The Weekly Florists' Re vie w. 



Febriauv 111. lOOS. 



UTICA, N. Y. 



On February 5 the Utica Florists" Chili 

 held its annual carnation meeting at its 

 rooms in the Mannerchor building, ilany 

 of the new varieties were shown. En- 

 chantress was grand; it needs no descri])- 

 tion : also Mrs. M. A. Patten, a beautiful 

 pink and white of the largest size; and 

 Nelson Fisher, a fine carnation of cerise 

 color; the last two to be introduced in 

 1904. The Boston Market, which, wliile 

 not new about Boston, had never been 

 seen here, is a white that everybody will 

 want as a money maker. The above are 

 all sent out, or to be sent out, by Peter 

 Fisher, of Ellis. Mass. We thought when 

 he introduced jlis. Lawson that he had 

 done his best, but now we hardly know 

 where he will stop. 



We would next like to s[ieak alxiut 

 Lillian Pond, grown and introduced bv 

 Mr. S. J. Keuter, of Westerly, E. I., a 

 grand white of large size and fine stem, 

 and a good keeper we know, as it was 

 shipped on February 2, but did not arrive 

 until February 4, and was O. K. to show 

 on the evening of February .5. Every 

 member of the club was well pleased 

 with it. 



Now we come to three fine varieties 

 from Mr. Warburton, Fall River, Mass. 

 The elegant Cressbrook that was sent out 

 last year was bought by a great many 

 here. .Some have succeeded with it and 

 others have not, but those who did not 

 will surely try again this year after see- 

 ing such a grand (lower. He also sent 

 us Fair Maid (not but that we have 

 many fair maids here), a beautiful light 

 pink, good size, etc., and well thought 

 of; also a fine red name<l Challenger, 

 ■which color we all need — a good llower. 



We now come to three grand flowers 

 sent us by S. J. Go<ldard, of Framing- 

 ham, Mass., the Queen, which comes in 

 for honors as well as Boston Market and 

 Lillian Pond — hard to tell which is the 

 best, but certainly all grand, good 

 whites; also a seedling of UtOl, orange 

 aiul pink, fine for its color, big tlower 

 and good stem; and a pink somewhat 

 the color of Lawson, also seedling of 

 1901. 



We were all somewhat disappointed 

 when wo opened the box of Pres. McKin- 

 ley and found it frozen, as we all wanted 

 to see it very much, but think it must be 

 a grand color. There was also another 

 vase of the Queen from Little South 

 Floral Co., which showed good growing. 

 We must not forget Marian, a good white 

 too, not grown for exhibition, but all 

 right as a commercial flower, sent us by 

 Mr. Isaac Passmore, of West Chester, Pa. 

 Mr. John A. Sholl sent us some of his 

 Success and a few seedlings of odd colors. 

 Success is a beautiful color and a great 

 bloomer, he says. Mr. C. F. Seitzer, our 

 worthy treasurer, brought down some 

 Ivory roses that would be hard to beat, 

 long, stiflf stems — a fine rose. Mr. Y. 

 McGowan brought some violets, good in 

 color and stem. 



I almost forgot to mention that the 

 bunch of Adonis came in bad condition, 

 being chilled and hardly fit to show, 

 wuich we all very much regretted.
