The Weekly Florists' Review* 



.Junk 2, 1910. 



the plant trade and the cut flower re- 

 tailer was left to hold the bag. The 

 retailers . say that now that the special 

 demand is over stock will be selling at 

 such ridiculously low prices that the 

 public will wonder and say they were 

 robbed because it was Decoration day. 



Various Notes. 



The St. Louis Ketail Florists' Asso- 

 ciation will hold an important meet- 

 ing Monday, June 6, in the Knights of 

 Columbus hall, Olive and Grand 

 avenue. 



Kobert Ayers, formerly well known 

 in florists' circles, will leave this month 

 with his family for California and will 

 take up his residence in Los Angeles. 



Ed Kalisch, of Kalisch Bros., says 

 that just as soon as the busy season 

 ends he and Mrs. • Kalisch will take 

 their usual summer trip among the 

 northern lakes. Mr. Kalisch is a great 

 fisherman. 



The four wholesale houses will again 

 take up the early closing this year dur- 

 ing the months of July and August. 

 The closing hours will be 5 p. m. each 

 day and 12 o'clock on Saturdays. This 

 will delight the employees. 



Trustees Bentzen, Ostertag and 

 Schoenle, of the Florists' Club, say the 

 florists' picnic will this year surpass 

 any of the club's previous efforts. They 

 will personally see that all the florists 

 are invited and that they all have a 

 good time. 



Charlie Wors says that he has the 

 concession for the sale of flowers at 

 Suburban park and will hereafter be at 

 the park each evening, rain or shine. 

 The evenings so far have been too cool 

 and the attendance has been small. 



June 5 will be the first open Sunday 

 of the year at the Missouri Botanical 

 Garden. Superintendent H. C. Irish has 

 a big force at work getting things in 

 shape for the large crowd expected, 

 should the weather be fine. 



The four wholesalers, C. A. Kuehn, 

 the Smith Wholesale Floral Co., H. G. 

 Berning and George H. Angermueller, 

 had their hands full for Decoration day, 

 supplying the local and shipping trade 

 with cut stock. 



William Ossick, of the W. C. Smith 

 Wholesale Floral Co., with his brother- 

 in-law, E. Windt, has opened a picture 

 show at Wellston and Easton avenues, 

 to which they give their time each 

 evening, and the local trade has given 

 them much patronage. 



This is the season for school com- 

 mencements and June weddings. The 

 trade expects to put in some busy days 

 for the next two weeks, when the sea- 

 son for social work ends and society 

 begins to leave for summer vacations. 



Ostertag Bros, furnished the decora- 

 tions for the Puletizer-Wickham wed- 

 ding, the largest society event of the 

 year. The reception took place on a 

 ' lawn at the bride's residence and they 

 left the arrangements to Ostertag 

 Bros., at a cost of $1,500. 



The Kelley Floral Co. is furnishing 

 the Big Four railroad with ten bou- 

 quets each morning, for the dining car 

 which leaves here at 8 a. m. 



The St. Louis Florists' Club will hold 

 its twenty-third anniversary meeting 

 Thursday afternoon, June 9. The sec- 

 retary is sending out neat notices to 

 the members, urging them to attend. 

 The trustees Ijave arranged for a 

 smoker and the prospects are good for 

 a large attendance. 



The public recreation committee has 



AVE YOU EVER— 



talked with a brother florist who uses Morehead Return Steam Traps? If not, do 

 so at the first opportunity and be convinced that you must install one at once.

 steam traps combined. The Morehead is 

 distinctly a florists' trap. Every feature of 

 its construction has been treated with a view 

 of meeting the special needs of the florist.

What W. J. Palmer & Son, lancaster and 

 Buffalo, New York, have to say of 



"DETROIT" AUTOMATIC RETURN 

 STEAM TRAPS 



"We have been usin? two of your 'Detroit' 

 Traps the past winter on a Gravity System 

 and find they keep the pipe clear of conden- 

 sation, therefore milking the return do aa 

 much as the flow. We are able to heat with 

 less number of pipe than formerly and keep 

 the houses far more even in temperature." 



"Detroit" Traps will do the same for you.

The Standard

Is acknowledged the best for the 

 florist, because it is durable and does 

 its work without trouble and annoy- 

 ance, saving its cost by the economy 

 in coal bills.
