D. violets available helped the retailers greatly. The violet growers say the expected shortage did not occur and a large crop is coming on, which will be on the market for several weeks before St. Valentine's day. Miscellaneous stock, such as calen- dulas, snapdragon, mignonette and ste- via, is in good supply. In bulbs, Ro- mans made their first appearance last week. Paper Whites were in demand and plentiful. Valley is of fine quality, but high- priced, selling at $ per hundred for the best. Easter and calla lilies are not overplentiful. Orchids are limited at $18 to $24 per dozen. They are fine stock. Some excellent smilax, aspara- gus, adiantum, and galax, especially bronze, is available. Wild smilax had a large demand last week and boxwood sold well. Various Notes. The St. Louis Florists' Club will meet Thursday afternoon, January 13, vvhc-n a large attendance is expected. The ofii- cers will meet this week and select a meeting place and arrange an interest- ing program. The secretary is prepar- ing special notices for all members.

This committee met again Janu- ary 5 and arranged for continuous ad- vertising for the season of 1921. L. H. Archias, of Sedalia, Mo., presi- dent of the Missouri State Florists' Association, was in St. Louis January 5 to confer with the secretary and to set a date for the annual meeting. A campaign for members will be inaugu- rated throughout the state. The Alton Floral Co. and Joseph Krug, of Alton, 111., say their holiday trade was one of the best in recent years. The publicity committee's work through the St. Louis press helped greatly to make the large volume of business. The Floris
