The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



MARCH 24. 1898. 



be successful, then discard the rest; 

 as soil, climatic differences, different 

 methods of cultivation, all enter into 

 the degree of success or failure at- 

 tained. A variety that will do well 

 ■with one firm is or rather may be a 

 failure with another. Crabb & Hunter 

 are the only ones round Grand Rapids 

 who can make a success in growing 

 Ivory; with them the flowers are large, 

 with strong stem, and as free as Scott; 

 it is the white for them to grow. 

 Again, Chas. Chadwick has his best 

 success with McGowan, which variety 

 is now pretty well discarded, except a 

 stray batch here and there, grown 

 more for stocl;; than the flowers. The 

 Stover Floral Co. are apparently the 

 last remaining champions of the once 

 indispensable Silver Spray. In this 

 section, its days are numbered; we can 

 no longer grow it as of yore, or as 

 Stover grows it. Henry Smith grows 

 Lamborn extensively and well, and to 

 him it is his best white. His success 

 is so marked that others will try it 

 next winter. The chief objection is 

 its very weak neck. Paul Goebel ap- 

 parently has come nearest perfection 

 in cultural methods to the requirements 

 of Flora Hill. Alfred Hannah says he 

 has a white seedling that may not take 

 a back seat for any variety. He is, 

 however, very partial to Flora Hill and 

 will plant largely of that variety next 

 year. 



Of the three new whites some 

 thought Genesee might prove the most 

 profitable, the flower being medium in 

 size and might produce flowers easier 

 and more abundantly than the others. 

 From the description of the Chicago 

 show, given by the committee, all were 

 inclined to favor White Cloud and Ev- 

 elina as the best up-to-date whites, 

 and all three will be given a thorough 

 trial; as will all the varieties exhibit- 

 ed, particularly Gold Nugget, it being 

 a better shade of yellow than Mayor 

 Jf ingree. 



A vote of thanks is extended to 

 iVIessrs. Hill, Dorner, Swayne, Witter- 

 staetter. Baker, Long and Hancock for 

 their generous contributions to the 

 meeting. 



It was decided that twenty-five cents 

 per dozen, the present prevailing pric=, 

 was too cheap at which to sell a higher 

 grade of flowers, and an effort will be 

 made to advance the price of certain 

 varieties to 50 and 75 cents per dozen 

 next winter, according to quality; fail- 

 ing to get that price, to make the 

 growing of such flowers pay, they will 

 be shipped to where better prices pre- 

 vail. The progress and evolution of 

 the high grade carnation was com- 

 pared to the chrysanthemum of five 

 years ago. 



Banquet, 



This most important meeting ever 

 held by the club was followed by the 

 usual banquet (a vote of thanks to 

 Mr. and Mrs. Crabb), and a continued 

 social discussion of the merits of the 

 various seedlings before breaking up.
