Puhlic notice is hereby given that 

 S. A. Anderson, of 440 Main street, 

 Buffalo, N. Y., offers for registration 

 the begonia described below. Any per- 

 son objecting to the registration or to 

 the use of the proposed name, is re- 

 quested to communicate with the sec-

 jection to the registration, the same

CLUB AND SOCIETY NOTES. 

 The election of officers at the last 

 Detroit Florists' Club meeting resulted 

 as follows; President, Geo. Brown; 

 vice-president, J. F. Sullivan; secre- 

 tary, H. Schroeter; treasurer. Robert 



Rahaley. Everybody is delighted to 

 have J. F. Sullivan among the officers 

 because his enthusiasm and earnest- 

 ness in club work is much needed at 

 this time. The annual outing to Bois 

 Blanc Isle will be held Aug. 29th. 



At the meeting of the Gardeners' 

 and Florists' Club of Baltimore, last 

 night (Aug. 7). there was the largest 

 attendance of the year. A good num- 

 ber of new members was added to the 

 roll. Chas. L. Seybold former superin- 

 tendent of Carroll Park and F. C. 

 Bauer returned yesterday from a Eu- 

 ropean trip of several weeks. 



The Retail Florists' Association of 

 St. Louis meets on Monday night, 

 August 14th. The great importance of 

 this meeting should bring out a very 

 large attendance. The meeting will be 

 held at S o'clock in the Knights of 

 Columbus Hall. (Why not hold it in 

 Baltimoie?— Ed.) 



State Vice-President Fred H. Weber 

 is rounding up quite a large delegation 

 to represent St. Louis at the conven- 

 tion next week at Baltimore. He ex- 

 pects to list a few more at the club 

 meeting this Thursday afternoon. 



The fall flower show by the Hor- 

 ticultural Society at the Coliseum 

 next November promises to be a good 

 one. The same week the Chrysanthe- 

 mum Society of America meets with 

 us. O. G. Koenig, secretary of the so- 

 ciety will be at the Convention to en- 

 list entries for the show.

MISSOURI'S FRUIT OUTLOOK. 



The State Board of Horticulture is in 

 receipt of special reports from corres- 

 pondents in all of the counties of the 

 state which show that the outlook for 

 a good apple crop is still excellent. 

 Taking the average condition of the 

 entire state, the outlook for the apple 

 crop has declined seven points, the 

 present estimate being thirty per cent, 

 of a full crop. The peach situation 

 remains practically unchanged, the 

 present estimate being 28.2 per cent. 

 as against 29.2 per cent, a month ago. 

 Since a large number of these reports 

 are based upon seedling peaches, the 

 estimate will have to be cut in half. 

 The outlook for grapes is excellent, the 

 average for the state being seventy- 

 five to eighty per cent. Blackberries 

 and similar fruits were almost a fail- 

 ure except in the southwestern coun- 

 ties. 



There is some complaint of drought 

 injury but it does not seem to be se- 

 rious. Unless there are heavy rains 

 apples will be smaller than usual but 

 the color and quality will be unusually 

 good. Fruit has dropped badly where 

 trees were unsprayed and uncultivated. 

 There is no rot but scab is prevalent. 



Nearly all sections of the state have 

 lately had rains so that the situation 

 as regards apples certainly ought not 

 to grow any worse, and it is believed 

 that it will materially improve as ad- 

 ditional moisture in the soil will cause 

 the fruit to increase in size very rapid- 

 ly. It now seems that nothing can 

 prevent an apple crop which will be 

 fully 200 per cent, greater than was 

 harvested in the state last year.
