pips February 15. He says Valentine 

 trade was good. 



Otto Wittbold says the Edgebrook 

 greenhouses are so well filled that there 

 is no room to spare, but, at the rate 

 shipping orders are picking up, the 

 stock will move rapidly from now on. 



"Not one sale of Lorraine on my 

 entire trip. Everyone wants Cincin- 

 nati." This was a remark by J. J. 

 Karins, when in Chicago last week on 

 his way back to Dreer's at Philadel- 

 phia, after a two months' trip on the 

 Pacific coast. 



Visitors: Frank J. Knecht, formerly 

 foreman for W. J. & M. S. Vesey, who 

 is going into the business for himself 

 with a range of six houses; P. Buettner, 

 Hammond, Ind. 



Phoenix, Ariz. — Mrs. E. M. Tyler, 

 formerly proprietor of the Tyler Green- 

 houses, at Sheridan, Wyo., ie making 

 preparations to engage in the florists' 

 trade here. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



In the last week there has been con- 

 siderable business. Society got busy 

 in the few days before Lent and the 

 many social and wedding decorations 

 caused a great deal of work. These, 

 with Valentine 's day business, were 

 enough to keep the trade on the jump 

 all week long, in addition to which a 

 number of large funeral designs were 

 worked up during the week. 



Stock was quite plentiful every day, 

 violets and carnations being specially 

 abundant, and prices went down to 

 $2 per hundred for the best carnations 

 and to 60 cents for the best violets. 

 There are no roses going to waste just 

 now, as these seem to clean up almost 

 daily. Valley dragged somewhat last 

 week and some sold as low as $2 per 

 hundred. Fine lots of lilies are coming 

 in at all the markets, also tulips, Dutch 



hyacinths. Von Sions and a great lot of 

 fancy sweet peas. The weather has 

 been mild and springlike and the whole 

 salers seem to think a great glut of 

 cut stock is due this week. 



Various Notes. 



Carl Beyer, C. C. Sanders, F. C. 

 Weber and C. W. Wors, who recently 

 were reported sick, are again attending 

 to business. 



Julius Koenig, city forester, has re 

 turned from an eastern trip. 



From reports there will be quite a 

 lot of building done by the Kirkwood 

 florists this summer, and some of them. 

 taking advantage of the cheap prices 

 of glass, bought quite heavily last 

 week. 



If business permits, several florists 

 will attend the American Bowling Con 

 gress at Chicago next month. St. Louis 

 will be represented by thirty-five teams 

 and to some of these the several florist 

 bowlers belong.
