The Florists' Review 



August 5. 1015. 



impressed with the splendid palms 

 growing in New Orleans, both on 

 private grounds and in the nurseries. 

 Stocks of Areca lutescens, Phoenix 

 Eoebeleuii, Latania Borbonica, wash- 

 ingtonias, etc., are superior to the Euro- 

 pean grown, and more abundant. He 

 intended to take in the seedsmen's con- 

 vention at San Francisco, but his trip 

 was curtailed by urgent business at 

 home. 



Judging the Cleveland gardens 

 proved the most strenuous work of the 

 kind ever experienced by Judges Adam 

 Graham and Herman Hart. Prof. Carl 

 H. Knirk, who accompanied them, de- 

 cided that Mr. Graham, the oldest of 

 the three, had discovered the fabled 

 fountain of perpetual youth. The 

 Cleveland Plain Dealer was fortunate 

 in securing the services of the gentle- 

 men mentioned, who gave their time 

 gratuitously, solely for the purpose of 

 increasing the appreciation of the arti- 

 san classes for the beautiful and the 

 practical home gardens. 



Lot Salter, grower for David Shan- 

 non, at Fort Hamilton, N. Y., is quite 

 successful with chrysanthemums grown 

 in benches, in soil three inches deep, 

 securing two and three stems to a 

 plant. He does not begin to feed until 

 the end of August. White Cloud is 

 the leader; all varieties are grown. 



Yuess Gardens Co., Newburgh, N. Y., 

 reelected the board of officers. It has 

 had a successful season. 



Mark Crawshaw, Newburgh, N._ Y., 

 notes an improvement in many lines. 

 He is busy renovating and preparing 

 for a good fall business. 



Schaefers, Inc., Newburgh, N. Y., 

 will be strengthened by the addition 

 of Duncan Aird, who supersedes Geo. 

 F. Chadborn as manager. Mr. Aird was 

 superintendent of the Van Duzen estate, 

 one of the show places on the Hudson, 

 for twenty -five years. Mr. Chadborn 

 is retiring because of poor health.

PROQRKSS-What li PROGRESS? 



■ Webster defines progress as moving forward, 

 to increase, to advance, to go forward; a man 

 makes slow progress, or a man makes rapid 

 progress. 



Some of us worry too much about making 

 "Progress," and others forget it entirely; but 

 we all reap the results of our efforts.
