The Weekly Florists' Review* 



JANUABT 2S, 1912. 



BEAMPTON, ONT. 



, ' Edward Dale attended the American 

 Bose Society's convention at Detroit, 

 and several of the conventionites 

 stopped at Brampton on their way home. 

 W, Martin, of Portland, Ore., remarked, 

 after he had strolled through the Dale 

 Estate greenhouses for a couple of 

 hours, that it was the first time he had 

 really got his feet thoroughly warm 

 since he had left home. 



It seems the general opinion that 

 such consistently severe weather has 

 not been experienced here for fifteen 

 or twenty . years. The mercury has 

 dropped below zero, and has remained 

 anywhere from 2 to 22 degrees every 

 day for the last twelve days. Stock is 

 good, however, especially carnations and 

 violets. None of the double violets are 

 grown in any of the Brampton green- 

 houses now. 



Careless handling on the part of the 

 express companies is mainly responsible 

 for more frozen stock during the last 

 fortnight than has ever been known 

 before, and it may easily be understood 

 that this has meant keen disappoint- 

 ment to the city florist, especially when 

 it is considered that flowers are scarce. 

 Business is surprisingly lively for Jan- 

 uary. W. G. P. 



HINSDALE, MASS. 



All the dealers in ferns are shipping 

 large quantities and it looks now as if 

 ferns may be scarce the coming spring, 

 as we are losing a large number by 

 spoiling. Perhaps the storage is not 

 to blame so much as some of the pick- 

 ers. There is such a large number pick- 

 ing in the fall that they are not all as 

 careful as they should be to put good, 

 sound, perfect ferns in the bunches, and 

 they get no better in storage. The fall 

 trade was good in all lines. Between 

 Christmas trees and baled boughs there 

 were nearly a hundred carload lots 

 shipped from here. The weather has 

 been extremely cold here for the greater 

 part of this month, the temperature 

 ranging from zero to 24 degrees below. 

 Some of the shipments of ferns sent 

 from here were partly spoiled by being 

 frozen so hard. There is good sleighing 

 here now. 



I wish we could have the S. A. F. 

 meet m Pittsfteld in 1913. I am sure 

 all would enjoy it, for it is as nice a 

 little city of 33,000 inhabitants as any 

 in the country. S.
