A visit to the greenhouses of C. Young 

 & Sons Co. September 6 w|is a treat. 

 Under the 130,000 feet of glass there ia 

 everything that belongs to a first-class 

 place of this kind. There are several fine 

 houses of chrysanthemums, carnations 

 and roses, also a fine bench of some 400 

 longiflorum giganteum which will soon be 

 in bloom. This is one of the largest es- 

 tablishments of its kind west of the 

 Mississippi river. While inspecting the 

 grounds the scribe found another visitor, 

 William C. Smith. After sampling the 

 good things James Young had on ice, his 

 j)ool room was visited and a match game 

 was shot, James Young and W. C. Smith 

 against AV. C. Young and J. J. Bcneke, in 



which the latter pair were defeated. In 

 this way a most enjoyable afternoon was 

 spent. 



Christ Sanders has left the employ of 

 W. C. Smith & Co. and has taken a posi- 

 tion with H. G. Berning. 



Fred C. Weber, Jr., has returned from 

 his trip to Yellowstone park and other 

 points of interest in the western states. 

 His looks indicate that his trip was ben- 

 eficial to his health. 



The Michel Plant & Bulb Co. on 

 Wednesday, September 9, held an auction 

 at its greenhouses in order to dispose of 

 a surplus of specimen ferns. 



The nurserymen, Messrs. Weber, San- 

 ders and Schuette, will have plenty of 

 work on hand from now on, delivering 



and planting fall orders. Frank Weber 

 says they are putting on an extra force 

 of men for packing trees. 



E. W. Guy, of Belleville, visited the 

 different florists in Kirkwood recently 

 and speaks highly of their prospects for 

 the winter season. 



The Grimm & Gorley oowling team has 

 entered the commercial bowling league 

 and rolled its first match for the season 

 Tuesday of last week, losing two out of 

 the three games. 



Fred Ammann, of Edwardsville, was a 

 visitor last week. 



Mrs. H. C. Irish has returned to her 

 city home, having spent the summer near 

 Clayton. 



Himmer Bros., at Meramec Highlands,
