Sept. 16,. 182 North Wabash Avenue ^ Randolph eai STEADILY INCREASING SUPPLY CHICAGO Milady, Russell, Ward, Ophelia, Killarney and White Killarney roses, and AH Other Seasonable Cut Flowers. Chicago Florists' Club. There was a good attendance at the September meeting- of the florists' club, held at the Morrison hotel on the 7th inst., President Henderson in the chair. This was the first gathering after the summer recess, meetings having been suspended during July and August. In response to -a request from the local committee, having in charge arrange- ments for the entertainment of the vis- itors during the convention of the Vegetable Growers' Association of America, to be held at the LaSalle hotel, this city, September 26-29, Presi- dent Henderson appointed Fred Lau- tenschlager, E. F, Kurowski and P. J. Foley to co-operate with that body. Two new names were placed in nomi- nation for membership, Emil Schnake and Martin Amling, Maywood, and Fred Longren was reinstated. The feature of the meeting was a paper by Allie Zech on how to over- come the low prices of department stores in the sale of cut flowers. Mr. Zech's remarks, which will be found elsewhere in this issue, produced an interesting discussion in which John Michelson, Reinhold Schiller, George Asmus, Guy "W. French, Peter Pear- son, A. Henderson, August Jurgens and others participated. Mr. Michelson said the main cause of low prices in this market was the enormous supplies coming to this cen- tral market from all points in times of plenty, and strongly urged the growers to withhold all low grade stock at such times, sending only the choicest to mai'ket, poor flowers not paying for packing and shipping when there is a glut. Mr. Asmus thought a good deal could be done in the way of improving the quality of the stock and work offered, giving the customer what he demands in quality and service
