The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



December 9, 1897. 



SYRACUSE, N, Y. 



L- E. Marquisee has lieen much flat- 

 tered with the success obtained at the re- 

 cent show with but ordinary grown stock 

 which, however, showed much care and 

 close attention. He is very successful in 

 raising seedling carnations. Amongst sev- 

 eral which a short time liack would In 

 considered fit to i lace on the market i^ 

 one especially, a pink on the order ol 

 Albertini, but much freer in every re- 

 spect, is well named Columbia. It is tlu- 

 cream of the collection. Another namecl 

 Ideal is an improvement upon the old 

 favorite Grace Wilder. These are free 

 from rust. Also a grand house of Day- 

 breaks for the holidays. Jubilee is fine 

 and wili be grown more extensively. An 

 improved Lizzie Gilbert is well worth 

 growing. In roses, Kaiserin, Perle, and 

 Sunset are healthy, whilst the Rougere 

 and Pres. Carnot are indispensable, do- 

 ing immensely. Carnot is a beauty. 



Mr. Marquisee will open a store down 

 town in time for Xmas trade. W. M.

Where, oh, where are the violets this 

 year? That usually successful grower, 

 Grove P. Rawson, has met his Waterloo 

 this season and cannot account .for it. 

 But he says, "never saydie," and the fact 

 of the posse.ssion of the "Yellow I'ellow" 

 will not deter him but accelerate his 

 speed to make up for lost crops. 



Whilst "mums" have been immense 

 roses are now on top. A splendid crop 

 for the holidays is in sight, and carna- 

 tions galore. 



I noticed a healthy house of Marie 

 Louise violets at Hoffman Bros., but 

 foliage is nuich smaller than usual, and 

 of course the demand is bigger this sea- 

 son than for some time past. Where is 

 that prophet who predicted the abolition 

 of this sweet, coy flower, and frightened 

 many growers out of growing it ? Now 

 they are kicking vigorously because they 

 did it and just wish thev hadn't done so.
