The Florists' Review 



Sbftbmbbb 25, 191d. 



the executive committee of the Gar- 

 deners' and Florists' Club. He is a 

 bright and progressive young man and 

 his many friends here yjish him every 

 success in his new field. 



Thomas F. Galvin has had one of his 

 large windows exclusively devoted to 

 named dahlias of late, and they have 

 attracted much attention. 



P. & W. O. Jahn, of East Bridge- 

 water, are sending fine pink sn^drag- 

 ons to W. H. Carr, at the Boston Flower 

 Exchange. A. H. Knight, of Shrews- 

 bury, also has some excellent carnations 

 here. . 



W. W. tldgar Co. has one large house 

 devoted tO'tJolden Glow mums. Mr. 

 Bartsch says they find this variety pays 

 well, aird the crop is cleared a full 

 month ahead of about all other com- 

 mercial yellows. 



If present plans materialize, there 

 will be a fine garden of ten acres not 

 far from Horticultural hall, which will 

 be laid out and planted with exhibits 

 in connection with the S. A. F. con- 

 vention in 1914. Speaking of attend- 

 ances at the 1890 convention, it is 

 worthy of note that no less than 1,177 

 persons enjoyed the clambake given at 

 Nantasket Beach under the auspices of 

 the Gardeners' and Florists' Club at 

 ' that time. 



Visitors last week included Duncan 

 Bobertson, of Chicago, at one time with 

 the firm of J. Newman & Sons, and 

 David A. Smith, of Thomas Smith & 

 Sons, Stranraer, Scotland. 



The Boston Cut Flower Co. is being 

 kept unusually busy with funeral work. 

 Mr. Eosenthal, the proprietor, speaks 

 highly of Milady and Mrs. Russell 

 roses. 



W. A, Hastings says he is receiving 

 unusually good pansies from H. D. 

 Ward, successor to W. C. Ward, of 

 Quincy, and extra nice carnations from 

 E. P. Peterson, of Saxonville. 



The next club meeting will be held 

 at Horticultural hall October 14 instead 

 of October 21, the regular date, the 

 halls of the society being all rented 

 for the. latter date. 



William Caraher, salesman for the 

 Sutermeister Estate, of Beadville, has a 

 grand lot of America and other gla- 

 dioli now at the Boston Flower Ex- 

 change. 



Peter Fisher has nearly all of his 

 Gorgeous carnations headed back fon 

 cuttings, for which there is a great 

 demand. 



Penn's, on Bromfield street, had one 

 window devoted to Rose Mrs. Russell 

 September 20, which Henry Penn 

 speaks enthusiastically of. They also 

 have a beautiful new Waban Conserva- 

 tories' seedling named Moorfield Storey, 

 similar in color to Taft but a great 

 improvement on that variety. They 

 have recently purchased a large quan- 

 tity of choice tropical plants from the 

 estate of Mrs. J. L. Gardner, Brookline. 



A. E. E. Koch, of Nobscot, is already 

 in the market with nice marguerites, 

 Mrs. Sander. 



The frosts recorded here September 

 15 and 16 were unusually severe for so 

 early in the, season. Temperatures as 

 low as 24, 20 and even 18 degrees wete 

 recorded in various parts of Massa- 

 chusetts, and tender plants, except at 

 high elevations or where well sheltered, 

 were mostly killed. 



Frank Edgar, of Waverley, is grow- 

 itag 4,000 pots and pans of poinsettias 

 this season. He has a fine lot of mums, 

 of which he is now cutting Golden 



Glow. He will grow Zvolanek's new 

 winter-flowering Spencer sweet peas to 

 follow the mums. 



Welch Bros. Co. will receive the full 

 season's crop of carnations from C. B. 

 Johnson, who recently purchased 

 Arthur Griffin's place in Woburn. 



A. G. Pembroke is back at his stand 

 in the Boston Flower Exchange, having 

 arrived home from a European trip 

 September 18. He had a delightful 

 trip, and brought home with him three 

 Pekinese dogs. 



fiends of H. Waldecker, of Brain- 

 tree, have received letters announcing 

 his safe arrival in Europe, where he 

 has gone for a needed vacation.
