FANCY GIGANTEIMS 



P /i GTP D I 1 1 I F^ Never finer. While we always have been well situated to supply Lilies, this summer 

 *"'^'^ ■ *-■* *-l»-B*-i^ yfQ g^fg ijj better shape than ever before. These Lilies are grown in a cool climate, 

 giving keeping and shipping qualities exceeding anything we ever have had in Lilies. Cut half develoi>ed, so as to 

 reach you in perfect condition. 



GLADIOLI in All Colors 



We are prepared to furnish Augusta (white), Mrs. King (red) or America (light pink), separate cofors in any 

 quantity, or mixed unnamed varieties if wanted. This is fine stock— much better than the Glads that brought much 

 more money earlier in the season. Send along your orders— you can use this stock in quantity.

Beauties were a glut last week; not 

 that the supply was so large, but the 

 demand was extremely light. This week 

 conditions are slightly better. There 

 is so great an abundance of the Killar- 

 neys and Maryland of good quality that 

 prices even for the best have fallen. 

 The majority of the roses coming in are 

 short stock from young plants and 

 funeral flowers are now to be had at 

 the buyer's own price. 



Easter lilies are again in large sup- 

 ply and prices have returned to the 

 lower levels. Auratums continue plenti- 

 ful. There is an abundance of valley. 

 Few sweet peas are seen and daisies 

 are on the wane. Not many orchids 

 are coming in, but an abundance for all 

 orders. Rudbeckia is everywhere and 

 a few mums are seen. 



The call for greens is decidedly 

 light, so that prices are easier. There 

 is plenty of everything in the greens 

 department, except asparagus strings 

 and smilax, which are some days plenti- 

 ful and some days scarce. 



Club Meeting. 



The attendance at the club meetings 

 is increasing steadily this summer, in- 

 stead of going in the opposite direction, 

 as in most other summers. August 3 

 there was a big crowd, though there 

 was no special order of business. C. C. 

 Pollworth, of Milwaukee, and C. De 

 Wever, of St. Louis, were present. Mr. 

 Pollworth made application for mem- 

 bership and was elected on the spot, 

 amid much hilarity and good humored 

 joshing, for it was the first time the 

 rules ever had been suspended for such 

 a purpose. 



A. Zech reported on the annual pic- 

 nic, which, thanks to the good work of 

 the committee, was a financial success 

 in spite of bad weather. Mr. Zech also 

 reported for the bowling contingent, 

 stating that the team to represent the 

 club at Baltimore will consist of George 

 Asmus, P. Olsem, W. Wolf, C. W. Mc- 

 Kellar and John Zech. The club ap- 

 propriated $50 toward the expenses of 

 the bowling team. 



A. C. Kohlbrand moved that the De- 

 troit Florists' Club and the Milwau- 

 kee Florists' Club, which had indicated 



Why not sell your own stock 'i 

 We have the finest location in 

 the Chicago market and space 

 enough to accommodate sev- 

 eral growers selling their own 

 stock.
