zations of florists. The Cook County 

 Florists' Association will be formally 

 dissolved and its present members in 

 good standing will join the Chicago 

 Florists' Club in a body. After the 

 business of the evening has been trans- 

 acted, the members will be entertained 

 with a lecture on the various routes to 

 and from the California expositions, il- 

 lustrated by stereopticon views. Chair- 

 man Fink, of the good of the club com-

 members of the trade are invited and a 

 large attendance is expected.

 finest lilies in Chicago, long stems, |9 per hun-

 having appeared outside a trade paper.

 that far more peonies than ever before 

 will be marketed in May by Kennicott
