TheWeekly Florists' Review. 



KALAMAZOO, MICH. 



Various Items. 



Since the advent of mums the demanil 

 for roses and carnations has fallen off 

 considerably. Mums this year were of 

 superior qiiality and very rich in color- 

 ing, but the interest in them seems to 

 be'^dyins out. Perhaps they are being 

 overdone: demand was slower and prices 

 not nearly so good as last year. They 

 arc nearly over and no one is sorry. 



Trade altogether does not compare 

 favorably with the same season last 

 year. Hoses and carnations are looking 

 well and there will be plenty of all kinds 

 of stock for Thanksgiving. Violets are 

 looking well for a heavy cut in the near 

 future. 



The Dunkley Floral Co. are cutting 

 some fine roses and carnations. Their 

 stock looks well with good prospects for 

 tlie winter. 



(!. Van Bochove & Bro. have had their 

 store tastefully redecorated inside and 

 out. Their carnation crop looks as if it 

 w(Uild be right in on time for the holi- 

 days. Like most other growers they 

 liave a "seedling" bee buzzing in their 

 honnet. Roses are doing well and prom- 

 ise a tine cut of high grade stock later 

 on. They have one house planted to 

 .Adiantuni from which they are cutting 

 (juantities of fine fronds. 



We had a visit from Mr. Skidelsky, 

 who is booking large orders for the new- 

 carnation. Nelson. Kibes.

Washington, D. C. — There has been 

 a very interesting and instructive exhibi- 

 tion of chrysanthemums at the green- 

 houses of the Department of Public 

 Grounds near the Washington monument 

 and it has been viewed by a host of vis- 

 itors during the past few weeks. 



TsLiP, N. Y. — A chrysanthemum show 

 was held here November 8, tlie exhibitors 

 being all local people. The prize-winners

Is a book of 224 large pases (same size as those 

 of the Florists' Review), and contains about 200 ar- 

 ticles on commercial plants and cultural operations, 

 each giving " the meat " only, from the personal ex- 

 perience of a thoroughly practical man who is in 

 daily touch with each department of the business 

 and who has that rare quality of being able to tell 

 others what they want to know. The articles 

 are arranged alphabetically, like those in an ency- 

 clopedia, and in an instant one can turn to the ob- 

 ject upon which light is desired at the moment. The 

 book is illustrated by over 200 fine half-tone engrav- 

 ings. It is
