The purchase of a lot adjoining their 

 property by Weiland & Eisch has 

 caused the report in Evanston that they 

 will at once put up 100,000 feet of 

 glass. It is denied at the store. 



John Kruchten says the Deerfield 

 Nurseries expect to have another crop 

 of gardenias early in April. 



Wietor Bros, are preparing to begin 

 replanting roses earlier this year than 

 usual, for a summer crop. 



That Winton Six would occupy some 

 of C. W. McKellkr's time were any to 

 be spared from the store these "pleasant 

 spring days.

ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



There was a great deal of clear 

 weather last week, just warm enough 

 to bring out all seasonable stock in 

 large quantities. The retail trade is re- 

 ported rather dull in everything ex- 

 cept funeral work, which is plentiful 

 and calls for especially large designs. 



The plantsmen are, of course, all busy 

 now and will be until the middle of 

 M^y. On Monday morning, March 27, 

 the wholesale market was glutted with 

 extra fine sweet peas in all varieties; 

 these are selling as low as $1.00 pei 

 thousand. Carnations, too, are much 

 too plentiful in the market; every one 

 had large consignments all week, qual- 

 ity extra fine, and large lots sold at $10 

 per thousand for extra good stock. 

 Fancy Enchantress and Beacon sold 

 well at top prices.

Mention The Review when you write. 



Lilies are coming in large lots, both 

 callas and Harrisii, and sell as low as 

 $10 per hundred. Roses are coming in 

 fine. Bride and Maid are of especially 

 good quality just now, but Killarney 

 and Maryland outsell them and at a bet- 

 ter price. Long, fancy Beauties are 



scarce; medium and short stems are 

 plentiful. 



California violets are holding up well, 

 but are much smaller. Fancy smilax 

 and commopi ferns had a good call and 

 are plentiful.
