The Weekly Florists' Review. 



OCTOBER 13. 1S9S. 



BALTIMORE. 



It is with a feeling ot great expec- 

 tancv that the craft of Baltimore are 

 now" viewing the near approaching 

 season of toil. Both wholesaler and 

 retailer uaving Spent the entire sum- 

 mer in making repairs and getting 

 things in shape are now in readiness 

 for a prosperous and busy season of 

 which the present outlook predicts an 

 early start. 



Cut flower trade has picked up 

 considerably. Stuff is plentiful and la 

 fine condition; though prices are still 

 a little off shade, which of course will 

 be righted upon the arrival of a good 

 killing frost. 



Chrysanthemums and violets have 

 this week made their debut, but in 

 both cases it would have been more 

 desirable had this premature advent 

 been deferred for several days longer, 

 as the mums are still small and not 

 thoroughly colored, while the fra- 

 grance of the violets is their only re- 

 deemable feature. 



Palms and fern-coasters are begin- 

 ning to sell and with a few excep- 

 tions our florists report sales ahead of 

 this time last year. 



Owing to the death ot Mr. Robert 

 Rennert. proprietor of the '■Hotel 

 Rennert." of this city, funeral work 

 was this week unusually in demand, 

 there being as high as sixty floral de- 

 signs made for that funeral alone. 



As yet few large wedding orders are 

 being" booked, though quite a number 

 of small ones have been filled since 

 the first of the month. C. F. F. 



NEW YELLOW CARNATIONS. 



Gold Perle is the name of a new yel- 

 low carnation that originated with the 

 Morris Floral Co.. Morris. 111., and of 

 which flowers have been sent us. The 

 flower is of good size, finely formed, 

 a very pleasing shade of yellow, with 

 perfect calyx and the petals nicely 

 fringed. We are very favorably im- 

 presseu with it and believe it to be 

 wea worthy of trial. It is a cross be- 

 tween Buttercup and a seedling. The 

 originators say it is now in its third 

 year's trial. 



SPRINGFIELD, ILL. 



At the recent state fair the South 

 Side Floral Co., H. P. Buckley, man- 

 ager, captured all the blue ribbons on 

 the different varieties of roses, and 

 second premium on the exception. 

 They were equally successful in the 

 carnation classes. Their display of 

 double fringed petunias and new Mam- 

 moth verbenas attracted even more 

 attention than the fine roses and car- 

 nations. They have specially fine 

 strains of these.

 your latest Model Camalion Sup-
