90 MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN BULLETIN 
Mr. J. S. Cooley, Rufus J. Lackland Fellow, will spend 
part of the summer at the University of Wisconsin doing 
some special pathological work with Professor Jones. Mr. 
W. H. Emig, Rufus J. Lackland Fellow, will collect and. 
study the mosses and hepatics in the Ozarks of Missouri and 
Northern Arkansas during the summer. Mr. L. O. Over- 
holts will spend his vacation at Tolland, Colorado, where 
~ he pay particular attention to the fleshy fungi of the

The June meeting of the St. Louis Florists’ Club was held 
in the Graduate Lecture Room of the Garden on the after- 
noon of June 12th. About fifty members were present. After 
the business session a trip was taken through the grounds, 
especial interest being manifested in the new range of 
houses and heating plant, the model gardens, window boxes 
and rose garden. 
The economic plants, which have been in the old range 
all winter, have been set out of doors to the east, west and 
north of the old houses, immediately against them. On the 
west and for a short distance on the north the plants are 
classified in groups as follows: Tropical fruits, oils, resins 
and gums, perfumes, condiments, medicinal plants and 
fibre plants. The rest of the beds are composed of a miscel- 
laneous collection of specimens of some commercial import- 
ance. 
The new range of greenhouses is practically completed. 
However, owing to the large amount of earth which is to 
be put in preliminary to the planting, and the confusion 
which must exist until the arrangement of the plants is 
completed, it has been necessary to close these houses to the 
public. The front part of the old range will likewise be 
closed for several weeks. 
_ The last meeting of the season of the Engelmann Botan- 
ical Club was held in the Graduate Lecture Room on the 
afternoon of June 7th. Mr. C. W. Garrett, of the Garden, 
spoke on “Growing of Hardy Roses,” and Mr. W. S. Wells, 
of the Garden staff, discussed “Growing Roses Under 
Glass.” The members and visitors then adjourned to the 
Rose Garden for a demonstration of some of the points 
brought out. : pees
