The Weekly Florists^ Review.

William E. Jordan, son of the late J. 

 M. Jordan, was injured in a street car 

 accident last Saturday which may re- 

 sult in permanent disability. 



Fred Animann was the proudest man 

 at the show, getting all firsts on Amer- 

 ican Beauties. We will have to change 

 his name now to the "Beauty King." 

 Fred, of course, took all firsts on Perles. 



Mrs. Vesey, of Fort Wayne, Ind., 

 showed a fine vase of Lawson carna- 

 tions during the show, which was the 

 center of attraction. Mrs. Vesey had to 

 buy an extra satchel to carry home all 

 the blue ribbons, as only in two cla''.:;es 

 did they escape her. We missed the 

 judge very much, and would like to 

 have had him with us. 



Mr. Fred Lemon, who represented E. 

 G. Hill & Co., of Richmond, Ind., made 

 quite an impression on the St. Louis 

 florists. Everybody would ask: "Who is 

 that tall, handsome gentleman, and 

 where did he come from?" 



Toney Riesig, the representative of 

 Nathan Smith & Son, of Adrian, Mich., 

 was quite a favorite with the ladies. 

 Toney knows his business. He doesn't 

 say much, but he's "Johnnie on the 

 spot" when it comes to staging on time. 

 Messrs. Smith & Son ought to feel proud 

 of him. 



Bowling. 



The bowlinff seems to have taken a uew life, 

 as ten florists were seen at the alleys on Monday 

 ni&lit. The new men, Measrs. Miller. Mohr and 

 Winter, doing fairly well for new beginners, and 

 will no doubt do better in time. The scores were 

 as toUows:

 ing a week of grand opera and commence- 

 ment of opera season, the trade in the

 siderably. The weather remains warm, 

 with showers and thunderstorms once in 

 a while. White chrysanthemums are be- 

 coming scarce; the yellow kinds are still 

 plentiful. Some nice paper white nar- 

 cissus is in the market this week. Vio- 

 lets are good as to quality and plentiful.

 lets — Princess of Wales, 75 cents to $1 ;

Notes. 



At Santa Cruz the weather has been 

 so warm that it has affected the fruit 

 trees. On the McCann place are three 

 large pear trees completely covered with 

 white pear blossoms and many of the 

 pear trees in Ben Lomond mountains are 

 in full bloom. 



At San Jose a project is on foot to 

 hold a floral carnival next April, when 

 President McKinley visits California. 

 The business men and citizens are in 

 favor of the plan and the mayor of the 

 town has expressed a willingness to call 

 a meeting to arrange for a celebration. 

 The flowers in this city and county will 

 be at their best in April and a monster 

 iloral carnival would be a fitting recep- 

 tion to the president. 



Mr. E. Gill has just completed a new 

 palm house, 25x90. 



Morse & Nelson have a fine bench of 

 freesiaa that would be hard to beat. 



J. N. 



PEORIA, ILL. 



We are experiencing another mild 

 spell after the cold snap. There has 

 been quite a livening up in flower sales, 

 with plenty of good mums, roses and 

 carnations. 



C. Loveridge is picking some very 

 good Marie Louise violets. 



Cole Bros, have enlarged and fitted 

 up their store, making it the flnest store 

 in the city devoted exclusively to cut 

 flowers. They report a steadily increas- 



ing trade. Joe Cole is an expert at his 

 business and one of the most popular 

 men in town. 



.J. C. Murray is very fortunate in hav- 

 ing so able a man as Mr. Cox to look 

 after bis seed ana nursery business. Mr. 

 Cox is well known in Boston. Murray's 

 carnations are very fine this year and do 

 great credit to H. Bear, the grower. 



Kuhl's Boston ferns are going at a 

 great rate; they are very fine. 



Jos. Reeve has resigned his position as 

 foreman for J. C. Murray and has gone 

 to Racine, Wis., on a visit to friends. 



H. 



R.\LEIGH, N. C— A chrysanthemum show 

 was held here Nov. 13 under the auspices of the 

 ladies of the Church of the Good Shepherd. 



WOOSTER, O.— Jacob Long & Son. of this 

 place, have received the contract for building 

 new greenhouses and remodeling old ones at 

 the Experiment Station. The changes will 

 cost about $4,000. 



OMRO, WIS.— The sixth annual chrysanthe- 

 mum show of the Omro Hort. Society was held 

 Nov. H to 16. 



TOLEDO. O. — In a recent window decoration 

 at the store of Geo. A. Heinl the central fea- 

 ture was a picture of President McKinley, 

 encircled by a wreath of flowers and with a 

 pink carnation inserted in the lapel of the 

 coat. It attracted much attention and was 

 mentioned by the local press. 



TERRE HAUTE, IND.— The M. A. Hunt 

 Floral Co. have sold their retail store to P. 

 Wunker & Sons and will in future confine 

 themselves to wholesale growing only.
