Address all communications to E. C. 

 Toepel, Sec'y, Chicago Florists' Club, 

 Morton Grove, 111. 



The Chicago Florists' Club held its 

 regular meeting at the Union Restau- 

 rant, Thursday evening, April 10. 



The transportation committee made 

 a report recommending that the Chi- 

 cago Great Western R. R. be selected 

 as the official route to S. A. F. con- 

 vention at Minneapolis, Minn., next 

 August. Their recommendation was 

 adopted by a vote of the club, and the 

 Great Western R. R. was selected. The 

 transportation committee will make 

 all the necessary arrangement for the 

 pleasure and comfort of those going 

 with the Chicago Florists' Club. They 

 have arranged for an all-steel Pull- 

 man-equipped special train with all 

 modern conveniences, and a large elec- 

 tric sign, reading "The Chicago Flor- 

 ists' Club Special." The Chicago Flor- 

 ists' Club invites all florists going to 

 Minneapolis via Chicago to make ar- 

 rangements to go with them from Chi- 

 cago on their special train. 



F. W. Muncie, physiological chemist 

 in charge of floricultural fertility in- 

 vestigations at the experiment station 

 of the University of Illinois, gave a 

 very interesting talk about fertilizers, 

 and answered numerous questions at 

 the close of his remarks. 



Edward C. Toepel, bookkeeper at 

 Poehlmann Bros Co.'s Morton Grove 

 office, was unanimously elected secre- 

 tary to fill the vacancy caused by the 

 resignation of Wilder S. Deamud, who 

 has left Chicago and is now located at 

 Bay City, Mich. Vaughan's Seed Store 

 showed a bunch of Cannas-cut flowers 

 — two varieties. Fire Bird, a very 

 bright red, the only one of its color 

 having green foliage. Carl Lutz, a pure 

 bright yellow without any spots.
