The Weekly Florists' Review# 



Jolt 23, 1908. 



flowers turn to rose and later to dark 

 red. Steltzneri is a free blooming sort 

 of good habit, carrying dark rose colored 

 flowers, while Desboisi has blooms of a 

 somewhat similar color. 



Hydrangea arborescens is a valuable 

 native shrub, now in bloom. It is com- 

 monly called the wild hydrangea and 

 attains a maximum height of eight feet. 

 It is found growing naturally from New 

 Jersey and Iowa south to Florida. It 

 withstands our northern winters with no 

 more injury than H. paniculata sustains. 

 The form H. arborescens sterilis, Hills 

 of Snow, instead of having its flowers 

 in flat-topped clusters, has all the flowers 

 ray-like and sterile, resembling a snow- 

 baJl. The varieties severally named ar- 

 borescens grandiflora nivea and arbor- 

 escens grandiflora nivea forma nova are 

 similar to Hills of Snow and were in 

 bloom near Boston, June 27. All these 

 hydrangeas can readily be propagated 

 from soft wood cuttings rooted in a cold- 

 frame or ordinary propagating bench, 

 which has the needed shade and moisture. 



PROSPERITY IN FLORIDA. 



G. L. Taber, of Glen Saint Mary, Fla., 

 is president of the well-known Glen Saint 

 Mary Nurseries Co. His company was 

 incorporated a year ago, taking over the 

 business of which Mr. Taber had for 

 twenty-five years been sole owner. The 

 company has just declared an eight per 

 cent dividend, and Mr. Taber, together 

 with the other stockholders, is highly 

 elated that the company is able to make 

 this liberal dividend. Mr. Taber says 

 that notwithstanding the financial stress 

 that prevailed the country over, the sales 

 of his company were over thirty per cent 

 more than during any preceding year 

 since the nurseries were established, and 

 that the outlook for the future was never 

 more promising. 



THE JUNEBERRY. 



The Juneberry is native in America 

 east of the Missouri river, and the Na- 

 tional Council of Horticulture says that 

 in regions where larger and more highly 

 developed fruits do not succeed well it is 

 destined to be of great value. It has 

 a small core like the apple, but the seeds 

 are minute. The fruit is borne in open 

 racemes, and ripens in June. It is very 

 sweet. The berries are about the size 

 of the wild black cherry and of a dark 

 red, almost black color. 



The trees attain a height of thirty feet 

 or more and bear abundantly. In bloom 

 they have great ornamental value. They 

 are excellent as wind breakers, and to 

 protect smaller fruits from birds. The 

 berry is eaten raw or cooked. It makes 

 fij^e pies and is excellent stewed. There 

 are several improved varieties, the Hall, 

 Osage, Beeves, Alpina and Success being 

 most valuable for the central west. The 



!)lant is a fairly rapid grower and is not 

 iable to serious insect or fungus at- 

 tacks. 



Neoaunee, Mich. — Good progress has 

 been made in the building of the new 

 greenhouses for the Cleveland CriflPs Co. 

 A considerable part of the framework 

 has been erected and some of the glaz- 

 ing has been done. 



Adrian, Mich. — The flower depart- 

 ment of the C. C. Van Doren store, un- 

 der the new name of the Maple City 

 Floral Co., is now situated at 27 East 

 Maumee street, having opened its doors 

 to the public Thursday evening, July 2.
