The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



Septembeb 10, 1908. 



by a hard storm, which gave the florists 

 a scare. The storm lasted about two 

 hours and a half and the rainfall was 

 3.17 inches. There were three distinct 

 hail storms in that time, which broke 

 some glass for all of us. The hailstones 

 were as large as hickory nuts. 



At J. . Niednagel 's they are about 

 through rebuilding benches and replant- 

 ing. Their roses and carnations are com- 

 ing along nicely. 



Geo. Blackman says that they cannot 

 complain about business for this season 

 of the year. 



Royston & Fenton report that the 

 wholesale trade has started off nicely for 

 this month. E. L. F. 



SOUTH MANCHESTER, CONN. 



Current Comment. 



About 250 live members of the Con- 

 necticut Pomological Society attended 

 the field meeting of the society at the 

 Cheney Farm, in this place, on Wednes- 

 day, August 19. The Cheney Farm, of 

 which Thomas L. Brown is manager, 

 comprises about seventy acres of land, 

 forty-fivo acres of which are devoted to 

 growing, vegetables for market. The 

 meeting was pronounced one of the best 

 in the history of the society. The ban- 

 quet hall was beautifully decorated with 

 flowers. 



One grower, who has a general line of 

 fruits, flowers and vegetables, said that 

 land which was growing celery and 

 onions around Southport, Conn., is now 

 going into the hands of rich New York- 

 ers at $4,000 an acre. The growers seem 

 to part reluctantly with their old gar- 

 dens, but the mpney tempts them. It is 

 almost a continuous city from New York 

 to Boston. 



Seth Leslie Cheney has about finished 

 his new plant house, 10x187 feet. This 

 is a sash house, designed so that the 

 roof can be easily drawn off in spring 

 or fall. Other growers say this ia just 

 the thing, as it does away with hotbeds, 

 thereby saving great trouble and ex- 

 pense. T. L. B.
