greenhouse, but he now intends to erect 

 one, 38x300, mainly for the propagation 

 of dahlias. He says that the boundaries 

 of the shipping territory for the last 

 named are the Pacific coast, the Gulf of 

 Mexico and the Atlantic ocean. He now 

 has under construction a concrete build- 

 ing, 18x100, which will be used as a ware- 

 house, packing and shipping room and 

 potting shed, with a fine cellar for stor- 

 ing bulbs and roots. 



Varkxis Notes. 



The C. C. PoUworth Co. reports the ar- 

 rival of a carload of azaleas October 9. 



Walter Hummel, Wauwatosa, who until 

 recently gave most of his time to land- 

 scape gardening and only had one green- 

 house, 20x100, added two more, each 25x 

 150, this summer. These he has planted 

 with carnations of the following varie- 

 ties: Enchantress, White Perfection, 

 White Enchantress, Beacon and a few 

 small lots of several other kinds. 



Fred Holton and Nic Zweifel returned 

 Sunday morning from their six days' trip 

 to Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minn. They 

 have only words of praise of what they 

 saw. In fact, they were surprised to see 

 such high-grade cut flowers and pot 

 plants, and what was more pleasant was 

 the hospitality accorded them from all 

 sides. "Why, we were treated like 

 kings," is the way they expressed them- 

 selves. Mr. Zweifel was also well im- 

 pressed with the beautiful scenery, in- 

 cluding the many lakes, and spoke much 

 of the good roads, which he stated were 

 ahead of those in the Badger State. 



E. O. 



Walter M. Maas, formerly connected 

 with the Currie Bros. Co. and the Mc- 

 Kenny Co., and Miss Jean M. Sheriffs, 

 who also was formerly connected with 

 the latter concern, have opened a new 

 florists' establishment under the name of 

 Walter M. Maas & Co., at 128 Oneida 

 street, in the Cary building. Mr. Maas 

 had charge of the outside decorating 

 work of the McKenny Co. and also did 

 all the buying for that concern. 



One of the events of the week was the 

 arrival of a pair of fine twin girls at the 

 home of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. PoUworth. 

 The father is doing well, the mother and 

 daughters are progressing splendidly ancl 



report has it Uncle Clem has not yet 

 touched earth. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Market 



Centennial week brought considerable 

 work to those in the trade who do dec- 

 orating,* but the cut flower trade was 

 not helped much by the great crowds 

 that gathered here last week. The lead- 

 ers in the trade say that outside of fu- 

 neral work, a few dinners and small wed- 

 dings, it was rather dull at times. The 

 Veiled Prophet's ball did not cut any 

 special figure in the trade, as it did in 

 former years; few flowers were worn by 

 the ladies present. 



The market, however, was at all times 

 during the week well supplied with all 

 seasonable stock, and there seems to be 

 plenty of it, except carnations, and they 

 are in good demand. Boses are most 

 plentiful. Of these. Beauties sell better 

 than any of the other varieties at pres- 

 ent. Chrysanthemums are selling up 

 clean, but there are not a great many of 

 them coming in yet. Cosmos is now 

 coming in quite heavily. California vio- 

 lets are more plentiful. A few good 

 asters are still coming in. A fine lot of 

 dahlias are being sent in by local grow- 

 ers. Everything in greens is plentiful, 

 except good smilax. 



Various Notes. 



J. F. Ammann, of Edwardsville, 111., 

 with his family, was in the city last week 

 for the Veiled Prophet's parade and the 

 lecture of Dr. Cook, the north pole dis- 

 coverer. 



Mrs. M. S. Vesey, of Fort Wayne, 

 Ind., spent Centennial week in the city 

 and was the guest of Miss T. Meinhardt. 



Max Hotter, the North Broadway 

 florist, has returned from Europe, where 

 he spent the last four months. 



F. H. Meinhardt and O. G. Koenig 

 spent a few days at the Springfield fair 

 as judges of the cut flower exhibits. 

 They returned in time for the dedication 

 of Fairground park. 



The following florists had floats in the 

 business men's parade last week: A. 

 Brix, Bentzen Floral Co., H. J. Weber 

 & Sons Nursery Co. and Grimm & Gor- 

 ley. The floats were handsome and at-
