bright weather, a typical January thaw, 

 will loosen things up in short order, 

 especially as to carnations and sweet 

 peas. 



Mr. Klingspom's Plans Devrtoping. 



Paul E. Klingsporn, manager and one 

 of the chief stockholders of the Chicago 

 Flower Growers' Association, has 

 visions of a much larger business in cut 

 flowers for the Chicago market in gen- 

 eral and for his own concern in particu- 

 lar. Mr. Klingsporn believes the de- 

 mand for flowers in the middle west 

 will increase at least as fast as produc- 

 tion can be developed and that Chicago 

 will be the center to which this demand 

 will come for many years, especially 

 for roses. Consequently Mr. Klingsporn 

 not only is encouraging his associates to 

 build greenhouses, but is planning to 

 increase the facilities for handling 

 their output. 



At the quarterly meeting of the di- 

 rectors of the Chicago Flower Growers' 

 Association held January 13 it was 

 voted to recommend to the stockholders 

 that they increase the capital stock of 

 the company from $30,000 to $60,000. 

 As soon as the legal papers can be 

 drawn a -special stockholders' meeting 

 will be called for the purpose of put- 

 ting the matter through. Each stock- 

 holder will have the opportunity of 

 doubling his pVesent holding. 



With this addition to the associa- 

 tion's present capital and surplus, the 

 directors feel they w'll be able to han- 

 dle a business of a million dollars a 

 year. 



Sympathy. 



Within the last few days A. J. Zech 

 has received reports from several towns 

 in which retail florists are in competi- 

 tion with someone who grows his own 

 carnations and is selling them to the 

 public at less than the wholesale value 

 of good stock on the Chicago market. 

 Mr. Zech says that at present his sym- 

 pathy is unqualifiedly with such retail- 

 ers, but that soon he expects to have 

 to transfer it to the greenhouse owners, 

 because some of them undoubtedly will 

 lose a night fireman or other necessary 

 employee and be unable to replace him 

 through inability to pay the wages now 

 demanded. 



THEN 



"For many years GROWERS AND RETAILERS 

 have been dissatisfied with the conditions of the 

 CHICAGO MARKET. My ambition was to embody 

 certain principles of conducting a WHOLESALE 

 COMMISSION HOUSE under growers' supervision 

 that would KEEP US OUT of any criticism of 

 GROWER OR RETAILER. The beginning was 

 made in adopting, in 1916, the recommendations as 

 made in the FAMOUS GROWERS' PETITION." 



■iyT/-^-«f 7 SINCE 1916 up to NOW the resolutions as formu- 



INU W lated in the GROWERS' PETITION have been car- 

 ried out in spirit — in practice — in cooperation. 



WE LEAD THE MARKET with every one of these 

 recommendations, which were accepted successively 

 by associations that were organized later — 



WHOLESALE FLORISTS, RETAIL FLORISTS, 

 COMMERCIAL FLOWER GROWERS.
