The Weekly Florists' Review. 



AUGUST 17 



CINCINNATI. 



Club Meeting. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Cincinnati Florists' Society was held 

 at the residence and greenhouses of 

 Mr. Wm. Murphy, on Thursday after- 

 noon, August 10. There were about 

 twenty members of the society pres- 

 ent and quite a number of visitors. 

 Several of the craft were kind enough 

 to bring their wives along and they 

 were well entertained by Mrs. Murphy. 

 Messrs. E. G. Hill, of Richmond, Ind., 

 and Francis Pentland, of Lockland, 

 O., were present at the meeting. W. 

 G. Partridge was elected a member 

 and Philip Berlier and George Murphy 

 were proposed as new members. After 

 the meeting the crowd was entertained 

 with a number of choice selections ren- 

 dered by the Beechwood cornet band. 



The party then adjourned to the pot- 

 ting shed and did their best to relieve 

 the tables of the terrible strain to 

 which they had been subjected, for 

 they were simply overladen with good 

 things to eat. About 7 p. m. they took 

 their departure from Murphyville, well 

 pleased with their day's outing and 

 voting President Murphy a royal en- 

 tertainer. 



A special social meeting of the club 

 will be held at the greenhouses of J. 

 A. Peterson, Thursday, August 29, and 

 the next regular meeting at R. Witter- 

 staetter's, Thursday, September 7. 



All of the craft, whether members 

 of the society or not, are invited to be 

 present at these meetings. B. 



BROCKTON, MASS. 



Club Meeting. 



The monthly meeting of the Brock- 

 ton Florists' Club was held last even- 

 ing and was well attended. The mat- 

 ter of arranging for the second annual 

 exhibition of the club was taken under 

 consideration and committees appoint- 

 ed. The exhibition is to be heldi No- 

 vember 1, 2 and 3. The club intends 

 making it one of the most noteworthy 

 ever held here. A committee consist- 

 ing of Walter Baker and John McFar- 

 land was appointed to circulate sched- 

 ules among the different aorists. 



Another committee consisting of 

 Charles Cooper. Clarence Graham and 

 John McFarland was chosen to devise 

 means for securing funds for conduct- 

 ing the exhibition. 



The culture of asters seemed to be 

 the talk of the members. Among the 

 noted speakers on that subject were 

 Carl Blomberg of North Easton and 

 Henry Duly, of Randolph. 



Mr. Duly has purchased the green- 

 house formerly occupied by Blanchard 

 & Thrasher, at Avon. The cause of 

 selling was on account of the death of 

 the late Hiram Blanchard.
