The Weekly Florists' Review. 



AUGUST 16, 1990. 



CHICAGO TO NEW YORK. 



The Chicago Florists' Club's Committee on 

 TraDsportation to the New York Conventioa of 

 the Society of American Florists, lo be held .\ae. 

 21,22.23 and 24. has arrangt-d with tlie Lake Shore 

 and Michigan Southern Railway lor a special 

 train, which will be yestibuled, and will contain 

 as many Pullman sleepers as may be necessary, a 

 buffet smoking car, a dining car and a day coach. 



The running time of this traifa will be as follows; 



Leave Chicago, '■< p, m., Sunday, Aug. in. 

 Arrive Niagara Falls, T:SUa. m , Monday, Aug. '3h. 

 Leave Niagara Falls, '.>:'-^i> a. m , Monday. Aug. '-0. 

 Leave Buffalo, lli:'-'u a. ni.. Monday, Aug. '2U. 

 Arrive Grand Cent. Sta., N.Y , '.' p. m., Monday, Aug '-'I). 

 The railroad fare for the round trip will be $26.70 

 on the certificate plan. The sleeping car fare will 

 be $5.00 for a double berth to New York. But if 

 sleeper accommodations are desired to Buffalo 

 only, sleeper tickets from Chicago to Buffalo may 

 be had for S3.00 anl tlie remainder of the distance 

 travelled in the day coach. 



.\t Niagara Falls an hour will he devoted to a 

 trip around the Gorge Route Electric Line, which 

 on the .American side runs for miles below the 

 falls along the rapids, whirlpool, etc. Special 

 trolley cars will await the arrival of our special 

 train. 



Those not wishing to take the trip through the 

 gorge can devote their time to seeing the falls in 

 any way they desire. 



Returning from New York the members of the 

 party have the option of returning by all rail 

 route, or of taking the boat as far as Albany. 

 And as a ekiylight ride up the Hudson is an ex- 

 ceedingly eniovable t'ip, the majority will no 

 doubt take advantage of it. The boat leaves New 

 York, foot of Desbrosses street at S:40 a. m. daily, 

 reaching Albany at 6:i0 p. m. A west-bound tram 

 leaves Albany at 10 p. ni., which arrives Chicago 

 at y p.m. next da\ . To any preferring the lake 

 trip Buffalo to Cleveland the privilege of taking 

 the C. & B. Transit Co.'s boat is aftorjed. 



Berths may be reserved in the special sleepers 

 by addressing L. F Yosburgh, City Passenger and 

 Ticket Agent. Lake Shore and Michigan Southern 

 Railway. IS- Clark street, Chicago, who w 11 also 

 supply any other information desired. Railroad 

 ticket- may be had at above address or at the 

 Lake Shore Station, Yan Buren street. 



In reserving berths be careful to state whether 

 you wish a berth to New York, or to Buffalo only, 

 and mention that you desire to travel in the Flor- 

 ists' Special Train. 



B\ vote of the Chicago Florists' Club tlie Com- 

 mittee was instructed to invite all florists in the 

 west to travel with the Chicago party and to share 

 the advantages secured by the Committee. We 

 shall be pleaded to liave your company on this 

 trip. The New York Convention promises to be 

 a memorable one. and every florist who can possi- 

 bly do so should go. 



Please make your berth reservations as early as 

 possible.

Learning that a number of florists have misin- 

 terpreted a circular issued tiy a certain R. R , the 

 committee wishes to state that by whatever rail- 

 road a florist travels to New \ ork he must leave 

 New York on or before .\ugust 28 in order to se- 

 cure the reduced rate. 



DEATH OF BENJ. R. CANT. 



Benjamin R. Cant, the 'well-kno'svn 

 English rose-grower, died July 16 at 

 the ripe age ot 73 years. He was 

 probably the only nurseryman who 

 confined himself exclusively to ro?es in 

 the open air, having no range of glass. 

 For upwards of forty years he was 

 perhaps the leading exhibitor of roses 

 in England. During his long and pros- 

 perous career Mr. Cant had won over 

 2,080 first prizes and trophies, and last 

 year created a record by carrying off 

 every trophy open to England. And 

 nine times in nineteen years he had 

 won the grand challenge trophy of the 

 National Rose Society. 



It was through him that such fa- 

 mous roses as Gloire de Dijon, Gen. 

 Jacqueminot and Jules Margottin were 

 intoduced in England.
