The Weekly Florists^ Review, 



March 26, 1903. 



UTICA, N. Y. 



Well, the battle has been fought and 

 -we acknowledge our defeat. A delega- 

 tion of Syracuse florists visited this city 

 on Wednesday, March 18, as the guests 

 of the Utica "Florists' Club. They visit- 

 ed the greenhouses of Rowlands, Pfeiffer, 

 Mathews and Crowe, and spent some 

 time in visiting other places of interest. 

 At 6:30 o'clock in company with the 

 Utica florists they went to the Arcanum 

 Club, where a fine dinner had Ix-en pre- 

 pared by Caterer Stockhauser. Tliey re- 

 mained there until about 8:30, at which 

 time they left for Mannerchor Hall, 

 where a bowling contest was held. The 

 scores were:

It can be seea from the above scores 

 that the visitors were victorious by the 

 small margin of fifteen pins. The best 

 work for the Uticaa was done by Baker, 

 Spencer, Pfeiffer and Day, and for Syra- 

 cuse by Heller, Jr., and ferant. The vis- 

 itors left for home at 12:30 this morn- 

 ing, after having had a most enjoyable 

 time. Among the out-of-town florists 

 present were Benjamin Evans, of Schnec- 

 tady, N. Y. ; H. S. Brant, of Madison, N. 

 J.; M. Powers, of Canajoharie, N. Y., 

 and Stewart Hakes, of Ilion, N. Y. 



Mr. H. S. Brant, of Madison, N. J., 

 was here last week for a couple of days, 

 the guest of Peter Crowe, and we were 

 very much pleased to make his acquain- 

 tance. A few days before we also had the 

 pleasure of meeting another New Jersey 

 florist, Mr. Robert Simpson, of Clifton, 

 N.J. 



Mr. Van Teylenger, representative of 

 Van Zanten & Co., Holland, was a caller 

 a few days ago. 



We have had some very warm weather 

 here for a few days past. Seventy-seven 

 degrees in the shade was a little too warm 

 for most Easter stock. Lilies will be 

 short.

WORCESTER, MASS. 



The executive committee of the New 

 England Association of Park Superin- 

 tendents met here March 18 and ar-

 June 23, 24 and 25. The party included 

 Messrs. Fitts of Providence, Egerton of 

 Albany, Anthony of Taunton, Wirth and 

 Parker of Hartford, Richardson of Con- 

 cord. Hemingway of Worcester and Pet- 

 tigrew and Duncan of Boston. 



They spent the following day in visit-

 the able guidance of Commissioners Had-
