another drop. The quality of the 

 gladioli also is much improved. The 

 bulk of the receipts are Mrs. King, Au- 

 gusta and America, the latter variety 

 being as yet none too plentiful. Thus 

 far there are scarcely any of the mixed 

 colors, the unnamed varieties that used 

 to constitute the bulk of the gladiolus 

 stock. Although the receipts have mul- 

 tiplied, gladioli still are selling well 

 for the season. 



Easter lilies have gone to the short 

 side, after having been abundant ever 

 since Easter. Late in the day, it some- 

 times is impossible to find lilies for or- 

 ders. There has been an increase in 

 the receipts of auratums, and this ap- 

 pears to be the one flower that is not 

 doing as well as in other summers. Bu- 

 brums also are abundant. Few good 



sweet peas are seen and Shasta daisies 

 are on the wane. 



The call for green goods is light. 

 There are more than adequate supplies 

 in practically all lines. The exception 

 appears to be galax, on which a short- 

 age is predicted. * 



The Picnic. 



In spite of the rain the Chicago 

 Florists' Club had an attendance at its 

 annual picnic practically as large as it 

 ever has had when the day was pleas- 

 ant. But there were two ladies for ev- 

 ery man! The event was at Ehrhardt's 

 grove. Park Kidge. The rain was so 

 continuous that indoor entertainments 

 were relied upon until about 4 o'clock, 

 when the weather cleared suflSciently to 

 permit holding the outdoor contests. 

 The events were as follows: 



Baseball game — Wholesalers, 17; Retailers, 11. 

 Girls' race, 6 years and under — L. Kohout, 

 first; H. Covert, second. ,
