The Florists' Review 



Mabch 25, 1016. 



for the secretary and treasurer, all free 

 of charge. 



"Harry L. Zeese, Manager." 



T. I. Ilgenfritz is working hard as 

 chairman of the committee on arrange- 

 ments, and C. E. Burr is busy getting 

 together a program that will be as in- 

 teresting as instructive. Mornings 

 will be occupied by business and ad- 

 dresses, afternoons by recreation. 

 Wednesday afternoon, June 23, will be 

 devoted to an automobile ride through 

 Detroit's thirty public parks, Thursday 

 afternoon to a visit to the works of the 

 Ford Motor Co., and Friday afternoon 

 to a steamer trip on the Detroit river 

 and Lake St. Clair. 



Plenty of space is provided for trade 

 exhibits, which are in the charge of 

 Albert F. Meehan, of Dresher, Pa. As 

 the passenger associations now require 

 for reduced railroad rates a larger num- 

 ber of certificates than the association 

 can furnish, members can only get low 

 fares by taking advantage of the tour- 

 ist rates from the larger cities, which 

 take effect June 1. The badge book, 

 containing full particulars oTlhe meet- 

 ing, will be mailed early in June.

The Market. 



Business was quiet in the first part 

 of the week, but has improved greatly 

 in the last few days. Flowers of all 

 kinds are plentiful and the prices are 

 normal. Violets are especially abun- 

 dant and can be had for $3.50 per thou- 

 sand. 



Various Notes. 



It has been decided by the commit- 

 tee in charge to hold the annual ban- 

 quet of the New Bedford Horticultural 

 Society at the Parker House on the 

 evening of April 8. 



William M. Post, of Post & Gray, 

 attended the international flower show, 

 in New York. 



Julius the Florist reports business ex- 

 ceptionally good. He has his Ford de- 

 livery car on the job again, newly re- 

 painted after being damaged in the 

 garage fire. 



Peter Den Hartog, who travels for 

 P. Verdegaal, of Noordwykerhout, Hol- 

 land, was a recent visitor here.

CHALLENGE 

 LIUES 



I name them "Challenge" because I 

 challenge any buyer to find better lilies; 

 in height, bloom and foliage, they excel 

 any I have ever seen. Come and see if 

 they are not the best you ever saw. 



I also offer a very nice lot of Azaleas, 

 mostly Mme. Vander Cruyssen. 



Rhododendrons. 3 very desirable sizes 

 and varieties, finely set with buds. 



Spinet Gltdstine Teddy Jr. Teras

OPHELIA 



No fancy rose ever introduced pos- 

 sesses BO many excellent qualities. It 

 is a splendid grower, a very free 

 bloomer and has fine stems. It sells on 

 sight. The demand undoubtedly will 

 exceed the supply. Anticipating the 

 large demand, we have propagated it ex- 

 tensively.

FBANOIS SOOTT KEY 



This variety, raised by Mr. John 

 Cook, is very distinct, being entirely 

 different from any of the indoor roses 

 grown today. Flowers are rosy red and 

 are unusually large and double, resem- 

 bling very much a very full, double, 

 hardy garden rose. Coupled with its 

 large size and double form, it is an ex- 

 ceedingly free bloomer. It promises to 

 be exceedingly valuable, especially for 



PBINOE E. 0. D'ABENBEBQ 



This variety might well have been 

 termed a Bed Killarney, as it possesses 

 so many of the good qualities of the 

 Killarneys. In color the flowers are 

 similar to Richmond, but they are much 

 more double, and it should prove a 

 very much more profitable rose. Flow- 

 ers have fine, straight stems on all the 

 frades — from the shortest to the longest, 

 t has fine foliage, comes away quickly 

 and is even a freer bloomer than the 

 Killarneys. We believe it is the best 

 all-round red rose that we have today. 

 Strong plants on own roots, 2V4-lndi 

 pots, now ready, $12.00 per 100, $90.00 

 per 1000.
