The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Januaby 5, 1905. 



The best comes from British Columbia 

 and costs the florists $16.50 per barrel 

 of twenty-five pounds. We imported 

 considerable native holly from Chicago 

 ajid various eastern points. It cost orig- 

 inally $4 per case but the express 

 chargies to San Francisco averaged $8 

 per case, which makes it rather expen- 

 sive to handle, Oregon grape root is a 

 valuable article at this season of the 

 year. It grows plentifully in Oregon 

 and northern California and colors up 

 brightly with the advent of frosty weath- 

 er. When cut, it usually takes the plants 

 about three years to grow enough so 

 that they can be gathered again. 



Mistletoe was very abundant and of 

 good quality this season. It cost the re- 

 tailers about 25 cents per pound, packed 

 in barrels, each containing about twenty 

 "to twenty-five pounds. 



The demand for wild greens of various 

 kinds is yearly becoming greater and 

 retailers, who a few years ago char- 

 acterized such material as rubbish, now 

 give considerable space on their shelves 

 and in their window displays to the va- 

 rieties I have described. G. 



Washington, Pa. — J. S. Salmons, of 

 the Washington Floral Co., says holiday 

 trade was a fourth greater than in 1903. 

 ■Carnations were the best selling cut 

 flowers, azaleas and begonias the most 

 popular plants. 



SCRANTON, Pa. — The florists in Scran- 

 ton were very busy through the holidays 

 and had a very fine display of plants 

 and cut flowers and red paper bells, 

 ■which were very effective, especially the 

 firm of G. R. Clark & Co., of Washing- 

 ton avenue. Wm. Clark also had a new 

 fancy cut flower wagon on the street, 

 ■which goes to show that things are look- 

 ing up with this enterprising firm.

(Of Maceo.) 



RED SPORT 



Tbis new "Bread and Butter" commercial brilliant "Crane" Red Carnation, now in its fourth 

 year, has the hardy constitution of Qeneral Maceo, with a stronger heavier growth, longer and stiSer 

 stem and a larger flower. Growing under tbe same conditions and in tbe same bouse with Flamingo 

 and Estelle it has produced four times as many blooms as tbe former and twice as many blooms as 

 the latter. Tbe color is as good as Estelle and tbe bloom brings as much as does Estelle at its best. 

 Every flower is of a uniform brilliant red, perfectly double with an ideal calyx, in fact we never saw 

 a split one. 



Bed Sport is perfectly healthy, an easy variety to grow, an early and continuous bloomer, 

 throwing its heaviest cuts around tbe Christmas holidays and during tbe Winter months when red is 

 in demand. Bad Sport will keep longer and travel farther than any other red carnation, and will 

 prove a bonanza to tbe grower who does a shipping business. If the scarcity of red<* in tbe market 

 that now exists continues Bed Sport will pay better to tbe square foot of bench than any otber 

 variety of any color to date. Every florist who has seen Bed Sport growing has placed an order 

 for rooted cuttings, which tells the tale. All our stock is sold up to January 2Hb. Orders tilled in 

 strict rotation from that date on. Price. 12 for 11.50, 26 for $2.50. 60 for $4.00 all post paid. $6.00 per 100, 

 $50.00 per 1000, by express. We guarantee all cuttings to be well rooted and to arrive in good condition.
