to the trade here and outside of the city, 

 will regret to learn that his health has 

 not been good of late and that he and 

 Mrs. Kunz have gone to Texas to reside, 

 in hopes that the climate there will re- 

 store his health. Mr. Kunz was for- 

 merly with the old Jordan Floral Co. 

 and later in business for himself, and 

 had friends by the score. 



The Foster Floral Co. moved May 1 

 to its new location at Ninth and Olive 

 streets. 



Will Adels, formerly with Mrs. Ayers, 

 made his appearance in the wholesale 

 liouses April 29. He has been laid up 

 with sickness since the first of the year; 

 this explains his long absence. 



The Riegscn Floral Co.. on South 

 Broadway, had a number of small hotel 

 decorations last week; also a number of 

 large funeral designs. Their window- 

 displays arc always attractive. 



The trustees of the Florists' Club, 

 Messrs. Smith, Beyer and Weber, held 

 a meeting last week to look over a num- 

 ber of propositions for a fit celebration 

 for the club's twentieth anniversary, 

 which is to take place June 28. It has 

 been decided that it will be a stag af- 

 fair. A full report will be made at the 

 club meeting. 



Henry Braun. late foreman for A. 

 Brix, is taking things easy, visiting the 

 diflferent growers in Clayton and Kirk- 

 wood. He reports that on a visit to 

 •Tohn Stcidle he found his place in fine 

 shape, with finf^ crojis of carnations and 

 roses. 



"Billy" Smith had a street car acci- 

 dent last week, which resulted in his re- 

 maining indoors a few days. He is now 



out and about on crutches, attending to 

 business. 



\vm. Schray & Sons have a large stock 

 of bedding plants and plenty of orders 

 for planting out. Emil Schray says the 

 weather has kept them back considerably 

 with their work. Others, though, have 

 the same complaint. 



The florists near the large cemeteries 

 liave been kept busy of late preparing 

 for planting. Fred Meinhardt and the 

 Koeuig Floral Co. have the bulk of the 

 work in that district. 



Charlie Schoenle, of the Schoenle 

 Floral Co., who has a fine tenor voice, is 

 writing a new song he will sing at the 

 club's celebration next month. The name 

 of the song is "How I Came to Attend 

 the Last Club Meeting, " and " Why I '11 

 Never Miss Another." 



The St. Louis Florists' Club will hold 

 its monthly meeting May 9 at 2 o 'clock, 

 in the Burlington building, 810 Olive 

 street. President Irish will be on hand 

 and expects a full attendance, as several 

 committees will report on important mat- 

 ters. Any member who is interested in 

 the club's welfare should hang his notice 

 in a conspicuous place, so as not to for- 

 got. J. J. B. 



Morrison, III. — Davis Bros, are build- 

 ing a residence west of their greenhouse 

 on Portland avenue, where their mother 

 will reside after its completion. 



Augusta, Me. — The florist's establish- 

 ment which had been carried on by Percy 

 Loder on Common street, next door to the 

 IX)8t-ofiice, since shortly before Easter, 

 was closed Monday, April 15, and the 

 furnishings removed to Clinton.
