The Weekly Florists' Review 



JULY 7, 1910. 



away in a dry place, kept from the 

 frost until February or March, and re- 

 planted. 



Gladioli are easily grown from seed 

 and will blossom the second year. The 

 various varieties of Colvillei are of the 

 easiest culture and increase rapidly. 

 They will not stand quite as much 

 water at the root as the larger flowered 

 sorts and should never be kept in the 

 ground over winter, unless they are in 

 an extra well drained place. By mak- 

 ing a succession of plantings and re- 

 serving the late flowered sorts until the 

 last, blossoms can be cut from May 

 until November. Q. 



NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 



The Market. 



The usual summer dullness now pre- 

 vails. Flowers are quite plentiful, but 

 the demand is light. Carnations are 

 still in fair condition, although the hot 

 weather of the last few weeks has been 

 rather hard on them. They bring about 

 50 cents per dozen, retail. Roses of 

 fair quality are arriving, and bring 

 from $1 to $1.50 per dozen. Sweet peas 

 from outdoors are coming in now, and 

 are quite good, especially the Spencer 

 types, which retail at 50 cents per 

 hundred. 



A few odds and ends of snapdragon, 

 stocks, etc., are still seen, and they help 

 considerably in funeral work. The de- 

 mand for bedding plants is about over. 

 It has been a good season, although 

 vincas have been somewhat scarce. 

 Stock in the fields is looking fine. Early 

 closing is now the rule here. 



Various Notes. 



Wm. P. Peirce reports that funeral 

 work was especially heavy Saturday, 

 July 2. Mr. Peirce gave, free of 

 charge, about 1,000 plants of geraniums, 

 zinnias, marigolds, cosmos and Cobaea 

 scandens to the home garden committee, 

 for the benefit of children who were not 

 able to buy plants. 



A. B. Hathaway is sending in some 

 nice Countess Spencer sweet peas, which 

 find a ready sale. 



S. S. Peckham will have an immense 

 stock of mums for this season. He is 

 still ■ bringing in some good geraniums 

 and salvias. 



E. H. Chamberlain is showing some 

 nice ferns for this time of the year. 



Julius Eositzsky, manager for Wm. 

 P. Peirce, made a design for the high 

 school graduation class, composed of 

 thousands of immortelles and backed 

 with green gypsophila, which is being 

 used to a considerable extent here now. 

 W. L. 



Galveston, Tex. — Mrs. M. A. Hansen 

 has gone on a trip to Dresden, Germany. 

 She has left her business in charge of 

 Mrs. P. E. Nelson, formerly of Alvin, 

 Tex. Mrs. Nelson is a first-class busi- 

 ness woman and is very popular here, 

 this being her home town. Mrs. Han- 

 sen expects to be gone until October 15.
