These window rugs come in all the 

 flower and foliage colors and are an 

 improvement on Porto Rican mats. 



This week M. Rice & Co. started to 

 install a new electric elevator at their 

 place. 



Frank Gaul, manager of the Century 

 Flower Shop, has so far recovered as 

 to be out. He has received visits from 

 many of his friends. Speaking of the 

 flowers sent to him during his illness, 

 Mr. Gaul said he had never before 

 realized how much pleasure they could 

 give. 



E. D. Massey, of Reading, Pa., was 

 in this city a few days ago. 



Thos. B. Candy, of Langhorne, Pa., 

 is one of the shippers of the S. S. Pen- 

 nock-Meehan Co., sending in fine Brides 

 and Maids. 



The committee in charge of the finan- 

 cial arrangements for the S. A. F. con- 



vention in August met in the library of 

 Horticultural hall last Tuesday evening. 



J. Otto Thilow, secretary of the 

 Henry A. Dreer Co., read an able paper 

 on ' ' The Organization and Equipment 

 of a Modern Horticultural Establish- 

 ment" before the Florists' Club last 

 Tuesday evening. This paper will be 

 found elsewhere in this number. 



The Leo Niessen Co. is having a good 

 demand for Cattleya Mossise. 



The funeral of H. B. Curran, of the 

 firm of Castner, Curran & Bullitt, on 

 Monday created an active demand for 

 choice flowers, branch offices of the 

 Pocahontas smokeless coal sending orders 

 to this city for floral tributes. 



It is said that M. Rice almost had 

 trouble with the German authorities over 

 a cartridge hidden in a candy box in his 

 possession on the steamer. 



William Kleinheinz, of Lynwood Hall, 



objects to the statement in this column 

 that after an automobile accident in 

 Washington recently he was taken to his 

 hotel in a red devil, unless it be coupled 

 with the statement that Phil was sent 

 back to his hotel in a trolley car. 



Joseph Swearer, of Holland, Pa., is 

 cutting nice Brides, Maids and Aspara- 

 gus plumosus. 



A letter addressed to "Mr. Edward 

 Reid, gardener," proved the writer to 

 be a good Review man. 



Berger Bros, are enjoying an active 

 market. 



It is a pleasure to record that Ralph 

 G. Faust, treasurer of the S. S. Pennock- 

 Meehan Co., is back at his post after a 

 long illness. 



I should have called Robert Scott & 

 Son's new rose Mrs. Jardine, not Mrs. 

 Gardine, as incorrectly given by me last 

 week. Phil. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



Cut flower trade has been only fair. 

 Weather conditions were unfavorable, 

 making it hard on the growers, retailers 

 and wholesalers. A great deal of funeral 

 work helped out greatly with the store 

 men. The greenhouse men feel gloomy 

 over the weather, as little planting out 

 could be done. At the wholesale houses 

 we find the usual scarcity in carnations, 

 with prices away up on all varieties. 

 White had a great demand, with 4 cents 

 about the average price. Lawson and 

 Enchantress were also in demand, only 

 few reds coming in. 



In roses there is a different story to 

 tell, as there is an actual glut of them 

 in the market, and extra good stock at 

 that, with plenty of extra fine long 

 Americair Beauties, which went begging 

 all week. Bride, Maid, Chatenay, Rich- 

 mond and Perle are many more than the 

 demand calls for, and shorts sold as low 

 as $5 per thousand. 



Callas and Harrisii, too, are plentiful 

 and cheap; also lily of the valley has 

 gone down a cent or two in price. The 

 quality is fine. Sweet peas are becoming 

 more plentiful, with a good demand for 

 pink and white. Fancy ferns have gone
