The Florists' Review 



August 21, 1018.- 



painted. A lot of improvements are be- 

 ing made for handling the stock and 

 trade the coming season. 



Joe Hauser, of Webster Groves, is con- 

 signing a fine lot of Astermums to the 

 Windier Wholesale Floral Co., which are 

 having a good demand. 



The Kirkwood florists say that the 

 dry season killed their violet plants, and 

 that there will be a great shortage in 

 these this fall and winter. 



The Ladies' Home Circle met at the 

 home of Mrs. O. G. Koenig, on Floris- 

 sant avenue, August 13, and spent a 

 most pleasant afternoon. Those present 

 were Mesdames Weber, Sr.; Weber, Jr.; 

 Beneke, Steidle, Schray, Meyer, Windier, 

 J. Koenig and Miller. The next meeting 

 of the circle will be at the home of Mrs. 

 J. Steidle, at Olivette, Mo. 



The young mum plants at the estab- 

 lishments of Schray, Held, Beyer, Wind- 

 ier and Fillmore, on the south side, are 

 in splendid shape. 



Dave Geddes reports that he will open 

 a florists ' department in the big Vander- 

 voort department store, at Tenth and 

 Olive streets, for the company. The 

 opening will be September 15. All fix- 

 tures are being built by the St. Louis 

 Bank Fixture Co. The big refrigerator, 

 built by the same company to match the 

 fixtures, is ready to be installed. Mr. 

 Geddes says that this department will 

 be kept high-class and on a large scale. 



Those bound for the convention got 

 away safely on Thursday morning, 

 August 14, on the steamer Quincy, which 

 left at 10 a. m. with the following on 

 board: Miss T, Meinhardt, J, J. Wind- 

 ier, F. W. Windier and Mrs. Windier, 

 their mother; F. X. Gorly and wife, F. 

 C. Weber and wife, C. A. Kuehn, wife 

 and daughter; F. W. Brnenig and wife, 

 W, C. Smith and wife, J. F. Ammann 

 and wife, E, W. Guy and wife, George 

 Angermueller and wife, Edwin Denker 

 and O. G. Koenig. Those going by rail 

 were: W. C. Young, A. Jablonsky, F. 

 Meinhardt, C. C. Sanders and F. Bobin- 

 son. 



The announcement that a local florist 

 had been appointed superintendent of 

 the coming fall flower show, given by 

 the Coliseum management, caused the 

 Florists' Club committee of twenty-five 

 to hold a special meeting at the Coli- 

 seum building, Tuesday night, August 

 12. The meeting was called to inform 

 the management of the Coliseum that 

 unless they lived up to their promise to 

 the members that no florist should have 

 a hand in the managing of the affairs 

 of the show, they would withdraw their 

 financial and moral support. It is now 

 up to the board of directors of the Coli- 

 seum to accept or reject their aid. The 

 committee awaits its answer. J. J. B.
