done by always giving satisfaction to our customeri. 

 "We have every facility for prompt and careful shipment of stock. Besides the cut from our own large greenhouses, 



we have all the stock in the Growers' Market to draw upon. Give us a trial and you will

ones, if potted into a smaller size of 

 pots than your flowering ones, will make 

 strong flowering bulbs another season, 

 fully as good as you can buy. The low 

 price of calla bulbs makes many prefer 

 to purchase them fresh each year, but 

 this is not necessary. C. W. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Market 



There was a little spurt in the business 

 the last week, but it was soon over, only 

 to fall back into tbe old rut. The work 

 done was mostly funeral work and a few 

 small weddings. The market was not 

 short of stock at any time. All four of 

 our commission men had stock enough to 

 fill as large an order as one could give 

 and then have some left over. And the 

 prices are as low as they can be. Any 

 lower would be next to giving them away. 



Carnations are holding up well, Baer's 

 Peoria stock taking the lead in this mar- 

 ket. These are selling much better than 

 roses, as the latter are too plentiful and 



soft. Sweet peas are abundant; in fact, 

 there are too many in the market to get 

 anything like a fair price for them. 

 Peonies are selling well. Cape jasmines 

 are a drug. We are looking for a heavy 

 consignment of outdoor stock for Deco- 

 ration day trade. 



Qub Meeting. 



The Florists' Club held its regular 

 monthly meeting last Thursday after- 

 noon, and, as was expected, the attend-' 

 ance was light. The day being clear and 

 warm, most of the members were busy 

 with planting. President Young and 

 Secretary Bentzen being among the busy 

 ones. Vice-president Angermueller and 

 ex-Secretary Beneke took their places. 

 The meeting opened at 2:30 p. m., with 

 fifteen members present. After the reg- 

 ular opening preliminaries, thp different 

 committees were called upon for reports. 

 The pottery committee could not report 

 a subscription of $10,000 ; they were dis- 

 charged with thanks. The trustees re- 

 ported that they as yet had made no 

 arrangements for the club 's outing. They 



were given full power to act and report 

 full arrangements at the next meeting, 

 as to place, date and program. For the 

 good of the club several places for hold- 

 ing the outing were spoken for. The 

 White City Amusement Garden, near 

 Belleville, spoken for by A. S. Halstead, 

 will be looked iato by the trustees. A 

 general review of the Easter trade was 

 made in a discussion by the members and 

 it was the opinion that this Easter the 

 trade all through was as good as in any 

 previous Easter, only that the lateness 

 this year cut out a good deal of the bulb- 

 ous stock and lilies were too far ad- 

 vanced. 



The question box brought out a lot of 

 pleasant and spirited discussions, which 

 made things quite interesting to the 

 handful of members present. The rest 

 of the afternoon was spent in a near-by 

 cafe, where refreshments and cigars were 

 served, and there was a general talk on 

 the social features of the club.
