The Weekly Florists* Review. 



MARCH 30, 1899. 



flowers." "Well, I don't believe it," 

 and several more remarks more point- 

 ed than poetical. Then there were 

 grand vases of Mrs. Bradt and magnifl- 

 cent home-grown vases of Daybreak, 

 Meteor, Triumph, Flora Hill, a pink 

 sport of Daybreak, Mrs. Joost and Ar- 

 mazindy, but what took the cake was 

 a vase of The Marquis. It not only 

 took the first place in the eye of the 

 florist, but every one who spoke of it 

 said, "That's my flower." It is cer- 

 tainly a beauty in every respect and 

 if it is the bearer, which reliable testi- 

 mony says it is, then Mr. Marquisee 

 has a little fortune ahead. Mr. M. de- 

 serves success with his wonderful pink 

 for the handsome way he has named 

 it. True, everybody can't abbreviate 

 their name and leave the remnant a 

 title of nobility, "a marquis, duke or a 

 that." But its a grand example to set. 

 How noble it sounds compared with 

 "Mrs. Mary Ann Snooks, "or the "Hon'l 

 -Hickory Abner Hotstuff." etc. Liberty 

 is ten times a better name for a rose 

 than Admiral Dewey, great as the man 

 and his namesake, the rose, may be. 



And now goodbye. I hope you will 

 all be blessed for a week at least with 

 a cool and placid mind, that your 

 temperature will remain at the normal 

 98 and your atmospheric surroundings 

 will be about 55. W. S. 



BERMUDA FLOWERS. 



The Bermuda growers have evident- 

 ly not given up their practice of burn- 

 ing the candle at both ends. We have 

 come into possession of a circular is- 

 sued by Vandegi-ift & Co., custom 

 house brokers. New York, Philadelphia 

 and Chicago, in which orders are so- 

 licited for boxes of Bermuda grown 

 lily buds for Easter, each box to con- 

 tain "five dozen choice buds." Prices 

 quoted include delivery and range 

 from $3 a box delivered in New York 

 City up to $5.80 delivered in the state 

 of Washington. March 29 is given as 

 the "last day orders for the growers at 

 Bermuda can be received to insure de- 

 livery before Easter." 



As these flowers are nearly always 

 too far gone when received "to be of 

 any use probably no harm is done the 

 trade, but the anxiety of the Bermuda 

 grower to pick up a few extra dollars, 

 even at the risk of destroying what is 

 left of his bulb trade, is worthy of 

 note. The candle has been so well 

 burned already that there is not much 

 left to burn, but the remains are blaz- 

 ing right merrily.

Isn't this a pretty good record.^ .And for these 

 I received from $2.50 to $1.00 per 10(^). Can you 

 equal this? And the plants are still throwing as 

 many flowers, if not more than ever. 



I cannot begin to supply tlie demand for this 

 superb violet; the wa> things look now, I shall 

 not be able to supply the demand for rooted cut- 

 tings. If you get left, you will only blame your- 

 self. My new oook on Violet Culture goes with 

 every order for cuttings. 



The violet is the largest, most double, longest 

 stemmed, color so dark as to look almost artificial; 

 healthy; and as the record shows, a very free bloom- 

 er. The parent plant of this magnificent variety 

 gave me 118 of the tinest tiowers you ever saw.
