The Florists' Review 



JUNB 18, 1014. 



COLUMBUS, O. 



The Market. 



Trade has quieted down considerably 

 since the last writing, as most of the 

 spring bedding is done now. There are 

 still a few stragglers coming in, and 

 in some cases it is hard to fill their 

 orders, as some lines are quite low now, 

 and most of the buyers are glad to get 

 what they can pick up. Geraniums have 

 sold well again this season and are 

 cleaned up in good shape. Salvias have 

 also had a good run and there was an 

 enorpious quantity of them. This plant 

 -is a strong rival to the geranium, as 

 almost everyone who planted it so plen- 

 tifully here as the centennial flower 

 still wants a good number along with 

 other plants. The growers in general 

 are well pleased with the spring busi- 

 ness and they all have reason to be sat- 

 isfied, for, as a rule, business in other 

 lines here is exceedingly quiet and has 

 beBn for the last few months. 



The extremely hot weather has been 

 hard on stock in general and it is sur- 

 prising that stock is really as good as 

 it is, as it has been as hot as in July 

 and there has been little rain. 



Carnations are getting . small and off 

 color, but there is still a good quantity 

 disposed of.- Koses are showing the 

 effects of thev warm weather and, as a 

 rule, are quite small. Sweet peas have 

 kept up well during the hot weather and 

 they are still a good seller; nearly all 

 are of the Spencer type, but while the 

 flowers are good the stems are getting 

 short. Valley has been in fair demand 

 and at times has-been scarcely plentiful 

 enough to go around, as the bridal show- 

 ers are much in demand at this writing. 

 There is also a considerable amount of 

 decorating being done for the June 

 brides. 



Various Notes. 



The Home Products Exhibition held 

 here around the state house square 

 proved to be a complete success, from 

 reports of the exhibitors. The Munk 

 Floral Co. was the only florist having a 

 booth. The Brubaker Landscape Co. was 

 in line with a miniature house, lawn, 

 etc. J. M,

With the close of the year of the 

 Massachusetts Agricultural College the 

 regular work in floriculture has ended. 

 The department strongly advises the 

 students to get practical experience, 

 and so each summer a number of men 

 go out into practical work. F. E. Allen 

 is to work for W. N. Craig, at Faulkner 

 Farms, Brookline; A. S. Thurston for 

 A. H. Wingett, at Aileen Winden, 

 Lenox, and W. L. Doran on the estate 

 of J. P. Morgan, at* Newport. A. E. 

 Wilkins- and E. S. Wright stay at the 

 college to work for the floricultural de- 

 partment; W. H. Haskell also stays, to 

 work in the market gardening depart- 

 ment. Miss S. J. Strange, who graduates 

 from the college, will teach school gar- 

 dening and elementary horticulture dur- 

 ing the coming year. W. H. Hatfield 

 has charge of the school gardening work 

 at Milton, Mass., for the summer. G. A. 

 Reid, another senior, has secured a posi- 

 tion as assistant manager on the estate 

 of F. C. Littleton, at Mamaroneck, N. Y. 



Dover, Del. — The Greenhouse Garden 

 Products Co. has been incorporated with 

 a capital stock of $50,000.
