The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Februaky 10, 1010. 



DETROIT. 



The Market. 



Business is rushing and the weather 

 is good, but stock is scarce excepting 

 carnations. Some few weeks ago carna- 

 tions were at a premium, but just at 

 present they are plentiful and the quality 

 is fine, with but few exceptions, lioses 

 are good, but exceedingly scarce, and 

 orchids and gardenias meet with a good 

 demand, better than in previous years. 

 Bulbous stock is cominrr along nicely and 

 cleaning up well, excepting tulips in 

 light colors. Considerable southern smi- 

 lax is used for decorations for large 

 fancy dress balls. 



Various Notes. 



Harry Bunyard was an interested lis- 

 tener at the recent meeting of the Flo- 

 rists' Club, and offered some good sug- 

 gestions concerning flower shows. 



The best Killarney now seen in these 

 parts are being consigned to the Michi- 

 gan Cut Flower Exchange by John Casey, 

 of Mount Clemens. 



Jacob Miller, of Kinnell & Miller, con- 

 tractors, recently gave a talk and dem- 

 onstration on cement benches, which 

 proved most interesting. 



The last meeting of the Florists' Club 

 was fairly well attended. The better 

 part of the evening was spent in discuss- 

 ing the fall show. Various schemes of 

 advertising, decorating of hall, raising 

 funds, etc., were brought up. H. S. 



Portland, Me. — The business of the 

 E. J, Harmon Co. has now been incorpo- 

 rated, with a capital stock of $10,000. 

 The oflScers are: President, Edward J. 

 Harmon; treasurer, Mabel I. Hayes. 

 Last fall the firm opened a handsome, 

 finely equipped store in the new Baxter 

 building, and Miss Hayes has been one 

 of the managers of this place. 



North Adams, Mass. — Has it ever 

 occurred to you that the refuse of to- 

 bacco dust, remaining after fumigating, 

 makes an excellent substitute for wood 

 ashes f A. J. Schmutz found this out by 

 accident. Usually throwing the ashes 

 on the bench at a particular spot, he was 

 surprised to find the plants in the imme- 

 diate vicinity doing so much better than 

 those not so favored. Now he gives the 

 beds all that can be gathered. 



PILLSBURY'S CARNATION STAPLE 



Tbe best, cheapest, quickest, simplest and easi- 

 est way to fix your split carnations. No tools 

 required. 



"Just the thing we have been Iookin|r for." 



Ten Eyck & Son. 

 The best thing out, have thrown all other Carnation 

 menders away." - S.W.Carey.

TWELVE FOOT SWEET PEAS IN THESE 

 THREE HITCHINGS HOUSES 



Sounds like a "Jack and the Beanstalk " story, but it's true. 



They are at Baldwin, L. 1., and George Schuuemaon is the man who is 

 growing them. 



Fjanted in July, Mr. Schunemann began cutting the latter part of Sep- 

 tember. Instesd of tearing them out about this time they are 'climbing pretty 

 near the ridge, 15^ feet high, and are loaded down with big blooms, and good 

 for several weeks more cutting. 



That's one of tbe ttiings that have been done in light, tight, perfectly 

 ventilated and rightly heated houses. 



It paid him to build HitchingB Houses, it will pay you.
