The Weekly Florists' Review. 



SEPTEMBER : 



1900. 



RICHMOND, VA. 



If the usual quietness in trade cir- 

 cles has been the rule this summer, 

 there has been an unusual briskness 

 about the greenhouse grounds. 



W. A. Hammond has changed his 

 system from hot water to steam and 

 erected two additional large houses, 

 in which his violets are now looking 

 well. Our Louisa growers are likely 

 to find stronger competition this year 

 from home growers. Mr. Hammond's 

 plant is now perhaps the best 

 equipped and largest south of Wash- 

 ington. 



Mann & Brown have also erected a 

 large house this summer, now partly 

 planted in chrysanthemums and car- 

 nations. 



Harvey & Co. have completely 

 renovated their old houses. 



M. A. Whitty has erected two large 

 houses, one of them the widest house 

 in this section, for growing plants. 

 They are the largest growers of 

 plants in this vicinity, having sold 

 and grown over 80.000 plants last 

 spring. They now have nearly 2,000 

 potted specimen plants of chrysan- 

 themums under way. 



J. D. Hooper is growing Beauties in 

 his new houses erected last season. 



Mrs. Cole has" gone out of business. 

 and Reynolds & Eby have dissolved. 

 The old concern is continued by Geo. 

 J. Freedley. whose wife was Miss 

 Reynolds, and Mrs. Eby has made .ir- 

 rangements to open up a new estab- 

 lishment on Main St., which, strange 

 to say, has no flower store at this 

 time. 



General trade has already started 

 up. The funeral of Dr. McGuire used 

 up all available material here this 

 week, and some help was had from the 

 north. 



Mr. Harnish of Manchester is grow- 

 ing roses again this season. O. M. 



Madison O — Dnniel Lee, the veteran florist, 

 intends to close out his business and expects to 

 spend the coming winter in Florida. 



Merrim.^cport. M.ass -Lowell Whittier has 

 succeeded to the business of Charles Davis. He 

 will greatly improve the establishment. 



Fort CoLLiN's, Colo.— Wendell Paddock, (or 

 P'ven years at the E.\periment Station at Geneva. 

 N. \., has been apoointed prrlessor of botany 

 and horticulture of the State College here. 



Boston, Mass -."it the last meeting of the 

 Massachusetts Horticultural Society the president 

 announced a bequest of $l,iiOO by Benj. H. Pierce, 

 the income to be applied to the inti-oducing of 

 new fruits. 



Ottawa, Ont.— The September meeting of the 

 Ottawa Horticultural Society was well attended 

 and there was a large display of seasonable flow- 

 ers. Mr. R. B. Whyte, the president, delivered 

 an address on bulbs. 



Spokane. Wash.— The Spokane Floral ."isso- 

 ciilion gave its third annual aster show Sept. 4. 

 Prizes were awarded for bi'St single aster, best 

 collection of 25 asters, best desig:n made of asters, 

 greatest variety of asters, artistic arrangement of
