meeting and stag banquet of the Com- 

 mercial Flower Growers of Chicago, to 

 be held at the Randolph hotel, Thurs- 

 day, June 17, at 7 p. m. The evening 

 promises to be full of both business and 

 recreation. Annual reports will be read 

 and the election of officers will take 

 place; members are urged to bring their 

 membership cards with them, so that 

 there will be no difficulty in voting. 

 H. V. Swenson, secretary of the Allied 

 Florists ' Association of Illinois, will tell 

 how the money contributed for adver- 

 tising is spent. After other speakers 

 have addressed the meeting the evening 

 will come to a light-hearted close with 

 a program of vaudeville arranged by 

 Paul E. Weiss, chairman of the enter- 

 tainment committee. The meeting is 

 open to all growers and their men 

 friends and employees. Tickets, at $2.50 

 per plate, are on sale at the wholesale 

 houses. 



"Boost Your Business — Advertise." 



That is the headline of advice over 

 the paragraphs by August F. Poehlmann 

 which appeared under his portrait on 

 the cover of the folder announcing the 

 June meeting of the Chicago Florists' 

 Club. They read: 



Summing up the re«nlU obtained by collective 

 advertising thus far, 1 feel encouraged to go on 

 with It, and I hope to see every retailer, whole- 

 saler and grower tied up with this advertising 

 campaign. 



Organization is the keynote of success to any 

 business. Loyalty to that organization cannot 

 help but Improve general conditions and will 

 eventually make your business a pleasure in- 

 stead of worry. Boost your business by boost- 

 ing your organization. 



Any movement to curtail the sale of flowers 

 should be promptly discredited. You had an 

 instance of this lately — when Miss Jarvls was 

 busy. Individually we could have done nothing. 

 Through our organization we were in position 

 immediately to counteract any injarioua Influ- 

 ence on the minds of the public. 



By concerted action of the wholesalers, the 

 express shipping orders were modified so that 

 express shipments could be resumed, again dem- 

 onstrating that united action counts for some- 

 thing tangible. Other problems of a vital nature 

 will soon have to be met. The fuel situation 

 is becoming worse dally. What is In store for 

 the grower? 



The announcement stated that the 



July, August and September meetings 



would be omitted. Attention was called 



to the Republican convention and the 



national gathering of Elks, July 5 to 11, 



as florists' opportunities. 



Various Notes. 



It is much to be regretted that the
