 also making a daily show in a promi-

The Market. 



The expected revival of business in 

 the cut flower market did not show 

 itself. Labor day, the opening of 

 schools and the return of summer trav- 

 elers, which generally start the fall sea- 

 son, failed to bring the usual amount 

 of business to the florists. Large con- 

 signments came in daily, with a demand 

 for only about one-third of the stock. 

 Only first-quality stock brought any- 

 thing like a fair price. Left-overs were 

 sold for any price. The growers are 

 complaining of the low prices their stock 

 is bringing, but there is no way out of 

 it with the present business conditions. 



Roses are more plentiful than ever, 

 but most of them are short-stemmed. 

 Killarneys in all varieties form the bulk 

 of the rose supply. Some extra fine 

 Russells and Beauties were seen, as 

 well as some fine Richmonds and Mary- 

 lands. Carnations are more plentiful, 

 but as yet the stems are short and the 

 flowers small. A nice lot of Golden 

 Glow chrysanthemums were noticed in 

 the market last week. There still are 

 lots of asters. Gladioli and tuberoses 

 are coming in daily; the recent heavy 

 rains and cool nights improved their 

 quality. Valley seems scarce. In Easter 

 lilies the supply more than equals the 

 demand. Wild smilax was in great de- 

 mand for fall openings. Other greens 

 are plentiful. 



Club Meeting. 



The St. Louis Florists' Club held its 

 regular monthly meeting September 10, 

 on the grounds of the Sanders Nurseries, 

 in St. Louis county. It proved to be 

 one of the most enthusiastic meetings 

 the club has ever held. The attendance 

 was by far the largest of the year. Ten 

 automobiles, filled with members, ar- 

 rived at the grounds and were met by 

 the host, C. C. Sanders, who took them 

 on an inspection tour of the grounds
