Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 



You will certainly make your customers happy if you 

 supply them with the Ferns we have selected for our 

 Christmas Trade. 



There are no better ferns in the market. 



Order a sample box and you will receive a nice surprise.

The Market. 



Business was fairly good last week, 

 the bulk of it being funeral work. The 

 market is in such condition that the 

 local trade cannot get enough to sup- 

 ply the demand and it looks as though 

 the consignors are holding things back 

 so as to have a big cut for Christmas. 

 There is usually plenty of stock to be 

 had about ten days before the holidays, 

 but this year is an exception. This 

 shortage in our local market stiffens 

 prices, so that they are now equal to 

 what they will be at Christmas. 



The retailers are all busy preparing 

 for Christmas. Bouquet green is so 

 scarce that most of the florists who 

 have ,not placed advance orders will be 

 without any. Holly is plentiful and of 

 fine quality. Carnations in all varieties 

 bring top prices, $5 per hundred for 

 fancies and $3 for common. Boses are 

 more plentiful, but these, too, are up in 

 price. Bomans and Paper "Whites are 

 scarce so far this year and it looks as 

 though our local growers are growing 

 only about half the usual amotint. 



California violets are coming fine and 

 in these the market should have a big 

 supply soon; 75 cents is now the top 

 ■^ price per hundred. Ch?ysanthemums are 

 about over for this season and only a 

 few worth anything are now coming in. 

 Lilies and valley sell well. Sweet peas 

 are in only fair supply at present. 

 Smilax, asparagus and bronze galax 

 leaves sold well last week.

and Express Men are useful articles, but when you see them going out the store Bwlnfrlng a 

 box of your choice Roses upside down, you wish you bad them by the neck. If you used the

you wouldn't worry. We are shipping as many to retailers as wholesalers now. No First- 

 class store win be without them. A postal will bring you sample and prices.

Club Meeting. 



The scholarship to the Missouri 

 Botanical Garden, which is at the 

 club's disposal in January, came up for 

 discussion at the meeting of the Flo- 

 rists ' Club, Thursday afternoon, Decem- 

 ber 8. Applications were received from 

 E. A. Smith, of Charles City, la., and 

 Gus Grossart, of Belleville, 111. These, 

 and any others which come in, will be 

 voted upon by the members at the next 

 meeting. 



Twenty-five members were present 

 and the bulletin committee and trus- 

 tees made their final report for the 

 year. A letter was read from J. F. 

 Aramann, expressing regret for not be- 

 ing able to be present. A number of 

 bills were paid, leaving a healthy bal- 

 ance on hand with which to begin the 

 new year. Otto Sander was elected to 

 membership in the club and the follow- 

 ing applied for membership: John Held, 

 Jules Bourdet and John Houlihan. 

 These will be voted upon at the New 

 Year's meeting. 



Henrv Emunds, of Belleville, showed 

 a fine vase of fancy chrysanthemum 

 blooms of Jeanne Nonin, which were 

 greatly admired. The Chicago Carna- 



tion Co., of Joliet, HI., staged a fine 

 vase of its new carnation, Washington, 

 which scored eighty-eight points. The 

 judges were Messrs. Guy, Fillmore and 

 Windier. 



E. W. Guy, chairman of the trustees, 

 gave a good talk on making the meet- 

 ings more attractive for the members 

 during the coming year, inasmuch -as 

 the club will be enjoying its twenty- 

 fifth year of existence. 



Various Notes. 



W. C. Smith, R. J. Windier and V. 

 Gorly took prominent parts in the Elks ' 

 circus, given at the Coliseum last week. 



Fred Ammann, of Edwardsville, 111., 

 attended the Hlinois State Florists' 

 Association meeting at Champaign, 111., 

 last week. The trip prevented him from 

 attending the club meeting. 



Otto Sander is now located at 913 

 Olive street, in the store recently 

 vacated by the Foster Flora^. Co. The 

 move should greatly benefit his busi- 

 ness. 



The Engelmann Botanical Club held 



jts December meeting Monday night, 



December 12. in the graduate lecture 



room of the Missouri Botanical Garden.
