GROVE CITY, PA. 



J. E. Black built a new house 20.<200 

 this fall and it is planted with carna- 

 tions and sweet peas. He also built a 

 bailer room 16x18, with work room 

 above, and put in a new steam boiler 

 to heat the new building. He expects 

 to remoA'e his old houses out of town 

 next summer, so that all may be heat- 

 ed by one fire. 



Butted glass was used on the new 

 house, as in nearly all his houses, and 

 it gives him much more satisfaction 

 than the lapped glass. 



Carnations are his main crop and 

 the bulk of the cut goes to the Pitts- 

 burg market. 



SPRINGFIELD, MASS.— Mr. B. .1. 

 Shaw, of St. James avenue, lost his 

 range of two houses (each 20x100) by 

 fire December 15. One was filled with 

 carnations in full bud for Christmas 

 and the other with roses. The fire is 

 supposed to have been started by 

 tramps. The loss is partly covered by 

 insurance. 



Always mention the Florists' Review when 

 writing advertisers. 



GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. 



Since Christmas the weather ba.s 

 lieen wild and blustering, the mercury 

 dropping to Ifi below, shortening up 

 the crop so that the customary drop in 

 prices did not materialize. 



The death of a prominent railroad 

 ollicial M. H. Kogers, called for a lav- 

 ish use of flowers, affording the florists 

 an opportunity to work off the rem- 

 nants of their bulbo\is stock. 



New Year's trade was brisk, yet tame 

 compared to Christma.s. Carnations 

 still remain firm at 50 to 75 cents per 

 dozen, with Irenes selling at 25 cents 

 more than the best. Roses, $1.50 to 

 $2: Romans and narcissus, 75 cents. 



Saturday niglit fire destroyed the 

 plant of Charles Chadwiek, on Burion 

 avenue. Ten houses with their entire 

 contents were ruined. Cause of 'he 

 fire unknown. Loss $6,000, with no in- 

 surance. GEO. F. CK.\BB. 



AMERICAN BEAUTY ROSE. 



Can American Beauty roses l>e 

 grown profitably in the same house- 

 with Brides and Maids? 



What is the best yellow tea rose? 



S. S. P. 



American Beauty requires a higher 

 temperature than Brides and Maids, 

 and I do not believe it can be grown 

 with profit in small numbers. Unless 

 a house can be devoted to the Beauty, 

 would advise that it be left alone. 

 Temperature, 58 to 60 degrees at night. 



There is no yellow tea rose that can 

 equal Perle for forcing. A. O. T. 



MIDDLETOWN, CONN.— Christmas 

 trade was good here, yet there was 

 enough of everything to go around in 

 cut flowers, except carnations and pa- 

 per whites. Roses sold for $2 and $2.25 

 a dozen; Roman hyacinths. 6ii cents; 

 carnations, 40 cents; violets, $2 50 and 

 $3. Holly was good and sold well. .\11 

 of the wreaths handled by the florists 

 here are made by the farmers, with the 

 exception of Beebe's. He makes his 

 own, and they are by far the best and 

 bring the higher price. Palms were in 

 less demand this year than former 

 years. Small ferns sold well, also Bos- 

 ton ferns, but not as well as antici- 

 pated. Flowering plants were in good 

 demand, but they were not to be had. 

 Business kept up good all day Christ- 

 mas. Mr. Stednian, the florist, died nn 

 December 16. His death was caused by 

 a cold contracted while out gathering 

 Christmas greens. The business con- 

 ducted by him will be discontinued 

 after January 6. F. 



FAIRBURY, ILL.— There was a de- 

 cided increase in Christmas trade and 

 flowers sold for much higher prices 

 than in former years. The principal 

 call was for colored carnations. Our 

 carnation crop was nearly at its best 

 and we had a large cut for the holi- 

 days. JNO. MILNE & SOX.
