Gentlimkn:— We have now used the 

 new show case which you installed for 

 us about six months ago. We can say it 

 is everything that you promised for it, 

 and that is "perfection." 



We don't know what else we could say 

 except the first case which you built for 

 UB about seven years ago helped materi- 

 ally to our success. Tour system is 

 certainly ideal for keeping flowers. 



The workmanship on this new case 

 could not be better. We have had people 

 say, "Why, that is more finely ftnlibed 

 than our piano." Yours truly, 



HoLu & Olson.

BUFFALO. 



The Market. 



Slow business seems to be the order 

 of the day with all note writers, so we 

 do not feel ashamed of our business at 

 home. Naturally, with people away from 

 home and everybody with garden flow- 

 ers, we can expect only small trade. 

 However, though trade is slow now, we 

 all feel gratified with the large spring 

 business, and a look around the city 

 finds everybody cleaned out. A most 

 welcome rain fell over Buffalo and vi- 

 cinity last week, which made outdoor 

 stock jump. Asters came with a rush 

 and in a day or two we will have them 

 on the market. Asters are always wel- 

 comed, to relieve us from small carna- 

 tions and poor roses. 



Various Notes. 



Chas. Sandiford, private gardener for 

 J. J. Albright, has grown indoor fruits 

 and vegetables this year with great suc- 

 cess. Grapes and cucumbers are the 

 chief products. The grapes are too 

 precious, but he does pass out a cucum- 

 ber or two. 

 w/ The latest recruit to the florists' 

 ranks in Buffalo is Harvey Eckert. A 

 few years ago he started selling vege- 

 table plants and doing small planting 

 jobs. By hard work, etc., he managed 

 to build a greenhouse. He has steadily 

 increased his trade and now he is doing 

 a nice business. His latest move is a 

 subscription to the Beview, so we all 

 believe him to be on the right track. 



Mr. Foss intends to build a house or 

 two this season. E. A. 8.

ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



The weather last week was uncom- 

 fortably warm and did not help busi- 

 ness. There is little doing, except fun- 

 eral work, and that is not plentiful. 



There is still a scarcity of first-class 

 stock in almost all lines. This has been 

 the complaint for the last six weeks, es- 

 pecially regarding roses. Bride is small 

 and Maid is away off color. Both are 

 badly mildewed. Kaiserin, Ivory, Carnot 

 and Killarney are among the best. Beau- 

 ties are poor, although plenty of them 

 are offered. Sweet peas have been a 

 great glut, but are now letting up. 



Carnations are small and poor in color. 

 There seems to be plenty of them to go 

 around, as the demand is not heavy for 



colored stock. Enchantress and any 

 white sell fairly well. Gladioli sell, es- 

 pecially the lighter shades. A fair quan- 

 tity of asters is coming in now and will 

 soon take the place of sweet peas as a 

 drug on the market. Other outdoor flow- 

 ers are not selling any too well. 



Qub Meeting. 



The St. Louis Florists' Club held an 

 interesting meeting July 11. Twenty of 

 the faithful braved the hot afternoon 

 and were glad they came to listen to the 

 interesting discussions that took place. 

 President Irish opened the meeting 

 promptly at 2:30 p. m., with all the 

 officers present except Trustees Beyer 

 and Weber, who were reported ill. Chair- 

 man Smith reported that everything was 

 in readiness for the annual outing of the 

 club for its members and friends, at
