The Weekly Florists^ Review, 



FEBRUARY 10. 1S9S. 



SPRINGFIELD, MASS. 



Encouraged by the bright outlook- 

 Violets selling for $3 per 100, for in- 

 stance— Aitkin & Son have purchased 

 the Herrick property and will at once 

 commence tearing down and rebuilding 

 the same. The land consists of two 

 acres, situated at a convenient distance 

 from the center of the city, where the 

 store is located. Upon the best site Mark 

 Aitkin will erect his dwelling house. 

 With barn. etc. Running back will be 

 the range of 14.000 square feet of glass 

 devoted chiefly to carnations and vio- 

 lets, with a house for palms. This will 

 be, when completed this spring, one of 

 the snuggest little ranches in New 

 England. 



W. F. Gale I'eports quite a sale at 

 Christmas and New Year's. Business 

 has calmed down somewhat, but is very 

 satisfactory. 



Charles Miller has taken to wearing 

 glasses, although he says they are not 

 needed to see those grand roses that 

 A. N. Pierson is shipping him.

LENOX, MASS. 



On January 2Sth the Lenox Horticul- 

 tural Society held its annual ball and 

 thanks to the committee of arrange- 

 ments was a very successful affair. The 

 assembly rooms were very tastefully 

 decorated with laurel wreathing and 

 hemlock, with a wealth of bunting, in- 

 cluding a valuable collection of silk 

 flags of all nations; it being a very 

 cosmopolitan affair this was very ap- 

 propriate. 



The following well known Lenox 

 "craftsmen" were on the committees: 

 Arrangement, J. F. Huss. E. J. Nor- 

 man; reception, Geo. Thompson. Alex 

 McConnaehie. A. H. Wingate, James 

 R. Paul, E. Jenkins. A. J. Loveless. The
