A. C. Zvolanek is shipping some fine 

 stock of sweet peas to J. K. Allen and 

 in large qxiantities, his own namesake 

 nmong them. 



'• John Young's window on Monday 

 evening was attractive with a great vase 

 of the gold medal carnation, Elsa Struss, 

 its first public display in New York. 

 Mr. Young is receiving also grand valley 

 from Carl Jurgens, of Newport. 



The Hinode Florist Co. has been in- 

 corporated, capital stock $10,000. The 

 incorporators are B. Suzuki, Elizabeth 

 .Mills and Philip Eecht. 



Frank White and wife, of Elizabeth, 

 were recently in the city, guests of J. K. 

 Allen, to whom Mr. White's father has 

 been shipping for nearly twenty years. 

 John White is one of the oldest of flor- 

 ists, having been foreman for Peter Hen- 

 derson forty years ago. He is now over 

 80, but attending to all departments of 

 his business and conducting a fine whole- 

 sale and retail trade. The plant totals 

 over 25,000 feet. Just now he is ship- 

 ping as fine smilax as ever reaches New 

 York. 



The ball contemplated for March 19 

 by another employees' association known 

 as the * * Victor Young ' ' has interested 

 many of the wholesale houses and gives 

 promise of much success. This may be 

 amalgamated with the retail association 

 and together, with Madison Square Gar- 

 den as headquarters, the Arion would not 

 be in it. Geo. Hildebrand is one of the 

 mo^•ing spirits in the enterprise. 



H. A. Stoothoflf has returned to New 

 York from a very successful western 

 trip. J. Austin Shaw.

ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



From all reports of the local retailers, 

 wholesalers and growers, despite winter's 

 mild weather, trade results have been 

 satisfactory. According to Mr. Ground- 

 hog, who came out on Friday, the city 

 florists will have pleasant weather, but 

 out in the country, the growers will 

 have six weeks more of winter. Monday 

 we had a deep snow and the coldest 

 weather so far this winter. 



The up-town florists say that there is 

 considerable work going on for weddings

and other social events. They also re- 

 port that their section is now overrun 

 with funeral order solicitors, commonly 

 known as ' ' crape pullers. ' ' Counter 

 sales and funeral work is good with the 

 down-town florists. 



As to stock, fancy roses are selling 

 well and are somewhat scarce. The de- 

 mand bids fair to continue brisk until 

 Lent. In the first and second grades the 

 market is well supplied, especially on 

 Brides and Maids. Red roses of all 

 kinds are scarce. There is a fair supply 

 of Beauties in all grades, with a steady 

 demand. 



Carnations are selling well, with extra 

 fine quality of stock in the market. En- 

 chantress, any good white and Lawson 

 have the call. Stock cleans up fairly 

 well each morning, with top price $4 

 per hundred. Scarlets are not any too 

 many. 



Bulbous stock is, as usual at this time 



of the year, very plentiful in all lines. 

 Callas and Harrisii are selling well; so 

 are tulips and Dutch hyacinths. Free- 

 sias, Romans and Paper Whites drag 

 somewhat. Violets sold better the past 

 week, with not so many in the market. 

 The bulk of them are California. The 

 market has plenty of adiantum, smilax, 

 leueothoe sprays, galax and asparagus. 

 Common ferns have gone up. 



Florists who carry blooming plants 

 say that trade was quite brisk the past 

 week. 



Various Notes. 



B. Eschner, of M. Rice & Co., Philadel- 

 phia, called on the trade the past week 

 with florists' supplies. 



Adolph G. Fehr, of Belleville, visited 

 the wholesale houses the past week. He 

 reports a steady demand for design 

 work. 



E. W. Guy, also of Belleville, called
