The Weekly Florists' Review. 



FEBRUARY S, 1900. 



of visitors who bowl less than 100, 

 thus enabling him to go on letord as 

 having made a total of 162. 



As a number present expressed 

 their intention of attending the Buf- 

 falo convention of the Carnation Soci- 

 ety next week and it was thought best 

 to travel in a body, it was decided to 

 select the Wabash road and to invite 

 all who so desired to travel with the 

 party on the train leaving Chicago at 

 3:15 p. m., Wednesday, Feb. 14, and 

 reaching Buffalo at 7:40 a. m., Thurs- 

 day, the opening day of the conven- 

 tion. 



Variouf Items. 



E. W. Jones has opened a flloral 

 store at 830 Sixty-third street, in En- 

 glewood. 



Mrs. G. McCrea, 6010 Jefferson ave- 

 nue, has been appointed landscape 

 gardener of Lincoln park. 



Recent visitors: J. A. Evans, Rich- 

 mond, Ind.; J. A. Peterson. Cincinnati; 

 M. Bloy, en route from Buffalo to Den- 

 ver. 



The bowlers have been rather quiet 

 of late, but reports of serious work 

 may be expected soon. 



A rumor reaches us from the east 

 that Deacon Kokomo Coles declines to 

 eat Welsh "rabbits" with the hair on. 



DETROIT. 



The greenhouses of F. Kolbe, of 

 Woodmere, were destroyed by fire on 

 January 31, and all stock not lost by 

 fire was frozen up tight, entailing a 

 loss of $2,000, which is a severe blow 

 to Mr. Kolbe, as he had just started 

 last June and by hard work had filled 

 the plant with fine stock. The fire is 

 supposed to have started from the con- 

 necting smoke pipe below the boiler 

 and smokestack, as it was an old one 

 and full of holes. 



The Detroit club will be well repre- 

 sented at Buffalo for the carnation 

 meeting. Think we shall be able to go 

 ten or twelve strong, at any rate. 



Zero weather for the past week has 

 had a tendency to reduce the supply of 

 cut stock very materially. 



There is a movement on foot in our 

 city for the formation of a stock com- 

 pany for the purpose of handling cut 

 • fiowers on commission, together with a 

 full line of florists' supplies, etc. 



Wm. Dillgar will be manager, and it 

 is proposed to solicit consignments of 

 cut flowers from the surrounding 

 towns, and also orders for same, and 

 it is thought by the promoters that it 

 will be a success. 



The delegation to the carnation meet 

 in Buffalo will leave on the Wabash at 

 10:45 p. m. and would like some of 

 those who are to go to join us. 



RAG. 



WESTFIELD, N. Y. — Mrs. J. H.
