Growers Call a Meeting. 



A self-constituted organization com- 

 mittee has called a meeting of growers 

 for the evening of March 27 in the room 

 used by the Florists' Club, at the Ran- 

 dolph hotel, corner of Randolph and 

 Wells streets. The committee consists 

 of Walter A. Amling, chairman; Robert 

 Windier, Peter Pearson, Otto H. Amling 

 and Joseph Kohout. A general call is 

 issued to the growers of cut flowers and 

 plants to market their products in Chi- 

 cago and a plan of organization will be 

 offered for adoption. The call says: 



"In order to get a representative dis- 

 cussion of the questions involved you are 

 urged to be present and give the com- 

 mittee the benefit of your experience 

 and observation. This is your associa- 

 tion and the committee has kept that 

 fact in mind in the preparation of its 

 recommendation. J. F. Ammann, presi- 

 dent of the Society of American Flo- 

 rists, is expected to be present and aid 

 us in every manner practicable for the 

 interests of the organization. Mr. Am- 

 mann worked with tlie organization com- 

 mittee at its first meeting and tlie com- 

 mittee acknowledges its indebtedness to 

 him for many of the recommendations 

 made. Your interest in the flower grow- 

 ers of the community is of no mean im- 

 portance and the committee respectfully 

 requests your presence at this meeting."
