Death of Wm. Schray. 

 William Schray, one of the oldest 

 florists in St. Louis, died at 4 p. m. 

 Tuesday afternoon. May 15. He was 72 

 years of age, and esteemed by all who 

 knew him. The funeral will be held on 

 Thursday afternoon. May 17. 



Qub Meeting. 



The club held its May meeting last 

 Thursday afternoon, in the club's rooms 

 on Grand avenue. President Ammann 

 was on hand early, but did not expect 

 many members to attend, as nearly all 

 are too busy with their spring planting; 

 still, quite a few of the regulars came 

 out. 



W. C. Smith was proposed for mem- 

 bership. The trustees were instructed 

 to prepare an entertainment for the 

 members on the night of June 28, to 

 celebrate the nineteenth anniversary of 

 the club, and to report at the next meet- 

 ing, June 17. 



The secretary announced that at the 

 next meeting Wm. Winter will lead a 

 discussion on "Growing Sweet Peas Un- 

 der Glass and Outside, ' ' and Henry Aue 

 a discussion on ' ' Growing Smilax in the 

 Best and Most Profitable Way." After 

 this the members adjourned across the 

 way to a garden for lunch, when mat- 

 ters for the convention at Dayton were 

 talked over. President Ammann is in 

 hopes that a large delegation will attend 

 the convention.
