first-class blooms are seen as yet. En- 

 cliautress is the best of the lot, but these 

 are too short-stemmed to bring much. 

 . Asters are as plentiful as ever, with 

 white having the call; many in other 

 ciiiors have gone to waste. Some fine 

 ( 'li'Hiatis paniculata is in and sells well,

 Cosmos is looked for any day. Tube- 

 roses are fine, with good sale. 



Smilax, asparagus and other greens 

 are selling well, and the market has 

 plenty for all demands. 



Qub Meetin£. 



On the afternoon of September 12 the 

 Florists' Club held its regular monthly 

 meeting, an enthusiastic one. The at- 

 tendance was some twenty members. 



President Irish and his staff of offi- 

 cers opened the meeting and heard re- 

 ports from all the committees, which 

 were discharged with thanks. One ap- 

 plication for membership was received, 

 that of Walter Retzer, of the St. Louis 

 Seed Co. Two new members were elect- 

 ed, L. M. Van Hook, a grower, and D. 

 Bova, a retailer. 



President Irish appointed ex-Presi- 

 dents Guy and Dunford to assist him 

 in the installation. The first officer in- 

 stalled was the new trustee, Charles 

 Schoenle, who promised, with the assist- 

 ance of Messrs. Smith and Beyer, to 

 make this the banner year of the club 

 in attendance and social features. Treas- 

 urer F. H. Weber was next installed 

 and promised to watch the treasury with 

 an eagle eye. Secretary A. J. Bentzen 

 followed, and promised to do his duty to 

 the best of his ability. George H. An- 

 germneller, vice-president, came next, 



with a promise to never miss a meeting. 

 Then came President William C. Young 's 

 turn. He said that, with the assistance 

 of his staff and the members, he will 

 make this the best year in the history of 

 the club. Ex-President Irish thanked

 appreciated.

the members for their assistance in the 

 last year and spoke very enthusiastically 

 on the future of the club. 



The secretary's report showed that the 

 average attendance during the year was 

 twenty-five. The largest attendance at 

 any one meeting was forty, the Novem- 



ber meeting, when the chrysanthemum 

 exhibition took place. The treasurer's 

 report showed a healthy balance. 



A number of excellent queries from 

 the question box brought forth a lively 

 discussion, in which Messrs. Dunford, 

 Guy, Irish, Fillmore and Fulgraf took 

 part. Before adjournment President 

 Young announced that a luiuh. with re- 

 freshments and cigars, was in waiting 

 in a near-by cafe, where a general talk 

 took place. 



Various Notes. 



Secretary H. C. Irish, of the National 

 Council of Horticulture, reports that a 

 special car will leave Kansas City Sep- 

 tember 20 to carry those who will attend 

 the big horticultural meeting at the 

 Jamestown exposition, September 23 

 to 27. 



In a letter to the Florists' Club Pro- 

 fessor Trelease, of the Misso\ni Botan- 

 ical Garden, stated that Edwin Nyden, 

 the club's scholar at the garden, had 

 passed the highest examination and had 

 been accepted to fill out the term of 

 Paul Roper, who had resigned. Young 

 Nyden 's home is in Kenosha, Wis. 



J. F. Ammann's failure in not at- 

 tending the club's last meeting was ex- 

 plained by the fact that he is serving on 

 the United States jury at Edwardsville. 

 Next month he will be assistant super- 

 intendent of floriculture at the Illinois 

 State Fair. A large delegation from 

 here has promised to spend a day there.
