attend the annual convention of the 

 American Association of Park Superin- 

 tendents. 



There is some talk of the reorganiza- 

 tion of the florists ' bowling club for this 

 fall and winter. The first step taken 

 was at a meeting held recently by a few 

 of the old club members at the residence 

 of President W, C. Young. This will be 

 taken up at the next club meeting. 



Miss Rolfes, of the city forester's of- 

 fice, is taking a vacatipn. On her return, 

 August 10, Mr. Meyer, the city forester, 

 will leave for a northern trip for the 

 balance of the month. On his return 

 William Jordan, his assistant, will be 

 given his vacation. 



Alex. Siegel, who with his wife is 

 spending his vacation at Mackinac Is- 

 land, writes to some of his friends that 

 his head is rapidly becoming naked, not 

 on account of business, but because the 

 fish don't bite to suit him. 



The members of the Florists' Club 

 should not fail to attend the meeting of 



the club Thursday afternoon, August 13, 

 at 2 p. m. It is the duty of every mem- 

 ber to.be present at this meeting, as there 

 will be the election of officers, the secre- 

 tary's report and the payment of annual 

 dues.. This meeting, too, will be bene- 

 ficial to those going to the S. A. P. con- 

 vention. A vote will also be taken on the 

 proposition to hold the club meetings in 

 the evening hereafter. A full attendance 

 is looked for. J. J. B. 



SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. 



Gustav Schneider severed his connec- 

 tion with the Springfield Floral Co. Au- 

 gust 1. Mr. Schneider has held the po- 

 sition of superintendent and general 

 manager of that concern for the last 

 five years. He also has a greenhouse 

 on South Center boulevard. He has 

 been in the cut flower business only 

 since last fall, but in that time has built 

 up a good trade. 



Mr. Schneider entered the greenhouse 



business when only 15 years old, in the 

 George H. Mellen Co. plant. He was 

 also employed at the Schmidt & Botley 

 greenhouses for a number of years. When 

 the Springfield Floral Co. incorporated, 

 about five years ago, Mr. Schneider ac- 

 cepted the position from which he has 

 just resigned. He was also a stockholder 

 and director of the Springfield Floral Co. 

 Mr. Schneider recently purchased the 

 Patrick Agnew. greenhouses, located on. 

 East Johnson avenue, which will be used 

 to grow fancy grades of peonies and 

 phlox, and other plants for which there 

 is a demand. Plans have already been 

 laid for the building of a greenhouse 

 about 35x400 feet, which will be erected 

 next summer and will be used for grow- 

 ing a fancy grade of carnations. 



Omaha, Neb. — Lewis Henderson, who 

 is state vice-president for the S. A. P., 

 Fays that the florists of Omaha and Ne- 

 braska are doing well; prosperity seems 

 to be all around. While business is a lit- 

 tle quiet just now, everyone is busy pre- 

 paring -for next season, which is expected 

 to be the best yet. 



AsHEViLLE, N. C. — It is stated that 

 negotiations are now in progress for the 

 sale of the property of the Idlewild 

 Floral Co., on Charlotte street, and that 

 if the deal is closed the property will be 

 subdivided into lots and improved for 

 sale. The property includes about 700 

 feet frontage on Charlotte street and 

 embraces nineteen acres, and by reason 

 of its situation, adjoining the Manor 

 and opposite Grove park, is quite valu- 

 able. It is now owned by Mrs. C. T. C. 

 Deake and J. W, C. Deake.
