We wish you a prosperous New Year. But, we do 

 more than wish it for you. We can help you make it 

 so if you will give us your shipping business. 



This is an age of specialists. We do nothing but 

 grow flowers for the shipping trade and we sell no 

 flowers except to that trade. Every inch of our space 

 and every person in our employ is utilized for that one 

 purpose. We know the seasons and we know what it 

 requires for each season, and the kind of service florists 

 desire at those times, and in this Holiday season we 

 have made every preparation to meet those require- 

 ments and fill those desires. 



Whatever you want or whatever you want to pay 

 for it, send us your order.

lions, like roses, demand a good price for 

 fancy and special stock. In fact, every 

 grade of carnations is selling well and 

 generally cleaned up early each day in 

 all varieties. Violets have been very 

 plentiful, especially Californias, -which 

 were sold cheaply. These will go up to 

 $2 per hundred by the end of the week. 

 They will be in good supply for Christ- 

 mas. Bulbous stock will be plentiful, but 

 lilies are and will be scarce. Holly and 

 ground-pine are having a big call. 



Monday the supply was below the aver- 

 age. No doubt the growers were holding 

 off for later in the week. 



Qub Meeting. 



The last regular meeting of the year 

 was held December 14, in the new meet- 

 uig hall, nineteen members being present, 

 ihe flower show committee made a 

 *"?u ^ report, showing that the expense 

 ot the show was $3,526.40 and the re- 

 ceipts $3,792.40. The latter includes the 

 subscriptions from guarantors, who re- 



ceived back forty per cent of their sub- 

 scription. The guarantors' fund was 

 $865, making an actual loss of $419. The 

 committee was discharged with a vote of 

 thanks. 



The committee on constitution and by- 

 laws reported that the incorporation 

 papers were ready to sign. W. H. Kruse 

 was elected to membership. The trustees 

 presented a list of discussions for the 

 year, two for each month. Swan Peter- 

 son, of Gibson City, 111., was present and 

 made a few remarks when called upon, 

 Mr. Peterson had on exhibition a vase of 

 his crimson seedling carnation, very fine, 

 much lighter than the famous Harlowar- 

 den. President Ammann also had a vase 

 of extra fine scarlet seedlings. 



The following is the list of discus- 

 sions for the new year: Beginning with 

 the January meeting, the first discussion 

 will be lead by Carl Beyer, on "Forcing 

 Easter Plants'." The second, for the 

 same meeting, is on " Managing a
