sorts are simply immovable. There are 

 now some fine longiflorum lilies, which 

 sell well. Auratums are nearly over. 

 Valley has a good market. Dahlias are 

 offered, but are not in much request. 



The Crystal Palace. 



Ben F. Rubel, proprietor of the 

 Fleischman Floral Co., has finished his 

 season's alterations. No. 5 has been 

 added to No. 3 Jackson boulevard, and 

 the double store entirely redecorated. 

 The walls are covered with mirrors, the 

 same as in the old Fleischman store on 

 State street. Mr. Rubel says they have 

 ways of doing business all their own, 

 and that he wants his store different 

 from other flower stores. Certainly there 

 is none other like it in town. The fit- 

 tings are probably the most expen- 

 sive in the west. While the store will 

 undoubtedly attract many people, some 

 retailers believe that such decorations, 

 while they might not convince the pub- 

 lic that one could be sure of getting 

 first-class stock within, would not fail to 

 convey the idea that first-class prices 

 would be charged. There is an opening 

 in progress all of this week. 



The Horticultural Society Dinoer. 



The executive committee of the Hor- 

 ticultural Society of Chicago entertained 

 about forty people at dinner at the 

 Union restaurant on the evening of Sep- 

 tember 16. The purpose was to present 

 to the winners the society 's silver med- 

 als, which have been so long in course 

 of preparation. Some forty of these 

 medals are now ready, and seem well 

 Avorth working and waiting for. The de- 

 sign is excellent. 



Following the presentation of the 

 medals to those of the winners who were 

 present, there was a general discussion 

 regarding the coming show, with free 

 expression of opinion by all present, 

 with the result that there seems suffi- 

 cient support pledged to insure the suc- 

 cess of the autumn exhibition. 



Following the general talk, there was 

 a meeting of the executive committee to 

 arrange early details. George Asmus 

 was appointed manager, as usual. J. C. 

 Vaughan was instructed to go ahead with 

 poster and program and authorized to 

 appoint all necessary committees for 

 show work. The Coliseum has been 

 leased for a show opening Wednesday, 

 November 6 and continuing to include 

 Tuesday, November 12. 



Qub Meetin£. 



Th^re was an attendance of about 

 twenty members at the meeting of the 

 Florists' Club Thursday evening, Sep- 

 tember 12. Routine business was dis- 

 patched with promptness. A committee 

 consisting of J. C. Vaughan, Andrew 

 McAdams and P. J. Hauswirth was ap- 

 pointed to prepare resolutions upon the 

 death of Flint Kennicott. 



Upon the request of Treasurer Edgar 

 Sanders to be relieved of his duties, the 

 trustees were directed to select an as- 

 sistant treasurer and the secretary was 

 instructed to express to Mr. Sanders the 

 club's sympathy and hope for the res- 

 toration of the failing strength which 

 makes his request seem necessary. 



The applications of John Van der 

 Wal, S. B. Fischer and Frank Beu were 

 received. Mr. A'^an der Wal was present 

 as a guest and brought up the subject of 



the expediency of wholesalers declining 

 to handle the stock of growers of sum- 

 mer flowers who are not regularly en- 

 gaged in the florists' business and whose 

 product comes in competition with those 

 whose livelihood is wholly obtained from 

 the trade. A long and lively discussion 

 ensued, in which it appeared to be the 

 opinion of the smaller growers, who 

 largely are dependent upon outdoor 

 crops for the season's profit, that out- 

 side competition should be restricted, 

 but, on the other hand, many took a 

 broader view and argued that as "great 

 oaks from little acorns grow," so da 

 large trade institutions sometimes de- 

 velop from small and amateurish begin- 

 nings. While it was pointed out that 

 there was no possibility of the club tak- 

 ing action in any such matter affecting 

 the welfare or interests of any part or 

 parts of the club membership, the sub- 

 ject is one of such interest that it was 

 made a special order for discussion at 

 the November meeting. 



C. F. Wood, of Louisville, and J. G. 

 Morley, superintendent of parks of Los 

 Angeles, were present and each spoke- 

 briefly. 



J. S. Wilson, of Vaughan 's Green- 

 houses, Western Springs, exhibited a 

 vase of the Red Kaiserin rose. Presi- 

 dent Bruns appointed a committee, con- 

 sisting of F. Fischer, George Asmus and 

 W. L. Palinsky, to examine it. They re- 

 ported that the variety seems to have a 

 promising commercial future. 



Various Notes. 



As showing how good a summer mar- 

 ket we have had, August Poehlmann says 

 that the August sales of the Poehlmann
