Seed Trade Association, which meets June 

 23 to 25 in Detroit. Fred Plant, of the 

 Plant Seed Co.; W. Nichols, of the St. 

 Louis Seed Co., and M. Schisler, of the 

 Schisler-Corneli Seed Co., are among the 

 workers for a large attendance. 



The early-closing movement will again 

 be taken up by our wholesalers, the 

 same as last year, during the months 

 of July and August, to close the first 

 five days of the week at 5 p. m. and 

 Saturdays at noon. Last year this was 

 much appreciated by the employees. 



Mr. and Mrs. Fred C. Weber and 

 their daughter, Adele, in company with 

 the Misses Meinhardt, will leave the lat- 

 ter part of this month for a month's 

 trip west, visiting Yellowstone park and 

 other points of interest. This is purely 

 a pleasure trip after a good business 

 season. 



The Egyptian Hustlers' meeting, held 

 the last week at Belleville, made things 

 quite interesting for the florists in that 

 city. The floral parade Friday was one 

 of the features. E. W. Guy, St. Clair 

 Floral Co., Henry Emunds, Adolph Fehr 



and G. Grossart had their hands full all 

 week, supplying the hustlers with flowers. 



The many friends of Robert J. Win- 

 dier were glad to see him among the 

 buyers in the wholesale district, look- 

 ing so well after his illness. He says 

 the store was well taken care of in his 

 absence. 



The State Board of Agriculture held 

 a three days' session last week at Moun- 

 tain Grove, Mo. The following officers 

 were elected: President. W. P. Stark; 

 first vice-president, R. L. Hitt; second 

 vice-president, J, J. Chastin; treasurer, 

 T. H. Todd, and secretary, L. C, Howard, 

 of Columbia, Mo. 



A. J. Bentzen, of the Bentzen Floral 

 Co., reports that they have the order 

 to furnish the bouquets and decorations 

 for the Yeatman High school, which will 

 be on a larger scale than last year. 



The executive committee of the Ameri- 

 can Apple Growers' Congress met Fri- 

 day, ^ne 5, at the Southern hotel and 

 arranged for a program for the sixth 

 annual convention. The convention meets 

 here during the month of August. Sen- 



ator H. M. Dunlap, of Savoy, 111.; T. 

 H. Todd, of New Franklin, Mo.; W. R. 

 Wilkinson, T. C. Wilson, and Prof. H. C. 

 Irish, of St. Louis, attended the meeting 

 of the board. 



Messrs. Schoenle, Smith and Beyer 

 spent a day looking up grounds for the 

 Florists' Club picnic. They selected 

 Normandi park. The date will be 

 Wednesday, July 15. The suburban car 

 line runs to the gate of this park. The 

 conditions are much better than the 

 place last year — fine ball grounds, bowl- 

 ing alleys, dancing hall, plenty of shelter 

 for all. The grounds will be exclusively 

 for the florists and their friends. The 

 exclusive part will be one of the features 

 this year which the members have never 

 enjoyed at former outings. The trustees 

 are now at work preparing a program 

 which will be made attractive for all. 

 A good band will also be one of the 

 features this year. The members can 

 look forward to the best outing the club 

 has yet held. 



As per the will of the late Henry Shaw, 

 his garden is open to the public on Sun--
