signment of Golden Glow mums last 

 week. They sold well. 



Mayor Kreisman vetoed the bill for an 

 increase of salary of all park employees, 

 much to the disappointment of the hun- 

 dreds of park men. The bill had passed 

 both the house and council. 



Several hundred long, fancy American 

 Beauties were used by the local trade last 

 week, the occasion being the birthday of 

 Hon. E. J. Lackland, president of the 

 Boatman's Bank, he being 90 years old. 

 All Beauty bunches contained ninety 

 flowers. These, with other bunches, com- 

 pletely filled his offices. Mr. Lackland is 

 a great lover of flowers, and was a life- 

 long friend of the late Henry Shaw. 



Robert J. Windier is off on his vaca- 

 tion trip north. He will also visit Canada 

 before returning home. Miss Rose Wind- 

 ier will be in ch^ge of the store. 



J. H. Billington, formerly in the flo- 

 rists' business here on Easton avenue, 

 was a visitor last week. Mr. Billington 

 is now with the United States government 

 a* inspector of national cemeteries. 



The trade received a shock Saturday, 

 July 10, when the news came of the death 

 of Herbert Heller, at New Castle, Ind. 

 Mr. Heller was well known among the 

 trade here, who extesnd their sympathy to 

 the bereaved family. 



The members of the executive board of 



the St. Louis Horticultural Society held 

 their regular monthly meeting Tuesday, 

 July 13. F. W. Brockman was chairman 

 of the committee. Arrangements were 

 completed for holding the fall show in 

 the new Coliseum. 



The weather has been too hot of late 

 for bowling, but it is expected that by 

 next week those who will make up the 

 team to represent St, Louis at Cincinnati 

 will start practice. 



Fred H. Meinhardt, state vice-president 

 of the S. A. F., is out with a letter stat- 

 ing that he has arranged for a florists' 

 special over the Baltimore & Ohio rail- 

 road for Cincinnati, leaving Monday, 

 August 16, at 9:28 p. m., the fare being 

 the same as that of the Florists' Club's 

 special oter the Big Four railroad. He 

 also states that his special is expected to 

 carry President Valentine and other offi- 

 cials from the west. 



The florists of St. Loui^ and vicinity, 

 with their families and friends, should 

 not forget to attend the club's picnic 

 Wednesday, July 21, at Romona park. 

 The suburban car to Suburban park will 

 take you direct to the grounds. All ar- 

 rangements are complete, and it is ex- 

 pected that the largest crowd that ever 

 attended a club's ollting will be on hand. 

 Do not fail to get a souvenir program of 

 all events. J. J. B. 



DENVER. 



New Wholesale House. 



The Denver Wholesale Florists Co. has 

 been organized and September 1 will open 

 a general wholesale cut flower commission 

 and supply business at 1433 and 1435 

 California street. The concern is capital- 

 ized at $10,000. The stock is in the 

 hands of some nine leading growers for 

 the Denver market and Lyle C. Water- 

 bury, who will be the manager. 



There have been several attenyjjts to 

 establish a wholesale commission business 

 in Denver, which have fallen short of auc- 

 cess for one reason or another. The new 

 company will have the backing of the 

 stockholding growers and the advantage 

 of the much broader market which now 

 exists in JJenver. Not only has the local 

 demand increased, but the wholesale ship- 

 ping business extends for hundreds of 

 miles in all directions. It is anticipated 

 that in time, and not such a great time 

 either, Denver will be an important whole- 

 sale cut flower center. The supply is in- 

 creasing as rapidly as is the demand. 



VMioui Notes. 



Colorado now has twenty-seven mem- 

 bers of the S. A. F., and it is plahned to 

 send a big delegi-tion to Cincinnati as an 

 escort for President Valentine. The
