The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



August 13, 1908. 



tection, are in perfect condition. The 

 larger part of their chrysanthemums are 

 grown under glass. One of the kinds 

 they grow outside is Silver Thimble. Mr. 

 Cook claims to be the introducer of this 

 flower, having received it in 1883, with 

 different varieties, from England. It has- 

 certainly proved to be a good acquisition 

 and should be planted more extensively. 

 It makes a fine, light bunch of flowers, 

 not being so clumpy and stiff as many 

 other sorts. The large patch he has 

 planted looks fine — better than any other 

 that I have seen this year. He has, also, 

 a new seedling of his own — Maybel, 

 which is promising. 



Mr. Cook, wife and daughter, are go- 

 ing to the Niagara Falls convention, and 

 will tour, at the same time, Canada and 

 some northern cities for over a month. 



P. Worner, of Worner Bros., has for 

 the present in his charge the establish- 

 ment of Mrs. Kehm, on St. Charles and 

 Napoleon avenues. 



The Avenue Floral Co., with R. C. 

 Eichling as manager, looks fine, with a 

 new coat of paint and its miniature park 

 in front. 



Many beds at the City park are plant- 

 ed out with such a great variety of 

 crotons as can only be grown in a 

 southern locality, such as New Orleans. 

 They attract much attention and do 

 credit to their grower, Frank Brocker, 

 the gardener. 



Joseph Steckler had his family in- 

 creased by a boy. This completes, if 

 we count right, the first half dozen.

L. A. Guilluame, the carnation grower, 

 is becoming quite a farmer as well ks 

 florist. He has a four-acre patch of 

 melons in fine shape, which promise some 

 delicious eating. Traveling representa- 

 tives coming this way, please note. 



G, Bartholme believes in early plant- 

 ing. This week he is housing his carna- 

 tions. The plants look fine, and so does 

 all his other stock. 



W. E. Day, store manager for R. R. 

 Quinlan, is spending his vacation at Red- 

 wood, on the St. Lawrence river, with his 

 family. 



Bannister Bros, are at work on the 

 walls of a new fern house, 10x100. 

 Their stock of ferns is looking fine. 



Vice-Commodore Mann, of the H. D. 

 Mann Co., is attending the races of the 

 Interlake Yacht Racing Association, on 

 Cayuga Lake, and reports fine sport and 

 interesting races. B. 



NEW CANAAN, CONN. 

 It is unusually dry weather around this 

 vicinity, damaging many plants and small 



W. E. Marshall, seedsman of New 

 York city, called on J. T. Burns, gar- 

 dener for Miss C. A. Bliss, the other day. 



The Misses Childs have had a new 

 Burnham boiler installed for their con- 

 sen'atory. 



Edmund P. Lawrence, florist for Miss 

 C. A. Bliss, is getting along nicely at his 

 new position. 



Roses, numbering about 500 plants, are 

 doing nicely at the Lindenfield green- 

 houses, Richmond and Killarney being 

 mostly grown. 



Frederick Fuhrmann, gardener to Dr. 

 J. W. McLain, was badly bruised while 

 trying to assist one of his helpers from 

 an uely bull that belongs on the estate.
