 Store, Ralph B. Howe of W. W. Bar- 

 nard Company, John Begnan of A. 

 Henderson & Company, Everette R.

 Company. 



Mr. Morton, speaking for his com- 

 mittee, stated that more than 175,000 

 Hi-Cost-of-Living Gardens will be 

 started in Chicago the coming spring. 

 This committee has laid plans to co- 

 operate with local garden clubs and 

 school gardens in an advisory capacity 

 to advance an Interest in horticulture 

 — ^booklets on garden work will be dis- 

 tributed — an appropriation of $100 was 

 voted for the use of this committee. 



President Waters demonstrated the 



latest methods of coloring cut flowers 



as iipplied so extensively to St. 



PatiickiS Day requirements. "Tim" is 



an expert in this line and some unique 



color combinations were shown during 

 the evening. It developed that the 

 March 17th green was the quickest 

 color to show its effect, approximately 

 30 minutes being required. 



The Joy Floral Company of Nash- 

 ville, Tenn., sent a very fine exhibit of 

 seedling carnations and A. Kirchner of 

 Defiance, Ohio, furnished some blooms 

 of his Pink Sport of Enchantress Su- 

 preme. Unfortunately both exhibits 

 were overtaken by the blizzard while 

 in transit and consequently same 

 reached us in bad condition. 



An invitation was extended to these 

 parties to send another display for the 

 next meeting. 



Secretary Lautenschlager explained 

 the new coal ordinance which was re- 

 cently passed by the city council of 

 Chicago. This ordinance was prima- 

 rily drafted to regulate the resale of 

 coal. Owing to the omission of the 

 words "For Re-sale" all industries pur- 

 chasing coal in carload lots would be 

 required to take out a license of $1500. 



The Chicago Florists' Club and 

 other Industrial Organizations entered 

 a strenuous protest against this ordi- 

 nance and it was requested that same 

 be repealed or amended at once to 

 exclude florists and all industries 

 obliged to purchase coal In carload 

 lots as consumers of same. From all 

 Indications this request will be carried 

 out in the very near future, as the act 

 will surely be declared unconstitu- 

 tional as it stands at present. 



Mr. Joseph Kohout, president of the 

 Commercial Flower Growers of Chi- 

 cago, now known as Local 1 of the 

 National Association was scheduled to 

 present a report in behalf of this or- 

 ganization. Owing to inability of Mr. 

 Kohout to attend our meeting his re- 

 port will be presented at the next 

 meeting. 



The next meeting of the Chicago 

 Florists' Club will be held at the Ran- 

 dolph Hotel, Thursday, April 8th, at 

 8 p. m.
