The Weekly Florists' Review* 



August 10, 1905. 



ELMIRA. N. Y. 



During the past month trade has been 

 somewhat slow and, with the exception 

 of funeral work, there was little doing. 

 Boses are looking well and the prospects 

 for an early cut from young stock are 

 good. Beauties are promising tvell and 

 are planted in about the same quantities 

 as last season. Meteors have been dis- 

 carded in favor of Richmond, which 

 seems to be at home in the local soil and 

 conditions. 



Carnation planting is being pushed 

 vigorously and by the end of the week 

 they will be nearly all benched. This is 

 a few weeks earlier than last season. 

 They are coming in from the field in fine 

 shape. The quantities planted will con- 

 siderably exceed those of last season. 



The growers have put quite a spurt into 

 building operations. Harry N. Hoffman 

 is increasing his plant by about 6,000 

 square feet, which he is devoting to car- 

 nations. 



Geo. Backer has purchased two houses 

 from the Bawson estate and is busy 

 moving them to his own place. This 

 will give an addition of 6,000 square 

 feet. He intends planting them to roses. 



The United States Cut Flower Co. 

 is erecting one house 22x200 to be used 

 as a stock house. They are also building 

 a cool room on the most modern plans irt 

 which to prepare their cut for shipment. 

 The roses on this place are looking espe- 

 cially fine, their block of Bichmonds be- 

 ing really excellent. 



The contingent for the convention 

 from here will be small, Supt. Curran of 

 the United States Cut Flower Co., being 

 the only one who has signified the inten- 

 tion of attending.
