The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



July 2, 1908. 



ROCHESTER, N. Y. 



The weather has been hot for the last 

 few weeks, which has affected all kinds 

 of stock. We have had the usual demand 

 for weddings and graduations, which 

 helped to move off some of the stock, 

 with the exception df carnations, which 

 have been a glut on the market for some 

 time. Good roses have been in demand, 

 but almost impossible to get hold of, 

 being small and full of mildew, which 

 makes it impossible to get anything out 

 of them. Sweet peas are plentiful and 

 do not seem to go as well as formerly. 

 Hard times may have a lot to do with 

 this, although we don't hear much com- 

 plaint so far. 



Bedding stock went off in good shape 

 and is practically all sold, and from the 

 prospects there will be little going on 

 for the next two or three months.

NEWARK, N. J. 



On Monday afternoon, June 15, this 

 city was swept by one of the fiercest 

 storms that have been experienced here 

 for many years. The wind, which was 

 almost a tornado in its velocity, wrecked 

 buildings and tore down trees. Olympic 

 park, which was directly in the path of 

 the storm, was damaged to the extent 

 of about $3,000. 



A quarter of a mile of fence was torn 

 up and hurled over the Hausmann 

 Bros.' strawberry patch, destroying the 

 fruit. 



Hausmann 's farm suffered much. 

 Several hundred coldframe sashes were 

 stacked up near a barn, and in an in- 

 stant the gale sent a large number of 

 these high in the air, hurling them 

 among the strawberry fields and grape 

 vines, smashing many dollars' worth of 

 glass and frames. 



The damage to the crops is consider- 

 able, especially to the flowers that are 

 grown for the Newark market. Half an 

 acre of sweet peas was laid flat. 



NEGAUNEE, MICH. 



Work was begun June 23 in the erec- 

 tion of the additional greenhouses for 

 the Cleveland Cliffs Co. The contractor 

 in charge is Andrew Lindquist. The site 

 chosen is the vacant space south of the 

 old Mackinaw depot, between Gold and 

 Silver streets, as the piece of ground 

 occupied by the present houses was not 

 considered large enough for the neces- 

 sary additions. The grading for the 

 foundations and for the shrubbery gar- 

 dens was completed a week or two ago. 



The new range will consist of six 

 houses, each 21x115, and the material 

 for these is furnished by the Foley Mfg. 

 Co., of Chicago. A new office and boiler- 

 house are also included in the plans. 



Jamestown, O. — Henry C. Fenker will 

 build another greenhouse this season. He 

 says he feels quite encouraged at the end 

 of his first year in the business. He sold 

 all his bedding stock three days before 

 Decoration day.
