The Weekly florists' Review, 



Febuvauy 12, 1003. 



UTICA, N. Y. 



If you had been on oiir busy coiner, 

 as we call it, on Tlnirsday, January 

 29, you would have seen four of our 

 florists boarding the trolley car for 

 Rome, fifteen miles west, to see what 

 our brother florists were doing there. 

 They were: F. J. Baker. C, F. Seitzer, 

 W. A. Rowlands and J. C. Spencer. 



Tlie first place visited was for some- 

 thing to eat, piloted by Rowlands, as 

 he always knows where the good thin^^s 

 are. After the inner man was satis- 

 fied we felt as if we could attach most 

 anything. 



Tlie first place was Ur. Humphrey's. 

 We found that Mr. Humphrey was in 

 California for his health, which is not 

 very good, but we found his son and 

 daughter in charge, and as things looked, 

 Mr H. need not be in any hurry to 

 come back. Everything was spick and 

 span, as it always is at this place; 

 carnations looking fine, especially Law- 

 son and Marquis; roses a little off crop. 

 After spending about two hours very 

 pleasantly here we started across the 

 city for Mr. Byam's place, where we 

 found Mr. B. busy making up work. 

 But he at once left his work and piloted 

 us through his new place. Here again 

 we found everything fine, especially a 

 Pne lot of cyclamen, and a house of 

 Ala.ska carnations that are as fine as we 

 ever saw. He can pick them by the 

 thousand— the l>est paying thing on the 

 place. Three of his houses were erected 

 so late last fall that he has been grow- 

 ing lettuce in them this winter, but I 

 beTieve is going to plant them to roses 

 next year. 



On our way back to Utica we decided 

 to stop olT "at ^Vllitesboro to look at 

 W. A. Rowland's place. We found his 

 foreman, Wm. Death, busy putting in 

 cuttings and taking out rooted ones and 

 planting in Ijeds. Everything here looks 

 fine — lots of buds in sight and prospect 

 for a big crop for Easter. Everything 

 grown here is shipped to one party. 

 We again started for home, where we 

 arrived at 5 p. m., after a very plea.s- 

 ant trip. 



We have had promised a very nice lot 

 of new carnations for our carnation 

 meeting, of which you will hear more 

 r.ext week. 



C. F. Seitzer is cutting some very fine 

 Ivory roses, in fact, extra fine, as I 

 saw them, and he will plant all he can 

 of them next year. He has also some 

 extra good lilacs in bloom. 



Wm. Mathews is showing some very 

 fine orchids and also a fine lot of tulips 

 at his store this week. 



Everything at C. F. Baker & Son's is 

 in fine condition. They have a fine lot 

 of lilies and report trade good.
