The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Fbbbuaby 1, 1906. 



NEWTON HIGHLANDS, MASS. 



I have a place consisting of only two 

 houses. One house is for carnations and 

 measures 23x90 feet. It holds 2,000 

 plants, which are of extra fine quality. 

 In regard to the famous Lawson, I have 

 heard many times that it has fallen 

 back; that it is losing its vitality. I 

 think it is better with me this year than 

 ever. The color is excellent and its 

 flowering is as free as a weed since the 

 first of September. I think most people 

 root their cuttings in too warm a place. 

 I root mine in the violet house, where 

 the temperature is oftener 40 degrees 

 than it is 50 degrees, no bottom heat 

 whatever. I give them all the time they 

 want, about two months, and I get about 

 eighty per cent. They do not string 

 out again tender and soft plants. When 

 I box them I put them out in frames as 

 early as possible, as it hardens them off 

 before setting out in the ground. They 

 make excellent plants during the summer. 



I also grow the following well known 

 varieties: Fair Maid, Enchantress, Bos- 

 ton Market and The Queen. I think the 

 latter is a fine plant. I have also a few 

 seedlings which promise well. 



In regard to violets, I grow Campbell 

 and Princess of Wales. I also take an 

 early crop of chrysanthemums out of 

 this house before I put in violets. 



Business has been very good this sea- 

 son. P. J. Melia. 



NEW BEDFORD. MASS. 



The following attended the annual 

 show in Boston : S. S. Peckham and wife ; 

 E. H. Woodhouse ; Peter Murray, of Fair- 

 haven, and August Jahn, who is exhibit- 

 ing his new white carnation. It is an 

 exceedingly large flower. He has been 

 experimenting with it and says he has it 

 at perfection. 



Business is dull and flowers are plenti- 

 ful. F. C. C.

 daily has interviewed all the local green- 

 house owners and found them ready to 

 join the Illinois State Florists' Associa- 

 tion. Several plan to attend the Peoria
