Producing Baskets is 

 Child's Play 



There are thousands of basket makers in the country 

 who can make any sort of basket you want; any color 

 desired can be put on them by a painter; any designer 

 can give you the shape or style desired; but what will 

 these cost you when they are finished? 

 In the Neidinger factory you have all these skilled hands 

 so trained that baskets of all styles can be made and 

 put on ' the market at such low prices that they have 

 caused remarks to be passed — "they are losing money on 

 their baskets." Yet we go on increasing our force until 

 now we have the largest basket shop in the florists' sup- 

 ply business. We are still turning out large quantities 

 of the newest styles and still selling at the supposed 

 ridiculously low prices. We are not getting rich, but we 

 are making a profit; at any rate, you are not interested 

 what profit we make or if we make any. So here goes 

 for another of Neidinger 's new creations and still at the 

 low figure.

followed. The following made appli- 

 cations for membership: Paul Eeden, 

 J. J. Karins, Joseph Deutschmann, A. 

 Faber, F. Sanders, J. W, Reese, W. J. 

 Wright, A. P. Shaad and R. C. Kerr, 

 the last-named of Houston, Tex. 



The members recommended President 

 Bourdet for the appointment as state 

 vice-president of the S. A. F. for 1917. 

 President-elect E. C. Kerr of the S. 

 A. F., who was present, promised the 

 appointment when he took office, Jan- 

 uary 1. 



The opportunity to hold a fall flower 

 show at one of the department stores 

 was offered to the club, but by vote it 



was decided not to accept the invita- 

 tion. The meeting then adjourned. 



The members were then taken in 

 hand by the officers of the St. Louis 

 Wholesale Cut Flower Co., which had 

 invited the members to partake of a 

 lunch on the first floor of the building. 

 Before leaving, a rousing three cheers 

 were given the new company by the 

 members. 



Various Notes. 



Frank Weber, of the H. J. Weber & 

 Sons Nursery Co., reports a big demand 

 for nursery stock of all kinds. The 

 Sanders and the Westover nurseries 



also say that they have had a busy 

 season. 



George H. Pring, who has charge of 

 the big orchid houses at the Missouri 

 Botanical Garden, exhibited several 

 blooms of the new water lily, Mrs. 

 Edwards Whitaker, at the Florists' 

 Club's meeting. It is blue in color. 



C. M. Weintz, of Arkansas City, 

 Kan., has leased the greenhouses of 

 Mrs. Waldman, known as Pine Lawn 

 Greenhouses. Mr. Weintz will erect 

 new houses on this place next summer. 



A. Cobey, proprietor of Cobey Flower 

 Store, Detroit, Mich., has been spend-
