. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. i8g4' The American Florist. 627. HOUSE OF CHRYSANTHEMUMS AT MR. F. DORNER'S. LAFAYETTE, IND., BONNAPFON IN THE FOREGROUND. WITH THE NEW VARIETY MAJ. ties is the finest of the kind we have seen this winter. Brides and Mermets too are of extra size and excellent color. These are produced ontwo yearold stock planted in solid beds. One house of Perles grown on benches is a sight to behold; the wealth of blooms is remark- able. Poehlman Bros.' range of rose houses is in splendid condition; with the excep- tion of Beauties every bench is in fine shape. The folio wing varieties are mostly grown: Mermet, Bride, Perle. Wootton, Gontier, La France, Albany and Meteor. Adam Harrer is showing a good house of Perles, but many of the blooms are bullheads. Mermets and Brides are also looking fairly well, but the cut is not sat- isfactory. La France and Albany are doing poorly, and so is Gontier. Peter Blaumeiser's place doesn't look as well as we have sometimes seen it. The roses are more or less mildewed and are also affected with black spot. There is a house of Jacques in solid bed which looks promising, and Beauties look fairly well. At Lindenberg's there is a good pros- pect for a nice crop of roses from now on. The cut this winter up to the present was rather light. Most of the plants are two year old stock grown on benches and con- sist of the leading varieties of the older sorts. B. Violets. Ed. Am.
