The Market. 



The market had plenty of everything 

 in season last week and the retailers had 

 a fairly good week's business, though 

 mostly work for funerals. Social work 

 among the west end florists is not as 

 brisk as it should be at this season of 

 the year. There are quite a few small 

 affairs, but those of any note have been 

 acarce so far this season. 



The weather last week, except Mon- 

 day, was clear and springlike, which 

 brought to this market an abundance of 

 cut stock and especially California vio- 

 lets, which have become a glut, and sold 

 as low as $2.50 per thousand. Carna- 

 tions, too, are abundant in all varieties, 

 white having the call over the others; 

 $15 to $20 in thousand lots is what they 

 brought last week. January 20 prices 

 stiffened somewhat. 



American Beauties of all grades are 

 plentiful, and so are Brides and Maids. 



Extra fancy stock is not overplentiful. 

 Newcomers last week were jonquils, 

 tulips and extra fine mignonette. Ko- 

 mans. Paper Whites, callas and sweet 

 peas are abundant; also everything in 

 the green line. 



Various Notes. 



The Engelmann Botanical Club elected 

 officers at the meeting held January 13: 

 President, C. H. Thompson, who has 

 charge of the cactus houses at the Mis- 

 souri Botanic Garden; vice-presidents. 

 Dr. Green and Dr. Gladfelter; secretary, 

 H. S. Barber; treasurer, John Kellogg. 

 During the evening Professor Craig, in 

 charge of the herbarium at the Missouri 

 Botanic Garden, gave an interesting lec- 

 ture. 



C. De Weaver, former manager for 

 J. W. Dunford, reports that he will this 

 spring build a greenhouse plant on his 

 place on the Olive street road, near Clay- 

 ton, Mo. 



J. W. Dunford, who recently bought 

 out the Gallagher Flower Shop, has 



opened a downtown branch in the drug 

 store of Johnston Bros., at Broadway 

 and Franklin avenue. Mr. Dunford re- 

 ports good trade at both places and is 

 cutting an abundance of stock of all 

 kinds from his Clayton place. 



C. C. Sanders braved the big snow- 

 storm Monday, January 13, to pay a 

 visit to his friend, J. F. Ammann, at 

 Edwardsville, 111. Mr. Sanders says Mr. 

 Ammann 's place is in extra fine shape 

 and that it is worth any man's time to 

 visit it. 



Park Commissioner Phil J. Scanlan 

 has returned from his recreation trip 

 and is again at his desk in the city 

 hall, looking like a much refreshed man. 



Prof. H. C. Irish, of the Missouri 

 Botanic Garden, is to read a paper of 

 his own selection at the meeting of the 

 Illinois State Florists' Association, 

 which meets at Springfield, El., Febru- 

 ary 18 and 19.
