The Weekly Florists' Review* 



OCTOBEB 16, 1902. 



LONDON, ONT. 



The weather has been mild but dull, 

 ■(vith an abnormal amount of rain. Octo- 

 ber 9 was the first severe frost of the 

 season. Prior to that all kinds of bed- 

 ding plants continued their simimer ap- 

 pearance. Notwithstanding that the 

 weather has been mild there has been a 

 shortage of all kinds of flowers, and the 

 demand has far exceeded the supplj'. 

 Eoses are coming in a little more plen- 

 tifully and of better quality. Carnations 

 are still below the demand but the qual- 

 ity is daily improving, and with the 

 relief brought by the daily increased sup- 

 ply of chrysanthemums it is tJiought 

 that the quantity will soon be sufficient 

 to go around. 



Coal, the all absorbing topic, is about 

 as scarce as the proverbial hens' teeth, 

 and none of the craft have a supply wortji 

 mentioning. To some who burn hard 

 coal it is a serious question, serious 

 enough to all, for even those who burn 

 slack cannot get their supply in. The 

 price has advanced to, slack, $4 to $5 

 on cars; lump, .$8 to $10; smokeless, 

 $12, and a very little hard has been sold 

 lately at .$15, and considered a great 

 favor to get it at that. 



Messrs. Gammage & Sons report a 

 large demand for general stock and an 

 unprecedented retail demand for all 

 kinds of bulbs, which they have gone 

 into extensively. 



Jlr. William Gammage has recovered 

 from his severe attack of bronchitis and 

 is now able to give his whole attention 

 to business. 



Tlie London Horticultural Society is 

 making its fall delivery of bulbs, giving 

 each member six hyacinth bulbs. 



LOND. 



DES MOINES, lA. 



Trade is looking up a bit since thie. 

 cooler weather set in and the number of 

 weddings makes a brisk demand for 

 roses and carnations, as mums have only 

 just appeared, and they are small and 

 not extra in quality. 



There has been some enlarging of 

 gi-eenbouse room in the city this fall, W. 

 L. Morris has built three houses and I. 

 W. Lozier is building on his ten-acre 

 tract east of the city. As I have not 

 had time to call on "him, I cannot say 

 how many houses he is putting up. He 

 is going to open a new store on the west 

 side of the river in the very near fu- 

 ture. This ^vi^ give him two green- 

 house plants and two stores. 



Mr. Peter Lambert has moved into the 

 new cottage built for the park keeper 

 at Greenwood Park, and his son, John 

 D., has taken the greenhouses and the 

 old residence. Mr. John D. was married 

 on October 1 to Miss Anna K. Kuhlman, 

 of this city. "May their days glide 

 smoothly on and trouble never assail 

 them." 



Fulmer has recently moved to Union 

 Park, the house in which he lives being 

 one of the early landmarks of the city! 

 He has been busy enlarging the park 

 greenhouse and in taking in his stock. 

 Tlie early frost of September spoiled 

 some of the more tender plants. 



We have heard of some of the craft 

 Vflio are already dropping their pennies 

 into a paint keg in order to be able to 

 take the trip to Milwaukee next August. 

 Here's success to them.

Eucharis Grandillora 



It l9 a mtetake to associate this flower with 

 Eucharis Amazonlca. The free-blooming' quali- 

 ties of the grandifiora are so much superior that 

 the other cannot be brought in comparison at all 

 except through Its similar beautiful flowers. 

 Eucharis Grandiflora will g'lve five crops of 

 bloom, properly handled, to one of Amazonica. 

 It Is one of the most profitable and successful 

 flowers for florists to grow who wish something 

 fine for funeral and wedding work. 



A stock of bulbs once secured and let alone 

 will produce from time to time throvigh the sea- 

 son a beautiful show of flowers that can be com- 

 pared to no other white flower for beauty and 

 fragrance. It Is botli delicate in texture and 

 fragrance, and its lasting Qualities are superior 

 to most of the white flowers of this class. It 

 only needs a warm, shady corner of the house 

 and very little care and the blooms will come In 

 at seasons when white flowers are very scarce. 



We still have a supply left and prices are of- 

 fered the same as la former advertisement, $2.60 

 for larg-e clumps of lb to 2U bulbs, which are In 

 bloom at the present time, and $10.00 per 100 for 

 single flowering bulbs. The clumps will bloom 

 again for the holidays with proper handling-.
