ST. LOUIS NOTES. 



The National Clock and Electrical 

 Co. are now housed in their new quar- 

 ters, 1906 Pine street, much larger 

 than the old one, which was destroyed 

 recently by fire. 



The W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral 

 Co. have a quartette of good singers 

 in Messrs. Smith, Ossick, Patten and 

 Windier. They are now rehearsing 

 for the florists' picnic. 



Ostertag Bros, had a J.'^dO job at 

 the Jefferson Hotel planting of the 

 window boxes. Kallsch Bros, also had 

 a $500 job planting Belleview Garden. 

 Both were splendidly executed. 



Our four wholesale houses have 

 started early closing June first. They 

 will close at 5 P. M. each day and at 

 12 M on Saturdays until September. 

 This was hailed with great delight by 

 the employes. 



Secretary Beneke of the St. Louis 

 Florists' Club has sent out the invita- 

 tions for the 25th anniversary banquet 

 of the club, which takes place June 

 28th at Peckmann's Hotel. Among 

 the invited guests are all the officers 

 of the S. A. F. 



Phil. C. Scanlan, the outgoing Park 

 Commissioner, was the guest of honor 

 at a banquet given by his many 

 friends at the St. Louis Club, last 

 week. The incoming Park Commis- 

 sioner, Dwight F. Davis, Mayor Kreis- 

 mann, ex-Mayor Wells and David R. 

 Francis, were the speakers. 



Shaw's Garden opened its gates to 

 the public for the first time this j^ear 

 on Sunday last. The weather was so 

 very hot that the attendance was not 

 near what it used to be on these pub- 

 lic Sunday openings. According to 

 the gate keeper just 7794 passed 

 through from 2 o'clock to closing time. 

 Those who braved the heat were well 

 repaid, as the garden never looked 

 more attractive. Superintendent Iris'i 

 was on hand to greet the visitors and 

 in groups with a guide they inspected 

 all points of interest. 



Visitor — Harry Balsley, Detroit, 

 Mich. 



PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



Frank Forney permanent represen- 

 tative in Chicago of M. Rice & Co., 

 has been in Philadelphia for a week 

 or more looking over the new season's 

 offerings and getting in touch with 

 the fountain-head of things. The firm 

 is now busy opening up new arrivals, 

 photographing novelties and getting 

 their sample lines ready for the new 

 campaigns. 



Mr. Hansen is now running the re- 

 tail end of W. C. Smith's establish- 

 ment at 60th and Ludlow streets. The 

 old greenhouse range has now shrunk 

 to almost nothing and it is a hard job 

 to find it with stores and dwellings 

 erected almost all around. Big changes 

 have come over that neighborhood 

 since the elevated went through to 

 69th street. 



"The finest and best" in flowers is 

 what Charles H. Fox offers his custo- 

 mers according to a big sign on the 

 building 211 South Broad street, which 

 he will occupy as soon as alterations 

 are completed. He is at present lo- 

 cated at 223 South Broad street. Is 

 it permissible to ask if a double super- 

 lative is more high-toned than a 

 double negative?
