of the rose growers say weather condi- 

 tions favor their Easter crops. 



Violets are faring much better than 

 they did even a few days ago. The 

 receipts of Hudson river doubles are 

 much lighter than they were, many 

 growers having stopped shipping, and 

 the local singles are profiting by it. 

 Sweet peas, however, are the popular 

 corsage flower. Some of the Spencer 

 varieties are extremely fine and all 

 good peas are selling well. The ones 

 that do not move are the short-stemmed 

 g^andifloras. There still is an abun- 

 dance of all bulbous stock, but the sup- 

 ply is not so large as it was last week 

 and it now is possible to make some- 

 thing like a clearance on all good flow- 

 ers. Freesia is passing out., Romans 

 are nearly gone, only a few growers 

 now sending them in. Paper Whites 

 also are approaching the end of their 

 season. Dutch hyacinths are offered 

 only in pots. Valley is abundant. 

 Easter lilies are in good supply and 

 the early birds of the Easter crop are 

 beginning to come in; from now on 

 there will be no end to the lilies. Snap- 

 dragon of real quality again is avail- 

 able. There are a few Spanish irises. 

 Calendulas are plentiful.

To Merge the Clubs? 



At the meeting of the Cook County 

 Florists' Association, March 18, for the 

 purpose of taking action on the invita- 

 tion of the Chicago Florists' Club to 

 amalgamate the two organizations, both 

 plans suggested by the club were voted 

 down. After much discussion,- Presi- 

 dent Miller appointed a committee com- 



posed of John Zech, W. H. Amling, 

 P. M. Broadbeck, A. Henderson and 

 N. P. Miller to meet a committee of 

 the Chicago Florists' Club with the 

 proposition that the members in good 

 standing of the association be allowed 

 to join the club in a body, without 

 ballot, the association to turn over to 

 the club all money remaining in the 

 treasury as full payment of dues of the 

 association members up to August 1, 

 1915. There will be another meeting
