week, calling on the trade and buying 

 supplies. They report business good in 

 all lines. 



James M. North, on Easton avenue, 

 near the city limits, reports that early 

 next year he will wreck the present 

 store and build a large show house with 

 an attractive front. 



Pierre Schneider, who recently built 

 a new range at Clayton, has started cut- 

 ting carnations and sweet peas, which 

 are of fine quality. 



Visitors during the last week were 

 Julius Dilloff, of Wertheimer Bros., New 

 York; George Madsen, Alton, 111.; M. F. 

 Widmer, of Highland, 111.; Gust Gros- 

 sart and M. Schoenberger, Belleville, 

 111.; H. Blixen and L. R. Smith, Ed- 

 wardsville. 111.; Charles G. Johann, Col- 

 Hnsville, 111, 



Edward Steitz, who has charge of 

 the bulbs at Vandervoort's floral depart- 

 ment, says the sales last week were 

 larger than any year since the opening 

 of that branch. 



Ernest Henchel, for the last ten years 

 foreman for Sanders Nursery, has re- 

 signed his position. Edgar Sanders, 

 who recently returned from China, 

 where he served in the navy, and his 

 brother Frank will have charge of the 

 greenhouses and Oliver K. will be man- 

 ager of the retail store, on Clara avenue. 



Mr. and Mrs. Gust W. Grossart, of 

 Belleville, were visitors at the city 

 greenhouses' mum show during the 

 week. Their son, Arno, who manages 

 the retail end of their establishment, 

 reports trade excellent in all lines. 



Every Wednesday night finds a full 



attendance of florist bowlers at the 

 alleys. November 12 the Carnations 

 surprised all by winning three games 

 from the strong Sweet Peas, who gave 

 them a 30-pin handicap, and the Daisies, 

 with a 25-pin handicap, won the odd 

 game from the Roses. The standing of 

 the teams, including last Wednesday's 

 bowling, shows the Carnations and 

 Sweet Peas in a tie for first place, with 

 the Roses only one game out of first 

 place and the Daisies trailing the 

 league. New alleys have been selected 

 and, beginning November 19, the teams 

 will bowl at the northeast corner of 

 Compton and Shenandoah avenues, 

 where better bowling is looked for.
