The Weekly Florists' Review* 



FEBRUARY 23, 1S99. 



France. Wootton. Siebricht, Testout 

 and Bennett. The Siebricht and Ben- 

 nett weie on strong, stiff stems. 18 to 

 24 inches long, quite disproving the 

 popular idea that these flowers were 

 weak-stemmed. 



Chris Hansen, with L. L. May o; 

 Co., read an admirable paper on Car- 

 nation Culture, giving his experience 

 ■with the -different varieties. Flora 

 Hill and Evelina for white. Daybreak, 

 Triumph and Victor for pink. Jubilee 

 for red. Bradt and Pingree for fancy, 

 were the varieties recommended for 

 general cultivation. 



The society passed resolutions of 

 sympathy to be sent to the family of 

 J. C. Fleischer and ordered a floral 

 offering sent to the funeral. 



Notes. 



John C. Fleischer, who died Febru- 

 ary 10, was the pioneer florist in this 

 city, having located here many years 

 ago. His was a kindly, genial nature 

 and he will be greatly missed by a 

 large circle of friends and acquaint- 

 ances. 



Easter trade promises very good and 

 there is an abundance of good stock 

 to supply same.

Annual Banquet. 



The ninth annual banquet of the 

 Gardeners' and Florists' Association 

 took place at Webb's on the 8tli inst. 

 Pres. Geo. Vair presiding. 



The tables were appropriately deco- 

 rated with specimen orchids, azaleas, 

 begonias, palms and small ferns, also 

 an abundance of cut bloom, narcissus, 

 violets, carnations and orchids. 

 Messrs. Miller & Sons sent a lot of 

 their seedling carnation, which will be 

 heard from later. The arrangement 

 was very creditable to the committee 

 on decoration — Messrs, Dunlop, Collins 

 and Jay. Messrs. La— rence and B. 

 Grainger looked after the entertaining 

 portion of the program and deserve 

 great praise for the way in which they 

 carried out the program. Mr. Law- 

 rence is a host in himself. 



Signor Napolitano's orchestra dis- 

 coursed sweet dulcet strains while the 

 multitude fed. The bill of fare includ- 

 ed everything good, from "braised 

 sweetbreads aux champignon" to plain 

 plum duff. I think the latter item was 

 mostly in demand. I am convinced 

 that a plainer repast at a more modest 

 figure per head, would have a tend- 

 ency to bring out a larger crowd of
