The Weekly Florists' Review* 



NOVEMBEB 29, 1906. 



MEDIUM AND SHORT 



Buyers whose trade does not call for extra long, select stock will please remember that no matter how high a grower's 

 average quality may be, a certain part of the cut is bound to be medium to short. Our reputation for producing the 

 best stock in the West is so well established that buyers naturally come to us for Fancy, but some forget that we are 

 equally well able to supply their less exacting needs; in fact, we have an especially attractive proposition for regular 

 buyers of medium grade stock. Write us about it.

 Winsor. 



Alex. J. Guttman, New York, brought 

 Victory, and tlie Chicago Carnation Co., 

 .loliet. III., was represented by Bed Bid- 

 ing Hood and Aristocrat. 



Among the exhibitors from Utica and 

 nearby towns were W. A. Kowlands, who 

 showed rose-pink Enchantress and roses; 

 George H. Benedict, Yorkville, American 

 Beauty roses; .Joseph Traudt, Canajo- 

 harie, Gloire de Lorraine begonias; Rob- 

 ert Train, Gloversville, roses; Wm, P. 

 Pfeiffer, Carnation Moonlight; J. C. 

 Graham, lattle Falls, ]i]nchantres8 car- 

 nations; E. J. Byani, Eome, carnations; 

 Frank McGowan, a large collection of 

 chrysanthemums; Baker <fc Co., fine roses. 



After inspecting the exhibits the mem- 

 bers of the club with their wives and 

 lady friends, making in all a party of 

 eighty, sat down to an excellent ban- 

 quet. Among those present were Sew- 

 ard Hakes, Theodore Schesh and .Taoob 

 Friis, Ilion; J. O. Graham, Little Falls; 

 Joseph Traudt, Canajoharie; J. Kil- 

 bourn, Clinton; E. J. Byam, Rome; Rob- 

 ert Main, Gloversville; F. R. Pierson, 

 Tarrytown; P. R. Quinlan, Syracuse, and 

 A. J. Guttman, New York. 



Frank J. Baker called to order and 

 said that all felt greatly obligated to 

 the committee which had madfe so great 

 a success of the show, J. C. Spencer, Wm. 

 Pfeiffer and Frank McGowan. 



F. E. Pierson, of Tarrytown, was first 

 called on, and spoke briefly. He said in 

 part: "I have enjoyed my visit im- 

 mensely. It is a most pleasant feature 

 of horticultural banquets to find ladies 

 present. I came here to spend a few 

 hours and I have visited Mr. Nicholson's 



place at Barneveld. It is like bringing 

 coals to Newcastle to bring carnations to 

 Utica, for you have the new varieties 

 here." 



A. ,T. Guttman, of New York, said: 

 * ' I wish to thank you for the handsome 

 way I have been entertained. I enjoyed 

 your beautiful exhibits. I am enthusi- 

 astic as a florist, and you can appreciate 

 the pleasure I derive from such a gatherr 

 ing lis' this. You no doubt enjoy it 

 equally well, or you would not bring 

 these festivities about. It is most pleas- 

 ant and profitable to attend these fes- 

 tivities. I again thank you. ' ' 



P. R. Quinlan, of Syracuse, was then 

 called on and spoke entertainingly. He 

 paid his respects to the toastmaster, and 

 spoke of the good times he had had at 

 previous banquets, as Avell as this. He 

 had enjoyed his afternoon and evening 

 witli the boys and the girls as well. He 

 thanked Mr. McGowan for insisting that 

 the ladies be present. He compared the 

 flowers grown today with those grown 

 years ago, and found a great improve- 

 ment. The ha])piest days of his life had 

 been spent in the florists' business. 



DETROIT. 



The Market. 



Business has been good. The market 

 remains well cleaned up on roses and 

 carnations, but nuims have been a glut 

 all along. Roses are bringing as high as 

 $8 and $10 per hundred for fancy, and 

 scarce at that. Carnations were bring- 

 ing from $3 to $5 up to Thanksgiving. 

 Chrysanthemums sell at almost any price 



from $4 per hundred to $3 per dozen. 

 Greens are plentiful, but violets are 

 scarce. 



Qttb Meeting. 



A flower show held in connection with 

 the Detroit Florists ' Club 's last meeting,. 

 November 21, attracted an unusually 

 large attendance. 



H. Pearco was unanimously elected a 

 member of the club. Leopold Mallest, of 

 Mount Clemens, made application for 

 membership. H. Knope, foreman at J. 

 Breitmeyer & Sou's greenhouses, was 

 given a vote of thanks for an excellent 

 paper read by him on the culture and 

 handling of chrysanthemums. 



Fred Pautke, of Grosse Pointe, who 

 has been having considerable trouble 

 with the leaf-miner eating the foliage of 

 his mums, was able to show the mem- 

 bers where this pest originated. Mr. 

 Pantke had in a small bottle a number 

 of small green flies hatched from the 

 eggs laid by the leaf -miner. The latter, 

 ue claims, can be traced back to these 

 flies, the result being that many of the 

 members blame the use of horse manure 

 for the Avhole trouble. 



P. J. Lynch, with the Dingee & Con- 

 ard Co., of West Grove, Pa., who was 

 present, complimented the club on. its 

 fine attendance. 



An exhibition of Christmas novelties 

 will be the feature of the evening of 

 December 5. 



After adjournment the entertainment 

 committee provided a fine lunch, after 

 which several hours were spent in in- 

 specting the blooms and plants on exhi- 

 bition, as follows:
