The Weekly iriorists* Review.

CHICAGO. 



Trade Conditions. 



There has been a shorteiiinj,' of .supply 

 and a slight increase in demand- Nearly 

 all the growers seem to be olf crop, and 

 if the demand shoidd turn very brisk 

 the shortage would be serious. As it is, 

 all stock of fair quality meets with ready 

 sale, and in roses there is very little high 

 grade stock to be had. .A.!! seem much 

 encouraged over the outlook and feel 

 that by the time the supply increases 

 there will be demand enough to use up 

 the cut at fair prices. 



Kennicott Bro.'sCo. expect to soon be- 

 gin receiving the annual cut of fancy 

 pink tulips from Klehm's Nurseries. 

 They are growing yo.cxio bulbs tliis year 

 and it is hoped the supply will more 

 nearly equal the demand than in the past. 

 Kennicott Bro.'s Co. will handle the lot. 



Club Entertainment. 



The Florist Club's entertainment last 

 Thursday evening was a very enjoyable 

 affair. The program as printed in last 

 issue was carried out with but two excep- 

 tions. For No. 5 a song by the club 

 quartette was substituted, owing to Miss 

 Blumenthal's illness. Miss Wolf was also 

 unable to be present, and Mr. Flint Ken- 

 nicott was called upon to fill the num- 

 ber. He responded by calling upon his 

 daughter Grace, a miss of fourteen years, 

 who recited "Shamus O'Brien" in a way 

 that took the audience In- storm. Every 

 number on the program called forth a 

 storm of applause, and, owing to the 

 nnmerous recalls, the program was really 

 doubled in length. "Ladies' Night" was 

 certainly an exceedingly pleasant one. 

 Program for Next Meeting. 



At the next meeting of the club, January 

 27, Mr. Joseph Reeve will read a paper 

 on " Pot Plants for Market," and in view 

 of the con,stantly increasing demand for 

 good flowering plants at the holidays, the 

 subject is a very timely one. In addition 

 to above Mr. Geo. Stollery will tell the 

 club about the pot plants grown for the 

 eastern markets, and which he noted on 

 his recent trip. 



The Coming Convention. 



Last Saturday there was a meeting of 

 the committee in charge of arrangements 

 for the coming convention of the Ameri- 

 can Carnation Society. Steps were taken 

 looking to the securing of suitable space 

 for the meeting and the exhibition, the 

 providing of vases, tables, attendants, 

 etc. A banquet was decided upon as the 

 form of entertaiimient. An excellent 

 start toward a sufficient fund was made at 

 the committee meeting, and work will 

 now go rapidly forward. 



, Visitors. 



Among recent visitors was Mr. Reed, of 

 McPherson & Reed, Council Bluffs, la. 



Mr. C. C. Pollworth, of Ellis & Poll- 

 worth, Milwaukee, was in the city last 

 Wednesday. 



St. Paul, Minn.— The state of Minne- 

 sota pays a bounty of ^2.50 an acre for 

 tree planting, and the state auditor re- 

 centl}' issued 3,000 warrants aggregating 

 {J20,ooo to various planters of trees.
