A Visit to BeUeviUe. 



On Wednesday, July 26, W, C. Smith, 

 W. J. Pilcher and J. J. Beneke spent the 

 day visiting the Belleville florists. The 

 party called first on the St. Clair Floral 

 Co. and was received by A. S. Halstead. 

 After this well kept plant had been in- 

 spected, Mr. Halstead put his large 

 touring car into commission and took 

 the visitors to K W. Guy 's place. From 

 there, in company with Mr. Guy, the 

 party went to A. G. Fehr's place. Gust 

 Grossart's was the next stopping place 

 and then the West End Floral Park, of 

 which Henry Emunds is proprietor. 



At all these places everything was 

 found in good shape for the coming 

 fall season. The St. Clair Floral Co. 

 had all its carnations and chrysanthe- 

 mums planted and they looked well. Mr. 

 Guy had not started planting, but his 

 field stock looked healthy. Mr. Fehr 

 was busy getting ready for planting 

 and for the building of two more houses. 

 Mr. Grossart, who grows a little of 

 everything, had his houses in excellent 

 shape. At the West End Floral Park 

 Mr. Emunds showed the visitors several 

 remarkably fine houses of chrysanthe- 

 mums. All complained, of course, of 

 the long dry spell and the constant 

 watering that had been necessary to 

 keep the plants alive. In spite of this, 

 Belleville will be well supplied with 

 cut stock this fall and winter. 



After a tour of the city, inspecting 

 all points of interest, the visitors were 

 taken to the Elks ' club room for dinner, 

 as guests of A. S. Halstead. Then the 

 St. Louis party left for home, with 

 pleasant memories of the hospitalities 

 of the Belleville florists. 



Various Notes. 



F. J. Farney, representing M. Kice & 

 Co., Philadelphia, reports a good busi- 

 ness here for last week. 



Mrs. John Steidle, president of the 

 Ladies' Home Circle, says that the next 

 meeting of the lady florists will be 

 held at Chautauqua in September, in 

 honor of Miss Matilda Meinhardt, their 

 secretary, who will have returned from 

 her trip to Europe by that time. A 

 full attendance is expected on this 

 occasion. 



Julius Dilhoflf, representing the 

 Schloss Bros, ribbon house. New York 

 city, was here last week, calling on the 

 trade. 



State Vice-president Fred H. Weber, 

 of the S. A. F., was out booming the 

 Baltimore meeting last week. He has 

 quite a few names on his list for the 

 trip and expects to have a complete list 

 of those who are going by August 10. 



The election of the three-year term 

 trustees of the Florists' Club will be a 

 lively contest. The candidates, J. F. 

 Ammann and Frank A. Weber, are both 

 confident of success. 



President Sanders and Secretary 

 Windier say there will be an important 

 meeting of the Retail Florists' Asso- 

 ciation on Monday, August 14. Quite 

 a few names will be presented for mem- 

 bership. 



David Geddes, of the Ayera Floral 

 Co., says that the improvements have 

 been completed in the workroom and 

 show house. All the heating system has 

 been renovated and they are now ready 

 for the opening of the season.
