The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



May 9, 1912. 



WASHINGTON, D. C. 



There is a movement on foot in the 

 national capital to have the Society of 

 American Florists pay tribute to those 

 who lost their lives on the ill-fated 

 Titanic. The plans are to have about 

 1,000 American Beauty roses cast on the 

 waters, May 30, in the vicinity of 

 where the accident occurred. To bring 

 this about it will be necessary to ob- 

 tain the cooperation of the officials of 

 the White Star Line in order to have 

 the flowers carried on the vessel which 

 will be nearest that point on the day 

 in question, and to have them strewn 

 upon the waters by the officials and sail- 

 ors of the boat. It is expected that the 

 delegation to the London flower show 

 will take passage on the ' ' flower boat ' ' 

 and, if the plans go through, will be 

 there to witness this ceremony. 



A better tribute could not be paid 

 these unfortunates, flower lovers all, 

 and the deed will be one that the so- 

 ciety always can look back upon with 

 pride. The fact that the ceremony is 

 to take place on Memorial day and that 

 florists will be at hand to witness it, 

 seems most fitting to the occasion. 



William F. Gude, the local represent- 

 ative of the Society of American Flo- 

 rists, is working hard to bring these 

 plans, which are yet in embryo, to a 

 culmination and in his efforts he is 

 receiving the active cooperation of a 

 score of enthusiastic members of the 

 Washington Florists' Club.

Thompsonville, Conn. — D. William 

 Brainard and Chester F. Brainard, pro- 

 prietors of the Brainard Floral & Nurs-

 piece of property known as the Beck- 

 with Allen homestead. The purchase 

 includes a residence, with some farm 

 buildings in the rear. The residence will 

 undergo extensive repairs and will be 

 occupied about September 1 by D. Will- 

 iam Brainard, who has sold his former

 modeled for the use of the firm.
