The Market 



Last week was not a busy one for the 

 local store men. They say that, except 

 for funeral work, it would have been 

 mighty dull. At the wholesale houses, 

 too, there is but little business going on, 

 and the only demand, they say, is for 

 white stock. 



A good, soaking rain is needed, as out- 

 door stock is suffering greatly. The 

 weather has become cooler and ship- 

 ments are coming much better. On look- 

 ing over the stock at the wholesale 

 houses Monday morning, August 23, how- 

 ever, we found but little coming in. 



Boses are looking better and some 

 splendid Beauties, pink and white Cochets 

 and Killarneys are seen. More carna- 

 tions are coming in, but the quality 

 shows little improvement. The stems 

 are extremely short, but the color shows 

 better than last week. 



Extra good valley and lilies are to be 

 had. Asters seem to be a failure this 

 season and have become scarce, though 

 usually at this time of the year the 

 market is glutted with them. Gladioli 

 are not of as good a quality of late. 

 Tuberose stalks are still a glut and are 

 selling cheap. There is a lot of other 

 outdoor stuff coming in, which has a slow 

 demand. 



Smilax is selling fairly well, and also 

 all other greens, of which this market 

 has a good supply. 



Variottf Note*. 



The majority of the St. Louis delega- 

 tion have returned home from the Cincin- 

 nati convention, and all express them- 

 selves as having had a great time. The 

 Cincinnati boys are entitled to much 

 praise for the way they entertained their 

 guests, and the twenty-fifth convention 

 of the society will long be remembered 

 by those who fittended it. 



Charles Kuehn is this week visiting 

 his parents in Detroit, having gone there 

 directly from the convention. He was 

 high man on his bowling team and lost 

 the diamond medal by eleven pins. 



A report comes from the other side 

 of the pond that Mr. and Mrs. Theo. 

 Miller are both sick in Berlin. Their 



Moire Ribbons are the thing 



We are making some beautiful numbers. 



The florist who is keeping ahead can use 

 these ribbons, the plain taffetas and satin taffetas and chiffons. Samples 

 and prices will prove to you that ribbons bearing the Pine Tree Brand 



Label are the best for your work.

many friends here hope for their speedy 

 recovery and safe return home. 



The old flower woman, Mary Dennis, 

 a familiar character in the wholesale dis- 

 trict, attempted suicide on Friday, Au- 

 gust 20. The doctors say she will not 

 recover. 



Word received from George Waldbart, 

 who is traveling in Europe, says that he 

 arrived safely in London and is having 

 the time of his life. His return is not 

 expected much before October 1. 



Next week will end the early closing 

 at the wholesale houses, which has been 

 the custom for the last two months. 

 They are looking for an early revival of 

 business this year. 



Mr. and Mrs. Henry G. Berning are 

 visiting in old Kentucky this week. They 

 left at the close of the convention and 

 expect to be home by the end of this 

 week. 



A great many of our local greenhouse 

 men who are putting up new houses have 

 decided to use George B. Windier 's new 

 device for holding up concrete benches. 



Mr. and Mrs, James Young and Mrs. 

 John Young and family returned home 

 Saturday, August 21, after a month's 

 stay at Atlantic City, N. J. All are en- 

 joying the best of health. 



City Forester Andrew Meyer, Jr., re- 

 ports that, owing to lack of funds, the 

 spraying of trees throughout the city 

 will have to be abandoned. 



George Ostertag gave his friends much 

 pleasure, by appearing again among 

 them, having recovered from his sick- 



ness, though he lost many pounds in 

 weight. 



The bowling contest at Cincinnati was 

 one of the best managed affairs that the 

 S. A. F. ever had and the bowlers are all 

 singing the praises of Col. Ed Winterson, 

 who managed the bowling. 



The dates, of the fall flower show, to 

 be given by the St. Louis Horticultural 

 Society, have been decided upon. The 

 show will be held in the new Coliseum 

 and will last four days, November 9 to 

 12. This year's show promises to be the 

 best and largest ever held by the society. 

 A fruit exhibition will be held in con- 

 junction with the show. The next meet- 

 ing of the executive committee will be 

 held the ■ second Tuesday in Septembcur, 

 for further developments. J. J. B. 



Last week John Myflot purchased the 

 lot at 315 to 321 Florissant avenue. The 

 property has a frontage of seventy feet 

 on Florissant and seventy-five feet on 

 Bernays avenue, with a depth of 200 

 feet. On the former front there are four 

 stores, while on the latter Mr. Myflot will 

 erect a modern range of greenhouses. 

 This property immediately adjoins a 

 strip 50x200 already occupied by Mr. 

 Myflot. The price paid is said to have 

 been $10,000, and the contemplated im- 

 provements will cost as much more.
