back with him some novelties of excep- 

 tional merit that will make a stir in this 

 country. 



Thaddeus N. Yates & Co. grew twice 

 as many Easter plants as last year and 

 cleared them all out before Easter in 

 good style. Lilies and spiraeas sold best. 

 Eight empty houses have been refilled 

 with bedding plants. There are 25,000 

 geraniums, 12,000 cannas, with coleus, 

 sage and others in smaller numbers. 



Edward Towill has received the 

 Michell cup, won at Washington. It is 

 appropriately engraved and will be high- 

 ly prized in the Towill family. 



Paul J. Klingsporn says his brother, 

 William, is twice as big a man as he. 

 Possibly, but not twice as good, surely. 



Phil. 



Concord, N. H.— The firm of F. A. 

 Main & Co. has dissolved, Mr. Main re- 

 tiring. C. H. Barrett will continue the 

 business at the old stand, at 28 Pleas- 

 ant street. 



Denver, Colo.— The Goeschl & Wood 

 Floral Co. is a new incorporation with 

 a capital of $10,000. Mary W. Goeschl 

 and B. M. Wood are the incorporators. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



Trade since Easter has not been any 

 too good, although there always is some- 

 thing doing, but not enough to keep us 

 all busy. Quite a few weddings, recep- 

 tions and dinners are on for this week, 

 and those who are fortunate enough to 

 have the orders will be likely to put 

 in a busy week with both plant decora- 

 tions and cut flowers. 



Stock at the wholesale houses Monday 

 was still as plentiful as the week pre- 

 vious. Roses, especially, are much in 

 oversupply in all. grades and varieties. 

 Beauties are selling cheap, extra long 

 specials as low as $2 to $3 per dozen. 

 The stock in Richmond, Ivory, Killar- 

 ney. Bride and Maid is large, of good 

 quality, and to quote prices correctly is 

 a hard task. 



Carnations have also come down in 

 price in 1,000 lots. Plenty of these are 

 in the market, and unless sold cheap a 

 great many find their way to the dump. 

 The quality is fine, especially Nelson 

 Fisher, Enchantress, Lady Bountiful and 

 Prosperity. The average price in small 

 lots is $2. 



Violets are becoming scarce and are 

 practically over for this season. Ro- 

 mans, Paper Whites and freesias are 

 becoming scarce, but Dutch hyacinths, 

 tulips, valley and callas are still plenti- 

 ful. 



Sweet peas are none too many and 

 there is quite a demand for them. Com- 

 mon ferns are up in price; so is smilax. 

 Other greens are equal to all demands. 



VariotM Notes. 



Prof. William Trelease, of the Mis- 

 souri Botanic Garden, has returned from 

 the West Indies and brought quite a 

 number of new and valuable plants. 



Superintendent H. C. Irish, of the 

 Missouri Botanic Garden and president 

 of the Florists' Club, will deliver sev- 

 eral lectures for the ladies' society at 

 Webster Groves during this week. 



J. H. Denker, father of Edwin Den- 

 ker, was elected mayor of St. Charles, 

 Mo., last week. He reports a fine Easter 

 trade. 



The tulip beds at the different parks, 

 and especially at Shaw's Garden, are a 

 great attraction for the public. The 

 free advertising by the street cars has 

 brought out big crowds almost every
