Various Notes. 



J. P. Metzler, who was with H. C. 

 2immer at Denver, Colo., is in the city. 

 Mr. Metzler was for the last few weeks 

 employed by the Foster Floral Co. 



Superintendent George Ostertag, of the 

 local park department, has the entire 

 grounds of the City Hall park covered 

 with tea waste, which he gets from a 

 local chemical company in large lots. 

 This, he says, makes a great fertilizer 

 for the lawn and makes a better ap- 

 pearance than manure. 



John B. Steinecke, of Old Orchard, is 

 sending to Smith & Co. some extra good 

 Enchantress carnations, also other vari- 

 eties of good quality. 



There are' a great many grippe vic- 

 tims among our local trade, both in re- 

 tail and wholesale circles. In fact, there 

 are so many that space will hardly per- 

 mit me to mention all their names. As 



yet, though, no serious cases have been 

 reported. 



George Hecht, brother of C. D. Hecht, 

 will buUd two new greenhouses this sum- 

 mer at his place in Clayton, Mo. 



It has been reported that a great deal 

 of greenhouse building will be done in 

 and around Kirkwood this summer. All 

 the local growers there have done well 

 this season with carnations, violets and 

 sweet peas. None of the growers there 

 has as yet taken to growing roses. 



Among our local carnation growers 

 who should make excellent showing at the 

 club's carnation exhibition this week 

 are: John Steidle, Pierre Schneider, Wil- 

 liam Winter, F. W. Ude, Hugo Gross, 

 John Steinecke, W. J. Pilcher, A. Jab- 

 lonsky, J. W. Dunford and F. J. Fill- 

 more. All are cutting high grade stock 

 in all varieties. 



It is reported that quite a delegation 

 of local florists from here will visit 

 Springfield, HI., next Tuesday, February 

 18, to attend the third annual conven- 



tion of the Illinois State Florists' As- 

 sociation.. 



Emil Schray was made happy Febru- 

 ary 7, when the stork made its appear- 

 ance at his home and left him a daugh- 

 ter. Congratulations are now in order 

 among Mr. and Mrs. Schray 's large cir- 

 cle of friends in the trade. 



Mr. Hibbert, of the Hibbert Floral Co., 

 of De Soto, Mo., was a caller February 

 8, buying stock for orders he had booked 

 for this week. 



The spring flower show, which is to be 

 given by the St. Louis Horticultural So- 

 ciety next month, promises to be as large 

 an affair as it was last year. The lo- 

 cation has as yet not been announced, 

 and it has been reported that the ex- 

 ecutive committee has decided to charge 

 admission this year. Last year the ad- 

 mission was free and the attendance was 

 large. 



Visitors: J. J. Karins, of Henry A. 

 Dreer, Philadelphia; Arnold Ringier, ac- 

 companied by his assistant, Mr. Lempke,
