The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



June 16. 1898. 



ROCHES7 ER, N. Y. 



With flowers of every description in 

 plenty and only an ordinary every- 

 day demand, prices have dropped to a 

 very low figure. The June weddings 

 up to date, numerous as they were, 

 have not proved very profitable to our 

 florists. Most of them were conspicu- 

 ous only for simplicity in floral decora- 

 tions, though on some tew occasions 

 the church and house were profusely 

 adorned with immense quantities of 

 flowers, but only the cheap outdoor 

 stuff, such as paeonies. snowballs and 

 spiraeas in long branches, and pale 

 colored irises were employed in these 

 decorations; a great amount of work 

 and a big show for little money. Now 

 the paeonies are getting scarcer and 

 the price for them has experienced a 

 little advance. The dry weather pre- 

 vailing for the last three weeks has 

 cut short the season for German iris, 

 but the Spanish and English irises are 

 coming on fast. 



The big, hardy poppies, delphiniums, 

 tall campanulas and spiraeas of all 

 sorts are plentiful, and these are th^ 

 kind of flowers which are in demand 

 here with us in early summer. Of 

 course, there are always some people 

 w-ho prefer a few choice roses or car- 

 nations to any of the bulky outdoor 

 flowers, but even the most fastidious 

 will at times take a fancy to a bunch 

 of heuchera sprays, single pyrethrums 

 in bright colors, the dainty Spanish 

 iris, or the lemon lily, campanula and 

 lychnis of various sorts, when they se^ 

 them on the counter. 



The past two weeks our growers 

 have had a busy time. Some have 

 cleaned their rose houses and are 

 planting young stock. Many chrys- 

 anthemums are in the benches already, 

 growing fast. In other places the 

 work of cleaning and repairing the 

 benches is well under way, and in a 

 few days all the rose houses in our 

 neighborhood will be filled with 

 healthy young plants. Carnations in 

 the field are doing fairly well. They 

 had a good start when first planted 

 and the dry spell lately has not affect- 

 ed them so far. Neither have the 

 violets suffered in any way yet. A few 

 little showers last Saturday were wel- 

 comed by every grower. K. 



THE Park and Outdoor Art Associa- 

 tion holds its annual meeting at Min- 

 neapolis. Minn., next Wednesday. 

 Thursday and Friday. A very inter- 

 esting program has been arranged and 

 the people of Minneapolis will wel- 

 come the visitors with great hospital- 

 ity. 



TUSCOLA. ILL.— Mr. W. A. Jutkins 

 has purchased the business of the Tus- 

 cola Floral Co. and combined it with 

 his own. He uses the title "Tuscola 

 Greenhouse, W. A. Jutkins, proprie- 

 tor." 



BLOOMINGTON. IND. — Mrs. A. J. 

 Summers will build a greenhouse this 

 summer. 



Carnations in Compost 



A grower reports: 



"I have used Jadoo Litjuid on Carnations in comjiost, and find — 

 ]st. That the fragrance is increased. 



That the flower is larger and the stem stiffer. 



The dealer who sells what 1 raise reports that my Carnations 



last longer than any he receives. 

 1 only use a pint of Jadoo Liquid to fifty gallons of water, but 

 have used it freciuently." 



The above is only another endorsation of our claim, that if used 

 intelligently, Jadoo w-ill do all we claim for it.
