 signed and erected to receive sub-

 L. K. Hohannon. Jr., who was dressed 

 as a miniature Incle Sam. The pro-

 $92.60. 



After the close of the Show, the U. 

 S. Naval Band was escorted to the La 

 Salle Hotel for dinner; and upon ar- 

 rival at the hotel, it was arranged for 

 the band to play a numl)er of patriotic 

 airs, and during this performance the 

 Florists" Club arranged for a small 

 flower sale. A special committee was 

 appointed as follows: Herman Schil- 

 ler, Wni. Wienhoeber. Kdward O'Nell. 

 A. G. Chronis. Wm. Kidwell. Mrs. .Mae 

 Bates. Miss Dorothy Thomas. Mrs. R. 

 E. Schiller and Mrs. \V. T. Hilliar. 

 Tlie proceeds of this sale amounted 

 to $125.35. Every one in the hotel pur- 

 chased a flower. It was a dellghtfiil 

 sight indeed to see the boutonniers 

 and corsages again so much in evi- 

 dence on this occasion. 



The committee in charge herewith 

 extends their heartiest thanks and sin- 

 cere appreciation on behalf of the 

 Chicago Florists' Club to all who so

A CORRECTION. 

 In sending in my report to the Publi- 

 city Committee 1 failed to mention 

 that it was to be totaled as a contribu- 

 tion from the Lancaster County Flor- 

 ists' Association and that while I was 

 instrumental in starting it the credit 

 belongs to the Association and we ex- 

 pect to have the amount increased con- 

 siderable before .Tan. 1st.

The flower show held in the High 

 school, Dobbs Ferry, N. Y., on Friday 

 and Saturday of last week, under the 

 auspices of the local Horticultural so- 

 ciety, was a big success and as a result 

 several hundreds of dollars were real- 

 ized for the benefit of the Red Cross. 

 The Hudson River Garden league, in 

 conjunction with the Horticultural so- 

 ciety staged the show. The judges 

 were Louis A. Martin, of Irvington; 

 Howard Nichols, of Yonkers, and 

 Joseph Mooney, of Hastings.
