The Weekly Florists' Review* 



JULY 26, ISW. 



OMAHA. 



The florists' club of Omaha gave a 

 picnic at Krug's Park on Friday, July 

 20. It was a grand success and from 

 two in the afternoon until the last 

 car for downtown it was one round 

 of pleasure. 



Krug's Park with its beautiful grove 

 of trees was an ideal place for this 

 event. With its donkeys (and these 

 donkeys, same as others, will throw 

 you), donkey carts, billiard and pool 

 tables, the ladies were kept busy, for 

 several of them are expert billiardists 

 and as for riding — well, we're in Ne- 

 braska and the ladies can ride any- 

 thing on, four feet. 



In the meantime two teams of five 

 men each were chosen from the mem- 

 bers with J. F. Wilcox from across 

 the Big Muddy as captain of No. 1 

 and Lewis Henderson for No. 2. Wil- 

 cox's side succeeded in capturing every 

 prize, of which there were seven: Mr. 

 Wilcox captured three of them for 

 himself, H. R. Davy and Charlie Stew- 

 art one each and their side two. 



The summer meeting of the Nebras- 

 ka Horticultural Society will be held 

 at Geneva, on July 2.t and 26. Dur- 

 ing the meeting L. C. Chapin will tell 

 about hardy roses: Pi'of. Lawrence 

 Brunner knows a little bugology and 

 will try to impress us; L. Henderson 

 will address the meeting on the "Ad- 

 vance of Floriculture;" J. H. Hadkin- 

 son will read a paper on "Ornamental 

 Planting as Developed by the Rail- 

 roads," and G. W. Hervy will tell us 

 what is "Nebraska's Duty at the St. 

 Louis Fair." 



This meeting will certainly prove 

 one of the most interesting we have 

 ever held. J. H. B. 



BRAMPTON, ONT. 



The executors of the will of the late 

 Harry Dale have issued an announce- 

 ment in which they state that the 

 large business built up by Mr. Dale 

 will be continued by them. Mr. Ed- 

 ward Dale will be foreman and all the 

 old employes will be retained. The 

 executors are Thos. W. Duggan, of 

 Brampton, and Wm. Algie. of Alton. 

 They will carry on the business under 

 the name "H. Dale Estate." 



Of the six new houses being added 

 to the establishment this summer, two 

 are 840 feet long, probably the largest 

 greenhouses ever built. 



INDIANAPOLIS, IND. 



Mr. Francis Smith, father of F. 

 Sydney Smith, has purchased the 

 greenhouse property owned by Mrs. E. 

 H. Poole, and operated by Baur & 

 Smith. The purchase was made to 

 enable them to establish their business 

 on a more permanent basis, and to 

 add to and improve the range of glass 

 as the business may require. The old 

 firm of Baur & Smith will remain in 

 control as before.
