The Weekly Florists' Review* 



TWO FLORISTS AWHEEL. 



Watertown, Wis., July 7. — We ar- 

 rived here this evening after lassing 

 over the Rocky Mountains! Talk about 

 climbing, you have to have a wire 

 rope to pull yourself over some of 

 these hills! But take it all in all we 

 have had a good time since we left 

 Chicago. 



The first stop we made was at High- 

 land Park. Called on Fritz Bahr, who 

 gives a good report of business; says 

 his sales were excellent this spring; 

 he grows bedding stock only; was all 

 sold out. But you ought to see his 

 cyclamens. He has about 2,000 plants 

 all in 5-inch pots and will have some 

 grand specimens for the flower show. 

 We met Mr. W. C. Egan and on his in- 

 vitation we took a run over to his 

 place and were very glad we ;lid. He 

 certainly has the most effectively laid 

 out place in the state. This may be 

 saying a good deal, but it is not too 

 much. He has a Crimson Rambler rose 

 that stands ten feet high and with so 

 many thousands of flowers that it is 

 simply a mass of bloom. The place 

 contains only seven or eight acres, but 

 is splendidly kept up and every plan; 

 is in the pink of condition. They hav^' 

 many photographs taken at various 

 periods throughout the season, and it 

 is a most interesting record. Mrs. 

 Egan presses the button and her pic- 

 tures often surpass those of a profe.s- 

 sional photographer. Mr. Egan seems 

 always happy when showing apprecia- 

 tive visitors over his beautiful place. 



After a short rest we started for 

 Lake Forest, where we spent our first 

 night out. Saw all the florists there 

 that eve and at 4 o'clock next morning 

 were again on our way. Stopped at 

 Waukegan, Kenosha, Racine and South 

 Milwaukee and arrived at Milwaukee 

 at 6 p. m. Next morning visited the 

 Milwaukee florists and they treited us 

 handsomely. Most of them take The 

 Review and all think it is at ihe top 

 of the list. Left Milwaukee at noon, 

 stopped at Oconomowoc for lunch and 

 arrived here for supper. Maybe that 

 isn't putting in the time! We don't 

 miss a thing. You will hear from us 

 later on the route.

AN ANT KILLER. 



An ant killer in tlie form of a ".iquid 

 is now being placed on the market by 

 the Kraft Plant Tonic Co., Rockford, 

 111. The liquid is poured into holes 

 made in the ant hill and the holes 

 closed, the gas generated then pen- 

 etrating to every part of the under- 

 ground galleries and killing all the 

 ants therein. The success of the Kraft 

 Plant Tonic as an insecticide natural- 

 ly gives confidence in this new pro- 

 duction by the same chemist.
