The Weekly Florists' Review* 



May 1. ISiJj 



KANSAS CITY, MO. 



Business lias been running smoothly 

 and a healthy eondition of affairs is re- 

 ported from all sources. Plenty of good 

 stock is to be had at reasonable figures, 

 which enables the retailers to keep up 

 attractive window displays. Violets are 

 through blooming, but were a fine crop 

 until a week ago. The Easter lily still 

 lingers with us, and a good supply is 

 promised up to Decoration Day. 



For the inauguration of the new city 

 otficials on the 21st at the City Hail 

 there was the customary display of bou- 

 quets, emblems, etc., and the Council 

 chambers were decorated with i)alms and 

 American Beauty roses. Among the 

 floral tokens were noticed a rooster, 

 a horseshoe and several large baskets, 

 all handsomely arranged. Arthur Newell 

 got the whole or<ler, which was carte 

 blanche, and since then we learn that a 

 trip to England in time for King Fid- 

 ward's coronation i.s contemplated. 



A fearful windstorm, almost reaching 

 cyclonic proportions, visited us last 

 week and played havoc with early vege- 

 tation. We had hniied to see a good 

 heavy rain, but it ])assed over into Kan- 

 sas, leaving us as dry now as it was 

 last fall. The season is backward and 

 we need fully si.\ inches of water liefore 

 the ground can be worked for the sum- 

 mer planting. Outdoor tulips in the 

 parks and on the ])aseo are a failure, 

 same as last spring, and a disappoint- 

 ment to everybody. 



The nurserymen report an increase in 

 the sales of their stock in the city in 

 spite of the unfavorable season, but a 

 decided falling off in sales in the rural 

 districts. H. .1. M. 



CLIMBING CLOTHILDE SOUPERT 



In the Review of April ITtli we no- 

 tice that the Dingee & Conard Co., West- 

 grove, Pa., have the following to say 

 about Climbing Clothilde Sou(iert rose: 



"This rose originated with the P. J. 

 Berckmans Company, Augusta, Ga., who 

 offered it for several years, and we se- 

 cured stock from them. We offered it 

 in our catalogue for 19IU, giving it a 

 color plate, thus attraiting attention to 

 its good qualities. We believe that we 

 were the first catalogue house to offer 

 this variety, etc. ' ' 



As to the claim of the 1). & C. Co. be- 

 ing the first to catalogue this rose, would 

 state that this rose originated in our 

 grounds, at Augusta, Ga., in lS9(i (orig- 

 inal is still growing vigorously). We 

 catalogued the above-mentioned rose for 

 the first time in 1899. We sold plants 

 to the D. & C. Co. in .Tanuary, 191)0. 

 Therefore, you will see that this rose 

 was advertised by us two years before 

 being advertised by the 1). & C. Co. 

 P. J. Berckmans Co. 



We have received from Alexander 

 ■McConnell.. Xew York, a copy of his 

 catalogue containing ' ' A limited descrip- 

 tive list of seleete<l hardy evergreens, 

 deciduous trees and shrul)s, herbaceous 

 and perennial plants, adapted for im- 

 provement and beautifying of the sur- 

 roundings of country homes and es- 

 tates." It is very neatly printed and 

 handsomely illustrated and is an excel- 

 lent model for those issuing catalogues 

 of this sort.
