New Wliolesale Commission House. 



Edward J. Welch, for some years 

 with Welch Bros. Co., and a son of the 

 late Patrick Welch, will open a whole- 

 sale commission house at 288 Devon- 

 shire street, Boston, July 1. Mr. Welch 

 traveled for some years iij the interests 

 of Welch Bros. Co. in New England, 

 Now York and Canada. In 1912 he 

 went to Lakeview Eose Gardens, James- 

 town, N. Y., to learn commercial rose 

 growing under the late Lawrence Cot- 

 ter. In 1915 he went to San Francisco 

 to learn the nursery business, working 

 with the MacEorie-McLaren Co., at San 

 Mateo. He is a member of a number 

 of clubs, horticultural and floricultural, 

 in the United States and Canada, and, 

 being well and favorably known to so 

 many in the trade, should succeed in his 

 new venture, just as did his esteemed 

 father. 



New England Florists' Alliance. 



Two weeks ago, in The Eeview, it was 

 announced that Eugene M. Naukam, 

 having completed his few months' con- 

 tract spent in organizing and strength- 

 ening the New England Florists' Al- 

 liance, had returned to Buffalo, and that 

 Major George C. Moyse, representative 

 in the state legislature from Waltham", 

 had been elected to the vacancy. Mr. 

 Naukam did splendid work here, and 

 general regret is expressed at his leav- 

 ing. His successor is full of energy and 

 is well known locally on account of his 

 former connection with the New Eng- 

 land Flower Growers' Association. The 

 Alliance is fortunate to have been able 

 to secure the services of two such bright 

 and brainy men to direct its energies. 

 Eesults to date have been most pleas- 

 ing, and constant progress is being 

 made, as shown by the number of new 

 members and the constantly increasing 

 receipts. That the organization was 

 badly needed here, everyone connected 

 in any way with the trade must admit, 

 and that it is bound to become a for- 

 midable factor in the flower trade, is 

 agreed. 



Plans for an energetic fall campaign 

 are being considered, and the en- 

 thusiasm being displayed is unlike any 

 heretofore shown in conservative New 

 England. It behooves growers and re- 

 tailers who have not yet become af- 

 filiated with the alliance to do so at 

 once. They need the help of the al- 

 liance and the alliance needs them. 

 The success of the alliance is assured, 

 but the management wants to make 

 New England preeminent and desires as 

 complete a membership as possible.

All women admit they like flowers, but the worry, 

 trouble and mess together with poor, scraggly plants 

 and few blooms as the result have discouraged them in 

 ever trying. Show these women that it is now easy

 healthy, beautiful plants with
