George Waldbart says that he never

 Easter. His several thousand lily plants 

 did not fill all his orders. Cut flower 

 trade, too, was as good as ever.

A. G. Greiner, the cactus specialist, 

 who claims to have the largest and 

 most costly collection in this country 

 and who can supply any variety known, 

 is entertaining a large crowd of visitors 

 each Sunday, who call to inspect his 

 collection. 



J. F. Wilcox is consigning to Smith 

 & Co. large lots of good Brides, Maids 

 and carnations. The overstocked market 



since Easter caused these to suffer in 

 price. 



Trade in the plant line was not good 

 last week, owing to the cold weather. 

 This week promises to be better and the 

 bedding plant men will be loaded up 

 with business, as they have plenty of 

 orders ahead to keep them busy all of 

 this month. Business in this line prom- 

 ises to be large this year. 



The Florists' Club's regular monthly 

 meeting will take place next week, Thurs- 

 day afternoon, in the new hall, 1023 

 Locust street. Some important discus- 

 sions are to come up. The last reports 

 of our pottery committee and of the 

 annual outing committee will also come 

 up. President Young is looking forward 

 to a large attendance. 



The St. Louis Horticultural Society's 

 executive committee held its monthly 

 meeting in the rooms of the Missouri 

 Athletic Club April 29. The meeting 

 was called to make preparations for the 

 annual flower show. In connection with 

 the Shaw prizes, a large number of other 

 cash prizes will be offered. A commit- 

 tee was appointed to select a hall in 

 which to hold the exhibition. C. C 

 Sanders is chairman of the executive com- 

 mittee. The meeting was well attendei 

 by its members. J. J. B. 



COLLiNSviLLE, III. — Henry J. Rissi ex- 

 pects to double his glass capacity during 

 the coming summer. He has sold a large 

 number of pansy plants this spring, but 

 says that vegetable plants have not been 

 moving lately, owing to the cold snap. 

 He looks for a boom as soon as warm 

 weather comes.
