by such older varieties as King and 

 America at lower prices and outdoor 

 stock from the south at much cheaper 

 rates. Statice has come to play a con- 

 siderable part, some of it locally grown 

 and some imported from California. 



There have been days on which ferns 

 were difficult to obtain. The shortages 

 have been temporary and have been due 

 to poor transportation, regular ship- 

 ments arriving irregularly. 



The Florists' Club Dances. 



The ladies' night of the Chicago Flo- 

 rists' Club, June 5, was not quite np to 

 expectations, as it did not draw so many 

 members as a regular meeting. The 

 dance music was excellent and was fur- 

 nished by Murray's Entertainers Su- 

 preme. Eefreshments were served be- 

 tween the dances. Mrs. C. Prauenfelder 



gave a song recital, which was much 

 enjoyed; she was called back to sing 

 three songs before the audience would 

 let her stop. The visitors from out of 

 town were Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Pollworth 

 and Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Kennedy, of 

 Milwaukee, and Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Am- 

 mann, of Edwardsville, 111. Mr. Am- 

 mann is president of the S. A. F. 



The business meeting consisted only 

 of proposing these names for member- 

 ship: Antonio Eocca, 55 East Jackson 

 boulevard; H. C. Wullbrandt, 5315 West 

 Madison street; Fred Ottenbacher, 

 Michael Feeres, Joseph Eringer, Frank 

 Jaral and J. Beyers.
