The Market 



The business done last week was satis- 

 factory to both wholesalers and retailers. 

 There were heavy shipments to this mar- 

 ket, but the retailers were active in their 

 demand for good stock and there was 

 little, if any, that went to waste. Mon- 

 day, March 29, the demand for white 

 carnations was heavy. Carnations have 

 recently had a better call than any other 

 flower, and the price has been holding up 

 to 3 cents and 4 cents for fancy stock. 

 All varieties and grades of roses have 

 been coming in better of late and these, 

 too, have been holding up in price. Rich- 

 mond, Killamey, Ivory and Mrs. Potter 

 Palmer, when fancy, sell clean.

Mention The Review when you write. 



There has been an unusually good call 

 for long smilax. Sweet peas could not be 

 improved upon. The present consign- 

 ments from Kirkwood, in all colors, are 

 in demand, especially white and lavender. 

 Easter lilies are not any too plentiful. 

 No doubt the growers are holding them 

 back for the Easter cut. Of callas there 

 are plenty. Extra fine lily of the valley 

 sells well. Tulips, Von Sions, Romans, 

 Paper Whites and Dutch hyacinths, as 

 usual at this time, are enough for the 

 demand. 



The indications are that there will be 

 plenty of everything in season in this 

 market for the Easter trade. 



Various Notes. 



Park Commissioner Scanlan last week 

 appointed the following park keepers: 

 Andrew J. Freeman for Carnegie place, 

 Frank P. Walsh for Washington square, 

 Martin Bowden for St. Louis place, and 

 John J. Roggie for Jackson place. 



Robert F. Tesson was recently elected 

 president of the Missouri Breeders' As- 

 sociation. Mr. Tesson is running a suc-

Edwin Denker, of. St. Charles, was a 

 recent visitor. Mr. Denker reports that 

 the florists' business in St. Charles has 

 been fairly good all through Lent. 



Joe Wors, son of C. W. Wors, is now 

 with George H. Angermueller. He is a 

 bright boy and should make good. 



F. W. Bruenig and W. H. Kruse, south 



end florists, have been quite busy of late 

 with decorations for spring openings in 

 the downtown stores. 



The blooming bulb stock exhibited by 

 William Schray & Sons at the show last 

 week was the finest ever exhibited at any 

 of the spring shows. It was surely a 

 grand sight. 



Albert T. Hey, of Western Springs, 

 HI., who was a visitor at the flower show 

 last week, before leaving for home visited 

 his friend, J. F. Ammann, at Edwards- 

 ville, HI. 



Jules Bourdet, on South Vandeventer 

 avenue, has a lot of extra fine blooming 

 plants, which will come in right for 

 Easter. 



C. Young & Sons Co. put in a busy 

 week in its seed department. The large 

 force of employees worked overtime, fill- 

 ing orders for shipping the next day. 



Weber & Sons, the Sanders Nurseries 

 and Rothenhoefer & Schulte, our local 

 nurserymen, say they had an exception- 

 ally good season in all kinds of nursery 

 stock. Their planting season will run 

 into the middle of April. 



The W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral Co. 

 is having a run on tree boxes, garden 

 trellises and their new folding plant

 tion from City Forester Meyer as in- 

 spector,
