The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



JANUABY 27, 1910. 



gated, in good shape. The number of 

 new light pink sorts was the subject of 

 comment; Enchantress hardly was in evi- 

 dence and certainly could not stand up 

 beside the new sorts. Baur & Smith had 

 two fine vases of Shasta, white, which 

 everybody likes for its form. Scarlet 

 Glow, which F. Dorner & Sons Co. is 

 sending out, was second only to one of 

 the finest vases of Beacon ever staged. 



Of the sorts that will make their bids 

 next season or later, some of the most 

 prominent were: 



W. "W. Coles, Kokomo, Ind., staged a 



variety; the color shows up splendidly 

 under electric light. 



F. Dorner & Sons Co. won the silver 

 S. A. F. medal with their red, Hoosier 

 Lad. They also had a light pink seed- 

 ling, No. 42-06, and a white, No. 68-06. 



Baur & Smith, Indianapolis, besides 

 Shasta, had a rose-pink sport of May 

 that was well liked, and a crimson seed- 

 ling. No. 653. 



Eobert Craig Co., Philadelphia, had a 

 couple of fine vases of a new white, 

 Norwood, that they plan to disseminate 

 next year.

crimson, named for his wife, that was 

 good for a certificate. 



The Miami Floral Co., Dayton, O., had 

 a fine vase of Miami Queen, pink, and 

 other seedlings. 



Wilson & Weber, Brooklyn, had a hand- 

 some lot of a fringed pink seedling, 

 raised by the latter, which they call 

 Brooklyn and which will be sent out 

 next jear. As staged it looks a good 

 thing. 



Henry Fichholz, Waynesboro, Pa., put 

 up a fine vase of Washington, a bright 

 pink sport of Enchantress, the variety re- 

 (•ently soM to the Chicago Carnation Co.; 

 nlso several pot plants of the variety

 perba, another light pink, and Clara 

 Mae, a brighter pink that looks prom- 

 ising. 



F. E. Pierson Co., Tarrytown, had a 

 fine lot of standard varieties but only one 

 new sort, No. 40, light pink, that Mr. 

 Pierson thinks highly of as a commercial

 with White House, took a medal over 

 three of the finest vases of 100 whites 

 any set of judges ever tackled, and Alma 

 Ward was among them. Dailledouze 

 Bros, also had a good variegated. No. 

 303. 



R. Witterstaetter showed two vases of 

 100 each, No. 1400-E, light pink, a sue 

 cessor to his J. A. Valentine, sent out 

 some time ago, that he purposes to call 

 President Valentine, and No. 1407 (), an 

 improved Afterglow. 



Nic Zweifel, North Milwaukee, came to 

 the front in good shape with his bright 

 l)ink. Bright Spot, that he plans to send 

 out next year. 



The Wanoka Greenhouses, Barneveld, 

 N. Y., had some good looking seedlings 

 in Rainbow, variegated, Sultana, crimson,

 Greenwood, still another light pink; No. 

 2807-A, crimson; No. 607-A, also light 

 pink, and No. 11004-A, another crimson.

 ber of seedlings under number that were 

 without grower's name. A vase of a 

 white delicately suffused with pink
