are so low, the growers quickly will be- 

 gin the work of replanting the worn out 

 stock and, therefore, supplies will be 

 greatly reduced. The same process out 

 in the country will tend to stimulate the 

 demand and it is thought that the glut 

 will be of short duration. We shall 

 have no period of high prices, but there 

 will be some stability to the market be- 

 fore a great many days have passed. 



New ferns have reached this market 

 and the scarcity in this department is at 

 an end. 



Albert Amling Incorporates. 



The Albert F. Amling Co., Maywood, 

 has been incorporated with $50,000 cap- 

 ital stock, by Albert F. Amling, Wil- 

 liam Collatz and Caroline Amling. Mr. 

 Collatz is a grower and neighbor of 

 Albert F. Amling. It is reported that 

 the Collatz place will be taken over by 

 a brother of Albert F. and E. C. Am- 

 ling, from Milwaukee, who has been 

 planning to go into the greenhouse 

 business, and that Mr. Collatz will 

 actively join Albert F. Amling, becom- 

 ing the grower in charge of the plant. 

 Mr. Amling has several outside inter- 

 ests, being vice-president of the May- 

 wood bank, etc. 



Qub Meeting. 



Considering that this is an exception- 

 ally busy season, there was an excellent 

 attendance at the club meeting June 13. 

 The amendment to the by-laws, changing 

 the date of election, was carried. Nomi- 

 nation now comes in December, election 

 in January and the new officers will take 

 hold in February. 



In discussing the plant trade for this 



season, J. F. Klimmer, of Oak Park, 

 says it has been most satisfactory and 

 he thinks that when he gets through the 

 total will be ahead of last year. He 

 said it was hard to get geraniums in 

 bloom. He had a quantity of forget- 

 me-nots and stocks outside which did 

 not come into bloom on account of late 

 hard frosts and he figures that he is 

 out about $500 on this account. Mr. 

 Fischer, of Evanston, expressed himself 

 as being well satisfied with the season's 

 plant trade and thinks it is not all over 

 yet; others spoke in the same vein. 



Mr. Fischer proposed a picnic and 

 Mr. Waters put it in the form of a mo- 

 tion, which was carried. August Poehl- 

 mann invited the club to hold its pic- 

 nic at Morton Grove and the club voted 

 to accept. The president appointed as 

 a picnic committee, J. C. Vaughan, T. 

 E. Waters, August Poehlmann, George 

 Asmus, A. I. Simmons, H. E. Klunder, 

 and Ed Enders. 



The Bose Society affairs were re- 

 ported hanging fire pending some con- 

 clusion as to just how general an affair 

 the March show can be made. 



Adjournment was to September, but 

 there will doubtless be a special meeting 

 just before the S. A. F. convention. 



Lyrata Sprays. 



John T. Muir calls attention to the 

 effectiveness of Lyrata sprays as used 

 in his decoration for the Swift-Fitzger- 

 ald wedding at the St. James church 

 and the Kenwood Club. He used eigh- 

 teen cases of this green as a substitute 

 for wild smilax and has no regret that 

 the latter green is now practically out 

 of the mai-ket for the season. Tlie cut 



stock used in the decoration was prin- 

 cipally white peonies and yellow roses. 

 Quite a number of palms, of course, 

 were called for. 



Carnation Plants. 



J. P. Brooks, of Morton Grove, says 

 that he is not at all sure of the pros- 

 pects for carnation crops for the good 

 market which usually comes early in the 

 autumn. He says that although his stock 

 was planted in the field at least as early 

 as any in this vicinity, and appears to 

 have escaped all damage by frost, still 

 the plants have stood practically still 

 and are nowhere near as large as they 

 were at this date last year. He says 

 the stock is not at all in need of top- 

 ping at the present time, while last year 

 he had topped practically every plant by 

 June 10. He looks for the plants to be 

 distressingly small by the usual date 

 of housing, although this warm weather 

 will make them jump. 



Various Notes. 



C. O. Erickson, at Glen Ellyn, has 

 about 8,000 feet of glass which he de- 

 votes entirely to carnations, only two 

 varieties, Boston Market and Lawson. 

 He expressed himself as well satisfied 

 with the season. Next year he will have 

 a few Enchantress and a few White Per- 

 fection, but he does not believe in grow- 

 ing a large list of sorts. 



The telephone company, in its efforts 

 to gain support for its proposed fran- 

 chise, has been publishing the numbers 

 of flat rate telephones, charges for 

 which will be reduced under the meas- 

 ured rate plan. The numbers of some 

 of the builders, boiler-makers, etc., have
