Variotis Notes. 



Harry Rieman, formerly in business 

 here under the name of Riemen & 

 Chandler, and of late with Alex John- 

 son, was arrested last week charged 

 with passing a number of worthless 

 checks, some in the trade suffering 

 heavily, George Waldbart and Conrad 

 Bergsterman among them. 



John Held, the South St. Louis flo- 

 rist, showed last week that he knew 

 how to grow cyclamen and mignonette. 

 Everybody remarked as to their extra 

 fine quality. 



Mr. Farney, representing the well- 

 known firm of A. L. Randall Co., Chi- 

 cago, is in town this week with a line 

 of Easter novelties in baskets and rib- 



bons. Mr. Farney reports a satisfac- 

 tory business trip. 



On visiting the seed district, we found 

 the St. Louis Seed Co. the busiest house 

 in the city, with both local and ship- 

 ping trade, and their large force of 



iraVERY now and then a well 

 »>9 pleased reader speaks the word 

 which is the means of bringing a new 

 advertiser to 



Such friendly assistance is thorotighly 

 appreciated.

 whom you are buying;, not an adver- 

 tiser. We especially wish to interest 

 those selling articles of florists' t»e

help was not enough to attend to cus- 

 tomers. Messrs. Nichols, Retzer and 

 Rau, the heads of the firm, had to leave 

 their desks to help out. 



W. C. Smith & Co. are making a spe- 

 cialty of wire trellises, tree boxes and 



garden chairs, of which they have a 

 large assortment. These are displayed 

 in their salesroom. 



George Waldbart has his right hand in 

 a sling, the result of primula poison- 

 ing. This did not prevent him from 

 handing out cigars to the visitors who 

 called on him last week on their way 

 to the spring flower show. 



William Schray & Sons' display of 

 bulb stock at last week's show was 

 really unsurpassed by such exhibits at 

 any previous show. 



James S. Wilson, of Western Springs, 

 HI., spent much time laat week visit- 

 ing his many friends here and his mother, 

 who resides here. Mr. Wilson states 

 that he will leave Western Springs soon 

 to start in business for himself in Des 

 Moines, Iowa, and his many friends in 

 the trade wish him well in his new under- 

 taking. 



Frank O. Kuhule, lately with Fleisch- 

 man, Chicago, is now in the employ of 

 Mrs. M. M. Ayers, having taken the 

 position vacated by Martin Moran. Mrs. 

 Ayers is much pleased with having em- 

 ployed Mr. Kuhule. J. J. B.

The Market 



Business is booming, or, rather, was 

 booming last Saturday. Being a beau- 

 tiful spring day, with bargain sales 

 on at most of the dry goods stores, 

 furniture stores, etc., everyone was out; 

 consequently the florists were also busy. 

 And the people were buying, too. 



The market is by no means devoid 

 of stock, but much stock was disposed
