FALL BIVEB, MASS. 



A'cording to the local newspapers, 

 ^li' Horjsts of this city have lately been 

 ^'I'uiged in a conflict with the park 

 c<MM mission, on account of a certain 

 ipi'iire in the commission's nianage- 

 ""■ t of the cemeteries. In spite of the 

 flfii sts' protests, the commission per- 

 ^''^'^ in the practice, only recently in- 

 'I' iuced here, of filling and caring for 

 ("ci! (tery vases belonging to owners of 

 '*"^ not provided for from perpetual 

 ^aiv funds. The florists, having failed 

 to -('eure satisfaction by their own ef- 

 *'^"^. have called upon the mayor to 

 ^^-^i^^t them. If this effort fails, they 

 l"'"|'ose to go to the courts in an action 

 ^S'iinst the commission for alleged il- 

 Pti'il interference and compvnition with 



th 



''in in their business. 



'•"e of the special grievances against 



I"*' «"mmission is that it is attempting 



" win patronage by offering to keep 



f"' plants watered, while the vases not 



"""'d by the department are not 



U'rod 



wa- 



A committee of the florists appeared 



before the commission. In answer to the 

 complaints, the commissioners declared 

 that they have the right to increase the 

 revenues of the cemeteries in every way 

 possible and that the filling of vases is 

 one of the ways adopted. Then the 

 florists took their case before the mayoV. 

 He informed them that the commission 

 had full authority to do as it saw fit 

 in the matter, but agreed to do what he 

 could to adjust the trouble. 



SPBINOFIELD, OHIO. 



At the June meeting of the Spring- 

 field Florists' Club the members le- 

 ported stock practically sold out, all 

 having enjoyed an unprecedented de- 

 mand for all lines of stock. The quan- 

 tity of roses unsold will be just about 

 sufficient to cover the fall sales of the 

 retail catalogue houses. 



Frank M. Day, local freight agent 

 of the Erie railway, and S. M. Wilcox, 

 import freight representative of this 

 line, located at New York city, ap- 

 peared before the club with a view to 

 securing joint action of the several 

 local houses accustomed to make large 

 annual purchases from Holland, so that 

 uniform and minimum charges might 

 be secured and prompt transportation 

 and clearances arranged for. The pros- 

 pect seemed to be that the line men- 

 ♦^"ued would secure this business, hav- 



ing handled it in a quite satisfactory 

 manner last season and having prom- 

 ised several improvements in the 

 service. 



The Saturday afternoon holiday went 

 into effect with the beginning of this 

 month. 



B. C. Blake recently added a house, 

 10x65, to his plant and has become the 

 local Rex begonia specialist, having be- 

 tween forty and fifty varieties, which 

 he is constantly propagating and ship- 

 ping to all parts of the country. 



A fourth house, 30x300, of Dietsch 

 construction, is now being erected by 

 the Leedle Rosary, in which smilax, 

 asparagus and carnations will be 

 grown as companion sellers to their 

 line of roses, to which the American 

 Beauty has been added. To provide 

 for future enlargements, two and three- 

 quarter acres of adjoining land were re- 

 cently purchased from the parent con- 

 cern, the Leedle Floral Co. 



The local craft is pleased to note the 

 complete registration of Nephrolepis 

 Roosevelt by the American Rose & 

 Plant Co. This is a new sport from the 

 Boston fern. Its distinguishing fea- 

 tures are the broad and uniform fronds 

 and decidedly crinkly leaves, all of 

 which combine to give a symmetrical 

 and stately appearance to each speci- 

 men.
