The Weekly Florists^ Review.

CINCINNATI, O. 



Club Meeting — Exhibition. 



I The exhibit at the regular monthly 

 meeting of the Cincinnati Florists' 

 Society at the Jabez Elliott Flower 

 Market was held January S and was con- 

 sidered to have been one of the best so far 

 held under the schedule of 1897-S. 

 Violets were to be the feature of the ex- 

 hibition, but owing to their scarcity they 

 were somewhat overshadowed by the 

 gratid display of carnations and roses. 

 I -E.G. Hill & Co.'s collection of seed- 

 lings was unusually fine and well grown. 

 The same may be said of his vase of 

 Flora Hill. Air. Hill was awarded a 

 special certificate. A. Sunderbruch's Sons 

 were as usual in the lead with some well 

 grown foliage and flowering plants. The 

 City Greenhouses made a good display of 

 decorative plants and orchids. George 

 and Allen made the best general displa}-, 

 consisting mostly of roses and bulbous 

 flowers. Wni. Murph}' showed some well 

 grown carnations, standard varieties. R. 

 Witterstaetter's Opal, new pink, Evelina, 

 white, were greatly admired. 



In the evening the election of officers 

 took place with the following result: R. 

 Witterstaetter, president; A. Sunderbruch, 

 Jr., vice-president: H.Schwarz, secretary: 

 Ben George, treasurer; Wni. Murphy, 

 <iirector. Lunch and refreshments were 

 served at the close of the meeting.

KINSMAN QUEEN MUSKMELON. 



'^-This new muskmelon seems to be 

 meeting with considerable favor among 

 market gardeners who have tried it. It 

 is being introduced b\' Mr. Frank 

 Banning, seedsman and florist, Kins- 

 man, O., and his plan of having the 

 melon tested by market gardeners in vari- 

 ous sections of the country before offering 

 it to the catalogue trade is certainl}- to be 

 commended, and shows confidence in its 

 merits. It is undoubtedly worthy a 

 thorough trial by an)- grower of melons.
