meeting Messrs. Ude, Jr., and F. M. 

 Ellis will lead discussions. 



Various Note*. 



J. F. Ammann will have a grand open- 

 ing of his new store at EdwardsviUe 

 this week. He has the best wishes ot 

 all the local florists in his new venture. 



At the next meeting of the Board of 

 Public Improvements, Park Commis- 

 sioner Aull will ask for an appropriation 

 of $125,000 to improve the greenhouses 

 and lawns in Forest park. The houses 

 are too small to grow the thousands of 

 plants used in the parks of the city. 



Max Herzog and his wife are travel- 

 ing in Cuba. 



Mrs. Wm. Ellison, of the Ellison Floral 

 Co., spent a few days in Chicago the 

 past week. 



Henry Johan, of CoUinsville, was over 

 Thursday to attend the club meeting. 



His right arm was broken a week ago. 

 He says he has good times now visit- 

 ing the different growers. 



Henry Ostertag left Saturday night 

 for a week's hunting trip up north and 

 exDCcts to bag a big lot of ducks. 



Nick Himmer, at Meramec Highlands, 

 will build five new houses this summer, 

 for carnations and violets. 



We read with regret of the death of 

 I'erry Finn, the Carthage florist. Mr. 

 Finn was well known among the trade 

 here. His carnation, Carthage, is a good 

 one and should bring a good revenue to 

 those he leaves behind, a wife and son. 



Bowling. 



The bowling club celebrated a double 

 victory the past week. On Monday they 

 beat the Juniors two games, giving them 

 100 pins to the game, and on Friday 

 they won two games from the strong 

 Enterprise team. The scores of the

The Market. 



One might have found something more 

 exciting than the cut flower business has 

 been the past week. There is a lot of 

 everything; in fact, much more of some 

 things than there is any demand for. 

 Tlie street stands had some very nice 

 cHrnations marked 25 cents per dozen, 

 which gives some idea where the i)rice 

 on that kind of stock has fallen to. Vio- 

 lets are cheap enough for the peduiers, 

 some good stock being sold as low as $3 

 per thousand. Eoses hold fairly wea, 

 but almost everything else is down to 

 tiie bottom in price. However, the re- 

 ports are that just a little more busi- 

 ness is being done than the correspond- 

 ing week last year, so there should be 

 ikT complaint and the fact that it is the 

 Lenten season covers it all.
