President Foley named W. N. Eudd, 

 Guy French and C. F. McCormick as 

 the committee to revise the by-laws. 

 W. N. Eudd and J. C. Vaughan were 

 named as a committee on resolutions on 

 the death of E. A. Wood. 



A. L. Eandall, E. P. Eoy, S. G. Ander- 

 son, G. Eaedlein and J. W. Page were 

 proposed for membership. 



H. B. Dorner, of Urbana, was present 

 and spoke interestingly of the experi- 

 mental work for floriculture being done 

 at the State University. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. staged a number 

 of cut blooms of cattleyas of notably 

 fine quality, for which a rising vote of 

 thanks was accorded. 



Various Notes. 



E. B. Washburn was best man and 

 Mrs. Washburn was matron of honor at 

 the wedding at Eiverside, June 10, of 

 Miss Marjorie Story and L. E. Freer. 

 The bride is Mrs. Washburn's younger 

 sister and the groom is one of Mr. Wash- 

 burn 's old college chums. 



The Cook County Florists' Associa- 

 tion has arranged to hold its next meet-, 

 ing Thursday evening, June 20, at The 

 Tavern, 176 West Washington street, 

 where dinner will be served, Dutch 

 treat. 



C. W. McKellar is gradually getting 



his new store into first-class shape. A 

 new desk for the office is the latest 

 improvement. 



A. L. Eandall and Frank Johnson are 

 in New York this week. 



Henry Wittbold has the decoration at 

 the Coliseum for the Eepublican conven- 

 tion. 



O. Johnson now estimates the sea- 

 son 's cut of peonies, by the Batavia 

 Greenhouse Co., as 200,000 blooms, two- 

 thirds of which are expected to go into 

 cold storage. All hands have been 

 working night and day for nearly a 

 fortnight. 



Miss L. A. Tonner, of the A. L. Ean- 

 dall Co., is just back from a week's 

 trip to southern Georgia, where she has 

 invested in pecan lands. 



G. Eeburn, of A. Henderson & Co., 

 has returned from a trip east on which 

 he combined business and pleasure. 



Klehm 's Nurseries have practically 

 completed the peony cut. Peterson's 

 Nursery began June 10. Last week and 

 this week peonies have come into the 

 market heavier than ever before. Great 

 quantities are going into storage. It is 

 thought that by the end of this week 

 the freezer will contain more peonies 

 than at any other one time in the his- 

 tory of the peony in this market.

shipped in a refrigerator car of peonies 

 last week, and this week expects to 

 have another carload exclusively of the 

 variety Eichardson's Eubra Superba. 



N. J. Wietor says that Wietor Bros, 

 already have 60,000 carnation plants on 

 the benches and that planting still is 

 going on steadily. They grow some of 

 practically all varieties under glass all 

 summer. 



Geo. C. Weiland says that this is a 

 busy month at Evanston, but that it is 

 a mistaken notion that the people there 

 are free spenders. He says the com- 

 mencement bouquets are numerous but 

 not costly. 



Because of the lack of cooling facili- 

 ties at the greenhouses, Peter Eeinberg 

 is shipping his stock frqsh cut to the 

 store, with wagons arriving at 11 a. m. 

 and 5 p. m. 



A. C. Spencer, at Kyle & Foerster's, 

 says he is not only satisfied with the
