A. Shaw. The dues are 50 cents a night, 

 payable in advance, and no one can bowl 

 who is not a member of the New York 

 Florists' Club. 



The games on Friday evening were in- 

 teresting. There will be a better average 

 than 155 by the five winners of a free 

 trip to the convention and a very stren- 

 uous competition, judging by the pre- 

 liminary. Messrs. Young, Schultz and 

 Shaw modestly withhold their score for 

 the first evening. Fred Lentz, who will 

 be a regular member of the club, rolled 

 one game and made 180, without half 

 trying. The following were the scores 

 of the best six:

night and day. Shipments are growing 

 beyond expectations. Reed & Keller will 

 soon offer some new inventions. The 

 Geller Co. reports a large demand for 

 prepared magnolia leaves. B. Rosens 

 has a large stock of galax and wild 

 smilax is arriving daily. Russin & Han- 

 fling have remodeled their store and 

 their factory is busy with baskets and 

 sheaves, which are their specialties. They 

 all are well prepared for the Easter 

 demand. 



J. T. Cokely, of the Scranton Florists' 

 Supply Co., was in the city March 23 

 on his way to New England. 



Bowling. 



The New York Florists' Bowling 

 Club's first meeting, March 20, was well 

 attended. W. E. Marshall was elected 

 president, J. A. Shaw secretary, and 

 J. A. Manda treasurer. A communica- 

 tion from President Traendly was read 

 announcing his offer^^^ free transporta- 

 tion to the five members of the club 

 making an average of 155 or over in 

 twenty practice games, for which he 

 received a unanimous vote of thanks. 

 These games begin Friday evening, April 

 3, and the second and third games will 

 count each evening until all are rolled. 

 The Albion alleys have been secured, 

 at 117 West Twenty-third street, close to 

 Sixth avenue, and are most convenient. 

 Already there are nearly twenty mem- 

 bers, as follows: Harry Bunyard, Chas. 

 Weathered, P. O'Mara, Robert Berry, 

 F. H. Traendly, J. A. Manda, N. Schreiv- 

 er, W. H. Marshall, Al Rickards, Will 

 Rickards, Wm. Duckham, F. A. Lord,

ST. LOUIS. 



The Market 



Trade last week was reported as good 

 in all parts of the city, in spite of the 

 falling off in large social functions and 

 other events that do not take place during 

 Lent. A great deal of the work was for 

 funerals. 



Stock at the wholesale houses was not 

 nearly so plentiful as the week previous 

 and prices went up a notch or two on all 

 grades of stock. Perhaps the shippers 

 sent in less in order to obtain better 

 prices. The wholesalers had less stock to 

 handle and some days cleaned up pretty 

 well. As it is, there are plenty of roses 

 and carnations coming in, but none to 



dump. Violets are becoming smaller and 

 will not last much longer if the warm 

 weather keeps up. Bulbous stock is still 

 plentiful. There are too many Von Sions 

 and jonquils for the demand. Smilax and 

 other greens sell well. 



Various Notes. 



The firm of Kelley & Petschonek has 

 been dissolved by mutual consent. The 

 place will be continued under the name 

 of the Kelley Floral Co. The other mem- 

 bers of the firm are J. Wolfert and C. 

 Wolfert. They will continue at the old 

 stand, 627 North Kingshighway, the Wol- 

 ferts being father-in-law and brother-in- 

 law of Mr. Kelley. 



C. Young & Sons Co. put in a busy 

 week in the seed and plant shipping de- 

 partment. Local trade in this line is now 

 well under way. 



Union market was fairly alive with 

 blooming plants during the few warm 

 days last week. All stands reported good 

 sales. 



Vincent J. Gorley, president of the 

 Grimm 6c Gorley Floral Co., on Cass ave- 

 nue, has purchased a tract of land with 

 160 feet frontage on St. Louis avenue 

 from Jesse Van Campenhoudt for a con- 

 sideration of $5,000. The purchase in- 

 cludes a number of greenhouses which 

 were run by Mr. Van Campenhoudt. The 

 company will build more houses this sum- 

 mer and grow cut flowers for its own use. 



The Engelmann Botanical Club has de- 

 cided to hold a spring flower show next 

 month. Last year it failed to hold one, 

 owing to the backward spring. This year 

 things are more favorable. 



Nat Kingsley, a member of the Mul- 

 lanphy Flower Co., on Grand avenue, has 

 disappeared. His partner, Mr. Seeger,
