The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



April 12, 1906. 



ELMIRA,N.Y. 



The florists of Elmira were greatly 

 surprised to receive word that Supt. J. 

 J. Curran had severed his connection 

 with the United States Cut Flower Co. 

 Mr. Curran is very popular among those 

 who have the pleasure of his acquaint- 

 ance, and the news of his resignation 

 has caused much regret in town. The 

 employees of the U. S. Cut Flower Co. 

 presented him with a beautiful silver 

 smoker's outfit, including a fine meer- 

 schaum pipe. W. K. Compton, the presi- 

 dent of the company, acted as chairman 

 at the presentation, and spoke very 

 highly of Mr. Curran, and ably ex- 

 pressed the sentiments of all present. 



Mr. Curran did not disclose his plans 

 with regard to his future movements, but 

 wherever he may go, it is certain that 

 he will carry with him the best wishes 

 of all with whom he has associated in 

 Elmira. 



There will be a considerable increase 

 in glass here this spring, Fred La 

 France contemplates adding 10,000 feet 

 to his plant, to be devoted exclusively 

 to carnations. The United States Cut 

 Flower Co. is discussing the advisability 

 of erecting another 100,000 feet next 

 month. 



Business is fairly good and Easter 

 finds the growers well prepared to meet 

 the demand. J. E. S.

The regular meeting and display of the 

 New Jersey Floricultural Society was 

 held April 6. The usual exhibition of 

 the season's flowers from well-known 

 hands was made, about equally between 

 competitors for the society's prizes and 

 not for competition. Among the latter 

 were the choicest orchids from the houses 

 "of Lager & Hurrell and Julius Eoehrs 

 Co. 



James Kelly was elected to member- 

 ship and Louis Piker placed in nomina- 

 tion. 



The topic for the evening was * ' The 

 English Landscape," portrayed by col- 

 ored lantern slides by A. C. Bode, of the 

 Orange Camera Club, with explanatory 

 notes by the secretary. Jos. A. Manda 

 appeared for the first time since his ill- 

 ness. J, B. D. 



LENOX, MASS. 



The regular meeting of the Lenox 

 Horticultural Society was held April 

 7, President S. Carlquist in the chair. 

 The principal topic of the evening was 

 ' ' Potatoes. ' ' An offer of $25 was re- 

 ceived from A. -I» Boddington and one 

 of $18 from Vaughan to be used for 

 prizes at our chrysanthemum show. W. 

 J. & M. S. Vesey, Fort Wayne, Ind., 

 were awarded a first-class certificate for 

 an excellent vase of Carnation Glendale.

 And them as sensitive as a watch. We will be in Chicago soon to take up
