The Weekly Florists' Review. 



NOVEMBER 1, 1900. 



TOLEDO, O. 



Various Items. 



On last Saturday Mr. Geo. A. Heinl 

 celebrated in a quiet sort of way the 

 2oth anniversary of his career as a flor- 

 ist in this city. 



On that occasion his Summit street 

 store and conservatory, in conmection 

 with it, always resplendent with season- 

 able blooms, seemed to take on a still 

 more magnificent appearance with their 

 wealth of roses, chrysanthemums, car- 

 nations, palms and miscellaneous plants. 

 A range of 26 large houses at Mr. Heinl's 

 West Toledo place, or an average of one 

 new one for each year he has been in 

 business here, speaks well for Mr. H.'s 

 success. Of this fine plant house, No. 1 

 is given up to orchids, containing, it is 

 admitted, one of the finest collections 

 ever seen in this city. House No. 5 is 

 devoted to chrysanthemums, and Nos. 2, 

 3, 4, 18, 21 and 22 to carnations. Houses 

 Nos. 6, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17 are 

 occupied principally by roses of the fin- 

 est varieties. In the remaining houses 

 is a full representation of a line of the 

 most desirable flowers and plants. The 

 buildings arc mostly 18x130. 



The carnation department is under the 

 immediate charge of Mr. J. G. Gartner, 

 a carnation enthusiast of several years' 

 successful experience. Mr. James Wall 

 looks after the roses in a very satisfac- 

 tory manner. 



Theo. Helbing, having thrown up his 

 lease of the East Broadway greenhouses, 

 as a result of some legal complications, 

 the owner, Mr. 0. E. Schmidt, took 

 possession again a few days ago, and 

 will stock them up for the regular win- 

 ter's trade. 



When the local florists commenced re- 

 cently to size up their stocks of carna- 

 tions for the winter's cut flower trade, 

 many of them found that they had not 

 made liberal enough provision for the 

 same. Consequently there has been 

 much hustling abovtt and telephoning to 

 suburban and country growers for stock, 

 within the past two or three weeks.

NEW GERANIUM 

 LITTLE PINK 



Or DouMe Pinh "Mars.** one of the best nov- 

 elties of the Mars family. The first double of this 

 class ever ottered to the trade. It is a very dwarf, 

 bushy, compact and extra free blooming variety, 

 not exceeding 4 to 6 inches in height. Its trusses 

 a pleasing shade of bright pink, upper petals white 

 at the base. Unlike Mars or America in color, it 

 has no trace of salmon shading. Its miniature 

 trusses stand erect. 3 to 6 inches above the foliage. 

 It is excellent for bedding, for the border, or as a 

 pot plant. Too much praise cannot be given this 

 grand little pink variety. Price $5.00 per doz., 

 $35.00 per 100. Half-tone cuts will be furnished 

 free of charge for catalogue. Correspondence so- 

 licited. Orders booked now for fall and winter de- 

 livery. Received certificate of merit at the New 

 York Convention of the Society of American 

 Florists.
