week of three steamers containing large 

 consignments of Easter and other flo- 

 erton one day last week. Phil. 



ST. LOUIS, 



The Market 



Last week was clear and warm. At 

 the wholesale houses everything in season 

 appeared to be a glut; the market went 

 all to pieces the last three days of the 

 week. There was a fair amount of work 

 going on among the retailers, but the 

 supply was so great that the demand 

 could not consume all the stock consigned 

 to our four wholesalers. Even. roses went 

 begging. These have been scarce up to 

 the last week. Now there are too many 

 in all varieties. 



Carnations sold as low as $10 per 

 thousand in the fancy grades, and com- 

 mon as low as $5 in thousand lots. All 

 varieties were still piling up Monday, 

 February 8. Callas are in abundance 

 and selling slowly. There are plenty of 

 tulips, freesias, Eomans and Paper 

 Whites for all demands, and selling at a 

 low price. Extra good, long sweet peas 

 are selling well; in fact, there is a 

 demand for them. California violets 

 have been coming in heavily and are 

 down to $3 per thousand for the best 

 long-stemmed ones. 



The green market is in keeping with 

 the cut flowers — plenty of everything. 



Various Notes. 



Thomas Salverson, Petersburg, III,, was 

 a caller last week. 



Fred H, Weber did jury duty last 

 week. He says that during January he 

 had a splendid business in all kinds of 

 work. 



The Gallagher Flower Shop has closed 

 its downtown branch, at Eighth and Olive 

 streets. The recent cold snap froze out 

 a house of callas and azaleas. 



William Ossic is again on duty with 

 the W. C, Smith Wholesale Floral Co.; 

 though on crutches, he makes the best 

 of his recent mishap of a sprained foot. 



George Schriefer, of C. A. Kuehn's, 

 is now a member of the Newlyweds' 

 Bowling Club and is the only bachelor 

 on the team, but says it will not be 

 long before he joins the other members. 



Julius E. Schaefer opened his new store 

 Monday, February 8, at 111 North Sixth 

 street, with a grand opening and music, 

 presenting each visitor with a handsome 

 souvenir. A large crowd was in attend- 

 ance all day. 



Pred Ammann, of Edwardsville, HI., 

 was a caller February 5. He went to 

 Champaign, February 8, to attend the 

 meeting of the advisory board. He re- 

 ports a good trade at his Alton and Ed 

 wardsville places. 



Henry Ostertag, of Ostertag Bros., 

 reports that they have the decorations 

 for the big Cinderella ball, which takes 

 place February 11 in the Coliseum. Tins
