 else in the same degree as you can and may at Randall's.

 in unlimited supply.

 at Randall's, ^^e're hea(^uarters for them. ^.^

ligible quantities. Bubrums, too, are 

 almost out. A few short-stemmed 

 sweet peas are arriving on the market, 

 and a scattering of violets, snap- 

 dragons and cosmos, but they afford no 

 relief. 



Soses alone, of all the various items 

 on the market, are in almost unlim- 

 ited supply. Were it not for the 

 scarcity of other items there would be 

 something approaching a glut of roses. 

 All varieties, however, have not been 

 equally plentiful. White roses have 

 been much more plentiful than pink. 

 Russell is never in excess of demand. 

 Beauties, too, in spite of increased sup- 

 ply, are clearing. Quality is better in 

 all kinds of stock. 



Smilax is so far on the short side 

 of the market that great difficulty is 

 experienced in securing even a small 

 amount. Other greens are moving in 

 a most satisfactory manner. 



Club Meeting. 



There was little time spent on pre- 

 liminaries at the meeting of the Flo- 

 rists' Club, October 5. Eoutine work 

 was rapidly dispatched and the busi- 

 ness of the evening tackled with a will. 

 Passing the punch bowl on to the next 

 meeting has become a part of tTie regu- 

 lar program, and was reenacted this 

 time owing to the fact that Andrew 

 Benson, its winner, was not present. 



C. W. Johnson, president of the Illi- 

 nois State Florists' Association, talked 

 interestingly on the subject of the fall 

 flower festival to be held by the asso- 

 ciation in Bloomington, November 9 

 and 10. He invited as many as could 

 to send exhibits, and urged on all the 

 duty of attending. Handbills of the 

 festival were distributed to those 

 present. 



George Asmus spoke on the work of 

 the F. T. D. and its session at the La 

 Salle hotel, October 11 and 12, and in- 

 vited everyone to make it his business 

 to attend. 



During the course of the evening 



THE STOCK THAT STANDS 



—that's the kind to buy, it's the kind to sell, it's the kind you get if 

 you trade in Quality Cuts. Flowers for fall, or any other season, must 

 be of a high standard of quality or Kennicott Bros. Co. won't try to 

 sell them. 



ROSES 



RUSSELLS CARNATIONS 



CHRYSANTHEMUMS 



AND all the seasonable flowers can be secured at Kennicott's. If 

 they're Kennicott's, then they are Quality Cuts; so, to be certain, order 

 from the House of Quality Plus.

MantloB Th» Brtow when jee wrl>^ 



Martin Amling and Emile Schnake, 

 both of Maywood, were elected to mem- 

 bership. The following filed applica- 

 tions: Peter Knowe, of Peter Knowe 

 & Son, Chamber of Commerce building; 

 Robert Windier, 6638 Bidge avenue; 

 A. L. Vaughan, 161 North Wabash 

 avenue. 



In deference to the Illinois State Flo- 

 rists ' Association the club voted to 

 postpone the next meeting till Novem- 

 ber 16, to avoid conflicting with the 

 association's festival. This postponed 

 meeting will be devoted to a chrysan- 

 themum and novelty show. In view 

 of his past successes as an organization 

 worker, Fred Lautenschlager, of the 



Kroeschell Bros. Co., was elected pub- 

 licity manager. This is assutance 

 enough that every florist in Cook county 

 will know all there is to be knowm 

 about the show in ample time to lend 

 a hand. This much can be stated defi- 

 nitely: Chrysanthemum seedlings will 

 be judged by the Chicago judges of the 

 Chrysanthemum Society of America, 

 N. J. Wietor, George Asmus and 

 Thomas W. Head. 



The meeting, though not large, 

 about forty being present when Presi- 

 dent Henderson called to order, was one 

 in which things moved with a snap. 

 Moreover, it had the great advantage 

 of being representative.
