The Weekly Florists' Review, 



MARCH 9, 1S99. 



WASHINGTON. 



Business the past -week has been 

 quite lively for Lent. There have been 

 qulta a number of dinners and lunch- 

 eons and instead of prices going down 

 have kept up to the standard mark. 

 Brides, Maids and Meteors bring $S to 

 $10, La France, Gates, Kaiserin $10 to 

 $12; carnations $1.5.' to $3.00; all bulb- 

 ous stock $2 and $3. Harrisii are now 

 coming in fine and go slowly at $S. 

 Violets are very plentiful. Every 

 street corner is loaded down with 

 them, but in spite of quantity they are 

 disposed of every day. This is quite 

 a harvest for the fakir as he pays 20 

 to 30 cents per 100 and sells them for 

 75 cents to $1.00. 



Everybody is making preparations 

 for Easter. From piesent indications 

 there will be no shortage. 



Visitors: Henry Dreyer of A. Her- 

 mann, New York, and B. Eschner of 

 the firm of Rice & Co., Philadelphia.

 Willard, a seedling from Marie Guil- 

 lot, and Coquette de Lyon. Growth 

 vigorous, foliage large, height five to 

 sis feet; flower pure white, three to 

 four inches in diameter; bud short, 

 very durable and perfect. 



Henry Eichholz, Waynesboro, Pa., 

 has registered new geranium America, 

 a seedling from Mars. Growth dwarf, 

 foliage zoned, color shaded from pure 

 white to deep rose, flowers large and 

 round, blotched and striped so that no 

 two appear of identical color. More 

 floriferous than Mars.

NEW ORLEANS. 



The February blizzard played sad 

 havoc with the gardens in this city. 

 The giant palms that have been a fea- 

 ture for so many years were almost 

 all killed or so seriously injured that 

 they are a blemish rather than an 

 ornament. Almost all the tea roses 

 have been killed and the frost made 

 a clean sweep of the annuals. Many 

 of the florists lost large stocks which 

 were in frames. 



FT. MADISON. lA.— A fire occurred 

 at the establishment of the wholesale 

 seed firm of Voigt Sons. The stock 

 was covered by insurance.
