The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



JONB 18, 1912. 



HARTFORD, CONN. 



The Market. 



The weather is exceedingly cold for 

 this time of the year and from some of 

 the outlying districts reports came that 

 some of the tender crops had been 

 ruined. The temperature went down to 

 30 degrees on the morning of June 7, 

 so quite a little damage was done to 

 the tender bedding plants. But the cold 

 weather seems to have made business 

 brisk, as everybody cleaned up well. 

 Koses aiid carnations are none too plen- 

 tiful, but they are of good quality. 

 There is only a fair demand for peonies, 

 but sweet peas sell on sight. Green is 

 in great, demand, especially plumosus. 



Various Notes. 



John E. Coombs has moved into his 

 new store on Main street. He has had a 

 new McCray refrigerator installed, with 

 a capacity of 2,000 pounds of ice. 



A. N. Pierson, Inc., of Cromwell, is 

 cutting some fine valley, which is meet- 

 ing with a ready market. This company 

 is tearing down some of its old green- 

 houses, and putting larger ones in their 

 place. One house, 80x800, in course of 

 construction, collapsed June 9, about 

 400 feet of the iron work being up at 

 the time. 



Joseph Heacock and son, of Wyncote, 

 Pa., were recent visitors. W. S. C. 



HAIL AT JUNCTION CITY, KAN. 



About two o'clock in the morning of 

 June 5 hail destroyed practically every 

 pane of glass in the greenhouses of the 

 .Tunction City Floral Co. and of E. F. 

 Walter & Son. The greenhouses of W. 

 P. Kansom did not suffer to the extent 

 of the others, his loss being about a 

 third, perhaps, of his glass. In the for- 

 mer two establishments there were less 

 than fifty lights undamaged. While the 

 Floral Co. lost some stock, Walter 

 & Son were the heaviest losers in 

 this respect, as most of their indoor 

 tomatoes and cucumbers will be a total 

 loss owing to bruising from falling 

 glass. Outdoor stock suffered greatly, 

 also. 



The florists will take advantage of 

 the disaster by giving their houses sev- 

 eral coats of paint. This is the first 

 disastrous hail storm in the last fifteen 

 years. All three florists carried hail in- 

 surance on their glass.
