many had to use pumps and pails. The 

 river is rising, but we have no fear of 

 floods. 



The Ferneiy, on N. Charies street, has 

 an attractive window display of various 

 kinds of seasonable flowers. 



Many private gardeners were at the 

 different seedhouses securing early seeds 

 for their hotbeds last week. 



C. B. Hoffman, Arlington, Md., pur- 

 chased from B. R. Clark about two weeks 

 ago his range of greenhouses including 

 stock. Fire broke out at 3:15 a. m. in 

 one of the houses which threatened de- 

 struction of the entire range. Much dif- 

 ficulty was experienced in sending in an 

 alarm. The severe weather we have 

 had put some of the county alarm boxes 

 out of commission and the telephone 

 had to be used to notify the fire de- 

 partment. His smilax house suffered 

 the most. About $200 damage was 

 done. Messrs. Olers and C. Gregorius 

 were on hand and did splendid work. 

 After the fire was out they helped to 

 make the necessary repairs to keep the 

 houses from freezing. Mr. Olers' houses 

 being close to Mr. Hoffman's, were in 

 danger, but hard work saved them. 



The ladies' night at the Gardeners' 

 Club is being pushed in every way to 

 make it a success. The banquet will be 

 the most up-to-date yet held, and all the 

 delicacies of the season will be served. 

 Music will be one feature. A number 

 of out-of-town guests will be there. The 

 date set is February 11. J. L. T. 



Uebana, III. — E. S. Dodson will build 

 a greenhouse and will conduct it in con- 

 nection with his nursery business. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



Trade last week was really encourag- 

 ing, though cut stock was scarce and 

 prices had been up for several weeks, 

 especially on fancy roses, and, of course, 

 this kept prices firm in all grades. The 

 commission men report a good shipping 

 trade, which shows that the shortage 

 must be general. The retailers all re- 

 port a good general trade in all lines 

 last week. Quite a number of good fu- 

 neral orders were made up. Saturday was 

 ground-hog day, and, as the sun was 

 shining brightly all day, the growers 

 will have their troubles for six weeks 

 more, as today, Monday, we are having 

 our first real touch of winter weather. 

 The ground is covered with snow, and it 

 is very cold. 



At the commission houses everything 

 in the rose line is scarce and away up in 

 price. Carnations are helping out, as 

 quite a good many are coming in. Then 

 the demand is heavy and a large con- 

 signment does not last long. Violets 

 have shortened up. What are coming in 

 are of good quality. Bulbous stock is 

 plentiful and selling well. Ferns are 

 up to $2.50 per thousand this week. 



Various Notes. 



R. W. Eastlick, representing the Bom-

 heavy orders for bulbs and seeds and ad- 

 vance orders for green and holly. B

 good week's business here.
