The Weekly Florists^ Review.

ROC HESTE R, N. Y. 



Various Notes. 



C. Curtis, one of our great vegetable 

 growers, reports splendid success vritli his 

 carnations. He planted one house this 

 season for trial and did much better than 

 expected. Ho said hi.s carnation house 

 has paid more dollars than any house on 

 the place and he is going to plant all tho 

 stock he can raise this season. He also 

 has the material for another house 20 

 s200. 



E. Latz reports trade encouraging. 

 He built one house last fall for carna- 

 tions, but could not secure plants enough 

 to fill it. He says that if he had had 

 it full he -n-ould have come out in good 

 shape. He has made up his mind to 

 have things a little different next sea- 

 son. 



Mr. Winehel, another new grower, re- 

 ports business good and expects to be 

 in full crop for Easter. 



F. Pursell, Salter's foreman, pur- 

 chased E. Canister's place and will 

 erect a rose house 30x150 as soon as 

 the weather will permit. 



As to varieties I tind Enchantress to 

 be the most satisfactory among our 

 growers and will be mostly planted, as 

 it is much ahead of any other. I have 

 not seen a bench of Morning Glory that 

 was in a satisfactory condition. Those 

 that are growing Enchantress, report 

 that it can be raised cheaper than any 

 other. I can speak for the 600 plants 

 which I have myself; we picked heavy 

 for Christmas and New Year's and will 

 be there for Easter, picking 300 or over 

 a week at the present time, which no 

 other carnation on the market will do. 

 I consider it ahead of any. In white 

 they all speak well of Peru and I think it 

 has come to stay, as it seems to be doing 

 better this year than ever. In dark pink 

 it will be pretty hard for anyone to beat 

 Lawson. Our growers are .iust commenc- 

 ing to grow this variety and begin to 

 realize what they missed. Dark red is 

 not much wanted here. In bright red a 

 good many are raising the old Red Jacket 

 but Crane is the favorite. Growers are 

 purchasing new carnations less this sea- 

 son than ever. I think it would be a 

 profitable advertisement for a grower of 

 any new carnation to distribute it among 

 the leading growers for trial, so as the 

 growers could see for themselves the be- 

 havior of such a variety. H. M.
