The Weekly Florists* Review. 



Maech 17, 1904. 



NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 



Business has been very good the past 

 two weeks, it being quite au improvement 

 over wliat we have had all winter. 



A. B. Hathaway has been doing his 

 own tiring this winter and one night re- 

 cently, when Andrew happened to stay 

 away later than usual, he found, upoii 

 his return, a tramp occupying his bed. 

 We have not yet found out who was the 

 most frightened, the tramp or Andrew. 



E. S. Hoxie, of Mattapoisett, is bring- 

 ing in some of the finest white carnations 

 that have been on the market for some 

 time, variety Boston Market. 



The annual meeting, supper and elec- 

 tion of otfieers of the Xew Bedford Flor- 

 ists' Club was held at the Manuin House, 

 March 10. The following oflBcers were 

 elected: President, E. Y. Pierce; vice- 

 president, A. B. Hathaway; treasurer, 

 W. L. G. Brown; secretary, Wm. Pierce; 

 executive committee, R. S. Hoxie, S. S. 

 Peckham and James H. Cleary. A. B. 

 Hathaway read an essay, "Violets and 

 What I Know About Them, ' ' which was 

 written by E. Y. Pierce and was very in- 

 teresting. Otto Sucher is to write an 

 essay on bulbs, Dutch and American 

 grown, for the next meeting. 



Wm. Anderson, of Anderson & Wil- 

 liams, Waltham, and Mr. Br.vant, of A. 

 H. Hews & Co., Cambridge, were recent 

 visitors. C. 



A SHADED HOUSE. 



I have a vacant piece of ground north 

 of my dwelling and am thinking of 

 building a greenhouse there, but about 

 thirty feet of the greenhouse would be 

 shaded until eleven or twelve o'clock. 

 Would such a house be suitable for car- 

 nations? M. T. O. 



The absence of sunshine during the 

 forenoon would have a very weakening 

 effect on carnations and would result in 

 very weak stems, with flowers off color. 

 Such a house might be suitable for palms, 

 ferns and some kind of miscellaneous 

 stock which requires a partial shade. To 

 build on such a contracted space would 

 be unsatisfactory, the conditions being 

 decidedly unfavorable. Eibes. 



Winchester, N. H. — Wm. P. Flint, 

 who, besides being a florist, was a sur- 

 veyor, died Iilarch 5 of pneumonia.
