tops. Still, these are the best sollera on 

 the market today. 



Carnations are almost at an end. They 

 are small and weak-stemmed. Eoses, too, 

 show the effects of the hot, dry spell, 

 especially the home-grown and fancy 

 stock. Both are out of the question at 

 present. 



The aster crop promises well this sea- 

 son and will greatly help to fill the de- 

 mand. Hydrangeas and tuberoses, which 

 are now coming in, should be in good 

 crop. Valley, lilies and orchids are 

 scarce in this market. Gypsophila, gail- 

 lardia and cornflowers have little value 

 these dull days. There is always a big 

 demand for greens, especially asparagus 

 and smilax. 



Summer-flowering plants are scarce 

 and only ferns, gloxinias and tuberous- 

 rooted begonias are seen in the florists' 

 windows. 



Various Notes. 



Meetings of the various local florists' 

 organizations to be held during the 

 month of August are as follows: St. 

 Louis Florists' Club, Thursday after- 

 noon, August 14; St. Louis County Grow- 

 ers' Association, Wednesday night, 

 August 6; Lady Florists' Club, Tuesday 

 afternoon, August 5; St. Louis Associa- 

 tion of Gardeners, Sunday, August 3, 

 and the Retail Florists' Association, 

 August 11. All these meetings take 

 place before the St. Louis florists leave 

 for Detroit to attend the S. A. F. con- 



vention. Any members of these organ- 

 izations wishing to travel on the florists* 

 special should make it known to their 

 secretary, who in turn will send the 

 names to the transportation committee. 



The Lady Florists' Club will hold its 

 monthly meeting at the home of Mrs. 

 A. S. Cerny, 436 South Van Buren ave- 

 nue, Kirkwood, Mo., Tuesday afternoon, 

 August 5. Important matters will come 

 up for discussion, including S. A. F. con- 

 vention matters. 



Fred Seibel has leased the old Bleeck- 

 ert place, on Labadie avenue. It will be 

 used for growing plants. He has also 

 bought out the Townsend Floral Co., on 

 Boyle avenue, which will be remodeled 

 into a first-class retail establishment. 

 His old place, on Pennsylvania avenue, 

 has been returned to the former owner, 

 F. W. Pape. 



Pierre Schneider is busy superintend- 

 ing the construction of his new green- 

 house, on the Olive street road, in St. 

 Louis county. The new house will be 

 used for carnations. Mr. Schneider had 

 given up the old Connon place, at Web- 

 ster Groves, Mo. 



August 25 was ' ' Say It with Flowers ' ' 

 night at the Municipal Opera in Forest 

 park. A section was reserved for the 

 florists and nearly fifty were present. 

 The attraction furnished excellent pub- 

 licity for the trade. 



The Missouri Botanical Garden is 

 building four new houses, 21x100 feet. 

 The material is being furnished by Lord 



WM. C. SMITH

Harry Heitmann, on Labadie avenue, 

 says it is remarkable the way business

 since the season closed. The bulk of the 

 business now is in funeral work.
