The Florists' Review 



JULT 24, 1918. 



all the Druidic orders of this country, 

 to take part in the international ses- 

 sion held in that city. He intends, at 

 the close of the convention, to visit the 

 various centers of horticulture in Eng- 

 land, combining business with pleasure. 



Henry Scheuermann, for many years 

 manager of the store of the Metairie 

 Bidge Nursery Co., has resigned his 

 position and is now connected, tempo- 

 rarily, with F. J. Eeyes & Co. 



J. A. Newsham has returned from a 

 two months' trip to England, Belgium 

 and France. At London he attended a 

 meeting of the Royal Horticultural So- 

 ciety, which was of a highly instructive 

 order. At Covent Garden he admired 

 the quick and up-to-date handling of all 

 kinds of plants and cut flow^ers. He 

 stated that the stock is shipped in open 

 trays, without any packing, by all the 

 railroads over the entire country, with 

 hardly any damage. Being an orchid 

 specialist himself, Mr. Newsham paid a 

 visit to some of the foremost growers of 

 this plant. He observed with keen in- 

 terest the large number of orchid seed- 

 lings raised by the specialists, but found 

 them, with a few exceptions, not equal 

 to the original species. At Ghent, Bel- 

 gium, he visited the specialists in aza- 

 leas, araucarias, kentias and Laurus no- 

 bilis, the principal plants grown for 

 southern exportation. At Paris he ad- 

 mired the exceptionally artistic window 

 displays in the flower stores. On the 

 return trip Mr. Newsham visited Henry 

 A. Dreer's place, in Philadelphia, and 

 found that this establishment displayed 

 more system, cleanliness and general 

 good management than most of the 

 places he had visited in Europe. He 

 spoke most highly of the hospitality 

 shown him during his entire trip. This 

 was his first visit to the old country in 

 twenty-five years. R. E.

KANSAS CITY. 



The Market. 



The market had a drop in business 

 last week, Saturday being the only good 

 day of the week. Funeral work is all 

 that is keeping the retailers going at 

 present. Some growers around the city 

 still have their old carnation plants in 

 the benches and they help out consid- 

 erably when there is a lot of funeral 

 work. 



Various Notes.
