The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Mahch 26, 1903. 



Improvement is the order of the day. 



We don't ride in ox wagons simply because others did 50 years ago. Now it is trolley cars, " 20th Century Limited," and 



soon will be air ships. So it is in Greenhouse Construction. You must be up to date or the 



other fellow will leave you behind as the trolley car leaves the ox team.

Vour Bars will last five years longer 

 than on old style gutters. The lugs, 

 through which the screws fasten the 

 ijars, are cast on the gutters. 



THE MILD AND GENTLE ONES. 



"Is this the plant that you have refer- 

 ence to?" asked the florist, in a soft and 

 gentle voice, and he took down an orchid 

 growing in a pot of moss. "Why is it," 

 said one of the two women he had been 

 waiting on, as they departed, "why is it 

 that all florists have the soft and gentle 

 manner of this man?" The other wom- 

 an, musing, answered: "I think it must 

 be the influence of the flowers. Tlie flor- 

 ists' life is given over to a maternal 

 rearing of plants. It is a life quiet anc 

 kindly, passed among beautiful colors 

 and enchanting odors. Tlie effect of these 

 things is to soften and refine." The 

 other said: "That is one answer, and a 

 good one, to ray question. But I think 

 that florists have nice manners mainly 

 because the manners of their patrons rub 

 011 on them. Take the people who love 

 flowers, and you will find them a gentle 

 and poetical class, mild of air and soft 

 of speech. Consorting only with these 

 people I think the florist gets to have 

 their ways." "Well," said the other 

 woman, "whatever the reason is, it's the 

 truth that all florists are alike in their 

 gentleness and softness and mildness." —

DoYLESTOWN, Pa. — Eoses are and have 

 been scarce, and consequently high 

 priced, all winter. Mr. John E. Andre, 

 the largest and most expeTt grower in 

 tnis section, is now receiving from his 

 wholesaler in Philadelphia $18.00 pet 

 100 for his best Brides and Maids. He 

 is also a grower of very fine Beauties. 

 A recent visit to this place shows the 

 stock to be in excellent condition with a 

 tremendous crop coming on.
