The Weekly Florists' Review*

of them. Lilies and all other bulb 

 stock are plentiful. 



Kirkwood growers last week loaded 

 this market with sweet peas, carnations 

 and violets. All four wholesale houses 

 received their share from these grow- 

 ers. These large consignments had to 

 be disposed of and prices kept going 

 down to almost nothing. 

 Club Meeting. 



The St. Louis Florists' Club held its 

 regular monthly meeting on Thursday 

 afternoon, April 11, in Odd Fellows' 

 hall. The meeting was poorly attended, 

 owing to the fact that many were too 

 busy with planting. When President 

 Windier called the meeting to order 

 there were only fourteen present. 



The trustees reported that the last 

 exhibition of the club, held at Kuehn's 

 wholesale house, was a big success, and 

 they advised that the club give another 

 exhibition in the fall and one in mid- 

 winter. A vote of thanks was extended 

 to C. A. Kuehn for the use of his show 

 room for the exhibition. All other 

 business of importance was laid over 

 until the May meeting, when a larger 

 attendance is expected. 



Treasurer Smith reported that the 

 club 's finances were in a healthy con- 

 dition. 



E, W. Guy, of Belleville, was pres- 

 ent and was requested to lead a discus- 

 sion on ' ' Summer Cut Flowers, ' ' which 

 was much enjoyed. Messrs. Sander, 

 Fillmore, Pilcher, Windier, Bergster- 

 mann and Ogle took part in the dis- 

 cussion and some interesting facts were 

 brought out during the hours of talk. 



The president announced that at the 

 May meeting J. F. Ammann, of Ed- 

 wardsville, would lead a discussion on 

 ^'Eelations of the Wholesaler, Eetailer 

 and Grower." In this he will be as- 

 sisted by A. S. Halstead for the 

 grower, Otto Sander for the retailer 

 and William C. Smith for the whole- 

 saler. This promises to be one of the 

 most interesting discussions on the pro- 

 gram and the men selected for the 

 purpose know well how to talk on 

 these points. This meeting will take 

 place on Thursday afternoon. May 9, 

 at 2 o 'clock, and a request will be sent 

 out to all the members to make ar- 

 rangements to be present at this 

 meeting. 



Various Notes. 



The Missouri Botanical Garden, bet- 

 ter known the world over as Shaw's 

 Garden, will open its gates to the pub- 

 lic every Sunday from 2 p. m. to sunset. 

 It was so decided by the directors of 

 the garden at a meeting held early in 

 the week. F. N. Judson, attorney for 

 the trustees, returned an opinion that 

 the sense of the will of the late Henry 

 Shaw would not be violated by having 

 the garden open on Sundays other than 

 the two specified by Mr. Shaw, whose 

 purpose in closing the garden on Sun- 

 days was to insure his employees one 

 day of rest each week, and the will 

 apparently does not forbid Sunday 

 opening with provisions made for extra 



help. 



Kester Halstead was elected alder- 

 ' man at Belleville, 111., last week. Mr. 

 Halstead is the son of A, S. Halstead, 

 president of the St. Clair Floral Co. 

 and ex-mayor of Belleville. The young 

 man also is interested in the St. Clair 

 Floral Co. and is well known to local 

 members of the trade, who were all 

 pleased at his success.
