The Weekly Florists* Review, 



JANUARY 27. 1S9S. 



LOUISVILLE, KY. 



Installation of Officers. 



Our newty elected officers were in- 

 stalled at a meeting held last week at 

 the store of Mr. Henry Nanz. Our 

 retiring president made some very ap- 

 propriate remarks to the members 

 present, thanking them for the kind 

 assistance whicli they had given him 

 during his term of office and asking 

 them to continue the same to the new 

 president. The incoming president 

 was presented with a pretty little 

 gavel, with his name engraved on a 

 silver plate. The auditing committee 

 read their report, which shows the so- 

 ciety to be in good financial standing. 



Mr. Witterstaeller had on view at 

 the meeting some blooms of his car- 

 nation, Evelina. The flowers were 

 very large and handsome and were 

 greatly admired. 



Quite a number of our florists have 

 signified their intention of attending 

 the meeting of the Carnation Society. 



Business is very dull here at present. 

 Romans and narcissus are this year a 

 drug on our market. 



SHARON, PA. 



At M. I. O'Brien's greenhouses I 

 found everything in fine condition ex- 

 cept his I'osps, which are unfortunate- 

 ly badly infested with eel-worms. He 

 has some fine seedling carnations, but 

 does not intend putting them on the 

 market. 



His orchids are in fine shape and the 

 cut for Christmas was large. He ships 

 most of his flowers to Pittsburg. Lo- 

 cal trade at Christmas was not up to 

 expectations and the retail trade has 

 been slow all winter. 



At John Murchie's most of the glass 

 is devoted to carnations. He has a 

 sport from Tidal Wave that is like its 

 parent in every respect except color, 

 which is a pleasing shade of red. He 

 also has a huge number of seedlings. 

 Silver Spray, as grown by Mr. Murchie, 

 shows no sign of having "run out." I 

 have never seen a finer lot of plants, 

 and it is the best paying white carna- 

 tion grown here. Geo. W. Gaskill.

The key to success is proper ven- 

 tilation and watering. The key to 

 proper ventilation is the Evans* 

 Challenge Ventilating Apparatus. 

 Works easily, does the work right, 

 built to last, always satisfactory. 

 No toy imitation but a machine to 

 do its work and do it well. Much 

 the cheapest in the end. Quaker
