The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



NOVEMBEB 4, 1900. 



cut in all shapes, together with cut flow- 

 ers and plants. The display was attract- 

 ive and much admired. 



The Eiessen Floral Co., on South 

 Broadway, had a good run of trade of 

 late, and was kept busy by President 

 Taft's recent visit. 



George Ostertag was acting park com- 

 missioner last week, as Park Commis- 

 sioner Scanlan was away with the mem- 

 bers of the board of public improvements 

 on their trip down the river with Presi- 

 dent Taft. 



Miss T, Meinhardt, president of the 

 Ladies' Society of American Florists, 

 says the St. Louis ladies of the society 

 will entertain all visiting lady florists 

 during show week with a theater party. 



The Florists' Club's trustees, Messrs. 

 Bentzen, Ostertag and Schoenle, are 

 making big preparations for the enter- 

 tainment of visiting florists during next 

 week's flower show. 



Harry Young, of the firm of C. Young 

 & Sons Co., has the sympathy of the 

 trade in the loss of his oldest son, 

 Wheeler H. The young man was 19 

 years of age, and sick only a few days. 

 The funeral, which was private, took 

 place Saturday, October 30, from the 

 family residence, 5511 Waterman avenue. 



Walter Sanders, who was recently mar- 

 ried, left for Pecos, Tex., a week ago for 

 his health, and may remain there. His 

 young wife will follow next week. He 

 takes with him the best wishes of all in 

 the trade, and the hopes that he will be 

 successful wherever he locates. 



Next week is flower show week here, 

 and the members of the executive board 

 of the St. Louis Horticultural Society 

 are busy arranging every detail so as to 

 be ready for the opening night, Tuesday, 

 November 9. As the show is going to be 

 held in the big arena of the Coliseum 

 this year, a great amount of work will 

 have to be accomplished between now 

 and the opening day. Now that the 

 society and the club are working in 

 harmony, a grand success is promised. 



Our wholesalers, C. A. Kuehn, H. G. 

 Berning, W. C. Smith and George Anger- 

 mueller, say all visiting florists during 

 show week should make their headquar- 

 ters at their places, and all will be taken 

 care of. 



The members of the Florists' Club 

 should not forget that Thursday after- 

 noon, November 11, the club will hold 

 what is called an all-together meeting in 

 Odd Fellows' hall at 2 o'clock. J. F. 

 Ammann will read an interesting paper, 

 and a large number of visitors attending 

 the flower show will be present at the 

 meeting. After the meeting, a smoker 

 with refreshments will be held at a 

 nearby cafe, from which the party will 

 go in a body to visit the flower show in 

 the Coliseum. J. J. B. 



An involuntary petition in bankruptcy 

 against the Michel Plant & Bulb Co. 

 was filed October 25 in the United States 

 District Court. The petitioners are Leo 

 Rassieur, who has a claim of $500; Eu- 

 gene H. Michel, $709; Louis Wolgast, 

 $150, and several smaller creditors. They 

 allege the firm admitted in writing its 

 inability to meet its obligations and its 

 willingness to be adjudged bankrupt. 



Will all members of Ladies' S. A. F. 

 and other visiting ladies at the St. Louis 

 flower show come to Miss M. Meinhardt 

 at the Coliseum building, Tuesday, No- 

 vember 9, 2 to 5 and 7 to 9 p. m., as she 

 wishes their names?
