The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



MARCH £3. li;99. 



this neighborhood now and Jubilee 

 does not succeed. Mr. Goddard hopes 

 that G. H. Crane may fill a much 

 needed want in scarlets. F. Mangold 

 still holds first place as a crimson. 

 Empress while fine is not free enough. 

 Large quantities of rooted cuttings 

 were noted in the propagating 

 benches. Mr. Goddard already has a 

 large call for them from both florists 

 and private gardeners. 



While carnations are the leading 

 feature here a general florist's stock 

 is grown in addition. A house of 

 Campbell violets looked very healthy 

 and completely covered with blooms. 

 A large frame of Marie Louise prom- 

 ised to give an immense Easter crop. 

 Everything on the place was in apple- 

 pie order and reflected the greatest 

 credit on the popular proprietor. To 

 meet the increasing demiud of his 

 customers Mr. Goddard will consider- 

 ably increase his glass during the 

 coming season. W. N. CRAIG. 



A MILLIONAIRE FLORIST. 

 It is reported that Millionaire Hig- 

 inbotham will very largely increase 

 the glass surface for his Chicago Car- 

 nation Co. this season. Mr. Hlg- 

 inbotham must have received warm 

 support from the trade during the 

 past year to encourage him to put 

 more of his capital into the green- 

 house business, and if the enlarged 

 capacity is supported with equal 

 warmth by the trade Mr. Higinbotham 

 may be encouraged to put up a block 

 of 50 acres or so of glass and thus be- 

 come a "Florist Prince" as well as a 

 "Merchant Prince," which, will, of 

 course, be very gratifying to the trade, 

 though possibly a little rough on those 

 who depend upon the business for 

 their bread and butter, and who have 

 no huge mercantile business from 

 which to draw capital.
