ST. LOUIS. 



Tlie Market. 



The mjfrket went to pieces last week. 

 The wholesale houses were loaded down 

 with everything in season, with a great 

 decline in prices, and it looks as though 

 the florists are going to feel the effects 

 of Lent more this year than last, as the 

 majority of the retailers reported a dull 

 week; funeral work was about the only 

 thing that helped out. Blooming plants, 

 though, are selling fairly well with the 

 uptown florists. 



In looking over the wholesale market 

 we find a glut in bulbous stock. Valley, 

 Von Sions, jonquils, callas, Dutch hya- 

 cinths, tulips and freesias are all over- 

 abundant. The same must be said of 

 carnations in all varieties and grades. 

 The fine weather brought in an avalanche 

 of violets, all California. These sold as 

 low as 10 cents per hundred. Eoses, 

 which have been scarce of late, piled up 

 alarmingly, showing that the demand was 

 slow. Prices can hardly be quoted cor- 

 rectly, as it depends on how many are 

 bought. 



Smilax, asparagus, adiantum and other 

 greens also are plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



A. S. Halstead, president of the St. 

 Clair Floral Co., Belleville, 111., was a 

 caller last week and reports a good run 

 of trade. 



Martin Moran, many years in the era- 

 ploy of • Mrs. M. M, Ayers, has taken a 

 position with the St. Louis Seed Co. 

 His many friends in the trade will miss 

 his genial face at the wholesale markets. 



Frank M. Ellis, who left here a year 

 ago to operate a banana plantation in 

 Panama, states in a letter that he will be 

 in St. Louis the latter part of this month 

 to pay a visit to his family and friends 

 in the trade. 



Mrs. Smith, mother of W. C. Smith, 

 left for Milwaukee last week to visit her 

 daughter, Mrs. H. V. Hunkel, who is ill. 

 Mrs. Hunkel 's husband is of the well 

 known firm of Holton & Hunkel. 



The Riesscn Floral Co. had a busy 

 week. Lent so far has not cut any figure 

 with them. 



George A. Kuhl, of Pekin, 111., is a 

 visitor this week, attending the spring 

 fiower show. 



Report comes from Edwardsville, 111., 

 that Mrs. Ammann, wife of J. F. Am- 

 mann, is very ill. 



J. F. Wilcox, of Council Bluffs, Iowa, 

 is sending to this market a fine cut of 

 Brides, Maids, American Beauties and 

 carnations. 



John Steidle, a member of both the 

 Florists' Club and Horticultural Society, 



wlio has been appointed state vice-presi- 

 dent of the S. A. F. by President 

 Traendly, will soon begin active work to 

 get the boys in line for the convention 

 and for new members for the society. 



The St. Louis Florists' Club's last 

 meeting in the old quarters in the Bur- 

 lington building this week Thursday 

 promises to be well attended. In con- 

 nection with this meeting the annual 

 rose exhibition will take place. 



Walter Betzer, of the St. Louis Seed 

 Co., reports a heavy week's business in 

 seeds of all kinds. Pressure of business 

 alone keeps them from making an ex- 

 hibit at the spring flower show this 

 week. 



The St. Louis Horticultural Society's 

 second spring flower show opened Tues- 

 day, March 10, for three days. 



J. J. B. 



OwENSBORO, Ky. — The Nanz Floral Co. 

 has recently made a lease on the store 

 at the corner of Main and Allen streets. 

 The building will be remodeled, with a 

 large window, to supply all the necessi- 

 ties for an up-to-date flower store. 



Peoria, III. — The business of Nelson 

 & Klopfer, formerly the Cation Green- 

 house Co., is now conducted under the 

 name of J. A. Nelson & Co., Mr. Klopfer 

 having retired from the firm. 



Richmond, Va. — Mann & Brown have 

 opened a branch store in the Jefferson 

 Hotel building.
