Mrs. Fred H. Meinhardt, who has 

 been seriously ill for the last ten days, 

 is reported out of danger and will soon 

 be up and about again. 



GuUett & Sons, of Lincoln, 111., made 

 quite a large shipment of cyclamen and 

 azaleas to the trade here and they ar- 

 rived in splendid shape. 



At a recent meeting of the executive 

 board of the St. Louis Horticultural 

 Society, it was learned that the loss of 

 the last show would reach $1,500, and 

 that the chances for a show next year 

 are decidedly slim. 



Otto Sander, who came into posses- 

 sion of the vase of St. Nicholas carna- 

 tions after the meeting, claimed that 

 they looked much better the next day 

 and says he thinks it is one of the best 

 reds for the retail trade. Mr. Sander 

 has a most attractive Christmas window 

 decoration. 



George Waldbart's place on Grand 

 avenue last week had one of the grand- 

 est poinsettia plant displays ever seen 

 here. Mr. "Waldbart says he expects a 

 large business for Christmas. 



C. A. Kuehn's new store is fast shap- 

 ing itself and at the opening, December 

 13, the visiting trade who had not seen 

 it were all surprised at the admirable 

 arrangements and conveniences for the 

 buyers. 



President Eobert J. Windier, of the 

 Florists' Club, says that after New 

 Year's he will call an oflScers' meeting 

 and lay out a program of essays and 

 discussions for each meeting till the end 

 of his term in August. 



Fred H. "Weber and the Ellison Floral 

 Co. say they had quite a good deal of 

 party work and dinners during last 

 week and are looking for a big rush of 

 business for this week. J. J. B.
