honored the club with his presence, 

 bringing with him a cut bloom of his 

 new red rose — a red sport of Columbia 

 ■ — which first set in appearance in 1918. 

 Mr. Hill responded with an interesting 

 and witty speech. Many favorable 

 coments were regristered in favor of 

 the new red rose and it was a treat to 

 see and hear about Hill's new Red 

 Columbia which is considered a 

 winner.

The special attraction of the even- 

 ing was the presentation of the two 

 reel cinema "Wonderland under 

 Glass" by the American Greenhouse 

 Company of Chicago. This Interest- 

 ing and Instructive movie was shown 

 here for the first time in this country. 

 The audience was more than delighted 

 — it was a wonderful picture. 



Many types of greenhouses were re- 

 produced on the screen including ex- 

 terior and interior views of large and 

 small commercial establishments and 

 finally the reel was completed show- 

 ing an actual scene in a modem retail 

 flower store with greenhouses attached 



to same. The reel at its final turn 

 announced the national slogan "Say It 

 with Flowers". 



A rising vote of thanks was ex- 

 tended to the American Greenhouse 

 Company. Owing to the small attend- 

 ance, Mr. P. L. McKee, president was 

 requested to allow the Chicago Flor- 

 ists' Club to again present "Wonder- 

 land under Glass" at our May meeting 

 and he kindly consented to do so. 

 Tickets free of cost will be issued for 

 this occasion. Please make reservar 

 tion immediately. 



President Waters announced that 

 the Elks' National Convention will be 

 held in Chicago July 5 to 10 and it is 

 estimated that this convention will 

 bring over a quarter of a million 

 visitors to our city. The Elks are 

 planning to furnish 5.000 to 10.000 

 corsage bouquets during their conven- 

 tion and growers, as well as retailers, 

 therefore should prepare for this oc- 

 casion. Mr. Waters also reminded us 

 that the National Republican Conven- 

 tion which is also to be held in Chi- 

 cago in June should stimulate an 

 enormous demand for flowers and as 

 a reminder it is well that our growers 

 and retailers make preparations 

 early. 



The next regular meeting of the
