The Weekly Florists' Review. 



JULY 20, 1899. 



NEW LONDON, CONN. 



The funeral of the late Capt. S. A. 

 Gardner, which occurred here on July 

 12th, was very largely attended by the 

 officials of the New York & New Ha- 

 ven R. R., and all the boat lines be- 

 tween New York and Boston. Over 

 forty floral tributes were sent. The 

 local florists were very busy, many of 

 the designs being sent from New Ha- 

 ven and Boston. 



The largest of the pieces were fur- 

 nished by John Young, of New York. 

 These consisted of a fac simile of the 

 steamer Priscilla, seven feet long; a 

 6-foot reclining anchor, an 8-foot pilot 

 wheel, a 5-foot pillow, and a large star. 

 These were ordered by the different 

 divisions of the transportation lines 

 of which the deceased was general 

 manager. The designs were the larg- 

 est ever seen in New London and 

 caused much admiration. They were 

 sent in a special car from New York.

Cypress 

 Greenhouse Material. 



We are the pioneers in Clear Cypress Greenhouse Material. We 

 discovered that Cypress is better than any other wood for greenhouses 

 from top of posts up and we introduced it, and fought for it against 

 many prejudices, and finally succeeded in bringing it into general use. 



Others have attempted to follow where we lead, others are trying to 

 reap what we sowed, but we have the experience and are recognized as 

 experts in greenhouse construction.
