The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



JULT 20. 1905. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Market 



Trade amang the retailers is reported 

 yery dull the past week; still, consider- 

 ing that we are in mid-summer, quite a 

 lot of funeral work is being made up. 

 This is, of course, all that the retailers 

 depend upon. At the wholesale houses, 

 -where most of the trade congregates 

 each morning, we hear in conversation a 

 •great deal of talk on the club's outing 

 this week and the S. A. F. convention 

 next month. 



Good stock is not at all plentiful byt 

 of lower grades there is enough for all. 

 Prices do not change much if any. Clean- 

 up sales are still going on and one has 

 to order the day before, or come early, 

 to obtain desirable stock. Beauties are 

 coming in somewhat better, with fancies 

 limited, shorts more plentiful. Other 

 roses, such as Brides and Maids, are 

 poor. Liberties are good. Carnations 

 •are in demand and not near enough good 

 •stock comes in to go around. Sweet peas 

 are not extra good, asters not yet in large 

 •supply, gladioli more than enough. Tube- 

 rose stalks are fine. Other outdoor stock 

 sells poorly. There are plenty of greens 

 of all kinds, including fine smilax and 

 asparagus strings and sprays. 



Qub Meeting. 



The July meeting of the club proved 

 Tery interesting and a large number 

 •were present. The nomination of ofii- 

 ■eera for the ensuing year was a special 

 feature, as was the question of incor- 

 porating the club. The meeting opened 

 at 2 o'clock, with President Juengel in 

 the chair and with all of the other offi- 

 ■cers present. President Halstead, of the 

 local growers' club, was a visitor. 



The chairman of the flower show com- 

 mittee made a lengthy report, announc- 

 ing that Westminster hall, 3806 Olive 

 street, had been engaged for the show. 

 The date is November 7 to 10. The outing 

 •committee reported that everything was 

 in readiness for a good time at Mollen- 

 brock's grove July 20. The matteT'of 

 incorporating the club was laid over un- 

 til the next meeting. 



The nomination of officers for the dif- 

 ferent offices took place as follows: For 

 president, J. F. Ammann, J. W. Dan- 

 ford, Frank Ellis and C. C. Sanders ; for 

 vice-president, John Steidle, A. G. Fehr, 

 George Windier and Rude Windt; for 

 secretary, Emil Schray, J. J. Beneke, 

 O.. G. Koenig; for treasurer, Fred H. 

 Meinhardt, E. W. Guy and George An- 

 germueller; for three trustees, one for 

 three years, one for two years and one 

 for one year, there were nine candidates, 

 Carl Beyer, Frank Weber, A. G Bent- 

 zen, V. Gorley, Henry Lohrenz, Fr^-1 H. 

 Weber, W. J. Pilcher, A. Y. EUisiJn, 

 JoLn R. Steinecke and Frank H. Fill- 

 more. The election will take place at 

 the next regular meeting, August 10. 



Frank Weber said that as the club 

 had accepted .his invitation to hold its 

 September meeting at his place, the 

 ladies are especially invited. The more 

 the pleasanter the gathering. 



Various Notes. 



Frank J. Fillmore & Son will open a 

 flower store at 3310 Meramec street the 

 latter part of this month. This is only 

 a few blocks away from their green- 

 houses. Frank, Jr., will be married next 

 week to Miss Lydia Gabler and will live 

 over the store. Congratulations are now J
