The Weekly Florists' Review* 



FEBRUARY 17, 1898. 



Theii- cyclamen in G-inch pots, were 

 well clone and worthy of note. 



A. Sunderbrnch's Sons made a gen- 

 eral display of plants and cut flowers. 

 Some choice palms in the background 

 with foliage and blooming plants, with 

 several vases of lilies interspersed 

 made the display attractive and com- 

 plete. 



Corbett & Wilson showed some Prin- 

 cess of Wales violets with stems 7 to 9 

 inches long. Their Marie Louise were 

 also very good. 



Wm. Murphy had fifteen stand.ird 

 varieties of carnations on exhibition, 

 including Emma Wocher. Mrs. Geo. M. 

 Bradt and Juliilee. 



Trade Brisk. 



Trade is quite biisk and all stock 's 

 going well at good prices. The supply 

 is still insufficient to meet the demand. 

 Bull)ous stock is moving quite lively 

 in consequence of the shortage of roses 

 and carnations. 



Recent visitors: R. W. Greenlaw, 

 representing N. F. McCarthy & Co., 

 Boston; Wm. Dykes, representing Ed 

 Jansen, New York: A. Ij. Vaughan, of 

 Vaughan. McKellar & Winterson, Chi- 

 cago; T. C. Joy, Nashville, Tenn.; E. G. 

 Hill, Richmond, Ind. B. 



JADOO FOR CARNATIONS. 



Mr. Alljert M. Herr, Lancaster, Pa., 

 has been experimenting with the 

 Jadoo Fibre in propagating carnations 

 and is so well pleased with the results 

 that he will next season use the Fibre 

 almost exclusively for this purpose. 

 Evidently there "are many uses to 

 which this material may be put to ad- 

 vantage. 



PATERSON, N. J.— At the meeting 

 of the Paterson Florists' Club. Feb. 16, 

 Prof. Byron D. Halsted. of New Bruns- 

 wick, N. J., read a paper on '■Injuri-
