Art Baskets W 



We have a sterling novelty this season 

 to offer you for your Easter weddinsrs, 

 something you have never seen before 

 and that will appeal to your most 

 critical customers. 



UR ART BASKETS, so-called, are simply staple styles 

 of baskets, finished with bronze and other effects. 

 This finish adds a richness quite out of proportion to 

 the very moderate increase in price and will give you some- 

 thing that your stylish customer will "go crazy" over, as 

 they express it. We especially recommend these ART 

 BASKETS in elegant residences, where it is desired that 



they harmonize with the handsome tapestries and furniture. 



We are headquarters for novel and staple BASKETS 

 in all colors. Fancy POT COVERS— you name the size and we do the rest. CREPE PAPER, 

 pleated and waterproof, moss green effects. Everything in supplies. Send for our Illustrated Catalogue.

The Market 



Last week found the market active, 

 with plenty of good stock in everything. 

 This week we are all looking for a busy 

 time, especially so in the plant line, and 

 from the looks of some of the show 

 houses in the west end, they are expecting 

 a big rush in blooming plants. Prom re- 

 ports of wholesalers, there will be plenty 

 of cut stock of everything in season, and 

 about the only scarcity looked for will be 

 in carnations; these have not been over- 

 plentiful for the last ten days. Light 

 colors sell up clean. 



From the looks of the supply of roses 

 last week, there will be more than enough, 

 as consignments have been quite heavy 

 from all points. It looks now as though 

 there will be enough violets, the cool days 

 having held them back, and the chances 

 are that there will be plenty of them. 

 Sweet peas are in their prime, all the 

 wholesalers having plenty of them in all 

 grades. All light shades have the call. 

 Cut lilies, both Harrisii and callas, will

be abundant and the call heavy, as shown 

 by the orders already received. Other 

 bulbous stock, such as Romans, Dutch 

 hyacinths. Paper Whites, valley, freesias 

 and tulips, will be plentiful. Prices will 

 go up a little, but not much. 



Various Notes. 



Adolph Fehr and Henry Emunds, of 

 Belleville, were visitors last week. Each 

 has a good word for the business, and 

 says the Belleville florists expect a big 

 rush for Easter. 



C. Young & Sons' show windows are 

 great attractions these days. Last week 

 they showed the new pink climber, Tau- 

 sendschon, in one window, and the other 

 was made up of pink and Crimson Ram- 

 blers and orchids in full bloom. They 

 report a large sale on these. 



The death of J. B. Gazzam last week 

 takes from us a man who was a great 

 lover of flowers. Mr. Gazzam was head 



of the Bellefontaine cemetery and a mem- 

 ber of the St. Louis Florists' Club and 

 St. Louis Horticultural Society, in which 

 every member was his friend. 



Sanders Nurseries had a lot of fine 

 lilies for Easter. They are all nice, 

 stocky plants, and about the best in the 

 city. AH have been sold to the local 

 trade. 



Miss Theresa Badaracco had a busy 

 week furnishing floral designs for spring 

 openings in downtown department stores. 



John Chapman, formerly with Poehl- 

 mann Bros. Co., Chicago, has taken a 

 position as foreman for Adolph Brix, at 

 his Mead avenue greenhouses. 



Pierre Schnider, formerly with S. 

 Erker, at Kirkwood, and who had great 

 success as a carnation grower, is now in 

 the employ of A. C. Canfield, Springfield,
