Florists' Club was held on the evening 

 of October 4, at the Briggs House. 

 The attendance was small, so small, in 

 fact, that it was considered inadvisable 

 to lay before the club many questions 

 of greatest importance, but rather to 

 hold these over until the next meeting, 

 when more members will be present, it 

 is hoped. 



In the absence of both President 

 Amling, who is still at Battle Creek, 

 suffering from pernicious ana?mia, and 

 Vice-President Klingsporn, who was at 

 Detroit, W. J. Keimel was elected chair- 

 man. Immediately upon Mr. Keimel 's 

 taking the cliair, Anton Then arose and 

 presented to him, for the Chicago Flo- 

 rists' Club, a gavel which he himself had 

 made of wild smilax roots cut at Mag- 

 nolia Springs, Ala. A letter w^as read 

 from the Horticultural Society of New 

 York, calling attention to tlie great 

 devastation of orcliards in France and 

 asking for cooperation in raising a fund 

 to help replant those grounds. The 

 matter was laid on the table until the 

 next meeting. A motion was made and 

 passed that all members of the club 

 serving under tlie flag should be re- 

 tained on the membershi]) list until 

 their return or discharge from tlie 

 service. 



Robert C. Kerr, president of the 

 S. A. F., wlio was in Cliicago on his way 

 home to Texas from the F. T. D. con- 

 vention, spoke on the great publicity 

 fund the S. A. F. is raising and called 

 u])on Chicago to take its riglitful place 

 at the head of the list of subscriptions. 

 ' ' But do not look upon this as a 

 gratuity," he concluded, "but as the 

 best investment you ever made." 



T. J. Wolfe, of Waco, Tex., president 

 of the Texas State Florists' Associa- 

 tion, also spoke, following which Mr. 

 Kerr, and T. E. Waters, of Poehlmann 

 Bros. Co., gave tlieir impressions of the 

 recent F. T. D. meeting at Detroit. 



A letter was read from Thomas W. 

 Head, concerning tlie National Associa- 



F. T. D.

Wholesale Way 



is in line with present needs of 

 the out-of-town retail Florists. 



It's cheaper to buy cut flowers in the world's greatest 

 cut flower market than it is for you to grow them — 



Our stock — our equipment — our organization — is an 

 assurance of satisfaction to those who patronize us —

tion of Gardeners' convention which 

 will be held at the Slierman House, De- 

 cember 4 to 6, and inviting florists to 

 exhibit there. 



It was voted tliat as an indication 

 of the club's sympathy, the secretary 

 send a basket of flowers and fruit to 

 President Amling, with tlie club's best 

 wishes. 



Applications for membership were re- 

 ceived from Cliris. Kanuni, 171-4 Foster 

 avenue, and Joseph Bieber, 25 East 

 Madison street. 



A certificate of merit was awarded to 

 J. H. Hill for a beautiful vase of his 

 new rose, Columbia. 



Various Notes. 



Several carloads of Dutch bulbs have 

 arrived in Chicago, consigned to a for 

 warding agent wlio has not yet received 

 his papers from tlie sliij)pers. The bulk 

 sliipments are to be broken up here and 

 delivered or reconsigned to a large num 

 ber of customers of the several Holland 

 houses rejireseiited. Without the paper;- 

 sliowing to whom each numbered case 

 belongs, tlie forwarding agent is unable 

 to do aiiytliing. Tlie supposition is that 

 the missing documents were in the mail 

 taken off the Waaldjit at Halifax. 



Another, the third, baby arrived last 

 week in the family of Harry Lublinei,
