The Weekly Florists' Review* 



523 



Ladies at the Edwardcville Meetins^ of the St. Louis Florists' Club, July 12. 



-extended President Ammann for the en- 

 tertainment given the members. After 

 adjournment the entire party partook of 

 an elegant lunch. After this the of- 

 ficial photographer, Rude Windt, took 

 the pictures of the party. Preparations 

 were then made for the return trip, after 

 three rousing cheers for the president 

 and his family. The return trip was 

 uneventful; the two hours' wait at 

 Mitchell was not relished nnu li by the 

 ladies. 



Notes of tbe Trip. 



Prof, and Mrs, H. C. Irish were seen 

 to enjoy the surroundings very much. 



John Connon and his charming young 

 bride say they spent a most enjoyable 

 afternoon. 



George Angermueller lost his coat, but 

 recovered it at Mitchell, when he mis- 

 took a stranger for Dr. Halstead, of 

 Belleville. 



Fred Meinhardt, Charlie Kuehn and 

 Henry Lohrenz left early and missed the 

 good time at Mitchell. 



John Steidle, J. W. Duijford, Henry 

 Braun and ladies did not reach their 

 homes in Clayton until after midnight, 

 but then they had a good time. 



Henry and Mrs. Berning stayed over 

 to visit relatives in the city. 



Carl Beyer, Frank Weber and F. J. 

 Fillmore were seen to hobnob with the 

 members and talk picnic all afternoon. 



Fred Ammann was pleased at the big 

 turnout. The stay-at-homes missed a 

 great treat as usual. 



E. W. Guy, Henry Emunds and 

 Adolph Fehr, of Belleville, were on 

 hand, but stayed only for the nomination 

 of officers. The next meeting will be 

 held in Belleville. 



Billy "Winter was cje only Kirkwood 

 • member present, and he postponed his 

 Chicago trip in order to be on hand with 

 the boys. 



W. C. Smith attended his first meeting 

 as a member, and was delighted that 

 he was the only fare passenger in the 

 bunch. 



A. G. Greiner has his sunbonnet with 

 him. He should be on the detective 

 force. He's a good sweater. 



Charlie Juengel and his corn-cob pipe 



were on hand, and he came near losing 

 his wife in the round-up. 



Various Notes. 



G. H. Pring is now in charge of the 

 orchid houses at Shaw's Garden, in the 

 position recently vacated by Mr. Mc- 

 Clure, who, with his wife, has returned 

 to his old home in Buffalo. Mr. Pring 

 attended the last club meeting in com- 

 pany with Professor Irish. 



W. J. Pilcher started Monday for a 

 two weeks' trip west. It is rumored that 

 he is looking for a location between here 

 and Kansas City, where he will build 

 a large range of greenhouses. 



J. W. Dunford is sending a fine lot 

 of Lilium longiflorum giganteum to 

 Berning 's, and they are selling well. 



C. C. Sanders has sent to Texas for 

 Colonel Moss's badger, to be used in the 

 badger fight at the picnic next Thurs- 

 day, and will wager any amount that the 

 badger can lick any dog in the neighbor- 

 hood. 



C. A. Kuehn is handling some extra 

 fancy stock in roses, such as Perle, 

 Ivory, Carnot, Kaiserin and Beauty. 



At Ellis 's thousands "of sweet peas are 

 handled each day, from Kirkwood, and 

 sell well, though cheap in price. 



The florists of St. Louis should not 

 forget the anniml outing of the Florists' 

 Club next Thursday, July 26. Every 

 florist, with his family, is invited to par- 

 ticipate. The place is at Romona park, 

 on the suburban line. The trustees are 

 working hard and say this will be one 

 of the best outings the club has ever 

 had. The features will be the baseball 

 game and the badger fight. A good time 

 is in store for those who attend. All the 

 wholesale houses will close at 12 o'clock 

 on that day. 



G. Angermueller is still handling some 

 very good looking carnations, also a fine 

 lot of outdoor stock. 



W. C. Smith & Co. disposed of several 

 hundred Bostons in 5-inch pots the last 

 week.

THE DAYTON SOUVENIR BOOK. 



It is true that I have tjaken charge of 

 this book individually, because the club, 

 through its president, did not wish to 

 accept the responsibility. Mr. Shaw, 

 through an assistant, is aiding me on the 

 advertising, as I believe he has done on 

 several souvenir books, for which he will 

 receive an ordinary commission, but the 

 net proceeds of the publication will be 

 expended for such features of the Day- 

 ton meeting as will be approved of by 

 the executive committee of the S. A. F. 

 and the Dayton Florists' Club. 



I trust that the souvenir book will be 

 supported, for while I am not printing 

 it for profit, I would not enjoy doing 

 the work and losing money besifles. 



H. M. Altick, Vice-President S, A. P.
