The Florists' Review 



NOTEMBEB 6, 1913. 



successful business has been built up 

 that is known all over the country. 



Godfrey Aschmann was in a cheer- 

 ful frame of mind. Business was good 

 for the season, he said. Azaleas were 

 selling particularly well. Pointing with 

 pride to some nice azaleas, Mr. Asch- 

 mann said that he had never seen them 

 finer. His look was one of satisfac- 

 tion as he strolled through the azalea 

 and araucaria houses. When one of 

 the begonia houses was reached he be- 

 came eager. Some Christmas red Be- 

 gonia luminosa needed room. - They 

 were in 2^4 -inch pots. Some of the 

 same sowing were in 4-inch pots and 

 were twice as large. How to get room 

 for a shift was the puzzle. That he 

 knows the value of room was seen on 

 all sides. A big batch of hardy ivies, 

 three in a pot, were reposing under a 

 bench in a cool house awaiting their 

 turn next spring. The force was di- 

 vided into two parts; one was pack- 

 ing orders, the other potting hyacinths. 

 One part was to go over the Lorraine 

 begonias before night, to get them just 

 right for the holidays. A few words 

 on the fern question, illustrated by 

 many pots and pans of them and thou- 

 sands of seedlings, closed a visit that 

 showed the speaker knew whereof he 

 spoke. 



The Opening of the Season. 



The roof of the Bellevue-Stratford 

 hotel was the scene of a brilliant en- 

 tertainment on the evening of Novem- 

 ber 3. It was the opening night of the 

 opera season. The host, a man of na- 

 tional reputation in the business world, 

 invited 100 guests to supper after the 

 opera. The roof garden of the Belle- 

 vue, be it known, is not literally on 

 the roof, but under it, on top of the 

 top story, the twenty-second I think it 

 is. The guests ascended gently to this 

 dizzy elevation in a carefully run car. 

 They found themselves confronting a 

 scene of rich tropical beauty. Directly 

 in front was a vine-covered pergola, 

 beyond a long walk through the for- 

 est. Tall spruces, hemlocks and palms 

 were interspersed with vines and 

 brightened by many tiny electric lights 

 that sparkled like fireflies. These bor- 

 dered each side, beneath a grassy walk. 



This walk changed from grass to tile 

 as it approached the wicker gate that 

 marked the entrance to the garden. 

 Here was a scene of splendid Brazilian 

 beauty. The center of the garden con- 

 tained a fountain and pool of water, 

 richly colored, from red to green, to 

 blue, to pale shimmering moonlight, by 

 electricity. Ferns and flowers sur- 

 rounded the fountain. Around this cen- 

 tral fountain and flower bed circled a 

 walk bounded by tropical verdure and 

 blossom, varied by a real Brazilian cot- 

 tage, with porch, balcony, green shades 

 and thatch roof, true to nature. The 

 host and hostess received in a curve 

 of the garden, with tall palms and deli- 

 cate oncidiums forming a lovely back- 

 ground. Beyond another grass covered 

 walk, with forest trees on either side 

 and sky-like covering above, led to the 

 supper room. There a touch of tropical 

 life was added to the handsome foliage 

 and flower and electric decorations. 

 Monkeys, canaries and parroquets dis- 

 ported among the trees to the sound of 

 sweet music from an orchestra em- 

 bowered at the end of the room. The 

 tables, seating four and five each, were 

 decorated alternately with fruit and 

 flowers.
