The Weekly Florists' Review* 



SEPTEMBER 29,-1; 



DAHLIAS. 



We have received from Mr. L. H. 

 Read, Grand Rapids, Wis., a box of 



dahilia blooms, including several seed- 

 lings of his own. Of the named varie- 

 ties sent Lyndhurst is a very striking 

 red; Black Prince, a very dark crim- 

 son; Frank Smith, a pretty combina- 

 tion of crimson and pink; Orange 

 King, a golden orange; King of the 

 Dwarfs, a purple; Mre. Hawkins, a 

 combination of . yellow and purple; 

 Unique, a combination of orange and 

 purple; Wilhelm Miller, wine color; 

 Amphion, yellow and dull pink; Oban, 

 a mixture of yellow and purple. 



Among the seedlings No. 39 and No. 

 50 are very good yellows, and No. 2 

 a compact double flower of a pretty 

 shade of dark red. 



VICTORIA, B. C. 



J. T. Higgins is moving his green- 

 house nearer town to a more favorable 

 location. 



G. A. Knight, one of the pioneer 

 nurserymen and florists of this city, 

 who got the Klondike fever last sea- 

 son, has returned after getting as far 

 as Lake Bennett, and as a relic of his 

 trip, brought back some wild red cur- 

 rants that he says were the largest he 

 ever saw. He now has several seed- 

 lings grown from them, and they may 

 be heard from later. M. J. H. 



nNE CARNATIONS 



Mr. G. M. Naumann, Cleveland, 0., 

 sends us a photograph of his house of 

 Daybreak carnations taken April 18 

 last. The plants are simply a mass of 

 buds and flowers and we question 

 whether a fuller crop could possibly be 

 obtained. Mr. Naumann may well be 

 proud of the splendid showing made 

 by this lot of plants. 



HORNELLSVTLLE, N. Y. 



W. A. Wettlin is preparing for a 

 busy season and is well equipped to 

 handle it. His grower. Carl Sackman, 

 is making a strong effort to win the 

 Yellow Fellow, and if he is as success- 

 ful in this as he is in growing cycla- 

 mens, Syracuse will not get the covet- 

 ed wheel. W. M. 



THE VERY BEST RETURNS. 



The advertisements you have been 

 running for us in the Florists' Review 

 have given us the very best returns; 

 in fact, more results than all the other 

 trade papers combined. 

 Yours very truly,
