nard, until recently with the W. C. Smith 

 Wholesale Floral Co., died Friday, Sep- 

 tember 10. Mr. Barnard took- her to 

 Denver a month ago, where he was em- 

 ployed by the Park Floral Co., her health 

 being so poor that he wished to return 

 home to her parents. Mr. Barnard was 

 well known among the local trade, who 

 extend their sympathy. The funeral took 

 place Sunday, September 12. 



A. Brix reports that during the storm 

 of Thursday, September 9, a great deal 

 of hail fell and broke several hundred 

 lights of glass at his Mead avenue plant. 



Rudolph Gross, of Kirkwood, has his 

 two new houses, 32x130, ready and 

 planted in violets and sweet peas. William 

 (1 Smith will handle his stock. 



Mrs. M. S. Myers, bookkeeper for G. 

 H. Angermueller, has resigned her posi- 

 tion and will, on Saturday, September 

 18, open a retail store at 921 North 

 Kingshighway. She bought all the fix- 

 tures of the Schlueter Floral Co., on St. 

 Louis avenue, wliich has retired from 

 business. 



The executive board of the St. Louis 

 Horticultural Society met Tuesday, Sep- 

 tember 7, at the new home of C. C. San- 

 ders, on Henly road. The meeting was 

 to perfect arrangements for the fall show 

 of the society, which will be held in the 

 new Coliseum. There were eight members 

 present — C. C. Sanders, Emil Schray, R. 

 Windt, George Windier, Otto Koenig, F. 

 H. Meinhardt, Harry Young and F. W. 

 Brockmann, the latter being the chair- 

 man of the board. After the meeting the 

 board was served with a dinner in the 

 large dining-room of the new, handsome 

 residence, which has just been completed. 



C. A. Kuehn and J. J. Beneke engaged 



in a special bowling match of six games 

 Friday night, September 10, at the new 

 Grand Central bowling alleys, which re- 

 sulted in a victory for C. A. Kuehn by 

 twenty-two pins. For bowling on new 

 alleys with new pins, the scores were all 

 good, being as follows:

The Market 



' ' Always something to do " is perliaps 

 tlie best way to describe the business of 

 the last two weeks, and the beauty of it 

 all is that there was fairly good stock to 

 do it with. Roses are especially fine, with 

 carnations coming along nicely. 



Asters are good, bad and worse, with 

 lionors about equally divided. 



Trip to Greenfield and Redford. 



A trip to Greenfield last week found 

 George Browne at work preparing his 

 carnations for planting. During his spare 

 moments our vice-president-elect is draw- 

 ing plans for the machines which are to 

 make the American carnation stake. Mr. 

 Browne says his stake will be on the 

 market surely next season. 



Thomas Browne had just commenced 

 planting his carnations, or rather he was 

 figuring how long it would take to set 

 the 30,000 plants his houses will hold. 

 He has land, land, and still some more 

 land, and about 100,000 carnation plants 

 try hard to cover it by growing large 

 and strong. A goodly share of the land 

 is devoted to Lawson, which Mr. Browne 

 says is hard to excel as a bread winner. 



Mention The Keview when you write. 



Only a few numis will come from here 

 this fall, as there are but few plants to 

 cut from. 



A visit was also paid Albert Stahelin, 

 T. Browne taking Mr. Skidelsky and your 

 scribe for a little spin in his auto. It 

 was necessary to call Mr. Stahelin away 

 from dinner, and still he wore his usual 

 smile. All the carnations are planted at 

 Stahelin 's, and look promising. The
