"William A. Peterson, of the Peterson 

 Nursery, is one of the leaders in the 

 movement to compel the closing of sa- 

 loons on Sunday. 



Is it merely coincidence that A. McKel- 

 lar, head gardener to the king of Eng- 

 land, is an orchid specialist f 



John Evert is rapidly planting lettuce 

 where the chrysanthemum plants have 

 been. 



With local growers Omega is one of the 

 sorts to be dropped from the chrysanthe- 

 mum lists. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



The trade here has passed another dull 

 week in the cut flower business, and 

 about the only work done was for funer- 

 als. There is not much going on in the 

 social world worthy of mention. In the 

 downtown district the florists are display- 

 ing signs for stock at cheap prices. 



Cut stock of all kinds in the commis- 



sion houses was so plentiful last week, 

 and the demand so slow, that plenty of 

 stock was dumped or sold in thousand 

 lots very cheap. This is not encouraging 

 for this, Thanksgivingj^week, and should 

 the glut continue, prices will hardly go 

 up on anything, unless it be on violets. 

 In these, $1 per hundred will be de- 

 manded for . the best Calif ornias. No 

 doubles are in this market at present. 



Chrysanthemums are still plentiful, but 

 the prices are not so high; still they have 

 a depressing effect on roses and carna- 

 tions. Eaton and Wedding are the best 

 that come in. Eoses are of good quality, 

 but so many come in that seconds hardly 

 bring over $5 per thousand. In these 

 they are mostly Bride, Maid, and 

 short Richmond and ^llarney. Carna- 

 tions are also of good quality, but did 

 not clean out last week. Enchantress, 

 White Perfection, Craig and Lawson are 

 in demand. Others drag, Violets are 

 extremely scarce. There is plenty of 

 good valley to be had. Paper Whites 

 sell well. Bomans are still among the 

 missing. 



Smilax, asparagus and adiantum have 

 daily calls, but not in large lots. 



Various Notes. 



E. W. Guy, of Belleville, 111., was in 

 the city the early part of last week, buy- 

 ing supplies. He reports his business as 

 such that he could not find time to visit 

 the recent flower show. 



The western half of Forest park, which 

 since the world's fair has been under- 

 going restoration at the hands of the 

 Louisiana Exposition Co., has been turned 

 over to the city as completed. Walter B. 

 Stevens, of the Exposition Co., reports 

 that the company spent $500,000 in res- 

 toration, George Kessler, the landscape 

 architect, had charge of the work. All it 

 needs now is the approval of Park Com- 

 missioner Phil Scanlan. 



Otto Triebwasser, formerly in business 

 at 1542 North Twenty-seventh street, 

 Philadelphia, is in the city. Mr. Trieb- 

 wasser was lately with Miss Schnell in 

 East St. Louis, 111., but will leave next 

 week for the west, stopping at Kansas 

 City. 



The St. Louis Seed Co. has purchased 

 a tract of land in the county and contem- 

 plates building a range of houses next 

 summer, to grow plants, mostly vegeta-
