The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



J 307 



an exhibit of his rose, Queen Beatrice, 

 for the rose show. Fine stock of this 

 rose can now be seen at his range, and 

 it looks as if it ia to be a stayer. 



From an estimate submitted to Chair- 

 man Tawney of the house appropriation 

 committee by the postmaster general it 

 is learned that the seeds sent out under 

 the franks of congressmen annually cost 

 the post oflBce department about $35,000. 

 That is probably twice as much as they 

 are worth, and when packing and other 

 expenses are considered, it will be seen 

 that the people pay a pretty sum for 

 this antiquated little graft for the 

 farmers. 



It does not appear, however, that there 

 is any great demand for free seeds from 

 the farmers. They accept and laugh at 

 them, and in some instances feed them 

 to the chickens. 



Secretary Taft was the guest of honor 

 at a dinner at the new Willard hotel 

 March 20, given by the party that were 

 his guests on his late Philippine trip. 

 The decorations, executed by J. H. 

 Small & Sons, were original and beauti- 

 ful. On the table the Island of Luzon 

 was geographically represented and 

 "China" and "Japan" were in the 

 background, represented with scenery, 

 palms, flowering plants and models. 



The most unique features were a 

 Philippine shack, or house, erected over 

 the table, and a model of the steamer 

 Manchuria moored at the wharf, the 

 guests entering the banquet hall over her 

 decks. 



The walls were heavily garlanded with 

 smilax and a profusion of American 

 Beauty roses, carnations and other sea- 

 sonable flowers, transformed all into an 

 oriental bower. Scottt. 



RALEIGH, N. C 



Business has been exceptionally good 

 this season, but Lent is having its effect 

 now. We long to see the day when it 

 will not weigh so heavily on our busi- 

 ness. It seems that if people want to be 

 self-sacrificing, meek and good, a nice 

 vase of flowers would help out consider- 

 ably and make them better still. 



We have the assurance of our con- 

 gressman that he will do what he can 

 to stop the free distribution of seed by 

 the government.
