The Weekly Florists* Review. 



APRIL U. 1S9S. 



Grand New Violet "La France." 



STRONG VIGOROUS GROWER. 



EXTRA FREE FLOWERING. 

 RICHEST COLOR. 



Of the many new \'iulets introduced in the past few vears 

 this, the latest introduction of the foremost French specialist, 

 is unquestionably the BEST, ft has been thoroughly tested 

 by Mr. Supiot, the \'iolet expert, who pronounces it "per- 

 fect," and flowers which we have exhibited during the ]>ast 

 few weeks have been much admired. In vigor of growth, 

 freedom of bloom, and in size and coloring it is superior to 

 all existing sorts, and will soon supercede them. Only a 

 limited stock will be offered this season, and orders will be 

 hlled in strict rotation 



Price, $1.25 per dozen; $10.00 per 100.

A GOOD ANTISEPTIC. 



As a good many florists suffer more 

 or less by lacerations from the thorus 

 of roses, more specially during the 

 holidays when the rush Is on, a friend 

 of mine who has been in tlie hospital 

 from blood poisoning, the result of the 

 above, says that the doctors told him 

 in future to use this precaution: 



Get a bottle of corrosive sublimate 

 tablets, costing 2.5 cents, from any 

 drug store. Dissolve one in one pint 

 of water and bathe the hands for sev- 

 eral minutes witli same; this is an 

 excellent antiseptic, but deadly poison 

 for inward application, so care must be 

 used in handling and leaving the tab- 

 lets where they might prove danger- 

 ous. B.

HUNT'S REVIEW OF THE CHICAGO 

 MARKET. 



The entire past week, beginning "Wednesday 

 last, has been one continual hustle— orders 

 upon orders from all quarters. The business 

 done, as predicted by us two weeks ago, fir 

 exceeded all previous years here for past six 

 seasons. 



Stock was mainly good. There was a notice- 

 able absence of pickled stock, not that there 

 was none at all, but the percentage was small- 

 er than the most hopeful expected. 



The main shortage as expected developed on 

 carnations and Harrisii— both at times being 

 far short of demand and going at high prices, 

 Harrisii Saturday going to IS cents with 

 everything counted. 



Close of business Sunday noon found whole- 

 salers as a rule completely sold out and while 

 in a rather collapsed condition physically, 

 mentally in a happy frame. 



The installation of the new board of alder- 

 men Monday kept local business lively and 

 even Tuesday was only a minor edition of a 

 day of Easter sale. Beginning with to-day 

 lAVednesday) business will quiet down in all 

 probability and suffer as usual probably from 

 the customary reaction. 



Carnations are still short crop. Violets of 

 good quality also are somewhat shy, all other 

 stock in good, fair supply, in some lines even 

 in overstock. 



The outlook for a good spring business is 

 hopeful and a more healthy tone has not pre- 

 vailed at this periled for years. 



Always Mention the....
