The casual observer, walking through 

 the begonia houses of J. A. Peterson at 

 this time, would imagine sales had been 

 poor of late. On the contrary, Gloire de 

 Lorraine never had a better sale, and 

 while quite a number are unsold, it is 

 well. Judging by the number of houses 

 being prepared for stock, the supply will 

 be as large for the next season, if not 

 larger. One house of rooted cuttings is 

 ready to pot up. There is not a sign 

 of fungus; it is as healthy a batch as 

 could be seen. 



Mr. Peterson is hybridizing and ha.s 

 one excellent improvement on Lorraine, 

 in a much larger flower, deeper in color 

 and equally free flowering. Some may 

 be placed on the market during the com- 

 ing summer. It will be interesting to 

 know that not only are our carnations 

 finding favor abroad, but Lorraine as 

 grown here has rarely been excelled 

 across the pond. When in Europe last 

 summer and on the search for really good 

 novelties. Mr. Peterson called on the 

 royal head gardener at Frogmore. This 

 gentleman had heard of his skill, espe- 

 cially as a grower of specimen Lorraine, 

 and will be the first purchaser of the new 

 seedling as soon as it is ready for dis- 

 tribution. 



I noted a batch of the new Dracaena 

 Victoria, which is a decided improve- 

 ment on D. Lindeni, being a rich golden 

 yellow, with a heavy marking in the 

 midrib. Manda's new dracaena is a 

 fine thing, but the old favorite D. tcr- 

 minalis, as grown here, will be hard to 

 eclipse in color. 



Adiantum Farleyense and Nephrolepis 

 Scottii are extensively grown here. Quite 

 a stock is on hand, but orders are com- 

 ing in freely and will make space for 

 the 100,000 begonias to be placed in 

 sand, all leaf cuttings. W. 



GRAND RAPIDS. 



Business holds steady. Shipping con- 

 tinues good and prices have dropped a 

 little since the holidays. It is predicted 

 that 1908 may be tha banner year for 

 the florists' business. The next great 

 event will be Easter, with its heavy crops 

 of lilies. One grower is getting in 

 18,000, another 12,000, and so on. There 

 will be no lack of lilies for Easter.

but a good, honest, iree and ever-blooming clear white carnation. 

 Very easily rooted, very fragrant, excellent keeper and shipper. 

 Size and stem of Enchantress, with the freedom of bloom of Mc- 

 Gowen; no cropper— always in bloom. Come and see it and 

 give it a trial. Once grown, you will not grow any other.

The Harden committee of the MassachusettB Horticultural Society recently visited the 

 KteenhouseB of H. A. Jahn, of New Bedford, to see his carnations. A white seedling which 

 is largrely planted and which has been shown at Boston and other shows, was looking fine. 

 It is the most wonderfully prolific white the committee bad seen. The flower is large, fall 

 and the stem ideal.— Boston News-letter in Nov. 28, 1907, issue of The Flobists' Review.
