WE ARE CLOSED ALL DAY SUNDAY 



cut out of mums before Thanksgiving, 

 but others have special batches grown 

 for that occasion and the market will 

 be moderately well supplied. 



The supply of Beauties is small and 

 there has been an advance of twenty- 

 five per cent in the price of the best 

 grades. List prices of the other roses 

 are unchanged this week, but there is 

 the important difference that it now is 

 possible to clean up at these prices; 

 each day's receipts go out as they come 

 in and there is no accumulation, Colum- 

 bia is the variety most seen, with 

 Premier, Russell and Ophelia following 

 in the order named. 



There is a steady increase in the sup- 

 ply of carnations. They are holding 

 their own in the matter of price, but 

 probably cannot advance until after 

 the deluge of white pompons is past. 



Paper Whites are something of a prob- 

 lem. They cannot be sold cheaply now 

 that the price of the bulbs is so high, 

 but retailers refuse to regard them as 

 a fancy flower. There is some increase 

 in the supply of sweet peas and these 

 are popular. Violets also have become 

 more salable. Valley is more plentiful, 

 the grower apparently having foreseen 

 the increased demand for fancy flowers 

 at this date. Cattleyas are in erratic 

 supply and demand, prices varying 

 widely from day to day. The small sup- 

 ply of bouvardia moves briskly. Calen- 

 dulas are not actively in request. 

 Greens are plentiful. 



Club Meeting. 



The monthly meeting of the Florists' 

 Club was held at the Hotel Randolph, 

 Thursday evening, November 6. All 



the officers and trustees were present, 

 with but a fair representation of mem- 

 bers. 



The following applicants for member- 

 ship were elected: Tony Then, 218 

 Winnemac avenue; Fred G. Barry, 850 

 West Seventy-ninth street; H. C. Wull- 

 brandt, 5515 West Madison street; 

 Antonio Rocca, 55 East Jackson boule- 

 vard. 



The special committee reported it 

 was unable to get the meeting of the 

 F. T. D. for Chicago in 1920, but that 

 the matter should be taken up again 

 with a view to securing the meeting at 

 some future time, A communication 

 was read from Secretary Young, regard- 

 ing the club's representation on the 

 board of directors of the S. A. F. and 

 appropriate action was taken.
