E. H. Hunt's are showing the silver 

 cup won by the wholesalers at Sunday's 

 ball game". They had two men on the 

 team. The retailers already have asked 

 for a return match. 



Vaughan & Sperry say that next year 

 they will have more peonies. For a 

 month the peony is king of this market. 



E. F. Winterson Co. reports quite 

 satisfactory results with peonies. Two 

 late crops totaled 116,000 buds. All 

 had to be rebunched and it made a lot 

 of work. 



Jens Jensen, superintendent of the 

 west parks, has recommended John Al- 

 gots to succeed P. H. Bapp as super- 

 intendent of small parks, and he has a 

 temporary appointment. Mr. Algots was 

 formerly gardener for Mrs. Pullman, but 

 resigned about four years ago to go into 

 the hardware business. 



* * Please omit flowers ' is the funereal 

 message that once more has been sent 

 out by the board of education to the 

 principals of the public high schools 

 where commencement exercises are to be 

 held today and Friday. If flowers are 

 sent to "sweet girl graduates," they 

 must be sent to their homes. 



The Review has done more than I 

 can tell to help me to a working knowl- 

 edge of the flower business.— H. C.

ST. LOUIS. 



The Market 



The cut flower trade last week was 

 fairly busy in retail circles, with work 

 for the last of the school closings and 

 a few late weddings. This week we ex- 

 pect to see midsummer conditions fully 

 established among the retailers all over 

 the city. From reports around the 

 wholesale houses Monday morning there 

 was practically nothing going on, and 

 funeral work is about all that any of 

 us expect. 



The receipts of flowers at the whole- 

 sale houses have fallen off, especially 

 in first-class roses, and enough of the 

 others come in to supply the light de- 

 mand. With the exception of a few 

 special Beauties there is practically no 

 fixed value on roses. Ammann is still 

 sending some extra fine Ivory, which 

 find ready sale. 



There are still a fair lot of carna- 

 tions coming in, white and Enchantress. 

 Lawson is coming in poor, very much 

 off in color and ooesn 't bring over $1 

 per hundred. Sweet peas are many and 

 in all varieties, and are selling very low- 

 in large lots. Fancy long in lavender 

 and white find ready sale, while short 

 mixed colors are jobbed off cheap. Lily 

 of the valley is selling slowly. A few 



asters are coming in and sell well. 

 Other outdoor stock is slow. Fancy 

 ferns are scarce with a good demand. 



Variooi Notes. 



George Windier, who has been very 

 sick for the last six weeks, is out again 

 and his many friends in the trade are 

 pleased to see him. 



W. J. Pilcher has sold his place in 

 Kirkwood to August P. Schiedegger, 

 who was formerly employed by Venne- 

 man at Kirkwood. Mr. Schiedegger will 

 continue growing carnations, violets and 

 sweet peas for the local trade. 



C'. C. Sanders, Frank A. Weber and 

 •T. H. Schuette, our nurserymen who at- 

 tended the Dallas convention, returned 

 home Thursday morning much pleased 

 with their trip. What pleased them most 

 was the badger game, as played by Col. 

 S. E. Moss. Frank Weber was seen to 

 take notes of the game and it may be 

 that it will be played at the club's out- 

 ing next month. 



William Bouche, the landscape 

 gardener, has the Park View place on 

 Delmar in fine shape. The results show 

 Mr. Bouche to be one of the best men 

 in the city for that kind of work. 



E. W. Guy, of Belleville, was over 

 on Saturday buying a big lot of sweet 

 peas for a wedding order. 



Sam Erker, of Erker Bros., is build-
