The Weekly Florists' Review. 



SEPTEMBER 7, 1899. 



PHILADELPHIA. 



There has been a slight improve- 

 ment in business over last week, which 

 we understand is due to the G. A. R. 

 turnout in this city. 



J. Wolff. Jr., and J. J. Habermehl's 

 Sons report a boom in the way of dec- 

 orations the past week. 



Prices on cut flowers remain about 

 the same as last week. 



John Grocy, of the Woodford Floral 

 Co., has just finished building a new 

 greenhouse at the rear of his Columbia 

 avenue store. 



H. H. Battles had the decoration of 

 Strawbridge & Clothier's store for the 

 fall opening, yellow flowers being the 

 colors used. 



Mr. Harry Papworth, of New Or- 

 leans, La., was among the recent vis- 

 itors during the past week. He was 

 on his way home from the convention. 



John L. Smith, of the firm of Smith 

 & Whiteley, was found bruised and un- 

 conscious near his greenhouses the 

 morning of August 30. and his money 

 and valuables were missing. R. 



DES MOINES, IA. 



The State Fair was held here last 

 week and was a success in every re- 

 spect. The fruit and flowers were as 

 good as one would wish to see and 

 much better than the premiums war- 

 ranted. 



The floral exhibit was all from Des 

 Moines, Kollinson, Lozier and Ful- 

 mer being the only florists to exhibit. 

 In cut flowers Fulmer took first pre- 

 mium on design and Lozier second. 

 Display cut flowers, Lozier first, Rol- 

 linson second. Fulmer third. 



Plants, display, Lozier first. Fulmer 

 second. Rollinson third. On collec- 

 tions of plants, Lozier had first on be- 

 gonia, abutilons, ferns and foliage. 

 Fulmer had first on cannas. gera- 

 niums, carnations, roses, ivy gerani- 

 ums and foliage geraniums. 



The amateurs made a good display 

 in plants and cut flowers. 



Business is at a standstill. Car- 

 mations in the field are looking well. 



The boys are talking of a fall picnic. 



Lambert has put in a boiler that will 

 give him no trouble as to capacity; 

 it is a six-foot shell. 16 feet long. 



Those of our club that were at De- 

 troit are loud in their praise of the 

 Detroit boys and their hospitality. 

 Thanks are also clue to Bassett & 

 Washburn, and Mr. Wilson, at Vau- 

 ghan's. for courtesies extended us on 

 our homeward trip. , J. T. D. F.

Gentlemen : — The machine we ordered of you came in due 

 time and have used it to break up dirt for two houses. Would 

 say that we consider it a labor-saving machine, two men can da 

 what six would do in the same time. 



Yours very truly, W. J. PALMER & SON. 



Mr. Wilson, Manager for J. C. Yaughan, Chicago, 111.— We 

 wuuld not try to get along without one now. 



Mr. Lewis Ullrich, Wholesale Grower. Tiffin, Ohio. — 'It 



works very good. I would not sell the machine for three times 

 what I paid for it unless I could get another one.
