The Florists^ Review 



Adqdst 1, 1912. 



UBNOX, MASS. 



The annual sweet pea show' of the 

 Lenox Horticultural Society was held in 

 the Town hall July 23 and was a pro- 

 nounced success, for in spite of the dry 

 and rather unfavorable growing season, 

 more and better sweet peas were shown 

 than ever before, there being no less 

 than 126 varieties staged. Practically 

 the entire summer colony of Lenox, 

 Stockbridge and adjoining towns at- 

 tended the exhibition. 



Allan Jenkins, gardener for S. P. 

 Shotter, was the most successful com- 

 petitor, capturing fourteen first prizes. 

 His brother, Edwin Jenkins, of the 

 Giraud Foster estate, had ten firsts to 

 his credit. The flowers of these two 

 exhibitions were of grand quality. F. 

 Heeremans, superintendent to Mrs. W. 

 D. Sloane, had the best vase of sweet 

 peas arranged for effect, E. Jenkins 

 second and A. Jenkins third. For bas- 

 kets W. M. Salisbury, Mrs. W. B. O. 

 Field and E. Jenkins won in order 

 named. There were lady judges for ex- 

 hibits arranged for effect. There were 

 many other exhibitors in addition to 

 those named and other seasonable flow- 

 ers were shown. An exhibition of an- 

 nuals and perennials will be held Au- 

 gust 22, and the annual chrysanthemum 

 show the last week in October.

LOUISVILLE, KY. 



Business is quiet, with the exception 

 of a spurt of funeral work now and 

 again. Stock is poor, with the excep- 

 tion of gladioli and asters, which are 

 in good supply. 



The florists' picnic last week was a 

 great success; everybody there had a 

 delightful time. The committee in 

 charge, August Baumer, Louis Kirch, 

 Herman Kleinstarink and H. Klein- 

 stuber, received great praise for the 

 good work they did. Mr. Leaming, 

 the florist whose grounds adjoin the 

 picnic grounds, has everything in good 

 shape and is overhauling some of his 

 houses. He is an extensive grower of 

 hardy plants and shrubs and has a 

 heavy stock of hedge plants for fall.

 city place to Conrad A. Schaefer.

SILVER PINK SNAPDRAGON 



-"' ./V>-Ti»"' 



nnE offer for immediate delivery fine stock of the well-known New England 

 ■*i strain of Silver Pink Snapdragon. In addition to its beautiful color, 

 this strain is exceptionally free-flowering and the habit of growth is ideal. 

 Indispensable to the grower who retails his own stock, as the flowers can be 

 used for so many purposes. We consider it one of the most profitable plants 

 we had on our place the past season. 



The stock we offer is all from rooted cuttings, well established in 2^4 -inch 

 pots, pinched back once or twice and nicely branched— $6.00 per 100, $45.00 

 per 1000. Extra strong 3-inch, $8.00 per 100.
