CUT FLOWERS 



Large Supplies of the 



Popular New Roses and Carnations 



iiig Shasta daisies, gaillardias, coreop- 

 sis, candytuft, etc. Outdoor sweet peas 

 have suffered because of the heat and 

 the same cause has practically finished 

 the peas under glass. 



New ferns have become so abundant 

 as to send the price down to $3 and 

 prices for most other greens have fallen 

 in sympathy. 



Wliolesalers ' Annual Meeting. 



The annual meeting of the Chicago 

 Wholesale Cut Flower Association was 

 held around the dinner table at the 

 Hotel Kandolph Thursday evening, 

 June 16, while the growers were at din- 

 ner in an adjoining room. The whole- 

 salers elected the following officers: 



President — Paul E. Klingsporn, of 

 the Chicago Flower Growers' Associa- 

 tion. 



Vice-president — Eric Johnson, of the 

 A. L. Randall Co. 



Secretary — A. C. Kohlbrand, of the 

 E. C. Amling Co. 



Treasurer — P. C. Schupp, of the J. A. 

 Budlong Co. 



Messrs. Kohlbraud and Schupp have 

 held their respective jiosts ever since 

 the fust meeting for temporary organi- 

 zation. 



The greater part of the evening was 

 spent in discussing trade affairs, but no 

 action was taken, it being the policy of 

 the organization to suggest and discuss 

 means of advancing the general inter- 

 ests of the trade, but to leave each 

 member free to determine his own 

 course of action. 



It was reported that tlie one per cent 

 service charge on city sales was work- 

 ing well, only a few buyers objecting 

 in any way, as they have the knowledge 

 that every penny so raised is turned 

 over to the Allied Florists' Association 

 for publicity jiurposes. 



Growers' Banquet. 



The banquet and entertainment of 

 ' the Commercial Flower Growers of Chi- 

 cago drew a good attendance for the 

 'annual election of officers at the Hotel 

 Eandolph Thursday evening, June 16. 

 More than 80 gathered to enjoy the 

 program prepared by August Poehl- 



Do not he content 



This is the season to be alert, to use 

 your mind, to make each month's 

 sales hold up to the average cost; the 

 rest will take care of itself. To be 

 content to take a loss in the summer 

 and make it up later is poor policy. 



Hold your rose trade while your 

 plants are resting; for every rose 

 sale carries another with it. Come 

 to us for your regular supply with 

 a standing order.
