The Florists^ Review 



FUBBUABT 27, 1019. 



was issued. On one page appear the 

 names of forty-three club members who 

 have served or are still serving in some 

 branch of .the army or navy. 



H. A. Sim, son of William Sim, now 

 with the American army in France, has 

 just recovered from an attack of pneu- 

 monia. Mr. Sim has seen considerable 

 active service, has been wounded and 

 has also received the French Croix de 

 Guerre for bravery in action. 



Fred Palmer, of Brookline, Virith his 

 daughter, Miss Ella Palmer, has been 

 enjoying ten days' snowshoeing and 

 other mountain sports with the Appa- 

 lachian Mountain Club, at Jackson, 

 N. H. 



Thomas Pegler spent a couple of days 

 in town last week with Ernest Saunders, 

 of Lewiston, Me., and enjoyed the club 

 flower show and meeting. Many other 

 out-of-town visitors were also noted. 



A meeting of persons interested in 

 the proposed quarantine of the states 

 of Massachusetts and New York against 

 the corn root borer was held at the 

 State House, Boston, February 24. A 

 further hearing is scheduled for Febru- 

 ary 26 at Washington, before the Fed- 

 eral Horticultural Board. Not only 

 corn in all forms will be quarantined, 

 but it is proposed to prevent shipments 

 of dahlias, gladioli, all herbaceous per- 

 ennials, chrysanthemums, etc., which 

 will seriously . affect many of our grow- 

 ers. If quarantines of individual states 

 continue, business will soon be par- 

 alyzed. The corn borer, moreover, did 

 not come in on nursery stock, but in- 

 spectors think it probably was brought 

 in on hemp straw. There has been no 

 mention as yet of preventing importa- 

 tions of hemp straw, jute rope and other 

 possible carriers of this pest. 



Arnold Janiten, formerly of the firm 

 of Janiten & Woolrath Co., has leased 

 the Rawson greenhouses, in Arlington, 

 and is busy stocking them. High-grade 

 pot plants for the Boston and other mar- 

 kets will be his specialty. 



Owing to all the halls of the Massa- 

 chusetts Horticultural Society being 

 rented for the week of the regular 

 March meeting of the Gardeners' and 

 Florists' Club, the next meeting will 

 not be held until March 25. 



The pansies coming in from C. T. 

 Beasley & Co., of East Milton, are of 

 grand quality. Mr. Beasley had 74,000 

 flowers in January and will beat that 

 record in February. He is also cutting 

 some nice ranunculi. 



As the real facts of Quarantine 37 

 become more widely known, opposition 

 to it becomes more intense locally and 

 numerous protests are being sent to 

 Washington. Congressman M. L. Davey, 

 of the Davey Tree Expert Co., Kent, O., 

 is a determined opponent of the quar- 

 antine. Congressman G. H. Tinkham, 

 of Massachusetts, is also an active op- 

 ponent. He writes that he has received 

 numerous letters of protest in regard 

 to it. W. N. C. 



LANCASTER, PA. 



A Visit to the Ranges. 



Fifteen members of the Lancaster 

 County Florists' Club journeyed to 

 Strasburg February 20 to visit the flo- 

 rists there, calling first on Amos Rohrer, 

 whose range was found in excellent or- 

 der. Heavy cuts of carnations have 

 been taken since October. White Won- 

 der is the only white grown and is as 

 fine as when first, introduced. Belle
