The St. Louis market 

 ST. LOUIS was quite strong last 



weeli: anything season- 

 • able could be had and plenty of it, and 

 from the way the retailers bought they 

 must have had a busy week. Chrysan- 

 themums are much in favor with the 

 buyers. Other seasonable stock is 

 coming in fine, the cooler weather hav- 

 ing toned them up, and prices have 

 gone up a little.

deemed it wise to remove from our midst, 

 our fellow member and brother gardener, 

 .Tulius Roehrs, and 



Whereas, In the passing of our brother 

 we have suffered the loss of a sincere 

 friend and staunch supporter of all that 

 stands for good in the profession of gar- 

 dening, and 



Kecognizing that through his decease the 

 world has lust one whose achievements in 

 horticulture have been equalled by but few, 

 and through whose accomplishments many 

 have been benefited. 



It is fitting therefore, that we, The Na- 

 tional Association of Gardeners, assembled 

 in annual convention, should give expres- 

 sion of our feelings over the loss of our 

 esteemed fellow member, and that we 

 spread upon the records of our proceedings 

 the deep sorrow we feel, and that we con- 

 vey our sympathy and condolence to his 

 bereaved family. 



Be it resolved. That we tender to the 

 family of the deceased our deepest sym- 

 pathy and that a copy of these resolutions 

 lie sent to the family and that they be 

 spread in full upon the minutes of the 

 meeting.

The Banquet. 



The meeting of the National Associ- 

 ation of Gardeners in New York wound 

 up in a glorious jubilation at the Ho- 

 tel Endicott on Monday evening, No- 

 vember 3. The affair will long be a 

 bright and happy spot in the memory 

 of all who participated. The menu 

 was all that could be wished and there 

 was plenty of music by the orchestra, 

 not to mention the vocal efforts singly 

 or in chorus by the merry participants 

 in this care-free and inspiring event. 



President W. H. Waite presided. In 

 a few neat remarks he introduced A. 

 Herrington as toastmaster and the 

 great success of the evening was due 

 in no small degree to the able manner 

 in which Mr. Herrington filled the po- 

 sition. The speakers included R. Vin- 

 cent, Jr., of Baltimore; F. R. Pierson, 

 as representing the New York Horti- 

 cultural Society; W. J. Stewart of Bos-

 tary Ebel, and Mr. Miller from Garri

 order named to contribute of their wit 

 or wisdom to the general cause, and if 

 applause was any criterion, it must 

 be acknowledged that they all were 

 right on their job.
