The Weekly Florists' Review. 



JUNE 14, 1900. 



BALTIMORE, 



Once or twice during tlie weelv end- 

 ing with this day, June 11th. the mar- 

 ket seemed ou the verge of an utter 

 collapse, but a wedding or two and 

 some moderate demands for funeral 

 purposes temporarily revived a trans- 

 ient and halting activity. There have 

 been many weddings and some com- 

 mencements, and there are more to 

 come, but out-of-door flowers are in 

 so profuse supply that the retailer 

 gets very little out of these events. 

 The day of the paeony, however, is 

 about over for this year. 



In my notes of last week the types 

 changed the name of Mr. Charles 

 'Bassler. who is the capable and active 

 gardener at the Lurman place. Mr. 

 B. is well Ivuown in this community 

 and everyone will recognize that he 

 was meant, Init there is no fun or 

 glory either in "being killed on the 

 battlefield and having your name 

 spelled wrong in the gazette." 



RIX. 



CHEAPER COAL. 



In our Chica.go notes in this issue 

 will be found a report of the Chi- 

 cago Florists' Club's committee ou 

 the co-operative purchase of coal, in- 

 dicating that the committee will be 

 able to make a very material saving 

 for the growers participating. Final 

 action will be taken at the meeting 

 of the club to be held to-morrow I Fri- 

 day) evening. 



Is there not a useful suggestion for 

 florists in other cities in the work of 

 this committee? Many thousands of 

 dollars could be saved to growers all 

 over the country by acting together 

 with other local growers. And a dol- 

 lar saved is surely a dollar earned. 



A "COAL room; 



A typographical error in our last is- 

 sue made us intimate that Mr. Harts- 

 horne kept bis carnations in a 'coal" 

 room instead of a cool room. A "coal " 

 room for keeping carnations would 

 certainly be a startling novelty. 



It IS wonderful how some little ty- 

 pographical error will entirely change 

 the sense. We are reminded of the 

 poet who wrote: "He kissed her under 

 the bright stars," and was appalled to 

 find the types made him say: 'He 

 kissed her under the back stairs." 



LONG STEMMED CARNATIONS. 



We have received from Mr. N. Grei- 

 velding, Merrill, Wis., a box of Flora 

 Hill carnations, the stems of all ex- 

 ceeding 3% feet in length. Mr. Grei- 

 velding writes that the plants meas- 

 ured four feet from soil to top of flow- 

 ors. They were certainly excellent 

 blooms. 



BAU CLAIRE, WIS. — Mr. Fred 

 Gadsby has rented the Oakdale Green- 

 houses to Mr. Wni. G. Newell, formerly 

 of Des Moines, la.
