The Market. 



It is a hard matter to judge the local 

 cut flower market correctly for the last 

 week, as the prices are so entirely de- 

 pendent on the quantity purchased and 

 on the demand from hour to hour. As- 

 ters have become a glut and all colors 

 are selling as low as 35 cents to $1.50 

 per hundred. Sweet peas have let up 

 somewhat and the few that come in 

 are not fancy. Gladioli are as plentiful 

 as ever. There seems to be a good de- 

 mand for them, but only at low prices. 

 America alone holds up in price, and 

 only when extra fancy. There are quite 

 a lot of good Killarney and Maryland 

 roses to be had, as well as fairly good 

 Beauties. Carnations are not good, 

 but enough of them come in to meet 

 the demand. Good lilies and valley are 

 to be had, and plenty of good greens. 



Various Notes.

 ley Paper Box Co., of Gas City, Ind.,

Frank Fisher, a carnation grower, 

 lately with the Chicago Carnation Co., 

 Joliet, 111., is visiting the local growers. 

 He likes St. Louis and may remain here

Joseph Matter, whose place is on 

 the Watson road, says he had great 

 success in growing asparagus under 

 glass for the market. He has bought 

 five more acres of land on the Olive 

 and Walton road. He expects to spend 

 his vacation at Chicago, durjng conven- 

 tion week. 



Mr. and Mrs. Nathaniel Kingsly, of 

 the Mullanphy Flower Co., who were
