be changed, and the farmer, as well as 

 the dealer, held responsible." 



Practically all the speakers were 

 agreed that the law should apply to 

 farmers. It was shown that in the fifteen 

 prosecutions begun during the last year, 

 all the seed was furnished by farmers. 



The legislative committee of the Iowa 

 Seed Dealers' Association consists of H.

 Moines, and B, H, Adams, Decorah. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



Business with some of the florists last 

 week was good; others say that there was 

 nothing going on except for funerals. 

 There was a lot of work for school com- 

 mencements, but it will be at an end this 

 week. The weather is becoming hot, the 

 good old summer time is upon us, and 

 our season is ended. The hot weather is 

 telling on the quality of the stock as we 

 .see it coming in at the wholesale houses. 

 Everything in season is plentiful, and the 

 wholesalers must sell cheap in order to 

 make room for the next shipment. The 

 prices that some of the roses and carna- 

 tions brought last week hardly paid the 

 express charges. 



Sweet peas are a big glut in all colors. 

 Lily of the valley had a good call, there 

 being a good many weddings. Candidum 

 lilies are also coming in heavily. Among 

 other outdoor flowers coming are corn- 

 flowers, daisies and gladioli, also a few 

 extra good peonies. In all greens the 

 market is Avell supplied. 



Club Meeting. 



The Florists' Club held its regular 

 monthly meeting Thursday afternoon, 

 .Tune 10, in Bowman's hall, with all the 

 oflficers present. The meeting was fairly 

 well attended, the total number present 

 being twenty. The trustees reported that 

 they had engaged Eomona park in which 

 to hold the club's annual picnic July 21. 

 Full details of program and other ar- 

 rangements will be made known at the

July meeting, which takes place three 

 weeks before the annual event. 



William Sftaith, who has charge of the 

 club's S. A. F. affairs, announced that 

 he had arranged with the Big Four rail- 

 road for a special car and rates to Cin- 

 cinnati for the convention. The trustees 

 were unable to find a new n^eeting place, 

 and it was decided to remain in the old 

 quarters until the fall. The treasurer's 

 report showed a good balance to the 

 club's credit. 



The question box brought out a few 

 interesting discussions. Secretary Bent- 

 zen reported quite a few delinquent mem- 

 bers on his books, who will be notified to 

 pay by next meeting. Before adjourn-
