and cut flowers. The wholesale mar- 

 ket was in good condition all last week 

 and large consignments are expected all 

 of this week, as well as plenty of stock 

 for Easter orders which have been 

 placed ahead. 



Lilies V|rill be more plentiful than was 

 expected. Carnations have been coming 

 in heavily all the week and will con- 

 tinue so tJf^S week, with prices not over 

 $5 per hundred for extra fancies. Koses, 

 too, will be plentiful. Long, fancy 

 Beauties and other roses are now arriv- 

 ing in large lots. Killarneys in all va- 

 rieties, Maryland, Ivory, Eichmond, 

 Bride and Maid are of extra fine qual- 

 ity. Violets will be scarce. The cool 

 weather, however, has helped them 

 greatly and many more will be in than 

 are usually expected at this late date. 

 Lily of the valley is fine; so, also, are 

 candidum and auratum lilies; in fact, 

 all bulb stock is expected to come in 

 heavily this week. Sweet peas will be 

 abundant in all colors, with extra long 

 stems, at 75 cents per hundred. 



Smilax and asparagus are having a 

 big call. Common ferns are still scarce. 



Various Notes. 



Dr. Noah M. Glatfelter, a noted 

 botanist, died here last week. He was 

 73 years old. A son and three daugh- 

 ters survive him. He was famed for his 

 knowledge of willow trees and as an 

 authority on mushrooms. He was well 

 known among the trade here and 

 abroad. His death was caused by a fall 

 from a ladder while looking over the 

 trees in his garden. 



Joseph A. Matter, at 3530 Watson 

 road, has made application for mem- 

 bership in the Florists' Club. 



A. Jablonsky and W. C. Young made 

 the rounds of the growers in the south- 

 ern part of the city last week, and say 

 they found them all in excellent shape 

 for the Easter trade and the stock all 

 of extra good quality. 



Peter Craig, representing the Sefton 

 Mfg. Co., Chicago, called on the trade 

 here last week, selling florists' boxes. 

 Mr. Craig reports a satisfactory south- 

 ern trip. 



Kobert F. Tesson, well known in tlie 

 trade, called last week, visiting friends. 

 Mr. Tes'son ;iow runs a successful dairy 

 farm in Clayton, Mo. 



Frank Fillmore's place is in fine shape 

 for Easter and spring business. He is 

 again first in with a fine cut of candi- 

 dum lilies. Mr. Fillmore is growing 

 Dorothy Gordon and Pink Delight car- 

 nations with good success. A fine bench 

 of lilies and hydrangeas was seen, as 

 well as a good line of bedding stock. 



W. J. Pilcher, of Kirkwood, is still 

 cutting a fine lot of his new violet, 

 Mazzura. The Smith Wholesale Floral 

 Co., which handles the output, says the
