A PASTORAL WINDOW SCENE. 



The accompanying illustration shows 

 how W. J. Palmer & Sons, the lead- 

 ing florists of Buffalo, N. Y., made 

 their show window a beautiful and 

 refreshing picture during the hot days 

 of early July. There was an old mill 

 with stream and water wheel and 

 mill pond bordered with trees, in 

 which pond lilies floated and gold fish 

 darted. On the bark rim turtles 

 sunned themselves and on a rustic 

 bridge sat a brownie fishing. Cool and 

 delightful it looked to the public as 



they passed along in the broiling heat 

 and they stood two and three deep 

 gazing into the refreshing scene and 

 apparently experiencing a sense of 

 comfort, as on a hot night in the thea- 

 tre, when a wintry scene is put on 

 the stage the ladies' fans all over the 

 house become motionless. 

 The question of appropriate window 

 adornment in the dull summer season 

 is a poser sometimes but there can be 

 no better test of its efficacy' than to 

 see a crowd of admirers constantly 

 around it. 



ST. LOUIS NOTES. 



C. Young & Sons Co. held a meeting 

 of stockholders and election of officers 

 last week. 



B. Eschner of M. Rice & Co., Phila- 

 delphia, is here this week calling on 

 the trade and will be a guest of the 

 trade at the Florists' picnic. 



P. M. Widener of Highland, Ills., 

 has bought the establishment of Am- 

 mann & Johanson at East St. Louis, 

 111., and Mr. Widener will take 

 charge July 15. 



Each of the wholesalers has given 

 $5 for prizes to be given at the Flor- 

 ists' picnic this week Thursday. The 

 Belleville florists, too, have offered 

 a good prize. 



Ludwig Zimmer. who has a floral 

 store at Biddle Market left last week 

 for a two months' trip to Germany 

 to visit his folks in Hamburg. His 

 store is closed for the summer. 



James Arado of Young's has returned 

 from his vacation fishing out west. 

 Will Young will spend his vacation at 

 Atlantic City. X. J., and Miss Kling 

 chief clerk at the greenhouses left 

 this week for a two weeks' trip to 

 Colorado Springs. 



PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 

 Messrs. Bunyard, Ebel, Maynard 

 and others of the Gardeners' Associa- 

 tion, held a meeting here on Monday. 

 By-laws were the principal subject 

 under discussion. David Rust, Wil- 

 liam Kleinheinz and John H. Dodds 

 were appointed a committee to con- 

 sider and report. 



Fred Gear, retail florist of Cincin- 

 nati, was a recent visitor on his way 

 to Atlantic City. He was the guest of 

 the Pennock-Meehan Co., and later of 

 M. Rice & Co. He says all cities look 

 alike to him, but such personalities 

 as Samuel S. Pennock, M. Rice and 

 E. J. Fancourt, makes Philadelphia 

 stand out to the eyes of Cincinnati. 

 The writer sent cordial messages to 

 Albert McCullough, J. Chas. and Dan, 

 and hopes they are selling lots of 

 Timothy. 



INCORPORATED. 



Los Angeles, Calif. — Ingleside Flor- 

 al Co., capital stock $20,000. Directors, 

 H. D. Ross, A. W. Ross and F. Ed- 

 ward Gray. 



Trenton, N. J.— Goeller Bros., flor- 

 ists, capital stock $10,000. Incorpor- 

 ators, Joseph M., Nicholas J. and 

 Martin J. Goeller. 



On the evening of the same day 

 (17th) a meeting of the joint com- 

 mittee on Fall Exhibition was held. 

 Neither Messrs. Stroud, Rust nor any 

 members of the trade were present, 

 so it would look as if no interest is 

 being taken by the trade, although as 

 we understand it. the reason for the 

 committee's existence is to get the 

 trade to take some interest. But the 

 P. H. S. deliberately shook the trade 

 interests for the private gardeners' 

 twenty years ago, and now that that 

 policy has proven to have been a mis- 

 take, it is too late to undo it.
