ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



Trade among the retailers was only 

 fair last week and they are not looking 

 for much for the next two months. 

 Funeral work and a few odds and ends 

 of other work will be all that the flor- 

 ists will get during that time. The 

 wholesalers have been up against it the 

 last week or two for fancy stock in 

 roses, for which the trade is craving. 

 There are plenty of the other grades in 

 all varieties, from which they have had 

 to fill their orders. 



Carnations are still good, considering 

 the warm days we have been having of 

 late. White is in excellent demand. Col- 

 ored stock does not fare so well at this 

 time of the year. 



Sweet peaa are so plentiful that ever 

 so many have to be dumped. The best 

 did not bring over 10 cents per hundred 



and they were cheaper in thousand lots. 

 All the wholesalers are loaded down with 

 them. Some extra good spikes of gladioli 

 are coming in, which are selling fairly 

 well. There are no peonies in the market 

 at present. 



Lily of the valley is still coming in 

 well, with light demand. Among the 

 outdoor stock that is coming in are 

 daisies, cornflowers and candytuft. These 

 do not sell well. There is plenty of 

 good smilax. Asparagus plumosus and 

 Sprengeri; also fancy ferns. 



Nearly all the retailers will close up 

 Thursday, July 4 — one holiday that 

 brings nothing to our business. 



The Floristi' Qub Smoker. 



The celebration of the club's twentieth 

 anniversary at a smoker given by the 

 members was largely attended June 29. 

 Before 9 o 'clock fully seventy-five were 

 in attendance, including a number of 

 old-timers who were at the first meeting 



of the club. These were Luther Arm- 

 strong, J. S. "Wilson, E. W. Guy and S. 

 Kehrmann. It was regretted that more 

 of these did not come. Chairman Smith 

 and Frank Weber were on hand early to 

 welcome the members as they came in. 

 Our suburban members came out' in full 

 force. At 9 o 'clock Chairman Smith 

 called upon J. J. Beneke to take the 

 chair and open the evening's entertain- 

 ment. 



The first speaker called was President 

 Irish, who welcomed the members, and 

 after some well chosen remarks, expressed 

 the hope that all of the company would 

 make themselves at home, since they 

 were here for a good time, which some 

 of the younger generation would enjoy 

 twenty years hence. 



In response to this the chairman called 

 on Luther Armstrong, the first secretary 

 of the club twenty years ago. Mr. Arm- 

 strong's remarks were confined to the 

 early day florist and how the club was
