W, J. Smith is cutting some good 

 chrysanthemums, which he is shipping 

 to A, W. Smith. He has also added 

 quite a collection of orchids, which he 

 proposes to increase, believing that will 

 be one of the paying stocks for grow- 

 ers for this market. 



Myers & Samtman, of Wyndmoor, 

 Philadelphia, Pa., who walked off with 

 a number of the Beauty prizes at the 

 rose show at Chicago last spring, are 

 shipping quantities of fine Beauties to 

 this market* 



Mr. Koerbel, of Jeannette, Pa., who, 

 with John Bader, has just returned 

 from abroad, has the sympathy of his 

 host of friends in the loss of his father. 



The McCallum Co. reports trade fully 



up to expectations for the first month in 

 business. 



While frosts seem to be reported from 

 many sections, Pittsburg has not up to 

 this date had what could be called a 

 killing frost. 



The subscription book for the William 

 Scott memorial was at the club Tuesday 

 night, but there is still room for the 

 names of any growers in this vicinity 

 who feel that they owe the writings of 

 Mr. Scott anything. They will find the 

 book at the Pittsburg Cut Flower Co.'s 

 for a few days, after which it will be 

 returned.

ST. LOUIS. 



The Market 



There was not much to brag about as 

 to the business done last week. Those 

 who handled plants were busy with dec- 

 orations for fall openings of department 

 stores. There were a few small weddings 

 and a limited amount of funeral work. 

 Some of the leading florists say there is 

 plenty of room for improvement. The 

 \ weather has been favorable, cool and 

 clear, but not as yet a heavy frost. The 

 wholesale houses have been loaded down ' 

 with roses and the high priced grades 

 seem to move slowly. Even Beauties 

 were slow sale. Carnations have been in 

 good demand. These are not overplen- 

 tiful and anything that is choice is 

 cleaned up daily. 



Chrysanthemums are not yet plentiful, 

 but there is no great demand for them 

 as yet. More are promised for this 

 week. A few good California violets are 

 coming in, but not fancy enough to bring 

 anything like a fair price. Cosmos is 

 becoming plentiful and cheap. Extra 

 good valley is in the market. 



The increased sale for roses and chrys- 

 anthemums expected for the Veiled 

 Prophets' ball Tuesday, October 6, failed 

 to materialize. Those who laid in an 

 extra supply say that the demand for this 

 occasion was not half that of former 

 years. 



The growers were busy last week tak- 

 ing in outdoor stock and potting chrys- 

 anthemum plants. Nearly all of them 

 will have some extra fine pot plants this 

 season. 



Qttb Meeting. 



The Florists' Club held its regular 

 meeting in the old rooms at Eleventh and 

 Locust streets, October 8, with a fair 

 attendance. President W. C. Young pre- 

 sided. The trustees were given power 

 to select a new meeting hall. A. W. Mur- 

 ray, retail florist on Easton avenue, made 

 application for membership. Ten appli- 

 cations were voted on and nine received 

 favorable ballots and were declared mem- 

 bers. They were as follows: Julius 

 Koenig, William H. Ossic, Louis Mourer, 

 J. H. Kahrs, O. H. J. Landel, T. P. Barr- 

 man, L. W. Spangler, L, W. Schviever, 

 Sr., and L. W. Schviever, Jr.
