Bomona park, July 25, and that all mem- 

 bers will be notified. 



W. C. Young, state vice-president of 

 the S. A. F., advised the members of 

 his work regarding transportation for 

 the annual S. A. F. convention next 

 month. The club then voted to travel 

 over the Pennsylvania railroad, leaving 

 here Sunday, August 18, at noon and ar- 

 riving in Philadelphia Monday at 3 

 p. m. in a special sleeper. This trip 

 includes a trip to visit the Jamestown 

 exposition. The fare for the round trip 

 will be $25. 



Adolph Brix was elected to . member- 

 ship by a full vote. The nomination of 

 ofl&cers then took place. Those for pres- 

 ident were "William C. Young, John Con- 

 non and John Steidle; for vice-presi- 

 dent, George Angermueller and Edwin 

 Denker; for secretary, A. J. Bentzen 

 was the only nominee. There was also 

 only one nominee for treasurer, that be- 

 ing H. C. Irish. For a three-year trus- 

 tee the nominees were Chas. Schoenle 

 and G. H. Pring. The election will take 

 place at the August meeting, when other 

 nominations can be made. President 

 Irish then invited the members to hold 

 the meeting of August 8 at the Missouri 

 Botanic Garden, at the request of the 

 director, Wm. Trelease, and to bring the 

 ladies vdth them. The invitation was ac- 

 cepted. The treasurer's report showed 

 a healthy balance. 



The question box contained a number 

 of questions. The two which brought out 

 the best discussions were on dahlia cul- 

 ture and on the Morehead trap and its 

 workings. In these all the members took 

 part, to the great satisfaction of those 

 who asked the questions.
