Frank Fillmore had recovered suffi- 

 ciently from his recent illness to attend 

 the Florists' Club meeting, Thursday,

 ing of the club. 



Those fine long - stemmed American 

 Beauties seen at C. A. Kuehn 's were con- 

 signments from A. C. Canfield at Spring- 

 field. The demand for these was, how- 

 ever, slow and prices down, 



George Waldbart was doing jury duty 

 all last week. He was called for Easter 

 week, but on a plea got a two weeks' 

 stay.

 to decorate the big Coliseum for the Met- 

 ropolitan grand opera season, April 25 

 to 27, A number of large plants will 

 also be used. 



Henry Aue, on Mardel avenue, is cut- 

 ting extra fine lily of the valley. It is 

 about the best seen in this market for 

 many seasons. His smilax crop has also 

 been a big success.

 Halstead, of Belleville; William Win- 

 ter, of Kirkwood, and J, F. Ammann, of 

 Edwardsville, were the out-of-town mem- 

 bers who attended the Florists' Club 

 meeting, Thursday afternoon, April 14. 



Julius Koenig has taken Charlie Full- 

 graf's place in the office of City For- 

 <'8ter Meyer, Mr. FuUgraf having re- 



signed recently to enter into business on 

 his own account. 



The big tulip beds at the Missouri 

 Botanical Garden were a great attrac- 

 tion this spring. All the big parks also 

 had attractive beds of tulips. 



The Evening Star is booming a green 

 carnation day for the florists for Thurs- 

 day, April 21, for Jack O'Connor day, 

 the new manager of the St. Louis 

 Browns, and opening day of the Amer- 

 ican League season in St. Louis.

 has issued its preliminary list for its

 meetings from now until show week.

 migration Commission, a wild flower 

 show May 24 and 25 at Arcadia, Mo. 

 The show will comprise every wild flower 

 that is indigenous to southeastern Mis- 

 souri, and prizes will be offered for col- 

 lections of the rarest flowers. Mrs. H. S. 

 Hadley, wife of Governor Hadley, will 

 head the committee on awards, 



Arthur Neyer has been added to the 

 force at C. A, Kuehn 's and will be a 

 great help to the firm during the morn- 

 ing rush.

 ladies with a reading on "Violets," 

 which was enjoyed by the members. 

 Suitable resolutions of condolence on 

 the death of Mrs, Vesey were presented 

 and accepted as part of the records of 

 the meeting, a copy being forwarded to 

 the Vesey family. After the meeting 

 the members enjoyed a game of bowl- 

 ing and a fine lunch was spread. The 

 next meeting of the circle will take place 

 at the same hall May 9, Any of our 

 lady florists wishing to join the circle
