The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Septbmbiib 3, 1908. 



PEORIA, ILL. 



Peoria and vicinity have been visited 

 by several heavy showers, which were 

 much needed. 



A most enjoyable event was the fishing 

 party and banquet given by D. U. Aug- 

 spurger & Sons to their employees and 

 friends. Part of the time was spent in 

 fishing and rowing. In the evening all 

 sat down to an elaborate spread, which 

 was under the personal supervision of 

 Mr. and Mrs. H. Scherff. Those present 

 were: Mr. and Mrs. D. U. Augspurger, 

 Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Augspurger, Mr. 

 and Mrs. M. D. Augspurger, Mr. and 

 Mrs. H. C. Ruppel, Mrs. W. E. Hack, 

 A. Lomuel, James E. Hack, William 

 Wrigley, Howard Matthews, Rudolph Ja- 

 cobs, Walter Craig, Atlee and Sydney 

 Augspurger, and Misses Eleanor Gustav- 

 son, Ruth Sherwoods, Vivian Watt and 

 Adeline and Eva Augspurger. 



It is rumored that a certain Peorian 

 has purchased one and one-half acres 

 in the western part of the city and will 

 cover the property with greenhouses. 

 Nothing definite can be learned of the 

 transaction, however. H. C. R. 



NEW ORLEANS. 



On Gentilly road, in the suburbs of 

 New Orleans, are situated several large 

 growers of chrysanthemums. A. Alost, 

 at the Rose Villa Nursery, is among the 

 most important. Three houses, 20x110, 

 are planted in Robinson, in solid ueds. 

 The covering is of movable glazed 

 frames, which are put in place when the 

 buds are fairly expanded. Mr, Alost 

 grows nne flowers and is well satisfied 

 with his system of growing. Other houses 

 are filled with different stock or ready 

 to be planted in sweet peas, bulbs and 

 flowering stuff, which are the specialties 

 of the establishment. Mr. Alost believes 

 in growing what pays, and his large 

 business in cut flowers at his stand at 

 the French market calls for any quantity 

 of stuff all the year around. His field 

 roses are just now a little at rest, but 

 they will start with a new vigor some- 

 time next month. A large plot of ground, 

 which is now planted in cowpeas, to be 

 plowed under as a fertilizer, will be 

 sowed in annuals for early spring.
