The Weekly Florists' Review, 



JUNE 23, 1898. 



ROCHESTER. N. Y. 



Business for the past week was quite 

 lively. Small decorations for wed- 

 ding parties were numerous, and tlie 

 general demand otherwise was ahead 

 of last week, especially in funeral 

 work. Good tea roses were a little 

 scarce, though the deficiency was easi- 

 ly overcome because the market is 

 flooded at present with all grades of 

 H. P.'s, which retail at all prices from 

 15 to 75 cents per dozen. 



Carnations are still very fair with 

 most of our local growers, and veiy 

 plentiful at times. Sweet peas are 

 offered at .$2.50 per 1,000 and retail at 

 (» to 75 cents per 100. Gladiolus have 

 held their regular price for the last 

 two months, and none too many are 

 in the market. 



The demand for out door or hardy 

 flowers is far better this year than it 

 was formerly, everything in this line 

 goes, and often fancy prices are paid 

 for some of the rarer things, which are 

 offered only in limited quantities. 



The weather continues dry but 

 rather cool. We had a slight frost onr 

 night last week. Sweet pea flowers 

 were damaged for that day. Plants in 

 the field are beginning to suffer for 

 want of moisture; for almost two 

 months we had no rain, excepting two 

 or three light sprinklings, barely 

 enough to lay the dust for one day.

Carnations in Compost 



A grower reports: 



"I have used Jadoo Liquid on Carnations in compost, and find — 

 1st. That the fragrance is increased. 

 2nd. That the flower is larger and the stem stiffer. 

 3rd. The dealer who sells what I raise reports that my Carnations 



last longer than any he receives. 

 4th. I only use a pint of Jadoo Liquid to fifty gallons of water, but 

 have used it frequently." 



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

 intelligently, Jadoo will do all we claim for it.
