The florists here, especially on the west side and downtown, are making special window displays for St. Valen- tine's day. Judging by advance orders, they look for the best St. Valentine's day business in years. There are many meetings of trade or- ganizations this week, among them the Retail Florists' Association, February 10; the County Growers, February 12; the St. Louis Association of Gardeners, February 12, and the St. Louis Florists' Club, February 13.

The market seems to be running un- evenly so far as the supply of carna- tions is concerned.

It is gratifying to see a larger supply of sweet peas reach- ing the market. They are of different grades and sell well for all purposes at good figures. Good stock is seen in many shades and is useful for basket arrangements. The demand for callas holds up well, but the supply of Easter lilies is not large. The bright weather is bringing larger shipmen
