CHICAGO NOTES. 

 Action by the Flower Trade. 



Chicago florists are making strenu- 

 ous efforis to liave the action talten 

 liy the board o£ education, three years 

 ago rescinded. 



The school board under the influence 

 of Superintendent Cooley at that time 

 l)lacert an embargo on the giving of 

 cut flowers to the graduates of the 

 Chicago High .Schools. This was a se- 

 rious matter to the florist trade and 

 the action was not submitted to grace- 

 fully, each year bringing it up afresh, 

 but the board remained firm. 



This year the matter has taken on a 

 new aspect inasmuch as President 

 Cooley is no longer in Chicago, having 

 resigned his position during the early 

 spring. At a meeting of the represen- 

 tative florists at Amling's Friday 

 evening, a committee was appointed 

 to confer with the school board at 

 their next open meeting, June 16th. 

 The committee represents the whole- 

 sale as well as the retail trade and con- 

 sists of eleven members, as follows: 

 F. F. Benthey, A. C. Amling, Phil.

General News. 



In the many new greenhouses now 

 being erected in and about Chicago 

 cement posts are quite generally used, 

 ilany florists are also trying the ce- 

 ment benches, and the results so far 

 have been on the whole quite satis- 

 factory. According to the E. H. Hunt 

 Co., which specializes in this line, there 

 is a saving in first cost of 25 per cent. 

 They have a valuable little booklet out 

 on this subject, free for the asking, and 

 many dollars are to be saved by the 

 man who reads it carefully. 



Incongruous, as it at first appears, it 

 is a move in the right direction to 

 have the unoccupied places in the Chi- 

 cago stock yards embellished with 

 flower beds and clumps of shrubbery. 

 The planting began around the oflBce. 

 but has spread to the various parts of 

 the grounds, and though for the ben- 

 efit of the visitors it is to be expected 

 that the workers in this gruesome 

 place will appreciate the touch of 

 beauty. 



The pansy season is very backward. 

 The cut flowers were not satisfactory 

 this year and now the cold weather 

 is greatly retarding the outdoor stock.
