The Weekly Florists' Review* 



EVANSVILLE, IND. 



The first i)ait of last week \vc had 

 three good rains and since then business 

 has been better. 



We have sown turnips in our carnation 

 patch, and a lot more where we had a 

 garden, and will try to raise two crops 

 on the same ground in one season. Tur- 

 nips will come in mighty handy this 

 winter in place of potatoes, which are 

 now selling at 80 cents to $1.25 per bush- 

 el; small ones selling at 70 cents. 



Good roses retail at $1 per dozen, but 

 are scarce. They are doing well, but do 

 not seem to be pushing toward the glass 

 very rapidly. Some varieties have more 

 or less demoralized foliage; leaves 

 spotted, with a scorched appearance, as 

 though held to the fire. Do not know 

 whether it is caused by eel worms or 

 nematodes, or .some other sort of "toad." 

 It makes the foliage look badly. Perhaps 

 some rose expert can shed a little light 

 on the matter. Would feel under many 

 obligations if some one suggested a rem- 

 edy that would remedy. 



Field-grown carnations sell at 30 to 

 3.5 cents per doz. ; those grown under 

 glass a little higher, as they are some 

 larger with longer stems. There seems 

 to be very little stem-rot among carna- 

 tions so far; no rust to speak of, and 

 plants, as a general thing, look well. 



Chrysanthemums are looking well, but 

 they seem to have lo.st their grip some- 

 what in this locality; not much demand 

 for them. Think they will eventually 

 peter out entirely, both" as plants and cut 

 flowers, except perhaps a few grown for 

 use in the greenhouses. They do not pay 

 for the space thev occupy in the houses.

LOS ANGELES, CAL. 



Articles of incorporation have been 

 filed by the "California Rose Companv," 

 of this city, with capital stock $15,000. 

 The corporation absorbs the interests of 

 and is successor to the Howland Nursery 

 Company and the California Rose Com- 

 pany. The incorporators are: C. F. How- 

 land, R. H. Wilson, S. M. Wile, 0. S. 

 Howland, C. L. Canfield. The corpora- 

 tion starts in with an established busi- 

 ness, both wholesale and retail. While 

 the articles of incorporation empower 

 the company to engage in any and all 

 branches of business pertaining to the 

 nursery, florist and seed trade, the en- 

 tire business is at present field-grown 

 rose bushes and will probably be con- 

 fined to this for some time to come. The 

 company is at present growing more 

 largely than any concern on the coast, 

 and expects to eventually produce more 

 field-grown rose bushes than anv house 

 in the United States. This season their 

 stock consists of about 130 varieties of 

 roses, including the best of both hardy 

 and tender sorts. 



Sedalia, Mo. — At the ICssouri State 

 Fair, held here Sept. 9 to 13, first prizes

 city, for collection of greenhouse plants, 

 collection of Rex begonias, geraniums, 

 palms, ferns, foliage plants, cacti, bloom- 

 ing plants, floral designs, cut roses and 

 hand bouquets. 



Lyons, Ia.— Mrs. M. E. Eaton has 

 opened a finely fitted up store at the 

 corner of Main and Fourth streets, 

 which will be in charge of Miss Dell 

 Eaton. The greenhouses will be con- 

 tinued as before.
