It is still early to talk about the S. 

 A. F. convention at Washington, D. C, 

 and who 's going from here, but it is go- 

 ing to be a large party, from what can 

 be learned this early. August H. Hum- 

 mert, state vice-president for eastern 

 Missouri, will have charge of the trans- 

 portation and the selection of the route. 



Otto Klinger, window display artist 

 for Grimm & Gorly, exhibited two of 

 the most attractive Memorial day win- 

 dow displays ever seen here. They held 

 the attention of the crowds along busy 

 Washington avenue all through the last 

 week. Frank Gorly says it is remark- 

 able the way the business keeps up. 



S. A. Kost, inventor of the soil pul- 

 verizer, spent a few days in this city 

 last week, representing the William F. 

 Kasting Co., Buffalo, N. Y. While here 

 Mr. Kost arranged to place one of his 

 pulverizers on exhibition with the Wm. 

 C. Smith Wholesale Floral Co. Mr. Kost 

 travels in a Dodge automobile. 



Michel Reiter, 24 years old, son of 

 John M. Reiter, gardener for the United 

 States Public Health Service hospital,

 is well known among the local garden- 

 ers, who extended their sympathy.

 wrecking the old houses, facing Tower 

 Grove avenue, next week and will re- 

 place them with new show houses. 

 Other improvements, too, arc contem- 

 jilatcd. The plant business this year 

 lias been the best since the company 

 was established. 



W. H. Krnse, the Ars(Mial street flo- 

 rist, says he has had more business 

 Mothers' day and since than he could 

 handle. Several large weddings fea- 

 tured last month's business. His range 

 of glass, at Kirkwood, produced a fine 

 lot of pot plants and bedding stock. 



The old St. Clair Floral Co., at Belle- 

 ville, 111., which has been out of busi- 

 ness since the houses were broken by 

 a wind and hail storm several years 

 ago, has decided to rebuild. The work 

 has already begun. Kester Halstead, 

 son of A. S. Halstead, will head the 

 new company. 



Edwin Denker, of St. Charles, Mo., 

 and Henry Blixen, of Edwardsville, 111., 

 wore in the local wholesale market May

George H. Pring is preparing himself 

 to be ready when called upon to do the
