Our Florists' Supply Department, Jan. 1, 1906 



L. A. Toiiner, who will have charge of this department and who is so well known to all the florists 

 of the west as an experienced judge and careful buyer of florists' supplies, is now in the east visiting 

 the manufacturers and selecting the goods for this department, which we open January 1, 1906. It will 

 pay you to hold your order for our new and carefully selected stock. 



A. L. RANDALL CO., i9-2i Randolph St., CHICAGO 



number of members present. Our flower 

 show committee reports that from a 

 financial point of view our show.s will 

 be a success. It was decided that special 

 efforts be made to make our February 

 rose show a fine one this year, and all 

 growers of roses were extended a hearty 

 invitation to send exhibits. The growers 

 of new varieties are especially requested 

 to stage blooms. 



E. Witterstaetter had on exhibition 

 for the society's certificate a vase of his 

 new carnation, Aristocrat, it was in 

 especially fine form and the committee, 

 B. P. Critchell and E. G. Gillett, who 

 passed upon it, recommended that if it 

 scored equally well at our March meet- 

 ing, it be given a certificate. 



After the regular routine of business 

 was over the society went into the dis- 

 cussion of ways and means of booming 



the florists' industry in this city. Every- 

 one present ha,d some ideas on the sub- 

 ject and at our next meeting, in Janu- 

 ary, action will be taken along the most 

 approved lines. One of the most favor- 

 ably talked of plans was that of giving 

 a big banquet on the night of onr an- 

 nual carnation show, which falls upon 

 March 10 next year. Invitations will 

 be sent out to florists of all cities within 

 reach and a hearty welcome will be given 

 ail comers. They will have an opportu- 

 nity cf viewing our carnation show, also 

 of seeing some of our greenhouse plants 

 and learning some of the possibilities of 

 the flower trade in this city. At our next 

 r.ooting the matter will be gone over 

 more c;;refully and action will be taken. 



Various Notes. 



Wm. Murphy is quite a different-look- 



ing fellow now, and unless you look close 

 you may pass him by. It is all caused 

 by shaving off his mustache. 



Visiters are James Hartshorne and 

 •Mr. Jensen, of Joliet, 111., who were tak- 

 ing <n look at the productions of our car- 

 nation breeders; Chas. Dieterich, of 

 M.-iysville, Ky., and Miss White, of Lex- 

 ington, Ky., both buying Christmas sup- 

 plies. C. J. Ohmer. 



The Review will send Smith's Chrys- 

 anthemum Manual on receipt of 25 cents. 



Sharon, Pa. — Fred W. Heinz, man- 

 ager of the Heinz Greenhouses, added a 

 house 12x75 for bedding plants. 



MiSHAWAKA, IND.— C. L. Powell has 

 a window in a down-town candy store 

 for the display and sale of his stock.
