The Florists' Review 



Masch 18, 1920 



NEWPORT, E. I. 



Horticultural Society. 



The meeting of the Newport Horti- 

 cultural Society Tuesday evening, 

 March 9, was replete with interesting 

 features which well repaid the unusu- 

 ally large number in attendance. An 

 animated discussion resulted from the 

 statement that an attempt had been re- 

 ported to have the Rhode Island Gen- 

 eral Assembly withhold its annual finan- 

 cial assistance to the various horticul- 

 tural and agricultural societies of the 

 state. It was voted that the secretary 

 of the society be instructed to com- 

 municate with the members of the gen- 

 eral assembly from Newport county 

 voicing the protest of the society 

 against any restricting of such appro- 

 priations. 



It was announced that the premium 

 list for the summer show was about 

 completed and would be sent out in a 

 few days. An interesting address was 

 made by John Hay, of Philadelphia, 

 formerly of this city, which was well 

 received. 



The gardeners present were much in- 

 terested in the exhibition of an Amor- 

 phophallus Rivieri, a central Asia plant 

 which had been grown by Samuel 

 Speers, gardener for "William Brenton 

 Greene. The plant, which is 5 years 

 old, is blooming for the first time and 

 many of those present had never before 

 seen one of these curiosity plants in 

 bloom. 



Various Notes. 



Thomas B. Galvin has transferred a 

 lot of land with improvements at the 

 corner of Walcott and Bateman avenues 

 to Henry Cremin. 



Because of the blizzard and gale Mon- 

 day, March 8, it was impossible to 

 travel the length of Bellevue avenue 

 and several of the gardeners at the 

 summer estates telephoned that they 

 were snowbound. W. H. M.

HAMBURG LATE PINK CHRYSANTHEMUM 



is an improved late pink Maud Dean, having more petals and, if grown for 

 late, will hardly ever show an open center. 



The average grower of Cbrysanthemunia mast have varieties which are easy to handle and 

 from which he can cut as near 100% of perfect blooms as possible. UambarK Late Pink has 

 been grown for the last four years, and produces a very hiRrh proportion of Kood flowers. It U 

 not ao exhibition variety, but for late pluk is one of the best for commercial purposes. It can 

 be had in bloom the latter part of November by taklnsr an early bud, but some of the flowers 

 'Will sliow open ceoters. By selectingr late buds, after October 1, most of the flowers are cut 

 during December, and would advise to select late buds, as the later buds will hardly ever show 

 an open center, and some flowers can be had even In January. 



Keeping qualities are excellent and where a graceful pink flower Is wanted, Hambarc 

 LiBte Pink cannot be surpassed.
