all the way to the east end of the house, 

 where it is connected to a coil of five 2- 

 inch pipes in the center, a coil of six 1^- 

 inch pipes on the north side, and a coil of 

 six 1-inch pipes on the south side.

I am not able to determine the trouble 

 with the heating system from the descrip- 

 tion given, "When the houses are on a 

 level tract and an overhead system is 

 used, the highest point of the system is 

 generally near the heater, but if on a 

 side hill it is generally necessary to have 

 the highest point at the part of the 

 system farthest from the heater. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Markeu 



Business is still good in all its 

 branches, judging from reports of the 

 leading retailers, who say they have had 

 an exceptional run of funeral work, and 

 transient trade has also been excellent. 

 The weather is fine and March was 

 ushered in like a lamb, and if we can 

 keep the lion away the planting season 

 will open early this year. Stock of all 

 kinds is rather plentiful; in fact, there 

 is more than one wholesaler can dispose 

 of. Everything in season is to be had, 

 and all the stock seems to be of the best 

 quality. 



In roses the market has plenty just 

 now. All white stock is cleaning up 

 fairly well. All varieties are coming in 

 more freely than for some time back. 

 Carnations are plentiful; in fact, there 

 are more than can be sold. Prices are 

 easy on the fancies in big lots; they 

 go for $1.50 per hundred. California 

 violets have been a glut for the last two 

 weeks and a great many of them had 

 to be dumped. Callas and Harrisii sell 

 well when good. Paper Whites and Ro- 

 mans are more plentiful than in the week 

 previous. Von Sions and jonquils are 

 plentiful, also Dutch hyacinths and free- 

 sias. Sweet peas, also, have been com- 

 ing in too freely to sell clean. 



Asparagus and smilax sold well, also 

 other greens. 



Various Notes. 



E. W. Weisman, of the Drumm Seed & 

 Floral Co., Fort Worth, Texas, spent a 

 few days in the city last week, calling 

 on friends. Mr. Weisman has returned 

 home after a pleasant visit. 



Mrs. C. Smith, mother of W. C. Smith, 

 and mother-in-law of H. V. Hunkel, of 

 Milwaukee, left last week for an ex 

 tended trip to California. During her 

 absence W. C. Smith will give another 

 one of those stags to his many friends. 



It has been reported that some of our 

 Kirkwood growers will take up rose 

 growing this year. Should this go into 

 effect it would be a move in the right 

 direction, as rose growers are scarce in 

 this section. 



Eufus J. Lockland, who for the last 

 twenty years was president of the board 

 of trustees of the Henry Shaw estate, 

 died last week at the age of 90 years. 

 William Trelease, director of the garden; 

 .James Gurney, superintendent of Tower 

 Grove Park, and A. C. Cunningham, secre- 

 tary of the board, were among the 

 honorary pall-bearers. Many beautiful 

 floral designs were seen at the house. 



Otto Sander, who has a pretty store 

 under the Maryland hotel, is more than 

 pleased with the business done since Lent 

 began. Mr. Sander attracts many with 

 artistic window displays.
