The Florists' Review 



Apbil 1, 1915. 



NEWPORT, E. I. 



Four Flower Shows. 



At least four flower shows will be 

 held in this city the coming summer, 

 and, as a result, the season is expected 

 to be an unusually busy one in florists' 

 circles. The Newport Horticultural 

 Society will have its annual rose exhi- 

 bition in June; the American Sweet 

 Pea Society, an exhibition in connection 

 with its annual convention at the New- 

 port Casino, July 8 and 9, the Newport 

 Garden Association and the Newport 

 Horticultural Society joining • in the 

 event. The outdoor show of the New- 

 port Garden Club and the Newport 

 Horticultural Society will be held 

 August 12 to 14; and in the following 

 week, August 18 and 19, the American 

 Gladiolus Society will hold its fifth 

 annual exhibition, under the auspices 

 of the Garden Association and the Hor- 

 ticultural Society. The outdoor flower 

 show, which will be similar to that 

 given by the two associations at Bel- 

 court last summer, is being planned on 

 a much more elaborate scale and the 

 schedule, which is being arranged by 

 the Horticultural Society, will be ready 

 in a few days. Negotiations are in 

 progress for a large vacant lot on 

 Bellevue avenue, which will afford am- 

 ple room for an artistic layout. Cut 

 flowers, plants and vegetables will be 

 exhibited, for which suitable and sub- 

 stantial prizes will be offered. 



Various Notes. 



Carl Jurgens is receiving the con- 

 gratulations of his numerous friends 

 on the visit of the stork to his home 

 March 21 with a bouncing boy. 



There is a movement to hold a mer- 

 chants' week here in the near future, 

 and among those who have signified 

 their intention of participating are a 

 number of florists. 



Andrew K. McMahon was elected 

 superintendent of the Island cemetery 

 for the thirty-second consecutive year 

 at the annual meeting of the corpora- 

 tion last week. 



H. J. Hass reports an increased de- 

 mand this season for small and medium 

 sized lilac bushes, both white and 

 purple. 



Valdemar Barth has accepted a fore- 

 manship in Wadley & Smythe's nurs- 

 eries on Vernon avenue, under the 

 management of Albert J. Smythe. 



W. H. M. 



Tiffin, O. — The Ullrich greenhouse 



groperty, offered at administrator's sale 

 [arch 20, was purchased by Prank M. 

 Schramm, of Schramm Bros., Toledo, 

 for $13,000. The purchase includes only 

 the real estate, not the greenhouse 

 stock. 



Robert Craig Says His 



Skinner System 



"Both Saves and Makes Money" 



It saves money by saving labor and water. 



It makes money by producing better plants. 



It solves those most difficult of problems, the proper watering 

 •and preservation of air moisture so vital to the foliage plants 

 grown so extensively by them. 



The Scatter Mist nozzles used make a spray so fine that it settles 

 down on the plants much as do the shifting fogs of the tropical 

 climate in which these plants are at home. 



To come anywhere near these results is next to impossible with 

 hand watering. 



A Try-out Try 



$11.75 will buy a 50-foot Complete Portable Line, all ready to 

 connect up. Order it. Try it out. Convince yourself. If payment 

 is included with the order we will send you two sets of nozzles— 

 the Scatter Mist for inside use; the Silver Stream for outside.
