The WccMy Florists^ Review* 



Max 4, 1906. 



ALLENTOWN, PA. 



' ' The best Easter in years ' ' is the re- 

 port heard on all sides. J. T. Horn & 

 Bro. report a ' ' grand clean up. ' * Bloom- 

 ing plants of all sorts sold exceptionally 

 wel], Crimson Bamblers especially tak- 

 ing like the proverbial hot cake. Lilies 

 were in their prime and did not go "a 

 begging. ' ' Nor was there a shortage of 

 either roses or carnations. 



Ernst Ashley seems well pleased with 

 the result of Easter week and looks for- 

 ward to a profitable spring trade. 



J. F. Hdrn & Bro. never had things in 

 finer condition, nor were they ever so 

 well equipped to handle both their re- 

 tail and wholesale trade as they are this 

 season. While carnations are their spe- 

 cialty, they also grow a general line of 

 plants for their retail trade. Their 

 mammoth establishment at Eittersville is 

 well worth visiting. 



E. M. Kroninger's "fancies," such 

 as Prosperity, Enchantress and Lawson, 

 find ready sales both in the New York 

 and Philadelphia markets notwithstand- 

 ing the periodical gluts that enable the 

 curbstone merchants to offer carnations 

 for a mere song. 



A call on John E. Haines, of Beth- 

 lehem, proved interesting indeed. His 

 namesake, his own red seedling carnation, 

 is a winner. Mr. Haines assures me that, 

 aside from its being a high grade flower, 

 it is likewise remarkably productive. 



BLUFFTON, IND. 



Easter trade was very good. Every- 

 thing was cleaned up. Excessive funeral 

 work made stock scarce and prices 

 ruled high. Spring trade has opened 

 fine. Myers & Co. have already sold 

 over 60,000 cabbage plants. They have 

 now 16,000 square feet of modern glass, 

 with tile bottom benches for roses and 

 carnations. They will house about 6,000 

 carnation plants for the coming sea- 

 son, mostly red, white and pink Lawson, 

 Enchantress, Harlowarden and Prosper- 

 ity. Lawson has done exceedingly well 

 with them and shows no tendency to- 

 ward running out. It has been giving 

 blooms three to three and one-half inches 

 in diameter, with good si^s, color and 

 substance. They select tfieir cuttings 

 carefully, using blooming shoots only. 

 They tried one solid bed for carnations, 

 but do not think it was a success and 

 will use cinders in the bottom next 

 season. Carnations do not like wet feet 

 all the time an^ solid benches do not 

 dry out quick enough.
