The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



MARCH 



1S9S. 



ATLANTA. GA. 



Rapid stiidts have been made dur- 

 ing the past year, both in the West 

 View grounds and greenhouses. The 

 former bids fair to be one of the at- 

 tractions of the South, while the choice 

 stoclv being grown b.v Mr. Burford is 

 highly creditable to him. Mr. McBur- 

 ney. the genial manager of the com- 

 pany, informed me the demand and 

 supply of stock has never been better 

 than during this season, the crops 

 particularly of Beauties. Perle. Bride 

 and Bridesmaids for Easter being of 

 .great promise. Kaiserin is quite a fa- 

 vorite and will be grown even more 

 extensively. In carnations. Flora Hill 

 and Mrs. McBurney are simply grand. 

 I have not seen larger or better blooms 

 elsewhere. I noted a wire collar is 

 used to support the roses, especially 

 Beauties, in lieu of tying. It is easily 

 :applied and can be used over and over 

 again. Asparagus and smilax are 

 grown by the yard; fine stock. 



The C. A. Dahl Co. are also cutting 

 some choice stock. They report an in- 

 crease in the line of decorations and 

 will be on hand at Easter with big com- 

 missions, judging by present returns. 



Wachendorff Bros, report a good sea- 

 son. They have a heavy line of spring 

 slock; one of their leaders. W. M. 



ESTABLISHED 1859- 



AMERICA'S OLDEST FLORIST. 



The Daily Times, of Troy, N. Y.. in 

 its issue of Feb. 10 gives a very inter- 

 esting sketch of the life of Louis Me- 

 nand. of Albany. N. Y.. who is un- 

 doubtedly the oldest living florist in 

 America, having passed his 90th year. 

 It is pleasing to learn from this report 

 that our veteran still enjoys good 

 health and is wonderfully active for a 

 man of his years. 



IMPORT DUTY ON IMMORTELLES. 



By a recent decision of the Treasury 

 department at Washington, acting 

 upon an appeal, immortelles were 

 classed as a non-enumerated manufac- 

 tured article, with import duty at the 

 rate of 20 per cent, ad valorem. 



DES MOINES, lA.— The J. M. Clark 

 Mfg. Co. has been incorporated with a 

 capital stock of $10,000. to manufacture 

 a shipping case for cut flowers.
