TheWeekly Florists' Review. 



JuLX 14, 1910. 



KILLARNEY 



The quality of our Killarney a widely known. The preieot supply is from plants grown specially for 

 a summer crop— there are no finer Killarneys now in market, and few so good as these. 



FANCY FERNS 



We shall again be headquarters for Asters? first cutting We want your regular orders for I^ncy Hardy Cut 



due next week, an immense supply a littk later. Ferns because we have the best in the market.

Paonlei, as good as aro to be had. Auratnm UUes, also Easter Lilies. GladloU, now arriving in quantity. Valley, always In stock.

much heavier than usual, but are now 

 on the downgrade and within a few 

 days the supply will be reduced to the 

 minimum. Dry weather has not been 

 to the advantage of the asters, the ar- 

 rival of which is now awaited with con- 

 siderable eagerness. Where the stock 

 has been watered, cutting will com- 

 mence within a few days, but it will 

 be August 1 before the deluge is in 

 sight, even if the drought has not 

 worked irreparable injury. 



There are large supplies of gladioli. 

 America and Augusta are fair sale, but 

 the common sorts of indescribable color 

 can only be sold cheaply. Auratum 

 lilies have come to take the place of 

 the callas that are gone. There con- 

 tinue to be plenty of Easter lilies. Val- 

 ley is abundant. Quite a few Golden 

 Glow mums are offered, but the supply 

 is not constant and advance orders are 

 advised if anybody really wants them. 

 Shasta daisies are plentiful, but sell 



Suite well. Coreopsis, gaillardia, fever- 

 ew and other outdoor flowers move 

 slowly. The sweet peas are nearing the 

 end of their season; few good ones now 

 are seen and there is little call for 

 them. 



The peonies will hold out at least 

 until the end of next week. The peony 

 situation this year has reminded ob- 

 servers of the family that put a barrel 

 of apples in the cellar in the fall; not 

 wishing to lose the specked ones, they 

 ate the spoiling apples first, and had 

 not got down to the good ones when 

 the bottom of the barrel was reached. 

 This may not be true of everyone who 

 stored peonies, but there are few ex- 

 ceptions; most of them have been eat- 

 ing rotten apples all season. 



There is an abundance of all green 

 stock, for the demand is light. 



Club Meeting. 



At its dinner at the Union restaurant, 

 July 7, the Chicago Florists' Club pre- 

 pared to go to the Rochester convention 

 of the S. A. F. in a special train oper- 

 ated as a second section of the Lake 

 Shore's famous Twentieth Century 

 Limited, the eighteen-hour flyer to New 

 York. The details are not complete, ex- 

 cept that E. F. Winterson, chairman of 

 the transportation committee, stated 



that the Lake Shore had been selected 

 as the official route. The special train 

 is contingent on having a party of 100 

 or more. To get this number will re- 

 quire that St. Louis, Milwaukee and 

 other cities west and north join in, De- 

 troit, Toledo, Cleveland, Buffalo and 

 others being picked up en route. The 

 president was instructed to appoint a 

 special entertainment committee to aid 

 the transportation committee. The fare 

 will be $15.38 going, $8.10 returning, 

 with $3 each way for sleeper. 



There were about forty present at the 

 dinner, which everyone enjoyed. It was 

 voted to hold a picnic Sunday, July 31, 

 a committee, consisting of A. C. Kohl- 

 brand, P. L. McKee and A. F. Longren 

 being appointed to work with the stand- 

 ing committee on good of the club, 

 which consists of Frank Pasternick, 

 John Degnan and H. Schiller. 



J, C. Vaughan and A. Lange were 

 named as a committee to act for the 

 club in an attempt to secure a payment 

 of damages by the City Railway Co. 

 for the death of Darby, who, it appears, 

 left a deaf and dumb son in need of 

 assistance. There was much general 

 discussion of flower show, bowling, con- 

 vention and other matters. Harry 

 Philpott invited everybody to the C. H. 

 A. convention at St. Catherines, August 



10. Proposals for membership were 

 three: H. C. Wendland, Elmhurst; Alex. 

 Garland, Des Plaines; H. Yepson 

 Evanston. 



No Picnic. 



The picnic committee appointed at 

 the last meeting of the Florists' Club 

 held a meeting at E. C. Amling's July 



11, at which J. P. Degnan, H. D. Schil- 

 ler, A. C. Kohlbrand and Frank Paster- 

 nick were present. After going over 

 the situation fully it was decided that 

 none of the grounds available were sat- 

 isfactory and that it would be wisest to 

 omit the picnic for this year. 



Flower Show Matters. 



Following the adjourned quarterly 

 meeting of the Horticultural Society 

 July 19, early action on the matter of 

 the usual fall show is expected. As re- 

 ported some months ago in The Review 

 the Coliseum will not be available at

APHINE MANUFACTURING GO. 



Madison, New Jeraej 



Mention The Review when you write- 



the customary date in November. It is 

 stated that the executive committee is 

 considering the First Regiment armory, 

 also the Seventh, and that they are 

 about the only places of suitable size 

 now in sight. It is not thought the 

 show will be permitted to fall through. 



Various Notes. 



George Wienhoeber says business still 

 IS good with the Fleischman Floral Co. 

 June was excellent. July, while nat- 

 urally not so good, nevertheless is fair. 



The Bassett & Washburn baseball 

 team would like to arrange dates with 

 other teams of florists. Address Joseph 

 Kohout, Hinsdale, 111. The annual 

 series of games with the team represent- 

 ing the A. F. Amling Co. is being 

 played. * 



Frank Pasternick, of the "Wienhoeber 

 force, is on a month's vacation. 



Harry Philpott, of Winnipeg, arrived 

 in town July 7 to spend a fortnight. 

 He IS on his way to St. Catherines, Ont., 

 tor the convention of the Canadian 

 Horticultural Association, of which he 

 IS president.
