WHOLESALE FLORISTS

Mention The Review when you write.

subs. Oscar Huetemann, the captain, 

 says his team will win hands down. 



Walter Ketzer, vice-president of the St. 

 Louis Seed Co., reports that business is 

 keeping up well. The high water and 

 the recent long spell of rain have helped 

 them greatly in disposing of their sur- 

 plus stock, as many had to plant over 

 the second time, owing to washouts. Mr. 

 Eetzer expects to make a short trip west 

 this week. 



The return of our baseball team, the 

 St. Louis Browns, in the lead for the 

 championship, made quite a lot of work 

 for the florists Sunday, as the players 

 all received floral designs in all shapes. 

 If we are benefited in any way we hope 

 they will remain on top. 



Next week, on Thursday afternoon, the 

 July meeting of the Florists' Club will 

 take place in Bowman's hall. The nomi- 

 nation of oflScers for the ensuing year 

 will take place. The present officers 

 have done their duty well the past year 

 and we hope the new set will do equally 

 well. The trustees will distribute the 

 tickets for the picnic to the members. 

 President Young is looking forward to 

 a large attendance. S. A. F. matters will 

 also come up for discussion, with spe- 

 cial reference to transportation.

ELBERON, N. J. 



The third rose and strawberry show 

 of the Elberon Horticultural Society 

 was held Monday, June 15, at Elberon 

 hall. The classes of roses and straw- 

 berries were well filled and qual- 

 ity was much b etter than last 

 year. There was good competition in 

 all classes and the principal prize win- 

 ners were: James Kennedy, G. Young, 



A. Bauer, B. Wykoff, A. Grieb, S. Sachs 

 and C. G. Kamey. A. Grieb 's vase of 

 campanula and J. Kennedy's vase of 

 Phlox Miss Lingard received high com- 

 mendation. Cultural certificates were 

 presented to J. Kennedy, A. Bauer and 



B. WykofT. The judges were W. D. 

 Robertson, A. Bickards and B. Wood. 



SALINA, KAN. 



Edward Tatro has the foundations 

 nearly completed for some additional 

 greenhouses, which he intends to erect 

 in the near future. In preparation for 

 these building operations, he has been 

 busy for some months filling in the low 

 land along the river banks, so as to place 

 his entire range of houses beyond the 

 reach of the floods to which this region 

 is subject. 



Only a short time ago Mr. Tatro 

 erected a number of greenhouses, which 

 he has now chuck full of flowers. He 

 is raising his own American Beauty 

 roses, and after this summer, for the 

 first time in the history of the town, 

 it will not be necessary to import these 

 flowers. 



The new houses will be located north 

 of those recently erected and will be sim- 

 ilar to them in size and general construc- 

 tion. 



MoLiNE, III. — John Staack and Miss 

 Dora Goenne were married at Daven- 

 port June 24 and were given a home- 

 coming reception by their uninvited 

 friends which was wholly unexpected.
