In looking over the stock that came 

 to the four wholesalers daily, I found 

 an abundance of extra fine, long sweet 

 peas. Some of these sold as low as $1 

 per thousand in big lots, and the down- 

 town stores were advertising them at 

 5 cents per bunch of twenty-five. A lot 

 of carnations were shipped in, but came 

 in bad condition, not even worth the 

 express charges. The home-grown stock 

 of these sells best now. Roses, too, are 

 abundant, but on account of the recent 

 hot weather only a few of them are fit 

 for sale. Outdoor gladioli and tube- 

 roses will by the end of this week 

 crowd the market still more. 



A few local growers are sending in 

 asters, but not many as yet. Valley 

 had a great call all through the month 

 of June, but the demand has let up 

 now. There is plenty of good smilax 

 and ferns of all kinds. 



Various Notes. 



A. C. Canfield, of Springfield, 111., 

 was a caller last week. He has had 

 great success this year with his new 

 early shell-pink asters. 



Edwin Denker came down from his 

 home at St. Charles on Saturday, July 

 6, in his new Buick automobile, in com- 

 pany with his two nephews. Mr. 



Denker says he has had a splendid 

 business season. 



E. W. Guy and Henry Emunds, of 

 Belleville, 111., were over last week. 

 They say the Belleville florists have 

 offered a special prize for the club's 

 picnic and will be on hand early to re- 

 ceive the florists as they come, at the 

 front gate. 



The Wabash railroad is making a 

 strong bid for that daylight florists ' 

 special to take the local delegation to 

 Chicago next month to attend the S. A. 

 F. convention. Harry Dressel, general 

 agent of the passenger department, has 

 promised his finest out of here and, as 

 we are all strong for home talent, the 

 Wabash is the proper road to take. 



The St. Louis Seed Co., the Schisler- 

 Corneli Seed Co., the Tinsley Seed Co., 

 the H. S. Schisler Grain Co. and the 

 C. Young & Sons Co., our local seed 

 houses, have all offered special prizes 

 to be competed for at the Florists' 

 Club's picnic, July 17, at Preister's 

 park. 



There will be considerable building 

 and rebuilding among the Kirkwood 

 florists this summer, as they all have 

 had a most successful season. At pres- 

 ent they are consigning thousands of 

 fancy sweet peas, and they will be cut- 



ting gladioli and single tuberose stalks 

 by the thousand for the local market. 



Mrs. Buechel, of the Riessen Floral 

 Co., says the report that they are going 

 to move from their present location is 

 without foundation. They are much 

 pleased with their present location and 

 with the business for the season just 

 ended. 



It was reported that Grimm & Gorly 

 would have to vacate their present 

 quarters sometime before the fall sea- 

 son, but they report that they have 

 just closed a seven-year lease for their 

 present place, at 702 Washington 

 avenue. 



Alex. Siegel, at Sixth street and 

 Washington avenue, says he is having 

 a nice summer business in cut flowers. 



The Paris Floral Co. is vacating the 

 Sixth street store this week. The firm 

 will build a new greenhouse this sum- 

 mer at Kinloch. 



The trustees have again appointed 

 F. J. Fillmore, W. J. Pilcher and J. J. 

 Beneke as a reception committee for 

 the picnic, and have also added the 

 names of President Windier and Treas- 

 urer Smith. 



Prof. H. C. Irish, for the last eighteen 

 years superintendent and horticulturist 

 at the Missouri Botanical Garden, has
