business is poor you can t'l-i'l sure that 

 no one else is very busy. 



E„-G. Gillett was in Springfield, 0., 

 October 26, looking after business. 



Among the visitors were M. Shattles, 

 of Lion & Co., New York, and B. Esch- 

 ner, who is too well known to nee^ an 

 introduction. Mr. Eschner is carrying a 

 large line of up-to-date samples of all 

 kinds of florists' supplies and reports 

 business to be good. C. J. Ohmer. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



The last week's trade among the local 

 florists was not as good as expected. In- 

 terest centered in the international bal- 

 loon races and our trade suffered. So- 

 ciety did little entertaining and tran- 

 sient trade downtown fell off greatly. 

 Now that the fall festivities have ended, 

 business in the cut flower line will be- 



come more steady; at least, we expect it 

 to be. The bulk of work done was for 

 funerals and a few small weddings. 

 Some of the uptown florists have booked 

 quite a number of good wedding orders 

 for the first part of next month, which 

 they say will require a lot of first-class 

 stock and decorative plants. 



The wholesale market is stocked up 

 with almost anything the store man 

 wants and there seems to be plenty of 

 it. The wholesalers report quite a good . 

 shipping trade of late, which helped 

 them to use up some of their surplus 

 stock. 



Chrysanthemums are at their height 

 now and the demand for white and yel- 

 low is good, with some extra fancy stock 

 coming in. Boscs are in plenty, but the 

 demand is slow and prices are away 

 down in all grades and will remain this 

 way until mums are over. 



Carnations are not yet what they 

 should be, but the demand seems quite 

 good in all colors ana grades. En- 



chantress and white have the call, with 

 the top price at 3 cents. 



- There is plenty of good valley in the 

 market and violets are becoming better 

 almost every day. Colder weather will 

 bring them on edge. The recent frosts 

 have killed all outdoor stock. Every- 

 thing in greens is plentiful with all the 

 whole^talers. 



Various Notes. 



President Young and Secretary Bent- 

 zen, of the St. Louis Florists' Club, will 

 meet this week with the trustees of the 

 club to make arrangements for enter- 

 taining visiting florists during flower 

 show week. The meeting of the club will 

 take place Thursday afternoon, Novem- 

 ber 14, and President Young states that 

 all visitors will be invited to partake 

 of refreshments, and cigars will be 

 served at the meeting hall during the 

 afternoon. 



A visit to the establishment of Adolpli 

 Brix, on St. Louis avenue, was well re-
