mand, white carnations took a jump 

 March 10 and continued to bring high 

 prices during the present week. The 

 supply of carnations, though by no 

 means unusually large, is about suffi- 

 cient to meet the demand at the price. 

 It has been noted with satisfaction by 

 the wholesalers that the percentage of 

 splits now being received is compara- 

 tively small. 



Though plentiful, violets are moving 

 with exasperating slowness. Jonquils 

 continue to clear. Tulips are in shorter 

 supply and are moved without difficulty. 

 Freesia, however,, does not move as rap- 

 idly as one would like. Sweet peas are 

 still a lead item and much excellent, 

 long-stemmed stock is offered. It might 

 sell better. Valley is again equal to 

 the demand. Pansies, calendulas, snap- 

 dragons, mignonette and daisies are 

 available, but there is no great clamor 

 for them. Easter lilies are inclining 

 to the short side of the market and are 

 clearing accordingly. Cattleyas are 

 equal to the daily requirements. 



Of greens, adiantum and smilax are 

 alone on the short side. The call for 

 decorative stock is keeping pace with 

 the general demand. 



Club Meeting. 



The Chicago Florists' Club seldom 

 has had a more interesting meeting 

 than that of March 9, for which the 

 sixty or seventy members present are 

 indebted to H. N. Tolles, of the Shel- 

 don organization. Mr. Tolles talked 

 for more than an hour, discussing mod- 

 ern methods of reaching results in busi- 

 ness. Summing up, he said success fol- 

 lows in proportion as one knows him- 

 self, knows his business, knows human 

 nature and applies what one knows. 

 One bit of advice worth a larger 

 audience was that, in making an ap- 

 peal to vanity, the speaker or writer 

 should use "soft soap" sparingly, 

 "for," said Mr. Tolles, "almost every- 

 one knows soft soap is nine-tenths lye, 

 and lies have no place in business." 



The address was so well liked that 

 a bid was made for a lecturer from 

 the Sheldon organization to give a spe- 

 cial course for a fee, the series being 

 open to club members only. Something 

 more may be heard of it later.

You seldom see the House of Kennicott quoting prices on any- 

 thing. Because few could appreciate how really low our 

 prices are till they see our stock. 



Now, however, for a short time, we are able to make you a 

 special offer on Spencers. You know our Butterflies. We can 

 give you any quantity of those huge' bunches of long-stemmed 

 fellows: —

When President Henderson asked 

 those to rise who will go to Phila- 

 delphia on the club's special car March 

 25, only two stood up, Emil Beichling, 



of Peter Reinberg's, and W. J. Keimel, 

 of Wendland & Keimel Co., but it is 

 known a half dozen others already 

 have decided on the trip. It was stated
