The Weekly Florists' Review* 



December 22, 1910. 



S. B. Ayers' greenhouses in Inde- 

 pendence, Mo., which were erected last 

 summer, are now planted mostly in 

 sweet peas. They are looking fine. His 

 soil is black and rich. He plants two 

 rows and runs them up on a network of 

 twine. The plants stand thick and 

 the rows are close and run east and 

 west. His success is immense; in fact, 

 he is one of the best growers of sweet 

 peas around this city. He also grows 

 a great many narcissi. His houses are 

 heated by hot water. 



E. S. Brown & Son are cutting a 

 fine batch of poinsettias. Their carna- 

 tions are in excellent condition but 

 the cut for Christmas will not be heavy. 

 They are now busy dividing their can- 

 nas and preparing to start them for 

 spring trade. Nathan Brown is now 

 busy in his city office with their whole- 

 sale catalogue, as the southern trade 

 starts soon. Their Texas business is 

 quite large. 



D. Freudenthal is doing a fine busi- 

 ness. He has contracted for the en- 

 tire crop of one of the best violet 

 growers in Kansas City. These violets 

 are fine, sweet and large. 



The W. L. Rock Flower Co. had a 

 pretty window last week, with pink 

 begonias. They are the best this firm 

 ever has grown and I believe if they 

 were put on exhibition at some flower 

 show they surely would take the blue 

 ribbon. They are cutting the best of 

 roses, and lots of them — such as never 

 before have been seen at their green- 

 houses. Their entire place is now in 

 apple-pie order. 



Samuel Murray again comes to the 

 front with his fine display of begonias. 

 He always tries to outdo everybody in 

 growing this plant and his new place is 

 a credit to the city. 



Samuel Jones is now harvesting his 

 first lettuce. He takes thirty-five 

 bushels to the city every load. His six 

 houses in tomatoes are looking fine. 

 The plants are from three to four feet 

 tall, full of blooms and fruit. He 

 burns about one carload of coal every 

 week. He also has one house in sweet 

 peas which are now beginning to bloom 

 in fine shape, with excellent stems. 

 The lettuce is planted between the rowb 

 The benches are five feet wide and 

 144 feet long. With the peas trained 

 on a network of twine, this house is a 

 pretty sight. W. H. H.
