The Florists' Review 



Skptembkr 1, 1!>-*1 



The height of the gladiolus season 

 ai)i>ears to liavc been reached somewhat 

 earlier tlian usual. One grower is re- 

 ported to have .sent in 20,000 a day last 

 week and tliere are hundreds of con- 

 signors of lesser quantities. Much of 

 the stock is of excellent quality, but 

 there has been no chance to clean up. 

 Prices, which have been good, now are 

 below what they were at this date last 

 year, but still are a little above the low 

 level of last year's glut. 



Asters are not much more abundant 

 than they have been, but the quality is 

 greatly imj>roved. Valley is more plen- 

 tiful, the jMincipal forcer having in- 

 creased his ])lantings in anticipation of 

 increa.sed demand as the autumn season 

 ojjens. There are only a few lilies. 

 Oattleyas arc in small supply and the 

 liros]iect is that there will be few of 

 them hereafter. 



Tiie market is full of garden flowers, 

 such as marigolds, zinnias, coreopsis, 

 etc., but there is not much demand. 



Club Meeting CaUed. 



Tiie ofilicers of the (Miicago Florists' 

 Club have decided to call a special meet- 

 ing of the club in September. Though 

 it was voted last .lune to dispense with 

 the meetings during July, August and 

 8eptcmb('r. various causes have led to 

 a desire for a gathering before October. 

 The meeting will be on the regular 

 night, which falls on Sei)tember 8, and 

 will lie held at the regular ]ilace, the 

 Hotel Randolidi. An exhibition of sea- 

 sonable flowers, with the emphasis on 

 dahlias, asters and gladioli, will be 

 staged and it is hoped that a large num- 

 l)er of growers will participate. No- 

 tices of the meeting will be sent out by 

 Secretary Lautenschlager. 



Exhibits should be sent to Tim Wat- 

 ers, care Randolph Hotel, Randolph and 

 Wells streets, Chicago, express prepaid. 

 The club committee will stage exhibits 

 to the best advantage. An invitation 

 is being extended to the trade of Chi- 

 cago to attend this exhibition. 



The sju'cial order of business will be 

 the fall flower show in connection with 

 the exhil)ition of the Chrysanthemum 

 Society of .\merica. 



California Chrysanthemums. 



C. L. W.ishburn says that when he 

 was in San Francisco a few days ago 

 the market there showed remarkably 

 tine Chrysolora and Monrovia chrysan 

 themunis and the same flowers are be- 

 ginning to appear in this market and 

 in retailers' windows about town. The 

 growers arouiui San Francisco are pro- 

 ducing a larger (|uautity of mums this 

 year than ever before and the shippers 

 have planned to sujiiily the western half 

 of America. One of the largest coast 

 shijipers will have a representative in 

 this market shortly and may oi)en a 

 temjiorary siilesroom here. 



Schramm's Labor Saver. 



There arc numerous visitors at the 

 establishment of Friink Schramm, at 

 Crystal Lake, attriicted liy the oi>por- 

 tunity to see how first class roses are 

 growii and by the oitportunity to wattli 

 the ojieration of the Fairfield coal un- 

 loading equijiment with which Mr. 

 Schramm is handling this yeiir's supply 

 lit fuel. It is the only installation of 

 its kind in the Chicago territory, but 

 there are several growers who are plan- 

 ning to install the eipiipmeiit soon. Mr. 

 Schramm is enthusiastic about it. He
