The Florists' Review 



Febbuabt 2. 1922 



posL'd of Ward rosus, violets, gardenias 

 and valley. Some splendid snapdragons 

 were arranged in baskets in the fore- 

 ground and sprays of Acacia pubescens 

 gave a colorful touch. 



Most timely was the display of J. Al- 

 bert Brodrib, who showed the public 

 wliat would be available in the way of 

 valentine remembrances. On a large 

 red heart at the back were two fine 

 corsages. Red heart bpxes, gold arrows 

 and valentine dolls were shown in pro- 

 fusion, amid bas'kets of roses, carn.i- 

 tions, valley, violets, freesias, sweet 

 peas and daffodils. 



Against a background of palms and 

 ferns, George G. McClunie showed some 

 splendid basket and box arrangements 

 of various flowers, among them roses, 

 freesias and daffodils, and some taste- 

 ful corsages of violets. 



The exhibit of Kenneth Mackay em- 

 l)hasized basket arrangements, which 

 are a specialty of his. A particularly 

 fine basket of roses was exhibited in a 

 frame at the back of the booth, and 

 other baskets, chiefly carnations .Tnd 

 roses, composed the rest of the display. 



ROSE GROWERS' LUNCHEON. 



Discuss Cleveland Exhibits. 



Upon arrival at Hartford last week, 

 rose growers received notice of a lunch- 

 eon at the Greater Bond hotel, Thursday 

 noon, January 26, called by Wallace K. 

 Pierson, chairman of the commercial 

 rose growers' committee of the Amer- 

 ican Rose Society. The purpose of the 

 meeting was to discuss the rose society's 

 part in the national flower show at 

 Cleveland. 



As judges in the rose classes at the 

 Cleveland show, the following had been 

 asked to serve: N. J. Wietor, Chicago; 

 Emil Buettner, Park Eidge, 111.; Patrick 

 Welch, Boston; Frank H. Traendly, New 

 York; A. B. Cartledge, Philadelphia; S. 

 A. Anderson, Buffalo; J. F. Ammann, 

 Edwardsville, 111.; George Asmus, Chi- 

 cago; John Burton, Philadelphia; W. F. 

 Gudc, Washington. D. C; S. S. Pennock, 

 Philadelphia; Philip Breitmeyer, De- 

 troit; A. L. Miller, Jamaica, New York; 

 W. J. Palmer, Buff"alo; Alex. Montgom- 

 ery, Jr., Hadley, Mass. 



Some discussion ensued as to the i)os- 

 sibility of action being taken by the 

 American Carnation Society in regard to 

 holding an independent exhibition. It 

 was the opinion of a number present that 

 a combined exhibition was of greater 

 value to the trade at large and more con- 

 venient for members of the Carnation 

 Society and of the Rose Society, and a 

 resolution proposed by Chiules IT. 

 Totty, asking that action toward an in- 

 dependent exhibition be not taken, was 

 unanimously approved. 



George Asmus explained, as far as was 

 possible at that date, the difQculties 

 which had arisen in Cleveland between 

 the city officials and the florists in re- 

 gard to holding the national flower show, 

 and read a telegram asking if a post- 

 ponement of four days would bring the 

 show too close to Easter for success. 

 After considerable discussion, it was de- 

 cided, if the auditorium could bo secured 

 for a period to close not later than four 

 days after the date originally set, that 

 those present would make their exhibits 

 as planned and lend their support to the 

 success of the exhibition. A resolution 

 of confidence was voted in the national 

 flower show committee. 



Fred L. Atkins, vice-president of the 



American Rose Society, who had opened 

 the meeting before turning it over to 

 W. R. Pierson, as cliairinan of the com- 

 mercial growers' committee, earnestly 

 pleaded for more members for the or- 

 ganization. 



• The American Rose Society is today a 

 body of approximately 2,500, most of 

 whom are amateurs. About 300 are com- 

 mercial growers of roses. Since the 

 amateurs' votes are. able to control the 

 organization, the by-laws have been 

 amended to permit the commercial in- 

 terests to be represented by a com- 

 mittee, self -governed and self -perpetuat- 

 ing, which is now composed of Charles 



H. Totty, F. H. Traendly, Thomas Ro- 

 land, Joseph H. Hill, E. J. Fancourt, 

 members for three years; Harry O. May, 

 Alex. Montgomery, Jr., James W. Hea- 

 cock, William Duckham, Wallace R. 

 Pierson, members for two years, and F. 

 R. Pierson, W. J. Keimel, F. L. Atkins, 

 Robert Simpson and Frank X. Stuppy, 

 members for one year. 



Edgewood, R. I. — James E. Burke is 

 at present having two greenhouses con- 

 structed for commercial purposes. These 

 greenhouses will be ready about March 

 1. Mr. Burke was the manager of the 

 Warwick Greenhouses for twenty years. 



THOSE PRESENT. 



The attendance at the Hartford con- 

 vention was larger than at any mid- 

 winter gathering of florists in recent 

 years. The register kept in the exhibi- 

 tion hall did not include nearly all pres- 

 ent. Many came from neighboring lo- 

 calities for short visits of inspection and 

 perhaps missed notice. The following is 

 as nearly as possible a complete list of
