26 The Weekly Florists^ Review* septehbk« 12. 1907 



farm of R. Vincent, Jr., & Sons Co., at 

 White Marsh, Md., September 17. There 

 will be a large number present. The fine 

 trip last year is still fresh in the memory 

 of those who attended. 



Joseph E. Freeman, being requested to 

 say a few words for the Florists' Club in 

 receiving the cup won in Philadelphia, 

 said that there could be no time or place 

 more appropriate to express his personal 

 feelings toward the loyal friends who 

 showed their confidence in him during the 

 recent convention. In an extremely happy 

 vein he paid tribute to two classes of 

 voters, those who were his own friends 

 and who worked for his election and 

 those who openly and in manly fashion 

 championed the cause of the successful 

 candidate. He then thanked the bowling 

 team for its diligence, courage and skill, 

 as demonstrated by the winning of the 

 beautiful cup handed over to the club 

 through the generosity of the Philadel- 

 phia brethren. He regretted that the cup 

 was full of nothing more substantial than 

 his personal good will and gratitude, of 

 which it was full to overflowing. He paid 

 a glowing tribute to the Philadelphia 

 Florists' Club, which, he said, made every 

 Washingtonian feel as if he were a spe- 

 cial guest, and said that he had no doubt 

 they succeeded in conveying the same feel- 

 ing to those from all other places. He 

 said the series of entertainments was 

 complete and satisfying, that the florists 

 of Philadelphia had made Philadelphia in 

 fact what it was in name, the City of 

 Brotherly Love, and that their generosity 

 and attention would Uve as long as the 

 memory of the recipients of their bounti- 

 ful hospitality. 



By Wm. Gude's motion, Mr. Freeman 

 and Mr. McCauley were appointed as a 

 committee to get up a suitable letter 

 thanking the Philadelphia club for the 

 noble manner in which they had enter- 

 tained the florists from Washington.

NEW ORLEANS. 



From what can be learned in a general 

 way, the crop of chrysanthemums seems 

 to be growing quite satisfactorily, out- 

 door plants seeming ahead of the ones 

 under glass. In fact, growing chrysan- 

 themtuns in a closed house requires more 

 attention and expense than is put on the 

 ones outside, which can be covered at bud- 

 ding time. The season has been quite 

 favorable and if quantity and quality are 

 not good the weather should not be 

 blamed for it. 



C. W. Eichling is getting ready for his 

 fall trade. Boxes of bulbs are unpacked 

 all over his place. His Adiantum hy- 

 bridum, of which he makes a specialty, 

 are clean and ready to start after their 

 summer's rest. His stock of palms is 

 free of insects. 



Chairman John Frawley, of the budget 

 committee of the city council, is asking 

 for an increase of appropriation for the 

 City park and Audubon park. M. M. L. 



DuLUTH, Minn. — W. W. Seekins was 

 busy with funeral work last week and has 

 had a good many reception and wedding 

 decorations, including an especially large 

 one at the Spalding hotel. The wedding 

 decorations were carried out in pink and 

 white roses exclusively. He is at present 

 growing all his own roses at the Wood- 

 land greenhouses. Flower trade is good 

 here and the florists cannot complain. —

 mann Bros., in this city, September 26, 

 to which the trade is invited. There 

 will be on display about 500 varieties of 

 dahlias in the different types and classes. 

 Mr. Barnes hopes that this will be the

 will be a vote taken by the florists on 

 the ten best varieties for florists' use.
