The Weekly Florists' Review. 



St. Patrick's Day 



Will fall on the 17th of March this year* and in all proba- 

 bility for several years to come, but several other things have 

 fallen in the last few days, which will probably interest you more, 

 as it includes nearly everything in the Cut Flower line, notably 

 in Roses and Carnations; in fact, everything is lower in price 

 and better in quality. Increased supplies in nearly everything 

 now coming in; only shortage, long stem Beauties, and there is a 

 fair supply of these. BulbOUS ptock plentiful, also Easter 

 Lilies, Callas and Valley. Violets are coming iu heavy. 

 Ferns have advanced to $3.00 per 1000; other Greens remain at 

 the old price. 



St. Patrick's Green 



This fluid will absolutely color white carnations, or other white 

 flowers, a vivid Irish green. One quart is sufficient to color three to 

 four hundred carnations. One pint, 50c ; one quart, $1.00 ; six 

 pints, $2.75 ; six quarts, $5.00.

Fred Stielow has placed with Kroe- 

 schell Bros. Co. the contract for heat- 

 ina; the Garland houses he is building at 

 Niles Center for his son. Kroeschell's 

 are this season making two new sizes 



of hot water heater. No. 17 being de- 

 signed to heat 70,000 feet of glass to a 

 rose temperature, and No. 18 to heat 

 100,000 feet to a carnation temperature. 

 Mr. Stielow is using the No. 17 with 



threaded boiler tube piping and forced 

 circulation by means of a pump driven 

 by a gasoline engine. 



Winterson 's Seed Store reports counter 

 trade begiuning. Mail orders were 

 prompt in response to the mailing of 

 the catalogue. 



Wietor Bros, say their carnations are 

 doing considerably better, as the result 

 of the effort they have been making 

 to avoid overpropagation. 



At E. H. Hunt's W. E, Lynch saya 

 he finds business better than it was a 

 year ago during the first week in Lent. 



B. Eldredge, Belvidere, is sending 

 sprays cut from his famous orange tree 

 to the Chicago Carnation Co. 



H. Roth, Lafayette, Ind., was a vis- 

 itor last week, buying greenhouse ma- 

 terial. A. C. Rott, of Joliet, was in town 

 March 6. 



H. C. Blewitt still is confined to hia 

 home at Des Plaines by rheumatism. 

 He has been laid up since about Janu- 

 ary 1.
