The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



G, W. Renard. 



Mme. J. Rivol, a bronzy pink, large, full 

 and solid, a good commercial flower; M. 

 Pechow, a golden yellow, full open 

 flower, good for private growers; Mrs. 

 Geo. Beach, incurved golden yellow, full 

 and fine, reminding of Bonnaflfon; M. 

 oeorges Truflfant, clear yellow, incurved, 

 full, fine commercial or otherwise, paler 

 in color, but style of Bonnaflfon ; Marie

 what flat, suggestive of Silver Wedding, 

 bat larger; Dubuisson Foubert, warm 

 yellow, large, full, paler than, but sug- 

 gestive of. Golden Wedding, fine for pri- 

 vate growers: Mile. Suzanne Gauthiers, 

 white, reflexed narrow petals, but globu-

THE EXTREMES. 



Please state what is the earliest and 

 also the latest commercial chrysanthe- 

 mums, and where I can get stock, 



F. R. 



The best late chrysanthemum, so far 

 as my experience goes, is Chadwick. The 

 color of this variety is a flesh white. It 

 has also a pink and a yellow sport 

 named W. S. Allen and Yellow Chadwick 

 respectively. The earliest large flower, 

 and the one that seems to give the most 

 general satisfaction, is Monrovia, a yel- 

 a\. V varieties will, I have no 



doubt, be easily procured from any of 

 the advertisers of stock plants in this 

 paper. (, jj ^ 



A HOUSE OF IVORY. 



G. W. Benard, at Avondale, Pa., is one 

 of those growers who has not found 

 axiything among the later varieties of 

 chrysanthemums to displace Ivory as a 

 money maker. The accompanying illus- 

 tration shows a house 28x100 feet, con- 

 taimng 6,000 plants of Ivory, grown two 

 flowers to the plant, the house contain- 

 uig 12,000 blooms all in fine shape. Mr. 

 Kenard finds Ivory about the readiest 

 seller there is for the store man with the 



average class of trade. It is easy to 

 handle and always sure of a market. 



Mr. Eenard is a young man endowed 

 by nature with the heavy chin denoting 

 courage and determination. He has been 

 exceptionally successful in his business 

 and is steadily pushing his way to the 

 front. He knows a good thing when he 

 sees it and has that other, and none too 

 common, trait of being wise enough to 

 let well enough alone. 



ANOTHER CASE OF THRIPS. 



Under separate cover I send some in- 

 sects of which I find lots on my chrys- 

 anthemums. Will you please tell me if 

 these are the cause of the buds being 

 misshapen, opening the petals only on 

 one side? I used to have fine mums and 

 have given them better care this year 

 than ever, I think. I planted on solid 

 beds this year. Is the trouble due to 

 that, perhaps? N. N. 



The thrips enclosed are the cause of 

 the buds coming misshapen, and in some 



localities they do an immense amount 

 of damage. Planting on solid beds 

 makes no difference so far as the thrips 

 are concerned. All beds look alike to him 

 so long as the buds are on the plants. 

 Spraying the plants with a solution of 

 nicotine makes things unpleasant for this 

 insect, but nothing is really so effective 

 as catching them and killing them.*" I 

 know this seems like a hopeless job, but 

 perseverance will accomplish wonders.
