 hlBtory,

TARRYTOWN. 



The usual well attended monthly 

 meeting of the Tarrytown Horticultural 

 Society was held Friday evening, No- 

 vember 29, President Howard Nichols 

 presiding. The monthly prize was won 

 by Mr. Nichols with a fine vase of Gold- 

 en Gate roses. The essay on outdoor 

 vegetables by Mr. Nichols was consid- 

 er^ by all to be a very able paper. 

 .James Ballantyne will open a discussion 

 on greenhouse roses at the December 

 meeting. The secretary reported that 

 upwards of $600 in prize money was 

 won at the November exhibition, besides 

 five silver cups, one silver pitcher and 

 a silver medal. Nomination of officers 

 was made for the coming year, to be 

 elected at the December meeting.

ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



Thanksgiving business in this city was 

 not so good as in previous years. From 

 reports, out in the west end they did 

 much better than downtown, while the 

 north end, as reported, did better than 

 down south. From general reports we 

 can safely say that Thanksgiving trade 

 was not up to any of the previous years. 

 In fact, tlie business for the whole of 

 last week can be called duU in all lines, 

 including social and funeral work. 



The wholesalers were not short. No- 

 vember 25 and 26, however, the market 

 was shy of good stock, with quite a 

 demand. Wednesday, November 27, there 

 was plenty of stock shipped in, with 

 few buyers. Had the shippers sent this 

 stock in Monday and Tuesday all could 

 have been sold, but they held it over 

 and plenty of it was left unsold. The 

 trade will not stand for pickled stock. 

 There is also too much of the cheap 

 grade of stock, which has a bad effect 

 on the market and the retail trade. If 

 this stock could be kept out of the 

 market, the shipper and the retailer 

 would obtain better prices. 



Chrysanthemums are about over. This 

 should have a good effect on roses and 



carnations. The prices on these will 

 go up this month. Boses are still ar- 

 riving in large lots, in all grades. Bride 

 and Maid are most plentiful. Of Bich- 

 mond and Eillamey, there are enough. 

 American Beauties are not overplentiful. 

 Carnations last week had a good call, 

 but the market was heavily stocked with 

 good quality. 



Violets started in at $1 per hundred, 

 but dropped to 75 cents for the best, 

 with not any too many. Longiflorums are 

 in plenty; so are Paper Whites. Callas 

 are selling slowly. Bomans are not in 

 yet. A few good sweet peas are in. 

 There is plenty of everything in greens. 



Various Notes. 



W. J. Pilcher, of Kirkwood, was in 

 every day last week, attending the chick- 

 en show. His stock took a number of 

 first prizes. Mr. Pilcher has his new 

 Kroeschell boiler in working order and 

 is sending in a fine lot of violets and 

 carnations to the market. 



The Southern Illinois Horticultural So- 

 ciety held its annual meeting in Belle- 

 ville, November 26 and 27. The demon- 

 strators were H. C. Irish, superintendent 

 of the Missouri Botanic Garden, and 

 Prof. J. C. Blair, of the Illinois State 

 University. Officers elected were: Presi-
