Mention The Review when you write. 



Moulton rose in moderate quantity. It 

 is a most pleasing color, and as they 

 grow it the neck is strong. 



The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. reports 

 business fully up to production. 



The J. B. Deamud Co. reports some 

 l)ig orders for mums the latter part of 

 this week. 



W. W. Randall and wife were sur- 

 prised by a party of friends last Thurs- 

 ■day evening, the occasion being the wed- 

 ding anniversary that calls for tinware. 



Fred Strail seeks to be relieved from 

 his debts and has filed a petition in bank- 

 ruptcy, scheduling liabilities of $3,013 

 and assets of $600. 



J. P. Foley has been on the sick list 

 for a few days. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



Business was not so good as the week 

 ■previous; still it can not be called dull 

 by any means. Funeral work was not 

 so plentiful, but a good deal of social 

 work was reported with the uptown flor- 

 ists, while transient trade downtown was 

 brisk. For this week a number of large 

 weddings should keep the trade busy a 

 good part of the week. 



Chrysanthemums are finer every day, 

 as the midseason varieties gradually 

 take the place of the early bloomers. 

 Extra fine yellow and white have the 

 call. Pink varieties are dragging. Prices 

 are holding up well. Strange to say, 

 the mums have not yet crowded the mar- 

 ket on other stock, as they usually do at 

 this time of the year. Roses are holding 

 their own so far. Fancv stock in Bride 



Maid, Richmond, Carnot and Ivory is 

 still demanding a good price, but firsts, 

 and seconds are dragging. Carnations 

 are holding good prices in fancy grades. 

 These are selling up clean each day, es- 

 pecially so with Enchantress and any 

 variety in white and red. Nelson Fisher 

 is about the best pink. Lawson is poor 

 so far this season. Extra good valley is 

 scarce in this market. The small batch 

 of poor stock is hardly salable. Violets 

 are fine in color, but still too short- 

 stemmed. Only Californias are in the 

 market. Smilax is plentiful and so are 

 all other greens. 



Various Notes. 



Fred Ammann, of Edwardsville, spent 

 Thursday in St. Louis. Mr. Ammann is 

 sending Kuehn some well grown roses. 

 He will miss the club meeting this week, 

 as he will go up to Chicago to see the 

 big show. 



Among those who are reported in Chi- 

 cago this week are Harry Young, F. C. 

 Weber, O. G. Koenig, Theo. Miller and 

 Fred H. Meinhardt. A number of others 

 would like to have gone, but tne election 

 and the club meeting and chrysanthe- 

 mum exhibition required their presence 

 here. 



Henry Felter is reported to have a 

 fine lot of pot chrysanthemum plants, 

 also cut blooms which could be used for 

 exhibition. 



George Ostertag, superintendent of 

 parks, is having some new beds laid out 

 for fall bulb planting in City Hall park. 

 These beds attract a great deal of atten- 

 tion in early spring. 



Miss Newman, at Olive and Spring, 

 had tasteful window decorations last 



week. Miss Armstrong, her assistant, 

 lias recovered and is back in her posi- 

 tion. 



The Schoenle Floral Co., on the south 

 side, had a number of good-sized decora- 

 tions last week. When it comes to work 

 Mr. Schoenle is there with the best of 

 them. 



Eddie Gerlach, manager at Kuehn 's, 

 reports a busy week in all lines, mums 

 and carnations taking the lead in de- 

 mand. The wire department, too, was 

 kept busy making special designs for 

 both local and outside trade. 



James W. Dunford, at Gayton, is 

 sending in a fine lot of cut mums to 

 Bernings, which are much looked after 

 by the local trade. These should take 

 off some of the prizes at the club. 



Fred C. Weber's special conservatory 

 is ablaze with blooming plants. This is 

 one of the attractive spots for the fash- 

 ionable buyers in that section. 



Walter Sanders , who manages his 

 father's place on Delmar avenue, reports 

 a good trade and a fine stock of pot 

 chrysanthemums. Their nursery trade 

 was large this fall. 



George Angermueller handles a fine 

 supply of American Beauties and show 

 chrysanthemums. He says there is a big 

 demand for fancy carnations. 



Smith & Young, of Indianapolis, are 

 sending to Ellis a fine lot of Brides and 

 Maids. Steincke's carnations and 

 Gross's violets at this place have a big 

 demand. 



W. C. Smith & Co. had quite a run on 

 wild smilax last week, aJso on small 

 ferns and kentias, disposing of nearly a 

 carload to the local trade. 



It seems that bowling among the flor-
