The Weekly Florists' Review* 



July 21, 1910. 



LILIUM HARRISII ^Z^, 



Our first coiisigniiieuts have just reached us, and our advance orders are all filled. In view of the fact that crop 

 is shorter than last year, we advise those who have not already ordered to lose no time doing so. Last year we were not 

 able to meet tlu- demand for our selected Hanrisii on late orders. At present we have a good 8upi)ly, and will be able to 

 take care of early onlers; but there should be no delay in ordering, as there is sure to be a scarcity of good stock, 

 especially in the large sizes. We ofter selected stock of the original true Harrisii for early forcing, grown from the 

 original true stock — splendid stock for early forcing, for which purpose Harrisii is so valuable. Our stock is not picked 

 up indiscriminat«'ly from different sources, but is grown from one stock, and will be found very superior to the ordinary 

 Harrisii usually ottered, both in regard to freedom from disease and purity, and not the late type now so often furnished.

all right, for the salesmen must stand 

 these losses. 



Henry W. Vose was one of the first 

 to ship asters in quantity to the mar- 

 ket. His produce is handled by Wil- 

 lianf F. Aylward. 



Maurice Fuld will only stay with the 

 "Wonderland Co., at Revere Beach, until 

 September 1, when he will take a re- 

 sponsible position with one of the best 

 known firms in the east. 



The coming picnic of the Gardeners' 

 and Florists' Club, July 27, at Pine 

 Banks park. Maiden, is the principal 

 topic of discussion at present. There 

 .is an unusually fine list of prizes for 

 the sporting events, which are twenty- 

 two in number. It is desired to start 

 the baseball games as soon after 10 

 o'clock as possible. Elevated cars 

 should be taken to Sullivan square, 

 where surface cars for Maiden can be 

 taken, getting off at the sporting field 

 gateway of the park. No efforts have 

 been spared by the committee to make 

 this the most successful picnic yet held, 

 and all they ask for is for a continua- 

 tion of the good weather with which 

 they have been favored for a number 

 of years. 



The rainfall with which we were fa- 

 vored July 16 was welcome. Our last 

 appreciable precipitation had been June 

 18, and with clear skies and 90 degrees 

 in the shade or over day after day, 

 crops were suffering severely. 



Every effort is being made to round 

 up a substantial delegation for the 

 Rochester convention, and at this time 

 E. A. Peirce 's efforts to secure a special 

 Pullman carload seem likely to be 

 crowned with success. Boston is bound 

 to make a good showing at the coming 

 convention, and let everyone know what 

 a magnificent show we are to have in 

 the spring of 1911. All would-be con- 

 ventionists should write to E. A. Peirce, 

 Waltham, at once and have their names 

 enrolled. The rates are low and within 

 the reach of almost every grewer. 



P. J. Van Baarda, Joseph Breck & 

 Sons' popular traveler among the pri- 

 vate trade in the east, sailed from New 

 York July 19 for a two months' Euro- 

 pean trip in the interests of his firm. 

 Mr. Van Baarda will visit many of the 

 leading cities in Great Britain and on 

 the continent before returning. His 

 many friends wish him an enjoyable 

 trip.

The Boston Sunday Herald for July 

 17 contained a well-illustrated and in- 

 teresting article on the new Chinese 

 plants at the Arnold Arboretum, Prof. 

 C. S. Sargent, E. H. Wilson and Jack- 

 son Dawson each coming in for an ex- 

 tended notice.

At the coming club picnic Duncan 

 Finlayson and Thomas Pegler will cap-

 test. Private Gardeners vs. Commercials. 

 The latter were victorious last year for 

 the first time, but indications are that 

 they will have a tough proposition to 

 do so July 27. 



The next show at Horticultural hall 

 by the Massachusetts Horticultural So 

 ciety will be one of fruits and vege- 

 tables in October. There will be no 

 Chrysanthemum exhibition, but a sched- 

 ule will soon be ready for a midwinter 

 show to precede the S. A. F. national 

 show in 1911. W. N. Craig.
