. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. 258 The American Florist. Mar. 14, St. Louis. SUPPLIES INCREASE BUT DEMAND KEEPS PACE WITH THE RECEIPTS ON MOST ITEMS. — RETAIL TRADE GOOD. — WITH THE GROWERS.—VARIOUS NOTES. Stock is a little more plentiful owing to bright weather the fore part of the week, but the demand still keeps up to the sup- ply. Roses are somewhat better and still command top prices, as do white carna- tions, but colored carnations are now more plentiful. Lilies are coming in more abundantly every day, as is also bulbous stock. Thousands of violets are now in ? the market and are sold in job lots. The prices are about the same as last week. Long Beauties are still scarce and bring $6 and $8 a dozen. The retail cut flower trade has been very uncertain, owing to the very dis- agreeable weather. The down town stores report a good run on cut stock and funeral work has kept white flowers pretty well cleaned up. C. Connon & Company have had several large decora- tions and M. Lufe & Company are doing well in their new stand. Mild weather has brought out the fakirs but they handle chiefly violets. A visittoC. Young & Son's greenhouses found them in excellent shape. They have thoroughly remodeled their large ship- ping and packing room, having put in a new granitoid floor and shipping bench the full length of the building. A large batch of longiflorum lilies have plenty of time to make Easter. Union Market is to be pulled down and with it goes an old landmark where many of our prosperous florists of to-day got their start. There is still a great deal of stock disposed of at the market. Fred. C. Weber had a fine display of lilacs and acacia in his window and a nice lot of azaleas are to be seen at Theo. Miller's. The "new St. Louis" idea has taken a firm hold and landscape gardeners are kept busy. Walter Young, son of James Young, has been laid up with chicken pox. Visitor: Mr. Henry, of Henry
