QUALITY, QUANTITY and

SERVICE.... 



Quality of stock is not enough; there also 

 must be quantity. Without prompt, careful, 

 painstaking attention, directed by a close know- 

 ledge of each buyer's needs, full satisfaction is 

 not to be had. 



We offer a large supply of choice stock, 

 backed up by 32 years' experience in filling 

 orders.

 consignments are cleaned up early each 

 day. Violets are bringing top prices and 

 there are not any too many in the mar-

Various Notes. 



J. J, Karins, representing Henry A. 

 Dreer, Philadelphia, called on the trade 

 last week. He reports an excellent trade 

 in plants. He is working his way east 

 from here. 



"BUly" Smith had to do jury duty all 

 of last week and is glad that it is over 

 for a year, at least. 



Charles Kuehn has fully recovered from 

 his illness and is now down to business 

 all day, as usual. 



Henry Kahrs is again in the employ of 

 Grimm & Gorly, .at the Washington ave- 

 nue store. Francis Gorly, buyer for the 

 firm, says trade with them has been ex- 

 cellent of late in all lines. 



The Brix Floral Co., at Fifteenth street 

 and St. Louis avenue, has been making a 

 pretty show of cut mums of late. This 

 stock is from the firm's Mead avenue 

 greenhouses. Mr. Brix reports trade sat- 

 isfactory. Pot chrysanthemums, of which 

 they had a great number, sold well this 

 season. 



Ammann & Johann have a most at- 

 tractive store over on the east side, and 

 Mr. Paul, their manager, says business 

 was good last week.

William Schaumann, who until last week 

 managed Grimm & Gorly 's place, left 

 November 15 for Port O'Connor, Tex., 

 where he will start in the florists' busi- 

 ness. 



December 5 the Eetail Florists' Asso- 

 ciation will hold its monthly meeting. 

 Secretary Weber says he hopes all mem- 

 bers will attend this meeting, as it is 

 important. 



The St. Louis Horticultural Society held 

 a special meeting November 22, to hear 

 reports of the recent flower show and ar- 

 range to pay all prize money. Judging 

 from present reports, the show was not a 

 financial success. 



John Held, on Tennessee avenue, is 

 cutting some grand blooms of Golden 

 Wedding, Chadwick and Golden Chad- 

 wick. This stock is being handled by 

 Charles Kuehn. Mr. Held also had a 

 good run on mum plants among the trade. 



Henry Ostertag, of Ostertag Bros., says 



they have been unusually busy of late 

 with decorative work. Plant trade has 

 been exceptionally good with them. 



E. W. Guy, chairman of the club's 

 trustees, says the members of the club 

 were much impressed with the social fea- 

 ture of the club's last meeting, and that 

 he will advise that all meetings, begin- 

 ning with January, have some social fea- 

 tures at the close. 



The chrysanthemum show at Shaw's 

 Garden attracted large crowds all last 

 week, both day and evening. The collec- 

 tion includes many pompon and anemone 

 varieties, in addition to the standard 

 sorts. Many of the older kinds are also 

 to be seen. The large tent in which the 

 show is held is well lighted at night. 

 Weather permitting, the show will con- 

 tinue throughout this week. J. J, B.
