The Weekly Florists' Review. 



APRIL 6, 1S99. 



MILWAUKEE. 



Easter weather was unusually dis- 

 agreeable for the florists this year, 

 necessitating precaution against frost 

 in all deliveries of plants and cut 

 flowers. Stock shortened up, especi- 

 ally roses, in which difficulty was ex- 

 perienced in the filling of early orders 

 towards the latter part of the week. 

 Carnations were fairly plentiful, es- 

 pecially in fancy varieties. There 

 was enough bulb stock to go around, 

 with prices remaining fairly firm. 

 Lily plants were extremely scarce, but 

 there being a good supply of spiraea, 

 azaleas, mignonette and callas they 

 were largely substituted. Prices 

 ranged on roses from $.5 to $10 per 

 100, according to quality; carnations, 

 $3 to $7: violets, 50 cents to $1.00; 

 valley, $4; Harrisii, $1.50 per doz. 



Archie Middlemass has opened up a 

 down-town store on Wisconsin street, 

 near the Northwestern depot. 



Ellis & Pollworth are now running 

 two wagons, having recently put on a 

 large wagon for the hauling of palms 

 and merchandise. GEO. W. 



PETUNIAS AND JADOO. 



Wm. Robertson, gardener to John 

 W. Pepper, Esq., exhibited two 

 grand plants of double petunias in 

 12-inch pots, the plants being about 

 36 inches in height, and 40 inches 

 through, looking more like chrysan- 

 themums than petunias. — Florists' 

 Exchange, Mch. 25. 



Something unique at an .^jxhibitiou, 

 in Philadelphia at 'east, were two 

 well grown plants of petunia traine.l 

 in bush form, similar to what we gen- 

 erally see among chrysanthemums at 

 the autumnal shows. The plants 

 must have been three feet high end 

 as far through. They were grcwn 

 and shown by Wra. llobertsou, gar- 

 dener for J. W. Pepper Esq., Jenkin- 

 town, and attraciej much attention. — 

 American Florist, Mch. 25. 



The double petunias that I ex!iib- 

 ited at Horticultural Hall on the 2 1st 

 were grown in half-Jadoo and halt 

 soil. I used a mixture of Jadoo 

 liquid for watering.
