The Florists' Review 



lis 



NEWPOET, R. I. 



A hearing was given a few days ago 

 to Henry J. Hass on his claim of $375 

 for damages to his wagon and contents 

 by a collision with a piece of the city's 

 fire apparatus. The matter has been 

 held for further consideration. 



Charles Matley, for many years in 

 charge of the greenhouses and grounds 

 of the Bennett estate, has resigned to 

 engage in the greenhouse business for 

 himself. 



Arthur W. Potter has been summoned 

 for grand jury duty and Thomas J. 

 Dugan and Henry S. Kesson for petit 

 duty. 



William Gray was a recent business 

 visitor to New York. 



Mr. and Mrs. William MacKay have 

 returned from a trip to New York. 



Albert J. Smythe, of Wadley & 

 Smythe, had an exciting experience a 

 few days ago. A horse attached to a 

 delivery wagon belonging to the firm 

 ran wild on Broadway. Mr. Smythe and 

 another man started in pursuit in an 

 automobile. As the machine was pass- 

 ing the horse Mr. Smythe stepped out 

 to seize the animal, but on missing his 

 footing he was hurled heavily to the 

 ground. The wheels of the auto passed 

 over his left leg and the wagon then 

 struck the prostrate man. Mr. Smythe, 

 although badly shaken up and bruised, 

 escaped with no broken bones. The 

 horse was stopped a short distance from 

 where Mr. Smythe fell. W. H. M. 



OYSTER BAY, N. Y. 



The regular meeting of the Oyster 

 Bay Horticultural Society was held in 

 Firemen's hall, November 22, President 

 Walker presiding. The committee hav- 

 ing in charge the fifth annual dinner of 

 the society made its report. It was 

 generally agreed to hold the feast at 

 the Oyster Bay Inn, December 12, at 

 7:30 sharp. D. Beaton, James Duck- 

 ham and John Sorosick acted as judges 

 of the exhibits and awarded the soci- 

 ety's blue ribbon to Joseph Robinson, 

 for fifty violets. A. Andrews, Robert 

 Wright, George Hale, William Eecles 

 and John McCulloch were elected to 

 membership. Applications were re- 

 ceived from William Ford, Jr., and F. 

 F. Ayer. 



Several members addressed the so- 

 ciety on timely and instructive sub- 

 jects. Exhibits scheduled for the next 

 meeting are: Six poinsettias, twelve 

 eweet peas and twelve narcissi. The 

 steward sprung a surprise on the crowd 

 in the form of eats, drinks and smokes.

Terra Haute, Ind. — Living models 

 adorned with anklet bouquets and other 

 conceits in corsages and sprays — an 

 idea recently exploited by The Review 

 as material for publicity — were the 

 means by which the management of 

 the Rosery Flower Shop recently "put 

 over" a most successful fall opening. 

 Favors of roses and mums were pre- 

 sented to the callers, who formed a 

 throng during the morning and after- 

 noon. The affair was in the nature of 

 a mum show and a miniature Japanese 

 pagoda in ivory occupied the center 

 of the store. K. G. Drayton now is 

 manager of the store, having acquired 

 a half interest. E. Reiss, the president 

 of the new formation, calls attention to 

 two long write-ups of the fall opening 

 in the daily papers.

ALL questions of greenhouse water sup- 

 ply are solved with perfect satisfaction 

 to the florist when he installs a 



STANDARD 



PUMPING UNIT 



The problems have been worked out beforehand by 

 competent engmeers of long experience, and the machinery 

 is built to last. In the installation it pays best to 



BUY ONCE AND BUY RIGHT 



First cost is no greater, but satisfaction is un- 

 limited. Many greenhouse owners have writ- 

 ten us about this feature. Direct delivery from 

 the pumping unit saves the gardener's money. 



We will be pleased to tell you their experience 

 and send you a catalogue of engine and motor- 

 driven pumps and outfits. Write for it today.

 use double glass. The non-con-

Greenhouses 

 That Pay 



The constant success of Jacobs' 

 Greenhouses for a period of over 

 45 years has not been caused by 

 any trick of fortune. It should 

 be attributed to the efficiency of 

 our methods and our constant 

 endeavor to reach the point of 

 perfection. 



WE KNOW WHAT TO DO 

 AND WHAT NOT TO DO 



WHAT'S MORE-we can save 

 money for you.
