fine house of cibotium, our hosts an- 

 nounced lunch. They had a private 

 dining room in a near-by hotel, where 

 forty-two of us were seated and started 

 right. The lunch developed into a ban- 

 quet, and as all were good, strong, hearty 

 fellows, ample justice was done to every- 

 thing. 



After lunch another trolley ride took 

 us to their Stanton avenue greenhouses, 

 where many surprises awaited us. Mr. 

 Randolph startc'd| in '"ihe croton houses, 

 which are his I'^ecial pets, and there 

 were some who said — and they are old 

 men in the business — that while the col- 

 lection is a large one, it is also one of 

 the best in the country in the way of 

 varie ty. There are several houses of 

 terns, all fif Them gofl'd'f'1\6a^es of Chry- 

 -smrthemTims, intrhrding aril of "the commer- 

 ci^ cut flower sorts; gardenias, and all 

 ef the variety of stock found on a retail 

 commercial place. 



Mr, Randolph was congratulated by 

 most of the gardeners on the general 

 appearance of everything, and the fact 



was noted that there was not a rubbishy 

 thing on the whole place. 



The party then went to the residence 

 of Ed Reineman for refreshments and 

 cigars, before going to A. R. Peacock's. 



On arrival at Mr. Peacock's, the gar- 

 dener, Mr. Jenkinson, did the honors 

 and showed us a strictly up-to-date 

 private place, with orchids in variety, 

 chrysanthemums, roses, carnations, cyc- 

 lamens, which he does particularly well, 

 and other things too numerous to men- 

 tion. 



On getting through here, it was dusk 

 and several other places on the list were 

 postponed for another occasion. 



The general decision was that the 



outing was a grilllH HllueeSB* and the best 



■tnrng ever done by t he r lu b, and if any 



of Jiiat bunch were not members they 



had better get under cover quick. 



Hoo-Hoo. 



The Review will send Scott's Manual 

 post paid for $5.00. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Market 



Trade was fairly good last week. The 

 horse show and several good weddings 

 and receptions used up a lot of first-class 

 stock. The wholesale market was pretty 

 well crowded all of the week, with an 

 abundance of everything in season. It 

 was a hard task to dispose of all of the 

 first and second-class stock that came 

 in. Special fancies were not any too 

 many and found ready sale among the 

 uptown buyers. 



Chrysanthemums are not as yet over- 

 crowding the market and prices are 

 rather high. There are some good Rob- 

 inson and BonnaflPon to be had» Ivory is 

 expected in this week, .also Mr«» Jerome 

 Jones. , : • 



Roses are at their best. Extra long 

 Beauties were not any too many. Other 

 grades in these are also cleaning up well, 

 but Bride, Maid, Richmond, Killarney 

 and others have been plentiful right 

 along. <"arnations, too, were more than
