The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Mabch 12, 1908. 



America. The Formosa and southern 

 Japanese bulbs ripen a month earlier 

 and are more likely to give satisfactory 

 results here. 



A good audience listened to President 

 Kenyon L. Butterfield, of the Massachu- 

 setts Agricultural College, Amherst, when 

 he spoke on "Agricultural Education" 

 at Horticultural hall March 7.

WAYSIDE NOTES. 



At Sandy Hill, N. Y., J. L. Watkins 

 & Son is the title of the new firm, which 

 is composed of the son and daughter of 

 the founder, who recently joined the big 

 majority, leaving a snug business of 

 thirty years' standing. 



H. L. CrandeU, of Glens Falls, N. Y., 

 remarked that notwithstanding the finan- 

 cial stringency he has found a good de- 

 mand for choice stock. The new addi- 

 tion of 3,500 feet and a handsome office 

 makes a complete square. 



Baker Bros., of Kutland, Vt., have an 

 up-to-date plant and successfully com- 

 bine the unusual trinity of farmers, 

 florists and market gardeners. 



A. J. Courcelle, of Butland, Vt., re- 

 ports a good season for funeral work. 



Geo. E. Hunt, of Butland, Vt., says 

 he has no kick coming. 



L. C. Holton, of Bennington, Vt., is 

 sanguine as to the future, although he 

 says this is the first quiet season he has 

 experienced in twenty years. 

 '' A. J. Schmutz, of North Adams, 

 Mass., has made quite a change in his 

 plant, making it very attractive. He 

 says the shekels did not roll his way 

 quite 80 fast this season as heretofore, 

 but there is a good time coming. 



I met E, A. Richards, of Greenfield, 

 Mass., just returning from the big car- 

 nation show at Boston. He said the ex- 

 hibits were all that could be desired and 

 worth going a day's journey to see. 

 Harry Sinclair made a fine showing with 

 the President Seelye, so much so that a 

 leading grower made a special trip to see 

 the stock growing and placed a banner 

 order, with the promise of an addition 

 as aooD aa he reached home: I paid a 

 visit to Northampton and met H. W. 

 Field, who was kept home with a heavy 

 cold. He says Seelye is stronger than 

 Wbit« Enchantress. Violet Princess of 

 Walea Is in fine form, but undoubtedly 

 the new Boston, of William Sim, will 

 flod ipace here, as the big college trade 

 demands all tiie newest and best that can 

 bp produced. 



Joi. Beach, of South Hadley Falls, 

 MsiS., was, at last reports, wending his 

 way home from the sunny south, where 

 be lia« been sojourning for a while, with 

 hU Bide partner. Meanwhile Joe, junior, 

 hai taken care that nothing suffered 

 during the absence of the head. 



J. r. Huss, of Hartford, Conn., was 

 taking cuttings of that fine old favorite, 

 Cborizema cordatum splendens, at the 

 time of my visit, and we both agreed 

 that this pretty and attractive plant was 

 worthy of wider recognition than it re- 

 ceives here. It is easy of culture and is 

 fairly smothered with bloom from early 

 until late. Clianthus Dampieri is an- 

 other old-time favorite. But Alpine 

 plants are the chief hobby of our genial 

 iriend, who glories in reciting the names 

 of a hundred or more Alpines alone, to 

 say nothing of the grand collection of 

 hardy ferns. Among the newest arrivals 

 is Grammitis leptophylla, an annual of 

 Europe; also a new nephrolepis from

THE READERS' CORNER. 



Daffodils. 



Why do people in the various wholesale 

 cut flower markets call Emperor, etc., jon- 

 quils? Is it not time this was corrected? 

 And as this seems to be quite the coming 

 thing in this country, call them daffodils 

 if you will. In Europe the varieties are 

 quoted separately: Emperor, Empress, 

 Sir Watkin, Barri omatus, etc. It would 

 be equally unjust to quote carnations as 

 pinks. 0. W. D 'Alcorn.
