Oreat quantities of sweet peas have 

 been. sold, at prices ranging from mod- 

 erate to extremely low. Jonquils, daf- 

 fodils, Paper Whites and other indoor 

 bulbous flowers are approaching the 

 end of their season, but there have 

 been enough and arrivals of southern 

 stock have been so large that South 

 Water street and the provision stores 

 even have taken a hand in the game. 

 Spanish iris is becoming more plenti- 

 ful and there is a marked improvement 

 in the quality of the snapdragon. In- 

 deed, if there is any feature of the 

 situation that has attracted more at- 

 tention than the size of the supply 

 it is the uniformly high quality of the 

 stock. Flowers seldom have been of 

 better quality. 



The opening of the present week saw 

 little change in the market. There 

 was no decrease in receipts and ship- 

 ping orders continued light, indicating 

 a condition through the country sim- 

 ilar to that which exists at Chicago. 

 Of course, the sli^ghtlj^ cooler weather 

 of this week will have a regenerating 

 effect and another week will probably 

 see things approximating a normal con- 

 dition. 



Club Meeting. 



It is doubtful if the Chicago Flo- 

 rists* Club ever had a more truly suc- 

 cessful meeting than that of April 8.

finished the room was darkened and 

 the members and guests were enter- 

 tained with a Leffingwell travel talk, 

 which was illustrated with stereop- 

 ticon views and moving pictures of 

 the San Francisco exposition and the 

 scenic and industrial wonders of the 

 Pacific northwest. William B. Leffing- 

 well, who is official lecturer of the 

 Union Pacific system, arranged this 

 talk especially for the florists and he 

 succeeded in making it, not only highly 

 entertaining, but quite instructive as 

 well. 



The lecture was followed by a pleas- 



ant talk from A. Henderson, in which 

 he sketched briefly the career of the 

 Cook County Florists' Association and 

 announced the surrender of its charter, 

 its members being elected to member- 

 ship in the club. President Keimel, in 

 an informal talk, welcomed the new 

 members and H. E, Philpott responded 

 for the incoming body. President 

 Keimel then stated that he would later 

 appoint a committee to arrange for a 

 consolidation banquet. Those elected 

 to membership were Louis Hoekner, 

 Crystal Lake, HI.; Fred Ronsley, 106 

 Dearborn street and John Swenson,
