The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



Mabch 11, 1909. 



The Wholesale and Retail Florists 



both depend upon their refrigerators to determine whether 

 their stock shall sell or stay in the store. McCray Refrigera- 

 tors keep stock in such perfect, fresh and fragrant condition 

 that it cannot help selling, and the McCray uses less ice than 

 any other. It virtually pays for itself. The patented system 

 of air circulation which cools all parts evenly, thoroughly, and 

 with fresh, cold, dry air, is one of the features of 



McCray Refrigerators 



They are made in the most beautiful finish and substantial construc- 

 tion. They are lined with white enamel, or if you wish, you may have 

 tile, opal glass, mirrors or marble. _ ' 



There is a wide range of regular sizes of McCray Refrigerators for 

 immediate shipment, although we build them to order for any requirement. 



You should have our Catalog- No. 71, which 

 describes the detail of these successful and 

 economical refrigerators for the Horist.

The Budlong Establishment. 



Thi ei)nstantly growing establishment 

 of J. A. Budlong & Son Co. is one of the 

 most extensive in the east and always 

 well repays" a visit. Roses are here a 

 leading feature, over 75,000 being grown. 

 Of these. 37.(l00 are Bride and Maid, the 

 balance mostly Killarney, Richmond and 

 Chatenay. Next season about 20,000 

 each of Richmond and Killarney will be 

 planted. 8,000 Chatenay and a good batch 

 each of My Maryland and White Killar- 

 ney. The numbers of Bride and Maid 

 will be considerably reduced. 



All the big rose houses were in the 

 pink of condition. In one house a batch 

 of 3,000 Killarney. planted May 1, 1908, 

 had given o\er 75,000 flowers up to Feb- 

 ruary 1, 1J»(I9. In another house 5,500 

 Riciimond had furnished over 125,000 

 flowers in the same period. .John Pritch- 

 ard, the able manager, formerly with 

 W. H. Elliott, at Madbury, X. H., said 

 Killarney gives fully as many as, or more 

 flowers than, Bridesmaid and sells much 

 better. All roses are grafted, with the 

 exception of Chatenay, which is found to 

 succeed much better on its own root. The 

 only purely summer rose grown is Kais- 

 erin. Rhea Reid under trial has proved 

 disa]>pointing. as also has Mrs. Jardine, 

 but My Maryland it is iioped will make 

 good another season. Black spot and 

 mildew were eonspicuous by their ab- 

 sence and from the number of thick bot- 

 tom shoots coming up, there will be a 

 wealth of fine flowers for months to come. 



About 25.000 carnations are grown. 

 Enchantress looks splendid. Winsor, Vic 

 tory. Beacon and other popular sorts are 

 also grown. Flowers are sold in Provi- 

 dence and shipped to Boston and New 

 York, the Park Stn-et Market. Boston, 

 handling the bulk of the cut. A fine lot 

 of new rooms for cut flowers have been 

 recently completed. These are commo- 

 dious and convenient. 



The jiresent rose houses vary in length 

 from .^50 to 700 feet, there "being four 

 of the latter length, the widest being 

 fifty-two feet. Ground is broken and 

 work started on three additional houses 

 for rose.s. two .35x450 and one 35x350. 

 The necessity of more glass is caused by 

 an inability to fill the constantly growing 

 demands for the firm's roses.
