what it is during the busy season, still 

 Chicago never has had more or better 

 flowers in August than have been on 

 display this week. Possibly this does 

 not apply to white roses, Beauties or 

 asters, the low grades of the latter pre- 

 dominating. The supply of pink roses 

 is strong and the visitors also have 

 found much of interest in the newer 

 varieties of roses, which this season will 

 be in large supply and which are just 

 beginning to come onto the market in 

 some quantity. As a result of the con- 

 vention, many who have not heretofore 

 used Chicago flowers will handle them 

 this season. 



Various Notes. 



The Chicago Florists' Club Ix' 1 a 

 special meeting August 15, at the L'mon 

 restaurant, with an attendance of fifty 

 members. Complete reports were made 

 of convention arrangements, which now 

 are a matter of history. John Young, 

 secretary of the S. A. F., was present 

 and talked on society affairs. G. L. 

 Grant told of the first Chicago conven- 

 tion, a quarter of a century ago. Two 

 new members were elected, E. Faren- 

 wald, who is with the Foley Mfg. Co.,

 Minn.

John Eeardon, now of Ames, la., has 

 been renewing acquaintances here for 

 the last fortnight. 



A. Henderson & Co. received a car 

 shipment of Chinese lily bulbs this week 

 and the shipping force is busy with 

 their distribution. A. Henderson re- 

 ports that the present call for these 

 will exhaust the supply if it keeps up. 



A surprise was in store for the trade 

 when A, L. Vaughan, of A. L. Vaughan 

 & Co., gave out the information that 

 W. E. Lynch had become a member of 

 the store f»teff. Mr. Lynch is well 

 known to tq3 trade, having been man-
