The Market. 



Trade was not as good last week as 

 the week before. There is still a lack of 

 steadiness among the retailers, and some 

 of our leading store men say that about 

 half of the week was good, while the 

 other half was slack. The principal work 

 done by the north and south and down- 

 town florists is for funerals, while the 

 west-enders' work is for weddings, din- 

 ners and other social work. 



At our wholesale houses last week all 

 had an abundance of stock in roses, 

 carnations and chrysanthemums, with de- 

 mand light during the last three days 

 of the week. As to prices, all grades 

 were selling low. The wholesaler was 

 compelled to do this in order to dispose 

 of his consignments. 



Violets have been in demand, and the 

 few that come clean up pretty well. 

 Lily of the valley has had a fair de- 

 mand. 



In roses the quality is fine, especially 

 in Ivory, Chatenay, Potter Palmer, Bride 

 and Maid. American Beauties were plen- 

 tiful, Avith extra specials at $3 per 

 dozen. Carnations, too, are fine, with 

 Rose-pink and White Eni-hantress among 

 the fancies. Nelson Fisher, Lawson and 

 Perfection come next. Chrysanthemums 

 are in abundance, Avith all the late vari- 

 eties in. Some extra fine blooms of 

 Eaton, Bonnaflfon and Morel were seen. 

 All sorts of greens are to be had. Smi- 

 lax and asparagus have a good call. 



Club Meeting. 



The regular monthly meeting of the Flo- 

 rists ' Club took place Thursday night. 

 November 12. This is the first night meet- 

 ing the dub has held for many years, 

 and it did not prove a great success, 

 there being onlv fourteen members pres- 

 ent out of a membership of nearly 100. 

 It was thought that the large number of 

 new members, mostly employees, admit- 

 ted at the October meeting would take 

 advantage of the night meetings, this 

 night being especially chosen for them, 

 but none showecl up. The meeting was 

 held in the Knights of Columbus hall.

at Grand and Olive streets, and opened 

 at 8:30, with President Wm. C. Young in 

 the chair. J. J. Bcneke acted as secre 

 tary in the absence of Mr. Bentzen. 



A. W. Murray was elected to mem- 

 bership, and William Mackle made appli- 

 cation through F. H. Weber. It was de- 

 cided to have an annual smoker, and the 

 chair appointed Messrs. Angermueller, 

 Schoenle and Beneke a committee to 



prepare for a smoker and report arrange- 

 ments at the next meeting. 



The president called on several mem- 

 bers who visited the national show, at 

 Chicago, for short talks. The treasurer's 

 report showed the club to be in good 

 financial condition. The question box 

 brought out a good discussion, which 

 dosed the meeting.
