The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



OCTOBEE 14, igQg 



SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. 



Twenty-four members of the Spring- 

 field Florists' Club went via trolley line 

 to Urbana Monday evening, October 11, 

 upon invitation of Eoger H. Murphey, 

 president-elect of the club. Owing to a 

 lack of power, due to the cutting of cer- 

 tain feed wires to permit of moving a 

 house across the tracks, the car was an 

 hour late in arriving, but this only 

 served to whet the appetites of the flo- 

 rists for the bountiful repast in store for 

 them. In the spacious packing sheds at- 

 tached to the greenhouses inviting tables 

 had been spread, and no time was lost 

 in seating the guests, who were promptly 

 served by a corps of waiters headed by 

 the sons of the host. A course supper, 

 including scalloped oysters, baked beans, 

 salads, pickles, boiled ham, sandwiches, 

 ice cream, cake and coffee, was disposed 

 of with a keen relish, after Avhich cigars 

 were enjoyed. 



Lanterns were then provided, and a 

 number of inspection parties went 

 through the two ranges of houses fully 

 stocked with well advanced crops of 

 roses, which showed that R. H. Mur- 

 phey 's Sons are well prepared for the 

 anticipated heavy demand for rose plants. 



A cold storm of rain and sleet having 

 come up, the contemplated business ses- 

 sion was dispensed with and the installa- 

 tion of oflScers deferred until the Novem- 

 ber meeting, the guests deeming it advis- 

 able to make a dash for the ten o'clock 

 homeward car. Hasty congratulations 

 were extended to the host for his hospi- 

 tality, which will doubtless be more 

 formally and decorously recognized at 

 the next monthly meeting. Ge Dale. 



NEW BRITAIN, CONN. 



The prospects are bright for a good 

 business here this winter, as the factories 

 are nearly all running on full time. 



Carl Lorenzen, the Church street flo- 

 rist, has just returned from Germany, 

 where he spent several months. 



Business is booming at Clinton Street 

 Gardens & Greenhouses. They are about 

 through marketing their large tomato 

 crop and the greenhouses are now near- 

 ly all planted to carnations, which look 

 fine. B. B. V. 



Wheeling, W. Va. — Max Hess dec- 

 orated the home of Hon. J. F. Cree, at 

 Wellsburg, in preparation for the Gatch- 

 George wedding. The bride is a daugh- 

 ter of the late Senator Samuel George.

A Greenhouse Fact of Importance 



Greenhouse deeigaing and building is a basiness by itself. It is 

 no more possible for a general builder to give you a practical, 

 satifcfactory greenhouse than it is for the local blacksmith to 

 make an automobile. 



If yoa want a greenhouse designed harmoniously, artistically— 

 a house that will yield the greatest am<<unt of plants and flowers 

 with least trouble— one that is built to withstand tbe destructive 

 conditions that must exist in every greenhouse, then go to a 

 professional greenhouse builder. We are that hind of builders. 

 We build a distinctly different kind of house from any one else 

 —no one else can build it, the patent is ours. 

 It has an all steel, all galvanized frame of unusual strength but 

 extreme lightness. It is, in fartt, the lightest greenhouse built, 

 and the lighter your house, the more and better your flowers 

 will be. 



Oar catalogue tells interestingly and illustrates plainly just why 

 U'Bar greenhouses are the best houses for yoa. Let us send 

 yoa this catalogue.
