The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



91 



the exhibition of flowers and plants was 

 exceedingly limited, little interest be- 

 ing apparently manifested by tjie grow- 

 ers. In years past the exhibitors of 

 plants and flowers have felt that they 

 did not get the treatment that they 

 w«re entitled to and have consequently 

 dropped out. An effort is now being 

 made to get them interested again, and 

 to this end the Florists ' and Gardeners ' 

 Club of Bhode Island has been invited 

 to lend a hand. 



In the flower department a new fea- 

 ture was introduced, namely, mantel 

 decorations. The corners of the hall 

 were also made attractive by the flne 

 showings of ferns, palms and potted 

 decorative plants. The judges in the 

 flower department were Cornelius Hart- 

 straw and Eugene MeCarron, and the 

 following awards were made: 



Roses: Burke Rose Co., Cranston, first with 

 Klllamey. 



Carnations: John A. Macrae, Providence, first; 

 Alexander Macrae, Providence, second. 



Violets: J. Kopelman & Co., Providence, first. 



Mantel decoration: William Appletou, Provi- 

 dence, .first. 



Palms and foUaee plants: Chas. H. Hunt, 

 Providence, first; William Appleton, second. 



Garden evergreens: William Appleton, special 

 mention. 



Mums: 12 white, Alexander Macrae, first; 12 

 yellow, F. S. Pecif, Harrington Center, first; 

 Alexander Macrae, second; 12 any other color, 

 F. S. Peck, first; collection single mixed, A. M. 

 Powell, Providence, first; F. S. Peck, second. 



Various Notes. 



Albert Holscher has just purchased 

 a new delivery wagon that is the envy 

 of fellow members of the trade. 



John Johnston, a son of Edward J. 

 Johnston, of Swan Point road, while 

 riding his bicycle near his home a few 

 evenings ago was struck by an auto- 

 mobile and thrown some distance. Al- 

 though the bicycle was badly damaged, 

 the boy escaped unhurt. The autoists 

 continued without stopping to see what 

 damage had been inflicted. 



Wm. B. Scott & Co., of Newport, 

 received a large importation of bulbs 

 from Holland last week. 



O. L. Hughes, who has opened a retail 

 store at 82 Westminster street, has 

 styled it the Providence Flower Shop. 



T. O'Connor is cutting 1,500 to 2,000 

 carnations daily at his houses on Black- 

 stone boulevard. He reports several 

 large funeral orders last week. 



The Continental Nurseries, of Frank- 

 lin, Mass., M. I. Van Leeuwen, manager, 

 have just received several large in- 

 voices of hyacinth, tulip, crocus and 

 daffodil bulbs. W. H. M. 



CINCINNATI. 



The Gateway to the South. 



The demand for All Saints' and 

 All Souls' day celebrations was good 

 and cleaned up the supply nicely. The 

 various growers who took stand at the 

 various cemeteries had little trouble in 

 disposing of all their stock at good 

 prices. The shipping call for stock dur- 

 ing this time also iras brisk. 



Boses are coming strong. The pink, 

 Beauties and red are snapped up quick- 

 ly, while white is slower, in spite of 

 large sales, owing to the tremendous 

 supply. Carnations are cleaning up 

 quickly. All the midseason varieties of 

 chrysanthemums are included in the of- 

 ferings. The medium-sized blooms are 

 most popular. All good offerings clean 

 up. Pompons are selling well, but at no 

 stiff prices. 



In other lines, Easter' lilies are again 

 enjoying a good market and are bring-

ing fair prices. Violets, both the New 

 York doubles and the local singles, run 

 short of the call. Valley and cattleyas 

 again sell well. The green goods mar- 

 ket is amply supplied. 



Flower Show Flans. 



The executive committee of the flower 

 show has everything well in hand and 

 is anxious for the opening, Novem- 

 ber 13. Hon. Louis Schwab, mayor of 

 Cincinnati, will open the exhibition, 

 which, judging from the rate at which 

 the entries are coming in, will be a most 

 successful one. Superintendent William 

 Murphy is prepared to take care of all 

 entries, even those which arrive at the 

 last moment. The silver cups offered 

 are on exhibition in the window of the 

 McDonald-Kiley Co., on Walnut street. 

 In addition, the S. A. F. silver and 

 bronze medals for new and meritorious 

 flowers of American origin will be 

 given. Large posters now adorn the 

 billboards of the vicinity, and if the 

 large number of inquiries in the retail 

 stores presages anything at all it shows 

 that the public is interested and will 

 turn out in force. 



Don't forget the smoker, Thursday, 

 November 16, at the Bismarck raths- 

 keller, at 8 p. m. Many of the promi- 

 nent members of the trade will be on 

 hand during the show week, and the 

 visitors will undoubtedly lend their 

 presence, as guests of the Cincinnati 

 Florists' Society, to the smoker. There 

 will be the usual eats, refreshments and 

 smokes, while the Porkchops Quartet 

 will provide entertainment, both instru- 

 mental and vocal. All who will attend 

 should try to call on or notify C. E. 

 Critchell, P. J. dinger or Charles H. 

 Hoffmeister, or the secretary of the 

 show at Music hall before noon, No- 

 vember 16.
