The St. Louis Horticultural Society 

 has mailed letters to all of its members 

 asking a mail vote as to whether they 

 desire the continuance of the society 

 or not, and a meeting later of the exec- 

 utive board will decide the question. 



Pierre Schneider, manager of the 

 Oakland Floral Co., at Kirkwood, had 

 a heavy pick of sweet peas and carna- 

 tions of extra fine quality for Easter 

 aud the crop has been heavy since. 

 C. A. Kuehn handles the output of this 

 <M)iiipany. 



W. J. Pilcher, of Kirkwood, has had 

 an exceptionally big season with his 

 Mazzura and Dorsett violets. The 

 Mazzuras, with their long stems and 

 fine flowers, always demanded the top 

 price among the violets. The W. C. 

 Smith Wholesale Floral Co. handled 

 them all. 



Geo. li. Angermueller says he had a 

 big Easter trade, with large consign- 

 ments of fine stock. He also had a big 

 run on prepared cycas leaves. 



Wm. C. Young, who has charge of the 

 greenhouse plant of C. Young & Sons 

 •'o., says they have been exceptionally 

 busy with orders of plants for ship- 

 ping. A visit to the plant, April 15, 

 found all hands busy packing. Even 

 young Charles, from the store, had 

 been pressed into service in the packing 

 shed. 



Considerable hail fell April 12 in St. 

 Louis and vicinity. Henry Aue lost 

 some glass. John Steinicke, at Old 

 Orchard, was the heaviest sufiferer. 

 Kirkwood and Webster Groves were 

 lucky, escaping with the loss of only a 

 few panes. 



Mrs. E. Dreiling, of Sorento, 111., 

 mother-in-law of Fred C. Weber, died 

 April 8. She was also the aunt of 

 Mrs, F..H. Weber. All of the family 

 attended the funeral, at which there 

 were a number of large floral designs. 

 The warm weather of last week 

 caused a great rush for the seed stores, 

 making it necessary to call in extra 

 help. The St. Louis Seed Co. and the

Schisler-Corneli Seed Co. had a great 

 run of trade all the week. At Young's 

 there was a great lot of mailing and 

 shipping orders to be filled, in both 

 seeds and plants. 



Arnold Scheidegger, of Kirkwood, 

 who has been quite ill at St. Mary's 

 hospital, has fully recovered and is at 

 home again. His many friends were 

 glad to see him in their companv again.

MONTGOMERY, ALA. 



Business throughout this season has 

 been fine. W. B. Paterson, of the 

 Rosemont Gardens, has kept up the 

 record of twenty per cent advance 

 month after month, in all lines. Fu- 

 neral work has been brisk and at times 

 there was a shortage of stock. The 

 bad weather, with only four bright 

 days in March, tended to keep stock 

 back. Mr. Paterson has reorganized 



his force. A. Jackman, formerly of 

 H. L. Von Trott's, has taken the posi- 

 tion of grower in the plant department 

 and W. C. Cook has taken charge of 

 the conservatory in the city and the 

 selling department in connection with it. 



Wallace Paterson, youngest son of 

 the proprietor of the Rosemont Gar- 

 dens, will be married April 25 to Miss 

 Alice Gay. Mr. Paterson is not slow, 

 by any means, and whether he will 

 be "Gayer" than ever remains to be 

 seen. 



Miss Laura Norris, formerly with H. 

 L. Von Trott, has started a stand in 

 the Exchange hotel and r^pori^s sales 

 good. At the Morning Yiew Green- 

 houses, of which Mr. Von Trott is pro- 

 prietor, an increase in business is re- 

 ported. W. C. C.
