Nelson Fisher, Lady Bountiful and En- 

 chantress. Cardinal sells well. 



The run on bulb stock at the wholesale 

 houses has been good. Valley is plenti- 

 ful, and so are Von Sions and tulips. 

 Callas are well up in demand. Dutch 

 hyacinths sell well. Eomans, Paper 

 Whites and freesia are none too many. 



Extra fine quality of sweet peas are 

 to be had, also forced white lilac. In 

 greens everything one wants' is to be 

 had. 



Various Notes. 



E. W. Guy, of Belleville, has returned 

 from a visit to bis father, at St. James, 

 Mo. 



C. De Wever, who has been very sick 

 for the last three weeks, has fully recov- 

 ered. Mr. De Wever had a close call, 

 but his strong constitution pulled him 

 through. 



Walter Eetzer, late in the employ of 

 Mrs. M. M. Ayers, is now with the St. 

 Louis Seed Co. 



J. W. Dunford, at Clayton, is busy 

 shifting his stock of 15,000 geraniums 

 into 4-inch pots. He reports that he is 

 entirely sold out of pot lilies for Easter. 



C. A. Kuehn reports that the green 

 carnation fluid put up by the Manchester 

 Chemical Co. is selling well. 



S. S. Skidelsky, of Philadelphia, was 

 in town this week. 



Walter Weber and Frank Fillmore 

 paid a visit last week to their friends, 

 John Steidle, A. Jablonsky and James 

 Dunford, in the country. 



Miss Meyers, bookkeeper for George 

 Angermueller, says that the rumor report- 

 ing that she is to be married soon is a 

 bit too previous and says that a man of 



her choice must have 100,000 feet of 

 glass well filled with the choicest stock. 



W. C. Smith & Co. have received a 

 large shipment of florists' supplies from 

 Bayersdorfer, Philadelphia, including 

 good styles in wicker baskets. 



Charles Dauernheim, Jr., of Kimnls- 

 wick, Mo., is cutting a fine lot of extra 

 quality carnation blooms, which are con- 

 signed to Henry Berning. 



Oscar Huettmann must be busy these 

 Lenten days, from the amount of stock 

 he carries home each morning. 



Rude Windt, who has charge of his fa- 

 ther 's show houses, has a fine lot of 

 blooming plants and cut stock. Business 

 is all that could be expected during the 

 Lenten season. 



Fred Pope, on the south side, has had 

 a busy week in funeral orders. His 

 houses are well filled with Easter stock 

 of all kinds. 



Henry Ostertag, of Ostertag Bros., re- 

 ports the Orthwein wedding for Tuesday 

 one of the largest of the season. They 

 ordered a large shipment of orchids from 

 New York. This order will run close to 

 $1,000. 



From present prospects quite a lot of 

 glass will be added by several of the 

 Kirkwood growers this summer. Grow- 

 ers at this place have almost doubled 

 their business this season. They grow 

 little but violets and carnations. 



A. Berdan, of Kirkwood, is sending in 

 some extra fine lily of the valley and 

 other bulbous stock, 



John Burke, Fred Foster and Alex Sie- 

 gel tried to corner the market in violets 

 last Saturday and partly succeeded early 

 in the morning, but later too many came 



in, so the smaller buyers had theii share 

 as well. 



Monday morning the committee was 

 working hard in the banquet hall in the 

 Masonic Temple to have everything in 

 readiness for the Horticultural Society's 

 spring flower show, which opened March 

 4. I Complimentary tickets have been 

 sent broadcast to business men and soci- 

 ety folks. In this way it is expected to 

 enroll a large number of the more 

 wealthy class, who will, in the future, 

 pay for the holding of flower shows in 

 the fall. J. J. B.

The Market. 



Business last week was fairly good. 

 Nothing of great importance was on 

 hand, but enough trade to keep everyone 

 going steadily at this time of the year. 

 Funeral work has been the most called 

 for. Our growers have no trouble in 

 disposing of their cut blooms, as we have 

 had so vast an amount of funeral work; 

 in fact, any kind of flowers were salable 

 that could be used. 



We are having fine, bright sunshine 

 and roses and carnations are coming in 

 heavier, with a slight decrease in prices. 

 A large amount of bulbous stock is on 

 the market and can be had in any quan- 

 tity at reasonable prices. The Harrisii 

 stock looks unfavorable in some sections 

 and a short crop is feared. Sweet peas 

 are more regular, while violets are plen- 

 tiful, bringing 50 cents per hundred. 

 Greens are scarce and many order from 

 the north. The cost and expressage make 

 them expensive and there is not much 

 profit for the retailer.
