 ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



The wholesale market last week was 

 glutted with stock all through the week. 

 The glut was mostly in the lower 

 grades; still, the consignments were so 

 large that some of the fancy stock, 

 too, was left over and from the way 

 the store men were buying it looked as 

 though they, too, were having some 

 dull days. 



Arrivals of mums were heavy daily, 

 with many of the late varieties com- 

 ing in, such as Golden Wedding, White 

 and Yellow Ohadwick and Nonin. Fancy 

 Bonnafifon and White Bonnaffon sold 

 well. Some excellent Mrs. Jerome Jones 

 and Yellow Jones were seen; also Eaton 

 and Yellow Eaton. 



Carnations are of excellent quality, 

 with the price hardly over $2 per hun- 

 dred. Enchantress and Beacon sell best. 

 The market had an oversupply last 

 week. Eoses, too, are on full crop. 

 Beauties have fallen off considerably 

 of late in the fancy grades, but in 

 Killarney, Kichmond, Bride, Ivory and 

 Maryland there are more than enough, 

 with a great deal of it really fancy 

 stock which would bring much better 

 prices with the mums out of the way. 

 In large lots, some of this fancy stock 

 was sold as low as $5 per hundred. 

 Violets have been and are in great 

 demand, but stock has been scarce. One 

 man said some time ago that this sea- 

 son would see a scarcity in violets from 

 our Kirkwood growers. As yet no Paper 

 Whites or Romans are being sent in. 

 Valley is fine and sells well, also lilies. 



Prospects for Thanksgiving look 

 good, but chances are there will be a 

 scarcity of stock, though this all de- 

 pends upon the weather. 



Various Notes. 



Albert Gums, of the Angermueller 

 force, reported for duty November 18, 

 after a lay-off for a week on account 

 of sickness. 



Joe Hamerle leased the greenhouses 

 of the Bentzen Floral Co. on Marcus 

 street, and not the Brix plant, as was 

 stated in the issue of November 9. 

 It was Albert Hirlemann who leased 

 the greenhouse plant of the Brix Floral 

 Co., on Mead avenue.

Be sure and send for a FREE No. 10 illus- 

 trated instruction book. It tells all about the 

 different Smooth-On Iron Cements, shows 

 how to use them and we think it will save you 

 money. Every florist should have a copy.

 tain a steady pressure on ttie low side, no matter 

 how the initial pressure fluctuates. By carrying 40 or 50 

 pounds pressure on the boiler and setting the valve to 

 carry 5 or 10 pounds on the line, you always have a
