The Market. 



Business revived somewhat last week 

 and the trade was quite busy with fu- 

 neral work. The wholesalers had plenty 

 of stock on hand to fill all orders. White 

 and light colored stock cleaned up 

 fairly well, but the darker shades went 

 begging. The market opened up Mon- 

 day morning with a shortage in almost 

 everything, except gladioli, and the 

 price went up on these to 3 cents in 

 small lots and 2% cents in hundred 

 lots. These have been good sellers all 

 season and greatly used by the trade 

 for window decorations. 



Carnations are not of good quality 

 and are becoming scarce, as the grow- 

 ers are cleaning out the old plants. The 

 same can be said about roses, which will 

 be scarce for some time yet. Asters 

 are slow in coming in, also tuberoses. 

 Hydrangeas, sweet peas, cornflowers, 

 larkspurs and other outdoor flowers 

 have a fair demand. There is plenty 

 of green goods. 



Florists' Club Picnic. 



The event of the year among the St. 

 Louis florists took place Thursday after- 

 noon, July 21, at Ramona park. The 

 day could not have been more perfect 

 for an occasion of this kind, and the 

 crowd was one of the largest that ever 

 attended an outing given by the Flo- 

 rists' Club. Trustee Schoenle had to 

 work single-handed, as A. J. Bentzen 

 and Henry Ostertag, owing to business, 

 failed to come out and take a hand, 

 but good assistants were quickly found 

 in Frank "Windier and Al Ganns, who 

 worked faithfully and hard all day. The 

 reception committee, consisting of 

 Frank Fillmore, W. J. Pilcher and J. J. 

 Beneke, also had their hands full, see- 

 ing that all were made comfortable. 



The morning crowd was, as usual, 

 small, but a big crowd streamed in all 

 during the afternoon. A fine band of 

 music and free lemonade were much en- 

 joyed by all, but the exciting feature of 

 the day was the game between the 

 Bentzen and Sanders ball teams. Owing 

 to a late start, only five innings were 

 played and the Bentzen team met their 

 Waterloo. The score was: Sanders 8 

 and Bentzen 2. John Bentzen was un- 

 able to play, owing to a broken finger, 

 but he umpired a fair and square game 

 and says the best team won. 



There were numerous events for 

 young and old and interest at no time 

 lagged. These games were in charge 

 of Charles E. Schoenle, Frank Windier, 

 Al Ganns and J. J. Beneke. The list 

 and winners were as follows:
