The Weekly Florists' Review. 



March 27. 1902. 



SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS. 



Plant Registration. 



Messrs. Schmidt & Botley, Springfield, 

 Ohio, who registered new rose "America" 

 on November 30th, 190], advise the sec- 

 retary's office that they have learned that 

 an old rose, introduced many years ago 

 under the name America, is still in exist- 

 ence and catalogued by some dealers. 

 They ask, therefore, to have the registra- 

 tion entry changed from America to 

 "Young America," by which name their 

 new rose will hereafter be known. It is 

 described as a hybrid tea, the result of 

 Duke of EdinburghxMeteor. Buds large, 

 pointed; flowers large, double, fragrant; 

 color deep scarlet crimson ; foliage large, 

 dark, leathery. 



This voluntary action on the part of 

 Messrs. Schmidt k Botley, after they 

 had gone to considerable expense in cat- 

 aloguing and advertising their new rose 

 under the name first given should, and 

 doubtless will, secure for them the com- 

 mendation and gratitude of the entire 

 trade. 



A. L. Thome, Flushing, N. Y., reg- 

 isters carnation "White Layde" (Flora 

 Hill X Mrs. Bradt) : color clear Ivor-- 

 white; size three and one-quarter inches 

 and over; stems long and stiff; calyx 

 does not split; steady bloomer. 



William J. Stewart, Secretary. 



DALLAS. TEXAS. 



A delightful raiu has fallen at last, 

 and all nature is blooming like Eden ; 

 peach, apricot and all early-blooming 

 trees are one solid mass of bloom, the 

 wild flowers are in e\-idence, and the 

 glad springtime is on in full dress, and 

 every one thinks life worth living in 

 Texas. 



The florists are all busy; trade has 

 been unusually brisk for this time of the 

 year, and all report good sales. The 

 Haskell Avenue Floral Co.'s houses are 

 one solid mass of bloom. They have as 

 fine carnations as you will find any- 

 where. They grow F. Hill, Glacier and 

 White Clouii for white; Scott, Lawson, 

 E. Craig for pink ; Crane and Chicago 

 for red. These sorts do grandly in this 

 clime. They have some dozen or more of 

 the newer sorts on trial, some of which 

 will be grown largely another season. A 

 finer lot of Easter lilies, hyacinths, vio- 

 lets, azaleas, cyclamen and general as- 

 sortment of Easter stock is hard to find 

 under one lot of glass. 



This firm is having a heavy mailing 

 trade in small roses and the general class 

 of catalogue plants, and several hands 

 are kept busy in this line. Mr. Miller 

 has just purchased a valuable property 

 on Main street and let the contract for a 

 fine brick building, which he will have 

 completed in a fe(W months. He intends 

 to fit np one o^ the finest cut flower 

 stores in the South. Lone Star. 



The wholessrte price list of seeds, 

 bulbs and supplies for florists, spring 

 of 1902, issued by W. W. Barnard & 

 Co., Chicago, covers a very comprehensive 

 list of trade supplies and should be in 

 the possession of every florist. ' Their 

 general retail catalogue for 1902 is also 

 an advance on previous issues, larger, 

 well printed, freely illustrated, and list- 

 ing a very large number of items. Any 

 one wishing these catalogues can no 

 doubt obtain them on application to the
