The Florists' Review 



October 26, 1916. 



anthemums were at their height. Many 

 other varieties of muma are grown and 

 Mr. Siebold will root many cuttings for 

 spring sales. 



At the J. K. Wissler range, formerly 

 the G. G. Goldbach greenhouses, carna- 

 tions are doing well. Sweet peas are 

 grown and calla lilies are one of the 

 principal crops. 



The Eyening Session. 



In the evening, at 7:30, J. Otto 

 Thilow, of Philadelphia, gave us his il- 

 lustrated lecture on "A Trip Through 

 the Canadian Bockies and Their Wild 

 Flowers." The lecture was a treat and 

 thoroughly enjoyed by the large audi- 

 ence. In the afternoon Mr. Thilow had 

 lectured at the Iris Club, Mrs. Albert 

 M. Herr, president, on "Flowers from 

 Snow to Snow." 



Our guests for the day included our 

 genial friends, James Brown, Jr., of 

 Coatesville, and S. S. Pennock, of 

 Philadelphia. 



The flower show committee reported 

 progress and expects to have a good 

 show at the Hremenz Auditorium No- 

 vember 9 to 11. Exhibitors should 

 notify H. K. Eohrer, chairman, as to 

 their entries. H. K. B. 



TEBBE HAUTE, IND. 



John G. Heinl has just been elected 

 president of the Morris Plan Bank of 

 Terre Haute. It is the fifty-fourth or- 

 ganized in the United States since 1910. 

 These banks, which have had such a re- 

 markable growth, were started for the 

 protection of small borrowers from usu- 

 rious transactions of the money lenders 

 and were aimed principally at the loan 

 sharks. A man may secure a loan at a 

 low rate of interest upon two good 

 signatures. Bankers themselves have 

 endorsed the Morris Plan and in many 

 cities are serving as officers in the new 

 institutions. 



Mrn Heinl has practically retired from 

 the florists ' business, having been suc- 

 ceeded by his son. However, he is still 

 active in other fields, being the vice- 

 president of the Fort Harrison and a 

 director in the Indiana, two of the larg- 

 est building and loan associations in 

 the state. C. L. L. 



WOBCESTEB, MASS. 



The Market. 



Eetail trade has been good lately and 

 is improving every day. The cold 

 weather creates a better demand for 

 flowers. There have been a great many 

 weddings this month and the decora- 

 tions have been large. Social functions 

 are becoming more numerous. Violets 

 have been on the market for a month 

 and chrysanthemums are becoming 

 plentiful. Eoses are in great demand, 

 as usual. 



Various Notes. 



H. F. A. Lange has a fine showing of 

 wicker plant baskets, which are much 

 in vogue at present. His stock is ex- 

 clusive, so his customers are well 

 pleased when looking for originality. 



Harry Bandall reports business fine 

 and he is looking forward to a good 

 winter. He has a fine showing of Boston 

 ferns and is selling a great many of 

 them. His stock is in excellent condi- 

 tion and he carries nearly everything. 



At the October show of the 

 Worcester County Horticultural Society, 

 at Horticultural hall. Miss Lucy M. 

 Coulson received a silver medal for her
