 fore it struck the greenhouse. It came 

 with a roar and a clatter and then 

 smashed through the glass structure in 

 the twinkling of an eye. It was a nerve- 

 racking experience, and the workmen,

ST. LOUIS. 



The Southwestern Market. 



The market was in a much over- 

 crowded condition in the early part ot 

 the week and all seasonable stock was 

 abundant, with the prices somewhat 

 lower than in the week previous. In

 week and the big supply that comes in 

 daily from Kirkwood was cleaned up 

 pretty well each day at low prices. 



Peonies are in, and the first of them 

 were cleaned up at once at $5 per hun- 

 dred. American gladioli are fine, though 

 there are not many in as yet. These sell 

 quickly at good prices. The price of 

 miniature gladioli fell somewhat, owing 

 to the increased supply. Iris, lilac, 

 snowballs and valley are among the out- 

 door flowers arriving.
