HAIL HITS KENTUCKY. 



Not only did Chicago florists suffer 

 from hail recently, but Paducah, Ky., 

 waa a victim, and here the damage 

 reached $50,000, the florists being heavy 

 losers. The storm occurred March 15, 

 accompanied by a downpour of rain. 



Schmaus Bros, suffered the heaviest 

 loss, the damage being estimated at $10,- 

 000; that is, to the greenhouses. The 

 damage to the flowers is unknown, but it 

 may reach an additional $5,000, it is 

 said. Henry Schneidman stated that 

 almost every pane of glass was broken, 

 as some of the hailstones were as large 

 aa hen's eggs. Neighbors rallied to his 

 aid and loaned tarpaulins and other 

 coverings to protect the plants. How- 

 ever, if a cold spell hits Kentucky the 

 entire stock will undoubtedly be ruined, 

 as it will take several weeks before 

 a sufficient amount of glass will be se- 

 cured. 



The greenhouses owned by John Van 

 Aart were also damaged considerably, 

 but the estimate here is only $500. The 

 greenhouse of G. R. Noble was practi- 

 cally demolished. 



ST. LOUIS RETAILERS MEET. 



The St. Louis Retail Florists' Asso- 

 ciation meeting, which took place March 

 15, was a lively and enthusiastic one. 



There were fifty per cent of the mem- 

 bers present and some good discussions 

 on the coming Easter business and the 

 past St. Valentine's day trade were 

 held. Among the various subjects in dis- 

 cussion were delivery and overhead ex- 

 pense. 



The plan of the association is to in- 

 crease the membership to 100 per cent 

 and each member is requested to bring a 

 new member for the next meeting, which 

 takes place the second Monday in April. 



All retail florists are requested to at- 

 tend the next meeting and become mem- 

 bers of this association.
