usually light since Memorial day; it 

 has been almost impossible to move 

 the receipts. The stock gave such poor 

 satisfaction when shipped in the ex- 

 treme heat last month that buyers are 

 afraid to tackle carnations — the orders 

 call for peonies, roses, sweet peas and 

 valley. Orchids have become less 

 abundant, and it is wisdom to place 

 orders in advance. There is plenty of 

 valley. Sweet peas have improved in 

 quality, but it is said the season will 

 be short; outdoor peas already are ar- 

 riving. Gladioli are abundant and sell- 

 ing cheaper. 



Asparagus strings have joined smilax 

 as among the few items in short sup- 

 ply. Not many southern ferns have 

 arrived and the cold storage stock gen- 

 erally is extremely poor. 



The general opinion is that season- 

 ably cool weather will result in a 

 prompt increase in demand and that 

 business should be good all through 

 June. As stock is being thrown out 

 rapidly, supplies are going down quite 

 fast, and those who are able to cut 

 really good stock look forward to a 

 prosperous three weeks. 



Weather in May. 



According to an official report, the 

 month was the warmest May expe- 

 rienced in Chicago since the local 

 weather office was established in 1871. 

 In fact, all records were broken, not 

 only for the extremes of heat, but also 

 for the highest average temperature. 

 There were six days with temperature 

 90 degrees or above, and the readings 

 were above normal almost continuously 

 after the first few days in the month. 

 While the temperature was close to 

 freezing May 2, with a fall of snow, 

 the temperature reached or exceeded 

 94 degrees May 25, 26 and 27. The 

 percentage of sunshine, seventy-nine 

 per cent, also was greater than bb- 

 serred during any previous May. The 

 rainfall, however, was exactly normal, 

 although not well distriibuted. 



Club Meeting. 



Forty-one members of the Chicago 

 Florists' Club made the trip to Mil- 

 waukee June 1 for a joint meeting with 

 Uif Milwaukee Florists' Club. The

 made the trip on express time. Presi- 

 dent Philpott had seen to it that there 

 were refreshments on the car, which 

 was decked out with the club's ban- 

 ners. On arrival at Milwaukee the two 

 clubs went into joint session at the 

 Blatz hotel. H. V. Hunkel^ pfeaident 

 of the Milwaukee club, called Ihe meet- 

 ing to order, but on motion of Mr. Dal- 

 wig the Chicago officers were placed in 

 charge of the meeting. C. C. Poll- 



worth made an address of we\co|ne, 

 and President "Philpott cut the'rouline 

 as much as possible to give opportunity 

 for speech-making. W. J. Keimel, of 

 Wendland & Keimel,^ Elmhurst, HI., 

 read an excellent paper* on rose grow- 

 ing. At 10 o'clock svpper was served 

 ifor nearly eighty people. It was 12 

 'o'clock before the meeting closed and 

 12:30 before the special car started on 

 the return trip to Chicago. Most of 

 those who went reached their homes
