The Weekly Florists' Review* 



JAMDABX 12, 1911. 



Among the fifty-four persons present 

 were K O. Orpet, Lake Forest, 111,; 

 George Brown, Greenfield, Mich., and 

 A. N. Pierson, Cromwell, Conn. The 

 latter showed the new roses, Prince de 

 Bulgarie and Dark Pink Killarney, each 

 of which was given a certificate of 

 merit by the committee headed by F. F. 

 Benthey. W. N. Budd showed a red 

 carnation. No. 35-08, which was given 

 a certificate. Honorable mention was 

 made of a vase of Carnation Washing- 

 ton shown by the Chicago Carnation Co. 



At the close of the business session, 

 adjournment was to the main dining 

 room of the Union hotel, where dinner 

 was served. It was Dutch treat, but 

 the arrangements were in charge of 

 that skilled purveyor, Vice-President 

 Kohlbrand. F. F. Benthey acted as 

 toastmaster and gave opportunity for 

 speech to nearly half of those present, 

 beginning with the new officers and 

 the visitors. When P. J. Foley was 

 called on he made a most serious talk, 

 presenting to George Asmus, as a testi- 

 monial from the club members, a large 

 tin watch. As the real testimonial, an 

 exceedingly thin gold timekeeper, suita- 

 bly engraved, was not immediately 

 forthcoming, the retiring president was 

 for a few minutes quite uncertain as 

 to "where he was at." 



^ Various Notes. 



Among the season's substantial addi- 

 tions to greenhouse area will be eight 

 houses to be erected at High Eidge by 

 the Evert Bros. John Evert will add 

 three houses, each 31x150, and Nick 

 Evert will put up five houses, each 30x 

 150. It is understood that the Pitts- 

 burg Plate Glass Co. will supply the 

 1,400 boxes of glass required and that 

 the Moninger Co. is milling the roof 

 material. 



Wendland & Keimel have not yet 

 closed a contract for new houses, but 

 they bought the glass in November and 

 it is the general impression that work 

 will shortly be started on a range of 

 fourteen houses. 



Wietor Bros, are busy putting in cut- 

 tings. Young stock has always been an 

 important item of their yearly sales. 



Henry Van Gelder says that Percy 

 Jones is finding more than the usual 

 demand for carnation cuttings. 



Glass is not high; 16x18 D. S. A. is 

 selling in carload lots at about $2.15, 

 and D. S. B. at about $2 per box. 



The Poehlmann sweet peas are no 

 longer dropping their buds. It took 

 some time to get the mastery of the 

 situation, but the vines are now flower- 

 ing heavily. 



Phil Schupp says that J. A. Bndlong 

 has over 200,000 valley pips in cold 

 storage. 



C. W. McKellar says his advices from 

 the east are that there will be no 

 further shortage of orchids this season. 



The Flower Growers' Market stock- 

 holders held their annual meeting last 

 week. Directors were elected as fol- 

 lows: John Sinner, Frank Beu, Alex 

 Henderson, Hertha V. Tonner, Amelia 

 Schaeflfer. The directors will meet in a 

 few days to elect officers and decide 

 various questions now pending. 



John P. Degnan, of Winterson's Seed 

 Store, says that ever since the flower 

 show they have had calls for the Castle 

 Gould celosia. 



Peter Eeinberg will try out a number 

 of the new roses next season, including 

 Kose Queen, Melody and Double Pink 

 Killarney.
