and form good, apparently a good com- 

 mercial variety; Conquest, fancy, on the 

 Prosperity type, showing pink color more 

 distinct; Mary Tolman, salmon pink in 

 color, form and stem good. 



C. De Wever was then called upon to 

 read his paper on "Advertising Through 

 Our Florists' Club," which was fol- 

 lowed by a discussion in which all the 

 members took part. The paper was 

 handed over to a committee of two, C. 

 De Wever and J. J. Beneke, to report 

 on it at the next meeting. The chair 

 requested Frank J. Fillmore to read a 

 paper at the next meeting on "The 

 Troubles of a Grower." 



A vote of thanks was extended to the 

 carnation growers who exhibited blooms, 

 and to Mr. De Wever for his able paper, 

 also to the management of the poultry 

 show for their kind invitation to attend 

 the show in a body. After the meeting 

 adjourned, all members were taken in 

 hand by W. C. Smith and taken to view 

 the poultry show at the Coliseum. The 

 next meeting of the club takes place 

 Thursday afternoon, January 13. 



J. F. Ammann and Henry Blixen, of 

 Edwardsville ; John Connon, of Webster 

 Groves; E. W. Guy, of Belleville; F. 

 Vennemann, W. A. Eowe, W. J. Pilcher 

 and Edwin Denker were our suburban 

 members who attended the meeting. Ex- 

 President H. C. Irish, superintendent of 

 the Missouri Botanic Garden, also at- 

 tended. 



Vaiiotit Note*. 



W. C. Young and Alexander Waldbart 

 were appointed by the court as apprais- 

 ers of the stock of the Michel Plant & 

 Bulb Co., who filed a petition in bank- 



ruptcy some time ago. The ground upon 

 which the Michel Plant & Bulb Co. is 

 located is the property of the Henry 

 Shaw estate and the lease has seven more 

 years to run. The Michel property will 

 no doubt be sold in bulk and the buyer 

 can retain the seven-year lease. 



William C. Young is contemplating a. 

 trip to New Orleans soon after Christ- 

 mas. Mr. Young says he never has been 

 that far south. Our old friend, Harry 

 Papworth, will take care of him on his 

 arrival. 



Miss May Burns, late with Kahrs 

 Floral Co., is now with Grimm & Gorley 

 on Washington avenue. Miss Burns 

 will be a good help to the cut flower de- 

 partment. 



The H. J. Weber & Sons Nursery Co., 

 Sanders Nurseries and Emil Eothenheber 

 had a busy fall season. The zero weather 

 last week put a stop to their livork. 



The florists in the west end who have 

 show-houses are offering some excepj- 

 tionally fine, seasonable decorative and 

 blooming plants for the holidays. Among 

 those who are well supplied are: Mrs. 

 Ayers, George Waldbart, Fred C. Weber, 

 r. H. Weber, Ellison Floral Co., J. F. 

 Windt, Sanders Nurseries and Kalisch 

 Bros. Floral Co. 



Bouquet green is extremely scarce here 

 this year. The Third street commission 

 men say there are only a few crates to 

 be had and hold them at $15 per hun- 

 dred pounds. Holly is plentiful at $4 

 to $5 per case. 



C. Young & Sons Co. are showing a 

 fine lot of poinsettias in pans, also other 

 fine blooming plants.
