Fitzgerald's orchestra. The grand 

 march was led by Charles Zapfe and 

 Miss Holmes and nearly 100 couples 

 were on the floor, with quite a number 

 of visitors who did not dance. The at- 

 tendance included a larger proportion of 

 young people than usual, so that several 

 extra numbers were called for, and fes- 

 tivities were at their height when the 

 home-going hour arrived. 



The club consists of fifteen members, 

 all of whom are employees in the local 

 wholesale stores. George Poehlmann is 

 president and John C. Enders secretary. 



Club Meeting. 



The Florists' Club held a special 

 meeting at the Union restaurant Octo- 

 ber 20. E. L. Schultz, Oak Park; Al. 

 Fischer, Balph Keese and F. S. Howard 

 were elected to membership. 



Flower show matters were up for dis- 

 cussion. President Asmus announced 

 that since last meeting he had ap- 

 pointed A. C. Kohlbrand, D. A. Robert- 

 son, Alex Henderson, Fred Lauten- 

 schlager and W. N. Budd as the com- 

 mittee on banquet and called for a re- 

 port. The committee stated that the 

 La Salle hotel had been selected as the 

 place for the annual festivities, at 6:30 

 p. m. Thursday, November 10, all out- 

 of-town florists and their ladies to 

 be guests, local people to provide them- 

 selves with tickets at $3 each. The 

 qlub ratified the arrangement. 

 ■ The bowlers now are planning to' give 

 their bftU Friday evening at the flower 

 show. All show arrangements were re- 

 ported progressing splendidly; a fine 

 show is assured. The club will run the 

 flower booth, as usual, in charge of H. 

 E. Philpott, assisted by E. F. Winter- 

 son, Herman Schiller, Jas. Curran, H. 

 N. Bruns, A. I. Simmons, W. H. Kid- 

 well, Frank Pasternick and volunteers. 

 The retreat in the basement will be 

 operated in charge of Walter Scott, as- 

 sisted by T. E. Waters, T. C. Yarnall 

 and E. F. Winterson, who, as club 

 treasureij gets in on everything.

 the natural— why not you ? 



They're artificial, but different from any 



you have ever seen before. 



Handsome, original, natural, satisfying.

Various Notes. 



E. E. Pieser has an exceedingly bad 

 index finger on his billing hand. The 

 doctor tells him that it is as much the 

 fault of the store attempts to dig out 

 the rose thorn as it is the poisoning by 

 the thorn itself. 



Among the not-often-seen mums now 

 in market the variety W. T. McNiece 

 is well thought of at the store of Poehl- 

 mann Bros. Co. O. W. Frese says it ia 

 the best pink of the season. It is an 

 imported variety, sent out by Hill and 

 Smith some six years ago. The color 

 was then described as rosy lilac. 



Bassett & Washburn speak highly of 

 the yellow mum, Crocus, saying that 

 right through the unprecedented glut of 

 mums this variety has brought them 

 25 cents for every flower cut. 



E. H. Hunt is putting on extra help 

 in the supply department to keep orders 

 going out promptly. 



Kyle & Foerster say they have not 

 been able to find fault with the de- 

 mand, even through the glut; there 

 were as many sales as ever, and larger, 

 but prices were so low it did not run 

 into large money. 



Joseph F. Pfeflfer is the latest addi- 

 tion to the staflf of Welland & Risch. 



Aphine has passed beyond the 

 experimental stage. Men whose 

 opinions are highly regarded among 

 floriculturists concede it to be one 

 of the best insecticides ever placed 

 on the market. 



A trial will convince you.
