The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



AUGUST 30, 1900. 



A SONG OF CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 



Chrysanthemums are shuwering theii 

 fascinating flowering 

 In sweetness overpowering o'er garden, 

 park and street. 

 And Chicago's best society awakes to the 

 propriety 

 Of greeting each variety that offers to 

 compete: 

 Fair Lincoln park is glorious with blos- 

 soms meritorious 

 That tell the floral story as 'twas never 

 fold before. 

 And as our dear divinities stray 'round 

 with their affinities 

 It seems that every minute is with 

 pleasure gilded o'er. 



Chorus — 

 Tou may talk about our roses. 

 And your other pretty posies 

 Which you hold up to your noses 



And sniff so daintily; 

 But of all the flowers we nourish 

 In their radiant hues to flourish. 

 And which bloom and fade and perish. 



The chrysanthemum for me! 



From mansion and emporium they throng 

 the Auditorium. 

 And reasonably sure I am the show af- 

 fords delight: 

 And the nice association of the names of 

 dames of station. 

 With each floral appellation, is a com- 

 pliment that's right; 

 Mesdames Pullman. Rand and Ryerson 

 are all "mums" with fairy fires on. 

 W'hich many set desires on as splen- 

 didly they bloom. 

 And each Caton, Glessner, Woodworth 

 is unique in form and good worth. 

 And is many a humbler bud worth and 

 beautifies the- room. 



Chorus — 



Each swell now wears a ball o' Hower as 

 bulky as a cauliflower. 

 And glad he Is to haul a flower of su< h 

 capacious size. 

 With a bloom that isn't vaporv, but 

 crimpy and frill-papery. 

 And decks a person's drapery with 

 subtle hues and dyes; 

 Attend, then, and with gratitude and 

 most imposing attitude 

 Just speak the pleasant platitude befit- 

 ting to the sihow, 

 Regarding all admiringly, desiringlv. in- 

 quiringly. 

 And praise those who untiringly chr\s- 

 anthemums can grow. 



Chorus — 



—Chicago Chronicle 



ADVERTISING. 



This is the time of year to prepare 

 a neat little bool<let on plants and 

 flowers, giving a few plain instruc- 

 tions in their care and uses. Such a 

 book sent out with each plant you may 

 sell, be it at Christmas. Easter, or o:i 

 any ordinary day, will be the very best 

 kind of advertising for you. Needn't 

 go into a botanical dissertation nor 

 make it an encyclopaedia; just give a 

 few pointers on the proper treitment 

 of house plants, and get it set up in 

 good style, with illustrations of some 

 of your best work, if possible. 



MUSCATINE, lA.— The old green 

 house establishment known as the 

 Kranz place, but recenty occupied by 

 Aug. Schmidt, has been sold and the 

 entire stock will be closed out.
