The Florists' Review 



Fbbbuaby 18, 1915. 



BEADINO, FA. 



Club Meeting. 



It is believed the Reading Florists' 

 Association enjoys a unique distinction, 

 that of having made it unanimous — 

 ■every eligible person within its district 

 is a member, including the florists of 

 Beading and those of the surrounding 

 boroughs and towns — West Reading, 

 "Wyomissing, Brookside, Shillington, 

 Sinking Spring, Hyde Park, Eosedale, 

 Temple, Tuckerton, Mt. Penn and 

 Stony Creek Mills. J. Stanley Giles is 

 president and P. H. Lauck secretary. 

 At the monthly meetings it is usual to 

 ^nd almost the entire membership pres- 

 ent. Usually there is a lecture, the ad- 

 •dress at the February meeting being 

 by Cyrus T, Fox, a nursery inspector 

 for the state, with a luncheon and 

 smokes. 



Thursday, March 4, W. H. Girvin, of 

 Lancaster, Pa., a carnation specialist, 

 win speak on "Carnations and Their 

 •Growth," Arrangements are being 

 made for the first annual banquet some- 

 time in March, the date and place hav- 

 ing not yet been determined. 



NEWPORT, R. I. 



There was a large attendance at the 

 meeting of the Newport Horticultural 

 Society February 9, attracted by the 

 principal topic for discussion, the advis- 

 ability of the society having a horti- 

 •cultural hall of its own. A committee 

 of five was appointed to further investi- 

 gate the proposition. 



John C. Hass has taken the local 

 Agency for B. F. Wallace, of Brooklyn, 

 N. Y. ^ ' 



The United States Senate February 

 13 confirmed the nomination of John B. 

 Sullivan, a well known gardener, to be 

 postmaster here. 



William Murphy has been drawn for 

 grand jury duty and Sven W. Johnson 

 for the petit jury. 



Charles D. Stark has resigned his 

 position as gardener for T. Suffern 

 Tailer after a service of twenty-eight 

 years. 



Funerals were numerous last month. 

 One florist filled an order for a funeral 

 ■every day in January except one.
