The Weekly Florists^ Review* 





OCTOBBB 15, 1908. 



destroyed when the big stock barn at the 

 farm of J. A. Budlong & Son Co., in 

 Auburn, was burned to the ground 

 October 11. The barn contained, besides 

 the horses, more than 150 tons of hay 

 and several carloads of grain. The firm 

 is an extensive grower of roses and car- 

 nations as well as produce. They are 

 cutting some unusually fine Eichmond 

 and Killarney for the Boston market. 



Frank L. Budlong, of Auburn, has 

 gone to California on a business trip. 



The street faker made his appearance 

 last week, with soft Brides and Brides- 

 maids. 



A. D. lorio has been granted permis- 

 sion by the Inspector of Buildings of 

 this city to build an addition to his 

 greenhouse at 149 Unit street; also to 

 erect a storehouse in the rear. 



A, Van Leeuwen, Sr., of the Flora and 

 Pomona Nurseries, Crook's corner, Woon- 

 socket, is already heavily booked for 

 spring work in setting shrubs, vines and 

 landscape gardening. 



Charles F. Edgar, formerly of Phila- 

 delphia, is now with S. J. Eeuter & Son, 

 of Westerly. 



At Macnair's "Sunshine Shop" there 

 was a big run on violets October 10. 



Frank J. Sullivan (Westminster Green- 

 houses) has several houses of fine 

 chrysanthemums in his range at 1205 

 Westminster street. 



Work is to be commenced in a few 

 days on extensive new greenhouses at 

 Eough Point, the handsome estate of 

 Mrs. William B. Leeds, at Newport. 



S, J. Eeuter & Son, Westerly, are ship- 

 ping many My Maryland roses to the 

 Boston market. 



William B. Hazard's window adver- 

 tisement this week is a miniature auto- 

 mobile of immortelles of red, white and 

 blue, with dolls for chauffeur and pas- 

 sengers, on the front of which is the 

 card bearing the inscription: "Hazard's 

 Prompt Delivery." 



The pastors of the two French Catholic 

 churches in this city recently announced 

 from their pulpits that they will not 

 allow caskets bearing flowers to be 

 brought into their churches. They stated 

 that they were opposed to the custom of 

 floral tributes at funerals because of the 

 disposition to overdo it. W. H. M. 



WASHINGTON. 



The Market 



Business is improving each week as 

 the season advances. A number of wed- 

 dings have been booked for the latter 

 part of Octobet, and we anticipate a 

 steady advance in demand. There is 

 plenty of good stock thus far. Eoses are 

 first-class and carnations coming better 

 each week, although there still is much 

 room for improvement. Cosmos never 

 was better. Lady Lenox is perfect; im- 

 mense flowers and fine color. Chrysanthe- 

 mums are now plentiful, especially the 

 early whites. Dahlias are still coming 

 in, for this section has not yet had kill- 

 ing frosts. 



Club Meeting. 



The Florists' Club met at the home of 

 Adolphus Gude in Anacostia October 6. 

 Almost the entire membership was pres- 

 ent. John Guttman, a grower at Congress 

 Heights; Adolph Minder, a grower on 

 Bladensburg road, and Harry Eoly, of 

 Center market, were elected to member- 

 ship. 



The flower show committee reported 

 progress and distributed tickets. The
