has been good, most of the work being 

 for funerals. 



Henry Ostertag spent a few days last 

 week with the Peoria florists and pur- 

 chased nearly a boat-load of decorative 

 plants from Cole Bros. He found Henry 

 Baer's carnations and Cole Bros.' roses 

 in the finest condition. 



Mrs. W. J. Pilcher, of Kirkwood, was 

 in the city Friday, August 28, attending 

 the funeral of her cousin in the Wolfs- 

 burger family. 



On Sunday, September 6, will be the 

 second Sunday opening of the year at 

 Shaw's Gardens. Two Sundays in the 

 year, the first in June ancl the second 

 in September, the g|r3ens are open to 

 the public. These two events each year 

 draw large crowds. 



Starting Tuesday, September 1, our 

 four wholesale houses are again keep- 

 ing open until six and all day Saturday. 



President Young, of the Florists ' Club, 

 has appointed C. C. Sanders and J. J. 

 Beneke to take charge of the installa- 

 tion ceremonies at the next club meet- 

 ing, so the old firm of Sanders and 

 Beneke will be working together again 

 on that day. 



The Eggeling Floral Co. has wrecked 

 all its houses but one at South Grand 

 avenue, to be rebuilt at its new place 

 near Normandy. Shaw's Gardens are 

 grading all around them, clear through 

 to Tower Grove avenue, which will in- 

 clude their place when their leasehold 

 expires. 



George Waldbart's place shows quite 

 an improvement with the new addition to 

 the front on Grand avenue. Mr. Wald- 

 bart's vacation was spent mostly at his 

 summer home in Clayton. 



Mrs. Middleton has vacated her posi- 

 tion as bookkeeper for George Anger- 

 mueller, which makes room for Mrs. Mey- 

 ers, who has returned from Kansas, after 

 spending six months for her health in 

 that state. She now looks the picture 

 of health. 



Ed. Kalisch, who returned recently 

 fr.om a fishing trip, was in the wholesale 

 district Monday, showing pictures of 

 his trip and that his fish stories were 

 all true. 



At H. J. Weber & Sons' place, the big 

 rose houses are in fine shape for a good 

 season's cut. They will try carnations 

 this year. Enchantress and Rose-pink En- 

 chantress. 



The Poster Floral Co. has put in fruit 

 in addition to its floral department, and 

 Mr. Foster thinks it will be a paying 

 venture. 



Mr. and Mrs. Henry Beming, Mr. and 

 Mrs. F. J. Meinhardt, Miss Tillie Mein- 



Here's a new line — hard fired, non absorb- 

 ent, sreen slazed. Much the moat attactlve,

 at the store of Ostertag Bros., on Fri- 

 day night, August 28, and made all ar- 

 rangements for the next club meeting 

 at Edwardsville. 



C. C. Sanders' Henly road place is in 

 fine shape for the fall and winter sea- 

 sons. All stock from there is used up

 thing to do, Young's having the bank 

 order. 



Mrs. Buechel, of the Kiessen Floral 

 Co., is noted for pretty window decora- 

 tions. Their Broadway store is always 

 an attractive spot for the passing public. 



The members of the St. Louis Florists' 

 Club should not forget that next Thurs- 

 day, September 10, the meeting of the 

 club will be held in Edwardsville, 111., 

 at the home of J. F. Ammann. The
