The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Apbil 16, 1908. 



WAYSIDE NOTES. 



F. G. Danforth, of Skowhegan, Me., 

 notes an increasing demand from far- 

 ©flf points for flowers. Even from the 

 lumbering camps come orders for funeral 

 designs. He has fifteen hundred boxes 

 planted with asters and tomatoes, which 

 fill the space vacated by violets thrown 

 out as soon as this flower becomes com- 

 mon. A house 30x200 feet will be built 

 this spring, possibly for roses, as Beau- 

 ties with stems five feet in length are 

 not a rarity here. 



Mitchell & Co., of Waterville, Me., 

 have their handsome store fixed up for 

 Easter. There is nothing to excel it 

 in the state. Their delivery wagon is 

 a gem and a fine ad. Funeral work has 

 been heavy of late and called for some 

 large pieces. 



Adam Sekenger, of Bangor, Me., was 

 almost too busy to talk at the time of 

 my visit. A big shipping business is 

 done, which taxes the resources of the 

 entire force at times. Easter stock, es- 

 pecially roses, is in excellent shape. 

 Heavy orders for funeral work have 

 kept business up to last year's mark. 

 Miss Sekenger is the artist and receives 

 many compliments for her work. 



Mrs. T. Allen, of Bangor, carries on 

 the snug business established by her 

 husband forty years ago and is ably 

 assisted by her son and daughter. The 

 whole plant has been remodeled and 

 made up-to-date. 



Buckley & Preble, of Bangor, have 

 succeeded F. J. Moses, who still has his 

 branch at Bar Harbor. They find the 

 combination of drugs, cigars and flowers 

 works well. 



The Mount Hope Floral Co., of 

 Bangor, is in extremis, having been ab- 

 sorbed by the New Floral Co. 



Our pioneer fellow craftsman, Albert 

 Dirwanger, of Portland, Me., has the 

 sympathy of the trade in the loss of 

 his side partner, who for forty years 

 assisted him in the business. 



C. L. Howe, of Dover, N. H., says 

 business has been good and prospects for 

 Easter are encouraging. His stock was 

 never in better shape. 



William T. Walke, of Salem, Mass., 

 has a fine batch of lilies in shape for 

 Easter and expects to clean out early. 



I LIKE the Review best of all; it is 

 very interesting and instructive. — LuD-

NEW CANNAS 



1908 



pncCA nifiAyTFA "^his beautiful variety has extra large flowers, which 

 "*'*^^^ Mlvwn I fcfti gfg borne in such abundance that the mass of 

 color on each plant is amazing. Single petals are 2}i inches across; color, a 

 deep, rich rose, almost a coral carmine. Plants make a vigorous growth, pro- 

 ducing unusually fine clumps of green foliage. Height, 4 feet. (A great fa- 

 vorite with visitors to our trial grounds.) Strong plants, $2.00 each, prepaid; 

 $18.00 per doz. by express, not prepaid. 



PI Anin>FI nRA Rena^rkable for the unusual shape of the flowers, which 

 UUWmu ruunw. ^^^^ uj^g j^rge Gladioli. Petals are not long, but short 

 and rounded and so wide they overlap each other, thus giving a very attract- 

 ive appearance to the flowers. Color is crimson, changing to carmine rose 

 with an uneven edge of gold to each petal. Height, 3}^ feet. Price, strong 

 plants, $2.00 each, prepaid; $18.00 per doz. by express, not prepaid. 

 KlCTCnp Meteor is a vigorous grower with healthy green foliage. It is 

 ""^ ' ^W"« highly valued because of its magnificent flowers; fully four 

 inches across, and abundance of bloom. Color is a deep crimson; very rich; 

 each plant usually throws up five to six trusses of buds, which continue 

 blooming luxuriantly all summer through. Price, plants or dormant roots, 

 75c each, postpaid; $6.00 per doz. by express, not prepaid. 



WILLIAM SAUNDERS (l^^^)- '^^^ flowers are large.of splendid form 



If IUI.Ifilfl qfimiUfcllw j^jj^j ^fg borne very freely in immense clust- 

 ers. The color is a deep, rich, shining scarlet, lightly dappled wiih crimson. 

 Foliage is a rich bronze. Height, 3>^ to 4 feet. We believe that Wm. Saun- 

 ders is decidedly the most perfect cannaof this type that has been introduced. 

 Those who tried Wm . Saunders in 1907 say it cannot be excelled . We offer plants 

 only: 60c ea. postpaid; $5.00 per doz.; $35.00 per 100 by express, not prepaid.
