will work differently. Tlio good spikes 

 will be sold and the i)oor ones will 

 stand around. 



There arc only a i'ew asters as yet 

 and most of them are small, while many 

 have open centers, the result of the 

 heat and drought which have ruined 

 many a crop. But carnations are gone 

 and the demand is so good that the 

 asters sell well at prices which would 

 have been considered satisfactory for 

 the best stock a few years ago. 



Auratums have arrived to reinforce 

 giganteums. The supply of miscel- 

 laiieoi^s flowers is limited. There are 

 plenty of Shasta daisies and gypso- 

 phila. Valley equals the demand. 

 Delphinium has run a short season. 



'There is nothing out of the ordiuary 

 in, greens, although the high express 

 cljarges are a reason for complaint. 



j Pushing the Pageant. 



With the opening of the Pageant of 

 Progress only a week away, it seems 

 that the trade's participation will be 

 small. 



The present layout contemplates the 

 state, county and city governments and 

 institutions occupying spaces along the 

 front and back of the section of which 

 the center strip is assigned to our trade. 

 In this central strip spaces have been 

 engaged by the Florists' Telegraph De- 

 livery Association, Schiller the Florist, 

 Henry Wittbold & Son, A. L. Randall 

 Co., W. \V. Barnard Co., Vaughan's 

 Seed Store, J. Oliver Johnson, the West- 

 eijn Pottery Co., Pulverized Manijre 

 Co., and the Adler-Jones Co., the latter 

 a! dealer in artificial flowers. 



:A number of the ■yvholesale houses 

 have subscribed generous sums which 

 are to be used to pay for the space em- 

 ployed for a competitive flower show, 

 for which it has been said the manage- 

 ment of the pageant would provide 

 $5,000 in cash premiums. No premium 

 '^Hst has as yet reached The Review. i

The stockholders of the Chicago 

 Flower Growers held their tenth annual 

 meeting at the offices of the company 

 July 15. After listening to the reports 

 of tli« officers, which showed the com- 

 pany had done in its tenth year the 

 largest business in its hi«tory^_tha>-folr 

 lowing directors were elected to serve

Various Notes. 



Feeling compelled by decreased re- 

 turns from their greenhouses, growers 

 are seeking means of reducing expenses. 

 Labor being the largest item of ex- 

 pense and one which has risen most in 

 l)rice since the pre-war days, attention 

 is being given to the possibilit}' of 

 effecting economy through reducing 

 pay rolls. Wages do not come down as 

 easily as they went u]i. If too large
