Flowers and Giving 



"Consider the lilies of 

 the field." How bounti- 

 fully they bloom, how 

 freely and fully they give 

 of their loveliness and 

 sweetness. 



Brother Florists, we 

 give to you our kindly 

 thoughts and best wishes. 

 Let us make this Spring- 

 time very beautiful. "He 

 that soweth bountifully, 

 shall reap also bounti- 

 fully."

"Being taken somewhat severely to 

 task when I made the .issertion at a 

 meeting of the Florists' Club that 

 though our city is famous as a flower 

 center it is less favored than many for 

 the blooming of roses under glass," ob- 

 served Colin Ogston, of the Kimball 

 Conservatories, Kochester, N. Y., "I 

 proved the correctness of the statement 

 by obtaining and comparing reports 

 from every chief point in America, as- 

 sisted by the chart published in The 

 Review." It was noted that almost 

 every new variety of rose, carnation 

 and chrysanthemum is grown here, 

 though on a limited scale. It is inter- 

 esting to test the merits and make com- 

 parisons, which the grower for profit 

 cannot afford to do. A record is care- 

 fully kept and makes valuable read- 

 ing. The originally large collection of 

 orchids has simmered down to cattleyas, 

 cypripediums and vandas, of which 

 there are choice varieties and specimens. 

 Hybridizing and propagating are slow 

 work and will remain in the hands of 

 the few enthusiasts who are willing 

 and able to care for these aristocrats of 

 the floral world.

F. G. Lewis, Lockport, N. Y., com- 

 menting upon the lateness of the season 

 and the unavoidable crowding of stock, 

 feels that once the weather becomes 

 settled there will be a big upset among 

 the gardeners in the haste to catch up.

At a meeting of the Rochester Rose 

 Society, of Rochester, N. Y., held the 

 evening of April 27, President John 

 Dunbar announced the pcrionnel of the 

 committee to take charge of the rose 

 show to be held sometime in June, de- 

 pending on weather conditions. R. J. 

 Dukelow, foreman of the park depart- 

 ment greenhouses, a constant reader of 

 The Review, entertained with a talk 

 upon experiments made under glass dur- 

 ing the winter as applied to roses. 

 Among the list of contributors of prizes 

 appears the name of Ilart & Vick, the 

 seedsmen, who will donate a silver vase 

 for the most artistically arranged bowl 



of roses.

 from Sunburst, possessed its one weak- 

 ness in coming in during January with 

 a crooked neck. Butterfly, growing 

 with Medina, enjoys the same treat-

 every day in the year. None is cut 

 back closely at any period. The favor-
