The feature of the year was a gigantic 

 hailstorm which was destructive from Web- 

 ster Grove, Mo., to Edwardsville, III., and 

 which damaged greenhouse structures over 

 a space of three miles wide by forty miles 

 long. 



Baltimore. Md., and Staunton, Va., were 

 also visited by storms of exceptional sever- 

 ity. 



Notwithstanding the levy of two Assess- 

 ments during the past year the increase in 

 amount of glass Insured is about 1,000,000 

 sq. ft. over last year's report. 



JOHN G. ESLER, Secretary. 



& Co., Chicago, and H. Rowoldt, of 

 Kyle & Foerster, Chicago, were vis- 

 itors last week, the former on a busi- 

 ness trip and the latter on his way 

 south for a vacation. 



The Apple Growers will meet in St. 

 Louis this month, 22-23. At a meet- 

 ing of the executive board which met 

 last week at the Planters Hotel, a 

 program which will be quite interest- 

 ing was mapped out. 



The new building being erected for 

 C. C. Sanders at 623 Clara avenue, 

 was nearly completed when it col- 

 lapsed on Wednesday and killed a 

 workman. Mr. Sanders says the loss 

 will fall on the contractor, but it will 

 put them back two months.
