The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Apbii. 15, 1909. 



SALEM, MASS. 



William T. Walke had a noteworthy 

 display of Easter lilies at his green- 

 houses on Loring avenue. There were 

 5,000 plants in the group, in various 

 stages of growth, but the majority of 

 them were timed so as to be in full 

 bloom for ^Easter. The bulk of the 

 blooms are shipped regularly to the Bos- 

 ton market. 



Mr. Walke 's business here has been 

 prosperous and has showed a steady in- 

 crease. Starting nine years ago with one 

 greenhouse, he now has two houses of 

 Easter lilies, one house of carnations, 

 two houses of roses and one house of 

 miscellaneous stock, besides a propagat- 

 ing house. He was recently awarded the 

 prize cup for the most meritorious group 

 of plants and flowers in the wholesalers' 

 flower market exhibit in Music hall, Bos- 

 ton. 



MACON, GA* 



Well, here I am, spending Easter Sun- 

 day in Macon, which is one of the most 

 charming cities in the south. I was ex- 

 pecting to get done here yesterday and 

 "skin out," but the party I came to 

 see, Mr. Horgan, the genial manager of 

 the Idle-Hour Nurseries, was so busy 

 slinging out Easter lilies that all I could 

 see of him was his coat tails flying in the 

 air. They handled some. 8,000 lilies, 

 with an abundance of all kinds of plants, 

 such as hydrangeas, azaleas, rhododen- 

 drons, deutzias, climbing roses, bougain- 

 villeas, lilacs, spir^as, genistas, cinerarias, 

 geraniums, tulips and lilies of the valley, 

 in pots and baskets. Their stock of dou- 

 ble violets, carnations and roses seemed 

 to be unlimited, and they dispatched or- 

 ders with the greatest ease imaginable. 



H. C. D. 



GiEARD, O. — William Gerke has re- 

 moved to his new residence on Washing- 

 ton avenue, next to the greenhouses. 



Nashua, N. H. — April 7 some mis- 

 creant threw a rock weighing almost a 

 pound through a light of glass in the 

 greenhouses of Charles H. Blake and the 

 stone barely missed Mr. Blake's head.
