The Weekly Florists* Review* 



LANCASTER, N. Y. 



The thermometer recorded 90 de- 

 grees in the shade where stood the vet- 

 eran W. J. Palmer, with the bloom of 

 perpetual youth upon his jolly face, 

 directing the erection of two new iron 

 houses each to be 125x19 feet which 

 with a corridor house will be planted 

 with the unsurpassed Daybreak car- 

 nation. 



This style of house will supersede 

 the wooden one. Mr. Palmer reasons 

 that, with the low price of iron, the 

 length of durability and the fact that 

 it is so much lighter are evidences in 

 favor of the iron house. The work is 

 being done by his own men, superin- 

 tended by Will Palmer, who is a born 

 mechanic. 



The new boiler house is 47x34 feet, 

 22 feet in height. Four .50 H. P. steam 

 boilers have replaced the former heat- 

 ing power. An octagon shaped chim- 

 ney 8 feet through and 77 feet in 

 height will afford the desired draught. 

 The roof will be flat and cemented to 

 make the structure fireproof. 



The cellar for storing the day's cut 

 is a capital one, 10x35 feet, 8 feet tall, 

 and with vaulted brick roof, thick 

 stone walls, cement floor upon blue 

 clay which is the nature of the subsoil. 

 A shaft carries off any excessive damp- 

 ness. 



Stock out of doors needs rain. Car- 

 nations are healthy. Messrs. Palmer 

 have a white Daybreak and a sport 

 equal to Victor when at its best. They 

 do not expect to surpass their former 

 triumphs in growing Daybreak, Mr. 

 Palmer being of the opinion that_the 

 plant does not require too much light 

 and the old wooden houses just suited 

 it but it was a case of pull me down or 

 I shall fall. 



I noted one house 200x20 feet with 

 chrysanthemums very promising and 

 the well-known Meteor will be grown 

 as extensively as usual. Cannot have 

 a surplus of that exquisite rose and 

 Barney has the secret of growing it 

 to perfection. W. M.

Geo. Cooke reports an excellent sea- 

 son. Cemetery work has increased the 

 demand for well grown llowering 

 stock. Quite recently he built a very 

 convenient oflice facing the street, 

 which has added to the appearance of 

 his snug place.
