The Florists' Review 



June 3, 1915. 



MOTT-LY MUSINGS. 



The veteran, Robert Craig, of Phila- 

 delphia, accompanied by H. Faust, of 

 Merion, Pa., was among the week- 

 enders at Atlantic City during my re- 

 cent visit. Mr, Craig commented on 

 the great changes made at this famous 

 resort and added, taking in a big 

 draught of ozone, that the old. ocean 

 is just as invigorating as ever. 



W. C. Hart, East Walden, N. Y., 

 was unable to attend the recent meet- 

 ing of dahlia growers in New York 

 city. He has one of the largest farms 

 in the Empire State, devoted almost 

 exclusively to this popular flower, 



F. X. Dienst, Middletown, N. Y., 

 says last week's was the best Memorial 

 business in his experience of a quar- 

 ter of a century. Everything that had 

 a bloom on it sold. He ran strong on 

 pelargoniums and ivy-leaved geraniums 

 as leaders. ' 



H. B, Wisner, Middletown, sold out 

 clean. He had a big run on cut flowers. 



Valentin Burgevin's Sons, Kingston, 

 N. Y,, made a fine display in their 

 handsome store during Memorial week 

 and had a satisfactory business, as 

 usual. 



William Williams, Kingston, ran 

 short of flowering plants. He could use 

 twice his amount of glass. This will 

 come later. 



Henry Hansen, Catskill, N, Y., had 

 good Memorial business, which was 

 interrupted by a tragedy, when an as- 

 sistant, Henry Lang, committed sui- 

 cide, presumably while temporarily in- 

 sane. 



Frank J. Weiss, Port Jervis, N. Y., 

 finds business so good as to warrant 

 the purchase of additional land. He 

 will install a new model No. 24 Kroe- 

 schell boiler as soon as the spring rugh 

 is over. Located near the cemetery, 

 on what was virtually a ruin, he has 

 built up, by grim determination, a 

 flourishing business in a short time. 



The Tripp Floral Co., Walton, N. Y., 

 reports satisfactory results from its 

 advertisement in The Review. Boilers 

 are heavy things to move; they have 

 one left to dispose of. Improvements 

 will be carried out during the summer. 



Bowman & Co. have acquired the 

 Holtslander greenhouses, at Liberty, 

 N. Y. Paul Johanssen is in charge 

 and reports good sales. W. M.
