The Weekly Florists' Re view^ 



January 3, 1907. 



DOBBS FERRY, N. Y. 



The regular meeting of the Dobbs 

 Ferry Horticultural Association was 

 held in its room in Odd Fellows' hall, 

 Saturday evening, December 21, Presi- 

 dent Dunbar in the chair. The business 

 of the evening was the election of offi- 

 (;ers for the ensuing year. Joseph Dun- 

 bar was reelected president, E. Bore- 

 ham, vice-president, H. Kestberg, secre- 

 tary, C. Wilson, treasurer, and J. Brad- 

 ley, corresponding secretary. 



H. Kestberg was presented with $25 

 in gold as a token of appreciation of 

 his work for the society. Mr. Kestberg 

 was taken by surprise and replied to Mr. 

 Dunbar, who made the presentation, in 

 a feeling manner. He is held in high 

 esteem by the association and Joseph 

 Dunbar is liked so much that no man 

 would allow himself to be a candidate 

 against him. 



Befreshments Avere served and a pleas- 

 ant evening was spent. There was a 

 prize for the best bunch of carnations 

 in variety, which was awarded to J. 

 Bradley; H. Kestberg, second. James 

 Scott, of Tarrytown, and Claud "Wilson 

 were the judges. There is a prize for 

 the best bunch of fifty double violets, 

 to be competed for at our next meeting. 

 J. Bradley, Sec'y. 



SALEM, VA. 



Current Comment. 



Christmas week was quite a busy time 

 here. There was a fair supply of good 

 stock, both of roses and carnations, and 

 the growers are thankful they had enough 

 to supply their customers. The demand 

 for flowering plants, such as cyclamens 

 and primroses, was good and seems to be 

 on the increase. 



The prices for roses were at retail, 

 for fancy, $2..50 per dozen and $1.50 to 

 $2 for ordinary. Carnations brought 

 $1.75 per dozen for select stock and $1 

 for i\'o. 1. The demand for green stuff 

 was about equal to the supply. 



Mr. Curran, of the Salem Nurseries, 

 reports a good trade and expresses him- 

 self as pleased with his first Christmas 

 here. 



The weather, up till Sunday, was 

 mild ; tiien the thermometer dropped to 

 20 degrees with a high wind, which made 

 safe delivery difficult. K. 



NoRRiSTOWN, Pa. — Owing to the break- 

 ing down of his heating plant, Robert 

 Hull had several hundred dollars' worth 

 of plants destroyed by the cold on the 

 night of December 24. 



Portsmouth, O. — The Herms Floral 

 Co. suffered the loss of the bulk of its 

 cut flowers a night or two before Christ- 

 mas, on account of the cold snap. The 

 gas proved inadequate to heat the store 

 and on the same night the pump at the 

 greenhouse broke down, cutting off the 

 hot water supply.
