The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



MARCH 22, 1900. 



CANANDAIGUA, N. Y. 



A. C. Cappon. our leading florist, has 

 done an extensive business in cut 

 flowers this winter. He is a good 

 grower and finds ready sales for his 

 stuff. 



J. Balson, who went into the florist's 

 business on Mechanic street last sum- 

 mer, has erected several new green- 

 houses. He is doing a good business 

 in cut flowers and lottuce. He has 

 raised four full crops of lettuce from 

 the same bench and from the same soil 

 since Nov. 1st, 1899. 



The firm of D. Rhine & Son. in the 

 suburbs, have some of the finest roses 

 and carnations and the finest bench of 

 lettuce I ever saw. Most of their trade 

 is wholesale. They have from nine to 

 ten thousand hybrid roses ready for 

 sale this spring. 



J. Jones, private gardener at Brig- 

 ham Hall institution, has a fine bench 

 of carnations, the largest flowers 1 

 ever saw. Triumph, Duhme, America 

 and other varieties. 



Bobbie McKurr, gardener to Mrs. J. 

 Mecknie, has an elegant bench of 

 Bridesmaid roses, also fine carnations, 

 Frances Joost, America and Mrs. 

 Bradt. 



Scotchman, gardener to F. A. Meck- 

 nie. "What is name or whaur is hame 

 I dinna care to tell," anyway he has a 

 fine bench of violets; they have been 

 full of bud and blossoms since October 

 last and not a spot of disease can be 

 seen from one end of the bench to the 

 other. He also has a fine bench of car- 

 nations, Scott, Albertini. Duhme, 

 Crane, America, Mary Wood, Flora 

 Hill, Painted Lady, etc. Also a nice 

 strain of Chinese primroses in bloom.
