The WcdUy Florists' Review* 



Mat 11, 1005. 



ST.LOUIS. 



The Maiket 



It is really diflScult for us to say much 

 about the cut flower market at this 

 writing. After a week of very fluctuat- 

 ing weather the report in general is 

 that cut flower trade is dull, very little 

 doing in any one line except iu the sale 

 of plants, which is reported good by the 

 plantsmen. 



A great oversupply in cut stock of all 

 kinds is still the report of the wholesalers 

 and very little is bringing anything like 

 average prices, the bulk of the receipts 

 being sold very cheap in large lots. 



Eoses are of extra fine quality and 

 high in color. Select teas are sold as low 

 as $5 per hundred and fancy Beauties at 

 $3 per dozen. Carnations are coming in 

 fine, but too many for the demand. Ex- 

 tra fancy stock is again down to $3 

 and common as low as 75 cents per 

 hundred. 



The market is again flooded with 

 Harrisii and longiflorums. Outdoor val- 

 ley has its effect on the indoor crop. 

 Other bulbous stock is about cut out. Bed 

 peonies are in the market at $4 per hun- 

 dred. Sweet peas are very plentiful in 

 all colors. White and lavender sell best 

 at from 40 to 60 cents per hundred. Smi- 

 lax, fancy ferns, adiantum, asparagus 

 and all other greens are plentiful. 



Varioisf Notes. 



The executive committee for the fall 

 flower show met at Mr. Koenig's on May 

 4 and decided on the dates of the show, 

 which will be the week of November 7. 

 The preliminary list will be out this 

 week and will perhaps be distributed at 

 the club meeting. A place for holding 

 the show had not yet been found. 



The city council has appropriated 

 $126,397 to the city park department, 

 which Park Commissioner AuU dis- 

 tributed as follows: OflBce of park com- 

 missioner, $11,097; Forest park, $65,000; 

 Benton, $3,000; Carondelet, $10,000; 

 Carr place, $2,000; Forest park boule- 

 vard, $1,000; Fountain, $1,500; Gamble 

 place, $1,000; Gravies park, $1,200; 

 Hyde park, $3,000; Jackson place, $1,- 

 000; Kendrick garden, $900; Laclede, 

 $1,100; Lyon park, $2,000; O 'Fallon 

 park, $10,000; Eose Hill, $300; St. Louis 

 place, $6,500; South St. Louis place, 

 $800, and Washington square (City 

 Hall), $5,000. Lafayette and Tower 

 Grove parks are not mentioned, as they 

 do not come under the jurisdiction of 

 the city park departments and Messrs. 

 Hunt and Gurney are paid from a sepa- 

 rate fund. 



It has been reported that Phil Haus- 

 wirth, of Chicago, was in town last 

 week, calling on friends, but we did not 

 see him. 



Carl Beyer had to do jury duty the 

 past week. He wants some one to tell 

 him why they always come for him dur- 

 ing the busy planting time. 



Fred C. Weber was busy the past 

 week with funeral work for several so- 

 ciety people who had deaths in their 

 families. 



Grimm & Gorley report that they are 

 doing nicely in the new store at Sixth 

 and Olive streets, which they recently 

 opened. 



The great wind, haU and rain storm 

 on Thursday of last week did a great 

 amount of damage to trees throughout 

 the city. The greenhouse men escaped

with a few lights of glass broken. Had 

 the hailstones been larger the damage to 

 glass would have reached into thousands 

 of dollars. 



Bedding has begun and planting is 

 going on all over the city and at the 

 city parks. City Hall park has added 

 some new features. Many more beds are 

 being planted than usual. 



The bowlers had plenty of fun on Mon- 

 day night. Nine members rolled five 

 games, in which B. Meinhardt was high, 

 777; Kuehn, second, 741; Thso. Miller, 

 third, 735. Next in order came C. 

 Beyer, Beneke, Ellis, F. Meinhardt, Ed 



Gerlach and H. Lohrenz. Next week the 

 boys will make the EteSoto trip.

Montgomery, Ala. — W. B. Paterson 

 will add three greenhouses to his estab- 

 lishment at a cost of $2,500. 



Greenville, Mich. — On the afternoon 

 of May 4 the heaviest hail storm ever 

 known here inflicted great loss. L. C. 

 Lincoln's greenhouses were hit hard. On 

 one house glazed with single thick glass 

 hardly a whole pane was left. Stock out- 

 side was badly cut up.
