ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



It is many months since prices were 

 as low on roses, carnations, callas and 

 other stock as they were the past week. 

 The extremely warm weather toward the 

 end of the week was hard on the grow- 

 ers. This rushed the crop at a rapid 

 '. rate, and even if business had been good 

 I all the cut could not have been dis- 

 posed of. 



Bulbous stock is not nearly so plenti- 

 ful. Valley is holding its own as to 

 price and demand. Lilies are too many, 

 especially callas. A lot of 400 was sold 

 the past week at $16. There is no set- 

 tled price on any of the stock in large 

 lots. 



Brides, Maids and Beauties are in 



; great abundance at all the wholesale 



I houses. All the choice stock is sold to 



' the up-town florists at a fair price and 



the other grades are disposed of among 



i tlic down-town florists, who at present 



are having a war of cheap prices. Lilac 



has been coming from the south, and 



sold well at first. Violets are over for 



this season. 



1 The plantsmen all report a busy week, 



I and will start bedding this week, with 



j plenty of orders ahead to keep them 



I bu.sy the whole month of May and part 



of June. 



All the help in the retail seed houses 

 is working overtime. The mail order de- 

 mand is especially heavy. 



Various Notes. 



Charles Ford, who represents A. Herr- 

 mann, New York, spent two days with 

 the trade the past week.
