 M'V tint the amount must be pud it tlie 

 next legulai meeting of the club and all 

 who have not yet paid their share should 

 do so at once. Either the secretary or 

 treasurer of the club, or Mr. Ellis,'will 

 receive the money. 



At the next meeting of the club Mr. 

 E. W. Guy will read an essay on "Prof- 

 itable Selection and Forcing of Bulbs," 

 and Emil Schray will at the same meet- 

 ing tell us how to grow "Chrysanthe- 

 mums from a Commercial Standpoint." 



Mr. McClure of the Missouri Botanical 

 Garden was present and read an essay 

 on "The History of the Chrysanthe- 

 iiuini." ilr. JlcClure went into every de- 

 tail of the development of the chrysan- 

 themum. The paper was very interest- 

 ing, especially at this time of the year 

 when the "mum" is in its glory. "Mr. 

 JlcCIure is a very bright young man 

 from the William Scott school and will 

 make a very valuable member. 



A number of questions in the box 

 brought out quite a discussion and the 

 meeting lasted until 5:30 p. ni. The next 

 meeting of the club will be held the 

 third Thursday in December and by 

 that time the exhibition committee will 

 be able to make a final report of the 

 show. 



The Market. 



Trade has been somewhat better Uie 

 past week; stock not quite so plentiful, 

 though enough coming in to supply the 

 demand. First-class chrysanthemums 

 are selling fairly well, but poor stock, 

 which is in great abundance, is hard to 

 sell at any price. A great many grow- 

 ers claim that they are all cut out of 

 their first-class stock and have very lit- 

 tle left for the show, which they say is 

 a week late. 



In roses no variety is scarce. Choice 

 stock brings from $4 to $6, while seconds 

 sell as loAV as $1 per 100. The stock of 

 Brides and Maids is very fine; also 

 ileteors and Gates, while " Perles and 

 Woottons are not far behind them. All 

 are selling better than last week. 



Carnations are in excellent demand 

 and stock not overplentiful; all are of 

 good color and are fairly long-stemmed. 

 Some very fine Daybreak, Scott. Bradt

Mr. W. A. Chalfant, of Springfield, 

 Mo., was in town the past week. Mr. 

 Chalfant has always been an exhibitor at 

 our show, but claims to be all cut out 

 this year, having only a few Weddings 

 left, which he will send to the show.
