The Weekly Florists' Review* 



791 



New Pink Chrysanthemum Mile. Marie Liger. 



made by 7 a. m. This, no doubt, will 

 stop the offense. 



At a meeting of the Florists' Club to 

 be held next Wednesday evening, Novem- 

 ber 12, President Falconer will exhibit 

 a collection of new varieties of chrys- 

 anthemums. Mr. Falconer went to New 

 York as one of the judges of the big 

 chrysanthemum show. 



Randolph & McClements decorated 

 Carnegie Library, Art Gallery, and 

 Music Hall for Founders' day last 

 Tliursday. The decorations were very 

 elaborate. 



The Pittsburg Rose and Carnation 

 Co., at Bakerstown, are cutting some 

 good carnations of White Cloud, Law- 

 son, Goethe, Marquis, Joost, and Mr. 

 Burki's pet red one, Hector. 



Hoo-Hoo. 



CHICAGO, 



In addition to the report on the 

 market, to be found elsewhere in this 

 issue, it might be stated that some ex- 

 tra fine Timothy Eaton and Appleton 

 niimis are now arriving. Robinson and 

 Whilldin are now practically all cut out. 

 Bonnaffon is now much in evidence, and 

 Autumn Glory, Xeno, Lavender Queen 

 and White Bonnaffon have made their 

 appearance, while Ivory, White Ivory, 

 Morel, Pennsylvania, Bassett, Hurrell, 

 Wanamaker, Mayflower, Lady Hanham 

 and Childs are still with us. 



The annual exhibition of the Horticul- 

 tural Society and the Chrysanthemimi 

 Society of America opens at the Art 

 Institute next Tuesday. Every grower 

 for the Chicago market should be rep- 

 resented by a display. Tlie annual meet- 

 ing of the Chrysanthemum Society will 

 be held in connection with the exhibi- 



tion, and the annual banquet of the 

 Florists' Club will take place during 

 the show. 



The reports from Kansas City are in- 

 teresting a good many Chicago growers 

 just now. The fact that Peter Rein- 

 berg captured first and Benthey & Co. 

 second in the contest for the big prizes 

 for 100 American Beauties is cause for 

 some local pride. 



Kennicott Bros. Co. are receiving 

 some extra fine Marie Louise violets 

 from a Wisconsin grower. 



McKellar & Winterson have enlarged 

 their weekly bulletin to blanket sheet 

 size. It's now almost a catalogue. 



Hughes, the W. Van Buren street 

 florist, has issued an announcement of 

 his "Annual chrysanthemum show" and 

 the dates given are "Oct. 22 to Dee. 31." 



Leonard Kill, of Peter Reinberg's and 

 L. Coatsworth, of Benthey & Co., are in 

 Kansas City this week doing a few 

 things in the rose classes at the K. C. 

 show.

Dbeshertown, Pa. — The employes at 

 the nursery of Thomas Meehan & Sons, 

 who have for some time past been study- 

 ing botany at the nursery office, have 

 now formally organized a society under 

 the title Tliomas Meehan Horticultural 

 Society, and have elected officers as fol- 

 lows: Robert B. Cridland, Pres.; Ern- 

 est Manning, Vice pres. : S. Newman Bax- 

 ter, Sec. and Treas. The society is ex- 

 clusively for employes and all are eligi- 

 ble, from the boy who pulls weeds to the 

 oldest veteran. At the meetings the dis- 

 cussions are eminently practical and as 

 a result the employers as well as the em- 

 ployes are benefited. The plan is worthy 

 of adoption by all firms having a con- 

 siderable number of employes.
