The Weekly Florists' Review. 



DECEMBER 22, 1898. 



BALTIMORE. 



The first annual meeting of the 

 Maryland State Horticultural Society 

 •was held in this city Decemlier 14 and 

 15. 



While the major part of the pro- 

 gram was devoted to the interests of 

 the fruit growers and trucliers, the 

 florists were not overlooked, and a 

 paper was read by Mr. E. A. Seide- 

 witz, president of our local club, en- 

 titled, "What we hope for." He re- 

 ferred to the progress made by the 

 florists through their local and na- 

 tional organizations and said: "While 

 our hopes also lie in the tact that we 

 may gain more enlightenment as to 

 the cultivation of plants by studying 

 their habits and wants, we also hope 

 that we may enjoy at least a part of 

 our enlightenment in the conversion 

 of the same into hard cash." 



Mr. Richard Vincent, Jr., of White 

 Marsh, who is a vegetable gardener 

 as well as a florist, read a paper en- 

 titled, "Some observations on the 

 trucking Interests of Maryland." 



BUILDING AND HEATING. 



Hitchings & Co., of New York, send 

 lis copies of their catalogues, entitled 

 "Modern Greenhouse Constnictlon" 

 and "Greenhouse heating and Venti- 

 lating Apparatus." The former con- 

 tains numerous sectional drawing.^ 

 showing their various styles of iron- 

 frame and all-wood construction, to- 

 gether with a host of fine half-tone en- 

 gravings from photographs of green- 

 houses and conservatories erected by 

 them in various parts of the country. 

 In view of the fact that this well 

 known firm was established in 1844, it 

 is not surprising to find the very 

 greatest variety of styles among the 

 examples of their work shown, and all 

 are most interesting to anyone in the 

 trade. Intending builders should not 

 fail to have a copy, which, we under- 

 stand, will be sent on receipt of 4 

 cents, to cover postage. The other 

 catalogue illustrates and describes 

 their various styles of heating and 

 ventilating apparatus, and is sent on 

 the same terms as the other. 



OGDEN, UTAH.— The damage to the 

 greenhouses of F. J. Hendershot dur- 

 ing the recent heavy storm was so 

 great that he will not attempt to re- 

 establish the business. The plants 

 were all frozen before repairs could be 

 made. 



PITTSBTEILD, MASS.— The wife of 

 John White, the florist, died December 

 13 of heart failure, aged 58 years. Mr. 

 White has the sincere sympathy of his 

 many friends in the trade. 



BINGHAMTON, N. Y.— R. J. Shore. 

 Jr., who has been assistant gardener 

 at the university greenhouses at Ith- 

 aca, N. Y., has been appointed florist 

 at the State Hospital, this city. He 

 begins his work here about February 

 1 next.
