Association Picnic. '?^ 



The second annual picnic of the Cook 

 (Jounty Florists' Association was held 

 September 7 at Karthauser's grove, 

 6656 Ridge avenue, and was well at- 

 tended by the local growers, whole- 

 salers and retailers, for the location 

 was right in the north shore green- 

 house section. Although the heat was 

 intense, everyone enjoyed the enter- 

 tainments provided by the committee 

 in charge and a neat sum was realized 

 for the association. There was plenty 

 of fun for everyone, including dancing 

 both afternoon and evening. Chairman 

 Zech said that the picnic was one of 

 the most successful affairs of which he 

 has knowledge, both in point of atten- 

 dance, entertainment and the amount 

 of money realized. As an indication of 

 the friendly feeling between the Chi- 

 cago Florists' Club and the Cook 

 County Florists ' Association, Guy 

 French, president of the former, was 

 present and was warmly greeted by the 

 officers and members of the association. 



Various Notes. 



.John Michelsen, of the E. (J. Amliug 

 Co., returned September 7 from his an- 

 nual trip to the Hudson river violet 

 section. He says the atmosphere there 

 is almost as blue as the flowers. A 

 few growers continue to report profit- 

 able business, but nearly twenty-five 

 have quit since last season, and not 

 one new place has gone up. Some of 

 the places that droppe4 violets are idle, 

 while others have been used fot asters, 

 chrysanthemums and peas. In addition 

 to unsatisfactory market conditions, 

 the growers have had to contend with 

 root rot and grub worms. Many places 

 have changed hands lately. A majority 

 of the growers have other business in- 

 terests. Mr. Michelsen says that al- 

 though the growers are inclined at the 

 moment to look on the dark side of 

 things, he believes that the season will 

 prove a fairly good one for those who 

 give their plants proper care and thus 

 turn out the right grade of stock. 



The coroner has named Peter Rein- 

 berg as one of a committee of twenty- 

 five on public safety, to devise means 

 of reducing the number of automobile 

 accidents. Mr. Reinberg's cars never 

 break the speed laws. 



Emil Buettner is cutting about 500 

 flowers per day of the new pink rose, 

 Mrs. George Shawyer, originated in 

 England and distributed this season by 

 C. H. Totty. 



This hafl been an excellent season for
