The Weekly Florists' Review. 



February 11, 1909. 



Florists' Club, February 16. Exhibits 

 of new carnations from Illinois, Indiana 

 and other states will be made. An at- 

 tendance of 250 is expected. 



President William Downs, of the Gar- 

 deners' and Florists' Club, received a 

 handsome legacy under the will of his 

 late employer, Mrs. Julia E. Dumaresq, 

 who recently died in Italy. 



R. & J. Farquhar & Co. are busy per- 

 fecting plans for their model Japanese 

 garden, which will be the star feature of 

 the Massachusetts Horticultural Soci- 

 ety's spring show. They have imported 

 a lot of material from Japan and have 

 a frame of eighty sashes filled with 

 plants to be used. The price of ad- 

 mission to the coming spring show will 

 be doubled. It promises to be far the 

 most interesting exhibition Boston has 

 yet held. 



Robert Laurie, at one time head gar- 

 dener at The Breakers, Newport, R. I., 

 and more recently of Providence, R. I., 

 is now on the road for W. W. Rawson 

 & Co. 



E. A. Peirce anticipates a magnifi- 

 cent exhibition at Horticultural hall, 

 February 27 and 28, when the Park 

 Street market show is held there. En- 

 tries are coming in from all parts of New 

 England and exhibits from many other 

 states. 



L. W. Ross, late of Knollwood ceme- 

 tery, Canton, Mass., succeeds James H. 

 Morton as superintendent of Mount 

 Hope cemetery. The position has been 

 vacant about six months and there has 

 been considerable wire pulling by several 

 candidates for the post. The new su- 

 perintendent is able and thoroughly prac- 

 tical. 



William C. Rust, head gardener to Dr. 

 C. G. Weld, showed a superb scarlet 

 seedling amaryllis at Horticultural hall, 

 February 6. The bulb carried two spikes 

 with six flowers each. 



Mann Bros., of Randolph, are han- 

 dling a fine lot of amaryllis at Park 

 Street market at present. 



H. M. Robinson & Co. are having a 

 brisk call for flowers at present, and 

 their trade in greenery of all kinds is 

 first-class. 



A number of local members of the 

 craft attended the annual banquet of 

 the North Shore Horticultural Society, 

 February 10, and report an enjoyable 

 time. 



The trustees of the Massachusetts Hor- 

 ticultural Society have granted the free 

 use of the halls for the' great New 

 England fruit show, to be held in Octo- 

 ber. Lectures will be delivered daily 

 in connection with this exhibition.
