< Qub Meeting. 



The St. Louis Florists' Club held its 

 regular meeting on the afternoon of 

 August 8, at the Missouri Botanic Gar- 

 den. The attendance was large. Presi- 

 dent Irish escorted us through the gar- 

 den, which never looked better. This 

 was of great interest, the greenhouse 

 men looking over the new varieties of 

 bedding plants. The march ended at one 

 of the large houses, in which the meet- 

 ing took place. The ladies were present 

 during the meeting and took great in- 

 terest in the proceedings. 



Chairman Smith, of the trustees, re- 

 ported that the expense of the picnic 

 amounted to $103.80, which was allowed. 

 State Vice-President W. C. Young re- 

 ported a good delegation for the con- 

 vention and stated that the party will 

 leave here Sunday, August 18, at noon, 

 over the Pennsylvania railroad in a spe- 

 cial sleeper and arrive at Philadelphia 

 Monday, August 19, at 3:30 p. m. The 

 round trip fare would be $30.60 to 

 Jamestown, with stop-over at Philadel- 

 phia, good for sixty days. Berths, $6 

 each way. 



Applications for membership were 

 made by Dominic Bova, a retailer, and 

 L. M. Van Hook, a grower at Ferguson. 

 After this the election of officers took 

 place, in which great interest was dis- 

 played. Three candidates for the presi- 

 dency were placed in nomination. W. C. 

 Young won out. For vice-president, Geo. 

 H. Angermueller won. A. J. Bentzen 

 had no opposition as secretary. For 

 treasurer, Fred H. Weber was elected. 

 Charles Schoenle was elected a three-

year-term trustee. This makes an en- 

 tirely new set of oflScers and one that 

 should receive the support of all the 

 members. 



W. C. Smith and James Dunford made 

 a hot race for the club's choice for state 

 vice-president of the S. A. F. Mr. 

 Smith won out after five ballots were 

 taken. The other candidate was C. A. 

 •Juengel. 



President Irish announced that Paul 

 Reper, the club's scholar at the garden, 

 had resigned and the new applicant, Ed- 

 win Nyden, of Kenosha, Wis., was then 

 recommended for the position and will 

 be accepted by the trustees if his ex- 

 amination proves satisfactory. 



The guests were served with ice cream, 

 cake and lemonade. A photograph was 

 taken of all present and, after another 

 stroll through the gardens, all went home 

 much pleased with the entertainment of 



The afternoon. The ladies especially 

 voted it a most pleasant afternoon;
