The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



Mabch 11, 1909. 



WORCESTER, MASS. 



The first exhibition of the season of 

 the "Worcester County Horticultural Soci- 

 ety was in Horticultural hall March 2. 

 It was interesting to growers and was 

 largely attended. 



Mrs. Thomas Pollard displayed a merry 

 widow hat, made of moss and berries and 

 trimmed with pink carnations. 



Herman F. A. Lange had some splendid 

 tulips and Baby Dorothy ramblers. The 

 schizanthus exhibited by Edward W. 

 Breed was much admired. Leonard C. 

 Midgley showed some fine roses and car- 

 nations and George MacWilliams, gar- 

 dener for Marston Whitin, entered some 

 fine orchids. 



•Edward W, Breed showed cineraria, 

 and cyclamen were entered by H. F. A. 

 Lange and Mr. Breed, both of whom 

 showed four plants. Lange showed Be- 

 gonia Gloire de Lorraine, and Mr. Breed 

 and Mr. Lange entered azaleas, three 

 plants each. Mrs. J. C. Whitin and G. 

 Marston "Whitin showed orchids. Carna- 

 tions grown by B.. A. Cook, H. F. A. 

 Lange, L. C. Midgley and Mrs. J. C. 

 Whitin were shown, while the hyacinths 

 exhibited were from Lange 's and Breed 's 

 greenhouses. 



Primula Sinensis were shown by Breed 

 and Lange, and primula, any other vari- 

 ety, were also from their greenhouses. 

 The rose display by Lange was particu- 

 larly pleasing, Queen Beatrice, Bride and 

 Bridesmaid, Eichmond, Mrs. Jardine, Kil- 

 lamey and Mme. Chatenay roses being 

 shown. 



The premiums were distributed pretty 

 evenly among the above exhibitors. 



AMHERST, MASS. 



Massachusetts Agricultural College.

 culture and market gardening, and the 

 new range of greenhouses, will be dedi-

 will be followed by an exhibit of flow- 

 ers. One of the principal speakers will 

 be J. K. M. L. Farquhar, of Boston, 

 whose subject will be, "What the Green- 

 house Has Done for Horticulture. ' ' 



Kenosha, Wis. — Z. G. Simmons, for 

 whom J. H. Wilcott is gardener, has de- 

 cided not to add to his glass this sea- 

 son, but next spring will build two iron- 

 frame greenhouses.

Here Ib a strikingr comparison 

 between the size of a wood post 

 and our wrought iron. 



And here you see the angle pur- 

 lin used in our iron frame house 

 in comparison with tta« old-fash- 

 ioned wood purlin. 



The Good Sense of It 



ran HEN you buy a greenhouee, constantly keep in naind 

 MAM ^^^^ strength and durability do not always go together. 

 ■™^ Take, for instance, a 5-inch wooden post ; it is plenty 

 strong to start with, but it doesn't stay strong; while our 

 Guaranteed Wrought Iron Post is less than a third the size, 

 and keeps on being just as strong for years and years. In 

 fact, it has stood an actual test of a quarter century. Wood 

 posts actually cost more, because you have to use twice as 

 many and dig twice the holes. And think of the difference 

 in shade. By the same good sense compare the wood and 

 angle purlin. 



The matter simmers down to two things : Our Semi-iron 

 bouse is actually the cheapest house you can afford to buy, 

 and our Sectional Iron Frame is the best investment. Both 

 are constructed on the lines of greatest endurance and 

 greatest lightnees— for the money.
