the surrounding towns report that they 

 have received bills for considerable coal 

 which has been shipped but not yet 

 arrived. Several know where their cars 

 are, on sidings not accessible to teams. 

 It is a quite general report from those 

 who come in from the country that the 

 sidings just outside the city are full of 

 cars of coal, much of which has not 

 moved for weeks. Those who use east- 

 ern coal do not seem to be as well situ- 

 ated as the ones who burn southern Illi- 

 nois or Indiana fuel. The price is occa- 

 sioning as much concern as the slowness 

 of delivery. If flowers do not bring 

 big prices next winter the growers will 

 lose money. 



One of the local newspapers has a 

 reporter each day ask the same ques- 

 tions of five persons on the street, and 

 publishes their answers. July 20 the 

 question was, "Have you laid in your 

 winter coal?" Among the answers was 



this: 



M. O. Redding, 822 Wrightwood ayenue, flo- 

 rist— I have laid in fifteen tons. If that Isn't 

 enough I am going to hit the road for some hot 

 spot. 



That seems to be the general idea 

 among those who are footloose. 



Flower Orowers' Annual Meeting. 



The annual meeting of stockholders 

 of the Chicago Flower Growers' Asso- 

 ciation was held at the company's office 

 July 15. The reports were so satisfac- 

 tory that the five directors whose terms 

 expire this year were unanimously re- 

 elected. They are George C. Weiland, 

 E. C. Ellsworth, Charles McCauley, 

 Joseph Schoos and Paul E. Klingsporn. 

 The four holdover directors are Anton 

 Then, Edward Meuret, Fred Stielow and 

 Fred Schramm. After the stockholders 

 had adjourned the directors organized 

 for the year by reelecting all the officers 

 except Vice-president Meuret, who has 

 sold his greenhouses and who plans a 

 good rest from business cares. In his 

 place Fred Schramm was chosen. The 

 other officers are: President, George C. 

 Weiland; treasurer, Charles McCauley; 

 secretary, E. C. Ellsworth; manager, 

 Paul E. Klingsporn.
