The Weekly Florists' Review, 



DES MOINES, IA. 



Trade is at it~ midsummer dullness. 

 The hustle is over with the store man 

 and at its meridian with the growers. 

 The latter is getting in soil for his car- 

 nations and topping them in the Geld 

 and, in fact, between his 'mums, ..una 

 1 ions and soil and hi- desire to go to 

 Milwaukee he finds himself busj 

 the pouring ray- of Old Sol, and the 

 store inan'- call ovi r the 'plum.' "to take 

 a day oil' and o n lishinj; with him." Then 

 there are the u-ual repairs that the ex- 

 perienced man attends to, which the less 

 experienced and thoughtless one lets go 

 until about time to start the fires for 

 winter. 



There i> -une Imilding this year. Chas. 

 l'.randtman i- Imilding two house- lSxlllll 

 on East Twenty-fifth and Walnut streets 

 Julius Liedig is removing his houses 

 from the ll led distrid to Wesl Seven- 

 teenth and Grand avenue. I cannol say 

 i- to whether he expects to enlarge or 

 not. W. I.. Morris will content himself 

 with his present range and build early 

 next year. 



J. F. Marshall, who began to drop his 

 pennies int.. a paint keg after the Ashe- 

 ville convention, so that he might go to 

 Milwaukee, -ay- the keg got mislaid and 

 as an "American beauty" came to their 

 nome a short time back and. a- they 

 have five boys and this is a girl, he 

 claims all this a good and sufficient ex 

 euse for remaining away from the Cream 

 City. So in all. I fear our representa- 

 tion at the convention will be small. 



Our park> are looking well, especially 

 Union Park, where the floral display i- 

 the finest in the state and Mr. Ftilmer 

 has many compliments passed on it daily. 

 The aquatic garden is also good, the 

 nelumbiums and nymphseas being espe- 

 cially fine. The "shrubbery that was 

 planted this spring at Union Park prom 

 ises well and the park eommis-iunors 

 are to he commended for their work in 

 this direction. .T. T. D. F. 



NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 



The past week there has been quite 

 Si lot of funeral work but not much 

 other trade. Sweet peas are more plenti- 

 ful this week than last. Carnations are 

 scarce and poor. Roses are coming bet- 

 ter; Kaiserin is the leader. 



The New Bedford Horticultural Club 

 met July 25. Between fifteen and 

 twenty members were present. William 

 Keith presided and said the purpose of 

 -the meeting was to arrange for the fall 

 flower show. Dennis Shea submitted a 

 schedule. It was voted to add fruit to 

 the list. It is planned to hold the show- 

 in City Hall. September 17 and IS. When 

 the matter of judges came up. the mem- 

 bers suggested that the services of James 

 Parker, of Boston, be secured, while 

 others favored selecting judges from their 

 own members. It was finally voted to 

 give the executive commitee full power to 

 select judges. The matter of admission 

 fee was also left to the committee.

Thripscide 



** 



Greenhouse Fumigating Powder 



Is the newest and best article on the market 

 to-day for the complete destruction of all 

 insects that infest (ireeiihi. uses or Conserva- 

 tories, being a special boon to Rose and 

 Beauty t'muns and prepared particularly for 

 the destruction of Greenfly and Thrips. 

 There is nothing injurious in it to plant life, 

 even the most delicate fern. It is especially 

 recommended for Beauties. Roses, Carna- 

 tions, Chrysanthemums, Lilies. Smilax. 

 Asparagus, Palms. Ferns, etc . and we claim 

 that insects will lie entirely .-radicated when 

 the houses are thoroughly fumigated with 

 the powder. It is put up as follows:
