MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN BULLETIN 131 
Regierungsrat Dr. O. Appel of the Kaiserlichen Bio- 
logischen Anstalt fiir Land- und Forstwirtschaft, Berlin, 
Germany, foreign delegates to the anniversary celebration, 
spent several days, following the exercises, at the Garden. 
The annual chrysanthemum display, which is one of 
the largest exhibits in the regular series of Garden floral 
displays, will begin on the first Sunday in November and 
continue for two or three weeks. The exhibit will consist 
of about 2,500 plants, the latter comprising upwards of 
500 varieties. Especial emphasis has been placed this 
year on the yellow varieties, an unusually fine collection of 
which will be shown. 
Professor N. Wille of the University of Christiania, 
Christiania, Norway, who was a delegate to the quarter cen- 
tennial celebration, and Mrs. Wille remained in St. Louis 
a week following the close of the anniversary exercises. 
Professor Wille spent a considerable part of this time at the 
Garden engaged in an examination of the local algal flora. 
Professor Wille’s favorite field of investigation is that of the 
fresh-water algae, in which he is a recognized authority. 
As a result of the competitive Garden scholarship exam- 
inations, held on the first Saturday in September of this 
year, scholarships were awarded to Mr. Clarence Pedlow of 
Indianapolis, Indiana, and Mr. Paul A. Kohl, of St. Louis. 
Besides the four students already holding scholarships, and 
Mr. Pedlow and Mr. Kohl, Miss Clara Fuhr of Augusta, 
Missouri, Mr. M. Stoffey of Chicago, Illinois, and Mrs. 
Walter Goodwin and Mr. C. W. Buente, both of St. Louis, 
reported for the new Garden courses in horticulture and 
landscape gardening, on October 1. 
The suggestion having been made that following the 
exercises of the twenty-fifth anniversary celebration of the 
Garden a reorganization of the Association of Central States 
Botanists be effected, the Garden extended an invitation to 
this society to hold its meetings in the Garden. The meet- 
ing was held at the Garden on Saturday, October 17, the 
day following the close of the anniversary exercises, and 
was largely attended by a representative group of botanists. 
Luncheon was served to the visiting botanists by the Garden 
in the old Shaw residence. Dr. E. A. Burt, Mycologist and 
Librarian to the Garden, was elected secretary of the organi- 
zation.
