 week following. A considerable number 

 have promised to make up the party. 



Frank A. Hoerr, head of the St. Ijouis 

 Wholesale Cut Flower Co. and the St. 

 Louis Rose Co., who lias been away for 

 the last ten day.s, returned July 8 from 

 a most enjoyable eastern trip, which 

 included New York, Philadelphia and 

 Atlantic City. 



July 4 was a real florists' holiday; no 

 extra business was done for that day, 

 as on other holidays. Most of the re- 

 tailers closed for a half day and all the 

 wholesale houses closed at noon.

 ers leaving here Sunday morning, July

Thus exclaimed W. W. Hannell, 

 Watervliet, N. Y., in respon.se to a 

 toast to the climbing rose in which his 

 firm specializes. "As a suitable com- 

 panion to this rose, let me suggest 

 Paul's Scarlet Climber," added Fred 

 A. Danker, of Albany, N. Y. The oc- 

 casion was the annual gathering of the 

 Albany Florists' Club at the Fred 

 Goldring homestead, Slingerlands, N. 

 Y., charmingly located a few miles 

 from tho capital city. Some thirty of 

 the craft made the pilgrimage and, after 

 the usual routine of club matters, they 

 were escorted by the host through the 

 establisliiiient, whore stock was found 

 in fine shape, especially when the long 

 dull period of growing weather so es- 

 sential at this season is considered. 

 The social spirit prevailed and the hour 

 of midnight arrived all too quickly. 

 When the parting guests were speeding 

 homeward, they determined to allow no 

 ordinary happening to interfere with 

 the visit next month to the establish- 

 ment of James Snvder, the violet king, 

 at Rhinebeck, N. Y.

 engraved, was handed him by one of 

 the loveliest pupils, accompanied by

The Market. 



Flowers last week were more plenti- 

 ful than they have been for a long 

 time and some good roses came in at 

 prices which were considered by the re- 

 tailers to be more reasonable. They 

 ran from a low price of $4 per hundred 

 for the short stemmed and rather in- 

 ferior stock to $25 per hundred for the 

 finest Russell. Other good roses include 

 (Jolumbia and Premier. Few white Kais- 

 orin are to be had. The latter are fair 

 in quality. Some extra-fine Mock roses 

 were also offered. The demand for 

 roses was not heavy, because the retail- 

 ors were buying from hand to mouth. 

 They do not order any more than they 

 can reasonably dispose of, because of 

 the loss that is entailed during the hot 

 weather. 



There has been no improvement in 

 the Easter lily situation. These flow- 

 ers are still scarce and are bringing 

 $20 per hundred. Carnations are small, 

 but sell at $2 per hundred and there is 

 a considerable demand for white carna-
