The Weekly Florists' Review* 



May 23, 1907. 



HANCOCK, MICH. 



The recently organized Lakeside Flo- 

 ral Co., which has absorbed the Lutey 

 Floral Co., of this city, with green- 

 houses at Chassell and Calumet, has de- 

 cided to enter the nursery and green- 

 house business on a much broader scale. 

 A meeting of the directors of the com- 

 pany was held here May 11, when it was 

 decided to enlarge the plant at Chassell 

 at once, making the capacity nearly 

 double that at present. 



The new portion will be devoted to 

 growing carnations and roses. Commenc- 

 ing next fall the company will go in 

 for the growing of winter vegetables at 

 the Calumet greenhousifis. They will grow 

 cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, radishes and 

 mushrooms. 



Within the next few days the com- 

 pany expects to open a branch store in 

 Laurium, by which time it will have the 

 county well covered with branch stores. 



It was also decided to engage in the 

 nursery business on a large scale. There 

 are eighty acres adjacent to the plant 

 at Chassell, of which twenty are to be 

 planted at once with nursery stock for 

 next spring. 



MANCHESTER, MASS. 



The North Shore Horticultural So- 

 ciety held its regular meeting May 17. 

 W. E. Allen showed a vase of fine En- 

 chantress carnations, and was awarded 

 a certificate of merit for superior cul- 

 ture. James Salter received a certificate 

 of merit for Phlox Drummondii, Phlox 

 Miss Lingard and White Column stocks. 



The silver cup oflfered by the Blue HUl 

 Nurseries for the best collection of 

 herbaceous perennials will be competed 

 for at the June show, instead of the Au- 

 gust show, as printed in the schedule. 



B. Hammond Tracy, the Cedar Acres 

 gladiolus specialist, gave an interesting 

 and instructive lecture on gladioli, enu- 

 merating and describing all the best 

 strains of this beautiful flower. A vote 

 of thanks was extended to Mr. Tracy for 

 his lecture. W. T. 



Ealeiqh, N. C. — Miss Emily Stein- 

 metz and Dr. Guy A. Roberts were mar- 

 ried one morning last week at the First 

 Presbyterian church, which was profusely 

 decorated by the bride's father, Henry 

 Steinmetz. Miss Matilda Steinmetz, a 

 sister of the bride, was maid of honor.

LIKE THE BEE 



A Prosperous Florist 

 Is Never Idle 



An Immense Stock of Bedding: Plants Now Ready 



The Bee is the first that takes advantage of the Great Work that Godfrey Aschmann. the never 

 resting florist, with the assistance of his three grown-up, wlde-a-wake sons, John, Edward and 

 Howard, and together with his faithful employees, have done since Easter. Just think! Everything 

 nearly empty at Easter and now, now, look now. only four weeks have elapsed and such an Immense 

 stock ready to put on the market. Can It be possible? No wonder the bees enjoy their lives in 

 Aschmann's greenhouses. Just look how they are swarming. -'Oh, Aschmann's flowers taste so 

 sweet," the bees say. "We cannot stop; we have a big held to work on; 100^00 of the choicest plants: 

 every nook and comer full; let us harvest." Secure Bargains now and for Decoration Day.
