The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



January 6, 1910. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Market 



Since Christmas the market has been 

 steady, but nothing rushing, as New 

 Year's trade is not nearly so large as 

 Christmas. Still quite a good business 

 is reported by the uptown florists, where 

 cut flowers sold well, but at prices not 

 nearly as high. The weather was just 

 the opposite of a week ago, and it was 

 warm like a spring day, which made 

 transient business good. It also made 

 good business for the cemetery florists, 

 who a week ago were all snowed in, with 

 the glass down to zero. Our wholesalers 

 were well supported with cut stock all 

 week, with plenty of everything in sea- 

 son, except violets, which sold up clean 

 every day. 



Carnations were more than enough, 

 with the top price at $4 per hundred for 

 choice fancies. There was a great 

 amount of fine stock in, but the bulk of 

 it was in the poor grades. Boses have 

 been selling well all week, with hardly 

 an oversupply any day during last week. 

 The price on these iS also down a few 

 cents. Long, fancy Beauties are down 

 to $5 and $6 per dozen, and plenty of 

 them in all grades. In bulbous stock, 

 Romans, Paper Whites and valley are 

 most plentiful, there being more than 

 the demand can use at present. A few 

 late chrysanthemums came in , for the 

 holidays, but had no demand. 



From now on until Lent there should 

 be much social activity, as several of the 

 west end florists have a number of these 

 events booked ahead. 



Various Notes. 



E. W. Guy, of Belleville, called on the 

 trade last week and reports a good 

 Christmas business for the Belleville flo- 

 rists. The bad weather, as in all other 

 places, kept the business down somewhat. 



Charles Schoenle, of the Schoenle Flo- 

 ral Co., says that his firm had a splendid 

 Christmas trade and did well New 

 Year 's. 



Max Herzog has about completed his 

 new place at California avenue and Sid- 

 ney street. Mr. Herzog expected to open 

 before New Year's, but will hardly be 

 open for business before the last of this 

 month. The place looks attractive, and 

 he should do well from the start, as he 

 will have little competition in this neigh- 

 borhood. 



Dr. Loms Krautter, professor of bot- 

 any in the University of Pennsylvania, 

 who froze to death in a New Jersey bliz- 

 zard last week, was well known here. 

 His wife was the daughter of W. H. 

 Brockman. The funeral took place in 

 Philadelphia Friday, December 31. 



William Bouche, one of our best land- 

 scape gardeners, will visit New York at 

 an early date to make plans for laying 

 out a big estate. Mr. Bouche is one of 

 the few artists in his line of work. 



Frederick L. Bruenig, father of Mrs. 

 Henry Berning, died, after a long illness, 

 Wednesday, December 29. Further par- 

 ticulars will be found in the obituary 

 column. 



Otto Sanders, one of the newest down- 

 town florists, located in the Maryland 

 Hotel building, says his first Christmas 

 businesa.was more thgn he expected, .Mr. 

 Sanders sent out some neat advertising 

 matter. 



Ostertag Bros, had a few fancy club 

 decorations for New Year 's callers, which 

 kept them quite busy during the holiday 

 week. A large, fashionable wedding is 

 booked for this month.
