The Weekly Florists' Review. 



JANUARY 27. 1S9S. 



SYRACUSE, N. Y. 



When at L. E. Marquisee's I had to 

 look in and see the sweet carnation 

 Columbia, whose fair name I almost 

 blemished in my notes of my last visit, 

 quite unintentionally, as was under- 

 stood. The name will be changed be- 

 fore it is sent out, should it uphold the 

 promise it has given up to date, as this 

 name has already been bestowed upon 

 a variety disseminated. Its rust re- 

 sisting qualities are remarkable. All 

 around and about it are kinds much af- 

 fected, but this has not the least sign 

 of rust. The flower is perfect and 

 very fragranl. A white sport from 

 Daybreak is noticeable, but Mr. Mar- 

 quisee does not believe in sports, es- 

 pecially in carnations, reasoning that 

 sport is the effect of loss of vitality, 

 which causes the parent to produce 

 something dissimilar and weaker than 

 itself. The general stock of Daybreak, 

 however, is doiug as well as usual, 

 promising an immense crop for Easter, 

 to which soon the eyes of the grower 

 will be turned, and as he surveys his 

 stock of lilies, upon which he cannot at 

 all speculate this season, he asks him- 

 self where he is at, and what is he go- 

 ing to do in the future. 



I had considerable conversation witli 

 Mr. Baker, of Utica, upon this most im- 

 portant subject, the lily disease. He 

 has proven by experiment that this 

 disease is communicated, but whether 

 by root action or soil or pollen con- 

 veyed, he is not prepared to say. It 

 is some distance from Bermuda to 

 Japan, but the Japs have it. W. M.

Cut flower trade has been very dull 

 since the hohdays. No business ex- 

 cept funeral work. Carnations retail 

 from 40 to 50 cents per dozen; roses, 

 $1 to $2: violets, $2 to $2.50 per hun- 

 dred. Calafornias selling for from 

 75 cents to $1.25. 



Low Smith has closed his new store 

 until Easter. 



A number of the florists dropped in 

 to see Mr. Zane one evening, remain- 

 ing until the wee, small hours. All re- 

 port having had au enjoyable time. 

 Mr. Zane has a nice lot of lilies and 

 hydrangeas coming on for Easter. 



Huscroft Bros, are very busy getting 

 out their seed orders. H. 



Kennicott Bros. Co. is the oldest 

 and most reliable wholesale commis- 

 sion cut flower establishment in 

 Chicago.
