The Weekly Florists' Review* 



M.'VRCH t3, 1893. 



ABUTILONS. 



[From advance sheets of the Florists' Manii;il, b\ 

 William Scott.] 



Greenhouse shrubs with tirooping. 

 bell-shaped flowers, ranging in color 

 from pure white to crimson and 

 purple, mostly erect in growth. A few 

 of the species will endure a few de- 

 grees of frost, but they are best treat- 

 ed as cool greenhouse plants during 

 our winters. The hybrids now both 

 in beauty of leaf and flower far sur- 

 pass the true species. They are 

 largely used in sub-tropical flower 

 gardening, growing very freelj' in our 

 warm summers and are fine ornamen- 

 tal plants for the conservatory, and 

 can either be grown as specimen plants 

 in pots or trained to pillars or raft- 

 ers. As a commercial plant, except 

 for flower gardening, they are not of 

 great value, being strong growers and 

 occupying too much room for their 

 value. 



They are easiest propagated from 

 the young tender growths. If desira- 

 ble to increase your stock in the fall, 

 September is the best month, keep 

 ing the sand very moist and not al- 

 lowing the cuttings to wilt from the 

 beat or sun. The plants lift from the 

 open ground perfectly in October and 

 if cut back during the winter will give 

 you lots of cuttings which root most 

 easily in the ordinary propagating 

 bed. 



A. vesillarium is a drooping species 

 and used largely in hanging baskets, 

 veranda boxes and carpet bedding. 

 For a drooping plant for a vase they 

 should be propagated in September 

 from the young shoots of plants grow- 

 ing outside. By spring these should 

 be in 3-in. pots and are most useful 

 for the purpose described. 



Abutilons are troubled with few 

 enemies. The hose will keep down 

 mealy bug, and aphis seldom appeal'. 

 Any soil that water passes freely 

 through will grow abutilons, but much 

 manure should be avoided, as most of 

 the kinds are very free growers. The 

 following varieties are fine decorative 

 plants: Saritzii, green and white fo- 

 liage; Mrs. J. Laing, strong grower, 

 flowers bright rose; Souvenir de Bonn, 

 variegated foliage, orange flowers; 

 Infanta Eulalia, compact grower for 

 pots, flowers pink; Boule de Niege. 

 pure white; Thompsonia plena, free 

 blooming double orange. 



KALAMAZOO, MICH.— This city has 

 acquired quite a reputation as a car- 

 nation center in addition to its re- 

 nowned strain of celery. 



At the Dunkley Floral Co.'s estab- 

 lishment we met our old friend Wm. 

 Cook, of Cincinnati, and Chicago. Mr. 

 Cook has charge here and is showing 

 the effects of his cultural skill. 



G. Van Bochove & Bro. do a large 

 shipping business in addition to a good 

 retail patronage, one of the neatest, 

 best equipped plants can be seen here. 



The Right Cypress for 

 Greenhouse Material. 



Have you heard of Cypress Greenhouse Material that has not been satisfac- 

 tory ? If you have it does not follow that Cypress is not the best lumber to use. 

 There is White Cypress, Yellow Cypress and Red Cypress; there is Cypress that 

 grows on the high lands and Cypress that grows in the swamps. 



All of these ditTerent kinds are not suitable for greenhouse purposes. Do you 

 know which kind is best and do you know that kind when you see it? If not you 

 would better buy from those that do know and will deliver exactly what they sell. 

 We introduced Cypress for greenhouse construction and pushed it to the front. 

 We know all about it. For fifteen years we have made a specialty of furnishing it, 

 and during this thne we have built up a reputation that we can not afl'ord to jeop- 

 ardize. We send out the best only.
