 sudden advance in the price of carna- 

 tions drove a great deal of trade away. 



Club Meeting. 



The May meeting of the St. Louis 

 Florists' Club was held Thursday after- 

 noon, May 8, in Odd Fellows' hall, but 

 was poorly attended, owing to the fact 

 that this is the busy planting month for 

 most of our regular attendants. When 

 President Weber opened the meeting 

 there were fifteen present. 



Chairman Ossick, of the trustees, re- 

 ported on the annual outing of the club 

 for July, and all the arrangements as 

 to place and date of the outing were 

 left in the hands of the club's trustees. 



A letter from President Farquhar, 

 of the S. A. F., was read, in which he 

 stated that he had appointed Edwin 

 Denker, of St. Charles, Mo., as state 

 vice-president for eastern Missouri. Mr. 

 Denker was present at the meeting. Dr. 

 Geo. T. Moore, director of the Missouri 

 , Botanic Garden, sent the club an invi- 

 tation to hold its June meeting at the 

 garden. The invitation was accepted 

 with thanks. Letters were also read 

 from the Cook County Florists' Associa- 

 tion and the Chicago Florists' Club, 

 inviting the members to travel on their 

 special to Minneapolis for the August 

 meeting of the 8. A. F. These invita- 

 tions were ordered turned over to State 

 Vice-President Edwin Denker, who has 

 the transportation in charge. 



Applications for membership were re- 

 ceived from Hugo M. SchaflP, head gar- 

 dener for the board of education, and 

 James F. Fox, of the Fox Clay Pottery 

 Co. Four delinquent members were 

 dropped from the rolls of membership. 



The question box brought out some 

 good discussions. The qtiery that 

 brought out the best argument was, 

 "Does the Selling of Plants and Flow- 

 ers by Department Stores Hurt the 

 Florists?" In this debate C. E. De 

 Wever took a leading part. 



The next meeting of the club will 

 take place on Thursday afternoon, June 

 12, at the Missouri Botanic Garden, 

 when a special effort will be made by 

 the officers of the club to bring out the 

 largest attendance of the year. 



County Club. 



The St. Louis County Plant and 

 Flower Growers' Association held its 

 first regular meeting at the Eleven Mile 

 House, in Kirkwood, on Wednesdav
