consists of seven acres, a residence and 

 seven greenhouses; these will be used 

 for growing plants and cut flowers for 

 his own use. A new Kroeschell boiler 

 is being installed. 



As the hunting season is now in full 

 swing, Frank Windier, W. A. Rowe, Al 

 Gumz and Jules Bourdet, all noted ex- 

 perts with the gun, will be off on hiint- 

 ing trips this week; game is plentiful 

 and a big killing is expected. 



Of the various meetings to be held 

 this week, those of most importance are 

 the national flower show committee, of 

 which Jules Bourdet is chairman; the 

 state fair premium committee, of which 

 H. C. Irish is chairman, and the Mis- 

 souri State Florists' Association, of 

 which Frank A. Windier is vice-presi- 

 dent. J. J. B.

 mainstay of the market. The mainstay 

 is being withdrawn and there is nothing 

 to take its place and winter is here. To 

 make the market condition even clearer, 

 it may be added that many florists and 

 others who have been producers are now 

 consumers. They helped load the mar-
