Club Meeting. 



The annual meeting of the St. Louis 

 Florists* Club was held August 12 in 

 Kirkwood, Mo., at the home of W. J. 

 Edwards on Woodlawn avenue, and the 

 members were entertained jointly by 

 Mr. Edwards and W. C. Smith. 



The election of officers created special 

 interest this year among the members 

 and the attendance, consequently, was 

 the largest of the year. When President 

 Hummert called the meeting to order 

 at 2:30 p. m., seventy-three members 

 were present; a few coming later 

 brought the total up to eighty. 



The trustees reported on the recent 

 florists' picnic, which was one of the 

 most successful ever given by the club, 

 '"he publicity committee reported 

 through Chairman Bourdet. In the ab- 

 sence of W. J. Pilcher, state viee-presi- 

 '!ent of the S. A. F., Chairman Hummert 

 ead his report, in which he stated that 

 thirty-eight reservations had been made 

 1 or the trip to Cleveland. 



Anton Horn was elected to member- 

 ship and applications were presented by 

 the following: Alexander Johnson, J. 

 ^Vies, Eoland Hoerr, Claude Wisley, 

 ^ rank Hespen, Fred Michel, W. Blair 



Impson, S. F. Leyser and Mrs. Frank 

 Biechard. Several communications were 

 read and ordered filed for further con- 

 sideration at the next meeting. 



The following officers were then 

 elected: President, W. A. Rowe; vice- 

 president, William H. Ossick; secretary, 

 J. J. Beneke; treasurer, W. C. Smith; 

 3-year term trustee, L. Baumann. W. 

 A. Eowe and L. Baumann, having no 

 opposition, were elected by acclama- 

 tion. There were three candidates for 

 the office of vice-president and William 

 H. Ossick was the choice of the mem- 

 bers. 



For secretary there were two candi- 

 dates, Geo. H. Pring and J. J. Beneke. 

 The real interest seemed to center on 

 this office and excitement ran high when 

 the ballots were being counted; the re- 

 sult showed that J. J. Beneke had been 

 reelected. The office of treasurer, as 

 usual, had no opposition and the ever 

 faithful W. C. Smith was reelected for 

 the thirteenth time. 



The treasurer's report showed a 

 healthy balance. The trustees were 

 ordered to audit the books of the secre- 

 tary and treasurer and report at the 

 next meeting. 



A. S. Cerny reported that the county 

 growers' annual picnic would take place 

 at Little Creve Coeur lake September 

 2 and invited all to attend. The club 

 donated a special prize of $10. 



A rising vote of thanks was extended 

 to W. J. Edwards and W. C. Smith for 

 the enjoyable afternoon.

 September 9, when the new officers will

After the meeting adjourned, the 

 members were invited to partake of re- 

 freshments, which included a dozen of 

 the largest watermelons; these were 

 donated by Thomas C. Carr and were 

 a real treat. Before leaving, the mem- 

 bers gave three cheers for their hosts. 



Publicity Committee Meets. 



A special meeting of the publicity 

 committee was held August 12 at head- 

 quarters, 1316 Pine street. Chairman 

 Bourdet presided over the meeting; 

 there was a good attendance and much 

 special business was transacted.
