C. A. Kuehn is handling a fine lot of 

 longiflorums, which are selling well. 



The Bentzen Floral Co. is disposing 

 of a lot of chrysanthemum stock plants, 

 of which the firm has many. Extra fine 

 Christmas blooming plants can be seen 

 at this place. 



Carl Beyer reports a good Thanks- 

 giving trade in cut flowers and bloom- 

 ing plants. At this place a fine stock 

 of holiday plants can be seen in almost 

 everything in season. 



T. H. Hibbert, of the Hibbert Floral 

 Co., De Soto, Mo., was a visitor last 

 week, buying stock for Thanksgiving 

 orders. Mr. Hibbert reports trade good. 



Mrs. M. M. Ayers bandied a fine lot 

 of chrysanthemum blooms for Thanks- 

 giving, also a big supply of violets and 

 fancy roses. Her windows were hand- 

 somely decorated with cut stock and 

 blooming plants. Thanksgiving busi- 

 ness was very good. 



George Waldbart's show windows 

 formed one of the attractive spots along 

 Grand avenue last week. Thanksgiving 

 trade here went with a rush. 



William C. Young, president of the 

 St. Louis Florists' Club, says that the 

 next meeting of the club will take place 

 Thursday afternoon, December 12, at 

 2 'clock. G. H. Pring 's lecture on what 

 he saw on his travels in Europe this 

 summer, showing lantern slides with his 

 lecture, will be one of the special fea- 

 tures for this meeting. Those in the 

 trade who are not members are espec- 

 ially invited to meet with us. The 

 trustees are at work on social features 

 for every meeting during their term of 

 oflSce. This meeting will also be of some 

 importance to local growers who have 

 blooming plants to sell for Christmas.
