The Weekly Florists' Review* 



33 



One of the Bayersdorfer Aisles in the Balcony. 



stonas, a large number of stove plants, 

 ferns for dishes in upwards of twenty 

 varieties were in charge of J. J. Karins, 

 J. J. Goudy and John Euppert. At an- 

 other location Geo. Parsons had charge 

 of a table of French, Dutch, freesia, 

 Harrisii, Formosa, iris, candidum and 

 other bulbs, with a dozen named varie- 

 ties of novelties and mixtures of gladi- 

 oli, cut blooms, from the Biverton 

 nurseries. Of the amaryllis-flowcred 

 type Charlamagne and Roselle were es- 

 pecially good. Deuil de Carnot, velvety 

 maroon; Heliotrope, purple; Henri Le- 

 iiioine, yellow with crimson blotch; Eu- 

 • haris and Triomphe de Caen were 

 among the foreign novelties. A vase 

 "f Sulphur King and Baron Hulot made 

 a striking color combination. Plant 

 tubs, hose and glazing points also were 

 shown. 



F. R. Pierson Co., Tarrytown, N, Y., 

 staged the Boston fern and its numer- 

 ous progeny, as follows: Piersoni, 

 i^'-legantissima, Elegantissima Com- 

 pacta, Harrisii, Scholzeli, Veridissima, 

 ^uperbissima, and the youngest mem- 

 lier, Mossii, to be disseminated next 

 year. It is what its name is intended 

 to imply, moss-like, dwarf, thick, dark 

 green. In addition there was a large 

 line of Dutch and French bulbs, Har- 

 risii and Formosa lily bulbs, candidum 

 :ind freesia. J. E. Fotheringham was 

 in charge, as usual. 



Robert Craig Co., Philadelphia, made 

 ii splendid showing of crotons; there 

 were eighty-five distinct named varie- 

 'ies, and they seem to do them a little 

 ^>it better each year. The long table 

 •igainst a wall made a striking show of 

 '•^lor. A special feature was the six 

 I'ig plants of the drooping variety Cron- 

 stadi; W. P. Craig, who had charge of 

 ^he exhibit, said they had a whole 

 liouseful of it at home, also a full house 

 of Lonsdale, and over 1,000 different 

 seedlings in sizes up to 6-inch. Fred 



Sander was a striking variety, and one 

 of the new ones was Mrs. Macaw, 

 named after the mother of the firm's 

 grower. A number of the new French 

 varieties were shown for the first time. 

 The nephrolepis family was well repre- 

 sented, including Harrisii, which they 

 think will aid in keeping green the 

 memory of the originator. Other ex- 

 hibits were Phoenix Roebelenii, Ficus 

 pandurata, dracsenas in variety, Pan- 

 danus Pacifica and P. utilis, kentias, 

 cyclamens, Begonia Lorraine and the 

 Lonsdale variety, Bougainvillea San- 

 deriana, adiantum, etc. 



J. A. Peterson, Cincinnati, showed 

 begonias in variety: Glory of Cincin- 

 nati, Agatha, Pres. Taft and Lorraine; 

 also the striking Dracaena Victoria, a 

 pair of handsome Phoenix Eoebelenii 

 and some specimen plants of Nephrol- 

 epis Harrisii. J. A. Peterson and his 

 son were both on duty. 



S. A. Anderson, Buffalo, had two 

 large tables of fine Begonia Gloire de 

 Lorraine and a wall display of his arti- 

 ficial poinsettias, on which he stated 

 he was granted a patent August 6 and 

 will push this season harder than ever. 

 Jos. Streit, president of the Buffalo 

 Florists' Club, was in charge with Mr. 

 Anderson. 



Henry Eiehholz, Waynesboro, Pa., 

 had two large round tables of his new 

 carnation for pot culture, Christmas 

 Cheer. The plants showed their free- 

 blooming qualities. The flowers are 

 almost poinsettia scarlet and Mr. Eieh- 

 holz says 6-inch pots retail readily at 

 $1.50 each. 



The Julius Eoehrs Co., Eutherford, 

 N. J., staged Celosia Pride of Castle 

 Gould, which it is distributing; also 

 Croton Fred Sander. Palms in com- 

 mercial sizes were shown, with Lor- 

 raine begonias, dracaenas in variety, 

 camellias, bay trees, and Cibotium 

 Schiedei. The Boston gold medal dis- 



play of orchids was represented by a 

 few commercial varieties. J. A. Muller 

 was in charge. 



B'obbink & Atkins, Rutherford, N. J., 

 put up a general display of stove and 

 greenhouse plants, a special feature of 

 which was the specimen kentias, some 

 of them ten feet tall. There were 

 palms, dracffinas, araucarias, ferns, 

 camellias, etc. PhcEoix Roebelenii was 

 conspicuous. Of the firm's collection 

 of 150 varieties of evergreens, forty 

 varieties were shown in tubs, some of 

 them so rare that the names were not 

 divulged. Victor Morgan was in 

 charge. 



W. A. Manda, South Orange, N. J., 

 had Polypodium Mandianum as the 

 leading feature of his large exhibit. 

 Manda 's golden privet also was con- 

 spicuous. Asparagus elongatus, Dra- 

 caena Rothiam and Nephrolepis Gia* 

 trasii were put to the front. There 

 were some finely fruited oranges. Of 

 evergreens in tubs some twenty-five va- 

 rieties were shown, including boxwoods 

 in all forms. Aucubas and palms had 

 a place. Twelve varieties of anthuriums 

 in bloom were shown. A general col- 

 lection of commercial orchids in bloom 

 had a separate table. S. R. Lundy and 

 Robert Carlstrom were in charge. 



Storrs & Harrison Co., Painesville, 

 O., showed Tausendschon, Hiawatha, 

 Baby Rambler, Frau Karl Druschki and 

 other field-grown roses for forcing; also 

 ferns for dishes, small palms, prim- 

 roses, Adiantum Croweanum, etc. S. R. 

 Welch was in charge. 



T. M. Miller, Jamesville, N. Y., had a 

 specially attractive exhibit in his new 

 geranium, called simply Miller's Seed- 

 ling. It is salmon pink, veined deeper 

 salmon and with a small white eye. 

 The color is extremely pleasing, the in- 

 dividual flowers large, single, in fair- 

 sized trusses on long, strong stems;
