The Florists^ Review 



Fbbbuabz 17, 1916. 



made it unprofitable to handle, but now 

 that it is being budded on strong-grow- 

 ing roots, a large stock of it can be 

 quickly obtained. 



The Ck)ld Flower. 



Hypericum Moserianum, or Gold 

 Flower, is a low and leafy shrub with 

 graceful drooping branches. Flowers 

 of shining yellow, two inches across, 

 glisten in the sunlight like lustrous 

 golden wax, their centers plumed with 

 almost countless thread-like stamens. 

 It is unusually showy, especially in 

 groups, masses or borders There are 

 several other species of hypericum; all 

 that I have tried at Fort Worth are 

 hardy and attractive. 



Others Worth WMle. 



Space will not permit me to describe 

 at length other shrubs, but I must 

 briefly recommend caryopteris, the 

 pretty, bushy shrub that is covered 

 with thousands of blue flowers during 

 fall; the Exochorda grandiflora, with 

 its large clusters of snow-white flowers 

 early in the spring; the Genista tinc- 

 toria, or Scotch Broom, with its gor- 

 geous profusion of golden-yellow blos- 

 soms in the spring; the Poinciana Gil- 

 liesii, or Bird of Paradise, that grows 

 anywhere and bears such a profusion of 

 bloom all summer and fall; the^ im- 

 proved varieties of tamarix, such as 

 Tamarix hispida aestivalis and T. Ja- 

 ponica plumosa. These show nearly as 

 much improvement over the old salt 

 cedar as the new buddleias do over 

 Lindleyana. I feel that I must not 

 close this list without mentioning 

 Vitex Agnus-castus. This is neither 

 new nor little known, for at Fort 

 Worth it is planted more than any other 

 shrub, but in some cities it seems to 

 be entirely unknown. It is the land- 

 scape gardener's friend — always ready 

 to serve anywhere, always satisfactory 

 in growth, foliage and flower.

The Market. 



Last week was cloudy and, conse- 

 quently, there was not so large a cut 

 of flowers for Valentine's day as many 

 had wished. Stock has been improv- 

 ing wonderfully, though, and with the 

 advent of sunny days there will be an 

 abundance of blooms. The stores had 

 a fine trade for Valentine's day, es- 

 pecially in spring fiowers. The Spencer 

 sweet peas were in exceptional demand. 

 Valley, myosotis, freesias and double 

 violets were good sellers. Of other 

 spring flowers there were calendulas, 

 primulas, yellow daisies, ageratums, 

 daffodils, buddleias, lilacs, etc. 



Various Notes. 



In plants H. A. Schroyer had a fine 

 line of tulips in pans, which were strict- 

 ly first-class stock. 



Jacob H. Weaver & Son, of Witmer, 

 had some cinerarias that refiected the 

 work of a skillful grower. 



Lancaster will have another flower 

 store in the near future. E. P, Antes, 

 Jr., will open an up-to-date shop in 

 the southwest angle of Penn square. 

 Mr. Antes has had considerable experi- 

 ence with B. F. Barr & Co. 



H. Rohrer has secured the services 

 of Charles F. Edgar, formerly with 

 B. F. Barr & Co., but more recently 

 with Fleischman 's, Chicago.
