Hiawatha, Kan. — J. W. Margrave 

 lays claim to being the oldest man ac- 

 tively engaged in the florists' trade. He 

 is 91 years of age. He has a ground bed 

 of roses twelve years old which is at 

 present giving a very satisfactory cut. 

 He has a smilax bed which has not been 

 leset in ten years and which is giving 

 good strings.

ST. LOUIS. 



The Market 



The unseasonable weather of late has 

 caused the local florists to buy cautious- 

 ly, so a great deal of stock went to waste 

 the past week at the wholesale houses, as 

 all four were loaded to the! top with 

 all kinds of stock in all grades. In 

 some cases the wholesaler would say, 

 "Your price is mine." 



The retailers about town to a man re- 

 port that cut flower trade is dull. Tran- 

 sietit trade has almost entirely disap- 

 peared and about the only work that is 

 going on is for a few small weddings, 

 commencements and the usual funerals. 

 Next week comes Decoration day, but it 

 amounts to little in St. Louis, so trade 

 is not expected to improve' to any great 

 extent. The number of weddings booked 

 for next month should improve business. 



The stock the past week was of good 

 quality. Beauties are becoming very 

 small and pale. Meteors, Bridesmaids, 

 Gates and Carnots are still in good color. 

 These, including Brides, move slowly. 

 Carnations are in great abundance in all 

 varieties. Enchantress, Prospetity and 

 Lawson are still fine. There is hardly 

 any use to say anything regarding the 

 price on any of the above, as almost in 

 every sale job-lot prices prevail. Peonies 

 are' selling as low as $1.50 per hundred. 

 Harrisii and callas are becoming some- 

 what scarce at this writing. Valley is 

 very plentiful. Sweet peas are more 

 than the demand can use. Fine cape 

 jasmines a-re ofl"ered at 75 cents per hun- 

 dred. 



On Monday the market promises to be 



not so heavy, with better prices and de- 

 mand. 



Variottt Notes. 



E. W. Guy, of Belleville, was in town 

 last week. He reports good trade in 

 plants. Dr. A. S. Halstead, also of Belle- 

 ville, president of the growers' club of 

 this city, presided over the meeting of 

 that body last Wednesday afternoon. 



Max Herzog has sold his place to the 

 Frisco R. R. to good advantage. After 

 Max has disposed of his stock and glass 

 he saj's he will take things easy for a 

 while. Should a good opportunity pre- 

 sent, he will re-enter the business. 



John Kalisch, of Wm. Kalisch & Sons, 

 will leave this week for a three months' 

 trip west, spending a few weeks at Port- 

 land to see the Lewis and Clark exposi- 

 tion. 



Fred H. Weber, on Boyle avenue, had 

 two of his wagons smashed through care- 

 lessness of two big automobiles along 

 Maryland avenue. 



H. Loyet, who recently opened a store 

 in King's highway, reports that he will 

 .soon open a branch on Olive street, near 

 Broadway, somewhere' between Fred Fos- 

 ter and Grimm & Gorley. 



A prominent jewelry firm on Broad- 

 way had an order for a funeral design 

 to give on Saturday and phoned to some 

 twenty florists to call with photographs 

 and make a bid for same. Ten of them 

 came togethet at the same time. Such 

 faces as were seen in that bunch will 

 long be remembered. The. value of the 

 design was $75. We did not learn which 

 bidder got the job. 



The! Henry Shaw medal, which was 

 founded in June, 1893, by the board of
