The Weekly Florists' Review* 



August 27, 1908. 



PEORIAtlLL. 



Current Comment 



The weather here has been somewhat 

 <iooler the last few days, but a heavy 

 rain is much needed. Corn crops are suf- 

 fering and the country people are be- 

 coming alarmed. 



There is but little doing among the 

 cut flower firms throughout the city. 

 Chas. Loveridge says business among the 

 retail cut flower stores is dull. 



J. E. Hack, salesman for D. U. Aug- 

 spurger & Sons, returned home this week 

 from a seven weeks' trip through Iowa 

 and Nebraska. 



D. U. Augspurger & Sons received a 

 large shipment of poinsettias last week. 

 Mr. Lomuel has secured a position with 

 this firm. 



J. C. Murray disposed of a lot of be- 

 gonias and ferns to a local wholesale* 

 firm. 



Mr. Kuhl, of Pekin, 111., was a Peoria 

 visitor Friday. He purchased a quantity 

 of palms and boxwood trees from a local 

 wholesale firm. 



Mr. Hastings, representing A. H. 

 Hews & Co., of Cambridge, Mass., called 

 on the local florists last week.

LENOX, MASS. 



The last semiannual exhibition of the 

 Lenox Horticultural Society was held in 

 the Town hall in the afternoon and even- 

 ing of August 12. In most classes the 

 show was of a high standard. In the 

 classes for sweet peas, however, there 

 was a rather low rating, due to the hot 

 weather and electric storms of the pre- 

 ceding few weeks. 



One of the most noteworthy exhibits 

 of' flowers was from the gardens of Mrs. 

 Edith Wharton, the novelist, at the 

 Mount. In her old-fashioned flower gar- 

 den near Laurel lake she has been for 

 vears cultivating beautiful blossoms. 



John Lewis Childs, of Floral Park, 

 L. I., made an exhibition of fifty vari- 

 eties of gladioli, which had been sent to 

 Lenox for exhibition only. The varieties, 

 America, Contrast, Sulphur King, Alaska 

 and Blue Jay, received special commen- 

 dation and a diploma was given to Mr. 

 Childs for his display. 



NOEFOLK, Va. — E. J. Newton will 

 build an additional greenhouse, at an 

 estimated cost of $1,000. 



Mount Pleasant, Ia. — D. H. Smouse 

 has nearly completed a new greenhouse, 

 14x72, and expects to build another of 

 the same dimensions. He says that busi- 

 ness at present is somewhat slow, but 

 the prospect is good for fall and winter 

 trade.

 more easily removed without breaking 

 of other glass as occurs with hard patty.
