The Weekly Florists' Review. 



JUNE 8, 1899. 



PARK AND OUT-DOOR ART ASS'N. 



The preliminary announcement of 

 the annual meeting to be held at De- 

 troit, June 27, 28 and 29, has been is- 

 sued: 



Headquarters of the association 'will 

 be at the Hotel Cadillac, at which the 

 rates are $3 per day and upwards. De- 

 troit is readily accessible from all 

 points by rail and western visitors can 

 take advantage of the fine boat-ride 

 from various points along the Great 

 Lakes. Such special railroad rates as 

 are secured will be announced later, 

 but owing to the uncertainty of at- 

 tendance it will not be possible to ob- 

 tain a great reduction. Members from 

 Boston and vicinity will obtain a spe- 

 cial railroad rate of $26.25 for the 

 round trip. 



Mornings of the 27th, 28th and 29th 

 will be given up to business, papers 

 and discussion. The retiring presi- 

 dent will address the meeting, and the 

 following papers will probably be 

 given. 



F. L. Olmsted, Jr.— Subject Relating 

 to Park Design. 



Chas. W. Garfield. — Finger Boards 

 and View Points. 



John McGregor. — Utilization of Va- 

 cant City Lots for the Poor. 



E. J. Parker. — Boston Common. 



G. A. Parker. — Park Nomenclature 

 and Accounts. 



Geo. R. King. — Park Landscapes;

Gordon H. Taylor. — Surveys. 



J. W. Beal.— Outdoor Art in School 

 and College Grounds, 



There will be numerous trolley rides 

 through the city to the various parks 

 and the afternoon of the 28th will be 

 devoted to a steamer ride up Lake St. 

 Clair to the renowned "Venice of 

 America," stopping for a short time at 

 one of the attractive club houses at 

 that novel resort for tourists. On the 

 return trip, which will occupy two and 

 one-half hours, there will be a session 

 on board the boat. The afternoon of 

 the 29th there will be a drive over 

 the extensive boulevards of the city 

 and out to Belle Isle park, where in 

 the evening a banquet will be ten- 

 dered by the park commissioners of 

 Detroit, with a band concert later in 

 the evening. The return to the city 

 at 10:30 p. m. will be made by special 

 ferry. 



The Detroit members will do all in 

 their power to give the visiting dele- 

 gates a good time, and it is hoped that 

 there will be a large attendance. 



Warren H. Manning, 1145 Tremont 

 building, Boston, Mass., is secretary of 

 the association. 



SIOUX CITY, IA.— Hail broke 400 

 square feet of glass on the green- 

 houses of J. R. Elder last week. Mr. 

 Elder says the storm was so severe it 

 was a miracle that all his glass was 

 not broken. 



ENGLISH growers of the daffodil 

 are talking of organizing a "Daffodil 

 Society."
