ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



As far as business is concerned, there 

 is absolutely nothing new to report. The 

 store men have gotten sufficiently used 

 to it by this time to content themselves 

 with a funeral design or so for a day's 

 business. Most of them are keeping busy 

 by cleaning up their places with new 

 paper and paint, so as to be in shape 

 for the early fall trade, to which we are 

 all looking forward hopefully. The 

 wholesalers do all their work early each 

 morning, after which there is nothing 

 doing until the next day. The stock 

 that is coming in is of poor quality and 

 shows the effect of the hot weather. 

 American Beauties are among the best 

 in roses that are coming in now, besides 

 a few fine Camots and Perles from 

 Springfield, 111. Carnations are still 

 small in all varieties. Anything good 

 sells well. 



Asters are selling well — that is, those 

 of the fancy grade. They are not as 

 yet as much of a glut as they usually 

 are at this time of the year. Tuberose 

 spikes are arriving in thousand lots from 

 Kirkwood, and sell in lots of 100 at 

 $1.50 to $2. The market has a good 

 supply of all kinds of greens. 



Qub Meeting. 



The annual meeting of the St. Louis 

 Florists' Club was held Thursday after- 

 noon, August 13. The attendance was 

 large and enthusiastic and much interest 

 was taken in the proceedings. The near 

 approach of the 8. A. F. convention, the 

 election of officers and the payment of 

 annual dues brought out the large at- 

 tendance. As President Young, owing 

 to sickness, was unable to be present, 

 and yice-president Angermueller was 

 away on a fishing trip, the members se- 

 lected Ex-president Beneke to preside 

 over the meeting. The meeting opened 

 with thirty members present. After the 

 regular order of business had been dis- 

 posed of, the different committees re- 

 ported. The trustees reported that the 

 recent picnic had cost $50, and the bal- 

 ance of $25 was returned to the treas- 

 urer. 



John J. Burke's name was presented 

 as an applicant for membership. Several 

 names were dropped from the rolls for 

 non-payment of dues, among them five 

 prominent members of the St. Louis 

 Horticultural Society. 



After this the election of officers took 

 place. For president two candidates

were in the field, W. C. Young and Wal- 

 ter Retzer, and the result was the re- 

 election of President Young for another 

 term. For vice-president the candidates 

 were George Angermueller, Henry 

 Emunds and Edwin Denker. After 

 three ballots were taken the office fell 

 to Edwin Denker. For secretary A. J. 

 Bentzen had no opposition and was 

 elected by unanimous vote. The with- 

 drawal of J. J. Beneke from the race 

 for treasurer left the field open to Fred 

 H. Weber, who was also elected by a 

 unanimous vote. For election as a three- 

 year-term trustee, George Frow, C. Juen- 

 gel and Henry Ostertag were the candi- 

 dates. Mr. Ostertag 's election followed 

 on the first ballot. 



J. F. Ammann invited the members to 

 hold their September meeting at his 

 place in Edwardsville, 111., and the invi- 

 tation was accepted with thanks. So the 

 installation of the new officers will take 

 place at the home of*Mr. Ammann. 



The question box, as usual, brought 

 the meeting to an interesting close, after 

 which the members had a good time at 

 a near-by cafe, at the expense of the 

 newly elected trustee, Henry Ostertag. 



Various Notes. 



Mr. and Mrs. Henry Berning left last 

 week for a northern trip, expecting to 

 return by way of Chicago and take in 

 the convention with the Chicago florists. 



W. C. Young, who W8is reported sick 

 last week, is up and about again, look- 

 ing none the worse for his few days' 

 confinement indoors. Mr. Young was 

 much pleased with his reelection as pres- 

 ident of the Florists' Club, also with the 

 balance of the ticket that was elected 

 with him, and things should be lively in 

 club matters this ^1 and winter. 



Frank Fillmore, not to be outdone, 

 has joined the ^andfatber class. It is 

 a boy and it will be named Frank the 

 Fourth. The mother and chili are doing 

 well and we extend our congratulations. 



Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Halatead, of Belle- 

 ville, left Sunday noon with the St. 

 Louis delegation for Niagara Falls, to 

 attend the S. A. F. convention. They 

 win return by way of Detroit, to visit 

 their daughter before returning home. 



Fred Ammann, of Edwardsville, left 

 Sunday to attend the S. A. F. convention 

 at Niagara Falls. He was delegated by 

 the Florists' Club to tell the members 

 at the next meeting all about the con- 

 vention. 



Quite a number of our suburban club 

 members attended the last club meeting. 

 They were: E. W. Guy, A. S. Halstead 

 and Henry Emunds, of Belleville; Henry 

 Johann, of Collinsville, 111.; Edwin 

 Denker, of St. Charles, Mo.; John Con- 

 non, of Webster Groves, Mo., and J. F. 

 Ammann, of Edwardsville, 111.
