 booming the S. A. F. convention and 

 telling us what we will miss if we fail to 

 attend. 



Joseph Hauser, of Webster Grove, re- 

 ports that he has been cutting a great 

 crop of line sweet peas this spring, but 

 the price they bring hardly pays for 

 picking them.

 Tex., who was here on a visit a few 

 weeks ago, writes that he was badly hurt 

 in a railroad wreck on returning home, 

 but is on the road to recovery.

 months.

 of our oldest florists in Kirkwood, died 

 Saturday morning, July 13. The remains 



were taken to Hackensack, N. J., where 

 the funeral took place Tuesday, July 16. 

 Mr. Berdau, who was at one time prom-

 games from the grand stand to get point- 

 ers on how to play short stop, as that is 

 his position on the wholesale team. 



Next Thursday, July 25, the florists' 

 picnic will take place, at Romona park. 

 This should not be overlooked by any 

 florist in the city. All are invited, and 

 if the day is fine the largest crowd that 

 ever attended an outing is expected. 

 There will be plenty to eat, drink and 

 smoke on the grounds. A fine orchestra 

 has been engaged for dancing, and 

 games of all kinds, with prizes, have 

 been arranged. It is to be hoped that 



all the members will lend a helping hand 

 to make the day enjoyable to non-mem- 

 bers and friends. J. J. B.
