The Weekly Florists' Review, 



JANUARY 19. 1899. 



CHICAGO. 



The Market. 



Demand has very materially im- 

 proved, especially for shipping, and 

 there is a scarcity all along the line 

 except o£ colored carnations and vio- 

 lets. Of the last two there seem some 

 little more than enough, especially of 

 violets. Prices have stiffened gener- 

 ally, even hulb stock showing an im- 

 provement. White flowers are in 

 much the best demand and the short- 

 age in Bride roses and good white car- 

 nations is very marked. 



The dealers all feel that the market 

 has now struck a good steady gait 

 and that a good season is fairly open. 



Horticultural Society. 



The annual meeting of the Horti- 

 cultural Society of Chicago was held 

 at the Sherman House last Saturday 

 afternoon. 



The entire staff of officers was re- 

 elected as follows: Wm. H. Chad- 

 wick, Pres.; Edw. G. Uihlein, 1st Vice- 

 Pres.; H. G. Selfridge, 2nd Vice- 

 Pres.; E. Wienhoeber, 3d Vice-Pres.; 

 Wm. C. Egan, Sec'y; W. N. Rudd, 

 Ass't Sec'y and Treas. The entire 

 board of ten directors was re-elected, 

 and J. C. Vaughan. O. P. Bassett and 

 G. L. Grant were re-elected members 

 of the executive committee. 



Five new members were elected. 



The report of the treasurer showed 

 that the receipts for the year (includ- 

 ing old balance) were $8,230.66, and 

 expenditures $6,921.57, leaving a bal- 

 ance on hand of $1,309.09. Of the re- 

 ceipts $5,456.48 were received on ac- 

 count of the annual exhibition, the 

 expenses of which were $6,484.49, mak- 

 ing the exhibition account for last 

 year show a deficit of $1,028.01. Of 

 the exhibition receipts $3,427.00 was 

 from the box office, $1,532 from special 

 premiums and the remainder from 

 miscellaneous sources. The annual 

 ■ dues from members are now payable 

 and these will bring the credit bal- 

 ance up to about the same amount as 

 last year. 



F. J. Lemoyne and W. C. Egan were 

 appointed a committee to audit the ac- 

 counts of the treasurer. 



As an expression of appreciation of 

 the very valuable services of Mr. W. 

 N. Rudd as superintendent of the ex- 

 hibitions he was presented by the so- 

 ciety with a very handsome and valu- 

 able diamond ring. The presentation 

 was made by Vice-President Uihlein 

 In a short address which was feelingly 

 responded to by Mr. Rudd. 



There was some little discussion of 

 the project to secure the Auditorium 

 for the exhibition next fall, and the 

 executive committee was authorized 

 to secure it if the step seemed wise to 

 them. As the rent will probably be 

 not less than $3,500 for the week the 

 matter will be very carefully consid- 

 ered before definite action is taken. 

 It would be a grand place for the 

 show.
