a good market. Miss Catherine Vesey, 

 a student at Western College, Oxford, 

 O., was a guest at the Vesey home 

 over Thanksgiving. R. F.

The Market. 



Thanksgiving business, on the whole, 

 was not up to expectations by any 

 meand. The wholesalers found the de- 

 mand not nearly so heavy as last year. 

 Stock was plentiful and prices were 

 much lower this year on fancy grades 

 of roses, chrysanthemums, carnations 

 and sweet peas. November 23 the 

 consignors failed to send in much of 

 anything, which made the retailers 

 think a shortage was at hand, but stock 

 arrived in abundance the next "three 

 days and the prices eased oflf. 



Chrysanthemums are showing that 

 their time is about over. The consign- 

 ments are not nearly bo heavy as they 

 were. Yellow Jones, Chadwick and 

 Eaton are the varieties still with us. 

 These sell well. Roses are not over- 

 plentiful and it seems as though our 

 local growers are somewhat oflf crop. 

 This should bring them in right for the 

 holidays. Carnations, too, are a little 

 oflf in supply, but no shortage is ex- 

 pected. The market is fairly well sup- 

 plied with sweet peas, violets, Paper 

 Whites, stevia, valley and lilies. There 

 is a fairly good supply of all kinds of 

 greens. 



Various Notes. 



The annual banquet given by the 

 Missouri Botanical Garden took place 

 November 27, at the University Club. 

 Covers were laid for nearly 300 guests. 

 The tables were nicely decorated with 

 ferns and Begonia Lorraine. Dr. Geo. 

 T. Moore was toastmaster and the 

 speakers were Prof. J. C. Whitten, 

 Prof. A. T. Erwin and Arthur W. Gross. 

 W. C. Smith, W. 8. Wells and J. J. 

 Beneke were the florists present.

Chas. FuUgraf, one of our leading 

 landscape artists, will leave this week 

 for an extended hunting trip in New 

 Mexico. He is out for big game and 

 promises to remember his friends at 

 home. 



M. M. Ayres, George Waldbart and 

 the Metropolitan Floral Co., at Grand 

 avenue and Olive street, say Thanks- 

 giving business was about the same as 

 last year. Chrysanthemums sold better 

 than any other flowers. 



Grimm & Gorly, Riessen Floral Co., 

 Mullanphy and F. J. Foster, in the 

 downtown business district, made fine 

 Thanksgiving displays and report a 

 satisfactory business.

The chicken show at the Coliseum 

 last week drew a good share of patrgn- 

 age from the florists, as a great many 

 city and country florists handle fancy 

 chickens.
