The Weekly Florists' Review* 



NOVEMBER 16, 1S99. 



A NEW SALVIA. 



We have received from Messrs. J. 

 M. Tliorburn & Co., New York, a 

 handsome colored picture of a new 

 variety of Salvia splendens which 

 originated with them and which they 

 have named "Silver Spot." The flow- 

 ers are very large, of an Intensely 

 bright scarlet, and the leaves are rich, 

 soft green, with light sulphur or cream 

 colored spots liberally sprinkled over 

 them. It certainly is a very striking 

 thing, and being offered by such a 

 reliable firm, gives confidence in its 

 merit. 



The salvia has been very largely 

 grown by Messrs. Thorburn & Co. and 

 they have given much attention to its 

 improvement. "Bonfire" was one of 

 their introductions and they predict 

 that "Silver Spot" will eclipse that 

 variety in popularity. 



ART PRINTING. 



Messrs. John Breitmeyer & Sons, 

 Detroit. Mich., issue announcements to 

 their customers several times during 

 the year and on each occasion the 

 printed matter used is of the very 

 highest class. 



We have before us their latest in 

 this line and it certainly is a gem. It 

 is an invitation to their tenth annual 

 flower show. The cover is an original 

 design in colors, the central figures be- 

 ing a satyr holding a spray of orchids 

 in his hand and a Japanese maiden 

 holding a chrysanthemum, while other 

 flowers appear as details in the pic- 

 ture. It is a real work of art. 



The text is very attractively written, 

 and in addition to the invitation there 

 is given a good deal of interesting in- 

 formation about the curious structure 

 of orchid flowers and the way in which 

 cross fertilization is effected.

ELECTRIC HEADLIGHTS. 



Once more electricity has taken the 

 place of other illuminants. The Chi- 

 cago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad 

 has just commenced to equip locomo- 

 tives with electric headlights. The fa- 

 mous Fast Mail and the Denver Limit- 

 ed travel at such a high rate of speed 

 that a stronger light than the old style 

 has been found necessary to safety.
