The Weekly Florists' Review. 



tion belt. Mr. Weiland was much im- 

 pressed by the fine new carnations seen 

 at Dorner's, at Lafayette, and was glad 

 to hear Mr. Hill, at Kichinond, talk of 

 carnations at 20 cents cacli in the future. 

 He thought that Dorotliy, at jNIrs. 

 Graves', Kichmond, was as prolific as 

 Scott and a better stem and flower, and 

 believes that Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Evans 

 will be able to raise their baby in the 

 right way, now they have had so many 

 valuable pointers on the care of children 

 from Mr. Wi'etor. The party saw some 

 fine roses at the South Park Floral Co.'s 

 plant at New Castle, and they were so 

 liberally entertained all along the line 

 that they came home with an excellent 

 opinion of Hoosier lio.spitality. 



MILWAUKEE. 



TheMuket. 



A continued shortage of white stock, 

 especially in roses and carnations, to- 

 gether with an unusual amount of funeial 

 work, was experienced during the most 

 of the past month. Roses wer'e badly oft' 

 crop and at times it was difficult to fill 

 orders satisfactorily. Paper whites, val- 

 ley, Romans and violets kept pace with 

 the demand and were used freely to help 

 out when other stock could not be had. 

 Good American Beauties were out of the 

 question, but short, inferior blooms were 

 plentiful. Colored carnations were about 

 the only weak spot on the market at 

 times. Smilax has also shortened up 

 considerably. 



In roses, good Maids and Brides 

 ranged at various times from $6 to $10 

 per^lOO; seconds from $3 to $4. Carna- 

 tions—white, $2 to $3; colored ordinary, 

 $1 to $1.50; good fancy sorts, $3 to $5. 

 Violets, fancy, averaged about $1 per 

 100, with inferior stock moving at any 

 price obtainable. In blooming plants, 

 azaleas, cyclamen, primroses and mig- 

 nonette predominated, but dealers report 

 sales rather light. C. C. P.

 superior to that favorite. I confidently 

 predict big sales and large plantings of 

 this grand rose another season. If 

 Brother Asmus will only give frequent 

 instructions for the cultivation of this 

 variety, it will soon become popular with 

 the growers. 



Carnations have succeeded poorly so 

 far this season, owing no doubt to the 

 unseasonable weather. Violets continue 

 scarce, although there are plenty of buds 

 in sight. 



Hyacinths, dafTodils and other bulbous 

 stock are appearing and are the welcome 

 harbinger of spring.
