ST. LOUIS. 



The Southwestern Market. 



The wholesale markets handled a lot 

 of flowers last week, both from local 

 and outside shippers. The bulk of it, 

 however, was of poor quality, espe- 

 cially the stock of our local growers, 

 whose outdoor stock has been badly 

 burned by the continuous hot weather 

 and the lack of rain. The retailers say 

 this is the dullest summer they ever 

 have experienced and that, outside of 

 funeral work, there is absolutely noth- 

 ing doing. The cut flowers that make 

 up the daily market this summer are 

 easily the poorest in many years. 



Roses are coming in from the young 

 stock; they are short-stemmed; most 

 of them are Killarneys. Kaiserins are 

 the best among the whites. There are 

 plenty of Beauties, but they are of 

 poor quality. Carnations are plentiful, 

 but small in flower. Gladioli come 

 with badly burned tips. Good Easter 

 lilies, valley and Shasta daisies sell 

 well. Prices run along as last quoted. 

 Fancy ferns, smilax and asparagus met 

 with a good demand last week. 



Florists' Club Meeting. 



The July meeting of the Florists ' 

 Club was by far the best attended 

 meeting of the year. Strong letters of 

 appeal sent out by President Pilcher 

 brought out some of the old-timers. 

 These, with the regulars, almost occu- 

 pied the seating capacity of the hall. 

 President Pilcher and all the other oflS- 

 cers were pi^sent to greet the mem- 

 bers as they came in. The importance 

 of this meeting, too, drew many of the 

 members. The meeting opened at 2 

 o'clock. The trustees reported that 

 everything was in readiness for the 

 picnic, to be held at Bamona park July 

 22. They also reported that all mat- 

 ters pertaining to the last banquet had 

 been settled. State Vice-president B. J.
