The Weekly Florists* Review. 



MAV 10, lSOt>. 



BANGOR, ME. 



Funeral work has kept Adam Sekeu- 

 ser very l)iisy since Easter, which was 

 the best on lecord. The dull weather 

 prevailing makes flowers scarce. 



Walter Mott arrived on the 5th in a 

 snow storm and said it made him pine 

 for his sunny home at Riverton. We 

 hope for bright weather very .soon, 

 when planting will be rushed. 



Carl Beers has struck upon a novel 

 plan in holding weekly auction sales, 

 well advertised. I cannot state wheth- 

 er or not the plan is a success. 



F. H. Moses is making preparations 

 to open his store at Bar Harbor and 

 anticipates a flourishing season. 



Wm. Miller, superintendent of the 

 Mount Desert Nurseries, thinks the 

 Paris Exposition will be a strong coun- 

 ter attraction. Next year he hopes to 

 take in the Pan-American. He could 

 make a fine display at Buffalo of pines 

 alone, of which he has a complete col- 

 lection. 



J. E. Killeu, of New York, was a re- 

 cent caller and gave an interesting 

 talk on the lily disease, chiefly the 

 cause. The effect we are acquainted 

 with. He sees a remedy in sight, which 

 he will impart later on. The lily prob- 

 lem is an all important one with the 

 craft, the consensus of opinion being 

 that Japanese stock is the purest and 

 best to force, but as the time of re- 

 ceipt cannot be depended upon, Har- 

 risii will yet be forced in some num- 

 bers. Those who kept the bulbs grow- 

 ing from the start have been the most 

 successful. M.

Business is still very good, there be- 

 ing plenty of funeral work. Flowers of 

 all kinds are plentiful. Some very good 

 lilies are to be seen yet, but roses are 

 getting small and are badly mildewed. 

 Some very fine carnations are coming 

 in, such as Triumph and Bradt, which 

 are of fine quality. The florists are 

 through planting^ their carnations out 

 in the field. 



Jacob Schultz will rebuild several 

 houses this coming summer. Joseph 

 Coenen & Co. report trade very .^ood 

 and Wood & Stubbs, seedsmen, are 

 still very busy filling orders for seeds 

 and bulbs. E. G. Reimers reports his 

 Easter trade the best in years. Hy 

 Fuchs is cutting some very fine carna- 

 tions and has lots of funeral work. 

 William Walker has some very fine 

 Kaiserin roses just coming in. C. H. 

 Kunzman is building a new carnation 

 house. C. W. Reimers' place is in fine 

 shape at the present time. Wm. Mauu 

 is still up to his ears in business — 

 funeral work, lots of it. 



Some very fine beds of tulips are to 

 be seen in Cave Hill cemetery this 

 season and also some very fine beds of 

 tulips in St. Louis cemetery.

COATESVILLE, PA.— James Brown 

 has lately added a mushroom house. 

 His plant houses are in fine shape.
