The Florists^ Review 



Jandaet 9, 1919. 



February 1 — "Gardening After the War," by 

 Leonard Barron, Garden City, N. Y. 



February 8 — "Land Drainage, Its History, 

 Problems and PossiblUtleB," by Arthur B. Hor- 

 ton, Lexington, Mass. 



February 15 — "Protecting American Crop Plants 

 Against Allen Enemies," by Dr. B. T. Galloway, 

 Washington, D. C. 



William H. Elliott, of Brighton, has 

 been selected as the lecturer on floricul- 

 ture to represent the Gardeners' and 

 Florists' Club and allied interests which 

 are cooperating with a number of other 

 bodies for a week of lectures and discus- 

 sions in Horticultural hall during the 

 week commencing February 9. Mr. 

 Elliott's subject will prove of great in- 

 terest to both agriculturists and horti- 

 culturists. 



There will be no spring exhibition 

 held in Boston the coming season. Lack 

 of finances is given as the reason for not 

 holding one, but whatever the reason, 

 its omission is greatly to be regretted. 



Various Notes. 



December, 1918, proved a remarkable 

 contrast to the same month a year 

 earlier. In 1917 the maximum tempera- 

 ture of the month was 43 degrees, the 

 minimum 16 degn^ees below zero and 

 the mean for the month 20% degrees. 

 Last month the maximum was 61 de- 

 grees, the minimum 6 degrees and the 

 mean 31 1^, showing the average daily 

 temperature to have been no less than 

 11 degrees higher than in 1917. Bain- 

 fall was light and sunless days were 

 numerous. 



Fred J. Elder, until recently Boston 

 manager for Lord & Bnrnham Co., now 

 located at Cleveland, O., has been look- 

 ing up old friends and customers the 

 last few days. Mr. Elder states that a 

 good many inquiries are coming in from 

 prospective builders. His many friends 

 here hope he may soon locate in Boston 

 again. 



Penn had the decorations for the gov- 

 ernor's inaugural in Boston January 2 

 and made a state seal five feet high and 

 other elaborate pieces, the former the 

 gift of the adjutant general and staff. 

 The large quantities of flowers were de- 

 livered later to mothers who had lost 

 sons in the service. 



Only necessary business will be trans- 

 acted at the meeting of the Gardeners' 

 and Florists' Club January 21. It will 

 be installation night and ladies' night 

 and a pleasing entertainment, with a 

 collation and dancing, will follow the 

 regular meeting. Tickets will be on 

 sale for the Victory banquet to be held 

 February 26. 



Alfred B. Hutson, head salesman for 

 W. H. Elliott, has been sick with the 

 influenza, but is much improved. 



The Waban Eose Conservatories, 

 Natick, Mass., are operating sixty-five 

 per cent of their glass area this season. 

 Except for two divisions of Killarney 

 Brilliant, the only varieties grown are 

 Bussell and Hadley. 



While the wholesale markets are bare 

 of flowers, it is a revelation to look 

 < ver the roomy ice chests of H. M. Eob- 

 inson & Co., which are filled to reple- 

 tion with the finest roses, carnations 

 and other flowers to be had in New 

 England. Much of their stock comes 

 from their buyers in New York and 

 Philadelphia. A big business is being 

 done in artificial wreaths and loose 

 flowers at present and the force em- 

 ployed in the wire frame department is 

 rushed to keep up with the demand. 



Mark Aitken, of Springfield, Mass., 

 with Eber Holmes, his greenhouse man- 

 ager, made a tour of growers, both pri-
