The Weekly Florists* Review. 



June 18, 1908. 



MILWAUKEE has a reputation as being a cool city'(l°a7tLmy7t?8°sI.pS^^^^^^^ due 

 to the cool winds from Lake Michigan. This cool temperature keeps our Car- 

 nations and other stock in fine shape long after stock from other cities is poor. 

 Just now our Carnations are fine, "^ry them.

Trench and German dahlia growers. An 

 ■entry fee is charged in most of the 

 classes and only members of the New 

 England Dahlia Society will be allowed 

 to compete for cash prizes. 



An exhibition of roses and strawberries 

 will be held at Horticultural hall June 

 20 and 21. A splendid show is expected. 



The njany friends of Robert M. Grey, 

 formerly of North Easton and for the 

 last five years located at Cienfuegos, 

 Santa Clara Province, Cuba, were pleased 

 to see him on a visit last week. Mr. Grey 

 likes his new field of labor. He is spe- 

 cially interested in raising improved 

 seedlings of sugar cane and is doing 

 much experimental work for Harvard 

 College. ^ 



As the board of aldermen of the Bos- 

 ton city council have failed to endorse 

 Mayor Hibbard's recommendations for 

 an amalgamation of the park department 

 and that of public grounds, we will be 

 compelled to witness a little longer the 

 woeful mismanagement of the latter de- 

 partment. When it is removed fi:om the 

 arena of municipal politics and ceases to 

 be a convenient recreation ground for 

 needy aldermanic supporters, then and 

 not till then will it emerge from the rut 

 it now occupies. 



A number of carnation growers are 

 now throwing out their stock and will 

 start replanting with field plants early 

 in July. In spite of the dry weather, 

 stock in the fields is doing well. 



Waban Conservatories are handling 

 some extra fine summer roses at present, 

 the Kaiserin being specially good. 



W. N. Craig. 



The Miller Floral Co., Boston, has been 

 incorporated under the laws of Delaware, 

 with authorized capital stock of $100,000. 



B. Schneider and Miss Bertha Levine 

 were married June 7. 



The Review will send the Book of 

 Grafted Roses for 25 cents. It gives 

 full details. 



We think the Review is beyond com- 

 parison with any other. — G. H. Hanej:le, 

 Bell Mawr, N. J. 



It is putting it mildly to say the Re- 

 view is the most helpful and most in- 

 structive paper I have ever read. When 

 one copy is read I can hardly wait for 

 another. — John Spencer, Decatur, Tex.
