Carnation Fluid 



Directions for Use. 



To get the best results put the stems of flowers 

 in about 2 inches of fluid, leaving them there 

 about 30 minutes. After talcing them out of fluid 

 put them right in water for about two hours, 

 which has a tendency of forcing the fluid up to the 

 bloom and making that pretty shade of green.

He is the local agent for the Burton- 

 Allison Co. 's carnation green dye, for 

 vehich there is a good call. Consign- 

 ments of roses are coming in more 

 heavily here each day. 



The regular buyers at the wholesale 

 market made up a purse last week, with 

 Fred Aloes, of George H. Angermuel- 

 ler's, as treasurer, and Charles Schoenle 

 and Al. Gums as committee in charge, 

 and presented to Mr. and Mrs. George 

 Schriefer a handsome cut glass water 

 set as a bridal present from his many 

 friends in the trade. 



Charles J. Bleeckert is supplying the 

 local store men with extra fine bloom- 

 ing plants. Mr. Bleeckert says his 

 Easter stock is coming along finely. 



George H. Angermueller received 

 large consignments of fine bulb stock 

 and carnations. He says his green car- 

 nation dye is meeting with a good call. 



Charles W. Fullgraf, William Bouche, 

 John Houlihan and William Mackle, 

 landscape gardeners, say that the fine 

 weather of late has put them to a test. 

 Their entire forces are at work and 

 mote men are needed. 



The Kirkwood growers last week sent 

 in great lots of carnations, sweet peas 

 and violets. Everyone seems to be in 

 crop now, with an abundance of stock 

 of good quality. All four of our whole- 

 salers received some of the consign- 

 ments.

 most florists know full well how to 

 appreciate business when it comes their 

 way. Nevertheless, no one seems to be 

 complaining, for trade has kept up sur- 

 prisingly well, even if it has been rather 

 spasmodic, and if the lenten season 

 continues as well as it has begun the 

 florist will be in a good position to con- 

 gratulate himself. 



Of course, at such times some things 

 will spoil, especially when the weather 

 keeps so bright and crops come in so 

 abundantly. Easter lilies seem to be the
