The Weekly Florists' Review. 



MARCH 10, 1S9S. 



KNOXVILLE, TENN."S^ 

 "The rush of business prevented my 

 attending the carnation convention, 

 but thanks to the splendid illus- 

 trations ol: the exhibits there contained 

 in The Review, I feel well compensated 

 for the loss." This, with other eulo- 

 gistic remarks, were uttered by C. W. 

 Crouch as he piloted me through his 

 carnation houses, where I noted Flora 

 Hill and Scott doing finely. Roses are 

 well grown, especially Beauty, which 

 pays so well that additional houses will 

 he built for their culture. The Cali- 

 fornia violet is the leader, but Princess 

 of Wales promises to be far superior to 

 it. The season has been a good one all 

 around. 



C. L. Baum echoed this opinion, and 

 is very sanguine for spring outlook.

PLANT FOOD TABLETS. 



We have received from Mr. A. H. 

 Ward, Boston, Mass., a package of 

 •■Ward's Plant Food Tablets." The tab- 

 lets are about half an inch in diam- 

 eter, and are intended for the fertiliz- 

 ing of house plants, the tablet to be 

 buried just under the surface of the 

 soil. The tablet form is certainly a 

 very convenient one and should meet 

 the approval of those who grow house 

 plants. 



HOW TO GROW RUBBERS. 



In the Boston Globe of Feb. 10 E. B. 

 C. tells us how to do it. Where did he 

 get this remarkable inspiration? He 

 says: "Rubber plants require to be 

 nourished, and if a teaspoon of castor 

 oil is occasionally poured in a little 

 trench made around the stalk and cov- 

 ered with the earth, it will be found 

 very beneficial to the plant."
