The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Fbbbuabt 25, 1909. 



WESTERLY, H. I 



I found S. J. Reuter, of Westerly, 

 R, I., somewhat affected by the Bermuda 

 fever, owing to the tempting offers made 

 him, but, as he remarked, * ' There is far 

 more satisfaction in viewing fields of 

 healthy carnations than unhealthy lilies. ' ' 

 At the time of my call he was busy with 

 a European order for the new varieties 

 of carnations and, judging by the most 

 careful packing of a strong, well rooted 

 lot of plants, there will be no kick com- 

 ing from our fellow craftsman across the 

 pond. The new propagating house is 

 unique, the beds being a series built of 

 cement, with bricks at the bottom — no 

 chance for fungi. The size of the benches 

 is 5x10 feet and each is heated sepa- 

 'xately, so that a different temperature 

 can be given each if necessary. A path- 

 way is allowed between them and around 

 them. 



An immense range is being added here 

 for roses, chiefly My Maryland, with 

 which Mr. Reuter is enthused, and he 

 will grow as many as room can be al- 

 lowed for. It is a grand rose and des- 

 tined to surpass all its predecessors in 

 its class. Entire absence of mildew is 

 one of its chief' qualities. 



Mr. Renter's carnations arp all in solid 

 beds and, without exception, are in splen- 

 did shape. The houses are of uniform 

 height, six and one-half feet at the gutter 

 and eighteen feet at the ridge. The pat- 

 ent clamp is used on the gutter and is a 

 big success. Two varieties particularly 

 attracted my attention — Pink Pearl and 

 Ruby — both most appropriately named, 

 for they are perfect gems. Louis Reuter 

 says it keeps him hustling in the office 

 nowadays, corresponding in several lan- 

 guages, owing to the rapidly increasing 

 foreign demand for both roses and car- 

 nations. f 



Kalamazoo, Mich. — Harry A. Neuner, 

 who formerly had charge of the rose 

 houses of the Erie Floral Co., at Erie, 

 Pa., has been engaged by G. Van Bochove 

 & Bro. as foreman of their rose depart- 

 ment. 



KiTTEEY, Me. — The Kensington Flower 

 Shop has been incorporated here, for the 

 purpose of dealing in flowers, plants and 

 nursery products. The capital stock is 

 $10,000, and the officers are: President, 

 Horace Mitchell, of Kittery; treasurer, 

 S. J. Morrison, of Portsmouth, N. H. 



, Portland, Me. — The building contain- 

 ing the store of E. J. Harmon & Co., on 

 Congress street, was damaged by fire 

 early in the morning of February 15. 

 The loss in the Harmon store was caused 

 principally by smoke and water and was 

 estimated as not more than $300, mostly 

 covered by insurance.
