month, at which some phase of the flo-

 meeting, A. R. Knowles, the retiring 

 president, entertained the club at din- 

 ner at the New York cafe. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



The cut flower trade is not as good 

 as it might be. Funeral work is the 

 bulk of the business done, but there are 

 a few small weddings and dinners. The 

 call for chrysanthemums is good. Some 

 extra fine Monrovia, Fitzwygram, Glory 

 of Pacific and Willowbrook are now to 

 be had, but not in large lots as yet. 

 These hurt the prices of roses, v.hich 

 are plentiful. Bride, Maid, Richmond 

 and Killamey are fine and too many for 

 the demand. American Beauty still has 

 a big call. Carnations are not anytoo 

 many. Last week, however, all varieues 

 were abundant. They are now coming 

 in with longer stems and the market 

 price seems to hold around 2 cents, un- 

 less extra fancy, when a cent more is 

 asked. Violets are of much better qual- 

 ity, but aa yet there is slow sale for 

 them. 



Some extra fine lily of the valley is 

 offered at all the wholesale houses. Cos- 

 mos is now offered in large quantities 

 and hag been selling well. Tuberoses 



have been quite plentiful and prices have 

 dropped. Dahlias are fine, at cheap 

 prices. Wild smilax has a good call, as 

 have other greens. 



Qtib Meetiii£. 



The Florists' Club held its monthly 

 meeting October 10, with a good at- 

 tendance. President William C. Young 

 presided, with all the new officers pres- 

 ent. Henry Jennemann, of Webster 

 Groves, made application for member- 

 ship. Mr. Jennemann make»- a specialty 

 of dahlias and exhibited a fine vase at 

 the meeting. Walter Retzer, of the St. 

 Louis Seed Co., was elected to member- 

 ship. A vote of sympathy was extended 

 to George M. Kellogg in his great loss 

 by boiler explosion. A vote of sympathy 

 was also extended to the Chicago Flo- 

 rists' Club in the loss of Edgar Sanders, 

 who was its treasurer at* the time of his 

 death. 



Prof. H. C. Irish and J. J. Beneke 

 were appointed a committee to act with 

 the trustees who are to confer with a 

 committee from the Horticultural So- 

 ciety for the purpose of entertaining the 

 visiting florists during the flower show 

 next month. 



Adolph Brix invited the Club to at- 

 tend his free flower show November 8 

 and to be his guests on that night, which 

 was accepted. 



J. F. Ammann, of Edwardsville, gave 

 an entertaining talk about the Spring- 



field flower show, given during the Illi- 

 nois State Fair, and was listened to with 

 great interest. 



G. H. Pring, who has charge of the 

 orchid houses at the Missouri Botanical 

 Garden, was present and spoke on his 

 trip to Europe this summer and will, 

 during the December meeting, give a 

 stereopticon lecture, at which all florists 

 in the city will be invited to be present. 



After adjournment all the members 

 were taken to a near-by cafe and all sat 

 down to a fine spread provided by the 

 officers, who say that this will take place 

 after all the meetings during the year. 



As the next meeting will take place 

 November 14, the week of the flower 

 show, the trustees will make special ef- 

 fort for an interesting meeting, as all 

 the visiting florists will be invited to 

 attend. 



Variottt Notes. 



Henry Ostertag reports that he has 

 the contract to decorate the Railroad 

 Y. M. C. A. The order was given by 

 Miss Helen Gould, who donated the new 

 building. The big job will take place 

 this week. 



L. N. Van Hook, of Ferguson, Mo., 

 will cut a great many extra fine Cali- 

 fornia violets and carnations this season. 



The Kirkwood florists, of whom there 

 now are many, have this year made prep- 

 arations to furnish this market with Cali- 

 fornia violets and carnations. Among
