The Always Reliable 

 Wholesale Florists 



We want to impress on the attention of the buyers that we are the 



leading house on 



BEAUTIES 



All lengths. Also a large supply of fine Roses in all varieties. Our present 

 cut is from plants grown specially for a summer crop. No cold -storage 

 Peonies— our Peonies are direct from the field— sure to give you satisfaction. 

 Plenty of Carnations and we still are headquarters for fancy Sweet Peas. 



We have built up our big shipping trade, North, East, South and West, by 

 handling first-class stock and large quantities of it.

those present at the Wittbold store 

 say that they will never forget the 

 horror of that night. 



The retail store of the Geo. Wittbold 

 Co., on Buckingham place, was entered 

 on the night of May 31, by two cracks- 

 men, who evidently expected a rich 

 haul after a holiday and a Sunday com- 

 ing together. They were discovered by 

 a watchman and a lively revolver bat- 

 tle followed. The robbers made good 

 their escape by way of a front window, 

 having secured no loot. The interior of 

 the office, walls, partitions and furni- 

 ture, bears marks of many bullets. 



With a contract in sight covering 

 complete fixtures and refrigerator for 

 an up-to-date flower store, Sidney Buch- 

 binder has made two trips to Valpa- 

 raiso, Ind., within the week. 



F. H. Gelderman, of L. Baumann & 

 Co., is expected home the latter part of 

 this week, after a six weeks' trip to 

 Europe. 



Two large steam boilers for use in its 

 mill at Hawthorne and Weed streets 

 have been purchased by the Adam 

 Schillo Lumber Co. from the Kroeschell 

 Bros. Co. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Southwestern Market. 



The business done for Memorial day 

 was good, but from reports of many of 

 the retailers it was considerably less 

 than last year as far as cut stock went. 

 Those who handled plants say that 

 trade was as good as in any previous 

 year, though showing little if any in- 

 crease in this line this year. The whole- 

 salers put in busy days May 29 and 30, 

 with shipping orders and filling the 

 local demand. There was plenty of 

 stock. Few advance orders were placed 

 by the local trade at prices quoted 

 early. The prices that really pre- 

 vailed the last day were not too high, 

 which caused a liberal demand. The 

 weather was hot and consignments were 

 in anything but good condition. There 

 were plenty of carnations which plainly 

 showed the effects of the hot weather. 

 All roses, unless cut in tight bud, ar- 

 rived with wide open flowers and, of 

 course, were of little value. Gladioli, 

 such as America, King and The Bride,

is appreciated long after the price is 

 forgotten, while a cheap wagon gets 

 more expensive the longer yon have 

 it. Don't let a low price deceive you;

were fine and sold well. Sweet peas 

 were plentiful and low in price. 

 Peonies were abundant, as were outdoor 

 roses, field daisies, a good quality of 

 jasmines and a great lot of other out- 

 door cut stock. 



In greens the market was easy, with 

 everything plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



The Florists' Club's trustees, Messrs. 

 Windier, Ossick and Connon, will this 

 week take a day off and select a place 

 for holding the yearly outing. This is 

 one day of the year when the trade in 

 all its branches has a day off. 



George H. Pring has charge of the 

 big orchid houses at the Missouri Bo- 

 tanical Garden and everything is in fine 

 shape. 



Carlisle's Jasmines 



At prices so low that you cannot 

 afford to be without some as long 

 as they last. 



Don't miss having some of that 

 Jong stemmed one, it is something 

 choice— stems and foliage, too.
