. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. Also 1601 Eutaw Place, Baltimore, Md. Rochester, N. Y. Never before in this city have the florists transacted such an amount of business as they have this Easter season. All the different establish- ments were filled up with the very best material in first-class condition and, as far as we can find out, by Sunday morning there was very little surplus stock on hand. Prices on all material were moderate. J. B. Keller's Sons handle a white flowering broom that lends itself splen- didly for basket decoration. The slen- der, whip-like branches, covered with pure white blossoms, are very pleasing and they attract popular attention. Michael Keller says that large plants grown to standards sell well as indi- vidual plants. This broom is sold by the Dutch growers as Cytisus praecox albus, but we suspect it is a form of the Spanish broom (Cytisus albus). Florists who have not handled this plant certainly ought to get it next fall. The new dwarf rambler rose, Mrs. H. Cutbush, has been grown quite extensively by this firm, and it has proved a popular favorite. It could harldy tail to be so, as the rosy pink flower clusters are remarkably pleas- ing This firm has made a new de- parture in handling large rhododen- drons, having bought, last fall, a con- signment of plants of R. fastuosum flora plena about four feet in diameter, and the large bushes, covered with purplish lavender blossoms, looked splendid. Of course some of these are rented out at good prices, and others are sold to rich people at prices com- mensurate with fair profit. Michael Keller says they are well satisfied with the results, and he remarked today that this was one of the most strenu- ous Easter seasons he ever put in. JOHN DUNBAE. Brooklyn, New York.
