The Weekly Florists' Review. 



MAY 10, 1!W0. 



and half a dollar a hundred Is about 

 the limit on the best now. There has 

 been a flush time on Easter lilies, but 

 now they are not crowding in so last 

 so that prices have struggled to 'J and S 

 cents each. Small white flowers for 

 filling funeral designs plentiful enough 

 at fair prices: smaller bulb goods l:old 

 ing out very well yet. He<lding plants 

 are getting ripe, but the weather is j ei 

 a little cool to move them swiftly. 



City Forester Doogue is using a 

 heavier appropriation than usual I'nd 

 the amount of work being done upon 

 the common and public garden is ..im- 

 ply enormous. It seems he has over 

 30,000 trees under his charge. Many of 

 them are getting a "shave and a hair- 

 cut," and much work upon grass land 

 is being done, and there is already a 

 good display of flowers. 



The May exhibition of flowers, fruit 

 and vegetables held in Horticultural 

 Hall was very fine and attracted a 

 large crowd of admirers. 



An attractive feature of the show- 

 was a vase containing a large bouquet 

 composed of blooms of the new ros? 

 "Queen of Edgely," originated at tht 

 nurseries of the Floral Exchange in 

 Philadelphia. 



It is a pink American Beauty. Ths 

 beautiful flower is a full blood sister of 

 the American Beauty, having the same 

 parentage, the same grace, fragranc? 

 and habit of her lovely sister, the only 

 distinction between the: two lieing the 

 color. 



There was a good display of vege- 

 tables. B. T.

"FAKE WRITE-UPS." 



As reports show that the class of 

 journals ( ?) mentioned below have be- 

 gun sending their letters to florists as 

 well as manufacturers, the following 

 report of an association of trade jour- 

 nals, of which the Florists' Review is 

 a member, may be timely: 



"At a recent meeting of the (^hieagj Trade 

 Press .\ssociallon. an <_rKanizatiun '\ hose 

 meinl>ershij> comprises the most intluential 

 trade journals in llie West, it was det^rminsd 

 to take- some action to pi*olect manu actiiring: 

 and mercantile firms from tlie depredation of 

 the 'fake write-up men." 



"A number of alleged tradi journals, sev- 

 eral of them being printed in the Southern 

 States, send out thousands of circular lett'eis 

 to merchants and manufacturers, enclosing 

 proofs of ingeniously preiiaied write-ups. 

 Rach per.son tn whom a letter is directed is 

 led to believe tlat he has been selected b;-- 

 cause of the i.romlnence of this firm. The men 

 whom it is sought to victimize are informed 

 that no charge will be made for the printing 

 of this complimentary notice, but that sam- 

 ple copies will he sold at I'o cents per copy, 

 or at 8 cents per copy in thousand lots. 

 These journals have no legitimate standing in 

 the community, and represent nothing ex- 

 cept the desire of their managers to extort 

 money from business men. The circular let- 

 ters are so shrewdly worded and the office of 

 publication is usually so far removed from 

 the I'ersotis to whom the letters are sent, that 

 many firms have been victimized. .Mmost ev- 

 ery Uei)artment of Industry is reijresenteil b>' 

 one or more rej.uttlile journals, and manu- 

 facturers and business men generally are ad- 

 vised to communicate with publishers of wh-im 

 they have somi- knowle Ige before being led 

 into fake schemes. 



"The several paiers loniiirlting the mem- 

 bership of the Chicago Trade Press .Associi- 

 tion have agreeil to print thi-* ^tUement with 

 a view of protecting their i»atrons. and busi- 

 ness men gent-rally, fruni los-; thr ugh such 

 deception."
