The Weekly Florists' Reviev.. 



JUNE 28, 1900. 



plays her parts to perfection. A suc- 

 cessful tour and safe return to her 

 papa is the wish of the San Francisco 

 florists. 



At the Golden Gate park one of the 

 old San Franciscan missions was done 

 in carpet bedding last week. The work 

 was well done and the coloring will 

 improve as the days roll past.

ONECO, FLA. 



Reasoner Bros, are building a palm 

 house 25x100 for equatorial plants and 

 are remodelling an old glass house 20x 

 100. They have finished a lath house 

 40x100. 



They have fixed automatic revolving 

 sprinklers for all their space in lath 

 houses, cold-frames and yards, about 

 100 of them altogether. They set them 

 about two feet high and 17 to 18 feet 

 apart. They save lots of time hand- 

 ling a hose and i' looks very pretty to 

 see about 18 work.ng at a time. The 

 pressure is only 22 pounds (tank 45 

 feet high), but it is sulflcient. E. 



PALMS. 



We have received from Mr. W. J. 

 Hesser, Plattsmouth, Neb., specimens 

 of his 4, 5 and 6-inch Latania bor- 

 bonica. They are certainly good plants 

 in excellent condition and reflect credit 

 upon his ability as a grower. Mr. 

 Hesser has done much to develop the 

 palm - growing industry west of the 

 Mississippi. 



FRUITDALE, ALA. 



This little settlement of northern 

 people who have come here to enjoy 

 the beautiful southern climate is one 

 of the busiest places to be found these 

 days. The growing of peaches has so 

 far been the leading industry, but this 

 spring considerable interest, is being 

 taken in the prospect of a new indus- 

 try for the south in the growing of 

 bulbs. Mr. L. H. Read removed here 

 from Grand Rapids, Wis., in March, 

 and has planted out several acres in 

 gladiolus, dahlias, tuberoses and cal- 

 adlums, and the venture is being 

 watched with interest. At this writ- 

 ing they are growing finely and give 

 promise of success. Narcissus, hya- 

 cinths and other bulbs will be added 

 in the fall. 



The Cape Jessamine is one of our 

 most beautiful flowers, and as it pro- 

 duces great quantities of buds just in 

 season for Decoration day and school 

 closings, and can be shipped for at 

 least 1,500 miles and arrive in first- 

 class condition, it seems to offer a val- 

 uable industry to any one who wants 

 to make a good Income from a small 

 area of ground. 



Early peaches have been ripe for 

 three weeks and the crop is estimated 

 at 150 carloads, and will be harvested 

 mostly during the mouths of June and 

 July. 



June 7 was the date of an event that 

 will be remembered by at least two 

 parties in our little town. On the 

 evening of that day L, H. Read took 

 unto himself a life partner in the per- 

 son of Mrs. Cardie B. Winkler, for- 

 merly of Cuba, 111. It is expected that 

 this new floral firm will do much to 

 add beauty and fragrance to the gar- 

 dens of this vic^nity. 



The south is a paradise of wild 

 flowers from early spring until late in 

 the fall, and we think it would be a 

 pleasant outing for northern florists 

 to take one of the regular monthly ex- 

 cursions to this place, which run on 

 the first and third Tuesdays of each 

 month from all stations north of the 

 Ohio river, the rate being one fare, 

 plus $2. for the round trip and limited 

 to twenty-one days. R. 



LEXINGTON, KY.— D. Honaker has 

 broken ground for the erection of an 

 American Beauty house to be 32x150. 

 The total cost will be $2. .500. With this 

 addition the establishment will have a 

 total of 60,000 feet of glass.
