ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



We have alwut the same story to tell: 

 Business is dull. The only redeeming 

 feature is the remarkably cool weather 

 we have been having. The retailers, 

 when not busy with funeral work, are 

 putting in their spare time making alter- 

 ations and preparations for the fall 

 trade. The wholesalers and greenhouse 

 men, too, are making quite extensive al- 

 terations, 80 as to be through in time to 

 make the trip to attend the S. A. F. con- 

 vention. 



Stock coming in at the four wholesale 

 houses is of summer quality and any- 

 thing fancy is out of the question. Roses 

 are scarce, hardly enough coming in to 

 supply one quarter of the demand. Car- 

 nations, too, are short of the needs of 

 the retailers. Asters are becoming plen- 

 tiful in all colors and cheap in price. 

 These are selling fairly well, but the 

 consignments are so heavy that the sec- 

 ond grade is left over. Gladioli are 

 too many for the demand, although the 

 light colors fire selling well. Hardy hy- 

 drangeas are coming in for a good de- 

 mand. There are plenty of smilax, ferns 

 and asparagus in the market, with good 

 demand. 



Various Notes. 



Arthur Zirkman, representing M. Rice 

 & Co., spent a day here on his way home 

 from the coast. He reports a big trade 

 in the western states. 



Julius Koenig is now employed by the 

 park department and is stationed at the 

 Forest j)ark greenhouses. 



The Apple Growers' Congress will 



hold its annual meeting here next week, 

 at the Southern hotel. The members have 

 been invited to attend the Shaw banquet 

 on the night of August 14. 



W. Hibbert, of the Hibbert Floral Co., 

 De Sota, in company with his son, Rus- 

 sell, spent Monday here. 



Hugo Gross, of Kirkwood, has in 

 course of erection six new houses which 

 will soon be finished and in which carna- 

 tions and violets will be grown. Mr. 

 Gross has one of the largest places in 

 Kirkwood. 



Mrs. J. H. Kahrs, wife of the head of 

 the floral department of Grimm & Gor- 

 ley, on Cass avenue, died August 3, while 

 visiting at Buffalo, N. Y. The funeral 

 took place on Tuesday. 



Miss Tillie Meinhardt is visiting Mr. 

 and Mrs. W. J. Vesey, at Fort Wayne, 

 Ind., who recently celebrated their silver 

 wedding. They will together attend the 

 convention at Philadelphia. 



Alex Siegel and his family returned 

 last week from a vacation trip among 

 the northern lakes. He reports grand 

 fishing. 



The Foster Floral Co. has moved to 

 the new location, 909 Olive street, com- 

 bining both stores into one. 



F. W. Bruening is building two large 

 houses at his Columbia, 111., place, from 

 which he is cutting a fine lot of outdoor 

 stock, especially hardy hydrangeas. 



Charles Juengel is building two new 

 houses at his South Fourteenth street 

 place. Robert Thompson is building 

 them. This, he says, will change his 

 plans of attending the convention. 



Ulrich Arnold, for the last twelve years 

 gardener at O 'Fallon park, died last 

 week from hemorrhage. His son, who 



was sick in the next room, died the next 

 day, from the shock. A double funeral 

 was held August 3. Both were well 

 known in the trade. 



George Schriefer, of C. A. Kuehn's, is 

 taking a two weeks' vacation and will 

 put in all the time playing ball with the 

 city league teams. 



The St. Louis Horticultural Society 

 filed articles for incorporation last week. 

 In the application it is stated that their 

 aim is to conduct flower shows, to hold 

 state exhibitions, establish a bureau or 

 information, and provide a lecture course 

 on horticulture. The incorporators men- 

 tioned in the petition are Edward Mal- 

 linckradt, president; Otto G. Koenig, 

 secretary; F. C. Weber, Theo. Miller, A. 

 Meyer, Jr., Fred H. Meinhardt, Henry 

 Young, A. Jablonsky and Emil Schray. 



William C. Young, state \ice-president 

 of the S. A. F., had a busy week of it 

 sending out circulars to all the florists 

 in the state inviting them to attend the 

 convention and if possible travel with 

 the St. Louis delegation. The berths in 

 the specip.l car are filling up rapidly. 



G. D. Hoog, of Kirkwood, has bought 

 the greenhouses formerly operated by A. 

 Berdan. Mr. Hoog will grow lily of the 

 valley for this market. He also expects 

 by next season to add new houses for 

 carnations and violets. Mr. Berdan, who 

 is one of the oldest florists in Kirk- 

 wood, will retire. J. J. B. 



HORNELLSVILLE, N. Y.— W. A. Wett- 

 lin is entirely remodeling his store. 



Pekin, III. — Geo. A. Kuhl has pur- 

 chased and removed to his greenhouses 

 the boiler that was formerly in use at 

 the Pekin waterworks.
