The Florists^ Review

ency is toward lower prices. Receipts 

 are heavy, e3?cepting bulbous flowers 

 and violets. The demand is fair. 



At Southampton. 



Stephen Mortensen, of Southampton, 

 is the sort of chap who restores one's 

 mental equilibrium. Things do well 

 with him for some definite, known 

 reason. When they do badly it is also 

 for one or more reasons, but they don't 

 often do badly. Mr. Mortensen has 

 been steadily successful for a great 

 many years, producing large crops that 

 are a credit to him and to his establish- 

 ment. He is probably the last man to 

 continue growing the Sharon Hill 

 variety of Double Pink Killarney, now 

 so generally succeeded by Killarney 

 Brilliant. While both varieties look 

 well at Southampton, the paler pink is 

 ahead of its new rival so far. It has 



Eroduced more flowers and they have 

 een carried on longer stems — carried 

 erect, too. 



Mr. Mortensen 's latest love is Sun- 

 burst, with which he proposes to sup- 

 plant Lady Hillingdon on the strength 

 of last winter's performance. His new 

 house, equally divided between Kil- 

 larney Brilliant and White Killarney, is 

 fine, the latter showing the stronger 

 growth so far. Curiously enough, the 

 own-root plants of Brilliant are more 

 vigorous than the grafted. Another 

 curious fact is that the model steam 



Elant installed for this immense new 

 ouse has so far shown no economy in 

 fuel over the hot water heating system 

 used in the older house. Returning 

 again to White Killarney, Mr. Morten- 

 sen finds that with him the Waban 

 variety, sometimes styled the Single 

 White Killarney, produces three times 

 as many flowers as the Budlong variety, 

 sometimes styled the Double White Kil- 

 larney. He will therefore retain the 

 former and discard the latter, despite 

 his fine summer flowers. 



That Mr. Mortensen is a true rose 

 lover is evidenced by his fondness for 

 the new varieties that are on trial. His 

 description of their habit, their likes 

 and their dislikes marks a keen insight 

 into plant life, strengthened by patient 

 observation and strong common sense. 



At Boelofs. 



It is an inspiration to visit the model 



Slace of the Joseph Heacock Co. at 

 loelofs. ' There you find, in about equal 

 proportions, the best greenhouses and 

 machinery for running them that money 

 can produce and the best brains and 

 knowledge for growing plants obtain a-
