for the automobile show. They report a 

 big Valentine's day business, 



"William Winter, of Kirkwood, is cut- 

 ting an extra fine lot of carnations and 

 California violets. These are being 

 handled by Henry G. Berning, 



Carl Beyer and John Connon, who 

 were on the sick list last week, are out 

 again and attending to business as usual. 



George B. Windier will, as usual, have 

 a fine lot of extra fine blooming plants 

 for Easter, Mr. Windier has just re- 

 turned from a pleasant trip to Cham- 

 paign-Urbana, 111. 



All the downtown florists did a big 

 business with violets for St. Valentine's 

 day and some novel window displays 

 were seen. The Eiessen Floral Co., Otto 

 Sander, Grimm & Gorly and the Foster 

 Floral Co. say their business almost 

 doubled that of other years, C, Young 

 & Sons Co. and Miss Teresa Badaracco 

 also had extra business on St. Valen- 

 tine's day. 



The present quarters of the W. G. 

 Smith Wholesale Floral Co. at 1316 Pine 

 street are becoming too small. The 

 crowded conditions and their increasing 

 business warrants them in soon looking 

 for much larger accommodations. 



The florists along Grand avenue had 

 the benefit of the crowds attending the 

 automobile show at the Armory hall. 

 Their gaily decorated windows were 

 great attractions and brought them con- 

 siderable business. 



The following members of the Flo- 

 rists' Club attended the annual conven-

 Bruenig, J, F. Ammann, E, W. Guy, A. 

 Fehr, H. Blixen and Henry Johann. E. 

 H. Michel also attended. All have re- 

 turned home much pleased with their 

 trip and in meeting so many friends in 

 the trade. 



The St, Louis Horticultural Society's 

 executive board held a meeting at the 

 Missouri Athletic Club Tuesday, Febru- 

 ary 15. Eight members of the board

 called on Mrs. J. J. Beneke for some-

 the shape of a game of flowers. All 

 answers had to be the name of a flower,

 prize and Mrs. John L. Koenig, second.
