 with flowers? 



From present indications there will be 

 plenty of stock for all needs; no short- 

 ages are looked for, although it is said 

 by many growers that they have cut 

 some varieties of mums earlier than 

 usual. 



Club Meeting. 



The feature of the meeting of the 

 'Chicago Florists' Club, held November 

 7 at the Eandolph hotel, was the nom- 

 ination of officers for the coming year. 

 The election will be held at the De- 

 cember meeting. The nominations were 

 as follows: 



President — George C. Weiland; A. J. 

 Zech. 



Vice-president — Walter Amling. 



Secretary — A. T. Pyfer. 



Treasurer — Otto H. Amling. 



Trustee — Fred Lautenschlager, to fill 

 the vacancy of outgoing trustee, H. N. 

 Bruns. 



Arthur A. Craig, who was appointed 

 by President Lautenschlager at the Sep- 

 tember meeting of the club to work out 

 a proposed plan to bring about a better 

 understanding between wholesalers and 

 retailers, read a paper in which he gave 

 in detail a plan for a committee to set-

 and retailers, the main object being to

 again at the December meeting, when 

 a larger attendance is looked for.

cost of production of roses, which ap-/

 view. A communication was read, com- 

 ing from the Chamber of Commerce of 

 the United States of America, asking 

 for a war service committee of florists 

 of the United States to meet at Wash- 

 ington to deal with the government on 

 the question of fuel supply, etc., the 

 committee to represent the entire flo- 

 rists' trade. The letter stated that 

 copies had been sent to members of the 

 trade in every city. It did not occur to 

 anyone until afterward that the Cham- 

 ber of Commerce either was starting 

 something antagonistic to the S. A. F. 

 or that the letter was merely the evi- 

 dence of lack of knowledge of what 

 has been done by the trade's regularly 

 authorized representatives, so the club
