Herrington, of Madison, N. J., who ad- 

 dressed the club on the subject of the 

 flower show to be held in Pittsburgh 

 next June, under the auspices of the 

 Garden Club, As Mr. Herrington is to 

 be manager of this show, his talk was 

 fraught with much interest. He took 

 occasion to distribute a preliminary 

 premium list. 



A communication from the Vegetable 

 Growers' Association of America was 

 read, in which it asked the support 

 of members of the club in the matter 

 of volunteering automobiles for the en- 

 tertainment of visiting gardeners Sep- 

 tember 27, The association expects to 

 entertain a large number, including 

 local and visiting gardeners. The en- 

 tertainment will comprise an automo- 

 bile trip about Chicago and vicinity, 

 with a chicken dinner at the Wayside 

 Inn, Morton Grove. A committee to 

 handle the matter of supplying automo- 

 biles was appointed, composed of Fred 

 Lautenschlager, chairman; E. F. 

 Kurowski and P, J, Foley. 



The question of entering a team in 



the Mercantile Bowling League was 

 discussed briefly. The chief difficulty 

 seemed to be the scarcity of bowlers. 



During the course of the evening 

 Martin Amling and Emil Schnake, both 

 of Maywood, filed application for mem- 

 bership. 



An important announcement of the 

 meeting was that of the birth of Paul 

 Klingsporn, Jr., son of Treasurer 

 Klingsporn, not many hours preceding 

 the meeting. 



Niles Township. 



A pictorial town book by E, Palma 

 Beaudette appeared last week, devoted 

 to Niles Center, Morton Grove, Niles 

 village and Tessville, all in Niles town- 

 ship. As is quite natural considering 

 the extent of the greenhouse industry 

 in the township, florists occupy a con- 

 spicuous place in the book. Among 

 those who are written up, August Poehl- 

 mann is president of the village of Mor- 

 ton Grove and Adolph Poehlmann is 

 police magistrate. In the write-up of 

 the Poehlmann plant several interesting 

 notes are found. For instance: 



"The splendid cooperation, honesty 

 and trust in each other of this remark- 

 able family is exhibited again in their 

 intention to take on the younger gen- 

 eration as soon as they are capable and 

 show their ability. There are five boys 

 now in line as successors. It is sin- 

 cerely hoped that these young men will 

 prove as capable and energetic as their 

 fathers before them," 



"There are eight miles of green- 

 houses twenty-seven feet wide; 300 to 

 400 men are constantly employed; the 

 payroll last year was $245,000;" 



"The yearly consumption of coal 

 amounts to 135,000 tons," 



There are write-ups of many other 

 florists, numerous florists' ads and many 

 other interesting things in the book. 



Various Notes, 



It is announced that September 16 

 Joseph Marks, well known to florists 

 over a large section of the country as 

 the representative of the Arnold Paper 

 Box Co., will join the forces of A. Hen- 

 derson & Co. Mr. Marks will start next
