better. Growers have again maneuvered 

 valley onto the short side of the market. 

 Potted Easter lilies have enjoyed a 

 splendid sale, but cut stock has not yet 

 become active. There is every indica- 

 tion of a large supply of lilies for 

 Easter, but they will probably average 

 shorter stems than they have in several 

 years, for practically all of them will 

 be giganteums, as Formosas are about 

 done for. Callas are moving fairly well, 

 considering the large supply. Cattleyas 

 continue scarce. A few warm days 

 would clear the market of violets, but 

 as it is they are hanging on, though 

 they have ceased to be a feature of the 

 market. 



Sweet peas still are in fair supply and 

 continue to experience a good demand. 

 Calendula, snapdragon and mignonette 

 are available in quantity. Daffodils are 

 not moving so well as they should. The 

 popular taste seems to be for jonquils 

 and these are moving nicely. Large 

 quantities of outdoor southern jonquils 

 are arriving, some too poor to sell. 

 Freesia is scarcely to be considered, it 

 is so nearly done for, A large propor- 

 tion of the tulips received seem to be 

 spotted and this does much to retard 

 their sale. The receipts of gladiodi are 

 rapidly increasing. A welcome harbinger 

 of spring, Spanish iris, has made its ap- 

 pearance. 



The supply of smilax continues short. 

 Other greens move, but not huriiedly. 



Club Meeting. 



The meeting of the Florists' Club 

 April 6, at the Morrison hotel, will 

 long be remembered by those present. 

 It was remarkable for the smallest at- 

 tendance of any meeting in more than 

 a year, but twenty-five being present, 

 and for the fact that of all the club's 

 officers, only the president and vice- 

 president were present. 



In the absence of the secretary. Pres- 

 ident Henderson requested James Mor- 

 ton to act in that capacity. But when 

 it came to appointing a temporary

treasurer, he expressed himself as being 

 fully capable of handling whatever 

 funds might come his way. As the raf- 

 fling of the silver punch bowl was 

 scheduled as the feature of the meet- 

 ing, all other matters were subordi- 

 nated. The man holding the winning 

 ticket was A. Bensen, of Downers 

 Grove. As Mr. Bensen was not present, 

 the club voted that the secretary notify 



him to appear at the next meeting to 

 receive the bowl. 



The only exhibit was a splendid vase 

 of twenty-five red carnations, seedling 

 No. 701, staged by Anton Then. Presi- 

 dent Henderson appointed A. T. Pyfer, 

 E. H. Meuret and Charles Blewitt to 

 act as judges. They scored the variety 

 eighty-eight points, and it was awarded 

 the club's certificate of merit.
