Mention The Review -when you write. 



and Ms friends fear that he has met with 

 foul play, as his affairs are in good shape. 



Fred Foster, of the Foster Floral Co., 

 met with an accident Sunday, March 22, 

 while out driving. Both of his legs and 

 ribs were fractured and it will be Easter 

 before he will be able to be about to at- 

 tend to business. 



Plant decorations were quite numerous 

 last week, for spring openings of down- 

 town department stores. Among those 

 who were busy with them were W. 

 Schray & Sons, Charles Beyer, C. Young 

 & Sons Co. and the Sanders Nurseries. 



A. Brix's place on St. Louis avenue is 

 loaded down with fine spring blooming 

 plants of every variety in season. All 

 come from his Mead avenue greenhouses. 

 Cut flower trade is reported a little slow, 

 but the plant trade has kept him busy. 



Frank Fillmore, who is a member of 

 the grand council of the Koyal Arcanum, 

 spent the greater part of last week in 

 the city attending the sessions. The 

 meeting place was made attractive by 

 his daily distribution of carnations. 



Park Commissioner Phil Scanlan in his 

 report tells the board of public improve- 

 ments that work of restoration of Forest 

 park, used by the Louisiana Exposition 

 Co., moves slowly and the world's fair 

 site is still far from restoration, and 

 that trees and shrubs are arranged with- 

 out system and that little hopes are held 

 out for complete restoration this year. 



Charles Schoenle, one of the firm of 

 Burton-Allison Co., manufacturers of 

 flower colorings, reports that they were 

 never so busy as the week before St. 

 Patrick's day, supplying green coloring 

 to almost every state in the Union. They 

 expect to double their business next year, 



as the goods gave general satisfaction. 



Fred Ammann, of Edwardsville, 111., 

 Adolph Fehr, of Belleville, and William 

 Winter, of Kirkwood, were in town last 

 week, calling on friends in the trade. All 

 are having a large crop of cut flowers, 

 consigning to this market. 



The Florists' Club's meeting comes 

 early in the month, April 9. This meet- 

 ing w^U be held in the new hall, known 

 as Bowman's hall, northeast corner of 

 Eleventh and Locust streets. The April 

 meetings are generally poorly attended, 

 owing to the busy planting season with 

 the growers. President Young and Sec- 

 retary Bentzen will make a special effort 

 to get out the retail and wholesale mem- 

 bers, who are none too busy, and it is to 

 be hoped that they will come out in 

 goodly numbers, as a number of impor- 

 tant discussions are to come up.

The Market 



If anything, a slight improvement is 

 noticeable. There is no improvement 

 in prices, which rule lower than for 

 many years at this season. Roses are 

 on the downward grade. The best Beau- 

 ties are bringing about half what they 

 realized a month ago, few passing $3 

 per dozen. The finest Richmond and 

 Killamey bring the same money. Of 

 smaller grades there is a heavy excess 

 of all kinds and the street fakers have 

 all the roses, carnations, violets and 

 bulbous stock they want. Carnations are 

 coming in somewhat in reduced numbers. 

 Many growers state that their plants 

 are now somewhat off crop. While prices 



do not harden, there is less stock wasted 

 than was the case a few weeks ago. Vio- 

 lets are deteriorating in quality. The 

 singles are coming smaller and paler in 

 color. Easter supplies of these promise 

 to be lighter than usual. 



Sweet peas are plentiful and of good 

 quality, selling fairly well. They will 

 help to fill the violet gap at Easter. 

 Bulbous stock is abundant and of ex- 

 cellent quality, still moving slowly. The 

 call for lilies and callas is light. Antir- 

 rhinums are fine and there is a good 

 deal of miscellaneous spring stock which 

 meets with an uncertain demand. 



Various Notes. 



The spring flower show at Horticul- 

 tural hall was the main attraction the 

 last few days and brought the usual 

 attendance of florists and gardeners. 

 Among those from a distance were: C. 

 S. Strout, Biddeford, Me.; J. E. Lager, 

 Summit, N. J.; George F. Struck, Fred- 

 erick W. Kelsey, E. J. Farrington, New 

 York; W. A. Manda, South Orange, 

 N. J. ; J. S. Hay and I. Rosnosky, Phila- 

 delphia; F. C. Green, Warwick, B. I.; 

 S. J. Renter, Westerly, R. I.; O. P. 

 Beckley, Harrisburg, Pa.; T. McCarthy, 

 Providence, R. I.; J. F. Huss, Hartford, 

 Conn. A report of the show appears 

 elsewhere in this issue. 



-A small party of rose enthusiasts ac- 

 companied W. H. Elliott to his Madbury, 

 N. H., establishment March 19. In- 

 eluded in the party were F. E. Palmer, 

 Duncan Finlayson, Patrick Welch, A. E. 

 Eisenhardt, James Sheeler, Eber Holmes 

 and S. J. Renter. The large new house, 

 60x1,000, although planted quite late, 

 was in fine shape. The older house, 

 56x840, also contained an excellent lot
