The Weekly Florists' Review.

was made entirely of white stock. The 

 boxes weie finished with Brides and 

 orchids; the curtain was made of vio- 

 lets, Princess of Wales, bearing the word 

 "Finale," done in stock. The design 

 was a splendid piece of workmanship 

 and a good proof that our San Fran- 

 cisco florists are strictly up to date 

 on any kind of work. 



Mr. Thomas H. Stevenson did over 

 two hundred dollars' worth of work this 

 week in the way of church wedding deco- 

 rations and funeral designs. 



One of our leading clothing establish- 

 ments on Market street has been mak- 

 ing a show of dahlias in a couple of 

 their show windows the past few days. 

 The blooms are staged in true exhibition 

 style and do not fail to draw crowds. 



Mr. G. N. Tyler, Alameda, is cutting 

 some very nice Queens and Bonnaffons, 

 and sprays of Asparagus Sprengeri.

DETROIT. 



At the meeting of the Florists' Club, 

 Oct. 16th, there was as usual a large 

 attendance. President Holznagle makes 

 an efficient official and Mr. Sullivan per- 

 formed his duties as secretary before 

 taking the midnight train for Phila- 

 delphia and the flower show in New 

 York. Detroit will also be represented 

 there by Mr. Phil Breitmeyer. 



The approaching flower show in De- 

 troit was the principal matter discussed 

 and complete arrangements have been 

 made, that indicate a great success. The 

 subscription list is remarkably free and 

 generous, the prizes numerous and lib- 

 eral and the interest about universal. 



Business, too, is booming and all the 

 retailers are busy, and everywhere there 

 is evidence of cheerful expectation. 



After the meeting, a dozen of the old 

 bowling guard endeavored to score the 

 averages of other days, but we cover the 

 results with the mantle of charity. 

 Austin. 



DALLAS, TEXAS. 



Business is booming and flowers are 

 plentiful. The Texas Seed & Floral Co. 

 are now cutting outside Beauties with 

 stems two to five feet long and flowers 

 perfect. Brides and Maids, and in fact 

 all of the ever blooming class, are pro- 

 ducing fine flowers outside. Ten acres 

 of roses in full bloom is quite a sight. 



Carnations inside are coming on fine- 

 ly and they will soon be cutting a fine 

 crop. Two houses, each 20x150, of mums 

 are in perfect condition, two flowers to 

 a plant. A house of rose cuttings, large- 

 ly from outside wood, is in fine shape 

 and the cuttings are about ready for 

 potting off, with hardly a miss. Many 

 of the everblooming varieties root as 

 freely from outside grown wood as from 

 that grown inside. 



No frost as yet and the days are warm 

 and balmy while the night temperature 

 drops to about 65 degrees. F. W. B. 



RED OAK, IOWA. 



The C. J. Anderson Company has com- 

 pleted its new range, which is located al- 

 most in the center of the city. They 

 have put "up about 15,000 feet, installed 

 a 50-horse power boiler and added a good 

 sized potting shed and dwelling. Their 

 stock of roses, consisting mostly of 

 Maids, Brides, Meteors and Golden Gate, 

 is in fine condition, also carnations, 

 such as Crane, Flora Hill, Ethel Crock-

ICE HOUSES. 



I would like to know how to build an 

 ice house, what to use for foundation 

 and what size to hold 125 tons of ice. 

 Would like estimate of cost above the 

 foundation, and to know if sawdust in 

 the walls is better than tight air space.
