The Weekly Florists' Review. 



JULY 31, 1902. 



KANSAS CITY, MO. 



Business, from the retailer's stand- 

 point at least, is down to the ordinary 

 summer volume. This means that aside 

 from the occasional batch of funeral 

 work business is "nit." Sweet peas, 

 which sold well earlier in the season, are 

 a glut and your correspondent knows of 

 at least one case where they were re- 

 tailed at three bunches for a dime. 

 Asters are in and of good quality, but 

 don't seem to go with the spirit exhib- 

 ited in former years. Some roses have 

 made their appearance, cut from this 

 year's planting, but they are of a very 

 poor order, and the market would be 

 better off without them. 



Your former correspondent, Harry 

 Millatt, has left us for Seattle, Wash. 

 Harry writes us on the way that he is 

 enjoying the trip and will stop over at 

 Salt Lake City a few days. 



Relatives of Arthur Newell have re- 

 ceived word that he arrived safely on 

 the other side of the water, a few pounds 

 lighter, but Arthur can spare that. 



Ben Humiston passed through here on 

 his way to Chicago, after having been 

 for some time with Geo. M. Kellogg, at 

 Pleasant Hill, Mo. Ben is an exception- 

 ally good rose grower, and we wish him 

 success in his new field.

Marion, Ind. — Gunnar Teilmann is cut- 

 ting a tine crop of Queen of the Market 

 asters which he is shipping to E. C. Am- 

 ling, Chicago. J. W. Bernard has built a 

 fine ofiice and is rebuilding three of his 

 liouses. F. W. Herleman has added a 

 propagating house. Gunnar Teilmann has 

 built a $400 shed and oifice and is re- 

 building two houses. Chrysanthemums 

 are all planted and are looking fine. 

 Carnations in the field never looked bet- 

 ter. Preparations to house them will 

 begin at once. 



Clarksville, Tenn. — James Morton, 

 the florist, made an assignment July 21, 

 naming Quint C. Atkinson assignee. The 

 liabilities are $4,675.12, with assets con- 

 sisting of his garden and equipments, 

 upon which are mortgages to the amount 

 of $3,500, and accounts amounting to 

 $424.60. The failure is attributed to 

 the hail storm of a year ago, which dev- 

 astated the garden and greenhouses and 

 caused Mr. Morton to fall behind with 

 his out-of-town creditors. 



Jamestown, N. Y.— The Lake View 

 Rose Gardens and the Walter Mott Seed 

 & Bulb Co., are making extensive and 

 very attractive exhibits at the Celeron 

 Chamber of Commerce Exposition, in 

 which all the leading manufacturers and 

 merchants of the city are represented. 

 The seed company has lately made some 

 very attractive window displays at the 

 store that have been warmly praised by 

 the local press. 



Referring to his adv. in the Review, 

 Mr. A. C. Oelschig, Savannah, Ga., 

 writes: "Results proved very satisfac- 

 tory. All we could do to fill orders." 



A FtrLL report of the Asheville conven- 

 tion will appear in our Convention Num- 

 ber, to be issued Aug. -1st. 



Excursions Abandonded. 



Excursions to New York City, Atlantic 

 City and Montreal, advertised by the

THE CHRYSANTHEMUM SOCIETY.

 themum Society of America will be held

Dayton, O. — The Miami Floral Co. is 

 erecting three 200-ft. houses on South 

 Broadway for fancy carnations, the de- 

 mand for these flowers having greatly ex- 

 panded. Mr. E. C. Bissell is the practical 

 man in charge and on that account it is 

 safe to predict success. The new com- 

 pany is composed of Messrs. Wm. Kil- 

 faber, Chas. E. Pease and W. G. Mat- 

 thews. The latter is also proprietor of 

 the Dayton Floral Co. They have 11% 

 acres of excellent land and the buildings 

 are thoroughly modern. 



Macon, Ga. — The twenty-sixth annual 

 session and exhibition of the Georgia 

 State Horticultural Society will be held 



here Aug. 6th and 7tli. A very interest- 

 ing and instructive program is an- 

 nounced. A rate of one and one-third 

 fares for the round tHp to this city on 

 the certificate plan has been granted by 

 the railroads from all points in Georgia, 

 Alabama, Tennessee and South Carolina. 

 Copies of the program and other infor- 

 mation may be had by addressing the 

 secretary, Mr. L. A. Berckmans, Augus- 

 ta, Ga.
