The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



3VL.Y 5, 1906. 



DAYTON, OHIO. 



G)nventioii Preparations. 



Plans for the coming convention are 

 nearly completed. It remains but fo^r 

 the executive committee to finish the offi- 

 cial program, and all arrangements will 

 have been made for the banner conven- 

 tion in the history of the Society of 

 American Florists and Ornamental Horti- 

 culturists, to be pulled off at the shortest 

 notice. 



The surprises will be many to behold. 

 The wonderful illumination of Far Hills 

 will alone be worth a trip across the con- 

 tinent. The exhibit promises to be the 

 largest we have ever had. The housing 

 of guests is well looked after. The 

 amusements will be many and out of the 

 ordinary. The prices for all accommoda- 

 tions will be very reasonable and the 

 best to be obtained. All points of in- 

 terest in the middle west are easily 

 reached from fair Dayton at reasonable 

 prices. 



It i.s quite a compliment to be enter- 

 tained by the great National Military 

 Home, a thing which befalls but few so- 

 cieties in a decennium. The great enter- 

 tainment offered by the National Cash 

 Register Co. will surpass anything ever 

 seen by any visitor. Of this we are 

 confident. The work on the exhibition 

 and meeting grounds is progressing fine- 

 ly, and visitors will find everything neces- 

 sary to modern civilization, as near as 

 money can make it. All we have to say 

 is, "Come, and you will never regret it. 

 You will see much and you will learn 

 much. ' ' 



The headquarters during the conven- 

 tion will be the Hotel Algonquin. All 

 hotels are within one square of all street- 

 cars, taking you to the exhibition grounds 

 within ten minutes. We give here a list 

 and prices of the leading hotels:

 cerned. 



LENOX, MASS. 



The annual rose and strawberry ex- 

 hibition of the Lenox Horticultural So- 

 ciety took place in the town hall June 

 26. Unfortunately perennials and straw- 

 berries were scarce, the former owing to 

 the recent rains, the latter to the late- 

 ness of the season. Roses were shown 

 remarkably well, especiallj' a large vase 

 of Frau Karl Druschki, exhibited by E. 

 Jenkins, for which he was awarded a

 hibitors in pot plants were S. Carlquist, 

 who had some remarkably fine tuberous 

 begonias and gloxinias; E. Jenkins, who 

 had standard geraniums, which were ex- 

 cellent; they stood five feet high and 

 were literally covered with bloom ; gloxi- 

 nias, Acalypha Sanderiana ; and P. J. 

 Donahue, who had some good plants of 

 Nicotiana Sanderac. 



In peonies, J. Heeremans had the 

 largest display. Perennials were shown 

 by Miss A. Kneeland and Miss H. Par- 

 ish. In vegetables E. Jenkins and D. 

 Dunn were first in their respective 

 classes, in which were some good celery, 

 onions and potatoes, for this time of 

 year. J. Heeremans showed a collection 

 of vegetables, not for competition, for 

 which he was accorded a cultural com- 

 mendation, and a diploma for lettuce,
