Various Notes. 



W. .1. Pilcher. of Kirkwood. left Sun- 

 day night for a week 's visit to Chicago, 

 where ie h:is many friends in tiio trade. 



.T. F. Anunaiin was one nt' the speakers 

 ;it the Shaw hampu't .August ll'. His 

 topic was "The Florist" ami he rei)re- 

 sented the St. Lmiis l-'h.ristv" Cjiih at the 

 speakers' table. 



The Plant Sail <',,,. luiw located at ><0l' 

 Xorth Main, has one of the most com- 

 plete seed establishment'^ in the city, do- 

 ing a strictly w holes.ale business. Fred 

 Plant, known to all seeiismen, is head of 

 the lirm. They had a most excellent 

 season. 



A. .). I'.entzeii, head of the Bentzen 

 Floral (,'(j.. says tlnit the two men who 

 were recently hurt by a lime explosion 

 have recovered and are at work again. 

 They have a fine field of carnations, 

 which they expect to house the latter part 

 of the imuith. Their retail store on 

 Xorth (jran<l a\emH> is doing a nice sum- 

 me) business.

I HIS lot of boxes must be disposed of. We 

 marked them down lo they will move fast, 

 and as long as they last you can have them 

 at these prices. 



We will print your card on the flower boxes 

 on orders of 1000 and over, free of charge, but if 

 you can save us the trouble of printing them, we 

 will allow 10/ cash discount from these prices and 

 you can take as many as you like. You need 

 boxes in your business every day, so take advan- 

 tage of making money by buying now.
