The Weekly Florists* Review. 



March 24. 1893. 



TORONTO. 



One of the first objects which at- 

 tracted my notice on this visit to John 

 H. Dunlop's was his new rose named 

 Lady Dorothea, a beauty of the first 

 water, justly meriting the award be- 

 stowed upon it recently in New Yorlc 

 and could the committee see the plants 

 at home they would feel still more con- 

 vinced of its qualities. 



Compared with Sunset, from which 

 it is a sport, it is entirely distinct, the 

 color being a soft, warm tint of deep 

 pink, shaded with yellow. A fine, 

 healthy stock is being worked up for 

 distribution next year. 



Bougere, botli white and pink, is a 

 tremendous bloomer, a perfect forest 

 of foliage and blooms; Meteor, in 

 third crop since December, foliaged to 

 bottom and breaking freely; Brides 

 and Maids in exquisite loveliness. Mr. 

 Dunlop ma,v be pardoned for being 

 proud of such grand stock. 



Carnations are not all that could 

 be desired, but 'tis impossible to have 

 everything just as one may wish, and 

 if these are slightly off crop the record 

 of pickings of Marie Louise violets 

 makes interesting reading, a total 

 number of 75,000 from 1,100 plants 

 being considered not so bad. 



Mr. Uunlop is a convert to the 

 grafting method of raising roses after 

 seeing the superb stocks being grown 

 by Alex Montgomery, of Natick, and 

 A. N. Pierson, of Cromwell. At the 

 same time he "caught on" to J. N. 

 May's method of using ordinary soft 

 bricks upon slates in the propagating 

 beds to neutralize the heat and finds 

 the system an admirable one, both for 

 adiantums in pots placed upon the 

 clean bricks and cuttings placed in 

 sand which keep moister and sweeter. 

 He does not expect to have to change 

 the sand through the entire season. 

 Prospects are bright for Easter, both 

 in crops and orders. 



Mr. Dunlop finds a mixture of white 

 lead and coal oil, with a dash of emer- 

 ald green, a most satisfactory shading. 



J. Gammage's Sons, at London, are 

 in this satisfactory condition. "They 

 have lately added one house for 

 Meteors 20x100. and are adding three 

 more 10x185, to be opened at gutters 

 for carnations. Stocks are in prime 

 shape, particularly roaes. Wootton 

 is most satisfactory and Kaiserin 

 proves itself a splendid winter rose, 

 cropping continuously and breaking 

 freely. A large stock of soft-wooded 

 plants are raised for spring bedding.
