November 4, 1911 



Pavilion is virtually a Crystal Palace, 

 so situated tliat thousands of people 

 can visit it. The dates are January 

 10 l! and 12, 1912; admission is fixed 

 at 25 cents straight, no cuts. The roses 

 and carnations will occupy the floor and 

 the sides will be well decorated. Chi- 

 cago will be represented and Canada 

 will do her best. Detroit is very cen- 

 tral and with R. R. facilities unsur- 

 passed. At Boston last spring it was 

 noticeable that, no matter what the 

 other attractions, the crowd surged 

 toward the roses every day the show 

 was open. 



President Farenwald has called a 

 meeting to prepare the prize list and 

 as soon as completed the same will be 

 sent out without delay. The Rose So- 

 ciety is making an effort to secure a 

 list of accurate registrations and there 

 arises from time to time conflicting 

 claims as to priority of names. Silver 

 medals have been sent to Robert Scott 

 & Son, Sharon Hill, Pa., and to S. J. 

 Reuter & Son, Westerly, R. I. A gold 

 medal was voted to M. H. Walsh of 

 Woods Hole, Mass., in recognition of 

 the work done by him in the develop- 

 ment of climbing roses, a line of flori- 

 culture that has taken hold of the 

 American public for summer home 

 decoration in a manner that is visible 

 the country over, literally exemplify- 

 ing the motto "A Rose for Every 

 Home, a Bush for Every Garden."

 cooperation and support of the com- 

 mercial interests is especially sought 

 and those who have novelties or any-

 either in chrysanthemums or anything 

 else are urged to send them, to arrive

 Tuesday morning, November 7, and

BOSTON FLOWER EXCHANGE. 



The annual banquet of the Boston 

 Flower Exchange, Inc., was held at 

 Young's Hotel on October 28 at 8 P. 

 M.. About one hundred stock hold- 

 ers and guests were present and it was 

 a very pleasant enjoyable affair. Wm. 

 C. Stickel presided and proved, as 

 usual, a very witty toastmaster. Among 

 the speakers were J. T. Butter worth, 

 Thomas Pegler, Wm. H. Elliott, A. C. 

 Parker and W. J. Thurston. W. N. 

 Craig and Robert Cameron spoke for 

 the trade press. The meeting opened 

 with the reading of a letter from E. 

 Allan Peirce which was simply a pros- 

 pective of what the Flower Growers' 

 Association was doing and intended to 

 do and what a similar combination 

 was doing in New York. The old 

 officers and board of directors were re- 

 elected. A resolution was passed in- 

 structing the clerks of the meeting to 

 forward a letter of condolence ta E. 

 Allan Peirce on the death of his lit- 

 tle daughter, which was done.

Newport, R. i. — Florists here had a 

 busy time last week getting out 

 wreaths for the funeral of Ida Lewis, 

 the Grace Darling of America. So 

 numerous were the floral tributes that 

 two carriages were taxed to their capa- 

 eiry in carrying them to the cemetery. 

 The flowers included nearly every kind 

 in season. The gardening craft was 

 honored on this occasion by James 

 McLeish, the well-known grape grower 

 being selected as one of the honorary 

 bearers. Mr. McLeish has been a near 

 neighbor of the heroine for a great 

 many years.
