The Market 



The past week was a tryiog one for 

 the locf^ florists. Quite a number report 

 a big week's business and the show kept 

 them on the jump during the day and 

 evening. Stock at the wholesale houses 

 IS fairly plentiful, especially chrysanthe- 

 mums and roees. The fancy grades of 

 mums are coming in much more freely, 

 while the poorer grades are plentiful. 

 They move slowly at cheap prices. Among 

 the best seen are Eaton, Pink Ivory, Mme. 

 Perrin, Col. Appleton and Duekham. Only 

 the special grades bring $4 per dozen. 



Carnations are selling quite well, 

 though handicapped by the increased 

 quantity of mums. Some extra fine stock 

 of Mrs. Lawson, Enchantress, Boston 

 Market, Lady Bountiful and Estelle can 

 be had. Boses, too, are in fine shape but 

 sold very slowly the past week. Beauty, 

 Bichmond, Bride and Maid are included. 



California and double violets have a 

 big call and are about the only clean sell- 

 ers at present.. Prices on extra fancy 

 single go up to 75 cents per hundred. 

 Ulj of the valley has some call, but 

 plenty of it is in the market. Smilax is 

 selling slow. Other greens are plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



The Shaw banquet was given tmder 

 the will of the late Henry Shaw, by trus- 

 tees of the Missouri Botanic Garden, 

 Wednesday evening, November 8, at the 

 Mercantile Club, to florists, nurserymen 

 and market gardeners. The banquet hall 

 was neatly decorated by Fred Pope, Cov- 

 ers were laid for 100 and Prof. Wm. 

 Trelease was toast-master. The following 

 florists were in attendance: J. F. Am- 

 mann, C. A. Kuehn, A. Jablonsky, Emil 

 Schray, R J. FilliBor«, E. F. Xesscm, 

 Phil Oieble and J. J'. Beneke. Ths iaa-sta 

 responded to were "The Gardens," by 

 Oaorge E. McClure; "The Florist," by 

 President J. F. Ammann; "The Nur- 

 seryman, " by E. A. Biehl, of Alton, 111. ; 

 "The Pomologist, " L. A. Goodman, 

 president of the American Pomological 

 Society; "The Market Gardener," by L. 

 C. Davis, of Old Orchid, Mo.; "The Fed- 

 erated Interests," by Prof. H. C. Irish, 



of the National Council of Horticulti^e ; 

 "School Gardens," by Prof. W. J. 

 Stevens; "Playgrounds," by Gerard 

 Swope, and * * General Civic Work, "by 

 Henry T. Kent, president of the Civic 

 Improvement League. The banquet Vras 

 voted the best given in years. 



The Missouri Botanic Garden is ^ving 

 a chrysanthemum show at the garden, to 

 which the public is invited free. 



George Waldbart made a grand dis- 

 play, of chrysanthemums the past week 

 at his place on Grand avenue, which at- 

 tracted a great deal of attention from 

 passersby attending the local show. 



A. Jablonsky is sending in a fine lot 

 of carnations and roses. Henry Braun, 

 his foreman, says that his stock is as 

 fine as any of the stock shipped from 

 Chicago and other points. • f, ' 



Swan Peterson, of Gibson City, HI., 

 had on exhibition during the show a fine 

 lot of seedling carnations. 



Joseph F. Dickmann, formerly of the 

 firm of Dustard & Dickmann, seedsmen, 

 is now in the real estate business. 



Harry Young, Will Young, W. J. 

 Pilcher and W. E. Burrows, who visited 

 Chicago l^t week, were much impressed 

 with what the^^ saw at the fiower show 

 in that city. 



Arthur Ellisijn left Tuesday for Kan- 

 sas City to stage their entries made for 

 the show there this week. 



On Friday during the flower show, the 

 Beview, bringing the news of the Chi* 

 cago show, was eagerly looked over by 

 Adolph Poehlmann, Joe Hill and Alex 

 Wilson to see how they came out at the 

 big Chicago show. Each one was sup- 

 plied with a copy of the big issue. 



The florist bowlers lost three games 

 November 7 to the Hyde Parks. The last 

 two were lost by six pins. Bad splits 

 in each game lost the match to the flo- 

 rists. Meinhardt and Kuehn were high, 

 vnth 547 each. Ellison came next, 522; 

 Beneke, 467, and Lohrenz 453. Novem- 

 ber 14 they met the Kerns. J. J. B. 



New York, N. Y.— The Hoffman 

 House, once the leading hotel of the 

 United States, is to be replaced by a new 

 building. Fleischman has occupied a 

 store under the Hoffman House for 

 3fears.
