The Weekly Florists' Review. 



OCTOBER 19, 1899. 



HARTFORD, CONN. 



The Connecticut Horticultural So- 

 ciety will hold a chrysanthemum and 

 carnation exhibition in Putnam Pha- 

 lanx Armory, Hartford, Conn., Nov. 

 13, 14, 15 and 16. The society has 

 largely increased its carnation 

 schedule, and, judging from the past, 

 know it is decidedly to the advantage 

 of dealers to get the advertisement 

 due to good exhibits of carnations and 

 chrysanthemums at their exhibitions. 

 New varieties, especially, are noticed 

 with interest, many persons relying 

 solely on this exhibition for their ideas 

 Of new carnations and chrysanthe- 

 mums. 



In case exhibitors cannot come per- 

 sonally or send a man to stage their 

 exhibits, it will be done for them 

 without charge, by a competent person. 

 Please send, to arrive as early as pos- 

 sible on the morning of November 13, 

 all exhibits for this exhibition, ad- 

 dressed to the Connecticut Horticul- 

 tural Society. If the society is to stage 

 them, mark "stage." Also please notify 

 Secretary Boykett,' Hartford, of the 

 shipment. It will be necessary to send 

 in entries early, in order to secure 

 desirable and prominent positions in 

 the hall. 



A membership fee of $1.00 will be 

 charged for competition in classes for 

 prizes, which entitles the person to all 

 privileges for 1900. Exhibits not for 

 competition, or anything not men- 

 tioned in the schedule, will be suitably 

 recognized, and as the judges are well 

 known in their profession, they will, 

 undoubtedly, give general satisfaction. 



DUBUQUE, IOWA. 



During the week of the carnival 

 Harkett's Floral Nurseries had an ex- 

 tra fine display of palms and ferns in 

 a booth on Main street. The booth was 

 decorated with wild smilax and Ameri- 

 can Beauty roses were used lavishly 

 and with good effect between the 

 palms, etc. In the floral parade there 

 were some 30 vehicles, several of 

 which were decorated with natural 

 flowers, smilax and palms. 



Trade is fair. Outside stuff all gone; 

 killed off by heavy frost Oct. 1. 



N. Mettel is putting in a Gibbon's 

 sectional boiler, also adding a 20-foot 

 house for miscellaneous stock. 



G. A. H. 



FT. WAYNE, IND— Mr. W. J. Ve- 

 st- v. of the firm of W. J. & M. S. Vesey, 

 has been appointed judge of the Allen 

 County Superior Court, and is now 

 Judge Vesey. The greenhouse busi- 

 ness has always been more of a pleas- 

 ure than a commercial venture to Mr. 

 Vesey and he has always maintained 

 his law practice. He has made many 

 friends in the trade and all will be 

 pleased to hear of his new appoint 

 ment. 



WESTVILHE, PA.— The green- 

 houses of Lewis Duncan were partly

 rism is suspected.
