ferior flowers in with good stock and 

 then dispose of them at fancy prices, 

 was also thoroughly discussed, and I'll 

 bet that many of the growers present 

 went home with good resolutions to try 

 and do better, being convinced that it is 

 to their own interests as well as the 

 business in general. 



The "Christmas Green" question was 

 also brought up; most retailers seem 

 to have handled but very little this 

 year and that at a very small profit. As 

 soon as it was known that ground pine 

 would be scarce the local papers got ahold 

 of it and seemed to have scared out the 

 few prospective buyers. This is another 

 evil that we ought to try to prevent. 



Subtracting from all this small profit 

 the expenses that are necessarily in- 

 curred through the hiring of so much 

 extra help, there is little else but that 

 tired feeling left for the poor florist 

 after Christmas, and, as one member put 

 it, "It is with tears in his eyes that he 

 thinks of the next Christmas." 



After announcing the subject for dis- 

 cussion for the next meeting, Wednesday, 

 February 7, "Wholesale House Criti- 

 cisms," the meeting was adjourned. 



Various Notes. 



Many pretty novelties in cork bark 

 ware are shown in Sullivan's windows. 



E. A. Fetter's window shows the many 

 uses to which colored mats so readily 

 adapt themselves. 



A very complete collection of dwarf 

 Japanese evergreens is the center of at- 

 traction in Breitmeyer 'a windows. 



B. Scbroeter has on exhibition a fine 

 lot of azaleas. 



Taepke's seems to be carnation head- 

 quarters in this city. 



The L. Bemb Floral Co. has added a 

 fine gilt letter sign to its already com- 

 plete equipment. 



Hugo Schroeter is attending the con- 

 vention at Boston. 



Visitors: Arnold Ringier, of Chicago, 

 and J. G. Hayden, of Milwaukee.

 paper clipping which we take pleasure in
