The Weekly Florists^ Review*

Florists Require the Best 



refrigerator they can get to keep their stock in a salable con- 

 dition. Flowers require the best system of cooling to keep 

 them fresh, fragrant and attractive to the buyer. Florists 

 have greater success by using McCray Refrigerators. 



>CcCr^y l^igcrators 



are built especially for florists. They have a patented system of refrig- 

 eration, which forces pure, fresh and cold air to all corners of the storage 

 compartment. A McCray uses less ice than any other refrigerator. This 

 saving in ice actually pays the first cost. They are lined with white 

 enamel", tile, opal glass, marble or mirrors, as you prefer— easily kept 

 clean and sweet and sanitary at all times. 



The McCray line for florists consists of a wide range of regular sizes 

 for immediate shipment, or they may be built to order for any requirement. 



Write today— at once, for beautiful descriptive cata- 

 log No. 71, showing the entire line for Florists.

NEW ORLEANS. 



The Market 



During the month of March in New 

 Orleans more plants are sold at the 

 markets than in any other month of the 

 year. So far this year business has been 

 quite fair, considering the past mild 

 winter. Bedding plants are generally 

 in demand. Geraniums were not killed 

 by frost and are now very cheap, only 

 the light and fancy colors being bought. 

 Ferns sell well, but prices are low. Soft 

 palms are less in demand than ever. 

 Hardy palms for outside planting find 

 a ready sale all the time. 



Various Notes. 



At the committee meeting held March 

 12, the prize list for the next fall flow- 

 er show was revised, and Chairpian J. 

 Newsham appointed as a sub-committee 

 to look for a location the following mem- 

 bers: H. Papworth, Joseph Steckler and 

 P. Chopin. 



H. Baker, at his downtown garden, has 

 a beautiful batch of longiflorum lilies 

 from bulbs growing almost wild around 

 New Orleans. They have been grown 

 in pots in coldframes and look more 

 healthy than any imported stock, either 

 from Bermuda or Japan. More attention 

 and careful growing should be given 

 to our home-growing stock of these bulbs 

 and then there will be better success 

 and less complaint about disease of im- 

 ported bulbs. M. M. L.

 Ind. 



Keokuk Ia. — C. Sommer erected one 

 greenhouse last fall and may add one 

 more this spring, as the trade is large 

 enough to use considerably more stock 

 than can be grown in the present houses. 

 The place is finely located at the entrance 

 of a cemetery.
