 this kind a success. 



Prof. H. C. Irish, Jules Bourdet, H. 

 C. Berning, W. A. Eowe, F. A. Windier 

 and A. H. Hununert all responded with 

 good talks for the association's suc- 

 cess. 



New Officers. 



The election of officers resulted in 

 the choice of the following members 

 for the various offices: President, L. 

 H. Archias, Sedalia, Mo.; vice-presi- 

 dent, W. A. Eowe, St. Louis; secretary, 

 J. J. Beneke, St. Louis, and treasurer, 

 P- A. Manson, Pleasant Hill. The new 

 officers were at once installed. It was 

 ^oted that the chair appoint twelve 

 vice-presidents from all parts of the 

 state. 



It was decided by vote that the as- 

 sociation should meet again this fall 

 in Kansas City, at which time an ex- 

 hi^/ition of flowers would be held, and

recently built, they have paid particular 

 attention to the window, as the accom- 

 panying illustration will show. The 

 window must have the power of cre- 

 ating the desire for the product and 

 Grimm & Gorly make it a point that 

 their window, although one of the best 

 in construction, shall not lack suitable 

 decorations.

'he show window, the silent sales-

The Market. 



The market continues to be fair. It 

 is not possible, as yet, to make ship- 

 ments to all points by express, but con- 

 ditions appear to be improving. As far 

 as the cut flower market is concerned, 

 stock in general appears to be fairly 

 plentiful, the quality keeping up re- 

 markably well. There is a heavy sup- 

 ply of Easter lilies on hand, which, un- 

 fortunately, do not move as rapidly as 

 might be wished for. The daily ship- 

 ments of roses are meeting all demands 

 and include excellent stock. Ophelia, 

 which is of excellent color just now, 

 sells well. Columbia, Hoosier Beauty, 

 Sunburst, Ward, Killarney, Premier, 

 Maryland and Martinet are included in 

 the offerings. Snapdragons are in fair 

 supply and of good quality. They sell 

 readily. Carnations are coming into 

 their own again. 



Everything available for Mothers' 

 day was cut and scarcely anything was 

 in sight for a few days afterward. The 

 supply of sweet peas keeps up well and 

 excellent stock is seen, for which there 

 is a good demand. Bulbous stock is 

 practically over now and only outdoor 

 stock is seen. Calendulas are in good 

 demand and sell at fair prices. Yellow 

 daisies are quite plentiful, with a 

 medium sale. Mignonette, forget-me- 

 nots, cut primroses and other flowers 



are all in good demand. There is a 

 good supply of palms, rubber plants, 

 ferns, etc., on hand and sales continue 

 to be good. Cut greens are fairly plen- 

 tiful and sell well^ the demand being 

 about usual. 



Much disappointment and anxiety are 

 being felt by a great number of the 

 growers at the continued cold and dull 

 weather experienced in this locality. 

 About two good days of warm weather 

 is all we have had since before Easter. 



Greenhouses in which bedding stock 

 is grown each year are filled to their 

 limit and, according to reports from 

 several growers, stock will be spoiled if 

 not moved soon. Scarcely any bedding 

 work has been done as yet and, although 

 the stores are showing good stock, little 

 is moving. 



Various Notes. 



The Genesee Wesleyan Seminary has 

 received a gift of a valuable collection 

 of shrubbery and rose bushes from 

 Chase Bros. Co., nurserymen of Roches- 

 ter. 



Horace J. Head, representative of 

 George B. Hart, has just returned from 

 a Pennsylvania trip. He expects to 

 sail for England Saturday, May 29, for 

 a two months' trip. 



The apartment of Mrs. George Ehle 

 was robbed recently and several pieces 

 of jewelry were stolen. H. J. H.
