ST. LOUIS NOTES. 



Grimm & Gorly had a flower show 

 last week, having bought all the plants 

 of the late flower show which at- 

 tracted a great many people to their 

 Washington avenue store. 



Mrs. M. Fleshman will open the 

 flower store in the Planters' Hotel on 

 Monday, November 21. This is the 

 old stand of the Riessen Floral Co.. 

 who used it as a branch store until 

 a few years ago. 



The new stores opened in the West 

 End recently— H. Young & Son, San- 

 ders' Nursery and C. Young & Sons- 

 say that business has been good with 

 them since their opening. All make 

 attractive displays. 



"Billy" Smith, who was badly hurt 

 by an automobile which ran into his 

 buggy recently, is out again and none 

 the worse from the smash-up, but the 

 week's confinement at home was not 

 to his liking as he missed seeing all 

 his friends during the flower show 

 week. 



Secretary Beneke of the Florist Club 

 says that the officers of the club are at 

 work to make the last meeting in the 

 year. December 12th, an interesting 

 one and that the trustees have some- 

 thins: in store for the members that 

 will make the meeting an interesting 

 one with the usual good smoke during 

 the session. 



The annual Chrysanthemum Show 

 of the Missouri Botanical Garden did 

 not take place as advertised. The 

 exhibition was all ready in a large 

 tent for the opening on Monday. No- 

 vember 13. when a big rain and wind 

 storm came along on Saturday night 

 which wrecked the tent and plants, 

 and the big drop in the weather well- 

 nigh froze all the plants. The man- 



agement say that the entire 500 va- 

 rieties are a total loss. The public 

 were much disappointed in not being 

 able to view this annual free exhibi- 

 tion.
