The Weekly Florists' Review, 



AUGUST 10, ISM. 



ST. PAUL. 



A recent trip to Minneapolis was as 

 usual full of pleasure and very inter- 

 esting. E. -Nagel & Co.'s place looks 

 as sleek and clean as though dusted 

 every morning with a feather duster. 

 They are still cutting good carnations 

 from benches planted last fall, the soil 

 being kept clean and the plants in 

 good shape, two Important factors in 

 growing carnations either in winter or 

 summer. Jacob Hartman's place is in 

 good shape. He is building a fine 

 dwelling house near his range of glass, 

 and from all indications has enjoyed a 

 very prosperous season. C. A. Smith 

 is erecting a large rose house, 35x110 

 feet. He uses butted glass, 18x18, and 

 considers that the only proper way of 

 glazing. This house when completed 

 will give him a total of about 40,000 

 square feet of glass. His houses are 

 located on a side hill and are among 

 the finest in the state. He still clings 

 to the Bennett and Siebrecht, and con- 

 siders them as profitable as any he 

 grows. At Fred Busch's, the vegetable 

 king, we found cucumbers by the mil- 

 lions, that being his principal crop at 

 this season of the year. He has re- 

 cently adopted a very cheap and effect- 

 ive shading. He uses clay dissolved 

 in water and puts it on with a hose 

 by means of a force pump. This shad- 

 ing is very effective, is quickly and 

 cheaply applied, and can be easily re- 

 moved by the use of water. His pump 

 cost $6.00. As shading is a perplexing 

 question to many it would be well to 

 make a note of this. 



VIOLETS. 



We have received an excellent pho- 

 tograph of a house of violets planted 

 in the new bottomless violet pots at 

 the establishment of Messrs. Crabb & 

 Hunter. Grand Rapids, Mich. The 

 plants certainly make a splendid show- 

 ing for thus early in the season. 



MORRISTOWN, N. J— R. A. Elliott 

 is building two fine houses, 100x20 feet, 

 which will be used for roses and car- 

 nations. With the new houses he will 

 have about 35,000 feet of glass which 

 will be used to grow stock for his re- 

 tail store. 



H. C. Holmes is repairing his old 

 houses and building one new one. 



E. A. Holton reports a very good 

 season. 



LANSING, MICH.— J. A. Bissinger 

 will erect a new greenhouse at his 

 place on Capitol Ave.

In trying new strains for the purpose of im- 

 proving my own, frequently as few as a dozen 

 plants are selected from $5.00 worth of seed, as 

 worthy a place in my seed bed, this is rather 

 expensive for me but gives a rernarkahly fine 

 strain for my customers.
