CHICAGO FLORISTS' CLUB BOWLS. 



Last Meeting Till Autumn. 



Tate decreed that the bowling tourna- 

 ment which featured the elosinf!; meet- 

 ing of tlie Chicago Florists' Club for 

 the season should fall on the hottest 

 niglit of the year to date. Despite the 

 heat, liowever, an attendance of about 

 eighty-five, including a number of the 

 ladies, gathered at the Chateau bowl- 

 ing alleys, Thursday evening, June 8, 

 where the club members were the guests 

 of Albert Fuch.s, who' long ago retired 

 from the florists' biisiness to manage 

 his Chateau building and ajiartnionts on 

 Broadway, extending from Grace street 

 to Sheridan road. 



A brief business meeting preceded the 

 bowling. At this time it was decided 

 to hold no meetings during July, Au- 

 gust and September; the next meeting 

 of the club will be held in October. 



A report in regard to transportation 

 to the S. A. F. convention at Kansas 

 City was made by the chairman of the 

 transportation committee, to whom the 

 club left the choice of route to be taken 

 by the Chicago party to the convention. 

 Report as to the committee's selection 

 will be mailed members later. 



To remember suitably the deaths of 

 three club members. Frank F. Benthey, 

 Andrew Benson and Lorenz P. Geiger, 

 which occurred recently, the club in- 

 structed James Morton to draw up the 

 proper resolutions. 



Hans Jepsen invited the club to hold 

 its November meeting at his green- 

 houses, in Maywood, in November, 

 when the chrysanthemum cro]) would 

 be nt its height. 



When called upon, T. E. Waters was 

 not quite prepared to present the final 

 report on the club's dance at the May 

 meeting, but, on mgtion, all bills for the 

 occasion were ordered paid, as well as 

 any which might accrue in regard to 

 routine matters between this meeting 

 and the next one, in October. 



Secretary Lautenschlager was in- 

 structed to draw up a suitnble resolu- 

 tion- thanking Mr. and Mrs. Albert 

 Fuchs for the hospitality shown the 

 club.

In his t.alk to the club members about 

 the sweet peas he displayed, Mr. Elliott 

 stated that they were some of his own 

 seedlings, some of which were grown to 

 determine how well thev were fixed, or 



in other words, if they bred true. The 

 seeds, he said, were sown during No- 

 vember, 1921. After they had ger- 

 minated, the flats in which they were 

 sown were wintered in a coldframe. In 

 March the plants were put into 3-inch 

 pots and later into .^-inch pots, a single 

 plant in a pot. They were grown in 

 coldframes with plenty of ventilation 

 in mild weather and planted out April 

 16 eighteen inches apart, being allowed 

 to branch naturally. The plants beg.'in 

 to bloom the third week in Mav.
