The Weekly Florists' Review. 



June 15, 1911. 



■^w^ « RICHMOND, IND. 



J. A. Evans, of the Quaker City 

 Machine Co., states that he has filed 

 suit against the Advance Co., of the 

 same city, for infringement of the pat- 

 ent covering what is known as the 

 Twentieth Century ventilator arm, 

 brought out a few years ago by the 

 Quaker City Machine Co. 



NEW ORLEANS. 



The Market. 



Flower work and decorations for 

 commencement exercises and June wed- 

 dings keep the florists busy. Though 

 the wedding decorations are not pre- 

 tentious, they are numerous enough to 

 make up for the deficiency in lavish- 

 ness. The home-grown stock of cut 

 flowers is limited to perennial phloxes, 

 pyrethrums, roses and asters. As the 

 extreme heat, both day and night, pre- 

 vented the aster plants from develop- 

 ing properly, the flowers came in ear- 

 lier, but much smaller than in other 

 years; nevertheless, they come in 

 handy. Lilium auratum and lancifoli- 

 um are seen in the show windows of 

 several florists and help a great deal to 

 break the monotony of the display, as 

 well as the arrangement of flower work. 



The big stock of all kinds of foliage 

 plants carried by our local florists is 

 in a fine condition, strong and clean 

 grown. The different fern varieties are 

 doing well and the heat had no bad 

 effect on them. Several retail florists 

 who have stores in connection with 

 their nurseries are starting to grow 

 orchids, especially cattleyas. They 

 found out the attractiveness of grow- 

 ing plants in bloom when used in store 

 decorations, besides the advantages of 

 having fresh cut flowers of this kind 

 on hand in case of immediate neces- 

 sity. 



Several florists intend to renovate 

 their older greenhouses and some new 

 ones will be erected during the sum- 

 mer; yet the building activity is not 

 especially strong. 



Peonies, carnations and roses are still 

 coming in from the northern markets, 

 especially Chicago. 



Various Notes. 



Charles W. Ward, of the Cottage 

 Gardens, Long Island, at present of 

 Avery Island, La., entertained about 

 twenty-five local florists, mostly mem- 

 bers of the New Orleans Horticultural 

 Society, on Sunday afternoon, May 28, 

 on his beautiful yacht, Ethel M. Ward. 

 The trip, starting at West End, took 

 its course over Lake Pontchartrain to 

 Mandeville and up the picturesque 

 Tchefuncta river. All kinds of re- 

 freshments were served in abundance. 

 Everyone enjoyed the novel treat im- 

 mensely and lauded the generous hos- 

 pitality of their colleague. It was late 

 in the evening when the final landing 

 at the starting point was made. Mr. 

 Ward intends to make Louisiana his 

 permanent home and, being an enthu- 

 siastic lover of nature, he donated to 

 the state a tract of 17,000 acres in 

 Vermilion parish for a game preserve. 

 This is a fine addition to the already 

 large game preserves controlled by the 

 state. 



On visiting the nursery of M. Cook's 

 Sons, now under the management of 

 Henry Cook, the writer noticed a large, 

 finely grown stock of Olea fragrans, or 

 Bweet olives, and Magnolia fuscata.
