The Florists' Review 



Afbil 8, 1918. 



OBLANDO, FLA. 



It is remarkable how well many of 

 our tender roses do in this climate, 

 planted out in pure white sa^d with an 

 occasional sprinkling of commercial fer- 

 tilizer, which the next heavy shower 

 may send three or four feet below the 

 surface. Crimson Kambler rosea abso- 

 lutely refuse to flower, but I have seen 

 Baby Bambler do fairly well. It seems 

 strange to put in a bed of coleus cut- 

 tings in the open ground in February, 

 but every one of them rooted nicely. 

 Poinsettias are in full bloom yet and 

 do nicely here. When it is desired to 

 increase the stock, a piece is cut off and 

 stuck in the sand and the following 

 year there is quite a tree. To be suc- 

 cessful with vegetable growing, which 

 is one of the principal industries here, 

 most of the truck gardens are supplied 

 with the Skinner overhead sprinkling 

 system. 



This year's orange crop has been 

 large, but the outlook for next year 

 is not promising, as many of the groves 

 are not flowering so freely. Florida is 

 full of real estate men looking for 

 "easy marks" to buy orange groves 

 and swamps. For the groves they will 

 ask from $500 to $1,000 per acre. I 

 have seen good oranges sold on the 

 trfees at 19 cents per box. None of 

 my money will go into oranges, for 

 commercial fertilizers cost too much 

 and groves must be fertilized three 

 times each year. When you purchase 

 real estate here you simply buy air and 

 climate, but they certainly are fine. 

 After another week in Florida I will 

 return to my home in Sharon, Pa., 

 reaching there about the middle of 

 April, having spent four months in the 

 land of sunshine and flowers. •

Houlton, Me. — The Easter business 

 more than doubled at Newell 's, 28 

 Main street, where it is said the good 

 result came chiefly by following out 

 ideas obtained from The Review.
