The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



Dgcembeb 6, 1906. 



MEDIUM AND SHORT 



Buyers whose trade does not call for extra long, select stock will please remember that no matter how high a grower's 

 average quality may be, a certain part of the cut is bound to be medium to short. Our reputation for producing the 

 best stock in the West is so well established that buyers naturally come to us for Fancy, but some forget that we are 

 equally well able to supply their less exacting needs; in fact, we have an especially attractive proposition for regular 

 buyers of medium grade stock. Write us about it.

houses until everything that looks like 

 a mum has been bought up, and many 

 orders have been placed for future de- 

 livery. 



Koses are still coming in large quanti- 

 ties, but with the mums out of the way 

 they will begin to sell as they ought to. 

 Already the better qualities have ad- 

 vanced sharply. Bed roses are not plen- 

 tiful and sell well. Carnations have in- 

 creased in numbers, but there are scarce- 

 ly enough to take care of the demand. 

 Some fine ones are beihg handled by the 

 wholesale houses. Violets continue to be 

 scarce, the demand for them much in ex- 

 cess of the supply. Single ones bring 

 the highest prices. 



It looks now as if we were in for a 

 spell of wintry weather. This being the 

 case, we can look for a shortening up 

 of all kinds of stock and a consequent 

 sharp raise in prices. 



Various Notes, 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Florists' Society will be held in the club 

 rooms, Saturday, December 8, at 8 p. m. 

 It is expected that there will be a large 

 number of the members present, as sev- 

 eral subjects of importance to the craft 

 will be brought up. 



Harry Mormon, who is with Julius 

 Bacr, sustained a painful injury while 

 putting up a decoration in a church. 

 While assisting in the moving of a heavy 

 object he strained his back. 



Frank Ball has rented a room on the 

 second floor at 31 East Third street and 

 will try his hand at making wire designs 

 for the trade. We wish him his full 

 share of success. 



E. Fulle, of Richmond, Ind., was a 



caller. He has been shipping some fine 

 yellow and white Eaton. C. J. Ohmer. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Market, 



Thanksgiving day and all of the week 

 trade was reported good by some; oth- 

 ers say it was not so good as they ex- 

 pected. Still, as a whole it can safely 

 be reported about the same as last year. 

 The weather was just right for the retail 

 trade. Some of the shippers to this 

 market resorted to the same old trick 

 of pickling stock, but these were set 

 aside for the last sales of the day and 

 did not bring much. SiDme growers will 

 never learn to ship stock as they have 

 it at this time of the year, as prices 

 were good all during the week. 



Stock at the wholesale houses is plen- 

 tiful in all grades. Chrysanthemums 

 are nearly at an end, and only a few 

 of the late varieties are coming in. The 

 demand for them at Thanksgiving was 

 large, but since then it has fallen off 

 considerably. The supply in roses is 

 heavy in the first and second grades. 

 Extra fancy always are in demand, and 

 these are limited. The same may be 

 said of Beauties. Carnations are in 

 heavy demand, and fine quality of stock 

 is coming in. Enchantress and Craig are 

 fine; so are Boston Market and Lady 

 Bountiful. Lawsons come brittle and 

 with short stems. California violets were 

 up to $1.50 per hundred last week, but 

 are down to half of that price this 

 week. Romans and Paper Whites are as 

 yet scarce. Some good stevia is obtain- 

 able, also extra fine lily of the valley. 



Common ferns are up to 20 cents per 

 hundred. Other greens same as usual. 

 Holly and green have made their ap- 

 pearance in the market, with price on 

 green away up. Downtown business 

 houses have started to decorate their 

 fronts. 



The plant trade is reported good and 

 some fine blooming stock is shown by the 

 up-town florists. Schray, Beyer, Sand- 

 ers, Jablonsky, Bentzen and others are 

 well stocked up. 



Variota Notes, 



Martin Reukauf, who represents H. 

 Bayersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia, is here 

 this week. 



Carew Sanders, who has been ill, is 

 much improved of late and will soon be 

 visiting his old friends. ' 



The officers of the Florists' Club held 

 another well attended meeting on No- 

 vember 27 and perfected plans to raise 

 the big flower show fund. Frank A. 

 Weber will make a full report at the 

 next club meeting. 



Miss M. S. Newman had a fine Thanks- 

 giving trade. Her window was prettily 

 decorated with extra fine chrysanthemum 

 blooms. 



Frank A. Weber, of H. J. Weber' & 

 Son's Nursery Co., will leave this week 

 for an eastern business trip, but expects 

 to be back in time for the club meeting. 



George Waldbart had a busy time of 

 it and reports the Thanksgiving business 

 better than last year. Everything sold 

 well. 



William C. Smith & Co., our new 

 wholesale firm, report a fine trade their 

 first week in business, their specialty 

 being extra fine California violets.
