ST. LOUIS. 



The Market 



The market showed a great deal of 

 activity last week in both wholesale and 

 retail circles, which goes to show that 

 Lent has not interfered much with the 

 business. Work for funerals has been 

 especially plentiful and a great many 

 large designs were worked up by the 

 leading retailers. 



Stock at the wholesale houses has not 

 been any too plentiful. Carnations are 

 cleaned up every day. They are coming 

 in freely, but are in big demand. Mon- 

 day, March 15, the price on white carna- 

 tions was up to 5 cents and 6 cents for 

 the best, owing to the demand for St. 

 Patrick 's day, when the trade will change 

 their color to green. 



Boses, too, are cleaned up at good 

 prices. All varieties are scarce, except 

 short Beauties. California violets are 

 holding up well in quality and price. 

 Bulbous stock also is selling well and 

 there seems to be plenty of everything 

 in season. Of callas and Harrlsii there 

 are more than enough. Sweet peas are 

 fine, plentiful, and in demand. Southern 

 bulbous stock is not bringing much at 

 present. Smilax, asparagus, galax and 

 adiantum have a good call. 



Qub Meeting. 



The Florists' Club held its regular 

 meeting Thursday afternoon, March 11, 

 in Bowman's hall. The meeting was 

 fairly well attended, there being twenty 

 present. Vice-president J. F. Ammann 

 presided. The trustees, through W. C. 

 Smith, reported that they had not as yet 

 made arrangements for a new ball, but 

 would do so by the next meeting. The 

 committee on eliminating the crepe chas- 

 ing made a lengthy report, showing how 

 it could be done. On motion the club 

 went on record condemning the practice

of crepe chasing and the committee was 

 continued, a copy of their report to be 

 sent to the daily papers. The shooting 

 and bowling committees are organizing 

 teams for the S. A. F. convention. The 

 resignation of Walter Eetzer was ac- 

 cepted with regret. 



The question of holding a flower show 

 this fall was brought up for discussion 

 and it was decided not to hold a show in 

 opposition to the one given by the Hor- 

 ticultural Society, but that the dub stood 

 ready to work hand in hand with them 

 and make the one a big success, and the 

 secretary was ordered to write to the 

 Horticultural Society and advise them 

 of the facts.
