Mr. Kill plans to return March 17, but 

 did not select the day because of its 

 associations with the shamrock. 



The annual meeting of the Flower 

 Growers' Market stockholders was called 

 for January 3, but a quorum did not at- 

 tend, so the meeting was postponed. 



Henry Payne, of Hinsdale, has been 

 experiencing a fuel famine for some little 

 time. Bassett & Washburn were down 

 to a week 's supply, but say cars now are 

 coming in every day. 



The January meeting of the Florists' 

 Club will be held at the Union restaurant 

 Thursday evening, January 6. Election

 are for secretary and trustees. 



After boring for months, Hoerber Bros, 

 struck rock in their well at Des Plaines 



at a depth of 380 feet. Eock usually 

 means water, so that they hope soon to be 

 able to dispense with the connection with 

 the public plant at Des Plaines. 



W. N. Rudd ceased to be secretary of 

 the S. A. F. January 1, but assumed the 

 less arduous duties of director. He says 

 he has enjoyed the secretaryship exceed- 

 ingly, but is glad to pass the job on to 

 another. During the last year fifty-two 

 life members were added to the rolls.

 Karins, representing Henry A. Dreer, 

 Philadelphia.

 day from her visit at Hatfield, Mass., 

 where her mother is ill.

 ten pink roses for every white one now 



in market, while the proportion should 

 be about three to one. 



Fritz Bahr's daughter, Mona, is quite 

 ill with typhoid fever. 



Charles Young, of C. Young & Sons 

 Co., St. Louis, is in town this week buy-
