The Market 



Trade has not been going with a rush, 

 and not until the end of last week, when 

 considerable funeral work was made up, 

 did stock move well at any of the whole- 

 sale houses. Mothers' day, May 9, 

 brought a little extra business to some. 

 Friday, May 7, one could buy white car- 

 nations at $1 per hundred, and Satur- 

 day $3 per hundred was asked, just be- 

 cause it was Mothers' day and white 

 carnations were in demand. Monday, 

 May 10, the market opened with consid- 

 erable stock in all lines, with prices 

 somewhat lower than on Saturday. The 

 demand also seemed to be good and it 

 may be that we will have a good busi- 

 ness this week. 



The plantsmen are in for a busy week, 

 as planting out began Monday, May 10, 

 and all have plenty of orders to keep 

 them busy the next two weeks. 



Various Notes. *. 



Edwin Denker, of St. Charles, Mo., 

 was in the city May 8, buying supplies. 

 Mr. Denker reports business good. 



Charles Connon is now running the 

 old E. Michel flower store at 4651 Mary- 

 land avenue, known as the Maryland 

 Floral Co. Mr. Connon has become a 

 bowling fan and joined the Florists' 

 Bowling Club. 



C. Young & Sons Co. is doing the 

 planting of Delmar Garden, under the 

 supervision of W. C. Young. The sunken 

 gardens are one of the attractions this 

 year; also new bedding designs, 



Alexander Krite, husband of Mrs. 

 Louisa Krite, who runs a flower store 

 on Cass avenue, died Monday, May 3. 

 Mrs. Krite is well known in the trade, 

 who extend their sympathy. 



The planting season will open this 



Just Asking 



will bring to you, the richest toned 

 ribbons any florist can use. These 

 are lustrous qualities, all silk weaves 

 and beautiful ribbons for florists' 

 work. Also samples of chiffons, 

 plain and fancy designs. 



We are manufacturers of Ribbons 

 and importers of Chiffons. Prices on 

 these high-grade qualities are no 

 higher than many inferior ribbons 

 are sold for.

week at all the city parks. Forest park 

 will be made especially attractive with 

 new designs, original with Superintend- 

 ent Ostertag. The other parks, too, will 

 receive the benefit of new bedding de- 

 signs. Mr. Ostertag says they will spare 

 no pains to make all our parks more at- 

 tractive than ever. 



Fred H. Meinhardt. who is this year 

 state vice-president of the S. A, F., is 

 busy attending to cemetery work, in 

 which he has a large trade. His duties 

 as state vice-president will be taken up 

 early in Juno and we know he will do 

 good work and take a large party to the 

 convention city. 



Arnold Ringier, of the W. W. Barnard 

 Co., Chicago, spent a few days here last 

 week. 



The early closing of the wholesale 



houses at 5 p. m., and on Saturdays at 

 12 m., is looked forward to by the em- 

 ployees with much pleasure. Some say 

 the houses are contemplating starting as 

 early as June 15 this year. 



William Ossick, of the W. C. Smith 

 WTiolesale Floral Co., was missing a day 

 last week, but returned all smiles. He 

 says it is a fine boy, and the image of 

 his father and mother. 



The Florists' Bowling Club had ladies' 

 night Monday, May 3. Quite a few 

 of the fair sex were in attendance and 

 several made quite a good showing at 

 bowling. The club will have to find a 

 new bowling alley, as the old one has 

 closed for the season. The new place 

 will be announced in the next issue. 



Henry Kahrs, at Sixth and Locust 

 streets, says that the business since Eas-
