The Florists' Review 



January 16, 1913. 



George StoUery, of StoUery Bros., is 

 being asked to run for the nomination 

 for alderman in the Twenty-fifth ward. 

 It is believed by his friends that he 

 would be sure to be elected. Mr. Stol- 

 lery has lived in this ward for twenty- 

 five years, and is well known and liked, 



John Farmer, store man for Stollery 

 Bros., reports a good Christmas and 

 New Year's trad^ He, is justly proud 

 .of his window decorations, which last 

 week consisted of primroses in pots, 

 baskets and birch bark hampers. 



Word from W. J, Smyth is to the 

 effect that he is progressing as well 

 as could be expected, but that it will 

 be some time before I^u is able to leave 

 the hospital. 



Peter Eeinberg has received many 

 congratulations this week on his elec- 

 tion to the presidency of the school 

 board. 



John Zech, of Zech & Mann, says 

 there is no kick on the way business 

 has been since Christmas and he feels 

 that the year has at least made a good 

 start. 



' Carl R. Carlson, 71 years old, a city 

 park gardener, living at 7140 Ingle- 

 aide avenue, died at his home January 

 i3. He had been ill for several weeks. 



Speaking of the retail business, C. 

 -A. Samuelson says that trade has been 

 fso rushing since the middle of Decem- 

 iber that he was unable to get down to 

 the market until January 14. 



Sidney Buchbinder, manager of the 

 gales department for Buchbinder Bros., 

 has a force busy sending out the firm's 

 new florists' refrigerator catalogue. 

 He asserts that the demands for figures 

 on new ice-boxes since the holidays in- 

 dicates that the Christmas trade was a 

 record-breaking one the country over. 

 "Everyone seems to be in the buying 

 habit." 



January 14 was the date for the 

 annual meeting of the Horticultural 

 Society of Chicago, but there was no 

 quorum. Secretary Haight was out of 

 town. 



Visitors: W. F. Kasting, Buffalo, in 

 connection with the affairs of the 

 United Fertilizer Co.; Jas. Cole and his 

 grower, Peoria, 111.; Henry Kusik, A. 

 Elberfield and Mrs. Elberfield, Kansas 

 City; Frank Miller and a vegetable 

 prrowing neighbor, Columbus, O. 



OEENWICH, CONN. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Westchester and Fairfield Horticultural 

 Society was held in Doran's hall, Jan- 

 uary 10, with President Robert William- 

 son in the chair. Judging by the num- 

 ber of members present and the excel- 

 lent financial standing of the society, 

 we are justified in looking forward to 

 a prosperous year. 



A noticeable feature of the meeting 

 was the large number of splendid ex- 

 hibits, which received the opinion of 

 the judges as follows: 



Geo. E. Baldwin Co.. special mention for a 

 well crown plant of white Cattleya Trlanae and 

 a cultural certificate for a well grown collection 

 of Cattleya Trianse of good types. 



Robert WiUlainson, cultural certificate for the 

 now seldom seen Plumbago cocclnea. honorable 

 mention for specimen Begonia Gloire de Lorraine 

 and TOte of thanks for plants of Primula mala- 



James Atchison, honorable mention for well 

 crown plants of Primula malacoides. 



James Stuart, honorable mention for well 

 flowered spikes of Calanthe Veltchil and Euphor- 

 bia lacqnlnlseflora. , ^ ^ ,. 



p w Popp. highly commended for a yellow 

 snort of' Carnation Mrs. C. W. Ward, which the 

 ■o^etT would like to see more of In the future. 



Bolirt Allen, vote of thauka for two jasea 

 of Carnation William Smith and a Tote of thanks 

 (or Primula malacoldea.

What More Should You Expect? 



The following is from a communication receivadi from Massrs. Valentin 

 Burgevin's Sons, Kingston, N.Y., January 8, 1913: — 



"We wish to say that we find the VERMINE an excellent 

 thing. We used it on a hench planted with Smilax to kill 

 root lioe, or maggote, which ate the rootti. and after two 

 applications our Mmllax is taking on new life and has started 

 oft to grow." 



The following from Messrs. Newman & Legg, of Manasquan, N. J., 



January 4, 1913: — 



"This fall we had occasion to try your FUNGINE on a 

 large house of bweet Peas. They were so badly affected with 

 mildew that we were going to throw them out -meaning a 

 total loss of the crop. 



"We had tried sulphur and all the usual mildew remedies 

 without beinsr able to control it. A caller asked us If we had 

 tried FUNGINE, saying that he had heard that it was good 

 for mildew, ^e gave them one good syringing wiih FUN- 

 GINE, with the result that in forty-eight hours there was 

 not a particle of live mildew in the house."
