The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



July 22, 1909. 



BUFFALO. 



The Market 



The last week has only been a repeti- 

 tion of that condition which has prevailed 

 for some time — fairly good stock in the 

 market, but the bulk of it going to waste. 

 The long looked for rain came last week 

 in abundance, followed by cool weather. 



Various Notca^ 



The official date for the picnic has been 

 set for Wednesday, July 28. The com- 

 mittee feels safe in saying this will sur- 

 pass all affairs ever held by the club. 

 The place selected is the Bedell house, 

 where we always feel sure of good treat- 

 ment by the management. The program 

 of sports is most complete, after which a 

 fine spread awaits us at the hotel. Ad- 

 joining the hotel is the spacious dance 

 hall, where you can waltz with your 

 strawberry blonde. We hope to make 

 this the one grand event of the club year. 

 You will never have more time to spare 

 than right now, so come everybody and 

 «iiJo.y yourselves. You won't regret it, 

 but if you do, call at the box office and 

 get your money back. 



J. Wiese and Joe Streit are touring Eu-

MOUNT VERNON, IOWA. 



C. S. Meek has sold his greenhouses to 

 Alex. Co wen and his son, Adair Cowen. 

 Cowen & Son will conduct the business 

 and they expect to enlarge and improve 

 the greenhouses. Adair Cowen was at 

 one time connected with Mr. Meek in the 

 management of the business, and under- 

 stands it. 



Mr. Meek has purchased other ground 

 near his home, which is located just 

 across the street from the greenhouses, 

 and will devote his attention chiefly to 

 ■cultivating and marketing strawberry 

 plants. He will also grow vegetables and 

 a general line of fruits. 



ELMIHA, N. Y. 



The florists of this section recently 

 held an enjoyable outing at the foot of 

 Fourteenth street, Elmira Heights, on the 

 bank of Newtown creek. All the usual 

 eatables were on hand. Ball games and 

 ■quoit contests followed. Jack Dempsey 

 and Dan Carpenter officiated at both, and 

 ■every one who kicked on decisions was 

 benched, which carried a fine with it. Mr. 

 Anthony, of the U. S. Cut Flower Co., 

 acted as special officer and saw that every 

 ruling was carried out. The game re- 

 sulted in a score of o to in favor of 

 the city florists. The Heights team won 

 the quoit contest.

POMPON MUMS 



For the retail grower this class of mums often proves more profitable 



than tbe large ones. They can be used in so many ways to advantage, where 



large bloome would be out of place. We have a fine lot of young plants 



ready to bench. Grow them in sprays, 12 to 16 sprays to the plant.
