The supply of carnations from under 

 glass continues to increase daily and 

 the quality is remarkably good consid- 

 ering the hot weather. In most cases 

 the wholesalers find little occasion to 

 place them in the iceboxes, as the buy- 

 ers are generally anxious to pick them 

 up. Asters continue plentiful, but lit- 

 tle can be said of their quality, as the 

 market is flooded with rain-soaked 

 stock. First-class stock, however, can 

 still be disposed of at a fair price. 



The supply of chrysanthemums has 

 been greatly augmented by the heat. 

 The quality, however, is far from what 

 it should be. There are too many 

 spots and brown petals in evidence. 

 The larger part of the receipts is made 

 up of Golden Glow. White mums, 

 though available, are not plentiful. 

 Dahlias are few, but the demand is 

 even weaker than the supply. While 

 quite popular in the east, the dahlia 

 has never been able to force itself into 

 public favor in this market. Perhaps 

 that may be attributed to the fact that 

 it has the reputation of being a poor 

 keeper. Gladioli may be found if they 

 are wanted. 



Valley continues scarce, though not 

 so short as it was a week ago, it 

 is still difficult for one wholesaler to 

 buy it of another. Cattleyas, too, are 

 on the short side of the market and 

 enjoy a fair demand. Easter lilies, 

 auratums and rubrums are in good sup- 

 ply and of excellent quality. They can 

 be moved, but the price must be low. 



Greens have experienced a complete 

 regeneration. They are clearing bet- 

 ter than for many weeks. Ferns have 

 been scarce for a day or two. 



Club Meeting. 



Though no regular program was 

 scheduled for the meeting of the Chi- 

 cago Florists' Club, September 9, unex- 

 pected events afforded, not only enter- 

 tainment and diversion, but informa- 

 tion as well. The rooms usually sub- 

 ject to the uses of the club were un- 

 dergoing redecorating, which resulted 

 in an adjournment to the well known 

 Berlin room. Eight here the entertain- 

 ment and distraction began. Owing 

 to the rumble of the drums and the 

 blare of the horns, it was with diffi- 

 culty that President Keimel could get

the meeting into business session. Per- 

 haps it was the music that inclined 

 everyone present to be facetious almost 

 to the point of jocularity, but at any 

 rate things moved so smoothly that 

 financial reports, committee reports and 

 general business were disposed of with 

 the regularity of a roll call and caused 

 as little excitement and but a trifle 

 more comment. 



The picnic committee delivered it- 

 self of a final report, and Michael Fink, 



chairman of the good of the club com- 

 mittee, was given a rising vote of 

 thanks for his earnest endeavors in 

 the past. Nicholas Miller, secretary of 

 the flower show committee, said he 

 would be pleased to receive suggestions 

 from any one relative to the premium 

 list, and reported on behalf of A. Hen- 

 derson, chairman of the trade space 

 committee, that the sale of space in 

 the Coliseum is progressing with a fair 

 degree of rapidity and urging those de-
