The Weekly Florists' Review. 



March 13. 1902. 



AWARDING PRIZES. 



In a recent issue of the Eeview ilr. 

 Scott referred to the failure of the 

 judges at Indianapolis to award first 

 premium to a vase of flowers that were 

 certainly tine enough to be worthy of it. 

 Mr. Scott is right in saying that such de- 

 cisions deter e.'ihibitors from competing 

 in future exhibitions. When prizes are 

 offered for first, second and third best 

 entries, I can see no justice in failing to 

 give the best one first prize, unless of 

 course it is very poor. 



I note that firsts were withheld in quite 

 a few classes at many of the floral exhibi- 

 tions. I would like to know if this is to 

 be a general practice. Are the judges to 

 blame, or are they acting under instruc- 

 tions from the clubs and societies offer- 

 ing the premiums' 



Of course I don't advocate giving 

 premiums to inferior flowers of any kind, 

 but where the standard is as high as it 

 was at Indianapolis the premiums of- 

 fered should certainly have been 

 awarded. ExHreiTOR. 



HOLBROOK, MASS. 



Florists in tliis vicinity are saying lit- 

 tle and working steadily. Lively & Bond 

 have added another house, which is nearly 

 finished, to their alrea<ly 'sizeable plant 

 and are great hustlers in the carnation 

 business. 



Frank T. White is doing a large busi- 

 ness in bulbs and keeps a good quantity 

 in the market daily. He has also been 

 very successful in growing Lady Camp- 

 bell violets, for wliich he always has a 

 ready demand. 



Anthony G. Hanna's carnation houses 

 are looking fine and he has great suc- 

 cess in growing Ethel Crocker and Eldo- 

 rado of the highest grade, though many 

 growers in this vicinity have thrown those 

 varieties (nit as unsatisfactory. He has 

 also a large stock of fine cinerarias which 

 are going rajudly in the Boston market. 



We hear that M. L. Belcher, at the 

 north end of the town, contemplates add- 

 ing more glass to his plant this spring. 



X. 



Messrs. A. Dietseh & Co., Chicago, 

 have received a large number of orders 

 for their short roof style of houses. 

 Amongst others the Henry A. Dreer Co., 

 Philadelphia, have ordered twelve of 

 these houses, each 150 feet Jong. 



Don't fail to have an adv. in our spe- 

 cial spring number, to be issued next 

 week.
