The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



May 17, 1906. 



RED DEER, ALBERTA. 



E. Michener, B. Trimble and J. Slade, 

 doing business as the Eed Deer Nursery 

 Co., have enlarged their establishment 

 and gone into nursery work as well. 

 They have ninety acres of fine land, ly- 

 ing high and dry, and, although fruits 

 have never been grown here, they are 

 putting in a range of fruits to test them 

 and also as an experiment to find out 

 what will grow in this district. They 

 are setting out two acres of strawber- 

 ries, two of raspberries and two of cur- 

 rants and gooseberries, and also apples 

 and plums. A large trial ground for 

 vegetables, seeds and perennials will be 

 established. 



MILWAUKEE. 



The Milwaukee Florists' Club will 

 give a grand May party Saturday even- 

 ing. May 19, at Severence hall, 421 Mil- 

 waukee street. Messrs. Currie, Hunkel 

 and Zimmerman, of the entertainment 

 committee, promise a good time. Every- 

 body is requested to bring all the Queens 

 along, as the customary crown will be 

 bestowed on the handsomest and most 

 graceful lady in the hall. Able judges 

 have been secured. Incog. 



Chester, Pa. — On the night of May 

 6 thieves broke into C. P. Miller's green- 

 houses and took the cash from the 

 drawer in the office. 



Martinsville, Ind. — Last season 

 Nixon H. Gano had such good results 

 with a couple of benches of carnations 

 planted from pots that he is now busy 

 filling his entire space for carnations 

 with thrifty young stock from pots. 



Alvin, Tex. — C. "W. Benson says he 

 is confident that the crop of cape jas- 

 mine buds for Memorial day will be a 

 quarter of a million short of the quan- 

 tity available for the demand in 1905. 

 Other shippers liold a contrary view.

 say, "we cannot stop, we have a big field to work
