The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



BOSTON. 



Trade is good — very good indeed. Tlic 

 trouble is there is but an awful little 

 of it, consequently a small order seem.-i 

 good indeed. Asters now come nearer 

 being plentiful than anything else, and 

 even they are not so much in evidence as 

 usual at this date. Roses, carnations 

 and sweet peas are not over-plentiful nor 

 of very good quality; small white flow- 

 ers, lilies, gladioli," etc., rather scarce, 

 but the limited call makes prices low on 

 everything. Smilas, asparagus and oth- 

 er green material not moving at all. 



Apropos of the gladioli question, Mr. 

 F. W. Fletcher is growing 40,000 bulbs of 

 the new one, Groff's Hybrid, shown at 

 the New York convention last year. Mr. 

 Shaler of Weston has the New England 

 agency and Mr. Fletcher grows this 

 amount for him. The expected crop of 

 bulbs is about all sold. The blossoms are 

 larger, rounder, fuller, than older varie- 

 ties, and are of a much more hardy char- 

 acter. 



I believe the demand for red roses 

 has been better than usual here for sum- 

 mer trade. There has been a good sup- 

 ply and I think they have gone out very 

 well indeed. J. McFarland of Nortli 

 Easton is the first one to appear on the 

 scene with new crop American Beauties. 



The auction sale of stalls in the co-op- 

 erative market will not take place until 

 'Saturday, September 14. 



For real exhilarating vacation reading 

 let me recommend the Saturday Evening 

 Post. Here is an extract from a love 

 story in the last issue: "Her father was 

 a florist and necessarily a millionaire. 

 He only parted with his lily of the valley 

 for its weight in gold, and his American 

 Beauties for their weight in diamonds." 

 "He" was a grower, too!

VIOLET HOUSES-HEATING. 



No. 1. — I have a house 16 feet wide 

 running east and west. On which side 

 of this house would be best to make a 

 violet house with sash, (lean-to house) 

 the north or south? 



No. 2. — Do you think that S runs of 

 4 in. pipe (4 on each side and one end) 

 are suflBbcient to heat a rose house 20x40. 

 the south end glass and north end 

 against shed 9i ft. to ridge? 



StJNNY Kansas. 



lu answer to the questions asked by 

 'Sunny Kansas" — a lean-to violet house 

 against a house running east and west 

 should be on the south side in order to 

 get the full benefit of the sun, which is 

 so necessary for violet growing. 



If the rose house referred to as "20x 

 40" has the roof and one end only of 

 glass, it would probably contain about 

 1,000 square feet of glass, which would 

 require at least 350 feet of 4-inch pipe 

 to maintain 5.5 degrees, and I think the 

 coils he describes will contain very near- 

 ly the desired amount and if the house 

 is well built, and boiler has full capaci- 

 ty, should give the desired results.
