The Florists^ Review 



Dkcembeb 30, 1920 



Gorly's east side branch, says it was a 

 great Christmas, much better than last 

 year. 



The wholesale houses of H. G. Ber- 

 ning, W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral Co., 

 Windier Wholesale Floral Co., C. A. 

 Kuehn and Geo. H. Angermueller ex- 

 perienced a heavy demand, both local 

 and shipping. 



The Koenig Floral Co. will furnish the 

 decorations incidental to the inaugura- 

 tion of Governor-elect Hyde, at Jeffer- 

 son City, Mo. Otto Koenig, head of the 

 firm, a prominent Eepublican, received 

 the order. 



W. C. Smith, treasurer of the Flo- 

 rists' Club, will entertain the officers of 

 the club at his home on Thurman ave- 

 nue January 6, when an interesting pro- 

 gram will be arranged for the meeting 

 of the Florists' Club to be held Janu- 

 ary 13. 



Thomas C. Carr, successor to the firm 

 of Carr & Eichardson, Union Market, ex- 

 perienced the best Christmas business in 

 the thirty years he has been in the trade. 

 The demand for greens, plants and cut 

 stock was heavy. 



The St. Louis County Growers' Asso- 

 ciation will hold its next yearly meeting 

 January 5 at the W. A. Kowe establish- 

 ment, Kirkwood, Mo. Interesting dis- 

 cussions will take place, regarding 

 Christmas business. President Martin 

 Ude expects a full attendance. 



The St. Louis Association of Garden- 

 ers is going to have a big New Year's 

 meeting, which will be held at the mu- 

 nicipal greenhouses, at Forest park. 

 President Jensen says the feature of the 

 meeting will be the installation of the 

 newly elected officers. Several interest- 

 ing discussions are also on the program. 



The florist bowlers will bowl regularly 

 each Wednesday, and commenced on 

 this schedule December 29. Members of 

 the trade are welcome to attend any 

 Wednesday night. 



The annual meeting of the St. Louis 

 district branch of the National Flower 

 Growers' Association will be held at 

 St. Louis January 25. The local com- 

 mittee, consisting of L. Jules Bourdet, 

 W. A. Rowe and C. E. DeWever, who have 

 all arrangements in hand, met December 

 29 to complete the program and enter- 

 tainment features. Growers who have re- 

 ceived application blanks for member- 

 ship should fill them out and return to 

 the secretary at once, as an attempt is 

 being made to increase the membership to 

 100 by the time of the annual meeting.
