E. I., is no\y employed at Mr. Kellogg 's 

 place in Pleasant Hill. 



C. Young & Sons Co. report that they 

 are almost cleaned out of bedding stock 

 and in another week will make a clean 

 sweep of everything. This has been an 

 exceptionally good year with all the St, 

 Louis florists in the plant line, as all are 

 reporting a big plant trade in every- 

 thing. 



Arthur Ellison is off on a fishing trip 

 down south for a month. Arthur is tak- 

 ing his vacation early this year. He will 

 be back soon to get in condition for the 

 convention bowling. 



Leo Osternei is out at the World's 

 Fair grounds selling palms for Siebrecht 

 & Son, New York. Their salesroom is in 

 the Horticulture building. Harry Sie- 

 brecht was here last week. They will 

 send two car loads of fine palms for ex- 

 hibition. His firm will also make a big 

 display at our trade exhibition in Au- 

 gust. 



There were nc roses on exhibition in 

 the Horticulture building for the open- 

 ing day of the rose show, which was set 

 for May 21 to 25 inclusive. 



George Waldbart has some elegant 

 bay trees in all shapes in front of his 

 store on Grand avenue. Mr. Waldbart is 

 having a very busy season, with recep- 

 tions and dinner parties. Funeral work, 

 too, has been plentiful. A gyeat show of 

 fine blooming plants can also be seen at 

 this place. 



On Tuesday of last week, Charlie 

 Schoenele, who is with Mrs, M. M. Ayers, 

 was held up by highwaymen and relieved 

 of his fine gold watch and chain. Charlie 

 was lucky at that; he only had $1.10 in 

 money about him, so they gave him back 

 10 cents for car fare. 



Planting has begun in City Hall park. 

 Park Commissioner Aull says that 30,000 

 Piants were used in this park. The large 

 center beds are the same as last year, 



the only new feature a few small beds 

 around the big ones in the grass plots. 

 All parks under his jurisdiction will be 

 finished by June 1. Some new designs 

 are promised in Forest park this year. 

 Mr. Aull has plenty in the greenhouses 

 at Forest park to make the parks all 

 attractive this sununer. 



H. M. Schisler, of the Schisler-Comelli 

 Seed Co., rep6rts that the University 

 Hotel has been selected as the meeting 

 place of the American Seed Trade Asso- 

 ciation, which holds its twenty-second 

 annual convention here next month, June 

 21 to 23. Visiting members are requesteo 

 to take the Market street cars, which run 

 past the Union station and will take 

 them direct in front of the hotel, which 

 adjoins the World's Fair grounds. A 

 meeting has been called for this week of 

 the local seedsmen to select committees 

 who will have charge of entertaining the 

 visiting seedsmen. 



The huge floral clock at the World's 

 Fair grounds is almost completed. The 

 minute hand, seventy-four feet long, is 

 now in place. The hands weigh 2,500 

 pounds. Everything is worked out in 

 plants. J. W. Dunford, at Clayton, is 

 growing some 15,000 verbenas and gera- 

 niums for the clock. This, when com- 

 pleted, will be a great attraction for all 

 visitors. 



At the dedication of the French build- 

 ing last week 5,000 American Beauties 

 were given away. Every lady visitor on 

 entering the building got one for a pres- 

 ent. The rooms were also tastefully dec- 

 orated with a fine lot of palms. 



In the Texas building last week Mrs. 

 James Madison Bass, of Temple, Texas, 

 distributed 50,000 cape jasmine buds to 

 visitors. This will continue as long as 

 they last. 



During the World's Press Parliament, 

 which convened last week in Festival 

 Hall at the World's Fair grounds, jour- 



nalists from thirty-five nations were 

 piesent. Several of the state buildings 

 ei'tertained their press representatives. 

 Every building was handsomely deco- 

 rated and the Press building was made 

 especially attractive for the representa- 

 tives. 



The Federation of Women 's Clubs, 

 v/hich met here last week, was enter- 

 tained on Friday by Mrs. William Tre- 

 lease, who gave them a garden party in 

 the Missouri Botanic Garden and 2,000 

 of the club women were in attendance. 

 The garden presented a handsome ap- 

 pearance. Befreshments were served on 

 the lawn, after which the hostess and her 

 assistant personally conducted the tours 

 through the entire garden and green- 

 houses, which was a great treat to the 

 visitors. This the ladies considered one 

 of the features of their convention.
