ville and Belleville also had hail, with 

 little damage to the florists. 



Henry Johann, of Collinsville, was a 

 caller June 13. He reports a good sea- 

 son, but has a few geraniums left. 



The M. M. Ayers Co., on Grand av- 

 enue, had a busy week in decorations for 

 school closings, requiring extra help. 



George Waldbart worked up great 

 quantities of sweet peas in bouquets for 

 the high school graduates. He is cut- 

 ting big quantities of outdoor stock 

 from his Clayton place. 



The Engelmann Botanical Club, 

 which holds its monthly meeting every 

 second Monday in the Central high 

 school building, will discontinue its meet- 

 ings during the months of July, August 

 and September. They have also called 

 off their annual flower show, owing to 

 the backward season. 



George Waldbart, Jr., son. of Alex 

 Waldbart, has left the city in the effort 

 to improve his health. 



Mr. and Mrs. Henry Wordy, of the 

 Ellison Floral Co., have gone to Grand 

 Bapids, Mich., Mr. Wordy 's home. Mrs. 

 Wordy, who was formerly Miss Alice 

 Ellison, was taken ill last week and it 

 was for her health that they' left for the 

 north. 



C. L. Hammerstein, secretary of the 

 school board, reports that the board will 

 erect greenhousfes this summer on ground 



in the west end and also grow nur- 

 sery stock for the various schools. The 

 two gardeners who are now taking care 

 of the Central aftd McKinley high 

 school conservatories will be in charge. 

 They are C. I. Page and Emil Loew- 

 nann. 



Geo. Ostertag, superintendent of the 

 city parks, reports that they have com- 

 pleted their bedding. It is thought that 

 when Park Commissioner Scanlan sends 

 in his new appointments, Mr. Ostertag 

 will be reappointed. 



F. W. Ude, Jr., Wm. Winter, of Kirk- 

 wood, and E. W. Guy, of Belleville, 

 visited Fred x^mmann, at Edwardsville, 

 and Henry Johann, at Collinsville, June 

 15. They reported a good time and say 

 each of these places is in tip-top shape. 



Henry Lohrenz, proprietor of the Park 

 Floral Co., complains that the growers 

 around St. Louis did not grow enough 

 bedding stock this year, as the shortage 

 was noticeable at all places. He says 

 the growers were not aware of the in- 

 creasing population of our city, and that 

 they should be guided by this for next 

 season. J. J. B. 



Indianapous, Ind. — The annual pic- 

 nic of the Indiana State Florists' So- 

 ciety will be held at the country place 

 of R. F. & J. E. Harritt, Wednesday,

BOSTON, 



The Market 



Warm weather at last seems to have 

 arrived and as a consequence more flow- 

 ers are arriving than for a long time. 

 Business was the reverse of good during 

 the whole of last week, but the school 

 graduations, weddings, etc., will help to 

 tone it up this week. 



Boses are abundant, but meet with a 

 fair sale. Carnations also are good for 

 the season, with a wide range in prices, 

 colored varieties of both roses and car- 

 nations having first call. This June no 

 Jacqueminot or other hybrid roses wi' 

 be available for graduations and f J 

 will be in bloom during the prr ew 

 month unless very hot weather con* >sent
