ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



The local wholesale market last week 

 was in splendid condition so far as sup- 

 ply was concerned. Anything in sea- 

 son was on sale at any of the five mar- 

 kets. A few days of bad weather, with 

 snow and rain, cut ofl a great deal of 

 the retailers' trade. Previous to this, 

 the retailers reported a splendid tran- 

 sient business. Prices had a downward 

 tendency the last of the week. Carna- 

 tions have been plentiful, with a poor 

 demand. These were extra good. Vio- 

 lets suffered greatly and fine stock is 

 quoted as low as $2 per thousand, with 

 extra fancy at 50 cents per hundred. 

 Roses are better tlian for some time, 

 but the demand is only for the best 

 grade. Killarneys continue to be the 

 bulk of the rose supplj'. A great many 

 sweet peas are coming in daily. These 

 have a surprisingly good demand. The 

 supply of bulbous slock is heavy and 

 now that southern shipments are com- 

 ing in, a glut is looked for. Greenhouse 

 daffodils will suffer from this competi- 

 tion. Lilies, tulips, Dutch hyacinths, 

 Romans and Paper AVhites are slow in 

 demand, as also are valley and snap- 

 dragons, asparagus and common and 

 fanc^r ferns. 



Various Notes. 



Thomas Petersen and Charles Roper 

 are now in the employ of Werner Bros., 

 at Clayton, Mo. Both men are well 

 known in the trade, as twenty years ago 

 they were members of the old Florists' 

 Bowling Club and we spent many pleas- 

 ant Monday evenings together. 



The County Growers' Association 

 held its regular monthly meeting March 

 3. The meeting was well attended, and 

 some interesting discussions took place. 

 It was decided to join the St. Louis 

 Florists' Club in entertaining the 

 American Carnation Society when it 

 meets here in January, 1916. 



J. F. Ammann, Edwin Denker, W. J. 

 Pilcher, John Steidle and Charles 

 Johann were the members of the St. 

 Louis Florists' Club who attended the 

 Illinois State Florists' Association's 

 meeting last week. They report a 

 splendid meeting and a good time. 



George Angermueller had quite a run 

 of shipping trade last week. Green 

 fluid for carnations and wire hanging 

 baskets had a good call. Cut flower 

 consignments were large. 



The Sanders Nurseries will have a fine 

 lot of Easter lilies this year. They 

 contemplate building a large rose house 

 this summer at their Henley road plant. 

 The nursery and retail departments, on 

 Clara avenue, report some busy days.
