one of its thermostatic instruments. C. 

 M. Davidson gave a demonstration of its 

 working^ which interested the members 

 greatly. 



The meeting opened at 2 o 'clock, with. 

 President George B. Windier in the 

 chair and all the rest of the officers 

 present. W. A. Rowe, of Kirkwood, was 

 elected a member. Henry Wenzel and 



Charles T. Hecht, of Anglum, made ap- 

 plications for membership. A new com- 

 mittee was appointed on advertising 

 through the Florists' Club, consisting of 

 C. De Wever and John Connon. The 

 chair appointed Charles Beyer, F. J. Fill- 

 more and Mr. Young to report on the 

 vase of Shasta carnations. Their report 

 road as follows: "We, the committee, 



think it an improvement on existing 

 white varieties on account of being heav- 

 ily fringed, and recommend a certificate 

 of merit. ' ' The chair called upon W. C. 

 Young for a talk on his New Orleans 

 trip, and Frank J. Fillmore read an in- 

 teresting paper on "The Troubles of a 

 Grower," which are amusing at times. 

 Several questions brought out a good dis- 

 cussion. 



William C. Smith was instructed to 

 prepare a paper for the next meeting on 

 "The Troubles of a Wholesaler." The 

 next meeting takes place Thursday, Feb- 

 ruary 10, at 2 o'clock. 



The Ladies Organize. 



The St. Louis members of the Ladies' 

 S. A. F. have organized a society called 

 the Home Circle. No one can belong 

 who is not a member of the Ladies' 8. 

 A. F. An informal meeting was first 

 called at the home of Mrs. John Steidle, 

 in Central, a month ago. The first regu- 

 lar meeting of the circle, which was 

 called by Miss M. Meinhardt, was held 

 Monday afternoon, January 10, in the 

 parlors of the Washington hotel. Those 

 who responded to the call were Mesdames 

 John Steidle, F. C. Weber, Theo. Miller, 

 Otto G. Koenig, C. A. Kuehn, G. B. 

 Windier, H. G. Berning, Carl Beyer, F. 

 H. Meinhardt, J. J. Ben eke -"-nd Misses 

 Matilda Meinhardt and J. Meinhardt. 

 The election of officers took place. Mrs. 

 John Steidle was elected president and 

 Miss Matilda Meinhardt secretary and 

 treasurer. The object of the circle is to 

 meet once a month, to entertain visiting 

 lady florists when in the city and to pro- 

 mote the interests of the Ladies ' S. A. K. 

 Each month one of the members will read
