' ST. LOUIS. 



* 



The Market. 



The reports of the market for the 

 ■week commencing February 26 will not 

 be encouraging to growers, at least as 

 far as St. Louis is concerned. To put 

 it mildly, the glut was on all through 

 the week in everything the market af- 

 fords at this time of the year. The 

 •especially heavy stock included Cali- 

 fornia violets and carnations. The 

 prices obtained for these in large lots 

 <;an not be quoted correctly. The sup- 

 ply was far greater than the demand; 

 -consequently a large amount was left 

 unsold and eventually dumped to make 

 room for fresh consignments. 



In roses the market is not so badly 

 <^verstocked, but there are enough ship- 

 ments to satisfy the local call. Lilies 

 went begging at $5 per hundred for 

 ■excellent stock. There is also an abun- 

 dance of bulb stock of high quality, 

 which had to suffer along with the 

 other stock. The consignments of sweet 

 peas from the Kirkwood growers were 

 the largest this market has as yet re- 

 ceived. Excellent long-stemmed stock 

 in all the leading varieties was sold as 

 low as 25 cents per hundred in large 

 lots. 



The leading retailers say the first 

 week of Lent was about the dullest 

 they have experienced this year. Fu- 

 neral work was the only important fac- 

 tor in the retail trade last week. 



Various Notes. 



Hugo Gross is strong, this season, on 

 carnations, sweet peas and violets. At
