The Florists' Review 



Januaky is, 1917. 



DAVENPORT, R. ISLAND, MOLINE. 



The Markets. 



Trade last week was quiet. Killaruey 

 roses, both pink and white, are plentiful; 

 all other roses are in short supply. Car- 

 nations are abundant and cheap. Paper 

 Whites and Romans are more conspicu- 

 ous. Lilies, sweet peas, violets, etc., are 

 plentiful enougli to meet the demands. 

 A few tulips are seen, but they have 

 short stems as yet. 



Club Meeting. 



The regular meeting of the Tri-City 

 Florists' Club was held at the residence 

 of Ludwig Stapp. The attendance was 

 good. 



The flower show committee reported 

 the Masonic hall at Rock Island had been 

 rented for November 2 to 4. The mem- 

 bers subscribed to a guarantee fund to 

 be placed in the hands of the treasurer 

 by June 1, to meet the necessary ex- 

 penses. It was decided to have competi- 

 tive exhibits and an admission fee of 25 

 cents was decided on. A committee com- 

 posed of C. O. E. Boehm, C. J. Reardon 

 and A. Anderson was appointed to draft 

 rules by which exhibitors will be gov- 

 erned, the committee to report at or be- 

 fore the regular meeting in March. 



H. G. Pauli invited the club to hold its 

 February meeting at his residence, when 

 the nomination of officers for the ensu- 

 ing year takes place. W. G. 



AMHERST, MASS. 



The enrollment of students of floricul- 

 ture in the winter short course of the 

 Massachusetts Agricultural College ia 

 twenty-one. Many of these men come 

 to the college from practical werk and 

 commercial establishments. The short 

 course is divided into two sections. 

 Prof. A. H. Nehrling is giving the work 

 in commercial floriculture, while C. E. 

 Wildon is handling the work in garden 

 flowers. 



A total of twenty students are en- 

 rolled in the regular major courses in 

 floriculture. Three courses are to be 

 given this term. Course 51 treats of 

 greenhouse management; Course 77 of 

 decorative plants and conservatory 

 work; Course 80 is a continuation of 

 the work in commercial floriculture. 



The publication of the annual, which 

 the M. A. C. Florists' and Gardeners' 

 Club has determined to get out, is be- 

 ing pushed energetically. Already over 

 forty per cent of the advertising space 

 has been subscribed to and the remain- 

 der is rapidly being filled out. Over 

 1,000 copies of the annual are to be 

 distributed free to persons in the horti- 

 cultural trades. 



NEWPORT, R. I. 



John T. Allan has been appointed 

 license commissioner for three years. 



J. C. Haas had the decorations for the 

 Johnson-Hamilton wedding last week. 



Carl Jurgens has been harvesting 10- 

 inch ice at Greene End pond for his 

 summer supply. W. H. M. 



Lynchburg, Va.— Miss Annie McCar- 

 ron, whom the papers call "Lynchburg's 

 pioneer florist," now is comfortably set- 

 tled in her new "Home of Flowers," on 

 Main street. The new stand certainly 

 is a smart one; the architects let loose 

 some original ideas in designing the in- 

 terior of Miss McCarron's domain.
