The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



i2n 



axe Heen irith anthers on them, it is evi- 

 «lenc6 tia4 they have opened since they 

 were eat, and are not fresh. Only the 

 othef moraing I noticed a coster carry- 

 ing out a large armful of longiflorum, 

 and I was surprised, but a second glance 

 proved that they were not fresh cut, from 

 the fact that many of the flowers had the 

 anthers •& them. 



I woald further point out that any one 

 having to depend upon the market for 

 flowers for floral arrangements could not 

 compete unless he could order the flowers 

 specially for the purpose, and then the 

 pollen would have quite spoiled the ap- 

 pearance of the blooms. In conclusion, 

 I may say that when flowers are shown 

 for their own merit alone, it may be 

 quite right to insist on them being shown 

 as they grow; yet when used for 

 decorative effect anything superfluous 

 may be removed, especially if it is going 

 to disfignre the flowers. — Horticultural
