The Florists' Review j^" ^o. i916 



The secretary was instructed to write 

 to the Betail Plorists' Association, ask- 

 ing it to affiliate itself with the Flo- 

 rists' Club, become an auxiliary and 

 conduct its affairs through a retaU com- 

 mittee appointed by the club. 



Before adjourning, a rising vote of 

 thanks was given Mr. Bourdet for his 

 entertainment. The next meeting will 

 be held August 10, at 2 o'clock. 



Various Notes. 



H. C. Irish, secretary of the National 

 Commercial Apple Growers ' Association, 

 has mailed programs for the first con- 

 vention of this association, to be held 

 at the Warwick hotel. Fifteenth and Lo- 

 cust streets, August 2 and 3. There will 

 be two sessions each day. Senator H. 

 M. Dunlap will call the meeting to 

 order. A large attendance is expected. 



Mr. and Mrs. Jules Bourdet left July 

 17, with their family, for a ten days' 

 stay in the Ozark mountains. The trip 

 was made in Mr. Bourdet 's touring car. 



Martin Lechner and Walter Young, 

 who are with the soldiers on the Mex- 

 ican border, write that they are in the 

 best of health. Both expect to be gone 

 until the first of the year and possibly 

 longer. We shall miss these two live 

 wires at the picnic this week. 



James Arado, for many years head of 

 the cut flower department of C. Young 

 & Sons Co., is reported critically ill and 

 the family physician has given up hopes 

 of his recovery. He has been ill for 

 several months. 



John Connon, for many years head of 

 the Connon Floral Co., at Webster 

 Groves, will leave this week with his 

 family for Twin Falls, Idaho, where 

 they will make their future home. His 

 many friends in the trade wish him 

 much prosperity in his new home. 



Henry Ostertag, head of Ostertag 

 Bros., says the summer so far has been 

 good to him. Business has been brisk, 

 especially in funeral work. 



Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Windier have been 

 away for two weeks, spending a vaca- 

 tion at Valley Park, and boating and 

 fishing in the Meramec river. On Mr. 

 Windier 's return, Ed Guntly will take a 

 few weeks' vacation at the same place. 



The transportation committee of the 

 Florists' Club for the trip to Houston, 

 for the S. A. F. convention, has been 

 advised that the round-trip rate, via 

 New Orleans, will be $32.65. Anyone 

 contemplating going should inform Da- 

 vid Geddis, chairman of the committee. 



The wholesale florists closed at noon 

 July 20, so that all could attend the 

 picnic at Bomona park, the event of 

 the year for the St. Louis florists and 

 their families. A great many of the 

 retail shops also closed. 



The Westover Nursery Co., of Clay- 

 ton, has established a city office at 1444 

 Syndicate Trust building. H. M. En- 

 dres, vice-president of the company, 

 says that they are busy getting the 

 place ready for the fall business. 



Chas. H. Gelven, of Gelven's Green- 

 houses, Cape Girardeau, Mo., spent a 

 day in the wholesale district buying 

 supplies. Mr. Gelven says he is one of 

 the original readers of The Review and 

 has never missed a copy since the first 

 issue. 



The Lafly Florists' Home Circle was 

 entertained July 12 by Mrs. Andrew 

 Meyer, Jr., at her home on South Jef- 

 ferson avenue. A pleasant afternoon 

 -was spent. Mrs. Otto G. Koenig will re- 

 •ceive the ladies next month.
