The Wefekly Florists' Review. 



Fkbbuaby 9, 1911. 



zuras, $3 to $5 per thousand and Her- 

 ricks not much, over $1, but on Monday, 

 February 6, the price was up to $5 per 

 thousand on Californias. 



Boses are coming in slowly and clean 

 sales have been reported on these. 

 Beauties are scarce; so, also, are Kil- 

 larneys and the white varieties. 



In bulbous stock the demand was 

 light and the market was well supplied 

 with callas, Harrisii, valley, freesias, 

 tulips, Romans and Paper Whites. All 

 of these were lowered somewhat in 

 price. In sweet peas a lot of stock went 

 to waste for want of demand. 



All of our wholesalers are now look- 

 ing for a big demand and expect to be 

 well supplied with everything in season 

 on St. Valentine's day. 



Various Notes. 



B. Eschner, of M. Rice & Co., made 

 the rounds of the trade here last week. 

 He reports a good business trip. 



The greenhouse plant of the Eggeling 

 Floral Co., at Kinloch, was recently sold 

 under deed of trust and is now offered 

 for gale Vy the parties who purchased 

 it, at Clayton. The Eggelings still run 

 their retail store on South Craud 

 avenue. 



All the seed houses have issued their 

 spring catalogues. The Young & Sons 

 Co., the St. Louis Seed Co. and the 

 Schisler-Corneli Seed Co. have all sent 

 out handsome, up-to-date books. 



Charles Bleekert, the Labadie avenue 

 florist, will build a few more houses this 

 spring and will go heavily into the plant 

 growing business. He has several 

 bouses full of excellent blooming plants. 



The officers of the Florists' Club held 

 a meeting February 6 at the store of 

 the Smith Wholesale Floral Co., and 

 made up a program for the celebration 

 of the club's twenty-fifth anniversary. 

 Their report will be placed before the 

 members of the club at the next meet- 

 ing. 



C. A. Kuehn and J. J. Beneke took 

 their turn in bowling at the A. B. C. 

 tournament in the Coliseum last week. 

 Ba^ fell below their regular averages 

 and fell several points below the prize 

 money. 



I. Rosnosky, representing the Henry 

 F. Michell Co., Philadelphia, reports 

 successful business during his few 

 days' stay in the city. 



C. C. Sanders has just finished build- 

 ing his new garage at his Henley road 

 place. His retail place, under the man- 

 agement of his son, Oliver K., has had 

 a good run of business since the first 

 of the year. 



John Connon, of the Connon Floral 

 Co., at Webster Groves, reports several 

 large jobs for receptions and weddings 

 last week. The firm is cutting a good 

 lot of carnations and smilax at present. 



Robert Thomson reports that his firm 

 has several good contracts for building 

 greenhouses this summer for the local 

 growers and expects this to be the 

 firm's best year. 



The Andersen Specialty Co., of Chi- 

 cago, made an exhibit at the paint 

 men's convention, showing its prepara- 

 tion for cleaning greenhouse glass. The 

 exhibit was left with the Smith Whole- 

 sale Floral Co., which will be local 

 agent for the goods. 



W. J. Pilcher, of Kirkwood, Mo., left 

 February G for a few days' stay at 

 Chicago. He expects to stop off at 

 Champaign, HI., on his way home, to 

 attend the meeting of the Illinois State 

 Florists' Association.
