The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



FEBnuAUY 1, 1900. 



J. l'\ ^Vilc(>x. — A ^00(1 grower and a 

 grand llowcr, but we have had a good 

 many split calyxes. 



White Lawson. 



S. J. Kouter. — Elegant bloom; same 

 good liabit as the pink Lawson. 



iVichiniann Bros. Co. — Like its jiarent, 

 very I'lee; fully as vigorous, if not more 

 so; a good variety to aild to the general 

 list of commercial sorts; one that will 

 be universally grown where Lawson does 

 well; 52 to 54 degrees. 



Bate I'.ros. — Like it very much; shall 

 plant it iieavily next season. 



AVietor l^.ros. — It is like ])ink Lawsou 

 in all but color; "nuff said." 



Patten & Co. — lias done exceedingly 

 well; itu lined to have short stems if 

 lifted lale in the fall from the open 

 ground. 



J. II. Duidop. — Good; tendency to 

 blotch ; free bloomer and excellent stem. 



N. A. Benson. — The best white, next 

 to Bountiful. 



C. H. I\oney. — White Lawson has not 

 done well this season but shall give it 

 another trial. 



J. F. Wilcox.— With us 

 called Variegated Lawson; 

 ducer and seller. 



J. A. l^udlong. — There 

 whites; 1(»o short stemmed. 



Fred Burki. 



W^ietor Bros. — One of 

 whites. 



Bate Bros. — Fine large flower but does 

 not seem to be free enough; will try it 

 again. 



J. F. Wilcox. — Good flower and stem, 

 but do not consider it a profitable va- 

 riety for us to grow. 



S. J. L'euter.— Xo good; too shy on 

 flowers. 



C. 11. Eoney. — A very fine flower but 

 too slow witli us. 



White Cloud. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. — Very good when 

 well done; wlieii s(ul and comlitions 

 suit, a hard one to let otT; jdaut late; 

 grow 4G to 4S degrees. 



S. J. Eeuter.— Out of date; The Queen 

 is a big improvement over tliis once fine 

 sort. 



J. A. Budlong. — Too wenk in stem; 

 there are better whites. 



N. A. Benson. — Discarded. 



J. F. Wilcox. — Have discanled it. 



Wictor Bros. — One of our ohl stand- 

 bvs. 

 'Fatten I'v; Co.— Out(dasse.1. 



J. II. Dunlop. — Discarded. 



Peru. 



Buillouii.- -Crew it in days 



might be 

 good pro- 



are better 



the coming 



J. A. 



gone l)v. 

 Patten 



& Co. — Discarded; inclined to 



rust; not profitable. 



J. II. Dunlop. — Good flower and pro- 

 lific but stem inclined to be weak; dis- 

 carded. 



N. A. Benson, — Good flower but stem 

 too weak. 



Other Whites. 



S. J. Keuter says that Vesper is a 

 strong grower, healthy and free, with 

 large flowers on 3-foot stems; not a glis- 

 tening white. 



C, 11. Eoney says they like Vesper very 

 much and next in favor to Queen; very 

 jirofitable. They still grow Norway and 

 consider it a very fine commercial white. 



Wietor Bros, say that Lieut. Peary is 

 the best white of 1905 introduction. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. says that Mary 

 W^)od is a fine shaped flower; much 

 called for when in evidence; not very 

 productive. 



J. H. Dunlop says that Glacier has 

 been a stand-by for years, but shall dis- 

 card it this season for Bountiful, Belle 

 and White Lawson. 



Mrs. Lawson. 



J. A. Budlong. — Still a good pink, but 

 think it goes a step backward each year. 



Patten & Co. — Discarded for Pink 

 Patten. 



Bate Bros. — Better than ever this sea- 

 son; was planted from 3-inch pots direct 

 to benches. 



J. H. Dunlop. — Best of its color; still 

 in the pink of condition with us. 



N. A. Benson. — Slightly disfigured but 

 still in the ring; the best yet. 



S. J. Eeuter. — With us the best paying 

 sort. 



Chas. Knopf. — Shall discard; don't 

 think it will hold its own. 



Poeldmann Bros. Co. — Still a very 

 good one; more universally grown than 

 any other at present, but three or four 

 more years will see its finish; plant 

 early. 



J. F. W^ilcox.— Without doubt the best 

 all-round pink we grow. 



Wietor Bros. — So far unexcelled by 

 any otiier of its color. 



('. II. Roney. — Our standard dark pink 

 but this season it has not done so well; 

 we wore troubled a great deal with stem- 

 rot. 



Nelson Fisher. 



.T. A. Budlong. — Better formed flower, 

 longer stemmed and more productive 

 than Lawson. 



J. H. Dunlop. — Only a small rjuantity 

 grown; has been in good form; deeper 

 shade of cerise than Lawson. 



N. A. Benson. — 'Not as good as Law- 

 son. 



8. .7. Keuter. — Not as free with us as 

 Lawson but a better color. 



.1. F. Wilcox.- — Does not ^lo well with 

 us; shall discard it. 



I >' 



Patten & Co. — Will grow again; sten) 

 inclined to be short if lifted late; 

 should be grown indoors. 



Wietor Bros. — A very good bloomer 

 and deeper in color than Lawson. 



Fiancee. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. — Grand in fall; 

 finest yet; don't know how it will be- 

 have hereafter. 



Bate Bros. — Fine, big flower in fall; 

 now splitting badly ; shall try it again. 



J. H. Dunlop. — The early part of tile 

 season the flowers were good ; since be- 

 ginning of December about seventy-five 

 per cent burst the calyx; disappointing; 

 may grow a few next season, but not 

 many. 



J. A. Budlong. — Has split seventy-five 

 per cent under our culture; believe it 

 will prove all right with our own propa- 

 gation and improved culture. 



N. A. Benson. — So far the best I ever 

 grew, but starting to split too much and 

 hard to root. 



J. F. Wilcox. — With us it splits badly; 

 will try it another season and hope for 

 better success. 



Wietor Bros. — Shall try it again next 

 year. 



Chas. Knopf. — Will give it another 

 year. 



S. J. Renter. — First flowers split 

 badly ; have raised temperature to 56 

 degrees; much improved; splendid flower 

 in color and form; very strong grower. 



Patten & Co. — A failure to date. 



Fair Maid. 



S. J. Reuter. — Not free enough dur- 

 ing midwinter; fine in hot weather. 

 Patten & Co. — Shall not grow it again. 

 N. A. Benson. — Too small here. 



Mrs. Nelson. 



J. A. Budlong. — Don't succeed with 

 us, while some of our neighbors seem to 

 get good results. 



Patten & Co. — Not profitable with us; 

 discarded. 



J. H. Dunlop. — Discarded. 



N. A. Benson. — Too much grass and 

 not large enough; a poor keeper. 



J. F. Wilcox. — A fine flower and good 

 grower but a cropper. 



Eclipse. 



J. 11. Dunlop.' — 'Flowors medium in 

 size; extra long stem; very promising; 

 think well of the variety. 



J. F. Wilcox.— Long wiry stem; good 

 flower. 



Indianapolis. 



S. J. Reuter. — It is of no use to me. 



J. H. Dunlop. — Grew some last season, 

 a few again this year, but shall discard 

 as not satisfactory. 



X. A. Benson. — ^Fairly good flowers 

 but stock not healthy.
