week from Winter, Ude and other Kirk- 

 wood growers. 



The directors of the Henry Shaw es- 

 tate have decided to grade a large tract 

 of land belonging to the estate, from 

 Grand and Lafayette avenues, west, with- 

 in the next year. These improvements 

 will cause the removal of florists Eggel- 

 ing, Biessen and Burdett, who occupy 

 pjtfts of this tract with greenhouses. 



Mrs. M. M. Ayers and George Wald- 

 bart, on Grand avenue, are showing a 

 fine lot of azaleas in full bloom, which 

 are attracting some attention. 



The Florists' Club members should not 

 forget that on next Thursday afternoon, 

 April 9, the regular monthly meeting 

 takes place in the new meeting hall, 

 Eleventh and Locust streets, at 2 o 'clock. 

 A discussion on "Easter Stock" will 

 be one of the features. J. J. B. 



"While in the city on business, March 

 25, Thomas J. Brown, a florist of Jef- 

 ferson City, Mo., called on Miss Ger- 

 trude Eaton, to whom he was to have 

 been married April 20, and persuaded 

 her to elope with him to Clayton, where 



they were married by Eev. Walter Lang- 

 try.

The Market 



We have had a touch of summer 

 weather and the markets were flooded 

 with roses. Grand stock, too, but prices 

 fell. The demand could not keep pace 

 with the supply. March 28 found every- 

 thing at low ebb, and notwithstanding 

 a week of tremendous funeral work, fare- 

 well floral demonstrations at the opera 

 and elaborate dinners to princes and 

 such, there was always enough and to 

 spare. The display of roses in all the 

 wholesale houses Saturday afternoon 

 looked like an echo of the convention of 

 the rose society. 



Sunday night the last breath of winter 

 blew in, as was inevitable after such 

 unseasonable heat, and on Monday the 

 temperature had gone back to freezing 

 again. It will be fortunate for all if 

 the chill north wind blows steadily for 

 a week or two. Otherwise, everything 

 will be oS crop for Easter; even vio- 



lets, which we fondly hope to see make 

 one last kick before they die. Some say 

 75 cents will be top for them at East- 

 er. Their quality shows already the 

 effect of the warm spell, and as to 

 prices, wagon loads of them went to the 

 Athenians at $1 a thousand. Not so, 

 however, with the single violet, which 

 at last has asserted its sway. Fine 

 long-stemmed, large flowered stock I 

 noticed at McConnell's sind other retail 

 stores, going readily at $2 to $3 a bunch. 

 But the good old days when Louise 

 brought $3 a hundred, wholesale, seem 

 gone beyond recall. 



The southern daffodils are everywhere. 

 I saw the best of them selling at 5 cents 

 a bunch Saturday. They are arriving 

 in splendid condition and there must be 

 millions of them. No one seems to want 

 bulbous flowers. Tulips, hyacinths, 

 freesias, valley even, display their charms 

 in vain. Lilies are abundant; callas, 

 never finer. Prices are low. Easter 

 probabilities are about the same as last 

 year and eVery year. Quality talks 12 

 cents; the next grade is 10 cents, and 

 in large lots, I have heard of orders 

 booked on and off the plants at $80 a
