The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Junk 23, 1010. 



E. G. Hill Co., Richmond, Tnd., were 

 recent visitors. 



Gus. Meier, president of the Hyde 

 Park Rose. Co., of Cincinnati, spent 

 June 18 in Springfield, with a view to 

 introducing his new rose, Taft, a cross 

 between Kaiserin Augusta Victoria 

 and Mme. Cusin. In color it is quite 

 similar to Bridesmaid, with a rich yel- 

 low at the base of the petals, and it is 

 fully as double as Bridesmaid. This 

 rose is entirely different from the one 

 of foreign origin iUready introduced 

 and named President Taft, and it was 

 suggested to Mr. Meier that a distinct 

 name, such as Queen City, might be 

 advisable under the circumstances.

The Market. 



As soon as the warm weather set in, 

 the latter part of last week, business 

 seemed paralyzed. Since then stock has 

 moved slowly and only at buyers ' prices. 

 Many flowers go to waste. The change 

 in the weather has had a telling effect 

 on the quality of flowers. Indoor stock 

 as a whole suffered, while the outdoor 

 blooms were never better. An oversup- 

 ply of all kinds was on hand. 



In roses, Beauties, Killarneys, My 

 Maryland and Kaiserin are holding 

 their quality the best, especially the last 

 mentioned, which is excellent. Carna- 

 tions are somewhat off in size and color. 

 Sweet peas are good, but are neverthe- 

 less accumulating. Good longiflorums, 

 candidums, gladioli and valley are 

 offered. A few early asters and fever- 

 few are seen. The supply of decorative 

 greens, including plumosus, Sprengeri 

 and smilax, is more than sufficient to 

 meet the demand. 



The Jabez Elliott flower market was 

 not especially active last Saturday. 

 Bedding stock, sweet peas and lilies sold 

 slowly. Carnations were, however, 

 cleaned up before the evening was over. 



Various Notes. 



Albert McCullough, of J. M. McCul- 

 lough 's Sons Co., left June 18 for At- 

 lantic City to attend the seedsmen 's 

 convention. 



B. P. Critchell reports that he has 

 placed orders for about 4(),0()() plants of 

 various kinds for use in the decorative 

 scheme of the Ohio Valley Exposition. 



C. E. Critchell is receiving large con- 

 signments of excellent valley from 

 George & Allan and longiflorums from 

 other growers. 



Weiland & Olinger have decided to 

 discard their corrugated paper boxes, in 

 shipping stock from the greenhouses to 

 the sales office, for wooden ones during 

 the summer months, and instead of hav- 

 ing two shipments a day, one at noon 

 and one in the evening, they will have 

 only one, in the evening. By this method 

 the stock will be in the boxes for the 

 least possible time. William Gardner 

 was down from New Castle last Sunday 

 and is enthusiastic over the prospects 

 at the greenhouses. 



Meyer Heller, of New Castle, was a 

 caller at E. G. Gillett 's last week. He 

 says Heller Bros, will have large quan- 

 tities of Beauties throughout the sum- 

 mer. Mr. Gillett will handle their con- 

 signments to this market. 



William Murphy is finding a heavy 

 request from the shipping trade for red

BEAUTIES 



Best on the market. 



W^e have a range of Beauties grown specially for a cut in summer. Tlioc 

 have much better substance, color, stem and foliage than from plants tlmt 

 were cut from all winter. Try them; they're good. 



ROSES 



Five Summer ravorites. 



We have five summer roses hard to beat — Kaiserin, Jardine, Killarney, Mary- 

 land, Field — but if you want other varieties we can supply them, cut from 

 grafted plants, better flowers than own root plants give at this season. 



CARNATIONS ReallyCod. 



We grow the fancy sorts, like Aristocrat, Victory, Winsor, W'hite Perfection, 

 Enchantress, etc., and we are one of the few who are now getting really 

 good carnations. 



Fancy Butterfly. 



SWEET PEAS 



Fancy stock in best selling colors. Enchantress-pink, lavender, white, pink 

 and blue, or violet shade. You will say these peas are all right. The blue is 

 an ideal pea that takes the place of violets and gives better satisfaction. Ahn 

 fine outdoor peas now ready.

 daric green. Eerns and all other greens.

tions in practically solid beds. Tti -^''
