The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



March 8, 1906. 



PRICE OF GLASS. 



On March o the American Window 

 Glass Co., wliidi is the largest single 

 factor in the glass trade, announced a 

 raise practically of five per cent in 

 prices. Many similar manufacturers fol- 

 lowed the lead of the American and, as 

 the American management shows signs 

 of believing that the situation is more 

 or less in its own hands, a further ad- 

 vance mfiy be anticipated. 



LOOKS LIKE S. A. NUTT. 



"We mail you under separate cover a 

 branch of geranium with blossom and 

 would regard it as a favor if you will 

 tell us what it is. It is a short, bushy 

 plant and is very similar to Mme. Bar- 

 ney in habits and growth. P. G. 



The foliage of the geranium was much 

 shriveled up when received, and the 

 flower was not enough developed to be 

 ■certain about the variety. It looks very 

 like the well-known S. A. Nutt, about 

 the best dark scarlet geranium we have. 

 That is the best guess I can make today. 



W. S. 



Pepperell, Mass. — A. O. Tower makes 

 cucumbers a specialty, but also forces 

 other vegetables.
