For June, 1922 



189 



The exhibits of the evening were Darwin 

 tulips grown by F. McXicoU and Fred 

 Heyl. They were exceptionally well grown 

 and caused a good deal of discussion. 



A motion to the effect that the June 

 Flower Show should be passed up this year 

 and to hold a chrysanthemum show in the 

 Fall was carried. Two new members were 

 elected.

ST. LOUIS ASSOCIATION OF GAR- 

 DENERS 



The St. Louis Association of Gardeners 

 held its last indoor meeting of the season, 

 in the Forest Park Greenhouses May 3d. 

 This meeting was in memory of Charles 

 Muhlendorfer, a charter member of the 

 association, who died a year ago. Mr. 

 Muhlendorfer in his "last will" donated $20 

 to the Gardeners of St. Louis, and this sum 

 was expended for refreshments during the 

 evening. Air. Muhlendorfer was one of the 

 old-time school of gardeners, having served 

 his apprenticeship in various noted establish- 

 ments in Germany and France. He was well 

 known among the local craft, and one who 

 never missed a meeting of the association. 

 He was connected with the Park Depart- 

 ment of St. Louis for more than fifteen 

 years. Ernest Strehle and the writer re- 

 lated incidents of Mr. Muhlendorfcr's life. 

 The evening was pleasantly spent in retro- 

 spect and reminiscences. 



During the short business session pre- 

 ceding the memorial and social part of the 

 evening the following resolution Vv'as passed 

 unanimously : 



Whereas, The St. Louis Association of 

 Gardeners are opposed to the wholesale 

 destruction of Redbud {Cercis camidensis), 

 and Flowering dogwood (Cornus Aoridd). 

 by automobilists and other visitors of the 

 woods, who break the plants to pieces for 

 the sake of the flowers, without considering 

 that by so doin.g, these charming plants will 

 rapidly disappear from the woodlands near 

 the roadsides throughout the State of 

 Missouri. 



Be it therefore Resolved, That the cor- 

 responding secretary be instructed to have 

 our protest made public through the press. 

 L. P. Tensen, Cor. Secy. 





TARRYTOWN HORT. SOCIETY 



The Jilay meeting of the above society was 

 held in the Alasonic Hall, May 17th. Presi- 

 dent Wilson presiding, and a large gathering 

 of members present, also a delagation from 

 \Yestchester and Fairfield Society. 



Wm. Scott's prize for best vase of out- 

 door flowers was won by A. Anderson with 

 a fine display of Iris. Very noticeable 

 amongst the other exhibits were several fine 

 plants of Calceolaria Stea'arti, a fine vase of 

 Codetta, also a splendid vase of Antirrhinidn 

 "Nelrose Pink." A Dahlia show was unani- 

 mously decided upon, to be held for the 

 benefit of the Tarrytown Hospital. A com- 

 mittee was appointed to co-operate with 

 Westchester and Fairfield Society to make 

 arrangements for Annual Field Day. James 

 Scott delivered a very interesting talk on 

 the Progressive Age of Horticulture. Mr. 

 Scott laid particular emphasis on the fact 

 that, while great strides have been made 

 with a certain number of plants and flowers, 

 yet there was a great field open, both for 

 new creations and improvement in a great 

 number of flowers, a study which Mr. Scott 

 believes could and should be taken up more 

 by gardeners on private estates. A vote of 

 thanks was extended Mr. Scott upon con- 

 clusion.

 Reporting Secretary.

Now — A Power Mower 

 for Medium Sized Lawns 



For years Ideal Power Lawn Mowers have been used for taking 

 care of large lawns. The thousands of Ideal Mowers in use have 

 definitely demonstrated their labor saving, money making 

 qualifications. 



However, there are thousands 

 of lawns hardly large enough to 

 warrant the purchase of a large 

 power mower, yet with so much 

 grass to cut that proper care be- 

 comes a big problem — and an ex. 

 pensive problem. 



It was for this vast number of 

 medium sized lawns that the 

 Ideal Junior Power Mower was 

 designed. It is moderate in price, 

 dependable, easy to handle, and 

 costs little to operate. 



The Ideal Junior is exactly the 

 right machine for homes with 

 lawns too large to conveniently 

 care ^ for with hand mowers— for 

 mowing the putting greens on 

 golf courses— and for parks and 

 cemeteries as an auxiliary unit
