ST. LOUIS. 



The Market 



The market conditions were satisfac- 

 tory last week. The retail trade, too, 

 was good all over the city. Some of the 

 large establishments say it was surpris- 

 ingly large in all kinds of work. Among 

 the downtown florists prices are low. 

 Some claim they are disposing of some 

 4,000 or 5,000 carnations every day. 

 Those located in the central part and 

 west end are also using large amounts of 

 stock each day and at much better prices. 

 One of the features of the market last 

 week was that roses were more plentiful 

 in all varieties, and the wholesalers re- 

 port that from now on until after Easter 

 they look for a large supply in almost 

 everything. Prices are not so high on 

 roses and carnations as they have been, 

 only the extra select being up in price. 



Carnations are plentiful in all grades 

 at all commission houses and the demand 

 is large. Violets were not so many Mon- 

 day morning. It may be that the grow- 



ers are holding them back for Easter. 

 Bulbous stock is in large supply and of 

 the finest quality. Callas and lily of the 

 valley are too many at present. Dutch 

 hyacinths are selling well, also Von Sion 

 and tulips. Harrisii and longiflorum are 

 scarce at present. More are looked for 

 by next week. Smilax has a good call, 

 also all other greens. 



Vixioiu Notet. 



S. S. Skidelsky, of Philadelphia, vis- 

 ited Edwardsville and Belleville last 

 week, calling on the trade at those places. 



Pierre Schneider, head man for the 

 Oakland Floral Co., at East Kirkwood, 

 reports that the company will put up a 

 number of new houses for roses this 

 spring. They made a grand success of 

 carnations this, their first year. 



The Foster Floral Co. will move, April 

 ], from its present quarters to 612 Olive 

 street. The new location years ago was 

 occupied by the Jordan Floral Co. 



Frank Fillmore reports that he will 

 give up growing roses after this year, as 



the surroundings are not adapted to suc- 

 cessful rose growing. The big house will 

 be put into carnations, as these are doing 

 nicely in all the other houses. The grow- 

 ing of market plants will also be don© 

 away with. His retail store, a few 

 blocks away, is now doing a nice cut 

 flower trade. 



Beyer Bros, have a fine lot of blooming 

 plants for Easter. Their bulb stock is 

 grand. 



F. Meinhardt, father of Fred H. Mein- 

 hardt, has been very ill but is much im- 

 proved. 



Judging from the stock shown by our 

 local growers at the spring flower show 

 held last week, the local buyers will have 

 a fine lot of blooming plants for Easter 

 sales. 



The Florists' Club meeting for this 

 week Thursday afternoon should be well 

 attended. A great amount of business 

 is to be transacted. 



George Waldbart's place is somewhat 

 blocked up, owing to a large building 

 being erected at the corner. But Mr.
