wood, sjiys that they are putting the 

 finishing touches on their four new 

 houses. The entire output of this plant 

 will be handled by C. A. Kuehn. 



Charles Beyer is contemplating a 

 change of front on his salesroom, fac- 

 ing Grand avenue; also other needed 

 alterations. Carl Beyer reports that 

 if the work shapes itself so as to get 

 away, he and Mrs. Beyer will attend 

 the S. A. F. convention at Rochester. 



The De Wever bulletin committee of 

 the Florists' Club met at J. F. Am- 

 mann 's place in Edwardsville Thurs- 

 day, June 22, to prepare a report for 

 the next club meeting. Those who at- 

 tended the meeting were: C. De Wever, 

 G. B. Windier, W. C. Smith, J. F. Am- 

 mann and E. W. Guy. Mr. Connon and 

 J. J. Beneke, of this committee, were 

 unable to make the trip, owing to pre- 

 vious business engagements. After the 

 meeting Mr. Ammann entertained his 

 guests with an automobile ride through 

 the city. The issuing of the bulletin 

 now will depend on the vote of the 

 members at the July meeting of the 

 club. 



W. P. Stark, president of the Ameri- 

 can Association of Nurserymen, has ap- 

 pointed Frank Weber chairman of the 

 entertainment committee and J. W. 

 Schuette chairman of the committee on 

 exhibits for next year's convention. 

 Both Mr. Weber and Mr. Schuette have 

 returned from the convention, and say 

 they had a great time and were finely 

 entertained by the Denver florists, 

 headed by Ex-President Valentine, of 

 the S. A. F. Messrs. Weber and Schuette 

 will have the assistance of the members 

 of the local Florists' Club in enter- 



taining the nurserymen at next year's 

 convention. 



It has been rumored about town that 

 a new wholesale supply house on a co- 

 operative plan, with profits divided 

 pro rata, will be organized. If the 

 plan goes through the new concern will 

 open early in the fall. 



Ernest Hentschel, of Webster Groves, 

 loft Saturday, June 25, for New York 

 city. He will sail next week for a 

 trip to Germany. He says he will re- 

 turn early in September. 



Kalisch Bros, will this summer put 

 their place in shape to grow only or- 

 chids for the local trade. Their first 

 attempt last year was successful. They 

 say they will double their amount of 

 plants for the coming season. 



The Diemer Floral Co., at South 

 Broadway, made a large floral bridge, 

 eight feet long, last week'' for the 

 bridgeworkers ' union, who lost a fel- 

 low member. The design was neatly 

 executed by Mrs. Diemer. 



There were great quantities of sweet 

 peas consigned to this market from 

 Kirkwood last week. It was estimated 

 that the growers combined sent in from 

 50,000 to 100,000 daily. The whole- 

 salers say that a great many of them 

 went to waste for want of demand; not 

 that the price was high, as the best 

 long-stemmed ones sold as low as $5 

 for 5,000 and short-stemmed ones lower 

 than that. 



The trustees of the Florists' Club are 

 hard at work preparing for the picnic 

 at Ramon a park. An effort will be 

 made to close all the retail stores for 

 that day. The wholesalers always do. 

 The trustees wish it understood that 



all florists, with their families, em- 

 ployees and those connected with the 

 trade, are invited to attend. The Flo- 

 rists' Club manages the affair and pays 

 ail expenses. The date is Thursday, 

 July 21. 



The sympathy of the trade was ex- 

 tended to August Eggert, of East St. 

 Louis, his sister, who recently came 

 from Germany, having died last week. 

 Sympathy was also extended to Robert 

 Grebe, of Clayton, whose wife died 

 iast week. Both funerals took place 

 Sunday, June 26. 



James Arata and Walter Young, of 

 C. Young & Sons Co., are off for a 

 week's fishing trip. .\s both are great 

 fishermen, the employees expect a fish- 

 frv on their return. 



A. W. Schisler, F. S. Plant and 

 .\dolph Corneli, the local delegation of 

 seedsmen who attended the meeting of 

 the American Seed Trade Association 

 held at Atlantic City last week, have 

 returned home much pleased and say 

 thev had a great time. 



The Florists' Club will hold an im- 

 portant meeting Thursday afternoon, 

 July 14, at 2 o'clock. The most im- 

 portant matters are the nomination of 

 oificers, the final vote on the bulletin 

 and the report for the picnic. A fea- 

 ture will be a paper bv Luther Arm- 

 strong on "W'hat the Club Was Or- 

 ganized For." Mr. Armstrong was the 

 club's first secretary twenty-three years 

 ago. A large attendance is looked for 

 at this meeting. J. J. B.
