The first news of the death of Moses 

 Kice to reach the local trade came with 

 The Eeview Friday, and it was a great 

 shock to his many friends in the trade 

 here, who knew Mr. Bice well when, 

 only a few years back, he made regular 

 trips to this city. They are all with 

 me in expressing sympathy for the 

 widow and his business associates. 



A, G. Greiner, the noted cactus grower 

 at 4419 Natural Bridge road, has had a 

 splendid season so far in the shipping 

 of cactus plants. He is making prepara- 

 tions for his usual grand outdoor display 

 of cacti. 



The meeting of the Florists' Club 

 will take place on Thursday afternoon, 

 May 9, at 2 o'clock, in Odd Fellows' 

 hall. J. F. Ammann will lead a dis- 

 cussion on "Relations of the Whole- 

 saler, Grower and Retailer." Special 

 notices will be sent out by the secretary, 

 which will insure a large attendance of 

 the three branches of the business. 



Ray Young, son of Harry Young, of 

 the firm of H. Young & Son, was in an 

 automobile smash-up on Friday night, 

 April 26. The machine he was driving 

 belonged to his father and contained a 

 load of young folks coming from an 

 entertainment. No one was hurt, but 

 the machine was damaged to the extent 

 of $300. 



A meeting of the executive board of 

 the St. Louis Horticultural Society was 

 held last week at the oflBce of President 

 Mallinckrodt, with all the officers and 

 members of the board present. The 

 meeting was called to discuss the ques- 

 tion as to whether to continue or dis- 

 band the society. On taking a vote, it 

 was decided to disband and to pay back 

 all dues for 1912 to any who had al- 

 ready paid them. All outstanding bills 

 have been paid and the St. Louis Horti- 

 cultural Society passes into history. 

 Hence it goes without saying that no 

 fall flower show will be given this year. 

 Perhaps, after a few years' lay-oflf, the 

 St. Louis Florists' Club may again take 

 up the matter of holding a flower show.

BETUBBING BAYS AlH) PALMS. 



I have some standard bay trees tha€ 

 need retubbing. I moved them two 

 years ago into tubs that measure two 

 feet in diameter. Can I comb the soil 

 from them and put them back in the 

 same tubs again without injuring 

 themf I would rather do so than give 

 them larger tubs. I also have some 

 palms that need retubbing. Can I treat 

 them in the same way as I propose 

 treating the bays? J. J. 0. 



The bay trees can be taken out of 

 their tubs, if so desired, and the balls 

 of earth can be carefully picked over 

 with a sharp-pointed stick, loosening 

 the roots but injuring them as little 

 as possible. The tubs should be well 

 cleaned out and dry when the plants 

 are put back in them. Also see that 

 the drainage is perfect. Plants re- 

 tubbed as recently as two years ago 



should not be in urgent need of a shift. 

 Probably if you loosened some of the 

 surface soil, removed it and replaced 

 with a rich top-dressing, it would an- 

 swer equally well. 



The palms in tubs which are in need 

 of a shift should get it at once. Treat 

 them similarly to the bays, using ex- 

 treme care not to damage the roots. 

 In repotting or retubbing palms, see 

 that the soil is well packed around 

 the sides. This cannot be accomplished 

 by the hands alone. A potting stick 

 or rammer must be used. C. W.
