also excellent. There are dozens of other 

 almost equally fine varieties all in mag- 

 nificent bloom. The other species, such 

 as Persica. Chinensis, pubescens, etc., are 

 all very fine. ".« H 



Jackson Dawson has planted out sev- 

 eral thousand Crataegus during the pres- 

 ent season and continues to raise addi- 

 tional forms, which will soon number 

 into the thousands. Some of those 

 planted last year are blooming finely. 

 The results of winter killing, so pain- 

 fully noticeable in 1904 and 1905, are 

 almost entirely absent this season. The 

 rhododendrons and azaleas just opening 

 promise to be unusually fine and the kal- 

 mias are equally promising. 



Various Notes. 



Welch Bros, are making their usual 

 extensive preparations for Memorial day 

 and will handle an immense quantity of 

 flowers. 



Thomas Pegler, salesman for O. L. 

 Dorr and S. J. Goddard at the Park 

 street market, May 14 had the misfor- 

 tune to fall on Tremont street and break 

 a bone in his left ankle, and will need 

 crutches for a few weeks. 



Galvin had an attractive window of 

 orchids the past week, which in- 

 cluded Dendrobium thyrsiflorum, Cattleya 

 Mossise, C. Skinneri and C. gigas. 



Peonies are very promising at present 

 and a grand display will be forthcoming 



for the meeting of the American Peony 

 Society. The officinalis varieties look 

 as though they would be in season for 

 Memorial day. 



H. F. DeOraaf, the bulb specialist, was 

 a visitor the past week. 



Oscar L. Dorr, as usual, is last in the 

 market with double violets. Thomas 

 Pegler has been receiving 10,000 to 

 12,000 daily from him at the Park street 

 market. 



J. S. Manter continues to handle es- 

 pecially fine Chatenay roses for Exeter 

 Rose Conservatories. 



N. F. McCarthy has just completed a 

 section of a new rose house at Montrose 

 Greenhouses, 54x300. It will eventually 

 be increased to 1,000 feet in length.

ST. LOUIS. 



The Market 



Business among the retailers did not 

 show much improvement the past week. 

 The first part of the week was fairly 

 busy, but after that it again lapsed into 

 summer dullness. 



There is an abundance of cut stock, 

 the bulk of the stock being of extremely 

 poor quality. The really first-class stock 

 sells well and always is in demand. 



In American Beauties there is a great 

 demand for long, while shorts over- 



stocked the market. The same may be 

 said of other roses. Some good La De- 

 troit and Chatenay are in. 



The carnation consignments are large 

 and good stock is seen. Prices again are 

 down to $1 per hundred for good stock. 

 Extra fancy goes a notch higher. The 

 best varieties now are Enchantress, 

 Robert Craig, Nelson Fisher and Boston 

 Market, 



Sweet peas are not so plentiful. The 

 dry spell will shorten the usual large 

 crop this season. Outdoor stock is suf- 

 fering for the want of rain. Peonies 

 and cape jasmine are selling well. 



Replanting has begun and this will put 

 a stop to the great quantities of roses 

 coming in. 



Plant dealers report a big week. 



Various Notes. 



August Eggert, on the east side, is 

 building a large rose house for Richmond 

 and Bridesmaid. 



The Ellison Floral Co. has given up 

 the down-town branch in the Simmons 

 Hardware Co. store. It will by fall 

 be in the new store a few doors west 

 of Taylor avenue on Olive street. 



George Windier, whose place is on De- 

 lore avenue, has been very sick the past 

 week. His many friends in the trade 

 hope to see him c^-^n in lod health. 



Burglars broke . -'oung & Sons'
