 the market, published in The Review of 

 September 23, was also deferred till a 

 larger number of members might be 

 present. 



Secretary Otto Amling reported on 

 "Say It with Flowers" week, the suc-

 by the local trade. One new member, 

 Calvary Cemetery Greenhouses, was ad-

R. J. Windier sent in bunches of two 

 pompon chrysanthemums as an exhibit. 

 At his request they were judged. Presi-

 awarded the exhibitor. In this connec-

 staging of exhibits at each meeting as 

 a means of drawing a larger attend- 

 ance. While the plan was favored, it 

 was thought that the next meeting, 

 coming nine days be|fore Christmas, 

 would be an inopportune time to begin.

 but it has been suggested that an office 

 be opened at Chicago for the transac- 

 tion of any of the business of the board. 

 "The florists' business is far from 

 being dead yet," said the veteran, 

 Ernst Wienhoeber. As a matter of fact,
