The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



May 21, 1908. 



MONTREAL. 



<> .' Current Comment. : 



Bain, rain and cold is what we have 

 been experiencing for some time. In 

 many of the suburbs the river has com- 

 pletely covered fields and roads, causing 

 much damage. 



Business is quieting down, though 

 there have been a number of large 

 funerals recently, at which some beauti- 

 ful designs were seen. 



The annual horse show has given us 

 all a little work, such as decorations for 

 luncheons and dinners. One of the best 

 was done by Sir William Van Home's 

 gardener, F. Smith. On this occasion 

 jonquils were used in abundance all over 

 the house. 



At Campbell's some splendid pink 

 peonies were shown last week, and also 

 good American Beauties. 



Bedding plants of all varieties are to 

 be seen in every florist's store. 



J. Bennett has been confined to the 

 house with a touch of the grippe. 



Tommy. 



ALBANY, N. Y. 



The Albany Florists' Club met May 7 

 in H. G. Eyres', at South Knox and 

 Morris streets. Charles Sanders, fore- 

 man for the establishment, exhibited a 

 seedling geranium with bright scarlet 

 flowers of unusual size. Ho told of his 

 life work also in an interesting manner. 

 In about two years he would have com- 

 pleted half a century in the occupation. 



John J. Walsh, head gardener of 

 Washington park, and J. Lang were made 

 members. 



PEORIA, ILL. 



On account of the excessive rains, 

 most of the bottom land here is under 

 water and the Illinois river is still ris- 

 ing. On the uplands, however, garden 

 truck in sandy soil looks well and prices 

 are fair. There is a poor prospect for 

 a crop of corn, for it cannot be planted 

 while these rains continue and it is now 

 time for the seed to be in the ground. 



Greenhouse and hotbed crops were 

 good the latter part of the season. There 

 is every year a great deal of garden 

 truck grown here and quite a lot sent out 

 of town. We have too much for home 

 consumption. There is also considerable 

 fruit grown here, but we had heavy 

 spring frosts and the prospect for a 

 fruit crop is not encouraging.

 Knowlton has increased his greenhouse 

 business this spring, and is handling 

 flowers as well as vegetables.
