The "crape pulling" committee made 

 a report condemning the practice. The 

 press committee reported that time hung 

 heavily on their hand^. The trustees 

 reported that they had found a meet- 

 ing hall in the new Strausberger music 

 hall at the southeast corner of Grand 

 and Shenandoah avenues. After a vote 

 the club decided to hold its meetings 

 hereafter in this hall. Owing to the next 

 meeting of the club coming in flower 

 show week, it was decided to hold the 

 next meeting in the afternoon of the 

 first Thursday in November. Five appli- 

 cations were received, from E. Burrows, 

 supply broker; R. J. Windier, retailer; 

 J. M. Walther, grower; Martin Malan, 

 clerk for Mrs. Ayers, and Henry Braun, 

 foreman for A. Jablonsky. It was de- 

 cided to continue sending printed pos- 

 tal card notices of each meeting. 



Various Notes. 



The table decorations at the Simmons 

 Hardware Co. opening were very much 

 admired by the great crowds who visited 

 the china department of this firm. Three 

 tables were first set for a golden wed- 

 ding, silver wedding and a wedding 

 breakfast. Later dinner, reception and 

 luncheon tables were shown. On Fri- 

 day and Saturday hunting club, bachel- 

 or's and Thanksgiving dinner tables 

 were seen. Each day gome 2,000 

 roses were given to visitors. The work 

 on the tables was by the Ellison Floral 

 Co. and was a credit to the firm. Mrs. 

 Ellison reports that she has taken many 

 orders for dinners and weddings from 

 this display. The entire floor was beau- 

 tifully decorated with wild smilax, 

 American Beauties and cosmos. 



A. C. Canfield, of Springfield, 111., 

 spent Saturday here, visiting the trade. 

 Mr. Canfield reports a big week during 

 the state fair. 



Miss Belle Miller, of Springfield, 111., 

 is sending splendid Carnots, with fault- 

 less stems and foliage, also other fine 

 roses. 



Fred Foster put in all his spare time 

 at the horse show the past week. He 

 made several entries and came in for 

 some of the prize money. 



Nine cash prizes aggregating $500 are 

 being offered by the tree planting com-

mittee of the Civic Improvement League 

 to the pupils of the high schools and 

 academies of this city. The committee 

 on awards includes H. C. Irish, Frank A. 

 Weber and William Scott Hancock, who 

 are well known in the trade. 



Henry Ostertag was also conspicuous 

 at the horse show the past week. He 

 reports a number of large wedding or- 

 ders for the end of the month. 



Dr. Heine Marks has introduced a 

 resolution in the city council to provide 

 for a city forester, whose duty it shall 

 be to supervise the planting of trees and 

 protection of same on the city streets. 



President Ammann at the club meet- 

 ing appointed Theo Miller and J. J. 

 Beneke a committee to look up transpor- 

 tation for the members who wish to go 

 to Kansas City during the flower show 

 there. The chances are that the florists' 

 bowling team will go to bring back the 

 Kellogg cup offered for that week. 



The florist bowlers were again victori- 

 ous on Thursday night, winning the 



match from the Enterprise team by good 

 bowling, the team making 2,600 pins,, 

 averaging 866 per game and 174 per man. 

 Meinhardt was high, 563; Beyer, 544; 

 Ellison, 509; Beneke, 496, and Kuehn, 

 486. This places the team third in the 

 race. J. J. B.
