Another Club Organized.

 in the United States. 



The purpose of this new organization 

 is to promote social fellowship among 



its members, encourage higher and bet-

 finding suitable positions for the mem-

More than twenty members have al-

 are expected at the next meeting, which 

 will take place March 4, at 3 {>. m., at 

 Kosciuszko park field house, located at

 gardeners residing outside of Chicago

 confident that through it much good can 



be accomplished for the advancement of 

 the profession and its members.
