The Florists'^ Review 



Junk 1. 1922 



While it is generally stated that 

 Memorial day broke all previous records, 

 it is not easy to compare this year with 

 previous years. There was undoubtedly 

 more artificial material sold than ever, 

 and probably as many fresh flowers, but 

 I have seen more animation and snap 

 to some i)reviou8 years' business. How- 

 ever, about everyone seems satisfied. 



Flower Show at Chestnut Hill. 



The flower show staged by the Chest- 

 nut Hill Garden Society and effectively 

 arranged in two large tents on the 

 beautiful grounds of E. B. Dane, May 

 24 to May 26, was the most charming 

 flower show of its kind ever held here 

 in May. Groups of flowering plants, 

 covering 400 square feet each, were a 

 feature in one tent. First prize and a 

 gold medal were awarded to Peter Ar- 

 nott, gardener for Mrs. E. S. Webster, 

 with an artistically arranged group 

 which included many beautiful godetias, 

 clarkias, pelargoniums, campanulas, 

 pimeleas, hydrangeas and calceolarias. 

 An excellent second was William C. 

 Eust, gardener for Mrs. C. G. Weld. 

 Splendid gladioli, godetias, calceolarias, 

 lilies and other plants were in this 

 group, as also in the third prize group 

 from L. C. Seagrove, gardener to Mrs. 

 R. M. Saltonstall, and Donald McKenzie, 

 gardener for Mrs. E. B. Dane. 



For the best group of orchids Donald 

 McKenzie won with a superb lot of 

 odontoglossums, odontiodas, cattleyas, 

 renantheras, masdevallias, oncidiums, 

 brassocattleyas and other varieties. 

 Peter Arnott, who was second, showed 

 some choice varieties. Splendid stand- 

 ard fuchsias and calceolarias were 

 shown by J. Clancy, gardener for Mrs. 

 Andrew Adie, while Arthur T. Bradlee 

 had an excellent group of flowering 

 plants. L. C. Seagrove had a splendid 

 lot of Marshall strawberries loaded with 

 luscious-looking berries. There was a 

 keen contest for table centerpieces from 

 ladies, and fine displays of native plants 

 and vegetables. Thomas Roland judged 

 the groups of plants. The attendance 

 was large on all three days, the tents 

 being crowded most of the time. 



Various Notes. 



An excellent half-page illustrated 

 Memorial day advertisement appeared 

 in the rotogravure section of the Boston 

 Herald May 28. Participating firms 

 were the Fottler, Fiske, Rawson Co., S. J. 

 Goddard, Houghton-Gorney Co., Zinn 

 the Florist, Beacon Florist, Belmont 

 Flower Shop, H. M. Robinson & Co., 

 Janiten & Kunan, Anderson Conservato- 

 ries, Axel Magnuson, Galgay the Florist, 

 W. C. Bowditch, J. K. Alexander, S. 

 Irving Moody, William Sim, Littlefield 

 & Wyman and H. R. Comley. An illus- 

 tration showed the work of each adver- 

 tiser. A fine, readable story appeared 

 in the news section of the same paper, 

 giving Boston's history and position as 

 a floral and horticultural center. 



The executive committee of the Gar- 

 deners' and Florists' Club met May 26 

 and completed arrangements for the 

 ladies' night at Horticultural hall, June 

 20. The finest entertainment in the 

 club's history will be given on this occa- 

 sion. July 20 has been selected as the 

 diate for the annual picnic at Cunning- 

 ham park, East Milton. 



Andrew Christensen, at Stoneham, has 

 sold Tiis greenhouse establishment, 

 dwelling house, etc., to Joel Whittemore,
