will add a house 32x200 to his plant 

 the coming season. 



William Sim is now getting a heavy 

 crop of violets, not as numerous as a 



year ago, but the higher prices make 



financial returns as good. His sweet 

 peas are improving daily. 



Bemember the flower show at Hor- 

 ticultural hall January 16. Carnations 

 will be one of the leading specialties.

 grade of tulips and .Golden Spur nar-

 Lilium longiflorum and speciosum. 



Helen Goddard carnation as grown by 

 S. J. Goddard is still the finest carna- 

 tion of its color as seen at the Park 

 Street market. 



Welch Bros, are having a good season 

 and shipping trade is exceptionally good. 



H. R. Oomley, who established a 

 flower store some time ago at 6 Park 

 street, is being well patronized. 



The Boston delegation to the carnation 

 convention in Indianapolis will leave the

 and receptions, W. N. Craig. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Market 



We are having some real winter 

 weather, but business is reported as 

 good, especially among those who dec- 

 orate for large receptions and weddings ; 

 they have been unusually busy with this 

 sort of work since the first of the year. 

 The downtown stores have been excep- 

 tionally busy with funeral work. 



Supply was heavy last week in all 

 lines, especially carnations, of which 

 white and Enchantress sold best. Some 

 pink and red were left over. Boses were 

 not so plentiful and cleaned up fairly 



well each day. Good Beauties were in 

 demand. Romans and Paper White nar- 

 cissi are plentiful. Violets sold well and 

 there was plenty last week for all de- 

 mands. Smilax and galax are selling 

 well, as well as all other greens. 



Vaiiotu Notes. 



C. Young & Sons Co. decorated for 

 the big Imperial Club ball at the St. 

 Louis Club last week. This is one of 

 the large society events each year. 



The Ellison Floral Co. will this week 

 furnish the decorations for the Nugent 

 ball, to be held at the St. Louis Club. 

 This is a yearly society event and will 

 use up a lot of fancy stock. 



John Burke, who for the last three 

 years ran a florists' business at 605 

 Locust street, left the city last week 

 without advising any of his friends of 

 his intention. The store has been sold 

 to J. Henry Kahrs. Mr. Kahrs has 

 beert ihanager for Grimm & Gorley for 

 several years and no doubt will make a 

 success of his venture. 



G. Reising, with L. Baumann & Co., 

 Chicago, was a recent caller.
