er Growers' Association held a meet- 

 iiifj at the new store, 176 North Michi- 

 gan avenue, July 18. They expect to 

 have everything ready for the open- 

 ing, which Manager Frese has arranged

Ueorge Asmus, as president of the 

 S. A. i\, has sent the members of the 

 trade in Chicago and vicinity a letter 

 urging them to join the society and 

 support the Florists' Club's invitation 

 to hold the 1912 convention here. 



Miss M. C. (lunterberg spent sev- 

 eral days last week at Fennville, 

 Mich. 



A. L. Vaughan. of Vaughan & 

 Sperry, .says the present market is a 

 good illustration of the old saying 

 that "It's an ill wind that blows no- 

 body good." While the heat and 

 drought finished off the stock of some 

 growers, others are getting the advan- 

 tage of a fine market. 



The Northwestern Floral Co., Gross 

 Point, still is sending in an excellent 

 grade of carnations in considerable 

 quantity. Kyle & Foerster are their 

 selling agents. 



A. C. Kohlbrand, of the E. C. Am- 

 ling Co., is vacationing at Lone Tree 

 Point, Mich., where the fishing usually 

 is good. 



Tim Matchen reports that Peter 

 Keinberg is beginning to cut from a 

 good many houses of young roses. 

 Benching carnations is held uj) by dry 

 weather. 



The president of the S. A. F. has 

 been around a bit, but that didn't keej)

 never came back. The theft was com- 

 mitted for the nickels in the call-box. 

 The game was worked on seventeen 

 people before the telephone company 

 notified the police and the newspapers. 



W. E. Lynch is glazing his new 

 houses this week and will be ready 

 to. plant carnations soon. Two 100 

 horse-power boilers are in place and a 

 well 150 feet deep with a 5-inch bore 

 gives a fine supply of water. 



Miss Frances Brundage has returned 

 to her old post at E. H. Hunt's dur- 

 ing C. M. Dickinson's vacation, look- 

 ing much refreshed by her month 's 

 rest.

Poehlmann Brothers Co. reports re- 

 ceiving 265 cases of orchids this spring. 

 This gives them six houses of cattleyas 

 to cut from. The new houses, twenty- 

 six in number, each 27x250 feet, all 

 cement construction, are almost com- 

 pleted and planted and will give large 

 additional cuts from October on. This 

 company has gone extensively into the 

 new varieties of rosea, anticipating a 

 heavy call for young stock next season. 

 Carnation plants to the number of 

 320,000 will be benched this year, 

 180,000 being already housed and grow-

 are exceptionally fine and promise large 

 cuts. The selling department force will 

 be added to as soon as cuts increase. 

 Stock now is moving out fast.
