The Weekly Florists' Review. 



FEBRUARY 15. 1900. 



FROSTED WINDOWS. 



Editor Review: — I have just been 

 reading Ivera's article on frozen win- 

 dows and thonght possibly my way of 

 keeping the frost off would interest 

 your readers. 



I use an electric fan, and it keeps 

 the window perfectly clear, even with 

 the mercury 36 degrees below zero. 

 It also keeps the window free form 

 steam or sweat and at a cost of only 

 ?1 per month. 



I know of only one drawback to this 

 method. It takes too much time to 

 explain to people "why you keep that 

 fan going all the time." "Does that 

 keep the plants from freezing?" "Do 

 they grow better with a circulation 

 of air?" "Do you keep the leaves 

 waving all the time to attract atten- 

 tion?" etc.. about forty times a day. 

 But it's refreshing to come up the 

 streets past whole blocks of windows 

 frozen solid and find your own per- 

 fectly clean and full of brlgnt flowers.

WE HAVE received a circular from 

 W. Atlee Burpee & Co., the Phila- 

 delphia seedsmen, in which they offer 

 a cash prize of $20 for the best col- 

 lection of vegetables grown from Bur- 

 pee's seeds at each state and county 

 fair held in the United States during 

 the summer or fall of 1900. There are 

 other prizes, and a sweepstakes of 

 flOO to the one winning the greatest 

 amount of prizes for products of Bur- 

 pee's seeds in 1900. It is a remark- 

 able offer and we imagine the amount 

 of prize money will run into large 

 figures. The circular is interesting 

 reading. It will no doubt be mailed 

 to anyone addressing a request to W. 

 Atlee Burpee & Co., Philadelphia, Pa. 



CHATTANOOGA. TENN.— .John Kar- 

 sten has erected a fine office and work- 

 room in addition to two houses for 

 palms and ferns. He is much encour- 

 aged by the steady increase in business 

 and intends to further enlarge his 

 place next summer. He noted an in- 

 creased demand for pot plants during 

 the holidavs. 



Ethol Prnril^or Absolutely ihe Best Pink Cama- 

 LIIICI UlUbKCli tion ever offered the trade. 



A f.ict fiiUv borne (nit byilsre oiH. being efiually good 

 with Ciai?. Hill and myself tan assurance that it is not 

 a success ni one soil and a failure in another.) By its 

 havinp fjeen shown at the flower shows and clubs since 

 early in September (an assurance tliat it is not a good 

 late carnation but an all season variety.) 



In color, size, fragrance and stem it is just what the 

 "storemen" want. In habit, constitution and freedom of 

 bloom It is iust what the grower wants. It produces 

 more flowers to the square Toot than any otlier known 

 variety, and is never out of crop from September to July. 



With iS.ooo stock plants to work from there is no dan- 

 ger of it being overpropagated, and all orders entrusted 

 to me will be tilled with cuttings selectetl from the plants 

 and aUo in filling the order, by myself, thus doubly as- 

 suring good stock. Honest sample blooms furnished 

 prepaid at $1 .00 per dozen, amount deducted from all or- 

 ders for loo or over, t'p to date every sample excepting 

 one out of several hundred sent has brought an order.
