pect the glut of violets to continue long 

 and ss^y prices now are no lower than a 

 year ago. 



The mother of the Wietor brothers 

 celebrated her seventy-fifth birthday an- 

 niversary February 25. She is still 

 strong and full of pride in her "boys." 



The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. now has 

 its new store in shape, resplendent in its 

 several coats of white paint. 



C. M. Dickinson, at E. H. Hunt 's, says 

 if the call for Easter supplies indicates 

 what the cut flower demand will be, we 

 have our biggest holiday almost in sight. 



Boses are still moving briskly at Zech 

 & Mann's, but carnations go a little slow. 

 Shipping is good with them. 



Sinner Bros, are just finishing setting 

 a Sterling water tube boiler of 100 horse- 

 power, equipped with a Martin rocking 

 grate. 



George S. Wood, who served many 

 years as press agent for the Chicago 

 flower show, was one of the passengers on 

 the Pennsylvania's flyer that went into 

 the Conemaugh river February 22. He 

 escaped with a few bruises. 



S. S. Skidelsky, Philadelphia, was a 

 visitor this week. 



The Foley Mfg. Co. has certified to an 

 increase in its capital stock from $25,000 

 to $100,000. 



Helena, Mont. — Charles O. Horn and 

 Miss Efl5e Wood were married February 

 21. The bridegroom is 30 years of age 

 and has been in the florists' business for 

 sixteen years. The bride, a popular 

 young lady, has lived in Helena for a 

 number of years. A reception and dance 

 at Germania hall followed the ceremony. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Market 



Business is holding up fairly well, as 

 there is always something doing at the 

 large establishments. Weddings and 

 parties are scarce just now, but work for 

 funerals kept up pretty well all of last 

 week. In the downtown district they had 

 a violet war last week, trying to corner 

 the market by buying up all the violets 

 at the different wholesale houses. In the 

 residence districts the florists are not 

 complaining much and say trade is much 

 better than expected during Lent. 



The expected glut in roses has failed 

 to come. Only a few of any of the 

 standard varieties are coming in, so 

 prices on these remain firm. Carnations 

 have dropped a few points. Enchantress 

 is diflScult to dispose of, as there are 

 many more of this variety than any 

 other. Lawson, Nelson Fisher and Boun- 

 tiful are fine in quality and plentiful. 



Violets, too, have dropped in price. 

 Extra fancy bring only 40 cents now and 

 $3 in thousand lots. Sweet peas are 

 coming in more plentifully and some 

 extra fine pink and white with long 

 stems are in the market. Plenty of 

 bulbous stock is in now, Dutch hyacinths, 

 Von Sions, tulips, Eomans and lily of 

 the valley. Paper Whites are scarce. 

 There are few lilies at present, more 

 callas than Harrisii. 



Shipping trade among the wholesalers 

 is reported not so good at present. 



Variouf Note*. 



George M. Kellogg, of Pleasant Hill, 

 Mo., called Friday of last week on his 

 way to Hot Springs, Ark., with a party 



of friends. Mr. Kellogg called for a 

 copy of the Eeview and said, "That's 

 one thing I have to have each week." 



Alex Johnson will this spring build a 

 large store and showhouse at the corner 

 of Easton and Wellston streets. Mr. 

 Johnson has fully recovered from his re- 

 cent illness. 



The St. Louis Horticultural Society 

 held its regular monthly meeting Feb- 

 ruary 19 at the Hamilton hotel, elected 

 nineteen new members and revised the 

 premium list for the spring show, which 

 is to be held the first week in March in 

 the Masonic temple, on Grand avenue. 

 The list is now in the hands of the 

 printer. There will be no charge for ad- 

 mission. It will be a society affair, ap- 

 pealing to our best people, and will be 

 open from 9:30 a. m. to 10 p. m. Presi- 

 dent Harry Young says everything is in 

 readiness for the show and looks for a 

 large attendance. The list of prizes 

 amounts to over $300, with a great many 

 entries already in. Those wishing copies 

 of the list should address Secretary Otto 

 G. Koenig. 



The Florists' Club's flower show com- 

 mittee met at the Eozier hotel February 

 20, and decided to return to the many 

 subscribers their subscriptions they so 

 kindly gave, with a letter explaining why 

 they were returned. Their final report 

 will be made at the next meeting of the 

 club, March 14. 



There are three vacancies for scholar- 

 ships at the Missouri Botanic Garden. 

 One is to be filled by the Missouri Horti- 

 cultural Society and two by the trustees 

 of the garden. Any one knowing a young 

 man wishing a scholarship should make 

 it known to the trustees. Another va-
