The members of the St. Louis Asso- 

 ciation of Gardeners should not forget 

 the meeting of the association which 

 takes place Wednesday night, Decem- 

 ber 3, at the municipal greenhouses, 

 5800 Oakland avenue. The discussions 

 on park management by Ernest Strehle 

 and the park floral displays by John 

 Moritz will be interesting and a large 

 attendance is looked for. 



Frank Gorly, of Grimm & Gorly, and 

 Albert Gumz, of the Windier Wholesale 

 Floral Co., visited the county growers 

 last week. While on the road out Mr. 

 Gumz's machine got into a smash-up, 

 but no one was hurt. Another machine 

 was soon at hand and they proceeded 

 on their way and spent a most pleasant 

 day among the growers. 



The chrysanthemum show at the Mis- 

 souri Botanical Garden is now at its 

 height and great crowds are in attend- 

 ance daily. After the mum season, be- 

 ginning December 15, there will be an 

 exhibition of poinsettia plants and of 

 the garden's rare collection of orchids. 

 This exhibition will be in charge of 

 George H. Pring. 



The St. Louis County Growers' As- 

 sociation will hold its last meeting in 

 the old year on Wednesday night, De- 

 cember 3, at the Eleven Mile House. 

 Secretary Deutschmann says there are 

 some important matters to be disposed 

 of and he looks for a large attendance. 



Visitors last week were Adolph Niel- 

 sen, of Pana, 111.; Mr. Florentine, of 

 the A. L. Bandall Co., Chicago; Ove 

 Gnatt, of the Ove Gnatt Co., La Porte, 

 Ind.; J. J. Karins, representing Henry 

 A. Dreer, Inc., Philadelphia, and Wil- 

 liam Montgomery, Santa Cruz, Cal. All 

 spent several days here calling on the 

 trade and all report splendid road trips. 



Mrs. N. E. Kelly, of luka, HI., spent 

 a few days here last week calling on 

 friends. Mrs. Kelly reports a splen- 

 did business season in cut flowers and 

 plants. 



The publicity committee is placing 

 some effective advertisements in the 

 daily papers, which according to several 

 leading retailers help greatly in selling 

 the big surplus of mums that are now 

 consigned daily to this market. A large 

 Thanksgiving advertisement appeared 

 in the Sunday papers of November 23. 



Martin Seegar, of the Mullanphy 

 Florists, and Vincent Gorly, of Grimm 

 & Gorly, leading downtown florists, said

they expected their biggest Thanksgiv- 

 ing business this year, judging from the 

 way advance orders were coming in. 



Carr & Eichardson put in another 

 big week on large social decorations, 

 with four large ones booked for this 

 week. Business is booming here. 



Mrs. Smith, bill clerk for the W. C. 

 Smith Wholesale Floral Co., has resigned 

 her position and, beginning December 1,

 is back attending to his duties after a 

 two weeks' lay-off with a lame arm, 

 caused by an attack of rheumatism. 



Charles Young, head of the C. Young 

 & Sons Co., says that while fall bulbs 

 were in heavy supply this year, the 

 firm was so fortunate as to hav6 big 

 mail orders which will clean them up 

 well. This firm is having the best 

 season in years. 



Henry L. Muskopf, of Muskopf & 

 Irish; Charles Fullgraf, L. ^aumann 

 and John Houlihan, landscape garden- 

 ers, say the fine weather of late has

 Oi the Florists' Club. It should have 

 read that W. J. Edwards showed the 

 carnations and Mr. Cerny exhibited a 

 fine vase of well grown Premier roses. 

 The change in alleys made by the 

 ' ' Say It with Flowers ' ' Bowling League 

 was for the better, as great improvement 

 was made in scores at the bowling 

 meeting November 9. The Sweet Pea 

 team again went down in defeat, los- 

 ing three games to the Daisies; that is 

 the ninth straight defeat of the Sweet 

 Peas and puts them in third place. As 

 the Koses won the odd game from the 

 Carnations, these two teams are now 

 tied for first place, with the Sweet Peas
