Letters by Hfite. 



O. W. Frese, of Poehlmann Bros. Co., 

 calls attentiofi to the new service in- 

 augurated March 7, by both the Western 

 Union and Postal telegraph companies. 

 This is known as the "night letter 

 service," and enables anyone to send 

 fifty words or less at the same cost of 

 sending ten words at the regular day 

 rate. If more than fifty words are used, 

 the excess is charged at one-fifth of the 

 standard day rate for each additional ten 

 words or less. The understanding is that 

 tijiese night letters will be accepted at any 

 time for transmission during the follow- 

 ing night and for delivery the following 

 morning. 



This service should be of much value 

 to those who order cut flower shipments. 

 An order can be dispatched regularly 

 each night after the close of business and 

 be in the wholesaler's hands early the 

 following morning, merely at the cost of 

 one ten->word telegram. 



Club Dinner. 



Instead of its regular meeting, March 

 3, the Florists' Club gave a dinner at the 



Union restaurant, to which the ladies 

 were invited. Over 100 participated. 

 The main dining-room was used and the 

 service was at small tables, seating from 

 four to ten, each table having its share 

 of the many flowers donated by the 

 wholesalers. A course dinner was served, 

 with plenty of — ice-water. Later in the 

 evening there was an excellent musical en- 

 tertainment by semi-professional talent. 



The affair was arranged by a commit- 

 tee consisting of Duncan Hobertson, A. C. 

 Kohlbrand and H. N. Bruns, working 

 with the club's regular entertainment 

 committee, which consists of Herman 

 Schiller, Frank Pasternick and J. P. 

 Degnan. Their efforts were so success- 

 ful that everyone said that the club does 

 not have these affairs half often enough. 



Before dinner a brief business meet- 

 ing was held. Joseph Straus, of the A. 

 L. Bandall Co., was slated for election 

 to membership. In welcoming the ladies 

 and guests President Asmus said the 

 club is looking forward to the day when 

 it will have a home of its own. 



Various Notes. 



W. E. Lynch has been out among the 

 lily growers, not only those whose stock 

 is sold at E. H. Hunt's, but many others, 

 getting first hand evidence on the lily 



situation; and says the stock looks good 

 — some of it is short, but several called 

 on never had better lilies. 



E. C. Amling says that -^he small 

 growers who are making the successes 

 are those who specialize, doing some one 

 thing well and producing a quantity that 

 enables their stock to compete with that 

 of large growers. The buyers turn to the 

 stock that is available in good round 

 lots day after day. 



O. P. Bassett and Mr. and Mrs. E. B. 

 Washburn are now at Riverside, Cal. 



The marriage of Miss Ida Kroeschell, 

 daughter of William L. Kroeschell, of 

 Kroeschell Bros. Co., to Ernest von Am- 

 nion, took place March 3 at the family 

 residence at Winnetka. 



A. L. Sandall says he never has seen 

 single violets so abundant as this year. 

 He thinks a few such warm days as 

 March 4 and 5 will make a lot of differ- 

 ence with the Easter supply. 



N. J. Wietor holds up a Bride, taken 

 from a pile that all are equally long, and 

 remarks that White Killarney still has to 

 go some to get the field all to itself. How- 

 ever, Wietor Bros., like nearly all other 

 rose growers, are adding largely to their 

 plantings of White Killarney this season. 



August Poehlmann, president of the 

 American Eose Society, goes to New 

 York next week to preside for a second 

 time over a convention of that organiza- 

 tion. 



O. W. Johnson, for some years with 

 the Foley Mfg. Co., has removed to North 

 Tonawanda, having entered the employ of 

 the King Construction Co. 



Schultz Bros., at Park Ridge, had a 

 fire a few days ago, but escaped serious 

 loss. 



George Asmus and W. N. Rudd go to 

 Rochester, March 11, to attend the an- 

 nual meeting of the board of directors of 

 the S, A. F., of which they are mem- 

 bers. 



The republicans of the twenty-sixth 

 ward have not yet found a man who 

 wants to sacrifice himself by running
