JUST READ IT! 



The Florists* Review says in its issue of Sept. 18, 1907 : 



"The book Is noteworthy as showlnir the rapid development this house has made In 

 the last few years. The pagres are lOxlii and the book contains ninety-two (92) of them, 

 printed on the heavy calendered paper, so that the half-tone llluBtratlons show up In fine 

 shape. The C. C. PoUworth Co., Including the greenhouses, contaios about everyihingr the 

 florists of the nortiiwest require for their season's business. There are also a number of 

 pages devotf d to the plant department, others to bulbs, and tne body of the hook to the 

 supply business, which is rapidly becoming the leading feature with this firm. They handle 

 not only retailers' requisites, but a large line of supplies for the grower."

in his experience. A good many florists 

 laid in stock of palms. Some large ken- 

 tias brought $25 apiece. Palms are 

 scarce, the growers say. Siebrecht & 

 Son have not a kentia to offer at whole- 

 sale. Straws show which way the wind 

 blows. 



Hicks & Co. found more room a Neces- 

 sity. Now they have the entire floor at 

 52 West Twenty-third street and are 

 busy with fast growing shipments. The 

 ice-box has moved into the yard. 



Harry Hoffmeir, of Eighty-third street 

 and Broadway, has been busy with the 

 fall openings of the big stores, especially 

 in their millinery departments. 



Paul Meconi, the latest wholesale ven- 

 turer, has also ventured on the sea of 

 matrimony, having just married Miss 

 May Johnson, of Brooklyn. 



Ford Bros, found their big ice-box in- 

 adequate for the increased shipments of 

 the new season, and have just installed 

 another, almost as large, in their base- 

 ment. J. Austin Shaw. 



WASHINGTON. 



Business is on the increase. There 

 seem to be more early weddings this sea- 

 son than usual. The Saturday afternoon 

 wedding, since the Longworth-Roosevelt 

 affair, seems to be quite popular.^ It is 

 not so popular with the decorator, as it is 

 necessary to take the decorations out 

 the same day. 



The club attended the dahlia show at 

 White Marsh September 18. Mr. Gude 

 expressed himself, with the others who 

 attended, as being well pleased. The 

 blooms in the fields were not so far ad- 

 vanced as last year, but the show in the 

 potting-shed was as fine as, if not better 

 than, last year. The arrangement was 

 excellent. The roof was a canopy of 

 foliage and a number of new single va^ 

 rieties were shown and made quite a hit 

 with the dahlia experts. On the way 

 home the florists had quite a scare. As 

 their train was backing into a siding, a 

 New York train ran into the front end 

 of their train, reducing the engine and 

 tender to junk. Several were injured, but 

 luckily no florists among them. Ten sec- 

 onds would have made a different story. 



F. H. Kramer went to the dahlia show 

 and from there to Boston. 



Miss Nellie Breuninger, bookkeeper at 

 Gude's, has gone to the seashore for a 

 rest. O. O.

MANCHESTER, MASS.

 held its regular meeting September 20,

 instructive lecture on dahlias. Mr. Fuld 

 gave the history of the dahlia and also 

 of various dahlia societies, including the 

 N. E. D. S., its objects and diflBcuIties. 

 He spoke at length on the culture of the 

 dahlia, closing Ms remarks with an invi- 

 tation to the society to visit the W. W. 

 Eawson dahlia farm, of which he is su- 

 perintendent. A vote of thanks was ex- 

 tended to Mr. Fuld for his lecture and

 ever held by the society. W. T.
