ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



Trade in the cut flower line has 

 I'icked lip greatly since my last report, 

 ;ind from the way the retailers scramble 

 lor stock at the wholesale houses every 

 "lorning, everybody must have had a 

 iiood deal of work on hand. 



The weather opened fine Monday morn- 

 'ig, the first spring-like day we have had 

 'or the last six weeks. A few good rains 

 ■re needed to put the ground in shape 

 ■or planting out, and for these our 

 .^rowers are waiting. 



The wholesalers again have the edge 

 ['n the retailers. Stock of all kinds has 

 "een scarce and prices have gone up a 

 'cw cents on roses and carnations, and 

 '>e way the trade hustled from one house 

 ^ the other for stock was a caution, 

 bargain signs among the downtown re- 

 tailers were not seen, as carnations were 

 Retailing at 75 cents and $1 per dozen. 

 J^he wholesalers have been cleaning up 

 almost every day in all lines except long 



Beauties, which have been quite plenti- 

 ful of late. The stock in roses that is 

 coming in seems to be of extra good 

 quality, especially those of Fred Am- 

 niann and Walter "Weber. Their Rich- 

 mond and Chatenay are hard to beat in 

 their present form. 



Carnations are in great demand and 

 anything that looks good is bought up. 

 Boston Market and Lady Bountiful are 

 fine, but so are Nelson Fisher and Law- 

 son, Few good reds are in. 



There is plenty of fine valley, also 

 callas. Next week cape jasmine from 

 Texas is expected. Good greens are plen- 

 tiful, except ferns. 



Various Notes. 



E. W. Guy, Henry Emunds and A. S. 

 Halstead, three of Belleville's leading 

 florists, spent a day in the city last week, 

 visiting the trade and buying supplies. 

 They all report a good trade since Eas- 

 ter, in design work, cut flowers and 

 plants. 



Edwin Denker, of St. Charles, Mo., and 

 A. C. Canfield, of Springfield, 111., v«- 



ited the wholesale houses and some of 

 the trade last week. 



Philip C. Scanlan has been appointed 

 park commissioner by Mayor Wells, suc- 

 ceeding Robert Aull, who has held the 

 oflice for four years. Mr. Sc.inlan will 

 have the power to appoint the superin- 

 tendent of parks, to succeed George Os- 

 tertag, the present incumbent. 



Trustee Smith has arranged to hold a 

 meeting of the trustees of the Florists' 

 Club sometime next week, to arrange de- 

 tails for the club's anniversary and re- 

 port at the May meeting of the club. 



It has been report^ that the fall 

 flower show, which will be given by the 

 St. Louis Horticultural Society, will be ' 

 held in the new exhibition building which 

 will be erected at Jefferson and Wash- 

 ington avenues, this to be the first event 

 given in the new hall, if the report is 

 correct. The success of the show finan- 

 cially is already assured. 



Carew Sanders, one of the oldest flo-* 

 rists in the city, now nearly 80 years old, 

 paine downtown last week to see old 

 friends. Mr. Sanders has been ill nearly
