fine this fall, much better than the aver- 

 age; in fact, the quality of all stock 

 seems to be better than usual this year. 

 Lily of the valley is uncertain; some 

 days a little is received and again the 

 market will be bare for several days. 

 Orchids again are in good supply. The 

 demand in roses is heavier for the 

 medium and short grades and they are 

 sold out quickly. However, the long 

 and fancy grades have moved off every 



day " 



Club Meeting. 



The regular meeting of the Chicago 

 Florists' Club was held at the Hotel 

 Randolph, Thursday night, October 9. 

 The attendance was small, but much in- 

 terest was shown in regard to selecting 

 a "Say It with Flowers" week in Chi- 

 cago. There were some interesting re- 

 ports on the S. A. F. convention held 

 at Detroit last August, as this was the 

 club's first meeting since then. Ar- 

 rangements for the coming convention 

 of the American Carnation Society and 

 the meeting of the Illinois State Flo- 

 rists' Association, which will be held 

 in January, 1920, were discussed. 



Various Notes. 



The severe storm of October 10 caused 

 considerable damage to the property of 

 the Chicago Carnation Co., at Joliet. 

 Mr. Peterson says they lost a green- 

 house and half of another, including 

 about 6,000 panes of glass. 



At a meeting of the stockholders of 

 the E. C. Amling Co., held October 13, 

 preliminary steps were taken to increase 

 the number of directors from five to 

 seven. The board was given the power 

 to fill the two new places as soon as the 

 necessary legal details are completed. 



At Crystal Lake Frank Schramm is 

 installing a refrigerating system to 

 handle the rooms in which he cools his 

 rose cut. It is the Kroeschell appara- 

 tus which has been installed by a num- 

 ber of the Chicago wholesale cut flower 

 dealers, the Chicago Flower Growers' 

 Association, Poehlmann Bros. Co. and 

 Zech & Mann having been the latest tb 

 adopt it. 



L. E. King, formerly manager of the 

 flower store of the Everette R. Peacock 

 Co., is opening his own store at 3968 

 Avondale avenue.

SERVICE 



In filling cut flower orders it is not the service of a day 

 or week that counts so much as the general average of serv- 

 ice for the year round. ,

should give you confidence that you will get the kind of 

 service which will enable you to push and expand your 

 business at all times. 



You have the absolute assurance of knowing in advance 

 that you are drawing your supply from the greatest cut 

 flower market in the country. Millions of feet of glass de- 

 voted to cut flower production are yours "to cut from" as 

 if it were your own 



Mammoth Greenhouse Establishment 



Our share of this supply is at all times well balanced 

 and dependable. 



OUR 38 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN GIVING 

 SERVICE TO THE CUT FLOWER TRADE 

 SHOULD MEAN SOMETHING TO YOU.
