The Weekly Horists' Review. 



MARCH 15, 1900. 



dominate every department here and 

 make this establishment always a 

 profitable place for the florist to visit. 

 Large quantities of young roses in 2 

 and 3-inch pots and a number of spa- 

 cious houses were devoted to them es- 

 pecially. They enjoy a heavy cata- 

 logue trade, besides much commercial 

 business. Mr. Robert George, who has 

 charge of the plant and seed depart- 

 ments, is always ready with his quietly 

 expressed thoughts and suggestions, 

 which are valuable as they are the re- 

 sult of close study and analysis, and 

 which makes the time of the florist 

 visitor pass quickly and profitably. 



In one of the first houses visited a 

 mass of Gloire de Lorraine begonia in 

 flower was an impressive object les- 

 son, and we predict a large sale for 

 this new favorite next season. They 

 were working up a large stock of it. 

 The new geraniums were here in large 

 numbers; but very few were in flower, 

 so could not judge them in their in- 

 dividual bloom. As our time was lim- 

 ited we only looked into the forty 

 greenhouses which comprise the estab- 

 lishment. 



Herman A. Hart's place is another 

 orderly, well kept plant. Hart be- 

 lieves in order firstly, secondly, and 

 thirdly, and his belief is practically 

 carried out. Easter stock looks well, 

 but some of the lilies show the same 

 disposition to disease as elsewhere. 

 A fine batch of primroses and cinera- 

 rias were in flower, and other promis- 

 ing stock was coming on. 



The stores are looking very brilliant 

 just now. J. M. Gasser is cutting very 

 fine carnation blooms, some of the 

 best coming into the city. Some very 

 well done azaleas, lilacs and rhodo- 

 dendrons in pots were recently noted 

 in his window, which is always at- 

 tractive, with choice stock always in 

 cvidcncB. 



Smith & Fetters, on the opposite 

 side of the street, always have a pretty 

 and attractive window display, and 

 they carry a choice stock of flowers. 

 For Washington's birthday they got 

 up a unique decoration of Jerusalem 

 cherry trees which were well berried, 

 and clusters of the same branches ar- 

 ranged with hatchets tied with nar- 

 row cherry ribbons. It makes a much 

 more effective simulation of the cherry 

 tree episode than Ardisia crenulata 

 does, which is generally used for this 

 purpose. This firm believes in rib- 

 rons, and immense, stunning bows 

 are used in profusion on bouquets, 

 baskets and plants. Their choice 

 valentine boxes were tied with pink 

 taffeta ribbon. No. 30, two separate 

 bands around and tied in swell bows. 



Mrs. Ella G. Wilson used real ap- 

 ple blossoms in a wedding decoration. 

 They were forced into bloom especi- 

 ally for the occasion lately. Bulbs, 

 azaleas, smilax and a batch of lilacs 

 are all in first class condition at this 

 place. 



Wm. Brinker has recently doubled 

 his store room capacity, and expects 

 to do a large business this year in 

 seeds and florists' supplies.
