The Florists' Review 



AUOU8T 13, 1914. 



them, the slabs should be somewhat 

 thicker. The exact depth at which the 

 pipes are laid will make little diflference, 

 but the grade should be such that the 

 pipes will drain. 



Just how much such a conduit will 

 cost will depend upon the depth at 

 which the pipe is laid, as well as the 

 cost of pipe, cement, labor, etc., at the 

 place where it is to be used. If the 

 connecting system is properly put in, 

 the results should be satisfactory and a 

 great saving of labor, as well as a con- 

 siderable saving in the cost of heating. 



St. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



The wholesale market last week was 

 in line to furnish almost anything the 

 season afforded, but the demand was 

 far from encouraging. The retailers re- 

 port that if it were not for the funeral 

 work, business would be at a standstill. 

 So far, this summer has proved an 

 exceptionally dull one. The great bulk 

 of stock coming to this market is roses. 

 These are of good quality, but the ma- 

 jority have short stems. Russell, Ward 

 and Killarney Brilliant are among the 

 best. Gladioli are holding full sway, 

 but only the choice ones bring any 

 kind .of price. The common varieties 

 have little sale. There is a large supply 

 of asters of the ordinary grades in 

 white, pink and purple and these hardly 

 bring over $10 per thousand. The light 

 pink stock of Enchantress shade sells 

 best; white also sells well. Easter 

 lilies also were abundant last week. 

 These were sold at 8 cents in small lots 

 and 6 cents in hundred lots. Single 

 tuberose stalks are coming in, but are 

 somewhat scarce on account of the dry 

 weather. 



Various Notes.- 



The St. Louis County Growers' Asso- 

 iation held an interesting meeting 

 August 5 at the Eleven Mile House. 

 President F. Vennemann presided over 

 the meeting, which was well attended. 

 A good deal of important business was 

 transacted. 



W. C. Smith, head of the W. C. Smith 

 Wholesale Floral Co., says that while 

 business always is slow during the sum- 

 mer months, trade for July has been 

 satisfactory. 



A. P. Geranios, secretary of the St. 

 Louis Retail Florists' Association, says 

 they will start holding monthly meet- 

 ings again next month and continue 

 to do so for the fall and winter. 

 Notices will be sent to the members as 

 to time and place. 



Albert Gumz, secretary of the 

 Windier Wholesale Floral Co., has re- 

 turned from his vacation trip. On his 

 return he found quite a number of im- 

 provements had been made in his 

 absence. Frank Windier, head of the 

 concern, will leave August 15 for an 

 eastern trip. 



Frank Fillmore has his place in fine 

 shape. Two of his houses are planted 

 with carnations. Mrs. Fillmore, who 

 has charge of the cut flower department, 

 celebrated her sixty-third birthday last 

 week. Frank Fillmore, Jr., who is out 

 west, is expected to return home this 

 falL 



George Angermueller says that he 

 has had good shipping trade in store 

 and greenhbuse supplies this summer. 

 Fred Alves and Harry Schlechter, who 

 have charge of the cut flower depart- 

 ment, have finished the alterations and

On An Even Basis 



With the installation of the More- 

 head System on your steam lines the 

 condensation is returned to the boiler 

 —placed above ground— pure and hot. 

 Thus you dispense with the anti- 

 Quated "boiler-in-a-pit" method of 

 steam line drainage.

Furthermore you are assured of per- 

 fect circulation-constant, even tem- 

 perature -a saving of time, fuel, labor 

 and heat. These are things worth 

 your careful consideration -they de- 

 cide between heating economy or 

 heating waste, good or poor stock. 



Mr. H. W. Pierce says: 

 "Very satisfactory. Have saved 

 me fully 25 per cent in tuel. Be- 

 sides they save cost of handling 

 ashes and require very little 

 attention."
