The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



MAY 19. 1S9S. 



CINCINNATI. 



Cincinnati Florists' Society. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Cincinnati Florists' Society was held 

 last Saturday evening, with a fair at- 

 tendance. Henry Wellmann was elect- 

 ed to membership in the society. 



The banquet committee made their 

 report through Henry Schwarz. who 

 stated that all arrangements had been 

 completed and that thus far only 37 

 had signified their desire to attend. 

 All who wish to be present on this fes- 

 tive occasion should notify the com- 

 mittee in charge without delay. The 

 banquet will take place at the club 

 rooms on Wednesday evening. May 

 L'.'ith, at 8 p. m. 



President Witterstaetter was author- 

 ized to procure suitable medals to be 

 awarded to the winners in the exhibi- 

 tion contest. A vote of thanks was ex- 

 tended to the out-of-town brethern 

 who have contributed so liberally to 

 the success of these exhibitions during 

 the past season. 



The Exhibition. 



The display of plants and cut flowers 

 was equal to any previously given by 

 the society, although the only exhibit- 

 ors were A. Sunderbruch's Sons, City 

 Oreenhouses, and Henry Schwarz. The 

 latter had a fine collection of coleus 

 showing good color, w^hile the others 

 did their best to surpass each other in 

 their respective displays. 



A. Sunderbruch's Sons succeeded in 

 being first, with 2.'! points to spare. 

 Their display was an excellent one in 

 every sense. They had a fine collec- 

 tion of cut stock, principally roses and 

 carnations. Notable among their 

 plants was a specimen of Santilobium 

 cicutarium, also specimen plants of 

 Pandanus Veitchii, Metrosideros sem- 

 perflorens. Dracaena fragrans and D. 

 indivisa. They also had a nice collec- 

 tion of ferns, among them some well 

 grown Nephrolepis exaltata Boston- 

 iensis. Among their blooming plants 

 I noted some fine hydrangeas, which* 

 were greatly admired. 



The City Greenhouses had a beauti- 

 ful collection of orchids. Notable 

 among them were Cattleya Caudatura, 

 Odontoglossum citrosmum, and Cypri- 

 pedium Lawrencianum, which proved 

 quite an attraction. They also had a 

 collection of fancy leaved caladiums, 

 which made a beautiful display. Their 

 calceolarias were well done and re- 

 ceived their share of praise. B.
