Aussion. On a final vote it was de- 

 cided to accept the report and the trus- 

 tees were requested to go ahead with 

 their arrangements. 



Max Schiller, who has charge of the 

 big conservatories at the Missouri Bo- 

 tanical Garden, was elected to member- 

 ship. Messrs. Ohlweiler and Wells pre- 

 sented the application of Julius Erd- 

 mann for membership. All delinquent 

 members were given one month more 

 of time and committees were appointed 

 to see them. 



W. S. Wells started a discussion on 

 the advisability of forming an employ- 

 ment bureau. This seemed to gain 

 many friends from the start and most 

 of the talks were in favor of such a 

 movement. It was decided that five 

 members, one from each wholesale 

 house, would form a committee to work 

 with the secretary of the club, report- 

 ing to him anyone applying for em- 

 ployment. Also, those seeking em- 

 ployees are to make their wishes known 

 to the committee, who will have a list 

 of names from which to select. 



H. C. Irish spoke of the work of 

 the state board of horticulture, of 

 which he is a member, and referred 

 especially to a proposed appropriation 

 of money for work in horticulture. He 

 asked the members whether they would 

 work with him for an appropriation of 

 $10,000 to be used for the next two 

 years for floricultural work, including 

 an annual flower show to be held in 

 the state. The members readily agreed 

 to assist Mr. Irish. 



The question box brought out a good 

 discussion, which concluded the meet- 

 ing. The next meeting will take place 

 January 14, 1915. 



Various Notea 



Henry Niemeyer, of Kirkwood, suf- 

 fered a paralytic stroke last week, ac- 

 cording to the report of brother flo- 

 rists. He is slowly recovering from 

 the stroke. 



Marion Uhlschmidt, manager of the 

 branch store of Grimm & Gorly, at 

 East St. Louis, 111., says that since 

 Thanksgiving they have had a good 

 run of business. Their artistic win- 

 dow decoration is one of the attrac- 

 "tions on Collinsyille avenue. They are 

 looking for a big Christmas business. 



The show houses of the west end flo- 

 rists are ablaze with blooming plants 

 in Christmas colors, with poinsettias

 cussion.

 a most pleasant afternoon at the home 

 of Mrs. Geo. B. Windier. They voted 

 to hold the New Year's meeting at the 

 home of Mrs. Fred C. Weber, Wednes- 

 day, January 13. 



William C. Young had the floor all 

 to himself at last week's club meeting. 

 His friends in debate during the meet- 

 ings, J. F, Ammann and E. W. Guy, 

 failed ta trttend, so he had to go it 

 alone this time. 



A call on the St. Louis Seed Co. 

 found all hands busy with local and 



shipping orders in lycopodium, holly, 

 ruscus and red roping. Their advance 

 orders Were heavy. 



Frank Fillmore reports that he will 

 not grow any more carnations after 

 this season. He at one time grew some 

 of the best roses and carnations coming 

 to this market, but the surroundings 

 now are such that the growing of this 

 stock for cutting is out of the question. 



The W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral 

 Co. has made up a let' of crescent 

 wreaths of Japanese red roping, which 

 havft proved tp be great sellers in the 

 local trade. ' , 



Frank Windier says thfft the call for 

 red ruscus and red mats has so far 

 greatly exceeded last year's demand.
