The lecture proved both interesting and 

 instructive, mainly to the growers. 



Otto H. Amling again read his paper 

 on the cost of production of roses, which 

 was presented at the November meeting 

 of the club. The paper was published 

 in The Eeview for November 14 and had 

 been given wide attention and consid- 

 eration, so that its second reading 

 brought out a general discussion, the 

 most interesting talk coming from L. B. 

 Bohannon, president of the new Chicago 

 Betail Florists ' Association. He empha- 

 sized the lack of cooperation and or- 

 ganization in the trade, including re- 

 tailers, commission houses and growers. 

 Philip J. Foley commented on Mr. Am- 

 ling 's heating figures, claiming the costs 

 shown to be too high, and President Lau- 

 tenschlager requested Mr. Foley to pre- 

 pare a paper on this subject for the next 

 business meeting of the club. 



Arthur A. Craig also read again a 

 paper he had presented at the November 

 meeting. In it he outlined plans to 

 bring about a better understanding be- 

 tween wholesalers and retailers and sug- 

 gested a way for a committee to settle 

 all grievances between the three 

 branches of the trade, the main object 

 being to do away with "red violet" 

 business among the wholesalers. Mr. 

 Craig 's paper was referred to the execu- 

 tive committee for action. 



O. J. Friedman, chairman of the gar- 

 den committee, reported on the success 

 of war gardens by the children of the 

 public schools, brought about by Presi- 

 dent Lautenschlager and himself. It is 

 Mr. Friedman's desire that the club 

 carry on this work next year. 



At the November meeting a Victory 

 banquet was suggested and left in the 

 hands of the sports and pastimes com- 

 mittee, but as no action had been taken 

 by this committee President Lauten- 

 sdilager appointed T. E. Waters, chair- 

 man of the good-of-the-club committee, 

 to handle the affair and appoint his own 

 assistants. It was decided that the ban- 

 quet will be held on the regular meeting 

 night in January, 1919, which falls on 

 Thursday, January 9. Before the close 

 of the meeting Mr. Waters had arranged 

 to have the banquet at the Bluebird 

 room of the Bandolph hotel, the room in 

 which the club now meets. It will be
