The club will hold its monthly meet- 

 ing at 8 p. m., September 4, at the 

 Hotel La Salle. The special business 

 will be the election of a secretary to 

 succeed Ed. C. Toepel, whose resigna-

 state of Washington. 



Various Notes. 

 J. W. Furrow, of Furrow & Co., 

 Guthrie, Okla., left for home Septem-

 here as a peach broker. He wedges 

 this in as a side issue for two months 

 during the dull season each year and 

 says it serves as a vacation as well.

firm has experienced in the flower busi- 

 ness and he expects to enlarge to some 

 extent this season. 



Mrs. Ida M. Latshaw, manager of 

 the Meredith Flower & Vegetable Co., 

 Libertyville, 111., was in the city Sep- 

 tember 2 and made arangements for a 

 supply of cut flowers to take care of 

 customers during the annual Lake 

 County fair, which is held at Liberty- 

 ville. Owing to the big horse show 

 in connection, this is one of the social 

 affairs of the summer. Many socially 

 prominent Chicagoans have summer 

 homes there. C. W. Stout has tendered 

 his resignation as secretary of the 

 company and will retire October 1.

 cipal exhibitors of cut flowers at the 

 Luxemberger Schobermesse, held annu- 

 ally on High Ridge on Labor day and 

 the preceding Sunday. There was an 

 enormous crowd. The Wietor exhibits 

 were roses exclusively. In addition
