The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Jdnb 18, 1908. 



SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. 



One of the most enjoyable meetings of 

 the Springfield Florists' Club was that 

 held on the evening of June 8, at the 

 spacious and homelike suburban resi- 

 dence of our veteran floral nurseryman 

 and botanical authority, Thomas Mc- 

 Beth. 



After the usual business session, two 

 well rendered readings were given by 

 Miss Dora Kreis, and a song by Harry 

 D. Brydon, the recently acquired son-in- 

 law of Mr. and Mrs. McBeth. 



The host then invited the members and 

 guests to the ample dining rooms, where 

 tables had been spread and beautifully 

 adorned with candles, as well as peonies, 

 weigelias, deutzias and similar products 

 of nature's handicraft, assisted by the 

 skill of Mr. McBeth, who is said to be 

 able to make anything grow which he 

 puts into the soil. 



A splendid three-course supper was 

 then served by the -hostess and daugh- 

 ters, the menu including exceptionally 

 luscious strawberries, which were grown 

 on the place and seemed to have attained 

 to the height of perfection for this 

 event. 



The feast having been disposed of to 

 the refreshment of all present. President 

 George H. Mellen opened the oratory 

 with a review of the two years ' existence 

 and work of the club and the advantages 

 of holding a membership in the organi- 

 zation, as well as the great benefit of the 

 club to the community at large. 



Judge Francis M. Hagan was then in- 

 troduced as toastmaster, and presided in 

 his customarily interesting manner, the 

 judge being a leading attorney and 

 prominent in local literary circles and 

 politics. 



Judge "Walter L. Weaver spoke enter- 

 tainingly on the theme, "The Front 

 Yard." 



District Superintendent Du Bois, of 

 the Methodist church, ably responded to 

 the toast, "The Back Yard." 



"The Peony Farm" was assigned as 

 a subject for John M. Good, but he 

 soon drifted to a discussion of civic im- 

 provement, which is now uppermost in 

 his mind, and in behalf of which he is 

 accomplishing great things for the pres- 

 ent and future good of the city. 



Eoger Murphy, ex-postmaster of Ur- 

 bana, O., followed along the same line, 

 and concluded by suggesting that the 

 florists having any surplus stock at the 

 end of the season might well donate it 

 to the poor, thus utilizing what would 

 otherwise be a waste product, bringing 

 cheer to the unfortunate, and at the 

 same time adding to the general beauty 

 of the city. 



In addition to the related guests and 

 the speakers, James F. Dick, superin- 

 tendent of our beautiful Ferncliff ceme- 

 tery, was present. 



Ge Dale. 



Waltham, Mass. — F. A. Greenlaw 

 disappeared from his place of business, 

 on Piety Corner, June 1, and has not 

 been heard from since. As a result of 

 his prolonged absence, the business is 

 in the hands of James T. Silman, as 

 keeper, in behalf of a creditor. Mr. 

 Greenlaw came here from a neighboring 

 town about a year ago and leased the 

 Kidder greenhouses from the owner, E. 

 P. Smith. Though an expert florist, he 

 did not seem to be very successful, and 

 it is considered probable that he became 

 discouraged and decided to abandon the 

 field.
