teresting meeting on Thursday after- 

 noon, November 9, in its rooms in Odd 

 Fellows' hall. The meeting was noted 

 for the large attendance of both mem- 

 bers and visitors. Prominent among 

 them were: President Geo. Asmug and 

 President-elect R. Vincent, Jr., of the 

 S. A. P.; President Philpott and Secre- 

 tary Pyfer, of the Chicago Florists' 

 Club; President Elmer D. Smith and 

 President-elect C. H. Totty, of the 

 Chrysanthemum Society; Vice-Presi- 

 dent-elect August Poehlmann, of the S. 

 A. F.; A. F. J. JBaur, secretary of the 

 Carnation Society; Secretary Johnson 

 and Vice-President-elect Wallace Pier- 

 son, of the Chrysanthemum Society, and 

 J. F. Ammann, secretary of the Illinois 

 State Florists' Association. 



President Robert J. Windier opened 



the meeting at 3 o'clock, with Mr. Phil- 

 pott at his right and R. Vincent, Jr., 

 at his left. Every seat in the big hall 

 was taken. A few remarks from some 

 of the visitors, called upon by the chair, 

 were then heard, but some of the best 

 speakers were reserved for the after- 

 dinner talks. 



After adjournment the members and 

 guests were escorted to Lippe's cafe 

 for dinner, at which eighty-three were 

 seated. At the close of a good, sub- 

 stantial feast, with cigars for the finish, 

 J. F. Ammann, who was elected toast- 

 master, said that he would call on some 

 of the visitors for talks. President 

 Windier made the address of welcome 

 and was followed by Messrs. Totty, 

 Smith, Asmus, Vincent, Foley, Baur, 

 Pierson, Balsley, Mann, Poehlmann and 



Ammann, who made some great talks 

 for the good of the S. A. F., the florists ' 

 clubs and our profession. Then all in 

 attendance were taken in a body to 

 the Coliseum, where the flower show 

 was being held. 



Various Notes. 



C. H. Totty and W. H. Duckham, the 

 eastern mum kings, were with us last 

 week. They are almost inseparable 

 companions and two finer gentlemen 

 would be hard to find. Their cut stock 

 was featured during the week. 



Last week quite a few florists from 

 outside the city were here, attracted 

 by the flower show. They were enter- 

 tained by the local craft with a ban- 

 quet at the American hotel on Wednes- 

 day evening, and a dinner at Lippe's
