season a number in Hie trade have be* 

 come baseball fans, among them Fred 

 Hermann, F. Gorly, Joseph Frank, J. 

 J. Bentzen, C. A. Kuehn, Al Gumz, Tony 

 Bova, George Berner and Gteorge Kueh- 

 ner. All saw the opening games. 



Visitors last week were Frank John- 

 son and Edward Galavan, of the A. L. 

 Bandall Co., Chicago, looking after the 

 opening of the factory in the south end, 

 and Julius Dilloff, representing 

 Wertheimer Bros., NeW York. 



The death of E. C. Simmons, presi- 

 dent of the Simmons Hardware Co., last 

 week gave the florists plenty of work. 

 Many telegraph orders were filled. Mr. 

 Simmons was a member of the Garden 

 Club and took an active part in ar- 

 rangements for the flower show next 

 month. 



W. C. Smith reports that beaded wood 

 for the making of wood easels is hard 

 to obtain and the many advance orders 

 will have to be held up until a new 

 supply arrives. In the meantime the 

 factory is at a standstill. 



Eeports came into the wholesale dis- 

 trict April 20 that the Macon Green- 

 houses and the Still HUdreth Green- 

 houses, at Macon, Mo., had been 

 wrecked by the heavy wind and hail 

 storm on the afternoon of April 19, 

 which was verified by the afternoon 

 press. 



Foster the Florist furnished the dec- 

 orations for the christening of the new 

 steel barges at the foot of Locust street 

 April 19. The work was elaborate and 

 highly commented upon. The big job 

 was executed by John J. Burke, the 

 company's designer. The cost ran a 

 little over $1,000.

center of attraction on busy Washing- 

 ton avenue and is crowded daily. The 

 firm's daily large display advertising 

 is creating much business. 



At a meeting of the East St'. Louis 

 park board last week Emmet P. Griffin 

 was reappointed superintendent of pub- 

 lic parks. Spencer Ellsworth was 

 elected secretary and John H. Thomas 

 president of the board. 



George Deutschmann, on the Manches- 

 ter road, in Kirkwood, has erected a 

 large signboard in front of his place, 

 using only the slogan, "Say It with 

 Flowers." This is the first billboard 

 among the county growers and it at- 

 tracts a great deal of attention from 

 passengers in the many pleasure cars 

 passing there daily. 



There is a movement on foot among 

 the retailers, wholesalers and growers 

 to have all delivery trucks in the trade 

 painted the same colors, with the slogan 

 "Say It with Flowers" in the center. 

 This, they say, would create much pub- 

 licity and the public would soon know 

 a florists' delivery car by its color. 



Albert Senger and C. E. De Wever 

 have a fine lot of hydrangeas that came 

 in too late for Easter. Of these the 

 trade bought heavily last week and they 

 sold well on special sales days. 



The arrangements have been com- 

 pleted for the first flower show given

by the St. Louis Garden Club at the 

 Missouri Botanical Garden. Programs, 

 entry blanks and display posters have 

 been mailed to all in the trade. The 

 show will be held in the big show house 

 and will be free to the public. Mrs. E. 

 J. Walsh, secretary of the club, says 

 a number of entries have already been 

 mailed in from commercial florists and 

 that a successful exhibition is assured. 

 Miss Esther James was crushed to 

 death by an elevator April 25, at the 

 store of Grimm & Gorly, where she was 

 employed as a salesgirl. She had run 

 the passenger elevator from the first 

 floor to the basement and left it stand- 

 ing unoccupied with the door open. For 

 some unknown reason, the elevator 

 started to move back to the first floor. 

 When the girl saw it stiarting, she ran 

 and attempted to climb into it. The 

 lower part of her body, which was sus- 

 pended from the floor of the elevator 

 cage, was crushed as the car moved up-
