The Florists' Review 



Jolt- 9, 1914. 



BEADINII, FA. 



Club Meeting. 



The regular meeting of the Reading 

 Florists' Association was held in the 

 Moore building with all members pres- 

 ent. A chtysanthemum show was- de- 

 cided on, to be held in Bajah Temple 

 November 11 to 13. J. Stanley Giles 

 was elected secretary of the show, and 

 Fulmer Lauch treasurer. A large num- 

 ber of valuable prizes have been do- 

 nated by business houses and silver 

 cups and medals of beautiful design 

 will be offered by the association. Her- 

 man Stabenow and Wm. Guldin were 

 elected to membership and several ap- 

 plications were received. 



Various Notes. 



Business has assumed its usual sum- 

 mer dullness and the florists report 

 little doing. Flowers are plentiful, 

 carnations holding up in good shape. 

 Gladioli and snapdragons are in good 

 supply. H, J. Huesman is cutting a 

 large crop of ismene, rather a rare 

 flower in this section. Gladioli at the 

 John Giles place are an important fac- 

 tor in the cut flower market. Mum 

 planting is nearly completed. 



A family picnic of the association 

 will be held at Heller's farm July 24 

 and the entertainment committee 

 promises some novel features. Among 

 the events will be a quoit match be- 

 tween Fred Frank and Paul Blackman.

AUSTIN, TEX. 



Continuous dry weather has followed 

 the wet spring. Eoses are among the 

 plants that have suffered severely, but 

 they are now coming out with new 

 vigor. 



In the effort to popularize the flower 

 habit, some of our growers are offering 

 Shasta daisies free to those who will 

 go to the gardens aad gather them. 



The matter of how to place our 

 greenhouses in this climate of ninety- 

 five per cent sunshine and ninety per 

 cent wind, has not been settled, nor 

 does it seem as if it soon will be set- 

 tled. The Austin Floral Co. built its 

 first houses ranging from south to 

 north, but the last houses run east and 

 west. Alff's and Friedrich's houses 

 run south to north, while the Seiders' 

 carnation houses are east and west. 

 Whether it is best to build greenhouses 

 running north and south or east and 

 west is a problem. We only know that 

 eastern and middle state advice is no 

 good here. H. B. B.
