The Florists^ Review 



Mabch 9, 1916. 



the blooming, giant azaleas, the great 

 bed of tulips around the fountain, the 

 soft grass mat walks — all were per- 

 fect. The paths led in and out among 

 beds of flowers to rustic seats half con- 

 cealed by foliage — "For holding 

 hands," Mr. Habermehl gaily remarked. 

 The whole formed a decoration, in 

 beauty, conception and execution, in 

 every detail, surpassing anything ever 

 seen in this city. 



The Club's Sweet Pea Night. 



A large and extremely enthusiastic 

 meeting of the Florists' Club was held 

 at Horticultural hall on the evening of 

 March 7. National Flower Show af- 

 fairs were discussed and Howard M. 

 Earl delivered his talk on the sweet 

 pea. It was sweet pea night and a 

 wonderful exhibition of orchid-flower- 

 ing varieties was staged. 



The Gude Bros. Co., of Washington, 

 D. C, exhibited eighty-one orchid peas. 

 A. Harvey & Son, of Brandywine Sum- 

 mit, Pa.; Walter Scarlett, Yeatman & 

 Way, both of Kennett Square, Pa., and 

 others staged vases of fine peas. The 

 Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co., of Pitts- 

 burgh, sent Eose Antoine Kivoire and 

 the Gude Bros. Co. also showed Mock, 

 Radiance and Red Radiance. 



Various Notes. 



R. T. Brown, of the Cottage Gardens 

 Co., Queens, N. Y., did not receive a 

 notification that he was expected to 

 speak before the Philadelphia Florists' 

 Club, on the newer carnations, Tuesday 

 evening, February 1. 



Walter Davis closed his wholesale 

 florists' store at 1713 Ranstead street 

 Tuesday, February 29. Mr. Davis, who 

 is suffering from the effects of an in- 

 jury to his head, received some time 

 ago when struck by a wildly driven 

 motor, is in the hospital for treatment. 

 While the injury did not seem serious 

 at the time, the pain resulting from it 

 has been persistently annoying. 



The Philadelphia Cut Flower Co. is 

 handling the consignments and business 

 of Walter Davis. There are shipments 

 of exceptionally fine lilac and Yarrawa 

 sweet peas. 



Fred J. Michell, Sr., accompanied by 

 Mrs. Michell and Miss Michell, left 

 March 1 for a short sojourn in Ber- 

 muda. This is Mr. Michell 's first real 

 holiday in many years of hard work. 

 His friends, one and all, wish him a 

 delightful time. 



The M. Rice Co. is perfecting plans 

 for its 3-square move to 1220 Spring 

 Garden street, next summer. The com- 

 pany is pleased that the director of 

 work plans turning Spring Garden 

 street, from Twelfth to Broad, into a 

 modern boulevard. 



William Swayne, of Kennett Square, 

 during the closing days of the season 

 sent some superb apple blossoms and 

 yellow and white snapdragons to Wil- 

 liam J. Baker. 



Jacob Duetscher, that genial com- 

 moner, says that March 4 was a red- 

 letter day for the P. W. F. E. 



George S. Hampton, the happy bride- 

 groom of the supply world, is hard at 

 work getting out the Joseph G. Neid- 

 inger Co. orders. 



Frank P. Myers is enjoying a respite 

 from business cares in Florida.
