ST. LOUIS. ' 



The business among the local retail 

 florists since New Year's has been very 

 quiet and had it not been for a lot of 

 funeral work it could have been called 

 Tery dull. The social folks are as yet 

 not inclined to give any large * ' do- 

 ings, " as usual, at this time of the 

 jear. Some of the large establishments 

 up town report that they have a few 

 orders booked ahead for the latter part 

 of this month. 



Values in the flower market, which 

 have been holding up with a remarkable 

 persistency, have dropped off greatly the 

 past week on all grades, and especially 

 on violets, which can now be bought as 

 low &a 50 cents per hundred. There is 

 no glut as yet, but everything is plenti- 

 ful. 



Roses of the extra fancy grade are not 

 nny too many for the dfmand, but the 

 lesser grades in Brides, Maids, Golden 

 Gates, Meteors and Perles are more than 

 enough. In carnations the stook is of 

 extra good quality in all varieties. 

 Prices on fancy are down to 5 cents. 

 The grades behind these run from $1.50 

 to $3 per hundred. Whites are in big 

 demand. Colored stock is left over each 

 morning in large lots. 



In bulbous material our market is 

 greatly overstocked in almost everything 

 in season, A fine lot of Ilarrisii are 

 coming in now and are down to $12.50 

 per hundred. C?allas are scarce, Romans 

 and Paper Whites very plentiful. Vio- 

 lets ha\'o fallen ofi-' in dcinaiid and the 

 market has had nn oversupply the pajjt 

 week in California. Greens in smilax 

 and asparagus sold fairly well. 



Will Hucke is back in harness again 

 in rellevillo and is sending F. ^f. Ellis 

 a fine lot of asparagus, which aells 

 well. 



Mrs. Buechel. of the Biessen Floral 

 Co., reports that Mr. Buechel will 

 not be able to attend to business until 

 _fpring, as his broken limb is mending 

 slowly. They have been very busy since 

 the holidays. 



Charles Schoenelle of the Avers Floral 

 Co., is making a collection for the benefit 

 of the f«mily of the late Pat Qninn, who 

 are in need. SubHcriptions will be re- 

 ceived by any of our wholesalers.

 ports trade very satisfactory among the 

 florists in Belleville. Carl Beyer and 

 Frank Ellis were with him in at the 

 windup. 



It will probably be news to the flor- 

 ists outside of St. Louis who visited the 

 World's Fair and the famous Tyrolean 

 Alps that the little flower girl, Miss 

 Clotilde Jiricka, was married on Christ- 

 mas eve to Kenneth H. Bailey, the mil- 

 lionaire china merchant of London, 

 England. They are now on their way 

 across the waters, to the home of the 

 bridegroom. Miss Jiricka was a St. 

 Louis girl and presided the whole sea- 

 son at the flower stand in the Tyrolean 

 Alps, World's Fair grounds. 



Visitors in town were : George M. Kel- 

 logg, who spent Sunday here, leaving 

 that night for Jefferson City to attend 

 the inauguration of Governor Folk; 

 Judge Vesey, of Fort Wayne, who spent 

 Monday as the guest of Fred Meinhardt ;
