The Weekly Florists' Review. 



FEBRUARY 



1S9S. 



HOLYOKE, MASS. 



Mr. E. Howland grows quite a num- 

 ber of Wootoon and Sunsets, which are 

 found profitable, and well grown Perle, 

 Brides and Bridesmaids are grown in 

 less quantity, also Beauty. Luxonne is 

 the best single violet. A capital batch 

 of cinerarias and primulus vanished 

 nice smoke at Christmas. Spring stock 

 is promising. Carnations were in heavy 

 crop during December, just when need- 

 ed most. His foreman, Harry Sinclair, 

 at the request of the Horticultural So- 

 ciety, read his maiden paper on chrys- 

 anthemums, on which subject he is an 

 enthusiast. It was so well received that 

 he has the pleasure of reading an- 

 other at the meeting of the Hampden 

 County Horticultural Society, Spring- 

 field, February 4. That's right. Let 

 the latent talent shjne. It will help 

 the good cause along. 



E. D. Shaw, w-hile reporting a good 

 holiday trade, considers business not 

 what it should be at this time. Hosts 

 of others echo this, and report Decem- 

 ber and October as both being excep- 

 tionally dull months. Christmas com- 

 pensates for a deal, but business has 

 been very spasmodic during the past 

 year, and the published reports S3 

 carefully prepared by a contemporary 

 should be read with interest by those 

 who are of the opinion things are not 

 or have not been what they consider 

 they should be. 



H. W. Field, of Northampton, is do- 

 ing a good college trade. This is an- 

 anually increasing and more critical. 

 None but the best stock will sell. Evi- 

 ilentlj- Mr. Canning is doing excellent 

 work among the students in educating 

 their tastes for that which is lovely in 

 Queen Flora, and what is there asso- 

 ciated with her that is not? W. M.
