The Weekly Florists' Review. 



JUNE 9, 1898. 



PORTSMOUTH, N. H. 



Messrs. Hutehinson & Co. report a 

 very good season, and the recent visit 

 of one of the flowers of our navy cre- 

 ated a big demand for posies, which 

 caused a broad smile to appear upon 

 the face of Robt. Capsticli, the hust- 

 ling manager. 



When one, blessed with the intelli- 

 gence of our brother in the craft as is 

 Robt. Patterson, cannot find time to 

 read the trade papers, he must be busy 

 indeed. But so it is and a visit to the 

 charming domain of the Hon. Frank 

 Jones at this season is the strongest 

 evidence of the care and talent 

 shown by the excellent superintend- 

 ent, who has no sinecure in handling 

 above thirty men in the gardens alone, 

 particularly at this season, when so 

 much has to be done at once. 



Those handsome plants, which the 

 commercial man values in dollars as 

 decorative stock, are not neglected, 

 but look their best. It is in such es- 

 tablishments as this that one occa- 

 sionally has the pleasure of viewing 

 the gems of Flora's kingdom grov/n to 

 perfection. W. M. 



WAVERLY, MASS. 



Dropping in on W. W. Edgar on a 

 quiet Sunday afternoon, I found that 

 gentleman complacently surveying a 

 batch of begonia Gloire de Lorraine, 

 which has become familiar to your 

 readers, partly owing to a brief con- 

 troversy in a contemporary through 

 an oversight on the part of a worthy 

 grower and also b.v illustrations. It is 

 a grand plant and will take a front 

 place in the collection of flowering be- 

 gonias. 



An unrivaled batch of that beautiful 

 Rex variety, Lucy Closson, is being 

 grown for use in center of fern dishes, 

 the richest thing I have yet seen, and 

 Mr, Edgar knows how to make the 

 combination with the fine .-:tock of 

 young ferns he is raising for city 

 trade. He intends planting more maid- 

 enhair, of which he has a large house 

 bedded out. Cannot supply the de- 

 mand for his elegant fronds. W. M. 



BEGONIA METALLICA. 



In your issue of May 19th, page 9.j 1, 

 W. M. mentions a picture I showed 

 him of Begonia metallica. I am sure 

 he will be glad of my correcting hirn 

 as to dimensions. It should read 17 

 feet tall and 14% through, it was the 

 subject of a special supplement in the 

 Gardeners' Magazine, Mav Tth, 1892.
