ST. LOUIS. 



The Market 



The market for cut flowers, in whole- 

 sale circles, is fairly good. There was 

 plenty of stock all last week, except 

 roses. These seemed to be off-crop. 

 There is also a good shipping trade re- 

 ported. . 



In reporting the retail trade, I must 

 say that it is not so good as was ex- 

 pected. Outside of funeral work there 

 is little doing and, if stock was anything 

 like plentiful, there would be a glut in 

 the wholesale market. There are a num- 

 ber of social events for this week, which 

 should brighten up the retail trade a 

 bit. Extra long Beauties are scarce in 

 this market, as well as all other roses. 

 Carnations are plentiful, with a good 



demand for all the light colors. Violets 

 are again up to 75 cents per hundred 

 and there are plenty of them for all. 



Bulbous stock in all lines is over- 

 plentiful and quite a lot of Eomans and 

 Paper Whites were dumped last week. 

 There is plenty of valley and some good 

 sweet peas. AH green goods are plenti- 

 ful. 



Qub Meeting. 



The regular meeting of the Florists' 

 Club took place January 14, in the Bow- 

 man building. When President Young 

 called for order there were twenty-two 

 members present, and several visitors. 



J. r. Ammann, J. J. Beneke and 

 George H, Angermueller were appointed 

 a committee on resolutions on the death 

 of Carew Sanders, which were read and 

 adopted. 



The committee on the smoker was 

 given full power to act and announced 

 the date of the smoker as February 11. 

 Julius Schafer, manager for Grimm & 

 Gorley, was elected to membership in the 

 club. 



On motion it was decided to hold the 

 club's annual carnation meeting next 

 month. All growers who have new 

 varieties will be invited to send exhibits, 

 the club agreeing to pay all express 

 charges. The trustees were instructed 

 to look for a new meeting hall. 



For the good of the club, a general 

 review of the Christmas business was 

 taken, which brought out the facts that 

 it was twenty-five per cent better than 

 the year previous, and the plant trade 

 was even better. The question box 

 brought out good discussion.
