The Florists^ Review 



Jdnb 1, 1922 



has had a. good commercial training and 

 should make good in his new undertak- 

 ing. Mr. Christensen has the frame- 

 work completed for two King Construc- 

 tion Co. houses, each 40x200, to be de- 

 voted to carnations, and has a large 

 servi'ce building well under way. He, 

 wiH later erect additional houses at his 

 new location in Reading. He is also 

 going heavily into nursery stock of 

 all kinds. His new enterprise is called 

 the Reading Nurseries & Greenhouse Co. 



Edward Winkler, of Wakefield, has 

 completed grading ground for a new 

 Hitchings house, 40x194, for carnations. 

 He has purchased a plot of several acres 

 of excellent land adjoining his green- 

 houses and plans to erect a dwelling on 

 it quite soon. His greenhouses are all 

 well stocked with carnations, snap- 

 dragons, candytuft and Gypsophila 

 elegans. Of the last named he has a 

 line lot, grown in shallow flats. Seed- 

 ling raising continues to interest Mr. 

 Winkler as much as ever and he has 

 some promising varieties. The popular 

 Morning Glow is one of the varieties 

 raised here. 



There were over 75,000 visitors to the 

 Arnold Arboretum to view the lilac dis- 

 play this season. The display of Azalea 

 Kaempferi at present is remarkably fine 

 and the rhododendrons are blooming 

 profusely. The mountain laurels are 

 also commencing to show color. Pro- 

 fessor Sargent is interesting; Mayor 

 Curley in a project for a fine rose garden 

 at the arboretum. The estimated cost 

 of this will be $300,000 and it will be 

 the finest of its kind in America. It is 

 hoped to get some money from the Park- 

 man and George R. White funds for this 

 project. 



The Be^^on Florist reports an enor- 

 mous business in artificial wreaths and 

 other Memorial day designs. John Eise- 

 mann sees no sentiment in these designs, 

 but a large class of people want them 

 and are pleased with them. He, there- 

 fore, merely assists in satisfying this 

 demand. No doubt other florists feel 

 the same way about this artificial mate- 

 rial, though it is cutting into the natural 

 flower business more heavily each year. 



While no locally grown peonies have 

 yet appeared on the markets, singles are 

 due this week and a week hence some 

 doubles should be available. Plants are 

 promising and there should be a splen- 

 did exhibition of these at Horticultural 

 hall June 17 and 18. The annual con- 

 vention and show of the American 

 Sweet Pea Society comes June 24 and 

 25, in conjunction with the rose, straw- 

 berry, late peony and sweet pea show 

 of the Massachusetts Horticultural 

 Society. 



Anthony Watercr, of Philadelphia, 

 was among our callers last week and did 

 a good business in bulbs, as usual. He 

 reports business as rapidly getting back 

 to a normal basis. 



Memorial day business in fresh flow- 

 ers did not take on any si.ap tliis year 

 until May 29. Then buyinjr hnd some 

 power. Weather conditions this year 

 were extremely favorable. "Hay 26 a 

 temperature of 84 degrees was recorded, 

 but May 27 it fell to a niaxim«m of 5:i 

 degrees, and light frosts occirred at 

 night on low lands north of Boston. 

 May 28 and 29 were clear, wit'i com- 

 fortable temperatures, as near icrfect 

 as possible. 



The death of Patrick Welch, reiorted 

 elsewhere, removes one of Boston 'i most 

 notable figures in the commercirj flo- 

 rists ' field. " P. W. " and " P. Wilch ' '
