ST. LOUIS. 



The Market 



Business M'ith the local florists the past 

 week was fairly good, with weddings, 

 school commencements and funerals. The 

 school board again announced that no 

 flowers should be sent to commencement 

 exercises and this, of course, had a dis- 

 astrous effect on the trade, still quite a 

 lot of work was made up and sent to the 

 homes of the graduates. In the last few 

 days of the week the hot weather com- 

 pletely demoralized the cut flower trade 

 and stock became quite plentiful again 

 at the wholesale houses, especially in 

 roses and carnations, but quality of both 

 of these is not very good, roses being 

 somewhat off in color and carnations are 

 small. Prices have also dropped a few 

 cents again on all stock. 



Sweet peas have been a glut the past 

 week. These are selling very cheap in 

 thousand lots. Tracy and Blanche Fer- 

 ry have the best call. White and laven- 

 der, too, are very much used in funeral 

 work. 



Lily of the valley had a big call last 

 week, owing to so many weddings tak- 

 ing place. A. Berdan, of Kirkwood, Mo., 

 sends in a fine lot each day. Candidum 

 lilies are arriving in large lots, and 

 bring from $6 to $8 per hundred stalks. 

 Cornflowers and Jacqueminot roses are 

 expected in this week. Everything in the 

 ' ' green ' ' line is plentiful. 



Qub Meeting. 



One of those pleasant outdoor gather- 

 ings of the local club took place June 8 

 at John Steidle's place in Central, Mo. 

 This meeting was attended by thirty- 

 three members and most of them were 

 accompanied by their ladies, as per the 

 request of Mrs. Steidle. The members 

 took the one o'clock car, which took us 

 to where Brother Steidle was in waiting 

 with conveyances and we were taken to 

 his home, which was two miles away. 



After an inspection tour through this 

 well kept place, where nothing but fancy 

 stock grows, the meeting was called to 

 order under two large shade trees in the 

 rear of the greenhouses. Five new mem- 

 bers were elected, as follows: George 

 Angermueller, wholesaler; Henry Loh- 

 renz, retailer; Ed. Hicks, Jr., and Hen- 

 ry Aue, growers, all of St. Louis, and 

 H. F. Foreman, grower, of Louisiana, 

 Mo. The trustees were instructed to ar- 

 range for a picnic the latter part of 

 July. J. J. Beneke was appointed to act 

 as a committee of one on transportation 

 to the S. A. F. convention. 



The question of incorporating the club 

 came up and brought out a great discus- 

 sion. It was finally left to a committee 

 of two, J. F. Ammann and J. Wl Dun- 

 ford, to report at the next meeting. 

 Otto Koenig, chairman of the show com- 

 mittee, made a report, after which Ihe 

 club adjourned to meet on July 13, when 

 the nomination of officers takes place. 



After adjournment a fine lunch was 

 spread on the lawn near the residence, 

 at which nearly sixty were seated. After 

 drinking the health of Mr. and Mrs. 

 Steidle, and also to the speedy return of 

 our brothers, F. C. Weber and Theo. 

 Miller, who are now in foreign lands, the 

 president called on a few members to 

 make short talks. 



After lunch the members were invited 

 by A. Jablonsky to visit his place, only 

 a hundred feet away, where he is just 

 finishing the houses, which contain 25,-

Various Notes. 



Wlm. Meyer, of Kirkwood, bought the 

 entire outfit of Max Herzog, at Gratiot, 

 and has started to remove the houses, 

 boiler and plants to his place. 



Max Herzog has bought a fine resi- 

 dence on Arsenal street, in South St. 

 Louis, where he will make his home. 



Arthur Ellison and his father have re- 

 turned from their trip south. Arthur 

 says they had a good time, but he found 

 no bowling alleys to practice on while 

 away. He will start Monday night to 

 get in trim for Washington. 



Charles Schoenele says the report of 

 his leaving bachelorhood was a little pre- 

 mature. He took the joke good natured- 

 ly and his many friends in the trade had 

 a good deal of sport at his expense. 



The florists on Grand avenue and Olive 

 street had quite a busy week with school 

 work. Among them are Geo. W^ldbart, 

 Ellison Floral Co., Mrs. M. Ayers, 

 Mary Ostertag and Miss Newman. 



The picnic committee, Messrs. Guy, 

 Ammann and Fillmore, will be pleased 

 for any suggestions from any of the 

 members which will make the outing one 

 of the best ever given by the club. Sug- 

 gestions must be in before the next meet- 

 ing of the club, July 13, as the outing 

 will take place a week later.
