ing more plentiful but are selling well 

 and no glut is looked for on these until 

 after Thanksgiving. A few Harrisii and 

 calla lilies are in the market, with 

 plenty of valley and Paper Whites. 

 Romans are not in yet but are looked for 

 any day. 



The market is well supplied with 

 greens. 



The retail trade could also be much 

 better. The up-town florists have wed- 

 dings and receptions, while the principal 

 work among the down-town stores is fu- 

 neral work. We hope for a better report 

 for the next issue. 



Varioftt Notes. 



The Missouri Botanic Garden is con- 

 tinuing its chrysanthemum show free to 

 the public another week, the attendance 

 continuing very large daily. 



Phil Shoup, of J. A. Budlong, Chicago, 

 was calling on his customers the past 

 week, Alex Siegle and Fred Foster show- 

 ing him the town. 



The executive committee of the flower 

 show which is composed of Fred C. 

 Weber, F. H. Meinhardt, Theo. Miller, 

 E. W. Guy and O. G. Koenig, held a 

 meeting on Thursday night to settle up 

 the affairs of the show. The result will 

 be made known at the next club meeting, 

 December 14. 



Henry Johann, of Collinsville, 111,, was 

 over the past week buying supplies. He 

 built four new houses this summer and 

 two more will be put up next season. He 

 is sending in some very fine cut stock. 



Visitors were B. Eschner and Martin 

 Eeukauf, Philadelphia. 



Dr. Emil Preetorius, editor of the 

 Westliche Post, a leading German paper, 

 died last week. Mr. Preetorius was a 



great lover of flowers, and it was noted 

 that never a funeral took place in St. 

 Louis where there were as many and as 

 costly floral tributes as at this one. 



F. W. Taylor, who was chief of agri- 

 culture and horticulture at the World's 

 Fair, has returned to make St. Louis his 

 home. 



Eobert Aull, park commissioner, re- 

 turned the past week from an eastern 

 trip, where he collected statistics and 

 specifications for the new zoo which is 

 to be placed in Forest park. The portion 

 used by the World's Fair is rapidly 

 shaping itself and by next summer the 

 park will once again be in the hands of 

 the commissioner. 



The florists again met defeat at the 

 hands of the Fern Glens November 20. 

 They won the first game and lost the 

 last two. Ellison was again high man, 

 584; Kuehn, 512; Beneke, 478; Mein- 

 hardt, 473, and Beyer, 467. The games 

 were as follows:

The Market. 



We have had lots of sunshine the past 

 week, and it has been doubly welcome to 

 the growers in this vicinity, and resulted 

 in an increased cut for Thanksgiving. It 

 was early apparent that the only proba- 

 ble shortage would be on carnations. 

 Roses brought from $4 to $8 per hun- 

 dred, carnations $3 to $6 and chrysanthe- 

 mums $6 to $20. 



Business on the whole has been very 



quiet for the past week, only a few 

 small decorations being reported and but 

 little funeral work, which seemed to be 

 scattered. 



Various Notes. 



H, E. Carlton, of Willoughby, grower 

 of the Governor Herrick violet, was a 

 caller last week. He says that the violet 

 is doing better in every way than last 

 season, when he though he had it per- 

 fected. He makes a daily shipment to the 

 Cleveland Cut Flower Co. and had a 

 heavy cut for Thanksgiving. 



Carl Hagenburger, of Mentor, called 

 on the trade last week and reports every- 

 thing as being lovely at the home place, 

 and a good business at the Painesville 

 and Madison stores. 



The Cleveland Cut Flower Co. has 

 moved to its new store, at 111 Huron 

 street and find it much more convenient 

 and pleasanter than the old quarters. The 

 store is equipped with electric light and 

 steam heat, is easy to keep clean, and the 

 large windows afford plenty of light to 

 work with. Business with them has been 

 fairly good, but they say they could do 

 more if it came their way. 



Mr. Werner, of Werner Bros., Paines- 

 ville, O., was a caller on Saturday. He 

 belongs to the B. P. O. E. and was look- 

 ing up stock to be used by the order on 

 December 2 in the memorial services. 

 Mr. Werner has filled this order for many 

 years. Business with them has been very 

 good and he reports having sold out on 

 many varieties of dahlia roots, of which 

 they make a specialty. 



Please discontinue our primula adver- 

 tisement as we cannot take care of the 

 orders. — J. Sylvester, Oconto, Wis.
