The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



May 2, 1912. 



ALVIN, TEX. 



Tho cape jasmine shippers feel that 

 they are face to face with another un- 

 favorable season, the third in succes- 

 sion. The cape jasmine is about the 

 only item on which florists here do any 

 considerable business outside of their 

 local trade. Many look to the crop 

 for their year's profit and any un- 

 toward circumstances have a greater 

 importance than most of those in the 

 trade realize. 



Of course the best demand for the 

 cape jasmine buds is for Memorial 

 day, May 30. The crop, when it is 

 too early, as frequently has been the 

 case, never realizes anything like what 

 it does when it comes in just right for 

 the Memorial day special demand — 

 then it is shipped to florists all over 

 the United States, who, because they 

 have a ready sale, are willing to pay 

 fair prices. But this year the crop 

 bids fair to be too late for Memorial 

 day — it looks as though it might not 

 move in any quantity until June. If 

 this fear is realized the market value 

 of the 'crop is problematical, but surely 

 it will be greatly reduced by coming 

 in competition with the peony and 

 other flowers that are then in season. 

 The growers here are hoping for steady, 

 warm, bright weather to bring the 

 crop along. The plants never were in 

 finer condition, although the season is 

 one of the latest in many years. 



Cantril, la. — A. Troth, who is a vet- 

 eran plantsman, has his greenhouses 

 and hotbeds filled to overflowing with 

 spring stock. 



Washington, D. 0. — Blankenship & 

 Iglehart, builders with offices at 1107 

 E street, northwest, have been awarded 

 the contract for three large greenhouses 

 to be erected for Albert Heitmiller. 



Utica, N. Y.— Roland T. Zoeckler has 

 purchased the greenhouses of Chas. F. 

 Seitzer and removed them to the rear 

 of his home, 38 Hobart street, and will 

 conduct a retail trade in cut flowers and 

 potted plants. 



Newington Junction, Conn. — Louis L. 

 Barton, who purchased twenty-three 

 acres of ground here and built one 300- 

 foot greenhouse last summer, is plan- 

 ning to build another house soon and 

 expects eventually to have one of the 

 largest rose ranges north of Cromwell. 

 He disposes of his stock at wholesale 

 only and has a ready market for all 

 that he can grow.
