We Make Good 



We make good statements because the flowers we grow 

 "make good." 



They make customers for our customers; they make good 

 profits for our customers; and they make good customers for us. 



And the steady growing trade they make for us enables us at 

 all times to have on hand the finest and largest possible assortment 

 of the best flowers because we have the market for them. 



Decorative— We carry a large stock Asparagus strings, Smilax, Adiantum, Bronze 

 and Green Galax, Ferns, Leucothoe and Wild Smilax, at lowest market prices.

come in. Chrysanthemums were quite 

 plentiful for Thanksgiving. Since then 

 they have decreased greatly and will 

 soon be a thing of the past. Violets were 

 held at $1 per hundred early Thursday, 

 but sold slow, until the price went down 

 to 75 cents. Bulbous stock is coming in 

 better. The market has plenty of lily of 

 the valley, Paper Whites, Eomans and 

 eallas. All houses are well stocked with 

 all kinds of greens. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. A. C. Canfield, of Springfield, 111., 

 spent a day in the city the past week. 



J. J. Karins, representing H. A. Dreer, 

 Philadelphia, called on the trade last 

 week. 



Thomas Longwortn, a landscape gar- 

 dener in the employ of Julius Pitzmann, 

 uropped dead while at work for the 



Park View Real Estate Co. the past 

 week. Mr. Longworth was well known 

 among the trade. He was 48 years of 

 age and leaves a wife and daughter. 



A runaway which might have seriously 

 injured Miss Schnell and Miss Tillie 

 Meinhardt, two of our lady florists, was 

 prevented by Charlie Schoenle, who 

 sprang at the horse's head when he was 

 at full speed. It happened in front of 

 G. A. Kuehn's and the crowd congratu- 

 lated Mr. Schoenle for his bravery. 



Charles Richards, well known to the 

 trade, having been employed at one of 

 the wholesale houses, was seriously hurt 

 last week in a new building at Sixth and 

 Washington avenue. 



Wm. Lingenbrink, formerly in business 

 here, has returned and will open an auto- 

 mobile shop in the west end. 



Fred Meinhardt, who was superintend- 



ent of the flower show, reports that the 

 executive board held a meeting the past 

 week and that the guarantors will be re- 

 turned forty per cent. 



The Florists' Club meeting will take 

 place next Thursday afternoon in the 

 new meeting hall. President Ammann 

 expects a large attendance. All guaran- 

 tors are requested to be present to hear 

 the report of the executive board of the 

 flower show. This is also an excellent 

 opportunity for the local growers to see 

 the retailers for their holiday wants. 



Fred C. Weber reports very good 

 business for Thanksgiving. His store 

 and show house were well filled with fine 

 palms and ferns, the rear show house 

 with blooming plants, which sold well. 



George Waldbart had a great display 

 of choice cut stock for Thanksgiving. 

 The place was tastefully decorated with 

 blooming plants and did a rushing busi- 

 ness. 



Hugo Gross, of Kirkwood, was married 

 last week to Miss Freda Bruno. Mr, 

 Gross is a member of the club and a large 

 consignor of carnations and violets to 

 this market. Congratulations are in 

 order. 



Mr. Steineke, of Old Orchard, Mo., 

 died on Sunday. He was the father of 

 R. Steineke, the well known grower of 

 that place, who has many friends in the 

 trade who sympathize with him. 



Our wholesalers, Kuehn, Ellis. Anger- 

 niueller and Berning, all report a big- 

 trade, both local and shipping for 

 Thanksgiving. Stock was of the best but 

 prices not as high as in former years, 

 owing to stock being very plentiful. 



The florist bowlers again met defeat 

 on Thanksgiving night, at the hands of 

 the Enterprise team, losing two out of 

 three games, by the following scores: 

 K_ Meinhardt was high, with 562, his 

 liigh game being 233; Beyer second, 483; 

 Beneke third, 477; Kuehn next, 473 and 

 Ellison last, with '428. The boys claim 

 too much turkey for the poor form dis- 

 played. J. J. B. 



St. Louis, Mo. — A. Waldmann is 

 building two houses, 16x100 feet, for 

 violets. 



St. Louis, Mo. — Henry F. W. Aue 

 is using two boilers made by the Hand- 

 bury Heater Co., Peoria, 111., and is well 

 pleased with them.
