The Florists^ Review 



August 7, 1913. 



SOBANTON, FA. 



The Market; 



This is a low-ebb time for all florists. 

 The heat of last week made the florist 's 

 life abolSt as full of discomforts as 

 would ever be found in an equatorial 

 climate. Greenhouse men are putting 

 their benches and glass in condition. 

 Some are beginning to plant carnations 

 and before many days the majority of 

 the carnations will be in their winter 

 abode. All vegetation outside is on the 

 jump, with plenty of rain and hot 

 weather. 



Various Notes. 



Baldwin the Florist had some excite- 

 ment at his place a few days ago. A 

 liveryman's horse took the notion to 

 investigate the decorations in the win- 

 dow, and as a result the large sheet of 

 glass was broken to ' ' smithereens. ' ' Mr. 

 Baldwin has built a spacious greenhouse 

 at the rear of his store and has it 

 planted with carnations. Mr. Wolfe, 

 of Philadelphia, who has been with Mr. 

 Baldwin for some months, has left his 

 employ. 



.Tonathan Kodhani has abandoned his 

 greenhouse site on Oliphant road, hav- 

 ing removed his buildings to a location 

 near his home on Blair avenue; this 

 •change is a great convenience to him. 

 He is cutting some carnations from 

 plants which stand on the benches at 

 the old site, with no glass over them. 

 His are about the only carnations that 

 are coming into the market from grow- 

 ers in this vicinity. 



F. W. Mackey, who was hard hit by 

 the hail storm in June, is reglazing his 

 greenhouses. 



The eight flower beds on the court- 

 house square!, plantbd by eight different 

 florists, are all attaining line proportions 

 and are quite decorative. 



John Weathers has left his position 

 as private gardener and is now in the 

 employ of Besancon & Co. 



The flower beds at Nay Aug park are 

 looking exceptionally fine. Park Super- 

 intendent T. H. Phillips and his assist- 

 ants have planned wisely in the distri- 

 bution and setting of plants from their 

 conservatory, and as a park of natural 

 scenery Nay Aug has few equals. 



B. E. Cokely, who spent six weeks in 

 his bungalow at Herriek Center, has re- 

 turned to business with renewed energy, 

 leaving his family on the mountain side 

 to. enjov Husquehanna countv's cool

Bar Harbor, Me. — After their suc- 

 cesses at the Boston show, the Mount 

 Desert Nurseries held an exhibition of 

 sweet peas at the store here July 23 

 and 24, which attracted a great deal of 

 attention.
