 niiunis as follows: 



Chatenay, J. F. Ammann first, Walter 

 ^Veber second. 

 Killarney, J. F. Ammann first. 

 Richmond, J. F. Ammann first, Walter 

 V. eber second. 

 Ivory, J. F. Ammann first. 

 -Mixed roses, Walter Weber second. 

 Fifteen blooms were called for in each 

 ! iss. The judges also reported that 

 Miss Kate Moulton has luxuriant foli- 

 ^e, good flowers, stems slightly weak; 

 'serves honorable mention." 

 J. F. Ammann spoke about .Easter 

 om a grower 's standpoint and stated 

 !iat the warm days early in March 

 'Ought lilies out with a rush, also other 

 ilbous stock, and reported a loss of 

 venty-five per cent on longiflorum, and 

 »ety per cent on Dutch Romans. Harry 

 '^ung, speaking for the retail trade, 

 •'id that in plants and cut flowers trade 

 ■'-ver was better. Lily plants became 

 I arce early, owing to the waste early in 

 <'ae month. Baby Ramblers did not sell 



well. George Angermueller spoke for 

 the wholesalers and said that Saturday 

 and Sunday everything sold clean, but 

 before that time everything was a glut 

 and prices away down. 



Various Notes. 



W. F. Dwyer, representing the Heim 

 Carnation Support Co., Connersville, Ind., 

 spent a few days here visiting carnation 

 growers. Mr. Dwyer demonstrated the 

 support at the club meeting last week. 



Julius Koenig has left the employ of 

 H. G. Beming. 



A meeting was held Monday night by 

 the Engelmann Botanical Club, room 217 

 Central high school, when Dr. Perley 

 Spaulding lectured on an "Account of 

 the Progress of Botany in St. Louis. ' ' 

 The attendance was large, mostly made 

 up by the members of the club. The club

also a jewelry store next door, were 

 robbed Wednesday night in uotti of their 

 stores to the amount of $1,000. 



William Bouche, the landscape gar- 

 dener, has a big job on his hands and is 

 laying out Kingbury boulevard from 

 Kings Highway west. A big force al- 

 ready is at work planting out trees and 

 shrubs. 



The task of restoring Forest park by 

 the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Co. 

 is now being pushed to completion. Ac- 

 cording to Secretary Walter B. Stevens 

 between 7,000 and 8,000 trees have been 

 planted, also 30,000 shrubs on the expo- 

 sition site and 6,000 trees and 20,000 

 more shrubs will be planted by Autumn, 

 when the grounds will be turned over to 

 the park department. 



The executive committee of the St. 

 Louis Horticultural Society has changed 

 to night meetings, as most of its mem-
