Meatlon The Review when yon write. 



A. This cannot be accounted for in 

 any way except the tendency of sweet 

 peas to lose their first set buds, as do 

 some other plants when in a too vigorous 

 condition of growth. It may be induced 

 largely by the dark, cold weather of the 

 last few weeks; another cause is over- 

 feeding at this stage. Phil. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



The market was active last week and 

 the retailers enjoyed a splendid trade 

 in furnishing bouquets and decorations 

 for weddings and commencements. Cu- 

 pid has been busy all this month and 

 whenever this chap is busy the florists 

 are happy. Some of the stores also re- 

 ported a good lot of funeral work. 



The market was well supplied with 

 everything. The only scarcity was in 

 the fancy grades of roses. Of lower 

 grades of roses the market has an over- 

 ' supply. ISLllarney sells well when fancy. 

 Carnations, too, were in oversupply. 

 White has been selling better than col- 

 ored stock. Sweet peas have also come 

 down in price, as the market is becoming 

 glutted with them. Lily of the valley is 

 having a good call. Candidum lilies are 

 now in and sell well. Outdoor stuff is 

 not bringing much. Both fancy and com- 

 mon ferns are plentiful, as is smilax and 

 other greens. 



Club Meeting. 



The meeting of the Florists' Club 

 June 13 was largely attended, by grow- 

 ers, retailers and wholesalers. Great in- 

 terest has been taken of late in the 

 club's social affairs and its discussions, 

 there being no less than fifteen impor- 

 tant queries which came up for debate 

 at this meeting. The question box has 

 become one of the features of the meet- 

 ings. 



The trustees reported that all arrange- 

 ments have been completed for the twen- 

 tieth anniversary celebration June 29. 

 They also reported that the annual pic- 

 nic will be held at Bamonia park July 

 25, the same place as last year. 



Conard Bergstermann was elected to 

 membership and Adolph Brix made ap- 

 plication. State Vice-president W. C. 

 Young, of the S. A. F., addressed the 

 members regarding the attendance at 

 the coming convention at Philadelphia. 

 W. A. Hastings, of North Cambridge, 

 Mass., was present and gave the mem- 

 bers a short talk. 



The discussion on fumigation was 

 again taken up and several of the mem- 

 bers related their experience since the 

 last meeting and a great deal of knowl- 

 edge was obtained from the remarks of 

 Messrs. Ammann, Fulgrafe, Wm. Young,
