The Weekly Florists' Review* 



JDNE 22, leii. 



PITTSBXJEO. 



The Market. 



There has been considerable life in 

 the cut flower business during the last 

 week. In fact, there has been a short- 

 age of good roses all the week. The 

 cause of this was a number of good 

 weddings and the regular run of school 

 commencements. The weather, though 

 too cold for comfort, has at least kept 

 roses and carnations from getting 

 worse, and they really did show some 

 improvement, only the quantity coming 

 in continues to get less as the season 

 advances. 



Various Notes. 



George tichomer, of Connellsville, Pa., 

 has had the sad misfortune of losing a 

 son, 16 years old, who died June 19, of 

 typhoid fever. Mrs. Schemer and three 

 of the children are still confined to bed 

 with the same disease. 



Phil Breitmeyer, of Detroit, was a 

 visitor last week. Hoo-Hoo. 



ST. PAUL, MINN. 



August S. Swanson, one of the oldest 

 florists in St. Paul and one of the most 

 widely known, has sold out to the Mer- 

 riam Park Floral Co., composed of Jerry 

 P. Jergenson, Max Kaizer and O. Noer- 

 quist, all young men of thorough experi- 

 ence in the various branches of the busi- 

 ness. Mr. Swanson is leaving the flower 

 business, after twenty -two years ' active 

 connection with it, to give his undivided 

 attention to the coal properties in the 

 Yukon district owned and operated by 

 the Five Fingers Coal Co., of which he 

 is president. He is leaving within a 

 few days for Dawson for the purpose of 

 inspecting the property and familiariz- 

 ing himself with the conditions in that 

 territory. 



Bockford, 111.— Mrs. J. W. Ingalls, 

 wife of John W. Ingalls, underwent a 

 serious operation at" the city hospital 

 Friday morning, June 16, and is getting 

 along nicely.

SAGE AND CANNAS 



n^^^Nothing is more attractive in garden or lawn than a bed of Scarlet 

 ■^^^ Sa^, the fiery red we grow, namely, the true Bonfire or Clara Bed- 

 m an var ieties. 



Mtf^^We have a fine new sort of medium height, 4-in. pots, purposely 

 ^^^ raised for our customers for their summer trade. Price, 4-in. pots, 

 $6.00 per 100. 



Our other attraction is Lar§^e Bronze Leaved Cannas; they have 

 no equal, if used in the center of the bed in connection with Scarlet Sage 

 as a border. Nothing looks more attractive than a bronze center and a fiery 

 red border. We provided especially for the beds by growing the Cannas, 

 Robusta and Egandale; both have proved good varieties. The Robusta has 

 large leaves and is now 2}4 to 3 feet high (the Canna, to make it attractive, 

 must tie higher than the Sage), 4-in. pots only, $7.00 per 100. We also 

 have a fine stock of the best green leaved varieties in 4-in. pots of the same 

 size, at $7.00 per 100. Alphonse Bouvier, Richard Wallace, Austria,
