 back at work this week. 



The Missouri Botanical Garden will 

 again hold a fall chrysanthemum show 

 at the garden this season. The show 

 will open after the big flower show in 

 the Coliseum is ended. 



J. F. Ammann and Henry Johann 

 have now taken charge of the store in 

 East St. Louis, 111., which they recently 

 bought from Miss M. Schnell. 



C. Young & Sons Co. says that the 

 fall bulb trade has been fully up to 

 expectations. The plant business also 

 has been good, with plenty of funeral 

 work in the cut flower department. 



The St. Louis Horticultural Society 

 is sending out the official programs for 

 its show, which starts Tuesday, Novem- 

 ber 8. The executive board held a 

 meeting October 18, at which final ar- 

 rangements were made. It is reported 

 that there are now quite a few entries 

 for the three $500 prizes, one each for 

 roses, carnations and mums, and a big 

 showing in these classes is expected. 



C. A. Kuehn has been receiving large 

 consignments of fancy carnations, roses 

 and early mums, but George Schriefer, 

 of the cut flower department, says that 

 even the best stock moved slowly. 



A. Jablonsky, of Olivette, and Wm. 

 Winter, of Kirkwood, have been con- 

 signing some extra good stock in roses 

 and carnations to H. G. Berning, and 

 expect to have a big crop all season. 



The Riessen Floral Co., on South 

 Broadway, is just putting on the finish- 

 ing touches in its interior decorations. 

 Mrs. Buechel says trade was slow last 

 week, but with cooler weather a good 

 business season is looked for. 



Miss May Burns has taken a position 

 with Miss M. S. Newman at Olive and 

 Spring streets. Miss Newman 's win- 

 dow displays are always attractive. 



The W. C. Smith Wholesale^ Floral 

 Co. has now completed its improve- 

 ments. 



J. F. Windt's show house on Bayard 

 avenue is looking fine these days with 

 blooming plants and fancy cut stock. 



The pretty window displays of Otto 

 Sanders, Foster Floral Co., Eiessen Flo- 

 ral Co. and A. Siegel, attract a great 

 deal of attention, the main displays 

 being chrysanthemum blooms.
