now, Emil Buettner is still cutting 

 some splendid Brides and Maids. 



J. S Pekema, of Jensen & Dekema, 

 has gor^ to California for his health. 



The Foley Mfg. Co. reports that it 

 will be March 15 before the new factory 

 is fully ready. J. P. Foley says 1906 

 showed a satisfactory increase over 19U5, 

 but nothing compared to what they will 

 be able to do in 1907 with the new facil- 

 ities. 



W. H. Hilton is planning a trip to the 

 Pacific coast. 



The Dallas News, in a write-up of Col. 

 Green's greenhouses, says it will not be 

 long before Texas will be shipping Beau- 

 ties to the Chicago market, instead of 

 Chicago supplying Texas, as in the past. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Market 



The weather has been warm, with lit- 

 tle sun. Stock has been abundant, es- 

 pecially carnations and violets. There is 

 about the usual activity in funeral work 

 and some good decorations have been put 

 up for balls, but otherwise business is 

 considered dull. Shipping trade also has 

 Blacked up; still some say it is good cer- 

 tain days. 



There were quite a lot of fancy Beau- 

 ties which did not bring over $3 per 

 dozen last week. Other fancy roses are 

 scarce. Plenty of other grades are to be 

 had. Carnations are in heavy supply, 

 with values shrinking almost every day. 

 Violets are not so much a glut as they 

 were; still enough coming in to fully 

 supply the demand. There is an over- 

 supply of bulbous stock and prices have 

 gone down on all kinds. There are plenty 

 of greens. 



Qub Meeting. 



The Florists' Club held an interesting 

 and largely attended meeting January 

 10 in the new room in the Burlington 

 building, which is fitted up with every 

 convenience. Chairman Frank Weber, of 

 the flower show committee, being out of 

 the city, the secretary read the report 

 showing that only $2,540 had been sub- 

 scribed to the guarantee fund. A motion 

 was made to discontinue the flower show, 

 as the $10,000 guarantee fund had not 

 been subscribed. This was ruled out of

Emil Schray, J. F. Ammann and A. Ja- 

 blonsky, awarded it eighty-five points, 

 also saying that they find it apparently 

 a good commercial variety. 



The question, ' ' Do Flower Shows Help 

 the Eetail Business I" was answered by 

 several of our leading storemen. It 

 surely does help the trade in all branches.
