MentioD The Review when you write. 



kinds was quite plentiful last week and 

 demand slow. 



At the W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral 

 Co. violets and carnations were coming 

 in quite heavily from Kirkwood, with a 

 fair demand for violets, carnations and 

 roses. 



At H. G. Berning's and George H. 

 Angennueller 's there was an abundance 

 of everything, especially mums and roses. 

 The demand for stock was not as good 

 as it should be. 



The free chrysanthemum show, which 

 was held last week and this week at the 



Missouri Botanical Garden, has been a 

 great drawing-card. The show is held, 

 as usual, in a large tent and despite the 

 cold days the attendance has been large. 

 The orchid houses, in the care of G. H. 

 Print, and the cactus houses, in the care 

 of G. Thompson, have also attracted the 

 crowds during the show. The main show 

 in the tent is open until 10 p. m., with 

 plenty of electric lights. The show was 

 visited by a great many florists during 

 the week, who said these free shows do 

 draw the crowds. 



Visitors: F. J. Farney, representing 



M. Eice & Co., Philadelphia; W. E. 

 Wadsworth, representing the Columbia 

 Novelty Co., Chicago. J. J. B. 



WAYSIDE NOTES. 



Frank Burfitt, of Springfield, Mass., ia 

 looking for a suitable location, owing to 

 •the expansion of business. 



George H. Sinclair, of Holyoke, Mass.,. 

 who sent out Carnation Viola Sinclair^ 

 which is a local favorite, has a white 

 seedling that is highly promising. In 

 habit of growth it equals White En- 

 chantress, with the flower of White Per- 

 fection. We shall hear more of this 

 seedling later. 



John McKenzie, of Cambridge, Mass., 

 has moved into his new store, the only 

 one in the five-story block he recently 

 erected. He says it is the safest place 

 for the surplus, when good mums are 

 selling at less than 5 cents and can be 

 bought cheaper from the faker on the 

 street than from the wholesaler. 



Fred C. Becker, of Cambridge, does a 

 gcod business with the Harvard boys 

 and welcomes anything in red at any 

 time. 



Dan Murphy, superintendent of the 

 W. E. Doyle greenhouses, at Cambridge, 

 for many years, took a vacation recently, 

 intending to make it permanent, but the 

 temptation to return was too strong and 

 he IS back again at the old stand. The 

 boys welcomed him with a song, the re- 

 frain of which was "Danny, we haye 

 missed you." 



At W. W. Edgar's, of Waverley, 

 Mass., chrysanthemums are nearly over. 

 The earlier varieties are grown, so as to 

 give place to the big stock of bloonain^ 

 plants. Azalea Mme. Petrick will be in 

 flower for Thanksgiving. It is a good 

 seller. 



It is an inspiration at this time to 

 visit the houses of W. T. Walke, of 

 Salem, Mass., where blooming plaats are 

 grown by the houseful. Cyclamens, 

 poinsettias and Begonia Lorraine are fully 

 up to the high standard attained here. 

 I noted, when at E. W. Allen's place at 

 Hudson recently, a pretty combination 

 of poinsettia, Euphorbia jacquiniseflora 

 and ferns made up in pans, and they 

 sold at sight. Mr. Walke was panning 

 up some Bonnaflfons, naturally grown, 

 which, he says, sell well. 



A. J. Schmutz, of North Adams, Mass., 

 has Enchantress, both white and pink, 

 that average three and one-half inebea 

 across and that are perfect '< bloomft. 

 There is no sign of this grand yariety 

 giving out yet. M. ■
