The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



APRIL 7, 1898. 



SPRINGnELD, MASS. 



Piloted by Mark Aitken, behind his 

 nimble steed, a run was made through 

 the principal establishments in the vi- 

 cinity. J. Schlatter & Son were the 

 first to be visited and we were reward- 

 ed with a view of excellent stock in 

 prime shape; but to endeavor to grow 

 yet finer, a good trial with Jadoo is in 

 force and most satisfactory results an- 

 ticipated. 



H. Grout was the next on the list. 

 We found that gentleman finishing the 

 morning cut of that euphoniously- 

 named carnation Conch Shell. It is a 

 beauty, and those unacquainted with 

 the lovely tint upon this species of 

 shell should try the carnation and 

 learn from its bloom what it is in 

 color and vigor of growth. 



From thence we sped on to Holyoke, 

 where are located the extensive es- 

 tablishments of Messrs. Shaw and 

 Rowland. The stock of the latter is in 

 capital trim. Henry Sinclair knows 

 how to grow Woottons. Easter stock 

 is abundant, and from indications will 

 sell well. Mr. Shaw grows roses and 

 carnations on quite a large scale. His 

 stock is fully up to his usual standard. 

 I looked in at the Aitken place on our 

 return and found considerable im- 

 provements since the property be- 

 longed to Herrick. It is situated in 

 the heart of the residential section and 

 must be a profitable investment under 

 a careful and hustling person.

HEATING. 



In reply to B. J. P.'s enquiry on 

 heating matters, the arrangement he 

 suggests would probably provide suffi- 

 cient grate surface, but the capacity of 

 the boiler would be inadequate for the 

 heating of one house alone, without 

 considering the assistance of some 

 heating pipes which would be neces- 

 sary in connection with the flue in the 

 second house, I am unable to advise 

 definitely as to the size of boiler which 

 would be necessary, as your corre- 

 spondent does not state the shape of 

 the houses, whether they are connect- 

 ed or separate, if they have any glass 

 on the vertical sides, and the temper- 

 ature he wishes to maintain.

E. G. Brown added a violet house 

 in the fall and has had as great suc- 

 cess with Marie Lou'se as is usual 

 with his carnations and roses. 



T. V. Kilvington reports considerable 

 demand for palms, and predicts a good 

 Easter. 



F. G. Foster is, I regret to report, 

 not feeling so well as of yore. His 

 many friends wish him speedy recov- 

 ery. The business is being well taken 

 care of by Fred Simon, who is grow- 

 ing some very salable stock.
