BOSTON NEWS NOTES. 



[Ooncinded from pace 34.] 



cesses in the retailers' department at 

 the great sweet pea show. Mr. Rosen- 

 thal always takes defeat philosophically 

 and his late sjiccesses were well mer- 



The garden committee of the Massa- 

 chusetts Horticultural Society visited 

 the nurseries of R. & J. Farquhar & Co. 

 at Dedham last week to inspect the 

 magnificently flowered field of Lilium 

 4inyriophyllum. A special certificate 

 was awarded in recognition of this 

 lily's desirability as a hardy garden 

 plant as well as a pot plant. 



The sweet pea show occupied the at- 

 tention of many of the growers last 

 week and notebooks and pencils were 

 plentiful at the show. The sweet pea 

 show has passed and now convention 

 talk is being indulged in and every 

 effort is being made to send a goodly 

 delegation from Boston. 



Mr. and Mrs. Martin Wax enter- 

 tained all the employees of Wax Bros, 

 at their apartments in the Hemenway 

 Chambers Jul/ 9, in honor of their 

 recent wedding. A collation was served, 

 vocal and instrumental music was fur- 

 nished by Mrs. Wax, who is a splendid 

 entertainer, and a general good time is 

 reported. 



H. W. Vose, who is one of the largest 

 aster growers in this vicinity, com- 

 menced July 7 to make daily shipments 

 to the Boston Flower Exchange.

Business is fair for tLo season, i^'low- 

 ers are scarce, both indoors and out- 

 doors. Everything is almost dried up, 

 as we have had but little rain the last 

 two months. 



Various Notes. 



The Wm. Blackman Floral Co. re- 

 ports good business, with a scarcity of 

 flowers. At the greenhouses things are 

 in good shape. One house of roses re- 

 mained to be cut back, but all the 

 others were in fine growth. Part of 

 the carnations were planted and look- 

 ing well. The other benches were being 

 emptied and refilled. An air-pressure 

 pump will be installed here. 



Julius Niednagel is busy and short 

 of flowers. 



E. L. Niednagel is fast getting every- 

 thing in good shape for the new season. 



J. C. Elspermann and wife are away 

 on a visit to Chicago and other places. 



Louis Fritsch says business is good, 

 but flowers are poor and scarce. 



iliss Nellie Goodge is doing well and 

 is kept busy with something right' 

 along. The outdoor stock requires con- 

 siderable attention these hot, dry days, 

 in order to keep growing. Asters are 

 almost a failure. E. L. F. 



HorneU, N. Y.— Albert King, who 

 conducted a florists' shop in North 

 ^lain street, is reported to have left 



this city. , 



Meridian, Miss.— A protest has been 

 ni'Ule by the citizens of this city 

 3g;i!ust the erection of a greenhouse in 

 ^A^'-emore cemetery by Mrs. J. E. 



atts. It is alleged that some graves 

 ^ere disturbed in digging for the foun- 



Mastodon 



probably cost more money, time and labor than 

 any strain ever offered to the trade. Their huge 

 size and wonderful range of colors represent a 

 triumph of twenty years of exclusive cultivation 

 and breeding of pansies. New crop now ready. 

 Oz.. $9.00; i4 oz.. $2.50: 1/12 oz.. $1.00. New 

 color plate trade catalogue out this month, in- 

 cluding directions for care and cultivation of 

 Pansies. Write fcr it.

Pays 



To 



Pacific Coast 



Florists: 



What stock have you 



for sale to the trade? 

 Is it moving as it should? 

 No? 



Then tell the trade abont 

 it by using the Pacific Coast 

 Pages of The Review. 



Pacific Coast advertisers al*^ 

 most invariably report good 

 results. Like this: 



Say! That ad's a humdinger for getting the 

 business.— Everett Floral Co.. Everett, Wash. 



I sold all the Mum cuttings advertised, and you. 

 will not hear from me again until I can get some 

 more stock ready. Shall root 100.000 Carnation 

 cuttings for next season, as I know The Review 

 will sell them for me.— Frank Wilhelm, Los An- 

 geles, Cal. 



Please cut out of our advertisement in The Re- 

 view the cyclamen seedlings. We sold all our 

 surplus cyclamen seedlings as a direct result of 

 our advertisement in your paper.— Spokane 

 Greenhouses (Inc.), Spokane, Wash. 



We want to say that our last advertisement in 

 The Review brought us orders from both the At- 

 lantic and Pacific coasts. We had, strangely 

 enough, on following days, orders from Salem. 

 Ore., and from Salem, Mass.— State Floral Co , 

 North Yakima. Wash. 



We are well pleased with the results obtained 

 by advertising in the Pacific Coast Department of 

 The Review. We sold out clean and refused 

 many orders. The Review surely gives results. 

 —Van Slyke & Seamons, Tacoma, Wash. 



The transient rate for space 

 is $1 per inch per insertion. 

 Those who have stock to offer 

 all or a considerable part of 

 the year around should write 

 for contract rates.
