The Florists' Review 



Jolt 16, 1914. 



and frequently is less hardy. The 

 golden privet is good where zero tem- 

 peratures are rare, and I have eulogis- 

 tic reports of it from Great Britain, 

 where it retains its foliage the year 

 around, but there, of course, the win- 

 ters are mild. 



■ For a really winter-proof hedge 

 plant, the Japanese privet, Ligustrum 

 Ibota, or even the European privet, L. 

 vulgare, can be used. If, however, L. 

 ovalifolium never winter kills, I would 

 plant it in preference to the golden 

 variety. C. W. 



NEWBUEaH, N. Y. 



Park Superintendent Chas. Haible 

 expects a large party of park superin- 

 tendents August 24, which, after a two 

 days' stay, will proceed to Manhattan 

 to be the guests of the commissioners 

 of parks in that city. Downing park 

 will be at its best and preparations are 

 being made to make the visit to this 

 town a pleasant one. 



After a successful career, Dr. Wes- 

 ley Wait, proprietor of the Newburgh 

 Floral Co., has retired from the busi- 

 ness. It was a case of rebuilding and 

 as the land was considered too valuable 

 for greenhouses, the plant has been dis- 

 mantled. The doctor, a pioneer in the 

 business and now independent, will be 

 content to note what the other fellow 

 is doing. The store will be continued 

 by D. Coy, formerly in charge of the 

 houses. 



Mark Crawshaw reports one of the 

 best of seasons, absolutely nothing left 

 at the finish. He is planning a new 

 house, 28x150 feet, for general pur- 

 poses. A house of Chrysanthemum, 

 Golden Glow and C. Harry Parr are 

 coming into bloom; they are planted in 

 solid beds of soil, formerly used for 

 violets and 4 years old. 



Geo. F. Chadburn, of Schaefers, Inc., 

 is of the opinion that the time is ripe 

 to form a combination in prices. Aster 

 Queen of the Market is a total loss 

 from stem-rot. This has occurred two 

 years in succession. The branching va- 

 rieties growing alongside are not af- 

 fected. 



Percy Herbert, of the Yuess Gardens 

 Co., reports excellent business. Carna- 

 tions have made fine growth and will 

 soon be inside. 



West Hartford, Conn.— The W. W. 

 Thomson Co. has filed a certificate of 

 incorporation, with a capital stock of 

 $50,000, and will grow and sell flowers, 

 plants and trees. The incorporators 

 are W. Wallace Thomson, R. Boy Thom- 

 son and Herman J. Miller. Of the 

 authorized capital stock, $20,000 is al- 

 ready paid in.

FIELD-GROWN ft^lt^r" 



This is not the ordinary run of surplus stock, the leftovers from a grower's 

 own planting— it is stock grown by a specialist on purpose to sell to the 

 trade. Everybody knows that our cut blooms are the finest it is possible to 

 produce, and that our business in rooted cuttings has reached enormous pro- 

 portions because of the fine quality of the stock we ship— well, these field- 

 grown plants are of the same high quality as the rest of our product. They 

 were grown specially to win your approval.
