side of a carnation house was blown in. 

 He was lucky in having an old carpet 

 around to cover up the wreck. 



K. F. Tesson, formerly prominent in 

 the business and who now runs a dairy 

 farm out in the country, is a happy 

 father. It's a girl, Eobert says, and all 

 are well and happy. 



Friday, January 29, McKinley Carna- 

 tion day, the local trade laid in a big 

 supply of pink carnations, but the bliz- 

 zard and zero weather blasted the hope 

 of the retailers. 



The Florists' Club's trustees and the 

 entertainment committee met last week 

 and perfected all arrangements for the 

 smoker to be held on the evening of 

 February 11, and invitations will be sent 

 out this week. 



Julius Schaefer will open a retail store 

 next week on Sixth street, between Pine 

 and Chestnut streets. Of late Mr.

 phia, was a visitor last week. 



President W. C. Young, of the Flo- 



rists' Club, has been under the doctor's

The St. Louis Florists' Club's regular 

 monthly meeting will take place next

 take place at 3 o'clock, and at 5 p. m. 

 the entertainment committee will take 

 members and visitors to a nearby cafe, 

 where a supper will be served, which will 

 be followed by an entertainment and 

 smoker, which the committee says will 

 be something out of the ordinary.

The Market. 



After the holidays and up to January 

 18 business was aJmost at a standstill, 

 when all of a sudden came a rush of 

 business, and it has been lively since 

 then. Roses and carnations have been 

 rather short and prices have held up 

 well. 



McKinley day was such a disagreeable 



one that not nearly the number of car- 

 nations were worn that would have been 

 worn on a nice day. All conductors and 

 motormen on street cars wore carnations, 

 presented by their employers. 



Various Notes. 



Ben Kramer had a large picture of 

 McKinley, tastefully decorated, in his 

 window. 



C. Niednagel has a white seedling car- 

 nation that looks good. The flower is 

 very large. 



E. L. Fenton, of Royston & Fenton, is 

 wearing a pleased smile. It is an eleven- 

 pound boy, born January 12. 



Royston & Fenton are going to give 

 My Maryland a trial. They expect to 

 build an addition to their place this 

 spring. E. L. F. 



Concord, Mass. — Wilfrid Wheeler,

 ernoon, January 21.
