The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Apbil 27, 190S. 



SHREVEPORT, LA. 



For Easter we shipped some field-grown 

 cut roses to Cincinnati to try the pulse 

 of that market. Boses are the queen of 

 all flowers here, the tea and hybrid tea. 

 New roses have been a failure with us. 

 Borne new varieties, such as Gruss an 

 Teplitz, in red, hold up with old kinds, 

 but no pink compares with Catherine 

 Mermet and Bridesmaid here. Helen 

 Gould is a good one in red. Kaiserin and 

 Bride are the whites that lead. In yellows 

 Mme. Welch, Safrdno, Etoile de Lyon and 

 Perle are all good in the field. We trust 

 some roses of merit will come out and 

 take a place with these old favorites. 

 Vve must look to Europe as yet. AU 

 roses ought to be tested outdoors before 

 Bending them out. A good many rose 

 names are! changed from old to new. 



Mums are next choice here and are 

 being well improved by specialists in 

 mum growing. 



We would like to Bay a few words 

 about florists selling to drug stores that 

 use plants only to draw trade and hence 

 •ell at low prices. No florist should 

 wholesale to these people or common 

 merchants. In the end this will ruin 

 our trade and cause a slump in prices. 

 Here is another question which was 

 discussed in the Review, we think 

 by wholesale people, about florists 

 shipping flowers or plants and say- 

 ing their responsibility ended when 

 the stock was put on the train. 

 Well, we think differently. In the 

 first place the express company will 

 not allow you to examine plants or flow- 

 ers on arrival. When you pay the freight 

 or express this lets them out, as you 

 often have a lot of dead ones, and do 

 you think any firm vrants to pay for 

 dead plants? We never made anything 

 out of an express company yet. When 

 we ship trees, if they are dead we do not 

 want any pay. Freights are high with 

 the express companies and so much mud 

 is packed in plants you pay for half 

 mud. Downs & Co.
