MRS. JARDINE 



We offer this new rose for March delivery and can recommend it most highly 

 for commercial use. The color is a bright, pleasing pink, similar to that of 

 Killamey. It is a prolific bloomer, free and easy to grow, and without doubt 

 will supersede the Bridesmaid when better known. «it ^ ^ ^ «jt ji jl

The Market. 



Last week was noted for its fine weath- 

 er, its abundance of cut blooms at all 

 the wholesale houses, and prices away 

 down. January 13 we had our first 

 real winter weather and a good fall of 

 8now, which will, no doubt, stiffen up 

 the prices by decreasing the amount of 

 stock that has been coming in. According 

 to the reports of our wholesale men, 

 trade all over the city must have been 

 'lull in all lines except funeral work, 

 *s white flowers sold, while colored stock 

 "3(1 to be dumped or sold at a low 

 price in order to dispose of it. This 

 "^^ reference only to firsts and seconds, 

 '*8 fancy stock sold cheap. 



I^rides and Maids are plentiful and 

 '0 are carnations of all varieties. Cali- 

 to uia violets, too, seem abundant. In 



bulb stock, callas, valley, Bomans and 

 Paper Whites, the market is overstock- 

 ed. A lot of fine white and pink sweet 

 peas are coming in. The more season- 

 able weather should brace up the trade 

 in general all over the country. 



Miller in Street Fi{[ht 



The daily papers of January 8 con- 

 tained the following : 



"Theodore Millei', a florist, of 4832 

 Delmar boulevard, was arrested Wednes- 

 day morning at Sixth and Olive streets 

 after he had knocked down Simon Jo- 

 seph, president of the Simon Joseph 

 Iron and Metal Co., of 4954 McPher- 

 son avenue. Both men were taken to 

 the Central Station by Policeman Duek- 

 er, who witnessed the fight, and Joseph 

 was released when be said he would ap- 

 pear against Miller. 



"Miller said that about two years 

 ago he bought $1,000 worth of first 



mortgage bonds of the St. Louis, Web- 

 ster & Valley Pa^k Railroad Co., for 

 $940 from Joseph. He said he received 

 his dividends up to six weeks ago. After 

 that, he said, Joseph would not pay him, 

 saying that the money stringency made 

 it impossible to do so. Miller said he 

 consulted a lawyer, but had taken no 

 action. He said he struck Joseph but 

 once. Miller is 48 years old and Jo- 

 seph 52." 



Qub Meeting. 



The new year's meeting of the St. 

 Jjouis Florists' Club was held in the 

 Burlington building January 9 at two 

 o'clock, and was attended by thirty 

 members. All the oflBcers were in their 

 chairs when the meeting was called to 

 order. President W. C. Young presiding. 

 The trustees reported unfavorably as to 

 the entertainment proposed at the last 

 meeting. 



Chairman Sanders, of the pottery com- 

 mittee, made a report of the commit- 

 tee's meeting. This report brought out 

 a lengthy discussion, in which aU the 

 members took part. On a final vote 

 it was decided that a subscription 

 amounting to $10,000 must be completed 

 by May 15, and in case the subscription 

 was not completed by that time the pot- 

 tery proposition would be dropped. Dur- 

 ing the meeting $1,500 was subscribed. 



It was decided that at the next regu- 

 lar club meeting the annual carnation 

 exhibition should take place. The local 

 growers and growers of new varieties 

 are invited to make exhibits. 



J. F. Ammann invited the members to 

 attend the meeting of the Illinois Flo- 

 rists' Association, which takes place Feb- 

 ruary 18, at Springfield, HI. President 

 Young urged the members to prepare 

 exhibits and make a display at the na- 

 tional flower show, at Chicago, next No- 

 vember. The question box contained a 

 number of important questions, which 

 interested the local growers and retailers.

 Co., Jefferson City, Mo., spent a few 

 days in the city last week, Mr. Brown 

 reports that he will build this spring
