VIOLETS 



Don't think that because we are unquestionably 

 handling the shipments of more Violet growers 

 than any other house in the west, that we can't 

 take care of your other orders. Quite the contrary 

 — plenty of 



Carnations, Roses, Bulb Stock, Sweet 

 Peas, and all Greens 



Let us have your ENTIRE order.

Among the private gardeners who ex- 

 hibited were: Mr. Jenkinson, gardener 

 for Mr. Peacock; Charles Madson, gar- 

 dener for R. H» Boggs; James Hutchin- 

 son, gardener for Dr. Schaflfer, and H. L. 

 Price, gardener for Mrs. J. B. Laughlin. 



"While ^;he judges, John.Murchie and 

 Walter Breitenstein, went to work, other 

 business was taken up. The private gar- 

 deners' committee presented a provisional 

 schedule for the monthly exhibitions, 

 which was laid over for future considera- 

 tion. 



The committee was notified to secure a 

 suitable meeting place, as the club has 

 outgrown the old hall. 



Mr. Smith, grower for A. Lorch, gave 



a talk on fumigating with hydrocyanic 

 acid gas. 



Mr. Murchie and Mr. Breitenstein, 

 judges, then handed in the following de- 

 cisions : 



Dark pink carnation — Albert Lorch first, with 

 Pink Lawson; F. H. Westhoff second, with 

 Aristocrat. 



Light pink — Pittsburg Rose & Carnation Co. 

 first, with Enchantress; J. L. Wyland second, 

 with Enchantress. 



White— F. H. Westhofr first, with White En- 

 chantress; S. B. Hatch second, with White 

 Perfection. 



Red— F. H. Westhoff first, with Craig; Fln- 

 leyvllle Floral Co. second, with Beacon. 



Pink — Pittsburg Rose & Carnation t'o.^rst. 

 with Wlnsor: J. L. Wyland second, with Rose- 

 pink Enchantress. 



Among private gardeners, Mr. Jenkinson, gar- 

 dener for Mr. Peacock, won first, with twenty- 

 five Enchantress; Charles Madsen, gardener for 

 R. H. Boggs, second, with twenty-five assorted 

 carnations. 



While there was a great deal of en- 

 thusiasm, all were satisfied with the de- 

 cision. 



Various Notes. 



H. L. Blind & Bros, have purchased 

 a property, 75x200 feet, fronting on 

 Centre avenue, E. E., opposite Christ 



church. Here they are erecting a store 

 and a large greenhouse for decorative 

 stock and expect to be open for busi- 

 ness April 1. They will close their south 

 side store about that time, and by moving 

 out into the better residence neighbor- 

 hood they expect to make a bid for 

 more of the east end trade. The firm 

 is only five years old, but pushing rap- 

 idly to the front. 



Breitenstein & Flemm are following the 

 example of many of the other business 

 men of this city and will change their lo- 

 cation about May 1. As they have not 

 closed their new lease, they have not an- 

 nounced the location. 



The extremely cold weather has caused 

 losses to several of the florists. One 

 firm had a load of palms frozen. An- 

 other had a load and a wagon burned up, 

 the wagon catching fire from the oil stove 

 used for heating. Hoo-Hoo. 



I AM sold out of gladiolus bulbs. The 

 kittle advertisement in the Review was a 

 good investment. — Frank Klotz, Bowl- 

 ing Green, Ohio.
