The Weekly Florists' Review* 



March 18, 1909. 



NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 



The cut flower trade has been quite 

 dull lately. A good supply of flowers 

 is now coming in. 



E. H. Chamberlain is showing some 

 nice cyclamens in pots, from Mann Bros. 

 He also has some nice azaleas. 



All the uptown florists, Peirce, on 

 Union street, Nofftz and Davenport & 

 Son, are showing attractive window dis- 

 plays. 



R. H. Woodhouse will have about 

 10,000 geraniums and other bedding 

 stock for the spring trade. He is cut- 

 ting some nice Eose-pink Enchantress. 



E. G. Davis has been shipping some 

 nice fern fronds. This is one of his 

 specialties. 



A. B. Hathaway is picking some fine 

 single violets. He has a good supply 

 of bulb stock on hand. 



Wm. Livesey has about 6,000 stocks for 

 Memorial day. 



At a meeting of the Horticultural So- 

 ciety held March 8 it was voted to urge 

 the city council to make an appropria- 

 tion for the forestry department to 

 spray the trees as a protection against 

 the various kinds of pests that threaten 

 their destruction in this city. W. L. 



TARRYTOVN, N. Y. 



The las't monthly meeting of the Tar- 

 rytown Horticultural Society was held 

 on the evening of February 26, which 

 had been set apart as carnation night. 

 There was an unusually large attendance 

 of the members, who all seemed mesmer- 

 ized on seeing such a display of carna- 

 tions. 



The prize offered by Mr. Marshall, of 

 Katonah, for three varieties, six of each, 

 brought forward heavy competition. 

 First honors went to James Stuart, 

 Mamaroneck, who put up Enchantress, 

 Bose-pink Enchantress and Victory in 

 great shape. Robert Angus was second, 

 and Thomas Aitchison and W. Jamieson 

 each received an honorable mention. 



F. R. Pierson Co. exhibited two prom- 

 ising seedlings, one pure white and the 

 other pink, and both were awarded cer- 

 tificates. William Roberts, of Ossining, 

 also received a certificate, for a good 

 dark seedling. Francis Gibson received 

 a cultural certificate for a magnificent 

 bunch of single violets. 



The evening was largely devoted to 

 revising the schedules and fixing the dates 

 for the June and fall shows. 



W. Jamieson. 



Beverly, Mass. — William Murphy, 

 who has had charge of the greenhouse 

 on the Hugo Johnstone estate for some 

 time, has resigned his position.

What arc you looking for? 



Just a greenhouse that" answers the purpose" or one that more 

 than answers it ? Do you want a house that will produce more 

 blooms through December, January and February than any other 

 house constructed any other way ? Then buy a U-Bar. It is the 

 lightest house built — and if it is lightest, it is most productive. It 

 is a house with every possible decay point fully protected. 

 / Send for fully illustrated catalogue. 



The ideal coDstruction for private estates, parJss, 

 public institutions and florists' showrooms.
