The Florists^ Review 



AfBiL 13. 1922 



to the New England Publishing Co., for 

 the exclusive use of a Boston news- 

 paper. The Boston Flower Exchange, 

 R. M. Robinson & Co. and Dolansky & 

 McDonald are among those now doing 

 business in this block. Present leases 

 expire in January, 1923. This will pre- 

 vent any renewal of leases for whole- 

 sale flower selling, although a removal 

 from this section had practically been 

 discounted. The exact location of the 

 new wholesale flower markets has not 

 yet been decided upon. 



The American Orchid Society will 

 hold its annual meeting at Horticultural 

 hall, Boston, Saturday, May 6, at 3 

 p. m., by daylight-saving time, for the 

 election of officers for 1922 and the 

 transaction of other business. The fol- 

 lowing names have been submitted by 

 the nominating committee, to be bal- 

 loted on at this meeting: President, 

 A. C. Burrage, Boston; vice-presidents, 

 Theodore H, Wickwire, Buffalo, N, Y.; 

 Oakes Ames, North Easton, Mass., and 

 W. A. Manda, South Orange, N. J.; 

 treasurer, TJouis Burk, Philadelphia; 

 secretary, Alfred J. Loveless, Lenox, 

 Mass.; trustees for three years, Thomas 

 Roland, Nahant, Mass.; Oliver Lines, 

 Pittsfield, Mass., and E. B. Dane, Chest- 

 nut Hill, Mass. The great show of ferns 

 and wild flowers will be in progress at 

 the time of this meeting and promises 

 to eclipse in popular interest even the 

 native orchid show held in May, 1921. 



Paul Tatka, aged 46, a market gar- 

 dener of Danvers, Mass., succumbed to 

 coal gas fumes early in the morning of 

 April 7, while trying to reach the door 

 of the boiler room of his greenhouses. 

 He had slept at the greenhouses, in or- 

 der to keep close watch of the tempera- 

 ture of his vegetable houses during the 

 recent cold spell. The deceased left a 

 widow and four children. 



The Easter lily situation this year is 

 a curiouaV ^ne. Some time ago it was 

 believed thaT^ailable plants would be 

 in excess of the demand, but there has 

 been more disease than usual among 

 giganteums, and plants were never so 

 dwarf and have in the main flowered 

 unsatisfactorily. Many plants are not 

 over six to eight inches high, with buds 

 hanging over the pots, and growers with 

 plants as much as fifteen inches high 

 are being envied. The demand is 

 strong, and practically all available 

 plants have been sold a considerable 

 time ahc.Td; in fact, some growers over- 

 sold, hoping to be able to buy sufficient 

 elsewhere to fill orders, which they are 

 now unable to do. There are some nice, 

 healthy batches, but far more which are 

 unsatisfactory. Any who grew formo- 

 sums have found them clean and florif- 

 erous. 



At the regular meeting of the North 

 Shore Horticultural Society, April 5, at 

 Manchester, Mass., Robert Cameron, 

 W. N. Craig and George F. Stewart 

 spoke on the aims and purposes, of the 

 National Association of Gardeners. The 

 Boston convention, September 12 to 15, 

 was referred to, and prominent north 

 shore growers pledged their hearty sup- 

 port and will assist in entertaining the 

 large delegation which will visit lead- 

 ing north shore estates September 14. 

 Alfred E. Parsons showed a magnificent 

 group of nemesias in 6-inch pots from 

 seed sown August 10, 1921. These se- 

 cured the society's silver medal. There 

 were fifty plants in the collection, all 

 superbly flowered. Over 100 members 

 attended the meeting.
