SPRINGFIELD, ILL. 



Club Meeting. 



The regular meeting of the Springfield 

 Florists' Club, held Monday, February 

 10, brought out an attendance of sixteen 

 members. The coming convention of the 

 Illinois State Florists' Association was 

 the one topic discussed and all hoped for 

 a record-breaking attendance. The vari- 

 ous committees which have charge of the 

 flower show and trade exhibit are work- 

 ing hard to make this a successful ex- 

 hibition, and from the list of exhibits 

 promised, they will not be disappointed. 

 This will be a good opportunity for 

 western florists to see the novelties and 

 prize-winners of the Washington carna- 

 tion show, as they will practically all be 

 here, in addition to novelties in roses 

 and other stock. Boiler and florists' 

 supply men will be large exhibitors at 

 this show, as a dozen or more have re- 

 served space in the hall. 



Springfield is easily reached by all 

 railroads and inter-urban lines and this 

 should help to bring out a good crowd. 

 The local club will give a banquet to the 

 visitors Tuesday evening, February 18, 

 at 9 o'clock, at the St. Nicholas hotel. 

 Prominent men of this and neighboring 

 states are on the program to respond to 

 toasts and the club will do its best to 

 give everyone an enjoyable evening.

State of Trade. 



Business is going quietly, with plenty 

 of stock to go around. In fact, every 

 day finds stock left over, especially bulb- 

 ous stuff, which has not moved nearly so 

 well or commanded the prices of other 

 years. Boses move fairly well at $8, $10 

 and $12 per hundred for the best, but 

 with cheaper grades most in demand. 

 Violets fetch 60 cents. Carnations go at 

 from $2.50 to $4 for good stuflf, the 

 poorer grades of course going for less, 

 but, now the days are lengthening, we

The Trade Organizes. 



The Eochester florists met February 3 

 and adopted a new scale of prices for 

 bedding stock and also formed an organ- 

 ization to be known as the Commercial 

 Florists' Association of Rochester. The 

 officers elected were: President, Fred H. 

 Vick; vice-president, F. J. Keller; sec- 

 retary-treasurer, George B. Hart. The 

 meeting was well attended and all seemed 

 enthusiastic as to the future of the asso- 

 ciation. At the next meeting it is pro- 

 posed to have on exhibition some of the 

 new carnations, which will be discussed
