OFFICIAL CLUB REPOBT. 



The Chicago Florists' Club held its 

 regular meeting Thursday, May 8, at the 

 Union restaurant. President French in 

 the chair. A «number of appeals from 

 flood and storm sufferers were read, but 

 no definite list of their requirements ac- 

 companied same. Arrangements were 

 made to take care of them when the 

 necessary information is received. The 

 club also has taken up with the express 

 companies the question of transporting 

 such stock free of charge as may be 

 given for the victims. Everyone is in- 

 terested in this work and spoke highly 

 of the practical way the club is handling 

 this proposition. 



The special committee appointed to 

 represent the club in matters of pub- 

 licity at the New York show gave an 

 interesting report on the benefit derived 

 by retailers and through them, of course, 

 the wholesalers and growers, from the 



great amount of advertising exhibitors 

 get at the flower shows, which seems to 

 be one of the most effective ways of 

 advertising. 



The transportation committee re- 

 ported that arrangements for a special 

 train have been made with the Great 

 Western E. E. Co., the best Pullman 

 equipment to leave August 18. A num- 

 ber of letters were received from vari- 

 ous clubs, stating that they will be 

 pleased to join the Chicago Florists' 

 Club special train at Chicago. An in- 

 teresting itinerary will soon be sent out. 



The good of the club committee has 

 taken an active part in publicity. Chair- 

 man Waters promised some interesting 

 items on publicity at our next meeting. 



V. Niemitz, expert on horticulture of 

 Eussia, who has been traveling in our 

 western states the last six months, was 

 present. 



The following applications for mem- 

 bership were received: W. H. Harris, 

 room 618, 140 Dearborn street, Chicago; 

 Clark T, Eoberts, room 618, 140 Dear- 

 born street. Chicago. 



Edward C. Toepel, Sec'y.
