ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



The past week the weather has been 

 very hot and trade dull in all lines. Now 

 that we are turning into the autumn 

 season better business will be looked for. 



The receipts of flowers at the whole- 

 sale establishments are about as usual 

 at this time of the year, with prices 

 rather low for the quality of stock that 

 is seen. Eoses are beginning to look 

 better, showing longer and stronger 

 stems and the buds firmer. Carnations 

 too, are showing better blooms and 

 longer stems, from under glass. Asters 

 are still coming in big lots, with the best 

 flowers selling well. Common stock is 

 generally kept over for cheap work. 

 Plenty of good valley is to be had. 

 Dahlias are beginning to be plentiful and 

 are already accumulating in the hands of 

 the dealers. Tuberoses are also more 

 than the demand calls for. In greens, 

 smilax, asparagus and maidenhair fern 

 are wanted in only limited quantities, 

 also plenty of common ferns and galax. 



Various Notes. 



A. C. Canfield, of Sprinfield, 111., was 

 a recent visitor. 



Miss Badaracco has been very busy 

 of late, with funeral work, having all 

 the work for the funeral of L. M. Eum- 

 sy, one of the richest men in St. Louis. 

 Miss Badaracco will leave this week for 

 West Baden Springs for ten days of 

 much needed rest. 



Charlie Kuehn, W. J. Pilcher and V. 

 Gorley were the last of the St. Louis 

 party to return from the convention. 



August Schuerman, of the Schuerman 

 Floral and Decorative Co., has a new 

 Christmas bell made of birch bark, for 

 which he claims he has taken enough or- 

 ders to ship east to keep him busy right 

 up to Christmas. 



Frank Fillmore's place, on Nebraska 

 avenue, is in fine shape. All his stock 

 is good, especially the roses and car- 

 nations, from which much is expected 

 for the fall trade. He is prone to quote 

 the wis3 sayings of great men and says 

 that "a true Christian is a man who 

 prays for rain when he knows that damp 

 weather gives him rheumatism. ' ' The 



new place on Meramec street is doing 

 quite well. 



A. G. Greiner's place on the Natural 

 Bridge road has had many visitors this 

 summer. He has on exhibition 14,000 

 cacti. Mr. Greiner claims to have the 

 largest collection in this country. 



James W. Dunford, out in Central, has 

 everything in tiptop shape for the fall 

 season and from his houses of carna- 

 tions, roses and violets he expects great 

 things this winter. 



Henri Theodore Antoine Hus, experi- 

 menter, and Miss Florence Thiell, assis- 

 tant herbarian, both of the Missouri Bo- 

 tanic Garden, were married on Wednes- 

 day of last week. Cupid's other victims 

 in the garden were Mr. and Mrs. H. C. 

 Irish, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Norton, Mr. 

 and Mrs. C. H. Thompson and Mr. and 

 Mrs. George McClure. They say that the 

 sixth wedding is looked for very soon. 



Don't forget the club meeting next 

 Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock. This 

 meeting will take place at Weber's nurs- 

 ery, in Gardenville. The secretary's no- 

 tice will explain how to get there. Presi- 

 dent Juengel and President-elect Am- 

 mann are looking forward to a large 

 attendance. 



C. A. Kuehn, F. M. Ellis, H. G. Bern- 

 ing and George Angermueller, our four 

 wholesale men, attended the S. A. F. 

 convention. Since their return all are 

 hard at work putting their places in 

 shape for the opening of the fall trade. 



Mr. and Mrs. Albert Dietschy, of Al- 

 ton, 111., left last week for an extendsd 

 trip through the east, for both pleasure 

 and business. 



A. Diecks, representing Jansen & Co., 

 New York, called on the trade the past 

 week. 



Nick and John Himmers, out at Mera- 

 mec Highlands, are busy completing five 

 new houses 20x100. When these are com- 

 pleted the Himmers will have 150,000 

 feet of glass, used for roses, carnations, 

 violets and smilax, from which the trade 

 can look for good stock this winter. 



Mr. Zirkmann, representing M. Eice & 

 Co., Philadelphia, made the rounds of the 

 trade here last week. 



Fred Weber, Jr., left last week for an 

 extended trip through the east on busi- 

 nefs and pleasure. 



September 2 was the f?econd and last 

 Sunday opening of this year at the Mis- 



souri Botanic Garden. The attendance 

 was close to 17,000. The garden is in fine 

 shape. The orchid houses and the tomb 

 of Henry Shaw were the special attrac- 

 tions during the day. 



Bowling. 



The St. Louis Florists' Bowling Club 

 celebrated on Monday night, September 

 4. Their guests were Theo. Miller, Fred 

 C. Weber and the DeSoto Florists' Bowl- 

 ing Club. Six alleys were at the dis- 

 posal of the many friends in the trade 

 who came to do houor to our guests. 

 There was plenty to eat, drink and 

 smoke for all. The crowd was estimated 

 at sixty and it was voted the most suc- 

 cessful event ever got up by the flo- 

 lists. Edwardsvile, Belleville, Kirk- 

 wood, Central and DeSoto were well rep- 

 lesented. A match of four games was 

 played between St. Louis and DeSoto 

 bowling teams, which resulted in favor 

 of St. Louis by 312 pins. The score fol- 

 lows:

CAPAQTY OF BOILER. 



I have a horizontal tubular boiler nine 

 feet long, thirty-four inches in diameter 

 and containing thirty-two 2 ^/^ -inch flues, 

 the fire-box is 34x60 inches. I use the 

 overhead hot-water system of heating 

 and would like to know how many square 

 feet of direct radiating surface this 

 boiler will carry? F. G. L. 



Your boiler has a capacity to provide 

 heat for about 2,000 feet of radiation, 

 which is equivalent to 4,600 feet of 114- 

 inch pipe or 3,200 feet of 2-inch pipe.
