Out of Town Orders Receive Our Prompt and Careful Attention. 





Wm. Bouche, the landscape gardener, 

 has plenty of work on hand, including 

 that of the Park View Real Estate Co. 



Miss Badaracco had a big run of fu- 

 neral work the past week. She is noted 

 for a clever artist in this line. 



Conrad Bergesterman, who recently 

 opened a new place at the corner of 

 Grand avenue and Arsenal street, has 

 one of the best stores in that neighbor- 

 hood. He should do well, as the loca- 

 tion is good. 



Emil Schray and his family have 

 moved into their new residence across 

 the way from their place, which was re- 

 cently finished. 



The florist bowlers won two of the 

 games with the jewelers on last Tuesday 

 night. Arthur Ellison was in fine form, 

 having an average of 192, with total of 



577. Kuehn and Meinhardt were tied 

 for second, 505 each; Beneke, 485, and 

 Henry Lohrenz, who took .Capt. Beyer's 

 place, 409. This week Thursday they 

 met the Kerns, leaders in the race.

The Market 



Business is continuing right fair. 

 Though there is usually something of a 

 let-up in the demand just before the holi- 

 days, this year seems to be an exception, 

 ard the report from all sides is very 

 good. Numerous social functions, ban- 

 quets, etc., have used up large quantities 

 of flowers, wild smilaz and other greens, 

 and the demand for funeral work is 

 good. 



The f-upply of stock is just about equal 

 to the demand in most lines. Eoses are 

 ]>erhaps in heaviest supply, but there 

 has been no surplus. Eed roses are 

 scarce, as is usual. Carnations are scarce- 

 ly equal to the demand, but still there 

 are few orders which cannot be filled. 

 Mums are almost gone. Some few are 

 still to be seen here and there, but it is 

 hard to be sure of filling an order for 

 any special color. Violets are coming 

 in larger su)»ply and they sell out almost 

 at sight. Some very good narcissi are 

 to be had. Lilies of all kinds sell well 

 and are not very plentiful. 



Club Meeting. 



A most enthusiastic meeting of the 

 Florists' Society was held last Saturday 

 night an<l there was an unusually large-
