Central; Frank Vennemann, of Kirkwood; 

 Edwin Denker, of St. Charles, were the 

 out-of-town members who attended the 

 Florists' Club meeting December 10. 



The Florists' Bowling Club rolls at 

 the Westminster alleys, 4000 Olive street. 

 All florists who wish to bowl will find 

 the boys there every Monday night. 

 President Connon says all are welcome 

 at any time. J. J. B. 



NEW ORLEANS. 



The big display of Christmas trees at 

 all the flower stores seems to indicate 

 that the sale of them will be large this 

 year. Plenty of pinetops coming from 

 over the lake are also brought up here 

 and find ready purchasers at a smaller 

 price. Poinsettia pulcherrima, helped by 

 several mild winters, is in full bloom all 

 over the gardens, growing as high as ten 

 feet. It seems, if the English method 

 of preserving poinsettia bracts, by im- 

 mersing the ends for about one inch in 

 boiling water, is in any way effective, 

 that an enterprising man could make 

 some payable shipments to northern 

 localities. 



Hardy palms of many kinds, such as 

 phoenix, chamserops, washingtonia, etc., 

 are loaded with seeds. Would it not be 

 more direct to get them from here in- 

 stead of going far awav from the United 

 States f 



D. Guthler is building a double house 

 15x130 with raised benches, using butted 

 glass and installing a Wilks boiler, for 

 raising cucumbers in winter and, no 

 doubt, followed by chrvsanthemums.

GROWERS INCORPORATE. 



The Violet Growers' Association, ot 

 Ehinebeck, N. Y., has filed a certificate 

 of incorporation with the Secretary of 

 State, at Albany. The incorporators an> 

 A. C. Toflf, L. Van Vredenburgh, Edwin 

 Marquardt, James Snyder and Stanton 

 Rockefeller. The purposes of the organ- 

 ization are declared to be the commercial 

 welfare of the members and their pro- 

 tection from "the abuses which afl'ect the 

 trade." 



GLASS WORKERS ASK MORE PAY. 



A giMieral increase of j)racticallv 

 twenty-five ])or cent in wages, to take 

 effect December 19, will be demanded by 

 the National Window Glass Workers. A 

 L. Faulkner, president of the union, said 

 the members would make the fight of 

 their lives to obtain the higher rate of

 mean a labor war that will affect the 

 glass market. At least, it means a rise 

 in prices. 



ROSA LAXA AS A ROSE STOCK. 



We notice a recommendation of this 

 stock in an American contemporary, says 

 the Horticultural Advertiser (English), 

 and think it may be as well to warn our 

 readers against investing in same, as 

 it has been tried and condemned by our 

 leading growers. If our recollection is 

 correct this stock was introduced some 

 ten years or so ago by Otto Froebel, 

 and its remarkable vigor and quickness 

 in reaching maturity seemed to promise 

 a considerable measure of utility. It has 

 not, however, made a good standard stem 

 as was hoped, and its abnormal fertility 

 in producing suckers is against its use 

 in other forms. As far as we have 

 gathered, the only point in favor of E. 

 laxa as a stock is that it is ready to bud 

 very early in the season and consequently 

 may be utilized for buds from plants 

 grown under glass. Buds inserted early 

 push the same season and small plants 

 of novelties may thus be had for autumn 

 sale. We do not advocate this system, 

 as, the plants produced under it would 

 not give satisfaction under all condi- 

 tions, but many are willing to sacrifice 

 something in the modern rush to be first 

 with a new thing. 



Kindly discontinue my advertisemeot 

 of alyssum. It did the work. I sold out 

 clean and could have sold more. —
