ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



The market last week was all that 

 could be desired by the retailers, as 

 there was plenty of stock at reasonable 

 prices, and in some cases in large lots 

 at the buyer's own price; this was espe- 

 cially the case with carnations, sweet 

 peas and tulips. Lilies were in good 

 demand, with callas in greater supply 

 than Harrisii. Fancy long Beauties 

 were scarce, with some demand, but 

 shorts were plentiful. For other roses 

 there was a good demand and the con- 

 signments were large. Some extra fine 

 Brides and Maids are now in the mar- 

 ket, but Killarney and White Killarney 

 have the call. Good Richmond and 

 Ivory are also handled. 



Perns are becoming scarce and the 

 price is up to $3 per thousand. All 

 other greens are plentiful. 



Monday, April 3, the market opened 

 well, the wholesalers cleaning up pretty 

 well in everything. There was some 

 advance in prices over last week, but 

 stock will be more abundant by the end 

 of the week, with prices down a cent or 

 two. 



Various Notes. 



Our Boston representatives have re- 

 turned home and report a great show, a 

 splendid time and royal treatment from 

 the Boston florists. 



In the local city bowling tournament, 

 which is now being rolled, three florists ' 

 bowling teams are entered, namely, 

 Ostertag Bros., Eyan Florists and 

 Grimm & Gorly. Carl Beyer and C. A. 

 Kuehn rolled in the single events last 

 week and made good scores. 



W. H. Kennedy, of Chicago, repre- 

 senting the American Paper Box Co., 

 called on the trade last week. 



The Paris Floral Co., under the man- 

 agement of F. J, Foster and young Fred 

 Foster, has completed improvements 

 which give it the much needed extra 

 room. They are making extensive win- 

 dow displays. 



Alex. P. Geranios, head of the Metro- 

 politan Floral Co., says the month of 

 March was a good one with them. Noth- 

 ing but the best quality of stock is 

 handled by them. 



A. G. Greiner came near losing his 

 right hand by a bad case of blood poi- 

 soning caused by a scratch of a nail in 

 the harness of a horse, but is now on the 

 road to recovery. It came at a bad 

 time, when he was quite busy. 



The Kohr Floral Co., of South Broad- 

 way, has opened a branch store on 

 South Grand avenue, in the new Turner 

 hall building. Mr, Kohr thinks it a 

 better location than the old one. 



The Retail Florists' Association held 

 its monthly meeting April 3, in the 

 Knights of Columbus hall. President 

 Sanders presided and the attendance 

 was large. 



The Grand Leader, one of our largest 

 department stores, advertises that it 

 will sell 200,000 catalpa trees for 1 cent 

 each. These will be offered to the 

 school children, to make the celebration 

 of Arbor day the most successful the 

 city has yet had. The sale began April 3. 



The Ladies' Home Circle held its reg- 

 ular monthly meeting Monday after- 

 noon, April 3, in the new Langen build- 

 ing, at the corner of Delmar and Euclid 

 avenues. After the meeting the ladies 

 retired to the bowling alleys in the 

 building for refreshments and bowling.
