The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



OCTOUKR 10, 1001. 



ONCINNATL 



Various Items. 



After the rush of last week trade 

 seems to bo slow, yet it is well up to the 

 average for this time of the year. Sup- 

 ply and demand are about equal except 

 for the poorer grades which have to be 

 sacrificed at job lot prices to clean them 

 up. 



Carnations are still very scarce; it 

 seems that they are very late with every 

 one. Mrs. E. T. Grave, of Eiehmond, 

 Ind., is still sending in good sized cuts 

 of her carnation Doroth_v. They are Al 

 and the price is from $2 to $2.50 per 

 100. jSIeteors are 2 to 5 cents and Beau- 

 ties 50 cents to $2 per dozen, and not 

 enough to supply the demand by half. 



We are having ideal weather. Several 

 light frosts have killed the more tender 

 plants but this kind of weather is 0. K. 

 for indoor stock. 



The first mums of the season made 

 their appearance in this city October 1. 

 The variety was Lady Fitzwygram 

 (white), shipped to E. G. Gillett by Mrs. 

 E. T. Grave of Richmond, Ind. Al- 

 though this variety is small in size and 

 rather short stemmed its earliness makes 

 it sell. They brought 15 cents. As yet 

 the supph- is limited, but by the middle 

 of the week 1 think there will be enough 

 to go around. 



Hariy Baer was badly used up in a 

 runaway accident last week. He was 

 thrown from his wagon and, besides 

 breaking several bones, he received a 

 number of severe wounds. He is now 

 resting easy and hopes for an eaily 

 recovery. 



On Saturday last the first mum of the 

 season appeared, to be passed upon by 

 the chrysanthemum committee. It was 

 shown by Nathan Smith & Son, Adrian, 

 Mich. ; name, Opah ; parentage, Lady 

 Fitzwygram x Marquis de Montniort; 

 Jap. ref. ; color, blush-pink, turning to 

 pinkish-white when fully opened. Very 

 good sized flower for this time of year, 

 stem and foliage only fair. It is better 

 than any of the extra early varieties I 

 know of, and is to be recommended. The 

 blooms sent were cut October 4. 



Mr. Martin Reukauf and IMr. Walter 

 Mott were visitors this week.

KEEPING GALAX LEAVES. 



Replying to "Subscriber," the best way 

 to keep galax leaves is to put them in 

 cold storage at a temperature of, say, 33 

 degrees. The ordinary florist can keep 

 them in good condition in an ice chest, 

 packed in original cases; that is, if they 

 are properly packed.

We have received a copy of the fall 

 catalogue of "Wholesale Floral Supplies" 

 issued by E. H. Hunt, Chicago. Bulbs, 

 seeds, wire work, ribbon and supplies of 

 all kinds are olTered in great variety. 

 There are many original half tone en- 

 gravings from photographs and the cata- 

 logue is well printed on fine paper. It 

 is one of those catalogues that should be 

 preserved for reference. 



Geneva, N. Y. — Alfred E. Robinson, 

 for the last fourteen years assistant man- 

 ager for the W. & T. Smith Co., has re- 

 moved to Boston, where he becomes of- 

 fice manager of the Shady Hill Nursery 

 Company.
