The Market. 



The condition of the market has 

 changed little since last week. The de- 

 mand has been somewhat better for 

 first-class stock, but the wholesalers 

 have plenty of everything that is sea- 

 sonable. The approach of Memorial 

 day should clean up a great deal of the 

 surplus stock of the wholesalers by the 

 end of the week, when a great deal of 

 shipping trade is looked for by the local 

 retailers, though locally not a great 

 deal of extra work is looked for. At 

 the wholesale houses last week all were 

 loaded down with stock of extra good 

 quality, and also in the lower grades, at 

 prices within the reach of all in small 

 and large lots. This week there are 

 prospects of an abundance of stock in 

 roses and carnations, with plenty of 

 lilies, peonies and cape jasmines. Extra 

 fine valley is selling fairly well. Com- 

 mon ferns have been scarce of late. A 

 great deal of rain last week has kept 

 the plantsmen back in their work. 



Various Notes. 



Pierre Schneider returned last week 

 from Springfield, 111., and is now in full 

 charge of the plant of the Oakland 

 Floral Co., at Kirkwood, Mo. This com- 

 pany is going heavily into growing 

 stock for the local market, which will 

 be handled by C. A. Kuehn. 



Fred Ostertag, who has been on the 

 sick list during the last week, is again 

 at his post with Ostertag Bros. Henry 

 Ostertag, the head of the firm, reports 

 the firm as being busy and they are 

 working overtime in the decorating 

 line. 



John Barnard, until recently with 

 Miss Newman, at Spring and Olive 

 streets, is in the wholesale district each 

 morning. He is contemplating a trip 

 west, if nothing turns up in his line. 



Julius Koenig, who is in the office of 

 City Forester Meyer, has moved and is 

 now living near his old home, next 

 door to the Koenig Floral Co., on Floris- 

 sant avenue. He says the forester's 

 departments have all been busy of 

 late, looking after the sidewalk trees. 



The local seedsmen say that they 

 expect a large delegation this year from
