Christmas decorations to put up at sev- 

 eral of the large clubs and a number of 

 churches. 



Miss M. Schnell, the East St. Louis 

 florist, who is quite a heavy buyer in 

 this market, says the east side is becom- 

 ing quite a good flower market and that 

 business has been good all season. 



L. J. Claus has opened the old stand 

 of the Mullanphy Floral Co., at Grand 

 and St. Louis avenues. 



Our wholesalers, Kuehn, Smith, Bem- 

 ing and Angermueller, say they will 

 be pretty well supplied with everything 

 in season for Christmas. Much depends 

 on the weather for prices. J. J. B.

Two years ago Thos. Devoy's Son 

 found a sport from Marie Louise violet, 

 which has been carefully watched and 

 of which there now is suflicient stock to 

 plant a whole house. It has the charac- 

 teristics of the old variety when grown 

 at its best. The bloom is pure lilac, re- 

 sembling the wistaria in color; highly 

 fragrant. The supply of blooms for this 

 season has been secured by Chas. Thor- 

 ley. New York. It is named Marie Elise, 

 after the pretty little daughter of the 

 raiser. Freesia Purity is planted around 

 each bench here; takes up no room and 

 brings a good price. 



Saltford's Flower Shop is making a 

 fine display for Christmas and by the 

 time this is in type will be through the 

 best holiday business yet experienced. 

 They have given up growing violets, 

 although the veteran, W. G. Saltford, 

 pointed to a spot where he made $10,000 

 on Marie Louise in one season. That 

 was going some. Now his hobby is 

 orchids, which he gives personal atten- 

 tion. He showed me a fine plant of Cat- 

 tleya Trianae alba with ten blooms. He 

 has a seedling carnation on the order of 

 but much superior to Mrs. Patten, in 

 that the markings are stronger; a deli- 

 cate blush shade suffuses the entire 

 bloom. It will be exhibited at Pitts- 

 burg and will attract attention as a com- 

 mercial fancy variety. Chrysanthemums 

 are gone, with the exception of John 

 Burton, an excellent incurved pink in fine 

 shape for Christmas. A few were grown 

 for trial and a house will be planted for 

 late use next year. I noted a big batch 

 of Lilium giganteum just potted, on 

 benches. Mr. Saltford is confident, by 

 maintaining a temperature of 60 degrees, 

 he will have all in bloom for Easter; 

 has done it in three months before. This 

 is of value to many who never forced
