The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



August 27, 1908. 



Deake, his aunt, of Asheville, N. C, spent 

 Saturday in St. Louis on their way to 

 Snake Eiver Valley, Idaho, where they 

 will make their future home, having sold 

 out their business in Asheville. 



R. A. MePheron, of Litchfield, 111., 

 called on the florists last week. 



J. W. McNeill, of Jackson, Tenn., with 

 his family, spent a day here on their 

 return home from a two weeks' vaca- 

 tion. 



W. C. Smith, John Burke and Fred 

 Alves left Sunday morning for a two 

 weeks' fishing and hunting trip in the 

 Ozark mountains. 



President W. C. Young, of the Florists' 

 Club, has fully recovered from his re- 

 cent sick spell and called on friends 

 downtown last week. 



Miss Minnie Beyers, bookkeeper for 

 F. C. Weber, is spending her vacation 

 this week at the Meinhardt cottage, on 

 the Ulinois side, near Alton. 



Mrs. M. M. Ayres has everything in 

 fine shape for the fall trade. A new 

 coat of white paint all over the inside 

 and a fine show of extra fine fern plants 

 of all kinds make the place a great at- 

 traction in that neighborhood. 



J. F. Ammann is cutting a fine lot of 

 Killairney and Ivory roses for this mar- 

 ket. He will also grow Perles this year. 

 A nice cut of carnations and asters also 

 comes from his place to Kuehn's. 



Christ Sanders, of Smith's, who has 

 been confined a week through sickness, 

 is out again and back in the store. 



For the funeral of Councilman O'Brien 

 the following florists had large and ex- 

 pensive floral designs to make: Oster- 

 tag Bros., Grimm & Gorley, Riessen 

 Floral Co. and Foster Floral Co. Nearly 

 all in the trade had some work for this 

 funeral. 



Alex. Waldbart & Sons, at Horton 

 place, have had a splendid summer trade. 

 Their store and show houses are great 

 attractions for flower lovers in that 

 neighborhood. 



W. J. Pilcher, of Kirkwood, has re- 

 turned from his vacation trip to Chi- 

 cago, much pleased with what he saw at 

 the big plants around the city. 



Henry Ostertag, trustee-elect of the 

 Florists' Club, has already gone to work 

 laying plans for the fall and winter meet- 

 ings of the club. He says, "Leave it to 

 me and, with Charlie and Billy, we will 

 make things interesting for the mem- 

 bers, so that all the meetings hereafter 

 will have some special feature, which will 

 bring out the members to attend the 

 meetings." The September meeting, 

 which takes place at Edwardsville, 111., 

 at the home of J. F. Ammann, will have 

 special features, so no one can afford to 

 miss it. 



C. C. Sanders, chairman of the execu- 

 tive committee of the local Horticultural 

 Society, reports that the fall show of the 

 society will be held the first week in 

 November, in the Armory hall, comer of 

 Grand avenue and Market street. The 

 committee is holding regular meetings 

 and the show should be a success in 

 every way. J- J- B. 



Davenport, Ia. — The regular meeting 

 of the Tri-City Florists' Club was held 

 at the home of Henry Paull, on Eastern 

 avenue, August 13. A large number of 

 the members were present. The discus- 

 sion was on "The Handling of Cold 

 Storage Bulbs." All members reported 

 themselves well satisfied with the picnic. 

 The next meeting will be with Harry 

 Bills, September 3.
