The Weekly Florists" Review*

SALEM» OHIO. 



(Iiristmas trade was good. Cut flowers 

 ^vt'ie fully up to former years, and the 

 l)looniing plant trade was far ahead of 

 any year. 



Joseph Bonsall, who has been in the 

 flower business for over thirty years,' says 

 that there has never been the demand or 

 till' volume of business that there was 

 this year. 



John W. Scott, of Lisbon, O., reports 

 tiint this year's business has set a new 

 lii-rli-water mark in total sales. He has 

 jbst finished a new greenhouse, 15x70, 

 w'lich he will plant to smilax. 



V. A. Cowgill has just finished the 

 1) lilding of six new houses, consisting of 

 three carnation houses, one smilax house, 

 ii propagating and a forcing house; all 

 (if them combined contain about 16,000 

 square feet. This makes this entire place 

 new in the last three years, with the ex- 

 ception of about 2,000 feet, and the place 

 iKiW consists of 40,000 square feet. In 

 aildition to the above, Mr. Cowgill has 

 leased the rose houses of J. E. Bonsall, 

 embracing about 38,000 square feet of 

 ^'lass, and these, in addition to his own 

 lose house, 30x250, will mean a largo 

 number of Kaiserin roses. V. A. C. 



Oconto, Wis. — Joseph Sylvester says 

 the wholesale plant trade for Christmas* 

 lias been about as usual; no surplus of 

 (lowering plants of any kind.
