The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Mav IC, 1912. 



SOUTHAMPTON, N. Y. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Southampton Horticultural Society was 

 held in the Odd Fellows' hall May 2, 

 with Vice-president Julius King presid- 

 ing. 



There was not much business to be 

 brought before the society. The matter 

 of chief importance at present is get- 

 ting ready for the summer show, to be 

 held July 24 and 25. A committee of 

 nine members, with the vice-president 

 as chairman, has full charge of all the 

 arrangements for that event. The 

 premium list is out and the total 

 amount of prize money is $600, which 

 should make considerable show. 



After the transaction of business, the 

 members present had an interesting dis- 

 cussion on the jVarious insect pests and 

 the remedies for them. 



Secretary Ben Palmer gave a short 

 talk on his wonderful success in grow- 

 ing cucumbers outdoors. He sinks com- 

 mon drain pipes two feet in the ground 

 and plants his seeds close to the pipe. 

 He pours a pail of water into the pipe 

 once a day and has barrow-loads of cu- 

 cumbers all the season, from one plant- 

 ing. W. M. 



MILWAUKEE. 



Mothers' day was observed to a 

 greater extent than ever before. Out- 

 side of the booming by those of the 

 craft, newspapers and preachers in most 

 cases took Mothers ' day for a topic and 

 the results were quite satisfactory. Our 

 wholesale houses reported a brisk de- 

 mand for white carnations for shipping 

 orders May 10 and 11 and many calls on 

 Sunday forenoon. Had the weather 

 been more favorable (for it rained and 

 was cool on Saturday and Sunday), the 

 supply would not have met the demand, 

 for it was pretty well cleaned up under 

 the aforesaid conditions. E. 0. 



Forest City, la. — Willard Secor, of 

 the Hill City Greenhouses, has had the 

 most prosperous season in his experi- 

 ence, both in local trade and shipping 

 business, and future prospects are 

 bright.
