The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



August 19, 1909. 



BAR HARBOR, ME. 



The judges for the Mount Desert 

 flower show, to be held in the Building of 

 Arts, August 14 and 15, are as follows: 

 W. N. Craig, head gardener on the Ames 

 estate, North Easton, Mass. ; Kenneth 

 Finlayson, of the Boston park commis- 

 sion; Mr. Pettigrew, head of the Boston 

 park commission; T. D. Hatfield, of the 

 Hunnewell estate, Wellesley, Mass.; Dun- 

 can Finlayson, of the Lars Anderson es- 

 tate, Brookline, Mass.; Mr. Cameron, 

 superintendent of the Harvard Arbore- 

 tum; Joseph Clark, Sr., of Manchester, 

 Mass.; Joseph Clark, Jr., of the John 

 Thayer estate, Lancaster, Mass.; and 

 Mr. Meredith, of the Bayard Thayer es- 

 tate, Lancaster, Mass. 



Preparations for the show were begun 

 at the Building of Arts Friday, July 30. 

 The show this year will be larger than 

 ever before, and the overflow exhibits 

 will be staged in a tent, erected near the 

 building. 



An admission will be charged during 

 the first day of the show, but the follow- 

 ing day, Sunday, the exhibit will be free 

 to all. 



WELL FURNISHED CROTONS. 



It is an important point in connection 

 with the cultivation of crotons that all 

 basal leaves be sound, of normal length, 

 not seared and stumpy, and of rich color. 

 All experienced cultivators of crotons 

 know well the value of such examples. In 

 order to obtain these good features, Eng- 

 lish gardeners arrange the plants on 

 empty inverted flower pots on the front 

 or central stage, or on shelves. Each one 

 must be clear of its neighbor, so that 

 light and the sun rays can reach all 

 leaves. One well versed grower says he 

 does not hesitate to syringe the plants 

 early in the afternoon when the sun is 

 shining on them if it be necessary to do 

 so. A high ' temperature is maintained, 

 and a moist atmosphere. Careful water- 

 ing is essential to success. In lean-to 

 structures the plants must be turned 

 half-way round once every week. So 

 treated, nice specimens will be available 

 for table use later on. 



Paola, Kan. — Mrs. W. Z. Garman is 

 building a 40-foot addition to her green- 

 houses, on East Miami street, and is in- 

 stalling a hot water heating system. 



Lenox, Mass. — The James Clifford Co. 

 has just secured the contract for the 

 fouDdations of a greenhouse 25x125 on 

 the S. W. Woodward property at Eden 

 Hill, in Stockbridge. Lord & Burnham 

 Co. will build the structure.

What arc you looking for? 



JuBt a greenbonae that "answers the purpose" or one that more than 

 answers it? Do yon want a hoase that will produce more blooms through 

 December, January and February than any other hbuse constructed any 

 other wa^ ? Then buy a U-Bar. It is the lightest house built— and if it is 

 lightest, It is most productive. It is a house with every possible decay 

 point fully protected.
