 Nashville, Tenn., is in charge of the 

 Nanz Floral Co.'s greenhouses, instead

 firm is preparing to put thousands of the

ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



Trade has held up pretty well, but 

 from now on the season is practically 

 settled and the away-up society folks 

 are leaving the city to escape the hot 

 summer months, so there will be nothing 

 from them until next fall and things will 

 be rather dull with the uptown florists. 

 The downtown retailers have a Uttle 

 more chance from transient trade, which 

 is practically unknown uptown. A num- 

 ber of good funeral designs were made 

 up last week and these, with the end 

 of the school closings, made a good, 

 profitable ending of the season. 



The wholesalers are still overstocked 

 with cut flowers of all kinds, and es- 

 pecially so with sweet peas, which have 

 been and are yet a great glut, selling in 

 large lots at from 50 cents to $1 per 

 thousand. Roses, too, have been over- 

 abundant, but not in the extra fancy 

 grades. White carnations had a good 

 call all last week, but the colored stock 

 went begging and mostly was dumped. 

 Candidum lilies came in heavily, but 

 cleaned up well for funeral work. Ldly 

 of the valley is still good, but slow sale. 

 Outdoor stock is now coming in rapidly, 

 but the demand is not good. 



Fancy ferns are again in the market, 

 to take the place of the dagger ferns. 



Beginning July 1 the wholesale houses 

 will close at 5 p. m. for two months. 



Various Notes. 



J. J. Nussbaumer, of San Angelo, 

 Tex., in company with C. A. Kuehn, vis- 

 ited Fred Ammann's place, at Edwards- 

 ville, last week. 



Wm. Young reports that the C. Young 

 & Song Co. employees have organized a 

 baseball team and will play a game 

 against the wholesalers at the club pic- 

 nic July 25. 



John Connon is busy at his Webster 

 Groves place, wrecking two of his large 

 houses to make room for the Webster 

 post-oflfice. These will be rebuilt at once 

 nwrar the e«nter of the grounds. Mr. 

 Connon had a good season in his retail 

 department and also on stock consigned. 



C. DeWever, who is now with James 

 W. Dunford, at Clayton, was a caller
