The Weekly Florists* Review* 



FEBRUARY 22, 1900. 



due to the absence from the city of 

 President Hartshorne and other mem- 

 bers. 



Albert Fuchs has been sued for 

 breach of promise and the lady places 

 the damages at $15,000. 



The store of Robert Schenck, on 

 Thirty-first street, has been closed. 



Bassett & Washburn have a plant of 

 Mrs. Bradt carnation that is bearing 

 three colors of bloom. In addition to 

 the type, one bloom is pure white and 

 another is pure red. 



The bowlers seem to have weakened 

 in the struggle for league honors. 



The pilgrims returning from Buffalo 

 say the carnation exhibition was a 

 ■wonder. 



BOSTON. 



The Market. 



Fairly good demand and not quite 

 goods enough to meet it tells the whole 

 story for the past seven days. Small 

 roses for funeral work particularly 

 sought, and red roses, reported plenti- 

 ful and lower last week, have got over 

 that condition, and prices on them 

 have risen to meet the occasion; $S 

 now for best Beauties and about $3 for 

 best pink and white. The first arrival 

 of Jack roses was noticed on Friday, 

 the Itith. Pinks rose a point or two, so 

 that Scott sold for 2% cents and white 

 at 2% and C cents. Bulb goods are 

 thinking of demanding an increase, 

 but no definite move yet. 



Notes. 



Geo. A. Black, of Brighton, has been 

 suffering with an attack of jaundice. 

 Is out now, but has an extremely jeal- 

 ous look. 



W. H. Elliott underwent an opera- 

 tion at the hospital, on Tuesday of last 

 week, for appendicitis, and is progress- 

 ing in good shape. 



Monday morning. There is an in- 

 crease of supply of cut bloomis today 

 and buyers have taken note of it.

BALTIMORE. 



An Associated Press dispatch brings 

 us information that Robert Halliday, 

 "of Iowa," has been elected president 

 of the American Carnation Society. 

 Not much! We know better than that 

 here. There is only one Robert Halli- 

 day, who cannot be concealed by any 

 such deceptive terms, and he is of 

 Maryland, not of Iowa, vintage. Who- 

 ever wants to know w^hat manner of 

 man he is — and the grower of every 

 house of carnations from Hudson Bay 

 to Key West, and from Newfoundland 

 to Alaska ought to know it and bim — 

 let them read his description by your 

 astute correspondent, William Scott, 

 who described him thus in the Review 

 of November 23, 18'J9: ''Now, I don't 

 want to lay on taffy, and am not going 

 to do it, when I say that of all good- 

 hearted, open-handed, royally hospita- 

 ble young men I ever met, Mr, Bob 

 Halliday takes the bakery, and its en-

tire honesty and naturalness is the 

 pleasingest part of it." 



That is a true bill, with naught set 

 down in malice and naught set up liy 

 favor. 



Halliday is modest as a girl, hand- 

 some as a picture, knowing as a coon, 

 and just as good as he is modest and 

 handsome and knowing all the way 

 from the sole of his feet up through 

 bis six feet four of active, well propor- 

 tioned manhood to the crown of his 

 shapely, well poised, well filled head. 



Most of his merits and virtues come 

 to him by proud descent and honest in- 

 heritance; the others he has seized 

 "first chance" as he passed through 

 life. 



Our whole gardening community is 

 complimented by his selection, and, of 

 course, honored by the choice of Balti- 

 more as the place of meeting for the 

 association next year. RIX.
