The Florists^ Review 



Febbuaey 13, 1913. 



HOPKINSVILLE, KY. 



Thomas L. Metcalfe's liandsome new 

 building, part of which is intended for 

 the free use of the public, was dedi- 

 cated on Sunday afternoon, January 26, 

 with an appropriate program of ad- 

 dresses and music, which were greatly 

 enjoyed by the audience of nearly 

 1,000 people. The edifice is named the 

 Avalon, the "Land of the Blessed," 

 and is located at West Seventh and 

 Liberty streets. 



The audience filled every available 

 space. Eight hundred chairs placed in 

 the auditorium were soon occupied. 

 The accommodations were increased by 

 opening the folding doors of the club 

 rooms, and the gallery on the east side 

 of the main hall. The apartments were 

 elaborately decorated with potted 

 plants and cut flowers. Carnations 

 were presented to each one entering 

 the assembly hall. 



T. C. Underwood, who was chairman 

 of the exercises, on behalf of Mr. Met- 

 calfe presented the use of the Avalon 

 to the people of the community for the 

 various beneficent purposes for which 

 it was planned — a place to meet and 

 mingle, to rest, to have recreation and 

 pleasure. Mayor Meacham delivered 

 the address of acceptance, in behalf 

 of the people. 



The structure is not yet completed. 

 Except for a greenhouse that is to be 

 built at the ^ea^ of the Liberty street 

 side, it will be two stories in height. 

 The outside walls are of cream pressed 

 brick. A balcony extending the full 

 width of the sidewalk will be built 

 along the front. The front rooms are 

 to be used as display rooms for the 

 greenhouse products. The wide ver- 

 anda, which runs alongside the as- 

 sembly hall, looks directly down into 

 these display rooms. Mr. Metcalfe's 

 plans also include the building of a 

 gymnasium, which will also be free to 

 the public. 



Westerly, E, I.— C. Schultz is having 

 good success with Formosa lilies, which 

 are now coining more regular in height, 

 with a good average number of buds. 

 He is sending some heavy cuts of car- 

 nations to the Quaker City. 



Jamestown, N. D.— E. A. Williams is 

 now the proprietor of the greenhouses 

 and business of A. K. Wheeler, who 

 has gone west. Mr. Williams and Mr. 

 Wheeler formerly were in partnership, 

 doing business as the Wheeler Floral Co.
