died at Kiverside on December 2 at 

 the ripe old age of 87 years. She had 

 been very feeble ever since her fall of 

 last spring. The funeral was held on 

 Tuasday. 



Kennicott Bros. Co. had the ill luck 

 to lose one Thanksgiving shipment of 

 chrysanthemums because of frost. Tues- 

 day saw the temperature up to 68 de- 

 grees and Wednesday found it 18 de- 

 grees. One of George Bayer's incoming 

 cases from Toledo was caught with in- 

 sufficient wrappings and 300 fine Bon- 

 naffons were black when unpacked. 



Frank Schramm, of Park Bidge, is 

 just beginning to cut satisfactorily. He 

 did a great amount of rebuilding last 

 season and was late in getting his place 

 planted, but everything is now in fine 

 shape and promising well for spring. 



L. A. Tonner has quit business at the 

 Flower Growers' Market and assumed 

 charge of the supply department of the 

 A. L. Eandall Co., leaving on Monday 

 for New York to buy stock. 



John Degnan is again holding down 

 his desk at Winterson's. He denies the 

 blood-poisoning story. Clifford Pruner 

 is now on the sick list. 



The Florists' Club will hold its first 

 meeting under its new president on the 

 evening of December 14. A good crowd 

 is expected. 



Peter Keinberg thinks Uncle John is 

 one of the best roses on the place. He, 

 is cutting heavily. Liberty is also giv- 

 ing very fine results at present. 



Peter Eeinberg left Monday evening 

 for Newton, 111., as Leonard Kill says, 

 hunting for quail. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. is cutting large 

 numbers of late chrysanthemums and 

 quality is excellent. 



One of the week's visitors was Miss 

 Ida L. Chittenden, of Lansing, Mich. 

 Miss Chittenden is known as one of the 

 most successful violet growers in the 

 west. She has grown Marie Louise with 

 uniformly good results for ten years. 



Weiland & Eisch are now cutting Kil- 

 larney in quantity and of very good 

 quality. They report orders coming from 

 long distances for this rose, showing 

 that it will be in demand in other mar- 

 kets when it can be supplied. It certainly 

 is a very popular novelty. And Welles- 

 ley is also in good shape and selling well.

Alois Frey, at Lincoln park, has named 

 one of his new chrysanthemums for 

 Sarah Bernhardt. 



Kroeschell Bros. Co. reports that this 

 year's business in boilers is well ahead 

 of last year, with a certainty of a few 

 more sales before the returns are all in. 

 They have sold boilers in Maine and 

 New Jersey, in Oregon, California, 

 Texas, and Montreal. There is not a 

 state in the Union where Kroeschell 

 boilers are not used. 



E. H. Hunt's are very busy with or- 

 ders for Christmas supplies. The ship- 

 ping department is working nights right 

 along. It is much the best year on a 

 record going back to 1878. 



Toledo, O. — E. Suder has a pink 

 sport of Mrs. M. A. Patten carnation 

 which is thought very highly of. Quite 

 a stock has been worked up. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



Thanksgiving trade among the retail- 

 ers and wholesalers was about the same 

 as in former years, though some say that 

 their business was very much better, and 

 others say not as much. Prices were very 

 much lower than in former years and this 

 made the life of the wholesaler full of 

 care and trouble. They all had plenty 

 of stock in all grades. All of the high 

 grade stock sold readily at quoted prices, 

 but the poorer stock sold at low prices. 

 That was especially the case with roses, 

 of which there were more than the trade 

 could handle, and are so yet, as good 

 stock sold Saturday as low as $2 per hun- 

 dred. 



Carnations sold well at good prices. 

 This week the prices were chopped off a 

 little. Extra quality stock continues to
