A heavy hail storm passed over this 

 city Sunday morning, June 16. Like 

 most such storms, it was much worse in 

 some places than in others, some florists 

 suffering heavy losses, while others es- 

 caped with only a few panes of glass 

 broken. 



The Williams & Clark Floral Co. was 

 the hardest hit, losing almost all of 

 25,000 square feet of glass. Mrs. Geo. 

 P- Miller lost nearly two-thirds of her 

 glass and was without insurance. The 

 Muncie Floral Co. lost about one-third 

 of Its glass. The rest of the florists in 

 the town all lost a few panes but nothing 

 of consequence. The hail was extremely 

 'arge and where it was the heaviest 

 nothing could stand under it.

The Market. 



There was considerable activity in 

 |ne wholesale market the first part of 

 last week, as the retailers were all busy 

 Y'^h weddings and school work, but 

 'uring the last few days the market 

 jjfafj'ged somewhat and stock of all 

 ^inds was in greater supply than the 

 demand could use up.

all varieties at low prices. Local grow- 

 ers are short on carnations, having 

 pulled out the old stock, but those be- 

 ing shipped in are excellent and suffi- 

 cient to meet the demand. 



Sweet peas have been a glut all the 

 week and fine long stems are down to $3 

 per thousand. Gladioli sell well and there 

 are plenty of them. Valley sold well 

 all the week and asters are coming more 

 freely. These, with a lot of outdoor 

 stock, make up the daily market. 



Club Meeting. 



The Florists' Club held an interest- 

 ing meeting Thursday afternoon, June 

 13, with a fairly good attendance. Ow- 

 ing to the unavoidable absence of Pres- 

 ident R. J. Windier, Vice-president 

 Frank Vennemann took charge. 



E. W. Guy reported the trustees as 

 favoring either Normandy Grove, in 

 St. Louis county, or Preister's Park, 

 near Belleville, for the annual picnic. 

 Upon a vote of the club it was decided 

 to hold the picnic this year at Preister's 

 Park, Wednesday, July 17. William 

 Ossick and Charles Young were ap- 

 pointed to assist the trustees in making 

 final arrangements.

was appointed to draw up resolutions 

 on the death of Charles A. Juengel. 

 This was done, one copy being spread 

 upon the minutes of the club, a dupli- 

 cate being sent to the bereaved family. 

 A letter was read from the New York 

 Florists' Club asking for the appoint- 

 ment of a committee to cooperate with 

 their committee at the S. A. F. meeting 

 on proper publicity channels for the va- 

 rious special flower days throughout the 

 year, and the president was instructed 

 to appoint a committee of three for 

 this purpose. Those chosen were: J. F.
