The Florists' Review

WOONSOCKET, E. L 



The Flower Show. 



At the flower show held at the First 

 Baptist church to encourage the grow- 

 ing of flowers and to show the prod- 

 ucts of local growers, the florists of 

 the city made particularly fine displays. 

 The most beautiful and attractive was 

 that of W. H. Flye. The background 

 of his exhibit was green and in the 

 center was an American flag of asters 

 and salvias, with stars of feverfew. 

 A vase thirty inches high, made of 

 500 asters, held some American Beau- 

 ties. 



The Continental Nurseries, of Frank- 

 lin, Mass., of which M. J. Leeuwen is 

 the proprietor, had a fine display of 

 Japanese, Chinese and native ever- 

 greens, including forty-one distinct va- 

 rieties. John T. Hayes had a good 

 showing of the same nature, with fif- 

 teen varieties. Drabble Bros, had a 

 good showing of mums, asters, etc., and 

 Vose the Florist of silk oak, mums, 

 roses, etc. 



Various Notes. 



Arthur Ames, of Paseoag, is build- 

 ing another greenhouse to meet the de- 

 mands of his increasing trade. Last 

 year he waB unable to supply the large 

 demand he had for bedding stock. 



William H. Flye has his new green- 

 house, one of the finest in the vicinity, 

 filled with mums and other stock, all in 

 the best condition. He has added car- 

 nations to his stock this year and is do- 

 ing a thriving business in that line.

The Market. 



After a week of most delightful sum- 

 mer weather, beneficial to much of the 

 greenhouse stock, which is backward 

 this year, we have a change that makes 

 an overcoat feel comfortable and is 

 much more like chrysanthemum weather. 

 We have had little rain so far this fall 

 and conditions have been fine for the 

 fellows who have been behind in their 

 work. 



Among the wholesalers there is some 

 improvement in business. They are re- 

 ceiving elegant roses, and carnations are 

 getting longer-stemmed and more plen- 

 tiful. While the bulk of the chrysan- 

 themums coming in are of the Polly 

 Rose, Pacific and poorer sorts, there are 

 some of the larger white, yellow and 

 pink varieties, about enough to supply 

 all demands. Valley, which was scarce 

 for a day or two, is again plentiful and 

 good, as are Beauties and cattleyas. 



Club Meeting. 



The Florists' Club met October 7, at 

 the Fort Pitt hotel. There was a large 

 and enthusiastic attendance and an in- 

 teresting lot of exhibits. Randolph & 

 McClements had some fine Giatrasii and 

 Smithii ferns in 4-inch pots. These 

 varieties are highly recommended by 

 this firm and they are an authority, as 

 they handle thousands of them. Carl 

 Becherer, gardener at Dixmont hospital, 

 had some of the best single dahlias ever 

 grown in this vicinity. Henry A. Dreer, 

 Inc., Philadelphia, sent a lot of fine 

 single and cactus dahlias that attracted 

 the interest of everyone present, and 

 from the number who were making 

 memoranda one would say the exhibitor 



will hear from this exhibit in a more 

 substantial way. R. Vincent, Jr., & 

 Sons Co., White Marsh, Md., also sent 

 dahlias, the large show kind, and you 

 should understand that large means im- 

 mense, especially Geisha, the largest 

 dahlia ever seen here. George "Wesse- 

 nauer, of Sewickley, Pa., had a collection 

 of tuberous-rooted begonias which were 

 good. W. C. Beckert had an interesting 

 display of Dutch bulbs. Schenley park 

 showed Chrysanthemum Artistic Queen, 

 one that would make a good commercial 

 flower J also a spray of flowers from the 

 century plant. Chas. Knauff exhibited 

 dahlias and roses that were grown right 

 in the city; these were commended, not 

 because they were so fine, but for the 

 reason that they were so well grown un- 

 der the conditions. A. J. Chantler, gar- 

 dener for Mrs. J. D. Lyon, of Sewickley 

 Heights, was highly commended for a 

 collection of show dahlias. 



The man was there who has a ma- 

 chine for holding pots when grafting. 

 It looked like a good thing. He claims 

 it will save about one-fourth the time. 

 He also had a device for picking apples. 



Various Notes. 



Miss E. B. Maxwell, of Wilkinsburg, 

 Pa., has the sympathy of the trade, as 

 well as of a host of friends, in the 

 death of her father, which occurred 

 October 13. Clarke.
