Chrysanthemums are still holding the 

 fort and they are really the cause for the 

 big glut in roses and carnations. Some 

 extra fine stock is seen but the top price 

 this week seems to be $2 per dozen. 



Roses are in full supply in all varie- 

 ties. While a few choice lots brought $5 

 per hundred it is nothing unusual to see 

 lots of 1,000 sold at $10, short Beauties 

 included. 



The market is well supplied with fine 

 Enchantress, Lawson, Mrs. Patten, Cardi- 

 nal, Lady Bountiful and Boston Market. 

 Some poor stock has gone to waste. 

 Valley and Paper Whites sell fairly well. 

 Violets, too, are cleaning up satisfac- 

 torily. 



Plenty of good smilax is to be had, 

 also adiantum, asparagus, galax leaves 

 and common ferns. 



Reports from the west end florists, 

 who handle a great many plants, are 

 that trade with them is good. 



Various Notes. 



The chrysanthemum show given by the 

 Missouri Botanic Garden was a great suc- 

 cess and the crowds were estimated at 

 1,500 per day. The show was held in 

 a large tent, the entrance being through 

 one of the show houses. The sight was 

 a beautiful one and the directors were 

 complimented on all sides. George Mc- 

 Clure also came in for a great deal of 

 praise. A great many varieties were 

 shown and the quality of the stock left 

 iittle to be desired. Paul Roper and a 

 number of students were in attendance 



to answer questions. The exhibition was 

 free to the public. 



While in the neighborhood I paid a 

 visit to my friends at Tower Grove park, 

 where I found James Gurney, young Mr. 

 Gurney and Mr. Bazil, of Bellefontaine 

 cemetery, looking through the big houses, 

 where we saw crotons and pandanuses, 

 which are a great credit to Hugo Schaff 

 and Phil Gieble, the gardeners of the 

 park, by whom we were shown through. 



Treasurer Weber, of the flower show 

 committee, has been busy making out 

 checks to the prize winners and all have 

 been paid in full. The show was not a 

 success financially, but as the guarantee 

 fund was quite large, the guarantors 

 will probably receive in return about 

 one-third of their subscriptions. 



Fred C. Weber and John Steidle were 

 at Kansas City last week. Fred Mein- 

 hardt and O. G. Koenig went up Wednes- 

 day night. Theo. Miller and Fred Weber, 

 Jr., left Thursday night for the same 

 place. Most of them are back and report 

 a great show, with a big attendance. 



W, E. Burrows and W. J. Pilcher, who 

 left Thursday night for Indianapolis, 

 to attend the show at that place, have re- 

 turned and report that Indianapolis, too, 

 had a big show and a fine exhibition. 



Henry Ostertag, who has been sick 

 for some time, is out and around again. 

 It is reported that he will open a big 

 store down town, near Broadway and 

 Olive streets. 



The Ellison Floral Co. has been very 

 busy the last week, with receptions, hav- 

 ing no less than five. 



Theo. Miller is making a fine display 

 of plants and cut blooms of chrysanthe- 

 mums in his show house at Delmar and 

 Euclid avenues. 



Rudolph Windt, the club's official 

 photographer, obtained some extra fine 

 views of the late show, especially the 

 prize winners. 



Henry Baer, of Peoria, is shipping an 

 extra fine lot of carnations to C. A. 

 Kuehn. 



Alex. Waldbart & Sons, on Horton 

 place, report a good trade. 



A. G. Greiner's display of cacti at the 

 flower show was a great attraction for 

 the visitors. 



Mr. Barnett, representing Reed & Kel- 

 ler, New York, called the past week. 



Mrs. W. J. Vesey, returning from Kan- 

 sas City, spent the day in the city on 

 Friday. 



The florists' team lost two games to 

 the Unions November 14, although they 

 averaged 871 per game and 174 per man. 

 Ellison was high man, 574; Beyer, 529; 

 Kuehn, 524; Beneke, 517, and Mein- 

 hardt, 455. J. J. B.
