The Weekly Florists^ l^eview* 



November 28, 1901. 



BUTTE, MONT. 



The Butte Floral Co. gave a chrysan- 

 tliemum show in their store recently that 

 attracted many visitors. They had about 

 1,600 blooms on exhibition, including all 

 the best standard varieties, and quite a 

 number of pot plants. It ^vas a fine dis- 

 play and would have surprised some of 

 the eastern florists, no doubt, to have 

 seen such a splendid showing of line 

 flowers and plants away up here in the 

 Kocky Mountains. The local people 

 turned out in force and the attendance 

 was immense. 



All the plants and flowers were raised 

 at the company's greenliouses at Greg- 

 son Springs, where Bill_v Day says he has 

 the devil as his fireman. There are no 

 fires around the plant, the entire heating 

 being done with water from the hot 

 springs. Even the water tower is boxed 

 in and heated by this natural hot water 

 to keep the pipes from freezing and 

 everything comfortable. When this nat- 

 ural hot water enters the heating pipes 

 at the houses it has a temperature of 

 198 degrees. There is a gasoline pump- 

 ing engine to pump water into the tank 

 when there is not enough wind for the 

 windmill, and this is the only approach 

 to a fire on the place. The hot wat«r 

 from the springs contains too much soda 

 to use in watering when cool, though it 

 can be used when largely diluted with 

 other water. 



The greenhouses are up-to-date in 

 every respect and the stock is in fine con- 

 dition. The carnations are as good as 

 can be seen anywhere and the mums are 

 strictly fancy. There are six hou.ses and 

 a lean-to. Xe.vt summer the company 

 will erect four more larger houses and 

 one will be devoted entirely to the Lib- 

 erty rose. 



Tlie store is now in charge of Mr. O. 

 A. C. Oehmler, formerly of Kew York 

 and Washington, and it has been re- 

 modeled since he took charge, being 

 quite up-to-date in its appointments. 

 The fittings equal those of many Xew 

 York stores and the scenery outside, with 

 snow-capped mountains in the distance, 

 is a decided improvement over a view of 

 the Sixth Ave. elevated. 



The company is composed of .Tames H. 

 King, formerly a banker of Philipsburg, 

 and Wm. L. Day. formerly of Law Bros. 

 & Day. They report business excellent 

 and beyond expectations. 



Law Bros, are also doing a good busi- 

 ness. There are only three flower stores 

 here, the State Nursery having a branch 

 here. The Columbia Gardens, a summer 

 rsort ten miles from the city, have some 

 glass. Rambler. 



Waco, Tex. — The sixth annual chrys- 

 anthemum show of the Texas State 

 Floral Society brought out an excellent 

 display. Though most of the exliibits 

 were from local amateurs, there were 

 some good flowers and plants from out- 

 side points, these being mainly from 

 James Morton, Clarksville, Tenn.; Nanz 

 & Neuner, Louisville, Ky., and E. H. 

 Michel. St. Louis. Henry Nanz, of Louis- 

 ville, Ky., was judge. The leading win- 

 ners of prizes in the open to all classes 

 were Anna West, James Wolfe, W. L. 

 Eeese, .Tames Morton, E. H. Michel. 

 Nanz & Neuner's display was not for 

 competition. 



Jamestown, N. Y.— The Walter Mott 

 Seed & Bulb Co. has been incorporated 

 with a capital stock of $25,000.

i The Mrs. E. A. Nelson 



■ bids fair to become the comniercial standard pink car- 

 nation. It is a healthy grower, a free and continuous bloomer, 

 and it is sure to thrive wherever grown. Read the following 

 from a prominent grower who tested one dozen plants : 



Shabox. Pa.. November I9th, 1901. 

 S. S. SKIDELSKY. DEAR SIR: The twelve plants of the •'Nelson" I have made fine 

 plants in the field and is certainl.v a healthy grower, with good habit, recoverinir ver.v quickly 

 after transplanting, making a quick growth and coming Into bloom early. In short, the 

 Nelson is an ideal grower. The stem Is elegant, the flower fine, the color is good and one 

 that will sell. I believe the Nelson is all right all around. 



Very respectfully. JOHN MURCHIE.
