The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



MARCH 2, 



some very fine carnations, ami Cali- 

 fornia violrfs tliat sell well. 



Juliu.s Kopnig. Jr., deserves great 

 credit for the fine azaleas and cinera- 

 rias he is sending to this market. 



E. W. Guy and Henry Emuudt, of 

 Belleville, were in town last week cel- 

 •ebrating Washington's birthday. 



The next meeting of the club will 

 be a notable one, as the public has 

 been invited and with the carnation on 

 exhibition it will be quite interesting 

 to all. John Young is expected to read 

 his essay. It will also be decided if 

 we will have a show this year or not. 

 Everybody in the florist business is ex- 

 pected to attend; March 9 is the date; 

 meeting called at 3 p. m. in Hall No. 2, 

 Odd Fellows' Building. 



The Bowling Club had a full at- 

 tendance last night and the three lead- 

 ers for The Review prize struggled 

 hard to outroll each other. After roll- 

 ing four regular games the scores 

 showed that C. A. Kuehn had won the 

 prize with an average in 37 games of 

 157, followed by C. Beyer and D. Fin- 

 layson with 156, they being tied for 

 second place. The February series of 

 16 games was also won by C. A. Kuehn 

 ■with an average of 167. This gives 

 Kuehn the knife and the medal, Carl 

 Beyer wins the lucky medal for the 

 highest single score, 226. During the 

 March series we will again roll for a 

 knife, beginning next Monday night, 

 March 6.

FLORISTS' FIRE INSURANCE. 



On Jan. 1st, 1S99. the Florists' Fire 

 Insurance Association completed its 

 first year, and now at the close of four- 

 teen months the board of directors 

 ias authorized a second assessment. It 

 is gratifying to know that from the 

 ■experience of the first year, the board 

 ■considered that one-half a full assess- 

 ment would probably be sufficient for 

 the second year, and accordingly that 

 amount has been levied, to be paid 

 on all policies at the expiration of one 

 year from date of issuance. The asso- 

 ciation has promptly paid its losses, 

 of which it has had five, three by fire 

 and two by lightning. The trade pa- 

 pers have published accounts of a 

 large number of losses this season. 

 Most of these were without insurance, 

 and the list contains the names of 

 many well-constructed plants as well 

 as those not so well built. 



Those desiring further information 

 in regard to the association should ap- 

 ply to W. J. Vesey, secretary. Ft.
