brought better prices than heretofore. 

 The pink peas far outnumbered all 

 other colors combined. Spanish iris has 

 made its appearance and some excel- 

 lent stock is being shipped in, but as 

 yet the supply is irregular and what 

 comes in is readily sold to the city 

 buyers, who are always on the lookout 

 for novelties. The usual spring de- 

 ma'nd for valley has taken care of all 

 the stock that local growers can fur- 

 nish and the prices obtained are con- 

 sistent with the spirited market. Stocks 

 are in good supply, while the first ship- 

 ment of gladioli has been reported by 

 one wholesale house. Violets are 

 about done for this season and bulb- 

 ous stock is not in large supply. 



Green? have not changed, except that 

 f^rns are irregular, but there is more 

 wild smilaik on the market than for the 

 last fortnight, due to the fact that 

 the southern shippers are again able 

 to get their shipments through.. 



In Englewood. 



This season's building operations in 

 Englewood will cause the removal of 

 two of the .old-time florists of that 

 suburb. The store occupied by William 

 W.- Weil, at the corner of Sixty-third 

 strjset and Harvard avenue, will soon 

 be "torn down, along with some neigh- 

 bortng buildings, to make room for the 

 erection of a large business block. Mr. 

 Weil, therefore, has secured a five- 

 year lease on an attractive brick store 

 at 421 West Sixty-third street, a lit- 

 tle less than two blocks west of his 

 present location, and will move there 

 about May 1. During his seven years 

 in business at the Harvard avenue cor- 

 ner he has established a large trade 

 among a desirable class of patrons, 

 nearly all of whom undoubtedly will 

 follow him to his new place. 



George Walther's store, at Sixty- 

 third street and Eggleston avenue, 

 must also be vacated early in the sum- 

 mer, to permit rebuilding, but Mr. Wal- 

 ther has not yet decided whether to

 find a temporary shelter and return 

 to the old stand after a few months, 

 when the rebuilding is completed. He 

 has greenhouses at the family home- 

 stead, on Lowe avenue. 



Club Meeting. 

 The attendance at the meeting of the 

 Chicago Florists' Club April 10 was 

 small, made up largely of those who 

 were intent on putting through the 

 selection of a certain railroad as the 

 club's oflScial route to the Minneapolis 

 convention. Because of the indifference 

 of the members it usually has been pos- 

 sible to lead the horse to water, but 

 of late years it has become increasingly 

 difficult to make him drink. This time 

 the leading also was difficult, the St. 

 Paul first receiving the greatest number 

 of votes, but a second ballot resulted 

 in the endorsement of the committee's 

 selection, the C. & G. W. President 

 French was for the standard route, but 

 after the meeting sent out the follow- 

 ing: "The trangportation committee 

 made a report recommending that the 

 Great Western be selected as the official 

 route to the S. A. F. convention at Min- 

 neapolis next August. The recom- 

 mendation was adopted by a vote of 

 the club. The transportation commit-

tee will make all the necessary ar- 

 rangements for the pleasure and com- 

 fort of those going with the Chicago 

 Florists' Club. They have arranged for 

 an all-steel Pullman equipped special 

 train with all modern conveniences, and 

 a large electric sign reading 'The Chi- 

 cago Florists' Club Special." The Chi- 

 cago Florists' Club invites all of the 

 florists going to Minneapolis via Chi- 

 cago to make arrangements to go with 

 them from Chicago on their special 

 train." 



Edward C. Toepel, bookkeeper at the 

 Morton Grove office of Poehlmann Bros. 

 Co., was unanimously elected secretary 

 to fill the vacancy caused by the resig- 

 nation of Wilder S. Deamud, who is 

 now located at Bay City, Mich. 



Howard Witter, Herbert Scharenberg 

 and W. H. Hilton were elected members.
