The Weekly Horists* Review. 



NOTBHBBB 28, 1907. 



promise to clean out as well as any 

 flowers, colored sorts of course being 

 in best demand. Chrysanthemums will 

 not cut much of a figure after the pres- 

 ent week. The finest flowers seen are 

 that excellent late white, Mile. Jeanne 

 Nonin. There are also some good Chad- 

 wick, Golden Dome and Eaton. Of 

 course Bonnaffon is most abundant of 

 the cheaper varieties. Violets have 

 made a little spurt and with clear 

 skies may reach the dollar mark. Pa- 

 per Whites are now quite plentiful. 

 Callas are more abundant, as are lilies. 

 Valley is in good supply. There are a 

 few sweet peas and some nice garde- 

 nias. Cypripedium insigne and cattleyas 

 are among choice flowers. No special 

 change in prices of green supplies. 



Various Notes. 



Patten & Co. are finding Variegated 

 Lawson prolific this season and the 

 plants carry long stems. They are grow- 

 ing quite a few Winsor, which are do- 

 ing well. They have a number of 

 promising seedlings coming along. 



The club field day at Framingham 

 December 14 will undoubtedly draw a 

 big crowd. Carnations are always a po- 

 tent attraction when seen as they are 

 done with the Pramingham growers. 



S. J. Goddard has been on the sick 

 list, but we are pleased to report him as 

 much improved. 



The club landscape gardening classes 

 will be held on Tuesday and Friday 

 evenings at Horticultural hall, com- 

 mencing December 3. One class is for 

 advanced students, the other for be- 

 ginners. There will be thirty lessons 

 for a total cost of only $8. 



J. T. Butterworth has this season 

 many Cattleya labiata sheaths carry- 

 ing six flowers each and quite a few 

 with seven each. His Cypripedium in- 

 signe are fine. 



Henry M. Eobinson & Co. have re- 

 ceived many more orders for Thanks- 

 giving than a year ago and anticipate 

 first-class business this week. 



Wheeler & Co., of Waban, have a 

 fine house of Cattleya labiata. They 

 had 2,500 flowers open a few days ago. 



The Harvard-Yale football game, 

 played at Cambridge November 23, 

 caused a lively demand for violets and 

 crimson mums and carnations. The 

 weather was clear for the first time in 

 a week and this helped trade. 



A telegraphic error made the name 

 of P. P. Davis appear in the last issue 

 of the Review as the newly elected 

 vice-president of the Gardeners' and 

 Florists' Club, instead of William 

 Downs. The latter served efficiently on 

 the executive committee last year, and 

 his promotion is well merited. 



Herman Waldecker, of Braintree, 

 has a fine lot of carnations this season. 

 Mr. Waldecker is a thoroughly up-to- 

 date grower, having some fine, modern 

 honses. 



Thomas Boland is marketing some of 

 his fine cyclamens, which are superior 

 to any seen on the Boston market be- 

 fore. 



Sidney Hoffman is rapidly coming to 

 the fore as one of the most up-to-date 

 Boston retailers. His successes in the 

 competitive classes at Horticultural 

 hall have gre&tly benefited him. Mr. 

 Hoffman's window displays at his Mas- 

 sachusetts avenue store are always at- 

 tractive and rivet the attention of pass- 

 ers-by.

 cialist on Marguerites, is bringing in
