ST. LOUIS. 



- ■ ■ - t 



The Market. 



From the reports of several of the 

 storenien in the West End, and also 

 downtown, business was fairly good the 

 past week. Most of the orders were for 

 funeral work, and it is only occasionally 

 that we hear of an order for a wedding 

 or party. 



First-class fancy stock is coming in 

 light in all varieties, with demand fairly 

 good. Roses in the first and second 

 grades are a little too plentiful. The 

 short-stemmed Brides, Maids, Carnot, 

 Ivory and Kaiserin that come in are 

 good in flower. 



Carnations are very slow and of poor 

 quality, especially the colored stock. 

 Whites are fairly good and seem to sell 

 much better than the colored stock. As- 

 ters are a glut in all colors and are 

 selling very cheap. Gladioli and tube- 

 rose stalks are also in greater supply 

 than the demand. Valley is fine but 

 in poor demand. The above is about 

 the only stock that comes to this mar- 

 ket. Greens are as usual, plentiful. 



Florists' Qub Meeting. 



The meeting of the Florists' Club took 

 place on Thursday afternoon, August 

 10, with all the officers present, the at- 

 tendance being thirty. The reports of 

 the different committees were made. 

 The transportation committee reported 

 that everything was in readiness for a 

 very enjoyable trip to Washington with 

 our friends from Chicago, Milwaukee, 

 Detroit and Buffalo. The party left 

 twenty-five strong at 8:30 Sunday night, 

 via Wabash to I^troit. Anton Pohnan 

 was elected a member of the club. The 

 resignations of Henry Felter and H. 

 M. Schisler were read and accepted. 



Election of Officers. 



The election of officers resulted as fol- 

 lows: For president, J. F. Ammann, of 

 Edwardsville, 111.; for vice-president, 

 John Steidel, of Central, Mo.; for sec- 

 retary, Emil Schray; for treasurer, Fred 

 H. Meinhardt; for three trustees, for the 

 three-year- term, Carl Beyer; for two 

 years, Frank Weber; for one year, F. J. 

 Fillmore, which will give the club a 

 good set of officers for the year. 



There was quite a discussion on cold 

 storage bulbs in which all the growers 

 took part. Frank Weber made a few re- 

 marks as to how to reach his place, 

 where the next meeting of the club will 

 be held. He also made a special an- 

 nouncement that he wanted to see the 

 ladies present in full force. The meet- 

 ing then adjourned after which a great 

 deal of convention talk was indulged in. 



Various Notes. 



Arthur .T. Ellison left for the north- 

 ern lakes last week to visit his parents, 

 but will return in a few days. 



John Connon is very busy putting the 

 finishing touches on two new houses. 

 This, John says, will keep him from 

 attending the S. A. F. at Washington. 



Fred Bruenig's place, on Gravois ave- 

 nue, is in fine shape. Rumor has it that 

 Fred bought a hundred acre farm near 

 Columbia, 111. 



George Waldbart's place at Clayton 

 is producing thousands of fine white 

 asters, single tuberose spikes, and glad- 

 ioli. He also has 100 different varieties 

 of dahlias, which are now coming in. 



The force at Kuehn's will start in this
