The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



April 17, 1902. 



MADISON, N. J. 



The Morris County GardcDers and Flor- 

 ists held their regular meeting in Ma- 

 sonic Hall, Madison, on "Wednesday last. 

 The attraction of the ev3ning was a 

 fine exhibit of carnation Adonis 

 brought on from Philadelphia by Mr. 

 W. P. Craig, who made a few remarks 

 concerning it. Adonis and Gaiety were 

 also sent by Mr. E. G. Hill, of Rich- 

 mond, but unfortunately arrived after 

 the meeting was over. They came 

 through in good shape, and it was a 

 pity that those present were unable to 

 see this grand lot of flowers. A certifi- 

 cate of merit was awarded to Mr. Craig. 



Mr. W. H. Thomas exhibited magnifi- 

 cent frams-grown Marie Louise violets, 

 and promised to read a paper on his cul- 

 tural methods at a later date. 



Mr. Charles H. Totty was the essayist 

 of the evening, ehrysanthemunis the 

 theme, and it is needbss to say the sub- 

 ject was well handled, many of those 

 present availing themselves of the op- 

 portunity to imbibe at this fountain of 

 mum wisdom the questions submitted to 

 the essayist, bringing out essential points 

 of good culture. 



A draft of the schedule was submitted 

 and diseussad, and will be complete by 

 the next meeting. It was also announced 

 that Professor J. B. Smith, of the New 

 Jersey E,\periment Station, would lec- 

 ture at the Mav meeting on "Garden 

 Pests." " ir. 



GERMANTOWN, PA, 



The Germantown Hcirticultural Soi-ictv 

 held its April meeting on Monday. Edw. 

 C. Jeilett read an excellent paper on 

 wild gardening and its meaning. The 

 attendance was very large. The features 

 of the exhibition were three lino vases 

 of Beauties, John Burton taking first, 

 Joseph Heacock second. J. W. Voung 

 was first on teas, with Sunrise. The 

 American Kose Co. sent a fine vase of 

 Ivory. There were many other fine ex- 

 hibits. Phil. 



HEAVY PACKAGES. 



On the 3d inst. I received a shipment 

 of plants from California on which the 

 express charges were $6.00, though the 

 bill for the plants was only $2.00. The 

 plants weighed only 21 pounds, while the 

 box without packing material weighed 

 38 pounds. 



Please remind shippers through your 

 paper to use packing material as light 

 as possible and not to use a lOO-pouud 

 box for plants weighing 5 pounds. 



Austin, Tex. W. Tell. 



Jacksonville, Fla. — C. D. Mills re- 

 ports his Easter trade as fully 25 per 

 cent, better than an}' previous year. He 

 sold out on cut flowers and practically so 

 on flowering plants, but was able to sup- 

 ply all demands. He was short of Har- 

 risii plants, but a fine lot of callas, hy- 

 drangeas and azaleas sold well. He notes 

 a better appreciation of and a growing 

 demand for the best in flowers and plants 

 and a willingness to pay fair prices for 

 same. 



A Se.^sonable Hint. — This is a good 

 time to order a copy of the Florists' 

 Manual, by William Scott, if you do not 

 alread^y have a copy. It costs $5, but 

 contains more matter of real value to 

 florists than a library of other books 

 costing from $50 to $75.
