The Weekly Florists' Review. 



JANUARY 4. 1900. 



CALLA LILIES. 



"B. E." has trouble with his callas, 

 but it is too long a communication to 

 publish. He says they were potted 

 in good soil, but the tops have rotted 

 and in some cases the bulbs also. I 

 have never seen anyone tail in grow- 

 ing these plants. In a low tempera- 

 ture they may not flower profitably, 

 but they are the easiest ncssible thing 

 to grow. Those two applications of 

 nitrate of soda may have been too 

 strong. 



I would advise washing off every 

 particle of soil and washing the corm 

 and roots in the ammoniacal mixture 

 and then repotting. They like a rather 

 heavy soil with a 5th or tith of decay- 

 ed animal manure, and a night temper- 

 ature of 60 degrees. The calla has al- 

 most disappeared in favor of the Har- 

 risii lily, yet this winter we are fre- 

 quently asked for them. What you 

 don't have is sure to be in greatest de- 

 mand. WM. SCOTT. 



THEY LIKE THE REVIEW. 



You have made a splendid paper of 

 The Review. JAMES MORTON. 



Clarksville, Tenn 



I would not be without The Re- 

 view at any price. 



"C. F. W. GENTEMANN. 

 Quincy. 111. 



Am always pleased with The Re- 

 view. PAUL NIEHOFF. 

 Lehighton. Pa. 



I am well pleased with the paper. 

 The classified advs. are a great con- 

 venience. H. M. SEALY. 



Lyndbrook, N. Y. 



The Review is O. K. We especially 

 like the alphabetical advs.. which is a 

 very handy thing for a busy florist. 



Paris, 111. H. D. CALDWELL. 



The Review is up-to-date. 

 Toronto, Ont. R. MEARNS. 



The Florists' Review Is a good, num- 

 ber one paper, and we wish you the 

 success you certainly deserve. 



J. H. WADE & CO. 



Evansville, Ind. 



The classified plant advertisements 

 in your paper are well worth the price 

 of the subscription, for one has not 

 got to hunt the paper through to find 

 just what he wants. Then one has 

 that extra time saved to read the good 

 things in the first half of the paper. 

 I wish you the best of success for the 

 coming year. M. S. WORDEN. 



North Adams, Mass. 



The paper has been in many in- 

 stances a great help to us in our busi- 

 ness and we would not be wiihoiit it. 

 We wish you abundant success. 



BOEHRINGER BROS. 



Bay City, Mich. 



I am very much pleased with The Re- 

 view and I wish vou every success 

 with it. FRED C. WEBER. 



St. Louis. Mo. 



I could not get along without the 

 paper, as it contains so much valuable 

 advice and hints. GEO. DOBBS. 



Auburn, N. Y. 



I think The Review is keeping its 

 place well in front. And it has my 

 sympathy, as any other would have 

 that breaks away from monopolists' 

 lines. JOHN B. FERGUSON. 



Pittsburg, Pa. 



Enclosed find one dollar to renew 

 my subscription to The Florists' Re- 

 view, the best of the trade papers. 



Bridgeport, 0. JAMBS COX. 



I cannot keep house without it. 

 Swope, Mo. F. W. FELTEN. 



I think your paper the best con- 

 nected with the trade and would not 

 do without it. W. SCOTT. 



St. Paul, Minn. 



I am extremely well pleased with 

 The Review. The make-up of each 

 issue is as near perfect as can be. 

 The classified ads have been a great 

 help to me {and to many others, 1 

 presume) in buying stock. 



N. H. PADGETT. 



Unadilla, N. Y. 



I wish The Review the fullest suc- 

 cess, which it so thoroughly deserves. 

 Carlisle, Pa. JESSE ROBBINS. 



May you prosper in the future as In 

 the past, and may all of us live many 

 years to Review it. 



St. Louis, Mo. F. J. FILLMORE. 



THE FLORISTS' MANUAL. 



After reading Mr. Wm. Scott's 

 Manual, we wish to say that we con- 

 sider it without equal as a book of 

 reference for busy florists. 



GEO. M. KELLOGG. 



Pleasant Hill, Mo. 



Am well iileased with the Manual. 

 It is a practical, everyday helper, con- 

 cise and to the point. 



W. A. KENNEDY. 



Milwaukee, Wis. 



Am very much pleased with the 

 book; it is very handy for reference. 

 Macomb, 111. F. "e. BONHAM. 



Unlike so many of our books, it 

 has the very flavor and essence of ac- 

 tual experience. L. H. BAILEY. 



Ithaca, N. Y. 



We find the book very useful as a 

 reference in answering the many ques- 

 tions about plants that we receive al- 

 most every day, ■ 



Philadelphia. JOS. KIFT & SON. 



It is the best book of the kind ever 

 published. There is more in it than 

 in any other book I have ever seen. I 

 am delighted with it. 



Chicago. JOHN THORPE. 



The copy of the "Florists' Manual ' 

 was duly received. I am very well 

 pleased w-ith same. The more I read 

 it the better satisfied I am with it, and 

 there are one or two articles alone in 

 it that are each worth all you ask for 

 the book, for everything is made so 

 plain and all details are right to the 

 point. I trust you may have a good 

 and ready sale for the same. 



M. S. WORDEN. 



North Adams, Mass. 



The only fault to be found with it 

 is when you get reading it the mid- 

 night oil is liable to run low and you 

 iiave to go on to gas or reluctantly 

 break off, either going to bed or first 

 taking a look over the houses to see 

 if the temperature tallies with the 

 Manual. GEO. S. OSBORN. 



Hartford, Conn. 



Mr. Scott's superb work, "The 

 Florists' Manual," was indeed worth 

 waiting for. When compared with the 

 amount of practical inforrcation itco.i- 

 tains, the selling price, $5.00, seems a 

 mere bagatelle. 



Oakland, Md. H. WEBER & SONS. 



We are in receipt of "The Florists' 

 Manual" by Mr. Scott and may say it 

 is the right book for the florist, pub- 

 lished at the right time. It is what we 

 all need. BOBBINK & ATKINS. 



Rutherford, N. J. 



Am much pleased with the Manual. 

 It is just what I have been looking 

 for. Something that we can under- 

 stand, and enjoy reading. 



M. NAUMAN. 



Etna, Pa. 



SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS.

 Carmody. Evansville, Ind.; J. F. Sulli- 

 van. Detroit. Mich., and A. B. Cart- 

 ledge, l^hiladelphia, Pa., members of

 period of three vears from Januai'v 1, 

 1900. WM. J. STEWART, 



Secretary. 



TORONTO, ONT. 



Christmas trade was all that could 

 be desired. Everything was cleaned 

 up. Roses, carnations and violets 

 were Al, but there was not enough to 

 fill orders, 'and a greater quantity 

 could have been sold at Christmas 

 price.-. M. H. G. 



ASHTABULA, O.— Local gardeners 

 have formed the .Xshtabula Lettuce 

 Growers' Association, which is to be 

 co-operative. A general agent will 

 handle the product.
