Club Meeting. 



The club's .Tune meeting last Thurs- 

 day was largely attended, with all the 

 officers present except Vice-president Wil- 

 liam Winter. George M. Kellogg, of 

 Pleasant Hill, and Paul Roper, of the 

 Botanic Garden, were elected to member- 

 ship. The president appointed W, J. 

 Pilcher to act as sergeant-at-arms for the 

 coming S. A. F. convention. It was de- 

 cided that our annual picnic should not 

 take place until after the convention this 

 year. The discussions lead by Brothers Am- 

 mann and Sehray, on "Replanting Rose 

 ^tock" ajid ''Growing Hydrangeas," 

 were very interesting. Those who took 

 P^f*.i." t*»e discussion were Messrs. Gie- 

 ti • ?,"^'"0''®' Pelter and Dunford. After 

 this :\rr. Ammann made some well directed 

 remarks to the members to attend the 

 meetings promptly, also their committee 

 meetings, to work hard and make this the 

 hanner meeting of the S. A. F. O. H. In 

 the question box a number of important 

 queries were found wliich came up for 

 debate. This has become one of the fea- 



tures of our meetings of late. A special 

 meeting of the club will be held Thurs- 

 day, June 23, at 2 o 'clock. Otto Koenig, 

 who is chairman of the finance and en- 

 tertainment committee, invited the mem- 

 bers to hold this meeting at his place. 

 7471 Florissant avenue, at which every 

 member of the club is invited to be pres- 

 ent and take part in the proceedings. The 

 next regular meeting of the club will be 

 held July 14 at our regular meeting hall 

 in Odd Fellows' building. At this meet- 

 ing James W. Dunford will lead a very 

 important discussion, the subject being 

 left for him to select. We all know Mr. 

 Dunford 's ability and know it will be 

 interesting. The meeting then closed, 

 after which the different S. A. F. conven- 

 tion committees held short meetings, 

 making arrangements as to the work be- 

 fore them. They now meet each week and 

 report fine progress. 



Various Notes. 



A. S. Halstedt, E. W. Guy and Henry 

 Emmons, of Belleville, 111., were visitors 

 the j)ast week, taking in the World's 

 Fair. All of these gentlemen report their 

 spring plant trade as never better. Cut 

 flower work, too, has been good in every 

 department. 



Mr. and Mrs. Trelease have returncl 

 from a very nleasant trip to Madison, 

 Wis., where they spent a week visiting 

 friends. 



There are 1,500 rose bushes in all va- 

 rieties in full bloom in the rose gardens 

 rear the Agriculture building at the 

 fair. A fine lot of mountain laurel from 

 Pennsylvania is now in full bloom. There 

 is also a fine lot of rhododendrons from 

 Eaglesmere lake, Pennsvlvania. Miss 



.Jennie Cassidy, the originator of the 

 Flower Mission day in St. Ijouis, dis- 

 tributed 5,000 carnations and rosea last 

 week at the World's Fair from the head- 

 quarters of the W, C. T. U, 



The city park employes held a big 

 jubilee last Saturday night in one of the 

 new greenhouses in Forest park. There 

 was plenty to eat, drink and smoke. 

 IXiring the evening the boys presented 

 Supt, Meyer with a gold shield emblem- 

 atic of the office he holds. 



The waterworks convention durinp^ the 

 past week ended with a banquet at the 

 New Jefferson hotel, at which the tlor;il 

 decorations were elaborate, consisting of 

 carnations and American Beauties. These 

 were furnished by J. J, Beneke, 



The attendance at the World's Fair is 

 increasing right along. Those who have 

 the cut flower concessions re{)ort a big 

 business.
