The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



September 21, 1911. 



Our Silent Traveler always talks, 

 Yet never opens up his mouth; 



He travels far, but never walks, • 

 Through North, East, West and South. 



His outward garb is neat and clean, 

 His whole make-up is picturesque; 



Though traveling, he is never seen, 

 Yet suddenly he's at your desk. 



You say at once, "He's mighty fine," -"" ''*^" 

 So many things does he suggest; 



You order fully in his line, 



For he has everything that's best. 



You say you'd like to know his name, 



That we forgot to introduce. 

 We surely did ; why, what a shame ! . 



His name is "Katalog de Luxe."

MentloD The Review when "fou write; 



house that promises well for specimens 

 in December. Nice ferns, primroses, 

 arecas and rubbers filled the houses. A 

 new feature is the fernballs started for 

 immediate effect; these are hanging 

 from the rafters, forming an interest- 

 ing side line. 



A feature of the outside is. the Jeru- 

 salem cherry, well grown and loaded 

 with fruit. Mr. Aschmann keeps his 

 houses full of good stock, whether 

 times are dull or brisk. His push and 

 enterprise are an object lesson worth 

 careful study by those who would com- 

 mand success. 



Various Notes. 



Myers & Samtman have graded their 

 ground preparatory to erecting another 

 house, about 55x300, probably on sim- 

 ilar lines to the one built last spring, 

 considered an improvement on its pred- 

 ecessors. 



W. W. Crawford had a dozen antique 

 baskets of asters, dahlias and Beauties 

 for the incoming of the new director 

 of public works last week. The tragic 

 part lay in the fact that the baskets 

 arrived before the retiring director left, 

 due, the superstitious will say, to their 

 numbering thirteen. Afterward they 

 gave much pleasure to the Kush hos- 

 pital patients. 



C. F. Knorr and his two sons mo- 

 tored from Fox Chase to Soutliampton 

 recently, to compare notes with Stephen 

 Mortensen on the disbudding of Killar- 

 ney. 



Mrs. Albert Woltemate has her place 

 in excellent condition. The stock of 

 orchids, of which the late Albert Wol- 

 temate was so proud, has been kept up. 



Charles I. Kent, Jr., has reopened 

 his store, after two months' absence 

 from the city. He is lining the walls 

 with birch bark. 



Henry C. Geiger, of the Florex Gar- 

 dens, was much pleased with his visit 

 to the Budlong place at Providence, 

 B. L, where he was particularly in- 

 terested a;i the fine growth of Killarney 

 and in the ^ew White Killarney. 



Charles H. Campbell is putting in 



two new Kroeschell boilers to run his 



place. Ferns are a specialty here and 



rubbers are grown in, smaller quantity.
