The Weekly Florists' Review* 



MAY II, 1»(M. 



MADISON, N. J. 



The regular mee.ing of the Morris 

 County Gardeners and Florists was 

 held at the Masonic Hall on Wednes- 

 <iay last, with President Dufkham in 

 the chair. 



It having been decided at a previous 

 meeting to proceed at once to the 

 preparation of a schedule for the fall 

 show, this was the main business of 

 the evening. The president reported 

 having secured the Madison Assembly 

 rooms for the dates chosen. November 

 7 and 8. A schedule was next drafted, 

 but cannot be completed until the 

 June meeting, as the committee hav- 

 ing this matter in charge are assidu- 

 ously working up the special prize 

 feature, and quite a few donors of 

 prizes have yet to be heard from. 



Among those already announced aie 

 a prize of $50.00 offered by H. McK 

 Twombly. for 3(i chrysanthemums in 

 c varieties, blooms of each- $25 0(i 

 offered by D. Willis Jones. ' for 18 

 blooms in 3 varieties: and the "Fair 

 Oaks" prize of $10.00 for 12 blooms, 

 from Mrs. G. P. Stone. Similar spe- 

 cial prizes will be announced later for 

 the plant group and rose classes, also 

 for vegetables, and the interest al- 

 leady manifested is a happy augury 

 of another successful show. H 



TOLEDO, O. 



A hailstorm heavier than we have 

 had for 1.5 years visited Toledo in the 

 afternoon of Monday, May 7, causing 

 heavy losses to the trade. S. M. 

 Peck's Broadway greenhouses are al- 

 most a total wreck, as is also the 

 downtown establishment of Imobers- 

 tag Bros., comprising C.fJOO feet of 

 glass. Henry Krueger and H. A. Mills, 

 of East Toledo, also suffeied quite 

 heavy losses. 



At the other establishments the 

 damage done was light, the heaviest 

 part of the storm seeming to have fol- 

 lowed the -Muddy Maumee" river. 



No hail insurance was carried, but 

 you bet there will be some lively 

 hustling to get insurance. The hail- 

 stones averaged about the size of 

 hickory nuts, but a few were found as 

 large as small hens' eggs. Plants un- 

 der the broken glass do not seem to 

 have been seriously damaged. 



The Wal bridge Park conservatories 

 were damaged considerably in the 

 palm section. This structure was only 

 built last summer. F. A. I. O. 



MILWAUKEE. 

 On May C this city was a great bou- 

 quet of trailing arbutus. Women went 

 to church with the pretty little llower 

 nestling in their bosoms: men wore 

 boutonnieres of arbutus, and children 

 toddled along, crumpling it in their 

 chubby fingers. The flowers came from 

 Rhinelander and Tomahawk and Iheir 

 distribution this morning marked the 

 climax of a happy suggestion for ar- 

 butus day made by Lester A. Rose, 

 secretary of the Advancement Associa-
