The Market. 



Last week the wholesale market was 

 ■ xtremely quiet. Except for funerals, 

 liirthdays, flowers for the sick, etc., 

 tm.sinesB has been exceedingly in.-ictive. 



There was a pretty goo<l supiily of cut 

 -tock last week. Kxtra fancy (juality 

 in roses is out of the question, when it 

 i-onies in (juantity. A feature has been 

 the decrease in the suj)ply of carnations; 

 the few i-oming in .are small in bloom. 



•iladioli are now ;irri\ing in better 

 •-hape, since we have li.ad a few r;iins. 

 In these, America u\\<\ any white va- 

 rieties have the call; mixed (-(dors are 

 down in price. Valley and orchids are 

 in light supply and ha%(> little demand 

 at present. Lilies were considerably in 

 demand last week. Tlie demand for out- 

 door flowers, such as coriitlowcrs, Shasta 



The Tale a Pine Tree 

 Told Me 



Before me is a camp photo that my friend "Tut" 



has just sent me from his auto camp in the Adi- 



rondacks. 



In the background is White Face Mountain, one 



of the highest of the range. 



In the foreground, the rushing, foam-flecked Au- 



sable River. At the left, the glistening trunks of 



a clump of white paper birches. 



Here and there at wide intervals are pine trees, 



lone survivors of the woodman's axe. 



How sturdy and dominant is their leadership 

 among their fellowsJ Although they mingle, they 

 impress you as being unmistakably superior to 

 their comrades. 



And so are some men of the Florist business. 



Leaders they are because they are born leaders; 



not because either money or wire pulling has put 



them in the position of a leader. 



Some of us, knowing we are not born leaders, are 



nevertheless ever striving to do whatever we can 



do, the very best it can be done. 



Which statement comes pretty close to giving my 



viewpoint on running a florist shop or filling F. T. 



D. orders.

Florists' Club Meets. 



The St. Louis Florists' Clnb held an 

 interesting meeting .Inly F;, at the 



home of Charles Denker, St. ".'h.irlcs, 

 Mo. It was by far the most largely at- 

 tended meeting of the year. Seventy- 

 six were present when President Kowe 

 called the meeting to order. .Ml tin- 

 ofliccrs were present. 



The trustees reported that th.' August 

 meeting of the club would be held at 

 Kirkwood, Mo., at the greenliou>(> es-
