The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



December 2. 1897. 



PROVIDENCE, R. I. 



Farquhar Macrae cut some excellent 

 chrysanthemums Thanksgiving week. 

 Of the many whites he considers Mrs. 

 Robt. Crawford the best for this season 

 and intends growing it in place of Wana- 

 maker, which is very unsatisfactory this 

 year, ahnost the only variety showing 

 disease. Western King is a good thing. 

 A white sport from Pres. Smith is well 

 thought of. It has a long neck like its 

 parent but a good stem, with foliage simi- 

 lar to Mrs. Jerome Jones. It is a little 

 later than that variety, which after its 

 many successes this year, will doubtless 

 be grown largely another season. Of late 

 vellows, Maud Adams is considered the 

 finest; a compact head on a grand stem 

 and a bright color. There is a place for 

 Mrs. E. Buettner. It is a curious bloom, 

 but pleasing, solid and bright yellow. 



Francis B. Hayes will be planted more 

 largely when better known. It follows 

 Maud'Dean and when shaded it comes a 

 beautiful deep pink. G. P. Rawson's 

 "Thanksgiving" is represented by some 

 trial plants. It is a noble bloom, a shell 

 pink; looks very promising. 



In carnations Flora Hill is pre-eminent. 

 Alaska next. The never failing Lizzie 

 McGowan still holdsi'sown. Eldorado is 

 fine. Mrs. Fisher was sadly affected by 

 the unfavorable spring weather and had 

 to be entirely discarded for this year, the 

 first time this variety has failed to do well 

 here. 



Roses both on benches and in solid 

 beds are looking well, with promise of a 

 heavy crop for Xmas. One house was 

 changed from solid bed to bench to avoid 

 the ravages of the hard-shelled bug. The 

 change has had the desired effect. The 

 grafting niethod will be adopted to some 

 extent next season. 



At the R. I. Greenhouses Alex. Miller 

 is congratulating himself upon the disap- 

 pearance of the early 'nmms which at this 

 time crowd out all else. The space is 

 being utilized for lilies. His roses are in 

 fine shape and a good holiday crop can 

 hi banked upon. Carnations are first- 

 class; with the houses built directly 

 opposite to the popular idea and assuredly 

 the correct one, it is surprising .such 

 returns are shown. W. M.
