The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



.Januarv 20, 1910. 



MADISON. N. J. 



The annua] smoker of the Morris 

 County Gardeners' and Florists' Society 

 Avas held Wednesday, January 12, and 

 was voted by all present the greatest 

 kind of a success. 



A short business meeting was held be- 

 fore the festivities began, during which 

 the treasurer announced a balance on the 

 right .side of the ledger of upwards of 

 $700, witli all of the accounts for the 

 year paid up and disposed of. It was 

 also announced, amid cheers, that the 

 Chrysanthemum Society would hold its 

 meeting for this year in conjunction with 

 the Morris County Society, and that the 

 work was already commenced on the pre- 

 liminary schedule, which will give some 

 $2,000 in cash prizes, outside of the spe- 

 cial classes, which are always a feature 

 of the C. S. A. exhibitions. It is pro- 

 posed to so divide up the schedule that 

 members of other societies will have a 

 chance to compete in special classes open 

 only to their own members, with sweep- 

 stakes covering the best of the exhittits 

 as a whole. The Morris County Society 

 does not propose to hedge its prizes 

 around witli any restrictions to make 

 them easier to be won by their own 

 members tliau by other growers. The 

 policy of tills club has been that of the 

 open door, and the farther it is opened 

 the better. 



After the business session had been 

 disposed of the entertainment of the 

 evening began, .Toe Burke, the noted 

 impersonator of Harry Lauder, and sev- 

 eral other professional gentlemen in the 

 vaudeville line being the chief entertain- 

 ers. Totty 's famous punch, which now is 

 known almost all over the country, was 

 in great demand. After a few glasses 

 of this Balm of Gilead, the grower for- 

 got his diminished coal pile and such 

 troubles and surrendered himself to the 

 enjoyment of the evening. Homemade 

 turkey sandwiches and celery w^ere also 

 greatly appreciated. 



There were about 120 present, includ- 

 ing representatives from the New Jersey 

 Floricultural Society, the Monmouth 

 County Society, the Bernardsville Society 

 and representatives from the seed houses 

 and the trade press. 



The entertainment broke up at mid- 

 night with the singing of Auld Lang 

 Syne, and the twelfth smoker, which was 

 voted the best ever by every one present, 

 passed into history. The committee, who 

 deserve great praise for their efforts, 

 were Messrs. Herrington, Duckham, Totty 

 and Schultz.

Nephrolepis Elegantissima Compacta 



Another New^ Fern OrierlnatlnK veltli us Introduced faU 1909 



Of all the valuable introductions in ferns that we have sent out, begrinniuK with tbe Pierson 

 (Nephrolepis Piersoni). we uonsider tbe EleKantlsslma compacta tbe most valuable of 

 all, bartlcalarly from a commercial standpoint. 



While this resembles BleKaniissima in a general way, it is far superior to that variety, on 

 account of its perfect habit. Tetitcan bardlv b« compared with Elegantissima in a general 

 way, because it occupies a place by itself and is as distinct from Elegantissima as that variety 

 is from Piersoni— in fact, it bears the same relation to Elegantissima that Scottii does to 

 Bostoniensis. Elegantitslma compacta has an ideal habit. The fronds are considerably 

 shorter than those of Elegantissima, and it is a more compact plant. It throws a great many 

 more crowns naturally, making a very bushy, dwarf, compact plant. The difference between 

 tbe two varieties may be seen at a glance. 



Pine, strong plants, 2'4-in. pots, 95.00 per doz.. 935.00 per 100; 4-iD. pots, 97.50 per dos., 

 950.00 per 100; 6-in. pans, 91.50 each: 8-in. pans, 93.00 each. 



We make a specialty of all kinds of Nephrolepis, carrying a large stock of all sizes at all 

 times— Piersoni. Elegantissima, Superbissima. Bostoniensis, Scottii, Wbitmani, Amerpohlii, etc.
