The Weekly Florists' Review* 



June 4, 1908. 



SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. 



Current G>minent 



Last week was a record-breaker in 

 the sale of cut blooms in the peony 

 trade, large quantities having been dis- 

 posed of locally and quite a number of 

 shipments made to out-of-town points. 



Thomas McBeth timed his crop nicely, 

 cutting the blooms while solid and bring- 

 ing them to perfection in cellar storage 

 just in season for Memorial day trade. 



Many of our citizens, who had learned 

 of the gorgeous sight on the grounds of 

 the National Peony Co., journeyed seven 

 miles over the Fairfield turnpike by 

 automobile or carriage and were amply 

 repaid for the trip. Six and one-half 

 acres of peonies in full bloom, and in 

 all standard and newer varieties, was 

 & sight well worth beholding. * John 

 M. Good and Ward Welch, under straw 

 hat and kerchief, were busily engaged 

 in taking notes, throwing out mixtures 

 and discarding varieties showing unde- 

 sirable features, to the end that they 

 ought have a stock embracing the best 

 sorts, absolutely true to label. For quite 

 a number of days preceding Memorial 

 day, they have remained on the prem- 

 ises, boarding and lodging at a farm 

 house on the place. 



Carrie M. Howell, our enterprising 

 woman florist, is adding a house, 20x50, 

 in which to increase her output for the 

 local market. 



The new cut rose house of the Leedle 

 Eosary Co. is nearing completion and 

 the benches will be covered with soil 

 during the present week. This house 

 makes an attractive appearance and is 

 the subject of much favorable com- 

 ment. 



Stocks of rose plants have been fairly 

 well cleaned out, but in the lines of 

 soft stuff customarily grown here some 

 surplus is reported. Ge Dale. 



Baltimore, Mo.-^The Johns Hopkins 

 trustees will erect a greenhouse, 20x75 

 feet, on the west side of Charles street, 

 at Merryman's lane.
