The Florists' Review 



JANDABT 2, 1918. 



. . .ANNOUNCEMENT.. . 



We wish to thank our many patrons for the liberal business entrusted to our care for the last ten years, during which 

 time our sales of gre«nhou8« construction material hare increased steadily ye^.r by year, nearly doubling in 1912. 



We believe we can safely say without fear of contradiction that the largest order given to any greenhouse-building 

 compuiy within the last few years was placed with us, and we can refer you with pardonable pride to the very largest as 

 well as to many of the most progressive florists, who have kept pace with the'J^mes by buying from us the most modern, 

 up-to-date productions. ,i,

A bill asking for the appropriation 

 of $30,000 for the establishment of 

 greenhouses and for the carrying on of 

 experimental work in the floricultural 

 department of the university is to be 

 introduced at the coming session of the 

 state legislature. 



Acting in the interests of the State 

 Federation of Florists* Clubs, under 

 whose auspices the experimental work 

 would be carried on at Cornell, F. B. 

 Pierson, of Tarrytown, Charles H, Vick, 

 of Bochester, and Earl A. Bates, of 

 Syracuse, met in Syracuse and incor- 

 porated the desire of the federation in 

 a bill which will be introduced in both 

 senate and assembly at Albany early in 

 the session. 



While not made a part of the general 

 appropriation bill for state support of 

 Cornell University during the coming 

 year, the passage of the bill will not 

 increase the -customary allowance, as 

 the officials of the State College of Agri- 

 culture here have cut down the annual 

 budget with the expectation that a 

 special fund will be available for flori- 

 cultural research work. 



The annual meeting of the State 

 Federation of Florists' Clubs will be 

 held in this city in conjunction with 

 the annual Farmers' Week festivities. 



Whitlnsville, Mass.— George McWil- 

 liam, gardener on George Marston 

 Whitin's estate, on Hill street, has re- 

 ceived from the Massachusetts Horti- 

 cultural Society a silver medal for a 

 new orchid, which ho has named Calan- 

 the Whitini. 



South Bend, Ind. — August F. Beyer, 

 now the head of the Beyer Floral Co., 

 in this city, was in his earlier years a 

 soldier in the German army and he re- 

 cently received one of the highest hon- 

 ors possible for a soldier in the service 

 of the Fatherland. The award, a solid 

 gold cross, was accompanied by a docu- 

 ment bearing the proclamation that Mr. 

 Beyer is so honored on account of dis- 

 tinguished services in the Austro-Ger- 

 man war of 1866. The award carries 

 with it a pension of $3 a month. It is 

 estimated that Mr. Beyer will receive 

 about $2,000 in back pay.
