The Florists' Review

ness and will confine his work to grow- 

 ing plants. 



At the store of the Joy Floral Co. an 

 extra heavy cut of orchids was seen. 

 This firm had all it needed for the 

 Christmas trade and the later varieties 

 are breaking freely. We cannot forbear 

 mentioning again two seedling carna- 

 tions at this range that will be exhibited 

 at the shows this winter and probably 

 introduced to the public next year. Our 

 favorite is an entirely new departure in 

 carnations, a frilled and fringed flower 

 fully four inches in diameter. It seems 

 to be wonderfully free in blooming, the 

 stems are long and the color is a delicate 

 pink, shading to a deep shell-pink in the 

 heart. The other is of the ordinary 

 type, fully as large, and a pure rose- 

 pink. It has been planted in large 

 enough quantity to be tested beside the 

 older varieties and thus far it is easily 

 the best of its color. 



Louis Haury & Sons had a nice lot of 

 fancy ferns in their windows. Their 

 pot plants were fine this year. At their 

 greenhouses they had a good supply of 

 cut flowers. 



Geny Bros, did a heavy holiday busi- 

 ness. Their poinsettias were excep- 

 tionally good, while they had the best 

 specimens of solanum seen in this city. 

 They cut roses and carnations freely, 

 their growers having timed" the crops 

 just right. 



Mclntyre Bros, had a great display of 

 cyclamens and other plants, also good 

 sweet peas. 



Charles Trichler sold out his stock 

 early. As he does not do much retail 

 work, he has no downtown place. He 

 already is propagating for spring. He 

 has the best collection of ferns in the 

 south and is planning to specialize on 

 this item. F. B.

 County Horticultural Society was held 

 in Pembroke hall, Glen Cove, December

 was a large attendance, with President 

 Bobert Jones in the chair. The judges 

 appointed for the monthly exhibits 

 were Thomas Twigg, William Nor-

 awards were made: The president's 

 special^ for the best table decoration, 

 for assistant gardeners only, was won by 

 Henry Michaelson, assistant to George 

 Ferguson; second, by John Gailens, as- 

 sistant to William Churchill. Treasurer 

 Ernest J. Brown presented a creditable 

 annual report, showing the society had 

 passed a successful season, both in 

 point of membership and financially. S.

 election of officers, which resulted as 

 follows: President, Joseph Adler; vice- 

 president, Frank Watson; secretary,

There was a short discussion on 

 **How to Grow Amaryllis and When to 

 Best It." 



The secretary was directed to write 

 a letter of condolence to the family of 

 the late M. A. Hans, one of our mem- 

 bers who died recently. 



Save Coal on Greenhouse Boilers

 Air Tube Cleaner to clean your boiler tubes? It creates 

 its own air pressure with the use of low pressure steam. 



Specially Adapted for Greenhouse Boilers 



It cleans your boiler perfectly in four minutes, while running. 

 It does away with the hand method. It saves its cost before 

 the trial is ended. It can be returned, express collect, if yeu 

 do not find it to your interest to purchase the cleaner. It lasts 

 a lifetime. There are thousands in use. The price is $12.00.
