Mention The Rcylew when you write. 



E. H, Hunt has incorporated, with a 

 capital stock of $40,000. The incorpor- 

 ators are Charles M. Dickinson, Wil- 

 liam E. Lynch and Edgar A. Buzzell, 

 the latter an attorney. No change in 

 the business is contemplated. 



The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. has placed 

 an order with the Foley Mfg. Co. for 

 material for three greenhouses 27x300 

 feet for which grading is now being done 

 at New Castle. L. Coatsworth is on the 

 ground. 



The George Wittbold Co. has a con- 

 siderable stock of a novelty which has 

 been christened Lomaria Wittboldii and 

 is said to be the only tree fern with elk- 

 horn leaves. Plantsmen who have seen 

 it speak well of it as a specimen for 

 collections. 



Miss H. E., Carlson, formerly with 

 A. Lange, has opened a retail store at 

 92 Jackson boulevard and is doing a 

 nice business. 



Vaughan & Sperry have a novelty in 

 the way of stuffed rabbits for Easter. 



L. H. Winterson was called for jury 

 service on Monday, just at the time the 

 E. F. Winterson Co. was taking jts in- 

 ventory. 



Philip Schupp, at J. A. Budlong's, 

 calls <«tt^ntion to the quality of their 

 Brides and Maids. 



A. L. Randall Co. has its stock of 

 supplies now practically all on display. 

 The new catalogue is out and business 

 is beginning in good shape. 



F. C. Struvy states that his daughter 

 is to be married in May. She has charge 

 of the south side store, which Mr. Struvy 

 will dispose of. He says he would like 

 also to be rid of the north side store. 

 He has grown well-to-do in the business. 



but has never been able to see any fu- 

 ture in it. His friends designate him 

 as a business hypochondriac. 



E. C. Amling calls attention to the 

 fact that on February 12 and 22 there 

 will be but one mail delivery, leaving 

 the postoffice about 9 a. m. Orders not 

 mailed in season for this delivery should 

 be telegraphed. February 14 is Val- 

 entine 's day. Last year many violets 

 were required. 



Peter Reinberg is just in with a fine 

 crop of Uncle John and his Brides and 

 Maids are also producing well. 



George Reinberg is making prepara- 

 tions to rebuild some of his oldest houses 

 and to add enough glass to cover his re- 

 maining vacant real estate, nearly two" 

 acres. 



Weiland & Risch are making prepara- 

 tions to begin their new range of houses 

 for Killarney as soon as possible in 

 the spring. They will plant only own- 

 root stock of Killarney this year, but 

 will retain the grafted plants now on 

 the benches. The propagating depart- 

 ment is also busy keeping pace with or- 

 ders for stock of this rose. 



P. J. Hauswirth says that, of all 

 that he saw in New York and Boston 

 last week, nothing impressed him more 

 favorably than Wm. Sim 's sweet peas. 



The venerable father of N. J. Wietor 

 and Henry Wietor has been ill for sev- 

 eral months and is steadily growing 

 weaker. He was a pioneer vegetable 

 grower north of town and many veterans 

 will be pained to hear the news. 



Kroeschell Bros. Co. saj's that the num- 

 ber of early inquiries for boilers indi- 

 cates a very busy season of greenhouse 

 building. 



Among the week's visitors are Carl 

 Hirsch, of Hillsdale, Mich., and Charles 

 Heite, of the W. L. Rock Flower Co., 

 Kansas City. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



Trade among the local retail florists 

 the past week was reported as being 

 good. The weather has been exceed- 

 ingly mild for January and has created 

 a large supply of cut flowers through- 

 out the month. There was a liberal de- 

 mand for first-class stock, but the sup- 

 ply in this grade was not enough. With 

 the first and second grades the supply 

 was much more than the demand. 



Really fine roses are rather limited. 

 During the past week there was a big 

 demand for Richmond and Killarney, 

 also fancy Brides and Maids. Fancy 

 American Beauties are in demand, with 

 top price at $5. Fancy carnations have 

 been selling well, especially for McKinley 

 day. Colored stock had a great call at 

 advanced prices. The large amount of 

 funeral work cleaned up a big lot of 

 white and Enchantress carnations, which 

 were quite plentiful. 



Violets increase in quantity daily and 

 the quality is very good. Prices on 

 Californias are very low. Doubles are 

 fine in color but demand is slow. Bulb- 

 ous stock is becoming more plentiful 

 each day and prices are down, especially 

 on Romans and Paper Whites, Fine 

 white tulips are in the market at $4 per 

 hundred. Valley is steady at the usual 

 price. Daffodils and jonquils are now 

 coming in and will soon be plentiful.
