The Weekly Florists' Review* 



February 25, 1909. 



in a line of candy. Mr. Schaefer reports 

 an excellent trade since the opening. 



Himmer Bros., out at Meramec High- 

 lands, are cutting daily a big supply of 

 California violets and fancy sweet peas. 

 They contemplate new additions to their 

 plant this summer. 



Will Smith, C. A.. Kuehn, George An- 

 germueller and Henry Berning, local 

 wholesalers who attended the meeting 

 of the Illinois State Florists' Associa- 

 tion at Springfield, report a splendid 

 time. A. Y. Ellison and Henry Kahrs 

 were the only retailers to attend the 

 meeting from here. 



Fred C. Weber's Valentine's day at- 

 traction in his large show window made 

 a handsome show and attracted a great 

 deal of interest in Ms neighborhood. 



Conrad Bergstermann has an attractive 

 display of blooming plants in his large 

 show house facing Grand avenue. 



The new show house of the Ellison 

 Floral Co. is now completed and adds 

 greatly to the already attractive place 

 at Olive street and Taylor avenue. 



The third annual spring flower show, 

 which will be given by the St. Louis 

 Horticultural Society, according to some 

 of the members of the executive com- 

 mittee, promises to surpass the last two. 

 The committee will meet next week and 

 complete arrangements. 



The present quarters of the W. C. 

 Smith Wholesale Floral Co, are becom- 

 ing too small for them. 



With Lent setting in Wednesday, a 

 number of large weddings took place 

 Monday and Tuesday, which kept some 

 of our uptown florists busy. 



Messrs. Henry Kahrs, Foster, Siegel, 

 Schaeffer and the Eiessen Floral Co., our 

 downtown florists, report they are dis- 

 posing of thousands of violets each day 

 and that business of late has been good 

 in all lines, especially funeral work. 



President W. C. Young, of the St. 

 Louis Florists' Club, says that he and 

 the trustees have called the rose meet- 

 ing off for next month, and that he has 

 appointed John Connon, W. C. Smith 

 and George Angermueller as a committee 

 on bowling, and F. Vennemann, Wm. 

 Winter and C. Fulgraf as a committee 

 on shooting. They will meet Tuesday at 

 Smith's and organize teams to compete 

 at Cincinnati next August during the 

 S. A. F. meeting. 



Among recent visitors were F. J. Far- 

 ney, of the A. L. Bandall Co., and F. 

 Lautenschlager, of Kroeschell Bros. Co., 

 Chicago. J. J. B.

Salem, O. — The Grandview Greenhouse 

 Co. is the name of a partnership just 

 formed by Russell E. Case and Norman 

 W. Weirick, of this city, who have al- 

 ready started the erection of a green- 

 house opposite the entrance of Grandview 

 cemetery, on Franklin avenue. Mr. Case 

 is an experienced florist and was for- 

 merly connected with the Garfield Avenue
