The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



August 27, 1908. 



you have spread a generous bunch of 

 Killarney roses. Set this in your win- 

 dow and sprinkle liberally several times 

 and the roses will last all day. The next 

 day they can be renewed or something 

 else substituted. A wreath is always 

 decorative, just as much so for a store 

 as for a casket. 



Make a good, smooth scroll of foliage, 

 plain or painted. Decorate the center 

 with a pretty spray of rosebuds. Set 

 in the window near to where you have 

 planted a campaign torch, and you have 

 a classic Greek window. At some ap- 

 propriate and convenient time almost 

 any one of the ordinary funeral pieces 

 may be displayed inoffensively. 



Your Own Untrammeled Thought. 



So, without trying to be original and 



by carefully avoiding extremes, cut away 

 from precedent and give expression to 

 the best in your imagination. Get real 

 pleasure out of your window work. 

 There no fussy customer can limit you. 

 It is your own thought carried out. 



But only as fascination beckons you 

 on can you truly enjoy it. If you stand 

 back and view the finished product with 

 folded arms and complacent air, decid- 

 ing that this piece is a gem, perfect in 

 design and execution, it is time for you 

 to register in the kindergarten. You 

 have not yet begun to learn. But when 

 you feel that if you had the opportunity 

 to do that same window over again you 

 could remove some glaring faults and 

 add some better touches, you are on the 

 right road. Gertrude Blair.

New Canadian Officers* , 



At the closing session of the annual 

 convention of the Canadian Horticultural 

 Society, held at Niagara Falls, Ont., Au- 

 gust 20, the following oflBcers were 

 elected : 



President — E. Dale, Brampton. 



First vice-president— H. E. Philpott, 

 Winnipeg. 



Second vice-president — J. Connor, 

 Hamilton. 



Secretary — A. H. Ewing, Woodstock. 



Treasurer — H. Simmers, Toronto. 



Directors for two years, to succeed 

 Messrs. Philpott and Connor — William 

 Hopton, Montreal, and C. H. Janzen, 

 Berlin. 



Directors for three years — E. Annan- 

 dale, Toronto; E. F. Collins, Toronto, 

 and J. AValker, Montreal. 



The Trade Exhibition. 



The trade exhibition gave the S. A. F. 

 a net profit of $1,000, largely through 

 the generosity of the hotel management 

 in permitting the use of the Cataract 

 house without charge. The accommoda- 

 tions provided free have usually cost sev- 

 eral hundreds of dollars. The expense 

 of installation was considerable, espe- 

 cially the space under canyas, which cost 

 more than was received for it. 



The exhibitors in many cases did most 

 satisfactory business, but there was gen- 

 eral complaint that the outsiders were 

 so numerous as to crowd out the florists. 

 This has been provided against for future 

 conventions, but it is suggested that if 

 exhibitors have fuTther ideas as to how 

 the trades' display can be made more 

 successful they be put in writing and 

 placed in the haiids of the secretary, 

 while fresh in mind, for consideration 

 of the board of directors at the proper 

 time. It is recognized on all sides that 

 the trades' display is one of the most 

 important features of the convention. 



Judges* Report. 



The judges of the trade exhibit made a 

 supplemental report August 21, withdraw- 

 ing the awards previously made to the 

 Altimo Culture Co. for asters and George 



M. Garland for iron gutter. They over- 

 ruled the protest of J. A. Payne. 



Bowling. 



Buffalo won the national championship 

 in the big S. A. F. convention contest at 

 Buffalo August 21, by the narrow margin 

 of nve pins. Following are the scores:

G)mnuttee on Horticultural Education. 



At the request of E. V. Hallock, 

 chairman of this committee, I submit 

 the following report on behalf of the 

 committee : 



At the last annual meeting of this so- 

 ciety, held in Philadelphia, the question 

 of horticultural education in the common 

 schools was discussed at length, and as 

 a result a committee was appointed to 

 take up this work. At the Congress of
