and John Young, New York city. By 

 previous action of the club these are 

 now honorary members of the Chicago 

 Florists' Club. 



President Keimel stated he had re- 

 ceived a communication urging the 

 club to participate in the Eastland re- 

 lief work. The secretary, Guy French, 

 was instructed to make answer to the 

 effect that by individual donations and 

 the contribution of flowers, together

 Cornelia Ryan, secretary; W. P. Kyle 

 and Andrew Chronis. 



The sale of flowers in the audience 



of the Green Mill gardens the same 

 night added nearly $175 to the relief 

 fund. 



Various Notes. 



Walter F. Weed, 18 years old, and 

 Wilburt A. Hard, 21 years old, were 

 sentenced to life imprisonment by 

 Judge Kersten August 5, for the mur- 

 der of William Weil, the florist who 

 was found strangled to death in his 

 place of business at 421 West Sixty- 

 third street on the night of April 5, 

 The youths pleaded guilty after the 

 state's attorney had consented to waiv-
