The Market. 



Last week was not a brisk one for 

 the local retailers. There was quite a 

 lot of funeral work, but aside from this 

 little was done. The wholesalers say 

 stock moved slowly some days, but 

 there is no overstock of any one thing 

 just now. The prices have kept up 

 fairly well on all first grade stock and 

 there has been a good shipping trade 

 in cut stock and supplies. 



Among the stock seen last week were 

 some extra fancy Killarney, Eichmond 

 and Maryland roses. The Kirkwood 

 growers are, as usual, sending in the 

 bulk of the violets that come to this 

 market. These were quite plentiful all 

 through the week, the best Mazzuras 

 bringing 75 cents, while Californias 

 sell at 40 and 50 cents per hundred, and 

 with clear, cold weather a great crop is 

 expected for the Christmas demand. 



Chrysanthemums are practically over, 

 except for a few excellent blooms of 

 Yellow Jones, Nonin, W. H. Chadwick, 

 Yellow Chadwick and a few small 

 Bonnaffon. Carnations are coming in 

 fine, those from Kirkwood being in the 

 majority in this market with the price 

 up to 3 and 4 cents for fancy grades. 



Paper Whites are plentiful, but Ro- 

 mans are rather scarce. There are a 

 lot of fine lilies to be had and stevia 

 sells well. Cut poinsettias sell at $3 

 per dozen. 



Wild smilax had quite a call last 

 week; in fact, all greens had a good 

 demand. 



Various Notes. 



The Engelmann Botanical Club held 

 its regular monthly meeting Monday 

 evening, December 11. The feature of 

 the meeting was a paper by W. W. 

 Ahlweiler, of the Missouri Botanical 

 Garden, on "Eecent Developments in 

 Our Knowledge of Stomata." 



The Ladies ' Home Circle held its last 

 meeting for this year Wednesday, De- 

 cember 13. Many surprises were in 

 store for those who attended. 



A. S. Halstead, proprietor of the St. 

 Clair Floral Co., Belleville, HI., met 

 with a painful accident recently in fall- 

 ing over a box in one of the green- 

 houses. He was completely laid up for 

 a week, but is out and about again with 

 the aid of a cane and crutch. 



Henry Emunds and E. W. Guy, of 

 Belleville, spent a day here last week 

 and report a good Thanksgiving busi- 

 ness. Mr. Emunds is still cutting fine 

 Chadwick and Nonin musis and expects
