ed an entire page to Nellie C. Moore, 

 with a portrait of Miss Moore and a 

 picture showing her at work in the 

 greenhouses. It would have been com- 

 plete had it pictured her wholesaling her 

 cut at the Flower Growers' Market. 



Kroeschell Bros. Co., Chicago, report 

 a big increase in their sales of boilers 

 and say conditions are such that they 

 anticipate a much larger increase. They 

 have booked orders from all parts of the 

 country, including points as far west as 

 Washington and Idaho. 



I.iester Partridge, of Sharpe, Par- 

 tridge & Co., says that the demand for 

 greenhouse glass is entirely unprecedent- 

 ed. Sales have been heavy in car lots 

 and the market is steadily stiffening. 

 Mr. Partridge says that before the sea- 

 son is over jobbers will be paying a pre- 

 mium to get greenhouse glass to fill 

 orders. 



Among the week's visitors were Paul 

 Berkowitz, of Bayersdorf er 's, Philadel- 

 phia, who was accompanied by Mrs. 

 Berkowitz and who met here Martin Eeu- 

 kauf, of the same house; W. G. Mathi- 

 son, of the Dayton Floral Co., Dayton, 

 O. ; E. E. Petersen, Denver, buying ma- 

 terial for 1.5,000 feet of new glass; J. 

 A. Evans, Richmond, Ind. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



The past week about wound up the 

 weddings, receptions and dinners, as 

 Lent is here. The west end florists 

 were especially busy. The weather was 

 favorable for the decorators. The down- 

 town florists also had a good word to 

 say for business; the counter sales 



and funeral work kept them very busy 

 all the week. 



Extra fancy stock of all kinds has 

 been scarce, roses particularly so. Not 

 near enough came in for the demand and 

 prices were high for the grade of stock 

 that was obtainable. Long fancy Beau- 

 ties sold well. Plenty of short-stemmed 

 stock was on hand, but very poor. Car- 

 nations held up well and the market 

 had enough to fill all orders, both local 

 and shipping. Quality is very fine. 

 Lawson and Enchantress are in most de- 

 mand. 



Bulbous stock of every variety is in 

 the market, with daffodils, tulips and 

 Paper Whiter a drug. Dutch hyacinths 

 and valley are selling well. Harrisii 

 and callas are somewhat scarce. Violets 

 glutted the market last week, but sold 

 well at cheap prices. The bulk of them 

 were Californias. The market is well 

 supplied with greens. 



Various Notes, 



The growers are all busy, looking after 

 their Easter stock, and report lilies look- 

 ing well, with very little disease among 

 them. Messrs. Sanders, Windier, Schray, 

 Beyer and Jablonsky are well stocked 

 up. 



W. E. Burrows, of Pilcher & Bur- 

 rows, spent a few days at his old home 

 in Peoria. 



Fred Ammann, of Edwardsville, spent 

 a day in town the past week and re- 

 ports everything in first-class shape at 

 ins place. 



Fred Foster was in Louisiana, Mo., a 

 few days last week buying horses. lie 

 reports business good at his down-town 

 store. 



Henry Emmons, of Belleville, was in 



Peoria last week attending the funeral 

 of his brother. 



The Ellison Floral Co. had a busy 

 time last week, with no less than four 

 large receptions.

 streets and report a big tra<le in violets 

 and carnations. 



Prank Ellis writes that lie arrived safe 

 ill Panam.a and that he will return home 

 March 8. 



The Eggeling Floral Co. has opened 

 its new store at Delmar and Kings 

 Highway, and is making attractive dis- 

 jilays in the show windows. 



.lohn (Jonnon, of Webster Groves, 

 called last week and reports that the 

 date of his marriage to Miss Watson is 

 not yet set, but will let the boys know 

 in plenty of time. ,Tohn has a very sore 

 right hand, which is causing him nuich 

 trouble. 



^Ir. Haddecker, of Kirkwood, is send- 

 ing F. M. Ellis a big lot of extra fine 

 California violets. 



A. S. Halstead, president of the St. 

 Clair Floral Co., Belleville, is building a

 pied by Mr. and Mrs. Cestor Halstead.

 show window the past week, showing 

 fancy cut stock and blooming plants.

 now that their boiler is again in good 

 working order. They will have a fine 

 lot of blooming plants for Easter. 



Next Thursday afternoon the club's 

 big rose meeting will take place. The 

 exhibition will be large. The attend-

 last one when over half the member- 

 ship turned out. The trustees will bo on
