The Rorists' Review 



Septbubeb 15. 1921 



Montgomery's Priscilla 



That's the name of the new pink rose! The name will be Priscilla probably after the public has had it a while, 

 but we have had to add the prefix to cover the rules of nomenclature. 



In order to get someone who knows more about roses than we do to give an unbiased, honest opinion on the merits of 

 this rose, we have placed 12 plants of it with each of the following rose growers: 4

 the best named varieties were seen. 



Max the Florist exhibited a large 

 standing heart with base of red roses, 

 which was much admired. 



Table Decorations Attractive. 

 An elaborate set of dinner dishes with 

 silver and a pretty table center of roses 

 and small pink asters were shown by 

 the Dudley Given Co. These dishes were 

 changed three times during the week 

 and replaced by other sets of equally 

 beautiful ware. 



A unique table was shown by David 

 McGregor, Chamberlain and Grand ave- 

 nues. At the opening of the show a 

 handsome table center of Ophelia roses 

 and montbretia was seen. Four cor- 

 sages, showing different arrangements, 

 were exhibited. For the two middle 

 (lays of tlio week a beautiful bride's 

 l)(iu(|Uot of White Killarney roses, with 

 gypsophila and asparagus tied in the 

 siiower, attracted much attention and 

 favorable comment. Friday and Satur- 

 day a dinner table decoration was 

 •sliown. It was composed of a center- 

 ]iiece of Columbia roses and montbre- 

 tia. with eight miniature vases arranged 

 with maidenhair fern, Columbia roses 

 and miniature pink asters. I'eacock 

 blue silk was laid loosely between the 

 flowers. 



Arthur M. Newborn had a wonderful 

 showing of .strawflowers arranged in 

 many different ways. Gift baskets, cen- 

 terpieces, favors, corsages and funeral 

 work was shown. The color combina- 

 tion was exquisite. Many different 

 grasses, berries and cones and burrs w(>re 

 seen here, all in the same varied line 

 of color effects. 



Alberts the Florist decorated liis 

 table with a good assortment of ferns, 

 window boxes filled with primulas aiid 

 ferns, large and small baskets of flowers 

 and some excellent bouquets of jiiiik ami 

 wliite lilies. In the center of his exliibit 

 was a large cibotiuni fern, through 

 which many yards of yellow chiffon 

 were strung. 



Two tables were occupied by F. Schle- 

 gel's Sons, one of which was for named 

 varieties of gladioli. The collection was
