The Weekly Flotists' Review, 



rEBIiLARY 20, 1002. 



ST. LOUIS. 



Club Meet-ng. 



The reg^ilar monthly meeting of the 

 Florists' Club was held last Thursday 

 afternoon at 3 o'clock. This being our 

 annual carnation meeting, quite a few 

 new faces were seen, and when Presi- 

 dent Meinhardt called the meeting to or- 

 der there were thirty-four persons pres- 

 ent. The e.xhibition of carnations was 

 not so large as last year. Among the 

 outside lioiists who exhibited were: R. 

 Witterstaetter, of Cincinnati, who sent 

 his grand pink Enquirer and the Red 

 Estelle. which were much admired; the 



E. G. Hill Co. sent a fine vase of new 

 pink CViessbrook, and everybody says 

 that in this variety Jlr. \\'arburton has 

 a fine pink which speaks for itself; the 

 Chicago Carnation Co. sent their fine, 

 shell-pink Mrs. Higinbothani, Jtrs. Pal- 

 mer, an excellent red, and Chicot, an 

 extra large, fine white striped. 



A fine lot of the new scarlet Challcn- 

 ger, sent by William Hoffman, of Paw- 

 tucket, R. I., came too late for exhibi- 

 tion. When seen at Kuchn's thcj- were 

 in excellent condition. 



Among the local growers who exhib- 

 ited were: Will Hucke. of ]5elleville, 

 who showed a fine vase of I^ivwson; .1. 



F. Ammann, of Edwardsville, a grand 

 vase of \\'hite Cloud and a vase of Wel>- 

 er's Cenevieve Lord: .T. W. Dunford 

 (better known as the St. I^iuis Carna- 

 tion Co.), of Central, a vase of well- 

 grown mixed carnations: Fillmore. 

 Jablonsky and Tesson each showed a 

 vase of mixed standard varieties. The 

 judges, Messrs. Weber, Herzog and Koe- 

 nig, reported that all were worthy of 

 mention. 



The World's Fair matter was laid over 

 until the iu>xt meeting of the club. It 

 was also decided by the nuMubers that 

 we would not have a show this fall. 



.Mr. William Poltz, a young member 

 of the club, was given a scholarship to 

 the Missouri Holanical Garden, uliiih 

 is in accordance with the will of the 

 late Henry Shaw. 



Mr. J. W. Dunford. of the St. I>o\iis 

 Carnation Co., read ;in essay on grow- 

 ing carnations, which was very inter- 

 esting. 



Tlie next meeting of tlie club, which 

 will be held on Thuisday afternoon. 

 March 13, at 3 o'clock, will be the an- 

 nual rose show, and two essays will l>e 

 read on this occasion, one by Mr. Fill- 

 more, on "Growing Roses,'" and one by 

 J. F. Annnann, on "American lieau 

 ties." 



The following from out of towni were 

 seen during the meeting: Miss Krug, 

 of Alton, 111.; .7. F. Ammann and Henry 

 Ulixen, of Edwardsville, III.: .lolin 

 Stiedle and .T. W. Dunford. of Central. 

 !Mo. : Henry Euiundt and "liill" Huckc. 

 of Belleville, 111., and Heiirv .lohann. of 

 Collinsville, 111. 



The Market- 



The cut fiower trade is not so brisk 

 as one would think to see the rush for 

 cut flowers at the wholesale market tach 

 morning. This rush is due to the seai- 

 city of stock and all wishing to stock 

 up for the day's business. The West 

 End florists claim that trade was very 

 good on St. Valentine's day. The call 

 was for Beauties and violets, but the 

 supply of these was limited. But things 

 will soon be different, a week or two
