The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



April 14, 1910. 



HOUSTON, TEX. 



The reports of what is being accom- 

 plished by some of the florists indicate 

 a healthy condition of the trade in this 

 city. For instance, it is stated that the 

 Robert C. Kerr Floral Co., at 2415-17 

 Travis street, is planning to double the 

 capacity of its greenhouses, because the 

 increase in trade demands the increased 

 facilities. This firm traces its origin to 

 Sherman, Tex., where, in 1885, A. W. 

 Kerr founded a business, which he sold 

 to his son, Eobert C. Kerr, five and a 

 half years ago. When the establishment 

 was started here, it included only one 

 greenhouse and covered the space of only 

 two city lots; now twelve acres are in 

 use, being largely occupied by outside 

 stock, and there is a prospect of doubling 

 the glass area soon, as aJready stated. 



Eobert Luepke, who has greenhouses 

 at 16 to 18 Spring street and a store at 

 905 Main street, is a skillful designer and 

 decorator and his work is greatly in de- 

 mand for the more important banquets 

 and other functions, including the an- 

 nual memorial receptions given by the 

 Elks. Mr. Luepke has won a number of 

 first prizes at exhibitions in this state 

 and Oklahoma. 



ORANGE, N. J, 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 New Jersey Floricultural Society was 

 held April 8. George Smith addressed 

 the society on "The Florist vs. the Gar- 

 dener." The usual floral display was 

 composed of contributions from various 

 private estates and was considerably in- 

 creased by the offer of thirteen silver 

 cups, A letter was read from Hitchings 

 & Co, making an offer of a silver cup, 

 which it was decided to offer in the dah- 

 lia section for competition next October. 



Lager & Hurrell, Summit, N. J., staged 

 one of their inimitable collections of or- 

 chids, in which cattleyas, dendrobiums, 

 miltonias and phalaenopsis figured. Most 

 noticeable was a Dendrobium nobile, 

 Ainsworth variety, with pure white flow- 

 ers and exhibited for the first time in 

 this country. 



Thomas Jones, of Summit, exhibited a 

 fine vase of wallflowers. 



The judges for the evening were John 

 Hayes and Edward Eccles.
