supremely respect him. They know his 

 heavy, sleepy-looking eyes see a good 

 deal more than some persons think they 

 do, and they know that when political 

 shinnanigan has reached the point where 

 good, honest work and faithful men are 

 imperiled, he'll come down on it like a 

 thousand of brick." 



Flower Growers' Annual. 



The ninth annual stockholders' meet- 

 ing of the Chicago Flower Growers ' As- 

 sociation, held July 15, developed re- 

 ports by the officers showing the year 

 to have been the most successful in the 

 history of this cooperative sales under- 

 taking. The stockholders elected the 

 following board of directors: Fred 

 Stielow, Anton Then, Joseph Schoos, 

 Fred Schramm, George C. Weiland, E. 

 Meuret, Charles MeCauley, Eudolph 

 Ellsworth and Paul Klingsporn. 



After the stockholders adjourned the 

 directors immediately went into session 

 and organized by the election of the fol- 

 lowing ofl&cers: President, George C. 

 Weiland; vice-president, E. Meuret; 

 treasurer, Charles MeCauley; secretary, 

 Budolph Ellsworth. Mr. Klingsporn was 

 reappointed manager. His work in the 

 last three years was highly commended. 



Various Notes. 



There recently was a civil service ex- 

 amination for the position of head gar- 

 dener at Lincoln park. It is reported 

 that William J. O'CarroU was the high 

 man, getting a mark of 79.275. Mr. 

 O'CarroU has been head gardener at 

 the University of Chicago for the last 

 eight years. 



On Paul Klingsporn 's vacation trip 

 east he took occasion to note that the 

 prices of cut flowers were higher in 

 Philadelphia than in Chicago, but that 

 the quantity of stock available was con- 

 siderably less than in this market. 



J. Nelson has been in the business at 

 1749 Huron street for about forty years. 

 He is 77 years of age and one of the 

 oldest active florists in Chicago. He 

 plans to sell out and retire.

 which Sam Freund is manager, has just

SATISFACTION 



No grower has reason to be dissatisfied with our 

 SALES REPORT, since it explains fully what takes 

 place in the handling of the Consignor's products. 



We are strictly a Commission House to which every 

 grower finds it safe to consign. We have no green- 

 houses of our own, no grower-executive to favor, 

 and no discriminating Commission Charges to make 

 toward one shipper against another. 

 Every grower with us is treated alike. 

 Sales opportunities are equally open to all. 



In spirit— in principle— in practice— we are a grow- 

 ers* association that is "TRUE TO NAME."

making the enameled boxes that were so 

 popular with florists before the war. 



Did you see the picture in the daily 

 papers July 14, showing the "president 

 of the Irish republic" placing the big 

 wreath at the foot of the statue of 

 Lincoln f Many people remarked the 

 fine showing the flowers made in the 

 picture. The piece was made by George 



Fisher, of Rose Premier, and he is proud 

 of it. .

 active silent partner, began cutting its 

 crop of gladioli last week. The plant- 

 ing covers many acres, primarily for 

 cut flowers, and a big business is ex- 

 pected, lasting until frost. Bonvallet &
