ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



The wholesale markets were again 

 crowded every day during the last week 

 with stock of poor quality, especially 

 roses, which are coming in soft and 

 wide open. Prices are greatly reduced 

 on all grades. Judging by the amount 

 of stock that is left over each morning 

 and by .reports from the leading re- 

 tailers, trade passed through a mighty 

 dull week. The month of June — that 

 is, up to the closing of the schools — 

 should be a busy one for the local flo- 

 rists. A number of large June wed- 

 dings have been booked by the uptown 

 florists. 



The hot weather of last week had its 

 effect on cut stock and the business in 

 general. A glance over the markets on 

 Monday, May 22, showed them to be 

 loaded down with carnations, sweet 

 peas, peonies, gladioli and roses, and 

 the trade buying sparingly. Carnations 

 of best quality bring only $10 per thou- 

 sand and sweet peas are as low as $1.50 

 per thousand for choice stock. Eoses 

 are not over $4 for the best. Peonies 

 are overplentiful, and some were 

 dumped for want of demand. There is

Various Notes. 



Norman J. Coleman celebrated his 

 eighty-fourth birthday May 16, at his 

 home, 5499 Delmar boulevard. Mr. 

 Coleman is well known throughout the 

 country as editor of Coleman 's Rural 

 World. He was at one time lieutenant- 

 governor of Missouri and was secretary 

 of agriculture under President Cleve 

 land. He was once president of the 

 American Association of Nurserymen, 

 who meet here next month, when he 

 expects to meet many of his old friends. 

 He was at one time in business here 

 with the late Carew Sanders, the firm 

 being known as Coleman & Banders. 

 He is still hale and hearty and attends 

 to his duties daily as editor of his 

 paper. 



According to some of our leading 

 seedsmen, a large number from here 

 will attend the American Seed Trade 

 Association's meeting, which will take

 had an exceptionally good business this 

 year, so a week or so of recreation in
