The Weekly Florists' Review* 



May 5, 1910. 



HOSE UNDER GLASS 



"Electric" Hose ie perfectly adapted 

 to the hard, constant service required 

 in a greenhouse. 



Increase in our sales to floristB 

 during the last few years has been 

 enormous. 



Once a customer, always a cus- 

 tomer," has come to be the rule. 



The hose is made of alternate tubes 

 of pure rubber and jackets of BRAIDED 

 seine twine. The tubes and jackets 

 are vulcanized by tremendous pressure 

 into a unified fabric. 



It will outwear, three to one, a hose 

 of ordinary, "lapwelded" construction. 



It will be economy in every way for 

 you to use "Electric." . 



ELECTRIC HOSE & RUBBER CO., Wilmington, Del. 



NEW ORLEANS. 



Unusually cold weather for this time 

 of the year has been experienced here 

 these last few days, cutting down the sup- 

 ply of outside flowers and injuring field 

 roses, which look bad just now. 



Several new florists have been estab- 

 lishing themselves lately in the lower 

 part of the city. On St. Claude avenue, 

 which is going to be one of the finest 

 of the city, is the establishment of W. 

 Bierhorst. A newly built greenhouse, 

 Mith an ofiice in front, gives a fine ap- 

 pearance to his place. Mr. Bierhorst 

 says he does a strictly decorating and cut 

 flower business. 



George Thomas is located near one of 

 the new boulevards, which is expected in 

 the near- future to be the fashionable resi- 

 dence district of New Orleans. His busi- 

 ness has been improving and also Ms 

 greenhouses. He has just completed a 

 new structure, to be used first for grow- 

 ing chrysanthemums and afterward for 

 general stock for his spring trade. 



P. Chopin has his establishment sit- 

 uated in the most populous and business 

 part of the garden district. He says that 

 he js doing well. He raises part of his 

 own stock, using at this time a quantity 

 of gladioli. Their orchid-like appear- 

 ance helps him to turn out beautiful 

 designs. 



F. Faessel has demolished liis green- 

 houses and is moving them, with the 

 largest part of his stock, to Ocean 

 Springs, Miss. Mr. Faessel has been 

 for many years doing a good business in 

 New Orleans, where he is yet largely in- 

 terested in real estate. In his future lo- 

 (;ation lie intends to establish a local 

 trade, witli the shipment of flowers to 

 other markets. 



W. Behm left for Europe a few days 

 ago He will be followed next month by 

 M. Cook and family. M. M. L. 



ALVIN, TEXAS. 



Erratic weather has made trouble for 

 the .shippers of cape jasmines. March 

 was warmer than usual and the middle 

 of April found the season ahead of 

 normal. The latter part of April, how- 

 over was cold and there was a severe 

 norther the last days of the month. At 

 hrst the growers of cape jasmines feared 

 the buds would open by May 1 and be 

 too early for Decoration day. Later 

 they began to hope the crop would begin 

 moving by May 30 and be just abSut 

 right for the national holiday. Some 

 ot the growers say they do not look for 

 many shipments to go out before
