what the eroii is Koii'K to be; thero arcs 

 so many storios of failure at hand. 

 Gladioli are also appearing, mainly from 

 southern points, but the market is ex- 

 pecting the usual avalanche in a week 

 or two. Arrivals include a quantity of 

 Delphinium Belladonna, which moves at 

 50 cents to $1 per bunch; a few sweet 

 ])eas, which move at figures hardly quot- 

 able, and much other outside stock, the 

 demand for which is spasmodic, and 

 prices are hard to quote. Availabilities 

 are candytuft, pansies, delphiniums, 

 sweet peas, calendulas, stocks, rubrum 

 lilies, marigolds, coreopsis, pyrethrums, 

 Jjilium regale, daisies and alyssum. 

 Various Notes. 



The dates for the next spring tiower 

 show have been set for March 12 to 17. 

 There will be no Sunday opening for the 

 jiext show. The joint flower show com- 

 mittee at its meeting last week elected 

 an executive committee to take care of 

 details, and to relieve the general com- 

 mittee from meeting monthly; this com- 

 mittee is composed of T. A. Havenieyer, 

 Frederick R. Newbold, John Young, V. 

 W. Payne, Arthur Herrington and V. H. 

 Totty. Tlie schedule committee has al- 

 ready been in session, and the prelim- 

 inary schedule has been prepared . for 

 the press. There are few changes from 

 j)revious schedules to be reported, ex- 

 cept, perhaps in the class for the 

 large groups, for which $7,500 has been 

 reserved. The committee is congratu- 

 lating itself upon the fact that five 

 group exhibits have already been as- 

 sured. Some change has also been made 

 in the class covering 500-foot groups, 

 so as to make it more open.

 his family, sailed for Europe on the

 same day on the Arbita, also for Eurojie.

As noted in The Review of June 22, 

 the Texas State Florists' Association is 

 j)re])aring for a gathering at Dallas, 

 .hily 5 to 7, even larger tluin its former 

 conventions. Members of the trade 

 throughout the entire state of Texas 

 and other southern states are ex])ecting 

 to attend the convention. A most inter- 

 esting program for the l-i-day session 

 has i)('('n ]irepared and speakers from 

 Illinois, Kansas City. Oklahoma and 

 ("aliffiriiia, as well as many from the 

 Lone Star state, have been secured, and

FLORIDA CLUB COUNTS. 



While the Florida State Florists ' As- 

 sociation is still young in years and 

 will not celebrate its first birthday till 

 next November, at least one important 

 l)enefit has already been realized from 

 the organization, and one which will 

 save the growers of cut asparagus 

 sprays for florists' use many thousand 

 dollars each year. 



In a recent communication from N. A. 

 Reasoner, Oneco, Fla., the secretary- 

 treasurer of the association, he states 

 that pursuant to the instructions given 

 him at the Lakeland convention he has 



taken up the matter of the express rate 

 on asparagus shipments with the ex- 

 press officials and with the state rail- 

 road commission and, while he has not 

 yet succeeded in obtaining a reclassifi- 

 cation of this subject in the second- 

 class rating, as he hopes to be able to 

 do, he has at least succeeded in obtain- 

 ing a concession from the express com- 

 pany with regard to a proper allowance 

 when ice is used for refrigeration. The 

 following letter from the traflSc manager 

 of the American Railway Express Co. 

 will be of interest: -^ 



We have given this phase of the matter 

 further consideration, and while we cannot see 

 our way <-lear at this time to restore the second- 

 class rating, we are arranging in our new 

 i-lassiflcation, wliicli will he effective July 1.5. 

 to make an aUowanoe of twenty-flve per cent 

 from gross weight on these shipments where ice 

 is necessarily used for preservation. The weight 

 charged for under this rule must not, of course, 

 be less than the weight of the shipment without 

 ice. 



Too much credit can not be given 

 to S. S. Pennock, president of the S. A. 

 F., and W. H. Sehulz, Jr., second vice- 

 president, representing the asparagus 

 growers in the Florida association, for 

 their valiant assistance in furnishing 

 information and cooperation in corre- 

 spondence with the express officials. 



While this allowance will be a great 

 boon to the industry, it is felt by all 

 the growers that the old second-class 

 rating should be restored as it was for- 

 merly, and there seem to V)e many rea- 

 sons to su])])ort their cl.-iim. 



Savanna, 111. — ^C. T. Kilmers has 

 taken over the Savanna Greenhouses, 

 formerly managed by Dunn Bros. 



THESE GROWERS ARE BUILDING. 



.Vs an indication of the present 

 tendency of the trade toward expan- 

 sion, the report of M. C. Wright, man- 

 aging director of Lord & Burnham Co., 

 Chicago, that the volume of business 

 icceived by the firm from the first of 

 the year has exceeded that of any cor- 

 responding period in the company's his- 

 tory, is especially interesting. At this 

 time, too, a large number of inquiries 

 are still being received daily, and the 

 factory has been working overtime to 

 enable the company to maintain jn'omjit 

 deliveries des])ite the large number of 

 orders. As indicative of the situation 

 in various htcalities, the following list 

 of L. & B. greenhouses ordered of the 

 western company is ]iresented, through 

 the courtesy of Mr. Wright:
