NORTH TONAWANDA, N. Y. 



With January 1, 1908, the King Con- 

 struction Co. divorced its two establish- 

 ments, the one at Toronto being now on 

 an entirely separate basis from the busi- 

 ness in the United States, whish has 

 been incorporated with the following offi- 

 cers: I^resident, R. O. King; vice-presi- 

 dent, E. O. Spillman; secretary and 

 treasurer, C. E. C. Hepworth. The com- 

 pany reports a fair amount of business 

 in sight for spring. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



Trade in the flower market last week 

 kept up pretty well, but prices on stock 

 went low on almost everything, the whole- 

 salers having plenty of stock to fill any 

 order that came in, either local or ship- 

 ping. The Lenten season opening this 

 week, a number of fashionable weddings 

 and parties took place Monday and Tues- 

 day, for which quite a lot of cut stock 

 was required. 



Roses are becoming more plentiful, but 

 there are not any too many of fancy 

 quality. Carnations are overplentiful, 

 although quality is extra good. Violets 

 and sweet peas sell well, though cheap. 

 Bulbous stock is 'plentiful and low in 

 price. All kinds of greens are abundant. 



Variota Notes. ^ 



Henry Emmons, .of Belleville, was a 

 caller last week. He is sending a nice 

 lot of white carnations to H. G. Berning 



and reports a fine run of trade in his 

 city. 



The Burton-Allison Co. and the Man- 

 chester Chemical Co., in our city, are 

 busy preparing green coloring for carna- 

 tions for St. Patrick's day, for which 

 they have a great many advance orders. 



Charles Kuehn has started his spring 

 cleaning early. The place is being deco- 

 rated and all hands are busy in the 

 mix-up. 



Henry Ostertag reports that he had a 

 few good wedding orders just before 

 Lent set in. He is taking great interest 

 in the building of the new coliseum near 

 his place of business. 



C. Young & Sons Co. are this week 

 making a splendid show of tulips in their 

 large windows, which serve as a great at- 

 traction. 



J. F. Ammann, of Edwardsville, spent 

 a day in the city last week. His time is 

 much taken up with the duties of secre- 

 tary of the Illinois State Florists' Asso- 

 ciation. He and President Albert T. 

 Hey, of the association, visited the Belle-
