Mention The Review wben yon write. 



the fall business booked is in excess of 

 other years. They are steadily adding 

 to their line and have several good novel- 

 ties this season. 



The market gardeners and the growers 

 with stock in the fields have been badly 

 in need of rain. It came at the first of 

 this week and did great good. 



A fire on Fifth avenue and Forty- 

 second street did considerable damage in 

 the building in which the fine retail 

 store of Thomas Young, Jr., is estab- 

 lished, but was subdued before it reached 

 his premises. 



Alex. McConnell was the only retail 

 florist who attended the funeral of the 

 veteran gardener, Samuel Hcnshaw. They 

 were old friends and Mr. Henshaw never 

 visited New York without a call at the 

 Arcade. 



A. T. Boddington's Christmas sweet 

 peas are having a phenomenal sale. 

 Harry Bunyard will welcome the friends 

 of this house and his legion of personal 

 admirers at the S. A. F. convention with 

 an elaborate exhibit as usual. 



H. H. Berger & Co. report a rapidly 

 increasing business at their new head- 

 quarters on Warren street. Pansy seed 

 and cyclamen are specialties here and of 

 national reputation. 



The National Florists ' Board of Trade 

 has just issued its July book, the largest 

 and most complete list of florists, etc., 

 it has ever given its subscribers. 



Sigmund Geller arrived home from 

 Europe July 31, with many florists' sup- 

 ply novelties. 



Old home week in Boston has drawn 

 some New York florists east and the 

 president of the S. A. F. has assured 

 them of a warm fraternal welcome.

Cana.joharie, N. Y. — Joseph Traudt, 

 proprietor of the Y'ates Floral Co., has 

 returned from a trip to New England 

 and Long Island. 



Winchester, Ky. — J. W. Shearer says 

 that trade this season has been the best 

 he ever had, especially in bedding plants. 

 He has sold out clean. 



St. Thomas, Ont. — Sunday, July 2T, 

 was Decoration day here and the flori.svs 

 did a good business in cemetery bou- 

 quets. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



Last week was the hottest of the sea- 

 son and, of course, this did not improve 

 business or stock. Quite a bit of funeral 

 work was made up last week, but in all 

 other lines business was dull and the 

 days become monotonous about the flow- 

 er stores. The wholesalers, too, are hav- 

 ing lazy times after the morning sales 

 ere over. So little stock is coming in 

 that in a few hours all has been disposed 

 of and delivered. 



A lo(A over the stock that came in 

 Monday morning, at the different whole- 

 sale houses, showed that there was hard- 

 ly enough to go around. J. F. Ammann 

 is still sending in a few good Killarney, 

 Ivory and Richmond roses. Beauties of 

 the first grade are scarce; in fact, all 

 grades in these are short. 



Carnations are poor. No fancy grades 

 are coming in. Asters are selling well; 

 so are gladioli. As these are good keep- 

 era, they make excellent window decora- 

 tions. Plenty of these are coming in, 

 I increasing in quantity each week. The 



foregoing is about what makes up the 

 market these dull days. 



Rate to Philadelphia. 



In the rate and routes given Wm. C. 

 Young, state vice-president of the S. A. 

 F., the $25 rate quoted was in error, to 

 Jamestown via Philadelphia, as this tick- 

 et does not carry any stopover. 



The 60-day, $30.60 ticket with 10-day 

 stopover at Philadelphia via rail to Nor- 

 folk, stopover at Norfolk, via boat to 

 Washington, stopover at Washington, 

 Baltimore, Harrisburg, Pittsburg, etc., is 

 the best ticket and will be used largely 

 by the florists. 



The Florists' Picnic. 



The fourteenth annual picnic given by 

 the St. Louis Florists' Club was held 

 Thursday, July 25, at Ramona park. 

 Every car that came out was loaded with 

 florists. The reception committee, 

 Messrs. Fillmore, Schoenle and Beneke, 

 had a hard task supplying all with 

 badges, which entitled them to all privi- 

 leges, including refreshments anu cigars. 

 The attendance was the largest ever seen 

 at a florists' outing. There were 300
