The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



JANUARY 25, 1900. 



The first Lilium Harrisii have made 

 their appearance in the market and 

 wholesale at $4.00 per dozen. 



Lacazette & Peterson will open a 

 new store at 416 14th street, Oakland, 

 this week, and will try their luck. Mr. 

 Lacazette is one of our growers and 

 Mr. Peterson has been leading man for 

 Pouyal, Polk street, S. F. Hope they 

 will make a success of it. 



F. W. Nunnemacher has purchased 

 the nurseries owned by C. Wieder- 

 sheim, at Piedmont. Some improve- 

 ments will be made soon, such as one 

 carnation house, 25x135. Mr. N. is 

 forging ahead rapidly and it is to be 

 hoped he will keep it up. 



Mr. E. Gill has built himself a hand- 

 some residence at his nurseries. West 

 Berkeley. The house contains 14 rooms 

 and cost $6,000. J. N. 



WHITE SPOTS ON CARNATION, 



LEAVES. 

 What causes white spots to appear 

 on carnation foliage? They grow and 

 look healthy, but in some places on 

 the benches they become spotted. 



S. T. S. 



If some of the affected leaves or 

 branches had been sent for examina- 

 tion, one could form an opinion; but 

 as it is, one can only guess. 



It may be a fungus; it may be only 

 a simple drying up of the leaves in 

 spots, caused by injudicious, irregular 

 treatment. I am inclined to believe it 

 is the latter. The plants may prob- 

 ably be grown too soft. A sudden 

 burst of sunshine after cloudy weather 

 will cause them to wilt, and dry spots 

 may be left in the leaves, and, besides, 

 some places on the bench may be 

 dryer then the rest, and this will cer- 

 tainly help to aggravate the injurious 

 effects. 



Again, It it is of no parasitical nat- 

 ure, as caused by fungus or bacteria, it 

 is, as I would call it in field culture, 

 caused by climatic extremes, but un- 

 der glass It is simple mistreatment.

CARNATIONS REGISTERED. 



"The Crawford," in color variegated 

 red and white, a sport from McGowan, 

 has been growing four years and keeps 

 getting better every year; a fine, clean 

 grower, blooming all the season 

 through. 



"The Copley," a rich cerise and a 

 sport from the Crawford; grown two 

 years and has proven a splendid grow- 

 er, being more robust than the Craw- 

 ford.

ST. JOSEPH, MICH.— August Loef- 

 fler, whose greenhouses were burned 

 recently, has settled with the insur- 

 ance companies for $2,600. It was 

 discovered that much of his property 

 was not covered by the policies and 

 his loss is estimated at $1,500 to 11,800 

 more than the insurance.
