The Weekly Florists^ Review, 



MARCH 1, 1900. 



PAN-AMERICAN EXPOSITION. 



We are pleased to be able to an- 

 nounce that Mr. Wm. Scott has been 

 appointed superintendent of floricul- 

 ture of the Pan-American Exposition, 

 to be held in Buffalo next year. 



With Mr. Scott in charge we are as- 

 sured that the department will not 

 fail to be what it should be — a credit 

 to the profession and a live factor in 

 demonstrating to the world the re- 

 markable progress in commercial flori- 

 culture. 



And should the convention of the S. 

 A. F. be held in Buffalo in 1901. the 

 members will surely find the horticul- 

 tural department at the exposition 

 alone well worth the trip to the an- 

 nual meeting. 



WATERTOWN, N, Y. 



The sewers lacked capacity to carry 

 off the immense quantity of water dur- 

 ing the recent heavy thaw and many 

 cellars were flooded in consequence. 

 Among the sufferers was the well 

 known firm of florists, Messrs. Greene 

 & Underbill. On Feb. 13 the water 

 rose above the fire pots in the boilers 

 and extinguished the fires, and though 

 ten men were set to work to pump the 

 water out it was several hours before 

 fires could be started again. 



This has naturally caused consider- 

 able loss, and coming at the busy plant 

 shipping season has been particularly 

 unpleasant, greatly delaying many 

 shipments. But they have their ship- 

 ping department now pretty well re- 

 organized and will soon be in shape to 

 take care of orders with their usual 

 jiromptness. 



LOUISIANA. 



Mr. Harry Papworth, of New Or- 

 leans, sends us a handsomely illus- 

 trated book on Louisiana and its re- 

 sources, and the pictures showing roses 

 and shrubs in bloom in February make 

 one weary of the blizzard raging in 

 Chicago at time of writing. The book 

 is entitled "Louisiana's Invitation," 

 and is issued by the Louisiana State 

 Board of Agriculture and Immigra- 

 tion, Baton Rouge, from which any 

 one contemplating removal to the 

 south can no doubt obtain a copy on 

 application. 



THE first issue of the Canadian 

 Gardeners' and Florists' Exchange has 

 reached us. The first n\imber con- 

 tains 12 pages, the pages about the 

 size of those of the Ueviow, and they 

 are filled with articles and trade items 

 of special interest to Canadian florists 

 and a goodly number of trade advs. 

 We welcome the youngster and trust 

 it may successfully fill its mission. It 

 is published at London, Ont, 



ELWOOD, IND.— -Wm. H. Woerner 

 has purchased the property and green- 

 houses of Mrs. M. E, Goode and will 

 erect a new ro.se house in time for 

 early planting.
