The Weekly Florists' Review.

more water than other teas. Carnations 

 are very promising. Enchantress and 

 Queen Louise are the only two kinds 

 grown and are kept under glass all sum- 

 mer. Pink Enchantress lias not been 

 tried, but Mr. Scott says they will have 

 it another season, not wishing to be be- 

 hindhand with a good thing. He has 

 made several improvements and has 

 things in excellent shape. In time 

 benches will be done away with, as he is 

 convinced that solid beds are the thing 

 in the south, where the sun has such 

 power. 



Chrysanthemums are passing, but those 

 having late kinds are getting good prices. 

 There is an abundance of good stock out- 

 doors, which affects the sale of early varie- 

 ties. Timothy Eaton, Mrs. Jerome Jones 

 and Dr. Enguehard, with Golden Wed- 

 ding, are the chief kinds. I saw some 

 grand blooms of these in the swell store 

 of the C. A. Dahl Co., where Logan D. 

 Thompson has introduced metropolitan 

 ideas; in fact, it is doubtful whether a 

 more handsome and attractive store of 

 its size can be found anywhere. I saw 

 some grand Beauties here. 



I met Dr. Howard, of the Atlanta 

 Floral Co., returning from his extensive 

 plant. He is quite an expert in the busi- 

 ness and has a fine stock on hand. 



Wachendorf Bros, have made great im- 

 provements and added new houses. They 

 <lo a big outside business, roses being a 

 strong feature, especially the crimson 

 p]toile de France, which they consider the 

 best outdoor tea yet introduced and an 

 excellent companion to Maman Cochet, 

 white, which grows to an immense size 

 here. 



I found Mark W. Johnson, of the John- 

 son Seed Co., engaged in reading the Ee- 

 viEw. He says the seed bulletins issued 

 weekly are very interesting and keep 

 folks posted when so far from the seat 

 of war. Mr. Johnson landed here and 

 embarked in the business directly after 

 the war, and although he follows along 

 tlie old lines, he does a remarkable busi- 

 ness, 



Katzenstein & Co. are busy removing 

 into larger quarters. Seedsmen seem to 

 have the moving fever about this time.

Chas. N. Woodruff has the plant for- 

 merly owned by his father and does a 

 good business. His specialty is outdoor 

 roses, grown on a ten-acre lot a short dis- 

 tance out. Such varieties as Etoile de 

 Prance, Maman Cochet, Kaiserin, Welles- 

 ley, Hermosa and Etoile de Lyon should 

 be in every southern garden. They thrive 

 luxuriantly in this rich red soil and clear 

 atmosphere. 



D. C. Horgan, of the Idle Hour Nurser- 

 ies, was inclined to think the stringency 

 in the money market is responsible for 

 the sudden let-up in business which 

 started in with a boom. Certainly it is 

 not because this establishment is not pro- 

 ducing the stock or is lacking in an at- 

 tractive display. ^ 



I LIKE the Review best of all; it is 

 very interesting and instructive.— LuD-

 parison with any other.-G. H. Hankele,
