The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Jdnb 15, 1911. 



onies are used for all occasions — wed- 

 dings, funerals, gift flowers and re- 

 membrances for the sick. A week of 

 cool, cloudy weather has produced some 

 large, crisp carnations of good color, 

 quite out of the ordinary for June. 

 They find a ready market, as good car- 

 nations do at all times of the year. 

 Boses of all kinds have been much 

 better since the weather became cooler. 

 Killarneys and "White Killarneys are 

 strong and good in color, but red roses 

 are scarce and therefore expensive. 

 Beauties are about the same as last 

 week, but just a little deeper in color. 

 They still bring a good price. 



Garden flowers are taking the place 

 of greenhouse flowers this month. 

 Quantities of iris, syringas, cut pansies, 

 Canterbury bells, larkspurs, pyrethrums, 

 etc., are used for table decorations and 

 as gift flowers. 



In flowering plants there are but few 

 rhododendrons, ramblers and gloxinias, 

 and extremely few late spiraeas. 



Various Notes. 



George Hart is about sold out of bed- 

 ding plants, and reports a good spring 

 trade. 



James Vick's Sons are still selling 

 large quantities of cabbage and tomato 

 plants, as well as aster, marigold and 

 mignonette seedlings. Other plants, 

 such as geraniums, vincas, petunias, 

 salvias, etc., have sold well. 



E. C. Campbell has begun cutting 

 some of his summer crop of orchids — 

 Cattleya gigas — but it is a little early 

 to cut any quantity of the blooms as 

 yet. 



The two largest weddings last week 

 were the Roberts-Woodworth and "the 

 Eockwood-Tubbs nuptials. The deco- 

 rations at both weddings were the work 

 of J. B. Keller's Sons, of 25 Clinton 

 avenue, north. 



The Robert Craig Co., of Philadel- 

 phia, has forwarded a good sized ship- 

 ment of cyclamen of the giant variety 

 to Campbell's greenhouses, in this city. 



A. N. Pierson, of Cromwell, Conn., is 

 shipping large quantities of valley into 

 this market. He is also sending some 

 fine Star bouvardias. 



The rhododendrons at Highland park 

 have just passed their prime. They 

 were viewed by thousands on Sunday, 

 June 4. Following the gorgeous dis- 

 play of the rhododendrons, have come 

 the peonies, which are now in full 

 bloom. 



George Havill, of J. B. Keller's Sons, 

 did a splendid decoration for the wed- 

 ding of his cousin in Sodus, N. Y., June 

 7. The principal flowers used were 

 peonies, field daisies and syringas. 



George Boucher is planning a Jap- 

 anese decoration for his store during 

 the summer months. E. C. A.
