shipping in large quantities of single vie- Valentine 's day. He finds a ready sale 

 lets. Thirty thousand of these were for all he grows and is selling them at 

 picked at his place the day before St. [ 50 cents per hundred. His roses are 



off crop and he cannot supply the de- 

 mand. He is cutting very few American 

 Beauties at present. 



James Payne had a good display of 

 purple Dutch hyacinths in his window 

 last week. 



The Alpha Floral Co. displayed in its 

 window some of the largest white car- 

 nations that we have seen this winter, 

 and also had some large Nelson Fisher. 

 This company claims that its trade is 

 twenty per cent better than last year at 

 this time. James Biggam, their decora- 

 tor, had the decoration for the Taft ban- 

 quet at the convention hall. Large quan- 

 tities of wild smilax and palms were 

 used. 



D. Freudenthal reports business as be- 

 ing good, but he cannot get enough white 

 roses in this market. Mr. Freudenthal 

 has leased a new store, which is now 

 being fitted up. The location is a good 

 one. It is at the southwest corner of 

 Eleventh street and Grand avenue, in the 

 Bryant building. He intends to run both 

 stores. We are glad to see him come to 

 the front and wish him much success in 

 liis new undertaking. 



Miss J. E. Murray is doing a fine busi- 

 ness. Her display in the show window 

 was good. A vase of large white snap- 

 dragon was the center of attraction. 



We have been told that Miss M. Dalley 

 will, in the near future, open a cut flow- 

 er store. W. H. H. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



The wholesale commission men report 

 tlie cut flower market in a very satisfac- 

 tory condition the last week, as far as 

 the supply was concerned, but prices 

 were not so satisfactory, as they were 

 up one day and down the next. They also 

 claim that the retailers must have had 

 plenty of funeral work to do, as white 

 stock of all kinds sold pretty clean every 

 day last week, while of colored stock 

 there was plenty left after the morning 

 sales were over. On Monday, February 

 17, there were not any too many cut 

 flowers in the market, and clean-up sales 

 were reported. 



On St. Valentine's day a large sup- 

 ply of violets came in and the price 

 dropped from $7.50 per thousand to $5.
