The Market. 



The warm weather last week had a 

 bad effect on the retail trade and the 

 local market. The wholesalers have 

 been loaded down all the week with 

 everything in season, and with retail 

 demand slow, there naturally has been a 

 slump in values all the way around. 



Cut chrysanthemums are coming in 

 quite heavily and every house is well 

 supplied with fairly good blooms in all 

 the early varieties in white and yellow. 

 Prices did not go over $2 per dozen for 

 the best blooms. Violets, which were 

 coming in fine shape, have been consid- 

 erably hurt by the warm weather last 

 week. 



In roses all varieties suffered last 

 week. There were too many of them 

 in the market and American Beauties 

 especially met with a slow demand, as 



everybody is seeking mums. The small- 

 er roses also piled up daily. Carnations, 

 both white and Enchantress, sold well, 

 but colored stock was left over. Cos- 

 mos became a glut early in the week. 

 Tuberoses, asters and gladioli are about 

 over; fine valley, dahlias and lilies can 

 be had and all greens are in stock and 

 have a good demand. 



Club Meeting. 



Only fifteen members aj;tended the 

 regular monthly meeting of the Flo- 

 rists' Club at Odd Fellows' hall Thurs- 

 day afternoon, October 13. Probably 

 the fine weather kept many growers 

 away, as there is still much outdoor 

 work to do. A much larger attendance 

 is looked for at the next meeting, which 

 will bo held Thursday, November 10, 

 during the week of the flower show. 

 Visiting florists are invited to attend 

 and arrangements are being made for 

 a lunch to be enjoyed after the meet- 

 ing- 

 Applications for membership were 

 filed by Hugo Gross, of Kirkwood; M. 

 P. Widmer, of Highland, 111.; ,Alex P. 

 Geranios, St. Louis, and G. M. Thost, 

 of De Soto. Delinquents who have not 

 paid their dues by the next meeting, 

 will be dropped from the membership 

 list at that time. Fred H. Weber was 

 recommended as state vice-president of 

 the S. A. F. for eastern Missouri, and 

 a vote of thanks was given to H. Jen- 

 nemann for his exhibition of dahlias. 



Now, everybody come to the next 

 meeting, November 10, in Odd Fellows' 

 hall.
