EESULTS. 



"We give them. You get them. 



We both have them. 



The man who does not give credit 

 freely enough loses business, but it is not 

 a common fault in the florists' trade. 



Not a few subscribers save themselves 

 the bother of annual renewal by sending 

 the Review $2, $3, or sometimes $5, in- 

 stead of the dollar-bill that insures fifty- 

 two visits of the paper. 



The scientific committee of the EoyaJ 

 Horticultural Society of England, at its 

 meeting August 21, and the fruit and 

 vegetabje committee of the same society 

 September 14, pronounced the Burbank 

 Wonderberry and Solanum nigrum one 

 and the same thing. 



M. Rice & Co., Philadelphia, have cele- 

 brated their twenty-fifth anniversary by 

 issuing the handsomest catalogue of their 

 quarter century in the florists' supply 

 business. A comparison of the book 

 with early editions serves to show the 

 wonderful advance in the variety and ar- 

 tistic quality that has been made in re- 

 tailers' requisites in the last few years. 



W. H. Taplin contributes an interest- 

 ing article to a recent issue of the Rural 

 New-Yorker on "Carnations as a Green- 

 house Crop." Readers of the Review 

 will recall that after spending many 

 years growing palms and ferns and be- 

 coming an authority on those plants, 

 Mr. Taplin turned his attention to car- 

 nations, taking the position of foreman 

 for Dailledouze Bros., Elatbush, N. Y. 



IT DOES THE WOBK WELL. 



There are many factors which may in- 

 fluence an advertiser part of the time, 

 but it is actual results which influence 

 him most of the time. 



I am entirely sold out of the stock advertised 

 in the Review. This was my first experience 

 In advertising and I am glad to find your paper 

 does the work. 



No reason why anyone should let sur- 

 plus stock go to waste; an advertisement 

 in the Review's classified department 

 hardly ever fails to find a ready pur- 

 chaser. 



OBITUARY. 



Andrew Ferguson. 



Andrew Ferguson, of Detroit, Mich., 

 died on Sunday, October 17, at Grace 

 hospital, in that city. He had not been 

 in the best of health for some time. He 

 was one of the charter members of the 

 Detroit Florists' Club and was well and 

 favorably known in the trade. 



CHRYSANTHEMUM SOCIETY. 



Kindly announce in the Review the 

 work of the examining committee, as 

 follows: Cincinnati, October 9, Anaka, 

 pink Japanese, scored 83 points; exhib- 

 ited by Elmer D. Smith & Co., Adrian, 

 Mich. 



Also please announce that at the meet- 



ing of the Chrysanthemum Society to be 

 held in New York, November 10, ; apera 

 will be presented by I. L. Poweli Mjj 

 brook, N. Y.; David Fraaer, Piti ^buro 

 Pa., and Edwin Jenkins, Lenox, 1 ass

CLIMBING KILLARNEY. 



About two years ago George Rei ijerg 

 of Chicago, sold quite a quanti \- of 

 Climbing Killarney through an .Iver- 

 tisement in the trade journals, an • the 

 same is being grown in this lo ality 

 (Urbana, O.), and quite a stock has been 

 worked up. Now I notice that a Jead- 

 ing eastern rose grower has register ed a 

 Climbing Killarney. Is this the ^ame 

 rose, or is our eastern friend like I'v'ary, 

 a little late to get the pole?

CHICAGO. 



The Great Central Market. 



It took several days last week for ' '- 

 business to recover from the setback ' • 

 ported last issue, but by the end of Ti e 

 week there was a radical change in i' •' 

 situation. The dark, cool weather, whi ' 

 had then been of some six days' duratio • 

 brought down the supply of stock, a' 1 

 after a time the flower buyers began !>' 

 take hold again. At the first of the wci k 

 there was little social activity and ti:e 

 demand was cut down even more sharp'y 

 than the supply, but by the end of the 

 week there was a good demand for every 

 purpose for which flowers are used. Some
