The Fbrists' Review 



Januabt 2, 1913. 



ROOHESTEE, N. Y. 



Various Notes. 



At the December meeting of the Flo- 

 rists' Association Fred C. W. Brown, 

 of Buffalo, gave an interesting and in- 

 structive talk on the principles of de- 

 sign. The lecture was illustrated by 

 stereopticon slides made by himself. 

 Mr. Brown emphasized the necessity 

 for simplicity in design. The tendency, 

 he said, was to overdecorate. George 

 Hart gave the association a report of a 

 visit to some of the eastern markets. 



The James Vick's Sons greenhouses 

 at Barnard, N. Y., formerly the Vick 

 & Hill place, were well supplied with 

 stock for the Christmas trade. The 25,- 

 000 feet are devoted almost entirely to 

 the growing, of ferns, palms, bedding 

 stock and perennials. They have, how- 

 ever, about 3,000 feet in carnations and 

 a propagating house containing 4,000 

 feet. From the stock of Boston, Whit- 

 mani and Scottii they are expecting to 

 get about 30,000 small ferns. They 

 have 3,500 feet in kentias, 1 to 4 years 

 old, that deserve mention. Besides 

 the greenhouses, there are thirty-five 

 acres of land well adapted to the rais- 

 ing of bulbs and perennials. The place 

 IS managed by Fred W. Vick and the 

 propagating work is in the hands of 

 Thomas Ewart. 



Mr. and Mrs. Hiram E. Wilson have 

 gone to Winter Haven, Jacksonville, 

 Fla., and expect to spend the winter 

 there. 



Schuyler Arnold. 



Tampa, Fla.— Mrs. M. M. Himes is 

 carrying on a retail business in plants 

 and flowers at 801 Delaware avenue. 

 She grows her own stock. 



Milford, Mass.— W. D. Howard's 

 new greenhouse, in South Milford, is 

 complete. It is his sixth and will be 

 planted with chrysanthemums for next 

 season. 



Jacksonville, Fla.— In a suit for $10,- 

 000 damages brought by A. Wansker 

 against Mills The Florist, the jury re- 

 turned a verdict for defendant, thus 

 ending a trial-that lasted for two days 

 in the circuit court. The suit was 

 brought for alleged personal' injuries 

 sustained in June, 1911, when defend- 

 ant's automobile collided with plain- 

 tiff's wagon.
