The wholesalers are making ar- 

 rangements to close at 5 p. m. during 

 July and August. 



Club Meeting. 



At the last meeting of the Florists' 

 Club the committee on transportation 

 to Detroit reported progress and stat- 

 ed that final arrangements would be 

 announced later. One new member 

 was elected. President Sanders re- 

 ported that he had presented the nur- 

 serymen with a suitable floral display 

 and that the association had passed 

 a vote of thanks to the club for its 

 courtesy. 



The paper on "Bulb Growing in the 

 State of Washington" was read by Mr. 

 Andreas Simon and was listened to 

 with close atttention. The paper 

 brought out a few questions by mem- 

 bers, which were answered by the es- 

 sayist. A vote of thanks was ten- 

 dered Mr. Simon. 



It was decided to take the usual 

 summer vacation and the officers were 

 instructed to arrange for a number 

 of outings during that period. One 

 of these will probably take the form 

 of a picnic and this is now being con- 

 sidered by a committee. 



Various Items. 



Wm. Ellison, of St. Louis, was a 

 recent visitor. Mr. Currie, of Mil- 

 waukee, was also a caller and while 

 here made arrangements for a supply 

 of flowers during the coming celebra- 

 tion at Milwaukee. 



J. Austin Shaw is again with us.
