plants had suffered little if any injury 

 from the cold weather. 



Weiland •& Kisch already have planted 

 a good part of their Killarney for next 

 season. 



Last week's rains were especially wel- 

 come to the growers who have carnation 

 plants in the field. They served to give 

 them quite a good start. 



The E. G. Hill Co., Eichmond, Ind., is 

 sending among other stock consigned to 

 E. H. Hunt cut fronds of Nephrolepis 

 Piersoni, which the retailers find useful. 



Arthur Bryant, the pioneer nursery- 

 man and large grower of peonies, at 

 Princeton, 111., whose obituary was pub- 

 lished exclusively in last week's Re- 

 view, has shipped cut blooms of peonies 

 to the Kennicott Bros. Co. each spring 

 for many years. 



The George Wittbold Co. reports that 

 with the approach of Memorial day out- 

 door work took a great impetus and that 

 their large facilities for this class of 

 work now are taxed to the utmost. 



E. T. Wanzer, at Wheaton, is making 

 some substantial additions to his place. 

 A new office and workroom are being 

 added to the east end and a storage room 

 for coal underneath the new room. 



Johnson & Chronis, at Lake avenue and 

 Forty-seventh street, have increased their 

 facilities by the erection of three houses 

 20x50. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



Reports of the cut flower market are 

 still unsatisfactory, little going on ex- 

 cept funeral work. The wholesale houses 

 have been loaded down with cut stock 

 of all kinds and the retailers can get 

 any amount of good stock at low prices. 

 A few good orders were placed in ad- 

 vance for Decoration day. A number 

 of good sized June weddings are booked 

 for next week. Among the plantsmen 

 everything looks busy, as they at last 

 got seasonable weather to plant out their 

 many orders. 



There are plenty of roses of all kinds 

 to be had, but it is hard to find extra 

 fancy quality. The bulk of the stock 

 is showing the effects of the warm 

 weather and is badly mildewed. 



Carnations are of much better qual- 

 ity, with prices low in thousand lots. 

 Enchantress, Lady Bountiful, Lawson 

 and Cardinal are especially fine. Many 

 of these went to waste last week for 

 want of demand. 



Sweet peas are coming in plentifully 

 and will soon be a glut on the market. 

 The lighter shades are in better favor 

 than the other colors. 



There is plenty of good valley to be 

 had, also cape jasmine and peonies. 

 Fancy ferns are still scarce and the 

 common dagger fern is now in use for 

 design work. There is plenty of other 

 greens except bronze galax. 



Various Note*. 



Mr. Scheidegger, who is running the 

 old Pilcher plant at Kirkwood, was mar- 

 ried last week. 



A. Berdan, one of the oldest florists 

 in Kirkwood, is still enjoying the best 

 of health and is sending to this market 

 a fine lot of lily of the valley, of which 

 he makes a specialty. 



A. J. Bentzen, of the Bentzen Floral 

 Co., says they are up to their necks in 

 planting out, but with favorable weather 

 they will be able to finish up by June 10. 



Adolph Brix reports that his new 

 houses will be finished this week. They 

 were built by Robert Thompson, of this 

 city, and he is much pleased with the 

 work. 



Henry Braun has moved his family 

 to Kirkwood, where he will reside. He 

 is not at present following the florists' 

 business, but he can't keep out long. 

 Once a florist, always a florist. Time 

 will tell. 



E. W. Guy and wife, of Belleville, 

 111., passed through here on Friday eve- 

 ning on their way to St. James, Mo., 

 to attend the funeral of his father, T. 

 "W. Guy, an old and respected florist, 

 aged 76 years, who was formerly located 

 at Kimmswick, Mo., and who belonged 

 years ago to the old firm of North & 

 Guy, located at 614 Olive street, next 

 door to the old Jordan Floral Co. Mr. 

 Guy was at one time a prominent mem- 

 ber of the St. Louis Florists' Club and 

 no one had more friends than he in the 

 trade, who are with me in extending to 

 the bereaved family our sympathy. The 

 funeral took place Sunday afternoon.
