president. When the convention meets 

 the florist of the place of meeting does 

 all the entertaining. This association 

 has met here before, the last time being 

 four years ago. 



A. N. Kinsman is entertaining the as- 

 sociation at its winter meeting, those 

 present being W. B. Perry, of Cresco; 

 W. T. Symonds, Decorah; John Mur- 

 phy, Independence; Walter S. Hall, 

 Osage; Mr. and Mrs. M. H. Wetherby, 

 of Charles City; Mr. and Mrs. Alfred 

 Clausen, and P. Clausen, of Albert Lea, 

 and 0. J. Olson, of the firm of Holm & 

 Olson, of St. Paul. 



These florists always have a good 

 time and never miss a convention if 

 thev can help it. There is sociability 

 all 'the time. The delegates wander 

 around the greenhouses looking for 

 faults, with both eyes open for any 

 new wrinkles in the business. They 

 talk about red bugs, green worms, white 

 microbes and black fungi. The whole 

 range of plant life as found in the 

 greenhouses finds a place on the un- 

 written • program of subjects. It is 

 a practical convention and one that 

 never has a trace of unpleasantness and 

 never leaves a thorn scratch when it is 

 over. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Southwestern Market. 



The market reports for the last week 

 in February are that everything in sea- 

 son was quite plentiful. The rose ship- 

 pers are again on crop in all varieties; 

 roses were again so that orders for both 

 local and outside could be filled in full, 

 with easier prices. Fancy long Beauties 

 are scarce, but there seems to be plenty 

 of the lower grades, especially short- 

 stemmed. The bulk of the stock is 

 Killarney. 



The great glut during the week was 

 in violets and sweet peas. In large lots 

 the price was $2 per thousand, with the 

 lower grades even cheaper. The sup- 

 ply of carnations also was large and the 

 five wholesale markets were well 

 stocked every day during the week, and 

 at reasonable prices all through. The 

 varieties most in demand are White 

 Wonder, Enchantress in all colors. Bea- 

 con and Washington. The bulk of this 

 stock is being consigned by the Kirk- 

 wood growers. 



There is also a fine supply of bulbous 

 stock. Tulips are among the best in

 demand. Easter lilies are plentiful just 

 now and are selling well at $10 per hun-

 are coming in quite heavily.
