Walter Mott's 

 Notes by the Way 



St. Louis, Mo. 



Geo. Waldbart has returned from a 

 European trip and is giving to the 

 press his impressions of the great ex- 

 hibition in Ghent and experiences else- 

 where, which will undoubtedly help 

 the business. He is more than ever 

 in favor of home-grown stock. 



J. J. Beneke talks of retiring from 

 business in the, we hope, distant fu- 

 ture, for the genial secretary of the 

 Florists' Club is ever ready to impart 

 any news of importance and his store 

 is the Mecca of every traveling man 

 who calls on the craft here. 



The Schisler-Corneli Seed Co. are 

 doing an immense business in grasses, 

 which are treated scientifically and 

 thoroughly tested in a testing house 

 built for that purpose. They also ex- 

 periment with fertilizers and insecti- 

 cides, thus being able to advise their 

 patrons intelligently. 



The craft are busy with store open- 

 ings in which artificial flowers mingle 

 with natural plants. This is unavoida- 

 ble, for apart from a few early chrys- 

 themums. Advance and Golden Glow, 

 seen farther south, the supply of 

 blooming stock is at present very lim- 

 ited. The sharp change in the 

 weather will undoubtedly be beneficial 

 all around.
