The Florists Rcviev/

lycastes, dendrobes and zygopetalums 

 never looked better. 



It is a real delight to visit a com- 

 mercial establishment where attractive 

 flower borders, well kept, flank the ap- 

 proach. Here, thanks to thij landscape 

 abilities of Mrs. George W. Butterworth 

 and Miss Rachel Butterworth, a charm- 

 ing and tastefully planted formal gar- 

 den greets the customers, a garden in 

 which verbenas, petunias, browallias, 

 nicotianas and other annuals hobnob 

 with perennials like Anemone japonica, 

 Artemisia lactiflora, blue salvias, Mich- 

 aelmas daisies and larkspurs. The 

 absence of red flowers, notably scarlet 

 salvia, was a welcome relief. Too bad 

 that more florists cannot plant such a 

 garden as this, restful, satisfying and 

 charming in its simplicity. _ 



Miss Butterworth is now visiting 

 Philadelphia and Long Island, probably 

 with the idea of getting new garden 

 ideas for Framingham. In the former 

 city, gardens seem to have a special 

 attraction for her. 



Various Notes. 



F. E. Palmer has a grand lot of cycla- 

 mens this season at his Newton street 

 greenhouses. There are 2,500 of them. 

 Some are in 10-inch half pots, others 

 mostly in 5-inch and 6-inch, with tough, 

 leathery foliage and bristling with 

 flower spikes. Begonias, hydrangeas, 

 solanums, chysanthemums and other 

 stock are coming along in fine shape for 

 the coming season. 



At the dahlia show in Horticultural 

 hall, September 10 and 11, the Dahlia 

 Society of New England provides 

 seventy-two additional classes, all for 

 the dahlias, with liberal cash premiums, 

 in addition to the classes provided by 

 the Massachusetts Horticultural So- 

 ciety, and a big exhibition is assured- 



Miss A. E. Irby and Miss Kate 

 Harris, of the Flower Shop, Memphis, 

 Tenn., were visitors here last week, at- 

 . tending the wedding of a friend in 

 Braintree. They visited the flower 

 markets, commission dealers and lead- 

 ing retailers and were entertained with 

 a dinner at the Copley Plaza hotel, and 

 in spite of unseasonable heat, enjoyed 

 their visit to the Hub. 



August gave us but one temperature 

 over 90 degrees, this coming at its close, 

 when the temperature reached 92 de- 

 grees. While it seemed to be an un- 

 usually cold month, the weather bureau 

 states' that there was 23 degrees excess 

 temperature over normal. This makes 

 the fourteenth consecutive month we 

 have had warmer weather than normal, 

 with a total excess temperature amount- 

 ing to 1,601 degrees. It was much drier 

 than usual, no rain falling in the last 

 half of the month at all. 



Henry Penn, Elijah S. Gorney, Henry 

 M. Robinson and nearly all retailers 

 and wholesalers who have been away 

 on vacations are now back at their 

 posts, ready for the fall campaign. 



Joseph Fuller, of Leominster, and his 

 grower, W. Hollingsworth, were among 

 those at the Framingham field day. Mr. 

 Fuller says he has a splendid lot ot 

 cyclamens, begonias, ferns, Golden 

 Glow and other mums, poinsettias, etc., 

 for the coming season. 



Duncan Finlayson, with his wife and 

 family, is enjoying a vacation at Bar 

 Harbor, Me. Peter M. Miller, of the 

 T. J. Grey Co., is visiting the same pic- 

 turesque Maine resort. 



George E. Baldwin, Mamaroneek. ^. 

 Y., was a visitor last week. He made "
