Sprengeri and has planted the stock in 

 wire baskets. He will add adiantum to 

 his list of greens for next year. 



The Butler Floral Co. has moved two 

 doors south to 297 Dearborn street, 

 where a much larger store was available, 

 facing on two streets. One end is used 

 for the typewriter business, the other for 

 the flower store. Mr. Jahn may be just 

 a bit unique, but nevertheless there is 

 always something doing wherever he 

 spends his time. 



Louis Winkelman, one of Bassett & 

 Washburn's city force, and Miss Boyer, 

 daughter of a Hinsdale coal man, were 

 married yesterday. 



The Poehlmann Bros. Co, has large 

 daily supplies of valley, one of the most 

 salable items on the list at present. 



Word has been received from E. C 

 Struvy that he has reached his old stamp- 

 ing ground at San Jose, Cal. 



E. E. Pieser, of the Kennicott Bros. 

 Co., says that reports from Sarcoxie in- 

 dicate that late frost has blighted many 

 peony buds and that the crop will not be 

 heavy and quality not up to the best of 

 past years. The first Early Rose from 

 Sarcoxie arrived May 7. 



R. E. Kennicott, of Carbondale, is 

 shipping Old Red and Early Rose peonies 

 in considerable quantity. There is slight 

 prospect of local peonies arriving for 

 Decoration day. 



John Zech says that carnation crops 

 have shortened materially and that he 

 looks for an early reduction in rose cuts. 

 He sees no prospect of heavy supplies of 

 roses for Decoration day. 



Robert Newcomb, formerly of Des 

 Moines, is handling the rush for spring 

 plants and seeds at the Chicago Rose 

 Co. 



Martha Gundeburg will in the future 

 represent the Guardian Angel Orphan 

 Asylum greenhouses on the floor of the 

 Flower Growers' market. She was for- 

 merly buyer for J. Bombenger. 



The E. F. Winterson Co. has a very 

 popular novelty in a staple shaped like 

 a hair pin, very useful in attaching ferns 

 to the moss in funeral designs and for 

 many other similar purposes. The wire 

 is light and pliable and colored green. 

 A few cents buys a pound, and a pound 

 would take a week to count. Practically 

 every retail store has a box of them.

Cleveland, O. — The Gasser Co., in- 

 stead of jobbing, off a surplus of roses 

 May 4, turned over 6,000 flowers to the 

 press, which distributed them to the peo- 

 ple in the poorer sections of the city. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



Cut flower trade continues very dull. 

 To say the glut continues would be put- 

 ting it mildly. All the commission 

 houses were loaded down all last week 

 and more stock went to waste than to 

 customers. The weather was too warm, 

 more like July than May. This brought 

 the crop out very rapidly. In many lines 

 the stock runs poor and roses are gen- 

 erally soft and off in color. 



Funeral work is all that is being done 

 by the retail stores. The services for 

 Corwin H. Spencer, first vice-president of 

 the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Co., 

 called for an extra amount of work last 

 Saturday. Beauties especially had a big 

 call for this funeral. A number had or- 

 ders from outside the city. 



Monday a large amount of stock was 

 still coming in and going at prices as 

 low as last week. One of the down-town
