The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



September 10, 1808. 



aster outdoors, as the gardeners raise so 

 many of them each year, and sell them 

 so cheaply, that it pays the florist better 

 to put in his time and use his ground 

 for some other proposition. The weather 

 continues hot and dry. 



Varioui Notes. 



The Montgomery County Fair opened 

 September 7 and among those of our 

 florists who are showing fine exhibits 

 of palms, ferns, plants and cut flowers 

 are Herman H. Eitter, the Dayton Floral 

 Co, and the Advance Floral Co. 



D. Rusconi, of Cincinnati, was a vis- 

 itor in Dayton September 5. 



Mr. and Mrs. M. Cook and daughter, 

 Mabel, who have been the guests of Mrs. 

 Bertha Hendrichs since the S. A. F. con- 

 vention, left September 7 for Cincinnati, 

 where they will spend a day or two and 

 then return to their home in New Or- 

 leans. E. A. B. 



VASHINGTON. 



' State of Business. 



Business has improved since the begin- 

 ning of September and last Saturday and 

 Sunday found some of the retail stores 

 quite busy. The funeral of Mr. Sargent, 

 of the immigration office, called for a 

 nur.ber of large designs, for all the. rail- 

 road brotherhoods were represented by 

 handsome pieces. Asters are in large 

 supply and of good qualily. They are 

 selling well because carnations are still 

 scarce. Eoses are as yet only of summer 

 quality. 



Qub Meetinsf. 



The last meeting of the Florists' Club, 

 at which Mr. Schmidt was host, was a 

 howling success. It was the largest meet- 

 ing the club has held. The next meeting 

 will be in the potting shed at the green- 

 houses of the Gude Bros>-^., with A. 

 Gude as host. 



Mr. Gude has been gathering subscri^ 

 tions for the William Scott memorial 

 fund and thus far has secured $35. 



O. A. C. Oehmler has returned from a 

 trip to Pittsburg and Toledo. O. 0. 



ORANGE. N. J. 



The first monthly meeting, after the 

 summer recess, of the New Jersey Flori- 

 cultural Society was held September 4. 



Lager & Hurrell, of Summit, displayed 

 a collection of hybrid orchids, consisting 

 of cattleyas, Ia?lias, lycastes, vandas and 

 maxillarias. Thomas Jones, of Short 

 Hills, showed cattleyas and oncidiums. 

 A vase of asters of Weeber & Don's 

 ' ' Best ' ' strain was exhibited by Thomas 

 A. Edison, Frank Drews gardener. There 

 were various seasonable flowers from the 

 neighboring estates. A hnUj^Hi exhibi- 

 tion of flowering shrubs was the attrac- 

 tion of the evening. J. B. Davis. 



EVANSVILLE, IND. 



The Market. 



During August the usual dullness in 

 our business was much in evidence, with 

 the exception of quite a number of fu- 

 nerals, which caused a little activity 

 among the retailers. "With the home- 

 coming of the society folks we expect 

 better business. The nights are getting 

 cooler, so roses and carnations are im- 

 proving.
