The Weekly Florists' Review* 



FEBRUARY 10, 1S9S. 



ELMIRA, N. Y. 



At time of my previous visit, and 

 when malting notes of an interview 

 with Grove P. Rawson. I made a sad 

 blunder in mentioning violets and can 

 only attribute the error to my dull ear, 

 which misconstructed the word "Lulu" 

 into Waterloo. Remembering that the 

 great Napoleon met his defeat upon 

 that historic battlefield. I associated the 

 Napoleon of violet growers with the im- 

 mortal French emperor. I have con- 

 fessed and am forgiven and am happy 

 in the consciousness that I did not shift 

 the blame upon the shoulders of some 

 unseen individual in the composing- 

 room, but faced it like a man. 



Being pressed for time on this trip 

 I was unable to visit the houses, but, 

 piloted by the able manager of the 

 store, Mr. Durand, dropped Into the 

 cellar adjoining the store, and which 

 has recently been renovated. This is 

 really an immense natural refrigerator 

 and a splendid place to keep the cut 

 flowers as sent from the houses for own 

 use and for shipping purposes. I saw 

 part of one day's cut and noted Brides 

 of pearly whiteness. Bridesmaids of a 

 lovely blush, Perles of a deep golden 

 shade, Gontiers a fiery red, grand stock 

 all, and understand such has been pro- 

 duced right along. Meteor used to be 

 grown, but has been dropped for some 

 time. Mr. Rawson intends trying it 

 next season, having now a suitable spot 

 for it. 



Violets are very rich. I noted at 

 Hoffman Bros, as pretty a lot as one 

 could wish to see: healthy, profuse, fra- 

 grant and of an intense blue. Roses 

 now off crop, but have been all that 

 could be desired, and will be all right 

 for Easter. W. M.
