ST. LOOTS. 



The Market. 



Business last week was a great deal 

 better than the week previous among 

 the retailers. The bulk of the work 

 was for funerals. The wholesalers, 

 however, had so much stock on hand 

 that it was impossible to unload it all. 

 Prices have been low right along, but 

 some o| the figures for large lots would 

 not looTc well in print. In looking over 

 the wholesale markets last week,, a big 

 glut in asters was apparent in all va- 

 rieties and grades, but grades were 

 overlooked when large lots were 

 bought. Eoses, too, have been a glut 

 and only the choice grades sell well, 

 but stock is looking better right 

 along. 



Good carnations are scarce and other 

 grades are none too plentiful. Gla- 

 dioli are beginning to let up some; not 

 nearly so many are coming in. Single 

 tuberose stalks are down to $1 per 

 hundred. There is also quite a lot of 

 small outdoor stock. 



Various Notes. 



Fred Alves, of the George H. An- 

 germueller force, says that bachelor life 

 is getting monotonous and that a 

 change will follow soon ^Meh will in- 

 terest the local trade, ife^ refused ^o 

 give the name of the fortunate young 

 lady. 



Frank Fillmore had charge of the 

 flower booth at the Boyal A»3anum 

 carnival at Preister's park all of last 

 week. He was assisted by Mrs. Fill- 

 more and a host of young ladies. It 

 was a big job, but Mr. Fillmore was 

 equal to the occasion. 



Andrew Meyer, Jr., who until re- 

 cently was city forester, is now en- 

 gaged with his father, Andrew Meyer, 

 Sr., who has been for many years in 

 the florists' business on South Jeffer- 

 son avenue, where they have a large 

 following.
