OHICAQO SPECIAI. PBEMIUMS; 



' A Fine Showing of Prizes. 



' All the plans for the Chicago Gi-aind 

 Floral Testival, to be held at the Coli- 

 seum, November 9 to 14, were fully dis- 

 ciissed in a half -day meeting of the 

 executive committee, held at the Morri- 

 son hotel, October 21, when A. Hender- 

 son, W. N. Eudd, W. J. Keimel, August 

 Poehlmann, N. J. Wietoi, E, F, Kurow- 

 sjii, Guy W. French, N. P. Miller, E. A. 

 Kanst, Payne Jennings, Robert Brenton, 

 J. H. Burdett, August Koch, James 

 Morton and M. Barker were in attend- 

 ance. The final premium list is in the 

 hands of the printers and will be ready 

 fpr mailing this week. Copies may be 

 had on application to Secretary N. P. 

 Miller, 179 North Wabash avenue, 

 Chicago. 



' An item of unusual interest is the 

 twenty-five silver cups being donated 

 by the greenhouse manufacturers of 

 Chicago. Instead of taking spao« in 

 the Coliseum annex, making trade ex- 

 hibits of greenhouses and greenhouse 

 appliance?, the same as is usually done 

 at the annual convention of the 

 S. A. F., the greenhouse manufacturers 

 of Chicago suggested that the space be 

 sold to others and that a contribution 

 be collected among the manufacturers 

 and donated to the show to be used as 

 prizes. Lord & Burnham Co., Foley 

 Mfg. Cd., Garland Mfg. Co., Ickes-Braun 

 Mill Co., A. Dietsch Co. and the John 

 C. Moninger Co. were represented at a 

 luncheon at the Grand Pacific hotel 

 October 13, at which a subscription 

 was taken and a fund of $500 was made 

 up for the purchase of silver cups. It 

 is expected that the action of the green- 

 house manufacturers in getting together 

 in this way and making a bulk con- 

 tribution will set a precedent for 

 others of the allied trades and the fu- 

 ture may bring more concerted action 

 in this direction. P. L. McKee was 

 given authority to collect the funds, 

 arrange for publicity and distribution 

 of the prizes. It is expected they will 

 be exhibited in one of the large stores 

 downtown prior to the opening of the 

 show. 



In addition to the handsome collec- 

 tion of cups donated by greenhouse con- 

 struction concerns in the vicinity of 

 Chicago, a large number of other spe-

The Guarantee Fund. 



In order to guard against such a mis- 

 fortune as might come with a week of 

 bad weather, the executive committee 

 some time ago started a guarantee fund 



iii charge of A. F. Poehlmann. It was 

 agreed that ten per cent of the net 

 profit of the show goes to the guaran- 

 tors in proportion as they subscribe for 

 same. The balance of the profit, if any, 

 goes equally to the Chicago Florists' 

 Chib and the Horticultural Society of 

 Chicago. Among those who had sub- 

 scribed October 20, were:
