TheWeeidy Florists' Review* 



June 27, 1901. 



On the 18th a hail storm lasting about 

 ten minutes went over the greenhouses 

 of Fritz Franko, C. nnssjaoi.'! r and oth- 



iipiy 



K .liA, tlirr,- linii- no rain 

 •'..r atl.T the stnrni. It was 

 [■nonicnnn. Some of the hail- 

 stones were liorn-sha|)eil. 2i and 3 inches 

 long, weighing 3 and 4 ounces and more. 

 No signs of the storm were visible and 

 everybody was outdoors; the old folks 

 reading on the porches; the younger gen- 

 eration playing base and other balls on 

 the streets. The rush for home was 

 great and horses on the roads started 

 a wild runaway pace. Sweet peas and 

 other soft stuff was considerably dam- 

 aged and looked like torn dresses. 



The florists who were hardest hit are: 

 H. Krinke, between 400 and 500 lights, 

 insured; Warrendale Floral Co., same; 

 F. Schulze, between 300 and 400 lights, 

 no insurance; L. L. May & Co., exact 

 number not stated, but large; C. Buss- 

 jaeger, between 250 and 300 lights, in- 

 sured; F. Franke, between 40 and 50 

 lights, insured. 



E. Eowe, a vegetable gardener, with 

 large cucumber houses, suffered most, as 

 lots of the trailing plants were simply 

 cut to pieces.

Since Memorial Day business has been 

 good, until last week, when there was 

 a decided falling off. 



Nearly all the growers have thrown 

 out their old roses and finished replant- 

 ing, consequently roses are scarce. The 

 earlier planted houses are looking well 

 and soon will be able to give a crop. 

 This applies especially to Beauties. 



The Van Bochove Bros., who have fin- 

 ished planting, have this year devoted 

 two of their new houses to Beauties, 

 which are looking fine. 



Carnations are very plentiful; the de- 

 mand for them is lessening every day. 



Field crops are looking well and there 

 has been just about the right amount of 

 rain to make nice stocky plants for 

 benching early. 



We had a visit from Mr. Skidelsky, of 

 Philadelphia, who reports business good. 

 The cheery smile he is wearing is ample 

 evidence that "the sun of bright prosper- 

 ity is shining all over him." 



Celery men are already shipping their 

 first crop, which is of a superior quality. 

 There is a large and ever increasing de- 

 mand for this toothsome summer deli- 

 cacy, quantities being shippr'd as far 

 south as New Orleans. The later crops 

 are also looking well. Ribes. 



Bellefontaine, Ohio. — Miss Maud 

 Fichthorn, who has had a flower stand 

 in this city for the past eight years, has 

 sold her business to Poole &" Purllant. 

 The latter have started to build another 

 house, 10x44. Not very large, but they 

 say it is all they care" to stand for at 

 the present price of glass.
