The Florists^ Review 



Pkbbuary 24, 1921 



give the impression that the entire place 

 will be ready. Astilbe japonica, spiraea, 

 has become a staple Easter plant once 

 more. Both Queen Alexandra and 

 Gladstone are in bud. Some of them are 

 even finer than the imported stock was 

 a few years ago. 



The lilies, giganteum, are of good 

 height, with buds well set, and, it is 

 pleasant to tell, with clean, healthy 

 foliage right down to the pot. 



The roses are a wonderful lot. Prob- 

 ably their equal has never been seen 

 here. They include the leading Wichurai- 

 anas,Rose Tausendschoen,Lady Gay,Ex- 

 celsa and so on, some in bush, some in 

 fancy shapes, a promising novelty; 

 Paul's Scarlet Climber, and Dunlop, 

 Ophelia and some of the hybrid teas. 



The hydrangeas, all French, a white, 

 Jaconda, and five pinks, Chautard, Lilie 

 Mouillere, General de Vibraye, another, 

 and Baby Bimbinette; the last includes a 

 plant in an 8-inch pot bearing twenty- 

 eight buds. These French varieties are 

 bloomers. 



The azaleas, Hinodigiri and Hexe, are 

 in a low night temperature with buds 

 barely showing. 



Four-inch basket plants are unusually 

 plentiful. They include azaleas, hydran- 

 geas, roses and a well-budded lot of gar- 

 denias. There are also for larger baskets 

 golden callas with their curious per- 

 forated foliage. 



Large gardenias, heather and genistas 

 make up the flowering plant assortment, 

 to which valley will be added later. Of 

 the foliage plants specialized at Nor- 

 wood, dracffinas are most interesting for 

 Easter. One standard variety. Lord 

 Wolseley, and three rarer sorts, War- 

 neckii. Bronze Beauty and De Smetiana, 

 are gorgeous in their coloring. 



Pandanus Veitchii is good, while 

 arecas, crotons and ferns are always ab- 

 sorbingly interesting in their quick re- 

 sponse to improvement in culture. 

 Various Notes. 



A notable meeting of the Florists' 

 Club is planned for Tuesday evening, 

 March 1, at the City Club. United 

 States Senator George W. Cartwright, 

 of California, and our own J. Otto Thi- 

 low, of Henry A. Dreer, Inc., are to 

 speak, and a fine exhibition is promised. 



Allen T. Wicks, of Llanerch, is send- 

 ing beautiful ten weeks' stocks to the 

 Philadelphia Wholesale Florists' Ex- 

 change. 



It is said that Quarantine 37 is a 

 Eepublican, and not a Democratic, meas- 

 ure, as has been generally supposed, and 

 is, therefore, unlikely to be repealed 

 under the incoming administration.
