The Weekly Florists' Review,

WESTERN FLORISTS MEET. 



Tlie midwinter gathering of the Per- 

 ry Florists' Association was held Feb- 

 ruary 4-5, at Albert Lea, Minn., enter- 

 tained by P. Clawsen & Son. The places 

 that were represented were Austin, Cres- 

 co, Dccorah, Charles City and Osage. 

 Everything at Clawsen's was looking its 

 best. Carnations are their specialty and 

 here are growing many new varieties. 

 Enchantress and Adonis were much ad- 

 mired. These varieties will have quite 

 a space in their houses next season. Eac!) 

 one went home carrying samples of the 

 two, as well as stock of same. Dorothy 

 Whitney was also looking fine and pro- 

 noimced a good yellow. 



These meetings are very helpful and 

 always enjoyed. Subjects of all kinds 

 are brought up for discussion and 

 in that way one gets lots of new 

 ideas, which they could not get in 

 any other way. A good story told now 

 and then by Jlr. Clawsen and responded 

 to by Mr. Symonds kept all in good hu- 

 mor. The inner-man was well provided 

 for, for which the ladies have our thanks. 

 W. T. Symonds. of Decorah, was elected 

 president for the next year and W. S. 

 Hall, of Osage, secretary and treasurer. 

 Tlie next meeting will be at Osage, la., 

 with W. S. Hall, the latter part of July. 

 A. X. Kinsman, of Austin. Minn., says 

 that his roses were never finer than this 

 winter, especially those growing in the 

 same soil for the third season. He will 

 add to his plant about one-third this 

 season, planting grafted roses. 



W. B. Perry, of Cresco, la., says busi- 

 ness is good and stock looks well. Here 

 may be seen Glacier carnations growing 

 to perfection. 



W. T. Symonds, of Decorah, keeps his 

 place up to date with a good business. 

 His display of carnations at the con- 

 vention showed that he knows how to 

 grow good ones. 



M. H. Wetherbee, of Charles City, re- 

 ports everything prosperous. He has had 

 lots of design work this season, which is 

 his specialty. 



E. M. Sherman, of Tlie Sherman Nurs- 

 ery Co., of Charles City, reports a good 

 cut of roses, with prospects of a fine 

 crop from now on. American Beauties 

 are their specialty and we think their 

 foreman knows how to grow them. 



W. S. Hall, of Osage, says business 

 is fair, with prospects of a good sprins. 

 His houses are filled with young stock, 

 such as is grown for catalogue trade, 

 which is his specialty. W. S. H. 



Boston, Mass. — John Washek, an Aus- 

 trian, dealing in florists' supplies in a 

 small way at 12 Hawley street, shot him- 

 self January 28. He leaves a widow and 

 seven children. 



The Review is as necessary to the suc- 

 cessful florist, as air and water to his 

 plants. — W. W. Nash, Montrose, Pa.
