ing of the present week there was a 

 sudden spurt in the call for white roses, 

 short white mostly. 



Hunt's Changes. 



It is announced that Paul M. Bryant 

 has purchased the controlling stock in- 

 terest in the E. H. Hunt corporation 

 from Mrs. Hunt and C. M. Dickinson, 

 Mr. Dickinson retiring from the man- 

 agement of the business. No other 

 changes are under contemplation. 



The house of Hunt is among the old- 

 est in the west. The business was 

 established in 1878, by E. H. Hunt, who 

 conducted it until his death, when the 

 management devolved upon Mrs. Hunt's 

 son, Mr. Dickinson. The business was 

 incorporated in 1906. Mr. Bryant came 

 into the business February 1, 1911, be- 

 coming secretary of the corporation. 

 He is a young man, full of vim, but of 

 conservative business training and well 

 equipped to carry on the development 

 of the property that now has come into 

 his control. 



Club Meeting. 



The severities of a zero night did not 

 serve to cut down the attendance at the 

 annual election of the Chicago Florists' 

 Club January 4, there being 171 mem- 

 bers in good standing present to exer- 

 cise the franchise. The meeting was 

 held at the Bismarck instead of the 

 Union, to get a larger hall. One of the 

 first things done was to elect the forty- 

 four new members whose names were 

 published last month, to give them the 

 right to vote. The balloting resulted 

 as follows: 



For president— P. J. Folev, 101; H. E. 

 Fhilpott, 68. 



For sergeant-at-arms — Michael Fink, 

 101; Geo. Goebel, 36; Geo. Grim, 13. 



Carl Cropp withdrew, leaving the 

 vice-presidency to D. A. Eobertson. 

 Secretary A. T. Pyfer and Treasurer 

 E. F. Winterson were without oppon- 

 ents and H. N. Bruns, E. C. Amling 

 and Walter Scott were the only nom- 

 inees for trustees, three to be elected. 



A. C, Kohlbrand occupied the chair 

 during the election, John Zech, Joseph 

 Foerster and George Asmus acting as 

 tellers. 



Mr. Philpott moved to make the 

 presidential choice unanimous and 

 President-elect Foley made a brief plea 

 for cooperation to make a big success 

 of the S. A. F. and H. E. Philpott gave

assurances of his assistance. During 

 Mr. Philpott 's year in the chair the 

 membership has increased more than in 

 any other year in the club's history, 

 ninety-one new members having been 

 elected, and the report of Treasurer 

 Winterson showed a balance of 

 $1,104.32. 



An offer from the Hotel La Salle of 

 free use of rooms for meetings was re- 

 ferred to the trustees. 



August Poehlmann moved to increase 

 the secretary's salary to $125 per year. 

 The chair asked to have it put in writ- 

 ing in the form of a resolution and in- 

 troduced at the next meeting. 



W. N. Eudd moved that all delin- 

 quents be put on the same basis by re- 

 bating all back dues in excess of $4. 

 After long discussion this was lost. 



Primula malacoides was exhibited by 

 Vaughan's Greenhouses and two splen- 

 did cattleya flowers by Chas. J. Bond. 



Visitors included C. C. Pollworth, 

 Milwaukee, and I. Kosnosky, Philadel- 

 phia, both of whom are members. 



Various Notes. 



There has been a great deal of stock, 

 both incoming and outgoing, frozen

low zero weather. Wholesalers, retail- 

 ers and growers all have had their trou- 

 bles. Among the growers, it has been 

 a struggle to keep from freezing up. 

 It is reported that the worst loss among 

 the growers has been sustained by A. E. 

 Hunt & Co., whose boiler gave out dur- 

 ing the cold weather. Mr. Hunt, who 

 has selling space on the floor with J. A. 

 Budlong and Sinner Bros., told Mr. 

 Sinner that it would be several months 

 before they would have anything more 

 to market. 



It is reported that John T. Muir has 

 leased a store, 17 x 31 feet, in the new 

 Goddard building to be erected at the 

 southwest corner of Wabash avenue and 

 Monroe street. The store ad.ioins the 

 entrance to the building and the lease, 

 which runs for ten years from the com- 

 pletion of the building at a tern^ rent
