The Weekly Florists' Review. 



XOVEMBEB 8, 1906. 



P, J. Hauswirth again has charge of 

 the admissions, but his duties are not so 

 arduous as last year. This time the Coli- 

 seum management get their rent on a 

 percentage basis, so they have to help 

 handle the cash. 



The flower booth is conducted by Will 

 Kyle and all profit goes to Mrs. James 

 Hartshorne. As most of the stock is 

 donated, a snug sum should be realized. 

 Mr. Kyle says especial thanks are due 

 Orr & Lockett, who built and installed 

 a special refrigerator for the sale. 



The judges are John Burton, of Phil- 

 adelphia; John F. Cowell, of Buffalo, 

 and John T. Temple, of Davenport, three 

 Johns whose combined experience covers 

 the whole range of floriculture. 



It always pays to read the schedule. 

 After some of the growers^ and few of 

 them are artists, had staged their big 

 vases of 100 mums they uiscovered that 

 the premium list said arrangement was 

 to be considered. The judges not get- 

 ting around until late, however, the 

 jostling of the crowd made all pretty 



well organized, and all departments in 

 such good hands, that everything moves 

 smoothly and the maximum result is 

 achieved with the minimum effort.

Thursday is visitors' day, the largest

The effort to add new features each 

 day is. well repaid in added interest. The 

 orchids were missed on Tuesday anfl

 experienced in handling big shows, so

Chrysanthemum Sodety Meets. 



The annual business session of the 

 Chrysanthemum Society of America was 

 called to order by President Wm. Duck- 

 ham at 3 p, m. Wednesday at the Coli- 

 seum. About a score of members were 

 present. J. N. May read the report of 

 F. H. Lemon, keeper of last year's 

 minutes, and Mr. Duckham read his ad- 

 dress, thanking the society for the honor 

 it had done him and expressing the pleas- 

 ure all felt at visiting Chicago again. 

 He also related some of the experiences 

 of his last year's trip to Scotland. Sec- 

 retary Fraser reported a large delinquent 

 list, and dead names were ordered 

 dropped. E. D. Smith was deputized to 

 keep up the list of introductions, but 

 asked the aid of all who send out new 

 sorts to the extent of supplying data. 

 Treasurer May reported a balance of 

 $259.96. The annual report was ordered 

 printed in pamphlet form. F. H. Lemon 

 read a paper by E. G. Hill discussing 

 the influence of climate in chrysanthe- 

 mum culture. It was full of interest 

 and led to some account of the effect 

 of early frost in hastening the develop- 

 ment of blooms, by W. B. Pierson, A. 

 Herrington, C. H. Totty and E. D. Smith. 



Officers were elected as follows: Presi- 

 dent, A. J. Loveless, Lenox, Mass.; vice- 

 president, Wm. Kleinheinz, Philadelphia; 

 secretary, David Fraser, Pittsburg; 

 treasurer, J. N. May. 



Invitations for 1907 were read, from 

 Jamestown, St. Louis and Indianapolis. 

 The choice was left to the executive 

 committee. 



Decatur, III.— About 26,000 tulip 

 bulbs have been planted in the city 

 parks. 



Waco, Tex.— C. H. Mayer will enter 

 exhibits at the Denison flower show in 

 November. 



RocKPORD, III.,— J. J, Soper has just 

 completed three additional houses 25x80. 

 Frank P. Zimmerman is his grower. 



Whitman, Mass.— L. W. Belcher, 

 who recently purchased the flower store 

 of R. E. Moir, has brought his family 

 here from South Weymouth.
