The Florists' Review 



July 23, 1914. 



^ DBS MOINES, lA. 



Everybody is preparing for the show 

 at the state fair. It is reported that 

 the tomato crop is a bumper one this 

 year. The bedding stock in and around 

 Des Moines was soon cleaned up this 

 season. 8. A. Nutt is still a special 

 favorite among the geraniums and a 

 good many orders for it were turned 

 down. 



The Wilson Floral Co. is busy bench- 

 ing the stock chrysanthemums. This 

 firm 's carnations are the best they have 

 liad for several years and are m fine 

 shape for benching. 



Frank Page and Mr. Kurtzweil, of the 

 Towa Seed Co., have returned from the 

 seedsmen's convention at "Washington, 



D. C. Mr. Page prolonged his visit in 

 the east, and on his return trip he called 

 at the hospital in Rochester, Minn., to 

 see his father, C. N. Page, who has 

 undergone an operation. The operation 

 was successful and the patient is doing 

 as well as can be expected. The carna- 

 tions at the greenhouses of the Iowa 

 Seed Co. are in good condition and al- 

 ready the benches are being filled. Sev- 

 eral of the newer varieties are being 

 tried this year, including Matchless, 

 Rosette, Gloriosa, Comfort and Pink 

 Delight. The chrysanthemums also look 

 much better than last season. Chryso- 

 lora hft3 been added to the early vari- 

 eties. L. Copeland has taken over the 

 propagating department of the green- 

 houses, formerly in charge of J. Rogers, 

 who is now with the Wilson Floral Co. 

 Mr. Davinaon, the superintendent, is 

 expected soon to return from Denver, 

 where business matters have kept him. 

 Harry Berrickman, the shipping clerk 

 at the greenhouses, is suffering from a 

 partial paralysis of one of his arms, but 

 is said to be recovering. 



Carl Olsen, of this city, met with 

 a painful accident recently while return- 

 ing home from the greenhouses. He was 

 knocked off his bicycle and his face 

 was badly cut and bruised. W. D. 



PRINCE AliBEBT, SASK. 



A hail storm, the heaviest in years, 

 visited this city on the evening of July 

 7, accompanied by torrents of rain. The 

 hailstones fell thickly and were of large 

 size, some being fully two inches in 

 diameter. The heaviest loser here was 



E. J. Coster, proprietor of the Saskatch- 

 ewan Greenhouses, whose loss will prob- 

 ably total over $1,000 through broken 

 glass and damaged plants. The large 

 stones, falling in large numbers, broke 

 hundreds of lights, and the heavy rain 

 poured in through the openings. 



Thtmas Robinson, who has a green- 

 house north of the river, suffered about 

 $40 damage to his place.
