 there being as much of it as anyone 

 wants. 



Qub Meeting;. 



The Florists' Club held its regular 

 monthly meeting Thursday afternoon, 

 November 11. The attendance at this 

 meeting was the largest in the history 

 of the club, and when President Wind- 

 ier called the meeting to order there 

 were sixty-five florists present. 



Gustave M. Grossart, of Belleville, 111., 

 made application for membership. 



As there were a large number of visit- 

 ing florists present, the chair declared a 

 recess, for a few minutes, to become 

 acquainted with the visitors. After re- 

 cess, the chair called upon F. J. Am- 

 mann to read his paper on ' ' What the 

 Wholesaler, Betailer and Grower Derive 

 from Flower Shows, ' ' which was declared 

 by those present to be one of the best 

 papers ever read at a club meeting. 



The chair then requested C. DeWever 

 to present a paper to his own liking, at 

 the next meeting, which Mr. DeWever 

 agreed to do. 



The report of the treasurer showed 

 that the club is well supplied with funds 

 to carry out the plans for the fall and 

 winter meetings, each meeting to have 

 a social feature of some kind. 



The trustees reported that they had 

 arranged for a smoker and lunch at the 

 new Knickerbocker cafe at the close of 

 the meeting. On entering the banquet 

 hall the entire body of sixty -five were 

 seated at a T-shaped table, which was 

 handsomely decorated with roses and 

 carnations. After the innerman had 

 been satisfied, President Windier an- 

 nounced that J. F. Ammann would be 

 toastmaster for the evening. Mr. Am- 

 mann then called upon all the visitors 

 at the head table. Those who spoke 

 were W. W. Coles, S. S. Skidelsky, J. A. 

 Peterson, J. J. Karins, I. C. Bertermann 

 and Joe Hill. Ex-presidents Young, Hal- 

 stead and Fillmore also gave good talks. 

 Two large automobiles, that were in 

 waiting, then took the entire party to 

 the Coliseum, where the flower show was 

 being held, and the rest of the evening 

 was spent among the plants and flowers. 

 The next meeting of the club comes De- 

 cember 9, and the officers are looking 

 for another large attendance. 



Various Notes. 



C. H. Perkins II, of Jackson & Per- 

 kins, Newark, N. Y., was a recent vis- 

 itor. Mr. Perkins says that he had a 

 pleasant stay aud a good trade in his 

 line. 



There were a great many trade visit- 

 ors in the city last week. 



The thirty-sixth annual convention of 

 the Horticultural Society of Southern 

 Illinois will be held November 23 and 24 

 at Vienna, 111. A. S. Halstead, president 

 of the St. Clair Floral Co., of Belleville, 

 111., is booked for a discussion on "Cross 

 Pollenization, " and Mr. Dintelmann, 

 also of Belleville, is down for a discus- 

 sion on ' ' Beautifying the Home. ' ' 



William C. Young and his nephew, 

 <'harlie, say they are much pleased with 

 the result of their entries at the flower 

 show. Their table and mantel decora- 

 tions, and their bridal bouquet, were 

 tastefully arranged and showed good 

 workmanship, and their floral display of 

 four pieces, the last day, was beautifully 

 worked up. 



Fred Lautenschlager was with us last 

 week in the interest of Kroeschell Bros., 

 Chicago. He is quite popular with the

EASY TO HANDLE 



That's one good reason 

 why Capitol "Divided Sec- 

 tions " are so popular. 



A very good reason, too, 

 when you consider that this 

 means a saving of labor. 



Keep this in mind when 

 considering your new 

 boiler.
