ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



The market last week was in a fairly 

 good condition, with plenty of stock 

 to go around. The demand was not 

 rushing; still, stock moved as well as 

 could b'e expected at this time of the 

 year. The demand is mostly for white 

 flowers, as the retailers report that fu- 

 neral work is about all the business 

 that is going on and some days not 

 even that. 



Our wholesalers are in the midst of 

 alterations and all expect to be fully 

 prepared by September 15 to handle all 

 the trade that comes their way. The 

 stock seen is not of the best "^ quality 

 at present. Gladioli are slowing up 

 and tuberoses are arriving in big lots. 

 There ts not the usual glut of asters, 

 but they seem to clean up pretty well 

 each day. 



Eoses are soft, but the best sell well. 

 The same can be said of carnations. 

 Giganteum lilies sell well and the de- 

 mand for greens has been good. 



Various Notes. 



Most of those who represented St. 

 Louis at the S. A. F. meeting at Eoch- 

 ester last week are loud in their praise 

 of the hospitality of the Eochester flo- 

 rists. The election of j| our friend, 

 George Asraus, as president of the S. 

 .\. F. was well received here, as he 

 has a host of friends in the local trade. 

 Baltimore, too, suits us as the next 

 meeting place, for we can feel sure 

 of being in good hands when we at- 

 tend the next S. A. F. meeting. 



Sam Freund, representing A. A. Ar- 

 nold, Chicago, called on the trade here 

 last week, with florists' folding box 

 specialties. , . 



T. W. Carlton, of Alvin, Tex., was 

 a visitor last week. Mr. Carlton is a 

 big shipper of cape jasmines to this

 the ladies to the next meeting, which
