shape. The lunch committee, Mr. Bar- 

 net, Mr. Curran, Mr. Boxell and Mr. 

 Thompson, certainly deserve much 

 praise for the bountiful layout. It was 

 simply perfect and everyone enjoyed 

 it. After lunch and a few speeches, 

 especially noteworthy the one of Mr. 

 Cook, inviting us all to Cleveland, not 

 only for the convention but at any 

 time, we were off to our next stop, 

 W. B. Schiller (E. E. Norton, garden- 

 er). This place we found in good 

 shape. The next stop was at W. P 

 Snyder's (Wm. Thompson, gardener) 

 It is a magnificent place and well 

 taken care of. Especially noteworthy 

 were two specimen Staghom ferns 

 (Platicerium Alcicorne) and the formal 

 garden planted solid with pink geran- 

 iums. At the next stop, W. R. Willock 

 (R. Boxel, gardener), a fine vegetable 

 garden greeted us and everj-tliing else 

 was in good shape. Mrs. E. M. Horn's 

 fManus Curran, gardener) was the 

 next stop. Everything painted to cred- 

 itable management and the onions 

 were some onions. The next stop in 

 the order named: H. D. Darlington, 

 .Ir. (Rob. Clark, gardener), Alex M. 



Laughlin (Thos. Sturgis, gardener), 

 Mrs. Wm. Thaw. Jr. (John M. Jones, 

 gardener). All these places showed 

 skillful care and attention. The an- 

 nual and perennial gardens on the 

 Laughlin estate, the rockery and fine 

 lawn on the Thaw place, and the hot- 

 house grapes on the Mason place are 

 well worth mentioning. The last stop 

 was at the summer home of Mrs. H. R. 

 Reah (Alex. Davidson, gardener). The 

 evergreens and perennial borders are 

 worth seeing. Mr. Davidson certainly 

 deserves much credit for his able and 

 efficient management. We all went 

 home with a happy heart and joyful 

 anticipation of another field day next 

 year.

THE MARKET 



The market remains very dull with 

 sellers ready to accept almost any 

 price that is offered. Business is al- 

 ways quiet in the summer and this 

 season is no exception. But few 

 changes have been noted this week. 

 Lilium longiflorum has made quite a 

 jump in several markets and has been 



quoted the past week at 20c. Valley is 

 coming in slowly and has gone up a 

 little. Cattleyas also have taken an 

 ujiward turn and good stock Is now 

 selling at $2. In the Boston market 

 Russell and Premier are again the 

 top notchers in the roses and bring 

 iL'c: most other sliort-stemmed stock 

 is down to 3c. Naturally there is a 

 great flood of gladioli. It seems that 

 this branch of production is being a 

 little overdone. The prices run up to 



3 cents, and some stock is practically 

 given away. The same applies to 

 a.-<ters. although very good asters brini: 



4 cents. It is everybody's market and 

 dull after the first hour. 



A MESSAGE TO THE LADIES' 



SOCIETY OF AMERICAN 



FLORISTS 



It was a very great disappointment 

 to me to leave convention activities 

 before the session closed, and a mat- 

 ter of deep regret that I could not 

 thank the Ladies' Society of American 

 Florists, personally for their gracious 

 gift. I am not only proud to possess 

 this beautiful silver bowl as a testi- 

 monial of the loyalty and friendship of 

 the members, but proud to possess it 

 through having served you as your 

 president. It is now filled with 

 luscious pears and apples and in daily 

 use, it will be a constant reminder of 

 years of pleasant association with the 

 L. S. A. F. 



With very deep appreciation and 

 gratitude and with all good wishes for 

 the future welfare of the association. 

 I am 



Most sincerely. 

 Mrs. B. ILvmmond Tract. 

 (President of L. S. A. F.) 



Poehlman Bros., of Chicago, have 

 added Edwin G. Westman, formerly of 

 the Burdette Floral Co., St. Louis, to 

 their staff. It is expected that Jlr. 

 Weiss will represent the company on 

 the road. 



Mr. Nick Shroeder, of the Swiss 

 Floral Co., Portland, Ore., has started 

 for his home in Switzerland, where he 

 will spend a short vacation.
