Sunday opening of the year. Accord- 

 ing to the will of Henry Shaw, the 

 garden should only be open to the 

 public the- first Sunday in June and 

 September. Superintendent Irish has 

 everything in readiness for the open- 

 ing. 



Friday, September 1, will end the 

 early closing of the four wholesale 

 houses, which has been in operation 

 since June 15. 



The Apple Growers' Congress was 

 held here, at the Planters' hotel, last 

 week, lasting two days. All the meet- 

 ings were well attended. J. W. Stan- 

 ton, of Richview, 111., was elected presi- 

 dent; Louis Erde, of Cedar Gap, Mo., 

 vice-president; J. C. Wilson, of Co- 

 lumbia, Mo., secretary; Wesley Greene, 

 of Des Moines, la., treasurer, and L. 

 A. Goodman, of Kansas City, Mo., sta- 

 tistician. Richard Dalton, president 

 of the State Board of Horticulture, 

 made the opening address. 



The working force of the Smith 

 Wholesale Floral Co. was busy all the 

 week rearranging the place for the 

 opening of the fall season. 



The Angermueller force is busy re- 

 painting and making other interior im- 

 provements. 



With a few exceptions, all of our 

 vacationists of the retail and whole- 

 sale stores have returned home and are 

 eager for the opening of the fall sea- 

 son. Prospects seem good for a busy 

 season. 



Our nurserymen, Messrs. Sanders, 

 Weber, Rothenheber and Schuette, say 

 they expect a busy fall trade in fruit 

 and shade trees and shrubs of all kinds. 

 They have plenty of orders booked 

 ahead. 



Robert Scott, the Schreve avenue 

 florist, has just completed a new 

 house, the second one this year, both 

 over 100 feet long. Mr. Scott's stock 

 is handled by C. A. Kuehn. 



Robert J. Windier, the well known 

 local retailer and president elect of 

 the Florists ' Club, will leave at the end 

 of the week for Chicago. Mr. Windier 

 and Miss Amy Zender, daughter of 

 Adam Zender, will be married there 

 Wednesday, September 6. Frank Wind- 

 ier will act as best man and the bride 

 and groom will take an eastern honey- 

 moon trip before returning home. 



Many improvements are being made 

 at C. A. Kuehn 's and H. G. Berning's 

 and all will be in fine shape by Sep- 

 tember 1. J. J. B.
