The Weekly Florists' Review. 



JULY 20, 1899. 



PHILADELPHIA. 



Notes. 



A scarcity of Areca lutescens is pre- 

 dicted for the coming fall and winter. 

 This report is indorsed by some of 

 the most representative growers of 

 Philadelphia and vicinity. 



Geo. A. Strohlein and family sailed 

 for Europe Ju-ly 13th, on the steamer 

 Breman, to be gone about six weeks. 

 Mr. Strohlein's trip is a business one 

 in the interest of H. A. Dreer Co. 



Our visitors the past week were: 

 Messrs. A. Leuthy, Boston; Frank 

 Knapper, Yonkers, N. Y.; T. E. Ed- 

 wards, Bridgeton, N. J.; Alex. Mann, 

 San Francisco, Cal.; Henry Eichholz, 

 Waynesboro, Pa., and Mrs. Siebold, 

 Lancaster, Pa. 



The H. A. Dreer Co. have broken 

 ground for another acre of glass, which 

 will consist of nine even span houses, 

 150x21 feet; also a corridor house 

 200x21 feet. The tables are to be con- 

 structed of iron and slate; the purlins 

 to be of 1% inch pipe which will serve 

 as the water pipe as well. The houses 

 will be fitted with the Evans Challenge 

 ventilating apparatus. 



The Market. 

 Beauties. $5 to $12.50; Brides. Me- 

 teors and Maids, $1 to $4; Kaiserins, 

 $2 to $5. Cannas from 50 cents to $1; 

 some of the fancy varieties, $1 to 

 $1.50; valley $3 to $4; adiantum, 75 

 cents to $1; smilax, 10 to 15 cents; 

 plumosus, 35 to 50 cents; asters, $1; 

 sweet peas, 25 to 40 cents. R. 



WASHINGTON. 



Up to the present, business is a lit- 

 tle better than last year in spite of the 

 shortage of good stock, especially good 

 roses. Beauties and Meteors can no 

 longer be had; Maids and Brides bring 

 3 to 4 cents. Carnations of all kinds 

 are very scarce and bring $1 per 100. 

 On account of the intense heat out- 

 door stock is very poor. Some dah- 

 lias are in the market and bring $1.50 

 per 100; asters are also making their 

 appearance and sell fast at $1.50 per 

 100. Some growers have ceased to 

 bring in anything in the way of cut 

 stuff. 



The growers in general have finished 

 planting, with the exception of mums. 

 There seems to be a great difficulty in 

 rooting cuttings; they all seem ' to 

 damp off. One grower out of 10,000 

 cuttings struck, rooted only 7 per cent 

 and it seems to be a general thing all 

 around. 



The Gude Bros, are experiencing 

 great difficulty in getting their glass 

 and lumber, which they ordered 

 months ago at an advanced price, but 

 when it does come there will be a hot 

 time with saws and hatchets, as the 

 boys know how to do it. 



N. Studer and his former clerk, J. F. 

 Granor, have left for an extended trip 

 through the Alps in Switzerland. 



Robt. Craig spent a day with the 

 boys last week. F. H. KRAMER.
