The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



AUGOST 2], 1902. 



BOSTON. 



An old elassii! relates how ;i rooster 

 approached the nest occupied by his 

 sitting mate, stood on his ri^ht leg, 

 closed his left eye and asked her what 

 she expected to hatch oiit of a brick- 

 bat, two rusty nails and an 'ili! door 

 knob. She promptly replied "A brick 

 block, old man! You go right on dig- 



ging worms! 



I " 



Now the business here 



gives mo proportionately just about as 

 much material to work with as the old 

 hen had, but her hopefulness exceeds 

 mine. I fear I can not hatch up much 

 of a structure. However, goods are not 

 so plentiful and I am not so sure that 

 customers are either. One thing I notice 

 concerning the customer. If he buys 

 a few cents worth of material and really 

 offers to pay for it at all, he proffers a 

 big bill that he has been saving up 

 ever since last spring, aud a small s;nti- 

 dicate has to be found tn break it. 

 The decrease in material has not been 

 so marked that prices have advanced 

 upon anything, as they still remain very 

 low. Two or three rose growers have 

 begun cutting from new bushes, and one, 

 at least, upon a second crop, and later 

 varieties of asters are becoming more 

 numerous. It is about time for the 

 sweet pea crop to go out of fashion, but 

 no movement that way is noticeable. 



The Wabau Koses played bssc ball 

 with a picked nine of Whitinsville flor- 

 ists and beat them severely, and claim 

 they will do the same unto the Brim- 

 stone Corners from Park street upon the 

 next set-to, coming. off in a few weeks. 



Pritchard's salesman, Denning, is off 

 to the White Mountains for a couple 

 of weeks. 



F. W. Fletcher is back from a visit of 

 some length to Nantucket with a quaint 

 story of that quaint old place, and Wm. 

 Anderson returns from Halifax even 

 more enthusiastic over the beauties of 

 that place, especially its public garden. 



Dan Iliffe is mourning the loss of his 

 seven-months old baby, and how sincere- 

 ly only those who have sustained a simi- 

 lar loss can realize. 



W. H, Elliott will very soon begin to 

 move Beauties into that 800x54 house 

 of his up on the slant of the Madbuy 

 Hills, Another week is now the limit 

 set. 



F. H. Mead's host of friends arc de- 

 lighted to see him looking so extremely 

 well in contrast to his w^an appearance 

 of a very few years ago. We now hope 

 he will be able to disseminate his line 

 of floral supplies during the gre^iter part 

 of the century.

COAL AND COKE. 



Is there any economy in using gas- 

 house coke at 6 or 7 cents a bushel over 

 egg hard coal at $7.50 a ton? 



How long could I leave a coke fire on 

 a cold night? I have heard that coke 

 burns out the grate bars faster than coal. 

 Is that so? G. A. S. 



Replying to G. A. S., at the price 

 named coke would be certainly cheaper 

 to use than coal, the relative value of the 

 two as a fuel being very nearly pound 

 for pound, provided the coke is absolute- 

 ly dry. It will, however, be necessary 

 to fire very frequently with coke, which 

 will necessitate the employment of n 

 night foreman,
