 count of the long spike, this makes the 

 ideal cemetery vase. It will please not 

 merely because of its fine appefirance, but 

 its obviously serviceable qualities. There 

 is a nice profit in this vase, and your cus- 

 tomers will surely feel they are getting 

 their money's worth.

Betailers' Association. 



The monthly meeting of the Retail 

 Florists' Association was held Monday 

 evening, May 4, at 170 West Jackson 

 boulevard. Nearly fifty members were 

 present and several wholesalers were 

 represented by displays of various arti-

 As each member entered he was pre- 

 sented with a ticket which entitled him 



to a chance to win one of the four 

 prizes. The winners were as follows: 

 Geo. Walther carried oflf the hamper 

 donated by the A. L. Randall Co.; A. F. 

 Keenan won a box of candy presented 

 by his neighbor, J. H. McNeilly; Fred 

 Krai won a ribbon case donated by 

 Wertheimer Bros., and W. L. Palinsky 

 won the hamper given by the Raedlein

 Mothers' day box. A buffet lunch was 

 served. The meeting was addressed by 

 L. G. Reese and H. Swenson, of the Mc-

the club appropriate a sum to be ex- 

 pended in the Chicago newspapers in 

 advertising the use of all flowers for 

 Mothers' day.
