The Weekly Florists' Revicv,. 



Trade Conditions.i 



Neither supply nor deniand is of any 

 weight at present. An exception must 

 be made in the case of violets, because 

 the demand is not very heavy and the 

 supply is plentiful enough so that prices 

 have been falling for a week or more and 

 have now got down to about 35 cents per 

 100 on poorer grades, and best ones go 

 hard at 75 cents. A cent and a half has 

 been buying a pretty fair pink, but fig- 

 ures struggled up a little at tlie end of 

 the week, while small roses were very 

 scarce during the last two or three days 

 of it, with a corresponding advance in 

 price upon them. Larger grades were 

 plentiful enough to fill ufl .,i .In > at alHjiit

Various Items. 



The world-famous lirm of Lawson, Gal- 

 vin & Fisher is dissolved. Mr. Peter 

 lEJsher carries on the Lawson carnation 

 business at the old stand. He has named 

 his best new white one the '"Goveinor 

 Wolcott." If he can make the plant ex- 

 ist as long as that name will eiulure in 

 Boston a future is assured. And did you 

 notice that the frontispiece in the Car- 

 nation Xumber of The Review consisted 

 of a picture of Mr. FisherV boy with a 

 bunch of his favmite nnrnntinns?

A CENTURY CATALOGUE. 



We have received a copy of the one 

 hundredth annual catalogue of the firm 

 of J. M. Thorburn & Co., New York, and 

 it is a fitting one with which to round 

 out a completed century of a successful 

 business. On the eover ajipcars in eol- 



and a, ll\ Iral m-ijr . a, i ir- a line Jmr 

 trait ijf I :iani IImh Imi n. i la- huindfr .il 

 the hoil-.-. Ilaia- ai.. Mil p.i-rs of ,1,- 

 scriptive matter and interspersed arc 

 numerous fine half-tone engravings on 

 enameled paper. We are pleased to see 

 these half-tone engravings from photo- 

 graphs taking the place of the old time 

 catalogue wood cut. They are truthful 

 and satisfying. They cannot be improved 

 upon as a means of giving an accurate 

 impression of the subjects. The cata- 

 logue is one that all interested in seeds 

 and plants should have. It is oire of 

 those catalogues that you naturally pre- 

 serve for reference on account of the in- 

 trinsic value of its contents. 



Amona, Ia.— J. P. Fohlin is prepai 

 ing to enter the business here and wil
