Growers to Meet Next Week. 



The monthly meeting of the Commer- 

 cial Flower Growers of Chicago is to 

 be held at the Randolph hotel, Thursday 

 evening, October 21, at 8 p. m. A full 

 attendance is looked for, as important 

 business is to be transacted. 



The special subject for discussion will 

 be the question, "How can the neces- 

 sary dues for the National Growers' 

 Association, of which the association 

 is a local branch, be best raised!" Sec- 

 retary Otto H. Amling says the con- 

 sensus at the last meeting was that 

 these dues be raised by an assessment of 

 one-eighth of one per cent on gross 

 sales, as it was figured this would about 

 equal $1 per thousand square feet cov- 

 ered by glass and would be equitable all 

 around. 



W. J. Keimel, president of the Na- 

 tional Growers' Association, will report 

 the proceedings of the executive meet- 

 ing at Indianapolis. 



Several applicants for membership 

 are to be voted on. 



The Amling Annual Meeting. 



The annual meeting of the stockhold- 

 ers of the E. C. Amling Co. was held at 

 the company's office in the evening of 

 October 11. The reports showed the 

 past year to have been the largest in 

 the company's history, sales having 

 considerably exceeded the million mark. 

 Directors were elected, as follows: E. 

 C. Amling, H. C. Wendland, W. J, 

 Keimel, H. Wehrman and S. J. Pearce. 

 The directors elected the following 

 officers: President, E. C. Amling; vice- 

 president, H. C. Wendland; treasurer, 

 W. J. Keimel; secretary, Paul Weiss; 

 manager, C. J. Michelsen. 



Various Notes. 



The impression is general that Sep- 

 tember was extremely warm, but the 

 weather bureau's figures show that in 

 mean temperature and rainfall the 

 month this year was exactly like Sep- 

 tember last year, both years being 

 slightly above normal. The percentage 

 of possible sun, however, was high, 71 

 against 64 as normal. There was no 

 frost in September. The earliest kill- 

 ing frost ever recorded at Chicago was 

 September 20, 1896. The average date 

 is October 17.
