The Florists^ Review 



November 13, 1019. 



grower of Belfast, Ireland, has several 

 new roses of great merit and others will 

 soon be brought out. This firm won 

 premier position for its collection of pot 

 roses thirty-six feet in circumference. 

 Dickson's nurseries at Chester, Eng- 

 land, were also visited. Everything 

 there shows the effect of suffering for 

 lack of help. The work is now being 

 done by women and inexperienced help. 

 There is a large amount of glass and 

 prior to the war this was one of the 

 best kept places in Great Britain. This 

 firm has a wonderful collection of dah- 

 lias. 



Mr. McManmon visited the Kew gar« 

 dens and states that there they have 

 the largest and finest house devoted to 

 palms that he ever saw, also a mag- 

 nificent collection of tropical plants of 

 every description. 



Food is exceedingly scarce and high 

 in price. Apples are selling as high as 

 sixpence (12 cents) each and green- 

 house-grown tomatoes are one shilling 

 (24 cents) at wholesale and find a 



ready sale. Mr. McManmon says that 

 the Irish disturbances as reported in 

 America are much magnified. There is 

 plenty of food in Ireland and that coun- 

 try is prosperous. 



Mr. McManmon is glad to be home 

 again and expresses Ids gratification at 

 finding everything connected with his 

 business here in satisfactory condition. 



Various Notes. 



William J. Collins, of Gorham street, 

 had a fine lot of single and pompon 

 mums, also greenhouse-grown cosmos in 

 pink and white. He has had several 

 funeral orders. 



At the opening November 1 of the 

 large and finely equipped Saunders Mar- 

 ket, an orchestra of six pieces played 

 amid a bower of palms and ferns sup- 

 plied by Morse & Beals. About thirty 

 baskets and bouquets were presented by 

 prominent tradesmen. Small mums and 

 carnations predominated. 



Morse & Beals had a fine lot of 

 Boiiiiaffon chrysanthemums last week. 



which sold quickly. This firm is hav- 

 ing considerable funeral work. 



There was an old-time "huskin' bee" 

 November 6 in the barn on the seed 

 farm of J. J. McManmon. The barn 

 and four of his conveyances had been 

 kindly lent for the occasion. There 

 were over 200 guests searching for red 

 ears. The affair was engineered by 

 M. Pilotte, of J. J. McManmon 's store, 

 and J. Melonson, one of the teamsters 

 at the farm. E. E. R. 



Bellefontaine, 0. — In the Daily Exam- 

 iner for November 1 Selzig's Floral 

 Store carried a full-page advertisem ;nt, 

 the only one of such size in the paper. 

 In it all the facilities for serving the 

 public were brought to readers' atten- 

 tion. On another page were printed in 

 display the verses beginning "Say it 

 with flowers, just a trim little spray," 

 which appeared in The Review for Oc- 

 tober 30.
