ber 20 a shipment of San Prancisco 

 violets reached one of the wholesale 

 houses. 



Valley is even with the demand, but 

 good Easter lilies are none too plenti- 

 ful. Cattleyas are slightly less plenti- 

 ful than last week and oncidiums are 

 on the down grade, but there are plenty 

 of white orchids and cypripediums 

 have come iu. 



There have been dahlias, gladoli, 

 asters and cosmos up to October 20, 

 but the freeze probably has put an 

 end to them for this season. 



Smilax is anything but plentiful and, 

 with social activities bolstering the de- 

 mand, there is some trouble in filling 

 the calls. Plumosus- strings also -are 

 scarce. Other greens are to be had 

 without trouble. 



Association Meeting. 



At its meeting October 16 the Cook 

 County Florists' Association, by a 

 vote of 28 to 8, declined to concur in 

 the recommendation of a majority of 

 its board of trustees that the organ- 

 ization be merged with the Chicago 

 Florists' Club under the name of the 

 Chicago-C9ok •County Florists ' Club. A, 

 Henderson, H. N. Bruns and W. J. 

 Keimel were the trustees who ^ad at- 

 tended a conference with a committee 

 from thie Other club and each made a 



speech in favor of accepting the over- 

 tures of the Chicago Florists' Club. The 

 principal speech in opposition was made 

 by H. E. Philpott, but the vote showed 

 that he voiced the views of the ma- 

 jority of those present when he argued 

 for the maintenance of the separate 

 organization. The association voted 

 to accept the invitation of the Chi- 

 cago Florists' Club to join in the la- 

 dies' night to be given November 6, 

 when the Chrysanthemum Society of 

 f America will be in town for its an- 

 nual show. Tickets for all local people 

 are $1.

Various Notes. 



George Wienhoeber says the season 

 has opened splendidly for the Fleiseh- 

 man Floral Co. The store, with a new 

 floor, is in better shape than' ever be- 

 fore. The advertising this year is 

 confined to one morning and one even- 

 ing paper, large spaces being used. A 

 distinctive border has been adopted

for all the advertising. Mr. Wien- 

 hoeber believes the store is well enough 

 known so that it is not necessary to 

 say much in its advertisements, but 

 he is careful to see that each one con- 

 tains a specific offer of desirable flow- 

 ers at an attractive price. He says 

 each advertisement produces a prompt 

 response, especially in telephone orders. 



L. H. Winterson has severed his con- 

 nection with Winterson 's Seed Store. 



The Batavia Greenhouse Co., accord- 

 ing to O. Johnson, has had excellent 

 success with its mums this season.
