The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



NOTBMBBS 22, 1906. 



ber 13 at the Bills greenhouses on North 

 Brown street, and the subject which will 

 come up for discussion will be "The 

 Propagation of Eoses and Carnations, 

 and the Most Profitable Bulb for Flo- 

 rists. * ' 



TOLEDO, OHIO. 



We had a special ±lorists' Club meet- 

 ing on Thursday, November 15, in order 

 to have a chance to examine some of the 

 late mums that were in their glory at 

 that time. George Bayer brought a few 

 flowers of Appleton, Wanamaker and 

 Bonnaffon, all as fine as can be found 

 anywhere. G. N. Keller, of the Bay 

 Shore, brought in a few old-fashioned va- 

 rieties, among them Beau Ideal, an old- 

 timer of twenty years ago, but still able 

 to hold up its head in good company. 

 He also showed some Dr. Enguehard 

 which were nice, but not fully developed. 

 Nathan Smith & Son, of Adrian, sent a 

 lot with the statement that they were the 

 best he could do at this late date, but 

 thought we might be interested in them 

 commercially. Among them were Mar- 

 tha Lesseur, fine; Mary Mann, rose pink, 

 built up high; President Roosevelt, pink; 

 an incurved Japanese, pink seedling; 

 Dakoma, largest size; light pink seedling 

 in the way of Viviand-Morel, and a few 

 other seedlings, all fine. The next meet- 

 ing will be a carnation and cyclamen 

 meeting to be held November 22. 



The mother of E. A. Kuhnke died No- 

 vember 13 of heart failure at the age of 

 65 years. A number of the local florists 

 sent flowers and several attended the 

 funeral. E. A. K. 



Bay Citt, Mich. — Boehringer Bros, 

 are building a large addition to their 

 office. 



Beatrice, Neb.— The Dole Floral Co. 

 has built an addition to its greenhouse, 

 20x40, to be used for growing lettuce. 



I have been a reader of the Review 

 for a number of years, and don't see 

 how any grower can do without it. — 

 Geo. W. Fagan, Cedar Falls, la.

 houses of J. V. Pfander are among the
