The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



41 



Our 2-page adv. in the REVIEW of July 4, contained an.... 



Unqualified Guarantee 



of Three for One on all untrue stock of Peonies and Iris. 



We can do this because we are absolutely certain of every variety and every plant in our stock. 

 Pay no attention to what you read about the impossibility of knowing what you are buying or selling — 

 but buy of those who DO know what they are selling. 



See list of varieties with prices in the REVIEW of July 4, or send for descriptive price list. Send 

 orders now. We ship early in September.

gets one or several elaborate Uecorations 

 to execute. In the cut flower business 

 there is simply a fair margin of profit, 

 whereas in the case of the large decora- 

 tion, especially if there is no close com- 

 petitor, there is made out of it quite a 

 goodly sum. In decorations of the charac- 

 ter referred to, although they entail a huge 

 amount of work, the material is very of- 

 ten obtained in Newport for little or 

 nothing and consists in many instances 

 of outdoor flowers and foliage, and of 

 course the choice features connected with 

 these decorations, and sometimes the 

 material used, or a great part of it, 

 is used again on the following even- 

 ing for a like purpose. Peonies are all 

 past, but during the time they lasted 

 they played a prominent part in several 

 house decorations. 



J. Warren Spaulding is hustling in 

 an endeavor to regain the ground lost 

 on account of his long delayed opening 

 this season. The firm of which he is the 

 executive head is advertising palms and 

 other decorative foliage plants in the 

 local papers; the stated purpose of this 

 move is to realize quickly and to reduce 

 stock. We are having a spell of ex- 

 tremely dry weather; this spell began 

 about live weeks ago, with but little 

 rain since, in consequence of which many 

 things outdoors are already suffering 

 severely. 



The demand for cut flowers has in- 

 creased greatly in the last few days, 

 chiefly because outdoor roses suddenly 

 gave out.' Boses are not of very good 

 quality, as generally seen just at pres- 

 e«t. Carnations are not, as a rule, ex- 

 tra good, either. Orchids, especially 

 Cattleya gigas, are selling quickly at 

 good prices. Sweet peas are selling 

 now at fairly good prices, but in a week 

 or so the market will be glutted with 

 them. There is always a good demand 

 here during the summer for lily of the 

 ▼alley, most of which is supplied by 

 Carl Jurgens and his nephew, William 

 Jargens. I regret to state that Carl 

 Jurgens is reported ill at the Newport 

 hospital. 



Looking through the greenhouses at 

 By the Sea, where John Marshall is in 

 charge, I noticed an old lean-to house 

 enclosing a good crop of melons nearly 

 ready for market. Mr. Marshall had 

 nothing he cared to fill this old low house 

 with some time ago, so he thought of 

 melons. These melons will sell in a few 

 days for at least 50 cents each at whole- 

 sale, in the local market, which will be 

 much better than allowing the house to 

 stand empty. Max Eeilly.

Galena, III. — Ben Vandervate killed 

 a pilot snake seven feet long July 13. 



Sterling, III. — The heavy rain on the 

 night of July 10 .caused considerable 

 damage to the plant of the Sterling 

 Floraf Co., where building operations are 

 now under way. The water undermined 

 the wall in the room where the boilers 

 are to be installed. The old boilers had 

 not been taken out and were half buried 

 in the debris of the fallen wall and the 

 earth that followed it into the excavation. 

 The cast-iron fronts of the boilers were 

 broken and it had been intended to use 

 them for the new boilers.
