The Weekly Florists' Review. 



JANUABX 18, 1912. 



He is, however, shipping a really su- 

 perb lot of Beacon and Pink Delight 

 carnations to the Boston Cooperative 

 Market. 



At Penn's, on Bromfield street, busi- 

 ness always seems brisk. Even the 

 late severe cold wave did not seem to 

 cause any slackening. They are show- 

 ing some splendid Lilium auratum, cat- 

 tleyas, gardenias and Beauties, and' 

 are, as usual, strong on Princess 

 viplets. 



William T. Walke, of Salem, is ship- 

 ping to the local markets his usual fine 

 lot of cyclamens and primulas. 



Harry F. Woods, of Brookline, and 

 H. F. Calder, of Norwood, are success- 

 ful double violet specialists, whose flow- 

 ers this season are of excellent quality. 



January is energetically endeavoring 

 to make amends for December's ex- 

 treme mildness. January 13 was the 

 coldest day Boston has had in four 

 years. The day temperatures have 

 ruled unusually low during the whole 

 of the cold wave. What with frozen 

 shipments and the steady depletion of 

 the coal supplies, florists will be pleased 

 to see milder weather. 



W. E. Morris, of Wellesley Hills, is 

 shipping a splendid lot of Killarney 

 and White Killarney to B. J. McGinty 

 ., at the Boston Cooperative Market. 



.Hated in Carbone's windows last 

 week were some fine hybrid amaryl- 

 lises. Among a host of other subjects, 

 some beautiful ericas and camellias 

 were to be seen. 



Charles Eapp, of Melrose Highlands, 

 is cutting some good Cattleya Triansa 

 in addition to callas and carnations. 



Adolph E. E. Koch has a constant 

 call for his pink snapdragon and has 

 one order for cut flowers for Michigan 



Edward J. Ahem, of Wellesley, is 

 strong on yellow marguerites at 

 present. 



John McFarland, of North Easton, 

 thinks highly of the double poinsettia, 

 P. pUlcherrima plenissima. It requires 

 earlier propagation and rather more 

 heat to be in good shape for Christmas. 

 He says he never knew valley to de- 

 velop so slowly as during the recent 

 cold wave. 



The William E., Doyle Co., on Boyl- 

 ston street, are having excellent busi- 

 ness. They have among other plants 

 just now some fine metrosideros and 

 new azaleas. 



A. G. Lake, of Wellesley Hills, con- 

 tinues to find the old Queen and Fair 

 Maid carnations as good money makers 

 as any today. 



The Detroit conventionists, most of 

 whom returned this week, report a de- 

 lightful time in spite of the cold wave 

 and snow storms which accompanied 

 them throughout their entire trip. 



Smoke from a destructive fire on 

 Federal street January 9, not far from 

 the Devonshire street emporium of 

 Welch Bros., did considerable damage 

 to the large stocks of ribbons, arti- 

 ficial flowers, etc., in the basement. 

 They were fortunately covered by in- 

 surance. This will not interfere with 

 Messrs. Welch's shipping trade, how- 

 Gvcr* 



Frank T. White, of Holbrook, has 

 some of the best grown Chinese primu- 

 las we have seen this season. 



The last mums of the season, some 

 nice pink ones, appeared at the Bos- 

 •toii Flower Exchange January 10. They 

 weie from Peirce Bros., who have now 

 in addition some fine cyclamens and 

 azaleas. W. N. Craig.

Danville, HI. — The boiler house at the 

 greenhouses of the Danville Floral Co., 

 at Central Park, was destroyed by fire 

 early on Sunday morning, January 7. 

 H. A. Dubuis is proprietor. The loss is 

 said to have been partly covered by 

 insurance. 



Canandaigua, N. Y. — Edward Sick is 

 well pleased with the season's business. 

 His carnations were in full crop just 

 when needed and Enchantress was 

 never better. He is willing to pay a 

 good figure for the variety that will 

 beat this old favorite.
