second crop from the young stock, 

 while those who planted later are cut- 

 ting their first crop. There is an ap- 

 preciable improvement in the quality, 

 due to the increased size of the pro- 

 ductive plants. Considerable quanti- 

 ties of My Maryland are again in the 

 market and Mrs. Jardine is once more 

 a factor. Kaiserin is not in large sup- 

 ply, but sells well, better than Bride 

 or White Killarney. The season for 

 Richmond to be in demand has not 

 yet arrived. 



The heavy rains within the week did 

 temporary damage to all outdoor stock, 

 but already the benefits are beginning 

 to be apparent. There are some 

 extremely fine asters in all colors 

 and they are selling excellently. Not 

 so many gladioli are seen and 

 America still holds the lead. Easter 

 lilies are in much lighter supply and 

 prices have advanced. Not many aura- 

 turns a''fl Been. Valley is abundant and 

 not yet m special request, although the 

 retailers say there will be many Sep- 



tember weddings. White chrysanthe- 

 mums are now available, as well as yel- 

 low. The better grade of mums is far- 

 ing a little more satisfactorily than was 

 the case in August. 



Smilax has gone on the short side 

 and there is a first-class demand for 

 asparagus strings. Wild smilax is now 

 available on a few days' notice. All 

 other greens are plentiful, fine adian- 

 tum being abundant. 



Club Meeting. 



George Asmus, president of the Chi- 

 cago Florists' Club and president-elect 

 of the S. A. F., was given an enthusi- 

 astic reception at the club meeting on 

 the night of September 1. President 

 Asmus and Mrs. Asmus had returned 

 specially from their vacation, and the 

 glad hand was the feature of the eve- 

 ning. One or two ventured the expres- 

 sion of regret that Chicago could not 

 have obtained the next convention as 

 well as the presidency. 



Secretary L. H. Winterson was ab- 



sent on his vacation and T. E. Waters 

 acted in his stead. There was a gen- 

 eral discussion of convention matters 

 and a report on the fall flower show, 

 which is to be held in the First Regi- 

 ment Armory the first full week in 

 November. Refreshments were served. 



Various Notes. 



Hoerber Bros, have developed 150 

 gallons per minute in the well at their 

 Des Plaines greenhouses. 



Leonard Kill is now secretary of the 

 Sterling Realty Co., at Los Angeles. 

 The office of the concern is just across 

 the street from the flower store of 

 Charles Morton, formerly of Chicago. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co., having cut 

 Golden Glow for some weeks, is now 

 cutting October Frost chrysanthemums, 

 much earlier than in other years. 



At J. A. Budlong's, Phil Schupp says 

 that practically every out-of-town buyer 

 who has been sent My Maryland calls 

 for it again and again.
