The Florists^ Review 



Fbbbcabt 24, 1916. 



logue, handsomely illustrated and making its 

 appeal in an artistic and effectiTe manner. At 

 the beginnini; are several pages of Instructions 

 about transplanting, siiraying, etc., with formu- 

 las for the making of insecticides and fungicides. 



Blue Hill Nurseries, South Braintree, Mass. — 

 "Specimen Evergreens, Trees, Shrubs, Roses, 

 Vines and Herbaceous Perennials," a 32-page 

 catalogue, in narrow, pocket form, without 

 Illustrations. 



A. H. & N. M. Lake, Marshfleld. Wis.— "Art 

 in Landscape Gardening," a 16-page booklet on 

 the beautifying of private and public grounds. 



W. W. Wilmore, Jr., Wheatridge, Colo.— Two 

 price lists, one of them a 16-page general cata- 

 logue, Illustrated, the other an 8-page wholesale 

 list. Though gladioli are the specialty and are 

 80 treated in the catalogues, there are also 

 ofTerings of cannaa, dahlias, phloxes, Irises and 

 miscellaneous perennials. 



Onnn Seed Co., Lincoln, Neb. — Second annual 

 catalogue of seeds, vegetable plants, roses, 

 bulbs, flowering and foliage plants, shrubs, 

 poultry supplies, garden implements, etc.; 

 thirty-two pages, illustrated. 



Peter Henderson & Co., New York. N. Y. — 

 "Henderson's Farmers' Manual," containing 

 what may safely be called a complete list of 

 field seeds, such as grains, forage crops, root 

 crops, potatoes, cotton, tobacco, etc. ; also farm 

 implements, fertilizers and other supplies; 

 forty-eight pages, illustrated. Various grass 

 mixtures are offered, for the lawn, the open field 

 and the woodland. 



Bobbinlt & Atkini, Rutherford. N. J. — Another 

 excellent sample of catalogue making, such as 

 this company Is in the habit of producing; it 

 contains 160 pages, and the paper, typography 

 and illustrations are all of the best quality. 

 Besides a comprehensive line of hard-wooded 

 nursery stock, including nut-bearing trees, the 

 book offers lawn grass seed, perennials, decora- 

 tive and flowering plants, pot-grown forcing 

 plants, plant tubs, etc. The rose list occupies 

 eighteen pages. 



WASHINGTON, D. C. 



The Market. 



Business Washington's birthday was 

 satisfactory. Ked flowers of all kinds 

 were the best sellers and red carnations 

 brought up to $6, the other colors going 

 at $4 per hundred. There was a marked 

 shortage of the best grades of Amer- 

 ican Beauty roses, but the ordinary 

 grades are coming in more plentifully. 

 The latter are bringing $6 per dozen. 

 Forget-me-nots were in little demand 

 and cattleyas sold well at $5 and $6 

 per dozen. Narcissi are somewhat 

 scarce and there are not nearly as 

 'many jonquils on the market as there 

 have been. Freesia is plentiful and 

 hangs fire. Large quantities of extra 

 fine sweet peas are coming in and these 

 meet with a good sale. Cornflower was 

 in much better demand and cleaned up 

 quickly. Valley met with a fair sale. 

 Lilies, both Easter and rubruni, are only 

 in light demand, the former bringing 

 $1.50 and the latter about $1 per dozen 

 in the long-stemmed grades and about 

 half that prire for the short stock. 



Various Notes. 



The Washington Chamber of Com- 

 merce is making extensive plans for an 

 active 1916. All the committees have 

 not yet been formed, but E. S. Schmid 

 has been appointed to the retail trade 

 committee; F. W. Bolgiano to the school 

 committee; William F. Gude to the 

 membership committee; George H. 

 Cooke and William H. Ernest to the 

 manufacturers' committee. C. L. L.
