Various Notes. 



E. J. Pancourt, of S. S. Pennock- 

 Meehau Co., Philadelphia, called on the 

 trade last week. Mr. Fancourt is one 

 of the favorites of the many traveling 

 salesmen who visit this city. 



E. W. Guy and Henry Emunds, both 

 of Belleville, paid a visit to the trade 

 here last week. They report satisfactory 

 business since Lent set in. 



Louis Gieger has given up his Mary- 

 land avenue store and is now in the em- 

 ploy of Grimm & Gorly at their Wash- 

 ington avenue store. Mr. Gieger has 

 charge of the designing department and 

 is a first-class man when it comes to 

 making up good work. 



C. De Wever, of Clayton, spent a few 

 days in Chicago last week. Mr. De Wever 

 is going into the importing business in 

 the plant and bulb line. His brother is 

 a large grower in Holland. 



W. H. Kruse, the well known Arsenal 

 street florist, says that his business has 

 been good since Lent began. He had a 

 busy week in funeral work. 



W. J. Pilcher, of Kirkwood, has had 

 grand success with his new violet. It 

 blooms more freely than any of the other 

 varieties and has stems exceeding those 

 of the Princess of Wales and always 

 brings double the price of the California 

 violets. 



C, Young & Sons Co. is making a 

 grand show of white lilacs, azaleas, 

 Easter lilies and other fine spring bloom- 

 ing plants. James Young says they are 

 making preparation for handling a large 

 spring seed trade. Their new catalogue 

 is the handsomest they have yet issued. 



The Florists' Club's trustees, Messrs. 

 Bentzeu, Ostertag and Schoenle, all prom- 

 ise to be at the next club meeting, which 

 will be pleasing news to the rest of the 

 officers. 



William Ellison, of the Ellison Floral 

 Co., says they have been furnishing flow- 

 ers for a great many stag dinners at the 

 St. Louis Gub since the Lenten season 

 began.

west end florists for a meeting of retail 

 florists to be held at the Washington 

 hotel March 2, for the purpose of Con-

 The Florists ' bowlers have a good time

 for the bowling nights. The regular at-

 Young, Jr. All are welcome. 



Easter lilies among our local growers 

 are reported in fine shape, though they 

 claim some will be late, owing to Easter 

 coming early this year. A.-- Jablonsky 

 will have a fine lot of them in time. C.
