trip to Pana, 111., Indianapolis^ Ind., and 

 Bichmond, Ind., where they will spend 

 the week visiting the various growers. 



J. F. Ammann, secretary of the Na- 

 tional Flower Growers' Association, re- 

 grets that he cannot attend the St. 

 Louis district branch executive commit- 

 tee meeting, at Pana, 111., as he will be 

 at St. Paul, Minn., on the date of this 

 meeting. 



All members of the Florists' Club who 

 have not as yet made returns for tickets 

 sent them for the club dance were re- 

 quested to attend to this at once, as the 

 trustees want to make a final report. 

 Those who have not used the tickets 

 should return them, failing which they 

 will be charged up with them. 



Eighteen new members have been 

 added to the St. Lous district branch of 

 the National Flower Growers' Associa- 

 tion, making the total fifty. 



The automobile show last week cre- 

 ated a fine demand for decorations at 

 the various displays and many corsages 

 ■were worn by society ladies attending 

 the show. Julius SchaefEer, of Vander- 

 voort's floral department, had the bulk 

 of the decorations at the show. 



Harry Wagner, of Kirkwood, Mo., 

 who grows greens for the Windier 

 Wholesale Floral Co., had a large daily 

 cut of fancy smilax and asparagus, both 

 plumosus and Sprengeri. Harry says 

 the consignments cleaned up daily. 



Frank X. Gorly, of Grimm & Gorly, 

 says business has kept up wonderfully 

 well since Lent set in. Their great St. 

 Valentine's day window display front- 

 ing busy Washington avenue attracted 

 much attention. Telegraph orders since 

 the first of the year have been heavy. 



Fred Grossart, horticulturist at the 

 University of Nebraska, Lincoln, Neb., 

 will resign his position next month and 

 start a landscape gardening business in 

 St. Louis, with offices in the^hemical 

 building, Eighth and Olive streets. 



The W. A. Eowe Co., of Kirkwood, 

 Mo., sent in its first cut of Darwin tulips 

 last week. This firm is specially heavy 

 in bulbous stock of all kinds. It expects 

 to build a large addition of glass this 

 summer for carnations, for which Mr. 

 Eowe contracted on his recent trip to 

 Chicago. The American Greenhouse 

 Manufacturing Co. has the contract. 



C. A. Kuehn has had a fine, daily sup- 

 ply of Scotch heather of extra fine qual- 

 ity. Pierre Schneider's splendid cut of 

 carnations .and sweet peas is consigned 

 to this market. 



Thomas C. Carr was quite sick last 

 week and confined to his bed, but is on 

 the job again this week. 



Oscar May, of Sappington, Mo., 

 started, February 14, cutting a big crop 

 of fancy Spencer sweet peas. 



The leaders in the "Say It with Flow- 

 ers" bowling league again had a set- 

 back. Captain Herman's leading Car- 

 nations lost two of the three games to 

 the Gladiolus team and Captain Kueh- 

 ner's Eoses suffered defeat at the hands 

 of the Sweet Peas. Interest is growing 

 each week. A few more defeats for the 

 leaders and all will be on an equal foot- 



ing.

There has been little change in mar- 

 ket conditions since last week. Busi- 

 ness for the greater part has been un- 

 certain, some days being brisk and 

 good, giving the retailers renewed hope

 Florist-Boxes 



While the firm name 

 has changed, the 

 name of our florist- 

 boxes remains the 

 same — Bulls Florist- 

 Boxes. These boxes 

 come to you 

 knocked down flat 

 and occupy little 

 space. They may 

 be reshipped many 

 times. The corners 

 of the covers clasp 

 like a glove and 

 hold tight. The 

 sides of the boxes 

 are held In position 

 by "fish-hook" fas- 

 teners, while beinc 

 fllled. No glue or 

 tools needed. Write 

 "Gaylord" for prices. 



TT means that you get the same 

 -'- high-grade corrugated fibreboard 

 boxes, and the same prompt, ac- 

 curate service imder the "Gaylord" 

 organization that you formerly en- 

 joyed under the name of "Bulis." 

 Not a man has been replaced nor a 

 machine changed. Identical mate- 

 rials are being used in the boxes. 

 No changes are contemplated for 

 the future, except such as the rajud 

 growth of "Qaylord" sales demand. 



Well-filled warehouses containing 

 boxes in stock sizes, and our loca- 

 tion at the Terminal Yards in St. 

 Louis, the commercial center of the 

 country, make "Gaylord" the logical 

 headquarters for corrugated boxes. 

 Let "Gaylord" figure on your re- 

 quirements for stock or special 

 made-to-order boxes.
