Easter Lilies 



We are cutting now an average of 1000 Lilies per day. Very choice stock, large 

 flowers, long stems and fine foliage. They are the best flowers in the market and are 

 in great demand during this severe shortage of Beauties and Roses. We are selling 

 them at $15.00 per 100 or $2.00 per doz. Buy direct of the grower and get fresh stock. 



American Beauties, Roses, Fancy Carnations, 

 Tulips, Daffodils, Valley, Easter Lilies and Greens. 



^rite us for our Weekly Price List. We keep you potted on the market.

qtiite plentiful and they say that stock 

 cleaned up nicely all last week. 



Roses have been scarce, and will be for 

 some time, as all the shippers to this mar- 

 ket, as well as the local growers, are off 

 crop. All the Kirkwood growers have had 

 a big supply of carnations and violets, and 

 the chances are that a glut is on for this 

 week in these. January 24 the market 

 was oversupplied with these, many more 

 in evidence than the demand called for. 

 There are also too many Paper Whites, 

 as well as Eomans. Harrisii and callas 

 are coming in freely. Sweet peas seem 

 to have a good call, but there is a good 

 supply in pink, white and lavender. Wild 

 •milax is ' selling well, also all other 

 greens, 



Variou* Notes. 



L. A. Gieger, who is running the old 

 stand of Michel Plant & Bulb Co., on 

 Maryland avenue, says he is well satisfied 

 with the business now being done. 



Among those of our suburban florists 

 who called last week were J. F. Ammann, 



Edwardsville ; Henry Johann, Collinsville, 

 and Adolph Fehr, Belleville. All were 

 much pleased with the business since the 

 first of the year. 



Miss Mathilda Meinhardt left for Fort 

 Wayne, Ind., last week on a visit to Mrs. 

 W. J. Vesey. Miss Meinhardt will spend 

 about two weeks at Fort Wayne. 



Henry Lorenze, who runs the Park 

 Floral Co., was taken to a sanitarium last 

 week. 



The sale of the Michel Plant & Bulb 

 Co. 's bankrupt stock to Jules Bourdet 

 Monday, January 17, did not hold good, 

 so Receiver Frank Coleman advertised it 

 for sale at auction Monday, January 24, 

 for the second time. This time it was 

 sold in lots, and did not bring nearly 

 as much as the Bourdet price. The 

 greenhouses are held under a deed of 

 trust by the Jefferson Bank for $6,000. 



The Florists' BowUng Club, with John 

 Connon as president and W. C. Snaith as 

 secretary and treasurer, has been revived, 

 and a number of florist bowlers were out 

 Monday night, January 17, for a good 



time, at Sarah and Delmar alleys. They 

 bowl there every Monday night. 



The Schisler-Corneli Seed Co., St. 

 Louis Seed Co., Plant Seed Co., D. I. 

 Bushnell & Co., and Tinsley Seed Co. are 

 making preparations for a big spring 

 business and are making improvements to 

 handle the trade. 



Walter Eetzer, of the Plant Seed Co., 

 returned recently from a western business 

 trip for his firm. 



C. Young & Sons Co. has issued the 

 spring catalogue of plants, seeds and 

 bulbs. A large shipping trade in this line 

 is done. 



The St. Louis Horticultural Society 

 held its annual meeting at the Odeon 

 building, January 20, and reelected the 

 old officers. The executive committee will 

 meet soon and decide as to the advisabil- 

 ity of holding a spring flower show. 



Visitors last week included F. J. Far- 

 ney, of M. Eice & Co., Philadelphia; Fred 

 Lembke, of W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago ; 

 J. White, of E. M. Ward & Co., New 

 York. - J. J. B.
