Alyssum and Lobelia*

There are a few common plants that
enter into our busLness that are liable
tc be overlooked at this busy time. Many
of our soft -wooded plants you can prop-
agate from cuttings taken outdoors in
the fall, but not all. The sweet alyssum
if! one. Take a few cuttings now. A
few hundred will be useful struck now
and kept in 2-inch pots until August or
September and then planted along the
edge of a carnation bench will give you
flowers through the winter and all the
cuttings you want for spring use. We
are often short of good lobelia cuttings
in the winter.; plant out a dozen and in
September cut them back and lift before
fiost.

Aloysia, Lantana and Heliotrope.

There are a few of our bedding plants
tliat it is almost impossiblsf to root in
the fall from cuttings taken from out-
door plants. Among them are the fra-
grant lemon verbena, lantana and helio-
trope. If you happen to have an old
plant of the latter trained up the gable
end of a house you don't want to bother
with any plants, because with a cutting
back in September, as you would a grape
vine, it will give you flowers and cut-
tings the entire winter, yet if you don't
happen to have such, then pot up a
few into 5 or 6-inch pots, lantanas and
lemon verbenas also, and plunge out-
doors. Brought in before frost and
shortened back, the heliotrope- will make
cuttings that root like chickweed and the
Itmon verbena ,and lantana, after partial
rest till January and then cut back and
started into growth, will also give you
t\w right kind of cuttings.

Summering the Azaleas.

Azaleas that were not sold this spring
make our best plants for next Easter.
I-*:' they were in bad shape and the foli-
age damaged, then it is to be hoped you
cut them back hard, even if you left them
Icjifless. And you may have some that
came largely blind and yet made a fine
growth. These latter need only the
strongest growth pinched back. There
is no hurry for a week or two, or till
the young growth on the cut back plants
is somewhat matured, but they should go
outdoors before the middle of June.
"Whether you plant them out or keep
them in pots plunged in frames, they
should be in the broad sun every hour it
shines; putting them beneath the shade
o? trees is a great mistake. The Bel-
gians, who produce such marvelously fine
plants at what seems to us a very inex-
pensive price, plant them out in beds of
richly prepared soil and even the plants
riot sold they plant on benches in houses
for the winter and replant again in the
beds the following summer.

Now, if you have a light, sandy loam
■with the addition of leaf-mold and
plenty of very rotten manure (thorough-
ly rotten refuse hops is also excellent)
you will have an ideal bed to plant out
the azaloas. As to lifting in the fall.

you know how they are lifted in Europe,
cross the Atlantic and smile at you when
the case is opened. Don't make the mis-
take of planting them in the beds too
thickly. These plants will increase a
third and maybe fifty per cent in size
during the summer and it is bad to have
them crowded. Daylight should be
around every plant. I have seen them
planted out in this country with great
success.

If you are not blessed with any such
conditions of soil, then these azaleas will
do finely kept in pots and plunged to the
rim of the pot in frames. Faithful wa-
tering and a daily syringing in hot
weather is the principal care. Very lit-
tle if any pinching is needed in the sum-
mer, except perhaps a strong growth

sprout a new crop of hair under such
nourishment, ■"

* Metrosideros and Acacia.

Metrosideros (the bottle brush) and
Acacia armata that were shortened back
after Easter want just such treatment as
the azaleas in pots, except that if you
gave the azaleas a good soil when re-
ceived last fall there will be no need of
any shift, but the acacia and -bottle
brash are free-rooting plants, particu-
larly the former, and if well rooted give
them a larger pot.

Planting Out Asters.

Some early asters are doubtless plant-
ed by many, but there are many more yet
to be planted. The aster wants a deep,
rich soil and if a long dry spell occurs
ntar their flowering time, say August,
they are ruined, so have them within
reach of the hose. I think as good a lot
of asters as I ever saw were grown in a
heavy clay loam dug deeply aniL thor-
oughly worked and then well supplied
with water. If asters do well they want
plenty of room. The early varieties may
do in rows one foot apart and nine or
ten inches in the row, but Semple 's and

nure once a week will be of the greatest
benefit to those kept in pots.

To digress a moment. "We had a call
last week from Alfred Dimmock, that
cosmo])olitan gentleman who represents

Bruges, Belgium. His photographs of
their azalea beds in Belgium, and they
are only one of many acres, looked as
neat and orderly as a model Italian flow-
er garden. If he told you " the ingre-

Last year we were badly troubled with

beetles "do mostly congregate." Be-
fore the buds are in the least expanded
would be a better time to apply it. If
any one knows a better remedy to de-
stroy these lively little devils let's hear
from him.

The BostoQ Fern.

Some one has remarked very recently
that the Boston fern is the most popular
decorative and house plant of the day
and it is about true. All of us grow
more or less, but you don't often see a
really fine, perfect lot. As soon as the
frost kills our plants in the garden, then
the plant lover wants something green in
the window or drawing-room and now is
the time to prepare for this demand.
Many plant Bostons out on benches from
2% or 3-inch pots in five or six inches
of rich soil. If given room they grow
rapidly and make nice plants for 6-inch
pots by September or October. Then
they should be lifted and given at least
a month in the pots before they are
sold.

I think, however, the best and most
finished plants are grown altogether in
pots. Plunge the pots on the benches
during summer and you will save water-
ing and greatly benefit the plants. If
you start now with a little plant from a
2%-inch pot shifted into a 4-inch and
ill August given a 6-ineh, you should
have a fine plant in October. That is
the size that is in most demand, although
8 and 9-inch plants are often asked for,
which are easily produced by starting
with a larger plant or putting three
small plants now into a 6-inch pot. They
are too often given too much shade in
our hottest weather ; then again, they are
too often crowded. A nephrolepis with
only stifif, upright growth is not hand-
some. It does not show its graceful,
drooping form, and, of course, it is form
that is the chief beauty of all ferns.

Old Boston holds its own and it will
be a long time, "methinks, " ere it is

to perfection. If there is anything in a
name this beautiful fern ought to be in
great demand. The Scots and Picts
flourished about 200 years B. C. The
Picts got picked oflf, but Scot^ii still
lives in Brooklyn and several other
places.

My experience is that a loose, light
soil is not the thing to grow good plants
of these robust ferns. A soil of the tex-
ture and richness that would do for your
rose benches will grow them well. I
do know, however, that decayed hops
they delight in, yet let the soil be firm
and compact and don 't give them a dar
gloomy house.

More Cemetery Notes.

I finished off my cemetery notes last
week without saying all I intended to.
As pretty and graceful a vase as any is
one filled with nothing but Boston ferns,
either half a dozen good plants or a
specimen with a spread of four or five
feet. If watered faithfully they will
grow and flourish in the full sun. We
also occasionally put in one palm alone,
but there is very little choice in the
palms, and Phoenix dactylifera and P.
canariensis are the ones, because they
don't burn even if slightly neglected for
water, and they are the right form.

While on the cemetery subject, I no-
tice Mr. Craig, of Boston, in his most
interesting notes on winter-killed plants
and shrubs, mentions the English ivy as
being killed even when protected. It is
of no use with us, but there is a little
plant that endures our hardest winters
and I can see that for cemetery use it is
coming to the front more and mon
every year, and that is Vinca minor,
which many of our people who ought to
know better call myrtle. It is going to
be more and more in demand. It is too
cheap a thing to grow in pots or frames.

displaced. Anna Foster is fine, a good
grower, but has reverted to the old type
ja many fronds, yet that does not hinder
its being a beautiful plant. Piersoni is,
as we all know, the most beautiful of all
the varieties; as was said once before, it
i? the Farleyense among the nephrolepis.
The new aspirant to favor, Scottii, I have
only seen as a specimen plant at "Wadi-
Ron Square Garden in November, 1902.
That plant was truly a beauty and en-
dowed with the graceful drooping habit

apart, will in two years be a mat and
you can sell it by the yard as you buy
sod.

The Smilax.

After you get over your bedding plant
rush you will have time to attend to
future crops. Among them is the smi-
lax bed. Plant every June; about the
middle of the month is a good time.
Smilax needs no drainage of any kind.
Put seven or eight inches of heavy loam.

well enriched with manure, on the solid
ground and you can, if you keep a tem-
perature of not less than 60 degrees all
night, cut four crops before the twelve
months are around. Smilax is by no
means displaced by the beautiful aspara-
gus. It may pay you to buy it of p
specialist when you have occasion to
use fifty or 100 strings, but it is a great
comfort to have some on your own place
when you need it. Smilax grown in a
cool house does not pay.

Botivardias.

When there is no more fear of the
slightest frost you should plant out your
young bpuvardias. They like a light,
sandy loam, well enriched, and should
bo watered freely when rain ip absent.
Soon after planting they will begin to
throw up strong shoots from the ground
and when they are five or six inches high
they should be stopped. These growths
are what make the plant. The little,
spindly plant that started from the cut-
ting bed will never amount to anything
and when there is plenty of new growth
from the bottom the original plant can
be cut away. Why the soil should htj
light is because the bouvardia is not the
easiest plant to lift and unless you can-
get all the roots and fibres when lifting
they will wilt badly with the best of care.

Geranium John Doyle.
I have only just recently made the
acquaintance of that splendid zonale ge
ranium, John Doyle. It is a grand scar-
let. Perhaps it is old, yet we did noi
know it. If you don't have it, buy a
hundred and plant it out. It is brighter
than Nutt and as healthy as J. Austin
Shaw. Wiij.iTAM Scott.

ROSES.

Supports for the Plants.

Since my first notes on rose growing
appeared in the Review some years ago
I have had many suggestions fr>om grow-
ers of merit as to the best system of
erecting rose supports. Some are recom-
piended as labor savers; others claim
merit as being economical as regards ma-
terial, etc. The principal object to be
kept in view should, in my estimation, be
utility; in other words, the method
which, while being easiest 'of erection
possesses permanency, makes least trou-
ble to remove and replace, requires lit-
tle repair and, while possessing eflSciency,
has also a neat appearance.

When visiting growing establishments
I am always on the lookout for some
newer and better feature in rose sup-
ports, as even tlie best methods seem to
have some weak points in the system,
and along with other growers 1 shall
gladly welcome the system which will
simplify this work.

In large establishments the most com-
mon method is to erect at each end of
the bench a form or frame made of ly^-
hich iron piping. This frame consists
of two legs with a cross bar which for
neatness and strength should be joined
at the corners by elbows. The legs
should be of such a length that they can
be sunk a foot into the ground, leav-'
ing the cross bar twenty-eight inches
above the surface of the bench. The
whole frame should be at least six inches
narrower than the bench, so that it can
rest against the ends, thus giving sup-
port when the wires are stretched.

A line of wire should then be stretched

(See Philadelphia News Letter, Page ».)

*over each line of plants, running length-
wise of the bench. No. 16 galvanized
vire is strong enough for this purpose,
as the wires do not require to be
stretched very tight.

At each plant a wire stake of No. 6 or
No. 8 galvanized wire should be placed.
This stake should be of sufficient length
to reach at least six inches above the
horiz'ontal wire and should be tied tight-
ly to it at the junction.

In place of using twine for tying some
growers have adopted a wire clasp which
seems to suit the purpose admirably and
win no doubt become popular as its
merits are recognized.

To prevent sagging of the horizontal
wire use a frame made 'of %-inch gas
tubing of the same shape as the ^ end
frames and joined at the corners by el-
bows, the legs to be of sufficient length
to reach the floor of the bench. These
require no nailing to steady them, tying
to tlfe horizontal wires being sufficient
to keep them in place.

These supports are practically inde-
structible, neat in appearance (which is
considerably enhanced by a couple 'of
coats of white paint) and at planting
time are easily removed by detaching the
wires from the frames and hanging the
wires to the roofs. After the benches
are planted they are easily and quickly
replaced, entirely eliminate the old sys-
tem of wood supports, nailing, sawing,
etc., which detracted so much from the
neatness and beauty of a house.

Many of the 'other systems, while pos-
sessing some points of merit, have been
tried by myself and other growers and
found unsuited for use in large places.
This system which I have described,
with local variations, seems at present to
be the most practical and in point of
efficiency and expediency the most suita-
We. Rises.

SOLID BEDS OR BENCHES.

I am now building a new house, or
rather two houses 68x100 feet, half for
carnations and half for roses. I want to
know if you would advise me to use
benches or beds? My soil is a red clay,
well drained ; that* is, it does not hold
water like pipe clay; it is rather porus
and water sinks rapidly. I am a begin-
ner without any experience. Lumber is
cheap and I have enough cypress on hand
to bench my entire house, but I want to
know whicli is best. It seems to me the
solid bed would take much less water and
less heat. T. W. L.

Some few expert growers 'of roges

and carnations prefer solid beds, not the
old solid beds of twenty years ago, but
be-ds constructed on a scientific basis
with many variations and which entail a
great deal of skill in construction, plant-
ing, watering and feeding; more care, in
fact, than a table bench requires.

Seeing that lumber of such good qual-
ity is so plentiful and cheap and as he is
a beginner I would advise T. W. L. to
use the table bench, giving three-quarters
of an inch space between bottom boards
for drainage. By using the table bench
better control can be kept on roots, wa-
tering and heating of the soil. The ma-
jority of successful rose and carnation
frrowers are still in favor of and using
the table bench in some form or other.

TARIFF ON CUTTINGS,

Under date of May 16, the Treasury
Department has issued the following to
customs officials:

Referring to the decision of the Board
of United States General Appraisers, G.
A. 5645 of April 14, 1904 (published
in full in the Review for April 28)
wherein it is held that certain so called
rooted rose cuttings are not dutiable as
rose plants at 2^^ cents each under para-
graph 252 of the tariff act of July 24,
1897, but should be classified as cuttings
of plants commonly known as nursery
or greenhouse stock at twenty-five per
cent ad valorem under the same para-
graph, I have to advise you that the
Department does not concur in the con-
clusions reached by the Board of United
States General Appraisers in this ease.

As the record presented in this case
is not very satisfactory, no appeial has
been directed from the decision of the
board therein. You are instructed, how-
ever, not to apply the said decision to
any other importations at your port, it
being the desire of the Department to
prepare a new case for the consideration
of the Board of United States General
Appraisers which will more fully present
the issue. Robert B. Armstrong,

Ass't. Sec'y.

The case referred to is that of the
American Express Company, which had
imported through the port of Buffalo
certain rooted rose cuttings for Heller
Bros., John Burton and others. The
collector assessed duty at 2^4 cents each,
the cuttings being Bride. Maid, Meteor,
Perle, Sunset, etc. As previous decisions
of the Board of General Appraisers,
to the effect that "rose cuttings are

not dutiable as rose plants" at 2V2
cents each, had been allowed by the
Treasury Department to stand without
appeal, it is likely that exception is taken
to that part of this decision which ap-
parently offers a ruling on other articles
than rose cuttings.

The law is: "Stocks, cuttings, and
seedlings of all fruit and ornamental
trees, deciduous and evergreen, shrubs
and vines, manetti, multiflora, and brier
rose, and all trees, shrubs, plants and
vines, commonly known as nursery or.
greenhouse stock, not specially provided
lor in this Act, twenty-five per centum ad
valorem. ' '

The Appraisers said: "This is not
altogether free from ambiguity, owing
to the uncertainty as to how far the ex-
pression * stocks, cuttings and seedlings
of qualifies the clauses which follow
ifc. in the paragraph. Since rooted rose
cuttings can not be said to be either
' trees, ' ' shrubs, ' * plants, ' or ' vines, '
if these goods are dutiable at all under
the provision referred to, it would seem
to be as * cuttings of plants commonly
known as nursery or greenhouse stock.'
This construction, it will be seen, ex-
tends the effect of the expression 'stocks,
cuttings and seedlings of to all the
subsequent members of the paragraph,
and reads it as though it were printed
as follows :

Stocks, cuttings and seedlings (not
specially provided for in the act) of all

(1) fruit and ornamental trees, de-
ciduous and evergreen.

(2) shrubs and vines.

(3) manetti, multiflora and brier rose.

(4) trees, shrubs, plants and vines,
commonly known as nursery or green-
house stock.

The Board is of opinion that this
interpretation should be adopted. Al-
though it may appear doubtful upon a
strictly grammatical construction of the
paragraph, it accords with what we be-
lieve to have been the purpose of Con-
gress, viz., to include within the com-
prehensive language practically every-
thing in the nature of nursery or green-
house stock. "

BLIGHT ON TULIPS.

S. J. G. is not by any means alone in
having blight on his tulips. We have
seen some very badly affected batches
the past few years. Our first experience
of it was in 1903. when many of our late
blooming or species tulips were badly
diseased. We attributed this mainly to
hiiving left the bulbs undisturbed for

three seasons. Bulbs lifted each season
were clean. This spring we only noted
a trace of the blight on two varieties,
Clusiana and Lownei, both small spe-
cies.

Last year we had blight on quite a
number of species, many being entirely
ruined. Such naturally robust growing
sorts as Gesneriana, Bouton d 'or and
rttroflexa, as well as the bybloemens, bi-
zarres and breeders were badly affected.
We have not had any blight at any time
on the early flowering bedding tulips but
believe they will take it, particularly if
not lifted annually.

In regard to fungicides, we have tried
Bordeaux mixture, but with little succes?.
This was not used until the trouble
showed itself. Had we commence'3 to
use it earlier it might have been more
efficacious. We find the best means of
Keeping tulips clean is to replant all
kinds annually. Probably the Darwins
and one or two other robust species may
live from year to year and be exempt,
but new soil is in our estimation the only
method to keep/Mrght in check.

Narcissi, such as rugilobus, biflorus
and spurius, iven blighted in 1903, but
were clean ttlls year. 7^^ ^'^ lesji in-
jured by bHfght than tulips, however. All
the iris /fatnily and a considerable num-
ber of other hardy plants were blighted

doubt the peculiarities of the season are

CARNATION NOTES.

Topping: in the Field.

Almost as soon as you finish planting
the young stock in the field, you will
have to begin to top some of them. Those
which you planted first have had a good
rain, or two and have started into a vig
orous growth. In this locality the
weather has been ideal for the young
plants in the field. We have had a few
hot days, but only a few ; most of the
days have been cool and lately we have
had numerous light showers, which ha\e
kept the ground in fine shape. Already
we can see the young shoots break where
the plants were stopped at planting
time, and the shoots that were not
stopped are shooting up ard will have to
be stopped every few days, as they
need it.

In the first two toppings you eitnei
make or ruin the shapeliness of your
plants and so you want to look after
this operation closely. There are some
varieties which naturally make a shapely
plant, such as Joost, Flora Hill and a
few others, but most of the varieties we
grow in quantity, and especially the less
grassy ones, need to ,be topped several
times before the plants will form a
strong, comjiaCT body, such as we want
to plant in the fall. Much depends on
doing it at the right time. If you allow
the shoots to grow too long the plants

in part accountable for these changes,
but we think new location and the dis-
carding of badly affected stock the true
remedy. English and Dutch growers
have experienced this same trouble of
kite years, so we have the satisfaction of
knowing that we are not alone in our
misfortunes. W. X. Craig.

I);'cijue top-heavy and a hard rain -
wind will cause them to lie on one side
and before you know it you have ruined
the shape of the plants. The ideal car-
nation plant will stand up like an azalea,
with a compact body and numerous short-
jointed shoots ready to run up anrl
bloom as soon as the plants become es-

tablished in the houses. You don't want
a lot of plants that will lie all over the
bench, or have to be supported as bool*
as they are planted.

You need not make such a scientific
operation of this topping as some growers
would have you think. You don't need
a knife whetted up to a razor edge, nor
do you really need any knife at all it
you look after them regularly. When
the shoot lengthens out enough so that
you can see the stem between the joints
you can snap it with your thumb and
finger and the break will be as clean as'
if it were cut with a knife, and it takes
much less time. You must see to it.
though, that there is no tearing or bruis-
ing, to avoid which you must do the top-
ping when the plants are fresh, in the
morning or toward evening, and not too
long after a rain on a hot day. In
fact, they should not be .topped at all
when in a wilted condition.

Two to three joints is enough to allow
for each break on most varieties, as
symmetry and compactness should be
your aim. If you have four or five
joints the two top joints only will break
and soon your plants are top-heavy.

THE CHICAGO PREMIUMS.

The Horticultural Society of Chicago
has distributed the preliminary list of
premiums for the exhibition to be held
at the Fine Arts building and Audito-
rium in November. The list is on the
same plan as that of previous years, but
in many instances the premiums are more
liberal than heretofore and the sweep-
stake feature has been employed to a
greater degree than in the past. The
total amount of money carried in the reg-
ular classes is $2,448 and special classes
will be added later.

In cut blooms of chrysanthemums the
premiums for vases of twenty-five blooms
are $12 and $10. For vases of six the
premiums are $3 and $2. For best vases
of 100 blooms premiums of $50 and $40
are offered. There is $50 to be divided
between the two best vases of 100 flow-
ers no bloom of which exceeds four
inches in diameter. The other premiums
in this section are equally liberal and
should call out a representative exhibit.
In the classes for chrysanthemum plants
$15 and $10 are the premiums where a
single specimen is called for. The best
three standards will win $50 and the
second premium in this class is $35.
There are also very liberal premiums in
the classes for five and ten specimen
plants and for twenty-five plants grown
to single stem and also for group of
chrysanthemum plants to occupy fifty
square feet. These are calculated \o
bring out a good showing from the pri-
vate establishments.

The cut blooms of orchids will receive
$70, divided in first and second premi-
ums. In the miscellaneous plant classes
the premiums range somewhat higher
than before and in cut roses very
liberal offers are made. The best fifty
American Beauties will win $50 and
there are second and third premiums of.
$35 and $20. The best seventy-five Lib-
erty will receive $35 and the second
best vase $25. In the classes for 100
tea roses of the several varieties the
premiums are $20 and $12.

In the carnation section, classes are
provided for all the standard varieties
by name, the first premium being $4
and the -second $2 on fifty blooms, with

premiums of $3 and $2 for twenty-five
blooms of new varieties, introductions
of 1904. There are special classes for
the several colors in which 100 blooms
are required, with premiums of $10 and
$7. There is a sweepstakes premium
offered for the best exhibition of 100
blooms. The premiums for seedlings,
where twenty blooms are required, are
$10 in each class and there is a sweep-
stakes for the best exhibit among the
seedlings. Sweepstakes are also offered
in the classes for seedling chrysanthe-
mums and there is a silver cup for the
best new rose never before exhibited.

y^etable Forcing.

Vegetable markets are ruled by the
outdoor crops now in market. At Chi-
cago cucumbers were worth only from
20 to 45 cents a dozen and leaf lettuce
15 to 25 cents a case, May 25.

REVIEW OF THE SEASON.

The season of vegetable forcing is
just about closed. It is late now for
making any fresh plantations, so all that
remains to be done is to care for the
remnant of the crops now maturingi
Tomatoes and cucumbers are about the
only crops left, and they are about the
only crops that it will pay to hang on
to this late in the season, as lettuce,
cauliflower and such subjects are, or will
soon be, plentiful outdoors in most sec-
tions of the country. The present is a
good time to look over the houses and
find out what painting and repairs are
necessary, so that steps can be taken to
have this work done in good season,
then everything will be in readiness
when the time comes for again beginning
operations. As the work practically be-
gins in August, with the sowing of such
subjects as tomatoes and cucumbers, the
few weeks between now and then will
soon slip past, hence the necessity of
having everything ready to avoid both
hurry and delay.

Though the season, taken all through,
has not been a record-breaker as regards
prices, still, fairly good prices have in
general been obtained, but on account of
the severity of the winter a good deal of
the profits have been eaten up in the
extra coal necessary to keep things warm.
Of the several subjects, tomatoes have
fluctuated least of any in price, 20
cents per pound being the average
highest; on very few occasions did they
exceed this figure. Cucumbers have run
about $1.25 per dozen, but have fluc-
tuated from $1 to $1.50 for best quality.
Mushrooms have run from 35 to 60 cents
per pound, occasionally rising as high as
75 cents, though 40 cents has been about
the average best price. Lettuce has been
very uncertain, the best quality of heads
sometimes selling as low as $3.25 per
barrel and running anywhere from that
"P to $6, though around $4 has been
about the average price. For cauliflower
$3.50 per dozen has been about the aver-
age high price, though they have occa-
sionally sold as high a^ $5. Bhubarb has
ranged from 3 to 7 cents per pound, and
the highest price for asparagus has been

Modem Gunation Hout^, at Strafford Flower Farm.

pietty well maintained at $6 per dozen,
bunches, while the best prices for rad-
ishes have run from 40 to 60 cents per
dozen bunches.

Now is a- good time for the grower to
take a review of the season and find out
what has paid best, so that he can de-
cide what it is best to grow most of an-
other season. So much depends on the
market at which the produce is sold that
the producer is the best judge of his own
individual case. Though the best qual-
ity will always command the highest fig-
ure of the day, the fluctuations in price
from day to day are due more to supply
and demand than to the quality of the
article produced, hence the necessity of
the grower selecting the article with
which the market at which he sells is
lt£8t likely to be overrun.

It seems strange, but nevertheless a
fact, that all the growers in the same
section will often get running on the
same thing, the result being that all
available markets are soon overrun and
pi ices necessarily cut. A good deal of
this is often due to locality, which may
be very suitable for certain products, tfut
seeing that supply and demand have so
much influence on the market prices, the
grower must get away from the usual
rut to give himself a better chance of
getting fill] value for his products.

CXDRRECTIONS.

An error in proofreading caused
Hunt's spiked cemetery vase to be quoted
in our last issue at $2.25 per dozen and
$1.25 per dozen in barrel lots, when $1.95
per dozen in barrel lots is correct, as was
quoted in the larger advertisement May
5 This was in the advertisement of E.
H. Hunt, Chicago.

In the carnation advertisement of C.
Eisele, Philadelphia, last week the va-

riety Estelle was named instead of
Ethel Crocker. "I was busy all week
answering letters and returning money
sent with orders, because I didn't have
the stock," writes Mr. Eisele.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

The vast supply of outdoor lilac has
given way this week to the peony van-
guard, which is arriving from the south
in generally good condition. Home-
grown peonies seem unlikely to be in
before Decoration day, though last sea-
son they were nearly over at that time.
Calla lilies are becoming scarce, but
Easter lilies are in fair supply and can
be had in quantity if ordered ahead.
Carnations promise to be in large sup-
ply for Memorial day at slightly ad-
vanced figures. Some dealers have al-
ready stopped taking advance orders.
The feature of the rose market is the
arrival of new crop Beauties, in quantity,
Leo Niessen receiving 1,800 in a single
shipment on Monday. They are medium
and short-stemmed flowers with nice foli-
age. S. S. Pennock is receiving Hemer-
oeallis flava, the day lily, lemon yellow
i.. color, suitable for decorating.

The Strafford Flower Farm,

Through the courtesy of Samuel S.
Pennock, the well-known wholesale flor-
ist of this city, I was enabled to visit this
enterprising establishment some time
since. The party was to have consisted
of S. S. Pennock, A. B. Cartledge, David
Rust and Phil, but unluckily Mr. Cart-
ledge was obliged to secure some plants
needed in his store, so the number was
reduced to three. Some doubts had been
expressed as to whether the representa-
tives of two rival papers should go to-
gether on a visit of inspection, but these

May 26, 1904.

(Biibts must have been dispelled long be-
fore the train reached Strafford, a sta-
tion on the main line of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, lying between Wayne and
Devon.

The greenhouses are built on a piece
of ground admirably adapted for the
purpose, situated within easy walking
distance of the station. The visitors
were met by the proprietor, Edward A.
Stroud, who conducted them through his
houses. They are three in number, each
30x300, fourteen feet high at the ridge
and about six feet at the sides, even-span,
two top and two side ventilators. Each
house has four five-foot benches and is
divided at right angles through the cen-
ter by a broad pathway, with double
doors at the sides of each house. The
framework of the houses is of iron, the
glass 16x24 inches, double thick. The
roof bars and benches are of cypress.
There is also a smaller propagating
house, very light. The total area of glass
in the four houses is nearly 30,000 square
feet.

The entire place is devoted to carna-
tions grown for high-grade cut flowers.
Mr. Stroud's idea is to grow only the
best varieties, giving them all possible
encouragement. He does not believe iu
forcing crops for special occasions, pre-
ferring to keep the plants iu perfect
health, taking uo chances on injuring
them through undue exertion to produce
a heavy crop at a given time. Most of
the prominent commercial varieties of
carnations are grown aud ^nd favor
here. May Naylor, while not generally
grown, is a great favorite. Viola Allen
has not proved a worker. Harry Fenn,
crimson, a fine, robust grower, is thought
promising. The plants are supported
by strings tied to two rows of wires
stretched the length of the bench, one
over the other. When we saw the prop-
agating house it was filled with as pretty
a lot of young plants as any carnationist
could desire. 1 think we were told 40,-
000 of them, all in pots. Since then
they have been planted outside, as shown
in one of the accompanying photographs.
Enough for four benches, or about 3,600,
will be kept in pots to be benched next
month. It takes about 22,000 plants to
fill the houses.

Three large boilers, built by Hitchings
& Co., heat the place by hot water. They
are located in a neat, stone stoke hole,
light and well ventilated. The fuel used
is pea coal. At the opposite end of the
plant from the stoke hole is tfie building
devoted to oflSce, cooling and packing
rooms, which are commodious and ex-
ceedingly well appointed.

The enterprise and judgment dis-
played in the construction and arrange-
ment of the place reflects credit on the
proprietor, as does its condition on him
and on his foreman, Thomas Beattie.
The plans were drawn and executed by
Hitchings & Co. The cut flowers are
distributed by Samuel S. Pennock.

The impression created by the Straf-
ford Flower Farm is distinctly favora-
ble. A modern plant, costlv in construc-
tion, very light, durable, with little like-
lihood of repairs proving a serious item
for many a day. Near by is the old
Eagle Hotel, used by Mr. Stroud as a
sort of fish house, where he entertains
the good florists with great, big, hot pie?
with true country hospitality.

Various Notes.
M. Rice sailed from Hamburg on the

steamer Moltke May 18. B. Eschner
and Eugene Weiss expect to meet him
next Sunday.

Edward Reid shipped an order for
1,500 roses to go up the state to the
Knights Templar reunion.

C. F. Edgar & Co. are receiving ship-
ments of cape jasmine from the south.

J. Henry Bartram, of Lansdowne, has
been sending some fine Beauties to Ed-
ward Keid.

Albert M. Herr, of Lancaster, is send-
ing exceptionally nice Prosperity and
Roosevelt carnations to S. S. Pennock.

Considerable comment was' caused last
week by entire shipments of carnations
going to sleep the day after their arrival
in the commission houses. Inquiry among
the dealers brought out the opinion that
this trouble is due partly to the high
temperature in the greenhouses and ship-
ping boxes, partly to the plants being
out of condition, and partly to excess of
moisture in the air. The dealers are
taking special pains to keep the flowers in
cool, dry cellars. They suggest that per-
fect ventilation and picking the flowers
tipht will do much to avert this evil.

H. Bayersdorfer and wife sailed for
Europe last Tuesday.

The well-known carnation grower, L. B.
Eastburn, of Kennett Square, will con-
tinue to lease his greenhouses to a tomato
grower.

.The Market.

Conditions have not materially changed
during the past week. A spell of cool,
cloudy and showery weather, which ter-
minated on the 21st, considerably short-
ened the output of flowers, but the de-
mand was not suflBciently strong to cause
any advance. Prices have not varied
mucS from a week ago. Carnations con-
tinue abundant and of fine quality. A
few fancies bring $2 to $2.50 per 100,
but good blooms sell at 50 cents to $1
and inferior ones for anything they will
bring. Fortunately fewer poor flowets
are coming in each year.

Bulbous stock is now about over, ex-
cept for Narcissus poeticus and a few
bunches of Gesneriana and other late tu-
lips. Lilac is abundant, but as almost
every one grows it there is no money in
it. An immense quantity promises to be
available for Memorial day trade. Out-
door lily of the valley is of unusually
fine quality, entirely outclassing indoor
stock, the latter looking wretched in
comparison. ,

Bedding plant trade has been late^^iir
getting wnder way, but is now extremely
active. All the florists who grow this
titcck are very busy. A very large quan-
tity is being used this week in the ceme-
teries.

Everything at the time of writing
points to a record breaking Memorial
day trade. Although more outdoor ma-
terial than usual will be available for
the cheaper bouquets and wreaths, the
demand will use up every greenhouse
flower. Roses and carnations promise to
be abundant and of much better quality
tlian usual. There are the usual large
contributions of antirrhinum, candytuft,
spiraea, eallas, Lilium longiflorum, L.
oandidum, geraniums and other season-
able flowers.

Club Meeting.

There was an, excellent attendance at
the- regular monthly meeting of the
Gardeners' and Florists' Club on May
17 to listen to Carl Blomberg's paper on
alpine plants. Mr. Blomberg is an en-
thusiastic botanist and lover of hardy
plants, and spoke very entertainingly.
Being unable to give a complete list of
suitable rock plants in one evening he
promised to continue the subject on some
future occasion. An animated discus-
sion followed the reading of the paper.
Robert Cameron protested against the
term alpine plants being used to desig-
nate the plants named by the lecturer;
not over a dozen kinds named were really
such and most of them were excellent
subjects in the herbaceous border. Rock
plants should have been the title of the
lecture. With this view Mr. Blomberg
concurred. The lecturer had no faith in
the finer hybrid aquilegias, as they are
too short lived. They are best treated
as biennials, a view concurred -in by
others present.

In regard to the culture and propa-
gation of the pretty and popular Daphne
ciieorum, Julius Heurlin stated that he
had the best success in rooting this sub-
ject in August in frames with a bottom
heat of 110 degrees; keep frames shaded
and close, syringed once or twice a da^•.
but not very damp at the root. Treate I
in this way, out of a batch of 12,000 cut-
tings inserted last August he only lost
200.

An interesting exchange of experiences
in regard to the losses in trees and
shrubs during the late severe winter
bi ought out the fact that gardens in and
around Boston generally suffered less
than those a few miles inland. J. W.
Duncan gave a long list of plants in-
jured in the Boston park system.
Among others not yet named in this
column Were Berberis vulgaris, quite
badly cut down; cornus in many cases
cut to the ground, and all flower buds
killed; Ligustrum amurense and L. regel-
iunum stood the winter poorly. Among
the loiiiceras, Tj. fragrantissima was cut
down, as were Eiseagnus longipes, kerrias,
bignonias and rhodotypos. Prunus mari-
tima was killed and P. Americana cu*^
back severely. Rosa Wichuraiana was
also badly hurt and R. multiflora killed.

Experiences as to injury were also
furnished by President Pettigrew, Dun-
can Finlayson, W. J. Stewart, W. N.
Craig, James Wheeler, Wm. Downs,
Charles Sander, .L Westwood and others
and it -was generally agreed that the
late winter was the most destructive
ever experienced.

Presid^t Pettigrew announced the
following committee on prizes for the
chrysanthemum show next November and
the rose show in March, 1905: Messrs.
Cameron, Wilde, Montgomery, Craig and
Wheeler. Several new members were
elected.

The exhibits included a collection of
hardy plants from Carl Blomberg, in-
cluding Cypripedium arietinum, C. pubes-
cens and C. parviflorum, Dodecatheon
Meadia, D. integrifolium, etc. Robert
Cameron showed a grandly flowered
si>ecimen of Dendrobium tortile, an old
orchid, introduced nearly sixty years ago,
but not often seen in good condition.
The flowers are of a very pale yellow
color suffused into purplish rose.

W. N. Craig shotted a collection of late
flowering tulips, including Didieri, re-
troflexa, Gesneriana major ar.d Gesneriana

An effort by the Massachusetts For-

probable that this terrible pest will cause

local bodies will avail little.

EDWARD J. BERTERMANN.

The accompanying portrait of Edward
J. Bertermann is from a sketch made
by the artist of the Indianapolis Sen-
tinel and was published with the fol-
lowing note:

Edward J. Bertermann, general man-
ager of the Bertermann Bros. Company,
is one of the most thoroughly equipped
floriculturists west of the Alleghany
mountains. The company, of whose ex-
tensive business he has for a long time
had the practical business management,
besides the subject of this sketch, in-

cludes three other brothers — John Ber-
termann, president of the corporation;
Walter H. Bertermann, vice-president,
and Irwin F. Bertermann, secretary-
treasurer.

The company long since established at
3002 E. Washington street, extensive
greenhouses, where a large and varied
stock is grown. With a thorough knowl-
edge of the floral art Edward J. Berter-
mann has coupled the force that has
come to him from years of study of
business methods and this naturally, has
rendered him invaluable in bringing trade
of the Bertermann Bros. Company to
the splendid and profitable condition it
enjoys in the local business world at
this time.

The Bertermann brothers have long
been actively identified with the local,
state and national association of florists,
and the magnificent success which has
attended the annual chrysanthemum
shows in this city to a very large de-
gree may be attributed to the wise judg-
ment and excellent advice of the gentle-
man whose portrait The Sentinel pre-
sents today, Mr. Bertermann, who has
been iq this country and city for twen-
ty-seven years, will shortly leave for
Europe and recently took out his nat-
uralization papers in the Superior Court
in order that he might go back to the
land of his ancestors a genuine and un-
questionable American citizen.

He resides in a pretty home at 628
Lockerbie street, and is a warm personal
friend of his neighbor, James WTiitcomb
Eiley.

The Market.

The weather conditions are at last
seasonable and the market seems to have
settled down to its usual summer dull-
ness. School commencement, Decoration
clay demands and June brides may com-
bine to lift things slightly, but the gen-
eral sentiment is one of resignation to
ihe inevitable. A reduction in the over-
whelming supplies of the last two weeks
may enhance values temporarily for Me-
morial day, but at the present writing
there is enough of everything and to
spare. Outdoor stock is abundant, espe-
cially valley and lilac, which are every-
where and fine in quality and popular.
The lower grades of roses and carnations
come in floods and have no permanent
value. Cape jasmines were a drug on
Saturday, one firm with a shipment of
1,000 not having sold a dozen up to
closing time. Lilies continue plentiful
and cheap.

Various Notes.

Nick Schreiner, of J. K. Allen 's force,
will celebrate the outing holiday by mar-
rying Miss Mamie Flynn, June 29.

Sigmund Geller returned home from
his European trip on the Kaiser Wilhelm
last Tuesday.

Alex Guttman finds the added conven-
ience of two telephones a necessity and
lias no complaint to make of the season 's
business.

Jos. Leikens, of Newport, was in town
last week making some extensive pur-
chases for his new store on Bellevue
avenue there. He seems well pleased with
liis progress and has the filling of the
Beekman estate to complete, as an anchor
to windward.

The outing is next in interest to the
club's peony and ladies' night on June
13. The official program will be dis-
tributed next week and the list of sports
and prizes far exceeds that of last year,
while the attendance promises a similar
increase. The committee ask all who will
attend to communicate with Treasurer
Sehenck at once that ample provision
may be made for all. Among the prizes
already offered are:

Fire for the ladies' bowling match by Pres-
ident Traendly; nine bottles of champagne by
John B. Nugent to the winners of the base ball
mutch; 16 by John Raynor and $5 by W. C.
Mansfield for the men's bowling prizes; prizes
for the one mile race and the married

race, under 8 years, by Jos. Millang, two prises
$4 and $2; boys' race, under 12, by John
Young; boys' race, under 16, by Walter Sheri-
dan; girls' race, under 8, by J. K. Allen; girls'
race, under 12, by Chas. Schenclc; girls'
race, under 16, by Moore, Hentz & Nash;
two prizes for married ladles' race, by
Sigmund Geller; old maids' race, by Joseph

and their foreman only, the Lord & Burnham
prizes $5 and $3; girls' race under 18, a $6
bolt of ribbon and a special press bowling prize
of a handsome bronze inkstand, by John Birnie.
Many more prizes and contests will be reported
In our next. If any other of the club members
desire to give further prizes they can at once
communicate with President Traendly.

Immense importations of European
stock are arriving, among them a Bhip-
ment of 600 bay trees to Julius Roehrs,
many of them magnificent specimens
The demand for the bay seems continuous
and their use almost universal. Hardly
a hotel or restaurant is without them.
Their popularity increases and the over-
supply which seemed at one time to
threaten has not materialized. Eevolu-
tionized Coney Island, with its magnifi-
cent parks and ' ' dreamland, ' ' has found

decoration and shipments to out-of-town
florists are increasing wonderfully every
year.

John Scott has been visiting Boston,
Newport and other New England cities,
exhibiting a specimen of his fern. Its
character and rapidity of growth all aj)-
peal to the commercial growers and lie-
reports a great demand for it.

Alfred L^ngjahr, of the Brooklyn Hor-
ticultural Society, reported a special
meeting Monday evening, when a final
disposition of the surplus was made and
arrangements for a farewell banquet of
the members consummated.

Hicks & Crawbuck, the wholesalers of
Brooklyn, lost a valuable wagon last
week in a collision with a trolley, tlio
horse and driver escaping injury.

June 8 and 9 the American Peony So-
ciety will make an exhibit at the Bronx
Botanic Grarden, by invitation of th.
New York Horticultural Society.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

The men of the market have been be-
tween the devil and the deep sea this weeK.
The change to hot, close, damp weather
when the plants were full of buds hold-
ing for Memorial day, resulted in a great
rush of stock of such inferior grade that
the wholesaler dares not ship it out to
his customer for fear of losing his trade
and at the same time the grower thinks
he is entitled to returns in keeping with
the shipping quotations. The avalanche
of undesirable material has completely
inundated the market for the first few-
days of this week. The local retailers
will not accept this inferior stuff any
more than will the out-of-town customer,
and the Greeks refuse to handle "bum"
roses and sleepy carnations when there-
is such a wealth of seasonable outdoor
flowers with which they can do business.
Consequently the waste is high.

Of all the roses, American Beauty is
holding its quality the best. There are
still large supplies of long stock and an
unlimit^ quantity of shorts. - Color is
lacking to a certain degree, but compares
favorably with that of Bridesmaid, or any
other colored rose except Liberty and
Meteor. The Bride is quite eclipsed by
Kaigerin, although the supply of -the lat-
ter is small. AU roses are small in bud.
open and soft in texture, in fact in manv
of them the petals seem almost to have
rotted as a result of hot, damp weather.
Much of the foliage is unsightly because
of mildew.

There are large supplies of carnations
at hand, but they will not stand a long
journey; in fact those which are re-
ceived fresh in the morning, if not moy«<l
out, are asleep by the following morning
and wholly unsalable. If they go to sleep
in the wholesaler's ice box it is not to be
wondered at that they go to sleep in the
shipping boxes, and neither is it to be
wondered at that the customer objects to
the grade of stock he is getting, but it
is wholly beyond the control of the
wholesaler

This does <not speak for the satisfac-
tion which should attend the very heavy
business which will be done the latter
part of the week for Memorial day. The
only saving clause is that Memorial day
is pre-eminently an occasion where low
prices are more necessary than quality.
There will be an abundance of the ' ' our
selection ' ' grades, but prices on the very
few good roses are likely to advance.

The retailer who is not satisfied with
the quality of roses and carnations can
fall back on the peony. The receipts in
the last three days have been phenome-
nal, far ahead of anticipations and there
are now literally thousands of dozens in
the cold storage houses waiting for the
rush at the last of the week. It is stock
from Missouri and southern Illinois, the
sources from which the best of the early
cuts have come in previous years, and the
receipts have been literally by the car-
load. Quality is excellent and the varie-
ties of the best, there being a consider-
able proportion of Festiva maxima, and
a few of the fine red, Kichardson 's rubra
superba.

There is pretty sure to be a slaughter
in the cape jasmines, for there are hun-
dreds of cases in cold storage, early re-
ceipts which could not be moved and
which are held on the chance of a mar-
ket between now and next Monday. The
best stock seen so far is that from C. W.
Benson, at Alvin, Texas. As an example
of the way it goes, a Dr. J. D. Ward,
of Dickinson, Tex., on Monday shipped
25,000 capes consigned to the American
Express Company instead of to a whole-
sale florist. Doubtless he thought the
express company would be able to find a
better market than the florist would, but
the express company turned them overto
the commission men, dividing the ship-
ment into two or three lots. It was not
good stuff, and the consignee will be
lucky if he gets any return.

The local lilac is at its height, but as
the weather is very warm it is likely to
be pretty well off by the end of the
week; a great deal of it shakes badly
already. Emil Buettner is sending in
some remarkably fine outdoor white lilac.
The Kennicotts, at The Grove, are send-
ing in a big crop of outdoor tulips which
are of good quality, but not active sale,
as the supply now exceeds the demand-
There are also considerable receipts of
parrot tulips. Outdoor valley is in and
there are still violets in the market. The
lily situation does not improve and there
are untold thousands of sweet peas to be
had without notice. If there is any
scarcity in anything it is not on record.

Various Notes.

The E. F. Winterson Co. has just re-
ceived a good-sized shipment of Belgian
palms in the larger sizes, for which there
is an active demand.

John Poehlmann is suffering with a
carbuncle on his neck. They are just
now getting in a large crop of Beauties.

Wietor Bros, are cutting from their
house of Kaiserin roses and the stock
is of very fine quality.

The Kennicott Bros. Co. has arrange-
ments which bring them each year the
big cut of peonies in the vicinity of Sar-
KJOxie, Mo. A week ago Mr. Pieser said
that he counted on a big cut for Decora-
tion day, and now he says it is three
times what he anticipated. But as the
(^ality is all that could be asked, a
good market is looked for. The whites
were selling at $1 a dozen early in the
week. There is, however, likely to be a
bad break in prices when the local crop
comes on.

George Beinberg has his big plantation
of carnations all in the field. It was a
big task because he is largely extending
his glass this year and because he does
a big business in the fall in field-grown
carnation plants.

John Sinner says that his firm is stead-
ily extending its shipping trade and that

he expects another year to do a big busi-
ness in this line.

E. C. Amling is getting some splendit!
gladioli from the same grower who is
so successful with his lilies.

Only one bowler brought his goott

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

The past week cut flower business was
more active than for some time and the
florists about town report some large or-
ders for funerals, wedding receptions,
dinners and "World's Fair work, where a
great deal of entertaining is going on
and the commissioners of the different
state buildings seem liberal in regard to
floral decorations. This used up the large
surplus of stock at the wholesale houses.
Transient trade among the down-town re-
tailers is keeping up pretty well. Sat-
urday and today, Monday, receipts are
lighter in all lines except outdoor stuff,
which is very plentiful. First-class stock
of all kinds is being cleaned up pretty
well and the glut seems over for a while
at least, and prices, too, are somewhat
higher on best grades. Orders for Memo-
rial day are coming in now and the pros-
pects are for good trade on that day.
Work for school commencements early
next month will help keep us busy up to
June 15, after which the summer stillness
will be on, unless the World's Fair
changes matters for this summer, and a
great many of our florists are looking
f(rward to good business right along.

Boses and carnations, which have been
abundant, have slacked up somewhat, no
job lots are offered and the fakirs have
to content themselves with cape jasmines
for their street sales. American Beau-
ties are in fair demand, with top prices
ai $2.50 per dozen. In smaller roses all
varieties are in good demand, at prices
from $4 to $8 per 100. Carnations are
still in fine condition and the demand
uses up about all that come in. Fancies
are again up to $3, and $2 for firsts.
Commons run from $1 to $1.50 per 100.
Sweet peas are coming in by the thou-
sands and sell fairly well, at 50 and 75
cents per 100. Pink, white and lavender
are the choice sellers. Peonies are sell-
ing clean at $5 per 100. Cape jasmines
are 50 and 75 cents per 100 and $5 per
1,000. Outdoor stock, lilac, snowballs
and valley, are selling slowly. Smilax in
long strings brings 25 cents, shorts l")
cents. Other greens are in good supply.

Among the plantsmen trade in all
kinds of plants is booming and some have
already completely sold out. Geraniums
are in great demand, in fact anything in >
the plant line is in big demand. The
greenhouse men will surely reap a har-
vest this year. The weather, too, has
been favorable to planting out the last
two weeks.

E. I., is no\y employed at Mr. Kellogg 's
place in Pleasant Hill.

C. Young & Sons Co. report that they
are almost cleaned out of bedding stock
and in another week will make a clean
sweep of everything. This has been an
exceptionally good year with all the St,
Louis florists in the plant line, as all are
reporting a big plant trade in every-
thing.

Arthur Ellison is off on a fishing trip
down south for a month. Arthur is tak-
ing his vacation early this year. He will
be back soon to get in condition for the
convention bowling.

Leo Osternei is out at the World's
Fair grounds selling palms for Siebrecht
& Son, New York. Their salesroom is in
the Horticulture building. Harry Sie-
brecht was here last week. They will
send two car loads of fine palms for ex-
hibition. His firm will also make a big
display at our trade exhibition in Au-
gust.

There were nc roses on exhibition in
the Horticulture building for the open-
ing day of the rose show, which was set
for May 21 to 25 inclusive.

George Waldbart has some elegant
bay trees in all shapes in front of his
store on Grand avenue. Mr. Waldbart is
having a very busy season, with recep-
tions and dinner parties. Funeral work,
too, has been plentiful. A gyeat show of
fine blooming plants can also be seen at
this place.

On Tuesday of last week, Charlie
Schoenele, who is with Mrs, M. M. Ayers,
was held up by highwaymen and relieved
of his fine gold watch and chain. Charlie
was lucky at that; he only had $1.10 in
money about him, so they gave him back
10 cents for car fare.

Planting has begun in City Hall park.
Park Commissioner Aull says that 30,000
Piants were used in this park. The large
center beds are the same as last year,

the only new feature a few small beds
around the big ones in the grass plots.
All parks under his jurisdiction will be
finished by June 1. Some new designs
are promised in Forest park this year.
Mr. Aull has plenty in the greenhouses
at Forest park to make the parks all
attractive this sununer.

H. M. Schisler, of the Schisler-Comelli
Seed Co., rep6rts that the University
Hotel has been selected as the meeting
place of the American Seed Trade Asso-
ciation, which holds its twenty-second
annual convention here next month, June
21 to 23. Visiting members are requesteo
to take the Market street cars, which run
past the Union station and will take
them direct in front of the hotel, which
adjoins the World's Fair grounds. A
meeting has been called for this week of
the local seedsmen to select committees
who will have charge of entertaining the
visiting seedsmen.

The huge floral clock at the World's
Fair grounds is almost completed. The
minute hand, seventy-four feet long, is
now in place. The hands weigh 2,500
pounds. Everything is worked out in
plants. J. W. Dunford, at Clayton, is
growing some 15,000 verbenas and gera-
niums for the clock. This, when com-
pleted, will be a great attraction for all
visitors.

At the dedication of the French build-
ing last week 5,000 American Beauties
were given away. Every lady visitor on
entering the building got one for a pres-
ent. The rooms were also tastefully dec-
orated with a fine lot of palms.

In the Texas building last week Mrs.
James Madison Bass, of Temple, Texas,
distributed 50,000 cape jasmine buds to
visitors. This will continue as long as
they last.

During the World's Press Parliament,
which convened last week in Festival
Hall at the World's Fair grounds, jour-

nalists from thirty-five nations were
piesent. Several of the state buildings
ei'tertained their press representatives.
Every building was handsomely deco-
rated and the Press building was made
especially attractive for the representa-
tives.

The Federation of Women 's Clubs,
v/hich met here last week, was enter-
tained on Friday by Mrs. William Tre-
lease, who gave them a garden party in
the Missouri Botanic Garden and 2,000
of the club women were in attendance.
The garden presented a handsome ap-
pearance. Befreshments were served on
the lawn, after which the hostess and her
assistant personally conducted the tours
through the entire garden and green-
houses, which was a great treat to the
visitors. This the ladies considered one
of the features of their convention.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

May 26. 1904.

PACIFIC COAST.

Elmhurst, Cal.— Paul W. Grallert,
who has been located in the nursery
business at Colma, is building the larg-
est greenhouses in the state at his prop-
erty on the Yoakum tract. There are
now twelve nurseries located at Elm-
hurst within the radius of a mile.

The California deciduous fruit season
opened April 30, with the shipment of
a box of Sacramento valley cherries. The
first box was sold in Chicago for $25
or $3.12 a pound. The second sale was
made in New York and the figure was
$21. The third sale, made in Philadel-
phia, at auction, was a record breaker,
eight pounds of cherries bringing the
remarkable price of $70.

Feesno, Cal. — S. W. Marshall, the
well-known pioneer nurseryman, has just
reorganized his business and has incor
porated several new departments. The
business, established fifteen years ago,
has up to the present time been con-
ducted along the lines of a general nurs-
ery. But the local demand for high
class ornamental trees and plants has in-
creased so within the last five years that
it has been found necessary to expand.
Hereafter the company will be prepared
to supply all classes of nursery stock,
both fruit and ornamental. They are
also planning a new range of greenhouses
for growing cut flowers for the local
trade. As CaJifomia is fast becoming
* ' the land of beautiful homes, ' ' they v^lJ
also be prepared to execute landscape
work of every description, based upon a
thorough knowledge of soil and climatic
conditions.

. SAN FRANCISCO.

The Spring Flower Show.

The third annual spring exhibition of
the Pacific Coast Horticultural Society
opened May 12. This is not only the
finest show ever given by this society
from the quantity of exhibits but from
a standpoint of quality also. Great
credit is due to H. Plath and the board
of directors, for certainly there has
never been anything like it in San Fran-
cisco. The section of the nave of the ferry
building in which the exhibits have been
placed resembles a beautiful garden and
the stands against the walls were piled
high with enormous bunches of roses
and carnations and everything else in
season. The exhibits were in four
classes, comprising cut flowers, plants,
floral designs and amateur exhibits. The
committee to whom credit is due for
the excellent arrangement consisted of
John McLaren, S. Clack and Geo. Wal-
ters. A very fine lot of roses and car-
nations from John Young, of Berkeley,
and pxhibitetl by F. Pelicano, was miuti
admired but they were not entered for
competition.

The finest vase of roses in Ihe exhibit
was a bunch of Beauties with six-foot
stems and flowers to match shown by
Ferrari Bros., and the finest single
bunch of carnations was a huge vase of
Hannah ftlobart, from Sievers & Co.
This firnr'-also received first prizes for
their exhibit of about 100 varieties of
pelargoniums and for the best collection
of decorative plants staged for effect.
P. C. Meyer, of Burlingame, although

, young in the business, made some of
the older growers stare. He captured
the first prize for the largest collection
of roses grown under glass and also
for the largest assortment of carnations.
Mr. Meyer and his foreman, Mr. Breen,
deserve great credit for their exhibit,
which was one of the finest in the show.
Ferrari Bros, have a very good assort-
ment of roses grown under glass and
their exhibit of irises in about twelve
varieties received first prize. Of out-
door grown roses F. Ludemann had the
finest collection, consisting of over 200
varieties. Mr. Ludemann also showed
a large assortment of palms, ferns and
decorative plants. The finest single fern
was a magnificent specimen of Adiantumf
cuncatuni with a three-foot crown
shown by H. Plath, who also received first
prize for his collection of pansies and
his exhibit of ferns. The California
Nursery Co., of Niles, had a large and
comprehensive showing of hardy out-
door flowers. They received first prize
for their exhibit of clematis, consisting
of about a dozen varieties, also first
prize for peonies and second prizes for
their exhibits of shrubbery and field-
grown roses.

One of the largest and finest exhibits
in the show was that of about 100 va-
rieties of sweet peas grown by C. C.
Morse & Co., of Santa Clara. Wm. Ket-
tlewell, gardener to Geo. A. Pope, ol'
Burlingame, captured first prize for larg-
est collection of garden flowers as well
as prizes for pansies and pelargoniums.
J. W. Bagge exhibited the best collec-
tion of coleus and a splendid specimen
of staghorn fern. Fick & Faber, the
Redwood City Carnation Co. and Henr^
L. Goertzhain also had good collections'
of carnations and the Vawter Carnation
Co. had the only exhibit of outdoor
grown flowers. Thos. Thompson exhibit-
ed several blooms of the yellow calla and
the Leedham Bulb Co., also of Santa
Cruz, had a good showing of late flower-
ing bulbs. W. A. Crocker had a large
collection of flowering shrubs and the
Golden Gate park exhibited two giant
bowls of hardy nymphaeas and a fine
assortment of ferns, calceolarias, azaleas
and stove plants.

The Market.

Flowers at last are a glut. Carna-
tions can be had at any price. I saw
forty dozen Flora Hill sold today for
$'Z and they were good stock. There is
a fair price for fancy sorts but for the
usual list it is useless to quote any fig-
ures. I do not hear many growers com-
plaining about not being able to sell
their roses. Most of this stock is good
and will continue so until we have a spell
of warm weather. Sweet peas are an-
other drug at present; one almost has to
pay the florists for taking them. Coreop-
sis, gaillardias and bachelor's buttons
are handled in large quantities and can
be had at any price. Japanese irises are
being brought in by a few growers and
they are good sellers. They keep well
and are splendid for decorative purposes.
They cost the florists from $3 to $5 per
hundred.

The glut will be over in a couple of
weeks, however, and then things will in a
measure right themselves again. There
has been considerable work for school
commencements during the past week,
and more to follow, but outside of this
there is very little doing. Funeral work
has been scarce all around and the onlv

thing we have to console us is that Deco-
ration day is near at hand.

Various Notes.

At the monthly meeting of the Cali-
fornia State Floral Society, Rudolph
Ljchtenberg read an interesting paper on
the oils and essences to be found in per-
fume flowers. He said that in the city
of Grasse in France, where the largest
perfume factories are to be found, over
3,000,000 pounds of rose leaves yearly
are consumed in the making of the vari-
ous perfumes for the trade, the annual
sale from these extracts being over $1,-
000,000. He further explained that there
are jiinety-seven factories for the produc-
tion of the essential oils in the United
States, only one of which is situated in
California which he considered the one
land of all others that should lead in
this production.

S. W. Marshall, of Fresno, one of the
pioneer nurserymen of the coast, is in
town.

The Board of Public Works of Oak-
land has adopted a resolution whereby
all the city gardeners will receive a two
weeks' vacation each year without any
less of wages. G.

PORTLAND, ORE.

The Market.

There is not much doing in the retail
line to enthuse over, in fact it may be
said that trade generally is not as active
as it was a year ago. Excessive rain in
the early season retarded the progress of
outdoor work and threw so many out of
employment that currency appears to be
troubled with poor circulation. Cut flow-
ers of the better grades are still bringing
good prices and anything new offered
meets with a favorable reception. With
stock so plentiful we could easily handle
some good decorations, which at this
writing are as scarce as Russian naval
victories. Pretty Miss Pond Lily has
made her debut and as grown here, only
in limited quantities, will be deservedly
popular for the next six weeks. They
retail at $1.50 per dozen. It was only
a few years ago that the first plants
were brought to the northwest. While
flowers are abundant, smilax and aspar-
agus are decidedly scarce, but then we
have recourse to the tall timber where
is found the beautiful Oregon grape and
huckleberry, much used by the florists
here in making up large bunches and
funeral work. These are preferred by
our customers to the common wood fern.

From many inquiries and orders al-
ready booked we have reason to expect
a big Decoration day trade. From east-
ern Oregon and Idaho, where the season
is late, comes the heaviest demand.

Various Notes.

The plantsmen are through with their
rush and satisfied with results. Gera-
niums and other bedding plants are not
so extensively used here as they are in
the eastern cities. Everybody has a
mania for roses and little protection is
needed in our climate. The earlier va-
rieties are already blooming and the
middle of June will see them all out in
profusion, when our Rose Society expects
to give its annual show.

Since Congress has given an appro-
priation of $500,000 for the Lewis and
Clark fair, greater activity is noticed at
the fair grounds. Work in every depart-

the landscaping has received the most at-

Flowers of every description are very
abundant at the present time, the yards
are overloaded and the street corners are
ciowded with petty dealers. People who
only grow flowers for a pastime and who
have in their yards niore flowers than
they know what to dq< with, place them
upon the market at whatever they will
bring, regardless of the market price,
and the result is that very good flowers
can be obtained for almost nothing.

Field grown carnations are unusually
plentiful and are now selling as low as
50 cents per hundred, wholesale. Cen-

Brunner roses find a ready market at

Maman Cochet roses are bringing 75
cents per dozen, with a plentiful supply
on the market. Brides and Maids are
now selling for $1 per dozen. Sprengeri
sprays are 50 cents per hundred and
plumosus from 35 to 50 cents per string.
Lilies of the valley are now quoted as
low as 35 cents per dozen and sweet peas
are only bringing $1.50 per thousand.

Business has been quite brisk during
the month of May, due principally to
tht. influx of eastern visitors drawn
thither by the world's conference of
Methodist Episcopal churches, and also
the convention of the Brotherhood of Lo-
comotive Engineers, both of which last
the entire month.

E'. J. Vawter, president of the Ocean
Park Floral Co., has been donating on an
average of 2,000 carnations per day to
the conference people for distribution
at the convention hall and has thrown
open to the public the carnation fields at
Ocean Park, which now present a sight
much appreciated by our eastern friends,
and the opportunity to visit these famous
fields has been taken advantage of by a
great many.

The demand for floral decorations and
funeral work seems to be unusually
heavy this month, according to the re-
ports of local florists and the dealers in
the country towns are also quite active
for this time of the year. R. B. H.

THE PROBLEM OF HELP.

Conditions in California.

In your issue of May 5 a writer un-
dertakes to explain the condition of the
labor market in California. I have
warned my fellow craftsmen before to
the effect that there are not "plenty of
good places waiting for first-class men
at first-class wages."

The fact of a few growers not be-
ing able to get competent, reliable help
is a fault which they can lay at their
own doors. The majority of growers in
California expect to get a working fore-
man for $2 a day and he board and
lodge himself out of that $2. Not only
has he a certain amount of responsibility
fin his shoulders, but he has a day's
work to do himself, besides seeing that
those under him do a day's work. And
after the laborers and day men quit at
five or six o'clock he starts to look
around and see if everything is in ship-
shape order for the night and if his
stock is ready for shipment; if not he
has to be out at four o'clock next morn-
ing to make up for somebody's fault.
By this tim« it is probably eight or nine
o'clock and poor Mr. Foreman says to
himself, "Well I guess I'll quit; I think
I have done enough for today. I have
been at it steady since 6 o'clock this
morning all for $2."

He keeps this up for a month or so
and then gets tired out, gets disgusted
with everything around him and throws
up the job. Another man starts in and
it is the same thing over again. And
my humble opinion is that such will con-
tinue to be the case until such time ar-
rives that the services of gardeners, fior-
ists and growers are appreciated and
they receive better compensation for
their labor than $2 a day, or $50 a month
and board themselves.

Another mistake the employer very
often makes is that when he has a good
man and gets the place in running order,
then he gets a notion he can cut down
expenses for a few months, and Mr.
Cheapjohn comes along with a bundle
of references and gets a good man's
place at about half the wages. The em-
ployer thinks he has made a bargain
till, after a few weeks, he finds his place
and his stock run down and unsalable.
Then he cries out that he can't get good
help.

The way to solve the problem in this
business is to hire good, reliable men,
pay good wages and treat your men as
men. By doing so, the youth leaving
school with a good education will be
induced to enter the field of floriculture.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

May 26, 1904.

WASHINGTON.

The condition of the market remains
about the same as was reported last
week, with the exception of a little stir
Wednesday and Thursday, which was
confined principally to funeral work. ■

Planting has begun in the public parks
and the beds are beginning to assume
their spring-like appearance. All the
growers of bedding plants are doing a
splendid business. Many things are al-
ready sold out. Geraniums are now in
great demand, as also are heliotropes and
verbenas.

The regular meeting of the Florists'
Club will be held the first Wednesday in
June and it is earnestly requested that
all members make a special effort to be
present, promptly at eight o'clock.

Captain Ernest had the bowlers out
last Wednesday night for practice and
seme fine scores were made. A good
game was rolled between Shaffer and
Clark. Shaffer making 222 and Clark 212.
Captain Ernest hung up a score of 2.56
and this will about take the Bathskeller 's
weekly prize of fifty cigars.

Mr. Green, representing M. Rice &
Co., was a recent caller, H. B. L.

BUFFALO.

Various Topics of Interest.

There has been no event of late eali-
ingr for any special quantity of flowers,
but yet a very fair, steady demand, and
we are not so much overdone with sur-
plus flowers as is the report from mair
sister cities. Some real pleasant weather
of the last week, all but a little showery,
has set everyone thinking of his garden
and a very busy time is seen with the
market people. There are a great number
who must go to market because they car.
buy cheaper, even if they pay 1 or 2
cents more for a 4-inch geranium thau
they would at the greenhouse! C. F
Christensen, of Eggertsville, is carting in
loads of wonderfully fine zonales and
fuchsias and many other plants of the
season. Schwert & Bernard, of the
Forks, are fast emptjdng out their usual
stock of 25,000 zonale geraniums, and
Banner Bros., of Pine Bidge. have
crowded houses of bedding plants.

Those are the principal contributors
to the market, yet there are lots of other<5
^■'th lesser quantities. We know piar*
can 't be bought cheap on the market

ing profit in it, not even if you work

This has been such a strange and pe-
culiar spring that we hardly know where
we are at. As noticed by some other
correspondent, all classes of the tulips,
the early single, the parrot, the late vari-
eties and the Gesneriana, are all together.
Peonies never are in with us for Deco-
ration day and. won't be this year for a
month. How wonderful to hear that
they are abundant in Milwaukee and yet
won't be out in Long Island I They
must have been watering them with that
which made Milwaukee famous, heated
to a temperature of 175. That's the
correct temperature to scald a pig or
extract the saccharine matter from the
barley.

Ldlac will be just right with us and
outside valley will be right on top. If
some framed and shaded glass are put
over valley beds and they are not too oM
and crowded it comes about as good as
the best inside grown. There will be
no trouble to save tulips, if cut and kept
cool. So altogether we shall get along
and if the weather is such as it is this
blessed morning, there will be a bip
business.

How remarkable that almost from
every city, big and little, comes the
mournful cry of overproduction and lov/
prices. Carnations, 50 cents to $1 ; roses,
$1 to $3 per 100, and in some cases no
price at all. This is the continentaJ
plaint with one glorious exception. From
glorious old Canada comes the report.
Toronto says "business is fine, prices
have dropped, yet better grades of roses
bring $8 and carnations $3, ' * all of which
goes to show how necessary it is for up
to have a twenty-five per cent protective
tariff to keep the low paid Canucks from
swamping our market! Saddle Eiver pa-
pers please copy.

We glory in that forty-eight out ot
fifty targets of James Eadie, of Cleve-
land. Look out Darby Eoad and Chest-
nut street. Chestnut Hill and Dayton, O.
It will need the inspiration of the Mar-
guerite's ice box to equal that.

That is a dreadful thing we hear from
Lynn, Mass., a burglar under a lady
florist's bed, and he escaped! We knew

Buffalo has occupied a conspicuous
place in the press of the country for
the last week because the great lights of
the Presbyterian church of the United
States are here in annual general assem-
bly. The union of the north and south
church is the most exciting topic before
them. Since this venerable body decided
in convention a few years ago, in Phila-
delphia, that babies of thirteen weeks
would not be toasted for eternity be-
cause they had not joined the church,
we have felt much more comfortable for
the future existence of our neglected off-
spring. W. S.

Hiawatha, Kans. — J. W. Margrave &
Co. say that trade is very good this
spring but the season is late and cold
rains very frequent.

MtoNTPELiER, Vt. — H. M. Totman has
bought the interest of his partner, F. J.
Burnell, and will continue business for
his own account.

ScRANTON, Pa. — W. W. Nash has just
completed a very nice order for the
planting of the extensive Comstock prem-
ises. A large number of flowering shrubs
were used.

Reading, Pa. — Lee H. Keller, former-
ly of New York, is remodeling the store
at 636 Penn street and will open it
shortly as a first-class cut flower store.
A conservatory is being built in the

Seed sweet corn is in brisk demand,
and where the seller is reasonably sure
of his stock the purchaser puts up a good
stiff figure for what he needs of it.

Among the few displays of seeds from

building at the St. Louis "World's Fair.

Knud Gunderstrup succeeds P. F.
Thomsen, who for a number of years
has conducted a seed business at Jeffer-
son Park, 111. The business will be con-
tinued along the same lines.

The Massachusetts legislature, May
23, passed a law forbidding the payment
or acceptance of a commission where
an employe acts as a purchasing agent,
the penalty for so doing being a fine of
from $10 to $500.

Reports from Louisville, Ky., put the
acreage of onion sets this year at some-
what less than a year ago. In places a
fairly good stand is reported, while in
othersi the stand is poor and on the whole
the season is two weeks behind, with
the outlook for a good crop not encour-
aging.

Eeports from the pea growing dis-
tricts of Wisconsin and Michigan are en-
couraging. As a rule the stand and
prospect is equal to last year's at same
date. At some of the points well
north crops are planted, but not yet up,
conditions favorable for quick growth,
however.

It is usual at this time of the year to
see plenty of home-grown green stuff on
the Chicago market. This year there is
nothing so far and it will likely be some
time before the market gardeners will
realize anything from this year 's product.
It is needless to say that this has a great
deal of effect upon the seedsmen 's profits.

SEED TRADE CONVENTION.

The American Seed Trade Association
will hold its twenty-second annual conven-
tion at the Forest Park University Hotel,
St. Louis, June 21 to 23. Secretary Ken-
del has just issued a very neatly printed

It will be readily seen that the subjects

had no equal in the history of the asso-
ciation and a large attendance is assured.

C»RN TO PLANT.

In the Yearbook of the Department
of Agriculture for 1902, in discussing
corn breeding, C. P. Hartley states that
butts and tips should be rejected when
shelUng for seed. Replying to an in-
quiry Mr. Hartley writes:

Our reasons for recommending that
seed ears be nubbed, which signifies the
removal of the ill shaped kernels at both
ends of the ears, are two-fold. First,
the butts of the ears very frequently
contain large, misshapen kernels caused,
perhaps, by the pressure of the husk at
this point, while the tips of the ears
often contain misshapen kernels, some of
which are frequently very small. If
such kernels be included with the seed
no corn planter will drop it evenly. This
reason in itself is quite sufficient to
warrant the discarding of such kernels,
as an even stand is of much importance
in obtaining a good yield.

Second, we have conducted experiments
which have demonstrated that the plant-
ing of these small and ill-shaped ker-
nels results in a crop containing a greater
per cent of feeble and unproductive
stalks. In demonstrating this the ker-
nels from the two extremities of the ears
were planted in one patch and in the
adjoining patch the well-shaped kernels
from the middle portions of the same
ears were planted. Counts of the stalks
and estimates as to the per cent of feeble
and unproductive stalks was much in
favor of the patch planted with the well
shaped kernels.

These results were perhaps due to the
small and weak kernels, which were
found to the greatest extent at the apex
of the ears. At this part of the ear
there are often kernels So very small
and poorly developed that if they ger-
minate at all they are sure to produce
weak plants.

There have been experiments conduct-
ed in Ohio, Kansas and Georgia com-
paring the kernels from the apecal third,
the middle third and the butt third of
seed ears. Such experiments have shown
for the most part that there is very
little difference regarding these portions
of the ear.

This, however, is not contradictory to
the recommendations given regarding the
discarding of the small and poorly shaped
kernels at the extremities of the ears.
If the parentage of the kernels be iden-
tical we believe that the location of the
kernels on the cob is a matter of no im-
portance, providing the kernels are
equally mature and equally well de-
veloped. As the kernels on the butts of
the ears are the first to form, it may
often happen that the kernels at the
tips of the ears are less matured and
may be injured by weather conditions
that do not so seriously affect the more
mature kernels at the butt portions of
the ears.

OBITUARY.

Httgh Dickson.

We regret to learn of the death of
Mr. Hugh Dickson, of the Eoyal
Nurseries, Belfast, Ireland, on May 5,
at the age of 70. Mr. Dickson has b«en
in delicate health for the past twelve
months, but continued to attend to his
duties to the last. He was in the nur-
series, giving some directions to one of
his employes, when he fainted without
warning. The doctor was summoned,
but within five minutes he breathed his
last. The cause was pronounced to be
heart failure.

Mr. Dickson was an enthusiastic ros-
arian, and sent his roses to the leading
shows, not only in Ireland, but to Eng-
land and Scotland, where he secured
many triumphs. He was also well known
to the fraternity. His daintily gotten
up rose catalogue for 1903 contained a
colored plate of a new hybrid perpetual
rose named Hugh Dickson, which is
claimed to be the most valuable addi-
tion that has been made to the class
for many years. The cupped blooms
are of a brilliant crimson shaded with
scarlet, and open well in all weathers.
This will now serve to perpetuate his
memory. — Gardening World.

AMERICAN ASSOCUTION OF NURSERYMEN.

_Pre8^. W. Hale, Knoxvllle.Tenn.: Vice-Pres.,
V. A. Weber, St. Louis ; Sec'y, Geo. C. Seagrer,
Rochester, N. Y.; Treas., C. L.. Yates, Rochester,
N. Y. The twenty-elgrhth annual convention
Will be held at Atlanta, Ga., June. 19M.

Jas. M. Burch, for many years pro-
prietor of the King Nursery, Stanford,
Ind., died May 8, of pneumonia after
only four days' illness.

The Great Western Eailway has or-
dered large quantities of evergreens from
nurseries in Iowa and will plant them
along the right of way as snowbreaks.

The American Peony Society will hold
its annjial meeting in (.-onnectioii with
the exhibition of the New York Horti-
cultural Society June 8 to 9, at Bronx
Park Botanic Garden.

G. H. HUBER, the nursery agent of
Petoskey, Mich., has sold seventeen car
loads of stock this spring. The princi-
pal item is 68,000 peach trees. It has
all been planted in northern Michigan.

E. 8. Welch, Shenandoah, la., writes:
"Our season's business has been up to
expectations in most lines and shows a
satisfactory increase over last year, be-
sides cleaning up closer. Almost every-
thing being in storage and with our ex-
ceptional shipping facilities, side track
and electric lighted buildings we were
able to handle all shipments promptly
in any kind of weather. Our trade on
ornamentals continues to improve and we
are planting still heavier for the future.
Have made our usual large plant in
other lines. Trade for next year is
promising and prospects are good in this
section for a large fruit crop. Our sur-
plus this spring was mostly small grade
fruit trees. The shipping season has
continued very late on account of the
backward spring."

AUGUSTA, GA.

The past season has been a very satis-
factory one with the nurserymen and
florists in this section. The demand for
hardy ornamentals is largely on the in-
crease. The demand for bedding plant'
has been gradually falling off for sev-
eral years, as the majority of the people
desire hardy shrubs. In this congenial
climate we have an immense lot of these
plants, and by judicipus selections, quan-
tities of bloom can be had from Marcb
until November. The demand for bulbs,
such as hyacinths, narcissi and tulips,
is growing rapidly. The cut flower busi-
ness is growing, and good stock brings
remunerative prices, roses, carnations,
chrysanthemums and violets being the
leaders in the order named. Palms,
fancy-leaved caladiums and grafted or-
anges are in good demand. Cannas have
had their day. All nursery stoek is prettv
well eleane<l up. but many nurserymen
were caught late in the season on
peaches; there was an over-production
and many orders were countermanded ;
some buyers lost their heads and over-
bought. This promises to be a great
year for the peach orchards in Georgia.
This state tvill break it's record this
year. The peach crop is estimated at
3,000 cars; that will mean some lively
hustling during June and July.

BUTTED GLASS.

I see a query froqi a glazier who wants
to know how much putty will be required
in bedding 12,000 feet of butted glass.
14x16. The answer to this is given in
a contemporary at 400 pounds, with some
variations according to quality of glass,
care in work, etc. Now I really believe,
although it is no business of mine, that
the honorable professor who answered the
question has had no experience with
butted glass, else his emphatic reply
would have been: "If you intend to
butt your glass you do not need an ounce
of putty." I don't want to defend
butted glass, although there are many
largo and very successful places which
use no other method. I would only wish
to say now that I don't like to see any
brother florist or beginner so misled.
Butted glass laid in putty is a horrible
and dismal failure. You are destroying
the several principles of merit and ad-
vantage which butted glass, when cor-
rectly laid, possesses. Banish putty or
lap your glass. W. S.

CHRYSANTHEMUM SOCIETY.

White Maud Dean.

The advertisements and notices con-
cerning the variety White Maud Dean
now appearing in the trade papers, bring
to mind the fact that on November 26,
1898, John Lewis Childs, of Floral Park,
N. Y., exhibited the Chrysanthemum
White Maud Dean before the New York
committee of the C. S. A. and the variety
scored eighty-five points. It was de-
scribed as a ^port from Maud Dean,
white with occasional pink shadings, and
was granted certificate No. 164.

The white sport from Maud Dean now
being oflfered to the trade may be a va-
riety entirely distinct from the one
shown by John Lewis Childs, in 1898,
but the new sport has never been placed
before a committee of the C. S. A.,
hence it is impossible to say whether or
not thfey are identical.

NEW ORLEANS.

The Horticultural Society, in monthly
session May 19, decided on July 13 and
14 as the days for its annual outing,
which this year will take place in Mande*
ville. Routine business was transacted at
the meeting and there was an interesting
discussion on various flowers. The ex-
hibit proved the meeting's feature. There
were pot plants from E. Valdejo, Abele
Bros., Richard Eichling and U. J. Virgin,
and cut flowers from J. A. Newsham.
The prize for the best plant was awarded
to E. Valdejo, whose exhibit was a hand-
some gloxinia. .

In the absence of President Joseph
Steckler, Vice-President Eichling pre-
sided. Plans for the annual outing were
discussed and an appropriation of $2.50
per member was made to defray the ex-
penses of the trip.

A communication from Dan Newsham.
in charge of the I^uisiana 's horticultural
exhibition at the World's Fair was read.
Mr. Newsham declared Louisiana's ex-
hibit the best at the fair.

Paul Abele, of Abele Bros., who leaves
for Europe in a few days, invited the
members of the society to be present at
his home May 22, when he was the host
at a farewell reception.

Columbus, O.— F. C. Wetherby has
sold out to Jess Delashmutt.

Babylon, N. Y. — L. A. Martin is now
with A. Wagstaff here. He was until
recently with W. H. S. Wood, Green-
wich, Conn.

Alvin, Tf:x. — The cape jasmine sea-
son is on in full force, the crop being
the largest in years and the buds extra
fine. A great many large orders have
been booked for Decoration day and are
now mostly on the way. Some dealers
pack in market baskets covered with bur-
lap and others use berry crates. One
good attribute of the jasmine is that
the buds will keep in salable condition
for a considerable time if cut at the
proper stage..

Steeling, III. — Albert Lundstrom, of
Oconomowoc, Wis., has purchased the
greenhouse plant and business of F. A.
Belt. Mr. Lundstrom will take posses-
sion June 1. He has had a life long ex-
perience in the business and for some
time had charge of the John Dupee estate
at Oconomowoc. He proposes to con-
siderably add to the Belt establishment
and will also force vegetables for the
winter market. Mr. Belt, whose health is
poor, will remove to Prophetstown, HI.

PIPING FOR HOT WATER.

I have been heating with steam but
want to use hot water. There is one
house 22x100, even-span, one gable glass,
side walls four feet high, double board-
ed with building paper between; two
benches three feet wide, one on each
side and two five and one-half feet wide
in the middle. The other house in lox
70, with three benches. The top of the
boiler is just below the level of the
ground. What piping will be necessary?

F. S. W.

If hot water 'under pressure is used,
the house 22x100 feet, should be pro-
vided with a 3-inch riser running under
the ridge to the far end of the house
and there dividing to supply twelve 2-
inch returns arranged under the benches.
The highest point in the flow pipe
sJiould be at the farthest point from the
boiler and the returns under the benches
should have a drop of eight to twelve
inches in the length of the house. The
bouse 15x70 feet, will require a 2-inch
riper under the ridge and eight 2-inch
returns arranged under the benches.

Heavy Hail Does Great Damage.

The heaviest hailstorm on record visited
this place May 20 and the greenhouse
glass Was practically all broken, with
great damage to the stock belovr. Most
of the glass will be paid for by the Hail
Association, but of course there was no
insurance on the stock.

At J. O. Zimmerman's the loss is esti-
mated at something like $4,000. About
ninety per cent of the 11,000 square feet
of glass was broken. The work of the
storm was more disastrous on the west
and north sides.

The greenhouses owned by Mrs. Ida M.
Latshaw suffered to the extent of $1,500.
Four whole panes of glass remain out of
2,000 square feet. The stock was almost
totally destroyed.

Wallace & McMurray suffered a loss of
about $2,000. The area of glass at then
houses in East Pueblo, about 5,000 square
feet, was wholly destroyed and the stock
suffered heavily.

At Fleischer's the hail smashed glass
to the amount of 14,000 square feet. The
house was filled with pot plants, and ail
these were practically destroyed. Beyond
the woodwork of the greenhouse nothing
was left, the ruin being complete.

The greenhouses of J. J. Thomas suf-
fered the same fate as all others in the
city. All the glass was broken and the
plants were destroyed. The Thatcher
greenhouses, as well as other private hot-
houses, were destroyed, and but little of
the stock was saved.

CATALOGUES RECEIVED.

The Leach Insecticide Co., of Balti-
more, sends us a pamphlet containing
details with regard to their insecticide
and fungicide now being put on the
market under the name of Webcide.
Formulas are given for the use of the
preparation «n a large number of insect
pests, also fungous diseases, including
work m both the garden and greenhouse.
The pamphlet also contains letters from
a number of men well known in the flor-
ist and nursery trades.

The new catalogue of the Dillon Green-
house Manufacturing Co., Bloomsburg,
Fa., shows the ordinary styles of con-
struction, also the company's composi-
tion posts and gutter plates and patented
sub-watenng beds.

THE CHRYSANTHEMUM MANUAL.

Chrysanthemum growers will find
"Smith's Chrysanthemum Manual." hv
Elmer D. Smith, a very practical and
helpful little book.

In its pages every phase of chrysan-
themum culture is thoroughly covered^ in
a practical way, the phraseology being
so simple and clear that ^ the amateur
may profit by it as well as the profes-
sional. It i.s a valuable addition to our
trade literature, and the low price of
LM cents (in paper covers) at which it
can be supplied postpaic^ by the Keview,
brings it within the reach of everyone.
The scope of the work is well shown
by the titles of the leading chapters,
which are: History, Stock Plants, Pro-
pagation, Specimen Plants, Packing
Plants, Exhibition Blooms, Commercial
Flowers, Insects, Diseases, Seedlings and
Sports, Preparing Exhibits, Exhibitions,
Types, etc. There are eighteen good il-
lustrations.

Shenaxeoah, Ia. — Not long since the
O. B. Stevens greenhouse property was
severely damaged by fire, but they are
in good shape again and the business for
^fay has been very satisfactory.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

May 26. 1904.

KEROSENE EMULSION.

All soft bodied insects in the green-
house may be successfully fought with
what is known as the kerosene emulsion.
It consists of one-half pound hard soap
shaved fine, one gallon water and two
gallons kerosene. Dissolve the soap in
the water, which should be boiling. Re-
move this from the fire and pour it
into the kerosene while still hot. Mix
by churning, with a spray pump if you
have one at hand, until it changes to a
creamy and finally, a soft, butter-like
mass. This stock will keep indefinitely.
For use add one part of the stock prep-
aration to from ten to thirty times as
much water. As many plants will be
affected differently by the spray it is
best to begin with the weak solution.

PROGRESS IN HORTICULTURE.

I never look over one of these extensive
glass-roofed gardens — like Rochford's at
Old Turnford — without saying to myself
that the demands of Covent Garden and
other large markets have led to some
of the most remarkable phases of horti-
cultural perfection, both practical and
economic, ever seen in British horticul-
ture. We all know the dictum of Adam
Smith, who, in writing his celebrated
** Wealth of Nations" in 1776, said mar-
ket gardening was a poor calling be-
cause nearly all persons able to pur-
chase garden produce were also able to
grow their own supplies. This was
probably quite true at the time, but
the growth of large towns and manu-
factures, the increase of population, etc.,
have altered things, and to-day, not only
is there a good open market for edible
garden produce grown in England, but
for imported fruit, vegetables, and flow-
ers to the annual value of many millions
of pounds as well-

One very patent sign of progress now-
adays consists in the specialization going
on, especially in trade or market gar-
dening. Some, indeed, many, of our
best cultivators are specialists in the best
sense of the word. It is easier and
cheaper to grow a house full of one
thing than a house full of many things.
One man becomes famous for grapes or
peaches, and another for rhubarb and
seakale, or asparagus, or even mush-
rooms; another grower takes up carna-
tions or roses, palms or ferns; and we
have even specialists devoted to lily of
the valley who can supply flowers of it
practically every day in the year. We
have tomato, potato, sweet pea, and daf-
fodil specialists, and these men are bound
to surpass growers who divide their capi
tal and attention among too many sepa-
rate things. The word specialist spells
progress.-— Gardeners ' Magazine.

BuCKSPORT, Me. — On the morning of
May 12 fire did great damage to the
greenhouses of Buckley & Preble. The
blaze originated about a temporary heat-
ing apparatus. Two carnation houses,
one 115 feet long, the other 125, were
completely destroyed and a rose house
sixty-six feet long was badly tbqrned.
To restore the plant will cost $3^500
and in addition there was the loss on
stock just at a time when prospects for
a profit were brightest. There was in-
surance to the amount of a few hun-
dred dollars. Property adjoining the
greenhouses caught from the fire, so that
the blaze was the most disastrous the
town has seen in some years.

Covington, Ky. — John Gillespie, a
florist, became weary and lay down be-
side the railroad track. A spark from
a passing engine set fire to his clothing
and he was seriously burned.

I have grlven To-BAK-INE a thorough trial and find It a very satisfactory insecticide. So much so that I am using nothing
else in my greenhouse since I found out its great merits. I consider it cheaper than any preparation of tobacco that I
have any knowledge of, because it does such thorough work that it is not necessary to use it very often.— EIEN E. REXFOID.

The Market.

During the last week or ten days the
weather has been anything but favor-
able. I'^osts at night, cold, wet, dreary
days have had the eflfect of retarding
spring growth so much that but little
bedding stock has been moved thus far.
In this locality it is generally consid-
ered that the bulk of the bedding trade
is done by June 1, but this year, from
present prospects, it will just be nicely
commenced.

In the cut flower business, trade has
been fairly good, and although the quan-
tity of roses, carnations and other cut
flowers was large, yet the demand at
most times seemed quite equal to it. The
Ontario Jockey Club races have opened
and this usually makes quite a demand
for the Ijetter class of flowers, such as
American Beauties, go()<l roses and first
quality carnations.

Various Notes.

We understand that W. J. Lawrence
is thinking seriously of selling his re-
tail store and going into growing and
wholesaling entirely.

Harry Jennings paid us a flying visit
this week. He informs us that he is
leaving Ixjndon and is going into a new
range of houses that is beinj; built in
Berlin.

Mat 26, 1904.

ONONNATI.

The Market.

We are now having regular summer
weather and when one considers that for
four or five days last week the thermome-
ter sank dangerously near the freezing
point, it is quite a change. All kinds of
flowers have very much of a midsummer
aspect. Carnations are smaller and roses
of poor quality. Beauties are holding
out well. Other red roses are scarce.
The supply of other varieties is large
but as there is a pretty fair demand the
majority of them are sold at some price.
The few cold and dark days have cut
down the supply of carnations greatly
and there are scarcely enough to fill or-
ders. The price has advanced many
points also. Sweet peas have been sell-
ing very well. Outdoor valley is in and
some of it very good; it brings from 50
cents to $2 per hundred. A few new
ferns are coming in from the south, but
they are still too soft to be of much use.

Various Notes.

The planting season is now on in full
force and it is proving to be first class.
Many of the growers have as much as
they can do taking oaxe of their orders
ifi this department, so they are rather
neglecting their cut flowers, which have
not been very profitable of late.

The general demand was much better
this week than last and with Decoration
day but a few days off every one is feel-
ing in a better humor. There is scarcely
a doubt but that flowers will be scarce
then and prices rule correspondingly
high.

Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Critchell are in
the city. Charlie has severed his con-
nection with the Atlanta Floral Co., of
Atlanta, Ga., and is at present spending
a few days visiting the home folks and
his many friends.

Miss Roberts, of Springfield, O., is
here to make a study of the retail busi-
ness. She will presently take the place
in a Springfield store recently left va-
cant by the marriage of Miss Alice
Barnes.

THE VACANT CHAIR.

The accompanying illustration is from

chair made for the obsequies of the

Baum, the artist being Miss Minnie
Baum. The piece w^as three feet eight
inches high and broad in proportion. Th*

COLOR HINTS. -IL

Shade and Tint.

In our last talk on color we discussed
how to harmonize different colors and
combinations of colors. This time wei
shall attempt to show how a color can
find itself. There are two terms to be
employed today, which should be well
understood at the start. They are
"shade" and "tint." By the word
shade is meant the darkest, or one of
the darker tones of any one color. By
the word tint is meant the lightest or
one of the lighter tones of the color.
To better understand this, get out the
color box again. Take, for example, a
red. To find a shade of this color, mix
it with black, and as you add more
black, the red will become fainter, and
the result of the mixture will be a darker
red each time. These are the shades of
the red with which we started. Now
start again with a little of the pure
red. Dilute it or mix it with white, and
as you mix more white the color result-
ing from the mixture will become lighter
and lighter, until finally you get a deli-
cate pink. These light colors are the
tints of the red. We see that the red
runs all through from the darkest shades
to the lightest tints.

In our last study we found that thera
must be some one color common to two
or more flowers in order to make a har-
monious combination. The same prin-
. ciple differently applied governs the use
of tints and shades. Follow it out, and
you will come upon many beautiful and
rare combinations, which will make novel
and catchy ideas. People will say, "I
am tired of pink and white; suggest
some other combination." Be able to
demonstrate to them that a dark crim-
son and a delicate pink make a beauti-
ful and artistic combination. The darker
the red and the more delicate the pink,
the richer and softer is the harmony.
To illustrate: Take a cluster of Lib-
erty roses and introduce to the group a
few Golden Gates. In all the realm of
color you can never find a finer combina-
tion. Another illustration of the same
principle can be seen in the combination
of Maceo and Morning Glory carna-
tions. It is pleasing to the eye because
there is a union and an easy blending of
the same line of color from the shade
to the tint as we see it discover itself.

Adding Intermediate Tones. '

After some practice in this line you

may introduce an intermediate tone or
two, as when in using the Liberty and
Golden Gate roses, some of the lighter
Bridesmaid roses may be added to the
group with good effect, for the coloring
in the Bridesmaid rose is one of the
tints of the red found in the Liberty.

All so-called white flowers have a tint
or a trace of some color. It may be yel-
low, green, violet, red or blue. Find a
rich dark color which to your eye is the

tions may be correctly used with flowers
of a soft creamy white tint. This law
of color harmony governs the use in
this last combination also. Brilliant and
trying magentas and purples are beauti-
ful with very delicate pink and lilac
tints: for example, Joost or Lawson
carnations with Prosperity. Try in this
line of coloring American Beauties and
white lilacs together. The more hid-
den the common or connecting color is,
the more delicate and fascinating is
the picture. In other words, the darker
the shade and the lighter the tint, the
finer is the color work.

Among other questions that are apt
to occur in this connection is, how many
colors is it safe to use together? It
is quite a fad nowadays among peo-
ple who consider themselves qualified to
dictate to the public taste to limit the
amount of coloring to be used in a Clus-
ter or vase of flowers. Some even de-

Vacant Chair for Funeral of Mayor of Knoxville, Tenn,

shade corresponding to the tint found
in this particular flower, and combine
the two. Violets and white lilacs in a
cluster well illustrate this point. In this
combination purple in tint and shade is
the one color. A brilliant yellow or
orange in such flowers as chrysanthe-
mums, zinnias, marigolds and others
which are trying colors in most situa-

clare that it is poor taste to use more
than one color. But I fail to see the
reasonableness of this opinion. Nature
blends many colors in one scheme. A
flower of a pure, that is, unmixed color,
is as rare as a vacuum. Use as many
colors as you can blend. This rule will
work both ways. If you have at hand
two colors between which you can see

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

June 2, 1904.

no connection, don't attempt to com-
bine them. If you have a dozen colors
and can thoroughly establish the har-
mony, use them all, the critics to the
contrary notwithstanding. Of course,
common sense and the everlasting fitness
of things must be given due considera-
tion, but don 't be afraid to do and dare
what you have seen nobody else do.

To Tone Down Brilliant Color.

Once upon a time we had an order
for a large standing cross, to be made
solid of dark crimson carnations, for the
funeral of an elderly man. Fortune
failed us in our efforts to get the right
color, and we were compelled to use
brilliant rose pink carnations. In order
to subdue the holiday appearance of the
design a veil of adiantums was thrown
over the entire piece. The effect was
soft and rich. Such flowers as Steyia
serrata, and other fine-cut, spray-like
racemes and panicles, are useful for just
such finishing touches. Elderberry blos-
soms and flowers of such nature and ap-
pearance are very desirable for this pur-
pose.

How to Proportion Color.

Above all things, avoid using equal
quantities of different colors together.
Make the proportions as unequal as pos-
sible. Have one color very much in ex-
cess, another one quite noticeable and
others barely suggested. To illustrate
this, take up almost any flower at hand.
Suppose it is a Bridesmaid rose. You
will find pink, yellow, green and pos-
sibly faint streaks of red in it, distrib-
uted in about this order: Very much pink,
blotches of yellow at the base of the
petals, relieved by a little green, and be-
traying the faintest traces of red along
the veins here and there. Almost any
other flower will follow out a distribu-
tion of color similar to this. Some will
have fewer colors, but more will have
many colors in irregular proportions.

The Use of YeUow.

There is one color common in some
form to every flower that has come under
my observation. That color is yellow.
We are too shy of its use with other
colors. Of course any yellow cannot be
used everywhere, nor can we find easily
yellows in common cultivation which may
be used correctly with the other ordi-
nary flower?. To find the yellow which
you desire to use with any one flower
examine the stamens or pistil found in
that flower. With a crimson rose like
the Liberty or Meteor there is a soft,
subdued, old gold yellow as seen in the
floral organs. If you do not find yellow
in these parts or in plain sight on the
petals or sepals, look down around the
base of the petals or in the markings
of some obscure part of the flowei.
Wherever found, the yellow which blends
most closely with the flower's own yel-
low is the best one to combine with it.

Yellow sheds the most light of any
color. Therefore, if you wish to brighten
a dark corner, use masses of yellow. To
have a yellow of any character at night,
select a deep color, as artificial hj
pales most yellows.

Much confusion results from different
ideas of one color name. Very few peo-
ple have the same idea of what any one
color term means, for instance, scarlet
or crimson. About the simplest and
easiest way to convey color meaning is
to describe a color by a variety of plant
or flower well known to the trade, as, for

example, everybody who knows the
Crane carnation, or America, can get a
good conception of what scarlet is, an.l
can see crimson most easily by looking
at a Liberty or Meteor rose. Be care-
ful never to confuse these two reds.
Scarlet and pink, however, delicate, must
never be used together, but crimson and
pink, as referred to above, make an ex-
cellent combination. There are varia-
tions and combinations which by and
by your eye will refuse, and gradually
your sense of color will develop, and

THE BEDDING PLANT TRADE.

The season for spring bedding ordin-
arily closes with Memorial day, but the
lateness of spring has this year re-
tarded outdoor work to such an extent
that in many sections it has little more
than begun and everywhere coni^idera-
ble work yet remains to be done. Re-
ports from all over the country are
unanimous in saying that the season
has been one of the best on record;

larger quantities of stock are being
used than ever before and at prices at
which there can be little complaint.
There is, of course, poor sale for rank
and scraggly geraniums, but well-
grown stock of the better bedding varie-
ties is moving rapidly everywhere. Al-
though the cry has often been made
that the vinca is being used too uni-
versally and that something should be
offered for variety, yet the people still
want the vinca, as is attested by the
fact that stocks of it were quickly
cleaned up in most places, and those
who have a surplus are finding a very
ready market through the medium of
the advertising columns of the Review.
Pansies have sold finely too and there
is a sale for every surplus lot. Al-
though the season is not yet at its end,
there are many sections of the coun-
try in which some, or several, items of
necessary stock are already exhausted.
Those who have worked up such large
supplies that they may feel some doubt
as to their ability to retail all their
stock, should take advantage of the op-
portunity to find a buyer for their sur-
plus before the season is too far ad-
vanced. Advertising in the Review will
find a Duyer for all kinds of good stock
offered at a reasonable price.

Decoration Day.

This is Decoration day and others are
doing the work. The earth, the trees and
the little carnation plants, recently put
into the field are being decorated and re-
freshed by a gentle rain. Perhaps it is
only local. We hope so, for welcome as
is this warm rain it will disappoint mil-
lions who looked forward to the day and
make a damp march for the fast dwin-
dling ranks of the heroes of Gettysburg
and Antietam.

We have been cutting a fine lot of lilac
blooms from young bushes three to five
feet high ; that is their pruning. And be-
sides the lilac there are the snowballs.
Pyrus Japonica, forsythea and African
tamarix will soon be out of flower and
if you have large bushes and want to
keep them from occupying more space
now is the time to shorten back the
growths that bore the flowers. In the
case of the tamarix cut them right down
as you would a willow. The strong
growth they quickly make is most
ornamental. If not cut down they
soon become bare, straggling, unsightly
bushes.

Begonias.

The very important winter plant. Be-
gonia Gloire de Lorraine, will soon be
needing close attention. Those plants
propagated from leaves last winter, as
well as the plants that you reserved for
stock. Will begin to grow actively the com-
ing month. Little plants with two or
three shoots will make very large plants
for next winter. Old plants sending up
young growths will give you cuttings
that, if propagated, will make most use-
ful plants. This beautiful begonia, as is
well known, is a true hybrid. It is a cross

between two species. If not a direct
cross between two species, then varieties
of two species, and that is why it is pe-
culiar and difficult to manage. It does
not enjoy our hot summer, as is proved
by its making its most rapid and vigor-
ous growth after the middle of Septem-
ber on to New Year's.

With the exception of the Rex bego-
nias, to propagate which by the leaf it is
necessary, in the fall months, to have a
good bottom heat in the sand, all the be-
gonias root well in the summer months
without any fire heat. Keep them shaded
during the day and moderately moist in
the sand and Gloire de Lorraine and all
the other begonias will root freely.

This is an opportune moment to speak
of the condition of the propagating bed,
for it is by no means out of use just now.
When the chrysanthemum renaissance be-
gan some fifteen years ago we thought it
necessary, in propagating them in June
or July, and for which there are several
uses, that we must put up a mild hot-bed
in which to strike them. We did not know
then that the chrysanthemum, as well as
the poinsettia, would root in the sand in
the propagating bench as well, if not as
quickly, in July as in March, if you
only keep them soaked and shaded from
bright sunshine. By soaked I mean a
thorough watering of the sand morning
and evening on every warm, bright day
and every morning whatever the weather.

To return to the begonias, not only is
this a time to begin active work on the
Lorraine, but on the many species and
varieties which can be almost called
shrubby. Metallica we will take as a
type and the varieties and forms are now
without number. They are not a very
important class of plants, either as cut

flowers or as a florists' pot plant and yet
in private greenhouses or as a window
plant there is no genus of plants that
surpasses them for continued beauty and
interest. I have never discovered that the
begonia was particular about soil, yet if
I were catering to Gloire de Lorraine I
should choose a fresh, rather light loam
with one-fifth of well rotted stable man-
ure, one-fifth leaf -mold to three-fifths of
the loam. Begonias are all natives of a
tropical or sub-tropical clime, where the
bright sun shines on them. So don't
subject them to a dense shade while they
are occupying but a limited space on the
bench. Shade them when jiecessary but
morning, evening and on dull days give
them unobstructed daylight.

-The Problem of Bench Material

I feel sure there are at least a
thousand florists in the country who are,
or will be in a fow days, worrying over
the question of new benches or beds for
their carnations and roses, as well as
repairing the benches that are used for
plants. We can dismiss the plant benches
quickly by simply saying that for all
our small plants, our bedding plants and
our Easter plants there is nothing so
convenient as the bench some two feet
above the ground. Of what to construct
these benches is of great importance. I
am confident that a coming generation
will look back at us and smile and pity
us for building benches of quick-rotting
wood that had to be renewed every three
or four years. The benches of the future
will be of iron and tile or cement.

A Survey of the Past,

This is such a large subject that one
scarcely knows where to begin. To be
reminiscent a moment, many of us can
remember when the only roses to be had
in winter were Lamarque, Marechal Niel
or beautiful old Solfaterre. Then Sa-
frano, Isabella Sprunt and a few other
tea roses began to be grown in pots.
Then came planting them on beds of a
foot or more of soil. Next some genius
discovered that a bench that sloped to the
south about the same pitch as the roof,
or about eighteen inches in six feet, was
the correct thing. Then John N. May
and other good thinkers found that four
inches of soil was all that was necessary
to produce the finest roses, and the great
majority of rose and carnation growers
have not made any radical change from
the shallow raised bench for a number
of years. Where the house is a de-
tached three-quarter-span some twenty
feet wide you could not very well have
any other system than the raised bench.

I have briefly reviewed the evolution
and changes that have taken place in
thirty years in a most important part of
our business merely to attempt to show
that progress and change may be ahead
of us, as we have emerged from it. Evo-
lution, progress and improvement must
and do go on in all spheres of life and
industry, theology included.

So in building benches for roses or
carnations, it is a question whether
it is wise to put up too costly a struc-
ture, for if you are anywise of a pro-
gressive kind yoa may in two years be
altering your methods and adopting a
style of bench that you saw over at
"old Bill Jones', who had some gol darn
fine stuff"." Leaving these soil benches
for a moment, we must admit that for
our ordinary class of plants in pots there
lias been no change in style of bench.

No Pipes Overhead.

1 don't want to drag in that moment-

Phalaenopsis Amabilis Grown by Dr. R. Scfiiffmann, St. Patsl, Minn.

ous question of heating in these notes,
but I will say that imder benches devoted
to pot plants, particularly soft-wooded
plants, it is of the greatest benefit to
have two or three pipes, either hot
water or steam. The man who advo-
cates any hot water or steam pipes above
the plants or near the ridge pole is suf-
fering from paresis. The very best rose
grower the writer has ever known, al-
though only growing five or six houses,
told me, while looking around at his
wonderful Bridesmaids, that he would
not have any pipes beneath his benches.
He would consider it a real detriment,
and I most cordially agree with him.
The temperature of the soil is that of
the atmosphere and that is enough. Re-
member you are not forcing these roses
and carnations, you are simply partially
reversing their season of blooming. We
truly force lily of the valley, tulips,
scakale and rhubarb, known in the west-
ern hemisphere as pie plant, but we don't
force these roses and carnations that
are a staple of our industry.

Bottom Heat Often a Benefit.

Pipes beneath the bench are not an
absolute essential but many of our suc-
culent plants, such as geraniums and be-
gonias, are greatly benefited by a little
warmth from the boards. It is not so
much heat that is good to them aa dry-
ness. More especially is this the case
in the spring, when little fire is needed
and yet some is wanted to keep out the
dampness. With the exception of palms
and some few other large plants, I see
no likely change from the ordinary bench
that is, and has been, used for many
years and if you are sure that you will
never convert this or that house into
any other use than growing plants in
pots, then it will pay you splendid in-
terest to build a bench that will last as
long as you will last, or your son-in-law
included.

An Ideal Bench.

First cost is, of course, the great con-
sideration. Something cheap that will
last a few years "till I can afford to
build better" is the excuse. The neatest,
most substantial and consequently the
most durable bench I have lately seen
was at George Urban's, at Pine Ridge, N.
Y. Cost was of I no great consideration,
but you will generally notice that

wealthy men are continually encourag-
ing and making money by buying at
wholesale, building substantially and
looking into the future. This bench had
for legs 4-inch vitrified sewer pipe, rest-
ing on a brick or flat stone. The pipe,
socket ujt was filled with a cheap con-
crete, four parts of sifted ashes to one
of cement. On the tile rested a tee iron,
running lengthwise of the bench and on
the iron were tiles 24x18. The tile was
about one and a half inches thick. To
make the bench a complete success there
was an edge of concrete two inches thick
at the bench, tapering to one inch. Now
there is a bench which will outlast the
roof and it is not so costly after all. If
there is a tileyard in your neighborhood
you will find that they are very pleased
to make any pattern of tile or hollow
brick that you desire, only give them the
pattern.

Cypress the Besft Wood.

After all, there will be more wooden
benches built and repaired than others,
and what are you going to use for ma-
terial? White pine that once covered
the great state of Michigan, is now pro-
hibitive in price and quickly decays.
Hemlock that once clothed the slopes of
our Alleghany mountains, is like the
American bison, fast disappearing from
the face of the earth, and a few men own
the good timber now standing and, with
the help of a high tariff known as "pro-
tection to American labor," these few
individuals have jumped the price of
hemlock within six years from $10 to
$19 per 1,000 feet. I have yet to learn
that the man who chopped the tree or
sawed it into boards has received a pro-
portionate increase in wages. Perhaps
his house rent and flour and coal have
gone up. So the poor fellow thinks we
are having prosperous times. Canada has
plenty of pine and tamarix, the Ameri-
can larch, which is a grand article for
our purpose, closely resembling our
southern cypress. Both are deciduous
conifers.

Cypress is a great boon to we florists.
It seems indestructible except by fire.
Our greenhouse structural firmsi, of
which there are now many, all seem
to be conscientious, good people and send
out only pure and unadulterated quality.

must be any amount of second quality
stuff in cutting up these logs that can
be bought as cheaply as our fast rotting
white pine or hemlock, and the cypress
■will outlast the former seven times. You
will notice in your benches, when repair-
ing, that it is where the plank or board
lay on your crosspiece or joist that the
rotting took place. Of all processes to
rot wood, our use of it as benches is
the most successful.

I have proved that a heavy coating of
new board with hydraulic cement will
add two or three years to the use of the
soft hemlock or pine. This costs com-
paratively nothing. Just mix the pure
cement in a pail with enough water so
that it can be spread or smeared over
the boards with a brush. Where wood
lies on wood is where the decay begins,
and ends with a board falling down and
taking down with it a dozen carnations
or twenty 4-inch geraniums. With this
cement, plaster the top of the crosspiece,
the 2x6 that is to support your boards,
and be sure to put a. heavy lot of cement
on the underside of the board where it
lies on the crosspiece.

Beds Versus Benches.

Next week, if I am spared, as devout
people of the last century used to say, I
want to illuminate some ideas that are
revolving in my coco anent benches ver-
sus beds on the ground, etc. The great
majority of houses built for the past
twenty- five years, up to within two or
three years ago, were not intended, nor
can they be used, with beds near the
groimd surface, but nowadays immense
ranges of glass are erected especially de-
signed for these low beds, and depend

THE WEILAND ESTABLISHMENT.

Few young men have had a fairer
start in the trade than has been the
good fortune of Peter Weiland, son of
M. Weiland, of Evanston, 111., and neph-
ew of Peter Reinberg, with whom he has
until recently been in partnership at the
plant at New Castle, Ind. Mr. Weiland
was 27 years of age only last Saturday
and yesterday came into full control of
the greenhouses shown in the accompa-
nying illustrations, the deal for the pur-
chase having been made last fall. To
sell the product, which has heretofore
gone to Chicago, Mr. Weiland has opened
a wholesale store at 128 East Third
street in Cincinnati, where it is his aim
to do a shipping business. He has ten
houses, 30x300, covering a space of 90,-
000 square feet. The space is now all
in roses, except some benches of aspara-
gus and sweet peas, but next season
there will be two houses of carnations--
and two benches of smilax and aspara-
gus, leaving seven and one-half houses
for roses, principally Beauties, Brides
and Maids. As shown in one of the ac-
companying illustrations, there is a big
field of peonies on the place, about 4,000
plants, which will give a big cut this
month.

TEMPERATURE FOR CARNATIONa

I have three connected houses, 30x75
feet, the grade of the land being a sharp
slope. As there are no partition walls,
the upper house runs 8 to 10 degrees
warmer than the lower one. I expect to
grow Lawson, Lord, Crocker, Joost, Har-
lowarden, Adonis, Crane, Hill and Queen
Louise. At least these are the kinds I

upon it, that is the system that is com-
ing to stay.

In conclusion, if you have to use wood-
en benches, buy cypress. Noah's Ark
was made of cypress and a piece of it
can still be seen at the foot of Mt.
Ararat. It is a piece of the partition
that separated the giraffe from the
skunk and the giraffe's curiosity to know
where the odor came from was the cause
of his neck growing so long.

have propagated and planted in the field.
And I want to try some of the new
ones on a small scale, as I never want to
be behind the other fellows. I have
solid beds and would like to know what
varieties to plant on the cold side and
on the warm side. H. G. F.

I believe the best thing you can do is
to put some kind of a partition between
either the two lower houses or between
the upper two. The difference in the tem-
perature between the lower and the upper
houses is too great. If you keep the
coldest house up to 48 to 50 degrees
it would run the warmest house up
close to 60 degrees, which is too warm

for any carnation I know of. By
having only two connected there would
be a difference of perhaps 6 degrees,
which would be all right. The separate
house you could then keep at whatever
temperature you wished. In deciding
where to put the partition, you should
bear in mind where you will add on when
you build some more. If you expect to
add on at the upper side, I would have
the lower two open, or the reverse in
case you will add at the bottom.

The varieties you name will need about
the following temperatures, and you wilJ
have no trouble in planting them in the
temperatures they want: Lawson and
Crocker, 56 degrees; Mrs. Joost and
Flora Hill, 54; the others, 50 to 52, with
Adonis and Queen Louise at the warmer
end. A. F. J. Baur.

ROSES.

Culture for Meteor.

That red roses still command a ready
and profitable market is evidenced by
the many efforts to grow that erratic
favorite. Liberty. That this gem can
be grown profitably is an established
fact, as several growers have during
the past season apparently solved the
problem. Many growers of good repute,
however, have failed in getting profitable
returns from this variety, and are hunt-
ing for some reliable red rose that can
be grown in Bridesmaid temperature.
A good red that will succeed under these
conditions will fill a long felt want.

The new rose. General MacArthur,
which is now being put on the market,
is recommended to fill just such a want,
but as the price is rather steep for the
ordinary grower and the risks too great
to warrant large plantations this year,
the majority of us will still have to
depend on Meteor for our red crops for
at least the coming season. The great-
est drawback to this rose as felt by the
smaller growers is that it requires for
its successful culture conditions pecu-
liar to itself, which cannot be obtained
in a house where other roses are grown.
Requiring a much higher temperature
than other standard sorts, and more
moisture, both in the atmosphere and at
the roots, to obtain the best results a
house must be entirely devoted to it.

Planting early to give it the full ben-
efit of the growing season is also advan-
tageous, so that by the time for begin-
ning to take the crop the plants may he
large and stocky. If it is well handled
during the winter every shoot will pro-
duce a bloom and the cutting of these
will prevent the plant from increasing
very much in size during these months.

As they require copious supplies of
water during the growing season and,
indeed, at all times requiring more wa-
ter than the ordinary rose crops, extra
drainage ought to be provided. More
frequent cultivation will also be nec-
essary to keep the surface of the soil
open and porous. Spider being one of
its most persistent enemies, careful
watching will be absolutely necessary to
secure success, as the higher tempera-
ture to which it is exposed is very con-
ducive to the rapid reproductio<h of
these pests. The peculiar hump-backed
shape of the mature leaves makes it
difficult to reach the under sides of these
and renders watchfulness all the more
necessary, for if spider once secures a
good foothold in a Meteor house the
work of eradicating it, or even keeping

it in subjectionj ia harder and more ex-
acting than that demanded by any other
variety.

The minimum temperature to which
this rose can be exposed without retard-
ing or injuring it during the growing
season is about 62 degrees and if there
is any danger of the temperature falling
below this firing should be resorted to
at once. The maximum during sunshine
can approach the 100 degree mark, if
there is suflBcient moisture in the house.

In order to secure plenty of flower
bearing buds disbudding will have to
be strictly attended to. This, as prac-
ticed by the best growers of this variety,
consists in cutting off the bud with
about the half of the flower stem at-
tached, leaving not more than three or
four well developed leaves on the stem,
every bud from which will under ordi-
nary cultural rules develop into a flower
bearing stem. Ribes.

CHRYSANTHEMUMS.

Cuttings.

Plants intended to produce late flow-
ers may still be propagated, though it
is not so easy to strike them now that
the weather is warm. One must be care-
ful to see that the cuttings are well
shaded and the ventilators rather close,
for a drying wind is as bad as, or worse
than sunlight. The cuttings must be
kept from wilting by being frequently
sprayed and copiously watered. If they
are allowed to get dry and hard they
may as well be thrown out for they will
never root well enough to make satis-
factory plants. Just as soon as the
roots are pushing out pot them up and
shade heavily for a day or two and they
will soon establish themselves.

Plants that are set out on the benches
should be looked over carefully and the
fly killed that as a rule infests the tips
of the growing shoots at this season.
A heavy dusting of tobaceo dust or
spraying with tobacco water will clean
them out. I have found that if the
plants are entirely freed from fly shortly
after planting they will often run clean
all summer. The lady bug, well known
to practically everybody, is the best aid
a man can have in keeping down the fly.

Many of the plants propagated in
February are now showing a bud. Rub
this oflT and when the side shoots have
become sufficiently long to enable you to

see which will be the best, pinch off ev-
erything except the shoot you wish to
retain to grow along. It is not wise
to be in too much of a hurry in taking
off the superfluous shoots, as it some-
times happens that some of the growths
get one inch or so long and then throw
another bud. Occasionally all the
growths do this, and in that case
there is nothing to be done except cut
the plant down to within five or six
leaves of the ground and let it break
out again. Ordinarily, however, the
plants are not troublesome in this way,
but come away clean and right with a
new shoot.

If the soil in the bench does not feel
firm and solid run over it again with a
brick. There is more in this firming of
the soil for chrysanthemums than the
average grower thinks. It makes a
much slower, firmer and better growth
of the plants.

Look out for your pot plants, if you
grow any. The ones intended for- 6-inch
pots should be moved up from the 2-
inch just as soon as they are rooted
enough. It is not wise to let plants
stay in small pots any longer than is
necessary, as they dry out so quickly
and are very liable to get hard and
stunted. Plants for specimens should
be kept pinched closely, so that they
will produce all the shoots possible. Pot
them on as they need it, so that they
may have all the show possible. Do
things on time, and keep doing them on
time, is the watchword of the successful
grower. Briax Boru.

JUDGING A MUM SHOW.

In a recent issue we asked about the
standard method of grading chrysanthe-
mums, but as Mr. Boru did n'ot catch
our meaning we will try to be more ex-
plicit. The idea is that we are selected
to judge a mum show this fall and want
the standard rules of grading the flow-
er, plant, form, etc., the same that are
used in the shows in the large cities.
Anything pertaining to classing and
handling the plants in the show would be
very interesting. G. N. Co.

The scale of points as adopted by the
Clirysanthemum Society of America,
which is printed below.' forms the best
guide for a judge to follow. As a judge
the correspondent should have nothing

whatever to do with classing or handling
the plants. The schedule is gotten up
by the society or parties having the ex-
hibition in charge and they are supposed
to classify and arrange every exhibit in
its proper place. Then when every de-
tail is complete, every exhibit staged,
the hall is cleared of every one, interest-
ed or otherwise, and the judges are
turned in, with minds unbiased and in
total ignorance of the ownership of any-
thing on which they have to pass judg-
ment.

That is the proper way to do things,
but I only know of about two societies
that do things that way. Generally the
judges will be found judging one class
while the exhibitors are frantically set-
ting up another, and before things are
finished the general public is coming in,
making confusion worse confounded. It
has been the writer's fortune or misfor-
tune to help judge on some occasions,
and it is at best a thankless task. The
kicker is always in evidence 'at a flower
show and all sorts of charges and insin-
uations are hurled at the heads of the
poor judges. I doubt if any fairminded
man ever rendered anything but an hon-
orable decision and tried t^) be strictly
honest in his verdict, but the promoters
oi a show owe it to the judges to have
the hall cleared, have all cards enclosed
in numbered envelopes and place the
judges in a position where they would
be like Caisar 's wife, ' ' above suspicion. ' '
The scale follows. Sh) far as its in-
terpretation is concerned, the correspond-
ent will have to travel alone and pray
for himself.

SOIL STERILIZATION.

We print below some extracts from
an interesting lecture on this subject de-
livered before the Massachusetts Hor-
ticultural Society by Prof. G. E. Stone,
of the Hatch Experiment Station, Am-
herst, Mass.

The treatment of soil by heat, or
sterilization as it is called, has been car-
ried on at the Hatch Experiment Sta-
tion, Amherst, for some years in con-
nection with troublesome organisms
which thrive in the! soil and prevent the
production of healthy crops. It should
be borne in mind, however, that when
we speak of sterilization of the soil we
do not mean absolute sterilization, but
what we actually accomplish is a sort
of Pasteurization or partial steri^za-
tion; in other words, our soil is steril-
ized so far as the presence of some
obnoxious organism is concerned. Cul-
tures of soil treated with steam which
attained a temperature of 212 degrees F.
would show a considerable bacterial flora,
and the subsequent and continual ex-
posuref of the soil to the air and the ap-
plication of water will enable the soil
to become subsequently supplied with a
host of organisms which are beneficial,
indifferent or otherwise. In order to
obtain absolute sterilization and main-
tain those conditions we? would have to
make use of the methods employed by
bacteriologists. Absolute sterilization
we do not desire; and all that it is nec-
essary to accomplish is to destroy the
obnoxious pests which cause damage to
the crop. A uniform temperature of
180 degrees F. maintained for a short
time would accomplish this, but in prac-
tice it is far better to exceed this tem-
perature in order to be on the' safe side.
« • •

The heating by steam is now done
largely by the aid of perforated pipes
and in some cases use is made of two-
inch porous tile, although this method
is not so practicable. If finefly perfor-
ated tile could be obtained in the mar-
ket at a reasonable cost their use would
be of much more value for this purpose
than at present. The various contriv-
ances made out of perforated pipe vary-
ing from one inch to three inches in di-
ameter and usually placed from seven
to twelve inches apart are made up into
frames from ten to twenty feet or more
in length and into any desired width.
The size and number of the perforations
vary much in different appliances.
Where they are rather large (one-fourth
inch) they are frequently covered with
burlap. In some appliances the per-
forations are one-fourth inch in diameter
and are only one and one-half inches
apart each way; in others the perfora-
tions may be only one-eighth" inch in
diameter and from three to six inches

apart with two or three rows of such
holes extending along the pipe. Some
of these appliances are not made up into
permanent frames but are in sections
easily put together or taken apart and
are so constructed that they can be
readily extended to any length or width
desired. These forms are provided with
headers placed transversely which are
pipes of larger diameter containing per-
forations, and nipples are inserted at in-
tervals which readily fit into the exten-
sion pipes. In some instances the head-
ers are placed at each end, thus form-
ing with the extension pipes a frame
composed of a series of rectangles. In
this form a complete circulation of steam
can take place through the apparatus.
In othets the headers are in the middle
and the extension pipes lead off into oo-
posite directions. In the latter case the
ends of the extension pipes are plugged
with wood and no circulation of steam
takes place.

• • •

The methods generally adopted by let-
tuce growers in heating their soil is to
place the sterilizer on the surface of the
bed. If the bed is twenty feet wide then
it would be most convenient to have the
sterilizer ten feet wide and twenty or
thirty feet long. This is placed midwav
in the bed and the soil to the depth of
one foot or more is dug up on either
side and thrown on top of the sterilizer.
The steam is then turned on and the
soil heated. After sufficient steaming
has taken place the pipes can be pulled
out and made ready for the next treat-
ment. The soil previously treated is cov-
ered up with old canvass and allowed
to stand some hours, after which the
top portion is shoveled back to where it
was taken from. Not only is the one
foot or fifteen inches of top soil heated
by this method, but the soil underneath
the apparatus is equally well sterilized,
providing too much haste is not made in
removing the treated soil.

• • •

Mr. W. W. Rawson claims that it cost
him $50 to sterilize a house three hun-
dred by forty feet which would be at
the rate of about $4.16 per one thou-
sand cubic feet. This is undoubtedly
a very fair estimate of what it costs to
sterilize soil when undertaken on a large
plan.

Mr. Sargent maintains that two men
can sterilize a house one hundred and
sixty by fcwty-five feet with his apparatus^
in three days. Assuming that it will
take forty-two cents worth of coal to
heat one thousand cubic feet of soil to-
gether with the labor required in setting
up the apparatus it would cost about
$1.66 to sterilize one thousand cubic
feet. This is assuming that the boiler
is already in operation for heating the
houses and a fireman is employed to run
it. It should be understood that there
is no shoveling of the soil required with
the "use of this sterilizer, hence we
should expect a saving of expense. When
soil can be sterilized at $2.00 per one
thousand cubic feet or even at $5.00
there is no longer any question concern-
ing the practical application of this
method in greenhouses for the exter-
mination of some of its worst enemic*
which interfere with the production of
healthy and profitable crops. Even whero
the cumbersome tile method is employed,
the cost of sterilization is less than one-
half what it costs to remove the old soil
from a house and supply it with new.

It is not possible for us to give an
adequate estimate in dollars and cents
as to the amount of money that has been
saved by the practice of sterilization, as
we do not know the amount of loss ex-
perienced by floriculturists and market
gardeners in this state due to infested
soils. The value of any method of treat-
ment will not be considered for one year
alone but for a period of years in order
to obtain an idea of its full significance.
As a rule lettuce growers have suffered
a loss of from fifteen to fifty per cent
from the "drop" alone and in some in-
stances even greater losses have taken
place. There are, however, other bene-
ficial results derived from the practice
of sterilization other than those of rid-
ding the soil of disease producing germs.
Some market gardeners have practiced
sterilization for three years, not whollv
for the sole purpose of ridding the soil
of certain disease producing organisms,
as that can be accomplished by one treat-
ment when properly done, but largely
for the purpose of increasing their crops.
We have made many experiments with
various crops in which the growth of
plants in sterilized soil was compared
with the growth of the same species of
plants in precisely similar earth not
sterilized. The effect of sterilization is
quite marked in such experiments.

For the purpose of determining on a
larger scale than we had heretofore
shown the effect heating the soil had
upon the acceleration of a crop of let-
tuce we grew a crop from the seed to
maturity in sterilized and unsterilized
soil. The results showed a gain of
thirty-three per cent in weight in favor
of the sterilized plats. Plants grown in
sterilized soil are always lighter colored,
more tender and it is not a difficult task
for an expert to pick out such plants
in the market. Neither is it difficult to
ascertain from market specimens what
temperatures lettuce crops have gener-
ally been subiect to. In houses where
the soil has been treated twice the dif-
ference in the color of plants is very
marked indeed showing that the pro-
longed heating of the soil is m^c^ more
favorable to the growth of the plant
than a brief period of heating.

There was two and two-tenths per
cent more water in those plants grown
in treated soil than in the untreated as
well as a corresponding decrease in the
unburned residue representing organic
matter, ash constituents, etc. From the
color and texture of the lettuce grown in
sterilized soil this might be expected.

A BIG BLAZE.

Under the above heading and with
the sab-head "Elwell's Greenhouse on
Fire," the following appeared in the
Sioux Falls Leader for May 14:

"Fire Chief McKeever was called to
Elwell's greenhouse, 1015 S. Main, which
he found ablaze with scarlet geranium
blossoms. Water was of no avail, as it
only increased the ruddy glow; so the
chief decided to reduce the fiery aspect
by ordering a quantity of plants for
bedding purposes, and declared that it
was the only blaze in the city that he
had failed to extinguish. The green-
house contains an ezcelloot Btock of the
best kinds of plants for beds and win-
dow boxes and is quite worth a visit."

Brooklyn, N. Y. — Hitchings & Co. are

A Single Shipment of Pahm from th« Albert Fuchs Place, Chicago.

A PALM SHIPMENT.

The accompanying illustration is a re-
production from a photograph of a ship-
ment of palms recently sent by Albert
Fuchs, Chicago, to the Foster Floral Co.,
St. Louis. The plants were all of good
size and a furniture car, double decked,
Avas required to hold this single order.
Both decks were covered with a deep lay-
er of shavings to receive the plant's and
th.ey arrived without a pot broken.

HYDROCYANIC FUMIGATION.

Method of Making the Gas.

* ' The materials required in fumigating
with hydrocyanic acid gas are ninety-
eight per cent cyanide of potassium,
broken in small lumps, best secured in
ten or twenty-five pound cans at 30 to
40 cents a pound, and commercial sul-
phuric acid at 3 to 4 cents a pound by
the carboy.

' ' For an ordinary house or frame, good
vessels for liberating the gas are one
and a half or two-gallon earthen jars of
as small diameter as possible, so as to
insure the immersion of the cyanide of
potassium when it is dropped into the
acid. One jar should be used to about
every twenty-five feet 'in length of green-
houses of ordinary width, in order that
the gas may be quickly distributed when
set free. When the jars are placed in
position the next 'step is to arrange to
lower the paper bags xjontaining the de-
sired amount of cyanide into the jars,
from the outside. This is best done by
passing a. cord through a hook or screw-
eye attached to the roof over each jar
in such a manner that when the string
or strings are loosened from the outside
the bags of cyanide will be lowered into
their respective jars.

"When the strings are ready and the
quantity of chemicals dttermined, divide
the amount of cyanide to be used into
parts corresponding to the number of
jars. Wrap each part up in a single
thickness of ordinary newspaper and
put in ordinary brown paper bags, and
attach the bags to the strings. While
the jars are empty test the arrangement
to see if it works satisfactorily. After
each bag is suspended in place, the other
end of the string securely fastened where
it can be reached from the outside and
the arrangement tested, move the sus-
pended bags to one side so they will
be out of the way while putting the
water and acid in the jars. When this

is done, pour into each jar an amount
of water about equal to the bulk of the
potassium cyanide in the bag. Eight
ounces of cyanide vdll require about a
half a pint of water. The sulphuric
acid should then be poured in untiiAsteam
rises from the water. This would require
for a pint of water about a pint and a
half of acid. It is not necessary, how-
ever, to measure the acid, as the evolu-
tion of steam indicates when the right
amount has been poured in. Always put
the water in first and then pour in the
acid. As soon as this is done place
the bags over their respective jaris. "When
all is ready go out, close the door and
carefully loosen the strings, allowing the
bags to settle into the acid.

"While the method just described is
desirable for a large house or series of
houses from which exit would be difficult
after dark it is not necessary to go to
the trouble of lowering the cyanide into
the acid by strings in" most cases. 'When
the jars containing the water and acid
are properly placed the cyanide in the
paper sacks, as previously described, may
be set beside the jars; then the operator,
starting in one end of the house, may
carefully drop the bag into the water
and acid, coming out the other end of the
house. If there are two sets of jars in
different paths it will be necessary for
two operators to start, one in each path,
working in the same direction, at about
the same rate of speed. In this way the
cyanide can be placed very quickly and
easily in quite a large series of jars,
taking care that no cyanide is placed in
a jar in such a way as to cut off the
exit of any operator from the house.

"This method of hand dropping is now
the one most largely used. The gas will
very soon be given off and fill every por-
tion of the house. It is colorless and
smells and tastes like peach pits. A lit-
tle of it is harmless, but too much will
cause death. A small quantity will leak
out of the house; avoid positions where
it can be smelled. The time of exposure
should be reckoned from the lowering of
the cyanide into the jars. When the
proper time has elapsed, varying for dif-
ferent plants, quickly open the ventila-
tors from the outside, so that the gas can
escape as rapidly as possible. It will
all be gone from a large house in half or
three-quarters of an hour, and the venti-
lators may then be closed if necessarv.
Next morning the material left in the
jars should be emptied into a hole and
buried."

BOSTON.

The Market.

We experienced the first genuine warm
wave of the season during the past week,
temperatures ranging from 85 to 87 de-
grees from May 24 to 27. Cooler condi-
tions prevailed for the great Decoration
day market on Saturday, the air beii^
crisp and cool, fine weather lasting over
the holiday itself. During the early
part of the week the hot weather caused
a heavy glut in the market, but a per-
ceptible shortening was noticeable by
Thursday, growers holding back their
stock. Most of the florists have a very
heavy local trade to supply for Memo-
rial day and consequently bring less than
their usual supplies into the market,
which causes prices to harden.

The general opinion among wholesal-
ers and retailers appears to be that Dec-
oration day trade was equal to any past
year's record in most respects and supe-
rior in some. A little more outdoor ma-
terial was available than a year ago,-
but this seemed to have no effect on-
prices of greenhouse stock. Roses were
quite plentiful but cleared out easily,
colored varieties as usual selling best.
There was no decided advance in prices;
$12 to $iJO seemed to be the ruling price
on Beauties. Brides and Bridesmaids
made from $4 to $12, a few extra fine
ones going above these prices. Liberty,
Meteor and hybrids were scarce and
eagerly snapped up at advanced prices.
The output of carnations, while very ^
large, was less than had been expected,
many being held back for local trade;
$3 to $3.50 per hundred seemed to be
the ruling price for good average stock,
some selling at $4 and fancies $5. Crim-
son and scarlet varieties were in strong-
est demand.

There was a big output of feverfew,
stocks and white candytuft, which sold
generally at 50 cents per bunch. Antir-
rhinums and spiraeas were fairly plenti-
ful and sweet peas went at from 25
to 50 cents per hundred. Very little
bulbous stock appeared except a few
Narcissus poeticus and some of the late
flowering tulips. Outdoor lily of the
valley was extra fine, selling at $1 to
$2 per hundred. Callas, Lilium longi-
florum and L. candidum. Gladiolus Tlie
Bride and Gandavensis hybrids, Iris
Germanica in variety (the variety Mme.
Chereau being the best seller), lilacs
and Spanish iris comprised the bulk of
the remaining stock sold. Retailers
used flowers of gloxinias, zonale and
fancy pelargoniums, hydrangeas, loni-
ceras, viburnums, hardy azaleas, native
cypripediums and in fact about every-
thing procurable to help fill their numer-
ous orders. The wholesalers were very
busy and did an enormous trade, having
to hire considerable additional floor
space. While Friday and Saturday were
their busiest days, they were quite act-
ive on Monday morning, the wholesale
market cleaning out well on that day.
A great many artificial wreaths and
bouquets were disposed of and. taken all
in all, the Memorial day trade of 1904
was an eminently satisfactory one.

Business during June will be material-
ly assisted by the numerous weddings
and class day gatherings. As many grow-
ers also start to pull out their rosea
and carnations after Memorial day, this
further restricts the output and prevents
a glut.

Peonies, except officinalis, are never in
season for our Memorial day trade, but

some fine single pyrethrums, Oriental
poppies and other perennials were no-
ticed. One florist made a great strike
with a house of Iris Hispanica, while
anotlier had a batch of 10,000 Tulip Ges-
neriana major which sold like hot cakes.

The Arnold Arboretum.

There is always something to interest
the visitor at tlie Arnold Arboretum.
The lilac display this year is remarkably
fine. This is one of the few shrubs
which winter cold never seems to affect
in the least and it is no wonder that
lilacs are becoming more popular each
year. During a visit the past week we
spent two hours looking over the re-
markable collection of these plants and
took down the names of over 100 vari-
eties which seemed to be first class. The
following appeared to be extra fine, with
very large trusses : Marie LieGraye, still
the best all around white. Mme. Le-
moine and Comte de Kerchove are newer
whites of gieat merit. Furst Lichten-
stein is a magnificent rosy lilac variety
with huge trusses, an improvement on
the older Jacques Calot. Frau Bertha
Danimann is a beautiful single white;
Belle de Nancy, satiny rose; President
Grevy, a beautiful double blue, panicles
fourteen inches in length. I^udwig
Spaeth is the best of the dark, purplish-
red varieties. Some of the other notice-
able sorts were Comtesse Horace de
€hoi8eul, Dr. Von Kegel, President Mas-
sart. La Tour d'Auvergne, Geliemrath
Hayden, Michael Buchner, beautiful pale
lilac color; Ambroise Verschaffelt, Emile
Lemoine, Croix de Brary, Philemon, beau-
tiful dark variety; Lalarosa, Goliath,
Prof. C, S. Sargent, Belle de Nancy,
Mme. Abel Chatenay, beautiful white;
Mme. Briot Lamarck, Dr. Lindley, Al-
phonse Lavalee, De Humboldt, Macros-
tachya, beautiful blush white, and Fran-
cisque Morel.

Of the newer and scarcer Lemoine hy-
brids Jackson Diawson pointed out the
following as being extra good: Cram-
pel, immense florets considerably larger
than a silver 25-cent piece; Mme. Cas-
imir Perire and Mme. Leon Simon.
Others were hardly equal to the older
hybrids and Mr. Dawson thought the
limit had been about reached in lilac hy-
brids.

The earliest species to flower is S. ob-
lata. Other very desirable species are
Chinensis, Persica and the graceful pu-
bescens. The handsome tree varieties,
Japonica and Perkenensis, promised a
fine display of bloom later.

The shrubby loniceras on the oppo-
site side of the avenue to the lilacs were
verj' beautiful. Some of the more desir-
able sorts noted were L. TartariCa in
varietj', L. Morrowi, L. alba, the finest
white variety; L. Candida, L. bejla al-
bida and L. Ruprechtiana.

Mr. Dawson is at present working
strongly on the Crataegus family and
many thousands of seedling hawthorns
from a few inches to tliree or four feet
high were noted. Some 300 varieties of
these are already named. A batch of
1.100 difTerent lots of Crataegus seeds
have recently been sown and it would
look as thoueh there would be enough
plants when developed to stock all the
ornamental grounds in the United
States.

A batch of rhododendron • hybrids,
maximum crossed with best Catawbiense
hybrids, came thrmigh the winter un-
scathed and some were showing flower.
In the propagating house were noted
boxes containing many tliousand« of

seedling azaleas, rhododendrons and otli-
er plants. Particularly interesting was
a batch of willows, chestnuts, walnuts
and other plants secured by Prof. Sar-
gent on his recent trip to Siberia, Man-
churia and Korea, some of these coming
from the present site of the Russo-Jap-
anese war and being new to cultivation.
A strikingly handscnne tree of Japan-
ese origin is Acanthopanax ricinifolium,
foliage quite tropical in appearance, re-
sembling that of ricinus. The damage
done by the recent severe winter- at the
arboretum is more widespread than ever
before, but the copious rains of the pres-
ent spring have caused such a rampant
growth on trees and shrubs that this
is not now particularly noticeable.

Variotfs Notes.

Hitchings & Co. have a large number
of contracts on hand for new greenhouses
in this vicinity at present. The bulk are
on private estates and include the fol-
lowing: J. B. Case, Newton, range of
greenhouses; W. Firth, Brookline, one
house; F. A. Day, Newton, range of
houses; Miss M. S. Ames, North Easton,
range of houses; Mrs, A, S, Bigelow, Co-
hasset, range of houses ; F. Peabody, Hyde
Park, range of houses; H. L Wallace,
Fitchburg, range of houses; W. O Blake,
Hingham, range of houses; E, Lovering,
Holyoke, one house; H, D. Auchincloss,
Newport, range of houses; Mrs. J. A,
Codman, Newport, one house; Miss Alice
Kettletas, Newport, one house; T, Cur-
ley, Providence, two commercial houses;
E. D. Clark, Providence, carnation house
30x200; R. J, Erwin, Hartford, Conn.,
one house; E, K. Hubbard, Middletown,
Conn., one house.

George A. Sutherland, of Hawley
street, one of our leading wholesalers,
has made an assignment for the equal
benefit of his creditors.

At Horticultural Hall on May 28
James L. Little showed four varieties
of Malmaison carnations: Prime Min-
ister, brilliant scarlet; Lord Rosebery,
bright salmon scarlet; Trumpeter, deep
scarlet, and Mrs. Martin R. Smith, fine
bright' rose of enormous size, said to be
the handsomest Malmaison yet raised.

The garden committee of the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society has issued
a circular calling special attention to its
work and to the prizes awarded under
it'* direction. Each year handsome pre-
miums are ofl"ered by the society for the
purpose of encouraging the development
and ornamentation of private grounds
and the establishment and maintenance
of greenhouses for the culture of plants,
fruits and vegetables. These prizes have
now been awarded for over fifty years.

A meeting of the Independent Co-op-
erative Flower Growers' Association was
held at the New England House, Bos-
ton, on Wednesday evening, where there
was a good attendance. There is little
doubt from the sentiment expressed at
the meeting, but that a new wholesale
market will be formed in the very near
future. About 100 growers are pledged
to support the new concern and a consid-
erable amount of stock is already taken
up. Several locations in the business
center are being looked up, one with
7,000 feet of floor space being the most
popular. There has been considerable
dissatisfaction with the governing body
oi the present wholesale market for
some time. The dissatisfied members
claim that undue favoritism is shown to
some and that their petitions and claims
for recognition have been ignored. They
object to growers from other states be-

ing allowed to come into the market and
w^ile considering the present market ex-
cellent in many ways, thiidc it is too
far away from the business oenter for
retailers to patronize it. The Columbus
avenue market has proved quite remun-
erative to the stockholders and we hope
some arrangement can be made to settle
the present difl"erences.

R. J, Farquhar & Co. have a fine
collection of late blooming tulips in
flower at their nurseries. Some ^of the
named Darwins are remarkably good. A
few of the best are Glory, light i«d; Li-
beria, dark purple maroon; Heroid, light
violet ; Richelieu, bright red and Grand
Duchess, deep rosy pink.

The Market.

This is Decoration day and everybody
seems fairly busy with some kind of
work in the cut flower line. The whole-
sale market was somewhat strengthened
for the occasion. All outdoor flowers
are in full bloom and these are about
the only flowers that sell well for this
day. Other cut flowers at the whole-
sale houses are enough for the demand
and only special grades are short and
the demand is most excellent for these,
as many of the social functions call for
fancy stock.

American Beauties are selling well
in all grades. Choice are still at $2.50
to $3 per doaen. Shorts run as low as
$3 per hundred. In Brides, Maids and
Meteors there are plenty for the demand
though some days the nmrket is short
on this stock. For good roses $5 and
$6 per hundred is the price. Some extra
specials run as high as $8. The market
is also fairly well supplied in good carna-
tions in all varieties. Some extra fine
Lawson, Joost and Hill are to be seen,
also very fine Prosperity and Estelle,
Of these the specials are $3 per hundred,
firsts $2 and the common $1.50,

Peonies are plentiful, white and pink,
Nick Himmer, of Maramar Highlands,
brought in a two-horse wagon load of
them the past week, from which he av-
eraged about 3 cents each. At the whole-
sale houses 4 cents is asked. Harrisii
and callas are becoming scarce, Lily
of the valley is very fine at present at
$S per hundred, A great deal of out-
door stock is crowding the market,
which is in great demand today, Monday.
Sweet peas are in great abundance. All
light shades are selling well, at from
35 to 75 cents per hundred. In greens
Asparagus Sprengeri is having a big call ;
plumosus strings are scarce; smilax is
plentiful and so are adiantum and com-
mon ferns.

We are having most beautiful weather
and plenty of decorative work is going
on at the World's Fair grounds, ^hool
commencements are coming early this
year and quite a lot of this kind of
work was done the past week. This week
a number of early June weddings are re-
ported, a few very large affairs among
the west end florists. Funeral work,
too, is keeping some of ns very busy. Miss
Roosevelt's visit during the past week
exhausted the supply of American Beau-
ties. Miss Roosevelt's car and room at
the Catlin mansion were handsomely
decoratetl. At all the social gatherings
in her honor among the fashionable folks
cut flowers in great profusion were used.

Bedding plantsmen are nearly sold
out, although the bad weather hindered

them in the start. Echeveria and alter-
nanthera are scarce, so are geraniums.
From the looks of the homes in the
fashionable districts a great many of
these must have been used. The ceme-
tery florists have had a very busy time
this spring. They had all they possibly
could do and they have scarcely any
bedding plants left for sale.

Various Notes.

W. D. Keith, of Ennis, Texas, is in
town. Mr. Keith is president of the
Rubber Tiee Culture Co., in Mexico.

Greorge Young and wife, of New York,
are in the city taking in our World's
Fair. They are guests of James Y'^oung,
ef C. Young. & Sons Co.

Next Sunday will be the first Sunday
Opening of Shaw's garden this year.
Everytliing is being put in shape for the
big crowd which takes advantage of
these Sunday openings. These, with the
many strangers in town attracted by
the World's Fair, will no doubt make
this the largest Sunday opening in the
'history of the garden.

Hie peony show in the Horticulture
building at the. Fair this week promises
better rftsults than the rose exhibition
of last week. The dates of this exhibi-
tion are May 28 to June 7.

Charles Juengel, state vice-president
of the S. A. F., wouW like to hear from
all florists who are not yet members of
our society. Mr. Juengel "Will be at the
club meeting on next Thursday after-
noon with blank, applications for those
who wish to join.

The exhibition of hardy roses at tlte
World's Fair, in the Horticulture build-
ing, takes place June 18 to 28. There
are six classes. June 15 is the last day
for entries to Superintendent Hadkinson.

Illinois dedicated her state building
at the World's Fair last week. Grovern-
or Eichard Yates and wife with
mounted ataflf and 850 cadets attended.
The building was elaborately decorated
with plants, roses and carnations, the
governor's wife carrying a huge bunch,
of American Beauties which were grown-
in Springfield, 111.

The Texas building, too, had its ded-
ication the past week. Tlie entire build-
ing on the inside was decorated with cape
jasmines, all coming direct from the
Lone Star state. James Bass, of Tem-
ple, Texas, was in charge of the decora-
tions.

The vice-president of the S. A. F. will
on Thursday meet the chairmen of the
different committees who will have
charge of the S. A. F. affairs, including
C. A. Kuehn, the superintendent of
trades' display at the Exposition build-
ing. Thirteenth and Olive streets, to per-
fect plans for the coming convention
which is only ten weeks off. Those who
will meet with the vice-president and
superintendent are Fred Ammann, Otto
G. Koenig. F. C. Weber. Carl Beyer.
Henry O^^tertag, F. M. Ellis and F.' H.
Meinhardt.

The Florists' Club meeting will be
held Thursday afternoon, June 9. at 2
o'clock. All members are earnestly re-
quested to attend, as matters of great
importance pertaining to the S. A. F.
convention will come before them. As
the busy plant season will be over, the
largest meeting of the year is looked for.
Emil Schray. Fred Ammann and Mr.
Thompson, of Shaw's Garden, will load
discussions on very intereatinjr subjects.
A box of the Florists' Club's special
cigars will be handed around.

C. A. Kuehn, superintendent of

trades' display, reports that every mail
brings in orders for space. All those
who contemplate making an exhibition
should communicate with Mr. Kuehn at
once, before all the choice space is taken
up, as only ten more weeks are left
when the convention will be in full blast.

Mr. Wertheimier, of Lion & Werth-
eimer, of New York, was with us recent-
ly. The firm will make an extensive ex-
hibition of ribbons at the trades' dis-
play.

The St. Louis Cactus Club held its
annual picnic and excursion last Sunday
at Chautauqua, 111. Although the weather
was bad a large cTowd attended.

The S. A. F. souvenir book is already
in the hands of the printers, who are
working on the cover, which will be
handsomely embossed, also the back of
the book which will show Carnation Fi-
ancee for the Chicago Carnation Co.
Advertisements must reach St. Louis not
later than J\uie 15. To save time send
them direct to J. J. Beneke, 1220 Olive

NEW YORK.

The Market.

Memorial day opened in New York
cloudy, sultry and with hardly an indi-
cation of special demand or any call out
of the ordinary. The quantity of every-
thing is enormous and much of the sup-
ply is not up to the standard in quality
and business cannot improve while pres-
ent conditions and overshipments con-
tinue. The extreme heat also affects the
retail demand and uniform stagnation
aliout expresses the state of things in
the ttietropolis.

Not O^hly are roses here in floods, but
carnations, outdoor valley, lilac and
lilies, of whiPb there seems no end.
Peonies have arr^^ed in all colors and
are welcome. Brillittnt retail windows
already manifest their vahie. They grow
more popular yearly.

Various Notes.

Next week the American Peony, Society
gives its exhibit, June 8 and 9, at the
Bronx Park Botanic Garden and the
week following, Monday, June 13, the,
peony night of the New Y'ork Florists'
Club will doubtless see a very large ex-
hibit and attendance of members and
friends of the club, it being ladies' night
also, with strawberry and cream accom-
paniments. A fine musical program and
other features will add to the pleasures
of the last meeting of the club until
September. In addition to the prizes
mentioned in our last for the outing of
the club on June 29, donations have been
received from Schloss Bros., W. J. El-
liott. Chas. Weathered, F. R. Pierson,
B. Suzuki, L. J. Kreshover, Patrick
O'Mara, John Scott, Arthur T. Bodding-
ton, Alex McConnell, Alex Guttman, Geo.
M. Geraghty, Clucas & Boddington Co..
Vaughan's Seed Store, W. B. DuRie and
M. Gibbs. the values ranging from $3 to
$10 and so an aggregate of $200 is to
be devoted to the athletic contests of
the day. All the young folks are pro-
vided for and a good many unique bat-
tles will occur. Tlie programs will be
distributed at the club's meeting. June
13, and everything now indicates a large
attendance.

The exodus to Europe this summer by
members of the trade in many of its
departments is greater than usual.
Wholesalers, growers, supply men and
seedsmen, several accompanied by their

wives, have already departed or will early
in June.

Chas. B. Hanft, of Hanft, Bros., goes
to Saratoga this week to manage the
Aldine hotel there, which he has rented
for the season. He will be glad to see
any visiting florists frcMn New York at
his hostelry this summer.

The carnationist, A. J. Tharp, of Bed-
ford Station, first shipper to Moore,
Hentz & Nash, some seven years ago,
celebrated his silver wedding on May
20. About 200 people attended the re-
ception, among them Mr. Nash of the
above firm, who 'reports many handsome
presents bestowed upon Mr. and Mrs.
Tharp.

Miss Emily Isabel Wadley, only daugh-
ter of Albert Wadley, of New Rochelle,
was married to Arthur Goodenougb, of
Bristol, Conn., last Tuesday evening, the
father of the groom officiating. The dec-
(irations at the house and church revealed
the artistic ability of the veteran florist
whose hand has not lost its cunning,
even if the accident of a year or two ago
has left his underpinning perpetually the
worse for wear. White spring flowers
were abundantly used, an arbor of lilies
and dogwood cmnpletely hiding the pul-
pit. The bride carried a shower bouquet
of lilies of the valley and the six maids
had Bridesmaid roses.

Early closing is becoming popular and
with many after this week 3 p. m. seems
to be considered the popular hour. It
would be well if this system could be
made conveniently universal until the
end of August.

A good deal of sympathy is expressed
by the trade for W. A. Manda, of South
Change, in the loss of his furniture and
valuable paintings by fire last week.

Elliott's and deary's auction rooms
are busy places these days, and to one
who has visited these marts for years
a remarkable feature is the number of
new faces and the few florists to be
found there. The outside public has
found a mecca, evidently, and readily
absorb everything that is offered at
good priees. The sales will close shortly
and the season, which promised badly at
its beginning, ends in the most satisfac-
tory way to all concerned. The year,
too, vhich is now about at an end with
the seelknen, has far exceeded all ex-
pectations, many declaring it to be the
greatest season of their experience.

The closing of the schools and the Eu-
ropean travel should make themselves
felt for a few weeks among the retailers,
many of whom are complaining of dull
times at present.

The Plant Growers' Market at Canal
street, is an interesting place these (hiys,
buyers arriving often about the time
most of us go to bed. In fact, one promi-
nent retailer told me he had to be there
at 2 a. m. to get what he wanted, so
great is the demand. The street peddlers
are everywhere in evidence and the neces-
sity of a proper market building is more
and more apparent every day.

BowIin£.

The Florists' Bowling Club met on
Tuesday evening, May 24, at the new al-
leys. Twenty- third street and Sixth ave-
nue, and a much increased attendance
encouraged the officers of the club, not-
withstanding the intense heat. The spe-
cial prize for highest score was won by
Captain Lang, with a total of 221. Next
week Mr. Lang will give the .special prize

CHICAGO.

The Market

In spite of many unfavorable circum-
stances, the Decoration day business is
counted as the best on record. This
was because of great quantities of stock
moved, for prices were lower than usual.
The early part of the week was probably
the worst period ever known in average
returns for the growers, and conditions
improved but little up to Friday, when
there was considerable shipping business,
in spite of the fact that keeping quali-
ties were not to be looked for in the
stock. Saturday saw an enormous ship-
ping demand, which continued fairly
strong on Sunday and even up to noon
on Monday there were boxes going out.
Local business was fair.

Eeceipts on Saturday and Sunday,
while very heavy in miscellaneous items,
were not equal to requirements on roses
and carnations and prices, which early
in the week had been steadily declining,
took a brace and were fully up to ad-
vance quotations. Many orders for car-
nations were sent out short, also many
on roses, while at the time there were
roses left in the market, but of such
low grade that they could not be shipped.
There were plenty of long Beauties at
all times. On Monday several growers
who had not shipped a flower for two
days sent in big boxes of carnations, too
late to find a buyer, and robbed them-
selves of the week's profit.

There were very heavy supplies of
peonies and a big business was done in
this line but not at so good average
prices as have frequently been realized
at this season. When business ceased
Sunday there were inany hundreds of
dozens still unsold and Monday's re-
ceipts were far heavier than the sales.
Peonies began going into storage again
on Monday but it remains for the future
to show what profit there will be in this
operation this year. With the unseason-
able weather, peonies threaten to inun-
date the market all through June, where
usually they are well over before school
closings and are held for the good mar-
ket which comes at that time. However,
heavy plantings in late years have so
increased the supply that even in normal
seasons values must be readjusted.

All the miscellaneous items sold out
fairly well for Decoration day except
cape jasmine and valley. The capes
were salable only in limited quantities
and made very low prices, with many
spoiling on wholesalers' hands. Valley
was in large supply and did not seem to
be wanted. Lilac cleaned up much bet-
ter than might have been expected from
the quantities oflFered; it all found a
home, if good for anything. Lilies went
cheaply and there was no time when it
was not possible to find a bargain in
odds and ends.

On Tuesday there was fair business

but unwieldy receipts and prices, which
had begun to slide on Monday, took a
further drop, except on the best grane
of roses, which are so few in proportion
to the total receipts that they hold firm
in price. ^

Various Notes.

Peter Weiland was up from New Castle
last week, returning Monday. Yesterday
he came into sole ownership of the big
greenhouse plant at New Castle, froi
which Peter Reinberg has had half the
cut this season. Mr. Weiland has opened
a wholesale store at Cincinnati, in the
same building with Wm. Murphy, and
will hereafter sell his own cut, taking
personal charge of the work. The green-
houses will be under the management of
Peter Heirnes.

The weather always counts for much
in the flower business and it has been
so utterly unreliable of late as to be
worthy of note. The vagaries of the
past weet included: On Wednesday be-
fore Decoration day, 87 degrees; twen-
ty-four hours later, 45; Friday, 71; Sat-
urday, 75; Sunday, 74; Decoration day,
42 and rain.

One of the novelties was bougainvillea,
not often seen in this market, which
Amling found a good seller.

The cold storage ferns are gone,
cleaned up nicely at $4.50 per thousand
where the owners held for it.

C. M. Dickinson has moved his fam-
ily to Park Kidge, where they formerly
resided.

Carl Thomas went to his old home
in Pennsylvania Sunday night to spend
a two weeks' vacation. On his return
A. L. Randall and family will go'lo their
fruit farm in Michigan to spend the
summer.

J. B. Deamud was last Saturday elect-
ed president of the Model Oil and Gas
Mfg. Co., a newly organized company
operating in Kansas adjoining the Chi-
cago-Kansas Co., in which Mr. Deamud
was already interested.

E. E. Pieser says that in all the years
he has been in the trade he never saw
so many flowers in market as were moved
for Decoration day, and there were not
enough carnations or shipping roses.

F. C. Struvy returned Tuesday from
a six weeks' trip to California and Mex-
ico.

Bassett & Washburn report selling 15.-
000 longiflorum lilies for Decoration (la\

It is the report that young stock of
Chatenay rose has not been selling the
way the propagators expected it would,
from the success which two or three
growers made with it the past season.

There were very few plants oflfered
for Decoration day. Some well flowered
hydrangeas were good property and
Beauty plants with one well developed
flower and several buds sold well.

Edwin Eagle has closed up his place
on the south side and will remove to a
fruit farm and summer resort near
Union Pier. Mich.

Albert Fuchs has closed a contract with
the E. F. Winterson Co.. whereby they
will conduct his auction, June 15 and 16.
Mr. Winterson will do the selling and Mr.
l>egnan will have charge of the business
arrangements. There is a very large
quantity of good stock in the houses
and one of the biggest sales on record is
assured. Mr. Fuchs will not only sell
the stock, but also the greenhouses for
removal from the property.

P. J. Hauswirth says he is having a
nice run of work, a great deal of banquet
and dinner work in the Auditorium.

HAIL.

The Florists' Hail Association is ad-
justing losses at Pueblo, Colo.; Roches-
ter, N. Y. ; Reading, Pa., and Guthrie,
Okla. The Pueblo storm was the most
severe that has occurred since the organ-
ization of the Association. Ten mem-
bers of the F. H. A. lost from ninety to
100 per cent of their glass. All claims
that have been properly presented are
either adjusted or are in process of ad-
justment.

ELMIRA, N. Y,

The first consignment of plants which
have been ordered to stock the mammoth
greenhouses that are being erected by
the United States Cut Flower Company,
arrived here May 27, over 20,000 carna-
tions being received, while over 12,000
more are expected in a few days. The
plants, which are all strong, vigorous
stock, are of the best varieties obtain-
able, including the standard varieties
and latest introductions. The stock was
purchased of Dorner & Sons Co., of La-
fayette, Ind.; S. J. Renter, Westerly,
R. I.; Baur & Smith, Indianapolis, and
others, and several thousand plants were
grown in this city by Harry N. Hoffman.

The work of erecting the gieenhouses
is proceeding at a rapid rate. Nearly
all of the iron framework has been
placed in position and painted. Presi-
dent Algie states that two cars of iron-
work, which will complete the shipment,
are expected daily and can be placed in
position in a few days after being re-
ceived. Tuesday the work of building the
brick benches was commenced. The glass
for the greenhouses has all been received
and can be placed in position as soon as
the structural work is completed.

Everything about the immense plant
will be painted white. The 10,000 sash
bars and caps which arer to be used to
hold the glass are now being painted.
Each piece receives three coats of the
best grade of white paint, each piece be-
ing dipped into a tank of paint, then
passed through steel and rubber dies to
work the pigment into the wood, and
then brushed to distribute evenly, the
work being thus performed with greater
expedition than by brushing only.

"The greenhouse will be completed by
July 10," sa\d President Algie. "That
does not mean the power houses and va-
rious other auxiliary buildings, however.
Those buildings are not needed imme-
diately, but we will have them completed
by the first of August."

Gi-THRiE, Okla. — Furrow Bros, suf-
fered a very heavy loss by hail last week,
their place being completely wrecked and
all glass broken. Repairs will be made
at once.

I HAVE certainly been well pleased with
the Review and would not like to be with-
out it; I think every florist should take
it. — C. L. Shanks, Newton, Kan.

IMPRESSIONS OF ST. LOUIS.

St. Louis is a much maligned metrop-
olis. The more visitors see of St. Louis
the more they like it. St. Louis is a
phenomenally well arranged city and
well kept, abundantly supplied with
public parks and places of amusement.
The heat of St. Louis is discovered to
exist to a considerable degree in the
minds of the outside world. St. Louis
is closely connected with the country.
You can get on a car in its throbbing
heart and ride twenty miles straight
and far out away from the noise and
bustle of the city, to lakes, rivers, coun-
try places and clubs, suburban resorts,
through the fresh real country. Those
w^ho have never seen Missouri, who have
ridden in trolley cars over the flats from
Buffalo to Niiagara, from New York to
Coney Island or from Chicago to Wau-
kegan know nothing of what it means
to speed through the country about St.
Louis over the various splendid electric
routes which radiate here. It is a fact
that St. Louis has more beautiful homes
than any other city in the world. Many
of these homes are palaces. If a Chica-
goan or a New Yorker were to go to
sleep at home and wake up in, say,
Portland place, Westmoreland place, or
Vandeventer place in St. Louis he would,
I sincerely believe, hesitate before he
decided that he was not in paradise.
Enough said.

Impressions have gone abroad that St.
Louis hotels have doubled their rates
and that hotel accommodations are hard
to get. This is not true. The souvenir
book, which will be gotten up by the
St. Louis Florists' Club and will be in
the hands of the members of the S. A.
F. by July 15, will show ninety-six ho-
tels, where they are located and their
prices. The highest priced hotel down
town is the Jefferson, which has a ca-
pacity of 1,500 and their charges are
from $2.50 per day up. The Planters
hotel is from $2 per day up. Southern,
Lindell and St. Nicholas are $1.50 per
day up. The combined capacity of these
first-class hotels is 5,000 persons. At
the Hotel Rozier, which is across from
the convention hall, with a capacity of
400, the rates are from $1 per day up.

The souvenir book will also have a
map cf the ground plan of the World's
Fair showing the exact location of all
the buildings; on the other side showing

PACffIC COAST.

OUTDOOR-GROWN ROSES.

Before we got into the habit of grow-
ing roses under glass in California many
of the nursery men had big fields of
roses planted in the open ground for cut
blooms ana except in the coldest weather
there was no difficulty in making this
portion of the business one of the best
paying. Now the rose patches are ne-
glected and it is only in the spring of
the year, for about three months, that
any use is made of them. The street
venders are the only dealers who will
handle them. Safrano, Jacqueminot,
Madame Lambard, Bougere, EJisa Sau-
vage, Bon Silene, Marie Van Houtte,
Papa Gontier and a host of others were
great favorites and from $1 to $2 per
hundred was the usual price secured,
which paid very well, considering that
the plants lasted for several years and
they did not require any special care
except to keep them well pruned and
the soil well worked up and occasionally
watered.

Last season I planted about 500 strong
two-year-old plants, of Ulrich Brunner,
Mrs. John Laing, Belle Siebrecht, Mme.
Caroline Testout and Liberty, even quan-
tity of each. I put them out in Novem-
ber and pruned them back well. They
commenced blooming in March and con-
tinued through April, May and June and
long after the hot weather had weak-
ened and bleached out the hothouse roses
I still was able to cut hundreds of long-
stemmed flowers with splendid, clean
foliage that I had no trouble to dispose
of at $3 per hundred. The TJlrich Brun-
ner and Mrs. Laing were exceptionally
fine, as they make stems averaging two
feet long with splendid, big flowers to
match. I kept the moisture from them
during July and August, pruned and
mulched them well in September and
^ve them a thorough soaking several
times. They gave me another succession
of flowers fully as good as those 1 had
in the spring and I cut a good quantity
up to December. I found that they
were one of the best paying propositions
on my place a« there was no trouble at
any time to dispose of them. I planted
several hundred Brides, MJaids and Perles
also but they do not make a good stem
outdoors, although the flowers were fine.

Roses do well anywhere in California
near the coast except in the southern
portion of the state, where the season
for flowering is much shorter than in
the central part, owing to the hot weath-
er. They like a heavy, adobe ground
and do not do well where there is too
much sand in the soil. They can be
handled out in the open field provided
there is not too much wind to mar the
flowers. The varieties I have mentioned
stand considerable pruning and want
plenty of moisture. About four years
is the average time to figure on the
plants giving good service. After that
throw them out and replant with younger
stock and on another piece of ground,
if you can, and use the first location for
some other stock for a season or two
when after a good manuring and spad-
ing it can be used again for roses. Roses
are heavy feeders and they will ex-
haust soil much quicker than many other
kinds of stock and where a grower's
land is limited they are often kept too
long in one place. G.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

We are within a few hours of Dec-
oration day and the stores are piled high
with the products of the season. A great
m^ny flowers are shipped to Nevada,
Oregon and Utah and I think this por-
tion of the business averages about the
same as in former years. Flowers are
extremely plentiful and very cheap and
outside of the outlook for Decoration day
there is very little doing. We have had
several good weddings and school com-
mencements during the week, but fu-
neral work has not been in evidence. A
great many Italian and Chinese growers
have gone into raising outdoor stock, such
as candytuft, stocks, gaillardias, poppies,
etc., for this particular day and I have
never se^en such a quantity of hardy
flowers. The sweet peas are extra fine
and can be bought at $4 per hundred
bunches, each bunch containing 100
stems. Calla lilies are somewhat scarce,
as their first crop of blooms is over and
it is only where they have been well
watered that it is possible to cut many
flowers. They are in great favor with
the flower-buying public at this time of
the year, wholesaling today at from $1 to
$1.50 per hundred. Carnations are very
cheap but the tendency in prices is some-
what upwards. Roses are not plentiful
but there has been such a slight demand
that the want of them has not been felt
to any extent. Bride gladioli are handled
in large quantities.

The San Francisco florists, with but a
few exceptions, have placards in their
windows announcing that after June 1
the stores will close at 1 p. m. on Sun-

with delight by everyone interested in
the trade.

A committee endorsed by the Mayor,
the Chamber of Commerce, the Board of
Trade and the Merchants' Exchange will

The Market

Deeoiation day trade proved to be
very good this year and, notwithstanding
the fact that stwk was scarce in all
lines, it was fully up to last year, if r«)t
somewhat better. Had it not been for
the failure of the peony crop to be in
time, also had lilies been more plentiful,
this year would have far excwded last,
for the demand was far in excess of the
supply.

It was expected that carnations would
be scarce and that roses would not be
equal to the demand and we were not
disappointed. But still there was a large
supply, especially of carnaticns. and they
were of good quality. Roses were mostly
very poor. lieauties. as for the last
month, were in g(K)d demand, and some
of tiip xUn-k was Al. Good short-
stemmed lleauties were especially scarce
and many more could have been disposed
of to advantage.

There were practically no outdoor flow-
ers that could be used by the florists,
with the exception of irises and large
quantities of them were sold. The big
crop of peonies was just about four days
late, but still there were seme and they
were quickly picked up at first-class
prices. As it is, we will have peonies
through June and with carnations and
rosps scarc*e they will be good property.

New southern ferns are now coming in
large quantities and though thev are a
trifle soft, still they are much better than
the rubbish we have been handling. They
sell at $1..>0 per thousand and it is hard
to keep any pn hand, they go so quickly.

Various Notes.

It is a strange thing that the average
grower pays so little attention to what
the market really wants. Take for in-
stance, sweet peas. Why is it that the
grower insists in planting one-half or
even more of pink and that dark pink,
which in many eases go on the dump or
are sold at a sacrifice, when the buyers
are looking everywhere for lavender,
white or daybreak i)ink? It would ap-
pear that a little judicious attention to
what the public really wanted would re-
sult in considerable profit to some enter-
j'rising grower. And sweet peas are only
one of many cases where the same thing
is l>eing seen almost every day.

The growers in the .lalM'z Klliott Flower
Market report a i ery good trade. Their
entire stock of plants and cut Mowers

AMERICAN ASSOCUTION OF NVRSCRYMEN.

Booheater, N. Y.; Treas., C. L. Yates, Rochester,

Will be held at Atlanta, Ga., June, 1904.

Ellwangee & Babby. of Rochester, N.
Y., were hit by hail on May 25. They
were insured.

An arrangement has been made where-
by members of the American Association
of Nurserymen who will attend the At-
lanta convention June 22 to 24 can
travel from New York via steamer to
either Savannah or Charleston, fare
$33.25.

The landscape work at the University
of Chicago, after plans by Olmsted Bros.,
Boston, is attended by many difSculties,
not the least of which is the fact that
the soil is pure lake sand. In the plant-
ing of some 4-inch elms this season an
excavation was made sixteen feet square
and four feet deep for each tree and this
filled vdth prairie loam, brought from
Elgin, 111., forty miles away.

San Jose scale has made its appear-
ance in Oklahoma and the secretary of
the territorial board of agriculture says
it is because the territory has been the
dumping ground for infested nursery
tjtock, there being no inspection law.
Such a law was passed by both houses
of the legislature at the last session,
but was vetoed by the governor because
of mutilation by an incompetent engross-
ing clerk.

In writing of the attractions of At- ^
lanta as a convention city in late June,
Becretary George C. Seager, of the
American Association of Nurserymen,
says: "The opportunity to see the fa-
mous Georgia peach orchards is one
which no nurseryman should miss. Am-
ple arrangements will be made for their
inspection, and southern hospitality is
waiting for the nurserymen of the north-
em sections, where the winter has been
long enough, severe enough and tedious
enough to make the land of sunshine and
flowers seem peculiarly inviting,"

NATURAL FERTILIZERS.

Animal manures, unless carefully saved
and protected from heavy rains and ex-
cessive fermentation, are not rich, and
are very variable in their manurial value.
Farmyard manures are most effective
and valuable when composted or mixed
with the soil, or when used in a well-
rotted state as a mulch for growing crops.
Rapidly fermenting manure will injure
the roots of almost any plant. Liquid
manures should therefore be made from
materials that have already fermented
or rotted under such conditions as to
conserve their fertilizing value.

The following proportion . will make
capital solutions: Ten pounds of pul-
verized sheep-manure to fifty gallons of
rain-water; or twenty pounds of cow or
hcrse-manure (droppings, when in a com-
paratively dry condition) to fifty gallons
of rain-water; or three or five pounds
of hen or pigeon -manure to fifty gallons
of water.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

The volBrae of Memorial day business
appears to have been larger than usual.
Carnations were in very heavy demand,
with the supply not quite large enough
to meet all requirements. iTiere was
some complaint of sleepiness. Peonies
were very popular, but in short supply.
All roses were poorer in quality, but
higher in price Tuesday, but peoniea were
accumulating and prices were lower ex-
cept on the fancy grades. The com-
mencement at Bi"yn Mawr college on
Wednesday creat<» a heavy demand for
sweet peas. Beauties, Liberties and val-
ley. Business may be said to be excel-
lent. Outdoor sweet peas are arriving.

Plant Notes.

The last ten days have been days of
great activity in bedding, basket and
decorative plants. It would be absurd
to say that the growers had sold out.
The supply is too large for that to be
literally true, except in isolated cases,
some special size, or variety, or small
places with limited quantity. But the
quantity of plants sold has been most
gratifying. No one looking over the
houses of the growers today could have
any doubt that the people love growing
plants. Their use in gardens, on porches,
at windows and in the cities of the de-
parted is universal. The growers of
pot roses, geraniums, small blooming
plants and others expected this heavy
demand accentuated by the week of
bright, warm weather and have profited
by it to the fullest extent. But L think
the foliage plant growers have been agree-
ably surprised at the strong tide run-
ning in their favor. Many of them feel
that this stock is better sold after the
summer's growth, but it is doubtful pol-
icy to refuse orders that hardly any one
is bold enough to venture. Areca lute-
scens, considered by many a back num-
ber, is experiencing a run on the decora-
tive sizes, while the other standard fol-
iage plants are being sent out as fast as
they round into salable shape.

CLEANING CUCUMBER HOUSES.

Since pests of various kinds aro likely
to increase with the age of the green-
house it is good practice to follow Kome
systematic treatment of the house each
year as a means of prevention. As cu-
cumber houses are usually empty for a
portion of the year it is possible to ap-
ply stringent remedies. We have made
a practice each year of thoroughly fumi-
gating our houses with either burnt sul-
phur or hydrocyanic gaa, or both, before
putting in the crop. We have burned
sulphur at the rate of 200 grams (about
six ounces) to 1,000 cubic feet of ?pace
and hydrocyanic gas at the rate of

25 grams cyanide (nearly 1 os.).
% more by weight of sulphuric acjd.
Vi more by weight of watto than acid.

This amount is suflScient for 100 cubic
feet.

The sulphur treatment is not as expen-
sive as the cyanide, and while the sul-
phur is desirable for some things the
cyanide is better adapted for others.
E/ither of these treatments will efFec-
JJually remove certain pests common to
greenhouses, and we believe it desirable
for growers to practice fumigation meth-
ods.— GrEOBGE E. Stone, in Bulletin of
Hatch Experiment Station.

manure and coarse sand. Good drainage
is essential, for although when growing
water must be given freely, it should be
remembered that a stagnant condition of
the soil will result in yellow and sickly-
looking leaves. As these plants are often
kept for a long time in the same pots,
when grown under cool conditions, small
lumps of charcoal should be well mixed
with the potting soil.

The aspidistra is said to be almost
hardy, and I have seen a number of
plants in a house from which frost was
scarcely excluded. These had a healthy
appearance, but were somewhat stunted
in their growth. For general use they
aro much better grown under warm con-
ditions, especially during the time they
are making growth. The leaves and
stems are then longer, which result in
more graceful specimens being secured.
The most suitable time to repot or di-
vide the plants is just when they are be-
ginning to grow. A little warmth at
this time is most beneficial, as it will
greatly assist the formation of new
roots, and the plants will soon become
established. Abundance of water will be
required during the summer, when
growth is being made, but not much
will be needed during the dark days of
winter. Indeed, many plants are spoilt
by inattention to this particular.

Aspidistras are not much troubled
with insect pests, but when grown in
warm houses, thrips sometimes makes its

ASPIDISTRA LURIDA.

Perhaps no other plant, used generally
for decorative purposes, is better known
than Aspidistra lurida. No doubt this
is owing to its very accommodating na-
ture, as it will grow and flourish under
adverse conditions where many other
plants would succumb. In houses where
gas is used, in smoky districts, or dark
rcoms, it is a most valuable plant, but
it will be scarcely necessary to add that
it will be more satisfactory under better
conditions.

The aspidistra is popularly known as
the parlor palm. Its thick, handsome,
shining leaves, somewhat resemble those
of some kinds of palms, and from the
fact that it flourishes so well in "par-
lors," the name is appropriate. Al-
though the aspidistra will grow in a
poor, light soil, it thrives much better
under generous treatment. A suitable
medium in which to put it is good turfy
loam, leaf-mold, a little well-decayed |

appearance, but can easily be kept at
bay by sponging or syringing periodi-
cally with any approved insecticide.
Used as a window plant, the aspidistra
should have the leaves sponged over once
a week with clean water, to free them
of dust. Or the plants may be stood
outside during a shower of rain, if the
weather be not too cold or windy. The
variegated aspidistra is in every way as
good and useful as the green, it being
purely a matter of taste which one may
like best.

It is fairly well known that aspidistra
flowers appear on the creeping rhizomes,
and seem to "sit upon the soil," so to
speak. There are many who do not rec-
ognize them as flowers, and I have sev-
eral times had them pointed out to me
ah something extraordinary. — Garden-

The Md annual meeting will be held at St. LoulB,
Mo..Juiie.U(M.

Clover seed is rapidly approaching
the usual summer dullness.

The a, a. Berry Seed Co., Clarinda.
la., will build a large warehouse this
season.

Oklahoma Citt, Okla. — Mr. De
Beere, representing the L. A. Budlong
Co., onion set growers, Chicago, has been
_booking orders here.

The Ohio Department of Agriculture
reports that the acreage of clover sown
is ninety-one per cent of the area sown
last year.

The acreage of clover sown in Michi-
gan, compared with 1903, is, in the state
and southern counties eighty-nine, in the
central counties eighty-eight and in the
northern counties ninety-two.

An international committee has been
formed for the purpose of erecting a
memorial at Paris to the late Henri de
Vilmorin. The United States is repre-
sented by Prof. C. S. Sargent, of Arnold
Arboretum, Boston.

Many seed dealers find that poultry
supplies make a very popular side line
and in some instances very large cata-
logue trades have been built up in this
department. The Harvey Seed Co., of
Montgomery, Ala., has found the poultry
department well worth developing.

The English growers are attempting to
rival with the potato the famous tulip
craze in Holland. Seed stock of one or
two new varieties has been sold, literally,
for its weight in gold and now small
plants of the variety Eldorado are selling
at $10 each. And they have a National
Potato Society.

In the three leading lines of canned
vegetables — tomatoes, corn and peas —
our export business, compared to the an-
nual production and home consumption,
is almost insignificant. A few tomatoes
are sent abroad each year, and, of course,
a small quantity of corn and peas; but
our foreign trade in these vegetables is
still in its infancy and will require vig-
orous pushing to develop. And develop-
ment in exports of staple vegetables is de-
sirable to provide wider markets and a
bigger outlet for American canners, and
to carry off a portion of the surplus in
seasons of excessive production.

Toledo, O. — At the Scottwood Green-
house they say that the sale of bedding
plants ha.s been heavier than ever before
and that Decoration day trade was very
good.

RAILROAD LANDSCAPING.

While the necessity of retrenchment,
or some other reason, is prompting a
number of railroads to discontinue their
gardening departments, it is not so with
the Michigan Central. It is nearly
twenty-five years since it took up this
work and last year at the greenhouses
at Niles and Ypsilanti over 200,000
bedding plants and shrubs were grown
for use on the station grounds along
the line. This year the gardening de-
partment has been equally busy, most
of the stock now being planted out.
The Michigan Central also grows large
quantities of cut flowers for its own use.
The Chicago & Northwestern has large
greenhouses at Waukegan, 111., for the
Milwaukee division and at West Chicago
€or the main line, where thousands of
bedding plants and shrubbery have been
grown the past season and are now
planted out along the road. The Bur-
lington is following suit, with its green-
houses at Aurora, and the Illinoifl Cen-
tral is doing more work in this line than
ever before, as its greenhouses at Cham-
pagne have only this season got under
full headway.

Pewaukee, Wis. — Frank Scholl has a
new bouse 18x40 in course of erection.

Norwood Park, III. — Carl Niemann
is starting in here as a carnation grower
and expects to soon build up a good-
sized' range, producing for the Chicago
market. Mr. Niemann was formerly for
some years employed by the west parks
as gardener and was president of the
union.

Valley, Neb. — W. R. Nightengale does
a considerable business in vegetable
plants and says seeds of all kinds have
germinated very irregularly this season.
He is an extensive grower of sweet po-
tato plants and these rotted early in
the spring, but as soon as the weather
cleared they began to sprout fairly well.
He has a large tank and steam pump in
connection with hia hot-beds and can
supply water in any^ quantity. S. B.
Stewart, the Omaha seedsman, handles a
great deal of Mr. Nightengale's output.

Parsons, Kans. — Win. J. Wirt says
that business has been very good this
spring, everybody rushed. He is build-
ing a new rose house, office, storeroom
and workroom.

"The more we advertise in the Re-
view the more we are convinced of its
advertising value. It reaches thef buy-

I GO to the Review, for I have learned
by experience that it is the place to go
for help in time of need; it gives help,
sympathy, comfort and consolation; it
finds buyers and sellers and brings them
together; it keeps us posted in all lines
belonging to the craft, and so I like it.

FROM OUR ENGLISH EXCHANGES.

The Gardeners' Chronicle.

Elliottia racemosa was sent to Eng-
land ten years ago by P. J. Berckmans,
Augusta, Ga., but it succumbed. Two
years ago Mr. Berckmans sent other
plants of it and now to all appearances
J^o of these are wril established at Kew.
The shrub is a native of Georgia, but is
thought not now to occur in a wild state.

Primui^a obconica has shown consid-
erable variation in late years and from
selected seedlings varieties have been ob-
tained that produce larger flowers and

greater variety of color. The culture is
so simple that, in view of the improved
strains now obtainable, it should be more
largely used. If the handling of the
leaves is found to cause irritation of the
skin, the difficulty can be overcome by
the use of gloves.

It is common knowledge that a per-
ceptible deterioration is gradually tak-
ing place in the old-named varieties of
auricula, which continue to be repro-
duced by the detaching of their offsets.
To offset this each grower should eacii
year isolate and cross-fertilize his best
plants. Choose the middle of a fine day
for the pollination, when the trusses are
well developed, using a camel 's hair brusli.
When the seed is ripe preserve it in the
seed vessels in a dry place till early the
following spring. Sow in shallow pans
and place in a hotbed and give careful
attention to ventilation to maintain an
even temperature. This will m^ke germin-
ation more uniform. Harden off the seed-
lings and pot. Be careful about disturb-
ing the roots in repotting and do not
force.

Young plants of bouvardia raised
from cuttings this spring should be
grown in a moist and warm atmosphere,
repotting them when necessary, a final
s'riift into 5-inch pots being sufficient for
spring-struck plants.

The hippeastrum (amaryllis) is now
a decorative plant from every point of
view and affords a great variety of
color. For this reason their popularitv
is increasing, both in greenhouse and
garden, but at the same time it may be
doubted if their beauty and utility are
appraised as highly as they should be.
James Veitch & Sons have cross-bred
these plants very successfully. They are
potted and started into growth in the
middle of February and the pots are

plunged to the rim in tan, which gener-
ate a little warmth that induces root ac-
tion in proportion to growth. Seedlings
average taking three years to flower.
There is now a pure white form.

In repotting cattleyas and laelio-
cattleyas W. H. White, orchid grower to
Sir Trevor Lawren«e, says to make use
of plenty of dry fern rhizome from the
pete as drainage material, especially for
large plants, and over this place a layer
of rough moss or peat to support the
ccmpost, which should consist of fibrous
peat, leaf soil and sphagnum moss in
equal parts, with some silver sand. It is
necessary that those inexperienced in the
use of this potting material should use
crre in watering, as I have found more
plants ruined by over-watering than by
any other cause.

There is much greater danger of over-
manuring than of under-manuring roses
in benches. If there are indications of
over-feeding, sow on the beds some quick-
growing grass, such as Poa annua, that
will take out some of the excess plant
food; also give a Hberal coating of gyp-
sum or quick-lime (slaked), which will
counteract an excess of soluble nitrog-
eneous food.

Place a fevit old plants of Euphorbia
(Poinsettia) pnlcherrima in the stove
house to provide cuttings for an early
batch of plants if required, and afford
them a watering. When the growths are
from three to four inches in length, take
them off with a heel, and insert them
singly in small pots filled with sandy
soil. Afford a watering, and plunge the
pots in the propagating-frame, or on a
hotbed.

A gardener has obtained compensa
tion qt the Gloucester County Court un-
der unusual circumstances. On June 2
last year, while in the act of picking up
loaves from the lawn, his face came in
contact with the point of a leaf of Agave
Americana. The spine entered the ball
of his left eye, inflicting injuries from
which he has not yet recovered. His em-
ployer had insured her servants against
accident, and the company paid the in-
jured man lOs. per week compensation
for a time, discontinuing to do so upon a
medical man having certified that the
gr.rdener was fit for work again. After
hearing counsel on both sides, his honor
awarded claimant lOs. 6d. a week and
half the value of the occupation of the
house, assessed at £16 a year. Richings
was earning £1 Is. per week at the time
of the accident, and had a free house on
the premises.

A BONE MEAL SUIT.

The following is reprinted from the
Journal of Elizabeth, N. J,, for May
25:

The Elizabeth Nursery Co., In a suit now
on In Circuit Court, before Judge Vail, seeks
to recover damages from the Lister Agricultural
Works, of Newark, tor the loss of plants
which the local concern claims was due to a
fertilizer it purdiased of the defendant.

The nursery company has for the past six
jrears made a specialty of rose plants, and four
of its thirteen greenhouses are used for that
purpose alone. In order to enrich the soil the
jiursery company last June directed the Lister
Agricultural Chemical Co. to send it a half
ton of its grade of fertilizer known as Lister's
Pure Raw Bone Meal. When the company
ordered the half ton of fertilizer, it had one
bag and a half of the same brand on hand
left oyer from January previous. This the
company made use of in greenhouse No. 6,
and on receiving the half ton used five of the
six bags in the other three bouses set apart
for rose plants. In each of the four bouses
were 4,500 rose cuttings, making hi all 18,500
plants, and in addition to that there were
10.000 3 and 4-inch pot plants.

George Begg, superintendent of the nursery,
claims that a week after the new fertilizer
liad been used the leaves of the plants began
to turn yellow, and in two weeks they began to
die. while in greenhouse No. 6, where the old
fertilizer had been used, the plants thrived and
Tiot one of them died. That of the 13,500 plants
In the other three houses, 9,600 died, and of
the 10,000 3 and 4-lnch pot plants, only 500
lived. The plalntlfT claims that on havipg
the fertilizer examined it was found to be only
half bone, the remainder muriate of potash,
■which even in exceedingly small proportions.
Is Injurious to rose plants. As a result of their
lo«» the nursery people, instead of sending
out roses this spring, have been bnving in
plants, paying as high as 25 cents a plant, in
-order to restock their houses.

The defense is that the fertilizer sent the
nursery company was the same as prevlonslv
nsed and that when It left the works was
Just what It was represented to be. The loss
to the company is laid to alleged want <f
care.

The defendant Is represented bv McCortP"
Williamson & McCarter. the head of which Is
the attorney-general. Richard V. LlndHhnrv.
and Frederick J. Panlks. of Lindaburg. Depue
& Fanlks, of New York, are looking after the
nursery's interests.

ingr ont flower dealers in the country.

ADZAVTUM CBOWBAHTTM originated at Utica, N.Y..
about fourteen years ago, and bas been extensively grown by
the original owner, Mr. Crowe, who bas received phenomenal
prices for the cut fronds in the New York and other markets

and responds readily to fertilizers. Anyone can grow it and
get good money for it.

MILWAUKEE.

Decoration day trade surpassed all
previous records. Ninety per cent of
the orders called for carnations almost
exclusively and the supply was soon ex-
hausted, when everything else in. salable
shape was cleaned up. There were plen-
ty of roses, jasmines, lilies, peonies,
valley and sweet peas to go around.
Carnations were about the only short-
age. Good prices were realized and even
poor grades of flowers went at fair fig-
ures.

The demand for bedding plants was
very heavy, but the season being unu-
sually late this year much planting is
still to be done.

In the midst of the rush the C. C.
Pollworth Co. received a car load of
palms from Belgium, which came
through in excellent shape.

There was no pickled stock on the
market, as most of the growers had
heavy crops on and the cut was about
the average.

PUEBLO, COLO.

One of the worst hail storms in the
history of Pueblo visited the city on
Friday, May 20. totally destroying every
greenhouse in the city. G. Fleischer,
the largest grower, had almost every
light smashed, as reported in last week's
Review, and his fine stock of pot plants,
between 40,000 and 50,000, almost to-
tally mined, besides his carnations and
roses, which are a complete loss. Mr.
Fleischer had 18,000 feet of glass. .T.
O. Zimmerman, Mrs. Latshaw and Mc-
Mnrray & Wallace suflFered in a similar
way. Mrs. Baker and J. Thomas, vege-
table growers, are just as bad off. At
Fleischer's the hail measured seven
inches in circumference. Big, twisted
lumps of ice with blue centers came
down like Japanese shot and in two
minutes every light in the place was
gone. Fleischer has the finest and most
up-to-date place in this section.

Times have been very dull here this
winter and when there was a little
money in sight down comes the hail
and everything is " N. G. "

W. J. B.

WooDBRiDGE, Fla.— Albert Buckwell
reports that on a recent visit to Orlando
he saw in bloom three male plants of
Cycas reveluta. At Isaac Hopper's place
he found quite a curiosity, a plant which
he describes as having three blooms.
The sago is hardy at Orlando and some
of the plants have as many as 200
leaves.

The Weekly Florists' Review^

June 2. 1904.

DENVER,

Denver seems to have struck a pros-
perous streak. Heretofore the year for
presidential election has invariably been
a. poor one for the florists, but this spring
the people are spending their money
more freely for luxuries and spring trade
has had a very significant increase over

Erevious years. Although stock has not
een up to the standard, the demand for
«xterior house decorations in the line of
porch and window boxes has increased
and some of the florists are catering to
that line of the trade with all the force
they possess.

Memorial day business has been very
good and everything available outside as
Well as indoors has been utilized for
wreath and bunch work. The general
public is getting to use flowers more
■extensively on this occasion and the flor-
ists are kept guessing as to what
they can fill orders with. Many of the
perennials and shrubs have proven quite
a. help in this line of work, particularly
peonies, iris, snowballs and bridal wreath
spiriBa. Mountain- towns at an elevation
of over 7,000 feet have little if any out-
•door flowers and Denver is drawn on
heavily for anything and everything in
the floral line.

Public improvements in the city parks
are going on extensively and Superin-
tendent Graham is looking forward to
•continuous improvements under the newr
municipal administration.

Albert Mauff, who is one of the young-
sters of the profession out here and who
has grown up from childhood in our
midst, has been honored with a seat in
the City Council and the fraternity to
•which he belongs are expecting from him
a forcible representation of the profes-
sion in public affairs pertaining to flori-
culture. Great Divide.

YouNGSTOWN, O. — The order for the
plants for the city bedding was divided
between Walker & McLean, Gus Geng and
Mansfield Milton.

LoRDSTOWN, O. — George Richardson,
the water lily specialist, will have a large
display at the St. Louis World's Fair.
He was in charge of the aquatics at the
CLicago exposition eleven years ago.

Cleveland, O. — Parties interested in
the re-organization of the Grant-Wilson
Floral Co., which has been in the hands
of a receiver for some months are ac-
quiring claims at 50 cents on the dollar,
through Attorney C. W. Fuller.

KRAMER'S POT HANGERS.

Neatest, simplest, most
eonvenlent and only practi-
cal device for converting
ordinary flower pots into
hanging baskets. They fit
all standard made pots from
2 to 10 Inches in diameter.

they are attached. Just the
thing for hanging up Ferns,
Begonias, etc. Tou can make
room and money by their
use Try them.

GREENHOUSE INSURANCE.

-m&..

pM]i)i)iiUi)tiWWUi){HMMin^

"It isn't 80 very long ago that an
insurance man would shy clear across the
street when he saw the word 'green-
liouse,'" said Henry W. Magill, of the
Phoenix of Hartford, in. a recent con-
versation, **and> even now they prick
up their ears when the word appears."
"Up to the last few years the ex-
perience of every company writing
greenhouse property was the reverse of
satisfactory; the construction was faul-
ty, the hazard great, and in consequence
rates were so high as to be almost pro-
hibitive, say from three to five per cent,
Avhile many risks were refused alto-
gether. That most companies are now
writing more greenhouse insurance than
heretofore, and at materially lower rates,
is due entirely to improved methods of
construction. And even now in the gen-
eral offices of most insurance compa-
nies greenhouse risks are accepted with
reluctance and only in limited amount;
for instance the Phoenix will write no
more than $1,500 on any one range even
under the most favorable circum-
stances. ' '

"I doubt if any of the representative
companies would care to go on record
as looking for greenhouse business,"
said the chief examiner in the general
office of one of the big Brooklyn com-
panies and, withal, one of the most lib-
eral. ' * Yet they ar« all writing more
or less of such risks, because of im-
proved conditions, and it may safely
be set down that where a greenhouse
owner cannot get insurance through the
agents in his own town it is because of
conditions which make that particular
risk one of extra hazard."

January 23, 1903, the Chicago Under-
writers' Association issued a new sched-
ule on greenhouse property which was
equivalent ' to a reduction in rates of
about thirty-three and one-third per
cent, "because of the better character
of the buildings and greater attention
to those matters which have to do with
the reduction of the hazard," says H.
H. Glidden, manager of the association,
which is a clearing house for all in-
surance business in Cook county and
the counterpart of many similar associa-
tions throughout the United States.

It must be understood that insurance
practices are pretty much the same
throughout the United States but that
rates are variable. For instance, the
rates in general increase slightly from
cast to west, because of what insurance
men call the "moral hazard," it being
argued that the farther west one goes
the greater is the inclination of the
people toward speculative enterprise and
other things calculated to upset the
mathemati^ principles on which the in-
surance business is conducted. Then,
too, rates vary in different communities
wcaiise of the expense of doing business,
i>e(ause of good or inefficient fire protec-
tion and for other reasons. But of far
greater importance in influence on the
cost of insurance are the details which
oontribute to the increase or decrease
of what^ the insurance riian calls the
"liazaid" in each individual case. In

cases of this kind the agent has no pre-
determined rate, as he has for dwell-
ings, stores, etc., but the rate is fixed
by the rating officer of the district ac-
cording to the conditions of each in-
dividual case as reported by the inspec-
tor.

It therefore behooves every florist to
examine his greenhouse plant with a
view to remedying those conditions which
are making his insurance more costly
than is necessary, or perhaps prevent-
ing his getting his risk accepted by any.
reliable company.

While, as has been said, details vary
in different localities, principles are the
same and a study of the schedule in use
by the Chicago Underwriters' Associa-

the superintendent sends out a surveyor,
or inspector, who reports on all details
of construction and any fact of condi-
tions not shown on the map. On his
report the rate is based.

It will be noted that the boiler must
"be safely set in a brick room." Fail-
ure to observe this point is likely to
make the rate prohibitive or to result
in causing the risk to be declined alto-
gether. If the houses have brick wails,
iron gutters or iron bars the rate may
be reduced accordingly. Proper clear-
ance of steam pipes is required in all
cases, also safe lighting. Then the basis
for the rate is $1, that is, one per cent
of the amount of the policy, provided
there be not over 10,000 feet in the
range. If over 10,000 feet the rate is
3 cents higher for each additional 5,000
feet.

If the boiler is in a frame building,
or if in the main building, the rate is
advanced 25 cents on each $100 of in-
surance. If the stack is of metal and
passes through the roof the rate goes
up 15 cents more and if the steam pipes
have not proper clearance from wood

tion for a rating on unrated property

another 15 cents is added. Tliese charges
seem well grounded, for the history "of
greenhouse fires shows that practically all
originate in the boiler shed, and it is
only the part of prudence to go to some
little expense to fireproof it. Indeed!
in many places recently built, especial-
ly in the east, the heating plant is in a
detached fireproof building.

Practically all greonhouBes have a
hose instantly available; if not other
protection must be provided or the rate
goes up another 25 cents. If the green-
houses are outside the public fire pro-
tection the rate is increased at the dis-
cretion of the superintendent. If used
for any other purpose than as a green-
house the rate increases, a stable at-
tached costing not less than 25 cents
each year on each $100 of insurance^

In the matter of exposures the florist
frequently has no control, but he can at
least see that his own stable and other
outbuildings are a safe distance from
the greenhouses. Buildings across a
sixty-foot street may or may not be
counted as exposures according to wheth-
er or not they are of themselves poor
fire risks. But buildings close to a
greenhouse, as on the same lot, adjoin-
ing or across an alley, add to the haz-
ard. Instance governs, but of course a
blacksmith shop is a greater danger

than an ice house, a stable worse than
a dwelling. In any event the rating of-
ficer adds to the premium charge accord-
ing to his discretion.

The rate on the contents of green-
house structures is, according to this
schedule, in all cases to be $1 higher
than on the buildings themselves.

The Chicago Underwriters' Associa-
tion has published for its members a
list of ratings on many classes of build-
ings and on many large properties, in-
cluding several greenhouse plants. The
rate on the Peter Eeinberg greenhouse
establishment, figured on this schedule, is
$2.15 per annum per $100 of insurance,
a rate materially lower than in com-
paratively recent years and a rate
which Mr. Eeinberg will still farther
reduce this year by. virtue of the excel-
lent methods of construction he is em-
ploying in rebuilding the seventeen
houses in the oldest section of his plant.

THE USE OF BONE MEAL.

The question of bone flour as a fer-
tilizer for rose culture under glass is
at the present time a very pertinent
one, as the majority of growers will
within the month be using it in large
quantities.

Containing, as it does, many of the
elements necessary to plant life and
which roses in Uieir confined quarters
are debarred from seeking for them-
selves, it should be ofl'ered to the plants
in as pure and assimilable form as pos-
sible. That pure bone flour when prop-
erly applied, is beneficial is without
question, but how to secure the pure ar-
ticle is another question, and that the
adulterated article, or the pure bone cut
by poisonous acids is in every way un-
fit for this work is also unquestioned.

There are few rose growers who have
been long enough in the business to
show the silver threads in their locks,
where any are left, but have had some
unpleasant experience with these raw or
low grade fertilizers and from such ex-
perience have learned to exercise caution
even with the best recommended article.
That caution is necessary is evidenced
by the fact that there are still brands
on the market which even in the hands
of experts cannot be used with safety.

Some years ago I had the misfortune
to handle a consignment of just such
stuff and had the mortification of see-
ing my young stock shed the whole of
their leaves within a week after being
planted. A complaint to the firm sup-
plying the material elicited the stereo-
typed reply that the material was of
the same grade as formerly supplied
and insinuated, of course, that the
whole trouble was in the careless man-
ner in which it had been applied. On
reviewing the matter I could not see
how it could, if of the same grade, act
so differently on the plants when used
in the same manner and quantities as
formerly. Not being in a position to
fight such a strong corporation I had
to grin and bear it. I am glad, however,
to see that one firm, the Elizabeth Nur-

sery Co., of Elizabeth, N. J., who have
had a similar experience, had the temer-
ity to bring the question to an issue.
The outcome of the case in their favor
is of much importance to the trade.

Where the gases have no means of
escape but must accumulate when the
ventilators are shut, especially prepared
bone should be secured from some re-
liable house in our own trade, as many
of these chemical preparations from gen-
eral fertilizer works, while safe enough
when applied to field crops, where the
gases can escape freely, are simply fatal
when applied to greenhouse crops.

As a matter of safety I have for years
provided the supply of this material
some months previous to using, thus
giving ample time to allow the delete-
rious gases to escape and during that
period have had no trouble even when
using it in large proportions.

While exercising as much care as pos-
sible to secure the pure article every oth-
er precaution should be used to elim-
inate the element of danger before ap-
plying it to the stock. Ribes.

THE ROSE BEETLE.

The rosebud curculio occurs very com-
monly on wild and cultivate'd roses in
many parts of the country. The beetles
are rather shy when discovered, and
though their movements are not quick,
they soon disappear under a leaf or stem
when a person approaches. In common
with many other insects, they have the
habit of drawing in their legs when in
danger and allowing themselves to drop
to the earth, where they remain motion-
loss for a short time, or until the dan-
ger has passed.

The colors found on the beetle are red
and black. The wing covers, which make
up the greater part of the upper surface
of the body, and the thorax (prothorax)
are red. while the head, including the
beak or snout, the antennae, the legs, and
the entire under surface of the body
are black. F. H.' Chittenden, assistant
entomologist in the United States De-

partment of Agriculture, reports that ii)
Colorado specimens are found in which
the greater part of the head, legs and
antennae are red, like the upper surface
ol the body.

The beak or snout is long and slender,
as indicated in the accompanying illus-
tration (a and d). The antennae are
club-shaped and are attached near the
middle of the snout, one on each side.
The mouth parts are situated on the
extreme end of the beak, and are made
up of a number of pieces, the most for-
midable of which are the mandibles,
which are toothed on both the inner and
outer edge. The mouth parts viewed
from beneath are illustrated (g). Ex-
clusive of the beak the beetle measures a
little less than one-fourth of an inch in
length.

The injuries for which the species is
responsible are done by the adult or bee-
tle, and so far as is known by the writer,
the larva does no harm to the plant in
aEv way. The principal injury accom-
plished by the beetle is done by boring
small, deep holes into the buds. Many
holes are often bored into a single bud.
Though such a bud may open, the result-
ing rose is of no value. Other buds
cease to develop when eaten into, and
soon wither and dry up. The beetles also
bore holes into the stems of the roses at
right angles to the axis. Buds affected
in this way wilt, and hang from the
stems, and later dry.

Complaints of the injuries caused by
(his beetle have reached the Experiment
Station from various parts of the statr.
The injuries are scarcely less serious and
extensive than tnose of the rose chafer
(Macrodactylus subspinosus), m the
eastern states, and a number of cases
have come under the writer's attention
in which persons have given up an at-
tempt to grow roses on account of the
injuries of this insect. Various writers
have reported it as a troublesome pest on
roses in widely separated parts of the
United States. It occurs in the north-
ern tier of states from ocean to ocean
and as far south as Mexico.

The beetles appear early in June and
continue until the latter part of August.
The eggs are deposited in various places.
Most of those found by the writer were
in the buds, either in the unexpanded
petals or in the young fruit. One egg
was found in the tender extremity of a
new cane and one in a cynipid gall. In
all cases the eggs were found in the
hcles made with the beak, and were
p.aced well down in the holes, below
the surface. The form of the eggs is
shown (c). They are semi-transparent
and almost colorless. The egf^ hatch
m a few days, probablv about a week
or ten days. We have never been able t..
find larvae except in the rose hip or fruit,
and this is doubtless the normal plac^'
for their development.

The larva or grub (b) is yellowish
^hite, with- a rosy tint, and instead of
being straight has the back arched. It
has no legs. The head and mouth parts
viewed from above are shown (f) We
have never found the larvte in abun-
dance. A large plant bearing manv bins
seldom has more than two infested fniits.
though many have the external mark that
would indicate them to be infested.

The grubs finish feeding and disap-
pear early in October.

In many cases hand picking is all that
IS necessary to get relief from the in-
juries caused by this pest. In a previous
paragraph we have mentioned the fact

that when disturbed the beetles drop to
the ground. Taking advantage of this,
one can catch the beetles by holding a
pan containing kerosene underneath and
causing the beetles to drop.

Under some conditions hand picking
is a futile measure. When the cultivated
roses to be protected are in the vicinity
of wild roses which breed the beetles
year after year, it will probably be use-
less to attempt hand picking. It is said
that a spray of Paris green will kill
the beetles.— R. A. Cooley, in Bulletin
of Montana Experiment Station.

RENEWING THE BENCH SOIL.

Some! weeks ago an inquiry was sent
to the Review by an eastern professor
who is rightly considered a high author-
ity on matters pertaining to horticul-
ture, particularly on soils, the most ini-
lK>rtant of all. The question was about
like this: "Why do florists consider it
necessary to change or renew the soil
on their benches every year, for the
important crops, for instance, roses,
carnations and chrysanthemums?" I
regret very much that I cannot quote
the exact text of the question, yet it
makes little diflference whether the ques-
tion was "Why do they?" or "Why do
they not?" Tie delay in answering is
because the writer desired to have the
opinions and views of men of large ex-
])erience and of some who could speak
from a knowledge of the chemistry of
the soil.

Ask about ninety per cent of all the
growers of greenhouse flowers of our
staple kinds why they put fresh soil
on their benches annually and the an-
swer would be, if cornered to explain:
''Well, I don't know, but it seelns to
me it is worn out, in poor condition,
and I should be sorry to trust it the
second year." These men answer with-
out any specific knowledge, more on gen-
eral principles, what they havel always
done and what their fathers have done,
and they are largely right.

At the inception and birth of the
American Carnation Society, at Phila-
delphia some years ago the question of
renewing the soil on carnation benches
was brought up and the writer was as-
tonished to hear several growers from
what was then known as the carnation
belt, Chester county, Pa., (the belt,
like the gulf stream, has deviated of late,
spreading north, east and west till you
would scarcely recognize the! belt unless
it was labeled) stand up and say that
they did not change the sml for four
or five years and did not think there
was any necessity for doing so. Soil
that has been used for one season, say
for carnations, removed in June and
allowed to remain out of doors the fol-
lowing winter and in the spring turned
over and replenished with manure,
lx)ne, ashes or other fertilizers would,
in ray opinion, be entirely different from
soil that simply had the growing crop
yemoved and after a few days worked
into the proper condition, with manure
added, and then a new crop planted.

It may be possible with some of our
flowers to restore to the soil all that
is essential to their growth and vigor,
yet I don't know what they are. It is
a temptation, when short of time and
nuterial, to use the same old soil, or
part of it, as we have done and if the
result was fairly good ypu would be
t*3o apt to persuade yourself that , old
"^"il was good enough, forgetting that

with equal care and all other conditions
your carnations or chrysanthemiuns
might have been much better. In the
case of roses let me repeat the retnark
of a first-class rose grower. "We threw
out our soil as usual and spread it out
and seeded it to grass. Three or four
years afterwards the boss says, 'Barney,
that ought to be good enough.' I say,
"No, boss, I don't think so.' However,
we did use it and our roses were very
poor. It won't do. Give me soil that
never grew roses."

A few of the principal reasons against
using soil on our benches the second
year are:

1. The plants have, from the limited
amount of soil given them, taken from
the soil the essential elements that nour-
ish their growth. It may be possible
to restore the elements artificially, but
who could tell without a scientific analy-
sis whether it was potash or phosphorous
or ammonia that was needed?

2. By our treatment of the soil on
the benches we have put it in the poor-
est mechanical condition. All vestige
of fibre is gone and, although it is quite
easy, with proper management, to put
it again in a good working condition,
it is too friable and lifeless for any of
our important crops.

3. All our winter blooming bench
crops are subject to many and varied
diseases, such as fungi, rust, bacteria
and insects. The spores and eggs of all
these find a natural resting place in the
soil and you can't expect to escape any-
thing but a battle against them when
you begin again with a young army
ready to fight.

The above three reasons may not be
conclusive in some people's opinion, but
I must say, both from experience and
observation, that it is unwise in the ex-
treme to use the soil the second year
on our shallow benches for either roses,
carnations, chrysanthemums or violets.
The farmer and market gardener ro-
tates his crops even where he has the
blessings of frost and snow and the nat-
ural atmosphere. How much more es-
sential is it for us to use fresh soil
Where our conditions are most artificial,
where we drench the beds continually
with water and endeavor to extract from

the) soil and ptit into the plant all wet
possibly can. , Williau Scott.

BEDDING GERANIUMS.

Please answer us this question through
the columns of the Review. What are
the best bedding sorts of geraniums, all
colors? I. 8. C.

I am inclined to think that an author-
ity like the E. Gr. Hill Co., who import
all the new varieties annually and doubt-
less give them a trial before sending
them out, could give you a more up-to-
date list of desirable zonale bedding
geraniums. The Frenchmen and some
English firms send out every year many
varieties, yet, like the chrysanthemums
and carnations and other florists' flow-
ers, the g^eat majority fall by the way-
side and if there are one or two novel-
ties of sterling merit in a year it is
all w^ expect. Zonale geraniums (pelar-
goniums, as they are properly called in
Europe) are largely grown there for con-
servatory decoration and for that pur-
pose many of the single varieties are
most beautiful, but useless for our pur-
pose as summer bedding plants. Here is
a short list of varieties that can be de-
pended on to grow and bloom with great
success the entire season.

S. A. Nutt, dark scarlet; Le Soleil.
dark scarlet. These are very aUke, yet
I think Le Soleil is a little the better
and the flnest all-around zonale we grow
and the public seems to like that shade
better than any. Alphonse Bicard, a
light scarlet, splendid floret and truss;
John Doyle, bright scarlet, a little dark-
er than Ricard; Frances Perkins, the
best of all pinks. This has entirely
superseded the old favorite Emile de
Girardin. Beauty Poitevine, a beauti-
ful salmon; Glorie de Paris, a peach
blossom pink, good for vases; La Fa-
vorite, a very free flowering white;
Ernest Louth, a very old, but fine va-
riety not unlike the color of Lawson car-
nation; Countess de Harcourt, a very
fine white; Marquis de Castellane, a
grand red; Jean Viaud.

This latter is such a splendid flower
at selling time that I havfi added it. to
tlie list, yet it is with us rather disap-
pointing when used as a bedder, not

flowering freely enough. All of the
above are semi-double. Our experience
is that if we have 30,000 geranium^ in
4-inch pots in the spring, about half of
them ought to be S. A, Nutt of Le
Soleil. Nine people out of ten, if they
want a red or scarlet, will say "that's
my color." If your patronage consists
of a good many old ladies who love

posies and like to select a dozen gerani-
ums you may need to grow twenty or
thirty varieties, but if you cart them
to the market by the wagon load or fill
flower beds that may take 150 plants of
one variety, then about half a dozen
of the very best varieties will suflice
and you have less to think about and
will grow them better. W. S.

COLOR HINTS —m.

Harmony and Window Work.

Two or more colors to be harmonious
must warm up to each other, seem to
run into each other, not bluntly but
easily and softly, without any very dis-
tinct line of connection. Here is an-
other way to tell whether there is a con-
nection between two colors: If unable
to trace the coloring with a true eye,
observe the colored shadow which the
darker or more brilliant color throws
upon the lighter. If the shadow seems
to develop the same color in the lighter,
you have found the harmony. If on
the other hand, there is no tuning up as
it were, in the lighter or if the shade
or brilliant color becomes dulled, there
is no harmony.

All this may not sound very much
like shop talk but, viewed in the best
sense, is valuable. Color harmony is at-
tractive, whether people are conscious of
it or not. The rudest, as well as the
cultured, are influenced by it. A knowl-
edge of color is certainly very practical
for the florist. A finely colored win-
dow, other things being equal, cannot
help but attract. I have seen windows
piled up in tiers with quantities of
valuable stock, massed in with a total
disregard of the fighting qualities of
salmon pink crowded against scarlet,
backed up with purple and orange and
flanked with an array of jardinieres ter-
rible to contemplate. One quarter of
this material wisely used would serve
a better purpose and spare the eyesight
of the onlookers.

In Decorating.

Don't be afraid of brilliant coloring
and striking contrasts. The lack of
such taste is no sign of an artist, but
be careful how you combine. In view-
ing a room to plan for a decoration, al-
ways consider first the colors of the fin-
ishings and furnishings. If you find a
room in oriental reds and blues, use
delicate pink; if terra cotta, use yellow
and cream ; if mahogany color, use green
lilaerally; if cherry or black walnut or
ebony, use pink, or pink and rich cream ;
if light green, use rose pink as seen in
Lawson carnations, scarlet or crimson.
There should be some sort of connection
between the background color, as in a
wall, and the material with which we
decorate the room.

But do not let the colors be very near
alike. For instance, I once went to put
up a wedding decoration of wild smifax,
and to my dismay found that the walls

were green, almost the color of the
smilax. The smilax never would show
on a background so very much like its
own color. The only thing to do was
to manufacture a lighter background. So
I called for a plain lace net curtain and
stretched it on the wall first. This
lightened the sober green of the wall,
and at the same time made enough of
a contrast to bring out the coloring and
graceful design of the smilax sprays,
while there was yet enough of the green
of the background still apparent to es-
tablish the connection and the harmony.

G>Iots for Funeral Work.

For elderly people, there are no more
appropriate colors than purple, crimson,
dark blues and rich deep greens. For
younger people, light violet and pink
should predominate, with light yellow.
For children, use white with a sugges-
tion of pink, in small delicate flowers,
not forgetting the softening efl'ect of
fine cut light green foliage.

In selecting the color for a funeral
design, follow the natural coloring as
far as possible. Why shouldn't a heart
be crimson rather than white, or a cross
of some warm color? A pillow may be
well worked out in white and green,
while a shield should be red, white and
blue, of course. An anchor always
works out well in pink as suggestive of
its sentiment. A wreath or a basket
perhaps admits of as wide a range of
coloring as any design commonly made.

A COLORADO ESTABLISHMENT.

The accompanying illustrations will
give an idea of the character of the
establishment of William Henry Evans>
of Colorado Springs, Colo. One of the
photographs shows the office and sales
room with a glimpse of the greenhouse
range showing in the rear. The other
illustration is from a photograph taken
in a house of miscellaneous stock, the
dimensions of the structure being 30x90.
The photograph was taken just before
Easter. There are about 25,000 square
feet of glass in the establishment and,
as they are having a considerable de-
mand from wholesale customers, they
are now adding two more houses and
hope before long to double their ca-
pacity. Edward Johnson is the green-
house manager. The houses supply the
retail store of the Colorado Springs
Floral Co., of which Mr. Evans is presi-
dent and Wm. S. McCartney treasurer.

STEM ROT OF ASTERS.

Asters are grown from seed sown un-
der glass in early spring or in the open
ground later in the season. The young
plants are pricked out into pots, flats or
cold frames when large enough and
later set out in the open bed. They
flourish well in almost any soil, but re-
spond in a marked degree to an in-
creased amount of fertility. Their best
development is obtained in a moderate-
ly moist, well-drained soil, rich in or-
ganic matter and plant food.

This plant has suffered in recent years
to a marked extent from a variety of
troubles, which have in some cases
caused its abandonment by professional
growers, says Ralph E. Smith in a bul-
letin of the Hatch Experiment Station.
One of the worst diseases and one which
makes its appearance sometimes within
a few days after planting may be called
"wilt" or "stem rot," and is now per-
haps the most common and destructive
disease of the aster. It has been known
for some time but has greatly increased
in abundance during the past few years,
being more generally prevalent during
the summer of 1901 than ever before.
Professor Galloway states that it is
caused by a fungus which enters the
plant near the surface of the ground
and fills up the water vessels of the
stem, thus causing the plant to wilt and
finally die.

This disease is readily recognized by
one familiar with it. It first appears
soon after the plants are set out in the
bed and is generally pre^•alent from that

time on throughout the season, but is
most noticeable at two periods, the set-
ting of the plants and the time of
blooming. Complaints of this trouble
are most abundant from the latter part
of July to the middle of August, as it is
during this period that most of it ap-
pears.

Those who examine closely find that
the stem of the plant just at the surface
of the ground is badly rotted and evi-
dently the seat of the dificulty, the hard
inner woody portion only remaining.
This, however, is the final stage of the
disease, which may be recognized much
earlier. Its effects are always seen first
upon one side of the plant, usually in
one of the lower leaves and almost al-
ways in one-half of the leaf. Here the
normal color begins to turn to a dull
yellowish green. Soon this is apparent
up and down the whole length of the
plant, but still on one side, a wilting,
fading, "blighting" effect. At the top
of the plant the leaves on the affected
side are somewhat smaller than the
others, while further down they gradu-
ally droop and die away. The whole ap-
pearance is very characteristic, one side
of the plant having the dull-green, wilted,
blighted appearance with only one-
half of many of the leaves affected at
first. When the disease is prevalent
many plants take on this appearance
and die soon after being set out in the
bed. Often a large lot will be a total
loss before developing a bloom. In other
cases plants in which the symptoms are
apparent, but not so strongly marked,
will throw out branches, form buds and
develop a few feeble flowers before en-
tirely perishing. Again it is very com-
mon for plants which appear healthy up
to the time of blooming to throw out
a normal crop of flowers, then suddenly
show the characteristic blight, wilt and
dry up in a very short time. In all
these cases the disease is the same.

If affected plants in the earlier
stages of the disease are pulled up and
examined no indication of injury can be
seen except in the wilted, dying lower
leaves. The roots and stem appear per-
fectly sound and healthy. It is only on
cutting open the stem, just at the surface
of the ground, that the seat of the
trouble is found. Here will be found a
dark discoloration in the outer edge of
the harder, woody portion of the stem,
where it joins the soft "bark" which
covers it. At first this is only a small
spot on the affected side, but may al-
ways be found when the exterior symp-
toms have begun to appear. This dis-
coloration spreads around and up the
stem, always in the woody portion at
first, but finally the soft outer part is
affected and rots away, leaving the
wood intact, though it was the first
portion to be attacked.' By this time
the plant is dead so that if first exam-
ined at this stage the stem is found in
the condition described.

The cause of this trouble may readily
be found with the microscope. This is
soon to the best advantage in a plant in
the earlier stages of the disease where
the outer green cortex of the stem is still
sound. By examining a thin section of
the discolored woody portion it will be
sw^n that the discoloration is confined
mostly to the large vessels or pores
through which the water passes up from
the roots. These are still intact and
"nin.iured, but in the interior of most of
those which are already"" affected as

seen a mass of fungous growth which
completely plugs up the opening and
evidently prevents the free passage of
water or sap through the vessel.

The important question now arises,
where does this fungus come from and
how does it attack tae plant f The so-
lution of this point underlies the whole
problem of preventing or treating the
disease. A particular case may be de-
scribed. In the spring of 1900 we
planted a large amount of aster seed
in flats in a greenhouse. The seed was
planted quite thickly, so that the plants
after coming up stood very close to-
gether in the rows. A long period of
wet, cloudy weather followed and soon
the trouble known as ' * damping off ' '
set in quite abundantly. As soon as
possible the plants were pricked out, sav-
ing only the best. Many more rotted
off after this, so that when the perma-
nent beds were set out on June 8 many
varieties were very poorly represented.
It was noticeable in the flats that many
plants showed a 'trouble, evidently a
continuation of the^ damping off in the
seed bed. In many cases, however, an
apparent recovery took place. In some
lots of badly affected seedlings almost
every plant showed at the time of prick-
ing out a small dark spot on the stem,
from which the rotting proceeded. In
those which appeared to recover a cal-
lus tissue grew over this spot, becom-
ing a sort of scab and appearing to
check the decay of the stem. By care-
fully following the individual plants it
was found that these were the plants
which showed the wilt disease after be-
ing set out. The fungus in all these
cases was the same. This is an import-
ant point, namely, that the disease was
contracted in the seed bed as a result of
conditions which favor damping off.

Acting upon this idea comparisons
were constantly made oetween plants
started in the greenhouse which damped
off more or less and those which were
started in the open ground and kept in
vigorous gjpowth from the first. The de-
velopment of individual plants and typi-
cal lota 'Of plants, affi^tea and unaf-
fected, Was carefully followed up, witli
the result that in every case where

plants died from stem rot after being set
out in the bed, even though in many in«
stances no trouble showed itself until
the time of blossoming, the disease came
from the seed bed and was not con-
tracted by healthy plants after being
set out in the field.

Our own plants have been started
each year in the same house, the same
flats and possibly to some extent in the
same soil. It 'seemis almost certain that
the germs of this fungus are thoroughly
established here; at any rate the trouble
lias steadily increased from none in 1899
to almost every plant in 1901, whue
each year plants started out of doors,
set out in the same beds and often in
ground occupied by diseased plants the
previous year have shown no trouble oil
this sort whatever. The past season
when the greenhouse-started plants were
almost all killed sooner or later by the
stem rot, our large bed presented a most
instructive appearance. At one end was
a large block of plants started out of
doors. Here and there through the bed
were a few other rows of similar plants.
The rest of the field had been set with
greenhouse plants. By the time that
blooming was well under way scarcely a
plant remained alive in the whole bed
except in the portions set with outdoor
plants, and here not a single plant
showed this blight.

Plainly the avoidance of this disease
lies in starting with healthy plants,
grown out of doors or in cold frames,
rather than in the greenhouse where the
conditions are more favorable to damp-
ing off. Of course many good plants
are started in greenhouses, but the dis-
ease is rapidly increasing in prevalence
and appears to start almost invariably
from such conditions. Plants started out
of doors are insured against this
trouble, and, though perhaps a little
later, may easily be brought to full de-
velopment at the normal season.

As regards time of blooming there is
no marked advantage in obtaining very
early plants, with the possible exception
of Queen of the Market and similar ex-
tra early varieties. Plant the seed in
good soil out of doors as early as the
ground can be thoroughly worked, in a

place where asters have never grown be-
fore. Thin out the young plants if nec-
essary, transplant to the permanent bed
as soon as they are large enough and
when conditions are favorable, and, so
far as stem rot is concerned, no trou-
ble need be feared.

ASPARAGUS PLUMOSUS.

Will some one please tell me through
the Review why my seeds of Aspara-
gus plumosus nanus germinate so slow-
ly this year? I have never let the beds
get dry and am very careful not to over-
water them. I am also careful not to
let a crust form on the soil. I keep
the temperature as near 80 degrees as

Jiossible. I planted the seed one inch
eep in rather poor field soil, well sifted
and the beds get the sun all day. The
seeds were planted the last week in
March. S. B. R.

You may have had the bad luck to
get hold of poor seed, too ancient to
germinate. The best advice I can give
you now is to remove all that poor soil
that you smothered the seed with, take
it off and try and leave only just> enough
to cover the seed. Next time you sow
asparagus first procure it of sAme good,
reliable firm. Soak the seed for twen-
ty-four hours in warm water. Then sow
it evenly on a smooth surface and cover
■with sifted sod, just enough to cover
the seeds. There is no need of the hades
temperature of 80 degrees; 60 degrees
is plenty warm enough, and don't let
the sun shine till the young plants are
well up through the soil. Quality of
soil would make no difference to the
starting of the seed, but why not choose
a light loam, made bettet still with the
addition of sifted leaf-mold or very
decayed manure? W. S.

ADIANTUM CROWEANUM.

The fact that Peter Crowe, of Utica,
who had been very successful at rose
growing, found it profitable to give up
that line to devote! his time entirely to
adiantum has no doubt had its effect
upon the sale of the variety which is
identified with his name and which is
shortly to be distributed to the trade by
Wm. F. Kasting, of Buffalo. The va-
riety Crowe?anum originated in a batch
of Adiantum cuneatum which Mr. Crowe
purchased a good many years ago from
Alex Montgomery, at Waban Rose Con-
servatories, Natick, Mass. It is natural-
ly of slower reproduction than a rose or
carnation and Mr. Crowe has been many
years working up a stock and selling
the cut fronds in the! wholesale mar-
kets of New York, Philadelphia, Buffalo
and Boston. He found it a much better
seller than the old cuneatum and Mr.
Kasting in handling the cut fronds recog-
nized it as a most valuable novelty. He
therefore) made a contract with Mr.
Crowe for the purchase of a portion of
the stock, with certain reservations as
to the time in which he might be the
sole distributor. Mr. Kasting has ap-
pointed a number of the leading seed
and plant houses throughout the country
as general agents for his novelty and

DORCHESTER, MASS.

Death of L. H. Foster.

Lucius H. Foster died at his home here
May 31 after an illness of several months.
He suffered an apoplectic stroke last fall
but was thought to be gaining until re-
cently, when his condition took a turn
for the worse. Mr. Foster was in the
prime of life. The last time he waa seen
by the majority of his friends in the
trade was at the S. A. F. meeting at
Milwaukee, when he appeared in the most
robust health and good for many years
to come. His death, though not imex-
pected since his illness, comes as a
shock. Mr. Foster had a large business
and was widely known in the trade, his
name being associated with the nephrol-
epis, Anna Foster, named for his wife,
sent out from his establishment a couple
of years ago.

Lucius H. Foster was born in Dor-
ehester, Mass., 57 years ago and was the
son of Joseph Warren Foster, one of thn
pioneer market gardeners of New Eng-
land in the early 40 's. He was educated
in the public schools of Boston and
graduated from the high school with high
honors and was always interested, even
when quite young, in plants and flow-
ers, receiving good, solid instruction in
floriculture from his father, which proved
a great benefit to him in after
years. Mr. Foster will be re-
membered as a partner in the firm
of Calder & Otis Co., of Boston, not
many years ago and also as a florist at
Saratoga, N. Y., several years ago. Al-
ways looking to improve his knowledge
in floriculture he started in business for
himself, taking his brother as a partner
and renting the greenhouses from their
father, making a success of their busi
ness by constapt attention, honest deal-
ings and upright manhood, which ad-
vanced him to the top of the ladder in the
florist business, which he loved. He will
be remembered as being the first man to
tirow the old Bon Silene rose on its own
roots in this country, receiving the high-
est price for that rose that was ever
heard of up to that time. He will be
remembered as the violet king of tho
east, only a few years ago being one of
the largest growers of Marie Louise
violets in New England, of which few are
grown here now, and only a few years
.ago he was acknowledged the king pin
grower of the Daybreak carnation on
which he received several prizes, and for
the past eight years he has been the
largest .grower of Boston ^erns in the

east and nothi»g.but praise can be said
of his stock. And, again, he is originator
of the prize Tvinning Anna Foster fern, ot
which we all know and hear so much,
having named it after his beloved wife
now deceased. Mr. Foster was at one
time president of the Florists' and Gar-
deners ' Club of Boston and also a member
of the Massachusetts Horticultural So-
ciety. He leaves one daughter. Miss
E4ith P. Foster, for whom the: well
known Edith P. Foster carnation is
named. Mr. Foster was a man of broad
views and was always willing to help
',an<^ advance others, instructing his hire
to do the 9ame and by hii? death the
trade has lost a noWe soul, one we could
look to as an example in education for
the future advancepient of the many in
our profession. He fought a good fight
but still livM in our memory.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

Business has been disappointing since
Thursday of last week. The hot weather
of Saturday, Sunday and Monday took
life out of the flowers and out of the
flower lovers as well. Locally things
were decidedly flat. They revived some-
what by the middle of the week, the de-
mand being more brisk. The encourag-
ing feature of the market is the out of
town demand. There were many good
shipping orders early in the week. Leo
Niessen had some laTge orders for choice
Beauties, Brides and Maids, which are
not nearly so plentiful since the last
hot wj|ve. Some exceptionally fine
Bridesnoaids have been coming in from
Westerfy, B. I., to S. S. Pennock who gets
much choice stock from growers in that
locality. These flowers were so fine they
readily brought 121^ cents, or about dou-
ble the market price.

Carnations are not particularly good
stock now. There are some really' fine
flowers and some sleepy looking and sour
smelling bunches that are not a credit
to the grower or dealer. Many of these
go to waste and some are offered with
better stuff by the street men at 5 cents
a dozen retail. Sweet peas are in fine
form. The outdoor flowers, pot grown
or frame protected, are in crop. C. E.
Meehan was one of the first to have
them in quantity. The price is, of
course, lower but they sell well. Valley
has been selling for the weddings, as
also the orchids obtainable. Leo Nies-
sen had bluets, or cornflowers, last week.
Lilies, which were rather poor stock at
Decoration day, went a shade better for
the weddings. Callas do not seem to be
wanted now.

Last, but not least, peonies. They are
in their glory but unfortunately they
are tremendously in excess of the demand
and many are wasted and many sell at
ridiculously low prices. The glut cannot
last beyond this week.

Work Hard; Play Hard.

The sporting event of the week will be
the great baseball game set for Satur-
day afternoon, June 11, when the hustlers
of the Flower Market will meet their
no less active brethren of Bobert Craig &
Sons, at Forty-ninth and Market streets,
rhe Flower Market team will be minus
the services of their famous pony battery,
but they will have a fast aggregation of
talent confident of victory, while the

St. Lotds Exposition BtdUtos* where Ae S, A. F. will Meet Atisfust 16.

West Philadelphia team strengthened by
some notable players from outlying dis-
tricts, feel certain of increasing their
reputations as winners. The Market
will close at 4 p. m. on this eventful day.
Every florist with a drop of sporting
blood in his veins should see this fierce
contest.

Variotis Notes.

C. G. Papsch has just opened a store
at Atlantic City.

E. C. Hayden, of C. F. Edgar & Co.,
■and Thomas ; S. Beattie, of the Straf-
ford Flower Farm, were elected members
of the Florists ' Club last Tuesday even-
ing.

Adolph Faretowald is cutting new crop
Beauties.

George E. Carpenter is said to make
bouvardia pay well. His method is to
flower it in December, not attempting
another crop but following with Easter
and bedding plants. He grows all three
colors of bouvardia.

The Florists' Bowling team and sev-
eral others in the profession spent
Thursday at Essington, with the mem-
bers of the other teams in the bowlers'
league and their friends.

C. F. Edgar & Co. have put electric
lights in their ice box, which is a great
improvement. They are receiving some
nice carnations.

Edward Eeid has lately sold a farm in
Dakota for a satisfactory price.

It ig rumored that Myers & Samtman
will plant a large house with Liberty
this season.

Miss Wyatt, daughter of William H.
Wyatt, of 236 North Thirteenth street,
was married last Monday.

Edward Swayne, of Wawaset, sent
some superb white peonies to S. S. Pen-
nock for Memorial day.

Carl Jurgens, of Newport, B. I., is
sending some nice Kaiserins to Leo Nies-
sen. Phil.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Another good week in cut flowers has
just passed. According to the glowing
accounts of our daily press of the elab-
orate decorations that are being done in
the different state buildings at the
World's Fair, also weddings and school
work about the city, the past week must
have been a busy one for our florists.
The almost incessant rain stopped work
on the outside, though most of it is fin-
ished. A lot of planting is yet to be
done at the World's Fair grounds.

The President 's daughter is still with
us, having prolonged her stay, attending
social affairs given in her honor almost
every day and night, at which a great
many cut flpwers are being used and of
course only the choice stock is wanted for
these occasions. Those who were fortu-
nate enough to furnish these orders wish
that Mis,s Boosevelt would remain with us
all sunjmer. But others of note will visit
us this summer, who will receive much
attention frpm . the social folks, and of
course floral decorations will be one .of
the features, so the St. Louis florists ex-
pect to be busy all this summer with work
of that kind.

Stock of the first quality is very
scarce, but in other grades there were
plenty for all demands the past week.
In American Beauties fancies were lim-
ited, with good demand for all that came
in. Shorts, too, cleaned up every day fcr
design work. For the best Beauties
$2.50 to $3 per dozen was asked. Others
ran from $1.50 per dozen down to $5 per
100.. Of the smaller roses, such as
Bride, Maid, Gate, Liberty and Meteor,
there seemed to be plenty in the market,
of the first and second grade stock.
There was a big demand for fancy stock
in these, and prices ranged from $3 to $6
per 100. Some extra fancy brought $8
per 100. In the poorer grades of carna-
tions the market is well supplied at pres-
ent, only fancies being scarce, the de-
mand for these large, and $2 to $3 per
100 asked for the best; $1 to $1.50 for
the common small stock. Outdoor stock
suffered a great deal last week from the
heavy rains, the demand being good for
this material for the many lawn decora-
tions. Sweet peas are in great abund-
ance, prices ranging from 25 to 60 cents

The Market.

Jil'e out of the flowers and out of the

per 100 in small lots. Good peas can be
bought for $3.50 per 1000. A few Har-
risii and callas were still to be had the
past week. Plenty of greens of all
kinds except long asparagus strings.
Prices remain as usual for this stock.

Various Notes.

Visitors in town the past week were J.
Steckler, C. E. Panter, president and sec-
retary respectively of the Louisiana
State Horticultural Society; A. Kerlec,
seedsman of New Orleans, La.; Herbert
Heller and wife of New Castle, Ind.;
Harry Balsley, Detroit, Mich.; Hunter
Hough, Paducah, Ky.; George M. Kel-
logg, of Pleasant Hill, Mo.

At the dedication of the Indiana build-
ing at the World 'p Fair the place was
handsomely decorated with 5,000 Ameri-
can Beauties furnished by Heller Bros.,
of, New Castle, Ind. Herbert Heller was
here in person to supervise the decora-
tions.

The Missouri building at the World's
Fair was also dedicated the past week.
The flowers used in this building were
furnished by George M. Kellogg, of
Pleasant Hill. The decorations consist-
ed of roses, carnations and peonies.

Ostertag Bros, furnished the decora-
tions at the Kearns mansion for the re-
ception in honor of Miss Roosevelt last
Thursday. They, also decorated the Cat-
lin mansion last week for a similar affair.

The Ellison Floral Co. furnished 600
American Beauties for a reception given
at the Japanese building last week.

Otto Koenig, of the Koenig Floral Co.,
and treasurer of the Florists' Club, was
kicked by his horse the past week, which
will keep him indoors for several days.

At the committeemen's meeting the
past week in the Exposition building a
great deal was done regarding conven-
tion work. Henry Ostertag, chairman of
the decorating committee, has his plans
for decorating both halls. Frank M.
Ellis, chairman of the hotel committee,
reported quite a lot of applications for
hotel accommodations. Supt. Kuehn and
his assistant, Fred Meinhardt, report
plenty of applications for space. Otto
Koenig could not be present owing to
sickness. Carl Beyer, K. F. Tesson and
F. C. Weber failed to report. J. J.
Beneke, who has charge of the souvenir
book, reported a great deal of space
taken. J. F. Ammann of the reception
committee, reported progress. The com-
mittee will meet again this week Thurs-
day in the Exposition building at 2
o'clock and every Thursday hereafter
until convention time.

The first Sunday opening of the year
of Missouri Botanic Garden, better
known as Shaw's Garden, was June 5.
The largest attendance that ever gathered
at this famous place was recorded. It
was estimated that no less than 26,000
persons entered the gates between the
hours of 2 and 7 p. m. The greatest at-
tractions were the cactus and orchid col-
lections. The orchid collection alone
consists of no less than 1,200 species and
is under the care of E. G. McClure.
Prof. Trelease, Prof. Irish and a host
of students, who acted as guides, were
very attentive and especially so to the
ladies. The flower beds in the garden
also attracted a great deal of attention
from the visitors.

Will Craig, of the firm of Robert
Craig & Son, Philadelphia, is spending a
few days in St. Louis selling palms and

The Market.

The usual drop in prices followed
Memorial day, but for several days there
was no great surplus, owing to cool,
cloudy weather. ITie market is rather
dull at present, but weddings and class
graduations will tend to bring it up
during the balance of the month. Beau-
ties hold at from $4 to $12 per 100,
Brides and Bridesmaids from $4 to $G.
Carnations are in heavy supply at from
$1 to $2, a few fancies selling higher.
Single peonies have b*n plentiful the
last few days and double varieties are
now coming in freely. They sell quite
well, pink and white shades going best.
A good many nymphseas are now seen
in the windows, while bunches of her-
baceous flowers, such as oriental poppies,
German iris, etc., are noticed. Some
salpiglossis is seen in one or two stores.

Rhododendron Exhibition.

The aimual rhododendron show was
held on June 4 and 5 and, contrary to
expectations, proved to be a remarkably
good one. While rhododendrons have
been seen more numerously, there was
a fine show of these considering the
damage done to the plants and flower
buds the past winter. For twelve
trusses of unquestioned hardiness Wm.
Thatcher, gardener to Mrs. J. L. Gard-
ner, won with the following varieties:
Sherwoodense, Schiller, Everestianum,
roseum graudiflorum, speculatum, Carac-
tacus, purpureum elegans, Generic, al-
bum elegans, roseum pictum, delicatis-
simum and Blandianum. The same ex-
hibitor won for six trusses. T. D. Hat-
field, gardener to Walter Hunne^ell,
won for twelve and six trusses of ten-
der varieties. The same exhibitor was
awarded a silver medal for a display
of several hundred bottles of hardy and
tender varieties. W. C. Winter had a
nice lot of named varieties.

For hardy azaleas Wm. Thatcher and
T. C. Thurlow took the prizes with fine
displays. There was the fineist display
of German iris seen for years. For
thirty-six vases T. C. Thurlow, H. C.
Merriam and W. Whitman, M. Sullivan,
gardener, won. The varieties Her Maj-
esty, from F. J. Rea, a beautiful pink,
and' Madonna alba, from H. C. Mer-
riam, refceived honorable mention. Wm.
Thatcher had the best display of single
and double pyrethrums and also in the
class for display of cut branches of
ornamental trees and shrubs, showing
120 varieties. W. A. Riggs, gardener

to E. A. Clarke, and Warreli Heustis
were second and third, each showing
over 100 varieties. There was keen
competition for thirty varieties of na-
tive plants, the prizes going to Mrs.
Arthur Clarke, Mrs. A. S. Colbourri,
the Misses Doran, Miss A. E. Shattuck
and Miss K. Buitta.

Thfere were numerous miscellaneous
displays. R. & J. Farquhar & Co. filled
the center of the lecture hall with a
splendid group of palms, rhodode;ndrons
(including some fine Cunningham's
white) azaleas, coniferse, Nephrolepis
Piersoni etc. T. D, Hatfield had a
group of rhododendrons in pots, com-
prising fine plants of Lady Gray Eger-
ton and delicatissimum, also a fine lot
of Calla Elliottiana, plants two years
old from seed.

Lager & Hurrell had a nice group of
orchids, comprising Lselia tenebrosa, Cat-
tleya Mendelli, I^lia purpurata, Den-
drobium transparens, and other season-
able varieties. E. J. Mitton, J. Law-
son, gardener, received a cultural cer-
tificate for a finely flowered pan of the
rather difficult Lfelia majalis and E. O.
Orpet, gardener to E. V. R, Thayer, a
similar award for some superb Odonto-
glossum crispum, the plants being all
grown in pure fern fibre, leaf-mold cul-
ture having been tried and abandoned.
These are the finest spikes seen in Bos-
ton for years.

Harvard Botanic (Jardens had a fine
group, with Clerodendron Balfouri as a
center piete, numerous fuchsias includ-
ing the graceful F. gracilis. Asparagus
Sprengeri, etc. Mr. Cameron also staged
a magnificent lot of hardy perennials,
filling sixty feet of table, which was
the star feature of the show. J. B.
Shurtleff had a collection of twenty-
three varieties of aquilegias, B. P. Ware
a table of Moutan peonies, Mrs. E. M.
Gill and Mrs. J. B. Lawrence nice gen-
eral displays, C. W. Parker and others
Iris Gcrmanica. There was a find dis-
play of seasonable vegetables.

The annual peony show occurs on
June 11. There will undoubtedly be a
grand show, as peonies never lookefd so
well as at present. In addition to the
regular money prizes, medals are offered
by Kelway & Son, of Langport, Eng-
land. The rose and strawberry show oc-
curs on Junei 21 and 22 and promises
to be much above the average.

The Boston Park System.

Never has the extensive Boston park
system looked better than at present.
The copious rains have given a luxu-
riance and richness to the foliage better
than we remember to have seen before.
It is necessary to spend a whole day
on the thirty miles of driveways and
seventy miles of pathways contained in
the 2,500 acres comprising the Metropol-
itan park system. Superintendent Pet-
tigrew has just completed an extensive
block of stables, store rooms, carpen-
ters', blacksmiths' and other shops, en-
gine houses, etc., and is grading and
planting around the same.

The growth being made by the oaks,
lindens, ginkgos, elms and other trees
planted by the thousands by Mr. Petti-
grew during the last seven years is re-
markable and his development of the
park system commands the admiration
of everyone who can appreciate the im-
mense work he has done here and also
can see at a glance that all his planning
is not merely for present effect but for
the benefit of future generations. In-
teresting as the system now is, it Avill

become increasingly so, for having now
got the system into shape Mr. Petti-
grew will each year introduce groups
or colonies of newer and more choice!
subjects in suitable locations. Fine blocks
of trees, shrubs, and perennial plants
are contained in the nurseries and Bos-
ton will undoubtedly continue to lead
the country with het park system.

Various Notes.

The garden committee of the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society made the
first visit of the season, on June 7, to
the beautiful estate of Walter Hunne-
well, of Wellesley. They found the fifty
acres of grounds in first-class order.
While the hardy rhododendrons and
azaleas were primef attractions, the her-
baceous plants, lawns, Italian garden
and numerous handsome trees and shrubs
were admired. The extensive display of
Azalea Indica, tender rhododendrons,
pelargoniums, hydrangeas, Calla Elliot-
tiana, and other indoor plants were also
a great attraction. In the orchid houses
were found a fine display of cattleyas,
odontoglossums and miltonias, the lat-
ter probably the finest in the/ country.
Fern fibre is preferred to leaf-mold as
a compost for all orchids.

Kenneth Finlayson has been quite se-
riously sick with inflammatory rheuma-
tism for the past month and his many
friends wish him a speefdy recovery.

The regular meeting of the Garden-
ers' and Florists' Club occurs at Hor-
ticultural Hall on June 14. There will
be no meietings during July and August.

Geraniums to the number of 35,000
have rece'ntly been planted in the public
gardens. The following varieties are
used: Double and single General Grant,
I*. Favorite, S. A. Nutt, Gloire de
France, rose color; Mme. Thibaut, Due
de Mortimet, Beaute Poitevine and King
Olga. The rhododendron and azalea beds
are attractive. A display of 20.000
foxgloves in Copley Square will make
^ m?°^ showing in a few days.

There have been some! fine wedding
decorations during the past week. At
the Thayer-Russell wedding in South
^ncaster, Doyle used hydrangeas, lilies,
Beauty roses and palms chiefly. A large
'^ank of splendid Odontoglossum cris-

BUFFALO.

The Market.

It is rather late to report on Decora-
tion day. My idea of it is that, if any-
thing but a soaking rain all day had
been sent us, we should all of us have been
very busy. The! business lost in cut
flowers on that day is gone, never to
be recovered. If a person wants to or-
der a box of flowers for his best girl,
or order his vase filled or flower garden
fixed up he! will do it by telephone or
wait for a fine day, but the thousands
who would visit our cemeteries and take
along a bunch of flowers, cannot ven-
ture out, save their money and we are
"minus." Still, these are only the! ups
and downs of business, and what did
the baseball magnates lose and the other
caterers to public recreation? It is all
forgotten, and business has since! been
good. There has been no event calling
for special floral decorations of late, yet
a good, steady demand. The cool, wet
days about Decoration day cooled the
ardor of those! wanting their flower beds
filled. We are always late in the bed-
ding business in this city and the last
few days, and the week to come, has
meant long and busy hours for all the
plantmen. While flower gardening in its
proper sense, and the usual planting and
ornamental plants, will be in volume
about as usual, the use of the veranda
box seems somewhat on the decline.

Various Notes.

The quantity of bedding plants that
Park Superintendent Braik and his as-
sistant, John Cameton, turn out of their
limited amount of glass is truly remark-
able and quality cannot be beaten. A
big force will soon complete the job of
planting.

A very short visit to South Park
found Prof. Cowell at home and he was
also busy with the flower gardening
department. That is, of course), only a
small feature in the Botanic Garden,
but the masses like masses of gay colors
and they get it in long lines of as fine
a lot of zonale geraniums as the! writer
ever saw planted out, and they were
mostly of those two matchless varieties,
Nutt and Perkins. The public ought

and does appreciate! the mammoth con-
servatory and its varied contents. Botan-
ically it is a great collection and ap-
peals to all classes, to him who wants
to study palms, orchids or ferns or she
who is more interested in a bunch, i of
bananas or coflFee on the bush.

We had a visit from Peter Crowe, of
Utica, last week and we paid a visit to
Croweanum Kasting. Mr. Kasting has
been late at his office for the past few
mornings. Don't blame him; a twelve
pound girl recently arrived, which is an
attraction that will keep any young
fathet- lingering at home. All parties
are doing well and the young lady will
be christened Jasminum Elegantisslma
Filicifolia Robusta. All this will be
abbreviated in after years to "Sweet
Jas."

An insurance agent met us at the! door
of the commission house and after a
"good day" said: "The boys inside
showed me a red spider that eats the
American Beauties; dreadful thing is it
not?" We replied, "Oh, yes," thinking
that he had been showed the injured
foliage of the roses. But what was our
surprise on looking at a large vase of
western Beauties to be told by one of
the! smart young salesmen that they had
just caught a red spider. Mr. Crowe
asked how big it was and the young
man indicated its length by marking off
two inches of his little finger, Mr.
Crowe pronounced it the leaf roller and I
gave it the temporary name of Rosasis
Bruke!rii. Nothing like being posted on
the enemies of roses. The best cure for
this variety of red spider is hand pick-
ing or a machine gun.

Charlie Gunther is still sending in
fine Bridesmaids and very fine Kais-
cfrins.

W. J. Palmer & Son are making a
lead of President Carnot roses. As a
winter bloomer this beautiful rose was
a failure and it took" several years for
the public to fancy it, but now it goes
well in summer time.

Buffalo has a high-toned race track
now and society is to patronize it, so
it is to be a little Saratoga. This is
not. horticultural news and is inserted
merely to acquaint brother florists who
have sporting blood, that June 6 they
can begin to study thel dope. W. S.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

The month of roses was ushered in
by wedding bells. Society contributed
seven brilliant weddings to the opening
day, church weddings most of them, with
fine floral decorations, the peony especial-
ly being in evidence. Orange blossoms,
white orchids and lily of the valley were
used profusely. Many of the prominent
retailers had a share in the festivities.
The month of June will doubtless, with
its weddings and ocean voyages, do much
to even up on one of the most disastrous
Mays on record. The past week has
been a stunner; shipments immense, qual-
ity deteriorating, demand microscopical,
and now the present week opens with
about 100 degrees of heat and mildew
rampant and prices tending downward,
except with lily of the valley and the
higher grades of Beauties. Lilies are
still very abundant and carnations can
be had at your own price.

JUKI 9, 1904.

Bronx Park, -where on Wednesday and
Thursday the summer meeting and ex-
hibition takes place under the auspices
of the Horticultural Society of New York.
Added to their display of roses, straw-
berries and peonies will be the exhibi-
tion of the American Peony Society. At
3 p. m. Wednesday a public meeting will
be in charge of the Peony Society, when
papers on this popular flower will be
discussed. Afterwards the museum, her-
barium, library, greenhouses and labora-
tories will be open for inspection. Valu-
able prizes will be awardexi for exhibits,
among them a gold medal for the collec-
tion of the largest number of varieties
of herbaceous peonies. Many of the
leading growers of this flower are ex-
pected to be at the meeting, from Ne-
braska, Chicaigo, Cleveland, Massachusetts
and Eochester, as well as the nearer cities
of Philadelphia and Boston.

Next Monday evening at the rooms of
the New York Florists' Club another
peony exhibit will be made, this being
the last regular club meeting for the
summer. There will also be an exhibit
of strawberries with cream and the la-
dies are specially invited. John Bimie
has a "surprise" for the occasion and
some fine vaudeville talent will add to
the evening's enjoyment. Several peony
experts are expected to address the as-
sembly and preparations are being
made to accommodate an attendance of
300.

The Plant Market.

A call at the plant market last Satur-
day morning at 2 o'clock was an inter-
esting experience. Even at that early
hour a large niunber of growers were on
hand and several buyers were already
selecting stock for the day's require-
ments. Later the numbers rapidly in-
creased and before 3 a. m. the business
was in full swing and a majority of the
stock engaged. The veteran Johnny
Weir, who never sleeps, was one of the
earliest and most wakeful buyers. Mal-
lon, of Brooklyn, and Wadley & Smythe,
of Now York, had representatives on
hand early picking up some choice goods.
Prices are very reasonable and the qual-
ity was superb. The new market is still
the topic of interest. That very morn-
ing the comptroller had sent a message
asking the attendance of a committee
to confer with him. Up to date this year
132 different growers have brought their
plants to the market and the average at-
tendance eighty-five. Outside of the
tents a good many utilize the spaces,
paying a nominal rental of $1 daily, or
$15 for the season. Fritz Dressel and A.
Schultheis have their stands on the out-
side.

L. H. Eisenburg ships a good deal to
adjacent towns and cities, making heavy
purchases daily. SteinhofF still has a fine
display of Crimson Ramblers now sell-
ing at popular prices. He has disposed
of 20,000 this year ranging in prices
from $25 to $1. Lehnig & Winnefelo
had a fine display of petunias. B. Dreyer
brought lilac, privet and hydrangeas in
pots, Charles Hunt made a fine exhibit
of pansies, sometimes disposing of 200
boxes in a morning. Leach had an
abundance of yellow daisies and petunias.
Darsley, Harrison, Hunt and Daly Bros,
all had geraniums. John Bimie, the
* * foundation stone of the structure ' '
these many years, maintains his record
as the verbena and fuchsia king of the
market.

These are strenuous hours, 2 a. m. to
7. It seems as though the necessity for
such an unnatural start might be
avoided. Day after day for months this
turning night into day- is maintained.
How the regulars preserve their health
and stay in a business that makes such
a system a necessity it is hard to un-
derstand. The new building will inaugur-
ate a different system, more modern and
less unreasonable let us hope, And that
it's .early completion may be announced
is the universal desire of the trade.

Vaiiotis Notes.

Traendly & Sohenck have removed to
their new building, 44 West Twenty-
eighth stripet, where they will have 5,400
square feet of floor space, double coun-
ters, electric lights in store and base-
ment and all the modern conveniences.
Ten years ago the firm commenced busi-
ness at this very address and now they
have a long lease of the entire four-story
building and will doubtless make this
their permanent abode. Their business
shows a steady increase.

Young & Nugent handled last week
some of the finest Cattleya gigas the
New York market has seen, readily de-
manding 60 cents. Their daily ship-
mets of Liberties show no diminution
in quantity.

John Scott, of Brooklyn, is now ship-
ping his new fern, Scottii. The advance
orders have been enormous. The stock
in 6 to 14-inch pots for the retail trade
is now being grown for early fall dis-
tribution. The future of the fern seems
assured.

B. M. Ward, the importer, left for a
European trip on May 31, via the steamer
Crown Prince.

H. H. Berger & Co. report an immense
sale of fancy leaved caladiums from
Brazil.

The auction sales are still well at-
tended. Bedding stock brings excellent
prices. A few more weeks will see the
close of a very prosperous season.

George M. Stumpp, of the Stumpp &
Walter Company, has returned from a
week's visit at the St. Louis exposition.
Mr. Walter is there now. The exhibit of
the firm will interest conventionists. A
special exhibit will also be sent in Au-
gust. Mr. Stumpp speaks highly of the
exposition and enjoyed its many inter-
esting features exceedingly. He suggests
the securing of room accommodations by
the S. A. F. visitors from New York well
in advance of their arrival.

Charles Zarembo, of West Hoboken, a
florist 60 years of age, had the misfor-
tune to lose his bam and greenhouses
by fire Friday, May 13, and a subscrip-
tion has been raised by his friends in
the trade toward making another ven-
ture possible. P. Owerkert, of Jersey
City, has consented to act as custodian
of the subscriptions made in Mr.
Zarembo 's behalf.

Bowling.

It is impossible yet to state the exact
make-up of the team that will bowl at
St. Louis, but a fair guess would make
it Lang, Traendly, O'Mara, Siebrecht,
Ford and Guttman.

The Bowling Club is well pleased with
the new alleys and the attendance, con-
sidering the heat, is encouraging. The
prizes donated for high scoring by Capt.
Lang were won by himself and William
Siebrecht. The intense temperature for
the present week is likely to reduce en-

thusiasm. Scores last Tuesday were as
follows :

The Market.

Conditions changed for the worse! dur-
ing the later days of last week and
the market now has so much poor stock
it is impossible to sell it all and so
little good stock that wholesalers hold on
to it for country customers and cannot
get enough. There is a fair out of town
demand, befcause of the large number
of spring weddings and the annual
school closings and local trade is rea-
sonably active by virtue of the same
causes. There are great quantities of
roses coming in, but very few of them
are) of a quality which will permit their
use in the better class of work. The
good roses, if they may be called such,
bring a very fair price but the larger
end of the receipts is sold to the Gredks
by the wagon load. Some of the car-
nations are good for so late in the sea-
son, but lack, keeping quality, as has
been the case for somef little time, and
many complaints come from the buyers.
Another part of the carnation receipts
is worth little or nothing upon arrival
and generally goes to the dump, so the
average is vefry low indeed.

Peonies did better last we^ than had
been expected. The southern crop came
to an abrupt end and left a fefw days
interval before the local cut was ready.
Up to Monday prices were fairly firm;
the exception to this was the poorer
grades, the single varieties and the Old
Red which came in large quantities.
None of these were salable. The local
cut has been heavy this week and prices
vary widely.

Longiflorum lilies are still one of the
problems on the hands of the whole-
salers and valley is another. Spring
weddings are taking a greiat deal of in-
door valley at a fair figure but there
are very large receipts ot the outdoor
stock which are moved with diflBculty.
The outdoor tulips are at an end. Sweet
peas of good quality command a fair
price, but the indifferent and low grades,
which predominate, are not wanted.
There are large supplies of feverfew,
daisies, pansies and candytuft. Still a
few jasmines, lilacs, etc., none of which
are in active demand. New ferns are
coming in. Asparagus strings have
shortened up, but smilax is fairly plen-
tiful, the reverse of the condition which
has maintained for several months.

Various Notes.

It is announced that the Albert Fuchs
auction sale, beginning next Wednes-
day, will continue from 2 to 7 p. m.
to give everybody a chance.

Peter Weiland writes that he struck
good business at Cincinnati at the time
of opening his new wholesale store, it
being the week of school closing, but
since then business has been quiet. He
is putting his peonies in cold storage.

Mr. and Mrs. Harold McCormick last
Thursday gave the most elaborate gar-
den party Chicago society has ever
known. They employed an architect to

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

June 9. 1904.

PACIFIC COAST.

Los Angeles, Cal. — The florists are
endeavoring to get the city council to
take action prohibiting the street venders
of flowers from plying their trade, rep-
resenting that they are an injury to an
industry representing an investment of
over a million dollars. The Herald
arises to the defense of the peddlers.

CARNATION NOTES.

The growers in the vicinity of San
Francisco are kept very busy this warm
June weather. I made a tour of some
of the principal places last week and
find everyone in the midst of planting
stock in the field. The stock generally
looks thrifty. Several of our large
growers handle their stock entirely in
pots until they are finally planted in
the benches. First they are rooted in
sand, then transplanted into flats, then
shifted into thumb potS; then into 4-
inch and finally into 6-inch pots, where
they are allowed to grow a couple of
months before they are brought into
the houses. This method entails consid-
erable more handling and quite an out-
lay for pots but there is no check to
the; plants in the final planting and no
danger from gophers, a pest with which
the California carnation growers have
considerable trouble.

Of the varieties that will be planted
extensively I find several additions to
our regular standard kinds. Mora Hill
easily leads in white. This variety
seems to fill the bill for California for
an all-around white. Prosperity is pro-
nounced by all growers to be a rather
shy bearer and although the flowfers
bring a good figure it does not pay
as well as the other variety mentioned.
In the neighborhood of Burlingame, how-
ever, it is being planted quite freely.
I saw several patches of Gov. Wolcott
and heard quite a difference of opinion
regarding its merits as a paying va-
riety and I think it will oo another
season before we can tell very much
about it. It is a grand fiower and brings
top prices. White Cloud and Queen
Louise I found were favored by some
growers and will be grown quite ex-
tensively for the coming season.

In scarlet varieties Estelle is away
ahead of everything else; fully seven-
ty-five per cent of the bench room re-
served for red is given to this kind.
Portia is grown only in the smaller
places and for the cheaper trade. Amer-
ica seems to have been discarded on ac-
count of its dull color. Crane because
it is rather shy with us and blooms in
crops. I found several growers trying
Adonis but they do not seem to be able
to tell whether it will be profitable or
not. A South San Francisco grower
has a very nice lot of Flamingo, which
he thinks is going to be one of our
coming red sorts. Red Bradt does not
seem to be muck in favor here; the
growers claim that it is a shy bearer.

Mrs. Lawson still holds the first place
as an all-around pink variety, although
it is subject to fhrips more than any oth-
er kind and for this reason in some
localities it is hard to handle in the
summer. This thrips is a queer proposi-
tion. In some places, where we have
plenty of cool ocean breezes and foggy
nights, it is almost unknown and at a
distance of a mile or two inland it

comes very near putting the grower out
of business in the summer time.

E. Schwerin is a local variety and a
good one, being a deep rich piiJc some-
what the color of Lawson. It is grown
quite extensively here and is a good
paying variety. Crocker is gradually
being discarded, as it is only a summer
blooming variety. Joost and Scott are
planted by the smaller growers and Jap-
anese gardefners. They are both heavy
bloomers but bring very low prices.
Cressbrook is being discarded also by a
majority of the planters. Some claim
the color is not stable enough and oth-
ers say it is a very shy bearer, so it
will have to go. Enchantress seems to
have only a few friends for about the
same reasons. Higinbotham is grown
in a few places. It seems to be well
spoken of and one grower has stock
enough to plant an entire house. It is
a very good light pink but not general-
ly known about. Mrs. Nelson comes in
for a diversity of opinion also but the
general verdict seems to be that it is
rather a shy bearer. Triiunph is a good
variety and will be planted very largely
this season. It is of easy growth and
make's splendid ■ long stems and big
blooms. In yellow and variegated
shades many growers do not compete at
all. Mrs. Bradt is the best of its class
but it had a tendency, the last season,
to come vety weak stemmed and is not
in great favor on that account. John
Carbone is one of the best paying sorts
and Stella is 1 planted considerably. In
yellow Eldorado seems to be the best
liked although Gold Nugget will be
planted considerably. Mayor Pingree
has been thrown out completely I be-
lieve. In ' dark red sorts John Hinkle
still is in the lead and a good many
Roosevelt are seen.

Some of our growers have experimented
with seedling carnations and I have
seen several very fine flowers that wete
raised in this way. A good many nov-
elties are being sent herei from the east
but it will be another season before we
can tell whether they will prove prof-
itable. G.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

We have safely passed over Decora-
tion day and from what I am able to
learn it was up to the average in busi-
ness. Saturday seemed to be the busiest
day although Sunday was a close sec-
ond. The retailers sold out well and
the growers cut everything very close,
so there has been but little brought into
town this week. A Sutter street florist
told me today that he had not been able
to get enough flowers since Decoration
day to fill up his windows properly. Of
course on a day of this kind there is
only a limited demand for fine stock.
Most of the stuff sold is hardy outside
flowers with the exception of carnations
and these, especially the white and pink
varieties were in good demand. Sweet
peas were the next on thef list and the
growers, especially the Chinese, ran
the price up from 50 cents per dozen
bunches to $1 and this is the price the!
stores had to pay from Tuesday through
the week. The bunches were made only
about half the usual size and the grow-
ers made a handsome profit for a few
days. White stocks and Bride gladioli
were handled by the thousands. Gail-
lardias, candytuft, coreopsis, and Shirley
poppies had a good run and callas could

busy as superintendent of the city parka
for many years,

J. Seulberger, of Oakland, has sold
his Seventh street establishment to
John Campiana and N. Rolleri and will
in future devote his entire attention to
his Fourteenth street store. Mr. Cam-
piana was connected with Mr. Seulberger
for a number of years and has the
florist business well in hand.

PORTLAND, ORE.

Prop)er observance of ^Memorial day
was shown here and never before were
there so many flowers used. As one of
our cemetery superintendents stated,
there were wagon loads of beautiful
J^oses, the graves being literally covered,
^ut the florists did not reap the usual
harvest because of so much outdoor
stock. Everybody had a garden full of
"owers and local trade suffered in con-
»€quence. It was the out of town or-
Jers which kept us busy, the demand
t>eing the greatest in years. Distance is
not considered by some people and Ore-
gon roses were shipped as far as Mon-
«na, Nebraska and Iowa. There were
ilf^7 ^'^'■'^ties of common though beau-
h.lf \u °^®'"^ to be had in abundance,
out tliey did not prove a profitable in-
vestment to the florist. The first sweet

peas on twelve-inch stems were ushered
in the week preceding Decoration day
and became so plentiful as to sell on the
streets for 10 cents a big bunch. A few
hundred fine white peonies retailed at
$1.50 per dozen. The city was almost
bombarded with bachelor's buttons,
which grow as abundantly here as sun-
flowers in Kansas. Thousands of them
were handled by the street venders, who
were out in full force. H. J. M.

CLEVELAND.

August Schmitt has been in poor
health for some time and on the even-
ing of June 1 shot himself through the
head while in bed. The flash from the
revolver is supposed to have set the bed
clothing on fire and when the family,
who were absent, returned home in the
evening they found the building in
flames. The fire was extinguished but
not before Mr. Schmitt 's body was badly
burned. He was 63 years of age.

The Cleveland Floral Co. has been
licensed to incorporate with a capital
of $30,000. The incorporators named
are C. W. Fuller, J. L. Bradley, L. R.
Canfield, J. A. Cline and E. L Hatfield.
The company is to take over the busi-
ness of the Grant-Wilson Floral Co.

Gibson City, III. — Swan Peterson has
sold a large quantity of bedding stock
to the Wabash Railroad for use on the

BROOKLYN, N. Y.

Richard Shannon, whose florist's es-
tablishment is at Greene and Franklin
avenues, is figuring in the newspapei;
accoimts arising from the trouble at
the Merchants Bank occasioned by the
failure of Woodend & Co., brokers. It
.seems that Mr. Shannon is not only a
florist but a capitalist and a director
in the bank. He had recently a consid-
erable amount of collateral in the bank
and instructed its president to sell 100
shares of Sugar stock for his account.
This the president did through Woodend
& Co., realizing $12,800 which the
brokers failed to pay over to the bank,
claiming that its president was indebted
to them. Theti the brokers failed and
the florist inquired of the bank as to
where he was to get his money. It re-
sulted in the resignation of the bank
president and, although the florist is a
director in the bank, he will probably
have to sue to get his money.

Hartford, Conn. — George S. Osborn,
who is still in ill health, is closing out
his business. The real estate has been
sold, also the greenhouses, which are be-
ing removed.

North Manchester, Ind. — Harry
White has bought the glass and busi-
ness of the North Manchester green-
houses and will shortly move his glass
from his former location near Wabash.

Will be held at Atlanta, Ga., June, 19M.

M. C. Reynolds, of Phoneton, O.,
secretary of the Albaugh Nursery Co.,
is dead, aged 62 years.

W. A. Peteeson, Chicago, is at New
York and attended the meeting of the
American Peony Society this week.

Len Small, of A. L. Small & Son,
Iiurserymen, of Kankakee, 111., has been
nominated as the republican candidate
for state treasurer.

The cherry is one item for which
nurserymen may with confidence count
on good prices for some seasons. Stocks
are light and demand heavy.

The bay tree is steadily rising in pop-
ular favor and those nurserymen whose
importations were larger than ever this
spring found a ready market.

This is the season at which the peony
occupies the attention of many nursery-
men. There has been big business in
this line in the last few years.

The American Park and Outdoor Art
Association is holding its annual conven-
tion at St. Louis this week. Few nur-
serymen have attended since the first
year or two.

The large loss of stock on private
estates during^ the past winter has
brought a considerable demand for spe-
cimen plants of many species to fill
gaps in plantations. Very good prices
are being paid for stock for immediate
effect

Edwin H. Eiehl, the nurseryman
near Alton, 111., is introducing a new
strawberry known as No. 28, which is a
cross of Brandywine and Euby. It is
an extra large, early variety, of good
shape, fine color, firm and sound and
of large producing quality.

BUILDING AND PIPING.

I want to build two greenhouses 18x
50 feet, with side walls five and one-half
feet high and ten feet to ridge. The
houses will run east and west, the south
house to be used for carnations, the
other for mixed stock. There will be
three benches in each house. I have a
No. 15 Hitchings boiler. Will it be
large enough to heat the two houses
when it is about zero outside? The car-
nations will require 50 and the mixed
stock 65 degrees. Would it be advisable
to put in an emergency boiler? I have
4-inch boiler flues for the north house,
also a lot of 1-inch pipe for the carna-
tion house. How many flows and re-
turns will I need! Or how many 3-inch
boiler flues will it take? I can buy
these cheap. How should I run the
pipes? Should I build even or three-
quarter span? The ground is level and
the houses wil^ of course, have a parti-
tion wall. C. J. L.

Under most circumstances it is best to
run the ridge north and south and use
the even-span type of structure. To
maintain the desired temperature in the
"mixed house" with 3-ineh boiler tubes
it will require nine runs of pipe. A 3-
inch riser might be carried under the-
ridge and eight more runs placed under
the benches if the pressure system is
to be used. If open circuit is used all
of the nine runs can be arranged under
the benches. If 1-inch .pipe is used in
the carnation house a 2% -inch flow un-
der the ridge feeding twenty-four 1-
inch returns placed under the benches
will be required. It is not advisable to
attempt to heat a greenhouse with 1-
inch radiation pipes and a hot water
plant; the pipes should not be less than
1^-inch and if 1% or 2-inch so much
the better. If 3-inch tubes are used in
place of the 1-inch pipe, arrange the
pipes the same as specified for the other
house. It is likely that the No. 15
boiler will be large enough but if you
wish to make provision for extreme con-
ditions run two lines of 1-inch pipes
under each side bench and three under
each center bench, a 1.%-inch riser un-
der the ridge and connect all up to a
four horse-power steam boiler which can
be fired in extreme weather. If you
have the pipe and can pick up a fairly
good second-hand boiler that will safely
carry ten to fifteen pounds pressure this
will be found to be a very economical
plan. The hot water will serve durii^g
mild weather and the steam will provide
against any possible loss during severe
weather if the two are run in conjunc-
tion. L. C. C.

If the ridge is to run east and west
by all means build three-quarter span
houses with the long side to the south.

PIPING.

Will you kindly tell us how many
lines of 3-inch pipe it will take to heat
four houses 20x100? Temperature is 58
degrees at night. Also how many lines
of 3-inch pipe it will take to heat two
houses 10x100? In one house the tem-
perature is 58 degrees at night and the
other house for propagating, tempera-
ture 55 top and the bottom 65 degrees.
"\Vill a 6-inch main be large enough? The
height on the large houses to the ridge
is twelve feet and the small houses
eight feet. A. N. C.

The housfs 20x100 feet should each
be provided with seven runs of 3-inch
pipe and the small houses, 10 x 100 feet,
with five lines of pipe. I assume from
figures given that hot water heat is to
be used and that a water temperature
of at least 180 degrees will be main-
tained. Under these condtions a 6-inch
riser, or main, will provide for the
houses. I^. C. C.

Schrader & Schmidt has been dissolved

Aberdeen, S. D. — On Decoration day

JUNB 9, 1904.

Vegetable Forcing.

Cucumbers are worth at Chicago from
$1.50 to $4 per hundred, leaf lettuce from
15 to 25 cents a case.

Lettuce growers who have tried it
speak enthusiastically of To-bak-ine
liquid as a means of keeping the houses
free from insects.

SEND IN YOUR QUERIES.

During the hot summer months the
vegetable! forcer finds himself with
empty houses and little to do but plan
for next season. If there are any de-
tails of the work with which he is not
thoroughly acquainted, he should write
out a statement of the points about
which he is in doubt and send it to the
Review. It will be answered by one of
the most expert vegetable forcers in
the country. This opportunity to get a
personal opinion on an individual case
is open to every subscriber of the Re-
view. Sign your name, but not for
publication.

SOILS FOR CUCUMBERS.

Cucumbers, unlike lettuce, are not
susceptible to minute variations in soil
texture. A great variety of soils can
he utilized successfully for cucumbers if
plenty of organic matter is supplied.
Those who make a specialty of growing
cucumbers under glass general!}' use a
soil made up of three-fourths decomposed
sod and one-fourth horse manure. This
makes a light soil, containing a large
amount of organic matter, which is re-
plenished each year by adding more horse
manure.

The fertilizers usually employed are
ground bone, wood ashes, and frequently
some" complete commercial fertilizer. As
far as our observations go, cucumbers
do not respond so readily to fertilizers
as many other plants, i. e., the applica-
tion of a fertilizer does not manifest itr
self so conspicuously as in other plants.
They do respond, however, quite freely
to the influence of sterilized soil. In
supplying organic matter to the soil we
have frequently practiced sowing some
leguminous crop such as white lupine
or Canada peas in the beds during Aug-
ust and September when the houses were
empty, and turning this crop under be-
fore replanting. Both of these plants
are rapid growers, and the lupine readi-
ly forms large nodules, which, when
turned under, supply the soil with nit-
rogen as well as organic matter. — Geo.
E. Stone in Bulletin of Hatch Experi-
ment Station.

Shippensbueg, Pa. — The Byer Floral
Co. has started building greenhouses and
auxiliary structures preparatory to en-
tering the wholesale florist and seed
business. They already have quite a
stock of vegetable plants.

Elizabeth, N. J. — In the suit of the
Elizabeth Nursery Co. against the Lis-
ter Agricultural Chemical Works, of
Newark, the jury returned a verdict
awarding the plaintiff damages in the
sum of $5,782.85. The contention was
that the use of impure bone meal in
the rose houses caused a loss for which
the seller of the fertilizer was respon-
sible.

There has been no ' ' corn weather ' ' so
far,

S. F. Leonard, Chicago, was a recent
visitor at Louisville, Ky.

Thomas A. Cox, of the Cox Seed
Co., San Francisco, is on a six weeks'
eastern trip.

The anticipated reports of poor pros-
pects for cabbage seed crops are com-^
ing to hand.

Arnold Eingier, of W. W. Barnard &
Co., Chicago, has returned from a trip
to New York.

Beports from the pea growing dis-
tricts are to the effect that so far every-
thing is satisfactory.

The sweet corn contest is over. It is
said, however, that there sMU remain a
few lots to be picked up at several points
in Nebraska.

Sufficient acreage for a normal
year's crop of cucumbers has been se-
cured, but this is no assurance that the

Scarcely a week goes by without an
importer of canary seed protesting that
it is free of duty as grass seed. Nord-
linger vs. United States (T. D. 24976)
decided this contention in the negative.

James G. Ficklin, of King City, Mo.,
is known locally as the ' ' blue grass
king" as he harvests 15,000 to 20,000
bushels of blue grass in Gentry, Andrew,
De Kalb, Nodaway and Worth counties.

For twenty years there has not been a
season which has shown so much unpre-
pared garden land in the vicinity of Chi-
cago at this date as the present one. This
only shows how backward the spring has
been.

Reports from the different onion set
points show the growth far enough along
to give something of an idea what the
crop may be. At Chicago many fields
on the low grounds, where lumps threw
the seed drill out, are ragged and un-
even. The damp, cool weather of the
past week has pushed the weeds along
faster than the onions, causing extra ex-
pense to keep the ground clean. The
crop is two weeks behind last year, with
the acreage less, and a prospect for two-
thirds of last year 's harvest. At Indiana-
polis and vicinity the acreage is a trifle
more than last year, condition of crop
not up to last year for evenness of growth
and the prospect is for less than last
year's harvest. At Louisville, Ky., the
stand is not up to the average, some acres
plowed up, and original planting less

than last year, with the prospect for a
crop not as good as a year ago at this
time.

THE SEED TRADE.

G. B. McVay, president of the Amzi
Godden Co., Birmingham, Ala., writes as
follows under date of June 6:

The season of 1903-4, which has just
now passed with us, has been a very
curious one in several particulars. The
demand for goods in our line early in
the season bid fair to exceed any previ-
ous year's sales, but the unusually cold,
dry spring very much retarded our busi-
ness and the final conclusion has been
most unprofitable and unsatisfactory.

The acreage in most all vegetable
crops has been largely curtailed, partly
owing to high prospective prices for
cotton and the unfavorable season for
vegetable crops. This is notably ap-
parent in vine seed crops such as melons,
canteloupes, squashes and cucumbers.
The season has been most unfavorable
for the germination of this particular
class of seeds, which has something to do
Avith the limited acreage planted.

CEMENT BENCHES.

Eef erring to Mr. Scott's description of
a tile bench, in last week's Review, the
Niagara Cement and Concrete Company
writes :

We were much interested in the man-
ner of constructing this bench, but wo'
are quite certain that if we could build
a bench for comparison, no more like
this one would be used. We don't be-
lieve in tee-irons along a bench to rust
out. If such work, exposed in that way,
were put into a business block, the build-
ing inspectors would kick it out in a
minute. Anyway, the lime in the soil
will rust through iron in no time. In our
bench i^e adjustable braces to hold the
pipes and stiffen the bench are iron but
the balance is all cement and we know
that no iron should be in a bench where
the soil can in any way reach it or work
on it to rust it out; it should be free
so that at any time it can be painted.
These cement benches can be put up in
far less time than a wooden bench and
that means something nowadays, when
a house ha.s to be kept pretty busy to
meet competition, but once up they will
last longer than the house and can be
emptied and refilled without loss of time
for repairs and with less labor than is
required on any other kind of bench.

Your paper is fine; sold small plants
all out, — GusTAv PrrzoNKA, Bristol, Pa.

The Review seems to be able to hunt
out the buyers. — F. A. Belt, Sterling,
111.

That little one-inch advertisement in
your valuable paper did the work all
right as usual. — J. F. Ammaun, Edwards-
ville. 111.

YouE paper is all right. I said it years
ago when I sent my first dollar and I say
it yet. — G. B. Steinhauser, Philadel-
phia, Pa.

I HAVE certainly been well pleased with
the Review and would not like to be with-
out it; I think every florist shouldi take
it. — C. L. Shanks, Newton, Kan.

TARRYTOWN. N. Y.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Tarrytown Horticultural Society was
held May 31, President Ballantyne in
the chair. David Macfarlane, gardener
for Mrs. H. Walter Webb, Scarborough,
was awarded Franz S. Pammer's prize,
a scarf pin, for the best display of flow-
ers cut from hardy shrubs. Other ex-
hibitors were Wm. Scott and Robt.
Boreham. Jas. Scott and Thos. Lee
were the judges. Nominees for mem-
bership were Alex MacKensie, Geo. In-
stone, John Featherstone and F. Luck-
etibacher all from Greystone, Yonkers.
One member was elected. A prize of
$15 was received from Vaughan's Seed
Store, New York, to be competed for :it
the fall exhibition. Owing to the late
season the date of the June show was
changed from June 9 to June 14, to be
held in the Young Men's Lyceum, Tar-
rytown, and open from 3 p. m. till 10
p. m. Admission free. Resolutions of
sympathy wete tendered Francis Gibson
and his family on the death of Harry
Gibson.

This being ladies' night, a very pleas-
ant evening's entertainment was in store
for the members and friends, of whom
there were! over seventy-five present.
President Ballantyne called upon our
crack orator, David Macfarlane, to an-
nounce the program, which included
music and elocution, by members and
others. The program was followed by
dancing. This was the first ladies'
night this society has given and it was
a success, much beyond the expectations
of the committee in charge, who hope
to do as well at the next ladies' night,
which will be in August. T. A. L.

Elizabeth, N. J. — Henry Lehy is mak-
ing plans to considerably enlarge his es-
tablishment this summer. He has had
a lifelong experience in the business,
having started with Benj. Haines in
1872. After acquiring a general knowl-
edge of greenhouse work he went to J.
M. Thorburn & Co., New York, for sev-
eral years. Then he opened for himself
near his present location, where he has
built up a nice business. He is also
manager and principal stockholder in
the Lehigh Slate Roofing Co.

The Market.

Trade the past week has been all that
could be desired and stock of all kinds
found a ready market at good prices.
This was due mainly to a number of
commencemetits and also several wed-
dings that used large quantities of flow-
ers. American Beauties were in espe-
cial heavy demand and the price ob-
tained for them was very good. Peonies
were scarce, as those in this part of the
country were not far enough advanced
to cut. There was a scarcity of sweet
peas also.

At present there! is but very little
life in trade. There does not seem to
be anything doing socially. Some very
good stock is to be had and the price
has tumbled a good ways since last
week. The weather has been warm and
it rushed in large quantities of carna-
tions, which show the eflfect of the sun.
Eoses, especially Brides and Maids, look
very sick for the most part and those that
are not mildewed have such small buds
that it is hard to sell them at any
price. Golden Gate! and Ivory are doing
very well, though it is getting to be
hard to sell them while there is a
Bride or Maid to be had. Beauties are
holding out very well and some! from
the north are very fine for this time
of year.

Peonies are now coming in by the
wagon load and it is awfully hard to
move them at anything like a paying
price. The crop will soon be over and
it will be a relief.

The green goods market is now well
supplied with everything but there is
a good demand for all kinds.

Various Notes.

H. D. Edwards was the lucky guesser
in Wm. Murphy's guessing contest. His
guess was 133,879 while the correct
number of carnations sold by Mr. Mur-
phy during the months of May and
June was 133,884. The prize was a
ticket to St. Louis.

The regular meeting of the Florists'
Society will be held Saturday, June 11,
at 8 p. m. Nominations for officers will
be in order and our annual picnic will
also be discussed. C. J. Ohmer.

Ottawa, Ont.— C. Scrim will make a
number of improvements on his place
this season, replacing old houses with
new, and will also erect some new
houses on a farm which he owns just
outside the city, where he will eventually
have a large plant.

ANNOUNCEMENT

WE TAKE PLEASURE IN ANNOUNCING THAT

FRED BURKI

Will be Disseminated in 1905 — Commencing in January.

Ff^Pfl Rllf^l^i '^ ^^^ result of a cross between Lawson and a seedling: of much merit; the latter being the seed
■ ' CU UUI l\l parent. It possesses all the good qualities to induce the most conservative growers to include it

among best whites.

HERE ARE A FEW OF ITS MERITORIOUS POINTS:

1st. The blooms come perfect and uniform, averaging 3
to SK inches in size.

Sd. The stem measures from 20 to 30 inches, being stiff and
erect and resembles that of Lawson.

3d. It never crops, but yields continuously from Novem-
ber until July.

4tli. The calyx is perfect; showing no tendency of
bursting.

5tli. Its keeping qualities, a point not to be overlooked,
are second to none and equal to the bast.

6th. It transplants easily and roots like the proverbial
weed.

Those who saw it growing are unanimous in declaring the FRED BURKI the ideal white in every respect. It has scored
88 points at the Detroit Carnation G>nvention, receiving a certificate of merit. Don't hesitate placiiag your order for
FRED BURKI. It will prove a good investment.

The Market

The flower market appears to have
lapsed suddenly into a state of chronic
midsummer dullness. Since Memorial
day the demand for stock has been very
slow. Enormous quantities of roses, car-
nations and peonies are arriving, which
find poor sale. Some very fine longi-
florum lilies and callas are to be had.
Carnations and roses are now showing
the effects of the hot weather. Our
season for outdoor flowers is now at
its height. Peonies are among the heav-
iest receipts; they are arriving at the
wholesale places by the wagon loads.

There were several large decorations
and also large funerals last week that
helped to usef up some good stock. Me-
morial day trade was good, but did
ndt come up to expectations.

Various Notes.

A. W. Smith's attractive advertise-
ment in our daily papefrs last week read
as follows: "Two dozen fresh roses in
the 'dollar box' for Saturday only." Mr.
Smith said the? sale was a great success.

Henry Phipps, one of our philanthrop-
ists, generously placed a large sum of
money at the disposal of the Board of
Directors of the Western Penitentiary,
Allegheny, Pa., for the erection and
maintenance of several greenhouses and
a palm house in the grounds of that
institute.

J. J. Higgens has taken a position
with C. T. Siebert. Hoo-Hoo.

BUTTE, MONT.

Business has been very good here this
season, especially at Decoration day,
when everything was closed out. The
Butte Floral Co. had two car loads of
plants to handle, having two temporary
stores. The first Crimson Eamblers sold
here were theirs, offered this year and
selling readily at from $4 to $8 a plant.
Law Bros, and the State Nursery Co.
also had large stocks and sold out
quickly. It was very hard to find any-
thing for sale after noon. This was
notwithstanding that the weather was bad,
cold until Friday, when it brightened up.
There was a very large demand for
funeral pieces.

Minneapolis, Minn. — Arnold Pierce,
who has been employed by florists here,
has disappeared and his wife has had
no word from him in two weeks.

The Weekly Florists' Review/

JUNB 9, 1904.

WASHINGTON.

Considering the' time of year, trade
has been very good the past few days.
This is due largely to the commence-
ment exercises. Roses and carnations
are of fairly good quality for the end
of the' season. As anticipated, business
for Decoration day was very good, prob-
ably a little better than last year. The
demand for common or low-priced flow-
ers was extremely heavy, particularly
around the markets. These flowers fit
many purposes and, being very plentiful,
they make decided inroads on the sales
of better grades of stock. Decorations
in the cemeteries were more numerous
and elaborate than ever before. The
plant trade was a big feature, the sea-
son being a little backward and much
planting was yet to be done. ITie de-
mand for bedding stock has been very
heavy this season and values have befen
better than for several years.

Capt. Ernest had the bowlers out last
Wednesday night and some very good
scores were? made. It is needless to
say that Washington will be well rep-
resented for bowling honors at St. Louis.
Following are the scores:

Columbus, O. — Eose Underwood, wid-
ow of the late John Underwood, recently
published a public notice in which she
says that she has been appointed admin-
istratrix of the estate and will continue
the business under the old name of Un-
derwood Bros. The latter now publish
a notice that Eose Underwood has no in-
terest in or control whatever of the busi-
ness of the Underwood Bros. Floral Co.,
of which they have been owners for
twenty-three years and of which they
"propose so to remain in charge, not-
withstanding" the public notice afore-
said.

The Gardeners' Magazine.

In using CYANIDE for fumigating a
hoi^se 20x150 and thirteen feet to the
ridge at the gardens of the Royal
Botanic Society, it has been found a val-
uable aid to the even distribution of
the gas to hang boards about a foot wide
and five feet long above each generator
and keep them swinging with a cord
leading outdoors.

Far FINER than the old type is Salvia
splendens grandiflora and its brilliant
scarlet calyces are much more persistent
tban is the old form.

W. J. Godfrey has been successful in
extending the chrysanthemum season well
into the new year and the Prince of Pinks
is one of the results. It is purely a
<1<"'Corative variety, of good habit, free,
'»- good color and very late. E. Moly-
•'oux says there is a great future for
•ianuary and February flowering varie-
■ics. The N. C. S. will give an exhibi-
lon of chrysanthemums grown for mar-
' <^t on December 14.

HARDENING OFF.

The term, hardening off, is used, and
seen in print, often enough, yet is the
trouble always taken to fully realize
what the expression really means! It
means the preparation of tender "plants
to withstand exposure without being in-
jured, and if this be so, is it at all times
thoroughly understood, or properly car-
ried into practice? We know it is not,
and also that many valuable subjects of
varied descriptions are annually sacriflced
through carelessness or ignorance in at-
tending to this matter.

Every one who knows anything about
the nature of plants ought to know also
that those, even such as are naturally
hardy in cold climates, which have
formed leaves and roots in a warm tem-
perature cannot endure exposure to a
much lower temperature than they have
grown in without receiving more or less
injury, unless they are previously in-
ured to their altered concUtions. It will
be seen, then, how important it is to use
good judgment in hardening off plants.

Ordinary bedding plants are sensitive;
even the most hardy of these, raised in
a high temperature. Those who have
many of these to furnish know best
how it taxes their powers to harden them
satisfactorily, unless they have plenty of
cool frames, or similar conveniences, at
command; but, failing these, it is better
to place the plants outside in the most
sheltered positions available, and cover
them during cold weather with old blinds,
or something of the kind, than to keep
them until bedding time in a close house.
In many cases more mischief is appar-
ently done to the plants, as raay be seen
if one of them is lifted and examined,
through the check to the roots, than to
that of the top growth. — Gardeners'

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

June 9. 1904.

MT. STERLING, KY.

The spring business has been better
this year than at any time in the last
ten seasons, especially in the call for
well-grown plants, which has greatly ex-
ceeded the supply. Emil Frederich says
that he thinks a great many growers
are making a mistake in trying to stuff
the market full of the "two for a nick-
el ' ' kind of plants. He says that in his
experience it is a great deal less work
to raise 100 plants which you sell at
$1.00 each than to raise 1,000 at 10
cents each and that the market for the
better kind is a great deal more sure.
He says that the trade does not want
to buy poorer plants than those they
can raise themselves and that the florist
who tries to" see how many plants he
can crowd into a greenhouse is sure to
find that he has a considerable portion
of his stock to throw away at the end
of each season.

East Orange, N. J.— F, W. Massmann
has sold out to George Smith and on June
11 sails for Grermany with his family ou
the Graf Waldersee.

"Am vety much pleased wtth the re-
sults of the advertisement; at present
have no stock to offer." — Wm. A. Fin-
ger, Hicksville, L. I., N. Y.

Orchard Park, N. Y.— M. L. Hamp-
ton & Co. are removing their establish-
ment to Springville, where they have
bought the Springville Greenhouses.

Toledo, O. — Miss Julia Imoberstag
and Otto Krueger were married June 5.
The bride is a daughter of C. F.
Imoberstag and the groom is also
a prosperous member of the trade.

The Review is "it" among the trade
papers. It has the most up-to-date and
timely articles of general interest. 1
could not get along without it.^F. J.

McSwEENEY.

"The more we advertise in the Re-
view the more we are convinced of its
advertising value. It reaches the buy-
ers, always. We disposed of nearly 10,-
000 verbenas with two insertions of our
classified advertisement." — Wm. Biee-
8TADT & Son, Springfield, 111.

I GO to the Review, for I have learned
by experience that it is the place to go
for help in time of need; it gives help,
sympathy, comfort and consolation; it
finds buyers and sellers and brings them
together; it keeps us posted in all lines
belonging to the craft, and so I like it.

Benches for Cut Flowers.

I had something to say two weeks ago
about material for benches in our houses
lor pot plants. It may be a little late to
discourse on benches and beds for our
important cut flower plants, still many
will yet be built, repaired or altered. lu
detached three-quarter-span houses with
]io glass in either front or back wall, it
would be useless to adopt anything but
the raised bench. Some old-fashioned
ranges are often seen with the houses run-
ning east and west and a five- foot wooden
partition dividing each house from its
neighbor. These also would be unfit for
anything but raised benches. So it is
with the more modern house, either those
fifty or thirty feet wide, with glass almost
to the ground, or the large blocks of
houses covering acres, with high gutters
and no partitions, that the low beds of
various designs are used.

Before we go into the subject of these
ground beds, as they may be called, let
me say that we built last year a raised
carnation bench that we like well and,
although it was only old Joost we planted
on it, nothing could possibly have done
better. The floor of the bench is hollow
brick, 15x10 inches and about two and
a half inches thick, resting on 2x4 scant-
lings fifteen inches apart and running the
length of the bench and these in turn
resting on 2x6 crosspieces every five feet.
The tops of the 2x48, where the tiles rest,
were most thoroughly plastered with wa-
ter lime (hydraulic cement) and I believe
it will outlast a board bench, except cy-
jiress, at least three times and. of course,
has the most perfect system of drainage.
It is as easy and comfortable to remove
and renew soil as on a board or plank
bench, which is not the case with round
.3-inch drain tile, often used for the pur-
pose.

While the cost of this bench is not
as great as of the one described two weeks
ago, nor yet is it as lasting, but it is
about twenty-five per cent more than one
of 2-inch plank. ^

Few Really Solid Beds.

Before we discuss the different kinds
of these low beds I want to say that
where there are tile, ashes or rubble stone
between the soil of the beds and mother
f^arth they cannot be called "solid" beds
and there are comparatively few who use
the actual solid beds for either roses, car-
nations or chrysanthemums. Yet there
are a few, and some of the most success-
fid. It is worth mentioning that one of
the few who are notably successful is in
" iitral Xow York. The soil on which the
Ik'Uvos are built is naturally good and
tnado hotter by deep plowing and workin;j
111 l>lcnty of 'animal manure. Then the
I'onsos are built with high gutters and
iir' ]>artitions. Then the beds are laid
''"It with a 6-inch board for the edge and
livo or six inches of soil goes on top of
'"••already enriched surface soil.

These roses last for five or six vears,
pi^niaps more. These are truly solid beds
•i'i'1. as their product has brought the
Inshost price in New York Citv, von can

only say that ' ' nothing succeeds like
success." The steam pipes are on the
posts that support the gutters, two or
three feet above the level of the bed«.
Vigor of growth, size of foliage and
length of stem is wonderful, as the writer
has often witnessed. With all this suc-
there are few who can follow the

cess,

plan and there are some peculiarities of
culture that are unique that I could not
attempt to explain or advise.

When the pipes are on the posts only
and all of them at least two feet above
the surface of the beds, no matter
whether they are solid beds or have tile
beneath, the radiation of heat from the
pipes is so directly vertical, or upward
to the roof, that there is a suspicion that
the atmosphere may be stagnant, without
that free circulation of air so beneficial
to plant growth. For instance, plants of
almost all kinds if put up on a shelf near
the glass, if not neglected for water, will
outstrip in robustness of growth those on
benches near the ground. It is not the
increased light or nearness to the glass
that has benefited these plants, but a
freer and purer circulation of air on all
sides of them.

With all this evidence that light an"d
the better and purer circulation of air is

I)er cent of all roses are planted annually,
and all carnations, then this great depth
of soil is time and material wasted, as
it has been proven beyond all question
that four or five inches of soil will grow
roses, carnations or chrysanthemums equal
to the greatest skill or methods yet
known.

Low Beds or Benches.

And now we come to the low beds, or
benches, with drainage of some kind be-
neath the plants and only four or five in-
ches of soil for the plants, which are by
no means solid beds. And where houses
are constructed so that they get the direct
sun on these low beds it must be a great
advantage to adopt them. I can't believe
there will be much difference in the prod-
uct of these beds and would advise the
use of whatever material is cheapest and
most available in your locality. It must
be admitted the rotting out of wooden
benches is not only costly in material
used, but the time and labor to rebuild
them. At the same time, too costly a
bed or bench, with the view to perma-
nency, in many cases is not advisable,
for the evolution of greenhouse architec-
ture and methods, has been so rapid of
late that you don't know how soon you
may want to adopt some other plan. OM
brick and tile can be used again. OM
boards and planks are utterly useless.

The Ideal Bed.

The ideal bed for roses or carnations,
in my humble opinion, is that so largely
used at the Dale Estate, Brampton, Ont.
First, two or three tiers of common brick
are laid along for the sides of the bed.
The space to the top of the bricks is filled '
in solid with any old soil you happen to

Rose House at the Establishment of John Breitmeyer's Sons, Mt. Clemens, Mich.

near the glass, the roses in the solid beds,
quoted above and whose luxuriance of
flower and foliage could not be excelled,
disproves the theory that your rose or
carnation beds must be raised two or
three feet above the surface of the house.
I am going to dismiss these solid beds
by saying that for the general grower
they are not to be recommended, for very
few have suitable conditions and as ninetv

have. On this soil, and projecting to the
outer edge of the brick wall 3-inch round
drain tiles are laid touching each other,
and for an edge is five inches of cement,
two inches wide on the tiles, tapering to
one inch at the top. This would bring
the surface of the bed, if three bricks
were used, about eighteen inches above
the paths, a most convenient height for
roses or carnations.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

JuNB 16, 1904.

We have used two bricks for the wall
and, instead of 3-inch round tile, a hol-
low brick five inches broad, four inches
thick and twelve inches long. We prefer
the hollow brick but either must be the
best of drainage. Instead of the five
inches of cement for the edge, just place
a 2x6 scantling on the edge of the hollow
bricks. True, this scantling will rot, but
not for six or seven years, and that is
quite a time to look forward to when it is
so easily replaced. This bed last de-
scribed costs about thirty per cent more
than one built of 2-inch hemlock plank.
Another ground bench is four bricks
laid up in Cement for the sides of the bed.
Then six inches of rubble stone is filled
in and on top of the stone five inches of
soil for your plants. Now, you may not
have the stone on your farm, but if you
have, this bed will cost one-half the cheap-
est wooden bench you could possibly build
and, as for drainage, I think the rubble
stone the most perfect of all. I am
aware that where stone is not plentiful,
clinkers and coarse ashes have been used
with success, yet I can't speak from ex-
perience, as is the case with the stone.

Air Not the EssentiaL

Just let me say here that we attach no
importance to the fall of the air passing
through the drain tiles or hollow bricks.
We would not seal up the ends of the
tiles to prevent it, but can see nothing
essential or beneficial in it. The drainage
is in and through between the tiles, and
as for air at the roots, they will get all
they want from the surface, the natural
way, and so these little brick walls about
eleven inches high with six inches of
rubble stone need no tiles to ventilate
the bed, as we have seen done.

It is only justice to what I have been
asserting to say that last summer we
vbuilt two of these brick beds with stone
for drainage. Each bed was 5x125 feet,
a nice width, and although planted al-
together too late with Lawson carnations
from 4-inch pots, nothing could have done
better and the quality of bloom and
strength of growth showed they were
enjoying their environment, and are
doing so to this day. The most orthodox
believer in the raised wooden bench with
2x6 plank for a bottom would not assert
that the space of one-half or three-quar-
ters of an inch between the boards or
planks was anything but for drainage,
and this six inches of stone is infinitely
better drainage than the boards.

Another Good Bench.

Still another. Supposing from one
cause or another you have no time, or
perhaps none of the needful, to build
the brick and tile bench, or the much
cheaper one with the little brick walls
and stone drainage. Then what's the mat-
ter with putting up a 12-inch plank for
the side of the bed and filling in with
six or seven inches of rubble stone or
crushed stone or clinkers? The plank will
last at least six years and will answer
all the purposes of the brick wall an*!,
although the cost of material will not be
so difl^rent, the cost and time of put-
ting it in place will be one-tenth that of
the brick. Where stone is not found on
the land, there may be stone quarries in
the neighborhood where the ' ' chip ' ' stone
is sold cheap enough. Where there is
neither, there may be brickyards where
spoiled and imperfect bricks are sold
cheap, and if none of these, you have
clinkers and the coarsest of last winter's
ashes. The quality of soil you use, com-

bined with your skill and, more than all,
care, is what will count for your success
or failure.

Those who have been uniformly success-
ful with the fast decaying, awkward to
work, laborious to fill and empty, raised
wooden benches are slow to believe in any
other. Yet I can but foresee that the
three-quarter-span, long-slope-to-the-south

house and the step ladder benches are
fast disappearing and where the modern
range of two or three acres without a
partition, devoted to one class of plants,
or the still more modern fifty-feet-wide
house with glass almost to the ground,
the raised benches are two feet of folly,
expense and worry.

William Scott.

WORK WITH BEAUTY.

Planting, which should constitute the
largest part of the work during the rest
of the month, should be vigorously
pushed, so that the young stock may make
some headway before the real hot weather
commences. Every day of delay now is
curtailing the growing season, cutting
oflf, in fact, the best and most active part
of it, especially so in the case of Beau-
ties, which should have a long season of
growth to develop a stocky, bushy plant
before putting them into crop, if we de-
sire to have them in good bearing shape
by the holiday season, when the demand
is good and prices fair.

During this month, when the majority
of the larger growers have replanted their
houses, there is frequently a demand for
Beauties and other roses which is an
inducement to defer planting for a week
or two, under the impression that this is
a saving method and that by greater care
and attention to the young stock they
can be made to catch up with the earlier
planted stock. A few seasons of experi-
ence and careful comparison where strict
records are kept will prove this to be a
fallacy, as the returns invariably show
in favor of early planting.

Beauties which are late in being plant-
ed must, in order to catch up, even in
appearance with early planted stock, re-
quire more care, attention and coddling
and are usually hustled along at such n
rapid rate that the growth is too soft
and spongy to enter on the winter with n
fair chance to set their buds in time for
the best and most remunerative market
of the season.

To secure a really good quality of
wood for this purpose plenty of ventila-
tion, both day and night, is absolutelv
necessary and if the nights are too cold
to admit of this vrithout firing, it is a
poor system of economy to withhold heat,
and this applies not only to Beauty grow-
ing but to all classes of roses under glass.
Being a rapid grower and a gross
feeder the Beauty requires large supplies
of water to keep the food in an assimil-
able form, and the soil cool. This lib-
eral use of water also entails persistent

and free from caking, which, next to
ventilation and watering, is one of the
most important essentials in Beauty grow-
ing. This should be continued until the
bench is so well filled with roots that
further cultivation might be injurious.

To prevent the insidious attacks of
thrips, fumigating should be systematic-
ally practiced. A light application once
a week, if done during the early morning,
when the house is comparatively dry and
the glass cool, will keep such pests a»
thrips and greenfly from giving muct
trouble.

To keep spider in check the syringe
must be used every day during bright
weather and during hot spells a second
syringing during the afternoon will be
of great benefit, helping to cool the house,
recharge the air with moisture, refresh-
ing the foliage and giving it that firm
and rubbery texture so noticeable in well
handled stock. To be effective syringing
must be accompanied by a good force of
water, sufficient to dislodge the spider
and break up the web under which the
eggs are deposited, and be so directed
that the under sidps of the leaves receive
the full force of the spray. In order to
accomplish this vrith safety, so that none
of the young, sappy shoots may be bro-
ken tying should be strictly attended to.
Many of the younger and less experi-
enced growers are under the impression
that the successful Beauty grower pos-
sesses some weighty secret which enables
him to produce such perfect blooms and
which he religiously guards from the
knowledge of the uninitiated. I am fre-
quantly accused by this class of growers
of withholding this secret. "You don't
give it all away in your notes," is the
comment Now the most successful grow-
ers of this rose never claim, nor do thev
possess, any such secret. It is by strict
attention to the details, carefuHy observ-
n"Ai^ habits, ^d supplyingr the wants
of the plants at the proper time, and the
exercise of sound judgment, never for-
getting that no condition or circumstance
in the cultivation cf this imperial rose is
of so little importance as not to be wor-
thy of being carefully noted for future
use; that 18 what gives them the knowl-

r pENTSTEMONS FOR CUTTING.

Will pentstemons bloom under glass
and bloom as freely as snapdragons! I
want scarlet and yellow flowers. The
house is very high and we have bright
sunshine aU winter. I did well with
sweet peas, six feet high and a white
sheet of bloom. I thought a scarlet
larkspur and lupinus. Any suggestions
will be gratefully received. A. C.

Pentstemons are among the prettiest
and most free-flowering of our hardy
border perennials where they are hardy.
Most of the species are said to be hardy
in New York state, but with us they
are not and they have to be protected
in a cold frame during winter and
planted out in spring. They may be
grown under glass for cut flowers, yet
the writer cannot remember seeing it
done. We think they could be flowered
quite easily in the early spring months
in a light house and a moderate tempera-
ture, not over 45 to 50 degrees at night.
For the amateur private gardener this
may be very interesting, but commer-
cially we don't think it would pay. Al-
though many of the species are beauti-
ful, it would be best to try the large-
flowered garden hybrids. It is rather
late now to sow the seed, so obtain small
plants from a firm which makes a spe-

cialty of perennial and herbaceous plants.
Plant them out where you can give
them water in the hot, dry weather and
lift and put on the benches before severe
frost. I do not promise this will be as
successful as your sweet peas. W. S.

PROPER FLORAL DESIGNS.

What is good taste in this matter and
why? How is one to judge new designs
and the reason? When a customer asks
for your judgment, what would you sug-
gest as most appropriate, profitable to
you, and at the same time in reasonable
keeping with good taste and progress?
Why should you discourage the use of cer-
tain designs, and urge the use of others?

The use of flowers at funerals is to
suggest the brighter and better side of
even these dark events; therefore, use
only those arrangeiaents which suggest
hopeful and sunny thoughts. Avoid sug-
gesting the circumstances of death. Some
people in ordering funeral flowers seem
to have a morbid desire to remind the
family and friends of the manner and
details of the sad event. I once knew a
thoughtless friend to order a cradle
filled with flowers to be sent to a child's
funeral. Anyone can imagine the re-
sult. Give that emblem the most frequent
use which suggests the sweetest, most
poetic and restful ideas.

Among the best designs of this type
are the pillow, which is properly the fam-
ily piece; the wreath, harp, lyre, heart,
t)ook, anchor, cross, only for its adher-
«nt8; basket, star, shield, column, cres-
cent, the simpler lodge and society em-
Diems, urn and numerous styles of loose
Clusters. Of course there are others.
Among the less desirable are the gates
X'' <:*»ai^ sickle, ax, broken wheel, and

head '%^^^^'' ^«^«'i fo"- °o^' t^« ^^'^
caa. ihe jj^j.jgj. .g ^jj^ ^jjg intricate

S^"^«a; designs which are to be
avoided if possible.

In discussing the points of a design
with a customer strive to attract his at-
tention to the beauty of arrangement
rather than to excite admiration for odd
designs. Educate your customers to ap-
preciate the how and why of certain com-
binations and arrangements far more
than the mere machinery and construc-
tion. Take every opportunity to draw
their attention to blend of colors and
grace of form. Talk up the good points
in your design work, as an artist or a
sculptor would do. Be a member of the
nearest art society, and don't be too
bashful about bringing and keeping your
own art before the public eye. To put
out your design work in the best shape
is just as important and practical as to
know the latest devices in steam heat-
ing.

The sheaf of wheat, with or without
flowers, is a good design to suggest for
an elderly person's funeral. Use with a
square bow of wide lavender or purple
ribbon, tulle or cord, with a bow knot of
smilax, or with long-stemmed flowers
scattered among the wheat. Sometimes
the quantity of flowers to be used with
the sheaf is large enough when bunched
and laid over the sheaf, to completely
hide the wheat. In such a case substi-
tute a smaller sized sheaf, bunch the
flowers as you would for an ordinary
cluster, and tie the sheaf over the stem
ends, preferably without ribbon.

Make it your settled policy to dis-
courage the use of any designs, that is
designs made on frames, under about $5.
Even for that amount your customer will
get better value in a cluster of loose

flowers than in a design, and you will be
the gainer in time and temper.

Designs, except for the better class of
funeral work, are now almost entirely dis-
carded. In wedding decorations they
are usually displaced by a lavish use of
green and long-stemmed flowers. If a
design is insisted upon, suggest a bell,
levers' knot or yoke. Of these three, the
first is much the best; the bell is a
poetical and suggestive design, or rather
a ehistor of bells of different sizes, num-
bering about five or seven. Hang as
though all were ringing at once, some
swinging one way and some another. To
be more economical as well as artistic,
cover single wire bell frames with tin
foil or gold foil and hang them in place
as they are. Trail vines and flowers
along the suspending wire among the bells
and down Jind 3 round the walls and wood-
work nearby. Do not attempt to fill a
bell solid with flowers under $12 to $15.

You will be besieged about this time
of the year to make mottoes and various
impossible emblems for graduating ex-
oreises. The average class motto is dif-
ficult of reduction to floral art. We do
not claim to be able to "hitch your
wagon to a star," or launch the inno-
cents on life 's sea, all with flowers. They
will be just as well off a week hence if
you persuade them to accept a stage set-
ting of palms and roses arranged in
keeping with the present state of civiliza-
tion. Gertrude Blair.

SPANISH IRIS.

I have read your article relating to the
forcing of the iris of Spain in the first
days of the second ^alf of May, the bulbs
being planted in October. I would be
very much obliged to you if you would
give me the following information. At
which time of the year is it convenient
to cover the bulbs with fertilizer? The
leaves are already out of the earth here
in November and do not fear the winter.
I would like to obtain flowers of iris as
early as possible in April. Which are
among the best varieties with white flow-
ers and blue flowers? You would oblige
me very much by giving me the most
explicit information on the operation to
obtain that result. France.

meaning of some of the questions. If
your paper grows in the future corre-
spondingly with the past few years you
will undoubtedly keep a staff of Slavonic,
Latin and Scandinavian interpreters for
the advantage of your European and
transcaspian subscribers.

Perhaps the best way I can help this
gentleman with my knowledge of Spanish
iris is to say thai in our climate in the
fall t>f 1900 I planted several thousands
in the open ground about the middle of
November. The soil was a heavy, rich
loam that had been well prepared the
previous spring with animal manure. T
can scarcely believe that if the bulbs
are sound and of good size its quality
would make much difference to the flow-
ers produced the following spring. About
the time heavy frost occurred we put
three inches of stable litter over the
beds, but that did not prevent frost from
penetrating the ground at least a foot,
so the bulbs are perfectly hardy. They
did not flower with us till June 20. Beau-

tiful as they are, they are so late i»
flowering that they are not desirable as
spring flowering bulbs because they do
not admit of the summer flowering plants
occupying the beds.

I don't know the part of France this
subscriber resides in, yet I do know there
is a great difference between the clittiate
of Brittany and Normandy and the south-
ern provinces bordering on the Pyrenees.
It seems to me, in any part of France,
that if these irises were planted in frames
in October, protected from hard freez-
ing up to February 1 and then glass put
over them, that they could be had in
flower by the middle of April. You can
buy them in several colors and it is
merely a matter of guess what will be
in most demand. We think, the white
and blue are most admired. As a forc-
ing bulb they are not a great success and
it is difficult with us to get them into
flower before April 1. In the open
ground no fertilizer is needed in the
spring. W. S.

COMMERCIAL FLOWERS.

It is safe to say that the greatest pjirt
of the flowers sold commercially are
grown from plants set out after the mid-
dle of June and, considering the compara-
tively short time they have to grow, the
results are remarkable. Conditions with
the commercial grower are very different
to those governing the private individual,
who only grows a few plants and does
not have to worry about the outcome of
the crop financially. The margin in
growing for the market is today so small
that it sometimes calls for some close
figuring to determine whether or not a
crop has paid for handling.

A good deal depends on what is used
to fill the houses in the winter time, after
the chrysanthemums are marketed. Some
use the space to good advantage in hand-
ling bedding plants, others grow lettuce,
or tomatoes, or carnations that have been
carried along in pots until they can be
planted in the benches. "While it may
seem out of place at this time to be dis-
cussing what crop to follow with, instead
of the chrysanthemum crop itself, still the
careful man is he who plans long enough
ahead so that he is not caught unawares.

I have several times been asked how
much I think the grower should receive
for a crop of flowers of the best possible
grade, that is to say of the exhibition
size and finish, and my answer is $50 per
hundred, wholesale, and I do not believe
there is much of a future in growing them
for that. For the past year or two very
few flowers have wholesaled at that figure
in New York, or anywhere else, so far as
I can find out. The question for the
grower to figure out is whether it will
pay him better to plant ten inches apart,
keep to one stem and grow the very best
flowers, than to plant closer, run two or
more stems to a plant and take about
three medium flowers from the same
bench space that he w:ould take one.

Every grower must be influenced by
his market, though personally T always
like to grow the best only, and this will
probably hold true for anyone shipping

to a wholesale market. In times of ex-
cessive glut the best flowers will always
sell, even though they may sometimes run
much lower in value than they should,
while small, poor stock has to be merci-
lessly sacrificed and sometimes never sold
at all. There always seem to be more than
enough poor mums from the time the
market opens till it closes, though ono
can once in a while make a ten strike
with the special stock.

The florists living in smaller towns can
generally do much better with a medium
grade of flowers, though I would advise
anyone to have a few just as fine as it
is possible to get them for the sake of the
advertising they give. Such flowers often
prove valuable in educating your custom-
ers up to a better grade of stock at a
correspondingly enhanced price. The pro-
vincial florist finds he can sell ten flowers
for a quarter each to one at 50 or 75
cents each, and grows accordingly, and
many of them can use best a grade that
runs much cheaper, even, than that.

The chrysanthemum has come to be so
generally regarded as a cheap flower that
some people will exhibit a tendency to
heart failure if asked to pay a good price
for good stock and they profess to see
no difference between your good flowers
and the rubbish the street man is selling
outside the door. If every grower grew
good flowers, would not try to undersell
his competitor and preached the gospel of
good flowers at a fair price there would
be more money in growing chrysanthe-
mums.

We hear sometimes of a new variety
that is particularly recommended as a
commercial sort. I have never yet solved
the problem of what constitutes the dif-
ference between a commercial and an ex-
hibition variety. I realize that some va-
rieties do not ship well and cannot stand
the rough usage that market flowers aro
subjected to; but, admitted that for a
shipping trade one has to grow incurving
varieties, why on earth has every florist
in the country to blindly follow some-
one else's lead and grow just Appleton,

Eaton and one or two others when he can
sell his flowers direct from the plants at
home without having to face the problem
of shipping them away?

The general public is always attracted
by the odd colors in an exhibition and
does it not follow that they would buy
them more readily than the eternal wluto
and yellow if they could only get them?
Why not experiment in this line a little?
I had a conversation the other day with
a florist who grows several houses of
mums for his home trade and it developed
that he runs almost entirely on what aro
generally classed as exhibition kinds, fan-
ciful shapes and colors, and, what is most
important, he is making money. He ha^
discovered that his customers are always
craving for something new and distinct
and his customers have discovered that
they can depend on him to supply flowers
that they cannot buy elsewhere; the re-
sult is pleasing to both parties.

Why do not other florists with a home
trade do likewise? I have personally
sold at a good price varieties like Nellie
Pockett and Mrs. T. W. Pockett, kinds
that the average wholesale grower does
not dream of growing, as they have not
been officially classed as commercial va-
rieties. My idea of a commercial variety
is one that sells, no matter what its shape
and color, though if one has to ship the
flowers any distance to market, kinds like
Eaton or Appleton will stand more hard
knocks than the loose petalled varieties.

ALPINE PLANTS.

[A paper by Carl Blomberir, of North Easton.
Mass.. read before the Boston Gardeners and
Florists' Club, May 17, 1904.]

Among hardy perennials and shrubby
plants we have many which love to live
on ledges and rocks, or between crevices.
They call them alpines because a great
many of them grow on the highest Alps
and near the region of snow, at eleva-
tions of 13,000 feet or more. There are
some which cannot be cultivated in the
New England states, but a great many
of them, under a skillful cultivator's
hand, will give good results. It is not
my intention to say that these plants are
all useful for the florists' trade, or to
use a more vulgar expression, commer-
cially, but for the individual who loves
plants and can appreciate their beauty,
however inconspicuous their flowers may
b(, they are interesting and we certainly
have among the alpines many gems.

The most common way of cultivating
alpines is upon what are called rockeries,
or rough stones laid together in dif-
ferent forms and methods. No wood or
tree roots should be used to supplement
any of them. They must be all stone.
The kind of stone is seldom a matter of
importance; everyone will use what is
most convenient. The rougher and more
unshapely the blocks the better. They
must be firmly wedged and interlocked
and depend upon one another, and not
on the soil between them, to keep them
in their places. This rule is of the ut-
most importance and if it be neglected,
a long frost or an excessive rainfall
may cause the whole structure to col-
lapse.

Wherever there is a steep bank, facing
south or east, it may be utilized for the
growth of alpines. The stones, as before
advised, should be large and unshapely
and should be buried to two-thirds of
their bulk and form a very uneven sur-
face, all being interlocked from top to
' bottom. Rockeries of this form are less

A Water-Garden in the Park at Los Angeles, CaL

liable to suflfet from drought. If the
surface covered is large, access to all
piirts should be provided by means of
convenient paths or stepping stones, be-
cause, although every stone in the struc-
ture should be capable of bearing the
weight of a heavy man without danger
of displacement, it is better not to have
t(- tread upon the surface.

With regard to soil, we must take care
that it does not retain stagnant moist-
ure, and yet it must not dry up too read-
ily. Plants should be able to penetrate
it easily with their roots. Good loam
with a little humus in the form of leaf-
mold or peat and hatf or three-quarters
of the whole composed of stone riddlings,
niake up a soil in which most alpines are
quite contented. Where we are convinced
that lime is useful it may be added as
pure lime, not planting until the same is
thoroughly slaked by mixture with the
soil. Bough surface dressing is a thing
in which all alpines delight, as it keeps
the surface of the soil sweet and moist
and prevents their leaves being fouled.
Dse for this purpose the same riddled
«t«>ne as mentioned before, which is bet-
ter than gravel, as round stones are eas-
ily washed oflp the slope.

Now a few words about planting. It
IS better not to be in a hurry to see
the stones covered. It would be easy to
• over them with growth in a single sea-
son, but it would be harmful to the cul-
tivator. We must not degrade choice
alpines by putting them to keep com-
p{;ny with vinca, galium, hypericum, gle-
cnoma, fast running sedums, Campanula
•■iipunculoides, Hieracium aurantiacum
«'id others of the same habit. Indeed,
there are some plants, of which Coronilla

varia is one, which, when once estab-
liehed among large stones, cannot be
eradicated by any means short of pull-
ing the whole structure to pieces. Any
plant which runs under a large stone and
reappears on the other side should be
treated cautiously. As a rule nothing
should be planted which cannot be easily
and entirely eradicated in a short time.
If a rockery is large there is no reason
for limiting the area to be assigned to
each plant, especially to such as are orna-
mental when in flower and not iinsightly
at other seasons. If different rockeries,
or separate parts of the same, can be as-
signed to rapid growers and to dwarf,
compact plants it will be an advantage.

There are many subjects belonging to
the class of rock plants (alpine), which
require to be displayed in a broad and
high mass to do them full justice. Au-
brietias, for example, or Veronica pros-
trate, should look like purple or blue
cataracts; others should be unlimited in
b:eadth, like the dwarf, mossy phloxes,
or the silvery Cerastium Biebersteinii.
Sr.ch things do not like being cropped
around to limit their growth and if there
is not enough room for them, they had
better be omitted.

Whatever is grown, the small and deli-
cate gems of the collection must run no
danger of being smothered by over-
spreading neighbors and require both
careful management and constant watch-
ing. The following species may be men-
tioned as suitable for cultivation:

Achillea Egyptiaca is a silvery plant
in all its parts, with finely cut leat-es and
handsome heads of yellow flowers and
with something of the grace of a fern in
its leaves. Plant in sunny spots. A.

tonicntosa is one of the tufted plants,
with flat corymbs of bright-yellow flow-
ers. A millefolium The Pearl has white
heads, and A. millefolium roseum, red.
This is good for cutting purposes, A.
ageratifolia, A. aurea and A. rupestris
are other desirable varieties.

Adonis vernalia is a handsome plant,
requiring moist, sandy soil and should
not be disturbed for years. Ajuga rep-
tans and A. Genevensis are of easy cul-
ture. Alyssum saxatile is one of the best
of the early yellow spring flowers. Good
anemones are Japonica. pulsatilla, nemo-
rcsa, hepatica and Virginiana. Ane-
monella thalictroides and antennarias,
the latter with white, downy foliage,
eft'ective for carpeting, are good. The
anthericums, or St. Bnino's lilies, are
graceful, lily-like alpine pasture plants,
among the most beautiful of hardy flow-
ers. Though rather taller than most rock
plants, their alpine association as well
ari their l)eauty should give them a place
among the more vigorous plants or
among the rock garden shrubs. The best
varieties of this genus for outdoor cul-
ture are A. Hookerii, A. liliastrum, A.
liliago and A. ramosum. Anthyllis vul-
ntraria and A. montana are well worth
growing.

Aquilegias, beautiful in habit, color
and form of flower, are widely distrib-
uted over the northern and mountain re-
gions of Europe, Asia and America.
These require to be carefully planted in
sandy or gritty though moist ground
and in well-drained pockets in the rock
garden in half shady positions. Good
species to grow are A. canadensis, A.
chrysantha, A. ca?rulea and A. glandulosa.
The latter is a native of the Altai moun-

tains of Siberia and is a fine rock garden
plant in well-drained, deep, sandy soil.

Arabis alpina is very early flowering
and of easiest culture in rather dry soil.
Arctostaphylos Uva-Ursi is a small, trail-
ing evergreen with shining, coriaceous
leaves and flesh-colored flowers and g^ows
well in dry soil. The armerias are a
handsome group of alpines, flowering
from June to August. They like warm,
sandy soil. Good species to grow are A.
cephalotes, A. vulgaris, A. Laucheana, A.
dianthoides and A. plantaginea. Asper-
ula cynanchica and A. odorata are useful.

The large genus aster contains many
good plants worth cultivating. The
later varieties can be arranged in the
background of the alpine garden. Here
our native species show their forms in
gracefulness and color, and among these
are Isevis, multiflorus, turbinellus, pani-
culatus, dumosus, vimineus, ericoides,
polyphyllus, corymbosus, diffusus, undu-
latus, spectabilis, Shortii, Novse-Angliae,
patens, ptarmicoides and sericeus. Among
European varieties A. alpinus, A. amel-
lus, A. Bessarabicus and the Japanese
A. Maackii. In half shady spots may
be grown the charming A. Stracheyi, four
to six inches high, a native of the west-
em Himalayas.

About the genus aubrietia Dr. Wm.
Robinson says: "If there were but one
family of rock plants known to us, this,
which gladdens the rocks of Greece and
all near countries with its soft colors
in the dawn of spring, would be almost
enough to justify the lovers of rock
plants for any extravagance in their
behalf. In these plants all difficulties
of culture, increase, soil, etc., fly away,
and, though from the hills above the cities
of Greece, on the sites ennobled in human
story, they are as happy in our land as
the grasses of our fields. There is hardly
a position selected for a rock plant that
may not be graced by them." A. del-
tcidea grandiflora and A. deltoidea
Campbelli are the best varieties.

Campanula alpina, C. carpatica, C.
rotundifolia, C. caespitosa, C. Eainerii
and C. pulla are good rock plants. Cala-
mintha glabella, Chimaphila maculata,
Cornus canadensis and C. Suecica are all
good. Colchicum autumnale thrives well
in a moist, rich soil. Coptis trifolia and
Corydalis nobilis are two gems. Cory-
dalis fabacea, from Sweden, loves a
shady spot. Cotoneaster buxifolia and

C. rotundifolia are reliable.
Cypripediums must not be omitted.

Suitable species are C. acaule, C. specta-
bile, C. pubescens, C. arietinum and C.
montanum. Cytisus scoparius and C. al-
bus are good. Dalibarda repens likes
deep, peaty soil, while the pretty Daphne
Cneorum delights in a calcareous soil.
Dentaria bulbifera, D. diphylla and D.
maxima are interesting. Dianthus con-
tains some useful subjects, such as D.
arenarius, D. deltoides, D. plumarius, D.
proliferus and D. superbus. The latter
is liable to perish in winter in rich, moist
soil. Dicentras are very ornamental. D.
cucullaria and D. eximia should be in
every garden. Dodecatheon Meadia au'l

D. integrifolium are well known. Draco-
cephalum Altaiense, native of Siberia,
will not be frozen out in New England.
Dryas octopetala prefers moist, peaty
soil. Epigsea repens, or Mayflower, is
the member of the Ericaceae most dear to
New England people, with its delicate
fragrance and pretty flowers. It does
not transplant easily.

Epimediums like peat and shade. Gaul-

theria procumbens needs a peat soil
pocket. Some of the gems of the alpine
garden are found among the gentians.
They are hard to cultivate and impatient
of disturbance. G. acaulis, from the
Alps; G. linearis and G. Andrewsii, from
New England; G. Pneumonanthe, G. ni-
valis and G. tenella, from Swedish moun-
tains, will grow in moist soil battered
in the rocks.

Geranium maculatum and G. sanguin-
eum are handsome, species to be recom-
mended. Helleborus orientalis and H.
viridis are useful in spring. Houstonia
cserulea will thrive in a moist spot.
Iberis sempervirens is one of the best
dwarf perennials grown; it makes a
grand rock plant. There are a good
many irises, which, in spring and early
summer, brighten up the rock garden;
such are the native I. cristata, versicolor
and many more; also I. Germanica, I. pu-
mila, I. Histrio and I. Sibirica.

In Switzerland there grows a plant,
the flower heads of which are envdoped
in woolly bracts and which in botanical
language is given the name Leontopo-
dium alpinum, or Gnaphalium Leonto-
podium, but by the inhabitants it is
called the edelweiss, "noble white." It
likes a firm, well-drained light, calcar-
eous soil. The more lime or chalk the
soil contains the brighter and purer white
are the flower bracts. By natural habit
it is a true perennial, but it seems to
me better to handle it as a biennial.
What leontopodium wants, as nearly all
alpine plants want, is a dry base. It
may, therefore, be desirable for all (save
edelweiss) to take them up in fall and
winter them inside.

Having already taxed your patience
severely, and as time will not permit a
continuance of this alphabetical list, I
shall be pleased to do so on some future
occasion.

SEASONABLE CULTURE.

Now that you have all your young
plants out and started off nicely there
is plenty to do to keep you busy until
housing time. You need not be idle one
minute for want of something to do.
Don't forget that it is impossible to
cultivate them too much. At least once
each week, and oftener if it rains, you
should run through them as soon after
each rain as you can work the ground.
Then you can go through them occn-
sionally with the hoe and loosen up
the soil between the plants in the row
and hoe out the weeds.

We have had plenty of rain so far in
our locality and during this time is when
you should be getting your soil into
good condition to withstand a long, dry
spell, as it may come almost any time
and it would be strange if it did not
come some time during July or August.
Keep the soil worked loose, so that
every rain can soak in to be used later
on, when no water comes from above
for a while. Cultivate deeply.

The plants we set out first are grow-
ing into fine, bushy plants and after
making another lot of breaks as a re-
sult of the topping they are getting now
they will be large enough to house if
we are ready to house them. Keep
them topped close, however, clear up to
housing time, so the plants will be
stocky and short.

If you have some planted for fall
blooming outside you should not to])
them any more, but let them come as
fast as they want to. If a dry spell
sets in, give them a good soaking every
few days to help them along. These will
appreciate it as they are not intended
to be lifted later on. You want to keep
them growing as strong as you can.

There is a vast difference between the
plant which is to bloom where it stands
and the one which is being prepared to
undergo transplanting with the least poss-
fiible check. You want to handle the
former much the same as you do the

latter after it has become well estab-
lished in the house in the fall, that is,
plenty of water and all possible en-
couragement to make a strong growth
and a heavy crop of large blooms. If
you have some old stable manure it will
be very beneficial to mulch them about
an inch thick with it, to keep them from
drying out and a little extra food won't
hurt them.

Under no conditions, however, should
you apply the above treatment to the
plants which you expect to house later
on. The one word "cultivate" em-
braces the whole field treatment of these
plants and the more you practice it the
better will be your plants. Mind, I
don't say larger, but better. The larg-
est is not always the best and especially
is this true in this case. Just the same
as a large bloom without substance is
not so desirable as a medium-sized
bloom which can be shipped across the
continent. A. F. J. Baur.

SNAILS.

Please tell us what to apply for snails
in a bed of carnations. They are right
in the heart of the blossoms and eat
them badly. I hand-pick them every
morning but there are as many more the
next morning. Please answer in the
Review, as it may benefit someone else
with like trouble. A. L, S.

I have many snails in my carnation
benches. What shall I do to get rid of
them. J. G. A.

Snails are among the most disagree-
able greenhouse pests, and they are not
easy to combat. Hand picking is, of
fourse, effective as far as you are able
to find them, but "each morning there
seems to be as many as ever before."
You can destroy many by spraying the
plants with some poison, like Paris
green, diluted in water, and you can
keep them down by dusting the plants
thoroughly with tobacco dust or lime.
They will not travel where there is much
•lust, as it adheres to them on account
of the slimy substance they are covered
with. Strong salt water will kill them,

too but you must pick the blooms close
be/ore applying it. When you replant
the house be sure you give all the wood-
work a good coating of hot lime wash
and throw plenty of slaked lime around
under the benches and in the dark cor-
ners; that's where they hide mostly. If
you can do it, let the house dry out
thoroughly before refilling it. Snails
like darkness and moisture, as is shown
by their habit of spending most of their
time under boards and in cellars, etc.
If you can empty the house entirely
when refilling a good sulphur fumigating
will also help materially.

BUG EATS BLOOM.

My carnations are greatly troubled by
an insect in the form of a green lady
bug. From this time until after the
chrysanthemums are through blooming
this pest gives me much trouble, eating
thef petals from the flower. Advice
as to a remedy would be very accepta-
ble. G. A. D,

I am not sure that I know just how
you are situated nor am I familiar with
the bug you are troubled with. If your
plants are growing in the open it will
naturally be much harder to combat the
pest than if the plants are growing in
the greenhouse. Since the bug is a
chewer I would naturally suppose that
the most effective remedy would be to
poison them. Either spray them in the
evening with Paris green, about a good
teaspoonful to three gallons of water, or
dust them with slugshot or hellebore. If
you are cutting and selling the blooms
the spraying would be the best, as it
does not show so much on the growth.

A. F. J. Baur.

SPLIT STEMS.

I send some carnation plants from cut-
tings made in November, taken from the
bench as soon as rooted and planted in
good sandy loam. They seem to split.
I am also troubled with dry rot or stem
rot. The rose cuttings suffer the sanie
way. N. J. M.

I am sure I could not tell you what
could have caused the base of the stem
on your carnation cuttings to split. I
have never seen anything like it before.
They looked to me as though they had
been split with a knife when the cut-
tings were made, but I presume such
was not the case, else you would not
complain of it. There was also a plain
case of stem rot on all the cuttings and
if the cuttings were mine I would be
tempted to fire the whole batch into the
boiler. They will give you trouble all
through the season and will never
amount to anything. There is plenty
of good, healthy stock offered at rea-
sonable prices and it will pay you well
to buy new, healthy stock of the varie-
ties which are affected.

[Peach Thomas' Rivers, Grown by Wm. Turner at the Borden PIace« Oceanic, N. J,

SOME JERSEY^ESTATES.

Calling on William Turner, at Oceanic,
we found him with two houses of peaches
and nectarines sprayed with the salt,
lime, sulphur solution, fifteen pounds
salt, twenty pounds sulphur and forty
pounds of lime to sixty gallons of water.
Most of the wood smaller than a lead
pencil was killed. The stronger wood and
flower buds were not affected at all. It
is rather curious, as the writer of this
had the same experience, but mine were
much more damaged as they were
sprayed twice. His early peaches are
Dutches of York, a new seedling of
Thomas Rivers, and Hale's Early, ten
days later. For a late peach Thomas
Eivers beats any peach grown under
glass. They are about twelve inches in
circumference and of the finest flavor,
shape and color. Some of them weigh
fifteen ounces.

There are three graperies here. The
early varieties are Black Hamburg,
Buckland Sweetwater and Boynton Mus-
cat. His main crop varieties are Madres-
field Court and Muscat of Alexandria.
About fourteen varieties in all are
grown here. Pineapple fruit, which is
seldom grown in houses in this country,
can, in season, be seen here grown to
perifection. Mr. Turner has had fruit
which weighed from nine to twelve
pounds. He has three houses vrith mel-
ons and has melons the whole year
around, even through the dark days of
December and January. Cucumbers,
beans, tomatoes, cauliflower and lettuce
are also grown under glass.

Boses, violets and carnations are
grown extensively. Mr. Turner is noted
for his fine carnations. He plants Pros-

perity in boxes four feet long, the depth
seven inches, the width six. We never
saw such a crop of bloom on Prosperity.
Not so much grass as in benches, the
growth goes right to flowering stem.
Orchids are grown in large quantities for
cut flowers, mostly cattleyas, Iselias and
cypripediums. About 200 Odontoglossum
grande are grown in a house on the north
side of a rose house and a finer lot
cannot be found in this country; some
of the flowers last fall measured seveu
inches across. They are grown in Bel-
gian leaf-mold.

The collection of palms is one of the
finest in this country, including Kentia
Alberta, K. Duckhamii, K. Sanderiana,
K. Macarthuri, K. Kirsteniana, which
looks more like a caryota than a ken-
tia; Phoenix Boebelenii, P. rupicola
with twenty feet spread, the finest
Chamserops humilis in this country, about
thirty-six feet in circumference, and
many more. There are twenty-eight
houses in all and everything raised on the
place is used by the owner, M. C. D.
Borden. This is one of the finest ranges
of houses in any private place in the
country, with all the latest improvements,
700 incandescent lamps lighting the
greenhouses. Mr. Turner has charge of
the whole place, also of an extensive
farm.

G. H. Hale is superintendent of the
E. D. Adams' estate. This is one of the
most beautifully laid out places in this
vicinity. Some of the finest evergreens
and conifers can be seen there. Six
houses are in this place, one house with

ties, two graperies, one just started, and

about 150 Primula obconica grandiflora
which is a fine thing and ought to be
more grown for cut flowers. The sten\s
are about fifteen inches long and blooms
all winter, seeds to be sown in March.
Mr. Hale thinks they would do even bet-
ter in benches. A good deal of bulbous
stock is used. Mr. Hale showed us ever-
greens twenty feet high which he move<.l
three years ago and not a single tree
was lost. They showed a" growth of
twenty inches from the same year. He
believes in moving evergreens in winter
with a frozen ball. Ilex crenata is
planted as a hedge in an irregular shape
from the residence to the road and kept
very low. This looks better for fancy
hedge than anything we know of.

Our next visit was to James Loeb's
and Jacob H. Shiff's place, and we met
the superintendent, Mr. Kettel. This is
quite a new place. There is a fine Italian
garden and in one of the greenhouses
are some Brides and Maids which are
three years old on raised benches and bet-
ter biooms were never grown around
here. About 25,000 bulbs are forced here.
A house 60x60 full of bedding stuff is
used later for chrysanthemums.

Bordering on this place is the exten-
sive estate of W. F. Havemeyer, Hugh
McCarren, gardener. This also is a new
place and beautifully laid out. There is
not much glass here except for bedding
stock and a palm house.

There are about forty-five private es-
tates along the Rumson, adjoining each
other, beautifully laid out and well taken
care of, which make these surroundings
one of the finest in New Jersey.

AMERICAN PEONY SOCIETY.

Tlie attendance was disappointingly
small at the meeting of thci American
Peony Society at New York June 8 and
y. Among those present were C. J. Mal-
loy, of Ellwanger & Barry, Rochester;
Wm. A. Peterson, of Chicago; E. A.
Beeves, of Cleveland, and J. U. Humph-
reys, Philadelphia, but most of the rest
of the attendance was local. C. W.
Ward presided. The discussion liad al-
most wholly to do with the disentangle-
ment of peony nomejiclature. The com-
mittee reported that it had compiled a
descriptive list of some ],100 distinct
varieties and several promises of addi-
tional descriptions were made.' It was
proposed to plant a trial ground under
the supervision of Prof. John Craig, at
Cornell University.

There was some discussion on time of
planting, blight, the use of lime and other
questions. It was thought that holding
the meeting in conjunction with that of
the NurserjTnen 's Association would .it-
Iract a largen- attendance next year. Th^
matter was left with the directors. C.
W. Ward was re-elected president and
all the other members of the board of of-
ficers were returnf<d save that T. E. Smith,
of Gemeva, N. Y., succeeds C. S. Harri-
son as a director. Prof. Craig was ap-
pointed chairman of the nomenclature
committee and J. H. Humphreys of the
press committee.

The exhibition was not what had been
anticipated, but Mr. Ward staged a
splendid collection of 200 varieties and
was awarded the $50 gold medal. C.
Betscher, of Canal Dover, sent a large
exhibit and Siebrecht & Son were well
represented. Other exhibitors were tlio
Andorra Nurseries, Frank Gould and
Sunnyside Greenhouses. The exhibition

was in conjunction with that of the
Horticultural Society of New York,
which included many seasonable things
of interest. •

NEBRASKA PEONIES.

We are in receipt of blooms of fifty
varieties of seedling peonies from J. F.
Rosenfield, the peony specialist, of West
Point, Neb. The colors range from
lightest pinks to the darkest reds, with
some of exceptionally bright color in
which the size and form of flower is ex-
cellent. A number of Mr. Rosenfield 's
seedlings have been under test for some

HOTBED AND HOUSE.

In trying to economize time and ma-
terial, I have been endeavoring to con-
struct a plan of a vegetable forcing
house that I wish to use as a hot-bed
for the first year and would like some
information as to its advisability. I am
able to get glass at a very reasonable
rate, but have not the time nor the means
to erect a completely equipped forcing

house this year, but am in need of hot-
beds for starting early vegetable plants
for outdoor planting. As I expect to
put up a vegetable house next year,
would it be economy to use the glass in
temporary sash for one season and then
transfer it to the new house next year?
Could I build a forcing house and use it
as a regular hot-bed with horse manuro
for heating, and would such a plan be ad-
visable? W. K.

I must say that a combination hotbed
and forcing house does not altogether
strike my fancy and I would advise the
subscriber to try and complete his house
if possible. But, of course, one has to
go according to his means. As the old
saying goes, "No one knows where the
shoe pinches, but the one who wears it."
Of course the plan he suggests could
be tried and might serve the purpose all
right. If the soil were excavated deep
enough to allow of three feet of manure,
and if this were well packed, I should
think it would retain enough heat to pull
through early vegetable plants, providing
it was not stafted before the beginning
of March.

I do not think it would be economy to
use the glass in temporary sash for the
first season and then transfer it to the
new house next year; I would rather be
in favor of procuring the sash and keep-
ing them as such ; they are very convenient
to have around, as they can be used
for the raising and protection of numer-
ous subjects and if the subscriber means
to go into the raising of vegetable plants
they would be almost a necessity for the
hardening off of those plants, which hard-
ening off is very essential before the
plants are transferred to the open air.

RECEIPTS FROM CUCUMBERS.

Based on Boston wholesale prices for
cucumbers, about what should the gross
receipts for a season or a year be for
an even-span house 24x120 and twelve
feet to ridge if properly handled? ■

W. B. S.

Such a house ought to produce in the
neighborhood of 15,000 cucumbers in the
.season. Prices fluctuate so in Boston, as
in other places, that it is hard to give
an exact estimate, but a fair average,
taking the season all through would be
about 7 cents per fruit, which would give
gross receipts of $1,050.

NEW YORK.

The Market

The market has settled early into its
usual summer quiet. The excessive heat
and enormous shipments of flowers last
week to the wholesalers simply hastened
the inevitable. From now until after
the S. A. F. convention there can be but
little improvement.

Peonies are everywhere, at the exhi-
bitions, in the streets, on the counters
and worse than all else, in the ice boxes
unsold. Even at 50 cents a hundred on
Saturday there was no demand. The
stock was superb, but even a New York
market cannot withstand the cyclone of
oversupply. A good deal of the rose
stock is inferior. Water lilies are ar-
riving from Lecakes' Connecticut pond
and are of fine quality.

early part of the week was succeeded by
cool' weather on Friday, whieli continued
until Monday, when the heat of summer
was again in evidence.

Club Meetiaz.

The New York Florists' Club held its
final meeting for the season on Monday
and a splendid attendance encouraged
the officers in their efforts to make this
the banner year of the organization. It
was peony night and ladies' night also.
Between 100 and 200 enjoyed the even-
ing's festivities and it was close to
midnight before Auld Lang Syne wa.s
was sung. John Birnie 's * ' surprise ' '
proved to be a Scotch piper and three
handsome Scotch lassies in Highland
costume, who danced charmingly. Every-
body was delighted w^ith the children
and their work showed wonderful abil-
ity and training. Prof. Cameron is a
master of bagpipes and played many
times to the evident joy of every Scot-
tish heart. A string band added to the
harmony of the night. T. S. Black con-
tributed Scotch songs, Samuel Burns, of
Jersey City, told humorous stories, Alex
Wallace sang Fair Glenlochy, J. A.
Shaw gave a recitation and S. S. But-
terfield sang sweetly his old song, * ' Sally
in Our Alley." J. B. Nugent was the
master of ceremonies. Ice cream, cake
and strawberries were abundant and alto-
gether the evening was one of the most
enjoyable in the club's history.

Owing to the weather the peony ex-
hibit was not an extensive one. Georgo
T. Schuneman, of Baldwins, L. I.,
showed vases of dark red, light and
dark pink varieties and Chas. Lenker, of
Freeport, his rose colored Fragrance and
a collection of fifteen Japanese varieties,
also his double pink and double white,
Victoria. Mr. Stewart, of the commit-
tee on resolutiong, reported as to the
death of the mother of one of the club
members, Peter Devoy, of Poughkeep-
sie. The transportation coramitteo.
through Mr. O'Mara, reported favorably
in behalf of the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road as the route to the convention. This
will give opportunity to join the florists
of Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wash-
ington, assurances from these cities hav-
ing already been received as to their
co-operation. The train leaves New
York at 10 a. m., reaches Philadelphia

at 12, Baltimore at 2 p. m. and Wash-
ington at 4 p. m., arriving at Cincin-
nati early in the morning and affording
ii daylight entiy to St. Louis. The cost
of a fifteen-day ticket was announced as
$23.25, the Pullman $6. Befreshments
will not be wanting. The club unani-
mously endorsed the committee's deci-
sion. About fifty are expected from
New York and vicinity, , Henry Eeimels,
of Cedar Lane, L. I., was proposed for
membership.

The proposition from the Siege!
Cooper Co. to hold a flower show in
November was commented on favorably,
but the endorsement of the club was not
given, although exhibits by individual
members were encouraged. Mr. O'Mara,
for the committee on awards, gave
credit to the exhibitors and dwelt elo-
quently upon the future of the peony,
declaring it to be "on the crest of the
wave of popularity." The house commit-
tee received an appropriation of $50.
The next meeting of the club was an-
nounced for the second Monday in Sep-
tember.

Two handsome specimens of the im-
provfKl Piersoni fern were placed on ex-
liibition and the committee in commend
ing it announced a visit to be made
shortly where it is growing, after which
the club's recognition of its value will
be made ofticially. The exhibits were
generously distributed by Mr. Lenker
and Mr. Schuneman to the ladies. The
club's special nights are all provided
for until 1905 and grow more enjoyable
as the year progresses.

Various Notes.

Miss Marion, daughter of Chas. Hen-
derson, of Peter Henderson & Co., was
married on Tuesday evening last at her
father's home in Hackensack, N. J. The
force of Jno. Young, Jr., was two days
completing the elaborate floral display
for the occasion. The bridal bouquet
was of white orchids and lily of the val-
ley.

The sympathy of his friends is ten-
dered Charles W. . Siebrecht, of New
Rochelle, in the Ions of his only son.

Herman Keller, formerly with Dreyer,
of Woodsiele, will build a range of glass
on Jackson avenue this summer. His
ability as a plantsman ensures him suc-

cess and an abundance of New York
customers.

Wm. Ghormley is welcomed back to
Twenty-eighth street after a month's en-
forced vacation with his old enemy,
rheumatism.

The exodus to the country and to Eu-
rope is on in earnest. John Theilmanu,
of Brooklyn, and L. W. Wheeler have
taken time by the forelock and already
had their share of ozone in the moun-
tains in a two weeks' vacation. J. H.
Troy and family start for Europe in a
few days and the veteran youth, Samuel
Henshaw, and his wife will cross the
pond again and summei- in England.

Mr. Guttman is booked for the whole
of June in the jury box and says the
experience to date has been more novel
than disagreeable.

The souvenir program of the New
York Florists' Club commemorating the
coming outing was distributed on Satur-
day and demonstrates the liberality of
the members. Prizes for over thirty
athletic contests aggregating consider-
ably ove:r $200 have been provided. A
large number of tickets have already
been disposed of and everything points
to June 29 as a gala day in the club's
history.

Alex Smith, of Woodside. L. I., was
married yesterday to one of Brooklyn's
fair lady florists, thus following in the
wise footstaps of his twin brother.

Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Kreshover sail on
Thursday for Hamburg for a business
and pleasure tour of Europe, returninji
on September 20.

Wm. Elliott & Sons will have a special
palm sale at thoir auction rooms June
21. This will be the bannfr sale of the
season. Since the marriage of W. J.
Elliott on Saturday, June 4, his selling
voice is particularly persuasive and
mellow and good prices have prevailed.
This was one of the June weddings you
read about and another prophecy is ful-
filled. There is still another floricultur-
ist whose bachelor days are numbered.

The surplus of the Brooklyn Horticul-
tural Society will be returned pro rata to
subscribers.

The Market

Some of the wholesalers say that we did
not paint conditions half bad enough in
our report last week and certainly there
has been little improvement since. There
has come to be a fairly active canvass to
secure good Beauties, but there are few
buyers who are disappointed. Tea roses
may be said to be a little better in quality
than in the last two or three weeks ; there
are some reasonably good Brides and
Maids among the large receipts of poor
stock and Liberty is in fine form with
many growers. There are also good cuts
of Kaiserin and La France.

It seems that the carnation receipts
have been at their heaviest during the
past week and stock has accumulated on
the wholesalers' hands to a most embar-
rassing extent, particularly whites. There
are so many good looking carnations that
it is diflScult to find buyers for them all
and the low grade stuff has little chance.
Clean-up sales at very low prices are re-
ported. Complaint is still made that,
however good the carnations look, they
will not travel.

There are wagon loads of peonies of
all grades and colors and the out-of-town
demand for these seems very light. The
best stock is selling at $3 and $4 per 100
and indifferent grades and quantities are
sold at very low prices indeed. The Eas-
ter lilies still obstruct the market and
there are now quantities of gladioli which
are little wanted. The receipts of valley,
continue large, but these are picked up
for the spring wedding work. Candidum
lilies are seen in most of the wholesale
houses and are slow sale. There are quan-
tities of sweet peas, but the quality is off.
This is the last of the indoor crop and the
outdoor stock will not be in for some

time.

There are large receipts in all the odds
and ends of spring stock and considerable
of this material is going to waste. The
new eastern ferns are now plentiful ano
prices down to $2 per 1000. Asparagus
has become very scarce and hard to ge? in
quantity, but there are ample supplies of
smilax for the wedding work. Orchids
are reported selling briskly at McKellar 'a.

This week shipping trade is fairly ac-

tive and furnishes about all there is doing
in the market, for the city trade is not
heavy and the buyers find no occasion for
going to a second house, as they get
everything they want at the first stop.

The Fuchs Sale*
The Fuchs place was sold at private
sale yesterday to J. S. Wilson, for many
years manager of Vaughan 's greenhouses,

Yucca Whipple! in Bloom.

Western Springs, III., and George A.
Kuhl, the well known plantsman, of
Pekin, 111. The sale includes the entire
stock, greenhouses, retail store and good
will, with a long-time lease on the real
estate. The new proprietors are not yet
ready to announce their plans, prior to
the formal transfer, which is expected to
take place today.

Various Notes.
At last week's club meeting the new
constitution and by-laws were ordered

printed and mailed to members. The
meeting June 23 will be the last for the
season and at this meeting a committee
will be appointed to arrange for a sum-
mer outing.

It has been definitely decided that the
flower show will open on the Tuesday fol-
lowing the presidential election.

W. N. Rudd has a large proportion of
his carnatiohs already benched. His Chi-
cago Market white is about the only va-
riety he is giving summer culture out-
doors. J

The E. G. Hill Co. has been' sending
gooil peonies to E. C. Amling, getting in
just before the local cut. \

J. E. Holden, at Forty-seventh street
and Prairie avenue, has sold hisjplace to
Chas. E. Morton, whose place at 3626 Cot-
tage Grove avenue will hereafter be con-
ducted by H. S. Morton. The; Holden
stand is a very good one and a large bus-
iness has been done there. ^

Bassett & Washburn report a very good
sale on grafted Brides and Bridesmaid
plants from the benches, which have been
grown one or more years. They say that
growers who have tried them find that,
they get better results earlier in the sea-.
son than from the young grafted stock.
Last Sunday's Tribune devoted two
pages to pictures and writeup of the Mc-
Cormiek decoration and stated that
fwenty car loads of shrubbery flowers and
ten car loads of cut flowers were used.
As a matter of fact the quantities were
large. The Wittbolds did the work.

John Eeardon, at Martin A. Ryerson 's,
is having very good success this year with
his grapes. He is also growing a quan-
tity of melons of the English varieties,
Frogmore Selected and Royal Sovereign.
C. N. Thomas has returned from a two
weeks' visit at his home in Pennsylvania.
Percy Jones is getting the first aura-
tum lilies of the season.

Peter Eeinberg is at Springfield this
week attending the Democratic state con-
vention. He has four of his new houses
ready for planting.

Michael Rockland, of E. H. Hunt's is
to be married June 21.

Wietor Bros, are getting a big cut of
La France roses, many of them on three-
foot stems.

Miss Nelda Wolf, of J. A. Budlon^'s,
is absent from her post because of sick-
ness.

E. E. Pieser says that he is looking for
an early change in the market, as a few
days of such weather as the last week
will dispose of the peony crop and the
carnation cut already appears to be short-
ening.

The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. has
planted two acres of its aster, Benthey's
Perfection, in white and pink, at their
place at New Castle. This is growing
for seed and a half -acre has been planted
north of Chicago for cut flowers.

The Market.

There is not much new to chronicle con-
cerning the market since our last report.
A week of dark, cloudy and cold weather
restricted the output considerably but
there was more than enough to go around
and the fakirs carry full lines of many
of the staples. Roses are deteriorating in
quality and sell at low rates. Brides and
Bridesmaids bring $2 to $6, some
less. Beauties hold up fairly well
at from $6 to $12, Many roses
are now sold at a dime a dozen on the
streets. Outdoor Jacq. roses have ap-
peared and sell, well. Carnations also
show signs of approaching dissolution
although some nice flowers still come in
and bring $2 to $3. Inferior grades sell
as low as $5 per 1,000 and some are hard
to move at that price. Peonies have been
very plentiful the past week. Single va-
rieties, while very beautiful, do not take
so well as the doubles. Prices have
ranged all the way from $3 to '$8, good
pink and white colors selling well for
wedding decorations. A large output of
peonies is to be expected this week.
Sweet peas remain plentiful and good out-
door stock is now coming in. Nymph-
seas are used freely for window decora-
tions. Funerals, weddings and steamer
orders have helped the market the past
week.

Peony Exhibition.

Owing to the abnormally cool weather,
temperatures falling as low as 36 and 38
degrees on June 10 and 11, the date for
the annual peony show June 11 was a few
days too early; nevertheless there was a
fine show of these increasingly popular
summer flowers. For eighteen double or
single varieties A. H. Fewkes and Geo.
Hollis were first and second. For singlos
T. C. Thurlow was in the lead. For the
large china vases which hold over 100
blooms each, Wm. Thatcher and W. A.
Riggs were first and second. In addition
to the exhibits in competitive classes there
were many large displays, chiefly of
prominent commercial growers, including
T. C. Thurlow, E. J. Shaylor, Geo. Hollis,
Dr. R. T. Jackson and Walter Hunne-
well.

Some of the most desirable doubles
noted from a commercial standpoint
were: Festiva maxima, still one of the

best ; Summer Day, Lady Alexander Duff,
beautiful white; Golden Harvest, pretty
yellow center petals; Jeanne d' Arc,
Helena, Duchess de Nemours, Delicourt,
grandiflora rosea, Belle Castellane, Mme.
Costa, Mme. Rousseau, Mme. Ducal, deli-
catissima, Mme. de Verneville, Harwood
and latipetela. A few of the more de-
sirable singles were: Queen of May,
Bridesmaid, Geraldine, Hesperus, Stanley
and Adana.

Special awards were made to several of
the best novelties. Numerous seedlings
were shown, including a table of 100 from
T. D. Hatfield. The ikme exhibitor had
a large table of beautiful named rhodo-
dendrons and another of hardy perennials.
W. Heustis staged 100 varieties of trees
and shrubs, cut specimens, and W. H.
Spooner a collection of Rosa rugosa. The
Fewkes, Geo. Hollis securing the bronze
Fewels, Geo. Hollis securing the bronze
medal. The class for thirty varieties of
peonies will be carried over to the annual
rose show on June 21 and 22. The un-
certain weather may cause a postpone-
ment of the annual rose and strawberry
show. A fine exhibition is anticipated.

Varioas Notes.

The prizes offered by the Boston Gar-
deners' and Florists' Club, to be com-
peted for when the Chrysanthemum au'l
Rose societies meet here, will be for a
vase of twenty-five mixed roses and
twelve blooms of any chrysanthemum not
in commerce. Prizes in each case will be
$25, $15 and $10.

Elisha S. Converse, of Maiden, who
died in that city on June 5 at an ad-
vanced age, was a very liberal patron of
horticulture as well as a philanthropist.
Exhibits from Mr. Converse's gardens
and greenhouses have for some years
been a prominent feature at the exhibi-
tions of the Massachusetts Horticulturnl
Society and we trust D. F. Roy, the able
superintendent of the Converse estate,
may in the future still grace the exhibi-
tion halls with his productions

The death of Lucius H. Foster, already
recorded in the Review, while not unex-
pected caused universal regret among the
members of the craft. We trust his sport
from the Boston fern, named Anna Fos-
ter, may for many years help to perpet-
uate the memory of a good, genial, warm
hearted man.

A. Richwagen, of Needham, has for

some years been a liberal contributor to
our flower and plant markets. His recent
death removes one more of our successful
growers. Mr. Richwagen enjoyed the
confidence of all his business associates.

There has been a remarkably fine show
of hybrid aquilegias in bloom at Larz An-
derson 's estate, in Brookline, of late. Mr.
Finlayson, the head gardener, makes them
a feature in his fine Italian garden at
this season and his display has not been
equalled in this vicinity for a number of
years.

The Boston Gardeners' and Florists'^
• Club held its second field day June 10, at
the estate of Walter Hunnewell, Welles-
ley. A good number left Boston on the
1:15 train and more would have made the
journey had the field day not come ;it
such a busy season. The many interest-
ing and attractive features on this fine
estate were eagerly and closely scanned
and many were the questions answered
by T. D. Hatfield, Mr. Hunnewell's su-
perintendent gardener. The marks of the
late severe winter were evident in the
appearance of many trees and shrubs, but
a grand show of bloom was to be seen
on azaleas, rhododrendrons and many
other plants. One feature in a shady
spot was a quantity of Primula Japonicn,
which proves quite hardy at Wellesley,"
with its pretty crimson spikes of flowers
rising from a bed of Stellaria Holostea.
The members thoroughly enjoyed their
day. The next outing will probably take
the form of carriage rides over the ex-
tensive Boston park system, which is now
very attractive.

Florists and gardeners are suffering
from a plague of cut worms, which are
causing great damage. Carnations are
being seriously injured by them. So far
we are enjoying something of an immu-
nity from tree pests, thanks to the cool,
moist weather.

While a new wholesale market will
probably be the outcome of the present
agitation for such, there seems to be a
lack of enthusiasm for the same. We
think if the managers of the present mar-
ket would meet the dissatisfied growers a
compromise might still be reached.

Not for several years has there been
so little greenhouse building as this sea-
son among commercial growers. Net re-

from this section will take in the S. A. F.
convention and World 's Fair at St.
Louis.

A party of peony specialists visited the
nursery of K. J. Shaylor, of Wellesley
Hills, on June 12 to inspect his extensive
collection of peonies. In addition to tlio
standard varieties Mr. Shaylor has forty-
three of Tjcmoine's and other French
raisers' novelties and many of Kehvay's.
A few of the best of the newer sorts
noted were: Mme. Emfle Ijemoine, Mar-
guerite Gerard, Marie Lemoine, very late ;
Sapho, Ilambeau, Galatea and Mm<'.
Vaucel. Mr. Shaylor finds an increasini;
demand from florists for the better kinds
and aims to have the best collection of
peonies and gladioli in the country.

Frosts occurred in some parts of Mass-
achusetts during the past week and tender
plants and vegetables were much injured.
Whole fields of potatoes were blackened
in the southeastern part of the state.

The Market.

We are enjoying a lively week, full
of bustle and activity, in marked con-
trast to last week's dullness. The
street says it is the close of the season.
Well, we will enjoy it while it lasts.
The supply has fallen off. Many grow-
ers realize that their stock was ex-
hausted and not worth sending in, whilo
others are replanting at this, their
usual time. The cool wave furtlicr
shortened the cut. The demand, on the
other hand, has increased, especially
among the shops patronized by the " four
hundred." The Whelan-Goelet, Fell-
Henry and other large weddings of the
week consumed much material. There
were a lot of smaller affairs and a very
decided shipping business from several
outside cities. To meet this demand
Beauties have been foremost. They are
still of fair quality, and the price has
stiffened wonderfully. The outdoor
sweet peas led by Miss Blanche Ferry
have come in force just in time. They
are of superb quality, bright and frag-
rant, commanding ready sale. The down-
trodden smilax grower is having his in-
ning at last, cutting strings to his
heart's content at prices scarce dreamed
of since the advent of his wild brother.
Valley sells well. Good carnations arc
fair stock but tea roses seem to be on
the back track. Gladioli are here in
quantity.

Peonies have reached a healthier
state. The awful glut of last week has
given way to a moderate supply, about
equal to the demand. Tlie beginning of
next week will finish the local supply.

The Florists* Qub.

Stern duty forbade a report of the
meeting at Horticultural Hall last
week. As it is better late than never,
it was peony night and a great show
was given. Frank Gould, gardener to
.Tohn T. IMorris, of Chestnut Hill, wns
the principal exhibitor, with a magnifi-
cent collection comprising many of the
best sorts. Great interest was taken
in the coming St. Louis convention.
Committees were appointed on transpor-
tation and hotels.

BaseBaU.

The great game of last Saturday, an-
nounced in the Kevieav one week ago,
was successful in every way. There was
fine weather, keen rivalry and a good at-

tendance, proving that florists have
plenty of sporting blood. The Flower
Market won by a score of 16 to 8,
despite the presence of the genial Rob-
ert Craig, who cheered his nine. After
the game the two teams enjoyed a ro-
fection at Ellinger's, nearby. Follow-
ing are the teams:

Germantown Horticultural Society.

The June meeting of the society was
held last Monday evening. President
Neville in the chair. Secretary Redlos
read an interesting paper on the peor^-
prepared by S. MendelsFon ^feehan.
Frank Gould also spoke on the same
subject. There was an interesting ex-
hibition and good attendance.

Vaf<ous Notes.

Edward Reid is receiving Shakespeare
gladioli in a variety of colors.

This week, .Tune 15 to 18, marks At-
lantic City's fiftieth anniversary. Many
of the hotels are decorating for the oc-
casion, drawing upon this city for qua"n-
tities of roses, carnations and smilax.
Eugene Bernheimer shipped some nice
orders for this event.

The Wm. Graham Co. had the dec-
orations for the Whelan-Goelet weddincr
on Tuesday. Beauties and smilax were
largely used.

H. H. Battles decorated a lar^e wed-
ding recently with clusters of lilies of
the valley woven in the bridal canopy
and long-stemmed Beauties in the dining
room,

M. Rice sneaks in cheerful vein of
his recent trip to Europe. Two humor-
ous pen sketches adorn his office Jis
souvenirs. One of a belated passenger
rushing up the gang idank of a depart-
ing steamer just as it is drawn in, the
otlier of the same passenger perched in
the bowsprit of the returning steamer
enjoving the funny things his friends
on the wharf are sayinp.

H. B!«versdorf(»r & Co. are extendiuT
their office to give needed room for their
clerical force.

C. F. Edaar & Co. are preparing to
put a new flower holder on the market.
The idea is a cornucopia-shaped paper
with a wire catch nt the top to be fas-
tened after the bunch of flowers has
been slipped inside. It will come in
several sizes. Charles Krueger. at the
Reading terminal, has it on trial.

Wm. .T. Baker has experienced good
demand for smilax and his "steady"
carnations.

Samuel S. Pennock has h^d some larce
shipping orders for Beauties this week.

The Market.

The past week the market was still ac-
tive. Not alone were the boys busy with
World's Fair decorations, but there were
a great many June weddings, both large
and small. School work also took up a
great deal of our time, but not so much
as in former years, when night work was
necessary to get the orders out in time.
There is a big supply of cut flowers at
the wholesale houses and the bulk of
them of good quality. In roses Brides
are fine. Bridesmaids somewhat oflf color,
Liberty fine in color but short in stem.
Some good Golden Gates are also to be
had. They sell as high as $6 to $8 for
fancy and $4 to $5 for firsts. American

Club Meeting.

The club's .Tune meeting last Thurs-
day was largely attended, with all the
officers present except Vice-president Wil-
liam Winter. George M. Kellogg, of
Pleasant Hill, and Paul Roper, of the
Botanic Garden, were elected to member-
ship. The president appointed W, J.
Pilcher to act as sergeant-at-arms for the
coming S. A. F. convention. It was de-
cided that our annual picnic should not
take place until after the convention this
year. The discussions lead by Brothers Am-
mann and Sehray, on "Replanting Rose
^tock" ajid ''Growing Hydrangeas,"
were very interesting. Those who took
P^f*.i." t*»e discussion were Messrs. Gie-
ti • ?,"^'"0''®' Pelter and Dunford. After
this :\rr. Ammann made some well directed
remarks to the members to attend the
meetings promptly, also their committee
meetings, to work hard and make this the
hanner meeting of the S. A. F. O. H. In
the question box a number of important
queries were found wliich came up for
debate. This has become one of the fea-

tures of our meetings of late. A special
meeting of the club will be held Thurs-
day, June 23, at 2 o 'clock. Otto Koenig,
who is chairman of the finance and en-
tertainment committee, invited the mem-
bers to hold this meeting at his place.
7471 Florissant avenue, at which every
member of the club is invited to be pres-
ent and take part in the proceedings. The
next regular meeting of the club will be
held July 14 at our regular meeting hall
in Odd Fellows' building. At this meet-
ing James W. Dunford will lead a very
important discussion, the subject being
left for him to select. We all know Mr.
Dunford 's ability and know it will be
interesting. The meeting then closed,
after which the different S. A. F. conven-
tion committees held short meetings,
making arrangements as to the work be-
fore them. They now meet each week and
report fine progress.

Various Notes.

A. S. Halstedt, E. W. Guy and Henry
Emmons, of Belleville, 111., were visitors
the j)ast week, taking in the World's
Fair. All of these gentlemen report their
spring plant trade as never better. Cut
flower work, too, has been good in every
department.

Mr. and Mrs. Trelease have returncl
from a very nleasant trip to Madison,
Wis., where they spent a week visiting
friends.

There are 1,500 rose bushes in all va-
rieties in full bloom in the rose gardens
rear the Agriculture building at the
fair. A fine lot of mountain laurel from
Pennsylvania is now in full bloom. There
is also a fine lot of rhododendrons from
Eaglesmere lake, Pennsvlvania. Miss

.Jennie Cassidy, the originator of the
Flower Mission day in St. Ijouis, dis-
tributed 5,000 carnations and rosea last
week at the World's Fair from the head-
quarters of the W, C. T. U,

The city park employes held a big
jubilee last Saturday night in one of the
new greenhouses in Forest park. There
was plenty to eat, drink and smoke.
IXiring the evening the boys presented
Supt, Meyer with a gold shield emblem-
atic of the office he holds.

The waterworks convention durinp^ the
past week ended with a banquet at the
New Jefferson hotel, at which the tlor;il
decorations were elaborate, consisting of
carnations and American Beauties. These
were furnished by J. J, Beneke,

The attendance at the World's Fair is
increasing right along. Those who have

business.

C. W. GuRNEY, of Yankton, S. D., has
been in the nursery business in the north-
west for thirty-two years.

Oregon is coming to the front in fruit
growing. Nurserymen are doing large

wholesale business only.

•A^s ornamental planting develops in
the middle and western states, the call
for flowering shrubs increases. And it
will increase for years to come.

It begins to look as though the craze
for planting peaches might be on the
wane. If the anticipated yield develops
this season will see prices very low.

The Peterson Nursery, Chicago, which
recently refitted its offices at 170 La Salle

The American Park and Outdoor \rt
Association, which, at its organization
was considered as aiming to represent
the higher branches of horticulture, has
80 far departed from the original plan
that at the convention held at St. Louis
last week it was merged with the Ameri-
can League for Civic Improvement un-
der the new name of the American Civio
Association. J. Horace McFarland, of
Harrisburg, Pa., was elected president
and C. M. Robinson, of Rochester, se.'-
retary.

NEW PEONIES,

On the second day of the rhododen-
dron show at Boston, June 5, Dr. R. T.
Jackson showed four of his early bloom-
ing Richardson seedling peonies. These
were as follows:

G. B. Sowerby, seedling of John Rich-
ardson; early, double, center petals
creamy white, guard petals pink, very like
officinalis alba and perhaps too close to
that variety to merit special attention.

W. H. Dall, posthumous seedling of
John Richardson; single, pure white,
broad petals almost round, stigmas red;
a good flower.

Emily Andrews Jackson, posthumous
seedUng of John Richardson ; single, dark
rose, flowers of good size and substance.

Esther Jackson, posthumous seedling of
John Richardson; single, pure white, nar-
row petals; rather inferior.

There are many splendid sorts among
the Richardson seedlings. Dr. Jackson,

CINONNATL

The Market.

While trade is not so lively that it is
keeping any of us working overtime, still
everyone seems to have pretty good busi-
ness and it has a steadiness that looks
good. The demand for stock of all kinds
is good and, though prices are not es-
pecially high, the amount of stock that
is being handled makes up for that a
great deal. Weddings and commence-
ments are the cause of what trade there
is and prospects point toward a very
good June business.

Eoses have dropped to summer condi-
tions with great rapidity this year, and
those to be had at present look more like
July roses than one usually sees in June.
Beauties from the north are still pretty
good, but Brides and Maids are pretty
poor and many of them are suffering
from mildew.

Carnations are coming in large numbers
and many of them are fine. Others
though show the effects of the hot weath-
er and are almost unsalable when they
arrive at the wholesale houses. W. J.
Eodgers is cutting some very fine car-
nations for any time of the year. And
those being received from the B. K. & B.
Floral Co., of Richmond, Ind., are as
fine as in mid-winter.

Daisies, stocks, sweet alyssum, corn-
flower and feverfew are all in good de-
mand and there is enough to fill all or-
ders. Sweet peas are selling very well
but at a very low price. Lilies are also
very good property. Peonies have been
very good this year but those in this part
of the country were unfortunate in not
blooming for Decoration day. Never-
theless, they sold very well. The crop
is just about over now, but cold storage
ones are to be had and there is a good
demand for them at 50 cents per dozen.
"Green goods" are in fairly good sup-
ply and selling well.

Club Meeting.

Saturday evening the regular meeting
of the Florists ' Society was held. There
was not a very large gathering of thp
members but those present were enthusi-
astic. Nominations for board of direct-
ors were in order and the following ten
gentlemen were named from which num-
ber five will be elected at the next met-
ing: Geo. Murphy, Chas. Murphy, R.Wit-
terstaetter, Wm. Schumann, Ben. George,
Jas. Allan, W. Rodgers. D. Rusconi, Aug.

Seed for replanting squash, cucumber
and pumpkin is being called for. The
cut worm is working in several of the
seed growing sections. Musk melon
seems to be freer from the trouble than
the other vine crops.

At Chicago a brisk demand for stockv
tomato plants was a feature of the
week. Market garden trade for Juno
so far has been lemarkably large. Home;
grown produce is cutting something of
a figure now and the market gardener
can afford to purchase needed supplies.

A NEW GARDEN BEAN.

Van Namen Bros., the well-known
Holland seedsmen, will shortly distribute
in this country, through C. H. Joosten,
a new white-flowering garden bean of
which they say in a Dutch circular:
* ' They are very suitable for preserving
and retain their natural white color

after being cooked, also in tins, which
cannot be said of any other garden
bean variety and it cannot be too highly
recommended to canners. When iu
bloom it is distinct from any other bean ;
they do not show any black spots and
the plant bears pure white flowers."

SEED TRADE CONVENTION.

The American Seed Trade Association
will come to order at the Forest Park
University Hotel, St. Louis, at 10 a. m.
next Tuesday, June 21, for its twenty-
second annual convention. The program
is one of the most interesting ever pre-
pared for the association and the proxim-
ity of the World's Fair, with much of
interest to the trade, will aid in mak-
ing thi» the most successful of the tis-.
sociation's regularly successful gather-
ings.

SEASON AT BOSTON.

R. & J. Farquhar & Co. report that the
seed season now closing opened later than
last year, much of the usual March bus-
iness having been put off to April. The
pressure in April was very great and the
season was prolonged to almost the end
of May. Fewer extra early peas than
usual were sold, owing to the lateness of
the season and lack of opportunity to
])lant them. When the season opened
Gradus and other wrinkled peas were
planted. Sweet corn, cucumbers and wax
beans have been scarce, owing to unfavor-
able harvesting weather. Other vegetable
seeds have sold well and surpluses are
^all. The trade in flower seedb, bulbs,
and plants has been quite up to the av-
erage, but shrubs and trees havd^ sold
less freely than last year, the planting
season for the latter being practically
crowded into two weeks. Although short
the reason has been a busy one and the
volume of business quite up to the aver-
age.

HIGH PRICES NO BAR.

The one lesson to be learned from this
season's business is that high prices do
not reduce trade. While, of course,
from the difference in the. weather, we
did not have quite as large a trade dur.
ing the month of March as last year, yet
our total business up to the last day of
March was a little ahead of a year ago
while the gains in April and May have
been phenomenal, making in all the
largest year's trade that we have ever
handled. "w^, Atlee Burpee. .

BULB PRICES.

The French syndicate of hulb growers
is endeavoring to profit by laSlf year 's ex-
perience and has issued a price list on
French Romans which is an advance of
about $1 per 1,000 on the last year's
market. Latest cable advices are to the
effect that French Romans are quoted is
follows: 11-12 c^timeters, 65 francs; 11-
15, 75 francs; 12-15, 821,4 to 85 francs;
13-15, 95 to 100 francs. These prices are
f. 0. b. Ollioules. One of the largest
growers reports that his crop will be
about two-thirds that of last year and
thinks this is a fair average for the dis-
trict.

Prices on Paper Whites are quoted at
18 francs for the 12 centimeters and up.
On 13 centimeters and up the quotation
is 25 francs.

Recent advices from Japan are to the
effect that Lilium longiflorum multi-
fljorum in the large sizes will be veiv !
scarce, not more -than ten per cent ;is
many 9-108 being harvested as 7-98. Of
giganteiuns twenty per cent as many 9-
10s as 7-9s are expected.

The harvesting in Bermuda will be un-
derway in a few days. A scarcity of
large sizes of Harrisii is predicted there.

In speaking of the wonderful things
he saw in the establishment of a florist
who gave him a bunch of flowers, an
Illinois editor said: "Fifteen hundred
cafe .jessamine bloom were received from
the South Texas coast for Decoration
day. When, all unpacked these filled
thirty large vessels and the odor per-
meated the entire house. These flowers
are grown in shallow water on the sea
coast and are becoming more and more
popular each year for Decoration day
flowers. The petals are waxy, white and
the foliage a very dark, brilliant green. ' '

INDIANAPOLIS.

Decoration day was very busy with all
the florists here and most of them say
it was the heaviest in the history of the
trade. Much trade came to the florists
on account of the shortage in outdoor
flowers. There were very few peonies
and most of those were the small early
red. Field daisies were not in by at
least ten days. Decoration day com-
ing on Monday, many people took flow-
ers to the cemeteries on Sunday, thus
giving the florists three days to supply
the demand. Fortunately there were
large quantities of_caniatiohB and sweet
peas, and what bouquets were not made
of carnations and sweet peas and'^fever-
few were made of feverfew, sweet peas
and carnations.

The spring bedding season was also
one of the best on record. Prices were
higher and everybody sold out early.
Late orders had a hard time finding good
stock.

This second week in June the town is
flooded with peonies and they can be
bought for a. song or less. Carnations
are shortening up considerably, while
roses are coming small and mildewed.

At the meeting of the State Florists'
Association John Hartje read a very in-
tereting paper on hybrid roses. One
new member was elected, Leo Eicken-
bach. A committee was appointed to ar-
range for a picnic neyt month, date to
be announced later. A. B.

MADISON, N. J.

A press telegram reports that the lead-
i,ng industry of this place, rose growing,,
is threatened with destruction by the ad-
vent of an insect which, it is said, ruins
the buds. The blfg" was first noticed
about three weeks ago. It attacks the
petals of the roses, which soon shrivel
and become unfit for market. So far,
no means have been found to exterminate
the pest, though many experiments are
being tried. L. M. Noe, the largest grow-
er in the neighborhood, has discovered
that the daisies and clover blossoms in
the field adjoining his rosehouses are
alive with the insects, and he believes
that they reach the houses through the
ventilators. The insects are small, and
when disturbed jump like a flea. There
are sixty-three growers in Madison em-
ploying more than 400 men.

Ni.iOARA Falls, N. Y. — Peter Loretto,

The Weekly Florists' Review

June 16, 1904.

PACIFIC COAST.

Pasadena, Cil^W. J. Hesser, for-
merly of Platsipth, Neb., is now iu
charge of a private establishment here.

Theee thousand dollars has been ap-
propriated to the University of Califor-
nia, Department of Agriculture, by the
Southern California Walnut Growers'
Association. This sum is to be expended
in studying the walnut blight, a disease
which threatens serious damage to the
walnut industry of California. The work
will be under the direction of Plant
Pathologist Ifalph E. Smith, who has had
charge of the asparagus rust investiga-
tions by the University of California.
The work to be done by Prof. Smith will
mean considerable addition to the pro-
vision for laboratory work at Berkeley.
It IS possible also that a temporary depot
will be established in southern California
for the study of the disease in its im-
mediate vicinity.

ANNUALS.

Annuals had a very fair sale this
spring. Pansies are the best sellinc.
spring plants we handle. They retail
here at 50 cents per dozen an^l
the season for planting them be-
gins early in March and extends
through April and the first part of Mav.
Ihe Bugnot and Gassier strains are
grown m -California in large quantities
and are the best sellers. Several years
ago we grew great quantities of the
Irimardeau sorts but the public has been
educated up to asking for the rich bron/u
and golden shades and, although the flow-
®",^^.^^ °o* quite as large or the. plants
a^ thrifty growers, they sell much better
We plant the seeds about the end of July
and transplant into the open field in Octo
ber. In this way there is no diflSculty to
get plenty of big showy flowers as soon
as the frosty weather is pone. Pansies
thrive best in heavy soil well worked un
with rotted manure and thorouehlv
drained If they do not receive a check
m handling they are one of the easiest
as well as one of the most profitable ar-
ticles that can be grown.

Asters sold well this spring and we arc
confining ourselves almost entirely to
Bemple's branching varieties. Thev suc-
ked well here and have entirely 'taken
the place of the older sorts. In some lo-
calities last season the aster borer di<l
consHerable damage but it has not mado
Its appearance in this neighborhood this
season as far as I am aware. The smaller
dealers grew large quantities for the re-
tail trade. We handle them entirely in
flats transplanted about 100 to a box.
_ golden coreopsis is another article th^t
18 in good demand and sells at about .50
cents per dozen plants. Stocks are grown
m the same way and have a steady de-
mand. Bachelor 's buttons, marigolds and
cosmos are handled in enormous quanti-
ties around our larger cities and sell at
about the same price as the others I have
mentioned. '

In bedding plants I do not think the
demand was as prood as we have had in
former seasons. There aro roallv onlv n
few large private places in this locality
that use such material in large quantities
and outside of the public parks it is sel-
dom seen. The taste of California n«
does not seem to be in the line of carp<-t
bedding and although at one time we had

a good demand for achyranthes, feverfew,
lobelias, salvias, coleus and other stock of
that nature, we have outgrown that idea
and roses and palms take their places.
Californians are too fond of planting
trees and shrubs that will thrive a life-
time to go to the trouble of planting
soft-wooded stuflP every spring. Flowers
grow so easily here that we consider many
things too common to give garden room
to and scarlet geraniums, callas and mar-
guerites have many years since been rele-
gated to the back yard, along with the
chickens and the dog house. G.

SAN FRANC3SCO.

The Market.

We have had a fair supply of June
weddings, and, although there is nothing
to brag of in a business way, there is
much less in the line of flowers. I have
not seen a dozen good Beauties for the
past two weeks and the less said of
other varieties of roses the better. Carna-
tions are short in stem and poor in flower.
We have had considerable hbt weather
and its effect has been shown in the
quality of flowers. Sweet peas are plenti-
ful and good and are about the best sell-
ing item the retailers have at present.
Other outdoor flowers are plentiful and
help very much to make window displays.
June trade is ahead of last season at the
same period according to what the ma-
jority of the retailers say. This is en-
couraging as June is usually one of our
ttiost quiet months. Valley is plentiful
and Harrisii and longiflorums are being
offered in fair quantities.

Notes.

The demurrer to the complaint in the
suit brought by Frank Shibeley against
the Board of Public Works of San Fran-
cisco to prevent the issuance lot flower
permits to street venders was/ admitted
to be good by the attorneys in Judge
Sloss' court this week and they were al-
lowed three additional da/s to file an
additional complaint. The argument on
the question of whether an injunction
should be issued was set for next Friday.
The application for an injunction is op-
posed by the attorneys for the Mer-
chants' Association, this body desiring
that the flower market ordinance be put
in force and the venders allowed to soil
flowers at the places designated in the
ordinance. G.

FROM OUR ENGLISH EXCHANGES.

The Gardeners' Magazine*

Shobtia oalacifolia is fully justify-
ing the high estimate that was formed
of it when first introduced to cultiva-
tion a few years since. G. Reuthe, Kes-
ton, who contributed a score or so of
splendidly-flowered plants to the Drill
Hall meeting, states that it is of the eas-
iest culture, both in pots and on the
rockery, and regards it as one of the
most valuable of the rock plants that
have been introduced to the garden in
rtcent times.

Whether the varieties of chrysan-
themums introduced in the near futuro
will be an improvement upon the present
standard rests entirely in the hands of
those who are charged with the adjudica-
tion of new varieties. Were greater strin-
gency imposed, even, than now is the
case, in granting certificates, an im-
proved type of flower would be the re-

suit. Raisers of new varieties, who are
seldom the cultivators, need have no
uneasiness about the disposal of sterling
varieties, because an exhibitor knows
quite well in these days of keen com-
petition the value of a flower that is
really an advance upon older varieties of
a similar type.

The importation of cut flowers into
the British Isles continues to show a de-
crease, probably due more to the large
quantities which British growers are
putting on the market than to any de-
crease in the practice of using flowers
for decorations, etc. The value of flow-
ers imported during March were as fol-
lows: In 1904, £47,260; in 1903, £56.-
5S0; in 1902, £62,454.

Various Notes.

While we hear reports of intense heat
from many cities east and west, we
locals have been enjoying the most per-
fect weather, just warm enough so that
the open cars are a delight and sleep-
ing alone is preferred to two in a bed.
The soft breeze that quietly skims over
the 300 miles of Lake Erie and cool.s
and tempers our city nowadays makes
us forget the zero zephyrs of last
March and there are now days and days
that convince you that after all, prince,
pauper, florist or preacher, it is really
good to exist.

Plantsmon all report a good season
and still busy. The season of plant-
ing began late and many big jobs will
be filled at the middle of June. This
must seem strange to those who keep
house in localities that fear no frost
after May 1. I don't know of any nov-
elty in the flower gardening line except
that there is rather a better taste shown
in garden dcvjoration. Hardy perennials,
grasses, flowering shrubs and tropical
plants have been more the feature. H.
Keitsch & Son have been displaying a
grand lot of peonies of late. They are
blest with the richest of soil and Charlie
attends to things.

We were to have had a meeting of the
committee appointed to draw up :i
premium list for the H. A. Meldrum
show, but a majority was not present.
Yet I am privileged to say that the H.
A. Meldrum Co. will give the usual
$1,000 and the Sweeney Co. want us to
arrange a spring show with a $5,000 at-
tachment. Charlie Keitsch can manage
iboth these affairs and lots more.

"Am very much pleased with the re-

I GO to the Review, for I have learned
by experience that it is the place to go

sympathy, comfort and consolation; it
finds buyers and sellers and brings them
together; it keeps us posted in all lines
belonging to the craft, and so I lik% it.

OMAHA.

The following extract is from the Bee,
of June 5:

A. Donaghue, Sr., the pioneer florist of
Omaha, now located at No. 5425 North
Twenty-foui:th street, engaged in the gai--
dening busin^fe in Omaha in 1866. Thia
he continue^up to 1870, when he estab-
lished his floral business and greenhouses
at the corner of Sixteenth and Douglas
streets, where the Boston store now
stands. ''I sold this property in 1890,"
he said, "and removed to my present
location. There were one or two other
florists here when I first went in the
business, but they have long since been
gathered to their fathers. My business
has kept pace with the city 's growth, and
I still adhere as I did thirty-four years
and more ago. to the belief that Omaha
IS to be one of the greatest cities of th6
west. ' '

SwARTHMORE, Pa.— John Wild, for-
merly at the Swarthmore Greenhouses,
IS now located at Grand Haven, Mich.

Maxhetm, Pa. — Hostetter Bros, lost
16,000 panes of glass in the big hail
storm which passed over this place June 3.

Please discontinue my smilax adv.;
plants all sold and orders' still rolling in,
some even from Canada. Talk about Eec-
ord "want" advs., they are not in It
with the Review.— J. E. Yeats, Cham-
paign, 111.

Wellpleet, Mass.— C. P. Marsh start-
ed in the plant business two years ago,
with some sashes and, a hotbed. He has
found the trade profitable right alon>,'
and steadily increasing, so last wintet
he built a greenhouse.

ThcWeckly Florists' Review,

June 10, 1D04.

WASHINGTON.

The Market.

TherQ has been an improvement in bus-
iness during the week, j-toek of all kinds
having cleared out better than has been
the case for some time. Quite a number
of June weddings and commencements
have takert place and this work has been
evenly distributed over the city. Geo.
Shaffer had one wedding in North Caro-
lina. Tliese affairs have used up quite
large quantities of flowers. Good stuff
at times seems to be a little scarce. Good
roses have been in demand. There is
plenty of second class stock around which
can be worked in fairly well. Prices have
been somewhat firmer but remain rather
low. Sweet peas have been in large de-
mand, white and pinks beini;; mostly called
for, the highest price about 50 c^nts per
hundred. Valley has also sold very well
at from $2 to .$.S ]>er hundred. Peonies-,
are now very abundant and it is hard
work to average 50 cents per dozen for
them. They are handled on the streets
by the fakirs. Giiod carnations find ready
sale at fair prices.

Various Notes.

President and Mrs. Eoosevelt enter-
tained at an elaborate luncheon Friday
afternoon for the members of the Filipino
commission. The rooms of the 1ow(m-
part of the White House were decorated
handsomely with plants and cut flowers,
the work, imder the direction of Geo. H.
Brown, being done by the employes of
the United States Propagating Gardens--.

Planting in the public parks is pro-
gressing as rapidly as the weather will
permit and but few of the beds remain
yet to be planted. More cannas are be-
ing put out than before, quite a number
of new varieties having been added to the
list this year.

The Florists' Club held its regular
meeting lasT^ Friday evening, President
Gude presiding, and a large number of
the craft were present. Considerable in-
terest WHS manifested in the possibility
of Washington securing the home anil
headquarters of the Society of American
Florists. The florists of Washington,
headed by Wm. F. Gude, are making an
effort to enlist the interest of the business
men of the city, Miiich will include con-
ferences with the Business Men's Asso-
ciation and the Washington Board of
Trade.

Captain Ernest had the l>owlers out
again Wednesday night and some goo'l
scores were made, McLennan rolling 210.

FROM OUR ENGLISH EXCHANGES.

The Gardeners' Magazine.

Throughout North Holland co-opera-
tive associations of market gardeners are
conducted on practical lines^. The prod-
ucts of the members, before being of-
fered for sale, are inspected by offi-
cers of the respective associations, and
any that are below the standard are re-
jected, the others having the registered
tiade-mark affixed. This trade-mark is
regarded by buyers as evidence that the
produce is of good quality, and has been
properly packed. The products thus
passed are offered for sale at the soci-
ety's mart, the president of the local
branch usually acting as auctioneer. Com-
mission agents and dealers from the vari-
ous cities attend the sales and the goods
sold are paid for in cash. At the end
of the week each member is paid the
Slim his products have realized, less the
{•cmmisaion, which is small. This sya-
ttm has given a great impetus to mar-
ket gardening in Holland, and as evi-
dence of this it may be mentioned that
during the summer months a "cabbage
train" starts daily from Enkhuizen, on
the shores of the Zuider Zee, and picks
up at the principal stations some thirty
or forty trucks loaded with cabbages
and cauliflowers. Arriving at Amster-
dam and Kotterdam, the trucks are most-
ly despatched to Germany, whence also
wagon-loads of cucumbei-s are sent at
frequent intervals during the season.
Large quantities of vegetables are also
sent to the British markets.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

June JO, 1004.

KANSAS QTY.

Florists in Kansas City have had a
good spring business. Greenhouse men
have had the best planting and -bedding
trade they ever enjoyed, even if we
have had lots of rain, which has kepi
them back somewha^r-— fi«t they are
about caught up and everyone is happy.
They are all very nearly sold out of
bedding stock.

A. F. Barbe is building six more
greenhouses, adding 10,000 feet of glass
" to his place, which will give him the
largest plant in town. He will devote
it all to cut flowers. He is also put-
ting up a first-class two-story office and
show room which is to be the best in
town.

The cut flower market is very unsatis-
factory. At present the weather is
against getting good stock two days in
succession. Boses all come in open, es-
pecially American Beauties. Carnations
are small.

There is talk that there will not be a
flower show this fall in Convention Hall,
if there is any at all.

All the downtown florists are talking
about vacation, some to go to the woods
and others talk about convention and the
World 's Fair. L. M. S.

Indianapolis, Ind.— H. H. Tall has
been appointed florist at Garfield park,
vice Henry Stanley.

West Point, Neb. — On June 7 J. F.
Roseufield's peonies were just beginning
to bloom, fully two weeks later than usu-
al. He has some very choice new sorts
and had intended to send some blooms
to the Peony Society's show in New York,
but the show developed before the blooms
did.

Clinton, Mo. — A. Woerner says this
has been a very successful season for him
even if the weather has been very bad.
He will build a house 20x(55 this season,
of the best material and top and side ven-
tilation. Mr. Woerner says he has been
in the trade forty years and expects to
stay in it another forty.

We are in receipt of the Proceedings
of the Thirteenth Annual Meeting of the
American Carnation Society held in De-
troit, March 2 and 3. Besides the part
covered by the Review 's report March 3,
the volume contains proceedings of direct-
ors' meetings, a list of the varieties reg-
istered for the year and thel roster of
the members, who number 340.

THE L G. HILL CO., RICHMOND,

When our representative visited Ber-
muda durinf; Bulb harvesting season
last summer we secured options on
the choicest planting stock of TRUE
Harrisa and therefore have the best

HARRISII LILIES THE ISLAND DOES^BBQDIJCE

to offer this season. The premium we paid for SELECT
TRUE Harrisii Btilblets is well spent. The reputation that
"Barnard's LUies Are The Best" will be maintained
again this season. Careful selecting and packing of thoroughly
ripened bulbs, and prompt shipping is assured through the
presence of our agent in Bermuda during the harvesting time.
Write NOW. The true type of Harrisii is never too plentiful^

, Spread Out the Palms. j^_^

There will be less stock in our houses
for the next two mouths than at any
time of the year, except it be with the
palm specialists, who are now pushing
along their young stock that will be sent
out in the fall. If you grow a few
young palms don 't over-force them. It is
true that our leading commercial palms,
the kentia, areca, latania and phoenix, will
endure a great amount of heat and hu-
midity, and some large growers give it
to them, but others do not. It is those
who give all the ventilation they can,
with the least shade that is permissible,
and plenty of room for the plants to de-
velop their growth, who send out the
fine stock, well formed, desirable palms.
I once entered a house of arecas in June ;
the sun was shining and it was about 70
degrees outside in the shade, and yet thero
was steam on in that house. The temper-
ature must have been about 117. Of
course the Areca lutescens were growing
fast, but when sold to the man who
could, in the fall, only give it 60 degrees
at night they would soon assume that
beautiful (f) pale yellow color. Give
your young palms plenty of room now
that you can afford it.

SomelPlants Can Go Outside.

Decorations of all kinds are about over
and large plants of kentia, latania and
phoenix are just as well out of doors for
the next three months. It is of the
greatest benefit to sink the pots or tubs
in the ground, or surround them with
some light material, for then there is
less danger of their suffering from neg-
lect of watering.

Areca lutescens is the most decora-
tive of all palms and yet is not as valu-
able to us as the kentias because it is
not as good a house plant, nor will it
stand the ' ' rough and tumble ' ' usage we
give our plants that are carted around
the city to participate in many varied
functions. This beautiful palm is best
kept under glass, for, with the greatest
care, it soon loses its color in the sun.

Araucaria excelsa should be given
plenty of bench room in a well ventilated
house, beneath shaded glass, and they
greatly «^njoy a spraying with the hose on
every bright, warm day.

Plan to Keep Smilax Warm.

As soon as all your chrysanthemums
are planted you will be attending to yoar
smilax and asparagus beds. Anyone can
grow smilax, but not all profitably. On
the ground is the place for it and thero
is no need of a dry bottom or drainage
of any kind. Six inches of soil is enougii,
because it is to be there only one year.
As good a smilax bed as the writer ever
saw was in a house where the lower roots
must have been constantly wet, in fact
almost in water. Don't plant smilax in
a house where the temperature cannot
be kept steadily at 60 and if 65 degrees
80 much the better. It likes heat, and
needs it to be profitable, and is none the
more tender or soft because it is grown
in a strong heat.

Deep Soil for Plumosus.

There never seems an oversupply of As-
paragus plumosus or Sprengeri. Particu-
larly is plumosus wanted in the shape of
sprays and for that purpose it can be
planted on a bench in six inches of the
richest soil, but it will not do as well
as it would in a solid bed. For the pro-
duction of long strings of plumosus
never plant it anywhere but in a solid
bed with no tiles, stones or drainage of
any kind, as it would be a detriment.
Put your rich, heavy loam, with a third
of animal manure, on the surface of the
soil, and if that was dug and manuref?
a foot deep, so much the better. You
don't plant Asparagus plumosus every
year. It will be profitable if left undis-
turbed for three or four years. I will
quote the words of W. H. Elliott, the
asparagus king, who gave the writer the
best of advice when he said, "Nev-
er divorce plumosus from mother
earth," and we found what he said was
true, for in nine inches of rich soil, but
with a plank separating the bed from
mother earth, the ends of the growths
became bleached-looking after the bed
had been planted a few months.

Asparastifi Sprengeri.

Adiantum cuneatum and similar specie's
are doubtless very beautiful and indi^-

feeders on a bench in five or six inches
of soil. It will produce a few fronds rit
first and the aftermath will be a slow,
stunted, starved growth.

Mr. G-owe's Method.

I have several times quoted the method
used by Peter Crowe, of Utica, N. Y., in
growing this useful plant. He used Bel-
gian glass boxes that had held 100 feet
of 16x24 glass. They are eight or nine
inches broad and when stood on edge
and filled with the richest of soil the
roots would have to go down sixteen
inches before they were exhausted. In
addition to great depth of soil they were
most liberally treated to liquid manure.
I have never seen such luxurious and
continuous growth, or better color. The
boxes were standing on the ground be-
neath the gutters in a large rose range
that had no partitions. You may not
have such a place, nor is it necessary to
import Belgian glass to obtain these
boxes, but the above will illustrate what
this useful plant needs to make it profit-
able. It is a hog for feed and if you
stint its food, either solid or liquid, it
will be a lean, stunted thing.

Poinsettias.

This is an excellent time to keep on
putting in cuttings of poinsettia and you
can do so till the end of August. They
root quickly and surely in the hot months,
providing you keep them soaked and
shaded. When you pot them keep them
well shaded and frequently sprayed till
they get hold of the soil. After that they
want the broadest and purest sunshine
that warms this little sphere. A new
theory is that it is not the sun that
warms our earth, but radium; don't be-
lieve it!

Tree Peony Queen Elizabeth.

pensable. Yet we think that in a spray
of roses or carnations, so much asked for
nowadays, Asparagus plumosus is far
prettier and has a grace of form an(t^
color that the adiantum lacks. A.
Sprengeri is not so high class, yet it is
always in demand and we find constant
use for more than we produce. It is
useless to put this most voracious of

Adiantum Croweanum.

Very shortly that most excellent of
|adiantums, Croweanum, will ba'sent out.
The writer has seen it growiflg at Mr.
Crowe's place at Utica many times
within the past seven or eight years and
there it is truly wonderful. There is a gen-
tleman in Washington, D. C, who thinks

he has the same thing and had it fir^t.
He is mistaken, as we have a few plants
of Croweanum and his fern side by side
and they are entirely distinct. Unlike
A. ftuneatum and A. concinniim, whose
spores germinate so freely, this fern has
no fertile spores and propagation must
be entirely by division. Now I wish to
say that the little that follows about the
culture of this splendid fern is not tt
the request or even permission of Mr.
Crowe or Mr. Kasting, who is sending it
out, yet I can scarcely think that either
of these young men will object to any
hint that will help toward your success
in growing it.

How Mr. Oowe Does It.

If you have grown A. cuneatum really
well, then you will grow Croweanum, and
it is im^iensely superior in all desirable
qualities. If you have made a poor at-
tempt at growing cuneatum you will also
fail with Croweanum and many a florist
will buy it, starve it and then declaim
that he "don't see nothin' in it." Here
is what can be observed at Mr. Crowe's.
The fern is grown on raised wooden
benches in five or six inches of soil. In
some of the houses there are two 1-inch
steam pipes beneath the benches, but
near the ground, and in some houses no
pipes beneath the benches. Mr. Crowe
thinks it is of no consequence whether

the pipes are there or not, but by no
means would he have many pipes, or
any of them near the boards. The soil
is just what he uses for his rose beds, a
rotten sod from a rather heavy, yellow
loam, with a fourth of animal manure.
The night temperature is kept at about
60 degrees. The plants and the surface
of the beds are dusted with air-slaked
lime. So heavily is this put on that the
crowns of the plants are white with it.
This was first applied to keep the slugs
away but now it is thought to be a fer-
tilizer of considerable value.

All of the above is very simple and
easy to copy, but now comes the all-im-
portant item, the one that has made
Croweanum famous and produced those
wonderful fronds. The benches are nevsr
watered with pure cold water, never;
when they need water they get a soak-
ing of warm liquid manure. By warm, I
mean about 65 degrees. The ingredients
of this liquid manure I can 't tell you, for
I never tasted it, but I have seen the im-
mense tank in which it is brewed, then
pumped up to a wooden tank and by
gravity goes to any part of the houses.
It is this warm liquid that makes these
splendid fronds and without it I don't
believe you can ever produce such won-
derful results as can be seen in Utica.
Use plenty of liquid manure, but no old
Crow whiskey. William Scott.

.'* GREEN APHIS.

J should like to know the best way to
get rid ffi green aphis on pansies and
carnations in the field ; they are unusually
bad thi^-year. E. T.

tyou can use much the same methods
to destroy the green aphis on your car-
nation as^ pansy plants in the field as
you would use for them inside. Of
cotirse, y(tu cannot fumigate outside, but
you can dust the plants with tobacco
or, spray ^em with tobacco liquid. Put
it on in tW evening or early in the morn-
ing, especially the liqmd, as it will burn
th6 foliage if applied a little too strong
when the feun is quite hot.

During- the past few weeks we have
had on trial some of the To-bak-ine pro-
ducts wMch are advertised in the Re-
viiw, and.X must say that they are the
best thinOT I have ever come across for
apbii; .thnps,^ spider and all such green-
hotise pestd. O^e form is ground about
as fine as your wife grinds coffee and ha?
a certain amount of nicotine added to
make it of uniform strength. This is to
be burned and for general fumigatine thia
is very cflScient and handy, as it burns
slowly and will keep your house filled
with the fumes most of the night, yet
never dense enough with smoke to burn
the most tender plants. Another form
looks like blotting paper saturated with
a solution of nicotine made of a certain
strength. This is as effective as the
other, but is preferable to it in some
cases. It does not leave the least odor
on the blooms and while a house is in

full crop we would much prefer it to the
other. Many growers who are obliged to
cut blooms every day find it difficult to
fumigate as often as desirable and al-
ways have their blooms free from the
disagreeable burnt tobacco odor, but
with this To-bak-ine paper you can fumi-
gate in the evening and cut your blooms
the next morning without any foreign
odor. The third form is a liquid which
is the best thing we have ever run across
to fight thrips and red spider. When di-
luted to the proper proportions with

water it is so nearly clear that it does
not spot the half-open blooms nor burn
them, although it is as strong as you
dare use tobacco water. We find that
two teaspoonfuls to a gallon of water will
destroy every green or black aphis with
one application. Thrips, of course, take
seversil doses as you cannot reach them
all with one or two applications. Of this
last you should always have a case on
hand as you sometimes need it quick.

I would recommend this to E. T. for
his carnations in the field. It may tako
more than one application out of doors,
as the odor will be carried away more,
but it will do the work for him. For sev-
eral years I have been looking for a rem-
edy to be used against thrips, to recom-
mend in my answers to inquiries. I
wanted something which would do the
work expeditiously vdthout causing so
much loss and annoyance to the grower
as continual tobacco smoking invariably
causes. I am truly glad to have found
something which I feel sure will be a
boon to the grower and especially those
who have had trouble with this pest every
spring, or perhaps all through each sea-
son. I think that a good spraying once
each week during the winter will keep
them down and perhaps two each week to-
ward spring will keep your plants clean
and prevent those white spotted and
brown edged Lawson we see so much of
after hot weather sets in. Try to use it
as a preventive against thrips.

NAME OF HARDY SHRUB.

Enclosed you will find a leaf and a
spray of bloom of a hardy shrub for
name. The bloom is white and fragrant.
The spray we send you is in poor condi-
tion to send but is the best we can get
at this time, as the shrub is through
blooming, but it will show the shape of
the blooms. T. & C.

As near as we can tell from the sam-
ple leaf and flower forwarded, the shru1>
is the white fringe, Chionanthus Virgin-
ica. This is one of our most beautiful,
strong growing shrubs in Massachusetts.
It usually blooms about the middle of
June and its charming, fringe-like flow-
ers in terminal panicles attract every-
one 's attention. W. N. G&mq. '

ETIQUETTE OF THE BUSINESS.

Messages With Flowers.

Perhaps the first thing we think about
under this title is the how and why and
where of the card. How much or how
little of a message, if any at all, is per-
missible on the visiting card which ac-
companies flowers? Many people do not
appreciate the fact that the sending of
flowers itself is an expression of sym-
pathy, or congratulation, as the case
may be. The arrangement, selection and
quality of flowers should be a sufficient
expression of sentiment, but customers

will often ask you what inscription they
shall use on a card.

"Compliments" or "congratulations"
are too commonplace terms, except when
you are requested to write the former
on a card to accompany a funeral design!
For floral offerings for any occasion the
most simple and chaste style is the visit-
ing card with the name only. For ladies-,
the medium sized, nearly square card is
the approved size, and for gentlemen a
smaller, narrow card. Where a personal
message is sent, the card should always be
enclosed in an envelope and sealed.

The personal visiting card is to be
preferred to a card written for the occa-

sion. Therefore, it Is a good plan to
have a box with indexed envelopes con-
taining a little bunch of customers' en-
graved cards. Watch the supply, and
when it is exhausted, let your customer
know in time so that you will be able
to fill her orders on a moment's notice,
card and all. Be careful about placing
a card written in ink in a box where it
can be spattered with water from the
flowers, and blotted beyond legibility.

The writing of the card and the style
of delivery is indicative of the character
of the firm. Flowers of very ordinary
quality well packed count for more than
fine quality delivered in a slovenly fash-
ion. Don't sprinkle all boxes of flowers.
I lately saw a bride 's hand bouquet liber-
ally sprinkled and delivered immediately.
It would take an hour to dry before it
could be used. Speaking of brides' bou-
quets, it is a courtesy to see that all the
thorns are removed.

Be on time to the minute. Don't
promise delivery at too early hours, but
make your time at all hazards. If you
once establish confidence in this way,
you can ever afterwards dictate your
own time.

Don't Attach the Cards.

As to tying on cards. This is prac-
ticed too often, especially at funerals.
It is nobody's business but the family's
who sends these particular offerings.
Even if the cards are tied on, they
should be removed immediately upon de-
livery. Someone at the house should take
off the card and write upon the back a
short description of the offering which
this card accompanied, written acknowl-
edgment of which should follow within a
few days. Tie on cards only when it is
necessary to prevent their being lost.

At every large funeral there should
be a florist in charge of the flowers; his
presence there is necessary for the best
care and arrangement of the flowers. Re-
cently here we had an instance of how
two or three society ladies made havoc
of a fine display of flowers on just such
an occasion. Thousands of flowers were
destroyed by unskillful handling. It was
an outdoor funeral, and before the flow-
ers could be packed and transported,
many of the finest clusters were crushed
beneath passing trains, not of Pullman
cars, but of silk and lace.

In Decorative "Work.

In residence decorative work there are
many little courtesies which the fiorist
will do well to observe. In the first place
do as much of the work beforehand as
possible. Have pots and tools clean, so
as not to soil the floors and carpets.
Don't scatter things about, and help to
clean up after you are done. Finish one
room first before leaving. Have a largo
sheet to protect the fioor from being
scratched and littered. Coming in as
we do at the last moment, we necessarily
make considerable disturbance, but we
can reduce the annoyance to the minimum
by having the work well planned and
proceeding immediately to its execution.
Little extras will often be asked of you
at the last minute. Comply, if possible,
even at your own inconvenience.

On the other side of the question, in-
sist on your own rights; hold your own
with the caterer; resist indirectly at-
tempts on the part of the caterer to take
contracts for the whole thing, deeoratin?
and all; give him to understand that your
business is an art, and he has no more
right to interfere with vou than vou have

to usurp his business ; let him know in time
when you want the tables ready, and pro-
ceed to take possession. Measure off the
space that you require on the table, and
some more, but we'll consider this at
some future time. Gektrude Blaik.

CATTLEYA MOSSIAE.

The blooming of Cattleya Mossia) is
always awaited with impatience, for it is
the orchid upon which dependence is
placed for cut blooms at the season of
spring weddings; besides, none of the
family excel it in richness of coloring, in
form or in profusion of bloom. The plant
illustrated was one of this season's im-
portations by Julius Roehrs, Rutherford,
N. J., and photographed April 30.

APHIDES OR PLANT LICE.

"Nearly all plants, in garden and
field, and under glass, suffer from the
ravages of aphides, known by a great
variety of names, such as green and
black fly, smotherers, and dolphins, while
the disease they produce is sometimes
termed 'blight.'

"They belong to a group of insects
called hemipteraj which are provided
with a mouth used for sucking and ca-
pable of piercing the structures of plants,
upon the sap of which they feed. Thoy
undergo what is termed an incomplete
metamorphosis, that is, there is no quies-
cent chrysalis (pupal) stage, and they
feed throughout their whole existence.

"They damage plants in a two-fold
manner, first by sucking out the sap, and
so weakening the vitality of the plant,
and secondly by stopping the respira-
tion of the plant by blocking up tho
stomata (or breathing pores) of the
leaves with their excreta. This excreta
is not only of the ordinary kind, but
also consists of a sweet gummy sub-
stance called 'honey-dew.' A few aphides,
such as the woolly aphis produce no

houey-dew.» The skin of the plant-lice is
provided with numerous glands which
secrete either a waxy substance that cov-
ers the skin (rose aphis, bean aphis, etc.)
or dense woolly masses (beech aphis,
woolly aphis, etc.). In both cases the
excreted substances have the power of
throwing off water and so of keeping
the insects dry.

"The reproduction in aphides is very
rapid. They not only breed in the or-
dinary way, but they can also breed with-
out any males being present. The effect
of weather on aphides is very great. Dry
hot and sultry weather is favorable to
them; the same conditions check the
growth of the plant, and so the plant-
lice soon overcome it. An excessive quan-
tity of manure, especially nitrogenous
manure, also predisposes the plant to
aphis attack.

"Aphides can easily be destroyed by
spraying the affected plants with a soft
soap wash. This is made by dissolving
from six to ten pounds of soft soap in
100 gallons of soft water. The soft soap
blocks up the breathing pores of the
plant-lice, and so kills them. Quassia is
sometimes added ; this acts as an astring-
ent to the leafage, and cleans it of the
honey-dew and excreta formed by tho
aphides. For black-fly on cherry, and
for all those that produce a copious fiow
of honey-dew, it is a most useful ingredi-
ent. The quassia chips are boiled and the
extract added to the soft soap wash; six
to eight pounds of chips are required t^
every 100 gallons of wash. Paraffin
emulsion is necessary for some kinds, as
woolly aphis, which may also be at-
taeketl in winter by caustic alkali wash.
For those which attack the root it is best
to use bisulphide of carbon injected into
the soil, a quarter of an ounce to everv
four square yards. Care must be taken
with this substance, which is both poison
ous and inflammable. The vapor of bisul-
phide of carbon liquid, used in the bee-

keepers* 'smoker,' is said to be a very
good remedy for green-fly, and does not
injure the most delicate flowers.

"In all cases the aphides must be at-

tacked as soon as an invasion shows itself,
especially when the species of aphis has
the habit, like the plum aphis, of curling
up the leaves and so protecting itself. ' '

SULPHUR FOR MILDEW.

During the summer season, when firing
has to be abandoned and climatic condi-
tions are liable to sudden fluctuations,
it is almost a certainty that mildew will
put in an appearance and as a severe do^se
of this parasite has a most debilitating
effect on young stock it ought to be care-
fully guarded against and checked in its
incipient stages.

While leaves and wood are young and
tender it spreads with alarming rapidity,
sapping the juices and closing the
breathing pores, retarding and weakening
the growth and if not checked causing
entire ruin. So long as firing can be re-
sorted to painting the pipes with thc
sulphur mixture will suffice, but when the
weather becomes too hot for this, dusting
the foliage with flowers of sulphur is the
easiest applied and most effective remedy.

In order to get the full benefit of this
treatment the operation should be per-
formed during bright sunshine and the
ventilators should be closed for a short
time even though the temperature should
approach the 100° mark, as this helps
to release the fumes. The best distribr.-
tor that I know of for this purpose is the
Peerless blower, made by McMorran &
Co., Chicago, being speedy and while us-
ing less sulphur than the older class of
distributors, gives 6ach leaf its full quo-
ta of the powder. As a safeguard this
should be applied at least once a wef.'k
until firing has to be resumed.

Feeding Old Plants.

Houses which are being carried o\er
for another year's work should now re-
ceive liberal feeding, both in the form of
mulch and liquid, so that during the hot
weather they may not suffer. The mulcii
will also help to keep the roots cool and
active and prevent in a measure the dete-
rioration of bloom consequent to the hot
season.

By keeping these old plants well fed
during the summer the quality of wood
and eyes for the winter crop will h«
greatly improved and the increased vigor
and general healthfulness of the plants
will manifest itself during the whole sea-
son.

To help keep up the size of bloom on
these plants the lateral shoots should b;>
removed before they are allowed to bf-
come strong, so that all the strength of

the stem may be directed to the bud, thus
preventing any energy from going to
waste. EiBES.

ULRICH BRUNNER.

It is generally thought, and the quota-
tion of only half a dozen different roses
in the market reports in the trade papers
seems to affirm it, that no other roses but
those are largely grown. But take the
hybrid perpetual rose, Ulrich Brunner,
of which hardly ever is mention mad'i
in the market reports, and still there is
a large establishment in Orange county.
New York, which from Christmas on to
Fourth of July sends every morning
many hundred blooms of this grand rose
to the New York markets, where they
are sold along with the popular rose,
American Beauty, on equal terms.

The Ulrich Brunner rose is a seed-
ling of Paul Neyron. The color is a
deep cherry red and the habit of growth
is robust, throwing out long canes.
It is very little subject to mildew,
not at all to black spot. Th^
foliage is dark, glossy green and if well
grown and properly treated the same
plants can be grown for many years, oulv
taking care to replace with fresh stock
every season such plants as have become
weak.

The Ulrich Brunner gives two crops

and is, perhaps, among the hybrid per-
petuals, the best of the remontants. If
budded on Manetti they can be dried in
August, pruned in October and brought
to market in January, but not Bo^it
grafted on Eosa canina. It is then Nec-
essary, in order to get best results, to
freeze them, which can hardly be prop-
erly done before Christmas, and this will
retard the bloom until Easter, when
prices for all roses have dropped fifty per
cent compared with January.

It is, therefore, very important that
the grower of Ulrich Brunner should see,
as a first condition of success, that every
plant should be budded or grafted on
Manetti. The next is to give them
plenty of room on the benches; eighteen
inches apart one way and fifteen inches
the other way is probably the best. Then
the plants can develop good, healthy
wood and are apt to throw out from
three to five stout canes, which will give
as many "extras" and "specials" in che
cutting season. The second crop can be
expected from April on and is often in
quantity of bloom larger than the first.

It is the practice of some to put the
Brunners on the benches where chrys-
anthemums have been taken off, and no
doubt the result can be made profitable
in this way, but the taking in of two
large crops of Brunners must be more
profitable than one of chrysanthemums
and only one late crop of Brunners. With
regard to procuring first-class stock, Eng-
land and Ireland have until lately given
the best budded Manetti stocks, but there
are some domestic growers who now equal
them and among them the Storrs & Har-
rison Co., in Painesville, Ohio, are at the
head. Otto Andbeae.

PEONIES IN MISSOURI

A large part of the early peonies in
the Chicago and St. Louis markets come
from the vicinity of Sarcoxie, Mo. Gil-
bert H. Wild is one of the leading grow-
ers in that vicinity and the accompany-
ing illustration gives some idea of the ex-
tent and character of his fields. These
are white varieties and 30,000 flowers
had been cut and shipped before the
photograph was taken. This was the
third spring from planting for this
field.

NEW VARIETIES.

[A paper by Charles H. Totty, of Madison.
N. J., read before a recent meeting of the
Morris County, N. J., Gardeners' and Florists'
Society.]

In these few remarks I do not pro-
pose to touch on culture to any extent,
but to enumerate some of the newest
varieties, their place in the exhibition
scale, and their peculiarities.

The seedlings raised in Australia and
imported here by our enterprising grow-*
ers have transformed the face of our
exhibitions in the past year or two, and
from present indications this is likely to
continue. Two years ago, when Mrs.
E. Thirkell, Lord Salisbury, W. E.
Church and others flashed across our
view, it needed no second glanrfe to
assure us that here we had new material

and new blood with great possibilities
and the trail was followed up eagerly.
Last fall brought out quite a procession
of new ones that created a wild sensa-
tion among chrysanthemum growers at
the C. S. A. show in New York, and it
is these varieties that we will deal with
more particularly to-night.

The variety of the year was William
Duckham and as a Japanese incurved
it will hold its own for years in its
color. It is the largest pink I know of
and is ideal in every way, growth, foliage
and habit being as near perfect as it is
possible to be. In naming such a vari-
ety after our worthy fellow member.
Mr. Ihickham, the introducer indirectly
paid this society and its membership
a great compliment. It showed that he

had heard something about the quality
of the flowers raised in this section,
which is, I honestly believe, second to
none in the world.

Two other pinks appear in the Wells-
Pockett set for this year, namely Leila
Filkins and F. A. Cobbold, but unfortun-
ately for them they are somewhat over-
shadowed by W. Duckham and probably
will not be so extensively grown on that
account, though either one in an ordi-
nary year would be largely advertised
and brougiht to the notice of the public.
It is worthy of note that these three
pinks produce just as good colored flow-
ers from a crown bud as from a later
one, which used not to be the case with
pink varieties, so many of the older
varieties nseding to be taken on a later
bud to get the best color.

In the crimson section great advances
have been made in giving us varieties
that will not burn up in the sun. This
class has been very unsatisfactory for
years on that account, as no grower
was willing to spend time and money
growing crimsons and not be able to get
a satisfactory flower. H. J. Jonea was
the first red to give satisfaction in re-
gard to standing sunlight, and now we
have lots of them.

Maynell and S. T. Wright are the
Wells' novelties, and very fine they arc.
Henry Barnes is darker, but one of the
most telling colors set up among whites
and yellows in the small-vase classes.
Maynell would be more to my liking
if it did not incurve so much, as this
incurving habit hides the wonderful
crimson coloring somewhat. In common
with both Henry Barnes and S. T.
Wright, it is recommended not to shade
Maynell. as the full sunlight tends to
make the petals reflex instead of in-
curve. This advice should, however, I
think, not be taken too literally, our
American climate being very different to
the English one. You will all remember
the spell of hot weather we had at the
end of October last year, when not only
reds, but all varieties, white and yellow
included, burned badly where not shaded.

Mrs. F. W. Vallis, a variety raised,
I believe, by Silsbury in the Isle of
Wight, will be a grand addition to the
crimsons, if it lives up to its possibili-
ties. It is a Japanese and its long,
drooping petals as they unfold from day
to day show some exquisite coloring.

In what may be termed the unclassi-
fied colors there are several varietic
that are very fine indeed. Miss Mildred
Ware is, perhaps, the largest. In size
and shape it may be compared to Mme.
Carnot, of which it is a seedling, and in
color much like Lady Anglesey. It ex-
hibits some tendency to leaf spot in the
small stages, but it is naturally a robust
variety and grows out of this as the
plant gathers strength.

Mary Inglis is another variety that is
somewhat on the same color, shading off
a little to terra cotta. There is a great
demand for this variety, and this de-
mand cannot be supplied in full for
some years, for Inglis is the slowest
variety in producing stock that I ever
handled. It is a fine grower when
started, but it simply will not produce
suckers from the soil in the usual man-
ner.

General Hutton is a variety that just
missed being a grand yellow by being
shaded somewhat with red. If we could
eliminate that red streak we would have
a peerless variety, for the yellow is

deeper than the yellow in the famous
old Golden Wedding and it is a grand
grower and keeper. As it is, it loses in
color if set in a class calling for yellows
when competing against clean self colors,
such as Col. Appleton or Mrs. Thirkell.
Two other varieties that show this yel-
low and red coimbination are Donald
McLeod and Harrison Dick, both ideal
growers and easy to handle. While they
cannot be set up in a class calling for
a yellow, they are very valuable in such
classes as the six sixes or in setting up
a collection.

We have hitherto run altogether too
much to the three colors, white, yellow
and pink, in our exhibitions, and this
produced a sameness that became mo-
notonous, but now with classes that per-
mit of staging these novel colors the
general color scheme is diversified and
much more interesting, and the fickle
public, ever craving for something new,
finds lots to interest it.

There is but one sport being distrib-
uted this year, namely, Cheltoni, the
yellow sport from Nellie Pockett. The
demand for this variety is far ahead of
the visible supply, Nellie Pockett being
so well known and liked. Next year
there may possibly be several sports in
the market, one a white sport from the
pink Mrs. Coombee, and a bronze sport
from that grand variety, Mrs. Thirkell.

Wo are running shy on good exhibi-
tion whites at present, and no new one
is being distributed this year. Ben
Wells, while it may do for a white, has
a tinge of pink in it that detracts some-
what from its general appearance, al-
though Ben Wells is well worth growing
by everyone. We want a white with
tiie purity of the old Niveus, the size of
Mme. Carnot, or larger, and the consti-
tution of W. Duckham. A white com-
bining these qualities will have a phe-
nomenal sale.

There is a new star rising on the
chrysanthemum horizon in the per8«n of
a certain French amateur, who, it is
claimed, has raised some grand new seed-
lings which will appear in due season.
I hope it may be true, though very
many of the French varieties, for some
reason or other, do not do well here.

Out of the thousands of French vj.rie-
ties imported in recent years the old
Mme. Carnot is about the only one that
has stayed with us long enough to get
acquainted, and even Carnot has to bo
very carefully handled to keep it in
good health.

The chrysanthemum to-day may be
said to be once more on the top of the
vfavd of popularity the world over. The
bread and butter florist says there is
no money in growing them for market,
and certainly prices last fall were very
poor, but that depression spread through
every line of cut flowers, as well as the
mum, and the grower himself, I think,
lias been largely responsible for the de-
cline in prices by throwing on the mar-
ket a vast quantity of absolute rubbish,
which can hardly be sold at any price.

But the number of exhibitions and ex-
hibitors is increasing by leaps and
bounds, and new varieties are eagerly
snapped up by these enthusiasts, who
guard their treasures as a miser guards
his gold. I have been accused of sleeping
in the mum house when the plants were
in flower, and while I deny that allega-
tion, and defy that allegator, I will say
this, that when a man gets a good attack
of chrysanthemumitis. be he rich or poor,
it will stay, with him till he passes to
the great beyond, recurring every fall
as regularly as the year rolls round.

One runs across a man every once in
a while who will tell you that though
the varieties change there is no real
progress in the chrysanthemum. Such a
man does not follow the exhibitions or
he would know better. Think over for
yourself the exhibitions held by your
own society in the past five years and
see if we have not made progress, and
what is true here is true the world over.
Only a year or two ago the trade papers
were gravely discussing the question of
making classes separate for Timothy
Eaton and Colonel Appleton. T^st fail
many varieties were set up that easily
beat either of them in size and finish,
and in another year or so they will drop
peacefully out of sight, left behind and
forgotten, and we shall be worshiping
at the feet of some new idol that has
been born in some far away corner of

the earth. We may safely predict that
the interest in the chrysanthemum will
never wane so long as new and striking
forms continue to delight us from year
to year.

IN THE ROSE TOWN.

The accompanying illustrations give
some idea of the extent of glass and char-
acter of the stock this season at the
South Park Floral Co., New Castle, Ind.,
the photographs being taken recently.
The main range shown is that of the
Heller Brothers, the two houses in the
foreground being those of William Ditt-
nian, formerly foreman for his neighbors
and now growing Beauties for his own
account, shipping his output to J. A.
Budlong, Chicago. Since these photo-
graphs were taken Heller Bros, have be-
gun a new range at the left of the pic-
ture, including several houses of the same
size as those shown and one house
48x275, with six benches, with a capacity
of about 8,000 teas. The firm will grow
several houses of carnations this year
although for several seasons the place
has been entirely in roses. The new
glass will allow them about the usual
planting of Beauties, with an increase in
the teas and space for the carnation«<.
They are now selling most of their cut
direct from the greenhouses.

COVENT GARDEN MARKET.

Following are brief notes by A. Hems-
ley OD trade conditions this spring in
Covent Garden Market, London, Eng-
land:

Bedding plant trade was very good,
most things making good prices, but
small stuff in boxes was much overdone.

Ivy-leaved pelargoniums (geraniums)
have been very abundant; the three lead-
ing sorts are Mme. C rouse, Chas. Turner
and Galilee, some of the latter being a
mass of bright pink bloom.

Lilium longiflorum, cut, has lately
much exceeded the demand and prices
have been very low.

Bunches of short fronds of Asparagus
plumosus nanus are now much used and
those who grow it well must find it a
profitable crop.

Even now a few salemen keep to trade
buyers only but since supplies have so
increased many make no distinction and
at holiday times the market is full of
private buyers.

There is always a demand for well
flowered lobelias.

Chrysanthemum segetum is now much
used in place of the yellow marguerite.

Polygala oppositifolia is not an ordi-
nary market plant but it is found that
florists like it on account of its color.

Nephrolepis Westoni makes a grand
plant and should prove a useful addition
to market ferns.

Some of the finest roses seen this sea-
son were Mme. Chatenay cut with lon«y
stems.

The best spireas seen are of the vari-
ety S. astilboides floribunda.

LETTUCE IN SMALL TOWN.

I am located in a small city some dis-
tance from a market and where there is
no regular supply of winter vegetables.
I think I could sell quite a little lettuce
if I could grow it on a bench in a house
of miscellaneous plants. Can it be doneT
What temperature does lettuce require?
What kind of soil? When composted?
When should lettuce be sown for the
first winter crop? How far apart should
Grand Eapids be planted? How long
should it take to mature? F. K.

It is hardly practicable to grow lettuce
in a house along with miscellaneous
plants as the temperature required for
lettuce is too low for suf.h sto«k. A night
temperature of from 40 to 45 degrees is
about right for lettuce. Lettuce re-
quires a moderately enriched soil, not too
stiff. If not already done the present
would be a good time for composting the
material. Good sod soil should be pro-
cured and composted with well rotted
barn manure in the proportion of about
five loads of soil to one of manure, but
it is very important that the manure be
well rotted, as lettuce does not take
kindly to it if it is in any way fresh.
We make the first sowing for early win-
ter use about August 20, but this crop
we count on maturing in cold frames.
With covering after the nights get cold
we seldom fail to reap good results from
this crop and can usually depend on it
for our supply up to about Christmas.
We make the first sowing for greenhouse
work about the middle of September.
This matures in time to succeed those
grown in the frames. About three
months is usually necessary for the crop
to mature from time of sowing. About
eight inches each way is necessary as
space to develop good large heads of
Grand Rapids. W. S. Croydon.

ASPARAGUS UNDER GLASS.

Will you kindly give me information in
regard to asparagus culture under glass?
Is it possible to grow it under the
benches or must it have the full sun-
light? What are the best varieties for
forcing? What age must the roots have
to produce a crop this coming winter?
How close can the roots be planted and
what temperature should it be grown in?

J. L. D.

It is possible to grow asparagus under
greenhouse benches; in fact, it is very
eommonly grown under such conditions.
Sunshine is not necessary to the develop-
ment of the growth but when forced en-
tirely dark it will, of course, be nil
white. Sufficient light should therefore be
given to have at least the tips green.
Regarding variety, the larger growers,
such as Palmetto and Colossal, are the
most profitable to force. Roots should net
be less than three years old, under ordin-
ary conditions, but this depends entirely
on the conditions under which it is grown.
Under very favorable circumstances
strong crowns can be produced in two
years and the strength of the crown 'n
the deciding point more than the age of

it. The crowns can be set as close to-
gether as the roots will allow but of
course must not be crowded on top of
one another.

If yoa are going into the asparagus
forcing business it will pay you to grow
your own roots for one season, at least,
before forcing. They can then be placed
in the forcing quarters in a much freshor
condition th^n if they have to be shipped
from a distance. In lifting the crowns
from the home grounds part of the soil
will naturally adhere and there is no
danger of drying up of the roots. Un-
der these conditions it would not be nec-
essary to put any material under them
providing the floor is of soil or sand,
but the clumps can be set on the floor
just as close as they will stand. A cov-
ering over the crowns of about thr'>c
inches of some loose, free material, such
as leaf-mold, will be all that is neces
aary. If leaf-mold is not convenient,
sand can be used but a stiff retentive soil
should be avoided.

Forcing will be considerably facili-
tated by exposing to slight frost before
taking inside. In the month of Decem-
ber, when lifting our first batch, we
usually throw the clumps on the surface
of the ground and leave them there un-
til they get about 10 degrees of frost; a
little more won't hurt them, but this is
sufficient to make them easier started.
All the roots necessary for keeping np
the winter's supply should be lifted be-
fore the ground freezes too hard and
stored in a cool cellar till wanted.

When the roots have been procured
from a distance and have been
shaken bare of soil it will be necessary
to make a bed of about three inches of
some material, such as recommended for
covering, to lay the roots on, covering as
before recommended. A temperature of
65 degrees at night will bring them along
to be fit to cut in about three weeks from
the time they are put in. They can be
forced in a lower temperature but growth
will, of course, be slower. It is not
profitable to keep the roots over after
forcing, it being better to throw them
away and procure others for another sea-
son. W. S. Ceoydon.

INDCX)R GRAPERIES.

At first sight it seems somewhat
strange that grapes are not more ex-
tensively grown indoors in this country,
seeing that they can be done equally as
well here as in Europe and that tons
of grapea are annually imported to sup-
ply the demand in our larger cities,
good fruit always commanding a good
price and ready sale.

I think that the principal reason why
grapes are not more extensively grown
here is the expense incurred in building
the houses and establishing the vines
and having to wait so long for returns.
When a florist starts he usually does
so with small capital and, as it is a
case of trying to make ends meet as
soon as possible, he chooses a crop that
will bring quick returns. With grap-
eries one year must elapse before any
returns can be had and even then but
two or three bunches can be had from
each vine, even where two-year-old canes
have been planted. It is at least four
years before a full crop can be had, so
it stands to reason that it would not pay
the beginner to build graperies. Some
may say, "but why not the established
grower?" The reason here is that the
established grower has a business al-
ready made and no doubt his idea is
to leave well enough alone in place of
risking the trying of experiments. And
when he builds more houses it is sim-
ply to keep ■ step with his increasing
trade along the lines already established.

But the question arises, would it pay
in the end? I am rather inclined to
think that it would. The fact of their
having to be imported shows that there
is a demand for the product. And hav-
ing the advantage of a warmer climate
here, less fire heat being necessary, al-
lowing for more expensive labor, they
can be grown as cheaply here as in Eu-
rope, ought to reach the markiets in bet-
ter condition and ought to command
equal if not better prices.

In building the houses the idea of a
cheap structure need not be entertained,
as grape vines once established, borders
well made and general conditions fa-
vorable, they ought to last and continue
to give good crops for from sixteen to
twenty years. They will continue to
bear much longer than this, but as the

vine, ages the bunches get smaller and
small bunches don't command the top
market price.

In the construction of the house it
must first be decided whether the bor-
der is to be all indoors or if an out-
door border is also to be allowed. In
the latter case the foundation must con-
sist of a series of arches to allow the
roots freedom to gain thd out side bor-
der. Much diversity of opinion exists
regarding the utility of an outside bor-
der, some claiming that it is an advan-
tage and others that it is unnecessary,
but I believe that both theories aro
right under certain conditions. For an
early house, one that has to be forced
during the winter months, it is better
to have the border all inside, as the dif-
ference in the temperature of the soil
outdoors from that inside is too ex-
treme. But with a late house, the out-
door and indoor temperatures being
about equal, I believe that the outdoor
border is of advantage. In an early
house the grapes are usually cut as soon
as ripe, as the earlier they can bef got
into the market the better the price pro-
cured; hence there is no necessity of
hanging them on any length of time
after they are ripe, but with the late
house the ease is diflTerent The idea
here is to keep them as late as pos-
sible, and as the atmosphere of the house
has to be kept as dry as possible after
ripening, where an outdoor border is pro-
vided the moisture procured from it pre-
vents the fruit from shriveling.

In either case a brick foundation is
the best and cheapest in the end. This
must be built well down as the soil
must be excavated to a depth of about
four feet to allow space for ample drain-
age and sufficient depth of border. A
span roofed house running north and
south is the most suitable construction
for a grapery, as it allows equal light
to the vines on both sides of the house.
The house may be built of any desired
length, but the most suitable width is
about twenty- two feet. About fourteen
feet from the floor to ridge is a conven-
ient height. The brick foundation should
rise about one foot above the level of
the soil and to allow of good bottom
ventilation the upright sides should not
be less than two and one-half feet from

the) sill. Ample top ventilation should
also be provided on both sides. This
allows of a free circulation of air dur-
ing calm weather and during windy
weather cold draughts can be avoided by
putting air oa the sheltered side only.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

The market is dull this week, though
there is about as much business as usual
toward the end of Jime. The commence-
ments are over and most of the weddings,
the few left for the present week con-
suming a fair amount of stock.

Kaiserins are in crop and, with Beau-
ties, form the rose mainstays. Sweet
peas are awfully plentiful and cheap. The
knowing ones now pull out all their vines
but a few rows and care for those. Val-
ley is in fair demand, though it does not
always clean up. Peonies have laste*!
over this week, thanks chiefly to Elmer
Gealiring and his cold storage enterprise.
Smilax has taken a bad tumble and can
be bought at one-half the price of a
week ago. There are many pretty out-
door flowers in. They add variety but
do not, as a rule, yield much revenue.
Last, but by no means least, carnations
are of better average quality; that is, the
poorer ones are disappearing, making the
supply smaller. They are only in fair
demand.

A New Charter.

Last Tuesday notice was given in the
daily papers that application would be
made for a charter under the laws of
the state of Pennsylvania for the Leo
Niessen Co., wholesale florists, 1217 Arch
street, Philadelphia. The ofiicers of the
company will be Leo Niessen, president;
W. E. McEassick, vice-president, and Ar-
thur A. Niessen, secretary and treasurer.
The capital will be $20,000 full paid. The
business was started in 1895 by Leo Nies-
sen, ou.Thirteenth street above Market.
After two years he moved to Juniper
street above Market. Two years later he
moved to the northwest comer of Thir-
teenth and Filbert streets, where the busi-
ness was carried on for . the next three
and a half years in much larger quarters.
Here Mr. Niessen was joined by his
brother, Arthur A. Niessen and by Wil-
liam E. McKlssick. Hfteen months ago
the business was removed to the present
handsome quarters at 1217 Arch street.
The wisdom of this step has been shown
by the gratifying increase in business
during the past year. Mr. Niessen
lias been considering the present step
for fully two years. He and his asso-
ciates have the best wishes of their many
business friends.

Roses.

The weekly articles of "Bibes" pub-
lished in the Review are recognized by
our rose growers as the best notes of the
day on rose culture. His knowledge,
frankness and clearness are admitted on
all sides and to him both beginners and
masters of the craft are indebted for
many valuable suggestions.

His article last week on the folly of
delaying the replanting American Beauty
roses l^yond the month of June is of
great interest. In this "Ribes" voices
the opinion of our leading Beauty grow-
ers. There is, however, a feeling against
this hitherto accepted rule. One of our
very best and largest Beauty growers be-
lieves in late propagation and often plants

quite as many houses in July as in June.
These late houses are frequently planted
out of ^xS-inch pots just starting into
growth, the idea being to secure plants
that have never had the semblance of a
check. Experience has shown that these
houses paid better in many cases than
those planted earlier with fine plants
from larger pots. Local conditions largely
govern these results. "Ribes" considered
the hot summer of our central states and
understood his market. Here on the
eastern seaboard our heat of summer is
apt to be tempered, while the Beauty
market is poor until very late in the fall.
Some growers plant Beauties just for a
fall crop, following with something else.
Then, too, the surplus of every variety of
flower during part of the fall has its ef-
fect on the price of Beauties, so that the
houses cut from early often get a very
poor start in dollars and cents over those
planted later. I give these facts not
to dispute the truth of what "Ribes"

No. 16. What is the best disposition

in a greenhouse t Can bulbs such as
tulips, French hyacinths and Paper White
narcissi, be grown there to advantage?

The best growers do not as a rule
utilize the space under the benches for
growing plants or bulbs. Bulbs, mush-
rooms and even chickens have been suc-
cessfully raised there. The danger lies
in damaging the stock undemeatli
through water or bruising and in the ac-
cumulations of dirt.

No. 17. What are the average returns
and the average expenses for wages on
a greenhouse plant of from 10,000 to
50,000 square feet of glass f

An extremely difficult question, the an-
swer depending much on the season, the
kind of stock grown and the ability and
liberality of the grower. During the past,
a poor season, one place of 50,000 square
feet earned 40 cents a square foot, which
is decidedly above the average. I doubt
whether the average would reach 35
cents a square foot of ground space cov-
ered. Regarding labor, one man can
properly care for from 5,000 to 6,000
square feet of space, exclusive of firing.

The past week was a busy one for our
florists, with work for school commence-
ments and weddings. There seemed to
be plenty of stock at the wholesale houses,
still the market fluctuated greatly as to
supplies, one day plenty of fancy stock,
the next hardly any. At the present
writing there is plenty of stock in the
market for all demands in the first
grades; fancy is somewhat limited. Now
that school work is over and only a few
weddings left for this month, the social
work is about ended for the season. To-
day (Monday) we find the market in
good supply in roses. American Beauties
of the fancy grades still go for $2 to $3
per dozen. Some fairly good Beauties
can be bought for $1.50 per dozen, with
shorts at 75 cents. Small tea roses in
Brides, Maids, Jacqs and Liberty de-
mand the same price as a week ago, $5
and $6 per 100 for the best, poor stock
as low as $1 per 100. Sweet peas are
plentiful, white and lavender selling the
best; 50 cents per 100 is asked and in
1,000 lots they are much cheaper. The
bulk of the carnations that are cominjr
in are of very poor quality. The demand
for fancy stock is big. These sell clean,
but common stock is often dumped. Can-
didum lilies are seen everywhere in the
florists' windows. Plenty of peonies are
still to be had at $2 and $3 per 100.

Planting out is about over and the

powers are again breathing easy. All
report about the same, the best season
wo ever had and about sold out of every-
thing good.

Various Notes.

The American Seed Trade Association
•will open the twenty-second annual con-
vention tomorrow (Tuesday). Mr. Schis-
ler, of Schisler-Corneli Seed Co., has
charge of the local committee on enter-
tainment. A large attendance of seeds-
men is expected. The meeting will take
place at the Forest Park University
Hotel, near the World's Fair grounds.
€. E. Kendel, of Cleveland, Ohio, is al-
ready here and S. F. Willard, the presi-
■dent, is expected in the morning, also
■Chas. McCullough, vice-president. The
•entertainment will consist of a boat ride,
a visit to Shaw's Garden and a day at
the World's Fair. The local committee,
consisting of Messrs. Schisler, Plant,
Prunty and Bushnell, has all arrange-
ments completed to entertain the visitors.

The exhibition of peonies in the Horti-
culture building from May 28 to June
7 was large and fine. The following firms
made exhibitions: Chicago Carnation
■Co., Joliet, 111.; J. F. Eosenfield, West
Point, Neb. ; Charlton Nursery Co., Rocl^
«Bter, N. Y.; C. W. Ward, Queens, N.
Y., and G. & M. Wild, of Sarcoxie, Mo.
There were nine classes, all of which
were competed for.

C. Young & Sons Co., Wm. Schray &
"Sons, Michel Plant and Bulb Co., and
-Shaw's Garden are the local exhibitors
in the Horticulture buUding, all making
splendid exhibits.

Becent visitors in the trade were A.
Dietsch, Chicago; J. H. McFarland, Har-
Tisburg, Pa.; Thos. B. Meehan, Phila-
delphia, and H. P. Kelsey, Boston.

Henry C. Ostertag, of Ostertag Bros,
■contemplates building a fine conserva-
tory and store at the corner of Washing-
ton and Taylor avenues, to cost $8,000.
The plans are being made by Mr.
Thompson. J. F. Windt, at 901 Bay-
ard avenue, is building a show house :tt
his place to cost $3,000. The work is also
i'being done by Mr. Thompson.

Frank H. Weber will leave this week
to attend the twenty-ninth annual meet-
ing of the American Association of Nurs-
erymen, which takes place at Atlanta.
Oa., June 22 to 24. Mr. Weber is a
vice-president of the association.

Carl Beyer, chairman of the bowlinj:
• committee, has made arrangements with
Martin Kern, who is the champion of
the United States, for the use of his
twelve alleys at Twenty-second and Frank-
lin avenues for the bowling tournament
of the S. A. F. in August. These are
the finest alleys in the city, within easy
reach of the convention hall. Mr. Kern
has promised to do all in his power to
make the stay of the florist bowlers at
his alleys long to be remembered.

The lady bowlers have had several
meetings of late and a program has been
mapped out for the entertainment of the
visiting ladies during their stay. Their
bowling will take place on Wednesday
morning at the same alleys where the
men bowl that afternoon. Miss
Tillie Meinhardt, Mrs. F. C. Weber, Mrs.
Theo. Miller, Mrs. F. M. Ellis, Mrs. J. J.
Beneke and Mrs. F. H. Meinhardt will
have charge of the entertaining, assisted
by the other ladies of the club.

C. A. Kuehn, superintendent of trade
display, is already a very busy man per-
fecting plans as to the display, with ap-
plications for space coming in by every
^mail. Otto Koenig and F. M. Ellis are

Pansy Exhibit of Peter Brown, Lancaster, Pa., at St. Louis "World's Fair. i.

also busy with their duties. Messrs.
Ammann, Beyer and Beneke are also
working hard.

Among the week's visitors was Charles
W. Biemers, Louisville, Ky.

PITTSBURG.

The Market.

Cut flower business is dead; the de-
mand for stock is very light. June wed-
dings all occurred the early part of the
month, leaving nothing for the florists
but funeral work and orders for com-
mencements. There are not enough of
these to create any special demand.

The quality of roses and carnations is
somewhat better than at this time last
year, and the quantity is so great that
only the very best are sold, the balance
reaching the dump. Many growers lo
not seem to consider the season; th3y

ship and pay express charges on stock,
which, from its appearance when it reaches
the wholesalers, must have been worthless
when packed. Peonies have been a drug
on the market this season.

Various Notes.

H. P. Joslin shipped the Cut Flower
Co. quantities of fine Spanish iris. This
wholesale house had several large ship-
ping orders for Beauties last week.

William Kroek reports a good demani
for vegetable plants last week.

The Pittsburg Rose and Carnation Co.
is still cutting very fair roses and car-
nations and promises a fine cut of Kai-
serins a little later.

The date of the Florists' Club's picnic
wiU be announced at the next meeting,
Tuesday evening, July 5. The committee
is arranging a very elaborate program, I
am sure there will be "large doings.'.'

The various civic clubs in our sur-
rounding towns have been doing a good
work by offering prizes for the best kept
gardens and lawns, and in this way
arouse much interest in plants and shrub-
bery, from which the florists and plants-
men are benefited. Wide-awake nursery-
men are taking advantage of this and
their agents are booking good orders for
fall delivery.

Last Saturday the Bellevue Civic
Improvement League gave its second an-
nual flower show. Thousands of people
witnessed the display, which was very
large. This league issued a general in-
vitation to all of the community to send
flowers for exhibition. Besides these, a
large collection of shrubbery was sent by
Wm. H. Moon Co., of Morrisville, Pa.,
and Henry A. Dreer, Philadelphia. Local
florists who exhibited were Fred Burki,
B. L, Elliott, Geddis & Blind Brothers,
John Bader, E. C. Lud'wig, N. A. Blanev
& Co., G. & J. W. Ludwig, H. P. JosUil,
H. C. Frick, and the Schenley park con-
servatories. The influence of this society
is very noticeable in the community; the
la'wns are well kept, front fences are re-
moved and hedges planted in their place.
J. W. Vickerman, of Bellevue, is secre-
tary of the league. The craft congrat-
ulate him on his good work.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

June 23, 1904.

BOSTON.

The Market

There has been an overabundance of
flowers in the market the pa«t week and
many were sold with difficulty at low
rates. Boses are now coming in small
and in some cases badly mildewed. Out-
door hybrids, such as Jacq., Luizet,
Magna Charta and Brunner, are now
abundant and of very fair quality. They
sell well for weddings and school gradua-
tions. Carnations are becoming poor and
druggy; sales of poor stock were re-
ported at 25 cents per 100 last week.
Fancy stock reaches $1.50 to $2. Peonies
have been very abundant. A large call
for weddings cleared them but fairly
well. Prices on off colors were as low
as $1 per 100, while as high as $8 was
secured for very fine stock, from $2 to $5
being the average price. The present
week will end the supply of these. Out-
door sweet pei^ are now coming in plenti-
fully but ar^- inferior to indoor stock as
yet, stems being short. They clear out
well. Water lilies are getting common.
Iris Hispanica from outdoors is abund-
ant and of fine quality. Such flowers as
stocks, antirrhinum, sweet william and
feverfew have been druggy, but the de-
mand for school and children's day serv-
ices in churches has helped to prevent
a serious glut.

Various Notes.

The annual rose and strawberry show
of the Massachusetts Horticultural So-
ciety opened on Tuesday and is an excel-
lent one. Some of the leading exhibitors
are Miss S. B. Fay, M. H. Walsh, Mrs.
J. L. Gardner, Walter Hunnewell, E. J.
Shaylor, T. C. Thurlow, George Hollia,
Robert Cameron, the Arnold Arboretum,
E. & J. Parquhar & Co. and Dr. C. S.
Minot. Miss Fay is, as usual, the larg-
est and most successful rose exhibitor.
Strawberries, grapes, peaches and other
fruits are of fine quality. A detailed
report will appear in the next issue of the
Keview.

General regret is expressed at the seri-
ous accident which happened to E. Suter-
meister a few days ago. Mr. Suter-
meister was thrown from his delivery
wagon and painfully injured, one leg
being broken by the wheels which passed
over him. His many friends at the
wholesale market and elsewhere wish him
a speedy recovery.

Eecent visitors to Boston include C. A.
V. Frith, the well known lily grower of
Bermuda, and George A. Bishop, super-
intendent of the botanic gardens at Ham-
ilton, Bermuda. Mr. Bishop is devoting
much of his time to rectifying the lily
disease. He says the chief cause of so
many poor bulbs being shipped from tho
island in the past few years has been
that the growers sold every good bulb
they produced, in nearly every case retain-
ing the very poorest stock to plant for
themselves. He is succeeding in gradual-
ly changing this system and expects in
time to be able to stamp out the dis-
ease.

R. & J. Farquhar & Co. have an es-
pecially fine and remarkably distinct new
form of Lilium longiflorum, which they
hope to be able to place on the market
in the future. The trumpet of the
flower is much longer than in any other
form of longiflorum and the foliage very
narrow, resembling that of Dracaena in-
divisa. John Farquhar discovered this
variety growing wild on his last visit to

Japan and thinks it is going to be a very
valuable acquisition.

J. W. Manning, the well known land-
scape architect, was the essayist at the
meeting of the Gardeners' and Florists'
Club on June 21. The attendance was
again remarkably good and everything
points to a boom for the society next
fall such as it has never before experi-
enced.

A free flower show was held on June
18 and 19 in Andrew School, Oswego
street, Boston, one of the poorest sec-
tions of the city. Large contributions of
flowers and flowering plants came from
Prof. C. S. Sargent, Miss M. S. Ames,
Mrs. C. F. Sprague, E. V. R. Thayer,
Walter Hunnewell, R. C. Hooper and Dr.
C. G. Weld. R. & J. Farquhar & Co. fur-
nished palms and other foliage plants.
The flowers comprised large quantities of
peonies, roses, rhododendrons, kalmias,
irises and many other seasonable flowers,

all artistically arranged. The residents
in the section where the show was heM
are mostly immigrants of the poorest
class. They attended the show in thou-
sands and thoroughly appreciated the ef-
forts of Miss May Sargent and the other
society ladies who so successfully engin-
eered the exhibition.

General regret is felt at the decision
of Archibald Smith, manager of the seed
department and one of the firm of Jo-
seph Breck & Sons, of Boston, to leave
America. Mr. Smith has bought the
George Prince seed business at Oxford,
England, and takes possession of the same
next month. He has been with the firm
of Breck & Sons sixteen years and much
of their success is due to his skillful man-
agement. Some handsome presents were
made to Mr. Smith by members of the
firm, employes and others, and his many
friends wish him much success in his new
business.

A spell of hot, dry weather has been
experienced for several days. A gor
generous rainfall would be appreciated.
Florists report an unusually late 8easi')n
for bedding plants, but the demand has
proved fully up to the average.

Hardy roses, contrary to expectations,
are unusually good. Strawberries are at
the height of their season with us, ' ' three
boxes for a quarter" being a frequent
cry. They are a splendid crop. Hay
making is becoming quite general, an ex-
cellent crop all round. Potatoes and

other vegetable crops look fine and thero
is an unusual paucity of bugs on crops
in general, for which we are deeply grate
ful. We cannot find much fault with
the season to date.

At the Patten-Thayer wedding last
week there was some elaborate decorating.
Peonies, pink and white, mountain lau-
rel, now at its height here, roses and
syringas were largely used. Miltoniaa
and odontoglossums were freely used in
the church and produced a fine effect.
Galvin and A. P. Meredith, Mr. Thayer's
gardener, had charge of the extensive
decorations.

Weekly prize exhibitions commence at
Horticultural Hall on July 9, continuing
until the end of August. While Boston
is looking forward to the coming meet-
ings of the chrysanthemum and rose
societies, another extensive exhibition to
come about the early part of June, 1905,
is mooted. This will probably not be in-
cluded in the society's schedule, but if it
goes through as it undoubtedly will it
promises to eclipse anything previously
seen in the Hub.

There is a grand show of hardy peren-
nials at present to be seen at the Blue
Hill Nurseries. The proprietor, Julius
'Heurlin, has one of the finest assortments
of these plants in America, including
many new or scarce varieties. This
nursery is one of the best kept in New
England.

The following circular from the Boston
Co-operative Flower Growers' Associa-
tion has been issued to all its members.
Perhaps it may tend to "prevent the
threatened split in its membership:

"At a meeting of the directors Satur-
day, June 4, 1904, it was voted that the
rent of stalls for the year commencing
October 1, 1904, shall be $25 per year,
with premiums for choice as heretofore.
After all expenses for the year have been
paid, including the usual dividends to
the stockholders, the balance, of 4b6 profits
for the year shall be returned to the stall
holders. The division of profits to each
stall holder shall be in prM)ortion to the
amount of rent and premimn paid."

CHICAGO.

The Market.

Tliis is ordinarily one of the best weeks
in the year but, while total sales may
not be far from normal, it is probable
that average returns for the stock mar-
keted were never before so low for the
third week in June. There is the nor-
mal amount of business doing' and twice
the normal amount of stock is moved,
but the demand makes no appreciable
impression on the supply and it is nec-
essary to force sales on practically
every item. The only exceptions to this
are Beauties and valley. Really good
Beauties are practically out of the mar-
ket and receipts are light on what would
be called fair summer stock. The result
is that wholesalers are having consider-
able diflBculty in filling orders in this de-
partment. The demand for valley for
wedding bouquets is keeping this item
cleaned up and has resulted in an ad-
vance in price where practically every-
thing else in the market is on the down
grade.

There continue to be heavy receipts of
tea roses, with quality not so good as it
was a week ago. The best stock moves
fairly well, but it is almost impossible to
get rid of the low grades. Carnations
are, however, holding back worse than
the roses. Much of this stock is of very
good quality, but it seems impossible to
move it at any price and the poorer
stock is generally sold out at from 3 to
5 cents per bunch.

The peony crop is very nearly at an
end, but there are still very large daily
receipts, the quality varying from very
good to very poor. Some of the stock
is selling for 75 cents per dozen where
large quantities of other varieties are
scarcely bringing express charges. How-
ever, the trade is getting tired of hand-
ling the low grade peonies and the de-
mand is noticeably better for the good
stock, which is as it should be. There
are considerable quantities still in cold
storage, so that there are likely to be
plenty of peonies for Fourth of July, if
anybody wants them.

The market is full of sweet peas,
longiflorum and candidum lilies, gladioli
and many odds and ends, the latter of lit-
tle value under existing conditions.
Ferns are down to $1.50 per 1,000 and

smilax is bringing good money because of
the scarcity in asparagus.

Various Notes.

Thomas Best has returned from Akron,
Ohio, where he was for a brief perio<i
in partnership with E. J. Bolanz in his
retail store.

Mj. and Mrs. O. P. Bassett have been
down to St. Louis to see the exposition,
but were not favorably impressed with
its state of completion.

Weiland & Risch are not adding to their
glass this year, but are already planning
for a big extension next spring if busi-
ness conditions next winter are up to
their anticipations.

Miss Jessie Ludlow and C. E. De
Wever were married June 16. The bride
is a granddaughter of Edgar Sanders
and has been employed as cashier of
Vaughan's Seed Store many years. Mr.
De Wever is of the Belgian plant-growing
firm of De Wever Bros., and has been
acquiring familiarity with the American
trade at Vaughan's for some time, hav-
ing recently been in charge of the ex-
hibit at St. Louis. The couple will make
their home in Belgium.

J. S. Wilson and George A. Kuhl took
possession of the Albert Fuchs place last
Thursday. It is their intention to con-
tinue the retail business and largely ex-
tend the wholesale plant trade.

The Florists' Club will hold its final
meeting for the season tonight. The
newly drafted by-laws have been placed
in the members ' hands and will be up for
adoption at this meeting.

At the installation of the eminent com-
mander of Englewood commandery last
Friday night M. G. Holding, of the
Sprague-Smith Co., presented the emin-
ent commander with a magnificent bunch
of peonies.

Ed. Winterson is suffering with rheu-
matism in his left knee, which the doctor
says comes from working on the damp
cement floor.

The Georere Witt.bold Co. has been get-
ting in a big crop of peonies from its
Edgebrook establishment. They are re-
building one of their hoiipes at the citv
place for growing chrysanthemums.
Louis Witt bold has been at Wheeling,
111., for several days this we^'k.

Louis Winterson and Miss Steen are to
be married Jure 29. The groom is a
member of the E. F. Winterson Company

and is already receiving many congratula-
tions.

Henry Klehm has returned from a two
weeks' stay in Iowa, where his firm,
Klehms' Nurseries, are doing a large
amount of landscape work this season.

J. G. Steinfield's place at Forty-third
and Drexel boulevard, is closed and the
landlord has attached the fixtures to se-
cure $180 arrearages for rent.

John Muir will have a very handsome,
modem place at Forty-seventh and Grand
boulevard, which will be ready for occu-
pancy in a few days.
, Anton Then is still bringing in Crim-
son Ramblers.

There is a move on foot to cause all
the wholesale houses to close at 5 p. ra.
during July and August.

This week has seen an unusual num-
ber of visitors, including Geo. A. Kuhl,
Pekin, 111. ; H. E. Larsen, Galva, 111. ; D.
B. Long, Buffalo, N. Y. ; John Morehead,
Detroit; E. C. Kranz and family, Musca-
tine, la.; Mr. Pallas, of J. W. Vestal &
Son, Little Bock, Ark.; W. H. Drake,
Kenosha, Wis. ; Harry Balsley, Detroit ;
the Hulsizer brothers, Des Moines, la.;
H. E. Philpott, Winnipeg, Manitoba.

This is commencement week in the
schools but it doesn't help the dress-
makers or the florists. Superintendent
Cooley has decreed that "simple muslin
frocks" are to be worn and no flowers
or other gifts allowed. The daily papers
give some space to Mr. Cooley 's auto-
cratic rulings, several "poems" on the
situation having been published, but, un-
fortunately, sentiment seems to be with
him in this case and a pretty strong ef-
fort win be required to restore the for-
mer custom during Mr. Cooley 's term.

The death of Charles Netchert, pro-
prietor of the Boston Store, and his
funeral on Wednesday made a consid-
erable call for funeral work, of which
the south side retailers had the bulk.

Charles Klehm says that their cold
storage peonies are reduced to about
2,000 dozen and he expects to clean up
in good shape by the middle of next
week.

C. M. Dickinson is attending the ses-
sions of the republican national conven-
tion and officiating as an assistant ser-
geant-at-arms.

E. E. Pieser says Monday's business
was like a small Christmas, but that the
demand has fallen away since then.

The republican national convention has
filled the city with strangers and it is
booming certain lines of business at a
great rate, but is not affecting the flor-
ists' trade to any appreciable extent.
Hauswirtb, in the Auditorium, gets a lit-
tle extra and so do others on Michigan
avenue, but in general the ' ' big guns ' '
are too busy with politics to have any
time for social affairs.

NEW YORK.

The Market

The market remains in a condition of
inactivity. The temperature approaches
100 degrees again and while the supply
is not excessive it is far in advance of
present requirements. The quality of the
rose stock is unsatisfactory, mildew be-
ing much in evidence. Little improvement
is looked for before the end of August.
Lecakes & Co. have completed the work
of placing 10,000,000 of galax leaves in
cold storage. Their lilies from their owji
pond in Connecticut are in demand.

The Slocum Disaster.

No greater catastrophe has ever oc-
curred in New York than the burning of
the General Slocum and no tragedy has
ever been less excusable. Over a thou-
sand lives have been sacrificed. Whole
families have been swept out of exist-
ence, dozens of survivors are insane and
gloom covers the city. The only florist
who has suffered the loss of loved onee is
August Schmidt, of Aveoue B, whose
mother, wife and baby are among the
missing. He has the universal sympathy
of the trade in his bereavement.

Qob Outing.

The New York Florists' Club has
made every preparation for its excursion
on Wednesday, June 29, and as the boat
engaged is absolutely safe and special
precautions as to safety will be made,
it is hoped none who had arranged to at-
tend will be absent. Everything prom-
ises a large attendance and the commit-

tees have worked hard to provide all the
requirements for a happy reunion. The
Isabel will leave the dock at East Thirty-
first street at 9:45 on Wednesday morn-
ing. If any have not secured tickets the
treasurer, Charles Schenck, of 44 West
Twenty-ninth street, should be at once
notified so that ample arrangements
may be completed for the dinner at the
grove. Those who desire to compete for
the various prizes are requested to give
their names and addresses to President
Traendly, as the number of contests
provided for will make system a neces-
sity if they are completed. The list of
contests and the prizes offered, with the
names of the generous donors, are given
fully in the souvenir program.

William V. Cleary, of Cleary's Horti-
cultural Hall, Vesey street, has offered a
special prize for a special event at the
outing, a $35 suit of clothes for grow-
ers only in a unique race wherein fifty
flower pots are used, each having hidden
numbers from 1 to 50. The winner is
the man whose pots aggregate the larg-
•est amount when the total of the num-
bers is found. It is a race in the dark.
The pots are placed twenty-five yards
from the starting point and only one

can be carried at a time. Every grower
with grit and ability to run will strive
for the new suit and John Scott, Louis
Schmutz and David Mellis are among the
entries to date. This will be one of tho
most interesting events of the day.

Various Notes.

J. K. Allen and wife leave on Wednes-
day of this week, via the steamer Ma-
jestic, for a trip to Europe. This is
the first visit of the veteran wholesaler
to the old country and he well deserves
it. Mr. and Mrs. Allen will return about
September 1, after visiting England,
Scotland, Ireland and France. He has
the Kew Gardens, Covent Garden mar-
ket, Windsor Castle and King Edward on
his list and Killarney • and the blarney
stone for side trips before he returns.
His visit is largely in behalf of the new
library to be erected at his home town,
Kearney, N. J,, and his appointment as
commissioner and ofScial inspector on tbo
continent is an honor of which he has
good reason to be proud. The business
will be in competent hands during his
absence.

Joseph Fenrick will open a wholeeale
cut flower store at 48 West Thirtieth

street, next door to James McManus, on
July 1. Mr. Fenrick has been in the em-
ploy of Ford Bros, for many years and
has an excellent reputation.

Elliotts ' palm sale on Tuesday brought
out a large attendance and prices realized
were very satisfactory. Next Friday
will likely close the auction business for
the season.

The veteran Charles K Allen is enjoy-
ing the St. Louis exposition. Mr. Waiter
has returned with glowing deecription*
of its beauty and grandeur. The major-
ity of eastern florists will, however, wait
for the convention. The Baltimore &
Ohio railroad seems to please all who con-
template the trip and a large and happy
party of, it is hoped, close to 100 will
make the journey from this center.
Many ladies will attend from New York.

S. B. Wertheimer, of Lion & Werth-
eimer, has returned from his western
trip and visit to the fair at St. Louis.
He speaks very highly of the efforts be-
ing made by Brother Beneke and his
staff of faithful lieutenants towards
making the S. A. F. convention a great
success.

John P. Cleary celebrated his thirty-
first birthday on Monday of this week. ,

George M. Geraghty, once of Denver,
and lately with Thomas Young, Jr., will
summer at Rockaway Beach.

James Carroll, of Thorley's, will sum-
mer as usual at Atlantic Highlands.

James Eraser, of Morristown, N. J.,
superintendent of Cedar Court and th©
father of gardeners, was in the city
Monday. Tuesday, the longest day of
the year, he celebrated his "steenth"
birthday.

Charles Millang has returned from a
business and pleasure visit to Buffalo. He
speaks highly of ithe Buffalonian's hos-
pitality, especially of "Billy" Kasting.
Mr. Millang is handling a large stock of
lilies and Brunners.

Mr. and Mrs. A. Guttman and family
will spend the summer at Woodclift Inn,
Freeport, L. I.

FROM OUR ENGLISH EXCHANGES.

The Gardeners* Chronicle.

Under glass, nature is only of partial
help, it is mostly art that does it; and
there seems to be a growing notion that
this art is not suflSciently paid for.

Lysichitum camtschatcense, which
is native to northern California, has
been grown at Kew for a number of
years. In a boggy portion of the rock
garden it has barely held its own but
a plant in a moist position in the Him-
alayan house flowered this year for its
second time.

Rhododendron racemosum is one of
the most beautiful of all the rhododen-
drons, the largest plants at Kew being
about two feet high, of loose spreading
habit, and densely covered with a mass
of bright pink flowers, each of which
was about an inch in diameter, and
sweetly scented. No doubt the plants

will attain to much larger dimensions.
The flowers not only terminate the ends
of the branches, but are also disposed
in dense clusters in the axils of most of
the leaves of the previous year's growth,
thus forming long, dense racemes of
flowers. Seeds are produced in abun-
dance, and these furnish a ready means
of propagation. The seedlings usually
flower freely when about three years olfl.

SOLIDAGO Shokti is 80 good and flow-
ers so freely that one feels inclined to
include it among the best twenty "back
row" border plants. It is a vigorous
species, growing six feet high and bear-
ing spiraea-like, plumy inflorescences of
a soft yellow color. The lateral branches
of this inflorescence are nearjy two feet
long, and so vigorous is it that one may
cut a huge sheaf of flowers from one
plant.

Caroline Testout is said to be one
of the best varieties of roses for culture
in the vicinity of smoky towns.

The obwnaey " mealy bug, which is
very abundant and injurious, is destroyed
in its adult stage by a single fumiga-
tion with hydrocyanic acid gas, but to
be absolutely free from this pest it is
well to repeat the operation every ten
days, so as to destroy newly hatched in-
sects.

It is interesting to recall that on May
20, 1804. seeds of dahlias were receiveil
in London from which plants were

raised and flowered the same year, and
that ever since the dahlia has been un-
interruptedly cultivated in British gar-
dens.

Supposing that some readers may be
unaware of the behavior of Incarvillea
Delavayi after it has flowered abun-
dantly in any one year, it may be well
to observe that a large number of the
plants 80 flowering fail to grow in the
next year. Cases have occurred in the
writer's experience. In one instance, all
the plants that flowered one season re-
mained dormant the whole of the next
year, and the gardener concluded they
were dead. I informed him in all prob-
ability the plants would restart the next
year, and so it turned out.

Painesville, O. — John Brick has gone
to Aurora, 111., to enter the employ of
the Aurora Nursery Co.

The eighteenth annual convention of
the American Association of Cemetery
Superintendents will be held at Chicago
August 23 to 25.

The "Wisconsin State Horticultural So-
ciety will hold its annual summer meeting
at Lake Geneva June 29 and 30. There
will be an exhibition of strawberries and
flowers.

Chase Bros., of Huntsville, Ala., are
getting their new nursery near Mercury
in first-class shape. They have built a
road which will permit heavy teaming
out of the property in bad weather.

Following the convention at Atlanta
this week the nurserymen will visit the
famous Georgia peach orchards, includ-
ing those of Hale, the Berckmans Co.
and others, traveling on a special train.

At the meeting held at New Haven,
Conn., last week the New England Asso-
ciation of Park Superintendents voted to
change its name to American Association
of Park Superintendents. Officers elected
were: President, W. S. Egerton, Al-
bany; secretary, John W. Duncan, Bos-
ton ; treasurer, J. H. Hemingway, Worces-
ter, and several vice-presidents.

In writing a friend, C. S. Sargent, of
Arnold Arboretum, Boston, said: "We
had the most disastrous winter that I
can remember. Deciduous-leaved shrubs
and trees seem to have suffered more
than evergreens this time, although prac-
tically every rhododendron bud in this
part of the world is killed or injured;
azaleas, on the other hand, being all
right. We have lost many shrubs which
have been growing for twenty years at
least, and have never suffered before. It
will take a long time to get over the
effects of such a winter."

LILACS NOT FLOWERING.

W^ill you please tell me through tho
valued columns of your paper the reason
why a purple lilac bush five years old
does not bloom f It was a rooted sprout
from a large tree that blooms profusely
every year. It is in a shaded position
in our front yard, but the old tree is in
the shade just as much with the same soil,
etc. The tree seems to be' thrifty and
healthy. Have seen trees all over town
younger and smaller than this one bloom-
ing. A. C. T.

The fact that our correspondept 's lilac
grows well but fails to bloom is conclu-
sive proof that the shady location is the
cause of this. Probably if left until it
reached a considerable size it would
bloom to some extent, but never so well
as in an open sunny spot. Lilacs to
flower well must be grown away from all

The Market.

Business continues very satisfactory,
with a steady demand and adequate sup-
ply. The moderate weather has helped
greatly in sustaining the value of stock
and also the quality. Some extra fancy
carnations are still to be had and they
find a ready market. While the majority
of roses are now very small, still there
are some that may be rated as very good.
Peonies are fast becoming a thing of tha
past. Last week great quantities of
them were sold and the demand at pres-
ent is greater than the supply. A few
gladioli are to be had and sell fairly
well. Some very fine sweet peas are com-
ing in from local growers and they are
very good property. Lilies of all kin^ls
are scarce and, as usual, there is a good
demand for them. There have been plentv
of candidums but now they are about
over. Eastern fancy ferns are in and sell
well. Other greens are equal to the de-
mand.

Variotis ^otes.

The comnuttee in charge of the social
meeting of the Florists' Society to be
held Thursday evening, June 23, has
everything in readiness. The election of
oflScers will take place, followed by their
installation. There will be cigars,
liquid comforts and sandwiches for the
men, and ice cream, cake and lemonade
for the ladies. All club members an-l
the ladies are invited to be present.

The florists' outing committee has de-
cided to hold our annual outing at Coney
Island on July 21. At present their plans
are scarcely matured but there will be
the usual bowling contests, also ball
games, besides any number of other
amusements that are on the grounds. The
committee is making especial effort and
a great time is looked for this year.

Yet another wholesale house is to soon
bud out in our midst. This time C. E.
Critchell, late of the Atlanta Floral Co.,
but whose home is in this city, is the
man behind the enterprise. He will open
within the week at 36 East Third street.
The large size of the wholesale business
in this city is at last being realized and
we can scarcely do more than to wel-
come the late arrivals to share the vast
profits that have been made in the whole-
sale business since a wholesale house was
first started in this city some eighteen
years ago.

All the wholesale houses of importance
have made an agreement to close their
stores at 5 p. m. beginning July 1, till
further notice. This will not interfere

Reports from the Pacific coast show
sweet peas suffering and a very short
crop in prospect.

J, M. Thorburn & Co., New York,
report the season's business as about
normal with them.

Gradus peas in sacks of one and a
half bushels in the pod brought $2.50 on
the Chicago market June 21.

Beans are going into dry ground at
many of the southern Michigan points.
It is feared that this may cause a poor
stand.

Sweet com has had a better chance
during the past week, owing to the few
warm days, and the outlook for a crop
is better.

Reports just at hand from Canada
show the growing pea crops there to bo
progressing very favorably, with the
weather fine.

Up to date there are no reports Bhow-
ing that cucumber is not doing well; on
the contrary, everything seems to be fa-
vorable so far.

Pea crops are suflSciently advanced in
many sections to need inspection, and
within the next ten days growers will
have their men out for this purpose.

Many of the canners are short on to-
mato plants. There has been consider-
able effort put forth by them the past
week to secure good, stocky plants with-
out much response.

Some of the onion set fields in the
vicinity of Chicago would make good
pictures at present. The warm weather
is pushing the crop along and much ac-
tivity in weeding and cultivating is no-
ticed.

Dry weather is reported from all the
sections where onion sets are growing and
it is thought that a short crop will be
the result. Chicago sections are suffer-
ing more than any from lack of rain at
present.

The a. a. Berry Seed Co., Clarinda,
la., reports a very successful season and
far beyond its expectations. They are
greatly increasing their growing depart-
ment this spring, especially in the line
of sweet corn and vine seeds, of which
they are heavy producers. They had a
surplus after filling contract orders in
full this spring and were able to fur-
nish ^ quantities to pickle factories and
canning concerns. This firm is only seven
years old.

Aechibald Smith, for many years
manager for Joseph Breck & Sons,
Boston, has sailed for England,
having bought the Prince seed busi-
ness at Oxford, which he will hereafter
conduct. Prior to his departure the
Breck employes presented him with a gold
watch, the firm remembering him with a
suitably inscribed silver service. Mr.
Smith's father died in Scotland only a
month ago and two brothers are in the
seed business there.

The few advices so far at hand from
St. Louis are to the effect that there is
a good attendance and considerable en-
thusiasm at the convention. Election of
officers will take place Thursday, June
23.

DEATH OF a C AGNEW.

Hugh C. Agnew, of Santa Clara, Cal.,
died June 11, aged 50 years. It is
^bought that his demise was caused by
glanders contracted from a horse which
he drove. He suffered intensely before
the end. Mr. Agnew was born in Iowa
but removed to San Jose while a young
man. For some years he ^d his father
were engaged in fruit raising but about
fifteen years ago they went into seed
growing, Jesse Agnew becoming a mem-
ber of the firm. The business has pros-
pered steadily and they now have many
hundreds of acres in seed crops in the
Santa Clara valley and in Contra Costa
county. Mr Agnew was highly respected,
both in the seed trade and in his own
community. The remains were cremated
at San Francisco June 13. A widow sur-
vives.

VITALITY AND GERMINATION.

Of the few things which the United
States Department of Agriculture has
done for the assistance of the seed trade
Bulletin No. 58, on the Vitality and Ger-
mination of Seeds, is one of the most
important. It is a technical paper by
J. W. T. Duvel, published as a pamphlet
of ninety-six pages, largely devoted to
tabular and other details of experiments
to test loss of vitality under different sys-
tems of storing and shipping seeds. The
preface says:

Because of variation In the amount and qual-
ity of each year's crop It Is frequently neces-
sary for seedsmen to carry over large quantities
of seeds from one year to another. Such seeds
often lose their ability to germinate, and either
are a loss to the seedsman or, if they are mar-
keted, cause still more serious losses to those
who plant them. Since 1S99 Mr. Duvel has
been engaged in a general investigation of
the causes affecting the vitality of seeds, with
special reference to the conditions under which
they are stored commercially. This investiga-
tion was begun in 1899 under the Dexter M.
Ferry Botanical Fellowship at the University
of Michigan, and since September 1, 1902. it
has been continued by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture.

The general method pursued has been to
store seeds experimentally under all sorts of
conditions, and afterward to ascertain the
exact percentage of germination. It Is now
possible to speak with precision of the extent

of damage caused by careless methods of stor^
age, to express in actual figures the greater
liability of seeds to loss of vitality under the
warm humid conditions existing in the South
Atlantic and Gulf States than under colder
and drier conditions, and to demonstrate the
utility of storing seeds, when they must be
kept in a humid climate, in moisture-proof
packages.

I GO to the Review, for I have learned
by experience that It is the place to go

sympathj, comfort and consolation; it
finds buyers and sellers and brings them
together; it keeps us posted in all lines
belonging to the craft, and so I like it.

DOBBS FERRY, N. Y.

The first annual June show of the
Dobbs Ferry Horticultural Association
was held in the Gasford building on
Wednesday, June 15, and proved to be
very successful, there being a very fine
display of roses, flowers from hardy
shrubs, hardy perennials, strawberries
and a wonderfully fine lot of vegetables.

Some of the winners of prizes were: J.
Knoodle, first for best collection of out-
door roses; H. Kastberg, first for best
twelve hybrid roses; Mr. Boreham, first
for vase of roses; T. A. Lee for best col-
lection of hardy perennials; H. Kastberg,
for best collection of flowers cut from

hardy shrubs; C. Wilson, for best hydran-
geas ; J. Dunbar, for best quart of straw-
berries; S. Bradley, for best collection
of vegetables, twelve varieties; J. Dun-
bar, for best collection of vegetables, six
varieties. Mr. Boreham was awarded a
certificate of merit for collection of
cauliflower and cucumbers, Mr. Boreham
was also awarded a certificate of merit
for Adiantum cuneatum.

BALTIMORE.

There is little to look forward to for
some time after this week, as commence-
ments will be over, as well as most of the
June weddings. All last week good stock
of all kinds was scarce. This week has
started off with a little better supply.
However, good roses are still scarce.
Sweet peas are now coming too freely.
Gladioli from the south are coming in
heavily and find little demand, except for
the light colors. The price ranges from
$2 to $4 per 100 spikes. Koses are go-
ing at from $2 to $4; carnations, 60
cents to $1.50 ; sweet peas, 25 cents to 50
cents per 100. Candidum lilies have
made their appearance.

The Baltimore and Washington clubs
are arranging for a joint outing at
Chesapeake Beach next month. A. F.

INDIANAPOLIS.

On June 18 John Grande, who has con-
ducted a retail business of considerable
proportions at 1822 Shelby street, sold
his business, greenhouses, dwelling and all
to Herman Shilling. The consideration
was $5,300. Mr, Shilling takes charge as
soon as the transfer can be made and
will continue the business along the lines
on which it has been conducted by Mr.
Grande. Mr. Grande has five acres of
land west of the city on which he in-
tends building a range of houses to grow
for the wholesale trade. John says he
needs the fresh country air to build up
his health again. His usual weight is
about 350, but during the strain of a
heavy season he has lost at least ten
pounds and John says it won *t do. May
his shadow never grow less. A. B.

PACIFIC COAST.

LILIES FOR CHRISTMAS.

At what time should we in British Co-
lumbia plant cold storage longiflorum
lilies and spiraeas to get them in bloom
for Christmas and January sales? Are
cold storage bulbs and roots of these
plants to be relied upon? B. C.

There is no difficulty ,in flowering
Lilium longiflorum at Christmas time in
British Columbia, providing the bulbs
are planted early in August, which is the
time the season's crop is generally at
hand. They can be planted either in
pots or boxes and placed outside until
the first of October, when they should be
brought into the house and given a tem-
perature of 60 degrees at night and about
ten degrees higher during the daytime.
No difficulty will be experienced if the
bulbs are good. This is the usual way of
forcing, but if cold storage bulbs are
used and the grower has no heating ap-
paratus in his greenhouse, the bulbs
should be planted in July in pots or deep
flats and, as these bulbs respond very
quickly to warmth and moisture, they
should be kept outside until about the first
week in September, when they should be
brought into the house. They will at this
time have attained the height of prob-
ably six inches and unless the weather is
very unfavorable there will bejio trouble
in cutting a splendid crop of flowers
during December and January.

It is only during the last few years
that growers on this coast have been able
to get cold storage bulbs, but those I
have tried have been of good quality
throughout and I have had much better
success with them than with Lilium Har-
risii. Lilium longiflorum bulbs that are
fresh imported are very slow to start and
when the bulbs are planted in August and
not forced at all it is difficult to get them
in bloom by Easter, but with cold stor-
age bulbs that have had a long rest T
have found it a very easy matter to flower
them at any time with a little bottom
heat.

SpirsRa Japonica can be handled easily,
also. Cold storage clumps should bo
planted about the middle of September
in pots and kept under the bench until
about the first of November when they
will have made plenty of roots and can
then be placed in a temperature such as
is given to lilies. They will bloom in
December and January and are easily
grown. There is no particjilar demand
for cold storage spiraeas, as it is a flower
that is usually forced for Easter trade,
in which case the fresh imported clumns
usually obtainable in November will fill
all requirements. G.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

School commencements and June wed-
dings have done considerable toward
brightening up trade during the last few
days. Funeral work is scarce and only
the south side florists seem to be gettitii;
much of it. The weather is cool again,
after several weeks of scorching sun-
shine, and it is quite a relief to both
the retailers and growers, to have thp
change. Flowers, especially indoor roses,
had begun to suffer and they had to be
kept in an ice box to have them at all
presentable. Carnations are much more

plentiful than last week and are some-
what lower in price. This is more notice-
able, however, in the cheaper grade of
flowers, as all the fancy stock, of which
there is no abundance, still holds its
price. Such varieties as Portia, Scott and
Joost can be had at $1 per hundred and
even less. Hill, Crocker, Schwerin and
Estelle wholesale at about double that
price and Lawsons that are free from
thrips easily bring $3 per hundred.
Eoses are poor, being weak-stemmed,
small-flowered and poor colored. There
is a large quantity brought in daily an<l
dumped for whatever price they will bring.
Good Beauties are selling wholesale to-
day at $1.50 per dozen; Testout, Bride
and Maid at 50 cents; Liberty and Car-
not, 75 cents per dozen. Sweet peas arc
still in their prime and are sold to the
stores at from 50 cents to 75 cents per
dozen bunches. Shirley poppies, bache-
lor's buttons, coreopsis, gaillardias, glad-
ioli and some outdoor roses fill in very
nicely. Smilax is completely out of sea-
son, but there are plenty of ferns of all
kinds except the wild maidenhair.

Various Notes.

The Kien Co., of Elmhurst, are mak-
ing preparations to erect several more
greenhouses.

Clarke Bros., of Portland, Ore., who
have their carnation growing plant in
Fruitvale, Cal., are cutting more flowers
at present than they can use and the
Oakland florists are deriving the benefit
of the surplus.

Mrs. John McLaren, wife of our su-
perintendent of parks, while on their trip
to Europe had the misfortune to slip and
break her leg on the train near Denver.
Mr. McLaren had to continue on his
journey without his better half, who will
remain in Colorado until his return.

Prof. Jepson, of Berkeley, has gone to
Sacramento to classify and label all the
plants and trees in the state collection at
the Capitol grounds.

H. M. Sanborn and son, the Oakland
florists, have returned from their trip to
Yosemite Valley.

Wm. Gauge, for many years head gar-
dener to A. K. P. Harmon, of Oakland,
is at present laying out the grounds of
the Oakland Golf Club. These links are
on the site formerly called Rockridsre
park, and will be the finest on the Pacific
Coast.

W. W. Saunders, the well known bulb
grower, now located in Fresno, is in
town. G.

FROM OUR ENGLISH EXCHANGES.

The Gardeners' Magazine*

Some tears since we directed attention
to the enormous difference in the produce
of non-seeding plants of garden asparn-
gus and those which produce heavy crops
of seeds. Also to the necessity for giv-
ing the seedlings time to show whether
they will seed or not before using thera
in the formation of beds. The 8ucco<?=
achieved by the French growers in the
production of large growths is usually
attributed to their skill in the prepara-
tion of the beds, and in the subsequent
use of manures; but there can be no
doubt that the results they obtain are
largely due to the selection of non-
peeding plants for the beds.

The only way to obtain the full
wealth of flowers the lilacs are so well
able to yield is to keep them to single
stems, and, if the stem rises to a height
of three or four feet before dividing, it

will be a distinct advantage. The sug-
gestion here made is applicable to all
varieties, but applies with double force to
those of recent introduction, which for
the most part are grafted on the older
forms, and consequently will soon be re-
placed by the growth from the stock un-
less that is kept in subjection.

No OBSERVANT gardener is likely to
gainsay the fact that both great successes
and great failures often follow the care,
or otherwise, of supposed trifles. What are
sometimes imagined to be little matters,
whether we have control or not over them,
frequently make all the difference be-
tween these extremes, and, consequently,
there often is only a very narrow mar-
gin between the two at the beginning.

ROSE NIGHT AT ORANGE.

A deferred meeting of the New Jersov
Ploricultural Society was held at the so
■ciety's rooms in Orange, N. J., on Juno
17. The postponement was caused by a
<lesire to enjoy a special rose night. The
tables >yere filled with the product of the
-estates in this neighborhood, chief among
which were seven vas6s exhibited bv
John Crosby Brown, from the hand of
Peter Duflf, a separate stand be-
ing thought worthy of a vase
of Baroness Eothschild of fine
form. A large vasd of a variety of
blooms exhibited by William Eunkl,?,
raised by Dietrick Kindsgrab, not for
<;ompetition, received the society's first-
class certificate. The interest of the
evening, however, centered in twentv-
seveh named varieties exhibited in the
amateur section by a lady, one of A. D
Eose's clientele, efitered in the name of
her brother, C. H. Wilmer, of Montclair.
It received a first-class certificate.

Other plants And flowers shown in-
chided a superb Cattleya gigas, remark-
able for size anfl number of blooms and
compact form, due probably to its havins
been grown nedr the glass. It was from
William Barr and grown by Arthur Bod-
T^ell; a vase 6f white peonies of extra-
ordinary size from Peter Duff; a seedlins
-poppy closely resembling orientalis from
A. a Jenkins, of Uewellyn Park, grown

fl T^\J'''' ^"*^«°' several vases
trom O. D. Munn, grown by John Hayes;
sweet William from A. C. Van Gaasbeck,
grown by William Bennett. In pots were
several Nephrolepis Piersoni from Peter
Duff, a specimen Phyllotaenium Lindeni
from William Runkle, and a large array
of fruits and vegetables.

The judges of the evening were John
I.. Collins, John Hayes and Joseoh B Da-
vis One new member was placed in noni-
^°**'«°- J. B. Davis.

The progressive, keen and discerning
florist will this year buy of this
standard introduction that is freely

Conceded to be the best of all Adiantums.

' A GREAT ACQUISITION.

The best of all ferns for cut fronds. BrlnKS the hlfhest prices.
The eaeiest to grrow and the easiest to sell. Has received the high-
est encomiums from the leading- cut flower dealers in the country.

ADIANTDM CROWEANUIHC originated at Utlca. N.Y.. about
fourteen years ago, and has been extensively grown by the original
owner, Mr. Crowe, who has received phenomenal prices for the cut
fronds in the New York and other markets, and has created a great
demand for It. Bay now. Buy liberally and reap the benefits.

The fronds are long:, elegantly proportioned and of a texture
that renders It the best keeper and shipper of all Adiantums. It Is
a very free and continuous grower, requires no rest and responds
readily to fertilizers. Anyone can grow It and get good money for it.

INTRUDUCBR'8 DESCRIPTION. Free grower, the dark-
est green of the Adlantum family and longest stemmed. It has also
the most graceful foliage; tlie average length of the fronds meas-
uring 80 inches. It is by far the best keeper. Cut fronds can be kept
fresh several weeks in a cool place. It is also one of the best ferns
for a dwelling house. I have given presents of this fern to several
Utlca friends, and from my own observation note it grows better
than the Boston fern. I gave up rose cultivation some ten months
ago In order to devote all my attention to fern cultivation for cut
fronds. I find from the same amount of bench room this fern pays
me 11 60 to every 11.00 obUlned from roses. PETBE CEOWE.

MANY STRONG ENDORSEMENTS GIVEN IN OIR CIRCULAR
or TESTIMONIALS. FREE ON REQUEST.

WUl be ready to ship, July 1. 1904. out of 3-inch pots, strong

TORONTO.

The Market.

Trade during June is not considered
to be up to former years. This may be
more noticeable on account of the heavv
supply of all kinds of flowers. Roses
and carnations have been especially plen-
tiful and good carnations have been
quoted during the week at $5 per thou-
sand. However, at present writing the
demand seems to be a little better, the
supply decreasing somewhat. The out-
look for the balance of the month is
better than the forepart of it. Peonies
are with us in quantity and are brin<^-
ing good prices. The demand for this
flower seems to be increasing every year
and in the short season that it runs a
great quantity of them are handled.

Various Notes.

J. S. Simmons has just finished reno-
vating his store and has certainly added
very materially to the appearance by the
addition of several very large mirrors,
together with the general overhauling of
the interior. He is aiming to make up
in style and appointments what his store
lacks in location.

D. J. Sinclair has just returned from
a two weeks' trip in Muskoka lakes
where he spent the time in fishing.

D. J.

INDIANAPOLIS.

According to the Sentinel, A. Wiegand
& Sons are one of the oldest firms of the
kind in the city, the business having been
founded by Anthony Wiegand, who still
remains at its head, nearly half a cen-
tury ago. Later he admitted his two
sons to partnership, George B. and
Homer L. Wiegand. The establishment
maintained is one of the most extensive
of its kind in the state and consists of
large greenhouses, ofiices and salesrooms
at Nos. 1610 to 1620 N. Illinois street,
and gardens and hotbeds on the corner
of Thirtieth and N. Illinois streets. The
former covers fully half a square, there
being 40,000 feet of glass in the green-
houses. The gardens and hotbeds are
devoted especially to the raising of early
spring flowers, garden plants, etc. Wie-
gand & Sons enter into practically every
department of floral work. They have
built up a large and increasing business
entirely by their own able efforts and
won wide popularity by their enterprise,
courtesy and upright business methods.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

JUNB 23, 1904.

KANSAS CITY.

Floriats in Kansas City report quiet
business for the last week. Stock is
scarce ami very poor. Boses are small
and carnations no better. American
Beauties are all off crop. Out of town
shipping trade was about all we had.

Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Ellsworth and family
leave for St. Louis Monday night to be
gone about ten days or two weeks at the
Fair.

The death of Eichard Jarrett, one of
our oldest florists, occurred Saturday,
June 18, aged 62 years. He has been in
the greenhouse business here since 1870
and leaves a wife and seven children.

L. M. S.

STONEHAM, MASS.

Mrs. Hattie Frost Parker, wife of Ar-
thur S. Parker, a leading florist of this
place, died June 9, aged 38 years. Be-
sides the bereaved husband two children
are left to mourn her loss. Mrs. Parker
was active in church and charitable work
and enjoyed a 'large circle of acquaint-
ances. During her illness of several
months the esteem in which she was hekl
in the community was shown by the
many kind ministrations of neighbors and
friends, for which the bereaved husband
is deeply grateful. She was an active
member of the Unitarian Church of
Stoneham, a charter member of the Old
People's Home of that town, a member
of Helpers' Circle, Kings Daughters.
Possessed of an attractive personality,
sympathetic by nature and with a rare
faculty of making lasting friendship**,
her demise is mourned. T\ineral services
were held Sunday, June 12, Bev. William
Lloyd, of the Unitarian Church, assisted
by Bev. Fister, of Arlington, officiating.
The services were largely attended by
relatives and friends, and the floral trib-
utes were magnificent, the display being
rarely equaled at a private funeral.
Among the tokens of regard was a very
fine standing wreath from the flower
growers of Boston, Mr. Parker's busi-
ness associates.

Baltimore, Md. — ^William Halliday
recently sold the greenhouse property
which has been occupied for many yeai's,
but has now secured a new and very de-
sirable location near the Liberty road,
where a large establishment will be built
up.

Bed Bank, N. J,— The premium list
has been issued for the seventh annual
exhibition of the Monmouth County
Horticultural Society to be held here
November 1 and 2. Copies of the list
will be sent by H. A. Kettel, Fairhaven,

E. W. McLELLAN.

TO-BAK-INE Fumigating Paper

powerful insecticide known. The «aKe with which it is used and the fact that it does not injure any
flower or plant strongly recommends it.

To-Bak>Ine Fumigatincf Paper sheets measure full 36 inches. They are longer and contain over

FROM OUR ENGLISH EXCHANGES.

The Gardeners' Magazine.

New FORMS of the more popular mar-
ket ferns are brought forward from time
to time but really new forms of other
ferns are seldom seen. The new variety
of Lomaria ciliata, raised at Edmonton,
and exhibited as L. Mlayi, is therefore the
more interesting ; moreover, it is a beauti-
ful fern, with long, arching fronds of a
rich green color, and of a much moi'e
graceful and elegant habit than possessed
by those of the type.

I HAVE SEEN the purple cobsea used
upon a white-painted trellis against a
stono house, with most excellent effect.
Some gardeners allow cobseas to ramble
over the outsides of too sunny green-
houses, thus securing a natural shade
within, and a unique beauty without.

A VERY FINE new garden plant was
shown last season under the provisional
name of Nicotiana rosea. It has now
proved so good and grows so freely from
seed that it has been re-ehristened N.
Sanderoe. Whether of more than annual
duration we do not yet know, but the
plant can be located either as a half-
hardy or a hardy annual. It grows from
two and one-half to three and one-half
feet high, and produces a profusion of
blossoms on branching spikes ; the flowers
are like those of N. affinis in form, but
their color- varies in different plants,
from light rose to richest rose-red.

A PLANT OF Odontoglossum crispuni
Cooksonite, one old and one new bulb, re-
cently sold at auction for $3,350. It
was in a lot from N. C. Cookson, eighty-
one plants realizing over $25,000.

I AVONDER how the clever little Jap
gauges his profit on his dwarfed trees,
for, whatever the latter may be, one can-
not say much for the quickness of the
returns when one hears of a specimen
growing a matter of 300 years, and then
selling for $80, and the natural decision
arrived at is that pigmy tree growing is
not such a paying business as the pres-
ent trade in boomed potato plants.

The CULTIVATION of the cornflower is
i>f the simplest. The seed should be
sown where the plants are to bloom, and
light, open positions should as far a^
practicable be selected for the groups.
Sowings may be made at the end of
March, or early in April; but the best
n&ults are obtained from sowing at
the end of the summer. Plants raised
from seed sown at that period become
more deeply rooted, and make a more
vigorous growth than do those obtained
from spring sowings, and continue in
bloom a much longer period. The seed-
lings should be thinned moderately in
the autumn, and receive their final thin-
ning to four or five inches apart just
as new growth is commencing. Spring

raised plants will not require so much
space, as they do not grow so vigorously.
Where liberal supplies of cut flowers
arc required during the summer months
a row each of the blue aild white formB
should bo grown in the kitchen garden,
preferably from autumn-sown seed.

HEATING.

What would be the size of steam boiler
to supply 4,000 feet of 4-inch pipe iu
hot water heating? Would it be ad-
visable to use a good second-hand steam
boiler in this wayf Would the openings
necessarily have to be 4-inch? A tem-
perature of 60 degrees is needed and the
outside temperature sometimes goes 15
degrees below zero. A. A.

Good second-hand steam boilers, par-
ticularly return tubular boilers, make
first-rate hot water heaters. It is not
absolutely necessary that the opening in
the boiler be four inches in order to
supply 4-inch pipes in a heating sys-
tem but if it is not the efficiency of the
boiler is reduced in proportion to the
size of the opening, by the throttling of
the flow through the opening. It is not
expensive to have the hole in the shell
of the boiler cut out to the proper size,
four inches, in this case, and have a
flange bolted in place into which a joint
of the supply pipe can be threaded, or,
if cast iron, a short piece of wrouglit
pipe can be used to make connection .-it
the boiler and this packed into the bell
of a cast section.

To heat the 4,000 feet of 4-inch pipe
it will require a boiler with 600 square
feet of heating surface, that is, the are:i
of the tubes plus the area of the shell
exposed to the fire should aggregate 600
square feet of surface. A boiler ten feet
long, thirty inches in diameter and carry-
ing thirty-four or more 3-inch tubes will
give suflicietit heat for this length of
pipe provided the pipe is properly ar-
ranged and graded. It is impossible to
tell whether this will maintain a tem-
perature of 60 degrees in the houses with-
out knowing the size and exposure of the
houses. L. C. C.

Aurora, III, — ^Peter Freeman has
torn down one of his greenhouses pre-
paratory to building three modern houses

ing business.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

June 30, 1904.

EXPLANATORY

Establishment of Albert Fuchs.

TOT|Jp TI^AriF' Some weeks ago I announced in the various trade papers that my Establishment and Con-
I ni- I l« /%!/[-• tents would be sold at auction on June 15th and 1 6th to the hi];hest bidder. Within a few
^^^^^^^^^^^^— minutes after the time the auction was to be held, two prominent gentlemen in the trade
bought the Houses and Stock on an option of 30 days (See Chicago notes. Florists' Review, June 16tb; and American Florist,
June 18th). This option has not been taken advantage of, and as my doctors insist on my leaving the country at the earliest
possible time, the entire plant is again offered at a fixed price, and if not disposed of previous to July 7th, all except my retail
store, two houses and their contents, will positively be sold at auction and to the highest bidder on Thursday, July )4th, 10 a.
m. sharp. I take this opportunity to thank my many friends and members of the trade who were disappointed at not being
able to buy at the previous sale, and assure them that unless the entire plant is sold at private sale previous to July 7th, (in such
event this will be announced in the trade papers,) the auction will be held at time stated hereintofore and without
reservation. Very truly yours, ALBERT FUCHS, 2045 N. Halsted Street, Chicago.

"Tht finitl stock of Pilmt in tho Wiit." The consensus of opinion of many up-to-date florists who have visited our plant within the last month.

If you oannot attend the auction in person or send a representative, either myself or E. F. Winterson Co. will look after your interests.
Don't fail to send remittance to extent of 10 per cent, with your commission. Make all checks payable to Greenbaum & sons, bankers.

ORDER AT ONCE.

SURPLUS LIST FOR FALL OF 1904.

These varieties bave all bloomed on our place and are true to name and not at all mixed. The sizes given are as follows :

Small are plants of one or two stalks of this year's growth. One year since divided. Kedlnm are plants of three to Ave stalks of this
year's growth. Two years since divided. Jbarg'* are plants of six or more stalks of this year's growth. Three years since divided.

Customers wishing a few plants we refer to our illustrated retail catalogue, where full descriptions are given. Not less than ten plants
of a kind can be ordered at the prices given here.

The larger sizes can be cut for division on a basis of three good plants to each five stalks. Any peony plant is much surer to bloom and
will be 20 per cent, stronger if moved in Settember, so that new roots may foim before freezing down. This gives a great advantage to home-
grown stock over imported plants, which invariably come too late. These prices are also for larger plants than are usually sent from Europe
and are. in fact, lower than the same varieties can be bought for in Europe. Besides, we guarantee our atook tme and will replace
with three any plant which proves not true to name.

We begin shipping early in September when orders will be filled in rotation. We make no charge for packing.

We also issue a list of fifty other sorts of which we have only a few plants to offer ; sent free on request.

THE STAR AND CRESCENT.

A Piece Combining Two Styles.

The distinctive feature of tliis combi-
nation design is its two styles of finish.
The star is plain, made solid with the
carnations. The crescent admits of a
much looser arrangement without des-
troying its outline. If you can have the
frame for the two pieces made together
it will be much easier to handle. The
star measures between any two opposite
points about one-half the distance be-
tween the points of the crescent. The
star should be well set up on the easel,
the point of the easel striking it about
the center of the back.

First of all, bronze the easel and the
cross piece which supports the star. Then
it may be trimmed, or partially trimmed
after your own fancy. When such wires
are not bronzed they must be wrapped
or covered with green, and this becomes
rather monotonous when it i? done on
every piece, besides making a confusion
of straight lines. This latter should
always be avoided in design. After fill-
ing in the entire piece with sphagnum,
lining with ferns, and wrapping as in
other pieces before described, cover the
sphagnum filling of the crescent with a
solid green background of ferns and se-
cure them in place by wrapping with
No. 36 wire. Next proceed with fillinj^
the star.

Filling the Star.

White carnations stemmed on three-
quarter picks, as was done for the pil-
low and broken column, compose the en-
tire filling of the star. Cover the top
and edges solid, making a smooth, plain
surface. In such a place as this mechan-
ical skill counts for everything. There
is to be no trimming of any kind in this
part of the piece. It is the positive, piv-
otal center of design, Mhile the crescent
and its trimmings constitute the loose
rays and variations of light and color.

Filling the Crescent.

While putting on the green back-
ground of the crescent, point the ends
each with the tip of a fern leaf, as is
plainly seen on the right point. The
edge of the crescent is liere covered witli
smilax. Stem a medium-sized string on
a whole or three-quarter pick. Insert
one of the stemmed ends near the top
point of the inside edge. Follow tho
edge of the design upwards and around
the point down the outside edge as far
as the length of the smilax will permit.
Stretch the smilax tight. Stem tho other
end and attach it to the piece. Start
another string at this point and continue
until the whole edge, inside and out, is
covered. Be careful to bury the stub
end of the pick well out of sight in the
sphagnum. The sight of one toothpick
is enough to spoil the appearance of a
fine piece.

The filling of this crescent is of
Bridesmaid roses. Dutch hyacinths of
the same color, freesias, ferns and caii-

didum lilies. The Dutch hyacinths se-
lected for this purpose are the loosely
flowered spikes. Most of them are dou-
ble, where the flowers are few on a stalk.
Cut the stems off close to the lower
flower and insert whole picks from the
bottom about half the length of the
picks up the inside of the stem and wrap
with No. 36 wire. If the stems are too
soft and thick to use in this way, make
a passage for each one into the sphagnum
and re-pack the moss around it. Tie
down across the frame with No. 36 wire
somewhere near the tip in between the
flowers.

Stem the roses just below the decisive
point of the stem, and if too long to
keep their places after being inserted
in the sphagnum, tie down as with the
hyacinths. Considerable rose foliage
should be stemmed with the flowers. The
roses should not be monotonously set in,

cover the background space, because th»
background is already laid in witU green.

The candidum lilies should be steiiuiie«i
in the same way as the hyacinths, and
the freesias like the roses, as also az»
the ferns used in the group with the ean-
didums, on the upper edge of the cres-
cent against the easel. Observe that the
five fern leaves appear to spring from
the same point, like the growing plant.

The last of the trimmings is the dove
bearing the rose. Wire the feet securely
on the cross wire and adjust as sbowa
in the illustration. Gertrude Blaou

THE BEDDING PLANT TRADE^

May 20 nearly everyone was conaider-
ably behind the average season '» salesy.
but by Decoration day nearly all were
fully up to last year's record^ so great
was the rush in the last ten dajs of
May. The bedding plant trade is practi-
cally finished at Decoration day in most
localities in normal seasons but this
year it extended well into June and even
as late as the present date there ia still
something doing in this line, so that tho
result has been, with few exceptions the
best season on record, and in manr
localities far ahead of the ordinary spring

sive winter in years, the outcome has been

the centir of the piece begin to point
toward each end of the crescent, with a
few flowers here and there breaking the
line, and seeming to fall out of place.
These should be securely wired by wrap-

I have tried to make it possible here
to single out the individual flowers in

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

June 30, 1904.

Deeoratiou day, while supplies have been
larger since, as the stock came into
Uoom. One of the items in short supply
and scarce ever since the trade got
fairly under way, was English ivy. Thin
is largely used in filling window boxes
-and lawn vases and every year larger
-quantities are required for coverinfj
.graves in cemeteries. Vincas, too, were
sold out early. Alternanthera has been in

demand and echeveria, but largely for
cemetery use, the carpet bedding which
formerly consumed such quantities of
these plants having fallen into disuse.
Practically everything is now sold out
cleaner than for several years, and the
production was larger than ever. On the
whole the plantsmen are to be congratu-
lated on the splendid outcome of a sea-
son which had an inauspicious start.

Mignonette. m^!^

About the middle of July is a good
time to sow mignonette. I am not go-
ing to recommend any particular va-
riety. All are good when well grown,
and most growers select their plants and
save their own seeds. Allen's Defiance,
when true, is an excellent variety for
winter use. A solid bed has the advant-
age that it keeps the plants fresh and
growing till late in the spring, but if
the crop is to be thrown out by April 1
to make room for bedding plants, then a
raised bench with five inches of soil
will give excellent results. If your bed
or bench is all ready you can sow the
seeds where they are to remain. If
that is not convenient, then sow three
little groups of seeds in 3-inch pots.
Yoa can afterwards divide into sections
without the soil leaving the roots.
Mignonette does not at all like the trans-
planting process. A foot apart is plenty
«Iaae enough if you want fine spikes. It
is well to have two or three little plants
till they are an inch or two high, for
the green worm may want some of them.
This green worm is so exactly the color of
the leaves that they are not easily de-
tected till you see the depredations. After
a spraying, dust on some hellebore and
that will settle the worm.

Pansies.

We have become very well acquainted 1
of late with a large pansy grower who
has not a foot of glass and yet in or-
dinary seasons can ship by the middle
ot April many thousands of splendid
pansies, each plant with two or three flow-
ers. He sows about the middle of July.
The seed beds, of finely prepared, light
soil, are in the broad sun. The seed is
sown in very shallow drills and the sur-
face of the bed is never allowed to be-
come dry or in the slightest degree baked.
A cloudy day they may only want water-
ing twice; on a sunny, windy day they
may want watering ten times, and they got
it. After the little plants are well up.
watering is only necessary to keep them
growing.

This is not the only way to raise pan-
faeBf but it has one advantage, that th?
plants are not drawn up weak, whieii
they often are if sown iu the shade.
Sowing so early enables you to have a
strong flowering plant before winter
sets in and, if not much hurt by win-
ter's frost, you have an early bloom-
ing plant, just what is wantetl for the
spring garden or for vase filling. Some
growers lay rye straw between the plants
just before freezing up begins, but I
shall never believe that anything is so

good for winter protection as hemlock
boughs, where they are available. There
is a bow to these branches and if laid
with the bow up, the branches do not
lie heavily on the plants.

This old gentleman, whose method we
have been watching, does not cover at
all and with the exception of such a ter-
ror as last winter loses but a small frac-
tion of the plants. Now the above is a
good plan to raise early pansies, for
which we have most use, yet pansies
make a pretty show the entire summer if
kept watered and the withered flowers
picked off, and for this purpose there is
nothing like the plants from seed sown
in early February in the greenhouse.
They may be small at planting time, but
they last, while these older and larger
plants soon become exhausted.

Lily of the Valley.

We grew a few hundred lily of the
valley every week last summer till the
new crop came in. Very large growers
have their own cold storage houses, where
the roots can be kept at a proper tem-
perature, but we have never found our
local cold storage houses to do this faith-
fully and have lost a good many roots
by their being kept too cold. About 28
to 30 degrees is, I believe, the correct
temperature. So we got these few hun-
dred weekly from a New York import-
ing house and they were fine and profit-
able. Five inches of sand in any house
where the glass is well shaded is all
that is wanted to flower these retarde.J
roots, except one important point; don't
let any draught strike them or they will
quickly wilt and be ruined.

Lancifolium Lilies.

Lilium lancifolium will soon be giv-
ing us bloom and very beautiful and
sweet they are, album and rubrum es-
pecially, and no one can object to the
odor. There is good excuse for people
kicking at the use of the gorgeous
auratum. Wonderful fl«we» that it is,
either outside, in the border or in the
conser\atory, it is overpowering in a
room and about as much out of place in
a design as an old fashioned sunflower
would be. The lancifolium lilies may grow
and flower in the broad sun in bright,
fighting Japan, but grown here in potri
they like neither our high summer tem-
perature nor bright sun. Keep them in
a shaded, cool house and the flowers will
be larger and better in every way.

Put on the Paint.

Most roses are planted, it is a few
weeks early for carnations and yet there

18 no ra^t for the florist. If you have
no benches to build, you have houses
to paint, either inside or out, or both,
and no-4itoori and expense can be better
laid out thanVon a coat of paint. It is
a warm job under the glass just now but
with a large piece of canvas over rho
glass, and moved along as you progress,
it is quite endurable. The benefits of a
coat of paint to the interior of a house
are many. Not the least is the satisfac-
tion and thrill of pleasure you get
every time you enter the bright, clean
house. You get a light house, which is
of the greatest benefit to the plants, and
you have destroyed countless eggs and
spores of your enemies. You have
helped to preserve the i^ood. In fact,
you have done a mighty good job and
one that you will be thankful for and
proud of when finished, and it is not
such a great effort after all. We do
absolutely necessary labor of ten times
the volume with the greatest cheerful-
ness and perspiration, but shy at paint-
ing because you can "get along another
season without it." Last year we bought
of Benjamin Hammond a barrel of his
prepared white paint for greenhouses
and found it superior to any lead and
linseed oil we could buy and mix our-
selves. It left a fine, shiny gloss on
the bars. Money laid out in paint is a
good investment.

William Scott.

ADL«lNTUM.

I wish some of the wise ones would
tell us how to grow maidenhair ferns
successfully. Mr, Scott's remark that
* * of all greens it is the queen and there
is no king" caused me to lay in a sup-
ply, but my plants do not at the present
writing emphasize the compliment.

E. T,

The best method of growing -maiden-
hair ferns for cutting is to plant them
out on a bench, the usual practice being
as follows:

Fill a bench with four to six inches
of good soil preferably composed of rot-
ten sod or top soil mixed with one-sixth
to one-fifth of dry cow manure, the ma-
nure being broken up well among th»}
soil. Then take healthy young adian-
tums from 3-inch pots, or 4-inch if you
have them, and plant in the bed about
fifteen inches apart, being careful not
to bury the crowns of the plants too
deeply. Plant firmly and then give .n
good watering to settle the soil, but do
not water the ferns too frequently before
they get well started into growth, for
when the soil gets soured the ferns never
make a good start.

Shade the glass moderately with white-
wash or some other preparation that will
come off in the fall, for while shading
is required now, the growth will be tor
soft for cutting if grown with too little
light in the fall and winter. Ventilate
freely both day and night during warm
weather, but avoid strong draughts on
the plants, and give a little fire heat
when the nights grow cold enough to re-
quire fire in a rose house, the object be-
ing to maintain a temperature of 60 to
62 degrees in the fern house at night,
with fresh air in abundance and a reas-
onably moist atmosphere.

If planted now the adiantums should
produce fronds in abundance for winter
use. but will require watching in case
the house in wliich they are planted is
infested with snails, these pests having
a great liking for the young fronds.

June 30, 1904.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

251

Some pulverized camphor sprinkled about
among the plants will discourage tho
snails, or they may be trapped at night
by the use of cabbage or lettuce leaves
or pieces of various vegetables.

A bed of adiantum that is properly,
cared for will continue to produce pay-
ing crops of fronds for two seasons,
after which it is best to replant, the best
results being had from young plants, in
preference to dividing up the old cro^^us.
When grown for the second year the
plants will need a careful trimming out
and cleaning through in order to remove
all dead fronds and rubbish, after which
the surface of the soil may be stirred
up gently and a top dressing of new soil
given, the latter having a slightly greater
proportion of manure than the original
compost. But at all times be careful
not to use fresh manure about the ferns,
there being the possibility of injury to
the plants from ammonia in such a case.

MEALY BUG.

We have a new (to us) kind of a pest
and would like to know what it is and
what to do with it. It is worst on the
coleus and came where there were mealy
bugs. The mealy bugs are nearly gone,
but the new pest is on the increase. When
it is small it is about as large as a
small common pin head and is dark in
the center, edged with white as it grows
older. The back end grows longer till
it looks like white wings about three-
sixteenths of an inch long, but it does
not fly. We never saw it until this year
and we have shown it to some florists
and they never saw it before.

M. G.

We believe that the insect that has
fmcceeded the mealy bug on your coleus
is nothing more than the same thing in
a slightly diflferent form. The female of
this insect is wingless and dies after
fulfilling its chief function of life, lay-
ing a crop of eggs. The male has wings,
is smaller than the female and has less
of the cottony covering, he is also not
so round in form as the female. It is
pretty certain that you have nothing
but the mealy bug and if you keep the
coleus you will soon have another crop
of the genuine.

On all such cheap plants as coleus
it will never pay to attempt to clean the
plants; burn them and start with a new,
clean lot in the fall. On valuable
plants, such as palms and dracaeuas,
there are numerous remedies recom-
mended. Washing with soft soap and
nicotine is a very old remedy. Gishurst
Compound is excellent used in the same
way. Washing or even syringing with
kerosene emulsion is practiced with suc-
cess by some growers. All these reme-
dies will effectually clean the individual
plant, but it will not clean the hou^'^.
It is asserted by high authority that
hydrocyanic acid gas will kill the full-
grown mealy bug and if this is per-
sistently used every two weeks for a
few months it will clean your house of
mealy bug, red spider, thrips, all kinds
of aphides and everything else that
breathes through the mouth, and minute
as is the red spider, it has a mouth
and probosis and breathes. There is
really little excuse for mealy bug on
palms, draca?na8 and cycads or any plants
that will enjoy a strong force of plain,
cold water, for that will keen them
down. W. S.

Pink Peony, Modele de Perfection.

ASPARAGUS FOR SEED.

Please tell us a few things about
growing Asparagus plumosus nanus for
seed. Shall I plant my stock in Iho
ground or leave the plants in large petal
What soil should they have? If in the
bench or bed how shall I renew the soil
and give them fertilizer, and when? Is
it the old growth or the new which bears
the best seed? Do they need thinning;
or spraying? What temperature is re-
quired in winter when the vines are full
of seed? S. B. B.

Whether the asparagus is grown for
cutting or for seed, it is the best plan
to plant it out in a deep and well pre-
pared bed of rich soil, for under such
conditions it will not be necessary tc
disturb it for several years, provided
proper care be given to its culture. A
bed of soil two feet deep, and having
a layer of broken bricks or cinders in
the bottom for drainage, is not too
much for a good asparagus bed, the soil
being rotted sod or top soil with about
one-fifth of good stable manure mixeri
in it. This will probably not need more
manure during the first season, provided
the soil was of good quality to begiu
with, but after that a top dressing of
manure, or manure and soil mixed, may
be needed twice a year.

Asparagus does not begin to flower
until the plants are strong and the
growths are mature, and even then is by
no means a sure crop, for there are
sometimes only a few growths in a house
that will produce seeds. As this aspara-
gus is rather slow in its growth, there
is no need of thinning and seldom
any cause for spraying, unless the
plants are attacked by thrips or red
spider, it being understood that this
question refers to spraying with insect-
icides, and not to syringing simply with
water; the latter is a verv necessary-
part of the culture during bright
weather.

The proper night temperature for
Asparagus plumosus during the winter is
65 degrees, and to get the best results
the temperature should not vary greatly.

The depth to which the asparagtm
should be planted depends upon the siao
of the plants, the old ball being buried
to a depth of one to three or more
inches, according to whether the plants
are from 3-inch, 4-inch, or larger pots.

PEONIES.

There have been a great many peonies
introduced since Festiva maxima was dis-
tributed to the trade, but there are few
indeed which are in any way comparable
to it. Festiva maxima was offered by
Miellez in 1851, so that it has been in the
trade fifty-three years, but as an early
white it cannot be beaten. Well estab-
lished plants carry their blooms sometime*
four feet from the ground, and this year,
which was a very favorable one for the
development of the blooms, gave flowers
nine inches in diameter when fully ex-
panded. One of the accompanying illus-
trations shows a single bloom of Festiva
maxima and in the larger illustration,
showing a view in the Peterson Nursery,
Cliicago, the plantation of this variety
is easily distinguishable, although in the
extreme background in the photograph.
At this great distance it can be seen that
it holds up its head above the nearer
varieties and its profusion of bloom can
readily be seen. At the foreground in the
picture is a field of iris, one variety of
•which is particularly worthv of note. Tt
is Madame Chereau. Mr. Peterson 's six-
year-old son, Norman, is standing beside
a row of this variety. The plants were
forty inches high when photographed.
The flower is pure white, very large, with
a frilled margin all around each petal.

Although very many meritorious va-
rieties of peonies have been introduccl
in recent years and the list of sorts now

numbers literally thousands, still Queen
Victoria, or the old Whitleyi, stands
as one of the best varieties in white.
It is one of the popular sorts for the
florists, as it is an excellent keeper and
a very good shipper. It also keeps well
on the plant when used for garden work.
The tnle stock is of strong growth and
the flowers are of good size. They open
two days after Festiva maxima. The va-
riety Whitleyi was first described in Eng-
land in 1808. The name Queen Victoria
is a more modern appellation.

Modele de Perfection is a pink peony
which lias been sold for some years at the
Peterson Nursery under this name. This
is not the same variety which is sold un-
der this name in Europe. Both are pink
but the characters are quite different.
This variety, however, is worthy of its
title. It is of one shade of pink through-
out the bloom. It is one of the so-called
pineapple centered varieties. The illus-
tration shows the broad guard petals, the
center 6f the expanded bloom being very
compact. It is a free bloomer, every stalk
running up to a flower bud and on young
plants the amount of bloom is noteworthy
Mr. Peterson is of the opinion that this
variety is identical with M. Jules Elio,
a pink variety sent out by Crousse in
1888, and other experts agree with him.
At best the diflferences in growth are very
slight and might easily be accounted for
by differences in the strength of the
plants from various sources.

One of the Crousse varieties of 1880,

which has proved of exceptional merit in
this country, is Madam GeiBsler, very
large, late, clear rose color. Tbe plants
grow to about tliirty-six inches in height
and the blooms are seven inches in diame-
ter when fully developed and about five
inches deep.

The sale of plants and cut flowers has
increased wonderfully in the last few
years, the peony enjoying an era of popu-
larity heretofore unknown to this flower.
Of course large numbers of plants are
moved in the spring, but growers agree
that it is very much to be desired that
planting be done in the fall and Mr.
Peterson recommends that all planting be
done in September. He says that plants
divided and reset at that time will make
one-third more growth the next season
than if planted so late that root action
does not begin before frost. He thinks
this is a great drawback to European
importations, as most of them arrive so
late that it is impossible to get them
started well the same season and it takes
two years to find out what they really
can do.

Certain complaints about the failure of
plants to bloom satisfactorily have led Mr.
•^"Peterson to make some experiments which
have convinced him that the seed follicles
should be removed from the plants after
the bloom has passed. Do not let thorn
stay on and wither or it will cut down
the amount of bloom the following sea-
son. This has been shown by careful
tests with plants growing side by side.

PERLE DES JARDINS.

This old favorite, wliicli has been some-
what neglected during tlie past few years,
has seemingly along with its sports, Sun-
rise and Sunset, begun to find favor with
the public again. A few years ago then;
was no rose growing estahlishnient of
any note but planted at least onc-Hfth
of their rose space to this variety and
those who could do it well found it a
profitable crop. The pla<-e- where it is
now grown in any such (juantities are
very few. not l>ecause it cannot be grown
as well, although I am convinced thiit
it has deteriorated in a measure, but
because there lias Iwen little or no call
for that color during the past year or
two.

The larger growers finding Ihe mar-
ket for this color failing, gradually drop-
ped it. while some of the smaller grow-
ers still cling to it in a half hearted way
and its deterioration, if any. can be as-
cribed to neglect, both in the care and

attention given to it in propagating an.l
growing.

To grow this variety to perfection
great care must be exercised in the seloc-
lion of wood for cuttings, as in tiie
proper choice of wood lies the success <ir
failure to produce plants which while
giving a robust, vigorous growth will
also attain that firmness of foliage and
wood capaljle of producing large, well
developed buds of good color and form
and the smallest percentage of bull-
heads.

To eliminate this propensity to pro-
duce bull-heads the wood selected for
propagating should be that close-jointe !,
firm and well ripened blind wood taken
from as near the top of the bush .ns
possible, where it has been exposed to
sunlight and air. For years during the
time this rose was in favor, I tried the
experiment of propagating from flower
stems, using from one to three eyes and
followed up the practice year after year,
as the theory was then highly commended,
with the view of getting rid of bull-
heads. On carefully comparing the re-
sults I found that these plants pro-
duced thirty-five per cent more bull
lieads than the T>Iants from blind
wood cuttings. Where the plants

showed aJtendency to throw bull-head*
1 found/it a profitable plan to remove
the ercfwn bud and use a lateral instead.

The soil that seemed to best suit this
class of rose was a stiff, fibrous clay with
very little manure added. Manure con-
taining a large proportion of nitrogen
seemed to encourage that rankness of
growth favorable to the production of
bull-heads, whilst bone meal, lime or
wood ashes had the effect of producing
a firrtier texture of foliage and harder
wood more suited for the development
of perfectly formed flowers of a rich
color.

The temperature at which this variety
does its best is 62° nights, running to
75° or 80° during' bright sunshine. To
secure the best results in color and keep-
ing qualities care must be taken not to
overfeed, especially wi,th liquid manure
during the winter months.

lieing of a softer nature than most
roses the buds should be cut close, es-
pecially if they have to be shipped a dis-
tance, and care should be taken to leave
at least three fully developed eyes so
that a future crop may be assured.

If this color becomes as great n favor-
ite in the future as it has been in the
past we may expect some new varieties
on the market, as I am infornied that
there are a few seedlings which in point
of merit are away ahead of the Perle, and
which are maintaining stable character-
istics. lllBES.

PIPING FOR HOT WATER.

We have an oflSce 12x12 feet; adjoia-
ing this is a house 18x48 running east
and west; running north and south from
this are two houses, one 15x45, the other
16x100. The boiler is under the house
next the ofiice, but we are thinking of
putting in a new hot water boiler and
locating it in a pit at least six feet deep
at the south end of the long housCj about
130 feet from the office. We shall use
2-inch pipe mostly. In the house 18x4S
we want 50 degrees when it is 15 below
zero outdoors; in the house 16x45, 55 de-
grees, and in the house 16x100, 53 de-
grees. How many linear feet of l^^-
inch and 2-inch pipe make a square foot
of radiation! Please give the rules for
obtaining the amount of radiation which
will be required in a house of given di-
mensions when the temperature needed
and the coldest outdoor temperature are
stated. J.' W. M.

It is not an easy thing to give the
rules for computing the heat require-
ments for houses with different exposures
and situations, which are to be piped
with pipe of various sizes. In the first
place the piping is based upon the area
of the roof and sides of the house which
are exposed, the amount of piping de-
pending upon the temperature to be main-
tained during severe weather. While the
area of standard pipe is always the same,
Ihe constants for determining the radia-
tion needed differ for the temperature
required, depending upon the heat used,
whether hot water or steam, as well as
upon the pressure. It is therefore, quite
impracticable to give all the tables ani
method by which these factors are deter-
mined. The constants used have been
worked out by mechanical engineers anil
by careful experimental tests in the
greenhouse.

Without, therefore, endeavoi;ing to ex-
plain further the method by which con-
clusions have been arrived at, I will state
that your boiler, which is the keynote of

FORaNG LILAC IN FRANCE.

M. Jules Veran, a French writer, gives
some' interesting facts about forcing li-
lac, as follows:

"The lilacs to be forced are repottcl
at the end of June or the beginning of
July, according as the weather is more
or less sunny. Care is taken for the fir.st
fortnight to keep the plants in a shady
place, where they are constantly kept
covered; they must never be allowed to
wilt; for this reason they are only re-
potted early in the morning or in the
evening, the pots being plunged up to the
rim. Watering is done frequently, and
once a week liquid manure well dilute!
with water is applied. Watering is re-
duced in amount toward the end of Sep-
tember and the beginning of October,
when the leaves begin to fall. At this
season the pots are dug up and placed
«ide by side, watering being altogether
stopped, so that the plants may enter
upon a period of rest, when excess nf
moisture would cause rotting of the roots
Trithin the pot. For this reason the
plants are, from November onward, kept

under shelter from the autumn rains.
This condition, modified according to cir-
cumstances, is an important essential for
forced lilacs. The plants should also be
covered with a deep mulch of dry ma-
nure.

"Forcing begins about the middle of
November, in order that the flowers may
be produced for Christmas or New
Year's. The forcing house is divided
into three compartments ; one is com-
pletely covered over to exclude the light,
the plants being placed side by side, the
stems only being wetted with warm water
at a temperature of 28 to 30 degrees
Reaumur (say, 95 to 100 degrees Fahr.),
In three weeks ' time the, flowers expand,
and it is then necessary to e:q)ose them
to the light. They are in consequence
removed to the secopd compartment and
well .Watered. After* week the' flowers
begin to show color, 'When the plants are
removed to the third compartment at a
temperature of 15 degrees Reaumur (66
degrees Fahr,), where the flowers assume
their normal color.

' ' This plan demands five or siit weeks '
longer time than is required when the
plants are subjected to complete darl;-
ness,' but the results are stated to bo
superior. After New "Year/s no more
plants are placed in the dark, but they
are copiously watered. Forcing termi-
nates at the end of April. The shrubs
that • have not been forced, as well as
those from which the flowers have been
removed, are cut down and planted in
the open air, when in two years' time
they are ready to be again potted and
subjected to forcing."

DENDROBIUM PHALAENOPSIS.

Apart from their merits as useful
plants for house decoration and for
cutting purposes generally, the numerous
distinct varieties of this beautiful spe-
cies are among the finest of exhibition
plants, especially as the flowers remain
fresh on the plants for a very long time,
and also when cut. The plants of D.
Phalseno^sis will soon make nunierous
young roots from the base of the new
growths. Before these have made much
progress, any plants that need more root-
room should be repotted^ when tJiia roots
will quickly establish tbemselvetf.tn the
fresh compost. Where it is inteaded to
hang the plants up to the roof, small
shallow pans are generally preferred;
but the ordinary flower-pot with wire han-
dles attached may also be employed.
Whichever be used plenty of drainage
is necessaryi' I am using paJ^B for the
smallest plants, and providing only a
thin layer of fibrous peat and 3phagnum
moss for them to root into. Larger ex-
amples are placed in pots with, a com-
post of peat, leaf soil, and sphagnum
moss in equal parts ; a little coarse silver
sand and. a few small crocks are added
...to the compost during. the repotting proc-
ess. The pots are ^Ued nearly to the
brim ifrith soil, and 'a layer of clean
picked moss is packed firmly atound the
base' of the plant Thbse plants pro-
vided with such a corapost will require
very careful watering all through the
growing season; it is only necessary to
keep the surface moss in 'a fresh grow-
ing condition. Those plants in pans
with a much smallei" amount of compost
will require an abundance of water until
the flowering season is past. In either
case very little water will be needed for
several weeks after repotting, but as the
new shoots lengthen and roots become
more plentiful, the supply must be grad-
ually increased. When in full growth

COST OF FUEL.

My greenhouse? is 18x40, ten feet to
ridge, four feet side walls. Use natural
gas at 27 cents for fuel and steam as a
heating medium. The cost of gas last
winter was about $80. Is this as cheap
as a good grade of soft coal at $3 a ton?
Was the above cost reasonable for main-
taining 50 degrees in a house of this
«ize? C. L. W.

With a small greenhouse, sxich as you
luive, it is a question if jt is not cheaper
for you to use the gas at the high pricC
^oted than to attempt to fire with coal
at $3 per ton. \\ii^h gas there is little
or no kttetition demanded in the way -of
firing, but to maintain a constant steam
pressure* Jjpih 9|l!Mm-coal would reguire
that tbfe ^)Ier bie tired wt lejisb'^onpe
in two hourt throughout the whole twen-
ty-four hours. It is not so much a ques-
tion of cost of fuel as of cost of running
the! plant. I judge that, everything con-
ndered, the gas, while more expensive, is
more satisfactory, and if it is neces-
sary to hire the firing done, gas will
prove cheaper. At 27 cents per 1,000 feet
gas is equal to coal at $8.10 per ton.
Hard coal might be substituted for the
gas by using a self regulating boiler
with a slight saving in cost.

Seasonable Work.

Those who have their houses planted
and now nicely under way cannot sit
down in the shed, thinking that the work
is all done and that they might as well
cool off, for if one tries this method
he will soon find that the weeds, aphis,
etc., are making the most of his ab-
sence and getting in their ' ' best lieka. ' '
There is nothing that tends to make
good crops more surely, either indoors
or out, than good, constant cultivating,
and while you cannot use the small hand
cultivators in the house, you can use
the little five pronged seratchers to good
effect in their place, and if done often
enough it saves work, as it not only
does the cultivating but keeps the weeds
down, for they dry out at once as soon
as they germinate.

Do not let any aphides, either green
or black, get a foothold. If any are
seen take the first bright, dry morning
you have, and dust them with tajfeceo
powder, syringing this Q^from,iy^ to
three hours later. Do not trust to one
or two applications being permanently ef-
fective but keep a constant lookout for
J'^hese as well as all enemies. Go over
the plants often, gathering and burning
the yellow leaves and trimming the run-
ners off so as to have nice stocky
crowns by the time you are ready to pick
flowers. B. E. Shuphelt.

VIOLETS UNDER SASH.

I have two sash houses 150 feet long
on which one-half the sash can be opened
as ventilators. Can I plant one house
with Marie Louise and the other with
California violets in July without re-
moving the sash? Should I keep the
runnels cut off the Californias, the same
as with Marie Louise, or let them grow.

Rose Pink Peony, Nuoam Geissler.

as if they were planted in the field to
be housed in the fall? A. N.

From the description I should suppose
that the houses would do very v/ell for
violets and, as I take it they are old
houses, I would emphasize what I said
a few weeks ago about cleaning out, fu-
migating, painting, liming, etc., so as to
have the houses in good shape. They can
be planted without removing the sash,
but of course you will have to do some
shading and give all the ventilation
possible. However, as I understand that
part of the sash open at the ridge, care
will have to be exercised that they be
closed during heavy showers to pre-
vent packing down the borders and get-
ting them heavy and in poor condition.
We would keep both houses thoroughly
cultivated, runners cut off, old leaves
picked off, etc. R. E. S.

INDOOR GRAPERIES.

The undersigned, for one, was much
interested in the article on "Indoor
Graperies " by W. S. Croydon. Like him,
I have often wondered that grape grow-
ing was not taken up here as a commer-
cial industry. Not in the remotest de-
gree would I attempt to criticize any-
thing that was said in that brief but able
review of the subject, but rather to cor-
roborate and encourage some enterprise
in a field in which 1 feel sure there is
every promise for a handsome return for
the outlay of capital, skill and labor.

The grapes grown under glass in Eu-
rope and this country are varieties of
Vitis vinifera, native of temperate re-
gions, and yet when the wood is properly
ripened it will endure zero weather. Our
American grapes are the offspring of
Vitis Labrusca and in skin, flesh, texture,
flavor and foliage they are widely dis-
tinct from what are generally known as
exotic grapes. I have heard full grown
Americans say they preferred a bunch of
Concords to a bunch of Black Hamburg.
There is no accounting for taste I We
knew a worthy Scotchman who consid-
ered a solo by Duncan McLeod, ' ' The
Campbells Are Coming," on the bag
pipes far superior to Remenyi 's rendition
of Beethoven's sonata on the violin.

The taste and demand for these exotic
grapes is no longer a question. A few
years ago we had in our employ the son
of a wealthy landowner of Belgium whose
father sent to New York during the win-
ter months tons of grapes and, as a box
arrived at our house and we helped to
eat them, we can vouch for the quality.
We were informed that they netted the
Belgian grower something like $2 per
pound. As there was freight and com-
mission and retailer's profit to be addi«l
to this, by the time they were devoured
by Reginald Astorbilt they were indeed
a luxury. Yet not the slightest bit more
an extravagance than American Beauty
roses at $24 a dozen.

Twenty-eight years ago we sent to
New York City a good many hundred
pounds of indoor-grown grapes at the
end of July. We received $1.50 per
pound for them and in August $1 per
pound. In New York, Boston, Chicago
or Philadelphia, as well as many
smaller cities, where one pound of these
delicious grapes could be sold thirty years

ago, today 500 pounds would find a ready
market.

Before I invested very largely in grap-
eries it would be well to know the possi-
bilities of California and our late acqui-
sition, Porto Rico, although I think the
latter island too tropical for these grapes.
A variety of grape comes to us from Cali-
fornia in the late summer mouths. The
variety I don't know. It is a red, gristly,
oval berry, fine in flavor but always seems
to me as if cut before it was ripe. A
grape never goes on ripening one hour
after it is cut; it must be fully ripe when
cut. After all, if California can produce
the best of Black Hamburgs and Muscat
of Alexandria she would only be in oppo-
sition to our home glass-grown products
during the short season when the crop
was ripe, while we with our glass-protect-
ed product could have them earlier and
later, for under proper conditions they
will hang for months. For instance, in
England grapes ripened in September are
kept in good condition on the vines till
the fjpllov^ing March. Perhaps in olflf win-
ters we could not do that, yet we coiiM
easily keep them till Christmas.

Now as to the probable profits of this
most pleasant horticultural industry; we
can form some idea -from the price the
grower gets on the other side of the At-
lantic. Although I quoted $2 per pound
to the Belgian growers, there would be
money in grapes in the month of August
at one-fourth that figure. From several
causes, largely by the appearance of mil-
dew, outdoor grape-growing in Great Brit-
ain has for the past half century been
almost abandoned and practically all the
grapes are produced under glass.
While the milder and sunnier climate of
France, southern Germany and the still
more favorable climates of Italy and
Spain, produce these fine grapes without
protection, little attention is paid to their
cultivation under glass, hence the great
skill and art, we must call it, of the Brit-
ish gardener has produced extraordinary
results. A single bunch of grapes exhib-
ited at Edinburg some twenty years ago
weighed a few ounces over twenty-seven
pounds and to prove this was no freak
or monstrosity, the second prize bunch
was but a few ounces less.

Fifty years ago in the British Isles
these hothouse grapes, as they were often
called, were as much out of the reach of
the moderate income as they are here
today, but that is no longer the case.
Some forty years ago millions of feet of
glass were erected for the cultivation of
the grape; all classes went in for grape
growing. In crowded cities, where there
was a little baek yard, as well as in more
favorable localities, up went the grap-
eries. In one favored spot on the south
coast, Worthing, county of Sussex, with
the shelter of the South Downs on the
north and English Channel on the south,
on a deep, rich loam, acres of graperies
were built and, although I am speaking;
from distant recollections, I feel sure that
hundreds of tons of these grapes did not
net the grower more than sixpence (12
cents) per pound. Such was the excel-
lence of the soil and salubrity of the cli-
mate that we can remember being there
one August day as an English volunteer,
a sort of Fourth of July soldier, and buy-
ing some fine ripe figs at the rate of .'50
cents per bushel.

We have any amount of such good land
and, as Mr. Croydon remarks, our climate,
even in our northern states, is infinitely
more favorable from March to December
for the cultivation of the grape than is
that of Great Britain.

'),':>;

The "White Peony, Festiva Rfaxina.

These remarks are too long already, so
I must cut short some points that I in-
tended to comment on. Style of house,
soil, inside or outside borders, cultivation,
etc., are worthy of a good sized book and
it is not quite called for here. Just a
word about what once existed here and
in many cities of 100,000 or 200,000
about thirty-five or forty years ago.
Building a cold grapery was a craze with
hundreds who could afford it. Scarcely
one now exists. The proprietor thouglit
building the grapery and planting the
vines was all there was to it and the
coachman or hired man could do the rest.
A few years of failure, then disgust, then
down came the structure and now grape
growing under glass is confined to wealthy
men's places, where they keep real, live,
professional gardeners, such as Arthur
Herrington and Wm. Duckham, who raise
splendid grapes.

This luscious and delicious fruit is the
most simple to pack and a good travel*"-
and if I were young again and knew
what I do now I should not start grape
growing north of Maryland or "Virginia.
Freight to our large cities would cut no
figure, but the severe winters and the cost
for fuel, either in early forcing or late
retarding, would be of great moment, and
not only cost of fuel but our terrible win-
ters would be hard to overcoirte.

In conclusion, there is only one feature
of grape culture that is tedious and that
is the thinning of the berries. Very cheap
help could be taught that. The difference
of the labor between En eland and this
country that would enter into the produc-
tion of these grapes would not be 5 cents
per pound and if they were let in free,
so much the better, for it would put gin-
ger into UP.

In this city on February 1, 1875, T
put twenty-four cyCs of grape vines in
3-inch pots. All did well and produced
grapes, but from the best of the lot on
August ]. 1876. or after about nineteen
months, from this little hit of wood an

inch long I cut twenty-three bunches with

a total weight of seventeen pounds. I

did something entirely different from the

old, orthodox plan or would not have got

those results. Goldsmith, when looking

on decaying Italy, said:

III farex the land, to hastening ills a prey.
Where wealth accumulates and men decay.

The best way for us to keep from decay
is to grow antl produce what the wealthy
are willing to indulge in, and grow it
good and fine, and not trust too much
to "protection." William Scott.

CUT WORMS AND ANTS.

Please let me know, through the Re-
view, of a remedy for cut worms on cab-
bage plants, and if any brother florist
can tell me how to destroy ants I sh.all
appreciate it. I am greatly troubled with
both pests. P. J. K.

As a preventive against cut worms on
cabbage plants a liberal dressing of air-
slaked lime given to the soil a week or
ten days previous to planting is about
the best thing I know of. When the
plants are once attacked it is hard to
get them back into good health, though
I have found that watering the healthy
plants, after a few began to show signs
of the trouble, with a solution of nitrate
of soda, using a good teaspoonful te a
ten-quart can of water, will prevent fur-
ther injury. Infested plants should be
pulled up and destroyed.

Feed the ants, near their holes, with
powdered sugar for a few nights and,
when they have got to eating and carrj--
ing it away freely, add a little arsenic
This will soon put an end to their careers.
The advantage of the powdered sugar is
that the particles, being small, are easily
carried into the holes, where they feed it
to their young brood and the queens. Once
the latter are destroyed the supply of
eggs is cut off, the queen, like the queen
bee, being the only female in the hive.

TROUBLE WITH CUCUMBERS.

Enqlosed you will find a diseased leal'
of a Icucumbei' plant. I . still have the
sash dn. The same brown spots and burnt
edge first appeared after the glass had
been ', removed last year. If possible
pleasei tell me whether the green lice
usually found on cucumbers have anything
to do! with it, or is it probable that there
is something wrong with the soil?

! G. H. S.

From the appearance of the leaf sent,
I should judge that the trouble is caused
by inactivity of the roots, probably due
either to unsuitable soil, an over supply
of water or insuflBicient drainage. Cu-
cumbers require plenty of water but suf-
ficient drainage must hid provided so that
it does not leave the soil soggy. I can
find np trace of fungus or other disease;
it is ; 'a scald pure m»d simple caused
through the faili^re of the roots to supply
the nec«|8ary aitttriment ta support the^
foliagd wliiie subjected to the stro% tm*^
of the suni The green licei'WfitiO"^''
would not in themselves cause the trouble
unless the plants were badly infested, but
they certainly assist in weakening the
plants and some means should be ein-
ployed to get them cleared out. A few
small bundles of tobacco stems laid
around the plants in the frame from the
time they are planted and renewed occa-
sionally when the strength is spent will
be found a good preventive.

MADISON, N. J.

The Thrips Scare.

This town has been coming in for con-
riderable attention of late, on the part
of the newspapers, owing to the thrips
scare among the rose growers. While it
was largely I'.x: ygerated, some of ihe
papers even claiming that the indus-
try was ruinc-l. the fnct remains i'.\at
it was bad enough. No one ever remem-
bers seeing anything like it before and
we hope never to again. The thrips ap-
peared to find everyone at once and ap-
peared by the millions on the vegetation
outside. From there to the inside of the
greenhouses was a short step jmd the
thrips soon took it. Most rose men are
familiar with this tiny little fellow, so
small as to be almost invisible, but vhe
damage a host of them can do to the
buds in a rose house is beyond belief.

At this writing the pest is under con-
trol again everywhere so far as 1 he.ir,
and peace once more reigns. A heavy
rain or two washed them away outsitle
and a vigorous use of the hose supple-
mented by fumigation evenings, has
pretty well cleared them, off inside. The
thrips did not by any^ means confine
themselves to Madison. Many other sec-
tions report a more or less severe visita-
tion, one correspondent in Massachusetts
writing me that he had them around his
houses by the million.

Various Notes.

Beplanting is now proceeding rapidly
in thi8 section. Many growers kept in
their roses later than usual in the hope
that June, which usually is a good
month, would help to make up their
losses of the winter. So far this hope
has not been realized and it is not to
be expected that any but midsummer
prices will rule the market from now on.
Very few of the new La Detroit are seen.

One or two are trying a few KiUarney,
but the rose growers here prefer to wait
until someone else demonstrates the value
of a rose before they will take it up,
and practically the only roses grown are
Beauty, Bride and Maid.

A. H. Folger, representing the James
L. Beynolds Fertilizer Company, has
been spending a week here gathering
up his orders. He reports business as
excellent in his line with a great increase
over his trade last year. <

James Hart has disposed of the re-
mainder of his greenhouse plant to Bob-
ert M. Schultz and will in future devote
his whole time to his wholesale business
in New York. Mr. Hart claims to be the
father of the wholesale business ani
practically all the successful wholesalers
in New York had their first tutelage un-
der him. He -still retains his residence
here.* "Bob%V Schultz is one of the
best known rose growers in town and n
now hustling to get his new place planted
and in ^Mp«' He i is v'ftn expert in his
own particular tine ■etu^^ will be heard
from this winter.

Chrysanthemum: stock is looking fine
in this section. Charles H. Totty re-
ports that he is about cleaned out of
young stock of his novelties. He has
made shipments to every ^tate in the
union. The plants with A. Herxington
and W. Duckham are in splendid shape
and the usual number of prizes in the
mum classes will doubtless come to
Madison this fall, B. B.

BUFFALO.

The month just closing will long be
remembered as an ideal and lovely June
and local florists will remember it as
being a prosperous time. There have
been any number of weddings of the
most intense interest to the contracting
parties, but few that called for a \ecy
elaborate display of the florists' art
aod materials, still all doing something.
It seems to me that we have not had
the school commencement business so good
for many years, or ever, as this year.
Last week was the great time and every
day all hands were kept on the jump
making up bunches of roses and carna-
tions; still there were flowers enough.
At the graduation of the high schools
flowers are not allowed to be presented
to the lads and lassies. If they were
I doubt if there would have been enough
to go around.

Outdoor roses have been very useful
the past week. Baroness Bothschild, , UI-
rich Brunner and Magna Cbarta are
lovely if kept watered and disbudded
and you get up at 5 a. m. to cut them.
The two best carnations we have for this
time of year are Ethel Crocker and Pros-
perity. The benches of these are truly
wonderful. There are any amount of
poor, mildewed roses coming in and there
are also some very good and clean Brides
and Bridesmaids. W. J. Palmer, Charles
Guenther and Corfu are cutting fine
Kaiserin and Carnot. I am glad to say
that prices, both wholesale and retail,
have not descended to quite as low a
mark as that quoted from some cities.
The season of the fire cracker is close
upon us and then comes the dull two
months.

There will be some building this year.
W. Legg, who sold his Delaware avenue
place last March, has erected two houses
eact 20x75 on Delevan avenue close to
the entrance to beautiful Forest Lawn.
F. L. Poore has just completed a house

20x75 at his Delaware avenue place, also
catering to cemetery trade. W. J. Palm-
er is building a house 30x300 at Lancas-
ter, I think destined for carnations.

C. F. Christensen was so delighted with
his spring business, selling out early and
clean, that be proposed spending a month
on the Aleutian Islands, shooting sea
otter, but has finally made up his mind
to put the money into two new houses
each 19x125.

Very few visitors of late, or they have
escaped me. S. S. Skidelsky was here.
He tells me has the distribution of John
Murchie's splendid white carnation, Fred
Burki. This looked to us as fine a white
as the Detroit convention could show. As
Lawson is one of its parents, it can't
be far wrong.

Our most able superintendent of For-
est Lawn, George Troup, sailed last week
for the "Land of brown heath and shag-
gy wood, land of the mountain and the
flood," land of Bums, and Scott, of
Carlyle and a hundred other philosophers,
besides warriors and statesmen by • the
carload. Their blood has furnished the
majority of the presidents of the United
States. Shakespeare was not a Scotch-
man, although his ability would warrant
the assumption that he did belong to the
land of Cakes. Mr. Troup has gone
abroad as a single man. Let us pray
that he will come back double.

The committee to arrange premiums
for the H. A. Meldrum annual fall ex-
hibition (Prof. Cowell, Charles Keitsch
and W. S.) met recently and the schedule
will soon be mailed to all likely exhibit-
ors. As last year, the amount given in
premiums is $1,000 to be paid the night
the exhibition closes. We struck out
plant classes entirely, as they brought
scarcely any competition and little at-
traction. In classes for cut mums that
must be grown and exhibited by the
grower only and whose place is within
fifty miles of Buffalo, $300 is given. By
cutting out the plants this leaves just
as much for Adrian and Bichmond and
I hope this year some others. The classes
are few but juicy.

A wedding of exceptional gaiety will
take place on East Balcom street,
Wednesday, June 29, at 2 p. m. The
bride is the beautiful daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Wm. Warring and the lucky
man is Frank Miller. The decoration,
mostly field flowers, will be under th<?
direction of Roland Cloudsley, inside dec-
orator for the William Scott Co.; break-
fast by Cummings, music by Marcus.
Mr. Warring is very familiarly known
among the boys as * ' Old Hoss. ' ' Wo
shall be there because we know that
Billy will have something up in the
comer cool and refreshing with a piece
of ice on top. W. S.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

The market is very dull this week.
There is Jittle business ami not over-
much good stock. A few specialties,
such as Beauties, white roses and valley
are chief factors in the limited demand.
Sweet peas are awfully plentiful and
cheap. Summer flowers of good quality,
thanks to the thunder showers, are seen
in great variety. There is a little demand
for them but it requires careful nurs-
ing.

Correction.

A note appeared in this column two
weeks ago that "John A. Shellem states
he will retire from the business on July
1." This should have read Herman
Schoenfeld. It was an unfortunate error
for which I trust Mr. Shellem will ac-
cept my humble apology.

Various Notes.

Samuel S. Pennock is receiving a few
fine orchids.

John Westcott entertained a large-
party of his friends at Waretown, on
Barnegat Bay, last Friday. Among the
Commodore's guests, most of whom
stayed a day or two, enjoying the boat-
ing and fishing, were William E. Smith,
W. F. Gude and Mr. Loeffler, of Wash-
ington, D. C, J. C. Vaughan, of Chi-
cago, John N. May, of Summit, N. J.,
John Burton, Eobert Craig, Eobert Kift,
Edwin Lonsdale, David Bust and others.

Herbert G. Tull took a party of
friends by boat to Eiverton last Satur-
day. The immense Dreer place is fast
assuming its Fourth of July, neat as
wax appearance.

The Henry F. Michell Co. has just
elevated an immense sign measuring
30x36 feet to the roof of the seed store.
' ' MieheU 's Seeds ' ' can now be seen from
the Delaware to City Hall.

H. H. Battles entertained a number
of visiting florists at luncheon last
Saturday at Boothby's. His guests were
William B. Smith, J. C. Vaughan, W.
F. Gude, Mr. Loeflfler and Samuel S. Pen-
nock. '

Eowland C. Hayden enjoyed a three
days' fishing trip to Barnegat Bay last
week.

H. Bayersdorfer & Co. report some
fine orders for cycas leaves and wheat
sheaves.

William J. Baker is receiving nice
lilies of the valley.

Ferdinand Le Gierse, Jr., has taken
the place of John Wild, at Swaithmorc,
Pa.

M. Kice & Co. are making the best use
of the lull which precedes the storm by
taking account of stock, a necessity in
everj' well conducted business.

E. Nieman, with Eobert Crawford, Jr.,
was married on Monday evening. His
brother and family came down from
Pottsville for the wedding.

C. F. Edgar & Co. are receiving white
petunias and flags from H. H. Battles'
Thorn Hedge Farm at Newtown Square
and candytufts from Herman Schoen-
feld 's place at Upper Darby.

C. H. Campbell reports an excellent
spring plant business.

William J. Baker has some exception-
ally fine Emily Henderson sweet peas.

Godfrey Aschmann has experienced a
heavy demand for soft wooded plants
this season.

The rose and sweet pea show of the
Pennsylvania Horticultural Society was

The White Peony, Queen Victoria, the old Whitleyi.

held last week under favorable condi-
tions. General interest has increascl
and better displays are made under the
society's banner. Well done Mr. Eust.
Answers to Correspondents.

Eeview readers are invited to send any
questions relating to culture or mar-
keting of plants and flowers in Phila-
delphia to "Phil," in care of any of the
leading seed or commission houses or
the Flower Market. Each question will
be submitted to a competent person and
answered under number. Correct name
and address must always accompany in-
quiry, but will not be published.

No. 17. What are the average ex-
penses for labor in greenhouse plants of
50,000 and 10,000 square feet of glass?

The question is a very difficult one
to answer, as the expense would vary be-
cause of many circumstances in the in-
dividual cases. It would undoubtedly
be more per square foot for a small
plant than for a larger one and would
also vary with the different classes of
stock grown.

No. 18. Is coke at $3 a ton a more
economical fuel than anthracite pea coal
at $4 a ton?

I think coke at $3 per ton is some-
what cheaper than pea coal at $4. Pea
coal is so much used now for domestic
purposes that the price has been ad-
vanced in consequence, so that it is al-
most beyond the reach* of florists. The
most economical coal for florists is the
best grade of soft coal, where there are
suitable boilers for burning it. So far
as my experience goes, Georges Creek
soft coal is the proper article.

No. 19. Is there any injustice lo
large buyers for a firm which imports

bulbs and roots to advertise this stock
throughout the season and sell it from
cold storage to the small buyers?

Of course it is true that a large quan-
tity of bulbs are now kept in storage, but
the purchaser of these cold storage bulbs
must pay the cold storage charges and a
certain amount of interest for the ex-
tended, time taken in delivery.

NEW YORK.

The Market

The market on Monday' was still weak,
with no encouraging signs of convales-
cence. Saturday and Sunday were the
hottest June tlays in New York in thirty
yearfj. !N early lOU degrees was reached
in the shade and in tiie sun man and
beast were prostrated. Even June brides
could ,not lift tlie depref^sion and they
have only a few days left to get into the
band wagon. Carnations seldom go above
$1 for I he finest. Koses are a drug.
Har4ly any demand for anything. One
pleasant feature of the week which will
break the monotony, is the outing of the
club on Wednesday. Everything at this
writing indicates a great success. Full
particulars with names of winners can-
not reach this week's issue. But if
every club in the country will display
the same enthusiasm as to a summer re-
union it would add immensely to the har-
mony and stability of all such organiza-
tion[^.

Various Notes.

Joseph A. Millang, the Beauty king,
celebrated his thirty-fifth birthday Juno
21. Strange some fair damsel does not
take advantage of leap year in this case.

Frank Millang contemplates another
trip to his western ranch near Portland,
Ore., this summer.

A. J. Fellouris is back from Mars Hill
and the Acropolis with his Grecian bride,
looking much the better for his European
trip,

Mr. Bland, of Girard & Co., florists of
Eegeut street, London, England, is on a
visit to America and the World's Fair.

Jos. Fenrich receivetl his first shipment
of cut flowers last Thursday, a box of
' gladioli of excellent quality. He has fitted
up his new store very neatly.

John Young has been receiving some
fine Beauties, irises, peonies, Liberties,
Kaiserins and valley from Carl Jurgens,
of Newport, R. I. He tells me that the
corresponding week a year ago was the
banner week of June, while this season
it was the worst of the year to date.

The engagement is announced of
A. C. Scott, of New Rochelle, nephew of
Alex McConnell, and one of his force at
the Fifth avenue store, to Miss Jennie
Beynolds of the same city. The marriage
will take place in the early fall. Con-
gratulations are extended.

The father-in-law of James McConnell.
of the New York Cut Flower Co., died
June 21 after a lingering illness.

Bonnot Bros., of Fleraington, N. J.,
have completed their rebuilding for the
season, devoting their large new house
entirely to Bride and Bridesmaid roses.

Edward Boehrs, of Rutherford, son of
Julius Roehrs, arrived home last Friday
after a two and one-half years' stay in
France, Belgium and England, where he
worked with several of the best horticul-
tural houses.

Julius Roehrs is rebuilding a number
of houses as usual and has received large
importations of phnpnix and other palms,
araucarias and orchids, as well as bay
trees, his laree stock being about de-
pleted. He attributed the exceptional de-
mand this year to the severe weather of
the winter, many having to be replaced,
and not to any speinal increase of general
appreciation.

Bobbink & Atkins are constantly add-
ing to their nurseries, having now about
eighty acres planted with a "implete as-
sortment of grand stock. They have a

forest of bay trees of all sizes and re-
port an excellent season, with a constantly
growing demand.

Wm. Plumb will drink his own health
hereafter and that of his fellow members
irom a solid silver loving cup, the gift
of the Brooklyn Horticultural Society,
which thus has shown its appreciation of
his excellent services as manager of the
carnation exhibition of 1903.

Fleischman, Thorley, Thos. Young and
Warrendorff generously supplied the cut
flowers for tue benefit performance at
the Grand Opera house in behalf of the
sufferers through the Gen. Slocum trag-
edy.

The sympathy of his many friends is
extended to John Nash in the loss of his
brother, who was accidentally killed in
London, England.

B. Suzuki, of Suzuki & lida, left last
week for Japan and from present indica-
tions will hardly reach Yokohama in time
to join with his countrymen in celebrating
the fall of Port Arthur.

Mansfield is enjoying bis annual outing
at Saratoga.

Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Clucas visited the
World 's Fair last week and the seeds-
men 's convention,

Mr. and Mrs. Heller, of Heller Bros.,
New Castle, Ind., were recent visitors.

Among the visitors to New York last
week was W. C. Barry, of Rochester.
Many nurserymen on their way to the
Atlanta convention spent a few hours in
the city.

The east side florists have had the most
strenuous experience in their history, ow-
ing to the great steamboat disaster. It
was impossible for many to fill their
orders, some having nearly 100 separate
floral designs in a day.

Several of the large retail stores have
their windows devoted to lily ponds, those
of Warrendorff and Small, on Broadway,
l)eing especially effective. Many varieties
are on exhibition.

The great convention at St. Louis is
so near that general interest is evident
and prospective visitors are already mak-
ing arrangements for the journey. Chair-
man O 'Mara announces stop-over privi-
leges at Philadelpliia, Washington and
Cincinnati, the Baltimore & Ohio railroad
having been definitely decided upon as
the route and 10 a. m., August 15, as the
starting hour from New York. Reserva-
tions of l)erth8 should be made as early as
possible and the committee will also ar-
range for hotel accommodations if de-
sired. It is hoped the attendance of last
year will be greatly increased. Every
arrangement for an enjoyable trip and
the fraternizinqr of the brethren enroute
is being provided.

J. F. Sullivan, of Detroit, who has been
visiting his parents at West Grove, Pa.,
and dallying with the surf at Atlantic
City, is spending a few days with his
brothers and friends in New York City,
visiting the growers, reveling in the splen-
dors of Corey Island and enjoying the
outing of the New York Florists' Club.
He is exnected to make the overfed New
Yorkers hustle in the fat men 's race.

Lager & Hurrell. of Summit, N. J., re-
port an exceptionally busy season, large
quantities of orchids arriving and going
cut everv day. One order this week re-
quired forty-five cases. The demand is
rapidly increasing and comes from every
part of the coimtrv.

Bowlitijg:.

"It's getting too hot to bowl," seems
to be the refrain these summer evenings.

day evening of last week:

CHICAGO.

The Market.

The trade has settled down to the sum-
mer basis, the only difference being that
considerably more than the ordinary
quantity of stock is coming in. Receipts
continue almost as heavy as in early
June, replanting operations not being ap-
parent in the quantity of stock in the
market. Beauties of satisfactory quality
are the one item that is in short supply.
The quality of these has been on the down
grade for some time and they are now but
little better in this respect than the Brides
and Maids. It would seem that the grow-
ers of the great quantities of very badly
mildewed tea roses which are seen would
make haste to get the houses replanted,
but such does not seem to be the case.
There are some very fine Kaiserins coming
in, which sell as high as $8 j)er 100, but
by far the greater part of the receipts of
roses are jobbed off by the box.

Those who thought there was a decrease
in the carnation cut in sight have found
themselves mistaken. Receipts are fre-
quently 25,000 blooms a day in several of
the commission houses and there is no
market for such quantities. When the
stock is a day old it is almost impossible
to sell it at any price, the Greeks re-
fusing anything but fresh stock of pretty
fair grade at 5 cents a bunch. There are
still considerable quantities of lilies, but
many of them are now auratum. If one
wishes peonies he will have no trouble in
finding whatever quantity he may need.
Prices are as variable as the quality,
but most of them value low. .The re-
ceipts from the growers have practically
ceased, but there are large quantities still
in cold storage. The outdoor sweet peas
have come in the last week and countless
thousands are seen in the commission
houses. Lily of the valley continues in
fair demand, . but feverfew and other
small stock of that character is not
wanted, except for window display. The
indoor gladioli are nearly gone. As-
paragus continues very scarce, but other
greens are plentiful.

Beginning July 1 the wholesale houses
will close at 5 p. m. daily. July 4 they will
close at noon. Buyers should bear this in
mind.

Various Notes.

Peter Jensen, of 890 W. North avenue,
was in the market as usual Sunday morn-
ing and within a few moments of his re-
turn home fell dead of heart disease. He
was 33 years old and was doing a fairly
prosperous retail business with the assist-
ance of his wife. They had no children.
Mr. Jensen was formerly a rose grower
for ,T. A. Budlong, by whom he was held
in high esteem. The funeral was held on
Wednesday afternoon and many in the
trade sent floral pieces.

It is stated that George A. Kuhl and
J. S. Wilson, who bought the Albert Fuchs
plant on June 15, just prior to the adver-
tised auction, have withdrawn from the
deal prior to the completion of the trans*
fer. Mr. Fucha states that he is again
the sole owner of the establishment an.l
that he will at once proceed with the auc-
tion as originally contemplated.

Vice-president P. J. Foley presided at
the Florists ' Club meeting June 23. The
principal business of the evening was the
auditing of bills and the election to mem-
bership of H. E. Philpott, of Winnepeg,
Manitoba. The new by-laws will come
up for adoption at the next meeting.

On the night of June 23 there were two
fires at short intervals in the building oc-
cupied by the A. L. Bandall Co. The struc-
ture and contents were damaged to the
extent of $15,000 but the Randall Com-
pany's loss, from water, was only a few
dollars. A. L. Bandall is at his farm in
Michigan for the summer.

W. L. Palinsky says that this has been
the best spring season in the last ten
years. He has sold out of everything at
good prices. Mr. Palinsky grows prob-
ably the greatest variety of bedding stock
of any one in this vicinity.

L. H. Winterson and Miss Steen were
married yesterday afternoon and are now
in "Wisconsin on their wedding trip.

E. Asmua says this has been a very fim
season in the bedding plant trade, all
stock selling out clean. Last year there
was considerable left but this year has
seen everything moving out at good
prices, although supplies were in the be-
ginning considerably larger than usual.

J. B. Deamud says he put a carload of
peonies in cold storage on Monday.

L. Coatsworth is at New Castle super-
intending some changes in the Benthey-
Coatsworth establishment there.

A. Dietsch has returned from a four
months' trip through the south and he is
again enjoying comparatively good
health.

It is announced that John G. Lambros
and Miss Lily "White will be married at
the Greek church July 3. N. Chronis and
Mrs. Theo. Kalous will be best man and
bridesmaid.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

The business holds up well and the
general summer depression is not yet
felt. The past week practically ended
the social season. There was a great
deal more work for school exercise* this
year than last and we hope for the re-
vival of olden times, when thq month of
June Mas classed as one of the best
months in the year. From now on there
is nothing much looked for unless there
are receptions and decorations at the.
"World's Fair, and funeral work, which
was somewhat slow the past week. Re-
planting has begun at some places and

others will soon follow. This, of course,
will make stock scarce for some time.

As to stock at the wholesale houses,
there is plenty of almost everything,
though most of it is of poor quality. In
sweet peas the market is glutted with all
varieties; the bulk of them are of very
fine quality. The fakirs sell them two
bunches for 5 cents. It hardly »pays the.
growers to pick and bunch them at 50
and 75 cents per 1,000. The hot weather
is beginning to tell on the roses and
fancy stock is somewhat scarce, with
plenty of the second grades in the mar-
ket for all demands at prices which range
from $3 to $6 per 100. Beauties are in
good demand, though somewhat off color.
Ijarge white carnations are difficult to
obtain. A few of the best bring $2;
plenty of pink, with reds very small.
Candidum lilies are about over. Peonies
are still to be had, though slow sale.
Gladioli, candytuft, hollyhocks and other
outdoor flowers are plentiful. Smilax,
asparagus and other greens are plentiful
at their usual prices.

Special Qub Meeting.

SgiSES'

**I received a great many orders
from the advertisement in the

that it pays to advertise in the
Review and I shall use it when-
ever I have stock to sell*''

R. D. KIMBALL.

"Waban, Mass.
June 24, 1904.

to talk over convention arrangements.
This meeting was held at the residence
of our treasurer, Otto G. Koenig. The
meeting opened promptly at 2 o'clock,
with thirty-one members present. The
finance committee reported plenty of
funds on hand and all members working
faithfully. Messrs. Ammann, Ellis,
Beyer, Tesson, "Weber and Beneke re-
ported that arrangements were almost
complete as to the work of their commit-
tees. Supt. Kuehn, of the trade display,
says that applications for space are com-
ing in every day and that arrangements
in the display room are nearly all com-
plete. The following arrangements were
made as to program for entertainment
during the convention: Tuesday night
at 7:30, president's reception; Wednes-
day morning at 9 a. m., ladies 's bowling
contest; afternoon at 2 p. m., bowling
tournament of the National Florists'
Rowling Association in teams of five, and
individual contest. During the time of
the bowling tournament the ladies will be
taken for an outing by the ladies' re-
ception committee, of which F. C. "Weber
is chairman. Thursday afternoon at 2
p. m. the shooting contest will take place ;
on Friday afternoon a reception and out-

ing at Shaw's Botanic Garden, to which
every member of the S. A. F. is in-
vited.

The meeting then adjourned to in-
spect Mr. , Koenig 's well kept place, after
which the members were taken for a drive
' through beautiful Belief ontaine cemetery,
which was much enjoyed. On our re-
turn, Mrs. Koenig, assisted by Mr. Koe-
nig's sisters, had prepared a fine repast
on the lawn in front of the residence, at
which everything one 's heart desired was
spread on the tables. After lunch speech-
making was in order, and the president
called on different members for short
talks. Among those who responded were:
J. F. Ammann, J. W. Dunford, Otto Koe-
nig, E. W. Guy, Emil Schray, C. A.
Juengel and "W. J. Pilchea:, A vote of
thanks was extended to Mr. and Mrs.
Koenig for the great treat given the
members and the afternoon will long be
remembered by those who attended.

Various Notes.

The various Florists' Bowling Clubs,
through their captains, should correspond
with Carl Beyer, chairman of the bowl-
ing committee, at 3619 S. Grand avenu^
at once and make their entries for the
tournament in August, so that all arrange-
ments can be made ahead. The gun
clubs should write to R. F. Tesson, Clay-
ton, Mo., regarding the shooting contest.
All who have not yet applied for space
in the trade display should do so at once,
as this will be the banner meeting of the
society during the World's Fair year.
Mr. Kuehn should be addressed, 1122
Pine street. Last call has been issuetl
by Mr. Beneke for advertisements for the
souvenir book. Those who have failed
to send in their advertisements should
do so at once.

On Saturday morning we had a call
from Phil Hauswirth and George Asmns,
of Chicago. Both were here to attend the
big bowling meeting on Sunday after-
noon. They spent most of the day on
Saturday inspecting the Pike at the
World 's Fair. They returned home Sun-
day night much pleased with their trip^
saying that the Chicago delegation to
the convention will be the largest yet.

Nick and John Himmer, of Meramee
Highlands, have made application for
membership to the Florists' Club. They
are building a fine range of new houses
at their place, which will be completed
by August 1.

C. Young & Sons Co. is making a fine
show in the windows of cut gladioH,
bloominp begonias and decorative plantSL

The Ellison Floral Co. had a busy
week with reception work and late wed-
dings, with orders ahead for this week.

Messrs. Ayers, George Waldbart, Fred
Weber, Theo. Miller and the rest of the
we^t end florists all report business keep-
ing up better than expected for the end

The Market.

The market during the past week was
largely supported by numerous orders for
school graduations, roses, carnations, lily
of the valley and sweet peas being in
the best demand and prices on these have
ruled firm and higher for good stock. A
good deal of poor quality stock is now
coming in, especially of roses and car-
nations, which nets the grower very lit-
tle and might almost as well be left at
home. Peonies are now over, the hot
weather finishing them, shade tempeni-
tures within the week running as high as
95 degrees. Outdoor hybrid roses are al-
ready on the wane, but sweet peas are
piling up in large numbers and will
soon be a glut. A few Lilium candi-
dum, outdoor grown, appeared this week.
Spikes were not particularly good. With
the close of schools and lack of social
events we may now expect a weak and
overloaded market. Shipping trade to
shore resorts has started and will prove
something of a factor for the next three
months. Several growers now bring in
good lots of Kaiserin and Golden Gate,
grown expressly for summer bloom. Thes^:
sell fairly well, the best fetching $5 to
$6. Some growers are now pulling ouc
their carnations, intending to replant
with field stock as early as possible.
This will tend to restrict the output of
these, although it may be said that good
stock sold easily last week at $2 to .$3,
while poor samples were almost givan
away. This only proves a well known
and oft repeated statement that good
stock will always sell.

Qub Meeting.

There was a large attendance at the
meeting of the Gardeners ' and Florists '
Club on June 21, the date occurring on
the opening day of the rose and straw-
berry exhibition, which attracted many
members of the craft. Through the un-
avoidable absence of J. W. Manning, the
essayist of the evening, the club dis-
cussed a variety of timely topics, all of
which proved very interesting.

President Pettigrew started the ball
rolling by calling on John K. M. L.
Farquhar to say a few words on Japan.
Mr. Farquhar did so in a very entertain-
ing mapner. He stated that he believes
there are a number of new lilies in tho
Japanese islands still unknown to us, an<l
other floral treasures. From his experi-
ence in Japan he knows that Lilium longi-
florum could be ripened in the south of

Japan early in July and believes we will
eventually depend on that ^quntry for
our main supplies. He spoke of the beati-
tiful peonies to be seen tibiere and stated
that he had seen several nelumbiums
which are not yet found in cultivation
here. Speaking of the present struggle
between Bussia and Japan, Mr. Farqu-
har said his sympathies were entirely
with Japan and he thought it would bo
best for humanity for her to win, a sen-
timent which seemed to find general ac-
ceptance in the meeting.

Some discussions arose over the Eich-
ardson seedling peonies, which it trans-
pired were named during John Rich-
ardson's lifetime by his friend, John
Hovey. The major portion of his noti^l
collection passed into the hands of Dr.
E. T. Jackson, who will be asked lo
speak on Sichardson at a future club
meeting. A strong point in favor of
these seedlings is that in the main thev
are late blooming and sweet scented.
His first seedling was certificated as far
back as 1869. W. J. Stewart and Julius
Heurlein spoke of the New York peony
show. Mr. Stewart commended the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society for
its effective exhibition arrangements.
Messrs. Beard and T. J. Grey were
heard from; the former discussed hybrid-
ization, while the latter, in his usual
inimitable way, gave some original se-
lections.

Duncan Finlayson thought . the club
should have an outing during the hot
months and suggested an ocean sail and
clam bake as about the right thing. The
matter seemed to find gfeneral favor and
was referred to the executive commit-
tee. Eefreshments were passed around
after the regular business and brought
to a close a very pleasant gathering. No
meetings will be held during July and
August. The club is now prospering ns
never before in its history and a large in-
flux of new members is expected when
the fall season opens.

Rose and Strawberry Show.

The verdict was that the June exhibi-
tion had never been surpassed, either in
quantity, quality or general arrangement.
Certainly the exhibition was a revelation
to those who imagined that roses and
other flowers would be poorly shown. So
numerous were the exhibits that the facil-
ities were all in use and one member of
the committee very generously gave up
a large number of vases he had staged
containing roses to accommodate late
comers from a distance.

The largest individual exhibitor of

roses was Miss S. B. Fay, whose gardener,
M. H. Walsh, showed close to 1,000
blooms, being the largest prize winner.
Other large and successful exhibitors were
Mrs. O. S. Paige, J. H. White, W. J.
Clemson, E. L. Lewis, Dr. C. G. Weld,
Mrs. E. M. Gill, Mrs. E. A. Wilkie, Miss
H. B. Foote, Mrs. Day Ohadwick, B. A.
Clark, Peter Cairns, A. F. Estabrook, W.
Whitman, Walter Hunnewell and others.
The keenest competition occurred in the
class for 100 bottles of roses, the prizes
going to Miss Fay, Mrs. Gill, Dr. Weld,
Peter Cairns and Walter Hunnewell in
order named. For Miss Fay's special
prizes for amateurs there were numerous
entries, some beautiful lots being staged.
Mrs. O. S. Paige, Mrs. E. A. Wilkie and
Mrs. Day Chadwick were successful. Some
of the best hybrid perpetuals shown were
Mme. Gabriel Luizet, Ulrich Brunner,
Jacqueminot, Baron de Bonstettin, Vic-
tor Verdier, Clio, Margaret Dickson, J. S.
Fay, Mrs. John Laing, Paul Neyron, Bar-
oness Eothschild, John Hippa, . Magna
Charta and Senateur Vaisse.

A very attractive exhibit of hybrid teas
from Miss H. E. Foote, of Majblehead, in
forty-five varieties attracted much atten-
tion and was awarded a bronze medal.
This lady grows 350 varieties of rosea
and has remarkable success with H. T. 's
outdoors. Some of her best varieties,
many of them new, were Bessie Brownj_
Grand Duchess, Victoria, Pauline Bersey,
General Scheblakine, Frau Peter Lambert,
Gladys Harkness, Admiral Dewey, Grace
Darling, Mme. Eavary, Marquise Litta,
Mrs. B. R. Cant, Alice Gray and Beryl.
The Arnold Arboretum showed seventy
distinct species of roses, many being very
charming. Mr. Dawson also showed a
collection of his own seedlings. Of these
Minnie Dawson (E. multiflora x alba)
with double white flowers, of multifloni
habit, received a certificate of merit.
Honorable mention was given to a large
double pink variety (Wichuraiana x Tri-
omphe de Luxembourg), A very rich
colored single variety previously certifi-
cated was R. rugosa x General Jacquemi-
not. The winning new rose was M. H.
Walsh's beautiful crimson, J. S. Fay.

There was a remarkable display of
peonies, the finest ever seen in Boston and
far outclassing that held in New York
both in numbers and quality. For dis-
play of not less than thirty named
doubles competition was keen, T. C. Thur-
low winning, followed by A. H. Fewkes,
the Means estate and Geo. Hollis. Other
large contributors of peonies were'E. .T.
Shaylor, who showed many superb sorts;
R. & .1. Farquhar & Co., who showed many

Kichardson seedlings; Mrs. J. L. Gardner,
Dr. C. G. Weld, A. F. Estabrook, Mrs.
E. M. Gill and others. The quality of
blooms was very high and the interest
taken in these flowers appeared to be even
greater than in the roses, judging by the
crowds which gathered around them.

The following varieties received awards
from the committee: Mary Louise Holli.-',
certificate of merit, daybreak pink color;
No. 732, beautiful double rose; No. 279,
white, delicately suffused with pink; No.
181, pink, broad petals, great substance;
moonlight, double deep pink; No. 491
rose color, a fine Japanese imperial va-
riety; No. 986, double white, suffused
with shrimp pink. All the foregoing re-
ceived honorable mention, A beautiful
Japanese imperial variety with guard
petals, delicate pink and yellow center
received a certificate of merit. George
HoUis showed all the foregoing and many
other good seedlings. E. J. Shaylor re-
ceived certificates of merit for those two
grand varieties. Marguerite Girard, deli-
cate flesh, and Mme. Emile Lemoine,
white, flushed carmine. Avalanche, a fine
white from A. H. Fewkes, received a
similar award.

Dr. K. T. Jackson had some gems. "Wal-
ter Faxon, rosy pink, and John Richard-
eon, rosy flesh, the latter flowered after
Mr. Richardson's death, received certifi-
cates of merit. Samuel Henshaw, in the
same collection, was the recipient of the
highest award, a silver medal. This is
a magnificent variety, stems of wonder-
ful strength, flower of immense size, in
form like a Mayflower chrysanthemum,
color beautiful light, rosy pink, tinged
^vith white. A few of the finest other
peonies noted which will be of value to
commercial growers were Mme. Geissler,
Baroness Schroeder, Mme. Lemoine, Eu-
gene Verdier, Mons. Chevreuil. Mme.
Crousse, Lady Isadore, Mme. Chaumy,
Golden Harvest, that grand old sort Fes-
tix-a maxima, Jules Elie, Myrtle. Venus,
Mme. de Verneville, Pierre Duehatre, Mil-
ton Hill and Amabilis grandiflora.

There were extensive displays of hardy
perennials from several exhibitors. Julius
Heurlein showel 100 varieties. Harvard
Botanic Gardens showed 150 varieties of
perennials and grasses. Mr. Cameron
also showed a large tank of aquatics, in-
cluding fine specimens of nymphseas and
other choice species. F. J. Rea, W. Heus-
tis & Son, C. W. Parker, W. Hunnewell,
Mrs. J. B. Lawrence and others showed
perennials.

Peter Fisher shovped large vases of
Nelson Fisher, Mrs. Patten and Enchant-
ress carnations. Patten & Son showed
Mrs. Patten. All were of fine quality
for so late in the season. There were
large displays of sweet williams and other
seasonable flowers. E. A. Clark had a
large staud of finely grown gloxinias
mixed with adiantum. Mrs. J. L. Gardner,
Wm. Thatcher, gardener, had a circular
group of palms, gloxinias, orchids, etc.
R. & J. Farquhar & Co. had numerous
palms and ferns. J. S. Bailey, J. Nylan,
gardener, put up a superb group of palms
in the center of the large hall which was
greatly admired. It contained seventy-
flve plants in forty-six varieties, including
many new and scarce sorts.

Vegetables made a fine show, while
strawberries were unusually good. Marsh-
all was once more easily the champion
variety, followed by Sample, Glen Mary,
Nich Ohmer, Minute Man and Belmont.
From Miss E. J. Clark, John Ash, gar-
dener, came a group of pot-grown fruit
trees, including peaches, nectarines,
plums, apples and pears, which received
a silver gilt m^dal. The same exhibitor
showed very flne bunches of Diamond
Jubilee and Black Hamburg grapes and
peaches.

Various Notes.

The agitation for a new independent
cut flower market appears to drag anl
it is doubtful if the new movement will
materialize, or if it materializes if it
will be a success. A number of the
aggrieved members are said to owe rent
and premiums to the present market and
their absence would not be mourned.

McMulkin, Doyle and Galvin have had
some large wedding decorations during
Juno. Trinity church was finely decor-
ated by McMulkin on June 18.

S. J. Goddard has both of his new houso'^
planted with mums and carnations and
will be strongly in evidence in the mar-
ket another fall. He is growing mar
of his carnations indoors.

W. Cooper has left the employ of W.
L. Lewis, of Marlboro, and entered with
the Worcester Conservatories. He was
connected with the Marlboro establish-
ment for a number of years.

Carnations are making a fine growth
in the fields, the warm days and cool
nights seeming to suit them. An increas-
ing number are trying indoor culture
this season.

Since Easter lilies have been so abun-
dant in all the principal cut flower mar-
kets of this country and England there
has been considerable waste, it being im-
possible to clear at any price.

The general opinion of the members

in attendance at the convention was

that the papers read were the best

in the history of the association,

but that the lack of discussion
after the reading.s was a matter to be
deplored.

The men best able to give out prac-
tical information at seedsmen's conven-
tions are usually the ones who are least
heard from on the floor. This should not
be; it is not necessary to be an orator
to be interesting. What we need is to
hear more from the fellows who are poor
talkers.

One badge of the Seed Trade Associa-
tion was honored for the admission of two
seedsmen to the reception given by the
Governor of Missouri to the visiting dele-
gates of the republican national conven-
tion. Xew England inquisitiveness was
responsible for the desire to investigate,
and Chicago nerve with the Seed Trade
badge did the rest.

SEED TRADE CONVENTION.

The St. Louis convention of the Ameri-
can Seed Trade Association last week
was one of the most successful on rec-
ord; it was the twenty-second and few
have been more largely attended. The
published program was followed in de-
tail. There was a tendency to brevity
in discussion but the subjects of the
several papers read were more than or-
dinarily timely, notably the one on the
contract system, by Mr. Vaughan, and on
insurance, by Mr. McCullough. Techni-
cal papers were read by W. W. Tracy,
Sr,, and George T. Moore, of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, and by G. H. Maxwell, the irriga-
tion expert, whose work was endorsed.
Other papers were by E. D. Darlington,
E. F. Bogardus, Mel L. Webster, F. T[.

i\mk and H. M. Schisler. All these
will be published in full in the society's
"Proceedings" and will there receive
their most careful consideration.

Officers were elected as follows: Presi-
dent. C. N. Page. Des Moines, la.; first
vice-president, L. L. May, St, Paul; sec-
one vice-president, W. H. Grenell, Sag-
inaw, Mich.; secretary and treasurer, C.

tary, F. H. Funk, Bloomington, 111.;
executive committee, S. F. Willard, L.

J. G. Peppard; membership committee,
Albert McCullough, W. L. Woodruff, A.
J. Brown. The meeting in 1905 will be
held on the St. Lawrence.

New members admitted at this meet-
ing were: D. Landreth Seed Co., Bris-
tol, Pa.; W. S. Galbraith, Indianapolis;
W, H. Maule, Philadelphia ; Crenshaw

them notable, and many expressed re-
grets that more time could not be given
to their discussion. The paper by George
H. Maxwell was so interesting and prac-
tical that a special edition of 5,000
copies was ordered printed for the use
of the members. The papers by Prof.
Tracy, Dr. Moore and F. H. Funk are
worth a careful study, and Mr.
Vaughan 's, Mr. McCullough 's and Mr.
Darlington's papers contain much food
for thought for seedmen. Mr. Webster's
and the paper by Mr. Bogardus were
revelations to us eastern seedsmen who
have not yet got accustomed to looking
westward for seeds.

The sessions were held during the fore-
noon only, to allow the members the op-
portunity of visiting the great World's
Fair, an opportunity which each em-
braced to the utmost. Thursday after-
noon the St. Louis seedsmen had three
trolley cars at the hotel, which the visit-
ing seedsmen filled to overflowing, for a
ride about the city, a visit to one of
the large breweries and refreshments at
the Missouri Botanic Garden, where the
members enjoyed the beautiful lawns
and flowers and the grateful shade of the
fine trees in this most beautiful spot.

The consensus of opinio^ was that the
twenty-second convention was the best
ever held. The choice of the next meet-
ing place lay between Atlanta and some
point on the St. Lawrence. This is to
be decided by the executive committee
at its meeting in January.

CHARLES N. PAGE.

The new president of the American
Seed Trade Association is a sou
of General C. W. Page, and was
born at Clyde, Ohio, May '29,
18(50. He removed with his pa-
rents to Omaha, Neb., in 1868, and after
his father 's death removed to Des Moines
in 1876. He was employed during the
spring of 1877 in the seed store of 8. L.
Fuller & Co. and has remained with the
same firm and its successors, C. W. Door
&t Co., and the Iowa Seed Co., ever since.
In 1886 he organized the Iowa Seed Co.,
and has since that date been its manager.
Although he never had the privilege of
attending college, he has been actively
identified with educational interests, both
as a director in the city schools and as a
trustee and member of the executive com-
mittee of the Des Moines College. His
experience of twenty-seven years in the
same seed store is certainly an unusual
one and his active participation in the
affairs of the seed trade have earned the
recognition accorded at St. Louis.

THE SEED TRADE.

F. A. Forbes, of Plymouth, Ind.,
writes : * ' Our seed business, though late,
has been quite satisfactory. Have ha«l
a nice trade in vegetable and bedding
plants, which though only taken up in
the last two years has grown to be quite
an important part of our business. Not
having facilities for growing our own
stock, the buying has in sOme cases proved
more of a problem with us than the sell-
ing. The advertising columns of the
Review have been quite a help to us in
finding the stock we wanted. ' '

GRAND RAPIDS.

The late, backward spring so retarde'l
planting out that it was not until about
ten days previous to Decoration day that
business was in full swing and then it
was pushed with a vigor that is only now
beginning to show signs of diminishing.
It was a season in which it was no trick
to get orders, the trouble being to got
them properly and promptly filled. At
Decoration day the shipping demand for
cut flowers was double the extra heavy
supply that existed and many an order
had to go out short. Little towns that in
previous years needed only 100 to 200
carnations in addition to the roses, called
for 1,000 each and later wanted more. One
noticeable feature in the retail depart-
ment was that there was less complaint,
in fact hardly any, at the price charged
for plants and cut flowers. The green-
houses are now cleared out of all salabl".
stock. There cannot be found 100 plants
of S. A. Nutt, even not in bloom. Late
propagated stock out of .3-ineh pots, and
old plants that have been under th»^
benches all winter, are now being used
for filling, etc. Now that business is be-
ginning to slack up a little, attention is
being gi%'en to replanting and bv the end
of the week this will be under full head-
way.

Wm. Cunningham is having trouble
with his water supplv and is installine a
gasoline engine, so he will not be alto-
gether dependent on the wind for filling
his tank.

Eli Cross has a laree chrysanthemum

The Market.

Business the past week was very dis-
appointing. It was considerably behind
last year, but we have to console our-
selves with the fact that this falling
off of trade is is not confined to the flor-
ists alone but nearly every other busi-
ness is suffering likewise. Never before
have I seen such a glut of carnations
during this month. During May we al-
ways expect such a state of affairs but
.Tune usually finds the supply somewhat
limited and in most cases scarcely iip
to the demand. Carnations, and all were
of extraordinarily good quality, were
sold at whatever the buyer cared to offer
and thousands found their way to the
dump. Sweet peas were almost as bad
and $1 per thousand and less were com-
mon selling figures.* Roses were scarce.
Beauties especially so, and the quality
was especially bad.

Things look much better this week,
though, and prospects are that the over-
supply of carnations is a thing of the
past. Prices are much better and there
are enough orders booked in advance to
make it certain that there will be a
good demand all through this week.

Various Notes.

The annual election of officers of the
riorists' Society was held Thursday
evening and the following members were
chosen to constitute the board of govern-

ors for the ensuing year: Geo. Murphy,.
Gus Adrian, Ben George, D. Kusconi and
Wm. Eodgers. They will meet durinj,'
the present week and choose their officers.
The entertainment furnished by the so-
ciety was first-class in every respect and"
was highly appreciated by all those pres-
ent.

The S. A. F. convention at St. Louis-
is now being talked of and I would not
be surprised 'to see a large representa-
tion of the Cincinnati craft present. Th$-
fact, too, that most all of the eastern
delegations will pass through this city
has also served to stir up interest.

BUTTE, MONT.

Butte has had some changes in the^
florist business recently. The Butte-
Floral Co. has bought out the business-
of Law Bros, and will continue their
store as the Bosary. The L<aw green-
houses will be used for the potted plants.
The Butte Company's plant at Gregsoik
will be devoted to roses. Bobt. Miller,,
from Natick, Mass., will have charge
of the Gregson plant and G. Seitz will
be in charge of the plant at Butte.
O. A. C. Oehmler is at the Butte Floral
Co. store and A. C. Wilhelm at th*
Bosary.

The State Nursery Co. is pushing car-
nations at its Butte store, offering thenv
as low as 25 cents per dozen the pastr
week, the other stores selling them for
75 cents and $1 per dozen.

We had a heavy snow storm June L'2"
and flurries all through the day. It was
down to 32 degrees at 8 a. m. and over-
coats and furs are worn here.

Stock here is very good and the cut
equal to the demand.

The Butte Floral Co. lost severnr
boxes of cut stock on the recent hold-up-
on the Northern Pacific. They fared
the same when the train was held up a
year ago.

The Florists' Club will elect officera
at the next meeting.

NURSERY NEWS.

AMERICAN V^SSOCMTION OF NURSERYMEN.

Pres., E. W. Klrkpatrlck, McKlnney, Tex.;
Vlce-Pres., C. L. Watrous. Des Moineb; Sec'y,
G^o. C. Seager, Rocheuter; Treaa., C. L,. Yateti,

held at West Baden, Ind., June, IVNK.

NURSERYMEN'S CONVENTION.

, The Aiiiericau Association of Nur«ery-
UH n held its twenty-ninth annual meeting
at Atlanta, Ga., last week. The attend-
ance was very satisfactory, although not
up to the record of recent years, the dis-
tance from recognized nursery centers
probably accounting for the falling off.
There was, however, an attendance of
many who are not usually present, and it
is felt to be well worth while to carry
the flag into new fields.

C. L. Watrous occupied the chair, ow-
ing to the absence of both President N.
W. Hale and Vice-President Frank A.
Weber. The prearranged program of
I)aperH and discussions was not followed
because of the absence of a number of
those to whom topics had been assigned.
But it is never the regular program of
the meetings which supplies the incentive
for attendance at the conventions of this
association, however attra«tive the pro-
grams may be. Business counts for more
than anything else with the nurserymen.

The president 's address suggested sev-
eral matters for consideration, among
them increasing the dues to provide
funds for the prosecution of such work
as securing uniform inspection laws,
freight rates and classifications on nur-
sery stock and the abolition of the un-
warranted licenses now imposed on nur-
serymen in certain states. The insurance
committee reported a plan for mutual
insurance. The committee on legislation
reported lack of progress on a national
inspection law. An advance in freights
was reported by the committee on trans-
portation. Committees were appointed
to attend meetings of traffic officials and
plead the cause of the nurserjmen.

Interesting papers were read by G. L.
Taber, Glon St. Mary, Fla. ; H. T. Jones,
Elizabeth, X. J.; H. P. Kelsey, Boston;
Prof. Newell, state entomologist of
Georgia; J. H. Hale, of Georgia and Con-
necticut; J. H. McFarland, of Harris-
burg. Pa.; J. C. Chase, New Hampshire;
C. T. Smith, Concord, Ga. ; G. H. Powell,
Washington; Prof, cTohn Craig, of Cor-
nell, and others.

The election of officers resulted as fol-
lows: l^resident, E, W. Kirkpatrick, Mc-
Kinney, Tex. ; vice-president, C. L. Wat-
rous, Des Moines, la.; secretary, Geo.
C. Seager, Rochester; treasurer, C. L.
Yates, Koihester. One vice-president for
each state was appointed as usual. It
was voted to meet next year at West
Baden, Ind.

The several protective associations held
their annual meetings during the con-
vention. Each reported a prosperous year
and officers were re-elected.

The local hospitalities consisted of an
old-fashioned barbacue, and on Friday
morning the nurserymen were taken on a
special train for a visit to the peach or-
chards of Berckmans Bros., J. H. Hale
and others in the vicinity of Mayfield
and Ft. Vallev.

The popular old Wilson blackberry
seems to have nearly run its course in
many districts.

E. W. KIRKPATRICK.

The newly elected president of the
American Association of Nurserymen
was born in Jefferson county, Tenn., in
1844. In 1856 his parents removed- to
Texas. In the large family of children
there were only two boys, and it was the
lot of the elder, the subject of this sketch,
when still young to be the aid of his
widowed mother. In 1874 Mr, Kirkpat-
rick established a nursery at McKinney,
Texas, and the business prospered. He
has taken much interest in horticultural
subjects of all kinds, and has ever been
eager to learn new ideas and to give as-
sistance and encouragement to everyone
in that line. The Texas Nursery Co., of

E. W. Kirkpatrick.

President Am. Association of Murserymen.

Sherman, is the outgrowth of the former
nursery. Mr. Kirkpatrick has for years
been a regular attendant at the conven-
tions of the national society and his elec-
tion as its head is a merited recognitiou
of his efforts in its behalf.

EVERGREEN SEEDLINGS.

C. H. Joosten recently protested
against the assessment of duty on an
importation of evergreen seedlings en-
tered at the port of New York. The
seedlings of various evergreen trees were
classified under the provision in para-
graph 2.52, tariff act of 1897, for "ever-
green seedlings," and were claimed lo
be dutiable under the provision in the
same paragraph for ' * stocks, cuttings
and seedlings of all fruit and ornamentJil
trees, deciduous and evergreen, not
specially provided for." The board of
general appraisers • overruled the pro-
test.

All nursery stock exported to Austra-
lia M'ill be fumigated on its arrival there.

The Revue Horticole announces the
death, on May .5 last, of the distinguished
French horticulturist, Felix Sahut. lie
was one of the first to discover, in asso-
ciation with Planchon, the phylloxera on
the roots of the grape vine in the neigh-
borhood of Montpelier, France. He was
also one of the most active In advocating
and practicing the introduction of Amer
ican resistant vines on which to graft
the wine-producing varieties.

Greenwood, Ind, — J, O, Bishop says
tliat business was very good this spring.
He has already put up a new. house for
carnations and expects to put up still
more glass this summer. '

Frankfort, Ind. — H. M. Humfield has
a banana tree which has ripened a bunch
containing thiry-five fruits, which he is
selling at 25 cents apiece to those who
have a desire to partake of home grown
fruit.

MoLiNE, III. — The Tri-City Florists'
Club met with Wm. Knees June 16 and
decided to hold a picnic for members and
families in July, probably at Campbell's
island. T, Ewoldt, of Davenport, fur-
nished a strawberry treat from his beds.
J. T. Temple, of Davenport, brought
over a basket of many varieties of peo-
nies and they were examined closely, for
the members believe that this is one of
the coming flowers of the day.

PACIFIC COAST.

Elmhurst, Cal.— Paul W. A, Grallert
is prepariBg to put up two carnation
houses 22x100 using King's roof con-
struction. He will also put up three as-
paragus houses 15x100 with old material.
These are not ''the largest houses on the
<oa8t, " as a local newspaper recently
«tated.

Santa Cruz, Cal. — Thos. Thompson
has had a two weeks' siege with malaria
but is now convalescent. He has about
400 plants of Richardia Elliottiana that
he has raised from seed. They are
growing vigorously, planted out of doors
and the "bed of yellow callas" is
quite an attract! jn. Geo. Butler & Son
have secured a good piece of land near
the Odd Fellows' cemetery upon which
they will soon erect two houses 20x150
each and later add numerous other
bouses. The new range will be man-
aged by Geo. Butler and the old plant
•will be cared for by the son, but flowers
•will be abandoned and both ranges will
be devoted to cucumbers.

SEA WATER.

Our water supply is inadequate and,
as we are located near a tidewater river,
I have been trying to demonstrate
■whether the salt water would be injurious
to grass and hardy plants. So far I have
seen no ill effects but you will confer a
favor by stating what proportion of salt
such plants will stand. Napa.

The ordinary varieties of hardy plants
and grasses do not need any salt fertiliz-
ing although a small quantity occasionally
^does not seem to injure them. In ordin-
ary salt water the percentage of salt is
about twenty pounds to the hundred gal-
lons of water. It is, of course, out of the
Question to use water of this description
regularly and it must be that the cor-
respondent takes his water from the river
at a higher point than where the salt from
the bay impregnates the fresh water that
flows down the river and if no ill effects
fcave resulted from the use of the water it
is because there is not a superabundance
of salt in it. He is therefore perfectly
safe in continuing to use it freely.

There are many varieties of salt and
marsh grasses that thrive only where they
receive frequent bathings in sea water
but they are not used usually in gardens
and their scope is confined entirely to
waste and boggy places.

Rock salt as a fertilizer is used exten-
sively on the Pacific coast for various
kinds of vegetables and especially aspara-
gus- ' G.

LOS ANGELES.

Trade and Market

The summer is now on in full blast
and it is beginning to have its effect
upon the flowers. The florists are hav-
ing great diflSculty in obtaining enough
decent stock to fill their stores or orders.

Business has been very good, owing to
the numerous June weddings and gradu-
ation exercises and the demand for flow-
ers for the past week has far exceeded
the supply. The prices are low, but
are high enough for the quality of the
flowers.

This condition is not surprising to
the. dealers, as they have this same trou-

ble to contend with every summeir. How-
ever, it came on about a month earlier
this season than usual and has been a
great drawback to the June trade. It
is very hard to explain to the average
customer the reason for not having bet-
ter flowers, for as a rule they fail to
realize that plants need a rest in Cali-
fornia as well as in the east.

Carnations, the most popular and all
around useful flower, are the ones that
are missed the most, but it will not be
long, about three or four weeks, I think,
before they will be in again in sufficient
quantities to supply the summer de-
mand, and I have every reason to believe
that the quality will be much better and
the price more steady.

The month of May was a record-
breaker in the output of carnations, and
it is believed that for the first time in
the history of Los Angeles, carnations
were used as the general decorating
flower on Memorial day. The supply was
enormous and the price low enough to be
within reach of all. Ever since May 23
carnations have been selling at 25 cents
per hundred, wholesale, and for Memorial
daj' purposes they retailed at from 20 to
25 cents per bunch of fifty.

Roses are scarce and the quality poor.
Sprengeri and plumosus in strings arc
plentiful, but plumosus sprays are hard
to get. Centaurea is quite plentiful and
has been resorted to by the florists, in
absence of better flowers, for founda-
tions of floral designs. They are now
wholesaling for 50 cents per hundred.

Sweet peas are bringing from $1 to
$1.50 per thousand and the supply is
holding out quite well, although they are
beginning to get scarce now.

Various Notes.

T>. R. Woods, of Wilmington, has pur-
chased a half interest in the nursery of
the Ingleside Floral Co., located at the
corner of Adams and Main streets.

E. R. Meserve is making some exten-
sive additions to his lath houses and ex-
pects to fill them with plumosus and
smilax.

Morris Goldensen is contemplating a
trip east in the near future and will visit
the World's Fair before his return.

E. J. Vawter, president of the Ocean
Park Floral Co., informs me that the
carnation output of the gardens at Ocean
Park for the week prior to May 30
amounted to over 250,000 blooms and that
the fields have recently been extended
several acres. He is also enlarging his
propagating house to a considerable ox
tent. R. B. H.

The Market

Business has reached the stagnation
stage. A very few weddings are still on
tapis, but the schools are all closed
and everyone with money to spend has
gone to the country, so the florists are
having a quiet time. Funerals are out of
fashion also. Flowers, except good
roses, are not plentiful although we prob-
ably have enough to supply the small de-
mand. We have had very cool weather
for the past two weeks, so that stock docs
not exhibit that washed out appearance
that we were getting used to during the
recent warm spell. Carnations, except such
varieties as Joost, Scott and Portia, are
not over-plentiful and still bring about
$2 per hundred. The varieties I have
just mentioned can be had at from 75
cents to $1 per hundred. The street

DORCHESTER, MASS.

There wei'e no more sincere mourners
en account of the untimely death of L. IT.
Foster than his faithful assistants, Dan-
iel E. Sullivan and Philip J. McGrath.
Mr. Sullivan's loyalty covered a period
of twenty-four years and Mr. McGrath
has spent the last eleven years in Mr.
Foster's service. Mr. Sullivan says he
believes there are few men in the profes-
sion who could think as much of their em-
])loye8 as Mr. Foster. As a practical evi-
dence of his appreciation Mr. Foster, in
his will, left all his real estate and per-
sonal property on King street, Dorchester,
including the land and greenhouses and
the personal property at the greenhouses
on Wrentham street, to Messrs. Sullivan
and McGrath and on the settlement of the
estate they will assume full possession
of the same. In the meantime the busi-
ness will lie continued in behalf of Miss
Edith Foster. The best wishes and good
will of the trade in and around Boston
are extended to these gentlemen and sin-
cere congratulations on their good for-
tune and the reward that has demon-
strated the value of honorable and loyal
devotion to the interests of one's em-
ployer. J. Austin Shaw.

ANTS.

A subscriber inquires as to the best
way of destroying these troublesome lit-
tle creatures. If it is indoors there are
several poisons that will destroy them,
but if it is on the lawn and they are
throwing up their hills it is hard to
kill them without killing the grass. For
use under glass here are two prescrip-
tions, both poison, and should be used
with caution:

Boil one ounce of ordinary arsenic in
one quart water till it is reduced to one
pint, then add one-half pound coarse
sugar. This mixture can be dropped
about the run and nests. The ants will
sample it and retire to the happy hunt-
ing grounds.

Mix together one part of calomel and
ten parts of pulverized white sugar and
lay around their haunts. The ants will
taste it and wish they hadn't.

I have consulted the superintendent of
a large and beautiful cemetery who hss
been fighting ant hills for years and
he says, after trying several receipts,
he finds the only effectual plan is to
scald the hills, then remove the sod and
a few inches of earth and again give an-
other application of boiling water to
make sure there are no ants or eggs left
alive, and then renew with fresh sod.

HOUSE FOR GREENS.

■'' Does Asparagus, plumosus require the
full Bun to do its best? I Avant to builtl
a house for asparagus and smilax and
all the place I have is on the north side
of a building, where it would have the
«uu only about half the day.

' W. E. n.

Asparagus plumosus requires plenty
■of light, though not full exposure to the
«ua during the summer months, it being
necessary to apply a light shading to
the glass in the early summer and to
■continue this until about October 1 in
an ordinary season. It is probable that
^ou may grow smilax and asparagus
fairly well in a north house, though it
"would not be as much under control
-during the winter season as tjiough it
"were planted in a bouse with a more
favorable exposure. A night tempera-
ture of 65 . degrees is the best for the
asparagus, but the smilax will do well
in a slightly lower temperature.

KANSAS CITY,

Trade no better than last week. The
writer dropped down to Independence,
Mo., last Thursday afternoon. Florists
and their places all looked very prosper-
ous. Took a look through the Walnut
Hill greenhouses and met the proprietor,
"E. G. Bunyar, who is more than pleased
"with this spring's business. He says he
lias done more this year than ever. He
is not going to do any building, only
«ome repairing.

Miss M. Dalley, one of our lady flor-
ists, left last Saturday and sailed the
following Wednesday for Europe, to be
■gone three months on a pleasure trip to
lier old home in England.

Our little florist, Charlie Laundy, of
"Westport, took unto himself a wife last
"Wednesday, and we all wish him hap-
piness.

Mrs. Lydia Augar, the lady florist, of
Port Wayne, Ind., stopped off here last
"Wednesday on her way to Coffeyville,
Kan. L. M. S.

Sprinqfieu), III. — A. C. Brown will
abandon the old site of his greenhouses,
platting the property into building lots.

Stratham, N. H. — A. IT. Craig &
"Son will increase their glass area this
year about 5,000 square feet. They in-
tend to do something in the wholesale
pldfit line and also to handle nursery
«tork.

^_ NITRATE OF SODA.

It is scarcely necessary to say that this
is a most useful stimulant, and of all
4irtificial manures none gives quicker re-
sults or needs using with more care and
discretion. Much damage is often done
by those using it without a proper knowl-
■€dge of its nature and effects. An ounce
to the square yard is 250 pounds to the
acre, and this is the utmost that should
•€ver be applied at one time, and it would
be better to give only half an ounce, and
repeat the dressing a fortnight later. It
is a very soluble manure, and hence of
^uick action, though, on the other hand,
it is soon washed down into the subsoil,
out of the reach of the roots. Its effect
is seen in the dark green color of the
foliage, and this increased vigor is com-
municated to the roots, thus enabling
them to lay hold of the more or less in-
soluble plant food of the soil with great-
er power, and to dissolve it by the action
of the root-sap.

Farmers say nitrate of soda is an ex-
iiausting manure, and doubtless it is, by
virtue of its increasing the power of the
plant to absorb the plant food in the
•soil. Of course, it is only a partial ma-
nure, but provided a good supply of
■phosphate is applied also, and there is
a fair amount of potash in the soil, as
-there usually is in any repeatedly ma-
nured ground, there need be no fear
-of exhausting the soil, while very gojd
■results will be obtained by its judicious
cise.

Nitrate of soda is often very lumpy,
and it should always be broken up bo-
fore using, so that there are no lumps
bigger than peas. It has the effect of
lowering the temperature of water, and
therefore, of the soil containing it. Any-
one can prove this for himself by dis-
solving some in a pail of water. When
used as a liquid manure half an ounce
to the gallon of water is sufficiently
strong, and if the soil is very dry It
would be best to give some plain water
first, or some of the tender rootlets may
be damaged. In scattering nitrate on
the soil care should be taken that it does
not rest on the leaves of plants in active
growth, as it will injure them if it does.

Care is especially necessary in apply-
ing nitrate to fruit trees. It should never
be given them unless they are carrying
heavy crops of fruit, or it will induce
rankness of growth at the expense of
fruitfulness. It should not be given to
them after July in any circumstances,
as it will cause a late summer growth,
which never becomes properly ripened,
and is, therefore, not fruitful. Some
fruit growers give a small dressing of
nitrate just before the trees blossom, to
aid in setting the fruit — a rather critical
time in cold springs. Tomatoes should
not receive nitrate until two trusses of
blossom have set their fruit, or it will
induce too much growth. Afterwards it
causes the fruit to swell very rapidly.
The carrying of the fruit insures a well-
balanced growth. With vegetables, whore
we want vigorous growth and cannot
well have too much of it, the case is
different. With all the cabbage family
good returns follow the use of nitrate,
half a pound to the twenty square yards
being applied every two or three weeks
during the growing season until August
when we want the growth to harden.
Beets, onions, carrots, and parsnips
should have a dressing twice during the
season at the same rate, early in June,
and again in July. It is as well to
lightly hoe it in. Peas and beans do not
need nitrate. Asparagus profits by a
dressing of nitrate, not only during the
cutting season, but during the siimmei,
too, when it is storing up plant food in
the roots for the growths of the follow-
ing spring. The same with rhubarb.

With flowers a good deal of discre-
tion is necessary in the use of nitrate,
as in some we prize vigorous foliage, and
in others we want as much bloom ns
possible, and do not mind how little foli-
age there may be, while if there is much
rank foliage we do not secure so much
blossom, as, for instance, with gera-
niums. Most annuals are more or less
greedy feeders, and will profit by having
a little nitrate lightly worked in the
soil among them, and watered in. If
they have a sufficiently well-cultivated
soil to give them a good root run, they
make a splendid response to it, but if
the worked soil is shallow, as it often is
among perennial plants, and the plants
have not been properly spaced out. it
only increases their weakness and untidy
tangle. — Alger Petts in the Gardeners '
Chronicle.

CAPAQTY OF BOILER.

I have a bouse 11x100 feet, seven feet
Bix inches to the ridge, even span, sasli
bars six feet eight inches long. Thcio
are about 1,600 square feet of glass, one
side being boarded and the other having
twenty-six inches glass. Will a Florida,
Jr., boiler No. 502 with seventeen inches
grate be large enough to heat this to 50
degrees when it is 10 degrees below zero
outside? N. W.

Your house requires 400 feet of radia-
tion, to heat which it will take a boiler
with at least fifty square feet of heating
surface, i. e., surface in the boiler ex-
posed to heated gases. I do not have the
rating of the Florida, Jr., boiler No, 502,
with seventeen inches grate. The manu-
facturers, however, can give you these fie-
ures. The piping for your house should be
so arranged as to give the boiler sufficient
radiation to heat the house without work-
ing to its full capacity. If you use 2-
inch pipe seven runs of pipe with the
water at 180 degrees will give you ample
heat, provided the pipe is properly ar-
ranged. L. C. C.

BOARDING.

What had one ought to charge for
wintering palms three feet high in 7-
inch pots insuring against accidents,
and returning them to the OAvners in
the spring? W. E. H.

The cost of boarding plants for the
winter depends upon various circum-
stances, the most equitable method be-
ing to base a charge upon so much per
square foot of space occupied, but if
they are to be insured in all respects
it would be safer to charge from twenty-
five to fifty per cent of the value of
the plant and to establish a minimum
charge of say 50 cents for an average
plant of the size specified. It is diffi-
cult to establish a rule in this matter,
for much depends upon the class of cus-
tomers one has to deal with, but unless
a fair charge is made the boarding busi-
ness is an unprofitable one.

\i :^^

South Bend. Ind.. April 4. 1904.
"Superior to any Hot Water Bofler we have ever
oaed. You certainly have placed the right name to your
Boilers, no effort at all to Iceep the temperature at de-
sired points when zero weather comes. Night after
night the past severe winter weather gave your Boiler
a good test. We are more than pleased with the Super-
ior Boiler." Yours truly, Treanor & Rettic.

THE HARP.

A Large Piece Loosely Trimmed.

This frame is lined and filled and cov-
ered like the one in our last study. The
strings are bronzed before any of the
flowers or green are put in. The cutting
of the second string may be done at any
time before or after the piece is finished
by snipping with heavy nippers. After
covering the frame with the usual green
background, trail smilax from the right
hand corner of the scroll which forms
the top of the frame, around all the out-
side edge to the base, excepting the up-
right column which forms the right hand
side of the harp. A new feature of this
design is the heavy lining of the lower
edge of the top. The material is white
carnations. Why this is done on this par-
ticular part of the harp, rather than on
any other, is that this is the thickest
and most massive part of the pieca. The
background of the entire piece is of Lord
Beaconsfield pansies. Stem these singly
on half picks, observing the same general
directions for stemming as have been
given for roses. Set the pick about half
an inch below the flower. You will find
it convenient to have some fine wire cut
in about 4-inch lengths for stemming
flowers of this size. Fill the right
standard of the piece solid with the pan-
sies on three sides of the frame, front
and two edges. Extend this background
down well onto the base to make a higher
effect and thus lend a stately air to the
piece. Cover the front and inside edge
of the opposite side of the piece and the
front of the top with the same back-
ground of pansies. This finished, you
have so far a harp of blue pansies with
a lining of white under the top. This is
the harp proper. The base should have
only the plain green background.

The Trimming.

According to the principle for cutting
and stemming roses discussed previously,
prepare Bride roses for the top cluster,
the left side and the base. Select the
larger and more fully blown for the
thick part of the scroll which forms the
top of the harp. Set them in rather close-
ly, allowing two or three to straggle
downward over the pansy background of
the right standard. Just where this clus-
ter is, is the heaviest part of the piece,
except the base. Develop this proportion
by bulking the cluster right at this point,
and gradually thinning the spray as it
turns upward to the left and then falls
to the slender part toward the left end
of the top, where the frame is narrow
enough to admit of but a single line of
buds. Considerable care will be needed
at the thick part of the cluster to turn
the roses both ways.

Leaving a perceptible interval between
the tip of the top cluster and rhe start
of the cluster which trims the !oft side,
follow the proportion and dirwtion of
the left side of the frame with a cluster
to suit. This second cluster droops, but

does not cover the entire background of
the left side. It ends rather more ab-
ruptly at the bottom than the top clus-
ter, and is not so marked in its char-
acter. The upper tip of this cluster was
composed of cape jasmine. A third
cluster takes its source at the base and
completes the rose trimming of the piece.
The lower portion of it is set in rather
closely on the base, and about a half
dozen of long, unequal length stems train
up toward the cluster on the left side
above, while the longest and most grace-
ful rose of all is pinned against the in-
side of the right standard nnd falls

the cyperus leaves singly on whole picks
inside the lower ends of the stems, and
the marguerites in groups of from three
to five or six on a pick. Select various
length stems for each group. Scatter
them from the extreme right of the base
through among the roses and the strings
of the harp. Where there is as good
a support as the harp string, seize the
opportunity to wire them to the support
somewhere behind a leaf where the tie
cannot show. Intensify the color effect
by planting a group of the daisies against
the lower end of the pansy standard.
Do not be over-anxious to display a full
front view of every flower, but let one
here and there be modestly disappear-
ing. Insert from the rear of the base
two or three more long cyperus leaves,
so that they will appear in perspective
behind the strings. This will add depth
and distance effect so often lacking in
floral designs.

If any difficulty occurs in holding such
trimming as the cyperus leaves and the
marguerites in place, guy them to the
frame with a single strand of No. 36

loosely in between the strings. To either
side of the base are attached two or three
drooping roses falling according to their
own sweet will.

The Base.

To balance the heavy appearance of
the slanting standard, start a group of

be seen.

Have the harp strings as fine as pos-
sible. This is the reason the bronzed
wire is to be preferred to strands of
green.

An Important Requirement.

One of the most important require-
ments of a good floral design is a uni-
form background which conforms strict-
ly to the outline of the piece. One of

the most pertinent criticisms that is made
on a loosely arranged design is that the
form of the piece is not distinctly pre-
served. But it is possible to construct
a well-defined piece and still work in
plenty of art. Construct first, trim last.
In the harp herewith presented the rose
clusters seem to cling to rather than form
the piece, and that is their sole mission
here.

Other color combinations for this same
piece might be something like the fol-
lowing: Perle roses and bronze pansies
shaded into dark brown, dark at the
base and lighter on the top. Marguerites
would be just as appropriate, and even
more so with the yellow and brown;
Bridesmaid or La France roses with dark
purple pansies; silvered strings with vio-
let and white. Gertrude Bi>air.

NEW DAHLIAS.

Among the notable novelties of the
year 1904 are the set of dahlias of H.

Hornsveld, of Baam, Holland, which were
awarded a first-class certificate of merit
by the Dutch Horticultural Society. These
very large-flowering single or semi-double
varieties have extra long stems and are
therefore a valuable acquisition for those
who grow dahlias for cut flower work.
The four varieties which were certificated
are:

Queen Wilhelmina, pure white, very
large flowers, borne on extra long stems,
far above the foliage; Ihike Henry, of
a soft red color, on stems like the pre-
ceding; G. Baron de Grancy, cream white,
half double flower of excellent form, the
inner petals bent a little inward; Glory
of Baarn, soft rose with pink reverse, a
magnificent variety and very free flower-
ing.

These varieties will be exhibited at
the Dusseldorf international exhibition
this summer and will afterward be dis-
tributed to the trade by H. Copijn &
Son, of Groenekan, Utrecht, Holland.

CARRIEEMDVER STOCK.

We have some fine Bridesmaid and
Bride roses at the present time, grown
in our greenhouses the second year. We
gave the roses a rest of four weeks,
cutting them back to about ona foot
and started in earnest, and forced them
out the first week in June. The eye*
broke out nicely, about one-third of them
having a thin, yellow look. We removed
the old soil, but not deep enough to dis-
turb the roses in the least, and filled
same up again with good fresh soil.
Kindly advise what you think of the
situation? Do you think they will turn
out better next month, or would you sug-
gest putting them out and replanting
them? Kindly advise the best and rao^t
profitable way to do. C. E. S.

This method of culture, as I have
often pointed out, requires a greater
amount of skill, attention and labor than
young stock requires and, unless carried
out by an expert, the results arc seldom
satisfactory. Some few experts who have
adopted this method have had wonder-
fully good results, but the majority of
growers are content as yet to experi-
ment along these lines on a very limited
scale.

These roses were apparently treated
all right up to a certain point, where
they were forced out the first week of
June. By reducing the stock to a semi-
dormant condition, forcing, which should
never under any conditions be applied to

a rose, was where the mistake was made.

After the first good watering was
given, water should have been applied
very sparingly; in fact, little more than
a syringing twice a day during bright
weather being necessary until root ac-
tion was again well established, a fact
which would be indicated by the appear-
ance of well developed leaves of a good
texture and color and young wood of a
firm and stocky character. Then water-
ing could be gradually resumed and full
ventilation be given.

The indications are that they have
been subjected to too high temperature
and have been given too much water be-
fore they were in a fit state to use it.
It is possible that with judicious care
in watering and ventilating they may
do better next month, but where root
action has been destroyed as has evident-
ly been the case and aa the season is
well along the prospects for success
would be greater if the house were re-
planted with young healthy stock.

PLANTING BEAUTY.

In my notes in the Review of June 16,
when advising the early or rather June
planting of Beauties, I had before me
copies of the records of Beauty rrops
for some years back, ihese records were
taken from houses planted as early as
April and as late as the end of July and
at intermediate dates and the balance
has in all cases been in favor of June
planted stock. Keeping in touch with
some of the largest and best Beauty
growers in the country, and occasionally
feeling their pulse, I have found that
this is the prevailing idea and one which
is largely acted upon.

In the Review of Juna 23 "Phil"

points out that by keeping to this
method we are apt to get into a rut,
a fact which I cheerfully admit, but
when this same rut leads to success we do
not need to care how deep it is. He
instances one of our best and largest
growers as having left that rut and suc-
cessfully made one for himself. No doubt
there are a great many thinfjs t> be
learned in Beauty growing and, person-
ally, I am glad to hear of any new de-
parture which has proved a success,
only this with me, as with many others,
is no new departure.

Granted that during the spring months
this late planted stock produces large
crops of most excellent quality, by the
time the plants are ready to do this they
are handicapped so far in number of
blooms cut, when compared with tlie
earlier planted stock which has been do-
ing yeoman's duty during November, De-
cember and January, when prices also
are at the best, that, all else being equal,
they cannot, as my records prove, pro-
duce nearly so many dollars by the end
of the season. Moreover, if the earlier
planted stock be handled as skillfully
as their younger congeners they are cap-
able of producing as good crops during
the early summer months. .

One of our principal reasons for June
planting is that the young stock, in the
freer possibilities of the bench, are less
liable to receive a check than if allowed
to remain in the pots during the hot
days of June.

As "Phil" correctly surmises, my ex-
perience of late years has been in the
middle west, where we were accustomed
to excessive heat during June (these con-
ditions are materially altered during the
past three years) and consequently my
notes would naturally be more likely to
suit conditions there, but as I have now
joined the ranks of eastern growers my
opinions are liable to considerable mod-
ifications, and as my stock will this year
be all of late July planting I will have
ample opportunity to test this tneory.
Having no early planted stock with
which to make comparison, I -will still
have to rely on past experience, which
proves that in all but a few cases the
June planted stock is the most reliable
and as compared with stock planted in
July the most remunerative.

NEWPORT, R. L

The Newport Horticultural Society
held a very successful rose show on June
21 and 22. The display of roses to
fill a space of six feet by three feet
was an excellent one. The first prize, a
silver cup, went to E. T. Gerry, Arthur
GriflSn, gardener, for a very artistically
arranged stand, his Mme. Gabriel Luizet
being very fine. There were five other
entries in this class. Mr. Griffin secured
a silver medal for a table of nicely
flowered plants of the new everblooming
rambler, Mme. Norbert Levavasseur. He
also received a number of other prizes
in the classes for table centerpieces and
foliage plants.

Most of the rose classes were well
contested. Gardenias, which are prime
favorites in Newport, were also well
shown. First prize for the best corsage
bouquet from assistant gardeners went
to one containing gardenias. Vegetables
were well shown and some good fruit was
staged. In Mr. Griffin's winning collec-
tion of strawberries, the English varie-
ties, Laxton's Noble and Royal Sovereign,
were extra good. • John Ash, gardener to

RENEWING THE BENCH SOIL.

Popular Belief in Necessity.

The article under this heading in the
Review for June 9, by your able corre-
spondent, Mr. William Scott, has been
read with much interest. The question
was sent to the Eeview some time ago,
and the thorough consideration which Mr.
Scott has given to the question makes
the answer of considerably more value.

The question why greenhouse men
change their soil for certain crops each
year would seem at first a very simple
one, but the characteristic answers one
is likely to receive in reply to such a
question would indicate, as Mr. Scott
has pointed out, that most of the flor-
ists do not know, or at least have not

a very clear conception, why they do
this.

As to the matter of using the soil a
second season for certain crops, the prac-
tice of the best growers is undoubtedly
correct, since experience has shown too
often that failure results. This fact
alone would be a sufiicient reason for not
using it two years in succession, at least
so long as such results follow. All
greenhouse soils, however, are not re-
newed each year. For example, lettuce
soils are better the longer they are used
and cucumbers and other crops thrive
well in old soil. There are in use in
Massachusetts to-day some soils which
have been utilized for lettuce for twen-
ty-five consecutive years without chang-
ing, although such soil may occasionally
be used for a crop of cucumbers, rad-
ishes, etc.

Reasons for Renewing Soils.

Mr. Scott has enumerated three prin-
cipal reasons why the same soil is not
used the second year. They are rea-
sons which I think would be invariably
accepted by good, intelligent growers.
These reasons, condensed, are as follows:

First, the crop has taken the essential
elements from the soil which they need.

Second, fibre has been utilized and de-
stroyed and mechanical conditions mod-
ified.

Third, fungus and insect pests have
been increased.

These three reasons are stated more
extensively and explicitly by Mr. Scott,
but for our purpose we condense the
same. In regard to the last two reasons
we are in full accord with the writer and
it is only the first one that we wish to
discuss. Before discussing the matter,
however, we will briefly touch upon a few
points relating to our experience.

An Experience With Roses.

We have grown American Beauty roses
in the same soil for two years and we
met with the customary trouble before we

had got very far along with the second
crop. Our crop was an experimental one,
in which we were testing the influence
of aoll texture on the development of
roses, and we did not wish to go to the
expense of changing the soil. We were,
of course, well aware that we were vio-
lating the rules and going contrary to
the results of the experience and prac-
tice of the best experts, but, since we do
not market our plants, failure to grow
the crop did not embarrass us. Before,
however, we had gone very far with the
second year crop about two-thirds of the
plants became sickly and many died.
Careful examination of the plants showed
no fungus or insect enemies at work;
neither wiere there any eel worms. The
trouble was one which affected the roots
and since no organisms were found we
looked elsewhere for the causes of the
trouble.

The soil represented variations in text-
ure, and they were taken from different
places and mixed with sod and cow man-
ure, according to prescribed formulas.
One bench, however, did not have any
sod added to it. The second year crop
was set in this same soil in August, 1903,
the only changes in the beds being the
addition of some cow manure very care-
fully incorporated. No sod was added to
the soil at the time of setting the sec-
ond crop. During the first year, liquid
manure was applied as usual but only
a limited amount was used during the
early period of the second crop. Some
soil was taken six feet below the surface
of the ground, others were surface soils
and others had been used for cucumber
crops, etc. It will be seen that the soils
were a variable lot and had been used
for different purposes, yet as far as
the dying of the plants was concerned
there, was comparatively no difference
which could be attributed to the behavior
of the soils.

The Giuse and Remedy.
The question naturally arises, what

caused the plants to become abnormal
asd die? Chemical tests of every bed
sfibwed such a preponderance of abnor-
mal constituents that it was a wonder
that plants could thrive in such soil.
The acidity of the soil was in every case
high and the amount of sulphates, chlor-
ides, ammonia and nitrates were excess-
ive. Our soil was not treated differently
* from that of the best growers, except,
perhaps, that the plants were Jiot fed
so highly as some growers feed them.

In order to apply a remedy for this
trouble, all the beds were completely
flooded with water and the roses were
cut back, with the result that all made a
quick recovery and no further loss of
plants was experienced. The flooding
of the beds lasted from one hour to one
and a half hours each. A number of
samples of percolated water were gathered
and tested. We found by this practice
that the acidity was greatly reduced and
the excess of sulphates, chlorides, ni-
trates, etc., was washed out.

Soils Not Exhausted.

These results show that where crops
are highly fed the soil becomes filled with
various detrimental constituents and
causes certain plants to become sickly and
die when grown in such soil. Probably
in no instance does the rose plant ex-
haust the soil of any of the essential
elements, for greenhouse soils usually
contain a large amount of available ma-
terial at the start and, moreover, they
are well supplied with additional food.

Lettuce soils seldom appear to get into
this condition, although they are liberally
supplied with horse manure, containing
straw, etc., every year. Occasional
troubles are experienced with lettuce and
cucumber soil where attempts have been
made to apply other kinds of manure and
fertilizers.

The writer has started a third crop
of roses in the same soil as described,
the same having been washed out thor-
oughly before planting. "With the ap-
plication of sod to increase the fibre there
appears to be no reason why roses will
not do something in such a soil^ but
whether this practice would be desirable
for commercial growers remains to be
seen, or at any rate it remains to be
seen whether by washing soils and ap-
plying organic matter in the form of de-
composed sod we can put them in as good
condition as they were at first.

If washing out soils and supplying
them with fibre would give as good re-
sults as those obtained from newly pre-
pared soil, it would be advantageous in
many cases to follow this practice. The
rose plant has a limited root develop-
ment and cannot be considered a heavy
feeder. One of the principal reasons
why soil has to be changed for such crops
is because heavy feeding renders the soil
constipated, as it were, and it needs a
laxative or a purgative to rectify it.
Outdoor roses will stand heavy feeding
because there is a better chance of the
fertilizer constituents becoming washed
out. G. E. Stone.

CULTURAL NOTES,
Early planted stock is now growing
apace and the question of supports must
be looked into. Many commercial grow-
ers use a cheap string, two-ply jute gen-
erally, strung on two wires running par-
allel with the rows of plants, one wire
well overhead and one on the ground.
I never cared for this system person-
ally, owing to the practical impossibility
of getting the string tight enough to pull
the shoots of the plant up close when they
showed a disposition to crook in the stem.
I prefer wire stakes, supported by stretch-
ing one wire for each row of plants to
which the stakes are tied. Use some
judgment in your staking, putting short
stakes on the dwarf kinds (stakes two
feet long are high enough for Cheltoni
or Donald McLeod) and five or six feet
stakes on the Eatons and others of that
ilk.

Now that the benches are getting filled
with roots considerable water is needed.
Soak the soil thoroughly and then do not
water again until the plants really need
it. This habit of giving a light watering
every day is utterly wrong, because while
water has got to be applied at certain
times to keep the soil moist, the roots
of a chrysanthemum work best in a soil
that is neither wet nor dry. The deli-
cate feeding roots will all rot when the
soil is being perpetually drenched. This
.condition will be found in pot plants

when they become water-logged and is
manifested in the benches by the plants
making long, soft growth and pale foli-
age. When a plant is doing well the
foliage is dark green and rich-looking.
On bright days, when the temperature
runs high, spray the house over three of
four times to cool things off a little.
We are growing our plants under some-

what unnatural conditions under glass
and the mum is not a stove plant by any
means. Keep the house as cool as pos-
sible. About once a week put a nozzle on
the hose that will throw a spray of water
upwards and with this give the plants
a thorough syringing on the under side
of the leaves. It is not on the top of
the foliage where the insects find a con-
genial home, but underneath where the
water from the hose, as ordinarily ap-
plied, never reaches. I have many, many
times found red spider working on the
leaves when a casual inspection indicated
that the plants were pictures of health.

If any of your plants are showing any
tendency to leaf disease try using po-
tassium sulphide, one ounce to two gal-
lons of water. I have great faith in this
preparation myself. It will kill mildew
or rust and I believe will hold down leaf
spot, if the cause, which is generally ex-
cessive watering, is removed.

Mildred Ware is showing some ten-
dency to leaf spot, but it is such a
grand thing that it will pay to go
to a little trouble with it. Keep it pretty
well on the dry side, so as to encourage
as much as possible the formation of
roots. When a plant has a good root
system it will generally take care of
the top without any trouble.

Utica. N. Y. — The establishments of
Peter Crowe and Brant Bros, were
brought within the city limits by a re-
cent annexation ordinance. They think
the advantages of fire ?ind police pro-
tection more than compensate for added
taxes.

South Bend, Ind.^ — Kinyon Bros., of
Lowell, Mich., have secured ground for
an extensive range of greenhouses just
outside the city limits. The work of
construction will begin at once. The
gentlemen are experienced in the trade
and see in South Bend a first-class field.

The preliminary schedule for the sev-
enty-third annual fair of the American
Institute of New York has been issued.
The dates are November 10 to 17, and
liberal premiums are offered for cut chry-
santhemums, chrysanthemum plants, mis-
"Cellaneous plants, roses and carnations,
also fruits and vegetables. Those who
have not received copies of the schedule
may obtain them by addressing Dr.
Bobert Taylor, manager, care of Herald
Square Exhibition Hall, New York Citv.

CULTURAL NOTES.
Now that you have your young plants
growing nicely and all the weeds killed
out, you will be asking yourself whether
you should plant early in July or late in
August. Those who grow both roses and
carnations will likely be busy with rose
planting until late in this month and to
suggest planting carnations before they
have fimshed planting the roses would
only cause them to shake their heads,
and rightly so, but hurry up and finish
with your rose planting so your carna-

tions will not also have to be late in
coming in.

That it pays to plant carnations early
cannot be dem'ed. The best growers all
over the country are planting their hotises
between July 10 and August 20. I would
not say that you can make more money
or cut finer blooms from plants benched
July 10 than you can from plants housed
the first week in August, but you cer-
tainly can cut more and better blooms
from plants housed before August 20
than you can from those housed later.

Azalea Kokinshiba. Azalea Ovinkin.

Two of the Japanese Azaleas so popular in the New York market the past season.

Of course varieties difTer somewhat, but
with the general run of varieties you
will find that this will hold good.

The number of plants you have to
house will, of course, have some bearing
on the time you commence to plant. If
you have only one house to plant you will
not need to begin so early, as two men
can throw out the plants, refill a house
10x100 and replant it all in ten days
or less. In such a case I would begin
about July 15 to 20, so as to have it
replanted by August 1. If you have
several houses to plant I would advise
making a start just as early as possible.
You cannot plant too early, but you will
find the days slipping past rapidly p.
little later on, when you are in the thick
of the work, and unless you get an early
start you may find yourself planting car-
nations well into September. I think
that most growers will agree with me
when I say that you can figure off at
least one per cent of the earnings of
your plants for every day you let slip
by after August 20 before planting them.

Much -will, of course, depend on the
weather you will have up to the first of
the year, but a plant benched in Sep-
tember certainly cannot be in good shape
to thrive during a dark November and
December and it will be in still poorer
shape to pull through a cold January,
with constant fire heat and little ven-
tilation. No good blooms could be ex-
pected from a plant under such condi-
tions, A plant which was planted early
in the summer will be well established
and growing sturdily along through the
fall and when a dark spell comes they
will not suffer so quickly because the
roots are in better working order. Oft-
entimes you will see a bed doing poorly
all winter, but when spring comes the
plants pick up and produce a big crop
of fine blooms in April and May. While
the grower is cutting the fine blooms
he forgets what he lost on them all win-
ter. A big crop of ever so fine blooms
in April and May can never make up
for a poor cut during the winter months.
You should have a fair cut from them all

winter and the big spring crop too, then
you can make «ome money.

Some of the larger growers can af-
ford to grow a bench or a house of a
variety like Crocker, which will not give
a large cut during mid-winter but will
almost if not quite make up the deficit
by holding up into the hot weather later
than most varieties. The average grow-
er does not want much to do with such
varieties, however, as he can buy plenty
of carnations during late spring at low
figures. When he can sell his blooms for
$1 per dozen is when he wants to be
cutting the heaviest and he cannot do
that from September planted stock.

The market these days requires so
little stock and most of your beds will
be bringing you such small returns that
it will pay you well to throw out the
plants and refill the beds. If yqu do
not care to bring in the plants iintil
after August 1st it will pay you to empty
and refill as many beds as you can be-
fore you begin planting. It will not hurt
the soil to lay on the beds and dry out
perfectly dry for a few weeks. By wet-
ting it about a week before planting it
will resume its natural condition. I
would not wet it one day and plant the
next after it had lain dry several weeks.
When refilling be sure you clean the
house up well. Take out all the rubbish
and weeds which may be growing along
the paths or under the benches if your
beds are raised above the ground. Old,
decaying wood will harbor wood-lice
which will give you much trouble later
on. Painting should also bfe done now
if possible, although of course, it can be
done later on if great care is exercised.

JAPANESE AZALEAS.

The accompanying illustrations are
from photographs of two plants of Jap-
anese azaleas flowered by Julius Eoehrs,
Rutherford, N, J, These Japs were very
popular this spring in the better class of
New York retail stores. Azalea Kokin-
shiba is a small-flowered single variety,
the color reddish pink. The plant is
about four feet high and well developed

specimens are four to six feet in diame-
ter. Azalea Ovinkin is white, double
fringed. The plants in tubs make four to
eight feet in height and three to six feet
in diameter.

THE CUT FLOWER TRADE.

The cut flower season is supposed to
close with the schools at the end of
June, although the summer business
makes many growers an excellent profit,
and it is worth while to look back at
this time to see the year in the perspec-
tive. It is undeniable that, on the whole,
the season of 1903-4 was not equal to ita
predecessors in profit to the cut flower
growers. The high cost of heating was
enough to make an appreciable differ-
ence in results, other conditions being
equal, but, unfortunately, they were not.
Prices were not up to last year. The
difference was most pronounced in the
e^^-jjut it held good in Chicago, St.
lioWQl and all grineipal markets, A gen-
eral dept^fssioH in business seemed to
affect ouLT.trade all through the season,
save at Christmas, Easter and Memorial
day, when new recojrtfs for sales were
established' in many places. Conditions
were slowest in the fall and winter, busi-
ness seeming to approach normal toward
spring, but B*oductibn, which had been
below the ugual cuts all winter, then so
prodigiously increased that, with a
marked deterioration in quality, average
prices have been the lowest on record
for May and June.

The season started out poorly with
the chrysanthemums; trade was slow,
qualities were not high and warm weath-
er served to bring in a large part of
the cut all at once. The production of
violets was enormous and prices low all
season, with fair business at Christmas
and better at Easter, on Marie Louise
and singles, most markets refusing
Campbell altogether. Lilies made fair
pnces at Easter but many thousands
were late and have sold very low. Bulb-
ous stock made a meagre margin, if any,
for the growers. While prices on roses
have almost everywhere been less than

last seasoQ; still good stock has com-
manded a ready market and those careful
growers who have had successful crops
of the better grade have had a fairly
profitable season. With many growers
teas have paid better than Beauties. Car-
nation prices have been under last
year 's, except for a few brief periods,
but the carnation growers are making
less complaint than anyone, good evi-
dence that they have had a reasonably
profitable season. There are, however,
many growers who were attracted to car-
nations by the good results the last
couple of years, wlio are going back to
lettuce and cucumbers next season.

A MICHIGAN ESTABLISHMENT.

The acompanying illustrations give an
idea of the character of the establishment
of S. J. Long, at Petoskey, Mich., The
view showing the grounds gives evidence
that the proprietor believes in keeping
his place neat and clean, an example to
the community which every florist should
set. Since the photograph was taken in-
creasing business has necessitated an ad-
dition to the glass, the old houses having
been extended and two new ones added at
the left. The other picture shows Ad-
lumia cirrhosa growing at Mr. Long's
door. This is a graceful climber, very
useful for covering. It is a hardy bien-
nial, but might almost be classed with
the perennials, as it resows itself year
after year. The foliage is feathery, the
maidenhair fern of the climbers. The
tube-shaped flowers are light pink in color
and borne in great profusion. The plant
bears the common names of lace vine, Al-
legheny vine, mountain fringe and climb-
ing fumatory. It should be mentioned
that Mrs. Long's work has been of mate-
rial importance in building pp the busi-
ness.

y^etable Forcing.

Greenhouse cucumbers at New York
are 25 to 35 cents a dozen, with re-
ceipts from the south many thousands of
packages each day.

Toledo, O. — Miller Bros, are building
eight houses for lettuce and cucumbers.
The roof material, etc., came from Chi-
cago, the houses being of the Dietsch
short-span pattern, fourteen feet nine
inches wide, without partition walls, and
260 feet long.

A FUNGUS, called by scientists Dendry-
phium comosum, this season assumed the
proportions of an epidemic in some ot'
the cucumber establishments near Lon-
don, England. This fungus is common
on decaying vegetable matter but had
never been recorded as parasitic. It
came from straw in the stable manure
used in the compost.

THE SQUASH BORER.

Enclosed you will find two insects
found here in great numbers on the cu-
cumber vines, known here as borers. As
soon as these insects make their appear-
ance the vines, or parts of them, die oflf
suddenly in one day, while other branches
on the same plant may stay green and
healthy. They seem to hatch in the
plant. In pulling up the dead plants in
summer we find millions of them, that
is, young ones. I am speaking of cucum-
bers grown in hotbeds. Any information
that you may give on the subject will be
highly appreciated. G. H. B.

The insects sent are what is commonly
called the squash borer, as they are gen-

Adlumia. Grrhosa on a Michig[an Florists' Porch.

EoCHELUE, Iii.. — August Caspers has
fbeen in the business here for twenty-five
years. He has a farm of twenty-eight
acres which, when he began, was barren
ground. It is now all within the corpor-
ate limits of the city. Mr. Caspers has
built up a nice business, both in cut
flowers, plants and vegetables under
glass, also small fruits and outdoor vege-
tables.

erally more prevalent on the squash than
the cucumber plants. Though they prefer
the squash, they are also quite at home
on the cucumber and in some sections arc
quite troublesome. The mature insect
lays its eggs usually near the base
of the vines and when the larvae hatch
out they bore into the crowns or vines,
causing them to die off suddenly as
described. When the mature insects

begin to make their appearance, if
not too numerous, they can be kept
down by handpicking. They are easi-
ly seen, as they usually harbor on
the upper side of the leaves. Toward
evening they are less active and are easily
caught. Dusting with slug shot or other
similar insecticide will help to keep them
in check, as they usually feed before de-
positing their eggs. It is well to begin
with the dusting of the plants at un
early stage of their growth, so as to be
ready for the insects when they come. '■■

BUILDING AND PIPING.

We desire to build a greenhouse and
wish to ask inrough the Review how to
dp, so. Our lot is 75x150 feet in size, the
f^dtit west. The land inclines to the west
so that the back end of the lot is three
feet higher than the front; the alley is
two feet higher than the back of the lot.
We wish to build for a general stock of
greenhouse and bedding plants, also
ferns; would also like to grow carnations
and grow roses to flower in pots. Wo
have some chrysanthemums growing and
have thought of starting with some cu-
cumbers this fall. We have had a small
greenhouse in connection with the store
for several years but we want more room
and desire to build to the best possible
advantage. We would like to know
whether to build on the top of the ground
or to dig down to the level of the street
in front, and what kind of span to
build. We would like to build 40x150
feet, with boiler room separate, and an
iron frame. Please give information how
to heat, hot water or steam. Also please
advise as to ventilators, size of glass,
depth of soil for carnations and cucum-
bers, and how early cucumbers should be
started. What kind of foundation should
be used; how heavy should the wall be
made with cement or mortar t We wish
to construct the boiler room so that it
will be fireproof. What kind of boiler?
Should we set the boiler on top of the
ground or dig a pit for it! C. E. H.

in constructing your greenhouse I
would not advise you to dig down to the
level of the street in front, but would
build the wall 18 inches above the level
of the street and excavate about the same
depth at the higher end. A three-quarter
span would be the best for roses and car-
nations, as this gives a more even amount
of light to aU the benches. For general
stock, such as you mention, it would not
be so important to have the greatest pos-
sible amount of light, but this style of a
house would be as suitable as any for
such a purpose.

Hot water would be best in your case,
as it does not require such close atten-
tion as steam, the latter requiring the
services of a night attendant. I would
have top ventilators on both sides of the
house, as in this way the house can be
kept cooler during very warm weather,
and during catchy weather it gives a
chance to air on the sheltered side of the
house. The size of glass I prefer is 18x
24 inches.

Six inches of soil is quite enough for
carnations, but for cucumbers I would
prefer to have the benches eight inches
deep. I prefer to plant the cucumbers
in hills, adding soil as the roots appear
on the outside. For first crop, cucumbers
can be started the end of August.

For an iron frame construction, the
best foundation would be brick laid up
in cement, and wide enough to accommo-

date a lO-inch iron sill, the foundation
being deep enough to make it good and
solid. To make the boiler room fireproof,
it would have to be constructed with
brick and cement, with iron rafters, and
corrugated iron roof.

Regarding the kind of boiler, I do not
care to recommend any special make.
There are many reliable boilers on the
market, several of them advertised in the
Eeyiew. To give sufficient fall to insure
good circulation, a pit should be dug for
the boiler room, as your boiler will stand
about eighteen inches above the floor
when space is given for ash pit, and the
top of your boiler should be at least
five feet from the floor level. This
would not give any too much fall.

To give suitable temperatures for the
different subjects you intend to grow
you would have to make at least three-
divisions in the house. For roses, a mini-
mum temperature of 60 degrees would be
required; for carnations and general bed-
ding stock a minimum temperature of at
le&st 50 degrees is necessary; whereas
for cucumbers sufficient command of heat
should be supplied to insure the tempera-
ture not to run under 65 degrees in any
sort of weather. Regarding the piping.
For the warmer house, considering that
it is forty feet in width, about thirty
lines of 2 ^2 -inch piping would be neces-
sary to obtain the proper temperature.
These would be best arranged in coils of
six, making three flows and three re-
turns in each coil. This wannest section
I would have nearest the boiler, and to
insure a temperature of 60 degrees in the
second section about the same amount of
piping will probably be required. For
the cooler section four coils of the same
number of pipes might be sufficient. Con-
nections to the boiler should be made
with not less than 5-inch pipes.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

There is a fair amount of business
doing for July. Even on the glorious
Fourth, considered above all others as
the florists' holiday, there was some de-
mand. It might be more aptly termed
"search," as the local growers do not
cater to or stimulate summer business.
Some of them have tried it and say it

does not pay, so beyond Kaiserins, val-
ley, sweet peas, a few carnations and
some miscellaneous flowers, the market
is rather bare of flne stock. Of course
there are some nice Beauties, Liberties,
Prosperities, cattleyas, etc., but when a
good order comes along the dealers get
desperate and draw on outside points
for their supplies. I believe in Phila-
delphia enterprise sufficiently to predict
that this state of affairs will not last
long and that in a year or two at the
farthest our growers will give us a few
fine flowers of the best varieties in July
and August, so produced as to earn
shekels and incidentally relieve the
spring and fall overproduction. ,

A Point of Interest.

At the last meeting of the Pennsylva-
nia Horticultural Society several mem-
bers strongly advocated the use of hy-
brid tea in preference to other hybrid
roses for outdoor planting in this secition
of the country. While there is plenty
of room for all classes, there is no ques-
tion that the hybrid teas have a great
future before them and the sooner our
growers realize this and intelligently
meet the growing demand the better it
will be for them.

Rural Doings.

Martin Richardson caught a fellow the
other morning in his carnation patch,
picking the Hills and Joosts. Martin was
pretty mad and started with his prisoner
for Justice Sibel's. On the way the fel-
low explained that he was a fakir and
a gentleman, that he needed the flowers
early and didn't like to disturb Martin
and that he would have sent a check next
morning with only ten per cent off for
commission and no charge for picking.
Martin decided to let his prisoner go
with the flowers. The fellow has not been
heard of since.

Thomas Flynn gave his boy a nice
chick-weedy bed of mignonette to clean.
The boy mistook the wishes of Thomas
and got every mignonette out in nice lit-
tle piles. His name is "Willie Robinson,
He is a bright, intelligent boy and
should certainly be given a trial by
some kind-hearted grower.

George Howard was hoeing in the car-
nation patch. Frank "White left the
water bucket to join him. "George,"
he sez, "I can sneeze whenever I want

to." "Let's hear ye," sez George.
"I don't want to," sez Frank. George
kept on hoeing.

George Pyle was taking a sweet pea
order around to a neighbor's when he
saw a little boy eyeing a cherry tart in
a baker's window. George is a kind-
hearted boy and felt in his pockets for
a penny. "You want that cookie, bubt"
he asked. "I could eat six o' them
bloody little tarts," came the answer.
The penny slipped back in George's
pocket.

Sam Kennedy left the hot greenhouses
and had a glorious time on the Fourth.
He described it this way: "I went to
the house and put on me collar. Mary
must ha guessed, but she never said
nothin '. I went to the tavern at the
corner and didn't touch a thing — I
looked r.t the clock and sez to Bill
Jones, 'If I ain't back you'll know I'm
away!' An' he sez, 'AH right, Sam.'
Bill's a brick. I jumped on a car and
went to the park. It was pretty late
when I got back and Mary began to
ask questions, and I sez, 'Mary, don't,
I 'm too sleepy, ' an ' she stopped. In the
morning she started again an' I sez,
'Mary, don't; I'm too sick.' An' sho
stopped. ' '

Fred Raymond is fond of a good show
with plenty of soldiers arid shooting in
it. Fred had just left a bunch of roses
at the box office for the leading lady
when he met the program boy. "Is it a
melodrama!" Fred asked. "Naw,
nothin' mellow about it," sez the bov,
"it's rotten."

Bobby Boyd was potting geraniums
when the foreman came along. Bobby is
proud of his potting and pi^t on a few
extra lugs. ' ' They ain 't dead yet, ' ' the
foreman growled, "don't bury 'em."

Various Notes.

Must turn- from the gay show aside.

AN ARTIFICIAL WREATH.

A. Herrmann, the florists' supply deal-
er, has made a handsome wreath to be
placed on the graves of the unidentified
dead of the Slocum disaster, at Lutheran
cemetery, on Long Island, next Sunday,
July 10. The wreath is more than four
feet in diameter and the easel on which
it stands is nine feet. Porcelain roses
and buds to the number of 224 were
used in the piece, which is of a style
largely used and greatly admired in that
section of Long Island. The inscription
on the piece, translated in English, is
* ' In Memory of the Unknown Dead. ' '

NEW YORK.

The Market.

The holiday opened clear and hot and,
as expected, exercised no appreciable ef-
fect upon the wholesale market. Prices
remain on an even summer keel and there
will be "still water" until September.
The usual stagnation of the summer is
now established. Quotations are formal
and unstable. The cleaning up daily
gives no thought to real value. The
bargain hunters reap a harvest. The
street merchants do the bulk of the sell-
ing. "Wholesale stores close early and
many of the retailers would like to, if
the custom could be made universal. Mr.
Bowe tells me he contemplates closing
from Saturday noon until Monday dur-
ing July and August. With the excep-
tion of a boy for emergency worTt,
this system could be profitably followed
by every retailer in the city.

Every hour of rest and consideration
given the faithful employes now will
bring four fold loyalty and effort when
the strenuous period returns. The re-
tail florists' business is an abnormal en-
terprise at best. Eegular hours in the
busy season are impossible and a more
patient, willing and uncomplaining serv-
ice can be found in no other line of
work in the country. When necessity
arises, an all night session is accepted
with placidity.

In the wholesale market the supply of
lilies continues unusually large. Down
at John Scott's, in Flatbush, I saw
thousands of Harrisii just opening, and
this is but one of many sources in this
vicinity that has kept the lily in such
profuse supply since Easter. Low prices
.still prevail. Southern gladioli are here
and are affecting prices, while sweet
peas still bring about one-fourth the

Variotis Notes.

Arthur T. Boddington is back from a
very successful trip and already finds
larger conveniences a necessity, so h.;
is removing to 342 West Fourteenth
street, where he will have all facilities
for the development of his business to
any extent.

Wm. Elliott & Sons held their last
auction for the season last Tuesday, after
a successful season and good prices as
compared with former years.

The present week will close the auc-
tions at deary's Horticultural Hall.
Here, too, business has been excellent.

Thfe Herald Square Exhibition Hall
has been positively decided upon for the
great, fruit, flower and vegetable show
of the American Institute, November 10
to 17.

A meeting of the Eose Society's in-
coming officers was held last Friday at
the secretary's office, Alex. Montgomery,
John N. May, Henry Siebrecht, Sr., B.
Dorrance and Secretary Barron being
present. Letters of regret were read
from Messrs. Burton, of Philadelphia,
and Welch of Boston. The prospects
and prize schedule were discussed. Mr.
Montgomery announced great enthusiasm
around Boston, a large increase of the
membership of the society and*8everal
life members secured since the Philadel-
phia meeting. Colonel Pfaflf has offered
a $50 silver cup for the best group of
roses in pots, not climbers, and special
prizes will be given by the Boston Gar-
deners' and Florists' Club and by the
famous * ' Old Guard. ' ' Benjamin Dor-
rance gives a $100 cup for the best dis-
play of cut roses, competition by grow-
ers outside of a radius of 150 miles of
Boston. Jno. B. Nugent offers $50
divided, $25 for the best vase of fifty
Liberties and $25 for the best vase of
new roses of late introduction. Pres.
Montgomery's prize is for twenty-fivo
roses of American origin. Further spe-
cial prizes are solicited, and all sections
of the country are appealed to for loyal
support of the society. Secretary Bar-
ron says the western representation is
increasing since the reawakening of in-
terest and it is a matter of public rec-
ord that one prominent western member
has already shown his practical loyalty,
a good example which he hopes will be
largely followed. The meeting will be
arranged for about the middle of March
and it is unnecessary to say anything
of Boston hospitality.

Hanfling & Kleppner, a new supply
house, have some fine novelties on exhi-
bition at 114 West Twenty-eighth street.

Wm. Ghormley is gradually improving
in health and will be back at headquart-
ers in good time for the reawakening of
business.

The demand for the 2H>-inch pots of
Scottii has been universal. Mr. Scott
has shipped many to Canada and Califor-
nia and to every intervening city and
the demand continues. He is filling sev-

and has many orders booked for the 14-

Florists' Qub Outing. __^^^

Notwithstanding a cloudy morning the
fourth annual outing was .i decided suc-
cess. The threatening weather, the Slo-
cum disaster, the absence of many from
the city, illness, etc., combined to keep
scores away, but a happy crowd of 200
enjoyed the day thoroughly and voted it
the most harmonious and delightful of
the annual celebrations. The attendance
of children was very gratifying. Loui.i
Schmutz, Sr., proved his loyalty by bring-
ing nearly all his children and grand-
children, and his youth by running and
handspring agility and by winning one
of the bowling prizes. It 's a pity all the
club's members could not make an
equally practical show of interest. Thero
should be no limit to the attendance at
thia yearly festival, and next year a
crowd of less than 400 will be discredit-
able. By furnishing the novelty of an-
other park selection and a $3 ticket
for the unmarried men it can easily be
accomplished.

The prizes were all valuable and
worthy of the efforts made to win them.
The distribution on the way home made
the most hilarious hour of the day. Near-
ly everyone of the young folks were re-
membered. Dancing at the grove and
on the boat was enjoyed by the young
people. John Birnie 's children gave
their specialties. The time passed too
quickly, and not one in attendance hal
anything but praise for the committee,

whose efforts had brought about the per-
fect arrangements for the day.

Cleary's special race for a $35 suit
of clothes was the most interesting of
the day, with Siebrecht, W. B. DuEie,
John Scott, Alf. Zeller, Louis Schmutz,
Sr., Jos. Manda, Chas. Lenker and sev-
eral other growers in it. The pots were
placed five feet apart and covered 250
feet of space. Each pot contained a
sealed envelope with a number from
one to fifty. It was a novel struggle
and everybody seemed glad to have
Charley Lenker win, with a total of 170
points. Mr. DuEie received a severe
blow on the eye as his share of the en-
counter.

The ball game was a triumph for the
married men. If Clarence Saltford had
not sprained his ankle the result might
have been reversed. Julius Eoehrs, Jr.,
"ran like a deer," or a "dear" the la-
dies declared. The champagne prizes to
the winners, given by Mr. Nugent, were
religiously taken home to be opened.

Nearly every lady took part in the
bowling match, for the handsome prizes
furnished by President Traendly. Tho
lady who won first prize this season,
Mrs. Louis Schmutz, Jr., captured the
booby prize a year ago.

J. W. Beimels, Jr., started the con-
tests and Harry Bunyard was omnipres-
ent all daj', as usual, and tireless, hav-
ing fully recovered from his illness.

The handicap fat man's race was a
fierce contest. Jno. B. Nugent, 222
pounds, and F. H. Traendly, 204, finished
abreast, the award going to Nugent by
a nose. The president won the 175-
pound special, however, "pulled up" and
strong.

Few married ladies would admit over
40, but those who did ran like two-yea r-
oldsi There were no unmarried ladies
present over 25, so a special race was
created for Jos. Millang's box of candy.
It took a score of 81 in five frames to
win Jno. Birnie 's fine ink stand, and an

outsider from Hoboken opened our eyes
and secured first bowling prize with a
total of 105.

The following were the prize winners
in the various contests, the first, second
and third prizes being awarded in the
order named:

Boys' race under 8. Wm. Manda, Geo. Lenker,

BOSTON.

The Market.

Extreme dullness now reigns in tho
flower market, a condition which is likely
to last for two or three months. Thero
is plenty of stock coming in, much of
it very poor in quality, for which there
is little, or no demand. Eoses are getting?
very small, Brides and Maids being mis-
erable. Beauties are also very poor.

Carnations still bring $1 to $1.50 for
fine stock, but a lot of rubbish is almost
given away. Sweet peas, gypsophila,
stocks, larkspurs, nymphseas, candytuft,
sweet sultan, outdoor mignonette and
Lilium elegaus and candidum are seen in
quantity.

June, 1904, may be classed as a cool
month, although decidedly warmer than
the same month in 1903. The mean tem-
perature for Boston was 64 degrees,
against a ten years' average of 66 de-
grees. Our most uncomfortable day was
on June 26, when the thermometer rose to
95 degrees and seemed to stay there
about All day, if one's feelings were any
index. Crops look decidedly better than
at this time, a year ago. They have a
deficiency of 303 degrees to make up
since January 1, so we may pleasurably
anticipiate some hot waves between now
and Thanksgiving.

Various Notes.

Ilitchings & Co., 819 Tremont build-
ing, Boston, have been awarded the fol-
lowing additional contracts: Arthur Lit-
tle, Phillips Beach, one greenhouse ; "Wins-
low T. Williams, Yantic, Conn., conserva-
tory, palm house and greenhouse; F. A.
Sayles, Pawtucket, E. I., ' palm house,
plant house, two vegetable houses, two
graperies, violet house and carnation
house; E. C. Vanderbilt, Newport, two
greenhouses and workroom. They have
also contracted to build an extensivf;
range for W. K. Vanderbilt, at Great
Neck, L. I., N. Y.

Several of the city florists are start-
ing to overhaul their stores and make
improvements and employes are going on
their annual vacations.

After considerable agitation the new
Independent Co-operative Flower Market
has finally been incorporated. Chas. E.
Dickerman, the Dorchester carnation
grower, is president ; Geo. W. Ayer,
Beading, Mass., treasurer; Wilfrid
Wheeler, Concord, Mass., clerk. Direc-
tors in addition to the foregoing, E.
Wood, Lexington; E. Cartwrigbt, Welles-
ley; J. W. Foote, Maiden; N. F. Comley,
Lexington ; John McFarland, North
Easton; Donald Carmichael, Wellesley
Mass. The capital stock of $5,000 is
largely subscribed and the new concern
expects to do a thriving business.

Dr. C. L. Marlatt. entomologist to the
Department of Agriculture at Washing-
ton, is in Boston to superintend the in-
vestigation of the federal government
of the moth pest in Massachusetts. Dr.
Marlatt discovered a parasite of the San
Jose scale in China, which when intro-
duced proved very effective and we trust
he may be able to bring something to
thin the rapidly increasing hords of
gypsy moths, which are doing fearful
destruction just now.

Bostonians enjoyed cool and comfort-
able weather on "the great and glorious
Fourth." Thanks also to the vigilance
of Police Commissioner Emmons, fire-

works were less of a nuisance than usual
and accidents fewer. More than one
florist took advantage of the fine weather,
following a damp spell, to get some of
his hay under cover.

Farquhar & Co. are making extensive
alterations inj their seed store. The
ground floor in future will be given
up entirely to counter trade, while all
mail orders will be filled on the second
floor.

Harry Cole, for many years gardener
to Cyrus Lothrop, North Easton, Mass.,
has purchased the greenhouses and stock
of A. D. Copeland, on Copeland street,
Campello, Mass. There is about 6,000
feet of glass and a general stock, in-
cluding orchids, which will be grown by
Mr. Cole.

One or two growers in this vicinity
see a prospect of good returns in grow-
ing narcissus and other bulbs for mar-
ket. The writer was shown bulbs of
Narcissus Emperor Von Sion and poeti-
cus, the past week, quite equal to tho
Holland grown stock. There would seem
to be an opening in this linn for some
wide awake florists. W. N. Craiu.

The New Market.

Mr. Craig's recent notes on the new
flower market in Boston seem to indicate
that he has been misinfornied as to tho
true character of the movement. The
new market has been incorporated witli
fifty stockholders, including some of tho
most honest, industrious gentlemanly and
sober element among the flower grow-
ers of Massachusetts, also having the
kindly assistance and best wishes of
a good many of the Boston storekeep-
ers. W. C. Ward.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

The cut flower trade has been some-
what slow the past week and has about
dwindled down to summer stillness, as
commencements, weddings and social
work is done for this season. There is
very little outlet for the stock that
comes in, which, though not so plentiful
as it has been, is quite enough for the
demand. There is also a general de-
crease in values.

This is Independence day, a holiday
which is not much good for the florists'
business and the only one when our help
can take a whole day off for enjoyment. In
stock such roses as American Beauty,
Bride, Kaiserin and Bridesmaid of extra
quality clean out fairly well each day,
as the supply of this quality is very lim-
ited just now. First and second grades
of these are more plentiful, but the de-
mand not so great. President Carnot
and Liberty have a big call when fancy ;
price from $3 to $5 per hundred.

The carnation stock is still somewhat
heavy, though the bulk of it is of poor
quality. Henry Baer, of Peoria. 111.,
is sending in some -good fancy
stock of these to Kuehn, which
average $2 per 100. From $1
to $1.50 is the price for home grown
stock. These are quite plentiful. Sweot
peas are still crowding the market. The
white, pink and lavender are very fine
and have the call. The wholesale houses
are having big demand for these, still
prices remain cheap; $1.50 per 1,000 is
asked for fancy varieties. Short stock
brings from 50 to 75 cents per 1,000, but

a great many are left unsold. Good lily
of the valley is still to be had at $3
and $4 per 100. Smilax is plentiful and
so are other greens.

Most of the growers are hard at work
replacing the old stock with young plants
and the general summer work, such as
repainting, repairing and building, is
now going on everywhere.

Various Notes.

The Florists' Club's meeting which
takes place next Thursday afternoon at
2 o'clock will be the most important
meeting the club has had in many years
and the members to a man should attend.
Convention matters of importance will
be- discussed. The nomination of offi-
cers will take place. This alone should
be of great interest to all the members.
The essay of Brother Dunford promises
to be interesting for growers and retail-
ers alike.

Our old friend, "Billy" Kasting, of
Buffalo, is here this week as a delegate
to the democratic convention, which is
in session. "Billy" may be the dark

Geo. M. Kellogg was down from Pleas-
ant Hill, Mo., last week on one of his
monthly trips to learn convention news.

Mr. O'Neil, of Chicago, spent a week
in tho city calling on the trade and the
World's Fair. The Pike had great at-
tractions for Mr. O'Neil.

E. F. Tesson, chairman of the shoot-
ing committee, reports that he has se-
lected Dupont's park for the shooting
contest during the convention, which
takes place Thursday afternoon, August
18, at 2 p. m. At this park all the great
shooting contests of the past have taken
place. Ammunition and guns can be
had at the park at a reasonable price.

Frank M. Ellis, chairman of the hotel
committee, has a large number of hotels
and rooms on his list at a very low price
and any of the S. A. F. members who
expect to attend the convention would do
well to correspond with Mr. Ellis, at
1316 Pine street, and have rooms re-
served for them. All other committees
are hard at work completing arrange-
ments for the coming convention. Carl
Beyer has already secured a number of
valuable prizes for the bowlers.

BcwUng.

The florist bowlers had a hot time
last Thursday night. The convention
team, composed of Messrs. Kuehn, Beyer,
Miller, Ellison and Beneke, met the
Strong Palace team, champions of the
city league this year. The florists were
defeated by three pins, total number of
pins counting, though they won the last
two games of the three played. The
totals were as follows:

CHICAGO.

The Market*

Receipts have decreased materially
during the past week. Many growers
have come to the conclusion that it was
useless to carry their stock farther into
the summer. Results are particularly
mauifest in the rose department. The
cuts of Beauty are now very light and
there is very little stock of what can be
called good quality. Bride and Brides-
maid are more plentiful, but there are
few of the latter which are of good color,
and mildew is still very prevalent.
Brides seein in much better shape than
Maids and are in fair demand, as funeral
work has been plentiful in the last few
days. The best stock is finding a good
market, hut the lower grades are still
jobbed off to the Greeks. There is
a ready sale for the few Chatenay which
are in the market, and liiberty is in
good demand because of the shortage of
Beauties. Kaiserin is not plentiful and
selling well.

While receipts of carnations are less
than they were a week ago, there ara
still more than the market can consume.
Only a small part of the receipts can be
sold ^at anything like a satisfactory price
to the growers, and it is difficult to dis-
pose of the low grades at any price at
all. There are still quantities of sweet
peas in the market, but the quality has
improved and they are in better shapf.
Dnring the week the candidum lilies from
Benton Harbor have been arriving. Thi:i
is a crop of short duration and this
year of little profit, for it has been dif-
ficult to move the large receipts at even
$1 per 100, where the market was for-
merly $2 to $3. There are quantities of
peonies still to be had, but there is a
noticeable tendency to steer clear of the
quantities of poor stuff that are offered
and pay a fair price for good goods. A
few asters are seen. Water lilies are
salable for window decorations and
feverfew and such items find an outlet for
the same purpose.

The shipping demand has been verv
light in the last few days and the local
trade is largely confined to funeral work,
conditions which are likely to prevail
for the next two months.

For Sweet Charity.

The wholesale houses in Chicago arc
being overrun every day by Sisters from
the different institutions asking for flow-
ers. This practice has grown from where,
a few years ago, only one Sister would
call occasionally to now not less than

ten a day, and on special church holi-
days up to fifteen to eighteen. They vis-
it all of the houses, so that when they
leave the market they have both arms
full of packages. Some even have
a wagon or buggy in waiting. These
flowers are taken to hospitals, churches,
convents and schools. The habit has
grown on them so that they ask for cer-
tain kinds, not what you want to get
rid of and can spare. Certain feast days
require certain colors. If I should have
white to spare and they want pink, they
tell me so. What began as a charity
we all favored has got to be a nuisance.

Now let us look at the other side, from
the retailers' viewpoint. Formerly these
institutions bought what they needed
from a florist in the neighborhood, or
came down town and bought what they
needed. Their purchases would range
from $2 to $15, as the occasion demand-
ed. The school children, for confirma-
tion or communion days, would buy flow-
ers from the florist. Now they buy, and
are asked to, from the Sisters in charge
of the schools. We wholesalers give
them the flowers; the retailer sits there
and looks on. In some cases I am told
that they call on the florist and buy the
ferns. Why, we ought to supply the
ferns also. I don 't see why we don 't.

Are we doing justice to ourselves and
to the retailers? I say, "No." I for
one will cut this traffic out and hope
that all the wholesalers will do the same,
and give the retailer the trade he is en-
titled to. We look for his business and
if we give away flowers to his patrons,
we are only cutting off our own noses
for sweet charity's sake. We have lost
the business of the public schools
through the ban put on flowers by Mr.
Cooley. We have only the sectarian
schools left. I^t them buy their flowers;
they will, when they find they cannot get
them given to them. Most institutions
use them for altar decoration. All of
these institutions are able to pay for the
flowers, charity hospitals excepted. I
know a number of florists who look for
this business for their support and, whilo
they used to have it, they don't any

J. W. Eatekin, Shenandoah, la., re-
ports the past season the best in the
history of the house, covering twenty
years. The 1905 catsdogue will be sev-
enty-two pages with an edition close to
250,000 copies.

J. Mabtbins, lily of the valley ex-
porter, of Hamburg, Germany, while in
Chicago July 2 received the sad news
of the sudden death of his wife aud im-
mediately started for home. He has the
sympathy of his many friends in the
seed trade.

A CANNER at Chicago says that "no
matter how the crop reports may read,
it is too early to take it for granted
that the small corn pack of 1903 is going
to be repeated this year. The year is too
young for anybody to say to what extent
the crop will be affected by the low vi-
tality of the seed and the lateness of the
season. ' '

It has been suggested that seedsmen
might add much to the efficiency of their
clerks by establishing a noonday class
for the discussion of important point?
bearing upon the method of growth and
distinguishing characteristics of the dif-
ferent vegetables and flowers, some posted
member of the firm or head clerk acting
as leader.

Visited Chicago: Ernest Hermes,
representing A. Le Coq & Co., Darm-
stadt, Germany, has been calling on the
seed trade throughout the United States
for the past month, visiting the St. Louis
Exposition, where his house has an exhibit
of grass and field seeds. He reports latest
advices from Germany to the effect that
good crops are in prospect again this
year, with prices likely to be on a level
with last year except on a few unim-
portant items.

CONDITIONS IN KENTUCKY.

Wood, Stubbs & Co., Louisville, Ky.,
write as follows under date of June 28:

The outlook for trade conditions at tho
present time is fair for the coming sea-
son, and crops of grass seeds generally
promise good yields. Kentucky blue
grass is considerably larger crop than
has been made for several years and
prices will be lower. Concerning orchard
grass, there are conflicting reports by
growers, but on the whole a fair crop
may be expected. We anticipate prices
to be somewhat lower than last year. Red
Top is looking well and from the present
indications there will be a good, full
crop; prices about the same as last year,
possibly a little less.

Onion sets have not done well up to tho
present time and are suffering severely
with dry weather. We do not anticipate
a good crop of these, but favorable
weather will bring them out considerably.
Crops of wheat have turned out better
than for several years.

Garden seed crops generally have done
fairly well, though lack of rain will en-
tail shortage in the potato crop. There
has been a large acreage of tobacco
planted over the state, due to the high
prices obtained for last year's crop, and
the crop at the present writing is re-
ported in good growing condition.

The crop of omon seed grown in this
locality is very large, though we do not
anticipate such low prices as last year,
as the indications are that the sets will
move off freely and it will stimulate the
production of this crop to some extent.

Louisville onion sets are recognized as
very superior quality, especially for late
keeping in the spring, and we ship an-
nually large quantities of sets through-
out all parts of the United States from
Maine to California. This is true of all
seeds, as this point is fast being recog-
nized by important dealers of other sec-
tions as one of the sources of supply for
seed crops.

We are growing large quantities of se-
lected seed corn, both field and sugar,
selected seed wheat, winter turf oats,
millets and cow peas, while Louisville
being situated in the center of produc-
tion for nearly all grass seeds and red
clover, supplies enormous quantities of
these items.

SEEDLESS VEGETABLES.

The following extract fronj a publica-
tion of the D. Landreth Seed Company,
serves to point to the intense scientific
development of horticultural practice of
the present day:

To Indicate the Intensive watchfulness, men-
tal application and persistent physical effort
of thoughtful students of vegetable science to
develop additional types, attention Is called to
the Introduction of seedless fruits and vegeta-
bles. Every one Is familiar with the seedless
orange, introduced In 1880, and now very gen-
erally on the market. To this Is to be added
tbe seedless apple, plum, grape, currant, stocks
of all of which are about ready to be Intro-
duced, but all of which affect the nuserymen
rather than the seedsmen.

The active promoter In new things will not
be happy till the seedless development, at
present bearing only on hard-wooded plants. Is
carried Into the soft-wooded class. In fact. It
has already been successful In that direction,
there benig already a seedless watermelon and
a seedless tomato. It would seem that In the
order of cncurbltacea the greatest opportunities
are presented, but it will be accomplished In
other families. Efforts will not cease until we
have not only seedless watermelons and toma-
toes, but seedless cantaloupes, cucumbers,
squashes, peppers, pumpkins and egg plants.

Of course, seedless vegetables will have to
be propagated by cuttings, the race kept alive
by continuously carrying over in glass houses
the successive parent plants throughout the year,
each generation affording slips for the next.

Indeed, if seedless vegetables ever become of
much value, their place will be found In the
forcing house, rather than In the field, as
all culture of seedless plants will have to be
done with the slips or cuttings started under
glass, and this, fortunately, saves the seeds-
man from being shut out entirely, otherwise his
occupation will be half gone, provided always
that tbe seedless fruit were better than the old
types.

BALTIMORE.

Gilbert Patterson died last week at
the home of his niece, Mrs. Barron. He
was 84 years of age. The deceased had
retired from active business some ten
or twelve years ago. The funeral took
place Sunday, July 3, at Govanstown
Presbyterian cemetery. The active pall-
bearers were : I. H. Moss, Wm. Madaej*,
F. G. Burger, John Donn, Chas. Bucher,
and C. Waldenberg, all being members
of the Gardeners' Club, of which the
deceased was an active member. The
officers and members attended the
funeral in a body.

Many of the stores were closed on the
Fourth, others remaining open only long
enough to fill the few small orders ou
hand. The Exchange closed at 12 o'clock,
having very little stock on hand.

Business on a whole is satisfactory,
not much good stocky not much busi-
ness. So it balances up about as might
be expected at this season. Maman
Cochets are beginning to come in fr^y.
Carnations and indoor roses are holding
up very well. Greens are not much
sought after. Roses are going at $2 lo
$4, carnations 50c to $1.25 per 100, peas
15 to 25 cents per 100. A. F.

BELLEFONTAINE, OHIO.

This town was visited by a severe hail
storm on Thursday, June 30, which did
much damage to crops and flowers, but
no glass was broken. The, hail piled up
in places six inches deep and some was
found lying around on Saturday morn-
ing. The foliage of such plants as cannas
and caladiums was cut into shreds and
nasturtiums were stripped to the stalk.
In vegetables Lima bean» seemed to suf-
fer most, some of the early sowihgs being
completely ruined. The season here so
far has been very cool and wet; on Sat-
urday the thermometer stood at 48 de-
grees. Most flowering plants have made
very little growth so far, except dahlias
and asters; they are looking excellent.

I GO to the Beview, for I have learned
by experience that it is the place to go
for help in time of need; it gives help,
sympathy, comfort and consolation; it
finds buyers and sellers and brings them
together; it keeps us posted in all lines
belonging to the craft, and so I like it.

Fprt Smith will have its second annual
flower show this fall. B. D. Crane will
be director and A. A. Pantet will be
manager. The premium list is in course
of preparation and will be issued in a
few days.

A. G. Lee & Bro, report a very ma-
terial increase in their business this
spring. The flower show will be held
in their large double store, with its four
floors, which are offered free of charge.

C. J. Brockman will again engage in
cut flower growing after three years
spent in other pursuits. He has em-
ployed a grower to take charge.

G. H. Krone is showing some fine
ferns. He is a believer in rich diet for
this specialty.

Johnson & Co. are building a new
greenhouse for cut flower purposes.

A. A. Pantet & Co., who are the larg-
est growers here, have nearly completed
the remodeling of their establishment.
They expect by this means to double
their output and hope to soon take up
the wholesale business.

There is talk of organizing a florists'
club here and we all hope it will suc-
ceed.

The Market.

It is a hard matter at this time of the
year to find anything that is of suf-
ficient interest to write about. Ine
Fourth of JuVr is now a thing of the
past and with it the last lively business
that we can hope for until September.
An occasional funeral order will help
to keep stock moving, but otherwi.se
there is nothing. Then, too, it is a good
thing that there is not so much business,
as flowers are now getting pretty scarce.

There are practically no roses at all.
Carnations are not nearly so plentiful,
but some of them are of very good qual-
ity for so late in the season. Sweet
peas, though, are coming by the thou-
sand and they are of fine quality. But
owing to the large numbers of them they
scarcely pay for me picking. Lilies have
been in good demanu but are now scarce.
There ia plenty of feverfew, stocks,
candytuft, etc., and not such a very
lively demand for it. Shasta daisies
of fine quality are to be had and there
are lots of them, but they don't sell any
too well. A few of the best bring $1
per 100, but most of them sell at
about 25 cents. Smilax, pTumosus,
Sprengeri, adiantum and eastern ferns
are plentiful.

Variotis Notes.

Saturday is the regular meeting of the
Florists' Society and the new oflicers
will take hold for the first time A
meeting of the board was held the past
week and they elected the following
officers for the ensuing year: Ben.
George, president; Gus Adrian, vice-pres-
ident; G«orge Murphy, secretary, and
J. W. Rodgers, treasurer.

Tickets are out for the annual outing

to be held Thursday, July 21, at Coney
Island. They afe to oe had at all the
commission houses and of the members of
the committee. There will be all kinda
of events for men, women and children,
with prizes for all. The bowling con-
tests for both ladies and men, also thd
ball game, will be the especial featurt'-s.
The committee is hustling things and
there will, without doubt, be a big crowd
this year.

E. G. Hill was a caller.

Paul F. Peters, who lived on Prico
Hill, died on June^ 28. He was bom
March 25, 1855, in Dahlen, about thirty
miles from Leipzic, Germany. He spent
his early days at Schloss Thallwitz, ia
the p«^rk of Prince Henry the 67th of
KeuSs. Later his father conducted an
extensive florist's business in Leipzic.
Paul at 17 years of age journeyed to
Brazil, where he lived several years.
Then came to the United States and
finally settled in Cincinnati, wliere he
was engaged with his brother, C. A.
Peters, in the landscape gardening, also
general florists' business. He leaves two
brothers, P. F. Peters, of Cincinnati, and
C. A. Peters, of Huntington, W. Va., also
two sisters who are living in Leipzic.

AMERICAN ASSOCMTIONjOr NURSERYMEN.

held at West Baden, Ind., June, 1U06.

The fall business of the dealers in
ornamental nursery stock promises to be
exceptionally good this season, partly
due to losses last winter.

If the national government is to con-
tinue the inspection of meats there is
no reason why it should not provide for
the inspection of nursery stock, since its
failure to do so inflicts a loss both on
dealer and planter.

This is proving a bad season in many
sections for nurserymen whose practice
it is to guarantee their , plantings for
one, two or more years. The hard win-
ter, the late spring and the lack of rain
are causing more than the usual per-
centage of loss.

Articles of incorporation of the
American Peony Society were filed at
Albany, N, Y., July 2. The directors
named are J. H. Humphreys, of Phila-
delphia; E. A. Reeves, Cleveland; C. S
Harrison, York, Neb.; W. A. Peterson,
Chicago, and G. A. Bryant, Princeton,

"Where a man has a local market,"
a^73 an eastern nurseryman, "he can
make something of Christmas trees,
but if he has to ship them to the lar^^'o
cities to be sold on commission he had
better go to work for 50 cents a day. We
have been growing them for severnl
years. ' '

Prof. L. C. Corbett, horticulturist in
the Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, is the author
"of a 24-page monograph on the straw-
berry, just issued as Farmers' Bulletin
No. 198. The subject is treated fully
and the bulletin will be of value to every
grower of the fruit, including the nur-
serymen who are producing the plants
by the hundreds of thousands each year.

As a rule, says Charles Black, a tree
should never be planted any deejier thau
it has stood in the nursery, and a great
many trees are ruined by 'planting them
too deep. But there are some trees liky
the quince that it would not injure, if
you have an apple or a standard pear
tree planted a little deep on ordinary
soils there would be no injury. But if
you plant a peach tree on any soil three,
four or five inches deeper than it stood
in the nursery, it will very often not
be successful.

NAME OF TREE.

We enclose a few sprays of a very
pretty tree, of which we would like to
know the name. It grows of a conical
shape, without trimming.

J. H. D. & Sox.

The name of the tree is the American
white basswood, Tilia heterophylla. It io
also called the variable-leaved linden.
The conspicuous veining on the under side
of the leaves is one of its distinguish-
ing characteristics. This makes a very
• pretty tree, attaining a height of from
thirty to fifty feet. W. N. Craig.

AMPELOPSIS VEITCHIL

Will some one kindly state the cause
of a sort of blight on Ampelopsis
Veitchii? In this locality there are sev-
eral vines partially wilted, as though
something were at the roots, but it
only affects perhaps one branch. The
only thing we discover is a worm simi-
lar to the caterpillar, only smaller, but
they work in the leaves. Can anyone
suggest a remedy? S. F. C.

The trouble with Ampelopsis Veitchii
seems to be very general this year, but
it has been more or less prevalent for a
number of years. We are unable to tell
the cause of whole branches dying, al-
though we have been troubled with it
for years, nor have we found anyone who
can find a proper cause for the same.
To some extent the wholesale dying no-
ticed this year may justly be attributed
to the late severe winter. Many plants
leaved out and then withered away, hav-
ing little vitality left.

Many of the streets in Boston have
the fronts of nearly all the houses cov-
ered with Amepelopsis Veitchii, and this
dying out tendency seems to- be on the
increase yearly. In Newport, E. I,, we
noticed many similar cases a few days
ago. The (Usease acts similarly to the
fire blight on pear trees, and we hope
bacteriologists may be able to suggest
some remedy for it.

The spotting of the leaves is quite com-
mon. Spraying with Bordeaux mixture
before this blight shows itself will keep
it in check. If worms are troublesome
a dose of Paris green will clean them
out. Disparene or arsenate of lead is
equally efficacious but whitens the leaves
so much that they are rather unsightly.

The late severe winter killed many
Ampelopsis Veitchii in this section to the
ground. It is unfortunate that these dis-
eases are likewise affecting this best of
all climbers. W. N. Craig.

GREENHOUSE BUILDING.

It is the general report among green-
house material firms that the season
started very inauspiciously. The big or-
ders which may ordinarily be looked for
in January were very few in number
and were so sharply competed for that
prices were very close. There was the
.usual volume of inquiries for estimates
and the draughtsmen put in the custom-
ary amount of overtime, but it was slow
work closing up contracts, with the re-
sult that the material men had fallen
considerably below last season's record
at the time frost was out of the ground.
Since then the demand has been steadily
gaining impetus and the late business
has in many instances more than made
up previous losses. It is notable that
this season's building is by the hundreds
of scattered florists who retail their own
product rather than by the big growers
for the cut flower markets, who have
built so extensivelv in recent vears.

Baltimore, Md. — Fred G. Burger is
adding one house to his establishment this
season.

Detroit, Mich. — The Michigan Cut
Flower Exchange is building a fine four-
story brick building close to its pres-
ent location wnich will soon be ready

used for cut flowers and the second floor
for supplies, of which a large line will
be carried.

Business in cut flowers is very dull;
a week of unreasonable weather with
plenty of rain is partly at fault. We
are in the midst of a general glut. Car-
nations and roses are suffering the most,
and no fixed values are placed on stock.
Sweet peas are very plentiful and meet
with fair sale. Some few good asters
are being received, but are only bought
for the sake of novelty. Outdoor stock is
abundant. Quantities of delphiniums,
candidum lilies and gaillardias are ar-
riving.

PACIFIC COAST.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

Another week of quiet business and
very cool weather. Flowers of the
cheaper grades are plentiful but fancy
roses or carnations are not much in
evidence. The retailers do not seem to
mind that fact, however, as there is very
little demand for stock of any kind and
the cheaper they can keep their show-
windows filled with flowers the better
they are satisfied. It has been a very
favorable season for outdoor roses of
all kinds and Gen. Jacqueminot flowers
have been used more lavishly than ever
before to keep the display up. They
sell wholesale at from $1 to $1.50 per
hundred and retail at about three times
that price. Carnations, except fancy
stock, are plentiful and very cheap.
Portia, Joost and Scott can be had at
almost any figure unless they are choice,
m which caee they cost the retaUera
about $1 per hundred. The stems on
the great majority of them, however, are
weak and the flowers poor and they are
sold principally to the street venders
Crocker, Hill, Estelle, Schwerin, Triumph
and several other sorts bring $2 whole-
sale if they are good. Some fancy Law-
son are being held at about $3 per hun-
dred and this price is about as high as
anything has reached for the past several
months. Good roses are still scarce and
Beauties, although offered only in small
quantities, are bought up quickly enough
at from $1.50 to $2 per dozen. Many
of our growers are drying off their houses
at this time and that always makes a
scarcity of flowers.

largest collection of adiantums in this
vicimty and his stock looks remarkably
well at this time. He has named his
place "The Ferneries" and it fits the
greenhouses well. He will be ready in
a few weeks to cut some splendid Ions

lady birds have everything their own
way and they do a great deal of damage

found Paris green to be the best thing
to check their ravages. A tablespoonful
dissolved in a three-gallon watering pot
and sprinkled copiously over the aflfected
plants daily for a week and afterwards
about twice a week throughout the sea-
son I have found to be satisfactory. Of
course if a grower has a great quantity
of stock it is almost out of the question
to treat it in this way but I consider
this the best method. The Paris green,
being in such weak solution, dries off
the flower and does not leave any stain
that is noticeable and is perfectly harm*
less to the plant. G,

MILWAUKEE.

The Florists' Club held its regu-
lar meeting at the club room Tues-
day evening and quite a large at-
tendance was present. The club has
decided to hold a picnic at Oconomowoc
Lake, July 17, and the arrangements com-
mittee has arranged to charter a special
car to take out the party.

It appears that there will be quite a
few from here attending the convention
at St, Louis and this matter will be taken
up at the picnic to see how many are go-
ing.

Trade in general has been very brisk
right up to the Fourth of July but since
that time it has been rather quiet.

Asparagus Sprengeri is in demand at
Covent Garden, being used extensively
for filling window boxes.

Rose Perle des Neiges is a pure
white polyantha variety, with pretty and
perfectly double flowers. It was given
an award of merit when shown recently
by W, Paul & Son, Waltham Cross.

For growing specimens of Begonia
Gloire de Lorraine of the largest size,
heat, atmospheric moisture and shade
are essential. It is also necessary to
select plants for growing in this way,
choosing those which exhibit a tendency
to produce lateral shoots at each joint
of the central stem. The shoots should
not be pinched, as they branch freely
naturally, and will grow into bushy

plantfi with a central leader, whi'ib
should be supported as soon as necessary
by a neat stake. In due course the side
sLoots should be loosely slung to this
stake, in order to secure the pyramidal
habit of growth to which these plants
so readily lend themselves.

Cooper, Taber & Co. say of the
charming French pansy, Mme. Perret:
"This is a break from the Trimardeau
having a great range of colors, all the
flowers being tinged with red wine color.
Comparing it with other strains of pansy
we find /this to be the earliest largo-
flowering variety now in culture. The
flowers are not only large in size, being
two and one-half inches across, but also
delightfully sweet,"

We find on examination that many
grades of sulphur now being sold con-
tain sulphuric acid, sometimes in quan-
tity suflScient to injure delicate foliag^j.
It therefore behooves all users of sul-
phur for horticultural purposes to stipu-
late, when buying, for the very beet
flowers of sulphur, which, when shaken
up with cold water, will not appreciaSy
affect neutral litmus.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

July 7, 1904.

DENVER.

'■.'... -i*"-.' ;• .ii*^

Getting summer work finished up
seems to be the principal business of
the florists out here at the present time,
and this, when properly carried out, is
trying enough for anybody' during tho
hot days we are now experiencing. Most
of the florists have taken time by the
forelock and have nearly everything
planted out for fall and winter. Par-
ticularly is this noticeable at the Park
Floral Company's establishment. Roses
and carnations are away ahead of any
previous year. Such stock having been
planted directly after the old plants
were removed to lath houses in the field,
enabled them to take a good root hold
in the soil before hot weather set in,
and the old stock of carnations which
were replanted in the canvas houses in
May are doing remarkably well for stock
that has bloomed well throughout the pre-
vious winter. In fact. Enchantress treated
in this manner is now furnishing the best
flowers in the market. Lawson has done
equally as well and the returns from
both are very acceptable at this time,
when good flowers are scarce. Some of
those summer houses are filled with roses
and are now producing better character
of flowers than those in the open ground,
particularly in the case of American
Beauties, where the flowers are a better
color and stems much longer.

Owing to plenty of rain this spring
perennials have been exceptionally fine.
Peonies are getting quite popular on the
market, and W. W. Wilmore is produc-
ing them as extensively as the dahliaa
and of equally good character, for which
he is justly noted. The columbine is
now in its prime in the mountains. It
has become a commercial plant and much
sought after by tourists. It should be
seen m its native haunts for one to
thoroughly appreciate its beauty, and un-
der fair cultivation it is a prolific
bloomer. The Park Floral Co. could
cut, at any period of its blooming sea-
son, 1,000 sprays. The delphiniums are
now in full bloom in the foothills, Scott
had an elaborate window decoration quite
recently of D. bicolor and Aquilegia
ca-rulea, which blended very nicely and
demonstrated to some extent the floral
re.source8 of our state. More work of
like character would be much appreciate J
by the resident as well as the tourist
especially as our state is inexhaustible
in good material and some of the fratern-
ity are frequently making visits to
where they are found in all their glorv.

Ben Boldt has closed a deal with
Daniels & Fisher for a long lease on
the Mud Lake greenhouses, with the
privilege of purchasing same at any time
he desires.

Geo. Brinkert, of University Park, ha.s
about completed his new range of glass
of about 10,000 feet.

The professional anglers of the busi-
ness, Messrs. Valentine and Benson, are
making extensive preparations for an
indefinite siege on the speckled beauties
in the Gunnison country where the finny
rac^e abound in unlimited quantity
and ns large as the Scotch salmon.

BE EXPLIQT.

The Eeview is very glad to answer
the inquiries of its readers, but often it
is impossible to afford much light on the
questioner's difficulties because of in-
sufficient details in the query. Where
conditions of soil, moisture, temperature
and other important matters are not
stated it is often not possible to say
what is wrong; the best we can do is to
say what may be the trouble. Tell us
the whole story; then we are pretty sure
to find a reader who has experienced the
-same thing and discovered a way out
of the difficulty. And in queries with
regard to heating, don't be afraid to
go into details with regard to the char-
acter of the house or houses; how "^frell
built, age, exposures, etc. These are
only a little less necessary than the di-
mensions and indoor and outdoor tem-
peratures in figuring on amount of radi-
ation, etc., and in their absence the best
that can be done is to provide for piping
which will be safe under ordinary con-
ditions.

THRIPS.

The frequency with which there have
been complaints of the depredations of
tbrips in greenhouses resulted in experi-
ments in the treatment for this pest in
the greenhouses of the Hatch Experiment
Station at Amherst, Mass. It is closely
allied to the grass thrips which had pre-
viously been investigated at the Station
but of course the methods of combatting
the insects are totally different out of
doors and under glass. In the former
case burning over the infected area in
early spring, before the grass starts, is
the recommended remedy; under glass
fumigating is practiced.

It was found that burning tobacco
leaves, twelve ounces to 1,000 cubic feet
of space, in the greenhouse had no effect
on the thrips although it killed plant lico.

With lemon oil, one part to forty-eight
parts water at 120 degrees, dipping the
plants killed the thrips, most of them
being washed off and the rest soon dying.

Rose Leaf tobacco extract and Nico-
tine vaporized at a strength which did
no injury to the plants, killed the thrips
but more than one fumigation was neces-
sary to reach them all. Hydrocyanic
acid gas was also effective.

Albany, N. Y. — H. L. Menand has
opened a wholesale florists' supply estab-
lishment at 34 William street and will
also deal in decorative greens. He was
formerly at Menand 's Stsrtion.

TOP-HEAVY FLOWERS.

In judging the merits of flowers, from
the horticultural point of view, there are
many things to be considered besides the
actual beauty of the individual flower, es-
pecially as nature, in her develjpment
of the evolutionary scheme, does not al-
ways see eye to eye, as it were, witn
humanity, the plants having been shaped
in preference with a view to their better
fitness for inter-relations with the insect
wotld, and for their environment gener-
ally, independently of human influence.
Hence arise many so-caUed defects, which
it becomes the province of the selective
cultivator to correct, aa far as possible,
and it is rare indeed for any plant to
be arrived at, in which no improvable
point exists, ''.'hus, Uke tlio modest vio-
let, we may have a charming flower of
such a retiring nature as to inspire a
proverb, and as this does not meet the
cultivator's ideal or appreciation of its
merits he has, in course of time, coaxed
the tiny flower out of its leafy retreat,
and the high-class violets of today have
proudly lengthened their stalks, and en-
larged their petals, so as to vie fairly
well with their bolder sisters.

The queen of flowers, the rose, in its
many wild forms, displays itself to the
best advantage, and spreads its deUcate-
ly tinted blossoms for the delectation ot
the bees in such a fashion as to satisfy
the most critical human eye, but under
man 's selective hand, aided by nature s
wonderful sportive gifts, the simple sia.
ele flower has become in many cases so
^rge, and so overloaded with additional
petals, that their very weight becomes an
adverse factor to proper display, their
stalks being unable to bear the blossom
to show it off to the best advantage.
Hence we may have two roses of equal
beauty of flower, but the gardener gives
the preference to the one with the better
' * habit. ' '

In the cactus dahlia we have a prom-
inent case of similar kind, i. e., charm-
ingly formed and tinted flowers handi-
capped by a tendency to hide themselves
within the foliage, and such a habit of
growth is extremely difficult to correct.
So much artificiality, indeed, has been
introduced into floral culture by man, by
constant selection of "points" which
clash with nature's normal lines, that it
is little wonder that we so often find
good points in one direction counterbal-
anced by bad ones in another. Nature
has a knack of striking a sort of bal-
ance in her works, maintaining a con-
stant agreement between strains and
stresses and corresponding strengths of
structure. In culture this concordance
is too frequently upset, the flowers beina:
developed into altogether abnormal pro-
portions, which the plant not only is
called upon to bear to an unnatural
extent, but actually has to contribute to,
at the expense of its supporting power,
owing to the concentration of the bulk
of its forces in producing bloom instead
of foliage. We see a marked example
of this in chrysanthemums, which have
become so artificialized that they cannot
possibly support their heavy blossoms
without sticks and repeated tyings,
which, to the true lover of natural beau-
ty, are an abomination.

From the flower dealers' point of view,
these conditions of natural fitness and
harmony are, of course, of less impor-
tance than to the nature lover, since it
may justly be argued that flowers, which
are only grown to be cut, and enjoyed
in the cut form, can be dealt with on

purely commercial lines, and it matters
little if the stalk be too long and slender
to stand the buffets of the weather, to
which it is never intended to be exposed.
So far, 80 good, but all the same, the
line should be drawn there, and when
we see plants intended for the garden,
worked up on similar lines, it behooves
the judges who determine the merits of
such produce to reckno such defects as
had points counting against the good
ones of the flower itself. Except for
plants of naturally climbing habits, the
ideal garden should not be invaded by
sticks and ties of any description; they
should be regarded as mere crutches for
cripples, and not, aa they are now, as
indispensable adjuncts to flowers which
naturally should do without them. — Gar-
deners ' Magazine.

FROM OUR ENGLISH EXCHANGES.

The Gardeners* M<^azine.

AccOKDiNG TO M. Bernard, the co-op-
eration of a beneficial fungus is not less
essential to successful cultivation in the
case of orfihids than of some other plants.
In a contribution to the French Academy
of Sciences, M. Bernard points out that
in the course of his investigations he had
found that orchids make the most sat-
isfactory growth when their roots are
in association with the mycelium of a
certain microscopic fungus peculiar to
them. He then proceeds to say that he
has succeeded in demonstrating by ex-
periment that this association is abso-
lutely indispensable. Cultivating the
fungus by itself, and some orchids by
themselves, he found that the latter could
not thrive until brought into contact with
the mycelium of the former, when the
growth at once became normal. The
presence of microscopic fungi in greater
or less degree may, he believes, explain
much in connection with the great diffi-
culty of producing good orchids.

A German scientist has discovered that
a current of electricity in the soil drives
out the worms, snails^ etc. He was using
the current to dry a mould lying on the
ground and noticed that worms were
hurriedly struggling out of the soil. He
then experimented with a small plot of
ground. One terminal of an electrical
circuit of 110 volts was thrust into the
earth and the worms and snails at once
began to crawl out of the influence of

the current. He believes that the benefit
to plants resulting from an electric cur-
rent in the soil is due to the extermina-
tion of the parasites on the roots rather
than to any direct influence. If his de-
duction is correct we may find in elec-
tricity a means of exterminating the
minute eel-worms that so often infest
the roots of roses.

PIPING A HOUSE.

I intend to build a greenhouse 30z
100, nine feet to ridge. What is the
easiest and cheapest way to heat it by
hot water? What amount of pipes shall
I use! Shall I place the pit on the
north end or on the west side in the mid-
dle? The house will be used for carna-
tions, bedding stock, etc., requiring
about 48 to 50 degrees at night.

J. G. S.

Your house will require 800 feet of
radiation to maintain a night tempera-
ture of 50 degrees during severe weather.
To supply this amount of radiation witli
2-ineh piping it will require thirteen
runs of pipe through the house, i. e.,
1,300 feet of 2-inch pipe. If the boiler
is to be located at one end, which is
probably bes^ a 3-inch riser should be
carried under the ridge to the far end
of the house and there divide to supply
the return pipes. Where the returns
are collected to re-enter the boiler a pipe
connected with an expansion tank should
be provided and the tank placed as far
above the top of the heating system as
possible; if it can be elevated fifteen
feet above the ridge of the house all
the better. The higher the expansion
tank the greater the pressure in the sys-
tem and the greater the pressure in the
system the higher the temperature which
can be obtained in the water in the boil-
er. An expansion tank with sixty gal-
lons capacity will not be out of propor-
tion for this plant. One of the best and
in the long run cheapest expansion tanks
is a galvanized iron hot water tank such
as is used in house plumbing.

ORANGE, N. J.

The regular monthly meeting and ex-
hibition of the New Jersey Floricultural
Society for July was held on the first
instant in the society's rooms. Instead
of the brilliant display of roses of two
weeks ago, were the more stately Japan
iris and delphiniums which have never
been shown in such perfection in Orange.
It was of particular interest that the
same flowers come from so many differ-
ent hands, yet all of superior excellence.
William Barr's gloxinias were of large
size and with blooms which conceale-l
both pot and foliage. John Crogflay
Brown's collection of fruits and veg-
etables attracted by its tasteful arrange-
ment in which tomatoes, large for this
season, held a prominent place. The
plate of Lord Napier nectarine was "as
pretty as a picture." So close was the
contest for points that the entire even-
ing was consumed by the judges and
there was no essay or discussion.

Among the exhibitors were: John
Crosby Brown, Peter Duff, gardener;
Wm. Barr, Arthur Bodwell, gardener;
Stewart Hartshorn, Arthur Capam, gar-
dener; A. Von Gaasbeck, Wm. Bennett,
gardener ; Mrs. Pierson, C. Ashmead, gar-
dener; C. Hathaway, M. Hornecker,
gardener; Wm. Runkle, D. Kindsgrab,
gardener; O. D. Munn, John Hays, gar-
dener; S. and A. Colgate, Wm. Reed,
gardener; E. J. Brocket, Thos. Maybury,
gardener. The judges were Arthur Cap-
am, Jos. A. Manda and Charles Ash-
mead.

Among the exhibits not for competi-
tion were sweet peas treated by the
nitrogen fixing bacteria of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture, Washington, by
Wm. J. Hesse, of Newark.

Superior . Boilers Are Good Boilers.

Read what our customen lay about them:

South Bend, Ind , April 4, 1304.
"Superior to any Hot Water Boiler we have
ever used. You certainly have placed the right
name to your Boilers; no effort at all to keep
the temperature at desired points when zero
weather comes. Night after night the past se-
vere winter weather gave your Boiler a good
test. We are more than pleased with the Su-
perior Boiler." Yours truly, Treanor & Rettlo.

The Bermuda Lilies.

The first of the Bermuda lilies are ar-
riving and, if an early crop is desired,
there should be no delay in getting 1)hem
potted; they assuredly are not benefited
by being long out of th6 ground. Very
large growers may find it an inexpen-
sive plan to plant them on the benches
in four or five inches of soil. The
writer has tried them in boxes about
eighteen inches square and five inches
deep. It was not a success. The lily
bulb, like other higher organisms, has
each its own individuality. Some are
stronger' and earlier than others, and
when on the bench or in boxes the whole
space is occupied till the last lily is
cut. Therefore, for the grower of a
few thousand, 5-inch pots for the 5-7
bulbs and 6-inch for the 7-9s will be
found the most satisfactory and
economical method of forcing this most
important plant.

Size of Bulbs.

We hear some growers say they never
force any bulb less than a 7-9. This
size may be depended upon to give the
surest blooming bulb, but as the early
lilies are used almost entirely as cut
flowers in bunches and decorations, there
is often a considerable waste of buds
and, as you can't afford to give away
these unexpanded buds, there is fre-
Quently a kick that you charged for more
flowers than you supplied. And, again,
a stalk with two open flowers and one
bud can be arranged more artistically
than one with four flowers and two
or three buds. So, for our earlieaf
cro^ we prefer the 5-78.

Anyone who has tried to get a batch
of lilies for Easter knows how dif-
ficult it is to get in, say ninety-five per
cent just right at that date. Some four-
teen years ago, when we only ha3
Harrisii for Easter, and the disease hod
not appeared, out of a batch of 1,100
7-98 there were just seventeen lilies that
were not salable, but that was done
with infinite labor, care and alertness.
Those were the days we, ourselves,
worked and ' trusted to no one 's judg-
ment.

Now, this difference in time of flower-
ing is just what you want in the .early
forced bulbs, because you will begin
cutting, say, November 1 and continue
along until New Year's and past. At
least that is what suits the grower who
retails his own product.

The Best Method.

Plant as soon as received in 5-inch
pots, letting ,ihe top of the bulb be even
Avith the surface of the soil. Soil is
really of little importance, yet a light
loam with a fifth of thoroughly decayed
manure would be tlie ideal. Use no
fresh manure. Give them a good water-
ing and place in a frame and see that
in heavy rains water does not run in or
stand under the pots. Cover the sur-
face tf the soil with an inch of thor-
oughly rotted manure or refuse hops
and then cover the frames with heavilv

shaded sash. Place a 2x4 scantling or
a fence board on top of the rafters of
the cold frame back and front and let
the sash rest on the scantling. Then
there is a current of air ovei* the pots
and if the sash is heavily shaded it is
cooler than it is in the open air. Watch
them every few days, but with the
shaded sash they will want little water
while they are in the frame.

A9 they show a little crown of leaves
above the mulch they can be picked
out here and there and brought into the
greenhouse, and if you can bring in 100
or 200 every week you will, after all
have them in successive batches. If you
give them a steady night teihperature of
60 degrees in the house you will cut by
the end of October. Of course, no roots
have been made into the mulch, which
should be shaken off at the time of re-
moval into the house.

In concluding this rather wordy dis-
course on a very old and familiar sub-

taxes and make up for several things
that are losers, and yet about ninety-nine
per cent of us florists only guess at
what is keeping us out of the county
house.

Gimson Ramblers.

Crimson Eambler roses that were
started from cut down, dormant plants
in April, will, if they have been kept
growing in a light house and never neg-
lected for water, have made four or
or five canes five or six feet long. They are
still growing. Another mulch of rather
fresh cow manure will add to the strength
of growth and prevent rapid drying
out. If they haVe made as much
growth as you desire, they can be
moved out of doors in the full sun in
a week or two. Stand them on ashes
or boards and surround the pots with
litter, leaves or some material to keep •
the pots from dryiixg out continually.
Keep them well watered for another six
or seven weeks, because if you let them
get dry they will ripen their wood pre-
maturely and are then too liable to
break into lateral growth in October,
and that you don't want. You want
those large buds, or eyes, to remain dor-
mant, for they are what will give you
the fine breaks and trusses of bloom next
winter.

The canes will, of course, ripen up
in September and if we should get a

winter-cut lilies extremely profitable up
to Easter, I never remember having a
flower go to waste, and when you con-

occupy, ai well as the short time theV
need expensive protection, and the good
price obtained for the flowers, they are
one of the articles that help to pay

with rain, that is the time they want
careful handling to keep them from

root. These Ramblers, with anything
like decent care, will flower with the
greatest certainty and can be fvimished

with flowers and foliage to the rim of
the pot.

The Azaleas Outdoon.

Look well after your azaleas that are
plunged outdoors. They increase in size
considerably during July and August
and should not be allowed to crowd, A
fresh mulching of manure about now
will do them the greatest good, but, of
course, the all-important point is to see
that they do not suffer for water. If
they are strong and vigorous, and the
soil filled with roots, once a day is not
enough on bright, . hot days. Evening
is the time to water, principally be-
cause the soil has all night to remain
moist and the roots have long hours to
enjoy the moisture. But if by the fol-
lowing noon your azaleas are dried
out, which they likely are, as they
, should be in the broad sun, don 't be
afraid to water them. There will be
no burning, no harm of any kind, but
the plants will bless you foi* your at-
tention.

Wetting Foliage in Sun.

The question whether it is wise and
proper to water or wet the foliage of
plants when the sun is shining on them.,
was threshed out some years ago in/ff
contemporary journal, yet it seemed no
argument with practical gardeners. To
think that water on the leaves of plants
in sunshine hurts them, belongs to tho
same class of knowledge as the belief
that toads produce warts on your hands
or that a snake with its head cut off
does not die before sundown, and many
other interesting natural history facts
handed down to us by keen observers
who .flourished before the flood.

Pruning the Hedges.

^ ■ As you have a nursery column now
• which, is always interesting, I may be

. allowed to say that this is an excellent
'time to do a lot of pruning among the
ornamental trees, both deciduous and
evergreen, and particularly with almost
all kinds of hedges. I am not a friend
of hedges of any kind except where
they are needed, yet there are many sit-
uations where a formal hedge is not
out of place. As has been remarked in
your columns more than once this sea-
son, the beautiful little Berberis Thun-
bergii has no rival. It is lovely at all
seasons and lucky is the man who has
50,000 of it, for it is sure to be wanted
this fall to replace the miles of kjlted
California privet. J^pjs<?in_jj>itfifthis
beautiful, absolutely Mrdy^'shrub needs
little if any pruning, except to stop a
strong growth here and there. To
prune it into any stiff, formal shape
would spoil its beauty. Privet hedges
should now be pruned, not the severs
shearing back that may be necessriry in
the spring, but just a shortening back
with the shears, enough to give it a
trim, neat appearance, for, unlike the
berberis, a privet hedge is nothing if
not trim and straight in outline.

Evergreen hedges, of Norway spruce,
arbor-vitffi or, best of all, hemlock
spruce (Abies Canadensis) can and
should be trimmed into shape. It takes
longer and perhaps more skill to prune
these hedges with a knife, yet that 'a
what should be done. The shears on a
privet hedge is entirely right, but they
are mutilation on the evergreen hedges.
When a tree stands alone, say on a
lawn or an avenue, if not crowded, no
man can improve on its beauty of form
with a knife. A maple, beech, elm.

sycamore or any of our shade trees, is
, pleasing from its very natural irregu-
larity of growth. Still there are con-
stantly cases where trees are spoiling
from crowding. They may, by their
growth, have shut off some vista you
. wished kept open, are getting too near
the sidewalk, and there are many times

occasions when "Woodman spare that
tree, touch not a single bough," would
not be good advice or practice, and now
is a good time to use the saw and hat-
chet. You can see much bettor now,
when the trees are in full leaf, the ef-
fect of crowding than you can with
the bare branches. William Scott.

SEASONABLE CULTURE.

Planting being finished, the care of the
stock for some time will engage our at-
tention. This care consists of a mul-
titude of small duties, any one of which,
if neglected or if not performed at the
proper time, may lead to disastrous re-
sults.

Water being one of the most essential
wants, being needed in quantities suf-
ficient during the growing period to pre-
pare and keep the food in an assimilable
form, must be supplied with a deal of
intelligence and care. To the careful ob-
server, who notes all the conditions in
the house and studies the wants and re-
quirements of his stock, and keeps also
an eye on conditions outside of the housp,
the art of watering becomes a second na-'
ture and without this study it is im-
possible to approach perfection.

Ventilation, which plays such an im-
portant part in the successful culture
of the rose under glass, is too often
done in a haphazard sort of a way
and many growers, who otherwise treat
their stock fairly well, court ruin by
neglecting to study and learn the real
use of ventilators and the necessity of
maintaining a steady temperature and
a plentiful supply of pure, fresh air
which accompanies their proper use.

Of equal importance to watering and
ventilating in the summer treatment of
young stock is the systematic cultivation
of the soil. In soils suited to rose cul-
ture under glass the copious supplies
of water necessary would soon cause the
surface to cake and the body of the soil
to become sour, in which condition
evaporation is interfered with, so in
order to keep the soil in a fit state to
derive the full benefit of the water ap-
plied the surface must be kept well
stirred up.

This cultivation should be about one
inch deep and should be practiced at
least once a week until tine roots have ap-
proached the surface so closely that fur-
ther disturbance would be injurious.

Some time ago, when conversing with
a brother grower, he made the remark
that he thought I did not attach enough
importance to this subject in my notes

and, knowing the value of regular and
persistent cultivation, he thought the at-
tention of the younger growers should be
specially directed to its importance as
one of the principal factors to success.
With his views I entirely agree, as T
have never seen a good crop produced
where this was neglected- or carelessly
performed. Bibes.

DISBUDDING.

My roses are doing very finely; should
I disbud or ctit back a trifle t

L. H. W.

It is a great pleasure to know that
readers of my notes are having success
with their stock and any advice that I
give is what I have found to be best
after years of experiment, and just as
I practice myself. It would simplify
matters considerably if querists would be
a little more explicit when stating their
troubles; such as naming the varieties
they want information about, and giv-
ing details as to conditions, methods of
treatment, etc.

The method of disbudding as prac-
ticed by most experts where teas or hy-
brid teas are the crops, is to cut off
about half the flower stem. This is done
with the object of leaving only the best and
strongest eyes to form the future flower
stem. By simply picking off the buds
and leaving all the eyes on the stem
to break it naturally follows that there
are mor? eyes to sustain than can be
developed into flower stems and the con-
sequence is a large crop of blind wood.

With Beauties the case is somewhat
different. During the early stages of
their growth they are inclined to run to
flower on every point and if the -budS
are not required for market they should
be removed, taking off along with tha
bud three or four of the topmost eyes,
cutting them back just far enough to
get a good strong eye. By continuing
this practice up till within six weeks of
the time the first crop is wanted, bushv
plants with a wealth of luxuriant foli-
age, ready and fit to do good work, can
be had. Eibes.

OUTDOOR ROSES.

For the past fifteen years I have been
growing on an average of about 300
rose bushes. For the past two years I
have abolished the hybrid perpetual and
have gone to the tea and the hybrid tea.

my rose garden. I fertilize them in the
spring, or sometimes in the fall, cover-
ing with leaves and old boards and in
this way carry my plants successfully
over the winter. I have been growing
them in black soil, to which was added
some cow manure.

My roses thia year all show weak
growth, the outside leaves of the buds
become withered and many buds remain
hard and undeveloped. I attribute th\s
to cool weather. I find many of the
roses that I have planted this spring are
the same. They fail to grow, but sim-
ply remain at a standstill during the en-
tire season. I use good judgment in
watering and give them constant atten-
tion. I do not know any other way than
that I am now pursuing to force a vig-
orous growth of wood, hoping for a suc-
cessful harvest of roses.

I had thought at times that the work-
ing in of rotted manure lightens the soil
to such an extent as to interfere with the
necessary working of the roots. Also
that the soil may have become too much
impregnated with the nutriment or
chemicals received from the manure.

There are parties who recommend and
others who condemn the applica^on of
bone meal to outdoor roses, claiming
that the kind manufactured nowadays
contains so much acid that it is harmful.
I hope that some reader may have op-
portunity to briefly give me such in-
formation as might be useful and help-
ful in the successful growing of roses
outdoors. The leaves on many of my
plants are turning yellow. Others are
spotted. I give them occasional doses of
white hellebore, two tablespoons to a
bucket of water. This seems to kill the
green asphis, but I do not know whether
it will aflPect a cure of the condition
that causes the yellow leaves.

Should roses affected like mine, in or-
der to promote growth, and during the
summer, be treated to sprayings of water
in the evening or let them become dried
out and then soak them thoroughly, or
should I keep the ground evenly moist-
ened, not too wet or too dry, but about
in the condition that growers keep their
roses in the greenhouset W. W. D.

VIOLETS.

Seasonable Work.

"We are right in our trying hot
weather for the violet stock and the
grower who wants a nice, first-class
house next winter must not relax his care
now if he expects to have success. Un-
less care is taken these hot days the
first thing you will know you wUl find
that provdking little pest, the red
spider, has gotten a foothold, with the
result that the foliage is injured aurl
this necessarily means reduced health
to the plants. The better way is not
to let them get started and if you have
a good head to your water pressure and
spray the foliage with care when water-
ing the borders you ought not let them
get ahead of you, as you can knock them
off and drown them.

With us it is hot and close, which
means tbat • all the ventilation possible
must be given the houses, and we have

Panel and Shield.

not had any heavy high winds that re-
quire a house to be closed against them,
as we sometimes do, for if too strong and
hot it whips and drys out the plants
more than to have the house too warm
for a few hours. Of course I only refer
to having a house partially closed on
one side, and this only while the wind
lasts.

When the borders need watering take
time and do it thoroughly. Don't dasli
a little over the top so that it looks wet
at the time, but reduce the force so as
not to wash out the plants and go alonjr
slowly and soak it down well, using care
to avoid overwetting places that show
that they have not properly dried out
from previous waterings. Of course
this is supposing that you have your
borders well made with a proper amount
of drainage and not too heavy soil.
When you have completed the watering
then go over the house again with a fine
spray, cleaning the foliage of any dirt
that may have accidentally lodge'f
thereon, also for the spiders, as above
mentioned. Don't forget to keep a
lookout for aphis, sowbugs and all the
other pests of the violet.

If you find any stunted or slow-grow-
ing plants remove them as fast as you
find them and replace with the best of
your reserve stock, so as to keep the bor-
ders even and up to the standard.

As of course you will want to attend
the S. A. F. convention, don't wait until
a few days before you want to start to
get your violet house in order, as the
weather may be such that you cannot do
everything needful then, say nothing

about the extra work, funeral designing,
etc., that will turn up at the last mo-
ment to hinder you. Certainly you want
thorn in good shape all the time, but
have everything freshly done at least a
week ahead of the time and keep it right
there. E. E. Shuphelt.

SPACING VIOLETS.

How far apart should I plant my
California violets in benching? How
about air-slaked lime in the soil?
A. N.

You naturally have to use your own
good judgment in spacing, depending
somewhat on the size of the stock, but
as the California is a rank, coarse grower,
we would not advise planting closer than
ten by twelve inches. We consider it
advisable to use air-slaked lime in the
soil and would again refer to my notes
of a few weeks past, in which I spoke
particularly of this. E. E. Shuphelt.

CULTURAL NOTES.

Depth of Soil on Benches.

It seems to be the consensus of opinion
that the proper depth of soil to plant
carnations in, on the benches, is about
four inches after it has been watered and
settled down, which means between four
and one-half and five inches when first
filled with loose soil. Occasionally you
run across a fine bench of carnations
that are growing in full six inches of soil
and the success in these occasional cases
often leads the grower to think that the
extra two inches of soil caused it. It
has been proven beyond any doubt that
as fine carnations can be grown on four
inches of soil as can be grown on jii
bench. All the extra soil that is hauled
onto the benches is a waste of soil, time
and money. The plants do not need more
food in a season than can be incorpo-
rated in four inches of soil or can be
added to good advantage while the plants
are growing..

But occasionJllly a . grower asks him-
self, why should it be just four inches!
Why wouldi 't three inches or two inches
be enough? Most growers would shake
their heads and give you many reasons
why in their opinion three inches of soil
is not eBTbugh and at the same time none
of the reasons will really hold water.
The question of food cannot cut any fig-
ure, because if you have to feed plants
which are growing on four inches of soil
you will merely have to feed those on
three inches a little earlier and more
regularly. They will, perhaps, dry out
a trifle quicker, but those who oppose the
semi-solid beds on that principle ought
to be only too glad to adopt the shal-
lower bench for the same reason. It is
not too shallow to set the plants in prop-
erly; all you need to do is to spread
the roots a little more. The very prin-
ciple of bench culture proves that most
plants do not need much depth of soil
to thrive if plenty of water is given.

The above are the best reasons I have
ever heard advanced, but really they
won't pass, and after being blocked all
around the average grower will give you
as a final answer something like this:
"Well, it does seem like you are right,
but the best growers agree that four
inches is the right depth and the best
carnations in the world are grown on
that depth of soil."

The truth of that cannot be denied,
but we have come across a bench now
and again which proved that as good
carnations can ^e grown in three inches,
or less, of soil, as can be grown on four
inches. One case was a bench at B, Wit-
terstaetter's place which I saw last Jan-
uary. It was a bench of Mrs. Lawson
planted on two and one-half inches of
soil and a finer bench of Lawson you
could not wish to see. I do not know
how that bench held up as the season
advanced, but I imagine that would de-
pend entirely on the feeding and iftulch-
ing later on. We have noticed some-

times when refilling our beds here and
there a space which had settled to about ^
three inches but there had been no dif-
ference in the growth of the plants.
About as fine a growth of hybrid rose
wood for cuttings as I have ever seen-
was grown on less than three inches of
soil.

When you refill your beds, try a small
space (or more, if you care to), with
about thrite inches of soil before it^is
settled and watch the results. Be pre-
pared, however, if you see it is neces-
sary, to give a little extra food or water
later on, else it vrill not be a fair test.

Now comes the question of what ad-
vantage will there be in iti Will three
inches be as good as four if we will have
to water more and feed more? To tiiose
who have a farm of rich soil to draw
from it will perhaps be cheaper, or as
cheap, anyway, to handle the extra inch
of soil, but think of what it means to
the grower* who has to pay from $1 up-
ward per yard of good sod. For many
growers, more especially those who have
been gradually surrounded by the cities
they are located in, the soil question
is the hardest nut to crack. To use the
same soil two years in succession does
not seem to meet with much success and
to haul sod three or four miles costs
something, and really why should it be
done if you can grow just as good stock
with three-quarters as much of the ma-
terial which is hardest to get. If you
build your beds like we do with cinders
in the bottom there will not be the rapid
evaporation there is with the raised
benches Eind one of the objections will

be removed. The question of feeding
will naturally adjust itself. When you
see your plants need feeding you will
feed them, whether it is January ,or
March, always of course using dii'eijjudg.^'i;^^:
ment in regard to weather, season, etc? '"

We intend to teisit into this matter
more thoroughly the coming season, as
we do not care to use four loads of soil
if three loads will produce just as much
stock of equal quality. I am not pre-
pared to say that they will, but I am
inclined to think that there will be lit-
tle, if any difference. A. J. F. Batjr,

CATTLfiYA GIGAS.

Some Splendid Specimens.

Of the accompanying illustrations the
larger shows a plant of Cattleya gigas
flowering in a 12-inch basket and car-
rying sixty flowers. The picture, while
very distinct, gives but a faint idea of
the magnificent sight this plant presented
when in full flower. It had fourteen
new growths, aJl of whicli flowered,
carrying from three to seven flowers
each. The smaller illustration shows an-
other plant carrying ten flowers on one
single spike. It is impossible for the
camera to catch each flower indi-
vidually, but that they are all there can
be abundantly vouched for. This con-
stitutes, so far as is known to the writer,
a record, eight flowers on one spike be-
ing the highest number hitherto known.
These tw^o wonderful specimens are grow-
ing in the collection of D. Willis James,
at Madison, N. J., and are a tribute to
the skill of William Duckham, his gar-
dener. They are potted in American
peat and if any of the leaf -mold adher-
ents can show anything so good it will
be a pleasure to hear from them. These
plants are suspended from the roof,
where they get an abundance of air all
the time from the ventilators and where
the full sun is permitted to shine on

Many other plants of this species are
showing almost as well and betoken by
their luxuriance how well pleased they
are with their quarters.

Cultural Notes.

Cattleya gigas, or, as botanists call
it, C. Warscewiczii, needs somewhat dif-
ferent treatment to the average cattleya.
It should always be groM'n suspended
from the roof in a light, airy position.
When grown on the bench many of the
bulbs fail to sheath, though at times
bulbs will produce flowers without having
sheathed if well ripened before growth
is finished. After flowering the plants
should be kept drier and, if possible,
cooler, to rest them down, tha-idea being
to ripen the new bulbs pnd prevent them
if possible from making a late summer
growth. Where plants do break out
again there is nothing to be done but
keep them going till the last growth is
finished. During the winter months
give them the full sunlight, particularly
after the eyes are breaking, so that the
coming bulb will not be drawn or soft.

Commercially, this orchid is a profit-
able one to handle, it being the flower
par excellence for the Newport season,
providing it can be held back till July
instead of flowering, as it often does,
in May and June. Th;re are many
grand varieties of C. gigas, some of the
Hardyana types being, to my mind,
among the most gorgeo«4 of the whole
floral kingdom.

HAQ. LOSSES.

The losses paid by the Florists' Hail
Association since August 1 of last year
aggregate $16,610.22 and are the heaviest
in any single year in the history of the
concern. But all losses have been met
promptly without encroaching upon the
reserve fund. Last August the Associa-
tion had $11,000 reserve besides $13,000
cash on hand and this year's income has
exceeded $12,000. Following is a com-

specialists for th^ respective displays.

All exhibits must be correctly and legibly
labeled.

Exhibits must be prepaid to the exposition
grounds.

The superintendent will be empowered to re-
move any exhibit that Is no longer attractive.

A business card not to exceed 9x6 inches may
be displayed with each exhibit.

Any perbon who wishes to make a special
display of any kind of cut flowers at any time

The Market

Lessened supplies and light demand
have characterized the market during the
past week. Some growers are now bring-
ing in very little, concentrating their
energies on preparations for housing car-
nations and other necessary work. Boses
are seldom seen of good quality. Car-
nations of the best quality are still
weak, fair stock selling up to $2 per
100. Some Fair Maids and Enchantress
are still very good. Sweet petis are
abundant at .from 10 cents to 40 cents
per 100, aceordine,.^ quality. Pepular
varieties seem /To be Mont !^lanC|
Blanche Ferry, Countess of Radnor,
Lady Grisel Hamilton, Prima Donna and
Mrs. Sankey. Lily of the valley con-
tinues to have a fairly good sale. • A
few outdoor gladioli have appeared.
Among hardy herbaceous perennials that
useful variety Achillea Ptarmica The
Pearl is also seen. Some indoor asters
are seen. There are promises of an
abundant outdoor supply a little later.

The Exhibition*

The first of the free weekly exhibi-
tions of the present summer was held at
Horticultural Hall on July 9. There
was a splendid show, although there were
only a few competitive classes. The lec-
ture hall and loggia were crowded with
exhibits. On account of the excellence
of the exhibition, the committee of ar-
rangements wisely decided to keep the
show open until Sunday night instead
of closing it at 4 p. m. on Saturday.

For best display of hardy roses filling
fifty bottles, in twelve varieties, W. J.
Clemson, Oscar Kristenson, gardener,
and Miss Sarah B. Fay. M. H. Walsh,
gardener, made fine exhibits. For twen-
ty-five vases of Iris Kaempferi, W.
Whitman, M. Sullivan, gardener, beat
Mrs. J. L. Gardner, W. Thatcher, gar-
dener. Each had a beautiful table. Mr.
Sullivan also won for display of Cam-
panula medium. There was a keen con-
test for thirty vases of delphiniums,
three spikes in each. William Postings,
gardener to Mrs. Winthrop Chambers,
W. Whitman, and Mrs. J. L. Gardner
won in order named. |

The class for herbaceous flowers and
grasses brought out a strong entry for
thirty varieties. W. Hunnewell, T. D.
Hatfield, gardener, was first, followed
by \i. J. Clemson and the Bay State
Nurseries. Much the best collection
from Carl Blomberg was disqualified, as
it contained no grasses. The reading
of the schedule seemed to indicate that
grasses were necessary rather than per-
missible, which was intended.

From Blue Hill Nurseries, Julius Hu-
erlin, proprietor, came a grand collection
of 106 varieties of herbaceous plants.
Another extensive and very meritorious
lot were shown by Harvard Botanical
Gardens, Robert Cameron, gardener. The
following herbaceous plants shown are
especially good for florists: Spiraea
Chinensis and S. lobata, Galium bo-
reale, Hemerocallis Thunbergi, Phlox
Miss Ligard, Heuchera sanguinea,
Alstroemeria, aurantiaca, Malva mos-
chata alba, Delphinium Chinensis and

M. H. Walsh showed ^bles of cut
sprays of his seedling ramblers, Caris-
sina and Lady Gay, which were much
admired. B. J. Farquhar & Co. had
branches of the Farquhar rose and nu-
merous choice Japanese irises. Peter
Cairns had a collection of roses and
Japanese irises. W. N. Craig made a
display of sweet peas, including some
of the newest sorts. There were miscel-
laneous collections from Geo. HoUis, E.
M. Gill, J. B. Shurtleff and others. James

E. Rothwell, Emil Johansson, gardener,
received honorable mention for two new
seedling cypridediums, one named Mrs.
J. E. Rothwell being promising.

Various Note*.

Members of the flower and plant com-
mittee of the Massachusetts Horticul-
tural Society and other friends paid a
visit to the Tailby establishment at Wel-
lesley on July 12 to see a field of Mr.
Tailby 's new hybrid callas in bloom.

Suitable quarters have not yet been
secured for the new independent flower
market. It is hoped the location will
be found shortly. Anything we have
written in this column in regard to the
new flower market has been received
from very reliable sources. Mr. Ward
will understand that we never questioned
the general standing of his confreres in
this new movement. We have no per-
sonal feelingjs in the matter whatever
and assure him that fair and courteous
treatment will always be given every
one.

W. W. Tailby, son of Joseph Tailby,
the veteran carnationist of Wellesley,
was married on June 29 to Miss Mary
F. Davis, of Somerville. Mr. Tailby 's
many friends extend, congratulations.

Peter Fisher continues to send in very
fine blooms of carnations Mrs. M. A.
Patten and Nelson Fisher; these are evi-
dently good summer varieties.

J. Whidden, for some years gardener
to E. W. Gilmore, of North Easton,
died on July 11 from Bright 's disease,
with which he had been a sufl:erer for

known as a producer of violets and sweet
peas, has a superb house of tomatoes
just now worthy of a long journey to

NEW YORK.

The Market

Shipments continue from the grower
in .volume far in advance of other yearp
but the outlet seems to be dammed up,
somewhere and the "backwater" floods
the ice boxes of wholesalers. Even the
last resort is no longer in evidence, the
street merchants' brigade. Not an
ancient Greek or a son of sunny Italy
can be found on any street of the metrop-
olis. They have all flown to Coney Is-
land and other seaside resorts and are
dispensing fruit and hot corp and it will
be September before they can be depend-
ed on to take up the "white man's
burden" again.

Kose shipments are abundant and car-
nations also. The quality is quite as
good as can be expected. This will be
a year of no shortage in any line, judg-
ing by present indications. Lilies con-
tinue to arrive as though they had be-
come perennial and prices are hardly
one-third of their accustomed value.
Gladioli, too, are already in excess of
expectations. What will be the verdict
when the great growers of the east over-
whelm the market? All outdoor stock is
abundant. No definite conclusion as to
actual sales can be determined by quo-
tations of prices. Those given indicate
about what are paid for necessities. The
"closing out at any price" values are
unmentionable.

In nearly all the wholesale establish-
ments the curtains drop at 4 p. m. Flor-
iculturally after that hour Twenty-eighth
street is dead. Many of the stores on
Twenty-ninth and Thirtieth also close
early and doubtless soon the custom will
be almost universal.

Many of the flower merchants, es-
pecially in the wholesale department, are
philosophers and take what comes as a
matter of course, and are unruffled. It
will be only a few weeks more and the
clouds will lift and another strenuous
and prosperous season will be in full
blast. In the meantime the coming con-
vention will absorb general interest.

Various Notes.

The holiday fever is raging. Employer
and employe are taking advantage of
the opportunity and making the "hot
time" of restful value. Stumpp's em-
ployes and their friends to the number of
about 100 enjoyed their annual ex^uf-
sion last week, many of the wholesale con-
tingent being there. The grove was at
Eckstein's, on Staten Island, and the
bowling prizes were secured by outside
talent. Jos. Fenrich won the first prize,
a $20 stein; W. Siebrecht, second, a $15
stein, and P. Smith, of Baynor's, the
third, a $5 silk umbrella. All kinds
of athletic sports were enjoyed and the
affair was a financial success. Str^ge «
to say, with so many ladies' men in at-
tendance, no ladies were there. Presi-
dent Traendly graced the occasion with
his presence.

J. K. Allen arrived safely at Liverpool
June 29.

John Krai, with Moore, Hentz & Nash,
has been laid on the shelf for a week
with a sprained ankle.
^ Arthur Wise, of Ghormley's, is enjoy-
ing a two weeks' outing, and James
Coyle, of the same establishment, leaves
on July 18 for St. Louis, Cincinnati and
Kentucky, to be away until August.

Mr, and Mrs. Ferdinand Mangold, of
Irvmgton, celebrated their golden wed-

ding Saturday evening at Lyndhurst, the
country seat of Helen Gould, where Mr.
Mangold has been superintendent for
forty years. July 9 was also the arni-
versary of his birth, which occurred 7(5
years ago at Carlsruhe, in the Grand
Dutchy of Baden. There he began his
horticultural life in the famous Botanical
Gardens at the age of 14, part of the
nine years spent there being in the em-
ploy of King Leopold. At the golden wed-
ding a large number of friends and rel-
atives were present and many valuable
gifts were sent, the best prized being
$100 in gold and a gold clock from
Miss Gould and a gold loving cup- from
the employes.

Young & Nugent show daily a splendid
stock of cattleyas of all the best va-
rieties.

A brief call at Tarrytown on Saturday
found the F. B. Pierson Co. still over-
whelmed with work, the shipping season
having lasted far beyond expectations.
The new Piersoni will be given an op-
portunity to show its beauty at the con-
vention. The past has been the greatest
year in this well known firm's experi-
ence.

E. G. Asmus' Son is the new title of
the rose factory in West Hoboken, for-
merly known as E. G. Asmus & Son,
made famous through the dissemination
of the Liberty rose.

The annual painting and enlarging of
the wholesale emporiums is now in order.
Charles Millang has rented his upper
floor, enlarged his cut flower department
and looks spick and span in a white
enamel front.

Bowling has been laid on the shelf for
a couple of weeks, owing to the extreme
heat and the absence from the city of
some of the leading members. The club
feels confide it of a fair representation
at St. Louis and a team that will about
equal the record of Chicago, St. Louis
or Philadelphia.

Ealph M. Ward writes that business
in Europe in his line is very good. He is
en route to Vienna, Rome, Naples,
Grenoa, Marseilles and Paris and will
shortly sail for home.

J. McManus is handling some fine
Doweana and gigas cattleyas and has
often a dozen fine varieties of orchids on
hand to pick from.

William Ford, of Ford Bros., has fully
recovered from his week's illness, his
especial regret being missing the out-
ing. He had everything cut and dried
for the- fat men's race, running at 22.5
pounds. With the Sterling Fishing Club
he will shortly enjoy his annual holiday
at Bamegat Bay.

Mr. Trumpour, of Small's, who made
such a brave fight for first honors in the
mile race, won last year the arm chair
given to the best runner over 45. He
made a lot of the youngsters quit this
year also.

Clarence Saltford, who sprained his
ankle in the ball game, is still on
crutches at Bhinebeck.

Frank Frank, the retail florist of
Eighty-seventh street and Third avenue,
and Joseph J. Levy, will begin their
holiday with two weeks fishing at Lake
Huntingdon, Sullivan county, on July 25.

William H. Donohue and William
Hanft, lie\itenants of Thomas Young,
Jr., are away for a month's vacation.

It is asserted that the manager for a
prominent wholesaler on Twenty-eighth
street will lead a handsome young lady
to the nuptial altar on July 16.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

Business is flat and unprofitable this
week, the beginning of summer, as one
of the retailers put it. Let us hope
that a summer commencing in the middle
of July will be short. The weather has
been cool, good for root action and for
health, as shown by the small number of
funeral orders. The quality of flowers
is fair for the season, the outdoor stock
giving needed variety. In roses, Beau-
ties and Kaiserins lead, with some nice
Liberties, and those fine Westerly
■Bridesmaids of S. S. Pennock's. The
same Bhode Island town also sends fine
blooms of Carnation Lillian Pond to the^
above named wholesaler. This, with
Prosperity, Flora Hill and Mrs. Lawson,
are best now. Valley continues to come
in steadily in good form. Leo Niessen
has L. auratum and L. Harrisu. Asters
have come; Edgar & Co. have a purple
variety. There is plenty of smilax.
Sweet peas are declining, both in quan-
tity and quality.

A Solarium.

After a season such as the one just
closed, one does not naturally expect
much building, so the cheerful smile and
ready response of D. T. Connor, who
so ably represents the Lord & Burnham
Co. here, to the question of "anything
new?" was a pleasant surprise. This
firm has furnished material for a house
30x150 for J. Butter Hess, of Gap, Pa.;
one house 37x110 for Fred Eitchie, Lan-
caster, Pa.; one house 20x60 for William
Gibbons, and a sun parlor at Dr. Kirk-
bride 's asylum for the insane at Forty-
fifth and Market streets, West Philadel-
phia. This sun parlor or solarium, as
it is called, will be quite unique. It
will be 35x50 feet, entirely covered with
glass and built in the most substantial
manner. 'It will be fitted up handsomely
inside, with tables, chairs, rugs, plants,
books, magazines and writing materials.
It is the gift of two sons who present
it to the institution in lo\-ing memory
of their mother, who spent some years
of her life there. The work is expecte«l
to be finished in September.

Roses.

Bef erring to the letter of "Bibes" in
your issue of last week, the July planted
houses of Beauties to which I referred
did yeoman service from Thanksgiving
until Lent. The firm which grew them
is among the largest and most successful
of Philadelphia's Beauty growers. The
eastern rose growers heartily welcome
"Ribes" and are glad he has become one
of us.

Various Notes.

George G. Fleming and William H.
Patton, at the Bittenhouse nurseries,
have succeeded M. F. La Roche at Col-
lingdale, Pa. They expect to grow cut
flowers for the wholesale market and to
do landscape gardening.

M. Bice & Co. received 160 eases by one
steamer last Saturday. They are work-
ing overtime to keep pace with the
heavy imports.

^"^ieo Niessen continues to receive fine
newv/crop Beauties from Carl Jurgens,
of w^wport, B. I.

H. Bayersdorfer & Co. expect between
200 and 300 cases of florists' supplies
this week. Samples of this stock for
the coming season will be shown at St.

CHICAGO.

The Market

Receipts have been reduced materially
since the last report and the market is
no longer encumbered with the over-
supply which has been such a problem
to the wholesalers for the past couple
of months. Replanting roses has result-
ed in reducing supplies- to a mere frac-
tion of what they were a month a^o.
The quality on the whole is up to the
usual summer average but there are
still too many of the low grade. There
are only a few Beauties available but
plenty of Liberty and Meteor. There
are also enough good Brides and Brides-
maids at hand to meet the very light
shipping demand, for local trade is con-
fined jirineipally to fune]:al work. Prices
are a little better than last week.

The growers are also flS^inning to
throw out the carnations preparatory to
replanting and this has had its effect
in reducing the surplus. But there are
still more carnations than the market
requires and prices are very low.

The oversupply of sweet peas is still
very largely in evidence. The glut of
Easter lilies gave place to an unwieldy
stock of candidums, which have in turn
been sxicceeded by the auratum, which
is now coming in in good quantities
but maintaining prices fairly well. Glad-
ioli are practically out of the market for
the time being. There are still plenty
of peonies. Besides stock from cold
storage, fresh stock is still coming from
northern Michigan. The peony season is
likely to last till August this year.
Shasta daisies and coreopsis have been

in favor and occjisionally are hard to
find in the market. There is plenty of
most outdoor stock.

Various Notes.

D. W. Brant has leased the interest
of L. M. Noe in the firm of Brant &
Noe, at Forest Glen. Mr. Brant has
been tlie western representative of the
firm ever since it was established, Mr.
Noe having large interests at Madison,,
N. J., and in New York. Mr. Brant
will continue the business exactly as
heretofore. He is tearing down one
house and a portion of another and will
rebuild as one first-class structure 38x
185. The planting of carnations wHli
be largely increased for next season.

A. Kennicott says that his supply of
peonies will hold out all this week and
possibly well into next. He says the
peony season all along has been about
three weeks later than the average year
and prices have shown the effect. He
says that the last thousand dozens this
year will not be worth to him over $300,
where last year the last thousand dozens
brought more than $700. He is not,
however, looking for old-time prices in
the future, believing that the supplies
have become too large to permit of it.

It is reported that N. K. Welter, at
Evanston, will abandon carnation grow-
ing and give his space to lettuce and
cucumbers. John Evert, of Rogers Park,
"will do the same thing and there are
others who have the same step in view.
But several of them are thinking that
it is a good deal cheaper to make a
start at lettuce than it will be to stock
up with carnations again if the lettuce
doesn't do so well next year.

Geo. Reinberg has decided to drop
Perle from his list of roses. He is one
of the few growers who have had this
rose this year. There is very little call
for it in this market.

E. C. Amling has returned from a
week's fishing trip. A. C. Kohlbrand
will leave Saturday night for northern
Wiscxjnsin to spend two weeks with the
muskallonge.

Bassett & Washburn report that they
are now completely sold out of rose
plants. In general rose stock has not
been in its usual demand this season,
but this firm has had a very satisfac-
tory business on grafted plants. Mr.
Vvashburn is in the Wisconsin woods
for a couple of weeks.

E. H. Hunt is addinp considerably
to his space by double-decking a consid-
erable part of the store. The office will
hereafter be on the upncr floor.

Mr. and Mrs. Louis Winterson are at
home from their wedding trip. It is
reported that another member of the
Winterson firm is shortly t.o take unto
himself a wife.

There is every prospect of a good sale
at the Fuchs auction today. A consid-
erable part of the stock has already been
sold, the Wittbold 's buying all the rub-
ber plants.

Klehm 's nursery is sending Kenni-
cott Bros. Co. a' great variety of out-,
door flowers which are useful for win-
dow decorations.

A. L. Vaughan and family have re-
turned from Louisiana, where they have
spent six months.

C. W. Ernie has been spending a few
days at Terre Haute.

On Tuesday evening the scrubs heM

ladies now have a tournament of their

two handsome prizes for a series of

Among the week's visitors have been
George A. Heinl, of Toledo, and his
brother, John G. Heinl, of Terre Haute;
Joseph Bock, of Burlington, la.; W. A.

CINCINNATI.

The Market.

We are now having what you might
call our first real summer weather. The
temperature rises very near to 90 de-
grees every day. It is needless to say
what effect this is having upon stock in
the greenhouses. It is what we have to
expect, though and we ought to be thank-
ful that stock held out as long as it
did this year. There is a good demand
at present, due largely to the many fu-
neral orders, and the supply is not equal
to it by a good deal. AH of the whole-
sale houses are early cleaned out of what-
ever stock they have that was salable
and their ice boxes are empty. Especially
is this true of carnations, which Jjave
suffered most from the heat of the last
few days. Even those from the north
are rapidly deteriorating in quality.
There are not nearly enough to take care
of the demand at present,

Roses are very much in the same state,
but some few growers have managed to
make their cuts hold out in very fair
shape. Some very nice Kaiserins are to
be had in limited numbers, also Liberty.
Some Beauties come in now and then
that are fine for so late in the season.
Other varieties of roses are in most
cases awfully poor, ffhere is a good
lot of outdoor white stock that has sold
out quickly. A few lilies find a ready
market, ^Iso some gladioli. Sweet peas
are still in oversupply.

Various Notes.

Trimble McCuUough, son of J. Chas
McCullough, the seedsman, sailed on
steamer Victoria from Seattle, Wash.,
July 2 on a pleasure trip through Alaska,
stopping at Sitka and Nome and pos-
sibly continuing his trip through Si-
berian waters. He expects to be gone
two or three months, in company with A.
J. Trimble, a director of the steamship
company.

The picnic committee is putting fortli
its best efforts to make this year's out-
ing a great success. D. Rusconi, one of
the committee, has already disposed of
over eighty tickets and I hear that others
are not far behind. All that is neces-
sary now is a fine day. The date is
Thursday, .July 21, the place. Coney
Island.

The regular meeting of the Florists'
Society was held last Saturday evening,
newly elected President Ben George in
the chair. The rapidly approaching
meeting of the S. A. F. was discussed
and a committee consisting of E. G
Gillett and J. W. Rodgers was appointed
by the chair to look after transporta-
tion. From present indications there will
be quite a crowd from this city.

Wm. Rodgers is about to install a new
boiler. It ^will be considerably larger
tlian the old one and capable of taking
good care of his plant with the newly
added glass. C. J. Ohmer.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Business since the Fourth has been
very slow among the retailers. The
weather has not been any. too good dur-
ing the week just past, almost every
day heavy showers, which made the
nights cold. The democratic convention
did not bring the expected increase in
trade, though some of the down-town
florists haa quite a few orders at the
different hotels where headquarters were
established. From now on the retailers
will be buying lightly and Boston ferns
apd palms are the only window displays
seen.

At the wholesale houses plenty of
stock is to be had, but not of the first
qu&lity, especially so in roses and carna-
tions. Of the roses, American Beauties
are none too good, color very pale, but
the best sell for $2 per dozen, shorts
from $4 to $6 per 100. In smaller rosea,
Ivory looks the best for while, at $6
per 100 for choice. Maids, too, are oflf
color now. Liberty and Meteor are plen-
tiful and so are Bride, Golden Gate and
Kaiserin. These range in price from $3
to .$5 per 100. Some extra fine valley is
to be had at $2.50 per 100.

Carnations are very small and fancy
Slock is liard to get. Colored stock is
very poor, white l^ing much better. The
Lawsons that come in are especially of
poor quality. The average price is $1.-50
per 100, but a few extras bring $2.

The biggest overstock in the market
is sweet peas. These are sold very cheap
in big lots and they come in by the
thousands. A few good asters are in but
not enough to go around. Outdoor stock
is very plentiful.

Various Notes.

The growers are still busy benchinj;
chrysanthemums and replanting rose
houses. They report that the rainy
weather has interfered greatly with their
outdoor work. Quite a lot of building
is going on in Kirkwood, Webster Grove,
Old Orchard and in the southern part of
the city and all want to be through with
their work by convention time.

William F. Kasting, who has been with
\is all of the last week attending the dem-
ocratic convention, left Saturday night
for Chicago. While here he visited
some of his old friends whom he knew
twelvp years ago when "Billy" worked

for The Jordan Floral Company. He
also visited the World's Fair and the
Pike. He claims he had better luck than
his Chicago friends, Phil Hauswirth and
George Asmus, who were here a week
previous. Mr. Kasting predicts a great
convention next month and says that Buf-
falo will be on hand as big as ever. The
Kasting cup, which he will present to the
Florists' Bowling Association, will be
the finest ever competed for by the flor-
ists' bowling teams.

A. L. Vaughan, wife and daughter
spent Friday in St. Louis at the exposi-
tion. Mr. Vaughan had a few moments
to spare to call on friends. They were
on their way back to Chicago to live,
after spending six months in the south.

Paul Neuman, who has charge of the
Holy Name cemetery at Buffalo, is tak-
ing in the fair and visiting the different
cemeteries about the city.

A. Berdan is sending to this market
the very best of lily of the valley, which
is handled by Frank Ellis.. The other
Kirkwood florists are sending in thou-
sands of sweet peas. Those of Pilcher,
the Tides, Gross and Winter are very
fine. John Connon, of Webster Grove, is
also sending in some good carnations and
sweet peas.

Superintendent Kuehn reports that a
great deal of space is taken for the trade
display and as the convention is only
five weeks away those who contemplate
making an exhibit should make applica-
tion for space at once, so as not to de-
lay matters at the last moment. The
souvenir book is now in the hands of the
printer and will be ready for distribu-
tion by August 1. This will be one of
the handsomest books ever gotten out.
Messrs. Koenig, Ammann, Weber, Beyer,
Tesson and Ostertag, the other chairmen
of committees, are all hard at work to
make the convention a grand success.

At the World's Fair the horticultural
features are now at their best. The
floral clock is attracting great crowds
of people daily. There are plants of new
varieties of cannas to be seen, also ev-
erything that is new in the plant line.
As to heat, we have it as cool as any
city during the month of August. Come
next month and be convinced.

Peckham is cutting some fine gladioli
and sweet peas. All the florists report
the best season on bedding plants they
ever had. W. G. Kroeber is busy build-
ing his new greenhouse.

The Florists' Club is to have an out-
ing on Friday, July 22, and a ^reat time
is expected. It was voted to invite the
florists who are not members to join
the party and help to make the outing
a great success. This is the club's first
attempt to have an outing, and we all
hope to make it a really good time.
Friends of the club have put up a purse
of $25 for a baseball game between ihe
store men and greenhouse men. E. H.
Chamberlain is manager and captain of
the store team, and Edw. Blum of the
greenhouse team. The greenhouse men
say they are going to put the st^jre team
out of business to square themselves for
the knocks they have had to take the
past season for the poor stuff they have
brought in for the store men to tnW.
There is also to be a fat men's race for
a box of cigars, and a hurdle race, be-
tween the clerks of W. P. Peiree ano E.
H. Chamberlain. A. B. HathaAvay las
challenged any of the members to climb
a greased pole, but as yet no one has
accepted. ' C.

Seed Trade News.

AMERICAN SEED TRADE ASSOCUTION.

Pres., C. N. Pagre, Des Moines, I» ; First Vice-
Pres., L. li. May, St. Paul; Sec'y and Treas.. C. E.
Kendel, Cleveland. The 23rd annual meetlur
win be held on tbe St. Lawrence, June. 1906.

L. W. BowEN, of D. M. Ferry & Co.,
Detroit, is in Europe.

At Louisville the onion sets are about
made. The dry weather has shortencl
the crop considerably.

Visited Chicago.— W. C. Langbridgc,
representing J. B. Rice Seed Co., Cam-
bridge, N. Y.

In Michigan, the bean fields are look-
ing well. The stand is good and tho
outlook promises an average crop if good
weather continues.

W. B. LoNGSTRETH, Gratiot, O., grows
the onion sets to supply his local" trade
and reports the crop looking well July
9, the season generally cool, and wet.

Good rains in the sections of Michi-
gan where radish seed is growing have
helped to push the plants along. The
outlook is now more favorable for-^H
crop.

"The yield of cucumbers from acre-
age under contract to picklers will be
heavy if the weather is favorable, as a
large acreage was planted, ' ' says a west-
ern pickler. .

In Wisconsin early peas have blos-
somed and are beginning to set pods.
Present conditions point to a fair har-
vest of Alaskas and extra earlies. The
dwarf wrinkled sorts are not so prom
ising.

Jamestown, N. Y.— The Walter Mott
Seed and Bulb Co. reports local trade,
embracing the territory within a radius
of twenty-five miles, as very satisfactory,
considerably in advance of last year,
in spite of a poor season, late spring
and wpt weather.

The cucumber crop seems to be doinu
well thus far. The plants are backward
but appear healthy. From the present
outlook, it all depends upon the weather
from now on, as the stand at this date
ia about as good as it could be under
the circumstances.

At Chicago the onion set crop looks
well in some fields; in others the thin
stand, owing to rough ground at seed-
ing time, will cut down the quantity
that should be harvested. The later
plantings, which it was thought might
come along properly, still show lack of
seasonable growth and will hardly ma-
ture more than half a crop.

In some gardening sections this year
complaint is made that head lettuce runs
to seed instead of making a head. A
check in the growth of the plant is re-
sponsible for this. Changeable weather,
one day hot, the next cold, will some-
times cause it. Drouth followed by wet
will do the same. Beet and many other
crops will run to seed under the same
conditions. The present season has been
unusually hard upon the growing plants
and it is likely that things of this kind
will occur. Gardeners who have been
at the business for a number of years
understand this from experience, and
it is not an unusual occurrence.

Visited Indianapolis. — S. F. Leonard,
Chicago.

Crops of one or two important lettuce
varieties are reported failures by a Cali-
fornia grower.

Musk melons, squashes and pumpkins
are not doing well, and a short seed
crop is in prospect.

California reports that the onion seed
crop is likely to be much shorter than
former advices indicated.

CATALOGUES WITHOUT STAMPS.

There is much interest among seedsmen
and nurserymen in the matter of mail-
ing catalogues in bulk, without stamps
affixed, prepayment being by cash. A.
A. Berry, of Clarinda, la., took the
matter up with his postmaster and he
in turn with the Department at Wash-
ington. The correspondence is self-ex-
planatory. The first letter is to the
Eeview from Mr. Berry, as follows:

We herewith encloie a letter to our post-
master, from tbe authorities at Washington, In
regard to a matter that the seedsmen have been
patiently working ou for years to bring to pass.
You can see that it is now a reality. At the
recent meeting, held at St. Louis, the matter
was up before them and nothing definite was
Icnown and we believe as yet the facts are not
known. Jhls will be quite a boon for all mall
order houses and especially seed houses, as the
affixing of stamps is quite a task when from
100,000 to 200,000 catalogues are sent out; be-
sides it sares the risk of handling postage
stamps, as there is always more or less loss In
affixing them. So .vou will see It Is quite an
advantage for this ruling to be4n use Indeed.

The following is the reply of Mr.
Madden, third assistant postmaster gen-
eral,, dated June 25, to the inquiry of
the postmaster at Clarinda, la.:

I am In receipt of your communication of
the 15th instant, in relation to the provision of
the Act of April 28. 1904, making appropria-
tions for the service of the Post Office Depart-
ment, ete., under which not less than 2.000
identical pieces of third and fourth-class matter
may be accepted, upon payment of the proper
amount of postage and under such regulations
as the Postmaster General may prescribe, for
transmission in the malls without postage
stamps affixed.

The Department will formulate the necessary
regulations, which will be made effective as
soon as practicable, and will be given publicity
through the press and otherwise.

It having been reported at the Seed
Trade convention that a ruling had been
issued to cover the operation of the law,
the Review on July 1 applied to P. E.
Coyne, postmaster at Chicago, for a
copy of the regulations. His reply, un-
der date of July 5, was as follows:

Replying to your communication of the Ist
instant. I beg to state that the department has
not Issued any orders which provide for the
mailing of catalogues in bulk without stamps
affixed.

BRITISH TRADE LAWS.

In the British House of Commons in-
quiry was made as to the advisability of
some amendment in or addition to the
law as it now stood for the better pro-
tection of agriculturists and honest seed
merchants. The following reply was re-
ceived from Mr. Fellowes: "A case iu
which certain foreign seed was sold as
English clover was recently brought un-
der the notice of the board. Proceed-
ings were instituted under the merchan-
dise marks act, and the vender was fined
£10, with 6s. court fees and £21 towards
the cost of the prosecution. This result
goes to confirm the conclusion arrived
at by the departmental committee of
1900, who expressed the opinion tha*
there was no practical difficulty under
the existing law in the way of obtaining
thoroughly i;Jood and reliable seeds by
those who know how to set about it; I

but we shall be very happy to give full
consideration to any representations or
suggestions which may.be made to us on
the subject." \

« PUEBLO, COLO.

The greenhouse owners are beginning
to recover from the ' terrible hailstorm
of last May. All of them have bought
glass to reglaze the houses. G. Fleischer
was the heaviest loser. He is short on
flowers for his retail store. He has men
cleaning out broken glass, tons of it.
He will rebuild some of his houses, as
the wood was pretty well rotted out.

Charley^ Wallace has bought out his
partner, D. M. McMurray, and will go it
alone. Mr. McMurray has rented the
Harry Baker greenhouses and will prob-
ably grow flowers. They have beep
used for vegetables.

The J. J. Thomas plant has cleaned
up the several tons of broken glass and
is putting on the new glass and growing
a crop of cucumbers. They were badly
damaged by the hail but will turn off
nearly half crop. The Thomas houses
grow vegetables exclusively.

E. G. Donnell.v .las bought glass and
will begin repairs at once. So will C.
0. Zimmerman.

The Florists ' Hail Association was
hit pretty hafd but responded in fine
shape and at once. The association
stands high in this neck of the woods.

A wonderful downpour of rain to-
day makes outdoor stuff look fine.

J. T.

Pittsburg, Pa.— Fire did a couple of
hundred dollars' damage in the store of
Randolph & McClements July 5.

Jacksonville, III. — Joseph Heinl &
Sons has been incorporated. The capital
stock is $20,000 and the incorporators
are Joseph Heinl, Harry Heinl and Wil-
liam Heinl.

MoNTPELiER, Vt. — Alex Emslie has
made an arrangement with F. P. Carleton,
the well-known sweet pea grower, by
which he will handle his entire cut of
sweet peas for the season.

RocKviLLE, Ind. — D. A. Graham has
sold out his business here to Howard
Brubeck and has removed to Joplin, Mo.,
where he will start in business with two
modem greenhouses.

Indiaxapous, Ind.— F. A. Conway &
Co. have brought suit against Cook &
Schmidt, bricTt manufacturers, in Jus-
tice Smock's court for damages they
claim has been done to their stock by
dust from the bricks. Conway & Co.
ask $50.00 damages.

Anoka, Minn. — Trade is again quite
good, after two weeks very dull. Bench-
ing is well under way at the Pratt-Ford
greenhouses. They had fine success with
Lawson, Enchantress and Prosperity in-
doors last summer, and are growing more
that way this season. H. E. Philpotc,
of Winnipeg, was a caller here both go-
ing to and returning from the St. Louis
Fair.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

JULZ 14. 1904.

NEW HAVEN, CONN.

Business has settled down to tka
usual sununer conditions, trade being
chiefly confined to funeral work. Roses
are far below the average but caxna-
tions are good for this part of the sea-
son and will be less plentiful eacii week,
as the growers are starting to empty
their houses of plants and soil. The
hard work has started for the growers.
While the retailers are at the shores try-
ing to get a nice tan on their bodies,
the growers are getting their tan i under
glass.

The month of June has been a record
breaker as far as cut flowers and late
bedding plants are concerned. Never
before in this city were there so manv
sweet peas sold during the month of
June. Six or seven years ago there was
only one grower who raised sweet peas
to bloom during the spring months,
but each year has seen one or two more
growing them until this year they are
grown by every one whose houses allow
head room enough for the vines. The
demand has been unusually good and
each grower has sold them to advantage.

A -few asters and some dahlias are
seen now and then but the salvation of
the retailer is the sweet pea during the
summer months. 8. H. W.

BOILER AND PIPING.

What size boiler do we require to heat
three houses 18x70 feet, the temperature
ranging from 35 to 50 degrees or more?
The houses have glass gables in one end
and are built east and west. Would a
boiler eight feet long, three feet in di-
ameter and containing twenty-two 3-inch
flues heat the buildings? What would
be the horse-power of such a boiler?
What size of flow pipe would it be ad-
visable to use? We were intending to
use a 2-inch flow with 1-inch returns,
the houses being heated by steam.

K. & M.

The three greenhouses in question
would each need, to maintain a tempera-
ture of 50 degrees during severe weath-
er, a 2-inch riser under the ridge and
twelve 1-inch returns running the full
length of the houses. These houses re-
quire about 1,000 feet of radiation to
maintain 50 degrees with steam under
five pounds pressure. To supply this a
boiler with about 130 feet of heating
surface would be needed. The boiler in
question, which is eight feet long, three
feet in diameter, with twenty-two 3-inch
tubes, if set to work, as a return tubu-
lar, would give about I'OO feet of heat-
ing surface, which would provide a good
safe limit of capacity for the houses in
question. L. C. C.

Last year a very destructive epidemic
due to the fungus called Cercospora mel-
onis inflicted a loss of over $100,000 on
the cucumber growers in the south of
England.

INDOOR GRAPE CULTURE.

I read with much interest, first, the
notes on this subject by Mr. Croydon
and then those by Mr. Scott and, as T
have been in a position to study this
subject at close range, perhaps a few
remarks may be of interest.

The chief question is, can grape grow-
ing be made to pay in this country! A
year or two ago I would say yes, but
today I am more pessimistic as to the
results. Mr. Scott speaks of a Belgian
grower whose grapes netted him $2 a
pound in the New York market. I
doubt, if that same grower is shipping
to New York today, whether he nets
one-fourth of that sum. It seems to me
that the growers of Europe are using
the New York market as a dumping
ground. By shipping large quantities
over here they are enabled to relieve the
congestion in their own market, and
as the cost of transportation is practi-
cally nothing, they, owing to the cheap-
ness of production can sell cheaply and
still stand to make a small profit. The
commission dealer in New York docs
not seem to care for the home-grown
grapes so long as the imported article
is in the market. It is discouraging to
a man with perhaps a ton of grapes
hanging on his vines to be able to sell
only thirty or forty pounds in a week,
and on top of this have the dealer send
word that no more should be sent until

he calls for them. In my humble opin-
ion a market has to be created before
grape culture here will become profitable,
and some one stand to lose money in
creating that market. . The retailer at
the present time seems to want at least
150 to 200 per cent profit and the re-
sult is that while the price to the grower
is painfully low, the cost to the con-
sumer is painfully high, and this high
cost means naturally that consumption
is curtailed.

Mr, Scott's statement that where one
pound could be sold thirty years ago
500 pounds could be sold today, is not
borne out by the facts. I do not think
we can ever see the miles of graperies
here as they are in Europe, because
the cheap native grape seems good
enough for the great majority of our
people and until the public is edu-
cated to the taste of the indoor grape
(which education, as I have previously
intimated, would cost money) the Mus-
cats and Colmars will simply be used
only by the very wealthy.

The difference in the cost of produc-
tion here and in Europe makes all the
difference between profit and loss.
Friend Scott says, in speaking of the
tedious work of thinning the fruit, thai
**very cheap help could be taught
that." The question is, where is th<!
cheap helpf Even an unskilled laborer
who cannot speak English asks and re-
ceives in this section $1.50 per day.
Most of the thinning in England is done
by girls and women, who do not make
more than that in a week. I fear our
American women would not take up tho
job at any price. With the present price
of glass and other building requisites,
not to mention the mechanic's wage,
we cannot begin to put up houses as
cheaply as they do on " the other side. ' '
The price we have to pay in wages to

our skilled growers to look after the
crop is more than double and on everj'
hand we are confronted by higher cost
of production.

To offset this we have a duty of only
about 5 cents a pound, I believe. Mr.
Scott says "so much the better if they
came in free." Since they are eaten
only by the rich, why would not a duty
of 190 per cent ad valorem be a good
thing? Then when the American grower
got his houses going and began to show
signs of being a bloated plutocrat :t
would be a good time to cut down the
duty and chasten his spirit.

It is easy to talk about our improved
methods and machinery putting us on
a par with other countries, but is it al-
ways true? Why is it, for instance, that
while we have land here to give away
the European farmer ships thousands of
bushels of potatoes to the eastern ports,
pays a duty of 25 cents a bushel and
competes with the market grower on
Long Island? The European farmer
pays three or four times as much rent
for his land and yet, even with that
handicap, he must produce his product
more cheaply or he could not compete.

Friend Scott refers to Mr. Herringtou
and Mr. Duckham in his remarks. Mr.
Duckham does not grow fo^ market but
as I had the good fortune to be fore-
man for Mr. Heifrington for some
years I know fairly well how the crops
farad with him. In those graperies 100
feet long and thirty feet wide we pro-
duced something like a ton of grapes
in each house. The houses were four
years coming into full bearing, which
must be taken into account. Now, figur-
ing 2,000 pounds of grapes at a sell-
ing price of 50 cents per pound will
give $1,000 for a house. With the
present fierce competition, for the
European grapes are now in the market
the whole year, the price is liable to run
even lower. Mr. Herrington has private
ways of disposing of much of his fruit
but to the man who proposes to grow
strictly for a wholesale trade and who
may expect to see his selling price gel
less every year, I would say, "go slow,
and investigate fully before you jump. ' *

I am no pessimist but, having been
watching the market closely for some
years, I have come to the conclusion that
it will not pay me to engage in the
grape growing business.

The fifth annual picnic of the Park
Floral Company's employes was cele-
brated on the Fourth of" July. Picnics
are an every-day occurrence", but this
one of the Park Floral Company, held
through the generosity of its president,
Mr. Valentine, is somewhat original iu
its character and deserves more than a
passing note. Perhaps in all this broad
land of ours there is not another event
of like character, where the employer
furnishes everything in connection with
it to make it a success, and better still
lends the presence of himself and fam-
ily to assist in the entertainment and
join in the sports. Eecreation of this
kind is what the florist wants and en-
joys. From the hot greenhouses to these
mountain breezes is a change much ap-
preciated by the employe, and particu-
larly by those who have recently ar-
rived here and are daily viewing the
snow-capped hills from their places of
labor. The reunion of old friends who
annually attend, the social features of

the event, the literary entertainment
joined in by visiting friends, the numer-
ous puns of Mr. Valentine, as well as those
of his father, who is a past master in
the quibbling of words, will long be re-
membered by those present. Songs and
recitations were slightly indulged in;
eloquence of speech was totally insuflS,-
cient for the day and occasion, but Mr.
Valentine responded to a call in his
easy way, paying just tribute to the
memory of his departed friend and co-
partner, A. B. Seaman. The old em-
ployes of the firm, some of whom havo
been with it since its inception, ami
helped to steer the craft when the cap-
tain was below, were highly commended
for their good work in the hours of need
and the younger members were advised
to go on and do likewise. Fishing,
hunting and various athletic sports were
carried on at intervals, and one of the
attractions as well as instructive fea-
tures of the day was the gathering of
wild flowers for which this region is
justly noted. One little girl picked
thirty-four varieties and won the first
prize of a silk umbrella. Prizes were
offered in every contest, which were
really entertaining to those participat-
ing. Sixty adults and about twenty chil-
dren comprised the party that filled a
special car which was side-tracked in
the beautiful South Platte canon along
the banks of the Platte river. Seven
hours were spent in this delightful re-
sort and all returned to the city satis-
fied that the fifth annual picnic of the
Park Floral Co. was the best of them all
in every respect.

A variety of sentiment and refresh-
ments were indulged in by several other
of the various floral establishments of the
city, who allowed themselves to be
piloted by Benson to a beautiful grove
at Petersburg. No set program was ar-
ranged, so indolence reigned. There was
another king present, but he was soon
dethroned and everybody was happy.
Boldt and Kurth pronounced the re-
freshments of the first order, and Rey-
nolds, who is a bit of an epicure him-
self, substantiates the above. Scott,
who was merely taken along by the
boys to overisee the affairs and check all
physical excesses, carried out his in-
structions personally, by deed and ac-
tion. Scott says it was the best and
most orderly picnic of its kind he ever
had the pleasure of superintending.

Hamilton & Plummer expect to move
their Third street greenhouses from the
present location to their Terminal park
establishment, only a sales oflBce and
show room being left on Third street.
The down town houses have been unsat-
isfactory for some time as a producing
place, and the idea is to centralize all
the growing at the Terminal park estab-
lishment. When all the greenhouses are
consolidated there will be in the neigh-
borhood of 25,000 square feet of glass,
which will compare favorably with any
establishment of this kind in this neigh-
borhood. Special attention will be given
during the coming year to the production
of carnations and a number of new vari-
eties will be grown.

Patrick O'Mara sends us a number
of excellent snapshot photographs made
at the recent picnic of the New York
Florists' Club.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

359

The progressive, keen and discerning
florist will this year buy of this
standard introduction that is freely

Conceded to be the best of all Adlantums.

A GREAT ACQUISITION.

The best of all'ferne for cut fronds. Brimrs the highest prices.
The easiest to grrow and the easiest to sell. Has received the high-
est encomiums from the leading cut flower dealers In the country.

ADIANTUM CROWGANUM originated at Utlca, N.Y.. about
fourteen years ago, and has been extensively grown by the original
owner, Mr. Crowe, who has received phenomenal prices for the cut
fronds In the New York and other markets, and has created a great
demand for It. Buy now. Buy liberally and reap the benefits.

The fronds are long:, elegantly proportioned and of a texture
that renders It the best keeper and shipper of all Adlantums. It Is
a very free and continuous grower, requires no rest and responds
readily to fertilizers. Anyone can grow it and get good money for It.

INTRODUCER'S DESCRIPTION. Free grower, the dark-
est green of the Adlantum family and longest stemmed. It has alSQ
the most graceful foliage; the average length of the fronds meas-
uring 30 Inches. It Is by far the best keeper. Cut fronds can be kept
fresh several weeks in a cool place. It is also one of the best ferns
for a dwelling house. I have given presents of this fern to several
Utlca friends, and from my own observation note It grows better
than the Boston fern. I gave up rose cultivation some ten months
ago In order to devote all my attention to fern cultivation for cut
fronds. I find from the same amount of bench room this fern pays
me II 50 to every 11.00 obUlned from roses. PETER CROWE.

KEBPINO AND SHIPPING QUALITIES.

Witb reference to a quantity of fronds sent to Liverpool,
Eng., the recipient writes from that port, June 17. 1904, as fol-
lows : " The ferns were as fresh as when they were first cut
and I believe you can safely send them to Europe, provided
they are as carefully packed as these were. They are simply
perfect." ISlirned] Thomas B. Proctoe.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

July 14, 1904.

PACIFIC COAST.

PORTLAND, ORE.

We are pleased to be able to report
a good June business, with nothiiij» ex-
traordinary having i inspired. There
■was a steady demand for choice ma-
terial for the educational and hymeneal
events which characterized the month.
Commencements are becoming a more
and more important factor in the flor-
ists' trade and there were more flowers
used this year than ever before.

The brides ' favorites this season were
white roses arranged in shower effects,
and the result was that some very artis^
tic work was executed, but the supply
of roses fell short of the demand and we
were obliged to resort to the carnation,
using Flora Hill or Goethe. The latter,
when made up with Asparagus Spren-
geri, became quite popular and" is much
sought after when pink is preferred.

Funeral work, too, was much in evi-
dence, and we noticed several handsome
designs quite original in construction.
During the month we were fortunate in
having plenty of fine carnations and
longiflorum lilies. Carnations will con-
tinue good all through July, but the
lilies could not stand the racket of the
glorious Fourth and took their de-
parture. We are suffering from lack
of rain and outdoor stock, which looked
so promising a few weeks ago, is now
almost a failure. The 'display of roses
has been magnificent and was the ad-
miration and wonder of eastern tourists.
The extreme heat and drought, which
we are not accustomed to here so early,
is ruining the prospects of a midsum-
mer crop.

We have had with us this week an in-
teresting visitor from Fruitvale, Cal.,
in the person of Ralph Clarke. Six
years ago Clarke Bros., of this city,
built a range of glass at Fruitvale to
grow cut flowers for their Portland store
and Ealph was assigned to the man-
agement. This is his first visit home.

H. J. M,

PAPER WHITE NARC3SSL

The Paper White narcissus is one of
the best paying cut flowers we have in
California, Our climate and soil seem
to be well adapted to its flowering and
multiplying and, if any attention what-
ever is paid to it regsirding watering,
there is no trouble in having a succession
of blooms from November until the end
of March, it is of the easiest culture,
only requiring that it be transplanted
every third or fourth year and the weeds
hoed out three or four times a season.
They can be grown very close together
with perfect safety. I iiave s«en in this
vicinity 100,000 bulbs planted on an
acre of ground and they gave no evi-
dences of being crowded. If the bulbs
are not artificially watered they will not
bloom generally before February, but
it is my custom to give them a good
soaking about the last week in August
and another about two weeks later.
This starts them making roots and when
our season 's rains begin, about the mid-
dle of November generally, they are al-
ready partially in bud and a good suc-
cession of flowers can be had for sever-
al months. When the patch of bulbs
depends only on the winter rains to start
them growing I have found that they
get nicely started just about the time

we begin to have our frosty weather, do
not make much progress for several
months and by that time all the little
scattered fields of narcissus are in bloom
under the same conditions and the grower
realizes very little for his flowers.

When it is necessary to dig bulbs in
this latitude I have found the end of
July to be about the proper time to
handle them, as by that time they have
liecome sufficiently matured to suffer no
shock from transplanting. When it is
desired to bring bulbs into flower late
in the season I do not replant before the
first of January, as there is no difficulty
in keeping them until that time. Nar-
cissi do not seem to be very particular
as to the soil they are grown in, pro-
vided they are in a situation where they
get thoroughly dried out and have a
good rest in the summer. They do
very well under the shade of such trees
as do not make many fibrous roots near
the surface and in such a location very
long stems are invariably produced.

We do not grow narcissi to any ex-
tent under glass, as with us it is such
a cheap flower that it does not pay for
the trouble. Regarding the prices real-
ized on the coast, we sell the flowers,
when they first come in, at an average of
$1,25 per hundred. When they become
more plentiful they drop in price to $1
per hundred and in the early spring,
after we h^ve had a few days warm
weather, and they are offered by the
thousands, they can be bought as low as
from 50 to 75 cents per hundred grtems.
The price for bulbs here is from
$5 to $7 per thousand rnd, as they mul-
tiply with great rapidity and need al-
most no attention, they are, when prop-
ery handled, one of the best paying prop-
ositions the growers have, G,

SAN FRANCISCO.

Good flowers are still scarce and will
be for several weeks to come. By this
I mean carnations, roses and lilies. Out-
door stock is plentiful enough, but it is
only used for show by niany of the flor-
ists and is not in much demand unless
indoor flowers are not to be had. The
weather has been cool for several weeks
and what few roses have been offered
have been of fair color but weak
stemmed. Carnations are holding their
own and if we had any spurt in business
they would be in short supply, Thrips
have made their appearance in a great
many places. Lawson and Hill seem to
have suffered most. Valley is in fair
supply and also L. longiflorum. Jap-
anese irises are disappearing fast and
the showiest flower we have at present
is the gladiolus. They are being brought
into the stores in large quantities and.
although there is not much cail for them.

This has been a very good season for
outdoor stuff, in fact so good that many
receptions and parties have been held
without much aid from the florist. Out-
door carnations are doing well and look
exceedingly promising. J. F. Marshall
is growing his carnations in a novel
way, or at least it is novel in this sec-
tion of the country. He put 10,000
plants into strawberry boxes out-
doors and when planting time
comes he simply takes off the boxes and
sets the plants so, thus saving the work-
ing roots. The boxes are better than
pots, since they are larger and being
square they pack closer, taking up less
room and hence are easier to care for.*

The parks are looking better this sea-
son than usual as the foliage is so dense
and luxuriant. Dorothy Perkins roses
at Union park have been exceedingly
fine and the fact that it is entirely
hardy has proven it to be the rose for
this climate.

Park Commissioner E. J. Fairall has
gone west in search of health. He had
expected to accompany "ye scribe" to
the convention but his physician ordered
him to southern California.

John D. Lambert and W. L. Morris
have just returned from a few days with
hook and line. We hear that Lambert
caught 106 pounds of fish, and we saw
one pickerel which he brought to his
father that was thirty inches long. He
declares that he caught it with a frog
and not with an eagle.

Des Moines will not be strongly rep-
resented at the convention this year.
Our State Fair will be held the latter
part of August and those attending the
convention will have but a little while
to prepare for it after returning.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

July 14, 1904.

LOUISVILLE, KY.

Business the past week has been very
quiet. We have had a very dry spelJ
and it was hard on all plants, especial-
ly on field carnations, but on Friday
came a fine rain and it made things
look fresh again. The carnations in
this section are not up to last year,
growth rather small.

The Kentucky Society of Florists lield
its monthly meeting July 5, at Eiver
View park, and it was largely attended.
The object of the meeting was to see
if the members would agree to raise
the prices on all kinds of plants as all
kinds of material .have advanced, espe-
cially coal, and lots of other things
which florists must have.

Jos. Coenen & Co. 's house of carna-
tions, all the latest ones, is doing fine.

F. Walker & Co. have moved into
their new store on Fourth avenue and
are ready to do a big business.

Miss Alice Miller has moved from
her old stand to Jefferson, between Sec-
ond and Third streets.

Wm. Mann is suffering with a bad
carbuncle.

J. E. Marrett and family will attend
the Elks ' festival at Cincinnati July 18.

Mr. and Mrs. Jno. Bohrman have Jeft
on their vacation and will be gone some
three weeks. They will visit Evansville
and the St. Louis World's Fair.

Nanz & Neuner, out at St. Mathews,
are making a very fine rustic entrance
to their place. Hy. Lichtefeld.

PIPING.

Will you please state the amount of
return pipe a 2-inch flow' will feed? We
have a 3-inch main and wish to heat six
runs of 2-inch pipes 124 feet long, three
runs under each bench. Our idea was
to take two 2-inch flows from the 3-ineli
main and carry them to the far end of
the house, there feeding the 2-inch re-
turns. The boiler is four feet below
the returns and we can raise one inch in
each ten feet. C. & F. D.

There is little doubt but that the
scheme proposed would work quite sat-
isfactorily. My idea would be to carrv
the 3-inch flow pipe under the ridge to
the far end of the house, there divide it
into 2-inch branches and feed three re-
turns under each bench from each of the
branches. A 2-inch pipe is capable of
supplying about 400 feet of radiation
and as the six 2-inch pipes 124 feet
long only have 481 feet of radiation,
one 2-inch supply is nearly large enough
to supply all six of them. With the
fall which can be given it is quite safe
to say that hot water can be made to
act quite satisfactorily in this length of
pipe, although in general it is not best
to endeavor to circulate hot water in
runs of pipe exceeding 100 feet in length
without a circulating pump.

L. C. C.

I AM very well pleased with the Re-
view, and find it a great help. — H. C.

The We^y Florisis' Review.

July 14, 1904.

TORONTO.

The MitrkeU

We are now ^eltled tc the routine of
July lousiness, which cannot be said to
be anything above the ordinary. Stock
has been coming in qiiito plentifully and
quality graduaUy deteriorating. Boses
and carnations are especially plentiful.
Since the peonies axe done there has been
quite a call for lilies and other large
flowers for designs. George Guard has
brought in the first Lilium auratum seen
in town this season.

Various Notes.

T. A. Plum, one of Yoiiga street's en-
terprising florists, fias purchased Mr.
Butterworth 's greenhouses on Howland
avenue. Mr. Plum is liguring on grow-
ing a good portion of the cut flowers he
will want for his store in future. Mr.
Butterworth, who is one of the oldest
florists in Toronto, has retired fro'n
active business.

J. S. Simmons carried off first and
second prizes with his delivery wagons
at the open-air horse sho-,v on July 1.
He has bought a new dapple gray horse
which he considers a sure winner in any
company.

The Toronto Horticultural Associa-
tion had an enjoyable outing on July
6 in the form of an excursion to the
Guelph model farm.

The florists of Toronto, as well as
amateur horticulturists, are at present
working hard completing plans for the
big flower and fruit exhibition to be
held in Toronto this fall. The prize
list for the flower section has just been
issued and is the most elaborate that
Toronto florists have had the privilege of
competing for, something over $1,500,
besides medals and certificates, being in
the list. Those who have not had a copy
of the prize list should write the To-
ronto Gardeners' and Florists' Associa-
tion, E. Collins, secretary.

The Canadian Horticultural Associa-
tion meets at Ottawa August 9 and 10
and those wishing to have a good time
should take it in. D. J.

Superior Boilers Are Good Boilers.

Read what our customers say about them:

South Bend, Ind , April 4, 1304.
"Superior to any Hot Water Boiler we have
ever used. Tou certainly hJEtve placed the right
name to your Boilers; no efCort at all to keep
the temperature at desired points when zero
weather comes. Night after night the past se-
vere winter weather gave your Boiler a good
test. We are more than pleased with the Su-
perior Boiler." Yours truly, Treanor & Rettlc.

Propagating Alternantheras.'^SIR

Carpet bedding has largely gone oui-
of fashion, but not entirely, and that
most useful of all little plants for this
purpose, the alternanthera, should be
propagated about the ond of the month.
I am aware that many lift the plants
at the approach of frost, putting them
in flats and pulling tliem to pieces in the
spring. I like better to put in the cut-
tings in summer time. With two inches
of sandy soil and the cuttings put in
thickly in the flats, they <vill now root
like chickweed in any shady place and
the flats can be kept out of doors until
danger of frost. This little tropical plant
winters Avell in these flats if kept on
the dry side. You don't want them to
grow during the winter and a high tem-
perature is not necessary if they are
kept dry or only enough water given to
keep them from shriveling up,

Coleus Cuttings.

This is not a bad timo, either, to take
a few dozen cuttings of the varieties of
coleus that you msh to grow. The coleus
is a victim of the mealy bug and the
plants are not worth cleaning. Some
varieties, notably the \aluabie yellow
Golden Bedder, are also troubled with a
rust. By August 1 yoa will, from the
plants outside, be able to oret vitjorou.^
cuttings, bugless and rustless, and before
cold weather they will be strong young
l)lant8 in 4-inch pots and will give you
more cuttings, as well as thriving in less
heat, than the little puny plants propa-
gated late in September.

Primula Sinensis.

The Chinese primula does not enjoy
the hot weather we are now having and
there is no better place for the young
plants, the earliest of which may now
be in 3-inch pots, than a frame with
shaded glass and the sashes raised back
and front as described last week for the
lilies. There is always danger with plants
in a frame that it is "oat of sight, out
of mind, ' ' unless it is 'iome man 's spe-
cial duty to attend to the frames. If
there is any danger of neglect, keep
them in tho greenhouse but. while
shaded, in a position where they get free
ventilation, or thev will -rrow soft and
ong leaf stalks. ' These primulas de-
light to root into leaf-mold and when vou
shift them use a third of it.

Primula Obconica.

Primula obconica has been so remark-
ably improved in size and coloring that
>t has about driven Primula Sinensis to
the woods. It was a long time before
the many good qualities of P. obconica
^vol•e appreciated, except by a few. For
tiiu last few years it has taken its place
as one of our most valuable winter bloom-
ing plants. If is diffii-ulr to say what,
tor an inexpensive i)lant, is more showy
and lasting and its season is long. It
does a wonderful lot of growing after
ool<l weather sets in. A frame is a very
good place for tho little plants now,
whether in flats or pots, but they don't
want as much shade as the Chinese prim-

roses and on dull days Avould be better
fully exposed without any covering.
Neither is leaf-mold so essential for the
obconica. A good yellow loam, with a
fourth of well rotted cow manure, will
grow them finely. Don 't forget that
obconica is most useful as a cut flower
for designs, etc. It is now one of the
all-around indispensables.

Growers* Busy Season.

It appeals to me, in watching opera-
tions, that while this and next month
are the very dullest for sales, and almost
a shut-up time with th3 store men, it
is yet a heavy, laborious time with the
grower and the hardest work of the
year has to be done in the hottest
weather. Benches to be emptied and re-
filled for carnations and roses, and per-
haps some mums and violets yot, and if
this hot spell lasts a few more days we
will be busy with the hose. This is
not laborious; it should be a pleasure.
Our continent is so largo and climate so
varied that while we muy be watering
asters, a water spout or thunder storm
may be flooding some other locality. "We
are getting dry and, if J:;ood results arc
looked for, water must be applied. 1
have, in years gone by, spoken against
the abuse of the hose and have not al-

(reraniums, particularly, need no arti-
ficial watering if once Avell established.
If the soil in our gardens and fields
was trenched two feet Jeep, as the Eu-
ropean nurserymen often do, there would
bo little need of watering.

Now, the reverse of these favorable
conditions with us is vhat our fields
where asters, carnations, stock geraniums,
cannas and many other things are planted,
have been ploughed only seven or eight
inches deep. There are a whole lot of
ploughmen who will make the eight
inches six inches if you don't watch out.
Then many a grower is late in getting
out his stock and hot, dry weather sets
in before there is a strong root growth.

Growers of experience, those who have
moved from east to west, say that with-
out irrigation it would be ipipossible to
keep alive, much less grow anything, in
Colorado and perhaps other states may
be even less favorably supplied with
water in the good old summer time.
So conditions must be studied in our
eastern states. Some seasons there may
not be two successive weeks without a
copious rain, and again we have all been
occasionally two months without a drop.
Water is the staple food of plants, but
liow to apply it artificially is the gar-
deners' knowledge. This sprinkling that
you often see done, wetting the soil per-
haj)s one inch below the surface, and
leaving it baked and caked at that, is
nothing but an apology for watering
and I truly believe worse than nothing,
not a quarter as much good as a hoe-

ing.

Necessity for Watering.

For instance, if you got your plants
out the veiy earliest opportunity that
was safe in the spring, then with such
frequent showers as we have had up to
now, the roots of the [>lants would be
deep down, strong and vigorous and Avith
frequent hoeing to ke 'p the surface
loose and allow free evaporation and
ensuing rise of moisture from below,
little need would there be of watering
for many of our flower garden plants.

flower is plucked as soon as developed.
When allowed to go to seed your vines
will soon stop blooming. Hoe between
the rows deeply, then spread three inches
of stable manure between tho rows com-
pletely covering the ground. Then you
can let the hose run for half an hour
on one spot and that will be thoroughly
watered; with the mulching it will be
a long time in drying cut; at least, in
the driest of weather, i o watering will
be needed for a week, with proper culti-
vation.

Different localities and conditions and
conveniences may find different methods

THE ADIANTUMS.

Ed. Review: — Since naming my new
fern plants Adiantum Croweanum, about
a year ago, I have heard through other
parties that there are a great many grow-
ers who claim they have the same kind
of fern as mine. I have sent fronds of
my fern to some of these parties and
have had no reply afterward from them.

I have on* my place several kinds of
adiantum, such as cuneatum, decorum,
concinnum, Bausei and Mr. Ley's hy-
bridum, which, when in young plants, it

would take experts to point out the very
slight differences, but when from five to six
months old there is a vast difference in
all kinds. Those growers who claim they
have the same fern as Adiantum Crowea-
num, if they are good growers, why did
they not push it for all it was worth
when they found they had a money
maker?

Now, I challenge those men to exhibit
samples of their plants at the florists'
convention in St. Louis in August. I
want them to put up or shut up. I will
have a few plants of my fern at that
convention, also a few hundred of the
cut fronds. "Will also have a few plants
bf other kinds of adiantum,

Peter Crowe.

MULCHING.

Plants that were set out on the benches
in May now have the soil filled with
roots and to keep things up to par a
light mulch is necessary. This mulch
will serve a double purpose. It will pro-
tect the roots from the hot sun and af-
ford nourishment to the plants. The
bed should have a dusting of fine bone
meal, the finer the better, and then a nice
layer of half rotted oovv manure, from
half an inch to one inch in thickness.

I always prefer cow manure to any
other for this mulching because it is mild
and does not burn the roots, If sufficiently
decayed. Do not use fresh cow manure
by any means, or the ammonia rising
from it will strip all the bottom leaves
off the plants and kill all the feeding
roots. If one has nothinoj but the fresh
manure, it should be mix^d with an equal
bulk of dry soil and turned over several
times before being used. Sheep manure
that has previously been used for mak-
ing liquid makes a fair top dressing,
but I would not care to use it fresh as
received from the dealers. Some growers
use leaf-mold to top dress with, mixing
with it either fine bone, or a highly con-
centrated fertilizer like Clay's, and it
seems to work very well.

Whatever is used, do not delay too long
in putting it on, the idea being to keep
the plants moving along nicely without
a check of any kind. Always remember
in feeding a plant tli-'*
applied frequently is very much better
than a strong, dose of anything applied
at once. In the absence of any kind of
manure suitable for top .Irossing, tobacco
stems scattered over the bed will keep it
from drying out too rapiJlv and help
to keep down the blask and green fly.

Watering with liquid water need not
yet bo commenced unless you are grow-
ing your plants in pots or boxes and
think they really need it.

Seasonable Work.

Routine work mostly is now in order.
By killing all the butterflies that you
find in the houses much of the work of
chasing caterpillars will be done away
with, though there are always enough
to keep one from getting lonesome.

Keep the side shoots and suckers picked
off and have the plant grow on in the
straight and narrow wav. Do not neg-
lect the tying up of your plants uutil they
are falling all over and getting crooked
in the stem. The keynote of chrysanthe-
mum growing is never to put off till to-
morrow what should be done to-day.

Where plants are producing buds, some
little care is |ecessary. Pinch out the
bud and leave' the throe or four young
shoots all grow until you can see that
they are not blind; then select the best
one and remove all the others. This
disbudding should not be hurried, be-
cause it sometimes happens that a shoot
makes one or two leaves and then goes

blind after it has apparently started
away all right. As a general thing I
have found that the second bhoot below
the bud is the best one to retain.

A New Pest,

Hearing of a new pest that is raising
havoc with a friend's plants, I journeyed
to see it and found that it is a serious
matter. It is a grub about an inch long,
with a light-colored head, and having
a violet-colored stripe running down
from the head to the tail. This grub
seems to penetrate the plant at a point
where the bark is soft, and then bores
its way right up to the top of the plant
eating out all the center of tlie stem
and leaving nothing but the outer bark.
The whole plant, of course, collapses
and the grub then seems to move on
to the next one, and <je process is re-
peated. Occasionally he turns round, and
bores down to the soil, coming out at the
base of the plant. It is a new grub to
me and I certainly hooe it will be a
stranger to all my readers. It is very
active and gets away in double quick
time when disturbed, A'ith the humpy
movement common to most of the type.

It seems impossible to suggest any
way of getting rid of 't. Its method of
getting all its food from inside the plant
[)recludes the possibility of using poison,
and about all one can do is to cut off
the plant and kill the borer after the
damage is done. Where it passes its
existence up to the boring stage I cannot
say, but it seems to appear out of the
soil. I feel positive in saying that the
eggs are not deposited in the plants to
hatch out. If any reader .^an throw any
light on this fellow, such information
would be greatly appreciated.

CARNATION NOTES.-EAST.

FiIIia£ the Benches.

The first of August should see a great
part of the field grown stock in the
benches. Many growers hesitate to
throw out the old plants if there is a
prospect of a few good blooms ahead,
but the longer old stock is held, the less
time the new plants will have to become
firmly established in their permanent
quarters; besides many varieties, if left
in the field until the middle or last of
August, get too large to handle well.

Medium-sized plants are preferable as
a rule. They will lift better, can be
housed more rapidly, will take hold of
the soil sooner and in finishing their
growth must necessarily get more firmly
established than large plants nearly or
quite mature. The exception to the rule
is with slow-growing varieties of the
nature of Mrs. Bradt, which, to give

paying returns, requires large plants at
housing time. However, this should be
provided for by early propagation.

If planting is deferred till late the
rush of work often necessitates putting
off needed repairs to benches and hurried
filling of same, when in point of fact
this operation demands thorough work
and time to do it well. Filling benches,
while seeming to call ehiefiy for main
strength, nevertheless needs considerable
common sense and intelligence mixed in
if any degre of success is looked for.

One of, the main objects is to have
the soil of equal density throughout and
this is much easier to accomplish by
arranging the help to level the soil as
fast as brought in instead of dumping
large quantities here and there and level-
ing afterwards. One may think, from
appearance, a bench to be properly filled
but after planting and several good
waterings the defects, if any, will show
when it is too late to remedy them.

Some growers advocate putting manure
in the bottom before filling with soil and
others regard the practice as a waste
of raw material. After reported expri-

ments I would recommend about an inch
layer of not too well rotted horse manure
sprinkld fairly well with bone meal. Have
the manure moist when spread, immedi-
atly apply the bone and cover with soil
at once.

Several years ago we tried tobacco
stems in a section of bench which had
no manure at the bottom of the other
sections. Careful observation all winter
and spring failed to show any advantage
whatever in using the stems.

I would not recommend planting a
bench immediately after filling, or even
the next day. If possible allow a week
or more to intervene between filling and
planting. During that time the soil gets
settled and numerous weed seeds sprout,
which are destroyed by a thorough rak-
ing in of a sprinkling of air-slaked lime
a day or two previous to planting, at
which time a watering may be needed to
put the soil in just the right mechanical
condition. Geo. S. Osborn.

CARNATION NOTES. -VEST.

Size of Plants.

There is a great diflE.;rence in opinion
as to whether it is best to plant early,
regardless of the size of the plants, or
to wait until the plants have grown to
a certain size, even though it may cause
one to plant a little late. Nearly every
grower likes to plant strong, bushy
plants, with fifteen or twenty ehoots ready
to start into growth, rnd such plants
can easily be had by September. But to
have such plants by July 10 is quite an-
other question and up to August 1 you
will usually find more plants with less
than a dozen good leads than you will
find with over that number. Even with
early propagated stock you will find this
to be true, and among plants grown from
cuttings taken after February 1 you will
find mostly from six to ton shoots to the
plant.

Personally I do not Ihink anything is
gained by leaving the plants out after
August 1 to gain size. If the plants
average very small I would not advocate
extremely eariy planting, but I would
oy all means get my plants housed eariy

in August, even thougli the plants be
small. You can set two plants together
or plant a little closer if you like, but
you will find that the plant will grow
as rapidly in the house during the fall
months as they would in the field. If
a plant has made enough growth in the
field to require the third topping, which
will mean about eight shoots, I would
not hesitate to bring it in. Such a plant
will take hold quickly and if planted be-
fore August 1 it can be topped again
before it is allowed to come into bloom
and by September 1 it ought to have
fifteen good young shoots ready to run up
to bud. They will be more certain
to run up, too, than if the fifteen shoots
had been started in the field before the
plant was brought in.

Give me a medium sized plant in pref-
erance to a large one, always. A few
seasons ago we bought several hundred
plants of Flora Hill late in August. Most
of them came out of a batch of medium-
sized plants, all except 100, which were
very large and bushy, with at least
twenty or more shoots to each plant. No
doubt the grower thought he was doing
us a favor by sending us those fine, large
plants, and we thought so, too. But in
less than six weeks we changed dur minds.
The smaller plants went right to work
and bloomed early, while the large ones
just stood still and looked sick until to-
ward spring.

You can notice the same thing right
along in your beds. You will always find
the smaller plants recover quicker than
the larger ones and if any of them die
you usually find them among the larger
ones. You will always find more dead
leaves on the larger plants when you
clean them off later on. The medium-
sized plant will throw a few less bloom-
ing shoots the first crop, but you will
find the stems grow longer and the blooms
come larger than those on the large
plants. The difference in the quality
alone will make up the difference in the
quantity of the first fall crop. You will
also find less tendency to crop with the
medium-sized plants later in the winter.

The foregoing is taking for granted
that you plant early, say before August

15. If you choose between medium-
sized plants August 1 and large plants
September 1, then you will find the
medium-sized early plants even more
preferable. A. F. J. Baxjb.

FREESIAS.

We have one house planted in mums.
They are planted ten inches by twelve
inches apart. If we plant freesias be-
tween the rows when the mums show
buds will the freesias do wellt We have
never grown them before and as the
mums are early ones we thought the
freesias could be done that way so they
could have the room after the mums are
gone. How long does it take freesias to
bloom, and narcissi? Will freesias do
well in flats with two and a half inches
of good, rich soil! A. E.

To plant freesias between chrysanthe*
mums is a very poor combination, the
worst I can think of. Your mums are
so far apart that to make them profitable
you should get at least three blooms to
each plant. They will shade every inch
of the ground and their roots will occupy
all of it. Don't do it.

You can grow freesias in 5-inch or 6-
inch pots, seven or eight plants to a pot,
or you can plant them in flats of three
and a half or four inches of soil; two
and a half inches is rather shallow.

The best freesias I have ever seen were
grown on a bench, such as you use for
carnations. The corms were about three
inches apart and the rows about five
inches. Freesias are beautiful, delicate,
sweet scented flowers and deserve gen-
erous treatment. The time from plant-
ing to flowering will depend somewhat
upon the temperature and season. In
midwinter in a carnation temperature
it may be three months. Don't forget
that a freesia is not a bulb. It is a conn
and starts to grow directly it is planted
and does not need covering or darkness
to keep top growth dormant, as is nec-
essary with the true bulbs, tulips, hya-
cinths and narcissi.

The narcissus family is a large one and
their time of flowering varies greatly

when forced. Supposing you planted all
the forcing narcissi as soon as received,
say tiio end of September. Then you
could liave in flower the Dutch Von Sion
by early January, Golden Spur a week
or so later, Princeps about the middle of
February, and some fine narcissi cannoli
be flowered satisfactorily until the mid-
dle of March. The French grown bulbs

of some narcissi are received in August
and can be had in flower much earlier,
the well known Paper White in early
^■iovember, the French Trumpet Major in
December and the pretty yellow Camper-
nelle flowers easily by Christmas, so
mere is a wide difference in the adapta-
bility for forcing among narcissi.

PRECAUTIONS.

During the bright summer weather
green fly, while not so troublesome as
during tiiL> winter montlis, sliouid be care-
fully looked after and kept in check. A
systenmtic fumigation once a week tlur-
ing these months will reduce their num-
bers to such an ext<Mit that they will be
easier to manage during the winter.

Our ever present enemy, red s[)ider.
should also share our attention, and all
nooks and corners where the syringe
cannot have full plaj' sliould be thor-
oughly inspectecl, as it is there tliey con-
gregate, nmltiply and if not combatted,
will soon overrun a house.

During the season when firing cannot
be resorted to mihlew is still our most
troublesome and insidious enemy and it
is only by do.se attention to ])rovidiug a
supply of pur?, fresh air, avoiding
draughts and a judicious use of the sul-
phur blower that we can escape having
trouble with this pest.

So that the plants may derive the full
benefit from the fresh air supplied, and
to facilitate syringing, supporting and
training the bushes should never be neg-
lected. By keeping the growths in an
upright ])08ition the eyes will break
stronger, thus avoiding that strawy, we
formation of wood wliich can never ]>ro-
duce a high grade bloom, but is more
likely to be followed by a heavy crou
of blind wood, which, as one of my cor-
respon<U^nt8 naively remarks, ' * does not
command much of a price even durinij
the holiday season. ' ' Kibks.

PROTECTING ROSES.

Is the American Beauty hardy? Will
it stand zero weather? How should one
make a cold frame to keep rose plants
over winter? What attention do they re-
quire during winter? Sometimes it e^ts
as low as zero. G. W. R.

Yes, the American Beauty is hardy,
and in New York there should be little
trouble in keeping it over winter. Of
course, this depends altogether on con-
ditions. If the soil is of a cold, moist

nature and the fall happens to be wet,
if they survive at all, they will in all
probability be frost killed to the ground.
A light, dry mulch put on after the
ground is frozen will afl'ord a good pro-
tection.

Any ordinary frame that is deep
enough to hold the plants laid on their
sides, with ample room for a good cover-
ing of dry litter or loaves, with a board
or sash covering to keep out the wet,
and a covering over all to protect thfem
during very severe weather, will suffice.
WTien danger from hard frost is past
the covering should lie removed and tiie
plants gradually exposed to the light.
After a few days of this treatment they
can be planted in their summer quarters.

RiBES.

ROSES AND GREENS.

Can roses and Adiantum cuneatum be
grown successfully in the same house?
if so, under what conditions? How would
asparagus do in the same house with
roses? W. J.

The temperature of a rose house would
suit adiantum but the amount of fumi-
gation required by roses would be fatal
to them. There are no conditions unde'"
which the two can be grown together
successfully, and the same objections are
applicable to asparagus. A partition
across the house, if carefully planned
and executed, would make conditions more
suitable for both of these crops.

RiBES.

OUTDOOR ROSES.

I read the article 'Outdoor Roses"
that appeared in the last number of the
Kevikw and, iis W. W. D. asks for in-
formation concerning the behavior of his
plants ;ind methods of tulturo, 1 venture
to give our experience ;;long that line.

First, in answer to the inquiry as to
the cause of the condition of the i)lants:
The cause of the we ik growtli and un-
developed buds is lack of proper nour-
ishment, causetl by slow i.r dormant root
action, which is affect«>.l by cool, wet
weathef and souring of the soil. This
inactivity of the roots also causes the
leaves to turn yellow and drop off,, also
promotes blackspot, a fungus growth
which causes the spots noticed on the
leaves.

Pure bone meal, fr-'v from acid, will

do no harm, and will promote free flow-
ering. Hellebore will :iot kill aphides,
as they suck the sap from the tissues of
the plant. Spraying the plant with wa-
ter in hot, dry weather would be benefi-
cial, but not neces3ax'y to vigorous
growth.

We make our rose bed where the soil is
well drained. If the soil is a good clay
loam it is all right. We dig the soil
twelve inches deep, and to every three
cubic feet of soil add one cubic foot of
thoroughly rotted manure. Set the plants
in the spring as soon us hard freezing
weather is over. Water when necessary,
but never overwater. Keep a mulch of
fine soil over the bed by cultivating,
after every rain as soon as dry enougu.
Stir the soil close up to the plants and
about two inches deep. This airs and
sweetens the soil and promotes vigorous
growth. Disbud by j)inching out all
buds as soon as large enough to get hold
of. Take off just the bud and continue
to do this until the plants are thoroughly
established, which is shown by vigorous
young shoots and large foliage. When the
I)ud8 on these first strong shoots begin to
show color cut them off, taking about one-
half the stem with them. This will give
strong growth, which may bo allowed to
produce flowers. Spread three or four
inches of rotted manure on the beds,
the becinning of spring and work in
well.

As to insects and fungi : The rose
slug can be poisoned, with a weak solu-
tion of Paris green or powdered helle-
bore. For aphides we use one tablspoon-
fnl of nitrate of soda to twelve quarts
of water, watering the plants with this
solution every ten days until the aphides
disappear. For mildew use sulphur but,
better still, select those varieties of roses
which are less liable to mildew. For
blackspot keep foliage sprayed with am-
nionia.;al coj)per carbonut? solution, from
start to finish. )?. H. P.

ASPARAGUS.

I have about 1,500 fine young As-
paragus plumosus plants which I think
of planting on a bench for cutting dur-
ing the winter. I have a solid bed 5x75
three feet from the glass. With good
rich soil, will this do? I have another
bench 6x75 in a house ten feet high.
Would this be better? Does asparagus
pay best cut in sprays or strings? How
far apart should they be planted?

F. I.

A solid bed is much the best for grow-
ing Asparagus plumosus, especially if it
is to l)e grown to strings, and if this be
the purpose a house with ten feet of
headroom above the bed is none too high.
The low bench could be used for as-
paragus that is to be cut as sprays, many
growers planting the asparagus" on side
benches containing about six inches of
soil when it is intended to be cut in
that way. This method apj)lies to both
A. plumosus and Sprengeri,

Some time is required to establish a
bed of asparagus so that long strings
will be produced, and a deep bed of rich
soil is needed for the purpose, good loam,
with about one-fifth of well rotted stable
manure, forming a suitable compost, and
the bed having a depth of about two
feet, including a layer of broken bricks
or cinders that should be placed in the
bottom for drainage.

The plants should be spaced fifteen
to eighteen inches apart in the bed, and
during the summer the glass should have

a light shading. The best temperature
for asparagus during the winter is
65° at night. As the season is progress-
ing rapidly, the sooner the asparagus
is planted the better. W. H. Taplin.

GREENHOUSES AND HELP.

[.\ |>iii>er by J. W. Dnnford. rend bofore the
St. I>.iil« Florists' Club, July 14, 1904.]

Having been assigned to lead a discus-
sion on greenhouse building at this meet-
ing, with the privilege oif choosing my
own subject if I wish, it now develops
that I am expected to write an essay.

Treating the topic of greenhouse build-
ing in a general way, I will say that the
higli price of labor and material, I think,
has put a temporary check on the croc-
tion of liouses in some sections. Perhaps
it is just as well, for there is certainly
a limit to the consumption of all luxuries,
including flowers. The tendency in build-
ing is ever to improve on existing types,
and this is as it should be, for tiiere is
room for much improvement and the sit-
uation merits more thought than it gen-
erally gets. Take the ventilating ma-
chinery and sash alone, while a thousand
times better than the types aeen twenty-
five years ago, yet who can say that
there is at present anything like a per-
fect system?

Men who build, construction men and
greenhouse men alike, cony too much. A
has built a new range, and like all other
I'ew houses, it is capable of growing
good stuff, and, A being a ^ood grower,
takes advantage of his opportunities. B
«ees the range, likes the style and falls in
love with the kind of stock that can l)e
grown in it, goes home and builds in
.just the .same way, onlv to regret it in a
few years, perhaps.

Houses for cut flowers built connecte<l
lengthwise, that is, with no open space
between, seem to be returning to favor.
Tor pood reasons, too, as the tempera-
ture is more ea«y to regulate in them.
They are also more economical to heat
and build. The tendency seems to be to
keep the gutters high. This is also
good for many reasons, the chief being
the saving of valuable space, besides giv-
ing a better circulation of air. Just
■«vhy houses of this type are better built
narrow, we could never see. except that
this brings the ridge lower, but the extra
time m taking care of the air, besides
extra cost in building, more than offsets
this.

In regard to iron versus wooden gut-
ters, while the former of coarse are the
better of the two in point of durability,
in building a range where cheapness is
any consideration I would not use iron.
With us we find necessity for an extra
galvanized drip gutter uud.?r the iron
gutter, which is never needed under a
good wooden gutter.

The most popular bench, and we think
the best is one made on the ground with
plenty of good drainage, either tile or
cinders. This is the most durable bed
and need not cost neariy as much as a
wooden one.

Now about help. The nature and qual-
ification of our helpers is largely gov-
erned by the class of work they are
wanted for. The small man, who is
grower and retailer alike, must needs
have men of experience about him. This
is also true of wholesaler and retailer,
pure and simple. The large grower must
have a few good experienced men, but
'can depend on inexperienced help for
much of the routine work.

To be successful in handling men a
man must be diplomati>'. Give in all
you consistently can, but make it known
that there is a limit and never go be-
yond the limitations. When a man thinks
he is worth more to you than you do,
don't coax him to stay, l)ut rather en-
courage him to find a ])lace with more
money in it.

Never use or permit bad language.
When a man is inclined that way, talk
to him sensibly and let him know that
you don't like it. If he jicrsists after he
has been told to wash )iis mouth out a
few times, let him go.

Treat all men with kindness and con-
sideration. Never ask a man to do what
you would not be willing to do yourself.
Encourage your help to think for them-
selves, and if they can improve on your
methods, let them. In the case of ex-
perienced help, if you know your way is
best, stick to it and see that it is done
that way. Never mind what your man
used to do at Mr. So and So's with great
success. Pay the best wages to the best
men. One good man is better than three
poor ones.

NEW YORK.

Tlie Market.

The market is still quiescent. The
weather is wilting. Chicago is not the
only city where the ' * breath of the si-
moon ' ' is felt. Here, with the tempering
ocean breezes, Monday gave us nearly
100 degrees of heat and about 1,000 de-
grees of humidity, an infliction which
your inland cities cannot appreciate. The
wholesale men close early these days,
and the retailers ought to.

Stock is not quite so plentiful, and
consequently the market began to ' ' sit
up and take notice" on Saturday. But
it had the usual relapse Monday and
there are no signs of immediate recovery.
Asters have asserted themselves once
more and are of fine quality. Sweet
j>eas are less abundant and prices slightly
advanced from the valueless quotations
of the month. Plenty of lilies, still, of
every kind. Carnations and roses suf-
fiiient for any possible demand. Society
is at Newport and shipments to that
center from New York are abundant.

Various Notes.

another week definite information as
to the number can be given. There is
no doubt the Baltimore & Ohio will have
a jolly company to test its courtesy

who died about four years ago. There
are fifteen houses in all, making a total
of 85,000 feet of glass.

Boses and carnations are the prin-
<;ipal crops. Beauties are grown in
small quantity, but they have not been
found to pay as well as the smaller
roses, and most of the space will be
given to Liberty, Chatenay, Bride,
Bridesmaid, and Golden Gate for the
next season.

It takes 60,000 carnation plants to
fltock the benches. Not a large list of
varieties is grown, the policy being to
have only about two varieties in each
color, using the best money makers.
There will be two houses of Lawson
this year. White Cloud and Flora Hill
are the principal whites, but the latter
did not do so well last year as it has
heretofore. America has been found the
best paying red.

In the spring about 75,000 bulbs are
forced. One of the accompanying il-
lustrations shows a bench of callas.
When the cutting bench was emptied
this spring it was filled up with lettuce,
the crop bringing 40 cents a case and
proving about the most profitable bench
in the house, considering the time it was
occupied.

The growing end of the business is
conducted by J. P. Sinner, the elder
brother. John Sinner has charge of the
selling department in the Flower Grow-
ers' Market and is working a very nice
business.

CHICAGO.

The Market

Trade is no more active this week
than in the past fortnight, but sup-
plies are so reduced in all lines of sta-
ple goods that better averages are re-
sulting. On the whole, business is prob-
ably about the same as usual in the
middle of July. There are still too manv
poor roses, but not enough of the bet-
ter grades to meet the shipping de-
mand. The teas are very small and
some growers have a great deal of mil-
dew, which renders the stock practicallv
imsalable. The summer cuts of Beauty
are coming on and some fair qualities

are shown. There are large quantities
of short-stemmed Liberty.

The carnation crop has been given
its quietus by the few days of hot
weather. The receipts are only a frac-
tion of those of the early part of the
month, and with many of the growers
the cut is hardly worth shipping to
market, but what good carnations are
received are selling for pretty fair
money, $1 to $2 being asked for the bet-
ter grade of goods.

The principal over-supply at present
is in sweet peas, but asters are begin-
ning to come in heavily and it will not
be long before their disposal will pre-
sent another problem to the wholesalers.
The peonies are gone except one crop,
part of which still remains in storage.
Auratum lilies are becoming more plen-
tiful, but are selling for funeral work.
Garden flowers in general are in light
supply.

Various Notes.

There was a fair crowd at the Albert
Fuchs auction last week and most of
the stock was disposea of except such
parts as Mr. Fuchs reserved for his re-
tail trade. Among the buyers from out
of town were: J. C. Eennison, Sioux
City; A. L. Glaser, Dubuque; W. E.
Kemble, Oskaloosa; W. A. Hartman,
South Haven, Mich.; A. McFadden, Cin-
cinnati; P. L. Larson, Fort Dodge; L.
A. Whitmore, Buchtel, Ohio. The prin-
cipal local buyers were the George Witt-
bold Company, H. K. and L. C. Hughes,
Jacob Bussler, John C. Ure, J. F. Kid-
well & Brother and J. S. Wilson, of
Vaughan's Seed Store, although a num-
ber of local store men were present and
bought more or less. In general the
prices received were fair, the kentias
and pandanuses being in demand. The
greenhouses have all been disposed of
for removal from the ground. Edward
Amerpohl, of Janesville, Wis., bought
two houses. Nees Bros., who are start-
ing a new place at Glen Ellyn, took two
houses. Two more were sold to A. L.
Whitmore, Buchtel, Ohio; three to B.
Blameuser, at Niles Center, 111., and
one to F. Walker & Son, of Junction
City, Kan., who are starting a branch
place at Wakefield. Mr. Fuchs expects
to start this week for Europe. He has

retained the retail store and two houses,
which he will leave in charge of F.
Lautenschlager.

Julius Schnapp is in charge of T. D.
Mosconosotes' new store on North State
street, having succeeded George Wein-
hoeber.

J. B. Deamud is at Springfield as a
guest of Captain A. I. Simmons, the
Sixty-third street retailer, who is a
member of the Seventh regiment.

J. P. Bisch is on his vacation this
week. Beplanting operations will be-
gin at the Evanston establishment next
week.

Phil Shoup, of J. A. Budlong'a, ia
doing jury duty this week.

Wietor Bros, will drop Perle from
their list of roses for next year.

Dr. Weil, a close friend of Alderman
Peter Beinberg, was last week appointed
a member of the Board of Education.

Kennicott Bros. Company is still re-
ceiving some good White Cloud and
Lawson carnations.

A. Lange and family will leave the
latter part of this week to spend a
month in Colorado.

S. Garland, Jr., is sending Percy
Jones some very good Enchantress
carnations.

Will Kyle, of Kennicott 's. is away
on his vacation. He expects to visit
St. Louis.

George J. Ball, who has the Harms
Park Floral Company place, is grow-
ing two acres of Benthey's Perfection
aster, which is giving indications of a
very fine large crop next month. There
is no sign of disease in the field.

Ed Harmes, of Niles Center, died last
Friday after a long illness with cancer.
He was the son of Henry Harmes and 37
years of age. A widow and three chil-
dren survive. The Harmes family is
well known in the trade, the father and
several sons having been connected
with several branches of the industry.
The deceased was at one time in the
wholesale business with Louis Gresenz,
the firm being Gresenz & Harmes.

Liberties, carnations and peonies. How
did they manage that? Among other
flowers, asters are more plentinil and
higher in price. Carnations are in de-
mand, especially Hill and ('rocker. Sweet
peas are held a little more firmly. Greens
are very slow sellers.

Sanuiel S. Pennock ap.vaks iu glowing
terms of the stock of field grown car-
nation.s that he is ofl'eriiig. They come
from i^ distance and iro better, even,
than last year, when two experts sai<l
thev were the best they had ever seen.

The Conard & Jones Co. appears to
have a good thing in the Philadelphia
Bambler.

Visitors say tliat Joseph H^acock has
some of the finest palms in the market.

J. LilWon Pennock is happily recover-
ing from a serious attack of tonsilitis,
which threatened diphtheria.

Jacob Be<'ker is tenting down the
ends of two houses in .\Iarket street and
will then build a show ];ouse parallel to
the street.

William J. Baker wns ])l?a.'?ed with the
business done last week.

Geo. Waterfield is growing a house of
Beauties as a trial and has begun to cut
from the new plants.

The Flower Market has been getting a
fine lot of carnations, especially white,
for which there is a good demaiid.

Charles Griffin, a nephew of H. W.
Weiland, of Newtown, with whom he
lived, was drnwrod last Wednesday. Witli

some other boys ho wa^ swimming. He
dived and struck his head on a stone
and was unable to reach shore.

Mrs. S. I. Smith, of Secane, whose
asters last year were the b68t coming to
ihis city, has this year been unfortunate
in losing most of her plants through
stem-rot. Her carnations look very
promising in the field.

Bowling.

The contest for places on the team to
represent the Florists' Club of this city
at the great bowling tournament to be
held during the S. A F. convention at
St. Louis next month, which was com-
menced on June 1, was completed
Wednesday, July 13. There were seven
evenings of play, three games being
rolled each evening, and different alleys
each time. The scoring was by points,
as last year, the six highest scores in
each game receiving one point. Ten
men entered and eight were present the
last night. The following is a summary
of the contest:

The Market.

There has been practically no mar-
ket during the past week. Flowers were
abundant and demand light. Roses
and carnations were each hard to move;
few of the latter brought over 50 cents
per 100. One first-class grower stated
that he was offered $1 per 300 for his
best blooms and donated a large num-
ber to charity rather than sell at such
prices. Many have been cleaned out
at lower rates than these.

Sweet peas have been the one flower
which seemed to be in quite good de-
mand. Prices have varied from 10
cents to 40 cents per 100, according to
the call. As a rule, 2^ cents is as high
as good stock will reach. The pretty
orange variety. Miss Wilmott, seems to
be a first-class seller. No other flowers
seem to be in request and the market
is excessively dull.

Exhibition.

At Horticultural Hall on July 16,
sweet peas were the i)rincipal feature
and were largely shown. In the class
for thirty-five distinct varieties there
were five competitors, prizes going to
W. J. Clemson, E. A. Clark, William
Riggs, gardener, and W. Whitman, M.
Sullivan, gardener. For twelve varie-
ties, E. A. Clark, W, J. Clemson and
Mrs. E. M. Gill won in the order named.
W. N. Craig received honorable men-
tion for the new varieties. King Edward
VIL, Dorothy Eckford and White
Wonder. The finest varieties shown to
suit the florists' trade were: Sadie
Burpee, White Wonder and Dorothy
Eckford, white; Salopian and King Ed-
ward VII., scarlet; Lady Grisel Hamil-
ton, lavender; Hon. Mrs. E. Kenyon,
primrose; Lovely, light pink; Prima
Donna, deep pink; Miss Wilmott,
orange; Prince of Wales and Lord Rose-
borrv, rose; Blanche Ferry, pink and
white.

William Rigps showed a fine lot of
pent^temons. which aro becoming!' in-
creasingly jiopular. .Tames Garthley,

gardener to H. H. Rogers, received
honorable mention for the double tuoer-
ous begonia, Gold of Ophir, also for a
collection of the new Begonia erecta
cristata. L. H. Atkins had a beautiful
table of Shirley poppies and there were
general displays by E. P. Shaw, Mrs.
H M. Gill and Mrs. J. B. Lawrence.
The class for forty varieties and species
of native plants, as usual, drew a strong
entry, prizes going to Mrs. Arthur
Clark, the Misses Doran, Mrs. A. S.
Colbourn and Miss S. K. Buitta. The
Boston Mycological Club had its first
display of fungi. There was a good
display of seasonable fruits and vege-
tables.

Various Notes.

Edward Butler, whose death recently
occurred at Wellesley, was for many
vears gardener to Mrs. Durant, at Wel-
lesley College. Mr. Butler, who was
an Englishman by birth, was well up
in his profession and used to be a fre-
quent exhibitor at Horticultural Hall,,
of orchids, azaleas, acacias and other
plants. He was especially successful in
the . cultivation of Dendrobium nobile,
and used to exhibit plants of this fa-
vorite orchid carrying over 1,000
blooms. A large circle of florists and
gardeners were grieved to learn, of his
death.

A strong northeast breeze on the
evening of July 12 blew millions of
broWn tail moths from the infested dis-
tricts into the city of Boston. The ptreet
lamps were almost white with them, and
they resembled a snow storm in places.
The Public Gardens and other resorts
are now teeming with this pest, which^
in addition to destroying the foliage on
the trees, causes a very irritating and
poisonous rash. The fine hairs dropping
from the moths and touching the skin
have created an ailment known as moth
rash, for which remedies are being ad-
vertised in all our dailies. Rauical
measures are necessary to free Boston
from this pest, which is now being
quite widely distributed. Drs. Mon-
tague and Woodbur}', who have been
making a special study of the brown
tail and gypsv moth, say the much
maligned English sparrows are devour-
ing both pests by the tens of thousands.
The sparrows catch them as they fly
and, devouring the bodies, drop the
wings to the ground, where in some
places they cover the walks.

A. Sibthorpe, formerly with J. Tailby
& Son, Wellesley, who started in busi-
ness for himself in that town a year
ago, is building a considerable addi-
tion to his plant. Mr. Sibthorpe grows
a general stock, as his retail trade is
considerable.

A recent visit to Frainingham found
the various florists in that thriving
town busy planting and preparing
houses for carnations and chrysanthe-
mums. At William Nicholson's we
noted Fair Maid carnations of fine
size and color. As a summer bloomer,
this outclasses Enchantress, which
comes almost white, as does Prosper-
ity. Eldorado is still considered the
best seller here and was being planted
in benches from pots. Some fine plants
of this sort w^ere noted outdoors for
summer blootning, along with the old
Mrs. Fisher, The Oueen and other popu-
I'lr sorts. Carnations are the principal
feature here, but chrv«nnthemums are
ni'ite largelv grown. The last of these
wore being benched. A nice lot of use-

jDLy 21, 1904.

The Weekly Florists' Review^

ful general stock for retailing was also
noted.

J. T. Butterworth has a nice, compact
plant centrally located in South Fram-
ingham. Two houses were still occu-
pied with carnations. The Queen
showed up as the best summer bloomer.
Chrysanthemums were being planted
out. Orchids are now Mr. Butter-
worth's hobby and he owns the best
commercial collection of these in New
England. Cattleyas looked particularly
well. Some fine specimens of gigas,
labiata, trian«e, Percivaliaua and other
standard sorts were noted and all had
greatly improved since our previous
visit. Laelia anceps and L. autumnalis,
dendrobiums, Ccelogyne L'ristata and
Cypripedium insigne were noted in
quantity and all were very promising.
Plants are all grown in fern fibre and
sphagnum. BuIdous sto<-k is extensively
grown here, about half a million being
forced annually, but Mr. Butterworth
plans to reduce these as his orchids in-
crease.

S. J. Goddard is now comfortably
located in his new place in Framing-
ham. His newly completed houses,
which are 28x135 each, are principally
planted with carnations, including
considerable batches of Mrs. M. A. Pat-
ten, Flamingo, White Lawson, Lady
Bountiful and other novelties. All stock
looked well. Mr. Goddard has just in-
stalled a ninety hor.«e-po\ver boiler,
which should keep his houses comfort-
able.

Alexander McKay, at Mrs. A. W.
Spencer's, has gone over to the florists'
side, handling a promiscuous stock.
His divisions of chrysanthemums,
which included all the best novelties,
looked well. Orchids are also dabbled
in a little. He says he is through with
exhibiting, as it caused him too much
nervous worry. This is to be regretted,
as Boston has no better grower of
specimen chrysanthemums and blooms.

J. Tailby & Son have had numerous
visitors the past week to see their dis-
play of yellow callas. The variety,
Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt (C. albo-macu-
lata X ('. Elliottiana) is of a deep
primrose color. The leaves are beauti-
fully variegated and the plant a vigor-
ous grower for either pot culture or
massing in beds. It should be very
popular. Messrs. Tailby have some
thousands of flowering sized bulbs and
rows of seeds seemed to be j;crminat-
ing as freely as peas. Although some
tempting offers have been madr for
the stock, it will ])rooably be iil' 1 un-
til it can be marketed at a ]K)pul:u-
price.

Alfred Ackennan, instructor in the
Yale school of forestry, will begin his
work as state forester of Massachu-
setts in August. Mr. Ackerman gradu-
ated from the University of Georgia in
1898. He studied German forestry
methods some time and graduated from
Yale forestry school in 1902. He pre-
pared plans for the celebrated Austin
Corbin park of 25,000 acres in southern
New Hampshire.

Colonel Joseph H. Woodford, for
many years chairman of the commit-
tee of arrangements at Horticultural
Hall, is critically ill.

Mrs. E. M. Gill, the well known flor-
ist of Medford, reports the gypsy moth
pest as being terrible there. Hardy
roses and perennials are being eaten
up and even greenhouse stock is not ex-

t^'xpt. W. N. (RAKi.

BUFFALO.

Variotis Notes.

As was expected, business has dropped
to a low ebb since the first of the month.
Our wealthy citizens follow the fashion
of larger cities and seek the mountain
and seashores, or make a trip across the
herring pond, but they need not leave
home in search of a better cUmate, for
nothing can be finer than the breezes off
Lake Erie. No excessive heat, no mos-
quitoes, little politics and ideal weather,
a great contrast to last summer.

Buffalo lost a noble citizen last week
in the death of Kobert B. Adam, hs.-ti
of the old dry goods firm of Adam,
Meldrum & Anderson. As chairman of
the great work, the grade crossing com-
mission, he has left an enduring monu-
ment, insisting that the commission
should serve without a cent of re-
muneration, and not a breath of cor-
ruption or even favoritism has ever boen
uttered in connection with their wor!:
involving millions. But this is only
one of his many good works and to give
them all here would be out of place. Oli,
that our great cities could have such
men for mayor, or better still for alder-
men. When it is considered an honor
to represent your ward in a great city,
then our leading, iudtpsndent, good citi-
zens will be willing to serve and we
shall be approaching a bu8iness-lik%
pure, municipal government. Now too
many of our city fathers are mersly
professional politicians, and is it any
wonder that graft and boodle are so
often lieard of? We prosper and un
blessed in spite of this affliction, but our
city government will some day be dif-
ferent. It will come in time, when
nmny of us have ceased worrying about
taxes.

It may interest some of the readers
of the Review to know that Mr. Adam
was the possessor of many original
nuinuscripts of Robert Burns. Hi^
.lohnsoniana was the most valuable in
the Morld. His Burnsiana was not as
extensive as that of our friend, W^illiani
R. Smith, of Washington, which is the
third largest in the world and most com-
plete, but h'3 s|)ent thousands in auto-
graph letters and original manuscripts of
Burns' poems. Among many others in
his collection is the original manuscript
of "Tam O'Shanter" and "A Man's
a ,Man for a' That."

There was a very elaborate and beau-
tiful (lis])lay of flowers at the funeral
and the niany designs were arranged at
the altar of the church by some lady
friends far more artistically than anv
jirofessional florist could do it. W. .1.
Palmer had several large and costly de-
signs. A pall of lavender and wliit"
sweet })eas was very beautiful and an
immense wreath on a stand. Andei-son
sent a five-foot wreath which I thought
was rich. Half of it was American
Beauty roses and "the other half lilv
of the valley. Designs came from Bos-
ton and New York. Altogether it was
a beautiful sight and, altliougli there is
a tendency to overdo the flower business
at funerals, they were so tastefully ar-
ranged that it gave one the impression
that it was pi-oper and fitting for the
occasion and would have jdeased this
great, good man could h;> have seen it.

William F. Xasting was a delegate to
the St. Jjouis convention from his con-
gressional district and shouted so long
and loud when tho name of Parker was

mentioned that we don't exi)ect his
voice to be fully restored much before
he meets John Westcott at St. Louis
again. He expects to shout a littlo
louder on the night of the first Tuesday
in November, and it would not surprise
us a little bit if he has good occasion
to.

While we hear from some quarters ofi
a scarcity of rain, we have frequent
showers, rather too frequent for keeping
the weeds down. It has been a most
favorable time for carnations and they
never looked better. Planting has be-
gun. At Corfu a big house was planted
July 8 and they never looked over their
shoulder. This is not cultural notes, so
I can dip a minute into carnations.
What a change in time of planting! The
end of September was considered right
twenty-five years ago. Then gradually
it worked up to the end of August.
Then early in August, and now the best,
most uniform and splendid lot of carna-
tions I saw anywhere last year was at
Trenton Falls, N. Y., and they were
lifted from the field early in July. Jt
was about December 15 that I saw these
houses and you know that if your plants
are loaded Avith splendid flowers at
that date, you are decidedly in it.

There are many points of aavantage
with those who plant in May or June
from 3-inch or 3% -inch pots, as so ably
explained by that modest phenomena,
Peter Fisher, and now practiced by
many, yet it seems that if you can get
them out in the field early in May and
give them two months outside they do
letter in the field during those two
months than they will in the hothouses,
and by early July the roots have spread
hut little. Not a fibre is lost, and they
go right on growing. Plants that
were put on the benches about June 10
from 3M;-inch pots don't look near as
healthy and vigorous as those lifted
from the field a week ago.

We don 't hear much St. Louis talk
locally, but 1 think we shall have a
liovvlirg team. It is pleasant to hear
that Mr. Tesson will have charge of the
shooting. That assures us a good time.
The writer has fired off twenty-five shells
today at crow blackbirds that are de-
vouring our cherries. We bagged twen-
ty-seven birds in twenty-five shots, most-
Iv sitting. I mean the birds were sit-
ting, not f.

I wish a shotgun with dust shot would
destroy tho aster beetle. This pest has
again made its appearance in <piantity.
The crown of the plant wilts and dies.
Tho little beetle is very visible, but
knows enough to <lescend to the ground
directly you handle the plant, and the
slight damage <lone to the stem will
hardly account for the sudden wilting
and drying up of the leaves. We have
tried Paris green and hellebore, but not
with much success. Please give us a
remedv that will exterminate this lively
little 'wretch. "W. S.

LODA, Ii,L.— The I. C. R. R. Co. will

The peony Richardson's Rubra Su-
perba has made an appreciable advance
in popular esteem this season.

The pecan industry is growing rapidly
and many southern nurserymen find the
call for pecan trees a large part of their
business.

The Association of American Ceme-
tery Superintendents meets at Chicago
August 24 to 26. There will be a large
attendance.

There will be large plantings of na-
tive rhododendrons, azaleas and kalmias
this fall, according to inquiries received
by southern shippers.

The hickory is a tree which is no
longer sought, the results having been
unsatisfactory in almost all localities
where it has been planted.

Plan the thinning of trees and shrubs
and, before the foliage falls, mark those
to be removed. The cutting out can be
done at any convenient time.

It is reported that the call for Amer-
ican elm for park work last spring pretty
well cleaned up stocks except in one or
two large nurseries making a specialty
of this tree.

BLACX APHIS.

Could you offer a suggestion as to the
best means of killing, as I term it, black
aphis? They appear f.n clematis and
hardy chrysanthemums and have infest-
ed the plum trees. I have sprayed these
plants with water and coverad them with
tobacco dust, but it seems to do no good.
My Jackmanni vine was infested with
black aphis. I sprayed with tobacco
dust and washed it off the next day. I
gave them two applications and the re-
sult was that I have kilbd about three-
fourths of the large," old vine. My
Rudbeckia Golden Glow has been infested
with a red aphis. A local bu^jologist tells
me that this is the same aphis that has
attacked the chrysanthenuun and the
clematis, but the color is due to the
plants upon which thev feed.

[ AV. W. D.

We would suggest the use of kerosene
emulsion for clearing out black, red or
green aphis. It can be made as follows:
Dissolve ono-half pound of any hard
soap in one gallon of boiling water; add
two gallons of kerosene and churn well
with a pump for a fev minutes. Use
a wooden or earthen vessel. Dilute fif-
teen times before applying. This emul-
sion is also very useful for scale insects,
for which it may be diluted five times.
Whale oil soap will also be found ef-
fectual for the pests named. Directions
for use are on every package. Sulpho-
tobacco soap we can also recommend. An
8-ounce cake is sufficient for four gallons
of water. The kerosene emulsion will
keep some time but is better fresh. We
use both this and the whale oil soap on
trees fifty to eighty feet high for aphides
and plant lice with best results.

THE READERS' CORNER.

A Spite Fence.

I would like to get advice from some
fiorist who has had experience about a
board spite fence. I have been in the
florist business for about twenty-four
years in Winton Place. Two years ago
the Cincinnati Chemical Company built
a large factory on the west side of my
place. Last winter they bought 200
feet more ground on the east side. They
want to build a switch track from the
Baltimore & Ohio railway to their fac-
tory, and to do this they have to get
the right of way through my place.
They offered but a trifle and I refused
to let them go through. Now, to spite
me, they put up a tight board fence
eight feet high, a distance of 235 feet
along my place. My greenhouses are
built low, each 160 feet long, and are
one foot from the line of the fence. It
shades the first greenhouse so badly in
the winter season that I cannot grow
anything in it. I told my lawyer of
this and wanted to get an injunction
against the Cincinnati Chemical Com-
pany to prevent them from building the
fence, but he said he could not do any-
thing for me, because he says people
can build fences as high as they want
and there is no law that can stop them.
This fence was put up the latter part
of May.

Will some brother florist tell me what
to do to get this fence down, so as not
to shade my glass? Would like to hear
from one who has had experience in this
line.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

The week just past was very quiet in
the cut flower line. At the wholesale
houses very little shipping trade is go-
ing on, and about the only thing that
keeps the trade alive now is funeral
work, and even that seems to be slow.
There are very few social affairs given
at the World's Fair grounds just now,
and so we are in summer stillness, which
gives us plenty of time to look after
convention affairs.

In the market there are a lot of roses
of fair quality just now — in fact, too
many for the demand. Brides, Maids
and Kaiserins are plentiful and fairly
good stock can be bought for $3 and $4
per 100. liberty, Meteor and short
Beauties run about the same in price.
Very few good long Beauties are seen.
In carnations, the market is somewhat
short of fancy stock and not any too
many of the common grades. The aver-
age price is about $1.50 per 100, though
a few fancy bring $2. The common
grades do not bring over 50 cents to $1
per 100.

Sweet peas were a little scarce the
past week, owing to the heavy rains,
which spoiled thousands of them. A few
dry days will again see them plentiful.
The outdoor flowers, such as gladioli,
asters, tuberoses and cornflowers, are
plentiful. Some excellent lily of the val-
ley is going begging for want of demand.
Smilax is in demand, and so are other
greens, with fancy ferns a little scarce.

Qttb Meeting.

The July meeting of the Florists ' Club
was large and harmonious. The after-
noon was warm, but thirty-five members
were on hand. After the regular routine
work, the chairmen of the different S.
A. F. committees reported that all ar-
rangements were completed for receiving
and entertaining the S. A. F. members
during the convention next month. The
applications for membership were numer-
ous. The following were elected: C.
Winters, W. E. Robinson, John Nyflot,
Charlie Schonelle, Arthur Y. Ellison,
Nic Himmer, John Himmer, J. S. Secke-
ter, H. M. Schisler, George S. Walters,
Geo. M. Ostertag and Harry Young,
making fourteen in all. This makes the
membership of the club ninety-one. Nine
new applications were promised by next

meeting, making 100 meml)er8 by the
opening of the S. A. F. convention.

The nomination of officers resulted as
follows: For president. Otto G. Koenig
and Chas. A. Juengel; for vice-presi-
dent, Carl Beyer, W. J. Pilcher and
Henry Ostertag; for secretary Emil
Schray; for treasurer. F. H. Meinhardt
and J. W. Dunford; three trustees, Theo.
Miller, George Windier, Fred C. Weber,
E. W. Guy, Theo. Klockenkemper and
Frank Weber.

James W. Dunford read an essay on
"Greenhouse Building and Help," which
was well received and quite a discussion
. followed. At the next meeting of the
club, August 11, the election of officers
will take place. The date will be just
four days before the opening of the S.
A. F. convention, when the largest at-
tendance of the year is expected.

Various Notes.

William Ward Tailby and bride, of
Wellesley, Mass., spent a week of their
honeymoon in St. Louis. Mr. Tailby
found time to call on the trade.

A. F. J. Baur, of Indianar-olis, Ind.,
whose notes are so much looked after in
the Review, in company with Mrs.
Baur, visited the World's Fair last
week. They also made the rounds of
the trade.

After the club meeting on last Thurs-

day a special bowling match was ar-
ranged between Theo. Miller, Carl
Beyer, C. A. Kuehn and Frank Ellis.
Kuehn and Ellis won all four games.
Theo. Klockenkemper, who accompanied
them, showed some ability as a bowler.
Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Ellis returned
Wednesday night from a week's fish-
ing trip at Whitehall, 111., and report a
big catch of fish every day.

European flower seed croos iii general
promise well.

D. E. WiTTPKNN, of McHutchison &
Co., New York, is in Europe.

Reports continue to come to hand of
damage to the sweet pea orop in Cali-
fornia.

The harvesting of or.ion sets is in
progress on early fields in the Chicago
district.

Reports from the Pacific coast are to
the eflfect that pole beans aro likely to
make a good crop.

The onion maggot is doing serious in-
jury to the crop throughout the marsh
sections of Ohio and Indiana.

The Leonard Seed Company has fin-
ished harvesting its Pearl onion sets.
It is considered an early liarvest for
such a late spring.

Visited Chicago: J. T. Huntington
and T. V. Page, of Huntington & Page,
Indianapolis; Frank Rue, with J. C.
Murray, Peoria, 111.

Word -has- been receivo<l from tlie
Harry N. Hammond Seod Company that
Mr. Hammond is no longer connected
with the business.

The dry, hot weather of the past week
will shorten the onion stt crop at Chi-
cago many thousand bushels. It will add
to what is termed quality, however.

Messrs. Huntington & Page, of In-
dianapolis, who are somewhat interested
m onion sets, inspected the ChicJigo set
fields, in company with S. F. Leonard,
July 19.

Extreme dry weather at some of Ihe
bean growing points is causing uneasi-
ness. The present is a very critical time,
ad the crop is just aIon;j where weather
conditions will either make or break it.

The World's Fair notices have led to
the belief that the great floral clock is
one of the works of the landscape de-
partment, but, instead, it is the exhibit
of the St. Louis Seed Co. It is probably
the most widely discussed exhibit on the
grounds.

The blight, or aphis, or whatever it is,
IS causing the pickle vines to dry up
just as they did last year. TJiis" will
cause the same shortage of pickles and
also of the seed crop .is has prevailed
the past two years unless a remedy of
some sort is discovered speedily.

The general ehairman of the member-
ship committee of the American Breed-
ers ' Association, Eugene D. Funk, Bloom-
mgton, 111., is progressing with his cam-
paign for a large membership for tliat
new organization. A life membership
has been received from Philip de Vil-
morin. Paris. France. Aiinnal member-
ship is $1 a year, life membership $20.

CORN TO PLANT.

Referring to recent notes on this suh-
ject, published in these columns, P. G.

Holden, professor of agronomy at the
Iowa Agricultural College and Experi-
ment Station, writes:

' * Our experiments would all indicate
that the butts and tips should be shelled
off. First, because it is impossible to
secure a good stand with any planter
when they are shelled in with the rest
of the corn. Second, even if the stand
should be secured, they give a lower
yield of corn. Last year we shelled
off about an inch from the tips and
about two-thirds of an inch from the
butts and then planted these by hand,
putting three kernels in each hill of both
the butts, middles and tips. The yields
were fifty-nine bushels for the butts,
sixty-six and two-thirds bushels for the
middles and fifty-five bushels from the tip
kernels. It so happens that one or two of
the varieties of corn that are best fille«l
out at the butts and tips, have had the
butts and tips removed for some forty or
fifty years. I will say further, that there
seems to be no good evidence at hand to
show that corn would be improved by
leaving the butts and tips on, in fact
there is every reason to believe that it
would tend to reduce the vitality of the
corn somewhat."

C. G. Hopkins, professor of agronomy
of the University of Illinois and Experi-
ment Station, writes:

' ' Investigations relating to the selec-
tion of seed corn sustain the opinion
which I think is commonly held by Illin-
ois seed corn breeders, namely, that the
only good recuson for discarding tip and
butt kernels is that they will plant more
uniformly and thus insure a more even
stand, on account of the kernels from the
main part of the ear being all about the
same size while the tip and butt kernels
are commonly irregularly shaped and of
a different size."

MILLEPEDS.

Kndosod find a little box containing a
few worms which have been giving us
quite a little trouble for nearly a year
in our greenhouse, especially in the
smilix. At present there are thousands
of very small ones In the smilax bed and
quite a number of the plants are dying.
We do not find that they trouble the
j)lants alwve the surfa-e of the bed.
They do not appear to work during the
day but are very much in evidence after
dark, climbing over the benches and
other parts of the house, (^an you tell
us what to apply to rid the house of
them? N. C. G.

The worms in question aro variously
known as millepeds, myriapods, or thou-
sand-legs, the scientific name of which is
julus, there being several varieties of this
spec'ies. This pest is quite a common one
in greenhouses and sometimes becomes
very plentiful. While they have been
credited with living upon decayed vege-
table matter only, yet I believe that they
also attack living vegetable matter, such
as the young fronds of adiantums and
other tender organisms, and it is quite

probable that the millepeds have trou-
bled the smilax also.

The best remedy that I have dis-
covered, and that was discovered acci-
dentally, is thorough fumigating witl>
aphis punk, this preparation being used
in the proportion of six to eight rollis
of the punk to a house 24x100 feet,,
and the house being filmigated on two-
successive evenings, with the result that
very few live millepeds could be foundl
afterward. W. H, Taplin..

SPIDER ON ARAUCARIAS.

I am sending a few branches cut from;
my Norfolk Island pines and would lik&
to know what the trouble is. I have-
heretofore been successful with these
plants, but now they are all more or less;
affected. The brsnches seem to dry up,,
turn brown and die. M. R.

An examination of the araucaria
branchlets tliat accompanied this query
seems to show that the plant has been'
kept ill a warm house and in rather too*
dry an atmosphere, under which treat-
ment it has been attacked by red spider,,
the marks of this insect being abundant
on the leaves of the specimens.

Araucaria excelsa enjoys moderately
cool treatment, with abundant moisture,,
a night temperature during the winter of
50 degrees being better for this plant
than warm house culture.

The plant may be cleaned of red spider
and also of thrips, somo of which may
be present, by dipping two or three times
at intervals of a week in moderately
strong tobacco water, to which has been
added a thumbpot of flowers of sulphur
to a bucket of the tobacco extract. A
similar potful of rose leaf extract of
tobacco to a bucket of water would pro-
vide a solution quite strong enough for
this purpose, this being a more reliable-
way of preparing tobacco water than the
old method of steening or boiling the
stems. After dipping, the plant should
be laid down on its side in order to avoid
llie mixture running down the stem to
the roots, the tobacco and sulphur prepar-
ation being liable to do injurv to the-
soil. W. H. Tapi.in.

ing a greenhouse 20x100 to cost $3,000.

THE ASTER BEETLE.

One of the best known aster pests is
the slender, lively black beetle (Epicauta
Pennsylvanica) which attacks the blos-
soms. If left unchecked they soon de-
stroy every flower when at all prevalent.
Thorough hand picking has been our best
remedy and if done every day is not a
great task even in a large bed. — Geo. E.
Stone, in bulletin of Hatch Experiment
Station,

Elmika, N. Y.— The United States Cut
Flower Co. had its M'^teors all planted,
last week and now the Beauties are in,
with good progress being made on the
teas. J. J. Curran, the superintendent,
is visiting Buffalo, Toronto and Bramp-
ton this week.

;Mixneapoijs. Minn. — There is much
complaint that thieves are despoiling the
flower beds in all sections of the city^
and there has been murh more bedding

anxious that an example be made of an

The great difficulty usually experi-

especially during sunless days.

INDOC»l GRAPERIES.

Making the Borders.

In a former article I gave my ideas
regarding what I considered the best
size and style of house. The next thing
to consider is the making of the bor-
<lers. In this the first essential ])oint
is to provide proper drainage. If the
situation is high and dry and the sub-
soil of a sandy nature the natural drain-
age might be sufficient, but if there is
i.ny danger of the water not liaving
free passage, drains will have to be
constructed. The bottom of tlie border
should bo made firm an>l so constructed
that it will be highest in the middle and
sloping gradually toward the outer edges.
About nine inches of broken brick or
similar material should be placed on the
bottom, this in turn Ixiiig blinded with
old lime rubbish if it can be procured.
T'nder ordinary conditions two drains,
one along each of the outer edges of the
Ijorder, will be sufficient, but it may be
necessary with certain nubsoils to have
drains running from the center pf the
border at intervals of every eight or
ten feet and leading into the side drains.
These latter fhould have sufficient fall
to insure the carrying away of all sur-
plus water. In low, damp situations it
may even be necessary to cement the
bottom of the border lo insure against
stagnation and to prevent the roots get-
ting down into poor soil, whor? the moist-
ure in such a situation wouM naturally
draw them. Where cementing is done
the bottom should be constru!-tfd as
recommended above and tlie sanio
amount of broken brick, etc., used.
Th< re is always a po'sibiliH* of having
too much of a good thing and it is quite
possible to have too much drainage, as
we want the borders to retain the nec-
essary amount of moisture so I would
not recommend cimenting unlesi< the
situation calls for it.

In preparing the compost for filling up
the border much will d"pend on the qual-
ity and nature of the roil pro<urable.
Both its mechanical and chemical com-
positi(m may have to be regulate<l. Should

the soil be of a stiff, binding nature a
liberal amount of charcoal and lime rub-
bish will have to be used to make it
freer and less retentive. If, on the other
hand, the sod contains ))lenty of fibre,
and the nature of the soil be free and
open, nothing but manure need be ad-
ded ; the lighter the soil of course the
more manure will be necessary.

An ideal soil for grape vines is a
good fibrous loam, neither too light nor
too heavy.

Regarding manures, the main object
should be to use only such as will make
the compost as lasting as possible. Soft
maaures, such as from the barn yard,
shouhl be avoided, as they only act as a
souring agent and the \irtue they con-
tain is spent before the vines are large
enough to utilize it. The ingredients
they contain can be supplied later in the
form of liquid. Use half-inch bone and
horn shavings in proportions of about
one ton of bone and 100 pounds wf shav-
ings to fifty team loads of soil. There
is no necessity for making up the com-
post any length of time before it is to
be used, but it shoukl be .veil chopped
up and the ingreelients mixed l>eforo be-
ing filled into the border. The sod
should l)e taken up just the same as if
it were to be used for roses or carnations
anil the more fibre it contains the better
it will be. A layer of sod intact should
be place<l green side down over the drain-
age to keep the latter clear until the
whole has settled and it is a gooel plan
to have the soil three or four inches
higher than the intended level, so as to
allow for settling. I don 't approve of
])acking the soil in anv way but simply
fill it in iis above and let it settle of its
own weight. If it should settle a little
below the level it is easy to add an inch
or two as neede<l.

A theory that is advanced by some
growers is to make the border in sec-
tions in pla«»e of making it all at once.
They advocate planting the vines in a
section three or four feet wide and
adding other see'tions of a similar width
as the growth of the roots requires it.
claiming that it saves a loss of manurial
elements which would occur by the com-
post or that part of it in the center of
the border lying idle so long before the
roots are strong rnoueh to reach it.
Though the theory may be all right to a
certain extent, I liave^ never seen the
advantaj^os claimeil for it proven by
practical resultr. and prefer to make the
border all at once rather than have it
done by patch work. If good, strong
vines are plant* d they will pretty well

occupy the whole border the second sea-
son after planting and, when the border
is made all at once, there is no restric-
tion whatever to the roots.

W. S. Croydon.

LETTUCE SOIL.

I am emptying my carnation benches
and would like to know if the soil in
which the carnations grew last season
would be good for lettuce if piled out-
doors until the latter part of October,
with a fourth of maoure added?

L. H. W.

Under ordinary conditions the soil
from your carnation benches ought to be
all right if mixed as you suggest ami
exposetl to the weather until the latter
part of October. We have often used
old carnation soil for lettuce under sim-
ilar conditions with good results, only in
adding the manure make sure that it is
well rotted, as by adding fresh manure
you might be addiug properties, such as
ammonia, which the soil already contains,
in excess of what are needed. If liquid
or other manures have been applied to
your carnation benches, which in all
likelihood has been the case, the soil
is almost sure to be overcharged with
certain ingredients which only a chemical
analysis v.ould reveal. Most of us apply
manures by rule of thumb and can only
judge by the health of our crop whether
we are overdosing or not. But a soil
that would produce good carnations might
not be altogether suitabla for lettuce,
their softer nature making them rather
susceptible to damage through an exces-s
of certain chemical properties in the soil.

If your carnations have been heavily
fed it' would be better to leave your soil
over winter, so that it would not only get
washed out but be subjected to the
sweetening influence of frost. But if
heavy feeding has not been given, then
there is little danger of excess of chem-
ical properties in the soil and I would
consider it quite safe to u.se as you sug-
gest. The soil should not be piled too
deep and would be benefited by beine
turned over several times while lying out
of doors. W. S. Croydon.

The Market

We arc having another spell of cool,
damp weather, 8omethinf» rather unusual
at this season of the year. The effect
has been good on both roses and carna-
tions and they have better color and
substance than we usually have during
this month. Such varieties as Lawson,
that are always full of thrip at this
time, have been brought well up to color
and length of stem. Flora Hill is in
full crop in most of the greenhouses and
there is no scarcity of white in conse-
quence. The best, fan.'y varieties are
selling at $3 per hundred and the stand-
ard sorts bring about $2, Avhile Portia,
Scott and Joost can be had at a less
price. Many of the rose growers are
commencing to dry up their houses and
very small cutting is the result. Bride,
Maid, Testout, Liberty and Carnot are
selling at from $3 to $i per hundred and
Beauties, although the majority of them
are poor, are selling at from 75 cents to
$2 per dozen. Sweet peas are very good
and very plentiful and still bring 50 cents
per dozen bunches. Great bunches of
goldenrod are being brought in from the
country and it makes a very good show-
ing as a decorative flower. A few asters
are in market. There has been quite an
acreage of asters planted this season and
from what I have seen, and from re-
ports by the growers, they are in good
shape, and will be as fine and as plenti-
ful as they were last season. This branch
of the business has nass'?d almost entirely
into the hands of the Chinese gardeners
and they sell them at prices that exclude
almost anyone else from going into aster
or chrysanthemum growing.

Various Notes.

Miss Wollenberg is spending a week's
vacation in Los Gatos.

Podesta & Baldocchi are having quite
an improvement made to their store in
the shape of new and up-to-date show
windows.

Thos. Cox arrived from his visit to the
eastern states this week. He had a very
pleasant trip.

J. T. Shephard, of Oakland, has leased
several acres of ground on Prospect
avenue with the intention of running it
as a nursery as an adjunct to his florist's
store.

W. M. Frodden, supsrintendent of
parks of the town of Alimeda, has been
authorized by the town trustees to im-
port half a million of the Australian
lady bird to destroy the cottony cushion
scale. G.

HARDY ANNUALS.

For a grower who has plenty of water
in the summer, there is considerable
money to be made in (Cultivating hardy
annuals. At this season of the year,
when greenhouse roses and carnations,
especially the former, are not at their
best and when there is always a demand
for cheap flowers, it is no trouble to
have a succession of showy blooms that
will go a long way toward paying ex-
penses in the dull season. One of the
most satisfactory plants to grow is the
Coreopsis lanceolata. This is a perennial,
although the best results are obtained
from plants that are grown from seed

each year. We plant Ihe seed in Feb-
ruary and transplant the young plants in
the open ground in April. The soil
should be well worked up and plentifully
manured and given plenty of water. By
keeping it well spaded quantities of big,
long-stemmed flowers will be produced
until late in the fall. The seed pods
should be picked oif every few weeks to
get the full benefit of tho plants. Core-
opsis bicolor is an annual and is used ex-
tensively in decorating, but it is not of
sucli merit as the other variety men-
tioned.

Gaillardias are grown best from cut-
tings, as the flowers from plants grown
from seed seem to deteriorate easily.
Select a good double-flowered plant and
the cuttings are easily rooted in Feb-
ruary. Long stems and good flowers
are, as in the case of the coreopsis, only
to be had on the youngest stock. I do
not find that the gaillardia ^s particularly
fond of rich or heavy soil and it can be
grown in almost any location.

Canterbury bells I have found, when
well grown, both the purple and white,
were quickly bought up by the retailers.
They are of easy growth from seed. This
is a flower that has been neglected by
tho growers, but it is very decorative
and a good keeper and the long spikes
are an agreeable change from gladioli,
a flower that is being grown here in
vast quantities.

There is some demand for double
d.ahlias, especially the white varieties.
They begin to bloom early in May and
until the asters get plentiful several
months later, they pay very well. There
is not such a demand for stocks the last
few years as there was bofore asters and
chrysanthemums becanio so popular. For
many years they wer* used almost en-
tirely as a foundation in funeral designs,
but now only around Decoration day or
in the winter season are stocks in any
demand. If the plants are raised from
seed in time to get them planted by the
first of October in the open ground, and
the season is not too wet afterwards, it is
possible to get continuous pickings of
this valuable annual throughout Decem-
ber and .January, when ihcy come in very
handy after the chrysanthemum season is
over.

Candytuft is another flower that at
one time was very popular with retailers,
but is now grown for Decoration day
trade almost exclusively. Sweet sultan,
when well grown, is a desirable annual
and a good seller. Marigolds are hardly
ever seen in the shop windows. Likewise
mignonette and daisies have lost their
charm and are no longer in demand.
Sweet peas, a.sters, chrysanthemums and
violets are entirely in the hand's of spe-
cialists and the ordinarv grower does not
handle them to anv extent, but this has

only been the rule for tho past ten years
or thereabouts, as it was the custom be-
fore that time for every grower to have
a patch of each of them.

Violets always were, and always will
be, one of the best paying crops that it
is possible to grow. But although the
novice always looks on this little flower
as an easy proposition io raise, it is one
of the most difficult lo handle at a
profit. Eternal vigilance is necessary
during the whole year to have the plants
in such shape that they will be remunera-
tive. Tlie right location and soil-mois-
turo in tlie summer and not too much
water in the winter, natural protection
from extremes during tho coldest weather
and immunity from red spider and rust
in the dry season, are among the many
items to consider when ;<bout to go into
violet culture.

Pansy flowers are not used in the
stores here, the plant being oonfined en-
tirely to garden decoration. Bachellor's
buttons are grown by the Italian garden-
ers and calla lilies grow wild in every-
one's back yard in California. They are
in some demand during Ea.ster and Dec-
oration week, but the public will not
buy them at other times. Both peonies
and iris are good paying crops to han-
dle. Neither requires any special treat-
ment and the flowers are usually in
good demand at very fair prices. G.

Carroll, Ia. — On July 3 a cyclone
struck the greenhouses of N. A. Neilsen
and carried away about twenty-five feet
of the east end of one house. The other

ThcWeckly Florists' Review*

JVLT 21, 1904.

CINCINNATI.

The Macicet.

This ia the week of the Elks' great
reunion. The city is gay with flags and
white and purple bunting and the streets
are thronged with strangers, v A fine
program of entertainments has been
planned and there will be great things
doing. All of this has helped out the
florists' business a good deal and the de-
m,and for all kinds of stock, but es-
pecially the best quality, is flrst class.

Carnations have advanced jn price sev-
eral points and are very scarce at that.
They will be virtually nut of the mar-
ket in a few days. Roses also are scarce,
but some of very fair quality are to be
had. Some very good Beauties are com-
ing in and they are quickly disposed of.
Brides and Maids are poor, but they .sell
anyway. Liberties and Kaiserin continue
good and much in demand.

Sweet peas are not quite so much in
evidence, but there are still more of them
than can be disposed of. Some fine glad-
ioli are in the market and they sell well.
A few lilies are also good property. Some
first class asters are coming in and with
the extra demand this week they will be
mighty handy.

Vadofis Notes*

There were several openings of amuse-
ment places and cafes the past week
and many flowers were iiaed. Julius Baer
made a very effective outdoor decoration
for one new cafe. He used very Iteavy
festooning of oak leaves and it was very
pretty.

Theo. Bock, of Hamilton, is an Elk
and he will be in this city with the
home lodge. iJaeh memt)er in the parade
"Wednesday will wear a })ink carnation.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

July 21, 1904,

MARION, IND.

Gunnar Teilmanu is building two new
houses, for carnations and chrvsanthe-
mums, one 16x90, the other 16x75, using
material from the Foley Mfg. Co., Chi-
cago. His chrysanthemums are in fine
shape, a bench and a half of the new
pink, Wm. Duckham, being especially
good, Mr. Teilmann says that for habit
of growth Duckham is the finest mum
he has ever seen and if the blooms come
up to expectations this fall there is go-
ing to be an enormous sale for it, larger
even than for Eaton and Appleton. Mr.
Teilmann has a bench of the early Mon-
rovia that looks good.

J. W. Bernard, after a little trouble,
has renewed the lease on his place for
five years and has things in good shape
again,

F. W, Herleman is preparing to put
up an even-span house 100 feet long.
Cyrus Wilson will also add a small house
to his place.

Ed Bissell has left the Marion Floral
Co. and is now in Rushville. A Mr. Coun-
cilman, formerly of Knightstown, is his
successor.

The spring business was good with ev-
eryone here and we now hope for a
prosperous fall and winter. G.

ASHTABULA, OHIO.

F. C. Bail, who has been manager of
the Ashtabula Greenhouse Co. since it
built its plant at Bunker Hill some
years ago, has sold his interest and sev-
ered his connection with the concern. It
is a stock company in which F, N. Stone
and J. H. Goddard hold tho principal
interest. W. Rogers is now the man-
ager.

Mr. Bail has bought three and one-
half acres of land and is building four
houses 22x175 feet each. He has bought
two sixty horse-power boilers and ex-
pects to be ready for business on his
own account in the early fall. Let-
tuce will be his principal crop.

Several of the lettuce growers in this
vicinity are busy building additions to
their glass, all having had a profitable
season.

Tong & Weeks say that cut flower and
plant business has been good, but that
the usual summer quiet is now at hand.

Auburn. N. Y.— H. M. Hills is adding
two houses to his range, each 10x152.
One is for smilax and asparagus, the
other for carnations. One house, 20x100,
is planted to Brides and Maids and an-
other is being put in shape for carna-
tions. The past year was a prosperous
one for Mr, Hills,

CLEARING OUT SALE at Auction Prices

The day was too short to dispose of 50.000 Palms. You may have the
unsold lots at the prices we got at the auction.

80c each. 185 Iiataniaa, 7-in.. extra fine stuff, very heavy, at 50c each. 160 Mtaniaa,
8-ineh. very large stuff, very heavy, at $t.20 each.

These are all worth double the money and are not the leavings of the auction. They
are all good. All were sold in lots of 25 as they stood.

50O Kentia Belmoreana, 6-inch, at 70c each. 460 Kentia Belmoreana, 6-inch, extra
heavy, ready for 7-inch pots, at $1.00 each. 900 Kentia Forateriana, very heavy,
clean perfect plants, $1.50 each, regular price. $2 09 each. 100 Aspidistra, green. 4-in.

HT7SBT UP if you want these flne plants at these prices ; it is absolutely the last chance
as I have not any more to offer after this, and as all the greenhouses are sold.

The bulk of our stock went to the men yon will have to bny from later.

HEATING.

I have a house 18x75 and ten feet high
and one 12x7.5 and eight feet high. These
are heated by an ciglit horsepower up-
right boiler, I have it lying flat, fire
underneath, smoke returning through
flues, in which position it has done gooil
service. On the west side of the house
I have three strings of li/j-inch to IV^-
inch run in expansion tank, mth a 1-inch
return to boiler. In the south side t)iere
are two 2-ineh pipes reduced to IMj-
inch also in expansion ta.nk, l-ineh pipe
to boiler. Could I improve the system if
I should give it a large return pipe to
the boiler, therefore causing a quicker
flow? The small house has only three
lines of ly^ to 1%,-inch reduced in tank,
with 1-inch pipe to feed boiler. If 1
put in 114 -inch pipe from tank to boiler
would it not give a better flovv? F. I.

I regret to eay I do not understand
the system which has been employed in
piping these houses. I judge, however,
from the description that an open circuit
has boen employed with an expansion
tank or pipe at the far end of the house.
If I am correct, the system can be im-
proved by modifying it so as to employ
the 2-inch pipes as feeders for several
11,4 -inch returns placed in coils under
the benches or on the side walls as may
be desired. A single expansion tank
placed ten or twelve feet abovo the high-
est point in the heating system and con-
nected by a 1-inch pipe to the main re-
turn close to the boiler should care for
the expansion in the entire plant and at
the same time increase the pressure on
the system so as to cause the water to
attain a higher heat and to circulate
more quickly. The flow pipes may be
placed under the ridge of the house and
the water caused to return through sev-
eral IVi-inch pipes, or the flow pipe it-
self may be carried under the bench and
used to supply several i-eturns, as in the
other case. In your latitude, the house
18x7.5 feet, to maintain a temperature
of 50° at night in severe weather, should
be provided with a 2-inch flow, return-
ing to the boiler through ten runs of
1^4 -inch pipe, or what would be better
still, two 2-inch risers "^ach supplying
four lines of l^i-inch pipe. The smaller
house, 12x75 feet should have a 2-inch
feed pipe returning its water through
seven 1 14-inch returns tn maintain the
same temperature during cold weather.

TABLE DECORATIONS.

A London florist not long ago made a
fine effect by decorating a dinner table
entirely with La France roses, the din-
ner service being pink Sevres, matching
the flowers perfectly. Old china- lends
itself to this purpose readily, as was
proved at the dinner party given by
Baron and Baroness Alphone de Eoths-
child recently in their fine mansion, Eue
Saint Florentin. The flowers were the
orchids for which the baron 's congerva-
tories at Ferrieres are celebrated, and
the golden and mauve tints of the blooms
were thrown into harmonious relief by
the pieces of green Sevres china placed
on the table.

EscANABA, Mich. — C. Peterson & Sons

Jlly 21. 1004.

PIPING.

How many 1-inch pipes are required
to beat a house 10x36, four and one-
half feet to the eaves, seven feet to the
ridge? The house runs north and south
and is in no way protected against winds.
The temperature desired is 55° when it
is 15° below zero outside.

H. & S.

If the house in question is to be heat-
ed with steam at five pounds pressure it
will require twelve 1-inch pipes to sup-
ply the desired temperature during cold
weather. If hot water is to be used it
is not advisable to attempt to heat the
house with 1-inch pipe. If, however, tne
1-inch pipe cannot be exchanged for
larger size, say 1^-inch or 2-inch and
hot water is to be employed, then nine-
teen pipes running the length of the
house should be provided. With 2-inch
pipe, however, the same work would be
done with eleven pipes. In other words,
It takes over 700 feet of 1-inch pipe to
equal 390 feet of 2-inch pipe for hot
water heating purposes. L. C. C.

PAINTING PIPES.

Please give us the name of a paint
that can be used on the heaung pipes
without injury to plants and still be a
preventive of rust. G. W. D.

On general principles it is not desira-
ble to paint or otherwise cover radiation
pipes. Where pipes pass through com-
partments in which heat is not desired,
painting and otherwise protecting them
is a direct means of preventing radia-
tion and economizing in fuel. Pipes
passing under the ridge and tnose which
branch from a riser to feed radiators
beneath benches may often be painted to
advantage. The paint best suited for
this purpose is the black asphaltum paint
used by engineers for painting boiler
fronts and other heated metal parts. This
paint has no injurious effect upon plants
if the painting is done while the pipes
are cool and it has time to dry before
the heat is turned on. L. C. C.

The No. 2 Boiler bought of you last Fall has given me entire satis-

below sero and a bowling wind at 60 miles an hour, have kept the
water at a boiling point and that with only two-thirds of the grate
covered with live coal. This is my boiler when I need more.

DEPTH OF SOIL ON BENCHES.

Eef erring to Mr, Baur's article July
14, on the best depth for soil in carna-
tion growing, my opinion is that three
to four inches of firm fioil is ample up
to April 1, when a little more should
be added, if not mulched previously, to
prevent too rapid drying out. With
three inches of soil plants will dry out
more evenly than with four or five inches,
and they can be fed with less danger,
especially through the winter months.
It is in the spring that the extra inch
comes in handy. Therefore, I conclude
that if blooms are wanted as late as
July and August, use at least four to
five inches of soil. If you throw out
and replant early, use less.

I think water costs more than soil
to the average grower, so that there are
several things to take into consideration
besides cost of soil. We use fencing for
side boards and level off the bench evenly
with soil. This settles to about four
inches in a few months, allowing room
for top dressing or manure watering if
desired. Continual watering washes the
soil through the benches, so that in
spring about three and one-half inches
of soil is left to which, of cooxrse, is
added the loose top dressing.

As the benches by this time are full
of roots, about April 1 an extra one-half
or three-quarters of an inch of additional
fresh soil, one-half manure, will help
the plants greatly. Did you ever notice
how a top dressing of about a half
inch of old cow manure and a half inch
of soil helps o^t roses during the hot
months? Why shouldn't it he equally
as good for carnations? It isn't neces-
sary, however, if you have proper ar-
rangements for manure watering, as it
requires a lot of labor. Still, what are
the results unless you put in time?

The whole thing really simmers down
to this, that if watered and fed properly
and in time less soil can be used than
if the plants are left half the time to
''are for themselvee. One thing is cer-
tain, you cannot plant 3%-inch plants
in three inches of loose soil, nor is it
advisable to plant such stock in four
inches of loose soil; iieither can you
plant field-grown plants iii soil of that
depth unless the soil shakes off the roots
pretty well, so that many will have to
be guided by outside conditions. If
blood and bone, sheep manure, and other
good fertilizers are ased, three inches
of solid soil is ample. It is surprising
how a plant will eat if fed properly.

I will add that if less than three
inches of solid soil is on the benches
during May, June, July and August, it
will necessitate a lot of extra water-
ing. The air itself, with the strong
action of the sun, will abstract too much
moisture and not leave enough fer the
plants. Then even the liquid manure
^11 not be as beneficial as the extra
inch of soil, so that, in a general way,
I believe each grower has to decide his
owTi caae and plant accordingly.
, It is well not to have too much soil
in winter, as the quicker the bench dries

out the sweeter the soil will remain. You
can go to extremes either way. The
watering part alono would decide my
case. August Poehlmann.

I have never experimented with less
than foxir inches of soil for growing car-
nations, but I coincide with Mir. Baur's
opinion that four inches is much better
than six inches. Our soil is a trifle
heavy and with six inches of it in the
benches it will get sour before we are
aware of it, especially in the months of
November, December and January.

Soil and Planting:.

Nature of soil plays its part in car-
nation culture, though I am inclined to
think some of us are apt to attach too
much importance to this point. Of course
we would not choose an extremely sandy
soil, or a very heavy clay one, but would
prefer a happy medium.

In visiting different growers throughout
the country one finds soils of widely dif-
ferent nature, but invariably the careful
grower turns out good stock, showing
that it is not so much the nature of the
soil as it is the nature of the man who
studies and prepares it. He must make
himself familiar with its whole make-up
and decide what is needed to add to its
fertility, at the same time improving its
mechanical condition if need be.

A soil may bei ever so fertile and con-
tain every element needed in exactly the
right proportions, a balanced ration, as it
were, and still have a tendency to get
into bad mechanical condition through
handling and watering. If your soil bears
strongly on clay I trust when you rolled
up the pile, a good quantity, of horse
manure was added and some that was
neither fire fanged nor rotted beyond rec-
ognition. Soil of a sandy nature needs
cow manure rather than that of the horse,
but in either case it is advisable to em-
ploy both to some extent.

Remember that air-slaked lime has the
property of greatly improving the me-
chanical condition of soil, be it clayey or
sandy, besides neutralizing any acidity
that may occur. Soils having the ten-
dency above referred to should be rem-
edied before planting or trouble of the
chronic kind will result.

There are those who advocate using the
same soil the second year, allowing it to
dry out in the benches and adding fresh
fertilizers previous to replanting. While
fair success has attended my several trials
made along this line, I cannot endorse the
method; in fact, my opinion has been
that owing to our having! an extra depth
(ten inches) of soil in the benches tried,
this circumstance was the main reason
of the degree of success attained. These
benches were later reduced to a depth of
five inches.

The advice given to a grower by Mr.
Baur and mysdf a year ago against using
soil frozen in a house during the late
coal strike, proved sound. The grower
in question removed the greater part, re-
filling with new soil, leaving a small sec-
tion of old soil for trial. The result

showed such a marked difference between
plants in fresh soil and) those planted in
the trial section that no doubt remained
as to the false economy and great risk
in using the same soil a second year.

Good planters, like artists and wat^rers,
as Brother Scott says, are born and not
made, but the main features are to plant
firmly and no deeper than they stood in
the field, rather less.

I have always held that the carnation
is not unlike the strawberry in that its
roots should be carefully arranged when
planted and not dropped into a hole in a
tangled mass. To do this properly and
handily, dig a hole of good size, forming
a mound in the center, on which arrange
the roots to radiate in every direction.
When covered in with soil and firmly
pressed down, every root and its tribu-
taries should have good contact with the
soil and will cover sufficient area to draw
a good food supply.

Plant in straight rows each way to
facilitate putting on supports and culti-
vation between the rows. Do not plant
too many before watering and in no case
soak the soil to the point of saturation.
A pint of water applied directly around
the stem is sufficient for the first water-
ing. Frequent spraying .luring the next
few days after planting will assist in the
establishment of the plants, at the same
time wetting the soil more or less.

When digging plants in the field do not
fail to leave a few to replace those which
may die or do not give 7>roniise of doing
well. These can be lifted and potted
later for use as required.

CARNATION NOTES.-WEST.

Preparations for Planting.

When you house your plants you
should use a good deal of foresight in
deciding where you plant the different
varieties so that later on you will not
be wishing that you had planted 8om.e
of the varieties on another bed or in
another house. Of course, we cannot
tell what conditions may arise a year or
six months ahead, but every grower
knows that he will want a certain amount
of space the next spring for his young
stock and he also knows which bed or
bench he would prefer for it, and by
planting on that space a variety which
he can dispense with after January 15
he can save himself much worry. Some
growers plant without any such fore-
thought, depending on some bench or
bed to prove unprofitable for space for
the young stock. That works all right
whenever you happen to have such a
bed, but suppose all your beds are in
fine shape just when you want the room
for the young stock? The plants you ex-
pected to discard about that time may
be planted on a bed which is not very
well suited for the young plants and so
you will either have to place them in an
inferior position or else throw out a bed
of plants which are in good shape and
profitable. As I said before, it will
pay you well to bear this in mind.

If your houses are modem you will
have no trouble about head room, but
many of the older houses have beds too
close to the glass to grow many of the
varieties. Plant such varieties as Lawson
and Glacier where there is the least head-
room and such varieties as Loma and
Harlowarden where there are at least
four feet between the bed and the glass.
Then, again, don't plant a short-growing
variety on the same bed with a very
tall variety ui^ess you use individual

wire supports, but plant all varieties that
need about the sainet amount of supjKjrts
on a bed together.

While all - the above suggestions are
worthy of consideration they are, of
course, second in importance and must
be subject to tjie temperatures required
by the different varieties. This last is
by far the most important in deciding
where to plant each variety.

If you plant all your carnations early
it does not make a great deal of dif-
ference which variety you plant first,
but if you plant some early and some
late you should pick out the heavy and
slower growers to plant first. Such va-
rieties as grow wiry and rapidly will
recover quicker and will bear late plant-
ing better than Lawson and such va-
rieties.

Another thing which should have much
to do with the time you plant, is the
condition of the growth. If you have
had much rain and the plants are grow-
ing rapidly I would advise you to wait
until they have passed through a short
dry spell, which wall ripen the growth
somewhat and lees wilting will re«ult.
A few years ago we made a practice of
waiting for a rain and digging our car-
nations as soon as po.ssiblo afterward,
because it is usually cooler for a few
days. In some soils this is necessary'
in order to get the roots up without tear-
ing them too much. Our .«'oil is sandy
enough to crumble, whether it is moist or
dry, and we have no trouble in securing
all of the roots. We find that after
a week or so of drouth the plants are
in shape so they will wilt very little
and the roots, as soon as they are set in
the moist soil, freshen up and take hold
at once.

Be sure and see that the soil is in a
proper state of moisture when you plant.
The day before you intend to plant ex-
amine the soil carefully and if it is too
dry give it enough water so that when
you plant it will bo about as moist as it
shoidd be used for potting; moist
enough so it will not shrivel the roots
and yet not wet enough to be packy.
If it is too wet when you plant you
will find that it will quickly sour ami
turn green on the surface, often caus-
ing stem-rot and other diseases. The
j>lant8 will not thrive as they should
after the soil has been handled too wet.

Fumigating.

An inquiry has conu> to me regarding
the best way to burn the To-l)ak-ine
fumigating |>owder and as there may be
others who may benefit by our experi-
ence I will answer in this way: Take
a piece of heavy tin, the heavier the
better, al»ut 10x18 inches. Bend about
two inches at each end so it will pojnt
upward and outward. Then take a piece
of wire fly-screen the same size as the
tin and lay it over the tin and bend
the ends down and under -o it will be
hooked securely. On this screen lay a
piece of paper sprinkled with kerosene,
on top of which spread the fumigating
powder, one-half to one ]X)und, and light
around the edges. If the tin is not stiff
enough to hold the wire screen up in the
middle you v&n punch two or three holes
in the tin at each end and run pieces
of heavy wire through .ind under the
screen, or you can lay something non-
combustible between the tin and the
screen. The screen beinjr raised allowrs a
good draft, which is not possible when
the powder is spread on a solid piece of
tin. Burned in this way you will find

this powder very effective in destroying
green and black aphis and much less
liarmful to the plants than burning to-
bacco stems during this hot weather.

A. F. J. Baur.

PLANTS AND SOIL.

Should I buy field-grown carnation
plants or those from 3^-inch pots for
shipment to southern Texas? What I
want is the safest stock to plant here
about August 10, to bloom about Decem-
ber 10. Would you advise leaf-mold
fresh from the woods in preference to a
stiff loam from the garden that has been
cultivated several years and which had a
liberal dressing of manure last spring?

A. W. K.

There is no reason why carnation
plants from the field, if packed careful-
ly, should not carry to your city in good
condition. Any of the up-to-date carna-
tion growers will know how to pack them
for long distance shipping and there are

DRYING OFF STOCK.

Roses, such as Bride and Bridesmaid,
which are to be carried over for an-
other season 's work, should now receive
the treatment necessary to fit them for
this purpose. As the necessarj' elements
to sustain another year's growth will be
partly exhausted and the soil, by reason
of last season 'b feeding, will have become
overcharged with salts, which are detri-
mental to the health of the plants, a
removal of as much of this soil as can be
done with safety to the roots is advisa-
ble. In order to accomplish this with
as little injury to the plants as possible
the stock should be brought into a state
of partial rest.

Tills can be done by gradually with-
holding water from the roots, giving am-
ple ventilation both night and day and
using the syringe to keep spider in check
while the ripening is going on, as any
injury to the foliage .luring this process
is just as detrimental to the health of
the plants as when they are in full
vigor. Care must be taken not to dry
tliem so much that the leaves will shrivel
or the young wood wilt during very
bright weather. In two or three? weeks
with this kind of treatment they will
be ripe enough to be operated on.

Carefully remove all the small blind
wood and cut back the strong shoots to
five or six eyes. Then- remove as much
of the surface soil as can possibly be
done without injuring the roots. The

a number of them who can lay them down
in your city within four days after
packing. Order as close to home as you
can. Plants from 3% -inch pots would,
of course, stand the journey somewhat
better and if you can be sure that you
will get first-class, well-branched plants
it would no doubt pay you to get them.
They will suffer less and will take hold
better than the others, but I doubt
whether you will get as good plants as
you would from the field.

Don 't use leaf -mold for growing carna-
tions. A good heavy friable warn' is
what you want. You should have begun
preparing your soil last fall, or at least
in the spring, but if your garden soil is
in good mechanical coAdition it may raise
fair carnations. I would advise you to
mix either some old cow manure with it,
about one part manure to four of soil, or
a bushel of sheep manure to a cubic yard
of soil. If there has been no crop grow-
ing on it this summer the dressing of
manure you gave it last spring may be
sufficient. A. F. J. Bauk.

surface should then be aprinkl«Ml with air-
slaked lime and the bench filled up again
with a compost of about equal parts of
we'll rotted cow manure and good fibrous
sod.

The bench should then get a thorough
soaking, after which for the first week
a cool, close atmosphere ohould be main-
tained when possible. During the night
the ventilators can be nearly fully open,
thus retarding the breaking of the eyes
until root action has again been estab-
lished.

By tying the stronger growths in a
horizontal position the buds which are
at the ba.sc of the stem and in a dormant
state will be encouraged to oreak and
form nice shoots. Frequent and light
syringing, while helping to keep the
house cool, will also, by keeping the
air moist, hasten the breaking of eyes.
As the leaves develop and mn young
gro^vths begin to reach, ventilation should
be increased and watering be resumed.

Judging from the quality of leaves en-

success in your efforts as a grower. The
pest which is creating havoc with the
foliage is the larvae of one of the saw-

in a little over a week, its depredations
will soon cease. As it works mostly
at night it is rather difficult to find.

THE BETTER PLAN.

Will you please tell me the proper
time and conditions requirad to give
Bride and Bridesmaid roses a rest for
a second season? These rcscs were struck
by hail in March and given a cutting
l)ack and mulched. They are now giving
H good crop of flowers, with clear foli-
age and long stems. How shall I treat
them for a good crop for ihis winter?

F. W. R.

Seeing that these roses got a check in
March and were cut back, they do not
now require much of a rest; in fact,
the best treatment, as they are doing
so well, would be to keep them going
and feed judiciously. Kibes.

TOBACCO LEAVES.

We have a chance to get a couple of
loads of very fine Wisconsin tobacco
leaves which were cut last year and, be-
'»g in a warehouse all winter in a damp
l>lace, became somewhat mouldy and can-
not be used. We would like to know
whether it would be of any value to save
this for fertilizer, or if they could be
"sed to any other advantage for green-
house purposea C. E. S.

These tobacco leaves are quite suitable
for ordinary fumigating purposes and
If steeped in water for twenty-four hours
the decoction is one of the best insecti-

cides. As a fertilizer they would not
be any better than plenty of ordinary
farm yard manures and would be more
uncertain in theix effects. They can be
put to good use in the form of ashes.
Vegetable ashes contain most of the ele-
ments necessary to plant life but in a
very concentrated form and should ba
used with caution. Ribes.

NEW ROSES.

The gold medal of the National Rose
Society of England was awarded in two
instances at the show at London, July 6,
to new varieties that have not been pre-
viously exhibited. One of these wag
ii.imed De.-in Hole, and was shown by
Alex Dickson & Sons. It is presumably
a hybrid tea, and somewhat resembles in
color and form the variety Mrs. Mawley,
but the color is rather richer and the
form a little better.

The other variety awarded a gold
medal was named Mrs. O. G. Orpen, and
was shown by Mr. O. G. Orpen. It is a
cimbing damask rose, with single flowers
of a rich shade of pink color, four to
five inches in diameter. It is a strong
grower, and has large, vigorous-looking
foliage. The variety would be especially
suitable for cultivation against a pillar.

Cards of commendation were awarded
to the two varieties following: Irish
Harmony, shown by Messrs. A. Dickson
&- Sons, a single rose of pale cream col-
or, some six inches or more in diameter,
the orange-colored anthers having a
good effect. It is said to form a mag-
nificent bush. The foliage is bright and
very smooth. Lady Betty, also exhibited
by Dickson & Sons, is of the hybrid tea
class; the petals are reddish-rose on the

exterior, and bronze or buff-colored in-
side.

New roses since 1901, issued by nur-
serymen of the British Isles, were rep-
resented by some exquisite specimens,
showing the great advance made in such
a short period. Mildred Grant was
again in the foremost position. The box
containing the prize group, shown by B.
Cant & Sons, Colchester, contained Ma-
mie, Mildred Grant, Robert Scott, Frau
Karl Druschki, Helene Guillot, Jean
Batuatois, Apotheker G. Hofer, Alice
Lindsell, Florence Pemberton, Lady

VIOLETS.

Which is considered the more profitable
violet to grow, Marie Ix)u;se or Prin-
cess of Wales? How many flowers per
plant for the season will good stock of
each of the above average? W. B. S.

In answering this question I would not
like to name either the one or the other
as the more profitable for this reason,
that circumstances alter cases and every
grower must find out for himself. This
can be done pretty fairly with a year's
trial, providing one is systematic and
keeps an accurate record of blooms cut
each day the whole season through, keep-
ing each kind separately. Then you can
tell which pays best per week, per month
and for thei whole season, providing also
that you keep a record of the price re-
ceived for each in the same way. Then,
too, there is the taste of the market
to be considered. Where you are, per-
haps, the kind that gives you the greater
quantity of flowers is not the popular
one with your trade. This being the

case you have to grow wbat is wanted.
With us the Marie Louise is the more
profitable but, as I say, it may not be
in your locality. Therefore, if I did not
know for which there is the greater de-
mand and which does the better in your
soil I would plant equally of both kinds,
keeping an accurate account and the end
of the season will tell you definitely and
without guesswork the kind that you want
to grow the following season.

In answer to the second question, here
again there is no telling, as so much
depends on the care given them, exposure
of house and the thousand and one de-
tails that go to make a good crop. Fifty
flowers per plant is considered a good
average for any kind, but this can be
made more or less, as I have said, by
the care taken and the size of the plants.

JOSEPH TAILBY.

Hybrid Cafla Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt.

Among the New England florists, few
names are better known or more respect-
ed than that of Joseph Tailby, of Welles-
ley. Mr. Tailby is an Englishman by
birth, having first seen the light near
Market Harbor, Leicestershire. His first
start was made at the Hamberstone
Nurseries near Leicester, owned by
George Walker. From there he went as
foreman to Captain Boulther, Spring-
field House, Kuowle, Warwickshire, later
going as head gardener to Geo. W. Dewi-
er, also of Knowle. His next position
was with the still celebrated house of
James Carter & Co., London, with whom
he stayed until he essayed to try his luck
in the Jvew World.

Lauding in New York in 1865, Mr.
Tailby drifted to the establishment of
the late C. J. Powers, of South Framing-
ham, Mass. Dahlias at this time, of the
show and fancy varieties, were becoming
popular in America. Dry roots import«i
at 3 and 6 cents each from England were
propagated for all they were worth, and
small plants were readily disposed of at
$1) per dozen. While at South Framing-
ham, Mr. Tailby received some tempting
offers to go to positions in New York
and farther south, but liked Massachu-
setts too well to leave it.

In 1868 he started in business on his
own account at Wellesley, not far from
his present location. He started with
eighteen hotbed sashes. In those days
verbenas retailed at $1.50 per dozen and
tomatoes at $1. Potatoes, too, were on
the boom at this time. Some of Bree-
see's varieties were secured and cuttings

of the newest and best sorts rooted iu
pots sold at $18 per dozen.

The next year Mr. Tailby built three
houses, each 10x50, heated by flues, quite
an impressive plant in those days. He
was probably the first to force H. P.
roses, havinji no less than fifty varieties.
Maiechal Nici, Bon Silene, Niphetos, Sa-
frano and other old favorites were also
handled.

Mr. TaiJby was, we believe, the first
hybridizer of carnations in America. The
best variety nhich ever came from, his
hands, anl will forever be associated with
his name, wac Grace Wilder, the result
of crossing Boule de Niege and La Pur-
ite. This variety received the first cer
tificates ever issued for an American-
raised carnation, both in New York and
Boston, in 1880, also a prize of $30 from
the ;Massachusetts Horticultural Society.
Few carnatiiu^ have attained Grace Wil-
der's popularity. Other varieties raised
included Fred Johnson, scarlet; Henry
Priest and Henrietta Sargent. None of
these, however, gained the favor of his
first seer) ling,

"While always a strong carnationist, Mr.
Tailby did not neglect other lines. He
introduced Tailby 's Hybrid encumber, a
result of croEsiiag All the Year Round and
White Spine, selling his stock of seed at
$80 per pound. He introduced Little
Gem calla in America, selling $3,000
worth of that variety and securing a sil-
ver medal for it in Boston. A sport
from Gloire de Lorraine begonia, named
Glory of Welle^ley, also received a silver
medal. Good authorities still consider it
the best sport of that papular begonia
sent out. Many other plants of European
origin were popularized by Mr. Tailby.

He is still as busy as ever in the field
of hybridization, his new calla, Mrs.
Theodore Roosevelt, not yet in commerce,
being one of his best hybrids. He also has
numerous other seedlings which are bound
to become popular, particularly as bed-
ding plants. Though far from a young
man, Mr. Tailby is still hala and hearty
and a veritable encyclopedia of horti-
cultural lore. His greenhouse plant, close
to the picturesque Wellesley station, on
the Boston and Albany Railroad, is well
known to florists. For some years
one of his two sons, W. W. Tailby, has
been associated with him in his thriving
business, and being a "chip of the old
block," the* firm of Tailby & Son is
bound to be heard from, in the future,
as it has been in the past. Long may
father and son be associated together!

PRICE OF GLASS.

Leading window glass jobbers west of
the Alleghany mountains held a meet-
ing at Chicago July 26 and decided on
a 15 per cent advance on the price of
window glass. The decision probably
will affect the entire we.stern glass mar-
ket. The advance was decided upon
unanimously. It was said that glass had
been selling for less than the cost of
production. After the price agreement
had been made, the discount rate of
ninety and fifteen per cent was made the
rule for future orders.

NUMBER OF FLOWERS.

We have Geo. S. Kalb in a solid bed
without glass at present. The plants are
fifteen to eighteen inches high, three to
five shoots to a plant, and more shoots
coming around the base of the plants.
What treatment should be given them

Joseph Tailby.

to get four to six flowers to a plant?

Inquirer.

The only thing necessary to do is to
thin out the shoots on each plant to the
desired number, allowing for each shoot
to carry one flower. If the shoots around
the base are merely suckers coming
through the soil, I think the better plan
to follow is to remove all these from the
plants and allow them to carry three to
five shoots only, which is enough for any
plant if half wav decent flowers are
looked for. A multitude of flowers is
always at the expense of quality.

When the correspondent makes up his
mind just how many shoots to keep it
will be good policy to run over the plants
once a week at least to keep all
superfluous growth removed.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

The week opens with business stag-
nation, humid weather and light and in-
ferior stock generally in the cut flower
market. There seems to be little pros-
pect of encouraging improvement until
after the convention. Gladioli are now
arriving in floods and prices have re-
ceded to $1 per 100 for the best, while
the old summer figures of 50 cents will
doubtless be reached before the week is
over. Smilax is a drug and Sprengeri
does not seem to be wanted at any
price.

Roses, carnations and lilies are not
in excess of the demand, but low prices
still prevail, except for special Maids

and Beauties. Lilies arc not so ahun<i-
ant and values have improved. Asters
are here in all sizes, colors and quali-
ties, and the shipments increase daily.
No street outlet for the surplus is yet
in view. The sidewalk merchants will
dispense fruit and hot corn at Coney un-
til the dog days are over.

Convention Trip.

The St. Louis convention is a topic
of general interest. Regrets at the de-
cision of Philadelphia to "go it alone"
are heard, the delightful companionship
of John Westcott and his cohorts and
his liberal dispensations on the way to
Asheville not yet having passed from
our memory. A goodly crowd will
come from New York, traveling on the
Baltimore & Ohio. We count on half
a hundred.

Death of C H. Joosten.

It was the intention of Mr, and Mrs.
C. H. Joosten to enjoy the convention
and the Fair. The sudden death of
Mr. Joosten last Thursday is sincerely
regretted by a large circle of friends
and business associates, by whom he
was highly beloved and respected. He
had only recently returned from a
happy visit at the nurserymen's conven-
tion in Atlanta and gave no evidence of
serious illness until shortly before he
passed away, on Thursday, July 21, All
arrangements had been made with his
European houses for the usual large fall
importations.

Mr. Joosten was born in 1838, at Am-
sterdam, Holland, and came to this
country in 1856, He served during the

PHILADELPHIA.

It takes about an hour for the whole-
saler to rush through the business in the
mornings. This is followed by a day
of comparative quiet, when the books may
be scrutinized, plans made for the coming
season and growers visited. Of course,
there are occasional flurries announced
by a hasty footstep or a tinkling bell
to disturb the summery quiet.

Really good flowers are decidedly
scarce. S. S. Pennock filled an order for
100 cattleyas a few days ago. Roses are
in fair supply. Besides Beauties and
Kaiserins there are some very fair Brides

and Maids for midsummer. E. Bernheimer
is getting some nice flowers with good
foliage. Carnations are rather scarce.
Besides the varieties named lately, Edw.
Reid is getting some nice Crockers. The
outdoor blooms will be welcome.

Asters are by no means plentiful; a
shortage in the crop is expected. Gladioli
are plentiful. Valley is in demand at
times and scarce. Leo Niessen has some
pink lilies. A few Harrisii can be seen.

A New Geranium.

It is a well-known fact that the up-to-
date newspaper man has to get much of
his information from those on the inside
on the wing, so to speak. So it was in this
case, when the Review 's man caught John
Ruppert, of the H. A. Dreer Co., while
he was hurrying from the Flower Market
to catch a train for New York. While
walking down the street Mr. Ruppert
spoke of the good demand in Gotham for
small palms and ferns and then with a
joyous smile he told of the hit that will
soon be made by the new geranium, Tele-
graph. It is described as a vastly im-
proved General Grant, is of robust habit,
very free flowering, flowers large, single
and of color resembling Grant. This
new variety is introduced by Thomas De-
voy & Son, Poughkeepsie, N. Y., and will
be sent out by three firms. It is a cross
between Mrs. E. G. Hill and Wonder
and is expected to surpass the standard
varieties.

Various Notes.

Joseph Beavis & Son are cutting nice
Kaiserins from their new house, 14x150
feet, built last April.

H. Bayersdorfer and wife were passen-
gers on the Kroonland, sailing from Ant-
werp for New York last Saturday.

Walter P. Stokes spends his Sundays
at Mt. Pocono, where his family are
spending the summer.

M. Rice & Co. are working full time
to keep pace with the demand for sup-
plies from the florists.

Edward Reid is busily engaged in im-
proving his place to facilitate the
handling of an increased stock promised
for next season. Mr. Reid does not
know whether he will go to St. Louis,
but laughingly said he would probably
jump on the last car.

Charles F. Edgar is off on his vaca-
tion.

H. Whelen, of Newtown, is sending
some good Brides and Maids to the
Flower Market by Frank Lovell.

Eugene Bernheimer is spending the
sununer at Fort Washington, from which
point he is making visits to the growers
in the afternoons.

Paul Berkowitz has some new and
pretty wares tastefully displayed at his
firm's store, H. Bayersdorfer & Co.

Thomas B. Meehan has invited a party
of friends to see Thomas Meehan &
Sons' nurseries at Dresnertown the first
Saturday in August. A game of cricket
between the gardeners and florists of
Philadelphia and Montgomery counties
is on the program.

The Latest News.

The Hon. Samuel VV. Pennypacker,
governor of Pennsylvania, has been
pleased to grant the application of Leo
Niessen, W. E. McKissick and Arthur
Niessen for a charter to carry on the
wholesale florists' business as the Leo
Niessen Co. The charter, duly signed
and sealed, reached this city last Tues-
day.

A LARGE DESIGN.

Evei-y once in a wliile a florist gets an
order for a funeral piece, which, from
the amount of money to be represented,
taxes his ingenuity. The head of a de-
partment in some big concern passes
away, and each one of the employes
under him contributes 50 cents or a dol-
lar to buy a funeral piece. An order
for $100 or $200 or more is not to be
sneezed at; neither is it to be treated
lightly if it calls for the use of the
entire sum all in one piece. Tlie larger
the design the more limited in choice is
the maker. If fancy stock is vsed a fine
result can be obtained and a large value
represented, but in the ma.iority of cases
this is not satisfactory; size is what is
Avanted. A great cross, a )nas3ive column

or a huge urn meets with the approval
of the customer.

Along this line is the large new design
represented in the accompanying repro-
duction from a photograph. This was
made by Reed & Keller, New York, and
stands seven feet high. It is in the form
of a draped Grecian mortuary urn on
an Ionic pedestal, the drapery being
made of wire nettiilg so that it can be
filled with flowers. Some of the lead-
ing New York retailers who have seen
this frame have expressed the opinion
that when filled with flowers it could be
made the handsomest piece ever made
up. Eeed & Keller will show this huge
d?sign in their exhibit at St. Louis.

BUFFALO.

Excej^t for the inevitable, there is lit-
tle business, but as much as can reasona-
bly be expected. We find our wholesale
house loaded up vAnth flowers and Wm.
Kasting is not so busy with flowors as
he is distributing Croweanum.

Those who can get away for a few
weeks are taking advantage of this
slack time. Jos. H. Rebstock has been
handling the ribbons on a coaching
))arty tlirough the highways of beautiful
western New York, and a jolly auto-
mobile party from Detroit passed
through the city recently. Conspicuous
as (X'<'ui>ants of the car were President
Phil Breitmeyer, Mr. Dilgor and a few

others. The leonine face and figure of
Arnold Eingier has pervaded our quiet
city. We can imagine that tho Baron
Bonstettin was built along his lines. T,
A. Webb haa had his two weeks' vaca-
tion at his home in Corfu, He tells
me the Dale Estate, where he has charge
of a block of carnation houses, had
35,000 plants on the beds very early in
June or end of May and looking fine.
Harry Balsley has been doing his usual
midsummer stunt in our town.

We very much regret that we miseed
by a few hours C. H. Totty, of Madison,
N. J. We have such a high opinion of
Mr. Totty as an all around and bright
young florist that an hour's exchange of
views would be as instructive as it
would be enjoyable. We also missed J.
J, Curran, superintendent of the newly
started place at Elmira, N, Y., the
United States Cut Flower Company.
When asked how much glass is already
up, Mr. Curran says they ' ' had only time
to put up 100,000 feet this season. ' ' This
is only a small beginning. If the re-
mainder of the million projected feet are
to be built out of the profits of the ex-
isting glass, it may be some years before
completed, but if unlimited capital is
behind it we may soon see, in the valley
of the Chemung, a plac^e rivaling that
of Alderman Reinberg. Don 't be
frightened, little man; you will bo mak-
ing more money in proportion to your
investment than these mammoth places,
and we ought to be proud of these men
who have the pluck and enterprise to put
their capital into the business. It ele- ,
vates it, advertises it and puts it on a
broader base, and it is doubtful if the
erection of glass houses is much, if any-
thing, ahead of the ever growing de-
mand for their product.

Buffalo haa 3,000 autos, more than
any city of its size on the planet. These
speedy vehicles will at least show to
hundreds of our urban population the
beauties of our rural scenery which you
never see from a railroad car, besides the
fact that the railroad runs through the
poorest and most luipicturesque part of
the country, at least in tlie east and mid-
dle west. On each side of the train the
fields and background of woods are
made hideous by the mammoth, gaudy
signs which the poor farmer allows on
his lawn for a few dollars.

Coming in on the New York Central
the other day, I counted the following
in lees than half a mile and many of
tliem several times repeated: Heinze's
Pickles, Carter's Little Liver Pills, Cas-
carets. Children cry for Castoria, Men-
nen's Powder, Hood's Sarsaparilla, Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
Cremo Cigars, Sapolio, but I am really
ashamed to go on. There were at least
a dozen more. In fact, it was only occa-
sionally that you got, between these
boards, a glimpse of the golden grain,
the tropical growth of the com, the deep
green, heavy oats, or the refreshing
woods of maple and beech. Here's work
for the Society for Beautifying Our
Countrj'. A farmer allows his barns to

Jolt 28, 1904.

BOSTON,

The Market.

Market conditions show no material
change. Roses, if of good quality, bring
fair prices. Kaiserins are scarce and
bring $6 to $8 for the best. Beauties
soil up to $15. Brides and Bridesmaids
in some eases bring $4, but many go for
a quarter that figure. Carnations are
shortening up, but the supply seems
equal to the demand. Prices vary from
25 cents to $1 per 100, few bringing the
higher prices. Blooms are getting very
small, owing to the late hot wave. A
few outdoor blooms are appearing, in-
cluding that old familiar variety, Mrs.
Fisher.

Sweet peas have continued to sell
fairly well but stems are getting short,
owing to drouth. There has been a
scarcity of good lavender and white
varieties, prices ranging from 10 to 20
cents per 100. A good supply of out-
door asters are now appearing and sell
from 25 cents to $1 per 100. Outdoor
gladioli are becoming plentiful and are
of fine quality, and average in price $4
per 100. Candytuft, coreopsis, tube-
roses, gypsophila and nympha;as are the
.principiil other flowers noted.

Weekly Exhibition.

Owing to rainy weather the show at
Horticultural Hall on July 23 was less
extensive than usual. Two very fine
tanks of aquatics were shown by Robert
Cameron, from Harvard Botanic Gar-
dens, his nymphaeas being extra good.
Wm. Thatcher, gardener to Mrs. J. L.
Gardner, also filled a tank. Achimenes
were on the schedule, but only brought
out one entry, from Wm. Thatcher, which
received second prize. Wm. Whitman,
M. Sullivan, gardener, showed thirty
named varieties of phlox, comprising the
best sorts. Mrs. E. M. Gill contributed
a general display. J. W. Manning had
specimens of the cut-leaved sumach, Ed-
ward Kirk, Bar Harbor, Me., showed a
vase of bright scarlet carnations per-
fectly hardy. The flowers had a de-
lightful odor. They received honorable
mention. If we can secure a hardy race
of these corresponding to the English
border class they will prove great acqui-
sitions.

W. A. Manda showed plants of Cat-
tleya Harrisonae and Lselia elegans. Two
forms of the latter, Mrs. Geo. Schlegel
and No. 200, received honorable men-
tion. Miss Isabella Shattuck received
first for collection of native ferns, show-
ing forty-four varieties, Mrs. Arthur
Clark and C. C. Kingman follo%ving. The
Boston Mycological Club had a display
of fungi. As usual there were good dis-
plays of seasonable fniits and vege-
tables.

Various Notes.

Colonel J. H. Woodford, whose criti-
cal illness was recorded in the last issue
of the Review, died on July 16 at Wen-
ham, and was interred at Newton on
July 19. For many years Mr. Wood-
ford's figure was a familiar one at Hor-
ticultural Ilall. He retired from active
service at the end of last year. His
death is mourned by a large circle of
friends.

Arthur Kidder, of Kidder Bros., is en-
joying his vacation. Dun>'an Rol)iiison
is acting as salesman in liis stead in tlio
market.

H. W. Field and G. H. Sinclair, lead-
ing florists of Northampton, Ma.«*;., were
recent callers at the market, after visit-

ing the leading florist establishments in
the vicinity of Boston. A. N. Pierson,
of Cromwell, Conn., also gave us a call
last week.

There is a great scarcity of Kaiserin
roses in our market this season. We hope
some one will take note and fill the de-
ficiency next year.

Geo. E. Buxton', the carnation king of
the granite state, is remodeling his
heating plant at Nashua, N. H., &king
out three small boilers and replacing by
one powerful one.

A fine specimen of Miltonia vexillaria
carrying twenty-five spikes was noted in
Doyle 's window the past week. It was
grown by Peter Cairns, of Waltham.

Extensive repairs are being made 'to
the greenhouses at Harvard Botanic
Gardens. Mr. Cameron has a fine show
of aquatics there at present.

Thomas Roland, of Nahant, the Lor-
raine wizard, reports a first-class demand
for that popular begonia, all plants he
can raise being shipped as soon as
ready.

A generous rainfall on July 23 was
very welcome to florists here. All crops
were suffering severely from drouth.

The stores present a holiday aspect at
present. Window decorations consist
largely of gladioli, tuberoses, coreopsis,
sweet peas, asters and water lilies. Roses
and carnations are now kept in the back-
ground.

At a meeting of the board of directors
of tlie Massachusetts Horticultural So-
ciety on July 23, appropriations were
voted for library improvements. A con-
tribution of $20 was made to the Vil-
morin memorial fund. It was voted to
hold a demonstration in the park sys-
tem, during the early winter, of methods
of treatment for the San Jose scale and
brown-tail moth. Ten new members
were elected.

The committee of arrangements of the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society met
on July 23 and talked over prospective
prizes for the coming meetings of the
rose and chrysanthemum societies. A list
of special prizes for the chrysanthemum
show, as well as the society's regular
prizes, will be printed very shortly. A
new class calling for fifty blooms, one
or more varieties, to be arranged in the
society's large china vases, with prizes
of $60, $50, $40, $30 and $20, was ap-
proved of.

There will be a numljer of additions
to the society's schedule for the spring
show of 1905, when the rose society
meets in Boston. One class calling for
group of Rambler and other roses for
landscape or decorative effect, with
prizes of $50, $35 and $25, will bring
an excellent show.

The brown-tail moth continues to
spread surprisingly. Moth rash reme«
dies are now largely advertised in our
daily ])apers. Large numbers of people
are suffering from poisoning, caused by
the fine hairs touching Ihe skin.

CINONNATL

The Market.

Business has been quite good the past
week; stock moved out in fine style and
at good paying prices. Notwithstand-
ing the hot weather, the Elks' reunion
brought many a dollar into our florists'
pockets and helped to hold up prices,
as the demand was almost entirely due
to their being in this eity.

Beauties were first on the list in de-
mand and brought fine prices. Asters,
too, were in fair supply and sold out
quickly. Some extra fine gladioli were
in demand for windo^v display. Sweet
peas moved fairly well but at a price
so low as scarcely to pay for picking.
Brides and Maids are few and far be-
tween and those that do come in are
very poor. Some gooa Golden Gates and
Kaiserin are to be had in limited quan-
tities. Carnations are very poor, few
of them being fit to use. There is a
large supply of all kinds of green gooils
and a fair demand.

Various Notes.

The Elks' reunion brought forth a
good sprinkling of florists who all re-
port having had a rousing good time.
Among those in the city were: _W. C.
Cook, Kalamazoo, Mich.; W. C. Hune,
Memphis, Tenn. ; L. Ullrich, Tiffin, O. ;
P. J. Hauswirth and wife, Chicago, 111.;
J. T. Herdigen, Aurora, Ind. ; Walter
Butler, Chillicothe, O. ; Jas. Hartshorne,
Joliet, 111.; Theo. Bock, Hamilton, O. ;
Ed Helfrich, Washington Courthouse,
O. ; Chas. Dudley, Parkersburg, W. Va.;
C. P. Dieterich, Maysville, Ky. ; Chas.
Weltz, Wilmington, 6.

The annual outing of the Florists'
Society was held July 21 and a better
day could not have been liad. There was
a fine cool breeze and Ihe heat was not
nearly so oppressing as it had been for
the last week. Some 300 or more flor-
ists and their friends made the trip up
the river and all report having had a
fine time. The ball game was quite ex-
citing wliile it lasted but the great and
sensational playing of the florists who
took part is not visible in tlie score. The
teams were called the Carnations, of
whom Frank Deller was captain, and tlie
Roses, of whom Chas. McCrea was cap-
tain. The Carnations took the lead
early and won out, 18 to 6, five innings
being played. The bowling games were
well contested. There were four teams
in the field, captained by F. Deller, Wm,
Schumann, Ben George and Wm.
Rodgers. Wm. Rodgers' team was made
up of Tom Jackson, .Tas. Allan, Dick
Deller and W. Linnermin, and won the
prize by a margin of fifteen pins. Miss
Kate Pfeiffer won the ladies ' prize for
bowling.

While in this city attending the Elks'
reunion Phil Hauswirth journeyed to

CHICAGO.

The Market.

Beceipta have been at the lowest ebb
during thei past week. There are almost
no good roses and very few good car-
nations and the wholesalers are having
much difficulty in giving satisfaction to
their out-of-town customers, who seem
to forget that stock in this market shows
the same mid-summer conditions as are
nianifsst elsewhere. The result of the
scarcity and a fairly heavy shipping de-
mand is that the prices on roses are
stiff for the season. Carnations wliieh
may be classed as usable are also bring-
ing the growers very good returns. As-
ters are coming in more heavily, how-
ever, and prices on both items will soon
be on the downward way. Roses from
young stock are coming in and it will not
l>e long until supplies are again equal to
all requirements. The outdoor stock is
very little in evidence just now. There
are plenty of greens of all kinds.

Various Notes.

Leonard Kill, Mrs. Kill and Mrs. Petir
Keinberg have returned from a visit at
Denver and Colorado Springs. Mr. Kill
speaks very highly of the Park Floral
Co. 's place at Denver and of Wm.
Clark's establishment at Colorado
Springs. Mr. Clark devoted much of his
time to showing the party the sights of
the neighborhood. One of the places
visited was the home of Mrs. P. Jewett,
on North Cascade Avenue, in Colorado
Springs, where there is one of the finest
collections of H, P. roses to be found
anywhere in the west. The rose garden
contains about 1,500 plants in fifteen or

twenty varieties, in the highest state of
cultivation. Mrs. Jewett cuts about oOO
blooms a day and distributtjs them to
the hospitals, her friends and the sick,
doing great good. Mr. Kill thought
Baroness Eotlischild was the best variety
in the garden.

There was a special meeting of the
Florists' Club last Wednesday night at
wMch the new by-laws were adopted and
convention matters discussed. There will
be a special meeting of the club at Han-
del Hall tonight at which committees
will report.

It is decided that the Chicago Florists '
Club will go to the convention via the
Wabash, leaving on Monday, August 15,
at an hour not yet determine-!!. If there
are 100 in the party a special train will
be run. It is probable that the round
trip rate will be $8, which will call for
first-class equipment.

During the quiet period the wholesalers
are having their places fixed up. It is
not safe to lean on any wood work at
present, and the few buyers who appear
are" not surprise- d at the splashes of
whitewash they find a little later on their
clothing. Everything is being made spick
and span for another busy season.

Chas. Duerr is now at Colorado Springs.

Geo. Perdikas, who has had a store at
286 Wabash avenue for a year, has
opened another at 325 Wabash, using the
fixtures from the Anderson Floral Co.
He also deals in fruit and soda water
at the new address.

B. Prazil, who has worked around Chi-
cago for a number of years, is now gar-
dener for Mr. Dameron, at Clarksville,
Mb.

W. E, Lynch, of Hunt 's, and Tom Bo-
hanan, of Bohanan & Conger, with their

families, are at Sodus, Mich., for an
outing.

C. M. Dickinson has been on the sick
list this week.

Hail did- considerable damage west of
the city July 22. At Oak Park A. H.
Schneider, Geo. Baldwin, F. Blondeel and
others lost some glass.

E, E. Pieser has uecn laid up with
lumbago for a couple of days this week.
He expects to get away in a few days
for his vacation in Canada.

A. L. Randall Co. is handling cut
fronds of Adiantum Croweanum. They
are about twice as big a.s ordinary cune-
atum and bring $1.50 per 100.

D. C. Noble, of Columbia City, and Mr.
Treanor, of Treanor & Rettic, South
Bend, were recent visitors.

Elgin, III. — George Souster and his
family have been camping near Maple-
villa, near here.

Fort Dodge, Ia. — P. L. Larson is
building three new greenhouses and a new
ofl&ce and extending two old houses.
Benching carnations is in progress this
week.

CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa. — On July 20 Miss
S. Amanda Slingluff was married to Wil-
liam C. Harry, son of W. S. Harry, the
florist, and himself employed by a Phila-
delphia florist.

Dover, N. H. — C. L. Howe reports the
past season the best he ever experienced.
He is adding three new greenhouses this
summer, which, when completed, will give
him about 50,000 feet of glass. He is
also building a double tenement house
for the help. His carnation plants in
the field are making a fine growth.

NURSERY NEWS.

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF NURSERYMEN.

Pres., E. W. Klrkpatrlck, McKlnney, Tex.;
Vlce-Pres., C. L. WatrouB. Ues Molnea; Secy,
Oeo. C. Seager, Rochester; Treas., C. L. Yatea,
Rochester. The 29tb annual convention will be
held at West Baden, Ind., June, 1U06.

There is considerable inquiry for Ber-
beris Thunbergii in quantity for new
work planned for fall.

The orders already booked assure a
big business in peonies in September,
both wholesale and retail.

The Amesbury Park Association has
been organized for the purpose of secur-
ing a public park for tiie city of Ames-
bury, MasB.

It is said that a Mrs. C. W. Jacocks,
near Orlando, Fla., has an improved pe-
can in such good local demand that she
has received $3 a pound for the nuts,
besides doing a nice business in nursery
trees.

C. H. Joosten was well known to most
of the nurserymen of the United States
and his demise so soon after many had
met him in the best of iiealth at the
Atlanta convention is a sho.rk. His ca-
reer is briefly sketched in the New York
notes in this issue.

The lilac is more than holding its
own; in fact, it is in greater demand
each year. From the great number of
hybrid varieties Wm. A. Peterson selects
the following as best of their colors:
Marie Legraye, white; Charles X, light
purple; Rubra de Marley, rosy purple;
Souvenir de Ludwig Spaeth, dark pur-
ple.

C. W. Ward says that, while conifers
and evergreens may be planted in the
latter part of August and during the
month of September, even up to the mid-
dle of October, and a large proportion
live and do well, his experience has dem-
onstrated that early spring is the best
time for planting the general run of
evergreens.

NEWPORT, R. L

The Market.

The Newport season can be said to be
just getting into full swing, and the past
week has seen a much better business
among the florists. There have been
quite a number of lunchoons and dinners
given the past few days, and as August
approaches theso will incroase greatly.
August is the great month here among
the summer colony, for it is then that
the entertaining is at its height among
the "400." Sweet peas are more popu-
lar this year than ever, especially lav-
ender and pink shades; but the market
has been flooded with tliom, and until the
past fow days they have boon almost with-
out value. Some of the best growers hold
their peas for 25 cents ])or hundred, and
sell at this figure or not at all. It is
a good plan, as certainly good flowers
well bunched are worth that. The best
American Beauty roses sell on Bellcvue
avenue for $5 to $6 per dozen; Liberties
and Raiserins for $3 to $4 a dozen ;
gardenias 50 cents each, and valley $2.50
t« $3.50 per bunch of twenty-fivo. Out-
door hardy stuff goes v>iry well, and is
sold as circumstances direct at good

prices. Trade on the whole is very good
indeed.

Horticttltttral Society.

The Newport Horticultural Society
held its last July meeting Wednesday
evening with Vice-President Alexander
Mcljellan presiding. There was consid-
erable business to be done making ar-
rangements for the annual exhibition
September 19, 20 and 21. It was decided
to have music the last day of the show,
and dancing in the eveniug after the
exhibition is over at nine o'clock. There
has never been a year when more interest
has been shown, and everything now
points to the largest and best show the
society has ever held. Winfield Scott
Sisson and D. J. Coughlan were elected
members of the society.

Various Notes.

Never have cactus dahlias Ijeen as pop-
ular here as now. They will have a great
run this summer. Already the society
people are having decorations of dahlias
exclusively for dinners and luncheons.
The dahlias are favorites because they
bloom when other outdoor flowers are
scarce and most) needed for the great
number of dinners and other August
functions. Special colors that are favor-
ites are being grown in large blocks on
all the big places. Especially do the
gardeners like Katharine Duer, the ele-
gant scarlet; and, by the Avay, this dahlia
originated here in Newport, and I will
tell you more about it home day. Mrs.
Charles Turner, for a yellow is planted
very largelj and also niauy other solid
colors of tne cactus type.

The highway department tree trimmers
are at work on the big elm in front of
the city hall and there is a great amount
of comment heard because the tree, which
is one of the landmarks of Broadway,
is apparently slowly d^nng. When the
granoiethic sidewalk was placed in front
of the city hall it was remarked that
there was too little space about the tree
for its proper growth, and the prediction
seems to have become a fact.

The police received a complaint on
Friday from a well known citizen that
the flowers he and other relatives had
placed on his wife's grave had been re-
peatedly stolen. Many complaints of the
same nature have been heard consider-
ably of late and some steps must cer-
tainly be taken to put a stop to it.

M. Butler & Son report tliat the season
just closed has been on t)ie whole a mast
excellent one although very trying, be-
cause the late spring made everything
come together; but it is over and the
customers have been somehow kept sat-
isfied. Zero.

Brooklyn, N. Y. — Chas. Zeller is
building a workshop 30x40 to cost
$1,000.

Charles City, Ia. — ^Mark Wetherbee
entertained the local florists' association
July 22 and 23.

Omaha, Neb. — The Nebraska Florists'
Society will hold its annual picnic
Wednesday, Aug. 3, at Courtland Beach.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Business conditions here remain un-
changed so fax as the store business is
concerned. Some of the dealers still
report a brisk demand in cut flowers
for delivery at the different state build-
ings in the World's Fair grounds.
Others have been busy with funeral
work.

The month of July is reported by some
of the dealers as much better than last
year. Of course, the World's Fair has a
great deal to do with the increase of bus-
iness this year among the florists. The
plantsmen especially are much pleased
with the business they have done this
spring and summer, as very much more
was done in the planting line. The
wholesalers too are well pleased with
the business they have done the past
season and good prices prevailed through-
out.

Stock at the present time in roees is
quite plentiful but only in second grades.
First-class, fancy stock is out of the
question in all varieties. The price on
the best rosee that come in is $5 and $6
per 100. White and pink are coming in
abundancej so are short American
Beauties. Carnations are very poor in-
deed, the bulk of them being hardly
salable for any use. The best are in
big demand, especially the white. Col-
ored stock has little demand except when
fancy. For the best $2 is asked and 75
cents to $1.50 per 100 for the rest.

Sweet peas are very poor, owing to
too much rain of late. Peas have a
good demand, when good, at 25 cents per
100. Lily of the valley is at a stand-
still, though of extra fine quality. Among
the outdoor stock, tuberoses and asters
are selling well. Gladioli are slow at
$2 and $3. Other outdoor truck has
very little call now. Smilax and other
greens are as usual.

Various Notes.

The weather in St Louis at present is
very cool. The summer has so far been
in fine contrast with the season in cities
where St. Louis has long been misrepre-
sented. The deadly heat of some more
northern cities is never felt here.

Max Herzog took advantage of the
cool summer and was married on last
Wednesday to Miss Bertha Ulrich. Only
near friends and relatives attended the
wedding. Congratulations are now in

order and we hope Miix will attend the
next club meeting to receive them.

The finance committee held a meeting
last Thursday at Weber's store. It can
be safely said that this committee is
doing its share of work. They report
plenty of fimds on hand for all purposes
during the convention of the S. A. F.
next month. This committee will meet
again this week to complete arrange-
ments.

The general entertainment committee,
consisting of all the chairmen of the
different committees, will meet this
week Wednesday to perfect all arrange-
ments for entertaining the S. A. F.
members. President Breitmeyer, of De-
troit, and Phil Hauswirth, of Chicago,
are expected here this week to look over
the ground.

Carl Beyer, chairman of the bowling
committee, reports a great many prizes
to date for the bowlers; in fact, so
many that nearly everybody should
carry home a prize of some Mnd. One
of the finest among them is a large sil-
ver trophy, donated by the Anheuser
Busch Brewing Association, also a fine
gold medal by the Brunswick-Balke Com-
pany to be known as the champion
medJaX. C. A. Kuehn and Henry Oster-
tag are also in line with prizes. Mr.
Beyer, too, will donate a handsome
prize.

It will be well for all the bowling
captains to send in iheir entries, so
that we can know in advance just how
many teams wiU bowl in the tournament.
The alleys have plenty of room for
twelve clubs to bowl at one time, and
we hope to have at least ;hat many teams
if not more. We rely on teams from
Chicago, Buffalo, New York, Washing-
ton, Baltimore, Cleveland, Detroit, Mil-
waukee, Omaha, Philadelphia. Flatbush,
Pittsburg and St. Louis to be with us
next month and take part in the tourna-
ment.

Visitors here in the florist trade are:
J. Mead, representing the Furman boilers ;
J. T, Goodlive, of Zanesville, O. ; Mr.
Huckleberry, of North Vernon, Ind. ; J.
Warren, of Louisville; Wm. Kutschback,
of Houston, Ttex.

The big floral parade on the water will
take place Saturday morning at the
World's Fair. The Eggeling Floral Co.
has the contract to furnish the flowers for
the occasion. This wiU be a grand af-
fair, as twenty-five floats will be dressed
in flowers. The contract calls for $15,-

000 and only twelve hours to do the
work, starting after ten o'clock Friday
night, the parade starting" at ten o'clock
Saturday morning.

Bowling;*

The St. Louis convention team rolled
a match of three games with the next
five highest men of the Florists' Bowl-
ing Club. The convention team gave
them a handicap of 125 pins per game,
total pins to count. The convention
team won by forty-two pins, as the fol-
lowing scores will show:

St. Louis Hotels.

The Florists' Club has issued a list of
nearly 100 hotels at which accommoda-
tions may be had during the S. A. F.
convention at from 50 cents per night
upward, most of the rates being from
$1 to $2 per night. There are ample
sleeping accommodations in St. Louis at
reasonable rates. But it would be wise
to make arrangements in advance. Write
F. M. Ellis, 1316 Pine street, chairman
of the hotel committee of the St. Louis
Florists' Club. Better do it today.

Good "corn weather" is reported at
most of the sections where seed corn is
grown.

The onion set harvest as it progresses
shows a heavy falling oflf from what was
expected.

Cable advices from London and Paris
July 23 report continued dry weather
with high temperatures.

At Chicago the deficiency in precipita-

^u"" 9''/.^^'' ^° 19<>4 in 5.53 inches and
tue deficiency in temperature 635 de-
grees.

Good reports are at hand from the
radish seed sections of Michigan. The
weather at present is all that can be
desired.

The main shipments of Harrisii are
due in a few days. The crop is general-
ly estimated to be shorter tlian last year,
particularly on large sizes.

Reports to date show that the blight
on the cucumber vines that are intended
for seed is not so noticeable as on the
vines that are for the pickle men.

J. W. Rateikin, Shenandoah, la., says
his firm has over 3,000 acres of corn grow-
ing for seed purposes, with the finest
crop prospect July 25 he has seen in
years.

The onion crop will be .short. High
prices may bo looked for. Speculators
are looking over the marsh fields with
a view to securing the crops previous to
har^'e8t.

The government report shows an in-
crease of 2,823,000 in the cotton acreage.
If prices hold until the crop is picked
business should bo good in the south next
season.

The situation on beuus :ind peas is
unchanged. Dry weather at points in
Michigan is bad for the bean crop at
this time, and wet weather at points in
Wisconsin does the early peas no good.

The Chicago Dock Company, in which
the Dickinsons are the principal stock-
holders, have sold to the Illinois Tunnel
Company, for $2,500,000, the property
at West Taylor street and the river, Chi-
cago, where the office and seed ware-
houses of the Albert Dickinson Company
are located. It is stated that the Dick-
inson Company will erect a fine building
at South Chicago.

Last fall a western seedsman im-
ported a lot of 300 pounds of an Eng-
lish pickling cucumber, which had been
successfully tried in a smaller way, and
it is now being grown at several pick-
ling points in the middle west. If it
gives satisfaction, the seed could last
year have been had at considerably less
than what American pickling sorts
brought.

Eeports continue to come to hand
that the crop of French Itomans is short
and prices firm. It is reported that
American orders are not numerous, but

that other countries are buying freely.
Failure of most growers to find a profit
in this stock last year will operate to
reduce this country's requirements cour
siderably as long as present pricfts hold,
high for the bulbs, low for the cut flow-
ers.

CORN TO PLANT.

As may be seen from the letters we
have published, there still exist differ-
ences of opinion as to whether anything
more than uniform grains for planting
is obtained from discarding the tip aw]
butt kernels of field corn.

CLOVER SEED.

Henry Nungesser & Co. send out the
following under date of July 19:

There has been a very good demand In
crimson clover and already a large business has
been done. Stocks of the crop 1903 are almost
exhausted In Europe as well as In this coun-
try, and only small lots for immediate ship-
ment are left. We are very much interested
In these seeds and pay particular attention
to the importation of same. We have already
made arrangements for new crop to arrive
here August 1, 8 and 15.

The crop in Europe was at first expected
to be a large one. We find, however, that it
has not turned out so well. In consequence
the prices are already somewhat higher and
the market is very strong, and as the demand
In Europe as well as here is large, It is need-
less to e.\pect lower prices. The quality of
the new seed is excellent.

PANDANUS SEEDS.

F. B, Vandegrjft & Co., custom house
brokers, Avere recently in receipt of a
shipment of j>alm and pandanus seeds
mixed. A protest was made at the duty
assessed, the following being the ruling
of the board of appraisers:

The goods in this case were all assessed
for duty at thirty per cent ad valorem under
the provision for "seeds of all kinds not spe-
cially provided for" in paragraph 254 of the
tariff act of 1897. The local appraiser re-
ports that the merchandise consists of palm
nuts and pandanus seeds mixed, the greater
part of which are pandanus; and that as no
separation was possible, they were returned
as though all were pandanus seeds. The palm
and pandanus appear to belong to different
Iwtanlcal orders, and there is nothing In the
case before us which would enable us to say
that the clnsslflcatloa of pandanus seeds under
paragraph 254 was not correct. Palm nuts
are. by name, made free of duty under para-
graph 622, and on this provision the protest-
ants base their claim.

The proportion of palm nuts In the Importa-
tion, however, has not been shown, and it is a
well-eatabllshed principle that collectors, where
free and dutiable goods are thus commingled,
may assess the entire Importation at the rate
applicable to the dutiable merchandise, unless
the Importer shows what part of the whole
Is n'lt subject to duty. The protest Is over-
ruled.

Barrie, Ont. — Wm. Taylor has suc-
ceeded F. Brown as leasee of the Morgan
greenhouses. He will grow carnations,
chrysanthemums and bedding stock.

Albany, N. Y.— The New York Mar-
ket Florists' Association has been
licensed to incorporate with $5,000 capi-
tal; directors, H. C. Steinhoff and John
Birnie, West Hoboken; P. F. Daley, New
Durham. This is the association which
proposes to build a 'permanent plant
market in New York.

FLOW FROM RETURN.

In heating with steam, is it practical
to take off a fiow from a return pipe
which is already established and lead the
return pipes back to the main return pipe
to the boiler? Is it necessary that flow
pipes be overhead, or can they be strung
along the side walls if properly ar-
ranged? Lack of access to a competent
steam fitter causes me to ask these sim-
ple questions. C. L. W.

Yes, a flow may be taken from a return
if not too far from tl\e boiler and there
is no danger of the return becoming
choked by condensation. It is not ad-
visable to do this if a flow, or riser, can
be carried from a main riser or from the
boiler direct. #The riser, or flow, may be
carried either under the ridge or along
the side walls or under the benches, just
as one sees fit, so long as it is properly
graded and the returns which it supplies
are all beneath it, so as to care for all
condensation. In steam heating the high-
est point in the system should be as
nearly directly over the boiler as possible.
This provides that all condensation must
pass the length of the flow pipe, enter the
returns and thus find its way back to tne
boiler. All this is simply a matter of
grading the pipes. The greater the dif-
ference between the height of the riser
and returns the better, everything else
considered. L. C. C.

Richmond, Ind. — H. M. Altick, of
Dayton, 0., was here July 12 to pro-
cure the arrest of one Wm.. Jones, ac-
cused of burglarizing Mr. Altick 's home
and attacking Mr. Altick more than a
year ag6. The man's whereabouts bad
just been discovered.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

JULT 28, 1904.

TORONTO.

The Market.

■ Trade during the last week has been
slow and some of our florists claim it
is even worse than last year, while others
say they are about even with last year's
trade. I think a considerable damper was
put on trade by a few very hot days. This
week demand appears to be better and
the temperature a little more reasonable.
Amongst growers, w© find them nearly
all busy planting. Although no roses of
new stock are coming in yet, some of the
growers tell us they expect to be cutting
early in August. The supply of carna-
tions is shortening. Outdoor stock is
coming in quite plentifully.

Various Notes.

A. Gilchrist, Toronto Junction, had
his chimney struck by lightning one
day last week and considerable damage
done.

Chas. Tid^, of S. Tidy & Sons, is at
present on his vacation and does not ex-
pect to be back until the second week in
August.

The Toronto Gardeners' and Florists'
Association has been invited by the Dale
estate to visit the establishment at
Brampton on August 3, and I understand
it has accepted the invitation and will
make it the annual picnic and outing.

"I have several times been consulted
by those who would make a beginninf;
in the Florists' business. In each case I
have said that the first step is to sub-
scribe for a Trade Paper, and the next to
procure a copy of The Florists' Manual."

I LIKE the Review and would not be
without it. The only reason I did not
advertise in it this season was that local
trade took all the stock; did not have
enough and had to buy through the ad-
vertisements in the Review ; that 's where
to look for what you want. — J. A. Ken-

LETTUCE IN HOTBED.

I have a piece of ground 30x120 on
^vhich I wish to build a greenhouse or
houses. The exposure is good, but the
drainage poor; cannot go more than
five foot below the floor. Have natural
gas for fuel and want to heat with hot
water. Tlio main crops will be carna-
tions and lettuce. Could I build a house
Iwonty-two feet wide with four benches
and throe walks, putting the lettuce in a
hot-bed on the east side of the house
with two 1-inch hot water pipes cov-
ered with tile in the bottom of the bed?
Would the hot-bed work for a first crop,
say from November to January, and
again in early spring to meet the out-
door crop. C. E. S.

I see no rea.<!on why your plan to build
one house as described should not work
all right with the hot-bed for lettuce.
But I would not put the pipes in the

bottom of the bed, as lettuce does better
with the roots cooler than the overhead
temperature. Two 1-inch hot-water pipes
seem rather little to maintain a growing
temperature during zero weather, which
we are apt to get even in December.
Though they will struggle along at a
lower temperature, to keep them growing
as they ought to grow about 45 degrees
by night is necessary. I would suggest
that you put two pipes of the size men-
tioned along each side of the pit about
one foot above the level of the soil. This
would not only insure you against all
weather, but, with such an arrangement,
lettuce could be grown right through the
winter if desired. W. S. Croydon.

VEGETABLES UNDER GLASS.

Writing of a trip to the vicinity of
Boston last fall, Charles H. Black, of
Hightstown, N. J., says:

At Belmont we visited the place of
Hitter Bros., one of whom conducted
us through the houses. He was a gentle-
man who knew his business, and not
afraid of work. Several large houses
mostly 50x300 and 600 feet, glazed with
large double thick glass. One house
50x000 feet, planted in tomatoes in rows
three feet apart, trained to single stems,
and full of fruit from bloom to half
grown. One house just set in lettuce,
and one or two smaller houses of toma-
toes, were all that were planted. What
was strange and interesting to me, w.'is
the mode of culture. The houses have
all solid beds about three feet deep of
rich soil and manure. I was informed
by Mr. Hitter that after each crop the
beds were spaded over and thoroughly
pulverized, then a heavy dressing of
partially rotted stable manure was
worked in and the beds thoroughly sat-
urated with water, and when in proper
condition planted and not wet again
during the time of the crop's growth;
the plants are not even wet when trans-
planted. I asked how they made small,
tender lettuce plants live without water
or shadef I was told that it was not
necessary, that a lettuce plant could not
be killed very easily. I suppose the
plants must assume the hardy character
of the Yankee. I would expect the plants
to die with me under such treatment.
Thetomaloes were treated in the same
manner. The plants were about three
feet high, and in perfect health. The
top soil seemed like dry dust, but tho
deep, rich, mellow bed seemed to supply
everything needed. This method 1
thought appeared better than sub-irriga-
tion. One house 50x600 feet was cer-
tainly evidence enough of the success of
this treatment. Sometimes two crops of
lettuce are grown without water. Every-
thing showed intensive culture.

The Weekly Florists^ Review.

July 28, 1904.

PACIFIC COAST.

ARAUCARIAS.

The araucaria family furnishes us
with some of the most beautiful speci-
men trees we have on this coast. They
are all noted for their symmetricaJ ap-
pearance and as an avenue tree they have
no equals. Araucaria excelsa, A. Bid-
willi, A. Cunninghami, A. Cooki, A.
BraziUensis and A. imbricata are per-
fectly hardy in this latitude. They are
all easily grown from seed, if the seed
be fresh, for, unlike many of the large
conifers, it is not a good keeper. When
I stated that as a family they are hardy
I should add that A. excelsa, A. Cooki
and A. Cunninghami will not stand over
a few degrees of frost until they are
established several years in the open
ground. I have lost them in extra cold
winters even when they had attained five
or six feet in height Consequently it
is a good plan to cover up these varieties
during the coldest weather. Araucaria
Bidwilli is hardy but does not like a
superabundance of moisture during the
rainy season, and if it is planted in
such a location that the drainage is not
ample it has a habit of browning badly
on the foliaga

Araulcaj-ia imbricata is perfectly
hardy and is considered the finest
variety. It grows here to a height of
fifty feet and specimen plants are always
in good demand at big prices. A fifteen-
foot tree easily brings $150 and very
few of them are offered at any price.
They are of alow growth until they
get fairly well grown, when they stretch
out much faster in proportion than when
they are small. They are easily grown
from seed and also from cuttings. With
the latter it takes them usually six
numths to root well, but they quickly
make a vigorous plant when raised thia
way.

Araucaria excelsa, ' if a little hardier,
would be an ideal lawn tree. Araucaria
Brazilienais is a beautiful tree and of
fairly rapid growth. It is very suscepti-
ble to water at the root and must be
planted in a situation where the drainage
is good. It is easily grown from cut-
tings and makes a vigorous plant in
much less time than one that is grown
from seed. Araucaria Cooki makes a
very large and showy specimen and is
much finer foliage than the variety I
have just spoken of. It is not extensive-
ly grown here in recent years, seed being
very difficult to obtain.

Seed of all the araucaria family is
obtained principally from Australia, and
unless it is shipped perfectly fresh it
is usually of no account when it gets
here. Many seasons it is impossible to
procure some sorts, and although we
have had fair success the past few years,
I do not think there is any danger of
these beautiful evergreens becoming too
plentiful. G.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market

We are having continued cool weather
and, in fact, the entire coast is having
an unusual summer. On Friday morn-
ing we were treated to a small shower,
the first that has fallen in this month in
a great many years. I think this favors
the florists considerably, as well as the
growers, as reports from the various
Bxamaaar resorts show that the people

are slowly coming back to town, the
weather alon^ the seashore and in the
mountains being too cold to be enjoya-
ble. It is much more satisfactory for
the retailers to handle stock in such
weather as we have' had for the past
two months than in the kind we ex-
pect at this season. Cut flowers keep
fuUy as long now as they do at any time
of the year, and the ^(rowers are able
to cut flowers of better color and sub-
stance than they usually do in June,
July and August. Lilium album a<nd
rubrum have made their appearance and
their advent is always welcomed by the
retailers. They are splendid (keepers,
eagerly bought by the public, and make
a good showing in the windows, some-
thing we have sorely needed for some
time. They are selling wholesale at
$2.50 per dozen, Boses are scarce and
are in good demand. Many of the grow-
ers are drying out their houses. Carna-
tions are plentiful again and of good
quality. Some of our largest growers
are cutting quantities of Enchantress at
present. Asters are coming in slowly.
I think we will have a good succession of
flowers for several months. Sweet peas
are still very plentiful. Sweet sultan is
being brought in by several growers and
sells readily at from 75 cents to $1 per
hundred stems. Golden coreopsis is
another article that is in good demand
and sells at 75 cents per dozen bunches.
Double white dahlias, are very handy to
have to use in funeral work. Smilax is
in season, but the strings are short and
soft. Some very good outside Cecil
Brunner rosee are coming in. This rose
does very well in the summer. It wants
an abundance of moisture and the flow-
ers should be kept picked off to get the
best results.

DETROIT.

Various Notes.

On last Wednesday, July 20, the an-
nual outing and picnic of the Detroit
Florists' Club was held at Bois Blanc
park, and it was the largest in point of
attendance of any, there being over 100
present, and a most beautiful day. The
committee in charge had prepared an
excellent program. There was but one
thing that marred the enjoyment of the
occasion and that was the absence of the
members who reside in Mt. Clemens. But
one of them can be excused, for Jas.
Taylor is building himself a house in
which to entertain his friends and care
for his large family of children.

Thete has been a general complaint
about Detroit for some tim» of the
lack of rain, several of the florists in
the suburbs being entirely without
water, but on Thimdiy a heavy rain
helped out and cooled off the atmos-
phere.

The delegation to St. Louis will be a
light one in number, but heavy in weight,
as it will consist of President Breit-
meyer, Wm. Dilger, J. F. Sullivan and
son and possibly on© or two others, all
heavyweights, who can afford to lose
some flesh. The thin ones, all being
afraid of the heat in St. Louis, have
decided not to go.

There is not much business for the
grower just now, but there is plenty of
work in planting, repairing, etc. Some
carnations are being housed, Backham
having finished last week, with a very
fine lot of plants. Rag.

BUTTE, MONT.

The cut flower business is at a stand-
still at present. Tlie greenhouse force
is doing the hustling stunt. At Greg-
son, the pipes formerly were iinder the
benches, too close for the roses. Now
they are being put on the sides of the
house, hung around. The pipes have been
in use four years and it was predicted
that they would corrode with the natural
hot water from, the springs. They were
just as clean as when put in. Mr. Day
claims this conies from iieeping the pipes
filled up aJl the time. As usual their
carnations are very fine. Mr. Day speaks
of the wonders Lawsou has done the
past season.

A trip to the Columbia gardens was
well worth the writer's time. Up to
within the last two weeks they have been
having frost up there. The pansy beds
are fine; never saw any better, and the
stocks and snapdragon are all that could
be expected. The geraniums are not so
good. The lawns look good. Mr. Sie-
gel has planted hundreds of Canadian
poplars and they are doing well. At
the houses he has be.'iutiful begonias.
A bench in the center of the house is a
profusion of blooms. He is still cut-
ting from his carnation house, some very
fine Enchantress and Lawson. He has
a stephanotis vine in full bloom. Three
years ago he received, among a lot of
Beauty plants from Chicago, a climbing
rose which is a beautiful thing. It
has a flower shaped on the order of
President Camot, about two shades
darker tlian Testout, about the size of
a large Beauty and a continuous bloom-
er. Mt. Siegel has tried his best to find
out what it is, but no one seems to
know it. If unnamed, it may be called
Senator W. A. Clark.

M. Law has returned from Spokane.
He will open an up-to-late store there
this fall. Elmer Law is in Salt Lake at
present, where he expects to locate.

Wm. Hendrickson, at Missoula, will
have some fine gladioli, sweet peas and
phlox to ship soon.

The Columbia gardens, if present
plan.s arc carried out, will liave an en-
tirely new range of hou.os this fall.

Sylvester Hansen, who lias charge of
W. A. Clark, Jr. 's houses, will devote
one house entirely to orchids this sea-
son.

A cloudburst on the flats gave the
boys at tlie old Law plant quite a scare
last week. Not much damage was done.

The State Nursery lias a stand in one
of the Park street restaurants and has
a nice display window.

The Montana Florists' Club has elect-
ed the following officers: President, O.
A. C. Oehmler; vice-president, Charles
W. Wilson; secretary, A. C. Wilhelm;
treasurer, Victor Siegiel; directors, James
H. King. N, N. McN:unee and Syl-
vester Hansen. A committee consisting
of Jacob Seitz, S. Hansen and C. W.
Wilson, was appointed to promote the
interests of Montana horticulturists. The
club proposes to hold a picnic at the
gardens next month and appointed a
committee to arrange for the affair.

TheWcekly Florists* Review.

July 28, 1904.

PITTSBURG.

The Market

One could not make a report on the
noarket, as there is apparently nothing in
the market. Asters are still very scarce,
the same with carnations and roses hardly
worth mentioning; in fact, we are in
the worst of the summer season as far as
cut flower men are concerned.

There was some business in funeral
work last week owing to the death of
Thos. S. Biglow; many designs and
bunches of flowers of all kinds were used.
The retailers do not seem to complain
very much, as they think better times
are coming, as things are brightening up
in the iron industries and mills are start-
ing, so it is only a question of a little
time until money is more plentiful and
trade will be accordingly good. Many
of the boys are taking advantage of the
summer dullness and are taking vaca-
tions.

Varioos Notes.

Mr. McClements, of Randolph & Mc-
Clements, is reported sick at his farm
at Bakerstown. Sam is a breeder of
fancy stock in Shetland ponies as a kind
of diversion from his decorative business.

Walter Breitenstein is spending much
of his leisure time canoeing on the
waters at home, and with an occasional
jaunt through the woods he manages to
keep himself sunbiimed and happy.

T. P. Langhans, of the Pittsburg Cut
Flower Co., witb his family and a party
of friends, has gone to Bobcaygeon, Can-
ada, for a fishing spell.

John Bader is back from Atlantic
City. He is a Shriner and went with the
Shriners. Nuff-Ced.

Geo. L. Huscroft, of Steubenville, O.,
is an Elk, and went to Cincinnati with
the Elks. Well, he got back.

John Baldinger, of T. M. Ulam & Co.,
who was laid up with the rheumatism, is
able to attend to business again.

Dave Geddis, of Geddis & Blind Bros.,
went to the mountains alone, leaving Mrs.
Geddis and the baby boy at home. He
lasted four days and got so homesick
that he looked up a fast train.

Hoo-Hoo.

Wbstville, O. — Albert Barber and
Otto Beisch, the new proprietors of the
Graves & Beisch business, have removed
the greenhouses to the Barber farm north
of town.

Reading, Pa. — Edgar H. Beears has
purchased a plot of ground at Rose-
dale and has erected a residence and a
greenhouse 250 feet long. Four more
greenhouses will go up shortly.

THE READERS* CORNER.

Primula Poisoning.

The writer having lately been severely
poisoned, and not having come in con-
tact with any poison ivy, Rhus toxico-
dendron, ascribes the cause to Priniula
obconica. The symptoms of the poison-
ing were those characteristic of Ehus
toxicodendron, viz., forming of vesicles
or small blisters which, after scratching,
because so awfully itchy, will run to-
gether, forming larger sores, at the same
time increasing in number and attack-
ing other parts of the body, causing bad
swellings and, putting it mildly, giving
much discomfort.

Now I wish to know what the ex-
perience is, of other florists, in regard
to the poisonous effects of Primula ob-
conica. Almost after every handling of
these plants I notice an itching on my
hands, but not being severe, do not pay
much attention to it. But this last time,
my face getting th© worst of it, causes
me to ask the opinion of the florists, not
about my face, to be isure, but of the
advisability of running the chances with
our customers in selling them such
poisonous plants, for surely one could
bring a good damage suit against the
florist who did so. A. M.

, Variotis Notes.

Regarding the new pest of the
chrysanthemum described on page 380
of the issue for July 21, it seems to be
the same pest that infests my asters. No
use to say any more.

If Herman Schlachter wants to be rid
of the spite fence described by him
July 21, let the parties put their switch
through and the fence will be removed,
I can assure him.

To-day, July 22, it was 69 degrees at
St. Lows at 7 a. m., and 76 degrees at
noon. Not such a hot town, is it?

ClIAS. JUENGEL.

Galesbubg, III. — Gesler & Drury have
finished benching 14,000 carnation plants.

New Bedford, Mass. — Joseph V.
Pierce has gone to Elmira, N. Y., to take
charge of a section for the United States
Cut Flower Co. He is a well-liked young
man and a good grower.

HEATING ADDITION.

We have three greenhouses, each sixty
feet long, one twelve feet wide, one six-
teen feet and one twenty feet. We are
heating with a No. 16 Hitchings boiler.
We are now extending all the houses to
eighty feet. Would it be safe to heat
them with the same boiler? During the
past winter when the temperature out-
6^ide was 20 degrees below zero we held
the temperature at 60 degrees in one
house and 52 degrees in others. D. & C.

To maintain a temperature of 60 de-
grees in your completed house, i. e., those
eighty feet long, it will require a boiler
with a capacity to carry about 1,400
feet of radiation, or a boiler with at
least 150 feet of heating surface. I ao
not have the rating of the Hitchings No.
16 at hand, but the makers will furnish
this information on application.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

Jolt 28, 1904.

RICHMOND, IND.

The too frequent rains, continually
cloudy and uncertain weather in this lo-
cality has somewhat retarded the growth
of the caruationfc and other plants which
Avere set out in the field. A week of
good, sunny weather, such as we get
every once in a while, to remind us that
it is summer, would set the plants to
rights again.

At the E. G. Hill Company's plant
work is progressing rapidly. All of the
10^ es lor fall and winter blooms are now
benched and are in fine condition. Be-
sides the two houses 400 feet long which
are devoted to roses, another house 200
feet long has been filled with roses for
winter blooms.

Five benches 200 feet long are filled
with Mr. Hill's very promising and fav-
orite seedling, Etna. It is a remarkable
grower and is constantly making those
much wanted breaks at the bottom which
give the fine, firm stem so prettily setting
oflf the blooms. It looks as if it will
prove all that Mr. Hill desires it to be.

Four benches 200 feet long are filled
with the English rose which captured the
prize of $50 at the Indianapolis show last
fall. This is also an excellent grower
and is doing well.

Two large frames have recently been
built for potted mums. A new propa-
gating house will soon be put up. It
will be used for propagating rose cut-
tings only.

Ed. Kuch is building two houses 100

Please sive me your price on two No. 7 and one No. 6 Boilers. I
saw your advertisement for early orders and I want to get that discount.
Z have mn one of your Ho. 6 boilers now for ten yean and
I did not pnt one cent to It for repairs. That is a record. How
much money do you want down on each boiler to bind the order?
Please send me a cataloKue.

The No. 2 Boiler bought of you last Fall has Kiven me entire satis-
faction. The two coldest days this winter, with the tamp«ratnr« 15
below sero and a howlinK wind at 60 miles an hour, have kept the
water at a boiling point and that with only two-thirds of the grate
covered with live coal. This is my boiler when I need more.

BEGINNINGS

IN DESIGN...

A SWEET PEA DESIGN.

A Flat Quster From Nature.

Frequent application may be made of
the principle laid down in the first of
this series as to where to obtain designs
for flat clusters. Eemembering from
Avhat source we traced the design of the
rose bunch from the general character
of the stem, leaf and flower arrangement
of a single rose, we will consider today
a similar application of the same law.
Take a single spray of sweet peas. Fol-
low the simple outline and get a general
idea of the form which the flowers take.
See it with your eyes shut, then fashion
in your mind a cluster of sweet peas
-which takes the same general form as
this Outlined flower presents. Will it
r.ot look something like the cluster illus-
tratedt

Forming the Cluster.

Now as to the most convenient way
to arrange such a bunch as the above. Sup-
pose we are to use from 200 to 500 peas
in the cluster, the upper spurs of the
cluster can be lengthened to several times
the original measurement and the lower
branch in proportion. Plan to make the
spray in several pieces and then flnish
by fastening tliem together. Select a
number of branches of the pea vino
from twelve to about thirty inches long.
Fasten two or three together lengthwise
by wrapping with No. 36 wire. If this
foundation should not appear strong
enough to hold the cluster, stiffen it by
slipping in a heavy rose stem, but 'lo
not allow the rose stem to interifere with
the natural bend of the pea vine. Pre-
pare another strong stem of the same
kind for the left side of the bunchy For
the right upper lobe of the cluster se-
lect a stem with tendrils, foliage and
buds which curve toward the left as in
the illustration, and for the opposite
branch, a stem which bends to the right.

If the bunch is to be made of assorted
colors, begin at the top of the branches
with the most delicate tints and as you
fasten the flowers do'vyn the stem, blend
the colors from tint at the top to shade
at the base. "With a bunch of fine wire
in hand begin to slip in at rar^ intervals
among the tendrils and small foliage of
the upper part of the vine, a few of the
pea blossoms. Wrap the flower stems
securely with one or two rounds of the
wire, in among the foliage where the
wire cannot be seen, and proceed down-
ward, making the cluster heavier and the
flowers closer until the first vine is cov-
ered with flowers.

Follow Nature.

Of course it is in place here to say,
be natural. But just how to be natural
in this work must be attained by slow
stages and close observation. As you
have opportunity study the arrangement
of the foliage and flowers on the vine
as it grows. Apply such ^ knowledge as
you gain from time to time at the first
opportunity, and it will become second

nature to you to make clusters after
these hitherto unapproached patterns.

Complete the opposite branch of the
cluster in the same way.

Joining the Parts*

About half way down the length of
each branch draw the clusters close
enough together to fasteu them without
crossing; that is, wire them side by side
to each other at their center points, and
allow the lower ends of the clusters to
spread outwards from each other. Add
plenty of foliage, especially at the center
and around the wire ties. If the bunch
should . be so large as to be unwieldy,
add strong rose stems underneath. .If
other than the natural green is necessary,
smilax or Asparagus Sprengeri will be

purples, crimson pinks and delicate vio-
lets. Use this pink with the greenish
cream which is found in many of the
so-called white varieties of sweet peas.

Gertrude Blair.

SWEET PEAS.

Please give full instructions in regard
to growing sweet peas under glass: soil,
temperature for winter blooming, when
to plant, whether in ground or on
benches? H. L. H.

Written instructions, unless backed up
by the grower's own good judgment, are
worthless. This sweet pea growing is
like several other of the florists' crops,
not yet a fixed or absolute method and,
therefore, although observant, the writer
would hardly like his advice to be con-
sidered infallible.

Sweet peas outdoors in summer should
have the greatest depth and richness of
soil that it is practicable to give them, be-
cause you want them to be enduring. In
the greenhouse this is not the object.
F.arliness in flowering is the great point
in view. Whether in a low bed or a
laised bench, six inches of soil is all that
should be given them.

On Sunday, July 31, we thought a good

found a pretty addition. Ribbon may
be added or not, according to taste; but
if used, it should be narrow, witn an
abundance of short loops and ends.

As to Q>lors.

To such an extent does a single color
tone run through many of the varieties
of sweet peas that one may almost paint
a rainbow with their soft hues. This one
color tone is the trace of purple found
either nearly pure or in composition. The
one striking member of this symphony
would be the brilliant yellowish salmon
which is too trying to combine with the

way to celebrate the sixtieth anniversary
of our first squeak in this world would
be to visit the mammoth place of the
Lake View Rose Gardens, Jamestown, N,
Y., of which I am going to have some-
thing to say later. A house 20x200 was
empty. "What's going in here, Mr.
Roney t " " Sweet peas. ' ' And he plants
them in rows three feet apart and sows
the seed the end of this month and says
he can flower them in seven weeks. That
style of sweet pea growing I. am not at
all conversant with. Here is what I have
seen most successful :
Sow a few seeds in 4-inch pots. After

they are up thin out to three plants. If
you are doing nothing with the bench
you can sow the seeds on the bench, but
usually the sweet peas succeed mums on
the bench. Let the rows be at least
eighteen inches apart across the bench
and, if sown, the plants should not be
nearer than three inches. If put into
the bench from pots, then a clump of
three plants one foot apart will be
right. The original growth should be

encouraged to grow up and should be
trained up a string, just as you would
smilax. All lateral or bottom growth
should be kept pinched off, or it will en-
tirely overwhelm the first growth, which
would, if encouraged, give you the early
blooms. Fifty degrees at night is the
temperature. A little below that will
not hurt and the greatest amount of light
you can give them. W. S.

Transplanting Evergreens.

C. W. Ward was quoted very recently
as saying that evergreens could be trans-
planted from the middle of August to
the end of September and even in Octo-
ber, but he much preferred transplant-
ing in the spring. Undoubtedly the
month of May in our northern states is
the best of all times, yet any time in
August evergreens can be moved with
perfect safety. We will, under favor-
able conditions, include the two first
weeks of September, but don't go be-
yomd that. To transplant a Colorado
blue spruce or Austrian pine in October
would be sure death unless you could lift
it with a perfect ball of earth and with-
out the loss of a fibre.

Circumstances alter cases. Nurserymen
are growing more honest and able. The
man who used to plant a row of Norway
spruces when they were six inches high,
leaving them untouched for five or six
years and selling them when they were
four feet high, will soon be a relic of
past civilization. Nurserymen are now
transplanting their evergreens, so that
with decent, intelligent care, there is a
good prospect of your saving a great
majority of them. No matter how fa-
vorable the time, or if watering, mulch-
ing and every other attention be given,
you can't keep alive ope of those trees
that has lost every working root and fibre
in lifting.

If you have occasion to move ever-
greens, do it at once. See that fine soil
is in contact with all the roots. When
the soil is filled in to within six inches
of the surface, give them a thorough
soaking and wnen the water has soaked
away, fill in with the dry soil and on top
of that a mulch of two or three inches
of stable litter is most beneficial.

All this seems quite a performance, but
to water on the surface and then allow
the ground to bake, is really a little
worse than notning. The whole secret
of successful transplanting is the avoid-
ance of loss of roots. How easily the
greenhouse man shifts a plant from a
2-inch to a 4-inch or an 8-inch to a
12-inch pot without the loss of a tender
leaf, because no root or fibre is lost or
bruised. This is impossible in moving
an elm or Norway spruce, but the nearer
you approach, so relatively will be the
measure of your success.

Propagating Geraniums,

Some people begin propagating zonale

geraniums early in August. Those who

have tried it have learned to be wiser.

It's too hot and in applying enough water

to keep them from drying up, they go off
with what we call the black rot, which
I suppose is a bursting of the walls of
the cellular tissue and the decay which
must ensue. Wait until September.

9y the middle of this month and for
a few weeks later is the proper and best
time to propagate the show and fancy
pelargoniums, often called Lady Wash-
ington. I suppose pelargonium is the
correct generic name of all our geraniums
and in Europe they are generally known
as zonale pelargoniums, show pelargoni-
ums, etc., but here in this expansive and
expanding country, the old familiar
name, geranium, is so firmly fixed that
it would take a century to amend it.

Lady Washington is harmless if you
like it, but Beefsteak geranium in place
of Eex begonia is slightly depressing;
in fact, it is worse than the interpreta-
tion of a young Irishman, who was once
in my employ for about seven and a half
days. I told him to carry the begonias
into the shed and after he had accom-
plished the effort, he reported that the
"Bigonions were all in."

The Show Pelargoniums.

After flowering, the show pelargoniums
make a strong growth. By the end of
July that growth is about matured and
somewhat ripened and if water has been
sparingly given for the last two or three
weeks, so much the better. When you
cut down a pelargonium for propagating,
cut it down. Leave only two or three
inches of the old stem. There will be
eyes and breaks that were not visible
to the naked eye. Keep your old plants
almost, if not quite, dry until they are
covered with signs of a new growth,
which will be in about three weeks.
Then shake off every particle of old soil.
Trina back the ends of the roots and re-
pot in a smaller pot than they flowered
in.

The cuttings from this cut-down plant
will root either singly in 2-inch pots, or
in the sand in the ordinary propagating
house. Eemember the cuttings are some-
what ripened and they do not need a lot
of water. The amount of water you
would give a batch of chrysanthemums or
poinsettias in the sand at this date would
rot the pelargoniums. Almost any part
of the plant will root, hard or soft. In
fact, in the earliest half of the last cen-
tury, I remember a good old gardener
propagating these showy plants from
pieces of the root almost as we do
bouvardias.

Decline of the Pelargonium.

That landmark of horticulture in Amer-

ica, Peter Henderson, says in his book,
"Practical Floriculture," that if -e
were compelled or had no opportunity to
grow but one plant his choice would bo
the show pelargonium. If this great,
good and shrewd man were alive today,
he would not say that, because our cli-
mate does not suit it as does that of the
British Isles. The English gardener or
nurseryman shows a plant in a 10-inch
pot that is six feet in diameter, as per-
fect in outline as an umbrella in a
shower, a great triumph of art and in-
dustry, but there is no call for that hero
and the decline and fall of the show pe-
largonium is simply explained by the
fact that the zonale pelargonium has
been so wonderfully developed in size,
color and all other desirable attributes
that the dear old pelargonium by which
we made many an honest dollar (mostly
spent) has dropped into oblivion. Grow
a few, if it is only to find out that you
are not much of a gardener after all.

The Poinsettias.

We often allude to the poinsettia be-
cause we think we know all about it,
having grown it quite successfully for
very many years and traveled with that
progressive organization known as the
Gardeners' and Florists' National Pro-
tective Federation of Labor.

Never allow your early propagated
plants to become what is called pot-
bound. You must shift them. If cut
blooms are wanted, then there is noth-
ing so good as to plant them on a bench
^n six inches of heavy, rich soil. A
poinsettia that has plenty of food at the
root will endure 10 degrees lower tem-
perature than a starved plant in a pot.
You hear occasionally some Mr. Vernon
say: "My poinsetts didn't do very
well; I ain't got heat enough." He
had heat enough, but the plants were
starved.

This month, even the end of it, is an
excellent time to put in cuttings for
plants to make the pans which are now
the most important feature of the poin-
settia business. There is a hint here..
Don't attempt to put them in the pan
from the sand, because some will b«
stronger or more vigorous than others.
After being in 2*^ -inch pots for a week
or two, you can select half a dozen of
similar strength and propensity and so
your pans will be a success. However
much nature and incidentally, an artist
hates a straight line, the public loves a
show, however gaudy, and your pans of
poinsettias should be of uniform height,
size and quality.

Lorraine Begonias. '"■'♦' -

Begonia Gloire de Lorraine is now an
established Christmas plant. Our ex-
perience with it as a house plant is not
favorable, but we have heard other ac-
counts and if its life in the dining room
is ephemeral it matters not, because it
is more beautiful than any bunch of cut
flowers can possibly be and will last
longer. Why it loses its leaves quickly
in the writer's dining room is perhaps
accounted for by the fact that we heat
and illuminate with natural gas and inter-
communicate our views and impressions
of life, past, present and prospective,
also by gas more deadly even than the
strange subterranean product.

This beautiful plant will now be mak-
ing active growth and you can still put
in cuttings. The plants rooted now will
make excellent medium-sized plants for
midwinter. The begonia is the most

You will notice that Lorraine makes
its most rapid and healthy growth after
the end of September, which is proof
that it wants, or likes, a temperate de-
gree of heat. Give all the ventilation
you possibly can and if you can shade
with a lath shading or, better still, with
a cheese-cloth shading that can be ap-
plied when the sun shines and rolled up
when Old Sol 's under the weather, you
will have a great help toward growing
this choice plant.

Label the Cannas.

This is an excellent time to label any
cannas in your field that are not what you
intended to be there. When in flower
you know them. When October's chilly
blast has shriveled up the tropical foliage
they are like the coons, they all look
alike, and only an expert can distin-
guish the dry roots. It's annoying to
l^lant a bed of 100 cannas for a cus-
tomer, supposing all David Harums, and
find in July that Mme. Crozy has
sneaked into the same bed to flirt with
him. It was written in the Gardeners'
Chronicle some thirty years ago that a
I'iimous camellia grower of Belgium could
name a thousard varieties of camellias
by their leaves. That's prodigious, as
Bominie Sampson would say. We once
knew thirty or forty zonale geraniums
by their foliage, but that day is past
and now we know better the colors of
the riders. To encumber your brain with
any Buch detail is cruelty to animals,

VISIT WITH A PEONY KING.

July 12 I had the pleasure of visiting
II. A. Terry, of Crescent, Iowa. It was
his seventy-eighth birthday. The years
sit lightly on his shoulders, for he is
an active man, at work early and late,
besides keeping up a wide correspond-
ence.

Mr. Terry has given the world some
fifty kinds of improved plums, but his
greatest achievement has been in pro-
ducing about 100 new and choice pe-
onies. I have about the same number
of his and of Kelway's, and after grow-
ing them side by aide for years, have
come to the conclusion that the main
difference is that Kelway has used the
most printers' ink.

For nearly thirty-five years this man
has been quietly at work, and never till
this summei" has he had a photograph
taken of his new creations. The ac-
companying picture gives the grand old
man in the realm of beauty which he
has called forth.

Mr. Terry has not reaped much of a
harv'est from all these j'ears of hard
toil, for he is one in whom the com-
mercial spirit is entirely dormant, despite
the best efforts of his friends to awaken
an appreciation of the business possi-
bilities which lie at his hand.

SUMMER-FLOWERING ROSES.

Summer flowering roses, such as
Kaiserin, Ivory, Meteor and any other
varieties which may be found suitable
for this purpose and which have been
planted and received the proper treat-
ment with this purpose in view, will
during the hot weather require especial
care and attention in the matter of feed-
ing and watering. By carefully observ-
ing and attending to their wants in these
essentials, the size and quality of bloom
can in a great measure be retained till
cool weather again approaches, whereas
the least neglect may allow deteriora-
tion to set in, which is hard to check.

We have found it of great advantage
to sprinkle bone flour on the surface of
the soil before applying the mulch, which

(nifTlit to be of a rather rich nature at
this season. Two parts of well decom-
posed cow manure to one part of fibrous
sod, thoroughly incorporated and made
rather fine, is a safe and effective mulch.
This should be spread rather thicker than
the earlier summer mulch, so that the
roots may derive son'.e benefit from the
cooling effect. We have frequently put
it on one and one-half inches thick with
good results.

As the mulch becomes exhausted fre-
quent applications of liquid food should
be made. The safest and best form of
liquid food is that which is procured
from the cow barn. This should be put
into a tank and allowed to stand until
fermentation has begun, when it should
be drained off and reduced to the re-
quired strength before using.

This form of food is readily assimil-
able and contains nearly all the elements
of plant life in their proper proportiona
and contains very little of the caustic
properties so observable in chemical
preparations. This can with all safety
be applied to such crops once a week
during the hot weather. EiBES.

LIBERTY.

We would like to know the treatment
for Liberty rose as regards night and
day temperature: Will it do with 56
to 58 degrees at night and 60 to 62 de-
grees in the daytime? This will be our
first season with it and we shall appre-
ciate any advice which will assist in our
success. B. & W.

The temperature at which Liberty has
done best with us has been 58 to 60
degrees at night, with a day tempera-
ture varying from 65 to 80 degrees, ac-
cording to intensity of sunshine.

This rose, being of rather an erratic
character, has in many cases failed to
respond to the treatment under which
it has formerly done well, and in con-
sequence many good growers fight rather
shy of it.

As it requires very little excuse tor
taking a rest during winter, the aim of

the grower should be to keep it in a
vigorous growing condition all the time.
This can be accompliahed by using stim-
ulants frequently and judiciously and,
as when in health it is a strong grower
and a heavy feeder, it requires more
water and nutriment than Bridesmaid.

When disbudding the stems should be
cut close to the last two eyes, thus se-

curing only the best and strongest for
future flower stems. Being rather sub-
ject to black spot, ventilation has to be
carefully attended to and should at all
times be ample.

This is one of the roses which in most
cases is more productive when carried
over a second season if properly handled.

GENERAL NOTES.

Watchfulness the Watchword.

Just now the plants are growing rap-
idly and the chief work is to keep them
clean, well tied up, suckers, side shoots
and dead leaves removed and such sim-
ilar work as may be necessary. Watch
the under side of the foliage for red-
spider and if you find any traces of it,
which you most likely will, put a sprayer
on your hose and clean it out. Spider ia
very often present on the foliage when
the individual in charge of the plants has
no idea of it.

Blackfly should be kept down by fu-
migation and remember it is far better
to fumigate lightly several times than
to smoke heavily once and burn the ten-
der foliage. It is a fact apparently not
generally known that if the foliage is
sprayed over so that every leaf is moist
no harm to the foliage will result, even
with a comparatively heavy smoking.

Caterpillars are, as usual, numerous
enough. They disfigure the foliage so
much that it is necessary to clean them
out as soon as possible and the only ef-
fective way I have so far found is hand
picking.

I have not heard of or seen any rust
on plants this year, so we may conclude
that its day is over. A spraying with
sulphide of potassium, as so often rec-
ommended in these notes, will not do any
harm, particularly if the foliage is show-
ing a disposition to leaf spot. Preven-
tion ia always better than cure.

Taking the Buds.

Early buds are being taken on the
early flowering varieties, such as Fitz-
wygram, Bergmann, etc. It is too earlv
yet to begin to take buds on the great
majority of varieties, though an expert
is run across here and there who has
begun to sit up and take notice and has
a few taken on kinds that experience has
shown him will be too late if allowed to
run on for another bud. Such kinds
would include C. J. Salter, F. S. Vallis
and the Carnots.

That grand pink, Duckham, will de-
velop from a bud taken the first week in
August, but I would not recommend it
except to tnose who want to get into the
market first, as it would come too early
for exhibition and a bud that will show
in about three weeks' time will give a
larger, broader-petaled flower and deeper
in color. Duckham is proving itself one
of the best doers ever sent out, reports
from all over the country showing it to
be making fine, clean growth.

The early flowering varieties, of
course, are naturally inclined to come
all right from the early buds, and may
be taken from now on with safety. In
the early class I would place Bergmann,
Opah, Fitzwygram, Marquis de Montmort
and ^iice Byron. I have had flowers of
Byron produced from buds taken August
8 that compared favorably with any
white I ever grew and were in fine shape
for cutting by October 1.

For the benefit of the new men in the
mum business we will endeavor to eluci-
date the question of buds as clearly as
possible in the next issue, several letters
having reached me during the past week
on this subject. Brian Borxj.

A NEW BEGONIA.

The accompanying illustration is from
a photograph of a new and strikingly
variegated begonia which was discovered
in 1901 by H. G. Wolfgang at the es-
tablishment of the Templin Co., Calla,
O. It will shortly be introduced to the
trade as Begonia Templinii, although
botanically it would be B. phyllomaniaca
variegata. It makes an upright growth
of from two to three feet and the
leaves are from six to ten inches long,
with wavy margin. The foliage is
glossy green blotched with varying
shades of yellow, tinged with flesh pink
deepening to rich crimson, the reverse
coppery crimson. In winter and spring
there is a profusion of light pink flow-
ers. The variety is easily propagated,
from leaf or stem cuttings or from the
adventitious growth which characterizes
B. phyllomaniaca. It is not only a very
striking greenhouse plant but is a good
bedder, standing the full sun well on
the grounds of the Templin Co.

There is a steadily increasing demand
for the ginkgo for street planting.

planning to add several houses to his
plant here.

CARNATION NOTES.-EAST.

Treatment After Housing.

Directly plants are housed and until
well established there should be no let
up in the exercise of every detail, how-
ever small, that will in any way contrib-
ute toward their becoming accustomed
to the new quarters. I do not wish you
to infer that after getting established
they can be left to themselves, but to lay
particular stress on the importance of
careful handling during this period.

Observance of the change from the
certain raw appearance of plants fresh
from the field, to the finished look of
vigorous growing stock under glass leads
us to inquire the reason of this trans-
formation. The bench soil, being much
richer than that in the field, has an in-
fluence, but during the first week or ten
days very little nourishment can be taken
up by the roots. Practically the plant
exists by drawing on its own supply of
stored energy, supplemented by what is
absorbed by the foliage from the atmos-
phere, which, being very different under
glass, works a change, the plant adapting
itself to conditions as found and the bet-
ter these conditions are suited to the
plants the sooner this great change is
accomplished. This is where the grow-
er's attention to details counts for
much.

Spray the plants several times during
the day, according to the weather, ar-
ranging to have the foliage dry over
night. Should the weather be cloudy
during and for a few days after planting
the foliage will probably hold up well
and you may conclude the plants are
getting finely established, but be ready
to spray when the sun appears, for the
chances are more wilting will occur than
if the weather had been fine.

In this connection it may be well to
state that heavy shading will produce the
same effect. I believe light shading Is
advisable, but would not recommend its
removal all at once. Commence on the
glass through which the first rays of the
morning sun strike, gradually working
toward the part it shines through during
the hottest time oi day, removing a por-
tion each day.

By spraying I do not mean syringing,
which ia a very different operation and
detrimental to the plants. To spray prop-
erly a strong force of water is not needed.
Have a moderate stream running through
the hose and with thumb or finger, create
a fine spray directed well up over, not
at, the plants. Have it so fine that it
will fall on the foliage in the form of
mist.

Wet the paths and space under the
benches to help lower the temperature.
Constant change of air is necessary, but
this must be accomplished without per-
ceptible draughts directly on the plants.
Watch the bench soil closely, as some
parts may dry out sooner than others.

CARNATION NOTES.— WEST.

Benching During Drouth.

We are having a splendid object les-
son this season on the advantage of
benching carnations during a dry spell.
After having plenty of rain up to July
10, we have • been having it dry since
that time and the ground is getting quite
dry. Most of the plants, especially those
which were planted early, were of fair
size by that time and these three weeks
of drouth have matured the growth so
that the plants are about half dormant
and there is almost no wilting at all
after the digging. The plants are
hungry for water and food and it takes
them only two or three days to take hold
of the soil and very little syringing is
necessary after the third day. Instead
of wishing for a rain now, which is
needed badly for other crops, we are
tempted to wish for a continuance of the
drouth until we can finish our carnation
planting.

If you have your beds ready to plant,
don't make the mistake of waiting for
a rain before digging, but start in at
once and plant all you can before a rain
sets in and softens the growth again.
After planting a certain amount of over-
head syringing is necessary, but be care-
ful that you do not overdo it. Stop it
just as soon as the plants will bear up
without it. Too much syringing will
start stem-rot into activity, if there is
any of that fungus present, and it also
tends to sour the soil and cause a green
scum to form on top. Just ad early -as
possible reduce the sprinkling to dampen-
ing the walks, which will help wonder-
fully to keep the plants fresh without
the harm resulting from continual damp
foliage. You can keep the walks damp
day and night if there is plenty of air
in the house.

By the way, don't keep the ventilators
half closed wuile planting unless the
wind is very high and a strong draught
would strike the plants. Carnations do
not need a close, hot atmosphere to re-
cover. They enjoy a cool, airy, bracing
atmosphere at all times. So keep up the
ventilators all you can. Last week we
planted a bed next to a south glass wall
from which every third pane of glass had
been removed to admit air. These plants
never wilted a particle but today are all
but one plant out of the whole bed grow-
ing nicely. That one plant had stem-rot.

Depth of Soil for Carnations.

I was glad to see those letters from
Messrs. Poehlmann and Goddard regard-
ing depth of soil and I hope many others
will tell us what they think of it. If
there are any who have tried a very shal-
low depth of soil we should very much
like to know what their experience has
been, Vvould especially like to hear from
Mr. Witterstaetter regarding that bed of
Lawson he had last season. As I said
before, I have had no experience with
less than three and one-half inches of
soil except in accidental small spots, so
I cannot speak from actual knowledge,
but I shall find out this season. Mr.
Poehlmann is right when he says that
you cannot bench a plant "from a three
and one-halt-inch pot in three inches of

The New Variegated Begonia, Templinii.

loose soil; that would never do. But
we did plant a lot of Lawson from two
and one-half-inch pots in a scant three
inches of soil in May, and the plants are
growing finely and are larger today than
the balance of the lot, which were planted
in the field. Our experiments are being
made entirely with beds made on cinders,
as we have no raised benches for car-
nations at present. With these beds there
is no danger of washing the plant-food
away, as there is with raised benches.

A. F. J, Baur.

VARIETIES TOGETHER.

We have two houses to be planted with
carnations this month and would like to
know which of the following varieties
should be planted in each house. What
temperatures should be kept? The va-
rieties *e Lawson, Wolcott, Enchantress,
Queen Louise, Flora Hill, Estelle, Nel-

son, Joost and Peru.

A. J. K.

I would plant Lawson, Gov. Wolcott,
Flora Hill and Queen Louise in one
house, giving Lawson the warmest place
in the house and Queen Louise the cool-
est. Plant the other varieties in the other
house, giving Enchantress the coolest
place and Estelle the warmest place.
Run the warmer house 52 to 56 degrees
and the cooler house 48 to 52 degrees.
Try to plant Lawson and Enchantress
where you can shade them handily with-
out shading the others, as they will need

a little shade toward spring before i^e
others are ready for it. Gov. \volcott,
Enchantress, Nelson and Peru will need
the most headroom. Lawson and Estelle
will need t-^e least headroom.

PROPAGATING HOUSE.

I want to build a propagating house
for rooting geraniums and aU kinds of
bedding stock. Would be pleased to
liave you tell me how wide and high to
make it, and every detail to arrange an
ideal propagating house, and arrange-
ment for heating, in connection with a
house devoted to bedding plants. How
would it be to place the bedding plants
on solid beds instead of raised benches,
and how would you in that case arrange
your heating pipes! For starting vege-
tablesi and pansy plants, say in January,
would you advise low, narrow houses, say
ten feet wide, or twenty-seven feet, or
wider and higher to the ridge, and how
would you arrange your ventilation for
such a house? L.

This is a large and important sub-
ject and to thoroughly do justice to it
would occupy much space, and I wUl be
as brief as the subject vrill allow. The
size of the house will depend on the
size of your business, or quantity you
want to grow. In many establishments
where roses and carnations are largely
grown you will find the propagating

house to be a lean-to, the south wall
eight feet high and the front wall five
feet. This house has a northern aspect,
with one bench and one path and, with
the exception of a few months in sum-
mer, no direct sun rays enter the house.
Then, again, at large carnation special-
ists' you will see the propagating house
an equal span twenty or more feet wide,
with three or fo\ir benches. I much pre-
fer the lighter house. If propagating on
a large scale I would prefer a house
20x100 feet to one 10x200, but remem-
ber you can root a great lot of cuttings
in a bed three feet wide and 100 feet
long.

There is a period of a week or two
after the cuttings are rooted and potted
off that it is most essential that about
the same conditions should be given the
little plants as they had in the sand,
viz., a little heat in the sand or ashes
that the pots are set on, and this brings
us to the subject of the great difference
in the requirements of our young plants.
"While the slightly warm bench will be
of the greatest benefit to young roses
when first potted from the sand, and
also almost all our bedding plants, it
would be perfectly superfluous for car-
nations. Many of our carnation grow-
ers don't believe in any bottom heat for
rooting them.

Now if I built a special propagating
house, it would be difficult to improve in
any feature on one the writer operated
many years ago, for it was perfect. Let
it be any desired length, ten feet six
inches wide and the pitch of roof a lit-
tle less than 45 degrees. The width will
give you plenty of path room without
walking sideways, and two convenient
benches. One bench you can use for
propagating and the othiir for the plants
when first potted. Don't build the
benches fastened to the posts of the
side walls. It rots the posts as well as
your benches. Build the benches inde-
pendent and board them up tight back
and front. On the front or path side of
your benches let the second board from
the top be hinged so tluit when desired
you can raise it and fasten it up so that
the heat from the pipes beneath the
bench will warm the house. In severe
weather this works well, because too
much hot pipe would make the sand un-
duly warm and you need the beat in the

house. In moderate weather you would
want no heat in the house, but a little in
the sand. For the bottoms of both beds
we used to use common roofing slate.
When firing hard they get too warm and
they even rot. Use a tile, not a drain
tile, but a solid tile about one and a
half inches thick. "We bought them last
year 18x12 inches.

Now, if you can use tee-iron for sup-
ports of these tile, it will be far more
lasting than wood. Use four inches of
sand on the tile and let the surface of
the bed be a good three feet above the
level of the path. You don't want to
be bending your back while putting in
cuttings. Of course the tiles on the
bench for potted plants need only an
inch or less of sand or ashes.

This size house is easily shaded with
cheese cloth suspended with small brass
rings and two wires running lengthwise
of the house on each side, but that's an-
other story and would take too long to
tell, j-et very simple. Unrooted cuttings
and plants for a few days from the
cutting bed want shade when the sun
shines, but more shade than is necessary
to keep them from wilting is an in-
jury.

If you are using steam you will put
that into your propagating house. If
water, you will want to continue, but if
you have neither and are starting, then
by all means use hot water for such a
house as I have described. Eun two
2-inch flows and two 2-inch returns under
each bench and you will need no heating
pipes above the benches. Don't, for
heaven's sake, listen to that fallacy
about running a 2-inch or 3-inch pipe
along under the ridge pole, branching
at the farther end and returning under
the benches. Don 't do it. Far better
to si)end $100 extra in getting your
heater six feet below the level of the
greonliouse floor. Ste;im heat is con-
trolled by valves; it is steam or noth-
ing. Hot water is controlled by the
furnace door and damper.

The ventilation of this houso, if it
runs north and south, which is the better
plan, should be continuous and open at
the ridge. It is far bettor, for cuttings
especially, to have one inch of continuous
ventilation than three inciies in some
places and none in others.

About solid beds. Much as there is to

recommend low, well drained beds for
roses and carnations or anything that
is planted out, don't think of them for
geraniums or our ordinary run of bed-
ding plants.

Now, Mr. Editor, I am egotist enough
to believe I have described an ideal
propagating house, yet if a man is a
gardener he can propagate a whole lot
of tilings, roses, carnations and chrysan-
themums, on any ordinary bench, for in-
stance, a side bench in a carnation house.
Yet for many things it's a comfort to
have a regular propagating house.

HAIL AT SAGINAW.

The accompanying illustration shows
the effect of the hail which struck the
establishment of John B. Goetz, at Sag-
inaw, Mich., July 22. The photograph
shows about one-third of the glass area,
which is about 32,000 square feet. The
entire place was riddled.

The Eoethke Floral Co., not far away,
had sixteen houses in which practically
all the glass was broken. At both places
new houses were added this spring, the
past season having been a most prosper-
ous one. The loss is not alone in glass,
but the young stock was very badly cut
to pieces.

The Florists' Hail Association has had
many heavy losses to pay this season and
has been of prime importance in putting

this case no assistance will come from
that quarter, neither Mr. Goetz nor the
Eoethke Co. being a member.

Sons and others on the east side escaped
unscathed.

THE ORIENTAL POPPY.

The poppies are classed among the
most popular of garden flowers. The
oriental poppy is the longest lived of the
genus and has the largest and most
striking flowers. C. 'S. Harrison, of
York, Neb., says it has lx?en known to
bloom for twenty-five years in Succes-
sion. The plant is fnm two to four
feet in height and the flowers are often
six or seven inches across. The
color was originally scailet, with a black
spot, but since the late eighties a con-
siderable variation in color has been
obtained by crossings and the color now
shades from red to salmon and pale
pink. The black spot on each petal has
in some cases given way to delicate
pencilings and some are unmarked. The
plant has a root like a small parsnip,
which increases to a heavy stool. It is
easily propagated by division or by seed.
T. D. Hatfield, of "Wellesley, Mass., says
that the dividing should be done after
blooming, in late July or August, as
they will then start and make good
growth before freezing weather, flower-
ing well the next season. Mr. Harri-
son says they should be planted in
groups of not less than a dozen, as the
individual flowers last but a few days;
however, new ones come on and keep up
a succession for several weeks.

Vegetable Forcing.

A. W. Crane, East Toledo, O., is
building a greenhouse 50x300 feet for
lettuce and tonaatoes.

The vegetable growers north of Chi-
cago made good money the past season
and many of them are enlarging their
places this summer. Peter Weber, at
Bose Hill, is building seven good sized
houses and five are going up at Charles
Hengisch's place at Sogers Park.

MAKING A HOTBED.

Will you kindly inform me as to the
manner and time, also the sort of ma-
nure and depth, for making a hotbed for
cabbage plants for early spring.

M. F. O'C.

The beginning of March is about the
best time to make a hotbed for the
raising of cabbage plants and similar
subjects for spring. It is not advisable
to do it much before this, as if the
weather was very severe the bed would
hardly maintain sufficient heat to carry
your plants through. Previous to mak-
ing up the bed the material should be
gotten together, thoroughly mixed and
moistened if dry to insure an even heat.
The best material is a mixture of stable
litter and leaves. This will give a less
violent but more lasting heat than if
stable litter alone is used.

The soil in the frame should be ex-
cavated to a depth of about four feet.
This space should be filled up with the
material, which should be firmly packed.
In filling have the material high enough
to allow for settling; it will probably
settle six or eight inches after it gets
thoroughly heated. The sashes should
be placed over the frame to keep oflf snow
and rains but vented a little top and
bottom to allow the steam to escape.
After a few days a covering of about
two inches of soil should be placed
evenly over the heating material to help
concentrate the heat.

It will be too warm to place the seeds
in it at first, but a thermometer should
be placed in the frame and after the bot-
tom heat has receded to about 70 degrees,
which will probably be in about eight
or ten days, the seeds may safely be
sown. The upper temperature can be
regulated by air if the weather is mild
and by covering over the sash if the
weather is severe. A night temperature
of about 65 degrees wiU be high enough
after the seeds are started; higher than
this would make them drawn and
weakly.

I prefer to sow the seeds in flats, using
a rather free but not over rich soil. In
these they are easier to handle when it
comes to the pricking over stage, as the
flats can be removed to some building
where the priciung over can be done into
other flats much easier and with less ex-
pense than if they had to be pricked over
into the frame during the prevalence of
cold, cutting weather.

COPYRIGHT IN NOVELTIES.

The French Society of Rose Grow-
ers has once again started the question
of protection for raisers of novelties.
This is a matter that has often been
discussed without any practical result,
some of those most concerned having ex-
pressed opposite opinions. The raiser
has, to a large extent, control over his
own destinies, and if he does not exer-
cise it he has no one to blame but him-
self. Happily for the world at large,
if not for the individual, it is not every
one who has the commercial instinct. At
the same time every one likes to see
merit adequately rewarded, and dislikes
fo see others reap the advantage they
have not earned. — Gardeners' Chronicle.

INSECT PESTS.

The grower has need to be endowed
with more than the average amount of pa-
tience, for no sooner does he have the
promise of obtaining an exceptionally
good crop than some insect pest puts
in an appearance and makes a stren-
uous effort to share it with him. The
matter of sharing would not, perhaps,
be of great consequence, were it not that
the pest requires the greater part, and in
its endeavors to obtain it completely
ruins the crop unless kept in subjection.

With a full knowledge of the difficulty
of dealing promptly with insect attacks,
we feel it our duty to point out that how-
ever difficult it may be, in the first in-
stance, to adopt repressive measures, the
difficulty in dealing with insect pests is
increased a hundred fold when they are
allowed to become established before any-
thing is done to check them. The golden
rule in all cases is, immediately insect
pests make their appearance, to take
steps for their eradication. To be in a
position to take full advantage of this
rule close observation is necessary, and it
is not less essential to be provided with a

stock of the several preparations known
to be the most effectual in insect destmc-
tion. There should, for instance, be on
hand a liberal supply of such things as
soft soap, quassia and some form of
nicotine ready for use. For the applica-
tion of insecticides a spraying machine
is most economical and efficient. There
should also be at command a liberal sup-
ply of soot and lime for the prevention
of attacks of snails and slugs, which this
season are very plentiful and most de-
structive to vegetable crops in their ear-
lier stages of development. It should
be remembered in this connection that in
keeping pests of all kinds in subjection,
not only are the present crops saved, but
subsequent ones are less likely to suffer
damage. — Gardeners ' Magazine.

CHICAGO.

The Market

The week has brought very little
change with regard to the staple stock
in the market. Roses from old plants
have almost disappeared and the receipts
of young stock show very little increase.
There is still an active demand for the
better grade of goods and all clean roses
are bringing comparatively good prices.
Carnations are scarce. The benches have
practically all been cleared and the out-
door stock is not much in evidence as
yet. What few blooms come in are very
poor. The receipts of asters have shown
the anticipated increase and there are
now large quantities in all wholesale
houses. The quality in general is not
very good and prices are low in conse-
quence. What good stock there is bring*
fair money. Receipts of sweet peas are
again on the increase, but there is fair
sale of this item at moderate prices, as
there is very little else which can be used
in wedding work. The supplies of aura-
tura lilies have increased and gales are

at low rates. There are large quantities
of green goods and, as the demand is very
light, all items in this department show
widely varying values.

Chicago to St. Louis.

There was a well attended special
meeting of the Florists' Club last Thurs-
day evening to discuss the trip to St.
Louis. It was decided to start Monday,
August 15, at about 11 a. m. The ex-
act hour cannot be set until it is known
how many will go; 100 will call for a
special train. Everyone who is going
should notify P. J. Hauswirth, chairman
of committee, 227 Michigan avenue, by
postal card or telephone. This is im-
portant.

Mr. Hauswirth was at St. Louis Sat-
urday and looked into hotel arrange-
ments. There will be plenty of room.
The committee recommended that those
going reserve accommodations at any of
the following:

Hotel St. Nicholas, Eighth and Lo-
cust streets, $2 per day and up, two in a
room.

Hotel Rozier, opposite the convention
hall, $1.50 per day and up, two in a
room.

National Hotel, close to hall, $1 a bed,
two or more beds in a room.

In private houses, by addressing F. M.
Ellis, 1316 Pine street, who will make
all arrangements on request.

street, is adding one house to his estab-
lishment.

The city employes of the Geo. Witt-
bold Company picnicked at the Edge-
brook establishment last Saturday. Both
city stores were closed for the day.

John P. Eisch has returned from a
two weeks' vacation spent in Wisconsin.

J. A. Budlong will have 60,000 carna-
tion plants benched by the end of this
week.

Peter Eeinberg's planting of carna-
tions will not be as heavy this year as
last, more room being given to roses.

The Flower Growers ' Market has made
a three years' lease from May 1, 1905, on
its present quarters, at 58 and 60 Wabash
avenue. The agents for the jiroperty say
there is no intention of rebuilding.

C. M. Dickinson was downtown Tues-
day for the first time after a week's ill-
ness.

NEW BEDFORD. MASS.

Except for an occasional funeral da-
sign, business is almost at a standstill.
We are probably not as slack as our
nearby city, Fall River, with its cotton
mills ' strike. Our mills here are running
on short time, but that is better than
having them closed up all together.

The Florists' Club held its first out-
ing at Sylvan Grove July 22 and had a
first-class time. Lester Mann, of Mann
Bros., of Randolph, and Wm. Anderson,
of Anderson & Williams, of Waltham,
were guests of the club. After partak-
ing of a first-class clam bake with all
the "fixins, " there was the baseball
game between the greenhouse and store
teams. The hardest task was to find an
umpire. We tried to get "Bill" Ander-
son to officiate, but he said that he had
promised Mrs. Anderson that he would
come home safe and sound and would
not take any chances. Covill and Gif-
ford were the batteries for the store
team and Bly and Flynn for the green-
house men. The store men won the game
in ten innings, with a score of 16 to 15,
Wm. C. Peirce making a fine two base hit
with a man on second base, winning the
game. Both pitchers pitched a fine game,
Covill striking out twelve men. Special
features of the game were a fine catch
of a fly ball by Borden, of the store
team, in the first half of the tenth in-
ning, with three men on bases, and the
kicking of Bly, of the greenhouse team.

The second annual fall exhibition of
the New Bedford Horticultural Society
will be held September 15 to 17. It is
expected that there will be the finest
display of dahlias ever exhibited in
southeastern Massachusetts. Henry C.
Denison has donated two silver cops for
dahlias, one for the open class for sixty
varieties and one for the amateur class
for thirty varieties, and great interest is
shown. C.

Various Notes.

John Lang, who has for many years
been in business at Eobey and Melrose
streets, has sold his stock and leased his
greenhouses for five years to Peter Rein-
berger. Mr. Lang has accumulated a
modest competence since he has been in
business at this stand and will go to
Europe in a week or two for a protracted
visit. Mr. Reinberger has been in busi-
ness in leased houses for several years
and is well liked. His new place con-
sists of seven houses, largely in bedding
stock, chrysanthemums and carnations.

There was considerable hail southwest
of town last Wednesday. About 300
lights of glass were broken in the green-
houses of Mount Greenwood cemetery and
bedding plants were badly cut to pieces.
West of there the hail was much heavier
and the market gardeners lost practically
all their stock.

BOSTON.

The Market.

Supplies have been comparatively light
•during the past week, and stock has
/generally cleared out well. Particularly
•was this the case on July 30, when no
flowers remained in the market. Eoses
are not plentiful. Best Beauties bring
-•$2 per dozen. Anderson and Christensen
■are sending in some nice stock of these.
Asters are more abundant but have sold
well, especially whites, which have been
in short supply at 75 cents to $1 per 100.
:Sweet peas are becoming poor and spot-
ted and will not now cut much figure.
Lily of the valley sells well at from $4
to $6 per 100. Gladioli are in good sup-
ply at $3 to $8 per 100, white shades
bringing the higher price. White flowers
■of all sorts have been decidedly scarce
■during the past week.

Indoor carnations are now wretchedly
-small and will soon be a thing of the
-past. Some good outdoor-grown flowers
are now coming in, however. The best
bring $2 per 100. The Queen, white, and
:Saxon, scarlet, seem to take the lead.

Weekly Exhibition.

Although there was only one competi-
tive class for cut flowers at Horticultural
Hall on July 30 the lecture hall was com-
'j)letely filled with exhibits. For thirty
varieties of hardy herbaceous perennials
there were four fine collections staged
and competition was close. Eventually
the prizes went to Carl Blomberg, Walter
Hunnewell, T. D. Hatfield, gardener, and
Bay State Nurseries, W. H. Wyman, pro-
prietor. Eobert Cameron again staged,
but not for competition, a very extensive
collection of perennials. Blue Hill
Nurseries showed a grand collection of
herbaceous phlox in fifty varieties, also
some fine seedlings. A few of the best
sorts noted were Blue Hill, Le Mahdi,
Evenement, Coquelicot, General Chanzy,
Lununeux, Esperance, La Candeur, Le
Cygne, Amphitryon, Cameron and Lord
Rayleigh. He also exhibited the apricot
-colored Lilium Batmannioe.

Peter Cairns had a nice collection of
hollyhocks. Mrs. L. Towle, a table of
fine sweet peas and dahlias, the latter the
first of the season. W. Whitman had a
large display of perennials and annuals,
as had Mrs. E. M. Gill. L. H. Atkins
liad a display made interesting from the

fact that it was from a congested city
yard, where conditions were of the worst,
cats being classed as about the greatest
stumbling block in the way of success.
The display included Shirley poppies,
hollyhocks and a general assortment of
biennials and annuals, a fine illustration
of what may be accomplished under ad-
verse conditions.

Vegetables again were finely shown and
the fruit exhibits included the first out-
door grown apricots, peaches, apples and
pears of the season. As usual the Boston
Mycological Club had a fine collection of
fungi.

Various Notes.

J. F. Free, better known as ' ' Joe, ' ' of
the Columbus avenue market, waa married
on July 26 to Miss Welch, of Charles-
town. The boys in the market remem-
bered Joe with a purse of gold, and his
many friends there and elsewhere wish
him much joy.

William H. Elliott is sending some
very fine Kaiserin roses to the market.
These sell on sight.

The white gladioli from W. W. Edgar
are bringing top notch prices.

Alexander Montgomery is sending in
first-class valley from the Waban Kose
Conservatories and has the market largely
to himself at present.

At the Taunton greenhouse, Willard &
Williams continue to make improvements
in their plant and report a steadily in-
creasing trade. They have 8,000 chrys-
anthemums benched and are just prepar-
ing to house an equal number of carna-
tions. Stock in the field looks first class.
We noted a long beneh of Nephrolepis
Piersoni in fine condition. Mr. Willard
says this is a capital seller. Here, as
elsewhere, benched plants show a tenden-
cy to revert to the type.

At W. J. Clemson's estate in Taunton,
Oscar Kristenson had his herbaceous
perennial borders in fine condition.
Sweet peas were here eight feet high and
loaded with bloom. In hardy clunbing
roses. Lady Qay, Farquhar and Crimson
Rambler were the most attractive. In
one of the greenhouses single stem chrys-
anthemums looked well.

William C. Winter, of Mansfield, is
one of the oldest and most successful
florists near Boston. He has been lo-
cated in Mansfield for forty years, and
has a nice, compact plant of 12,000 feet.
A house of grapes 24x103 containing

Black Hamburg and Muscat of Alezan-
dria had been heavily cut from, but what
remained were large, finely finished
bunches. Mr. Winter, however, states
that the demand for even such fine grapes
as he raises is very uncertain and prices
not at all remunerative. One house
which had contained grapes was planted
to other stock. Mr. Winter sells most of
his fruit in New York. If such fruit as
he has this season is hard to sell, the out- *
look for commercial fruit growing would
seem to be anything but roseate. Cu-
cumbers are grown to a considerable ex-
tent here. Present prices of 75 cents
per bushel, compared with $2.50 a year
ago, are not very encouraging.

Mansfield is becoming a famous cu-
cumber center. Half a dozen establish-
ments of large size are now located there
and one or two new ones are under way.
Fruit is shipped to New York and Bos-
ton, chiefly to the former city.

Everywhere one goes indications are
to be seen of the increasing popularity of
the dahlia in this section. The cactus
varieties are the most popular. Wm. C.
Winter grows a large stock of all the
best varieties and does a heavy spring
trade in them. He finds much better
profits in these than in other branches of
his profession.

The E. S. Converse estate in Maiden is
well known to Boston horticulturists. D.
F. Roy has been superintendent here for
sixteen years. He is a frequent and suc-
cessful exhibitor in New York and Bos-
ton and usually has something good to
show visitors. Specimen chrysanthemum
plants at present look splendid and will
be hard to beat at Horticultural Hall
next November. Pompons, anemones and
singles are given special attention here.
Single stems were very vigorous. Stove
and greenhouse plants in variety, cycla-
mens, roses and other stock looked well.
A new house was being built for carna-
tions and melons. Several divisions are
alloted to fruit, about 150 feet run be-
ing given to grapes.

Mr. Roy has recently been appointed
superintendent of Pine Bank park. Mai-
den, a picturesque spot of 100 acres, and
cares for this in addition to the Converse
estate. He at present has a tremendous
task before him in fighting the gypsy
moth, which is here at present in count-
less millions. We noted scores of mag-
nificent white pines without a needle.

having been eaten for two successive
years. These are now dead. Deciduous
trees of all kinds are eaten bare in some
parts. A big fight will be put up to
keep them in check, but the task seems u
tremendous one for local authorities to
tackle. Stretches of woodland in other
parts of Maiden and Medford were as
bare as though a forest fire had swept
them.

At General Samuel C. Lawrence 's large
estate in Medford are probably the finest
specimens of hydrangea to be found in
this state. Plants nine feet high and as
much across covered with bloom, are dot-
ted about the lawns. A finely construct-
ed and roomy pit is used as a storehouse
for these in winter. Standard lantanas
and Hibiscus Rosa-Sinensis were used to
good effect in the flower beds. A large
house of finely grown chrysanthemums in
pots and a capital lot of single stem
plants were noted. A house of crotons
showed excellent culture, as did a batch
of dipladenias, which included some very
desirable seedlings. Cinerarias were al-
ready in 8-inch pots and may need tubs
ere spring. Carnations are popular and
William Keith, the able and respected
superintendent, showed us numerous seed-
lings in various stages. It has cost Gen-
eral Lawrence many thousands of dollars
to fight the gypsy moth on his estate,
and but for his efforts the destruction in
Medford would be far more widespread
than it is.

Indications at this date do not point
to a large delegation to the St. Louis
convention.

August 6 will be perennial phlox day
at Horticultural Hall. A fine display is
assured.

Superintendent Doogue is preparing a
fine display in the Public Gardens for
Grand Army encampment week, the third
week in August. The last G. A. R.
gathering in Boston was in 1890. Car-
pet bedding was then more popular than
at present. W. N. Craig.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Business is very slow just now. Somf
of the boys report quite a lot of funeral
work, but that is about all that is going
on at present. The wholesalers report
plenty of stock of all kinds, but deal-
ers are buying only in small lots, just
to carry them for one day. Most of

the stock that comes in is of exceedingly
poor quality and especially so with car-
nations. For these the demand is good,
but it is very hard to obtain good stock.
Roses are very plentiful, but more are
dumped than are sold just now. Asters,
too, are a glut; only white are sell-
ing.. The colored sorts are piled up by
the thousands at the commission houses.
Gladioli are also a drug, as in fact is all
outdoor stuff. The least said about the
cut flower market at this time the bet-

ter.

Convention Notes.

The members of the Florists' Club
should not forget the meeting next
Thursday afternoon, August 11. This
is the most important meeting of the
year. At this meeting all the commit-
tee badges will be given the members,
also the souvenir book. It will be nec-
essary for each member to have a badge
in order to partake in the entertainment
and proceedings of the convention. It
has been decided that no badge or book
will be sent to any of the local club
members by mail. The meeting will
open promptly at 2 o'clock, as officers
are to be elected and more than the usual
amount of business transacted, as only
four days are left before the opening of
the S. A. F. convention.

President Breitmeyer, of Detroit, and
P. J. Hauswirth, of Chicago, spent Sat-
urday and Sunday in St. Louis. On
Saturday morning they visited the con-
vention and exhibition halls, where a big
force of carpenters was at work erecting
tables and benches for the exhibitors,
which very much pleased the president.
In the afternoon both gentlemen visitea
the World's Fair. Sunday was taken up
with inspection of hotels and the bowl-
ing alleys. At the latter place, a meet-
ing of the bowling and shooting commit-
tees was held, after which both left for
home, satisfied that great things are in
store for the delegates and the conven-
tion will be a great success.

Mr. Kern, the proprietor of the Pal-
ace alleys, where the convention bowl-
ing contest will take place, says he will
put the twelve alleys in fine shape. The
large sitting room in the front of the
alleys will be handsomely decorated for
the occasion. There is plenty of room
for all visitors to view the contest. As
was decided at Milwaukee, the contest
will be governed by the rules of the
American Bowling Congress, of which

Palace Bowling Alley, 2200 Franklin Ave., St. Louis.

(Where the S. A. F. Conveniioa contestn will be rolled. There Is another set of six alleys

on ihe floor below.)

Samuel Knopf, of Dayton, 0., is secre-
tary, who will be here in person during
the bowling. The boys can bring their
loaded balls this year, but the weight
must not be over sixteen and one-half
pounds.

Superintendent Kuehn, of the trade
display, reports that he has a surprise
in store for the S. A. F. members in the
turtle exhibit, in which 1,500 turtles
will take part. Don't fail to see it, as
you are entitled to one to take home as
a souvenir.

The hotel committee, in charge of
Frank Ellis, has prepared a list of all
the prominent hotels and private rooms
for those who have not made arrange-
ments ahead. These will be presented
to the delegates as they arrive at the
station. Those who wish to be close to
the convention hall should arrange with
the Hotel Rozier, across the way from
the hall; the Hotel Jefferson, one block
away; the International, 1312 Wash-
ington avenue, a block from the hall, or
the Merchants, at Twelfth and Olive
streets. There are plenty of good ac-
commodations for everybody at reason-
able rates.

Sergeant at Arms Pilcher is now in
training at Kirkwood for his duties dur-
ing the convention. The members will
find in Mr. Klcher a very lal-ge and
powerful man, very polite and agreeable
to all, but not very easy to handle.

State Vice-president Juengel has
proved himself a hustler for the S. A.
F. He haa rounded up a lot of new
members for the society. He reports
that he will have another batch of
names by the next meeting of the local
club next Thursday.

The local sport committee met on Sun-
day afternoon at the Palace Bowling .^-
leys, with President Breitmeyer of the
S. A. F. and the next president (so far
as St. Louis is concerned), Phil. J. Haus-
wirth, of Chicago. This meeting was
held for the purpose of arranging for
the prizes for the bowling and shooting
during the convention. Everything was
satisfactorily arranged in short order
and President Breitmeyer is more than
[pleased with all arrangements and
the harmonious way our boys are
working, and he could see nothing but
good times before the members when
they come to spend a week in St. Louis.
Mr. Breitmeyer especially spoke well of
the , hotel committee in the way they are
handling the work, an office having been
fitted up at the convention hall where
5,000 visitors can be accommodated with
rooms in any part of the city and at
any price, with guides in waiting to
take them to these rooms or hotels.

Those who attended the meeting of
the local committee were: Carl Beyer,
F. C. Weber, C. A. Kuehn, F. H. Mein-
hardt. Otto G. Koenig, Charles Juengel,
Theo. Miller, F. M. Ellis, A. Y. Ellison
and J. J. Beneke. After the meeting a
few games were bowled, in which Presi-
dent Breitmeyer and Phil Hauswirth
made some great scores.

Nearly a hundred cases of display
goods have arrived at the convention hall
in care of Superintendent Kuehn. Every-
thing will be in readiness by the end
of the week in the exhibition hall for
the exhibitors to place their goods.

Visitors: H. Currie, of Ourrie Bros.,
Milwaukee, Wis., and Wm. F. Zane and
son, of Wheeling, W. Va.

NEW YORK.

The Market

The week opened with floods of rain
and floods of gladioli and asters. The
best stock brings a fairly good price in
small quantities, but the buyer who can
use large lots can make las own prices.
I saw 3,000 offered for $10! The regu-
lar rate is TO cents per 100 and this
will be tEe prevailing figure for weeks
to come. Occasionally 2 cents and even
3 cents has been asked for selected stock
and colors of the new varieties. Good
asters seehi to be in fair demand at en-
couraging prices, but ordinary stock is
not wanted and cannot be disposed ox.

The new roses are arriving in larger
quantities daily, but in most cases qual
ity is sadly lacking. The best Beauties
and Brides command even better rates
than the quoted prices, and none are left
unsold. Dahlias have only just arrived
and go freely. Sweet peas are about out
of the running. Business is exceedingly
dull and no indications of a revival are
yet in evidence. Another month will see
the clouds dissipated and the premoni-
tory evidences of a return to life.

Various Notes.

B. Suzuki, of Suzuki & lida, arrived
safely at Yokohama and Chas. Loechner,
of the same house, has returned from his
European trip, which he has devoted the
last three months to his firm's interests.
Messrs. Suzuki & lida are introducing
Japanese grown freesias, finding a good
demand for them.

The convention is so near that it be-
comes a more interesting topic daily.
The New York delegation, it is hoped,
will be worthy of the city. A lesser num-
ber than fifty would hardly be creditable
to the greatest floricultural center in the
world. It is hard to understand, with
the added attraction of the World's
Fair, how anyone with the time and
reasonable cost to spare, can afford to
stay away. St. Louis has had ideal tem-
perature this year. Every preparation
has been made for the comfort of the
florists while there, and I predict the
greatest meeting the society has ever en-
joyed.

As to 1905, the east is entitled to fa

vor, as the south and west and north
have been remembered since 1901. This
seems to be the era of the young man
and it is rumored that this year another
young Lochinvar will come out of the
west, a young man of universal populari-
ty, whose executive ability is conceded
and whose devotion to the enjoyment of
the members of the S. A. F. at the annual
gatherings has been constant.

The New Yorkers will leave for St.
Louis on Sunday, August 14, at 10 a. m.,
from the Liberty street station of the
Baltimore & Ohio, arriving in the Fair
city at 6 o 'clock on Monday evening. Mr.
O'Mara is chairman of the transporta-
tion committee and all who intend to go
should notify him at once so that com-
plete arrangements for their comfort
may be made. From present indications
the bowling team will include Messrs.
Lang, Traendly, O'Mara, Siebrecht and
Guttman, a good team with a capable av-
erage of 150, if the nerve supply does
not become exhausted.

A. J. Fellouris, the green goods man,
is visiting his customers as far west as
Chicago and will end his trip among his
growers and shippers in North Carolina
and Virginia.

Last Monday, at the Church of the Sa-
cred Heart, Bay Shore, Miss Ida Millang
was married to William Kelley, of Long
Island City. The young lady has been
associated with her brother, August, in
his retail florists' business and the trade
extends hearty good wishes and congrat-
ulations. The happy couple are enjoying
their honeymoon in the Catskills.

James Hammond, the wholesaler of
West Thirtieth street, is enjoying his
holidays with his family at Monticello,
N. Y.

William Ford, of Ford Bros. ,is resting
a week with his family at Rockaway be-
fore the serious recreations of his fishing
trip at Barnegat.

Miss Foran, bookkeeper for the New
York Cut Flower Company, leaves for her
holidays next week and will rest amid
familiar scenes at her old home near
Quebec, Canada.

H. H. Berger & Co. report their Har-
risii in good shape, as well as oxalis and
freesia. Their importations of French
stocks are due this week.

John Lewis Childs, of Floral Park,
will have a grand exhibition of gladioli
at the Eden Musee August 15 to 21. The
Musee has been the scene of many a
floricultural display and this will be made
as extensive and popular as any. The
exhibition is practically free, as no ad-
vance in prices has been made by the
management,

F. H. Traendly and Mrs. Traendly
will leave for St. Louis a week in ad-
vance of the i^ew York contingent and
devote some days to sight-seeing at the
Fair.

Mrs. Weigert, wife of M. Weigert, of
709 Ninth avenue, died on Thursday of
last week after an operation for appen-
dicitis. The deceased had several rela-
tives connected with the florists' busi-
ness in New York and many handsome
designs in flowers were sent to the
funeral.

Jas. McManus reports a steady daily
demand for orchids and is handling at
present sixteen popular varieties, some
especially fine sprays of Oncidium va- .
ricosum among them, commanding top
figures. Prices range from 15 cents tc
75 cents.

Frank Good, with Jos. Fenrich, has re-
turned from Boston, where he attended
the funeral of his mother on Thursday.
His friends extend their sympathy.

Very many of the florists this season
have adopted the commendable and
sensible plan of locating at resorts with-

Vlce-Pres., C. L. Watrous. Des Motneb; Sec'y,
Geo. C. Seager, BocheBter; Treaa., C. Li. Yates,
Rochester. The 29th annual convention will be
held at West Baden, Ind., June, ltl05.

Nurseries in western New York are
finding this a much better growing sea-
son than that of 1903.

W. F. Heiees is spending the summer
at St. Louis and is one of the judges
on fruits at the exposition.

The Chicago Tree Planting Society
proposes to hold a conference in the a.n-
tumn on the subject of tree planting in
the city.

The Aurora Nursery Co., Aurora, III.,
will shortly put up a good sized range
of greenhouses. John Brick is propaga-
tor there.

The Forest Nursery and Seed Com-
pany, Irving College, Tenn., is successor
to J. H. H. Boyd, of Gage, and Perry
Bros., of Irving College.

The nurseryman who doesn't grow
peonies is omitting a profitable item.
The best sorts are no more expensive to
grow than common stuff.

A new enterprise is the Millsdale
Nursery, of Greenville, S. C. The capi-
tal is $5,000 and the officers are C. H.
Croskeys, president; M. L. Berry, vice-
president, and J. N. Holland, secretary.

One of the best trees for city use is
the rapid-growing ailanthus, or tree of
heaven, although there are those who say
its flowers smell like the other place.
However, the odor of the bloom on the
seed bearing form is not offensive and it
thrives in poor soils and under conditions
which few trees will endure.

Le Grande, Ore.— C. Plant, of the Le
Grande Nurseries, has a new and distinct
variety of box elder which from its
color he calls the blue box elder. It
grows rapidly, very straight and the
bark, which is very smooth, is a decided
blue. The leaves are very large. The
variety, growing near the ordinary type,
never fails to attract the attention of
visitors.

THRIPS ON SMILAX,

We are troubled to death with a lit-
tle black bug which destroys our smilax.
Will someone kindly tell us what it is
and how to get rid of itf S. F. C.

The little black bug referred to in
this query is probably thrips, an insect
that is capable of doing great damage to
a smilax bed in a very short time unless
measures are taken for its extermination,
and one that spreads very rapidly dur-
ing warm weather. The most effective
remedy for this insect is found in the
fumes of nicotine, this being applied
either by vaporizing some one of the
nicotine solutions in the house iu ques-
tion, or by fumigating with Aphis Punk,
the latter being the easiest and most
convenient method of applying the nico-
tine. Thrips may be overcome by sev-
eral fumigations with tobacco stems or
snuff, but strong tobacco smoke is likely
to scorch the tender tips of the smilax,
whereas the Aphis Punk is not liable to

harm the plants. I would use six rolls
of the punk to a house 20x100 feet and
repeat the dose two or three times on
successive evenings if the weather was
favorable. Such a quantity of this
preparation will not harm Boston ferns,
so it is not probable that it will do any
injury to the smilax. The first appli-
cation of the punk will cause a number
of the insects to drop to the ground,
and unless they are followed up with
successive doses they will soon crawl up
and resume business at the old stand.

THE YOUNGEST FLORIST.

We desire to ask a question through
the BevieWi: What is the age of the
youngest florist in the craft! We re-
fer to those owning and managing a
business, not to employes.

H. & C.

Perhaps some reader may be able to
give light on this point but there are so
many young men engaged in the business
that it is impossible to state without
fear of contradiction who is the young-
est; indeed, the youngest today might
not be the youngest tomorrow for, de-
spite the cry so often raised that our
trade is not attractive to those just em-
barking on the sea of business, yet
ours is rapidly becoming a young man's
craft. Competition is ^coming as keen
in our line as in any other, with the
result that the successful ones are re-
quired to lead what would be called a
strenuous life in comparison to that
of many a successful florist of even a
decade ago. However we regret their
passing, and we shall never cease to
revere the many grand old men of our
profession, still it is to the young men
we look to do the hustling.

While it is not intended to cite the fol-
lowing as the youngest men in the trade,
still the conspicuous successes which they
have achieved warrants note of Leo Nies-
sen, of Philadelphia, as an example of
the young man in the commission busi-
ness and of the Wittbolds, in Chicago,
combining plant growing, wholesaling
and retailing. It is true that the latter,
the brothers all young men, built on the
foundation which their father was years
in laying and still have the benefit of
the advice of that fine old plantsman, but
the results of their youthful enthusiasm
have been none the less apparent for
all that. Ages are like white folks ac-
cording to the darkie, "mighty on-
sartin, " but we know of no young-
er wholesale cut flower dealer th-iii
Mr. Niessen, not yet 27, certainly
there is no one of his years who
has been so long handling cut flowers
on commission, for he began in a small
way in 1895, and few who have been
more steadily successful. Peter Weiland,
of New Castle and Cincinnati, just
turned 27, has 100,000 feet of glass and
is well pleased with his start in the whole-
sale way.

We shall be pleased to hear of othf-r
young men of the trade.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

Asters, carnations and valley are the
principal cut flowers of the week, outside
of roses. There are a good many sales
of these flowers, chiefly in small lots.
None of them are really plentiful. This
is particularly true of valley, which is
scarce at times. Carnations have been
re-enforced by Mrs. Fisher from the field,
very short in stem, as a rule, but very
welcome. Gladioli are plentiful but they
are not easy to sell in any quantity. It
is getting too hot for sweet peas.

The Florists' Qub.

David Bust presided over a well at-
tended meeting of the Florists' Club on
Tuesday evening. The Conard & Jones
Co., West Grove, Pa., showed seven va-
rieties of improved cannas, and Antoine
Wintzer, who has made a special study of
canna hybridization for the past decade,
gave an interesting address on what has
been accomplished, showing that America
is outstripping France in this work.
John A. Shellem exhibited four vases of
beautiful hardy phlox.

After a lively debate the club reversed
its action of last May and decided to put
a representative bowling team in the field
at St. Louis. A new series of games will
be started at once.

The committee on transportation has
arranged that the members take the 8:25
p. m, train from Broad street station on
Sunday, August 14, reaching St. Louis
at 9:40 p. m. Monday. The excursion
ticket costs $24.75, sleeping car berths
extra. Kefreshments will be served in
the train under the supervision of John
"Westcott. You know what that means.
Members who have not already sent in
their names to President John Westcott,
Eidge and Lehigh avenues, should do so
at once to enable the committee to ar-
range for all who are going.

Flow^er Market.
The following notice has been sent out :
To the stockholders of the Philadelphia
Wholesale Flower Market: By the au-
thority vested ip me by the constitution
and by-laws of the Philadelphia Whole-
sale Flower Market, I deem it my duty
to call a special meeting of the stock-
holders of above company for Friday,
August 12, 1904, at 2 p. m.. to take ac-
tion concerning the future of the Flower

Market and consider the advisability of
changing quarters, as we have an oppor-
tunity of disposing of our lease, which
does not expire until July, 1906.

Wm. K. Harris, President.
This meeting is important and every
stockholder is urged to be present.

A Visitor.

Last Saturday Arthur Cowee, of Mead-
owvale Farm, Berlin, N. Y., visited
Philadelphia. Mr. Cowee has made a
specialty of gladioli. Some of his fig-
ures show what wonderful progress he
has made with his specialty. This year
he has 100 acres planted in gladioli and
expects to increase last year's harvest of
10,000 bushels of bulbs to 16,000 bushels.
He is now cutting from his early planted
bulbs. When in full crop 40,000 spikes
of flowers daily will, he thinks, be a
fair estimate of the cut. Mr. Cowee
has a large number of gladioli planted
out at the St. Louis Fair. This planting
furnishes the flowers for a show table,
which is kept in good condition by re-
placing the faded flowers with fresh
ones.

Various Notes.

Godfrey Aschmann is rebuilding two
greenhouses on his place at 1012 Ontario
street.

The Henry F. Michell Co. are greatly
pleased with the high quality of their
Lilium Harrisii now arriving. The bulbs
are plump, sound and of the deep rich
yellow color so dear to the heart of the
expert bulb grower. Of 100 cases re-
ceived in one shipment, eighty-eight went
out the next day.

Herbert G. Tull, of the firm of Henry
A. Dreer, is spending his vacation at his
boyhood's home in North Carolina.

W. J. Sherry, with Johnson & Stokes,
is spending ten days of his vacation
among the seed growers near Toronto,
Canada.

Henry C. Geiger, of the Floral Ex-
change, is at Mt. Pocono.

Frank S. Jackson, manager of the
Thornhedge Greenhouses, has a fine lot
of Adiantum Farleyense.

Carl Jurgens, of Newport, E. I., con-
tinues sending good shipments of fine
Kaiserins and Beauties to Leo Niessen.
Over one-third of the latter have stems of
thirty inches in length.

Charles E. Meehan has just brought
his family home from Ocean City, N. J.

Fred J. Michell is going to the St.
Louis convention.

Samuel S. Pennock paid a flying visit
to Westerly, R. L, home of the carnation^
this week.

The corporations find that Edward
Eeid, with all his geniality and humor,
is not a man to be trifled with. He
knows his rights and cannot be jollied
out of them.

Theodore Edwards, of Bridgeton, N. J.,
is sending fine valley to William J.
Baker.

John Burton is sending some fine Lib-
erties from second-year plants tc the
Flower Market.

Frank Hastings, of F. & H. Mergen-
thaler, is carrying nice Kaiserins and
Maids.

M. Eice & Co. have put a fine new
wagon on the street; this makes two.

Wm. Muth, with C. F. Edgar & Co.,
is back from his vacation, tull of life
and spirits, ready for the coming cam-
paign.

Berger Bros, are laying plans to be
pushed with a will next fall.

Edward Towill, of Eoslyn, should be
heard from with Liberties next season.

H. Bayersdorfer returned last Tues-
day, well and hearty. He promises some
grand novelties for the convention.

Eobert H. Class and wife have re-
turned from Atlantic City.

Rural Notes.

The boss was away and the truck
patch hot, so Phil McLean and Willie
Knox went to the phone. Phil called
up his girl at the store and introduced
Willie to her and then to her sister, and
they all agreed to get "I scream" that
evening. The boys were for soda. They
knew it was less expensive and said it
was more refined, but the girls wouldn't
agree. A pretty girl does look prettier
sucking soda through a straw than lick-
ing "I scream" off a paper.

Willie Eobinson got another job and
lost it same day. It was so hot pulling
weeds in the rose house that he told
the boss he felt sick and wanted to go
to the doctor. The boss looked thought-
fully at the little bottle of earth worms
that was bulging out of Willie's pocket
and said to go by way of the creek and
not to hurrj'. Phil.

The Eeview has been of great benefit
to us. — W. H. Newman, Akron, N. Y.

PACIFIC COAST.

Santa Cruz, Cal. — A. Mitting, of the
California Carnation Co., Loomis, Cal.,
is here with his family for the summer,
and all are greatly enjoying the sea
breezes.

SHIPPING HOLLY.

Will some one who has had experience
in shipping hoily kindly illuminate our
darkness? Holly grows extremely well
in the neighborhood of Victoria, B. C.
Every Christmas larg^ quantities are
shipped to San. Francisco and other
Pacific coast points. The holly is
packed in barrels and covered with an
old sack tacked on. We pack twenty-
five to thirty pounds in a barrel, ac-
cording to the amount of berries. Last
Christmas we had an unpleasant ex-
perience. Of four barrels cut from the
same tree, on the same day, two had lost
every leaf on arrival at San Tranciseo.
The journey takes about three days by
steamer. In another shipment of nine
barrels two more were spoiled from the
same cause. The consignee wrote us that
"fully half the holly arriving in San
Francisco last Christmas was a total
loss." Of four barrels sent to Seattle,
only six hours by boat, two also were
spoiled. This is the first mishap we havo
had in four years and we are completely
puzzled. Most of the holly was cut and
packed wet, but this should not have any
effect on the leaves, as it is generally
raining about that time and we always
have to cut and ship in that state. We
always ship as soon as possible after cut-
ting. We have taken the matter up
with the steamship companies but they
can throw no light on the subject,
neither can the consignees. Any sugges-
tions will be thankfully received.

E, A. Wallace.

COAST CONDITIONS.

I have during the past month met a
half dozen gardeners, recent arrivals
from various eastern states, who were
thinking of locating in the neighborhood
of San Francisco, in the business of
raising cut flowers for market. In my
conversations with them J found them
generally men with many years' experi-
ence in growing and, as I am often asked
for an opinion as to the prospects of
building up a lucrative trade hfre, I
think a few words as to how we are sit-
uated may be of interest.

The season just ended showed more
than ever that we have a much greater
demand for fancy stock of almost all
kinds than we are producing. New
houses and new soil have a marked habit
of well satisfying the grower, both as
to quantity and quality, but after the
third year it is a much more diflScult
proposition to cut the same quantity
of fancy stock, even with far more at-
tention to detail, and it is a fact that
many growers do not bring into market
the goods that at one time gave them
the reputation of handling only first-
class stock. Nature has been so lavish
with her natural gifts to Californiana
that the ordinary flower grower in time
gets careless and he spends too little of
his time in reglazing, whitewashing and
fumigating and too much in kicking
about the prices his products bring.

Growers do not specialize enough. I

CALIFORNIA CARNATION CO., LOOMIS, CAL.

Mmtlon The RcTlew wb*ii yon write.

have met many during my years of ex-
perience and observation who seemed to
have a peculiar ability to handle cer-
tain kinds of stock. Whether it was
that their houses or their situations were
particularly suited to that special kind
of rose or carnation, or whether the
grower had the knack of handling the
article right, it is not always possible
to tell; generally it is a happy com-
bination of all three conditions, I sup-
pose. I have known many growers who
come under this head, who, not being
satisfied with a handsome return for
their outlay of time and trouble, have
branched out into a general line of
greenhouse stock, with the result that
they passed over to the list of "has
beens. ' '

I think a good test of a grower's abil-
ity is to give him a couple of houses of
Beauties to handle for a couple of years.
I have noticed that the man who is suc-
cessful with this queen of roses can gen-
erally be relied on to handle almost any-
thing else. Eternal vigilance is neces-
sary, even in this land of sunshine, to
grow paying crops, and many a grower
who started in with a half dozen houses
of roses finally drifted into carnations
and other easier handled stock. But
fancy stock, even at this time of the
year, is in good demand at fair prices,
with little of it to be had considering
the acreage of glass hereabouts. Good
rosea are scarce and I am afraid they al-
ways will be. Fancy carnations are never
over-plentiful and there is a greater mar-
ket now than ever.

Orchid growing is still in its infancy
here and offers a rich field to the suc-
cessful man. With outdoor hardy stock
the Chinese and Japs have largely mo-
nopolized it, except the violet, and that
is a money maker under the right con-
ditions. With ferns, asparagus and
other green stuff, I think we are well
supplied; many houses that originally
were devoted to more difficult Btock have
been filled up with ferns, palms and gen-
eral house plants, all of which are fair
paying crops.

I have met many eastern growers who
have come to California during the past
few years, men well up in the profes-
sion in their own localities, who made a
dismal failure here. There is usually
but one reason for it. It is because our
conditions are so different from those
anywhere elpe that the grower, no mat-
ter how well he may be acquainted with
his business, makes a flat failure when in
business for himself.

My advice to eastern greenhouse men
who intend to settle in California and
raise cut flowers for market is to serve
a year at least in some of our large com-

merclal places so as to get "on to the
ropes." I might add in conclusion that
we do not have weather here that reg-
isters 20 degrees below zero, nor do we
grow violets, mignonette or callas under
glass, and the grower who is used to
these conditions and the growing of
these articles will leave all that behind
him when he comes to California. G.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

Cool weather still stays with us and
we are beginning to think we will have
no summer before October or November,
which are sometimes our warmest
months. Flowers of all kinds are plen-
tiful and trade is about the same as it
has been for the past few weeks, rather
dull. Funeral work comes in very handy
at times and an occasional wedding or-
der is not to be despised. Album and
rubrum lilies are more plentiful and are
good sellers. Kaiserin is the best white
rose now and some very good ones are
shown. Carnations are in good supply
acd of good quality. Asters are daily
getting more plentiful and are eagerly
bought up by the stores, but we have
only the smaller flowers offered as yet.
Outdoor stock of all kinds is very plenti-
ful and cheap.

Sievers & Co. shows everything wearing
a prosperous appearance. Three large
carnation houses have just been planted
and two more will be ready in a. few
weeks to fill with young stock. This firm
propagates its own stock and it all looks
healthy and vigorous. One house is de-
voted to double tuberous rooted begonias
and the show at present is well worth a
visit. It is probably the largest and fin-
est assortment in California, Several
houses are devoted to palms and ferns,
and two to orchids. Adiantum Wil-
liams! is grown here in large quantities
as well as a general stock of other ferns
and house plants. The kentias are the
largest ever shown here and everything is
brought up to the highest point of cul-
tivation.

Henry Peyton has leased a portion of
the ground formerly used for bulb grow-
ing by W. W. Saunders, at Golden Gate.
He will devote the place to the culture of
frecsias. narcissi and callas.

E. Gill, of West Berkeley, has com-
menced budding roses. He has thirty-
five acres of young stock for the com-
ing year, devoted entirely to roses. About
a half million plants are growing in this
division of his nurseries.

J. H. Gilmore, formerly of Menlo
Park and Elmhurst, is at present with
the Whittlesey Floral Gardens of Los
Angeles.

r, Ludemann, of the Pacific Nursery,
is digging many thousands of callas at
present, for which he reports a good de-
mand, and also shipping large quantities
of young araucarias to various eastern
points.

The engagement is announced by Chaa.

FUEL OIL.

I am in a locality where soft coal
smoke is very offensive to the neighbors.
I have a brick arched, return flue tubular
boiler, and would like to hear from some
one who has had experience with fuel oil,
?.s to how effective it is and how the cost
compares with soft coal at $2.60 per ton.

W. F. J.

During the coaJ famine of the winter of
1902-03 some factories as well as flor-
ists experimented with oil as fuel. So
far as I have been able to learn none of
these experiments proved a success from
a financial standpoint. No very success-
ful nozzles have as yet been designed to
work under low pressure steam or hot

water boilers. The best that has been
done with Texas oil or crude Pennsyl-
vania oil in the Atlantic coast states has
made the cost of heat equivalent to coal
at about $20 per ton. L. C. C.

CALIFORNIA CARNATION CO., LOOMIS, CAL

Mention The R*Tlew when yon wrlt«.

have met many during my years of ex-
jx'iience and observation who seemed to
have a )}cculiar ability to handle cer-
lain kinds of stock. Whether it was
that their houses or their situations were
)iarti<ailarly suited to that special kind
of rose or carnation, or whether the
grower had the knack of handling the
article right, it is not always possible
to tell; generally it is a hapj)y com-
bination of all three conditions, I sup-
])ose. I have known many growers who
come nnder this hc.ad, who, not being
s.atisfied with a handsome return for
their outhiy of time and trouble, luive
l»raiKdied out into ;i general lino of
greenhouse stock, with the result tliat
they passed over to the list of "has
bee lis. ' '

I think a good test of a grower's abil-
ity is to give him a couple of houses of
Beauties to handle for a couple of years.
I have noticed that the man who is suc-
cessful with this queen of roses can gen-
erally 1)0 relied on to handle almost any-
thing else. Eternal vigilance is neces-
sary, c\on in this land of sui)shim\ to
grow jiaying crops, ami many a grower
who started in with a half dozen houses
of roses fin.ally drifted into carnations
and other easier handled stock. P>u(
fancy stock, even at this time of the
ye.ar, is in good dem.and at fair ju'ices.
A\ifh little rif it to be had considering'
the acrfjii^c of gla«s here;ibouls. Oood
roses are scarce and I am afr.aid they al-
ways will be. Fancy earnatiruis are never
over-fileiitiful ;ind there is ;i greater mar
kef now' th.an e\f'r.

Orchid eii,\\ing is -till in its infancy
here and offers a rich tlfdd to the suc-
cessful man. Wifli outdoor hardv stock

AMERICAN SEED TRADE ASSOCUTION.

Pres., C. N. Page, Des Moines, la ; First Vlce-
Pr««., Lt. li. May, St. Paul; Sec'y and Treas., C. E.
Kendel, Cleveland. The 23rd annual meeting
will be held on the St. Lawrence, June, 1906.

The first shipments of French bulbs
are on the water.

L. W. BowEN, of Ferry & Co., Detroit,
has returned from his European trip.

There is no more than the usual sup-
ply of callas 1 1/4 -inch' and up; plenty of
small bulbs.

Visited Chicago: — L. L. May and
Mrs. May, St. Paul, en route to Toronto;
A. M. McKenzie, Brandon, Manitoba.

MiTCHELLHiLL & Cc, seed merchants
at St. Joseph, Mo., announce a change in
the title of the firm. It is now Mitchell-
hill Bros.

A SCARCITY of spinach seed for fall
planting is in prospect, with the coming
crop reported very short at foreign
sources of supply.

G. A. Joosten, a nephew of the late
C. H. Joosten, will continue the business
for the widow. He has long been asso-
ciated with the house.

Frank E. Rue, manager of Murray's
Seed Store, Peoria, 111., has just returned
from a tour of crop inspection in north-
orn seed growing districts.

The French syndicate is reported to
be laying down in New York, duty paid,
comparatively small lots of Paper Whites
13 ctms., at 25 francs per Ibousand.

Several of the French stocks of rad-
ish seed 80 much in demand by seedsmen
who supply market gardeners are report-
ed very short, in some cases total fail-
ures.

Charles P. Braslan, San Jose, Cal.,
announces the engagement of his daugh-
ter, Miss Virginia E., to John E. Cal-
houn, of Minneapolis. The wedding will
take place in the fall.

From Ollioules come reports of a
shortage of Paper White grandiflora
bulbs thirteen centimeters and up, due
to dry weather. The crop of French
Romans, being generally planted on the
best land, is moderately good.

The J. M. McCuUough's Sons Co.,
Cincinnati, has been incorporated with
$250,000 authorized capital stock by Al-
bert McCuUough, H. B. McCuUough, G.
H. Parvin, E. E. Lester and D. Canni-
cbael.

Advices from Kentucky are that the
blue grass seed crop is one of the largest
ever harvested. The crop of the whole
blue grass region is usually about 500,-
000 bushels. Good judges estimate the
crop this year at 800,000 to 1,000,000
bushels. The seed is full and heavy, and
having been gathered under favorable
conditions, is in fine shape for storage.

The Wm. S. Gilbreath Seed Oo. has
been incorporated at Indianapolis. The
capital stock is $10,000, and the incor-
porators are Wm, S. Gilbreath, Minnie
S. Gilbreath and Wm. P. Herod. The
Indiana Seed Warehouse & Storage Co.
has also been incorporated with capital
stock of $10,000 by Wm. 8. Gilbreath,
Minnie S. Gilbreath and Paul Fiegel.

The week 's reports from the pea fields
of Michigan and Wisconsin are quite
discouraging. Rain in some sections has
helped the Michigan bean crop, but the
outlook is far from satisfactory. Noth-
ing definite has been reported from New
York sections. Reports from Canada,
however, are about in line with those
from Michigan and Wisconsin.

H. ScuLTHORP & Sons, of Port Hope,
Ont., write: "It is very regretable for
us to have to report that the pea crop
in this district has suffered much more
than we calculated when last writing.
All dwarf peas are bedded in weeds and
many farmers declare the crop will not
pay for harvesting. Medium strawed
sorts are badly blighted in sections. Peas
on low, heavy soil are a total failure in
many sections. The bulk of the earlies
are harvested but do not know of any be-
ing thrashed. Later sorts are ripening
too fast. The season has been too wet
for beans. Hay was a heavy crop. Win-
ter wheat will not average over ten bush-
els per acre; the kernel is small. Bar-
ley is a fair crop but badly colored. Oats
are looking favorable. Alsike is well
filled but there is too much straw, green
heads and weeds for good quality seed."

CUSTOMS DECISIONS.

There have been a number of cases
before the United States Board of Ap-
praisers recently in which the seedsman
making the appeal has lost because of
failure to conform to some of the re-
quirements of the law. It is not suffi-
cient, in an appeal from the collector
to the Board of Appraisers, to set up
that duty was wrongfully assessed, it
must be shown under what paragraph of
the tariff act the goods in question
should come, and this must be supported
by evidence. The following is the deci-
sion on an appeal brought by W. Atlee,
Burpee & Co.:

The merchandise In question consists of pep-
per, wormwood, relerlac, dandelion, sa^e, and
parsley seeds, all of which were classified
under paragraph 254 of the tariff act of 1897,
whlrfi Imposes a duty of thirty per cent Rd
valorem on "seeds of all klndx, not specially
provided for," They are claimed to be free
under the provision In paragraph 548 of the act
which relieves from duty "seeds aromatic
• * • which are drugs and not edible," etc.

With respect to the parsley seeds this claim
must be sustained in view of Board decision
G. A. 6272. The ease has been submitted with-

out evidence, the protestants merely citing the
United States Dispensatory as supporting their
contention. Pepper, wormwood, celeriac, dan-
delion, and sage are all mentioned In that au-
thority as having medicinal properties and
uses, but there appears to be no specific ref-
erence to the seeds of those plants as having
such qualities. It is plainly Incumbent upon
the Protestants to show by a fair preponder-
ance of the evidence that the seeds in question
are inedible within the meaning of paragraph
548 and are used as drugs. They have failed
in this, and whatever may be the true
state of facts, the rule of law which makes
the collector's action presumptively correct
must govern our action with regard to all of
the seeds in question except the parsley seeds.
The protest Is sustained as to the parsley
seeds and overruled as to all other merchan-
dise. The collector's decision is reversed to
the extent indicated and affirmed in all other
respects.

ASTERS.

In perusing the seedmen's catalogues
one is bewildered as to what va-
rieties to select, for they are legion,
but I have at various times grown
some of the American forms, and one that
stands out as the grandest of all is 8em-
ple's Marvel. Sent out as a white only
some few years since, it has become one
of the foremost asters in the States, and
now that various colors are obtainable it
yields to none. Coming in later than the
Comets it is of great value, as it escapes
the terrible beetle that worries American
growers. I still favor the white, for its
huge blooms simply breathe defiance to
the early chrysanthemum. Vigorous in
growth, with flowers four or five inches
across on twenty-inch stems, it is a won-
der for cutting, and lasts for weeks. The
outer florets are slightly reflexed and
seem to suggest an improvement on the
Victoria type. The white is not so pure
as in the Giant White Comet raised by
Mr. Sproule, but it is a marvelous aster,
and I feel sure that the market men who
are trying it this season will find it a
most valuable sort. — T. W. in Gardeners'
Magazine.

for thirty-four years by Joseph Heinl.
Mr. Heinl retains the presidency of the
company, with Wm. Heinl, secretary.

Steono Citt, Kans. — There have been
two floods here this season and all the

dens. All crops were washed out or
killed. The valley was filled with water
from bluflf to bluflf. M. H. Lewis & Co.
lost everything but the buildings.

Death of C M. Auger.

Charles M. Auger, who was the first
man to engage in business as a florist in
Fort Wayne, and one of the pioneers in
Indiana floriculture, died July 26 in
France, whither he had gone nearly a
year ago for a visit to the scenes of his
boyhood home. He was 82 years of age.

Mr. Auger was born near Versailles in
1822. He came to America while yet a
young man and in 1852 came to Fort
Wayne and engaged in market and flower
gardening. Later, in 1869, when the city
had developed sufficiently to warrant the
departure, he conflned his business to that
of a florist exclusively, founding the es-
tablishment which is still conducted by
his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Lydia E. Au-
ger. Mr. Auger was the pioneer in the
florists' business in this city, and one of
the earliest in the entire state.

FUMIGATION CALLS FIREMEN.

The following is from a daily paper at
Providence, R. I. :

John D. Jenson, florist, at 1142 Broad street,
held an Impromptu reception of firemen at
6:15 o'clock last evening. The affair was so
sadden that Mr. Jenson did not have time
in which to serve pink or any other kind of
tea, although with a little delay on the part
of bis guests he might have passed around a
geranium stew a la sulphur.

Mr. Jenson had occasion to fumigate his
greenhouses, and applying a match to a pot
of sulphur, closed the door and hied himself
to a safe spot. The houses were soon filled
with smoke and presented such an alarming
appearance that a cltlien. who was not aware
that Mr. Jenson was giving varions kinds
of) bugs a throat treatment, sprinted after and
overtook Patrolman Thomas Cannon and ceased
the latter to chase himself to box 219.

Mr. Jenson was enjoying a comforting pipe
In his office when a lot of firemen dashed In
and told him that bis premises were on fire.
The florist almost threw a fit before he re-
called that he had set a fumigating plant to
work and that it had budded beautifully. Then
the firemen said sulphurous things and went
back to their stations.

IOWA FLORISTS MEET.

The Perry Florists' Association had
the summer meeting with M. H. Wether-
bee, at Charles City, lovra. There was the
largest attendance we have had. One
day was given up to riding about the city,
visiting places of interest, among which
was a visit to the greenhouses of the
Sherman Nursery Co. All report busi-
ness good and nearly all are adding some
new glass this season, which speaks well
for this part of the country.

A design contest was one feature of
the convention and showed us all how
different ones go at them. The contest
was very close and all showed points of
special value. The inner man was well
provided for by Mr. and Mrs. Wether-
ijee, for which they have our thanks.
The next meeting will be at Osage, in
January. W. S. H.

ELMIRA, N. Y.

During the past month trade condi-
tions have been about the usual for the
summer. Eoses and carnations of a good
grade have been scarce and what are
really good are imported stock, one dealer
getting his best every day from Bramp-
ton, Ont. Carnations in the field are do-
ing well, the rains with which we have
been favored and the cool nights being
just what they wanted. Housing will
in many cases begin this -week.

The United States Cut Flower Co. has
had a force of over 100 men on construc-
tion work during the summer and the
work is so far advanced that rose plant-
ing is nearly finished; they already have
over 20,000 benched and the remainder
will be planted this week. The power
house, offices, packing rooms, coal sheds,
etc., are about completed and next week
three boilers will be installed. By the
end of they month they expect everything
to be in full working order.

Wm. Algie, president of the company,
has just returned from an extended trip
through Canada. He spent a part of his
time at his beautiful home at Alton.
Jos. V. Peirce, of New Bedford, Mass.;
Geo. Cox, late of Columbia City, Ind.,
and Alfred G. Nason, from New Jer-
sey, have accepted positions as growers
with the company. •

Sorry I missed Mr. Scott on my last
visit to Buffalo, as I would have been
delighted to have had the friendly advice
of this sage "by wird o' mow." As it
is I am thankful to Brother Scott for his
encouraging advice and good wishes and
coming from * ' a brither Scot, " it is
doubly welcome. Although my stature in
inches may fall considerably short of
some of our attenuated brethren, wha,
by their strenuous efforts to attain a
higher plane, have succeeded in pushing
their hieads through their hirsute cover-
ings, I can assure Mr, Scott that even
though the projected million feet of glass
was no longer a question of the future,
my professional courage w ould be in no
tianger of a collapse. Call and see us,
William. J. J. C.

interesting and using its advertisements
has been very satisfactory. — M. Mag-

AUQOST 4, 1904.

TIFFIN, OHIO.

Lewis Ullrich is having a busy time of
it, remodeling his place. Four houses
have been torn down and in their stead
three modern ones, each 25x100, will be
built this summer. These are intended
for palms, ferns and miscellaneous stock.
The season has proved a prosperous one,
surpassing his own sanguine expectations.
Nor was he ever better equipped to meet
the demands of both his retail and whole-
sale trade. Mr. Ullrich intends planting
carnations on a larger scale than hereto-
fore, for the demand for them is steadily
on the increase. White Cloud, Flora
Hill, Lawson, Enchantress, Triumph,
and several meritorious seedlings of his
own will constitute the stock to be grown
during the coming season. Triumph, as
grown on this place, is by no means a
back number. It seems to have retained
all its vigor of constitution. Among his
own seedlings there is one of the Day-
break type and color that looks very
promising. A third season's test will de-
termine its full value. Eoses look clean
and vigorous, the Golden Gate being Mr.
Ullrich's favorite and one of the best
meney-makers on the place. Mr. Ullrich
discovered, a few years ago, a red seed-
ling geranium on his place which not
only sells at sight but the demand for it
far exceeds the supply. Ullrich's Seed-
ling, as it is called here, is an excellent
bedder and bloomer and has won many
admirers. X.

Algona, Ia. — The H. A. Richardson
Co. reports very good business the past
season, with prospects for still better re-
sults in the approaching one. They are
adding to their glass this summer.

TARRYTOWN. N. Y.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Tarrytown Horticultural Society was
held July 26, President Ballantyne in
the chair. The following special prizes
were received for the fall exhibition:
$25 for the best thirty-six blooms chrys-
anthemums, six varieties, $15 for first
prize and $10 for second, from Mrs. Geo.
Lewis, Tarrytown; $5 from C. Vander-
bilt, Tarrytown, for the largest cut chrys-
anthemum exhibited, and $15 from A. T.
Boddington, New York, for best three
specimen ferns, $10 for first prize and $5
for second. A check for $100 was re-
ceived from E. G. Eeid, Irvington, who
will be presented with a life membership
in the society. Mrs. Henry Draper,
Dobbs Ferry, was elected an honorary
member and A. T. Boddington was elect-
ed an active member.

The monthly prize offered by Jas.
Lawrie, for the best display of flowers
cut from hardy shrubs, was awarded to
A. McKenzie, superintendent for Samuel
Untermeyer. Honorable mention was
awarded to H. J. Kastberg, Dobbs Fer-
ry. A certificate of merit was awarded
to the F. B. Pierson Co. for a very fine
display of hardy phlox, comprising over
thirty varieties. Wm. Scott and Francis
Gibson were the judges.

It was decided to have the annual out-
ing of the society on August 17 at Eye
Beach and the committee has arranged
for a shore dinner at 2 o'clock. Tickets
can be had by members and friends from
any of the executive committee at $1
each.

After the business was disposed of,
Jas. Scott opened a discussion on the
forming of a gardeners' organization
Buch as the one being formed in London,
but with the exception of Mr. Scott not
one of the members present seemed to be
in favor of such an organization.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

AcauBT 4, 1004.

WICHITA, KANS.

Wichita was visited hj a flood, early
in July, such as was never heard of here
before. At least seventy-uve per cent of
the city was under water, all the way
from six inches to four feet deep. Wa-
ter covered the parks, killing all bloom-
ing plants except the cannas and at least
thirty per cent of the shrubs are killed.
F. Kuechenmeister, whose greenhouses
are located near the park, suffered the
loss of his whole stock, water being three
feet deep in his houses and field. His
loss is heavy, as he did not save any-
thing. He lost 10,000 fine carnations
ready to be benched, 2,500 young roses,
and shrubs of all kinds. He has had
fine success with carnations. His soil
seems to be just suited for them, but
in some places the top soil is all washed
off. C. A. Eose lost all his stock, prin-
cipally chrysanthemums and summer
blooming plants. W. H. Gulp suffered
the least, although the street was like a
river in front of his place. A. T. Buck-
ridge, in the north part of the city, lost
roses and carnations.

In the eastern part of the city, Chas.
P. Mueller had just purchased a fine
piece of land, expecting to move his
buildings, and had planted all his sum-
mer and winter blooming plants, some
25,000 or 30,000, with the best prospect
he has ever had, yet all were taken in
forty-eight hours ' time. He has given up
building for this year and possibly long-
er, as it will take from one to two
years to make up his loss. He was en-
joying a splendid local as well as ship-
ping business. M.

TORONTO.

The Market

The cut flower market has picked up
considerably during the last week and
the supply has correspondingly decreased.
Hoses and carnations are very short,
while asters are only in fair supply as
yet. Sweet peas are good and the sup-
ply about equal to demand. Lilies of all
kinds are scarce.

Varioos Notes.

The Toronto delegation to the Ottawa
convention will be large unless present
indications are astray. The Toronto flor-
ists should make as good a showing as the
east did at the Toronto convention. Every-
body go, and make a success of our an-
nual Canadian Horticultural Association
convention. Nothing is more needed to
make the convention a success than your
presence at Ottawa. D. J.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

August 4, 1904.

OUR DONATIONS.

Under the beftd of Chicago Notes in
the issue of July 7 are a few emphatic
remarks above Ihe signature of O. W.
Frese, relative /to the imposition that is
practiced on the Chicago florists by a
request and, it appears, almost a demand,
for flowers ^as a donation by various
people and institutions. Mr. Frese
seems to have suffered most at the hands
of what he calls "Sisters." Sisters, it
is true, have been the leaders in the
abuse of the florists' good nature, for
all women are sisters. But, from our
experience, the Sisters of Charity, if
those are meant, have been by no means
the chief offenders. We have many
good customers among these worthy peo-
ple. It is true that if they come from
the Emerald isle, or happen to be bom
in this home of the free, they are in-
clined to be addicted with the begging
microbe and their cloth and vocation
have an influence to extract * ' the goods ' '
from the merchants. The unsophisticat-
ed Polish and German Sisters seem more
independent and purchase and pay cheer-
fully for plants and flowers for their
festival days. The extent to which this
begging of flowers has grown in Chi-
cago, according to Mr. Frese, is ridicu-
lous and carried to what seems to us
incredible lengths, accompanied with a
large amount of gall.

How is it the wholesaler is the vic-
tim? In our city it was the retailer. If
a grower has his own wholesale depart-
ment he can give away, but if he is an
honest commission man he has nothing
to give away. The flowers aren't his.
He is handling them for the consignor,
and if he gives any away he should
credit them as sold.

But this is a little off the subject.
It is not the Sisters of Charity that
have ever troubled us. It was the full
blown, married sisters in almost all
walks of life, except the good women
who are your liberal patrons, or those
not built that way. A man makes a
few dollars and is elected a trustee of
the United Brethren of Spiritual In-
spiration church, or some other institu-
tion. The wife has a new function in
life, becomes an active church worker
and a philanthropist at other people's
expense. "Wives of G. A. E. veterans
have an almost substantial call on you.
To such a degree had this tax upon the
florists grown in our city that it was
not uncommon for a grocer's wife from
the east side to sail into the store and
announcp that "she was going to have
a euchre party tomorrow night and
wouldn't we please donate a palm for
a prize! '' We never saw or heard of
her before or since, but someone must
have told her the florists were "real
easy." So, after suffering for years
with this humbug, the Florists' Club
got together very much in earnest and
passed a resolution, agreeing that we
would donate neither plants nor flowers
to any church, institution or individual
for any purpose whatsoever. Church,
charity bazaar or euchre party, it was
all cut out. A copy of the agreement
was signed by every florist in the city
and neighborhood.

The city papers published the same
and a framed copy hangs in a conspicu-
ous place in all florists' stores or places
of business. It was the best day's
work the florists of our city ever did.
No unpleasant excuse is now needed.
We just point to the Uttle 6x8 sign and

that settles it. It did its work well,
and the beggars of both sexes and all
conditions of life were soon aware of
our agreement.

It is not to be supposed that this
resolution has not been occasionally vio-
lated, because there are cases and cir-
cumstances where the florist feels it not
only his duty but a pleasure to con-
tribute toward some worthy object. For
instance, some lady who buys liberally
and gracefully throughout the year says,
"There is a class of trained nurses to
graduate from the Creneral Hospital to-
night. Would you mind sending a few
palms for the stage f I assure you they
will be much appreciated." In sudti
cases there may have been violations
of our solemn covenent, and no harm
if there was, but it has choked off en-
tirely the chronic leech and beggar, ana
the good people never did bother us.

I forgot to sayVbove that the resolu-
tion signed by all snposed a fine of $25
on anyone detected in making a dona-
tion. No fines yet imposed in seven
years. Still the agreement has been of
the greatest benefit, and largely faith-
fully kept.

Get together, you army of florists of
Chicago. You have no more business to
be imposed upon than the jewelers, or
hatters, or milliners. Just let me add
that a few days after our action was
published in the daily papers, our most
valued customers took occasion to con-
gratulate us on the stand we bad taken.

I suppose it is a fact that many
thoughtless people do not realize that
it costs anything to produce our flowers
and if we have a hundred roses in the
ice box and sell fifty we might just
as well give away the other fifty. We
have made lots of money anyway.

Then, unfortunately, there is the in-
dividual (sorry I am to say it, but it
is generally poor, dear woman) who de-
sires to dispense much charity at other
people's expense. They are continually
soliciting and begging donations of flow-
ers or other delicacies for poor Mrs.
Tubbs, who is confined to her bed witn
luipbago. The florist, or candy man, or
grocer is really doing the charity part
of it, but they don't get any of the
glory.

I have a vivid recollection of a large
lady who would sail into the shop and
after three or four heavy respirations
and undulations of her expansive chest,
as much as to say, "well, here I am
again," she would begin: "Well, I'm
always buying flowers, but I never buy
them for myself, hardly ever. Mr. B.
says he never saw such a woman, always
doing something for somebody else.
What have you got this morning that's
real pretty and cheap? Mind these are
not for myself. If they were T wouldn't
mind the price, but they are for one of
my hired girls' mother who fell down
stairs last week and she's terribly
shook up. Mind I can't afford much
because they are not for me. It's char-
ity you know." And then one of those
sweet charity smiles is bestowed on you,
that would stiffen up butter in sultry
weather. You produce a dozen roses
and shade the price away down, yet in-
stead of thanks a hand is outstretched
touching up a rose or two as not being
fresh. About that time you feel as if
there was a small Mount Pelee working
inside you, yet you muat suppress it
Often have we undergone this ordeal,
only far more elaborate and beyond my

descriptive power, when we could not
escape to the rear or under a bench.

Well, one day this good woman had
the misfortune, in a carriage accident^
to fracture the upper section of her left
' lower limb, and for many months she
had to stop indoors. Her husband, a
splendid man (poor man) never failed
to come around at least every other day
and buy from $1.50 to $2.50 worth of
flowers for the invalid. Whatever was
nice suited him and so did the price.
He seemed delightfully cheerful when
buying those flowers. No doubt the
joy of taking them home was sincere,
yet his gaiety of spirit was so marked
while Mrs. B. was confined to her bed
and his purchases from us so frequent
and liberal that I cannot help thinking
there was more than one regretted this
large lady's convalescence.
, To give to the poor, the needy and
deserving is a most hallowed pleasure.
It is like mercy. "Twice blest, it
blesses him that gives and him that
receiveth. It becomes the king better
than his crown." But the army of
busybodies and small-souled creatures
that pester the florists, and many other
business men, should be severely re-
pressed. Stamp them out as you would
the scarlet fever or the glanders.

CADILLAC, MICH. '^ »

The name of Cadillac is becoming fa-
mous, but in other lines besides the flor-
ists' business. It is only a few years ago
that we were considered "up in the
pine woods," but with the passing of
the pine there has been left a thriving
city of 7,000 inhabitants, bordering the
banks of a beautiful lake. The problem
of utilizing the pine lands will undoubt-
edly be solved in time by the establish-
ment of an experimental station by Solon
Lu Goode. Four forties are being
stumped, and experimental work will be
commenced next spring to ascertain just
what the soil needs to make it useful for
all kinds of crops. Potatoes will grow
there, and many a farmer has paid for
his farm with one crop of potatoes. Not
only is agriculture to receive a new im-
petus, but up-to-date greenhouses and
up-to-date methods are sure to prevail
in this hitherto benighted region. Ac-
cording to the Chinaman, carnations are
to be grown four to six inches in size
and roses like saucers. The grocer and
baker and candlestick maker have par-
taken of the inspiration and plants and
flowers could be obtained from Tom,
Dick and Harry this spring, each willing
and anxious to share the florists' burden
of riches.

Notwithstanding the jolts and jars, A.
W. Tweedie reports a good business and
plants sold out clean. He is hard at
work planning for a larger trade next
year. (

Kleinhans & Mason, the new flrm, are
busy putting up their houses and have
the frames up for three, with glass in one
of them. They have completed a neat
residence and Mr. Kleinhans and family
are installed therein. They have 2,000
carnations in the field and are getting
ready to share in the city 's prosperity.

This has been a good growing season
and plants of^ all kinds are in excellent
condition, considering the late spring,
the flower beds at the cemetery being
especially attractive.

This city narrowly escaped a severe
hailstorm recently. It is a noticeable
fact that we have not been visited by
any serious storms for nearly two years.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

August 4, 1004.

PIPING.

We have a greenhouse running east
and west 16x75 feet, north wall five feet
six inches, boarded up, south wall thirty
inches of glass and thirty-six inches of
boards. The west end is boarded up
and the east is board and glass, the same
as the south wpU. Even span, eleven feet
from ground to gable. We have a No.
186 Ideal water back heater that we wish
to use. With a 3-inch supply pipe run-
ning the full length seven feet from the
ground and 1^/^-inch returns, how many
runs under benches will it take to keep
a temperature of 60 degrees in z%^
weather? The boiler is supposed to hav^
a heating capacity of 1,025 feet. Will
the boiler maintain this temperature?
Would it be better to have the supply
pipe under the middle bench? F. G.

If, as you state, your boiler has a
capacity for 1,025 feet of radiation it is
amply large to heat nearly double the
space you now have, as your house will
require only about 540 feet of radiation
to maintain the desired temperature with
water at 180 degrees. You will undoubt-
edly get good satisfaction from carrying
the main flow pipe near the ridge to the
far end of the house and there dividing
it to supply coils under the side and mid-
dle benches, or, if it is more convenient
to carry the supply pipe under the cen-
ter bench, the number of returns under
the bench can be reduced and the heat
evenly distributed by increasing the num-
ber of returns under the side benches.
In either event you should use, in addi-
tion to the 3-inch flow pipe, twelve 1^-
inch returns. These may be distji-ibuted
under the benches in the house so as to
provide an extra pipe along the side most
exposed. L. C. C.

Shibemanstovpn, Pa. — John F. Rupp
reports orders coming in at a most grati-
fying rate and all hands rushed in get-
ting them out promptly.

Amsterdam, N. Y. — Mrs. Frank Ho-
taling, wife of the florist, lies dying from

Hotaling left his home, July 24, in the
early hours of the morning, without any
apparent cause.

fact. There is no state in this country that has

The No. 2 Boiler bought of you last Fall has triven me entire satis-
faction. The two coldest days this winter, with the temperatnre }5
below scro and a howling wind at 60 miles an hour, have kept the
water at a boilinr point and that with only two-thirds of the Rrate
covered with live coal. This is my boiler when I need more.

TAKING THE BUDS.

We are now approaching the critical
period of chrysanthemum growing, the
period when blunders are costly and can-
not very well be remedied if made. I
refer to the taking of the buds. These
remarks apply more particularly, per-
haps, to the growers for exhibition than
to the commercial cut flower grower. The
latter in many cases has not long finished
planting and the question of buds will
not trouble him for several weeks, but
with the future exhibitor the case is dif-
ferent. He knows that to get the largest
flowers he must get an early bud with
the majority of varieties, and though he
stands to lose a few flowers altogether, by
taking the bud too early, he has to take
some chances.

Buds that form in August are invari-
ably what are known as crown buds, and
these crown buds also almost invariably
produce the largest flowers. The crown
bud is always known by the fact of its
having three or four tiny shoots spring-
ing out around it. In the case of term-
inal buds these shoots do not appear but
six or eight smaller buds will be found
clustered around the larger central one.

All this, of course, is old to the ex-
pert grower but we are writing for the
benefit of those who are not experts.
Many of these latter have an idea that
buds taken very early will mean that the
flowers will develop much earlier. This
does not necessarily follow, though some
kinds do come in a week or so earlier,
particularly if the weather runs very
warm in October. As a general thing,
though, there is little difference in the
time of development of the different
buds, but, as may naturally be expected,
there is considerable difference in the
size of the flowers. While the early bud
is swelling, and petals are developing, the
later bud is not yet even formed, as the
plant has an additional growth to make
and develop before bud formation can
begin. I have been told that since the
crown bud never makes a flower if the
plant is permitted to grow naturally
without any disbudding, the later bud is
really the natural one and should there-
fore be the best. To this I can only
reply that ' ' this is an art that doth mend
nature. ' '

One of the questions that will arise
first in the mind of the novice is, how
early, to be reasonably safe, can he take
a bud? I have for many years fixed
for myself the third week in August as
a date when I considered it safe to take
any bud that I could find ready. Some
will come all right taken even earlier,
but they need careful handling and ex-
perience, and unless one has taken buds
early in August before with success it is
not wise to go into it too heavily. If a
bud begins to show too early it can be
held on the plant a week or more almost
stationary, by not rubbing off more than
one or two of the previously mentioned
shoots, and leaving the others for a time
to divert the flow of sap from the bud.

It is a good idea, in fact, at any time
to leave one or more shoots below the
bud for a week, or so to act as a kind of
safety valve. When all the growths are
rubbed off close and all the energies of
the plant are directed on a tiny bud no
larger than a pin's head, it is hardly to
be wondered at if the bud sometimes
fails to mature properly.

Some growers complain that when they
take the crown bud the flower runs away
from the foliage, leaving a long, bare
neck. While some kinds will do this no
matter how they are grown, it is quite
often the fault of the grower in having
his plants make a long, soft, sappy
growth by excessive watering and lack of

showing before the foliage commences.
It accentuates the size of the flower and
a vase of such flowers has a lighter,
more graceful appearance in my eyes.

Every one should have a little note
book and put down in it the times he
takes certain buds. Mark the plants and
then when the flowers appear he can see
for himself which bud produced the best
flowers and this will be valuable in-
formation gained for next season. Hit or
miss methods never pan out successfully
in any business, least of all in a delicate
operation like disbudding chrysanthe-
mums.

While some of our American seedlings
are better on a bud taken early in Sep-
tember, notably the well known Apple-
ton, all of the imported varieties give
best results when taken on the August
crown; in fact, the late bud produces in
many cases a flower that is practically
useless.

These remarks apply to my district,
the eastern coast. Things may work dif-
ferently in the interior of the country
but where one is writing for readers
scattered all over a vast country like this,
growers should take into some account

J. J. Beneke, President St Louis Florists' Qub.

proper ventilation, when really the plants
should now be showing signs of maturity
my making short, stocky growth, with
bark showing up the stems like the bark
on a tree. Well ripened wood is one of
the secrets of the big flowers and to get
well ripened wood one must plant early
and grow as cool and hard as possible.
I have never been bothered by lack of
foliage in taking crown buds. Some
people profess great admiration for a
solid column of foliage with the flower
squat right down on it, but I personally
would rather see the flowers stand out
above with about an inch of bare stem

their location and apply the lesson ac-
cordingly. Brian Bobu.

THE BEST SHOOT.

Please state the best and safest shoot
to leave on chrysanthemums to get the
best bud after August 10. Is the first
or second the better to leave on the
plant! J. C.

I prefer, as a general thing, to leave
the second shoot on the plant to grow on,
as the first sometimes makes a short
growth of several inches and then pro-

duces another bud. After a plant has
made a break it is not wise to be in too
big a hurry to remove all the shoots not
needed to run on. Let the shoots make
a growth of several inches; then it can
be determined with safety just which
would be the bost one to leave. '

Brian Boru.

ROSES«

Work- About the Buildings.

If there are any defects in the glass,
such as blisters, which cause burning
spots, they should be gone over and
touched with either oil or a solution of
alum. Apart from the unsightly ap-
pearance these burned spots give a house,
their effect op the plants is debilitating,
destroying the usefulness of the foliage,
causing weakness and checking root ac-
tion. The time and trouble devoted to
obliterating these spots will be amply
repaid in the robustness and vigor of
growth obtained.

While the weather is yet warm and the
wood-work dry, is the proper time to look
over the roofs, gutters, etc., and have the
necessary repairs attended to. If the
roofs are old and the sash bars decayed
and ordinary puttying would entail too
much labor. Old English putty applied
with the putty bulb along the edges will
render them tight for at least one sea-
son. Particular care and pains should
be taken to close all cracks along the
gutters, as this is where the cold air
pours in, causing just the conditions fa-
vorable to the germination of mildew
spores. As long as these cracks are left
open it is impossible to keep the houses
clear of this pest, however intelligently
we may apply all the other preventives
and remedies; in fact, to obtain the best
results in a rose house we must elimin-
ate as far as possible all drip and
draughts.

Any painting that may be necessary

should also be done while the wood is
in a fit condition. A clean and neat
exterior, besides being attractive, is an
almost certain index of the condition of
the interior and stock and often gives
us a correct line on the quality of the
management.

Boilers should be cleaned and over-
hauled and put into condition for the
winter's work, fire boxes and grates re-
paired and pipes lined up and tested.
Ventilators also should be readjusted
and everything put into shape for the
winter.

These matters are often allowed to
drift along till after the best part of
the season is over and the danger from
frost becomes imminent. Then the work
has to be hurried through and the near-
er the danger point approaches and time
becomes precious, the work is done in
such a hurried and imperfect manner
that our troubles are sure to be multi-
plied during the winter. A little fore-
sight and energy now will place us be-
yond these worries and risks. Bjbes.

It is better to allow the buds to show
a little color before oisbudding, as this
is an evidence that the eyes on the flow-
er stem have approached the woody
stage at which the eyes are fully de-
veloped. If the plants are very small and
where cutting off half the flower stem
would denude the plant of too large a
percentage of fohage, it is better to sim-
ply nip off the buds. This is the treat-
ment usually accorded to plants while in
two and one-half-inch and three-inch
pots. Kibes.

CARNATION NOTES. -WEST.

Seasonable Care.

After you have your carnations planted
a week or ten days, if you have not al-
lowed them to suffer, you will be able
to see that the roots have taken hold.
As soon as the plants will hold up fresh
without any syringing during the day
you should begin to remove the shade
by degrees. This removing the shade
and getting the plants inured to tlie
strong rays of the sun is almost as
severe on the plants as the transplanting
was. If it is done too suddenly and
the plants are exposed to the fierce sun-
shine we are apt to have at this time
of the year, they will wilt badly and suf-
fer proportionately. A severe check is
sure to follow and some of the plants
may never recover. The less syringing
you did and, of course, kept your plants
fresh, the less would your plants suffer,
cs the growth would have had less
chance to become soft.

Great care must be given to watering,
too, during the first month after plant-
ing. After you can see that the roots
have taken hold nicely let the soil get
tolerably dry on the surface. Not pow-
der dry, but just dry enough to let the
sun sweeten it. While it is tolerably
dry go over the beds and stir the soil
about a half inch deep and level it off.
After the plants have the full sun I like
to water the whole bed instead of just
around the plants. There is little dan-
ger of the soil souring if you allow it to
gefc into the proper condition before each
Xvatering and I think the plants do bet-
iw/as the soil does not get so hot. Keep
the soil stirred to keep it sweet and to
kill the weeds. If there are any spots
that appear to have soured a little,
sprinkle on a little air-slaked lime and
stir it into the soil, and water carefully
thereafter.

Soon after the plants get to going
nicely you should begin with your insect
preventives. I do not like to smoke
during this hot weather, as the ventila-
tors have to be closed while smoking.
Far better for the plants is a good spray-

ing with a nicotine extract like To-bak-
ine liquid, which will kill the insects just
as well as the tobacco smoke and with
less harm to the plants. Spray at least
once in two weeks for a preyentive,
but spray oftener if necessary to eradi-
cate a pest that may have gotten a foot-
hold. Always keep in mind the old
adage about the ounce of , prevention
being worth a ^ound of ciire. If you
are troubled with sow-bugs on your place,
don't wait until they begin to chew up
your plants. Mix some sugar and Paris
green and drop a little here and there
on the edge-board and you will soon be
rid of them. A. F. J. Baur.

CARNATION NOTES.-EAST. '

Diseased or Withered Foliage.

Very few varieties pass through the
ordeal of transplanting without losing
more or less foliage and still less can be
said to be free from objectionable if not
diseased leaves. Althongh it is claimed by
some that the removal of such foliage is
unnecessary and a waste of time, there
remains the possibility that the work may
not have been properly done.

I will admit it is tedious work at best
but aside from the benefit to plants, the
improved appearance of a bench so
treated, gives the grower a sense of
pride. The best help on the place should
be set at this work, as carelessness, im-
patience or rough handling will tend to
do more harm than good.

Plants should be established and grow-
ing vigorously before beginning the op-
eration and, as it is advisable always to
remove all rubbish from the house, choose
a time previous to the bench soil being
broken up, as this allows those dropped
to be more easily gathered.

If the foliage to be removed is com-
pletely shriveled there is less liability of
damage being done than if partially
green and on this account it is not ad-
visable to clean up the plants too soon.
Leaning the plants too far sideways
when going over them and trying to
rush the job by picking the leaves off in
handfuls is responsible for injury to ten-
der roots or the breaking down of
branches and young shoots; also tearing
off bark, and in my opinion the reason
for some growers reaching the conclusion
that the practice does not pay; but any
operation aiding in the admission of air
around the stem and lower branches will
pay if intelligently done, the more so
when it also reduces the chances of dis-
ease germs finding a lodging place.

Supports.

The carnation being naturally of
sprawly growth, the question of supports
can be considered next in importance to
good plants, not only that we may ob-
tain straight stems but by actual test it
has been found that a plant will give an
increased number of blooms if properly
supported. Varieties differ somewhat in
habit, but in any ease the plants should
not be crowded into a small compass or
tied in a way to bunch the foliage to-
gether, for, as before stated, being nat-
urally of sprawly growth, too much re-
striction wiU be quickly resented. The
air must have free access to every part
of the plant.

There are various supports on the mar-
ket, each having its special advantages.
Many growers stretch wire lengthwise of
the bench and runs strings across, some
adding wire netting bent in shape of an

inverted V between the rows to prevent
the lower branches touching the soil.

None of these can be called the ideal,
in that one does not meet the require-
ments of all varieties, so each grower
must select means of support to suit the
varieties grown or as circumstances per-
mit, the main points to be kept in mind
being not to cramp the plants or pre-
vent easy access to soil for the purpose
of weeding or cultivation and the appli-
cation of mulch, fertilizers in dry or in
liquid form.

Personally I favor adjustable individ-
ual supports on account of the advantage
their name would imply, of being adjust-
able to varieties of different habit. Be-
ing independent of «ach other, any num-
ber can be put up or taken down at
any time without affecting others.

Whatever style is adopted, get the
material in readiness, as they will soon
be needed in some varieties and much
labor will be saved if put up as needed
by the several varieties.

THE BUFFALO SHOW.

The H. A. Meldrum department store
at Buffalo announces its third flower
show, to be given November 9 to 12,
under the auspices of the Buffalo Flor-
ists' Club, with Charles H. Keitsch su-
perintendent.

The premium list was prepared by a
committee of the FloriBts' Club and is
very liberal. In many respects it is a
model for shows of its scope. An effort
has been made to avoid too many classes
and so distribute the funds at command
as to bring out the strongest competi-
tion. The premiums for fifty cut mums
are $25, $15 and $10 in each color; for
ftwenty-fiv© blooms the premiums aare
$10, $8 and $6. These classes are open
to local growers only, but the same sums
are offered for vases of fifty open to all.
For 100 blooms in twenty-five varieties
$50, $30 and $20 is offered and the same
sums for 100 blooms arranged for effect.
For twentv-five blooms Wm. Duckham
$15 and $10 is offered, $25 for fifty
blooms of a variety not yet disseminated,
and $25 for the best display of pompons.

Emil Schray» Secretary St. Louis Florists' Qub.

The two best vases of 100 carnations
will divide $25. For 100 Beauties $50,
$35 and $25 is offered. For 100 roses,
white, pink and red, $15, $10 and $5 is
offered for each color.

Intending exhibitors should address
Chas. H. Keitsch, 810 Main street, Buf-
falo, for a copy of the list.

Calceolaria and Cineraria.

There are not many seeds to sow just
now, except perhaps some calceolaria and
cineraria, both beautiful plants when
well grown and poor things when poorly
grown. Hundreds of men who are mas-
ters, or think they are, of the rose and
carnation would make a botch with either
of these soft, cheap plants. They are
both plants which delight in a cool tem-
perature, so choose the coolest place you
have for sowing the seeds, which are
best sown in a pan. The seeds of cin-
eraria can be very slightly covered with
finely sifted leaf-mold. The calceolaria
seed is so small that no covering is
needed, just pressed into the smooth sur-
face of the soil is enough. Keep the
soil uniformly moist until the little seed-

lings are up. With these minute seeds
you are always in danger of sowing too
thickly. Avoid it, if you can. After
they are up they should have full light,
but as cool and airy a situation as pos-
sible.

Ferns for EMshes.

There does not seem to be any^decline
in the fern-dish business. I am glad
to say that all who can afford it now
have a bunch of fresh flowers or a pretty
dish of growing ferns on the dinner
table. Now is the time to buy your
stock. Flats of seedling ferns are a good
investment, for there is plenty of time to
grow them on. If not, buy the smallest
plants you can. The ferns we use for
this purpose are from various climes and
nearly all will endure and like the full-

est light and many thrive in a high tem-
perature, but nearly or quite all these
ferns want moisture, both in atmosphere
and soil, and they dislike anything like
fire-heat influence at the roots. I have
seen many a nice lot of small 2-inch ferns
ruined by warm sand or ashes from hot
pipes beneath the bench. Keep their
roots cool.

Spraying With Tobacco.

Without wishing to intrude on the
specialists in the rose, carnation, chry-
santhemum or violet departments, it
seems to me that some observations on
the use of Nikoteen will not be out of
place. It may seem expensive, and for
the quantity, about a pint at $1.50 per
bottle, it is a costly extract, but a little
goes a long ways and what consideration
is first cost if $1.50 worth of prevention
will produce $50 worth' of healthy, good
flowers? It kills all aphides, black,
green, brown or variegated. It leaves
no stain on flowers or foliage, is easily
applied, and while it rids you of aphides,
it incidentally destroys red spider and
thrips.

Smoking Not Obsolete.

Fumigating with tobacco is not likely
to be ever entirely obsolete, for in a
house of mixed plants, while there may
be a few injured by the smoke, it per-
vades all corners and is a cheap destroyer
of aphides, but is of little use against
spider and thrips. It is with the spe-
cialist, or, rather, with the house of one
kind of plant that Nikoteen is most val-
uable. The strength to which it should

512

The Weekly Florists^ Review,

AUGDST 11, 1004.

be diluted vliries in the opinion of some.
One reliable firm says one part Niko-
teen to 600 of water. We have used it
double this strength with safety. Then,
again, the common greenfly that infests
our lilies, roses, etc., succumbs to a
weaker solution than red spider or thrips.
It is almost impossible to apply the
spray properly without the automatic
sprayer sold by all the seedsmen.

I want to say here that I have not
used or seen it used on violets, but I
cannot believe that it would be injurious
to the foliage of the violets and if it
keeps down the greasy black aphis
that infests the violet about three quar-
ters of the diflS-iulty of violet culture will
be solved.

A first-class rose grower, who also
grows carnations, says he uses it for ev-
erything. Another good gardener, who
grows carnations and chrysanthemums
largely, and some violets and mixed
stock, says it kills the blackfly on the
mums as well as the spider and thrips on
any plants. Carnations it keeps clean
of everything. The same man volun-
teered the statement that last fall he
sprayed open fiowers of white mums
just to see the effect and there was no
stain or color on their immaculate white-
ness.

I have had to remark before that it
is well we have these enemies to fight.
It is half our business to combat them
and if they were non-existent most any
old woman, male or female, could pro-
duce "posies." At the same time, any-
thing that will relieve the poor florist of
some of his troubles will be a blessing
and we shall not grow rich any too fast
even if we can easily keep down our
minute enemies. In the above I have not
the slightest motive other than to bene-
fit my brother florists.

For Beetles.

Some weeks ago the writer expressed a
desire that a reader of the Review would
tell us of some destroyer of the carna-
tion beetle, as we had tried several
things and failed. A man of large ex-
perience writes me that Slug Shot will
kill them. This, as a powder, is easily
applied and perfectly harmless to the
plants. We- have only tried it about a
week, but on looking over the beds we did
not find any beetles. So far so good.

ST. LOUIS HOTELS.

The following circular letter has been
sent to the trade and should be noted
by everyone who will attend the conven-
tioai:

This circular Is Issued to call to your atten-
tion the desirability of informing me by re-
turn mall of the exact character of accommoda-
tlona you will want for yourself and other
members of your party at the 20th Annual
ConTentlon of the Society of American Florists
and Ornamental Horticultarists.

It will be impossible to secure reasonable
rate* at the three or four leading down-town
hotels. Many of them are charsing what they
call room-capacity rates. If one person occu-
pies a room he pays almost as much per day
as though it were occupied by two or more peo-
ple. It will be the policy of the Hotel Com-
mittee, of which I am chairman, to room dele-
gates In the smaller family hotels and private
Domes In the West End, many of which are
now opened for the first time to World's Fair
rlsltors. We can procure rooms in residences
on direct car lines to the Convention Hall
and to the Fair, and about midway between,
for from 75 cents each for two persons In a
room to 11.60, and for |1.00 to $2.50 for one
person In a room.

Please write me on receipt of this as to
whether you would like accommodations in a
private house, a family hotel, or a temporary
strnctare put up for Fair visitors, and charg-
Inf from $1.00 to $2.50 per day. depending on
whether one or more persons occnpy the room.

J. F. Ammann, Chairman Reception G>mmittee, St Lotus Florists' Qub.

If you have a large party it might be well to
wire me Instructions. There are only four
or five down-town hotels that will care for
visitors at $3.00 a day and under. I am mak-
ing contracts with these hotels so far as pos-
sible. Some of them do not like to make ad-
vance engagements. We shall have ample ac-
commodations at reasonable rates and can di-
rect you to your room from Union Station, so
that you can go to them from the train, if
yon will Inform us promptly of your needs.
We expect to take excellent care of all our vis-
itors, and shall provide through a Bureau at

reservation. Advance reservations, however,
will facilitate our efforts and greatly conven-
ience those making thorn.

WASHINGTON A CANDIDATE.

At a largely attended meeting of the
Washington Florists' Club August 2 the
following resolution was unanimously
adopted :

Resolved, That it is the sense of the Flor-
ists' Club of Washington, D. C, that they
present a cordial Invitation to the Society of
American Florists and Ornamental Horticul-
turists to hold the twenty-first annual con-
vention, August. 1905, in this city, the capital
of the greatest nation on earth.

President W. F. Gude adds: "You
are all aware we have a gigantic world 's
fair here at all times, a visit to which
is alone worth a week 's stay without any
convention attractions. The " hotel ac-
commodations are second to none in any
city; a sight -seeing system, the finest in
the world, and attractions too numerous
to mention,"

WINTER SWEET PEAS.

Referring to notes in the Review for

August 4, A. C. Zvolanek writes that

the Lake View Rose Gardens, whose

methods were commented on by W. S.,

have used his seed for some years. He

gives the following directions:

Christmas, pink. — Sow in the first part of
September three to five seeds to one square
foot In the bench. If not room ready this
time, sow in 4-lnch pots outdoors, but never
allow to become pot bound. When three to
four inches high, plant inside one square foot
apart, in good compost soil. Keep moist steady.
Give as much air as possible. 'The temperature
should be 45 to 50 degrees at night, 65 to
68 in the daytime. These sweet peas, If at-
tended well, will bloom from Christmas to late
In spring. If sown in November, will bloont
in February.

Miss Florence Denier, white. — Sow the first
part of September in fresh sand, in a cool, good
ventilated propagating bench, and when one to
two Inches high, plant in 2Vi to 3-inch pots.
Keep moist and well ventilated. When three
to four inches high, plant in good compost soil,
one plant to a square foot. Keep wet steady.
Give as much air as possible. The temperature
should be 45 to 50 degrees at night, 55 to 68
in daytime. These sweet peas will bloom from
Christmas to late in the spring. Grows six
feet and over. If sown in November, will
bloom In February.

THE YOUNGEST FLORIST.

With regard to the notes on the young-
est florist which appeared in the Review
for August 4, attention is called to the
fact that H. L. Menand, of Albany, N.
Y., is only 25 years of age, but has al-
ready established a fine business in flor-
ists' supplies and decorative greens, in
which he is the only dealer in the cen-
tral portion of New York. Mr. Menand
is the son of the late Louis Menand, who
was one of the oldest and best known
florists in the country. The young man
proposes to eventually do a general
wholesale florists' business, handling cut
flowers as well as other supplies. On
Wednesday, July 27, he was married to
Miss Augusta Clark, of Troy, which

event will probably tend to further stim-
ulate his ambitions.

Another successful young Philadelphia
florist is Charles F. Edgar, senior part-
ner in the wholesale firm of C. F. Edgar
& Co., who is only 21 years of age. They
have a very nice business and bright
prospects for the future.

HOLIDAY PLANTS.

[A paper by William Gainmaj;e, of London.
Ont., read before the Canadian Horticultnral
association at Ottawa, August 10, 1004.]

My topic may be divided under two
or three headings. First, what are holi-
day plants? This may be answered in
one Otr more ways and depends largely
upon the class of trade that the florist
is catering to.' In establishments where
the trade demands only the beet and
prices are no particular object, the va-
rieties of plants will differ very mate-
rially from those offered by an establish-
nilent catering to the general public. If
you are a retailer, growing and selling
your own plants, you will require a larger
number of varieties than if you are
growing for the wholesale market, and
it is with this class that we shall deal
first.

Christmas Plants.

As the Christnoas holidays will be the
first it is now time that preparations
were well under way with some of the
plants that you will require at that time.
In flowering plants Begonia Gloire de
Lorraine is probably the leader. These
should now be well established in 2^^-
inch or 3-inch pots. It is not my inten-
tion to give cultural instructions for the
various plants which will be mentioned
but with this one variety there seems to
be some lack of knowledge as to how it
should be handled. To begin with, cut-
tings should be made during May and
June, either from the leaf or the shoots
which come abundantly from the roots
of the stock plants. These, if kept grow-
ing alotng in a light, airy house, will
make fine plants in 4-inch or 4^4 -inch
pots by the first of September. There
is one peculiarity about this variety of
begonia, that it will stand what may
be termed over-potting ; that is, it ap-
pears to thrive best in what may be con-
sidered a pot one or two sizes too large
for any other variety of plant. Of
course, great care must be taken in
handling it; a careless hand in watering
will soon sour the soil and then you may
as well dump your plant. Our experi-
ence has been that it requires a light
shade and for this purpose we have used
cheese-cloth on a roller, shading it in
bright weather and allowing it the clear
glass on cloudy days. The flowers should
be kept picked off until about the first
week in November, when it should have
its last shift into a 5-inch or 6-inch pat.
If kept in a temperature of from 58 to
60 degrees, at Christmas it will be at its
best and will continue to bloom and give
the best of satisfaction for the next
three or four months.

Other varieties of plants, which should
have immediate attention, are cyclamen,
Chinese primrose. Primula obconica, cin-
erarias and poinsettias. All of these are
sold in large quantities and no florist
doing a general business can well be
without any of the varieties mentioned.
In addition to these you will require
some azaleas. Such varieties as Deutsche
Perle, Vervseneana, Simon Mardner and
Apollo are easily brought into bloom for
the Christmas holidays in a temperature
of from 65 to 70 degrees.

C A. Ktiehn, Superintendent Trade Exhibition*

For the last four or five years Boston
ferns have held a prominent place in
the list of holiday plants; in fact, their
popularity superseded the palm for a
time. These are grown in large quanti-
ties and if you have not already laid In
your stock it is high time that it should
be done. Plants that have been grown
in the bench during the summer, lifted
and potted into 5, 6 or 7-inch pots during
September make splendid specimens for
the holidays.

Palms, rubbers and arauearias are al-
ways in demand and no florist should be
without a stock of these. Let me here
say, do not delay putting in a stock of
these until your customers are asking for
them, or the weather becomes cold. You
can buy better plants during September
or October with less risk and expense in
delivering than at a later date. Aspara-
gus plumosus and Sprengeri, in pot& and
pans, also mixed ferns in pans, are de-
sirable holiday plants. You must not
overlook a few Roman hyacinths and
Paper "White narcissi. For the general
florist the above mentioned plants will
about fill the bill for the Christmas holi-
days.

To those catering to the best trade,
your time is too valuable to waste on
many of the foregoing plants. You can
afford only to deal in such varieties as
are conveniently handled and will bring
prices ranging from $1 up. For these 1
would recommend Begonia Gloire de Lor-
raine in 8-inch and 10-inch pans, which
should sell at from $3 to $5 each; cycla-
mens in from 8-inch to 10-inch pans;
azaleas from 12-inch to 20-inch crowns;
poinsettias in pans and baskets; speci-
men plants of Boston and Piersoni ferns
in pots and pans, from 8-inch to 12-inch
and larger; palms, dracsenas, pandanuses
and such other plants as the trade in
your particular locality may demand.

Marketing the .Product.

Having made your preparations for
the holiday trade, by laying in a goodi
stock of plants, your next attention wilB
be to disposing of them to the best ad-
vantage and placing them in your cus-
tomers' hands in the best possible condi-
tion. Your name is your best advertise-
ment; obliging clerks, yojir store window
and a liberal use of the daily press will
m3ke the combination necessary to dis-
pose of your stock at this particular sea-
son.

Nearly all classes of plants are im>
proved by pot covers of one descriptdon
or another. Let the clerk who has the
best conception of color arrangements
select these. Too often we see the beauty
of a plant detracted from by an injudi-
cious trimming, be it a pot cover or a
ribbon that does not harmonize with the-
shading of the flower. It is very seldom
that nature can be improved upon by
adding ribbon to either a flowering or an
ornamental plant and its use should be
discountenanced by all true lovers of art.

To avoid confusion and mistakes at a
busy time, a thorough system must be
adopted. As soon as a plant is sold it
should be tagged, the cards put in an
envelope and carefully attached to the
plant and the plant set aside with those
of the same date and time to be deliv-
ered. Every plant, no matter how small
or how large, should be thoroughly
wrapped before being sent out for de-
livery. The name and the address of
the person to whom it is to be delivered
should be carefully and legibly written
on the tag. These are minor details but
it is these small details which save time
and annoyance, not to say losses, to our-
selves and disappointment to our cus-
tomers.

Forcing aod Packing;.

Now the wbalesale man, who is grow-
ing for the trade, will adopt different
methods. -He will grow but few lines and
specialize on these. His experience will
teach him the proper time that these
should be brought in. Should it happen
that he is a little late and has to force
hard, in order to have them in on time,
he must not forget that satisfaction to
his customers must be his first consideora-
tion, and in order that his plants may
prove satisfactory they must have a few
days in a house of cooler temperature to
prepare them for the store man or cus-
tomer. His crop having been prepared,
his next step is to advise his customers
what he has on hand, giving in detail
their exact condition and value. As soon
as orders are received they should be
acknowledged, so that customers may
depend upon getting what they have or-
dered.

Every plant should be carefully
wrapped, AJU flowering plants, with flow-
ers that are easily bruised, should first
receive a wrapping in tissue paper and
then some heavier material to protect them
from the cold and bruising or breaking
while in transit. Cases should be lined
with heavy building paper or several
thicknesses of newspaper and every row
of plants should be cleated in so that
there will be no danger of the plants dis-
lodging should the express company turn
the cases upside down.

Easter Plants.

Once the Christmas holidays are over
preparations for the next great event
in the plantsman's year, Easter, must be
attended to. The varying dates on which
Easter falls must always be borne in
mind, so that you may govern your crop
accordingly. For the Easter holiday a
number of different varieties of plants

than those forced for the Christmas holi-
days wiU be used.

First and foremoet are Easter lilies,
either longiflorum or Harrisii, For pot
plants I consider the 7-9-inch bulbs the
best size. There is a difference of opin-
ion how these should be grown, some con-
tending that they should first be potted
in 4 or 4 1^ -inch pots and then shifted
up into 6 or 7-inch as the plants come
along. Others say that they should be
potted in the pot in which they are to
bloom. The only difference that I can
see is a slight economy of space in their
early stages. From my several years'
experience in growing and handling these
I see but little difference in the result
when handled by careful growers. There
is just one essential .point to always bear
in mind: Prom the time a lily starts
growing it ^ould never receive a check,
for if it does, any germs of disease that
are lying dormant are sure to develop.
Nor can you gauge its date of flowering
with the sJame degree of success as if it
had not received a check.

There are a number of brands of Lil-
ium longiflorum on the market but I do
not think that there is any material
difference between them. The maip ob-
ject is to have good, sound, well-ripened
bulbs. Under the same conditions, longi-
florum will: come in if started from four
to five wei^s later than Harrisii. While
the lily is '..the Easter flower par excel-
lencej' it"' is'also the most expensive to
grow and hardest for the store men to
handle.

Other plants that will need immediate
attention are hydrangeas, Crimson Eam-
bler and hybrid perpetual roses. These
should be brought in and started into
growth in a moderate temperature, grad-
ually increasing it, governed by the time
at your disposal.

Azaleas that are to be held for Easter
should be kept in a cool house, with an

even temperature, free from drip or ex-
cessive moisture. Other varieties of
plants such as metrosideros, lilacs, rho-
dodendrons, deutzias, etc., will not need
to be brought in before the last week in
February or the first in March.

Among the soft-wooded plants the im-
proved varieties of pelargoniums are go-
ing to take a prominent place as Easter
plants. These if propagated during Sep-
tember and October, and kept growing
along, wiU make fine, bushy plants in
5 or 6-inch pots, with from six to ten
large trusses of flower, by the first of
April. They are easily handled, very
floriferous and find a ready sale, giving
customers as good satisfaction as an
azalea or a Crimson Bambler and will
yield a better profit to the grower.
Spiraea or astilbe is also a prominent
Easter plant and is sold in larg^ quanti-
ties. Dutch bulbs should not l:^ lost
sight of. Pans of hyacinths, tulips and
narcissi, in their various varieties, are
sold in large quantities and are easily
brought in at the right time. Three
weeks in a moderate temperature is all
that is required to bring them to per-
fection. Lilies of the vaDey and forget-
me-nots in pots and pans are also desira-
ble. It will also be necessary to prepare
a few foliage plants, such as Boston and
Piersoni ferns, palms and rubbers, but
let your main effort be to prepare a
stock of good flowering plants for the
Easter trade. Of all the holidays in the
year, Easter is the one on which most
flowering plants are used. Its associa-
tions are of a joyous nature and all
people, be they rich or poor, high or
low, are imbued with the happiness at-
tending the occasion and want something
bright and cheerful, in keeping with
their feelings.

The same care in handling and deliv-
ering plants as mentioned for the Christ-
mas trade will apply at all times. Easter
lilies are very hard to handle without
bruising. For shipping, the best method
that we have found is to allow the plants
to become somewhat dry, so that the
flowers will be just a trifle willy, s^A
each individual flower and bud wrappeu
in cotton batting. The plants should be
firmly staked and each row should be
cleated into the cases and a top cleat
nailed across the case just below the
buds and each row of plants tied to this
cleat. If this work is thoroughly done
you will have no drawbacks or rebates
to make for bruised flowers while in
transit.

Prospects in GinaJa.

There are a number of plants that I
have not mentioned which might be
brought in for the holidays, such as
freesias, ericas, ardisias, capsicums,
bougainvillea, etc. You are kll familiar
with the handling of them and I do not
need to go into details. The demand in
your locality must govern you largely in
what you grow. It is well, from year to
year, to change the varieties that you
are growing, dropping some that you find
the demand decreasing on and adding
others that are likely to create a demand.
That the demand is increasing, and vnll
continue to do so, is without a question
of doubt. The time was when all our
efforts were concentrated in endeavoring
to have a sufficient supply of cut flowers
to fill the demand, but gradually plants
are superseding this demand and, whilo
at holiday times there will always be a
demand sufficient to take all the cut
flowers that can be produced, the demand
for both plants and cut flowers is not

VIOLETS.

[A paper by Wm. Fendley, of Brampton, read
before the Canadian Horticultural Association
at Ottawa, Ont., August 10.]

I was asked to open a discussion on
the culture of violets. As I am here
before you, I am in your hands — and in
my few remarks, if I should overlook
anything you would like to ask about,
speak up, for this is the place for dis-
cussion, and I will answer any questions
to the best of my ability.

I have been growing violets for the
past ten years and I am learning their
habits better every year. In the first
place, I am sure that sand-rooted cut-
tings are the best, as you get young,
sappy growth to start your plants from.
I root them very slowly, taking runners
from only the best plants. This applies
to both single and double varieties, espe-
cially doubles. You should never take
stock from poor plants. Take only the
strongest runners. After the cuttings
are well rooted, prick them off on a piece
of bench, not too close together, so that
they will not be crowded when planting-
out time comes.

My method is to plant singles in the
field in May and doubles in the beds
where they are to stay for next season's
crop, as I have found, to my sorrow, that
the double violet is a very slow root
actor. That is to say, roots that will
throw blooms. It is not so with the
singles. I think it is hard to kill them.

Violets want good drainage. I hon-
estly believe there are more violets spoiled
with overwatering than there are by going
too dry. Never let your plants go to
bed damp. Water only on bright days.
Keep the house at 38 to 40 degrees if you
want good color and plenty of fragrance.
A good violet should have a stem twelve
to fourteen inches long, with bloom not
smaller than our half dollar. The stem
should hold the bloom upright.

On the other hand, if you are going in
for quantity, not quality, run your houses
at 48 to 50 degrees and you will have
plenty of nice foliage and pale blooms
with weak stems. I plant doubles from
nine to ten inches apart and singles
ten to twelve inches apart, according to
the size of plants when lifting from
the field.

I have often been asked the question,
what is a good cut for this house! For
the month of February this year I cut
64,775 violets. I expect to have four
times as many the coming season as I
had this.

BOWLING PRIZES.

There is an embarrassment of riches
in the bowling department for the St.
Louis convention. Aside from the large
number of prizes arranged for by the St.
Louis committee, including the hand-
some silver loving cup offered by the
Anheuser-Bupch Co., Treasurer H. B.
Beatty, of Oil City and Pittsburg, has
offered a loving cup for the team con-
test and three handsome pieces of silver
for the ladies.

W. F. Kasting has offered a splendid,
massive solid silver loving cup as a per-
petual challenge trophy. This is a most
excellent idea, as the team winning it at
the convention will doubtless feel called
upon to defend it against all comers at

The Kasting Challenge Championship Bowling Trophy*

any time of the year. Mr. Kasting is
well known as never doing anything by
halves and the trophy is naturally one of
the handsomest for which florists' bowl-
ing teams have ever been privileged to
compete. A picture of it appears in this
issue.

The men's trophy offered by Mr.
Beatty is a loving cup in sterling silver,
standing about twenty-two inches high,
with three handles. This divides the cup
into three panels, handsomely ornament-
ed. The third panel has the words "H.
B. Beatty trophy, won by," with room
left for the name of the winner. At
the base of the cup are bowling balls
and pins finished in black to contrast
with the silver. The base is ebony.

The first prize for the ladies is a beau-
tiful flower vase in sterling silver, about
eighteen inches high. On one side is
etched the words "St. Louis, 1904,"
with the figure of a woman about to roll
a ball. On the other side of the vase
are the words "H. B. Beatty trophy,
won by, ' ' with a shield left for the name
of the winner.

The ladies' second prize is a rich com-
port for fruit in sterling silver. It
stands six inches high, the top being
decorated with the etching of a woman
about to roll a ball. Above are the
words * * H. B. Beatty trophy, ' ' under-
neath the words "Ladies' Prize." The
base is decorated with two panels. A
plain shield is then left for the name
of the winner.

The consolation prize is a dainty vase
in sterling silver that stands about ten
inches high, the top and bottom being
ornamented with a beautiful floral
wreath. On the vase are very artisti-
cally etched the words "St. Louis, 1904,
consolation prize." Below this two
crossed pins and a ball underneath. On
the other side are the words "H. B.
Beatty trophy, won by," with a shield
for the name of the wiiiner.

FRENCH BULBS.

Now that the season has arrived when
French-grown bulbs become a subject of
general attention on the part of seeds-

men, these notes will probably be read
with interest.

Everybody knows that the French bulbs
are especially adapted for forcing, as
they have been grown in a warm climate.
Yet it is principally during the autumn,
winter, and spring months that attention
is important. The bulbs planted in
August flower in December, and con-
tinue to do so until the end of March
without any other warmth than that of
the syn. Though it is a fact that some
cold days occur in winter-time (some-
times there is a strong, cold wind, called
the mistral), yet we have many beautiful
days which may compete with the finest
summer days in England. Frost is
nearly unknown. Thousands of people
here have never seen other than artiflcial
ice; natural ice of %-inch thickness only
occurs in exceptional winters. Earely does
the temperature fall below freezing
point.

During the warm days and the scanty
rainfall of March, April, and May, the
bulbs must be planted in such a manner
that they can be easily watered. The
watering is such an important matter
that it affects the results of a year's
work.

The bulbs are planted either in single
or double rows right across the field;
between every row (single or double)
is a distance of eight inches. This space
is used for a path, and for convenience
when watering, and is a little hollowed.

The water coming from the hills is
stored in small canals, from which many
gardens obtain their supply. From the
principal canal a branch runs to all the
gardens of the same grower. One shal-
low path along all the rows of bulbs has
a dyke across at every row. When the
lock by which it is connected with the
branch canal is opened, the water finds
its way instantly along the flj-st path.
When this is full from end to end, the
first little dyke is removed, and the water
runs on into the second path. When this
is full from end to end, the second little
dyke is removed, then the water fills
the third path, and so on.

This way of watering is very quick,
though it calls for much attention. It

first and foremost are Easier lilies,
either loiigitlorum or llari'isii. Vov pot
]>lants i consider the 7-'.)-inch bulbs the
best size. There is a dill'erence of opin-
ion liow these should be grown, some con-
tending that they should first be ])otted
in 4 or 4'L'-'"cli i>ots and then shifted
u|i into () or 7-incli as the plants come
uiong. Others say that they should be
potted in tlie ]Pot in wliiidi they are to

siH- is n slight economy of space in their
early stages. I'roni my s<!veral j'ears'
experience in growing and liandliug these
I see but little dilfereuce in the result
when handled by careful growers. There
is Just one essential point to always bear
in mind: ^'nun the time a lily starts
glowing it, should never receive a check,
for if it does, any germs of disease that
are lying dormant are sure to develoj).
Kor can you gauge its date of flowering
with the same degree of success as if it
had not received a check.

There are a numlier of brands of Lil-
ium longifiorum on the market but I do
not think that there is any material
dilfereuce between them. The maiji ob-
jiH't is to have good, sound, well-ripened
bulbs. Vnder the same conditions, longi-
tloruni will come in if started from four
to five weeks later than llarrisii. While
the lily is the Easter flower par excel-
lence, it is also the most expensive to
grow .-iiid hardest for the stcu'o men to
liandle.

Other |ihints that will need immediate
attention are hydrangeas, Crimson Ram-
bler ••ind hybrid jierpetual roses. These
should be brought in and started into

ually increasing it. governed by the time

cessive moisture. Other varieties of
]dants such as metrosideros, lilacs, rho-
dodendrons, deutzias, etc., will not need
to be brought in before the last week in
E(d)ruary or the first iu March.

Among the soft-wooded plants the im-
jiroved varieties of pelargoniums are go-
ing to take a prominent place as Easter
plants. These if propagated during Sep-
tember and October, and kept growing
along, will make fine, bushy plants in
.") or G-iiudi pots, with from six to ten
large trusses of flower, by the first of
April. They are easily handled, very
lloriferous and find a ready sale, giving
customers as good satisfaction as an
azalea or a Crimson Kambler and will
yield a better profit to the grower.
S[)ira'a or astilbo is also a prominent
Easter plant and is sold in large quanti-
ties. Dutch bulbs should not be lost
sight of. I'ans of hyacinths, tulips and
narcissi, in their various varieties, are
sold in large quantities and are easily
brought in at the right time. Three
weeks in a moderate temiierature is all
that is re()uired to bring them to per-
fection. Lilies of the valley and forget-
me-nots in ]iots and pans are also desira-

FRENCH BULBS.

Xow that the season has arrived when
French-grow II bulbs be(>ome a subject of
{:eiieral .attention on the j)art of seeds

men, these notes will probably be read
with interest.

l-lverybody knows that the French bulbs
are especially adapted for forcing, as
they have been grown in a warm climate.
Yet it is principally during the autumn,
winter, an<l spring months that attention
is important. The bulbs planted in
August fiower in December, and con-
tinue to do so until the end of March
without any other warmth than that of
the sun. Though it is a fact that some
cold days occur in winter-time (some-
times there is a strong, cold wind, called
the mistral), yet we have many beautiful
days which may compete with the finest
summer days in England. Frost is
nearly unknown. Thousands of people
here have never seen other than artificial
i<-e; natural ice of 'Jiiiudi thickness only
occurs in exceptional winters. Karely docs
the temperature fall below freezing
point.

During the warm d.iys and the scanty
rainfall of March, .Ajiril, ami :May, the
bulbs must be planted in smdi a nninner
th.at they can be easily watered. The
watering is such an important matter
that it afl"ects the results of a vear's
work.

Tiie bulbs are planted either in single
or doidile rows right across the field;
between every row (single or double)
is a distance of eight inches. This sjiaee
is used for a ptith. and for convenience
when watering, and is a little h(dlnwed.

The water coming from the hills is
stored in small canals, from which inanv
g.ardens obtain their su|if/ly. Fr<un the

has the advantage that no leaves get
wet. Where the gardens have no main
canal, they have a water-pit of ten, fif-
teen or more metres deep (a metre is
a little over a yard). A horse pumps
up the water. Besides these gardens,
there are others which cannot be watered
at all, but depend entirely on the rain-
fall.

Though here again we have a bulb-
growing district, the ground is not so
flat as in Holland. Many gardens, how-
ever, are level (all these can be watered),
others are on the slopes. Even the sides
of the hills are covered with gardens.
Of these the people have made the best
they could. They built walls and leveled
the soil in such a manner that the hill-
side is transformed into terraces. To
bring up the water high enough for these
is impossible, but they catch all the rain
and prevent it from running away.

All gardens which depend on the rain-
fall for their supply of water are called
' ' campagne. ' ' In April and May rain
falls but seldom, and sometimes these
gardens suffer much from want of water.
The warmth of the sun makes the soil dry
and very hard, and the plants do not
grow. Generally vines are planted which
resist much drought, though the bulbs
grow there very well, if it rains at the
right time; if it does not they remain
small. However, many growers consider
these small bulbs just as good as the
bigger ones from the "gardens." The
bulb from the latter retains a good deal
of water, and is not as firm and resistant
as a bulb from the ' ' campagne. ' '

A bulb from this locality has been
grown under difiiculties, and has, as re-
gards water, never known what plenty
means, and has never been able to store
80 much water, for nearly all the water
taken up by the roots has evaporated from
the leaves. A bulb from the ' ' gardens ' '
however, can always store more water,
and never suffer. The difference between
these two is that a bulb from the "cam-

pagne" of 12 cent, circumference has
more substance than one from the "gar-
dens" of 12 cent. Now suppose that
both under the same circumstances do
the same work of producing a flower
when forced. From which are you likely
to have the best results? Is the grower
right when he says that a bulb of 11
cent, from the * ' campagne ' ' has the same
vigor as one of 12 cent, from the "gar-
dens"? If there was ev?r a deficiency of
bulbs of a certain size, the "campagne"
bulbs of 1 cent, less circumference would
surely prove good substitutes. But if rain
falls at the proper time the bulbs from
the "campagne" may attain to the same
dimensions.

This year we had the rain just at the
critical moment, and we may expect a
moderately good crop. Up to the time of
writing no prices had been officially fixed,
though we expect that they will be
shortly. The general opinion is that
the prices will be (at the beginning of
the trade at any rate) such that bargains
will be rare. For the main crop, how-
ever, there will be plenty of good bulbs,
and there is a chance that prices may
drop later on. F. Beamer, Jr.

CANADIAN FLORISTS' MEET.

The seventh annual convention of the
Canadian Horticultural Association was
opened in Goldsmith's Hall, Ottawa,
Ont., on Tuesday, August 9. There was
a good attendance and much interest was
manifest from the start.

The first session was called to order
promptly on time by President E. I.
Mepsted. The mayor of Ottawa was then
introduced and delivered a cordial ad-
dress of welcome, stating that of the
many conventions which have met in
Ottawa during his term of oflBce, there
was none he took more personal pleasure
in greeting. The response was made by
P. McKenna, of Montreal, whose address

The H. B. Beatt/ Trophies for the Lady Bowlers.

was a credit to the craft from a point of
oratory.

The next order of business was the
presentation of President Mepsted 's an-
nual address, which was later very freely
commented on. His suggestions with
regard to the tariff and concerning the
attempts to establish a Canadian trade
paper, brought out a very interesting dis-
cussion and were referred to a commit-
tee for report. The secretary's report
was presented and showed the associa-
tion to be in a very healthy and progres-
sive condition. The treasurer reported
an encouraging balance in the treasury.

O. G. Johnston, Kingston, read a paper
on the greenhouses which an ordinary'
florist should build and provoked a great
deal of merriment as well as offering
some good, practical suggestions.

The evening session was opened, by a
paper by Prof. W. T. Macoun, the horti-
culturist at Experimental Farm, whose
subject was "Hardy Perennials Suitable
for Florists' Use." He dealt with the
100 best hardy varieties and his remarks
were both very interesting and highly in-
structive. A discussion on the best fuel
for greenhouse heating Avas led by C.
Scrim, of Ottawa, and, while full of in-
struction, showed much difference of
opinion, as the difference in locality is
shown in climate and cost of fuel. Soft
coal screenings proved to be the favorite
fuel.

At this session it was decided to hold
tlie eighth convention at Montreal next
year, an invitation having been received
from the secretary of the Montreal Flor-
ists' Club.

On Wednesday papers were read by
A. C. Wilshire, Wm. Gammage and Wm.
Fendley. They were much enjoyed and
provoked lively debate on each subject.
The election of officers Wednesday even-
ing resulted as follows: President,
George Robinson, Montreal; first vice-
president, J. Suckling, Truro, N. S. ;
second vice-president, O. G. Johnston,
Kingston ; members executive commit-
tee, John Walsh, Montreal; A. Pino-
teau, Montreal; A. Ihanardel, Toronto.
Secretary and treasurer as before.

The trade exhibition was above the
average. The judges made awards as
follows: A diploma to CampbeU Bros.,
of Simcoe, for gladioli; certificate or
merit to D. J. Sinclair, Toronto, for
florists' supplies; to the Experimental
Farm for perennials; to John Scott,
Brooklyn, for Nephrolepis Scottii. Other
exhibits of note were those of J. Gam-
mage & Sons, London, plants; Grobba &
Wandry, Mimico, plants; Hall & Robin-
son, Montreal; C. Scrim, Ottawa, and
Graham Bros., ferns; Foster Pottery Co.,
Hamilton, pots; F. Browne, Barrie, sweet
peas.

The entertainment of the visitors by
the Ottawa florists is on an elaborate
scale and very hearty.

President's Address.

President Mepsted spoke in part, as
follows:

It is pleasant to compare the meeting
here today with the one held in this hall
five years ago. What an advance we
have made in membership! For a year
or two it was up-hill work, but there
were some members plodded on and the
result is that we are now on a sound,
successful basis, growing each year in
membership and usefulness. Take our
visit to Toronto last year, few of us
would care to los9 the chance of seeing

the Dale Estate as we did in all stages
of building under the King Construc-
tion Co., and the same may apply to all
cities in a more or less degree that we
visit. Again, compare our really good
trade exhibit of today with that of five
years ago: Then two exhibits, now a
very fair number. There is a feeling,
perhaps, that it does not pay, but if not
directly I think it does indirectly and
will do so more year by year.

All this is a preliminary to my saying
that although we are flourishing, we
must not become too confident and there-
fore careless. There is great room for
growth yet, both in membership and use-
fulness. The prosperity of the associa-
tion is to a great degree influenced by
its membership. In numbers ia strength.
All of us must realize that it is our duty
to the C. H. A. to do our utmost to
bring new members to our convention
and once we have them we must do our
best to keep them. When we become
members we should be considered such
until we withdraw. If we miss a conven-
tion, which often means not paying our
dues, we should not be dropped by our
officers, but we should receive a reminder
and many of us would quickly realize
our carelessness and be prompt to send
our dues and glad to feel that we were
yet a member. There should be a strong
effort made to get more gardeners to
join. Their presence and their knowl-
edge is wanted to strengthen us. The
same may be said of other branches.

We are now going the rounds of the
larger cities a second time with our con-
ventions and in the near future I think
an effort should be made to see if our
annual conventions could not be held at
some of the smaller cities. Some of
these would be interesting to visit and
plenty large enough to accommodate a
•convention of our numbers. Horticulture
in them, I have no doubt, would receive
a stimulus in having us visit them. In
conventions like ours there must always
be a certain amount of play or social
■enjoyment. Man is made for it and it is
health-giving, to the brain as well as the
body. In these cities there are one or two
good florists wishing they could have us.
To these it would be a great injustice
to expect the entertainment we are used
to in much larger and wealthier cities,
but I have an idea that it could be ar-
ranged so that no over pride in their
city or reflection on their hospitality
would be felt. If this could be done I
think it would be good for the associa-
tion and for horticulture generally.

I must congratulate the members of
the trade on the prosperous year just
passed. Judging from reports, all
branches of the business have had a good
year, notwithstanding the severe handicap
imposed by the unusually cold winter
which meant largely increased fuel bills.
Prices to the grower have been good and
the public has been willing to pay good
prices for good flowers. This last is par-
ticularly gratifying, as it shows our busi-
ness is gradually getting on a higher
plane.

The plant trade has made rapid strides,
the only drawback being the want of
uniform prices. There is no reason
■why there should not be ; there are not so
many of us in most cities to make it dif-
ficult. The country at present is not
over-producing and for the last two or
three years we have found that the sup-
ply was hardly up to the demand. Could
this be arranged, it would benefit all.

The old subject of duty on azaleas and

The H. B. Beatty Bowling Trophy.

other plants is still open to our discus-
sion, I am afraid we shall find, on hear-
ing the reports, that our case is still in
abeyance. It looks as if the Minister
considers it too small a matter to bother
with; therefore, now is the time for the
C. H. A. by persistently advocating our
claims to convince the Minister that it is
of great consequence to us. There was
an attempt made by a member of the
trade to get the duty taken off new in-
troductions in the way of carnations, etc.,
from the States. This, as they are a
benefit to our country and cannot be
procured in any other way, is a just de-
mand. I have not heard how successful
he was.

I am glad to say the relations between
employer and employe are of a satisfac-
tory nature but there seems to be a scar-
city of good plantsmen, which is a de-
cided disadvantage. I think the em-
ployer is somewhat to blame for this.
All other businesses make their skilled
help from the boys. Why should not we
do so? In some establishments I have
seen it done most successfully. I do not
know of any business that furnishes so
good a field for employment as the flor-
ists' trade.

At the present day, in the horticul-
tural world, the most noticeable subject
is the growing use and popularity of
hardy plants and flowers. It is a subject
the commercial florist has to interest
himself in and with our visit to the Ex-
perimental Farm and Mr. Macoun 's paper
should lead to discussion that will be a
profit to all.

The greatest good that we get from
attending these sessions is from a gen-
eral discussion of the various subjects
as they come up, therefore I hope that
when this convention closes there will not
be one member who has not risen in ses-
sion and spoken on some subject. All
are not orators, and the silent one often
knows a lot. We want to share that
knowledge and to express our ideas here
is only like talking to a family gather-
ing.

FUMIGATING.

I have a house of asters in which the
thrips are doing considerable damage.
As ordinary means have proved imavail-
ing, would it be safe to fumigate with
hydrocyanic acid gast In a recent ar-
ticle on the use of this fumigant you said
that the ventilators should be opened
from the outside, Howf A, A. W,

It would be very risky to try the gas
on a houseful of asters in , bloom. In
quantities strong enough to kill thrips,
it would be very likely to kill the plants
aa well. In regard to raising ventilat-
, ors to let gas escape, two or thre- should
be arranged so that they may be opened
with a rope from the outside. Then,
after one-half hour has elapsed, the house
may be entered and the others opened
in the usual way. It is much more ef-
ficient to use a strong gas for a short
time than a weaker one for a long time.
In most cases, it is not at all advisable
to let the gas stay in the house over
night. E. F. Smith.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

August 11, 1904.

ASTERS AND BOSTONS.

The accompanying illustration is repro-
duced from a photograph taken at the
establishment of Davis Bros., Geneva,
111., July 10. These gentlemen are known
as specialists on the Boston fern but the
picture, which shows only about one-
fourth of their field of 30,000 plants,
proves that their influence on the aster
market in Chicago is not small. They
state, however, that the prospects are
not so good as they might be because of
tne effect of the drouth on the later va-
rieties. The early sorts are" doing all
right but over 10,000 plants of later
varieties were a total loss because of dry
weather.

It has often been predicted that there
would be an oversupply of Boston ferns,
but Davis Bros, report the demand as
good as ever. Last year they grew 50,-
000 in their two places, at Geneva and at
Morrison, 111., and might have sold more.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

The cut flower market is still quiet;
in fact, last week was rather more dull
that its predecessors, the shipping de-
mand on Thursday being reported as the
lightest at any time this season. Good
rosea continue to be actively sought.
The cuts of Beauty are showing some-
thing of an increase and the length of
stem is also gaining and most wants in
this department can now be supplied.
The work of thrips is apparent. There
are few Brides or Bridesmaids with any
size or length of stem. Where a re-
tailer has an order which calls for good
work he has difficulty in obtaining the
material, for all the wholesale houses are
holding on to what good roses they get
for the benefit of their out-of-town cus-
tomers. There are plenty of liberty with
short stems. Few Kaiserins are seen and
they bring good prices. There are few
indoor carnations but the receipts of out-

teriorating. Few lilies are offered other
than auratums, which are not bringing
fancy figures.

Many of the retailers are using water
lilies for their window decorations.
Gladio^ are also largely used, for they
can be had at very reasonable prices and
make a good show. Budbeckias are seen
everywhere. There are all kinds of green
goods in plenty and prices are very low.

To St. Louis.

The Chicago Florists' Club will leave
for St. Louis at 11 a. m., Monday, Aug-
ust 15, on the Wabash, the depot foot of
Dearborn street. A round trip rate of
$8 has been obtained, tickets good for
ten days. There will be parlor cars on
the train, for which the usual extra
eharge of $1 will be made. All those
who are going should notify P. J. Haus-
wirth, either by phone or postal card, in
order that the committee may make ar-
rangements for the accommodation of
all. There will be a good crowd.

Various Notes.

The Chicago daily papers are giving
considerable space to the action of Peter
Eeinberg and Nicholas Mann in provid-
ing a site and the nucleus for the build-
ing fund of a new Catholic church at
Suramerdale, near the greenhouses. The
following is from the Inter Ocean: >»

Alderman Peter Reinberg, known as the "car-
nation king." told "Nick" Mann, his neighbor,
a few months ago that he would give $1,000
In cash for every fifty-foot lot Mann would
give for a new Catholic Church In Summerdale.
Mann thought 150 feet would be enough. Alder-
man Relnberg induced him to raise It to 260
feet, and has given $6,000 toward the building.
Architects are at work on the plans of the
church. The first attair of several to be ar-
ranged for the building fund of the new church
took place Wednesday afternoon and evening.
It was a lawn fete at Alderman Relnberg's resi-
dence, 3468 North Robey street.

The Geo. Wittbold Co. will open a new
and handsomely fitted up retail store at
803 Dempster street, Evanston, with
Wm. Wadsworth in charge. They are re-
modeling their Buckingham place retail

House of Boston Ferns at Davis Bros.', Geneva, IlL

door flowers are increasing and the qual-
ity is fully up to the average for this
class of stock.

The aster continues to be the domin-
ant flower. All colors are now available
in practically all grades, although the
best stock is not plentiful. There are
large quantities of the low grades which
are difficult to move at any price. Stem-
rot and all the other ills the aster is heir
to are reducing the cuts. Sweet peas are
still abundant, but the quality is de-

store, making it thoroughly modern in
every respect. Just at present they are
badly torn up there.

Weiland & Eisch have practically com-
pleted their planting. They are already
getting a nice cut from the young
Beauty plants.

A. Dietsch is enjoying exceptionally
good health this summer. Young Mr.
Dietsch will represent the firm at St.
Louis next week.

Wietor Bros, are getting some good

long-stemmed Beauties, but the weather
is still too hot for large buds.

G. M. Dickinson has been confined to
his home again this week, after being
down town only a couple of times since
the trouble with his throat began. W. E.
Lynch is again on duty after two weeks
of vacation in Michigan.

Mr. and Mrs. O. P. Bassett are at
Lake Geneva for a week.

Oscar Friedman has all arrangements
completed for opening a new store at
Thirty-fifth street and Michigan avenue.

Mrs. A. M. Schafer is sending Percy
Jones a nice cut of Kaiserins.

D. W. Brant is cutting indoor-grown
asters that rival the early mums. The
plants were grown in the propagating
house after the young stock was out of
the way and a good part of the crop has
brought $8 per 100.

Joe Craig lost his eldest son, John,
aged 19, on August 6. The funeral was
held on Tuesday.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

The weather here is very cool. The
thermometer last week was down to 60
degrees, and, according to the daily
press, we were the coolest city on the
map. Just such weather is promised for
convention week.

Business is still slow in all branches
and there is not much to report this
week, as we are all too busy with con-
vention work. There seems to be plenty
of cut stock in all the wholesale houses.
Among the roses Kaiserins are about
the best that come in; also a few good
Carnots are seen. Brides and Maids are
of poor quality. With so little going
on it is hard to dispose of them at any
price and only the extra choice bring
$4 to $5 per 100. Good Beauties are
hard to find. Those that come in are
very poor. Some extra good white car-
nations are seen, but the colored stock is
of very poor quality. The price pc-
100 is 75 cents to $2. Asters are a great
glut. These are selling from $2 to $6
per 1,000 in mixed colors. W. F. Kas-
ting, of Buffalo, is consigning a big lot
to this market, which are of fine qual-
ity. Sweet peas had a good season, but
are about over. The average price for
them was fairly good. Gladioli, too, are
a drug. Many of them are sold cheap
for window decorations. All other out-
door stock is selling slowly. Good val-
ley and smilax are still to be had.

Convention Notes.

Nothing but convention is heard among
the craft and the reports from the dif-
ferent chairmen at a recent meeting are
as follows:

Fred Ammann says that his commit-
tee has everything complete. This com-
mittee will receive the visiting S. A. F.
delegates at the Union Station from
Monday morning to Tuesday noon to es-
cort them to their hotels, so look out for
reception committee badges when you
arrive.

The writer has charge of the Presi-
dent's reception and has a big surprise
in store. Those who fail to attend will
miss a great treat.

Fred C. Weber and his committee, as-
sisted by the Ladies' Bowling Club, have
completed all arrangements to take care
of all the visiting ladies on Wednosd -y,
the day set aside for them. This will
be one of the features of the mee'irg.

men of the bowling and shooting com-
mittees, are hard at work at this writ-
ing, completing all their arrangements,
which they say will eclipse any attempt
at former meetings.

Henry Ostertag's decorating commit-
tee will be at work by the end of this
week, decorating both halls. This com-
mittee are all experts at the art of dec-
orating and something fine may be ex-
pected.

Superintendent Kuehn and his assist-
ant, Mr. Meinhardt, are spending most
of their time at the exhibition hall, re-
ceiving exhibition goods. Everything is
in readiness for the exhibitors and most
of them have sent word that they would
be here on Saturday to begin work on
their exhibits.

Secretary Stewart, of the S. A. F.,
in a letter writes that he will be here
on Sunday night and will be at the
convention hall early Monday morning.

The finance committee, of which Otto
Koenig is chairman, has completed its
work. They report that they have plenty
of funds on hand for all expenses, which
is a very important matter.

Frank Ellis is working overtime with
his hotel committee, but they are equal
to the task and all applications for
rooms are promptly complied with. As
Mr. Ellis says, "They can't come too
fast for us."

The souvenir book is out and now in
the hands of the S. A. F. members. If
anyone is overlooked, he should advise

BUFFALO.

There is nothing in the business here
worthy of much moment, yet it is fully
equal to, perhaps a little ahead of, cor-
responding periods of other years. Our
climate is so salubrious, enjoyable and
invigorating that everyone feels good.
No heat prostrations and no mosquitoes.

John Esler, of Saddle Kiver, N. J., was
telling me, in a letter last week, that he
had a Buffalo friend staying with him
over night recently. On inquiring how
he slept, the Buffalo man said: "Nice-
ly, but what a lot of automobiles you
have here. They were passing all
night." John replied, "My dear sir,
they were not automobiles; they were
mosquitoes. ' '

Carnations are at the very lowest point.
It is just as well; it gives the public a
rest. Asters are in abundance. Sweet
peas are still fine and in good demand,
and what glorious shades of color we
have in them now! I suppose we owe
this largely to Mr. Eckford, whom the
writer, then a little boy of 10 or 12
years, knew very well, when Mr. Eckford
was a fine, broad-shouldered young man,
gardener to a Dr. Martin, a* pioneer in
dentistry, at a pretty place called Pur-

Asters at the Establishment of Davis Bros,, Geneva, IlL

brook, in the county of Hants. Dr. Mar-
tin would look in your mouth for $5, pull
a tooth for $10, or supply an artificial
one for $50, or a whole set for $1,000.
No wonder he could keep a first-class
gardener. But excuse my being remin-
iscent; 'tis but a falling of the sunset
of life.

There are so few gladioli grown locally
that we are never overdone. A flower
that is most useful now is the lancifolium
lily. The auratum is used in large de-
signs, where taste and smell are not too
fastidious, but the album and roseum are
beautiful anywhere you put them. Louis
H. Neubeck, in his most attractive place,
has a fine show of these lilies.

There is not much building going on,
but a good deal of fixing up. S. A.
Anderson is making great changes in his
admirably located store, which, when
completed, is expected to be "a gem of
purest ray serene." H. Keitsch & Son
are having a new store especially fixed
and adapted for their business.

Among the visitors of recent date who
favored us with a call was Mr. Kclsey,
of South Orange, importer of trees and
shrubs. Mr. Kelsey spent last summer
in Europe, comparing the landscape art
of England and the continent with that
of the United States and it is inspiring
to hear him say that our native but trav-
eled artists will evolve a style embrac-
ing the best of European, yet distinct-
ive and superior to any. This is most
joyful to hear and it means the employ-
ment of thousands of men of skill as
well as labor, the exercise of art and
the "beautifying of our country. How
can a man whom fortune has favored,
spend his wealth better than by turning
the Avilderness into a place of beauty f
Where there was one such place twenty-
five years ago, there are today 100 and
they are ever on the increase. Fifty
acres of beautiful grounds is a better
educator than the study of the dead
languages.

Mr. Creighton, of the Henry Dreer
Co., called on his passage to the Mis-
sissippi, also namesake Scott, of Chicago,
who has just finished seeing that the
firm 's Bermuda lilies were properly dug
and packed.

Our club had a fairly well attended

meeting last week. Our delegation will
leave for St. Louis on the Wabash, Mon-
day, at 1:30 p. m., arriving in St. Louis
about 8 a. m. Tuesday. We are trying
hard to get a bowling team together
but, if we succeed, will scarcely be a
competitor. It will be made up of " has
beens" and "never wases. " As the
writer has often said, it's the duty of all
florists who possibly can to attend these
national conventions. You do not re-
alize, many of you, how much our good
society has done for you all, and if at-
tendance demands self-sacrifice you
could not exercise it at a better time.
The man who says "The S. A. F. don't
do me any good" is blind, ignorant and
selfish. He has been a beneficiary of its
usefulness and good work for a number
of years, but too bigoted to see the truth.
Then there's the mammoth exposition.
If you only spend two or three hours
within its gates, as the writer expects to,
it's a great satisfaction in years to come
to be able to say, "Oh, yes, I saw the
St. Louis Fair. ' ' However, big as it is,
I consider it very secondary to attend-
ing out national convention, reviving old
acquaintances and making new ones.

The H. A. Meldrum Co. has liberally
added more dollars to their chrysanthe-
mum exhibition and the premium list has
been published and mailed by Manager
Keitsch to all likely exhibitors.

The Kasting Cup.
Just had a look at the Kasting cham-
pion challenge cup. It is a beauty! It
is a startler! It is a darling! The
finest thing we have ever seen, worthy of
the most fierce fight. W. S.

Medina, O. — Hammerschmidt & Clark
are completing one of the best built
greenhouses in Ohio, one room 36x27 and
three rooms 10x36. Carnations in the field
are fine and housing under way.

Des Moines, Iowa. — Lizzie Brandt-
man and George E. Brandtman have
given a chattel mortgage covering green-
houses and greenhouse stocks, located in
Grant Park, to H. M. Rollins to secure
a claim of $3,056.47.

The instruction in the last Review
alone pays me for many years ' subscrip-
tion.—S, Dumber, Elgin, 111.

BOSTON.

The Market

Conditions remain much the same as
in our last report and prices are not
greatly changed. Good roses continue
scarce. Beauties bring up to $20 per
100 and top price on Kaiserins is $8.
Brides and Bridesmaids are small, $2
to $3 being about the. average. Good
outdoor carnations continue to sell at
$2. The supply of indoor ones is about
over. Asters are more abundant, but
clear out well, especially the white
varieties, at 75 cents. Gladioli are
good, at $2 to $6. Sweet peas are
scarce for good quality, of which many
more could be sold. Valley sells well,
Fine quality, such as Waban Conserva-
tories send in, brings up to $6. The
principal scarcity in the market con-
tinues to be in white flowers.

Liliam Philippense.

The most remarkable exhibit at Hor-
ticultural Hall on August 6 was a dis-
play of the beautiful Lilium Philip-
pense (Farquhar's Christmas lily) from
R. & J. Farquhar & Co. This lily was
first introduced by Wallis and for-
warded by him to Veitch & Sons, of
London, in 1873. It is described in the
Botanical Magazine, No. 6250. It is
not now catalogued by any European
firm. Messrs. Farquhar received a few
small bulbs last November in a very
dried up condition. These bulbs were
placed in a frame and when lifted for
forcing were frozen solidly. After prov-
ing the merits of the lily, a traveler was
dispatched for a larger supply. These
arrived on May 29 and were benched the
following day. As the bulbs are very
small for so superb a lily, they were
planted in benches in a warm, moist
house, two inches between the bulbs and
four inches between the rows. The first
buda showed on July 1 and a number of
flowers were cut on July 30. Bulbs no
larger than filberts flower and Messrs.
Farquhar have quantities of seedlings
which they say will flower in from six
to nine months from sowing.

Lilium Philippense is a native of the
island of Benguetense, Philippines,
growing at an elevation of about 10,000
feet. The rainfall in June there is
thirty inches. The stems are slender
but sufficiently strong to support the
large, pure white, trumpet-shaped flow-
ers, which are ten inches in length. The
odor is very pleasant, resembling that of
Brugmansia suaveolens. From one to
three flowers were carried on the stems
exhibited, which ' were from nine to
twenty-four inches high. The foliage
is narrow, leaves loosely scattered down
the stem, not unlike that of Dracaena
indivisa. The plant is much more grace-
ful than Lilium Harrisii or . L. longi-
florum and its remarkable ease of propa-
gation by seeds or scales will, we venture
to say, in time revolutionize the lily in-
dustry. This is the most remarkable
novelty shown before the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society for years and we
believe the unanimous bestowal of the
society's highest award, a gold medal,
was well deserved. Messrs. Farquhar
have about 10,000 bulbs of this lilv at
present. It will be introduced not later
than 1905.

Weekly Ezhihitioa.

Perennial phloxes made a large dis-
play but the trusses were hardly so good

as usual. For twelve named varieties
prizes went to Blue Hill Nurseries, W.
AVhitman, T. C. Thurlow and Geo. Hollis
ill order named. Some fine seedlings were
shown by Blue Hill Nurseries, honorable
mention being given to Daybreak and a
fine dark red variety. F. L. Ames es-
tate, W. N. Craig, gardener, received a
cultural certificate for display of phloxes,
also honorable mention for seedling No.
3. Xh© same exhibitor received a cer-
tificate of merit for Behmannia angulata,
a new hardy herbaceous perennial from
central China, with large gloxinia-like,
rosy purple flowers. Messrs. Heurlin, Mc-
Laren, Thurlow, Mrs. E. M. Gill and
Mrs. J. B. Lawrence all made fine dis-
plays of phlox, the latter lady also stag-
ing thirty varieties of sweet peas. W.
Whitman made a large general display.
Robert Cameron received a silver medal
for a beautifully flowered specimen of
Pancratium oyatum. Peter Cairns
showed Strelitzia Reginaj and Monstera
deliciosa, and F, S. Davis a new white
dolichos from Japan.

There was a large display in the class
for forty native plants, prizes going, in
order named, to Mrs. Arthur Clark, Miss
Shattuck, Mrs. R. L. Mann, The Misses
Doran and Miss K. Buitta. Vegetables
and fruits made an interesting display
and about 100 varieties of fungi were
staged.

Vai ious Notes.

Francis Canning, in charge of the hor-
ticultural department of the Massachu-
setts Agricultural College, at Amherst,
Mass., accompanied by Mrs. Canning,
has been spending a few days in Bos-
ton and vicinity, looking over a number
of the leading establishments.

Duncan Knlayson left for Washington
on August 6 and will later go to St.
Ijouis to take in the World's Fair and
otlier sights.

The executive committee of the Gar-
deners ' and Florists ' Club met on August
8, at the oflice of W. J. Stewart, to se-
lect a date for the club excursion and
make plans for fall work.

Hitchings & Co. have recently re-
ceived contracts to build greenhouses for
R. M. Saltonstall, in Brookline, and C.
R. Talbet, Chestnut Hill. They report
a busy season.

Carnations are being , busily housed
these days at almost every jJace visited.
Plants look well, being of good average
size.

The visit of the G, A. R, and decora-
tions for the various posts, as well as
social gatherings, is expected to give
some stimulus to trade next week.

At Soutli Lancaster.

A visit to South Lancaster, where are
located some of the finest private estates
in Massachusetts, is always full of in-
terest to either private or commercial
growers. A ten-minutes' run on the
electrics from Clinton station drops us
at the greenhouses of E. V. R. Thayer,
where E. O. Orpet has charge. Orchids
are a special feature here and are well
done. Seedling raising is more success-
fully carried out than elsewhere in
America, particularly among cattleyas.
Numerous gold and silver medals and
other ^awards have been given to these
at the Boston shows. Many hundreds of
seedlings, .representing scores of distinct
crosses, are to be noted here, plants vary-
ing in size from microscopic ones to big
specimens in tubs. All are in luxuriant

health. Odontogiossums arc classed as
diflicult orchids to handle, but for the
past few seasons Mr. Orpet has had
signal success in their culture. His fin-
est plants are in 8-inch pots or pans and
specimens of O. crispu^a carried spikes
three feet long last spring. During the
winter months these plants are given a
moderately warm, sunny house, and a
north house during the warm months.
Good batches of dendrobiums, coelogynes
and cypripediums, chiefly of the yellow
insigne type, were noteid. All orchids
here are grown in pure osmunda fibre;
no leaf-mold is now used, it having been
tried and abandoned. The Cookson for-
mula is successfully used as a stimu-
lant for all orchids.

In the fruit houses grapes and nectar-
ines were carrying good crops. Melons
are grown in several divisions, Eureka,
Emerald Gem and Outrement Beauty
being the favorites. Carnations just
housed were strong and vigorous, En-
chantress, i'lamingo. Queen and Lawson
being most largely grown. A batch
of Campanula isophylla alba in bloom
in one of the houses indicated the value
of this half hardy perennial for the flor-
ists' trade. A large, new, old-fashioned
flower garden has just been established
here and Mr. Orpet has done lots of
planting the past season.

A. P. Meredith presides over the gar-
dens of Nathaniel Thayer. He had been
very busy planting until June, several
thousand hybrid rhododendrons being in-
cluded. These will eventually be a fine
feature along the new waterways being
developed on this fine estate. In the
greenhouses stock looked well. The large
rose house contained a fine lot of stock.
Beauties being especially good. An addi-
tional house is devoted to Beauties for
summer flowering and some fine flowers
are now being cut. A house of cattleyas
contained a lot of strong plants begin-
ning to bristle with sheatlies. A small
batch of newly imported Odontqglossum
crispum Mas a starter in the culture of
this queen of orchids. Chrysanthemums,
both grown to single stems and speci-
mens in pots; cyclamens, Gloire de Lor-
raine begonia, gardenias, etc., all
looked well. Melons fillea four divisions
and carried fine crops. English varie-
ties only are grown, Windsor Castle seem-
ing to suit Mr. Meredith as well as any.

William Anderson has a fine range of
glass on the Bayard Thayer estate and
we found his stock in fine condition.
Roses are largely grown here. Beauty,
Liberty, Bride and Bridesmaid being the
favorites. The first named were particu-
larly robust. In the carnation house.
Governor Wolcott and Enchantress are
the two favorite varieties. Mr. Ander-
son says Wolcott is very satisfactory as
a winter bloomer, splitting a little in
spring. A house 20x80 is devoted to
peaches and nectarines. The first division
had been cleared, but the late one car-
ried a splendid crop of handsome fruit.
A similar sized house is filled with
grapes. These also carrie<l a good crop
of fruit, berries and bunches being over
the average. Gros Colman, Muscat of
Alexandria, Black Hamburg, Lady
Downe's Seedling and Barbarossa were
fine. A large frame of cyclamens were
noted in fine condition. The cattleya
house contains some superb specimens.
Mr. Anderson thinks the addition of a
little sphagnum to the fern fibre gives
added vigor to his plants. A pond of
choice nymplweas and other aquatics was

August 11, 1904.

in itself worthy of a visit. Around the
new mansion recently erected on a high
eminence, many thousands of trees and
shrubs have recently been planted and
vistas cut through the extensive woods
to open up choice scenery. This estate
promises, when developed, to be second to
none in the state.

At John E. Thayer's we found Mr.
Clarke as busy as ever making improve-
ments. In the houses chrysanthemums
were good. Preparations were being
made to' house carnations, which looked
well in the field. Gloire de Lorraine be-
gonia is something Mr. Clarke always
does well and a bench of this looked very
thrifty. Orchids are not much grown
here, but calanthes have recently come
into favor. Some large specimens of
Ncphrolepis Piersoni Avere exceedingly
well grown. Outdoors the large kitchen
garden looked trim and crops luxuriant.
A new flower garden .is an interesting
feature and many fine specimens of trees
and shrubs are dotted about the lawns
and grounds. W. JL-6^IG.

NEW YORK,

The Market.

Prices have a downward tendency, when
there is any tendency at all. The amount
of stock arriving is in advance of other
years, but a microscope is necessary to
find any quality in the most of it. Gla-
dioli are everywhere. There seems to be
no limit to them, nor bottom to their
value, while the creation of a demand is
so remote that one could safely offer a
large reward for its detection, i^ut "it's
a long lane that has no turn," and the
coming fall and winter will be the best
the florists of this country have enjoyed
in a generation.

Various Notes.

Mr. Eeed, of Keed & Keller, is off for
St. Louis this week to arrange his dis-
play. He has one of the best locations
in the big hall and a great collection of
novelties and inventions in tho supply
line.

Henry Rudolph, the primrose special-
ist, of Caldwell, N. J., was in town last
week. He is doing considerable rebuild-
ing this season. Jos. Fenrich handles
his output in New York.

Frank Miillang has postponed his visit
to his ranch in Oregon until next sum-
mer, so as to see the big exposition at
Portland at the same time.

Charles and August Millang are hav-
ing their summer vacations at Bayside,
L. I., as usual.

Wholesalers have a grievance in the
holding and destruction of boxes by the
retailers. Hundreds are lost every month.
Many are not seen for a year and the
result will have to be a cheap box which
can be thrown way. In England, at
Covent Garden, the boxes are always
charged for.

William Hackland, of the New York
Cut Flower Co., leaves August 15 for a
two weeks' vacation in the Adirondacks.

John Nash, of Moore, Hentz & Nash,
is spending three weeks with his family
at Highland Mills, N. Y.

Young & Nugent are making extensive
improvements in their store, putting in a
new front, changing and refitting the
oflace and preparing for big fall and win-
ter business.

The Hinode Floral Co. 'a new green-
houses are rapidly approaching comple-
tion. They are preparing for an im-

mense lily demand and their constantly
renewed stock of dwarf Japanese trees
has grown constantly in popularity.

N. LeCakes is well pleased with his re-
moval of headquarters to Twenty-eighth
street.

Lion & Wertheimer will be represented
at the convention, not only by a fine ex-
hibit, but several members of the firm
will be in attendance.

Alex. McConnell has had a busy week
with weddings and funeral designs, some
of the latter being of especial beauty.
For the obsequies of W. L. Browning,
head of the firm of Browning, King &
Co., a design of sago leaves and orchids
and an immense cross of lilies seven feet
in height and a six-foot wreath were spe-
cially commendable. The Bayne-Johnson
wedding decorations at Grace church re-
ceived much favorable comment. The
bride's bouquet of white orchids and val-
ley with garlands of stephanotis was
beautiful and unique, and the palm dis-
play in keeping with the firm's thirty-
two years of metropolitan reputation.

Alex. McConnell has a fine assortment
of evergreens at his nursery in New
Bochelle and some grand stock, at the
city store, of large Hydrangea Hortensia
in full bloom. In the greenhouses are
large imported orange trees from Paris,
tub grown and full fruit, the largest ever
brought to this country.

Julius Roehrs has started on his annual
tour in Europe, which will probably ex-
tend into October. In his absence his es-
tablishment at Rutherford is in good
hands, Julius, Jr., superintending the
business.

Albert Wadley started a week ago for
California in greatly improved health
and will spend several weeks on the
coast.

Geo. M. Geraghty lias just passed
through a three weeks' illness with ap-
j)endicitis and will recuperate at Rocka-
way, where he has been camping for the
summer.

John Scott has a beautiful exhibit of
his Scottii ready for shipment to the con-
vention and will personally superintend
the exhibition. The fern is popular with
all the large growers in and around New
York and the retailers have placed orders
for it in large quantities for October de-
livery. Mr. Dryer has a house of it that
looks grand and Chas. Zeller, David Mel-
lis and all the fern growers of Flatbush
seem to think it is the commercial fern
par excellence.

The New York convention entry will
be somewhat short of anticipated num-
bers as many exhibitors have gone to St.
Louis in advance to install their displays.
Nevertheless a goodly representation will
be on hand on Sunday morning, and with
the Baltimore and Washington delega-
tions joining us, there will be the usual
merry party that always characterizes the
union of these fraternal organizations.
The invitation of the Washington florists
for 1905 receives the endorsement of the
Now Yorkers to a man.

John J. Esler, the hail man, is one of
the advance guard from the east. He is
investigating the Pike, that he may ad-
vise the young conventionists of dangers
in time for safety.

John H. Taylor, of Bayside, was mar-
ried July 28 to Miss Susan S. Stowe, at
Flushing, N. Y. Mr. Taylor is popular
in the trade and his reputation as a rose
grower is national, so there is no limit
to the congratulations.

A more liberal body of men than the
New York wholesalers would be hard to

find, always generous and considerate.
They have been especially so this season
in granting vacations to their employees,
so that all have been fully refreshed for
the coming season, which, based on the
law of averages, and after the dullest
summer ever known, should be the great-
est fall and winter in the cut flower busi-
ness in the decade.

George Cotsonas & Co., the green goodS'
men, now at 53 West Twenty-eighth
street, will move October 1 to their new
store, 45 West Twenty-ninth street.

Mrs. Samuel Henshaw is visiting this
summer at her old home in England,
while her youthful spouse is gardening
at his summer home in New Brighton and
giving no more evidence of his seventy or
more years of devotion to horticulture
than a boy of twenty.

Sigmund Geller has some fine novelties
in the supply line among his personal
European selections this season. He re-
ports trade opening excellently for fall
and will be too busy to make his annual
visit and exhibit at the S. A. F. conven-
tion.

Hanfling & Kleppner, the florists ' sup-
ply men, 114 West Twenty-eighth street,
will have a nice exhibit of their manu-
factures at the St. Louis convention.
They have some fine basket specialties.

A. T. Boddington or Mr. Begbie will
be at St. Louis in charge of that firm's
exhibits of bulbs.

Slinn & Hughes have moved into their
new quarters in the Coogan building.
J. Austin Shaw.

CINCINNATI.

The Market.

Business is holding out quite well and,
taking everything into consideration, we
have no kick coming. The demand for
the better grade of flowers is good and
there is not enough of this class to fill all
orders. Beauties arc coming in fairly
large numbers and of nice quality for
this time of the year. They sell well at
the rate of $1 per foot of stem. Other
roses are rather scarce and the quality
is nothing to brag on. Some of them
are being cut from new stock and they
bid fair to be fine shortly. Carnations
are also scarce and sell well. Some of
them are still of very good quality. Some
fine gladioli are to be had at $3 per 100.
There is a good supply of green stock of
all kinds.

Various Notes.

The S. A. F. convention is now the
main topic of conversation among the
craft. There will be a good-sized delega-
tion from this city. All the old timers
are going, together with many new ones
who will take in the convention and the
World's Fair at the same time.

Geo. Tromey, head hustler, at Fred
Gear's establishment, has been in a hos-
pital undergoing an operation. He is
much improved at present and hopes to be
out in a few days.

Albert Miller and F. Kyrk are spend-
ing their vacation in St. Louis.

Mrs. Julius Baer and son are at
French Lick Springs, Ind. J. O'MalJey
is also there.

L. H. Kyrk is spending his spare time
at the Y. M. C. A. camp on the Miami
river.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

August 11, 1904.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market

There is more business in the cut flower
centers of late. Flowers are more plenti-
ful. Funeral orders form the bulk of the
work. Some of these have been quite
large. Carnations continue scarce. As-
ters are more plentiful but very poor in
quality, as a rule. Boses are improv-
ing, especially American Beauties. The
street had it that Charles E. Meehan
told Leo Niessen he had better make
hay while the sun shone, by which he
was understood to mean that the Chest-
nut Hill Beauties would soon compete
with those from Newport. John Burton
and Meyers & Samtman are both cut-
ting again. Robert Scott & Son are
sending in some splendid, long-stemmed
blooms to S. S. Pennock and Edw. Eeid.
Gladioli are very plentiful. There is a
fair supply of fine valley and there are
a few cattleyas.

Kentias at Wyncote.

Joseph Heacock has as pretty a lot
of kentias at his place at Wyncote as
one could wish to see. Eumors of their
number and quality had been flying about
for some time. When John Savage and
Phil saw them early this week, they pre-
sented a truly magnificent sight. Five
immense houses, besides several smaller
ones, were almost entirely filled with ken-
tias, all in superb condition, looking
strong enough to stand anything. Mr.
Heacock believes in giving his kentias
plenty of air and plenty of room. That
they like this treatment their rich green
foliage and perfect shape abundantly
prove.

All sizes are here in force, from the
little fellows in seed boxes and benches
to the made-up specimens in 12-inch pots
that are as fine as skillful culture can
make them. The medium sizes are very
fine. K. Belmoreana exceeds K. Forster-
iana in numbers. A block of the latter
variety in 8-inch pots are being reserved
for making up in 12-inch pots, three
smaller plants being used around each 8-
inch. The kentias all appeared perfectly
clean. No washing has ever been neces-
sary, just the hose scientifically used.
Besides kentias, Mr. Heacock has some
Areca lutoscens, Cocos Weddeliana,
Cibotium Schiedei and Nephrolepis exal-
tata Bostoniensis,

The Beauty houses were in excellent
condition. One house in solid beds in
its third year, cut back hard, was full
of heavy shoots soon likely to tempt the
cutting knife. The most forward of the
houses of young stock was nearly as far
advanced and all were full of breaks from
the lower eyes. There was a house each
of Brides and Maids in good shape and
one of Liberty, lifted plants just getting
away.

The carnations were brought in from
the field and planted in the houses, still
shaded last week. The varieties grown
are "White Cloud, Joost, Melba, Mrs.
Lawson and Enchantress, all nice stocky
stuff.

Gtmp Hill.

G. C. Watson piloted some twenty-
five gardeners and florists out to Camp
Hill last Saturday in response to the
invitation of Thomas B. Meehan to visit
his nursery at Dreshertown. Mr. Meehan
received his guests at the railway sta-
tion with a cordial welcome. Two
large four-horse wagons took the party

through some pretty country to the
nursery, about three miles away.

Here an excellent lunch of sandwiches,
salad and cream, well irrigated, received
due, attention. Then the party again
mounted the seats on the wagons and
drove around the great nursery, which
lies in the beautiful White Marsh valley.
The whole place was in splendid condi-
tion, the quality and variety of the stock
and the neatness of the grounds eliciting
many words of praise.

Next came the serious business of the
afternoon, a cricket match between John
Gardiner's Montgomery county eleven
and an eleven selected from the gardeners
and florists of P. F. C. The wicket was
not in favor of run getting, Montgomery
county, who had scored a clever victory
over an eleven of the M. C. C. the day
before, winning by a score of 50 to 27.
After a little more irrigation, made nec-
essary by their exertions, the two elevens
were driven back to Camp Hill station
after a delightful afternoon.

Mr. Meehan 's guests were: S. Adel-
berger, Samuel Batchelor, John Burton,
George Burton, Edward Campbell. Wm.
Carey, Edward Clang, C. W. Cox, George
Craig, C. E. Dodds, Frank Ewing, John
Fowler, John C. Gardiner, George Gard-
iner, Neil Gardiner, J. Hallowell, Alfred
Hardy, Eobert Kift, Wm. Lord, Edwin
Lonsdale, Thomas Eoberts, Wm. Bobert-
son, David Bust, W. J. Stewart, John
Thatcher, G. C. Watson, John Westcott
and Phil.

The Dreshertown Nursery was started
ten years ago, when the firm of Thomas
Meehan & Sons bought fifty odd acres
of ground as a wholesale department for
their Germantown nursery. Farms have
been added during the past five years
until today they have 216 acres, all
planted. They do a wholesale business
with growers, landscape gardeners, parks
and cemeteries. The regular force con-
sists of thirty-five men, but in the busy
season an additional force of seventy-five
men is added. These are kept on until
all orders are filled, then some are re-
leased, the rest staying for the planting
and first ground cleaning. After that
is done the force is reduced to its regular
size. Ten horses are kept at work plow-
ing and cultivating the rows alternately.
There is a big packing shed through
which the big teams can drive. The ship-
ping station, Dresher, on the Trenton cut
off, is only three minutes distant.

Bowling;.

The new competition for places on the
team to represent our champion club at
St. Louis, was begun on the alleys in
Horticultural Hall last Thursday even-
ing. Ten players, S. Adelberger, George
Anderson, Wm. J. Baker, D. T. Connor,
George Craig, Samuel Dunlap, Fred
Ehret, W. E. Gibson. Eobt. Kift and
Wm. Bobertson, competed. They will
roll fifteen games each, finishing scarcely
two days before they are scheduled to
start for Missouri.

Rural Notes.

Martin Bichardson has an addition to
-his family. It is a baby boy, weighs
nine and a quarter pounds with not a
hair on its head. Martin is very pleased.
So are we. There have been awfully few
babies hereabouts in these hard times
and you can't make much out of rural
notes without babies to talk about.

George Howard and Frank White had
a full holiday on the Fourth, so in honor
of the day they sent up a big balloon
and on it fastened a post card addressed
to the Boss asking the finder to give
place and time balloon came down. The
balloon set fire to a fellow's chicken
house and frightened his cow so it won't
milk. The fellow has been to see the
Boss three times about it and wants $25
damages.

The boss had given Sambo a holiday..
The plants were all delivered, the wagon
had gone to the shop, the gray mare to
the pasture, and Sambo was on his way
to see his folks in Maryland. As the
train entered his native state. Sambo
was surprised to see the conductor post
the sign "Colored" in his ear and order
all the fine white folks out into the next
car, which was old and dirty, where they
were crowded together like sheep, while
he, poor Sambo, had a brand new car all
to himself like a railroad president or
an orchid grower. Such are the beau-
ties of the "Jim Crow Act."

ThcWcckly Florists* Review.

AcouST 11, 1904.

PACIFIC COAST.

SAN FRANOSCX).

The Market.

The aster season is at hand and,
although the flowers axe not yet in their
greatest profusion, they are coming into
town in goodly quantities. They are
reasonably cheap, but will be lower in
price in the course of a week or so. Now
that this flower has come to remain a few
weeks the strain is taken off the demand
for carnations and other flowers and
they have dropped somewhat in price.
Many of the growers are making arrange-
ments to replant their houses and there is
no profusion of either roses or pinks. Of
the former the price remains about the
same as quoted last week, with only a
fair amount of stock offered. Outdoor
stuff of all kinds is plentiful, although
sweet peas are beginning to be shorter in
the stem. Lilium album and rubrum are
in good demand and a few longiflorums
are seen. Valley is plentiful and is sell-
ing at about $5 per hundred. Business is
only fair. We have had some wedding
decorating and a little spurt of funeral
work during the past week.

Various Notes.

Last week the street corner sellers of
flowers won another point in the fight
commenced by Frank 8hibeley in behalf
of the Retail Florists ' Association to put
the basket venders out of business. Judge
Sloss refused to grant the injunction
asked by the florists to prevent the city
authorities from granting permits to the
street flower sellers. In the application
for an injunction the retailers declare
that the basket men are nuisances and
that unless the injunction against them
is granted, individual arrests will be
made through the police department,

John Vallance, of the Cox Seed Com-
pany, has just returned from a two
weeks' vacation spent at his ranch at
, Idvermore.

Capt. Emil Kellner, for fourteen years
head gardener at the State University at
Berkeley, died at the Fabiola Hospital
on Tuesday of last week. He was a vet-
eran of the civil war and well known to
the gardening fraternity on this coast.

Professor Hugo De Vries, the Dutch
botanist is at present touring California
and studying our methods regarding hor-
ticulture and agriculture. He spent a
portion of this week inspecting the Morse
seed farms near San Jose.

A farewell banquet is to be given
during the coming week at the Palace
Hotel in honor of Alexander Craw, lat

commissioners, prior to his departure for
the Hawaiian Islands.

THE ROOTS OF SHADE TEEfS.

An interesting case is being fought at
present in the Alameda county courts, be-
tween the town of Oakland and some of
the property owners who have had shade
trees planted in front of their places by
the municipality. One of the disgruntled
parties cut down several of the trees in
front of his premises, for which he was
promptly arrested. He maintained that
the trees were a nuisance in that they
destroyed cement sidewalks and choked

up sewers. The variety of tree in this
particular instance was the white elm.

The white elm I have not found to be
harmful, either from its roots following
up sources of moisture or from overturn-
ing cement sidewalks. Under ordinary
conditions it does not root deeply, nor is
it inclined to sucker badly unless the tree
has been abused through too violent
pruning or from an accidental loss of too
many branches. It is not as liable to
break through a sidewalk as is the cork-
bark elm, but there should be no difficulty
with either of them if the suckers that
come up through the ground are kept cut
down for the first couple of years. After
that, unless the tree gets badly broken,
there will be no trouble.

People here have become prejudiced
against large trees in general on account
of the tendency the eucaJyptus has of
foUowing for long distances a few drops
of water and growing in through the
minute holes in a sewer pipe. In a
couple of years they completely fill it and
destroy its usefulness. The eucalyptus
was planted along sidewalks here in
great quantities years ago, and on ac-
count of its bad actions with the town
sewers they are no longer planted in this
immediate vicinity. We are planting
great quantities of white maple and,
although this family of trees roots well
down in the soil, I have seen no ill effects
in drain pipes and no suckering. Poplars
do not root as deeply as the maple and
will not harbor any root-shoots unless the
tree itself is badly handled. Locusts
have long roots and are fond of water,
hut r have seen no instances where they
have damaged sewers.

In evergreen trees, Acacia melonxylon
sends its roots well dowTi in the soil and
is a gross feeder, which fact is true of all
the acacia family. The Monterey cypress
and pine do not root deeply and never
sucker, but they spread their fibrous roots
well over the surface of the surrounding
country in their search for moisture. The
sycamore, ash, black walnut, linden, red
maple, tulip poplar, birch, horse chestnut
or mulberry are not destructive to sewer
system, which fact I have proven by hav-
ing them growing within twenty-five feet
of a drain pipe that has been laid for
upwards of twenty years, and is still in
perfect working order. Of course, we
have a long, dry summer in California,
and all trees naturally hunt for moisture,
but excepting with the eucalyptus family
I have had no trouble. Eegarding suck-
ering, if any shoots that may appear are
cut off at the same time the weeds are
hoed out they never make their appear-
ance after the second year, providing, of
course, the ttee is not mutilated so much
that it makes aa effort to keep growing
by suckering from the ground. G.

The Market.

Business is quite satisfactory, every-
thing considered. Some days the demand
is good, succeeded by an extremely dull
day, as is usual during July and August.
At this writing there are too many roses
of most all kinds. Especially is this
true with Maman Cochet. Asters were a
glut last week but are coming less freely
now. Fisher carnations are not selling
very well and are plentiful. Very few
indoor carnations are to be had and
bring from 75 cents to $1.25 per 100;
outdoor stock brings 50 to 75 cents.
Other prices are: Cochet roses $1.50 to
$2 per 100; Gates, Maids, Kaiserins,
Ivory, $2 to $4; gladioli, $2 to $4; asters
35 to 75 cents.

Various Notes.

Misses Matilda and Bosa Held have re-
turned from a three weeks' stay at At-
lantic City. Their mother and sister,
Lena, are on their vacation at the same
city.

Miss Alice Graham, who was operated
on a few weeks ago for appendicitis, is
speedily recovering.

Mrs. Henry Fischer is at the City
hospital, having also been operated on
for appendicitis last Saturday. She is
said to be improving and hopes for her
recovery are entertained.

Mrs. Kate Patterson will leave Wed-
nesday for an extended western trip.

S. TJhlfelder & Co. have discontinued
business. Mr. TJhlfelder expects to open
anothjer store in the ne^p future.

Very few of the florists are going to
the 8. A. F. convention at St. Louis.
Those who will go expect to leave Sat-
urday evening.

R. Vincent and his son, Thomas, left
Monday for New York. They will con-
tinue further and finally wind up at St.
Louis in time for the convention, ,

A. F.

Pekin, III. — Everything at Kuhl's

of the year and he has an extra large
stock of ferns of all kinds and all sizes.
Mr. Dusenberry, foreman of the rose de-

More and more are planters discover-
ing that ' ' cheap ' ' nursery stock is
dearest in the end.

The states of Oregon and Washington
are making rapid progress in fruit
growing, and nursery business is good
there.

The landscape departments of the
leading nurseries were valuable adjuncts
the past season and will prove even more
profitable as the wealth of the country
increases.

If an oak is pruned severely when
transplanted it recovers quicUy and
makes a fairly rapid growth. The repu-
tation for slow growth is a libel upon
this most valuable tree.

The Swain Nelson Sons' Co., Chicago,
has been incorporated with $20,000 capi-
tal stock to do a general nursery and
florists' business. The incorporators are
Seymour G. and A. E. Nelson and A. L.

Mildew on garden roses may be com-

POAT Bros., Ettrick, Va., report a good

The dry weather in North Carolina

third.

The W. S. Gilbreath Seed Co., Indian-

Veey hot, dry weather in the Quedlin-
burg district, in France, and in England,
in July did considerable damage to crops
for seed, but good rains came in season
to avert disaster.

A VEEY serious hurt has been done the
past week to the cucumber seed crops in
southern Michigan. Dry weather and
the blight together promise to make the
crop exceedingly light.

Bean cropa in central Michigan prom-
ise well, good reports as to Wardwells
are coming in. From the present out-
look it is hoped that this year a fair
harvest of this important variety will be
realized.

Pickle packers at a meeting in Chi-
cago recently decided not to make prices
until the outlook for the new crop is
better defined. The crop in the middle
west is late, and blight baa injured the
vines in some localities.

seedsman, at 49 North street, has made
an assignment to William L. Manning.
Liabilities are placed at $40,000, with
nominal assets at about half that sum
and actual assets slightly smaller.

The sweet corn crop at the present
time is looking well but the late varieties
are far behind what they ought to be at
this season of the year and the best
authorities on crop estimates fear the
crop will be cut by cold weather before
it matures suflSciently.

WASHINGTON.

G>nvention Wanted.

Washington is in the field as an active
candidate for the S. A. F. Convention of
1905. We now have an active Florists'
C;iub under the efficient leadership of
Wm. F. Gude, with Peter Bissett as sec-
retary. The club met August 2 and voted
to invite the S. A. F. here next year.
Washington is a cooler place than St.
Louis and there are always sights to be
seen here by those who are not frequent
visitors to the nation's capital. A con-
vention here will almost certainly attract
many who have never attended an S. A.
F. meeting and, obviously, many who,
though they have attended in years gone
by, were not seen at* Milwaukee or Ashe-
ville and are not likely to be at St. Louis.
Washington is the logical meeting place
for 1905.

Death of J. H, Ley.

John n. Ley, the plantsman, is dead.
He was fifty-seven years of age, a native
of Birmingham, England, but had spent
many years in business here. He was for
a time, after his emigration, an employe
of Siebrecht & Son, New Kochelle, N. Y.,
and later of N. Studer, of Anacostia, D.
C. Later he went into business for him-
self at Good Hope, removing a few
months ago to Langdon, another suburb
of Washington, where he died July 26.
He leaves a widow and several children,
two of the sons being in the retail busi-
ness in this city.

Champaign, III. — Thomas Franks is
busy with his extensive remodeling work,
which he is anxious to see completed.

I LIKE the Review and would not be
without it. The only reason I did not
advertise in it this season was that local

to look for what you want. — J. A. Ken-

August 3 was a red letter day in the
florists' line here, the Toronto Horticul-
tural Society being the guests of the
Dale Estate. After a visit to the green-
houses, the party adjourned to the Eose-
Lee grounds, kindly lent for the occa-
sion by Mr. Jennings, and a very good
programme of sports was in order. A
cricket match resulted in a win, for the
Toronto boys. But the tables were
turned when the tug of war was the
order. The ladies of Toronto received
quite an ovation when they pulled the
girls here about the field. The event of
the day was the baldheaded men's race,
which T. W. Duggan secured in fine
style. Supper was served on the green
axid then the party was photographed.
More racing was done and considerable
bolstering in which Tom Manton, the
genial Toronto florist, and the foreman
of the Dale Estate played a conspicu-'
ous part. The day closed with an im-
promptu concert and the usual thanks at
the club house. Wm. Downing.

ORANGE, N. J.

A large and representative gathering
met on August 5 to hear Leonard Barron
tell the New Jersey Floricultural Society
the advantages of organization. It pro-
voked a lively discussion, the meeting re-
fusing, however, to place itself on record.

Both of the leading orchidists of this
section, Henry Graves and Wm. Barr,
were represented, and the work of Ed-
ward Thomas and Arthur Bodwell were
seen side by side. Gladioli from the
estates of A. C Von Gaasbeck and Cha«.
Hathaway, phlox from Sidney and Aus-
tin Colgate, Mrs. Wm. Pierson and John
Crosby Brown; alamandas from O. D.
Munn, and dahlias from W. J. Hesse, of
Newark, were shown.

It was decided to keep the approaching
' ' tin wedding ' ' of the society in October
in an appropriate manner.

Parkersburg, W. Va. — Gus Ober-
meyer will be at the S. A. F. convention
next week. He has a big bed 'of his new

ACQUST 11, 1904.

LOUISVILLE, KY.

Business is very slow just now, only
funeral work. Asters are coming in
but of poor quality, owing to the dry
weather we are having.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Kentucky Society of Florists was held
August 2, at the handsome residence of
Wm. Walker. A very large attendance
was present and lots of business was
transacted. The meeting was held on the
beautiful lawn. After the meeting ad-
journed the club was invited to partake
of a bountiful spread prepared by Mrs.
Walker and was enjoyed by all who were
present.

Jacob Schulz is preparing his carna-
tion houses and will soon plant them.

Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Marret and Mr.
and Mrs. E. G. Eeimers will leave August
16 to take in the World's Fair at St.
Louis.

Jos. Coenen & Co. 's place is in apple-
pie order.

Hy. Fuchs' house of roses is looking
fine.

Mrs. C. B. Thompson, who has been
very ill for some time, is much improved.

Mrs. Chas. Beimers has returned from
her trip to California and enjoyed it
very much.

Miss Sidonea Coenen, daughter of Jos.
Coenen, celebrated on Monday night her
sixteenth birthday and the house was
beautifully decorated with palms and
ferns. The presents she received were
fine and costly. Dancing was kept up to
a late hour.

Quite a number are going to St. Louis
to attend the convention.

OCEANIQ N. J.

The river carnival at Red Bank was one
of the most beautiful events of its kind
in the history of this section, one that
will hardly be forgotten by those who
witnessed it. The North Shrewsbury
river was covered with boats of every de-
scription, gayly decorated for the occa-
sion, the various colors and pretty women
making the river like a fairyland picture.
In the evening the parade of illuminated
boats of all kinds took place. Each sec-
tion of boats was headed by a band. The
first prize for the best decorated power
beat was awarded to B. H. Borden, of
Oceanic. O. E. Davis was second.

The village Improvement Society of
Oceanic has effected a permanent organ-
ization. The summer residents take great
interest in this society. The officers are :
W. H. Pearsall president; H. B. Borden,
first vice-president; Miss Lily Bliss, sec-
ond vice-president; C. H. "Walling, secre-
tary; J. Enright, treasurer.

Wm. Turner and the writer toiok a trip
to "\'onkers to see our old friend, l\lr.
Mackenzie, before he leaves Greystone,
on September 1, to go as superintendent
of Percy Chrubb's place, Glencove, L. 1.

At the regular meeting of the Mon-
mouth County Horticultural Society, Mr.
Turner showed many fine water lilies.
The secretary announced several dona-
tions for the fall show, for which the out-
look is very promising. The judges of
the evening were Geo. H. Hale and X.
Butterbach. B.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

NEWPORT, R, L

The Market.

As August advances more and more
dinner parties and luncheons are being
given here, as well as other social en-
tertainments of various kinds that all
go to make business good for the flor-
ist. During the past ten days a great
many flowers have been sold. In regard
to prices they have changed very little
since my last report two weeks ago, ex-
cept that sweet peas, which the damp,
foggy days have spoiled in many places,
are scarce and higher; that is, you can
get 25 cents per 100 for what two weeks
ago you could not give away. Orchids
also have been very short, the best cat-
tleyas bringing $1 each some days. The
finest American Beauty roses are retail-
ing for $6 a dozen, and Kaiserins and
Liberties for $3 to $4. Valley is always
in good demjind. Outdoor stuff goes
even better than last week. Oriental
poppies have sold especially well, many
being used for dinner decorations. On
the whole business is very good and will
be for several weeks yet.

Various Notes.

Last Wednesday evening the Newport
Horticultural Society held its regular
meeting, President Sullivan in the chair.
Many matters pertaining to the show
next month were arranged. James T.
Scott, with the F. B. Pierson Co., of
Tarrytown, was present.

Leikens has made a very pretty floral
effect in both his Bellevue avenue win-
dows, clearing out everytliing save the
dozens of miniature automobiles with
pretty flowers, wliich he arranged in
honor of the automobile meet here on
Saturday.

The largest lawn fete that Newport
has ever known will be given Monday af-
ternoon at Edward Berwinds' beautiful
estate.

George Wcstland has moved his fam-
ily to Cambridge, Mass., where he has
charge of the greenhouses and shrubbery
of Mount Auburn cemetery.

Several gardeners have done a good
business here, taking care of those places
where no regular gardener i»- employed.
They advertise "Gentlemen's places
taken care of by the day, month or
year." They furnish all plants and
shrubbery needed at most reasonable
rates, and diarge 2.'3 cents per hour for
the labor.

Portsmouth, K. I.; James T. Scott and

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

August 11, 1994.

LOOK

for the Exhibit
of

BEGONIA "TEMPLINH"

AT THE S. A. F. CONVENTION.

PITTSBURG.

The Market.

Trade still has the summer look and
most of the retail stores are running with
about half the force, the remainder be-
ing away on vacations. Good carna-
tions are very scarce, as the houses have
all been cleaned out and the outdoor
stock is not fit to use. Boses are im-
proving in quality and length of stem.
Some very fine Kaiserins are coming in.
The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. reports
business same as other years, with noth-
ing to complain of, but at the time the
tables were full of asters, which they were
offering for 25 cents per 100 and up.

Various Notes.

There is some convention talk and 1
feel quite sure that by the time they
are ready to go, the Pittsburg delega-
tion will numoer tmrty-nve or lorty.

Earnest Zieger, manager for C. T. Sie-
bert^ has gone to Le Mars, Iowa, with his
family. They will stop at many points
of interest en route.

Walter Breitenstein has packed his
canoe and gone to Sugar Island, to the
annual meet of the American Canoe As-
sociation.

The new south side store of Geddis &
Blind Bros, is well under way. They
promise one of the best appointed stores
west of New York. These boys are hus-
tlers and, although one of the youngest
firms, they are getting their share of the
business.

Anthony Smith is sending A. W.
Smith some of the finest asters and sweet
peas seen here this year. These are
grown on his Ohio farm. This is one of
Anthony's hobbies, but he makes it pay
just the/ same.

George Eichhorn has returned from a
visit to Wilkesbarre, Pa., full of mining
information. George is the boy who
keeps them all on the move in the
Pittsburg Market.

Mike Stafford, manager of Geddis &
Blind Bros.' south side store, is in St.
Louis floing the Pike.

John (jTth, the McKeesport florist, is
spending his vacation at Atlantic City.
John is as good natured as he is big
around, arid when he lies down, it is
farther to jump over him than to run
around him.

Visitors: B. Eschiier, of M. Rife &
Co.; Martin Reukftuf, of H. Bayersdorfer
& Co.; Arnold Eingier, of W. *W. Barn-
ard & Co. Hoo-Hoo.

The Review has been of great benefit
to us. — ^W. H. NEWiiAN, Akron, N. Y.

Our Platform

Is AT THE OPENING of a CAMPAIGN, each great
political party declares its principles in a ^^ Platform/^
so do we, at the approach of another season, make
known the position from which we shall seek the continued
support of the Trade. ^ ^ ^^^^^^^^^

THE PAST.

From an humble beginning, starting smaller than almost any wholesaler in Chicago
ever did start, we have built up in eight years of steady growth, a business which
warrants us in maintaining the largest and best equipped place in the city.

By careful, conservative management we have worked our way to the front.

We have taken good care of every flower shipped to us and earned the confidence
of our growers that we are at all times working for their interests.

We have carefully studied the wants of our customers and proved to their satis-
faction that we can be relied on at all times to furnish anything that is to be had in this
market, and in addition we make SPECIAL EFFORTS to SUPPLY NOVELTIES
or SPECIALTIES NOT ALWAYS TO BE HAD ELSEWHERE.

THE FUTURE.

In the coming season we shall conduct our business along the same lines as here-
tofore. We shall stand on our record— but we shall push harder than ever.

We shall have the stock — both quality and quantity — to do a larger business
than ever before. We have a strong force of the most experienced and efficient
employes, both in the selling and shipping departments, and they are fully alive to
the fact that YOUR interests are the interests of this house.

We solicit the continued patronage of those who have been dealing with us, and
we ask for the business of those with whom we have not yet done business, on this
pledge : That in the future, as in the past, WE SHALL GIVE FAIR and SQUARE
TREATMENT TO EVERYONE WITH WHOM WE HAVE DEALINGS.

WHY ARE WE ON TOP ?

E FLORISTS of the United States say it is because we are
the Largest^ Best Equipped and Most Progressive Florists'
Supply House in this country, and they ought to know. The
general verdict of all visitors at the Convention was that so fine an exhibit
as ours had never been seen before. Mr. Bayersdorfer has just returned
from ransacking Europe for Novelties, and our own big factory has not
been idle. Our stock is now considerably finer than EVEN WE ever
offered before. You can depend on us for the best of everything.

The Weekly Florists' Review 577

August 18, 1904.

desire to call the attention of our friends in the trade to our new
fern, to be introduced Spring of J 905, which we exhibited at the St.
Louis Convention.

The beauty and value of this new fern can best be appreciated
by seeing it. It is a sport from the Pierson Fern (Nephrolepis Pier^
soni) , but is very much more beautiful and of greater commercial
value. It is as different from the Pierson Fern as that is from the
Boston. The small side pinnae are again subdivided, producing an
exquisite and beautiful effect, changing the entire character of the fronds, which
measure less than half the length and about twice the breadth of the fronds of the
Pierson Fern. The fronds also assume an entirely different form, the side pinnae
standing at right angles to the mid^rib of the frond, on edge rather than flat, as is
usual, making both sides of the frond equally beautiful — entirely different from any
other fern.

The plant is very dwarf, only about half the height of the Pierson Fern, and of
very much more compact habit. Taking it altogether, it makes one of the most
exquisite plants and one of the most valuable for table and house decoration that
has ever been introduced. The cut fronds, on account of their beauty, will be in
great demand for table decoration, design work, and for use in boxes of loose
flowers. Well' grown plants make most magnificent specimens. We think there
is nothing in the fern line that is so handsome as this beautiful fern when well
grown. It is a wonderful improvement over Nephrolepis Piersoni in every respect,
both in regard to beauty and habit of growth.

As an appreciation of its value, we would state that we were awarded this year
the much coveted fifty ($50) dollar prize offered by the Horticultural Society of New
York for the best new plant. It has been exhibited before several other horticul'
tural societies this year, and has received the highest possible awards.

We will be glad to mail full description, etc., to our friends who do not have
the opportunity of seeing this fern at St. Louis. We shall have plants to offer not
only in small sizes, but also in large specimen plants in 6xinch, Scinch and JO^inch
pans. Prices on application.

TWENTIETH MEETING OF THE SOCIETY OF
AMERICAN FLORISTS.

Next Meeting to be held at Washington, D. C.

OFFICERS FOR 1905 :

(President. J. C. VAUGHAN. Chicago, ill.

Vice-President. J. R. FREEA\AN. Washlnjion. D. C.

Secretary. W. J. STEWART. Boston. Mass.

Treasurer. H. B. BEATTY. Oil City. Pa.

Til another year the S. A. F. will
reach its majority. The twentieth an-
nual convention has been held at St.
Louis this week and has redounded
grt-,atly to the credit of the society and
the host, the St. Louis Florists' Club.
The World's Fair was an attraction to
many and served to bring a number suf-
ficient to make up for the absence of
large eastern delegations and the indi-
viduals who were kept away by the ap-
parently not wholly unwarranted fear
of hot weather. The attendance was
excellent and the number of members
who were accompanied by their wives
was noticeable. The fear that the expo-
sition would detract from the attend-
ance at the sessions proved largely with-
out basis, but the exhibitors felt the
influence when it came to taking orders.
The program was arranged for morning
sessions only, after the first day, and
the afternoons and evenings were left
open for visiting the Fair. It proved
an admirable arrangement and the good
work of the local club caused everything
to pass off with the utmost smoothness
and earned the verdict that it was one
of the most successful conventions the
Society has ever held.

At the opening session Tuesday after-
noon there were seated on the stage, be-
sides the officers, the following ex-pres-
idents: E. G. Hill, John Burton, Wm.
Scott, W, F. Gude, Adam Graham, Edwin
Lonsdale, W. N. Rudd, W. R. Smith and
Robert Craig, besides the members of
the board of directors and several state
vice-presidents. The stage was hand-
somely decorated, as was the entrance to
the building, which is the old exhibition
building. The hall had very bad acous-
tics.

J. J. Beneke, president of the St.
Louis Florists' Club, called for order
and introduced Cyrus P. Waldbridge,
president of the Business Men's League,
to deliver the address of welcome. Mr.
Waldbridge, then mayor of the city, wel-
comed the S. A. F. when it first met in
St. Ix)uis, eleven years ago, and referred
pleasantly to that event. He said that
when he received this invitation he did
not know but what the florists had been
so absorbed in their occupation that they

had failed to take note of the political
changes which had taken place. He
said he would not expect them to be di-
verted from flowers by politics and dem-
onstrated that the florists are God's lieu-
tenants because they make even greater
the glories of the Creator. He did not,
as is usual, offer the keys to the city,
doubtless because the mayor had taken
them with him on his vacation.

The response was by Robert Craig, of
Philadelphia, who referred to the hospi-
tality of St. Louis during the conven-
tion of 1893, after which most of the
members went to see the Chicago World's
Fair, that great work of western en-
thusiasm, power and ability^ not dream-
ing that the next gathering at St. Louis
would see such glories as those of the
present exposition. He quoted Bacon,
that "men build finely before they gar-
den finely, ' ' and regretted that at this
Fair horticulture has not been devel-
oped as it might have been. He thanked
Mr. Waldbridge for his hearty welcome
and said he hoped to see the day when
the S. A. F. shall again visit this good
old town.

Mr. Beneke then introduced President
Breitmeyer and presented him with a
gavel on behalf of the St. Louis Flor-
ists' Club. Mr. Breitmeyer received an
ovation which attested his unbounded
popularity with the society and made
it impossible to proceed for several min-
utes, after which he spoke a few words
of welcome for the many ladies present
and asked indulgence while he read his
address, which was as follows:

President's Address.

Following the precedence established
by the first president of this society and
repeated by every one of my predeces-
sors, I herewith present my address.
First allow me to congratulate you upon
the wisdom of having selected this beau-
tiful city as a meeting place of this, the
twentieth convention of the society. This
great city which is aptly termed the
commercial gateway of the great south.
Eleven years ago it was our privilege
and pleasure to meet here under the pres-
idency of our esteemed and dearly be-
loved William R. Smith, through whose

untiring energy and enthusiastic vigilance
for over eight years, a national charter
was obtained, and under which our society
now operates with the dignity and pres-
tige that most fittingly belongrs to a so-
ciety with the broad, lofty, progressive
and elevating purposes for which the So-
ciety of American Florists and Ornamen-
tal Horticulturists was organized.

It is a happy coincident, too, that we
are convened here at a time when the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition is open,
with its many massive buildings, com-
pletely filled with the brilliant examples
of the latest developments in art and the
various industries of the civilized world.
We can happily congratulate ourselves,
too, that it is manifest to the thousands
of visitors to the great exposition that
the progressive and enterprising spirit
that has made the show the success it
is, has extended to nearly every branch
of floriculture and horticulture, and that
as we pass through these extensive
grounds and the Horticulture building
we can see evidences upon all sides show-
ing examples of the florists' art and the
results of the patient and vigilant work
of the horticulturist and landscape gar-
dener.

I was here in March last and observed
with alarm the really great difficulties
which lay in the way of those in charge
of this feature of World's Fair work,
and I behold today the most marvelorus
transformation from its rude, primitive
condition to the beautiful park and
pleasing slopes and approaches that now
greet us.

To many of our members present and
who will see for the first time the Mis-
souri Botanic Gardens located here, them
is a rich treat in store, and when the
great extent of these magnificent
grounds is open to them they will be
forcibly impressed with the congratula-
tions that are due to this city for being
in possession of such a great educational
institution. Its founder, the late Henry
Shaw, has left an imperishable monu-
ment to the great love for flowers and
their elevating influence that dwelled in
him. Ijet us hope that the world may
have many more of such men and that
every great city in our land will some
time be the beneficiary of men of such
noble character and aesthetic sentiments.

Our Society.

With each recurring year it seems
necessary to relate some of the achieve-
ments of the society for the benefit of
prospective members, who, notwithstand-
ing the wide publicity given our work
through the trade press, still sometimes
ask the childish question: "What good
will it do me to belong to the society!"
Under the circumstances one is at first
inclined to be provoked by the question
but, following the obedience to our well-
known duty (for it is a duty that every
member, as well as every oflSber, owes
the society), we answer that for the
past twenty years, covering the life of
the society, the brightest minds and
most capable men in every branch of
our business have been reflecting the
net results of their experiences, deep
thoughts and investigations through the
pages of the official reports of this so-
ciety's doings. The methods of green-
house building, cultural methods of the
most successful growers, the most effi-
cient manner of greenhouse heating, the
manner of disposing of stock at whole-
sale, the most improved methods of the
retailer, and subjects covering every

branch and phase of the business, from
the planting of the seed and rooting of
the cutting to the final disposition of the
product, has been, by the existence of
this society and prompted by it, actu-
ally scattered broadcast to all who would
but seek it.

We have inaugurated trade exhibitions
annually and caused the same to be open
free to the admiring public; we have
stimulated a spirit of emulation between
growers, which has resulted in bringing
out a merit and general excellence of
their product that was previously con-
sidered impossible; we have brought to-
gether and prompted the friendship of
the grower and buyer of the east and the
west, the north and the south; we have,
by our annual meetings, brought to-
gether the employer and the employe and
their free exchange of views unimpeded
by fear or by jealousy; we have re-
moved the barriers so that the young
can learn from the old and the old can
learn from the young; we have elevated
the general aspect of the florists' oc-
cupation from former drudgery to that
of a profession in which all may be
proud to engage; we have neglected
nothing that would aid the employer
and the employe and advance their ma-
terial interests; we have been a shining
example of the great possibilities of a
working organization, which has resulted
in the multiplicity of similar societies
working upon lines which are daily im-
proving our general condition and in-
creasing our prosperity.

These great advantages have been
shared in by the employe as well as by
the tradesman, and will continue to im-
prove the former to the end that in this
great country, where genius, enterprise
and industry make it possible and quite
probable for the servant of yesterday to
be the employer of today.

Following out this line of thought, I
would say that if this society should
disband tomorrow, it has accomplished
sufficient already to justify its existence
and would deserve the everlasting praise
of succeeding generations of florists.

Being still more specific, I am speak-
ing within the strict confines of truth
when I say that there is not a florist in
the land today, whether he is or not a
member of this organization, who has
not already been benefited from the lat-
est triumph of the society's efforts in
causing a reduction of express rates on
flowers, after the individual efforts of
the largest shippers failed to accomplish
it; the beneficiaries of the hail insur-
ance adjustment of losses of thousands
of feet of glass have good reasons to
join the great chorus of satisfied mem-
bers.

To further enumerate the many ac-
knowledged achievements of the society
would lengthen this address and delay
the proceedings too long, and I will con-
clude this part of my address by saying
that the society will continue its life of
usefulness and will always be prepared
to meet and remove from its path any
obstruction calculated to impede its prog-
ress and beneficial influences.

The Future,

I certainly would like to see much
more activity of our present members
toward obtaining new recruits. I am
sure that even a little effort by each
one would result in materially increas-
ing our membership. The life member-
ship has been particularly slow in

growth, and I earnestly commend this
manner of support to all who are at all
able. This year I have myself made
considerable effort to enlist many into
life membership and I am pleased to
say that the cheerful responses have
been considerable, which leads me to be-
lieve that much can be accomplished for
the benefit of the society in this way, if
the efforts are made.

An examination of the official reports
of our convention proceedings will dis-
close the deplorable fact that the pa-
pers read at our meetinj^s of recent years
are being less and less discussed by the
members present. The close observer will
notice that this is not because of the
lack of the intrinsic merit of the pa-
pers themselves, or the timely importance
of the subjects treated by them, and we
are therefore unwillingly forced to the
natural conclusion that the cause lies
in the evident apathy and apparent in-
difference of the members, for whose
benefit all the work of the society is di-
rected. I therefore ask your earnest
consideration of this matter and most
fervently hope for a revival of that
spirited interest in our meetings which
characterized the proceedings of the first
ten years of the society 's existence.

The Trade Papers.

The trade papers have rendered us
much valuable assistance and we .should
feel grateful to them. They give wide
publicity to our proceedings and acquaint
the trade with the value of our work,
but I sometimes question the propriety

of allowing free publication of society
matters, which belong properly to mem-
bers only. It is sometimes claimed, and
I believe truly so, that because of such
publications in the trade papers, it ap-
pears to many that there is no neces-
sity for belonging to the society in order
to obtain copies of the proceedings in
detail. It may be weU for the society
to give due consideration to this matter
at this meeting and take whatever action
on it may be found necessary, after a
free discussion of it.

Trade G>nditions.

From what information I have gath-
ered, I am satisfied that the past sea-
.son has not compared favorably with
the former in as far as profits are con-
cerned. The growers can partly account
for this condition. The extra cost of
fuel, with additional consumption, ex-
plains much of the situation. To make
matters worse, the receipts both in
money and productiveness fell behind
the greater part of the season. Let us
admit that this was the growers' ex-
perience.

The retailer who is not dependent on
the same conditions as the grower, and
who is by no means at the mercies of the
weather or results of a coal strike, ad-
mits that his business was up to all
expectations — in some cases exceeded
that of former years. Taking it for
granted that this is true, it is chiefly
the growers who need the comfort of
advice.

As your president, I take the liberty

T ,: .-i^-

of saying a few words on the subject.
From all reports, the prices obtained for
products in the east are in advance of
those obtained in the west. There must
be a cause for this condition. Is it pos-
sible that it is due to over-production!
The clase of goods offered in the mid-
dle west is equal to the best in the coun-
try. Are the prices? If so, I fail to
see it. I venture to say the condition
has grown worse the last two years, and
seems to have come as predicted — an
abundance of good stock going to waste.

Need for a Reserve.

I think this is an opportune time to
call your attention to that part of ex-
President Burton's address last year, in
which he said all should take caution
and keep some of our earnings in re-
serve, and I believe he alluded particu-
larly to our western brethren. I am of
the same opinion. It might be well for
the progressive, who are adding enough
glass each year to alone swamp the sec-
tion in which they are in, to hold off
building a few years. It may help to
equalize the production. Let the con-
sumption exceed the production if it
will. The general trade may benefit by
it — the grower would at least. I do not
mean to discourage progress, for that
would be impossible.

It would be reasonable for men in
our line of business to take a hint from
what other industries are doing. For
instance, a car-shop can close the doors
of their shops in whole or in part, if
business conditions require it. They
then await the reawakening of business
ere they operate again. An entirely dif-
ferent proposition for the florist. A
greenhouse, once built, needs constant
watching 365 days each year. With the
present condition it is well to yield. We
know the building operations have been
far beyond normal of late; therefore a
bit of caution will not go amiss.

I think it would be well for some of
this enormous glass area which is now
devoted to cut flowers to be used for
growing a more extensive stock of flow-
ering plants, in which the public is of
late showing so much interest in all parts
of the country. I quote the words of
a shrewd grower, prominent in our
midst, in which he uses good logic. He
said: "No more building for me. I
have a desire to see what a bank ac-
count looks like. Since I have had the
building craze I have been a poor man. ' '
A good word spoken, I thought.

This is too often the case with the
florists. They seem to have a hobby
of being in debt constantly, caused, as a
rule, by the anxiety to build green-
houses. We all know the result. Fur-
ther, we are apt to establish poor credit.
Whether it is by building greenhouses
or building other houses, the credit of
our business can stand for improvement.
Too often it is impaired alone by the pure
carelessness of those who need it most.
This carelessness extends so far to the
point of even refu^ng the courtesy of
a reply to demands for payments, and we
all know the natural result.

The Labor Problem.

The present time seems opportune for
this society to, in some proper manner,
do something toward the improvement
of the conditions of most of our em-
ployes. Even the casual observer will
notice the rapid but certain depletion in
the ranks of efficient help engaged par-
ticularly in greenhouse work. It ap-

pears to me that a period of extreme
difficulty in getting such efficient help
for the necessary requirements is close
at hand, and that we must make provi-
sions to meet it.

We hear from many parts the cry of
an employer's inability to secure help
with sufficient knowledge and application
to warrant their retention in greenhouse
work with even a small share of respon-
sibility. About twenty years ago this
trouble did not confront the employer
anywhere. He could obtain the neces-
sary help required, from the small boy
pulling weeds and cleaning pots to the
section foreman. Apprentices were
much the rule then and not the excep-
tion, but today we find but few boys at
work in our establishments, and I am
led to believe the reason for it is that
the usual compensation given for the
different grades of greenhouse work is,
to the seeker for work, not sufficiently
remunerative when compared with the
wages offered and received by help in
other lines. This, I think, is all a mis-
take.

We should seek to employ boys and
teach them the business and teach them
to feel attached to their chosen line of
life's work, but to bring about this
change, which if done at once would be
a violent one, we must lend encourage-
ment to the youthful applicant by point-
ing out the possibilities in the lines of
promotion, that carries with such pro-
motion and added responsibilities, wages
and salaries which will at once seem
sufficiently attractive to warrant the adop-
tion of this line of work as one 's life
vocation. At the present time there is
not the least stability to the wages and
salaries given in any grade of green-
house work, .so that it is impossible to
point out substantial reward for the
prospective florist, and the result is, as
above stated, a scarcity of the help re-
quired and a great deficiency in the
knowledge of those at all obtainable.

Therefore, looking forward to a pos-
sible improvement of the condition, I
would suggest that the society would ap-
point a committee to draw up a scale of
wages that would, in the judgment of
the committee, properly compensate the
service rendered and which would be ap-
plicable to most places throughout the
country, and let that scale be as gener-
ous as the business can afford. Then

we may be able to enlist more in our
pursuits than at present seems possible,
and the merit of them will be improved,
for if we would elevate our calling we
must elevate the men engaged in it.

Amateur Societies.

I am much impressed with the ex-
tensive good work being done in many
parts of the country by these unique or-
ganizations for home and civic improve-
ment, and I believe this society should
substantially recognize such work by
the awarding of suitable medals and
certificates to those of their members
who are being particularly successful in
the advancement of sucn work, which,
even indirectly, operates to the pecun-
iary advantage of members of our own
society. I earnestly hope that such ac-
tion as may be necessary will be taken
at this meeting to carry into effect this
recommendation.

During the past winter I had the
pleasure of attending the lectures in our
city of Prof. Zueblin, on civic improve-
ments which pointed out the great work
done on these lines and the interest
shown now most universally in this most
commendable work, and when I contem-
plate the interest and real enthusiasm
shown in matters horticultural, bearing
upon improvements and embellishments of
home and public grounds by the League
of Civic Improvements, the Outdoor Art
Association, and similar associations, I
feel that cur members are losing a grand
opportunity to advance this feature of
that line of business, which belongs, al-
most exclusively, to our craft. We may,
I think, very properly and to great ad-
vantage identify ourselves with these as-
sociations and lend what assistance we
can to the development of ornamental
horticulture and thereby <-reate a fur-
ther demand for the class of stock re-
quired in work of this nature, and never
losing sight of the necessity of providing
this stock. I observe that the nursery-
men are already alive to the importance
of this branch of the business, which
properly belongs to us, and their en-
croachment upon this field is the result
of our own indifference to the growing
and sale of this very remunerative class
of stock.

In many of our public parks, notably
those of Cleveland, where I was recently
shown around by ex-President Graham, I

observed the almost entire absence of
beds of flowering plants. This I much
deplore and fear that the extreme has
been reached in following the ideas of
the late Mr. MkcMillan, of Buffalo, who
some time ago advocated a less profuse
display of this form of embellishment
of public grounds and a more general
use of herbaceous and other ornamental
stock. I hope that flowering plants, al-
though annually replanted, will find
favor with park commissioners every-
where.

Bureau of Statistical Information.

I would suggest that this meeting take
decided action toward the establish-
ment and maintenance of a complete sys-
tem of collecting reliable data of all
kinds relating to our business and its
several branches. I believe this work
should be thoroughly and reliably done
by permanent committees appointed for
the purpose and that a compilation of
such information should be effectetl and
preserved through the office of the sec-
retary of this society. Some attempts
have been made in the past to gather
statistics of glass areas, etc., through-
out the country, but they even have met
with indifferent and uncertain results.
It certainly would be of great benefit
to all interested in the growth and gen-
eral advancement of our industry to be
able to reach, without difficulty, infor-
mation properly tabulated covering the
many phases of its development, espe-
cially so when such information is ab-
solutely authentic, as it necessarily
would be when coming through the relia-
ble channels of the membership of this
society. Eleven years ago this matter
was referred to by ex-President Wm. R.
Smith, and I hope this year will see the
realization of this feature of the soci-
ety's development.

Closer Relations.

Three years ago it was thought desir-
able by many of our members to bring
about closer relations of certain other
societies with this, the parent society,
so that the co-operations of all may be
effected to the mutual benefit of all the
organizations referred to. You are all
^ware of the failure of our two at-
tempts to adopt an amendment calcu-
lated to bring about the desired result.
Your executive committee again con-
sidered the matter at its meeting in St.
Louis last spring, according to the in-
structions of the IVTilwaukee convention,
and decided to again, bring the matter
up at this meeting for final disposition.
I hope that the amendment will be
adopted as it reads, and if the organ-
ization whose co-operation is solicited
by it fails to accept the same it will be
no fault of the Society of American
Florists and Ornamental Horticulturists.
I believe it would be far better for the
society to go upon record as having of-
fered this inducement to the kindred so-
cieties, as in a large measure carrying
out* the good purposes of the develop-
ment of our industry as contemplated by
the society at its original inception.

Arbitration G>mmittee.

There seems to be a general desire
for the restoration of the arbitration
committee. From many parts of the
country we hear of grievances affecting
our members and a manifestation of
willingness to allow the adjustment of
these real or fancied wrongs to be af-
fected through a committee. Thus it

J. R. Freenun, Vice-President-Elect Society of American Florists.

will be possible to maintain the pacific
relations between buyer and seller that
are so much desired and actually needed
for the commercial interests of our mem-
bers. If the committee appointed a
year ago for the purpose of establishing
standard sizes of plants and bulbs brings
in a report at this meeting indicating
the practical feasibility of the plan,
and if such standards are adopted and
put into operation as generally and com-
pletely as were the standard pots, then
the work of the arbitration committee
could be more clearly defined, and its
usefulness far greater than under the
present circumstances, where no definite
established standard exists. After hear-
ing a report of that committee, of which
Mr. Bichholz is chairman, we can at this
meeting, if having the approval of the
convention, establish at once the arbi-
tration committee, as I can see no good
reason for deferring it for another year.

Proposed Permanent Home.

I have given much thought to this im-
portant matter and must say that as
much a's I would welcome the realization
of this idea, T do not feel very sanguine
of the success of the project in the near
future. When it is considered that to-
day, after the society 's Existence of
twenty years, our treasury has only
about $5,000 on hand, it is difficult for
the most enthusiastic to see in the near
future the feasibility of a scheme in-
volving such a monetary outlay as wo\dd
Ik? necessarily required for the purpose.

Even the maintenance of such an insti-
tution, should it come into our posses-
sion free of debt, would give much anx-
iety to the oflScers of the society. How-
ever, the idea is a magnificent one and
I do not wish to in any way discourage
it, but on the contrary recommend keep-
ing it alive and frequently dwelled upon
so that the importance and desirability
of it will grow in our hearts at present
and in the future, so that the fond
hopes of many of us may yet be realized,
even if its accomplishment must be
postponed to a time far distant from
the present.

The consideration of a permanent
home for the society leads me to the
thought that much of what we would
naturally expect of a beneficial charac-
ter from such an institution, if it were
an accomplished fact, is really easily ob-
tainable through the existing experimen-
tal stations already established in many
of our states. I find that these institu-
tions, which are a result of a part of
our taxation, are admirably and com-
pletely equipped with both the knowl-
edge and practical facilities for eflfi-
ciently testing seeds, plants and cul-
tural methods, the results of which can
be easily obtained by the mere request
of those interested. Furthermore, those
persons having such institutions in
charge seem even eager to give out, for
the benefit of all, the results of their
experiments and practices. T therefore
urge Our members to appreciate the value

of these available agencies and freely
make use of the advantages they offer

.U8.

The Guiution League.

It s^ms fitting that our society should
give its ofl&cial approval and continued
encouragement to the Carnation League
of America. Mr. H. M. Altick, one of
the executive committee of S. A. F.,
who is chairman of the committee on
McKinley memorial representing the
American Carnation Society, and which
was endorsed by this society a year ago,
has been expending commendable energy
in behalf of this most deserving project,
which I am sure will meet the hearty ap-
proval and most generous response of
the members of this society, whose char-
ter happily bears the signature of the
late distinguished and beloved president,
William McKinley.

Another matter that I deem of suffi-
cient importance to here refer to is the
customary practice and usual instruc-
tions given to the various committees.
In most cases where their appointment
is deemed advisable a report from them
is not made until the next annual meet-
ing. This, • I think, is a mistake and
would suggest that such committees
should do their work as soon after the
appointment as practical and make the
report at once to the secretary, who
could without delay apprise the presi-
dent, and after the approval of the lat-
ter, publication to the members could
be made and the result of the commit-
tee's work put into immediate opera-
tion. While considering the work of
committees I will say that I think this
method of making a division of the so-
ciety's work should be more freely ex-

orcised, but men of the best qualifica-
tions Bhould be selected and they should
be made fully aware of the prompt and
efScient work expected of them.

Trade Exhibitions.

The trade exhibitions connected with
our annual conventions, I am glad to
note, are growing in extent, importance
and popularity, and rightly so, for the
benefits arising from them are many
and widespread, and I sincerely hope for
a continuance of this valuable feature
of our annual meetings.

Some of the most interesting discus-
sions we have ever had developed out of
the answers given to inquiries from the
question box and I urge the free use of
this valuable avenue of information.

The Executive Committee.

To those of my executive board who
were present at our sessions, who have
had the good work at heart and devoted
their time and .money for the good cause,
let me express my heartfelt appreciation,
and I hope the same enthusiasm will fol-
low their entire term of office. To those
who were not present, I must confess
that it was a disappointment. We should
understand it is largely a business
proposition. Speaking for myself, I
should not accept an honor unless I felt
I would endeavor to fill the requirements.
When a man is shown the courtesy and
is invited to give counsel in a society
representing his trade's interests, he
should put forth all efforts to lend such
assistance as lies in his power. This
question should be weighed well. We
must admit that we all have troubles of
our own. None so bad but what may be
worse. We should be anxious to lay

aside our individual business a short
time for this cause. The executive com-
mittee is the main machinery of the so-
ciety. To them is allotted the year's
work, and in order to do good, effective
work it is absolutely necessary that every
director fully intends to do his share at
each and every meeting during the term
of office, and there ought to be men in
our ranks anxious for the opportunity.
This year we have arranged a program
that I hope will prove interesting and
valuable to all our members.

In conclusion, I wish to use this op-
portunity to express my grateful appre-
ciation of the splendid work done in
connection with this event by the St.
Louis Florists' Club. President J. J.
Beneke, Messrs. Kuehn, Tesson, Oester-
tag, Schray, Ammann, Byer, Weber, El-
lis and Koenig have all to my personal
knowledge shown extraordinary interest
and applied themselves most industri-
ously to the work assigned them and the
happy result is the most complete prep-
aration for this glorious convention.

Secretary Stewart then read his an-
nual report, which was as follows:

Secretary's Report.

In presenting my annual report I take
opportunity to congratulate the society,
and, through it, the horticultural inter-
ests of the country on the freedom dur-
ing the past year from widespread calam-
ities, such as the coal strike and the ex-
press-rate burden, which had in the pre-
vious season threatened our prosperity.
While not a phenomenal year in any re-
spect, it would seem from the vice-presi-
dents' reports and other sources of in-
formation from all sections, that a rea-
sonably satisfactory year has been passed.

The records of the secretary's office show
that this has been the society's experi-
ence also.

The annual printed volume of the so-
ciety 's proceedings for the year 1903, a
publication of 228 pages, was issued to
members in due time and will suffice as
a report of our last meeting and its re-
sults, and of the enjoyable hours we spent
as guests of our indulgent and generous
friends of Milwaukee and Chicago, who
proved themselves to be masters of the
science of hospitality applied with me-
thodical lavishness unequaled in our ex-
perience. The records show that twenty-
four "certificates of merit," twenty-
eight "honorable mentions" and nine
* * highly commended ' ' diplomas were
issued by the judges in the Milwaukee
exhibition; and that the gross receipts for
space rented to exhibitors were $2,248.62.
It is also recorded that one hundred and
fifty-nine plant introductions had been
reported to the secretary's- office during
the year. This.number included twenty-
two carnations, four roses, eighty-two
chrysanthemums, six zonal geraniums,
three dahlias and forty-two miscellaneous
plants.

The total number of members as shown
in the printed list for 1903 was nine
hundred and three, a net gain of twenty-
five over the previous year. Of this num-
ber seventy-five were life members. In
the interim since the issuance of that re-
port the number of life members has in-
creased about fifty per cent, and our per-
manent fund has thus received a gratify-
ing accretion. The number of new and
reinstated members for 1903 was two
hundred and eleven. They are creditea
to their states as follows: California,
Florida, New Hampshire, Ehode Island,
Canada, Oklahoma and Delaware, one
each; District of Columbia and Kansas,
two each; Connecticut, Kentucky and
Louisiana, three each; Colorado, four;
New Jersey, five; Minnesota, seven; In-
diana, eight; Missouri, nine; Ohio, ten;
Iowa, eleven; Pennsylvania, sixteen;
Michigan, eighteen; New York, twenty-

two; Wisconsin, twenty-seven; Illinois,
fifty-four.

The number of members of 1902 who
have failed thus far to respond to due
bills for 1903 and the present year is one
hundred and fifty-eight, but this number
will be reduced somewhat, as usual, by
settlements at this meeting.

Deaths have been recorded since our
meeting in Milwaukee as follows:

Mary S. Mann, January 11, 1904.

Josiah Hoopes, January 16, 1904.

Philip Gauges, February 1, 1904.

Walter Kreitling, February 29, 1904.

John Young, April 29, 1904.

L. H. Foster, May 31, 1904.

A. Schmitt, June 1, 1904.

Mr. Foster was state vice-president for
eastern Massachusetts at the time of his
death.

From the foregoing it will appear that,
although our organization is numerically
and financially strong, we have no in-
crease in membership such as we have a
right to expect. A little missionary spirit
exercised by our members individually
would accomplish more in this direction
than all the circulars and press appeals
we can make. If all the state vice-presi-
dents should make the same determined
effort which has been made by one or two
whom I can name, we should have no diffi-
culty in passing the one thousand mark
and holding the lead.

The spring meeting of the executive
board was held in this city on March 5, 6
and 7, 1904. Our present meeting place,
program and other arrangements for the
conduct of the business and pleasure of
this convention are the result of their de-
liberations. A number of communications
were received and acted upon. Among
them was one from the secretary of the
Postal Progress League, and a special
committee with the secretary as a mem-
ber was appointed, with instructions to
co-operate with the legislative committee
in the effort to secure the reforms in post-
al matters advocated by the League. It
was voted to continue the issuing of silver
and bronze medals through various horti-

cultural societies as in other years. The
subject of the methods of judging and
making awards in the trade exhibitions
was given long and careful consideration,
and in view of the inconvenience and un-
satisfactory results generally of the sys-
tem hitherto prevailing, it was decided to
make the change which goes into effect at
this meeting, whereby the work of the
judges is limited to regularly-entered nov-
elties, and the duty of preparing a de-
tailed list of the exhibits devolves on
the superintendent. The secretary was
instructed to have all existing records of
past meetings of the board copied and
bound in such manner as to preserve
them in good condition. The subject that
occupied the greatest share of the time
of the executive board was that of the
proposed amendment to the constitution,
providing for the enrollment of sections,
which had been referred to the board by
the last convention. The draft of the
proposed amendment as finally adopted by
a \inanimous vote of the board has been
placed before the members or the so-
ciety in accordance with the constitu-
tional requirement, and awaits the action
of this convention. Your secretary ven-
tures to express the hope that this plan,
the outcome of many years' study of con-
ditions on the part of those whose duty or
privilege it has been to think and to
labor for the society 's welfare and the ad-
vancement of horticulture in this country,
will be adopted by the vote of the so-
ciety when presented on Thursday, thus
settling finally, and wisely, I believe, this
annually recurring problem.

New plants registered since last report
were as follows:

October 17, 1903— Eose Sir Thomas
Lipton. This rose had previously been
submitted for registration under the name
of Leo XIII., which title was withdrawn
when it was learned that a rose of that
name was already in existence.

July 18, 1904— Eose Arcadia, by M.
H. Walsh. This rose had previously been
submitted for registration under the
name of Felicity, but this title was
withdrawn to avoid possible confusion
with another variety in commerce as
Felicite-Perpetue.

The admission of Adiantum cuneatum
var. Croweanum to registration last year
brought out a protest from the late J. H.
Ley, that gentleman claiming that this
fern was identical with one he had dis-
seminated under the name of A. hy-
bridum. Your secretary procured from
Mr. Crowe and Mr. Ley a number of
plants each, in various sizes and stages,
and placed them in the hands of Mr.
Eobert Cameron at the Harvard Botanic
Garden for comparison under identical
culture. After one year's test Mr. Cam-
eron makes the following report, which
seems to definitely settle this question:

Botanic Garden Harvard Unlvorslty,
Cambridge, Mass., Aug. 5, 1904.
Dear Mr. Stewart: After growing Adiantum
Croweanum and Adiantum hybrldtim for one
year I find that they are quite distinct.

Adiantum Croweanum has longer fronds,
grows more upright and has smaller pinnules
than hybridum.

Adiantum hybridum does not grow quite as

tali as Croweanum, tho fronds not quite as

,j straight or upright as Croweanum and are of

darlccr shade of green. The pinnules are much

, larger than In Croweanum.

Dr. Benjamin Robinson of the Gray Her-
barium examined the plants this day and said
that they were quite distinct.

Yours respectfully,

ROBERT CAMERON.

The following 8. A. F. medal awards
have been made through the societies in-
dicated :

Massachusetts Horticultural Society,
allotment of 1902, a silver medal to F.
E. Pierson Company for Nephrolepis
Piersoni, and bronze medal to Wm.
Thatcher for seedling dwarf asparagus.
Allotment of 1903, silver medal to Joseph
Tailby & Son for hybrid calla, Mrs.
Theodore Eoosevelt, and bronze medal to
David F. Eoy for seedling canna, Mrs.
E. S. Converse.

American Carnation Society, a silver
medal to Eichard Witterstaetter for Car-
nation The Cardinal.

Cincinnati Florists' Society, allotment
of 1903, bronze medal to Henry Weber
for Carnation Gov. Lowndes. Allotment
of 1904, silver medal to E. Witterstaetter
for Carnation The Cardinal, and bronze
medal to Baur & Smith for Carnation
Indianapolis.

Where a medal of same grade has been
awarded for the same object by more
than one society, the award first reported
to the secretary of the S. A. F. has been
given the medal, and the subsequent
awards have been recognized with a cer-
tificate of award in lieu of a medal, ac-
cording to the rules.

In accordance with instructions from
the executive board, the secretary, in co-
operation with the other gentlemen ap-
pointed, has done what he could to pro-
mote an agitation in favor of the pro-
posed postal reforms, but with the usual
experience of indifference on the part of
the members of the Society, and now thatj
the Postal Progress League proposes to
carry the fight into politics, the maU^r
seems to have got beyond our legi^iiRte
domain for the present.

Last fall a complete card catalogue ot
members was prepared and has proved a
decided advantage over the roll-book sys-
tem formerly in use. The large accumu-
lation of Society material of considerable
value in the secretary 's oflfiee inakes it de-
sirable that an office for its storage antf
the transaction of the society's business
exclusively should be provided, and ade*
quate insurance carried thereon. The ex-

igency having been brought to the at-
tention of the executive board, moderate
appropriation to cover the immediate time
was made by that body last March, but
it would seem that this question is onei
that should be considered and decided by
vote of the whole society.

With gratitude for the cordiality and
cheerful assistance so freely given by
officers and members during the year, and^
hearty wishes for ever widening influence*
and continued prosperity, this report is
respectfully sulnnitted.

Wm. J. Stewaet, Sec'y.

The report of Treasurer H. B. Beatty
was presented. The summary was as
follows :

Life membership fund: Cash on hand
January 1, 1903, $1,924.56; receipts,
$403.48; balance January 1, 1904,
$2,328.04. Eeceipts to June 30, 1904,
$436.89; balance June 30, $2,764.93.

General fund: Cash on hand January
1, 1903, $2,710.77; receipts, $2,539.80;
expenditures, $2,114.56; balance Janu-
ary 1, 1904, $3,136.01. Eeceipts to June
30, 1904, $1,387; expenditures, $1,541.-
08; balance June 30, 1904, $2,981.93.

The legislative committee reported, on
investigation of some complaints, that
all the principal express companies are
still adhering to the special plant rate
where shipments are properly packed.
On certain difficulties at the customs
house they asked further time.

The peony committee reported that
they found no evidence of prior distribu-
tioti of the Suzuki & lida set of Japa-
nese varieties, English names for which
were offered for registration some two
-years ago, and recommended that the
English names be adopted as registered,
bracketing the Japanese names in cat-
aloging until the trade becomes familiar
with the new names. The report was
signed by Edwin Lonsdale, J. T. Temple,
J. K. M. L. Farquhar, Carl Cropp, G.
C. Watson, S. M. Meehan, W. E. Smith
and Peter Bissett, and was adopted.

Henry Eichholz presented a report for
the committee on standard sizes of
plants, as follows:

Standard Sizes of Plants.

The committee reports as follows:
A plant is of standard size, in any
sized pot, when it is sufficiently strong

under proper culture for a shift into a
larger pot. The root action must be such
as to hold the soil firmly and on the other
hand should not be pot-bound.

Such plants as petunias, salvias, coleus,
chrysanthemums, heliotropes, verbenas, ge-
raniums, dahlias and flowering begonias,
in 2 1^ -inch pots, the stem should be
not less than three nor more than six
inches above the soil, with not less than
four leaves. Such stock should be short-
jointed, and any undue forcing to ob-
tain specified height would greatly im-
pair their value. The same class of
plants in 4-inch pots should be well
branched, with the possible exception
3f chrysanthemums and dahlias, in as
much as these are often grown to single
stem. They should be not less than six
inches in height and of symmetrical
form.

Fuchsias and abutilons, the same as
the foregoing, in a 2% -inch pot, but in
the 4-inch size they should not be less
than eight inches in height.

Carnations and roses in 2i^-inch pots
should bo not less than four inches in
height and in 4-inch pots should be well
branched and not less than five inches
in height.

Siiiilax, Asparagus plumosus and As-
paragus Sprengeri in 2^4 -inch pots
should not have less than five growths
nor less than five inches in height, with
the possible exception of smilax which
has been headed back to induce strong
root growth, for which three inches in
height would suffice. In 4-inch pots not
less than ten growths nor less than se^-en
inches in height, except smilax which has
been headed back.

Primroses in 21/^ -inch pots, not less
than three inches high and with six to
eight leaves. In 4-inch pots, five inches

high with twelve to fifteen leaves.

Begonia Eex in 2% -inch pots, not less
than three well developed leaves; not
less than four nor more than six inches
in height.

Cannas, 2% -inch pots, not less than
four inches in height, and in 4-inch pots,
not less than six inches in height with
three well developed leaves.

Ferns in variety, such as are gener-
ally used for filling small dishes, vary
so in height and style of growth that it
is very difficult to define them. In 2%-
inch pots, they should average from two
and one-half inches in height to five
inches, according to the variety. In 4-
inch pots, from four inches to eight
inches in height. Boston ferns, in 2^>■
inch pots, not less than three leaves, and
in 4-inch pots, not less than eight leaves.

It is impossible to make definite sizes,
inasmuch as there is such a wide differ-
ence in the habit of growth of many
plants ocf the same species. The individ-
uality is very well marked in such plants
as chrysanthemums, begonias and ferns.
In mentioning 2i^-inch pots, the stand-
ard size is the size referred to, namely,
two and one-half inches wide and two
and one-half inthes deep, and not a
2-inch rose pot.

Committee.

Mr. Scott said that, with all due re-
spect to the committee, he considered
its work of no value, as sizes required
vary so widely in the different sections
of the country and because mere size
and height bear no relation to health

and value. The report was laid on the
table.

Mr. Stewart read a report from J. B.
Nugent on a standard scale of sizes for
roses, but on objection of E. H. Cush-
man it was referred back to the com-
mittee, it developing that Mr. Nugent
had prepared the scale at the commit-
tee's request but that the other mem-
bers, Mir. Cushman and Walter Mott,
had never seen it. In his report Mr. Nu-
gent pointed out the wide variation in
grades now employed and said that all
cut flower growers and buyers agree on
the desirability of standard grades. He
proposed that on all roses other than
Beauties the standard grades be adopted
as follows :

Specials 30 Incheg and np

Fancy 24 to 30 Inches

Extra 18 to 24 Inches

No. 1 1...14 to 18 Inches

No. 2 12 Inches and under

On Beauties as follows:

Specials 40 Inches and ap

Fancy 30 to 40 Inches

Extra 24 to 30 Inches

No. 1 18 to 24 Inches

No. 2 12 to 18 Inches

No. 3 12 Inches and down

Mr. Gude asked why Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4,
etc., would not do as well as extra, dou-
ble extra and extra special!

Several invitations of various sorts
were in the hands of the secretary. The
only one the society cared to have read'
was from the Anheuser-Busch Brewing
Co. It was referred to the entertainment
committee with applause.

A request for the endorsement of G.
F. Thompson for appointment as assist-
ant secretary of agriculture was tabled.

A letter was presented from C. S.
Sargent, asking subscriptions for the
Vilmorin memorial fund. This provoked
the liveliest debate of the day, not as
to the worthiness of the movement, for
that all recognize, but as to the man-

ner of giving. A motion to contribute
from the society's funds was thought
not to be in keeping with the wishes of
the sponsors for the movement and a
committee consisting of J. C. Vaughan,
Theo, Wirth, A. T. Boddington, Jos.
Fuller and Adam Graham was appointed
to solicit individual subscriptions. Mr.
Qude called attention to the McEanley
memorial fund as being equally worthy
and more closely identified with our in-
terests.

Otto Koenig spoke on the subject of
labor brought up in President Breitmey-
er's address and Mr. Scott took the
opportunity to say that the address was
the most thoughtful ever presented to
the society.

Wednesday's Proceedings.

Wednesday morning the convention
was nearly an hour late in getting under
way. The reports of the several state
vice-presidents were presented but not
read and Supt. Kuehn's report of the
trade exhibition was introduced. The
judges were J. F. Sullivan, Edwin Lons-
dale and Lewis Ullrich. They made
awards as follows:

To Wm. Simpson & Sons, certificate
of merit for automobile lawn mower,

A. Easmussen, honorable mention
for balancing sash.

G. M. Garland Ck)., certificate of merit
for device for attaching pipe to purlins.

Herendeen Mfg. Co., boiler highly
commended.

Eoseville Pottery Co., jardinieres highly
commended.

Sperry Mfg. Co., honorable mention
for folding plant box.

D. B. Long, certificate of merit for
three-color process in printing.

King Construction Co., certificate of
merit for truss in roof construction.

C. C. Pollworth Co., glass mender
highly commended.

Detroit Pottery Co., certificate of merit
for new pot.

A. Dietsch Co., honorable mention for
gutter.

Lord & Burnham Co., honorable men-
tion for clamp for attaching sash bars
and gutter.

Cahill, Swift Mfg. Co., honorable men-
tion for boiler.

C, A. Kuehn, certificate of merit for
wire work.

S. S. Pennock, honorable mention for
ribbon novelties.

Seed & Keller, certificate of merit for
novelties.

Schloss Bros., honorable mention for
ribbon novelties.

M. Eice & Co., honorable mention for
several novelties.

Ed. Jansen, honorable mention for nov-
elties.

Lion & Wertheimer, honorable men-
tion for ribbon novelties.

F. E. Pierson Co., silver medal for
Tarry town fern. (This shows one of
the inconsistencies of the present method
of judging. The committee described
this as a "greatly improved Piersoni. "
Piersoni was given a gold medal two
years ago and an equally valuable en-
dorsement last year, yet the form which
the committee recognizes as an improve-
ment only gets the silver medal.)

John Scott, silver m£dal for Nephro-
lepis exaltata Scottii, which the commit-
tee pronounced as of great value.

L. Dupuy, highly commended for
Hydrangea Hortensia rosea.

W. F. Kasting, certificate of merit for
Adiantum Croweanum.

The Templin Co., certificate of merit
for Begonia Templinii.

A. G. Greiner, bronze medal for collec-
tion of cacti.

The selection of a place of meeting
for 1905 being next in order, W. F.

Gude spoke for "Washington. There
were several seconds and the selectioh
was made unanimously.

E. G. Hill then read his paper, "The
Development of an American Type of
Eoses, " which provoked a very interest-
ing discussion. A. Jablonsky urged the
necessity of eliminating black spot.
Mr. O'Mara said that if we get rid of
spot by hybridzing with rugosa we shall
get spines. Mr. Hill thought not neces-
sarily. Mr. O'MJara said that J. C.
Koch, of Baltimore, still maintains that
American Beauty is a seedling raised by
him and not of French origin, pointing
out the experience of his firm with
Dinsmore and Mme. Chas. Wood as an
example that such might be the case.
He would like to see the society help to
prove Beauty of American origin, for it
certainly has its highest development and
use here. W. E. Smith thought it a
good matter to let alone. Mr. Lonsdale
asked about the use of Bordeaux mix-
ture on roses out of doors. He advo-
cated vigilance rather than varieties
which would take care of themselves.
Mr. Hill said Bordeaux is extensively
used in nurseries, but apparently healthy
plants of some varieties sometimes suc-
cumb to black spot in a few hours, and
said that the present business in roses is
insignificant in comparison with what it
would be if we had truly dependable
varieties.

Eeplying to a query by J. A. Valen-
tine, Mr. Hill said that the act of pol-
linating is simple; that the point is to
ripen the seed. Climatic conditions have
much effect on pollen, but it is not nec-
essary to use it fresh; it may be stored,
some time, six weeks or so, if kept care-
fully in a vial or box, not necessarily
air-tight. Mr. Hill used a camel's hair
brush or a chewed up splinter of pine
to apply the pollen. One year he fer-

tilized over 1,500 Brides and Maids and
in spite of every care nearly all the
hips rotted. The plants have to be kept
on the dry side, very carefully syringed
and free of red spider. One year 8,000
seeds germinated, almost all; the next
year, with equal care only one-
fourth germinated. E. D. Smith, Wm.
Scott and several others spoke and Mr.
Hill was given a hearty vote of thanks.

George Klehm's paper on bulb grow-
ing in IllinoiB was read by the secretary
and briefly discussed, after which J. C.
Vaughan was introduced to read a paper
on "The Ideal Employe.". He began
by quoting from Hubbard's "letter to
Garcia" and closed by quoting his later
article to employes, "Get Out or Get in
Line." The rest of the address was
on that order, the speaker holding that
"Do it now" is a truly talismanic motto
for those who wish to achieve success.
Industry, loyalty and discretion were dis-
cussed as essential attributes of the idetil
employe, the speaker illustrating, as he
said, from his own experience.

The address provoked a very lively
and interesting discussion. Benj. Ham-
mond and several others commended it
in highest terms and endorsed the theo-
ries advanced, but J. A. Valentine took
issue with the statement of the essayist
that it is the duty of employes to report
errors of fellow employes; he said that
is "knocking," and all the world hates
a "knocker." But Patrick O'Mara
brought out the laugh when he said
that according to the ideas of Mr. Hub-
bard, Mr. Vaughan and others, the ideal
employe would be deaf, couldn't hear
the whistle blow to quit work, and
dumb, so he couldn't talk of the busi-
ness on the outside. He told a story to
illustrate the diflferonce in what employ-
ers expect from a man, and said that
' * Like master, like man ' ' applies in this
case; where you find the ideal employe,
not far do you have to search for the
ideal employer. He advised the com-
plainants of the Elbert Hubbard school

to put that in their pipes and smoke it.
Carmody called for an essay, "The
Ideal Employer," at the next conven-
tion. Mr. Vaughan was given a hearty
vote of thanks.

The visit to the brewery was set for
Thursday afternoon.

The matter of procedure in case of
no election by the first ballot on Thurs-
day was brought up by W. F. Gude,
who had been reading the constitution
and found it silent on that point. It
provoked a very lively debate, with the
consensus of opinion that, should an
event ever arise, it would he proper to
proceed to a second ballot.

Wm. Scott nominated Lewis Ullrich
for president; seconded by F. H. Kra-
mer. Kobert Craig nominated J. C.
Vaughan, with several seconds.

W. F. Kasting nominated J. K. Free-
man, of Washington, for vice president;
seconded by G. H. Cook. W. R. Smith
nominated J. K. Small, Jr., but it devel-
oped that he is not a member of the
Washington Florists' Club and was not
last year a member of the S. A. F.

J. G. Esler nominated J. F. Sullivan
for secretary; seconded by E. G. Hill.
Edwin Lonsdale nominated W. J. Stew-
art; seconded by Mr. Manda.

H. B. Beatty was the only nominee
for treasurer.

On roll call the following state vice-
presidents were named: California, H.
Plath; Colorado, J. A. Valentine; Dis-
trict of Columbia, Peter Bissett; North-
ern Illinois, P. J. Hauswirth; Indiana,
Irwin Bertermann; Iowa, Theo. Ewald;
Louisiana, H. Papworth; Maryland, TJ.
Vincent, Jr.; Eastern Massachusetts, W.
W. Edgar; Western Michigan, Henry
Smith; Northern Michigan, Wm. Weber;
Missouri, F. J. Fillmore; Western New
York, Geo. McClure; Eastern New York,
F. H. Traendly; North Carolina, J. M.
Lamb; Northern Ohio, Jas. Eadie;
Southern Ohio, H. M. Altick; Pennsyl-
vania, AV. T. Bell; Wisconsin, W. A.
Kennedy.

Ladies' Day.

Wednesday was ladies' day and a
very large number enjoyed the hospital-
ities provided. In the morning two
games were bowled at the Palace alleys,
with so many competitors that it
was 1:30 before the final pin fell,
with Chicago at the head, represented by
Mrs. Hauswirth and Mrs. Kreitling.
Lunch was served at the alleys. In the
afternoon five special cars, decorated,
took the ladies and many gentlemen to
O 'Fallen park, where another luncheon
was served, the party returning to town
at seven o'clock. Before leaving the
park three cheers were given for the St.
Louis Florists' Club and three more for
the ladies of the club, for every one was
delighted at their hospitality. The
cheers were proposed by President Breit-
meyer and the ladies then gave three
cheers for him.

Thursday's Proceedinsfs.

There was a lar^ attendance, the
first business being the appointment of
Messrs. Elser, Aitick and Anunann to
conduct the election. The Australian
ballot system was used, the polls open
two hours.

Secretary Stewart then read J. A. Pet-
tigrew's paper on "The Improvement of
Public and Private Grounds." This was
warmly received and was endorsed and
supplemented by Messrs. W. R. Smith,
Scott, Vaughan, Fulmer, and D. D.
England of Winnipeg.

The committee on standard sizes of
bulbs and cut flowers presented a re-
port signed by E. H. Cushman, F. J.
Michell and John Nugent, Jr. In it
was incorporated Mr. Nugent 's scale for
roses presented on Tuesday and referred
back to the committee. In addition, the
committee reported that the sizes of im-
ported bulbs are too well known to re-
quire change. The grading of canna
and dahlia roots was deemed imprac-
ticable. Grades for gladioli were recom-
mended as follows: Five to seven in-

August 18, 1904.

ches in circumference, four to five, and
three to four. Mr. Scott renewed his
protest as to impracticability of such
grades and the report was tabled.

J. A. Peterson read his paper on "In-
door Blooming Plants ' ' aiul was given a
vote of thanks.

The amendment to the constitution, to
provide for sections, was taken up and
provoked the liveliest debate of the con-
vention. Opinion was unanimous as to
the desirability of the object, but views
differed widely as to the practicability
of the method proposed. A motion to
adopt was declared defeated, but W. K.
Smith called for a division which re-
sulted in defeat twenty-two to thirty.
Many present not voting.

The question box filled the interim un-
til the result of the election was de-
clared, which was as follows:

For president, J. C. Vaughan, 166;
Lewis Ullrich, 99;

For vice-president, J. E. Freeman,
246.

For secretary, J. F. Sullivan, 115;
W. J. Stewart, 148.

For treasurer, H. B. Beatty, 257.

The judges of trade display asked
leave to correct an error, and amend
their report by giving honorable men-
tion to Bayersdorfer & Co. for rain-
bow baskets.

G. L. Grant, J. L. Dillon and J. F.
Sullivan were appointed a committee on
final resolutions, and the convention ad-
journed.

Breitmeyer Gets Diamond.

In recognition of the able and impar-
tial manner in which ex-President Breit-
meyer had presided, his friends in the so-
ciety presented him with a handsome dia-
mond stud.

For Thursday afternoon there was
the shooting tournament, the trip to the
brewery and the meeting of tlie carna-
tion society. For Friday, deferred busi-
ness, addresses by eminent visitors, the
garden party at Shaws Garden and a
trip to Tower Grove park.

President's Reception.

The president's reception Tuesday
evening was under the management of
J. J. Beneke. Several hundred people
passed the receiving line, after which
short entertainment was provided, part
professional, the quartette being excel-
lent. J. W. Eodgers, of Cincinnati, sang
most acceptably, and Miss Pearl Ful-
mer, of De8 Moines, received a warm
welcome. The Koenig family octette also
sang and J. J. Beneke atppeared in
black face, being introduced as St. Louis '
Lew Dockstader. He made a great hit.
Later in the evening refreshments were

THE TRADE EXHIBITION.

The trade exhibits, if they did not oc-
cupy quite so much space ^s at Milwau-
kee, were just as numerous and of equal
diversity and quality. Several of the
large plantsmen did not exhibit • such
quantities of stock as last year; that was
the only feature in which the display was
not the best in the history of the society.
The supply men made very pretentious
displays and showed a wealth of novel-
ties of value to the storekeepers. These
remarkable exhibits should alone com-
pensate the members of this branch of
the craft for attendance. The plant
displays were numerous, of uniform
high quality, and an .opportunity was
afforded for the examination of several
fine novelties. Scottii was the conspicu-
ous feature among these Because of the
great size of the exhibit, but the others
were by no means overlooked. The build-
ing material was less of a feature than
usual, partly due to a location away
from the main body of exhibits, but a
good showing was made nevertheless.
Supt. Kuehn is entitled to praise for the
able way in which he handled the ex-
hibition. Nearly every exhibit was in
place Monday evening and the arrange-
ment left no room for criticism. Follow-
ing are the exhibitors, with very brief
mention of their wares:

S. S. Pennock, Philadelphia, made a

very large display of ribbons, including
all grades and colorings, and many nov-
elties in ties, etc., also crepe papers,
sheaves and other supplies.

ing a large space. They showed sev-
eral good novelties.

kets, vases, staple supplies and novelties,
a number of the latter of the kind that
catch on. They also had a big lot of

ture. Bay trees of juscus were noted.

AN AMERICAN TYPE OF ROSES.

BY E. a. HILL, RICHMOND, IND.

[Read before the Society of Americuu Florists
at St. Louis, August 17, 1904.]

By the question implied in the topic
assigned me by the executive committee
of this society, "The Development of
an American Type of Roses, ' ' we may
infer that there is need of largely sup-
plementing our present list of roses as
grown in this country. Nothing can be
truer than that the general rose grower
feels this need and it is to the careful
hybridist and the persevering raiser of
seedling roses suited to our climate, that
we must look for this supplemental list.

"We need roses that will bloom in our
grounds and gardens during the summer
and autumn. Climatic conditions vary
so greatly in our country that it would
seem necessary that several types should

be brought out, adapted to the various
conditions and requirements of the dif-
ferent sections.

The Pacific G>ast Supplied.

It may be remarked in passing that
California and the Pacific coast states
have an ample source of supply for all
practical purposes in the fine produc-
tions of the rosarians of England and
the continent of Europe. The varieties
that succeed and flourish in the sections
named do remarkably well, also, in the
South Atlantic and Gulf states, hence
an effort to originate a new type for
these particular localities would seem an
unnecessary undertaking, although there
can, and will, be improvements over
such sorts as now lend charm and beauty
to the homes and gardens of the sec-
tions named above. Some fine additions
have been made the past few years, but
it will be a long time before such
grand old sorts as Ophirie, Lamarque,
Solfaterre, Eeine Marie Henriette and
Mnie. Alfred Carriere are supplanted as
climbers in the Pacific section, to say
nothing of the large number of grand
bush varieties which flourish with such
vigor and produce such quantities of
flowers.

The European rose hybridist, assisted
by a kind Providence, has placed at the
disposal of the states of Washington
and Oregon, all that could be desired
in the way of fine roses; no section
of Europe produces finer hybrid perpet-
uals and hybrid teas than do these two
states.

If you would see Xavier Olibo, Louis
Van Houtte, Ulrich Brunner and other
choicest hybrid perpetuals, together with
a sight of the finest La France that
soil can produce — then go to the Lewis
& Clark Exposition a year hence, in
Portland, Oregon. I am sure that you
will not be disappointed.

Essentials of an American Type.

That we need a new type of rose for
the section north of Virginia and Ten-
nessee calls for no argument whatever.
One of the first requirements of the type
is a vigor of constitution that will with-

stand the ravages of black-spot, or
fungus, which is the first cause fcr
failure in our efforts to grow roses suc-
cessfully in the northern section of our
country. A few varieties succeed, but
only a very few .thrive and blo6m as
they should; there are a limited number
of favored localities where roses do very
well in the north, but they are few and
very far between.

The second requirement is a resistant
texture of bloom, stronger than that
possessed by most of the hybrid per-
petuals, hybrid teas, and teas.

It is well settled in your essayist 'a
mind that the two qualities mentioned
above are absolutely necessary to the
new type that we are seeking, if it is
to be of sterling value, and with these
must be united the third quality, a hard-
iness which will take it uninjured
through our rigorous winter^.

The Method of Procedure.

How shall we proceed in order to
secure a disease-resisting rose, with sub-
stantial texture of petal in its flowers,
that shall withstand the fierce on-
slaught of the sun in our hot, dry cli-
mate and possessing a degree of har<H-
ness that will insure life throTigh our
severe winters? This is the problem
before us.

At first glance it would seem an impos-
sible undertaking, for where shall we
turn for the blood to so reinvigorate
our standard roses, and who among us
will undertake to devote time and ser-
vice and brain to an undertaking of
such doubtful remuneration and yet so
laudable ?

Or will the lovers of roses continue to
be satisfied with the partial succe»«s
achieved by using present varieties anl
by various expedients jn-oducing a more
or less artificial result, not at all ade-
quate to the expense and labor bestowed.

Rugosa the Vigorous Blood.

There are a number of distinct species
of roses that should, and no doubt will,
be tried for this particular line (;f
hybridizing. First I would name Rosa
rogusa. While this species might not

give us texture of bloom, there could
be no doubt but that its offspring would
have disease-resisting foliage and a
probability of hardiness sufficient to
veithstand our winters. This should be
tried persistently, using pollen from our
best hybrid perpet'uals, hybrid teas and
teas, using the rugosa as the seed-bear-
ing plant, and, while it would require a
long line of crossing and crossing back,
I have little doubt but that from this
source can finally be secured our cov-
eted type, which would supply our
northern gardens with an ideal rose.

Bruant, Cochet, Muller, Wintzer and
others have made a start in this direc-
tion. We have Bruant 's cross between
B. rugosa and Niphetos, named Mme.
Georges Bruant. This variety has the
lengthened bud of Niphetos, showing
distinctly the influence of the tea vari-
ety.

Blanc double de Coubert is a charming
shrub for lawn decoration and a most
promising subject for cross-fertilization.
Conrad F. Meyer is a variety to which
has been transmitted much of the full-
ness and color of the male parent, which
is said to be Gloire de Dijon. Atro-
purpurea, one of Geo. Paul's hybrid
rugosas, will furnish the dark tints in
any color scheme devised or planned.
Sir Thomaa Lipton, an American hybrid
introduced by Conard & Jones Co., is
said to possess many excellent charac-
teristics.

I mention the above believing them to
be the most useful of the rugosa hybrids
and having made the most distinct
breaks from rugosa proper. Other ru-
gosa hybrids are Philemon Cochet, Alice
Aldrich, Belle Poitevine, Mme. Worth,
Calocarpa, Bose Apples. Chedane Guin-
noiseau, Christopk* Cochet and Piette
Leperdrieux, and these are not all^
They are enumerated to show what has
been done witn this type and as a re-
minder tint'* the bylfridiet Tie^ not go
back to the original but can use some of
the fine breaks already made.

Immunity from Disease.

I wish to reiterate the previous state-
ment, that I firmly believe that immun-
ity from the disease known as black-
spot must come through an infusion of
rugosa blood, and I would further state

that your essayist is not speaking from
practical experience in the matter of
crossing the present popular varieties of
roses with the rugosas, as his efforts
have been more largely made in trying
to secure new sorts suitable for forcing
under glass.

Other species of roses may offer as
fruitful a field for the hybridist as the
rugosa, and why not try what can be
done with our native American species?
The climbing Prairie types were secured
from this source, and they certainly
possess hardiness in connection with a
fair amount of fullness, two distinct
qualities essential to the new type.

Wichuraiana and Crimson Rambler.

American hybridists have given \is
many charming Wichuraiana crosses and
fine results have crowned the efforts of
Messrs. Van Fleet, Manda, Walsh, Per-
kins and Dawson. The serious question
often propounded is, are they liardy?
Sometimes they winter perfectly and
again an occasional season finds them
killed back severely. Your essayist has
not had long enough experience with
outdoor-grown stock of Dorothy Per-
kins, Farquhar, W. C. Egan, Manda 's
Triumph and other Wichuraiana crosses
to speak with certainty as to their hard-
iness, but he believes that it is affirmed
of them by their raisers.

Crimson Bambler is at once the most
unique and the most satisfactory rose
grown in the northern half of our coun-
try. No other rose can dispute with it
the right to a first place in general popu-
larity with the American people, for
porch and pillar purposes. The wide
dissemination of the rose, its tremendous
sale the present season and the prospec-
tive demand for future planting, exceeds
that of any otlier ro«» introduced into
American gardens.

Experiments at Kichmond with this
variety tend to strengthen the opinion
that a few years -will give us white,
blush and intermediate shades in this
particular interesting rose. To be sure,
we have had Aglia, Thalia and Euph-
rosyne, but between these and Turner's
Crimson Bambler there is a wide differ-
ence of character.

Years of Work Needed.
To secure the new type of garden

rose outlined will necessitate careful,
painstaking labor extending over a long
period of time. A year or two will not
bring it to us. It has taken a full
third of a century to bring the hybrid
tea to its present stage of development.
It is a long stride from Antoine Verdier,
Mile. Bonnaire and La France to the
family as it is composed today. It might
be mentioned in passing that the three
varieties named above were the result of
accidental insect pollination. The evo-
lution of the hybrid tea class is men-
tiored simply to show that time and
patience are prime factors in creating
and perfecting a new type.

We, the members of this society, might
earnestly question as to how we can best
aid in a consummation so earnestly de-
sired, so necessary to the widening popu-
larity of the rose in our American gar-
dens. Enthusiastic personal effort must
bo the groundwork of the movement,
which may be encouraged by the award
of the society's medal to meritorious
seedlings whose constitution and texture
of bloom make them desirable additions
to our outdoor roses. As indicated pre-
viously, the efforts at Bichmond have
all been made in the interest of winter
blooming sorts and, while this has been
the aim, several very promising varieties
other than forcing sorts have been pro-
duced which are now being tested as
garden varieties.

A Gise of Dereliction.

The florists of America have been no-
toriously lax as a profession in their
efforts to improve the rose, nearly all
our finest varieties being of foreign
origin and, while we may rightly covet
the honor of producing something fine
and grand, we have been exceedingly
blameworthy in sanctioning the act which
robbed an eminent French rosarian of
his honors, when we allowed the renam-
ing of Mme. Ferdinand Jamain, calling
it American Beauty.

We have the genius and the talent to
produce an American type of rose if
our members will but apply themselves
to the task at hand. Shall we attempt
this work or shall we go on in the old
way, trusting to luck and to the products
of foreign skill to supply us with roses
suitable for our own gardens and homes t

AMERICAN BULB GROWING.

BY QEOBOK KLBHM, ABUNOTON HEIGHTS, ILL.

[Read before the Society of American Florists
at St. Louis, August 17, 1904.]

Our experience in the cultivation of
bulbs on a moderate scale at Arlington
Heights, 111., began in 1885, with the
ordinary kinds of tulips which are used
for forcing purposes, together with
about half a dozen kinds of narcissus.

We selected a low, well drained, deep
black loam for the purpose. The ground
was heavily manured in April with the
ordinary manure from the horses and
cows, deeply plowed and kept cultivated
during the summer, until the middle of
August, when planting commenced, and
by the first of September was finished.
In the beginning we grew everything in
long rows fifteen inches apart, and bulbs
of the first size were spaced three inches.
Afterward we changed to growing in
beds four feet wide with rows nine
inches apart and spaced three inches, that
is, for the first size. The stock was
graded into firsts, seconds and thirds.
The average depth when planted would
be three inches to the top of the bulb.
Just before Thanksgiving day a mulch-
ing of short manure, three inches thick,
wns spread evenly over the whole sur-
face, about a third of which was re-
moved in the first week of April.

The flowers were all removed just be-
fore opening, care being taken to leave
the stems as long as possible. The
growth was encouraged and maintained
so as to ripen the bulbs thoroughly be-
fore digging. Some kinds, such as Ar-
tus. Due Van Thol, La Eeine and Pot-
tebakker, occasionally suffered in the
hot spells of weather which often hap-
pen in early May, while such kinds as
EAizerskroon, Cottage Maid and Yellow
Prince were not in the least affected.
Neither were the Parrots, Gloria Soils,
(Jesneriana, or the other species we grew.
After digging, the bulbs were put in
trays about three inches thick and placed
in an open shed until dry, when they
were cleaned, graded and placed in dark
storage till planting time.

As regards the size and quality of the
bulbs, compared with those imported,
the majority of the varieties did not
produce as large bulbs, but in the earli-
ness and ease of forcing the size of the
flower and length of the stem when
grown under the same conditions, but
little if any differences were observa-
ble. Our crops of bulbs for several years
averaged more than 100,000.

Of the narcissus we grew the double
varieties, as Von Sion, Orange and Sul-
phur Phoenix and Poeticus. Of the sin-
gle, Bicolor, Tenby, early and late Poet-
icus and jonquils. These were given
about the same treatment as the tulips,
except that as a rule they were not taken
out of the soil until about the first of
July, when the largest bulbs were se-
lected for forcing and the smaller ones
were planted after the tulips. For some
years we grew quantities of Von Sion
and the single poeticus for cutting out
f f doors. Some years they were profita-
ble enough; other years they did not
more than clear expenses.

We have been growing lily of the val-
ley extensively for ten years. They are
planted in heavily manured ground, as
soon as the spring opens, in rows two
feet apart and the pips are spaced two
inches. They are cultivated and kept
free from weeds for three seasons and
lioavily mulched with manure each fall
about the first of December. As soon

i)f the foliage ripens, or after the first
frost, about the first of October, they
are plowed out about five inches deep
and shaken out with forks, then carted
into a shed open on all sides, but with a
tight roof. After lying thinly for a
few days, they are turned over aiid after-
wards sorted into first size for forc-
ing, and second and third for planting.
Our first planting for forcing commences
the first of December, when we have our
first crop of flowers at Christmas. And,
c(»ntrary to newly imported pips, those
of our own growing give abundant foli-
age at all times, and the quality of the
flowers, both in size and substance and
the number of bells, far surpass any
imported. The price realized is on an
average one-third more, and sometimes
one-half more, than can be obtained for
the general kind of lily of the valley.

We have discontinued the growing of
tulips and narcissi for several reasons.
The demand for flowers from forced
bulbs has materially decreased during
the last eight years and the decrease in
prices consequently followed. The rapid
increase of our nursery business demands
all our attention. The price of labor,
together with the difficulty in obtaining
that of reliability, are the principal rea-
sons for our not continuing the work.
We aro satisfied, however, that where
suitable land can be had and where ma-
nure and labor can be readily obtained,
tulips and narcissi can be made to yield
a moderate profit.

We regret very much that we are not
able to present the very interesfing es-

say, * ' Thei Ideal Employe, ' ' not having

quested.

INDOOR BLOOMING PLANTS.

BY J. A. PETKESON, CINCINNATI, OHIO.

[Head before the Society of American Flor-
ists at St. Louis, August 18, 1904.]

The subject assigned to me is indeed
a very exhaustive one, to which I do
not feel able to do justice before such an
intelligent body as the Society of Amer-
ican Florists and Ornamental Horticul-
turists. I will therefore confine myself
to a few plants, of which I make a
specialty, and which I hope will be ac-
ceptable. And first on my list, because
of its popularity, I will place Hydrangea
Otaksa.

Hydrangea Otaksa.

This is, perhaps, next to the Easter
lily, one of the most popular as well as
one of the most profitable plants grown
for the Easter trade. Outside of being
an enormous water-drinker, it is of very
easy culture. As a decorative plant it
has few equals; as an outdoor decorative
plant, and for porches, it lasts longer in
bloom and gives better satisfaction than
any other flowering plant.

Plants for forcing, to be most success-
ful, if you desire fine specimens, should
be grown in pots. Propagate from the
young, soft, side shoots, or those that
come from the bottom of the plant, as
early as January, February or March.
They may also be propagated later in the
season, as late as June or July, if you
desire single plants with only one bloom.
More bushy plants are, however, prefer-
able, as your customers will seldom be.

satisfied with one large bloom, but will
prefer the more shapely plants. As to
culture, insert the cuttings in the sand,
press firmly, syringe freely and shade
from the direct rays of the sun. A tem-
perature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit should
be maintained. They should remain in
the sand about three weeks, to become
strongly rooted, then pot into 3-inch
pots; use a light sandy loam; place in
a light, cool house, near the glass, 50
to 55 degrees at night; shade for a few
days; as soon as established remove tlie
shade. They may remain here till about
the 1st of May.

To make large plants in one season,
from cutting^, put three plants in a 5-
inch pot or five plants in a 6-inch pot.
These may now be plunged outdoors in
the full sun, where they will grow slow-
ly, as a sturdy, dwarf plant is what is
most desired. As late aa July 1 you
may pinch them back. This will pro-
duce several shoots, all of which should
be removed, except two to each plant;
you will then have six shoots in a 5-inch
pot or ten shoots in a 6-inch pot. Re-
move all other growth. Give water as
required during the summer months. By
the Ist of September these plants may
be repotted, the 5-inch to 7-inch pots, the 6-
inch to 8-inch pots, and again plunged
outdoors in the full sun. Use a good,
strong loam, three parts loam to one
part sand, and two parts old rotted cow
manure. Pot firmly.

By October you will have nice plants
from five to six inches high. At this
period water shotild be gradually with-

held, so as to ripen the wood, for if
they are not properly ripened you can-
not expect good results. As soon as
danger of frost comes, remove to a cool
house or frame and water sparingly. If
you can allow your plants a slight frost
they will be greatly benefited by same,
but here one must be careful not to
freeze too hard. Also, if frozen, pro-
tect from the sun; syringe overhead to
remove the ice formed. This is, however,
a dangerous practice for inexperienced
hands.

Prom now on give very little or no
water except when flagging. This is the
time to put away in winter quarters.
A cool frame, a cool house or under the
bench in a violet house will do. Here
they may rest until wanted for forcing.
As Easter comes late this coming year,
namely, April 23, it will be time enough
to start the forcing after Christmas;
the first week in January will do. Start
the plants by giving them a good water-
ing; syringe frequently and then allow
them to stand ujtil they are fairly dry
again. A temperature of 55 degrees
will do for the first two or three weeks;
then you may increase the temperature to
55 or 60 degrees atMiight^Give plenty
of ventilatioir as required, but no
draught, as the growth will be very soft
and tender. Remove all side shoots and
those that come from the bottom. These
may be used as cuttings, ftemember
that only the terminal shoots will flower
with any degree of certainty. As the
])lants grow stronger they should have
plenty of room. When they have made

the fourth pair of leaves you can begin
to see the embryo buds; this will take
about six weeks. From this time on plenty
of water should be given, all they will
drink, and that is a great deal. As
soon as the flowers begin to develop and
show color a watering with manure-water
twice a week will be greatly beneficial.
The latter part of March they will be-
gin to show color. This is the time to
increase the ventilation, night and day,
and keep them cool to harden them.
Water freely, also give a very light shade
on the glass to keep the flowers from
burning.

Hydrangeas grown as above described
will need no stakes and, as these are un-
sightly in any plant, their use should
be avoided as much as possible. If plants
are wanted for May and June, for porch
and outdoor garden decoration, thfey
should be kept dormant in a cool place
and started on only as required. If a
blue hydrangea is desired, use iron fil-
ings mixed with the soil, about a small
handful to an 8-inch pot; 'also water-
ing with alum dissolved in water will
be found to produce the desired result.

Begonia Gloire de Lorraine.

I now wish to call your attention to
another highly decorative plant, which,
in my estimation, stands without a peer,
the incomparable Begonia Gloire de Lor-
raine. This begonia, by far the most
useful and truly magnificent of all be-
gonias, is a hybrid between Begonia
Socotrana and B. Dregei. It was raised
by that celebrated horticulturist, M. Le-
moine, of Nancy, France.

To derive the best results this plant
should be propagated from leaf-cuttings.
Select only good, mature leaves. Take
the leaf, including the stalk, and insert
the latter about oue-half its length in
the sand-bed ; press firmly. By all means
do not let the leaf rest flat on the sand,
as they damp easily. This operation
should be done carefully. Water spar-
iugly only on bright days. If possible,
a temperature of from 65 to 70 degrees
Fahrenheit should be maintained in the
sand-bed at all times. In about eight
weeks the leaves should be sufficiently
rooted to be potted into 2-inch pots.

The small "conns" that form at the
base of the leaves should also appear.
Take care not to break or otherwise in-
jure these in potting, as they form the
foundation of the future plant.

For the first potting use equal parts
of loam and sand. After potting place
in a rather dry house,' close to the glass,
where a light shade should be given.
Watering should be done very sparingly
from now on by watering each plant
separately and only when very dry. Keep
rather on the dry side than too wet.
Also, deep potting should be avoided.

They may remain in 2-inch pots from
January and February, the time of pot-
ting, until June, at which time you should
have nice little stuff, with from three
to five shoots, if propagated from leaf-
cuttings. Then your trouble is all over.
Repot directly into 4-inch pots and from
now on they will continue to grow rapid-
ly; more water may also be given, as
needed. More shoots will also appear
from the bottom of the plants as they
grow stronger. Place in a cool, airy
house, ventilating top and bottom ; also
well shaded at this time of the year. A
good plan is to put a few tobacco stems
between the pots, as a preventive of
green aphis. Water may now be given

iiiore freely, as you can almost see the
plants growing.

About August 15 to September 1 the
final repotting will be in order. For
compost use three parts good, turfy loam,
two parts sand and one part very old
manure. "Use 6-inch or 7-inch azalea
pots, according to the size of your plants.
One plant is sufficient for each pot, if
you have plants propagated from leaf
cuttings.

I will here say that this plant can
also be propagated easily from cuttings
during May, June and July, but these
will not make as fine, sturdy plants as
the above method. They will, however,
make nice little plants for 3-inch pots
for the holidays, suitable for jardiiiieres
or table decoration. If large plants are
desired from cuttings you will have to
put from five to eight plants in a 6-ineh
OT 7-inch pot in order to be properly
furnished. Then, again, one plant in a
pot always looks better than where a lot
are massed together.

During the summer the plants should
be pinched back, each shoot to two or
three joints, so as to form shapely plants.
This should be discontinued after Au-
gust. In pinching this way you not
only have no flowers during summer, but
you also insure a stronger growth. About
September 1 they are ready for tying.
This may be done by using one stake
in the center of the plant, looping each
shoot loosely to same with raffia. This
should be done as often as required. By
November 1 the first blooms will appear.
These should be removed if you desire
a lot for late flowering.

Begonia Gloire de Lorraine is not only
useful as a single specimen but it may
also be used very effectively in table
decorations. Small plants in 3-inch pots
are vfery effective for this purpose. It
is also very useful for floral designs.
Let me say that Begonia Gloire de Lor-
raine is a plant that has come to stay.

Begonia Turnford Hall, a white va-
riety with a pleasing shade of delicate
pink, as in the appleblossom, is a sport
of Begonia Gloire de Lorraine which
appeared a short time ago in the London
markets. It gives promise of being a
grand companion to Gloire de Lorraine
•and will be quite as useful as its parent.
It will, in all probability, be in the
market next season.

Other Good Subjects.

Among desirable plants for indoor
culture I would also mention Azalea In-
dica, with its bright and delicate shades
of pink, white and red, which can be
had in flower from Christmas till Easter.
Poinsettia pulcherrima,. with its dazzling
scarlet bracts, is especially useful for
Christmas decorations. Euphorbia Jac-
quiniseflora has exceedingly pretty
racemes of orange-colored flowers.

Primula obconica and its newer hy-
brids, from white to dark pink, and
fringed, is also very pretty, of easy cul-
ture and gives great satisfaction. Cycla-
mens, in white, pink and scarlet, also
the newer fringed types called Papilio,
on account of their butterfly appearance,
are among the most useful and satisfac-
tory. Lilium Harrisii and L. longi-
florum no commercial florist can do with-
out, as they are equally desirable for
all decorative purposes.

Other plants of special merit I Would
like to mention are primulas, calceolar-
ias, cinerarias, acacias, ericas, epacris,
epiphyllum, dendrobium, cattleyas, odon-
toglossums, phalsenopsis — in fact, this
list might be extended indefinitely, as
there are so many beautiful and desir-
able plants that could be considered
under this subject, "Indoor Flowering
Plants. ' '

Chicago gets the Kasting. champion-
ship cup for this year; also the Anheu-
ser-Busch cups which become their prop-
erty; also the Beatty cup which must be
won twice, and silver match safes for
each member of the team from Beatty.

BOSTON.

The Market.

Business has been quite good during
the past week, flowers generally clearing
out well. Some very nice American Beau-
ties are coming in, prices varying from
$6 to $16 per 100. Carnots and Kaiser-
ins clean out well. Brides and Brides-
maids continue rather poor. Carnations
of decent quality sell at $2. The sup-
ply of outdoor blooms continues small.
Asters are not of very good quality.
Good whites bring 75 cents to $1, col-
ored ones also selling quite well. Sweet
peas are coming badly spotted and are
practically over for the season. Glad-
ioli continue in fair supply. Lilium
speciosum album sells at $3 to $4 per
100, Lilium auratum averaging about
$6. Prices of fern and asparagus remain
about the same. A decided scarcity of
white flowers seemg likely until carna-
tions and chrysanthemums come in.

Variotis Notes.

The Gardeners' an^ Florists' Cluh
outing will be held at Nahant, on Aug-
ust 25. The journey will be made by
steamer and a shore dinner with all the
"fixins" will be one of the attractions.

None of our florists seemed to pluck
up enthusiasm enough to essay the jour-
ney to St. Louis. Too busy at home and
too hot at St. Tjouis seemed to be the
causes. We are sorry the worthy secre-

tary of the S. A. F. O. H. had no dele-
gation to accompany him.

Worcester Conservatories are sending
in some very nice Beauties to our market
at present.

Boston is crowded with Tisitors this
week with the annual G. A. E. en-
campment and the city is gayly deco-
rated. Some of the decorations in the
public gardens are in exceedingly bad
taste, while some of the bedding out
is sufficient to give one the nightmare,
but most of the visitors seem pleased
with the same.

Continuous rains in the form of
thunder showers is causing carnations
not housed to spot badly.

The management of the Flower Mar-
ket posted "To Let" notices the past
week in the stalls of members who were
in arrears for renb and premiums. Money
poured freely into the treasury as a con-
sequence.

Kenneth Finlayson is out again after
a long and painful illness.

E, N. Peirce, of Waverly, came from
Maine to attervd the G. A. E. Encamp-
ment this week.

Henry Hurrell, of Lager & Hurrell,
made us a brief call last week. He re-
ported orchid business as first-class.

A. T. Boddington has also been doing
Boston and vicinity.

ST. PAUL.

Dear Eeview: —

For the first time this season we have
just now real summer weather, warm,
very warm, indeed, and the crop of an-
nuals is coming in heavy lots and sell at*
any price. Asters are over-plentiful and
vrill become a drug in the market. Good
roses are in demand, carnations being no
good and are gone to the dogs quifce a
while. Quite a few of our growers put'
in more roses, claiming carnations
at $1 to $2 per 100 even in mid-
winter do not pay at all. En-
chantress is all the rage just now.
They are all putting in quite a
few of it. I consider Lawson as the
best paying carnation. Its deep striking
shade of dark, rose-cerise, lustrous and
glowing, affecting and effecting every-
one's eye, always finds a willing buyer.
We know there are many new ones in
the market claiming the same merit. It
may be so, but the Spaniard says
"Queen sabe! Bias sabe. " (Who
knows! God knows.)

The twin cities florist outing at Wild
Wood, White Bear Lake, Eamsey Coun-
ty, Minn., was a howling success in
spite of- bad weather, because there isn't
a lovelier sheet of water for summer rec'
reation in any of the states. If there is
a better one, gentlemen, let me know,
please.

Chas. Vogt and Henry Puvogel at-
tended the Saengerfest in Milwaukee,
and enjoyed themselves immensely and
helped the Saengers to kill the breweries.

Carl Peterson quit business far good.
His embonpoint does not allow green-
house work.

Carl Keiper, a good plant grower, also
abandoned his place, intending to go
west. Good luck.

W. Strehlow, our violet expert, is
celebrating to-day, his birthday and en-
gagement to Miss Puvogel. Tbat's a
double header and three cheers for Bill.

F. Franke is erecting a new house for
violets 16x110. We 'wish him success.

SWEET PEAS.

In the August 4 issue of the Review
I saw the questions asked by H. L. H.
about sweet peas. Three winters ago J
wintered some sweet peas, in what
seemed to me an unusual way, consider-
ing we never have less than two inches
of ice and as many of snow, which is
sufficient to kill peas.

About September I planted the seed
in a long box containing about four or
five inches of soil from alluvial land.
They sprouted but the plants did not
do well. They would not grow even in
the cooler autumn days when garden
peas were bearing abundantly. As long
as there was life though, I hoped and
took care of them.

All during the winter they were only
about six to twelve inches high and
when the cold snap came, I laid old sacks
over them in which we had gotten
ice. The box was placed always in a
southeast angle of the house. As soon
as the milder weather began, the vines
grew with it till they were roaming over
a space of about four to five feet as high
as the supports and as long as the box
(box was about six inches wide) and
covered with perfect, beautiful flowers
all spring till into the summer.

I kept the box watered night and
morning and fertilized with liquid barn-
yard manure. The flowers (sweet peas)
were blooming before my neighbors'
were well started to grow.

The Market

Business has been dragging its slow
course onward as it usually does at this
time of year. Now and then there is a
little stir in the market, due to funeral
work, but it is the exception. Stock is
none too plentiful, either. Roses of any
kind are scarce. Beauties, Brides, and
Kaiserins being most in evidence and
they sell quickly.

There are not many carnations. A
very few good ones are to be had, also
a few short-stemmed ones from the field.
The demand is good, also the price and
many more could be sold. Even asters
are not equal to the demand, pink and
purple being especially scarce. Short
stemmed ones are most in evidence, but
there are not nearly enough long ones to
fill all orders. Gladioli form the onlj^
over-supply. There are hundreds of them
and only the best quality sell with any
degree of certainty. There is a plenti-
ful supply of everything in the green
goods line and a good demand.

The scarcity of water in this city,
owing to the water works not being large
enough to handle the amount of water
that is required during such a dry spell
as we are having at present, there not
having been a soaking rain for mostly
six weeks, is becoming a serious ques-
tion to several of the florists who depend
upon the city for their supply. It is to
be hoped that the long looked for rain
will come before any serious damage
is done.

Variotts Notes.
The meeting of the S. A. F, O. H. is

at hand and the pilgrimage toward St.
Louis has been made by hundreds ot
the florists and their friends. Many oi
the eastern delegations stopped in this
city between trains and were met by
some of our boys. Those going from this
city did not make the necessary arrange-
ments to go in a body, but altogether,
there will be a goodly number from this
city.

J. T. Conger was the principal ex-
hibitor in the flower and plant depart-
ment at the Carthage fair last week. Ho
made a very creditable showing and won
the $75 prize for best display.

Julius Baer spent a few days with his
family at French Lick Springs, Ind.

Wm. Murphy left Monday night for
his annual trip to Snow Islands, seek-
ing relief from his old trouble — hay fe-
ver.

H. D. Edwards is in Louisville for a
few days.' Before his return home he
will visit the World's Fair.

E. G. Gillett and family left Monday
for the S. A. F. O. H. convention, also
a few days at the fair.

I regret to report the death of Wil-
liam Altemus Huntsman, father of
Frank Huntsman, which occurred at
Christ hospital, August 10. The deceased
was eighty-two years old and died vir-
tually of old age. He was at one time
mayor of Reading, O., and in his earljr
days was quite a politician. He was a
schoolmate of the late Gov. Morton, of
Indiana. C. J. Ohmer.

ROSES.

Seasonable Hints.

We are now approaching the time
when owing to the cool, dewy nights it
will be advisable, on many occasions, to
use a little heat in order to checH and
minimize the conditions favorable to the
growth of mildew and black spot.

Any check to root action which will
interfere with the vitality of the plant
is an invitation to these pests which, once
they have secured a foothold, are cer-
tain to give us a deal of trouble ana

hard work to clear them out, and care
should be taken to guard against such
conditions.

With the warm days when copious
supplies of water are necessary and the
nights cool, there is sure to be consider-
able condensation which can be obviated
in a great measure by the application of
a little heat which will enable us to use
ventilation, thereby securing a dry, pure
atmosphere, which is absolutely essential
to a good growth and healthy foliage.

A good deal of the success or failure
of our rose crops depends on the care
and attention given them during this pe-
riod, as the transition from natural to
artificial heat, in order to be successful,
must be gradual.

Where the heating pipes are placed
under the benches particular care must
be taken to see that the roots near the
bottom of the bench, and which are mosi
liable to suffer from close proximity to
the heat, do not suffer from want ol
water, as appearances are often deceptive,
the surface of the bench frequently ap-
pearing moist while the body of the soil
may l» quite dry.

Those houses which were planted early
and are now in a condition to bear a
crop will be greatly benefited by the ap-
plication of a light rich mulch. This
serves the double purpose of feeding the
plant and keeping the roots cool during
warm weather, considerably increasing
the size and quality of the bloom and
providing a better quality of wood for a
future crop.

In respect to taking a first crop from
young stock, it is safer to be a little
conservative in regard to quantity, as
many errors are made yearly in this mat-
ter, fine, thrifty bushes being spoUed for
months to come because of the ambition
or greed of the grower to have a big cut.
The grower who can see as far ahead as
the holidays will content himself with one
or two blooms from each plant for it
first cut and conserve the vitality of the
plant for wood making purposes, so that
he may have some size and strength to
his plants for tlie winter work.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

August 18, 1904.

Narcissi.

Paper white narcissi, Roman lij'a-
cinths, and other French bulbs are ar-
riving, and if early bloom is desired
there should be no delay in getting them
into the flats. Remember that the Ro-
man hyacinth, although withstanding
some freezing without harm, if allowed
to thaw out in a cool shed, will not en-
dure anything like the hard freezing
that is harmless to the Dutch hyacinths
and tulips, and the paper whites want
no frost at all. 8o. when you later box
up your main lot for flowering at the
holidays and on, the flats should be in
such a position that when winter comes
they can be protected with sash and
shutters, besides the covering of soil or
tanbark and four or five inches of stable
litter.

People who go into the bulb business
very largely may have a specially con-
structed root house or cellars. If so,
they would, after winter set in, have to
lie kept near the freezing point. We
have never found any ])lace so good as
out of doot-s for the flats.

Tulips.

A few years ago a son thought that
for the first batch of tulips, a few thou-
sand that we wanted in flower in early
January, such as La Beine, Vermilion
Brilliant and Yellow Prince, that if
planted in the flats directly they arrived
aiid the flats placed under a cool bench
and covered with two inches of soil, it
would save the trouble of putting them
outside and they could be kept moist
more easily. It was a mistake and a
failure. ITiey made no stem, while those
brought in from outside in the same
heat made stems of eight to twelve
inches. I remember cutting Cbrysolora
on December 27, with ll-inch stems, but
it took a lot of shade, heat and moisture
to do it. However, for these hyacinths
and paper whites that you expect to cut
in November and December, no frost is
feared and no covering, except three
inches of soil, will be needed. Get some
into flats at once. We never found any
size of flats better suited for the pur-
pose than one of 12x24 inches and three
inches deep and this same flat is useful
for many seedlings in the spring, as
well as to deliver a load of bedding
plants, and where wo know just how
many plants a bed will take, whatever
size flat we use for your bulbs, we have
them uniform.

c

Soil.

No specially prepared soil is necessary
for these hyacinths and narcissi, but it
should not 1m* heavy. 'The soil from
the carnation bench that you threw out
in June will be just the thing. Don't
waste room with these bulbs. You can
put them in flats, almost touching.
Press them firmly into the soil, leaving
top of bulb and surface of soil even
with edge of box.

We like to put some old strips of
wood on the ground for the flats to rest

on, as they lift cleaner and better.
Then cover the flats with three inches
of soil, but water thoroughly before cov-
ering. All that remains to be done for
the next two months is never in a dry
spell neglect soaking the beds at least
once a week. If the soil in the flats is
allowed to remain long dry, no good
roots will be made. Heavy rains maj'
help you out, but remember it takes a
heavy rain to wet down three inches,
and also remember there is no moisture
arising from the earth which keeps alive
and nourishes the roots of plants with
their roots in the ground. The bottom
of the flat stops all that.

Varieties.

Those who grow but a few hundred
Dutch hyacinths or a few thousand tu-
lips buy their bulbs of one of our seed
houses. It is to the interest of the seed
house to recommend only varieties that
are known to be the most satisfactory to
force, which is doubtless usually done,
but it is well for the grower, however
small, to know what to order.

In tulips there is no demand for a
great variety and the best forcing varie-
ties are proved and established. Omit-
ting the Due Van Tliol varieties, which
are the earliest but not worth growing,
the standard varieties are La Reine. for
white, in some soils and after being out
a few days it assumes a beautiful sliade
of pink; Cottage Maid and Kose Gris-
de-lin are both fine pinks; Yellow
Prince is all that is desired in yellow:
Vermilion Brilliant is the finest scar-
let, but rather expensive; if too expen-
sive then order Waterloo for scarlet :
for a gay, big tulip of yellow and red,
buy Kaizerskroon. and for a magnif-
icent flower distinct from any other
color, grow a few Proserpioe, very early,
carmine rose in color. The queen of all
double tulips for either cutting or pans,
particularly for Easter is Murillo, which
is white when first expanded and then
turning to a soft satiny pink. Another
useful doulde lulip is Tournesol, red
and yellow, and that's about all the tu-
lips you want to bother with.

Seldom does the commercial florist
grow anything but single Dutch hya-
cinths. They make a larger sjiike than
the double varieties, and here again a
limited number of varieties is all that's
necessary. Here are a dozen that will
fill the bill; Red and pink — Gertrude,
gigantea. Moreno, Norma. White —
Baron Von Thuyll. I^ Grandesse. L'ln-
nocence, Mme. Van der Hoop. Blue,
light and dark — Charles Dickens, Czar
Peter, King of tlie Blues. Kegulus.

In narcissi, the double Von Sion is
always popular and so is the Trnnipet
Major. Three other single narcissi tliat
force well and sold well the last few
years are Emperor. Empress and GoMen
Spur. The French-grown Trumpet Ma-
jor can be forced easily for Christmas.
It is not as fine as the Holland-grown,
but its earliness makes it valuable.

William Scott.

PLANTS FOR CEMETERY USE.

What plants and shrubs are used for
cemetery planting? I have calls for
"something to plant at the cemetery"
and would be glad to know what would
be most suitable for that purpose; also
what hardy shrubs should be planted on
school grounds to give blooms as much
as possible through the year.

What would be a reasonable charge
for seeding or sodding lots at the ceme-
tery? I have inquiries and hardly know
what would be considered a fair price
per square ro<l or yard. L. R. A.

To take up the cemetery question first,
a definite answer cannot be given unless
we know under what rules your ceme-
tery is governed, and these rules vary
greatly in different cities and communi-
ties. In small, rural cemeteries, the lot
owner is usually allowed to plant what-
ever he sees fit. One lot will have a
small cluster of geraniums, another will
have at the foot of a grave a'lNIme. Plan-
tier rose, another a root of peony, and
still another a Swedish juniper; each
one, doubtless, thinks his lot most taste-
fully adorned, but the general effect is
poor indeed.

Again, in some of the great cemeteries
of our eastern cities, where the lot
owner is also allowed to embellish his
plot of ground any way he chooses, yon
will see a most extravagant display of
flower gardening, elaborate designs of
carpet bedding, as well as l)eds of gera-
niums, coleus and all our other common
bedding plants, and the.y are often pre-
cwled in early spring with gay and cost-
ly displays of tulij>s. hyacinths and
other bulbous flowers. We have seen
cemeteries in the vicinity of New York
and Boston that we considered vastl.v
overdone, and in this respect they had
long passed the point of beauty and
good taste. Still, if I happened to be a
florist near one of these cemeteries and
my living largely depended on this cem-
etery trade, it is not likely I should tell
my patrons mat they were overdoing it.

There is another order of cemeteries,
mostly associations of lot owners and
governed by a board of trustees. The
superintendent is, or should oe. a man
of taste with a knowledge and practice
of landscape art and planting. He
plants a group of hardy shrubs in ap-
propriate spots, an elm or an oak or
maple here or there, where it is nee«led.
a cluster or bell of evergreens, Norway
sj)ruce, Austrian pine or Picea pungens,
where a dense background is most suit-
able.

In many of our eastern cemeteries,
land has In-en acquired that was natur-
ally very undulating in surface and the
large native trees left standing have
been of the greatest service in landscape
♦•ffects.

In the cemetery that I am l)est ac-
quainteil with, and which 1 have yet
faile<l to see eqimle<l for real beatity, rest
and peacefulness to the eye and senses,
the lot owner has only the right to erect
a monument and place an iron or stone
vase or wire or rustic basket on his lot.
The cemetery authorities do all the rest
and the consequence is that if the nion-
innents and vases were removed it would
be a well laid out. well ])lanted and well
maintijined park.

Now, if the inquirer is doing business
with one of those cemeteries which al-
lows the lot owner to plant what he
chooses, then anv of the ordinarv sum-

iner flowering plants can be used, just
as we use them in flower gardening, ex-
cept that any tall growing things like
dahlias or hollyhocks should be avoided,
or plants that conie late into flower, such
as salvias. Neatness, compactness and
an early and continuous attractiveness
are the qualities desired in such a place.
If you are asked to plant hardy shrubs
and the ericaceous plants do well in your
climate, then there is nothing more
beautiful than the rhododendrons, hardy
azaleas and kalmias. As for the lovely
hardy deciduous shrubs, the list is so
long that it would be out of place to
begin to enumerate any of them. Take
the catalogue of any reputable northern
nurseryman and his long list of hardy
shrubs can be depended upon to be hardy
and all are fine.

Yet, here again, as with the flowering
plants, if just one shrub is desired for
a small lot, say, two or three hundred
square feet, they should be of short
growing tendency, such as Spiraea Van
Houttei rather than the strong growing
philadelphus or the golden elder.

The writer is glad to hear of shrub-
bery in school grounds, for our gram-
mar schools are too often surrounded
with a dismal waste of gravel. 1 may
say the same about shrubs for the
school grounds that I said for the ceme-
tery. The variety is great and" all are
desirable. Here is a short list} that will
cover all the summer months, and I put
them somewhat as they will flower.
Beginning in May with the cydonia (Ja-
pan quince) and the forsythias, then
follows Spiraea prunifolia, the lilacs,
viburnum, then Spiraea Van Houttei, S.
Anthony Waterer, S. bumalda, and oth-
er species of these shrubs, Deutzia gra-
cilis and crenata, corchorus, calycanthus,
exocordia, philadelphus and Tartarian
honeysuckle. It's true that most of the
liardy shrubs flower in May and June
when their flowers and foliage are most
welcome after the awakening from our
hibernating winter, but in August we
have the glorious Hydrangea paniculata
and the altheas in many shades. The
above are all well known, but there are
many more lovely shrubs, and don't for-
get those with inconspicuous flowers but
attractive foliage or fruit, such as the
golden elder, Prunus Pasardi, the purple
berbery, African tamarix, and above all
the indispensable Berberis Thunbergii,
beautiful in every spot you plant it the
year through.

If little grading is needed or very lit-
tle good soil is to be supplied, then 25
cents per square yard is a fair price
for sodding, and if the same conditions
exist, 15 cents per square yard for seed-
ing. We think, however, these prices
could vary some both ways, according to
size of job. It is certainly worth more
for either sodding or seeding to fuss over
a little lot of ten yards than one of 100
yards. William Scott.

ST. LOUIS.

Gub Meeting.

At the August meeting of the Florists '
Club held on the 11th, forty-two mem-
bers and all the oflicers were present.
After reading of the minutes, the dif-
ferent committees reported that every-
thing was in readiness for the S. A. F.
convention and everybody working hard
to make it a great success.

Seven applications were presented as
follows: Geo. Ducker, P. J. Cahill, Geo.

Wagoner, C. De Weaver, Bobt, Wolfs-
berger, Eobt. Thomson and G. A. Casey.
These were elected to membership by a
full vote.

After reading several important com-
munications, the election of officers took
place which resulted as follows: For
president there were two candidates.
Otto G. Koenig and Chas. A. Juengel.
After counting the ballots, the tellers
announced that Mr. Juengel had been
elected by a majority of thirteen votes.
For vice-president there were three can-
didates, Carl Beyer, Henry C. Ostertag
and W. J. Pilcher. Mr. Pilcher won out
on the first ballot. For secretary, Mr.
Schray had no opposition and was elect-
ed by unanimous vote. For treasurer,
Fred Meinhardt and J. W. Dunford wei^e
the candidates. Mr. Meinhardt was
elected on the first ballot.

For three trustees there were six can-
didates, F. C. Weber, Theo. Miller and
E. W. Guy were the lucky three to be
elected. The above elected officers are a
set of hustlers and will, no doubt, keep
up the good standing of the club.

Various Notes.

Fred I». Schulz, son of Jacob Schulz,
of Louisville, Ky., is in town and will
stay until after the convention.

Mr. Eeed, of Beed & Keller, New
York, in company with Mr. Barnett, are
here working on their large exhibits in
the display hall.

Leo Ostermier, of Siebrecht & Son,
New York, is also busy in the display
hall, staging plants.

Martin Beukauf and Paul Berkowitz,
of H. Bayersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia,
are working hard at the convention hall.

B. Eschner, of M. Kice & Co., of Phila-
delphia, is busy displaying goods.

L. Baumann, of Chicago, is also mak-
ing a great show of florists' supplies.

Arnold Eingier is here in advance mak-
ing the rounds of the trade and reports
that his firm, W. W. Barnard & Co., of
Chicago, are having a big trade in sup-
plies, seeds and bulbs.

Hon. Cyrus P. Walbridge, president
of the Business Men's League, will de-
liver the address of welcome at the open-
ing meeting of the S. A. F. in place of
Mayor Wells, who is out of town. Mr.
Walbridge delivered the address of wel-
come eleven years ago, when the societ/
met here.

Wm. P. Craig is in town and will have
charge of Jos. Heacock's display at the
convention. Other exhibitions are arriv-
ing by every train. J. J. B.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

The supply of fine flowers seems hardly
equal to the demand, light and unsteady
though it is. Beauties, valley, asters and
carnations are all good sellers when of
fair quality. Some very nice orders for
these flowers have been shipped to dis-
tant outside cities lately. Sweet peas are
still coming into town in fair condition,
thanks to late planting, care, and a cool
summer. Dahlias are arriving in quan-
tity, the pompons being very nearly in
their true form. Japanese hydrangeas
are also getting plentiful and will figure
in a certain class of designs and in dec-
orations for the next couple of months,
weather permitting.

The Flower Market.

President Wm. K. Harris called a
special meeting of the stockholders of the
Flower Market to order at 2 p. m. last

Friday. He stated that the object of the
meeting was to decide: First, whether
the present quarters at 1228 Cherry
street should be given up, which the
board of directors recommended; and,
second, whether the Market should con-
tinue in business.

Secretary Alfred Burton read the re-
port showing a deficit for the first fiscal
year, Nov. 1, 1902, to Oct. 31, 1903, and
a profit of about $300 in the nine months
ending July 30, 1904.

It was stated that a tenant had been
found who would take the lease of the
present quarters from Sept. 1. This
lease expires June 30, 1906. It was agreed
on motion of Joseph Heacock that this
offer be accepted. The question of con-
tinuing or abandoning the enterprise
came next.

It was stated that the Market was not
supported by enough growers to make it
profitable to the stockholders without do-
ing a commission business as well. Wal-
ter P. Stokes asked whether the manager

Gtladium Esctilentum at St. James Park, Los Angeles, Cal.

thought the business could be made
profitable in time, Charles E. Meehan
replied that the feeling in the past had
been that the Market should be developed
as a market and not as a commission
house, but that if the commission busi-
ness were pushed and stalls rented to the
growers who wished them, he believed
that in three or four years the business
could be made profitable and a good mar-
ket could be established.

John Burton asked the privilege of
being allowed an opportunity to rent a
stall in the Market. Joseph Heacock
thought that as the growers had not cor-
dially supported the undertaking it would
be better to give it up. A. Farenwalc?
said the Market had not paid him. C. E.
Meehan replied that his stock had only
been sent to the Market during the glut.
H. H. Battles favored continuing the
Market, but thought the manager should
be given more power. Joseph Heacock
replied that the board of directors had
given the manager full power.

John Burton moved that the Market
be continued under the present manage-
ment. This motion was twice seconded.
After further discussion it was adopted
by a viva voce vote. The meeting then
adjourned. About 500 of the 674 shares
were represented.

The board of directors met after the
stockholders adjourned. They instructed
the managers to rent the first floor ana
basement of 1235 and 1237 Filbert street.
This has been done. The Market will be
moved in September to its new quartets,
which are more accessible and more cen-
tral than the old quarters.

Our St Louis Delegation.

Broad street station was the scene of
farewells a little after 8 o'clock last
Sunday evening when a good sized party
of Philadelphia florists left to attend the
convention and to see the Pike. There

was lots to do in helping Commissary
General Westcott get his stores aboard,
then much sound advice was given the
bowlers, by which they cannot fail to
benefit, and finally leave-takings.

The members of the party were : John
Burton, Miss Burton, F. J. Michell, F.
J. Michell, Jr., Antoine Wintzer, John F.
Sibson, Mrs. Sioson, Julius Wolff, Jr.,
Mrs. Wolff, S. Adellaerger, Edwin Lons-
dale, Leo Niessen, Eobert Craig, George
Craig, Eobert Kift, J. H. Eibsam, A.
Lake, Charles Sim, Mrs. Sim, John West-
cott, A. H. Lanser, Wm. Eobertson, J.
L. Dillon and son, D. T. Connor, W. F.
Gibson, John Conley, Fred Ehret, Chas.
D. BaU and W. H. Taplin.

The Florists' Qub.

A special meeting of the Florists ' Club
was called last Friday evening at the
request of five members, who wanted ar-
rangements for the club's bowling team
at St. Louis definitely settled. After a
lively debate the plan mapped out at the
August meeting was carried out. Let us
hope our team wins a great victory at
St. Louis, but whatever the result, we
know that every bowler will do his very
best.

Various Notes.

H. Bayersdorfer, in speaking of his
trip to Europe this summer, said that
never in twenty years had he experienced
such torrid heat. Paris was simply un-
bearable. His visit there had to be cut
short.

C. J. Watson reports that his firm, S.
S. Pennock, has had some good shipping
orders for Beauties and valley.

The dahlia business at Atco, heretofore
carried on under the name of W. P. Pea-
cock, will in future be conducted under
the name of L. K. Peacock, under whose
management it has been developed.

M. Eice & Co. have built a gallery

over their oflSce to give more desk room.
They have rented two floors in nearby
buildings for purposes of storage.

Laifry Sutter, of Quarryville, Pa., says
he would not be without the EEviEV\r. It
reaches him almost as soon as it reaches
Philadelphia.

Wm. J. Baker is receiving fine yellow
daisies from A. & G. Eosbach, of Pem-
berton, N. J.

Paul Richter, of H. F. Michell Co., is
too busy a man for even Saturday half-
holidays. He occasionally makes for the
shore for a Sunday dip, which he en-
joys.

Chas. F. Edgar is spending a few days
in Lancaster and Chester counties.

J. P. Habermehl and Wm. Westcott
have done a little quiet shooting on the
Gun Club 's grounds at Wissinoming.

E. M. Eisenhart has been spending a
few days at Atlantic City. He has fouild
the present season very favorable for
outdoor violet culture.

It is sometimes pretty hard for a busi-
ness man to get away, but Edward
Eeid's experience of going fo his berth
well down the bay and waking up back
at the wharf again is rather unusual. He
did finally get off for Savannah.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

The demand is nothing remarkable,
but it would consume more roses and car-
nations if they were available. There
are considerable quantities of Beauties
from young stock which are fine for the
season and they all find a sale. Tea
roses are scarce and the shipping stock
brings good summer prices; so do low
grades, for that matter, considering qual-
ity. The supply of field-grown carna-
tions is increasing and quality is fair.
Asters are still abundant, but are not so
plentiful as they were, for disease is
playing havoc in many places. The pre-
dominant flowers just now are gladioli
and rudbeckias. Dahlias are beginning
to come in.

Various Notes.

These are the dog days, but Bassett
& Washburn say that it was 46 at Hins-
dale one night last week and they have
had steam on in the greenhouses many
nights this month.

John "Van der Wal has rented J.
Schau's place at One Hundred and
Fourth street and Michigan avenue and
will grow cut flowers and bedding plants.

C. B. Chase has been fishing at Fox
Lake and the other dkj pulled out, on
his hooks, a tattered pocketbook in which
were $10, railroad tickets, etc.

At its city place the George Wittbold
Co. has plantc-d one house to mums to
be succeeded by lilies and another to
carnations to be succeeded by bedding
stock.

Kennicott Bros. Co. is taking advan-
tage of the quiet week locally because of
the convention to put the store to rights
again, redecorating throughout.

John Zeck, of Amling's, is on vaca-
tion this week.

The St. Louis Trip,
There were considerably over 100 in the
party which left Chicago for the conven-
tion Monday morning, but the failure of
many to notify the transportation com-
mittee that they were going, necessitated
traveling on the regular train instead of
a special, as would otherwise have been
the case. But everyone was taken care

of comfortably. There were plenty of
refreshments in the club's canteen if not
on the diner. The following were in the
party :

Geo. Asmus, P. J. Hauswirth, J. B.

Kring, Fairbury, 111.; A. F. Longren,
Lockport, 111.; Mrs. A. Guillaume and
daughter, La Crosse, and others. Many
of the gentlemen were accompanied by
their wives and other members of their
families, the number of ladies being larger
than ever before participated in a club
excursion. Several Chicago people had
gone ahead and others followed on later
trains, so that Chicago's representation
is a good one.

NEW YORK.

Varioos Notes.

Mr. Neubrand, of the F. E. Pierson
Company, has returned from a three
weeks' vacation at Eochester, N. Y.,
where he reveled in nursery visitations.

Much to his regret, Mr. Pierson fears
business engagements will make it im-
possible for him to attend the St. Louis
convention. He will be ably represented
there, however, by Mr. Fotheringham
and the new fern "Tarrytown" will be
very much in evidence. It certainly is a
most beautiful novelty.

Elliott 's French importations of Eoman
hyacinths, paper whites and Lilium can-
didum have arrived per steamer Eoma,
and are rapidly being disseminated.

C. A. B. Frith, of Bermuda, sailed for
the Island Saturday last after a brief
visit of a week in New York City.

The gladiolus • exhibit made this week
by John Lewis Childs, of Floral Park, at
the Eden Musee, New York City, is
worthy of the firm and drawing crowds.
Some very fine samples of the best varie-
ties were received at our New York office
on Friday last.

P. T. DeVoy, of Thos. DeVoy & Son,
Poughkeepsie, was in the city last week
with sample flowers of their grand new
geranium, "Telegraph," a rich, deep,
orange-cerise in color, that is already in
great demand, of which Mr. DeVoy tells
me many thousands have been ordered for
October delivery.

Henry Siebrecht, Sr., owing to pressing
engagements, finds it impossible to be at
the St. Louis convention as arranged,
although he has sent the usual exhibit
and will visit the fair with his family
later in the season.

Fine stock of the Chatenay rose is
being handled these days by Bonnoi
Bros., of the Coogan Building. Will
Siebrecht 's valley is always in demand
and supply there every day in the year.

Mr. Saltford returned from his month 's
outing with his family on Monday/

The New Jersey Floricultural will cele-
brate its tenth anniversary with a tin
wedding demonstration the first Monday
in October. Joe Man da is booming it.

The auction season begins early in
September. Mr. Elliott's voice seems
especially mellifluous this summer, since
he left the ranks of the bachelors.

Mr. Cleary will conduct the services
at the sale of nursery stock next month
for Chas. Bird, of Arlington, N. J.

Michael Ford, of Ford Bros., will com-
plete his summer recreations at Atlantic
City next week.

The death is announced of one of the
pioneers of the trade, Mr. Joseph Gard,
of Hicksville, N. Y., where he has lived
since his retirement some five years ago.
He was connected with Messrs. Daille-
douse and Zeller in business, the estab-
lishment of the partnership dating back
to the forties. His age was seventy-six.
He was much esteemed by those who
knew him best and his career is a credit
to horticulture.

H. H. Berger & Co. 's new catalogue
is handsome and creditable and the firm 's
business has been advancing steadily
during the past year. Mrs. Berger re- '
grets that the press of business prevents
her meeting her many friends at the con-
vention as contemplated.

Henry Beaulieu, the pansy and onion
specialist, of Woodhaven, is adding to
his real estate and so increasing his facili-
ties in keeping with his growing busi-
ness.

G. J. Snyder, the Eidgewood, N. J.,
florist, met with a severe loss last week
in the destruction of his greenhouses by
a miniature tornado that left the houses
a total wreck.

The market remains ' ' unmentionable. ' '
The possibility of a change for the bet-
ter before September seems out of the
question. Outdoor stock is very abundant,
much of it showing the effects of the ex-
cessive rains. Gladioli, rudbeckia and
asters seem limitless and at times there is
no bottom to their values. In large lots
gladioli have touched $2.50 per 1,000.
Next come the dahlias. The grower
whose shipments 'to New York are
enormous has over 100 acres to draw
from this season. Peacock, of Atco, is
certainly the dahlia king of the east.

All the retail windows are golden with
the glow of rudbeckia. Hydrangea pani-
culata is abundant. Orchids alone main-
tain their real values and the supply
never is in excess of requirements. Jas.
McManus is never without a good assort-
ment, his many sources of supply and
the large shipments of Lager & Hurrell
especially ensuring satisfactory response
to calls which now come from many of
the large cities of the country.

Water lilies still arrive daily from
Lecakes' Connecticut farm.

Jos. Fenrieh has returned from his
outing in the Catskills. ready for strenu-
ous effort and very hopeful as to the
future.

Chas. Millang's new arrangement for
special exhibits is none too large for the
flood of gladioli daily, and the lilies are
as much in evidence there as usual.

Walter Sheridan was greatly missed
in the happy party that journeyed to St.
Louis, and John B. Nugent was con-
stantly in possession of inspiring thought
waves from the well satisfied travelers,
because of the excellent and unfailing
supply of good things with which he had
stocked the commissariat. A letter of
appreciation was signed by all and for-
warded Mr. Nugent from Harper's

Ferry, but the supply was not exhauste
until the towers of the castle of An.
heuser-Busch flashed upon the vision of
the weary travelers.

The trip to the fair city was delight-
ful every hour of the thirty-two. The
Baltimore & Ohio proved itself a worthy
choice of Messrs. O'Mara, Guttman and
Bunyard, the committee appointed by
the New York club to assure the com-
fort of its members.

Baltimore sent its faithful ahead, but
loyal Gude and his lieutenants were in
waiting . to welcome and accompany us.

Eobt. Kift and Dennis Connor were a
committee of two' at Philadelphia to
speed us on our way, and Gillett, Critchell
and Eodgers, of Cincinnati, were at the-
station, the vanguard of forty.

In the New York party were: P. J.
Fay, head gardener for Dr. Webb, of
Shelburne, Vt. ; Frank Hamilton, head
gardener of the Borough of the Bronx,
who has thirty-eight parks and 4,076
acres in his jurisdiction; Geo. A. Skene,
head gardener of the New York Botani-
cal Society; Alf. Langjahr, the whole-
saler of Twenty-eighth street, apd Mrs.
Langjahr; P. L. Powell, gardener for
Samuel Thome, and Mrs. Powell and
son, of Millbrook, N. Y.- John Wilson,
of Short Hills, N. J.; Robert Wilson,
Brooklyn, N. Y. ; E. W. Dreen, of Provi-
dence, E. I.; Louis DuPuy, Whitestone,
L. I. ; Jos. Manda, Orange, N. J. ; Charles
Lenker, Freeport, N. Y.; Patrick
O'Mara, of New Jersey; John Scott
and Alex. Hampton, Brooklyn, and the
press men. Aiex. Wallace, H. A. Gold-
beyer, H. Pepper and Austin Shaw.

The train arrived at St. Louis at 6
p. m., exactly on time, and we were wel-
comed by a large delegation of St. Louis
florists, who gave U& a royal welcome.
A glance at the exposition hall revealea
a busy crowd under direction of Vice-
President Beneke, with almost every-
thing in readiness for the opening on
Tuesday. J. Austin Shaw.

PITTSBURG.

The Market.

There was an improvement in business
last week, and all good stock cleaned up
nicely, but no change in prices.

The death of a well-known councilman
made a boom for several of the stores,
as there were orders for thirty or for^
large designs, ranging from $8.00 to-
$50.00 apiece.

Various Notes.

My prediction as to the number whor
would go to St. Louis did not work out;
however, among those who did go were
Wm. Falconer and daughter, Alex Nel-
son, and about fifteen others whose
names I did not get.

Karl Klinke, of the Pittsburg Cut
Flower Company, has gone to Muncie,.
Ind., but will visit St. Louis this week.
When he gets back he will tell it to you
in Dutch ("as it should be spoke").

T. P. Langhans, secretary of the
Pittsburg Cut Flower Company, has re-
turned from his fishing trip to Canada,
looking brown and fat. We have always
believed him to be a consistent membef
of the church to which he belongs, but
a man who won't talk about anything
smaller than three to five pound black
bass and eight to twenty-two pound
muskalonge — well, we have our doubts,
and out of charity will ask his friends to
steer clear of the subject of fish when
they meet him.

August 18, 1904.

A. W. Smith, Jr., and wife have gone
to their cottage at Chautauqua for the
remainder of the summer.

William Loew, known to the trade
generally as Billy Flowers, will be missed
from the convention for the first time
in many years. Billy is too busy arrang-
ing for his green goods business to go
any place.

Joe Byerly, of Eandolph & McClem-
ents, is doing' Atlantic City.

E. C. Ludwig is getting his new store

on East Diamond street ready for a late
summer opening, and it is going to be
of the finest. Ernest never does anything
by halves.

John Bader and daughter will leave
Wednesday, August 24, for a trip to Saa
F'rancisco, Cal., with the Knights Tem-
plar. This will be a thirty-five day trip,
traveling in their own train there and
back without change of cars. John is
always next to all the good things.

CARNATION NOTES.-EAST.

Insects.

Preparations should at once be made
to guard against the 'ravages of insect
pests. They will certainly put in an ap-
pearance sooner or later, more likely
sooner than later.

The old saying, "Nothing is sure but
death and taxes," should be amended to
include plant lice. It is poor economy
to wait until the plants are badly in-
fested, when so many means of prevention
are at hand, and prevention is the best
plan to follow, as the punctures made
by inserts not only weaken the plant, but
open the way for fungous disease germs
to enter; then, too, it is humiliating,
when showing a fellow grower over your
place, to hear remarks about the live stock
needing attention. These remarks per-
haps may not be audible, but might be
said to be almost discernible.

The most prevalent pests, and at the
same time the easiest to prevetft or de-
stroy are the aphides.

Light fumigation weekly with powdered
tobacco — the fumigating kind — gives
them no chance to obtain a foothold.
Thrips are sometimes brought in from
the field when housing the plants, and
their presence Is not detected at once,
but as soon as signs of their work is seen,
thorough fumigation with cayenne pepper
should be resorted to.

I gave full directions last year for
using this remedy to be effective, but will
repeat my caution against using an adul-
terated article, as this is one of the main
reasons of failure.

Red spider once established is a hard
customer to handle, but a sharp lookout
must be kept for its first appearance. It
can then be readily kept from spreading
by repeated syringing and ,in the end
conquered. I know of no preparation
that will act as a preventive.

It is said, however, that some of the
concentrated extracts of tobacco will kill
them and perhaps can be employed in
some manner as a preventive.

The carnation beetle referred to by Mr.
Scott has never troubled us, but having
had considerable experience with Slug
Shot, I am confident it will destroy them.
Nearly every year we hear of a new pest
to be added to the list of carnation en-
emies.

Last season soon after housing we were
troubled with a green worm similar in
appearance to a cabbage worm, but dif-
ferent in many ways and new to me.

Its capacity for eating caused some
anxiety, especially as this feasting waS
done during the night and being almost
exactly the color of foliage made it ex-
tremely difficult to catch.

Several were captured and fed until
they passed into the chrysalis state.
These were kept and this spring hatched
out a dark brown moth. I am not up on
moths, but from close observation am
satisfied it is the genuine fly-by-night
sort and the eggs deposited when plants
are in the field. These worms were not
very particular in their taste: any part
of the plant lying in their path was cut
off, stem, bud or tender shoot, but Slug
Shot made short work of them. Paris
green would probably kill them, but I
am not an advocate of using this poison
on any plant. Geo. S. Osborn.

RED SPIDER ON CARNATIONS.

We have seen quite a number of red
spiders in our newly filled houses of car-
nations, brought in from field with the
plants. vVill you tell us the proper way
to use hydrocyanic acid gas, or is there
a better remedy? Too much water we
don 't think advisable yet. B. K.

I have never had any experience in the
use of hydrocyanic acid gas and I hardly
know what to say in regard to using it
on your carnations before they have got-
ten into a vigorous growing condition.
My impression, however, is that I would
go a little slow in this matter. Unless
you have had some experience with the
stuff the danger of failure is too great
to risk your whole crop right at the
start.

That it is a great thing is generally
conceded, and that it kills the spider
without damaging the plants, too. As
far as I know past experiments were
made on plants which were in a growing
condition. In your case, however, the
plants are not in that condition, and it
will be a couple or three weeks before
you can say that they have really become
established and are growing. I do not
say that the gas would injure them, buf
I would not care to risk a full dose on
them, and a half dose may not be strong
enough to kill the spider.

You will find in the April 14 issue of
the Review an article telling you how
to figure the cubic contents of your
houses and the proportion of a dose of
the gas. If you do decide to try it on
your plants we would very much like to
hear with what degree of success. On ac-
count of its dangerousness in the hands
of inexperienced persons it has not as
yet become as common as many other

less effective but less dangerous insecti-
cides.

Personally I would prefer to syringe
the plants with clear water at least the
first ten days. If your plants are set
firmly and the soil settled around them
properly the plants will stand uo under
a good strong cutting spray. You should
keep them sprayea a good deal, any way,
so why not syringe them once or twice
each day and destroy the spider at the
same time.

Salt water and soap dissolved in water
are both good, but you will find the
Tobakine liquid better than either of the
two. In a case like this it is not a ques-
tion of which is the cheapest, but rather
which is the safest and the most effective
remedy. What do a few dollars amount
to when it comes to saving your whole
season's crop? A. F. J. Baur.

BOILER AND PIPING.

My houses are two in number, 16x75
feeit each, elevien feet to the ridge,
running east and west. The south side
and both ends are glazed about one-
fourth to one-third the depth of the
wall; no glass on the north side; walls
built of sheathing and weather-boarding,
with building paper between. Our aver-
age winter weather is about freezing,
though the mercury often goes below.
We have had zero weather once in the
past twenty-five years, though it is safe
to say that we rarely have over fifteen
degrees of frost. I have not bought a
boiler, as I have not decided what kind
to purchase. I should like a boiler with
capacity for one or two more houses
than I now have. Is there a boiler on
the market that can be depended on to
keep a steady heat for six or eight hours
iit night in normal weather. My plant
is not large enough to justify a night
man. I have heard of magazine boilers.
Can they be successfully fired with
bituminous coal of nut size? Anthracite
would be too expensive.

How low is it necessary to set a boiler
in the ground? The man that I have
engaged to pipe the houses says he
does not see any necessity for placing
boiler more than three feet below the
floor of the greenhouses. Of course, this
would be more convenient to remove the
ashes and take in fuel, if it would not
interfere with the circulation. I shall use
hot water. I have some 2% and 3-inch
pipe and will purchase some 1^ and 2-
inch for returns. Please advise best
method of laying same. South house for
carnations, two-thirds of north hoiise for
teas and remaining third for palms,
ferns. Asparagus plumosus, swainsona
and such. I have a partition in north
house. The narrow benches in the north
house will be used for lilies and miscel-
laneous stock.

Would it be feasible to build a frame
on the south side of the carnation house
and rip off the weather-boarding be-
tween the frame and house. I could
grow quite a good deal of stuff in such
a frame, and I don't think it would
steal much heat from the house. How-
ever, when the sash on the frame were
open a strong draught into the house
would doubtless be created. Would that
be bad for carnations if it passed by
the pipes and circulated under the
benches? I want the boiler and pack-
ing shed at the west end and would like
to build them with a driveway left be-
tween the sheds and the west end of
the house. Would this- not be more safe

and at the same time suflSciently con-
venient? How would this work if I
added to my range? I have space to
build on both sides of the houses and
hope to do so in the near future. Would
it be essential in this climate to have
potting shed joined to greenhouse?

S. B. S.

If in the house you wish to use for
carnations you were to carry a 2 1/^ -inch
pipe to the far end of the house, either
under the ridge or under the most pro-
tected or inside bench and at the far end
break it up to return through six 2-inch
pipes, it will give you ample heat for
your carnation house.

In regard to heating the frame you
propose along the south side of the
house, I am inclined to think it will be
more satisfactory to run a loop of 2-
inch pipe along the front of the frame,
rather than to attempt to heat it indi-
rectly from the carnation house. The
house to carry roses and palms may be
piped in the same manner, but it will re-
quire a little more radiation. A 2%-
or 3-inch supply pipe can be used to
supply eight 2-inch pipes returning under
the more exposed benches.

In regard to the location of the boiler,
the cloBer it can be placed to the point
where the heat is desired the more eco-
nomical will it be in fuel. The longer
the distance the water is forced to travel
the loss ctficient it becomes. Short cir-
cuits, which return the water quickly
at a high temperature, are most econom-
ical. While a driveway can be main-
tained between the boiler pit and green-
houses it is not to be recommended, as
with ordinary care in firing and good
construction there is little danger from
fire. A boiler built on the return tubu-
lar plan with an ample fire place and a
large capacity of water — i. e., contain-
ing a large quantity of water — will un-
doubtedly serve your purpose best. A
boiler with a capacity of 1,000 feet will
care for your present structures but, if
future needs are to be considered, add
500 feet to the capacity of the boiler for
each additional house of like dimensions
of those you now have.

The main thing with a plant such as
you have is to secure good height for
the expansion tank, which should be con-
nected to the return pipe close to the
boiler and located fifteen to eighteen
feet above that point, if practicable. If
the dome of the boiler is a few inches
lower than the lowest point in the returns
that will suffice. ' L. C. C.

NURSERY NEWS.

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF NURSERYMEN.

Pres., E. W. Klrkpatrlck, McKlnney, Tex.;
Vlce-Pres., C. L. Watrous, Des Molneo; Sec'y,
Geo. C. Seager, Rochester; Treas., C. L. Yatea,
Rochester. The 29th annual convention will be
held at West Baden, Ind., June, 1»06.

All hard-wooded trees require severe
pruning when transplanted.

The native magnolias should only be
moved in spring and closely pruned.

The western wholesale growers are
steadily increasing their outputs of apple
grafts.

There is steadily increasing demand
for hardy flowering shrubs and for hardy
perennials.

The birches are suitable for high, dry
or stony situations. Early fall is a good
season to plant them.

If cherry trees are transplanted in the
fall, do it early, to give time to become
established before cold weathei-.

The white oak requires somewhat less
severe pruning than other members of
the family which are to be moved.

Nurserymen arc coming to the con-
clusion that expositions are not what
they have been "cracked up to be" as
business getters.

C. W. Carman is visiting various cit-
ies in Iowa and it is reported that he is
contemplating the removal of his exten-
sive nursery business from Lawrence,
Kans.

The Carolina poplar is largely planted
in laying out new additions to our cities,
because of its quick growth, but in the
end the American elm or pin oak would
generally give better satisfaction.

The man with a hundred agents out
envies the fellow who gets his business
with a catalogue and a couple of dozen
stenographers, but the other one says
he's only working for the government.

C. W. Ward sails August 18 to visit
European peony growers and nursery cen-
ters.

B. E. Gage, of the Peterson Nursery,
Chicago, has been visiting nurseries in

The George M. Bacon Pecan Co., De
Witt, Ga., has a new chestnut of unusual
size and ripening by August 1.

Bloomington, III. — The foundation
for the new office of the Augustine
Nursery, which is to be erected on the
company's packing grounds, near the
depot, was commenced yesterday, and the

soon as possible.

APPLE AND PEAR SEEDS.

I have some good apple and pear fruits^
from which I would like to save the
seed. Kindly let me know how to take
care of the fruits in order to ripen the
seed and insure germination?

G. A. D.

When the fruit is ripe, the seed is
mature. Keep it in the fruit as long as
possible. Save the seed and keep it as
any other seed. Sow in spring and
ninety-five per cent will germinate. This
seed, in most cases, will bring only a
small percentage of good fruit. It will
pay better to buy of some reliable nur-
serymen trees of these or other well
known varieties. R. V.

THE PECAN.

A few years ago the pecan was a small
nut with a great deal of bitter, astringent
inner bark and great care must neces-
sarily be exercised to obtain the small
kernel free from it so that it would be
-palatable. The kernel was so good, how-
ever, that the attention of expert nur-
serymen was called to it and a system
of selection and propagation was begun
to enlarge the meat and if possible to
make the thick, hard shell thinner and
more delicate. Years have been spent
at this work, but with the finest results.
The thick shell has become so thin it
may with propriety be called a "paper
shell. ' ' The small meat has become so
large that a few nuts now weight a
pound. The bitter and astringent inner
lining has been almost entirely disposed
of and the meat parts from the shell
easily and completely separated.

I always look forward with pleasure
to the Review's weekly visit. — J. B.

will be held on the St. Lawrence, June, 1906.

Leonard Seed Co. has remodeled and
improved its onion set warehouse at Jef-
ferson Park, 111.

The onion set harvest at Chicago is
backward, more than half the acreage be-
ing yet untouched.

A TRUCK-GROWEES ' association has
been organized at Mineral Wells, Tex.,
with S. A. Baxter secretary.

The onion set grower finds that this
is one of the years when thinner seeding
might have been an advantage.

The perennial top onion is at present
bringing $2 per bushel; a higher price
than has been realized for several years.

Complaint is being made that much
of the pickling cucumber seed planted the
past spring fails to make a uniform
pickle.

When a reliable assistant is needed
by a seedsman the cost of securing one
should be of secondary importance. This
will apply to either a book or a man.

Des Moines, Iowa. — The Hawkeye

hart, who stated that it was impossible
to attach a list of the assets and liabil-
ities of the company. The Hawkeye

VILMORIN MEMORIAL.

The American members of the commit
tee appointed to raise funds for the Vil-
morin Memorial to be erected at Paris
are D. M. Ferry, Detroit; C. S. Sargent,
Boston, and Wm. McMurtrie, New York.
Mr. Ferry sends the seed trade a circular
letter explaining that the aim is to muko
the subscription a popular one, the sub-
scriptions so far received in France aver-
aging a little less than $7 each. Mr.
Ferry encloses a translation of a circular
of the French committee, from which we
take the following extract:

The eminent services rendered to agriculture
and horticulture by Henry de Vllmorln are
well known. In fact, during four generations
the heads of tbe Vllmorln family: Philippe
Vlctolre, his son Phllllpe Andre, then his
grandson Louis and lastly his great-grandson
Henry, have successively associated the name
Vllmorln with the progress achieved In agri-
culture and horticulture since 150 years. With-
out the Vllmorlns there would perhaps be a
little less grain In our fields, but without
doubt less sugar In our beets, and certainly
less flowers In our gardens. It Is this long
and Immense work, accomplished by the Vll-
morlns, which we propose to honor.

Mr. Ferry adds that he is in full sym-
pathy with this movement and will ac-
knowledge receipt of subscriptions and
see that they are forwarded to the treas-
urer of the general fund at Paris.

We are much pleased with the Florists '

DUTCH SEED CROP REPORT.

Sluis & Groot, Enkhuizen, Holland,
send the following seed crop report for
the end of July:

On account of the very wet weather which
prevailed last autumn, some biennials were
sown very late and In some parts they could
not be sown at all. Consequently the area of
beets, mangels, turnips, parsley, corn salad,
etc., Is not so large as was first proposed.
Our mild winter did not kill any plants. In
spring we had excellent weather, so that field
work, sowing and planting could take place
under most favorable circumstances. This fine
weather has lasted up to the present time, so
that as a whole the prospects of the crop are
good.

Cauliflower looks good and promises a good
crop. White cabbage, red cabbage, savoy,
Brussels sprouts and Borecole have developed
very well, look healthy and promise a good crop.
Turnip and swedes, owing to the unfavorable
weather In autumn, part of these Were sown
too late or were not sown at all; a good deal,
however, has developed very well and prom-
ises a good average crop, with the exception
of some few varieties, such as Milan. Kohl-
rabi, a good deal got lost; small crop. Man-
gel-wurzel and vsugar beet look good. Beet
stands pretty well. Carrots partly poor stand;
as a whole they promise a fairly good crop.
Parsnip and scorzonera are good crop. Corn
salad Is middling; some sowings have gone
lost. Radish looks good. Spanish radish was
little planted, as some sowings got lost last
autumn; looks good. Onion Is medloere; the
bulbs were not healthy. Garlic is good. Cele-
rlac Is sick; small crop. Plain parsley good;
rooted parsley middling. Borage Is a very
good crop. Chervil and spinach promise an
average crop. Peas nre very good, cucumbers
mediocre. Dwarf and runner beans are good
lis a whole; some plains are a poor stand ou

account of weak germination; bard winds
have also done some damage.

After two years which were most unfavorable
for flower seed growing, we are now glad to
say that, owing to tbe fine weather in spring,
the actual situation of crops as a whole Is
promising. Antirrhinum, caUlopsls, campanula
and centaurea are very good. Candytuft is
good. Convolvulus was little sown; looks
good. Dlanthus, some plains a little thin; the
plants which are left look promising. Gypso-
phlla is a good crop and eschscholtzia very
good. Hellchrysum and lobelia make good
standing. MImulus is very good. Mignonette
was little sown; looks promising. Myosotis is
excellent and nasturtium very gw>d. Nemophlla,
papaver, petunia and phlox are all good, rhod-
unthe very good, stocks, Virginian, excellent.
Sweet peas, little sown; stand well. Ten-
week stocks look splendid. Verbena is good,
viola fairly good and wallflower very good.

PRICES OF MATERIAL.

The price of glass has been advanced
but quotations are not stiffly held. There
is a scarcity of 16x20, which is a popular
greenhouse size, but certain jobbers have
large stocks of 16x24, several large antic-
ipated orders having failed to develop,
and on this size there is a tendency to
' ' let no guilty man escape ' ' when he
comes into the market.

Lumber is weaker, particularly cypress.
Much good cypress has gone into rail-
road cars, and this summer car builders
arc not busy, with the result that the
cypress mills are looking for orders.

Steam coal is off, particularly at Chi-
cago, where the stock yards strike has
had an appreciable effect.

WHITE PANDANUS.

"Will you kindly let me know if the
white from a Pandanus Veitchii is a
disease and what to do to prevent them
from turning white? F. S.

The variegation of plants is looked
upon by many botanists as a diseased
condition, from the fact that it arises
from the suppression of the green color-
ing matter, or chlorophyll, in a portion
of the foliage and stem of the plant, and
this view seems to be sustained in a ma-
jority of instances by the greater ten-
derness and lessened vitality of a varie-
gated plant as compared with the ordi-
nary type of the same species.

The only way to avoid having albino
plants among Pandanus Veitchii is by
careful selection of the cuttings, it being
very seldom that one of those all white
plants will grow out of that condition
and become properly variegated. It pays
better to throw away those white cuttings
than to propagate them and thus to de-
preciate the stock. W. H. Taplin.

FUTURE OF THE MUSKMELON.

During the last three or four years the
{growing of imiskmelons in the eastern
•states has been far from satisfactory on
acconnt of their being attacked by a very
olistinato ,fung;ou8 disease commonly
known as blight. The grower used to
think he had enough enemies to combat
when he had to fight the several insect
l>ests to which the plants are subject.
For these some remedies were found
whereby they eould be kept in check, but
for tliis latest trouble neither preven-
tion nor cure has so far been found.

The disease strikes the plants almost in
a night 's time, beginning with small, yel-
lowish spots which quickly spread until
they cover the greater part of the leaf,
which withers. The season at which the
disease attacks the plants depends a good
deal on the weather. Eather dry condi-
tions and heavy night dews aid its prog-
ress. These night dews seem to_ supply
just the amount of moisture required for
the development of the spores, whereas
rains are more apt to wash the spores
from their resting places from the foli-

age. About the middle of August the
disease usually strikes the plants, just
about the time the first fruits 'are Hear-
ing maturity. The more advanced fruits
can generally be harvested all right but
the smaller, undeveloped ones are often
rendered useless.

So far this disease has resisted all
the ordinary remedies. Most fungous dis-
aases will yield to Bordeaux mixture, but
it seems to have very little effect on this.
The first year it made its appearance the
plants went so quickly that we had no
chance to save them. The second year
we thought to forestall it and the plants
were thoroughly sprayed with Bordeaux
early in August, but our hopes of ward-
ing it off were shattered, for the plants
went just as they had done the season
before. It is to be hoped that some ef-
fectual remedy may sopn be found, but in
the meantime the only hopes wo have are
in getting the plants started as early as
possible, so that we can get the majority
of the fruit fit for market before the dis-
ease makes its appearance. It is taking
a good deal of risk to attempt to grow a
late crop.

This year we are trying covering a few
olants over night with cheesecloth
to keep off the night dews and hope in
this way to ward off the disease. Later
on I will be able to report on the results,
but even if this should prove successful the
covering of a field of plants would entail
a good deal of expense. So if we had to
depend on the eastern states alone it
looks as if the late crop, at least, would
have to be grown under glass, as they do
in some European countries, but thanks
to the variance of our climate, there is
little chance that there ever will come a
time when muskmelons cannot be grown
profitably in some sections of the coun-
try, and plentifully enough to supply all
demands in the summer season, though
the demand for variety may yet make it
quite a profitable industry to grow them
under glass for the winter and spring
supply. W. S. Croydon.

DAMAGED GRAPES.

I send a few grapes to .show you how
they have been injured. If you know of
any remedy, please let me know. "Would
spraying benefit them? M. F. T.

The grapes sent have been stung by
some insect, probably the grape curculio.
It is too late now to spray, as the fruit
is too near the ripening stage to safely
use poison. It is during the month of
June and July that these insects work the
harm by stinging the fruit. Only a small,
round, black mark is visible when the
berries are first stung, but this gradually
increases in size until they assume the
proportions as shown in the samples sent.
Spraying has not been found very
effective and the surest method of sav-
ing the fruit when this insect is trouble-
some is to encase the bunches in paper
bags. This entails quite a little work,
but it does not take so long as one would
at first think. The bunches ripen well in
the bags and come out so nice and clean
that tbey always command the highest
market price. In bagging, when done
late, the bunches can be looked over and
any damaged berries removed, but the
work should be done early in June, be-
fore the insects have had a chance to
do any damage. W. S. Croydon.

PACIFIC COAST.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market

We have hardly seen the sun during
the past week and the prospects are for
continued cool weather. I think, on the
whole, that such a season favors both
retailers and growers, as the quality of
the stock seen the past few weeks has
been superior to that we generally have
during the month of August. Business
is fair, considering the time of year, and
flowers are being bought up in good
shape. Boses are either very good or
very poor. Many of the wholesalers are
drying up their houses preparatory to
getting ready for another season's busi-
ness, and those that are not are
cutting some well colored stock. Beau-
ties are scarce. With carnations,
the fancy varieties sell at about
three dozen for a dollar, but the bulk
are not worth much over half that price.
Lilium album and rubrum are still in
market, also a few longiflorum. Val-
ley has not sold extra well for the past
few weeks. Pink amaryllises are being
handled in big bunches. Sweet peas are
getting scarcer and shorter of stem.

Death of John Rock«

I regret to have to chronicle the death
of John Eock, at Niles, on Tuesday last.
iMr. Eock was one of the pioneer nurs-
erymen of .this coast, starting early in
the sixties, near San Jose. He had for
twenty years the largest fruit and orna-
mental place in California. In 1884, to-
gether with B. D. Fox, Thomas Meherin,
Wm. J. Landers and the late James
Hutchison, he organized the Califor-
nia Nursery Co., at Niles, which was
then and still is the largest firm on the
Pacific coast in the general nursery busi-
ness. Mr. Bock at the time of his death
was general manager and his loss will
be irreparable to the trade here. Mr.
Bock had been suflFering from paralysis
for several years and his health had been
delicate for some time, but his death was
nevertheless unexpected. ' He was a na-
tive of Germany and in his sixty-seventh
year. He leaves a daughter. Miss Flor-
ence Bock, who has the sympathy of
every florist and nurseryman on this
coast.

Various Notes.

Attorney George T, Wright appeared
before the Board of Works to urge that
permits to sell flowers on the sidewalks
at points designated by an ordinance of
the supervisors be granted to applicants
in view of the Superior Court decision
that the ordinance is legal. President
Schmitz informed him that the board was
considering the regulations prepared by
L. M. King, to govern the sale of flow-
ers in the free markets. Schmitz stated
that the Board would be ready to grant
permits next Monday. G.

PANSIES.

Compared with other flowering an-
nuals, I have found the pansy to be the
best paying plant of all. We do not
grow them for flowers to any extent,
but they are purchased by the thousands
in the early spring for garden planting
and, as the first part of August and, in
fact, all through this month is the
proper time for planting the seeds, I

think a few suggestions are in order.
In the first place, the selection of vari-
eties is all important. I have tried many
strains here on the coast and each of
the important ones have some advan-
tages. Trimardeaus are by far the eas-
iest to raise and they make big, showy
plants, and, as many of our dealers sell
thousands of young seedlings during the
winter season, several months before they
are in bloom, this variety is the best
to handle, as they make strong plants
much sooner than any of the other kinds.
They are not, however, as good sellers
when in bloom as some of the higher
colored sorts, and the grower will find
that they run almost exclusively to blues,
purples and light colored flowers and
to make a good assortment of shades is
out of the question. The flowers, how-
ever, are of large size and are borne on
good stiff stems. The Gassier strain is
not of such fast or hardy' growth and
there is a great difference in the foliage.
The flowers are much higher colored,
having an abundance of blotched, mar-
bled and striped blooms that are eagerly
bought by the public. The Bugnot strain
is also of a dwarfer growth than the
Trimardeau, but the flowers are beauti-
fully stained and generally run to plenty
of light colors, a fact that will be appre-
ciate by all growers. Odiers, especially
the large-eyed strain, are splendid sell-
ers and come in the showiest of colors,
both plain and blotched. I generally
plant a mixture of the Odier, Bugnot,
and Gassier strains together and plant
a batch of Trimardeau by themselves.

I sow the seeds in flats on soil not
over two inches deep, with a light cov-
ering of sand and they are large enough
to transplant in the open ground by the
first of November. There is no advan-
tage in keeping them in boxes after that,
as they grow up very spindling during
our winter season. The outside beds in
which they are transplanted should have
been previously dug up several times
during the fall and plenty of well rotted
manure mixed with the soil. See that
the bed is located in such a position that
it vrill not hold a superabundance of
water, for, although pansies like plenty
of moisture when they are growing, they
do not want to have too much of it at
the root.^and if we are to have another
wet spell such as we had last season
they must be on high and dry ground to
save them. They are gross feeders and
do not do their best on sandy soil. Al-
though they are perfectly hardy here, a
mulching of light straw I find always
advantageous, and then there will be no
difficulty in having a succession of
blooming plants beginning about the
first of Febniary and continuing for
three or four months until our planting
season is over. G.

PRIMULA POISONING.

I noticed an article in the Review of
.Tuly 28 regarding Primula obconica
poisoning. I have always considered my-
!»elf immune from plant poisoning; even
handling Rhus toxicodendron had no ter-
rors for me. But last winter the tide
changed and every time I came in con-
tact with the Primula obconica I was
certain of losing a couple of nights'
sleep on account of the itching. It even
got into my face, causing my eyelids to
swell. T would bathe my hands and
face before retiring with a solution of
baking soda and warm water and then
I would be obliged to get up dt.ring the
night to repeat the application. T do

DORONICUMS.

Propagation is simple, as dividing the
roots at any time will produce a stock
of vigorous growing plants in a short
period. The Austrian form, D. austria-
cum, is the earliest to produce its flow-
ers. Its height is about three feet. The
flower stems are much branched, and very
free. The leaves are deep green, almost
smooth, and very slightly toothed at the
edge. The golden yellow flowers have
an orange-colored disc, and are about
two and a half inches in diameter. D.
austriacum Clusi is a dwarf-growing
form, more compact in habit, and deeper
in the tint of its flowers. The latter
open fully three weeks later than ths
type; in this way it is a gain. From my
experience, it seems difficult to obtain
true to name, the type being sometimes
supplied for Clusi. D. austriacum plant-
agineum excelsum is, in my opinion, much
the finest form of all for any purpose. It
grows to a height of about four feet,
and is less branching than D. austria-
cum. The flowers are cup-shaped, and
the leaves deeply incised at the edge. The
flowers are deep yellow, and the long,
stout stems enhance the value of this
variety for cutting. — E. Molyneui in
Gardeners' Magazine.

BIRTH OF THE ROSE.

There are two traditions as to the
origin of the rose. Ai-cording to Sir
John Mandeville, a Jewish maid of Beth-
lehem (whom Southey names Zillah)
was beloved by a brutish sot named Ham-
mel. The maiden rejected this suitor,
and , he, in revenge, aci-used Zillah of
oflfenses for which she was condemned
to be burned alive. When brought to the
stake the flames refused to hurt Zillah,
but burned Hammel to a cinder. There
.she stood in a garden of roses, for the
Vjrands which had been kintUed became
red roses, and those which had not
caught fire white ones. These, accord-
ing to the tradition, were the first roses
that bloomed on earth since the loss of
paradise.

Then, according to a Mussulman tra-
dition, the rose is thus accounted for:
When Mohammed took his journey to
heaven the sweat which fell on the earth
from the prophet 's forehead produced
white roses, and that which fell from
the animal he rode upon, named Al Bo-
rak, produeetl yellow ones. At the pres-
ent day the sellers of roses in eastern
towns cr^ aloud in the streets, "The
rose was a thorn and the sweat of the
prophet Mohammed dropping upon it
formed it into a rose. ' '^Wisconsin State
Journal.

"I SHOULD not care to be without the
RzviEw, as one article is often worth
more to me than the cost of many years '
subscription." — Chas. H. Zundel, Hav-
erstraw, N. Y.

BUT THERE

must be some reason why
you should buy your Rib-
bons here. There is* a
good reason too You buy
direct from the manufacturer, which means that " YOLf
SAVE ALL BETWEEN PROFITS." Realize this, and
further -that the Ribbons are the RIGHT RIBBONS for
Morists to use, woven specially as to lustre, colors, firm-
ness and touch.

Cutting out all jobbers and commission profits, we give
you Ribbons of superior quality to those you now use,
and at a less price.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

August 18, 1904.

FROM OUR ENGLISH EXCHANGES.

The Gardeners' Chronicle.

The Kew collection has been enriched
by two very distinct novelties, interest-
ing if not of trade value. Stapelia Pil-
lansii has stems something like those
of S. patula, producing clusters of star-
like flowers four to five inches across, of
a dark purple brown color. Trichocaulon-
Pillansii is an addition to a genus not
often seen in cultivation, as it inhabits
the driest parts of South Africa, and
under cultivation usually gets so much
moisture that it soon dies. It would
probably be called a cactus by one who
did not know it. Both these specimens
come from N. S. Pillans, who collected
them in South Africa.

Begonia W. H. Edwards has large
camellia-shaped flowers of pale salmon
color, having white flaking and a pro-
nounced white margin to the petals. Tho
flowers are six inches across. It was
given an award of merit at the recent
Temple show.

Helianthemums are fast increasing
in variety and popularity on account of
their usefulness in rendering that part
of the garden wher« they are planted
especially gay in spring and early sum-
mer. One nurseryman catalogues no
fewer than thirty varieties. The variety
of H, roseum known as superba, is one
of the vei-y best.

So many losses occur through the care-
less packing of cut flowers that some
hints gleaned from a recent number of
the Irish Farming World may be useful
to those who will not heed more lengthy
exhortations: "Two infallible rules
may be laid down for the right treat-
ment of flowers to be sent away. One
is to cut them the day before (prefer-
ably not in the heat of the sun), and
place them in water in a cellar or other
cool place until the time for packine.
The second is to pack fairly tightly,
filling the box with the flowers or with
supplementary paper or dry moss.
Flowers should not be packed when wet,
as they take up sufficient moisture to
last them on their journey if first kept in
water as above directed. Shrubby, hard-
stemmed subjects, such as lilacs, rho-
dodendrons, and roses last better if some
of the bark is peeled off to allow them
before they are packed to suck up more
moisture than they otherwise could do.
Perhaps chrysanthemums are the most
enduring flowers in transit, but the nar-
cissus genus and anemones and half-
opened tulips last well. Eed roses are
perishable, but te^ roses gathered in bud
keep fresh for days."

SCHIZANTHUS WiSETONENSIS, One of

the most valuable introductions in re-
cent years, should, in order to have it
in its best character, be treated as a cool
greenhouse plant. Very fine specimens
can be grown in a 32-sized p«t, and as
it is found there is among the seedling
a good proportion of plants that develop
a dwarf compact, habit of growth, this
type is admirably adapted for pot cult-
ure.' A suitable compost is made up of
good loam, some well-decayed manure,
leaf soil and a little sand. The pots must
be well drained.

Begonia Avalanche is a very hand-
some white flowered variety recently ex-
hibited by Blackmore & Langdon, of
Bath, and awarded a certificate of merit
by the floral committee of the Eoyal
Horticultural Society.

Cryptomeria japonica.

Japan CeAar.

In this rarely beautiful and unique Japanese
evergreen, we have a most dainty and handsome
jardiniere plant for general cultivation; a plant
as beautiful and more graceful than the expen-
sive Araucarla Excelsa for which it is often mis-
taken, but which has the faculty of successfully
withstanding the trying atmosphere of the living
rooms. It Is the only plant at present known
which Is a perfect substitute for the Araucarla
In appearance, and which can be grown with
perfect success in any living room. Hence your
demand for it will become great.

It is of a beautiful dark green color and makes
a decided novel apoearance: It Is as decorative
as a palm in any situation and sure to attract
instant attention above all others.

We have made a specialty of this plant for the
last few years and have put more on the market
than any other house. A few three-year old
plants, which were kept to see what they really
would become, have sattBfled us that they are
valuable articles to the florist.

SHORTIA GALACIFOLIA.

This charming little spring-flowering
plant is undoubtedly one of the gems
of the garden in the early days of the
year. In the month of March the droop-
ing, white, prettily-fringed flowers, held
aloft above the crimsoned leaves on pinK
foot-stalks, are perhaps more beautiful
than any of the showier spring irises
that are in bloom at the same period.
Discovered over 100 years ago in the
mountainous region of North Carolina,
it was lost to botanists for the best part
of a century, but introduced into culti-
vation in this country in 1877. Al-
though since that date the species has
been largely imported, it is by no means
always to be found in good health in
gardens.

A compost of sandy peat and sphag-
num moss has been recommended for its
culture, and in this the plants are doing
excellently with me ; but I may say that
I have seen plants exhibiting robust
vigor in pure fibrous loam, in loam and
leaf-mold, and even in soil containing
sufficient lime to render the culture of
rhododendrons a failure, though soil of
the last description was at one time held
to be fatal to success with tiie shortia.
One essential evidently is that the com-
))08t should be porous, for the plant ap-
pears to resent stagnant moisture about
its roots in the winter.

Considerable difference of opinion ex
ists as to the correct site for the shortia.
Some recommend that it should be grown
in shade, and a friend who knows the
plant in its native habitat assured me
that it carpeted the ground beneath
trees; but in this country entire ab-
sence of direct sunlight seems to prevent
the foliage from assuming that crimson
tint which is one of the chief beauties of
the plant, and renders it such an at-
tractive object in the autumn. Possibly
a, position on the north side of a rock-
mass, where it may obtain about three
hours' sunshine in the summer, is as
good a site as can be suggested. My
plants are growing in just such a spot,
and both, situation and soil appear to l)e
to their liking.— S. W. Fitzherbert in
the Gardeners ' Chronicle.

CORRESPONDENCE SOLICITED

BOILER ON GROUND LEVEL.

My boiler pit fills up above the grate
bars with seep water every time there
cornea a stiff rainfall. It seems out of
the question to find any way to keep the
water out without a big expense. I have
taken the boiler out of the pit and will
have to find some other way to heat the
greenhouse. I propose to set the boiler on
a level with the ground floor. I have a
two and one-half or three horse-power
gas or gasoline engine with a force
pump. Can I create suction enough to
drain the condensed steam from the
pipes into some sort of a receptacle or
tank placed below the water line in the
boiler and from this receptacle force the
water into the boiler with the same
pumpf The lines of pipes will have a
perfect gravity fall. The return pipe
will be on the bottom of the floor in the
engine room. I could use a steam trap
for low pressure but a first-class trap will
cost $75 or $100 and I can hardly see
my way to buy a trap inasmuch as I an-
ticipate changing the plant next year.
With a steam trap one has to always
have five or ten pounds of steam to show
on the gauge before the trap will do
good work. I heat with steam.

E. E. O.

By placing a reservoir of considerable
capacity, ^y thirty gallops or qiore, be-
low the level of the returns and connect-
ing same to a steam trap, not a "re-
turn steam trap, ' ' but simply a trap
which catches and condenses the steam so
that water only goes into the reservoir,
you can connect a force pump to the en-
gine so as to pump the condensation
from the hot well, or reservoir, and re-
turn it to the boiler.

Another plan which might be used is
to run the plant as a hot water plant
during mild weather and operate the
pump as above described during such
times as the hot water will not do the
work. The only loss with such a plan
would be the loss of water in the sys-
tem, which would have to be drawn off
each time the change was made. Valves
would have to be placed in the return
pipes so as to allow for a gravity cir-
culation while using hot water, which
would be closed and the condensation
caught in the reservoir and pumped into
the boiler during severe weather when
steam would be necessary. The one trou-
ble with any scheme which does not pro-
vide for a gravity system is that if the
pump fails to work the boiler may get
dry. As a temporary affair, however, the
pumping engine can be used. But un-
less some one is in constant attendance
there is more or less risk. Many large

CHEMICALS FOR ROSES.

The following mixture has been rec-
ommended as a complete fertilizer for
roses under glass:

Superphosphate (high grade), 130 lbs.;
sulphate ammonia, 10 lbs.; nitrate soda,
30 lbs.; sulphate potash, 40 lbs.

It is recommended to add one ounce
of this mixture to one gallon of water
for two square yards of bench or bed
surface once a week as the plants neetl
it. This is equivalent to three pounds
to forty-eight gallons of water applied
to 864 square feet of bench or bed sur-
face, or about six ounces to fifty gallons
of water for 100 square feet. This is
the right strength for weakly plants.
Twelve ounces could be used to fifty
gallons of water per 100 feet for strong
plants once in ten days or two weeks, as
the plants need it. It is safer to use the
fifty gallons per 100 feet standard of
application, as this is about the amount
of water usually applied in an ordinary
watering to 100 square feet of bed six
inches deep. — Gardeners' Chronicle.

VIBURNUM TOMENTOSUM.

The beautiful shrub generally known
as Viburnum plicatum is really a variety
of this species. In its typical state V.
tomentosum has a flat, umbellate inflor-
escence, the centre flowers of which are
small and structurally perfect; whilst
those on the margin are large and imper-
fect— i. e., they have no stamens or pistil.
In the variety plicatum all the flowers are
of this showy sterile kind, and the in-
florescence becomes more rounded in
form, resembling that of the common
"snowball tree," V. opulus sterilis. In-
troduced from Japan by Fortune about
fifty-five years ago, twenty years in ad-
vance of its parent type, V. plicatum has
always been the better known plant of
the two. Had one to choose between
them, preference would perhaps be given
to this one; but as there is no such ne-
cessity, one may well grow both, for
they are not only very beautiful, but
are more distinct from each other than
many separate species are.

This season V. tomentosum has been
particularly fine. Its branches have the
same stiff, horizontal pose so charac-
teristic of v. plicatum, and they bear
the flowers (which are white) in similar
double rows of corymbs, each about 4
inches across. J. Veitch & Sons have
recently distributed a form of V. tomen-
tosum with an inflorescence similar to
that of the type but even finer; they
have named it Mariesiiy — Gardeners'
Chronicle.

In the adv. of the Niagara Cement
and Concrete Co., page 551, issue of Au-
gust 11, the prices quoted on galvanized
wire rose stakes should read per 1,000.

BEATING THE WHITE FLY.

Last winter I related my erperience
with the white fly. By persistent syring-
ing with hot water I destroyed nearly all
the swarm. A few escaped but gave me
no further trouble until the planting
season had passed, when I found they
were injuring my stock plants. An-
other campaign was needed and winter
tactics impossible. Studious observation
proved that they were quite partial to
certain individual plants and, while visit-
ing many, assembled in force and depos-
ited their eggs on but a few. This was
the key to their destruction, I used those
plants as lures and traps, standing them
in open order, so as not to unduly dis-
turb the flies when handling the plants.

After dusk, when the flies da not take
wing readily, I prepare a pail of water
at the temperature of 120 degrees, and a
kettle of scalding water to maintain the
temperature during the operation. .By
handling the plants gently and quickly
inverting and immersing them for a sec-
ond or so I destroy the flies and their
eggs and "set 'em up again."

Some will escape and the operation
may need repeating, but it is done so
easily and rapidly and is so thoroughly
effective that I have no longer any dread
of the little rascals. J. T.

ADIANTIM CROWEANIM

The New Maidenhair Fern.

FTER A THOROUGH and careful examination by all the experts and critics in
the trade at the St. Louis Convention, and stood the test so well, the pro-
gressive, keen and up-to-date florist should this year buy this standard intro-
duction that is freely conceded to be the best keeping, lasting and money-making,
both for cut fronds and plants of all Adiantums ever introduced to the trade. : : :

%

A Great Acquisition.

The best of all ferns for cut fronds. BrlnKS the hlgrhest prices.
The eaBlBBt to «rrow and the easiest to sell. Has received the hl^rh-
est encomiiuns from the leading cut flower dealers In the country.

ADIANTUM CROWEANUM criminated at Utica. N.Y.. about
fourteen years airo, and has been extensively irrown by the origrinal
owner, Mr. Crowe, who has received phenomenal prices for the cut
fronds In the New York and other markets, and has created a irreat
demand for it. Buy now. Buy liberally and reap the benefits.

The fronds are long, elesrantly proportioned and of a texture
that renders it the best keeper and shipper of all Adiantums. It is
a verv free and continuous grrower, requires no rest and responds
readily to fertilizers. Anyone can crrow it and get good money for it.

they are as carefully packed as these were. They are simply
perfect." i Signed] Thomas R. Pboctob.

DAHLIAS NOT BLCXDMING.

I have planted some nice varieties
of dahlias. I first started them in the
greenhouse in February, so that they
•were strong plants when planted outside
in May. They are full of buds all the
time, and very healthy, but do not bloom.
The buds seem to blast and rot. We
water them with a spray from the hose
nozzle. A considerable portion of the
day they are exposed to the sun with-
out shade. I do not know anything
about growing dahlias. Any information
you can give me as to how to protect
tho flowers and make them bloom will be
appreciated. Wm. Laksen.

Mr. Larsen's trouble is mostly a re-
sult of too much water. Dahlias love
plenty of water, as well as good rich
soil, yet both of these can be given in
excess. A thorough watering once or
twice a week, according to location and
condition of the weather, is very bene-
ficial.

The way we grow dahlias is to plant
them in fairly rich soil, which has been
thoroughly plowed and then harrowed
a number of times to thoroughly pul-
verize and firm the soil. On our heavier
soils we use disc and Acme harrows.
The plants or roots are then planted
and we cultivate, not too deeply, say,
about three to four inches in the be-
ginning. As soon as the plants come
into bud and bloom we cultivate only
one to two inches deep, but continue to
stir the surface soil after every rain the
entire season. During excessive drouth
we irrigate every six to twelve days, ac-
cording to the conditions of the weather,
and after each irrigation we stir the soil
again, so as to keep the surface loose
and fine and prevent from baking. A
stirring of the surface soil, nine times
out of ten, is far more beneficial than
an application of water. After the plants
have been blooming profusely for some
time and the blooms become smaller, we
give a top dressing of fertilizer, which
keeps up the size of the flowers.

COIL BOILER.

I have a tljree-quarter-span house 20x
100, one foot of glass in side walls and
gables glass, eight feet to ridge. How
shall I go to work to build a coil boiler
oiit of 1%-inch pipe? I want the press-
ure system with safety valve and no ex-
pansion tank. Cord wood for fuel arid
00 degrees required when the tenip.;raUire
is 10 above zero outdoors. Fow niauy
2-inch feed and return pipes will be need-
ed. Location Puget Sound; house in be
used for cucumbers. J. L. K.

A boiler such as you desire was illus-
trated in the Florists' Eeview of De-
cember 31, 1903, page '269, and its con-
struction described. To provide th'; heat
required in a house of the Jmiensions
noted it would.be necessary that you use
250 feet of li/4-inch pipe in tho const/u.:"
tion of your boiler. This will require
about eight square feet of grate i^urfa'-e.
If you construct the boiler with grate
bars about four feet long and u lixobi'x
two feet wide by arranging the ]>ipes
above the firebox with return bends, it will
be possible to keep the boiler v.-ithin co-n-
paratively close limits. Two ten-hole
manifold tees can be used to provide
means for caring for the return water,
as well as the heated water. If the to lor
is made six feet long the manifolds chu

be used at the rear of the boiler gnd
three return bends employed in tho ''on-
struction of each coil, i. e., four lonj^tbs
of pipe wUl be used to make up t)ic
coil. Ten of these placed inside the
bricked up furnace will give the required
heating surface. The lowest pipe should
be about fifteen inches above the grat'*
bars and at least twelve inches should
be allowed below the bars for the ash pit.

I do not think it will be satisfactory
or economical to attempt to oper.ito a
plant of this description without an ex-
pansion tank unless automatic feed water
connections of some description are pro-
vided. The boiler does not contain a
very large volume of water and for that
reason is liable to much more violent
changes than a boiler containing more
water. If an expansion tank can be con-
nected to the manifold of the boiler en-
tered by the return pipes and located
sixteen to*twenty feet above the boiler,
a good pressure will be maintained and
more satisfaction obtained than oy t'le
other method.

Your house requires 800 feet of radia-
tion, to provide which will take thirteen
runs of 2-inch pipe, i. e., 1,300 lineal
feet. If two of these are used as flow
pipes the others may be made up into
manifolds or coils to act as returns, six
in one group and five in another. If
properly graded these may be arranged
on the side walls or under the benches
of the house if it has raised benches.

• L. C.C.

CAPAQTY OF FLOWS.

How many feet of 1^4 -inch pipe will
a 3-inch main heat successfully with low
pressure steam? How. many feet will
4-inch and 5-inch mains supply! Is 2,000
lineal feet too much for the 3-inch or
7,000 feet too much for the 4-inch?

K. F. C.

Under normal conditions, where the
runs are not too long, a 3-iuch main
should supply 2,170 feet of 114-inch
pipe, a 4-inch main 3,600 feet and a
5-inch main 7,000 feet. These are con-
servative estimates and under conditions
where sudden changes do not prevail the
4-inch main might successfully supply
7,000 feet of l^i-inch pipe. L. C. C.

RICHMOND, IND.

. Carnation planting is drawing to a
close and from all reports and appear-
ances the plants did remarkably well,
considering the dry spell during the past
three weeks. Among the varieties that
attracted my especial attention at E. G.
Hill Co. 's place was The Cardinal, 7,000
of which occupy two benches in the mam-
moth house. The plants look clean and
vigorous, making new breaks and sending
out new shoots that speak well for the
variety. It is unquestionably a winner
and will appeal especially to those grow-
ers who have had success with Estelle.
An improved Estelle will mean a deal
to those who can cut long- stemmed and
full-sized flowers at a time when the old
favorite, Estelle, lacks in these qualities.
Over 75,000 have already been booked up.

Lawson and Enchantress have been
planted in la^ge quantities, and among
the whites Lady Bountiful takes first
rank. A great demand is expected for
this variety during the coming season.
Fred Burki is being tested here in small
quantity. Like its famous parent, the
Lawson, it seems to have adapted itself
to Indiana soil and does as well as in
its native state, western Pennsylvania.

Exhibition chrysanthemums, as usual,
are up to the standard and some fine
specimens will be shown during the com-
ing shows, both east and west. Not the
least and, candidly speaking, above any
other rose on the place that drew my
attention was Etna, Mr. Hill's own seed-
ling, a red rose that promises much vigor
of growth, color and form of bloom,
stem, etc. Five benches have been
planted and a finer sight, even at this
early season, it would be hard to point
out.

Their recent acquisition in realty is a
fifty-acre farm in the vicinity of the
Richmond asylum. It is not likely that
potatoes or cabbage will grace this site,
but something more remunerative in their
own lines.

The B. K. & B. Floral Co., on Asy-
lum avenue, has recently enlarged the
range by one house of 20x240, all planted
with carnations. Their own Kichmond
Gem, which will be "disseminated during
the coming spring, is well worthy of a
trial by every grower looking for a va-
riety to take the place of Crane, Apollo
and the like. As a grower it is in the

first rank. Its color is ideal, the stem
all that could be desired, and its bloom-
ing qualities surpassed by no variety.
Enchantress, Lawson and Queen have
been planted largely, the latter having
proved the best and most profitable white
on the place.

At E. T. Grave's things in general
look clean, healthy and attractive. Their
rose-growing venture has long since
passed the experimental stage, having
proved a great success. They not only
grow roses in quantity, but grow tbemi
remarkably well.

E. Ruch is putting the finishing touches
to the two carnation houses built this-
summer.

Florist Gause is about to move to his
new residence, adjoining his greenhouses
on National road.

Convention talk is ripe and the two-
standbys, E. G. rfill and John Evans, are
sure to be on deck in St. Louis. X.

RELIEVES THEM OF -SURPLUS."

We are in receipt of the following let-
ter from a well-known plant house:

Sometime during May or June a man called'
at our ofiice and induced us to subscribe to
a scheme he had for disposing of surplus stock.
The fee to belong to this "association" was-
something like $1.60 or $2. On July 2, we
mailed a list of surplus stock to this asso-
ciation and the letter has been returned by
the postal authorities marked "Parties cannot
be found."

If this gentleman is a fake he should be
publlfihed to prevent others falling in bis trap.
We Inclose the printed matter he had on top
of his surplus list, also the envelope showing
same returned to us. Do you know anything
about him?

If you can enlighten us any on this matter,
you will very much oblige.

The printed matter was a heading for
a list printed "Nurserymen & Florists'
Surplus Association, P. O. Box 395,.
Louisville, Ky. " The envelope was cor-
rectly addressed as above. The post-
master at Louisville had apparently for-
warded it, readdressing, to John M.
Brown, Newport, Ky. The postmaster at
Newport returned it to the writer after
holding it from July 5 to August 5.

FLORIST TIES THE KNOT,

James S. McMahon, the retail florist of
Jersey City, is a justice of the peace and
able to execute ' * the whole order ' ' when
it is wedding wbrk. The way it some-
times happens is related as follows by a
local paper:

Justice of the Peace James S. McMahon was
putting together some funeral flowers In ^Is
place of business at 302 Grove street Saturday
afternoon, when a young man and young
woman entered. The Judge put the last small
blue flower into the final word of the Inscrip-
tion, "We Mourn Our Loss." and then politely
Inquired of what service he could be to the
couple.

"You could marry us, if you would be so
kind," answered the young man, "and please
hurry up, as we have to catch a train."

"Wait a minute, if you please," said Judge
McMahon, as he retired behind the ice box.
He reappeared inside of a minute with a fine
and large wedding bell made of pink and white
roses. He suspended tt from a convenient
hook in the celling, and invited the couple to
stand underneath. They obeyed, and as they
stood there holding hands they were united
"for better or worse, for richer or poorer."

Judge McMahon said be was glad at being
able to accommodate them, and they said he
was very kind. The happy bridegroom gave the
magistrate a fee "in proportion to the impor-
tance of the service rendered."

Philadelphia, Pa. — Godfrey Asch-
mann, 1012 Ontario street, is building
two new houses, Lord & Bui-nham Co.
furnishing the material.

Dixon, III. — The Clipper Lawn Mow-
er Co., of Reading, Pa., is moving its
factor^' to this city.

New Carnation^Frcd Burki |

Which Will be Disseminated in 1905 — Commencing in January. I

V rorl R i I r 1/ i ** ^^^ result of a cross between L awson and a seedling of much merit ; t^e latter being the seed parent. It
r I ^\M DUI Kl possesses all the good qualities to induce the most comeivative growers to include it among best whites.

HERE ARE A FEW OF ITS MERITORIOUS POINTS:

I

lit. The blooms come perfect and uniform, averaging 8
to 3>i inches in size.

3d. The stem measures from 20 to 30 inches, being stifi and
erect and resembles that of Lawson.

3d. It never crops, but yields continuously from Novem-
ber untilJuly.

4th. The calyx is perfect; showing no tendency of M

bursting. ^

Bth. Its keeping qualities, a point not to be overlooked, I

are second to none and equal to the best. , a

6th. It transplants easily and roots like the proverbial S

weed. ■

Those who saw it growing are unanimous in declaring the FRED BURKI the ideal white in every respect. It g

scored 88 points at the Detroit Carnation Convention, receiving a certificate of merit. Don't hesitate placing your B

order for FRED BURKI. It will prove a good investment. g

A GRAND PINK CARNATION, lighter in color than Lawson, with no ccriac or magenta shadings.

1st. A strong free growth and of easy propagation.

2nd. Large 3^ -inch flowers of a beautiful dark shade of clear pink. No imperfect or faded blooms.
3rd. Extra long stems, perfectly upright and stiff. No short or weak stems under any conditions.
4th. Gmies into flower with the earliest blooms and produces freely and continually throughout the
season. Has never shown any cropping tendency.
We have a large stock and can guarantee early delivery, $12 per 100; $100 per 1000.

DRAINING BOILERS.

Is it preferable to let the old water
out of the boiler and pipes and substi-
tute fresh water, if the water was in
use for a year or more, or is the old
water all right? 0. H. T.

If the water which is used were pure
and free from suspended earth or sedi-
ment, there would be no objection to al-
lowing it to remain in the system indefi-
nitely. Such water is diflScult to ob-
tain and all hydrant or well water either
carries suflRcient dirt or mineral salts,
such as lime or magnesia, to render it
desirable to drain the system once in six
months at least, and place therein some
good boiler cleaning preparation which
will remove scale and other deposits from
the interior of the pipes and the boiler.
Such deposits or incrustations thicken
the walls of the pipes, impede the flow
of water and lessen radiation, thus mak-
ing unnecessary inroads upon the coal
pile. If for no other reason, the system
should be cleaned as thoroughly as pos-
sible twice, or oftener, each year.

PIPING.

I liave built two houses 18x50, side
walls five feet with eighteen inches glass.
Have a Weathered No. 6 boiler and 1,200
feet of 4-inch pipe. What will be the
best way to arrange the piping to heat
and save fuel? "• -P*

To insure a temperature of 60 degrees
during severe weather your houses will
each require six pipes the length of the
house. These might be arranged as fol-
lows: Three flow pipes carried from thfc
boiler along the exposed side of the house
across the end most distant from boiler
and return under the bench on the oppo-
site side. If the houses are attached
this scheme can be used more success-
fully than will be the case if the houses
are independent. It will require on this
basis 360 feet of pipe for each house, or
720 feet for the two. If a temperature
of 70 degrees is required the piping
should be increased, either by placing a
loop under the center bench of the house
or by adding a fourth pipe to those go-
ing around the house. I". C. C.

STEAM BOILER FOR HOT WATER.

I have a carnation house 20x65 and a
violet house 20x35, north and south,
which I wish to heat with hot water.
Will 4-inch ^cast iron pipe answer, and
how many runs will be required! The
outdoor temperature sometimes goes as
low as 20 degrees below zero. I can
get a steam boiler 3x6 feet, which I
want to use for hot water. J. J.

By having the opening for supplying
water from the boiler to the pipes en-
larged to 4-inch and the return opening
made the same size there should be no
difficulty in heating your houses with an
upright tubular boiler such as is used
for steam heating purposes, provided the
boiler has sufficient heating capacity.
This can only be determined from the
size, length and number of flues con*
tained in the boiler.

The house 20x65 with water at 180
degrees will require six 4-inch pipes the
length of the house to provide a tem-
perature of 60 degrees during severe
weather, and the house 20x35 to main-
tain a temperature of 40 degrees during
cold spells will require four 4-inch pipes
the length of the house.

New Castle, Ind. — The South Park
Floral Co. is overhauling its boilers and
putting the heating apparatus in first-
class shape for winter.

PIPING.

We have a large boiler which gives us
one 4-inch flow and one 4-inch return
for each house. We would like to make
a change as indicated in the enclosed
sketch. Each house is 20x100, with shed
along one end. The flow passes along
the end, with the expansion tank at
the highest point. Then the pipe
branches into two 4-inch which in turn
each divide into two. The pipes drop
fifteen inches and at the boiler there is
two feet fall. Let me know what you
think of it. A. J. E.

Your plan seems to be a thoroughly
practical one and will undoubtedly work
well. I see no reason for putting in
the two sets of U bends, however. The
main flow pipe can as well be discharged
into a manifold T with four outlets as
into a U and this into two separate U's.
Another improvement would be found in
placing the expansion tank on the return
pipe near where it enters the boiler,
rather than in the riser near its highest
point and where the water is hottest.
The flow will be less impeded and a
higher temperature maintained in the
flow pipes by placing the expansion tank
on the return as suggested. L. C. C.

How to Destroy Cabbage Worms.

THE SLUG SHOT can be uped lightly or
heavily, and the cabbage suffers no harm. The
cabbage forms its head by the interior growth ;
it throws off its earlier and outside leaves, and
no dust can enfold within its head.

Apply Slug Shot with a Duster (see illus-
tration), sieve it over the plants or full grown
cabbage. The powder is very fine and goes a
long way in field or garden.

Is Hammond's Slug Shot Safe to Use?

PLEASE LISTEN.

We work in it constantly for months at a time,
with no ill effects ensuing.

1^ To eat Slug Shot in quantity to do harm to
either man or animal is not practicable. So far
as feeding chickens, pigs, or cows with heads of
cabbage on which Slug Shot was applied, it has
been done for years with impunity. 2Jo poisonous
matter can be absorbed into the leaf.

New Steel Valley or Side Gutter

We desire to call attention to the following' features of this new Outter : —

ABSENCE OF SHADOW.

The width of the gutter beiog
only five inches, there is cast the
minimum amount of shadow with
proper allowance for foot room.

VEW SASH-BAB
BBACKET.

This is an entirely new design.
An iron bottom plate is held to the
gutter by a hook bolt. One end of
the bottom plate projects under
the gutter. This bottom plate
carries the drip from the sash-
bar into the drip trough. The end
of the sash-bar is held away from
the gutter, and is exposed to the
circulation of air. The end grain
of the wood is not broken by a
screw. No other method of at-
taching sash bars to a gutter
affords as great a protection
against end rot. The brackets can
be set to suit any width of glass.

NO DBZP.

A galvanized iron drip-trough
catches all drip and leakage and
drains it into the hollow post tops,
and thence down the posts into
the under drains.

(Patented United States and Foreign Countries.)

STBENGTH.

This gutter will carry safely a
load of 4000 lbs. between supports.

BOOF ENTIBEIiT SUP-

POSTED hy the OUTTEB.

Our gutter ironwork is arranged
so that the roof may be supported
by purlin trusses and by tie rods.
This does away with all supports
except the gutter posts.

POST TOPS.

These are threaded for regular
two-inch pipe coupling, and this
ensures the roof from lifting off
the posts.

JOXNTS between SECTIONS

The gutter sections are cut to
exact lengths and the ends drilled
for bolts. In order to seal the
joints, the sides of the post tops
are carried up, as shown in the
cut, no open cracks are then left.

NO TBIMMINO

OF ENDS OF BABS.

For standard pitch of roof the
ends of bars are left square.

Price includes Gutter Channel, Drip Troughs, Sash-Bar Brackets, Bolts, Post Tops, Post Feet.

Ventilating

CIRCULATING PUMPS.

In an answer to a query which ap-
peared in the Re:view of July 14 it is
stated that "it is not best to endeavor to
circulate hot water in runs of pipe ex-
ceeding 100 feet in length without a cir-
culating pump. Are circulating pumps
largely usedf Are they the ordinary
steam, gasoline, or hot air pumpst I
am building a house 50x300 feet for let-
tuce and tomatoes and want to heat with
hot water. A. W. C.

Any slow-acting force pump operated
by steam, gasoline or electric power can
be used to pump the water out of the
returns and deliver it into the boilers.
If you can arrange your buildings so as
to have the heating plant in the middle
of the houses, rather than at one end,
you can undoubtedly use a gravity sys-
tem. On long runs the gravity system
works too slowly. The water loses too
much of its heat in making the trip
from and to the boiler, so that the dis-
tant parts of the houses are apt to lack
heat. A circulating pump will quicken
the flow and deliver the water back to
tne boiler at a much higher temperature
than would be possible on long runs
with a gravity system, and in that way
supply water of more nearly even
temperature to all parts of the system,
thus insuring a more uniform tempera-
ture. L, C. C.

NEW CASTLE, IND.

The prospects here for a successful
year in cut flowers appear to be very-
bright. The different large concerns
are making an excellent showing with
young stock. The obnoxious leaf roller
is somewhat prevalent in this section and
it is only by persistently picking them
off that they are kept down.

While Heller Bros, have always been
rose growers exclusively, they are mak-
ing a departure in planting a number
of their houses with carnations. This is
more of an experiment and, if success-
ful, will undoubtedly become a regular
part of their business. The new house
which was recently put up by them is
one of the widest for its length in this
country, it being 47x265. There are
twelve benches in this house, six being
planted with Brides and the others with
Maids. One of the Beauty houses is
yielding a very fine cut, stems measuring
as high ^s thirty inches, which is rather
good for this time of the year. Aside
from installing a new 100 horse-power
hot-water boiler, erecting a good-sized
propagating house and making a few
necessary alterations before cold weather
seta in, no changes will be made.

Dittman's Beauty houses, situated
just across the street from Heller Bros.,
are in good condition and Mr. Dittman
is getting some very good blooms.

The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. is also
making a fine showing with their stock,
particularly some of their Brides and
Maids, which are doing exceptionally
well and making remarkable growth.

IRON GREENHOUSES

The Duplex Outter and the Duplex Eaves have solved

the question of bow to build up-to-date Kreenbouses as durable as

tbe iron frame greenhouses at high prices, and nearly as cheap as

wooden houses. See tbe cut that lepresents the new Duplex

Eaves, tbe most durable, strongest and simplest to erect. Any

common laborer can set them as perfect as an expert mechanic.

It is perfection in construction. No ice or snow to darken your

houses when light means money. Positively no shade from the

Duplex Eaves. Costs only about S2.0O per foot, including Duplex

Gutters and Eaves, Iron Posts for Gutters. Iron Purlins with Posts,

Tees and Floor Plates. Center Posts with Plates and Bases.

STAXTDASD VENTXIiATZNO MACHZVES, complete with double strong Pipe,

Cypress Sash Bars and Ventilating Sash. Investigate the proposition and convince yourself of

the fact. Also note the simplest steam return Trap made ; just what a florist needs and a

coal dealer condemns. Catalogues and circulars free.

SAVED ABOUT 15 PER CENT. IN FUEL

MONTAGUE BROS., Lim», Ohio, write :

" The past ■eason was the severest we ever passed
throng^h in greenhouse work. Winter caught us before
we were fully prepared for it. Tour 'Pierson' boiler stood
the test in every particular, and did the work as it was
claimed to do. We were able to save about 16 per cent, in
fuel, having had a boiler of different make in the same
house the two preceding seasons. It is very easy to fire;
the draft is arranged almost perfectly, and consequently
it is a very quick heater. After the water is hot it takes
very little fuel to keep an even heat. It is the easiest
boiler to clean we have ever seen."

T~T

LESS FUEL THAN ANY OTHER

Mir. TH08. JENKINSON Gardener to A. R. Peacock, Ksq..
Pittsburg Pa., writes :

" The 'Pierson' boiler which you installed here Sep-
tember, 1903, has suited the purpose admirably. Z know
of no boiler that can give better satisfaction. Iiast
winter was a very severe one here, and the ' Pierson '
boiler got a thorough test, and proved itself more than
able for the work. A very important feature is the quick
response when firing is commenced; it heats quicker
and consumes less fuel than any other boiler Z know."

CONVENTION IMPRESSIONS.

The Review has already given so com-
plete an account of the St. Louis conven-
tion that little can be added. Yet a
few impressions, I trust, will not be un-
welcome. What little we have to say
about it will be guided by sincerity and
no bouquet throwing or "taflfy" will be
indulged in. Compliments and pleasant
words are easy to express, and a mutual
pleasure to all, but misleading to the ab-
sent ones.

The hall where the ceremonies took
place was one of the best the society has
ever met in; a spacious stage, finely dec-
orated and a seating capacity for an
audience that would have held four
times the number of florists that entered
its doors. We did not admire that prim-
itive pulpit-like erection that allowed
only a view of President Breitmeyer's
head and neck and obscured his portly
figure.

The short address of welcome from
Mr. Walbridge was eloquent. The fact
that Mr. Walbridge is president of the
Business Men's League of St. Louis, and
likely some day to be Missouri's gov-
ernor, has taught him the value of time
and that "Brevity is the soul of wit."
The reply by the society's orator, Rob-
ert Craig, was eloquent in voice, sentiment
and facts, and all honor to Robert for
coming out flatfooted in his regret that
ornamental horticulture was so meagerly
represented at the World's Fair. And
while on that subject, could not one mil-
lion of the money spent have been taken
from those stupendous buildings and de-
voted to trees and shrubs to relieve the
monotony of those many miles of plaster
walls?

The president's address was, we think,
the most complete and practical of any
in the history of our society, and it is
evident that no president has ever taken
a greater interest or held a more earnest
desire to see the society advance in the

right direction than Philip Breitmeyer.
Phil, who is not a noisy man, made a
strenuous effort to raise his voice so that
all could hear him, and succeeded, which
is more than can be said of several ex-
presidents.

We think, on the whole, the essays,
discussions and debates on several ques-
tions were above the average of the past.
How difficult it is now to rake up a
subject that is strictly floriculture. When
the society was young, there was an
abundance of practical subjects which
we were all glad to hear discoursed upon.
They have been about all ventilated and
thrashed out, yet that paper by Mr. Peter-
son will be found most valuable and a
guide to many.

Nothing was finer than Mr. Petti-
grew 's essay on the influence and ben-
efits of our public parks. The cheapest,
yet best and most glorious investment
for • a city of any size, is its public
parks. They have a greater influence
for good than a church of any denomi-
nation. Let us have more parks and we
shall need less police.

E. G. Hill's paper on "An American
Type of Roses" was worthy of the
man, and that's saying enough. And
the questions fired at him showed an in-
terest in this great subject. Mr, Hill is
an explorer in American horticulture, an
American Vilmorin, and that grey head
of his does a lot of thinking.

We greatly enjoyed Mr. Vaughan's
idea of the "Ideal Employe." It was
lively and most attractively delivered and
his version of an ideal employe is greatly
to be desired, for he certainly would be
ideal. Such an entertaining debate fol-
lowed that we refrained from raising
our weak voice.

There id a large measure of truth in
the opinion of many that the conduct
of an employe is moulded somewhat by
the character and treatment of the em-

ployer. But that only goes so far. If
all employ«s were turned out of one
mould lit would be easy to control, ele-
vate and bring them to the ideal, as you
can a steam pump or gas engine. How
different is the human animal! Char-
acters differ as widely as the poles. If
we were all saints what a humdrum world
this would be. If there was no room
on top for the bright, industrious man
of integrity, there would be no ambition.
We must have the sloven as well as the
worker, sin as well as virtue, sorrow as
well as joy, pain as well as pleasure,
and if we were all ideal, the world of
men and women would vanish. Next
year 's essay on ' * The Ideal Employer ' '
will be worth a long journey to hear,
especially if assigned to the Reverend
Dr. Carmody. The employer is in a
higher position than the employe and
his responsibilities are far greater and
his influence toward a good understand-
ing between himself and employe rests
mostly on employer.

That story of Mr. O'Mara's illustrat-
ing the speed of the Chicago business
man must be heard to be relished. "Go
slowly," said the slowly swinging pen-
dulum of the south. "Plenty of time,"
spoke the shorter pendulum further
north, but the lively timepiece of Chi-
cago said, "Get there, get there, get
there, get there," at 300 beats to the
minute.

Friday morning exercises were very
pleasant and the talks by so-called for-
eigners were highly interesting. Mr.
Brown, of London, over on the banks of
the Clyde, was inspiring and his style of
man is raising our profession to a higher
plane. The gentleman from Winnipeg
told us how in a few years a flat, tree-
less prairie with less than three feet ele-
vation in five miles has now picturesque
parks, shaded streets and all that makes
our older cities such pleasant places in
which to dwell. I don't like to hear men
who hold their knife and fork as we do,
and speak the same language, be called
foreigners. I would like to say, as did
the immortal Tom Paine, "The world is
my country and humanity my religion."

Mr. Carmody presented the remem-
brance of the society to the president
in his matchless method. No one can

CONVENTION IMPRESSIONS.

The Review has already j^ivon so coin-
l^lete an account of the St. Lnnis conven-
tion tliat little can be achied. Yet a
few impressions, 1 trust, will not be un-
welcome. Wliat little we have to say
about it will be suit't^^^ by sincerity and
no bouquet throwing or "taffy" will be
indulged in. Compliments and pleasant
words are easy to express, and a mninal
])leasure to all, but misleading to the ab-
sent ones.

The hall where the ceremonies took
place was one of the best the society has
ever met in; a spacious stage, linely (h'C-
orated and a seating capacity for an
audience that would have held four
times the number of florists that entered
its doors. We did not admire that prim-
itive j)ul|nt-like erection that allowed
only a view of I'resident Breitim'vcr 's
head and neck and obscured his portly
figure.

The short address of welcome from
Mr. Walbridge was elo(iuent. The faet
that ^Ir. Walbridge is president of tiie
Business Men's Ijeaguo of 8t. L(niis, and
likely some day to be Missouri's gov-
ernor, has tauglit him the value of time
and that " lirevity is the soul of wit."
The rejily by the society's orator, h'ob-
ert Craig, was eloquent in voice, sentiment
.and facts, and all honor to l\oliert for
coming out flat footed in his regiet iliat
nrn.ami'ntal horticulture was so mcagi riy
represented at the World's fair. And
\\hile on that subject, could not one mil-
lion of the nn)ney spent have been taken
frnm those stupendous buildings and <U'-
\iited to trees and shrubs tn relieve tlif
monotonv of those many miles of pl.-ister
walls?

The president's address was, we think,
the imist complete and piactical of any
in the histoi'y of (nir society, and it is
evident that no jtresident has ever taken
a greater interest or held a tmoe earnist
desire to see the society ad\ance in tlie

streiuious effort to raise his voice s(j that
all coidd hear him, and succeeded, whicii
is more than can be said of seseral ex-
pr»'sidents.

We think, on the wliole, the essays,
discussions ami debates on se\eral ques-
tions were above the average of the past.
How dilHcult it is now to rake up a
sul)ject that is strictly floriculture, ^\■hen
the society was young, there was an
abuudam-e of practical subjects which
we were all glad to hear discoursed upon.
They have been about all viMitiiated an<l
thrasiied out, yet that paper by Mr. Peter-
son will be found most \aluable ;ind a
guide to many.

Nothing was finer than Mr. Petti-
gi'ew 's essay on the influence .Mnd ben-
efits of our ))ublic parks. The cheapi'st.
yet best anci most glnrjnus iii\estinent
foi'ji city of any size, is its pidilic
parks. They lia\e a greater inliuerice
for good than a church nf any denomi-
nation. Pet us have more p.-irks and wt!
shall need less police.

1']. (!. Hill's i^aper on "An American
Type of Poses" was worthy of tlie
man. and that's saying enough. And
the questimis fired :it him showed an in-
terest in this great subject. Mr. Hill is
an explorer in American hoiticulture. an
American Vilmorin, and that grey head
of his does a lot of thinking.

We gieatly enjoyed .Mr. Vaughan 's
idea of the ** Ideal Ktuploye. '' It was
li\(ly .-ind nnist attractively deliveri'd and
his \eision of an ideal em|doye is gicitly
to be desired, for he certainly would lie

raise the emotions finer than the man
from Posie county, and if Mr, Breit-
meyer had thanked us in flowing lan-
guage, we should not have believed it
had touched his heart. His heart was in
his throat. He almost choked, uttered a
few words of gratitude and subsided and
we truly believe never was his heart
fuller than at that mofnent, except per-
haps at that hushed time a few years
back when the present Mrs. Breitmeyer
fell on his manly chest and lisped in ac-
cents low and sweet, * * Phil, I am yours. ' '
Pull down the curtain, only a few of us
have that experience more than once.

The election was lively and a friendly
contest does no harm. It brings out the
attendance and there is enough of the
old Adam left in all of us to enjoy com-
petition. For president and secretary it
was by no means a walkover. The sharp
and close election for secretary was a
shake-up and the waves caused by the
eruption will flow outwards and have
their beneficial effect. No one's face
was more radiant after the election than
broad-minded John F. Sullivan. The so-
ciety honored itself in the re-election of
Mr. Beatty and the Washington boys did
nobly in selecting sturdy, manly J. R.
Freeman.

The sporting element was conspicuous
throughout, but interfered not in the
slightest with the legitimate business of
the convention and to get a good crowd
together is as much an essential as any
part of the performance. Many good
fellows are enthusiasts at bowling, but
there are two men indispensable to make
it good and jolly, viz., John Westcott
and Phil Hauswirth. The latter 's serv-
ice to the Bowling League was most
properly acknowledged and if utter ex-
haustion did follow his all-day exertions
on Wednesday, he came up as bright as
the evening star by Friday morning. As
for John, of Philadelphia, his delight is
to see others enjoy the game and have a
good time generally.

cup are in their keeping for the year.
Let them pat them and kiss them and
fondle them, for at Washington next
August they will be sorrowfully com-
pelled to say, "Bye-bye, you beauties."

Age does not interfere with the art of
bowling, as is proved by the presence of
a China clock just arrived from St. Louis
and now situated near our front door,
too handy, rather, for "the missus" to
see the time of night as she opens the
door for us. All will return home with
pleasant recollections of the bowling
tournament and many with something
more substantial than memories.

The shooting was ably conducted by
Mr. Tesson. Unfortunately a Chicago
gentleman had so many pleasant things
to say to us at the hotel after the busi-
ness session, we could not get to the
shooting either in time or condition.

Mr. Altick again demonstrated that
he is not only a first-class member of the
more serious side of our meetings but
can shoot like a Boer.

Our opinion is that the attendance at
the convention and at the opening ses-
sion, as well as the other meetings, was
not equal to several conventions which we
could mention. Many eastern faces were
missing. Fear of oppressive heat and
tTie intention to ' visit the World 's Fair
in October or November were the prin-
cipal causes.

The trade exhibit has also been larger
on previous occasions, yet it was large,
well managed and all in order at an early
hour. Every requisite of our business
was well represented. I am going to take
the liberty to mention but a few. There
were splendid assortments of palms from
Philadelphia, ribbons in color and tex-
ture that would charm a grass widow,
bulbs from everywhere, baskets that
were charming, bells that were beauties
and a host of other plants, requisites,
vases, boilers, model greenhouses, etc.

Three ferns deserve especial mention,
for ferns now enter largely into our

Building Material Exhibits at the St. Louis Convention*

How good of Philadelphia, Buffalo,
St. Louis, New York, Cleveland and the
other cities to either send their we^ikest
team or no team at all and let Chicago
have the principal prizes. They -have
struggled hard for ten years and ■ have
landed at last. The magnificent Kasting
challenge trophy and the splendid Beatty

business. Adiantum Croweanum was
shown by W. F. Kasting. For cut
fronds this must be the adiantum of the
future. Distinct from all of its type,
its length of stem, size of frond and
keeping -qnalities leave it without a rival.
The Ta^rytown fern, a sport of Piersoni,
is quite distinct from the former. What-

ever its commercial value may be, we can-
not foretell, but for a beautiful speci-
men, where ferns are admired, this will
take a foremost seat. It can be classed
as a filmy fern, as beautiful as the fa-
mous Killarney fern.

And lastly, but not leastly, we come
to that really wonderful display of
Nephrolepis Scottii, from John Scott,
of Brooklyn. Of the many forms of N.
exaltata this has every promise of su-
perseding the good old Boston form.
Just as graceful, but more dense in
growth, marvelously quick to make a fine
plant and yet a small plant in a 3-inch
pot is a specimen. We think it by far
the most valuable commercial fern that
has appeared since the advent of the
Boston variety.

That visit to the Missouri Botanic Gar-
den and the courtesy extended to us by
Prof. Trelease was most enjoyable and
we hope all intelligent visitors to the
World's Fair will not miss Shaw's Gar-
den and see how horticulture should be
carried out in its ornamental direction.

We did not take in the world 's largest
brewery. Don't care for such things,
yet saw many take the cars for that
mammoth irrigation plant and must
vouch for the fact that on their return
there was little alteration in color of
countenance or demeanor.

The World's Fair, brother florists who
did not see it, is stupendous. It seems
impossible that any bigger or grander
can be conceived or carried out by man
and if it could be bigger, it is certainly
not desirable. Everyone goes there more
or less interested in his own particular
line or fancy, some to study art or
architecture, some to look mostly at clocks
or carpets, others to look at engines of
power or destruction. Florists go there
to admire ornamental gardening, and
that is the weakest part of this marvel-
ous show. The sunken gardens are beau-
tiful, particularly when not too closely
inspected. The stiff little edge of Afri-
can tamarix surrounding each bed is
new, unique and excellent in effect. It
outlines the designs admirably. The
sloping lawn and flower gardening fall-
ing away from the summit of the cas-
cades is grand, and who on earth, at
this day or any other, has ever seen such
an imposing or magnificent sight as these
cascades. The long rows of fine maple
trees on each side of the central lagoon
is a mistake. They largely obscure from
sight the splendors of the cascades. If
they were removed to the grass borders
near the gigantic buildings they would
give a clear view of the crowning glory
of the exposition and much improve the
buildings.

The bare white walls of these many
twenty-acre buildings tire you, unre-
lieved as they are without a leaf of green-
ery of any kind. Frederic W. Taylor,
chief of agriculture and horticulture, has
filled his gigantic buildings splendidly
with the products of farm and orchard.
The ornamental division of horticulture,
in charge of Mr. Hadkinson, superintend-
ent of floriculture, had crushing ob-
stacles to overcome, but he has mastered
them and the surroundings of the Agri-
culture and Horticulture buildings are
now brilliant with cannas and other sum-
mer bedding plants. Stupendous as is
the extent of the fair and its still more
manrelous buildings, there is an impres-
sion forced on you that if it were half
the size it would be far more beautiful,
or could be made so. Go and see it. It
is wonderful, even if it is overgrown.

Let us all busy ourselves to get that

sum of $10,000 together to perpetuate
the care of the ground surrounding the
monument of Wm. McKinley. It's a
chance that many a trade or profession
would be glad of. It was eloquently set
forth by Mr, Altick, of Dayton. It takes
but a trifle from each and we shall ever
be remembered.

In conclusion, Mr. Editor, I have tried
to be serious in these rambling notes,
although there were plenty of jokes, anec-
dotes and laughable incidents in the
course of this enjoyable convention. There
is only one I remember at this moment,
and it illustrates the necessity of a
knowledge of church etiquette. It ap-
pears that Mr. Eingier, of Chicago, with
a friend, having no other place to go
Sunday before the convention, entered
an Episcopal church. A vestryman
handed him a beautifully bound prayer
book. Mr. E. thanked him and put it in
his pocket, and the same afternoon dis-
patched it to Chicago as a souvenir of
St. Louis to his wife. Later he was no-
tified that the good book was only for
his use during service. The book was re-
turned from Chicago and all is well.

St. Louis boys one and all without dis-
tinction, you worked hard. You did well
and succeeded in making the convention
one long to be remembered with pleas-
ure. We thank you all.

William Scott.

CONVENTION NOTES.

In his address President Breitmeyer
deplored the fact that discussion had
been more and more limited at recent
conventions. It must have been a pleas-
ure to him that the debates on the af-
fairs of the society and the discussions
on the essays were never more animated
than at St. Louis. Little was left to
be desired in this direction.

The heavy rains were too much for the
roof of the exhibition hall. The leaks
did considerable damage to S. S. Pen-
nock's ribbon display.

Souvenirs were plentiful. Pennock dis-
tributed pencils, Mjoninger had match
safes. Herenden paper weights, Eeed &
Keller a card with a girl dressed in a
skirt like a folding Christmas bell, and
there were many more.

G. M. Kellogg said that tobacco stems
are hard to get since the trust bought up
all the cigar shops and he put a question
in the box as to the best substitute for use
in fumigating. Several members related
varying experiences in the use of nico-
tine extracts and J. T. D. Fulmer said
that the tops of cannas cut off in the fall
and dried had proved a satisfactory fu-
migant.

Albert M. Herr noted the absence of
those recognized as carnation growers
and put this question in the box:
"Would it be advisable to change the
date of meeting to suit the convenience
of carnation growers, August being one
of their busiest months!" Opinion was
unanimous that it wouldn't.

The inscription under the group photo-
graph in last week's issue, "The Men
Who Made the Convention," was a typo-
graphical error. It should have been
"The Men Who Made the Exhibition,"
but it wasn't so far wrong, after all,
considering the important factor the
trade display has been in recent years.

Among the cannas at the World's
Fair, Jean Tissot, exhibited by Henry A.
Dreer, Philadelphia, attracts instant at-
tention. It is a dark foliaged sort, of
rather less than medium height, the flow-
er of a brilliant scarlet crimson, and

habit excellent. It seems to be a real
advance in this important class.

In the Horticulture building at the
Fair the only important cut flower dis-
play during convention week was that of
Arthur Cowee, Berlin, N. Y., whose col-
lection of gladioli was a revelation to the
visitors.

The St. Louis florists are entitled to
much credit for the admirable arrange-
mants made for the meeting and the com-
fort of the visitors. The only St. Louis-
an who failed to do his duty was the
weather man.

The convention souvenir, prepared un-
der the direction of J. J. Beneke, was a
remarkably handsome example of fine
printing as well as a compendium of use-
ful information.

The glass mending device shown by
the C. C. PoUworth Co. promises to be
useful. They have patented it.

Nearly all the exhibits were sold to
local florists.

HAIL ASSOCIATION.

At a meeting of the directors of the
Florists' Hail Association at St. Louis
last week, E. G. Hill, Bichmond, Ind.,
was elected president, H. H. Bitter vice-
president. J. G. Esler secretary and A.
M. Hcrr treasurer. The directors elected
were J. T. Temple, J. F. Wilcox and
J. C. Vaughan.

JOSEPH R. FREEMAN.

Joseph B. Freeman, of Washington
D. C, arrived in America July 28, 1868
after nearly five years of apprentice
ship under the celebrated Michael Saul
fruit specialist and writer for Gar
deners' Chronicle, of London, England
He at once took charge as greenhouse
foreman at the establishment of the late
John Saul, where he stayed until Sep-
tember, 1872. He was then at the
U. S. Agricultural Department for about
two years, superintendent of the beauti-
ful Oak Hill cemetery for a term of
years, under the late W. H. Saunders,
and late of Bonnie Brae cemetery, in
Baltimore County. Maryland, leaving the
latter place in 1880 to start in business
in Washington, D. C, where he is now
located. He has quite extensive green-
houses, where both plants and cut flow-

ers are grown, and conducts a retail cut
flower and plant business at 612 Thir-
teenth street N. W., where many florists
who attended the Washington conven-
tion of the S. A. F. had the pleasure of
seeing him, and no doubt carried with
them pleasant recollections of their
visits. Mr. Freeman is now 54 years of
age and is still able to put characteris-
tic energy into anything he undertakes,
is well known by the general public in
his adopted city and is particularly
proud of the good will of the members
of the Washington Florists' Club, whose
president he has been for two terms. He
is naturally averse to office-holding and
needed some persuasion to allow his
name to be used at St. Louis, where he
was elected vice-president of the S. A. F.

MUNICIPAL IMPROVEMENT.

BY JOHN A. PETTIGRKW, BOSTON, MASS.

[Rend before the Society of Americaa Florists
at St. Louis, August 18, 1904.]

Looking at Central park, New York,
as it is today, and taking into consider-
ation the fact that the first steps to con-
demn the land for park purposes were
taken in 1853, we cannot fail to be im-
pressed with the immense advantage
that has accrued to the city in the short
space of fifty-one years, and with the
truth that horticulture plays a very im-
portant part in the civic economy of the
United States.

In 1882^ the New York Park Associa-
tion (formed because of the apathy of
New York in a work of such impor-
tance) appointed a committee to en-
deavor to secure an extension of New
York's park area. This committee pub-
lished a report showing the immense
pecuniary returns to the city in twenty-
five years by the construction of Central
park. To quote from the report:

Parks Affect Values.

tenance, and 120.75.1.925 for twenty-five years'
Interest on the Park Assessment and Improve-
inent Bonds, making a total cost of $4.'?.794,150.
I^arpe as this amount appears and undoubtedly
is. it Is comparatively inslgnlflcnnt In view of
the enormous benefit which resulted financially
to the city from the Improvement. The amount
collected in twenty-flve years on the property
of the three wards named (the wards con-
tiguous to Central park) over and above tbe

ordinary increase on tlie tax value of real
estate In the rest of the city, was 165,000,000,
or about $21,000,000 more than the aggregate
expense attending and following the establish-
ment of the park up to the present year. Re-
garding the whole transaction in the light of a
real estate speculation alone, the city has $21,-
000,000 In cash over and above the outlay, and
acquired In addition thereto, land valued at
$200,000,000,

The above statement shows the influ-
ence Central park had on the value of
contiguous property up to 1881. The
enormous value of the same property at
the present day, in comparison with real
estate further removed from Central
park, shows the continued influence of
public parks on the value of adjoining
property. Quoting again from the New
York Park Association report:

The case of Chicago presents still stronger
and more conclusive testimony. In a letter to
the secretary of the New York Park Association,
Mr. W. H. Harmon, secretary of the Chicago
park department, responds as follows to a ques-
tion as to what has been the effect of parks
upon the value of adjacent land: "The Immedi-
ate effect was to double and quadruple prop-
erty."

That the establishment of park areas
has invariably enhanced the real estate
value of contiguous property has been
the experience also of other cities. The
commissioners of the Boston park de-
partment, in their report for the year
1896, page 63, referring to the increased
value of lands surrounding park areas,
say:

with regard to the Influence of public parka
on the neighboring real estate, no recent figures
have been made. In 1890 the board published
a statement of the Increase In value of the
Back Bay lands since the establishment of the
park. By this table it will be found that the
land alone was trebled in value In thirteen
years, while the valuation of land in the rest
of the city during the same period Increased
only 18 per cent. The increased taxes on this
land, without Including the buildings erected,
aggregated over $2,000,000 — a sum more than
sufficient to pay the entire cost of the Improve-
ment at that time. The Increased taxes on
new buildings erected on these lands yielded
$1,500,000 more of revenue. While the Increase
In the value of the lands adjoining other parks
of tbe city has not shown a like phenomenal
growth, present indications point to a largely
increased revenue from this cause in the future,
which may Justify the opinion expressed in
the earliest report of the board that the estab-
lishment of public parks will have the tendency
to lessen the rate of taxation Instead of In-
creasing It. The cost of the land taken for
the Back Bay Fens averaged about 12 cents per
foot; the cost of improving the site brings the
present cost of the land up to 52 cents per
square foot, while the adjoining land is selling
at $3 to $5 per foot, although the growth of
the city has not as yet brought very much of It
Into the market. The cost of Franklin park
land averaged about 7 cents per foot and the
cost of Improvement about an equal amount, or
a total of 15 cents per foot, which is a moder-
ate valuation for this magnificent property,
where land adjoining will bring from 50 cents
to $1 per foot. The same result is shown in
the case of the whole park system, the average
cost of which today is only 6 cents per foot for
the land and about 8 cents per foot for improve-
ments.

This experience, which was common
to all cities in which parks had been
constructed, accentuated the park move-
ment until we find that up to the year
1901 (according to the report of the
park census committee of the Park and
Outdoor Art Association) there were
purchased, or otherwise acquired, and
dedicated to public use approximately
75,000 acres of land, apart from United
States government reservations, and that
approximately there are being spent an-
nually, in the towns and cities of the
United States $11,000,000 for park im-
provement and maintenance.

Motives of Promoters.

Various motives have governed the
promoters of the park movement, but
the prevailing motive was primarily to
introduce rural landscapes into cities and
towns. When cities were not so large
or so densely populated they were more
rural in character, and satisfied public
requirements in this respect; but, as

population increased, the villas and cot-
tages, with their accompanying grounds
and gardens, gave place to bricks and
mortar piled up in closely-built blocks,
and the woods and fields, so eagerly
yearned for by the city dwellers, became
more and more remote with each year.
The park movement, therefore, was born
of necessity; the physical well-being,
comfort and health of the public de-
manded that open spaces should be pro-
vided convenient for public use.

Horticulture, too, is one of the most
important factors in street adornment.
Imagine the effect of the removal of the
trees from an old-fashioned village
street. How unpicturesque would be-
come the irregularly placed houses! How
uninviting and inhospitable would be the
home yard without the old-fashioned
flowers bordering the walk, or without
the vines over the porch door and the
overhanging branches of the shade trees
nearby! The early settlers in the east-
ern states recognized this fact, and, in-
variably, after finishing the building of
their houses, no matter how unpreten-
tious the houses were, planted trees in
the street or road in front, and, if
means allowed, extended the planting to
the boundaries of their estates. To these
early settlers the wayfarer of the pres-
ent day is indebted for the grand old
elms which are to be found in the New
England towns and villages. Ancient
clumps of the common lilac, eglantine or
bouncing bet, planted by the same hands,
add an interest to many an old home-
stead.

Desirability of Tree Planting.

The desirability of tree planting in
streets is so great that it may be classed
as one of the most important of civic
duties. Nothing impresses the visitor in
a city more than the air of comfort ap-
parent in well-planted streets. It mat-
ters little how imposing or ambitious the
architecture on a street may be, unless
its lines are softened by the foliage of
trees and vines, it seems devoid of
artistic taste, and is barren and inhos-
pitable to the eye. On the contrary, a
street may be humble in its architectural
pretentions, yet, if clothed with foliage,
every dwelling seems framed in content-
ment and restful peace.

Trees also ameliorate the heated con-
ditions of summer temperature, not only
by the grateful shade they afford the
city dweller, but also by the large
amount of moisture they draw from the
ground and evaporate into the atmos-
phere. They are also good sanitary
agents. They absorb stagnant water
through their roots, and exhale from
their leaves life-giving oxygen. The
value of trees from a sanitary point of
view is illustrated by the action of the
New York Medical Society, which passed
the resolution "That one of the most
effective means for mitigating the in-
tense heat of the summer months and
diminishing the death rate among chil-
dren is the cultivation of an adequate
number of trees in the streets. ' ' This
is further emphasized by the fact that
the bill presented to the legislature of
New York, asking that the street trees
of New York be placed in the care of the
park commissioners, was drawn by a
physician, a member of the State Board
of Health, and was introduced merely as
a sanitary measure.

Trees, too, have an educational value,
not only as object lessons close at hand
for nature study, but also by instilling
into the youthful mind an early love for
the beautiful in nature. For the great

majority of city dwellers, and for the
greater part of their lives, the street
trees are the only bits of sylvan beauty
available for them to enjoy; the parks,
or tiie country, usually are not conveni-
ent for a visit oftener than once a week
at most.

For these reasons, beneficial as are
parks for the people, it would seem to
be of infinitely more importance to the
well-being of dwellers in large cities and
towns were it imposed as a civic obliga-
tion that, wherever possible, streets
should be planted with trees, and their
maintenance provided for; and, further,
that, in the laying out of new streets, a
suitable space be set apart for the
growth of trees. The question of cost
of so beautifying the streets is insignifi-
cant as compared with the benefits
gained. Trees are endowed with a good
deal of hardihood, as is evident in the
streets of our cities. Year after year
they put forth their leaves, in spite of
the gnawing of horses, the rarvages of
insects and the mutilation of their roots
and branches; their wants are simple
and can be inexpensively satisfied.

Even from a financial point of view,
the systematic planting and care of trees
in city streets would prove a paying in-
vestment. Newcomers are not attracted
to a city by garish, shadeless streets any
more than they are by dirty or poorly
paved streets, unsanitary conditions, or
any other form of slovenly civic house-
keeping.

Within the past few years various
methods have been employed to induce
street planting. Societies and clubs, by
example and advice, have done much
good. In a few cities the work has been
placed in charge of the government. No-
where, however, has the importance of
the subject been thoroughly grasped, ex-
cept, probably, in the city of Washing-
ton, where a systematic plan of street
planting was adopted about thirty years
ago, and the result for good is very
apparent today.

It is quite evident that a work of this
kind should not be left, in its execution,
to the fancy of the individual resident.
The average citizen usually is entirely
ignorant of tree planting culture, or the
kinds of trees that should be used, the
result in a street planted by individual
effort being, as Professor Waugh, of
Amherst College, aptly puts it "like
two rows of odd buttons down the front
of a frock coat."

The requirements for properly plant-
ing a street, are, the furnishing of
proper conditions in soil and location for
growth, harmony in effect and the pro-
viding of means for doing the work and
for subsequent care. These require-
ments could be most eflSciently controlled
by the central government, aided by
competent executive officers.

Planting School Grotinds.

It is pleasing to note that an interest
is developing in the planting of school-
house grounds. In the town of Brook-
line, Mass., beautiful effects have been
produced by the planting of masses of
shrubbery against the boundary fences
of the school yards, and at the fronts of
the buildings, the open spaces being
turfed. Trees have also been planted to
shade the sidewalks, and creepers planted
against the walls of the school buildings.
Due regard has been paid, also, to space
for playground requirements. The city
of Boston, also, during the past season,
planted trees and shrubbery in the
grounds of seven of its new schools.

This is a step in the right direction, and
is a striiing contrast to the uninviting
exteriors of the generality of the old
school buildings. Pupils of the schools
60 adorned cannot but be benefited by
the influence of nature so attractively
and constantly set before their eyes. Now
that nature studies have become a part
of the curriculum of almost every school,
the planting of trees, shrubs and flowers
in the school grounds gives material
close at hand for practical demonstra-
tions, and for identification and botan-
ical study; but, pre-eminently, calling in
the aid of horticulture makes the school-
house and grounds homelike and attract-
ive, awakening in the children an inter-
est in nature at a time when the mind is
receptive of artistic influences.

Realizing the importance of horticul-
ture in its relation to the education of
children, the Civic League of Boston,
three years ago, appointed a committee
to establish school gardens. The work
has proved interesting and successful,
the children striving to outdo each other
in the care of their plots.

On Home Grounds.

Horticulture should have an important
part in the home life. In England, the
cultivation of flowers is almost universal
among the cottagers. Little unkempt or
waste land is found there around the
homes of the working people. Vege-
tables, flowers and shrubs are planted,
and the workman hurries from his daily
employment to his labor of love, the
garden. Houses are often embowered
in roses or other climbing plants, which
contribute greatly to the charming effect
of English villages, often noted by trav-
elers. It is to be regretted that such

enthusiasm in the cultivation of home
gardens does not obtain here. The work
of improvement associations and kindred
societies, however, is doing much to
arouse interest in this direction, and it
is to be hoped that the day is not far
distant when every occupier of a house
will plant and beautify the grounds..
There is no home so humble but can be
made more cheerful by the cultivation
of a few plants. A window-box of nas-
turtiums, if nothing else, on the outside,
has its influence for good on the dweller
in the tenement. Nowhere do flowers
grow so near the heart as at home, and
how many men and women carry with
them through life the refining influences
of the flowers, which, in their youth,
beautified the home garden!

Boston's Playgrounds.

A natural step following the establish-
ment of parks in cities was the setting
apart of playground areas. While play-
grounds were to be found in most of the
large parks, it was found that, in parks
of small size, ornamental planting and
ball playing did not consort well to-
gether. Large parks were few and far
between. The growth of the city cov-
ered, year by year, the vacant ground
hitherto available for play. It became,
therefore, necessary that playgrounds
should be provided for boys and young
men. In the last few years this move-
ment has been very active. Boston, out-
side of its larger parks, has twenty-one
playgrounds in use under the control of
the park department. These playgrounds
range from one-half of an acre to sev-
enty-four acres. Many of these play-
grounds contain comers for children,
where apparatus is provided for their

use and where female teachers are in
charge. In 'one of the playgrounds the
Civic League has introduced children's
gardens with great success. The gardens
are on the tree border, which surrounds
two sides of the playground, and are
fenced off from the general playground
and flying balls by high, woven, wire
fencing. A low fence is on the street
side. The gardens are about eight feet
by three feet, and number about 200.
Great interest is manifested by the
children in their little plots, and large
quantities of flowers and vegetables are
raised, under the direction of teachers,
by the little gardeners, who are proud
to be able to take home substantial evi-
dences of their skill and industry. As
an instance of the success of the scheme
it may be mentioned that 880 ears of
sweet corn have been gathered to date,
this season. This playground is in a
thickly populated district which the
police department maintains has been
much benefited by its establishment.
So far as is practicable, without inter-
fering with their use for play, all Bos-
ton's playgrounds are ornamented with
trees, and, in some cases, with shrub-
bery. One of Cambridge's largest play-
grounds is beautifully bordered with
masses of trees and shrubbery.

Thus we see that horticulture occupies
an important position in city and home
life. Its possibilities of larger adapta-
tion and development are very great in
its relation to the health, comfort and
general well-being of the people, espe-
cially, as said before, in its application
to street adornment; and no more im-
portant field of labor can be found ^or
this society than to use its influence
energetically for the provision for trees
in the streets and waysides. This work
is entirely within the scope of the soci-
ety's aims. It is one covering the inter-
ests of humanity in general, and is well
worthy of the best efforts of the society
toward its accomplishment.

ROSES.

Training, Disbudding and Cultivating.

The work mostly needing attend-
ing to during the next week or two will
be training, disbuduing and cultivating.
At this season, when the plants should
be growing vigorously, there should be
no delay or neglect in this work.

By keeping the shoots in proper posi-
tion, syringing can be more effectively
done and freer circulation of air among
the leaves can be obtained, while if the
shoots are left to trail on the ground they
will, by reason of the exclusion of light
and sunshine, be sure to make weak eyes,
which will make weak, strawy wood,
which, in turn, will form eyes from
which nothing can be expected but blind
wood.

This is especially the case with such
varieties as Bride and Bridesmaid and
will eventually necessitate a cutting or
thinning out of such rubbish, whereas,
by careful training every leaf can be
preserved and made to perform its part
in the encouragement of more vigorous
root action, development and maturing
of eyes fit to produce strong flov^er bear-
ing stems.

Some varieties, such as Liberty and
Kaiserin, which have a tendency to pro-
duce strong canes and a consequent small-
er crop of side wood, do not require
so much attention and care in this re-
spect, while such varieties as Golden Gate
and Ivory, which in their earlier stages

6S6

The Weekly Florists' Review. '

August 25, 1904.

naturally incline to the production of
heavy crops of small wood, should have a
judicious thinning out as soon as the
stronger canes begin to appear, thus af-
fording a greater amount of sunlight and
a freer circulation of air to strengthen
the stems and develop the flower buds.

Those plants which are bearing or are
in preparation for a first cut should have
the laterals removed while they are in a
soft state, as, if they are allowed to re-
main on the stem until they become hard
and require a knife for their removal,
they will by that time have used so much
of the nutriment which ought to have
been diverted to the bud that the flow-
ers will be likely to be either small,
crippled or off-color, while the stem will
have lost its symmetry and gracefulness.

Varieties like Meteor and Kaiserin,
which are inclined to produce their flow-
ers in clusters of three or more, should
have the smaller buds removed so that

the strength of the stem may be con-
centrated in the remaining bud. Perle,
which also has this tendency, requires
more judicious handling, it being often
necessary, where the plants are extra
strong, to remove the crown bud and al-
low one of the lateral buds to develop in
order to prevent a crop of bull-heads, it
being sometimes even profitable to
shorten the stronger canes by at least
one-third when this tendency is very de-
cided.

Beauties, by reason of their quick, suc-
culent growth and heavy foliage, which
if left uncared for in respect to train-
ing are more likely to suffer from the
force of the syringe than the smaller
kinds of roses, should receive particular
care, for if unsupported it is very diffi-
cult to get the spray of water to touch
the under sides of the leaves and that
is just where the spider chooses to make
his abode. Kibes.

FEEDING.

The early planted stock is now in a
condition where a judicious use of stim-
ulant in a liquid form is of great ben-
efit. Weak doses should, of course, be
given at first, until th^ plants are used
to it, and, while it may take more time,
it will be found that several weak appli-
cations are far to be preferred to one
strong one. A strong solution of any
fertilizer, particularly the chemical salts,
will destroy the delicate root hairs of the
plant and before new ones can form the
benefit that should have been derived
from that application is largely lost. We
must always remember that any nourish-
ment applied to a plant must be assimi-
lated through these minute rootlets before
it can benefit the plant and, such being
the case, the importance of preserving
every root intact is evident.

Liquid fertilizer made from the excre-
ment of cows or sheep I always consid-
ered of most value for feeding chrysan-
themums. These may be most easily
prepared by soaking in a barrel of water,
putting the manure into a sack for the
purpose of keeping the liquid free from
lumps, which would otherwise clog up
the can or hose in watering. We like
to draw the liquid out of the barrel with
a Kinney pump; then, while it may be
very strong in the barrel, it will be well

diluted after passing through the pump.

Soot water is an excellent stimulant.
Soot may be scattered on the soil and
watered in, or placed in a sack and
soaked in water. Its effect will be no-
ticed on the foliage in a few days, as
it imparts a dark, healthy gloss to the
leaves. Many of the famous exhibitors
use Clay's fertilizer and ichthemic guano
but they are rather too expensive for gen-
eral use, though their great value has
been repeatedly proven.

In chemical fertilizers, nitrate of soda
is perhaps most generally used, though
my own experience prompts me to recom-
mend sulphate of ammonia in preference
to it. Nitrate of potash is also quite
largely used and, as this is supposed to
supply both nitrogen and potash, it is
of most value. Nitrate of potash gives
a wonderful size and color to the foliage
and stiffens the stems, but all these
chemicals, unless used with discretion,
tend to make the flower soft and flabby.
A safe application to use on the plants,
is at the rate of one ounce of chemical
to four gallons of water, using it a little
weaker than that for a first dose and
gradually increasing in strength. The
chrysanthemum is a gross feeder and will
stand more feeding than any plant I
know of. provided it is done at the proper
time, which is when "the soil is full of
roots.

But a word of caution must be given.
If I could give the reader an exact for-
mula and tell him just how and when
to apply it, all would be plain sailing,
but this is impossible, as so many things
have to be considered. If the plants are
generally soft, quick grown and lacking
in what I will for want of a better word
call "stamina," they will not stand
nearly so much feeding as harder, more
solid growth. Where the stem of the
plant is losing its green look, and bark
is forming, with a close-jointed, firm
growth all through the bed, it may be
assumed that those plants will stand feed-
ing and lots of it at this time. If the
foliage is very brittle, black green in
color and curling up, the plants are get-
ting more food than they can assimilate
and feeding should be very light or dis-
continued altogether for a time.

Personal experience is the best guide,
in fact, the only guide a man can safely
follow in feeding his plants. When the
buds are swelling up and you find here
and there through the bench a bud that
looks as though it has been severed half
way through the stem with a knife, it is
a danger signal to stop feeding. This
beheading of the bud is caused by the
fact that the roots are pumping up more
food than the bud can use and nature
^teps in and by this method cuts off
some of the supply. This trouble never
occurs when the later September bud is
taken, but is by no means unusual when
an August crown bud is used.

Plants in pots or boxes will stand much
more feeding than plants in a bench be-
cause their root area is restricted and
there is much less soil for the plant to
feed on. Use common sense and if you
err at all it is better to err on the side
of underfeeding. You will then at least
have the satisfaction of not having your
flowers spoiled and useless.

by the use of tie rods and turn buckles.
The supports are placed on cement foun-
dations and for durability and strength
are beyond question. The drainage sys-
tem, which is covered by patents grant-
ed to R.. W. King, is the most perfect
in existence and is carefully guarded by
the company. The ventilating system
possesses all the latest improvements, in-
cluding the patent spring connections
which entirely do away with the strain-

The plant will be heated by steam and
will embrace some of the newest features
in that science. The boilers are being
installed with a view to using the auto-
matic stokers and will be fitted with the
latest designs for economizing fuel.

The benches are built of cement with
tile bottoms and are practically inde-
structible. Twelve of the houses are
planted to roses, which will be made a
specialty, the remainder being devoted
to carnations, lilies, etc.

The compapy has purchased sixty-two

of the many advantages to be derived
from soil, climate and shipping facili-

THE EXPERIENCE OF SIMON.

A Business Parody.

Simon was a simple, country lad, who
lived with his parents near the city of
X. When Simon was sixteen his family
moved to a small farm on which there
was a greenhouse. This greenhouse
Simon's father told his son should be
his to do with as he liked. Visions
of wealth floated through Simon's mind
and he went to work in earnest, spend-
ing all his spare time putting the house
in order, carpentering, glazing, painting
until all was in readiness for soil an«i
plants.

What to grow was now the question.
Simon subtjcribed to the Review and

consulted William Scott. That week the
great William was for mignonette. So
lucidly and glowingly was its culture de-
scribed that Simon at once decided that
he would grow mignonette, and nothing
but mignonette, in his new house. The
soil was wheeled into the ground bed,
the manure added, the seed purchased
and sown and in due time the young
plants appeared. Then came thinning,
pinching, supporting and feeding. Simon
must have had ability, for the first crop
in his little house was as pretty a sight
as one could wish to see. There were
between 500 and 600 great spikes of
bloom, all borne erect on straight, long
stems and not a poor flower among
them.

Simon again consulted the Review.
The price given in X for mignonette
was, ordinary, $1 to $2 per hundred;
fancy, $3 per hundred.

"Mine are fancies, and I shall have
$15 this week, when my first crop is
harvested," Simon thought.

That night at supper Simon asked
his father who would be the best florist
to see about his mignonettes.

"You might try Freddie Cattleya,"
his father said, "they say he's struck
a mine."

Simon did not know what a florist had
to do with a mine, but he called on Mr.
Cattleya after school next day.

Mr. Cattleya 's shop seemed to Simon
the most beautiful place he had ever
seen. It was dusk when he reached
there. The electric lights were reflected
and multiplied by the long mirrors on
every side, making the fine flowers that
stood in jars everywhere look most in-
viting. Simon was unhappily conscious
of dust on his shoes and looked about
for Mr. Cattleya. Everyone seemed to
be in a rush, making bouquets, filling
or taking oixt orders, and no one ap-
peared to pay any attention to Simon.
He was just thinking he had better
come another time when an attractive
young man came toward him quickly
with, "Well, my lad, do you want mef "
Simon mustered up courage and told Mr.

Cattleya, for it was he, about his 500
mignonette.

"Bring me a bunch tomorrow morn-
ing early; mind it be early," and with
a pink in his buttonhole Simon found
himself in the street so happy he scarce
knew how.

He was up at 5 o'clock the next morn-
ing, picked his bunch of twenty-five
mignonette and by 7 was at Mr. Cat-
tleya's shop. It was very quiet now.
Simon was directed to a back room
where Mr. Cattleya was giving orders to
several men. As soon as he saw Simon
he greeted him kindly and Simon pro-
duced his mignonette. Mr. Cattleya
asked the price.

Simon said it was 3 cents.

' ' It would be worth 3 cents, ' * Mr. Cat-
tleya said, "if the heads were all simi-
lar. This one is perfect, but this one,
and this one, have a little more green
than white and the bronze is irregular,
a serious defect." "Is not that true,
Peter?" "Yes, Mr. Cattleya."

Simon was dumbfounded; he thought
his mignonette was perfect and now he
saw his mistake. Simon was about to
roll up his mignonette and depart when
the pleasant-looking young man who had
been addressed as Peter offered him a
bright half-dollar, saying, ' ' Mr. Cattleya
will give you 2 cents for the bunch."

Simon clutched the half-dollar and
ran out precipitately. He reached
school in time, but he was floored in
every recitation. "His mignonette
was not even ; the coloring was irregular ;
it was 'ordinary.' " His pride was
hurt. That was the worst of it. The
fact that his hoped for $15 would be-
come only $10 was of secondary import-
ance.

At supper that night a friend of his
father's was telling of some flowers
he had bought that day, "I wanted a
fancy article and Freddie Cattleya
showed me a find, the best mignonette I
ever saw. Could only let me have a
dozen; they came pretty steep, too,"

"Was it your mignonette, Simon t"
his father asked.

AuausT 25, 1804.

"No, mine is only 'ordinary.' "

His food choked him and he went out.
But, being a brave lad, he determine* I
to have one more try. He knew a big
store in X where he would take his
mignonette.

The next morning Simon cut another
bunch, getting every flower with the
green and white even and bronze in
proper proportion. Perhaps Mr. Cattleya
was wrong; he would see.

Simon went to a great store on the
fashionable street of X, A magnificent
show window occupied the entire front.
Underneath was the name, "Rambler
Sisters, Florists." It was an old firm,
the founders having retired some time
since. On learning his business the
colored boy at the door told Simon to
go to the back entrance. He found a
young Mr. Earabler, a relative of the
founders, who received him kindly.

"Your mignonette is fine," he said.
"How much!"

Simon said it was worth 3 cents.

"We are not paying over 2 cents,"
Mr. Bambler said. "Can you give us
some at that price!"

Simon told him he would see, and
went out.

On the street a fakir offered him a
quarter for his bunch, which he had for-
gotten to wrap. Simon humbly accept-
ed the quarter. Mr. Cattleya was right,
hifl mignonette was "ordinary."

Simon slept badly that night. He was
up in the morning to air and water his
beloved mignonette. Just as he finished
a telegraph boy came into the green-

house. Simon had never received a tele-
gram in his life. He tore it open. It
read as follows:

"Send fifty mignonettes daily. — ^Bam-
bler Sisters."

Hardly had Simon read the slip when
a large, four-horse van drove up. It was
most striking in appearance. Across the
side in golden scrip was "Francis Fred-
erick Cattleya, Florist. Simple flowers
tastefully grouped."

A bright-looking boy in gray livery,
with "Cattleya" on his cap, jumped
down from beside the driver and present-
ed Simon with a letter. It was addressed
to Mr. Simon Mardner and read as fol-
lows:

"Dear Sir:— ^ive bearer 250 ipign-
onette. Eeserve the balance until next
week. Yours truly, F. F. Cattleya."

Simon was puzzled and stood staring
first at one boy and then at the other
for a full minute. Then a resohit^ look
came into his face as he pulled out his
knife and turned to his beloved mign-
onette.

But, putting his knife back into his
pocket, Simon dismissed both boys, one
bearing a telegram declining with regret,

CARNATION NOTES.— WEST.

Lieht, Air and Water.

After the plants have been in the house
five or six weeks and they have taken a
good hold of the soil, you should do all
you can to induce them to make a strong,
sturdy growth. For at least two months
yet we will have at our disposal an abund-
ance of the three elements which the car-
nation enjoys above all else. These three
are sunshine, fresh air and water. The
three go hand in hand. To deprive the
carnation plants of either will mean fail-
ure, which is only aggravated if the other
two be increased. "Where one of the three
is lacking the remaining two must be cur-
tailed in proportion, but when all three
are at hand in abundance it is difiScult to
overdo either one.

The one over which we have the least
control and the one that gives us the most
trouble is the sunshine. We can. most of
the time, control ventilation and we can
always control the supply of water. So
the growers' task is simply to regulate
the supply of water and ventilation ac-
cording to the amount of sunshine which
is to be had. While the days are warm
and bright there is no danger of too much
ventilation and the danger of overwater-
ing is slight, after the plants get into a
vigorous growth.

There should be no shade whatever on
the glass, else the growth will come soft,
which is a condition always to be avoid-
ed. When you water do it copiously and
then let the soil get into proper condition
before watering again. By stirring the
surface occasionally you can prevent the
soil from souring until the roots work
through it, after which time the danger
of souring is lessened. Keep the ven-
tilators up as high at night as you dare
leave them.

Don 't be in a hurry about the supports
unless the plants begin to lay over,
which should not be the case this early.
You will need to work between the plants
a good deal yet, stirring the soil, pulling
weeds and cleaning the plants. This can
not be done as handily after the supports
are put in place as before.

CARNATION NOTES.-EAST.

Seasonable Work.

The check received by the plants in
transplanting from field to house will
show its effect soon after growth is re-
sumed. Buds form before the shoots
have reached a desirable length and, if
allowed to develop, will only result in
imperfect flowers. This is more marked
in varieties impatient of disturbance at
the root, notably Lawson.

It is obvious that to let these buds
develop is not only a waste of energy

and more or less a drain on the re-
sources of the plant, but has a direct in-
fluence on the time of flowering later in
the season. Allow the buds to attain
fair size and then cut back as in the
field, but do not remove all from a plant
at one time. Go over the beds once or
twice weekly, taking off, at the most,
two of the largest buds from a plant,
making a clean cut with a sharp knife.
This topping at intervals reduces the
liability of check from removal of too
much foliage at once, and is a help in
preserving the continuous blooming prop-
erty.

Some varieties experience little check
in lifting, start off vigorously and pro-
duce a fair stem at the outset. These
may be allowed to flower as the market
may seen^ to warrant, although the low
price generally obtained is apt to lead
one to the opinion that disbudding thus
early is time thrown away, when in fact
for several reasons this operation should
be carried on at all times. But this
subject will be taken up in later notes.

Each grower must learn the needs of
his market, observe his plants closely
and decide for himself what varieties
give promise of substantial returns and
are likely to meet the demand. Queen
Louise for white and Nelson for pink
are two good sorts, naturally early and
continuous bloomers also furnishing a
very good stem at the beginning of the
season. As a rule these two colors will
supply what can be called the demand.

From last year's experience with
Enchantress, I am satisfied early blooms
from this variety should not be attempt-
ed. A large proportion of the first buds
came bull-headed, developing into flow-
ers of no value.

Every care possible should now be
given stock to maintain vigorous growth.
The days are quite long yet, but rapidly
growing shorter and the tendency in all
plant life is now toward rest. Every
particle of growth we can obtain natural-
ly, that is, before the heat is turned on,
adds to the strength of the plant. To
this end break up the surface of the
bench soil frequently and remove all
weeds and other objectionable matter.

As a discouragement to lurking germs
of fungous diseases, an application of
grape dust is advisable. Choose a bright
day and apply when the sun is the hot-
test. Keep the air in the houses on
the move by giving abundant ventila-
tion and attend closely to the watering.

TOBACCO STEMS.

We can buy tobacco stems very cheap,
getting a load of 600 or 700 pounds for
25 cents. We have lots more than we
can use for fumigating and would like to
know the best and most profitable way of
using them. Would it be best to pile
them up and rot them for fertilizer or to
burn them and save the ashes and use
them on carnations and Mumsf

P. & P.

I have been unable to secure any def-
inite information regarding the value of
tobacco as a fertilizer as compared with
animal manure. Growers generally con-
cede that tobacco has some fertilizing
qualities, but just how much thev do not
seem to know. The Bureau of Plant In-
dustry, U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, gives as its opinion that tobacco
stems should have about one-half the fer-
tilizing qualities of stable manure. The
ashes from tobacco, they think, ought to

be as good as wood ashes. If you can
get plenty of manure it would seem un-
profitable to use the stems in the stead
of manure, but it might pay you to burn
them and use the ashes instead of wood
ashes. I doubt, however, whether that
would really pay you, as wood ashes are
not expensive unless you have to ship
them. It would take considerable time
and work to burn enough stems to make
a barrel of ashes and it would likely
cost you more than wood ashes would
cost. If I were in your place I would
be disinclined to bother with the stems,
except what I wanted for fumigating, etc.

THE POINSETTIA.

[The following is the essay by W. F. Rowles,
which won first prize In a competition con-
ducted by the Hull Horticultural Association.
The culture Is British, but the principles are
the same the world over.]

The poinsettia is particularly valued on
account of the warmth and brilliancy
of its bracts, and more especially bo-
cause of the period over which its beauty
extends, a period when any flower pos-
sessing rich color in so marked a degree
is a boon to the gardener. It goes witli-
out saying that good bracts of this plant
are not obtained without bringing to
bear on the subject untiring care and
intelligence. However well versed in the
principles of culture the grower may be,,
he will never reach the truest success in
the growth of this or any other plant,
without acting up to the fullness of his
knowledge and avoiding neglect.

But let us to the question of ways and
m^ns. Unlike many other subjects, the
poinsettia does not require a very long
period of annual growth; in fact it is
possible to root the cuttings and sec
the expansion of the bracts within the

space of three calendar months. This,
however, is not the usual method. Prob-
ably the best time for inserting the
cuttings, (which is the orthodox metho-J
of propagation) is early in June, thus
allowing six months before the bracts
show color in Decem.ber. The cuttings
should whenever possible be detached
from the old plant with a heel; not that
they derive any special facility for root-
ing therefrom, but mainly that the older
portion being harder diminishes the ex-
cessive exudation of sap, and thus pre-
vents the cuttings flagging to such an
alarming extent as they often do when
taken off heelless.

Immediately on detaching them thrust
the cuttings into a bucket of cold water
which will greatly stop the bleeding. No
time should then be lost in having them
inserted in "thimble" pots, filled with
a mixture of equal parts loam, leaf soil,
cocoanut fibre refuse and sand. Make
firm, and without delay plunge in fibre
refuse in a propagating case. Water
well, keep a close atmosphere, damp daily
overhead (leaving the case open for an
hour afterwards) and shade from direct
sunshine until they root.

From that time the air admitted to
the case should daily be gradually in-
creased, and the period of shading pro-
portionately decreased. With alwut a
week of this treatment they should be
ready to quit the case altogether. But
at this time more than at any other is
the grower 's vigilance most necessary ;
for he must recognize the fact that as
in the ethical and moral so in the horti-
cultural world there is but a thin and
almost imperceptible line dividing right
from wrong, and at no period of their
early existence are the young plants in
so close proximity to that none too imag-

inary line as at the time of which I am
now treating. Once a poinsettia is al-
lowed to flag, whether through lack of
water, cold tlraughts, or fierce suhshiue,
its constitution, and especially the facul-
ty of retaining its foliage is considerably
and conspicuously impaired; and here
on the threshold of the subject I might
remark that the true criterion of correct
culture in this plant is the retention of
the foliage in a healthy condition right
down to the pot. If this condition exists,
nothing but an unusual absence of sun-
shine to ripen the wood, will adversely
affect the expansion of desirable bracts.

As soon as the plants have accustomed
themselves to the change consequent on
removal from the propagating case to
a mora open atmosphere, they will in
all probability require a shift; which
event should not be delayed, for they
quickly become dry in such small pots.
The size should not be less than three
inches in diameter, and the compost may
consist of loam, leaf soil, peat, sand
and charcoal. Let them remain in the
same temperature for a few days to
recover from the inevitable check of pot-
ting, and above all things water care-
fully, endeavoring to keep the soil al-
ways in that happy state which lies mid-
way between extremes of dust dry and
complete saturation.

Syringing overhead may be performed
twice daily, using water of about the
same temperature as the house. A max-
imum night temperature of 50 to 55 de-
grees will then be suflScient for them for
a few weeks, after which they may be
transferred to a cold frame and potted
as soon as necessary in 5 or 6-inch pots,
using four parts fibrous loam, one part
leaf soil, one part peat, some dried cow
manure broken up, mortar rubble, and
charcoal. Firm potting is advisable, but
the use of a ramming stick is wholly
unnecessary.

Shading should be employed as little
as possible, and only immediately the
plants have been repotted or are shifted
to cooler quarters, when the tendency to
flag would only be heightened by fierce
sunshine. The aim should be to keep
the stock as cool and airy as possible,
Jind thus build up a robust constitution.
As they outgrow the limits of height al-
lowed them in a frame, it will be nec-
essary to remove them to a cool structure
where an abundance of air can be al-
lowed.

This feature is equally as important
as the watering, for in a closed house on
wliich the sun strikes strongly, and where
the plants are far from the glass, they
must according to all the canoas of hor-
ticultural science inevitably become
drawn, and all who are in the smallest

way acquainted with the habit of the
plant must know that it requires no ar-
tificial stimulus to extend the distaiu'-e
between the bracts and the pot, but
rather a decided effort in the other di-
rection is needed to restrict its aspira-
tions. In view of this I advise that not
more than six inches of space be left be-
tween the top of the plants and the
glass, temporary methods of raising them
to that height being employed, and as
they approach the glass let the stage be
lowered.

Syringing overhead may be continued
twice a day, omitting this on wet and
sunless days. A stimulant will be needed
when the final pots are well filled witli
roots. This may take the form of liquid
cow or sheep manure or soot water, be-
stowing also on each plant once a fort-
night or three weeks a pinch of some ap-
proved fertilizer. Do not use the artificial
too liberally, for although it may be
an excellent preparation it is possible
to overstep the bounds of prudence by
marked generosity, which in its effect on
the future of the plant is more destruct-
ive than studied parsimony.

"When the plants betray unmistakable
signs of forming their bracts, the heat
of the house should be raised to a min-
imum of 60 degrees by night, with less
air afforded. The syringe also should
henceforth be laid aside. Feeding should
be discontinued when the color of the
bract is plainly visible, its employment
after that time being wasteful.

Plenty of sunshine is now more than
at any other time necessary, and without
fear of contradiction I can vouch for the
fact that if two sets of plants are grown,
the one in a light structure and the other
in a house whose roof presents a largo
surface of wood, given an equality in
stock, food and attention, the batch in
the house receiving the most light will
be much superior to the other.

Reference has already been made as

to the height of the plant, and it is no
exaggeration to say that even under
good culture it may be anything up to
ijix feet, but as this is a height which
necessarily detracts from its utility, ways
and means have been found by garden-
ers (who possess a remarkable aptitude
for I using the f oreeS' ©"if nature for the
realization of their wishes) whereby this
great height may be lessened. Briefly, it
is thus — ^wheu the bract has about half-
expanded a cut is made half-way through
the stem at a distance of one foot from
the bract and immediately below a leaf
joint. Some cold water is dashed against
the opening to check the outpour of sap,
and the plant is left thus for a week or
ten ' days, by which time it will have
callused over, and the piece may be com-
pletely severed, inserted in a 3-inch pot,
and rooted in the ordinary way by keep-
ing a close atmosphere, etc. Thus is
the height reduced without materially af-
fecting the size and splendor of tlie
head.

When the heads have been cut off.

gradually withhold water from the old
plants until all the leaves have dropped
off, when the stock may be put under a
stage in a temperature of not more than
50 degrees, and kept dry until propagat-
ing times arrives.

Now for a word on artificial selection,
Avhich 'is an important phase of up-to-
date horticulture, and perhaps of greater
benefit to the practical gardener than
hybridization. The desiderata in poin-
settias are short, sturdy growth, large
expansive heads, and numerous wide and
highly-colored bracts, by which latter
term I mean here the colored leaves.
Little scrutiny will be needed to discovei-
plants abounding in these good quali-
ties, and having been marked, it will be-
come the grower to select his cuttings
as far as possible from these ear-marked
plants, so that a distinct improvement
will be observed in a few generations.

Mealy bug, red spider, and scale are
the plant's most dangerous enemies, but
they are not difficult to combat.

IN DESIGN...

VASE ARRANGEMENTS.

Floral Designing.

It may be well to remind ourselves
again as to what is included in the term
floral designing. Commonly, a floral de-
sign inertns an arrangement on a wire
frame, but properly it means the plan

An Arrangement of Dahlias.

with which one or more flowers are
used. Unless otherwise designated, the
latter should always be the construction
put upon the term. It includes the
study of both form and color in their
broadest sense and application.

In planning a decoration for a room
or an elaborate piece, one should always
see the finished work in his mind's eye
before he begins, but in a simple vase
arrangement it is better to give the flow-
ers a chance to arrange themselves. How
to give them this chance takes a little
cave and forethought.

The Receptacle.

In the first place, the choice of a re-
ceptacle should be considered. Allow
the character of the flower to be used
to decide this question. If it comes to
a choice between a rose bowl, a slender
glass vase, or an odd piece of pottery, a
few glances at the flowers themselves
ought to deteimine the best receptacle.
In the case of the dahlia bouquet here-
with illustrated, one can see that the
habits of growth are about like this:
Very tall, slender stems, comparatively
straight, topped by a short curve, where
the flower appears; flowers not very
sprangly nor abundant.

Assemble the Flowers.

Let us aim to make the finished bou-
quet, including the vase and flowers,
resemble in a general way the plan of
ihe flower stalk. Therefore, we will se-
lect the tall, slender, straight vase, not
a great quantity of flowers, plenty of
foliage and buds. Gather them loosely
in your hand at first and set them all to-
gether in the vase. They should be set
in loosely enough to have some play and
they will arrange themselves. Some will
nod, some will face forward, some back-
ward, a few will droop, two or three
will group themselves together, while an-
other one will appear a little offish with

its o-wn buds. Have all sides interesting,
not "made up."

It is not wise to construct a bouquet
of flowers in a vase one by one. Leave
every flower to its own natural bent. Let
the foliage reverse itself when it will.
You will often find a little lesson in col-
oring on the under side of the leaf, and
you can even read the coloring of the
flower and find suggestive combinations
for it by the coloring of the under side
of the foliage. This is beautifully illus-
trated in cinerarias.

Coloring and Form.

The coloring in this cluster is rich,
reddish brown, with pale straw color
and creamy white, with the red predom-
inating. Other good dahlia combina-
tions are dark crimson purple with crim-
son pink, but no white, bronze and
white, rose pink and white.

Not only is it well to choose a recep-
tacle the lines of which are similar to
the lines of the flower stalk, but the
flowers when set in the vase should so
coincide with the outline of the vase that
their lines grow together. Authority for
this is foun'd in the similarity of form
between the flower, or its petals, and the
leaves or leaflets belonging to the same
plant. In this case one can easily trace
the resemblance between the outline of
the obtusely pointed petals and the
leaves, which may be similarly described.
In fact botanists claim that the flower,
not the floral organs proper, but the
floral envelope, is but a modified leaf.
So if we want to get at the real design
in any flowers which we propose to use,
we can best develop this plan of design
by choosing the receptacle whose outline
and form conform most closely to the
combination of lines which is found in
the flower. Gertrude Blair.

TUBEROUS BEGONIAS.

What beautiful things tuberous be-

gonias are when they are successfully
grown for bedding purposes, and in
masses, wlierever they will be in har-
mony with surroundings!

In all large grounds there are posi-
tions that are perfectly -proper for dis-
playing the numerous showy summer
flowering plants and in our experience
the tuberous begonias are exceedingly
useful for this purpose. They afford
an opportunity to depart a little from
the stereotyped ornamental bedding dis-
plays we so often see.

The tuberous begonias have been so
much improved from the original types
during the past twenty years by hybridi-
zation, crossing and selection that they
have even astonished the plant breeders
themselves, in the results they have ac-
complished in the improvement of these
plants.

They are free from stiffness in their
habit and character, the foliage is am-
ple and handsome and the flowers range
from white through numerous shades of
yellowj pink and red, to deep maroon.
Tjast summer many of the blossoms with
us were six to seven inches in diameter.
For brilliancy of color there is nothing
comparable to tuljerous begonias (and
all classes of people are enthssiastic in
admiration o'f them.

We grow them in mixed colors and we
think that the effect is just as good as
when grown in separate color combina-
tions. How we treat or grow them may
be of interest to some. We pot the bulbs
at the end of March or first of April and
plunge the pots in hotbeds. They are
planted out the end of May or first of
June, in beds of light sandy loam, liberally
enriched with rotted cow-manure, and
preferably in a position shaded from the
noon-day sun, although they do very well
•with us in the full sun. Careful and
strict attention must be given to abund-
ance of water. If the weather is dry, no
mistake will be made by placing the
hose spray on them overy other after-

noon. The tubers should be lifted at the
approach of frost, dried and stored in
a dry, cool temperature, through the
winter months, not beloAv 45 degrees. —

land Park Superintendents.

CEREUS GRANDIFLORUS.

The accompanying illustration is a re-
production of a photograph from T.
Grossenbach, of the Stertzing floral es-
tablishment at Maplewood, Mo. It
shows two well developed flowers of the
night blooming cereus, C, grandiflorus..
The plant is several years old and this
year produced seven nowers each meas-
uring from seven to eight inches across.

Vegetable Forcing.

p. O'Mara, in a discussion on polli-
nation at the St. Louis convention of
the S. A. F., spoke of the method em-
ployed by a tomato grower of his ac-
quaintance to secure an early crop in-
doors. He is in the habit of preserving
the last flowers produced on outdoor vines,
tying up the branches in paper bags,
and using the pollen to fertilize the first
flowers produced under glass, which are
themselves deficient in pollen. Mr.
O'Mara said the pollen keeps six weeks
or two months with the bags hung in a
dry place.

LETTUCE UNDER GLASS.

Please give me a little information
about lettuce under glass. What time
should the seed be sown to get the crop
off by January 1 to 15? Will four inches
of soil do? Will the soil that has been
prepared for carnations produce a good
crop? What variety of lettuce is the
best for market? Does lettuce require as
much or more water than carnations?

E. C. L.

If seeds are sown at the end of Sep-
tember or first of October they ought,

in ten weeks from time of sowing but
that was during the spring months, when
the days were getting longer and bright-
er as the crop matured, but at the sea-
son you intend to grow this crop the
opposite conditions prevail; hence the
crop will require rather more time to
attain the mature stage.

Lettuce can be grown in four inches
of soil but this is rather too shallow, as
the scil is apt to dry out too fast, mak-
ing it hard to maintain an even moist-
ure at the roots. They are far easier
grown in solid beds than in raised
benches, because, in the first place, they
do better where the soil is a few degrees
cooler than the overhead temperature,
and, in the second place, there is much
less danger of extremes in the moisture
of the soil, making the plants more sus-
ceptible to the attacks of the several
fungous diseases to which they are often
an easy prey, even under the most favor-
able conditions and with the best of
care.

I have grown good lettuce in benches
by plaeing about two inches of thor-
oughly rotted manure in the bottom of
the bench and filling up over this with
about three inches of soil. The manure,
acting as a moisture conserving element,
eliminated the danger of fluctuation and
enabled us to maintain a more even moist-
ure in the soil with less frequent appli-
cations of water than where soil alone
was used.

I don't know what your carnation soil
consists of, but as a rule the compost
used for carnations is made rather rich-
er than is really needed for lettuce. In
these a good deal of damping is often
caused by having too much manure in
the soil. If your soil is a free, friable
loam of good quality, little or no man-
ure would be required if the, bench is
filled with manure in the bottom as rec-

Cereus Graodif lorus.

under favorable conditions, to be ready
for the time specified, about three
months being required at that season
from time of sowing until the crop is
at its best. We have had lettuce mature

ommended above. If light, of course, a
little would be needed and if stiff and
heavy it could be lightened by some good
old manure from the horse stables. A
free, sandy loam is the best suited for

lettuce grown indoors. Such a loam re-
quires to be moderately enriched. For
this purpose there is nothing better than
moderately decomposed barnyard man-
ure. I have never had satisfactory re-
sults from the use of chemical fertiliz-
et9i

Regarding variety, head lettuce is in-
variably preferred. Of this the best we
have tried is a variety known as Glass
House. It is of the Boston Market type
and probably a selection from this old
variety. Some still prefer the old Bos-
ton Market but Glass House embodies
all its good qualities and is less suscep-
tible to disease. If a head lettuce is
not essential. Grand Rapids is the easi-
est grower and produces more weight
p?r foot of bench than any variety I
know.

Generally speaking, lettuce does not
require so much water as carnations, but
it must be even more judiciously ap-
plied, their softer nature rendering them
more susceptible to injury through ex-
cessive dryness or inactivity of the roots
should the soil be overcharged with wa-
ter. Sub-irrigation has been found ben-
eficial, but good lettuce can be grown
by watering in the old way if judicious
care is exercised in its application.

The regrulation of the atmospheric
moisture is one of the most important
points in the cultivation of lettuce under
glass. Growing, as they do, at a right
temperature of from 40 to 45 degrees,
so little artificial heat is required that
there is little danger of the atmosphere
being too dry unless during very bright
weather. The trouble, especially during
the dull winter days, is to get the atmos-
phere dry enough to prevent condensa-
tion settling on the foliage during the
night when the house is closed. This
condensation is one of the principal
agencies in the development of fungus
diseases. As a preventive against this
watering should be done in the morning
and, if possible, on bright days only,
when sufficient air can be admitted to
dry up the moisture before time to close
the house down. W. S. Croydon.

TOMATOES.

About August 20 we begin sowing
seed for our first lot of tomatoes. This
brings the ripe fruit in at the holidays,
which is about as soon as many care to
pay the price for greenhouse tomatoes.
In private gardens, where a continuous
supply is often called for, seed requires
to be sown earlier than this, but with
the commercial grower the idea of a
continuous supply does not count; the
point is to strike the market when the
best price is likely to be obtained.
■ Regarding varieties, I think it is a
good plan to try some of the new ones
every year or two, as they come out.
Go somewhat slowly at first, until you
are satisfied that you have something
worth growing. Do not consign some of
the good old varieties to back-number-
hood simply l>eoause you have some-
thing with a big name. Though it has
succeeded with others, it may not suc-
ceed so well with you. Tomatoes are
not like roses, carnations, etc., which
are liable to deteriorate in the course of
a few years. The tomato, being taken
from seed, is practically a new plant
every year. The others being propa-
gated from cuttings, are but parts of an
old plant which, being subjected to the
weakening inflyence of culture under
artificial conditions year after year,
lose both in strength and ^igor. When

Gtnadian Hortictdtural Association at G Scrim's Place, Ottawa, Ont, August 11, 1904.

a plant is taken from a well matured
seed there is much less chance of any
defects in the parent being present in
the offspring, bence less danger of de-
terioration. Still, this does not lessen
the desire for new varieties, and any
variety better adapted for forcing than
those already existing is always welcome.

The English varieties seem to be more
adapted for forcing than our American
kinds, probably from the fact that they
are grown there entirely indoors and
have been so grown so long that the
most essential qualities have been
brought to a higher state of perfection.
To this class telong Sutton's Best of
All and Sterling Castle, both varieties
that are now pretty generally grown
here. Some of the later introductions
from this source are Frogmore Scarlet,
Frogmore Selected and Eclipse, all
proven to be varieties worth trying.

It is surprising how the different
varieties behave in different places. We
often find a variety doing well here and
at some place no great distance away it
is far from satisfactijry. It is hard to
tell, sometimes, what' the cause of it is
but probably the character of the soil
has much to do with it. It is well, how-
ever, to try the newer varieties as by
this means you are apt to run across
something that may show a special
adaptability to your particular condi-
tions. W. S. Croydox.

NOTES ON CANADIAN MEETINa

Ottawa has long been known as the
capital of Britain's premier colony and
as such is the home of His MJajesty's
representative and the houses of parlia-
ment. To the Canadian florists who at-
tended the seventh annual convention of
the C. H. A., held there August 9 and
10, it will be remembered as one of the
prettiest and cleanest cities of the Do-
minion and a place of great hospitality.
The attendance from outside points was
good, especially the Toronto and Mon-
treal deputations making a good show-
ing. The convention was a success in
point of interest and general informa-
tion given by the several papers read and
discussions. Exhibits of plants and sup-
plies were large and of excellent quality.

In replying to the address of welcome
Mr. McXenna said that the landscape
gardeners and growers of cut flowers
have a common interest in the promotion
of love of flowers. The more flowers we
produce the more people will love them;

the better flowers we produce the better
they will love them. The improvement
so noticeable in the last twenty years
has been largely owing to organizations
such as this.

The president's address was discussed
at some length and among the different
subjects taken up was chanj^ing the tar-
iff. A committee was appointed to bring
in a report and when the report was
submitted some strong political speeches
were delivered, especially by J. Camp-
bell, Simcoe, who championed the protec-
tionists' cause, and Thos. Manton, who
stood for the out and out free traders.
The committee 's report was adopted ad-
vocating that azaleas, rhododendrons and
pot-grown lilacs be put on the free list,
with a duty of 25 per cent on
palms and all other plants and cut
flowers, also gladiolus and dahlia roots.
The secretary was instructed to forward
a copy of this recommendation to the
minister of customs.

Wm. Gammage's statement that Be-
gonia Gloire de Lorraine is a leader for
Christmas was taken exception to by
many as it has given so much dissatis-
faction to customers that some think it
a dangerous plant for the trade, it being
felt that if a customer buys a nice plant
and pays a big price for it and the
flowers drop off next day it might have
a tendency to discourage that customer
from buying any other kind of a flower-
ing plant.

A good paper by A. C. Wilshire, of
Montreal, on "The Florists' Trade from
a Retailer's Standpoint" was heartily
enjoyed. Mr. Wilshire stated that he
uses no wire at all in any of his cut
flower work, that is, in supporting the
stems. He prefers to put the stems
right into the moss. He said that he
believes that It detracts from the
beauty of set pieces for wires or other
supports to be used. This was objected
to by a number, who claimed that it
adds considerably to the durability of
the design to have the flowers supported
and thus kept from drooping.

A paper that brought out considerable
comment and merriment was by O. G.
Johnston, Kingston, entitled "The Best
Size of House for the Ordinary Florist
to Build. ' ' Mr. Johnston said to answer
that question he would have to ask sev-
eral, first, how ordinary the florist was?
He thought the size and style of the
house did not matter as much as the
caliber of the man running it.

A lecture by Prof. W. T. Macoun,

horticulturist at the Central Experi-
mental Farm, Ottawa, on hardy peren-
nials suitable for florists and illustrated
by over 300 varieties was very interest-
ing from the fact that hardy perennials
are yearly coming into more prominence
both for borders and cut flowers.

"Modern Iron Greenhouses vs. Old
Wooden Houses," was the title of the
paper given by Mr. King, of the King
Construction Co. Discussion brought out
some interesting points as to the
length of time that iron greenhouses
will last and the life of wooden green-
houses, also the best kind of paint used
in painting iron greenhouses. It was
plain from the trend of the discussion
that to return to the wooden construc-
tion would be a very backward move-
ment. On Thursday a visit was made
to E, H. Wright's greenhouses. Here
we saw a modern house under construc-
tion with stone side walls and ends with
King's iron construction truss roof.
This promises to be a very fine range.
Mr. ' Wright uses nothing but sawdust
for fuel and many of the visitors were
interested in his boilers. He says that
it is cheaper than coal as he gets saw-
dust for carting it away. D. J.

BE EXPLiaX.

The Review is very glad to answer
the inquiries of its readers, but often it
is impossible to afford much light on the
questioner's difficulties because of in-
sufficient details in the query. Where
conditions of soil, moisture, temperature
and other important matters are not
stated it is often not possible to say
what is wrong; the best we can do is to
say what may be the trouble. 1^11 us
the whole story; then we are pretty sure
to find a reader who has experienced the
same thing and discovered a way out
of the difficulty. And in queries with
regard to heating, don't be afraid to
go into details with regard to the char-
acter of the house or houses; how well
built, age, exposures, etc. These are
only a little less necessary than the di-
mensions and indoor and outdoor tem-
peratures in figuring on amount of radi-
ation, etc., and in their absence the best
that can be done is to provide for piping
which will be safe under ordinary cob-
ditions.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

AOQIST 25, 1004.

BOSTON.

The Market.

Grand Army week did not .stimulate the
market to any extent, tiade being quite
dull for several days, but it braced up otf
August 20. Koses remain at about the
same prices as previously quoted. Beau-
ties are more numerous, Worcester Con-
servatories sending in the largest supply.
A few carnations, indoor-grown, of the-
new crop are appealing and sell up to
$2.50 per 100. Outdoor-grown stock con-
tinues rather scarce. Asters, particularly
white ones, clean out well; quality of
these is not up to the mark. The only
sweet peas of any .value are Blanche
Ferry. Gladioli continue to come of
good quality. Some very nice ones are
included. The price of asparagus and
adiantum remains about the same.

The Exhibitions.

The lecture hall was again filled with
exhibits August 13. For display of an-
nuals in not less than fifty varieties,
filling not less than 150 vases, William
Thatcher, gardener to Mrs. J. L. Gard-
ner, was the only exhibitor, putting up
a good display. Robert Cameron, from
the Harvard Botanic Gardens, showed
an extensive l<ot of annuals in over 160
varieties and species. Mrs. L. Towle
had a fine collection of dahlias and an-
nuals, as had Mrs. E. 'SI Gill. W. Whit-
man, M. Sullivan, gardener, showed
gladioli, asters, native ferns in twenty-
five varieties, roses and some fine new
delphiniums, which received honorable
mention. Bay State Nurseries had a
fine table of perennial phloxes. F. L.
Ames estate, W. N. (>aig, gardener,
received a silver medal for a display of
cut orchids, consisting of miltonias,
cypripediums, Laelia elegans, cattleyas,
odontoglossums, etc. Blue Hill Nurser-
ies put up a magnificent collection of
hardy herbaceous flowers in 100 varie-
ties, which were finely staged and at-
tracted much attention. They were
awarded a first-class certificate of merit.
Henry Wild, gardener to Mrs. A. W.
Blake, exhibited a superb specimen of
Eucharis Amazonica grown in a tub,
carrying thirty-one spikes of flowers. It
was awarded a silver medal for superior
culture. Fruits were again well shown,
including indoor grapes, peaches and
nectarines. W. C. Winter won in the
grape class with fine Black Hamburg,
William McAllister being second with
Muscat of Alexandria. Vegetables were
very good. Fungi made a great display,
the small exhibition hall being devoted
to them.

The show on August 20 was smaller
than usual, owing to the heavy rain,
which spoiled many outside flowers. For
display of not less than thirty vases of
liardy phloxes, T. C. Thurlow won with
n thoroughly representative collection.
The only other competitor was Anthony
McLaren. The date was too late for
phloxes, as also for pentstemons, which
are practically over, and were not shown
al all. In the way of miscellaneous ex-
hibits, R. & J. Farquhar & Co. gVowed
asters in 100 distinct varieties or colors.
Messrs. Farquhar also showed a large
teble of fine spikes of Lilium auratum.

J. H. White, James Wheeler, gardener,
received a certificate of merit for Phlox
Tapis Blanc (white carpet) a fine varie-
ty growing only nine inches in beipht.
Mrs. E. M. Gill had a display of dahlias.
Lager & Hurrell sent a nice collection of

cut orchids, including Cattleya gigas, C.
L)owJana and C. Eldorado, Anguloa Clo-
v.c&ii, Oncidium Rogersii and O. crispum
and spikes of their excellent strain of
liaelia elegans carrying up to a dozen
Hovers each. Those received honorable
mention. F. L. Aries estate, W. N.
Craig, gardener, had a table of gloxinias,
including such varieties as Reading Scar-
let, Her Majesty, Duchess of York and
others. Fruits and vegetables were well
shown and over 100 vaiieties of mush-
rooms were shown by the Boston Myco-
logical Club. The closing weekly show
of the season occurs on August 27. As-
ters and herbaceous plants are on the
schedule.

The Independent Market.

* The directors of the new Boston Co-
operative Flower Market have secured
premises under Music Hall sufficiently
large to accommodate 170 growers and
will be ready for the sale of stalls Au-
gust 31. Believing that the general buy-
ing public has not been satisfied with the
old location, the directors have chosen
one of the most central locations in Bos-
ton, where they hope to have the cordial
co-operation of all the buyers and grow-
ers. An equal amount of additional
space is at disposal whenever needed.
Chas. E. Dickerman is president and the
other members of the board of directors
are E. Wood, Norris Comley, Donald Car-
michael, John McFarland, Elijah Cart-
right, George Ayer and Wilfrid Wheeler.

The North Shore.

A visit to what is commonly called
the North Shore, which comprises Prides
Crossing, Beverly Farms, West Manches-
ter, Manchester and other towns, reveals
a wonderful horticultural growth during
the past five years. A call at a number
of the more important places showed

that greenhouse building is steadily in-
creasing, so»e>f^the estates having fine
ranges of j^assV. :;^

At Mrs. K. C. Hooper's everything is
remarkably well kept. The houses here
are quite new and stocked to repletion
with well grown plants. In the orchid
house cattleyas were bristling with
sheathes. A batch of Oncidium vari-
cosum Rogersii carried spikes with 150
to 200 flowers and buds each. In the
carnation house Lawson is grown inside
altogether and succeeds best treated
thus. Lady Bountiful, The Belle, En-
chantress, White Lawson and The
Queen are also grown. Enchantress "be-
ing the great favorite. In two divisions
devoted to roses, American Beauty, is
chiefly grown and looked well. A ho)cise
of tuberous begonias and single zoriale
geraniums was very attractive. Some
of the best of the latter were Ian Mc-
Laren, Jacquerie, Rudyard Kipling, Gen.
Sam Sloan, J. M. Barrie, Chaucer, Rich-
mond Beauty, Gertrude Pearson and
Snowdrop.^ A house of chrysanthemums
looked first-class, as did one of English
melons. Favorite sorts are Sutton's Al,
Eureka and Windsor Castle. Divisions
of grapes and nectarines were very good.
Outdoors everything was well kept and
William Swan, the head gardener, is evi-
dently thoroughly up-to-date in every
way.

At H. L. Higginson's the veteran
Joseph Clark always has some interest-
ing plants to show. A walk through his
alpine garden is full of interest. Here,
under conditions which evidently suit
them, liliums are to be seen at theit
best. L. Henryi carried spikes eight
feet high with thirty to forty flowers
on each. L. auratum, Hansoni. Bat-
manniae and others were equally good.
In a greenhouse we noted fine specimens
opening flower of Lagerstroemia indicn
and the variety alba. Hedychium Gard-
nerianum was also flowering freely.

James Salter has charge of the green-
houses of Philip Dexter. These are
mostly lean-to. Several divisions ar©
devoted to grapes, one to nectarines, two
to melons, hybrids of Mr. "Salter 's rais-
ing being grown, and others to carna-
tions and chrysanthemums.
. At W. B. Thomas ' are two nice ranges
of houses. Chie is devoted to grapes,
nectarines, melons and cucumbers and
the other to roses, carnations, chrys-
anthemums, violets and antirrhinums.
Quite a few orchids were also grown.
M, F. Connolly has charge here and
grows a /fine lot of stuff, both outside
and in. \,

Probabfy the most expensivelv^* built
houses are those of W. S. Spaulding, at
Prides Crossing. It cost a fortune to
blast out the solid rock where the houses
now stand. These are very substantially
built. They consist of a commodious
palm house forty feet high, nicely
stocked with plants, including some
large specimens of Nephrolepis Scott ii;
a rose house 117 feet long, chiefly
planted with Beauties, a carnation
house just being planted with all the
newest and best sorts, chrysanthemum,
propagating and orchid houses. Of the
latter we noted that Edward Kirby. the
head gardener, had some fine cattleyas.
cypripediums, dendrobiums and oncidi-
ums.

The finest pentstemons we have seen
for years were at Miss A. G. Thayer's,
where Mr. McGregor presides. Phloxes
here, as elsewhere, were also very fine.
Mr. McGregor propagates his pentstem-
ons from cuttings in the fall, preferring

them to seedlings. His flowers were al-
most as large as gloxinias, and spikes
were in great demand for house decora-
tion.

J. B. Dow, of Beverly Farms, is per-
haps the best known florist in that sec-
tion. He does a large business among
the cottagers. One house here was de-
voted to Black Hamburg grape. Mel-
ons were noted in two houses, Rocky
Ford being chiefly grown. Boses, carna-
tions, violets and chrysanthemums de-
ceive some attention and a roomy house
is used for growing and storing hydran-
geas, of which many are loaned in sum-
mer and others boarded in winter. A
fine summer trade in cut flowers is done
here, annuals and perennials being
largely grown. Phloxes are a special
feature, as indeed they are at all the
numerous North Shore estates. Time
would not permit of a visit to other
establishments in this increasingly popu-
lar section.

Various Notes.

I'rowp* (ts arc good for tlie coming ex-
liibition of the Chrysanthemum Society
"f America in Boston. President Her-
I'lngton has appointed a committee of five
'0 assist the members of the Massachu-
setts Horticultural Society in caring for
"xhibits. with William Nicholson as chair-
man.

Alexander Montgomery is confined to
• K'd with a severe attack of malaria, from
\vhich his many friends wish him a speedy
recovery.

Superintendent Pettigrew, of the park
•'system, was kept very busy the past week
showing numerous park superintendents
his domains. His visitors hailed from as
far away as San Francisco.

Members of the Independent Co-opera-
tive Flower Market hope to be able to
move into their new quarters under Music
flail early in October.

Wax Bros, have been showing a splen-
did lot of white gladioli and nymphseas
in their windows the past week.

Hoffmann keepg a very attractive store
on Massachusetts avenue. The green-
houses at Mount Auburn aie also much
ii^^oved since he took possession of
them. W. N. Craio.

THE YOUNGEST FLORIST.

The notes publislicd in recent issues
with regard to the youngest florists own-
ing and managing businesses have re-
sulted in a number of communications
being received on the subject and it de-
velops that there are a large number of
men in their early twenties who are con-
ducting good sized establishments.

Attention is called to Andrew D.
Austin, of Milwaukee, who is 25 years
of age and owns and manages an fstab-
lishmpnt of 40,000 square feet of glass,
basing an additional 8,000 feet owned
by Lis father. The elder Austin was a
vegetable grower and the young man
was brought up in the business. When
he was 18 years of age lie Ixcame a part-
ner and at 21 built 13,000 fe'^t of glass
of Lis own. Since then he has added
27,00C feet and leased his father's place.
Two years ago he started to grow car-
nations, sweet peas and bedding plants
in a small way, and has been so suc-
cessful that he has dropped vegetables
entirely and the entire place will be this
season devoted to carnations, sweet peas,
lilies, tulips and other bulbous stock and
bedding plants.

Another enterprising youug man who is
just starting in the business is Edward
I?uch, of Richmond, Ind. He is 24 years
of age. He was brought up in the business
and is now building two greenhouses
which will l)e planted to carnations for
the wholesale market. He has an excel-
lent piece of land upon wliich lie can ex-

tend his establishment as his business
grows.

Max Engclmann, of Pittsfield, Mass., .
lias not yet become 21, but has been in
the business three years. He made his
start in 1901 with a house 15x85 feet,
after having two years' experience in
the employ of a local florist. In the
sprinfy of 1903 he was joined by his
father, mIio had no experience in the
business, and the firm has since been
under the name of R. Engelmann &
Son, but under the management of the
latter. They now Iiave 6,000 square feet
of glass, built by their own hands. They
grow roses, carnations, mums and vio-
lets and are doing a nice retail business.
They made their start under adverse ;
circumstances, the coal strike making
the first winter a most diflicult one, and
last winter the thermometer went down
to 38 degrees below zero. Pittsfield is a >
city of 25,000 inhabitants with eight
florists. ,

The Ley Brothers, of Washington, .
D. C.^ sons of John H. Ley^ are 22 and ;
23 years of age respectively. They have
for some time conducted a retail store
in Washington and since their father's ■
death have taken over an establishment ;
of about 15,000 feet of glass at Lang-
don, which they are devoting to Boston . ■
and Piersoni ferns, adiantums, etc., with
two houses of carnations and one of
roses and chrysanthemums. The estab-
lishment has been a money loser for sev- ,
eral of Washington 's leading florists, so
that the young men understand that they
are undertaking a large contract, but
they are doing all the work themselves
and have put the place in first-class or-
der and have every prospect of making
the establishment one of the most suc-
cessful in the vicinity.

NAME OF VINE.

I enclose a branch of a vine of which
I would like to know the name. Tt was
found in the woods and seems to do best
growing among brush piles. The root is
composed of a string of small tubers re-
sembling potatoes. Planted in a partial-
ly shaded situation near the house, it
makes a very pretty vine, and the blos-
soms are very fragrant. No one about
ht>re can name it, and I should be pleased
to know what it is. A. W. T.

The vino is Apios tuberosa (Moench).
a widely distributed plant of the legu-
minous order, which has often attracted
the attention of botanists because of its
]>ossibilities of development as a food
plant. A few years ago tlie writer re-
ceived an order from an investigator in
Prague. Bohemia, for a quantity of apios
tubers to be planted there to tost its
availability. The tubers were sent but
the overcautious government officials
there, fearing insect pests, perhaps, would
not allow them to be unpacked, so they
were returned to Chicago. The apios is
popularly called ground nut and wild
bean. The names tuberous-rooted wis-
taria and micmac potato are also applied
to it. The tubers are very nutritious
when baked. J. HiggIns.

RocKFORD, III.— Sullivan & Slagle, a
partnership fortned by two well known
florists, are building three large green-
houses opposite West Side cemetery. Tbe
firm is having considerable trouble in
procuring a water supply, being' outside
the city limits. The city council ordered
an extension of the water mains to the
groenhAuses, but the mayor interposed
his veto.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

Business continues fair for the season.
Beauties and valley are in demand, with
the supply of excellent quality. Asters
are scarce. Some remarkably fine Sem-
ple's are now coming in, the beet being
sent by Mrs. S. I. Smith, of Secane, to
the Flower Market. Gladioli are plenti-
ful. They seem to sell a little better as
the season advances. Some nice field-
grown carnations are coming in, of the
three leading colors, pink, red and white.
Dahlias are more plentiful, but as yet
they do not sell very well.

From St. Louis.

^Delegates to the S. A. F^ convention
at St. Louis last week are returning in
small parties. They report an interest-
ing meeting, a splendid trade exhibit and
a very pleasant time at the World 's Fair.
They speak highly of the horticultural
exhibits and the courtesies shown them
by the St. Louis florists. Despite the
counter attractions of the Fair, mstny of
the exhibitors report excellent business.
The bowling team did their best, which
was all we asked of them. We hope for
better things next year.

Various Notes.

It is said that J. J. Habermehl 's Sons
have secured the flower privilege in the
new Belleview Stratford Hotel, at Broad
and Walnut streets.

M. Rice & Co. have received a very
warm letter of commendation on their
St. Louis exhibit from a western florist.
Mr. B.ice states his firm 's business there
exceeded that of past conventions.

Eugene Bernheimer has been receiving
some fine Semple's asters. ^

Ed. A. Stroud expects to cut soot
from his July planted carnations. Both
the pot and field-grown plants are doing
finely, the latter being more stocky but
not so far advanced.

Ed. Reid returned on Sunday from a
very pleasant trip to the south.

John Savage, of Mower street, Mt.

Wm. H. York. Mr. Savage has rented
the place until next season, when he
hopes to secure a desirable position as
manager or superintendent.

Arthur H. Lanser, of Wayne, Pa., feels

A near-by freight wreck on the Penn-
sylvania enabled him to get a two years'
supply of coal at 45 cents a ton.

Arthur A. Niessen speaks highly of the
condition of John F. Andre 's place at
Doylestown, Pa. Cutting has just com-

William J. Young, Jr., of Gerniantown,
has completed the work of moving and
rebuilding three greenhouses and is
erecting a handsome brick office. The
moving was cleverly managed, one-half

space for a building lot in front.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Trade the past week was good consid-
ering the season. The cool weather has
come back, but too late for our S. A. F.
brothers to enjoy. The supply of roses
kept fairly up with the demands of the
market. The quality of the stock is not
so good as it might be. There is a good
deal of short-stemmed stock in the mar-
ket, which sells cheaply. The Brides and
Maids cut from old stock are better than
those cut from young stock. Prices on
these have changed but little. $2 to $3
buying about the best. Beauties are
coming in much better and with longer
stems. The best of these are selling at
from $1.50 to $2.50 per dozen. $3 to $5
per 100 for shorts. Carnations are of
very poor quality and too short in stem.
Mrs. Fisher is about the best that comes
in just now. The very best bring $1.50,
colored sorts being poor with demand
good.

In outdoor stuff there is considerable
call for hydrangeas, also tuberose stalk?

and gladioli. The asters in now are of
poor quality, with a big demand for
white and purple. We have had plenty
of rain of late, which has made outdoor
stock in fine condition. Plenty of greens
in the market for all demands.

Various Notes.

The St. Louis boys are delighted with
the selection of Washington for next
year's convention and we know that our
friends, Gude, Freeman and Papa Smith,
will give us a good time next year.

The presents received by Messrs. Breit-
meyer, Hauswirth, Kuehn and Mein-
hardt were much admired by their
friends and they certainly deserve them
for their hard work during the conven-
tion.

We are glad Chicago won the bowling
match and they certainly have a great
bowler to lead them in young Stevens.
We came in second, and did pot expect
so good a position in the race, for a tired
lot of bowlers, overworked a week in ad-
vance. Patrick O'Mara was the proud-
est man of all for winning the "spare"
prize. We are glad of it, as he has
many admirers among the St. Louis boys.

Robt. Craig will remain ten days
longer to act as judge at the World's
Fair. A great many of the S. A. F. mem-
bers remain over this week to take in all
the sights of the Fair.

William Scott surely had the boys in
good humor all of the week, telling them
funny stories, and those who never knew
him before think him Great Scott sure
enough.

The general entertainment committee
will meet this week Thursday to settle up
convention matters, so as to report at the
next meeting of the club, September 8,

when a big time is expected. Installa-
tion of officers will take place at this
meeting and every member is expected to
be present to honor the new president.

NEWPORT, R. L

The Market.

The summer season is at its height,
and the florists have all been busy dur-
ing the past two weeks. Cut flowers
stay about where they were in price,
except sweet peas and gardenias. Sweet
peas, owing to the wet weather, are
scarce and find a ready market at 25
cents per hundred wholesale. Gardenias
are in large demand and good flowers
bring $6 a dozen at retail, and half this
amount to the dealers. Orchids also
have been very scarce, as so many are
used every day now for dinner decora-
tions; and the growers cut them very
closely.

Various Notes,

The last meeting for August of the
Newport Horticultural Society took
place Wednesday evening, with Presi-
dent James J. Sullivan in the chair.
The committee on prizes reported that
several very liberal special prizes had
been given the society since the last
meeting, to be awarded at the Septem-
ber exhibition. The following commit-
tee of arrangements to serve at the
autumn show, September 20 to 22, was
appointed: William F. Smith, Samuel
Speers, John T. Allan, John Baumgart-
ner and Andrew Christiansen. There
having been considerable confusion at
past exhibitions regarding the classifica-
tion of dahlias, the society chose a com-
mittee, consisting of James Robertson,

M. B. Faxon and Alexander McLellan,
to prepare a list of the various types
and classes, to be used by the exhibitors
at the coming exhibition when many
dahlias will be shown.

The J. M. Hodgson greenhouses and
lily pond, on Bellevue and Le Roy ave-
nues, is one of the commercial show
places of Newport. A number of very
handsome greenhouses have recently
been completed, and are daily inspected
by the cottagers and visitors to the city.
Hodgson has now one of the largest and
most complete floral establishments here,
and has been doing a great deal of good
work in dinner and luncheon decorations.

The California privet hedges are ue-
ing trimmed for the second time this
summer. Owing to so much wet weather
they have made a great growth and are
most beautifully green. These hedges
are always thoroughlyV trimmed jtwice
each season, once early in June and now
again in August; Newport's privet
hedges are on^ of the features of the
place, there being miles and miles of
them, more, I feel sure, than in any
other one section in this country.

Recent visitors: Mr. Hayes, repre-
senting Henry A. Dreer, Philadelphia;
A. H. Folger, New Rochelle, N. Y.; W.
P. Johnson, of the Albert Dickinson
Co., Chicago, and James J. Mulry, rep-
resenting Sigmund Geller, New York.

PACIFIC COAST.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

The triennial conclave of Knights
Templar for which preparations have
been in progress for the past several
weeks is almost at an end and the town
presents a gala appearance. The major-
ity of our stores are splendidly decorat-
ed for the event and thousands of yards
of garlands are used along the principal
streets.

But business is almost at a standstill
at present. Flowers, outside of roses,
are plentiful enough and there is very
little demand for anything. Quantities
of outdoor amaryllis and tuberoses are
being received and bring only what the
retailers feel_4ike paying. Asters are
being offered bj^ the thousands and the
prices remain low except for some fancy
stock. A few /chrysanthemums are be-
ing handled bn^ we do not look for any
quantity before next month. Sweet peas
are getting short of stem. Lilium album
and rubrum are not as plentiful as they
have been. They sell wholesale at from
$1.50 to $2.50 per dozen stems. Smilax
is coming in slowly and is very soft. A
goodly quantity of it is being used in
window decorations. Carnations are not
very plentiful and the price remains the
same as it has been for several weeks.

Various Notes.

The Frank & Parodi Co. has consoli-
dated the old store formerly located on
the comer of Brooks and Geary street,
with the new establishment opened sev-
eral months ago on Geary street near
Grant avenue.

The Art Floral Co.. of Sutter street,
has entirely remodeled the store and it
presents a very handsome appearance.

The Misses Kretman have opened a
retail place at 239 O'Farrell street.

The will of the late John Rock, of
Niles, has been admitted to probate. It
disposes of $20,000. which is left in
equal portions to his son and daughter.

J. Seulberger. of Oakland, has just
returned from a trip to the Yosemite
valley and his son. Frederick, has de-
parted on a month 's outing to Lake
Tahoe.

T. K. Love, of the Piedmont Floral
Co., is rusticating at Kenwood. Shasta
county.

J. T, Cochran has purchased the Gould
greenhouses at Fruitvale, and is remod-
eling them preparatory to replanting
carnations.

Joseph G. Lewis, for many years em-
ployed as an expert budder at the nurs-
eries of James O'Neill, at Haywards,
has taken charge of the season's rose
budding for Gill's Floral Depot at Oak-
land. G.

CONVENTIONS AND TRADE.

I had a conversation a few days ago
with one of our principal florists in San
Francisco. He has conducted one of the
largest stores in his line in the city for
over twenty years and the subject of the
Knights Templar celebration was spok-
en of and its influence on the business
done in the retail stores during the en-
campment. "The general pub^Jiafr-A_
highly erroneous inipres8io9,>*said he,
"that all that has to ^je^done in this
city or other large towns to bring an

extra amount of business to the stores
is to have some sort of a national cele-
bration for a week or two. But in my
experience I have yet to notice any in-
crease in my store receipts during such
a period. Of course we always rent a
few dozen palms and generally make up
a lot of cheap garlands, but the commit-
tee ha\ing the entertainment of the vis-
itors in charge usually expects the florist
to donate his stock or else give it to
them at half price, or sometimes they
contract bills and when the time comes
for the retailer to present his account
it is found that the committee spent all
the money they had collected to enter-
tain the visitors and the poor florist gets
left. It seems to me that the majority
of the visitors who come to California
on tiiese excursions have just enough
money on hand to live on while they are
here and pay their passage back and,
although they always make a round of
the florists' stores they never buy any-
thing and have a tremendous capacity
for inquiring the names and prices of
everything in sight. During the last
encampment we had here I had numer-
ous callers during the day and when I
told the price of our roses or carnations
the inquirers got very indignant and re-
marked that they could get flowers just
as good in Omaha or Pittsburg for the
same price. They evidently thought that
free bouquets should go with the other
favors that are visited on the strangers
within our gates by Califomians. Of
course it is right and proper that we
should entertain all the travelers that
visit our shores, and that we do so is
well known to anyone who has been
here, but that it is a money making
time for the florists I positively deny,
in fact we are always well satisfied when
the assembled hosts take their depart-
ure. ' '

Several other retailers whom I ap-
proached on the same subject were all
of the same opinion, so I think it will be
perfectly safe to say that although our
state and city no doubt receive much
permanent benefit from the thousands of
visitors we meet yearly on various ex-
cursions sent here, the money is spent
principally in hotels, restaurants, places
of amusement, street cars and almost
everjrwhere else except in the florists'
stores. G.

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH.

^Ve have had a very trying dry spell,
broken at last by copious rains, assuring
good carnation plants, as they are now
making a very rapid growth. All aie
planting, and at least half the entire
stock is housed. By September 1 nearly
all planting will be finished. Roses are
gaining length of stem, and are improv-
ing in quality. Mum stock is everywhere
looking fine. Harrisii are all potted up
and stowed away in frames.

The violet orop is not as much of a
success as last winter. One grower in the
outskirts has lost all his plants. It is
doubtful if he will leplant, as he has a
fine field of good carnation plants, and
thinks they will be a safer crop for this
season. Another grower thinks he will
throw out part of his crop, they are so
poor, nothing like what they were last
year. But two violet growers, Eli Cross
and Crabb & Hunter, are having all
around success with their stock to date.

Crabb & Hunter are cutting some very
fine long-stemmed Kaiserins. They grow
one large house for summer bloom. Car-
nations are very scarce and the demand

in a measure taken their place. There
has been an unusual amount of funeral
work all summer that has kept flowers
pretty thoroughly cleaned up. Shipping
trade has also kept up steadily, making
it altogether a busy summer, so much so
that it made it impossible for several to

CHICAGO,

The Market.

The local deinaiul the past week has
been limited to white stock and a very
moderate amount of material has suf-
ficed to satisfy the call. Ship])infj trade
has boon fair for the Kcason but it has
been a hard proposition for the whole-
salers. Stock with quality to make it
come up to the requirements of the out-of-
town trade has been and is very scarce.
Beauties of fair grade are quite plenti-
ful, most of the young stock being just
on with the first crop, but other roses of
shipping grade are hard to find. . Brides
of good length of stem are desirable
property and bringing profitable prices.
Few Kaiserins are to l)e had. Other
roses are in less demand.

The recent heavy rains have damiacd
all outdoor stock, particularly carnations
and Usable flowers are scarce, especialJy
white. Sweet peas are practK-ally out of
it. -Asters are very plentiful and thoro
is considerable waste on this item. (Jia-
flioli are also abundant and largely i!se<i.
The best hardly bring over 3 cents.
Dahlias of good quality are appeann?,'.
Small receipts of valley suflSce to make
this item appear plentiful, for fhere js
little call for it. No order ;oi- !iv(X'n
goods goes unsatisfied.

Various Notes.

H. Bauske says he sees little good rose
stock in sight and lays it to the wide
variations in temperature, some days, like
last Sunday, being very hot, followed by
nights so cool that iSres seem almost
a necessity. He does not look for good,
dean stock to be as abundant as usual
<*arly in the fall.

The town was full of convention visit-
ors Sunday and for several days this
week, among them President Breitmeyer,
who found time to call on Edgar San-
ders. He was accompanied by Mrs.

age and had been ill since Christmas, at
which time he was taken to the City
Hospital for an operation for an ab-
cess, from which he never recovered.
After five weeks in the hospital he re-
turned home but was confined to his bed

Longfellow beans, from present indi-
cations, are likely to be a short crop.

Nothing is being added to the pea crop
by the revised reports from the growing
sections.

Bean crops in New York state are
said to be looking better than those of
Michigan.

Sixty per cent, as compared with last
year's crop, is thought to be the right
estimate of the onion sets that will be
available for shipping this year,

BowMANViLLE, Ills., now a part of
Chicago, besides being the home of the
largest truck farmer in the west, is likely
to soon be known as the largest mush-
room growing center.

The prospect for a bean crop remains
unchanged. The pods of Wardwell's are
not filling well. This fault, although
characteristic of this variety, is more
noticeable this year than ordinarily, and
is likely to shorten the crop considerably.

A correspondent would be glad to
hear from anyone having particular
knowledge of onion set growing, the
reason why one part of an onion set bed
is ready to harvest and another part of
the same bed, sown the same day, with
the same lot of seed, stands green and
unmatured.

The weather of the past week has
been unfavorable for the sweet corn,
melon and cucumber crops. Ordinarily
the third and fourth weeks of August
show a very "marked gain in the growth
of com and a rapid setting of the fruits
on the cucumber and melon vines. Ac-
cording to general reports this has not
been the case this year and, in the opinion
of many of the growers, there is little
chance that the present deficiency will be
made up during the remaining weeks of
the growing season.

NOT THE SAME KIND.

The anxious mother rings up what she
thinks is the day nursery tO' ask for some
advice as to her child. She asks the
central for the nursery, and is given Mr.
Gottfried Gluber, the florist and tree
dealer. The following conversation en-
sues:

"I called up the nursery. Is this the
nursery?"

' ' Yes, ma 'am. ' '

"I am so worried about my little
Eose. ' '

"Vat seems to be der madder?"

"Oh, not so very much, perhaps, but
just a general listlessness and lack of
life. ' '

"Ain'd growing righd, eh?"

"No, sir."

"Veil, I dell you vat you do. You
dake der skissors und cut off apoud two
inches vrom der limbs, und — "

"Wha-a-at?"

"I say, dake der skissors und ciit off
apoud two inches vrom der limbs, und
den turn der garten hose on for apoud
four hours in der morning — "

"Wha-a-at?"

' ' Turn der garten hose on for apoud
four hours in der morning, und den pile
a lot of plack dirt all around, und
shpringle mit insegt powter all ofer der
top—"

"Sir-r-r?"

"Shpringle mit insegt ])owter all ofer
der top. You know usually id is nod-
dings but pugs dot — "

"How dare you? What do you mean
by such language ? ' '

"Noddings but pugs dot chenerally
causes der troubles; und den you vant to
va.sh der rose mit a liguid breparations
I haf for sale — "

" Who in the world are you, anywav? ' '

' ' Gottfried Gluber. der florist. ' '

' ' O-o-oh ! ' ' weakly. ' ' Good-by ! ' '—
Buffalo Express.

' * The Review has been a welcome vis-
itor the past year; it is very instructive,
just what every florist ought to have."

CHEAP GREENS.

Cannot one of your many expert con-
tributors give some information anent
florists' greens! I do not mean smilax,
Sprengen, asparagus, ferns, selaginella,
etc., which we all know about more or
less (especially less), but about some
greens that can be grown in odd corners
or under benches so that they do not oc-
cupy valuable glass space and are there-
fore cheap? Customers are constantly
asking for some green that can be

thrown in," so that this demand is
^lly a tax. I recollect when living in
Paris some forty odd years ago, that all

the bouquets and designs in the florists'
windows were made up with abundance
of green; in fact, in Germany, France
and Italy flowers in any form are not
regarded as tasteful and complete with-
out an abundance of green. This is more
the case on the continent, where the
sunny skies resemble our own, than in
London, where the bright colors of
flowers are a greater relief in the dark,
leaden days. Cannot some true lover of
the florists' art help us out? I have
Scott's Manual but that says nothing on
the subject applicable to my wants, I
have two faults to find with Scott's
Manual; it is so good that there is not
enough of it, and there ought to be some
blank pages at the beginning or end
for maJdng notes for future reference.
I have had my copy rebound with blank
pages inserted. A, B.

The Market.

Business has been very good during
the past week and at the present time
things look very favorable. Funeral
work was the cause of the increased de-
mand. The long dry spell has at last
been broken, but the damage caused by
the lack of rain for such a long time has
been considerable and has resulted in
much loss to many florists.

The supply of all kinds of cut flowers
is light. While the cut of short-stemmed
roses is increasing, there are but few
long ones, not nearly enough to supply
the demand. Long-stemmed Kaiserins
are in good demand at high prices.
Beauties are coming in fine shape. They
seem to be doing very well with many
grown this year. Some as long as thirty
inches are being cut and bring $2.50 per
dozen. Shorter grades are in good sup-
ply and sell well. Other red roses are
not very plentiful and those that do
come in are of poor quality.

There is not much change in the car-
nation market. There is an increase in
the supply of field-grown blooms, but
long-stemmed flowers are very scarce. A
very few are being cut from plants that
have been left in the houses over sum-
mer, and their quality is very fair, but
aside from that there are none. Some
very good asters are to be had and bring
good figures, but by far the majority of
the stock coming in is of an inferior
quality. Even at that they sell well and
white ones especially are not equal to the
demand. Gladioli are moving better.

The supply is about the same as last re-
ported but the demand for them is much
better. Some very fine ones are seen.
Tuberoses are in good supply and sell
reasonably well. The scarcity of other
white flowers proved of benefit in mov-
ing them. Green goods are the same as
last reported.

Various Notes.

The Hamilton County fair that was
held at Oakly last week brought out a
lively competition between three of our
florists. The main exhibitors were Henry
Schwarz, J. F, Conger and George & Al-
lan. In the best single design, some
very nice work was exhibited. H,
Schwarz was first, George & Allan sec-
ond and J, F, Conger third. The prizes
were all worth winning and the exhibi-
tion as a whole was much better than one
expects to see at a fair.

Fred Gear has gone to 'St. Louis to
have a look at the Fair. W, H, Gear
has just returned from a visit at M)t.

ST. PAUL.

A Heavy Storm.

Saturday night, August 20, this city
was visited by a tornado which uprooted,
broke and split hundreds and hundreds of
the largest and finest shade trees in all
parts of our city. Whole blocks were
covered with them and also with broken
telegraph wires, poles, bricks from fallen
chimneys, etc. In the business district
the number of smashed plate glass front
windows will reach into thousands. As
a matter of course, the fiorists suffered a
great loss. E. F. Lemke has one house
entirely destroyed and so has Henry
Puvogel, His place looks simply awful;
not only glass and rafters went up in the
air, but the frame with heavy posts were
moved by the fierce storm, W, Fleisch-
er 's large brick chimney came down, fall-
ing across the office and smilax house,
making a total wreck of it, C. Hansen,
on Dale and Como streets, lost his ele-
vated rose house and a lot of glass. From
the rest I could not get any information,
as all phones are out of order.

I if*: en thousand squi-e feet of glass
were smashed by the storm at the green-
houses of August Swansou at Merriam
Park. A large brick chinuirv and win*.!
mill were blown down and the roofs of
the greenhouses were also carried away,
Mr. Swanson estimates his loss at fully
$3,000.

The tornado was accompanied with
hail and a big cloudburst, transforming
all lower streets and places into lakes and
rivers inside of ten minutes. Some of our
parks suffered greatly and it will take
many years to have all these trees re-
placed in same size and shape. This is
the first experience of its land for St.
Paul in its fifty years' experience, and
we trustfully hope it will not return for
the next fifty years to come,

C. BUSSJAEOER.

Saginaw, Mich.— Henry W. F. Goetz
has returned from a trip to Hinsdale,
111., accompanied by a bride. Mr. Goetz
is a son of J. B, Goetz and was for
a time employed by Bassett & Wash-
bum at Hinsdale, where he met Miss
Hermine Miller. The wedding was Aug-
ust 11.

Review and always find much informa-

NURSERY NEWS.

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF NURSERYMEN.

Free., E. W. Klikpatnck, McKioney, Tex.;
Vlce-Pres., C. L. Watrous. Des Molnea; Secy,
OfO. C. Seager, Rocheuter; Treas.. C. L. Yates,
Rochester. The 2yih annual convention will be
held at West Baden, Ind., June, 1U05.

The cornuses nearly all do well in
shady situations.

The liquidambar and the white oak are
two large trees which do well in low.,
damp places.

The nursery industry in the United
States represents an investment of near-
ly $60,000,000.

The demand for the better grade of
stock, both fruit and ornamentals, is
steadily on the increase.

There are 16,000,000 peach trees in
Georgia approaching the bearing stage,
and still planting goes merrily onward.

John Gee, foreman for the Robinson
nursery, Blooraington, III., fell from a
train near Joliet, 111., August 18, and was
severely injured.

William Gibbs, foreman of the Phoe-
nix Nursery Co., Bloomington, 111., has
made an extended visit to Arizona, Utah
and Colorado this season.

The osmanthus is an uncommon hardy
evergreen which deserves to be more
widely planted. The foliage resembles
the holly, though smaller and not so
stiff, and it transplants easily.

The American Pomological Society
has appointed committees to make a
study of the various phases of fruit
growing for which special advantages are
afforded by the exhibits at the World's
Fair. The work of the commitees will
be published in pamphlet form.

Mansfield, Pa. — Mrs. Robert Cross-
ley has a fine business and 16,000 feet
of glass. Carnations are largely grown,
with some roses, palms, ferns and bed-
ding stock. Considerable space is also
given to lettuce.

Anoka, Minn. — Hail at 4 o'clock on
the morning of August 21 broke 600
lights of 16x16 double strength glass in
the greenhouse of the Pratt-Ford Com-
pany. The houses were just planted to
carnations and the stock was cut up quite
badly. The Kimball greenhouses lost
about 400 lights. Carnation plants looked
fine in this section and those which es-
caped the hail give excellent promise.

TORONTO.

The Market.

Trade during the last few weeks has
been a considerable improvement over
July and it would look as though the fail
business, which usually commences in
September, had made itself felt in Au-
gust. During the last week there has
been a large amount of funeral work, and
this may have had considerable to do with
the improvement of business. All kinds
of floweis are very scarce, especially roses
and carnations. Good white asters are
scarce. Sweet peas of good quality find
ready sale and gladioli have also moved
fairly well during last week, while what
few dahlias are coming into the market
are picked up at once.

The weather has been very much
against outdoor stock, as the continual
rain has had a very injurious eflfect on
blooms in developing. Should the weath-
er dry up and we get good September
weather there should be a big stock of
asters and other outdoor flowers, as the
season has been very favorable for growth
of plants.

Various Notes.

The Toronto delegates who were at
Ottawa convention seem to have settled
down again to the regular routine of
business, notwithstanding the severe
sbiikipg up they received at the hands of
the eastern men before they got away
from Ottawa on that memorable Thuis-
day night. The Toronto boys all look
back on the Ottawa convention as the
best yet and intimate that if the Mon-
treal convention next year beats it those
at the head of affairs will have to keep
moving.

H. G. Dillemouth, manager of Dunlop 's
store, is back to business, after his vaca-
tion, looking hale and hearty.

We understand that Miss Miller, daugh-
ter of F. C. Miller, of Miller & Sons,
Bracondale, is about to open a store on
C<jllege street.

J, H. Cobb, of Peterboro, was a visitor
to the city during the week. D. J.

DENVER.

Business has been verj- quiet during
the past two months, but is now assum-
ing an air of activity, partially perhaps
because there are a few good things now
comiug into market. There has been an
enormous lot of common outdor stuff
v.'liich finds but little market. Mauli and
the Park Floral Co. have been ".uttiug
Beauties, for the past month, which are
veiy creditable for the time of year and
are now finding a ready sale. Mauff is
also cutting a few Queen of Edgely and
thinks a lot of it, Benson has heeu cut-
ting carnations almost the whole sum-
mer from his new houses. They were
planted out in the spring on solid benches
and later on a new roof put over them.
This mode of culture has always proven
very satisfactory out here, the principal
advantage being a fairly long stem from
the start and a fresh-looking, good-
coloied flower entirely different to those
cut from field-grown plants at the same
time.

Several of the growers have been add-
ing to their establishments the past sum-
mer and a general improvement has kept
the progressive ones busy. All are look-
ing forward to and preparing for a pros-
perous season. Some of the sanguine
ones aie going into it pretty hearty.
Perhaps the satisfactory business of last
season makes the coming one look propi-
tious. Hall, Davis Bros., Benson and
Brinkert have all nearly completed their
additions. The latter has increased his
carnation capacity by 10,000 feet and is
now ready for housing.

Ben Boldt, while not adding to his
greenhouse capacity at Mud Lake, is mak-
ing considerable improvement. His new
wagon, while an elephant in capacity, is
a beauty in appearance and a credit to
any floral establishment. It is destined
to haul the bulk of his plants to the re-
tailers in the city and is well equipped
for that purpose.

The majority of the florists who have
been out of the city seeking recreation
are now back and in harness. Mr. Valen-
tine has just returned from the conven-
tion and speaks very highly of its suc-
cess.

Tlic Park Floral Co. bowling contest
terminated on the first of the present
month. R. S. Mahan was the winner of
the trophy, having made the highest in-
crease from the first of January, when the
contest started. Mr. Mahan is proprietor
of the Alpha Floral Co., a comparatively
new member of the profession, and an
enthusiast in bowling matters. He in-
creased his bowling average in the tour-
nament from 124 per game to 154. The
following were the successful winners by
months: January, Frank Fraser; Feb-
ruary, Harry Betz ; March, R. S. Mahan ;
April, Harry Betz; May, J. A. Valen-
tine ; June, John Berry ; July, Chas. Ben-
son. Great Divide.

GENTI.KMKN : — I havc been much
pleased with the behavior of a trial lot of
" Indianapolis" sent me last Spring.

Owing to a wet season it was neces-
sary to house very early when the plants
were small: however, this treatment
seemed to suit them exactly for they
made rapid growth and have been
magnificent plants all winter.

The habit is ideal, stems extra long
and of a nature to carry the flower
gracefully.

Prom what our customers say of its
color and Iceeping qualities, together
with my experience with its blooming
qualities, I should recommend it as a
flrst-class commercial variety. I might
add that cuttings produced are sturdy
and root easily. Very truly yours,

The Weekly Florists*

August 25, 1904.

PITTSBURG.

The Market

Trade is about the same as last report,
except "more so." The boys, however,
are getting used to it, and one retkiler
thought it a joke that he did not have a
single sale one day last week. Stock
continues generally poor. Carnations
have entirely disappeared except outdoor
stock, which is of no use on account of
the numerous rains.

Various Notes.

We have had many hailstorms in this
vicinity during the past week. Some
sections report hail as large as Walnuts,
but there has been no report of losses.
However, on August 17 it was so heavy
at Millvale that the men at Patrick
Maier's ran out of the houses feeling
sure that they were doomed.

Ernest Zieger is at home from his trip
to Iowa, feeling much improved in
health, but with large ideas about the
west. If you know Ernest, get him to
tell you about the corn.

The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. is get-
ting some fine Kaiserin and Chatenay
roses from Fred Burki, at Bakerstown.

There is a small building boom in this
section. Geo. A. McWilliams, of Na-
trona, is putting up three new houses,
each 25x300. He says that you can bet
these are above high water mark; one
flood is enough for him. Mrs. E. A.
Williams is also rebuilding most of her
houses, as well as making some addi-
tions.

While the veteran, Chas. T. Siebert,
has been confined to his room the past
two weeks, he has verified the title of
"the sleepless and restless florist" by
rushing the erection of his new store,
corner Beatty and Baum streets, east
end. There are to be many new fea-
tures in this store, which we will tell you
about when it is finished.

While there are many rumors every
week of new commission houses starting
here, it seems an assured fact that J. B.
Murdoch & Co. will open this fall. That
will make three wholesale cut flower
houses for this city. I guess that will
hold them for a while. Hoo-Hoo.

Sioux City, Ia. — J. C. Rennison has
started a new house, 35x265, for carna-
tions.

ThcWcckly Florists' Review*

August 25, 1904.

BOILER AND PIPING.

Please tell me the number of feet of
1^/4 -inch pipe to heat two houses 16x50
feet and one 20x30, each nine feet to
ridge, with three-foot side walls? Houses
are all connected. The boiler is thirty
inches wide and ten feet long, with
twenty-one 3-inch tubes. Is it large
enough? J. L.

To maintain a temperature of 60 de-
grees in your houses during the coldest
weather will require for the house 20x30
fifteen runs of 1^4 -inch pipe, or better,
fourteen runs of 1^-inch and a 2i^-inch
overhead flow pipe, using the 1^4 -inch
pipes as returns. For each of the houses
16x50 there should be a 2-inch over-
head flow pipe and twelve runs of 1^4-
inth as returns. Part of these returns
should be supplied with valves so that
they may be turned off in case it is de-
sirable to run one house at a lower tem-
perature than the others. Not more than
two-thirds of the boiler capacity will be
required to heat the present range. Six
square feet of grate surface will be re-
quired for hard coal, and four square
feet for soft coal. An expansion tank
of at least twenty gallons capacity will
be necessary, and should, if possible, be
connected at the highest point in the
system. L. C. C.

KANSAS QTY.

Slock is about the same. Roses are
very small and carnations are very short-
stemmed, most of them being cut in the
field. American Beauties are scarce.

John H. Vesey is cutting some nice
long-ftemmed dahlias that he is growing
Inside.

R. S. Brown & Son are cutting some
good asters and eanna flowers.

Kansas City florists who went to the
convention and to see the Pike were W.
L. Rock, Arthur Newell, Albert Barbe
and Samuel Murray, Miss Alma Beeler
and Mrs. Ellsworth, of Geo. M. Kellogg 's
letail store.

Mrs. Fannie L. Brittain has returned
from an eastern trip of six weeks.

Mr. and Mrs. Ed. A. Humfeld have re-
turned from a trip throughout Colorado,
looking fine.

aame to your Boilers ; no effort at all to keep
the temi>erature at desired points when sero
weather comes. Night after nlsht the past se-
vere winter weather gave your Boiler a good
test. We are more than pleased with the Su-

VASE ARRANGEMENTS- II.

Gladioli.

"Why a stone jar should be considered
the best receptacle for this particular
style of flowers is not apparent at first
thought. Why not a rose bowl, a deli-
cately tinted china dish, or a slender
crystal vase? In the first place the in-
florescence of the gladioli necessarily
means weight where any number of the
flowers are used. Therefore we must
have something which not only has the
appearance of weight, but actually is
heavy enough to counterbalance the top-
heavy stalks. Never put any arrange-
ment of flowers and vase before people
which will make them uncomfortable or
nervous, as a delicate vase might do if
filled with long, heavy flower stalks,
tempting a destructive breeze.

Such flowers as gladioli, hydrangeas,
hollyhocks, dahlias ,or chrysanthemums
and other large, robust flowers, nat-
urally adapt themselves to a rustic set-
ting, as is at least suggested my this
use of a stone pitcher as a receptacle.
Then, too, the color of this particular
jar is a dark brown, which is a good
setting for the pinkish creams and yel-
lows of the gladiolus flowers. A per-
fect gladiolus stalk hasn't a very de-
cided curve; neither has our stone jar.
The lines of the flower stalks can grow
from the lines of the dish without any
very abrupt change, so we find harmony
of form.

The ease with which this union of lines
between the flower stalks and the recep-
tacle can take place, depends upen the
quantity put into the vase. Too many
crowded in would make the lines unnat-
urally straight, while too few would play
at right angles with each other. Two
dozen was the number used in this pitch-
er of about five inches in diameter, with
the grass and extra foliage, the latter
feature with the shadow effect around the
top of the vase making a — well, some-
thing otherwise than so many stalks in
a dish, soda fountain straws-in-a-glass
fashion. By the few over-hanging flower
stalks, and the extra foliage, deep shad-
ows are cast over the rim of the pitcher,
thus blending the lines of the pitcher
■with the lines of the flower stalks, and
making them one, which is the secret of
correct vase arrangements.

Find the receptacle, the lines and form
of which can be continued into the
lines of the flower stalks most easily,
and you have found the proper recep-
tacle. If you find this a somewhat diffi-
cult task, make shadows, as is done
here. If then you cannot accomplish
your purpose, they do not properly be-
long together. After a little practice in
this line, your eye will do the work of
hands and eyes too, and you will be able
to accept or reject a receptacle on sight.
Ahe shadow softens the hard look of the
8ton& and helps the harmony with the
flowers, half of the beauty and depth of

which are in the effect of light and
shade.

It will be observed that the central
part of the bunch is carried to a greater
height by pulling a stalk or two out
above the bouquet. Fill in the space
left vacant with extra foliage or stems.
Use broken or hanging stalks like those
on the left of t)ie vase sparingly; other-
wise it will become a disagreeable man-
nerism. Other devices of relief can be
invented, like a simple spray lying flat
at the base of the vase or a creeping bit
of foliage around or off from the vase.
But let none of them be everyday in-
dulgences. Have a wandering line or
two in all of your vase arrangements,
but don't use the same material repeat-
edly.

Here are introduced the soft grasses
as relief. Other means to the same end
would be the use of other endogenous

except in the heart of the cities. Edu-
cate taste by an occasional display ' of
this kind in your window. As a matter
of fact the artistic points of a corn stalk
are seldom excelled. There is nothing
that grows but has its beauty, but thei
difficult part for us is to become able to
find the proper place for it in our por-
tion of the decorative world.

Gertrude Blair.

ROSES.

Cutting and Packing.

The cutting of blooms, their care and.
treatment previous to shipment, and the
method of packing them carefully so
that they may reach their destination in
good shape, is a matter which nearly
concerns every grower and which should
ba made a special study by the youn^i'
brethren.

In taking the cut special care should
be given to leave the most suitable eyes,
so that a future crop of robust stems
may be assured. To take off the cut
neatly, so that a ragged, long-sliced, un-
sightly stump may not be left, it is
necessary to have a well sharpened
knife or pair of scissors. Personally I
prefer the scissors, as if they are kept
in good order and properly handled they
leave a neater and smaller wound.

I hav^ often wondered why some

Gladioli in a Stone Jar.

foliage, or grain stalks with the gladioli.
As far as a fine effect is concerned, noth-
ing could be more beautiful than the ad-
dition of some corn tassels and silk with
such a bunch. But feel your customers'
breadth of art instinct first. Purely
rustic beauty seems to go unappreciated

growers, who are careful in most other
respects, run the risk of injuring the
prospects of a future crop by compelling
their help to take off the morning cut
by the light of a lantern when it is im-
possible for even the keenest sighted
to select the proper eye at which to cut.

ThcWcckly Fk^iste* Rc\^.

Sbptbhbeb 1, 1904.

Questioning one grower, he gave as his
reason that he wanted to get his cut
before the blooms were heated by the
sun, as they keep so much better when
cut in the cool of the morning. I, how-
ever, noticed that he did not scruple to
cut at any hour of the afternoon, even
when the blooms' had been exposed to a
hot sun all day, and ship within tho hour.

This system must have appeared very
inconsistent to intelligent help and would
be apt to leave the impression that the
employer was trying to get an hour or
so from his help gratis.

As soon as possible after the cut is
taken the stems should be immersed in
water, which should reach well up the
stem. The temperature of the water
should be very little below the tempera-
ture of the house from which the roses
were cut.

The blooms should be assorted into
different grades, according to length and
quality of stem, having due regard to

size, shape and color of the flowers. As
there is at present no uniform method
for classifying the different grades, each
grower has to study the demands of his
market and grade accordingly.

The cut should then be placed in the
cool room, which should have a tempera-
ture of not less than 48 degrees, many
growers preferring 50 to 52 degrees as
the ideal. Well grown stock treated at
any of the above temperatures can be
shipped with perfect safety twenty-four
hours after cutting.

Next to care in, packing, so that no
necks may be broken, comes neatness
and cleanliness. How pleasant it is to
open a box in which the blooms have
been carefully packed, in well fitting,
unsoiled paper. It gives a fresh, crisp
appearance to even inferior blooms, while
the finest selected stock can be given a
trashy look by slovenly packing with
soiled material. Eibes.

MISCELLANEOUS
SEASONABLE HINTS.

Poinsettias.

In last week's issue is published a
prize essay delivered at Hull, England, on
the poinsettia. We think the prize was
awarded quite as much for its literary
excellence as for the value of its cultural
directions. Perhaps those who followed
its directions to the letter would not go
far wrong, yet being British, there are
some points in it that would be unneces-
sary to follow in this country. Growing
a plant from June to December and when
six feet high cutting off the top to ob-
tain a plant one foot in height seems a
laborious and expensive method. True,
plants propagated in June and given
the very lightest house will run up four
or five feet high. These early propa-
gated plants are, however, with u? used
for cutting, and if planted out in a bed
of five or six inches of soil give im-
mense width of bracts. Cuttings put in
the sand in early August and not neglect-
ed for either heat or nourishment at the
roots will make fine plants fifteen to
eighteen inches in height in 5-inch pots
by Christmas, as has been frequently said
in these columjis.

Th^ single plant of poinsettia, how-
ever well grown, is no longer in very good
demand with us. It is the pan eight to
twelve inches in diameter that has much
the better sale, and for this purpose, if
pans containing from six to ten plants
and not over twelve inches in height are
desired, you can put in a batch of cut-
tings now, but plants that are now in 2-
inch pots will make stronger plants and
finer bracts. In making up the pans se-
lect for each pan plants of uniform
height and strength. The pans won 't be
all alike at flowering time, and they need
not be, but each pan will be perfect in
itself.

Beferring to that well written paper
again, if you wanted only one batch of
cuttings, then you could cut with a heel,
but you would get no more cuttings from
that break. We want to put in successive
batches of cuttings throughout the sum-
mer and the heel is not necessary. Of

course it would not be British unless the
formula for the compost was most elab-
orate and contained half a dozen in-
gredients. All that is nonsense. A good,
fresh, rather heavy loam, with a fourth
of half -rotten cow manure is all that is
needed, and for the 5 or 6-inch pots a
crock and piece of green moss to keep
the drainage free.

It seems the propagating case or little
house inside a house is still in vogue in
England in propagating such free root-
ing, simple things as the poinsettia. The
idea is to keep the atmosphere close, pre-
vent evaporation and then there is need
of little water. This country 's method is
much more simple and less expensive.
Insert the cuttings in the sand as you
would those of coleus. Keep them shad-
ed and water copiously twice a day and
you will not lose a cutting. When first
potted off, which should be as soon as the
roots are half an inch long, they want
to be kept moist at the roots and well
shaded. But directly they get hold of
the soil, and to the end of their exist-
ence, they want the fullest, brightest
light, with all the air that can be given
them during warm weather.

Frames, either with sash or without,
are dangerous places for these plants.
Nothing like a bench in your houses,
where neglect is inexcusable. With the
exception of these few points, the "prize
essay" is excellent and in concluding re-
marks on this showy plant, let me repeat
that the falling of the foliage is more
often due to starvation of the root than
low temperature, and never disturb the
roots, either by a shift or making up the
pans, later than the last week in Octo-
ber. They won 't stand for it and we have
proved it.

Zonal Geraniuftas.

I said early in August, don 't propa-
gate until September. The time is now
here. Much will depend upon how plen-
tiful a stock you have to take cuttings
from and how many plants you need.
If you have an abundance of stock and
can take off at one time all the young

stock you require, then there is no hurry
for two weeks more. We sometimes get
a very hot spell about the middle of Sep-
tember and it is when the weather is hot
and you have to keep the cuttings well
watered that trouble begins and they go
off by the thousands with what we call
the black rot. We all know it. It is
caused, I suppose, by the cellular tissue
of these succulent cuttings absorbing so
much water that the cells burst and decay
and death ensues.

If you are short of a variety, or all
varieties, then begin at once, for if judi-
tiously cut you will before frost get an-
other batch of excellent cuttings. With
us geraniums are more than usually suc-
culent this year, through the frequent
rains, which makes them all the more
risky to root. Get a bench full of fresh,
sifted loam, not too sandy, and mix it
with a fifth or sixth of sifted, rotten
manure. Eabust-growing varieties wrill
need a 2% -inch pot. Less vigorous kinds
may do in a 2-inch.

Cut the cuttings just below a joint.
Never mind what has been said about the
non-value of cutting at a joint. The tex-
ture of the cutting is less sappy there
than between joints. Pot firmly. This is
one of the most important points. Don 't
thumb the surface, but get your thumb
And finger down as a wedge to make the
soil firm around the bottom of the cutting.
If you have a spare bench in a light
house, there is no better place; if not,
a cold frame outsidb does very well. A
thorough watering when first potted is
most important. Watering after that un-
til they are rooted is pure judgment.
They may want another watering again
in three or four days and, if the weather
is dull and cool, they may not want the
soil wet again in a week. Don't water
them until the soil is again what the
gardener calls "on the dry side." On
bright mornings a light spraying that
will wet the leaves but not the soil is
most beneficial. Little if any shade is
needed after the first week and only in
the brightest hours.

We prefer to put all zonal geraniums
into pots, in which they remain without
a shiff until after the rush of the holi-
days. They make short-jointed, stocky
plants, much to be preferred to plants
rooted in sand. The scented-leaved, tri-
color and ivy-leaved sections we like bet-
ter to root in the sand in .the ordinary
way, but there is no hurry about that un-
til toward the end of September.

Bouvardias.

The first week of September should see
these plants on the bench. They are,
perhaps, not very profitable, neither are
they common of late years, and our cus-
tomers are looking for the uncommon
and you can get a good price for these
honeysuckle-like flowers. They lift bad-
ly if lifted carelessly. If the ground is
dry and you think you are going to leave
a lot of their working fibres in the
ground, soak it the night before. You
must get all the roots. Plant them one
foot apart on the bench, closer if the
plants are small, in five inches of soil.
Wet the soil thoroughly after planting
and syringe three or four times a day. or
as long as any wilting takes place. This
is a plant that enjoys a good syring-
ing every day in the year, for it is very
liable to be infested with red spider.

Shade, of course, is necessary until
the plants are rooted in their new sur-
roundings. If you pinched these plants
a few weeks ago they will need it no
more, but if that was not done and the

growths are few but long, shorten back
the growths a few inches, as soon as you
get them planted, or, better still, as
soon as they get hold of the soil on the
bench.

Sweet Peas.

These are now one of our important
winter flowers and at some large estab-
lishments they are produced from Thanks-
giving until the flowery month of June. If
you have a bench vacant now the seed
can be sown at once, two or three in a
group, six or eight inches apart, and the
rows across the bench eighteen inches
apart. Five inches of soil on the bench
or a ground bed is enough. If too much
soil, there is a great tendency to grow
and not flower. At each group of plants
let a string run up, just as you would
for smilax, only a stronger string and
six or seven feet long. Two plants to a
string is enough. Keep all bottom and
lateral growth pinched off and from
the original growth you will soon pick
flowers and continue to pick for perhaps
two months. To have good peas continu-
ously from, say, December 1 to June 1,
several successive sowings are necessary.

We don't all have vacant beds in the
months of September and October, yet
later, when the mums are thrown out,
we do and sweet peas come in well to
occupy the bench after early chrysan-
themums, so instead of sowing on the
bench now, you can sow three or four
seeds in a 3-inch pot and keep them in a
frame out of doors until planting time.
A very slender stick will support the lit-
tle vines until the bench is ready for
them. You don't need much variety.
The white and pink, the pure white, the
daybreak pink and lavender are the de-
sired shades. A night temperature of
48 to 50 degrees suits sweet peas in win-
ter time, WiLUAM Scott.

WITH BOSTON GROWERS.

Farqiihar & G)., Roslindale.

B. & J. Farquhar & Co. have a very
compact greenhouse plant and nursery
at Boslindale, about eight miles from
their seed store. In addition they have
an additional forty acres at Sharon for
growing stock and seed testing. The
greenhouses are roomy and stock of all
kinds looks well. Outdoors fine blocks
of choice conifers were noted, including
an extra fine lot of Picea pungens, Sci-
adopitys verticillata, retinosporas in va-
riety, thuyas, etc. Khododendrons
looked well and were well budded. Large
quantities of all the more popular hardy
herbaceous perennials are grown, an in-
creasing demand for them being noted.

Indoors one large house is devoted to
palms, kentias predominating. All
looked well. Araucarias, Boston ferns
and the variety Piersoni and small ferns
for dishes are grown In quantity. Gloire
de Lorraine begonia has always been
■well done here; thousands of plants
yarying from those in 8-inch and 10-
mch pans to cuttings just potted were
noted, and all had a luxuriant appear-
ance. Plants to retail in flower at $1
are the most in demand. Cyclamens are
mrgely grown and are good sellers.
Dahlias in all the best imported varie-
ties are to be seen in thousands In
frames, making nice pots of tubers,
^rape vines such as Muscat of Alexan-
dria, Black Hamburg, Madresfield Court
and other popular forcing kinds are
^own in hundreds. Messrs. Farquhar
find an increasing demand for these and

now grow their own canes instead of
importing at fancy prices. What at-
tracted our attention most, however, was
the house of Farquhar 's Christmas lily
(Lilium Philippense). This is a wonder-
fully beautiful and graceful lily and
will make a sensation when introduced
in 1905.

W. W. Edgar, Waverley.
W. W. Edgar, of Waverley, is one of
the best plantsmen supplying the Bos-
ton market. At Easter time especially
his establishment is the Mecca for buy-
ers of well-grown plants. Nephrolepis
Bostoniensis is seen in various sizes,
many of specimen size. Piersoni is
grown, but is not found as good a seller
as the Boston fern. Palms are gradually
being dropped, a batch of Livistona ro-
tundifolia being the last to be carried.
Two large span houses are planted with
adiantums. A large part of one house
is devoted to Adiantum tenerum. The
handsome fronds of this variety com-
mand excellent prices. We noted a spec-
imen plant and many seedlings of a dis-
tinct adiantum named Edgarense, in the
way of cuneatum, but even better, we
thought, commercially. One house is de-
voted to Asparagus Sprengeri, for which
there is a constant demand. Genistas,
Acacia armata, Lorraine begonia, Cypri-
pedium insigne, poinsettias and cycla-
men are grown in quantity. The earliest
Lilium Harrisii were in pots in frames.
About 10,000 chrysanthemums are
grown, the favorites being Lady Fitz-
wygram, BonnafFon, Polly Eose, Ivory,

Shrimpton and Eaton. Everything about
Air. Edgar's place was neat.

E. N. Peirce & Co., Waltham.

A ten minutes' walk through Waver-
ley Oaks brings one to the large plant
of E. N. Peirce & Co., who are the larg-
est growers in the immediate vicinity of
Boston. We were especially fortunate
in finding the senior member of the firm
at home, whence he had come to take
part in the G. A. R. encampment. Mr.
Peirce 's ancestors settled near the pres-
ent location of his greenhouses in 1630,
and from that time to this all have been
farmers, and many have shouldered mus-
kets in the various wars in which the
United States has been engaged. Eles-
tra Nye Peirce enlisted as a minute man
in the Fifth Massachusetts (Minute
Men) April 15, 1861, rising to the rank
of lieutenant and serving until Febru-
ary 11, 1865, He was thrice wounded
during the war. He now holds a num-
ber of prominent posts in connection
with various branches of the G, A, R.
Although a full-fledged military man,
his neighbors still dub him "Farmer
Peirce."

The Waverley farm is now largely
under glass, tomatoes only being grown
as an outdoor crop. Lorillard is the only
variety grown in quantity and is used
exclusively indoors, a number of large
houses being planted with them after
carnations are pulled out; 17,000 are
also grown on wire frames outdoors. At
the time of our visit tomatoes were be-

ing pulled out and their places taken by
carnations. A new 300-foot house was
being planted with 7,000 Enchantress —
big, handsome plants. Walls of concrete
support all the benches, and tilQS in-
stead of board planks are used for the
bottoms. Some 50,000 carnations are
grown in all. Lawson still leads in its
color, but Mr. Peirce thinks Nelson
Fisher is a good thing, although he con-
siders the two very much alike. For
white, Boston Market is the favorite;
Wolcott split too badly. A batch of
2,000 Lady Bountiful is being tried and
a similar number of Mrs. M. A. Patten.
Mr. Peirce has strong hopes of Judge
Hinsdale, although the stock looks less
promising than other sorts. "The boys"
are dablsling in seedling raising, and
one bright scarlet with stem and flower
like Crane and Lawson habit was very
promising.

Chrysanthemums are largely grown
here, a number of 300-foot houses being
devoted to them. The annual cut is
about 75,000. Only a few sorts arc
grown. These include Mme. Bergmann,
Ivory, Polly Uose, Glory of Pacific, Bon-

naflfon, A. G. Balfour, Eaton, Mrs. Mur-
dock, Mrs. Coombes, Shrimpton and
Western King. A batch of 50,000 Lilium
Harrisii were potted for Christmas
trade. For Easter another 50,000 are
grown. A similar number of spiraeas
are grown for Decoration day trade.
Asparagus Sprengeri is pronounced a
good money maker. Several houses are
planted with it. Lily of the valley was
grown the past season, but will be
dropped.

A track system for moving pot plants,
compost, etc., is in service in all houses.
The establishment includes a complete
carpenter and blacksmith shop. All pip-
ing and greenhouse building is done by
employes, superintended by ' ' the boys, ' '
one of whom is a thorough mechanic.
After trying houses with both long and
short spans to the house, Mr. Peirce
thinks an even span suits him about the
best, although he cannot quite have such
on his side hill. The establishment of
E. N. Peirce & Co. is a good example of
indoor "farming" and a credit to its
founder. W. N. Craig.

TAKING THE BUDS.

Please let me know which buds to
take, and when, on the following varie-
ties: Chadwick, Merry Christmas,
Grolden Beauty, October Sunshine, Eaton,
Appleton, Mrs. Jerome Jones, Ivory,
White Bonnaffon and Eobinson?

J. A. K.

The first bud that J. A. K. can see
on his plants is now perfectly safe to
take and will develop all right. When
we get into September there is no longer
any fear of taking buds too early, any
buds, whether crown or terminal, coming
perfect. If J. A. K. wishes to keep
Merry Christmas and Chadwick for late
flowers he can do so by waiting for the
terminal buds. The bud question was
discussed at length in a very recent
issue. Brian Boru.

SOME NOVELTIES.

"Coming events cast their shadows
before, ' ' and the shadows that are al-
ready being cast by the growth of some
of the novelties are sufficient to indicate
that there will be some fun by and by.
The chief charm of the chrysanthemum is
its infinite variety and, as the years roll
around, each with its quota of new kinds
added to the list, we have a variety,
both in form and colors, that is unap-
proached by any other species of flower-
ing plant. The Wells-Pockett varieties
will naturally occupy first place in the
list, as the adaptibility of their prede-
cessors leads us to conclude that the
present list will be equally useful. There
are eight varieties in the Wells list, seven
of which we are testing, as follows:
I>ora Stevens, J. H. Doyle, Merstham
Eed, Merstham Yellow, Mrs. H. A. Al
len, Mrs. J. A. Miller and Mrs. W.
Duckham.

Dora Stevens is a magnificent grower,
as heavy as Cobbold in foliage, and in
its color, a rosy cerise, will undoubtedly
rank high.

J. H. Doyle is also a very strong
grower, classed as a ten a cotta in color.
It is making a very fine growth in pots,
boxes and on the bench and probably
will be the king of the set, as it won
the gold medal in Melbourne from thir-
teen competitors.

Merstham Red and Merstham Yellow
are almost identical in growth, with a

dwarf, very neat habit and showing not
the slightest trace of disease. Merstham
Yellow is similar to Mrs. T. W. Pockett,
but moie massive. It will possibly be
too early for an exhibition flower, but
one can hardly tell the first year, as it
takes many kinds two years to settle
down and adapt themselves to the
changed conditions of a new climate.

Mrs. H. A. Allen is also of dwarf,
strong habit and as a reflexed pink will
find a prominent place. Pinks are
Wells' strong point. Last year we re-
ceived three from this source, Duckham,
Filkins and Cobbold, all of them very

"^fine, as the shows will later on bear wit-
ness, and as private advices report Mrs.
H. A. Allen as being an immense flower
I look for a record breaker in this va-
riety.

Mrs. W. Duckham reminds me much
of Alice Byron, with its dwarf, sturdy
foliage and neat, clean growth. Its
raiser states that it is a great improve-
ment on Cheltoni, that it is identical in
form, but much deeper in color. It may
be a better color, though it seems hard
to believe that any variety could improve
much on Cheltoni in its form, habit or
general excellence.

There are many varieties on hand
from other sources, one of which, Mrs.
S. Shaw, is a bronze sport from Mrs.

- E. Thirkell. It shows the same small,
insignificant foliage as Thirkell, but let
not the gentle reader who may happen
to be growing Thirkell for the first time
imagine from its appearance that it is
not worth much. Thirkell can be grown
large enough to beat any yellow in cul-
tivation today, and its bronze sport will
be assured of a large sale on that ac-
count alone. Brian Boru.

Fayetteville, N. C. — Jas. M. Lamb
reports a steady increase in the demand
for native bog-plants for export.

Chevy Chase, Md. — W. C. Brooke &
Co. report carnations doing finely. Ber-
nard Winkler is the grower at this es-
tablishment. F. B. Foot, the junior part-
ner, recently returned from a three weeks *
trip to New York and Boston, during
which he visited many growers.

CARNATION NOTES.-EAST.

Disbudding.

The term disbudding is used in ref-
erence to the removal of all surplus
growth from the flower stem, whether it
be young shoots or buds. It might be
generally supposed the only advantage to
be gained by the operation would be the
increase in size of bloom, but, though
this gain alone is sufficient to warrant
its being done, there are other benefits
to be derived from the practice. It is
well to consider these that we may fully
realize the importance of carrying this
work on at all times.

In no case is it possible for the main
bud to take on all the growth that would
have been made in the surplus growth

had it not been removed. Some will go
to strengthen the stem or increase its
length; a portion will be used by the
lower shoots, which are to furnish later
blooms. The remainder, not used by the
main bud, is either stored up as a reserve
or increases the vigor of the whole plant.

Of course the increase in stiffness or
length of stem would hardly be noticed
in some varieties and to me is not of
such importance as the saving of energy
or increase of vigor. It is desirable to
make a comparison between disbudded
plants and those from which no growth
is removed by allowing a few plants to
grow at will. By daily observation the
advantages referred to can be readily
seen.

If disbudding is delayed too long there
will be no increase in size of flower, but
it does not follow that the earlier it is
done the larger will be the bloom; in
fact, if buds are removed before they

can be readily taken off, injury to stem
or foliage is apt to result. Both hands
are needed in the work, one to grasp the
stem, the other to remove the bud by a
side pull.

Some of the varieties recently sent out
require less disbudding than was the case
with older sorts. Perhaps in a few years
disbudding will be unnecessary except in
some varieties. This would not be sur-
prising when we consider the rapid
strides that have been made in carna-
tion culture during the past few years.

Tobacco Stems.

For the benefit of P. & P., who in-
quired last week as to the fertilizing
qualities of tobacco stems, the following
comparison is given, although, of course,
stems vary somewhat:

Stable manure contains ten parts nitro-
gen, tobacco stems forty-seven; stable
manure contains six parts phosphoric
acid, tobacco stems fourteen; stable ma-
nure contains thirteen parts potash, to-
bacco stems 120.

It is generally advised to rot the
stems in soil in preference to reducing
to ashes. Geo. S. Osborn.

CATTLEYA GASKELLIANA.

Several orchid importers are advertis-
ing, just at present, newly imported
plants of this fine cattleya and our illus-
tration presents a well flowered plant
carrying some twenty-seven or twenty-
eight flowers. C. Gaskelliana is grown
in quantity at Florham Farms, Madison,
N. J., and I am indebted to Mr. Her-
nngton for taking the picture. A batch
of several hundred plants of this variety
was a handsome sight in June and well
worth seeing.

C. Gaskelliana comes from Venezuela
and, though slightly paler generally than
the type of labiata, is still very beauti-
ful. Personally I always found it very
iree flowering and easy to handle. It is
generally classified as flowering in Au-

gust and September, but I have never
been able to keep established plants back
later than July, owing, I presume, to
the bright sunlight and warmth of early
summer. After flowering the plants
often make a blind growth in September
or later, but this does not deter them
from breaking out strongly shortly after
the new year. Grown in a basket sus-
pended from the roof, kept well watered
in the spring and not too heavily shaded,
C. Gaskelliana flowers well and grows and
increases wonderfully year after year.
It deserves a place in the front rank as
an all-round useful cattleya.

BEGONIA REX.

I have about 200 Begonia Eex with
good, strong root, which send forth
leaves, some growing to be a good size,
then begin to curl, turn brown at the
edges and drop off. I have them in my
propagating house, which is on the north
side of the rose house. Could it be pos-
sible the fumigation of the roses causes
this trouble? L. L. B.

"We have never noticed that ordinary
fumigation with tobacco hurt the be-
gonias, but a strong dose may injure
them. They don't need fumigation and
if you can't give them a bench where
there is no need of tobacco smoke, then
cover thoroughly with newspapers when
you have occasion to fumigate. If you
find this isn't the trouble, then remove
all the soil that will shake off without
losing any roots and repot, using one
part leaf-mold, one part well rotted ma-
nure and two parts fresh light loam.
Put them in a shaded house. Although
they need no spraying or wetting of the
leaves, they like a moist atmosphere.

EUCHARIS AMAZONICA.

Although little seen now in our Amer-
ican flower markets, Eucharis Amazon-
ica is a most excellent florists' flower,
flowering as it does twice or thrice a
year with a minimum of care if given
anything like rational treatment.

Those who may have a piece of bench
where they can command a brisk bot-
tom heat could secure two or three
crops of flowers a year by drying the
plants off some time before a crop is
needed. If a spare bench is not at
command, pot culture may be tried with
good results. Our illustration shows a
plant shown before the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society on August 13 by
Henry Wild, gardener to Mrs. A. W.
Blake, Brookline, Mass., which carried
thirty-one spikes of flower and was
awarded a silver medal for superior
culture. Mr. "Wild stated thatHhe same
plant carried a heavy crop of flowers
last February, also that he had plants
in both shady and sunny houses and
that all flowered equally well. For de-
sign work eucharis flowers have no su-
perior and the spikes are very effective
for room decoration. "W. N. Craig.

The following cultural notes are sup-
plied by Henry "Wild, of the A. "W. Blake
estate, Brookline, Mass.:

"In repotting eucharis, which is about
once in three years, we wash all the soil
away with the hose. The smaller bulbs
are taken out and potted quite thickly in
8-inch pots. After being grown along
for nine months, a top dressing of bone,
cow manure and loam is given. "When
the roots push through, the plants are fed
right along until they flower. As soon
as the flowers are cut the plants are re-
potted, and in some cases placed in tubs,
three pots to a tub. The compost used
is a mixture of coarse loam, cow manure,
bone meal, charcoal and sand. A porous
compost is desirable.

DEATH OF DEAN HOLE,

The Eev. S. Eeynolds Hole, dean of
Eochester since 1887, and for many years
president of the Rose Society of Great
Britain, died August 27 of heart trouble,
passing away while asleep.

Dean Hole was one of those genial
clergymen not seldom found among the
prelates of the Church of England who
combine with thorough ecclesiastic abil-
ity and sincerity a wide capacity for the
enjoyment of life. "With all his fondness
for outdoor life it was in his garden that
he found his greatest pleasure and the
successful cultivation of roses was the
thing for which he was most widely
known. His gardens at Rochesterj near
the cathedral, and at Caunton, where for
many years he was curate, were filled to
overflowing with roses which he loved
and cared for as if they had been his
children. In the preface to his '-'Book
About Roses," wMch ran through eigh-
teen editions and was translated several
times, he said:

"I write this book about roses be-
cause having grown them for more than

been one of the most active as well as
the most influential and best beloved
members of the Biitish Rose Society.

His "Book About Roses" has undoubt-
edly had a wider reading than any other
work on the subject.

Western New York.

We can easily stand a little more glass.
"Western New York at present appears
to me to be very attractive for the man
who wants to invest in glass, especially
if his capital is limited. There are
many nice little towns which by them-
selves can afford to support good sized
establishments, while any surplus can al-
ways be turned over to the stores or
commission men in the next big city. Of
transportation facilities there is no lack.
These remarks about more greenhouses
in western New York aie not so much
meant for the already large establish-
ments, but I rather believe that many a
smaller man or, better say, many a man
with a small place, can safely increase
his glass area. The small man has, and
I think always will have, as good a chance
to exist as the big fellow, as long as he
produces good stuff. "We all know it re-

thirty cups ' open to all England, ' having
originated the first rose show, and having
at most of the subsequent exhibitions
acted as judge or exhibitor, I ought to
have something to say worth hearing to
those who love the rose."

The dean was uorn in 1819 at Caun-
ton, Nottinghamshire, and was educated
at Newark-on-Trent and at Brasenose
college, Oxford. He was ordainea deacon
in 1844, priest in 1845, and vicar in 1850.
In 1885 he became chaplain to the arch-
bishop of Canterbury, and a year later
select preacher to the "University of Ox-
ford. In 1887 he assumeu his duties as
dean of Rochester.

His best efforts have been given to
the welfare of the rose and he has long

STATE VICE-PRESIDENTS' REPORTS.

Taken in the aggregate these reports are bo volaminous as to preclude their publl-

i cation in full. There are, however, many points in them of such great value or interest
as to warrant a careful consideration. The salient points of a number of the reports follow.

unless he receives it in first-class condi-
tion it is of little or no value to him. I
am a grower and speak from a growers'
standpoint. I do not approve of the
grower selling direct to the retailer, as
the wholesale man is our happy medium,
and we both, grower and retailer, need
him and should strive to protect him, but
flowers should be liandled as such and not
like hay. There is some extensive build-
ing going on in and south of Peoria,
which means more stock both in roses
and carnations for the St. Louis market
the coming season^ — J. F. Ammann.

Western Massachusetts.

The novel business, which originated
here in the beautiful Berkshire Mils, of
furnishing florists hardy supplies, has
steadily increased for the last twenty-five
years, until Hinsdale is known as the
center for that line of goods, which are
gathered from all the towns in the west-
ern part of the state, also from Vermont
and New York, there being several hun-
dred people employed in this line of in-
dustry, the goods being shipped to nearly
every city in the country, there being six
wholesale dealers besides many who are
in it on a smaller scale. The business has
become so extensive that certain parties
thought it best to have the legislature
pass a law 'prohibiting the gathering of
anything unless a permit was obtained or
the land was leased for that purpose.
This law provides a punishment by im-
prisonment of not more than six months,
or by a fine of not more than $500. — •

In July I sent out about fifty letters
to the principal growers and dealers in the
state, enclosing a question blank, the
answering of which would enable me to
present a comprehensive report to the
society. The circular letter called the at-
tention of the craft to the aims and pur-
poses of our society and the good work
already accomplished and also contained
a cordial invitation to join the society,
for which purpose I enclosed an applica-
tion blank and a stamped addressed en-
velope. The result was twelve answers
and one application. The answers were
all alike, speaking in the highest terms
of the prosperous year just passed, and
encouragingly of the future, but for all
the acknowledged prosperity, there was
only one that was prosperous enough, or
who considered himself so, to invest a
five-dollar bill for membership in our na-
tional society. — Theodore "Wirth.

Western Missouri.

The past year has been the most suc-
cessful in the history of the business, all
lines showing an increase of from twenty
to twenty-five per cent. Many losses
from hail occurred during the year. A

quires brains rather than money to suc-
cessfully conduct a greenhouse, and just
now I think western New York is as
good a field as any in the "United States. —
Chas. H. Keitsch.

Southern Illinois.

I think it easy to account for the fall-
ing off in business in some wholesale
commission markets since most all the
large growers are selling their product
direct to the retailer; in fact, it seems
most growers are drifting tbat way, for
which, in my opinion, no one is more to
blame than the wholesaler himself for the
careless way in which cut flowers are
handled. In these times of strong com-
petition, the retailer doing a first-class
business must have first-class stock, and

few dollars invested on a policy in the
F. H. A. is the only safeguard and in
view of the complete protection afforded
at such small cost it is surprising that
anyone would be willing to assume such
risks. The best indication of a healthy
condition of business is the fact that
nearly all growers are adding glass to
their ranges. Many complaints are heard
from those who purchased carnation cut-
tings of the new varieties disseminated
by certain growers last season, as cut-
tings costing $10 or $12 per 100 arrived,
in many cases, entirely worthless, being
either weakly, poorly rooted or diseased.
Such prices should obtain good stock. —
Geo. M. Kellogg.

Virginia.

During the past season business has
been good in this state. Beauties, car-
nations and violets head the list of cut
flowers. Palm stock is not moving as
well as in former years. Lilies, when
good, are still profitable and there is a
steady demand for good Boston and Pier-
soni ferns. Paper White narcissus is
grown in preference to the high priced
Bomans for funeral work. In all lines
of bedding stuff the growers have cleaned
out all on hand, but there could be im-
provement in this class of stock which
would insure better returns for the grow-
er.— H. Brown.

Rhode Island.

The call for hardy plants and shrubs
has been steadily increasing for some
time and was felt in the bedding plant
trade this spring. There is a very per-
ceptible falling off in the bedding out of
the usual plants that have been so exten-
sively grown for the past few years, and
an increase in the use of nasturtiums
and other annuals. The custom of put-
ting carnation plants into the houses
earlier in the fall has been groif^ing, un-
til they now plant them in the house in
the spring instead of outdoors. This is
the most notable change I have observed
in the growing of carnations for winter
blooms. One large grower makes it a
practice to set out his carnation plants in
the field in the latter part of May, as
early as he can, and some time from the
first to the middle of June he sets them
in the houses. If the success that he at-
tains is due even in part to this manner
of handling, it certainly is worthy of our
imitation. — Robert W. Greene.

Wisconsin.

The plant growers had an extra de-
mand for bedding stock, and a number
were cleaned out long before the season
ended, especially on S. A. Nutt geranium
and coleus. In cut flowers, carnations
have been produced in great numbers and
at times the wholesale houses ceased to
have pleasure in handling them. The
same can be said of bulbous stock. The
glut which usually occurs at certain sea-
sons was an enormous one. Roses are
the more fortunate among the cut flow-
ers; they hold their own.— F. P. Dilger.

New Hampshire.

A large proportion of the growing in
this state has been done by the retailer,
though we are now witnessing a very
marked increase in the amount of glass
l^voted to wholesale growing. In
Nashua a large vegetable grower is this
year devoting his entire place to the
growing of pinks and chrysanthemums,
ihis gentleman is planting his stuff in
the ground, doing away with benches en-
tirely. This is a departure which will be

watched with much interest. . The state
college has erected a range of glass dur-
ing the past year, which will be used
principally for experimental purposes.
This will come to be appreciated by the
growers of the state because of the op-
portunity which will be afforded to study
the diseases of our greenhouse plants,
and the best methods of treating the
same. — E. R. Shaw.

Central Michigan.

From reports I find that the business
has increased about twenty-five per cent,
and very bright prospects ahead. But I
should judge the building will not be
over half what it was last year, more at-
tention being paid toward improving the
quality of stock grown. Carnation, grow-
ing has increased to a very large degree
and I think when the advantages of our
clibiate are known this branch will re-
ceive more attention. — W. C. Cook.

North Carolina.
The high price of cotton the past year
has brought prosperity to our farming
people but, strange as it may seem, has
had a bad effect on the local florist who
expected to sell plants in the mill towns,
as the high price of cotton has had the
effect of running most of the factories on
half time ; that meant short cash and no
luxuries for the people. But on the whole
the year 's work has been satisfactory and
a few report increase in trade. — Jas. M.
Lamb.

Ohio.

We have had an exceptional era of
prosperity in the season just closed. The
demand for bedding stock has especially
shown a marked increase over former
years, due, I think, to the education of
the working and the middle classes in the
matter of home adornment. I feel that
certain credit should be given for the in-
creased demand in plants and shrubs to
the education of the children and also of
great numbers of indifferent adults, to
appreciate the beauties of the floral king-
dom through the expression of sentiment
fostered and disseminated by that re-
markable and patriotic institution, the
Carnation League of America, reared in
honor of a clean, upright and sentimental
manhood, and which appropriately chose
as the emblem of that sentiment. Presi-
dent McKinley's favorite flower, which

was worn by over three millions of its
members on January 29, 1904. — H, M.
Altick.

Maine.

The year has been a good one on the
whole. We were able to hold our prices
up to a better standard than ever before,
and so the result in the end has been
very satisfactory. But the amount of
building is not as large as usual this
season. The Maine florists are not get-
ting rich, but they are making some
gains and are keeping well abreast of
the demand for their goods in the state.
A stronger feeling of union and co-opera-
tion among them and a larger member-
ship in this society would be both pleas-
ant and beneficial. — ^H. R. Mitchell.

New Jersey.

The standing of New Jersey as a hor-
ticultural state is interesting. In the
number of square feet of glass surface.
New Jersey stands fifth in the Union,
exceeded only by New York, Illinois,
Pennsylvania and Ohio. In value of
greenhouse structures it stands forth. In
proportion to size, population, and wealth
it easily takes first rank among the
states in commercial floriculture. Here
the growing of roses in large quantities
for cut flowers was developed from an
early small beginning, and the lead has
been steadily maintained until the pres-
ent time. Taking Chatham, in Morris
county, as a centre, within a radius of
four miles we find the principal home of
the industry, including Madison in the
same county, and Summit and Murray
Hill in the adjoining county of Union.
About fifty growers about Madison tells
the story of a locality, small in area but
great in the production of the queen of
flowers. A fair number of carnations of
good quality are also produced in the
state. Violets are no longer grown here
for market, owing to the diseases which
have overtaken them. There are several
extensive plant factories. The past year
has not come up to the average in profit
to the grower and we hear of some going
out of business and of fewer "butting
in." Horticultural builders are not ex-
periencing altogether a jolly time at
present because of the plethoric pocket-
books of the growers. Economy with
discretion has l:^come the watchword of
growers and a period of conservative ac-

tion ou their part seems to have arrived.
The fellow who brags of the big pile
he has made has not shown up this sea-
son. But as some of the causes which
have brought a feeling of depression to
florists, particularly the growers, are not
likely to prevail another year, a looking
forward for a better year coming is gen-
eral.—W. B. Du EiE.

Louisiana.

In the southern part of our country,
where many plants grow to perfection
outdoors and where roses and other flow-
ers bloom almost the entire year around,
demand for plants has been as good as
anywhere up north and therefore it was
not easy for the gardener to get over-
stocked. This is an ideal climate for
palms and almost any variety can be
grown outdoors with slight protection
against the hottest rays of the midday
sun. Phoenix, chamerops, Washingtonias,
sabals, cocos and even latanias and are-
cas may be grown in full sun and attain a
fine, healthy color. It would take two
and three years of careful nursing under
glass up north to get palms to that per-
fection which can be done here in one
year and our plants are much hardier
and stouter and, above all, free from in-
sects and fungous diseases. A good deal
of interest has been taken in chrysan-
themums and some of the best varieties
were grown to as good perfection here

Kansas.

Trade in cut flowers was good the past
winter, the demand greater than the sup-
ply. Trade was also good in plants.
There is some greenhouse building this
year, and I think there will be more next
year. — A. H. Whitcomb.

Kentucky.
From answers to a circular letter sent
out the latter part of June, I learn that
trade has been on the increase, some re-
porting a twenty-five per cent increase
for the year. New glass is going up
everywhere and, while no very large ad-
ditions are being made, there is enough
to exhibit a healthful business condition,
— S. M. Harbison.

Alabama.

The season just closing has seen re-
markable progress in all branches of our
trade, the call being generally for the
finest quality of cut flowers. Where a
few years ago our citizens were content
to spend a few cents, they now spend
dollars, and it is with great satisfaction
I note that as soon as a new home is
completed the next step is to beautify
the grounds. The sale of palms and
ferns is enormous, with prices far in ad-
vance of those received by our friends
in the north, east and west. Our state
motto, "Here We Rest," does not apply
to our profession. — Amy K. Luffman.

PLAN FOR HEATING.

Last season I propounded some heat-
ing queries to the -Review and you
kindly offered to supply a plan for heat-
ing my range. I did not get it then,
because there was a florist here from
Chicago who said he could save me con-
siderable money. His plan was to build
a brick furnace and put in several coils
of 2-inch pipe. It took a lot of coal
and as much if not more work than a
steam boiler, without giving aa much
heat as we needed in the coldest
weather. Now we shall have to tear it
out and try again.

^I have three houses, running east and
west, the south house 20x100, the middle
one 18x100, the next 22x100. These are
separated by four-foot partition walls.
The south wall is two and one-half feet
high, the north five feet. The gables are
glass. The south house is twenty-three
feet oyer the glass, used for carnations
and 52 degrees required when it is as
cold as 20 and 30 degrees below zero
outside. The second house is divided
by a partition across at the middle, the
west end without benches and used for
cool stock; 40 to 45 degrees will do
here. The north house is partitioned
twenty-four feet from the east end and
is twelve feet to ridge. The larger sec-
tion has both solid beds and benches,
for roses. Tlie small section is for

as anywhere up north and proved a well
paying crop to those that ventured in that
undertaking. The cut flower trade has
been pretty good during winter and early
spring, but few home-grown flowers were
sold by our florists, as the demand has
been principally for northern roses, car-
nations, valley and other stuff, as we
have no one that makes a specialty of
growing any under glass, although the
demand is large enough to induce the
growing here. The general idea has been
that it could not be done profitably here,
but I think it could be made a success.
Vegetable growing for shipping to north-
ern markets has become quite an industry
in lower Louisiana. In the early part of
May, in two weeks' time, 37,000 barrels
of cucumbers were shipped out of New
Orleans. Grand Island and the section
along Barrataria Bay produces the finest
cauliflower in the United States. Cu-
cumber forcing under glass is quite an
item. A few are grown in frames with
horse manure to give the necessary tem-
perature, but the best are raised in spe-
cial houses heated by hot water and
prove to be a well-paying crop. There is
an immense demand for Louisiana hot-
house cucumbers during the months of
January, February and March and prices
are better than can be realized for any
other crop or truck. Horticulture has
certainly a future in Louisiana. — Harry
Papworth.

Western Midiigan.
In consequence of the increased de-
mand for plants and cut flowers beyond
the present glass capacity of the grow-
ers, large additions are being built at
the old places and many new ones are
going up. To this can be added the
number of old plants that are being torn
down and rebuilt along modern lines,
which all attests the healthy, prosperous
condition of the trade in Michigan. Mich-
igan is noted for its violets. The past
season was not a very favorable one, on
account of the extreme low prices, yet
they are being more extensively planted
this year than ever. — Geo. F, Crabb.

CHARLEROL PA.

The Review has been a great help to
me in my business. I started four years
ago without any experience whatever.
I had two hot-bed sashes at that time
and have now 2,000 square feet of glass
in greenhouses, having built it out of
the profits of the business. Trade was
very good here last spring, everything
being sold out by Decoration day. There
are four of us in business here, with
about 30,000 feet of glass. Trade is dull
at present, nothing doing but getting
things in shape for fall, when we expect
a good demand. Jos. Haube.

plants and requires about 55 degrees.
At the northwest corner is the office.
Back of this is a house 12x24 for palms,
and back of this, about -midway of the
plant, is the boiler room. I believe I
would prefer hot water, as the place is
hardly large enough for a night man.
We use soft coal. W. H. S.

Your plant requires a boiler capable
of supplying heat to 2,000 feet of radia-
tion, which is not a large amount to be
carried by a single boiler. The arrange-
ment of the partitions in the houses in
reference to the location of the boiler
house or furnace room renders the pip-
ing of the plant somewhat difficult.
With hot water it will be somewhat
more complicated and difficult to handle
than with steam, but there is no reason
why hot water should not be made to
accomplish the result desired.

It will be necessary to have a deep
boiler pit, so that the crown of the
boiler may be two feet or more below
the floor in the south house. For this
house a 3-inch flow pipe will be re-
quired. It should extend from the boiler
along the line of the partition in the
middle house to a point directly under
the ridge in the south house, where it
may be carried to the ridge and from
there allowed to drop toward each end
of the house, using a 2-inch pipe under
the ridge in each direction from the

3-inch \]j)right. At each end of the
house divide the 2-inch pipe into three
2-inch pipes, one to follow the slope of
the roof to the south bench and there
divide to supply thr6e 2-inch pipes
placed under this bench, which shall ex-
tend to the center of the house and
there, by a header, be collected into one.
The wide benches should each have a
2-inch supply pipe dividing to supply
three 2-inch returns under each. These
should then be united by a header and
all finally collected into a 2%-inch re-
turn pipe which should return to the
toiler.

The west end of the middle house can
"be piped by hanging four 2-inch pipes
on the north wall and three on the
south wall, and feeding all from a
2-inch flow pipe under the ridge. The
east end should have a 2-inch riser un-
der the ridge, two 2-inch returns under
each side bench and four 2-inch returns
under the wide bench. On account of
the cross walk through the middle of
this section these pipes will have to be
carried close to the ground. A 2%-inch
riser should be brought from the boiler
to a point under the ridge and there
carried in an upright to supply the
two 2-inch lines going to either end of
the house.

The north house, the one twenty-two
feet wide, is a little more difficult to

With such a plant to be run with hot
water and soft coal fuel I should ad-
vise the use of a steel boiler with jack-
eted fire box, i. e., inside the shell with
water all around and with large return
tubes. There are many boilers of this
pattern on the market. L. C. C.

STEAM DOME UNNECESSARY.

A boiler is better without the steam
dome, says the Practical Engineer. The
steam dome is supposed to effect a dry-
ing of the steam and also add to the
steam space of the boiler. Both of these
purposes it certainly performs, so that
it cannot be objected to upon the
grounds of inefficient service. In the first
place, it removes the outlet of the steam
to a greater distance from the water
surface and consequently there is less
chance of carrying water over when the
boiler primes slightly. Being of com-
paratively large cross-section, the velo-
city of the steam passing through it on
the way to the outlet is comparatively
slow. This gives the moisture particles
entrained with the steam an opportunity
to fall out of the steam by mere action
of gravity. However, there are other
and better ways of securing the same
result. The dry pipe is just as useful
in obtaining dry steam as is the dome.
It is merely a perforated pipe attached

Vegetable Forcing,

LETTUCE AND RADISH.

At what time should Grand Eapids let-
tuce be sown to get a crop by November
20? What is the best method of culture?

What is a good forcing radish?

J. H. T.

Grand Eapids lettuce takes from ten
to twelve weeks from time of sowing
the seed until they are large enough to
be most profitable to cut, so if you want
them at November 20, the sooner you get
the seed in the better. For cultural hints
see the answer to E. C. L. in the issue of
the Beview of August 25. In addition
to this I would advise to sow the seed
rather thinly in flats or cold frame and
prick over once before the final planting,
setting them about two inches apart each
way. Before the plants begin to crowd
one another plant out where they are to
mature, allowing a space of eight inches
each way.

The best forcing radish we have tried
is Non Plus Ultra. This is a dwarf,
quick maturing variety and one that has
always succeeded well with us.

pipe by this plan, but it may be done
as follows: Bring a 3-inch riser to a
point under the ridge and carry a 2-inch
one to the west and a 2i.^-inch line to
the east as far as the partition of the
room 22x24 feet. At this point insert
a tee with a 2-inch opening looking into
the room 22x24 feet and another look-
ing down on the west side of the parti-
tion. From each carry a 2-inch line,
the one in the east section to return by
two pipes under the north bench, three
under wide bench farthest north, two
under the other wide bench and one
under the south narrow bench. The
other section can be piped by carrying
returns from each end of the compart-
ment to the fifty-foot line, using the
same number and disposition of pipes as
in the house 22x24 feet. If you do not
wish to use valves in the flow pipe so as
to cut off the house 22x24 feet, both the
riser and returns can be carried through
without interruption and the size of the
riser from the fifty-foot line east need
not be increased; a 2-inch line in each
direction will be sufficient.

The little house between the office
and boiler house requires 184 feet of
2_ineh pipe. It should have four lines
of 2-inch pipe under the north bench
and four lines under the wide bench. A
-inch line under the ridge will supply
DOth coils.

to the outlet, but lying wholly within the
boiler. The areas of the perforations
when taken together . are considerably
greater than that of the steam main lead-
ing from the boiler. The dry pipe is
usually placed so as to extend along the
upper part of the steam space and paral-
lel to the longitudinal axis of the boiler
shelj. It thus draws steam from a
large portion of the steam space.

Its main advantage over the dome,
however, lies in the fact that its attach-
ment to the bailer does not weaken the
shell to any appreciable extent. In order
to attach a dome, the shell of the boiler
beneath the dome is cut away, thus re-
moving a large amount of solid plate,
making the boiler considerably weaker
under the transverse strains.

I HAVE been pleased with the Eeview
during the past year and could not well
afford to be without it. — John W. Scott,
Lisbon, O.

Columbia, S. C. — Martin Stork, of the
Eose Hill Greenhouses, says the florists'
business in this state is still in its in-
fancy, but judging from the increasing
demands for cut flowers from all sec-
tions of the state, it is plain that it is
no longer an experiment. Greenhouses
are being built and enlarged in a num-
ber of the smaller towns.

HOUSES FOR CUCUMBERS.

Different types of houses are utilized
in the growing of cucumbers. Market
gardeners who raise two or three crops
of lettuce during the fall and winter
generally plant cucumbers in their let-
tuce houses in late winter or early spring.
These lettuce houses are almost invariably
either two-thirds or even-span, and in
Massachusetts they are provided with
ground beds instead of benches. They
are glazed with 16x24 or 16x28-inch
glass, and in some of the modern houses
20x30-inch glass is used. The use of this
larger glass results in giving a house
considerably more light, thus increasing
growth, A house glazed with 20x30-inch
glass requires only five sash bars to
cover a space demanding six sash bars
where 16x24 or 16x28-inch glass is used,
and the inferior light conditions due to
more frequent lapping are avoided.

A modern even-span lettuce house
40x630 feet, constructed with 20x30-inch
glass is known to have cost $952 per lin-
eal foot or 23 cents per square foot of
ground covered. According to our esti-
mate a house of this size, if constructed
with sash bars two inches wide, would
by the use of 16-ineh glass furnish about
745 square feet more opaque surface,
than if glazed with 20-inch glass; or in
other words there would be about nine-
teen per cent. less sash bar surface to

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

SEPTEMBEil 1, 1904.

obstruct light in this house if glazed
with 20x30-inch glass than if glazed
with 16x24-inch glass. There would also
be an improvement in' the light conai-
tions owing to the less frequent lapping
required by the larger glass.

That this increase in the amount of
light is of great advantage in the grow-
ing of such cropa as cucumbers and let-
tuce under glass in winter there is no
doubt. It has long been known to vege-
table physiologists that, where the light
conditions fall below the normal require-
ments of the plant, increasing the amount
or intensity of the light by artificial
means, such as the use of electricity,
etc.,»considerably accelerates the process
of assimilation. It is, indeed, not dif-
ficult to observe practical and conclusive
demonstrations of the positive beneficial
effects which superior light conditions
have iipon such crops as lettuce and
cucumbers in greenhouses. Many experi-
ments have been made by the writer
which show this.

The most common type of house used
is shown in figure 1. This house is es-
pecially built for cucumber growing and
would not be adapted to lettuce. Houses
of this type are furnished with beds con-
taining about one foot of soil, in which
is usually buried 2-inch porous tile foi
use in subirrigation. This type of house
is usually fifteen to twenty-three feet in
width and from 100 to 200 feet in
length. Many of these houses are pro-
vided with two layers of glass through-
out, a space of one and a half or two
inches being left between the layers.
Small ventilators are placed near the
top of the roof but seldom on the sides.
Some of these houses are built with heavy
wooden frames which, together with the
small and inferior glass frequently used,
results in rendering light conditions too
poor for the production of healthy plants
or large crops. The outer row of plants
is trained to follow up the sides and
roof, and, when the house is eighteen to
twenty-three feet in width, one or more
rows are planted through the middle. The
middle rows are necessarily more shaded
and invariably prove of little value as
crop producers in double glass houses.
The house from which the illustration
was prepared is 20x106 and cost $16.03
per lineal foot or 80 cents per square
foot of ground covered.

The style of house shown in figure 2
is less frequently devoted to cucumbers,
but occasionally such houses are made
use of for that purpose. It is, however,
a typical lettuce house, the highest side
being boarded. The method of trainin</
the plants is shown in the illustration
and is different from that practiced in
regular cucumber houses.

This method of training is generally
adopted in houses of this type. The house
in which the sketch was made is 36x200
and cost $10 per lineal foot or 27 cent?
per square foot of ground covered.

The cheapest and most economical
house to build and operate in the pro-
duction of cucumbers is an even-span or
two-thirds-span house of large dimen-
sions, such as is most frequently used by
lettuce growers. The construction, heat-
ing and management of a large house aro
proportionally cheaper than of a small
house. It is a significant fact that the
largest and most satisfactorily built and
best lighted house which we have seen
cost the least per lineal and iquare foot.
If a side hill with a southern slope were
available, an economical house well

lighted and easily heated could be built
at probably still cheaper rates.

In conclusion it may be stated that the
most important features brought out here
are that a large house costs less per
unit of structure than a small house.
The cost of operating the same is pro-
portionally less. The cost of production
is less in a large house than in a smaller
one, and it would be more economical to
manage one large house 40x300 feet than
three small ones 20x200 feet having the
same total area. From various observa-
tions which have been made on green-
houses, it is evident that cucumber grow-
ers have in many instances shown a lack '

of thought and business ability in the
construction of their houses, whereas let-
tuce and rose growers, who are subject
to more competition in their business,
are continually making use of the best
materials and principles in greenhouse
construction and management. — George
E. Stone in bulletin of Hatch Experi-
ment Station.

The Market.

There is not much new to chronicle for
the past week's market. Boses are com-
ing of somewhat better quality. They in-
clude some very good Carnot and Kaiser-
in fronl a number of growers. The best
bring about $6 per 100. Beauties are
rather more plentiful. In addition to
Worcester Conservatories, the Waban
Consevatories, Anderson and "Williams
and one or two others are sending in
good blooms. Prices range from $6 to
$18. Brides and Bridesmaids seldom
fetch over $2. A good many of the
poorer grades are handled by the fakirs.

table classes drew fine displays. For
collection of fifty vases of asters in not
less than twelve varieties, Mrs. J. L.
Gardner, Wm. Thatcher gardener, and
W. J. Clemson, J,. O. Kristenson garden-
er, Won in order named. Two fine collec-
tions of thirty varieties of hardy herba-
ceous platits were staged. Carl Blom-
berg was first and Walter Hunnewell,
T. D. Hatfield gardener, second.

W. G. Winsor showed over sixty va-
rieties of cactus dahlias. The blooms
were very fine. Mrs. L. Towle also had
a fine collection. E. S. Wheeler showed
a collection of seedling gladioli, Mrs.
E. M. Gill a general display and L. H.
Atkins a table of flowers grown in an
apartment house yard, the latter receiv-
ing honorable mention. About 150 va-
rieties of fungi containing edibl6, poison-
ous, deleterious and "unknown quality"
sorts were staged.

The next regular exhibition is the big
autumn show of flowers, plants, fruits
and vegetables September 22 to 25, A
splendid exhibition, which will fill all
halls, is expected.

Various Notes.

George Anderson, of Hyde Park, and
Mr. and Mrs. E'. J. Canning and famUy,
of Northampton, Mass., were among the
passengers returning on the S. S. Ivernia,
on August 24.

The new flower market under Music
Hall is in the hands of a contractor, who
hopes to have it completed early in Sep-
tember. The new location is very cen-
tral and has ample floor space. It un-
fortunately has a serious defect in lack
of light. There are no windows at all,
and the only daylight comes from the
entrance doors, making artificial light a
necessity at all times. The facilities for
teams approaching the entrance are also
not of the best. We wish the new mar-
ket a prosperous career, for they undoubt-
edly have the well-wishes of a large cli-
entele. We honestly believe, however, that
a location nearer the South Terminal sta-
tion would have been more convenient
and better in many ways. The auction
sale of stalls in the new market occurs on
August 31, that in the Columbus avenue
market taking place on September 3.

fered by or through the Massachusetts

Carnations from the new indoor crop
are now arriving from several growers.
Some nice outdoor stock is also coming
in. The best sell at $2 and $2.50. Glad-
ioli are quite plentiful and still sell at $2
to $3. Lily of the valley brings $2 to $4.
Asters are very poor, many being badly
spotted. Demand for asparagus, adian-
tum and smilax is light.

'Weekly Exhibition.

The last of the free weekly flower
shows at Horticultural Hall occurred on
August 27. There was not a very large
display of flowers, but the fruit and vege-

chrysanthemum and rose shows will be is-
sued in a few days.

John K. M. L. Farquhar sailed for
Europe on the S. S. Ivernia on August
30. He will visit Great Britain, Holland,
Belgium, France and Germany in the in-
terest of his firm. He carried over in cold
storage a box of blooms of Farquhar 's
new Christmas lily to show to London
experts. He will return about the mid-
dle of October.

W. E. Doyle had a nice lot of Clero-
dendron Balfouri in the window of his

Fancy Clipped Box Trees at Establishment of Julius Roehrs, Rutherford, N. J.

BUFFALO.

Washington is Popular.

Since our return from St. Louis we find
that all our brother florists are well
pleased with Washington for next year's
convention, and the boys of the capital
can rest assured that it will be a rous-
ing, old-time convention. If we remem-
ber aright, the first Washington conven-
tion was a "buster" in every respect.
We promise to be Gude-Gude boys, while
all being Freemen in our actions.

A Grand Gladiolus.

Business for the past two weeks has
been well up to the average of this dull-
est of seasons. Carnations are scarcely
visible. Sweet peas are getting poor
and roses are at their lowest ebb, ex-
cept Kaiserins and some Beauties. As-
ters and gladioli are now the staples.
Speaking of gladioli, we received a hun-
dred spikes a few da3'3 ago from Frank
Banning, of Kinsman, Ohio, of a light,
soft pink variety named Reuben H. War-
der. We think we have seen a good
many gladioli in our time, but never, as-
suredly, have we ever seen such a flower
as this. In color, an stoutness of spike
and in size and substance of flowers it is
wonderful. It simply eclipses all va-
rieties we ever saw. We are told by
George Asmus, of Chicago, that when
Reuben H. Warder appears in the Chi-
<ago market it is fought for and obtains
a high price, and no wonder.

Florists* Qub Picnic

Last Thursday the Florists' Club held
its annual outing. About 175 turned
out. The place selected was a private club
house on Grand Island, known as the
Half-Past Twelve Club, of which W. F.
Kasting is a member. We got off late
and before we were far out on the bil-
lows of the usually calm but rapid Niag-
ara, a small cyclone met us as it came
up from the falls, and seldom has old
Niagara put on more airs. The tug went
plowing through, but the flat-bottomed
scow that held most of the party rose
and fell like a bottle-nosed whale and,
besides producing that funny feeling in
many, it put serious thoughts in others,
men (particularly young sinners) as well
as women, so much so that as soon as
terra firma was reached, hurried prepara-

tions were looked up for a safer return.
Very few, however, were allowed to leave
the crowd. The rain stopped, the wind
went down and a start was made to car-
ry out the program of sports which had
been carefully prepared. But two events
were run, besides the ball game. The
hundred-yard dash was won by Charlie
Reickert, L. Longley, second, W. Greaver,
third. In the ladies' race of fifty yards
Mrs. Reickert was first and Mrs. J.
Bailey second. All eyes were so intense-
ly fascinated witli the action and stride
of the winner that no one was placed
third. This race was known as the
Grand Island Selling Stakes. The first
prize was a bottle of whiskey, second a
piano and third a baby carriage. Think-
ing that the ball game was of greater
general interest, the east side lined up
against the west and the east side won by
a score of 8 to 1. The batterv for the
east was Johnnie Weiss and David Scott,
for the west Roland Cloudsley and Rob-
bie Scott, umpire W. F. Kasting. "* Some
thought his decisions impartial, some
thought he was horribly rank. He im-
posed many fines for disputed decisions
and sass from the players and W. A.
Adams was ejected from the grounds
for all-round kicking and back talk.

Then came the inevitable camera, then
.a most enjoyable repast, marred only
by the fact that we couldn 't all sit down
together. There was irrigation and fu-
migation in abundance. Then there was
dancing. About 9 o'clock the whistle
blew, the anchor weighed and "AH
aboard ! ' ' was the word. It 's greatly
to be deplored that the program could
not be run off, but it's going to be. The
Buffalo Florists' Derby would have
caused much merriment, as it had a
large entry list and each contestant had
to carry on his back for seventy-five
yards a man or boy weighing not less
than 130 pounds.

Notwithstanding the subsidence of the
storm, the comparative calm and the
moon 's soft light, a score of the young
and nervous element hired hay racks and
rode through the woods to the east side
of the island to catch another steamer.
Recollections of the flat-bottomed scow
and fried chicken were too much for them
and so they missed a most enjoyable
part of the day 's outing. An impromptu
chairman installed himself and called

upon many present for * ' a few remarks ' '
or a little story from L. H. Neuljeck,
Wm. Eihmann, Wm. Hewson, C. H.
Keitsch, Prof. Cowell, Mr. Collins, of
Pine Hill; D. B. Long, Emil Brucker,
George Troup, Rudolph Boettger and
some others not intentionally omitted.
Mr. Long spoke earnestly of the McKin-
ley monument, to which it is the privi-
lege of the florists to contribute $10,000
for its perpetual care. Mr. Long will
make an excellent chairman to raise the
local offering. George Troup, the able
superintendent of our matchless Forest
Lawn cemetery, took occasion to say
that on his part there was not the slight-
est wish to infringe or curtail the busi-
ness done by the florists in Forest Lawn.
His first duty and service was to his
charge, but he hoped that always would
there be most pleasant relations between
the superintendent and the florists and
whatever he could do to promote that un-
derstanding would be his aim. W. S.
told of his experience on the field of
Chickamauga, when cared for by a col-
ored family, and just then the scow
bumped up against the landing place.

In conclusion I am instructed to say
by several of those young men who rode
through the dark woods on a hay rack,
that as they had Mrs. Phil Hauswirth
and Mrs. George Asmus. of Chicago,
with them, they by no means envied any-
one. W. S.

PAYS FOR MONEY ORDERS.

The Templin & Sons Co.. of Calla,
Ohio, last spring introduced a feature
in their mail order business which was
ao convenient and satisfactory to their
patrons that it would seem worthy of
adoption by the seed and plant trade in
general. They announced in their cata-
logue that the cost of every postoffice
money order or express money order
should be deducted from the amount sent
them in ordering sseds, plants, etc., from
them. The firm seems well pleased
with the results, and will doubtless con-
tinue the same liberal offer in future.

T. S. T.

Cresco, Ia. — W. B. Perry says that
the general report is that palms are slow
sale with Iowa florists.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

Septembeb 1, 1904.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market

Scrapie's asters are the feature of the
market this week. They are very fine
and can be had in quantity in aJl the
colors. That the buyers appreciate them
is evidenced by the way they are sell-
ing. Most orders seem incomplete with-
out a bunch or more of asters. Carna-
tions from freshly planted stock are put-
ting in their appearance. The Leo Nies-
sen Co. has had some fragrant blooms
of Flora Hill, Mrs. Lawson and •Queen
Louise. Dahlias, especially pompons, are
becoming more plentiful. They are very
nice blooms, but a trifle short in stem.
There is a steady demand for fine valley.
Tuberoses are in season now. They are
not likely to be plentiful. Roses are very
abundant and the ordinary grades are
cheap, but selected stuflf brings fair
money ;for the season.

The Event of the Week.

The event of the week was the opening
of the Flower Market on Monday morn-
ing. Their new quarters consist of a
ground floor 30x60 feet, with the base-
ment underneath. There are twenty-five
stalls besides some floor and wall space
rented. The office in front is very well
lighted. Nearly all the stalls are rented.
Being early in the season, about half
the growers were represented on the
opening day. The location is unsurpassed
from a business standpoint, being only
one square away from each of the two
great railway terminals. Manager Mee-
han is making preparations for an active
campaign during the coming season.

A Clever Contrivance.

It is a privilege to be admitted to the
sanctum of a successful business house.
It was Phil's good fortune, one after-
noon, to pass a too short half hour in the
second story front rooms on lower Mar-
ket street from which Johnson & Stokes
conduct their seed business. A pleasant
greeting from Walter P. Stokes was fol-
lowed by an interesting chat, partly de-
voted to a device which Mr. Stokes has
planned and carried out for photograph-
ing fruits, vegetables and flowers. His
camera, with a short focused lens espe-
cially adapted for the work, stands on
a frame set on casters, in front of the
large window. Just in front of the
camera, and connected with the frame,
is a sort of easel on which the fruit or
vegetable is placed with a background
of light gray or dark green cloth, as
best suits the coloring of the subject
to be photographed. Should a flower be
used, a frame with plate glass front skil-
fully arranged to hold the flower in place
is added. The easel can be turned to
any apgle necessary to avoid or secure
shadow, be it horizontal or perpendicu-
lar, the camera turning to suit. In a
room back of the office the plates are
developed, the ruby light being admitted
softened to give just the strength desired.
Some plates of fine melons were wonder-
ful in their perfection of detail. Mr.
Stokes is president of the amateur pho-
tographers' association. His work is of
a high order and the firm is thus able
to illustrate its catalogue with repro-
ductions of the product of their own seed.

Ombre Effects.

Progress in combinations of colors and
shades is most strikingly shown in the
so-called ombre effects produced in chif-
fons, chip ribbons and pot covers. The

gradual shadings from a deep to a pale
tint of color and then to shades of an-
other color that harmonize with the
first are exquisite. The softness and
beauty of these ombre effects will appeal
to the taste of the flower artist at first
sight. Another dainty effect is the fairy-
like magnolia leaf. This appears to be
simply a skeleton leaf; no tissue or
sap left, only veins and stem, a graceful
green wand that a breath of air will
sway. Phil is indebted to the courtesy
of M. Rice for a glimpse of these dain-
ties.

Various Notes.

H. Bayersdorfer & Co. have their hand-
some and spacious warehouse crammed '
full of beautiful novelties and stand-
ards. Some new designs and colorings in
Christmas bells are very pleasing. The
firm has done a great business in the
west lately.

William J. Moore, wholesale florist, has
opened for business at 1235-37 Filbert
street, where he is ready to see all his
old friends.

Edward Reid is receiving some fine
Scrapie's asters in all the popular colors.

Charles P. Poryzces has opened a new
store on Fifteenth street, near Chestnut.

Samuel S. Pennock is enjoying an
ideal out of door life in a camp in the
Adirondacks.

Berger Bros, continue to receive good
shipments of fine asters.

Pennock Bros, are displaying some
beautiful pink cosmos.

H. Bayersdorfer and Mrs. Bayers-
dorfer have returned from Atlantic City.

Joseph Heacock has sent out a beauti-
fully illustrated booklet, with photos of
his place, his specimen kentias and in
raised and colored figures his phones.

'Wilmington.

N. D. Gachor, the well known Broad
street station florist, declares that car-
nations are now the best paying flower.
This stateraent is borne out by the build-
ing about Wilmington, Del. Nelson
Tally has erected two houses, doubling
his plant. C. H. Simon has added one
house and H. M. Paschall, of Holly
Oaks, nearby, has also added one house
during the past summer. It is under-
stood that all these houses are for car-
nations. All the growers named above
ship their stock to the Leo Niessen Co.
Phil.

PITTSBURG.

The Market.

Trade the past week has been reported
extremely slow, but in looking through
the stores one finds a little doing in all
of them, and the proprietors in a good
humor, so that it is not as bad as it
might be. The stock on show in most
of them looks very good for this season.
Gladioli and asters are specially fine
and roses are improving every day. Car-
nations are not in evidence at all. but
with Harrisii, lancifolium lilies and val-
ley they manage to make a good front
and take care of any trade coming their
way.

The nights being extremely cool have
caused some mildewed stock, to appear
and the fellow who does not grow roses
himself asks the old question, "Do those
growers take care of stock all spring
and summer, and then allow themselves
to be caught napping in the fall; is it
carelessness, or do they forget from year

to year that their young roses will not
stand the cold, damp nights?"

Variotfs Notes.

A crowd of the Pittsburg and Alle-
gheny florists took advantage of the
Turners' excursion to Wheeling last Sun-
day. They took in the parks, ball game&
and visited their Wheeling friends and
got home about midnight, after being
held up by a passenger wreck on the B^
&0.

There was a kind of harvest home out
in Butler county one day last week.
Some of the boys went out And all, with
the exception of one who was left along
the road, got back safely.

Karl Klinke, the Pittsburg Cut Flow-
er Co. 's bookkeeper, is back from the
World's Fair. He says he went to see
it all, and thinks he did, especially the
Pike. He says you are not saving money
while in the hands of those fellows.

T. M. Ulam and wife have been spend-
ing a couple of weeks in the raountains.

Most of the larger growers have all
their stock planted for the winter and
are off'ering their surplus roses and car-
nations for sale.

Wra. Falconer went from the St. Louis
convention to Chicago to attend the con-
vention of the Society of American Cem-
etery Superintendents.

Frank Faulk, of the Allegheny mar*
ket, is an expert taxidermist and when
the cut flower business is dull he puts
in his time raounting fine speciraens of
fish and birds for the sportsmen of this
vicinity. He makes it pay as well as his
regular business.

G. & J. W. Ludwig had a busy week
with funeral work. Among the designs
there was one in particular which was
well executed, a scales of life, for which
they received $125.

Ed. McGrath, of Breitenstein &
Fleram, is visiting New York and Phila-
delphia.

The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. have
Christmas bells on exhibition. It seems
early for Christmas goods, but these
boys usually know their business.

Hoo-Hoo.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Cooler weather the past week has im-
proved stock and business somewhat.
Shipping trade, too, seems to be revived
at the wholesale houses. In fact the gen-
eral outlook is very much better, though
most of the business is confined to funeral
work. On Saturday the floral parade at
the World 's Fair used up a lot of surplus
outdoor stock, which is over-plentiful.

The cool nights have a bad effect on
roses, which show traces of mildew.
Kaiserin is the best. Meteor and Liberty
are also good. Brides and Maids are
very poor. Beauties are not first class
and. on a limited number of good flowers,
are being held at $2 to $2.50 per dozen,
the average being worth only 75 cents to
$1.25, with plenty of shorts at $5 per
100. Most of the flowers are poorly col-
ored.

In carnations the market has a poor
supply at present. The field-grown stock
has suffered a great deal of late from
the heavy rains. Fancy sorts bring $1.50
per 100, but the bulk sell at from 50
cents to $1 per 100. Asters have short-
ened in supply, that is, the fancy sorts.
There seems to be plenty of common va-
rieties for all demands. Tuberoses are
in big supply, more than the trade can

use up. All they bring is $2 per 100.
Good long smilax and asparagus are plen-
tiful.

Various Notes.

Most of the S. A, F. delegates have
now left the city for home. Harry Pap-
worth, of New Orleans, and A. H. Lang-
jahr and wife, of New York, left Satur-
day. Eobert Craig, of Philadelphia, and
a few others are still holding out, taking
In all the sights at the World's Fair
before returning home.

Chas. C. Young has returned from At-
lantic City, N. J., where he spent two
weeks during his vacation.

Kobert and Carl Beyer have had a busy
week of it, arranging Lemp's park for
the annual gathering of the St. Louis
Schwabenverein, which opened Sunday.
The decorations, including the large col-
umn of vegetables in different shapes,
was a sight well worth seeing.

The general entertainment committee
met at Frank Ellis' store on Thursday of
last week to settle all bills for the con-
vention. Treasurer Koenig was on hand
with his checkbook and a full report can
be made at the next regular meeting of
the club.

Charlie Kuehn has laid in an extra fine
lot of supplies of all kinds, especially in
the basket line.

Frank Ellis is receiving daily a fine
lot of asters and lily of the valley, which
are selling well.

Henry Ostertag had twenty-two auto-
mobiles to decorate on Saturday for the
floral parade at the World's Fair.

The Florists ' Club meeting next Thurs-
day afternoon, September 8, is of great
importance to all the members. A full
report is expected from all the chairmen
of the convention committees, also the su-
perintendent of traae display. The pres-
ident has appointed ex-Presidents Am-
mann and Dunford to take charge of the
installation ceremonies for the new oflS-
cers. President-elect Juengel has a big
surprise in store for the members when
he takes his seat. He will be ably assist-
ed this year by Vice-President Pilcher,
Treasurer Meinhardt and the new trus-
tees, Messrs. Weber, Guy and Miller.
The only old officer holding office is Sec-
retary Schray.

The display of McCray florists' refrig-
erators by the Standard Scale & Fixture
Co., their representatives here, were the
only ice boxes on exhibition in the trade
display. They report a number of or-
ders taken during the convention.

The reason our convention was such a
great success is that we had the Lord
with us. in fact two of them. J. P. Lord,
of Lord & Bumham, and L. P. Lord, the
paper box man, from Minnesota.

From August 27 to September 7 there
will be a special display of asters in the
Horticulture building at the World's
Fair. There are seven classes and from
the entries the exhibition promises to be
large. Superintendent Hadkinson is also
receiving entries for the dahlia exhibition,
which opens September 17 and closes Sep-
tember 27. Entries for these close Sep-
tember 14.

Bowling.

It was decided by the bowlers to play
a series of twenty games for the silver
water pitcher which the team won in the
convention tournament. Every man who
enters must roll at least sixteen games
to qualify. The first series will be rolled
September 5. Two teams rolled a friendly
match last Monday, with scores as fol-
lows:

NEW YORK.

The Market.

The market does not improve as yet
and the general opinion is that the first
signs of returning life need not be antici-
pated before the first of October. In the
meantime everything is being put in
ship-shape for the revival. Stores are
being repaired anu lepainted. New fronts
are going in and a general air of enter-
prise is perceptible everywhere. Outdoor
stock shows evidence of the clearer
weather and is very abundant. Glodioli
seem to hold well at 50 cents per 100.
Asters have declined in value and dahlias
are apparently unlimited in quantity and
beauty.

Various Notes.

Business enterprise in the wholesale
line shows no retrograde movement. The
march, like that of Japan, goes forward.
Twenty-eighth street gives further evi-
dence of youthful vigor. The Youngs
are more and more in evidence. John
Young, Young & Nugent and Thos.
Young, Jr., now see the quartette of
wholesalers completed by the opening of
the store of A. L. Young & Co., at 54
West Twenty-eighth street. This must
be "a name to conjure with."

President Traendly was so pleased with
St. Louis that he brought a souvenir back
with him in the shape of a case of hay
fever, the dark colored air of the Fair
city being a little too shady for the lungs
of the average New Yorker. Traendly
& Schenck are handling some^ grand
Chatenay and Golden Gate this week.

Young & Nugent are busy completing
their new front and will have one of the
best stores in the street when all the im-
provements aie finished. Arthur Dacre,
of this house, leaves next Monday for a
two weeks' vacation at Moose Head
Lake, Me.

J. K. Allen will be home on Thursday
of this week and Miss Reilly, the faith-
ful bookkeeper and manager during his
absence in Europe, will start on a well
earned holiday on Saturday. Her out-
ing will include a week in the Adiron-
dacks and possibly a visit to the World's
Fair.

Mrs. Charles Smith, of Woodside, left
for her old home in Scotland on Satur-
day, by the Lucania, contemplating a
six months' visit amid the scenes of her
childhood.

The new greenhouses of the Hinodc
Florist Co., at Whitcstone, are nearly
completed and their size and facilities
will be a surprise to visitors, as well as
the quaint Japanese plants which are to
be seen there the year around in innu-
merable quantity and great variety.

Chas. Lenker is building at Freeport.

John Scott is much elated with the suc-
cess and reception of Scottii at the con-
vention.

Aithur Boddington was more than
pleased with the practical cordiality of

his reception at the S. A. F. convention.
Occupying the same store in which he
began business, and with many of the old
familiar faces abound him, it is hard to
realize he ever left it.

Patrick O 'Mara returned Monday from
his mountain outing in the Berkshire hills
with his sister and cousins, where he
spent the week succeeding the conven-
tion. He shows, with commendable
pride, the "spare" piize won in the St.
Louis bowling contest and is enthusiastic
as to the founding of a New York club
early in the fall that can supply material
for first honors in the tournament next
year at Washington. Evidently he
thinks it will be the early birds who will
drink from the silver cup in 1905.

Elliott was reshipping his first consign-
ment of 100 cases of Holland bulbs on
Monday. His auctions begin September
15, with a general line of palms, bulbs,
etc.

Stumpp & Walter Co. leport a con-
stant increase in business. A fine stock
of freesia bulbs are much in demand and
going fast.

H. H. Berger & Co. report the arrival
of their Dutch bulbs in splendid condi-
tion, hyacinths and tulips being of bet-
ter quality than in several years. They
are so busy they are working nights.
Their consignment of kentia seeds will
arrive the last of October.

Mr. Wittpen, of McHutchison & Co.,
arrived in New York Monday on the
Kaiser Wilhelm.

Cleary's horticultural hall opens
Thursday, September 8, and thereafter
every Tuesday and Friday the auctions
continue. The first week in October Mr.
Cleary conducts the sale at Robert Craig
& Son's, in Philadelphia. September 15
the auction of Charles Bird's nursery
stock at Arlington, N. J., begins.

Dr. Britton, of the New York Botani-
cal Garden, is enjoying a month's tour
in the Bahamas.

G)nvention Reflections.

The last of the eastern invaders has
returned from the wild and woolly west
and the geneial opinion still seems to be,
there is only one New York. But the
acknowledgment of a delightful visit to
the great Fair city, the convention and
the exposition is universal. Everybody
has only good things to say of the grand
hospitality of the St. Louis florists, the
faithful and earnest devotion shown by
all to the best interests of the visiting
brethren and sisters, and the wonderful
skill and unanimity of the St. Louis la-
dies of the St. Louis club in their ex-
cellent management of every detail en-
trusted to their care.

For high class exhibits, unfailing in-
terest and commendable harmony the
convention of 1904 goes on record as
one of the lifetime memories. To those
who remained over to enjoy the Fair,
the heat and the cyclones, there were ex-
periences never to be forgotten. That
any florist within a thousand miles of
St. Louis missed the convention is a mys-
tery to those who attended. More and
more these yearly conventions demon-
strate their value as reunions, cementers
of friendships, fraternal love feasts with-
out which the S. A. F. would disinte-
grate. Exhibits, sports, receptions, es-
says upon subjects of universal interest
and a disposition to do the things that
make for the greatest good to the great-
est number; these are the foundations
of the continuance of the society, so dear
to all of us. Long may it prosper.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

Septembeb 1, 1904.

PACIFIC COAST.

VANCOUVER, a C

The Vancouver Floral Co. is adding to
its glass and is installing a new boiler.
Their carnations and chrysanthemums
are looking good. With Watkins and
Pont stock is also in fine shape.

On August 29 Jas. Pont, E, Withers,
manager of the Vancouver Floral Co.,
E. Kinnard, Ed Lunnediffe, H. H. Page
and M. J. Henry started on one of their
periodical trips to the woods, open for
"fur, fin or feathers." They generally
have a pretty fair commissary depart-
ment and keep open house for all in the
craft.

SAN FRANdSCX).

The Market.

Business is about at a standstill. There
has been very little wedding or funeral
work during the past week and stock of
all kinds has accumulated on the retail-
ers' hands. Asters are very plentiful
and very cheap and of good quality. A
few chrysanthemums are seen, but they
will not be plentiful until next month.
Eoses are scarce and they are the only
flowers that are in demand. The prices
remain the same as I quoted last week
and carnation rates have not changed.
Amaryllis is scarcer and sweet peas are
on the wane. Lilium album and rubrum
are not as plentiful as they were and
are in very fair demand. Valley is plen-
tiful enough to fill all requirements.
Tuberoses are offered in quantity. Out-
door stuff, except dahlias, moves very
slowly and the bulk of it is passing rap-
idly out of season.

Various Notes.

L. Wickstrom will move his store about
September 1 to 1057 Market street, near
the Central theater. It is a much lar-
ger and finer store and m a much bet-
ter locality for business.

J. T. Thorsted, of Fruitvale, has fin-
ished erecting two carnation houses on
his new grounds situated about a half
mile north of his present location. Tne
houses are 25x200 feet and he will plant
them principally to Estelle, Enchantress,
Queen Louise and Lawson.

Malcolm Lamond, head gardener for
the city of Oakland, has received for the
town conserA-atories a large consignment
of tropical and hardy palms irom Flor-
ida and also a fine collection of crotons.

Thomas E. Barlow, one of the best
known horticulturists in the northern
part of this state, died at Sebastopol,
August 23.

H. Plath is on an extended eastern
trip. G.

ACAOAS.

The acacias, although not natives of
this coast, give us some of our most val-
uable adjuncts to our own shrubbery.
Some of them have proven to be without
equals when an evergreen sidewalk or
lawn tree is desired. As this is the sea-
son of the year when the ripe seed can
be gathered, it is also the best time for
planting it, and a few suggestions as to
varieties that are particularly valuable,
as well as a few hints on their growing,
are in order.

A very good sample is A. mollissima.
This grows to a height of fifty feet, has
light fern-like foliage and in the spring-

time is literally covered with masses of
golden yellow blooms. These fragrant
flowers are sold in great quantities on
the street corners during their season.
The seed of this variety should be soaked
about twenty-four hours before planting,
as this makes easily a difference of three
months in its germinating properties.
Plant in flats and keep lightly shaded for
a couple of months, when the young
plants will have attained a height of a
couple of inches. They can then be
placed in the open, but if the weather
gets too frosty or too wet they should
be brought under cover. If the seed has
not been sown too thickly, in which caser
it is hard to keep them from damping
off, they will be ready to plant in thumb
pots early in March. They should be
kept inside for a month or so, until they
become established, and auout a year
from the time the seed was planted they
will have attained the height of twelve
inches, when they are ready to be shift-
ed into 4-inch pots. They will stand
from five to six feet high the following
spring, when they will be ready for sale.
A six-foot tree looks better, of course,
if transplanted into a 6-inch pot, but
there is no trouble in handling this vari-
ety in a smaller sized pot.

The next variety of acacia in value is
the well known blackwood, A. melanoxy-
lon. This is a shade easier to handle
than the variety I have previously de-
scribed and is one of the best for side-
walk planting. It is a more erect grower
and a very vigorous tree. They require
the same treatment from seed as the A.
mollissima, but will make a heavier tree
in a shorter time. Do not let the plants
stand too long in one place without lift-
ing them up occasionally, for otherwise
they are bound to root through and the
acacia family do not recover easily when
the roots are broken.

One of the most beautiful varieties we
have here is A. linearis. This is inclined
to spiead more after the fashion of the
willow. They do not seed freely. I put
a couple of large plants in 8-inch pots
in the greenhouse and cut them down to
within five feet from the soil. They made
a great quantity of young shoots and I
had no difficulty in rooting them in boxes
of sand. This sort takes about twice as
long to make a tree large enough to be
salable, but it is always in demand at
very good prices. The A. floribunda is
of dwarfish growth and is more suitable
for lawn planting than for sidewalk. It
is a fairly fast grower and blooms
throughout the year. It is easily grown
from seed. A. latifolia grows fairly
fast, but I do not find it as satisfactory
a sort to grow as A. melanoxylon. A.
pycnantha is the golden wattle of Aus-
tralia and is of rapid growth. A. prav-
issima is a variety that is peculiar in
that it has thorny foliage. It is a J'ast
grower and for a thick hedge has few
equals. It grows easily from seed and
is very hardy. A. dealbata, the silver
wattle, is a very striking tree that is
covered in spring with feathery blossoms
of a beautiful golden yellow. It is not
so hardy as some of the other sorts, but
it is a valuable tree.

There are a great manv other kinds.

C.

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. — W. E. F.
Weber has added 1,000 feet of glass to
his place this summer and. having every-
thing in good shape for fall, is visiting
at Belleville, 111., and taking in the
World's Fair at St. Ix)uis.

MANCHESTER, MASS.

The annual summer show of the North
Shore Horticultural Society took place
on August 25 and proved the finest the
society had ever held. There were prizes
offered in no less than 108 regular class-
es, in addition to a number of specials.
For best display of flowers arranged for
effect, H. L. Higginson, Joseph Clark,
gardener, won the silver medal; Mrs. E.
C. Hooper, William Swan, gardener, be-
ing second. The latter showed the best
twenty plants arranged for effect. Among
the other successful exhibitors were Miss

A. G. Thayer, Mrs. W. D. Denegre, W.

B. Walker, Mrs. S. V. E. Crosby, Philip
Dexter, F. Jackson, A. Jackson, Mrs. M.
B. Mason, Mrs. C. H. Tweed, Mrs. S. P.
Blake, W. Scott Fitz, Mrs. G. E. Cabot,
Mrs. G. McLane, Mrs. T. J. Coolidge,
Mrs. Scott Annable and N. J. Murray.
In the way of miscellaneous exhibits Blue
Hill Nurseries had a fine collection of
tritomas, Southworth Bros., a collection
of phlox, and E. & J. Farquhar their new
Christmas lily, which received a first-
class certificate. The show was a most
creditable one in every way,

W. N. Craig.

Milwaukee, Wis. — Wm. Geuder, em-
ployed by the C. C. Pollworth Co., was
seriously injured by being thrown from
his wagon by a runaway horse on August
21.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

Several times this season we have re-
ported the dullest week of the summer,
only to find one duller, but that should
be a safe designation for the present pe-
riod for it is certainly the worst to date
and it doesn't seem possible that things
could be more stagnant. There is a
fair amount of shipping but it is almost
impossible to fill orders with any degree
of satisfaction, so poor are the average
receipts. Local demand is very light,
funeral work having amounted to very
little for some time.

Beauties are not quite so plentiful as
a week ago, but there are plenty of the
moderate lengths. Other roses are com-
ing in much more freely and Brides and
Maids average very poor. Prices are
lower than for a long time, plenty of
short stuff being offered at $5 per thou-
sand. The best stock cut is from old
plants. Chatenay is also plentiful and*
receipts of Liberty are ahead of require-
ments. Kaiserin is in demand. Carna-
tions are sold very cheap because of large
receipts, low quality and lack of de-
mand. A few are now being cut indoors
but are so short that the outdoor stock
generally finds preference.

The aster glut is heavier than ever and
prices run all the way from 2 cents a
bunch to 2 cents apiece, occasionally
higher for fancy stock, and one sale of
15,000 was reported last Saturday at
1 cent a bunch. A great many go to the
dump. Gladioli are in nearly the same
fix as asters. Not many dahlias are
seen, but enough. Tuberoses move slowly.
There are large offerings of "green
goods," especially asparagus.

Various Notes.

H. H. Battles, the well known Phila-
delphia retailer, was a caller at the
Review office while in Chicago for a
couple of days on his way home from the
World's Fair, where he was one week
behind the conventionites. Another caller
was Wm, Falconer, president of the
Pittsburg Florists' Club, who was in
town to attend the convention of the
Amerian Association of Cemetery Su-
perintendents.

George Weinhoeber says that, while
there has been little doing this summer.
It has been no more dull than last year.

when they felt that they did a very fair
summer business.

Ed Winterson took four days ' vacation
last week, which is worthy of note be-
cause of the way he is sticking to busi-
ness these times when persuasion is
wasted on the buyers.

The wholesalers wUl next week begin
keeping open until six o'clock. Most of
them this week resumed issuing their
weekly price lists. In Hunt's list we
read that "Chatenay will be more abun-
dant the coming season than last and
promises to be a big factor from now
on." And then there is this cheerful
report : ' ' The past dull season has been
one of the liveliest dull seasons for July
and August that we have ever had."

Frank Fischer will give up his lease on
the old Hilmers place at Blue Island
and will probably go back to Joliet. The
place has never been wholly repaired since
the big hail storm two years ago.

August Dressel, Louis Gresenz, Sam
Pearce, George Damm and Alex. Hen-
derson were over to St. Joe the other
day on a fishing" expedition. They tell
some great stories of Pearce 's success
as a fisherman, but he owns up that he
didn't get even a bite.

The F. E. Butler Floral Co. has been
incorporated by F. E. Butler, S. Butler
and J. F. Butler, capital stock $2,500. As
stated last week, they will soon open a re-
tail store at 291 Dearborn street.

Mrs. J. B. Deamud is recovering from
an illness of a couple of weeks' duration.

J. A. Budlong has had a particularly
good cut of Beauties this summer. His
place is all in nice shape and the boys
at the store are looking forward to a
very good season.

D. W. Brant is cutting roses from car-
ried over stock. His carnations, the
plantings of which have been increased
this year, are looking good.

M. Winandy is now operating ten
houses which have heretofore been leased
to a vegetable grower and has them all
planted to carnations. This gives him
twenty houses in this flower.

The Sprague, Smith Co. sold two car-
loads of glass at Saginaw to repair the
recent loss by hail.

Sinner Bros, say that they find Liberty
a good money maker, better than Meteor
at all seasons.

S. S. Skidelsky was a recent visitor.
He reports having sold over 40,000 of the
carnation Fred Burki. This is the white

which made such a good impression at
the Carnation Society's show at Detroit.
It is to be sent out in January. Wietor
Bros, have ordered 2,500.

Frank Banning, of Kinsman, O., is
sending local commission houses some
very fine gladioli of a variety called
Reuben H. Warder. Amling received a
box of them Sunday morning so badly
bruised by rough handling in transit as
to be almost unsalable.

F. W. Timme cut his first asters
August 29. He has a particularly good
strain which he has spent years in work-
ing up.

Mr. and Mrs. George Asmus have been
visiting at their old home in Buffalo.

Visitors: J, F. Sullivan, Detroit; L.
Cole. Battle Creek; C. P. Mueller, Wich-
ita, Kan.

HARRISON'S PEONY MANUAL.

A Manual on Propagation and Cultiva-
tion of the Peony has Just been issued by
C. S. Harrison, of York, Neb. In the in-
troduction we find it stated that the
pamphlet was written and compiled for
two reasons; first, because there was no
work on the subject in the English lan-
guage; second, because there ought to be.
A chapter is devoted to each phase of
peony growing, discussing it from the
standpoint of one who has spent almost
a lifetime with the flower. Then there
are a number of extracts from the writ-
ings of well known peony growers and a
long list of varieties with descriptions
generally as a result of the author's
trials. All this makes up a book very in-
teresting to every peony grower, but the
idea of the manual is to introduce the
flower to the masses.

THE YOUNGEST FLORIST.

Here are some more young florists.
Byrne Bros., of Buffalo, are aged 20
and 22. They conduct a retail store at
658 Main street and now have in course
of erection two large modern green-
houses on a tract of seven acres of well
adapted land which they bought to af-
ford opportunity for expansion.

Saginaw, Mich. — The Wm. Roethke
Floral Company is very busy repairing
the damage done by the hail storm July
22. Their entire place of 80,000 feet of
glass was practically destroyed and the
task on which they are now engaged is
in many respects worse than starting new.

Seed Trade News.

AMERICAN SEED TRAD( ASSQCUTION.

Pres., C. N. Page, Des Moines, la ; First Vioe-
Pres., li. L. May, St. Paul; Sec'y and Treas., O. E.
Kendel, Cleveland. The 23rd annual meeting
will be held on the St. Lawrence, June, 1906.

Clover seed prices are the highest in
years.

The Iowa Seed Co., Des Moines, makes
a profitable specialty of importing par-
rots.

The Harrisii crop is proving equal to
all requirements, large sizes as well as
small.

Too much rain in northern New York
and Canada is likely to shorten the pea
crop there.

On September 1 there remained 175
acres of onion sets to be harvested in
the Chicago district.

HjALMAR Hartmann, of Copenhagen,
Denmark, expects to be in Chicago by
the end of the week.

The steamer Trinidad, from Bermuda,
arriving at New York August 22, brought
513 cases of Harrisii bulbs.

O. H. B. WiESE, representing David
Sachs, of Quedlinburg, Germany, expects
to reach Chicago September 5.

S. B. Dicks, representing Cooper,
Taber & Co., London, England, is due
to reach Chicago September 2.

S. F. Leonakd, of Chicago, is making
a business trip covering the seed grow-
ing points on the Pacific coast.

The steamer Potsdam, from Amster-
dam, arriving at New York August 23,
had on board 1,897 cases of Dutch bulbs.

Yellow^ onion sets are oflfered at 4
cents per pound at Louisville, Ky., whites
at 5 cents per pound, for immediate de-
livery.

J. M. Lamb reports the outlook for
the North Carolina bulb crop very good
as to quality, but the quantity will
hardly meet the demand.

J. W. Eatekin, Shenandoah, la., re-
ports 1,500 acres Pride of the North
sweet corn already past danger of frost,
with all varieties maturing nicely.

Seedsmen will be interested in the
method by which Johnson & Stokes il-
lustrate their catalogue as described in
the Philadelphia letter in this issue.

Adam Currie, of Currie Bros., Mil-
waukee, has been appointed a member of
the international jury of awards on vege-
table food product exhibits at the World 's
Fair.

Secretary Kendel has issued the pro-
ceedings of the twenty-second convention
of the American Seed Trade Association
and has also prepared as a separate
pamphlet the address of George H. Max-
well. The latter is for general distribu-
tion.

The week's reports from the bean
fields are quite discouraging. Black wax
is showing considerable rust and other
wax sorts are not up to the average.
Green pods, excepting Longfellow, prom-
ise better. Valentine will probably give
the best yield.

E. H. Ulleey & Co., Omaha, Neb.,
who recently made an assignment of their
seed stock and fixtures, have made a
payment to their creditors of 33 1-3 cents
on the dollar.

The Cleveland Seed Co., Rochester, has
passed into the hands of S. M. Pease, H.
H. Pease and C. E. Millham, who will
grow peas, beans and sweet corn for the
wholesale trade.

Heavy rains in western Iowa and east-
ern Nebraska make the prospect for
sweet corn and vine seeds rather hard
to estimate. The present conditions are
unfavorable for these crops.

Grand Rapids, Mich.— Alfred J.*
Brown Seed Co. is now located at the
corner of Ottawa and Louis streets. Its
new building has been refitted with im-
proved machinery, making it an up-to-
date seed warehouse.

The Harry N. Hammond Seed Co., Bay
City, Mich., announces that the good will,
fixtures, stock of seeds, warehouse and
all its property and assets will be sold
at public auction on September 6 at 2
o'clock in the afternoon.

EUROPEAN SEED CROP.

It is now possible to give some partic-
ulars as to the probable yield of the seed
crops in the coming season ; the informa-
tion supplied is based upon a personal
survey of the crops in the principal seed
growing districts of Great Britain, says
the Gardeners' Chronicle, August 20:

Peas. — It iB only a reasonable expectation
that after the very wet season of last year
the condition of stock-seeds would be so Indif-
ferent that the growth of the plants would
be correspondingly Inferior, the result being
that the present season's harvest Is likely to
be a very thin one. Another factor as govern-
ing the scarcity was the fact that the price
fetched by peas last season was so high as to
be a great Inducement to sell what would
otherwise have been sown, and so the breadths
put out are smaller than usual. It seems quite
certain that seed peas will gradually rise In
value, and some sorts will be as dear as
last year. This remark applies particularly
to the late varieties, especially as It Is antici-
pated that none will be forthcoming from
the continent.

Broad Beans. — The crops In Lincolnshire and
In the adjacent bean-growing districts are seri-
ously affected by the black or smother-fly;
though it Is probable, given the continuance of
fine weather, the samples will be good.

Beans, Kidney, Runner and Dwarf. — Generally
speaking, the breadths and plants are thin, and
In certain localities, where there have been
recent rains, the flowers are now setting their
pods more numerously than previously. Reports
from Germany are of a more favorable char-
acter.

Turnips.— So extremely short Is the yield that
It Is said tlie crop may be written off as prac-
tically nil. 11 Is confldently expected that prices
for the best qualities of seeds will be very
high.

Mangel Wurzel. — The plants did not thrive In
a satisfactory manner, and thus the yield of
seed has been materially affected. Golden Tank-
ard and Golden Globe, with other forms of the
choicer stocks of Globes, will command double
the prices of last year.

Cabbages. — Varieties chiefly grown for cutting
In spring have run to bloom In a very imper-
fect manner. In more favorable localities, where
there Is an improved growth, the crop appears
to be satisfactory.

Onion. — The onion plant for seed Is not so
plentiful as last year, and bulbs for planting
for seeds another year appear to be scarce and
small. It Is assumed that the plantations made
for seeds In 1905 will be as limited as those in
1904.

Carrot. — The seed crop In this country so far
looks well. From France comes the report there

is great danger to the carrot crop from the small
white maggot which appears in the flower-beads
and practically destroys the crop.

Lettuce. — Very little lettuce Is now grown in
this country for seed-saving. In the lettuce-
growing districts ot France and Germany the
crops are favorable.

Parsley. — Good breadths are out for seed pur-
poses and so far the crops promise very well.

Home-grown Flower Seeds. — Seeds of nastur-
tium were scarce last year, but this season
promises a good crop. Sweet peas are also
promising well. Wallflowers all promise well
<'xcept the yellow section, of which there is a
likelihood of a scarcity.

Warren, O. — Adgate & Son are build-
ing a rose house 24x100 and changing
from hot water to steam, putting in a
fifty horse-power boiler. All the local
growers have their carnations benched.
Business has been good because of much
funeral work.

Greensburg, Ind. — The Greensburg
Floral Co. is movidg the greenhouse to a
new and very good location at the comer
of Broadway and McKee street, only two
blocks south of the Court House. Mrs.
H. Demer is the proprietor and J. H.
Demer the florist and manager.

CATERPILLARS.

I would be pleased to have you give
me a little advice on two things, a grey
caterpillar and a grey miller. Can you
tell me whether these millers produce
the caterpillars? If one is the cause of
the other, will you please tell me what
to do in order to either prevent or de-
stroy these pests, without injuring my
plants? K. L. S.

As our correspondent does not name
the plants infested by the caterpillars
and moths or "millers," we are un-
able to tell whether these are outdoors
or in the houses. Caterpillars, as is
well known, are the larvae of moths and
butterflies and if we can destroy the
latter before the eggs are laid, which
hatch the destructive caterpillars, much
good will have been accomplished. It
is, however, a diflcult task to do so.
Even were fumigation used strong
enough night after night to kill the
moths in tlte greenhouses, we are still
likely to have a crop of caterpillars. It
is well to kill all possible butterflies by
hand and thus lessen the crops all we
can.

At this season a caterpillar of the
nature named attacks the foliage on
chrysanthemums. Hand picking every
morning, looking under the foliage, is
the only safe cure. Spraying with in-
secticides of a poisonous nature cannot
be recommended.

Caterpillars are numerous just now
and much watchfulness is needed. A
great damage is speedily done. We
think hand picking the safest remedy
for E, L. Q. if his plants are indoors.
For outdoor trees and shrubs use Dis-
parene at the rate of four pounds to
fifty gallons of water for any which
may appear. As this insecticide whit-
ens the foliage and adheres closely to
it, plants indoors and those grown for
cutting outside should not be sprayed
with it. W. N. Ceaio.

Charles City, Ia.— M. H. Weatherbee
is giving most of his space to carna-
tions, the stock looking fine.

KANSAS QTY.

On August 23 seven Kansas City flo-
rists accepted the invitation of Geo. M.
Kellogg to visit his large establishment
at Pleasant Hill and sample the many
delicaciesi that are produced in his spa-
cious gardens and lakes. We were con-
ducted through nearly seven acres of
greenhouses by Mr. Bastion and, for the
season, we found stock remarkably
promising.

Mr. Kellogg adheres to the solid bed
plan and from the manner in which the
establishment expands we can but con-
clude that he finds profit therein. The
several houses of Meteors and American
Beauties excited the admiration of all.
Golden Gate and Ivory are grown the
second and third year with no limit to
cutting. Two of the, newer introductions,
Uncle John and General MacArthur, are
in prime condition. Mme. Chatenay has
been given more space, for there is no
doubt but what this rose with its friend.
Sunrise, has come to stay.

Three large houses of Boston ferns
show the demand is not diminishing in
this line. When we asked about the
Piersoni and its future the answer re-
ceived was certainly of a doubtful na-
ture.

Carnations were all under glass and
the bulb question was being handled
with interest. Harrisii comes to the
front in the lily line, although longiflo-
rum can hardly be dispensed with.

The large lake that supplies the plant
with water was an unexpected point of
interest from the fact that Mr. Bastien
had thoughtfully provided fishing tackle
and we found the victims easily landed.

We were then escorted to Mr. Kel-
logg's residence, where an elegant
luncheon was served with Mrs. Parker
and Miss Bush as genial hostesses. Those
participating in the pleasure trip were J.
Tobler, of Westport; F. C. Oakley, of
Kansas' City, Kan.; E. A. Humfeld, D.
Freudenthal, E. D. Ellsworth, L. M.
Schwager and C. M. Wise, of Kansas
City.

Friends of Miss Ethel Parker, grand-
daughter of Geo. M. Kellogg, will be
pleased to learn of her marriage to A.
E. Shurling, of Oregon, Mo. The cere-
mony was celebrated at the house of
the bride's parents, at Pleasant Hill.

L. M. 3. •

SCHUYLER VILLE, N. Y.

Miss Eogers, who is very pleasantly sit-
uated on the corner of Broadway and
Washington avenue, and whose place al-
ways looks especially neat and attractive,
has just been adding more room to meet
the needs of her steadily increasing trade.
It is a new carnation house, right up to
date, iron benches, etc., and a propagat-
ing house. This gives her about twice as
much glass as heretofore and she hopes
to be able to meet all demands, but look-
ing at the past it may be predicted that
it will only be a short time before she
will have to add more. The construction
work has been under the charge of the
president of the Chatham Floral Co.,
who also furnished the heating plant.

Belleville, III. — E. W. Guy is en-
tertaining his father, T. M. Guy, of St.
Joseph, Mo.

JoLiET, III. — John Lambert has pre-
sented the plants in his conservatories to
local charitable institutions and closed
the conservatories.

NUKSERY NEWS.

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF NURSERYMEN.

Prea., E. W. Klrkpatrlck, McKlnney, Tex.;
Vlce-Pres., C. L. Watroua. Dea Molnea; Sec'y,
Oeo. C. Seager, Bocheater; Treaa., C. L. Tatea,
Booheater. The 29th annual convention will be
held at Weat Baden, Ind., June, 1»06.

Snyder Bros., Minersville, Pa., have
purchased what is known as the Cockill
farm on the Llewellyn road and will es-
tablish a nursery business there.

The nurserymen of Florida are largely
increasing their plantings, especially of
citrus trees, much stock now being ex-
ported to the West Indies, Mexico, South
America and Africa.

The growing season of 1904 to date
has generally been much more favorable
than in 1903. With an ordinary digging
season nurserymen should be able to get
good stocks into the storage houses and be
much better fixed for spring than they
were the past season.

The American Peony Society has is-
sued a bulletin stating the plan under
which the society will co-operate with
the horticultural depaitment of Cornell
University in a study of the peony to
correct nomenclature. All interested
growers are invited to send three plants
of each variety for test to John Craig,
Ithaca, N. Y.

The Association of American Ceme-
tery Superintendents met in Chicago
August 23 to 25. The following new
officers were elected: President, James
H. Morton, Boston, Mass.; vice-president,
E. G. Carter, Chicago; secretary-treas-
urer, BcUett Lavvson, Harrisburg, Pa.
The next meeting will be held in Wash-
ington, D. C, at a date to be selected by
the executive committee.

Richmond, Ind., Dec. 24, 1903. A
Messrs. Baub & Smith, Indianapolis, Ind. -

Gentlemen :— We have a water famine
at our place and I have not been able to
water my plants for such a long time the
soil was as dry as the dust in the street,
so we hauled water this week and got the
plants watered well Wednesday. We are
drilling our well deeper but have no water
yet. Now the reason I tell you this is, I did
not like Indianapolis so well on account of
the petals cupping so. Well, I got water to
them and I am surprised ; even with the
drought, it is one. two. three over Lawson
to-day, petals straight and form and size
grand in every respect. I will Krow it in
place of Lawson and Dorothy. How early
can you deliver to us 1000 good cuttings ?
Let me know at once and obliKe.
Yours truly.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

Septembeb 1, 1904.

CINCINNATI.

The Market.

Business is still good, in fact consider-
ably better than it was at this time last
year. This is due, doubtless, to the fact
that there are many more flowers now
than I have ever seen at this time of
year. While stock was rather scarce last
week, there was any quantity in sight
this week, and buyers could get whatever
they wanted, except carnations. A few
field-grown ones are seen, but the quality
is very poor. It will not be long, though,
till several growers will begin to cut from
indoors. Asters are coming by the thou-
sands and the^l-ice has suffered in conse-
quence, but very few of them have found
their way to the dump. Gladioli are not
so plentiful and sell fairly well. Some
of very good quality are to be had. Tube-
roses are a little scarce and those that do
come in sell quickly.

Beauties are still in good supply and
demand. Some fine Kaiserin also sell
well. Brides, Maids and other roses from
new stock are short-stemmed and in many
cases are hard to move at a satisfactory
price, but they go well for funeral work.

Various Notes.

E. G. Gillett and family have just re-
turned from St. Louis and report a fine
time spent at the S. A. F. convention and
attending the Fair.

Max Rudolph and Gus Adrian are home
after an extended trip about the Great
Lakes. They spent a good deal of time
in fishing and it is needless to say any-
thing in regard to the numbers or size
of the finny tribe that fell victims to
their hooks.

J. Baer and wife are now at St. Louis
attending the fair.

Wm. Bolia died during the past week.
He was born in Germany and has been in
business near this city for many years.
He was .ibout 65 years old.

PLANTS FOR PARK PURPOSES.

[The following is a paper by J. T. D. Fulmer,
of Des Moines, reprinted from the bulletin of
the Iowa Park and Forestry Association.]

By greenhouse plants we mean all
tender plants usually found in stock in
a commercial greenhouse. There are two
ways in which such plants are used in
parks; first, in a flowergarden; next in
small beds scattered throughout the
parks.

"We think, however, that the former
way is to be preferred, as it is most ef-
fective, and if so arranged will prove at-
tractive. This can only be done by ar-
ranging colors so as to harmonize and
blend together.

There are many kinds of greenhouse
plants, and one has a great variety to
select from in forming a garden suitable
for a park, notwithstanding a greater
variety is required for such a garden
than is required on a private estate.
There is always an abundance however,
if one will study to group them aright.

The cannas are fine and stately and
when planted in beds of but one color to
a bed they make a good showing, espe-
cially if surrounded by Pennisetum
Bupelianum. Black Beauty caana* Is
the finest of the dark-foliaged varieties
and when bordered with Golden Bedder
coleus is exceedingly attractive. This
variety of canna should not be allowed to
bloom.

The caladium is very stately and if
bordered with Coleus Verschaflfeltii is
very handsome. Geraniums are always
welcome in any garden, if they are not
planted so as to put pink and red shades
together. If pink and red must be used
in the same bed put something between
them. Madame Salleroi is a good border
for the zonal geranium, as is also
Stevia variegata, santolina, altemanthera
and Archryanthes Emersonii.

Salvia, if grown from cuttings, is a
grand plant, and can be used as a
border for Florence Vaughan canna or

as a separate bed bordered with Abutilon
Savitzii.

Then there are the tender roses in
variety, the heliotrope, acalyphas, begon- ,
ias, dahlias, ageratum, petunias, coleus
and a host of others suitable for Bucb
work. y

The Musa ensete makea^li^nft center-
piece and should be backed up with
cannas or caladiums. • <

Then in this garden of ours there
should be carpet bedding also, and for
this we have tiiQ Stevia variegata, santo-
lina, Abutilon Savitzii, Acalypha tricolor •
and A. Macafeeana, altemanthera, eche-
veria and some of the small sedums.

I cannot say that I disapprove the
use of flags, clocks, calendars and the
like, for we see the same idea carried out
in many places. Flowers are used in the
decoration of carpets and lace curtains
and if permissible there, certainly in
parks also, worked out with live
plants, especially if well done.

The general grouping of all the beds
should be so arranged as to allow plenty
of room for spectators to move among
them conveniently.

Then also must be included sub-tropi-
cal bedding; and here is an opportunity
for arranging a portion of the green-
house plants which will ulways prove at-
tractive. The use of Abyssinian banana,
large specimen palms, agaves, dracsenas,
pandanuses, crotons and some of the
many beautiful grasses are allowable.

And just here let me say that all
plants sihould be plainly labeled so that
visitors can easily understand what they
are, and my observations lead me to say
that a garden thus arranged will draw
the greater part of the visitors to our
city parks. For there la no doubt bat
that a place can be made more attractive
by the use of flowers than in any other
way.

FROM OUR ENGLISH EXCHANGES.

The Gardeners' Chronicle.

The. GENERAL opinion is that sawdust
is worse than useless, but it becomes
valuable if burnt. It is suggested to
burn it mixed with vegetable rubbish, '
then to sift the ashes and mix them with
sifted earth. This has been proved by
experience to be a very valuable top-
dressing.

So LONG as the clear stem below the
tulip flower will snap sharply on being
bent, the time for lifting the bulb has
not come, but when the stems will bend
double without snapping off, the bulbs
may be taken up. The florist takes the
greatest care of his bulbs when lifted;
they are placed in drawers having re-
ceptacles answering to the position of
the bulb in the bed. As a rule the tulip
cabinet is so constructed that air can
circulate among the drawers, ensuring
cool and dry conditions for the bulbs.

Sedaua, Mo. — Gelven & Son have re-
cently purchased six city lots one block
south of their plant, making fifteen lots
to be devoted to their business. They
will at once proceed to put up four ad-
ditional greenhouses 130 feet long, using
iron frames. They will also build a
new fireproof boiler house and install a
double heating plant, both steam and hot
water. When these improvements are
completed the plant will be the third
largest in Missouri and for up-to-date-
ness will be excelled by none.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^^

September 1, 1904.

BRAMPTON, ONT.

Most of the growers in this district
are about through with the planting of
carnatioius, except the Dale Estate, and
here the work is being pushed with all
speed. The plants arte lifting in the very
best shape and late rains are helping
very much. Practically no wilting is seen,
owing to the dull weather, and the only
variety showing the effects of the lifting
is Glacier. The summer planted carna-
tions are showing good growth and are
giving some fair blooms. The roses are
well up to the average and some good
Bride and Maid are being cut.

Wm. Fendley is busy with his new
range and has the rafters up on two of
the houses. These houses are twentv feet
six inches in width and have three
benches, the center bench being built to
carry rails for a car to empty and fill
the benches. At the Fendley establish-
ment some very good Queen Louise were
cut during August and those seen last
week would compare very favorably with
those cut earlier in the season, Mr.
Fendley is planting largely of this vari-
ety for white. W. jl).

Lisbon, O. — John W. Scott is about
to add one house 20x75 feet to his estab-
lishment.

BILL

I

YOU WANT PROFITS

which continue to
grow. The reasons why

"Burnham" Boilers

will save coal for you
is that there is a large
combustion chamber,
also a large act-
ive fire surface
for each square
foot of grate.
They heat easily,
quickly, efficient-

ADIANTIM CROWEANIM

The New Maidenhair Fern.

FTER A THOROUGH and careful examination by all the experts and critics in
the trade at the St. Louis Convention, and stood the test so well, the pro-
gressive, keen and up-to-date florist should this year buy this standard intro-
duction that is freely conceded to be the best keeping, lasting and money-makinj,
both for cut fronds and plants of all Adiantums ever introduced to the trade. :

A Great Acquisition.

The best of all ferns for cut fronds. Brlngrs the highest prices.
The easiest to grow and the easiest to sell. Has received the high-
est encomiums from the leading cut flower dealers in the country.

AJOIANTUM CRO^KANUM originated at Utica, N.Y.. about
fourteen years ago, and has been extensively grown by the original
owner, Mr. Crowe, who has received piienomenal prices for the cut
fronds in the New York and other markets, and has created a great
demand for it. Bay now. Buy liberally and reap the benefits.

The fronds are Iodk. elegantly proportioned and of a texture
that renders It the best keeper and shipper of all Adiantums. It is
a very free and continuous grower, requires no rest and responds
readily to fertilizers. Anyone can grow it and get good money for It.

HOW IT PLEASES AFTER TRAVaiNG ACROSS THE CONTINENT.

IN DESIGN...

TABLE CENTER-PIECES.

Seek Simplicity.

A table center-piece may be the most
free and easy in arrangement of any
floral design. It is the one which people
look at longest and study the most. It
follows that it should be of the best
possible quality and arrangement, as near
perfect as possible, A funeral design,
upon which you may spend hours of
painstaking labor, is passed over with a
glance, and even an elaborate wedding or
reception decoration must share attention
with the excitement of a minute or two.
But when the guests reach the dining-
room, they are ready to sit down and
look at something, so here is your chance
to transport a bit of the woods or the
garden and be sure of attention and ap-
preciation. Have before you a simple
ideal. Simplicity as applied to design
means precisely what it does in other
spheres, unaffected, not complicated, neat,
sweet, plain.

The tables you will ordinarily be called
upon to decorate will be those for lunch-
eons, dinners, receptions and banquets.
Of aU these perhaps the leception is the
easiest, for it is likely to be a square
or round table, where only those who
pour are seated. The others, for any
. number of guests, are likely to be either
a number of small tables, with very little
space to be had for decoration, or long
tables upon which the decoration neec£
to be stretched out to be enjoyed in the
same degree by all the guests.

Never Obscure the View.

About the first thing in table decora-
tions that any experienced florist will call
your attention to would be to regulate
the height of your decorative scheme to
suit the convenience of the guests.
Never obscure the view across the table.
It would be awkward to make the guests
look up to see the decoiations; so the
low basket and plaque decorations have
come into vogue. The one exception to
this rule is in the case of the reception
table. Theie the guests are seated or
stand around the dining-room, and the
table center-piece should be rather tall
for their benefit. The only objection
you will meet to a tall reception table
center-piece will be that those who pour
at the opposite sides may have difficulty
to converse across the table. This may
be remedied by making the center-piece
airy and not at all solid, which is a de-
sirable quality anyhow. By no means
allow the reception center-piece to be so
low as to appear insignificant between
the tall urns.

The Low Center-piece.

But to our low center-piece, which is
the topic for discussion today. The one
before us is of blue cornflowers and
Euphorbia corollata, touched with a
bunch of foxtail grass. The receptacle
is a low wicker basket of a shade of
blue blending with that of the flowers.
This color scheme is most suitable for a
daylight decoration. Line the basket

with tinfoil. Fill with sphagnum two
inches higher than the edge on one side,
and an inch or two below the edge of
the basket on the opposite side. Be
especially careful to guard against any
dripping from the moss. There is no
need of tying the moss in the basket,
nor covering it v/ith the green, for the
flower stems and the foliage will be
thick enough in the completed piece to
cover the sphagnum. ,

Stem three or four flowers together on
one three-quarters pick, as per general
directions for stemming given hereto-
fore. Leave the buds and foliage on.
Chit the flowers from six to twelve inches
long, keeping the majority under eight
inches. Have only a few as long as
twelve inches, and let these be the ones
most inclined to droop. Fill from the
center outward. The heaviest parts are
at the back right corner and the back of
the piece proper. Here the cluster of
cornflowers is set in with the stem ends
close together and the tops spreading.
The two heavy groups spoken of just

sent a clump cut off one end of a patch
of cornflowers, as seen growing in the
garden. The opposite side of the piece,
of course, will present a different ap-
pearance, which is all the better. Sprinkle
the piece when complete, but not liberally
enough to drip from the edges. Place
on the table at the last possible mo-
ment. This color scheme is especially
good to use with delft blue china. Oc-
casionally you will have a call for odd
coloring like this. Other colors might be
used for the basket with these same flow-
ers, or white. Before stemming the
flowers let them stand in water two or
three hours, if possible.

This style of arrangement might be
used with equally good effect with mar-
guerites, mignonette, peas and other
small, slender-stemmed flowers. Have the
foliage, flowers, basket and materials
scrupulously clean. A spot on the linen
cannot be removed at the last moment.
No embroidered center-piece is neces-
sary with this style of flower center-
piece. Gertrude Blair.

Conventions and Trade.

Eeferring to the Pacific coast notice
in the Review under date of August 25,
wherein your correspondent belittles the
practice of entertaining conventions, I

narrow and so short-sighted that I can
not imagine any business man in any
community would sanction it. Least of

pear to be points common to themselves.
Clustering flowers connect the groups and
follow the remaining outlines of the
basket. The euphorbia is cut in um-
brella-like clusters and stemmed one to
a pick. It is not used as a filler, al-
though inserted in the lighter parts and
the edges. Foxtail grass both lightens
the upper outline of the piece and com-
pletes the symmetry of the top. The
longer-stemmed small groups of cornflow-
ers make the balancing points on the
sides and break the solid side outlines
of the piece.

The whole piece is intended to repre-

all would it be expected from a member
of our noble craft. Your correspondent
dwells particularly on the fact that it
does not benefit the florists, when every
reasonable, thinking person must admit
that no matter for what the money is
spent, so long as it is spent in a given
city, it must benefit all in that commu-
nity. Your correspondent particularizes
the Knights Templar, and I know for
a fact that the Knights Templar as
a rule leave more money per capita
in cities they visit than any other
organization. "We well remember, when
they visited our city in 1889, what
a magnificent sum of money they left.

ATTRACTION.

I overheard a conversation between
two eminent gentlemen relating to the
success of a prominent business man with
which the two were familiar. One com-

mented that his principal cause of suc-
cess was due to his thorough organiza-
tion. "He has able assistants in every
department." "Yes," said the other,
' ' they 're all expert in their line. It
would be hard for him to fill their
places." "Not at all," said the one,
"a man of his ability would attract oth-
ers just as good and their places would
soon be filled." From which we may
readily infer that it is the commanding
general after all who is largely respon-
sible for results. Feank B. White.

WATCH THE INSECTS.

The early buds are swelling rapidly
now and some of the earlier kinds are be-
ginning to show color. Syringing over-
head should be discontinued with these
plants, and also in cases where crown
buds are breaking through their husky
covering. A crown bud generally forms
itself into a miniature cup and when
water lodges in this depression it some-
times causes the bud to rot and renders
it useless. Now is the time to be certain
that no red spider is present, because
when syringing can no longer be prac-
ticed the spider will increase and mul-
tiply at an enoimous rate. It is not at
all an unusual thing to see a flower
spoiled completely by nothing else but
spider.

Black and green fly must also be ban-
ished completely now. The green fly
particularly often secretes itself in the
buds and its presence is not observed
till too late to do anything. Light
but persistent fumigating should be prac-
ticed. In a small house aphis punk is
clean, easy and satisfactory. The grower
having a large quantity of plants must
perforce use tobacco stema or dust, ow-
ing to the expense entailed. Along about
this time the festive grasshopper gets
busy, eating the extreme tip of the
shoot or gnawing two-thirds through the
stem just below the bud, causing the
bud to fall of its own weight, and in-
ducing much profanity among growers
at this case of "love's labor lost."
Hand picking is the only way to clean
out grasshoppers and early in the morn-
ing, while they are still drowsy and
slow-moving, is about the only time to
catch them easily.

Taking Up Plants Outside.

After September 1 it is time to take
up any plants that are planted outside
and get them potted up. Do not destroy
more roots than you can help, or the re-
sult will be a serious check to the plants,
causing them to lose a great deal of
foliage. Carefully lifted and put in pots
or boxes and shaded from the sun for
several days, with frequent syringing,
plants will take hold of the new soil and
grow away almost at once, with little
trouble. Growing outside and lifting in
the early fall is a much cheaper method
than growing plants continuously in pots.

More Novelties.
In addition to the varieties mentioned
last week as under trial, we may name

the following as most prominent at pres-
ent writing:

Mrs. W. Higgle is a seedling of H.
Weeks' and classed by him as the largest
he has ever raised. It is a pure white
Japanese. The best variety we have pre-
viously received from this grower is Mrs.
H. Weeks and he thinks Mrs. Higgle a
great improvement on Mrs. Weeks. At
present it is not nearly so strong in
growth as Weeks, making a long, slender
giowth more like Florence Molyneaux.
It may prove to be a good commercial
white, as it makes small foliage and can
be planted close together.

Another white that looks extremely
promising is Emily Mileham. This va-
riety at present is a perfect pyramid
of growth. The picture of the flower
shows a beautiful shapely petal and if
it is only full enough in the center it
will be a grand variety, as we are shy on
exhibition whites at present. It is said
to closely resemble Mile. T. Key, a va-
riety that we considered a queen in its
class some nine years ago. This latter
kind unfortunately soon went the way
of all flesh, as it was at best a delicate
grower, but Mileham at present is the
strongest and most healthy looking of a
large batch of novelties.

Mrs. J. Dunn is another white that
has been largely exploited as a wonder.
At present its showing is nothing very
great, though it is dwarf and seemingly
well constihited.

Lady Cranston, as the white sport from
Mrs. Barkley, has. had a phenomenal sale
in England. Personally we never could
handle Mrs. Barkley as well as some
other growers, but we have seen phenom-
enal flowers of this variety set up in
New York by the Hudson river giowers.
Lady Cranston will doubtless appeal to
those experts on account of its parent-
age.

From Silsbury we get this year two
varieties, Valerie Greenham and J. H.
Silsbury. Valerie Greenham is evidently
immense, flowers measuring ten inches
wide and ten inches deep. It is a bright
pink and will probably help to drive an-
other nail in the coffin of poor old Morel,
for so many years our standard in a pink
Japanese.

Silsbury, from its photograph and
color, which is given as a light crimson
with golden yellow reverse, is evidently
much like Lord Hopetoun. Time, which
proveth all things, will show if it is any
improvement. It is a dwarfer, stouter
grower than Hopetoun. It is raised from

the same seed head as Mrs. Vallis and
is quite as large as that variety. Mrs.
Vallis was well distributed this spring
and the way it is exhibited will be a good
index as to the value of J. H. Silsbury.
These are at present the most promi-
nent of a long list of new kinds imported
from the four corners of the earth and
while, when one looks at the bills, some-
times it is apt to be nerve-racking, still
if there is anything good we must have
it, no matter what the cost or trouble.
Progress is the watchword of American
horticulture and the mum grower must
get in line with the rest of the proces-
sion. Brian Boru.

CARNATION NOTES.-EAST.

Summer Bloom.

If you intend to plant a few varieties
for blooming outside next summer, prep-
arations should now be made. First-
class blooms cannot be grown in the fleld
on account of conditions being beyond
control. Stems will be shorter, flowers
smaller and more or less aflPected by rain
and dew; in fact, the quality is much be-
low those grown under glass, but as the
demand is mostly for an inexpensive
grade during July and August, the prod-
uct will find a market and at a fair
profit, too, as aside from the room taken
up by the young stock during the win-
ter, theie is little expense connected with
their growth, so the risk is not great in
venturing a trial lot at least.

Varieties that are quick to get estab-
lished and which bloom soon after hous-
ing generally give the best results and
from these the most desirable cuttings
can be obtained. It is best to take cut-
tings that have grown since housing.
Any tak^n from plants as lifted or when
in the field do not take kindly to the
propagating bench and even should a
small percentage root, they never make
satisfactory plants. Choose a bench in
the coolest place possible and fill with
fresh sand. Insert the cuttings as in
winter propagation except that more
space must be given between and in the
rows. See that the bench has good drain-
age or the extra watering required at
this time of year may cause a case of rot
to set in.

As soon as rooted we used to pot into
2% -inch pots, but found by pricking into
flats much time and space was saved at
a period when very valuable. Potted
later into small pots and shifted as re-
quired, just as good plants were pro-
duced. Use fresh soil without manure
in the flats, but at first potting add a
small quantity, increasing the amount
slightly at each shift. The object is to
get a stocky plant of slow growth, but
not necessarily large, for if grown cool
they will have had a partial rest and start
off rapidly when planted out.

Prepare the ground this fall in which
they are to flower. This will save val-
uable time in the spring and allow early
planting, which is a necessity to suc-
cess. It is very likely that a judicious
use of water will be desirable at times
during the summer, so locate them within
reach of the hose. Geo. S. Osborn.

reports from your section I would rec-
ommend the following varieties to grow
in the open ground: Ethel Crocker, Mrs.
Lawson and Wm. Scott for pink, Flora
Hill, Gov. Wolcott and Prosperity for
white, Portia, Crane and America for
red and Eldorado for yellow. I don't
think you will miss it on any of these
varieties, but after a season's trial you
will be able to select those which give
you the best returns. There may be
some other native varieties which have
not found their way east, but are among
the best to grow under conditions which
prevail in your locality.

CARNATIONS WITH ROSES.

What is the best pink or white car-
nation to plant on a side bench in a
rose house, with a night temperature of
56 degrees? The bench is two and one-
half feet from the glass. C. L.

There are no carnations that will do
their best planted in a rose house, and I
would not advise you to plant carnations
in a house which must be run to suit the
loses. However, the one variety that will
suffer perhaps less than any other under
those conditions is IMrs. Lawson. This
variety will also keep about as short as
any I know of and two and one-half
feet of head room will do very well
for it. Floia Hill will stand that tem-
perature better than any other white ex-
cept Gov. Wolcott, but the latter grows
too tall for your bench. I would not
propagate my next season's stock from
that bench either, because you will find
the cuttings less vigorous than those
grown in a lower temperature and with
more air than you dare give your roses.
I have seen this tried a number of times,
but never with much success, and by
good growers, too. A. F. J. Baur.

TUBEROUS ROOTED BEGONIAS.

Very near our front door is a bed of
these handsome flowering plants. The
bed is about nine feet in diameter. It has
been quite amusing to sit on the veranda
of a summer evening and hear the dear
old ladies from the lural districts pro-
nounce them almost everything but what
they are. This beautiful bedding plant
has been lately written up in the columns
of the Review and the undersigned has
often declared his belief that in beauty
and variety of color and form they far
surpass a bed of the most brilliant gera-
niums.

The corins were bought of an eastern
house as ' ' good mixed " at a cost of 2
or 3 cents each. Some of the single
blossoms aie more than five inches across.
Some are double and almost every shade
of color is represented, except blue. From
deepest crimson to purest white, all
shades of scarlet, red and pink and rich-
est orange to primrose yellow, all are
there.

This little bed has the doubtful bene-
fit of the partial shade from an elm tree.
We have seen, in the Buffalo parks, bet-
ter beds of begonias than this and in
the fullest sun.

These plants were started in flats at
the end of March. When a leaf or two
and a few roots were made, they were
potted into 3-inch and 4-inch pots, ac-
cording to size and strength of plant,
and plunged in a mild hot-bed, where
they remained during May, with the glass
off during the latter part of the month,
and were planted out in the bed early
in June. The bed has been most brilliant

and attractive since the middle of June
and I am sorry the photograph repro-
duced gives such a poor idea of the bloom
and color.

The fern in the background is an eight-
inch pot plant of John Scott's nephro-
lepis. The two night blooming cereuses
sitting under the kentia were not intend-
ed to be so conspicuous. To a casual
observer they may appear of the same
age, but they are not. Cultural direc-
tions for these will be dispensed with for
the present.' W. S.

ROSES.

Responsibility of Ni^ht Man.

As we are now approaching the sea-
son when steady firing at night will have
to be resumed, our first care should be
the selection of a suitable night man
to whom we can delegate our responsibil-
ity for twelve out of the twenty-four
daily hours. In the larger and most up-
to-date establishments this functionary
has of late years occupied his proper po-
sition, but in far too many of the smaller
and medium-fized places any ordinary
help is considered good enough for the
position. Employers frequently select
men who by reason of their physical de-
fects are unable any longer to keep pace
among the day hands.

It is unnecessary to say that this
method of selection is seldom favored by
either the foreman or section hands, who
know that without a thoroughly qualified
night man in charge their best efforts
during the day are nullified and that all
their care, skill and labor count for little
when such a man takes charge.

The responsibilities which this man
has to shoulder entitle him to a good
salary, and to be able to earn it he must
possess qualifications surpassing the or-
dinary day laborer who has always some

one to guide him and to whom he can
appeal for advice when in need.

The ideal night man must of necessity
have a practical knowledge of the ordi-
nary conditions required in a greenhouse
and at the same time have a thorough
knowledge of his heating plant, firing in-
cluded. He must also have so much of a
mechanical knowledge as to be able to
make simple repairs, be able to judge
quickly and accurately and have sense
enough to know that the judgment of the
foreman, who has the entire responsibil-
ity, is more likely to be more mature
than his own, should be carried out to
the letter, and in spirit, and that except
in cases of emergency his nightly in-
structions should be carried out to the
letter.

Above all, he must be strictly tem-
perate. Avoid encouraging company in
the boiler room. Company usually means
card playing, with its concomitants.
Smoking and drinking means neglect of
duty and, however well intentioned the^
man may be, he usually after a while
succumbs and loss occurs. ,

Select a good, trustworthy man, pay
him well, treat him well and it will pay
you. RiBES.

OVER-WATERED ROSES.

I send some rose leaves and would like
to have you tell me why they turn so
light colored and what to do to pre-
vent it. C. H.

The reason why these leaves have as-
sumed this shade of color is not far to
seek. They have been over-watered and
chilled during the night and exposed to
too high a temperature during the day.
To prevent this condition water early
and judiciously; give plenty of ventila-
tion. Take particular care that the
houses are freely aired during the night,

even though firing has to be kept up all
night. By this method you will have a
sweet atmosphere in the house, prevent-
ing that heavy condensation which must
have prevailed in your rose houses every
morning. EflSES.

TROUBLE OF A YOUNG GROWER.

I have one house of Brides and Maids
planted in solid beds. Some of these
plants are several years old, having b^n
cut back each summer, rested and ; then
started again. During the early part
of July I commenced drying them off
gradually. At the end of two weekB I
cut themj back to about six inches from
the surface of the beds and rubbed off
the shading on the glass. I was absent
for a few days and during that time
my employer gave the roses a good water-
ing, having forgotten that they were still
resting. Shortly after that the eyeg be-
gan to break and shoots made their ap-
pearance.

The soil being exhausted, I was anxious
to have it removed and a new top dress-
ing put on and as the shoots were grow-
ing rapidly, I made all haste to do this,
We removed ab<!mt two aAd a half or
three inches between the rows, disturbing
the roots as little as possible, but during
this operation we were interrupted sev-
«ral times and in order to keep the sun
from drying the soil and any protruding
roots I gave the benches a light water-
ing. Unfortunately no compost had
been prepared and so we were obliged to
cut and mix our soil and manure as it
was carried in, using equal parts of good
fresh clay loam and well rotted cow ma-
nure with a little bone meal and lime
added. This top diessing has now been
on the benches about ten days and the
young foliage has a very light green or
yellow color and is rather thin.

I gave one watering after the dress-
ing was put on and none since, only
syringing the plants on bright days and

had died out last winter and so I le-
moved about six or seven inches of soil in
those places and today planted young
plants from 4-inch pots in that space,
using fresh clay loam with one-quarter
cow nuanure. These young roses had been
out of doors all summer and appear
quite healthy, the foliage being dars
in color and quite tough. Shall I treat
them just like June-planted stock?

I have had three years' experience in
roses, carnations, violets, mums, etc., and
your notes on roses have been very help-
ful to me and put into practice whenever
possible. I am deeply interested in all
my work, but find it very hard and often
discouraging to grow stock under exist-
ing unfavorable conditions. This is the
only greenhouse plant here in a town of
6,500 and if I stay here this winter I
want to get those roses in shape again
and if you can help me will be very
grateful to you. I came here last fall
and turned out good roses and carnations
last winter. W. E. D.

One reason why these roses failed to
do well apparently lies in the fact that
the soil was not removed before root ac-
tion was started. As I have frequently
pointed out in my notes, any operation
which is likely to in any way interfere
with the roots should be done while they
are as nearly dormant as possible.

Another, and I think the most imme-
diate cause of the trouble, can be
ascribed to the use of lime and bone in
combination in the mulch. There can be
little doubt but that this is the reason
of the thin, discolored foliage. Lime
is to most rose soils very beneficial, and
so is bone meal, but the use of the two
in combination releases more ammonia
than even a strong, healthy rose in all
its vigor can find use for, and conse-
quently the effect on stock just started
must be very detrimental.

To remedy this state of matters, after

damping the walks and woodwork.
The ventilators are wide open on all fa-
vorable occasions and at night are open
about four or five inches; warm nights
more. There is no shading on the glass
at present. No steam has been turned
on yet and during rainy or sultry weather
we have used sulphur to check mildew.

Can you tell me what the trouble is,
and how to remedy same? Should the
soil be tamped or firmed?

On one bench quite a number of plants

the stock has absorbed so much poison,
is no easy matter. The mulch should
be removed as quickly as possible and a
lighter one composed of equal parts of
decomposed cow manure and good fibrous
loam substituted. The soil should be kept
moderately dry and the temperature be-
low 56° at night when possible, with
abundance of ventilation at all times.

The lecently planted young stock will
succeed under the treatment as recom-
mended for June-planted stock. Eibes.

FAIRMOUNT PARK.

It was a beautiful August day, clear
and cool, one of those rare days in mid-
summer that seem/ expressly intended for
outdoor enjoyment. Horticultural Hall,
the floricultural center of Fairmount
Paik, Philadelphia, stood out strongly in
the morning light, with its high towers
and curved glass sides, surrounded on
every side by splendid trees, many from
distant climes; beautiful green lawns,
dotted with patches of brilliant color;
smooth gravel walks and drives, and on
the east the Schuylkill, flowing on to
meet its sister river beyond the great
city. The picture is dear to every true
Philadelphian and one that especially
appeals to the florist with true love for
his chosen calling.

The first thing to do after a few
moments given to sentiment is to find
the manager and get from himi a few
practical ideas that may be of use to
florists and gardeners. Xavier E.
Schmitt, who has had charge of the ex-
tensive greenhouses and grounds about
the hall for the past four years, was
hard at work potting "cyps, " a job that
was courteously postponed to do the
honors of the place for an old comrade
of many years' standing. The northern
range of five greenhouses, each about
20x100 feet, contained part of a grow-
ing collection of orchids. A very prom-
ising lot of ehiysanthemums, both in
pots and planted out in the bench, a
creamy white variety, New York, was
pointed out as a good thing, not often
seen elsewhere. An interesting lot of
small agaves was pointed out.

Here came the presentation with due
solemnity to the chief, Oglesby B. Paul,
who succeeded the late Charles H. Miller
as landscape gardener to the park, a po-
sition of importance, demanding knowl-
edge, taste and originality of ideas.

At the east end of the hall figures rep-
resenting the centennial and present
years and nmltese crosses are prettily
laid out on the terrace with echeverias
and alternantheras, a novel edge to the
white stone steps being made with golden
coleus and Eranthemum atropurpureum.
Across the driveway, opposite these
main entrance steps, aie the crescent and
surrounding cactus beds illustrated, the
feature of the east end planting. The
effect is very striking, the tall, slender
cacti standing erect like sentinels, each
exactly in the proper position on the
many-hued carpet of altemanthera and
echeveria. There are many varieties of
cacti in the collection, some of them very
rare. A large addition was received from
the south this season, as shown in illus-
tration of winter quarters.

Three varieties of altemanthera fur-
nish the necessary colors: Brilliantis-
sima, an improvement on paronychioides
major and amcena spectabilis; Prospect
Park, a dark rich shade, reminding one
of a little of versicolor, and aurea nana,
green and gold.

In echeverias, the old secunda glauca
has been discarded as too "weedy," al-
though another sort under the same name
finds favor. E. imbricata is prized for
its silver foliage and its erect habit. E.
rosacea is a favorite among the flat va-
rieties. E. sanguineum, E. metallica and
a variety called, I think, E. globosa ex-
tensa, aie very pretty.

Here the park guard's third whistle
compelled even ardent plant lovers to
recollect that the paymaster must not
be kept waiting. After a short inter-
mission, the parterre, or sunken garden,
running from the west end of the hall
toward George's Hill, was next admired.

Cactus Bedding near Horticultural Hall, Fairmount Park, Philadelphia.

It is a beautiful piece of work, present-
ing a life-like varietjr of color that must
be seen to be appreciated. The beds are
laid out on the grass in a series of ovals,
■circles and bands with graceful festoons
on the sloping sides. In geraniums, Le
Pilot is the leading scarlet. Alphonse
Bicard is on trial, Madame Thibaut, for-
merly the best bedding pink^ so-called,
is out of favor. La Favorite has re-
placed Swan as the best white. The va-
lieties of coleus are Verschaffeltii, Queen
Victoria, Golden Bedder and another and
•stronger yellow, called, I think, Golden
Prince.

Achyranthes Lindenii and Stevia ser-
lata vaiiegata, once so popular here,
liave been replaced by Eranthemum
atropurpureum and Abutilon Duke of
Malakoff. Acalypha tricolor is much
more prominent than of yore. In masses
it rivals fine beds of crotons in richness
and brilliancy of coloring.

The economic house was in excellent
condition. Some recently added cattleyas
and other orchids were in bloom, also a
fine plant of African violet, Saintpaulia
lonantha, with a profusion of small, deep
fclue flowers, but with foliage suggestive
■of the gloxinia. Some twenty-five new
■varieties of marantas have lately been
acquired. Some root pruned and freshly
potted specimens were enjoying such an
excessively high degree of humidity that
a retreat was too soon demanded by the
-weakness of the flesh.

The lawns and herbaceous gardens
outside were in excellent condition, the
phloxes and rudbeckia adding richness
to the effect. Phil,

WITH BOSTON GROWERS.

Wm. H. Elliott, Brighton, Mass.

William H. Elliott, of Brighton, has
for a number of years been one of the
largest and most successful growers for
the Boston market. In at least one of
his specialties he has acquired a na-
tional reputation; that is, in the culture
of Asparagus plumosus. A number of
lofty houses, one or two of them thirty-
five feet high, are devoted to asparagus,
and Mr. Elliott ships extensively. He
has thousands of fine strings fit for mar-
ket. Asparagus Sprengeri fills several
houses and quantities of plants are being
grown in the field and will be lifted
shortly. Chrysanthemums were noted in
quantity outdoors. Several thousands
are grown in bush form and find a ready
market, mostly in 7-in<;h pots. Varieties
included such old popular sorts as Bon-

naffon, Ivory, Midge, Sunderbruch, Mrs.
J. E. Neville and others. No single stems
are grown at all.

Eoses have always been one of Mr.
Elliott's specialties. In the culture of
these he has been eminently successful.
Quite a number of houses are devoted to
these, varying from 100 to 480 feet in
length. Varieties grown are Bride,
Bridesmaid, Liberty, Kaiserin and Car-
not. Several houses of the two latter
sorts were giving a grand lot of blooms,
stemfi long and stout. Liberty is well
Hked here. Grafted plants seemed to
show no particular advantage over own-
root stock. Beauties are little grown
here now, being handled at Mr, Elliott's
farm near Dover, N. H., where he re-
cently erected an 800-foot house. .We
noted that solid beds were being sub-
stituted for raised benches in the largest
house of Brides and Maids.

C F. Holbrow, Brighton, Mass.

C. F, Holbrow, of Brighton, grows a
general line of stock, including decora-
tive plants. Several houses are devoted
to roses, Brides and Bridesmaids being
exclusively grown. In carnations, Fair
Maid is a prime favorite. As nt Mr,
Elliott's, the houses here are built on a
side hill. In Mr. Holbrow 's case the
hill is very steep and it entails many
steps and considerable climbing.

Wm. Sim, Cliftondale, Mass.

During the past winter and spring
finer sweet peas and violets were placed
on the Boston market than ever before.
We doubt very much if any of the noted
Bhinebeck growers grew such violets, and
certainly no finer sweet peas were pro-
duced in America. The grower of these
remarkable flowers was a modest, unas-
suming, but nevertheless canny Aber-
denian Scotchman, at OTftondale, Mass.,
named William Sim. A visit to the
establishment is interesting and profit-
able. It shows that Mr, Sim is dis-
tinctly a specialist, and the days of
specialists are not over, whatever croak-
ers may say to the contrary.

He has been located at his present
stand a little over five years, and surely
his trim, well-kept grounds and clean,
thrifty stock grown in ideal houses at-
test his perseverance, hard work and
skill, A new house 30x360 was just be-
ing completed at the time of our visit.
Although not designed or built by any
greenhouse architect; this is a model of
what a commercial house should be.
Height is fifteen feet to the ridge. Steam
heating is all along the sides. Sweet

peas Mont Blanc and Earliest of All are
planted in rows six feet apart length-
wise of this house. Later Princess of
Wales violets are set between the rows
and give a good picking until the sweet
peas shade them too much. A house of
similar siz(i now devoted to cucumbers
will also be planted with sweet peas.

Chrysanthemums fill four large houses,
75,000 single-stemmed plants being
grown. These are in splendid condition.
They include large batches of such use-
ful market sorts as Ivory, Bonnaffon,
White Bonnaffon, Wanamaker (still a
favorite here), A. J, Balfour, Mrs,
Coombes, Timothy Eaton and Yellow
Eaton, Appleton, Perrin, Shrimpton,
Monrovia, Halliday and others, A con-
siderable number of the newer sorts, such
as Dr, Enguehard, Duckham, Mrs.
Thirkell, Ethel Fitzroy, Vallis, Henry
Barnes and Mildred Ware are being
grown. We hope Mr, Sim will exhibit in
Boston next November, as we believe
he intends to do.

Two houses are devoted to tomatoes.
Stone filled one and Rochford the other.
These had been giving heavy crops, five
tons having been taken from a house
of Stone 200 feet long and many fruits
remained. Outdoors, trained to single
stems, 6,000 plants are grown. These
are all planted from pots and give a very
early, profitable crop.

The chrysanthemum and tomato houses,
as well as a number of long frames, are
filled with Princess of Wales violets la-
ter, of which 60,000 are grown. Every-
thing on Mr, Sim's place, particularly
under glass, was scrupulously clean, no
weeds visible at all. His attention to
these details is something that many
other florists might well emulate.

POINT JUDGING.

Various suggestions have been made
during the past few years for so modify-
ing methods of judging as to give the
competing collections awards more
closely approximating their relative val-
ues than is possible when three prizes are
given in the classes in accordance with
the orthodox practice, says the Garden-
ers' Magazine, For several years past
the Beddington, Carshalton and Walling-
ton Horticultural Society has provided a
class for vegetables in which the prizes
are awarded to the collections in exact
accordance with their relative merits,
and the competition invariably gives rise
to much interest among both exhibitors
and visitors. This class is set apart for

nine distinct kinds, and it is stipulated
that "six prizes, amounting to £5 in
the aggregate, will be divided proportion-
ately with the points of ment awarded
to the collections." At the society's ex-
hibition held on Monday there was as
usual a strong competition, there being
ten entries all more or less meritoiious.
The best six collections were selected by
the judges, and the produce pointed with
the following results: First prize, 59
points; second prize, 52 points; third
prize, 51 points; fourth prize, 50%
points; fifth prize, 49 points; and sixth
prize, 44 points. It will thus be seen
that the difference in the value of the
prizes awarded to the several exhibitors
was very small, more particularly be-
tween the fourth and fifth. This metho'd
of judging necessarily requires great
care, and occupies much time. This lat-
ter point is perhaps the most objection-
able ~ as if the method were general a
small army of censors would have to be
employed, because of the time occupied
in determining the point value of each
product in the collections, and then en-
tering up the points. We cannot, there-
fore, suggest the adoption of the system
in awarding the prizes in the whole of
the classes at a show, but there is so
much that is interesting associated with
the method that the provision of one or
two classes to be judged in accordance
therewith can be strongly recommended.

HEDGES OF SEVERAL KINDS.

We have a customer who wants about
400 feet of hedge planted around a lot,
leaving the front open. What sort of
hedge would you recommend as being
the most suitable for the winter climate
of lldinnesota, and also the most orna-
mental and best growing! Kindly give
us a brief outline of different kinds and
also best time of planting and piuning.
E. S. F.

It is seldom we are assigned such a

the hedge take the form of a brick wall
called a spite fence. This is deplorable
and is very infrequent in this liberal and
broad-minded country. Sometimes a
hedge is planted as a shelter from a pre-
vailing cold wind, but more often they
are planted as a dividing property line
and in a belief that they are an adorn-
ment to the grounds.

A well-kept hedge, even if in a land-
scape gardeners' view it is out of place,
cannot seriously offend the eye, but a
naked, scrawny, badly-kept hedge is an
abomination. If a dense hedge is de-
sired, something that will repel sight and
neighbors and winter's cold blast, then
an evergreen hedge is the thing.

There are three evergreens (properly
conifers') inexpensive and very suitable
for this purpose, viz., the familiar Nor-
way spruce, the American arbor-vitae
(Thuya occidentalis) and the hemlock
spruce (Abies Canadensis). The latter,
although seldom seen as a hedge, is far
the best in every respect. It is more
dense, more graceful, less formal and
better all around. If you are sure these
evergreens have been transplanted in the
nursery within two years, then you can
buy trees three feet high, but if
you are not sure of that, then start with
small trees not over eighteen inches
high.

If your hedge is merely to define your
property line and incidentally to be an
ornament to your grounds, the deciduous
hedge is to be preferred. They are more
easily and successfully made to grow and
flourish. Many of our hardy deciduous
shrubs can be used for the purpose. Two
that are seldom used, but can be, are the
cydonia (the Japan quince) and Hydran-
gea paniculate. The latter could not be
pruned to any formal outline in summer,
but is glorious when in flower and can be,
and should be, pruned back hard in
spring.

The cydonia makes a beautiful hedge
if pruned after flowering in the month of

lucid inquiry or a more interesting sub-
ject, one to which we willingly take off
our hat and yet expand our chest and
say with pleasure, * ' Ah, my dear fellow,
I have an opinion."

Hedges are planted for different pur-
poses. Sometimes to exclude the sight
or trespassing of a neighbor, or his chil-
dren, or his dogs. Sometimes you see

June. It adapts itself to the closest shear-
ing, is brilliant with its scarlet flowers
in early spring and its thorny growth
makes it impenetrable even to a tom-cat
visiting a fnend. It is, however, of slow
growth.

The privet is the favorite hedge shrub
of the north, and just let me say here
that the beautiful California privet so

much planted of late received a death
blow last winter. In New York, Boston
and all latitudes north of those cities, it
was killed outright or cut to the ground.
The only privet for you to plant in Min-
nesota is Ligustrum vulgare, commonly
known as the English privet, hardy in
Labrador. It makes a dense hedge and
is easily managed.

And now we come to the last and, per-
haps, taking the whole season through
the prettiest, most useful and hardiest of
all our hedge shrubs, Berberis Thun-
bergii. It is beautiful anywhere and at all
seasons and if you don't want a hedge
over three or four feet high and one that
is not too formal and wants little clip-
ping or attention, by all means plant Ber-
beris Thunbergii.

About care, broadly I will say that all
hedges are planted thickly and to keep
in vigorous health some animal manure
should be forked into the ground on each
side of the hedge every two years. The
prevailing mistake, particularly with the
privet, is to expect a hedge three feet
high the year it is planted. It can 't be
done. I would call an ideal evergreen
hedge, after years of growth, one that
was five or six feet high, four feet wide
at the base, two feet wide at the top and
the top rouriding. Whatever hedge it is,
let it be tapering to the top, so that all
parts of it get the sun, the dews and the
rain.

Briefly, the care of these different trees
and shrubs is: Evergreens, plant at the
end of May or just when the young
growth is starting. Mid-summer or after
the spring growth is made is the time to
prune evergreens. Use knife, not shears,
and only cut back leading growths. From
two to three feet apart is the distance to
plant, according to size of tree.

The privet, no matter how strong you
obtain them, should be cut down at plant-
ing to within six inches of the ground and
if you gain one foot in height each suc-
ceeding year you are allowing plenty.
Prune with the shears early in the spring
and, if you desire great trimness, again
in early August.

The berberis does not want much
pruning at any time, either at planting
or afterwards. It has a compact, neat
growth and can only be improved each
spring by a few of the strongest growths
being shortened back. The cydonia is
also compact and bushy but will stand
the shears, which should only be used just
after it has flowered in the spring.

All the evergreens and shrubs I have
mentioned are hardy in Minnesota.
Plant privet, berberis or cydonia nine
or ten inches apart and don't start with
too large shrubs. Small plants will make
the better hedge. The privet, cydonia
and berberis are so hardy they can be
transplanted in October or early Novem-
ber, yet there is not much gained by fall
planting and you run some risk. As
soon as the ground can be worked in the
spring is the best time for deciduous
shrute. Wm. Scott.

HYDRANGEAS AND GERANIUMS.

Enclosed you will find sample of leaves
of hydrangea that I planted in a large
bed on a lawn. I do not understand what
makes the leaves turn brown on the edge.
I wish you would tell me the cause of this
and how to remedy it. I also enclose ge-
ranium leaves that blight and turn
brown. Please give me your idea as to
the cause of this. W. T. L.

The leaves sent are those of H. pani-
culata grandiflora. We never saw leaves of

this fine shrub troubled witl^ any blight.
Although W. T. L. does not say so, we
suppose the bed was planted this spring
and is not yet very well supplied with
working roots, and aa the hot weather
came some exhaustion would take place
and the oldest leaves would naturally be
the first to succumb. We don 't think there
is anything else the matter. Just let me
say to W. T. L. that in its native sur-
roundings this shrub or dwarf tiee may
make a very picturesque bush without the
interference of man and his knife. Yet
as a cultivated shrub if you want fine
flowers and a fine bush the growth of this
summer should next spring be cut back
three or four eyes.

The zonal geranium leaves sent were
too much dried up to say much about
them. We think for the past thirty years
we have occasionally seen geraniums at-
tacked in the same way. What to call
it I am unable to say. If it was a fun-
goid disease it would, I suppose, show
on the surface of the leaf, which it does
not. A decay of the tissue takes place
and, therefore, is it not a bacterial dis-
ease? I am asking the question because
I am not certain. We have seen the
same trouble on some varieties of zonals
in the spring when the soil was exhausted
and the roots began to perish and this
year we noticed it on a lot of Mrs. Fian-
cis Perkins (the fine pink), for the first
six weeks after being planted out. They
were starved in the pots before being
planted out and took some time to get
growing.

I have never heard of any attempted
cure for this decay of the foliage, ex-
cept the best of all cures, viz., proper
conditions. Select the healthiest cuttings
and give plenty of light and air during
winter and a night temperature of 40 to
45 degrees is plenty high enough dur-
ing the dark days and very little water is
needed. Over-watering these succulent
plants in a low temperature and dark
weather is often the cause of decay and
rot imong geraniums. If I wanted to
propagate from these plants this fall I
would cut them hard back and look for a
clean, healthy, new growth.

THE FLORISTS' REFRIGERATOR.

In the prosperous town of Kendallville,
Ind., there is a big refrigerator factory,
with branches in many cities, which has
so high an appreciation of the desirabil-
ity of florists ' patronage that they make
a consistent effort to present their wares
to the attention of our trade. The re-
sult is that these ice boxes are found in
flower stores from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. The display illustrated in this
issue, that of the McCray Kefrigerator
Co., was the only exhibit of florists' re-
frigerators at the S. A. F. convention at
St. Louis.

They showed a No. 610 with glass
front and ends, arranged with center
icing system. They also showed a No.
675, four doors, with glass front and
wood ends, with side icing system. On
these refrigerators the ice chamber door
is fitted with a French bevel plate mir-
ror and the entire interior is enameled
in white, except the floor, which is cov-
ered with galvanized iron. They also ex-
hibited a glass lined refrigerator and a
family ice box.

These display boxes were stock sizes
such as are on hand at all times and not
built specially for show. The company,
however, does a large business in build-
ing florists' refrigerators to order to suit
the space or style of decorations or orna-
mentations.

Vegetable Forcing.

Lawrence Becker, Rogers Park, Chi-
cago, after growing carnations for a
number of years, put his place in lettuce
last season and prospered so well that
he is now adding 20,000 feet of glass
to his place.

CUCUMBERS.

If not already started, seeds of cucum-
bers for the first indoor crop should be
planted without delay. The best place
for starting the seeds will be in the
greenhouse, though we have been quite
successful in starting them in cold
frames. It is easier to give them the
necessary attention in the greenhouse,
also easier to regulate the heat and at-

mospheric moisture. Bottom heat is not
absolutely necessary to insure a good
start, but it is all the better to have heat
at command in case of a damp, cold
spell, when without it germination would
be slow and quite a few of the seeds
might rot.

The seeds may be planted singly or, to
make more certain, plant two in each pot
and remove one after they are well up.
A light, free compost should be used
for filling the pots. One composed of
equal parts of loam, leaf-mold and fine
sand should answer the purpose well. Use
2% -inch pots, fill loosely level and insert
the seed with the thin or wedge-shaped
end down, deep enough so that the upper
end will just be covered. Then press
the soil moderately firm around the seed.

Pack the pots in flats as close as they
will stand and set the flats in the house.
Thus they are much easier to move
around and don't take up much more
space. If the soil is moderately moist
it will hardly be necessary to apply water
right away, and, unless fire heat is used,
the moisture in the soil ought to be suf-
ficient until the seeds are started, provid-
ing the house is kept as close as possible,
and the atmosphere kept moderately
charged with moisture.

W. S. Croydon.

CAULIFLOWER.

The time of sowing these will depend
upon when the plants are required to be
large enough for planting in the benches.
It is quite a usual custom to follow
chrysanthemums with this crop and if
this is the intention there is no imme-
diate hurry about sowing, as under fa-
vorable conditions the plants ought to be
large enough to plant in the bench in
from six to seven weeks from the time
the seed is sown. There is no advantage
in having the plants large. One experi-
ence is that small plants invariably suc-
ceed better than large ones, as they suf-
fer less check and take hold of the soil
much quicker. We make a sowing about
this time for frame work and from this
sowing we seldom fail to reap a very sat-
isfactory crop during the month of De-
cember.

The seeds may be either sown in flats
or in a frame. In either case the plants
should be pricked over once before the

absolutely necessary to insure a good
start, but it is all the better to have heat
at command in case of a damp, cold
spell, when without it germination would
be slow and quite a few of the seeds
might rot.

The seeds may be planted singly or, to
make more certain, plant two in each pot
and remove one after they are well up.
A light, free compost should be used
for filling the pots. One composed of
equal parts of loam, leaf-mold and fine
sand should answer the purpose well. Use
2'/^-inch pots, fill loosely level and insert
the seed with the thin or wedge-shaped
end down, deep enough so that the upper
end will just be covered. Then press
the soil moderately firm around the seed.

Pack the pots in flats as close as they
will stand and set the flats in the house.
Thus they are much easier to move
around and don 't take up much more
space. If the soil is moderately moist
it will hardly be necessary to apply water
right away, and, unless fire heat is used,
the moisture in the soil ought to be suf-
ficient until the seeds are started, provid-
ing the house is kept as close as possible,
and the atmosphere kept moderately
charged with moisture.

CAULIFLOWER.

The time of sowing tiiese will depend
upon when the plants are required to be
large enough for planting in the benches.
It is quite a usual custom to follow
chrysanthemums with this crop and if
this is the intention there is no imme-
diate hurry about sowing, as under fa-
vorable conditions the plants ought to be
large enough to plant in the bench in
from six to seven weeks from the time
the seed is sown. There is no advantage
in having the plants large. One experi-
ence is that small plants invariably suc-
ceed better than large ones, as they suf-
fer less check and take hold of the soil
much quicker. We make a sowing about
this time for frame work and from this
sowing we seldom fail to reap a very sat-
isfactory crop during the month of De-
cember.

The seeds may be either sown in flats
or in a frame. In either case the plants
should be pricked over once before the

final planting to make them firm and
stocky. Previous to planting the soil in
the frames should be well forked over
and a liberal dressing of farmyard ma-
nure applied. I find this the most sat-
isfactory manure for this crop; they
don't seem to take kindly to commercial
fertilizers, though if extra fine heads are
desired a little nitrate of soda watered
into the soil after the heads have begun
to form will be of considerable assist-
ance to their development. The best va-
riety to use for this and also for green-
house work is Snowball, but, as there are
several strains of this on the market, it
is well to procure the seed from a thor-
oughly reliable source to make sure of
getting the genuine dwarf variety.

BOSTON.

The Market.

Flowers have sold exceptionally well
the past week and there is a distinct im-
provement in the market as compared
with a year ago. The warm weather has
caused a heavier output of roses, but
prices, except for the pooier grades, have
maintained previous quotations. Beauties
are coming with nice stems and there are
some excellent Kaiserin and Carnot.
Carnations of the new indoor crop, as
well as from field, are now coming in
more freely. Good flowers readily biing
$2 and some whites went as high as $3.
Scott, Saxon (scarlet), The Queen and
Fair Maid are very good from the open.
Quite a number of the old Mrs. Fisher
are also seen.

A good many dahlias* are now coming
in. The cactus varieties take the best,
some selling at $1.50 to $2 per 100.
Some of the white pompons are also in
demand for design work. Asters are of
a little better quality, but inferior to
other seasons. Some fine Scrapie's bring
$1.50 per 100, other sorts 50 cents to $1.
Sweet peas at 15 cents per 100 and fever-
few 15 cents per bunch are still fairly
abundant. The first named seem to have
taken on a new lease of life. Lilium
speciosum, gladioli, tuberoses, margue-
rites and stocks aie among other flowers
in the market. So far the new season
may be classed as quite satisfactory.
Chrysanthemums wdll soon appear, a few
blooms being already open in some estab-
lishments.

Various Notes.

David Weir is in St. Louis, taking In
the beauties of the "World's Fair.

G«o. E. Buxton has completed the
changes in his heating plant and other
improvements and has all his carnations
housed and looking first-class.

W. L. Lewis has evidently secured a
capable manager in Mr. Gardner. Car-
nations never looked better and his gen-
eral stock is in fine shape.

Messrs. Wm. Nicholson, M. A. Patten
and Peter Fisher oflfer special carnation
prizes at the ^ coming chrysanthemum
show in Boston.

E. A. Riggs, gardener to E. A. Clark,
of Jamaica Plains, has a fine lot of
single-stemmed chrysanthemums, includ-
ing all the best new sorts. He was a
successful exhibitor in Boston last year.

J. Montgomery Sears, of Southboro,
the largest individual owner of real
estate in Boston, has set aside fifty acres
of his farm to be made into a pleasure
park, with the idea of interesting other
wealthy property owners in similar en-
terprises. His plan includes landscap^
gardening, flower gardens and a zoo.

The brown tail moth caterpillarb
hatched from eggs laid in July are >york-
ing destruction on tender foliage just
now in Boston and vicinity. Little can
be done in the way of remedial measures
now, but these same caterpillars, if not
destroyed with their nests during the
winter, will issue forth next May and
June and cause widespread destruction.

The promoters of the new co-operative
market feel much encouraged with the re-
sults of their sale of stalls on August
31. There was a large attendance at the
auction and 110 out of 170 stalls were
disposed of at an average of $30. First
choice went to Charles Cummings, of
Woburn, at $55, several others going at
the same price. Sixty stalls were sold
at prices ranging from $40 down to $15.
The latter price was given for any
choice left. So far as location is con-
cerned the new enterprise has a distinct
advantage over the old market and will
undoubtedly catch considerable trade
from the central location. At holiday
times it will, however, be difficult to
move goods in quantity in a hurry.
There are quite a number of applicants
for the post of manager of the new mar-
ket^ but no selection has yet been made.

Colored varieties of field-grown carna-
tions are in good demand. J. H. Manley
is hardly procurable.

The auction sale of stalls at the Bos-
ton Co-operative Flower Market on Co-
lumbus avenue took place on September
3. The results were considered quite
satisfactory. Quite a number of grow-
ers purchased stalls in both markets.

"We are experiencing a very dry spell
at present and vegetation is suffering
more than at any time this season. Water
supplies are running low in many places
and a soaking rain is much needed.

NEV YORK.

The Market.

This is the calm preceding the storm
of business which it is confidently hoped
October will usher in. A comparison with
the record of other years at this date
shows no marked change. It is the old
story of dullness repeated yearly, to
which the wholesalers have become ac-
customed, and which they have learned
to endure with placidity.

There is little change for the better
this week. The supply is abundant in all
lines and in asters, gladioli and dahlias
the aggregate is an enigma unsolvable.
The street merchants will be welcomed
at their old stands to relieve the conges-
tion. The middle of the month will see
the closing of many of the adjacent sum-
mer resorts and the return of these no-
madic florists. There are plenty of me-
dium and short roses on which it would
be a shame to quote clearing prices.
Orchids are always in demand and the
American market for them is established
in New York and is likely to be so con-
sidered for a generation. The supply is
always to be depended on, the quality
and variety unsurpassed and a steady
call is growing in extent and dependence
that places them beyond the risk of spec-
ulation.

Ketail windows everywhere are bril-
liant with gfadioli and hydrangfeis. Never
were the latter so extensively used and
so distinctive, the flower heads being
enormous and their utility never so much
in evidence.

Variotis Notes.
Alex. J. Guttman, the wholesale florist.

has bought C. H. Hagert's greenhouse
establishment at Summit, N. J., with ten
acres of land and has here the nucleus
of an extenrave business. Everything is
in ship-shape condition for immediate
utility and in two weeks roses will be
shipped to the New York headquarters.
His brother wholesalers congratulate
him on his enterprise and wish him suc-
cess.

Charles Millang has purchased a home
near his mother's residence, with ample
room for his horses, dog kennels and
other side enterprises and recreations
that make life worth living.

George Saltford is back from his ex-
tended outing and pastoral visitations at
and around Khinebeck, the fruit of
, which will doubtless be seen at no dis-
tant date.

W. H. Gunther is now giving his grow-
ers his annual fraternal after a month
at Seagirt with his family, in the best
of health and ready for the best season
in his career, of which this is his sev-
enteenth year.

Across the way from this enterprising
quartette, George Cotsonas & Co., the
green goods men, will shortly open their
increasing business center so that Twenty-
ninth street makes no uncertain sound
as a component part of the great whole-
sale cut flower section of the city.

Jas. A. Hammond has joined the army
of suburbanites and now makes Sum-
mit, N. J., his home. His contiguity
to the army of New Jersey rose growers
will add to his shipping supply the com-
ing season.

Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Langjahr were
the rear guard of the conventionists,
wisely devoting over a week to the Fair
and returning unsatisfied, as did all who
enjoyed the glories and realized that a
month would hardly suffice to "touch the
hem of its garment. ' '

Wm. A. Gardeen, of Thorley's, has
gone to Fair Haven for his month's va-
cation.

Arthur Hunt, with Langjahr, is re-
joicing in the addition of a prospective
wholesaler to his family.

John Eeickert, of Union Hill, who has
been very ill with pleurisy and typhoid
fever, is slightly better and his recovery
is hoped for. A loss in weight from 225
pounds to 140 indicates the severe strain
he has endured.

Both president and vice-president of
the New York Florists' Club are indudg-
ing in hay fever. It is, therefore, ap-
propriate that at the first meeting of the
club for the fall season next Monday
evening, the exhibition should include
hardy and half-hardy herbaceous flow-
ers and plants. Secretary Young will
receive and care for anything that may
be sent for the purpose and shippers
are requested to forward promptly to
his address, 51 West Twenty-eighth
street. The meeting should be one of
rare interest. Every member of the club
should be present.

J. K. Allen is home again, satisfied
that this is the only country. His com-
parisons are glowing in favor of Ameri-
ca and he has seen enough of foreign
lands to declare he would "rather have
one year of New York than all eternity
in Europe."

Kasting's exhibit of Croweanum in
St. Louis was far-reaching in its in-
fluence. The demand in New York shows
a steady increase and John I. Eaynor,
who controls its sale here, finds a con-
stantly growing appreciation of its
beauty and value.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Since the beginning of September trade
has shown some activity. The approach
of fall has put a smile on the face of
the retailer, with the confidence that
business is about to start in soon for
good. The growers are all busy housing
their carnations and putting their green-
houses in order for the fall trade. The
growers around Kirkwood and Clayton
report carnation plants in excellent
shape. Building, too, is being pushed
as much as possible so as to be ready for
firing when the first frost comes.

The receipts of flowers at the whole-
sale houses are growing larger. Roses
are coming with longer stems and buds
much firmer. Bride, Meteor, Bridesmaid,
Kaiserin, Liberty and Perle are most
plentiful. The first of these are in good
demand at $4 and $5 per 100. Shorter-
stemmed ones do not bring over $2
per 100 and $10 in thousand lots. Beau-
ties are looking better and are selling
well. Fancy long are scarce at $3 to $4
per dozen.

Good carnations are still short in sup-
ply, with a big demand, especially for
white. The best bring $2 per 100. Short
outdoor stock does not biing over 75 cents
per 100. Asters are again very plenti-
ful, but only the large white and purple
are selling well, at $2 per 100. Small
truck, which is abundant, sells very
cheap, 50 cents to $1 per 100. Tuberose
stalks are coming in great quantities,
selling as low as $1.50 per 100. There
is veiy little sale for gladioli and the
market is overstocked with them. Other
outdoor stock is also overplentiful and
so are all kinds of greens.

Various Notes.

Xurserymen report plenty of orders
for fall delivery in fruit and shade, trees.
Planting will begin late next month.

F. R. Pierson, of Tarrytown, was a
visitor last week. Robt. Craig, of Phila-
delphia, and W. R. Smith, of Washing-
ton, are still with us. Both are judges
at the World's Fair in the floricultural
department.

Park Commissioner Aull, Henry C.
Ostertag and Sheriff Dickmann had a
big time on the Pike one night last
week. "Zink" and the others wound
up in the Irish Village.

Fred H. Meinhardt is hard at work
putting in a new Lord & Burnham boiler
at his place in North St. Louis, also
making other necessary repairs for the
winter.

Max Rotter, on North Broadway, re-
ports a splendid trade all summer, mostly
funeral work but plenty of it.

Dr. A. S. Halstedt, president of the
St. Clair Floral Co., at Belleville, called
this week. The doctor reports that his

new crimson seedling geranium is a sight
worth seeing. He has named it St. Clair.

Fred Ostertag is back in the business
again. He is now with his sister Mary,
on Grand avenue.

John M. Hudson reports that ho will
re-enter the business this fall if a good
opportunity presents. John says he felt
like home during the convention, meet-
ing so many of his old Philadelphia
friends.

George Waldbart, Mrs. M. M. Ayres,
Ellison Floral Co., and Mary Ostertag,
who are located at Grand and ^live, re-
port a good summer trade with World's
Fair work.

Arthur Cowee, of Berlin, N. Y., is
showing thousands of cut gladiolus spikes
from his farm near Belleville, at the
World's Fair, in the Horticulture build-
ing. This display attracts a big crowd
of visitors every day. The display is in
charge of Miss Hanson, who is always
ready to answer all questions regarding
gladioli. Mr. Cowee deserves great credit
for such a grand display. Mrs. Hadkin-
son has charge of the grand fruit dis-
play of Nebraska. Her assistant, Mr.
XJssic, of New York, is doing great work
in this department.

Phil Hauswirth, of Chicago, is ex-
pected to spend a day with us this week
on his way to St. Joseph to attend the
annual Red Men's pow-wow. Phil is al-
ways a welcome visitor here.

The Benthey-Coatsworth Co., of Chi-
cago, is sending to this market a fine
lot of their large white asters, which
are handled by Frank Ellis.

It is said that a grand chrysanthemum
and floral exhibition will be held at the
World's Fair, in the Horticulture build-
ing, during the month of November, the
show to be under the auspices of our na-
tional society.

T. W. Guy, one of our old-time florists,
was in town last week, visiting his son,
E. W. Guy, in Belleville, and taking in
the sights at the World's Fair.

The bed of the new canna. West Vir-
ginia, by Gus Obermeyer, of Parkers-
burg, W. Va., at the World's Fair, is in
fine shape and attracts a great deal of
attention from visiting florists.

A. G. Greiner felt very proud when he
was told that he had received a bronze
medal for his fine display of cacti, which
attracted so much attention at the con-
vention. Mr. Greiner devotes his whole
time to growing cacti. He is ex-presi-
dent of the St. Louis Cactus Society,
which holds monthly meetings.

George Ostertag, who is now head man
at Forest park, has the park looking in
extra fine shape. George is the right
man in the right place.

Wm. Schray & Sons' canna beds at
the World's Fair are a fine sight. The
judges have given them a medal for their
display.

The second opening of Shaw's Garden
to the public occurred Sunday. The at-
tendance broke all previous records;
38,000 visitors passed through the gates.
Ropes were stretched along the walks.
The garden was in splendid shape, as
many of our S. A. F. members know,
for they visited the place a few weeks
ago.

Tower Grove park which is close by,
also had an overflow of visitors. Mr.
Gurney and Phil Giebel were on hand
to explain the beauties of this great
park, where the rose gardens and the lily
ponds are great attractions for the thoii-
sands of visitors in the city seeing the
World 's Fair.

For the vehicle parade at the World's
Fair Fred C. Weber entered his hand-

some outfit decorated with some 1,500
gladiolus spikes. The turnout was fa-
vorably commented upon by the big crowd
in the stands.

Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Canfield, of Spring-
field, 111., are attending the World's Fair
this week and C. J. Ohmer, of Cincinnati,
is here, spending most of his time on the
Pike.

TORONTO.

The Exposition.

The national industrial exposition held
in Toronto from August 29 to Septem-
ber 10 is of great interest to all com-
mercial lines in Canada, but on Septem-
ber 5 it was of special interest to the
florists of Toronto and the surrounding
country, it being the day that cut flow-
ers and floral designs were exhibited.
The interest displayed was very marked
and competition keen, necessitating some
very close judging. Wm. Scott, of Buf-
falo, officiated in the capacity of judge
to the general satisfaction of all. The
prizes awarded were as follows:

Hand or bridal bouquet, J. H. Dunlop,
first; J. S. Simmons, second.

Floral design for the table, not ex-
ceeding two feet in diameter, J. H. Dun-
lop, first; Manton Bros., second; J. S.
Simmons, third.

Funeral design, flat, fourteen inches in
diameter or under, J. S. Simmons, first;
J. H. Dunlop, second; Manton Bros.,
third.

Funeral design other than flat, gates
ajar frame not exceeding 30x30, J. H.
Dunlop, first; J. S. Simmons, second;
Manton Bros., third; Jay & Son, fourth.

Cut flowers, best basket, J. S. Sim-
mons, first; J. H. Dunlop, second; Jay
& Son, third.

Carnations, fifty blooms in one vase,
any foliage, J. S. Simmons, first; To-
ronto Floral Co., second.

Roses, collection named, three of each,
J. H. Dunlop, first; J. S. Simmons, sec-
ond; Toronto Floral Co., third.

Roses, six of one variety, named, J. H.
Dunlop, first; J. S. Simmons, second; To-
ronto Floral Co., third.

Roses, twenty any variety in one vase,
arranged, J. H. Dunlop, first; J. S. Sim-
mons, second; Toronto Floral Co., third.

Carnations, twenty blooms one variety,
Toronto Floral Co., first.

In hardy annuals and perennials the
exhibit was very large, many exhibitors
coming a distance with their stuff. In
the arrangement of plants as well as in
the specimens Manton Bros, carried off
many of the honors. Colonel Pellett, Ex-
hibition park, Allan Gardens, Government
House and Central Prison, put up some
fine exhibits and prizes were fairly and
evenly divided.

We noted among the visitors in town
from distant points E. I. Mepsted and
Chas. Wright, Ottawa; W. A. Adams,
of S. A. Anderson, Buffalo, and Miss
Scrim, Ottawa. D. J.

PIDLADELPHIA.

The Market

The quantity of fine flowers coming
into town is increasing each week. This,
with the large receipts of outdoor flow-
eis, is more than the market can stand,
the demand being as yet but slightly bet-
ter than in August. These conditions
cause greater waste than during the
Bummer. There is some encouragement
in comparison with last year's prices,
■which show a slight improvement on all
flowers, except some of those grown out
of doors.

Qub Meeting.

At the meeting of the Florists' Club
of Philadelphia on Tuesday evening the
present officers were renominated for an-
other year. The president's reception will
be held at the October meeting. Eobert
Craig read a paper on horticulture at
the World's Fair, where he has been
for some time officiating as a member
of the jury of awards. He especially
praised the Dreer exhibits and the beauty
of their aquatics. Several others gave

good descriptions of what they saw at
t. Louis.

A Dahlia Farm.

It is curious to note the effect of a
few words. Samuel S. Pennock re-
marked that he expected more dahlias
and better dahlias than ever this season
from L#. K. Peacock, of Atco. So a
party met at Market street wharf a lit-
tle before 1 o'clock last Saturday after-
noon, bound for the home of the dahlia.
There were Joseph Fling, an amateur
dahlia enthusiast; George Kedlea, who
knows every flower, wild or tame of this
or any other clime; Clarence Upton, who
believes there is no flower to compare
with the queen of flowers; C. F. Wurtz-
ner, a true flower lover who should be a
grower, and Phil, five in all.

After a good half hour "wasted" on
the way down in dispatching certain rear
cars to Gibbsboro and "Jericho," the
train finally pulled up at Atco, where
the dahlia king himself was in waiting
to drive his guests out to his place. The
grown men rode, while the boys preferred
to walk. The two parties soon met at
the farm.

It was as pretty a sight as one could
wish to see. Eow after row of dahlias,
Stretching away like a vast army in the
field, the little patches of color that re-
lieved the green giving the scene just
the touch needed to enhance its beauty.
The pompons were in full flower. Shapely
little plants, the flowers on the same plant
often varying markedly in shade, some-
times even in color. The large double
sorts were just coming in bloom, but
most of the best fancy, show and deco-
rative varieties were either only in bud,
with here and there a bloom, a promise
of what would come later, or cut back
to hold them back until the season opens,
about the middle of this month.

Clifford W. Bruton, a flne yellow,
looked well, being tall enough to insure
good stems and well budded. Penelope,
a soft pink and white, was very pleas-
ing. Perle d'Or, creamy white, a grand
flower resembling a fine chrysanthemum,
is so highly prized that it is disbudded
and given special care. It has good
stems.

The cactus varieties were much ad-
mired, although not yet at their best.
The singles held the visitors longest en-
thralled. There was Butterfly, a perfect
little yellow, borne in rich profusion on

plants of the glossiest green; Wurtzner's
Joke, named on the spot from its oddi-
ties of color, pretty and most surprising;
the famous Twentieth Century, a great
flower of indescribable color; Pink Cen-
tury, an enormous bloom that should
light up splendidly at night; Scarlet
Century, with color that would rival the
scarlet Due van Thol tulips, and so on
ad inflnitum through every variety of
form, color and shade that one can imag-
ine, with combinations galore.

"Have you a knife?" Mr. Peacock
asked, and on its being offered him,
"Now cut* what you like." And they
did. It makes one blush to think of it.
"No one ever turned me loose in his
larder before," Mr. Wurtzner remarked.
It was certainly appreciated and when,
just before train time, the well trained
residents of the farm arose in numbers
and gave their visitors little admonitory
pricks that evening was approaching, a
very happy party assembled to express
their pleasure and say good-bye.

The farm consists of 102 acres. "I
should have called it 100," Mr. Wurtz-
ner remarked, "but he says he has the
other two." There are about one and
a half million bulbs planted out. Twenty
thousand blooms is not an unusual morn-
ing 's cut during the season.

The necessity for irrigation is so
strongly felt that an order has just
been placed for a great quantity of pipe
to keep the stock moist during a drouth.
The help number fifty-five during the
busy season. Most of them are kept on
all the year around.

Various Notes.

Wm. Swayne, of Kennet Square, Pa.,
has added one greenhouse 26x44 feet.

B. Eschner, of the M. Rice Co., has
returned from a seven-weeks' business
trip. He covered the entire territory
between the Great Lakes and the Gulf
for the first time and reports an in-
creased demand. He was so busy at St.
Louis that he was unable to get within
three miles of the Fair, which does not
seem strange when the responsibility of
the firm's large exhibit at the convention
is considered.

Walter P. Stokes is sending fine valley
to Edward Beid.

George Burton is shipping fine Golden
Gate to the Leo Niessen Co.

The Flower Market has the new quar-
ters most attractively fitted up, the work
being entirely done by the employes. In
front is a fine exhibit of foliage plarrts
from H. A. Dreer, at Kiverton. All the
stalls are now taken. Business seems
active here.

Edward Towill, of Roslyn, Pa., is send-
ing fine Liberties to S. S. Pennock.

Eugene Bernheimer is receiving new
Beauties and Edgelys from the Floral
Exchange, also field-grown blooms of
Joost, Crocker and Fisher. He is now
among the growers.

D. T. Conner, of Lord & Burnham Co.,
has his model greenhouse and boiler set
up at the new Flower Market headquar-
ters.

Jacob Becker is sending nice blooms
of his Ideal rose to the Leo Niessen Co.
This firm is receiving a fine lot of dahlias.

C. F. Edgar is away on a business
trip.

Edward Reid left for Dakota this
week. A. M. Campbell is in charge of
the business. A new ice box over the
rose cellar and new shelves give much
needed extra space.

Fred J, Michell reT>ort8 a shortage in
Roman hvacinths and Paper White nar-
cissi, with prices advancing. His firm

has sent out more of these bulbs than in
previous years.

The Market

Business is still in the summer rut, but
now and then it hustles along at a more
lively pace. This is due usually to
funeral orders. There is plenty of stock
of all seasonable kinds. Roses, especially
Beauties, are in large supply. Kaiserin
is very good and more of the better
grades could be disposed of to advan-
tage. Bride and Maid are still short-
stemmed, but the quality is very fair.
Meteor and Liberty are in fair supply,
but the quality of the stock is not very
good.

Carnations are still scarce, but it will
not be long till there will be enough
for all needs. , Asters are in large sup-
ply and the quality of most of them is
good. Not many go to waste. Gladioli
are not so plentiful and the price is be-
ing held stiff. Dahlias sell fairly well,
some varieties bringing a very good
price. There is plenty of all kinds of
green goods.

Various Notes.

R. Witterstaetter has completed plant-
ing and now is contemplating a visit
to the World's Fair.

It is rumored that W. K. Partridge is
to open a first-class store on Fourth
street, between Walnut and Main, for
retailing the flowers grown at his plant
at Lockland. C. J. Ohmer.

BALTIMORE.

The Market

Business continues quiet, with too
much stock of nearly everything. Out-
door white carnations and Maman Cochet
roses are wasting in large quantities.
Good asters sell fairly well and are now
in better supply. Inferior grades are
hard to dispose of. Tuberoses are com-
ing in more freely, but are not wanted
by the stores; they therefore find their
way to the street men at $1 per 100.
The street men are also beginning to
move the surplus of roses, but at ex-
tremely low prices. Dahlias are of good
quality, but they, too, do not move very
well as yet. The theater season opens
in full this week, which may help busi-
ness some. The stores will now begin to
keep open later. Business must surely
begin to pick up in the next few weeks.
The Florists' Exchange reports that sales
have been better than last summer by
twenty per cent. The great waste seems
to be overproduction in summer stock.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market

The quantity of fine flowers coming
into town is increasing each week. This,
with the large receipts of outdoor flow-
eis, is more than the market can stand,
the demand being as yet but slightly bet-
ter than in August. These conditions
cause greater waste than during the
summer. There is some encouragement
in comparison with last year 's prices,
which show a slight improvement on all
flowers, except some of those grown out
of doors.

Club Meeting.

At the meeting of the Florists ' Club
of Philadelphia on Tuesday evening the
present officers were renominated for an-
other year. The president's reception will
be held at the October meeting. Robert
Craig read a paper on horticultuie at
the World 's Fair, where he has been
for some time officiating as a member
of the jury of awards. He especially
praised the Dreer exhibits and the beauty
of their aquatics. Several others gave
good desciiptions of what they saw at
St. Louis.

A Dahlia Farm.

It is curious to note the effect of a
few words. Samuel S. Pennock le-
marked that he expected more dahlias
and better dahlias than ever this season
from L. K. Peacock, of Atco. So a
party met at IMarket street wharf a lit-
tle before 1 o'clock last Saturday after-
noon, bound for the home of the dahlia.
There were Joseph Fling, an amateur
dahlia enthusiast; George Eedles, who
knows every flower, wild or tame of this
or any other clime; Clarence Upton, who
believes there is no flower to compare
with the queen of flowers ; C. F. Wurtz-
ner, a true flower lover who should be a
grower, and Phil, five in all.

After a good half hour "wasted" on
the way down in dispatching certain rear
cars to Gibbsboro and "Jericho," the
train finally pulled up at Atco, where
the dahlia king himself was in waiting
to drive his guests out to his place. The
grown men lode, while the boys preferred
to walk. The two parties soon met at
the farm.

It was as pretty a sight as one could
wish to see. Row after row of dahlias,
stretching away like a vast army in the
field, the little patches of color that re-
lieved the green giving the scene just
the touch needed to enhance its beauty.
The pompons weie in full flower. Shapely
little plants, the flowers on the same plant
often varying markedly in shade, some-
times even in color. The large double
sorts were just coming in bloom, but
most of the best fancy, show and deco-
rative varieties were either only in bud,
with here and there a bloom, a promise
of what would come later, or cut back
to hold them back until the season opens,
about the middle of this month.

Clifford W. Bruton, a fine yellow,
looked well, being tall enough to insure
good stems and well budded. Penelope,
a soft pink and white, was very pleas-
ing. Perle d'Or, creamy white, a grand
flower resembling a fine chrysanthemum,
is so highly prized that it is disbudded
and given special care. It has good
stems.

The cactus varieties were much ad-
mired, although not yet at their best.
The singles held the vi.'^itors longest en-
thralled. There was Butterfly, a perfect
little yellnw, borne in lich profusion on

plants of the glossiest green; Wurtzner'a
Joke, named on the spot from its oddi-
ties of color, pretty and most surprising;
the famous Twentieth Century, a great
flower of indescribable color; Pink Cen-
tury, an enormous bloom that should
light up splendidly at night; Scailet
Century, with color that would rival the
scarlet Due van Thol tulips, and so on
ad infinitum through every variety of
form, color and shade that one can imag-
ine, with combinations galore.

"Have you a knife?" Mr. Peacock
asked, and on its being offered him,
"Now cut 'what you like." And they
did. It makes one blush to think of it.
' ' No one ever turned me loose in his
larder befoie, " Mr. Wurtzner remarked.
It was certainly appreciated and when,
just before train time, the well trained
residents of the farm arose in numbers
and gave their visitors little admonitory
pricks that evening was approaching, a
veiy happy party assembled to express
their pleasure and say good-bye.

The farm consists of 102 acres. "I
should have called it 100," Mr. Wurtz-
ner remarked, ' ' but he says he has the
other two. ' ' There are about one and
a half million bulbs planted out. Twenty
thousand blooms is not an unusual morn-
ing 's cut during the season.

The necessity for irrigation is so
.strongly felt that an order has just
been placed for a great quantity of pipe
to keep the stock moist during a drouth.
The help number fifty-five during the
busy season. MJost of them are kept on
all the year around.

Various Notes.

Wm. Swayne, of Kennet Square, Pa.,
has added one greenhouse 26x44 feet.

B. Eschner, of the M. Rice Co., has
returned fiom a seven-weeks' business
trip. He covered the entire territory
l>etween the Great Lakes and the Gulf
for the first time and reports an in-
creased demand. He was so busy at St.
Louis that he was unable to get within
three miles of the Fair, which does not
seem strange when the lesponsibility of
the firm's large exhibit at the convention
is considered.

Walter P. Stokes is sending fine valley
to Edward Reid.

George Burton is shipping fine Golden
Gate to the Leo Niessen Co.

The Flower Market has the new quar-
ters most attractively fitted up, the work
being entirely done by the employes. In
front is a fine exhibit of foliage plants
from H. A. Dreer, at Riverton. All the
stalls are now taken. Business seems
active here.

Edward Towill, of Roslyn. Pa., is send-
ing fine Liberties to S. S. Pennock.

Eugene Bernheimer is receiving new
Beauties and Edgelys from the Floral
Exchange, also field-grown blooms of
Joost, Crocker and Fisher. He is now
among the growers.

D. T. Conner, of Loid & Burnham Co..
has his model greenhouse and boiler set
up at the new Flower Market headquar-
ters.

Jacob Becker is sending nice blooms
of his Ideal rose to the Leo Niessen Co.
This firm is receiving a fine lot of dahlias.

C. F. Edgar is away on a business
trip.

Edward Reid left for Dakota this
week. A. M. Campbell is in charge of
the business. A new ice box over the
rose cellar and new shelves give much
needed extra space.

Fred .1. Michell reports a shortage in
Roman hvacinths and Paper White nar-
cissi, with prices advancing. His firm

has sent out more of these bulbs than in
previous years.

Wm. Munro, of Lansdowne, Pa., is

PACIFIC COAST.

ROSE GROWING.

There is no reason why California
should not supply a large percent-
age of the hundreds of thousands of
roses that are planted, both under glass
and out doors. We have the advantage
of a long growing season; in fact, some
varieties grow and bloom here all
through the year. Our soil cannot be im-
proved on to produce a good healthy
growth and as we have several months
of dry weather in the summer season the
plants naturally become dormant, so that
there is little if any pruning required to
put them in shape for replanting in the
greenhouse and keeping them in cellais
until they can be planted in the open
ground in the early spring. I have im-
ported many varieties during the past
thirty years, both from the eastern states
and Europe, and I have invariably found
that the three and four-year-old stock is
inferior both in size and growth to that
raised here in a single season. I refer to
grafted plants as well as to those grown
on their own roots. I looked over a few
acres of budded stock this week and noted
the height of some of our best selling
sorts. American Beauty, one-year buds
averaged thirty to thirty-six inches in
height, Ulrich Brunner, thirty-six to
forty-eight inches; Bridesmaid, twenty
to twenty-four inches; Bride, twenty to
twenty- four inches; Kaiserin, twenty-
four to thirty inches ; Testout, twenty-four
to thirty inches; Oarnot, thirty inches,
and Gloire Lyonnaise, forty-eight inches.
A. Richardson, Crimson Rambler, Reine
Marie Henriette, Gloire de Dijon, Climb-
ing Devoniensis and Rene d'Or, the av-
erage height was from five to seven feet
for a year 's growth, with heavy stem and
plenty of roots to match.

This I consider about as large as it is
advisable or profitable to handle under
any consideration and yet that is the
usual size we grow roses in California
and, keep in mind, entirely without irri-
gation. We give tnem plenty of cultiva-
tion throughout the summer and by the
middle of September they have reached
the sizes I have just given and they are
dormant enough to handle without dan-
ger.

I have written especially thus far of
budded stock and will now devote a few
words to roses grown on their own roots.
All the big rose growers in California
prefer stock that is budded low down on
a suitable wild variety. When it is im-
possible to procure these, roses on their
own roots have to fill the bill. For gar-
den planting strong growing kinds are as
satisfactory one way as another, but they
are not usually the varieties that are
used for forcing and I have yet to find
a grower who does not prefer low bud-
ded stock that has been grown in the
nursery to anything that may be coaxed
along from one size of pot to another.

,1 have digressed somewhat from my
subject regarding the comparison be-
tween California grown roses and those
from other localities, but the fact re-
mains that we are able .to produce big-
ger, heavier plants entirely without irri-
gation in one-third of the time it takes
to mature them anywhere else. The ad-
vantage in growing roses without artifi-
cial watering is that they make heavier
branches and more small roots than they
do when they are irrigated. In addition,
there is no diflBculty in drying them off
jost before digging, generally done here

in September, when they are destined
for the torcing house, and plants so
grown when transplanted into beds in
the greenhouse and given plenty of
moisture break out immediately and in a
few weeks are a mass of young shoots.

Roses easily exhaust the soil and I do
not find it advisable to grow them longer
than two years on the same piece of
land. G.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

Business has not improved during the
past week and some of the florists at-
tribute the trade stagnation to the fact
that the city is all on the qui vive for
the coming Knights Templar celebration.
Whether that be the reason or not I do
not know, but certainly the puoiic is not
patronizing the stores to any great ex-
tent. Flowers, especially asters, are in
tremendous supply and they do not move
very readily. The bulk of them go to the
street venders and the price is away
down. The basket men sell a bunch con-
taining a dozen good asters, dahlias or
carnations made up with plenty of wild
fern for 10 cents, so it is easy to see
how the market goes. Some of the stores
have put up signs on the windows call-
ing attention to the fact that they have
greatly reduced the prices of flowers.
This in my judgment is very poor poli-
cy, for the few extra cents they take
in do not pay for the loss of prestige
they suffer with the good people. It
may be all right to try to cater to the
10-cent trade, but there is no chance of
ever making any money out of such a
proposition, as I have found that the
class of people who are looking for cheap
flowers always patronize the peddlers
and only go to the stores when the basket
venders are not in their accustomed
places.

Roses are scarce and if the stock was
better, they would bring more money.
All the Beauties I have seen within the
past week are poor in ffower and color,
although the stems and foliage are good.
Some few good Brides and Maids are of-
fered. Kaiserin is the best white in
market at present and they bring about
50 cents per dozen to the growers. I
have visited several of the large growers
of roses in this vicinity during the past
week and the chances for good stock are
very slim for some time to cpme.

A few good yellow mums are shown in
the windows around town. They are
selling wholesale at $1.50 to $2.50 per
dozen. The public have not seen enough
of them yet, however, to make any great
demand. It will be several weeks before
the outside flowers are offered in quan-
tity. G.

Altoona, Pa. — Chas. W. Eifler has

New Orleans. — Wm. Rehm recently
secured the corner at Napoleon and St.

The Market*

There has been a slight revival in
business this week but there is still much
to be desired. Asters continue to weigh
down the market although receipts are
not quite so heavy as they were. The
growers have found that the poor grades
hardly bring express charges if, indeed,
they are sold at all, and some of them
have, therefore, stopped shipping any-
thing except their very best stock. But
even this makes a great variety of ma-
terial and the waste is still large, though
as high as $1.50 to $2.00 is paid for
some of the best stocic ; however, $1.00 per
hundred buys good asters and in quan-
tity the buyer makes his own price.

There are enough Beauties for all; in
fact, prices are a little weak. Good
Brides are in active demand for shipping
and Maids hardly less so, the average
receipts not being up to the quality re-
quired. Kaiserin is good property. Lib-
erty is abundant and C?hatenay in over-
supply. Indoor carnations are not long
enough to fetch a price and the outdoor
stock is pretty badly used up, so that it
is a problem to get stock which will be
acceptable to out-of-town customers.

The gladioli do not pile up so badly as
a week ago, but are yet abundant. Hy-
drangeas are offered at low prices. A
few sweet peas are still seen. There are

{(lenty of greens. Talk of ferns is that
arger quantities than ever will go into
cold storage this fall. It is said the Hins-
dale people have raised their prices as
compared to last year.

Various Notes,

The manufacturers , of greenhouse
building material all report business for
the year as exceeding their expectations.
They are still very busy and orders are
coming in at a lively rate. Most of the
building has been by outside growers,
the bulk of local building coming from
the vegetable growers north of town.

Wm. Fluegge, Jr., a brother of
Fluegge Bros., who have succeeded Wm.
Fluegge, Sr., on Lawrence avenue, built
a nice range of glass at Morton Grove
last season and now has his place in fine
shape, growing carnations. He ships
his cut to A. L. Randall Co. and his
brothers ship to E. C. Amling.

John Mangel has had a nice showing
in his window the past week, using
Hunt's birch bark baskets in medium

sizes, filled with fine, long-stemmed Shas-
ta daisies, with a pale yellow ribbon tied
on the handle. They are effective for
many purposes.

J. A. Budlong reached Providence, R.
I., safely on his annual bicycle trip to
visit relatives there.

C. Ml Dickinson is expected home from
Mt. Clemens in a few days but is not
yet wholly freed from rheumatism.

P. J. Hauswirth goes to St. Joe, Mo.,
tomorrow to attend the annual national
meeting of the Jved Men.

Peter Eeinberg, John Muno, B. F.
Weber and Matt Evert have returned
from a week's good shooting at Morgan,
Minn.

Frank Garland states that he has can-
celed all of his Dutch bulb ordera and
will try to live down the name of Little
Holland, given his place at Des Plaines
because of the number of bulbs forced
there in reoent years. One season he
forced over 300,000 and sales aggre-
gated $5,800, which was little enough,
and the last year or two there has b^n
no profit worth mentioning. He now has
a big house of mums for which a follow
crop will have to be found and intends
to try violets. He will still grow Easter
lilies and a few French bulbs.

C. E. Morton is expected home from
Europe in a few days. His deal with
John H. Holden, for the purchase of
his Forty-seventh street store, which was
all arranged last spring, has not yet been
consummated.

Mons Olson, of J. A. Budlong 's, is at
Kansas City for a few days.

A. L. Randall is now shipping the
peach crop from his farm in Michigan,
but it isn't a big one, orchards near the
lake having suffered badly last winter.

E. F. Winterson Co. is getting in a few
baskets of pansies but they sell slowly
at $2.00 per 100 bunches.

Weiland & Risch have about 5,000
single-stemmed chrysanthemum plants
which have made a wonderful growth.

Poehlmann Bros. Co. are rushing build-
ing operations on their new glass.

Last year we had frost S^tember 10.

The Market.

Corfu, N. Y. — LeRoy E. Adams has
bought out Wm. F. Jeffords.

The retailers seem glad that August is
past and are expecting better business in
September, with the returning of city
people, and improvement in stock will
make increased sale. However, I believe
from some things I have heard that thia
August was as good as any other August.

Various Notes.

Ollie Beet, manager of L. I. Neff *B
east end store, has gone to California
with the Knights Templar.

The Knights of Pythias dedicated
their farm and home one day last week
and E. C. Ludwig contributed the stock
to plant an orchard. As Ernest never
does anything by halves, some nursery-
man is going to get a good order.

B. L. Elliott, the rose and carnation
grower of Cheswick, and his wife, will
spend a few weeks on the briny deep. Ben
has been making inquiry as to the best
thine to anchor your stomach with.

All growers in this section report
planting all done and had good weather
to do it in. They are now only waiting
for winter to harvest their shekels.

We have just heard of a florist who
has moved into a store formerly occupied
by a real estate man. The sign over the
door read: "Pay little and buy lots."
He says it is a good sign and has left
it up.

J. J, Zimmerman, formerly at L. I.
Neff's Braddock store, has opened a new
store on Mt. Washington.

W. B. Ague, who runs the big flower
stand in the Liberty Market, has just
returned from Atlantic City .

Randolph & McClements, in order to
make room for their always increasing
trade, are going up in the air this time
by adding another story to their store,
also putting down a cement walk around
their property.

The boys at the Pittsburg Cut Flower
Co. were buried in asters last week. A
heavy demand would have been necessary
to clean up this stock.

Paul M. Pierson, of Scarborough, was
one of the visitors last week.

B. Eschner, of M. Rice & Co., stopped
in this city on his way from St. Louis.

Ed. Reid, of Philadelphia, stopped
here on his way west.

Will Flemm, of Breitenstein & Flemm,
is away on his vacation. Hoo-Hoo.

Rocky Foed muskmelon seed from all
reports is likely to be plentiful the com-
ing season.

No improvement over last week in the
condition of wax podded beans is shown
by this week's reports.

There seems to be no uneasiness at
eastern points as to any serious shortage
in green podded beans.

The early varieties of sweet corn are
reported safe from frost, and a fairly
good harvest is expected.

The dwarf varieties of wrinkled peas
are about as short as usual at this time
and the prices are going up.

Reports to hand September 3 indicate
that seed crops of sweet corn in Connecti-
cut and New York are very late.

Cucumber and sweet corn crops are
having suitable weather now and the out-
look for a harvest is more favorable.

Onion set harvesting was completed at
Chicago by September 10 last year; it
will go beyond September 20 this year.

The later harvest of onion sets at
Chicago shows the stock to be quite in-
ferior to that harvested early. This is
always the case; a slow growth is not
favorable to the onion set, and a late
harvest always gives a large percentage
of stiff necks.

The Archias Seed Store, Sedalia, Mo.,
not only makes a good display of seeds
and implements at the state fair, but
makes the agricultural exhibits a strong
advertisement for them by offering a
number of premiums for vegetables, etc.,
grown from their seeds.

Henry Fxeld, Shenandoah, la., says
that for the season of 1904 his expendi-
ture for newspaper advertising was a tri-
fle over $1,000, and he received over 10,-
000 direct inquiries. Almost half of
them proved to be buyers, and he made
direct mail-order sales amounting to over
$24,000. This was exclusive of any
commission or wholesale business.

SOUTHERN SEED CHiOPS.

G. B. McVay, president of the Amzi
Godden Co., Birmingham, Ala., on Sep-
tember 5 supplies the following report on
seed crops that are grown in that sec-
tion of the United States:

Watermelon is a fairly good crop and
deliveries will not be short of seventy-
live to ninety per cent.

Egg plant is a big crop and deliveries
will be made in full.

White multiplying onions were a short
crop and only about twenty-five per cent
deliveries were made.

Winter top setB were also an exceed-
ingly short crop and not over twenty-five
per cent deliveries were made.

Okra is the principal seed crop grown
in this section. The crop looks fine at
the present time and unless a heavy frost
visits us a full crop will be made, but it
requires a full season for this crop, as
the period of producing never ceases
until -about -the -middle of October. From
present Y'^^sp^cts -we have every reason
to believe that full delivery will be made
on this item.

PURE SEEDS.

Is it not about time for the American
Seed Trade Association, the postal au-
thorities, or some other organization
wielding authority, to undertake to put
a stop to the fraudulent use of the mails
by many of the so-icalled seedsmen?
Farms have been ruined by obnoxious
weeds contained in seed purchased from
these parties. Many a farmer after tak-
ing exceptional pains to prepare his best
ground for some supposedly fine grain
advertised by such seedsman, discovers
that the yield was not as good as he had
been feeding his live stock. If the pure
food law is doing any good for humanity,
may not the same principles be applied
to the seed business to benefit the farm-
ers of our country and the good seeds-
men? Frank B. White.

ORANGE, N. J.

At the regular meeting of the New
Jersey Floricultural Society, September
2, the topic of the organization for the
gardeners was laid on the table upon mo-
tion of Jos. A. Manda. Mr. Manda
told the society of his experiences at St.
Louis and the ravages of the white aphis
upon the maple trees of East Orange
was discussed but no remedy suggested.
The floral display was a representation of
the season's flowers, the awards showing
varying degrees of merit, and consisted
of gladioli, dahlias, phloxes, delphiniums,
asters and verbenas, to which the well-
known names of Edward Thomas, Arthur
Bodwell, D. Kindsgrab, Peter Duff, Wm.
Read, W. J. Bennett, Malcolm MacRorie
and John Hayes were appended.

Some fine sprays of Polygonum cuspi-
datum from the estate of Stuart Harts-
home, grown by Arthur Caparn, occu-
pied the center of the main table. Mr.
Caparn showed a well arranged vase of
this with delphiniums. Peter Duff's
large blooms of the white dahlia. Grand
Duke Alexis, were much admired. The
group of C^pripedium insigne hybrids
from Henry Graves, Edward Thomas,
gardener, and the collection of ferns,
Scottii, Piersoni and Anna Foster, from
William Barr, Arthur Bodwell, gardener,
received high praise. Flowers not for
competition consisting of gladioli from
Stuart Hartshorne, A. Caparn, gardener;

caitiations from Mn, H. A. Mandeville,
M. M»eBDrie, gardener, and O. D. Munn.
John Hayec, ^rdener, and asters and
verbenas from JT, B. Davis were suitably
rewarded with the society's certificates.
The judges for the evening were Ar-
thur Caparn, Jos. A. Mand» and Edward
Thomas. J. B. D.

SPACE UNDER BENCHES.

Indirectly I have fallen heir to a num-
ber of queries and topics too numerous
to reply to, or open on, all at once, so I
choose one of me laziest for the present.
The subscriber asks: "What ia the best
disposition to make, in a greenhouse
plant, of the room under the benches!
Can bulbs, such as tulips, French hya-
cinths or Paper White narcissi be grown
there to advantage!" I don't think that
space beneath the benches should be
■considered wasted because you don 't pro-
■duce a crop there, any more than you
should deplore the fact that there is a
fine space wasted between the top of your
plants on the bench and the glass. Yet
there are a number of uses to which to
put the space beneath the benches.

Some growers of bulbs put their flats
there for a few days when first brought
in from outside, but it is not a place to
grow them. There would not be heat
enough in mid-winter and in March and
April, when little heat is needed, these
bulbs would all grow weak, lanky, topple
over and be largely useless. Bulbs, that
is tulips, narcissi, etc., take up little
room when you consider that a crop only
occupies the bench from fifteen to twenty
days. In April or about Easter, when
greatly crowded, we often put flats of
tulips and narcissi on the ground along
the edge of a path and partly beneath
the bench, but never before the flowers
are about open. They get light there
and are too far matured to be harmed.

Beneath a warm, dry bench we lay on
their sicles after New Year's our stock
plants of poinsettia. Lemon verbenas,
lantanas and stock fuchsias that have
been ^own in pots all summer will rest
there if not allowed to get too dry, until
January or February, Hydrangeas, after
a light frost, are brought in and stood
along the edge of the path or just be-
neath the bench in a cool house. Beneath
a bench in a carnation house is a most
excellent place for storing canna roots.
While they are there you are not water-
ing your carnations so copiously that
there is enough drip to hurt the roots.
We have often stood a few hundred pots
of Astilbe Japonica beneath a bench until
the foliage started.

Penally, many florists have no shed to
store their pots in and, if boards are put
down to keep the pots oflf the eaith, un-
der a bench is a good place during win-
ter, but let me say that the man who
leaves his pots beneath the bench during
summer when there is no fire heat but
copious drippings from the bench above,
is a friend to the pot maker and an enemy
to himself.

Many uses can occasionally and inci-
dentally be made of the space beneath
a bench, but I know of no crop that can
be cultivated entirely in such a place, ex-
cept it be Agaricus campestris, and the
writer is far more expert at eating than
at cultivating mushrooms.

CLASSIFICATION OF DAHLIAS.

At the last meeting of the Newport

Horticultural Society a committee was

chosen to make rules for the classification

of dahlias for their September show.

The following is their report:

The olabsifloatlon of dahlias shall be founded
on the following rales and descriptions:

1. Cactus. — Rays or florets (petals) about
twice aa long as they are broad with edges
rolled backwards for two-thirds of their
length, with a tendency to curve upwards at
tips, arrangement loose and free; the floret
tips should be entire and not split or toothed,
the colors solid or variegated. Involucre
bracts narrow an(J having margins curled back.

Note. Fringed cactus flowers like the above
but with tips notched or toothed admlssable
here.

Types. Lord Roberts and Mrs. Charles
Turner; for fringed cactus, Captain Broad.

2. Decorative or Hybrid Cactus. — Rays al-
most as broad as lone, flat or with edges
turned upwards, tip with tendency to reflex.

Tj-pes. Oban, Nymphaea, Catherine Duer.

3. Show. — Size medium to very large, rays
Clipped. Colors solid or variegated, with
edges or tips darker than the ground color.

Types, Storm King and A. D. Llvonl.

4. Fancy. — Similar to the show, but having
ground color darker than edge or tip.

Types, Admiral Schley, Frank Smith.

5. Pompon or Bouquet. — Size one to two
inches In diameter. Rays cupped as in show
and fancy. Colors solid or variegated

6. Tom Thumb. — Plants very dwarf'. Flow-
ers; two to three inches In diameter; colors
various.

7. Single.— Bays or florets, eight preferred
and not recurved at margins; colors solid or
variegated.

8. Single Cactus. — Florets long and nar-
row with edges rolled backwards as in the
double cactus, sometimes twisted at the tin
eight florets preferred.

9. Collarette.— Single, with n row of petal-
old stamens in the ray of florets

10. Single Decorative or Hybrid Cactus.—

TARRYTOWN. N. Y.

The monthly meeting of the Tarrytown
Horticultural Society was held August
30, President Ballantyne in the chair.
Angus Ross, Ossining; H. Shave, Tarry-
town, and A. Gelding, Irvington, were
elected active members. J. G. Raw, E.
Lundberg and Hamilton Scott were pro-
posed for membership.

The following prominent horticulturists
were invited to act as judges at the No-
vember exhibition. John Ash, Pomfret,

Conn.; Mr. Jenkins, Lenox, Mass.; Wm.
Hastings, Tuxedo; D. Frazer, Pittsburg;
C. H. Totty, Madison, N. J., and John
Scott, BrooUyn.

After the business was dispatched, the
entertainment committee, Wm. Scott and
J. W. Smith, were called upon to do
their duty in the way of serving refresh-
ments, and for the rest of the evening
the members had a most enjoyable time,
singing songs, telling stories and discuss-
ing the summer outing to Rye Beach,
which took place August 17. Over eighty-
five members and friends sat down to
dinner at the beach. The chief amuse-
ments were bowling and shooting, R.
White carrying off first prize for being
the best shot. The members present
seemed to be all of the same mind, that
they had a very good time. Prizes for
dahlias are offered for the September
meeting. T. A. L.

AMERICAN PEONY SOCIETY.

The following is the full text of the

circular of the American Peony Society,

briefly referred to in last week 's Revibw :

The American Peony Society at its last meet-
ing in New York agreed to co-operate with the
Horticultural Department of Cornell CnlverBlty
for the purpose of making a study of all varle-
tles of peonies that It Is possible to secure at
the present time. This study is to extend over
a sufficient period of years to enable the In-
yestlgatorg to cover the following objects:

1. Nomenclature. — To bring order out of the
confusion which now exists in the naming of
varieties. This part of the study will establish
correct names by applying rules of nomenclature
and will furnish growers with accurate descrip-
tions of all authentic varieties.

2. Botany.— To ascertain the botanical statns
of each variety. In other words, to refer it to
the species from which it appears to have been
derived.

3. Cultural.— Careful studies of varieties shall
be made in order to determine the commercial
values of the different kinds. Such points as
^i*?,""',. "^"Ith. florlferous qualities and colors
shall be noted. It Is also expected that fertil-
izer experiments designed to Influence the sice
and shipping quality of the flowers shall be In-
cluaed.

The conditions governing the test are as fol-
lows:

1. The land, the labor of planting and all sub-
sequent care are provided by the Kxperlment
Station. All notes are taken by the station
?„'"T„ IS^ J? " scheme arranjted and cooperated

organization.

Those who Intend aiding In this Important co-
operative experiment should send their collec-
tions to the Horticultural Department. Cornell

University. Ithaca, N. Y., about September 16.
Plants should be carefully packed, labelled and
accAnpanled by a list of varieties with BWiMr
of plants of each kind forwarded. It WO'*' "S
well In forwarding the planU to notify fewe-
tary Fewkes as Well as the chairman of tne
committee on Nomenclature.

The committee in charge consists of
John Craig, Horticultural Department
Cornell Univeisity, Ithaca, N. Y., chair-
man; C. J. Malloy (EUwanger & Barry),
Rochester, N. Y.; John A. Charlton,
Rochester, N. Y.; J. F. Rosenfield, West
Point, Neb.; A. H. Fewkes, secretary

lands, Mass.

AMERICAN CARNATION SOCIETY.

A meeting of the board of directors
was held in the Exposition building, St.
Louis, August 18. President James
Hartshorne presided.

The first order of business was the
adoption of the premium list. After
considerable discussion the list was
adopted as per last year's schedule, ex-
cepting the display of single blooms,
which was eliminated, all agreeing that
it did not add to the appearance of the
show and was of no educational value.

An offer by H. Weber & Sons, Oak-
land, Md., of cash prizes for Genevieve
Lord, Gov. Lowndes and Norway was
received and accepted. The president,
secretary and all members of the society
were recommended to solicit special pre-
miums and forward particulars to the
secretary as soon as practical and not
later than October 1.

It was unanimously approved that the
premium list be printed and mailed on
or about November 1, that it be printed
complete, advertisements included, and a
second copy mailed on or about January
1, 1905, so that advertisers receive a
double circulation and the members be
kept reminded of the valuable premiums
offered.

Papers offered by President Harts-
horne, and approved by the board, are
as follows: "Carnation Diseases," by
Prof. Hasselbring, of the University of
Chicago, Chicago; "Carnations From a
Retailer's Point of View," by Geo.
Weinhoeber, of Chicago, this paper to be
illustrated with the practical demonstra-
tion of effects possible with camatioas;
"Exhibition Carnations," by Fred
Lemon, Richmond, Ind., illustrating
methods of cutting, packing and staging;
"Cutting, Packing and Shipping Carna-
tions for Long and Short Distance Ship-
ments," illustrated by practical demon-
stration, by C. L. Washburn, Chicago.

President Hartshorne advised the board
that the sixth floor of the Auditorium
Hotel had been secured as an exhibition
and meeting room. It is a large, finely
arranged hall with miosaic floor, admit-
ting of the application of moisture to
help keep the atmosphere in good shape
for the flowers. It is well ventilated and
almost ideal for the showing and keep-
ing of carnations. Meeting rooms are
at the end of the hall on the same floor.
He added that there is every reason to
look for this as the banner meeting of
the society and recommended that every
member make his arrangements to come
and bring a few new members.

There being no further business be-
fore the meeting, it was declared ad-
journed to meet in Chicago the last
Wednesday of January, 1905.

Albert M. Herb, Sec'y.

Lenox, Mass. — The contract for the
new greenhouses to be built at Green-
ville Winthrop's country place has been
awarded to the Pierson-Sefton Co., of

that many nurserymen now find the call
for it declining.

The wholesale demand for peonies is
reported considerably less than last sea-
son, with retail business showing a nice
increase, both east and west.

Mant nurserymen now make their most
determined effort for orders for fall
planting, feeling that routine methods
will bring all the business they can handle
in the brief spring season.

Egbert H. Blair, a prominent nursery-
man of Kansas City, died August 28 at
the home of his nephew, G«orge H. John-
son, 1004 Forest avenue, of a nervous
trouble. Mr. Blair was one of the orig-
inal owners of the Lee's Summit nurs-
eries. He was 67 years aid and a na-
tive of Pennsylvania.

The bulk of California deciduous
fruits are grown in the Sacramento val-
ley. Shipments from there to eastern
markets to date have been 3,330 car-
loads, including pears 1,400 cars, plums
990, peaches 475, cherries 209. The total
is considerably less than last year, there
being a heavy falling off in peach ship-
ments.

PIPING AND PUMP.

Will a fifty horse-power steain bftilei'
be sufficient to maintain a night tempera-
ture of 50 to 55 degrees in zero weather
in three houses 22x150? The houses are
twelve feet from flbbi- level to ridge,
both gables exposed, .thzee feet waai-^md
the balance glass. TiM'east wall adjoins
lOtber ^veenhouses, but the west wall is
exposed, with four feet wood and three
feet glass. The houses are connected.
The intention is to carry 1%-inch pipes
overhead for flows and return in I14-
inch pipes along the sides of the solid tile
beds. How many of these pipes will be
required to maintain the above tempera-
ture! If the boiler is placed on the level
of the greenhouse floor will a steam trap
answer to return the water to the boiler
or would a steam pump be necessary?

H. L. J.

A fifty horse-power boiler, having
proper draught, will carry at least three
more such houses. The we^t house will
require fifteen lines of 1*4 -inch pipe as
returns and three lines of 1*4 ■inch pipes
for flows. Each of the other houses will
require two flow and eleven return pipes.
It would be more satisfactory, however,
to use one 3-inch flow pipe in each
house instead of two and three lines of
1%-inch.

If the water lever of boiler can be

{>laced at least eight inches below the
owest point in the return pipes, the
water can be returned to boiler without
either tatip or steam pump. If the boiler
must be set so that the water level is
above the return pipes, the water can
be returned to the boiler by means of an
automatic steam trap. The working of
this trap will require the maintenance
of a steam pressure of eight or ten
pounds . L. C. C.

Oentlkmxn : — The dozen plants of

Indianapolis Carnation sent to me for

trial last Suni^mer received unfortunately

poor care and were starved in three-inch

pots till the end of August, when they

were put on the bench. They quickly

recovered and by Christmas gave us

some splendid flowers. I consider its

habit perfect. It is all flowers and a

splendid stem. There surely will be a

widespread demand for this fine pink

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

Sefxkmber 8, 1004.

NEWPORT, R. L

The Market.

Our florists had a busy August. Boses
are selling well, especially American
Beauties, which seem eveiy season to
grow more in favoft Kaiserins were very
good the past few days and in short sup-
ply. Liberties are about used up for the
present. Gardenias have been in such
favor this summer that the supply is all
but gone, and they sell on the avenue
as high as $9 a dozen for the best. Out-
door! stuff is in laige supply, but there is
only^a market for the very best of it ; in
Jact, there is no use" trying to sell any-
thing but the very best in this market.
Some beautiful gladioli are seen. The
favorite decorative dahlia of Newport is
Catherine Duer, a most gorgeous crimson
red, and everyone wants it for dinner
decorations; good flowers sell readily for
$3 a dozen. This week the horse show
and next week the dog show will keep
things going.

Various Notes.

Stewart Ritchie has had a very busy
and good season; besides all his bedding
stuff which was even more than usual, he
has carried on a very large vegetable
garden.

Thomas Galvin tells us that he sold
entirely out of geraniums, and as he
grew something over 20,000 he has reason
to feel i)leased. At wholesale they
brought $8 per hundred. Zero.

• ••

Davenport, Ia.— Littig Bros, are in a
predicament. Two parties claim title to
the building in which their store is lo-
cated and each demands the rent. They
are withholding payment until the courts
decide to whom they shall pay.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

September 8, 1904.

OCEANIC N. J.

A very well attended meeting of the
Monmouth County Horticultural Society
took place September 2, The main busi-
ness was the discussion of the show to
be held November 1 and 2, which prom-
ises to be one of the best ever held by
this society. The secretary announced
several donations as cash prizes. (Jeo.
Hale showed a fine collection of dahlias,
twenty-five varieties of show and fancy,
for which he received 90 points, and
twenty-seven varieties of cactus, for
which he got 95. Two light buff seed-
lings scored 80 points and one shell-pink
scored 85. Wm. Turner showed some
peaches, Thomas Eivers, grown under
glass. This peach is unsurpassed in
size, shape and color, and measures ten
and three-quarters inches in circumfer-
ence, but we can say nothing as to its
flavor, as our judging did not go that
far. The judges of the evening were
James Dowlen, W. Kennedy and N. But-
terbach. ' B.

Detroit, Mich.— (George A. Backliam
was married Tuesday evening, Septem-
ber 6, to a sister of his first wife, who
has been his housekeeper for the past six
years. Mr. and Mrs. Backhaul are now
on a trip along the north shore of Lake
Superior.

IN DESIGN...

DECORATIVE SCHEMES.

Mirror Decorations.

Important among floral designs, ac-
cording to a definition given in a recent
article, are the single features of a room
decoration. Each one, or the whole and
its parts, should be as truly a design as
a pillow or a harp, although there should
be some diflference as to the positive
nature of the design.

First, having selected the architectural
f jeature which you wish ' to embellish,
make up your mind how you want it to
look when finished; second, determine
how to accomplish it. In other words,
get the design first and then consider
the mechanical execution. If the design
satisfies you, even if the execution seems
difficult, invent a way to sustain or hold
the design as you see it first in your
mind's eye.

After all that is said these days as
to looseness and naturalness of arrange-
ment, there must be a certain amount
of symmetry and unity in every correct
decoration. While the outlines of no
two petals on the same flower, or on dif-
ferent flowers of the same variety, or
the leaflets on the same leaf, or two
leaves on the same plant will exactly
coincide if one is placed over the other,
there is the same general formation ob-
served in both, and a uniformity in gen-
eral but never in detail. It should be
just 80 in regard to the units or orna-
ment which we manufacture. Make each
one a symmetrical unit, but not slavishly
so in every detail. I do not know of a
better synonym for symmetry in this
connection than the term "balance."
Let every product have a certain regular
appearance to its outline. It is almost
permissible to carry this a little farther
into the mathematical realm, and say
let the outline of a single decorative
scheme take the form of a geometrical
figure.

In a good window or mirror decora-
tion the approximately regular appear-
. ance can be traced easily. In order to
illustrate this plainly, take the ordinary
form of decoration for a tall, narrow
mirror. It has a large, triangular ar-
rangement of plants or cut flowers at
the base, and a balancing upper triangle
formed of light material, like smUax or
Asparagus Sprengeri. These two trian-
gles have a position natural to them-
selves. If the lower scheme were re-
versed and that part of the decoration
placed on the same side of the mirror
as the ujijjor part, the effect would bo
gapinjj and siwkward.

The san;e principle of design form
may be easily traced in the illustration,
the same triangle scheme. As can be
readily seen, this also is a mirror dec-
oration.

There should always be some sort of
connection between the lines of a deco-
rative scheme, either accomplished or
suggested. In this illustration the sprays

of smilax from the top appear to be
stretching toward the lily stalks. In
a few cases they have reached them,
but oftener they have failed, and still
a larger number have become entangled
with each other and their tips have been
turned to one side or the other, and on
the left side of the mirror frame they
are caught in a garland which falls to
the base on the left and is thickened
by the addition of heavier strings and
festooned along the whole front of the
mantel shelf and the grate. The dra-
pery scheme almost "encircles the lily
banking. At the point where the dra-
pery seems to weaken, we have made
the strongest point and heaviest part of
the lily grouping, thus preserving the
balance. Avoiding any abrupt corners,
extending several feet from the upper

en strings were tied together at the
heavy end. Enough of the tie wire was
left to wrap around a double-pointed
tack which was thus made to serve the
purpose of half a dozen tacks and also
to serve a good principle in art, namely,
to start as many lines from a common
source as possible.

For the banking of the mantel with
lilies, we used a galvanized pan six
inches deep and long enough to about
cover the average mantel. It is water-
tight, painted a dark olive-green on the
outside, and filled solidly with sphagnum.
The sphagnum was also filled in in places
three or four inches above the top of the
pan. This filling in irregularly was no
accident. It is not desirable to have a
bank so that flowers will form a straight
line across the mantel. If the flowers
happen to be all of about the same
length stem, make hills and hollows in
your sphagnum filling and thus break the
outline of the flower groups. Lay wood
ferns over the top of the sphagnum and
along the outside edges of the pan, al-
lowing them to droop outward suflBciently
to hide the pan. It is not often neces-
sary to wrap the sphagnum in a mantel
pan. If, however, the moss is banked up
high enough to need it, wrap over the
moss and around the pan with hemp

left point of the mirror frame, there was
a tapering garland of smilax following
the molding and straggling over a pii--
ture frame.

This illustration was a part of a De-
cember wedding decoration, made as fol-
lows: The upper part was of separated
smilax fastened in clusters on the back
part of the top only. From six to a doz-

twine, much as is done with wire frames.
If an extra long mantel is to be deco-
rated, and you desire to use your average
nze pan, piece out at each end with a
fern plant or a flat basket filled with
fern leaves stemmed and -set in sphag-
num. If the mantel is too deep, pull the
pan to the front and spread out foliage
from the pan backwards. Fifty lilies

were used on this mantel. On the right
side, where the lilies appear so much
taller, they were set in a tall vase which
was planted firmlj in the moss in the
pan. This vase was not supposed to
show.

The smilait was, of course, put up first.
The lower draperies were caught with
wire, one end of which was attached to a
pick, and this carried into the sphagnum
m the pan. The lilies were wired and
inserted in groups with all the good
foliage left on the stalk. Some were
found to be top-heavy, even although

well packed into the sphagnum. They
were let alone to lean as they would.
Turn the flowers every way, in, out and
facing the mirror. The mantel here pic-
tured and the molding of the mirror
were light in color, and displayed to good
advantage the green drapery, while the,
lilies were nearly all thrown against the
reflecting surface of the mirror. There
was no banking in the fireplace. This is
not necessary unless the latter is unsight-
ly, and even then it will never show
when the room becomes crowded.

SEASON FOR WATCHFULNESS.

September and October are usually two
of the most trying months for the rose
grower, and to carry the crops success-
fully over this period requires constant
care and a great deal of skill and fore-
thought. The evils which beset the plants
at this season are many and owing to the
natural propensity to take a lest they
are in a less vigorous state to resist
the encroachments of the many troubles
to which they are heirs.

Owing to this decrease in root activity
greater care must be exercised in ad-
justing the supply of water to suit the
actual requirements of the plants and,
as evaporation is also on the decrease and
any excess of water on the bench will
act in a^ very detrimental manner to
the health of the stock, it is obvious that
too much care cannot be taken to keep
them in condition to enter the long
winter vrithout a handicap.

The transition from natural to arti-
ficial heat should be very gradual and
great care should be taken in watering
and ventilating. "Where the pipes are
under the benches the greatest care is
necessary in order to keep the soil uni-
formly moist. Previous to applying ar-
tificial heat the benches are heated from
above by the sun 's rays and the state
of the soil is easily gauged, but with
artificial heating this condition is in many
cases reversed, the heat affecting the bot-
tom of the soil first, hence the necessity
of a more careful inspection.

The art of ventilation plays an im-
portant part in preparing rose stock for
the winter and if this is neglected or
carelessly performed we are sure to have
a stock of troubles which will last dur-
ing the winter. Ventilating should be
begun as early in the morning as the tem-
perature begins to rise whether this is
caused by the heat of the sun or by ar-
tificial heat, and should be gradually in-

creased as the day warms, taking care
never to give so much at a time as to
lower the temperature of the house per-
ceptibly and avoiding draughts.

The same care should be exercised in
reducing the ventilation during the after-
noon, taking particular care that the ven-
tilators are not closed down so much
at a time as to raise the temperature
over 5°, unless in cases of emergency
such as a sudden lowering in the out-
side temperature, accompanied by cold
rains or snow, showers, etc. By a care-
ful study oiE outside conditions the
grower can by intelligent manipulation
of valves and ventilators (if he has -i
good command of heat), create conditions
inside the houses favorable to his crops
at all stages and control those conditions
just as he desires. Bibes.

BEAUTIES AND TEAS.

We have one house 100 feet long, par-
titioned off. In one half we grow Beau-
ties and in the other half Bridesmaid
and Golden Gate. Our Beauties were
planted May 7 in five inches of good
soil and have attained the height of
three and one-half feet and about twelve
inches through. As I do not want the
flowers for some time yet, please give me
«ome afivice as to disbudding and gen-
eral care. Two of our benches in the
other house are two-year-old plants and
the other two one-year-old. What ad-
vice as to disbudding and thinning out,
and also what temperature would you
keep them during the winter!

I would also like to say that our car-
nations were planted July 18 and started
along finely up to about August 25, when
I noticed that there were quite a few
plants dying off. I would like to know
the reason and how I could prevent it.
Would also like to know of some good
fungicide to spray on carnations, and
how often, as a preventive to diseases.

Subscriber.

It depends a good deal when you want
the Beauties to come into crop. If you
wish to defer the blooming season till
late October or November, cut off half
the flower stem. By picking off the

crown or first bud you can have another
good bud from the base of the bud stem
in from three to five weeks.

The general care of Beauty stock from
now on consists in keeping them in a free
growing condition, allowing no check to
take place either from over-watering,
want of water or an atmospheric chiS.
Abundance of ventilation, even at the
expense of an all night fire, is absolutely
essential in order to discourage black
spot and other fungous troubles. Above
all have the foliage dry over night. The
temperature should never be less than
58 degrees during the night, with a good
crack of air on.

The two-year-old stock should get a
partial rest and have some of the old soil
removed. Then sprinkle some air-slaked
lime over the bench and apply a mulch
of equal parts of decomposed cow ma-
nure and good fibrous soil. The smaller
wood should be thinned out and the
stronger shoots tied down as nearly hor-
izontal as possible to encourage the dor-
mant eyes at the base of the stem to
break. Give one thorough watering and
keep the house as cool and moist as pos-
sible for the first ten days. Then as the
eyes break and fresh leaves develop, in-
crease the supply of water and ventila-
tion. Temperature during winter should
be for Brides and Maids, 56 degrees
during the night, increasing to 75 de-
grees or even 80 degrees, according to in-
tensity of sunshine.

The cause of your carnations dying
off in the bench is undoubtedly stem-rot,
caused by some form of bacteria, for
which as yet there is no certain remedy.
Pull out all the affected plants and re-
move the surrounding soil, replace with
fresh soil and add about one-sixteenth of
its bulk of equal parts of air-slaked
lime and sulphur. So many different
forms of fungi attack the carnation that
without some more definite information
any general advice might lead to disas-
ter. Questions on carnations, giving full
details of the trouble, will without doubt
be carefully considered by either Mr.
Osborn or Mr. Baur, who are fully com-
petent to handle such if given sufficient
data. BiBES.

The Soil Pile.

It is an excellent plan to prepare soil
a year previous to its being used and, to
obtain the best results, it should be done
before fall rains or cold weather set in.
Some growers build a pile of sod scat-
tering manure between the layers. Others
plow a piece of sod and leave to the
action of frost until spring, when the
soil is thrown into piles. Either method
is good but in deciding which is the most
advisable to pursue, much depends on
how the land has been worked previous
to its being gotten ready for bench soil.

If the ground has been in sod for
many years it is very liable to harbor
grubs and cut worms and the latter
method would aid in the destruction of
these pests. This method, too, consumes
less time and is probably the less expen-
sive, a greater part of the work being
done by horses. Whether to spread the
manure before or after plowing or add
when making into piles in spring has been
a question with some, but considering the
loss that must take place when manure
is exposed to the weather, there is little
doubt but that it is economy to add the
manure at time of making into piles.

When circumstances permit, I favor

the piling of sod and manure in alter-
nate layers, making the piles not over
four feet in height and flat on top. "When
cut down in the spring and thrown into
another pile the ingredients will be thor-
oughly mixed and in excellent mechanical
condition when wanted for use. I would
add nothing else to the soil at this time
unless it might be a small quantity of air
slaked lime which will help keep it sweet,

Do not fail to lay up enough soil for
use in potting young stock at propagat-
ing time. No manure should be used,
just plain sod piled grass side down, and
locate it where it can be readily reached
•luring the winter. After the first hard
freeze cover with boards, straw, etc., to
prevent frost getting in too far and you
can draw on this supply any time de-
sired.

tion must be paid to the new shoots now

numerous I would pinch them out and
let the plants come away again with
several shoots until it could be deter-
mined that they were all right. Any
shoots that are all right should be left,
as it is really too late now to be pinching
shoots, only in a case of necessity such
as this. Beian Bobu.

A TINY WORM.

I send some tops of Maud Dean chrys-
anthemum which seem to be affected
with disease. Can you inform me what
it ist Other varieties in the same house
seem perfectly healthy. What can be
done with these? Would you advise
pinching the tops off and letting them
break again? D. E. G.

The trouble with the tops of the Maud
Dean chrysanthemum is caused by a tiny
worm that will be found burrowing in-
side the stem of the plant, just at the
extreme tip. If the correspondent will
cut the stem open he will find the cause
of his troubles. I have seen traces of
this pest every year, but never anything
beyond an occasional plant wculd be af-
fected. The worm causing the trouble is
so small as to be almost invisible and its
presence would hardly be noticed.

ABUTELON AND HIBISCUS.

I would like to know the time and
best way to propagate abutilon and hi-
biscus. C. F. A.

As the abutilon and hibiscus are as-
sociated in this question we will sup-
pose that C. F. A. alludes to Hibiscus
Rosa-Sinensis, the evergreen green-
house flowering shrub. As the abuti-
lon and hibiscus are closely allied gen-
era, the method of propagation is about
the same. All the abutilons will root
easily from the tips of the young
growth, but they root more quicklv
and surely after flring has begun, in
December on to April.

The hibiscus should be kept cool and
rather dormant during midwinter and
in March should be pruned hard back
to secure the young growths that will
produce the flower. The younp
growths that are made after pruning
are just what you want for propagat-
ing.

Allow me to say that at this very
moment, or rather at this lovely season
of the year, the hardy hibiscus usu-
ally known as althaea or rose of sharon
is a magnificent shrub, one of the best

of all our hardy flowering shrubs,
rather tender when small and trans-
planted, but when well established
there are few if any more lovely
shrubs or dwarf trees. Clematis pani-
culata, the rose of sharon and a few
other things make us think just now
that the world is all right. W. S.

IRISES AND LILIES.

Will you kindly tell us the best time
to set a bed of Japanese and German
irises? Also tell us the time to set lilies
of various kinds, auratum, rubrum and al-
bum. A customer wishes these in a
bed in the full sun all day, merely a row
of peonies through from east to west.
Could any annual be grown among them
to shade the ground so they would do well
in this situation? G. F. H.

Iris, both the German and Japanese
species (and the forms and varieties are
legion), should be planted in early fall;
the end of this month or first week of
October will do. Although the iris is a
very hardy plant, it will be well to pro-
tect these transplanted roots with litter
or leaves the coming winter, to prevent
the frequent thawing and freezing that
often occurs in March and April. Al-
though the iris is often grown with suc-
cess in dry situations, it is well known
that low, wet land is where they thrive
best. Our native species are found grow-
ing in low, marshy meadows. I have in
mind a pasture that is covered with two
or three feet of water all winter and
frequently flooded in summer, yet last
June it was a wave of blue with the
pretty little iris, all of which goes to
prove that you cannot overwater them.
We read that the Japanese, in culitvating
the wonderful varieties of their iris, use
the strongest animal manure and flood
their gardens.

The soil conditions that suit the irises
are just the opposite to what the lilies re-
quire. A heavy soil is not at all suited
to the species you wish to grow. The
Foil should be light, either sandy or grav-
elly, and the drainage perfect. Use no
manure unless it is thoroughly decayed,

but a heavy mulching of manure will be
of benefit in early spring. Many grand
borders of Lilium auratum are seen in
the temperate countries of Europe and
those seen in England are often grown in
peat, a soil that seems to suit them
grandly.

L. auratum and the varieties of L.
speciosum rubrum and album are hardy
here, at least as far north as Vermont.
If you could obtain the bulbs of these,
say in early October, you could plant them
then and if protected so that little, if
any, frost touched the bulbs, it might be
successful. But we don 't get the bulbs of
these lilies until December and sometimes
later. Therefore I would rather keep
them in cold storage, covered with dry
earth or sand, and plant out as soon as
the ground could be worked in spring.
We see beautiful flowers of album and
rubrum in the gardens of our villagers
that we believe receive no more care
than the ' ' piny ' ' root, yet a good winter
covering to keep out hard freezing is a
great essential.

Some annuals that are not of too
strong growth might be scattered among
the lilies, but don't overdo it. Portulaca
would be pretty and there are others.

COKE VS. PEA COAU

A correspondent writes that he * * w6uld
like to open a discussion as to the rela-
tive merits of coke and anthracite "f^
coal as a fuel, particularly in hot water
plants. Is coke at $3 per ton cheaper
than anthracite pea coal at $4 per tonf
The question of additional attention and
night fireman would perhaps come into
this, but we would take it for granted
there would have to be a ni^ht fireman
in any case, so that question can, I
think, be eliminated."

Before entirely eliminating the ques-
tion of a night fireman, let me say that
there are any number of small places
heated, perhaps, wi^h one or two cast iron
heaters. I call them heaters, because
they don't boil. If properly set, with
good circulation and sufficient pipe, the
fuel for them is the best hard coal, egg
or grate size. The place is too small to
employ a night fireman and the boss fires
himself and if, adequately heated, he can
fire up, at 11 p. m. and find his houses
all right at 6 a. m. That he can't do
with pea coal or coke.

Now to the specific question, coke
versus pea coal. It is impossible to give
an opinion on this unless you state what
kind of a boiler you are using. If it is
a cast iron pot, which nearly all these
greenhouse heateis are, whether they are
sectional or not, then I think that pea
coal is most unsatisfactory for use in
them. It soon deadens over, quickly
clinkers, needs continual renewing, if
only a shovel full, and would not be
nearly as cheap as furnace coke at the
prices quoted. Hard or furnace coke, such
as Connellsville, is the most satisfactory

neath such an object to feed upon its
lower surface, but naturally this method
requires quite a little time fn the part
of the trapper in order to catch and de-
stroy the insects.

A less troublesome method would be
to secure a few common toads and place
them in the greenhouse, these homely an-
imals having a wonderful appetite lor
80W bugs, ants and mary other insects,

tion. W. H. Taplin.

and cheapest fuel you can use in these
cast iron heaters.

Particularly is this the case if you are
not over-supplied with pipes and in cold
weather you have to make the heater do
all it can, that is, keep it at full blast
all night. I would say under these condi-
tions, which too often prevail, that pea
coal in a cast iron heater would be fifty
per cent more expensive than furnace
coke at the prices quoted.

The writer has had occasion during the

last thirty-six years in this, country to
use most every kind of available fuel
from Lehigh lump . to cord wood, hard
coal, Loyal Sock coal,. soft coal, ^rd coke
and gas-house coke. Now, if you put in
a steel tubular boiler or a tubular boiler
with cast iron tubes, which is fibout the
same, there is no fuel so effective and
cheap as good Pennslyvania i^oft coal.
I am speaking now of using these boilers
for circulating hot water, but if for
making steam it is all the same, for what
will make water hot will also make it
boil.

Soft coal necessitates cleaning of the
flues frequently and in some surround-
ings your neignbors kick, but otherwise
soft coal is the fuel for a tubular boiler.
Pea coal is used by some large eastern
firms in these boilers and with, irequent
attention it does very well, but it can-
not give as good results as soft, coal. The
flame traveling^ beneath the length of the
boiler and back through the tubes is
where soft coal has the advantage. I
never noticed that coke did any harm to
a cast iron boiler, but it is very injurious
to a wrought iron boiler. We have wan-
dered a little from the subject, which is
unavoidable. It 's a big one but most in-
teresting, and no one can give a definite
answer unless he knew how big your
place is and what style of heater you have
installed. W. S.

[We should be glad to hear from others
with their experience as to what is the
most economical fuel. — Ed.]

DEATH OF GROVE P. RAWSON.

Grove P. Eawson, of Elmira, N. Y.,
died at Binghamton September 8, whence
he had gone to superintend a wedding
decoration. He had not been feeling
well for several weeks. He was seateJ
watching the work of his assistants when
he collapsed and was removed to the
hospital, where he died about three hours
later without regaining consciousness. The
cause of death was cerebral apoplexy.

Grove P. Rawson was born in Al-
mond, Allegany county, N. Y., April 22,
1854. As a boy he displayed a marked
interest in all objects botanical and not
only did he love things that grow from
mother earth, but he was respectful to-
ward all that was God given. He was
an apt student of horticulture and one
of the best pupils of the celebrated James
Vick, of Rochester. He had not in
years attained his majority, when, in
1874, he came as landscape architect of
Eldridge park, in Elmira, now one of
the best known and most popular in the
state. Two years later Mr. Rawson en-
tered business in his own behalf and for
twenty-eight years he was one of the fore-
most growers of plants and cut fiowers
in the state. As a decorator he was ex-
celled by few. For more than a quarter
of a century he has had a greenhouse and
office at No. 107 West Market street.
Years ago the business outgrew the ca-
pacity there and property was purchased
on Winsor avenue. There two acres are
under glass. He had that happy faculty
of getting along with men few possess.
His orders were not as commands in the
ears of his subordinates. They seepied
always eager to please him, appreciating
his many kindnesses toward them and
Friday n\orning a group of employes
stood just outside the big greenhouse
talking almost in whispers, although the
body was still miles away.

Mr. Rawson was, up to the last few
years, an active participant in the af-

some time a widely read contributor to
the horticultural press. He had never

QUINLAN^S NEW PLANT.

The accompanying illustrations are re-
productions of photographs taken at P.
E. Quinlan & Co. 's carnation houses at
Onondaga Valley. August 26. The houses
contain 15,000 plants. For many years
past Mr. Quinlan leaned mostly to roses,
the best houses on the old place in the
city being devoted to them. Upon the
carnation becoming such a popular rival
of the rose, he perceived its importance
and accordingly laid his plans to give it
the best possible environments. The site
at Onondaga Valley, comprising nineteen
acres, was selected because of its natural
resources, variety of good soils, water
and beautiful perspective. The construc-
tion is that of the King Construction Co.,
the same as is employed by the famous
Dale estate at Brampton, Ont.

Indoor culture all the while and plant-
ing early from the field has been prac-
ticed, with results today in favor of the
field crop, although it is rather soon to
make a positive statement as to the merits
of either system, the present season being
the most congenial in years for outdoor
carnations. Where thrifty stock was
planted out they developed into planting
shape very early and were all housed on
this place before August 1.

July planting, to say the least, has
many advantages with the grower whose
business demands ilowers on good stems
early in the season. In such roomy, airy
houses no shading was required, wilting
after planting oeing hardly perceptible,
perhaps owing to selecting the cuttings

from the sand bed after rooting and
again before planting out discarding all
with any sign of bacteria or fungus.
Stem-rot has given no trouble. Thirty-
five varieties are ^rown, practically all
the new kinds being represented. . In
these Lady Bountiful is very promising.
For bulk in white, Queen, Boston Market
and Wolcott are grown; pink, Lawson,
Joost, Cressbrook and Marquis; for sal-
mon, Enchantress, Fair Maid; for red,
Estelle, Crane and Manley are grown.

Vegetable Forcing.

POLLINATING TOJ{>lATOES,

I read with interest the note in the
Eeview of August 25 regarding the sav-
ing of pollen from outdoor tomatoes as
spoken of by Mr. O'Mara in the discus-
sion on pollination at the St. Louis con-
vention of the S. Aj F. I think the plan
is a good one, and where carried out
should be of great assistance in over-
coming the difficulty which is often met
with in setting the first indoor crop. It
does not take long to gather a few
bunches of flowers and put them away
in paper bags so that if needed the pol-
len will be at hand. I know from expe-
rience that the pollen will keep in good
condition for six or eight weeks if kept
perfectly dry and not subjected to ex-
treme temperatures. It is not always
necessary to use the pollen thus gath-
ered, as under favorable conditions
enough can often be procured from the
plants themselves. I find that it is not
so much from the lack of pollen in the
flowers that the trouble arises, but that

the pollen is often left bound up in the
anthers of the flowers for lack of sun-
shine which is necessary to burst the
cellular tissues and set the pollen free.
Hence, during the prevalence of dull
weather, of which we are very liable to
have spells during the shortening early
winter days, when pollination of the first
indoor crop is necessary, it is often a
hard matter to procure enough pollen to
accomplish the fertilization of the flow-
ers, and the having of a reserve in hand
insures against disappointment and
leaves one independent of the vicissi-
tudes of the weather.

As far as the fruit itself is concerned,
it is of little matter from what variety
the pollen is procured, but these fruits
should not be selected for seed purposes
unless for the puriM)se of experiment,
and then it would be necessary to make
sure of the variety from which the pol-
len was procured. But where it is de-
sired to save any variety, to keep the
strain straight, it is necessary to use
only the pollen produced by that variety.
It is hardly necessary, however, to save
seeds from the indoor fruit. I make a
custom of growing a few plants of the
varieties used for forcing outdoors, and
save my seeds from them. I consider
that, being grown under more natural
conditions, the seeds mature better and
germinate stronger than the indoor arti-
cle. Besides, most of the varieties used
for forcing are profitable to grow out-
doors. Sterling Castle is a first-class
tomato for early outdoor work, and Lo-
rillard and Best of All are both good
croppers. Of course to keep the strain
true it is necessary to keep the varieties
apart so that they wont be mixed up
by insects carrying the pollen from one
to another. W. S. Croydon.

' THE BENTHEY ASTEIL

The accompanying illustrations show
Benthey's White aster, of which much
has been heard of late. The field con-
tains upwards of two and one-half
acres, some 40,000 plants, grown by
Gteorge Ball, Chicago, whose green-
houses, the old Harms Park place, ap-
pear in the background. These are
grown for cut flowers and the blooms
have sold as high as $4 per 100 in the
Chicago market, readily bringing $J to
$2 at time^ when other varieties grown
by Mr. Ball were hardly worth ship-
ping to market. The vase shows a
couple of dozen blooms on stems nearly
three feet long and averaging four
inches in diameter of flower. At the
Benthey-Coatsworth Co. 's place at New
Castle, Ind., they have a field of over
two acres growing for seed. The va-
riety also comes in pink. . It was at
first called Benthey's Perfection, but
as the latter word is a part of the name
of other asters it was dropped and the
name is simply Benthey's White and
Benthey's Pink.

BOSTON.

The Market.

Conditions remain much the same as a
week ago, the market continuing to clean
up nicely. One or two dull days at the
end of the past week shortened up sup-
plies a little. Boses, where no fires are
yet used, are showing mildew, due to
cold nights. Beauties continue in goo'l
supply at from $5 to $20 per 100. Car-
nots and Kaiserins are good, but Brides

ing higher. Some very good asters are
coming in. White ones sell readily at
$1 to $1.50 per 100, colored varieties go-
ing a little lower. Gladioli, speciosum lil-
ies, tuberoses, dahlias and 'other stock
continue in fair supply. Adiantum and
Asparagus plumosus and Sprengeri are
not in much demand.

Various Notes.

A recent call at the Blue Hill Nurser-
ies, in Braintree, found the proprietor,
Julius Heurlin, busy making heavy ship-
ments of iris, phlox and other perennials
to Pennsylvania. The big blocks of
herbaceous perennials were in fine order,
one of the finest beds being of the* hand-
some Tritoma Pfitzeri, a plant which is
coming into favor with Boston florists.
The collection of trees and shrubs, both
deciduous and evergreen, is being con-
stantly added to. An adjoining field has
just been purchased to be planted with
choice evergreens. The whole nursery
was, as usual, scrupulously clean. Mr.
Heurlin reported fall sales to be the best
on record.

A delegation from the Boston Garden-
ers' and Florists' Club visited Nahant
on September 8 as guests of Thomas Eo-
land. The party left Union Wharf per
steamer at 9:30 a. m. Although the day
was beautifully clear and warm, with a
shade temperature up in the eighties, one
half of the party went prepared for even-
tualities and carried fall overcoats. An
hour's sail down Boston harbor, with its
charming scenery, brought the tourists to
Nahant, where they were cordially wel-
comed by Mr. Boland. After an inspec-

average price, some fancy blooms be- .

tion of his well-kept greenhouses, which
were filled to repletion with choice stock,
luncheon was served, following which a
tour of the picturesque island was made.
Several fine estates were inspected and
the party basked on the rocks near Sena-

tor Lodge 's summer home for an hour or
tw(o. The beautiful views from this
"Btern and rock bound coast" over the
broad and placid Atlantic, dotted with
all manner of craft, was thoroughly en-
joyed by everyone. Boston was reached
on the return voyage about 5 o 'clock and
an hour later, while the members were
eating their suppers, Jupiter Pluvius,
after a vacation of three weeks, broke
the drought from which we had been suf-
fering. Mr. Eoland's kindness in invit-
ing the party was much appreciated and
the visit to Nahant will remain a very
pleasant memory.

The new Music Hall market is evi-
dently going to be quite a factor in Bos-
ton's cut flower business. At last re-
ports 130 stalls had been rented and more
were likely to be sold, as the full capac-
ity of the present flower place is 170
stalls, which, however, can be doubled
in the future if occasion requires. The
directors can certainly congratulate them-
selves on their auspicious outlook.

The decision of the Columbus avenue
market directors to go back to the old
Park street stand October 1 is undoubt-
edly a wise move. The location, while
rather cramped, is easy of access for
teams and, while the light is somewhat
defective, it has in this respect an ad-
vantage over the Music Hall market. We
understand the management has rented
the present market on advantageous
terms. It is to be hoped that to avoid
confusion some shorter name be given
the rival concerns. Park Street Market
and Music Hall Market would be prefer-
able to Boston Co-operative Flower Grow-
ers'Association and Boston Co-operative
Flower Market.

The Boston Gardeners' and Florists'
Club will resume the monthly meetings
on September 20. Some of the members
are to give vacation experiences. An in-
teresting array of lecturers is. being se-
lected for the coming winter and now is
an opportune time to join this progres-
sive club.

J. W. Duncan is spending a few days
in New London, Conn.

Thomas Knight, representing Julius
Roehrs, has been canvassing Boston au'l
vicinity the past week and reports a good
call for his firm's specialties.

Numerous entries are being received
for the flower show opening on Septem-
ber 22. It promises to be one of the
best on record.

Members of the Boston Mycological
Club continue to make interesting dis-
plays of fungi each week at Horticul-
tural Hall.

Bunches of that finest of all bouvar-
dias, Humboldtii corymbifiora, were
noted in one of the stores the past week.
Strange that more florists do not grow it.

The annual rental of stalls in each of
the flower markets is $25. Prices real-
ized at auction are additional premiums.

G>-operation.

The Review is in receipt of an " open
letter" on the two co-operative markets
in Boston, a lengthy document bearing
typewritten signatures and couched in
such intemperate language that we can-
not publish it. The Review has nothing
but the best of wishes for the success
of the new market and nothing but the
best of wishes for the continued pros-
perity of the old, for in each there are
many estimable gentlemen; we certainly
would not do injustice to either. — ^Ed.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market

The market shows signs of awaken-
ing. The retailers are doing a little busi-
pess now and then. Their stores are
ready, their windows bright, their assis-
tants back. The wholesalers have the se-
rious proposition of a rapidly, increasing
stock to handle, an increase that mater-
ially exceeds the demand. Dahlias have
been selling very poorly. The season for
the best varieties is about to open and
with their appearance an improvement
is expected in all sorts. ,

The increase in the: proportion of
poorer asters gives no^ce that their
season has passed its height. The best
still sell quickly at good prices. Cosmos
is fine in solid colors and can be had in
quantity. Roses are very plentiful. Car-
nations are improving in quality. Quite a
lot of nic« blooms are coming into town.
Good gladioli sell, but poor ones never.
The supply of tuberoses does not exceed
the demand.

The Centtiry's Window.

Frank Gaul, manager of the Century
Flower Shop, has arranged a window that
is attracting attention this week. It
represents a Japanese garden, with min-
iature beds and paths laid out in ap-
proved Japanese style. The center was
chiefly made of Cyrtomium falcatum
while Adiantum Farleyense graced many
of the smaller beds. A finy fountain,
petrified rock and Japanese figures clev-
erly arranged gave reality to the scene.

The Palm Industry.

Charles D, Ball has experienced an
active demand for palms during August
and the first half of September, as the
conditions in his houses at Holmesburg
prove. Many plants have been spread for
better development and several entire
benches have been refilled with a second
batch of palms shifted for late sales.

Kentia Belmoreana in all sizes, from
the large spacimens to the fernery cen-
ter-piece in a 3-inch pot have increased
enormously in numbers. The made-up
plants of this variety are very prominent
in sizes from 6-inch upward. Some are
made up in the now popular way with

a large plant in the center surrounded
by several smaller ones, but generally
Mr. Ball favors early making up with
plants of equal size and strength, believ-
ing that in this way a better effect is
produced. House after house of this va-
riety were seen in excellent condition, the
center bench in each being filled with me-
dium and large plants, the side benches
with stuff for ferneries or for growing
on through the winter.

Kentia Forsteriana and Areca lutes-
cens are grown in good form. A center
bench of Latania Borbonica in eights,
now partly emptied, was a fine sight, the
plants being very symmetrical. Another
house of the same palm in sixes was just
coming into shape. .

Boston ferns, Pandanus Veitchii and
Cocos Weddeliana. finished the assort-
ment, if I remember Jtright. A new
house 13x120 feet, brick foundatioiMy
single span, was built this season -for
summer use. It has done so well that
Mr, Ball expects to pipe it for use this
winter.

Torre^dale.

Yes, the conductor knew where Eiaen-
hart's was, stopping opposite. The pas-
senger was halted by a scorching wheel-
man only to narrowly escape a flying
automobile and finally landed in a well-
kept place with a large house fronting
on the pike (familiar word) snrroundad
by a green lawn with enough flowers in
beds to give a touch of color.

Alas, there was no sign of R. M. Eisen-
hart in the greenhouses beyond. That
he was up and doing the neat rows of
carnations, violets and corn abundantly
proved. One carnation house was planted
with prime stock and a range of four
others, mud shaded and soil filled, will
probably be planted before these lines
see light. May they all prosper.

The Germantown Society.

The September meeting of the German-
town Horticultural Society was a ban-
ner event owing to the efforts of Albert
Woltemate and C. S. Wertsner, exhibits
and attendance being unusually large.
Henry A. Dreer Co. sent a good collection
of hardy perennial blooms. The other
exhibitors were all from Germantown.
Most nobly did they acquit themselves.

Some idea may be gathered from the fact
that there were fifteen exhibitors of
pears alone. Edward Neville presided.

Various Notes.

C. F. Edgar & Co. have a new wagon
on the street this week. They have im-
proved their office facilities and are pre-
paring for an active season.

Leo Niessen is receiving fine Beauties
in quantity.

Charles P. Poryzees, who delayed open-
ing his new Fifteenth street store until
this week, will carry on both' his old
and new stores.

M. Rice St Co. have added the third,
fourth and fifth floors and expect to add
the second floor of the building east of
their present store. The new floors have
been extensively improved.

D. T. Conner has just put in a new
Lord & Bumham boiler for Robert Craw-
ford, Jr.

Fred J. Mich^ll states that the Dutch
bulbs just received by his firm are the
best in many years. Tulips, hyacinths and
narcissi are all very fine.

J. D. Eisele, vice-president of the H.
A. Dreer Co., is in Europe.

John Burton is sending out a neat
blotter suggesting the advantage of buy-
ing direct from the growers at the
Flower Market.

Julius Koehler & Son have very at-
tractive show windows in their store at
Main and Bridge streets, Frankford.

Fred Ehret is pleased by the return
of a consignor who, after shipping to
him for fourteen years, tried a year
elcMwhere and has now come back to him
again.

A humorist at Henry F. Michell Co.
said that had Phil handled those 400
cases of bulbs he could have written a
story about it. They were heavy, those
cases.

William J. Baker is responsible for
the bright saying that "a niian doesn't
go to a store to talk about his family
or private affairs; he will go to a resi-
dence for that. ' '

C. F. Edgar & Co. are preparing to
push their new cornucopia flower holders.

Charles E. Mteehan states that busi-
ness at the Flower MSarket is steadily
improving since the move to the pres-
ent central quarters. Phil.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market

Trade in general was not active the
past week, slow in everything except
funeral work. Some were very busy
with large designs. Labor day did not
bring much, nor did the opening of the
public schools. Transient trade has be-
gun with the down-town retailers and
the general revival of business is looked
for soon. Stock seems to be improving
every day, especially during the few cool
days, but most of the retailers are very
conservative regarding their purchases.

Roses are very plentiful, though a cer-
tain proportion at short-stemnied stock
is in the market. It is usually very
good in flower. Prices on choice Brides,
Maids, Meteors and Perles are from $4
to $5 per 100. Short stock is sold very
cheap, in 1,000 lots as low as $8. First-
class carnations are still short in supply,
although plenty of field-grown stock is
in the market. Short-stemmed stock
with good flowers and long-stemmed stock
with poor flowers are hard to dispose
of. All they, bring is about .$1 per 100.
A few of the best bring $1.50 to $2.
Good valley is hard to sell in this mar-
ket just now. AiSters are still abun-
dant and good stock can be bought for
$1 per 100. Extra large whice and pur-
ple bring $2.

Thousands of. gladioli are being
brought over from Sie Cowee farm near
Belleville and sold to the west end hotels
cheaper than the retail florists can buy
tLem. The flowers are being used for
table decorations. This is not much to
the liking of the west end florists, who
claim it hurts their trade. To some ex-
tent the flowers bring 3 cents a stalk
at wholesale houses. Tuberose stalks are
very plentiful at 2 cents. Clematis pani-
culata sells well for funeral work. Some
cosmos is in but not in sufficient quantity
to go around. In the line of greens,
adiantum has some demand.

Qub Meeting.

September 8 the club held its first
meeting since the convention, also the
most enthusiastic held this year. When
the president called for order thirty mem-
bers were present. All committee re-
ports impressed the members favorably,
especially that of C. A. Kuehn, who was
superintendent of the trade display dur-
ing the convention. Two new applica-
tions for membership were made, by W.
A. Chalfant, of Springfield, Mo., and
Andrew Olsen, of St. Louis. This makes
the necessary two to make up 100 mem-
bers, which was promised before the new
president was installed.

The installation of the new officers
took place. Messrs. Ammann and Weber
were the installing officers. With a few
well chosen rfemarks, Mr. Juengel took
the chair. Then Vice-President Pilcher,
Secretary Schray, Treasurer Meinhardt
and the trustees, Messrs. Weber, Miller
and Guy, were duly installed.

The question of a flower show at the
World's Fair in the Horticulture build-
ing was turned down and the club will
not have anything to do with the proposi-
tion. There was quite a lively tilt over
some questions from the box, after which
the meeting adjourned.

Mr. Juengel notified the members that
a supper was awaiting them at the
Michalob restaurant, at which nearly all
the members sat down to a flue spread.

After supper speeches were made by J.
F. Ammann, Theo. Miller, 13. W. Guy,
C. A. Juengel and ex-President Beneke.
The next meeting will be held Thursday
afteriioon, October 13.

Various Notes.

H. J. Venn, of 'Canton, 111., called last
week, as did James Colbert, of Bossville,
lU.

Charlie Ford, of Philadelphia, got in
Saturday to take in the fair, not having
had time during the convention.

Mr. and Mrs. Phil Hauswirth, of Chi-
cago, spent Friday and Saturday in St.
Louis on their way to St. Joseph to at-
tend the Ked Men's convention.

J. F. Windt reports trade very good
since he completed his new show house,
which is very attractive.

H. Weber & Sons, at Gardenville, Mo.,
report a large amount of orders to fill
for fall delivery in nursery stock.

A. Jablonsky, at Wellston, has almost
completed his new range of houses, which
will be used for growing carnations for
the trade.

•John Steidle in the same neighborhood
is also in good shape for the coming
season, with fine carnation plants. His
violets, too, are looking fine.

J. W. Dunford, also a close neighbor
to the above two, is making great prep-
arations for the winter season. The car-
nations and violets grown here are much
looked after by the local trade.

Bowling.
The bowling for the silver water
pitcher is becoming very interesting.
Eddie Gerlach now leads, with Frank
Ellis second and Ellison third. The fol-
lowing scores were made Monday night:

Credit to AH.
Much praise has been bestowed on the
management of Forest park from vari-
ous sources on account of vast improve-
ments in the condition of the park this
year. While it is an undeniable fact
that each and every man connected with
the park has done his best to beautify the
same, credit should be placed where it
belongs. Robert Aull is park commis-
sioner. Andrew Meyer, Jr., general su-
perintendent of public parks, is the
guiding spirit. John Ratchford as keep-
er, George Ostertag as overseer, and
John Moritz, as general gardener, are in-
trusted with the fulfillment of all park
duties. George Ostestao.

NOETH Adams, Mass. — A. H. Darling
is planning the erection of an additional

four greenhouses, 17x72, one 10x78, of-
fice, etc., on Sixty-ninth street, near

* . r^' ^ QatfexA Comment. ^

There is . n0 w-eat event w«^hy of
special mention. No prominent member
of society of late has "kicked the buck-
et" but lots of good souls have" "shuf-
fled off this mortal coil," which has
helped along general business. I believe
the man who first said * ' mortal coil ' ' was
William of Avon. What faith, what mar-
velous philosophy, for the age (the
fifteenth century) in which he lived.
Skeptics and free thinkers believe that
this avoirdupois is all there is of life,
but Shakespeare believed that the corp-
oral body was a coil or medium for the
soul to rise upwards and bnwards. If
we all had the intellect of the immortal
bard we could not look up and admire
him so. Things are, as I have had be-
fore the pleasure to remark, just ex-
actly right and if they are not, who is
going to do itf

Mr. Jeffords, of Corfu, sold out his
three houses and one acre of land to Le
Roy Adams: ' Mr. Adams has been rent-
ing the greenhouses of Mrs. Tyrell and
was so successful that he was able to
buy out Mr. Jeffords. Mr. Jeffords
thinks of bu3dng ten acres in the neigh-
borhood of Medina, near Ontario's shore,
and erecting a small but model plant.

Mrs. L. Bantam Ostrich, of Richville,
Genesee county, the famous aster grower,
lost her favorite tame crow last week. She
regrets this exceedingly, as she believes
that Pompey (the crow) picked off a
good many bugs.

Mr. Ficuslarger Vodskii, lately from
Poland, has purchased two acres of land
on the eastern border of the city and
will erect several thousand feet of glass.
His specialties will be rubbers, but he
does not expect a brisk market for them
until sloppy weather begins.

Seriously, there is nothing very impor-
tant to say. Anderson has his much im-
proved store about finished and it's a
beauty.

The William Scott Co. embellished the
club house at the Kenilworth race track
for the fall meeting and in addition to
the moderate price charged, it inclilded
a daily pass. "You just ought to see
the six boys and the old man fuss over
that pass. For the land's sake won't
you ever get sense t Child, you ain't no
man 1 * ' — Mrs.* S.

Lewis H. Neubeck has a splendid lot
of Begonia Lorraine and Louie 's place is
always most attractive. He is on the
road, that is his place is, to the General
Hospital and as most everybody nowa-
days has to go to the hospital to have
his vermiform appendix cut out, and as
all you can send a patient newly out of
the anesthetics is flowers, why, Louis does
well. So large is his business in this
specialty that he has ready-made what
he calls his vermiform bouquet. It is in
the form of a pork sausage and of all
sizes to suit ages and any flavor you
choose.

At Toronto.

As usual with pleasure and gratitude
we journeyed to the beautiful city above
mentioned to pass our opinion on the
cut flowers and designs at Canada 's great
fair. How great will best be judged when
it is known that Monday, September 5,
there were 130,000 people in the
grounds. We were listening to the band
of the Forty-second Black Watch High-

The Weekly Florists' Review^

807

Janders, who for the past 150 years have
borne the brunt of Great Britain's bat-
tles, when a great, fine man with a little
^ray lady struck up a talk. She thought
it poor after the World's Fair and the
people looked so poor and common after
her city (Denver). An explanation that
this was an annual permanent fair did
some good, yet I don't suppose it was
lasting. 'Tis true, as Dibden wrote:

lo the west, to the west, to the land of the

free,
Where the mighty Missouri runs down to the

sea.
Where a man is a man if he's willing to toll.
And the humblest may gather the fruits of the
soil.

But they do get an awful swelled head
out west. If they can keep it up, all
right. But how about the granary of
the world, Manitoba. You don't hear
such a great shout and yet there is no-
where on this continent such marvelous
growth in wealth and . general develop-
ment as in the prairie provinces of the
Dominion of Canada.

If you want to see mother and father
pigs (they call them by the biblical name
of swine in Canada) sixteen feet long
and weighing 1,000 pounds, cross Lake
Ontario. If you want to see Leister
sheep as big as the ordinary cow, go to
Toronto, and if you want to see horses,
why, they beat us hollow. There is one
thing most admirable about the fair.
You can't get a thing on the grounds
■except orange lemonade, except you know
the treasurer or happen to meet Andy
Adams, who said he was justified because
Mrs. A. was subject to sinking spells,
like poor Sarah Gamp.

It's supposed that my notes will be
horticultural. Well, the exhibit of plants,
particularly foliage and ornamental,
was extremely good. It would be hard
to beat in any city five times its size.
The cut flower and design exhibit, over
which we had to think, was. no larger
than other years, although as you a] J
know there is John Dunlop and the Dale
Estate and Walter Muston, who ?an 't be
beat as growers of roses. The designs
for conception and execution were right
up-to-date. The only flower that surpass-
ed previous exhibits was the asters. A
vase of daybreak pink, of the branching
type with flowers five inches across and
stems at least four feet long was like
a vase of Maud Dean mums.

We are greatly indebted to the cor-
tesy of George Vair, the veteran and
easily the dean of all the horticulturists
of Toronto. He showed us places we had
Jieyer seen before and put up with our
idiosyncrasies. And then there is good
John Chambers, the park superintendent
•of Toronto. If you are lucky enough
to know John and are tired of orange
lemonade, you can walk up to his porch
and ask what the thermometer registers.
I had little opportunity to see more than
the Exhibition park. Queens park and
the Horticultural gardens and they all
looked in fine order. Like most of our
cities, the appropriation for parks and
public grounds is cut down to the lowest
living mark. Yet Mr. Chambers, I am
glad to say, as do most of our park su-
perintendents, makes the meagre appro-
priation go as far as possible. When
politics enter our park management it's
a calamity for the community.

Mr. Chambers saved my wife's life. A
Highlander struck up "The Campbells
are Coming" on the bag pipes. She
swooned, but a bunch of "Grissley Fron-
tenac" from the hand of J. C. restored
'.her to life and liberty.

I spent two hours with John Dunlop at
his model place, but there is so much to
say about that, that if you will allow me
it will be continued in our next. First
race is called at 2:30. W. S.

PITTSBURG CLUB MEETING.

The meeting of the Pittsburg and Al-
legheny Florists' and Gardeners' Club,
September 6, was addressed by Mr. Zim-
merman, of Dixmont, who attended the
S. A. F. convention at St. Louis and also
visited the parks and gardens there and
the World's Fair and noted things hor-
ticultural, for he had agreed on coming
back to tell us all about them.

At the convention Scott's fern pleased
him greatly and he declared that the
plants of the other exhibitors were as fine
a lot of marketable size stock as he ever
saw together. They all were clean and
healthy.

The great variety of plants at Shaw's
garden tickled his fancy and he wandered
through the arboretum and enjoyed the
collection of trees, because they were la-
beled. At Tower Grove park he was
charmed with the showing of victorias
and tropical water lilies in heated out-
door ponds and hardy lilies in cold wa-
ters. But he was disappointed in the
World 's Fair gardens. Those of the cas-
cades and the sunken g^ardens were all
right, but he found fault vd.th the coarse-
ness and unkemptness of many of the
others and it was quite amusing to see
him show us how the man in the clock-
house helped the machinery up the hill.

He was a little severe on some of the
displays. His own cannas at home looked
better than those at St. Louis and he
didn't see a bit of carpet bedding worth
looking at. But he was charmed with
Ageratum Stella Gurney; it was used ex-
tensively and everywhere it was a sheet
of bloom, whereas at home with himself
it was all growth and foliage and very
little bloom. Coleuses were brighter than
with us, because they were unpinched.
Altemantheras were very dead in color
and the vivid brilliantissima didn't seem
to be used at all. Plant lettering was
very poor. The African tamariz used as
a border plant, as we used to plant box-
wood, was a new wrinkle to him. But
when he talked about cleaning up the
place he sort of raised his arms and
clenched his fists and as he is a big man
he didn't look pleasant.

It was also gladiolus and China aster
night. The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co.
showed some magnificent red, white and
purple asters. I believe they were grown
in northwestern New York. Although
sometimes we can grow good asters about
Pittsburg, Munro county, New York, can
beat us all to pieces.

Of gladiolus we had a magnificent
showing. John Lewis Childs, of Floral
Pnrk. N. Y., sent about 750 spikes in
bunches of twenty-five of each kind and
printed labels with all of them. And he
had a real cute device for sticking the
labels on. It consisted of a sharp pin,
with a round head like a split ring; into
this ring you fix the label, then stick the
pin anywhere you please. Get a bunch of
cards and a box of pins and a pencil;
it's all you need. His flowers were su-
perb and included a great range of color,
from deep maroon, through scarlet, pink,
white and yellow.

Frank Banning, of Kinsman, 0., sent
a dozen sheaves of gigantic beauties
three to four feet long and withoot a
blemish on bloom or leaf. His Bab«n H.

Warder was the finest pink gladiolus in
the room and his "1900" one of the
most brilliant reds. Augusta, May and
our old love, Eugene Scribe, in his col-
lection were especially fine. And to keep
us in a good humor he sent a basketful
of selected golden sweet apples, picked
from trees in his gladiolus field. They
were dealt out to the members two at a
time.

Arthur Cowee, of Berlin, N. Y., sent
a great variety of very fine blossoms in
a very great range of color, including
several of the bluish hues that seem so
popular just now. What a vast array of
these flowers he must have, considering
the continuous show he maintains in St.
Louis. He gives some good points about
cut flowers: "Immediately upon arrival
cut oflF the ends of the stems and place
in water. Every day change the water
and cut off the ends of the stems, re-
moving the withered blooms at the same
time, pulling them off with "a downward
motion."

At the end of the meeting each mem-
ber was given half a dozen select spikes
to take home with him; the detective
agency next door got a bunch because we
used its telephone, the janitor got a
bunch to keep him in a good humor, for
we do make an awful mess of the place
sometimes, and all of the balance, nearly
a wagon load, was sent to the Mercy
hospital.

But that was not all. Next morning
the president had a telephone call from
the Cut Flower Co.: "Send a wagon to
our store for a consignment of glad-
iolus flowers from M. Crawford, Cuya-
hoga Falls, O." He sent in for them.
They were an assortment of splendid
spikes and gorgeous blossoms. Too bad
they were too late for our club meeting.

We had lots of nice things to say about
the firms who so generously contributed to
make our club meeting such a pro-
nounced success. And then our own Cut
Flower Co. is so good and accommodat-
ing. I don't know what we'd do with-
out them. But we are going to put Mr.
Langhans up for president of our club
next year. Pekx.

DOBBS FERRY, N. Y.

The regular meeting of the Dobbe
Ferry Horticultural Society was held
Saturday evening, September 10, Presi-
dent Dunbar in the chair. There was a
very fine display of zinneas staged by
Messrs. Dunbar, Kastberg^ Wilson, Brad-
ley, Keeling and Darcy. Mr. Dunbar was
awarded the highest number of points.
His blooms were exceptionally large. Mr.
Wilson also had a very fine display.
Stephen Bradley and Mr. Knifle were
the judges. The subject for the next
meeting will be dahlias. J. B.

Port Huron, Mich.— ^Every florist is
entitled to a hobby and Wm. As-
raan's is pigeons. At the Toronto fair
he took a medal and fifteen other
prizes.

Newport News, Va. — Frank Imbacb
is propagating Lauras tinus which is not
commonly seen in this neighborhood. He
thinks it will be naeful on the lawns and
in the cemeterj.

Danville, III.— H. D. Caldwell, gard-
ener at the Soldiers' Home, has had very
fine success with his bedding this year.
He bas five greenhouses. Much work will
be done on the grounds next spring.

The Market.

In looking about the stores and mar-
kets the past week one gets a few more
smiles and finds a much better state of
affairs. The cause is a decided improve-
ment in business, generally distribu^ted
among the stores and markets. How-
ever, there is no scarcity of stock, except
carnations, and reports from the whole-
salers is that even with the increase in
business the amount of stock coming in
is so great that there is almost as large
a glut as ever.

A New Store.

Geddis & Blind Bros, opened their new
south side store Saturday, which is
built on the site of the old one. They
are to be congratulated on having one
of the pr«ttiest and best appointed stores
in the city. All the furnishings are in
a very pretty shade of green and the
rear of the store opens directly into a
conservatory about 20x75, which • they
had nicely stocked with palms, ferns, and
Harrisii lilies in bloom. Instead of giv-
ing out cards or souvenirs of any kind,
they had several thousand small jardin-
ieres which held a well grown 3-inch
fern. They sold the plant and vase for
10 cents, only oae to each person. They,
no doubt, lost a few cents on each sale,
but still it was a lasting and good ad-
vertisement. Mr. Geddis says that
every house on the south side had one
or more on their Sunday dinner table.

Qub Meeting.

The Florists' Club met last Tuesday
evening and those who were not there
were the losers. The discussion was on
gladioli and asters. The out-of-town ex-
hibitors of gladioli were Frank Banning,
of Kinsman, O. ; John Lewis Childs,
Queens, N. Y., and Arthur Cowee, Ber-
lin, N. Y. These gentlemen exhibited
about seventy-five of their very best
varieties and caused a great deal of dis-
cussion as to which were the best. The
Pittsburg Cut Flower Co., was the only
exhibitor of asters. They had some of
the finest and largest ever seen here, as
well as some of the smaller sorts. Some
of the boys wanted to know how they
grew them, but Mr. Falconer explained
that it was stock consigned to them, and
they did not know anything about grow-
in? flowers.

Mr. Zimmerman, of Dixmont, had been
to St, Louis and our president, who had

been there himself, requested Mr. Zim-
merman to tell us about aj^^ he saw.
The question' was so large it almost
scared him, but being gently led by
Mr. Falconer, in his own inimitable way,
he told us about the nice people and the
pleasant meeting of the S. A. F., the
horticultural and floricultural features of
the Fair, and the parks. After dispos-
ing of a large basket of apples furnished
by Frank Banning, a motion was made
to have the secretary send letters of
thanks to the exhibitors and to make
special mention of the apples. "When
the boys went home they expressed them-
selves in a hearty manner that it was
an evening well spent.

Various Notes.

Mr. McClements, of Eandolph & Mc-
Clements, met vnth a painful accident
last week, by falling in his barn, re-
sulting in a sprained wrist and a bad-
ly bruised face.

Gustav Ludwig is back at his place of
business after being confined to his home
for some time with hay fever.

Jim Higgins is back with Mrs. E. A.
Williams.

Visitors: S. S. Skidelsky, Philadel-
phia, who reports business good and a
big demand for the new carnation, Fred

The Market.

Business is undeniably better than it
lias been for some time but still it is not
what it ought to be. The demand is not
what it was a year ago, and it must be
remembered that at that time there was
no particular scramble on the part of the
buyers. However, a very slight increase
has served to give a better tone to the
market. Beauties are still easy and Maids
do not show much change, but Brides are
stiffer than last week. There are ade-
quate receipts were quality not to be con-
sidered, but the supply which is good
enough to ship is decidedly limited,
though increasing. Chatenay is abun-
dant but it is not a warm weather rose,
for it quickly opens wide. A few La
France are seen, also a few La Detroit.
These are not yet large enough in stem
to be notable but the best sell up to 8
cents. Liberty in short lengths is very
abundant but sells fairly well at low
prices.

Beceipts of carnations are on the in-
crease but the market has stiffened con-
siderably within the past week. Asters
are on the wane ; there are still plenty of
them but they are mostly white and there
is room to move around in the wholesale
houses. Gladioli are not so abundant as a
week ago and auratum lilies are scarce.
A few good longiflorums are seen. Sweet
peas are about done. Valley is faring a
little better and so is smilax. There is no
shortage in any "green goods."

Club Meeting.

In the absence of the president and
vice-president, James Hartshorne pre-
sided at the first regular club meeting at
Handel Hall September 8. The order of
the evening was general discussion.

John C. Ure brought up the subject of
Impatiens Sultani for winter blooming.
H. N. Bruns said he grew it ten years
ago, but dropped it. Mr. Ure said few
have it, yet it is a good seller and he is
propagating all he can. He has it in all
sizes up to 8-inch and 10-inch pots and
finds customers vrill give $2 for good
plants. The George Wittbold Co. bought
800 plants of him. He propagates from
cuttings, which root readily. It is a
good grower.

It was the consensus of opinion that
the season is going to be a good one,
better than last, and that next spring
will see another big increase in the bed-
ding plant business.

It was stated that the ninth floor of
the Auditorium has been engaged for
the flower show the week following the
national election. The carnation show
will be held in the same hall the last
Wednesday and Thursday in January,

Mr. Hauswirth reported on the S, A,
F. convention, taking occasion to say a
word for the bowlers. He pointed out
that, although a critic has said few of
the bowlers are "best at anything of
much value to the society," the fact is
that of the fifteen living ex-presidents,
of whom ten were present in St. Louis,
four were active participants in the
bowling and most of the others were
present.

W. L. Palinsky called attention to the
fact that, while New York and other
clubs had badges, the Chicago delegation
had no distinguishing feature other than
its size, which was thereby less appar-
ent. It was the unanimous opinion that
the club should have an official badge,
which could be either furnished or sold
to members, and a motion prevailed that
the chairman appoint a committee of

to be submitted to the club for its adop-
tion. The chairman appointed W. N.
Budd, J. C. Vaughan and L. CoatErworth.
The next meeting will be September 22
when nominations for officers will come
up. The election occurs October 27.

A New Firm,

During the week A. L. Vaughan and
Fred Sperry have concluded arrange-
ments for opening a general wholesale
cut flower and florists' supply business
in the Exchange, 58 and 60 Wabash ave-
nue. They plan to carry as full a line of
cut flowers as may be had and to put in
a stock of florists' supplies which they
hope to develop to one of the largest and
most complete in the country. They also
expect to do considerable business in
bulbs. The firm name will be Vaughan &
Sperry. Neither gentleman is a stranger
to the trade, Mr. Vaughan having trav-
eled with supplies and bulbs for more
than sixteen years. He was a member of
the old firm of Vaughan, McKellar &
Winterson. Mr. Sperry was with Mr.
McKellar years ago but has been in Flor-
ida recently for his health, which is now
of the best.

Various Notes.

D. F. Simonds was eating a sandwich
in a refreshment establishment at Ogden
avenue and Congress street September 7,
when four masked men held up the place.
Mr. Simonds, who does business as the
Ogden Floral Co., 848 West Harrison,
lost $32 and a watch.

Sam Pieser is out after an illness of
six weeks, during which he underwent a
very successful operation for appendicitis
at Wesley hospital. Mrs. G. H. Pieser
is at the same institution, convalescing
from a three weeks' illness with typhoid.
E. E. Pieser is expected home in a few-
days from Manitoba, where he has been
six weeks, daring which time he buried
Mrs. Pieser 's father, who was well along
in the eighties.

Bassett & Washburn received 12,000
Japanese longiflorum bulbs on Tuesday.
These were shipped direct from Japan by
Henry & Lee.

C. W. McKellar is handling Dendro-
brium formosum. Few cattleyas are
available.

C. M. Dickinson is home from Mt,
Clemens and attending to business once

more, after seven weeks' illness. He is
feeling nearly as well as ever.

Miss Nellie C. Moore has returned to
her place at the Exchange after a few
weeks' vacation.

Albert Fuchs shipped Bome big sago
palms to the St. Louis exposition yester-
day. They are the same plants he ex-
hibited at the Buffalo and Chicago expo-
sitions.

A. L. Bandall Co. gets Clematis pani-
culata, which would be thought to be a
good seller, but it isn't, not even at a
quarter a bunch.

Peter Eeinberg is a member of the al-
dermanic committee to arrange for the
Chicago Day celebration at the St. Louis
exposition October 8, the anniversary of
the great fire.

O. J. Friedman has a good-sized and
well equipped store at Thirty-fifth street
and Michigan avenue. He is now build-
ing a small conservatory in the rear.

Lubliner & Trinz, who have the store
on Randolph street above Kennicott's,
have opened another store on Jackson
boulevard near Dearborn street.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

The market is beginning to "sit up
and take notice." The last of the week
found a thorough cleaning up of ice
boxes and supplies at some price, which
is looked upon as a godsend after the
weeks of over-abundance. In the ex-
perience of the wholesale trade no such
summer has ever been experienced. At
times the wholesalers have been practi-
cally helpless, but the merchants and the
market have wonderful recuperative
powers and in a month the long night-
mare will be forgotten.

The Jewish holiday was the cleansing
event of last week. With the opening of
the schools, the frosty air, the coming
again of the sidevmlk merchants, and the
theatre openings and the advent of vio-
lets and chrysanthemums, the fall activ-
ity will begin. Both wholesalers and re-
tailers are ready for a strenuous season.

The Jewish holidays will continue until
next Monday. Nearly a milKon Jews
call New York City their home. They
use many flowers but there will be
enough to go around. In fact, there are
enough asters and gladioli here to keep
the million happy daily.

It is too early for violets, though a
few have arrived, occasionally good in
quality, but generally small, colorless and
undesirable. There is a time for every-
thing, but it isn't time for violets nor
mums. "Every dog has his day" and
so has every variety of flower. The
dahlia will rule king from now until
frost dethrones it. G-rand quality and
variety characterizes moat of the ship-
ments reaching the New York market.

The orchid demand increases and out-
side cities are developing a metropolitan
appreciation. A large shipment of grand
Cattleya gigas was made to a prominent
Buffalo house on Thursday. The demand
for water lilies has vanished. Fine va-
rieties for a long time realizing $5 per
100 could not be moved on Saturday.

Club Meeting.

The first meeting of the New York
Florists' Club for the season was held
Monday evening, about fifty members
being present and a most eothusiaBtic
session enjoyed, while the exhibit of flow-
ers was one of rare extent and excellence.
President Traendly was in the chair.

The outing committee reported a bal-
ance on the right side of the ledger. Mr.
Sheridan read the resolutions on the
death of Frank Traendly, Jr., only son
of the president, to which Mr. Traendly
feelingly responded. Treasurer Weath-
ered read his report, showing a balance
of over $1,200. Henry Beimels, of Wood-
haven, was elected a member. The nomi-
nating committee appointed by the presi-
dent is Messrs. Burns, Sheridan, O 'Mara,
Hafner, Nugent, Miller and Bunyard.
The committee of awards, through Chair-
man O'Mara, spoke in eloquent terms of
the splendid exhibition of the evening,
expressing the gratitude of the club an.l
appreciation of the enterprise of F. E.
Pierson Co., H. A. Dreer, Clucas & Bod-
dington Co., A. L. Miller, Pankok &
Schumacher and H. Beaulieu.

The F. B. Pierson Co. had a very large
exhibit of phloxes, cannas and dahlias, a
whole flower show in itself. A. L. Miller
showed dahlias Grandview, Kaiserin
Augusta Victoria and Camaeliflora. H.
A. Dreer showed twenty-two varieties of
hardy perennials. Clucas & Boddington
Oo. showed ninety varieties of daUias,
also phloxes and other hardy flowers. H.
Befeulieu staged about fifty varieties of
dahlias. Pankok So Schumacher showed

Countess of Lonsdale dahlia. At the
meeting of the club the second Monday
in October, the exhibits will consist of
cannas, dahlias and early chrysanthe-
mums. A cordial invitation is extended
to all growers to participate.

Considerable time was devoted to re-
views of the convention and the World's
Fair by those who were at St. Louis and
H. Beaulieu was instrumental in having
accorded every speaker a vote of thanks.
Among those who had interesting exper-
iences and observations to recount were
John Scott, Charles Lenker, Theo. Lang,
P. O'Mara, H. A. Bunyard, W. J. Stew-
art, Mr. Abram, of St. Louis, who made
the floral clock and was a visitor, and
others.

Announcement was made of the forma-
tion of the bowling club, fifteen mem-
bers having already given their names
and the first meeting being called at the
'old alleys, on Twenty-third street and
■jSixth avenue, the first Friday evening in
■ October.

The Sangerbund Show.

The sixteenth annual exhibition and
flower show of the Sangerbund ended
at Eidgewood park, Brooklyn, on San-
. day, after four days of large attend-
ance. • The exhibit of plants and flow-
ers gave opportunity to many prominent
local florists for display. John Scott
had a fine group of his new fern and re-
ceived special recognition. A $45 prize
for a palm group was won by John Mel-
sem, of Elmhurst, and $35 by Chas.
Koch, of Flatbush. Henry Bottjer ex-
hibited vegetables and E. Buckingham, of
Brooklyn, seeds and bulbs. Many carpet
beds for competition were planted, the
prizes going to John Dryer, John Bau-
mann and Emil Miller. For mixed gera-
niums F. Marquardt, of Middle Village,
won first honors; for cannas, A. L. Mil-
ler, of Brooklyn, and for cacti, F. Wein
berg, of Woodside. The salvia and helio-
trope prizes went to Mr. Marquardt. Mr.
Miller won the tuberous begonia award.
August Schrader lead all competitors for
foliage plants. H. Maenner, of Mas-
peth, was first for coleus.

The management of the show included
the well known Long Island florists,
Messrs. Koch, Miesem, Schrader, Bau-
mann, Maenner and Marquardt.

Various Notes.

J. E. Lager, of Summit, was in the
city Thursday. He announces the cutting
of the last of the Cattleya gigas and the
advent of C. labiata, of which he wiU

have an abundant supply. One branch of
C. gigas at McManus' was on exhibition
holding eight perfect flowers readily com-
manding 75 cents each. Lager & Hurrell
will exhibit as usual at all the great fall
shows.

Ford Bros, received their first ship-
ment of violets September 3, a box of
2,000 from Walter Pell, of Rhinebeck.

L. K. Peacock, of Atco, N. J., was in
the city last week and among other in-
teresting dahlia information told me that
his 102 acres this year will produce 1,-
300,000 roots, that he has over 1,000
named varieties and produces 50,000 to
100,000 seedlings every year, that out of
20,000 only one is considered worthy of
saving and that out of 100 excellent new
varieties so obtained, not over one is
named. All poor ones are destroyed im-
mediately after flowering.

Jos. Fenrich has added electric light to
his other facilities and is much pleased
with his progress as receiver of good
rose§ and an abundance of them.-^^:- : .;}

A. J, Guttman, of 52 W. Twenty-ninth
street, and Chas. Weber, of Lynbrook,
L. I., have bought the carnation known
as red seedling No. 3 from Jos. Sake-
wich, of New Hydp Park, L. I., and con-
trol the output. The controversy relative
to the original ownership of this seed-
ling has been satisfactorily adjusted.

W. H. Gunther reports after a trip
among his growers up the Hudson, that
several of the * ' violetists " around
Poughkeepsie and Highlands have thrown
out violets entirely and are growing car-
nations, that the violets remaining show
a better plant growth than for five years
past and that, while last year fifty-six
new violet houses were erected not one
has been built this season, ensuring a re-
duction of the over-supply and a more
uniform and satisfactory price for grow-
ers.

Chas. Millang has stocked his conser-
vatories again with the best the plant
market affords and I noticed a liberal
space devoted to the new fern, Scottii.

J, Van Kleef, of Boskoop, Holland, is
in the city with reference to his Ameri-
can agency and has arranged for its con-
tinuance with the C. H. Joosten estate
as usual.

Suzuki & lida have already distributed
their big importation of Chinese lilies
and have just received their first supply
of Japanese callas. The war to date has
not interfered with their business in any
way. Messrs. Suzuki and lida are both
in Japan at present.

Beed & Keller have been busy men

since the convention; never such a de-
mand for supplies in their career as this
fall. If their diagnosis of the pulse of
trade is correct, a great season may be
counted on.

The auctions from now on will be in
full blast and the ram's horn will sound
no more clarion echo than the voices of
the aggressive auctioneers. Elliott be-
gins to-day.

Martin Shonatus, gardener for Payne
Whitney, at Great Neck, L. I., reports
the loss of valuable and rare plants by
vandals last week, over $500 worth being
destroyed.

Michael Schultz, of Madison, N. J.,
died September 8, aged 73. He was the
father of the three Schultz boys, promi-
nent rose growers of that town, and the
trade extends its sympathy in their be-
reavement.

Shaw 's Garden, in St. Louis, now holds
the big plants of Scottii so much admired
at the convention and other plants from
the convention exhibit are still on exhibi-
tion in the Horticulture building at the
Fair.

J. K. Allen has a fund of interesting
experiences of his European travels with
which he delights his friends, but he is
quite satisfied to spend his next fifty
years under the stars and stripes.

Enterprise is in evidence at Chas. Zel-
ler & Son's, in Flatbush, considerable
building now being done and all stock in
the houses and out of them in splendid
condition for the approaching season. R.
Dryer, of Woodside, also shows unlimited
faith in the future and is adding con-
stantly to his plant.

William Ghormley is back from his
outing at Dansville, N. Y,, and J. H.
Troy has returned from Europe.

Henry Hentz, of Madison, has added
the Tilden greenhouses to his extensive
plant, which means more special rose
shipments than ever this season. John
Nash, of this house, has just completed
his annual tour among the Jersey rose
growers.

John Burton, of Philadelphia, and J.
L. Dillon, of Bloomsburg, were among
the week's visitors.

J. B, Nugent, Sr., one of the veterans
of the business and 82 years of age is
reported seriously ill.

J. Austin Shaw.

Columbus, Ind.— Chas. S. Bamaby
found trade so good last season that
he is adding two houses 23x100 feet for
the purpose of increasing his facilities.

Dear Sir:— I desire to express to you my very
sincere appreciation of the magniflcent exhibit of
Scottii made. at St. Loiiis. It was certainly one of
the finest displays ever made at any S. A. F. Con-

mercial Nephrolepis ever offered to the trade. The
lot that you shipped me in June has more than ful-
filled all that you claimed for it. Find enclosed

St. Louis was so far superior to anything that I
have seen at the conventions, that I wish to con-
gratulate you upon the success you have attained
in bringing within reach of all plant lovers, on6 of

I predict for it a great future.

take its place. We have tried all the

Dear Sir: -The 1000 Scottii Runners that you sold
me in June have more than fulfilled all you claimed
tor them— it is the finest commercial fern ever in-

the Boston fern. Anyone visiting here will be con-

they see it. Herman Dretbb.

AMERICAtS ASSOCIATION OF NURSERYMEN.

Pres., E. W. Kirkpatrlck, McElnney, Tex.
Vlce-Pres., C. L. WatrouB. Dea Molneu; Sec'y
Qeo. C. Sealer, Bocbester; Treas., C. L. Yates
Boohester. The 29th annual convention will be
held at West Baden, Ind., June, 1Mb.

C. W. Carman has determined to re-
move his nursery business from Lawrence,
Kan., to Fort Madison, la.

Head the peach trees low. That is, let
them sprout out near the ground and
make several trunks instead of one only.
This advice is specially applicable to the
northern edge of, the peach belt.

In planting his first Georgia peach or-
chard, J. H. Hale set his trees fifteen
feet apart, but this proved too close. The
later orchards, composed of Thurber,
Waddell, Carmen, Hiley, Belle and El-
berta, have been set twenty feet apart.

The Tamarix Africana seems likely
to find a large use as a box edging
through its successful employment by
the landscape department at the St.
Louis World's Fair. It grows to con-
siderable height, but by hard cutting
back it may be kept quite low.

An unusual feature, sure to attract at-
tention on any lawn, is that form of the
sumach known from its peculiar flower
effect as the smoke tree or mist shrub.
It is Rhus Cotinus. In the fall it makes
a fine foliage effect.

Kansas City, Mo. — Among the out-of-
town nurserymen who were in the city
to attend the funeral of J. C. Blair, of
Blair & Kaufman, were E. Albertson,
Bridgeport, Ind.; L. E. Taylor, Topeka;
,E. J. Holman and Col. U. B. Pearsall,
Leavenworth, and A. Miller, Ottawa.

FORSYTHIA EUROPAEA.

John .Charlton & Son, Rochester,
N. Y., write as follows :

"In the Gardeners' Chronicle of Jan-
uary 16, attention is called to Forsythia
Europsea, saying that it has been in the
Berlin Botanic Garden for several years,
but that it has not yet bloomed. We
have the plant in our nursery, and have
without doubt the first plant of its va-
riety to bloom in America. So far, we
have only heard of its existence in one
or two places. We, in common with
others, did not know of the existence of
an European species until a recent pe-
riod, and wonder how it could have es-
caped the attention of botanists so long.

"The late Mr. Thompson, of Ipswich,
offered seeds of it four years ago, from
which our plants were produced, and he
only offered the seeds one season. This
shrub is a good compact grower, of an
upright habit, with no procumbent or
drooping branches. Its flowers are about
the same size as those of Forsythia sus-
pensa, but are of a lighter shade of sul-
phur-yellow color, the flower stems are
shorter or the flowers nearly sessile;
and we should think when the plants at-
tain age they would become very attrac-
tive. In foliage it is similar to F. sus-
pensa, but the habit, as stated above, is
v«ry distinct from that variety. For-

Sthia suspensa is the finest early bloom-
g shrub we possess here, forming
when in bloom glorious drooping bushes
bf deep golden-yellow, which are very
showy and most attractive."

In arranging my heating for my

want to use water for mild weather
and steam for cold. Now the point
that is bothering me is whether I
should put a check valve on the re-

A check valve should not be used on
the return, as the weight of the check
will retard the flow of water when
running with hot water. If it is desir-
able to use valves at all, they should
be those known as "gate" valves,
which can be opened or closed at will
and allow a straight course for the pas-
sage of the water. L. C. C.

• The Japanese longiflorums are in on
time.

The California CDop of beans is now
reported as very seriously injured.

If nothing unfavorable occurs from
now on good deliveries of green podded
beans may be expected.

S. B. Dicks, representing Cooper,
Taher & Co., London, Eng., returns to
Chicago from the northwest September
15.

C. S. Clark, "Wakeman, O., says that
he cannot see anything which would inai-
cate a surplus of sweet corn for this
^ason. .

J, ^y. Bebus, formerly with Wm. El-
liott & Sons, New York, has gone into the
bulb and plant business at 120 Liberty
street, New York.

The pea growers are beginning to re-
ceive the year's crop from the farmers
and definite news of how the crops have
turned out will soon be made known.

It is stated that the melon land in the
vicinity of Rocky Ford, Colorado, is los-
ing its virtue as a peculiarly favorable
soil for insuring quality in the canta-
loupes that are raised there in such
quantity.

At the time of going to press frost is
reported from Nebraska vine, seed and
sweet corn belt. It is not known yet
what effect this may have on the crops
but it is feared that considerable dam-
age has been done.

about half a crop. Curled Scotch kale
was nearly all killed by the winter and
but little seed was produced. It was the
same with Brussels sprouts. Some va-
rieties of cabbage are sufficient for the
demand, but the crop, is very short on a
number of the second early sorts; on sev-
eral of them only forty per cent deliv-
eries seem quite probable at this date,
September 6."

CONNECTICUT SEED CROP.
The Everett B. Clark Co., Milford,
Conn., writes September 8: "Our crops
of turnip, parsnip, beet and onion have
all been harvested and are all good av-
erage crops, yield and quality good.
Carrot is very poor and sweet corn has
ripened down considerably the past two
weeks, but is not a large yield."

EASTERN SEED CROPS.

The D. Landreth Seed Co. writes that
"in the east the seed crops so far har-
vested of such families as cabbage, kale,
turnip, radish and spinach have been
very deficient in product on account of
too much rain and too low a temperature.

"The seed crops not yet harvested,
consisting of pepper, egg plant, melon
and cucumber, are doing poorly for the
same reason, growing too much to leaf
and producing very little fruit.

"The acreage in onion sets in Penn-
sylvania, New Jersey and Delaware was
curtailed to almost nothing, the result of
an indisposition to pursue the culture on
account of low prices. The crop, even
on a reduced acreage, has been unsatis-
factory this year in the yield, but there
are indications of better prices being
obtainable. Field com looks well, but is
very tall and late."

GEORGIA SEED CROPS.
Mark "W. Johnson, Atlanta, Ga., writes
that "seed crops in our growing terri-
tory are encouraging. Most crops will
fall below an average. Cucumber about
fifty per cent; early com about seventy-
five per cent; squash and pumpkin fifty
per cent; Rattlesnake watermelon very
short, other varieties seventy per cent;
okra sixty per cent; Qiant Curled mus-
tard and Seven Top turnips seventy-
five per cent; Georgia collard seventy
per cent. Field crops so far are unusual-
ly fine, corn and cow peas 100 per cent.
Bains are, however, too copious now and
unless they cease soon these crops will
be damaged. Successive years of short
garden seed crops create the belief in
the minds of our farmers that seed grow-
ers have cornered the business in order
to obtain exorbitant prices, an unfor-
tunate condition."

CALIFORNIA SEED CROPS.

C. C. Morse & Co., Santa Clara, Cal.,
write under date of September 8:

"We expect to fill practically all of
our garden seed orders in full, with the
possible exception of a few varieties of
white radish and possilbly some tomato
shOTtages. Onion is again a full crop,

but the total acreage, we believe, is con-
siderably less than that of last year and
the average yield ia probably not quite
so good. This, we believe, has a ten-
dency to reduce surplus somewhat. This
has been a decidedly unfavorable sea-
son for tomato crop, the summer having
been far too cool, but with the extremely
warm weather we are having at present
it should hasten the ripening of fruit
and may yet turn out all right. Sweet
peas did not turn out very well, and we
had quite a number of shortages on
named varieties, as well as on mixtures.
Other flower seeds, such as asters, ver-
benas, poppies, mignonette and cosmos,
are all looking well and prgmise a full
crop,

NEBRASKA SEED CROPS.

Frank T. Emerson, of the Western
Seed and Irrigation Co., Fremont, Neb.,
writes as follows, September 7:

' ' The past season in Nebraska has
been exceedingly unfavorable for com,
both sweet and field varieties, owing to
almost constant wet weather. In the
months of June and July we had but
twelve days that permitted field cultiva-
tion. Crops, therefore, have been pro-
duced under unusually unfavorable con-
ditions and are at least three weeks later
than usual in reaching maturity. Late
varieties at present writing are by no
means in a condition to warrant surety
against frost and will not generally be
safe until the last week of September.

"Vine seed crops, viz., cucumber,
muskmelon, squash, pumpkin, etc., prom-
ised a liberal yield until about the mid-
dle of August, when a period of gener-
ally dry weather began, accompanied
with warm days, quite hot winds and
cold nights, checking growth of vines
and fruit and materially reducing pros-
pective yield of seed.

' ' In our opinion the crop of vine seeds
in general, estimated the middle of Au-
gust, will fall short at least fifty per
cent, and in some instances even more,
depending upon weather conditions, dur-
ing the next fifteen to twenty days. ' '

MEALY BUG ON BOSTONS,

Please tell me of a good solution or
other method of getting rid of mealy
bugs on Boston ferns. J. C.

Fumigating with aphis punk is «.ne of
the safest and best remedies for mealy
bug on Boston ferns, this prepar.ation
being entirely harmless to the ferns
when used according to directions. The
directions given by the makers of the
punk suggest the use of three rolls of
the preparation to a greenhouse 20x100
feet in area, but I have used double
that quantity without injury to the
plants. The fumigation should be given
in the evening and preferably when the
weather is cloudy and damp, as the smoke
stays in the house much longer under
such conditions, and two or three smok-
ings on successive evenings may be
needed to make a clearance of the in-
sects. W. 31. Taplin.

VENTILATION.

I am planning the erection of another
greenhouse and would like some informa-
tion with regard to ventilation. I notice
that most of the larger places in the
west, as illustrated from time to time in
the Review, use alternating ventilators
on each side of the ridge while some use
continuous ventilation on one side only.
What is the idea? Does one get better
ventilation by using the alternating
rather than the continuous sasnf

A. H. D.

The alternating style of ventilation,
as shown in the illustration of the United
States Cut Flower Company's plant at
Elmira, N. Y., published August 25, is
considered by experts to be the ideal and
is now used by most modern builders.
The advantages obtained by this system
over continuous ventilation are, first,
that during continued damp weather the
expansion of the ventilator sash does not
interfere with its closing tightly; sec-
ond, during high winds the resistance is
reduced to a minimum, at the same time
affording quite as free an access to fresh
air. Another very valuable advantage
lies in the fact that ventilation can be
readily alternated to suit either a north
or south wind. There is very little dif-
ference in the cost of construction, but
the difference in cost of maintenance is
decidedly in favor of the alternating
method. Bibes.

TIJ f^ C A V *^* October now rivats Jane
I ll [_ I ^/% I as a month for weddings.

Have you the ribbons^ the
RIGHT RIBBONS that you need for the decorations
and for the flowers carried by the bride and bridesmaids?

Know that we weave ribbons, narrow and wide, of
satin, of taffeta, of gauze; and all with that distinctive-
ness that stamps PINE TREE RIBBONS as the RIGHT
RIBBONS for Florists to use.

And yet — the prices are less than cheaper qualities
sold elsewhere, because — when buying from the mill,
"YOU SAVE ALL BETWEEN PROFITS."

^i;UaIiFlttl;m

Ribbons are sold in any desired qnantity from a 10-yard
piece apwards. Write for aaniples and compare with the
ribbons you now use. The prices and qualities will be con-
vincing. These are our special grades. In all widths.

ONCINNATL

The Market

Trade is very much the same as re-
ported last week, with the supply of
stock somewhat larger. Beauties espe-
cially are in large supply and they are of
good quality also. Other roses are not
very plentiful, except very short-stemmed
ones. Some good Chatenay are coming
in. Dudley, of Parkersburg, W. Va.,
sends some nice blooms of this rose.

Asters are reduced in quantity every
day and the end seems to be in sight.
Those to be had come from the^ north and
are of fine quality. Carnations are still

scarce, there being scarcely any. Gladioli
are not very plentiful. There has been
a good demand for lilies and valley and
very little supply to take care of it. Long,
fine dahlias that sell well are coming to
E. G. Gillett from the Cushman Co. This
firm is also sending some fine gladioli.

Jewish New Year's brought forth a
lively demand for stock last Friday and
Saturday and most of the commission
houses were cleared out early in the day.

Vatiofis Notes.

Julius Baer has received notice to va-
cate his present quarters within a year,
as the building will be torn down. There
are four retail stores on Fourth street be-
tween Walnut and Main, all of which are
in rather old buildings that will soon be
raized to make way for modern structures.
This will make it necessary for these flor-
ists to find new quarters and, as this
block now constitutes the main retail cut
flower district of the city, it will bring
about a shifting of retail stores that will
be watched with considerable interest.
But after all it is the man who handles
the best quality of flowers, who treats his
customers well and who does not over-
charge them who gets the trade. The
matter of location is not the first con-
sideration in a first-class flower store.

Grasshoppers have been causing con-
siderable damage to carnation plants late-
ly and others report trouble with thrips.

Wm. Murphy has just returned from
his trip to Snow Islands. He is looking
very well and reports fishing very good.

J. T. Conger has gone to Cleveland to
attend the convention of the J. O. A. M.

Fred Gear had two large wagonloads
of floral designs for the funeral of Judge
Nipert, besides a third wagonload for
another funeral.

Chas. Pommert was in the city Monday.
He is sending in some fine green goods.
He reports the goldfish crop as very large '
this year.

E. Ostemdorf is receiving congratula-
tions. It is a fine boy and looks just like
papa.

The regular meeting of the Florists'
Society was held last Saturday. The
main topic for discussion was our flower
shows. It was finally decided to revise
the schedules and rules somewhat and to
give three shows, the first being a chrys-
anthemum show, to be held the second
Saturday in November. A committee con-
sisting of E. Witterstaetter, Wm. Mur-
phy, Geo. Murphy, Wm. Bodgers and Ben
George was appointed to make the neces-
sary arrangements and see to raising tb'^
money for prizes. The committee will
meet next Sunday afternoon at E. Wit-
terstaetter's home to commence work.
Our flower shows have been the mainstay
of our society and it is to be hoped that
everyone will enter into them with as
much spirit this year as they have been
accustomed to in the past.

PACIFIC COAST.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market

It registers 98 degrees in the shade
and the effect of this is to bring the
balance of the aster crop into town with
a rush and from present indications we
will not have them much longer with
US. The chrysanthemums are beinp
brought on in a hurry and it will be only
a few days until we are swamped by
them. We have had indoor mums for
several weeks and they have been very
fair sellers. They cost the ^stores on
an average of from $2 to '$2.50 per
dozen. Roses have a very shabby ap-
pearance and it will be some weeks be-
fore they are normal. Maids are about
the best, with a few good Brides here
?nd there. The weather does not favor
Beauties and they are very poor. Car-
nations are in good demand and of only
fair quality. A great many of our
larger growers are still changing their
houses and it makes this rather an off
season for blooms. "Violets are a little
more plentiful. The weather has been
so warm that it is almost impossible
to keep them in good selling shape ovei
a few hours. Business has only beer,
fair, notwithstanding that we have had
many thousands of visitors in town.

Various Notes.

The Alcazar florists have given up the
store in the Alcazar Theatre building.

Thos. H. Stevenson has been using
large baskets of assorted fruits to good
advantage in decorating his windows in
the Palace hotel during the Knights
Templar conclave.

The show of flowers kept on exhibi-
tion at Sievers & Boland's Post street
store has rarely been equaled in San
Francisco and is a splendid advertise-
ment for California and for this enter-
prising firm.

Misses Wallenberg & Montpelier report
that their prospects for decorating dur-
ing the coming season are very good.
They have two large house decorations
for next week.

H. Plath, of Ocean View, is erecting a
fern house 25x80 feet. This is the thir-
teenth house devoted to ferns, palms and
smilax, of which Mr. Plath has one
of the largest assortments on the coast.

The Society Hortensia will give a flower
show in Oakland this week.

W. V. Eberly is at present acting as
manager for the California Nursery Co.,
at Niles; the position was made vacant
by the death of the late John Eock. G.

A NEW PARASITE.

One of the most important discoveries
that has ever been made for the benefit
of horticulture is announced. The para-
site that destroys the codlin moth has
been found in South America, by George
Compere, who is employed jointly by tht
State of California, through Horticultural
Commissioner Cooper, and by West Au.s-
tralia. The genuineness of the discovery
is vouched for by the fact that the apple
orchards that are the habitat of the newly
found parasite bring ninety-five per cent
of their fruit to maturity. In Cali-
fornia, as well as other countries, the
product of the world's apple and pear

orchards has not been more than thirtv-
five to forty per cent of the promise at
setting.

The codlin moth is to be found wherevei
these fruits are grown. This insect causes
apples and pears to be wormy and drop
prematurely from the trees and within
the last ten years it has fully identified
itself with our entire orchard country.
It is said that wherever the codlin moth
lives, the codlin moth parasite will also
thrive, regardless of extremes of tem-
perature. Consequently the discovery be-
comes at once of world-wide importance.
The first of the codlin moth parasites
will probably reach San Francisco before
the expiration of the present year, when
the work of multiplying them will at
once be prosecuted. G.

MILVAUKEE.

Death o Frank WhitnalL

Frank Whitnall, a pioneer resident
of Milwaukee, . died September 10 at
the residence of his son, C. B. Whit-
nall, aged 74 years. Mr. Whitnall was
born at Leeds, England, in 1830. He
came to the United States when a boy
of 16 years, making his way alone to
Milwaukee, where his brother, Wil-
liam, had preceded him. Later Frank
Whitnall studied botany at Oberlin
College and purchased five acres of
land along the Milwaukee river, the
property on Humboldt avenue being
now known as the Whitnall homestead.
He subjected many native wild flowers
to cultivation and improved them
greatly. Later his son, C. B. Whitnall,
took up the business and conducted it
for many years. Mr. Whitnall is sur-
vived by his wife, their son, two broth-
ers and one sister. For several years
Mr. Whitnall resided in Los Angeles,
but returned to Milwaukee recently,
feeling that his illness was fatal.

RCXX ISLAND, ILL.

At a regular monthly meeting of the
Tri-City Florists ' Club, held September 8,
at Henry Gaethje's greenhouse in South
Bock Island, the members decided to have
the 6'"ganization incorporated. John
Temple, of Davenport, was appointed a
committee of one to have charge of the
preliminary arrangements.

The members listened to two very in-
teresting and instructive talks during the
evening. * * The Humorous Side of a Flor-
ist's Life" was described in an amusing
manner by Harry Bills. Emil Boehn
talked of "Cyclamens" and brought out
many valuable points. The delegates to
the national convention in St. Louis also
made their report. The next regular ses-
sion of the club will be held in Moline on
the second Thursday in October. At this
meeting addresses will be made by George
Forber and Theodore Ewoldt. Light re-
freshments \yere served after the business
of the evening had been concluded.

Fairbury, iLLp^TKting Bros, are do-
ing a nice business in field-grown car-
nation plants, their largest shipment
having been to a buyer in New York.

QuiNCY, Mass. — Malcora Orr has
bought the Miller place in North Saugiis
and has the houses planted to double
violets and chrysanthemums, all looking
fine, especially the violets, of which he
is a first-class grower. Mr. Orr will sell
his cut at the new market in Boston.

Business has not improved since my
last writiag and we have bad no rain.
Carnations are about all boused, witb
the exception of a few which are not
quite ready yet.

The Kentucky Society of Florists held
its monthly meeting on September 6, at
C. W. Beimers' place on Hite avenue.
A very large attendance was on hand
and lots of business was transacted.
President Jacob Schulz called the meet-
ing to order at 3 o'clock. The object of
this meeting was to consider prices on
all bedding plants in 4-inch pots. Quite
a lively discussion took place and after
a long, hard struggle it was agreed that
prices be advanced. After the meeting
adjourned the members were invited to a
beautiful spread which was served by C.
W. Beimers and all sat down and did
justice to it. Jos. Coenen acted as
' toastmaster and did it well. Messrs.
Bohrman and Kirch gave some of their
popular songs, which were cheered by all.
A vote of thanks was extended to Mr.
Beimers by the society. The polite fore-
man, Mr. Koenig, showed the members
through the different departments and
everything was in fine shiape. His chry-
santhemums, carnations, poinsettias, tea
roses and American Beauties are all
growing in fine order.

SHIPPING ASPAHAGUS PLANTS.

How should potted asparagus plants
be packed to send by express?

I. E. B,

At tkis season of the year little or no
wrapping in paper is required in pack-
ing plants for shipment by express, but
if packed in pots they need a good layer
of excelsior between each row of plants,
and then a wooden strip or cleat firmly
nailed in order to keep the plants from
shifting.

If the plants are small, that is, any
size up to 3-inch pots, I should pre-^eV
to lay them on their sides in regubr
layers in the ends of a box, the T'Ots
being separated from each other by a
small wad of excelsior, ard thou to
fasten each layer in place with a nar-
row strip, a sufficient quanfitj' of ex-
celsior being laid along the froiit of the
pots to act as a cushion between the lat-
ter and the wooden strip.

With larger sized pots it .vould be bet-
ter to cover the floor of the box with
about an inch or two of excelsior, then
stand the pots upon it in regular rows,
making all tight with the packing ma-
terial, and then nailing the strips be-
tween the rows to keep the plants se-
cure, the box being finished with a crate
cover.

In, frosty weather it would be neces-
sary'to wrap the plants in several thick-
nesses of paper, fasten them in the box
as before, and then finish with a tight
cover, the entire box having been well
lined with a good layer of paper on the
bottom, top, sides and ends.

Packing plants in pot3 adds very
greatly to the weight and bulk of the
package, besides being much more risky
on account of possible breakage, and
should therefore be avoided as much as
possible in making express shipments.

W. H. Tapltn.

Washington, D. C— O. A. C. Oehmler,
who has been at Butte, Mont., for several
months, is here again badly crippled by
rheumatism but improving. He was
c>alled east by the serious illness of his
daughter at Toledo, who is also much
better.

The Wcddy Florists' Review/

Septembbk 15, 1904.

PIPING A RANGE.

We have nearly completed four houses
running north and south, three fifteen
feet wide and one sixteen. We wish to
maintain at least 55 degrees when the
thermo^ieter ig zero in three of them
and 65 degrees in the other one at that
temperature. The ridge is thirteen feet
from the ground; glass is eight to nine
feet at ends and two feet at east and
west sides. The walls are 2-inch plank-
ing and one inch rustic with tar paper
between. The houses are built on a side
hill and are all connected by gutters,
with a partition separating the sixteen-
foot house from the others. The house
on the west is five feet higher than the
boiler house, which is located at the
southeast corner of the houses. There-
fore we feel we will have to make the
far end of the flows the highest point.
We have a Scotch-marine 50 horse-
power boiler and want to use hot water.
We have several thousand 3-inch tub-
ing on hand and prefer that because it
is cheapest. B. F. C.

To maintain a temperature of 55 de-
grees in zero weather in the three houses
fifteen feet wide without partitions be-
tween will require in all eighten lines of
3-inch pipe. If your houses run along
the side of the hill, it will be necessary
to place nine lines in the lower house,
five in the second, and four in the upper
one, as the heated air will rise. If the
houses run up and down the hillside,
there should be eight lines in the out-
side house and five in each of the others.
The house sixteen feet wide will require
eight lines of pipe to maintain a tem-
perature of 65 degrees, one flow and
seven returns, four of which should be
under the outside bench. One flow f>ipe
will be sufficient in each house and the
end farthest from the boiler can be the
highest point, but must be provided with
an air vent. L. C. C.

Naperville, III. — Jacob Rohr & Sou
have about doubled their glass this sum-
mer and will grew carnations as well as
bedding plants for the cemetery trade.
Business is steadily increasing with
them.

Sbptkmbgr 15, 1904.

TOLEDO, OHIO.

Anton F. Schramm died September 4
at his home, 2476 Cherry street. Death
was caused by hemorrhage of the lungs.
The deceased was 40 years of age. He
leaves a wife and five children, the eldest
a daughter of 18. He was born in this
city and lived here all his life. He was
engaged in the florists' business with
the elder Schramm until three years ago,
when he started a greenhouse of his own
on Cherry street.

PIPING.

We have a house 16x40, three-quarter
span to the southwest, fourteen inches
glass on side and glass in south end, ten
feet to ridge. We want to heat this with
hot water, using a 3% -inch flow and
2-inch returns. How shall we pipe it?
The center bed is solid. M. & H.

To maintain a temperature of 60 de-
grees in zero weather will require the
use of eight 2-inch return pipes, four
under each bench, in addition to one 3%-
inch flow pipe. Ii. C. C.

Beware the First Frost.

We have such wide climatic differences
in this country that frost may be ex-
pected in North Dakota perhaps ere this.
It may hold off until the middle of No-
vember in Maryland and never assail the
orange groves of Florida during the
whole winter. In the North Atlantic
states, northern New York aiid what we
call the middle west, we can look pretty
surely for a slight frost during the early
days of October. No matter how ' * beau-
tiful" October may be, and it is a
glorious month, generally a frost the first
week has ruined our gardens and to the
careless florist it has done worse than
that; it has ruined many plants that he
should have had under glass. From
now on for the next three weeks is a
hustling time.

Stevia Serrata«

That common cheap plant, Stevia ser-
rata, is indispensable. Our best cus-
tomers ask continually for "that light,
feathery flower." They should be lifted
and potted into 6-inch or 7-inch pots,
but still left outdoors. This plant is in
one respect like the cineraria: It will
thrive in the greenhouse at a tempera-
ture of 40°, yet 2° of frost will curl it
up. So have them in a position where
they can be protected against a slight
early frost and when it is gone they are
far better outdoors for another month.
The plants are stouter and better in
every way outdoors than under glass and,
as it is at the holidays when it is in
greatest demand, it will ebme too early if
given glass protection before the end of
October. If your plants have been
pinched within three or four weeks no
more stopping should be done.

Azalea Indica*

Plants that have been summered over
and plunged outside we consider nowa-
days our best plants for Easter. Just
let me mention here that it would seem
reasonable to suppose that these plants
would be the most available to force for
Christmas sales. But it has been proved
by numerous growers that they are not.
The newly imported plants are the ones
to force for Christmas; that is, some
varieties. The plants that you have car-
ried over in pots during summer should
be reserved for Easter. These azaleas
will stand about 1° or 2° of frost, but
more would hurt them, and as there is
no object in keeping them out until dan-
ger of frost, get them into the house.

A light, bright house is not at all nec-
essary. A deep cold frame would do
them finely until severe weather sets in.
They have matured their growth, set
their buds and will be about dormant
until the buds begin to expand in the
spring. So a low temperature is the
great essential and, as Easter is very late,
a house where you could keep them down
to 40° will suit them well during the
dark days of winter. I will have some-
thing to say about the new importa-
tions a week later.

The bottle brush, Acacia armata and
any cool hard-wooded plants that you
have had outside need the same treat-
ment as the azalea. Th6y want to be
cool until it is time to give them heat
to bring them into flower.

Hydrangeas.

In our locality the hydrangea is by
no means as important, an Easter plant
as five or six others, nor has it the im-
portance our friend Mr. Peterson attaches
to it. Yet when well flowered they are
very decorative. A few growers plant
them -out. The majority of successful
growers keep them entirely in pots.
Don't be alarmed about a slight frost on
them. A light frost ripens the wood and
puts them in better condition to submit
to two months' rest, which is essential
before starting them into growth. If you
planfed your young plants out in the
spring, you can lift them at once, but
they should be left outdoors as long as
possible, to mature and ripen the growth.

Growers of Easter plants of several
kinds should be well supplied with cold
frames and sash to cover them in case
of frost. Azaleas, stevias and these hy-
drangeas would be better there until the
middle of November and by that time
many of your chrysanthemum benches
will be thrown out and you then have
plenty of room for these plants and
others.

Rambler Roses.

\ve have induced our very near blood
relations to grow some Crimson Ramblers
on what I believe is the surest method
and several times in my notes they have
been referred to. They now have canes
seven or eight feet long. The plants have
been standing on boards outdoors in the
sun for the past three or four weeks.
The boards are important because we
don't want them to root through. They
have made growth enough. Don 't let
them suffer for water. The colder weather
and frosts will ripen the wood. Yet
there is a time coming, and that's in
October, when they want careful watch-
ing. If we should get a warm spell with
copious rains, the strong eyes on the
canes may break into growth, and that's
decidedly a pity. I^y them on their
sides when rains occur during October.
What you want is a gradual ripening,
and when November comes there is no
longer fear of any eye breaking.

When zero approaches lay them down
in a cold frame and protect with ever-
green boughs or shutters. Don't make
the mistake of putting these hardy roses
to rest with their roots dust dry. Many
a hardy plant has been killed by severe
freezing, because the roots were dry.
Nurserymen like to see their trees
and shrubs enter the winter with the soil
wet and that's a lesson for us. A dry
October and November, and then a sud-
den freeze up, is often disastrous to our
orchards and ornamental trees and
shrubs. And so the moral of all this
is, while leafless and at rest these hardy

roses must be moist at the root if ex-
posed to hard frosts.

Beeonia Lorraine.

Now is a good time to give these
beautiful plants their last shift. Sup-
posing they are in 4-inch pots, then give
them 6-inch. If in 3-inch a 5-inch will
do and that size of plants is in good de-
mand. Pans or baskets can be made up
later, when plants of a uniform size can
be chosen. It is from now on for the
next two months that this popular plant
makes its most rapid and strongest
growth. If grown in a north and south
house no more shade is needed and if
in an east and west house shade only
for a few hours in the middle of the
day.

Any permanent shade you may have
during summer should be removed, and
that will apply to almost all plants. As
far as the strength or influence of the
sun's rays at this season, the first of
October is about as the sun would edtine
on us on March 13 or 14, and who
think» of shading so early as that? If
I am wrong in this, it's because I am
only a one-horse astronomer.

There is another commercial begonia
which I think it will not be far wrong to
call B. inearnata grandiflora. It used to
be largely grown, and is stiU worth it.
for cut flowers in January and Febru-
ary, but too often cut when soft and
immature. Many have not grown it
lately, because it gets diseased with a
rust. The cause of that is too much
shade in summer and fall. It will do
plunged outdoors in the broad sun. If
you still grow it, now give it the bright-
est bench you can.

Liftins: Stock Plants.

There are several important bedding
plants that it is a waste of room to
propagate now. A few plants lifted
and potted will later give you all the
cuttings you require for your spring
stock. Among tliese are acalyphas of
several kinds, ageratum, lobelia, fever-
few, the glorious Salvia splendens and
others that will lift. I don't say all
these should be lifted right away, but as
you only want a few of each, they will
not be missed from the garden and you
won't be all in a fluster on the eve of
Jack's first visit.

Not one inch of your propagating
bench should be vacant just now if you
are a bedding plant grower and at once
should go in large batches of the ivy
geraniums, the scented and tricolor var-
ieties, the variegated and green vinca
(by green I mean what is properly
known as Harriaonii and which is quite
as valuable for vases and veranda boxes
as the variegated), the Abutilon vexil-
larium, a few cuttings of lophosj>er-
mum, in fact any bedding plants that
cannot be lifted easily and of which you
want a large quantity.

Tulips are arriving. If you want to
cut some soon after Christmas, get 1,000
of such good variety boxed at once. The
main crop can wait a few weeks.

ROSES.

Foresight as to Soil.

Growers who are alive to their best
interests will now begin to store their
soil and manure for winter and spring
requirements. This material is now in
the most fit state for storing that we
can expect and if the storing is delayed

848

The Weekly Florists* Review^

Sbptbubbb 22, 1004.

till the cold fall rains have had time to
saturate it the best properties will be
washed out.

A most essential adjunct to every
growing establishment is a well built
soil shed. This shed should be built on
ground a little above the common level
and be amply provided with drainage.
The roof should be entirely water tight,
80 that no drip can reach either soil or
manure. The side walls should be open
enough to admit fresh air and some pro-
vision should be made to exclude frost.

After the plants have consumed the
elements contained in the soil in the
bench and watering has to be given more
guardedly they are deprived of the best
part of their sustenance and this must
be supplied in some form from week to
week.

The careful grower will, before the
winter has commenced, have a store of
material which he can draw upon to sup-
ply food for his stock as often as re-
quired. This supply of food can be
easily and safely administered, even
during the shortest days, in the form of
a light mulch, which should be prepared
while soil and manure are in IJiat fine,
meUow condition so easily distinguished
from hard, cakey, or sodden soil.

A compost of two parts decomposed
cow manure to one of good fibrous sod,

thoroughly incorporated and passed
through an inch screen or a fine sod
crusher, will make it fine enough for,
use. Just before putting it on the bencH
we usually add to each bushel of mulch
a 5-inch pot of dessicated bone meal and,
after carefully watching results, are sat-
isfied that this is about the right propor-
tion for mulches not exceeding an inch
ih depth.

How pleasant and handy to be able
during the cold days of January, when
our first batch of cuttings are ready to
pot, to be able to place on the potting
bench some fine, mellow, warm soil, soil
which we are not afraid will chill the
tender young roots instead of having
to bring it in in a frozen condition and
await patiently for it to thaw and dry
out.

By a little foresight now we can save
many anxious hours of worry during the
long winter days, besides having the soil
in the proper condition, which contrib-
utes so much toward the successful rais-
ing of young stock.

As the nutritive qualities of soils and
manures and their action upon stock at
different stages of their growth should
be part of the stock in trade of every
grower, old and young, I will in the near
future make this the subject of a short
treatise. • Eibes.

t

A PALETTE ON AN EASEL.

Emblematic Designs.

Before entering upon the discussion
of this design, it might be well to
speak briefly of the selection and adap-
tation to floral execution of the beet
Sarts of badges, emblems, buttons, etc.
[any designs of this kind, good enough
in jewelry, are too complex to reduce
to a good average-sized piece in flow-
ers. For instance, the one from which
the palette before us today was chosen,
was a round button with a blue back-
ground, white palette and brushes in the
center, under which was a scarlet panel
with the word "Iowa." Above the pal-
ette were the initials "P. A. of. ' ' The
palette was of white enamel with splashes
of paint around the edge of the wide
part, just as an artist arranges them for
his color work, the purple first, then the
red, pink and yellow following a line
around the edge. The brushes were
drawn through the thumb hole. The
whole design was too elaborate for re-
production in flowers except in a very
large piece, and besides, the scarlets and
purples in flowers can never neighbor
with a good grace. The question, there-
fore, to be decided first was as to what
part should be selected, and what part
or parts ignored. The part to be repro-
duced is that which signifies the most, of
course, which in this case was the palette
with the brushes. The remainder was
simply a background for palette and let-
tering, and at the same time a good ex-
cuse for getting rid of objectionable col-
oring. Choosing the significant part,
therefore, we proceed to give it a free

interpretation, as it were, by adding an
easel and trimming. The badge described
above was that of an art association.

Filling and Stemming.

After lining the palette frame with
ferns, filling with sphagnum and wrap-
ping as for other designs, cover the
frame with the background flowers. It
should have been stated above that the
design frame ought to be shallow, as an
easel is thin wood. Stem the asters on
three-quarters picks and insert as flatly
as possible against the moss. Cover the
shallow edges with small asters. In
stemming asters, place the blunt end of
the pick up close against the base of the
flower, and wrap as tightly as the stems
will stand without being cut by the wire.
In other designs it is well to stem asters
and chrysanthemums on whole picks, by
setting the upper point of the pick up
into the solid center of the flower from
below, to secure the flower in case the
soft stem should snap at the top. After-
wards wrap as above.

Smooth Surface and Outline.
The background here is of white, top
and edges the same without any green.
In any design with no more of a distinct
form than this never obscure the outline
with a green edge. If you are going to
make a design, make it. In plain En-
glish, outline it strictly with a uniform
material, be positive; then get in your
art in free and abundant trimming. In
neither coloring nor filling allow the dis-
tinctness and character of your design
to be obscured. The only exception to
this rule which comes to mind now, is
the wreath, in both construction and

trimming of which you may give loose
rein to your inclinations for untamed
freedom and wild grace.

Smooth the surface of the palette by
inserting a few white carnations here
and there between the asters. Cover the
whole surface of the palette with the
asters and carnations, except the thumb
hole and the indented place above the
hole. These should be either cut ^n the
construction of the frame or covered
with ferns before the flowers are in-
serted.

Observe the Technicalities.

After constructing the palette proper
lay in the splashes of color. These can
scarcely be distinguished in the picture,
and so in the description immediately
following we will endeavor to be very
explicit, and with a little study the idea
will appear plain. An artist as he ar-
ranges the colors on his palette, ready
for mixing, beginning vdth the dark col-
ors at the top, will put out a splash of
bteck, then blue, then dark red, following
with the more brilliant dark colors and
toning out gradually to the lighter colors
and tints, ending vdth white. In other
words, a rainbow is the most convenient
arrangement of colors on . the palette.
Here is an idea which can be very pret-
tily worked out on our piece.

In order to make the effect of a splash
of color rathes than a dot, first insert a
purple aster over the white background
in the ordinary way. Then cut a purple
aster stemmed in the same way, in two
vertically. Insert it on top of the first
purple aster deep enough to draw the
latter partly to one side. The effect is
one of a ragged projection, like a splash
of paint. A short distance to the right
insert a stemmed American Beauty with-
out foliage. A half blown bud is chosen
for this, and on one side a petal is pulled
down to produce an irregular edge. For
the third splash of color, stem an indi-
vidual gladiolus flower with a light pink
background and a bright variegation.
Set the flower down close against the
background, and a short distance off the
background color of the flower will not
be seen, and only the bright streak of
color appears. Farther round the palette
produce in a similar manner, a spot of
yellow and one of delicate pink. Do not
overdo too much coloring; choose and
adapt a few hints from this suggestive
source.

Choice of Easels.

At this juncture mount the piece on a
bamboo easel. The latter is chosen rather
than a wire easel, on account of its
strength and substantial appearance in
comparison to a wire easel. Many solid
pieces requiring mounting look better on
this kind of an easel. They are inex-
pensive. To properly mount the piece,
which by this time has become quite
heavy, set the lower edge on the cross
bar of the easel and tie through the edge
of the wire frame around the uprights
of the easel on both sides with strong
wire.

Trimming the Palette.

In order to give a starting point for
the trimming on the surface of the pal-
ette, insert the brushes, or rather, the
imitation brushes through the thumb
hole, "a la artiste." The easiest way
to make the brushes is to whittle out a
long stick, smooth it off round and point
at one end and on the other end wrap
a few sprays of loose wheat heads to re-
semble a brush. Bronze the brushes and
pull them through the thumb hole, or
appear to do so. In reality push the

pointed ends downwards through the
sphagnum near the edge of the thumb
hole, and they will hold themselves in
place.

Arrange a loose spray of Golden Gate
rosea according to the rule for making
clusters and trail the same along among
the brushes, the tip at the top of the
group of brushes, and the stem end
drawn through the thumb hole. Tie the
stem end under the palette to the frame.
Let a few of the roses in the stem «nd
fall downward toward the edge of the
piece. Add a long spray of delicate
green toward the tip of the cluster.

Trimming the Easel.

Bunch some purple, light pink and
white asters with wood ferns, in a loose,
round cluster and tie with heavy wire
around the base of the right upright of
the easel, as shown in the illustration.
Continue the line of decoration with
smaller groups of asters up the right
side of the easel, allowing the flowers to
stand out away from the edge of the
frame. Let them have an- independent
swing all the way up. Only wire them
securely, so that nobody can say that
your art is impracticable. Do the same
with the fern leaves. A bunch of long-
stemmed Shasta daisies is tied over the
right end of the cross bar of the easel.
These could be just as well stemmed in
groups of two or three and inserted on
the edge of the palette frame, with the
same airy freedom allowed the asters.
The group of wood ferns on the top of
the right upright are merely set in the
hollow bamboo, as in a vase.

This piece well illustrates the principle
that a design itself should represent
some object or idea, and must be made
distinct, and then can be trimmed lav-
ishly. This design is appropriate for an
«xhibition piece, or foT the funeral of an
artist, or one who is a patron of art in
any line. Gertrude Blair.

WITH BOSTON GROWERS.

John McFarland, North Easton, Mass.

John McFarland, of North Easton, has
two nice houses of Cainot roses from
which he is cutting good quality blooms.
He has over 12,000 single-stemmed
chrysanthemums which look well. One
of his special favorites is Mrs. E. D.
Adams, which he considers an ideal yel-
low for the trade. A batch of 2,500
Mrs. Thirkell is grown for late yellow
blooms. A bench of 400 Cypripedium in-
signe looked well. Some 1,500 poinset-
tias are grown in benches for Christmas
trade. Lilies, sweet peas and lily of the
valley are other specialties, 75,000 of the
latter being grown.

Peter Fisher, Ellis, Mass.

The name of Peter Fisher, of Ellis,
Mass., is known to every florist in the
United States and Canada as that of the
originator of Lawson, Enchantress, Mrs.
Patten, Governor Wolcott, Nelson Fisher
and other choice carnations. The end of
August is not the best time to visit
Ellis, but an inteiesting specialist like

An Artist's Palette on an Easel.

Mr. Fisher, who has achieved such signal
success in late years, is always worth
calling on. We found the carnation
houses all filled with thrifty stock, a
good deal of which had been grown in-
doors all summer. Flamingo looked very
well and Mr. Fisher thinks highly of it.
His stock had all been grown indoors.
He stated that another prominent grower
had not succeeded at all with it grown
under glass. Lady Bountiful, White
Lawson, Boston Market and Wolcott are
grown as whites. The first named and,
indeed, all other sorts where grown in-
side, were immensely superior to plants
from the field. Nelson IMsher, Mrs. Pat-
ten and Enchantress are grown in quan-
tity. Some fine flowers of the last named
were being picked.

A batch of 500 Gibson Beauty looked
very promising. Another bench of a
new white claimed our attention. This
Mr. Fisher assured us was a great im-
provement over Wolcott, a superior
flower in every way, which should stamp
it as a winner. A fine new house 33x300
has just been completed, with all mod-
ern improvements. It is an even-span,
which Mr. Fisher considers much the
best.

A house of seedlings, mostly on trial
for the second year, will shortly be very
interesting. We noted dozens of labels
with mysterious hieroglyphics denoting
the numerous crosses. They include about
every conceivable color. One especially

fine one is in the way of Enchantress,
but two or three shades deeper in color.
Asparagus Sprengeri and tomatoes are
also grown here, but carnations outweigh
all else in importance. Wp observed
signs of horticultural progress in Mr.
Fisher's youngest son, who was experi-
menting with a bench of watermelons in
one house. May he prove a valued aid
to his worthy father.

Thomas Roland, Nahant.

One of the best all around plantsmen
supplying the Boston market is Thomas
Eoland. While perhaps best known for
his striking success with Begonia Gloire
de Lorraine, he grows a large assortment
of other plants and grows them all well.

Mr. Roland 's compact greenhouse plant
comprises some 40,000 feet of glass, every
foot of which is made to count. Pot
plants are being grown more extensively
here each year and will no doubt event-
ually displace bench stock altogether. The
first house to attract our attention on a
recent visit, was one containing 1,200
cyclamen, beautiful stock grown in deep
pans in lieu of pots and intended for
Christmas trade. Poinsettias are grown
in quantity and pans were being filled
with several stocky little plants each, in
which way they sell the best. Euphorbia
jacquiniffiflora is also well liked, but is
found less easy to root.' Erica hyemalis,
E. persoluta alba and E. Mediterranea are

well grown, the first named being already
in bloom. Genistas, azaleas, Acacia
armata and Bougainvillea Sanderiana
are grown in quantity and numbers of
Crimson Bambler roses are being pre-
pared for Easter trade.

Lilium Harrisii for Christmas flowers
was at the right stage. Primulas in
frames were nice, stocky plants. Mar-
gueritas, Mahonia odorata. Campanula
medium, gloxinias and achimenes are all
handled. In ferns we noted quantities
of Nephrolepis Bostoniensis, Pieraoni and
Scottii in benches and pots. Pteris
tremula and P. Microlepia hirta cristata
are also favorites. Dracaena terminalis
and D. Sanderiana are found useful for
making up center-pieces.

Lorraine begonias are, however, Mr.
Roland's great specialty. These fill two
large houses. One is almost entirely
filled with big specimens being grown for
Christmas trade, the other being largelj-
young stock for shipping, which were to
be seen in thousands, all being in the

most vigorous health. In addition to the
ordinary light and dark forms, the varie-
ties Glory of Wellesley and Turnford
Hall were. noted in quantity. Orchids are
not omitted. A bench of 500 Cypripe-
dium insigne were pushing a forest of
spikes. Oncidium varicosum Bogersii is
also grown, some fine sprays being in
full bloom.

Two new houses each 140 feet long are
planted with the popular market chrysan-
themums. These looked first-class. About
10,000 carnations are grown, favorite
sorts being Lawson, Adonis, Enchantress,
Mrs. Patten, Queen and Boston Market.

A large storage shed was just being
completed, which will prove very useful.
In addition to his regular greenhouse
trade Mr. Boland cares for many of the
estates of the Nahant cottagers, employ-
ing a large staff of men on this work
from spring to fall. Everything on this
establishment is as neat as on any pri-
vate estate, the furnace room being no
exception. W. N. Ceaig.

SEASONABLE WORK.

Just now there is lots of work in the
chrysanthemum houses and it is work of
a character that it does not pay to leave
undone or keep putting off from day to
day. All the plants that for any reason
did not set a crown bud are now rushing
in together and disbudding should be at-
tended to every day. It is wonderful,
when the cool nights of September set in,
how rapid is the growth of the plants.
After the bud is set and swelling it
seems as though side shoots spring from
everywhere and suckers appear in a
night. All these must be removed for
the present to keep the energies of the
plant concentrated on the developing
bud. Later' on, when the flower is finish-
ing, the suckers may be left, as they
serve a good purpose in using up the
surplus moisture from the soil, and they
are needed as the nucleus for stock for
next year.

Feeding has been gone into recently in
these notes and there is no need to re-
hash it, but throughout this month is
the period when feeding is most needed
and when the plant is in the best condi-
tion to take it up. In using liquid ma-
nure water always arrange things so
that the liquid is free from sediment.
Then it spreads through the soil evenly
and does not leave a hard scum on top of
the soil. This is noticed more when
soot water or cow manure water has been
used, soot water particularly clogging up
the pores of the soil and interfering with
its perfect aeration.

Bone meal should not be used as a top
dressing any more now, as the plants
v/ill be unable to get much good out of
it before the flowers are cut. As the
different varieties get up to a point
where they are showing color it is well
to discontinue feeding altogether. If too
long continued the flowers, though they
may be a little larger, will most certain-

ly be nnicli softer and more liable to
damp in the petals, and will also bruise
very easily during shipment.

Tying up should be attended to now
while the stems are still pliable, so that
they may be clean and straight when
ready for market. Flowers with clean,
straight stems and perfect foliage sell
much more easily than a crooked look-
ing, neglected batch, no matter what
kind of flower is on top, and for exhibi-
tion, of course, the perfect stem ^nd foli-

age counts considerable in the grand to-
tal of points.

Shading should be attended to along
the early benches, where the flowers are
fast developing. If one has an entire
house of early kinds, shading is easy,
but if it happens that one has just one or
two benches of early kinds and the rest
are later ones, the whole house cannot be
shaded indiscriminately as the later ones
need all the sun that is going for the
next two or three weeks. Tack some
heavy cheese cloth over the flowers or
shade the glass outside part way up.
Shading is absolutely necessary for early
flowers, and in most cases for late ones
also, as the sun is so hot on occasional
days that it will burn the petals, no mat-
ter how carefully feeding has been done.

FIRE HEAT FOR MUMa

How soon will chrysanthemums require
fire heat? We are now liaving light
flOBts. T. H.

I think a little fire heat is beneficial
in the mum house when the thermometer
shows 45° in the house. It is far better
to leave a crack of air on the house and
run a line of steam than to close the ven-
tilators tight to keep the house warm
enough without artificial aid. By keep-
in fr on a little air with heat the atmos-
phere of the house is dry and moving,
while if closed up tight the air is moist
and damping of the florets of the open-
ing flowers is very likely to ensue. With
crown buds mostly taken, I would pre-
fer a night temperature of about 50° ;
terminal buds develop in any tempera-
ture above actual freezing.

CARNATION NOTES.-EAST.

Stem-Rot.

This trouble is now due to make its
appearance if conditions have been such
as to favor its development.

The above statement may be at vari-
ance with the opinion of those who hold
that this disease is constitutional. It
is admitted that some varieties are more
susceptible to it than others, but the re-
sults of numerous experiments and close
observation have led me to believe that
stem-rot is wholly dependent on surround-
ing conditions. Nothing has been left
undone in the efforts to discover a medns
of cure, but we are still at a loss for a
remedy when a plant is once afflicted.

It was thought sterilization of the soil
would prove beneficial and perhaps elim-
inate it, but admitting a bench when

treated was free from it, as soon as filled
with field-grown plants, the soil adhering
to the roots being introduced, the soil
proper could no longer be called sterilized.

The only course left open to us is
prevention, and this can be practiced by
maintaining conditions beneficial to car-
nation growth but unsuitable to the de-
velopment of stem-rot.

Stem-rot is classed as a fungous dis-
ease and is transmitted by thread-like
spores, but we know these spores will in
time perish unless deposited where con-
ditions are favorable to their growth.
We also know these spores will remain
dormant a long time in soil and that ex-
cessive moisture is one of the conditions
needed to awaken them to activity.

Should the plants become weakened
at housing time through careless digging,
exposure of roots to sun and wind, im-
proper planting, too much spraying or
watering, very close planting, use of soil
in bad mechanical condition, maintain-
ing a damp, stagnant atmosphere, in fact

by any means that would tend to re-
tard or prevent vigorous re-establish-
ment, the first step has been taken in
the production of ideal conditions for
stem-rot to gain a foothold. To be sure,
some plants may be aflfected when brought
in, but these usually die a few days
after transplanting and cannot be said
to have been mistreated.

It is the interval betweep housing and
regular firing that this disease is to be
most vigorously guarded against. Al-
though too late to remedy any defects in
• ligging, if planted too deeply a portion
of the surface soil may be carefully re-
moved. Atmospheric conditions and sup-
ply of moisture in soil and on foliage
can be regulated, also the mechanical con-
dition of the soil can be improved, if
faulty.

Keep the air in the, houses constantly
on the move, remove all dead leaves from
the plants and allow none to decay on
or in the soil. If compelled to spray or
syringe, choose a bright morning, that
the foliage may dry soon. Give the
liouses an occasional dusting of grape
dust. Decrease the amount of water ap-
plied to the paths as rapidly as pos-
sible. Break up the surface soil fre-
quently and, above all, do not over-
water.

Should any plants become aflfected, re-
move at once, with the soil immediately
surrounding. The excavation made
should be left open a few days to dry
out, when new soil can be added and a
fresh plant inserted. It is presumed you
reserve a few plants of each variety in
pots to replace those lost from any cause.

Very little in addition to good treat-
ment can be done for the plants in close
proximity to those aflfected, although
watering for a time in a furrow made
Ijetween the rows and a liberal dusting of
air-slaked lime and powdered sulphur
around the neck of the plant is advis-
able. Geo. S. Osborn.

IFIRE HEAT FOR CARNATIONS

How soon should fire heat be given car-
i.ations. We began having light frosts
September 1.'). T. H.

During the next month a great deal of |

judgment must be exercised in regard to
firing on cold nights. Those who grow
roses or other plants which require firing
every night now, and employ a night man,
can manage much easier to have a little
heat around when it is needed than those
who grow only carnations or stock which
requires carnation temperature. Many
carnation growers do not put on a night
man until October 1 and some even later
than that. There are, in fact, usually but
few nights during the first half of Octo-"
ber when fire heat is actually necessary
in our locality, and if you will keep tab
on the weather during September you
can usually tell pretty well in the even-
ing how cool it is likely to be the next
morning.

Just how cool the houses may run
without injury depends on the condition
of the plants, etc. If your plants were
housed early and have been growing with
an abundance of ventilation they will
stand a much cooler temperature than if
they had been planted lately or if they
have been giowing very rapidly and
soft. Those who have fire heat for other
plants will do well to run their houses
about 50° through October, unless there
is a crop of buds opening, in which case
they had best be run at the regular win-
ter temperature. We do not aim to have
much of a crop on before about Novem-
ber. Houses which are not in crop will
not require such regular temperature
while plenty of ventilation can be given
and the days are bright.

As I said a few weeks ago, water,
sunshine and fresh air are the three main-
stays, of the carnation. If the weather
is bright the temperature can run down
dose to 40° in the houses occasionally
if the ventilators are open. Of course I
would not want this to happen several
nights in succession, nor would I want
it to happen with the ventilators closed.
I would rather have my houses run down
to 40° with the ventilators open than to
have them at 45° with the ventilators
closed and no fire heat. At this season
they will be down that low only a few-
hours toward morning and little if any
damage will result.

Don't make the mistake of thinking

that you can bottle up some of the heat
in the houses in the evening by closing
the ventilators tight while the houses
are warm to prevent them from running
down in the after part of the night.
There is no surer road to weak stems, soft
growth and disease than to follow that
practice. If you begin this early to de-
prive your plants of one of the essentials,
what do you think will become of them
later on when you cannot open the ven-
tilators -for a week at a time on account
of ice on the houses? Last winter a
prominent grower gave as his opinion
that the general sleepiness of the carna-
tion blooms which prevailed for some
time was caused by a lack of ventila-
tion, which was caused by the long, se-
vere winter. There is no doubt but that
this is true in a very large measure.
If we could have opened our ventilators
a few inches for several hours each day,
there would have been less complaint.
That is also largely the reason why car
nations which are grown cool will keep
longer than those which are grown warm.
The cooler-grown ones get more air.

You will lose nothing if you do have
fire heat in your carnation houses to have
an inch or two of air on all night when-
ever practicable. Of course you do not
want to do this when you have to run
several pipes to keep the temperature up
to the proper level, but there are many
nights when you can run one pipe and
an inch of air and keep the temperature
about the right mark. That will keep
the air moving and prevent it from be-
coming foul, which should at all times
be avoided. A. F. J. Baur.

PUT ON A GOOD FRONT.

"Wash all you got and hang out all ^ou^

While the camera was on hand the
other day we thought it worth while to
take a shot at about 175 feet of the
gable ends of a few greenhouses, with
oflSce in the distance, the grass plot next
the street, with some flower beds, palms,
elm trees, etc.

There are several diflferent kinds of

as revenue is concerned, but neat, tidy
and if possible ornamental surroundings
must be, to anyone in our business, a
comfort, a solace and a continued ioy.

Some florists are yet found m our
cities, where the land has become so valu-
able that they have covered every inch of
their property with glass, leaving no
room for outside embellishment. A "well-
painted greenhouse and office, with the
prettiest show of plants and flowers for
the passer-by to admire, is all they can
do in that line. Then there are others,
like this man whose place is photo-
graphed, who when building left a mar-
gin of fifteen to twenty feet between the
houses and the sidewalk and, as he retails
all he produces, the very best advertise-
ment, and the cheapest, is for him to
make his place attractive, for citizens of
all classes pass that way and it makes
an impression which, if backed up with
business principles, must tell.

There are only about three primary
principles in our business: First, supply
a first-class article; second, be polite;
third, be prompt with all your promises,
and if there is a fourth, it is advertise
judiciously, and keeping a neat, orna-
mental place is a cheap advertisement.

Sometimes you see a place like this
man's with some rough boards put up
enclosing beds of pansies or asters. That
looks too commercial. Let the place look
as if you put your flower beds and palms
there for your own enjoyment and you
will be thought all the more of. Even if
at this season your houses may contain
little that is attractive, it pays well to
put on a good front.

Of course, I am well awaie that if this
was the home of a tailor or butcher it
would properly be considered overdone,
but as it is the modest home of a florist,
it's excusable. Our elevating business is
to make the home pleasant, the grounds
pretty. Our work appeals to the best and

PRINCESS OF WALES.

Undoubtedly more Princess of Wales
violets have been planted for this win-
ter's blooming than, ever before and un-
doubtedly a great many will try them
that have not grown them before. To
those the following notes may be of
some value:

Princess of Wales does best, in my
experience, outdoors through the sum-
mer. Those who planted out their stock
in May or June will now have nice
plants but these should not be housed
too soon. I commence housing mine
at the last of September. Undoubtedly
early housing is a great detriment to
the flowering of the plants through the
winter. If housed in September, more
so the early part, the plants vnll make
a very soft growth in October and No-
vember, which will throw the plants
out of bloom and it will be into Janu-
ary before blooms begin to come again.
I think the first and second week of
October, is the best time to house them.

child and therefore, it's our duty as far
as we are able to practice what we
preach. W. S.

CALLA ELLIOTTIANA.

Now that the yellow calla is attract-
ing so much attention, as it justly should,
perhaps the readers of the Review would
like to see how calla Elliottiana looks
growing in its full strength and beauty,

The plants are then well hardened by
the cool weather, and there is little risk
of their all going to leaves, after that
date. I have not had to use any pro-
tection on mine in the field until about
October 15.

In planting in the field I plant in
rows fourteen inches apart, and twelve
inches between the plants and every
fifth row leave a space of two' feet.
Then you have your plants in beds six

feet wide and when the nights get cold
I run a plank along each side of the
bed. You have then a cold frame. I
protect them with sash, mats or shut-
ters. These all come six feet wide, so
there is not much trouble in protecting
them for winter's blooming. It is
policy to have the housing done by
Thanksgiving or before.

The Princess of Wales is a very ^ardy
violet and a great many things can be
done with it that cannot be done with
doubles. Last year I flowered a house
up to New Year's and then covered the
roof and kept the house dark and kept
it' at the freezing point until the begin-
ning of March. The covering was then
removed and the plants wete started
slowly and came in bloom for Easter.
The pick for that day was fifty blooms
to the plant. O'wing to the lateness of
Easter this year it will be a difficult
matter to have violets in bloom. I am
trying a method to see if it will not
be possible to get them. " Wif: Sim.

LAELIA ELEGANS.

During the months of August and
September, when caltleyas and, indeed,
all orchid flowers are scarce, nothing is
more useful than this beautiful Bra-
zilian Iselia. First introduced in 1865,
it has never become plentiful and its
consequent high price has deterred
many from growing it. While it is
never likely to be as common or inex-
pensive as many other laelias or cattle-
yas, it is now being offered at a very
moderate price in America and any who
may feel tempted to buy a few plants
may be encouraged by remembering that
this is one of the few orchids that
propagate readily and with the greatest
ease by cutting the plants up.

The culture of Lselia elegans is not at
all difficult. It succeeds well in the cat-
tleya house, either on a stage in a posi-
tion well up to the light, or suspended
from the roof. For compost we prefer
good osmunda fern fibre and the plants
succeed either in pots, pans or baskets.
For the strongest plants we think pots
are preferable. Anyone who can grow
Cattleya labiata or C. Trianse can suc-
ceed with Leelia elegans, for it needs no
special treatment. One good point also
in favor of it is that it usually gives
two crops of flowers and these flowers
come when orchids are in good demand,
and that orchids are increasing in pop-
ularity admits of no question.

There are quite a number of fine
named forms of Lselia elegans and in a
collection of imported plants a wonder-
ful variation will be seen. Sepals and
petals are usually white or rose, vary-
ing to carmine, and the lip rich ma-
genta^ or purple. The scapes are erect,
carrying anywhere from two to a dozen
or more flowers each, which will aver-
age six inches across. We had as many
as twenty-three flowers on a scape of
Leelia elegans Lindeni. Out of some
twenty named forms in our collection
a few of the best are: Turneri, a very
fine variety with deep, rosy pink sepals
and petals and a rich magenta lip; pra-
siata Lindeni, alba, Schilleriana super-
ba, a magnificent form; tenebrosa, a
very dark variety; paralenchos. Little-
ana and Wolstenhomei.

The extreme scarcity of this beautiful

than it is today. Our enterprising

CUCUMBERS.

Potting On and Planting.

Supplementary to my former notes re-
garding the planting of cucumber seeds,
I would recommend that as soon as the
plants are well up and have taken a good
hold of the soil, if the pots contain more
than one plant the poorest ones should be
pulled out and the strongest one left.
As they are fast growing it will ' not
take long before the pots will be well
filled with roots and a shift into a larger
size will be of benefit, as it is necessary
that the plants be kept growing freely.
If there is a likelihood of any delay in
planting and a danger of the plants get-
ting pot-bound, I would prefer to move
them up two sizes at once (into 5-inch
pots) rather than have to move them a
second time, as the roots are soft and
easily injured. An open, turfy compost
should be used for potting, a close, re-
tentive soil being unsuitable for cucum-
bers at any stage of their growth. They
should be kept in a good light situation
to avert drawing.

Though some large and successful
growers plant their cucumbers in solid
beds, or in the soil that forms the floor
of the house, I prefer benches, especially
for winter crops, as here the soil can be
kept a few degrees warmer and the roots
are better under control. Besides, the
plants are better up to the light and to
keep the foliage strong ana firm in

texture all the light procurable is needed.
A mistake is often made in giving cu-
cumbers too much soil in their perma-
nent quarters. I well remember the first
crop of cucumbers I ever planted. It
was in the spring and in a bench from
which carnation plants had been re-
moved. We forked up the soil in the
bench and worked in a liberal dressing
of well rotted manure. The plants soon
got a hold and when they got down to
business the growth was so luxuriant
that it took quite some work to keep
them trained in shape. But the principal
trouble we had to contend with was the
setting of the fruit. It was not until the
trellis was covered with growth and the
bench jpretty weJl filled with roots that
the fruit began to set freely. On visit-
ing a neighbor I found that he had the
roots of his plants confined into a space
about a foot wide and eight inches deep,
by means of boards which formed a box
running the length of the house, conse-
quently from plants set about the same
time as my own he had cucumbers ready
for market before I had procured a de-
cent set. Since then experience has
taught us to confine the roots to a more
limited space. The box idea is a good
one. A good size is fourteen inches wide
and eight inches deep. This should be
but partly filled at planting, more soil
being added as the plants require it. Or
the plants may be set in hills, using only
a shovelful or two of soil to start with
and adding more as the roots appear on
the outside of the compost. Where rot-
ting at the neck is troublesome the lat-
ter is the better method, as it insures
against any water lodging around the
neck of the plant. A rough, turfy com-
post should be used and about three feet
apart is the best distance to set the
plants. W. S. Ceoydon.

PREPARING COMPOST.

Though it will be some time before
the work of filling the benches in the

vegetable houses will begin, the present
is a good time to have the compost at-
tended to. Mbst growers will have had
the material piled up since spring, or
probably since last fall, but some may
be so unfortunate as to not have it com-
posted even now. To any such belated
ones I would say, get it together without
delay. The only way that lost time can
partly be made up for is by chopping
the material up finely and turning it fre-
quently, so as to get the different in-
gredients thoroughly incorporated. Only
thoroughly rotted manure should now be
used for the compost, as there is not
time enough for chemical action to re-
duce the excess of organic substances.

Given a fairly good soil, I do not ad-
vocate the use of bone or other commer-
cial fertilizer in the compost to be used
in the vegetable forcing houses, even if
the compost has been prepared months
ahead, but in the case of delay, where the
compost has to be mixed only a short
time before it is to be used, my advice
would be, by all means cut it out alto-
gether. Good farmyard manure I have
found to be the best for mixing in the
general compost. Some subjects, such
as tomatoes, cucumbers and cauliflower,
might be benefited by the application of
a little bone meal to the soil, but, if the
soil is fairly good, the farmyard article
is sufficient to promote a good healthy
growth, and when the maturing stage
arrives, when a stimulant is found neces-
sary, it can very conveniently be ap-
plied in the form of liquid manure.

Where the compost haa been prepared
for some time the present is a good time
to have it turned over and well chopped
up, so that all the ingredients will be
thoroughly mixed. Then it will be in
readiness for filling the benches when the
time comes. It is poor policy to leave
the soil unturned until you are ready to
fill the benches, as the soil will settle
and be beaten hard with rains. This
hardening naturally restricts the passage
of air through the soil and loosening is

necessary to insuie the sweetening of
the con^post by freer admission of air.
Besides, the soil will often become «o
hard as to render i* impenetrable by
rains and becomes too dry, in which con-
dition some of the essential chemical
properties may be eliminated to a hurt-
ful degree. Of course, there is always a
possibility of having too much of a good
thing and, in the case of frequent heavy
lains just previous to filling the benches,
some means should be provided for pro-
tecting the pile so that the soil will not
become too sodden. The best condition
in which the soil can be filled into the
t>enches is a sort of happy medium,
neither too wet nor too dry.

BOSTON.

The Market.

Generally speaking, the past week has
been a satisfactory one, stock clearing
out well in nearly every case. Hoses are
coming of better quality. For the best
grades prices have stiffened a little,
otherwise there is no change. Carnations
have sold at from $1 to $3 per 100.
Some very good blooms are now coming
inj Enchantress, Fair Maid, Queen, Law-
son and other popular sorts. The se-
vere storm of September 15 spoiled
many outdoor flowers and the output of
these has shortened appreciably, particu-
larly in the case of feverfew, stocks and
asters. The latter, where of decent qual-
ity, sell readily at from 75 cents to $1.50
per 100. Dahlias also suffered severely
from the wind and rain but will soon re-
cover. Chrysanthemums will appear this
week. Lily of the valley sells at an aver-
age of $4. Other flowers noted include
cosmos, purple gentian, white boltonia
and hunnemannia, Mexican poppy. The
latter is a fijie keeper, lasting four or
five days in water. It should be grown
more by florists. Some good gladioli
are still coming in. These have been ex-
tra good this year. Asparagus and ad-
iantum show no particuar change. Pros-
pects for fall trade are much better than
a year ago.

Various Notes.

A call at the old Park street market
the past week found a force of men
busy giving it a thorough overhauling.
The walls, ceilings and pillars are
whitened, which takes away some of the
gloom. When completed, in a few days,
it will present a clean and cozy appear-
ance. Some eighty growers, including
many large ones, will use this market
and we understand additional space can
be had when needed.

Along with the other eastern cities,
Boston got the heaviest rainfall on Sep-
tember 15 experienced for years. The
local fall was three and a half inches,
although four inches were recorded in
some parts of the state, all within a
space of eight hours, about two inches
falling from 7 to 8:30 a. m. Flowers
were badly dashed, limbs torn from trees
by the force of the wind and fruits se-
verely thinned.

James Rough, better known as Jim, of
the firm of J. Rough & Son, on Hunt-
iugton avenue, has been appointed man-
ager of the new Music Hall flower mar-
ket.

P. W. Moen, the millionaire wire man-
ufacturer, who died at Shrewsbury,
Mass., on September 14, aged 47, was a
very successful chrysanthemum exhibitor
at the Boston show last year and his
gardener had a splendid lot of plants for

this year's exhibition which will be
much missed.

Schlegel & Fottler Co. is making ex-
tensive changes in the seed store on
South Market street. They have acquired
the street floor and will in future use
that exclusively for counter trade. In
the basement they will have a large cold
storage plant for retarding liliums, lily
of the valley, etc. They report a big
demand for their pure culture American
mushroom spawn.

Samuel Neil, of Dorchester, has his
carnation houses planted chiefly with
Fair Maid, Boston Market, The Queen,
Maceo and some seedlings. He medi-
tates taking out several hot water boil-
ci-s and substituting steam.

James Wheeler was the speaker at the
Gardeners' and Florists' Club meeting
on September 20, taking as his topic
* ' Some Pertinent Questions, ' ' which he
discussed interestingly and ably.

The fall show opening on September
22 and closing September 25 will be one
of the largest ever held by the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society. The
main exhibition hall is reserved for
plants, the lecture hall for fruit, the
loggia, sides of lecture hall and hallways
to vegetables and the main- portion of
the lecture hall to cut flowers. Some of
the leading exhibitors in the plant and
cut flower classes are J. S. Bailey, A. F.
Estabrook, Lager & Hurrell, Henry A.
Dreer, Bayard Thayer, Harvard Botanic
Gardens, Farquhar & Co., Julius Roehrs
and Mrs. J. S. Gardner. A full report
will appear in next week's Review.

H. A. Stevens & Co. have five houses
devoted to carnations at East Dedham,
growing 12,000 in all. Mrs. Patten,
Fair Maid and Boston Market each fill
one house. Other sorts grown are En-
chantress, Wolcott, Lawson, Harry
Fenn, J. H. Manley and Harlowarden.
Some good seedlings are also being tried.
Plants all look first class and are now
giving a fine lot of bloom. A roomy
cellar is devoted to mushroom culture,
the pure culture spawn being used. Splen-
did crops were secured last year. Collec-
tions of phloxes and peonies are also be-
ing worked up.

The annual fair at Clinton is noted for
its fine displays of plants and cut flow-
ers. This year's exhibition was no ex-
ception to the rule. Very fine groups of
plants were arranged by E. V. R. Thay-
er, E. O. Orpet, gardener; N. Thayer,
A. P. Meredith, gardener, and J. E.
Thayer, J. F. Clarke, gardener. The
principal flowering plants used were La-
gerstroemia Indica, Campanula isophyl-
la, orchids, begonias, gesnerias and glox-
inias. F. P. Sawyer had the best flor-
ists' group, E. W. Breed being second.
The latter had the winning floral de-
sign, being closely followed by Mr. Saw-
yer. Messrs. F. A, Blake, W. S. Wind-
sor, E. W. Breed and F. P. Sawyer were
among the leading exhibitors of cut flow-
ers. Worcester Conservatories showed
fine Beauty roses. Bayard Thayer, Wm.
Anderson, gardener, had a beautifully
arranged large circular tank of aquatics.
E'. O. Orpet showed a number of seed-
ling cattleyas and an Odontoglossum Pes-
catorei carrying a spike with sixty flow-
ers, the latter grown in fine fern fibre.
James Wheeler, of Brookline. judged the
floral part of the fair.

The house of Superintendent Doogue,
of the Public Gardens, was brpken into
September 12. The thieves had a large
quantity of plate packed for removal,

but were scared away by a dog. A gold
watch valued at $150, gold fob worth $35
and some diamonds were taken.

Cattleya labiata and other seasonable
orchid flowers are making their appear-
ance in some of the store windows, as
are cyclamens, ardisias and Erica hye-
malis. Pot plant trade is dull as yet.
Cooler conditions will enliven it.

J. Horace McFarland, of Harrisburg,
Pa., has been making a short viait to
Boston friends.

Houghton & Dutton, the well known
Tremont Row dry goods dealers, held a
flower day September 17 and claim to
have distributed 100,000 roses among
visitors to their store.

The saloon of the S. S. Romanic,
which sailed from Boston for the Med-
iterranean on September 17, was a ver-
itable conservatory. More flowers were
sent to outgoing passengers than on any
steamer leaving Boston this year.

The many Boston friends of Jacob
W. Manning, the well known nursery-
man, were pained to hear of his death
September 16. A note on his life appears
in this issue. W. N. Craig.

NEWPORT, E. L

The Market.

The horse and dog shows being over,
the summer people have begun to leave
us, and business has slacked quite a
little. American Beauty roses lead the
market and the best retail for from $5
to $6 a dozen. Some very nice Kaiserins
have been offered on the avenue this
week at $3.50 to $4 a dozen. Orchids
bring from 75 cents to $1.50 each, ac-
cording to variety and quality. Valley
is always in demand. Dahlias and glad-
ioli find a fair sale at $1 to $2 per
dozen, if they are of first quality.
There is no sale for outdoor stuff that is
not the best.

Various Notes.

The storm of last Thursday morning
was the most terrific that Newport has
experienced for years. Hundreds of
trees are down all over the city. The
flower gardens were badly torn and
many beautiful vases containing val-
uable decorative plants were wrecked.

The September meeting of the New-
port Horticultural Society took place
last Wednesday evening and wag espe-
cially well attended. Final arrange-
ments for this week's show were made.

Siebrecht & Son have been doing some
very attractive dinner decorations late-
ly. For one large party they used bas-
kets of Kaiserin roses and lily of the val-
ley.

William S. Nichol, gardener to Dr.
Alexander S. Clarke, was drowned while
bathing off the shore near the Clarke
estate. Mr. Nichol was one of the best
known gardeners in the city. He leaves
a widow and two children,"

Hodgson arranged for Mr. and Mrs.
T. Shaw-Safe on Wednesday last a very
handsome dinner decoration of gardenias,

Stewart Ritchie is busy painting his
houses and otherwise getting ready for
the coming winter season. His late
planted sweet peas have done finely this
year and found a ready market at the
satisfactory price of 50 cents per hun-
dred.

John T. Allan, head gardener to John
R. Drexel, is having many inquiries from
seedsmen and others who wish to pur-
chase his new seedling begonia. This was

awarded a sihser medal last spring by
the Newport Horticultural Society. It is
of the Vernon type, but unlike the Ver-
non in that the flowers are double and of
a most beautiful cerise pink. Being very
dwarf, it has every appearance of being
a most desirable acquisition, not only
for bedding but also for summer flower
dishes for table decoration, as it is in
its beat bloom during the warm weather.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

The market shows but little anima-
tion. Saturday and Monday the usual
week's improvement was evident. Good
stock sells readily, but the mass of in-
ferior stuff overwhelms the market and
makes the average low. In another week
the first battalions of mums will be here.
Everything indicates a tremendous sup-
ply. Asters and gladioli are nearing
their end. The price of the latter has
materially advanced. Dahlias, except the
cactus varieties and the new sorts, are
practically unsalable. The prospects are
for an enormous carnation supply. Some
wonderful new varieties in red are soon
to assert their claims for precedence.
Ideal, Testout and Mrs. Morgan roses
are growing in number weekly. Violets
continue to arrive in small quantities,
but are not yet wanted, and it would be
far better policy to hold them until Oc-
tober. Geo. Saltford predicts a good
violet year and so agrees with the other
experts who have investigated personally
the prospects for the coming season. The
plants were never in better condition.

Various Notes.

The New York Botanical Garden opens
its fall lecture season on October 1. The
lectures will be given every Saturday at
4:30 p. m. in the museum building.
Prof. Hugo de Vries will be the first
speaker and his subject is "The Origin
of Species as Illustrated by the Evening
Primroses." Dr. Britton, who has been
recently in the Bahamas, will speak Oc-
tober 8 on the results of his botanical
explorations there. Other speakers will
be Prof. Lloyd, Prof. Underwood, Dr.
Murrill, Dr. Hollick, Dr. Richards and
Dr. McDougaU. The whole series prom-
ises to be very interesting.

Wednesday and Thursday of this week
the New York dahlia show at the rooms
of the American Institute takes place.
A good display is assured.

Four new houses are being erected at
Ldttleneck, N. Y., by Hitchings & Co.,
for W. K. Vanderbilt, Jr. The range
will be devoted to carnations, roses and
palms and will be very complete and ar-
tistic.

The American Bankers' Association
has been lavishly entertained by the
bankers in New York during the past
week, one feature being a banquet at
the Waldorf, the floral decorations for
which were unlimited, American Beauties
being used with lavish prodigality. J.
H. Small & Sons secured the coveted com-
mission. Wm. A. Peterson, of Chicago,
was among the visiting bankers.

At the funeral of T. Dewitt Osborn,
a prominent politician, a few days ago,
it required ten carriages to carry the
floral offerings, some of the designs be-
ing of exquisite beauty and unstinted
value. The leading BrookljTi florists se-
«!ured the bulk of the orders. Apart
from funeral work there is little doing

with the retailers, though the theaters
and schools are now in full blast and the
return of the 400 to the city has begun.

The cyclonic storm of a week ago did
considerable damage to outdoor flowers,
nothing equaling it in severity or down-
pour having occurred during the whole
season.

Not only the retailers but many of the
wholesale cut flower men have displays
of Scottii ferns in their windows. Every
week adds to its popularity.

Job. Fenrich had his first shipment of
white chrysanthemums on Saturday.

Wm. Ghormley was again at his desk
on Saturday, after many weeks of ill-
ness, and seems on the high road to com-
plete recovery.

Young & Nugent have their new front
about &iished and will have one of the
handsomest stores on Twenty-eighth
street.

John Daire is foreman for A. J. Gutt-
man, at Summit, N. J.

Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Kreshover have
just returned from a long and greatly
enjoyed European trip.

Bowling.

Last Thursday evening the Flatbush
Bowling Club had a large attendance and
enthusiastic contest. One is always cer-
tain of a welcome and a^ interesting
evening's sport every Thursday of the
year, an example to a " sister club " in a
neighboring borough it would do well
to heed if any cups are to be won at
Washington in 1905. Meantime Flat-
bush may be depended on to send a rep-
resentative team there and it has a
young "Steve" of its own by the name
of Irwin who will be heard from. The
scores were as follows:

The New York Bowling Club for the
season of 1904-1905 will be organized the
first week in October and already a
large attendance is assured, the follow-
ing nanm^aving been placed on the
roll as a roundation for what ought to
be the winning club, at Washington;
Theodore Lang, F. H. Traendly, P.
O'Mara, Julius Koehrs, Jr., W. E. Mar-
shall, Alex. Burns, John I. Raynor, J.
B. Nugent, Alex. J. Guttman, Jos. A.

H. Siebrecht and J. A. Shaw. A dozen
more are to be heard from. The club
when complete should total twenty active
members. J. Austin Shaw.

The Market.

The remarkably cool weather the early
part of the past week and a few warm
days later made trade in cut flowers both
good and bad. Most of the business
done last week was decorations for the
downtown stores, that had their fall
openings. A number of early fall wed-
ding decorations are reported for this
week. Funeral work, too, has been some-
what slow with some of us, while others
report plenty.

Regarding stock at the commission
houses, we might say that it is of fairly
good quality. It is very gratifying to

the trade that some really good carna-
tions are to be had again and from now
on plenty of these will be in the market
at cheap prices until Thanksgiving.
Really good stock can be bought for $1
per 100, more white than any others.

There is certainly no scarcity in white
and pink roses, $6 per 100 buying the
best of these. Moteor and Liberty are
not so plentiful just now. Some good
Chatenay and Camot are to be had, but
not in large lots. American Beauties are
somewhat scarce, that is, long fancy.
Shorts are abundant at $3 and $4 per
1"00. Fancies are up to $3 and $3.50 per
dozen. Valley is of extra quality at $3
and $4 per 100. Very little outdoor
stock is coming in. Asters and hydran-
geas are nearly all gone, so are gladioli
and tuberose stocks. Smilax and aspara-
gus are looking better, with plenty of
other greens in the market.

The growers report that about two-
thirds of the carnations are already
boused and that the plants are uniformly
fine and so far are free from rust and
that plenty of first-class stock will soon
be in the market.

Various Notes.

We had for visitors the past week, J.
J. Hess, wife and son, from Omaha,
Neb. They spent ten days here seeing
the sights at the World 's Fair. Mr. Al-
lan, of George & Allan, Cincinnati, and
Mr. Hunkel, of Holton & Hunkel, Mil-
waukee, also took in the sights. They
killed some little time at the big floral
clock. H, B. Beatty, treasurer of the
S. A. F., also spent a week at the
World's Fair.

Henry Ostertag had a busy week dec-
orating at the World's Fair. The dec-
oration at the Tyrolean Alps for the Na-
tional Peace Commission was one of the
most elaborate ever given at this famous
resort. A big lot of cut stock was used.

The Beyer boys had a few of those big
fall openings downtown the past week,
which kept all hands busy and made
their place look like mowing day.

Miss Schnell, of East St. Louis, re-
ports business good, with plenty of fu-
neral work at all times.

Messrs. Allen of Mississippi, Miller of
Ohio, and Betts of Montana, who are
members of the National Commission at
the World's Fair, are heartily in favor
of a grand national flower show in No-
vember to be held in the Horticulture
building. Superintendent Hadkinson is
already laying his plans in that direc-
tion.

Nathan Smith & Son, of Adrian,
Mich., have a fine bed of the dark red
caana named Express at the World's
Fair, which attracts much attention from
visitors in the trade. This bed, with
those of Kasting, Schray and Obermey-
er, of Parkersburg, all received a medal
from the judges the past week.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

The week opened auspiciously, there be-
ing marked activity among the decorat-
ors, with a fair number of out of town
orders. The dahlia is now seen in splen-
did form, the best varieties coming into
bloom with increasing freedom. Samuel
S, Pennock received 6,000 on Monday
from L. K. Peacock, of Atco, who states
that the plants have recovered from the
effects of the terrific storm of last week.

The Weekly Florists' Review

SapTBMBiut 22, 1904.

The variety Clifford W. Bruton is the
most popular sort today for shipping.
Next to dahlias, Beauties, hydrangeas and
gladioli are in good demand, also valley,
Kaiserins and carnations. Good asters sell
well, but are on the wane.

With the Decorators.

The department stores are decorating
finely for their annual fall openings this
week. J. J. Habermehl's Sons decorated
Wanamaker on Monday, while Hugh
Graham had elaborate decorations for
Lit Bros, on Tuesday and Blum Bros, on
the same day and again on Wednesday.
The first named firm decorated the new
Belleview-Stratford hotel, which opened
on Tuesday. Hydrangea paniculata
grandiflora was used in large quantities,
also dahlias, gladioli, etc. The market
was cleared of wild smilax. The Leo
Niessen Co. appeared to have a monopoly
on this commodity and could have sold
a great deal more. As announced in
the Beveew some weeks ago, the Messrs,
Habermehl have a new down-town store
in the Belleview-Stratford which is now
open.

From the West.

Edward Keid writes from Courtney, N.
D., that he is having a fine time, taking
it easy and knocking over prairie chick-
ens. He shot fourteen in an hoiir. He
reports the wheat crop in splendid con-
dition, with prices high enough to please
the farmers. He strongly advises the
retailers to buy fiour now. Mr. Eeid
has left for Spiritwood, twenty miles
away, and will be back very soon at his
post. Meanwhile A. M. Campbell is
busy shipping fine valley. Beauties, etc.,
for his firm.

Hatboro.

Eugene Weiss received a visit last
week from Charles E. Meehan and John
Mclntyre, escorted by Samuel Lilley.
They found a range of five houses
planted with Brides and Maids in solid
beds, both own-root and grafted stock
two years old in most promising condi-
tion. Several other houses in young stock
of the same varieties in benches were
looking exceptionally well, also one of
Liberty which is on trial.

A Visit to Dreer*s.

The local train was delayed outside
the city. A cab and extra money to the
cabby resulted in nearly running down
a man at Eighth and Market streets and
in just missing the last ferry boat. One
hour's wait, even in Camden, at a busy
time is not soothing, but when you finally
reach your destination and find the man
whom you disappointed at the ferry smil-
ing and pleasant, with no word of re-
proach, you feel that man is a pretty
good sort, deserving the success he has
achieved.

To get down to the subject. Phil was
honored a few days ago by an invita-
tion from Herbert G. TuU, treasurer of
the H. A. Dreer Co., whose clever head
and sound judgment have kept the con-
cern with Dun, Bradstreet and Mrs.
Grundy. After explanations from the
depressed late-comer, a tour of the place
began. Not a serious tour with note
book and solemn dissertation, but a live-
ly, jolly sort of tour as of two school
boys out for a lark. That jneans im-
pressions of a misty order, so don't com-
plain.

The houses are in excellent condition,
full of clean, healthy stock. One is not
impressed with the one-palm idea at Riv-

erton, although it was here a little over
a year ago that I first heard the sub-
ject discussed. The Dreer policy in
palms, as in everything else, is to have
plenty of all the best kinds. The stock
of Kentia Belmoreana predominated, sis-
ter K. F. coming next; a fine assortment
of home grown plants being reinforced
by some large stuff imported a year ago.
Areca lutescens seemed happy, to judge
by its appearance, and thoroughly at
home. Cocos Weddeliana filled several
houses, in 2-inch, 3-inch and, I am sorry
to say, made up three or four in a pot.
This is required by the customers, but
it seems a barbarous custom, sacrificing
the plant's exquisite grace. The stock
of this palm was in the pink of condition.
It was said that its use in ferneries is
much more general than that of Kentia
Belmoreana. A lively row over the iden-
tity of a certain block of stuff, which
both should have known, was settled by
George A. Strohlein, who was showing
a Bostonian around. A stop was made
at the saw mill, where pine boards are
being reduced to the required length for
boxes, one man being constantly in at-
tendance, with occasional help to pile the
strips. Another stop was in the tender
aquatic house where James T. Clark was
busily engaged in "fishing," his whole
soul being engaged in an effort to extract
certain denizens of the water from their
retreat. After a hearty greeting be-
tween the boss carpenter, who was mak-
ing repairs, and Mr. TuU — there is the
right spirit at Riverton — the pair were
joined, in an outside ramble by Mr.
Simm, who pointed out the beauties of
the water lilies, explaining the slight
differences between old and newer va-
rieties. The ponds made a fine appear-
ance, many showy blooms brightening the
surface.

The perennials were still a mass of
blooms, rudbeckias, helianthus and sum-
mer asters producing rich color effect.
The immense quantity of hardy phlox
planted in solid colors was a eight long
to be remembered. The plants were
small, probably the size that will be sent
out in 3-inch pots next spring, but the
blooms were enormous and of most deli-
cate coloring.

The Skinner rain system, which gives
an inch of rain in five hours of gentle
drizzle, received a practical demonstra-
tion. A look at the improved alteman-
thera showed that it was an improvement
over its parent, dnll and colorless be-
sides its progeny.

A heated argument on the relative ex-
pense of running a large and a small
place, in which Mr. Tull had all the
figures at his fingers' ends, was some-
what cooled by a gentle rainfall, the
real thing, not Skinner system. It would
never do to miss the big lot full of
perennials that Mr. Eisele was personal-
ly laying out on my last visit, now full
of well-grown stuff. Then there were
varieties of tritoma in full bloom, very
showy ; a new ampelopsis, a field of hardy
teas — I use the adjective advisedly —
that had made strong growths, and
ferns! My good gracious! What quan-
tities of ferns there were in the frames
and looking well, too. Some maidenhair
was fine.

All too -soon came train time. On the
way back through the sheds Mr. Tull
pointed out the comer where the office
used to be when Mr. Dreer and he did all
the clerical work eighteen years ago.
The present treasurer slept in a little
room over the office in those days.

Inquiry about a fine lot of tiny Dra-

caena terminalis called out a deserved
rebuke from Mr. Tull, but he quickly
softened, pointing out with justifiable
pride a particularly fine lot of buckwheat
coal, nearly as big as nut, from a special
colliery. ,

Farewells at the office were interrupt-
ed by a fiying rush of Mr. Strohlein after
a bloom of the new geranium Telegraph,
so named because the introducer 's former
employer made a discovery in that line.

The Market.

Though it can not be said to be rush-
ing, trade is nevertheless very good, and
I do not believe that anyone is complain-
ing. Many of the best flower buyers are
now returning from their summer homes
and that alone is very beneficial to the
trade, but still it's true thai real busi-
ness does not start up till the advent of
the chrysanthemum, and that will bo
about a month. Mums about this city
are looking very well, and some fine
blooms are to be expected. B. P.
Critchell, who produces some of the best
mums grown here, says that his stock
18 in fine shape and that the quality
will be fine this year.

Asters are quite scarce and much
sought after. The price is consequently
on the rise. There are more white ones
than other colors. Some extra fine tube-
roses are to be had and the price asked
for them is very low, but they move slow-
ly. Gladioli are still very good and some
extra fine dahlias sell well. Carnations
are very much as last reported and
roses likewise. The price of Beauties is
rising, though, and they are selling fine.
Some good valley is coming in. There
is a good demand for "green goods "
smilax especially. , '

Various Notes.

T. W. Hardesty is again the father of

Mr. Brooks can now be seen daily doing
the wholesale district with their smart
turnout, buying the best stock that can
be found, as that is the only kind of
goods that Mr. Jones sells.
^Vm. Rodgers is cutting some of the
best carnations that are coming into this
market. Many of them are from plants
held over the summer and they are verv
good. •'

The first shipment of carnations of
the season was received this week by E.
G. Gillett from the B. K. & B. Floral
Co., Richmond, Ind. The blooms were
fine and for so early in the season show
that this firm's stock is rapidly round-

ALBINO PANDANUS.

I. have a pandanus in which the mid-
dle leaves as they come out are a whit-
ish yellow instead of striped with green.
When they get to their full leng^ they
begin to die back. The lower leaves
are mostly a pale green. Can you tell
mo what the trouble is? H. 8. P.

From the description it is evident that
the pandanus in question (which is in-
ferred to be P. Veitchii) is an albino,
•A condition that is frequently met with
by large growers of this plant. In such
a case the leaves have not enough of the
green coloring matter to keep them in
good condition, and owing to this weak-
ness the tips of the leaves decay. There
is no real cure for such a plant, for
though the foliage will sometimes and
at some seasons turn entirely green, yet
the character of the plant has been fixed
and there will be a recurrence of the
pure white or yellow foliage as the plant
produces fresh growth. Such plants are
usually thrown away by careful growers,
as cuttings taken from them will usu-
ally perpetuate the trouble, and the only
method upon which one may rely is in
the careful selection of cuttings that
show distinct striping.

It is a common failing among varie-
gated plants to produce shoots in which
the green coloring is absent, and the
only way to avoid such a trouble is by
selecting cuttings that show the typical
markings of the variety.

The plant in question is not likely to
be changed or cured by any special treat-
ment, though a heavy soil seems less

The Market.

There has been a visible improvement
in the state of the market since last re-
port. Not only is city business more
active, but out of town customers are
buying in larger quantities. There has
also been an improvement in so far as
stock is concerned. Asters are very near
their finish and the result is a better-
ment in many other departments. Car-
nations are increasing in quantity and
improving in quality, finding a very fair
market at remunerative prices. In gen-
eral the quality is considerably ahead of
what it has been at this reason in pre-
vious years. Of course the grade is not
up to the midwinter standard, but it is
a decided improvement on what has been
in the market in recent weeks.

With some of the large growers Beau-
ties are going off crop and with others
the first cut is just coming on. There
are large supplies of the short-stemmed
material and in general there is little
diflSculty in filling orders in this depart-
ment. Tea roses are of better average
quality, but it still takes considerable
grading to supply the kind of material
necessary for the shipping trade. Neither
Bride nor Bridesmaid is in abundant
supply. Chatenay is ahead of the de-
mand and there is plenty of Liberty.

The first violets arrived Tuesday and
a few premature Fitzwygram chrysan-
themums are seen. Gladioli are about at
an end and outdoor stock now cuts lit-
tle figure in the market. There are large
quantities of "green goods" and the
demand in this department is showing
considerable increase.

Varioos Notes.

The death of Mr. Adams, of Adams &
Wertlake Co., of Highland Park, gave
the retailers considerable business. Fritz
Bahr had more than he could do, work-
ing all night Monday and being com-
pelled to call in outside helpi

ern talent. They have Dennis Murphy,

as foreman. John Lord is now with
Mr. Eisch in the wholesale store. Mr.
Lord is experienced in the New York
and Boston markets.

E. E. Pieser returned on Monday from
a two months' vacation spent in Canada.
He has some very interesting stories to
tell of the things he saw where people
live close to nature.

E. C. Amling is having his place re-
decorated preparatory to the reception
of the big chrysanthemiim cut expected
next week.

Charles Fisk reports everything lovely
on the west side. Business has been
quite satisfactory to him.

A. Lange and family returned this
week from a nine weeks' visit in Colora-
do. They made Colorado Springs their
headquarters and visited all points of
interest in that vicinity. Mr. Lange
speaks highly of the establishments of
Wm. Clark, the Park Floral Co. and J.
F. Wilcox, which he visited recently.

J. A. Budlong has returned from his
visit to Providence, R. I. He made the
trip going on his bicycle but came back
by train.

John Sterrett is now with C. \V. Mc-
Kellar and in a rhort time his son, Willie
Sterrett, will be added to the force
there.

N, J. Wietor calls attention to the
blooms of Enchantress which they arc
cutting in considerable quantity. The
stock was grown indoors all summer and
is an evidence that this treatment suits
that variety to perfection.

The Florists' Club meets tonight and
nominates oflScers for next year.

There is a new grower at Maywood,
Wm. Wichtendahl. He built two houses
during the past summer and has them
planted to the newest varieties of carna-
tions. There are now four growers in
one block at Maywood. Albert F. Am-
ling, Hugo Luedtke. Henry Wehrman
and ^^r. Wichtendahl. They all ship to
E. C. Amling.

The E. F. Winterson Co. reports busi-
ness in Dutch bulbs to have opened in
fine shape in the last few days.

Geo. Reinberg has put in seven More-
head return traps to dispose of con-
densation in his steam pipes at.d insure a
hetter circulation. Peter Reinberg put
in three of these machines early last
spring and found them to work so satis-
factorily that he has put in ten more
this season. Several other growers in

their vicinity are adopting the same de-
vice.

The daily papers are devoting consid-
erable space to the retirement of Chas.
J. Strombaeh as head gardener at Lin-
coln park. Mr. Strombaeh has been con-
nected with the park for thirty-five years
and is now given the position of con-
sulting gardener. The nevf head gar-
dener is Alois P. Frey, formerly of Hart-
ford, Conn., where he has been in the
florists' business. He has been Mr.
Strombaeh 's assistant for more than a
year.

W. E. Lynch has spent his spare mo-
ments this summer in building a ribbon
case at Hunt 's and has demonstrated his
qualifications for cabinet making. The
case holds 2,500 bolts of ribbon.

Bassett & Washburn have all their
tea roses grafted this year and Mr.
Washburn calls attention to the diflfer-
ence between their first cut this season
and the first cut when their stock was
on its own roots as a visible evidence
that the grafted stock has much advan-
tage. They cut more heavily than from
own root stock and the quality early in
the season is decidedly superior.

The Geo. Wittbold Co. reports a large
number of big decorations to be put up
in the State street stores within the next
week or two.

The Butler Floral Co. has opened a
neat store at 291 Dearborn street. The
active member of the concern is Miss
Butler, who was formerly with Fried-
man.

John Muir opened his new store at
4647 Grand boulevard yesterday, sending
out neat cards of invitation to an in-
spection of the very handsome establish-
ment. The old place on Michigan avenne
is still maintained, but is on the market.

Charlie Duerr is now located at 8e-

RICHMOND, IND.

I spent a day in Bichmond recently and
had a very pleasant visit at several of
the establishments there. At George
Gause's place everything is in fine shape,
the carnations all being planted and the
roses making good growth. He has about
the nicest bed of smilax I ever saw. A
house 14x9Q is being built for miscel-
laneous stock.

The E'. G. Hill Co.'s place is in the
usual fine condition. They were all
through benching carnations some time
ago and the plants all looked well. They
have a large planting of Cardinal. I
don't believe there are any finer mums
than theirs. Aetna rose is in fine shape
and is certainly a beauty, as is also the
rose that was named for Mrs. English's
daughter. They have a light pink rose
of a little deeper shade than Golden Gate,
the bud and flower of better shape and
the foliage the finest I have ever seen on
a rose, thick, leathery and glossy.

The B. K. & B. Floral Co. has a nice
house of mums, clean and even in growth.
Their carnations are all planted and have
started nicely. I am much impressed
with Bichmond Gem and believe it will
prove one of the best carnations sent out
in years. They have a large stock.

M. O. Austin & Co. have been in the
nursery business at Norwood, Mo., for
twelve years and have supplied stock for
numberless orchards in the Ozark coun-
try. They report prospects good at pres-
ent.

The Peterson Nursery, Chicago, has
moved the business office from 170 La
Salle street to the nursery grounds near
Bose Hill, the down-town office being
given to the landscape department, which
is a rapidly growing branch of the busi-
ness.

Ellwanger & Barry say that they
cannot too forcibly direct attention to
the rule that budded roses should be
planted sufficiently deep so that the junc-
tion of the bud with the stock is from
two to three inches below the surface of
the soil.

E. N. Stitt has purchased the J. B.
Ijaughlin nursery at College Springs,
near Shenandoah, la.

The planting season is only a couple
of weeks away and the nurseries making
a specialty of ornamental stock have a
busy time in prospect,

W. F. Schell, of Wichita, is in
charge of the Kansas horticultural ex-
hibit at the World's Fair. At his
nursery he lost much stock in the July
flood.

A GOOD lawn shrub which ia not used
as much as it deserves is the high-bush
cranberry, Viburnum Opulus. It flowers
attractively in the latter part of May
or June and in the fall is full of bright
red berries, which hang on for a long
time.

J. H. Hale, at Fort Valley, Ga., starts
the heads of his peach trees from a foot
to eighteen inches above ground. In
general, they are headed back for two
or three years after planting to make
them stocky, but the brancl^es growing
near the base of the tree which produce
the first fruit, and which the northern
peach grower usually removes to give
the tree a slick appearance, are left un-
touched until the tree is in full bearing.
It is not unusual to see a two-year-old
block with considerable fruit clustered
near the bsise of each tree, while a year
later these blanches often bear half a
carrier of high-grade peaches.

DEATH OF JACOB W. MANNING.

Jacob W. Manning, for many years
proprietor of the well known Beading
Nursery, died at his home, 134 High
street. Beading, Mass., September 16,
after an illness of several weeks' dura-
tion. He was born in Bedford, N. H.,
February, 1826, of old New England
stock. Moving to Boston in 1844, he
for several years had charge of various
large estates in that city and vicinity.
Later he was connected with the Winni-
simmelt Nursery and removed to Bead-
ing and founded the present nursery in

1854.

The Beading Nursery earned a na-
tional reputation for trees, shrubs, choice
fruits and perennial plants, Mr. Man-
ning introducing large numbers of de-
sirable plants from Europe and popu-
larizing them. He was considered one of
the best growers and authorities on
evergreens in America and was one of
the first to promote the horticultural
adornment of estates in and around Bos-

ton. He :«pent much time traveling
through thfe united States, studying hor-
ticultural effects and the laying out of
private and public grounds.

Mr. Manning joined the Massachu-
setts Horticultural Society in 1849 and
was for many years a very active mem-
ber of it, being a constant exhibitor dur-
ing nearly the whole of that long period
and winning many medals and other
premiums. His last exhibit was made
only a few weeks ago and at that time
the writer found him just as interested
in his favorite plants as ever. He served
on the American Pomological Society
with Charles Downing, author of * ' Fruits
of America, ' ' and on a number of occa-
sions received Wilder medals, the high-
est award given by that society. He was
one of the earliest and hardest working
members of the American Forestry As-
sociation, as well as American Associa-

AMERICAN SEED TRADE ASSOCUTION.

Pres., C. N. Pa^e, Des Moines. la : First Vlee-

5?fl hi' iJI\h''®^*^2' c^**-? 23rd annual meeting
will be held on the St liawrence, June, 1906.

There still remain a few acres of
onion sets to be harvested at Chicago.

Alfred Emeeich, of Vilmorin-Andriexix
& Co., Paris, arrived in New York Sep-
tember 17.

White Pearl onion sets are in brisk
demand at the south, the genuine article
bringing a good price.

Boston seed merchants report bulb
trade as very quiet to date, few counter
orders having yet come in.

The frosts of last week did serious
damage to some of the cucumber and
melon seed crops in southern Michigan.

The Michigan radish crop is ripen-
ing veij unevenly, parts of the fields
showing well filled pods, while other
parts are still in blossom.

In northern Michigan and Wisconsin
the pea growers are now busy receiving
their product from the farmers and the
milling of Alaskas and extra earlies has
begun.

It is announced that Miss Anna Hage-
mann, daughter of Wm. Hagemann, of
Hagemann & Ca.,New York, vnll be
married September 28 to Paul Kaese, of
Hamburg, Germany.

Reports from the onion growing
marshes of Ohio and Indiana are to the
effect that the crop is of excellent qual-
ity, but only sixty per cent in quantity,
as compared with normal years.

The critical time for the bean crop
ia at hand. Good sunshiny weather for
the next two weeks will help things along,
while rainy weather will spoil the sam-
ple and shrink the quantity of mer-
chantable stock.

Visited Chicago:— S. B. Dicks, rep-
resenting Cooper, Taber & Co., London,
Eng.; Otto H. E. Weis, manager David
Sachs, Quedlingburg, Germany; Hjalmar
Hartmann, of Hjalmar Hartmann &
Co., Copenhagen, Denmark.

Many of the sweet com growers feel
sure of a fairly good crop. The frost re-
ported last week did no serious damage
in Iowa and Nebraska and with ordi-
narily good weath«^ for a week or two
there seems to be no doubt but that the
crop will come up to the estimates of
two weeks ago.

The government crop report says that
of the thirteen principal clover seed
producing states, four, namely, Wiscon-
sin, Colorado, Utah and California, re-
port increased acreages, while all the
others report decreases. In Indiana,
Iowa and Colorado conditions are below
their ten-year averages, while all others
report conditions above such averages.

BLOOMSDALE SEED FARM

BRISTOL, PA.

WHOLESALE ORDERS SOLICITED

D. H. Gilbert, Monticello, Fla., has
about finished harvesting 300 acres of
water melons for seed and the crop is
very satisfactory, with the exception
of some late plantings. Deliveries will
not be short of 70 to 90 per cent and
with most varieties full deliveries.

Reports in general indicate that much
of the cucumber seed will be so light
that it will blow out when being milled
and that the outlook is not much bet-
ter for a crop than at this time last
year. In central Illinois, where the sea-
son was comparatively favorable for
the fruits yielding heavy seed, the dry-
ing out process shows the product to be
all of forty per cent light. It is thought
that the sections farther north and west
will show a much heavier percentage of
light seed.

A WELL-KNOWN observer writing from
Waterloo, Neb., September 12, said:
"Generally speaking, muskmelon crops
are very light, watermelon, pumpkin and
winter squash late and uncertain. As
for cucumber, there are some very good
crops but many others are in poor con-
dition and the yield depends to a con-
siderable extent on the length of time
before a killing frost. Early varieties
of sweet and field com will give good
returns, while the later kinds are in dan-
ger of not maturing."

A. Le Coq & Co., Darmstadt, Ger-
many, write that "the mild winter and
the fine weather we had in the early
spring were very favorable for the de-
velopment of the plants and all pros-
pects were for a very good harvest of
grass seeds this year. But it turned
out differently. In the latter part of
the spring the temperature changed al-
most every day from cold to hot and
vice versa. This, with the continued
drouth during June and July have done
much harm to the plants and the form-

CORN NOT HURT.

A, A. Berry, Clarinda, la., writes:
"The frost in this section was very
light and no damage was done to the
com or vine crops. It keeps the corn

freen, however, and there is a great
eal that will be affected more or lees
with frost, which is bound to come be-
fore it can dry sufficiently."

J. W. Eatekin, Shenandoah, la.,
writes: "Eegarding the reports of frost
m the corn belt will say we have not
had any killing frosts so far, although
we have had cold nights which were
close to It. Prospects in this neighbor-
hood are for one of the best crops of
com for seed purposes we have ever

Telegraphic reports from points in
Iowa and Nebraska are to the effect
that on the night of September 20, while
the thermometer reading was low, those
states were covered by clouds, with good
winds blowing, and frost was avoided.

THE YOUNGEST FLORIST.

Attention is called to B. G. Merritt,
of Grange, Md., as a candidate for
honors as the youngest florist owning
and operating his own business. He is
only 18 years old and, as he says, "not
being old enough to be my own legally
I have to udd a 'Co.' to my name."
It is B. G. Merritt & Co., the junior
partner being the young man's father.
They are growing nothing but carna-
tions. Last year there were 1,600 feet
of glass; this summer 600 more were
added, the young man doing all the
work himself.

Alonzo J. Bryan, of New Hampton,
N. J., is one of the successful florists
who deserves special mention because of
his youth. He is now but 23 years of
age and has been conducting his own
business for five years. He does both a
wholesale and retail business, mostly in
the line of bedding and vegetable plants,
the totals running into the hundreds of
thousands each season. Mr. Bryan has
just completed remodeling his principal
greenhouses, having replaced the roof
with much larger glass and otherwise
improved the house.

MORRI^TOWN, N. J.

A recent trip through Morristown, N.
J., revealed the fact that the florists in
that home of the millionaire are enjoy-
ing a fair share of prosperity. H. C.
Holmes is having a new entrance and of-
fice built to connect with his houses and
give him more room to attend to hia
constantly enlarging trade. The office is
connected with the range of greenhouses
by a handsome show house for palms and
flowering stock and the contract is in
the hands of Hitchings & Co. Roses,
chrysanthemums and carnations all
looked well and flourishing.

Mrs. Helton's establishment, on South
street, looked as spick and span as usual.
A large batch of mums were very nice.
The larger growing houses are located at
some distance from the store and we did
not have time to go down there, but un-
derstand that carnations and roses are
in good shape for the winter.

The real object of our expedition was
a visit to some of the new private estab-

lishments that are every year increasing
in numbers in this vicinity. Cedar Court,
the residence of O. H. Kahn, was visited
and the superintendent, Mr. Fraser, wel-
comed us most hospitably. Here we found
J. Austin Shaw dining sumptuously on
an old-fashioned vegetarian dinner of
fried chicken and corn. Possibly the
bracing country air was responsible for
Mr. Shaw's fall from grace in thus par-
taking of the forbidden food, so we will
be charitable.

Mr. Fraser has a chrysanthemum house
full of all the newest varieties and all in
splendid condition. Some of the hitherto
unbeaten champions of Morris county
will have to look after their laurels at
the exhibitions this fall, for Mr. Fraser
will exhibit quite largely. W. Duck-
ham, F. A. Cobbold, Ben Wells, Mrs.
Thirkell, F. S. Vallis and several other
kinds are simply magnificent, and we
may look for some phenomenal flowers
from this grower.

Leaving Mr. Shaw regaling himself on
plums, peaches, melons and several other
side lines we made our way to another
large estate in course of building, owned
by Robert D. Foote. Here a large range
of glass is in' course of erection, some
houses being already planted with roses,
carnations and chrysanthemums. R.
Vince is in charge and he has years of
work ahead of him before the estate will
be completed. Stock in the houses is in
fine condition, particularly the carna-
tions, and the new rose, KiUarney, is
thought very highly of. A large quan-
tity of orchids has been purchased and
will be on hand as soon as the houses
are ready for their reception. An im-

mense mansion is in course of erection,
which will take several years to complete,
and extensive Italian gardens and shrub-
beries are in contemplation.

The growth of country estates in this
section is remarkable and the indications
are that it will continue. Several other
similar places were in our mind to visit,
but an accident to the automobile delayed
us too long and some time in the future
we will continue our travels through
what is probably one of the most beau-
tiful sections of country in the eastern
states. B. B.

PITTSBURG.

The Market.

Trade the past week has been very
good. General business is improving and,
with a number of store openings, has
made a very satisfactory week's business.
McCreery & Co. opened their large de-
partment store. The event was much
like a social aflfair. On Monday even-
ing they entertained the newspaper men
and Tuesday evening the blue ribbon
crowd. Wednesday morning they opened
their store for inspection to the public.
They had the entire store decorated with
vases of cut flowers for all these occa-
sions. A. W. Smith had this contract, as
well as the Surprise Clothing Co.'s deco-
ration.

Geddis & Blind Bros, had the deco-
rations for the Jos. Home Co. The
whole store as well as the dining-room,
which occupies the sixth floor, was elab-
orately decorated with vases of Beauties,
asters, dahlias and gladioli. The same
firm has decorated Kaufmann Bros.'
large store, using laurel and plants as
well as flowers.

Various Notes.

Julius Ludwig has displayed great
taste in arranging a scrap book of clip-
pings for floral illustrations which he has
been collecting for some time. The work
is interesting and valuable as well as
beautiful.

The large mills in this section have
been piling up thousands of car loads
of coke to have on hand in case of
miners' strikes; so Fred Burki, who is
always up to the times, developed an-
other gas well for the Pittsburg Rose
& Carnation Co., which came in last Fri-
day. The well is 1,800 feet deep, with
a rock pressure of 150 pounds. This
is the third well on Crystal farm. Mr.
Burki says they have mums to cut any
time now.

W. B. Ague, the Liberty Market florist,
is giving up a portion of his time now,
acting as judge for the civic clubs in
awarding prizes for the best kept gar-
dens and lawns in our suburban towns.

P. S. Randolph, Samuel McClements
and Geo. Marshall were some of the
florists who took advantage of the fine
weather Tuesday and ran down to Bru-
not's Island to see the ponies go.

Mrs. E. A. ^Williams, who can now
boast of an entire new greenhouse plant,
has the only florists' exhibit at the
Pittsburg exposition.

Anthony Smith has returned from the
lakes full of stored up energy which
you will hear from this winter. No
one has anything on Andy when it comes
to getting business.

The visitors the past week were J. A.
Peterson, Cincinnati; A. Langhans,
Wheeling, W. Va.; Wm. Craig and E.
J. Fancourt, Philadelphia. Hoo-Hoo.

SSPTBMBBB 22, 1904.

PACIFIC COAST.

An illustration and note on Calla
Elliottiana in California will be found
on another page of this issue.

HANDLING LARGE PALMS.

There are several reasons why it is
advisable for the nurseryman to have
a lot of good-sized palms in tubs or
boxes for retailing during the planting
season as well as for growing or for
large decorations. I have found that
the public generally does not object to
paying fully twenty per cent more for
a specimen palm planted in a box or
tub than for a tree just dug from the
ground. In the first place it makes the
plant look much larger and in the sec-
ond there is not so much danger in
transplanting. I have met many men
who called themselves gardeners but who
were unable to handle a spade with
skill enough to take a palm out of the
ground without killing it.

And now a few words regarding the
beet season! and wayjs to transplant
palms. The best selling hardy sorts are
as follows: Phoenix Canariensis, Cha-
mserops excelsa and C. Napoliensis,
Brahea filamelbtosa, Washingtonia ro-
busta, Erythea edulis and Washingtonia
Bonorea. These varieties are all hardy
here. All the phoenix family are a little
difficult to transplant unless taken in the
early spring, just before their growing
season commences. It is unnecessary to
give them a large ball of earth and the
only thing to remember is to move them
into a shade house as soon as possible
after taking them up and I have found
it a good plan to tie up the foliage for
a month or so. I have taken plants
five feet high from the open ground that
were only four years old from seed and
put them in boxes each 8*8x12 inches
and retailed them at $7 to $10 each, and
to grow the same palm in a pot for the
same space of time would not give a
specimen over half that height. This is
where the advantage comes in hav-
ing them transplanted into boxes when
they are large enough to dispose of at
a good price.

Any of the varieties of chamserops
grown here can be taken up at any
time and boxed with perfect safety, but
not so with washingtonias or braheas.
There is only one rule to follow in
transplanting them and that is to cut
off all the leaves except a center one
and put in a shade house in the early
spring. In this way I have handled
hundreds without losing any. To make
an effort to keep the foliage usually
results in the plant going back. This
rule will apply to all our native fan
palms.

Certainly we handle a great quantity
of palms here that are taken from the
ground with balls of earth and sold in
that way, but there is always a risk in
handling them and I think it is more
satisfactory all around to box a few
hundred palms from the open ground
and keep them in boxes a few months
until they become salable. It does not
pay to raise a stock of palms by shift-

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

The very hot "weather of last week
has had the effect of cutting off the
aster supply and, as we are not yet
quite into the fullness of chrysanthe-
mum time, there is somewhat of a dearth
of flowers. The trade generally feels
sorry that asters are gone as they are a
most satisfactory flower. Chrysanthemums
come under the same heading and we
will all be glad when they are received
in quantity. Of course, I refer to those
grown outdoors, as we have had the hot-
house grown stock in market for several
weeks. But they do not make the
flower popular and it is only when the
masses of the people see them that they
displace everything else for the time
being.

Carnations are scarce and roses have
hardly held their own during the recent
heated spell. Some late varieties of
amaryllis are seen. Sweet peas are get-
ting very short of stem and coreopsis,
gaillardias and marigolds have "gone
where the woodbine twineth. "

Business, in comparison with that of
a year ago, is a trifle better and if the
cool weather returns, in a few weeks
more we will be well into the season
when the florists do not have to worry
as to whether they will be able to meet
expenses.

Various Notes.

Last Friday a meeting of the Cali-
fornia State Floral Society was held
and a very good collection of seasonable
•flowers was shown. E. Lich ten berg ex-
hibited about 200 different seedlings.

On the same evening the Society Hor-
tensia of Oakland had a very good ex-
hibit of dahlias and other late blooming
annuals. There was a large attendance
from both sides of the bay.

John McLaren, superintendent of
Golden Gate park, returned this week
from his European trip. O.

NEW BEDFORD, MASS.

The second annual fall exhibition of
the New Bedford Horticultural Society
was held in City Hall on September
15, 16 and 17 and was a pronounced
success in every way. The quality of ex-
hibits was much superior to that of a

vear ago. tt xt •»

' For best group of plants H. H. Bog-
ers, James Garthly, gardener, was first,
H. A. Jahn second and T. M. Stetson,
Wm. Keith, gardener, third. The last
named also secured three first premiums
in other plant classes. ^ , , ,.

There was a grand display of dahlias,
numerous classes being devoted to them.
For sixty distinct varieties arranged for
effect, W. C. Winter won the silver cup
from five other contestants. E. H. Web-
er won the cup for thirty varieties.
Other sucessful dahlia exhibitors were
F L Tinkham, J. K. Alexander, W. D.
Hathaway, A. J. Fish, J. Sullivan, Wm
Keith, H. A. Jahn, E. I. Lawrence and
others. Some sixteen dahlia classes were
also devoted to amateurs, these being
well contested. Other seasonable flowers
and fruits also made a good display.

F K Pierson Co. showed several
plants of the Tarrytown fern, which
were much admired.

The executive committee in charge of
the exhibition were Wm. Keith, A. J.
Fish and H. A. Jahn. The judges were

TORONTO.

The Market

Trade during the last two weeks has
not been up to expectations with most
of our retail men. Some, however, claim
that they are doing as much as they could
expect at this season of the year, while a
select few say they are busy. Toronto
trade is usually quiet for a week or two
after the exhibition, as most of our city
people have had to expend considerable
of their surplus cash entertaining their
country cousins during that time. This
year was no exception, as our national
exhibition was the largest in the history
of the fair and the extra attendance of
out-of-town people was very marked. We
feel indebted to W. S. for the write-up
he gave our fair. Of course, we do not
think that he was the only American cit-
izen who had similar views.

• In regard to cut flowers, roses and
carnations are still scarce and the qual-
ity nothing extra, yet we notice continual
improvement which is very encouraging.
Asters have been in great supply and
gladioli have been very plentiful. These,
with other small stuff, have helped £o
fill in for funeral work and decoration.

Among the growers, we find them to
be busy getting their stock in shape for
the winter and with most of them every-
thing looks very promising. Setailers
are renovating their stores and generally
doing their season's house cleaning.
Noticeable among these is Dunlop 's King
street store, which will be beautifully
decorated. Jay & Son are giving their
store a coat of paint. D. J.

Kansas City, Mo. — R. S. Brown &
Son will have a little more room this
season, having added an area 50x150 feet
to their glass. Business has been very
good with them, usually right up to their
facilities.

past year, and while we nave had
small plants they have shown
themselves good producers of good
quality bloom. The color has been
very pleasing and it should prove
a good commercial variety.

Very truly yours,

A. N. PlERSON.

Per W. R. P.

We have about 6000 fine Field-Grown
Plants to sell this Fall at 919 per 100;

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

■^

Septeubeb 22, 1904,

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH.

The weather conditions continue as
varied as Joseph's proverbial coat of
many colors, cloudy and cold today,
warm and muggy tomorrow, followed by
storms. The storm Saturday night blew
down not only sturdy oaks, but a ven-
tilator out at C. R. Hill's. It traveled
over into an adjoining house, while the
rain came down in torrents.

Business would be dull were it not for
frequent funerals and shipping orders.
Roses are plentiful and quality improv-
ing. The stems are much longer now.
Carnations are still scarce, very few be-
ing allowed to bloom as yet. Planting
is finished.

Alfred Hanna has just finished a new
violet house and has about finished sum-
mer repairs.

Freyling & Mendals open their down-
town store October 1. They have space
at Cole's glove store.

Charles Chadwick is scheduled for
downtown, but the date of opening and
location are not yet announced.

Mr. Thornton, of H. A. Dreer's, is in
town with wife and family. While os-
tensibly on pleasure bent, he is not
averse to booking your order for any-
thing you need in their line.

It is fair week and once again the
florists are expected to help out the show
from patriotic motives, if nothing else.
The Grand Rapids Floral Co. will do
what they can, as will Henry Smith, and
Crabb & Hunter.

Wencil Cukirski, superintendent of
parks, has laid out the grounds with a
view of planting shrubbery for the fu-
ture. He has also planted seven large
flower beds in various parts of the
grounds. This is a good l^ginning and
another year it will be continued on a
more extensive scale. G. F. C.

Bloominoton, Ind.— James Cain has
bought out the Rett Floral Co. and will
continue the business as the Cain Floral
Co.

Schenectady, N. Y. — The property
formerly owned by W. C. Eger has
passed into the hands of W. T. Han-
son and will be used for residence pur-
poses.

REMEDIES FOR RED SPIDER.

The Gardeners' Magazine, London,
gives the following formulse for red spi-
der:

As mixtures for spraying: (1) Boil
six ounces of black soap in one quart
of water for fifteen minutes, then add
four ounces of white soap in powder,
and boil for fifteen minutes. Next pour
a quart of paraflSn into a pail, add the
above, and stir thoroughly. This
"stock" might be allowed to stand for
a day or two, being stirred or churned
every now and then until a thick but-
tery mass has resulted. For use dilute
with water according to the strength of
the plants to be treated, thus: One part
of the stock to ten parts of water for
strong plants, one to fifteen for not so
strong plants, and one to thirty-five for
tender plants. It is safer to syringe
afterwards with cold water.

(2) A mixture of infusion of quassia
chips and tobacco juice is also fairly
satisfactory, but whatever spraying mix-

ture is used-^and a good douching with
soap and water is often satisfactory — ^
care must be taken that the application
is thorough, and that the under sides of
the leaves are not neglected.

Sulphur mixed with water, so that it
can be painted on the hot water pipes,
is often used in conservatories. In
this use of sulphur care must be
taken to maintain a proper moisture in
the greenhouse. Apart from the dan-
ger of this treatment, if the atmosphere
be dry, one of the great causes of the
prevalence and multiplication of red spi-
der is overheating and over-dryness.
Where "forcing" has to be done, and
the temperature is therefore high, at-
tention must be paid to keeping a moist
atmosphere.

A PARK MAN*S VIEW.

Theodore Wirth, of the park depart-
ment of Hartford, Conn., in his report
of trade conditions as state vice-president
of the S. A. F., writes as follows :

' * The cultivation of the taste for flow-
ers and decorations has become universal.
It most decidedly has, and I am bold
enough to state that the tendency of the
public in that direction is greatly due to
the influence exercised on same through
the floral displays in up-to-date public
parks and private grounds, and claim
that but a small percentage of the com-
mercial floiists of to-day, both growers
and dealers, are prepared to take advan-
tage of the demand stimulated and cre-
ated through same to their benefit. I'
do not say that the floral decorations in
our public parks and progressive private

f rounds here are better than elsewhere,
ut I know that our local commercial flor-
ists are not up to the demand, which
those displays create among the public.

"Hundreds of visitors to our parks
want to know where they can procure
that or the other plant, all easily grown
and adapted to our climate, and when
they are given the addresses of our flor-
ists they come back and say that those
florists don't grow them and don't know
them.

"Out of 200 different varieties of bed-
ding plants used in the making up of
flower beds, borders, old-fashioned gar-
dens, etc., used in up-to-date places of
horticultural interest, florists are not able
to supply, as a rule, more than twenty
to thirty varieties and those often only
in stock of olden times, run out through
propagation from year to year; the same
old story, over and over again.

"If the local florists would aim to
keep step with the times by growing such
novelties as are proven to be meritorious
introductions and which the public want,
they would to their own advantage secure
their home trade in place of forcing same
into the hands of the unscrupulous,
swindling, fake drummers, that go around
the country collecting good money for
false, worthless goods. The demand for
ornamental plants for the decoration of
home grounds, for summer and the year
around, is growing in the same propor-
tion as are all other industries in this
glorious country. It calls for the break-
ing and cultivating of thousands of acres
of ground, and the employment of hun-
dreds of industrious hands, and the
young members of our craft should look
out to produce at home all that can be
produced to fill the demand of the home
trade. It can be done and should be
done. ' '

The Weekly Rorists' Review;

SsPTSMBisB 22, 1004L

RETURNING CONDENSATION.

We have four hooaes, 32x157, at-
tached, with solid beds, steam pipes
l-ineh and 1%-inch on the side walls.
Then at right angles and overlapping
one end are three houses 20x111. At
a little distance is another house and
still further on two more detached
houses of the same dimensions, and on
a line with the rest. The boiler shed
is in the right angle where the two
ranges overlap. The boiler is under-
ground but I want to raise it to the
ground level and add another to it. At
present the water is trapped back but it
does not return satisfactorily from the
farthest houses, although there are six
feet drop in 300 feet. The flow is
2%-inch and the return 1%-inch, with
pet cocks on all pipes. What is the mat-
ter with the return! How would you
locate the boilers? S. J. P.

The present location for the boilers is
probably as good as any. Wherever pos-
sible to place boilers low enough below
returns to secure the return of the water
by gravity, the working of the system
will be more satisfactory. If the boilers
must be placed above ground, the con-
densation can be drawn from the pipes
into a hot well and returned to the boil-
ers by means of a small steam pump
driven by a small boiler carrying fifty
or sixty pounds pressure. The exhaust
steam from this pump can be utilized for
heating a small house or potting shed
and the condensed water allowed to
waste, as it would not be permissible to
discharge it into the general heating
system on account of the oil from the
pump. If a pump is undesirable, the
water can be returned to the boilers by
means of traps, but they are more or
less unreliable. The failure of the water
to return from the detached houses is
due, partially at.least, to the friction of
steam and water in the long lines of
pipe. Increase the size of the pipes,
grading the pipes carefully to avoid
pockets, also avoid the use of check
valves, and the water will return more
freely. L. C. C.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

Skptembbr 22, 1904.

BALTIMORE. --^-..

Business continues to improve, but we
still hear some complaints. The grow-
ers are mostly ahead of last year in the
amount of production and the increase in
supply is more than the increase in de-
mand ; therefore, with better business, we
still have a greater surplus on the whole
than the corresponding time last year.

A wind and rain storm approaching
a cyclone visited this section last Wednes-
day and did much damage to outdoor
stock. Maman Cochet roses were done
up baldly, but they seem to have revived
and again they are coming in quantity
and of good quality. This rose is largely
depended on here for the summer months.
It could well be dispensed with now, as

f:ood stock of most all kinds is being cut
rom the houses. Maids, Gates, Kaiserins,
Meteors, Cardinals and Brides go at $3
to $4 per 100 for best stock, shorts at
$2 per 100. Cochets bring $1.50 to $2.50
per 100, Perles $2 to $3. Carnations,
outside, 60 cents to $1 per 100; inside
carnations, 75 cents to $1.25.
' C. Akehurst & Son are sending in
some fine Flora Hill and Genevieve Lord.
Dahlias were damaged somewhat by the
recent storm, but are all right again.
The better varieties move fairly well.
Asters are about over, J. E. Bartell be-
ing about the only one to hold out this
late. He still has a fine patch which are
readily sold on arrival at the Exchange.
Mac Richmond, late foreman for Hal-
liday Bros., has accepted a position in
the Agricultural Department at Washing-
ton. Before leaving he was tendered a
banquet by his friends and members of
the Gardeners' Club, at which time he
was presented with a fine carving set, also
a handsome gold watch from his late
employers. Mr. Richmond has the well
wishes of the entire craft. A. F.

Centralia, III. — A. W. Webster is
remodeling his greenhouse and putting in
an ornamental tile street front.

Galesburg, III. — E. R. Gesler, of Ges-
ler & Drury, has gone to Pecos Valley,
New Mexico, to look up the prospect of
running a nursery business. Mr. Gesler
suffers from rose fever and expects to
permanently locate in the valley. H. F.
Drury will continue the business here.
This firm has 42.000 square feet of glass
and has one of the best equipped plants
in the state.

Freshly Imported Azaleas.

Last week I had something to say
about azaleas that had been summered
over. The new importations will soon
be arriving. They are almost all grown
in beds in the open ground in Europe
and, what with their wonderful prepa-
ration of soil and splendid care, they
arrive here with large clumps of roots,
larger than we can conveniently get into
a proper size of pot and look well. For
instance, a plant with a head fifteen
inches in diameter would look over-
potted in anything larger than a 7-inch,
but you can, with a big, sharp knife
or hatchet, reduce the ball of roots con-
siderably without doing any harm to
the plant and you can do this with all
sizes, so that they will go into pots that
will be in suitable proportion to the
plant.

Frequently the ball of roots will be
found quite dry when the case is opened,
although we must admit they are al-
ways excellently packed, whether they
are dry or not. After you have trimmed
the roots, dip the ball in a tub of water
for a few seconds or until it is thor-
oughly wet through. Tlien pot firmly.
As there is little room between the
ball of roots and the side of the pot,
there is a good excuse to use a blunt
stick to firm the new soil.

A light loam for one half and the
other half leaf-mold is as good a com-
post as you can give these finely rooted
plants. If you use any manure, let it
be thoroughly decayed. I have seen
azaleas root very finely into well
rotted refuse hops, but they will do very
little rooting, whatever you give them,
for some months. Put them in a cool
house and syringe occasionally for the
first week or two.

Moving Herbaceous Plants.

The coming two or three weeks is an
excellent time to transplant almost all
our well-known herbaceous plants. As
is often remarked, you can only get at
an herbaceous border at the time of
planting except with a top dressing, and
therefore it cannot be too deeply dug or
too heavily manured.

The herbaceous plants that are profit-
able to a commercial florist as cut flow-
ers are very limited, but there is an
ever increasing demand for them by our
customers, particularly that class who
have summer cottages on the lake or
river shore or at the thousand and one
summer retreats where our people of
means very sensibly nowadays prefer to
spend their summers.

All herbaceous plants, even if as
hardy as a peony, should be protected
with leaves, stable litter or evergreen
boughs after winter sets in. They are
not established and, if they were, we
rob them of their natural protection,
their own withered foliage and the
leaves of the forest where, or near the
margins of woods, most of them are
native.

Easter Lilies. ,j,i(.,,t'.j'^

The Bermuda bulbs that were received
in .July have come along nicely, devel-
oping less disease than formerly, but still
they are not of that uniform quality we
used to get a dozen years ago. As soon
as they made a growth of a few inches in
the cold frame they were removed to the
houses in batches and by this time all
are growing and on the road to flowering.
The fact that these early forced bulbs
spread their flowering time from the end
of November until the end of January
is no disadvantage to the grower, who
only forces a thousand or two, for you
want these indispensable blooms every
day.

There is nothing to do from now on
but give them a night temperature of
60 to 65 degrees and keep them free of
their chief enemy, the common green
aphis. When once the buds are visible
the fly is easily kept down by fumigat-
ing, or, better still, by the slow-burning
tobacco dust, which spreads plenty of
nicotine through the house without the
deleterious effects of dense, hot smoke
which arises from burning tobacco stems.
By the way, having used this method of
burning the dust in two pie dishes in a
rose range all last winter, we noticed
not the slightest injury to the roses,
while without a doubt the dense smoke
from stems does injure the opening buds.

Some growers still depend on the Ber-
muda bulbs for Easter. Remember this
great florists ' day is very late next spring
and the plants intended for Easter can
remain in a cold frame for another six
or seven weeks, but protected from heavy
rains or hard frost.

The Japanese bulbs are again late in
arriving. Perhaps the Marquis Oyama
has most of the gardeners on the west of
the Yalo. It is generally understood
that the principal object in forcing the
Japanese bulbs is to get them well root-
ed before bringing into the house. There-
fore a cold frame is the place for them
until at least the first of December, un-
less we get such an early and severe
winter as the last. We have never found
any trouble in getting the Japanese
lilies into flower, even when Easter came
in the first days of April. The coming
spring you have three weeks more. Gret
them well rooted before any forcing is
done and then they will endure and
thrive in a good brisk heat. As you
will have plenty of room on the benches
by the time these lilies need bringing in-
doors, put them at once into the pot in
which they are to flower.

Deciduous Trees and Shrubs.

After the first hard frost, or if that
does not come, by the middle of October,
the time has then arrived for planting de-
ciduous trees and shrubs. Early spring
may be the surest time, but we know
how short that season often is. You
need not wait for the dropping of the
leaves. Pull them off. I don't recall
any shrub that is really hardy in our

northern states but what can be trans-
planted iu the fall. If it is a great, big,
overgrown shrub and in digging has
lost most of its working roots, it may
not survive and would not at any sea-
son.

The great majority of shrubs should
not be over two to three feet high when
planted for your customer. They will
want something bigger, but your elo-
quence should convince them that it's
better in every way to start with a
small, compact shrub. If such are
planted then you can defer any pruning
until spring. They are pretty sure to
be quite a little winter-killed and will
need pruning then, whether killed back
or not.

There are a few exceptions to fall
planting and better left until spring.
Among them are the althaeas, the African
tamarix and the Prunus Pissardi and,
with us, most decidedly the hybrid per-
petual roses, whether budded or on their
own roots. This may not be good ad-
vice for those south of Philadelphia,
but north of that the H. P. rose is only
just hardy and runs an excellent chance
of being killed root and branch if
planted in the fall. I always say:
"You had better defer planting the
roses until spring. They will be no
show or pleasure to you this winter and
I may as well take the risk of losing
them." That advice is always followed
and the writer is no more a philan-
thropist than the rest of you.

You will be asked to plant some
hedges this fall. Two shrubs you can
plant with safety. They are Berberis
Thunbergii and the English privet. In
fact, the former you can plant, it seems,
any day in the year that you can get
a spade into the ground. The English
privet is absolutely hardy in our most
northern states. The California privet
was cut to the ground all over the north
last winter and cannot be recommended
with safety, fast growing and beautiful
though it is. William Scott.

RED ANTS.

Can you advise us as to what we can
use to exterminate the common red ant?

T. S. C.

We have never seen ants in the violet
house where we used the hydrocyanic
acid gas to kill the brown aphis. Yoii
may be afraid to use it, but if used ac-
cording to formula published in the
pages of the Review last winter, it is
harmless to any plant. Briefly it is
this: One pint of water, one pint sul-
phuric acid and two and one-half ounces
of cyanide of potassium (a deadly poi-
son) and leave the ventilators shut all
night. The above quantities are for
every 2,000 cubic feet of air space in
your house.

Granulated sugar with enough Paris
green to only very slightly color the
sugar is also used to give ants their
last supper. Put it on chips and re-
move when you water or syringe. This
is also a good mixture to destroy sow
bugs. W. S.

ASTERS AND GLADIOLL

I would like to know when to sow
asters and gladioli for early spring in-
side flowering and what varieties of
same to use. L. F. W.

benches under glass sow early in Febru-
ary. In the writer's opinion there is
not much profit in asters under glass,
except for a very early crop. They can,
with plenty of water, be grown just as
fine outdoors and under glass in July
and August it is hard work to keep the
thrips off them. Foi* several seasons

it has been the late asters that paid.
In August they are a drug. By the
end of September they are fought over.
Of course L. F. W. meant plant
gladioli, not sow them. There is not
much gained by planting them on the
benches before the middle of January
because they won't start. W. S.

sert in your carnation notes the fact
that Prof. Hasselbring, Department of
Botany, University of Chicago, Chicago,

nation plants mailed to his address to

CARNATION NOTES.-EAST.

Various Diseases.

That most dreaded disease, stem-rot,
was discussed last week but there are
other ailments which, while not neces-
sarily fatal, are of sufficient importance
to demand attention, as they are a hin-
drance to the best development of the
plant. If we are to bring out the ca-
pabilities of a variety and desire to
propagate for another season, the
healthier the plants, the greater the de-
gree of success.

Rust is a disease which may crop out
on almost any part of the plant but gen-
erally shows first on the lower leaves.
When this affection first made its ap-
pearance in this country, much alarm
was felt and many so-called remedies
were tried but none has proved either a
preventive or a cure. Unlike stem-rot,
when a plant becomes affected, it is not
beyond help but can be so handled as tc
eventually be a source of profit.

Rust being a constitutional disease
makes it imperative that it be so treated.
Local treatment is a help in preventing
a spread of the disease but to reach the
seat of trouble, the vigor of the plant
must be brought to such a degree as to
throw off or outgrow the disease.

Local treatment consists in removing
all affected parts and burning them, af-
terwards dusting with grape dust and
spraying with Bordeaux mixture or salt
solution to destroy the many mites cling-
ing to the foliage, awaiting a chance to
enter.

These mites and germs of other dis-
eases find an easy means of entrance in
the punctures made by aphides and other
insect enemies; hence the added import-
ance of keeping the plants free from in-
sect pests.

No effort should be spared to keep the
plants growing vigorously. This may
mean the addition of fertilizer, if the
soil is partly exhausted or deficient in
some element. Many times the addition
of air-slaked lime is all that is needed
to render the elements more available.

The working in of the lime also lightens
up the surface soil and admits air.

Extreme care should be used in wa-
tering and spraying, that the bluish
bloom on the foliage may not be re-
moved.

Other diseases to be commonly met
are bacteriosis, common spot, fairy ring
spot and fusarium leaf spot. Although
different in nature, the effect of each is
similar in appearance of affected foliage
but, not being constitutional diseases,
they are more easily overcome or guarded
against.

The same treatment as recommended
for rust, particularly the encouragement
of vigorous growth, is advisable. The
removal of affected leaves is important
in all diseases. The work may be labor-
ious but it is obvious that to leave this
objectionable matter, teaming with fun-
gous spores, to decay on the plants or
soil, is only to invite further recurrence
of the trouble. Geo. S. Osborn.

RUST.

What is the cause and cure of rust
on carnations? J. V. L.

Not many years ago carnation grow-
ers dreaded the carnation rust even
more than they did stem-rot, and under
the prevailing methods of culture it
was something to be dreaded. If a va-
riety was disseminated which was
known to have rust, it was sure to have
a short career. We have learned to

avoid it now, however, and we do not
dread it as we used to. If a new vari-
ety has the earmarks of a good com-
mercial sort, we would not think of let-
ting a few spores of rust stand between
us and the variety.

The one thing to bear in mind is that
these spores will remain dormant as
long as they are dry. That will tell
you to diminish your syringing to just
what is absolutely necessary to keep
away red spider. Syringe only on bright
days and then do it early in the day,
so the plants will dry off before night.
Do all you can to help the plants to
make a strong, sturdy growth, so they
will be able to fight off the disease.
Do not allow any checks to occur at any
time. In case of a damp, rainy spell,
you can blow some air-slaked lime with
a little sulphur mixed with it (about
one-quarter its bulk) over the plants,
just like you would on roses to stop
mildew. If you have steam heat drop
a pinch of sulphur on one of the pipes
about every ten feet once each week.
Don't make this too strong, though,
else it will take the color out of the
blooms, especially the pink ones. It is
a good plan to have the ventilators open
.an inch or so, anyway

A. F. J. Baub.

FUNGICIDE FOR RUST.

Please let me know some good fungi-
cide with which to spray carnations for
rust, and how often? L. F. W.

I think it is agreed among expert
carnation growers that fungicides or
solutions of any kind had little to do
with the almost total disappearance of
rust. Bordeaux mixture was for years
the supposed standard remedy. Other
growers later have believed that salt
and water was very efficacious. Perhaps
it is, but the best antidote of all is
the proper condition of the atmosphere
and soil, and that I must leave to Mr.
Baur or Mr. Osborn. By cleanliness,
plenty of pure, fresh air and no spray-
ing of the foliage after the first few
days of planting, we have seen little if
any rust for the last five or six years.

W' S.

FIRING AND VENTILATION.

Frost has occurred in many sections
and some attention is necessary to keep
the temperature from falling too low
in the houses. The air should be re-
duced in the evenings and when the in-
dications are for frost leave on only an
inch or two of air and run a little
heat through"" the house. Growers heat-
ing with steam have a big advantage in
the early fall as a single line of heat
turned on, while it will not raise the tem-
perature to any appreciable extent, will
still furnish enough live heat to keep
a moving atmosphere in the house. If
oi:e has only 4-inch hot water pipes it
will take more firing to produce the de-

sired result and the additional heat may
necessitate leaving more air on the
house. A niglit temperature of 45° to
50° is plenty warm enough and if there
are no early crown buds in the house
it may go even lower without any detri-
ment. Where only late flowers are
wanted, and terminal buds are setting,
the houses should be kept very cold and
any temperature short of actual frost
will be quite safe ; in fact, the only way
to hold back flowers is late planting, tak-
ing the terminal bud and a temperature
as low as possible.

The early kinds that are fast develop-
ing will, I think, have a good sale this
year, owing to the severe frost that has

already visited a good part of the coun-
try. Last year asters, dahlias and such
like plants were still in their glory
through a good part of October, but this
year, in my section at least, they are al-
ready cut down. A few years ago the
early kinds were a valuable asset and
we have got $5 per dozen wholesale for
Merry Monarch that were not really worth
half that sum. But for the past three
years the early kinds did not pay because,
with all the outside stock still in flower,
there was no call for them to fill a
breach. This year, by the anxious in-
quiries as to when flowers will be ready
for shipping, it looks as though the man
who still had faith in the early varie-
ties will meet with his reward.

October Sunshine and the white and
pink Pacific should be about ready to
cut in a week. One of the novelties,
Merstham Yellow, is also showing indi-
cations of being a fine early kind. From
a bud taken the first week in August it
is developing a very fine flower that will
be ready to cut by October 8. It is a
very fine yellow, much on the lines of
October Sunshine but a dwarfer grower
and much finer flower. Later buds are
just showing color and look equally as
good as the earlier ones. Coombes, Alice
Byron, Bobinson, Halliday and several
others are showing color, and it is now
but a short time before the season will
be on in full swing.

Growth is very fine throughout the
country generally this year, particularly
of the newer kinds, and I look for big
exhibits and strong competition at all
the big shows in the east and the pres-
ent indications are that the commercial
grower will make more money on his
mums than he has for years past, and
more particularly on the kinds flowering
in October. Brian Boru.

CHRYSANTHEMUM SOCIETY.

President Herrington has announced
the committees to examine seedlings and

sports on dates as follows: October 8,
15, 22 and 29, November 5, 12, 19 and
26, 1904. Exhibits to receive attention
from the committees must in all cases be
prepaid to destination and the entry
fee of $2 should be forwarded to the
secretary not later than Tuesday of the
week preceding examination. The com-
mittees are as follows:

New York: Eugene Dailledouze, chair-
man; C. H. Totty, Wm. Plumb. Send
exhibits care of New York Cut Flower
Co., Sixth avenue and Twenty-sixth
street.

Philadelphia: A. B. Cartledge, chair-
man; John Westcott, Wm. K. Harris.
Send exhibits to 1514 Chestntfk street.

Boston: E. A. Wood, chairman;

HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUMS.

I send a piece of a plant of a hardy
chrysanthemum and would like to know
what the trouble is with it.

H. & C.

The branch of chrysanthemum sent is
covered with a growth of cuscuta (dod-
der) one of the worst of weeds on ac-
count of its parasitical character, its
long twining stems climbing over other
plants and drawing the life or sap for
its own nourishment. . It is not par-
ticular but will take hold of almost any
species of plant and if not disturbed,
the plants will finally perish.

SPLENDID HYDRANGEAS.

Everyone knows that beautiful shrub.
Hydrangea paniculata grandiflora, but
everyone does not have an opportunity to
see such a specimen as can be seen in
•lamestown, N, Y. There must be some-
thing in the soil of Jamestown that ac-
counts for this, because the specimen
illustrated, although perhaps the best we
noticed, is by no means unusual. Grand
specimens adorn the lawns of many resi-
dences of this picturesque city. The gen-
tleman standing by the side of the bush
is not on exhibition. He is one of the
ilepartment managers of the mammoth
Lake View Rose Gardens, by name Alex.
.1. Scott. His height (six feet) and
width (unknown) will give you a better
idea of the size of this bush than fig-
ures. Yet in the latter days of July we
saw and roughly measured the height and
spread of this beautiful shrub. It is
about eleven feet high and fifteen or six-
teen feet in width and perfect on all
sides.

If you, reader, can grow hydrangeas
like this one, what more beautiful object
do you want? We can't grow them in
Buffalo, or we don't. This shrub should
never be mixed up with other shrubbery.
A large bed or group of them has a fine
effect and can be given special treatment.

But if your soil will grow them as does
Jamestown, then a single specimen is
grand enough.

I think why we so often see this hy-
drangea stunted or straggling is that we
simply starve it, both for food and water.
All the hydrangeas, as their name im-
plies, are heavy drinkers and the soil,
unless naturally rich and on gravel,
should be liberally supplied with manure
at planting time and every spring a

heavy mulch spread around the surface.
One other point. Every spring prune
back all last year's growth to three or
four eyes. As they had 30° below zero
in Jamestown last winter, this Japanese
shrub or dwarf tree is not very tender
and then, again, you may say its bloom-
ing season extends from the end of
July until winter snows give it a shel-
tering blanket of the "beautiful."

DECORATIVE SCHEMES.

Pillar Decorations.

Among the separate architectural fea-
tures that form a part of a floral dec-
oration as a whole are mantels, mir-
rors, staircases, doorways, chandeliers,
arches, pillars, windows, walls and
ceilings. While a decoration as a
whole should be connected and uni-
form, it is much easier, both for illus-
trative and descriptive purposes, to
treat each feature separately. The il-
lustration for today is a small detail
of a wedding decoration, the mantel
and mirror portion of which were pre-
sented in the Review some time last
year and treated under the subject of
"Drapery Studies." This pillar was
some distance in front of a mantel in
front of which the bridal party stood.

As is easily seen, the only decoration
attempted for the pillar is a smilax
garland, the main part of which con-
sisted of three strings of smilax sepa-
rated at the heavy ends so as t« make
the garland nearly uniform in thick-
ness. In short, we have one long
string of smilax equal in length to
three ordinary strings. Fasten with
tiny wire >vrappingB easily concealed
among the foliage. At the point where
the first two strings come together at-
tach the heavy end of a third string
for a side garland, and a little lower
down attach a second branch garland.
Fasten the upper end of the main gar-
land to the middle of a wire long
enough to encircle the top of the pillar
two or three times. Wrap and tie the
wire tight enough to hold the garland
around the pillar, but not tight enough
to scratch its finish. One ought to be
careful of these wire ends. In most
cases they should be gotten out -of
sight, but here it is best to let them
project outward from the pillar, as
being so high up as to be out of sight
and harmless.

Start the main garland downward
as is shown on the right side of the ac-
companying illustration. When more than
one-third of the way down, direct in a
curve across the front of the pillar,
thence back around the opposite side
to a point immediately under the first
turn; then let the end of the garland
fall to the floor easily toward the left.
Of course th6 garland will hold itself
in place to the last point from which
it falls to the floor. Attach here one
end of a piece of No. 36 wire about a

foot long; wrap in under the foliage.
Carry the wire straight across the pil-
lar to the left until it strikes a point
on the lower branch garland as it
hangs. Attach it at the most conven-
ient point and fasten the wire. Cover
this last wire with a little spray of
smilax. Train the upper branch gar-

Smilax on a Pillar.

land similarly on the other side of tiie
pillar, and the whole web will hang
together of itself. Here and there on
the main garland pull out a delicate
spray and catch it somewhere around
the pillar. Let the most of this be
done toward the upper part. Occa-
sionally allow a loose spray to fall
where it will.

It will.be noted that the top of the
garland is started below the capital.
This is usually the most ornamental
part of the pillar, where the design
shows much of the architect's skill.
Do not cover this up. Let the tempo-
rary decorations rather catch the idea
of the architect and carry out the lines
of design instead of proceeding inde-
pendently. The draperies to the right,
left and back of the column in this
illustration are the connecting lines of
the rest of the decoration, and do not
belong to the pillar design especially.

Where the heavy part of the decora-
tion is at the bottom of the pillar and
becomes lighter as the top is reached,
good use can be made of galax. Braid
the stems of galax leaves in a single
strand, having the leaves touch, base
to tip. Fasten the tip end of the gar-
land around the base of the pillar in
the same way as the smilax garland
was fastened at the top of the other
pillar. Start the garland around the
pillar, the first circle being made close
to the floor. Continue wrapping, cov-
ering the surface of the pillar solidly
till about one-half of the height is
reached. Make the next round slight-
ly apart, and continue widening the
distance toward the top. Bronze galax
leaves or green would do just as well.
WUth this decoration also there need
be no tacking or scratching.

Garlands of one kind or another
seem to be the most natural pillar dec-
orations, but where there is space to
spare blooming plants or a circular
bank of long-stemmed flowers, ferns or
other foliage may be employed to ad-
vantage. Fill in the bank with sphag-
num, stem the flowers and foliage, as
is done for a basket, and insert the
longer, stiffer stems up against the sur-
face of the pillar all around. Set the
shorter stems and the drooping flowers
around the outside. If the tall ones
are disposed to droop very much, tie
around the pillar with wire, as was done
with the garlands. In order to make a
good display the banking should be
run up three or four feet. Use no
trimmings at the top of the pillar for
such a decoration as this.

GLOffiE DE LORRAINE.

I have quite a lot of Begonia Gloire
de Lorraine which are affected with
mealy bug. How is the best way to
destroy them without injuring the
plants? Would you also tell me through
the Review what plants are the most
easily injured by fumigating with to-
bacco? Boston.

We haven't been troubled with mealy
bug on this beautiful plant. Kerosene
emulsion is one of the best remedies for
this pest, but at this time of year this
begonia is growing fast, the leaves are
soft and I would advise trying it only
on a few plants to see how it works.
The following formula is that of W. N.
Craig, who is posted on all fungicides
and insecticides:

Dissolve one-half pound of hard soap
in one gallon of boiling water. Add
two gallons of kerosene and churn well
with a pump for a few minutes. Use
a wooden or earthen vessel. Dilute fif-
teen times before applying. That means
dilute in fifteen times as much water,
but for the begonias you had better
dilute thirty times.

I would, however, prefer to use just
plain water, finely but sharply applied
with syringe or hose. You cannot do
this by syringing the plants on the
bench, but they are worth taking one
by one and laying on their sides and
simply knock off the bugs.

The ordinary greenhouse commercial
plants that are injured by tobacco
smoke are not very numerous and 1
have often thought and expressed my
belief that plants, like ourselves, get
inured to tobacco. All florists know
that a heavy fumigation will injure
many things, while a mild fumigation
three successive nights will do no harm
to the great majority of plants.

Heavy smoking will injure azaleas.
It turns the foliage brown. A mild
fumigation will often bum the foliage
of the heliotrope and Astilbe Japoniea.
None of the more delicate ferns, par-
ticularly Adiantum cuneatum, should
be subjected to smoke at any time.
That's about all the plants we cover
up if in a house where smoking must
be done.

Smoking will also make the petals of
some flowers drop, especially the single
pelargoniums, both the show and zonal
varieties. In conclusion, smoke often
and mildly. Although I have mentioned
but a few that show you plainly how
much they are injured, may there not
be many more that are stunted and
hurt by a heavy fumigation, although
their injury is less apparent? W. S.

THE PROBLEM OF HELP.

To the judicious selection of help can
be ascribed the success of many of our
larger establishments and the executive
who makes this branch a particular
study is sure of his reward.

The ability to fill the position can
only be judged by the character of
previous work and we have in a great
measure to rely on evidence furnished
by previous employers. The duty of giv-
ing a departing employe a certificate is
a very onerous one and to be truthful,
honest and conscientious to both him
and his prospective employer calls for
the exercise of great tact and care so
that neither may be injured.

Floral Urn, made by Joseph M. Smely, Aurora, IlL

It happens too frequently that when
a really good man wishes, for reasons
satisfactory to himself, to make a
change and notifies his employer of his
intention, that, instead of taking the
notice as a business proposition, the
employer makes of it a personal issue
and, allowing his feelings to sway him,
can and often does injure the pros-
pects of a deserving man and also incurs
the risk of making a life-long enemy.

On the other hand there are em-
ployers who are so charitable and good
natured that they have not the vim to
call a spade a spade but give each and
everyone of their hands a good card
on their departure, when in many cases
they are thankful to see them depart.
This of course is very unfair to the
trade and leads to serious results when
such men, on the face of their cer-
tificates, are given positions of trust.

Every employer who has the interests
of the craft at heart should exercise
the greatest care and eliminate all
personal feelings and considerations
when recommending employes, so that
the really good men may derive some
benefit from former service and good
conduct and that the incompetent, care-
less or drinking workman may be un-
able to foist his services on an unsus-
pecting employer to the detriment of his
stock and the reputation of his place.

The proper management of help re-
quires sound judgment, impartiality and
the elimination of all personal feelings,
treating each man according to his
merits, discriminating in favor of those
who by their energy and care show
that they have the interests of the
place at heart and have a pride in

their profession and are not merely
putting in so many hours per day to
enable them to draw their pay.

EJraployers can greatly add to the ef-
ficiency of their help by taking an in-
terest in their welfare, studying their
wants, aspirations and ambitions and
directing them in their studies. See
that they are decently and comfortably
accommodated in regard to rooms and
board and, above all, be prepared to pay
on pay day. Show them that you are
interested in them, inspire a spirit of
good-fellowship and this will call forth
the best of service.

Discourage all tale-bearing or favor-
seekers and if any of the help by rea-
son of bad habits or objectionable tem-
perament makes himself distigreeable
to the others, make no scruple about
dismissing him, as discipline cannot be
maintained under such conditions and
where friction exists some of the duties
are certain to be neglected or performed
in a very perfunctory manner.

A systematic apportionment of the
work so that each one, from the sec-
tion foreman to the errand boy knows
his duty, and a careful supervisor who
knows neither fear nor favor and who,
like Caesar's wife, should himself be
above suspicion, are essential to the well
being of every establishment and will
without doubt gain for it a good name
and attract enterprising men to its
service. The result will be financial
sviccess. RiBES.

change and notifies his employer of his
intention, that, instead of taking the
notice as a business proposition, the
employer makes of it a personal issue
and, allowing his feelings to sway him,
can and often does injure the pros-
pects of a deserving man and also incurs
the risk of making a life-long enemy.

On the other hand there are em-
ployers who arc so charitable and good
natured that they have not (he vim to
call a spade a spade hut give each ami
everyone of their hands a good card
on their departure, when in manv cases
they are thankful to see them depart.
This of course is very unfair to the
trade and leads to serious results when
such men, on the face of their cer-
tilieatcs, are given positions of trust.

Every employer who has the interests
of the craft at heart should exercise
the greatest care and eliminate all
personal ft-elings and considerations
when recommending employes, so that
the really good men may derive some
Ijonefit from former service and good
conduct and that the incompetent, care-
less or drinking workman may be un-
able to foist his services on an unsus-
pecting employer to the detriment of his
stock and the reputation of his place.

The pro[)cr management of help re-
quires sound judgment, impartiality and
the elimination of all personal feelings,
treating each man according to his
merits, discriminating in favor of those
who by their energy and care show
that they have the interests of the
place at heart and have a pride in

their i)rofession and are not merely
putting in so many hours per day to
enable them to draw their pay.

Employers can greatly add to the ef-
ficiency of their help by taking an in-
terest in their welfare, studying their
wants, aspirations and ambitions and
directing them in their studies. See
that they are <lecently and comfortably
accommodated in regard to rooms and
l>oard and. above all, be prepared to pay
on i)ay day. Show them that you are
interested in them, inspire a spirit of
irood-fellowship and thi> will call forth
the best of service.

Discourage all tale bearing or favor-
seekers and if any of the help by rea-
son of bad habits or objectionable tem-
|ieranient makes himself disagreeable
to the others, make no scruple about
di-^missing him, as discipline cannot be
maintained under such conditions and
where friction exists some of the duties
are certain to be neglected or performed
in a very perfunctory manner.

A systematic apportionment of the
work so that each one, from the sec-
tion foreman to the errand boy knows
his duty, and a careful supervisor who
knows neither fear nor favor and who.
like Ciesar's wife, should himself he
above suspicion, are essential to the well
lii'ing of every e-tablishment and will
without doubt gain for it a good name
and attract enterprising men to its
service. The result will be financial

TOMATOES.

Plants uuder way should be kept grow-
ing freely. If stunted now fox want
of pot room, or checked by any other
means, it will mean loss of time and
considerable trouble may be experienced
in getting them back into a free-growing,
healthy condition. They should be kept
fully exposed to light and erowdihg
should be guarded against, so that the
plants will not become "drawn. The more
compact ana stocky the plants can be kept
the quicker they will flower and set fruit
after they are planted in the benched.
Plants that are drawn and weakly for
want of sufficient light and space in the '■
earlier stages of their growth will usu-
ally be bare of fruit for nearly two feet
up from the soil.

Much diversity of opinion exists re-
garding the distance at which the plants'
should be set in the benches. Some con-
tend that where two square feet bench
space is allowed per plant they giye the
largest yield for the total space occu-
pied, but I prefer to allow two and a
half feet and consider that the larger
yield per plant, and the better fruit re-
sulting, amply makes up for the slight
loss in weight of yield.

Last year a query appeared in th6
Review regarding windy or hollow to-
matoes. At the time I said that the
trouble was new to me and was inclined
to lay the cause to the variety grown
being unsuitable for forcing. Other
writers gave their experience and seemed
to think that too much root room was a
cause. The confining of the roots will,
of course, induce a firmer growth in the
plants, which firmness will naturally be
imparted to the fruits. The freedom
from this disease in our own case is
probably due to the fact that we have
always confined the roots to a limited
space.

The mid-winter crop we grow in a
house fitted with raised benches and it
is more convenient for us' to set the
plants in boxes than to have the trouble
of filling the benches and emptying them
for the one crop. Our boxes are one
foot wide, nine inches deep and thirty
inches long. In each we grow three plants
and have always obtained satisfactory
results. If anyone troubled with windy
or hollow fruits will try this or some
other means of confining the roots I
think that he will find that little or no
trouble will be had.

In substantiation of the soft growth
theory as the cause of windy or hollow
fruit, I have observed that this summer

quite a few of the outdoor tomatoes have
been affected in this way and that' the
trouble was most apparent after pro-
tracted spells of dull, damp weather,
such weather naturally inducing soft
growth in the plants. W. S. Cboydon.

SEASONABLE WORK.

The time of year has again arrived
for most violet growers, when you have
to exercise greater care in watering,
not to overdo it, than you have had to
exercise for the past month or so, as
from now on you can never tell how
quickly you may have a change in
weather from these beautiful warm days
to several days of cold rain. For this
reason the watering should be done early
in the day, and very thoroughly, on
a day that promiq|ps to be bright and
fair. Then do not water again until
tb6 plants are rather on the dry side.

For the very reason that you are not
watering as freely as heretofore, you
will have to observe renewed vigilance
in watching for that subtle enemy, the
red spider, lest h© succeed in acquiring
a foothold and the weather become
such that you will not be able to syringe
freely enough to eradicate him, to the
detriment of your future crop and the
ruination of the leaves, thus not only
hurting the lungs of the plants, but also
causing a deficiency of foliage for prop-
erly bunching the blooms when you
commence to pick. Therefore, once or
twice a week, when watering, be sure
and spray the plants from underneath
from all fides and thus destroy any be-
ginning of the pests. As I have before
said, this should be done on a bright
day, that thev may soon dry off.

Another thing that should be aimed
at is to firm up the growth from this
time forward. Naturally the plants
have made a comparatively rank, soft
growth during the warm weather, and
this would be more susceptible to disease
of any kind were the conditions such
as to check growth. Consequently strive
to hav? the growth as hard and firm as
is possible, although T do not mean by
this to in any way stunt it.

The ventilation will also begin to have
to be more closelv attended to, but do

not make the error of closing up at
all until you are sure of a good hard
frost. Give all the air that is possible,
both day and night, as this is one of
your best aids in getting that stocky,
hard growth. When you do get up to a
night that you have to fire a little, be
sure and leave your ventilators up four
to six inches.

Do not forget to spread your feast of
Paris green and sugar for the delecta-
tion of the sow bugs and centipedes,
yes, and stray snails, that may be travel-
ing about seeking what they may de-
vour. You also have to watch out for.
aphides. Dust the plant over with to-
bacco dust and to get the dust where
it is effective you will have to hold
apart the leaves so as to get the dust
on the crown and young new growth
where the aphides love to .congregate.
Do not leave this on over two or three
hours and thiem wash off thoroughly
with the spray.

And right here I might say that if
you wonder what to use as a duster, you
can take any good -sized tin can and
punch the bottom full of holes with a
shingle nail. This will prove equally as
good as a more costly sifter and is
easily obtained. Dusting is one of the
jobs that must be thoroughly done and
should not be left to "the boy" but
looked after personally, that the aphides
may get no foothold, as it is surely
"good-bye crop" if they do.

Then there are those ever present jobs
that are never done, picking off the old
leaves, trimming off the runners, stir-
ring the top soil and generally keeping
them in the finest of condition. It is
well to keep the buds off for some time
yet, excepting, of course, with anyone
who has a special demand and trade
calling for early flowers; otherwise the
strength of the plant is better conserved
for the holiday crop, which it is the
aspiration of every grower to have as
large as possible. E. E. Shuphelt.

GLADIOLI AT ST. LOUIS.

As at the Pan-American Exposition,
so at the St. Louis World's Fair, in
the Horticulture building, the chief
autumnal attraction in the cut flower de-
partment is the gladiolus exhibit from
Meadowvale farm, Berlin, N. Y., con-
sisting of 725 vases containing 8,000
spikes. The principal strains shown are
the Groff's hybrids in their several sec-
tions. The arrangement on circular
shelves between which are mirrors, in-
creases the attractiveness of the exhibit
and is a credit to Mr. Cowee. All of
the material used in constructing the
rustic booth in the center, as well as the
outside circle, came from Meadowvale
farm.

Weekly shipments are made from the

Arthur G)wee's Exhibit of Gladioli in the Horticulture Building, St. Louis World's Fair,

fields at Berlin, N. Y., where 100 acres
are being grown, also, from a five-acre
planting at Belleville, ' III., where about
half a million bulbs have been planted
at three different periods so as to secure
a succession of blooming. Upon the ex-
position grounds Mr. Cowee has planted
in six beds, about 125,000 bulbs.

While the season has been exceptional
and the soil in which the bulbs were
planted not of the best, still taking ev-
erything into consideration, you could
not ask for better results.

J. H. Hadkinson.

A VETERAN OF THE CRAFT.

It is not given to every man whose
tenure of office is so dependent upon ad-
ministrative changes as are positions ac
Lincoln park, Chicago, to preserve his
equilibrium through more than the span
of the average human life, but Charles
J. Strom bach has survived political up-
heavals for thirty-five years and for
twenty-nine years has been head gar-
dener. Now, however, he has been re-
tired as past the age for active service,
for he is 62. No man, no more than
any woman, enjoys being told he is get-
ting old and quite naturally this good
gardener was reluctant to surrender his
active duties to a younger, if no less
capable man. "Did you ever see me
looking better?" is his query to every
friend. He is now " consulting gar-
dener," a position created for him by
the park commissioners at the request
of Supt. Warder and in recognition of
his long and capable service.

Charles J. Strombach came of garden-
ing stock. He received his training in
the Eoyal School of Horticulture at
Stockholm, in Sweden, and in various
private and commercial places on the
continent. Coming to America while in
his youth, he brought knowledge of his
vocation such as the young man of this
day finds it difficult to obtain, next to
impossible in this country. Gravitating
to Chicago, as so many of his country-
men did in that day, Mr. Strombach
took up the work at Lincoln park in
1869, when the place was but a fraction
of its present size and wholly devoid of
its present aspect. To his genius much
of the very excellent landscape work is
due. At the beginning there was but a
little glass, only for working purpo?OH,
and nothing like a collection of plants.
Today there is one of the finest ranges
of glass and the best and largest col-
lection of plants in the west, all devel-
oped under Mr. Strombach 's guidance.
Indeed, as Supt. Warder is quoted as
saying, "It was only due him that some
place should be provided."

BOSTON.

The Market.

Conditions are much better in our
market than they have been before this
season. Frost has cut off practically all
outdoor stock. A few gladioli still come
in, selling at 75 cents to $1.50 per dozen
for the best, but dahlias, asters, fever-
few and other such stuff are gone. Car-
nations are now of fine quality. Blooms
of Mrs. Patten, Enchantress, Queen,
Lawson, Fair Maid and other popular
sorts are almost equal to winter stock.
Prices vary from $3 for the best down to
$1 for inferior blooms.

Roses are shortening up somewhat,
with a perceptible improvement in qual-

ity and a betterment in prices. Beau-
ties are in smaller supply, at from $6
to $25 per 100. Kaiserins and Carnots
bring $2 to $8 and Brides and Brides-
maids $2 to $6. Chrysanthemums have
appeared, Malcolm Orr, of Lynn, bring-
ing in the first Lady Fitzwygram on Sep-
tember 22. The -same grower had some
nice Marquis de Montmort on Sep-
tember 24, on which date Wm. Nicholson
and S. J. Goddard each had a fine lot of
Fitzwygrams. Prices were $1.50 to $2
per dozen. Lily of the valley brings $4
to $5, Waban Conservatories sending the
best. A little better demand is noted for
asparagus and adiantum. A few single
violets have appeared. They are small
and pale-colored yet, however.

The Co-operative Markets.

Stallholders in the two flower markets
were apportioned their stands on Sep-
tember 24, there being a large and ani-
mated crowd at each market. The Park
street stand, while very small and
cramped compared, with the Columbus
avenue location, which is now advertised
"To Let," has been thoroughly over-
hauled and looks very neat. A visit to
the Music Hall market showed a wonder-
ful transformation since a previous visit.
The floor was beautifully lighted by elec-
tricity and seemed very cozy. Some 130

stalls are rented, with a prospect of- more
being taken soon. The principal en-
trance is from Hamilton place, but there
are two additional ones leading to Music
Hall place and Washington street and
a probability of a fourth leading to
Bromfield street very shortly. The sales-
room here is much larger than at Park
street, covering 6,000 square feet.

The markets opened for business on
September 26 and each seemed satisfied
with business transacted. It is to be re-
gretted that a split has occurred. There
is room for one big, strong market and,
while two may each do a good business
for some time, we expect to see the pres-
ent feeling between the two factions
gradually die out and eventually an amal-
gamation take place on lines satisfactory
to both sides.

The Autumnal Show.

The new halls of the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society were never better
filled with choice exhibits, nor more taste-
fully arranged, than on the occasion of
the annual autumn show September 22 to
25. The committee of arrangements had
worked hard and deserves special com-
mendation. Exhibits were so arranged
that the work of the committees was
greatly lightened when making their

awards, something that we trust may
continue at future shows.

Plants completely filled the main ex-
hibition hall. For best finished group
of foliage plants to cover 200 square feet,
Mrs. J, L. Gardner, Wm. Thatcher, gar-
dener, beat J. S. Bailey, J. Nylan, gar-
dener. These exhibitors were in same
order for six stove and greenhouse
plants, Mr. Thatcher's winning six be-
ing Dracaena Goldeana and D. Sander-
iana, Dieffenbaehia Bausei and D. mag-
nifica, Maranta Porteana and Phyl-
loteenium Lindeni. For pair palms the
prizes went to Mrs. J. L. Gardner, A.
F. Estabrook, Geo, Barker, gardener, and
J. S. Bailey. The last named won for
five specimen ferns with Davallia Moore-
ana and D. Fijiensis majus, Gleichenia
circinata glauca, Polypodium aureum and
Nephrolepis Piersoni. Mrs. Gardner beat
A. F. Estabrook for five adiantums, show-
ing fine plants of cuneatum, Farleyense,
cuneatum grandiceps, ..^thiopicum and
gracillimum.

J. S. Bailey showed the best twenty-
five crotons in 6-inch pots and A. F.
Estabrook the best six caladiums. Mrs.
Gardner won for specimen Ouvirandra
fenestralis and ten Begonia Eex, also for
six dracajnas, J. S. Bailey being a close
second in the latter class. Peter Cairns
won second prize for specimen green-
house flowering plant with Epidendrum
vitellinum majus. R. and J. Farquhar &
Co. put up a fine group of palms and
other foliage plants interspersed with
large vases of Lilium speeiosum, Farqu-
har's Christmas lily and other cut flow-
ers. Julius Eoehrs showed a nice table
of orchids and ferns, the former includ-
ing such seasonable sorts as Vanda
caerulea, Dendrobium Phalsenopsis, Cat-
tleya Bowringeana and C. labiata, Cypri-
pedium callosum and others. E. J. Mit-
ton, J, Lawson, gardener, also had a
nice table of orchids arranged with
ferns, chiefly cattleyas and Dendrobium
Phalsenopsis. Lager & Hurrell had a
nice collection of orchids in fine flower,
including Lfelia elegans, Cattleya gigas
and C. labiata, Vanda caerulea, Oncidium
varicosum Rogersii, Odontoglossum
grande and others.

F. R. Pierson Co. showed a table of
their new sport of the Pierson fern,
named Tarrytown, which scored one point
higher than at the spring show, now se-
curing a silver medal. Henry A. Dreer
showed a beautiful tank of nymphaeas
and other aquatics, which received a sil-
ver medal. Certificates of merit were
awarded Nympha?a Zanzibariensis Penn-
sylvania and N. dentata superba, two
beautiful new varieties.

A. F. Estabrook had a collection of
large solanums in tubs and Mrs. M. L.
Atwood well bloomed achimenes grown
in a dwelling house. Robert Cameron,
from the Harvard Botanic Gardens, con-
tributed an extensive and beautifully ar-
ranged group of foliage plants. In ad-
dition to a gratuity, a silver medal was
awarded for a superb plant of Phyllot-
aenium Lindeni and certificates of merit
to Calathea Makoyana and C. Linden-
iana. Some well-flowered plants of
Nerine corusca helped to brighten this
group, which was the best we have seen
for years.

In cut flowers dahlias were shown in
thousands in first-class condition. While
the cactus section was perhaps most
largely shown, there was keen competi-
tion in the classes for show, fancy, pom-
pon, decorative and single varieties. Had

the show been one day later hardly a
bloom would have been shown, the freeze
of the morning of September 22 wiping
them out. A comparatively new ex-
hibitor, E. W. Ela, was the most suc-
cessful, winning five firsts, one second
and one third. W. C. Winter took two
firsts, three seconds and three thirds
and J. K. Alexander one first and three
seconds. Other large exhibitors who took
prizes were H. F. Burt, W. P. Lothrop,
Geo. D. Cook and G. H. Walker. W. C.
Winter won for the best general display
arranged for effect. Geo. D. Cook showed
the best novelty in Mrs. Roosevelt, a fine
pink decorative variety.

For twenty named gladioli, J. K. Alex-
ander was first, while for 100 spikes W.
P. Lothrop won. Carl Blomberg and
Mrs. E. M. Gill won in order named for
thirty varieties herbaceous plants. Bay-
ard Thayer, Wm. Anderson, gardener,
took first premium for tank of aquatic
flowers with a fine arrangement. Walter
Hunnewell, T. D. Hatfield, gardener, and
Blue Hill Nurseries each had a large
table of herbaceous perennials. The lat-
ter secured a first-class certificate for
Tritoma Pfitzeri, not a new plant but
one which had only received honorable
mention previously. J. E. Eothwell,
Emil J.ohannson, gardener, had fifty-five
varieties of choice cut orchids. Henry
Wood showed the first violets of the sea-
son. There were numerous promiscuous
displays of dahlias and other flowers.
For forty varieties of native plants
prizes went to Misses Doran, Carl Blom-
berg, Mrs. A. Clark, Miss Isabella Shat-
tuck and Miss Ida Henderson. As usual
there was an extensive and meritorious
display of fruits and vegetables.

Varioos Notes.

Our first freeze of the season came
early and was unusually severe. On the
mornings of September 22 and 23 mini-
mum temperatures were recorded from
20° to 30" above zero, the lower figures
being in the Sudbury valley. Practically
all tender plants and vegetables were
killed outright, a considerable loss be-
ing sustained by com and cranberry
growers in this state. Such early and
severe frost had not occurred previously
for thirty-five years.

The show at Horticultural Hall
brought many visitors to town the past
week. Among these were F. C. Green,
Warwick, R. I.; F. R. Pierson and J.
R. Fotheringham, Tarrytown, N. Y. ;
Thomas Knight, Rutherford, N. J.; Geo.
F. Struck, Summit, N. J., and A. J.
Newell, Pomfret, Conn.

At the meeting of the Gardeners' and
Florists' Club, on September 20, three
new members were elected. An invitation
from Waban Rose .Conservatories to visit
that establishment about the end of Oc-
tober was unanimously accepted and a
vote of thanks tendered to Mr. Montgom-
ery for the same. After James Wheeler
had described his vacation experiences,
including his success in picking out win-
ning horses at the Clinton Fair, W. J.
Stewart gave a most interesting account
of his visit to the World 's Fair, particu-
larly of the horticultural section. He
considered St. Louis quite a law abiding
city, in which opinion he was supported
by Mr. Morton, who after describing
some of the Chicago cemeteries visited
during the late session of the Associa-
tion of American Cemetery Superintend-
ents, referred to the bedding at the
World 's Fair.

J. W. Duncan and W, N. Craig offered
short contributions to the evening's en-
tertainment. Julius Heurlin showed a
collection of hardy herbaceous plants, in-
cluding the new tritoma. Empress, and
Charles Sander had specimens of the lace
bug which he finds very destructive on
foliage of rhododendrons. Spraying with
whale oil soap was the best remedy.

The garden committee of the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society paid a
visit by invitation to the dahlia gardens
of W. J. Winser, at Brockton, Mass.,
on September 21. They found a fine col-
lection comprising hundreds of the best
varieties. A few hours after their visit
the plants were all destroyed by frost.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

There isn't anything out of the ordi-
nary doing but demand has shown an
appreciable gain during the past week
and conditions are more nearly normal
than for some time. Shipping trade is
quite active and the local call indicates
that some of the leading retailers are
finding some good work.

The average quality of the rose crops
shows material improvement and there
are now available enough good flowers
for all requirements, including consid-
erable stock which may be classed as
fancy. This applies particularly to
Brides and Maids but Beauties are gain-
ing steadily and in the past week have
not only been of better quality but in
better demand than heretofore. Not
many long Liberty are seen and Chate-
nay has not yet much stem.

Carnations are steadily increasing in
quality and lengthening in stem; the
size of flower has been all right ever
since the indoor stock began to come in.
Several growers who have had Lawson,
Enchantress and others under glass all
summer are getting superb stock for
September carnations. There are still
a great many low grade flowers but
even these sell rather better than they
did because asters are pretty poor now
and practically out of it.

There is considerable inquiry for
fancy mums for early weddings and re-
ceptions. A few good ones are seen and
the supply will increase rapidly after
next week. The receipts of violets are
increasing quite rapidly and the good
ones sell fairly well, but many of them
are too poor to be useful.

The wedding season is causing a bet-
ter demand for valley and "green
goods," and these are plentiful. Tube-
roses are abundant. Good dahlias are
selling fairly well but shorts and poor
flowers are hard to move.

Qub Meeting.

At the club meeting September 22 the
subject of the club's work for the Car-
nation Society's convention was taken
up and the president instructed to ap-
point a committee of three with power
to appoint sub-committees to arrange
finances and all details of entertain-
ment. Nominations of officers for the
ensuing year developed a surprising
and deplorable lack of ambition to
achieve honor and renown in the guid-
ance of the club's destinies. A commit-
tee had to be appointed to make a slate.
The committee consisted of Messrs.
Vaughan, Hauswirth and Asmue and

the nominees are as follows: For presi-
dent, W. N. Rudd; vice-president, J. P.
Risch; recording secretary, Robert
Johnstone; financial secretary, Greorge
Asmus; treasurer, Edgar Sanders;
trustees, F. F. Benthey, "W. L. Palinsky,
M. Barker, H. B. Howard and Leonard
Kill. For the committee on exhibits of
the evening, M. Barker recommended
that a certificate of merit be awarded
Gladiolus princeps exhibited by
Vaughan's Seed Store.

At Lincoln Park.

There hasn't been a geranium in
sight in the big parterre at Lincoln
park this season. One of the most at-
tractive beds was planted with small
rubbers with Grevillea robusta between.
A novelty here was the use of Pennise-
tum Rupelianum as an edging for big
beds of Egandale canna and P. macrou-
rum for beds of Souvenir d'Antoine
Crozy. The effect was fine but would
have been even better had Egandale at-
tained its usual height this season; it
is quite a little short of it. In the ser-
vice houses they have a splendid lot of
cattleyas in a growing collection of
orchids, many freshly imported. The
mums are in fine shape. There is a nice
lot of cyclamens and Lorraines for later
show. To apply insecticides and fun-
gicides they use a sprayer which seems
an unusually good one. It is made by the
Rice Automatic Sprayer Co., at East
Windsor Hill, Conn. A new cool house,
for azaleas, etc., is being built. It will
be 34x95 with a lean-to.

Various Notes,

H. Klunder, on State street, has at-
1 tracted attention to his window this
week with a bowl of Tritoma Pfitzeri.

Capt. H. Schiienemann starts north
next week after his annual cargo of
Christmas trees and bouquet green. He
is going to an entirely new field this
year, the old pickings having been pret-
ty well exhausted.

John Muir has one of the handsomest
stores in town at his new place at 4647
Grand boulevard and probably the best
arranged store in the west. At the
opening, September 21, he had hundreds
of visitors and made a fine show of
stock.

J. F. Wilcox, of Council Bluffs, was
in town Monday with his son, Roy,
whom he will see started at college at
Cornell and then go on to New York
for a few days. The second son of the
house of Wienhoeber also started for
Cornell this week.

0. J. Friedman has a big decoration
on this week for Carson, Pirie, Scott &
Co., whose manager is his brother-in-
law.

C. W. McKellar is again getting cat-
tleyas, a scarce article for some months.

Bernard Zalinger is now John Sin-
ner's assistant at the Exchange.

George Asmus is putting in an ice
box worth $275 at the Schiller store on
West Madison street.

Sol Garland is sending Percy Jones
some exceptionally good Princess of
Wales violets in good quantity, also,
for so early.

L. Coatsworth has returned from a
few days' visit at New Castle. He re-
ports everything looking good.

Kennicott Bros. Co. has been making
wire work faster than it sold this sum-
mer and have stock enough on hand for
another of their popular sales.

H. Luedtke, at Maywood, says Lady
Bountiful is the best white carnation to
date, but he likes Albatross also. Flam-
ingo won't develop its flowers for him;
buds just stand still.

A. L. Randall Co. says there is no
further occasion to complain about the
quality of rosea. Mr, Thomas is looking
for unlimited supplies of violets again
this year, quality rather better than
last year, according to the growers.

Gunnar Teilmann, Marion, Ind., has
been sending E. C. Amling very fine
Monrovia mums this week. While Mr.
Amling was out on a little business
trip one day last week he took time
to catch a ten and a half pound pick-
erel.

Eli Cross, of Grand Rapids, was over
on Monday and says violets are looking
fine there.

A. L. Vaughan went to Grand Rapids
yesterday for a few days stay.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

It was a case of "freeze out" last
week up the Hudson and cold enough in
and around New York to chill the out-
door stock and so remove a menace to
the general market that the wholesalers
very much appreciate. The temperature
fell below 32° in many places up the
state and in the neighborhood of Nyack
and Poughkeepsie a winter temperature
prevailed. Asters, dahlias and gladioli,
therefore, are of some account and the
prices realized for good stock are at last
satisfactory. Violets come daily, but in
limited quantities and of very poor qual-
ity. Far better hold them until the mid-
dle of October, especially as their value
is cheapened by the early sidewalk mer-
chants' offerings.

Chrysanthemums have made an early
start and some excellent stock of Mar-
quis de Montmort and Mme. Gastellier
has arrived. The indications are for a
flood of them before October is a week
old. Orchids have been short in supply
for a week and the demand for them
shows a steady growth, out of town or-
ders growing constantly in numbers.

The supply of roses increases every
day and good stock finds a ready mar-
ket, but enormous quantities of the me-
dium and lower grades can be had in
large lots at the buyer's offer.

Little hope of a satisfactory revival
can be counted on until the smoke, of the
election contest has cleared away. Then
we look confidently for the best season
the cut fiower and general florists' busi-
ness has ever known in this country.
This seems to be the general opinion of
all branches of the trade.

The Institute Exhibition.

Exhibitions began with the American
Institute in New York in 1831. The
seventy-third took place last Wednesday
and Thursday and was a great success,
both in quality of exhibits and attend-
ance. Special premiums were numerous.
The banks of flowering and decorative
plants exhibited by Julius Roehrs and
Sicbrecht & Son were up to their stand-
ard and Lager & Hurrell staged an ef-
fective display of cattleyas. odontoglos-
sums and cypripediums. The Clucas &

Boddington Co. received special pre-
miums for dahlias, phlox and herbaceous
flowers and made a large and beautiful
exhibit.

A. L. Miller, of Brooklyn, received a
special for his display of his new white
dahlia, Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, and
the F. R. Pierson Co. got a diploma for
their new fern, Tarrytown, John Lewis
Childs showed gladioli and tuberous be-
gonias and Beaulieu, of Woodhaven, had
a collection of dahlias. In addition to
prize winners already mentioned were
Geo. H. Hale, Seabright, N. J,; J. P,
Sorensou, Stamford, Conn,; C. W. Bol-
ton, Pelham, N. Y. ; H. L. Burt, Taunton,
Mass; W. P. Lothrop, East Bridgewater,
Mass. ; Thos. J. Holland, Malvern, Pa. ;
Geo. H. Hemming, Brooklyn, N, Y. ;
James Kennedy, Deal, N. J.; Frank H.
Presby, Montclair, N. J.

With the Bulb Houses.

These are the busy days among the
bulb houses, immense shipments leaving
the city every day. Thorburn, Hender-
son, Stumpp & Walter Co., Elliott, Bod-
dington, H. H. Berger & Co., Suzuki &
lida, Henry & Lee, Ralph Ward & Co.,
Meyer and Joosten all report the busiest
fall trade in their experience.

H. H. Berger & Co. have just received
their first importation of Cattleya Har-
risoniana from Brazil and will have or-
chid shipments throughout the year. Their
comment on business is that "this has
been an unusually good season."

A. T. Boddington 's store on West
Fourteenth street has been rearranged
and is crowded to the doors by their im-
portations. Their second shipment of
azaleas has arrived. Mr. Boddington is
visiting his eastern customers this week
and Mr, Begbie has just returned from
a two weeks' outing among his friends
in North Carolina.

Various Notes.

The dahlia supply from Atco's 100-
acre base is handled in New York by
Gunther and Ghormley, Some very fine
stock has been arriving daily until the
cold snap intervened.

The orchid growers of this vicinity
are exhibiting at the flower shows in
quantity, Lager & Hurrell and Julius
Roehrs having splendid exhibits at the
American Institute exhibition here last
week and at Boston.

The wheels move slowly in the auction
business. In the city it is hard to draw
the buyers. Small audiences have been
the rule. It would be a shame to men-
tion some of the prices realized. The out
of town sales of Bird, at Arlington, N,
J,, and Troy, at New Rochelle, N, Y,,
failed to attract the buyers the merits of
the goods deserved.

Tuesday, September 20, that expert in
American Beauty specials, Henry Hentz,
Jr., of Madison, N. J., was presented
with his first daughter.

N. LeCakes & Co. are much pleased
with the establishment of their head-
quarters on Twenty-eighth street and
have added a plant department to their
business. They will handle holly for
Thanksgiving and Christmas in large
quantities, John A, Foley, formerly
with Bradshaw, is bookkeeper for "Mr,
LeCakes.

Wm. Ford, of Ford Bros., has been
out of the city during the past week
but is now fully recuperated and ready
for the fall rush, which he anticipates
will commence earlier than usual.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

September 29, 1904.

All interested in the formation of the
Mew York Florists' Bowling Club are
requested to meet October 7 at the bowl-
ing alleys, Twenty-third street, near
Sixth avenue, and at 7:30 so that officers
may be elected and all preliminaries com-
pleted before the evening's bowling. An
evening will be selected satisfactory to
the majority and matches arranged with
neighboring clubs, so that a greater in-
terest may be developed.

Two members of the New York Flor-
ists' Club passed away last week, J. B.
Hyatt, of Winfield, L. I., and John
Kickert, of Weehawken, N. J. Mr.
Hyatt was formerly a member of the
firm of T. B. Hyatt & Son, nurserymen,
and Mr. Rickert a prominent grower
whose early death is mourned by a large
circle of relatives and friends. The sym-
pathies of the trade are extended to the
bereaved families.

L. J. Kreshover tells some very in-
teresting experiences of his European
trip, especially those of Paris and the
Tyrolean Alps. His knowledge of French
and German made the journey one of
perfect delight. Many novelties for the
supply trade will attest the combination
of business with pleasure. He met Wm.
Burns, the florist of Sixth avenue, in
Switzerland unexpectedly and their mu-
tual delight as foreign travelers can be
imagined.

Mr. Burnham, at Bloomingdale 's, has
one of the finest retail florists' stores in
the city and greenhouse facilities on the
roof that more than double his former
capacity. Eeception rooms, decorations
and the best plants in the market will
give him encouragement to develop an
immense business as compared with any
other department store. The maintain-
ing of right prices under his management
has commended him to the good will of
the legitimate florists and demonstrated
the possibility of conducting the work,
even where department store methods in
all other lines prevail, so as not to make
this special department a menace to the
retail florist.

The dahlia and canna exhibit at the
rooms of the New York Florists' Club
October 10 should maintain the interest
in these special nights, which, under the
presidency of Mr. Traendly, have added
so largely to the attendance and made it
a record year to date.

The Mineola Fair last week was the
greatest Long Island has ever seen. The
fruit and flower exhibits have never been
equaled there. John Lewis Childs' great
pyramid of palms, ferns and decorative
plants called for special commendation.
An attendance of over 100,000 for the
week attests the popularity of the ex-
hibition. J. Austin Shaw.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

The cut flower season is opening fast
and the general opinion among the store
men is that trade is expanding steadily
and confidence increases. The lower
temperature stimulates the demand for
work of all kinds in the florists' line.
While there is no great amount of busi-
ness to report, a marked improvement
for the past two weeks is noticed. Quite
a number of social events came the
past week, including early fall weddings
and fall openings in the large down-
town stores, adding very much to the

demand for cut flowers and decorative
plants.

Saturday we had quite a heavy rain,
which was very much needed by the
growers, who report that nearly every-
thing is housed and they are working
on boilers and heating apparatus, so as
to be ready for the first cold snap, as
frost is predicted for this week. The
plant trade is picking up and there is
a good call for kentias and other palms,
also Boston ferns. Of the latter, Mr.
Felter, on Lexington avenue, has some
of the finest seen in a long time.

Stock at the commission houses is of
fair quality, but first-class material
rather scarce and plenty of the second
grade at cheap prices. In roses, first-
class American Beauties are very scarce
at $3 per dozen, shorts from 75 cents
to $1.50 per dozen, culls $3 and $4 per
100. Bride, Maid, Carnot, Meteor and
Kaiserin run $4, $5 and $6 per 100 for
the best, $2 and $3 for seconds. The
house-grown carnations are still short in
stem, with fair flowers. Bisr lots of
JVIrs. Fisher from the field were in last
week. Outdoor stock brings 50 and 75
cents per 100, house-grown from $1 to
$2 per 100. The demand is very large
just now.

Violets made their appearance the
past week. They are, of course, small
and shriveled and hardly good enousrh
for counter sales. The wholesalers de-
manded 25 and 35 cents j>er 100. with
slow sales. Good valley had some de-
mand last week, owing to several large
wedding.^. The stock is of good quality,
at $3 and $4 per 100. Quite a lot of
tuberose spikes came in on Saturday,
Avhich sold clean at $4 per 100. Asters,
hydrangeas and gladioli are over and
only a few of these come in. Cosmos
has not yet come in quantity. Adian-
tum is scarce. Other greens are plenti-
ful.

Various Notes.

C. Young & Sons Co. report business
very good, especially in shipping orders,
which were quite heavy recently.

Beyer Bros, are busy potting up their
chrysanthemums from the field. They
expect to have a fine lot of market
plants this year, also single-stemmed
plants.

C. C. Sanders is also very busy with
his chrysanthemum plants, of which he
wnll have a fine lot in both cut blooms
and plants. Other stock at his place is
looking at its best.

The trustees of the Missouri Botan-
ical Garden gave their fifteenth annual
banquet on Thursday night at the Buck-
ingham Club, which brought together
one of the most distinguished bodies of
scientists ever assembled in this coim-
try. The banquet is provided for in the
will of the late Henry Shaw. This
banquet is generally held early in
spring, but on account of so many dis-
tinguished men attending the Interna-
tional Congress of Arts and Science? at
the World's Fair, it was postponed un-
til they all arrived. The giiests num-
bered nearly 200. Winfield S. Chaplin.
Chancellor of Washington University,
officiated as toastmaster. A number of
informal speeches were made during the
evening.

Theo. Miller and young Mr. Kalish
acted as judges during the four days of
registration last week. Theo. will now
be knoM'n as Judge Miller. His place
is stocked up with a nice lot of plants

of all kinds and business is steadily
improving in cut flowers.

The Riessen Floral Co. has been very
busy of late with theatre work, also
decorations. They expect again to fur-
nish the decorations for the Veiled
Prophet's ball, which will be held next
week Tuesday at the Merchants' Ex-
change. The decorations are usually
very large and attractive.

Frank M. Ellis is giving his place a
fresh coat of paint and is making big
preparations for the fall trade, which is
now upon us. He repoilts excellent
trade, both shipping and local.

At C. A. Kuehn's a fine line of sup-
plies can be seen. Mr. Kuehn has a
large lot of consignors who will have a
fine lot of cut blooms for this season.
He reports trade good in all lines, wire
work, supplies and cut stock.

Henry Berning has laid in an extra
supply of florists' goods of all kinds.
Stock at this place is also very plenti-
ful and trade good in all its branches.
Mr. Berning is looking for a big trade
this winter.

Theo. Miller left Sundav night for a
fhort trip to Chicago and Fort Wayne,
Ind., on both business and pleasure.

Robert Beyer, Geo. Windier, J. J.
Beneke, Theo. Miller, J. Kalish and Emil
Schray will all serve as judges at the
coming fall election.

Bowline.

The bowling season has opened and
the florists will again be in the game
every Monday night. A. Y. Ellison will
this year roll with the Rosedales and
Kuehn and Beneke with the Jewelers.
Carl Beyer will again roll with the
Western Bowling Club.

FROM OUR ENGLISH EXCHANGES.

The Gardeners' Magazine.

The way to grow good pentstemons.
with huge spikes, massive bells, and
abundance of foliage, is to make a se-
lection of varieties, seedlings, if good
enough (but they never are from an
ordinary packet of seed), insert the cut-
tings at the right time, root them prop-
erly, encourage them to grow freely
away in spring, and never allow a check.
Stunted plants cannot produce bells two
and a half inches in diameter, and yet
these are the kind of blooms I aim at,
and produce.

Am WELi, pleased with the Review,
particularly with Mr. Scott's notes. —

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

The untimely frosts had a serious
effect on plants and flowers outdoors.
This has been especially felt in gladioli,
now in brisk demand, and to a lesser
extent in dahlias. On Saturday Arthur
Cowee wired the Leo Niesseu Co. that
his gladioli were over, and this Eeenis
true of all the other growers. Dahlias,
now in their prime, suffered, but fortu
nately not so much. L. K. Peacock re-
ports the temperature fell to 29° at At-
co, but luckily some of his dahlias were
sheltered by peach trees and others will
recover. He was able to send S. S.
Pennock 8,000 blooms on Monday. Cos-
mos was scarce for several days. Asters
are about over. Single violets are com-
ing to town in increasing quantities.
There are very few chrysanthemums as
yet. Carnations are improving steadily.
There is no change in the rose situa-
tion; a fair demand for the best stuff
and too many poor blooms. Greens do
not sell well. Valley is more plentiful.

Two department stores' decorations,
that of Gimbel Bros., by the Wm. Gra-
ham Co., and that of Strawbridgc &
Clothier, by J. J. Habermehl's Sons,
have occurred since those last reporteil,
but the general tone of the market i^
rather flat, despite the check on the out-
door supply.

West Grove.

It was a glorious September morning,
cool and beautifully clear after the
fierce storm of a few hours before, when
the early train over the Baltimore Cen-
tral rolled out of Broad street station.
There was a pair of floricultural chaps
on board, D. T. Conner, determined to
convince the Chester county growers
that Lord & Burnham material is the
best for building, and incidentally to
visit the scenes of his boyhood, and
Phil, determined to prove to Chester
county that the Review is far and away
the most progressive paper of the day;
both bent on enjoying a day's outing.

By the time Chadd's Ford was reached
it was decided that there were too many
places to visit half of them in a day
and that it would be better to see a
few and do them thoroughly rather
than hurry over a large number, leav-
ing the others until some future day.

Mr. Conner further decided that, while
the railroad had contracted to carry
the pair to West Grove, the train should
be left at Avondale in order to secure
a central base of operations from which
both West Grove and Kennett would
be easily accessible. So at Avondale
the pair disembarked, instantly con-
tracting with an enterprising local liv-
ery man for a horse warranted to out-
strip anything on the road, with buggy
with lap cover, hitching strap and
blanket, everything complete for an in-
definite period, on consideration where-
of the pair, were to pay the sum of $1.
This merely nominal rental so delighted
Mr. Conner that he put Patrick (the
descendant of Maud S. responded to
this name) through his paces in such
good style that by nine o'clock he was
safely tied at the Conard & Jones Co.'s
place at West Grove, where the paii
were most kindly received by Antoine
Wintzer.

The place is said to consist of aboui
50,000 square feet of glass, with about
thirty-five acres of ground outside un-
der cultivation. Mr. Wintzer showed
his visitors over the entire place, giving
freely of his vast store of knowledge in
a way that recalled the fascinating talk
of Robert Craig, making the three and
a half hours spent with him seem like
but thirty minutes.

First came the inspection of the
shedvS. Folding paper boxes have suc-
ceeded the cumbersome cigar boxes for
orders of small lots of young rose plants
to all parts of this country as well as
to Cuba and Porto Rico, while the
tubular boxes are used when sending to
Europe or South America. After a
look at the boilers (one had been going
a few days) came the houses devoted to
tropical, bedding and miscellaneous
plants used in a catalogue trade. It
was a general collection, including many
well-known and some scarce plants,
chiefly soft-wooded. A certain Mexican
palm said to be a winner as an addition
to inexpensive collections — the Amer-
ican people do love getting something
for nothing — was very prominent.

Next came the rose houses. Here Mr.
Wintzer was in his element, going from
variety to variety, giving the name and
characteristics of each with a facility
simply marvelous, proof of years of
careful study combined with a true love
of our calling.

"Here is the old Perle, you will mind,
Dennis," he said, turning to Mr. Con-
ner, who was his pupil for ten years.
"We had it in '75, the year after it
came out. This is Mme. Gerard. John
Burton got some of that to replace Ma.
Capucine, which wasn't a grower. See
what rich foliage and fine growth Mme.
Gerard has. This is Magnafrauo. We
could have sold 50,000 of that rose, but
we sent it out too soon and never could
get stock enough. This is Mme. Abel
Chatenay; the American Rose Co. made
a hit with that. And this is one of
I^mbert's new varieties. I wish you
could see a flower of it. It is a beauty,
but there was a Quaker lady married
down here today and all the good flow-
ers were taken off," and so on over hun-
dreds of varieties, with occasional an-
athemas on the rapacity of the aforesaid
Quaker lady. That bride must have had
a bouquet such as H. H. Battles de-
lights to hold up and say that "this
bunch cannot be duplicated in America,"
though it may be Mr. Battles would not
have approved the great variety of color
and shades of color that bouquet must
have contained. A cutting bench with
sand from a near-by quarry was full
of rose cuttings just callousing, bottom
heat but seldom used as yet.

Outside, despite the fierce storm of
the night before, was one of the finest
sights one could wish to see. Five acres
or more planted with cannas. Such
cannas! Nowhere else can a finer col-
lection of blue blooded, aristocratic can-
nas be found. Here is a beautiful bed
of Brandywine, considered the best of
its kind, its rich bronze foliage giving
contrast to the lar^^e red flowers; there
a half dozen long rows of seedlings from
seed of Buttercup, grand, green-leaved,
yellow-flowered cannas whose character-
istic of faithful reproduction is so rare
among the cannas.

Then there were the experiments un-
der way in hybridizing. Long rows of
varieties carefully labeled with date and
name of variety used in cross. Here
Mr. Wintzer is in a world of his own
into which the ordinary mortal can go
but a little way. Progress is being
made slowly but surely. Hundreds of
seedlings of the best sorts are thrown
away every year as no improvement
over their parents, while an important
advance in the method of hybridizing

with difficult sorts has been made that

The Philadelphia Rambler in all
stages of growth was a very interesting
sight. Mr. Wintzer considers it un-
questionably an improvement on the
Crimson Rambler. A bed of Hydrangea
paniculata grandiflora closely planted
was pointed out as an example of the
way this variety can be made to hold
up'its heads of bloom. The grounds are
filled with great quantities of shrubs
and small fruits.

After a hearty clasp of the hand of
the representative of the Conard & Jones
Co., the Philadelphians turned Patrick's
head toward the West Grove Inn and
dinner.

Various Notes.

M. Rice & Co. are receiving fresh im-
portations of immortelles, immortelle
wreaths and moss wreaths.

The flower store in the new Belle-
vue-Stratford hotel, to be occupied by

A story is told — you must judge of
its accuracy — of two sporty florists re-
turning from Atlantic City. It was hot
but so dusty that the parlor car win-
dows were closed. To their surprise
they saw a pretty girl in a chair nearby
take off her shoe and stocking and after
carefully turning the stocking inside out
both were put on again. This was re-
peated with the other shoe and the sports
matched coins to see who should find
out the reason for this strange perform-
ance. Bowing politely, the loser asked

the girl if she would explain her action.
At first she appeared annoyed but finally
said, "I was so hot I just turned tho
hose on myself." Phil.

LIGHT COLORED FOLIAGE.

I have observed that this season there
is a great tendency to pale colored foli-
age on chrysanthemums, especially
where water direct from deep chalk wells
has to be used. The excess of lime in
such water prevents a proper development
of chlorophyll to the leaves, hence a pale-
ness in color.

To counteract this defect in the foliage
sulphate of iron, sulphate of ammonia,
and nitrate of soda should be employed.
Either of the two former applied to' the
roots in a liquid state twice weekly, at
the rate of half an ounce to a gallon of
water, will quickly change the color of
the leaves. At the same time give the
plants less water than they have been
regularly receiving; keep them slightly
on the dry side. The cause of loss in
color was a partial check to the activity
of the roots, and to continue an excess
of water cannot be beneficial. If the
plants are at all weak or backward in
growth, half a teaspoonful of nitrate of
soda, finely powdered and sprinkled on
the surface of each 9-inch pot, water-
ing it in, will quickly improve the color
of the leaves and hasten the growth. —
E. MoLYNEUX, in Gardeners' Magazine.

The Market.

The condition of trade is only me-
dium. Good long-stemmed roses are
still hard to find, though there are
plenty of shorts. Beauties are not so
plentiful and the price is a trifle higher.
Some very nice Perles are to be had
and sell well. Many growers have more
or less mildew on their stock and this
does not tend to increase the value of
their product, though some of them do
not seem to recognize this fact.

The supply of carnations is still
small and the quality nothing to speak
of. It is to be hoped that the fine
weather that we are having at present
will bring in a larger cut, as it is hard
to get along without them now that
asters and gladioli arc fast playing out.
The demand for them continues good.
Long, nice dahlias sell well. Lily of
the valley is scarce, also longiflorum
lilies, and the demand for them is very
fair.

The first chrysanthemums of the sea-
son were seen September 23, and their
quality was good, all things considered.
The variety was Willowbrook. The first
violets also made their appearance last
week. The variety was Lady Camp-
bell and the quality was very fair. They
are grown in the mountains of Virginia.
Long, good cosmos is in and is being
used for window decorations, where it
is especially attractive. Jiilius Baer has
his window decorated with it. and the
efTect is very pretty.

Various Notes.

H. M. Altick, of Dayton, was a visi-
tor last week. He was here in the in-
terest of the McKinley Memorial Fund,
and was quite successful in obtainioj;
subscriptions from the florists of this
city. He is an earnest and untiring
worker and greatly deserves the sup-
port of all the florists of the United
States.

The falling of the floor of an out-
building at the Pleasant Ridge school,
thereby precipitating twenty-five little
girls into the pit beneath, was one of
the most terrible accidents that have
occurred in this vicinitv in years. Of

the nine children who perished, two,
aged seven and eleven, were the daugh-
ters of Wm. Card, employed with T.
M. McCullough Sons' Co. The heart-
felt sympathy of all is extended to Mr.
Card and his family.

B. P. Critchell has just returned from
a fishing trip to St. Mary's reservoir.

Wm. Speck has just finished planting
his carnations. During the smnmer he
tore down seven old houses and replaced
them with five modern ones, which puts
his plant in fine shape.

Philip Popp has completed one new
house, 20x60, and remodeled his whole
plant. He grows .some of the best pot
plants seen in the flower market.

Jim O'Malley, the heavy-weight of the
florists in this city, is passing out 10-
cent cigars. The cause is the arrival of
a twelve-pound boy at his home. Three
babies in two weeks is the record of the
florists of this city. T>et us hope that
the end is not yet!

The next regular meeting of the Flor-
ists' Society will be held Saturday even-
ing. October 8. Let all attend, as busi-
ness of importance will come before the
meeting. C. J. Ohmer.

Iowa State Fair Notes.

Not to mention amateur displays of
beheaded asters, coxcombs, zinnias, pan-
sies. dahlias, etc.. without foliage, in
sand flats, seen too often before to men-
tal and diffestive distress, the profes-
sional exhibit as a who'p was scarcely
commendable. In the amateur class fine
material was wasted by the hundred-
weight: in fact, the qualitv here was
much better than the professional stock
uged. Doubtless in other states as well
as in Iowa, here is a field for educa-
tional work on the part of the state
florists' association's. Last year the
Society of Iowa Florists prevailed on
the State Board of Agriculture to raise
the value of the first premium for the
best floral design from $20 to .$3,'). sec-
ond. $25. third. $1.5. This year it would
seem advisable to make arrangement
score forty points in amateur as well
as in professional classes. Oi'«intity

remaining twenty-five points in judging
floral exhibits. Displays of gladioli were
good, asters fine quality, but poorly
shown, general collections good as to
variety, but lame as to arrangement.

A special feature which promised well
to cut flower displays was the fine new
Horticultural building with closed re-
frigerator cases. But instead of being
placed in the center of the room with a
view exposure from all directions, the
cases were set on side walls and poorly
lighted.

First premium was awarded to a
memorial arch and pillow in white
asters, carnations, Perle roses and
adiantums; second premium to a mass-
ive cross of solid white aster back-
giound with garland of Chatenay roses,
and a broad base, filled with Boston fern
plants embedded in sphagnum. The lat-
ter was much the better piece, but the
former was given the first place on ac-
count of the judge's preference for white
flowers in funeral work. It is a ques-
tion scarcely debatable why such ex-
hibitors so often choose funeral designs
rather than special exhibition pieces,
but we were treated to the other ex-
treme in the presentation of an aster
cow. and an aster pig With its snout
in an aster trough, the vertebrae of all
three pieces of ,furniture being out-
lined with adiantums! and this from a
professional in the year of enlighten-
ment, 1904! We need not sigh for com-
mon sense in amateur exhibits until we
elevate the professionals a peg or two.

The growers say that the early va-
rieties of sweet corn are safe, and that
there will be no scarcity of the late va-
rieties.

The past week has not given good bean
weather; too much moisture is not a
good thing at this time for beans,
whether harvested or still standing.

Visited Chicago: J. E. Killen, rep-
resenting Wm. Rennie, Toronto, Canada;
Alex Niven, London, England, who was
for thirty years in the grain business
at Constantinople.

The Jerome B. Rice Seed Co. has is-
sued its annual onion crop report, es-
timating the total crop as 2,835.365
bushels, as against 3,285,800 bushel.s
from the same districts in 1903.

Several car loads of peas from north-
ern Michigan have reached Chicago. The
samples are thought to represent in a
general way the year 's product from that
section and are reported to be very satis-
factory.

Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, report
that specimen vines with the fruits on
them just received at its office from sev-
eral cucumber seed growing sections
give very poor assurance of anything like
a good crop. The specimens received
cover most of the standard kinds.

Present indications point to a high
price for onion sets next spring. The
delayed harvest at many of the im-
portant growing points brought the end
of the harvest into bad weather condi-
tions, and when onion sets are harvested
wet there is little chance that they will
winter well.

.Tas. J. H. Gregory, Marblehead, Mass.,
writes September 19 : * * The cold spring
was unfavorable to early planting and
consequently our annuals, such as corn,
tomatoes and squash, are later than
usual, but are cropping exceptionally
well. The biennials, as a rule, kept poor-
ly, especially cabbage and onion ; conse-
quently the crop from these will be light-
er than the average. Carrots with us
are the exception, having passed through
in fine condition. They have seeded well
but are late and an early frost would
shorten the crop."

MAILING CATALOGUES.

The postoffiee department has at length
issued a ruling putting into effect the
act of Congress of April 28, 1904, under
which catalogues may be mailed without
stamps affixed. Copies of the circular
are not yet available for general dis-
tribution at all postoffices but are ex-
pected to be shortly. Summarized the
procedure is as follows:

First one must make application to his
postmaster for a permit to mail matter
under this law. Such application need
be nothing more than a letter to the
postmaster, who will forward it to the
third assistant postmaster general at
■Washington for approval. At the Chi-
cago postoffiee it is supposed that this
permit is good until revoked, although
the superintendent of mails has no in-
formation on this point.

Permit in hand, the matter must be
prepared with a prescribed form of re-
turn card in the upper left corner of
the address label, name of sender and
office of mailing. In the upper right
corner must appear the words, "Third
class matter, paid in money," stating the
amount of postage on each piece and
the permit number. The size of type,
even, is prescribed. The separately ad-
dressed pieces must be all faced one
way and separated into states, cities,
etc., or tied in packages of a given num
ber, as the postmaster may request.

The matter mu5t be presented for mail-
ing at the place designated by the post-
master, accompanied by a statement on
a form which is provided, showing num-
ber of pieces (not less than 2000 iden-
tical pieces), permit number, class of mat-
ter and weight of a single piece, signed
by the person to whom th? permit is
issued. If all in due form currency must
then be paid at the same rate as though
stamps were affixed.

PANSY SEED.

Some time ago I ordered a pound of
pansy seed from a firm in London, Eng-
land. The seed reached my postoffiee
September 3, accompanied by a notice
from the postmaster at New York to the
postmaster here to notify the nearest cup-

THE SEEDSMAN'S ASSISTANT.

Under date of September 23, Howard
M. Earl, of W. Atlee Burpee & Co.,
sends out a lengthy letter in which he
takes exception to certain statements
of fact in a book called "The Seed-
man's Assistant," by Charles Johnson.
Under date of August 6 we received the
following letter which we think sum-
marizes Mr. Earl's criticism:

O" Our good friend, .Mr. Charles Johnson. In his
book entitled "The Seedsman's Assistant,"
goes beyond the safety line when he gives
synonyms for the benefit of the uninitiated. His
compendium of the sources of supply will do
no one any special hurt, neither will ^Us list
of how much seed should go Into ar packet.
His argument in favor of the seed product of
one section as compsred with that of another
is another pool not too deep for a footing in
case of cramp. In my opinion, however, the
synonym part of the book would l)etter have
been left out. I say this as much for the sake
of Mr. Johnson's reputation as for the well-
being of any who may be inclined to consider
his long erperienoe a sufficient surety for the
correctness of his list. JOHN M. CLARK,

Sec'y Leonard Seed Co.

A POTATO AUCTION.

W. W. Johnson & Son, the well-
known seedsmen of Boston. England,
recently adopted a novel method of
distributing a new potato, named Pearl.
After selling considerable quantities at
the high price of £7 10s per pound, they
had sixty-four hills remaining in their
trial ground and announced an auction.
A good crowd having assembled, one hill
was opened, discovering twenty tubers
which were bid in for £13 lOs. Then
the remaining hills were sold without
opening, each being tagged with the
purchaser's name as sold. The average
price was £9 per root. After all had
been bid in, the purchasers were per-
aiitted to uncover their seed.

IT IS TO LAUGH.

The following is an extract from an
article by Bene Bache, published in a
recent issue of our venerable contempo-
rary, the Saturday Evening Post:

Fbrty thonsand acres of glass In the neighbor-
hood of Boston alone are now devoted to the
forcing of vegetables. In order that a privileged
and luxurious class may have celery, lettuce,
tomatoes, canllflower and cacnmbera In wint«'.
By the adoption of ingenious, yet simple, expe-
dients, au artificial summer Is maintained all
the year around, and even the climate of the
tropics is counterfeited for the growing of prod-
ucts belonging to but intltudes. In such ways
no less than |5,000,000 worth of table delicacies
is raised tot market in this country annually,
no price being deemed too high to pay for dain-
ties that are out of season.

Thus lettuce is grown in the soath in "cold
frames," to meet the Christmas demand, and
the gardener, when this crop has been gathered.
Starts egg plants under glass sashes. Electric
lettuce, forced under arc lights, is raised on a
considerable scale near Boston, the plants be-
ing compelled by this means to woric night and
day. It may be a hardship for them, but when
the pro4act fetches $3 a dosen heads a poor
vegetable has nc rights that the commercial
horticulturist feels bound to respect. Hothouse
lettuce supplements the cold-frame output, and
thus the delicacy, green and crisp, is obtainable
In any month of the year.

Winter cucumbers are grown on overhead
trellises, being made almost seedless by re-
strlctinc the stock in a greenhouse to a single
variety, to prevent cross-fertilisation, and to-
matoes are Ingeniously manipulated by cutting
the plants down and removing all but a certain
number of fruits, which not only attain ex-
traordinary sise and juiciness, but ripen consid-
erably ahead of time. Such tomatoes fetch 40
cents a pound, but they are worth it, consid-
ering the fact that they may be purchased all
through the season when outdoor ones are un-
obtainable.

The earliest rantaloupes are from New Or-
leans and fetch $1.50 each. Twice that price is
paid sometimes for cantaloupes grown on trel-
lises, each individual fruit being suspended in
a sort of sling, with a piece of board a foot
square to rest upon, so that it cannot suffer
defilement by contact with the earth.

Shades of Benjamin Franklin! What
tommy-rot ! And what a lot of glass
in the neighborhood of Boston. Forty
thousand acres is 1,742,400,000 square
feet. The census of 1900 discovered in
the whole United States a total glass
area of but 96,230,420 square feet (2,-
209 acres) devoted to cut flowers, plants
and vegetables. This is only one-
eighteenth of what Mr. Bache attributes
to vegetables alone in the neighborhood
of Boston!

Uppeb Sandusky, 0. — S. O. Streby
says the summer season has been about
as usual, and that prospects are for bet-
ter trade than ever this fall and winter.

A SKETCH of the life of the late Ja-
' cob Warren Manning has been reprinted
in neat pamphlet form from the "Mas-

of Popular Biographies."

A SUMMARY of the new postoffice rul-
ing under which catalogues may now
be mailed in quantities of not less than
2,000 identical pieces without stamps af-
fixed will be found on page 910 of this
issue.

A European nurseryman states, in a
catalogue just to hand," that "at the
prices quoted we send out good stuff, not
fragments of plants," which is on a par
with the assertion of a western nursery-
man whose catalogfue declares that "no
plants shipped by mail; we do not deal
in microscopic specimens. "

send you the following statement of

FROM OUR ENGLISH EXCHANGES*

The Gardeners' Chronicle.

A RO^B=T:»fcQRED^ hybrid astilbe has
been exhibited Byyan Waveren & Kru-
ijflf, Haarlem, Holland, and has received
much notice.

SiNNiNGiA Eegina. — This species was
exhibited last year at the Ghent quin-
quennial show as Gesneria regina, by
M. De Smet-Duvivier, from whom a
plant was purchased for Kew, where it
flowered in April and May, 1904. From
the most cursory glance it was obvious
that the plant was not a gesneria, and
on examination it proved to be a sin-
ningia (gloxinia of gardens), allied to
S. discolor and S. Menziesiana. S. re-
gina is reported to have been introduced
with a cattleya from Brazil, but until
this is confirmed by properly authenti-
cated wild specimens, the possibility of
a hybrid origin cannot altogether be ex-
cluded. Sinningia regina is a strik-
ingly handsome plant, about nine inches
high, with dark green, velvety leaves,
purple on their under surface. The flow-
ers are pale violet and drooping, and
are borne on long flower-stalks, four to
six together in the axil of each leaf; as
two successive pairs of leaves are usually
close together on the stem, the effect is
that of two many-flowered whorls, and
is very fine. The duration of the flow-
ering period is about six weeks, so that
this plant is likely to become a favor-
ite. The stock has recently been ac-
quired by Ernst Senary, Erfurt, Ger-
many.

The Kentucky Tobacco Product Co.,
the manufacturer of the old and well-
known Rose Leaf tobacco extract, is pre-
paring to put another insecticide on
the market. This is a tobacco-paper
and has been given a thorough trial by
some large growers, whose endorsement
leads to the decision to push the new
fumigant, which has been given the
name of "Nico-fume."

PiERRB^ S. D. — Enoe & Barney have
completed their greenhouse, received their
stock and are ready for business.

McHenry, III. — John F. Miller has
added 3,500 feet of glass and is instal-
ling a thirty-five horse-power steam boil-
er. He expects to do more business than
ever this season. Stock is good.

Aurora, III. — J. H. Newhall and John
Brick, who have been connected with
the Aurora Nursery Co.. will go into
business as the Aurora Greenhouse Co.
They will proceed at once with the erec-
tion of about 5,000 feet of glass, which
they expect to extend in the spring.

The First Steps !

"I have several times been consulted
by those who would make a besinning
in the Florists' business. In each case I
have said that the first step is to sub-
scribe for a Trade Paper, and the next to
procure a copy of The Florists' Manual."

The Market

The past week's business was very
regular, with a heavy demand for Beau-
ties, valley and the better grades of
roses and asters. The poorer grades
had no call. A killing frost September
21 destroyed nearly all the asters,
gladioli, cosmos, dahlias, etc., but with
carnations and chrysanthemums coming
in their shortage will not be felt.

The quality of roses is rapidly im-
proving. Very little mildewed stock is
in evidence but short-stemmed rases are
abundant and are bought at one's own
figure. American Beauty roses are fin©
and many more of the better grades
could be sold. The demand for Harrisii
and longiflorum lilies is heavy. There
are not nearly enough to go around.
Among the best carnations arriving
now are Enchantress, Joost and Flora
Hill. Great quantities of short-
stemmed white (outdoor stock) find
their way to the dump. Reports in
general indicate that chrysanthemums
will be of excellent quality and very
plentiful in this section.

Varioti$^otC84

I spent a day at Bakerstowil recently.
The place of the Pittsburg Rose & Car-
nation Co. is in the usual pink of con-
dition. All stock has been planted for
some time and the plants look very
promising. About 40.000 chrysanthe-
mums grown at this place are as fine
as one could wish to see. They cut
their first Bergmann early last week.
Roses and carnations are made a spe-
cialty and they produce the gilt-edged

stock, too. Their roses are all grafted
stock.

The first shipment of carnations from
M. C. Dunlevy & Sons was received last
week; the blooms were fine.

Randolph & McClements were kept
busy with several decorations last week
and considerable funeral work last
Saturday and Sunday.

F. Breitenbaugh & Bro., who are the
largest growers of fuchsias in this
vicinity, have their place in tip-top
shape and the prospects for a heavy
cut of roses and chrysanthemums is
good. John said his Little Beauty
fuchsia is holding its own, with an in-
crease of sale each year.

G. & J. W. Ludwig furnished the
bulbs and seeds for the Allegheny city
park system. The contract was a good
one.

PROPAGATING HOUSE.

Our potting shed runs east and west.
Our greenhouses extend south from the
potting shed. Can you advise us as to
the best place to construct a propagat-
ing house, on the north of the potting
shed or on the east, south or west of
the greenhouses? T. S. C.

As your potting shed runs east and
west and your houses run south from
it, we would say there is no question
where the propagating house should be,
viz., running south from the shed and
parallel to your east house. If easy to
make a good substantial gutter, then it
might be attached to the east house.
If not handy to do that, then keep it
away a few feet.

Although not asked for, allow me to
say that an equal span house eleven
feet wide makes an ideal propagating
house, with all the pipes beneath the
boardcd-up bench. One side is used
for propagating, the other for the
potted-off stuff for the first two weeks
after potting. A 12-inch board on
each side should be hinged to either
swing up or down in cold weather to
give heat to the house. In mild
weather you need no top heat and little
fire. W. S.

CLIMATIC CONDITIONS.

There is nothing quite as important
to the nurseryman in California as the
season's rainfall. With us our selling
season does not begin until after the
first good rain, which generally falls
about the middle of November. This
rule held good for a great many years,
but for the past few seasons we have
not had the same climatic conditions as
before, and as a consequence considera-
ble loss was entailed, both on the buyer
and seller. When I say our seasons
seem to be changing somewhat, I make
a broad assertion, but anyone who has
been as vitally interested as are the
nurserymen and florists of this locality
cannot have failed to note it. This
summer, as well as the two previous
summers, we hardly saw the sun at all
during the months of May, June and
July. We had very warm weather dur-
ing April, and our hottest days were in
the early part of September^ and now
that we are toward the end of that
month, it is raining heavily, something
entirely out of the ordinary, for our
rainy season! should not begin for two
months (yety^

Now the effect on business: Our trade
in California usually commences about
December 1, and the' bulk of it is over
by April 1. After that we have about
a month that we devote to the plant-
ing of soft stuff and annuals. Last De-
cember was dry and cold and early in
thf^year it commenced to rain. We* had
a 'deluge during the months of Febru-
ary aAid March, the time we should be
very^u8y shipping orders, but we could
not dig and our customers could not
plant, and the first thing we knew it
was the first of April and before we
knew it deciduous stock had leaved
out so much that it could no longer be
handled. Many of our nurserymen had
large orders they were unable to deliver,
and considerable financial loss was the
result.

These conditions do not apply to
southern or northern California, where
the climates are very different, hut in
the vicinity of San Francisco several of
our late seasons have been "corkers,"
for at the longest our selling season is
not over five months in length, and
when we miss a couple of months' sales
on account of our weather we have to
wait a whole year before things can
come our way again. G.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

Wf .iflve had quite a shower this
week, something very unusual for this
season of the year, but it is a welcome
change from the extreme heat of a
fortnight ago. Fl*\ftrs ark not plenti-
ful. Carnations are in the midst of
their resting season and good stock of
all kinds is rather scarce. Roses, what
few are shown in the windows, are of
good color and stem, and the dark,
cloudy weather of the last week has
had a very beneficial effect on them.
Bridesmaids are about the best that are
offered, and they wholesale at from 50

ing at the same price, and a few Kai-

about disappeared, and longiflorums are
being offered in small lots at from $2
to $2.50 per dozen. Indoor • crysanthe-
mums show the effects of the hot
weather. There are only a few out-
door miuns in market thus far, hut
within the week there will be at^^Kfan-
dance. Sweet peas are passing very
rapidly. "Valley is plentiful and smilai
is becoming longer on the string and
of firmer quality. , — ^

Business, in spite of the. fact that we
have just finished with the Knights
Templar conclave and are now in the
midst of the Odd Fellows' encampment,
is quiet, although we have had more
than the usual amount of funeral work
during the past two weeks. I think in
a week or two we will drop into our
regular fall business, however, ^and
things in the florist line will appear
much brighter.

SHASTA DAISY.

Will you kindly advise me through
your valuable paper as to the culture of
the Shasta daisy? If I sow the seed
now and keep them growing will they
bloom in March or April next, or do
they not stand greenhouse culture!
Would it pay to give them greenhouse
space? J. E.

As this question comes from Seattle,
where the wirrters are so much milder
than our north Atlantic slope, I don't
feel 80 confident about giving good ad-
vice. Yet knowing what little I do
about the mild climate of Seattle, wftuld
say that with seed sown at once and
transplanted into permanent beds, they
would thrive during your winter and
flower in spring and continue to flower
for a great part of the summer. In
your favored clime, where roses and
many other of Flora's gems grow and
flower so freely during a long season,

German and Japanese Irises.

In the 5i VIEW for September 15 ap-
pears a query atout irises, Japanese and
German, ''oncc-aing which I should like
to give an ojtiuion. Japanese irises need
damp grouna and high feeding and are
not the best companions for German
irises, which sue*, rod better with drier
treatment. They flower magnificently in
California, even when baked up from
May till October. As to the host time
for moving them, Peter Barr once told
me that he divided and moved his di-
rectly after tlcwering :\r.\ I Vu.ve found
the practice very satiet:(.?tory here \n
British Columbia.

Lilies, such as aura turn and speciosum,
like deep planting, eight to ten inr-ht^
from the top of the bulb. This gives,
them a bettor opportunity to make Item
roots and keeps the bulbs and roots
away from the hot surface soil. Unless
the soil be of a sandy nature it is well
to surround the bulbs with sand, thus
affording drainage and protection from
the attacks of slugs.

CREDIT WHEN DUE.

A wholesale cut flower dealer says
that it has come to his attention that
the average out of town customer ig
by no means slow to make complaint
whenever he is not satisfied with quality.
packing or promptness of a shipment
of stock, but that the same men are
usually very slow to express themselves
when they feel that they have been well
served; in fact, he says, it never seems
to occur thiat a few words of approval
might go much farther than a great
deal of blame in getting the kind of
goods the buyer wants. Not only do
a few words of appreciation serve as
an encouragement to greater efforts in
the future but they serve to give the
shipper a more definite idea of just what
character of goods are required to meet
the customer's needs.

VACANT BENCHES.

I have two vacant benches about five
inches deep and head roorii about two
feet in a house where gardenias are
growing. I would like to know what
to plant for late winter or early spring
flowering. L. F. W.

This will depend somewhat on the
time that the gardenias are thrown out
or removed. If at once, some short-
growing carnations, such as Glacier or
Estelle, would pay you as well as any-
thing if you could leave them there
until the end of June. If the gardenias
are planted out it is not likely you can
remove them for some time yet and I
cannot think of any crop that it would
pay to plant on the bench at that late
season. Yet there are plenty of things
that the bench would be useful for. If
the house is warm you could force tu-
lips, Roman hyacinths, narcissi or any
of the low-growing bulbs, to be fol-
lowed in spring by bedding plants.
Freesias do finely planted in four
inches of soil, but you can force thou-
sands of those in a comparatively small
area. You must be guided entirely by
what your market demands. W. S.

We use your PumUratlrfr Powder
and we are never troubled with
aphis; it Goes not harm the blooms
in the least, and we find It the

After using: your Fumlgratlntr Pow-

have yet tried.

I have been using- your Fumigat-
ing Powder for the last three years
and find It very eflfectlve. It Is
cheaper than the extracts and does
not shrivel the carnation as stems
do. Smoking two nights in succes-
sion will kill the green fly.

Yours truly,

KALAMAZOO. MICH,

A recent visit to the various places in
and around this city was one of much
pleasure to the writer. Starting at the
Dunkley Floral Co. 's, I found this
place, as always, in fine shape. Neat-
ness everywhere is the aim of this firm.
I noticed a nice lot of mums and a
bench of violets which were very prom-
ising. Then I took a trip out to S. Bat-
son 's, where carnations are a specialty,
and Sam certainly has prospects for a
very prosperous season. He had his
whole range overhauled this summer and
everything is very neat. Mr. Batson
accompanied me over to the Central
Michigan Nurseries, where I was met
by Mr. Smith, their foreman. His car-
nations are very fine, also the mums and
roses. The stock shows the hand of a
skillful and successful grower. The
nursery business is their main hold and
the outlook is for a record breaking sea-
son.

O. Van Bochove & Bro. have every-
thing in fine shape. Their carnations
are very fine, especially Enchantress,
Crane and Crocker. Their Beauties arc
certainly extra, also the teas, which are
very strong and showing a fine texture in
the foliage. A house of Meteors was a
sight, stems thirty to thirty-six inches
long. A lot of Nephrolepis Piersoni and
Adiantum Croweanum were very fine.
Their new foreman, W. Van Peenen.
takes pleasure in showing visitors around
this up-to-date place. The proprietors,
G. and J. R. Van Bochove, are well
pleased with the outlook for a very pros-
perous season.

I visited the new firm, Qrofvert & De
Smith, and a neater and better laid out
place could hardly be found. Their
houses, five in number, 13x125, Dietsch
patent, are built in the best style, con-
crete foundations throughout. A fine
salesroom and refrigerator of ample
space are parts of the equipment. A
brick boiler house with a seventy horse-
power boiler and a shed 14x100 feet are
attached to the north wall of the green-
houses. This firm will make roses and
carnations a specialty and will go into
the -retail business gradually. Mr. Grof-
vert was employed at G. Van Bochove &
Bro. 's and is well known here. Mr.
De Smith is a contractor of this city.
Mr. Grofvert is a single man as yet, but
there are rumors of marriage in the near
future with a young lady who calls Mr.
De Smith father, Toledo.

Benton Harbor, Mich. — The Twin
City Floral Co. reports its intention of
going out of the florists' business this
fall.

A Step in the Riglit Direction.

We protect the trade by selling direct to the
florist.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

Septkmbku 29, 1904.

NEWPORT, R. L

The most successful exhibition ever
held by the Newport Horticultural So-
ciety took place September 20 to 22 in
Masonic hall. Owing to the recent se-
vere storm, the display of dahlias was
not as large as it would otherwise have
been, but everyone here had this season
grown dahlias for this show in .«uch
quantities that what were exhibited
made a good average showing. On the
last evening the center of the hall was
cleared at 9 o'clock, and from then
until the orchestra played "America"
at midnight, dancing was thoroughly en-
joyed by the largest number of mem-
bers and their friends we have ever
had at an exhibition.

The principal jexhibitors and prize
winners were: A. S. Meikle, gardener
to W. S. Wells; Colin Robertson, gar-
dener to Mrs. Robert Goelet; David Me-
Intosh, gardener to Mrs. C. M. Bell;
James Robertson, gardener to Mrs. T. O.
Richardson; Samuel Matson, gardener
to Mrs. W. H. Osgood; Charles D.
Stark, gardener to Mrs. Geo. W. Col-
lard; John Marshall, gardener to Perry
Belmont; A. J. Pow, gardener to Mrs.
Cornelius Vanderbilt; James Boyd,
gardener to Mrs. Wm. Astor; Gibson
Bros., John Mahan, gardener to TT. D.
Auchincloss; Oscar Schultz, Joseph
Gibson, gardener to James Stillman;
Alex. Anderson, gardener to Mrs. T. J.
Emery; Miss Fadden, J. T. Allan,
gardener to J. R. Drexel; Samuel Wil-
liams, assistant gardener to Perry Bel-
mont; John Bluck, H. P. Burt, Taun-
ton, Mass.; F. B. Connolly, Mrs. T. 0.
Richardson,- W. G. Postings, gardener to
Mrs. Winthrop Chandler; Andrew
Christensen, gardener to Miss Fannie
Foster; W. S. Wells, M. B. Faxon, d.
C. Matley, gardener to J. G. Bennett;
C. D. Stark, Jr., S. Speers, gardener to
Mrs. W. B. Greene; Jas. Gartley,
gardener to H. H. Rogers, and others.

SEASONABLE ADMONITIONS.

Forcing the Blooms.

There is a great temptation just now
to rush the flowers along by turning on
the heat, because the market is waiting
and the demand good. To those who are
trying this forcing process I would say,
don't. In the first place it is practically
impossible to force a chrysanthemum and
the flower will develop more quickly in a
temperature of 50 degrees than in a
temperature of 70 degrees. The sun-
light is the only thing that will push the
flowers open. Given a touch of frost at
night and bright, crisp days, we can run
just a crack of heat in the mum house
and furnish ideal conditions for the rapid
development of the flowers, without any
high temperature.

Another reason why I say don't force
is because a high temperature is very
favorable to the increase of red spider
and black and green fly and since one
cannot syringe to any extent any more,
their presence at this time means a loss
of flowers. Fire heat also makes the
flowers very soft and liable to be easily
bruised, a very undesirable condition
when shipping to market.

Red Spider.

If red spider is present in any quan-
tity now you will see it in the bud, and it
may be necessary to do some spraying to
clean it out. I have several times seen
flowers completely spoiled by spider and
the grower did not have the faintest idea
what had happened to them until too
late to remedy the trouble.

Black Fly.

If the flowers are too far open to per-
mit any more fumigating and black fly
is present, tie a small piece of aphis
punk close up under the flower. The
nicotine will clean out every fly in short
order if the punk is fresh and that, too,
without the least injury to the flower.

Mildew.

Mildew is worse thau for some time
past. If you have a steam pipe, a lit-
tle sulphur will remedy that trouble by
painting it on the pipe, or the plants
may be sprayed with the sulphide of
potassium, using it in the proportion of
one ounce to a gallon of water.

Feeding.

Feeding should be stopped on any
variety as it shows color.

Several people have spoken to me
about their plants of Duckham cracking
at the neck, just under the bud. In some
cases this trouble has been so pro-
nounced that the plant has literally be-
headed itself and pushed the bud com-
pletely off. Duckham is a very strong
grower and, in common with other kinds
of a like vigorous constitution, does not
need nearly so much feeding as more
delicate kinds. If your plants of Duck-
ham are cracking at the neck stop feed-
ing and keep well on the dry side. It

must be remembered that growth in the
plant has now stopped and all the sap
is pumping directly into the bud and
feeding calls for the use of discretion.
Even an excessive supply of water on a
warm day may cause the stem to crack
when a plant has such a rooting system
as some of the present-day kinds show.
Duckham will, as a matter of fact, de-
velop two flowers to a plant just as well
as one.

Petals Damping.

If the petals are damping as the
flower opens, give a good coat of shad-
ing all over the roof of white wash or
whiting or mud, anything to break the
rays of the sun. It is all very well to
talk about sun-proof crimsons, but as
a matter of fact we find that almost
any variety will burn when we get, as
we often do, a bright, cloudless day
with the temperature running into the
eighties. The mum is a cool growing
plant and the high temperatures we get
in October are distinctly inimical to the
best development of the' flower. But
we must make the best of our disad-
vantages. Do not be afraid to shade,
and shade heavily, if conditions require
it, not only for the crimsons and pinks
but for every kind.

Merstham Yellow.

This variety, spoken of last week, was
exhibited before the C. S. A. committee
October 1 and scored ninety points as
an early yellow. It was very fine and a
prominent wholesaler remarked in my

liearing that he could sell 500 flowers
that day at 50 cents each if he could
only get them. Next year we will see
if he can make good his statement.

CHRYSANTHEMUM SOCIETY.

The Chrysanthemum Society of
America has arranged for the following
special prizes to be competed for at the
exhibition which opens at Boston No-
vember 3:

W. Wells & Co., Earlswood, Surrey,
England, offer gold, silver-gilt, and
silver medals, three prizes, for six
blooms of any of the Wells-Pocket set
of 1903, not less than two varieties to
be shown. Varieties eligible to com-
pete are: W. Duekham, Maynell, 3. T.
Wright, Harrison Dick, Leila Filkins,
F. A. Cobbold, Donald McLeod, Mrs.
T. Longley, Mrs. E. Hunt, Mary Inglis,
Hester Edwards, Pantia Ralli, Chel-
tonii. (He makes this offer through
Mr. Wm. Duckham.)

Chas. H. Totty offers $25, $13 and
$10 for a vase of twelve flowers of
Chrysanthemum W. Duckham.

A, Herrington offers $6 and $4 for a
vase of six blooms of any chrysanthe-
mum.

C. S. A. offers three prizes, $25, $15
and $10, for twenty-four blooms in
twenty-four varieties, on 15-inch stems.

The E. G. Hill Co. offers a silver
vase, to be known as The E. Q. Hill
Trophy, value $25, open to private
gardeners only, twenty blooms in
twenty varieties, one bloom to a vase.

Nathan Smith & Son offer $25 for
best twelve white chrysanthemums,
American or foreign origin, dissemi-
nated in 1904. To be judged from a
'•ommercial standpoint, stems not less
than thirty inches long, open to private
gardeners only.

The C. S. A. offers the C. S. A. silver
cup, value $20, for best ten blooms of
any chrysanthemum, one variety.

Sweet Alyssum.
Don't forget to plant, along the edge
of a carnation bed, some plants of the
double sweet alyssum. This pretty little
flower is very useful at all times. It
gives lightness and relief in designs
where flowers of too uniform a size are
used. Don't over do it, A plant every
three or lour feet, close to the edge
of the bed, will do no harm. I never no-
ticed that the carnation plant nearest
the sweet alyssum was less vigorous than
one in the middle of the bed.

To Get Good Fuchsias.

We don't see fuchsias grown as well
nowadays as they were some thirty years
ago, and we see an attempt at growing
them very near home that are complete
rubbish. They are not a success as a
flower-garden plant; our warm summers
are not what suits them. Yet there is a
large sale for them in the spring for
window plants. The failure to grow

strong, healthy plants is because at the
end of the selling season a few late-pro-
pagated runts are carried along, most
likely indoors. The wood is never
ripened and never will give strong cut-
tings. If you did as you should and
saved a plant or two of each variety
from the largest and strongest plants
you had early last spring and plunged
them outdoors during summer, they will
now be ripening.

Don't be afraid of a few degrees of
frost. It will kill the leaves but won't
hurt the wood. Then bring them in and
lay them down beneath a bench in your
coolest house, where they need no at-
tention for two months. That's their
resting time. Early in December if you
want large, early plants, get them up,
shake off the old soil, cut back the weak
growth and start growing and you will
get strong cuttings that will ^lake vig-
orous plants.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

October 6, 1904.

Plants raised from these ripened, dor-
mant fuchsias will want to grow and
not flower so precociously as does the
weak little stuff struck from a plant
that had no rest. The writer can look
back on the days when we grew fuchsias
thirty inches high and two feet wide at
the base, full of flowers in the month of
April, and sold them for $3 each, retail.
And a fuchsia is still a fuchsia.

Carnations in Pots.

There is always a call in the spring
for carnations in pots. Our customers
want them for their gardens. The busi-
ness man who can pick a carnation out
of his own garden and walk down the
street adorned, thinks the flower quite as
large and twice as beautiful as one he
buys of the florist. Thousands of plants
could be sold for a good price in every
city if they could be had. Perhaps it
should have been done two weeks ago,
but it is not yet too late. Lift plants
from the field that you considered too
small to bench. Pot into 5-inch pots
and plunge in a sound cold-frame. Of
course you will cover with glass and
shade for a week, or two and after that,
if the weather is favorable, remove the
sash whenever you can, because you want
them to go through the winter in this
frame. Double sash is a great protec-
tion in cold weather. You need not lose
ten per cent of them and they make
early and very satisfactory flowering
plants for the garden if planted out
about the middle of May.

Another plan to fill this want is to
root some cuttings at once, and carna-
tions root quickly and surely now.
Grow them on all winter and you can by
May have plants in 3^ -inch or 4-inch
pots with several shoots. These may
flower longer in the garden than the
old plants wintered over, but they will
not please your customer as well, as ho
or she does not want to wait until Au-
gust for flowers. Besides they have cost
you coal and labor, more than the cold-
frame plants.

A Retrospect.

While dipping into another man 's de-
partment I must again be slightly rem-
iniscent. Where are the carnations in
pots, in bud and bloom, that we used to
grow and sell in January and on to
spring t It seems to me they could be
easily grown for Christmas; not in pots
all summer, never, not with the greatest
of care. They must be lifted from the
field. We have lifted them as late as the
middle of October and had them in fine
shape by February. Of course, y(»u could
get some flowers long before tliat, but
for a pot plant you want a big show of
bloom at one time. Please excuse me,
but in the days when we dug up, potted,
watered and tied our plants with our
own hands, we have sold at $25 per 100,
La Piirite carnation plants in 6-inch pots
with sixty to seventy open flowers and
buds. I think that was the winter after
the panic of '73. Nevertheless it's a
fact. It's true that I^a Purite, carmine,
and Edwardsii and President Degraw
were very free-flowering kinds and
had no such length of stem as our pres-
ent varieties, yet it strongly aj)peals to
me that we have varieties just as suit-
able for pot culture as those old pioneers.
Lawson would be grand for the purpose
and so would Estelle and Galcier, and
there may be many of the splendid new
varieties that would make a good com-
pact plant.

John Thorpe, at Indianapolis, ' miggest-

ed that a prize should be offered for pot
plants. Nothing came of it. Can you
think of anything that would sell much
better than a well-flowered carnation
plant? There is nothing to it but to
try by stopping early flowering stems to
get a full crop of flowers at one time.

Propagating Summer Roses.

This is an excellent time to put into
the sand a big batch of Maman Cochet,
President Carnot, Kaiserin, Etoile de
Lyon or any of this class of summer-
flowering roses. As is well known, Co-
chet, pink and white, is queen of them
all, because it grows and flowers so
splendidly all summer long, and now,
when the cool nights are here, it is giv-
ing us grand flowers. They root easily
in the sand, with or without any fire
heat, but by the time you pot them off
you will have fires going and a warm
bench should be given them until they
have made roots. After that they will
winter in anv cool house.

Put in a lot, especially of Cochet, for
your own use. Plant them out in spring
in beds where they can be given copious
watering and you will have fine rose
buds when those in the house are thrown^
out. Kaiserin Augusta Victoria (what
a name) is, we think, indispensable for
summer cutting under glass and a bed
in a foot of soil will last for years. If
you have to make a new bed, these fall-
struck cuttings, grown on cool, are just
the thing.

Cyclamen.

Cyclamen, whether grown in frames
or indoors all summer, should now be
in their fiowering pots and on the bench
where they are to bloom. No sun will
hurt them now. Never let them be neg-
lected for water. Give them plenty of
space between plants. On bright morn-
ings spray them and let there be lots
of tobacco stems between the pots.

William Scott.

LIQUID MANURE.

As the bushes increase in strength
and crops approach maturity, the
nutriment in the soil will be more or
less exhausted and some provision
should be made to supply the deficient
elements. As plant food must be re-
duced to an assimilable state before
absorption can take place, the easiest
and quickest method is to convert it
into a liquid. The best and safest ma-
terial for this purpose is fresh cow ma-
nure, which contains nearly all the ele-
ments of plant food in their proper
proportions, and few of the caustic
principles so prevalent in chemical
preparations, which are so detrimental
to roses under glass.

The proper preparation of this ma-
terial is a very simple process, the ap-
paratus required for the preparation
and distribution being simple, inexpen-
sive and easily erected. A tank of suf-
ficient capacity to hold at least as much
water as would be required for one ap-
plication should be constructed and
placed convenient to the pump and con-
nected with the water pipes, so that it
can be used as a reservoir to distribute
from. A smaller tank to be used as a
mixer should be built on a higher level,
so that the contents can be drained
through a screen into the lower tank.
The smaller tank should be filled with
manure and sufficient water added to
start fermentation. After fermenta-
tion the liquid should be drained into

the reservoir and sufficient water added
to reduce it to the strength required.

The first applications should be
ratJier weak, till the plants get ac-
customed to this class of food, when
the strength can be increased to meet
the requirements of the plants.

The greatest benefit is derived from
this method of feeding if care is taken
to apply it only during bright weather
and when tie crops are at the right
stage to use it with effect.

There is great danger of sickening
the plants if applied when the soil in
the bench is too dry and, of course,
common sense will teach us not to sat-
urate the soil by using it when the soil
is too wet. If plants are sickly or in
a weak growing condition they arc in
no condition to derive benefit from
this form of feeding; in fact, it is the
means of aggravating the trouble.

Sheep, pigeon and chicken manure,
being of a more concentrated nature,
require the exercise of greater caution
when used for this purpose. Nitrates
and chemical preparations are only
safe in the hands of experts and any
experiments with these should, as a
matter of safety, be limited to a small
area. Watchfulness, careful observa-
tion and a close study of the attend-
ing conditions are absolutely essential
to the safe and beneficial use of these
compounds. Bibes.

APPLYING SULPHUR.

Will you inform me of the safest,
surest and cheapest method to apply
sulphur for mildew on roses, in houses
heated by hot water! J. V. L.

finely screened air-slaked lime and add
as much water as will bring it to tie
consistency of thick paint. Mix well
and apply to the pipes witli a brush at
spaces a yard or so apart. Close the
ventilators tightly for a couple of
hours during the coldest part of the
night, when the pipes are hottest. When
the pipes exceed 90 degrees tempera-
ture suflBlcient fumes will be released to
effect the purpose. This ought to be
repeated at least once a week till the
pest disappears. Eibes.

ETOmE DE FRANCE,

The popularity which has come to
Mme. Chatenay is having an appreciable
effect in the interest taken in the new
French rose, Etoile de France, which is
to be distributed this fall by J. Pernet-
Ducher. It is a seedling of Chatenay and
Fisher Holmes, a fine red in color and
said to be a very free bloomer and easy
to handle under glass. As the idiosyn-
cracies of Liberty have not yet become
generally mastered, many American rose
growers hope to find in this now candi-
date a successful rival of that variety
and one which all can grow. The accom-
panying illustration is from a photo-
graph supplied by the originator.

WITH BOSTON GROWERS.

Waban Rose Conservatories, Natick, Mass.

The largest producers of the queen of
flowers in New England are the Waban
Rose Conservatories in South Natick,
Mass., and it is needless to add that if
the quantity is great, the quality is of
the highest. The Boston market is a
critical one; it demands high grade
flowers and the growers who produce
such are the most prosperous. The qual-
ity of roses raised at the Waban factory
is second to none in America. This is
not at all surprising, seeing that the
manager for many years of this big
plant is Alexander Montgomery, the
highly respected president of the Amer-
ican Rose Society, a genial, unassuming
man, but without a peer as a rose grow-
er on this continent.

While the latter part of September is
hardly so interesting a time to visit this
establishment as later in the season,
when the quality of rose blooms is high-
er, there is plenty to profitably oc-
cupy one 's attention at any season of
the year. We were very favorably im-
pressed with the latest and largest house
erected. This is an even span, 40x700,
twenty-four feet to the ridge. It con-
tains 13,000 plants of American Beauty,
all in superb health. After visiting
numerous other houses of varying dimen-
sions we had to confess that the big
Beauty house was our favorite. The tem-
])erature was very even and the ridge
sufficiently high to cast no shade. We
asked Mr. Montgomery if they had any
trouble in maintaining a proper tem-
perature during the late severe Avinter.
He stated that on visiting the house
after midnight on the coldest night of
the winter, with an outside tempera-
ture of 30 degrees below zero, four
thermometers in the house gave the same
reading; viz., 59 degrees. At six feet
from the ridge there was not even a dif-
ference of half a degree, wliich would
seem to explode a popular fallacy about
houses being made warmer nearer the
lidge. On the coldest nights eighteen
lines of fteam pipes were used. In each

of two nearby houses 20x700 it was nec-
essary to use twelve lines of pipe to
maintain a night temperature of 56 de-
grees. In addition to the saving in fuel,
the larger house contains 7,000 less
square feet of glass surface which makes
it evident that large houses are more
economical to build and maintain than
an equal area in smaller ones.

The other two 700-foot houses are
planted with Brides and Bridesmaids.
Of these 50,000 are grown. Both in
these houses and in a number of others
they were in first-class condition. Mrs.
Pierpont Morgan fills many of the front
benches in the various houses. Plants
seven years old were just as vigorous as
younger ones. A smaller stock of Mrs.
Oliver Ames is grown. Liberty fills sev-
eral houses and in its color is considered
far the best, always selling well. One
house is devoted to Golden Gate and
Ivory. Mr. Montgomery stated that
there was a very limited sale for these
in the Boston market. A house 300 feet
in length is planted with a Waban seed-
ling, in the way of La Detroit, but
thought to be a better thing, for a small
portion of a bench containing La De-
troit was far outclassed by the new
seedling, which is not yet named. It
sells well in the Boston market, will be
shown at the coming chrysanthemum
show and will be introduced if the pub-
lic demands it.

A number of the oldest houses are
planted with Kaiserin and Carnot, which
were yielding a magnificent out of
bloom. What a contrast between these
houses, which were the finest in their
day and the modern giants near by!

Mr. Montgomery, Jr., has a good
many seedling roses under trial of his
own raising. He is ja«t as keen a
rosarian aa his father, so the future of

the Waban greenhouses seems to be as-
sured.

While roses are the principal feature
here, one or two other crops are grown.
Asparagus plumosus nanus fills two
large houses and looks particularly well.
Chrysanthemums are still grown to
some extent, about 7,000 single stems be-
ing planted this season. These are not
to be confounded with the average
florist's stock, but are carrying stems
like walking sticks, with heavy, leathery
foliage and buds denoting some mam-
moth blooms later. Flowers from Waban
always command the highest prices in
Boston and for many years swept the
decks at the exhibitions. We doubt not
but that they will be to the fore at the
coming meeting of the C. S. A. Some of
the popular varieties grown here are
Duckham, Appleton, Shrimpton, Eaton,
Bonnaffon, Maud Dean, Merza and Mrs.
.Jerome Jones. The last named is con-
sidered the best money-maker of the lot.
In regard to Merza, Mr. Montgomery
stated that it should be cut, the bot-
tom of the stems split and kept in cold
water at least forty-eight hours before
shipping and there would then be no
complaint about its not keeping well.

One house is devoted to lily of the
valley. Of this 600,000 are an-
nually forced. A model cold storage
house holds that number of pips, a
uniform temperature of 24 degrees being
maintained. It can be kept much cooler
if necessary, 13 degrees below zero hav-
ing been secured on a trial test.

The annual consumption of coal for
the Waban plant of some 300,000 feet of
glass is about 2,000 tons. This season,
instead of using soft coal exclusively,
additional strong draughts have proved
that a mixture of five-sixths pea coal and
one-sixth soft coal gives very gratifying

results. So hot is the fire from this
fuel that it has been necessary to length-
en the pokers for the firemen. The heat-
ing qualities are so satisfactory that it
will not be necessary to use so many
boilers as a year ago. The capacity of
the steam boilers varies from 100 to 175
horse-power. The boiler-room is a model
of neatness, as, indeed, is every part of
this establishment and a tour of inspec-
tion under the genial guidance of Mr.
Montgomery is as pleasurable as it is
profitable. W. N. Ceaig.

HAIL IN NEBRASKA.

part of the establishment of Brewster

& Williams, Grand Island, Neb., as it
looked just after a heavy hail storm had
passed over their place a few weeks ago.
Not only did they lose over 5,000 square
feet of glass but the plants were badly
cut up, both those in the field and in the
benches. The glass was insured with the
Florists' Hail Association. Not only
has the broken glass been replaced, but
1,400 feet of new glass has been added
and the stock is coming on in fine shape.

HOW "CROPS'* OCCUR.

I am a beginner with carnations and
am watching the notes in the Eeview
very closely. I hope you will find space
in the near future to tell us young hope-
fuls about the number of joints we must
leave when picking the carnation
blooms. What influence has this on the
size of the bloom following? How many
shoots should an average carnation plant
have now and later! Now please do not
tell us, as so many advisers do, that
<'it depends." We know "it depends,"
but we want to know on what these
things depend. J- M. K.

I fear I cannot answer the questions
you ask without saying that "it de-
pends," perhaps several times before I
finish. But I will endeavor to tell you
what depends and upon what it depends,
so that you will not be left in the dark.

The number of shoots an average car-
nation plant should have at this date,
to be profitable, must necessarily de-
pend on the variety more than anything
else. For instance, a variety which
crops into bloom about the middle of
November and again about April must
necessarily have more shoots now than a
variety that will break away as soon as
the bloom is cut and keep on throwing
up blooming shoots right along. Varie-
ties like White Cloud, Lorna, Governor
Wolcott, Floriana, Mrs. Nelson, Amer-
ica, Mrs. Palmer and many others,
should now have at least twelve to fif-
teen blooming shoots ready to run up to
bud, while such varieties as Harlowar-
den, Moonlight, Indianapolis, Mrs.
Lawson, and a few others will be profit-
able if they have eight or ten bloom-
ing shoots running up now. Of course
some of the plants will have more, but
others may have less.

There are many varieties which you
must have good large plants to start
with if you want to get much out of
them during early winter, because they
will make one crop (in quantity accord-
ing to the size of the plants), and then
take until spring before coming into
crop again. If you can have fifteen
good, strong leads to the plant ready to
start up now, or a couple of weeks ear-

lier, you will stand a good chance of
having a fine crop for Christmas and
after that crop will pay you well for the
bench-room. But unless you can man-
age to get a big crop you will find
those varieties less profitable than the
varieties which branch freely and keep
coming all the time.

Of this later kind, if you can get six
good blooms to the plant before Janu-
ary 1, you will stand a good chance of
coming out ahead. You ought to get at
least three times as many blooms from
January 1 to July 1 as you have up to
the first of the year and on an average
they will bring as much per bloom.

Not long ago I read an article from a
well-known carnation grower in which he
spoke of getting fifteen blooms per plant
before January 1. If he can do that he
ought to make money, as that would
mean at least forty-five blooms per plant
from most varieties and figuring the
blooms at 2 cents, that would make 90
cents per plant, to say nothing of the
cuttings. Another firm a year or two
ago praised a variety they possessed be-
cause it had produced three blooms per
plant up to December 1. I consider the
latter a very fair average. A variety
which will produce that many blooms per

plant by December 1 and be in good
shape to continue blooming steadily
ought to be profitable if the blooms are
of good quality.

Those who are growing the variety
Indianapolis will notice that long be-
fore the bud is ready to open, several
shoots are growing at the base of the
stem and, as soon as the bloom is cut,
these shoots run up to bud and before
all the buds of the first crop have opened
these shoots are showing the buds, in
that way keeping up a succession of
bloom through the entire season. Mrs.
Lawson does the same thing, only not
so pronounced and the breaks are higher
up on the stem unless these are removed
in order to encourage the lower ones
to start.

Some other varieties will not show a
sign of a break until the bloom is cut.
As there is a heavy crop of buds grow-
ing, they take up all the strength the
plant has and the young breaks come
very slowly until the crop is off and then
a whole new crop starts to grow at once.
Until these shoots run up to flower there
are no blooms to speak of. Some grow-
ers say that you can overcome this by
topping back part of the shoots as the
crop runs up, but you will find that it is
seldom very successful and I doubt if
the sacrificing of four or five blooms
to the plant out of this winter crop is
not greater than what is gained by it
on such varieties.

No iron-clad rule can be laid down
as to how many shoots should be al-
lowed to remain when the bloom is cut.
One variety may start only two good
shoots while another may start four and
the four will make just as strong growth
and as large blooms as the first named
two. It is the difference in varieties.
When disbudding varieties which start
the shoots early you should take off all
the young shoots down to where they are
strong and the stem is heavy and strong.
Try to keep the plant as compact as you
can. When cutting blooms from varie-
ties which do not break so readily bear
the same thing in mind and cut the stem
down to where the shoots will be strong.

I do not think that the number of
shoots a plant has will have much effect
on the quality of the blooms as long as
the shoots start from good strong stems.
A plant which is strong and sturdy will
nourish to perfection all the shoots that

can start from the main body of the
plant and are in position to draw their
strength through the main channels,
providing, of course, that the plant is
well established and the roots are in
good working condition and well fed.

JOOST AND QUEEN LOUISE.

I enclose some foliage from my Joost
and Queen Louise carnations. They
were housed from the field July 26 in
apparently good condition. Just pre-
vious to benching 1 shaded the glass
with whitewash, which I scrubbed off
about three weeks later. Do you think
1 shaded too heavily? I noticed some
rust and have given three applications
of blue stone through a syringe, diluted
to one one-thousandth. Can you tell
the trouble with these plants and the
remedy? J. P. K.

There is nothing to be alarmed about.
Perhaps you left your shade too dense
for a few days longer than was advisa-
ble, but I am inclined to think that you
watered a little too liberally before they
had the full sun and before the roots
were in good working order. Mrs.
Joost is one of the quickest varieties to
show it in this way; in fact, it is in-
clined to make this kind of growth after
any kind of a severe check unless they
are handled carefully after the check
occurs. The Queen Louise seems to be
affected less, but in the same way.
Keep them a little on the dry side and
give all the air and sunshine you can
and you will find the trouble will dis-
appear in a short time.

MAKING LIQUID MANURE.

This is the time of year that liquid
manure begins to be something of a
problem to chrysanthemum growers and
later on the rose growers will be con-
cerned with the question of making and
properly applying liquid stimulant.
Therefore I think many growers will be
interested in the system we have in use
on our place and which we find to be
the best of which we know. Nothing is,
to my mind, more unsightly than to come
into an otherwise well-kept greenhouse
and see several barrels of liquid manure
standing at the ends of the walks. There
is almost sure to be some leakage and
anyway more or less odor, which is very
bad business for one who sells his prod-
uct at the greenhouses and therefore has
numerous lady visitors. But to cut this
rather lengthy introduction short and get
down to business:

At the rear end of our range of eight
bouses we dug a pit ten feet long, six
feet wide and eight feet deep. Right
beside this, or rather at one end and
connected with it, we dug another pit
eight feet long and six feet wide, but
only four feet deep. We bricked up both
pits and finished the walls and bottoms
with the best Portland cement. At the
same time we built a brick wall nine
inches thick, up to the ground level to
divide the shallow pit from the deep
one. At the bottom of the smaller pit,
and communicating with the large one,
four holes each four inches square were
left. These were covered with wire cloth,
the heavy kind that is jised for coal
screens. The water pipe from the green-
house was run out over the small pit.
By putting a wagon load of good cow

manure in the small pit and turning on
the water we soon had a fine article of
liquid fertilizer in the deeper pit, free
from all straw, etc.

I then bought a good second-hand,
double-action force pump with a 1-inch
discharge. The feed pipe is at the bot-
tom of the tank of fertilizer. The dis-
charge is connected with the regular wa-
ter pipes. Now, for applying the liquid,
I go to the valve and turn the water off
from the houses; then I open the cock
connecting the pump with the water pip-
ing. The usual, hoiie is attached to the
ordinary hydrants around the houses, a
man is put at the pump and we go ahead.
The result is that with two men you can
apply liquid manure to twice the bench
space in half the time and do it thor-
oughly, giving an even amount and with-
out slopping. You can have the ferti-
lizer in any house where you have water.
When through, we close the valve be-
tween the pump and the piping, turn on
the city water again and open the spigot
over the smaller pit, which flushes out
the pipes and replenishes the supply of
fertilizer. If water was expensive we
could wait to catch rain in the gutters
and so fill the tank.

The system could be made any size,
to suit any range of glass. We have our
pits covered with a shed large enough
to permit of storing several loads of
manure. There are also a couple of
steam pipes to prevent freezing in win-
ter. This system is worth to any florist
more than the small amount or money it
costs. We would as soon think of giving
up our steam plant and going back to
brick flues as to give up our liquid ma-

nure apparatus and go back to the bar-
rel system. F. E. Crembr.

IRON VS. WOODEN GREENHOUSES.

[An abstract of a paper by Robert W. Kins,
of Toronto, Ont., and North Tonawanda, N. X.,
read at the convention of the CanadUn Horti-
cultural Association, at Ottawa, Ont.]

All improvements are accessories to
the best success, but if a man is so built
that he cannot grasp them, they are of
no benefit. This applies to more than the
houses: For instance, improved systems
of heating; boilers and economizers
placed above ground instead of in a
cellar; a pump to return the condensed
water rather than gravity; ventilating
machinery rather than a stick, or auto-
matic ventilation rather than hand ma-
chines; automatic stokers and coal and
ash handling machinery rather than the
old muscles and a shovel. As to the
benefit of all these, one may as well ask
what use a piano is in the house of a
man where nobody can play it. Some
may look upon it as an ornament and
with pride, and in this way it adds to
the sum total of human happiness.
After all, of what use is your mone^,
if you are blessed with having any, if
you cannot buy things you fancy and
you like and take a pride in having
themt The very pride you take in your
up-to-date greenhouses and equipment is
a stimulant to your success. Pride is a
good thing; it helps to keep a man
clean. Pride in your houses will help
you to keep them clean, too, and clean
houses are a benefit to the florist.

Let us take another view: Why in a
greenhouse is iron better than wood?
Because iron harbors no insects, and

wood does. Iron is attacked by chemical
action only, causing it to rust away. This
ia prevented, or should be, by paint. At
the same time that paint is a necessity
for other reasons (light) and pays its
own way. In structural parts that can
not be painted, avoid iron. Use con-
crete tile, etc., where practical. This is
the modern trend. Wood is akin to our
ovm bodies; it deteriorates from diseases
and in unhealthy pjaces dies an early
death.

Between the disease germ of the de-
caying wood of the old wooden houses
and the disease germ that attacks the
live wood of your plants, when by mis-
taken treatment or any other cause they
become weak and susceptible to disease,
there may be a closer relationship than
you think, all germs having great re-
productive power and their offspring the
faculty of changing form and appearance
to suit new conditions.

I have a living example of the ten-
dency of wooden greenhouses to harbor
injurious insects and disease. In sub-
nutting a proposal to build permanent
houses, the owner did not want them;
he said that in the course of about eight
years he found his houses got so lousy
that the best thing to do was to pull
them down, burn the refuse and build
new. I do not say but what he is per-
fectly right; he seems to be a success-
ful man; but his ideas on this as on
other phases of greenhouse work are pe-
culiar as compared with others. That is
all I have to say in their favor, but they
are his, he owns them and takes a pride
in them, and that is, as I said before, a
good thing. His pride in this case leads
to a very thorough house-cleaning at least
once in eight years.

Another aspect is light. Every ray
of light let into your houses has its
value, I do not care whether it comes
from the north, south, east or west. 1
took a vote on this question from some
of the live carnation growers in the west
this spring. It was unanimous with those
I questioned. One man called his head
grower up and asked him which bench
he took those prize carnations from. He

odds the worst in the house. Another
man, with glass in the north wall of a
rose house, plants tomatoes and other
tall stuff in the noith bed because as he
says, "You know the north light is no
use for roses." This man has excellent
tomatoes. It is the light that counts.
Let it in, and this can be done more
fully with iron construction than with
wood.

Another aspect is expense. It is said,
or granted, that iron is cheaper in the
long run, but wh it about the immediate
present with a slim purse? Well, I have
an old drawing and specification here for
a wooden gjileenhouse. The housfe is
twenty feet wide, with raised wooden
benches, the foundation cedar posts.
The specification ends: "a house of this
kind would cost heie (Ontario) about
$8.00 per foot, probably a little more,
heating and everything included." Eight
dollars a foot for a twenty-foot house is
equal to 40 cents per square foot of
ground covered. Our experience is that
you can put up the most modern green-
house to-day, including permt^nent tile
beds or benches, with heating, ventilation
and everything else included, ready to
plant, for about 45 cents per square foot
of ground covered, including power house,
sheds and all such accesories. My hearers
may form their own conclusions.

An examinatipn of this old plan opens
an interesting question. Have the
gardeners themselves kept pace with the
other improvements? It is not compara-
tively so in other walks of life. It has
been the saying in other trades that we
are not raising enough apprentices, that
we are not making mechanics any more,
to take the places of those who are drop-
ping out. The old-time millwiight who
could build a mill from top to bottom,
including his engine and boiler, or his
dams and water wheels, and run the
whole business when through, is a thing
of the past. Then it took seven years
to learn a tiade, now about two weeks
immediate experience at one little branch
on the outside of the tree of knowledge
and the same pay is demanded though
the trunk over and from which the other

pointed to the north bench of the house.
The house was even span, with glass on
all sides down to the level of the beds.
Another man had a wooden wall on the
north side of an even-span house. In
this case the north bench was by long

has laboriously climbed for those seven
years may never have been seen by him.
How is it that when that house was de-
signed you could build an eight-foot
bench, put in eight rows of plants, and
hire a first-class gardener to work it for

half the pay that you can get a man for
to-day to work a four-foot bench? My
last experience is that four rows of plante
is claimed to be too much; they have got
to be "staggered," reducing the bench
to three rows and a half, with three
benches to a twenty-two-foot house.

Gentlemen, I am no gardener, but I
can put a few figures together, and what
they tell me is this: That if to-day you
have got to build a twenty-two-foot house
to cover ten and a half rows of plants
where, in the paet, a twenty-foot
house would cover sixteen rows, you have
a handicap of forty per cent in area in
growing space to glass that you have had
to pay for and have to keep heated. I
would like this question ventilated for
the good of the craft, since it affects the
build of my houses and the recommenda-
tions I mase to my clients. I have ques-
tioned a good many of the old growers
who still stick to the wider benches and
say that they raise just as much bloom
and as good in the center rows as any
other, and that whether the frame of the
house is iron or wood it makes no differ-
ence, so if the c^uestion is solved on a
profit or loss basis, then I want just as
many plants in my iron house as you
have in your wooden structure, and one
of the old-style gardeners to run it?

The following suggestions have been
received. Since the expansion of the cut
flower trade, gardeners have expanded,
too, and become so fat that they cannot
stoop any more and demand high benches
and narrow, or they cannot do the work.
They claim, of course, to be able to
make up for the loss of space by the
superiority of their output, but, honestly,
gentlemen, is it so? Are Canadian-grown
roses any better to-day than years ago,
when the architect of those eight-foot
benches first took his flowers to New
York, and as some of my American
friends say, simply paralyzed the grow-
ers there, bringing home to Canada prizes
and cups galore? Why, gentlemen, we
had such a reputation at that time, not
through one man alone, but others as
well, some of whom are present here to-
day, that I can eye-witness to the fact
that the Yankees labeled their best roses
"grown in Canada" in order to com-
mand our prices!

In support, then, of my contention, I
submit that we miss the gardener ap-
prentice whose youthful training over
eight-foot benches for seven years has
bent and moulded" him in form till he
can snake his arms through the bushes
or hump his back to pick a flower or
clean a bush outside the reach of an ordi-
nary mortal.

What is this idea of "staggering" the
plants? Have any of you heard of it
before? It seems to me that if the rows
are kept square across the bench in-
stead of diagonally, as when "stag-
gered," that you have less distance to
reach to get at the center plants, the
difference being in proportion as the
base of a right angle triangle is to one
of its sides. To support the plants prac-
tically double the wiring is required and
a half row of plants lost to each bed. If
I am wrong will some one please call me
down?

I have followed greenhouse work for
sixteen years and consider that in design-
ing a house the first question to settle
is the width of beds and walks, then build
your house to suit and stick to it. Do
not change your ideas before your house
is barely up or without the very be.«t of
reason for so doing. Remember the
proverb that it is the poor workman that
finds fault with his tools. Rather Jot a

of house to suit his ideas. I have told
you before about the man who had tried
every style of greenhouse extant and
found he could grow j^rize stuff in them
all.

THE VAWTER CARNATIONS.

To the followers of our craft who
visit California there are few more in-
teresting sights than E. J. Vawter 'a car-
nation fields at Ocean Park, not far
from Los Angeles and less than a mile
from the ocean. Here are twenty acres
in carnations, aggregating 100,000
plants from which from 8,000 to 10,000
flowers are cut each day in winter and in
the spring from 12,000 to 20,000 daily.
There are also five acres of violets which
will yield from 1,000 to 1,500 bunches
daily from November to May, each bunch
containing fifty flowers. Two acres are
in roses and three acres in bulbous stock,
all grown outdoors summer and winter,
although lath houses are in use on the
place.

The following story of how these fields
came into being will be of interest:

Five years ago Mr. Vawter was ap-
proached with a proposition to rent a
part of his place that was then being
farmed. An outdoor florist contracted for
the place, making all his arrangements
to start there a carnation field. At the
last minute, grown fearful, he refused to
sign the contract, and one man 's conserva-
tism was again another man 's oppor-
tunity. Mr. Vawter, who had never had
more than an aisthetic interest in flowers,
liad become interested in the scheme for
a garden on his place and determined to
carry out the plans himself. Consequently
5,000 cuttings were bought, which, after
Mr. Vawter had returned to his farm
and harvested a crop of barley from the
prospective carnation fields, were duly
planted. Todav he is selling from 5,000
to 10,000 blooms daily, his principal mar-
ket being Los Angeles. Mr. Vawter could
say with Kipling:

And I took the chances they wouldn't, and now
they are calling It luck I

Ocean Park affords an ideal situation
for carnation culture. The ground rises
gently from the ocean, and on the eastern
and the southern slope, protected from
the winds, the grade insuring at all times
perfect drainage. In the flats beyond are

grown lilies, roses and violets, but the
carnations are the specialty, the hardiest
as the most gratifying, so sure are the
returns.

There is a pumping plant at the foot
of the hill whence the water is sent up
to a tank of 100,000 gallons capacity,
then piped over the field.

The plants are all raised from cuttings,
are started on the bench, and, as soon as
they are rooted, are put in pots and later
set out in the ground. After their sec-
ond season they are thrown away and
their place filled by new plants.

A CALL ON JOHN DUNLOP.

Though in these days of mammoth
greenhouses Mr. Dunlop 's glass at To-
ronto, Ont., may not cover more than
three acres, it has since its beginning
been famous for perfect order, cleanli-
ness and neatness, as well as the high
quality of its product, more especially
roses. The writer recalls the time Avhen
the executive committee of the S. A. F.
held its meeting at Toronto in February,
1891, not so remote a period, and yet
the man who owned 100,000 feet of glass
was a big man and there were only a few
of him. The committee journeyed out
westward to see John 's wonderful roses.
The street cars took you to within a mile
and a half of his houses and then you
had to walk through or over brick yards,
sand pits, goose commons and other pic-
turesque scenery. Nowadays all this ter-
ritory is built up with pleasant residences
and a speedy trolley car lands you at the
front door of Mr. Dunlop 's substantial
residence.

Here can be seen a dozen houses of
carnations planted at various dates, some
as early as April, some lifted from the
field early in July and others planted as
late as the middle of August. Those pur
on the bench the middle of April, of
which there were Lawson. Enchantress
and others, looked large, bushy and in
the best of health. Yet Mr. Dunlop says
this means a sacrifice of at least two
months of most profitable cutting and
unless you can plant as early as that and
get the plants established before very
warm weather, he prefers growing therii
six to seven weeks in the field and lift-
ing early in July. To all of which I
most devoutly say amen. Mr. Dunlop be-

lieves in giving nearly all the new va-
rieties a trial and then goes heavily into
what suits his soil and culture.

Among others he says he has discarded
all crimsons but Harlowarden and in
scarlet he grows Elstelle grandly. Nearly
all the carnations are grown in houses
which are now his oldest range, built
when the short span to the south was
the fad. On remarking that I supposed
he would build no more like that, he re-
plied, "No, I guess not, but they grow
good flowers," and that is verily true,
as the writer can testify from frequent
visits, seeing both roses and carnations
as well done as the best, which all goes
to show that the man and his methods
have more to do with success than costly
structures or up-to-date architecture. Yet
that's no reason why the most thorough
man should not have the most up-to-date
houses, and Mr. Dunlop has them, many
of them. There is one style he has not,
a remnant of an old style, to be seen in
many places yet but considered a relic
of the past with nearly all the very large
growers, viz., the long span to the south,
with all its waste of ground, expensive
structure and awkwardness of manipula-
tion.

We were mostly interested in the large
blocks of rose houses with the gutters
up some seven feet and, of course, no
partitions. The pipe (the whole place
is steam) runs along the edge of the
benches, or rather beds, for there were
no raised benches in these rose houses.
The walls of the beds were mostly con-
irete and some seventeen or eighteen
inches high. These are not solid beds by
any means, as all had ample drainage. I
can 't see but what this style of range
is about as light as outdoors and if you
can't grow roses and carnations in them
to as near perfection as they can be
grown, you must lay the failure to some
other cause, not the style of house.

All the roses without exception looked
well, not a particle of mildew, and the
early planted promising an early and
vigorous crop. As with carnations, Mr.
Dunlop believes in testing the new va-
rieties. He believes strongly in Mme.
Chatenay. Though small plants, he says,
when received in mid-summer, they are
now making strong two-foot flowering
growths.

Mr. Dunlop is a strong and consist-

ent believer in grafting all Lis tea roses
and the beds of Maids and Brides and
some late introductions of grafted stock
compared with a few hundred of each
on their own roots showed a marked
strength of growth in tavor of the for-
mer. Whatever question there is about
the cut from these grafted roses the
whole season through, there can be no
mistake that up to January at least they
will give a bigger and a better crop
of flowers.

Two large propagating houses pleased
me very much, because they are con-
structed on what we think is just the
right principle, not a steam pipe to be
seen, but when weather demands it,
hinged doors are opened along the sides
of the boarded up benches and that is
top heat enough. At present large quan-
tities of excellent valley were being cut
from these benches.

Altogether this is a model place, run
by a strictly business man and everything
is produced to supply the firm's fine
store on King street. W. S.

CANADIAN CUSTOMS.

A new customs regulation took effect
October 1. A new form of invoice is re-
quired, of which two copies must be
filed. It states, besides the quantity and
kind of goods, the fair market price of
the goods when sold for consumption at
the place from which exported, and the
actual selling price to the purchaser in
Canada. Attached to the invoice must be
the following certificate:

I, the undersigned, do hereby certify as lol-
lows:

(1) That I am the exporter of the gooda in
the within Invoice mentioned or described.

(2) That the said invoice la in all reapecta
correct and trne.

(8) That the said invoice containa a trne and
foil statement showing the price actually paid
or to be paid for the said goods, the actual
qaantlty thereof, and all charges thereon.

(4) That the said invoice also exhibits the
fair market value of the said goods at the
time and place of their direct exportation to
Canada, and as when sold at the same time
and place In lilce quantity and condition for
Itome consumption, in the principal markets
of the country whence exported directly to
Canada, without any discount or deduction for
cash, or on account of any drawback or bounty,
or on account of any royalty actually payable
thereon or payable thereon when sold for home
eonsumption, but not payable when exported.
or on account of the exportation thereof or for
any special consideration whatever.

(5) That no dlfiferent invoice of the goods
mentioned in said Invoice has been or will be
furnished to any one.

(6) That DO arrangement or understanding af-
fecting the purchase price of the said goods
has been or will be made or entered into be-
tween the said exporter and purchaser or by
any one on behalf of either of them, either by
way of discount, rebate, salary, compensation,
or in any manner whatsoever other than as
shown in the said invoice.

It will be well for all shippers of

goods into Canada to take notice of these

new regulations in order to save their

customers time and trouble in claiming

their goods. J. Gammage & Sons.

SHADING,

Do the following need shading in
winter: All kinds of flowering bego-
nias, especially B. rubra ; kcntias, arecas,
chamaerops and crotons, three kinds.

J. R. M.

"What are the winter monthst We
sometimes have fine, mild weather un-
til the first of December and. then
again, too often "winter lingers in the
lap of spring." We will suppose the
inquirer means by winter the months
of November to March. If so, then the
question is easy to answer.

No, bv no means do anv of those

plants mentioned need any shade what-
ever during those months and you also
might safely include the month of
October, with the exception of the
arecas. All the palms mentioned can
be plunged outdoors during the hot-
test months of summer if not neglected
for water. Crotons make fine foliage
beds in the broad sun and too much
shade, even in summer, is the curse
of most all the flowering begonias.

The writer has more than once ex-
pressed his opinion that many florists
are too late in removing shade in the
fall and too late in applying it in the
spring. We have not yet arrived at
an. inexpenrive means of a^djustable
shading that can be used on a large
scale. It will be a blessing when we
do. Many plants would be benefited by
a shading on bright days in March and
greatly impaired by the same shading
on wet, dull days in May. W. S.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

The early days of October have
brought a decided improvement in
the tone of the cut flower market. Car-
nations are getting better. They are
firmer in price and in brisk demand,
the Flower Market reporting some
good shipping orders. Chrysanthemums
of excellent quality are coming in more
freely. S. S. Pennock received 400
fine blooms on Monday. The varieties
are Polly Rose and Glory of Pacific.
Edgar & Co. are receiving the former
variety, while Wm. Swayne, of Ken-
nett,, is sending Mrs. Kalb, white, and
Polly Rose to W. J. Baker. Beauties
are in demand, but tea roses and val-
ley lag a little.

The departemnt stores are now open-
ing a new set of departments prop-
erly decorated. Foliage plants, wild
smilax and other greenery, dahlias,
cosmos and the last of the hydrangeas,
many colored, including the bronze of
decay, are the principal materials used.
Saturday saw great political activity.
The Wm. Graham Co. had a handsome
dinner at the Union League at which
Beauties, Liberties and other choice
flowers were used. Then there were
decorations at the Academy of Music,
Academy of Fine Arts, the Manufact-
urers' Club and other places. This
week Pennock Bros, decorated Van
Sciver's furniture store opening in
Camden with wheat, com, greens and
foliage plants, a typical harvest-home
decoration. Hugh Graham had deco-
rations at Blum Bros.', the Bingham
House and several weddings. J. J.
Habermehl's Sons had another deco-
ration at Wanamaker's.

West Grove.

After a short drive, during which the
question whether or no Patrick's fidelity
to the hitching post should be rewarded
by a dinner of oats was finally
flecided in the affirmative — these cor-
poration men yield so gracefully — the
Inn was reached. Here a substantial
dinner was fully enjoyed, mine host of-
fering his best cigar by way of cash
discount — gladly accepted by Mr. Con-
ner but declined by the pipe-loving Phil
— coupled with a cordial invitation to
come down in the summer and spend a
week.

The rejuvenated Patrick soon brought

the buggy to the famous place of the
Dingee & Conard Co., where in a sub-
stantial oflice building the visitors found
Joseph Lynch, the secretary and mana-
ger, who received them most kindly.

The prompt interference of Mr. Con-
ner prevented Phil from seating himself
in a capacious scrap basket supposed to
be an easy chair and after a short chat
the two proceeded to tour the place.

There are seventy houses devoted to
roses planted out in benches, grown for
propagating exclusively. A fine shed
runs the length of the place, the houses
opening on it from both sides. Four
Ericsson hot air engines keep up a
strong pressure of rain water in the
pipes. The party were joined by the
foreman, Edward Parker, an old ac-
quaintance of the Penrose Nurseries,
later with Samuel S. Pennock, who point-
ed out with pride a shed running at
right angles to the main one. It was
filled with a few million pots, dizzy num-
bers, neatly stacked ready for the young
rose plants. This shed, but a few years
old, has already paid for itself in
breakage saved.

The rose plants were in good growing
condition, full of breaks, promise of
good cuttings in plenty. The method of
handling is very interesting. The plants
from 2-inch pots are planted out in
benches, containing about four inches
of soil, at a distance of about twelve
inches. From each of these plants an
average of one dozen young plants is
produced. At the end of six months the
parent plants are potted up into 4-inch
pots. The benches are cleaned, refilled
and another lot of 2-inch roses planted
out. So on every six months. The soil
in the benches is never used for potting
up stock but always thrown out. Some
samples of young stock struck this
spring were thrifty and full of vigor.

A theory advanced by Mr. Lynch and
supported by Mr. Parker, that a single
plant of one variety in a bench of some
other sort always outgrows the rest, no
matter what the varieties may be, was
vigorously combatted by Phil. They
said it was a fact. The reasons could
be surmised but not easily explained.
Phil thought these wanderers gained
strength by the passing of the cutting
knife. No small rose likes to be chop-
ped up. Who can give the true reason?

Outside were great rows of frames
with muslin or cheese-cloth covers look-
ing like soldiers' tents at an encamp-
ment. These frames were full of young
rose cuttings which, though they would
be ready for potting before these notes
are in the hands of the Review readers,
were considered a good risk. The frames
appeared to have manure under the sand
to give bottom heat, the shading cloth
being two or three feet above the glass.

On the way out another trip was taken
back to the houses to see the baby
rambler. Mme. Norbert Levavasseur, a
cross between Crimson Rambler and
Glorie de Polyantha. A diminutive plant
fit for a .3-inoh pot and fifteen blooms.
It gives promise of being a dwarf Eas-
ter plant of merit. The company is pre-
paring to work up a large stock of it.

After a cordial farewell from their
hosts the Philadelphians turned Pat-
rick's head toward Avondale, out over
the new macadam road which Mr. Lynch
has done so much to secure under the
new road law. One dollar for six hours
antl a half of Patrick's time seemed so
good that Mr. Conner added a quarter
for a cigar — these Lord & Burnham peo-

pie have high ideas — with the remark
that the horse had not been abused,
which was certainly true.

The Florists' Qub.

The annual meeting of tJie Florists'
Club was held on Tuesday evening.
The election of officers resulted in the
unanimous choice of John Westcott as
president, David Bust vice-president,
William Colflesh treasurer, and Edward
Lonsdale secretary. After the busi-
ness meeting a president's reception
and entertainment was greatly en-
joyed by the members and ladies pres-
ent. An excellent program of music
and recitations by members and others
had been prepared. It was prefaced as
follows :

In all public bodies it 18 a maxim of pru-
dence to hold fast to a good officer when wich
has been discovered. The FIorlMs' Clnb has
been fortunate daring its life of some twenty
years to have bad many faithful and capable
servants. The present officers are no excep-
tion to the rule, and their re-election for the
coming year, without opposition, is a well de-
aerved tribute of esteem and appreciation.

To signalize this event, it has been deemed
proper to have a social reunion at the regular
monthly meeting, the first Tuesday in October
(Oct. 4th), where everybody (Indies included)
shall be welcojne, and become better acquainted
with one another.

This meeting is the beginning of a new year
In the Mnb's history, and the celebration will
take the place of Uie usual essay and discus-
sion as the principal event of the evening.

A Rare Btjg.

Tenodera Sinensis is the name of a
curious looking insect with narrow body
and broad, gauzy wings that was caught
in the greenhouses of the Wm. Graham
Co., at Olney, and placed on exhibition

in their window, at Thirteenth street,
above Sansom. Through the courtesy
of David Beatty it was learned that this
insect was of value as a destroyer of cat-
terpillars, two or three furnishing a com-
fortaWe meal. Through a local daily the
attention of entomologists has been called
to this discovery and it has been correct-
ly named as above. A Chicago expert
called to see it, and state economic zo-
ologist at Harrisburg. The insect died
meanwhile and Mr. Beatty attached it to
a card, when it continued to draw crowds
of people to the show window. A mes-
senger is coming down from Harrisburg
to carry this curiosity safely to the state
collection.

Variotis Notes.

B. Eschner, of the firm of M. Rice &

Co., has suffered a great loss in the

death of his mother, which occurred last

.Saturday. Mr. Eschner has the deep

sympathy of his many friends.

As the Review goes to press, Riverton
is expecting the return of J. D. Eisele
from Europe. This flying trip is the
first that Mr. Eisele has taken for rest
and recreation. It is hoped he will be
much benefited by the change and sea air.

W. E. McKissick, of the Leo Niessen
Co., states that they are receiving gar-
denias, also that some nice Maids and
Brides are being sent in by G. E. Camp-
bell, of Flourtown.

Charles F. Edgar & Co. are receiving
s^ome nice flowers of Polly Rose chrys-
anthemum.

Jacob Becker and George Carpenter,
prominent West Philadelphia growers.

went over to Riverton last week to see, as
Mr. Becker calmly explained, whether
Phil had told the truth.

Paul J. Klinghorn states that his firm,
Dumont & Co., is receiving some excep-
tionally fine Joost, Crocker and En-,
chantress.

The Floral Exchange sent 20,000 roses.
Brides, Maids, Gates, Edgelys and Beau-
ties, during the second half of Septem-
ber to E. Bernheimer.

Achillea, pyrethrum and other small
white flowers, rather scarce in the mar-
ket, are a specialty with C. F. ^gar &
Co.

Edward Reid is home again, hard at
work packing his extra fine flowers at
Flora Hill.

A representative of Wm. J. Baker vis-
ited Kennett a few days ago and found
Wm. Swayne's carnations and his chrys-
anthemums in splendid condition.

Joseph P. Johnson, of Hightstown, is
sending in fine double violets to the Flow-
er Market.

Albert Woltemate, of Germantown, has
been very busy with grading as well as
floral work.

Jacob Becker is sending in nice Perles
and Ideals to the Leo Niessen Co.

Mrs. S. I. Smith, of Secane, is sending
choice single violets to the Flower Mar-
ket.

Eugene Bernheimer has sent out a
wonderful pencil to his friends in the
business, a pencil that only a sturdy flor-
ist can wield effectively. It is not in-
tended to attach to a watch charm, but
might be used as a club in case of need.

The Weekly Florists^ Review

OCTOBBB 6, 1904.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market*

The weather the past week was very
warm and the cut flower business dragged
somewhat. Complaints were general that
the trade was not what it was the week
previous, during the cold snap which we
had at that time. Saturday, opened the
fourth quarter of the year with brighter
prospects, and with cooler weather, which
the florists hope will remain with us
and make the last quarter of 1904 a
profitable one. Out in the west end a
number of florists have booked orders
for receptions, weddings and dinners for
this month. The Veiled Prophet's ball
Tuesday night made the demand for
choice flowers great, as it always does.
American Beauties had the call, with Me-
teor and Liberty next choice.

The market has plenty of everything,
especially roses of the white and pink
varieties. Red rosea are somewhat scarce.
Perle had a great call on Saturday and
Sunday, owing to a golden jubilee of one
of the largest churches in the city. Choice
stock in the smaller Toses brings about
$6 to $8 per 100. Fancy Beauties are
quoted at $4 per dozen. Prices will be
somewhat higher this week owing to the
big demand for the sociaL affairs on for
this week.

Many growers are sending in extra
fine blooms of Boston Market, Wolcott,
Joost and Enchantress. Most of these
bring $3, others from $1.50 to $2 per
100. Prospects for large quantities of
carnations of all kinds are very good.

Cosmos is very fine and there is plenty
of it at 50 cents per 100. The warm days
of last week did the violets no good, as
they are still small and shriveled. The
price is 25 to 50 cents per 100. Lily
of the valley is fine, with fair demand
at $3 and $4 per 100. Tuberose stalks
are still coming in, but not in as large
lots as they have. Large lots ot
dahlias are in and sell cheap. White
and yellow sell the best and all they
bring is $2 per 100. All other outdooip
stock is over. Smilax is selling well at
15 cents per string. Asparagus Spren-
geri has a big call, also adiantum.

Various Notes.

We had with us last week J. E. Killen,
representing Wm. Bennie, of Toronto;
Judge Vesey, of Fort Wayne, Ind., and
Mr. an* Mrs. A. C. Canfield, of Spring-
field, 111.

Young Mr. Peterson, son of J. A.
Peterson, of Cincinnati, is here selling
Pandanus Veitchii and Begonia Gloire
de Lorraine for Christmas delivery.

Theodore Miller returned home Thurs-
day from his trip to Chicago, Fort
Wayne, New Castle and Joliet. He re-
ports royal treatment at all places vis-
ited.

C. Young & Sons Co. the past week
sold $700 worth of orchids to the Em-
peror of China. The shipment will be
made this week. They are all being
packed in glass cases.

The Ellison Floral Co. has had a busy
week. The decoration of the Dakota
building at the World's Fair was most
noteworthy.

Tuesday was horticultural day at the
World's Fair and it was a grand affair.
The building was tastefully decorated
by Mr. Ussic, who is Mr. Hadkinson's
right hand man. Mr. Cowee's gladiolus
exhibit is still the attraction there. From
October 22 to 31 a special exhibition of

chrysanthemum blooms will take place.
There are twelve classes to be shown. The
entries must be in the hands of Superin-
tendent Hadkinson not later than October
19. Quite a few entries are already in
and Mr. Hadkinson expects a large dis-
play on each of the ten days of the ex-
hibition.

Henry Ostertag has a few large decora-
tions on for this week. Two of the larg-
est will be at Faust's on Tuesday night
and the Jefferson hotel on Thursday
night.

The Beyers are decorating the Missouri
building for Missouri day, which takes
place next Tuesday. Other buildings, too,
are being decorated for the occasion by
this firm.

The New York building at the World 's
Fair was beautifully decorated for Gov.
Odell 's grand ball, which took place Tues-
day night, and conflicted with the annual
Veiled Prophet's ball.

Saturday, October 8, will be Chicago
day at the World's Fair and the florists
here hope for a large attendance of the
craft from that city to spend a day with
us. No doubt the Illinois building will
be handsomely decorated for the occa-
sion.

The Florists ' Clul> members should not
forget to attend the meeting next Thurs-
day afternoon at 2 o'clo<£. President
Juengel has some very important bus-
iness to present. All convention com-
mittees are expected to make their final
reports. In point of membership and
finances the club has never been in better
condition and the members should rec-
ognize the fact and attend the meetings
regularly. The new oflScers are out to
m^e a record for themselves and the
regulars are in line to help them. The
trustees will have their list of essays
ready for the coming season. The trus-
tees of the club are Fred C. Weber, E.
W. Guy and Theodore Miller.

C. Young & Sons Co. decorated the big
hall of the Merchants' Exchange for the
Veiled Prophet's ball. The decorations
exceeded all former efforts in this line.
Grand electrical effects were employed
and carloads of plants and wild smilax
were used.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

Monday was the busiest day this mar-
ket has seen in many months and con-
ditions are materially better than they
were, all along the line. All the coun-
try buyers have been heard from regu-
larly for several weeks and now their
requirements have assumed considerable
size. St. Louis has been a very heavy
buyer in the last four or five days and
Detroit and Pittsburg have wanted
Beauties and choice roses. City trade
is also quite large, several large wed-
dings and funerals making a call for
much choice stock.

The hot days last week had the ef-
fect of bringing on a big cut and a re-
turn to frosty temperatures on Sunday
caused an even swifter shortening up, so
that, with the heaviest demand of the sea-
son Monday and the following days found
a place in waiting for all good stock.
Long Beauties were particularly in de-
mand. Not all small roses are yet free
from mild9w nor have they all sufficient
stem to serve all purposes — ^but they all
found buyers. Chatenay is very abund-
ant but makes a handsome funeral
wreath, with adiantum, and is largely
used.

The aster is gone and the carnation
has fallen heir to its following. There
are large receipts of good average qual-
ity. Regular requirements have used up
all the better grades and the 1000-lot
orders, for fall openings, special sales,
etc., have cleaned up the "our selec-
tion" grade of fair prices.

Chrysanthemums are increasing in
numbers but, as demand is strong, qual-
ity is not improving very fast; most of
them are served quite rare. Violets are
not selling well although qualities are
good, considering the early date, and
prices reasonable. A few shipments from
the Hudson river district have already
reached this market.

Cosmos is fine and a good seller at
three bunches for a dollar. Dahlias are
better than heretofore, and selling bet-
ter also, although not at high prices.
"Green goods" are in active demand.
Ferns have beg^n to go up in price.

Variotis Notes.

The George Wittbold Co. has its
decorative stock busily employed down
town, this week. They have big deco-
rations up at Field's, Stevens', the Hub
and Mandel's and other smaller jobs else-
where. At Field's they used 500 strings
of asparagus. Amling furnished it.

W. J. Smyth had a busy day Tuesday,
with two large weddings and the Par-
melee funeral, for which he had a large
church decoration. For these obsequies
the notices read, "please omit flowers,"
so that the trade in general got nothing
from it.

Hugo Schroeter, of Detroit, was in
town Saturday, buying stock to be ship-
ped Monday for a big store opening.
He wanted a large lot of material, prin-
cipally long Beauties. £[e was here just
a year ago on the same errand and it
is worth recording that the Beauties
that were charged at $2.50 last year cost
him $3 a dozen this time. He said
stock looked good all around the mar-
ket.

During the week E. E. Pieser, at Ken-
nicott's, has been showing sample
blooms of a seedling carnation raised by
a son of F. Stielow, at Niles Center. It
is cerise pink, large and fringed and
everyone thinks well of it.

Mention The Review when you write.

A. Lange says trade is gradually get-
ting under way but he wants to see good
frosty weather. He has quite a trade
with out-of-town florists who wire him
orders for funeral and other flowers to
be delivered in Chicago or the suburbs.

Wietor Bros, are growing a big lot
of mums this season and are already get-
ting in a big cut, for the orders call
for them.

Aid. and Mrs. Peter Beinberg are at
St. Louis for Chicago day.

N. C. Moore & Co. are getting in a
big cut of dahlias.

J. D. Prueesner, of Galveston, Tex.,
was a visitor Monday. He came from
St. Louis.

There was another fire in the Atlas
block Monday evening but it did the
wholesale cut flower people no damage.
There are tales, not improbable but not
fully verified, of how the florists gath-
ered at the foot of the fire escape, gaz-
ing aloft, alert to catch the pretty
young woman who was descending from
the fifth floor with her firm's ledger in
her arms.

Bowling.

The bowlers had an informal session
at Bensinger's alleys, 108 Randolph
street, Tuesday evening, where they will

of the Florists' Club being requested to

BUFFALO. ,

The Market
There has been a decided awaken-
ing of business during the last two
weeks. The folks are home from moun-
tain and sea-shore and social events
in society are increasing. Tea roses
are yet poor and none too plentiful.
American Beauty is in good demand
and all that come to town find ready
sale. Carnations are just commencing
and sell well. Of all the varieties to
give you good flowers on good 8t«ms
at this early date there is none equal
to Enchantress. A few chrysanthe-
mums are in* the windows. Midge,
Monrovia and Fitzwygram are the va-
rieties. I have seen the real Lady
Fitzwygram. His lordship is the
owner of Leigh Park, in Hampshire,
near the great naval station of
Portsmouth, where the writer let out
his initial squall. I wonder if her
ladyship knew how often on this side
of the Atlantic her name is taken in
vain. In another week the mums will
be in abundance, for asters are gone.
We know where there are some fine
Mrs. T. W. Pockett about fit to cut,
but this beautiful yellow should be left
until it is perfect.

Various Notes.

I met our aster king, Rudolph Boett-
ger, a few days ago and he said he
looks for another good crop of Scra-
pie's Branching asters if frost holds
off. That speaks well for our climate.
Strange to say, while central New
York had a terrible frost and we hear
of its visit as far south as Baltimore,
we have escaped. The weather man
reports the lowest in September at 38
degrees, yet in low places frost was
felt and, what with winds and rain,
there is little left outside. In a ten-
mile drive through the truly rural
roads of Genesee county, we deplored
the fact that thousands of barrels of
red cheeked Baldwin apples will rot
on the ground because, after paying
for a barrel and the labor of picking,
there would be nothing left for the
poor farmer.

And yet the farmer is not so poor!
He generally has health and plenty to
eat, clothes sufficient for decency and
comfort, rural free mail delivery, tele-

phone for $1 a month, a district school
within a mile or two and all beyond
this is frills and unnecessaries. Is he
not a king compared to the white
slave in our crowded citiesj, paying
two prices for everything he eats,
drinks and wears and the kids run
the streets, and a fourth of his wages
is taken for rentt

We noticed the corn scorched with
frost and yet occasionally a dahlia in
some front yard four or five feet high
loaded with pompon flowers. So all
together it can be summed up in the
beautiful lines of J. Whitcomb
Squash:

The frost Is on the pumpkin,
The buckwheat's In the shock, -

But dahlia's still a bloomln'.
Though the corn has got a knock.

Mr. Anderson has entirely gotten
over the remodeling of his store and
it's now a beauty.

C. H. Keitsch is also in new quar-
ters, a wonderful improvement over
the store he vacated.

Byrne Bros, have purchased land in
the Williamsville direction and are
erecting a range of glass. This, we
suppose, is the nucleus of an extensivfe
place, as these young men are workers
and will stick to it.

We have not seen many visitors, but
the few we did meet might be classed
as choice to extra. Mr. Peterson, of
Cincinnati, was here and then came
"Billy" Craig, of Philadelphia. Each
had his order book ready, but they had
something else. They each hired a
spacious room in a hotel and had sam-
ples of what they had to offer. This
is an excellent idea, for when you see
the palm, fern, pandanus of begonia,
it gives you a much better idea what
you are buying than any talk of two
feet high, seven leaves, etc., etc. There
is only one trifling (!) condition to
make this system entirely satisfactory
to all concerned, especially the buyer,
viz., that the order when executed
shall be as per sample.

Speaking again of«S. A. Anderson,
he has filled a very important position
for the past two weeks. He is fore-
man of the grand jury and last week
they indicted three aldermen and four
ex-aldermen. Of course the offense is
the great American specialty, graft on
public work. "v^. g^

The Weekly Florists' Review#

OCTOBBB 6, 1904.

BOSTON.

The Market

Conditions have shown a wonderful
improvement during the past week, ev-
erything clearing out in a satisfactory
manner. A few outdoor flowers from
sheltered localities continue to dribble
in, but they cut no figure in the mar-
ket. Boses have hardened in prices.
On Beauties prices have not varied
much, $4 to $25 being still the outside
limits, but Brides and Bridesmaids are
doing better. While ordinary stock
brings $2 to $3, select flowers have sold
as high as $8 to $10. Carnations are
none too numerous and clear out at ad-
vanced prices, the best bringing $3 to
$4. Violets are becoming more plenti-
ful. They sell at an average of 50 cents
per 100, the only variety seen being
Princess of Wales. Lily of the valley
remains about the same. Chrysanthe-
mums are a little more plentiful. One
grower had some blooms of Ivory on
October 1, very early for that variety.
Bergmann and Ktzwygram are the lead-
ing white. Some of M. B. Girard, crim-
son, are also seen. Asparagus plumo-
sus holds steady at $50 per 100 strings
and 50 cents per bunch. Asparagus
Spr9ngeri is 25 cents a bunch.

Vajioos Notes.

Wm. Sim is sending in 5,000 fine
Princess of Wales violets daily to the
Park street market and Waban Con-
servatories are sending some splendid
roses.

John Jansky, the Columbus avenue
wire design manufacturer, has taken
quarters in the basement of the new
flower market. Other spaces will be let
shortly. The directors of the market
report business as very good. One of
the new directors, Charles Cummings,
having declined to serve, Norris F.
Comley was re-elected.

N. F. McCarthy & Co.'s auction sales
are now drawing large attendances of
buyers. The late frost was needed to
interest people in bulbs, trees and
shrubs.

The freeze of September 22 was so
severe in parts of New Hampshire that
plants were frozen in greenhouses with
ventilators tightly closed. Of course,
we have enjoyed balmy weather since
outdoor stock was cut down.

At a meeting of the board of direc-
tors of the Massachusetts Horticultural
Society on October 1 several new mem-
bers were elected. An appropriation
was made for the committee of arrange-
ments to be used in connection with the
visit of the C. 3. A. next month. A sub-
committee presented a list of suggest-
ed appropriations for prizes for 1905.
An appropriation was made for the pur-
pose of improving the acoustic proper-
ties of the lecture hall.

Charles Sander has had a fine display
of nerines in many varieties and Bella*
donna lilies in bloom at Prof. C. S. Sar-
gent's estate in Brookline lately. Mr.
Sander handles these beautiful fall
bulbs to perfection.

Very fine dispjays of plants were
made at the Taunton Fair by W. J.
Clerason, J. O. Kristenson, gardener,
Willard & Williams and Geo. H. Walk-
er, who won prizes for the best display
in order named. Each of the two first
named exhibitors filled over fifty feet
run of staging five feet wide. The dis-

play of vegetables at this fair far out-
classed that seen in Boston a week pre-
vious, being the best seen in Massachu-
setts.

Violets, chrysanthemums, roses and
carnations help to make the stores very
attractive now. Plant trade is begin-
ning to pick up.

The seedsmen report a nice demand
for bulbs since the September freeze.
Quite a number of the flower stores
dabble in bulbs to some extent also, to
say nothing of the big department
stores.

John K. M. L. Farquhar writes that his
blooms of Lilium Philippinense carried
in fine condition to Europe and have
been favorably commented on in the
English horticultural papers.

John Barr, of South Natick, grows
some 15,000 carnations. He is disap-
pointed with practically all last sea-
son's introductions. Fair Maid he
thinks highly of, but The Queen is his
champion variety and his opinion that
it is the best white in sight • today is
shared by many other growers. Mr.
Barr is a first-rate grower of carna-
tions. He has a batch of 500 fine cycla-
men coming along, in the culture of
which he is a past master.

H. K Doyle had a pretty church
decoration at St. Lawrence's, Brook-
line, on Sepetmber 28, for the wedding
of Miss M. J. Mahoney. The color
scheme was green and white, roses and
carnations being used in profusion. At
the bride's home Beauty roses were
used in the dining hall, Brides in the
library and Bridesmaids in the other
rooms.

Thomas Galvin had a fine lot of Mor-
gan roses in the windows of his Tre-
mont street store the past week. Cat-
tleya labiata and Oncidium varicosum
Eogersii were also a feature.

These are the days when the fakirs
are hard up for stock. The mum season
will soon put them in cloverland, how-
ever.

The floral tokens at the funeral of
Massachusetts' venerable and beloved
senator, George F. Hoar, at Worcester,
on October 3 were more numerous and
costly than at any other funeral in this
jtate for years and attested the high
esteem in which Mr. Hoar was held by
ill parties

J. Leach & Son have a neat and com-
pact plant at North Easton. Some 8,000
carnations are grown. These include
two seedlings which are grown in quan-
tity and produce very freely. One is
light and the other dark pink. Other
sorts grown are Maceo, Queen, Lawson,
Fair Maid, Eldorado and Edith Foster.
A bench is also given to Mrs. Fisher,
which is still found much the best out-
door summer bloomer. A good many
Princess of Wales violets are grown.
These are just being housed and are
very fine. Chrysanthemums are most-
ly early varieties, their places being
taken by violets later. Messrs. Leach
have a stall in the new wholesale mar-
ket.

Peter Fisher has a grand new white
seedling carnation which will outclass
Governor Wolcott in every respect. It
has size, fragrance, a strong stem and
calyx, is very double and beautifully
fringed. This is the best of its color
yet raised by Mr. Fisher and all who
have seen it pronounce it a winner.

Local nurseries are very busy ship-
ping perennial plants and report a very

good trade in deciduous trees and
shrubs for fall planting.

J. F. Butterworth, of South Framing-
ham, is cutting some fine Cattleya labi-
ata, Oncidium varicosum Bogersii and
other seasonable orchids. He will have
a fine cut of Cattleya Trianse and Cyp-
ripedium insigne a little later.

The garden committee of the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society were in-
vited to visit the dahlia gardens of E.
W. Ela, but the visit had to be can-
celled last week, as all Mr. Ela's plants
were frozen. A visit will be made at
the end of October to the estate of
Commodore M. F. Plant, Groton, Conn.,
in charge of T. W. Head, to inspect
houses of carnations, roses and chrys-
anthemums. W. N. Craig.

ALVIN, TEXAS.

The florist business at this end of the
world is in the hands of the growers and
cape jasmine and violets are about all
that they are holding up at present. But
we believe that the prospect is bright
for further development, and we see no
reason why roses and chrysanthemums
cannot be grown quite as profitably as
those already tried. In fact we believe
it so strongly that we expect to give
them a fair trial during the coming year.

The sunmier has been unusually rainy
atnd jasminetf that have reoeived the
proper care in the way of cultivation
have put on a splendid growth and
give the optimistic grower beautiful vis-
ions of a fine crop next May.

The acreage in violets shows a marked
increase over last year and the plants
generally look healthy and vigorous.
They are grown here in open fields and
the season begins with Thanksgiving and
lasts until March, with only moderate
danger from frosts. Last year the sea-
son was uninterrupted by cold the
whole winter through. The Russian violet
is the only variety that has been grown
for market here, and to tell the truth,
the violet business at this point is still
in its infancy. What its future may
be. who can tellf C. & C.

THE BANNER BLUE LIMITED.

The first trains ever built up to a
Pullman standard for daylight service

operation on the Wabash line between
St. Louis and Chicago, leaving St. Louis
at 11:00 a. m. and Chicago at 11:03 a.
m. daily, making the run in seven hours,
even time. They are known as the ' * Ban-
ner Blue Limited," and are the most
costly day trains ever constructed. Each
train will consist of four cars, a com-
bination baggage car and smoker, a com-
bination coach and chair car, a combina-
tion diner and buffet, and a combination
parlor and observation car.

In the advertisement of the W. T.
Buckley Co., last week. Asparagus
plumosus nanus, 2^-inch, was quoted
at $20 per 100; $190 per 1000. They
will gladly fill orders at just one-tenth
those prices.

New London, Conn. — The first an-
nual flower show of the New London-
Groton Horticultural Society will be held

NEW YORK.

The Market

The crisp, cool, seasonable weather
with which the week opens betokens a
revival in business, which is all the
more welcome because so long delayed.
Good stock of all kinds is in demand.
Chrysanthemums are now in the win-
dows of most of the stores making nnj
pretense to interesting display and are
growing in size and numbers every day.
In another week they will reign again as
queen. Orchids hold their values easily,
the supply still being limited and the de-
mand widening. There is every evidence
of their being established as the fashion-
able flower of the society season. Dah-
lias and asters cannot stand the breath
of winter and their glory has departed.
Carnations maintain their average prices
and the novelties are again on deck.
Brides, Maids and Beauties of the me-
dium and lower grades can still be had
at bargain rates, the supply being enor-
mous. Violets are improving and the
shipments from now on will increase raj>-
idly. Already the street merchants seem
to have an abundance of them on every
comer.

Various Notes.

The Stumpp & Walter Co. wag relieved
of a barrel of brass syringes last week,
the thief securing them from the wharf.
A reward of more value than the goods
is offered for the capture of the ras-
cal.

Several of the wholesalers have been
adding to their floor space in evident an-
ticipation of a strenuous season. In all
the stores the annual refreshment has
been completed. Mr. Langjahr has moved
his office to the rear of his large floor
and maintains his record for neatness
and convenience. James McManus has
built an ofB.ce balcony that adds very
materially to his room, made necessary
by his growing trade, and Jos. Fenrich
and Julius Lang have similar additions
to their floor space that will be especially
appreciated as the season advances.

J. F. Wilcox, of Council Bluffs, has had
a busy week visiting the great rose and
carnation centers in and around the city
and the bon-ton flower stores. He left

on Tuesday for home, via Philadelphia
and Washington. Those who enjoyed the
Omaha convention do not forget the hap-
py experience afforded them by Mr. Wil-
cox in '98 and his welcome here was a
cordial one.

The auctions are now in full blast, the
audiences increasing in numbers and
prices excellent. Elliott is disposing of
Cypripedium insigne in this way very
satisfactorily.

Harry Bunyard, with the Clucas &
Boddington Co., reports a busy season,
with an increased force of helpers and
night work necessary to keep pace with
the demand. Among late reports was
one shipment of over 250 cases of aza-
leas.

Beed & Keller have some more inven-
tions and novelties, among them a large
red folding bell that will surely be pop-
ular. It's an off week when Mr.
Beed does not evolve some supply novelty
from his fertile brain. Their bronze
wreath and ribbon on easel is another
specialty that will appeal to many. Over
50,000 of their small folding bells have
already been ordered.

John A. Scollay, of Brooklyn, reports
among late achievements the installing of
three of the largest Invincible boilers at
Alex. J. Guttman 's, Summit, N. J., where
they will heat nine houses, a 200-foot rose
house at Edward Eggert's and a 150-foot
house at Weber's, Lynbrook, built and
heated by the invincible Scollay.

Brooklyn now has three wholesale flor-
ists' houses and the "green goods" ven-
ture of Crawbuck & Wiles, at 370 Pearl
street, so that the sister city has no fear
of a famine in cut flowers and supplir:
of every kind this winter.

The ribbon houses seem to be particu-
larly elated this fall. Lion & Wertbeimer
report a big demand for violet scarfs and
the corduroy violet ribbon, while Schloss
Bros, show their bow knot effects for
violet corsage and other original crea-
tions with many new shades and patterns
and both these firms assert the value of
their extensive exhibits at the St. Louis
convention.

J. K. Allen has been receiving some
fine Enchantress lately and excellent
Omega and yellow sport chrysanthemums.
He has recovered his land legs and has

resumed his early morning devotions,
much the better for his journey over the
sea. Miss Riley, the faithful keeper of
the books, is again in harness after her
well earned holiday.

On October 19 A. C. Scott, with Alex.
McConnell, will be married to Miss Jen-
nie C. Reynolds, of New Rochelle. Hearty
congratulations are extended Mr. Scott
by his many friends. Mr. McConnell is
the uncle of the bridegroom and it is
needless to say that the decorations will
be elaborate.

Siebrecht & Son have added several
large rose and palm houses to their im-
mense plant at New Rochelle, have made
extensive additions to their nursery
grounds and with additions and improve-
ments now under way will have one of
the g^reatest horticultural establishments
in the country. The space allotted to
orchids has been greatly enlarged during
the past year and several houses devoted
to the Killarney rose attest the firm's
faith in its beauty and popularity.

Henry Siebrecht, Jr., has lately pur-
chased a fine property adjoining the con-
servatories. Mrs. H. Siebrecht, Sr., has
fnlly recovered from her serious illness
and the father of Mr. Siebrecht, a hale
old gentleman of 87, is now residing with
his son, making a quartette of Henry
Siebrechts, each one of whom bids fair
to round out a century.

J. Austin SPbAw.

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH.

The West Michigan Fair was a great
success. The floral exhibit was meager,
the Grand Rapids Floral Co. and Crabb
& Hunter being the only exhibitors. The
premiums were passed round between
the two. The amateurs made a very
creditable showing.

The Grand Rapids Floral Co. had the
decorations for the Herplesheimer dry
goods store opening. Seven floors were
decorated with asters and other outdoor
flowers. Beauties and other roses were
used in large quantities. It took seven
loads of plants.

J. A. Creelman has torn down his
greenhouses and assumed the manage-
ment of Chas. Chadwick's flower store
in the Loraine.

bage will be a good crop, one of the best
of the year.

Lawrence, Kan. — Barteldes & Co.
report a loss of 4,000 to 5,000 bushels

The directors of the Wholesale Seeds-

W, W. Baknard, Chicago, is on a

MnJiiNG and hand picking show the
average lots of Alaska and extra early
peas in better shape this year than last.
The shrink on wrinkled varieties that
have been handled so far is also lighter
than usual.

A. LeCoq & Co., Darmstadt, Germany,
say that Festuca elatior is of good qual-
ity and a large crop this season and ad-
vise that it be given special attention be-
cause of the reduction after three years
of high prices.

Reports in general for the week show
little change from a week ago. The
weather has been seasonable and the
standing crops have had nothing to retard
any growth that would naturally be add-
ed to them during the time.

Abkoyo Grande, Cau — Routzahn Seed
Co. reports that the recent heavy rains
did little damage to the beans in that
vicinity. Some damage was done in the
Lompoc district, however, especially to
Kentucky Wonder and other pole beans.

Favorable reports from the east and
the hopeful tone of the advices from Ne-
braska puts the cucumber seed situation
in a better way. The shortage of this
«rop at the intermediate points may not
be felt so much when the seed from all
sections ia gotten together.

Nothing definite has been reported on
the bean crop as yet. Threshing is un-
der way in Michigan and some crops are
ready to be delivered by the farmers.
Harvesting is about finished and deliver-
ies from the farmer to the warehouses,
where milling and hand picking is done,
will be in full swing by the end of the
month.

Frank E. Rue, manager of J. C. Mur-
ray's seed business at Peoria, 111., is on
an eastern trip, uuring which he will wed
a young lady at his former home in Jer-
sey City.

The aster seed crop in Germany will
be considerably below the average al-
though late rains in the seed-growing
district along the Elbe helped to some
degree.

CATALOGUES IN BULK.

The con^nsus of opinion seems to be
that the act of Congress which provides
for the mailing of third class matter
with currency payment instead of stamps
affixed has been rendered inoperative by
the amount of detail provided for in
the order of the third assistant postmas-
ter general putting the law into effect.
Each of the requirements, save the one
requiring that a permit be obtained from
Washington, seems reasonable but in the
aggregate the requirements are so great
that the work involved fully counterbal-
ances the single advantage gained. The
requirements are all intended to lighten
the work in the postoffice. Inquiry at
the Chicago postoffice elicits the informa-
tion that many large mail order houses
have made inquiry as to the details of
the plan but that only one application
for a permit was the outcome.

GOVERNMENT CROP REPORT.

The temperature during the week end-
ing October 3, has been generally favor-
able for maturing and harvesting late
crops, although excessively warm in por-
tions of Kansas and the southern states.
Heavy to killing frosts, causing some
damage, were reported from Wisconsin.
Drought continues in the upper Ohio
valley and moisture is needed in Okla-
homa and South Dakota.

Com has experienced another week of
favorable conditions, but frost was in-
jurious in Wisconsin, much was blown
down and damaged in Illinois, and dry
weather is needed in Iowa to prepare the
crop for cribbing. Corn is practically

PARSLEY.

"Where this very useful vegetable is
made a specialty the plants vrill no doubt
be well established in the benches, so that
a supply can be had as soon as the out-
door crop is cut off by frost. Those
"who only grow parsley as a catch crop,
or for filling in odd corners, may be
depending on lifting plants from out-
doors to fill up with and I would advise
any such to get lue plants in before hard
freezing. Though they will stand quite
a little frost, especially if protection is
provided, still it is a check to the growth,
and satisfactory results are by no means
certain after a severe check.

Parsley likes a fairly rich soil when
^rown under natural conditions, but un-
der artificial conditions, such as winter
forcing, a little caution should be exer-
cised in this respect. Especially should
the use of too fresh manure be guarded
against, as it tends to make the soil
heavy and retentive and the plants will
not take so freely to it as they will to
a lighfer soil. The soil should be such
as to encourage the making of roots
gather than the hastening of growth.
When the plants have got a good hold
and the bench is well filled with roots,
liquid manure can be applied, or a tc^-
dressing of well-enriched soil may be
given when it is seen that the plants
require it.

Though parsley is one of the easiest
grown crops I know of, and with any-
thing like fair treatment can be depended
on to give fair returns, still a little spe-
cial care and frequent stirring of the
aoil will amply repay the extra labor by
materially increasing the yield. "Water-
ing should be carefully attended to and
to have the plants clean and healthy it
is very important that all decaying and
yellow leaves should be kept picked oflf.
Yellow leaves are only breeding places
for insects and their presence imparts
an untidy look.

The only insect pest that troubles
parsley as a rule is greenfly. We have
seen it attacked by red spider, but only
when grown under unfavorable condi-
tions or when the house is kept too dry
and warm. The fly can be kept in check
by tobacco, either by having the stems
laid through the house or by occasional
smokings. But smoke is apt to flavor
the product somewhat for a day or two
after it has been applied, so that care
should be taken when smoking is to be
done to have enough parsley pulled and
set away in water in a cool cellar to
last for a day or two until the smell of
the smoke has worn off.

In old houses, or where the floor of
the house forms the bed, snails are some-
times troublesome. These can be kept
down by having slices of turnips or po-
tatoes laid around to acfr as traps. The
under side of the traps should be hol-
lowed out so that when they get under
they will stay, and by looking over the
traps every morning and destroying those
caught they may soon be thinned out.

MriiWAUKEE, Wis. — Gene Oestreicher
has returned to his home and proposes to
start in business. He has been at Mt.
Clemens, Mich., for some time, in the
employ of James Taylor.

DENVER.

After a siege of dullness seldom ex-
perienced in Colorado we are now passing
into a period of activity and the store
man is carrying a more pleasant coun-
tenance and is more easily approached on
topics relating to his business.

Asters, gladioli and dahlias, owing to
frequent rains, have been exceptionally
fine this year. The latter are still in
their prime and many of them are used
extensively. Mrs. "Winters, a good semi-
cactus white is one of the best and in
floral work does not, like most dahlias,
look stiff and formal. The fall aster,
the Michaelmas daisy, and Clematis pan-
iculata are now asserting their rights to
recognition. Both are pretty and grace-
ful and have proven their value in recent
decorations executed here. In competi-
tive table decorations at the state fair
this fall we saw this character of daisy
used in conjunction with pink roses and
adiantum and the effect was very showy
and agreeable. At the same place there
was a mantel decoration in which the
clematis took a prominent part, in con-
nection with Beauties and palms. Per-
haps there is not anything at this time
of the year that is as economical and
effective as the clematis. Its fine cut
glossy foliage with a profusion of dainty
white flowers makes it well adapted for
party or wedding decorations. For a
bridal canopy it is superb.

Chrysanthemums are now showing
themselves and are pushing many of the
outdoor flowers to the rear. Many dread
their coming but all agree that they fill
up a gap at this time that no other flower
can do. The market here looks as if it
might be overstocked this fall, for while
the majority of the crop will be up to
its usual good quality, indications point
to a lot of inferior stock, which has an
influence on prices where the market
for good flowers is limited. The va-
rieties now on the market are Pacific,
lolanthe and Bergmann, pink; Monrovia
and Modesto, yellow; Lady Fitzwygram
and Polly Bose, white.

Denver and Colorado Springs florists
were well represented at the state fair
held at Pueble last week. They were
very successful in their various entries.
Prizes to the amount of $50 were award-
ed for table and mantel decorations and
proportionate amounts in baskets, bou-
quets and other features. The success-
ful competitors were: For mantel, first,
Daniels & Fisher, of Denver; second,
Colorado Springs Floral Co.; tables, first,
Colorado Springs Floral Co., with a neat-
ly arranged table of dendrobiums and
adiantum; second, Daniels & Fisher, of
Denver, using Chatenay roses, Shasta
daisies and adiantum; third, Geo.
Fleischer, of Pueblo, with centre-piece of
Maids. Daniels & Fisher took first in
basket and Geo. Fleischer second. Wm.
Clark, of Colorado Springs, took first
for bridal bouquet, with lilies of the val-
ley, and second went to Fleischer
for bouquet of Brides. "Wm. R.
Mauff, of Denver, took first in Beauties,
Queen of Edgely and second on Liberty
and Bride. Daniels & Fisher were, first
on Bride, Liberty and Maid and Grimes
& Son, of Denver, took five firsts in five
entries in carnations, principal among
them being Enchantress, Lawson and
Harlowarden.

"Wm. Clark, of Colorado Springs, took
most of the prizes in plants. The com-
petition in the plant line was very weak.
Several hundred dollars are appropriated
annually from the funds of the state

board of horticulture to encourage and
sustain an interest in floriculture at the
state fair, but although the exhibitors
were more in number than last year, the^
floral hall was not as well filled as here-
tofore, principally because some of the
larger firms of Denver failed to put in
an appearance. Geh;a.t Divide.

ONCINNATL

The Market

While trade was nothing extra last
week, still when one takes into considera-
tion the hot weather, it was not so bad.
A. Sunderbruch Sons reported a very
goad business all week, but some of the
stores were not so fortunate. At present
there is a first-class demand and all of
the wholesale houses are sold out early
in the day. The supply of stock, with
the exception of the very best quality,
is equal to the demand and there are
but few orders that cannot be filled. Car-
nations are arriving in much larger quan-
tities and some very good ones are to
be had. Still there are not enough. The
supply of Beauties is rather small, with
the quality none too good. Brides, Maids,
Gates, Ivory, Cusin, Kaiserin, Chatenay,
MacArthur, Liberty and Meteors are all
to be had in quantity, medium and short-
stemmed being especially abundant.

Asters are few, but dahUas and gladi-
oli are still to be had. Cosmos, too, is
in and sells very weU. Longiflorum lilies
and valley sell well. The storemen seem
to be afraid to tackle violets; a good
cold snap is needed to make them bring
a paying price. Mums are coming in
larger numbers and sell wMl. Most of
them are Bergmann, but some Glory of
Pacific and Estelte are to be had and are
good.

Various Notes.

Saturday night is the regular meeting
of the Florists' Society and President
Ben George requests all members to be
present.

B. A. Murphy, of Delhi, has just com-
pleted a violet house. His stock is in
very good shape, especially when you
consider that he has been short of water
nearly all summer and has been obliged
on many occasions to haul it from the
Ohio river, about a mile from his place.

TARRYTOWN. N. Y.

The monthly meeting of the Tarry-
town Horticultural Society was held Sep-
tember 27, President Ballantyne presid-
ing. I. G. Eaw and E. Lumbey, of Irv-
ington, and Hamilton Scott, of Yonkers,
were elected active members. I. H. King,
IrvingtoD, was nominated for member-
ship.

David MacFarlane was awarded Sec-
retary Neubrand's prize for display of
dahlias and Mr. Featherstone, gardener
for Samuel Untermeyer, Yonkers, N. Y.,
was awarded Wm. Scott's prize for dis-
play of flowers and fruits cut from hardy
shrubs. On account of the November
show coming so soon after the October
meeting, it was decided not to offer
any prizes for exhibits at the next meet-
ing.

David MacFarlane favored the mem-
bers with a very instructive lecture on
dahlias, which was very freely discussed
by Jas. Scott, L. Martin, Jos. Mooney,
J. Bradley and others.

L. Martin, gardener for C. H. Mathei-
son, Irvington, N. Y., read a very in-
teresting essay on late flowering shrubs.

DETROIT.

Trade was up to the usual summer
level but was rather later than usual
starting up this fall, for there was little
doing up to the end of September. Now,
however, things are traveling at a fair
pace. Stock is generally in good shape
and abundant, except Beauties for which
we have to go to outside markets for
the larger part of our supply. We have
as good tea roses, carnations, mums and
violets as are to be had anywhere. This
has been a particularly good season for
carnations and all the growers have their
plants in fine shape.

The Michigan Cut Flower Exchange is
rapidly getting its new store into shape
and Mr. Dilger will soon have the best
equipped wholesale cut flower store to
be found anywhere in the country. It
is in a deep, cool, airy basement built
expressly for this use, with storage room
under the sidewalk for ferns, wild
smilax, etc. The store is several times
as large as the old place.

The building so long occupied by John
Breitmeyer's Sons is to be torn down
and replaced by a handsome business
block. During the rebuilding operations
the store will be located in the new
building, on the street floor, just over
the Michigan C?ut Flower Exchange, only
a few doors from the present location.
When the new building is finished the
Breitmeyers wijl have one of the hand-
somest stores in the country, up-to-date
in every respect but without conservatory
facilities. ,

There is also talk of building a busi-
ness block on the site of B. Schroeter's
store in which they, too, would lose their
conservatory. If the owner consummates
his plan for improving the property Mr.
Schroeter may seek a location on Wood-
ward avenue. He has a big store open-
ing decoration on this week.

The property in the rear of J. F. Sul-
livan's store is torn up by the building
operations of the new heating company,
causing him considerable inconvenience.

George A. Kackham and his bride are
receiving many congratulations. One of
the Beard brothers was recently married
and there is rumor of a third member of
the craft soon to embark on matrimonial

carnation fields at Ocean Park, Cal.

HANDLING BULBS.

As a rule the people who buy assort-
ments of hardy flowering bulbs trom our
florists and nurserymen do not suc-
ceed in keeping them over in good flower-
ing condition longer than the first sea-
son. As this is the time of the year in
which to plant bulbs for spring flowers
a few words of advice to retailers
might not be amiss. Every florist has had
plenty of experience with customers who
come around each season and complain
that the daffodils and hyacinths they
bought have entirely disappeared from
the ground and they will have to pur-
chase the same lot over again if they
want any flowers. Very often they dig
up the remains of the bulbs, now reduced
to about one-quarter of their natural
size, and want to know what is the rea-
son that they cannot keep their bulbous
plants 80 they will have a succession of
flowers yearly.

These people almost invariably plant
their narcissi, tulips, daffodils or hya-
cinths in the vicinity of other garden
plants. As we do not have summer rains
in California and it is necessary to arti-
ficially water flowering plants and shrubs
continuously through the dry season, the
bulbs get too much water. They, more
than almost any other garden flower,
must have a good resting spell if well
ripened, plump bulbs are to be had for
replanting for another year. Even un-
der these unnatural conditions hyacinths
and tulips make an eftort to flower the
second year but after that they only
show a few green leaves that generally
disappear entirely after the third season.

If the public would learn to plant bulbs
of almost every variety in beds by them-
selves and give them no water at all,
but instead, give the soil a good spading
after they are through blooming, there
would be no trouble in preserving each
variety.

I have grown as fine daffodil, tulip,
hyacinth and narcissus bulbs as any I
have seen imported without giving them
a drop of water in the summer or fall.
I transplant hyacinths and tulips every
three years and daffodils and narcissi
every four years. It is very beneficial
to dig between the rows once or twice
a season, as this does not allow the
ground to dry out as quickly as it would
otherwise.

With gladioli, callas, irises and snow-
drops it makes very little difference
where they are planted, as they want
some moisture uuYing their flowering
season, which is much later than that of

;

tell in three days. Many thousands of
dollars damage has been done to the
fruit and seed growers and the farmers
as well. From reports I hear from the
chrysanthemum growers they suffered
very little loss as the flowers are not
yet opened enough to spoil under a
heavy rain. The asters are entirely gone
and sweet peas with them. Carnations
are not plentiful and roses are between
seasons. We are waiting patiently for
outdoor mums to become cheap for then
the troubles of the florist to get stock
enough are over for a few months. Al-
though business has been only fair for
the past two weeks it has been quite a
task to keep our windows well filled since
the aster season is over. We hav©
plenty of indoor mums, however, quite
up to the standard in size and color. Val-
ley is plentiful and sells wholesale at
60 cents per dozen. Lilium album and
rubrum are about over.

Various Notes.

I called on several of the larger grow-
ers in the neighborhood of Fruitvale dur-
ing the past week and found that the
majority have finished changing the
stock in their greenhouses. There are
but few rose growers in that section but
some of the finest carnations marketed
here are from there. The growers are
planting largely to Estelle and Lawson.
The stock generally looks very well. The
three large houses of A. Galloway are
especially worthy of mention. Mr. Gal-
loway grows nothing but carnations.

E. Gill, the Oakland florist, is on a
three weeks' trip to Oregon and Wash-
ington.

The Cox Seed Co. has a very large
and varied assortment of new varieties
of dahlias in bloom on their grounds at
Glen Echo.

Miss Charlotte Williams, the decorator,
has had a busy month. She reports sev-
eral large decorations for October.

D. Greuttner, the Vallejo florist and
nurseryman, was in town this week.

John Youn^T, of the Dwight Way nur-
series, Berkeley, is cutting large quan-
tities of Brides and Maids. He has twen-
ty houses planted to roses and his stock
is in excellent condition. G.

NEWPORT, R. L

Some very interesting and meritorious
exhibits were noted at the recent show
of the Newport Horticultural Society,
September 20-22. James Garthly, gard-
ener to H. H. Rogers, secured a silver
medal for Begonia grandiflora erecta
cristata, which he exhibited at Boston
earlier in the summer. This promises
to be a useful plant; the flowers were
of a fine pink color and fimbriated.
The group of Nephrolepis Scottii, from
John Scott, was much admired. It re-
ceived a silver medal, against a certifi-
cate of merit awarded at the June show.
Dreer's exhibit of nymphseas was extra
fine. The handsome new pale blue
Pennsylvania, with flowers a foot across,
received a silver medal. This is one of
the finest nymphseas we have ever seen.
It is not yet in commerce, but is the
very finest of the Zanzibariensis type,

Andrew Pow, gardener to Mrs. Cor-
nelius Vanderbilt, staged a charming
group of the brilliant scarlet Nerine
Fothergilli major, which was awarded a
bronze medal. The plants showed excel-
lent culture. Special commendation is
due to the first prize group of foliage
plants from Andrew S. Meikle, gardener
to Mrs. W. S. Wells; his plants were
finely grown. W. G. Postinop, gardener
to Mrs. Winthrop Chandler, secured the
silver medal offered for the best new
seedling dahlia. It was named in honor
of his employer.

Gardenias are especial favorites at
Newport and are always well shown.
Those from Mrs. C. Vanderbilt, Perry
Belmont and Mrs. Wm. Astor were extra
good. N. F. Burt's winning collection
of cactus dahlias was very fine and in-
cluded a beautiful selection.

The classes provided for table decora-
tions on the second day were well com-
peted for. They were judged by Mrs.
Lorillard Spencer, Miss Anna F. Hunter
and Mrs. Hamilton Fish Webster. Mrs.
J. R. Drexel's special prizes for best
table decoration of dahlias went to
Joseph Gibson, gardener to James Still-
man, who used Vloker, a bright yellow
variety, and Oscar Schultz, who used
Progenitor, dark red. For the best
decoration of out-door flowers and foli-
age, exclusive of roses and dahlias, Gib-
son Bros, won by using Salvia splendens
to good effect. Oscar Schultz, who was
second, used Lilium speciosum roseum
with Clematis paniculata. The exhibit
of fruit was poor but vegetables were
very good. The judges were William
Anderson, South Lancaster, Mass., John
Scott and Warren Spaulding.

The Market.

Trade during the last few weeks has
been very good, and the great scarcity
of flowers has made it appear as though
we were extra busy. Considerable fu-
neral work has helped to increase the
demand for white flowers, while we note
numerous large weddings, and other dec-
orations. Dahlies have been plentiful,
but outside of that cut flowers have
been decidedly short.

Various Notes.

Dunlop's King street store has re-
ceived its finishing touch from the hands
of the decorators and it is certainly very
artistic.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

OCTOBBB 6, 1004.

PITTSBURG.

The Market.

The past week has given us a taste
of some of the good things expected this
season. Trade has had a healthy growth
for two weeks, and this, with some very
large funeral orders, has used up all the
available stock, so that we can safely re-
port a very satisfactory week.

The death of H. W, Williams, the pro-
prietor of the leading variety theatre,
made a boom in funeral work Saturday
and Sunday. There were about thirty
large designs, ranging from $10 to $75
each, the largest display of handsome de-
signs seen here in years. "While all the
florists had a portion of this work, E.
C. Ludwig certainly had the lion's share.

An Opening;.

E. C. Ludwig opened his new store on
East Diamond street, Allegheny, last
Thursday. The store is certainly a credit
to the city; it is finished all in white,
and the furniture of green oak. The
counters are all heavy marble tops and
movable tables. In the rear he has a
conservatory the width of the store, about
twenty feet, heated with one of Lord &
Burnham's hot water boilers. The total
depth of store and conservatory is about
lOQ feet. As souvenirs he had flower
pots made with his name stamped on
them and filled with small seedling palms
or ferns; he gave away several thousand
of these, and as the crowd continued to
come in he fell back on fiowers and was
still handing them out to crowds of vis-
itors at 10 p. m. The craft congratulate
Ernest on this, another evidence of his
energy.

Various Notes.

J. K. Hutchinson, who has been doing
landscape gardening in Sewickley, will
open a cut flower store next Thursday
and, as he is well known in that section,
which is the suburban home of the most
fashionable set about Pittsburg, we pre-
dict for him a successful future.

The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. were
pushing chrysanthemums, Beauties, and.
good violets last week. The violets were
very fine for this season.

A. W. Smith has been showing some
fine pink mums. Glory of Pacific, the
past week. He reports fall business as
looking even better than last year.

There is much complaint about the way
our custom house assesses duty on bulbs,
charging about the same for the cheaper
bulbs as for the best grades. It seems
almost impossible for some of the smaller
importers to get the necessary informa-
tion from them, how to get their goods,
which causes a great deal of loss of time
and some profanity.

L. I. Neff 's is the only store in Pitts-
burg making a good display of bulbs;
in fact, the only store in this city hand-
ling a complete line of bulbs and seeds
in a retail way, as well as plants and
cut flowers. W. C. Beckert, Allegheny,
makes a specialty of flower and vegetable
seeds and bulbs, wholesale and retail.

Jos. Thomas, of Greensburg, Pa., who
has been in the business as a plantsman
for some years, is about to open a store
and take up the cut flower end of the
business. He is a hustler and never fails
in anything he undertakes.

For the past few years the trade has
been making a feature of bells for Christ-
mas made of sawdust, immortelles and
paper; it remained for Mr. Elverson, the
pot man, to ring in a clay one, and it

BOULDER, COLO.

Every effort is being put forth for a
big business in this city the ieoming sea-
son. Mrs. Jane M. Johnson has made
several additions to her already very com-
plete greenhouses, added a new violet
house and raised the roof to others and
put in new benches. All her houses are
Well filled and the stock is looking fine.
She has one of the best florists in Col-
orado in charge of her houses and should
do a thriving business.

Ed Hubbard, the pioneer florist of
this place, has qui* raising flowers and
gone into the vegetable business. He
has two houses 20x100 for that purpose.
Mr. Knudson, who has been raising vege-
tables for some years, has quit that and
has his houses filled with roses and car-
nations. Each claims to have been mak-
ing money, but says^there is more money
in the other line, so '''you pay your money
and take yo.ir choice."

The McKinzie houses, on Twelfth
street, are in charge of F. A. Haensel-
man, a florist from Denver, and this is
his first season.

C. P. Waldron has two houses on North
Twelfth street and things are looking
well with him. He has been here for
years and has a well established trade.

The Cannon Company is under the man-
agement of John Porter, George B. Can-
non having retired from the business. The
greenhouses are located at Lafayette,
twelve miles from Boulder, with a retail
store at Boulder.

The people of Boulder are very liberal
in buying flowers, plants, etc., and we
hope there may be enough business for
everyone. Rex.

has opened a flower store in the Loraine.

The Gardeners' Cliromcle.

When a flower bud is forming at
the apex of each shoot on a chrysanthe-
mum growth ceases for a brief period.
In a few days each shoot will be bris-
tling with new growths, especially im-
mediately under the newly formed bud.
When it can be determined that the bud
is perfect in form, all these shoots
should be removed. This is what is
meant by the term "taking" the bud;
really taking the bud in chargeyis what
is meant.

Clerodendron fallax has on several
occasions been strongly recommended
for its usefulness for conservatory deco-
ration during the summer months. The
best way is to grow it in considerable
numbers and to take the plants to the
conservatory when coming into bloom.

Begonias contribute materially to
the many attractions of the greenhouse
in the Eoyal Gardens, Kew, and afford
object lessons of much value to visitors.
Especially noteworthy in the center of
the house are the splendidly flowered ex-
amples of Begonia cocinea, a robust
erect-growing species, bearing in profu-
sion large clusters of bright coral-red
flowers; and President Carnot, a mag-
nificent variety, similar in character to
the foregoing, but more robust in
growth, and producing larger and more
richly colored flowers. The specimens
of the first-named are about four feet
in height, while the examples of the lat-
ter range from four to six feet, and,
with their numerous clusters of bright red
flowers are very effective.

Spiraea Abguta. — The shrubby forms
of spirsea are now innumerable, but
however rigid a selection is carried out,
this must on no account be omitted. It
forms a dense bush about four feet to
five feet high, and toward the end of
April the slender, gracefully disposed
branches are crowded with clusters of
pure white blossoms. A great recom-
mendation is its comparative indiffer-
ence to frosts and cutting winds, which
often play havoc with many early flow-
ering shrubs. This spiraea is of hybrid
origin, having been raised, on the Con-
tinent, between S. Thunbergi and S.
multiflora. It is sometimes employed
for flowering under glass, a purpose for
which it is well suited.

Impatiens Oliveri is a handsome spe-
cies that has the promise of proving of
considerable value for decorative pur-
poses. This species was discovered by
the late Joseph Thomson, at Lykipia,
Tropical East Africa, at elevations
ranging from 6,000 to 8,000 feet, with
flowers scarcely more than one and a
half inches across. It is a point of
some interest that while the flowers of
the wild plants are white, the flowers of
the plants under cultivation are of a
rose-lilac hue.

Within the last fifty years great
changes have taken place in plant cul-
ture, many subjects at one time popu-
lar having almost disappeared from cul-
tivation, Avhile, on the other hand, some
(tuberou.s begonias, for instance), then
completely unknown, are now met with
in nearly every garden. Through all

these vicissitudes the zonal pelargonium
(geranium) has held its own as a gen-
eral favorite, not, however, always rep-
resented by double-flowered forms, for
these did not make their appearance till
1865.

FROM OUR ENGLISH EXCHANGES.

The Gardeners' Magazine.

Amaryllises, when the bulbs are
dried off and quite at rest, may be win-
tered in any structure where the temper-
ature does not fall below 38 degrees.
This may be considered a safe limit, al-
though once in my experience a batch of
bulbs which had commenced to throw up'
their young leaves were accidently sub-
jected to a temperature which was one
or two degrees below freezing point,
without apparent injury to either leaves
or bulbs.

The proper maintenance of hedges
under any circumstances entails no small
amount of labor, but by cutting at the
right season, while the growth is soft,
labor is considerably lessened as com-
pared with that which is required to cut
hardened growths. Moreover, winter or
spring cut hedges frequently bulge out
at the top and look unsightly all the
year. The same thing may, of course,
happen by cutting in August, but at
that time the fault is more easy to rem-
edy, and early autumn trimming pro-
duces a neat hedge during the greater
part of the year — autumn, winter,,
spring, and part of summer. This can-
not be said to be the case with pruning
deferred to winter or spring.

Lonicera Hildebranti. — 1 lately vis-
ited Eobert Veitch & Son 's nursery at
Exeter, and among many other inter-
esting things saw this giant honeysuckle
in fine bloom in a glasshouse. I cut a
couple of bloom-trusses to take home
with me, and found on measuring the
perfect flowers that they were five
inches in length, and nearly three inches
across the open mouth. The blossoms
are bright yellow in color and very fra-
grant.

Begonia Socotrana. — Prior to the
introduction of the newer varieties of
winter-flowering begonias, one was al-
ways endeavoring to induce this species
to flower in the early part of the win-
ter, but the necessity for this no longer
exists, and it is now most Useful when
in bloom at its proper season, which is
from about the middle to the end of
winter. Let the chisters of bulbils be
divided into smaller clusters of about
six or eight, and pot these in loam, leaf-
soil and/sand, using small, well-drained
pots. ^This begonia enjoys a high tom-
peratllre and a moist atmosphere, and
should be grown near to the glass, in
order to prevent the flower-stems from
becoming drawn. When the plants are
well rooted they should be afforded a
shift into 5-inch pots, which will be
suflBiciently large enough for all but very
strong plants to flower in.

When the growths of peonies have
withered, cut them off, and fork over
the soil lightly, then apply a mulch of
good rotten manure, and afford water
afterwards if necessary. These remarks
will apply to the Moutan as well as to
herbaceous varieties. Eemove all shoots
from the stocks of Moutan peonies that
appear below the grafts.

MORE DETAILS NEEDED.

I have a plant heating two houses,
which worked perfectly until last season.
There is a separate flow and return for
«ach house. Last winter one house would
get too hot and the other too cold; not
always the same house. When we start
to fire one flow will get hot and the other
stay cold, the return getting hot first,
sometimes one and sometimes the other.
No one seems to know what is the mat-
ter. Can you help me? W. T. S.

Without a definite plan or description
of the arrangement of the pipes and
boiler in your system it is impossible to
suggest a solution for the trouble. There
are numerous causes which might lead to
the difficulty you describe, but without a
full detail of the plant we can only guess
at the real cause. Send a sketch of yoiliK
plant, and a description, and we will en-
deavor to solve the problem. L. C. C.

word that their stock had been des-
troyed in the big storm the night before.
Among the professional exhibitors were
H. N. Cottam, Adam Laub & Son, H. A.

for W. P. Clyde, and John Galvin, gar-
dener for Irving Grinnell, who won the
silver cup for best display. Most of the

without cost to prove its GOODNESS and our assertion that it . was the most effective, cleanest and

October 6, 1904.

TCXD MUCH HEAT.

I have a ten-section Carmodj boiler
heating two houses 25x75, separated by
a partition, two feet of glass in one side
of each, south end glass, except two
and one half feet, shed across north end.
I was told when building to put in eight
runs of 2-inch pipe and so put eight
under each bench, thinking that was the
meaning of my instructions. Judging by
the answers to queries in the Eeview, I
begin to think I have too much pipe,
■even for Nova Scotia. I want 56 to 60
degrees in one house and 45 to 50 de-
grees in the other.

I have to shift my boiler, as it is not
deep enough. The top is now about
eighteen inches above the level of the
•coils and the circulation is poor. The
main flow and return are 4-inch, branch-
ing into 3-inch. In fitting the boiler
hubs the maker used 3%-inch couplings
in place of 4-inch nipples. I wrote to him
^bout it and he said it would make no
appreciable difference so near the boiler.
Is the boiler large enough? How deep
should it be sett W. C.

I do not have the rating of a ten-sec-
tion Carmody boiler but the manufac-
turers will undoubtedly gladly give the
radiation the boiler is supposed to carry.
In your case a boiler with a capacity
for heating at least 1,200 feet of radia-
tion should be provided. The house to
be run at 56 to 60 degrees should have
twelve runs of 2-inch pipe the length of
the house and the house to run at 45 to
50 degrees should be provided with ten
runs of 2-inch pipe. The distribution of
the pipes will depend upon the construc-
tion of the benches, which is not stated,
as well as the direction of the prevail-
ing v'inds. If it is possible to lower the
boiler so as to bring the top of the
boiler eighteen inches to two feet below
the radiation pipes, the circulation will
be quicker and the heating more satisfac-
tory than it will be with less fall. One
3-inch riser shftuld be suflBcient to carry
the radiation in either of these houses.

SUPPLYlNCi aoiL liLEMENTS.

Stock which has been growing freely
since planting time should now have the
soil well filled with roots, the small feed-
ers of which will now be so close to the
surface that further cultivation will be
sure to destroy or injure them, and ought
therefore to be discontinued.

To provide sufficient food for coming
crops and to supply lae elements which
have already been absorbed a light mulch
should be applied as often as the plants
require it. To obtain the full benefit of
a mulch it is not necessary to put it on
thick, as this excludes the sun's rays
from the soil and prevents the bene-
ficial action of the air on its surface, an
inch thick being amply sufficient at this
season. Besides, small and frequent ap-
plications are better and safer than to
take any risks by giving an over-dose.

There is no better or safer material
for this purpose than decomposed cow
manure, and to render this fit for imme-
diate use it should be passed through a
screen of %-inch mesh and about one-
third of its bulk of good fibrous loam
added. This gives it weight and helps
retain it in its place on the bench when
water is applied. To this compost can
be added a 6-inch pot of desiccated bone
meal to each bushel. The whole should
be thoroughly incorporated before beiim
spread evenly over the surface.

For some weeks after applying tbe
mulch a careful inspection of the benches
each day will be necessary, as appear-
ances are very deceptive. The manure in
the mulch absorbs and retains the mois-
ture, giving the bencn the appearance of
being moist enough, when a careful ex-
amination may disclose the fact that the
soil underneath the mulch may be bone
dry.

When the mulch has become partly ex-
liausted a top dressing of unleached wood
ashes will greatly benefit both foliage,
stem and color of bloom. This being ;•
very concentrated form of food, will re-
quire to be used with caution, as an
over-dose will quickly sicken the plants
and cause the young wood to wilt. For a
first application one bushel will be suffi-
cient to cover 100 square yards of bench.
After the plants get accustomed to this
kind of food they will thrive on double
the quantity.

Most of our rose soils are deficient in
calcareous matter as regards culture un-
der glass and, where that element is also
low in the water supply, means should
be taken to supply this want from time
to time. This can be supplied in tlic

form of air-slaked lime, a generous
sprinkling of which can be given at least
once a month all the year around.

A serviceable fact to bear in mind is
that bone meal and lime in combination
release so much ammonia that > no rose
will succeed where it is used, the foliage
t.e.ng sure to suffer from even a slight
application.

Beauties, being gross feeders, require
more attention in respect to food than
Brides and other teas, but the fact that
they are heavy feeders does not warrant
us in giving them an extra heavy mulch,
as they are just as susceptible to over-
feeding as are our most delicate varieties
( f teas. Also, if they are once sickened
it takes them a much longer time to re-
cover. RiBES.

roses and have been in the field since
last spring, set out from 3% -inch pots.
Can we take up tea roses and make dor-
mant plants of them, and how shall we
treat them? A. T. B.

PLANTS FROM FIELD.

We would like some information on
roses. Can we take tea roses from the
field into the greenhouse with any suc-
cess and how should we treat them?
They are about the size of 4-inch pot

It is an easy matter to bring tea roses
to a dormant condition and transplant
into the house with success. This is be-
ing done quite frequently with Califor-
nian stock. I, ho\#ever, think it would
be a losing transaction to lift such small
roses from the field and plant at this
late season, as it is an established fact
that roses are rarely a success financially
unless we can get them into crop about
the holiday season, and these plants can
hardly be in condition to bear a crop till
spring.

To get them to make a start in the
house they should be lifted when tie
soil is dry and transplanted into good,
rich soil. Give one good watering around
the roots, keep the house cool and moist
until root action commences, shade the
house lightly for a wedt and syringe
once a day during bright weather. As
root action commences, which will be
indicated by the eyes beginning to
swell, gradually increase the supply of
water and give air more freely. Re-
move the shading as soon as the eyes
begin to break. Until the leaves develop
and young shoots begin to appear the
temperature should be kept at about 50
degrees at night, not to exceed 55 de-
grees during the day, if possible.

This method of culture has been
tried by many experts during the last
ten years, but that they do not follow
it up is a sure indication that it is not
a wholly satisfactory one. Ribes.

The Dutch Bulbs.

You will find time now to get all the
Dutch bulbs into flats, reserving enough
for your bedding trade, and let me say
just here that there is no hurry about
planting hyacinths and tulips for next
spring's outdoor display. The very best
display of tulips we ever saw were put
into the ground near the end of Novem-
ber when it was very wet. No need to
wait quite so late or to have the ground
unpleasant to work on, yet it is well
known that late planting of these bulbs
gives a better and more lasting show in
the spring than those planted early. To
be definite, say, the middle of November
will be right.

Outdoor Bulb Displays.
Be sure and plant deep enough. Six
inches is not too deep. The bulbs will
work up toward the surface during early
spring. And plant thick enough. If
you have a customer who wants a twelve-
foot circular bed of tulips and can only
afford to buy 200 bulbs, persuade him
to make the bed only six feet across, or,
better still, prove to him that a twelve-
foot bed needs about 450 tulips to be
really handsome. About six inches apart
is a good distance for tulips and the

same for hyacinths. Where large quanti-
ties, say 5,000 or 6,000 in one bed, are
used the inner rows can be planted thin-
ner with just as good effect, because you
look over them and if they were one foot
apart they would still look a dense mass
of bloom. Yet a small bed sparsely
planted is a chilly looking object and
some nice green grass is pleasanter to
look upon.

While on this subject it is as well to
say that a covering of four or five inches
of stable litter should be spread over the
beds after real winter has set in, not so
much to keep out frost, for it's doubtful
if the hardest freezing does them any
harm, but toward spring the alternate
freezing and thawing brings the bulbs
to the surface and injures the buds which
are already peeping through the ground.
Remove the winter covering as soon as
hard frosts are over or before much top
growth is made.

Bulbs for Forcing;.

To return to the forcing operation,
there is nothing new to add to what al-
ready has been so often told. Briefly,
use flats three inches deep and always a
uniform size. A light soil, or the old

?*jy'*»B^t!,y.«|»ji!'i

1002

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

OCTOBEB 13, 1904.

carnation soil that you threw out last
summer will do. Put the bulbs in thick-
ly, almost touching, and you will save
space, time and labor. Soak the soil in
the flats and then lay some old boards
down on the open ground and place the
flats on them. We don't mean a whole
floor of boards, but a strip at ea<;h end
of the flats, so that they lift up clean
when you want to bring them in to
force.

After the first thorough watering has
soaked in, cover with three inches of
soil. Some use tanbark. And that's all
that's needed unless the weather is dry.
If 80, you must give these beds a thor-
ough watering once a week or the soil
in the flats will be dry and little root
growth will occur and they will be in
poor condition to force. After the soil
covering the flats has an inch or so of
frost in it, cover the beds with six inches
of stable litter.

Now we have never failed to have
good tulips and daffodils with these
methods, yet our winters vary so much
in duration, severity and amount of
snow that I have seen us have to actu-
ally chop the flats out with an ax. At
other times the snow was so constant
and heavy that frost never even entered
the soil or tanbark covering the flats
and by April 1 you would see the green
leaves of Yellow Prince shoving up
through soil and litter into daylight.
That's not good. It does not often oc-
cur, but to keep the top growth dwarf
until forcing time is desirable.

Bulb Stock in Pans.

Bulbs that we grow in pots or pans
we prefer to put into frames or where,
in addition to the covering of soil, we
can protect them with sash or shutters,
because if frost should reach the pots
and pans there would be a good deal of
breakage. Many growers of hyacinths
put them in flats as you would tulips or
Roman hyacinths for cutting. Then at
forcing time they lift them carefully out
of the flats without losing any of their
roots and make them up into pans or
single pots; they flower just about as
well as those put into the pots or pans
in October.

We constantly during winter make up
8 to 12-incb pans of single tulips taken
from flats in full flower and thsre is
no fraud or harm in doing so, for the
customer has just as much pleasure from
them. Yet there are some bulbs that we
grow especially for Easter that we much
prefer to put into the pans now, viz.,
"Von SioB narcissus, Murillo and Tour-
nesol tulips and first-class Dutch hya-
cinths.

Storing Ginna Roots.

Our late heavy frost has killed the
cannas almost to the ground, so at the
first opportunity dig them up, shake off
most of the earth, cut off the stems five
or six inches above the roots and lay
them under a bench where there is little
or no drip. We often learn how to do
things right by observing cases where
"how not to do it" was the method. A
bench where pot plants are used and
where the drip through is copious is the
worst possible place for these roots. A
carnation or rose bench, where little drip
should occur during winter, is a good
place for them, but don't put them on
the ground. Lay down some boards to
keep moisture away from them or the
eyes will start growing, which will be a
loss. Do your best to keep the varieties

apart, so that there is no risk of their
getting mixed. The roots are not so
distinguishable to the average florist as
Enchantress and Lawson carnations and
when a bed of Tarrytown produces a
few plants of Kate Gray or David Har-
um they are out of place.

Caladium Esculentum.

The Caladium esculentum is so cheap
that it does not pay to go to much trou-
ble over them, still if you have a lot of
medium size corms it will cost little to
dig them, cut the stem off nine or ten
inches above the root and lay them
under a warm, dry bench. These you
need not put on boards, as the slight
moisture arising from the ground keeps
them ji^st right.

Dahlias.

We have been more encouraged with
dahlias this summer than for many years
past. In August and September they
flowered finely and sold well. Cut the
stems off a few inches above the ground,
shake off the soil and store them any-
where that the temperature is about 40
degrees. Where potatoes will keep is a
good place for the dahlia tubers.

Make up your mind to grow some
dahlias this winter. What little I know
will be told later. It is easy to do very
satisfactorily and profitably. The roots
now dug up and that have flowered this
fall may be all right for starting at
New Year's for an Easter crop, but I
would rather depend on roots especially
prepared for the purpose, that is, grown
in pots during the summer and ripened
off early, so that they would be more
willing to start. A low bench where you

have grown chrysanthemums and can
keep a night temperature of 50 to 55
degrees is the place and the cactus and
pompon varieties are the types to grow.
There is no "crop" about them. They
will flower from April to July. We con-
sidered our 100 plants of dahlias last
spring a decided ten-strike.

Gladioli.

Wherever potatpes will keep, so will
gladioli. The gentlemen who grow nine-
ty acres, or one-third of it, must have
cellars or cool houses especially adapted
for their purpose. A dry basement where
there is a furnace is too dry for these
roots and corms. But laid out in shal-
low flats or boxes, beneath a bench in a
cool house, will do very well.

Cyclamen.

This is the time to sow cyclamen if
you want fine plants for Christmas, 1905.
They can be sown from September 1
to New Year's. This month is all right.
Keep in a temperature of 55 to 60 de-
grees and keep moderately moist. Cycla-
men seed is rather slow to germinate,
so have patience and keep the weeds
picked out. Now here is a case where
baking the soil that is to be used to
cover the seed is most beneficial. It may
be nearly three months before the little
plants are ready to transplant. In that
time you may have a botanic garden on
the surface of the soil. A few minutes
roasting of this small quantity of soil
will kill seeds of all the coarser weeds,
as well as the many species of minute
plant life that quickly infest any vacant
territory. William Scott.

FLORIST

GIVE A MUM SHOW.

Why don't you wake things up a bit
this fall? It isn't so very difficult and
usually it's quite worth while in point of
profit. Besides, have you no pride in
having your place known, in seeing your
business grow, not only for the money
there may be in it but for the pure joy
of doing things! By the way, did you
ever notice that the fellow who does ra-
tional things for the mere .loy of doing
is usually the one who has all the money
he needs to do things with? No, it isn't
the money that does the things; it's do^
ing the things that makes the money,
usually.

There are not many florists so slovenly
that they wouldn 't do more business if
their places were better known. Get the
people in, treat them politely, don't urge
them, mark the prices on a few things
and they'll buy. If not this time, they'll
come again. But don't urge; nobody
will come back to a place where he can't
get away unless he makes a purchase or
leaves, his self respect.

But to get the people? That's not so
hard. Give a chrysanthemum show. If
you grow your own stuff it's easy. Clean
up the greenhouses; fix up the store. En-
gage a couple of men to fiddle. Get a

punch bowl, fill it with pink lemonade
and get a pretty girl to serve. Possibly
it will be worth while to give each lady
a rose, each gentleman a carnation; but
what will you give the children? That's
always a problem when you begin to give
things away.

Now don't forget the advertising. The
smaller the town the easier this is. The
average country editor is the nicest fel-
low in the world. Take him a box of
flowers; he'll be very glad to hear that
at last the town is going to have a
flower show to which he and his wife are
specially invited. Don't forget to tell
him about the fiddles and the punch
bowl. In a bigger town you will have
to pay for a small advertisement to get
a bigger one free in the reading col-
umns, and in a big city it's a case of
cash with order if your standing isn 't
known. But it's worth it. If the city
is too big to draw people from all parts
of it, print some handbills and distribute
them in your vicinity; or print a neat
invitation and mail it, but stamps cost
monej:.

If you are a retail florist and haven't
ii-ny greenhouses you can have a show
just the same. You can get all the stock
you need in the wholesale markets. And

you can run your show in the evening,
which the greenhouse man can't, for
likely he hasn't light enough in his
houses.

If you give a good show and treat the
people right, don't be discouraged if the
attendance isn't quite what you expect-
ed. The people will all come back next
year and bring their friends. And while
you have your store nicely trimmed up
with wild smilax, asparagus, plants and
cut flowers, see that the progressive dry
goods man looks in; perhaps he will
want to fix up a bit for his fall opening,
or perhaps not until Easter.

and executed by himself as a part of the
floral decorations, 'ihe arch is built upon
a low radiator in front of a window, the
native ferns pretty effectually screening
the iron from view. The floral arch
itself is of well-flowered sprays of Crim-
son Eambler rose and with the lace win-
dow draperies, as the illustration shows,
makes an unusual and attractive back-
ground for the marriage service. The
idea is that of W. W. Ainsworth, Des
Moines, la.

A GOOD CENTER-PIECE,

A dahlia not often seen in the western
cut flower markets is Twentieth Cent-
ury. It could not help but sell. It would
be a profitable investment for anyone to
grow a batch for his wholesale market
and it would pay every retail florist who
nas a high-class trade to either grow a
few for his own use or to arrange to
have someone grow some for him. The
flowers are large, single, white, with pink
center. This fall they have been in very
good demand in the large cities of the
east, where moderate quantities have
been offered. For dinner table center-
pieces nothing is finer. Put them in
bowls or baskets with Adiantum cunea-
tum, Croweanum or Farleyense.

MAKING MOTTOES.

Almost all of the motto making that
is done is of either flowers or foliage.
The former, of course, is the more elab-
orate and expensive, and the letters
should be made, with few exceptions,
after the style of the ordinary shallow
floral design. Flowers of good keeping
quality, uniform size and one color
should be selected, and stemmed on half
picks, and the letter frame filled accord-
ing to the practice for the construction
of other plain, solid designs. Special
care should be exercised to have the let-
ters proportioned correctly, and when
fastened on the wall, placed in exact
lines. Have as marked a contrast be-
tween the background and letters as the
laws of color allow. No background but
a plain one is fit for lettering. If the
wall is figured substitute a temporary
background of plain paper or fabric.
Letters made on sphagnum-filled frames
are too heavy and thick to tack or nail
to the wall, but must be suspended like
a picture, with wire, from the moulding
above. It is a nice task to suspend the
letters on a line and it is well in any case
to mark off the line, carpenter-like, be-
fore beginning to hang the letters. Make
plain capital letters all the way through
the motto. Letters of nine to twelve

inches in height and wide in proportion
can be seen plainly in any ordinary
hall or church.

More commonly used and easily made
are letters of stiff cardboard covered with
green or autumn foliage. According to
the season, use lycopodium, arbor-vitsB
clippings, oak, English ivy or brilliant
red, bronze or yellow autumn leaves,
draw out the cardboard letters free hand
and cut with sharp knife or scissors.
If you are a woman, you will naturally
us the latter weapon, but if you belong
to the sterner sex, of course you will
never condescend to cut with anything
but a knife. A very satisfactory letter
covering for summer decorations is well-
matured green oak leaves. Lay them end
for end on the letter and sew through
and through with silkaline. There is
just enough fantastic variation in the
outline of the oak leaf to give an orna-
mental touch to the letter. In some
places, however, a little trimming of
the edge of the leaf will be necessary.
Letters so constructed are light and one
tack in each will secure them in place
on the wall. If letters must be made
smaller than the above dimensions, trim
the leaves to the exact size of the letter
after they are sewed on. Unless kept
very cool, green oak leaves and autumn
foliage will begin to curl about the third
day after cutting. In this and all
other decorative work keep doors and win-
dows closed to exclude draughts of air.
for breezes are worse than heat on cut
flowers.

For Christmas or later winter decora-
tions, holly, arbor-vita; or lycopodium
mottoes are the most durable. Make
holly letters like the oak, by sewing.
Arbor-vitaj may be either sewed or wrap-
ped on the letters. Small clippings are
the most easily handled. If lycopodium
is to be used, choose the sprays and con-
3truct letters as described above with the
oak and arbor-vita*. Scarlet immortelles
make good motto material for winter oc-
;asions.

If the sentiment of a motto can be ex-
pressed by a good symbolic design, make
that in preference to lettering.

If it becomes necessary to manufacture
your own background, as is mentioned
above, and there is enough foliage at
hand, make a brilliant background of
sumach, oak or maple leaves, and the
lettering in green over it, or make a holly
background and lettering of red immor-
telles. If plenty of space is available,
an^d expense permits, letters might be
made of smilax wrapped on the face of
the letter forms with silkaline. Still
other materials suitable for this work
are galax leaves, leucothoe, laurel or
other foliage of tough or woody struc-
ture. Gertrude Blair.

FLOWERS BY TELEGRAPH.

Put a neat sign in your window: "Fu-
neral or gift flowers delivered by tele-
graph anywhere in the United States."
When you have taken an order refer to
the page of "Leading Retail Florists"
in the REVIEV7 and select a man to whom
to telegraph the order. You will find it
a very satisfactory source of new busi-
ness.

STORING CUT FERNS.

Please tell us how to put up common
ferns so they will keep during the win-
ter. I am new in the business and shall
appreciate the information. M. G.

Although the correspondent does not
say so, it is supposed from the fact that
his letter is dated in northern Michigan,
that he proposes to go into the woods
and gather hardy ferns for his own use.
This is done by many in that locality.
E. E. Pieser, of the Kennicott Bros. Co.,
Chicago, says that so far as he knows
they each have some sort of rough cellar
in which the ferns may be kept just be-
low freezing. They are gathered and
packed in boxes, perhaps with a little
sphagnum moss between the layers of
ferns, although this is not necessary.
The boxes usually have holes bored in
the sides to admit air. The point is
that the box must become frozen through
and kept just below freezing until the
stock is wanted; then the ease is re-
moved to a place where it will thaw out

very gradually. Alternate freezing and
thawing spells ruin. As to keeping ferns
in artificial cold storage, the wholesale
florists, particularly in Chicago, have
spent thousands of dollars in trying to
find out how it should be done and have
not yet discovered the way to insure suc-
cess. Sometimes the ferns keep; some-
times they don't. It is a speculative
proposition.

As to keeping ferns bought in mod-
erate quantities from the wholesaler, as
good a way as any is to put them in
buckets of water, standing the ferns as
many as will go in a bucket, with water
two inches up the stems. CJover with
damp cheesecloth and place in the room
where carnations are ordinarily kept.
See that the cloth is kept dampened and
water in the bucket.

VARIETIES IN FLOWER.

The list of varieties ready for cutting
is growing every day and now begins to
include the big fellows. Lady Harriet,
Alice Byron, Halliday, Mrs. Coombes,
White Coombes, Mrs. T. W. Pockett and
in a day or two more, Kobinson.

Alice Byron as an early white is peer-
less and how this variety filtered into
the trade and established itself as a
top-notcher without any previous her-
alding is one of the mysteries that has
never been satisfactorily explained. By-
ron has been planted largely this year
by the commercial growers and is giv-
ing great satisfaction.

Mrs. Coombes is now quite largely
grown as a pink and its white sport,
which will l>e introduced next year, will
undoubtedly be well received. As is
often the case with a sport, it shows
some rejuvenation and is a stronger
grower than the parent, but otherwise
is similar, in foliage and every other
respect. This white sport appeared last
year with President Arthur Herrington,
of the C. S. A., at Madison, N. J.
Whether it has appeared elsewhere
through the country I have not heard,
but it is quite possible.

Cutting; and Shipping.

It is a very wrong practice, though
quite common, to cut the flowers, pack
them in boxes, and ship them to market
without having them stand in water for
some time. When one gets a rush order
and has to ship at once, there is no help
for it, but under ordinary conditions
it is far better to cut the flowers one
day and ship them the next. Twenty-four
hours is not too long a time for the stems
to be soaking up the water and if the
shipper has ever seen the diflferencc in
the appearance of flowers so treated,
and flowers shipped without having been
in water, when they are unpacked, he
will need no further advice on this sub-
ject. Let the receptacle in which the
flowers are placed to soak up the water
be large enough and deep enough so that
the stems will be kept upright and not
bent over. Then the water has a free
passage direct to the flower.

In packing the flowers in the boxes
do not be sparing of the tissue paper,
as a mum badly bruised is a very hard
proposition to sell at any price. Pack
caretuiiy and securely and have a little
tissue paper between each flower to keep
them from rubbing on each other. If
the stpms and foliage do not fill the box

in the center, press them down and hold
them fast by nailing a slat or twc
across inside the box, to prevent them
from thrashing around.

A litte care spent in packing is time
well spent, since the labor of months i?
represented in the flowers and if they
get bruised and spoiled they may be se<
down as a dead loss. Brian Boru.

"TAKING" THE BUD,

' ' Taking the bud ' ' of chrysanthe-
mums is a technical term for the selec-
tion of buds likely to produce the finest
blooms. There are many points to
which the grower must give attention if
he would achieve success in the culti-
vation of chrysanthemums, and one of
the most, if not the most, important
points is "taking" the bud, for, as all
who have had experience with the cul-
ture of chrysanthemums know, the buds,
to furnish first-class flowers, must be
selected within a few days of the
proper time for each variety, and more
especially if required for exhibition. As
so well known to experienced cultivators,
the flower from a bud taken too early
is rough and poor in color, whereas if
the bud should be taken late, the flower
will be of a good color, but greatly lack-
ing in size. The buds of some varie-
ties require to be taken early in Au-
gust, while others, such as singles and
j)ompons, as late as the end of Septem-
ber, but to know the varieties, and when
the bud should be taken, also whether
the crown or terminal bud is the best,
can only really be learned by personal
experience. To have first-class blooms
the buds must be taken at the proper
time, and the only way to bring this
about is by studying the peculiarities of
each individual variety that one is grow-
ing, i. e.. the proper time the bud should
be taken, also the length of time the
plants take from their first natural
break to the crown bud, and in some
instances from the latter to the termi-
nal. For example, the best colored flow-
ers of Viviand-Morel are those from the
terminal bud. and should be taken dur-
ing the last week of August. To be
able to do this, if the plants do not
show their natural break by the first
few days in May, the points should be
taken out, which will cause the crown
bud to show itself about July 20, and
the terminal toward the end of August,
this variety taking twelve weeks from
first break to crown bud, and five weeks
to the terminal, altogether seventeen
weeks from its first break, or when it

was stopped, to the terminal bud. "Tak-
ing the bud" is simply selecting the
bud from which the bloom on each shoot
is to be produced, and carefully remov-
ing the others. — Gardeners' Magazine.

CHRYSANTHEMUM SOCIETY.

In addition to the special premiums
for the Boston exhibition published last
week, as arranged for by the C. S. A.,
the following are arranged for by the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society:

The Massachusetts Horticultural So-
ciety offers for the best fifty blooms of
chrysanthemums of one or more varieties
to be shown in the society's large china
vases five special prizes, $60, $50, $40,
$30 and $20.

The Gardeners' and Florists' Club,
Boston, offers for twelve blooms of any
chrysanthemum of current season's in-
troduction in America, three special
prizes, $25, $15 and $10.

William Nicholson, Framingham, Mass.,
offers for the best vase of 100 white car-
nations, a special prize of $10.

Patten & Co., Tewksbury, Mass., offer
for the best vase of fifty blooms of Car-
nation Mrs. M. A. Patten, a special
prize of $10.

Peter Fisher, Ellis, Mass., offers for
the best vase of fifty blooms of Carna-
tion Nelson Fisher, a special prize of
$10.

Work of Committees.

There was one variety before the New
York committee, Saturday, October 1,
as follows: Merstham YeUow, exhibited
by W^m. Duckham, Madison, N. J.; color
canary yellow, Japanese, scored (new)
commercial scale 90 points.

The variety, Mme. Clementine Touset,
was exhibited by the E. G. Hill Co.,
Bichmond, Ind., before the Cincinnati
committee, Saturday, October 8; color
white; Japanese, scored commercial
scale, 90 points.

THE READERS' CORNER.

Retrogression or Progression?

It was at Kansas City, was it not, in
1902 that John Thorpe reverted? That
is, reverted to the antediluvian method
of staging chrysanthemums on mossed
boards, without stems. In the same year
the silver tongued E. Gurney Hill induced
the Chrysanthemum Society to afford the
weak-stemmed progeny of European rais-
ers the poor support of a bamboo plant
stake re-enforcement, ill-concealed be-
neath the foliage. So much for retro-
gression.

In which direction is the C. S. A. head-
ed with its new scale. Is it progression?
Not being a chrysanthemum grower, I
do not know. I have a notion there will
be a difference of opinion among those
whose opinion is entitled to some little
consideration. Let us put the old scales
and the new fide by side for comparison.
Here they are:

an improvement over the old. It seems
that the points taken from form and full-
ness, and possibly color and size, were
well bestowed upon stem and foliage and
particularly upon substance in a flower
under judgment as to its usefulness to
the cut flower trade.

Looking at the exhibition scale, dis-
tinctiveness has been dropped. Does that
mean that, in the estimation of the com-
mittee, the whole gamut has been run?
Have the mum growers ceased to strive
for variety! Is a striking novelty no
longer of value f Is size the one consid-
eration? I see it gets thirty-flve points.
But no, size cannot be all; form, fullness
and depth get a total of forty-five points.
That would make the ideal mum a pretty
nearly round, incurved flower, would it
not? Five points for stem and five for
foliage looks like the Thorpe and Hill
ideas had prevailed, but not Hill's,
either, for he needs foliage to hide his
stick. Evidently color doesn't cut much
ice if only your exhibition mum is big
enough.

It is a good thing to get these scales
before the interested parties prior to
their final adoption. The executives of
the C. S. A. took it upon themselves to
do this in an effectual way. I only men-
tion this in passing to say that had the
committee "with power to add to its
numbers" been responsible for the use
of a scale before its formal adoption it
would by now be time for a number of
estimable gentlemen to let off steam.

WORLiyS FAIR FLOWER SHOW.

The management of the St. Louis
World 's Fair is very desirous of having
a flower show on the exposition grounds
before the close of the chrysanthemum
season. Overtures were made to the St.
Louis Florists' Club looking to its co-
operation with the Department of Hor-
ticulture in an exhibition which should
be on a scale commensurate with the ex-
tent of the exposition, but the proposi-
tion was not favorably received. It was
then suggested that the Chrysanthemum
Society of America lend its name to the
undertaking. The proposition is still un-

ler consideration. The idea is to con-
duct the show along the lines of the
World's Fair flower show at Chicago in

1893. Whether this can be done inside
the exposition grounds — for it necessi-
tates charging an extra admission fee to
the show — remains to be seen. Other-
wife the finances would have to be pro-
vided wholly by the World's Fair man-
agement. There should be little difiBcul-
ty in securing the co-operation of the
C. 8. A., through its officers and execu-
tive committee, to the extent desired for
any exhibition which would redound to
tlie credit of the flower it represents. But
quick work is necessary as the time is
short. In case the show eventuates P. J.
L'auswirth, of Chicago, is spoken of as
superintendent.

Alocasia Regina.

Fort Smith, Ark. — This city now has
six progressive florists, each doing a
profitable business.

ALOCASIA REGINA.

This beautiful species can be called
a true alocasia. The following from
Bailey's Cyclopedia of American Hor-
ticulture will give you some idea of its
coloring and markings : ' ' Dark green
above, with darker veins and brown pur-
ple beneath; petioles terete, pubescent,
spotted purple."

There is a little more than color de-
scription in the quotation above. It is
one of the most handsome species of
these most ornamental foliage hothouse
plants. As it is a native of that great
Island of Borneo, which lies under the
equator, little need be said regarding the
temperature that suits it. All the alo-
casias are from the torrid zone, Sumatra,
Java, Borneo and the Philippine islands
supplying most of the species. These
alocasias do not enter much into the
florists' business, but in private collec-
tions of plants, in the hothouses of the
wealthy and in botanical gardens, there
are few more ornamental plants.

A. Begina is an evergreen species, but
the growth is not active in winter. About
60 degrees during the dark winter
months will do and as the season ad-
vances and growth commences, which is
March or April, the night temperature
should be raised to 70 degrees. The day
temperature is hard to control, but if
it goes to 85 or 90 degrees it will only
be relished by these tropical plants.
Such a summer as the last, when during
July it was below 50 degrees several
times, will not do for the alocasias and
fire heat would be necessary. A light

shade in spring and summer should be
given them. A warm, moist heat 7-ith
abundance of water at the roots is the
great essential and during their a»offt
active growth weak liquid manure car be
given with benefit.

The pots should be filled at least half
their depth with clean broken crocks to
insure the most perfect drainage. The
compost should be two-thirds fibrous
peat and one-third turfy loam, but both
of these should be in lumps, not finely
broken up or sifted. Add to this some
fresh sphagnum moss and a few pieces
of charcoal. When potting or shifting
keep the rhizomes and compost raised
two or three inches above the rim of the
pot and surface the compost with fresh,
live sphagnum. As will be seen from the
description of the compost, it is very
similar to that which suits many of our
orchids. They do not draw their suste-
nance so much from the ingredients of
the soil as most of our terrestrial plants
are supposed to do, as from the moisture
held in the compost and the humidity of
the atmosphere. William Scott.

FLOWERS OR VEGETABLES.

The Rural New Yorker publishes the
subjoined replies to the following ques-
tion by a reader:

Wp somrtlnies hear of glass gardeners who
change from flower culture to vegetables, or
give up growing vegetables for flowers. There

ally made.

my observation almost invariably apply

ing in gardening matters. By the word
gardening I mean in its full sense, viz.,
the cultivation of plants, fruits and flow-
ers, both under glass and outdoors. It
quite frequently happens that a man will
make a start in the florists' business by
growing vegetables under glass, princi-
pally lettuce, radishes, etc., knowing full
well that such subjects are much more
easily handled than flowering or foliage
plants. If successful with the first he
may add another house or two for the
growing of the latter, and if he succeeds
here he may be tempted to go still further
and attempt the growing of cut flowers,
and this is usually the rock upon which
such men either go to pieces or decide
to return to the growing of vegetables.
With regard to the other side of the
question, the turning from flowers to
vegetables, I really cannot offer a satis-
factory explanation, excepting that some-
times the flower market is overdone in
certain localities, and a grower sees that
he can do better at growing vegetables.
But here is a little of my own experience
which may throw ^ome light on the sub-
ject:

Up to 1900 I had been growing violets
successfully for a period of nearly twenty
years, but at that time my stock became
badly diseased with the so-called leaf-
spot, and every season since it has been
growing worse, until at last I realized
that if I did not wish to lose any more
money in violet growing I would have
to grow something else in the same space;
consequently I have decided to drop vio-
lets entirely (at least for a few years)
and to grow lettuce in the same space,
for there is a good local demand for
choice lettuce, and I feel sure it will pay
me to cater to it. Here is another illus-
tration: We have one house (without
benches) which we devote to chrysanthe-
mums, and these are always followed up
with cauliflower. Last winter a friend
connected with one of the leading hotels
in New York induced me to send to said
hotel a box of three dozen heads of cauli-
flower. Immediately upon unpacking the

the United States, Peter Eeinberg, of
Chicago, began business under glass as
a grower of vegetables, and it was doubt-
less due to a belief that the cut flower
business promised greater profits that
he ultimately changed to cut flowers. This
alert man of business now owns nearly
or quite one million square feet of glass,
and is a shining example of the success
that sometimes smiles upon the florist.
Many men who now grow flowers began
with vegetables because they needed quick
returns for the investment, and a ready-
money crop could be had in vegetables
in less time than in flowers, but no hard
and fast rule can be laid down for the
beginner from the fact that so much de-
pends upon locality and the available
market. The latter conditions are un-
questionably the chief factors in making
a choice between these two branches of
horticulture, though where equal oppor-
tunities are offered for each, it is prob-
able that the flower end would give the
greater profit, but would require a larger
outlay and be consequently a greater risk.
There are some growers who combine the
two branches profitably, for example,
Robert Klagge, of Michigan, who grows
both cucumbers and violets very well, but
I am unable to say which end of his busi-
ness Mr. .Klagge finds most profitable in
proportion to the space occupied. I
cannot recall an example of a cut flower
man who changed to vegetable growing
entirely, but have known of several who
combined carnations, mushrooms and to-
matoes in one establishment, the object
Iwing to get a quicker and larger return
from their glass than was possible by
growing one crop only. W. H. Taplin.

same the proprietor telegraphed for more,
and later by letter offered me $3.50 per
dozen heads for all I could grow, a bet-
ter price than I could get here at retail.
Now I am considering the advisability of
giving up chrysanthemums and devoting
the house to cauliflower entirely, or of
building another house for the cauliflower
crop. In either case you see I am pretty
sure of a good market for the cauliflower
at remunerative prices.

Jesse Eobbins.

The largest grower of cut flowers in

Christmas flower, a button hole for
Santa Claus, and a corsaga for Xris
Kringlc, a flower that will remain with
us as long as we observe Christmas; in
time I feel assured that- it will come
more in prominence than holly is today.
Nothing is brighter and more chearful
than a large vase bouquet arranged with
scarlet bracts on stems four and a half
or five feet long and set up in a church,
or in a hall, or in some s^uitable resi-
dence. Short-stemmed flowers as well as
short plants can be worked to a great

advantage for a table center-piece. There
are numerous ways of beautifying a
window with small plants in fern pans
or jardinieres. It is a flower of profit
in a commercial way; no one has ever
heard of a market being over-stocked;
every season you can see a steady gain
and wonderful increasing demand. It
will never come amiss, and every grower,
no matter how small he is in commercial
life, should have a stock of them, it
adds so much to the beauty of a green-
house when in bloom.

The poinsettia is very easily grown.
Old plants that have been from January
to the middle of April on a high, dry
shelf in your shed, heeled in with a little
soil and in a temperature never less than
60 degrees, no water, kept perfectly dry,
should by the end of April be potted in
a suitable sized pot, all depending on
the size of the plant. Use rose soil from
a bench that yon had forced roses on,
to which add some old hot-bed manure
and a little sand and a little bone. See
that your plants are potted firmly anu
given good drainage. Give them a good
Avatering and place in a warm, light
house and syringe daily. Cut back the
old, long canes that may be on the
plants to two or three eyes from the
main stem. In six weeks you will have
a crop of cuttings. Never take a cut-
ting less than three inches long. In
making them see that you will have one
or two leaves on the stem that you have
taken the cutting off of, and in eighteen
or twenty days you will have another
batch of cuttings. Trim the lower leaves
off your cutting so as to avoid touching
the sand. They should be syringed daily.
Give them bottom heat, lots of shade
and air. On hot, bright days give them
a soaking every day. Morning and
noon throw the water all over the house,
under the benches and on the glass. In
twenty days they will have from one-
half to a quarter-inch root, which is the
best time to pot, as you will find the
roots very tender and therefore very apt
to break.

Pot them in 2% or 3-inch pots. Give
them new made soil that you have pre-
pared for roses and add a little sand and
a trifle bone ; pulverize and mix your
soil; don't have it soggy; see that the
drain hole is open. Place the plants in
a light house, but shade for four days
should it be bright; otherwise omit the
shading. Give them a good watering
and syringe every day and from then on
all the air and light you possibly can
and you will never be troubled with
mealy bugs.

Once out of the first pot you can feed
freely; let the last of September be the
final. Treat your plants on benches the
same way. Temperature to have good
flowers should never be less than 65 de-
gress and 70 degrees will be much bet-
ter. Never cultivate the soil in beds or
pots and never disturb the roots in pot-
ting or planting them ; don 't loosen the
roots as you would when you plant rose
plants. Never let them get pot bound;
disturbing the roots at any time is very
fatal and it is very important for you
to be careful. Plants for benches should
be out of 2\<2 or 3-inch pots. Follow the.
above closely and I can assure bracts
eighteen or twenty inches in diameter.

Don 't plant in benches or solid beds
later than the middle or end of June.
This holds good for the plants you take
your cuttings from, or plants out of
small pots. You can take cuttings from

the old plants when planted in beds.
Those taken middle of August to middle
of September are the best cuttings for
fern dishes and short pot plants. The
canes off of the old plants can be made
into cuttings, one eye at each end; place
them in the sand firmly and water as
you would your soft cuttings. It takes
a little longer to root, but they make
fine bracts.

To support the plants place two No.
18 galvanized wires one above the other,
and right above the plants, with twenty-
four inches space between them, running
lengthwise with the bed. A few braces
to stiffen the wire will be sufficient to
hold your plants in position. Never use
cane sticks, No. O wire for sticks in
your pot plants is much better, as you
will bruise some of the roots in doing
this, and from the very start never
bruise the bark of your plant or the
roots, as the plant will bleed, which is
very injurious at any stage of the game.

On December 10 stop watering and
syringing; this hardens them and they
will get into good shape to cut any time
after December 20. If you want them
sooner cease your watering accordingly.
Don't take up your plants until January
1 and, whatever you do, don 't give them
any water, but have them perfectly dry.
Take them up carefully, see that you
don't bruise the roots, bunch them close-
ly together and heel them in a bench in
your shed.

Handling the Bracts.

I have tried every imaginable way of
treating the cut bracts and I have ob-
tained the best results, but with a little
trouble. You have a small oil stove at
the end of your greenhouse walk, with
boiling water and cut your poinsettia
the desired length. You want to be a
little quick about this work as you want
to get about three or four inches of the
stem in the hot water; hold them in it
about ten or fifteen seconds and take
them right out into cold water. I find
that by cutting just what one can han-
dle, say six or eight of the long stems,
you can have the ends together for the
hot water. The idea is not to let your
stems bleed, or as little as possible.
Work this properly and your flower will
not wilt.

Now, one other matter, and very im-
portant. If you cut a part of a stem
after you have cured it, it will be nec-
essary for you to go through the same
process as you did when you cut them
in the greenhouses. It would be well
for all florists to remind cut flower buy-
ers not to cut the poinsettia stem, or if
they should, be sure to burn or boil three
or four inches of the stem; also avoid
a draught on them.

RUST ON CARNATIONS.

Will you kiii'lly tell me of some rem-
edy for rust on carnations. When I
took the carnation plants from the field
I found black spots on the leaves, which
turn to a powder. I picked off all the
diseased loaves before I benched the
plants but have the same trouble again,
especially on Flamingo, Enchantress and
Wolcott. I am very careful in watering.

LEWIS ULLRICH,

The subject of this brief sketch was
born at Kerweiler, in Bavaria, in 1848,
but was brought to America by his par-
ents when he was in only his second
year. The family resided at Monroe-
ville, N. Y., for a time, but removed to
Tiffin, Ohio, in 1862, and there Mr. Ull-
rich has made his home for forty-two
years. He completed the public school
course in 1866 and then went to Heidel-
berg, in Baden, to complete his educa-
tion in the university founded in 1386
and restored in 1803, which is the oldest
in Germany and one of the most famous
in the world. Graduating there, he re-
turned to Tiffin and devoted sixteen
years to pharmacy. In 1874 he built
his first greenhouse, a conservatory 15x
20 for his mother's plants. At that time
there was no florist in Tiffin and cut
flowers were unknown to the many
uses for which they are now so largelv
employed. Six years later Mr. Ullrich
bought a piece of ground in the suburbs
and built two commercial houses, one
12x50, the other 25x50. Now he has
about 50,000 feet of well kept glass,
growing roses, carnations, violets, chrys-
anthemums and a few bedding plants.
Ninety per cent of the product is sold

wholesale to the florists of the vicinity.
Mr. Ullrich is a participant in all locaT
activities and has done much to widen
the floricultural interests of his locality.
At the same time he has earned for him-
self a place high in the regard of his
neighbors, having served for several
years as a member of the city council
and three terms as county clerk. He
has for years been an active member of
the S. A. F. and of the American Carna-
tion Society, so that he has a wider
acquaintance in the trade than ordina-
rily falls to the lot of one whose busi-
ness interests are so well centered. At
the last meeting of the Carnation So-
ciety he delivered a speech at the ban-
quet, to the toast "The Florist: He's a
Jolly Good Fellow, ' ' which showed a
rhetorical ability and a breadth of sen-
timent which placed the speaker in the
front rank of our after-dinner orators.

A VISIT TO DUNLOP.

It was with pleasure that I read your
article on John Dunlop's place, Toronto.
Last winter, after leaving Detroit and
the carnation show, I took a trip to
Canada, visiting Toronto, Brampton and
other places, and returning home via
Buffalo and Cleveland. Yet my visit to
Mr. Dunlop proved to be the star of the
entire trip, this one being well worth the
total cost of my travels.- Mr. Dunlop
proved so courteous, so obliging and his
place so full of good points that a
grower cannot leave him without acquir-
ing material benefit. I would style him
the prince of propagators, for he showed

tings, where there was by test not an
unrooted one nor a yellow leaf, not a
black spot, nor a red spider; simply per-
fection. It was the same with carna-
tion cuttings. I wish we could get Mr.
Dunlop to write ns an article on propa-
gating. I was so impressed with his
quality of cuttings that upon returning
home I sent him an order for Beauties
and carnations. The result is that at
this writing we have a magnificent lot
of Beauties from his stock and his car-
nation plants can be picked out by the
lustre on their foliage; they are as glis-
tening as an onion patch.

A PACIFIC COAST FIRM.

One of the most enterprising of the
many progressive firms on the Pacific
coast is Clarke Bros., of Portland, Ore.
They havp long had a thriving business
in their ^ome town, but six years ago
came to the conclusion that conditions
were more favorable for cut flower grow-
ing at Fruitvale, Gal., in Alameda coun-
ty, several hundred miles tp the south,
where they also had the advantage of a
contiguous market for whatever they
could produce beyond the requirements
of their own trade. The Southern Pa-
cific gives them a direct line of com-
munication between the two ranges, for
they built at Fruitvale, one of the broth-
ers, Ealph, being in charge there. This
summer he visited the home plant for the
first time in six years.

In this issue of the Review we repro-
duce photographs of each range and re-
gret that no picture of the retail store
in Portland was available, for it is one
of the most attractive in the west. The
Portland plant now consists of eleven
houses, five of them 26x200 and six
22x125, running at right angles. A part
of this glass was put up this summer.
There is in all about 42,000 square feet
of glass. This fall about 20,000 carna-
tion plants will be on the benches, with
about 10,000 chrysanthemums grown to
single stem, together with large quanti-
ties of miscelleanous stock raised for the
retail store and for a catalogue trade
which covers the whole northwest corner
of the country. The range is heated
by one Kroeschell hot water boiler and
one sixty horse-power steam boiler. Wood
is used as fuel.

The California plant consists of three
houses 26x175, three 16x175 and four
26x140, with a propagating house 12x100.
This makes a total of about 38,000
square feet of ground covered. Seven
houses are devoted to carnations, 26,000
being housed. The varieties are equally
Estelle, Lawson, Hill, Prosperity, En-
chantress and Scott, the latter being
grown on account of its unequaled ship-
ping and producing qualities. There are
three houses of Brides and Bridesmaids.
There is also a lath house, 40x40, devoted
to smilax and asparagus, producing an-
nually 6,000 strings. Nearly all the
product from this place is shipped to the
retail store at Portland. The plant is
heated by two thirty horse-power steam
boilers, with crude oil for fuel, it being
much cheaper than coal, besides making
little or no smoke or soot to obscure the
glass.

A NEW ENGLAND ESTATE.

One of the finest of the many and ever
increasing number of private estates in
New England is that of Senator T. B,
Aldrich, at Warwick Neck, E. I. This
is about an hour's sail from Providence
and close to Rocky Point, one of the
most popular shore resorts on the Provi-
dence river, a place noted for clam bakes,
blue point oysters and sundry other at-
tractions of a fashionable nature. The
estate at Warwick Neck is of compara-
tively new formation, only some half
dozen years having elapsed since it was
taken in hand. In that time an immense
amount of building, planting, road mak-
ing and grading has been done under the
superintendence of Fred C. Green, who
has charge of this beautiful estate. The
grounds cover an area of 125 acres, of
which 100 acres are in lawns, necessitat-
ing a great deal of mowing.

The grounds are well wooded and in-
clude some fine specimen trees, selections
from those on the several old estates
which were merged into the present one.
An immense amount of planting has been
done, including thousands of maximum
and hybrid rhododendrons and an ex-
tensive assortment of taxus, thuya, retino-
spora, ilex, thuyopsis, picea and other
evergreens and a large collection of de-
ciduous trees and shrubs. Much of the
stock was imported from Europe and it
is all in fine shape.

In the extensive kitchen garden ad-
joining Mr. Green's residence pleasing
features are the broad grass walks bor-
dered with choice perennials and annuals,
which divide the various quarters, and
espalier-trained apples, pears, plums and
other fruits lined on one or two walks.
Storage pits for tender evergreens, hy-
drangeas, etc., are located here and a
block of houses will later be erected
on land being reserved for that purpose.

A good many interesting memorial
trees are dotted about the grounds. A
thrifty elm taken from George Washing-
ton's old elm in Cambridge, Mass., was
planted by President Roosevelt in 1902
and there are many senatorial trees.

The buildings are practically all of
stone blasted from ledges on the estate.
They comprise handsome stone lodges at
the entrance gates, a magnificent boat
house, bow'ling alley, stables, etc. A
fine sea wall runs the whole length of
the water's edge. The views from all
points of the estate are magnificent, but
the best outlook is from the top of the
lofty water tower, where the panorama
over Narragansett bay is superb. The
water supply is from driven wells, the
water being pumped into a 50,000 gallon
tank.

Those who would like to see a really
princely New England estate should vis-
it Senator Aldrich 's beautiful Rhode
Island home and they cannot fail to be
delighted with what they see. In Mr.
Green the estate has undoubtedly the
right manager and he has many im-
provements still to make. We do not
wonder that the senator, his unassuming
son-in-law, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and
other members of his family find a de-
lightful retirement from political and
other cares at Warwick Neck.

THE CALLA DISEASE.

The Bureau of Plant Industry of the
Department of Agriculture has recently
issued a bulletin on the soft rot of the
calla lily which will be of interest to
every calla grower, if not of as great
practical assistance as had been hoped
for by those who knew the work was in
preparation. There is no doubt that the
disease has brought great loss upon
growers and it is to be regretted that
four years of study by Prof. Townsend,
much of his work being done in the green-
houses of A. B. Garden, at Anacostia,
D. C, has not produced a more satis-
factory result. ' ' The successful treatment
of the diseased plants was considered im-
practicable," writes the investigator,
' ' and preventive measures were then re-
sorted to. Fresh soil was obtained, also
a new set of corms, but they were not
planted directly in the bed. All that
showed suspicious dark spots were dis-
carded; the remainder were started in
pots and transplanted. This made it
possible to discard all plants which
showed indications of disease after
growth began. ' That is simple but
not eminently satisfactory to the grower
who has paid good money for his bulbs
and found the disease to develop in a
very large proportion of them "after
growth began."

Thcie is, however, much of interest
and value in the freely illustrated pam-
phlet of forty-four pages. The less tech-
nical parts follow:

Introduction.

Under favorable conditions the calla
lily has heretofore been one of the most
satisfactory plants produced either in
ithe open or under glass. In most parts
of the United States the calla will grow
out of doors and will live and thrive
from year to year even in the northern
latitudes, especially if the corms (bulbs)
are protected during the winter season.

As a marketable product, however, it is
more profitable if grown under glass,
where under proper conditions the plants
may be forced and the flowers conse-
quently produced in great abundance at
the time when they will be in greatest
demand. It is under these conditions of
forced growth that the plants seem to be
most susceptible 'to disease.

The profits which arise from calla
growing are derived either from the
sale of the corms or of the flowers, or
from both. A bed of a thousand corms,
for example, will under normal condi-
tions produce 5,000 flowers, which ordi-
narily will sell for about $1,000. (A
very sanguine estimate. — Ed.) The corms
are grown either in solid beds or in pots.
As a rule the best results both as re-
gards the size and number of flowers
produced are obtained from the solid
bed.

There are several diseases to which the
calia is susceptible, but the most serious
one with which the growers have had
to contend- is the soft rot that forms
the subject of this bulletin. This dis-
ease has been reported from the Atlan-
tic to the Pacific and has caused enor-
mous losses to the growers, rendering
tlie production of this hitherto profitable
plant very uncertain. The soft rot of
the calla was brought to the attention
of the writer in the autumn of 1899, and
it has been under "his observation and
study since that time.

Cause and Appearance.

Upon examining microscopically the
decayed portions of the calla corms, my-
riads of bacteria were found to be pres-
ent. These were separated in pure cul-
tures and by repeated experiments were
shown to be the cause of this destruct-
ive disease.

Several greenhouses where the disease
was reported to be present were visited
by the writer, who found the callas rot-
ting off usually at or just below the sur- i

face of the ground, the disease sometimes
extending down into the corm, sometimes
upward into the leaves, and frequentlj
in both directions. Occasionally the
disease seemed to start in the edge of
the leafstalk, in tiie flower stalk, or in
some underground part of the conn,
though as a rule it started at the top
of the corm just above but near the
surface of the ground. It was also no-
ticed that the disease was worse and
spread more rapidly in those houses
where the callas were grown in solid
beds.

When a diseased corm was cut open
it was found that there was a distinct
line between the healthy and the dis-
eased portion of the corm. The healthy
portion of the corm is firm and nearly
white, while the diseased part has a de-
cidedly brown color and is soft and wa-
tery. When the disease extends upward
into the leaves it is the edge of the
petiole that first becomes involved, the
affected part becoming slimy without im-
mediately losing its green color. As the
disease progresses the edges of the leaf
become pale, then brown. Pale spots
becoming brown then appear in other
parts of the leaf blade, and finally the
whole leaf becomes brown and dead.
Frequently the disease develops so rap-
idly that the leaf rots off at the base
and falls over before it has time to
lose its green color. . When the disease
has progressed far enough to attack the
flower stalk, the flower turns brown and
the stalk without having lost its color
and frequently without having decayed
upward more than a fraction of an inch,
eventually falls over.

When the disease works downward
through the corm it sooner or later
reaches the roots, which become soft and
slintiy within, while the epidermis re-
mains intact, thus presenting the ap>-
pearance of thin-walled tubes filled with
a soft substance. When the disease be-

mo

gins its attack below the surface of the
ground the lower portion of the corm
frequently rots away, causing the plant
to fall over without having previously
given any indication of disease. An ex-
aminatiou of the decayed corm shows
that only a small part of the upper
portion of the corm, with a few side
roots, remains. The latter become less
and less numerous as the disease ad-
vances, until at last they are unable to
support the weight of the leaves and
flower stalks.

Spread of the Disease.

If the yonditions for the develop-
ment of the disease are unfavorable
after the corms are affected, the softened
spots will dry down, sinking below the
surrounding portion of the corm and
becoming darker colored. In these spots
the disease will often remain dormant
until the conditions for the development
of the organism again become favorable.
In this way the disease is carried over
from season to season, and it may be
transported long distances.

The spread of the disease from plant
to plant in the same house seems to be
accomplished mainly through the soil.
Usually the first season that the disease
appears only a few of the plants are
actually destroyed, but the millions of
organisms which are produced during the
process of decay remain in the soil, and
some of them reach corms that were
perfectly healthy when planted.

The nature of the soil apparently has
much to do with the spread of the dis-
ease in the bed. A soil that is rich in
vegetable matter is a better medium for
the organism to grow and spread in than
a soil that is poor in such material.
Furthermore, a soil filled with humus
retains the moisture better than one that

fected. The partly decayed corms were
treated with two parts air-slaked lime,
with one part sulphur, Bordeaux mix-
ture, copper sulphate solution, etc.
None of the treatments, however, was
entirely successful. The lime and the
lime and sulphur retarded the progress
of the disease, but in a few cases only
did the disease seem to be entirely erad-
icated. The solutions used appeared to
make no impression upon the disease un-
less they were of sufficient strength to
kill the plant. A few of the plants that
were scraped and left without further
treatment did not suffer further decay,
but the percentage of cases of this kind
was very low.

The successful treatment of the dis-
eased plants in the bed was considered
impracticable, and preventive measures
were then resorted to. The soil was all
removed from the solid bed in which
practically all the callas had decayed,
and this was replaced with fresh soil. At
the proper time a new set of corms was
obtained, but they were not planted di-
rectly in the bed. They were first care-
fully examined and all that showed sus-
picious dark-colored spots were dis-
carded. The remainder were started in
pots and then transplanted. This made
it possible to discard all plants which
showed any indication of the rot after
growth began. As a result no disease
appeared in the bed of 1,000 callas dur-
ing the entire season. The same soil
was used the second and third years and
the same precautions were taken in re-
gard to putting into the bed only
healthy bulbs, so far as possible, with
the result that while a few diseased
plants appeared successful crops of callas
were grown. Very little of the disease
has appeared owing to the precautions
that were taken in changing the soil and

is lacking in vegetable matter, a condi-
tion that greatly aids the multiplication
of the organism. It often happens that
the roots reach from corm to corm
through the soil of the solid bed. Usual-
ly the corms are placed about twelve
inches apart each way, and it is not un-
common for the plants to produce roots
from six to twelve inches in length.

Remedies.

Various methods have been used with
the hope of finding some remedy by
which the progress of the disease could
be stepped after the plants became in-

in selecting healthy corms.

It is safe, therefore, to state that the
Foft rot of the calla may be prevented
or held in check sufficiently for all prac-
tical purposes by changing the soil every
third or fourth year, depending upon the
number of cases of rot that appear, and
by exercising due caution in selecting
only healthy plants for the bed. Dis-
eased corms may often be detected, even
in the dormant state, by examining for
discolored spots, but it is safer to start
the plants in pots, even after the corms
having discolored areas have been re-

jected, to insure getting as few diseased
])lants as possible in the bed, since ex-
perience shows that some corms are so
slightly affected that the disease is not
easly detected in the dormant state.
Some growers prefer to keep their plants
in pots throughout the season as a pre-
ventive measure against the rot, but as a
rule callas grown in this manner do not
produce as large flowers as when grown
in a solid bed.

BOSTONS AT PASSAIC

New Jersey is noted for its rose fac-
tories, but none the less woithy are its
plant growing establishments from the
fact that they are less frequently spoken
of. At Passaic one of the most success-
ful, if not one of the largest growers,
is J. E. Johnson, who does the Boston
fern in first-class style. The accompany-
ing illustration shows one of his houses
of this ever more popular plant.

PHILADELPfflA^

The Market

The black frost which closed last week
effectually settled dahlias for the sea-
son, leaving only cosmos and some field-
grown carnations of the outdoor flowers.
The demand this week has been good,
both in and out of town. Chrysanthe-
mums are increasing rapidly in numbers.
Prices are lower, of course, but so far
have held exceptionally well, owing to
the brisk demand. Koses, carnations
and valley are good sellers, but the sale
of violets appears to depend on the
weather. There are quite a lot of or-
chids in the market. They are very use-
ful for the weddings; so also is cosmos
in a more modest way. Gardenias have
made their appearance in numbers, both
west and east of Sixteenth street, while
at No. li South they have sweet peas.
A few other features are good shipping
orders for wild smilax, valley, etc., re-
ported by the Leo Niessen Co., and a
good demand for Beauties and some re-
markably well-grown Glory of Pacific
reported at S. S. Pennock's.

The Flower Market.

The second annual meeting of the
stockholders of the Philadelphia Whole-
sale Flower Market will be held in the
secretary's room at Horticultural Hall,
Broad street below Locust, at 10 a. m.,
on Monday, October 17. The statement
by the treasurer of the Market's busi-
ness for the past year will be made and
the election of three directors for three
years each will be part of the business
meeting. The directors whose terms ex-
pire are Alfred Burton, David Eust and
Herbert G. Tull. It is understood that
all three are candidates for re-election.

Mr. Tull and Mr. Burton have worked
hard for the Market. Mr. Eust, who
was but recently elected to fill an un-
expired term, has given valuable assist-
ance. Immediately after the meeting the
stalls will be sold at auction at the
Market, 1235 to 1237 Filbert street. The
rental of each stall is $60 a year. The
leases will run from November 1, 1904,
to July 15, 1905.

Kennett.

The Baltimore Central Eailroad is
blocking the Wilmington-Oxford trolley,
so that the southern terminus is now a
country road a couple of squares outside
of Avondale. These trolleys run, or
rather whizz, along every hour, an in
frequent schedule, which compelled D. T.
Conner and Phil to omit a number of
places, notably Eoney Bros, and Connell,

at West Grove, Joseph Kenard & Sons,
at Avondale, that the pair would like
to have seen and to whizz past Isaac Lar-
kins' and Bancroft's into the town of
Kennett.

Kennett is famous as being the home
of Bayard Taylor and of William
Swayne. To the latter place the visitors
at once repaired. There they found the
genial Mr. Swayne, hard at work with
his force of men in one of the carna-
tion houses, looking not a day older than
when Phil last saw him there ten years
before. Well might he sing

"Men may come and men may go,
But I go on forever."

There have been changes at Kennett
in these ten years. Some familiar faces
have gone and some are here, but in
other paths.

Mr. Swayne 's place looked remarkably
well. At that time some carnation houses
were planted. Mrs. M. A. Patten and
Boston Market were in excellent condi-
tion. Many of the other varieties were
still in the field, awaiting a little drying
out. They have since been planted and
are now ready for their winter's work.
A large number of the best varieties are
grown, both for the flowers and for rooted
cuttings, an important branch of the busi-
ness.

There are a half dozen or more houses
of chrysanthemums, chiefly early and mid-
season sorts, which can be marketed in
time for other crops to follow. All the
chrysanthemums were in fine condition.
Kept apparently on the dry side, they
were close- jointed, with foliage down to
the ground and all neatly disbudded, a
pretty sight. Mrs. Kalb, white, is the
earliest sort here. It was cut September
28. Glory of Pacific with its sports, Es-
telle, Polly Rose and Cremo, new, are im-
portant factors. Ivory on the front
benches, where there is little head room,
is here in quantity. Then there are Colo-
nel Appleton, white and yellow Bonnaf-
fon and several others. An evener,
healthier lot could not be desired. Mush-
rooms are grown and shipped to several
eastern markets. There are also some
violets.

After Mr. Conner had had a few words
about the details of the new house which
his company has furnished, and Mr.
Swayne had said a few kind words about
both the senior and junior partners of
William J. Baker & Co., who handle his
Philadelphia shipments, the visitors said
farewell.

Next came a call on Hicks & Son. All
the flowers cut on this thriving place
are shipped to the Leo Niessen Co. The
junior received his callers cordially and
showed them the carnations and mush-
rooms, both just starting nicely. Mr.
Hicks apologized for not having the
newer and fancy carnations. Anybody
who can grow Portia, McGowan, et al,
so well need not apologize for sticking
to them. Everybody can't. Show horses
are all right ; work horses are mighty use-
ful. Both McGowan and Portia looked
just ns well here today as ten years ago ;
that is something to be proud of, too.
A peep at the mushrooms, a word with
Mr, Hicks, Sr., and the Philadelphians
were off as the shadows lengthened *
catch the late afternoon train for home.
Success to Chester county and all its
florists.

Doylestown.

Charles Fox and Fred Ehret spent a
pleasant afternoon in the county seat of
Buck's county last week. They spent a

couple of hours with John F. Andre and
report his Brides, Maids and Beauties
in tip-top condition. They also visited
E. B. Darlington's, of Burpee & Co.,
who has seven houses devoted to cut
flowers and greens, and Nelson Snede-
ker, who grows roses and other flowers.
The stock on both these places gave
promise of good results.

Varioas Notes.

C. F. Edgar has resigned from the
firm of Charles F. Edgar & Co. The
business will be carried on with vigor
by E. C. Hayden, who is secretary and
treasurer, and William Muth, manager.
Mr. Hayden has been in the firm since
it was organized as C. A. Dunn & Co.
His connection with the new firm is a
guarantee of its financial responsibility.
Mr. Muth has had experience and is a
hustler who should make his mark. The
name of the new firm is the Philadelphia
Cut Flower Co.

An auction sale of foliage plants was
held on Wednesday and Thursday at
Forty-ninth and Market streets. John
P. Cleary sold stock of Eobert Craig &
Son, William K. Harris and John and
W. H. Westcott under the hammer. A
number of out-of-town buyers were pres-
ent.

L. E. Hancock, of Burlington, N. J.,
is sending fine Glory of Pacific and
Polly Eose chrysanthemums to the Leo
Niessen Co.

Casher and Geo, L, Pennock, of Lans-
downe, are sending exceptionally fine
Golden Gates to their brother, S. S. Pen-
nock.

Henry J, Faust, of Merion, is sending
fine Kaiserins and Adiantum Croweanum
to Fred Ehret.

Jasper Lorimer, of Croydon, is send-
ing giant daisies, both yellow and white,
to the Flower Market.

Paul Eichter, of the Henry F. Mich-
ell Co., states that John Kuhn, of Fifth
and Tabor streets, has a fine lot of field-
grown Dracsena indivisa.

A. J. Pennock has been sending some
heavy shipments of his royal strain of
valley to S. S. Pennock.

W. and Harry F. Evans, of Eowland-
ville, are sending four Cs, choice chrys-
anthemums, carnations, and Caiserins to
the Leo Niessen Co.

J. J. Habermehl's Sons have been
very busy with decorating lately,

Edward Rcid is justly proud of sev-
eral letters received from cities to which
his flowers have been shipped. One from
Charlotte, N, C, was very encouraging,
another from Charleston, S. C, also most
gratifying, Mr, Eeid is receiving fine
carnations, valley and chrysanthemums.

Eugene Bernheimer has been willing
to talk yellow chrysanthemums to his
chosen friends, a subject that very few
wholesalers have found very interesting
so far. He is also handling nice Polly
Eose and Glory of Pacific.

William J, Baker's chrysanthemums
sold so well on Saturday and Monday
that he didn't have to unpack them.
Just think of that!

Albert Woltemate read a paper on
hardy herbaceous plants before the Ger-
mantown Horticultural Society in Asso-
ciation Hall on Monday evening,

" Germantown 'g Eare and Notable
Plants" is the title of an attractive
little booklet just published by E. C.
Jellett, There are many good photo-
graphs, including a fine oak on Babbit

Lane, the late L. C. Baumann, Wake-
field, and George Eedles.

Nearly every man in town says he has
seen "the rare bug" described in last
week's EEfviEW, It is not curious that
some men should have seen, or should
have thought they had seen, this bug or
one of its kind, but that so many men
should think they had seen it and say
so is most remarkable. Phil,

NEW YORK.

The Market.

This week opens with a return to al-
most summer temperature. The effect
upon the market can easily be imagined.
This, with the flood of chrysanthemums,
makes a further postponement of the
fall season inevitable. ,

The last week's business was rather
more encouraging. The cooler weather,
with its effect upon the outdoor flowers,
made a shortage in supply that reflected
favorably upon the rose and carnation
demand. The retail windows are bril-
liant with chrysanthemums and autumn
leaves and a general appreciation of the
value of artistic decoration is evident in
every part of the city. Asters, dahlias,
and gladioli have d2parted. They cer-
tainly held the center of the stage be-
yond their allotted time and can well be
spared,

Eoses and carnations are coming in
splendidly and the best stock is gradu-
ally appreciating in price. Orchids are
again abundant but never in excess of
the demand. Violets have improved in
quality but the large shipments and the
light call for them keep the price for
the best down to 50 cents per 100.

Clab Meeting.

The monthly meeting of the New
York Florists 's Club was held on Mon-
day evening. President Traendly in the
chair and over forty members present.
The final report of the outing committee
was read, showing a satisfactory bal-
ance. A belated report of transporta-
tion was made by Chairman O'Mara,
who also read the elaborate reports upon
the visits of the investigating committee
at the establishments of the F. B. Pier-
son Co., of Tarrytown, A. L. Miller, of
Brooklyn, and John Scott, of Flatbush.
A discussion arose as to the granting of
a gold medal to Mr. Scott, the recom-
mendation of the committee granting the
silver medal as the highest possible award
of the club being finally adopted. A
silver medal was also given to F. E.
Pierson Co. for their sport of Piersoni.

Jos. Fenrich and J. H. Pepper were
elected members of the club and John
Scott proposed J. H. Kemper, Peter
Wagner, F. A, Lord, Eobert Wilson and
Herman Dreyer. One of the members
suggested an award of a gold medal to
Mr. Scott for so creditable a demonstra-
tion of practical interest in the club's
welfare.

Committees were appointed to draw
up suitable resolutions on the deaths of
three of the club's members, Dean Hole,
an honorary member; John Reickert
and J, B, Hyatt. The Vilmorin memori-
al in Paris was discussed by H, Beau-
lieu.

The exhibition of flowers was not as
extensive as expected, no gladioli or
asters being left. Mr. Beaulieu showed
dahlias. A new fern was shown by Bruce
Butterton, gardener for E. J. Berwin, of

Newport, an adiantum somewhat like
Groweanum, a further exhibit being
asked for by the committee and further
inspection before an expression of opin-
ion could be intelligently given. Wm.
Duckham's exhibit of new chrysanthe-
mums earned the thanks of the club.
The committee of award's especially
noted the earliness of the varieties and
their great commercial value. Elsie Ful-
ton is a French variety distributed in
England, very early, of good size, twelve
inches in diameter, extra heavy and of
rare purity of color. The immense Merst-
ham Yellow is from Australian seed
raised in England, was perfectly formed
and ready for exhibition as early as Oc-
tober 1. It has a perfect stem and foli-
age and the flowers exhibited were grown
in 6-inch pots. The stock of both varie-
ties will be distributed through C. H.
Totty, of Madison, N. J.

The second Monday in November will
be chrysanthemum night at the club
rooms and the largest exhibit of the year
should then be made. Special nights will
continue until the end of the year, at
one of which the ladies will again be
welcome. The average attendance for
1904 to date has been about seventy-five,
the best record in the club's history.

Various Notes.

William Siobrecht, of Astoria, whose
son is an electrician, is quite in the fash-
ion with his new automobile, rendered
safe by the possession of a chauffeur in
the family.

Much sympathy is felt for James Ham-
mond in the loss of his only daughter.
The funeral from St. Michael's church
last Wednesday was largely attended and
the floral offerings were numerous and
beautiful, many of his brother wholesal-
ers sending handsome remembrances.

Two very handsome windows of Scot-
tii fern grace the entrance to the com-
pleted orchid emporium of James Mc-
Manus.

C. W. Ward, of the Cottage Gardens
Co., Queens, is expected home from Eur-
ope on Saturday.

M. A. Bowe had some fine designs at
the reception to Mme. Schuman-Heink at
the opening of the Broadway Theater
last week. A star ten feet high of Amer-
ican Beauties on an easel, with a center
crown of Liberties and white carnations;
the German and American flags in scar-
let carnations, lily of the valley and vio-
lets, also a laurel wreath, were conspic-
uous.

A visit to the immense palm factory at
Carlton Hill, N. J., found the head of
the house, Julius Roehrs, Sr., back from
his European tour in splendid health and
quite enthusiastic over recent importa-
tions, especially the new standard pyra-
mid hays called Kaiser Kronen, a de-
cided novelty. Twenty-seven houses are
now devoted to orchids, of which Mr.
Roehrs has several hundred varieties.

One of Reed & Keller's latest novel-
ties is a small folding ball, for which a
great demand is already developed.

Jos. Millang, manager of the New
York Cut Flower Co., has been rearrang-
ing his floor space so that all offices are
now located at the sides and the whole
room is open, thus adding greatly to the
efficiency of the service.

Wm. Ghormley is installing a new and
much larger ice box fitted with electric
lights and divided so that different tem-
peratures are maintained in its separate
compartments. Mr. Ghormley 's health

is greatly improved and he is on deck
daily.

Young & Nugent 's new store is now
complete and ite decorations and facili-
ties are of the best and its window dis-
plays of orchids daily most attractive. A
setting of 300 cattleyaa last week was a
feature. Mr. Nugent 's father, John B.
Nugent, Sr., has recovered from a seri-
ous illness.

' ' Jack ' ' Gallatin, who was at one time
in the florists' business on Fifth avenue,
is now a full fledged actor in the Baron-
ess Fiddlesticks company.

Last week in Dard's eight-story apart-
ment house, 341 Madison avenue, the
ground floor of which is occupied by his
fine store, a gas explosion occurred that
threatened serious consequences for a
time.

Brooklyn's interest in floriculture
seems to be increasing if one may judge
by the number of new stores opening on
Fulton street. At 5901 Phillips & Fil-
chett have a very pretty place in the the-
ater section and a few blocks above, Rob-
ert G. Wilson, at the comer of Greene
avenue, has one of the largest and most
artistically decorated establishments in
the city. A new greenhouse is now being
constructed at the back and the mirror
effects, with birch bark trimmings cov-
ering the walls of the entire store, are
a credit to Mr. Wilson's taste and orig-
inality.

The annual exhibition of the American
Institue of New York, November 10 to
17, promises to be one of the greatest
ever seen in this city. . Great preparations
are in progress and a large interest is
developing, not only in this vicinity but
in many adjoining states. With no con-
flicting dates, it should land at the head
of the procession.

A live count from sunny Italy gives
tone to the force in on© of the wholesale
and retail stores on Twenty-eighth street.

Guttman's and Weber's new red car-
nation. No. 3 seedling, has touched 6
cents during the past week. The supply
is yet limited.

Geo. Cotsonas & Co. have moved to
their main store, 45 West Twenty-ninth
street, retaining their branch at 53 West
Twenty-eighth street. They report a
good trade and are much pleased with
their new quarters.

Bowling.

The preliminary meeting of the New
York Florists' Bowling Club took place
on Friday evening and the attendance
was quite encouraging. A permanent
place of meeting has not yet been se-
cured. The prospects for a large mem-
bership are good and the best possible
selection of alleys and evening satisfac-
tory to the majority will be made. The
scores last week were :

Bowlins at Flatbush.

Last Thursday evening was a gala
night at the Flatbush Bowling Club, the
members of the plant investigating com-
mittee joining the local bowlers and mak-
ing a hilarious night of it. The prelim-
inary dinner of the committee, with
champagne accompaniments, seemed to

have contrary effects upon its members,

NEW PLANTS.

When novelties in the plant line are
exhibited before the New York Florists'
Club a committee is appointed to visit
the place where the plant may be seen
growing before a final award is made.
The committee, consisting of P. O'Mara,
A. H. Langjahr, Chas. Lenker, W. H.
Siebrecht, John Dowsett, A. L. Miller
and John Birnie made the- following re-
ports at the club meeting October 10:

The Pierson Fern.

Pursuant to the request o( the P. K. Pierson
Co., of Tarry town, N. Y., the committee of
award visited the establishment of that firm
on September 19 to Inspect the stock of their
new fern, the initial exhibit of this having
been made at the June meeting of the club.
Six members of the committee were in attend-
ance, also the president, as ex-offlclo member.

The fern is as yet unnumed, so we cannot
designate it in this report except as a sport
from Nephrolepis Piersonl. The committee
made a thorough examination of all the stock,
both In pots and on the benches where it is
planted out. It is essentially different from its
parent. The fronds are shorter and broader, the
habit is denser and more compact, and the gen-
eral character of the plant is much superior
to it.

The average width of the fronds in 8-lneh
pans is nine to ten inches at the widest point;
the average length of the fronds being twenty-
two to twenty-four Inches. The number of
character fronds per pan varied from twenty-
two to twenty-four inches. The average num-
ber of pinnae per frond is forty-five. The
width of the individual pinna is three and one-
half Inches. The length from tip to tip is
four and one-half to five inches when fully
developed. The details given were noted from
plants which were about three months in the
pans.

The greatest distinctive feature of this new
fern are, first, the deeply cut formation of
the individual pinna and the manner In which
they are borne on the frond. Instead of being
placed so* that the edges are toward the sur-
face of the ground, as is usual with ferns,
and for the moet part with Nephrolepis Pier-
sonl. the pinnae on the new fern are so dis-
posed that the surface is parallel with the
ground surface when the fronds are erect. The
result is that the fronds are equally ornate,
whether viewed from the back or front, a very
valuable characteristic.

The character of this variety seems to be
well established, the tendency to reversion, al-
though present, being scarcely noticeable. After
carefully considering the variety the commit-
tee unanimously agreed that it was worthy of
the club's silver medal, and herewith recom-
mend that it be awarded.

The Scott Fern.

The committee of award visited the establish-
ment of John Scott, of Flatbush, N. Y., on
October 6, for the purpose of insi>ectlng the
stock of his new fern, Nephrolepis Scottii.
Seven members of the committee attended, also
the president and vice-president of the club.

The initial exhibit of this fern was made at
the rooms of the club at the November meet-
ing, 1903. The committee which examined
it nt that time was so favorably Impressed
by it that they unhesitatingly awarded it a
certificate of merit and did not ask to see It
growing. A request to examine the stock
was only recently sent to the club by the ex-
hibitor.

The committee made a thorough examination
of the stock, both In pots and on the bench,
and were highly pleased at Its condition and
character. It was growing In all sizes, from
plants In 4-Inch pots up to specimen plants in
tubs, and it was absolutely uniform in all
grades, the characteristics of the large speci-
men plants being evident in the smallest speci-
mens on the place. The most careful exam-
ination failed to discover any tendency what-
ever toward reversion, and it seems as If the
fharnctpr of the plant is absolutely and indeli-
bly fixed. It Is In essence a condensed form

tots

of the Boston fern with valuable charaeteris-
tlcs added which are not evident in the parent.
The committee took one plant In an 8-lnch pot
and found by actual count that there were 200
fronds on It, not counting the undeveloped and
small ones which were In the center of the
plant. The fronds on the plant In question av-
eraged about twenty Inches long and two
Inches wide at the widest point, so that the
pinnae are very closely set, so that they over-
lap, making a more finished frond than the
parent. The plant in question had a spread
of three feet. Plants In 4-lnch pots showed
a spread of eighteen inches and a height of ten
to twelve Inches.

The committee was unanimously of the opin-
ion that It is a most valuable lntroductK)n;
that It win become a plant for the florists to
grow universally. It has a crlspness and hard-
ness about It which is superior to the parent,
jind is one of its very valuable characteristics.
It propagates very freely and because of the
fact that its character Is established In the
smallest size it should find ready sale in all
grades. After a thorough examination the com-
mittee unanimously agreed that it was worthy
of the highest award by the club, and there-
fore v^ted that it be awarded the silver fbedal
of the club, and herewith record same for your
approval.

The Miller Dahlia.

The committee of award visited the estab-
lishment of A. L. Miller, Jamaica, N. Y., on
September 28, on request of that gentleman,
to inspect his stock of a white dahlia which
he exhibited at the September meeting of the
club. Pour members of the committee were
present. The committee was Informed by the
exhibitor that the variety was imported from
Germany under the name of Kaiserln Augusta
Victoria. The committee, under the rules, is
not empowered to grant certificates of award
or medals to any but new varieties, that is,
varieties not yet in commerce. The members
of the committee were pleased to see the va-
riety growing and were unanimously of the
opinion that it is a very valuable sort. It
Is a decorative dahlia of the purest white,
size four to four and one-half Inches in diam-
eter, double, showing the center when fully
expanded. The plant grows three to three
and one-half feet high, sturdy, compact habit,
<loes not require staking. The profusion of
bloom is remarkable, the rows being one mass
of flowers, far more per plant than any other
sort in the field. It is unquestionably a valua-
ble addition to the race and where white sum-
mer flowers are wanted will prove of s^eat
value. •

COLUMBUS, OHIO.

A meeting of the Columbus Florists'

Club was held October 4. The election of

oflScers resulted: President, Sherman

Stephans; secretary, James McKeller;

treasurer, Gus Drobisch.

The committee of three, composed of
Sherman Stephans, James McKeller and
Albert Knopf, was instructed to make
all arrangements necessary for an exhibi-
tion of chrysanthemums to be held in
November, 1905. It was suggested that
arrangements be made with some one of
the large charitable institutions of the
city for its aid in the exhibition, each
organization to take half the profits.
School children will be given plants to be
grown on fox exhibition. The Civic Im-
provement Society came in for com-
mendation.

BOSTON.

The Market.

The market took on something like an
old-time boom during the past week, the
supply not being equal to the demand in
some of the staples. An increasing quan-
tity of stock is coming in but all good
material is eagerly snapped up. Ameri-
can Beauties have brought $5 per dozen
for the best. The quality of all roses
is much improved. Best Brides and
Maids have sold readily at $10. W. H.
Elliott, Waban Conservatories and one
or two other growers are sending in
some grand Kaiserins and Carnots with
splendid stems. These sell well. Carna-
tions have advanced considerably, extra
quality of Fair Maid, Enchantress and
one or two other sorts going as high as
$6. Quality of these now leaves little
to be desired.

Chrysanthemums are not yet very

plentiful. Most growers report their
flowers a little later than usual. In ad-
dition to Fitzwygram, Bergmann and
Girard several other sorts have ap-
peared, including Monrovia, Glory of
Pacific, Polly Bose, Miss Alice Byron,
a very useful white; Ethel Fitzroy and
Merry Monarch.

Violets improve in size and color as
well as in quantity. All are yet Princess
of Wales, although a few doubles are
seen around the stores, looking very mis-
erable alongside the singles. Lily of the
valley holds former prices. A few tube-
roses still come in, while new crop sweet

peas have arrived. Asparagus, smilax
and adiantum show a slightly hardening
tendency.

Various Notes.

Hitchings & Co., 819 Tremont build-
ing, Boston, have recently closed con-
tracts to build the following green-
houses: Miss Helen Holmes, Kingston,
Mass., one house; G. S. Scott, Belmead,
Newport, greenhouse and workroom;
G. F. Falford, Brockville, Ont., one
house; J. W. Gibbs, Brookline, Mass.,
conservatory; G. N. L. Abbott, Concord,
Mass., one house; S. W. Eobbins, Weth-
ersfield. Conn., one house.

The Boston Flower Mission, which con-
cluded its season's labors on October 7,
distributed over 30,000 bouquets among
the poor and sick of the city during the
five months it was in active operation.
The work this excellent body of lady
workers performs each year helps to
brighten many a poor home.

Intending exhibitors can obtain copies
of the schedule of the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society, with the list of
the society's premiums for the coming
chrysanthemum show from the secretary,
W. P. Eich, 300 Massachusetts avenue,
Boston. A list of special prizes is also
issued. The full prize list of the society
for the spring show of 1905, when the
American Rose Society meets in Boston,
may also be had upon application.

Weddings, funerals and receptions to
the delegates of the International Peace
Congress and the Episcopal Triennial
Convention, in which latter the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury was the most
prominent figure, have helped to make a
first-class market of late and prices are
very much better than a year ago.

The Gardeners' and Florists' Club
will assist in entertaining visiting mem-

bers of the C. S. A. next month. All in-
dications point to a splendid show. Some
superb plants will be shown, while the
prospects of entries for cut flowers from
this section were never better. Boston
means to eclipse the New York show of
1903.

No New England fair equals that an-
nually given at Brockton. It is the
Mecca for lovers of horse flesh and the
triumphs of agriculture. Horticulture
was this year but indifferently represent-
ed. Early frosts had destroyed nearly
all dahlias, which usually make a star
feature. Exhibits of these were made
by F. L. Tinkham and A. G. Tinkham,
of Brockton, and H. A. Jahn and A. C.
Church, of New Bedford. Plants were
not largely shown, M. Moir having the
best display. In designs C. A. Reed took
first and fourth, M. Moir second and
Mrs. A. Younger third. A miserable pit-
tance of less than $100 was this year
allotted to plants and flowers, while
horse flesh had over $25,000. In spite
of wet weather on the principal day over
120,000 persons paid admission on the
five days the fair was open, gate re-
ceipts alone exceeding $40,000.

The second cold snap of the season
came on October 7, temperature falling
to from 16 to 20 degrees above zero.
Any remaining outdoor flowers in warm
locations were wiped out.

The next meeting of the Gardeners'
and Florists' Club occurs on Tuesday,
October 18. As there will be much im-
portant business, all members are urged
to attend.

J. W. Foote's new pink seedling car-
nation is commanding top prices at the
new market. Robert Montgomery's roses
at the same stand are extra fine.

B. W, Gilmore, who died at North
Easton on October 9, aged 76 years, was
at one time a very successful exhibitor
of stove plants and orchids at the Bos-
ton shows. A dozen years ago he had
the best masdevallias we have seen in
America. He was also especially suc-
cessful in the culture of odontoglossums
and miltonias. Mr. Gilmore was a life
member of the Massachusetts Horticul-
tural Society. He leaves a widow, one
daughter and four sons.

Not the least pleasing feature of the
coming chryanthemum show will be a
chrysanthemum dinner tendered by the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society to
the visiting members of the C. S. A. The
committee of arrangements of the society
has this matter in charge.

Warren W. Rawson, of Arlington, eas-
ily defeated his opponent in the prelim-
inary contest in the third Massachusetts
district, pulling nearly twice as many
votes. His election would seem to be
practically certain.

CHICAGO.

The Market

The weather for the past week has been
unseasonably warm, the daily tempera-
ture from 15 to 20 degrees above the nor-
mal. The result has been that all stock
has been forced along at a very rapid
pace and accumulations have become bur-
densome in the wholesale houses. The
demand is holding up to previous re-
ports, but is not suflScient to consume the
receipts in any line.

The Beauty growers are nearly all cut-
ting first-class stock in all lengths of
stem, although few shorts are seen. The

best grade goes as high as $3 to $4 per
dozen, but averages are not nearly so
good as a week ago. There are plenty
of good Brides, Maids, Liberty and
Chatenay for all needs, also some extra
good Kaiserin. Some of the extra select
are bringing above quoted rates, but
there is a large proportion of each day's
receipts which are very near rubbish and
must be sold in quantity at prices to
bring down the average to a very low
figure.

Carnations seem to be holding their
own better than any other flower. Re-
ceipts are large, but some days demand is
active and the stock is cleaned out to bet-
ter results than the rest of the staples.

Chrysanthemums are coming in heav-
ily and the wholesalers find it difScult
to move them all. The result is that
prices on good stock are going down con-
siderably faster than is usual at the open-
ing of the season.

There are large quantities of Campbell
violets and it is almost impossible to
move them. The retailers say that they
can be used only in funeral work and
average returns to the growers are in
keeping with the very poor results ob-
tained last year. Singles do only a little
better. New York violets again have the
call.

The absence of frost has resulted in
some very fine dahlias and these are do-
ing as well as could be expected with the
market so heavily burdened with other
material. There are also large quantities
of cosmos of very fine quality, which is
a good seller for decorations, although
prices must necessarily be low. The fall
openings have made a very good demand
for long strings of asparagus and the
fall weddings are calling for smilax,
which is very plentiful.

Tuesday was cool and wet, a very dull
day. The weather man predicts cold
weather, which will shorten receipts and
stiffen prices.

Flower Show Matters.
There was a meeting of the executive
committee of the Horticultural Society
and the Chicago Florists' Club at the
Union Saturday evening, at which flower
show matters were talked over and a
number of committees appointed to fur-
ther the work. A successful exhibition
November 15 to 19 now seems assured.
It was announced that the following slate i

of officers had been determined upon for
the Horticultural Society: President,
Edward G. Uihlein; chairman finance
committee, Charles A. Hutchinson; vice-
presidents, H. G. Selfridge and Ernst
Wienhoeber; secretary and treasurer,
Willis N. Budd. These officers were duly
elected at a meeting of the Horticultural
Society at the Auditorium on Tuesday
afternoon.

There is much renewed discussion for
a permanent horticultural hall and a pos-
sibility that it may be eventually attained
on the lake front.

Gu-oation G>nventioiu

The Florists' Club will hold its regu-
lar meeting this evening and President
Rudd will announce the general commit-
tee on entertainment of the Carnation
Society, as follows: J. C. Vaughan, P.
J. Hauswirth and Leonard Kill. They
have authority to appoint all necessary
sub-committees. The management of the
exhibition will probably be placed in the
hands of Mr, Hauswirth by the officers
of the Carnation Society.

Various Notes.

The Geo. Wittbold Co. has had a busy
season. At their city establishment they
have built a large new house for decorat-
ive plants, that end of their business
having grown to large proportions. They
have also rebuilt their Buckingham
placs store and put it in first-class shape.
They recently purchased a battery of
five steam boilers taken from the Wo-
man's Temple and are installing two at
Edgebrook and two at the city place.
Not only is retail trade good with them,
but Louis Wittbold says that the whole-
sale plant business for the past three
months has been the largest in the his-
tory of the concern. Next year they pro-
pose to rebuild another large section of
the city range.

E. S. Thompson, of South Haven,
Mich., is sending J. A. Budlong a large
cut of very fine dahlias. The season has
besn most favorable on the Michigan
shore and Mr. Thompson says that not
in years has he had such good results.

The Kennicott Bros. Co. is receiving
white orchids which are in good demand
for choice wedding and funeral work.

Frank Garland has given up his city
wholesale store and M. Winandy now is
the only occupant of roo'm 218, 52 Wa- |

bash avenue. Mr. Garland's crops are
going to Percy Jones in the Growers'
Market.

Weiland & Risch have been expending
a considerabl3 sum of money in building
sewers to take care of the water at their
boiler rooms. Quicksand has been giv-
ing them a great deal of trouble.

E. F. Winterson Co. is making a spe-
cialty of autumn foliage, which the re-
tailers are using in window decorations
with chrysanthemums. They have a soft
ilex, well berried, which is very useful.
Mr. Winterson spent Sunday at Dubuque
and Des Moines.

Vaughan & Sperry are receiving large
quantities of chrysanthemums and vio-
lets from Grand Rapids. The mums have
sold well but buyers have to be coaxed
to take violets.

Peter Reinberg is erecting a fine new
residence adjoining his present home on
Robey street. The removal of two green-
houses was necessary to make room.

Thomas Allen, out Bowmanville way,
is not a large grower in comparison to
the establishments of some of his neigh-
bors, but there is none of them who can
give him points on growing Beauties.
He is cutting practically no short stems
and a great many which are five feet
long, with buds in proportion. J. A.
Budlong sells his cut.

Edgar Sanders was 78 years of age
on Monday. His health is generally
good, although he does not go far from
the house.

Lubliner & Trinz have abandoned
their place on Jackson boulevard. Graff
& Trinz have opened a store at 90 Wash-
ington street.

Mrs. Fred Stollery has returned from
a visit of several weeks with relatives in
California.

Singler Bros, are building a new brick
stack to take the place of the one de-
stroyed by the big storm last spring.

Mr. Jahn, of New York, imported by
O. J. Friedman, has resigned, having
married Miss Butler, formerly Fried-
man's right hand man and mow in
business for herself on Dearborn street.
W. E. Lynch, of E. H. Hunt's, is on
a trip to eastern sources of supply.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

The past week the wholesale houses
had plenty of cut stock for all demands.
The warm weather combined with dull
trade was responsible for this big in-
crease and small glut. We need much
cooler weather to stimulate retail activity
in the cut flower trade. Of course, there
is a big lot of decorating going on every
day about town and at the World 's Fair,
which keeps some of the boys busy, es-

pecially those who make a specialty of
that kind of work.

We are pleased to note more activity at
the wholesale house and the store men are
buying more than usual. There is a good
demand for all kinds of roses, especially
Beauties with medium stems, which seem
quite plentiful at $1 and $2 per dozen.
Extra long-stemmed Beauties are also
good sellers but scarce at $4 per dozen.
Carnations are in strong demand and
first-class blooms are being offered. Fan-
cy stock is now up to $2 per 100, fair
stock $1.50 and common $1 per 100, En-
chantress is coming in fine and so is Bos-
ton Market. In pink Joost is best. Law-
son is good in flower but very short in
stem.

Chrysanthemum blooms are somewhat
late, still a few are coming in every day,
but not near enough to supply the wants.
The best of these brought $3 per dozen,
small white $1 and $2 per dozen. By the
end of this week the market will be in
good supply of all varieties. Cosmos now
brightens the show windows of the flor-
ists, though the demand is not very brisk.
The price is 25 and 35 cents per 100. Lily
of the valley is in good supply at $3 and
$4 per 100. Violets are coming in more
plentifully every day, but of poor qual-
ity at 25 and 35 cents per 100. Tuberose
stalks are still selling well at 3 and 4
cents. Some very fine pink and yellow
dahlias are in the market at $1 and $2
per 100. There are plenty of greens.

Various Notes.

We had with us the past week Harry
May and sister, son and daughter of John
N. May, of Summit, N. J. They will re-
main ten days and then visit Chicago. Mr.
and Mrs. Peter Reinberg were down for
Chicago Day at the World's Fair. J. D.
Preussner, of Galveston, Texas, and C. H.
Foreman, of Louisiana, Mo., also were
recent visitors. Paul Berkowitz, of H.
Bayersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia, spent
a week here and left Sunday for Pitts-
burg, taking with him a well filled order
book.

Jabes Gadd, formerly with C. Young
& Sons Co., is now with Theo. Miller, on
Delmjir boulevard.

Walter Sanders, son of C. C. Sanders,
left last week for the west. Walter wants
to see what the great west has in store
for the young man. He has the best
wishes of the trade, wherever he lands.

J. F. Ammann, of Edwardsville, E. W.
Guy, of Belleville, and C. A. Kuehn, of
St. Louis, visited the Springfield, 111.,
fair a week ago. All made friendly calls
on the trade at that place.

The Louisiana Purchase Exposition
Co, report that they will not restore For-
est Park at the close of the exposition,
but will improve it to make it one of the
finest pleasure grounds in the world. This
decision was reached at a meeting of the
directors and the city officials held last
week.

Horticultural Day at the World 's Fair
last Tussday attracted a great crowd.
The big building was decorated in grand
style. It was estimated that about 1,000
barrels of apples were given away. Mr.
Hadkinson and Chief Taylor are greatly
pleased at the reception given their de-
partment by the general public.

Henry G. Berning, who spent a week
at Oakville, III., taking baths at this fa-
mous resort, has returned much improved
in health.

A. Stonewall Tesson, brother of Robt.
F. Tesson, died Saturday morning of
heart failure. The funeral took place Sun-
day afternoon from the family residence
in Clayton. Robert has the sympathy of
his fallow craftsmen in the trade.

Fred Dorner, Jr., and Mrs. Dorner of
Lafayette, Ind., have been taking in the
World's Fair. Arthur Cowee, of Ber-
lin, X. Y., is still here but will return
home next week, having finished up his
work at the World's Fair.

Bowling.

The florists continued their bowling
on Monday night, with no handicaps.
Good hard work through the winter
should put them in good trim for the
annual contest at Washington.

The Market

Business during the past week was good
in spots only. Mums are fast becoming
the flower of the day. Thej are coming
by the hundreds, but as yet there are no
fancy ones and $2 per dozen is the top
price. The varieties to bring this price
were Estelle, which is very fine this
year, and Omega, a first-class yellow,
which holds up well and appears to be
a very good sort for early. There are
hundreds of Bergmann at $6 to $12.50 per
100. The coming week will see mums
in great abundance and from present
prospects there will be a very good mar-
ket tor them.

Carnations are just a trifle more plen-
tiful and quality is good; $3 is obtained
for the best, with $1 the lowest figure.
Beauties are scarce. This is especially
true of long-stemmed ones. Some very
good Kaiserin are seen and a few first-
data Brides and Maids, but outside of
that the majority of the stock is medium
and short-stemmed. Outdoor stock is
about over. Lilies and valley are not
very plentiful and sell well. Violets can
be had at your own figures.

Club Meeting.

The monthly meeting of the Florists'
Society was held Saturday evening and,
while the attendance was not larg^, a
very pleasant time was passed. The
principal business was the adoption of
a schedule for our flower shows. The
first one will be a chrysanthemum show
in the club rooms on Saturday afternoon
and evening, November 12. Prizes are
offered as follows: Best vase white
mums, twelve blooms to vase, first, .$6;
second, $4; third, $3. Pink and yellow,
same, each. Best vase twenty-five Bon-
naff on, first, $10; second, $8; third, $6.
Best general display, $10. Our mum
shows in the past have always been very
successful and a fine exhibition is looked
forward to. All florists and private gar-
deners are invited to take part. All per-
sons not members of the society or sub-
scribers to the exhibition fund must pay
$1 at each show for privilege of entry
for prizes.

An invitation was read from the E. G.
HiJl Co., of Richmond, Ind., for the flor-
ists of this city to visit that firm 's large
plant the latter part of this month. It
was accepted with thanks and a commit-
tee consisting of J. W. Rodgers and C.
J. Ohmer was appointed to look after
the details. The date of the trip will
be announced next week.

Variotis Notes.

E. G. Hill was in the city Saturday
and brought with him some blooms of
his new white early mum, Clementine
Touset, to be passed upon by the Chrys-
anthemum Society committee of this city.
The variety was a great surprise to all
who saw it, being so far ahead of all
other early varieties we have ever seen.
It might be described as an early Chad-
wick, as it greatly resembles this vari-
ety. The color is white with a faint
cream tint in the center till fully devel-
oped. It ranks in size with the largest,
and form, foliage and stem are first-
class. Altogether it will make a com-
mercial variety of the first order. Mr.
Hill said it was a medium grower, very
easily managed and was ready to cut
from October 8 to 12.

George Murphy has just completed a
new set of piping for his greenhouses.
He wants to be sure of the required tem-
perature during the coming winter. He
has a large bench of Estelle mums which
will be ready to cut soon. There are
five to seven blooms to a plant and are
V fine sight, as they made a very even
growth.

Fred Gear had the Smith-Kasson open-
ing, supplying over 10,000 roses, besides
many plants.

W. K. Partridge opened his Fourth
street store Saturday. An orchestra en-
tertained the large crowd and the ladies
received floral souvenirs. The store is
modern in every detail and was beauti-
fully decorated for the opening. The
large show windows offered a liberal
opportunity for tasty dressing, which
was taken advantage of. Mr. Partridge
deserves the best of success for his en-
terprise and has the good wishes of the
trade.

tions of the New Jersey Floricultural
Society was observed in an appropriate
manner on October 7. Short addresses
were made by the charter members pres-
ent and by Arthur Herrington and Chas.
H. Totty, among the visitors. The floral
and vegetables exhibits were choice and
filled the tables in the center of the hall,
while the decorations of palms and ferns
were from the collections of John Cros-
by Brown and William Bunkle. One
specimen adiantum four feet across re-
ceived 95 points at the hands of the
judges.

Interest centered, however, in the riv-
al display of orchids from Henry Graves
and William Barr and the Cattleya labi-
ata of Edwin Thomas and Arthur Bod-
well were seen side by side. There were
also several other interesting displays.

TROUBLE VITH CIRCULATION.

We have six houses running east and
west from a central boiler shed, three on
each side. The houses are 125 feet long
attached and each contains two four-foot
benches and three walks. The side walls
are eight feet high and the houses are
well built. Each house has two flows,
all 3-inch except those on the south side
of the middle houses, which is 2% -inch.
The returns are all 1^-inch, twelve un-
der the benches in each south house, nine
under the benches in each of the middle
houses, five under the south bench and
six on the north wall in each north
hoTise. The flows are close to the gutters.
The main from the boilers is 6-inch until
it passes the north house, 5-inch to the
middle house, 4^-inch to the next flow
and 3-inch to the last one. The. whole
system has a fall of one inch to twelve
feet. The return at the boilers is a 6-
inch and has four feet drop. The ex-
pansion tank is over the boilers, where,
also, is the highest point in the flow.
We use two eight-section cast iron boil-
ers each with grate 40x38 inches and
352 square feet of fire surface. There
appears to be a sluggish circulation
through the entire system, although all
ooilg heat up alike. Best gate valves

with full openings are used. We must
have 60 degrees when it is 20 degrees be-
low zero outside. Can you suggest a
remedy for the difficulty? H. K.

The system seems to be well arranged
and the piping should be ample to main-
tain the temperature desired with a quick
return of the water to the boilers. The
only point which occurs to me as a draw-
back is the length of the flow and returns
used. When the flow and return pipes
exceed 100 feet in length, hot water on
the gravity system is seldom altogether
satisfactory. If the expansion tank
were to be elevated several feet above
the highest point in the heating system
it would undoubtedly somewhat hasten
the flow df water and would at the
same time somewhat increase the tem-
perature of the water as it leaves the
boiler by placing the system under a
higher pressure. If the boilers are set
so as to have a good draft and good
fuel is used they should be amply large
to provide the desired temperature.

I am inclined to believe that by mak-
ing the most distant pointj the highest
point in the system, a slightly increased
efficiency would be obtained but whether
or not the added eflBciency would repay
the expense of the modification is a
question I cannot answer. I am inclined
to think it would not.

The one alternative which suggests
itself in this connection is that of plac-
ing a circulating pump in the returns
near the boiler and forcing the water
through the system at the desired rate,
depending upon the outside temperature.

EvEEETT B. Claek, Milford, Conn., is

The previous record for a late harvest
of onion sets has been beaten by a Chi-
cago grower who started in to finish
up his last ten-acre patch October 10.

At Chicago onion set orders for af-
ter January delivery are being booked
now at $2.25 for red and yellow and
$2.50 for white, for a thirty-two-pound
bushel.

INDIANAPOUS, Ind.— Last week Hunt-
ington & Page gave a clam bake to the
employes of their onion set farms, in
celebration of the end of a harvest that
had been unusually prolonged.

European aster seed crops have suf-
fered severely all season but the aater
has been taken up by many widely scat-
tered growers, so that adequate supplies
for the normal requirements are ex-
pected.

J. M. Thorbuen & Co., New York,
will this fall distribute a new pofcito,
Noroton Beauty, said to be sixteen days
earlier than Early Rose and a heavy
producer. They regard this as their
most important introduction in this line.

Visited Chicago.— ^J. Simmers and
Mrs. Simmers, of Toronto, Can., retum-
from the St. Louis exposition; J. G.
Purvis, representing Wm. Rennie, To-
ronto, on his way to Winnipeg, Manitoba,
to open a branch distributing house at
that point.

Very discouraging reports are being
received from the bean growing sec-
tions. The damp weather will not per-
mit of threshing, and it is feared that
a continuation of it will mold the
beana in the stacks and spoil a large pro-
portion of them.

The directors of the Wholesale Seeds-
men's League held the regular October
meeting at New York last T^riday. Vari-
ous matters of trade interest were dis-
cussed and crop conditions canvassed.
It is yet too early to fix prices on more
than a few articles.

Reliable estimates of the probable
harvest of sweet corn and cucumber seed
are not likely to be had for some time
to come. The fact that there has been
plenty of corn fit for canning purposes
and practically more than enough pick-
les for the saJting vats does not insure
either a good crop of com seed nor any
sort of a crop of cucumber seed.

CoNTiNENT.u. Europe has suffered a
visitation of vermin which has done much
damage to all crops this season.

Philippe de Vilmobin, who has been
serving on the international jury of
awards at St. Louis, has returned to
Paris.

The government estimate of the year's
corn crop is 2,315,000,000 bushels, a loss
of 19,000,000 bushels from the Septem-
ber estimate.

QuEDLiNBUKG growers had an average
crop of spinach, but demand has been
active, so that stocks are largely dis-
tributed and prices strong.

CHICAGO ONION SET CROP.

The onion set crop at Chicago, now
that the harvest is completed, pans out
about sixty per cent of what the seed
sown was expected to produce. The sea-
son began wrong, bad spring weather
put the ground in poor shape for seed-
ing and the cold weather that prevailed
throughout the growing period kept the
crop back. On sandy ground, where nat-
urally crops mature early, the effect of
the unseasonable weather was not so
noticeable and the seed sown in this sort
of land pushed along and made a fairly
satisfactory crop of sets. The greater
portion of the seed planted for sets,
however, went into clay soil, where good
growing weather is needed during June
and the first half of July to mature a
good crop of sets. This year unseason-
able weather strung along throughout
June and July, with rains at the wrong
time, giving a second growth to at least
a third of the crop, thereby lessening it
just that much. The "evergreen" onion
field is something that no onion grower
likes. It makes the harvest more costly,
shortens the crop and hurts the quality.
A few of the Chicago growers experi-
enced it this year, as did growers at oth-
er points. With a short set crop at Chi-
cago and the dropping out of growers
at points that formerly cut a figure as
onion set sections, there is not likely to
be any recession from prices now ruling.

MAILING CATALOGUES.

Apropos of an item in the Review ot
October 6 I beg to say that we have not
found the new postoffice regulations in re-
gard to mailing catalogues in bulk unrea-
sonable except in one particular ; that we
secured permit No. 2, having made ap-

plication in July; that we have had the
electrotype piade, have placed an order
with the paper bag manufacturers, who
have the electro ere this and probably
have it on the press. The Cleveland post-
office received advices on October 3 and
we received our permit October 8. That
hardly seems as though the obstacles were
insurmountable.

It is reasonable that the certain words
should be printed on the wrappers and
that they should come within certain lim-
itations as to size, the letters between
10-point and 24-point and the figure be-
tween 14-point and 36-point. It is rea-
sonable also that the number at a time,
2,000. at least, should be prescribed.

It does seem unreasonable, however,
that mail to Canada and Mexico must be
sent in the usual way, and it will certain-
ly add labor to have catalogues presented
at the postoffice in packages of equal
number that can be easily counted, but
the American Seed Trade Association
only asked that these regulations apply
to third-class matter and they apply to
fourth-class as well.

We believe that when the new order is
understood everyone will realize that we
have gained a long step toward second-
class classification of catalogues and one
or two other desirable things along these
lines. C. E. Kendel, Sec'y.

MUSHROOMS.

Mushrooms are by no means fastidious
regarding the style or construction of
the house nor the location in which they
are grown. We have seen them grown
successfully under greenhouse benches,
in an empty corner of a coal cellar, in
a root cellar and even in a disused ice
house with just as little trouble as iu an
up-to-date mushroom house. In any or
all of these situations the proper condi-
tions for their development may be pro-
vided. These conditions comprise dark-
ness, a moist atmosphere, a temperature
of not less than 50 degrees and some
means of ventilation when necessary.

It is, however, important that the situ-
ation be such that the fluctuations of the
outdoor temperature will have little if
any effect on the temperature inside the
house. In this respect a frost-proof cel-
lar is about as good as anything. While
the temperature may be maintained by
fire heat, if hard firing has to be resorted
to, the drying influence on the beds is
detrimental to the development of the
crop and may necessitate the application
of water to the beds, which should, if
possible, be avoided. If conditions are
provided so that the natural moisture of
the bed can be maintained, that
will be suflicient for the best develop-
ment of the crop. Where it is intended
to go into mushroom culture to any ex-
tent it vrill pay, however, to have a prop-
erly constructed house and in the mak-
ing of such the above points should be
taken into consideration.

Regarding the preparation of the mate-
rial for making up the bed, in my notes
of last year I tried to cover the matter
pretty fully, and it seems like going over
the Kame ground again, but for the ben-
efit of beginners or others who may be
looking for information on this point I
will here give my ideas briefly. Instead
of procuring fresh manure and keeping
it turned frequently for eight or ten
days until the heat is pretty well worked
out, the custom now is to mix the fresh
manure with soil or old rotted manure,
or both, about one-half fresh manure
and the other half old manure and soil
in proportions of about two-thirds old
manure to one of soil. After the flrst
mushroom beds are past bearing the old
material can be conveniently used for
mixing with the fresh manure. But if
soil has been employed in the first mix-
ture, the additional soil used for cover-
ing the bed should "be partly removed be-
fore the bed is disturbed to avoid getting
too much soil in the mixture, which would
render it too heavy. The great advantage
of mixing the fresh manure with what
might be called cooling material is that
violent heating is avoided and a large
percentage of the ammonia retained.

The best depth of bed is twelve inches.
A bed of this depth is less liable to dry
out and will continue to bear longer than
one of eight or nine inches, which depth
is sometimes recommended as best. In
niaking the bed the material should be
packed firmly and before the spawn is in-
troduced the temperature of the bed
(which will probably rise to over 100 de-
grees) should be allowed to fall to about
90 degrees. It is very important that
the spawn be fresh to insure its running
freely. Pieces about two inches square

Ehould be inserted in holes about three
inches deep and five inches apart, the
holes being again filled up to the level of
the bed. In a week or ten days, when
the temperature of the bed has fallen
to about 75 degrees, the bed should be
covered with soil to a depth of about two
inches. This soil should be beaten down
with the back of a spade so as to pre-
sent a level surface, but not beaten too
hard, especially if rather damp. After
this covering the bed may rise in tem-
perature, but after it has again dropped
below 75 degrees a covering of clean
straw should be given to help conserve
both heat and moisture.

For the first week or ten days the tem-
perature should be kept in the neighbor-
hooc". of 70 degrees to insure the free
diffusion of the spawn, but after that it
should gradually recede until, when it
comes into bearing, it should be only
slightly above that of the atmosphere of
the house. The best temperature for the
house to be kept is not under 50 or
above 55 degrees. If run much higher
the quality of the product is apt to be
poor. After the mushrooms begin to ap-
pear, which, under suitable conditions,
should be in from six to seven weeks, the
straw should be removed from the beds.
This removal is necessary not only to
allow freedom to gather the crop but
also to avert damping off, which some-
times takes place if the surface of the
bed is kept too damp. The length of
time that the bed will continue to bear
varies according to the quality or mois-
ture conserving properties of the mate-
rial used. But where a continuous sup-
ply is desired fresh beds should be made
up at intervals of about three weeks.
After the first crop is over, by giving a
good watering with tepid water and cov-
ering over with an inch of fresh soil, a
good second crop can often be had, but
as this cannot be relied upon, where fresh
material can conveniently be procured,
it is better to make up a fresh bed rather
than depend upon procuring a second
crop from the old. one.

CUCUMBERS UNDER GLASS.

An excellent treatise on this subject
is published by Mr. Fabius, Redlands
Nursery, Emsworth, Hants. To be a suc-
cessful cucumber grower, says the au-
thor, all depends upon the man ; no
amount of advice, instruction, or assist-
ance can be of any use in the absence of
that one condition. The publication of
this little book might therefore seem su-
perfluous; but it is really far from being
so, and the most severely practical man
will derive many a hint from these pages.
The whole routine of cultivation, from the
sowing of the seed to the cutting of the
fruit, is clearly expounded, and the ques-
tions relating to soil, heating, and other
essentials are fully entered into. Hy-
giene and preventive measures are most
important in cucumber growing, for if
the soil contains eel-worms, or fungous
spores are introduced with manure, the
cultural conditions which suit the cu-
cumber also favor the fungi. The soil
should be sterilized by steam if possible;
if not, by stacking the loam in layers
with gas-lime intervening, and keeping
it at least twelve months before using it.
The close, stuffy atmosphere of a cucum-
ber house is most favorable for the
growth of fungous molds of all kinds;
the importance of free ventilation is thus

emphasized. Overcrowding the plants of
course favors the spread of the fungus.
The maintenance of an even temperature
is also of primary importance, and the
watering should be most carefully at-
tended to. Think first, and water after-
wards, is Mr. Fabius' advice, and excel-
lent it is. Indeed, we have rarely seen
a book in which science (that is, knowl-
edge derived from careful observation)
has been more judiciously applied to
practice. If all ' 'book-knowledge ' ' were
of this kind, we should not hear much
about the uselessness of book-learning. —

FROM OUR ENGLISH EXCHANGES.

The Gardeners' Magazine.

The high position to which horticul-
ture has attained could not have been
better attested than by the recent open-
ing by the King and Queen of the new
hall of the Royal Horticultural Society
and the character of the assemblage
which was privileged to witness it. After
many vicissitudes the germ of that soci-
ety, originating in the brain of its
founder a century ago,has developed into
a magnificent organization universally
recognized as fully competent to deal
with the varied phases and interests of
horticulture as in the process of evolu-
tion they present themselves.

Every now and then some corre-
spondent sends us specimens of glox-
inias with a double bloom, a supplemen-
tary corolla emerging from the outer
surface of the first. The condition is
figured in Vegetable Teratology, page
451, and at the time of the publication
of that volume the condition was so
"fixed" that a "strain" of such flow-
ers was produced and was offered in
commerce. Since that time the strain
has died out, save for the occasional oc-
currence of specimens such as we have
alluded to. Messrs. Parsons, of Swan-
sea, now send us pure white flowers of
this character, which they tell us are re-
produced from seed, and come very true
and regular. No doubt by continued se-
lection improvements will be effected.

Fort Smith, Ark. — The second an-
nual flower show by the lady managers

vember 3 to 5, with A. A. Pantet man-
ager. Last year's show was a great suc-
cess and a liberal premium list has been
issued.

There will be large plantings of June
budded peach trees in the south again
this fall.

Thomas J. Dwyee, Cornwall, N. Y.,
died October 4 of Bright 's disease. He
was 49 years of age and had spent his
lifetime in the nursery business, his
name being particularly associated with
strawberries and small fruits.

The southern strawberry growers are
buying very large quantities of plants of
southeastern nurserymen. Plants set out
after the fall rains will give a fair crop
the next spring, but the real harvest
comes the second season. Most growers
plow up and replant half their field each
year.

Apple orcharding is on the increase
in the south, but northern winter varie-
ties do not hold their fruit well. The
Berckmans Co. recommends Hargrave, a'
fall variety which originated in North
Carolina, and Poorhouse, a winter apple
supposed to keep market growers away
from the place of that name.

Orchabding in the Pacific northwest,
and consequently the nursery business,
should be largely stimulated by the new
rate on apples put in effect October 8
on the Northern Pacific. It is 60 cents
per hundred pounds with a 3,000-pound
minimum, as against a former rate of 75
cents and a 24,000-pound minimum. This
is to permit second-grade as well as first
grade fruit to reach eastern markets.

PITCHER & MANDA AGAIN.

James R. Pitcher^ manager at No. 46
Cedar street. New York, has filed a peti-
tion in bankruptcy, with liabilities $69,-
450 and no assets. Of the liabilities
$12,237 are for goods sold to the firm
of Pitcher & Martin, soap manufactur-
ers, in 1897. Part of his debts were con-
tracted in New York and part at Short
Hills, N. J., and various other suburban
places between 1892 and 1898, Mr,
Pitcher was for twelve years manager of
a mutual accident association, afterward
was interested in the nursery business
of Pitcher & Manda at Short Hills, and
later was president of a soap manufac-
turing concern in New York.

The Market

Trade the past week has been excep-
tionally good for this season; stock of
all kinds has shown an improvement.
Boses are better in color and are begin-
ning to get the usual size and length of
stem. Carnations are not very plentiful,
but chrysanthemums are becoming more
plentiful every day, so that they will
not be needed so badly, although since
asters ran out the shortage was greatly
felt.

J. B. Murdoch & Co., the new whole-
sale house, have opened their new store
room, 545 Liberty Avenue, second floor,
and are now ready for business.

Qub Meeting.

The Florists' Qub met last Tuesday
evening. The subject for discussion
was ' ' Dahlias and Other Seasonable
Flowers. ' ' K, Vincent, Jr., & Sons, White
Marsh, Md., showed a lot of dahlias,
some of which were very fine and re-
ceived a great deal of praise from the
members present. Mr. Zimmerman,
the gardener at Dixmont, showed a num-
ber of things which he grows in quanti-
ty, such as gaillardias, dahlias, cosmos,
mignonette, small hardy sunflowers and
hardy asters. He explained that all of
these are used to brighten the rooms of
the lunatics, which was news to many,
who thought the only thing they got was
strait-jackets.

Julius Ludwig brought a bunch of na-
tive gentian, or closed gentian, which
many present had never seen. The
Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. showed some
fine vases of early chrysanthemums,
fTTOwn by the Pittsburg Rose and Carna-
tion Co. All of these things came in
for discussion and a very pleasant and
profitable evening was spent, after which
President Falconer called on John Bader
to give us an account of his trip to Cali-

fornia, and then we found out why John
was 80 quiet while we were discussing
dahlias. He said the ones we had were
nothing, as he had seen some in Cali-
fornia six times as large as the largest
we had, which would make them about
thirty inches in diameter. Pretty fair
sized dahlias!

Variotis Notes.

The Pittsburg Rose and Carnation Co.,
last week brought in its second gas well
within a month. This well will be
plugged for the present and Fred Burki
will not lose any sleep for some time
worrying about fuel, and he need not
care how high coal goes, as they now
have four flowing wells, two of which
will be held in reserve, possibly not
needed for a year or two. Just think of
that, you eastern brothers!

Mrs. E. A. Williams made a trip east
and purchased an immense stock of large
palms, ferns and other decorative stock
to fill up the new houses, as she closed
out most of the old stock last spring to
make room for rebuilding. Mrs. Wil-
liams is the only woman in the business
in this city and she is capable of keep-

ing the wisest of them on the jump as
far as getting orders for decorations is
concerned.

The new store of A. K. Hutchison, in
Sewickley, opened last Thursday in a
blaze of splendor and trade so far
has exceeded all of Mr. Hutchison's
anticipations.

T. P. Langhans paid a visit to Wash-
ington, D. C, last week on legal busi-
ness and then ran around by way of
Philadelphia,

The People's Store, one of the depart-
ment houses in Pittsburg, has been
making a run on Boston ferns. This
is getting to be a fad with all the de-
parlment stores.

Mrs. Flicker, of Homestead, Pa., haa
beer offering her place for sale. It
would be a great chance for anyone
with the cash.

Walter Breitenstein, George and Ed.
Blind are reported as St. Louis visitors.

Hoo-Hoo.

Anderson, Ind. — C. H. Williams has
bought the greenhouses and business of
Mark Longfellow, who is preparing to
move to Chattanooga.

NEWPORT, R. L

Always at this season we have a pe-
riod of quiet trade, for with us it is be-
tween times, so to speak. The summer
business is on its last legs, and the reg-
ular autumn and winter trade has hardly
begun. There is always the funeral work
coming along regularly, and it is really
the mainstay of the flower trade here.
Prices are perhaps a little less stiff, for
as the customers thin out we are all
anxious to lose no one. The first violets
of the season appeared this week.

The regular meeting of the Horticul-
tural Society took place last Wednesday
evening, with President James J. Sulli-
van in the chair. While all the reports
of the recent annual exhibition are not
in, enough is known to assure a most
pronounced success financially. A. J.
Pow exhibited Nerine FothergiUi major
and received a silver medal. Colin Eob-
ertson showed his new seedling dahlia
and got a silver medal. M. B. Faxon dis-
played a collection of assorted dahlias
which received honorable mention. It
was by far the best meeting held in a
long time and much enjoyed by all pres-
ent.

Leikens will open a very pretty winter
store October 15 at 7 East Thirty-third
street. New York City. Although this
past summer has been Mr. Leikens' first
season he has had a most successful one,
and that his New York venture will be
a success we feel assured.

Siebrecht & Son closed their summer
store here last Saturday, having shipped
previously all the palms and other plants
remaining on hand to their nurseries
at New Eochelle, N. Y. Mr. Armstrong,
the manager, has returned to the New
York store after a most successful season.

Dennis Leary, of J. M. Hodgson's,
very prettily decorated the State Armory
for the annual firemen's ball last Thurs-
day evening,

Hitchings & Co. have finished the green-
liouae at Sandy Point Farm, for Reginald
C. Vanderbilt.

The dahlias here look much better
now than they have any time this sum-
mer. The frosts still keep off, although
we have had some cold nights, the glass
showing as low as 36 degrees. Dahlias
are the "hobby" here now. Zero.

The Weekly Florists* Review*

October IS, 1904;

PACIFIC COAST.

Elsewhere in this issue will be found
an account of the two establishments of
Clarke Bros., of Portland, Ore., and
Fruitvale, Cal., with illustrations show-
ing both ranges.

LILIUM LONGIFLORUM.

The first bulbs of the season of L.
longiflorum arrived in San Francisco the
last week in September. The importers
have been very anxious to dispose of
them at $28 per thousand. Some of the
growers who purchased heavily of these
early imported bulbs during the laat
two seasons have been very slow this year
to place their orders. The bulbs have not
by any means come up to expectations
and unless the coming season shows a
larger percentage of sound flowering
shoots the importers will have to look
to other fields in which to dispose of
their goods. The main trouble lies with
the growers themselves. Knowing that
the longiflorum does not force as easily
or quickly as does L. Harrisii, they have
been in a great hurry to get the bulbs
planted and by their constant requests
for early stock the Japanese growers
have got into the habit of digging and
shipping unripe bulbs to fill the demand.
I think this trouble will right itself in a
season or two and growers will become
content to wait until the bulbs are in
proper condition to handle.

Although the longiflorum does not
force as easily as does the other variety,
it is much hardier and will stand much
more neglect. In planting now for Eas-
ter flowering there is no necessity for
bringing the bulbs into the heat until
early in the winter. They are easily
handled in flats, planting about ten bulbs
in a box about twelve inches wide, twenty
inches long and five inches deep. In pots
I force them in 6-inch and 7-inch sizes.
I had a batch in boxes about three weeks
before Easter last year and I undertook
to transplant them into pots for retailing
for church decoration. I found they
conld be handled all right provided they
were placed on the floor of the green-
house and watered and shaded heavily for
about a week. In fact, it was impossible
to tell the difference from the foliage as
to whether they had grown in the pots or
whether they were recently transplanted
in them. I found this a good plan
where the bulbe had flowered unevenly,
as they often do, even in pots, and it is
no trouble to get twice the price for an
Easter lily in a pot that you obtain for
the cut stem. G.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market

The weather has turned cooler again.
Business is only fair, very little doing ex-
cept funeral work. For the first time
in a month we are able to show a fair sup-
ply ^ of flowers. Chrysanthemums are
coming in large quantities. Carnations
are daily more plentiful, 9 good many
cut from young plants recently housed.
Stems are short on such flowers, although
blooms are good. Such varieties as Law-
Bon, Enchantress, Bstelle and Prosperity
are selling at 40 cents per dozen. Flora
Hill, Crocker, Schwerin and Triumph sell
at three dozen for a dollar. There are

quantities of short-stemmed Brides and
Maids that do not bring more than $1.50
per hundred. There is a good demand
for long-stemmed roses and few are to
be seen. American Beauties fare about
the worst of any, the flowers being very
flat and stubby. This is caused by the
heat of several weeks ago. The chrysan-
themum is the florists' friend at this
time of the year, and there is nothing
at any season that can compare with it
as a general utility flower. We are pay-
ing the growers from 15 cents to 35 cents
a dozen for outdoor blooms and they re-
tail readily at three times those prices.
The inside mums are selling at from $1
to $2 per dozen. The early indoor blooms
proved remunerative enough to the grow-
ers of mums and the extra late will sell
well after the outside blooms are gone.

Various Notes.

Clarke Bros., of Portland, Ore., and
Fruitvale, Cal., are erecting another large
greenhouse at the latter place.

John Campiano has purchased the in-
terest of his partner, N. Rolleri, in the

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

OCTOBEB 13, 1904.

MILWAUKEE.

At last week 's meeting of the Florists '
Club, a florists' bowling team was or-
ganized and the committees in charge
will arrange for regular meetings and
social sessions during the winter months.
Papers will be read on various topics at
each meeting of the Florists' Club here-
after and discussions will be held on sub-
jects of interest to the trade.

Most growers have finished benching
their carnations and the stock in general
has done well in the field this summer.
There will be a slight increase in stock
over last season.

Frost and heavy rains have cut off all
outdoor stock and demand is brisk now
for all other lines. Trade in general has
been good the past week. Mums and vio-
lets are in, the former selling well.

Seldom has a more magnificent display
of flowers been seen than was seen at
the funel-al of Postmaster General H. C.
Payne. Floral tributes from personal
friends, business associates and other or-
ganizations were sent in from all over
the country. The flowers which came
from Washington with the body almost
filled the car and they arrived in good
condition. They were masterpieces of
the florists' art. Among the most nota-
ble pieces were a wreath of orchids and
valley sent by the President and his wife,
a large wreath and mail pouch, a large
wreath with large floral envelope bearing
the inscription "His Last Letter," a
lamp post with mail box attached, a street
car sent by the Street Railway Co., an
immense basket of American Beauties,
also many pieces from civic organizations
and newspaper associates. It took sev-
eral wagons to convey the flowers to the
cemetery. Incog.

The Holton & Hunkel greenhouses at
1200 Humboldt avenue were damaged by
fire to the extent of $3,000 October 8.
About 4:30 a. m. C. B. Whitnall, former
owner of the greenhouses and who lives
directly in front of them, discovered the
fire and turned in an alarm. The flames
had started in the boiler room, from
which both old and new greenhouses ex-
tend toward the east and the west. In
this center also are the bam and the work
sheds, all of which were destroyed. The
ends of the glass houses nearest the fire
were also burned off and the stock dam-
aged. The company has 25,000 square
feet of glass, a quarter of which, it is
estimated, was broken by fire and water.
The buildings are insured but not the
implements and tools. They had just
received a consignment of palms from
Holland, the duty and freight on which
amounted to $1,000.

GRAND RAPIDS, MICa

On the day that Charles Chadwick
opened his new retail store at Fulton and
La Grave streets he gave each visitor
a rose or carnation. J. A. Creelman is
the manager and is well known in the
town. The attendance^at the opening
was large. The new store is handsomely
fitted up. The greenhouse plant consists
of twenty-six houses and the stock is
looking good. Carnations and violets
have been the special crops in the past
but roses, particularly Beauties, will be
grown in the future.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

October 13, 1904.

DES MOINES, lA.

Jacob r. Marshall has arranged for
the construction of nearly 30,000 square
feet of greenhouses on the river bot-
toms east of Main street and north of
State. The greenhouses will be among
the largest in the west and will be devot-
ed almost exclusively to forcing vege-
tables. The houses now used for this
purpose will be put into good condition
for use for plants and cut flowers, both
branches of Mr. Marshall's business re-
quiring additional supplies.

BEST IN CIRCULATION,

Enclosed find check to cover bill. Had
very good success; sold out everything
advertised. You have the best adver-
tising medium and all-around florists'
paper in circulation; anything else I
have you will do the job, Geo. Milne.

Winchester, Mass., Sept. 29, 1904.

TO WORLD'S FAIR VISITORS.

Certain other Chicago-St. Louis lines
have advertised freely in Chicago and
elsewhere that they land their passen-
gers at the World's Fair grounds. Up
to a short time ago they were using the
Eock Island road to reach the Fair
Grounds. A recent order of the United
States court prohibits the Eock Island
from handling the trains of other lines.
The Wabash is, therefore, the only line
that can handle World's Fair travel be-
tween Union Station, Page Avenue f;nd
the World's Fair grounds. The Chi-
cago-St. Louis lines referred to have ap-
plied for permission to run their pas-
sengers over the Wabash tracks, which
permission has been refused. They will
be obliged to land their passengers at
Union Station, which is over five miles
from the World's Fair grounds.

All Wabash Trains

to and from St. Louis, both regfular and
special, pass and stop at the World's
Fair main entrance, where the Wabash
haa its own magnificent passenger sta-
tion, with every facility for rapid hand-
ling of passengers and baggage.

Between Chicago and St. Louis the
Wabash has

Four Daily Trains

leaving Chicago at 8:45 a. m., 11:03 a.
m., 9:17 p. m. and 11:30 p. m. The
11:03 a. m. train is the BANNER BLUl
LIMITED, "the latest and only finest
day train on earth. ' ' This train makes
the run from Chicago to St. Louis in
seven hours, reducing the usual running
time by one 1-our.

World's Fair Excursion Rates

from Chicago are: For coach tickets
(good only in coaches or free reclining
chair cars) with return limit of seven
days from date of sale, $6.00. These
tickets are on sale every day except
Friday and Saturday.

Ten-day tickets, good in coaches, chair
oars and sleepers, $8.00. Sold only on
October 12, 16 and 17.

Sixty-day tickets, good in coaches,
• chair cars or sleepers, $10.00. Sold ev-
ery day.

nished upon request.

PRUNING CLIMBING ROSES.

What are known as climbing roses, of
T(^hich Crimson Kambler is perhaps the
beat known variety, should now receive
attention in pruning (August 6). I know
it is the accepted plan to defer the prun-
ing of roses generally until March and
April. Those who are thoroughly con-
versant with the needs and ways of
climbing roses, know well that they are
not like hybrid peipetuals or teas; they
do not produce the bulk of their flowers
upon growth of the current season, but
from that which is made the previous
one. This type of rose, then, comes
under the head of plants requiring ma-
turity of growth if a full crop is to be
expected. How, then, is maturity of
giowth obtained? Not by the over-
crowding of shoots, but by due exposure
of growth to air and sunlight.

To obtain these results it does seem to
be the most common-sense principle to
remove the cause of want of maturity at
the proper time, and that is directly the
plants have given their crop of blos-
som. "Why wait until March when the
same thing can be done at once? Know-
ing so well that so many persons do not
realize the requirements of this section
— and a powerful one it is in the rose
garden — I lay special emphasis upon this

detail — its necessity, and the results ac-'
cruing from it.

Taking the climbing or rambling va-
rieties of roses generally, of which
Kuphrosyne, Electra and Leuchtstern are

food examples, in addition to the old
avoiite named above, the finest trusses
of flower are produced from the strong
sucker-like growths made during the sea-
son of flowering. In many instances
where the culture is o£ the best, these
shoots reach a length of ten feet in one
season. These are the growths to retain
for next season's flower crop. In prun-
ing, therefore, due attention should be
given to removing weakly growths that
have flowered this year, cutting them
clean away from the base. Where a
strong shoot of last year's growth has
given a full crop of flower this, and there
is space for it to lemain, do not cut
such away, but prune away all flower
trusses back to a growth eye. Lay in
all the sucker-like shoots, not overcrowd-
ing them, and do not top them, no mat-
ter how long they may be at present, as
with a damp autumn some of the eyes
near the apex might push into growth,
and that is not desirable..

After pruning, prick up the soil about
the plants, adding a little half-decayed
farmyard manure if the growth is not
satisfactory, and water copiously in dry
weather. If the garden hose is used vig-
orously to moisten the foliage in the
evening after a hot day, so much the bet-
ter for the growth, as it washes off dust
and insects, and in every way encourages
freedom of growth. — E. Molyneux, in
Gardeners' Magazine.

PENTSTEMONS.

I must differ from anyone who depre-
cates raising pentstemons from seeds aa
compared with propagating by cuttings,
says a writer in the Gardeners' Maga-

zine. If you have named varieties, of
course propagation by cuttings is ab-
solutely indispensable to maintain the
variety. That is, of course, one thing.
But the raising of pentstemons from
seed is so very much another thing, not
only because all trouble of propagating
by cuttings and wintering them securely
is saved, but there is from seedlings the
certainty of securing great variety in
colors of flowers, and that is a great
gain. So far as the securing of size and
quality of flower is concerned, I have al-
ways found, and my experience extended
over many years and to thousands of
plants, that seed saved from a good stock
will reproduce all the best qualities of
that stock, with the advantage that

i greater variety of color results also. I
lave found few hardy plants, such as
the peutstemon may be regarded, that
reproduces high-class quality so well.

It is so easy to sow seed in a cold
house or frame in February or March,
doing so in a shallow pan, to obtain
plenty of strong plants to dibble into
the open ground at the end of May, and
then have them to bloom profusely
through the autumn. Shortened back in
the winter, and induced to break low
down, they will the following summer
make large and most attractive plants,
carrying bloom until the early spring
sowing comes in. To myriads of flower
lovers such a method of dealing with the
pentstemon is a great gain.

While one of the worst of flowers to
travel well in a cut state, generally be-
ing so shown at a disadvantage, it is in
the garden one of the most charming,
and will give, apart from external color
and size of flower, very beautiful inner
markings. After all, to myriads who de-
vote attention to gardening, plants that
can be easily raised have much more
value than have choice-named or florists'
varieties.

GINSENG.

Can some reader of the Eeview give
me information about ginseng? What
is it used for and what is the culture?

R. V.

The ginseng of commerce is Panax
quinquefolium of botany. The name
panax would indicate that it is for its
curative properties that it is valued and
as a matter of fact by some it is regard-
ed as the panacea for all ills that human
flesh is heir to. It is not largely used
in America except as a demulcent. In
China, however, it is regarded as having
properties which could only be attributed
to it by superstition. The large sale
for the roots in that country has led
to the exportation of the American root
until the plant in a wild state is now
seldom met with. It is cultivated, but
a large majority of those who undertake
the industry meet with failure because
of ignorance of the plant's many pecu-
liarities. It may be propagated from
seeds, germinating the first or second
year, according to whether they are fresh
or dry. The soil must be light, rich
and well drained.

Because of the high price at which
ginseng roots have sold it has been made
the means of swindling a large number
of credulous persons, and glowing de-
scriptions of the profits to be made by
purchasing from any of the numerous
ginseng companies are to be taken with
a very large grain of allowance. For
further information on this plant and
its culture write to the Department of
Agriculture, Washington, D. C, for bul-
letin No. 16 of the Division of Botany.

overhead supply pipe, the 1^-inch pipes
taking steam from the boiler and nin-
iiing under the benches to the farther
end of the houses and condensation re-
turning to the boiler through a 2%-inch
pipe. We have, in other words, 600 feet
of 2% -inch feed pipe, 6,000 feet of 1-
inch pipe, 4,000 feet of 1 14-inch pipe
and 200 feet of 2%-inch drip or return
pipe. We desire to ascertain the maxi-
mum condensation when the boilers are
working their best, say during a night
when the temperature is 20 degrees below
zero and every pipe carrying steam. We
are anxious to determine the kind and
number of pumps to return this conden-
sation to the boilers and should have
figures for the maximum condensation
per hour. H. H. N.

Under normal conditions, with a house
temperature of 60 degrees, the pipe
mentioned should give about 170 gallons
of water per hour. The pump needed
will therefore be one of comparatively
small size. If the pump is to be worked
by the boiler pressure on the heating
boilers it will be necessary to secure a
pump with a large steam cylinder and a
small pump cylinder in order that suf-
ficient power may be secured to force a
small jet of water into the boilers
against the boiler or working pressure.
There are, however, pumps made to meet
this condition and pump makers can
give you a pump of the proper dimen-
sions if they know boiler pressure, quan-
tity of water to be elevated and the dist-
ance it has to be lifted. There are also
automatic return traps which are used
satisfactorily for this purpose in many
greenhouse establishments.

EXHEBinON FLOWERS.

The weather just now, while ideal in
many respects for the development of
the flowers, is really too bright and
warm during the day, and shading is
still necessary. So far we have been
free from those warm, foggy nights,
which cause the flowers to damp so ter-
ribly, and it is to be hoped that this
year we may be spared this misfortune.
The burn by the sun is entirely different
to the damping from the moist night air,
but the results are equally destructive.
Nothing is so heartrending to the ex-
hibition grower as to walk in his house
some morning and find his choicest flow-
ers spoiled and worthless. Every day the
flowers are opening and from now on the
exhibition grower lives in a little world
of his own. The rose or carnation
grower, or any other specialist, is nat-
urally interested in his work, but he
can never experience the pleasure that
the exhibition mum grower feels as he
daily watches the culmination of his
hopes after weeks of watching and wait-
ing. Chrysanthemumitis is a disease that
spreads rapidly at this season. While it
is contagious, it is not fatal and runs its
course in some four or five weeks, after
which the patient is able to sit up and
take notice and gradually recovers his
sanity. This disease, like hay fever, once
contracted recurs every year about the
same time, and is only cured by the
death of the patient or the refusal of
the boss to buy any more novelties.

To return to our flowers, we can now
begin to see how the novelties are shap-
ing, and while some are comparatively
useless for our climate, others ■ will be
very fine. Of the Wells set, Winnie
Terry may be set down as useless. It is
deficient in petalage and shows no merit
whatever. This merely emphasizes the
fact that no matter how good a variety
may be in Europe, it does not follow
that it is any good here.

On the other hand, J. H. Doyle and
Mrs. J. A. Miller are ■'both finishing up
enormous flowers. They will be inval-
uable to the exhibitor and, while they
run somewhat on the same color, a terra
cotta, shading to brick red, they are both
indispenBable.

Mrs. W, Duckham is a lovely thing.
It greatly resembles Cheltoni in shape
and general appearance, but it is deeper
in color and a narrow crimson line run-
ning down each side of the petal makes
it a striking and distinct variety. It is
equally as graceful as Cheltoni and must
become a very popular variety.

With the exception of Merstham Yel-
low, which has already been spoken of
in these notes, none of the others of the
Wells set is developed enough to judge
yet, but Dora Stevens looks to me like a
greatly improved Chenon de L«che.

Mrs. J. Dunn, as a white, will hardly
come up to our standard for size. The
flower has lots of petalage, but the florets
fall close to the stem and, unless ex-
hibited on a board, the size of the flower
is lost to a large extent. Emily Mileham,

a white, somewhat on the same lines, I
regard as a much finer kind and this lat-
ter will probably make its way all rigKt.

Last year's novelties are showing up
in wonderful shape. W. Duckham, while
it is later in developing, shows up as
fine as last year and if this variety is
not set up in splendid shape everywhere
I shall be greatly surprised.

Cheltoni is a peerless yellow, in its
season, which is second early. I saw a
batch of several hundreds October 17
that were simply exquisite. Immense in
size, yet with a perfect finish, one may
say it is in a class by itself. The de-
mand for stock of this variety at a pop-
ular price will, I predict, be phenomenal.

Harrison Dick and Donald McLeod, the
two bronzy yellows, are both ready to
cut and I regard them as useful kinds
for either the commercial or exhibition
grower.

F. A. Cobbold is making such enor-
mous foliage that there is not room for
it in the bench, and I think it will have
to be grown in a pot, where its exuber-
ance would be tamed down.

Two whites that were not generally
distributed last year, Mrs. D. V. West
and Guy Hamilton, are both showing up
finely and will make their marks this
year all right.

Ben Wells, also, will please everybody,
unless I am greatly mistaken. Massive,
yet finely finished, and a very vigorous
habit, combine to make this a splendid
sort.

In the crimsons Maynell and Wright
both look well and, while they both
damped some in the sunlight, this trouble
has ceased since the plants were well
shaded. I shall be surprised if S. T.
Wright particularly is not set up in fine
shape at Boston. It is making an enor-
mous flower and the color is very striking.
Some growers are having trouble with it,
but the fact is it will not stand much
feeding and, as it is such a strong
grower, feeding is not really necessary.

I do not recall ever seeing the flowers
of all the kinds finishing up so nicely
as they are doing this year and I look
for fine exhibitions and good competi-
tion, particularly in Boston.

Brian Bobu.

CARE OF STOCK PLANTS.

Now that the early mums are being
cut I wish you would tell us how to
treat the plants for stock for next sea-
pon's propagating. I have several new
sorts, only a few plants of each, and
I want to multiply them as much as
possible before another year. Please tell
me how to proceed. H. O.

If H. 0. wishes to increase his stock
very much the best way would be to take
all the cuttings that are now showing on
the old stools and root, them at once.
These cuttings, when rooted, can be
planted out closely on a bench in a tem-
perature of 50 degrees and they will in

spring produce a great abundance of cut-
tings, after being topped once or twice.
The old plants can also be kept in a
cool house and they will continue to give
cuttings all winter. Brian Boru. '

TIME TO CUT MUMS*

At what stage of development should
chrysanthemum blooms be cut when long,
usefulness is desired? E. K.

The flowers should be cut just before*
they are fully developed. They will then
keep much better than if they had been
permitted to get too far developed on^
the plants. The development of a flowcv
can be gauged most easily by a novice-
by the petals in the center. So long as
the center of the flower keeps hard and'
the petals keep unfolding from it the
flower will continue to develop and in-
crease in size. When the center shows-
signs of "finishing," the flower shouldJ
be cut and stored away in a dry, coM
cellar with little light. By keeping the
water fresh and sweet flowers can be
kept for two weeks or longer before be-
ing used for decorating, exhibiting or
whatever the case may be.

LEAF SPOT ON OMEGA.

Can you tell me why the foliage on
Omega has turned brown t The plants
were bought last May from a western
firm and were nice, clean stock. They
started well and have grown well; they
now stand five feet, single stems, but
three feet is bare, the foliage having
turned brown, as old foliage does. They
are in a good, light house, the balance
of which is Haluday and Bobinson.
These are in good shape, standing five
feet with foliage to the bench, all planted
in five inches of soU and eight inches
each way. They have been carefully
watered. The soil is rather light andi
plenty of good manure was mixed in be-
fore planting. After they were welE
started a light top dressing of fine sheep-
manure and wood ashes was given every
ten days, but no manure water. Omega
seems to be a fine early mum and I'
would like to be able to grow it in bet-
ter shape. H. D..

The plants of Omega are affected -mifa
leaf spot. There are several forms ef^
this leaf disease and, while they can be-
kept in check in the first stages olT iHc
disease by the use of Bordeaux nostuoc*
or sulphide of potassium, it is n»w tor/
late to help them much. Some Taxietijes
are more susceptible to this disease than
others and Omega, in my experience, is
one of them. As soon as the flowers
are cut the plants intended to be kept for
stock should be taken up and boxed andt
after being sprayed with Bordeaux, may
be removed to another house. This wiir
go far toward having clean stock for
next year. Brian Boru.

THE PEOPLED FLOWER.

From a bulletin of the Cwnell Uni-
versity Experiment Station we learn
that the chrysanthemum industry in New-
York state involves more capital ereni
than the growing of peaches. When
the chrysanthemum craze began in
America in 1888, there were loud com-
plaints from those florists who thought
there would be no great permanent popu-
larity after the first fever was passed. At
first, the chrysanthemum seriously in—

fringed for six weeks upon the year-
round favorites, the rose, carnation and
violet, but it must now be considered one
of the four staples of greenhouse flori-
culture. The times of universally ex-
cessive prices are forever past, the read-
justment to a final acceptance of this is
nearly made, and the chrysanthemum
has become distinctly a flower of the
people.

The mission of the chrysanthemum is
to fill the dull interval between the mid-
dle of October and the last of November.
Nevet until the development of the
peculiar forcing-house industry, the com-
mercializing of floriculture on a vast
scale, was it possible for a flower giown
almost exclusively by the florists, and
under glass, to win its way into the

hearts of the masses. It is the greater
general use of cut flowers that makes flori-
culture unique. The popular demand for
long-stemmed flowers, and for some fa-
vorites in every month of the year, hais
conspicuously changed the methods of
cultivation of chrysanthemums, roses and
violets. Persons buy cut flowers, keep
them in vases as long as they are thor-
oughly satisfactory, and are very sensi-
tive to the delights of arrangement for
form and color effects. The keeping quali-
ties of chrysanthemums are extraordi-
nary, and this happy circumstance is one
^I'eason why this flower has so won its
way into the hearts of the masses. Never-
theless, the cry is sometimes raised that
the clirysanthemum is a "rich man's
flower." — Gardener's Chronicle.

Cinerarias*

It is not easy to discard these beauti-
ful plants, for they are so showy and
the straina now are grand and easily
obtainable from any reputable seedsman.
Seeds sown in August for Easter plants
will now be in 2-inch pots and will soon
want a 4-inch, in which they will pass
the winter, and in February be shifted
into their flowering pot, 5-inch or 6-
inch. Remember that the cineraria,
while ruined by the slightest frost, will
thrive during the winter months at 40
degrees. In fact, the fullest light and
a low temperature and constant fumi-
gation are the three essentials to make
stout, healthy plants. One thing more,
use in potting a rather coarse loam with
a fourth of well-rotted manure, so that
the water will pass quickly through.
In a sandy, flbreless compost that held
too much moisture I have seen hun-
dreds rot off when quite large plants.

Palms for Decoration.

The leading palms, for which there
was such a large sale for many years,
up to two or three years ago, promise
to be again popular this winter. The
Boston fern was truly the plant for the
past three years, and when you see the
magnificent specimens that can be and
are grown in living rooms and store
windows, it richly deserves all the popu-
larity it gained. Yet the kentia and
areca, the latania and phoenix are go-
ing to sell well. Chief of all these is
the kentia. You will often see a large
collection of these useful palms in a re-
tail establishment and yet with difficulty
is one found that is actually perfect.
This is because too many of them are
lugged out to some function or other,
packed and unpacked, bruised, brushed
against and perhaps chilled. You can't
take a kentia out half a dozen times,
with the best of care, without it getting
somewhat shop-worn.

So set aside those palmB for deco-
rating, big and little, and at the same
time keep in perfect order and health
those you have for sale and under no
temptation let them go out "into soci-
ety." At night 60 degrees is low enough
for the small and medium-sized palms
that you offer for sale, but 50 degrees

at night will do very well for the large
plants you use for decorations. A mod-
erately low temperature is quite as well
for them, as they will feel less the great
changes of temperature to which they
are too frequently exposed. If I mis-
take not, early signs say that the me-
dium-sized palms that will retail at from
$3 to $8 are "coming in" again.

Imported Hardy Shrubs. Z^.^

The hardy shrubs from Europe will not
be here for a week or two, but I have
seen them arrive when we had a spell of
very severe weather. Even if most of
the deciduous flowering shrubs we force
are hardy in the open ground during our
coldest winters, that is no reason why,
after being in a close box in the hold of
a vessel and on the cars for sometimes
three weeks, that they are in any con-
dition to stand a zero freeze, which I
have seen them exposed to when un-
packed, greatly to their damage. The
deutzia, lilac, prunus, pyrus, wistaria,
viburnum and the Ghent azaleas are all
hardy, yet when first taken out of the
pacKing cases, if the weather is severe,
they should be stood in a cool shed for
a few days and at the first opportunity
heeled in with plenty of soil around
their roots in a deep cold-frame, where
they can be protected with sash and
mats or shutters.

Importing nurserymen have houses
especially adapted for this purpose, with
no artificial heat, yet constructed so that
no frost enters, lliis would be an ideal
place. In place of that, the small im-
porter can get along very nicely with a
substantial cold-frame. It is the sudden
exposure to frost after being first un-
packed that does the harm. Later on
severe cold may do them no harm. Rho-
dodendrons will do very well with the
same treatment. They are bulky plants
and you can not afford to give them
bench room all winter, even if it were
good for them. The temperature of pro-
tected cold-frames is more congenial to
them and two months on your benches
is all you can afford.

Young Ferns.

I think there are many young ferns, of
which we have to keep a few thousand

all winter for filling fern dishes, much
injured, and sometimes entirely ruined,
by being placed on a bench which is
usually an inch board and there may be
three or four 4-inch pipes beneath it.
There may be a scant half-inch of sand
or ashes on the boards, but when firing
strong the sand or ashes get dry and
warm and that's the very worst condition
for these little ferns in 2-ipch or 3-inch
pots. It is doubtful if any ferns ^ like
fire heat near their roots.

Ferns, the very great majority, like
moisture. Not the moisture we produce
by syringing, as we do palms, but a
steady moisture at the roots and sur-
rounding them. Those who have noticed
where the wild ferns grow, know that
they are found beneath the shade of
larger vegetation, on shady banks, on
the margins of streams -And often where
there is a constant trickling of water
over rocks. There are exceptions to this
we know, but all the ferns we grow for
fern dishes are tropical and, while they
do not want spraying, the surroundings
should be moist; hot, dry sand parch-
ing the roots in the little pots is the
very worst condition for them. So if
you must put them on benches over
pipes, put a depth of sand, ashes or soil
that will not dry out.

Genista.

As Easter is very late, this pretty
yellow flower is likely to be too early
unless you keep it cool. It does not
make as much growth in summer as in
the cool of winter. When the young
growths are two or three inches long
they can be clipped back to make the
plants rounding and shapely, but don't
do any clipping or stopping after New
Year's or the flowering growths will be
short and stubby.

Rambler Roses.

I have mentioned several times that
just about now there is danger of your
pot-grown Ramblers, in case a warm
spell occurs, breaking at their strongest
eyes, which would be unfortunate. They
are as well laid on their sides for the
next three or four weeks, or until you
put them away in cold-frames for a rest
until you force them. Don't, however,
if the weather is bright and dry, let
them get dust dry. Now, when you have
them so far along, they will well repay
a little extra labor. Water once a week
will do, for the foliage is about gone.
There is a difference between moderately
moist and a soaking for two or three
days.

Primula Obconica.

Primula obconica is sure to be as
popular and useful as ever and, with
the wonderful improvement in size and
color of flower, it is now indispensable.
What a pity it poisons some people. I
thought for years it was all imagination
or affectation. Of a dozen men and
boys who handle it and speak as they
pass by, not one complains, yet we have
% very successful lady florist on Main
street who has to run out at the back
door if she sees P. obconica coming in at
the front. It is a beautiful pot plant
all winter and the cut sprays are most
useful in designs.

We planted out the little plants from
the seed pans in May, to some flats of
finely prepared soil, and in July trans-
planted about eight inches apart in four
or five inches of soil on a bench. Those
we want for pot plants for Christmas

«an now be lifted and potted in 5-inch
or 6- inch pots. They take no notice of
the lifting any more than a pansy. If
kept very cool the others can remain on
the bench until February. For cut flow-
ers, if given more room on the bench and
a night temperature of 50 degrees it is
a much more satisfactory way of grow-
ing them than in pots.

Smilax.

Of all criminal negligence in the green-
house^ the most inexcusable is letting
your smilax bed go without strings. A
bed planted at the first of July should
be now ready for first cutting. Don't
pick out good strings here and there.
Clear it off as you go, and then keep the

portion cut on the dry side until you see
young growths start. A heavy watering
after you have denuded the plant <rf all
growth is most liable to rot the fleshy
roots and they are then about as
fragrant as rotten potatoes. Tie up the
strings again before the young growth
is long, or it will soon get tangled up
and no amount of patience will make
a perfect string. After the first crop
is cut and another crop has a good
start, put on a mulch of one inch of
manure not too far decayed. Like all its
family, it is a heavy feeder. A heavy
loam, plenty of manure and a strong
heat, not less than 60 degrees, at night,
are the conditions which make smilax
profitable. William Scott.

CARNATION NOTES. -WEST.

BUDS AND FLOWERS ROT.

I would like to know the reason why
my carnation buds rot in the center be-
fore they open and even when they are
open. 1 give them a good soaking once
a week and after they are sprinkled
they are spotted white. B. C. H.

While I cannot say with certainty that
all the fault lies in your method of
watering, yet I feel sure that much
of it comes from that source. If the
trouble is not brought on by it, it cer-
tainly is aggravated by it. To give
your carnations a good soaking once each
week, regardless of the condition of the
soil, is the greatest folly. You should
water when the soil is in the proper
condition, which may be once in one week
and three times the next week, according
to the weather, and besides this you
should look over the beds every day and
water the dry spots along .the edge^,
etc.

Those white spots are not caused by
the sprinkling, but by thrips, and you
will do well to get after them in earnest
at once. Get some of To-bak-ine liquid
and spray them every morning for a
couple of weeks, providing the day is
bright, and you will get rid of them.
The only way to get rid of this little
fellow is to go after him with hammer
and tongs, as the saying is, and clear
him out with a rush.

CARNATION NOTES.-EAST.

The Use of Sulphur.

I have many times in these notes re-
ferred to the use of sulphur as a means
of combating and preventing fungous or
other diseases and, in view of several in-
quiries, will give different methods of
utilizing this valuable remedy.

The most common way of using sul-
phur is in the dry powder form, applied
with a bellows. The more finely the pow-
der is divided the more effectual; there-
fore it is better to employ flowers of sul-
phur than that obtained by reducing lump
sulphur to a powder. Some contend that
there is no difference in these two j»ro-

ducts but when it is considered that the
former is the form taken Dy it in the
process of distillation, there can remain
little doubt of the dissimilarity.

It is generally conceded that the chief
remedial properties of sulphur lie in its
fumes; hence the advice to apply the
powder in a manner that the sun's heat
may extract and cause these fumes to
be diffused.

During periods of continued cloudy or
stormy weather it is sometimes desirable
to offset the effect of the damp atmos-
phere by other means than wholly with
artificial heat. This is accomplished by
applying sulphur to the heating pipes in
the form of paint, covering only enough
surface to produce a subtle odor of sul-
phur through the house.

Several methods are employed to pre-
pare the sulphur in paint form but I fa-
vor its mixture with lime in the follow-
ing manner. Slake a quantity of lime in
hot water which will cause violent boil-
ing; add the sulphur while boiling most
violently, stirring thoroughly; allow one

Seasonable Details.

While we have ceased overhead water-
ing several weeks ago, yet we find that
we cannot reduce the syringing down
to once or twice each week. The nights
are cool and invigorating, but most of
the days are quite warm and about
II in the morning we find that a light
spraying overhead does the plants a
great deal of good. We do not wet
the walks, except perhaps where they are
exposed to the sun all day, causing them
to throw off too much heat for the good
of the plants along the edges. Try now
to get your plants a little hardened off
by watering a little less than you did
a month ago, but do not starve them by
any means. The carnation is a water-
loving plant when the conditions other-
wise are favorable.

If the stems of some of the varieties
are a little weak give them a light
dressing of wood ashes. In fact, it will
be quite beneficial to all of them about
this time. It serves to tone up the
plant's system and sweetens the soil. If
the soil is not too full of roots stir it
about a half inch deep with your hands,
then sprinkle over it about a 3-inch pot
of ashes to each row half way across a
5-foot bed and water thoroughly. The
ashes will be mixed with- the soil just
as well and it will be much easier on
your hands than to sprinkle on the ashes
and stir them in afterward.

By this time you should have the tying
up pretty well completed, as far as it
is needed. Some of the taller varieties

will already need the second tier, while
many of the dwarfer and stiff-stemmed
sorts will do very well on one tier for
a little while yet. Don't delay adding
the supports as they are needed, but the
less strings, etc., there are in the way
the better you can work the soil, etc.

Of course you are keeping the plants
disbudded right along now, so that by
this time you should be picking some very
nice blooms. There is a vast diftereuce
in the quality of the blooms from the
different varieties at this time and often
we are inclined to judge a new variety too
harshly because it fails to come up to our
expectations early in the season, or, on
the other hand, we may fall in love
with a variety during this month and
next, only to be all the more disappointed
later on in the winter. Don't pass final
judgment on any new variety you may
have on trial until at least the end of
the propagating season next spring. Last
spring I heard of several growers who
threw away their stock of Adonis only
to buy a new stock of cuttings a little
later, when it picked up so well for some
of their neighbors. Then, again, there
are those varieties which do not like
warm weather, but produce grand blooms
as soon as cool weather sets in. They
may all be profitable when given a
chance, and when judging a variety it
should be when it is at its best, and not

when it may be at its poorest. Study
the wants of the new ones and try to see
what can be done with them when they
are grown as they should be.

GREEN CARNATIONa

Is there such a thing as a green
carnation? I am told there is, but have
not heard of such a thing.

Elmwood.

I know of no carnation which pro-
duces blooms of a green color, nor would
1 grow it if I knew of one. The party
who told you there is such a variety
must have seen some blooms which were
colored artificially. This is often done
to meet the demand for something green
to wear on St. Patrick's day and, while
the process is simple enough, it is not
known to everyone who handles flowers.
You will find that if you cut some white
blooms when they are just unfolded and
set the stems into a dark green colored
water they will draw up enough of the
coloring matter to take on a lively green
cast. Of course the people who buy
the blooms imagine they have a naturally
green bloom because they can see no
coloring matter on the outside.

DECORATIVE SCHEMES.

A Wall Decoration*

The illustration here presented is of
a chapel wall at Christmas time. The
material is wild smilax, holly sprays
and berries. The wall was covered
with ingrain paper, no figures at all
appearing excepting the top ^borider.
This last part, of the permanent deco-
ration was carefully respected. No
part of the temporary decoration was
allowed to extend over the lower line
of the border. A plain wall is always
the piost desirable for foliage or flower
decorations.

The first part of the decoration to
be put up was that of the tapestry ef-
fect which shows under the spray of
smilax to the left. The material for
this tapestry was strings of holly ber-
ries on linen thread. The loose, holly
berries from several empty cases of
holly were saved and the work was
done by a number of children. This
they greatly enjoyed, which could
hardly be said of a busy florist during
Chrirtmas week. It would be a long,
tedious job for anybody else but chil-
dren who were anxious to earn a little
money for Christmas. Although such
a task for one person, the results are
well worth the work, for the bright
berries retain the color for many weeks
and the smilax as well. One end of
the linen thread is wound around a
tack which can be driven in along the
lower liiie of the border without having

the tack show. Place the strings about
an inch apart. Make the longer ones
to reach the top of the wainscoting be-
low. Vary the lengths of the strings
about as shown in the illustration.
Along the top of the wainscoting make
a sort of frieze of ordinary sized holly
sprays. Tack these on with double
pointed tacks on the top edge of the
woodwork, being careful to make as
few punctures as possible.

The principal part of the design rep-
resents one large spray of wild smilax
with numerous drooping and side

branches. The design is simple, but
very decided. It is much easier, as has
been emphasized before in these col-
umns, to have a deflnite picture in mind
of the design whicli is to be put up.
With this end in view, select the sprays
of smilax which can be easily connected
and will fall into place to make the
one large spray of the decoration. This
was begun at the heavy end immedi-
ately over the window in the right cor-
ner. The first spray was tacked on
the top of the woodwork of the window
frame and spread out along the prin-
cipal lino of the large spray. One tack
somewhere over the slender end of the
top part of the branch will hold this
part of the spray in place. The tip of
the spray, as can be seen in the illus-
tration, takes a decided curve down-
ward. At the point where the principal
line of this spray begins to deviate
from the main line of the large spray,
place the lower end of another spray of
the smilax. Direct this last one up-
ward and parallel with the lower line of
the border. Tack it in place with not
more than two or three of the staples,
and repeat the process several times
until the left upper end of the whole
design is put in place. Do not lose the
direction of the whole spray. Several
of the drooping branches toward the
center and left end of the spray can
be put in last, as they seem to natur-
ally fit in. Do not attempt to twist
these tough stems nor turn them about
from the position which the natural
bend of the spray seems to demand.
After completing the main spray, the
large branch extending to the right
along the side wall is attached to the
main spray, fastened along the corner
where the two walls meet, and termi-
nated in much the same way as the
far end of the spray. Where the
sprays are fastened in the comers of
the walls, several little side branches
are trained out past the corner on the
side wall to prevent an abrupt corner
to the spray.

The left window is framed in holly
sprays, following closely the outline of
the windo.w frame. Let the top of the
wainscoting be the lower border of the
whole decoration. GERTRxn>E Blair.

Then a lot of Adiantum Croweanum was

Next fine large Shasta daisies were

filling was done so that the shorter dais-

WORLD'S FAIR FLOWER SHOW.

A party of leading men in the trade
met at the Sherman House, Chicago, last
Saturday and organized the World's Fair
Flower Show Association for the pur-
pose of giving floriculture a boost by
means of an exhibition of the first mag-
nitude on the grounds of the St. Louis
World's Fair. The dates chosen were
November 7 to 12.

Among those present were President
Philip Breitmeyer, of the S. A. F., De-
troit; E. G. Hill, Richmond, Ind.; El-
mer D. Smith, Adrian, Mich.; Fred
Dorner, Jr., Lafayette, Ind.; H. W.
Buckbee, John T. Buckbee, Chas. W.
Johnson, Rockford, 111., the principal
growers in the vicinity of Chicago and
other interested parties. E. G. Hill oc-
cupied the chair.

It was stated that President Francis,
of the World's Fair, had authorized
Chief Taylor to arrange with responsible
parties to hold a flower show in the
great conservatory adjoining the Palace
of Horticulture, the Fair providing
room, light, attendants and advertising
without charge, the show management
to pay the cash premiums and to be
entitled to charge and retain an admis-
sion fee of 25 cents. Chief Taylor
stated that the exposition gold, silver
and bronze medals would be awarded to
exhibits in this show the same as in
other departments of the Fair. Henry
Shaw medals will also be available.

The proposition being fully canvassed
and the possibilities for the advancement
of trade interests ofl'set by the difficul-
ties of accomplishing much work in a
brief period, the question of ways and
means came up. The only logical way
seemed to be to raise a guarantee fund
equal to the footings of the premium list
to insure exhibitors the payment of their
cash awards in full. This was the
course pursued in the World's Fair Show
at Chicago in 1893, when a dividend
was paid instead of an assessment made.
A canvass of the men at the table gave
a total of $2,800. During the day this
was augmented somewhat and it was
voted to invite all horticulturists to unite
with the present guarantors in making
this a World's Exposition flower show.

The first step was the organization of

(Director, World's Fair Flower Show, St. Loals, November 7-12.

the World's Fair Flower Show Associa-
tion, with the following executive com-
mittee: Philip Breitmeyer, E. G. Hill,
Leonard Kill, W. N. Rudd, Elmer D.
Smith, Fred C. Weber and J. C.
Vaughan. P. J. Hauswirth was engagied
as director of the exhibition, headquar-
ters to be at 227 Michigan avenue, Chi-
cago, until about the first of November,
after which Mr. Hauswirth will be at
the exposition grounds.

The show having been determined upon
and the funds in sight, the great essential
was a premium list of sufficient scope
to include all departments of the trade
and with the money at hand so distrib-
uted in liberal sums as to bring out
what all confidently expect will 'be the
finest lot of exhibits staged anywhere
this year and perhaps the finest display
ever seen in this country, for there is
any amount of good stock only waiting
for a chance at World's Fair gold
medals, with all expenses paid.

The following committee on premium
list was appointed: Elmer D. Smith,
W. N. Rudd, Jas. Hartshorne, C. W.
Johnson and N. J. Wietor. They have
prepared a list carrying a total of $6,000
divided into the most liberal premiums
offered anywhere in this country this
season. The list is all ready for publi-
cation save for the "0. K.'*^ of the ex-
position officials on the oflfers of
World's Fair gold and silver medals.
These are assured but will be awarded
by exposition jurors under the same
terms and restrictions as for any other
exhibits. Doubtless the exposition will

accept the same judges as are engaged
to award the cash premiums, thus re-
ducing the work.

Proofs of the premium list, which is
already in type, afford the opportunity
of selecting the following as illustrating
the very liberal cash premiums:

One hundred cut blooms chrysanthe-
mums, white, $75, $50, $25; same pre-
miums for yellow and pink.

ROSES.

Seasonable Notes.

During the winter months, when the
days are short and the duration of sun-
shine is reduced to a minimum, the gen-
eral care of roses, upon which so much
of our success depends in producing
blooms in quantity and quality to make
both ends meet, necessitates great at-
tention, skill and vigilance without ceas-
ing, both night and day.

If we are determined to succeed, the
demands on our time and attention are
immediate and pressing, as no crop un-
der glass is so impatient of neglect as is
this queen of flowers and the grower
who fails to put his soul, energy and
skill into the subject had better be out
of it.

To enable the grower to give them the
proper attention he must becc«ne an
ardent dnd careful observer, noting
every failure and trying to trace its
cause. The act of searching for a cause
will be the means of obtaining additional
knowledge regarding the wants and char-
acter of each variety and also lead to a
systematic study of the diseases to which
they are liable and the most effectual
method of combating such.

The long, dreary winter, with its lack
of sunshine and cold, moist atmosphere,
is the time to try the skill, ingenuity
and patience of the grower and put him
on his mettle, and he who faces his
troubles with courage, energy and knowl-
edge is sure of success.

What I consider as one of the most
essential elements to success is to under-
stand the true theory of watering, for if
this knowledge is lacking there is certain

to be trouble during this season, when
evaporation is on the decrease and root
action is less lively. In my long ex-
perience as a rose grower I have noticed
that the majority of complaints during
the winter season about stock going
back can be attributed to over-watering
and over-feeding, and rarely to the lack
of it, and as a consequence I am natu-
rally inclined to put a deal of stress on
this subject.

Any neglect in tying and training at
this season is bound to reflect on the
future crops, for if shoots and branches
Are allowed to scramble and trail over
the bench the eyes are certain to break
weak and produce a crop of blind wood.
Each shoot should be tied neatly and
separately, allowing suflBcient space be-
tween for free circulation of air, so
that after applying the syringe the foli-
age may become dry with as little delay
as possible.

A thorough knowledge of the theory
of ventilation is also necessary to the
rose grower and the reduction to an ex-
act science should be practiced, as there
is great danger to even the finest crops
if indiscriminate ventilation is resorted
to. Vigilance, careful watering, a thor-
ough knowledge and practice of ventilat-
ing and temperature is the price of a
crop of high grade blooms. Rises.

FEEDING BEAUTIES.

I have started to feed Beauties that
were planted May 1 with weak cow ma-
nure liquid. Is it advisable, and if so,
how often? B. P. T.

Not knowing the condition nor stage
of growth these Beauties have attained

Xtm;'^

Dendrobium Thyrslflorum.

it is rather a difficult matter to give
advice upon. If they have attained a
strong, vigorous growth and filled the
bench with roots, they may be in a con-
dition to use a weak dose of liquid food
once a week. I have, however, found it
advisable to refrain from the use of
liquid stimulants on young stock, and
rather prefer giving them a light mulch
till the days begin to lengthen. Liquid
feeding has a tendency to produce a
softer growth than is safe to enter on
the winter with. Bibes.

DENDROBIUMS. L^ _-

There are few more showy orchids
than the dendrobiums and the photo-
graphs reproduced, from plants grown
at the establishment of Harry G. Self-
ridge, at Lake Geneva, Wis., show what
fikill and care can accomplish. C. H.
Gebhardt, the gardener in charge, sup-
plies the following description and cul-
tural details:

Deodrobium Thyrsifloram.

"The flowers are one and a half to
two inches across, spirally arranged like
grapes. The sepals and petals are
white, throat orange yellow. It is from
India. We keep this dendrobium at the
resting season in a Mexican house, where
the night temperature is from 50 to 5&
degrees. During March and April, when
most of dendrobes start into growth, we
put them in a cattleya house, with a
night temperature of 60 degrees and day
rise of about 5 degrees. During summer
months, from May to August, we put
them in our East Indian house, with a
night temperature of 65 to 70 and day
75 to 80 degrees. During September
and October we return them, first to the
cattleya house, and during winter to the
Mexican house. In winter we give water
only enough to keep the compost and
surface moist and prevent the latest
formed stem from shriveling, the amount
being gradually increased as the young
shoots appear. When new growths be-
gin to make roots water must daily be
given liberally until they have completed
their growth, when a diminution should
be made until the plants are again at
rest. And so with the sprinkling and
dampening down, a corresponding dimi-
nution must be made during the declin-
ing months of the year until winter
comes again. We give plenty of ventila-
tion in summer, from top and bottom;
in spring and in fall, according to the
weather, and in winter only top ventila-
tion, as we are not able to open any
bottom ventilation in winter, as all the
side walls are banked with leaves to-
keep the houses warmer. We keep D.
thyrsiflorum suspended from the roof.

Dendrobium Wardianum.

"This is from Burmah. The flowers
are three to four inches across, wax-
like in texture, sepals white with purple
blotch at the tip; petals white heavily
tipped with purple, lip bright yellow,
with maroon blotches. We cultivate
thorn similar to D. thyrsiflorum with the
exception that in summer we give them
more sun and after the growth is com-
pleted hang them in our rose house, sus-
pended from the roof in the full sun.
In winter,^ from November until March,
we keep them in a north lean-to house,
where the temperature is 45 degrees at
night and keep them nearly perfectly
dry until March, when we bring them
first to the Mexican, next to the cattleya
house until the buds start to open, then

October 20, 1904.

we let them bloom in the East Indian
house. After flowering we transplant and
keep them over summer in the East In-
dian house until the winter treatment
starts again."

HOUSES AND THE MAN.

A grower who was particularly inter-
ested in roses recently visited a number
of establishments in the vicinity of
Chicago and noted, among other things,
that the best lot of roses as well as
about the poorest, were in comparatively
new, high, light houses, differing but
little in construction. The best Beau-
ties were in new, even-span connected
houses 27x300 feet, gutters eight feet
from the ground, ridge seventeen feet
six inches. These houses had continu-
ous ventilation on both sides of the
ridge, ventilators forty inches wide.
In the side walls there was only one
row of 24-inch glass and the plants in
the side benches were, while not poor,
not so good as the others. The second
best lot of Beauties were in small even-
span houses thirteen years old, posts
four feet, ridge nine feet, ventilators
operated by a wire and a stick. There
was not so very much difference in the
quality of the stock although the man
with the low houses has to tie his plants
down when they get too tall and must
grow teas on most of his side benches.
It leads to the conclusion that, no mat-
ter how great an aid good houses are,
the real essential is a grower who
knows his business.

KEEPING CACTUS DAHLIAS.

I would like to know the best way
to keep cactus dahlias in water. 1
have a very nice collection of the new
sorts, but they are worthless as cut
flowers. As soon as cut and put in
water they go to sleep. We cut them
early in the morning and put in a cool
place, but it makes no difference; they
wilt just the same. I have no trouble
with the decorative or show sorts, only
with the cactus varieties, like Kriem-
hilde, Winsome, Progenitor, Beatrice,
Volker and all the newer ones.

C. H. G.

Many of the cactus varieties are very
poor keepers as compared with the show,
pompon and decorative types, yet sev-
eral of the varieties, two of which are
mentioned, particularly Winsome and
Kriemhilde, we find very good keepers,
and ship 500 to 1,000 miles, where they
still give satisfaction. In fact, Kriem-
hilde will keep as long as any of the
ordinary show dahlias.

In the first place all shoots should be
removed, leaving the flower on the stem
with its foliage just the same as a
chrysanthemum, and they should be put
into plenty of water until the stems are
thoroughly filled, after which time there
should be no trouble in packing and
they should keep from two to four days,
according to variety. If the young
shoots and buds are allowed on they
will absorb both strength and moisture
which should eo to the flower, causing
the flower to wilt. A still better plan
is to take off the buds and shoots, or, in
other words, disbud the branch as soon
as the main bud is large enough to
show that it is perfect. The flower
will be larger, the petals have much
more texture and then by cutting the
branches off and placing in water, the

same as long-stemmed chrysanthemums,
all of the cactus dahlias, with sufficient
stem to hold the flower, will keep well
for several days. There are of course,
exceptions with varieties like Volker,
Earl of Pembroke and a number of
others having such weak stems.

THE READERS' CORNER,

Chrysanthemums on Boards.

The showing of chrysanthemums on
boards at Kansas City was a means to
an end, which was satisfactory, pleasing
and successful. If the chrysanthemums
at Kansas City had not been exhibited in
all the approved modern forms, then,
and then only would the staging of
blooms on mossed boards be open to
criticism. With the same conditions I
would use them again. It is an actual
fact that for interesting the public — I
mean the masses — the boards at Kansas
City had as many, if not more, admirers,
as the hundreds, fifties, twenty-fives and
twelves in vases in all their magnificence,
and they were magnificent,

John Thorpe.

ZIZ LILIUM CANDIDIUM.

When the Lilium candidum arrived the
bulbs had made a weak, pale growth
three to four inches long. Could these
be considered dormant bulbs and will
they answer for forcing purposes?

E. K.

We are afraid your correspondent
must have purchased his Lilium can-
didum bulbs unusuallv late to receive

them in the condition named. This lily
starts to grow about September 1 and
to have the b^st success bulbs should be
potted as soon as they can be procured
from the seed houses, which is generally
from August 20 to September 10. Bulbs
kept later than September 20 in a store
make both roots and leaves and, while
they will still make fairly satisfactory
flowering bulbs, they can hardly equal
earlier potted ones.

The bulbs received cannot be consid-
ered dormant ones. We would recom-
mend their being immediately potted,
placed in a cool, airy frame until the
foliage gets green and flrm and then
stand them outdoors, until severe frost
threatens. A good freezing we consider
necessary for the successful flowering of
this beautiful lily. Keep as cool as pos-
sible until the bulbs are started. Never
mind if the pots are frozen occasionally.
Procure bulbs as early as possible an-
other season and pot as soon as received.
W. N. Craig.

SOILS AND MANURES FOR MUMS.

Dr. A. B. Griffiths has kindly pro-
vided the writer with an analysis of the
chrysanthemum plant which shows the
following chemical composition in parts
per hundred:

Potash 16.2

Lime 28.8

Sodn 10.4

Magnesia 10.2

Iron oxide 8.7

Phosphoric aold 10.6

Sulphuric acid 4.7

Silicp 6.0

Chlorine 3.1

These figures show that lime forms an
important constituent in the main struc-
ture of the chrysanthemum plant, com-
prising as it does more than one-quarter

The Weekly Florists' Review*

of its total mineial substance. Phos-
iphoric acid is also a conspicuous element,
while potash ranges third. Soda and
magnesia come fourth on the list and
are nearly equal in their proportions.
The element nitrogen forms 2.92 per
cent of the organic substance of the
plant.

The chemical composition of the
'Chrysanthemum seems to point, therefore,
to the requirement of a fairly complete
ananure, of which superphosphate or bone
imeal should form a prominent part. The
■excellence of any crop does not resolve
itself entirely into questions of the kind
and amount of manure used. This is
particularly true of the chrysanthemum.
Consideration must be given to the va-
riety of the plant and the character of
the cutting. That a weak cutting or
variety must receive different treatment
JEzem a hardy one is self-evident.

The physical condition of the soil is
rof almost as much moment as its chemi-
cal constitution. It is of prime impor-
tance that the soil should be porous, in
-order that thorough drainage and aera-
tion be obtained. For this purpose it is
■well to mix with the soil a certain amount
of sharp sand and charcoal, the presence
of the latter being particularly desir-
able. The nature of the soil, too, gov-
•ems the manner of potting. For a
flturdy prowth, light soil should be very
firmly packed, while heavy soils require
only loose packing.

The question of the feeding of the
-chrysanthemum resolves itself into two
parts, namely, the nature of the compost
and of the subsequent feeding which
takes place when the flower-buds appear.
It is commonly held that the basis of the
compost should' consist of a good fibrous
loam. The use of a very heavy clay

loam brings with it the danger of water-
logged roots, while a very light saridy
soil permits excessive drainage and con-
sequent root starvation. It is prefer-
able to err on the side of lightness rather
than of heaviness.

With the loam, well-rotted stable ma-
nure may be mixed in various propor-
tions, although the ratio of one part ma-
nure tcf, three parts loam will probably
give, the best results. Horse, cow and
sheep ^manure can all be used with good
results, but cow manure is usually pre-
ferred, as it gives up its fertilizing prop-
erties gradually.

It is often advantageous to add to the
compost one part in four of good leaf-
mold; with the lighter soils this is par-
ticularly desirable, not so much because
of any addition of nutrient material,
but because of its power of retaining
water and plant food.

Various animal as well as mineral fer-
tilizers have frequently been added to
the compost, and sometimes even used as
substitutes for the stable manure. Ouano
has thus been used with good results;
so has fish manure and dried blood. A
very good practice is to add to every
cubic yard (20 bushels) of feompost forty
pounds of finely ground bone, which not
only serves as a source of phosphoric
acid and lime, but also furnishes some
nitrogen. Soot also has with advantage
been made a part of the compost. This
furnishes as much as three per cent ni-
trogen, chiefly as sulphate of ammonia,
as well as small quantities of phosphoric
acid and potash. It may be used at the
rate of one to five pounds of soot to 100
pounds of the compost. Should the loam
be at all deficient in lime, the deficiency
should be corrected by the addition of a
few haudfuls of slaked lime (two or

three pounds) per cubic yard of soil. '
A lack of lime will cause soft stems and
flabby leaves. Its importance is shown
by the foregoing chemical analysis.

Nitrate of soda and sulphate of am-
monia have been recommended by some
growers as a part of the compost. The
evidence in favor of this practice is at
present insufScient to commend it. It
seems an unnecessary addition, with dan-
ger of a too concentrated soil solution,
and waste of nitrogen through rapid
drainage. Excessive concentration of
nutrients in the soil solution is more in-
jurious than a deficiency, because of the
inability of the roots to absorb solutions
above a certain degree of concentration.
The result is that the plant starves.
This fact has been very strikingly shown
by some chrysanthemum cultures seen
by the writer within the past few weeks.
Again, in the presence of an excess of
nutrients a good ball of roots is not pro-
duced, even though the cencentration of
the soil solution is not too great for ab-
sorption by the roots; and, further, the
roots are not in a condition to take up
the subsequent liquid manure. The
best plan is to have a moderately rich
compost, thereby obtaining healthy roots,
stems, and leaves, and then, when flower
buds appear, to apply the rich liquid
manures. Experiments have shown that
nitrate of soda anu sulphate of ammonia
may be used as a substitute for stable
manure, although not as an addition to
it. Still, this does not at present seem
practicable, the better plan being to re-
serve these for the subsequent feeding as
liquid fertilizers. — J. J. Willis, in the
Gardeners' Chronicle.

THE MARKET FOR MUMS.

Ed. Keview: — In the market notes of
a contemporary I see that a correspond-
ent signing himself E. G. G. takes a
shot at us in Chicago, saying that we
are "blowing our horn" about selling
mums at $4 a dozen; he says he wonders
if they were not sold to some retail cus-
tomer. As my name was mentioned in
the news item which provoked this com-
ment, I feel that I am privileged to rise
to the defense of Chicago. In the first
place, we wish to have it understood
that we sell to the trade only. The
chrysanthemums in question were Mon-
rovia, grown by Gunnar Teilmann,
Marion, Ind., and Mr. Teilmann has a
statement which shows that for thirty-
two dozen shipped between September
24 and October 3 his gross sales were
$127.50, only one dozen of the thirty-
two being sold for less than $4, and
that brought $3.50. Such customers as
Wienhoeber, Smyth, Samuelson, Mangel
and Muir bought the stock. Our prices
are governed by grade of goods, sup-
ply and demand. These mums were all
sold to the trade and were worth the
money at the time. E. C. Amling.

RAMBLER ROSE HELENE.
The new rambler rose, Helene, is a
very strong grower. It originated with
Peter Lambert, Trier, Germany, in 1897,
and he says of it that it has in one
season made several growths four meters
(ten feet) long. It is a seedling from an
unnamed seedling of Aglaia, crossed
with Crimson Rambler. In growth it
excels its parent and the flowers are
larger in size. Lambert describes the
color as clean, soft violet rose. It
blooms early and freely, twenty to fifty
flowers on a branch. The illustration
is from a plant of Helene at the nurs-
ery of Ellwanger & Barry, Rochester.

The Market.

This delightful Indian summer is ex-
cellent 'Weather for one phase of the com-
mission business;, it facilitates trading
growers. They are all in a state of un-
rest and it is easy to get up a dicker.
But market conditions are not nearly so
bad as the dissatisfaction of the grower^i
would indioate. The city buyers are tak-
ing good quantities of stock, including
everything but violets, which are slow
sale, and the out-of-town shipments are
numerous and fairly heavy. The-trouble
comes that receipts are large and qual-
ity aflTected by the unseasonable heat.
Even in this respect, however, there is
already an improvement. Cuts are not
so heavy as last week, although the pro-
portion of low grade material is just as
great and "clean-up" sales just as cheap.

The early mums are gone and the mid-
season sorts not yet on in full force.
Oood Beauties sell well but are too
abundant for any material stiffening in
prices. Some tea rosea are very good
and in demand, with others soft or mil-
dewed and unsalable except for cheap
•work. Liberty is fine. Outdoor carna-
tions still oppress the market. Fine
dahlins are offered. It is too warm for
violets, even fine Hudson river stock go-
ine very slow. These are again received
in quantity. Smilax is in brisk demand
and pretty well cut out. It is the one
item strong in price.

The Chicago Show.

If anyon<? has an idea that because of
the St. Louis show interest in the local
exhibition will be any less he wants to
disabuse himself of it right away. Chi-
cago is goini? to have the best show of
the year. There was a meeting of the
executive committee of the Horticultural
Society at the Auditorium Monday after-
noon at which the work was pushed
along with a will. Seldom, if ever,
have there been so many interested work-
ers. Everyone wants to do something
to make the Chicago show the success

it should be. The poster will be ready
November I.

Various Notes.

H. Bau.ske is one of the growers who
does not find it necessary to rebuild his
houses every few years in order to main-
tain the quality of the stock. He grows
good stock in any kind of house, no mat-
ter how old, because he neglects none of
the infinite details of good culture,
keeps his houses always freshly painted
and as clean as though perpetually
swept by a new broom. If Mr. Bauske
has his slippers on, he doesn't like to
have to stop to put on his gum boots
before he can go into the greenhouses. It
is an example which many would make
money by following. He grows Beauty,
Bride, Maid and Liberty. The cut goes
to the A. L. Randall Co.

L. Baumann & Co. report being more
than pleased at the way their florists'
supply business has grown in the short
time they have been pushing it. Take,
for instance, folding Christmas bells;
their importation of one style amounts to
18,000 and practically all are sold. Be-
sides they make a bell of their own,
white, red, green and other colors, on
which they are doing a big business. In
fact it has for some time not been a ques-
tion of getting business but of filling or-
ders promptly. They are working nights
and Sundays. They have the whole
fourth floor and half the third at 76-78
Wabash avenue and a big storeroom on
the north side.

Peter Reinberg says that good coal is
the cheapest in the end. Pocahontas at
$3.25 a ton he finds cheaper than any
coal he has ever used, including Illinois
and Indiana coals at much lower rates
per ton. The Pocahontas has the lasting
qualities, burns up clean, makes little
smoke and gives great heat. He buys of
Castner. Curran & Bullitt in the Old
Colony buildine.

C. M. Dickinson spent a day at St.
Paul last week. W. E. Lynch returned
Monday from his trip to the Hudson
river violet district and the Berkshire
fefn region. He says he saw to the ship-

ping of two refrigerator cars of femSy
now in cold storage.

At the Growers' Market Crabb & Hun-
ter reopened this week. Mrs. Mulliken,
who had charge last season, is again on
hand but now as Mrs. Jamieson. The F.
Blondeel Co. will resume selling on No-
vember 1. Mrs. Fred Hills is again on
band each morning.

A. V. Jackson has given up rose grow-
ing and torn down his houses. Hereafter
all his energies will be devoted t6 mush-
room growing.

The Bensinger funeral on Sunday
brought out one of the largest displays
of flowers ever seen in Chicago. Mr.
Bensinger was the founder of the Bruns-
wick-Balke-Collender Co., and many of
the pieces were above the hundred-dollar
mark.

All Saints' day, November 1. is annual-
ly the occasion for heavy shipments to
New Orleans ; nowhere else does it
have any importance as reflected in de-
mands on this market. The New Or-
leans shipments will go out October 29
and 30.

Kennicott Bros. Co. is doing a big busi-
ness in wire work this month, but re-
port wheat sheaves slow sale.

Frost has held off so long that the
growers are putting carnations from the
field in the benches from which the early
mums were cut.

Wietor Bros, report shipping demand
as very good the last few days.

D. Wood Brant is getting a large cut
of Beauties. He ships the greater part
of his product on standing orders.

Leonard Kill is chairman of a commit-
tee charged with the duty of procurin^f
supplies so that a flower may be given t*
each lady who visits the flower show.
He was also chairman of the progrant
committee for the St. Gregory's church
fair this week and if he is as successful
in getting flowers as he was in getting
advertisements for the program ther«
will be a whole bouquet for each show
visitor.

Gus Lange says business is opening in
good shape. He is buying heavily. His
out-of-town trade seems to keep him busy
on days when local business is quiet.

To the sign on the window of the P.
E. Butler Floral Co. has been added "R.

J. A. ^ Budlong is cutting some very
nice Mrs. Robinson mums.

The Market.

The debutantes, so dear to the heart of
our Thorley, have come, commanding our
choicest products for their coming-out
teas. With them are the October wed-
dings of their elder sisters, and some
elaborate dinners, making quite a show-
ing in business for mid-fall. The same
accelerating influences have quickened
the out-of-town demand, especially for
Beauty, valley and chrysanthemums. The
same flowers are favorites locally and
in addition orchids and cosmos. In
chrysanthemums yellow is more plentiful
and probably the best seller. The varie-
ties of the Pacific type are fast waning.

S. S. Pennock has two fine new sorts,
Lager, an incurved yellow, and Mrs.
S. T. Wright, a huge bronze, that
brought the record price, $5 a dozen.
The Leo Niessen Co. is handling some
fine mums, in pink, white and yellow,
the latter such sorts as Mrs. Parr, Rob-
ert Halliday and Lager, all very hand-
some. Beauties are in excellent form,
while in fair supply. They have been
scarce on several days. Carnations have
fallen off in price owing to increased re-
ceipts and the quantity of other flow-
ers. . Valley has been in good supply.

Two Handsome Decorations.

Last Saturday Elihue Boot, eX-Secre-
tary of War, and Henry Cabot Lodge,
senator from Massachusetts, spoke before
a large audience in the Academy of
Music. The building was apprbpriately
decorated with bunting, electric lights,
greenery and an immense eagle over the
stage, the effect being carried out in the
national colors. Before the meeting a
dinner was given in honor of the dis-
tinguished visitors at the Union League.
For this dinner the decorations were un-
usually choice. The circular table nine
and one-half feet in diameter was set for
eighteen persons. In the middle was
a magnificent star in red, white and
blue, the center being American Beauty
roses, the five points' of violets edging
lilies of the valley, finished with ferils.
Above, the chandelier was tastefully fes-
tooned with orchids. The sides of the
room were banked with plants. These
decorations were arranged by the Wm.
Graham Co.

The Flower Market*

The second atinual meeting of the
stockholders of the Philadelphia Whole-
sale Flower Market was held in the sec-
retary's room in Horticultural Hall last
Monday morning. There was a good
attendance, Wm. K. Harris presiding.
The reports of the secretary and treas-
urer were read and adopted. The three
retiring directors, Alfred Burton, David
Rust and Herbert G. TuU, were unani-
mously re-elected. After the meeting a
choice of stalls was sold at auction in
the market, 1235-1237 Filbert street. Wm.
K. Harris was auctioneer. So well did
he do his work that the sale realized
more than double the amount obtained
last year. John Burton secured first
choice.

A New Store.
F. & H. Merganthaler, wholesale grow-
ers of Bride, Bridesmaid and Kaiserin
roses, will open a store on Germantown
avenue, just below Chelten avenue, on or
about November 1. The store, with
greenhouse attached, is now in course of
erection and promises to be neat and
well equipped. It is directly opposite
William Berger, whose success has prob-
ably inspired the new enterprise. It is
to be hoped that healthy competition
will attract plenty of business for both
florists in this Germantown center.

The Work of John P. Qeary.

The two days' auction sale of plants
held last week at Robert Craig & Son's
realized fair prices, averaging, it was
said, about ten per cent lower than last
year. Buyers were not so plentiful, many
of those who bought freely a year ago
being stocked up. Bidding was at times
discouraging, it being impossible to se-
cure good figures from a crowd who did
not care whether they got the stock or
not. Under these circumstances the work
of the auctioneer, John P. Cleary, shone
out brightly. On the first afternoon,
when the crowd increased to fair pro-
portions and began bidding up a desir-
able lot of plants to full wholesale
prices, he adroitly shifted them to the
large palms for an hour, obtaining there-
by fair value for the most valuable
items on the list. A large amount of
stock was sold at what, considering the
bad weather and moderate attendance,
may be termed fair prices on an aver-
age.

Various Notes.

I Hugh Graham had an elaborate wed-

ding at Bala last Saturday, including
house and church. A feature was the
bridesmaid's bouquets of pink chrysan-
themums trimmed with paper in the old-
fashioned way. A wedding anniversary
at Oak Lane on Monday and a wedding
at Chestnut Hill on Wednesday have
kept him busy.

department at the back of the store.

Walter C. Baumann, one of the very
few florists who has prospered in Rox-
borough, reports business just opening

maids have taken a slump, a good many
being disposed of at $1 per hundred,
while we heard of some going as low as
60 cents in one of the markets. Good
flowers still sell well, the demand for
weddings, funeral work and social gath-
erings being excellent. Short-stemmed
Beauties bring $4 and $5 per hundred
and $25 seems to be about the other
limit. Chrysanthemums vary all the
way from 50 cents to $2.50 per dozen, a
few fancies going a little higher. The
quantity of these now coming in is quite
large.

Carnations seem to hold their own
wonderfully well and even a heavy out-

to materially affect prices on them. En-

ily been paid for it. A few extra fancies
brought $5 and good stock has brought
$2.50 to $3 per hundred. Lawson and
Harry Fenn are coming extra fine, the
best reaching $4. Violets are increasing
in quantity. One grower stated that he
brought in 60,000 last week. Prices
vary from 40 to 75 cents. Prices on
asparagus and fern remain about the
same.

Death of Arthur Hunnewell.

Arthur Hunnewell, eldest son of the
late H. H. Hunnewell, of Wellesley, died
very suddenly of heart disease October

17. He was born in Boston in 1845.
His beautiful estate at Wellesley, ad-
joining that of his brother, Walter, is
well known to horticulturists from all
parts of America.

Various Notes.

Local growers report that a continu-
ance of bright weather will be necessary
to properly finish their blooms for the
coming chrysanthemum exhibition. Grow-
ers of specimen plants are also of the
opinion that the opening date may prove
a trifle early for some varieties. Presi-

dent Herrington, of the C. S. A., haa
appointed the following committee to co-
operate with the committee of arrange-
ments of the Massachusetts Horticul-
tural Society at the coming exhibition:
William Nicholson, chairman j W. W.
Edgar, Alexander Montgomery, Elijah A.
Wood and Kenneth Finlayson. The in-
tending exhibitors would confer a favor
by notifying the secretary at Horticul-
tural Hall, Boston, on or before Novem-
ber 1 respecting their exhibits and prob-
able space needed. Entries are already
coming in, to W. P. Rich, the secretary.

Mention The Review when you write.

At the monthly meeting of the Garden-
ers' and Florists' Club on October 18,
satisfactory reports were received from
the various committees in regard to the
entertainment of visiting members of the
C. S. A. A banquet will probably be
decided upon. Members of the two flower
markets are also co-operating.

J. K. M. L. Farquhar arrived home
from his European trip on the Oceanic
October 12. He reports a very enjoyable
business outing. The coming exhibition
will now demand a good deal of Mr.
Farquhar's attention.

Peter Ball, the well known florist,
opened a store in Maiden on October 15.
The opening was most auspicious and we
have no doubt that it will prove a money
maker for him.

The funeral of E. S. Spaulding, chair-
man of the selectmen of Lexington, on
October 16, was the occasion of a fine
display of flowers. N. F. Oomley made
up some very handsome pieces.

At the new market stock continues to
clean out nicely. Messrs. N. F. Comley
aad Pater are sending in the best vio-
lets, several thousands a day each. Fair
Haid, Queen and Lawsou are reported
the best selling carnations here. Some
nice pansies are also coming in.

W. P. Rich, W. H. Spooner and J. A.
Pettigrew attended the exhibition of the
Worcester Horticultural Society as a del-
egation from the Massachusetts Horti-
cultural Society on October 13. They
report a fine exhibition and a first-class

time.

James Wheeler has great faith in the
new pure culture mushroom spawn.
His experience with it last year was
most gratifying. In a bed spawned on
September 21 mushrooms appeared on
October 12, which is remarkably quick

time.

The gypsy moth continues to attract
considerable attention from property
owners in the infested sections. A rep-
resentative gathering of mayors, select-
men, tree wardens and others was held
in Boston on October 11 to try and ar-
range for concerted action. A further
conference will be held in November.
A mass meeting of Arlington residents,
presided over by W. W. Rawson, dis-
cussed the same question on October 14.
It was voted to ask for an appropria-
tion of $3,000 at the next town meetina;
to assist in fighting the moths. Dr.
C. L. Marlatt, of Washington, who spent

three weeks in the infested sections last
July, has issued his report. He believes
that control of the pests can only be
obtained by concerted action over the
whole of the extensive infested area.

The directors of the Park Street Mar-
ket, at a special meeting, awarded a
stall to Geo. E. Buxton, of Nashua,
N. H. It was felt that, although Mr.
Buxton resides outside the state, his
goods are of &uch high class that they
would be a benefit to the market. W.
Glidden will act as salesman for Mr.
Buxton.

S. S. Skidelsky, of Philadelphia, who
was in town the past week, pushing the
sale of Cardinal and Fred Burki carna-
tions, reports a fine sale for these novel-
ties. He will make an exhibit at the
approaching show.

J. A. Budlong & Sons Co., of Provi-
dence, R. I., are bringing in some superb
Bride and Bridesmaid roses to the Park
Street Market, splendid foliage, grand
stems and grand blooms.

Quite a variety of chrysanthemums are
now to be seen in the store windows.
Some of the popular sforts are Willow-
brook, Kalb, Robert Halliday, Monrovia,
Ivory, October Sunshine, Miss Alice
Byron and Mrs. Robinson.

The white sport from Mrs. Coombes
submitted to the Boston committee of
the C. S. A. on October 15, at the Park
Street Market, by A. Herrington created
a favorable impression. The flowers
were hardly sufficiently developed and
we hope to see it shown again, as it
has all the ear-marks of a good commer-
cial variety.

Alex. Montgomery is planning for a
committee meeting of members of the
American Rose Society on the occasion
of the coming chrysanthemum exhibition.

NWilliam Nicholson thinks that field-
grown carnations make the best stock.
He is now cutting grand blooms from
his new house planted on July 28. Of
the new varieties Mrs. Patten, White
Lawson and Lady Bountiful are doing
finely. Flamingo so far is disappoint-
ing. It grows well and is full of flowers,
but blooms look sleepy on the plant and
are sound asleep twenty-four hours after
picking. In whites Wolcott and The
Queen are leaders. Eldorado is still the
best yellow and J. H. Manley the best
commercial scarlet. Enchantress leads
in its color, followed by Fair Maid.
Harry Fenn and Harlowarden are the

best crimsons. Lawson is still the best
of its color.

S, J. Goddard reports Enchantress
away ahead of a year ago with him,
readily selling at $4 per 100 and no
complaints of its becoming sleepy. This
experience appears to be general. Fair
Maid he likes well, but does not con-
sider it in the same class with En-
chantress. Lady Bountiful lacks petals
early in the season and feels the check
of lifting but gives some nice blooms.
White Lawson is extra good and will
be more grown another season. The
Queen is immense, a wonderful producer.
Mrs. Patten is very fine and Flamingo
just as sleepy, although color, stem and
habit are ideal. Marion Buxton, of a
lovely soft shade of pink, like old Grace
Wilder, is doing flnely.

H. M. Robinson & Co, have secured
space in Province street for a salesroom
of ferns and other greenery.

The Waban Rose Conservatories' new
salesroom, opposite Houghton & Dutton,
the dry goods merchants, is now open
and looks very neat and cozy.

William E. Doyle is having a big call
for the new rose, Wellesley, at his stores
on Boylston and Beacon streets. Flow-
ers are deep pink in color, edges of a
lighter shade and blooms very fragrant.

The Gardeners' and Florists' Club
meeting on October 18 brought out an
extra large number of members, John
K. M. L. Farquhar spoke on European
hdrticultural advancement as seen in his
recent trip.

There were some handsome wedding
decorations the past week. At the
Lowell-Lloyd nuptials at Emmanual
church white chrysanthemums were
chiefly used. Doyle was the decorator.
At the Lawrence-Peabody wedding at
Trinity church Bride roses and white
chrysanthemums were used to fine effect.

The autumnal tints on trees and
shrubs have been magnificent of late.
In Franklin park, Boston, the colors
have been especially fine. In the park-
ways and arboretums the berried shrubs
are very attractive. Some of the roses,
viburnums, among which V. Opulus is
very brilliant; loniceras, cratsegns and
euonymus are especially notable. The nut
crop is especially heavy and with the
abundance of berries would seem to in-
dicate a severe winter if the predictions
of the weather-wise count for anything.

The Market.

Trade in the cut flower line, as report-
ed, was somewhat better the past week,
as a number of social affairs used up
quite a lot of choice stock, of which
there was plenty at the commission
houses.

Chrysanthemums, as usual at this time
of the year, are crowding roses and car-
nations. They are coming in more freely
and choice stock is selling well. The top
prices are $2.50 to $3 per dozen. Mme.
Bergmann and Polly Eose are quite
plentiful, also Glory of Pacific and old
Oloriosum, of the smaller varieties. The
prices asked are $1 to $2 per dozen. By
next week the market will be pretty well
stocked with all varieties.

Boses are in fair demand and, like the
mums, only the choice goods in demand.
American Beauties are in big supply just
now. Extra choice long bring from $3
to $5 per dozen. Others are as low as
$1 to $2 per dozen and a big lot of short-
stemmed ones at $4 to $6 per hundred.
In Bride, Maid, Meteor, Liberty, Perle ^
«nd Camot there is a big supply of good
stoct. Firsts bring $5 and $6 per hun-
dred, seconds $2 and $3, shorts as low
as $1.

Carnations are plentiful and some of
them of extra quality. The top price is
$2 per 100, and as low as $1. Rose
Queen, Flora Hill, Enchantress, Boston
Market and Joost are the most looked
after this week. Violets are coming bet-
ter, but yet too small for good sales.
The best prices are 25 and 35 cents. The
cool weather the past week should im-
prove them greatly.

Valley is fine and plentiful. Outdoor
stock, such as cosmos, tuberoses and dah-
lias, is about over for this season. Smilax
looks well and has a good call at 15
cents. Of all other greens the market is
in good supply, with a good demand.

Good chrysanthemum plants are not
yet to be seen, but the growers, Messrs.
Windier, Schray, Sanders and Beyer, say
that by next week the stock will be in
fine shape.

Club Meeting.

The regular meeting of the Florists'
Club was held October 13, President
Juengel presiding. Twenty members were
present. All convention committees
made their final reports and were dis-
charged with, thanks. Communications
were read from the Detroit and New
York clubs thanking the members for the
treatment received by their members who
attended the convention; also a commu-
nication from President Breitmeyer re-
garding the National Flower Show at
the World's Fair.

Two members were elected to mem-
bership, Andrew Olsen, of St. Louis, and
W. A. Chalfant, of Springfield, Mo. Four
applications for membership were filed,
by C. C. Sanders, Fred H. Weber, Henry
Lohrenz, all of this city, and Swan Peter-
son, of Gibeon City, 111.

It was decided that at the next meet-
ing of the cliib a chrysanthemum show
would be held in the club rooms, for
which the club has offered $50 in prizes.
A committee was appointed by tlie chair
to taJse charge of the management. The
committee consists of J. J. Beneke, F.
H. Meinhardt, Emil Schray and Theo.
Miller. The prizes are open to all chrys-
anthemum growers. This committee will
meet this week and arrange a prize list,
which will be mailed to the growers.

There was quite a discussion regarding
the disposition of the convention funds
left over. This was left open until the
December meeting, when it vnll come up
for final disposal.

Swan Peterson, of Gibson Cityj 111.,
was present and gave the boys a talk on
carnations, at the same time exhibiting a
sample of Gibson Beautyj which was
much admired.

W. J. Pilcher, vice-president of the
club, was prevented from attending the
meeting owing to the death of his moth-
er. The club extended a vote of sympa-
thy.

The question box failed to bring out
as lively a discussion as heretofore.

The next meeting of the dub should be
a hummer. The chrysanthemum exhibi-
tion should bring out the largest attend-
ance the club has yet had. This meeting
will be on Thursday afternoon, Novem-
ber 10, at 2 o'clock.

Various Notes.
Visitors who belong to the craft and

who are spending a few days with us
and at the fair are Mr. and Mrs. Bauth,
Springfield, 111.; A. K Mauff, Denver;
Mr. Vesey, Kansas City; Mr. and Mrs.
J. D. Thompson, Joliet, 111.; Mrs. Mo-
rat and her daughter, Mrs. Jacob Schulz,
Louisville; Swan Peterson, Gibson City,
111.; Allen McGregor, Springfield, 0.;
Geo. M. Kellogg, Pleasant Hill.

The Michel Plant and Bulb Co. is to
have an auction sale on Thursday, Octo-
ber 20, at 10 a. m., for the disposal of
some 2,000 plants of all kinds.

Wm. Schray & Sons received notice
that they have been awarded a gold
medal for their new canna at the World 's
Fair. They have named it Superior. It's
the only one that is now in full bloom
on the grounds.

A. G. Bentzen, on Marcus avenue, has
just finished two new houses and reports
everything in tip-top shape for the win-
ter season. Mr. Bentzen has a fine lot of
palms and Boston ferns.

J. F. Stinson, superintendent of po-
mology in the Horticultural building,
World's Fair, was presented the past
week with a handsome gold and enameled
medal as a token of esteem from the ex-
hibitors in the Palace of Horticulture.

The city park commission is at a loss
as to the kind of trees to plant in City
Hall Park, as over half of them have
died. Maples and elms have been tried
and the oak cannot grow where there
are paths and granitoid, as all the roots
lie close to the surface. A few sug-
gestions from the outside would help
them out of this trouble and no doubt be
greatly appreciated.

The Simmons Hardware Co. is open-
ing its china department and there are
prizes offered for the best table decora-
tion and best arranged bride's reception
decoration. Four florists have entered.
They are Ostertag Bros., Ellison Floral
Co., C. Young & Sons Co. and Miss M.
S. Newman. The public is to be the
judges by their votes. We hope justice
will be done.

R. J. Mohr, late of St. Louis, is
now with W. J. Smyth in Chicago. Mr.
Mohr is a member of our local club and
the members wish him well in his new
position.

Robert Beyer surprised the craft by
coming down town last week. Some say
this is "Bob's" first visit down town
since the S. A. F. convention in 1893.
His friends hardly knew him. J. J. B.

The Market.

There is little encouragement for tBe
wholesale trade in present market condi-

■ tions and there will not be until summer
temperature has departed. A perfect
flood of chrysanthemums is now in evi-
dence and there will be a rising tide of
the supply of the autumn queen for many

! Weeks to come. While they last the rdst

■ of the market will be demoralized. Eepe-
tition of specification seems unnecessary.
Boses, valley and even orchids share in the
general depression.

Various Notes.

The auctions are still in full blast.
Tuesday Elliott had his annual "red
letter sale," which meant a restocking
of retail stores. Dreyer's big sale at
"Woodside comes on Wednesday and
Thursday and the usual sales in the city
on Friday make this an "auction
week. ' '

A. J. Rickards and John Eingier are
both back at headquarters with the
Stumpp & Walter Co. after months of
successful travel.

H. H. Berger & Co. report an unprece-
dented fall business and regret their im-
portations were not double the amounts
received. They suggest the certainty of
a shortage in the supply of Paper Whites,
tulips and longiflonmis.

J. I. Raynor last week celebrated the
sixteenth anniversary of his wedding and
his store and handsome new signs indi-
cate a faith in the future that should
have due effect upon the many new ships
venturing on the wholesale sea. When
the wind changes there will be little
cause for any firm building its hopes on
square dealing to fear the outcome.

A familiar name, one of the old-tim-
ers, appears on a store on Twenty-ninth
street this week, that of Michael Hart.

A new retailer has come to town from
society's summer center, Newport, Jos.
Leikens, formerly of the Siebrecht forces,
and has located at 7 East Thirty-third
street, under the shadow of the Waldorf-
Astoria.

Some fine Queen of Edgley are coming
to Moore, Hentz & Nash.

Traendly & Schenck report increased

shipments out of town and as far west
as Rochester, with roses, carnations and
violets most in demand, many of the lat-
ter going to Washington.

November 14 is chrysanthemum night
at the club. President Traendly is
especially anxious that early preparations
be made by intending exhibitors. Spe-
cial exhibits of any seasonable flower
will also be welcomed at that time. The
great show under the auspices of the
American Institute will be at its height
and visiting florists are requested to
arrange for attendance at the club rooms
in the Grand Opera House building on
that occasion.

John Young is handling daily ship-
ments of Ward's grand new carnations,
many novelties among them, including
the fine red Robert Craig, which readily
commands 5 to 6 cents and which Mr.
Young characterizes as a "sensation."

A. H. Langjahr has added a horse and
wagon to his many facilities for the
convenience of his city customers.

N. Lecakes & Co. have added a cut
flower department to their green goods
business, with John A. Foley as man-
ager, and are now handling large quan-
tities of smilax and asparagus.

Saltford's big store was overrunning
with mums on Monday, four wagon loads
being his share of the arriving ship-
ments. He had some superb stock among
them. Lager and Glory of Pacific, Halli-
day Robinson and Adele. He is also
receiving splendid Lawsons, some 2,000
daily. As his faithful bookkeeper is
Miss Lawson, there is never a day when
this variety, in one form or another, is
not in evidence.

Charles Millang has a special depart-
ment of his conservatory devoted entirely
to chrysanthemums where they can be
shown to great advantage, the electric
lighting of his establishment now adding
greatly to its conveniences with the rapid
shortening of the days.

The retailers are rapidly preparing
for the opening of the fall season and
already some large weddings have taken
place, calling for extensive decorative
work.

Thos. Young, Jr., had the Strauss-
Hess wedding at Elberon last Wednes-
day. Manager W. H. Donohue with ten
assistants were four days completing the

decorations. Two carloads of palms
were sent down and orchids, swainsona
and several thousand Beauties were util-
ized in the work.

Bowling.

The New York Florists' Bowling Club
has been duly organized and commences
its career with a membership of an even
dozen, with applications that will swell
the total to at least twenty before the
end of the present month. The Puritan
alleys have been engaged, on West Thir-
tieth street, near Eighth avenue, and
Monday evening has been selected, the
club bowling on New York Florists' Club
nights in the afternoons, the second Mon-
day of every month. The club dues are
$1 monthly and only members of the
New York Florists' Club are eligible to
membership. The officers are: Presi-
dent, S. S. Butterfield; treasurer, A. J.
Guttman ; secretary, J. A. Shaw ; captain,
Jos. Fenrich. All desirous of joining
the club are requested to be present at
the next meeting, on Monday evening.
Lunch is furnished weekly. The follow-

PITTSBURG.

The Market.

Trade has been holding up very well
this week, with the exception of one or
two days, which were a little quiet.
Chrysanthemums have the center of the
stage at present and were never more
plentiful or as good as this season. Berg-
mann, Pacific, Estelle and "Willowbrook
are about cut. Omega, Chalfant, October
Sunshine and White Robinson are now
on the board and are exceptionally fine.
The good ones command fair prices and
the poorer ones are sold very cheap.

Various Notes.

The Liberty Flower Market opened a
new flower stand in the Liberty Market.
The result was a stirring up of things in
general and a cutting down of prices, as
it is reported that carnations sold two
dozen for 25 cents and chrysanthemums
at 50 cents per dozen. Some say com-
petition is the life of trade, and it cer-
tainly had the e£^ect of making things
quite lively out that way.

Jos. E. Bonsall, of Salem, O., who
sold out his greenhouses and retail busi-
ness last spring, could not 'stand being
idle and put up a few houses just to
amuse himself, in which he is growing
mums and such stoek as will be cleaned
«at before the houses freeze up, as he has
not provided heat of any kind. When
they freeze up . he is going to lock the
doors and take his good wife for a pleas-
ure trip to Washington, D. C, Richmond,
Va., Old Point and finally to Florida to
finish the winter. He says there will be
no schedule, but just move about as the
humor takes them. Boys, that is what in-
dustry, honesty, strict integrity and thrift
will bring you if you work at it.

The wholesalers and retailers are
about to form bowling teams. They met
for the first practice on one of the local
alleys last Friday night and all seemed
full of enthusiasm about it. If this en-
thusiasm holds out and some of the boys
get over their curiosity about what the
holes are in the ball for, and find out
,that they do not need to throw the ball
MO that it will drop in the center of the
pine^ some of the eastern and western
friends will have to look to their laurels.

J. B. Murdoch & Co. are completing
a very fine refrigerator in their new store
9iid are making things look quite com-
fortable, as well as making quite a bid
for their share of the business.

T. M. Ulam & Co. had quite a rush the
latter part of the week in large funeral
designs. Tom is a hustler and usually
gets his share of the good things going
about.

The Blind boys, who recently changed
all the roads on their place so as to cut
out all grades and give the place a better
appearance, are finishing by erecting a
large bank bam.

Ernst Fischer, of Castle Shannon, has
bought a farm out on the Brownsville
road and will move his greenhouse plant
to the new location. Thus the PittM)urg
smoke drives the cut flower growers far-
ther out every year.

W. A. Clarke spent last Sunday at
Crystal farm, visiting Fred Burki. I
wish you could hear him enthuse.

Uncle John Wyland is cutting some
very fine carnations, which he is sending
to the Florists' Exchange.

P. H. Westhoflf, of Allison Park, is
«uttiDg some very fine carnations.

The Washington Floral Co., Washing-
ton, Pa., is consigning the Cut Flower
Co. some fine mums and carnations.

BALTIMORE.

"Mum" is now the word. The sup-
ply of white is considerably more than
the demand. Pink and yellow are less
plentiful and nearly all have been sold
up to date. Best Kalb, Willowbrook
and Estelle have been going at $1.50
per dozen, with smaller ones down to
$5 per hundred. Unless they begin to
move more freely in the next two days
the price will drop considerably. The
average quality of all varieties is good.
Caruatiops are about suflBcient to supply
the demand. Good roses are a little
scarce. At 6 o'clock Monday there was
nothing to be had at the Exchange ex-
cepting mums, every rose of every grade
having been sold. Callas and violets are

coming in limited quantity and not very
good yet. "Valley was sold by the street
men last Saturday at $1 per hundred,
violets, good ones, at 50 cents. It seems
to me the growers farther north must
be getting much less for stock than the
market price here, as the valley and
violets came from the north. Violets
are wholesaling here at 50 cents. There
are still a few outdoor flowers, but the
cool nights have a telling effect on
them.

There will be an exhibition of mums
at the next meeting of the Gardeners*
Club, Monday, October 25, 8 p. m. The
merits of the various varieties will be
discussed. A large attendance is ex-
pected. A. F.

Lansing, Mich. — G. H. Biley and Mrs.
Riley are both engaged in the business.
Mr. Riley grows lettuce for the local mar-
ket and Mrs. Riley grows carnations,
violets and a few mums. They have
just added two houses 14x80, intending
to try violets for the wholesale market.

Philadelphia, Pa. — John G. Eisele is
tearing down his nursery at Twentieth
street and Ontario avenue after thirty-
five years of activity in gro^ng a general
aesortment of plants and cut flowers for
his local and wholesale trade. Mr. Eisele
at one time was the owner of the whole
square of ground between Westmoreland
street and Ontario avenue and from Twen-
tieth street part way to Uber street.
Builders have gradually bought
sections of ' the ground and built
dwellings thereon until he is
hemmed in on all sides. Mr. Eisele
himself has built nine dwelling houses and
at present is building six more on Twen-
tieth street, below Bellevue street. He
claims there is more money in houses than
in growing plants at the present time.
Although very busy with his building op-
erations, Mr. Eisele is not retiring al-
together from the florists' business, as he
is now building an office and three green-
houses of about 3,000 feet of glass next
to his dwelling for the convenience of his
Tioga trade, which is quite extensive, and
also as he says to keep his mind occupied,
for he cannot be idle. Mr. Eisele also
has a city salesroom on Columbia avenue,
which is managed by his son.

Visited Chicago: — Lester C. Morse,
of Santa Clara, Cal.; D. L. Sloan, of Palo
Alto, Cal.

The fine weather of the past week has
added considerable to the standing seed
crops and has been of great benefit in
drying out crops that are ready to thresh.

The seed trade employees at Boston
have organized a bowling league, the
firms represented being Joseph Breck 4
Sons, W. W. Rawson & Co., R. & J.
Farquhar & Co. and Schlegel & Fottler
Co.

In the vicinity of Chicago a fine cron
of Hubbard squash has been harvested.
The bulk of it goes into the squash
houses to await an advance in the ton
price, which growers expect after Jan-
uary 1.

Commission men say the present
month has been the best October for
garden produce in many years. Cauli-
flower is especially abundant and the
quality of the heads is far above the
average.

J. W. Deal, of W. W. Johnson & Son,
Boston, England, is quoted as saying that
the black fly which attacked the broad
and longpod beans while in flower last
summer, made it one of the worst sea-
sons on record for these crops.

Owing to the exceedingly unfavorable,
enormously hot and dry weather during
the latter part of spring and throughout
the past summer, only once interrupted

— ^Horticultural Trade Journal.

The damage by wet weather to the
Michigan bean crop is not so serious
as was feared. The varieties that come
out damp after the threshing are not
molded and will, in all probability, make
good samples when hand-picked. The
shrinkage from hand-picking will be
heavy.

On October 12 the collector of cus-
toms at New York sold at auction 106
cases of Japanese longiflorum bulbs
which had been abandoned by the im-
porter. It is stated that they had ar-

poor, owing to the parching heat earlier. Ver-
benas are still doubtfnl, while phloxes are
fairly good. As before advised, nasturtiums
are very scarce, the combined attacks of Insects
and drought having practically destroyed tbe
plantations. As regards the plants grown on
stages, stocks and double wallflowers are not
quite so promising as last month, having suf-
fered considerably from the attentions of the
black fly.

Tbe greenhouse crops, begonias, gloxinia, cy-
clamen, calceolaria, cineraria, colens. etc.. have
mostly done well, while primulas are only giv-
ing moderate results. Pansies have only given
a middling crop, owing to the blooming season
having been cut short by the intense heat.
How the asters, our most Important field crop,
will turn out, is still uncertain, and all de-
pends on the weather we get during the next
few weeks; owing, however, to the bard con-
ditions the plants had to contend witb during
the period of development, it Is safe to say
that the crop will be much below average.

mnst be admitted that tbe general results are
better than any of our growers, during tbe
exceptionally hot and dry summer months,

MIXING SEEDS TO PRODUCE
GRADES.

Seedsmen distinguish the two methods of
producing grades as legitimate and illegitimate;
even those seedsmen who knowingly sell adul-
terated seeds admit that such a course is not
legitimate. On tbe other hand, mixing dif-
ferent grades is generally claimed by them to
be proper, and. indeed, often necessary if the
seedsman is to sell at a price his customers are
willing to pay. Mixing seeds of a high grade
with screenings clearly lowers its quality, and
this is evident to any one who carefully ex-
amines the sample, but they argue that no
Intentional deception Is ifractlced. although the
new grade may be well stocked witb weed
seeds. The seedsman who adds adulterants has,
however, a dlfTerent object In view. He wishes
to lower the cost of the seed to himself with-
out injuring Its appearance. Such seed is usa-
ally sold at a trifle below the market price
of the grade for which It Is offered, and Is an
injury to the legitimate trade as well as a
fraud on the buyer. Adulterated seed is com-
monly offered on sample, but Is sold usually to
those not suffldently Informed to detect the
deception.

The most freqnent adulterant is yellow tre-
foil, a great deal of which has been Imported

into this country, some of It nnder the name
of crimson clover. Most of this will doubtless
be used to adulterate red clover seed, since the
demand for trefoil seed is Insignificant. Tbe
plant, although a legume, is objectionable
in clover fields because It occupies ground that
could be more profitably given to the clover
plant and because It does not mature with tbe
clover. Tbe seed so closely resembles that of
red clover that as much as thirty per cent
can be mixed witb tbe latter without being de-
tected on casual examination. It la greenish
yellow in color, and is distinguished by a mi-
nute projection in the neighborhood of the scar
that marks the point of attachment of tbe
seed In the fruit. Another adulterant sometimes
used Is the seed of Hungarian grass. The
small seeds are used which in size closely ap-
proximate tbe clover. The dark color also read-
ily blends with high-grade clover seed and
enables the anscrupulous seller to offer apar-
ently good qualities at prices with which hon-
est dealers cannot compete. — A. J. Pieters, Dept.

V^etable Forcing.

LETTUCE.

The seaeon for indoor lettuce will soon
be in full swing and preparations should
already be under way to meet the de-
■land. Attention should be paid to keep-
ing the plants growing freely and suc-
eessional sowings should be made as re-
qaired, this, of course, being regulated
by the demand or the space at command.
Time is gained and the returns con-
■iderably increased by systematic prepa-
TBtion of the plants, so that as soon as
one crop is cut good-sized plants are
ready to take the place. In this way
at least four crops can be matured in
the one season, as the plants need not
occupy the benches longer than six weeks.
It does not pay to keep the benches wait-
ing for the plants to attain sufficient
site before they can be filled. For the
bringing on of the plants I prefer to use
flats. They can be pricked over into a
bench, successfully grown on and trans-
planted when large enough, but in the
flats they are easier handled, the soil
dries out better and if the space where
they are standing is required they can
easily be removed wherever desired.

In sowing the seed it is best to sow
rather thinly, so that the plants will be
. 'a nice size for handling before they be-
begin to get crowded. It is, however, es-
sential that the grower be sure of the
germinating qualities of his seed, so that
be will know just how thick to sow. It is
of the utmost importance that the seed
' be fresh. Though lettuce seed will retain
its germ for three or four years, old seed
comes away slowly and weakly plants are
produced. These weak plants take much
longer to get under way and need consid-
erable coaxing to get them into a healthy,
free growing state. So, if old seed is in
stock, for all that it costs to procure new,
it is poor policy to use it. We hear a
good deal about seedsmen mixing the
. old and new seed. It may be practiced
in some cases, but having had some con-
■ection with the seed business at one
■ time, I know for a fact that no reliable,
established firm would stake its reputa-
tion and run the risk of losing trade by
stooping to such tactics and that such
. inns put themselves to a good deal of
expense and trouble to insure the quality
and reliability of the stock they handle.
Cheap seed is dear at any price and I
would warn every buyer to beware of the
. bargain counter article.

After the plants are large enough to
handle they should be pricked over, being
placed about two inches apart each way.
The soil used should be of a free, friable
nature, and only moderately enriched
with well rotted manure. If too much
aianure is used the plants will not take
so kindly to it and heavy soil dries out
too slowly to promote free root* action.
Water rather sparingly to keep rather
on the dry side at first, but increase
the supply as the plants attain sufficient
size to absorb it. Care must always be
exercised that an over-supply of water
is not given to avoid souring of the soil
and insure quick growth and healthy
plants.

Begarding temperature, although the
seed may be started at a rather higher
llgnre than is suitable for the after
growth, as soon as the little plants are
op they should be removed to a temper-
ature not exceeding 45 degrees at night

or 65 degrees by day. Under such condi-
tions they will grow faster and make
much nicer planta than if grown at a
higher temperature. W. S. Ceoydon.

TORONTO.

Trade during the last week has been
good, demand far exceeding supply in
nearly all lines. Chrysanthemums are
coming in slowly in comparison to the
demand but we expect by the end of
the present week the supply will be up
to, if not exceeding, the demand, as
there is apparently a big supply of chrys-
anthemums in this section. Carnations
are very tardy; while stock is good, sup-
ply is very limited. Roses are showing
up better and, with the advent of a few
nice warm days, the supply has increased
so as to leave no shortage in that line.

Retail men without exception say that
business is equal to and in many cases
exceeds last year, notwithstanding the
fact that our federal elections are warm-
ing up to fever heat and this usually has
considerable effect on all class of trade.

A UTTLE KNOWN ROSE,

Though but little known, the rose Sou-
venir de Philemon Cochet is certainly a
very attractive variety of Rosa rugosa,
not a cross between this species and som«
other kind as Madame Georges Bruant
ani Mrs. Anthony Waterer are, for neith-
er of these two last has the characteris-
tic leafage of the true Rosa rugosa,
which constitutes much of its charm,
such, for instance, as that borne by the
pure white semi-double flowered variety,
Blanche Double de Coubert. From this
last the variety Souvenir de Philemon
Cochet diflfers in the flowers being of an
ivory white rather than a pure white
tint, while they are also much more dou-
ble, indeed, the duplex character is more
pronounced in the case of this variety
than in any other true rugosa that the
writer is acquainted with. Despite the
fact that Rosa rugosa and its forms are
now well known, their merits, I think,
are scarcely enough recognized, for they
are all of good, sturdy habit, forming
neat specimens without any trouble, and
flower for a long time, while their foliage
throughout the season and their fruits in
the autumn are second to no other rose.
Added to this they thrive even in smoky
districts, where many varieties fail.
Such, in short, are the points in favor of
Rosa rugosa, whose sturdy habit and
formidable spines render it an effective
hed^ plant. Seedlings, especially of the
single kinds, are readily raised. — Gar-
deners' Magazine.

BITTER-ROT OF APPLES.

The bitter-rot or ripe-rot of apples,
sometimes called anthracnose, is a dis-
ease well known wherever the apple is
cultivated, and the fungus which pro-
duces it has probably been known since
1854. The damage caused by bitter-rot
in America is very great. In 1900 it was
estimated that the loss in four counties
of Illinois was $1,500,000. The president
of the National Apple Shippers' Asso-
ciation estimated the damage to the apple
crop in the United States in 1900 from
bitter-rot alone to be $10,000,000. "One
of the best methods for combating the
disease will consist, during the winter,
in carefully cutting out all cankers
which should be burned at once. All dis-
eased apples on the ground or on the
tree should be collected and destroyed. As
a further precaution, trees should be
sprayed with standard Bordeaux mixture
at least once before the buds open, and
again frequently from midsummer until
the fruit is almost ripe." — Gardeners'

Various Matters of Interest.

Last week was the very reverse of
what the poets say we should expect in
this lovely month of October. It was
dark, gloomy, sloppy and chilly and
business was of the same complezioD.
But a great change has occurred and
business awoke with the bright min. Of
course, it is all mums, and welcome they
were. Kalb, Midge and Polly Rose give
us all the white we want and Halliday
and Omega are at their best. Glory of
Pacific has to do for pink, but there is
room for a good early bright pink. Speak-
ing of chrysanthemums, we called on
William Ehmann, of Corfu, a few days
ago and found he had 25,000 mums
looking very fine. All the leading com-
mercial varieties are represented. A fine
bed of Golden Wedding, free from mil-
dew and rust, promises great things.
Nothing like it, when it can bo grown
right. Harry Fishel, once a carnation
man, is so in love with chrysanthemums
that he has planted all four of his
houses with them and is going Into the
rooted cutting business. D. J. Scott
has a bench 7x125 entirely filled with
the newer varieties. He must have bis
eye on the Meldrum show, and from
stoutness of stem and size and substance
of foliage there are ^ely to be some
large flowers. Charles rhelps has rented
the houses of Mrs. Tyrrell lately va-
cated by Lerov Adams.

Last week we lost one of our oldest
florists, James Milley, of Masten street.
Mr. Milley was 70 years of age. Bom
in England, he came to this country
forty-two years ago. For some years
he had charge of the beautiful grounds,
greenhouses and graperies of Myron P.
Bush on our glorious Delaware avenue.
This place was for years famous for the
superb order in wluch Mr. Milley kept

both grounds and houses, but this model
place, like so many established in Buf-
falo's early days, has passed away.
Twenty-five years ago Mr. Milley bought
vacant property on Masten street and
erected five substantial houses, which,
with the assistance of his sons, Wm. B.
and John Milley, have been devoted to
cut flowers in winter and market plants
in spring. John Milley is at present
with S. N. Pentecost, of Cleveland. One
by one the old landmarks pass away, as
it was in the beginning and ever shall
be.

For several weeks I have quite for-
gotten to mention that on September
28 there entered into holy matrimony
David J. Scott and Edith Brown. As
the writer was present, I heard them
promise each other all sorts of things
and I really believe they will be kept
better than the average. The chief
mourners present were the parents and
grandparents, brothers, sisters, aunts and
cousins of the martyrs. A carriage ride
of eleven miles on a dark road was un-
dertaken to escape rice and hideous
noise from the village youth, and now
all is peace and bliss, and may it ever
remain so. 'W. S.

DES MOINES, L\.

There has been very little glass added
this season. Most of the growers are
only repairing what they have. J. , F.
Marshall has torn down one house and
replaced it with a larger and more sub-
stantial one, using Garland gutters and
iron posts. His carnations are in extra
fine shape.

Peter Lambert left on October 18 for
St. Louis and the World's Fair, and
from there goes to Germany with his
youngest son, Frank, who is to remain
two or three years to finish his educa-
tion in the old world. The elder Lam-
bert will visit his brother and return
in a couple 6f 'months.

The parks are looking fine in their au-
tumn attire. The hard maple is the
finest coloring we ever saw. A new
greenhouse is being built at Union park,
thus giving them more room to grow for
the entire park system of the city.

Mums are in, but of poor quality, be-
ing cut before they are ripe.

There is some talk of organising a
bowling team and practicing tnis winter,
but as yet we are not in shapo to report
our score. J, p. D. F.

WITH MICHIGAN GROWERS.

During the past week I spent a few
days in Michigan, visiting some of the
greenhouse plants there, and was greatly
impressed with the number of houses,
also the general appearance of prosper-
ity that was plainly in evidence.

On the way I stopped at Toledo and
visited Geo, Bayer's plant, and a very
good one it is. His houses, which are
750 feet long, are well worth seeing.
Miss Winters, who has charge of the
growing, also the retail trade, is one of
the few lady growers in this country
and the neatness and general excellent
quality of the stock grown shows how
well she has everything in hand. Chrys-
anthemums and carnations are the main
crop grown. The mums are followed by

lettuce and that by tomatoes, making
a succession of very paying crops.

At Grand Rapids there are green-
houses and more greenhouses, many of
which are used for growing lettuce. We
are all acquainted with Geo. F. Crabb.
I visited both of his plants and his
prospects are good for a very prosperous
year. At his new place be has been
handicapped by difficulty in procuring
glass, so planting was delayed and stock
is backward in consequence, but it is on
the move now. At his down-town place
some very good stock was being cut.

The Grand Rapids Violet Co. has an
excellent plant and their Beauties would
be hard to beat. They also grow a great
many mums, which are rapidly develop-
ing.

The Wealthy Avenue Floral Co. grows
mostly for the retail trade. Their houses
contain an assortment of stock, all in
very nice shape.

Henry Smith took me out to his place
in the country. Besides the greenhouse
business he is largely interested in the
growing of fruit. He has a large num-
ber of greenhouses and the stock is all
looking good, and well advanced. There
is a considerable variety of stock grown
to supply this retail store, which I am
told does the largest business ' in the
city.

Chas. Chadwick is situated pretty far
in the country but is well located for
the growing business. He has a very
good sized plant and is now going large-
ly into the growing of roses, especially
Beauty, also carnations and chrysanthe-
mums. He was installing a large 150
horsepower boiler. His prospects for
the season are fine and care will produce
some fine stock. His new retail store
is very nicely fitted up and doing a
good business.

I was very sorry that I could not
visit the Park Floral Co., also Eli Cross.
The former firm is growing a large num-
ber of mums and they are of fine quality.
After the mums are cut out lettuce
takes the place.

Kalamazoo, besides its fame for celery,
also boasts some first rate greenhouse
plants. Samuel Batson is the proprietor
of a very neat plant devoted to carna-
tions mainly, wnich showed great care
and ability. Baby primrose is also
grown here in fine shape. Mr. Batson
kindly escorted me to the other plants
about the city.

At the Central Michigan Nursery Co.
plant Mr. Smith, who is in charge,
showed us about. A general line of
stock is grown and was doing nicely.
Mr. Cook is in charge at the retail store.

G. Van Bochove i.Bro. have a large
range of glass and the stock is in fine
shape. Every plant is clean and healthy
and showed the skill and care of those
in charge. This firm does a very large
retail business besides a good wholesale
trade.

A firm that has just "erected a range
of glass is Grofvert & De Smith. They
grow carnations almost exclusively and
were the best that I saw anywhere. Mr.
Grofvert, who is the grower, is a young
man and with his ability as a grower,
which shows in his stock, he has a great
future before him. C. J. O.

SAN FRANdSCX).

The Market

September rains still continue and our
unusual climatic conditions have knocked
the retail florists' business into a
cocked hat. Chrysanthemums are be-
ing offered in enormous quantities
at almost any price. If the weather
were more favorable there would
be a possibility that the stores
could handle a fair per cent of the flow-
ers offered. Major Bonnaffon as fine as
it is possible to imagine them can be had
as low as $2 per hundred and good whites
at half that price. For smaller flowers
it is useless to give quotations, as they
do not bring any more than the florist
feels like offering. These prices, of
course, are for outdoor stock, and grow-
ers whp had the misfortune not to have
had any extra early stock, but are har-
vesting their blooms now, will not be
able to get remunerative prices. During
the past week I have inspected over a
dozen of the largest growing establish-
mqnts and the crops are in the pink of
condition.

With carnations we have an abundance
and, although the stems are rather short,
the flowers are good. Prices have de-
clined somewhat. Enchantress is being
offered in fair quantity, and it is one
of the best sellers.

There is a momentary lull in the de-
mand for roses. We have quantities of
Brides and Maids offered and unless the
quality is extra they can be had at the
buyer's price. Lilium longiflorum costs
the stores $1.50 per dozen, and although
the stems are rather weak, the flowers are
good. Late blooming amaryllis and
tuberoses help to make up a variety, and
valley remains in fair supply and fair
demand.

Regarding business, funeral orders are
not as lively as they were a week ago,
but we have an occasional wedding dec-
oration to console us. The prospects are
good for the fall trade if the clerk of the
weather can arrange so that we will have
a few days' sunshine.

Varioos Notes.

N". Synacopulos, the well-known Oak-
land florist, has placed his store in the
hands of his nephew and will devote his
time to the decorations of the cars of
the Pullman Co., the contract for the
taking care of which he has for the
coming season.

P. J. McDonnell, of Alden, is cutting
some extra fine Estelle at present. 6.

A PECULIAR SEASON.

The unusii'al rains in the vicinity of
San Francisco for the past two weeks
have changed our season somewhat. Nar-
cissi are almost ready to bloom and daf-
fodil bulbs have made quantities of
roots. This is not alone due to the
rainfall, but to the unusually warm
weather that followed it. If we were
sure of an absence of frost for two
months to come it would be possible to
harvest our crop of narcissi and early

daffodils without any loss. But seasons
such as we are having at present are
usually followed by heavy frost and dry
northeast winds and I have seen many
acres of bulbs completely destroyed be-
cause they were started growing too early
in the winter season, either by rainfall
or artificial watering.

A new but probably short lease of life
has been offered our outdoor stock such
as gaillardias, coreopsis, dahlias and cos-
mos and we are cutting better flowers
than I ever remember seeing at this time
of year in California.

With hard-wooded nursery stock the
effect was much the same, although I do
not consider these unusual late rains of
any value. Eoses have commenced to
make a soft growth such as we see in
the early spring and when our season ar-
rives for transplanting them, consider-
able pruning will be necessary to keep
them in a hardy, dormant condition. I
have seen dozens of cherry and plum
trees in bloom and this is nothing in
their favor, as our heavy frosts of No-
vember, December and January are
bound to cut them badly.

We have a habit in California
of whitewashing our greenhouse glass
generally about the first of May, and as
we usually have no rain until the follow-
ing November we allow the wash to re-
main the entire summer. But several of
our largest growers have had to re-white-
wash half a dozen times within the past
month, as stock that has been grown in
shaded houses will not stand this fiery
sun 's rays that have been visited upon us
between our September and October
showers.

Although not strictly in the line of
the florists and nurserymen I might men-
tion that many thousands of dollars'
worth of damage has been done to the
raisin, prune and other dried-fruit in-
dustries, to say nothing about the hun-
dreds of tons of wheat still in the fields.

Although in the parlance of the grow-
er this makes what is termed a "long
season," I have not noticed that such
seasons are always desirable, as the Cali-
fornia public from time immemorial do
not begin to place their orders with the
growers much before the first of Decem-
ber and we are liable to have a few
weeks of dry spell during that month to
make up for the superabundance of rain
now. However, a little extra water is
preferable to not quite enough, and we
may have a record-breaking season after
all. G.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

OCTOBEB 20, 190i.

ROCHESTER, N. Y.

For so early in the season business
may be considered quite active; at any
rate it is not always an easy task to
procure the necessary stock to fill orders,
our home supply being especially short.
Oamations are unusually scarce, for some
unknown reason. The growers lost a
good many plants from stem-rot, as it
was such a wet, cold season, and had to
have plants shipped in to fill the houses.
It will take these growers some time to
get their stock into bloom, which in part
accounts for the light supply at present.
The market now is $1.50 to $2.50 per
hundred, Enchantress bringing the latter
figure. Roses are bringing from $1 to
$6 per hundred. Chrysanthemums are
now available and find ready sale.

H. Merritt, at Irondoquoit, has had a
good cut of carnations this fall, his
Enchantress being especially good. H.
E. Wilson takes his entire cut.

N. James reports business good, espe-
cially funeral work. His carnations are
in fine shape and give promise of excel-
lent crops. Iif.

up again. Carnations and mums are fine.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

OCTOBEB 20, 1804.

WKT GROVE, PA.

Had Mr. Conner and Phil, when they
came out from Philadelphia recently,
had a little more time they would have
found three establishments each of
about 7,000 feet of glass, where cut
flowers and plants are grown well enough
to be interesting.

Benjamin Connell grows ferns in
quantity and with great success; also
violets and carnations for cut flowers.

Boney Bros, grow bedding plants and
carnations, their red seedling carnation,
an improved Portia, being especially in-
teresting. They also have a house of
tomatoes, an improved Lorillard.

J. Morris Cooper is an extensive
grower of mushrooms, but has consid-
erable glass in carnations, three-fourths
of his glass being devoted to his new
scarlet seedling not yet disseminated but
very promising. G. r.

CADILLAC, MICH.

An illustrated edition of the Cadillac
News and Express gives a sketch and
portrait of A. W. Tweedie and a
sketch of the brief career of Kleinhans
& Mason, with a picture of their new
place. The members of this firm came to
Cadillac from Ithaca only last May.
They have put up 4,500 feet of glass, a
residence and an office. They have heat-
ing facilities for more glass, which they
expect to put up next spring. At pres-
ent they have to send out of town for
roses and a large part of their other
stock.

A. W. Tweedie has been in business
five years and has a well-kept place.
Besides a large business in cut flowers
and plants he does a nice trade in shrubs
and other hardy stock, a profitable fea-
ture that many florists overlook.

Springfield, Mass. — Osterman &
Steele have opened a new flower store at
137 State street.

Colorado Springs, Colo.— William
Henry Evans proposes to add largely to
his glass area early next spring.

YouNGSTOWN, O.— Joseph Shaefer died
bf heart failure October 13. He was 77
years of age. His greenhouses were a
well known source of supply for bedding
stock, etc.

A GOOD FERTILIZER.

The stems and atoeks of tobacco whi(?h
are waste products in manufactures are
rich in potash. They contain from six
to seven per cent of potash and about two
per cent nitrogen, with about one-half
of one per cent of phosphoric acid. It
thus could reaJly be termed a complete
fertilizer in itself. For best results the
stems should be finely ground before ap-
plication. H. J. Patterson.

NERINES.

This is one of the most beautiful
greenhouse bulbs we have. It is quite
easy to grow, and anyone with a cool
house ought not to be without it. It
is quite distinct from the amaryllis, and
quite the reverse in its growth, as it
makes its growth in winter. The bulbs
can be purchased in August just as the
flower-spike is about to appear. These
should be potted in a nice open com-
post, two parts good loam, one of leaf
soil, and a dash of sand. They are bulbs
that do not require to be potted very of-
ten, for the less they are disturbed the
better they like it. After they have done
flowering and if they are making plenty
of growth they should be frequently wa-
tered with manure water so as to get a
good strong bulb for the following year.
By the end of April or early in May the
foliage will begin to turn yellow, which
is a sign they are going to rest, and wa-
ter should be gradually withheld. After
the foliage has all died down, they should
be stood in a cold frame in the full sun
so as to ensure a good ripening. They
are propagated by ofTset-, and these
should be grown on under the same treat-
ment as established bulbs, or they can
be grown from seed, but this, of course,
is a long process, as in most cases with
bulbs. Some of the best species are N.
Fothergilli, N. sarniensis, N. sarniensis
corusca, N. Plantii, and K. rosea. A lot
has been done of late years to bring them
to the front by hybridizing, and these
in many cases surpass the species both
in size and color. Some of the best are
Countess Bathurst, Lady Lawrence, Lady
Lucy Hicks-Beach, Lady Mary Shelley,
and Miss Wilmott. Nerines last in bloom
a long time and are very useful for dec-
orative purposes; and without a doubt
they are one of the best classes of the
South African bulbs.— Gardeners' World.

The Market

There is not a great deal of life in
business, but a great deal of stock is be-
ing disposed of. Prices, even on the best
grade of stock, are not as high as grow-
■ers would like to see them. We have
had several slight frosts but a heavy one
is what we need tO put business on a
good footing.

Chrysanthemums now hold the boards
and all other flowers have to take a back
seat, more or less. There are very few
orders for mums now that cannot be
filled and there are some varieties that
have to be pushed pretty hard to make
them move. Pink, white and yellow va-
rieties are now to be had, but as yet
nothing in the fancy varieties is coming
in.

Eoses are coming very nicely. The
percentage of good stock is much larger.
There is not so much mildew and the
general appearance is much better. Beau-
ties are in larger supply and of better
•quality. Some very good Perles are com-
ing, which sell well in this market. Car-
nations, too, are increasing in quantity
and improving in quality. A few dahlias
and gladioli are still seen, also cosmos.

Violets are a glut and have to be
moved for almost nothing to get rid of
them. It is still too early for this flower
to do well in this market. Harrisii, cal-
las and valley are in moderate supply
and sell well.

Various Notes.

The committee in charge of the trip
to the E. G. Hill plant at Richmond re-
port October 27 as the day selected. Mr.
Hill writes that the mums vrill be just
right then. A good crowd is expected
to go via the C. C. & T. R. R., leaving
at 7:55 a. m. This is over the new road
to Richmond, and besides giving those
•who gq a chance to see another part of
Indiana it gives a. longer time in Rich-
mond. As it requires ten in the party
to procure reduced rates we want all
who possibly can to go with us. The
trip will surely be worth while.

J. A. Peterson is disposing of a lot of
plants and palms at auction with consid-
erable success.

Chas. Jones and Mr. Brooks are mak-
ing preparations to open a retail store in
Avondale. This is a very thriving
suburb and already has two stores that
are doing good business.

Mrs. Sherman Thomas, of Fort Thom-
as, has gone to Kansas City to visit her
parents.

K. Partridge, of Lockland.

We have found them flrst-class, the best we
ever used for glazing. — E. G. Hill Co., Bicb-

I bave used all the different kinds of points
on the market. I consider yours the most
reliable, handy, easy to drive, easy to ex-
tract.— Chas. Scrim, Ottawa, Canada.

I must say your Zinc Points have given
great satisfaction. I have over 125 lbs. oo
my bouses, and feel Justified in stating they
are the best point on the market. — W. K.
Partridge, Lockland, O.

In our 26 years' experience with glazing
points of all kinds, your Zinc Points are the
best to date. — Grant-Wilson Floral Co., Cleve-
land, O.

We think they are the best things we have
ever used to hold glass on greenhouses.—
W. A. Hammond, Richmond, Va.

They have outlasted all others used, there-
fore are better and cheaper. — Theo. F. Beck-

The first lot we had from you two years ago
are still holding their own, and intend to do
so for years to come. They are "fine as silk."
— Butz Brothers, New Castle, Pa.

We never used anything for the purpose
that has given such good satisfaction. — Phoenix
Nursery Co., Bloomlngton, 111.

I can truthfully say your Zinc Points are
the best I ever used. They are easily driven
and withdrawn and are stiff. Being straight
on one side, they can be driven accurately;
consequently the breakage of glass is very
small. I bave some in use four years, and
they are still in place as good as new. — W.

without cost to prove its GOODNESS and our assertion that it was the most effective^ cleanest and
quickest^ as well as cheapest (tO cents per fOO-foot house) article to fumigate with, and that all kinds of
aphis can be killed in one night* Let us send you a five-pound trial bag by express^ it will cost you
nothing but the express charges on it» and be convinced that what your brother growers say of it is
true. Our booklet tells of it; we mail it on request.

HAMMOND'S SLUG SHOT
For Sow Bugs!

TESTIMONIAIi : - We were slmpjy being
eaten up with sow bugs and could find nothing
that would kill them off half as fast as they in-
creased until about a year ago, when we tried
Hammond's Slug Shot, and to-day our houses
are almost clean of them and we have used less
than 200 lbs. in eight greenhouses. That Slug
Shot is good. Respectfully.

CAPAQTY OF BOILER.

I have a horizontal return tubular
boiler for steam. It is ten feet long,
forty-two inches wide and contains
thirty-seven 3-inch tubes, with grate
surface 42x48. We burn slack coal.
How many 1-inch pipes 175 feet long
should it heatf How large should the
main be where it leaves the boiler?
How large the return where it enters!

J. M. K.

The boiler described, if properly set
and provided with good draught, should,
when working to full capacity, supply
steam for 2,500 square feet of radiation.
To provide this a 4-inch riser will be
required. The boiler should therefore
te tapped for 4-inch pipe. The return,
if made 2-inch, will be ample, although
it is usual to find a 3-inch flange on the
return if the flow is 4-inch. To get
2,560 feet of radiation would require
7,400 feet of 1-inch pipe. If long risers
and returns are necessary the area of
radiation in these should be computed
and deducted from the 2,500 and the
number of linear feet of 1-inch pipe
computed on the basis of the radiation
remaining after deducting the area in
the flows and returns from the 2,560.
If the risers and returns are short
forty-two 1-inch pipes 175 feet long
can be cared for by the boiler. This
is computed on the assumption that
steam under five pounds pressure is to
be used. L. C. C.

The Weekly Florists' Review,

U07

A VIBW IN OMK CORNER OF THE FLOWER GROWERS' MARKET, S8-60 WABASH AVE.. CHICAGO.

(OTHER VIEWS WILL BE SHOWN IN LATER ISSUES.)

»

B3HE MODERN way calls for the fewest possible handlfng;s of cut flowers^ and it was to provide a
J J place where producers and buyers misfht sfet tos:ether in closest touch that the Flower Growers'
^^ G>mpanyt ChicagfOt was incorporated in (902 and the present Market opened. Did you ever visit
it? It's worth your while to do so; doubly worth your while if you are either a gfrower or a buyer.

Here are assembled each momtng; some forty larg^e gfrowers of cut flowers and plants (or their
representatives) with their stocks, in the ag:gfreg:ate very much more than comes into any other whole-
sale establishment in the west.

And there the buyers come in crowds ; the Market is the first morning; stop of nine out of every
ten city buyers, not because of the g^reat variety of stock offered, thoug^h it embraces everything: to be
had anywhere else and many thingfs not to be had elsewhere; not because of the assured freshness of
the stock, all sold out clean each day; not because of lower prices, for current Chicag:o rates, closely reg:-
ulated by supply and demand, must necessarily gfovern; but because here, and here only, the buyer
meets the producer face to face, where each comes to know the other, to understand, one what the other
needs, the other at which stand those needs cap best be supplied.

Here the producer finds that unless the retailer is treated well and always gfiven stock on which
he can make a profit there can be no permanent prosperity. And here, too, the buyer learns to tie to
the producer on whose stock he can depend.

BEGINNINGS

IN DESIGN...

THE THREE LINKS.

A Simple But Difficult Design.

The design here presented is simple
«nough in plan, but not so easy of exe-
cution. It is necessarily made on a thin
"frame, if on a frame at all, and, with
many stems crowded into this limited
«pace, it is difficult to finish the surface
fimoothly and regularly. With this end
in view, stem the carnations quite short
and pay particular attention to the wrap-
ping. Have a bunch of wire cut about
an inch longer than is usually required
and give them a longer as well as a
tighter wrapping. In filling this narrow
outline frame much of the workers com-
fort depends upon how tightly the sphag-
num is packed in. There is more danger
of its being too tight than too loose.
The best test is to fill one link with
sphagnum and then insert the flowers
■for a short distance on the top and two»
-sides and see how they hold. If they
hold firmly enough, or whether it requires
too hard work to insert them or whether
the calyxes or picks break in your at-
tempt at inserting. With a few practice
trials of this kind you will soon be able
to judge in advance as to how hard your

frame if inserted lengthwise two or
three deep. Some of them are strong
enough in the stem to be inserted with-
out picks. Many/ times in other places
flowers and f oluige are strong enough
and sharp enough to be pushed into the
sphagnum without stemming. Clear the
lower end of the stem of spines, foliage,
or branches, and insert quickly and firm-
ly. Well-grown chrysanthemums, roses,
carnations, well-matured fern fronds,
either kind of asparagus, and many
stems of wood^NStructure will stand alone
in the moss. Orten the only hindrance is
the blunt stem ekd. A single shave with
a sharp knife will sharpen them suffi-
ciently for this purpose.

The coloring in this piece is what
keeps the links distinct. The more strik-
ing the contrast, the more decidedly will
the design be developed. Watch the car-
rying of the color carefully where the
links cut eaoh other. The center link
should be cut twice by' the intersecting
links, and each of the others but once.

Trimming the Links.

The peculiarity of trimming in this
design is the-series of rosettes upon the
top edges/of the two extreme links. Stem
on one pick two or three pink or white

links only, the purpose being to preserve
the balance.

Another good way of making links is
to construct a solid panel, preferably
rectangular or oval in shape, of any suit-
able background material and trace the
links in the center with either a single or
double line of carnations or other similar
flowers, as the case may require. Then
whatever trimming is used should be kept
well away from the links and be in light
lines and contrasting colors.

Other color combinations for the de-
sign herewith illustrated: One crimson,
one light pink, one white link, the colors
arranged in the order named: yellow,
green and white; purple, light pink or
lavender and white. Gertrude Blair.

OUTSIDE COMPETITION.

There are a great many retail florists
who think the latania is a thing of the
past. They say that of aJl palms it is
the slowest seller and they refuse to buy
even at prices which are below the cost
of production to the growers. The re-
sult is that in a number of big ranges of
glass where the latania once flourished
it is seen no more, the space being given
to kentias and arecas. But the idea that
the latania cannot be sold is a mistake.
There is a greater demand for them than
can be supplied. The department stores
all over the country are looking for 4 and
5-inch latanias. They will pay a better
price than the florist will — often he
won't buy at any price — and will sell
thousands, sometimes at cost, for an ad-
vertisement, but usually at a profit of
fifteen to twenty per cent. Of course
these special sales are not always to the

The Tliree Links of the Odd Felloj^ Middle Link Pink Carnations, Ends White.

moss filling should be to meet the pe-
culiar needs of each design.

Filling the Frame.

The middle link of this Odd Fellows'
'design is filled on top and on both inside
and outside edges. In this case it is
made of Joost carnations. The two end
links are of white carnations filled on
top and on the outside edge of the frame.
The inside edge is covered with wood
ferns, not the whole frond, but sections
out, each having its own stem and two
opposite leaflets. They are just wide
enough to line the inside edge of the

roses, in length from one to four inches,
with a suggestion^ of foliage. Insert so
that the cluster lies flat on tlje carnation
background. Insert a simila? cluster in
the opposite direction, joining immediate-
ly upon the stem end of the flrst. See
that sufficient space is left between the
rosettes so that they will not run one into
another. Watch that the roses which
have decidedly- curved stems lie on the
curved parts of the link, thus falling in
line harmoniously without breaking the
outline of the design. On'account of the
heavier appearance of the center link the
rosette trimming is kept on the outside

liking of the florist in the vicinity —
though he can usually duplicate the stock
and the prices if he will — but no more
does he like the department store's Sat-
urday special sale of cut flowers. Some
of the department stores are using im-
mense quantities of cut flowers for spe-
cial sales. Thfy usually refuse to pay
over $15 per thousand for roses or $10
for carnations. The florist can get these
prices on thousand lots whenever the de-
partment store can. Spend a few dollars
in advertising in the local ' newspaper
and the terrors of depanment store
competition will vanish.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

CARNATION NOTES.-EAST.

Mulching.

The question of mulching at this time
of year depends upon circumstances, or,
rather, conditions decide whether or not
it is advisable this early to mulch at
all. If the soil was of proper quality
at the time of filling the bench and care-
ful cultivation, watering, etc., kept up
since, there is not need of much fertilizer,
as comparatively little food elements
have been taken up by the plants.

It is well to remember that field-
grown plants in the vigor of health have
much energy stored up within and in
their efforts to become established in
their new quarters draw upon this stored
energy. This is obvious when it is con-
sidered that in lifting the delicate feed-
ing roots are disarranged or broken off
and rendered useless for the time be-
ing. This time varies in the different

varieties and must be considered in cater-
ing to the needs of each.

Prom the fact that little food is re-
quired by the plants during the period
of reestablishmeni, it has seemed advis-
able to add to the bench soil at thfe start
but a small quantity of bone meal, ap^y-
ing later at intervals in such amounts as
are needed, thus making it possible also
to give ea^ variety the special attention
its peculiarities demand. Then, too, a
mulch tends to prevent air from enter-
ing the soil and the sun fr«im plaj^ng
on the surface. We need alt~~flie sun
possible at this time and as the days
grow short, so the amount of sunlight
grows less.

So, then, instead of mulches, I would
advise light top dressings of a mixture
of soil and bone, occasionally substi-
tuting hardwood ashes for the bone.

In the case of stock grown under glass
all summer the method of proceeding
would be diflferent, but will treat of this
later. Geo. S. Osborn.

'MISCELLANEOUS
SEASONABLE HINTS.

r1

Variety the G>ndiinent

We are now in the first flush of the
glorious chrysanthemum season and will
revel in it, in all its varied forms, for
another month, and then will come dark
weather and roses and carnations will
assert themselves. And there are others.
Variety is the spice of life. This is
true intellectually as well as in the
grosser needs of men, and so it is in
flowers, for those who can constantly en-
joy the luxury of their presence. The
wonder is that our patrons are satisfied
with the meager variety that is offered.

Paper ^hite Narcissus.

If there is any money in this pretty
.flower at any time it most assuredly is
at the holiday season. There are times
when we can get along without it, but
at Christmas it is invaluable. I mention
this now so that the Christmas crop can
be brought into the houses at once. You
can force out this early flowering bulb
in a short time in a strong heat, but that
is not the way to do it. Give it seven
or eight weeks in a night temperature
of 50 to 55 degrees and the flowers will
be larger, the stem stouter and the stock
in every way of better quality than those
forced in a higher temperature in half
the time.

Don't think that down on the ground
alongside the paths is good enough for
the narcissus. It must have the fullest
light, and it's worth it, and if all the
flowers are fully out a few days before
they are cut, so much the better, for
the flats can be removed to a very cool
house to their advantage. With a poor
light these bulbs seem to grow all to
leaves, with small flowers. In the full-
est light the opposite is the case.

Roman Hyacinths.

We usually commence cutting Komans
by the middle of November. Very early
forcing requires a strong heat, but as the
season advances less heat is needed. I

think for the retailer that Komans pay
best to have a few flats in bloom dur-
ing every week they are available. Yet
Christmas, of course, demands an extra
lot and these should be given plenty of
time, for size, quality and durability of
the spikes will be much superior if given
light and moderate temperature over
those unduly forced. Don 't say you can 't
afford proper bench room for these bulbs,
for, considering the short time a crop oc- '
cupies a bench and the amount of bloom
you cut, the space required is very small.

Sweet Peas.

As admitted before this, we failed for
year^^ to pick sweet peas before Easter,
simply because we allowed bottom growth
to spring up and smother, the original
growth that would have given us flow-
ers at Christmas. In many places the ,
pots of sweet peas will be put on the
bench immediately the early mums are
removed. Some growers may have so\^h
them where they will flower. In any'
case keep the strong growth that will
start from the lower eyes Carefully picked
off, also all lateral growth. From the
time they are cut of the ground until
you pick flowers the vine should be en-
couraged to keep growing straight up, for
it is when the vines are allowed to drop
over that a stronger growth from the
base of the plant is encouraged^ as in
so many of our other plants. 1^ •

There is nothing better thftfl a (»eap,
coarpe string for the vines to "climj/^on
and 50 degrees at night is fhigh enotfgh,
with the fullest light you can gife~them.
Four or five inches of soil is enough and
headroom of six feet. A deeper soil
may keep them longer in bloom, but
a succession of crops is better than old
vines. Sow again in a week or two, for
a February picking. ^^

Gardenias. ^

It is rather out of season to say any-
thing about that most fragrant flower.

the gardenia. It is likely to be the faci
this winter in some fashionable communi-
ties. You can offer no criticism for ad-
miration of these delicious flowers, a
miniature camellia with a delightful
odor. I saw some splendidly grown
plants a few days ago. They were in
6-inch or 7-inch pots, with their glossy
toliage as fresh and green, and perhaps
more so,, as they could be seen in Florida
or Alabama. Cultivation in pots is not
what the commercial man would give.
Planting out on a well-drained bench in
five or six inches of soil is much more
satisfactory in every way, with young
plants that are planted in the spring.

I remember hearing a florist friend on
his return from California tell us that
gardenias were well grown and flowered
under glass by the florists of San Fran-
cisco and the principal point he noticed
was that each plant was growing on a
little mound; that is, at the stem of the
plant the soil might be seven or eight
inches deep, sloping away between the
'plants to three or four inches. There
may be a good point in this, as it would
keep the roots from becoming saturated
or constantly wet, which the necessary
frequent syringing of plants would be
liable to cause.

More about these lovely shrubs later.
Just now they do very well at a night
temperature of 60 degrees with a daily
thorough syringing. Mealy bug is their
worst insect enemy. The buds appear
o» the ends of the growth and any lat-
eral growth just below the buds should
be pinched out. Thousands of these gar-
denia flowers will be sent north this
winter from the southern states, still a
home-grown one is worth a dozen for
purity and sweetness.

Roses for Pots.

Last fall countless thousands of nur-
sery-grown roses of all descriptions which
were to have been dug and put in stor-
age, were frozen in the ground to stay
until April 's sun thawed them out. About
November 16 hard freezing commenced
and we all exchanged remarks: "This
will only last a few days. Lots of
time yet to dig up roses, etc." Nursery-
men were hit much more seriously than
florists, but we all felt it. It is im-
probable that we shall scon again see
such an early and continuous winter, yet
it taught us a lesson.

The longer you can leave the hardy
roses in the ground (I allude to the hy-
brid perpetual and Eamblers) that you
intend to force, it is to their benefit.
Light frosts ripen their wood, take off
all the foliage and put them in that per-
fectly dormant state in which the dis-
turbance and loss of roots is little felt.
With us about November 10 is right. It
would have been all right last year, but
procrastination is a disastrous element in
the make-up of lots of us.

For forcing purposes use one-year-old
plants that had their roots shortened back
and their growth cut back to one or two
eyes and were planted in your own ground
last spring and have made four or five
canes three or four feet long. Perhaps
the majority of florists depend, however,
on buying these plants from some good
nursery house. If so, ask as a favor
that these roses be dug and shipped to
you by express the same day. With the
hybrid perpetuals a day or two of delay
is not so serious, and they recover from
a drying out, because in the spring you
cut off three-fourths of the growth and
leave but a few eyes to break. But

^^^^iy,^.y,-j^„.^.,.;VV

OCTOBKU 27, 1004.

The Weekly Florists' Review^

uu

■with the Bamblors it is of the utmost
importance that there, should be no de-
lay between digging and potting, for
these are not cut back, either in fall
or spring, and a heavy growth has to
be started by few roots and those not
working.

Readers who do me the favor to notice
these hints know that I advocate a more
expensive but surer way of growing
Ramblers for forcing, yet there are thou-
sands lifted from the field and flowered
the following spring. With the hybrid
perpetual it is the only way for the com-
mercial man.

As soon as dug or received pot with-
out delay. The hybrids planted in the
^spring and lifted with care, saving every
piossible root, will want a 6-inch or 7-
inch pot. A heavy clay loam, with a
fourth of cow manure, not too rotten,
will do for all of them. Pot firmly and
give them a good soaking.

Storing for Vinter.

I forgot ta — mention that little
pruning shouJtK be done to the hybrids
when IrftiDg them. You may shorten
back the canes one-third arid with the
Ramblers only the uuripened tips of the
long growths. In an hour or two after
watering lay the plants down in rows

with the pots on their sides touching.
A row five feet wide will do. Then an-
other, row of pots, the tops of the plants
overlapping the pots of the first row,
and so on, making as long a bed as you
need.

Choose for this storage bed, as we
will call it, a piece of ground that 'water
will not lie on, even in a thaw. After
your plants are in place, if some of the
tops are unruly and stick up, run a piece
of strong twine across the bed here and
there to hold them down. Then cover
the whole bed, pots and all, with five
or six inches of garden soil, or any soil
you have at hand. Soil dug from each
side of the bed is proper, because that
helps drainage. In ordinary seasons,
after an inch or so of frost has pene-
trated the soil covering these roses, a
cover of six inches of leaves or stable
litter will be all that is needed to keep
the soil in the pots from freezing, so at
New Year's they can be taken up and
removed to a cool house. If there is
little snow and much zero cold, then
give more covering. This envelope o±
moist earth will restore shriveled wood
and they will come out at New Year's
with wood and eyes freeh and plump and
in fine condition to gradually start grow-
ing. William Scott.

RECORDS OF CUTS.

Every grower who wishes to keep up
with the procession should have a system
of ^record-keeping, so that he may be
able at any time and at the end of the
season, to tell exactly what each house,
variety and grower is producing. By
this means he will be certain to arrive
at conclusions which should be a guide for
the coming season. Not only will this
be a true guide in cultural methods,
but, if the system is complete, it will in-
clude records which will enable him to
grow the varieties in the proper quanti-
ties which his customers call for, thereby
eliminating, or at least reducing the
waste to a minimum.

Each house should be supplied with a
case into which a card can be inserted
to protect it from damp and sunshine.
This card should show each day of the
month and contain a space for each va-
riety planted in the house. Provision
should also be made for showing the
morning and evening cuts separately, a
copy of which should be handed to the
manager immediately after each cut is
taken.

In the sorting room similar record-
keeping should be in force, so that after

grading each house, variety and grower
may be credited, according to the merits.
The manager will, by a daily comparison
of records, be in a position to know near-
ly what he can expect from each house
and by consultJJig the sheets he will be
able to ascertain whether the cut is on the
increase or decrease and take orders ac-
cordingly.

Careful Handling Essential.

The care of the stock between the
time of cutting and shipping is a- very
important duty and should be entrusted
only to qualified help, as many of the
"kicks" coming from customers can be
traced to the poor methods adopted in
keeping stock and to ignorance or care-
lessness in packing. Having well-trained
Help in charge of this department en-
hances the value of the stock, keeps down
waste, pleases our customers, and by
adding to our reputation gains us new
ones.

Neatness and cleanliness in packing,
generous count, dispatch, and, above all,
a determination to please our customers,
will result in adding to the list, forming
and cementing a friendship which should
ever exist between customer and grower
to the advantage of both. Ribes.

TOO MUCH RED SPIDER.

I send some foliage of Liberty for your
inspection. Will you please inform me
what the trouble is and what I can do to
remedy it? These plants have been do-

ing fine up to about the last week in
September and the rest of my roses are
still all right. J. R. E.

The rose leaves were in too dry a con-
dition when they reached me to allow of
a correct diagnosis, but under the micro-
scope they showed undoubted signs of be-
ing infested with red spider; in fact,
there were more spider eggs enclosed in
that envelope than I would care to see
in a Meteor house of 3,000 square feet.
Keep the syringe going on each side of
the bench on every bright day and see
that the spray reaches the under side of
the leaves, where the spider makes his
home. The leaves are of good quality
and must have been produced on vigor-
ous, growing plants, but the spider has
entirely destroyed their usefulness.

Ribes.

THE WRONG CULTURE.

Will you please tell me why my roses
do not hold up better? They wilt too
soon after taking out of ice box or cel-
lar and they seem rather small to me, al-
though that is probably owing to hot
weather. I planted them in March on
raised benches in five inches of soil. The
soil was prepared last fall, using two-
thirds gumbo and one-third rotted cow
manure. Gumbo seemed to me to be the
most available, as we have no clay and
my soil is a sandy loam. The foliage
looks healthy and they have made a good
growth, American Beauties trying to
climb out of the roof,' but the flowers are
small. We shaded lightly up to about six
weeks ago; since then have had no shade.
They had a mulch of rotted cow and
Jiorse manure on all summer, but took it
off recently. We have used no liquid
manure as yet, as the weather has been
too hot during the past six weeks. We
had thrips on them during most of the
summer; then they disappeared for
awhile and reappeared about three weeks
ago. How can I get rid of them? I
liave mostly Brides, Gates, Maids and a
few Beauties and Kaiserins. I send you
a sample of the roses. C. B.

I am always glad to help by advice
those brethren who may get into trouble
with their roses, and particularly so
when the case is stated so explicitly as C.
B. has stated his. This simplifies mat-
ters and gives me a chance to advise in
such a way that some benefit may be de-
rived.

Tlie reason why these blooms are defi-
cient in keeping qualities is because they
are grown in too close an atmosphere.
This is indicated by the texture of the
foliage and by the spongy nature of the
calyxes and petals. And under such con-
ditions small, poor keeping blooms are
the natural result. This also accounts in
a measure for the Beauties having a ten-
dency to climb.

Roses planted from pots never require
shading, even during the hottest weather,
and any stock so treated is certain to
show the effect of it during the winter
months by weak growth, a sure index of
an impaired constitution. Liquid manure
should not be applied to such stock until
it has regained a vigorous growth, as
any stimulant which acts so quickly as
this does is apt to sicken the plants and
agfirravate the trouble.

True gumbo soil, which T subjected to
a searching analysis ahouf two years aeo,
contains few of the essential elements for
"uccessful rose culture and should not
bo used, even as a mixture, almost any

other soil from pasture land being prefer-
able;

It is rather a dangerous proceeding to
remove mulching after it has been on for
a sufficient time to allow the feeding
roots to enter it, as this exposes thest-
very tender members to the sunshine and
■dry air, under which conditions they are
certain to wither and die, thus leaving the
plants in a starving condition. Better
keep adding to it lightly and frequently.

Try a night temperature of 56 degrees,
with plenty of ventilation, giving particu-

lar attention to night ventilation, even
at the expense of a few extra tons of
coal. Keep the air sweet and have the
foliage dry before sundown.

Thrijjs can be kept in subjection by a
systematic fumigation, doing it frequent-
ly and lightly. Thrips are frequently in-
troduced into the house with the mulch,
and are certain to be so introduced if the
mulching material has been neglected and
allowed to be overrun with weeds during
the summer, as such places are their fa-
vorite stamping grounds. SiBES.

KEEPING SHOW FLOWERS.

Owing to the fact that flowers will not
always open just when they are wanted,
and an exhibition on any given date will
not be suitable for all varieties alike, as
to time of flowering, it is often necessary
to put flowers away in cold storage to
hold them in perfect condition.

Flowers to keep well should be cut
just as soon as they are fully open and
before being placed in water every stem
should be tied to a bamboo or wire stake,
so that there shall be no strain on the
, neck of the flower. With very stout -
stemmed kinds like Appleton this may
seem unnecessary, but I believe it always )
pays, because it keeps the stem straight
and allows the water to pass freely up
to the flower. Barrels cut down a little
are the best thing to set the flowers in
jand they should be half filled with water.

.The best place to store the flowers is
•a, 'cool, dry cellar with only just a little
light and a temperature as near 40
degrees as possible. It is not necessary
to change the water oftener than every
five or six days, as too frequent handling
is apt to bruise the flowers considerably.
A few drops of ammonia or a pinch
of salt will keep the water from smell-
ing badly.

Flowers treated in this manner will
keep in good condition for three weeks
or more and, because the stem is soaked
full of water, they generally keep in
better condition during a show than flow-
ers cut only the day before.

Any flower should be placed in water
at least twentv-four hours before it is
exhibited and, if the stems are very
long, forty-eight hours is better. If
this plan were always followed we
•would not see so many of the long-
•stemmed classes looking like 30 cents or
less the second morning of an exhibi-
tion.

Methods of Staging.

There seems to be a disposition in
«ome quarters to regard any method of
•staging other than the one of six, twelve
or more long-stemmed flowers in a vase as
a retrogression and a violation of prece-
dent and good taste. While all will
recognize the fact that the big vases are
•spectacular and very effective, the
■classes calling for 15-inch stems, one
iiower to a vase, are as attractive to the
^neral public as anything in the show,
and they will keep in good condition for

a week should the show last so long as
that. I think there is lots of room to
exhibit both ways, and any other way that
may suggest itself to the mind of the
show promoters.

Ezhibitmsf.

Exhibiting entails a good deal or work
on the exhibitor and the results, even if
he is successful, are out of all propor-
tion to the labor involved, but the satis-
fa<rtion of winning is something that
cannot be counted in a mere monetary
sense, as every grower knows. Where
seven or eight years ago the prominent
exhibitors could almost be counted on
one's fingers, today they can be counted
by the hundred, and the end is not yet,
by any means. The desire for a country
estate by the wealthy is indirectly respon-
sible for this. As soon as one gets the
establishment running, then comes the
desire to beat his neighbor in raising
something, and one of the first things
the gardener turns to is the mum. The
result is everywhere seen, and today the
quality of^ the^ flowers set up at a dozen
shows^^n the 6ast is not surpassed any-
where in the world.

By the time uiese .notes are in print
the shows will have^lJegun and culturally
there is nothing more to tell, but we will
keep a careful record of varieties ex-
hibited and report our impressions later.

EARLY MUMS.

Please give a list of best early chrys-
anthemums, pink, white and yellow. We
have Glory of Pacific, Willowbrook and
Parr, but are looking for something bet-
ter. I do not mean earlier, but ones that
will bloom about the same time as the
above. S. F. P.

There are three standard yellows that
are quite largely grown for early, Mon-
rovia, Omega and October Sunshine.
These can be had by October I. These
are all fairly good, the last named be-
ing best. Mrs. T. W. Pockett will come
in by October 8 and is very fine. The
new Merstham Yellow, as exhibited be-
fore the C. S. A. committee on October
1, easily discounts either of these kinds,
as it is of exhibition size and finish.
For some reason a great call developed
for early yellows this year and they were
very profitable.

Pacific seems the best pink for earliest
work, though Lady Harriet and Mrs.
Coombes can be cut in grand shape by
October 5 to 10. I know of nothing n^w
in early pinks this year.

In whites I would ask nothing , better
than Alice Byron to come in Oej^her 5,
following immediately after White Pa-
cific. The white sport of Mrs. Coombes
-named Daphne will also be very valuable
as an early pure white. The new Clem-
entine Touset was shown on October 8
this year and is very large for its earli-
ness in flowering. The color is a pinky
white and it is a fine, big early mum.

It should always be borne in nund that
to get early flowers and get them big,
plants should be set out by May 15 on
the benches. It is useless to plant late
in June or July and expect fine flowers
by October 1, whether the variety is nat-
urally early or not. Brian Bobu.

AZALEAS FOR FORCING.

We would like some information
about azaleas for forcing for Christmas.
Are the ones I have left over from last
year the best or are the newly imported
ones better? What temperature do they
require at night?

H. J.

This subject has been ventilated within
a very short time in the pages of the
Eeview. It would seem reasonable to

suppose that the plants you summered
over and have well established in their
pots would be the plants to force. The
very opposite is the fact learned by ex-
perience. The newly imported plaints
are the ones to force for Christmas. Put
them in a night temperature of 50 de-
grees for two weeks and then give them
60 degrees and plenty of spraying until
the buds expand. Some may need high-
er than 60 degrees to get them well out
by the desired time. I hope H. J. is
aware of the fact that only a few varie-
ties can be forced out at this early date.
The best of all is the beautiful white,
Deutsche Perle, the mottled white and
pink, Vervajneana, and the deep rose
pink, Simon Mardner. These three will
fill the bill for Christmas. Some grow-
ers who have great heat at their com-
mand bring in that grand variety, Mme.
Van der Cruyssen, but you had better
not try it. W. S.

PRECAUTIONS NECESSARY.

Certainly if one wants variety in
weather he has not looked for it in vain
in our section. From one snowy, sleety,
raw day to the warmest of the Indian
tummer kind has been a common occur-
rence. The latter is much more to be
enjoyed than the former, although the
high temperature has not been so good
for violets as the colder days, and then,
too, it forces the blooms on too rapidly,
to the detriment of the crop later on.
Therefore give all the air that it is pos-
sible to keep on, and take pains to keep
tlie plants on the dry side in order not
to be caught napping with a sudden
change to wet, cold, raw, sloppy weather
when you can hardly dry out the foliage
if you try ever so hard.

Tlie usual vigilance must be observed
from now on — yes, more than usual —
in keeping the crowns thoroughly clean
and free from dead matter, such as old
leaves, short-stemmed early bloom, etc.
Some growers advocate using grape dust
for the sow bugs, but we have never
found anything much better than grsmu
lated sugar and Paris green. You want
to hustle and exterminate all of this kind
of stock at once, if you have neglected
to do so before, as if left alone and they
get much of a start they will eat hun-

dreds of blooms on short notice. Of
course the cleaner your house is of old
wood and rubbish generally the less you
will be troubled with vermin, still no
house will be without them at the very
best, as you can always find them in-
doors and out and they have to be killed.

Violets as Pot Plants,

If you have a nice local trade in
potted stuflf be sure and have some vio-
lets nicely established in pots to sell as
window plants. If they are nicely grown
and in full flower they prove quite at-
tractive and last long enough to be de-
sirable, even though they play out after
a while froip being placed in overheated
rooms. Another thing in their favor is
that they come at this time of year, when
we do not have a large assortment of
flowering plants for window decoration.
If you have never given them a trial, do
so this fall and see if it is not a good
plan. While nearly every place has a cer-
Jain "style" of trade, as I might call
it. and runs to certain kinds of plants^
still the enterprising florist can have his
influence in shaping the demand if be
sets out to do so in the right way. Gen-
erally speaking, he can sell anything,
provided it is of good quality,^and this
is coming to be true more and more as the
years go by. Take, for instance, the car-
nations that we grew only a few short
years ago and thought very nice. Now
most of them would be relegated to the
waste box without our giving them any
consideration whatever. "The world do
move." Each grower must scramble to
be on top, with the best that can be pro-
duced, both in cut blooms and in plants,
even though it is hard scratching.

E. E. Shuphelt.

ANOTHER YOUNG FLORIST.

S. Hoffman, of Boston, is another
young florist who is entitled to credit
for his ability to hustle. He conducts
two well located, busy stores in Boston,
and last May took over the T. W. Dee
place in Cambridge, which had been
vacant; all winter. He found the plant
in the shape one might expect after be*
ing buffeted by storms through the cold-
est winter on record, without care or
fire. Five months were spent In repip-
ing, reglazing and repainting. There
are eleven houses, now in first-class
shape and well filled. Pot plants will
be produced here for the local trade
and two city stores. A large quantity
of bedding stock will also be worked up
for the spring business. Mr. Hoffman
is only 26 years of age. For the trans-
formation in the Dee place, which i»
shown in the accompanying illustrations,
he gives credit to Bert Smith, who has
had charge of the men engaged in put-
ting the establishment in order.

A FINE PHALAENOPSIS.

The accompanying illustration is from
a photograph of a plant taken at the
establishment of Harry G. Selfridge, at
Lake Geneva, Wis., and the following
note is supplied by C. H. Gebhardt, the
gardener in charge:

"Phalaenopsis amahilis Bimestediana
is one of the finest of the phalsenopsis
varieties lately introduced. The flowers
are of the purest white and nieasur«v^
nearly three inches across. They flow-
ered in the month of May and kept six
weeks. They are from Java and can
also be grown successfully in a cattleya
house, but we grow them with our other
phalsenopsis in our East Indian house.
They usually commence their season's
growth in March, at which time the' tem-
perature of the house should be raised
until the end of April, when the night
temperature should not sink below 70
degrees and the day temperature range
from 75 to 80 degrees, according to tlie
brightn^s of the weather. This temper-'
ature we maintain until the middle of
November, from Avhioh time we diminish
the temperature to the end of December,
when we give the ])lants their resting
season, until about the end of March.

''The phalaenopsi^ grows naturally in
an always saturated atmos])here. We
wet down tlie path In'tween the benches,
three times a day in tlicir growing sea-
son and once a day at their resting
season. Here in Wisconsin we ought to
do that also at night in winter, when
we have to fire so hard to keep up the
even temperature required. If the out-
side temperature goes down to 28 degrees
below zero, like last winter, it is a very

use only osmunda fern roots mixed with
a little live sphagnum moss. I ixse only
rain water and in summer shade heavy
with roll shades. Ventilation I give only
from the bottom, unless it gets too hot.
I let the surplus heat escape through
the top ventilation, but I don't like top
ventilation on account of making the
atmosphere too dry, I grow them in
baskets suspended from the roof."

WORLD'S FAIR FLOWER SHOW.

The spontaneous and unanimous man-
ner in which the whole trade has taken
up the subject of a World's Fair flower
show in the few days since plans have
taken ,definite form has assured t^ie
unqualified success of the great under-
taking. While it is hoped and antici-
pated that the gate receipts at the show
will pay all expenses, including the cash
premiums, the greatest necessity was for
a guarantee fund which should be suffi-
cient to insure everyone receiving all
the money which might be due him. In
this respect the response has been par-
ticularly gratifying. The guarantee
fund passed $7,000 on Monday and is
still growing. Before the end of the
week the total will be close to $10,000.
The total of the cash prizes and all pos-
i-ible expenses has already been covered,
but it is the purpose to invite all horti-
culturists to unite with the present
guarantors, not that there is need for
further resources, but that the active
support of everyone in the trade is desired
to further what the projectors hope to
make tiic greatest flower ehow ever
given in this country.

nesday, October 20, is as follows:

lings for certificates during the World's
Fair flower show.

Manager Hauswirth states that all
preparations are well under way for the
■exhibition and that Chief Taylor, of the
Department of Horticulture at the Fair
has acquiesced in every request made of
him looking to the greatest facilities
for staging the show. The greatest con-
•cession made is in the matter of keeping
the show open until 10 p. m., the custom
having been to close the building at six
•o'clock. Mr. Hauswirth will be at his
address, 227 Michigan avenue, Chicago,
until November 2, after which his ad-
dress will be at the Horticultural Build-
ing, World's Fair, St. Louis.

The above rules and preliminary pre-

as follows in writing:

— '.,*"^?uP'*'"^"''*' *" advising yon that I have
read with care the premium list which vou offer
and the rules and regulations regarding the
flower show to be held on November 7 to 12 In-
clusive, and I find that all these are In accord-
ance with the rules of the exposition and the
various conferencrs which have been held be-
tween representatives of your organization and
this department. I am glad, therefore, to ad-
vise you that the arrangement which vou have
worked out meets with the entire approval of
this department.

THE SHAW PREMIUMS.

The founder of the Missouri Botanical
Garden, Henry Shaw, made provision
m his will for "$500 annually for pre-
miums or prizes to a flower show or ex-
hibition, when such flower show may be
established by amateurs and horticultur-
ists of St. Louis, to be paid each year
out of the funds of the garden," In
1893, by action of the trustees of the
garden, there was founded, as part of
these premiums or prizes, a gold medal
of the value of $25 to be known as the
Henry Shaw medal for the introduction
of a valuable plant, to be awarded each
year, when practicable, for a new plant
of value for cultivation, exhibited in St.
Louis, provided that the judges making
awards at such exhibition shall certify
that said medal is awarded for a plant
of decided merit for cultivation, not
previously an article of North American
commerce, and introduced to such com-
merce by the exhibitor during the year
in which said award is made.

With the sanction of the president of
the board of trustees the director of the
Garden has authorized the managers of
the World's Fair Flower Show to offer
the amount of $500, for the present year,
in the form of twelve Shaw medals, un-
der the conditions stated above, and $200
in cash prizes. It will be seen that the
opportunity is an unusual one for those
who have this year made notable addi-
tions to American horticulture to exhibit
their plants in St. Louis and win this
exclusive recognition of their enterprise,
in addition to any of the World's Fair
or other premiums that they may com-
pete for. There is nothing in the lan-
guage governing the founding of the
Shaw medal to prevent its award for
fruits, vegetables or decorative plants
other than flowers, complying with the
requiremnets as to novelty and distinct
value for cultivation, the only restric-
tion being that the policy of the Gar-
den is to request judges to make awards
for plants promising to be of perma-
nent rather than merely transient value,

and the manager of the Flower Show will
therefore receive entries for this medal
in any branch of horticulture.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market

Chrysanthemums rule the market. The
early sorts have given place to the mid-
season varieties now in their glory.
There is a fair amount of business, quite
as much as can be expected at the end
of October, but it must be frankly ad-
mitted that it would take a Christmas
or an Easter to sell the stock of flowers
at fair prices.

Each good variety of chrysanthemum,
as it appears, sells well at good prices,
but the poorer flowers of the varieties
displaced often spoil or are sold at any
price. There are many fine sorts in.
The Leo Niessen Co. has Col. Appleton,
Mrs. Henry Eobinson, H. Balsley, Major
Bonnaffon and Ivory. The Flower Mar-
ket has Miss Florence Harris, a fine yel-
low; Mrs. Robinson, Col. Appleton and
Ivory. Samuel S. Pennock has William
Duckham, a superb lavender, an unusual
shade; Col. Appleton in exhibition form,
Mrs. Coombes, Marie Liger, pink, not
yellow as erroneously stated, and Mrs.
Eobinson. These are simply quoted as
examples. All the centers of trade hav6
fine varieties of merit and in quantity.

Violets are selling fairly well, in rec-
ognition of their improved quality. S.
S. Pennock has white violets. They are
much sought for weddings. Eoses and
carnations feel the over-production most.
A great many are sold at fair prices, but
there are too many of «'hem, making the
average price low. The Leo Niessen
Co. has added bouvardia and pansies to
the list. Eugene Bemheimer has added
mignonette and the Flowei Market has
added calla lilies.

A B. and M. Grower.

Nearly all the principal B. and M.
growers whose products figure in the
Philadelphia market are located on one
or the other of the roads that stretch
out from the Eeading Terminal^ like
fingers from the palm of the hand. It
was on one of these roads that Eugt-ne
Weiss, the well known retailer and
grower, conducted Phil to his place at
Hatboro recently. Mr. Weiss' place is
beautifully situated on high ground about
two city blocks from the station. A
conveniently arranged building serves as
oflBce and workshop. Underneath are
two large return tubulai boUers, a good
sized cooling room and below all a fine
well from which the water is pumped
through the pipes to all the greenhouses
b" means of a Worthington force pump.
There is also a tank for liquid manure
operated by this pump which stands in
the workshop, the well water being shut
off and the manure water being admitted
into the pipes by means of valves. There
are ten greenhouses; a range of six
houses even-span, open between, each
about 10x175 feet, and four detached
houses, the same length as the range
but varying in width, one being about
twenty-five feet, two about twenty feet
each and one about fifteen feet. The
first eight houses are planted with
Brides and Maids, the narrower detached
house with carnations an I the last house
with Liberty.

Th» front ana back houses in the range
are planted with Brides, the four center
houses with Maids, grafted stock, which,

after bearing continuously for s year^
were cut back iu September an' art now
breaking freely from the old canes. The
front house of Brides is like the four
Maid houses, but the back house of
Brides, the only one in benches, i»
planted with young stock. The two de-
tached tea rose houses, also ground beds^
are further advanced. Own-root stock
prednnanates.

Foreman Paul Bender — no, not th»
Athletic '8 pitcher — he spoke of shoots
but never of curves — favors the grafted
stock. A new house 12x70 feet is planned
for propagating and grafting. The car-
nation house was in excellent condition.
Joost, Enchantress, Queen Louise and
Mrs. Lawson all looked well. The whole
place was neatly stocked, with not a weed
visible. Outside double petunias and
peonies have been specialties in their
season. The cut of the place is shipped
by the night foreman on the early train.
The boxes are met by Samuel Zilley^
who distributes the flowers among hi»
customers.

His Losses.

He was a cheerful looking man, Evi-
dently in the prime of life, a well-to-do
man, judging from appearances, who had
secured some measure of success as a
result of years of hard work. He wa»
telling two brother florists of his losses^
^n unusual theme, treated with perfect
good humor. "When I first came to thi»
country," he said, "I had $1,000. I
looked about for a good investment out-
side of my business, where this money
would grow and yield some revenue. I
put it into oil stock. I never got any-
thing from it and I never will. Later
on,'* he continued thoughtfully, "I
bought twenty acres of ground in the
south. I thought they would be valuable-
some day. They were dirt cheap. They
are even cheaper today. I have put it
in my will that I am to be buried there.
It isn 't every man who can be buried in
twenty acres of ground," he concluded
with a smile.

Variotis Notes.

The Stratford Flower Farm is using a
private mailing card, pea green in color.

Miss Leedom, who sells for J. Henry
Bartram, of Lansdowne, has the distinc-
tion of being the only wholesale sales-
woman in the city. She carries roses in
a valise instead of the conventional tray
and has thoroughly mastered the art of
economizing space.

William P. Craig had a large wedding
order at Chadd's Ford last Tuesday.

The Greenmont Nursery, Charles A.
Cox, is putting in the Wren patent grate
bar, which provides for expansion and
contraction.

Hitchings & Co. are just finishing the
glazing on a two-sectioned greenhouse at
Upsal, Germantown, for William Bayard.

Hugh Graham has a fine new pink
chrysanthemum grown at his plant at
Logan.

James M. Thoirs, of 542 Market street,
Camden, N. J., has put a handsome new
wagon on the street. He has been do-
ing an excellent business this fall and
is looking forward to a good season. Hi»

of visitors inside. E. C. Hayden reports
an active shipping business, chiefly in
Brides, Maids and carnations.

Edward Eeid has the shipping busi-
ness down to a very fine point. He
knows just how many petals of a rose
ought to be open for each hundred miles
of railroad to be traversed and just how
far open a carnation should be to give
perfect satisfaction on arriving at its
destination.

William J. Baker will have a splendid
lot of Ivory and other white chrysan-
themums just right for Hallowe'en and
All Saints' day.

John K. North, of Sewell, N. J., is
sending fine chrysanthemums and cailad
to the Flower Market.

Paul Eichter, of the Henry F. Michell
Co., is authority for the statement that
their business exceeds that of last sea-
son very considerably. Money has been
spent in advertising and it is yielding
returns.

M. Eice and Eugfene "Weiss went out
of Flourtown a few days ago to see
George E. Campbell. Mr. Eice reports
the Brides and Maids in good condition,
full of buds as fine in size and color as
in winter.

Myers & Samtman are cutting count-
less numbers of Beauties, chiefly me-
dium and short stems. They go to the
Flower Market.

Eugene Bemheimer has been doing a
lot of business with oak leaves and other
autumn foliage. He receives many
chrysanthemums of quality and some
Queen of Edgely.

J, liddon Pennock and Mrs. Pennock
are expected back from Bermuda next
week.

Fred Ehret is keeping up the reputa-
tion of his fine Maids and Brides. His
plade is very pretty. It is finished in
white, with plenty of green about.

John Burton is cutting Liberty roses
by the thousands.

To G. E., of West Grove, Pa.: Both
Mr. Conner and I fully realized that we
could not see many of the Chester county
places in so short a time. We hope to
see them all at some future time.

RADIATION.

I have a house 18x90, ten feet to ridge,
south sash bars twelve feet long, north
bars nine feet; glass on west end, side
walls four and one-half feet high, double
boarded with paper between. From the
boiler there is a 4-inch flow feeding two
2%-inch flows on the purlin posts and

ten 1^/^-inch returns. Have I enough ra-
diation for 60 degrees in zero weather.

L. E. W.

The piping which has been provided
gives more than 500 feet of radiation,
while the requirements of the house are
only a little more than 400 feet. If the
boiler has sufficient capacity and is set
so as to provide sufficient fall in the
pipes the plant, if properly fired, should
give satisfaction. L. C. C.

NEV YORK.

The Market.

The market at the opening of the week
resembles the Johnstown flood, for it is
simply overwhelmed, not only with chrys-
anthemums, but roses, carnations and
even violets, which are here in almost mid-
winter profusion. Nearly 100 boxes ar-
rived on a single train on Saturday even-
ing. Thousands were disposed of as low
as 20 cents per hundred and specials have
not been above 75 cents. Orchids
touched bottom last week, fine cattleyas
going as low as $15 per hundred. The
tendency is now toward better prices.
Even the street merchants took a flyer
in them on Saturday.

Two weeks more of the low tide and
the rush of the returning waters will
make welcome music. Thanksgiving is
very near and before it arrives there will
be abundant cause for it.

Various Notes.

Franz Pammer, 33 years old, was
found dead in his office at Tarrytown one
day last week, apparently a suicide, with
a bullet in his left temple and his re-
volver beside him. He was a genial and
popular man and his rash act is much
regretted.

Carl Beckstedt, of Oswego, N. Y., one
of that city's prominent florists, is vis-
iting Geo. Saltford.

William Matthews, of Great Neck, L.
I., son of the veteran florist, George
Matthews, has started in the growing
business, building this fall three houses
20x180 and utilizing two and one-half
'Seres of excellent land for nursery pur-
poses.

Elliott's red letter sale did not draw
the crowd expected, owing to stormy
weather, and it will be repeated shortly.
The apathy shown by the retail florists
of New York and vicinity this season
is unusual. Even the clearing sale at
Dreyer's saw few of the Broadway and
Fifth avenue contingent usually in evi-
dence on these bargain occasions. In-

stead, the representatives of the depart-
ment store conservatories were out in
force and managed to absorb most of
the "good things" offered. Cleary's
has a new voice at the stand, Ambrose
Cleary now officiating.

Mr. Burnham is rejoicing in the com-
pletion of the Bloomingdale store and
conservatory. Both are a credit to his
management and no better facilities for
a successful florist business can be found
in the city.

Thursday sees the formal opening of
the great subway and floral displays will
signalize the ceremonies.

Last week the re-opening of the old
Weber & Field's Music Hall was an
occasion for floral elaboration in which
Twenty-eighth street was especially in-
terested. Not only were all the promi-
nent retailers called upon for flowers,
but many of the wholesalers, as is their
yearly custom, sent enormous quantities
of them in all manner of artistic arrange-
ment.

The great fall exhibitions are in full
blast, or will be by the time this paper
reaches its readers. Madison celebrates
on Thursday and Friday; next week Tar-
rytown and Philadelphia, and so on for
a score of days, culminating in the great
show of the American Institute in New
York, November 10 to 17.

President Traendly has already re-
ceived many promises of exhibits of
chrysanthemums for the club's next meet-
ing, the second Monday in November,,
and urges all intending exhibitors to-
send their applications for space in time
and their stock to Secretary Young,
where it will be given proper care.

Sigmund Geller has advanced to a
ground floor convenience at 110 West
Twenty-eighth street, where he occupie*
the whole store and basement, giving
him greatly increased facilities.

In a late report of Flatbush bowlinfj
the veteran, Louis Schmutz, Sr., was
not credited with his scores for three
games, which netted him an average of
over 200. There are nights when Louie
can sing the Marseillaise and secure all
the pots at the same time, and this was
one of them. He will doubtless be on
the team that rolls the New York club
in the near future in the "tri-city"
^umament, in which Hoboken is ex-
pected to participate as the third com-
petitor.

William Siebrecht, of Astoria, who
has the best cold storage plant in this
vicinity, if not in the country, is the
acknowledged bulb king, handling over
a million lily of the valley yearly, in
addition to many thousands of narcissi,
lilies and hyacinths. Five acres are de-
voted to peonies, lilacs, snow balls and
garden vegetables, and his glass totals
over 25,000 square feet.

Condon, of Brooklyn, will hold his
yearly chrysanthemum show from Novem-
ber 1 to 15.

Arthur Boddington's big store looks
lonely since the fall shipments. Hardly
a bulb remains unsold.

The first Paper White narcissi of the
season made their appearance at J. K.
Allen's on Saturday, also the new car-
nations Bellmore and Mrs. Clarence
Mackay, grown by E. P. Jeffrey & Son,
of Bellmore, L. I., the former a brick
red of splendid strength and brilliance
that should make a popular novelty.

SALT LAKE QTY.

■LaTv Bros., of Butte, Mont., have
bought the retail store of the Salt Lake-
Huddart Floral Co., and the business is
now purely a wholesale one, conducted
by the proprietor, Mr. Bausford. The
Law Bros, are doing nicely with the re-
tail end. P. T. Huddart is no longer
connected with the concern and has
opened a store of his own on Second
Southeast street.

The B. C. Morris Floral Co. 's green-
houses are in good shape, all the stock
looking well. W. .1. Burnette is the
grower in charge. They do one of the
largest retail businesses in town, Thomas
Hobday being the manager.

The weather is cool, with frost and
occasional snow. Business is fair. B.

BUFFALO.

Various Notes of Interest.

There is rather too much politics these
days for business to be very brisk, but
a good many October weddings have
helped. Carnations are now more plenti-
ful and, for this early season, were never
so fine. Enchantress, Lawson, Estelle,
The Queen, Queen Louise, Boston Mar-
ket and old Joost are all giving us fine
flowers and stems. It sometimes takes
years to find out th6 true value of a
variety. A bed of fistelle planted on
July 5 has giveq us flowers as large
as average Lawson and stems eighteen
inches long. I am afraid many scarlets
sent out since, with a fine character and
costly price, will go, or have gone, down
to oblivion "unhonored and unsung,"
while Estelle is better than it was four
years ago. Everyone who was fortunate
enough to purchase The Queen has noth-
ing but praise for it. This is what we
expected from seeing it grow last win-
ter. Now that Peter Fisher has immor-
talized himself by giving us Lawson and
E'nchantress, he might be good enough
to give us a flower with the incomparable
habit, freedom and size of Enchantress
with the color of Joost. Then we will
let him go home, Harlowarden is prov-
ing itself the king of the crimson. It
is giving us fine, long-stemmed fiowers in
abundance,

Violets are plentiful, but not moving
very fast. Chrysanthemums are just as
much in demand as they have been for
the past seven or eight years. Just as
much, and that is saying a good deal,
for it evaporates the idea held by many
that the great furore in their favor ten
or twelve years ago was a fleeting fad
and that they would soon drop into the
unnoticeable. The mum is going to fill
its place in the cycle of the season as
favorably as any other flower. True,
there are no more $8 to ."OlO per dozen
monsters wanted. 'Twas vulgar when
they were. From $2 to $4 or $5 per
dozen is now the popular flower. People
with good purposes and a taste for flow-
ers expect to get a dozen good mums for
$3, and so they can.

Bye the by, is there any leading flower
or plant you can think of that has gone
up in price within the past five or
six years? I can't, with one important
exception. During this time all ma-
terial with which we construct, with the
fuel to keep up heat and the labor to
do the work, has gone up from twenty-five
to seventy-five per cent. The exception is,
of course, the carnation, and why that
has risen from fifty to 100 per cent, both
wholesale and retail, within less than ten
years, is by the simplest of economic
laws, excellence of product. The quality
of the carnation, more particularly within
three or four years, in all that makes a
flower admired and desired has im-
proved 100 per cent and the price has
risen with it.

We had a good business meeting of the
club last week. Mr. Gould, of Middle-
port, was present ; came in forty miles
to attend a meeting. • How is that, you
city boys? A preliminary premium list
for the Sweeney Co. 's spring show was
presented to the club and adopted. The
firm gives $1,100 in cash prizes and they
are almost entirely for Eapter stock. As
this show will be held about two weeks
before Easter, it will be a splendid op-
portunity, not only to capture some good

prizes, but to show the public what you
have to offer.

The H. A. Meldrum Show.

Everything is progressing most favor-
ably. Although there are great attrac-
tions both east and west of us, we fully
expect many of the foremost growers of
the country to be represented. C. H.
Keitsch, the manager, has had many in-
quiries from the leading specialists. D,
B. Long was appointed chairman of the
press committee, with power to appoint
his assistants. This committee is not so
much for the daily press alone as for the
"diffusion of knowledge" and explain
to visitors the different classes, premiums,
etc. Simple as it may seem to us, the
general public has a vague and confused
conception of what all those first, sec-
ond and third clas's cards really mean.
W, T, Bell, of Franklin, Pa,, Peter
Crowe, of Utica, N. Y,, and our own
Prof, Cowell will be the judges.

Now, last November the florists from
surrounding cities, towns and hamlets
came in to us in goodly numbers, and
that was most gratifying. Come aigain
and you won't be disappointed and we
shall be delighted.

It is a question whether the Buffalo
florists, that is. all of them, fully realize
what the H. A. Meldrum Co, is doing
for our trade. It is not philanthropy on
their part. It is business. It is adver-
tising, and I am sure we all hope sin-
cerely that this novel method of adver-
tising will repay them. But that does
not detract in the least from the great
benefit it does to our business at large
and for the glorious chrysanthemum in
particular.

We have not found any individual or
syndicate of florists in our town willing
(if they were able) to stand the loss of
a flower show. So the problem is solved.
Five times as many people see your prod-
ucts as would were an admission fee
charged and that's the chief benefit to
us of holding exhibitions. So it is your
duty, fellow florists, one and all, to make
an exhibit if you have anything at all
meritorious. We can't all be first, and
for that matter the third prize m any
class will pay you well for your flowers.
In all competitions there must be a
number of the ' ' also rans, ' ' and the man
who refrains from making an exhibit be-
cause he has been told and thinks that
someone else has better flowers needs a
good injection of dope to make him
dance up to the barrier. If it is im-
possible for you to exhibit, then attend
the show as often as you can lend us the
light of your countenance and genial
presence. Talk it up to your customer
at every opportunity and in every way
do all you ^an to help the show and en-
courage this enterprising and worths
firm. W. S. '

The Market.

The horse show always has an in-
vigorating effect on the demand and
this, coupled with reduced receipts, has
served to put the market in a much bet-
ter condition than last week, Thurs-
day, Friday and Saturday were very dull
days, much below the average for this
season of the year, although receipts
were above the ordinary, Monday, how-
ever, found a brisk demand and all good
stock cleaned out early in the day, and
Tuesday, usually a quiet day, was good.

OCTOBEB 27, 1904.

The WeeUy Florists' Review.

jjj?

Violets are actively sought, for the first
time this season, and it is probable that
there will be a good market for them
all through the week, for many thou-
sands are worn at the horse show. The
Beauty crop seems to be coming off all
along the line, perhaps due to the change
to cool weather, which has had a bene-
ficial effect in point of quality, color
now being much better than it was dur-
ing the heated term. The change to
frosty nights has given many of the tea
roses another attack of mildew and aver-
ages are very low for growers who have
failed to take necessary precautions.
Those whose cut is of good average qual-
ity are now getting satisfactory re-
turns.

This week has brought a change in
the carnation market, colored sorts hav-
ing been in fair demand for almost the
first time this fall. The mid-season
varieties of chrysanthemums came on in
full force very suddenly, Monday the
market being bare of good stock, while
Tuesday saw large receipts of Bonnaf-
fon, Duckham, Appleton and other fancy
sorts. "With so much good stock the
under grades are very slow sellers. The
growers of these will not be satisfied
with the returns.

While we have had light frosts, no
harm has yet been done to outdoor stock
in many localities and there is still
plenty of cosmos to be had, also a few
poor dahlias and few gladioli.^ The
green goods are in fair demand and not
too abundant supply.

Large quantities of stock are ordered
for shipment to New. Orleans Saturday
night for All Saints' day.

The Flower Show.

There wijl be a meeting of the ex-
ecutive committee of the Horticultural
Society this afternoon to complete de-
tails for the big exhibition November
15 to 19. A superintendent has yet to
be engaged. Henry Wittbold is men-
tioned as a capable man for this difiicult
post. The show will be advertised as
in the Fine Arts building, the entrance
being by way of the elevators there,
although in reality the larger part of
the show will be in the Auditorium, the
two buildings being as one on this floor.

Various Notes.

Peter Reinberg says that heating
plants have changed as much as any
other feature of a greenhouse since the
days when he did his own night firing.
Then he used hot water; now he installs
steam, with which one of the greatest
troubles is returning the condensation to
the boiler. The pumps refuse to take
the water too hot. This difficulty he
overcomes by using the Morehead steam
trap, which he says works to perfection.
Another difficulty with steam is that
temperature will vary more or less every
time the boiler is fired, changing the
pressure on the gauge. To obviate this
he attaches a regulating valve to his
main feed pipe just inside the green-
houses. This is a big valve made by
the Foster Engineering Co., Newark, N.
J., which makes the steam pressure in
the coils whatever is desired, no matter
whether the boiler pressure is ten or
sixty pounds. If the weather grows
colder, instead of turning on more pipes,
the man in charge simply opens the regu-
lating valve to admit more steam.

One of the largest buyers in this
market is the Pittsburg Florists' Ex-
change, conducted by P. J. Demas, a
countryman of John Mangel and akin to

him in his ability to handle large quan-
tities of cut flowers. But the Pittsburger
wholesales his stock and receives, in ad-
dition to his large purchases here, con-
siderable quantities of roses, carnations
and seasonable flowers produced in his
own vicinity, which he sells on commis-
sion.

Poehlmann Bros, are right in the
midst of their chrysanthemum season,
cutting splendid Appleton and fine, well
developed Bonnaffon in quantity.

E. C. Amling is among those who are
getting fine blooms of Wm. Duckham
chrysanthemum, last season's great nov-
elty.

Wm. Dittman, of New Castle, is send-
ing J. A. Budlong a large cut of fine
Beauties.

P. J, Hauswirth had a big decoration
for the Auditorium Monday night, the
hotel being filled to its greatest capacity
by horse show visitors.

E. H. Hunt is getting in some very
fine Vi viand -Morel chrysanthemums.

Sinner Bros, have 320 feet of callas
five feet wide, planted out, just coming
into full bloom. They are very healthy.

George Eeinberg is getting a heavy
cut of Liberties and Beauties.

E. E. Pieser at Kennicott's says the
business this week has looked like old
times, but there is still too much poor
ttock for a good market.

C. W. McKellar is again receiving
orchids in quantity and variety.

Bassett &• Washburn are cutting La
Detroit of fine quality. The introducer
saw it the other day and agreed it would
be hard to beat at St. Louis.

F. C. Struvy has bought out C.
Paasch, at 224 Clyboum avenue, and is
giving his personal attention to the
place, leaving his daughter in charge
at the Halsted street stand. Mr. Paasch
and his wife had long done a fine trade
on Clyboum avenue and have gotten to-
gether a competence.

Wietor Bros, say that business is very
good and they sell out quickly twice a
day. Benthey's is another place where
the fashion is to sell out early.

Weiland & Risch are getting in a big
cut of mums. They report the best
call for medium priced yellows.

The E. F. Winterson Co. will make a
specialty of wild smilax now that the
weather is cool and it can be kept.

Albert Fuchs landed in New York on
Monday and is expected to reach Chi-
cago today.

Vaughan & Sperry have made connec-
tion with two large rose growers and
are now receiving good sized daily re-
ceipts in all lines.

The A. L. Randall Co. reports good
business in violets and fancy mums, the
local demand being good since the horse
show opened.

Percy Jones, manager of the Growers'
Market, reports that David Reed, pro-
prietor of the Downers Grove Floral Co.
will again send his stock to the Market
after November 1.

J. B. Deamud is getting mums as
good and as plentiful as anyone.

M. Winandy has dropped Meteor in
favor of Liberty, from which he is cut-
ting well.

This is election night at the Florists'
Club. Flower show matters will also be
up for special attention.

The Market.

Eeports in the cut flower trade are
becoming more encouraging each week.
Some pretty good-sized orders were made
up last week for weddings, receptions,
dinners and funerale. Over-the-counter
sales are as yet somewhat slow with the
uptown florists, although downtown they
are reported as fair. The windows of all
the stores are now mostly filled with
chrysanthemums, which are coming in
very freely and in consequence are low-
ering the prices of roses and carnations,
particularly roses. Nearly all flowers,
except carnations, have taken a decided
drop. The quality of the mums is very
good but prices realized are somewhat
lower than those of preceding seasons.
Extra high grade bring $3 per dozen.
Very good blooms can b^ bought for $15
per hundred. Polly Rose and Robinson
are best in white, with Bergmann next.
Some good Yellow Queens and Glory of
Pacific are seen today. There is a scar-
city of good pink so far this season.

Roses, on the whole, are of very good
quality and plenty of them for the de-
mand. Extra fine stock is being bought
at from $4 to $5 per hundred; first and
second grades run $2 and $3. Bride
and Maid are most plentiful, and short
Beauties. Extra good Meteor and Lib-
erty are a little scarce.

Carnations, too, are quite plentiful
and are holding up in price, $2.50 being
asked for fancy and 75 cents to $2 for
good stock, $1 for common. The best
pink is Lawson, though still with short
stems. Joost has good stems. Boston
Market, Hill and Wolcott are best in
white. Estelle is the only good red
just now. Enchantress is in big de-
mand when fancy. The violets are much
better in size and color with the cool
weather. The past week sales on them
were much better, 35 to 50 cents per
hundred being asked for the best.

The season for cosmos, dahlias, tube-
roses and other outdoor flowers is about
ended. In greens the market is well
stocked.

Variotis Notes.

Visitors the past week were A. C. Can-
field and Mrs. Canfield, Springfield, 111.;
MrB. M. S. Vesey, Fort Wayne, Ind.;
W. H. Dreer, Philadelphia; P. J. Haus-
wirth and J. C. Vaughan, Chicago, and
Elmer D. Smith, Adrian, Mich. The

latter three were down to arrange for
the World's Fair flower show next
month.

H. F. Burt, of Taunton, Mass., has a
grand display of dahlias in the Horti-
culture building at the World's Fair.
Mr. Burt, who is here in person, says
that these roots were planted July 12
to 15 and this is the result. There are
nearly 100 varieties on exhibition and a
great attraction.

The table" decorations in the china de-
partment of the Simmons Hardware Co.
drew many ladies Wednesday and Thurs-
day of last week. Ostertag Bros.' table
was for a stag affair, with gold fish pond
in the center and vase of pink pond lilies.
The corner of the room was decorated
with oak leaves which made a pretty ef-
fect. Miss M. S. Newman displayed good
taste in green and white with electrical
effects, using white orchids for the cen-
ter, very pleasing to the eye. C. Young
& Sons' and Mrs. Ellison's tables were
also much admired. Both were made
up of pink orchids and lily of the val-
ley. The tables all came in for their
share of praise from the large crowds
that passed in and out during the two
days that they were on exhibition. Each
visitor was furnished with a slip to cast
a vote for which he considered the best
table, with the result that Ostertag won
first prize. Miss Newman second. Young
& Sons third and Ellison Floral Co.
fourth.

On Thursday night a number of flor-
ists, nurserymen and seedsmen met at
F. M. Ellis' place to discuss the World's
Fair flower show with the executive com-
mittee of the association, who were here
for a day making arrangements regard-
ing the great show with the World's
Fair officials. Everything is satisfac-
torily arranged, so as to go ahead with
the plans that were laid out in Chicago.
A fund of $600 was guaranteed by those
present. A committee was appointed to
co-operate with the national committee,
as follows: J. J. Beneke, Frank M.
Ellis and Fred H. Meinhardt. A spe-
cial meeting of the Florists' Club was
held Saturday night. It was decided to
abandon the proposed chrysanthemum
exhibition in the club rooms November
10, owing to the big show. Additional
subscriptions to the guarantee fund were
made, bringing the local total above
$1,000. The work of the association
was endorsed and the members will do

grand success. The next meeting of the
local club will be held Thursday after-
noon, November 10, and all visitors here
for the big show are invited to attend
the afternoon meeting, J. J. B.

The Market.

Business is showing considerable im-
provement, not that the aggregate sales
foot up any higher, but the demand is
much heavier and in many cases can not
be met. Were it not for that fact sales
would be much larger. What caused the
increased demand it is hard to tell, but
it is likely due to the colder weather
which we are now having. Still there
has been no killing frost and outdoor
flowers are still nicely in bloom. Sev-
eral large funerals have also helped the
market greatly.

There is a good supply of roses of al-
most all kinds, but the best of this stock
is quickly bought up. Beauties are in
very good demand, with prices advancing.
All kinds of roses are of better quality
and consequently bring better returns.
Carnations are plentiful one day and
scarce the next, with the demand fairly
good. Mums are not quite so plentifuL

There are lots of culls and third-grade
blooms suitable for funeral work, but
first-class stock is scarce. Violets are be-
ginning to be called for and the price
has almost doubled. The singles are pre-
ferred here. Other stock is about as
last reported.

Various Notes.

AH plans are working smoothly for a
first-class flower show this year. These
shows, gfiven by the Florists' Society,
have always been very successful and this
year will be no exception. Many growers
have already signified their intention of
making exhibits. This is the very best
time for growers having new varieties to
send them in to be seen by the boys, as
there is always a large number of the
craft on hand, with many out of town
growers also. The date this year is Sat-
urday, November 12. Kindly send all
blooms prepaid to the Cincinnati Florists '
Society, Jabez Elliott Flower Market, in
care of the superintendent, and they will
be properly staged and cared for.

Chas. Pommert reports a very good
•crop of gold fish this year, very nicely
colored. He makes a specialty of them
and his farm at Amelia is well worth
a visit. He also raises "green goods"
of the best quality.

From present indications there will be
from fifteen to twenty of the boys of this
city who will make the trip to Rich-
mond, Ind., Thursday. It will give them
a chance to see the chrysanthemum in all
its glory.

E. G. Gillett was in Springfield Mon-
day, attending the funeral of his oldest
brother, who died Saturday after an ill-
ness extending over several years.

Visitors were Miss White, Lexington,
Ky., and Fred Fulle, of Richmond. Ind.

The Market.

The increasing output of chrysanthe-
mums has caused a general weakening in
prices the past week. Stock has cleared
•out well, however, very little being left
over any day, except short-stemmed roses
and low grade chrysanthemums. About
#3 per dozen has been the top price on
Beauties. Bride and Bridesmaid of best
<juality have averaged from $6 to $8,

Silene are coming to the Park Street
Market, selling at 75 cents per bunch
of twenty-five. Some good Kaiserin and
Carnot still come in. Best carnations
have held at $3. All good stock has
brought $2, ordinary grades $1. Chrys-
anthemums are now very plentiful and
of unusually good quality. The top
price seems to have been $2 per dozen,
although $2.50 was obtained for some
select blooms. About $1.50 has been a
fair average price for nice flowers, while
the low grades have brought 35 cents
to 50 cents per dozen. So far there has
been no glut of these flowers, but some
congestion is likely in the next few
weeks. Single violets clear out well.
Those from Wm. Sim bring 75 cents
per hundred. Doubles continue small.
Some nice mignonette has appeared, as
well as a few Cypripedium insigne.
Asparagus and adiantum remain about
the same.

Chrysanthemum Show Notes.
A joint conference of members of the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society,
Gardeners' and Florists' Club, Park

Club in regard to the entertainment of
visiting members of the C. S. A. was

held on October 22. Arrangements are

enthusiastic throughout. Three new
members were elected. The report of
the finance committee in regard to the
coming chrysanthemum show was quite
satisfactory. J. K. M. L. Farquhar was
the speaker of the evening, telling of his
trip to European floricultural centers.
Kenneth Finlayson spoke of Chrysan-
themum leucanthemum superbum as a
magnificent plant. He saw it in bloom
in Europe, last year, from August to
November, height two and one-half to
five feet, flowers five to six inches across,

NEWPORT. R. L

Trade has been fair the past week, a
few weddings, a few dinner decorations
and some funeral work. Carnations are
now coming quite good and plentiful,
and retail for 75 cents a dozen. Other
flowers show no especial change. No
heavy frost to kill outdoor stuflf as yet.

Chrysanthemums are coming better
«very day, but there will be no glut.
Since we have had no chrysanthemum
show here the private places have to a
great extent stopped growing them, which
gives the entire field to the florists.

Hitchings & Co. have about finished a
fern house for R. L. Beekman. John
Urquhart, the head gardener, will soon
have a nice range of houses. The palm
house built last spring was stocked by
Leikens, who will also furnish the ferns
needed.

Oscar ?chultz has been doing an in-
creasing business and has recently ex-
tended three of his houses some fifty feet
each.

Florist Schultz took two of the four
prizes at the recent show, for dinner
table decorations.

A large quantity of hardy native rho-
dodendrons have arrived for Reginald C,
Vanderbilt's place.

Joseph G. Leikens has rented the store
at 110 Bellevue avenue for the summer
season of 1905.

The Newport Horticultural Society held
its regular meeting October 19. Presi-
dent James J. Sullivan was in the chair.
William J. Matson, gardener to Miss
Alice Keteltas, was elected a member.
It was voted to hold the annual ball
sometime previous to December 1.

TEMPERATURES.

Will you please let me know through
the Eeview at what temperature aspara-
gus and rhubarb can be grown in the
same house f Could bottom heat be used
successfully? Could beans and cauli-
flower be grown in one house?

B. P. T.

Asparagus requires a rather higher
temperature than rhubarb, but if both
are to be grown in one house they will
•do fairly well at a night temperature of
■60 degrees.

Beans and cauliflower can both be
grown in one house if a night tempera-
ture of 55 degrees is maintained. The
beans would grow faster at a tempera-
ture of 60 degrees, but they will pro-
duce just as good a crop at 55 degrees,
although the crop would, of course, take
j-atber longer to mature.

W. S. Ceoydon.

FORCING RHUBARB.

Before beginning to force this plant
It is most essential that it be subjected
to suflScient frost so that the clumps will
be well frozen through. As it is neces-
sary to lift the earliest batch before the
frost is strong enough to penetrate to
fluffieient depth, the clumps had better be
lifted and left on the surface of the
ground for a night or two, where 10 to
12 degrees of frost will be sufficient to
freeze them hard enough. Before the
ground freezes too hard, all that are re-
quired for the winter supply should be
lifted and stored where they can be con-
veniently reached when wanted. The
clumps can either be placed in some
building where it will be likely to freeze
and, when covered up, will stay frozen,
or piled up outdoors, subjected to just
enough frost to freeze them through and
then covered up well with straw or lit-
ter, so that they will stay just about
as they are, neither freezing harder nor

thawing out. Boards can be placed over
the litter to shed the rains, or if these
cannot conveniently be had, sufficient
soil can be thrown over the pUe to accom-
plish the purpose.

Rhubarb can be forced under green-
house benches, but where it is intended
to go into the forcing of this subject to
any extent, it is better to have a place
fixed up for this purpose. A frost-proof
cellar with sufficient piping to maintain
a temperature of 55 to 60 degrees is an
ideal place, light being unnecessary.

Quite a good deal of soil will adhere
to the roots and the clumps should be
set together as close as they can be
packed. Little covering will be neces-
sary, but we use leaf-mold or similar
light material to fill up the larger open-
ings, so as to retain an equal moisture
around the roots. For convenience in
watering and picking the crop we place
the clumps in beds four feet wide and
leave sufficient space for one to walk be-
tween the beds.

Watering and dampening will have to
be regulated according to the tendency
of the atmosphere of the house. If
this dries up rather quickly, frequent
sprinkling will be necessary, possibly two
or three times a day, as a moist atmos-
phere must always be maintained. The
roots should be kept moist, but never
heavily soaked, and after the growth is
well started it can be strengthened by
frequent applications of weak liquid ma-
nure.

In the gathering of the crop, experi-
ence is necessary to know just when it
is at its best. The length will vary with
the strength of the crowns. The idea is
to get the stalks as long as possible, but
yet while they are still crisp and firm,
but if pulling is delayed too long they
not only become tough and dry, but lose
in weight.

After the best of the crop is gathered
it does not pay to wait for the weaker
stalks to gather strength, as they never
amount to much, and it is best to pull
them off and let them go for what they
will bring, so that the spent roots can
be removed and fresh ones put in the
place they occupy. W. S. Croydon.

A TOUR AMONG CALIFORNIA
SEED GROWERS.

Twenty-five years ago, in the middle
west, it was thought that seed not brand-
ed with an eastern label was below stand-
ard. The few seed stores that our
hustling western cities boasted of at that
time were hardly more than agencies for
eastern houses, and the majority of the
market gardeners of these cities sent east
for their seeds. Onion seed from New
England and other favored points on the
Atlantic coast was then considered the
only safe stock. California seed was
spoken of, but it was the bugbear of the
gardener and although a shrewd few of
the New England jobbers were "on"
that it was all right and did not hesi-
tate to secure good lumps of their stock
from California, they took good care to
brand it with their own eastern label
before sending it back to the planters of
the Mississippi Valley. It took years to
overcome the feeling against California
grown seed, not because of any prejudice
in the matter, but on account of the
well prepared early arguments of the
eastern travelers that climatic conditions
combined with the inexperience of the
California growers precluded the possi-
bility of producing a proper article there.

This is somewhat ancient history, but
it will answer the purpose of calling at-
tention to the photographic views print-
ed herewith. We are indebted to C. C.
Morse & Co., Santa Clara, Cal., for the
originals of these views. They show parts
of the Gilroy seed farm, one of the Cali-
fornia ranches of this well known firm,
and represent in a fair way the general
appearance, at the stated times, of all
the seed farms in that great seed-growing
section of California that borders on the
Pacific coast, from Los Angeles north to

San Francisco, and up the river toward
Sacramento.

A trip through the territory toward
the end of June is a liberal education for
a seedsman. He will note that the uni-
formity of the climate is one of the main
reasons why seed crops are so success-
fully grown there. The grower may gen-
erally safely rely upon a certain kind of
weather at a given time and can adjust
his operations accordingly. The old idea
that the climate of California is not suit-
able for the proper maturing of a vege-
table ahd not safe for producing a re-
liable duality of seed, was based upon
ignorance more than anything else. It is
a fact ;hat irrigation, when moisture is
needed, I and an almost dead certainty of
dry weather to harvest the crop in, puts
the California grower so far in advance
of the grower who is up against uncertain
weather for planting and harvesting that
there is no chance of competition upon
even terms. This applies to the general
run of standard garden seeds, and when
time has been given to the development
of the resources of California it is likely
that many of the specialties that are now
thought to be best produced at other
points will be grown in California just
as well and more economically.

Beginning at San Diego and going
north to Los Angeles there is not much
to interest the seedsman except fields
of sugar beet and some very extensive
plantings of pole beans; 3,000 acres of
beans on a ranch some twenty or thirty
miles south of Los Angeles the vrriter
was told was the largest planting in that
neighborhood, and to look at it was cer-
tainly very extensive ; nothing else could
be seen on one side of the track but the
bean vines, the sky and the mountains
beyond. Having eaten a plate of Logan
berries that morning for breakfast, and
the delicious flavor of them being still
with him, one of the party hoped that
the 3,000 acres might be a crop of that
fruit instead of beans. He did not know
what sort of a plant Logan berries grew
on, as they were new to him up to that

morning. It is certain that no one should
forget to call for Logan berries if he
wants something that tastes good. These
berries seem to be known only in Cali-
fornia.

At Los Angeles there are some very
nice seed stores, and the market gardens
in the vicinity are well looked after and
the produce abundant. Leaving Los An-
geles on the Coast Line railroad, the next

point of interest is Santa Paula. At
this point it was somewhat cloudy and
the writer asked if an umbrella would
be a good thing to take along. The
question was so unusual to the natives
that a laugh was the only reply. Um-
brellas are never needed there at that sea-
son of the year.

John Bodger & Sons are located at
Santa Paula. They are large growers of
tomato seed. Right up to the middle of
December the vines yield fruits which
contain seed. They grow pole beans

and bush limas, lettuce, endive, pepper,
egg plant and salsify. Flower seeds are
aiEo grown, aster being a specialty with
them. They contract seed beans of the
pole varieties with the farmers in their
vicinity and do an extensive business in
this line.

Between Santa Paula and Ventura ia
quite an extensive calla bulb grower.
We drove from Santa Paula to Ventura
along a fine macadamized road, which
they sprinkle with oil. This method of
sprinkling in a dry region is of great
advantage. Ventura county is the princi-
pal section for commercial lima beans.
A Mr. Levy, at Saticoy, operates consid-
erably in this item, but at Ventura, how-
ever, is "the main point for the California
commercial lima and for other pole beans.
J. K. Armsby & Co. are the largest oper-
ators in this line. They have offices in
New York, Chicago and San Francisco.

Mrs. Theodosia B. Shepherd's flower
garden at Ventura is worth all the time
a seedsman can give to it. Many flower
specialties of importance have been hy-
bridized here and the information that
can be gathered from the experts^ who
give it their attention is all the more
interesting from being so cheerfully
given.

Between Ventura and Arroyo Grande
is what is termed the Lompoc district.
Here many acres are given to pole beans
and some of the growers farther north
are interested in the crops of seed beans
in this locality. At Arroyo Grande is
located the Boutzahn Seed Co. Oceana
is the nearest railway station to the low-
er ranch of this firm. It is upon this
ranch that the office and residence of the
manager is situated. This company grows
extensively onion, carrot, lettuce, salsify,
pole beans, sweet peas, nasturtiums and
nearly all varieties of flower seeds. On
named varieties of nasturtiums and sweet
peas they make a specialty. The ocean
fogs have quite an influence upon the
crops in this part of California. The
knowledge that comes from experience
as to what crops need the fogs and what

do not and to place them accordingly on
the different parts ' of the ranch, where
fogs rest, and where they do not rest,
is an asset of considerable value.

The Eoutzahn Seed Co. ia successor to
the McClure Seed Co. The change of
name did not change the management, as
Mr. Boutzahn had been the active head
of the McClure Co. Mr. Boutzahn is
given credit for being able to grow as
large crops of sweet peas and other seeds,
acre for acre, as any one in California.
His location is exceptionally good, and
his experience has been acquired at that
one place only. The continued improve-
ment and growth of the business is due to
his energy and observation since starting
there, as he had no previous trainin£.
The necessity of succeeding made success
possible in his case.

A new company in seed growing has
been started in the vicinity of Arroyo
Grande by Edwin M. Haven, who until
two years ago was a grower of seeds at
Bloomingdale, Mich. Mr. Haven had
quite a long experience in the east and
expects to make a success of his Califor-
nia venture.

The next point of interest in the trip
toward the north is Gilroy, whence came
the pictures accompanying these notes.
What is to be learned there, and farther
on our tour of inspection, will be told
next week.

Wood, StUBBS & Co., Louisville, Ky.,
have received a gold medal award on
their exhibit of garden and field seeds
in the Agriculture building at the St.
Louis World's Fair.

The radish crops from Michigan so far
delivered have yielded fairly well. The
weather since harvest has been against
speedy threshing operations and the aver-
age deliveries will be somewhat delayed.

Nels Swenson's onion set warehouse
at Gen View, 111., was destroyed by fire
Sunday, October 23. Building and con-
tents consisting of about 2,000 bushels,
mostly yellows, were an entire loss. The
sets were held for Peter Hollenbach,
Chicago.

Beans as yet are an unknown quantity.
The straw remains damp in many sec-
tions and threshing is far behind. Ordi-
narily a fair idea of what may be ex-
pected in the way of pro rata deliveries
can be given at this date, but this year
is to be an exception.

In several Wisconsin sections where
peas ordinarily yield five to eight fold,
they turn out only three and one-half to
five fold this year. The wet weather
since harvest has had much to do with
this, the growers having had a serious
time in keeping the peas from spoiling
while in the straw.

Cucumber seed, notwithstanding fa-
vorable fall weather, dries out exceed-
ingly light with all growers who have
completed operations. Even the milling
process, with the latest appliances for
getting out the light seed, fails to bring
out an up to standard sample.

An illustrated account of an eastern
seedsman 's tour of inspection among Cali-
fornia seed growers is begun in this is-
sue. Another installment will appear
next week, covering the Santa Clara dis-
trict, with accounts of the specialties
and methods pursued at each place. If
you receive a sample copy of this issue
and want the rest of the story, send $1

CRENSHAV7 Beos., Tampa, Fla., write
as follows: "Owing to the dry weather
we have experienced in the past few
weeks the velvet bean crop will be cut
somewhat shorter than was anticipated
by growers, but, if no early cold, the
crop will average that of last season.
Prices will probably range in car load
lots from $1.40 to $1.65. The melon
Beed crop harvested out this season bet-
ter than was anticipated."

BRITISH SEEDS.
One of the principal European sources
of supply on turnips, swede and beet, as
well as some other things, is W. W. John-
son & Son, Boston, England. The man-
ager, K J. Deal, visited the principal
dealers in the United States in the spring
of 1903 with the result of largely in-
creasing their business in this country and
few American seedsmen visit England
without spending a day on this firm's
trial grounds at Boston. They do a very
large trade with England's Australasian
colonies, making shipments in large iron
tanks in which the seed bags are packed
and the tanks then hermetically sealed.
Twenty-eight and one-half tons of turnip
seed so packed, each tank weighing near-
ly a ton, were shipped to New Zealand
last season.

in August, and the rooted stem can be
removed to a new position in the follow-
ing spring. As this is a true dianthus,
as much as is our beautiful carnation,
which roots readily in the fall, why
should not the grass pinks also root?
Little heat should be used, either top or
bottom, and if you succeed in rooting
them keep them very cool during winter.

PACIFIC COAST.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market

There is no mistake about it, business
iB certainly ' ' on the bum. ' ' I have never
seen stock move slower than it is doing
at present. The growers are having the
best of it, as the unusually warm weather,
coupled with dry north winds, has made
it a hard proposition to keep anything.
Chrysanthemums are being offered by
the hundreds of thousands and their
quality is good, but the prices realized
are very, very low. Some extra Boniiaf-
fon today sold at $3 per hundred and
they were as fine as it is possible to grow
them outdoors. Of fancy indoor mums
there is quite a quantity being used,
but th^ .are flowering at a poor time
and the majority of the blooms do not
bring over $1 per dozen. Boses are in
good supply and, with the exception of
Beauty, they are not bringing good
prices. There are no good Beauties in
market at present and such as we have
■wholesale at from $1 to $1.50 per dozen.
Carnations are becoming more plentiful
and the quality bids fair to be all right
in a few weeks. The majority of the
carnations offered at this time are cut
from young stock that has just been
transplanted indoors and the stems are
stiff and short. Valley is selling at the
same price quoted several days ago and
there is only a fair demand for it. Out-
side stock is not very plentiful, as our
season for hardy annuals and perennials
is fast drawing to a close. Smilax is
abundant.

Flowers, especially mums, are so
plentiful that the street venders are sell-
ing bunches containing a dozen large,
fine blooms for 25 cents. These are not
flowers of poor quality, either, but just
as good as is being sold in the stores.
They are also handling the superabund-
ance of carnations in the same way and
bunches of very fair flowers can be pur-
chased for 10 cents. Violets are not
overplentiful and are selling wholesale
at 75 cents per dozen bunches.

Various Notes.

John Vallance, manager of the plant
department of the Cox Seed Co., has re-
turned from a several weeks' vacation
spent in Southern California. Mr. Val-
lance visited the principal nurseries and
orchards during his trip and reports a
very pleasant outing.

The San Mateo Floral Society will give
an exhibition on October 28 and 29 in
the Athletic Club building.

D. Greuttner, the pioneer nurseryman
of Vallejo, has opened a floral establish-
ment on Virginia street in that city.

James Sproule, formerly manager of
the Sunset Seed and Plant Co., is in
town. G.

HANDLING SEEDLINGS.

the year when great care must be ex-
ercised in handling seedlings that are
yet in the seed boxes. I refer princi-
pally tfl hard wooded stock, such as pit-
tosporum, acacia, pepper, palms, gum,
cedars, pines and many other young
plants. These are grown from seed,
planted usually in the late spring or early
summer, and by the present month should

be big enough to transplant into flats or
thumb pota Some of the kinds I have
mentioned we do not handle except in
small pots and, as this will not be ad-
visable before the early spring, the prob-
lem of keeping the young stock from
damping off during the next four months
is a serious one.

To begin with, the majority of growers
plant the seed too thickly. I have seen
1,500 Acacia melonxylen transplanted
from a flat 14x20 inchea This may
be done in the fall if the weather is dry
and plenty of sunshine, but I venture
to say not one-tenth of them could be
kept alive until January if allowed to
remain in the bed. When a grower is
not sure as to the germinating power
of the seed he is planting it is, of course,
well enough to seed the boxes heavily,
but when the seed is treah 300 is plenty
to plant in the flats generally used here,
about 14x20 inches. Even with this num-
ber of young trees in a box considerable
care must be exercised to escape damp-
ing off. They must never be allowed to
become thoroughly dry and be careful
not to water during spells of bright
sunshine if your stock is not shaded. And
here is another trouble. Too much shade
is fatal to the class of seedlings I am
describing. If the watering is properly
done, in the early morning or evening,
the stock rarely wants any shade at all
and will grow much heavier and stronger
if plenty of light is always given.

We have had a very favorable autumn
.Tnd there will not be much trouble until
the arrival of dark, rainy weather, when
it always becomes quite a problem to
winter seedlings that have not been trans-
planted from seed flats. If the grower
has plenty of house room it is well
enough to risk potting up acacias, pep-
pers, pittosporums and stock of that
olass, although there is nothing perma-
nent to be gained by it unless the seed-
lings are too close together.

This young stock will have to be kept
in the greenhouse until next spring, but

with gums, cypress, cedars, pines, arbor-
vitffis, etc, it is better to keep them out
in the open, as they are perfectly hardy
here. Small seedlings easily get too
much water when kept outside in the
rainy season and those that are only half
hardy succumb to a superabundance of
moisture as quickly as they do to an
excess of frosty^ weather. The majority
of seedlings should be transplanted into
3 or 4-inch pots when they are about
one year old, and after that time they
can generally be depended on to look
after themselves regarding growing qual-
ities. G.

The considerable amount of business
booked compelled many nurserymen to
begin planting several weeks ago, strip-
ping the leaves from such subjects as
can be handled that way, for in most
sections the stock is still in almost full
leafage.

The fine Indian summer weather has
not had the approval of the nurserymen.
Not only has the stock refused to stop
growing, but some things have flowered
again. It promises to cut the planting
season short and a sudden freeze might
leave the storage houses empty.

The Market

The stores this week had one of those
periods of ups and downs. There were
Bome good orders floating around and you
would find some busy one day and some
another, but most of them complained of
having had some very poor days. The
phop windows are largely decorated with
mums and autumn leaves, which are very
beautiful this fall. The chrysanthemum
fcason is now on in earnest.

Various Notes.

H. C. Frick opened his conservatories
at his residence in the east end to the
public Sunday, and they will be open to
all visitors until the mum season is over.
The grand display of orchids and chrys-
anthemums reflects much credit on Da-
vid Frazier, the gardener, and was ap-
preciated by the many visitors.

Superintendent Geo. Burke, of Schen-
ley park, has had his force busily en-
gaged for a week arranging the chrys-
anthemum display at the Phipps con-
servatory. The stock is said to be in
excellent condition, although owing to
the warm weather they have come out
much earlier than expected. The show
will open October 30 instead of one week
later, as intended. This is always a
grand show and is one of the fall fea*
tures of this city. The railroads run
excursions during the riiow and thou-
sands of people from a distance take ad-
vantage of them to visit these beauti-
ful conservatories and are well repaid.

Superintendent Wm. Hamilton will
open his chrysanthemum show at the
Phipps conservatory, Allegheny park, Oc-
tober 30, and Jas, Moore, the foreman,
is getting things in shape for a treat
for the AUeghenians. Beside the mums
he will also have a house of orchids in
bloom and one of begonias. The splen-

did weather we have had has also brought
this show on one week earlier than was
intended. These three shows are gotten
up on a grand scale and among them one
can find specimens of almost any variety
worthy of cultivation, and as they are
arranged with other plants in the most
artistic manner, one should see them all.

The war of carnations still goes on in
the Liberty Market. According to an
evening paper last Saturday the market
was crowded with flower buyers taking
advantage of the cheap fl.owers, as car-
nations were still selling two dozen for
25 cents and chrysanthemums 50 cents
per dozen.

The writer, in his notes of October 13,
made mention of the dahlias John Bader
saw in California, and as Mr. Bader
takes exceptions to the size which I men-
tioned, 30 inches in diameter, I wish

to correct myself. What Mr. Bader
really said was that he saw larger dahlias
in California than he has seen in this
country or in Europe.

We had the first light snow flurry Sat-
urday, October 22. The day was one of
the miserable kind and had its effect
on business.

Wm. Loew and Jos. Jones have opened
a new cut flower store on Diamond street
and, as they are both well known, should
make it a success.

The Greeks are bobbing up here and
there with flower stands and I presume
by the time the season is really on we
will have enough to satisfy all demands.

Al. Sheapard's familiar face can be
seen in the Liberty Flower Market stand,
wrapping them up in good shape.

H. T. Miller, of Salem, 0., was one
of the visitors this week. Hoo-Hoo.

T LIKE the Eeview and would not be

trade took all the stock; did not have
enough and had to buy through the ad-

DORCHESTER. MASS.

Some time during the night of Septem-
ber 23 some party or parties entered the
T. H. Meade greenhouses, on Wrentham
street, Dorchester, which are now con-
<[ueted by the L. H. Foster estate, break-
ing open the cellar door, and also the
door into the potting shed. They were
not content with breaking into the place,
but deliberately performed a most das-
tardly act by deliberately punching a
large hole in a No. 6 Weathered boiler
which had been fitted with new grates
and was all ready for firing up. The
employes of the place cannot see how any
stranger could have entered, as a dog is
kept there every night and he has no
use for strangers, so they are convinced
that it must be some one well acquainted
with the dog and the place who commit-
ted the malicious act.

OsHKOSH, Wis. — Geo. Miles, son of
the late Isaac Miles, the pioneer florist
of Oshkosh, died at Seattle, Wash., last

LOUISVILLE, KY.

There is not a great deal of life in
business as yet. The weather is warm
and plenty of flowers outdoors.. A
good frost would help the trade along.
Lots of stock is coming into the market.
Some very fine chrysanthemums are to
be seen and roses are of good quality.
Beauties take the lead, as usual. .Car-
nations are not as yet plentiful, owing
to the excessive heat we are having, but
the prospects are bright.

Jacob Schulz's carnations will be a
sight when they come into bloom. They
are looking fine.

Jos. Coenen & Co. had a wedding dec-
oration this week. Lots of roses and
smilax were used.

The A. Heitz place is in fine order.
He will have a fine lot of pot mums for
All Saints' day.

Henry Fuchs has just completed put-
ting in a steam boiler and has added two
more houses to his plant.

Leo Zeller, formerly with Jacob Schulz,
has started in business. He will grow
carnations chiefly.

A. Bauraer is making a handsome dis-
play in his show window of roses and
cut chrysanthemums. August knows
how to go at it.

Mr. and Mrs. Fred Haupt have re-
turned from their long trip to the Golden
Gate and enjoyed it ever so much.

F. Walker & Co. are building a green-
house in the rear of their store for palms
and ferns.

C. W. Keimers, of Crescent Hill, is
sending in some very fine American Beau-
ties and chrysanthemums.

On Sunday, October 16, a party of
florists, consisting of Jos. Coenen, Jno.
Bohrraan, Fred Schulz, Hy. Fuchs, Mr.
and Mrs. Joe Werth and Hy. Lichtefeld,
made a trip to Cincinnati, took dinner
at Rigg's and after dinner took a car
at Fountain Square out to Lockland and
visited the establishment of W. K. Par-
tridge. We found the gentleman at home
on his beautiful place. Through the
kindness of Mr. Partridge the party was
shown through the different houses. His
roses and carnations are a picture of
health. Here was seen a red seedling
carnation which took the eye of everyone
and made a good impression. It was a
bright red and had a good stem and large
flowers. Hy. Lichtefeld.

MINNEAPOLIS.

L. S. Donaldson has bought the E. J.
Mendenhall greenhouses and the real es-
tate used in connection with the busi-
ness. Mr. Mendenhall has been in the
business forty-five years. The sale marks
his retirement from business after be-
ing a resident of Minneapolis since 1856.

Mr. Donaldson secures the greenhouses
and property on First avenue S. between
Eighteenth and Nineteenth, and running
through to Stevens avenue. He will im-
mediately put the stock on the market.
The greenhouses will be closed out. What
the improvements to the property will be
has not been determined, but they will
be extensive.

West Superior, Wis. — James S. Mar-
shall is making extensive repairs and im-
provements in his greenhouses on Hughitt
avenue.

Larwill, Ind. — F. A. KnuU has just
added another house 10x65. He grows
lettuce, pot plants and mums and has
a prosperous trade.

The Weekly Florists^ Review.

OcxoBEB 27, 1904.

DENVER.

The Market.

Colorado climate at this time of year
is very notional and climatic influences,
to a great extent, regulate the demand
for and values of flowers. Up to Octo-
ber 18 the weather has been very favor-
able to the production of outdoor flow-
ers and such material has been more
beautiful than at earlier stages of the
summer; consequently the sale of green-
house stuff has been rather slow and the
supply, except carnations, has been far
in excess of the demand. The sale of
cut mums up to date has been very sat-
isfactory to some of the dealers who
have been fortunate enough to dispose of
their Robinsons, Monrovias and other
early varieties long before they were
anywhere near developed. Aspect of
greenhouse and other favorable condi-
tions have enabled some growers to
clean out their whole crop of early varie-
ties before others think of starting to
cut the same varieties. True, such cuts
were of that soft character that, if not
disposed of at once by the retailer, are
a great loss to him and, if sold, a great
disappointment to his patrons, but the
grower is satisfied, as the flowers brought
as good prices in this condition as the
perfect flowers will at a later date,
when there is a surplus.

Variotts Notes.

The Park Floral Co. has a mum house
which is very promising. The new pink,
Wm. Duckham, is behaving itself very
well, sturdy growth with no inclination
to weaken at the neck or sacrifice its
equilibrium for the sake of the blossom.
Perhaps some will think it is too stiff
in growth. Its compact growth and
dense foliage would lead one to hope
for a good pot variety and fill a want
long felt.

Many of the florists out here have
been allowing themselves to think that
Glory of Pacific was all right, which it
is as far as earliness is concerned, but
its familiarity has bred contempt and
many have concluded to banish it. Ben
Boldt 's plants of this variety were
magnificent, but color and form of flow-
er were against them.

Pot mums are now occupying a large
portion of the growers' attention and
prominent positions in the retailers
stores. Considering the character of the
stock and the large supply on hand, the
prospects for a profitable and quick
clean-up are not very encouraging.
Quality has been sacrificed for quantity
and all interested, from the grower to
the retailer, will have to suffer the con-
sequences.

Lilium speciosum, both album and
rubrum, has been grown here for several
years as a pot plant with very satisfac-
tory results, more for cut flowers than
otherwise. Flowering at a time when
choice flowers are scarce makes them of
special value for decorations and other
work. The smaller flowers make up
nicely into bouquets for bridal parties.
They are much admired on account of
their orchid-like appearance.

Mahler is now furnishing the market
with fair violets, considering the un-
favorable weather we have had.

Fred Hall is supplying the retailers
with a fine lot of Libertiep, and Scott
considers them the best roses of this
type and color on the market.

provement Association, under whose aus-
pices the flower show is held, has put up
« prize. A banquet will be given the
visiting florists in the Elk's Club. It is
expected a large crowd will be down from

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

October 27, 1904.

DETROIT.

It has been some time since any De-
troit notes have appeared in the columns
of the Review, but your scribe has been
so busy that he has had neither time nor
inclination to take his pen in hand, but
the florists of this city and vicinity are
an easy-going lot anyway and it takes a
convention or a hail storm to arouse
them, or one of the "Great Scott" par
ables. Everyone is prepared for a good
winter's business and praying that we
may not have another cold winter like
Ihe last one.

-The past week or ten days of sunshine
and warmth have rushed the stock for-
ward so that the retailers have not been
able to care for it, especially roses and
jnums, but cooler weather has now set
in and better returns are looked for.
<:arnations are looking fine, with very
little disease, the bulk of the plantings
being Lawson and it looks as if another
year it would still be Lawson, for
White Lawson looks as promising as the
parent.

On Thursday, October 27, the Michi-
gan Cut Flower Exchange will keep
open house in the new home, which is
as finely fitted for the business as any
Ki'ommission house in the country.

President Breitmeyer is very enthu-
siastic over the World's Fair flower
show and it will be a grand success if
his work can make it so.

The annual outing to Mt. Clemens
takes place on Friday, October 28, and
I will try and give your readers a few
notes on how stock looks in the Bath
City. Kag.

We think the Review our best publica-
-tion.— W. J. Miller & Son.

PIPING A HOUSE.

I am building a greenhouse 20x32 feet,
three-quarter span and sixteen feet to
ridge. The gables are glass and there
is eighteen inches of glass in the south
■wall. The door is at the east end and a
four-foot bench extends all around the
liouse save for the entrance and door to
the boiler room, with a wide bench in
the center. The boiler sets three feet be-
low the walks and about one-third of the
■way from the east end. I want to heat
■with water and must have 55 to 60 de-
grees in zero weather. How shall I pipe
the house? C. L. P.

This house can be heated by carrying a
•2-inch riser from the boiler to a point
•under the ridge, then in both directions
to the west and to the east ends of the
bouse. At the west end bring the flow
under the bench and divide it into three
2-inch pipes and arrange them in two
<joil8, one to go north and return under
the north bench to the boiler, the other
•coil to go to the south and terminate in
A manifold near the door at the east end.
From this manifold run one 2-inch pipe
tinder the walk to the boiler.

If it is desirable to place heat under
the short bench at the east end of the
liouse and between the entrance and tlie
•door to the boiler shed it can be pro-
vided by a short three-pipe coil taken
^rom the riser carried to the east " end
•of the house, or it might be heated by an
independent riser taken directly from the
boiler.

Another plan of piping might be pro-
vided. The riser from the boiler might, if
it is desirable to have all the heat under
the benches, be taken from the boiler
through the wall and under the
north bench to the west end, across
the west end and along the south side and
to the doorway on the east end and there
divide into three 2-inch returns to return
under the benches by the same course.
This will provide a little more radiation
than the first mentioned plan and would
enable the house to be held at from 65 to
70 degrees in cold weather. L. C. C.

Cleveland, O. — J. M. Gasser is at
French Lick, Ind., taking the treatment
at the springs.

VENTILATION.

The excellent weather we are having
should be taken full advantage of to
get our stock into good winter condition.
There is now every opportunity to give
ample ventilation, both night and day,
and no chance should be missed, as the
season is not far off when these oppor-
tunities will be few and far between.

The rose, as we know it, being neither
a tropical nor a greenhouse plant, but
strictly a native of temperate climes, is
only introduced into our houses with a
view to prolonging and changing its
season of blooming, and requires, as near
as we can possibly make it, the condi-
tions and temperature prevailing in its
native habitat when nature is in its
most pleasant mood. We should bear in
mind that by confining our rose plants
to the house we are depriving them of
the free, fresh air which they enjoy in
a state of nature, and if we neglect to
provide for them they must suffer and
die.

An insufficiency of air supply will soon
cause even the most robust plants to
lose their vitality, a fact which will soon
be evidenced by the poor quality of foli-
age produced. This soon becomes thin
and flabby, with a sickly green color,
and becomes susceptible to all kinds of
diseases and trouble. Being lacking in
vitality, the stock is unable to make any
headway against it.

To enable us to supply our stock with
fresh air in suitable quantities and to
create a free circulation we provide our
houses with ventilators of the most ap-
proved patterns, yet many of the less
experienced growers use these only to let
the superfluous heat of the sun escape.
A little consideration, study and prac-
tice will, in most cases, convince these
growers that it is more profitable to ven-
tilate freely, even at the expense of a
larger coal bill, and not allow the venti-
lators to remain closed one minute longer
than necessary.

The true art of ventilation, as prac-
ticed by our expert growers, consists of
gradually raising or lowering the ven-
tilators as exigencies demand, without
raising or lowering the temperature.
Thus, if the thermometer shows a tem-
perature of 62 degrees at 7 a. m., with a
tendency to rise, the sash should be
raised just so far as to allow the temper-
ature to remain at that figure, without
falling below it. As the temperature
still continues to rise, the ventilators
should be raised accordingly, but never
80 much at a time as to lower the tem-
perature.

During the afternoon, when reduction
becomes necessary, the same care should
be used so that after each reduction the
temperature should not increase.

Night ventilation requires quite as
much attention to insure success and
should be given freely when the weather
is mild, and even during very cold
weather a small crack of air is essential
to keep up a good circulation.

By strictly adhering to this practice we
secure a better class of foliage, foliage
which is almost immune from the rav-
ages of mildew, a better stem and blooms
of superior size, shape, color and quality,
with a smaller per centage of malformed
buds. The keeping qualities of the flow-
ers will also be considerably enhanced.
The vigor and vitality imparted to the
plant, enabling it to withstand disease,
will repay the extra cost of fuel required.

POOR SOIL TO BLAME.

I have sent you a sample rose bush
and soil which I would be pleased to
have you examine. The cutting was
propagated in January, when ready
potted in a 2%-inch pot, and so on. On
August 30 it was planted in a side bed
in the rose house, in one half of which is
planted Perle and the other half Bride
and Bridesmaid. The Perles are fine

but many of the latter are no good at
all. Please give me your opinion of the
cause of the trouble. A. B.

The specimen rose sent is about the
poorest I have ever had to pass an opin-
ion on and I would not expect much
better from the class of soil in which it
was grown.

It is against the best cultural meth-
ods to put rooted cuttings into 2%.-inch
pots for a first potting, 2-inch pots being
large enough, even for Beauty cuttings,
if they are potted as they should be, be-
fore the roots become too large.

Deferring the planting till August 30
is not giving even a robust plant any
kind of a show, the very best of the
growing season being practically over by
that time. The old and well defined
limit of July 4 usually sees the finish of
rose planting.

The soil is of a very poor character
and not at all suitable for rose culture,
there being really nothing in it to sus-
tain the plant with the exception of the
small nodules of clay interspersed
through it and to which the roots have
clung as their only protection against
final extinction.

If the rest of the roses are like the
sample there is certainly no hope of ever
getting returns from them. I may also
point out that the foliage bears unmis-
takable evidence of neglected ventila-
tion. A careful study of this art will
repay the grower.

Perles will stand more abuse in the
matter of ventilation, poor soil aqd neg-
lect, than will Brides and Maids and will
look a little better under similar con-
ditions. Try a night temperature of 56
degrees, with a good crack of air on and
allow the day temperature to rise as
high as 70 degrees during bright sun-
shine and ventilate freely. Do not allow
the plants to suffer from want of water,
as this sample has evidently done, and
do not attempt to feed until the planta
have attained a vigorous growth.

CARNATION NOTES.-EAST.

Mulching.

As stated last week, in notes on the
advisability of mulching, the procedure
with stock grown under glass all sum-
mer will not be the same as with that
grown in the field, lifted and benched.
It stands to reason that bench soil in
which stock has been growing all sum-
mer is not in the same mechanical con-
dition as fresh soil, into which nearly
or quite mature plants have recently
been put. The repeated and at times
heavy watering necessary during the
hot weather, together with the spread
of root system, will have done much
to change this condition.

It will be noticed, when supplying
water, how quickly it disappears, par-
ticularly when the surface soil has nor
recently been broken up. This indicates

that the root system has spread to such
extent as to honeycomb the soil, so to
speak, allowing water when applied to
take a more direct downward course.
This is the natural result of healthy
gowth, but the quantity and depth of
soil in the bench being limited, this ex-
tension of root system cannot go on
always without assistance. To be sure,
it is not according to the best methods
of culture that it should continue as in
the summer, still there must be some
growth of roots.

Feeding with liquid manure will not
accomplish the desired result, besides
it is too early yet to feed. While a top
dressing might be a help, the exact ob-
ject sought would not be attained. A
mulch, however, will serve a double
purpose: Add fertility to the bench soil
and encourage further growth of roots.

It is quite probable that these in-
door plants are now giving a supply of
bloom so the careful removal of some
of the surface soil, when on the dry
side, will result in no harm but will

allow for the application of a heavier
mulch. Particular conditions, however,
may favor two light mulches rather
than one heavy one.

In any case use fresh soil and fairly
well rotted manure, with a sprinkling
of air-slaked lime, Follow the re-
moval of bench soil immediately with
the application of the mulch, watering
at once if weather and time of day will
permit. Geo. S. Osborn.

CARNATION NOTES. -WEST.

InsectSj and Feedincf.

Now that you have commenced firing
you will have to be even more watchful
than you have been during the last two
or three months. There are more dan-
gers lurking, ready to attack the plants,
than before. The one pest which firing
seems to favor more than any other is
red spider. In the out-of-way corners,
where the steam pipes run close to the
plants, they will breed and multiply by
the million and unless you are constant-
ly looking for them and fighting them
they will soon spread over a whole bed
or house. A plant that is badly in-
fested with red spider is in poor shape
to go through a hard winter and come
out in good condition. To have your

as far as the strength and health of
the plants can affect it.

Green fly seem to flourish, too, after
firing commences, and regular fumigat-
ing is necessary to keep them down.
Best of all, do not allow them to ap-
pear at all. Thrips, too, will show in
white spots on the pink and red varieties.
Lawson is one of their favorite va-
rieties. Spray about once each week in
the morning of a bright day with To-
bak-ine liquid to keep these two pests in
subjection, especially the latter.

Examine the soil each morning to find
the dry places. You will find, along the
south edges and where the steam pipes
are close, much more water is needed
than in the middle or on the north
sides of the beds. If your beds are
raised, and especially if there be heat-
ing pipes underneath, you should dig
down to the bottom occasionally and ex-
amine the soil clear to the bottom. If
you water properly, it will not dry out
at the bottom without being dry at the
surface. Water only the dry spots until
the whole bed is dry enough to take a
thorough soaking, and then wet it clear
through. If you have mulched the beds
}'ou will have to be all the more care-
ful in examining, as you can tell noth-
ing about the soil by the appearance of
the manure.

Pkasins Effects with Every-day MateriaL

plants in perfect health at this date
18 the main thing, much more essential
than to be cutting lots of blooms this
early. There is a long season ahead
for cutting blooms, but the good weather
for building up a strong, healthy plant
is nearly over now. What you have
failed to do along that line up to now
cannot be made up. Your winter's crop
is either made or ruined by this time,

There are a few varieties which we
rather not mulch at this season of the
year, because it retards evaporation too
much. Such varieties as Flora Hill, In-
nocence and a few others which are
troubled more or less in winter with bac-
teria, seem to do better without mulch-
ing. They like to run on the dry side
a good deal. Keep the liquid food away
from them, too, until toward spring. In

fact, don't be in a hurry about the feed-
ing, anyway. If your soil was good the
plants will have plenty of nourishment
to draw from except perhaps for a lit-
tle wood-ashes to stiffen the stems or
a little lime to sweeten the soil.

Soil for Next Season.

If it is possible to do so, it will pay
you to select your soil for next season
before the faU rains set in. It need
not necessarily be a plot of sod, but it
should be good, strong soil, which lies
rather high. Soil from a piece of land
that lies high will not sour so quickly as
that from low land. Plow it deeply and
let it lie as rough as possible. Spread
over it a good coat of manure toward
spring, after it has frozen thoroughly,
and plow again as early as possible in
the spring. If the soil is of a heavy
nature, use stable straw manure, but if
it is rather light, you would better use
cow manure. If you cannot follow this
method, you will do well to have the
soil hauled to your place this fall and
put in a pile, not too high to prevent
the frost from penetrating through it.
In the spring you can turn it again and
pile it up a little more, if you like, and
by midsummer you will have good soil
to plant in. A. F. J. Batjr.

VARIETIES TO GROW.

I wish to buy some field-grown car-
nation plants, deep red, pink and white,
also variegated. I want fairly prolific
varieties. Will you please advise me
what will be best in Georgia? T. W.

If you are a beginner I would advise
you to get a good assortment of vari-
eties to begin with. One or two vari-
eties in each color is all right for a
man who knows the varieties, knows
just how to handle them, and knows
just what his market demands. You
are in a much warmer climate, too,
than ours, and varieties which are best
here may not do at all in your locality.
Warm-blooded varieties ought to prove
best for you, but you will have to ex-
periment and find out for yourself. Try
Crane, America and Estelle for red;
Mrs. Lawson, Ethel Crocker and Flor-
iana for pink; Flora Hill, Queen Louise
and Gov. Wolcott for white. Prosperity
might come white for you most of the
season. Viola Allen, Marshall Field
and Mrs. Bradt are all good striped
ones. I might add Enchantress to the
pink class. I did not include any of
last spring's novelties, as most of them
are strangers to me except what I have
been able to see of them thus far this
season. Although most of them look
very promising, yet we can say but lit-
tle until later in the season.

the best vase of fifty.

The Lawson medals will be given, as
usual, the gold medal for the best 100
any color, the silver medal for the sec-
ond best, and the bronze medal for the
third best. The S. A. F. silver medal
will be awarded to the best vase of fifty
blooms of an undisseminated variety,
the bronze medal for the second best.

ORIENTAL POPPY.

How and when should plants be taken
from the oriental poppy t I. B. B.

The oriental poppy may be divided in
fall or spring, but as it is late now I
would advise waiting until early spring.
This poppy is also easily raised from seed
sown in small pots in spring, so that
when planted the roots will not be dis-
turbed more than is absolutely necessary,
as all poppies are difficult to transplant.

CUT WORMS.

Can any reader of the Revxew give a
good method of catching cut worms in
greenhouse benches besides hand picking?
I have tried several ways to poison them,
to no avail, and have to hunt for them
after dark at night, sitting up after usual
hours for bed, waiting for them to come
out of their hiding places. Of course
I understand that they bury themselves
just under the soil in the daytime, and
have gone over the benches very care-
fully and concluded that we had caught
them all, but when evening came there
seemed to be as many as ever. We get
rid of them after a while, but you can't
get them aU in one night and they soon

do lots of damage to carnation and chrys-
anthemum buds. S. F. P.

The only effective way of disposing of
cut worms of which we know is hand
picking. It has always been effective in
our experience, although, like every other
detail of successful cut flower growing,
it takes time, which some growers would
rather give to billiards. B. B.

CHRYSANTHEMUM STUDIES.

Tasteful Effect With Ordinary Material.

To use oroinary, every-day material
with the aid of a good setting is the
thought of to-day's study. No attempt
is made here to exhibit fine, large flow-
ers, but we have tried to show how
commonplace material may be care-
fully and effectively put together. This
is -even more important than if the flow-
ers were magnificent from the stand-
point of quality and quantity — and, by
the way, the smsJIer arrangements are
much more easily adapted to some defi-
nite form than is a great bunch or
vase of American Beauties or huge

chrysanthemums. To be able to dis-
play extra fine stock when occasion re-
quires is one and the same thing as to
be able to arrange a handful of flow-
ers attractively in a tiny vase.

The feature, then, of these arrange-
ments is the employment of native flow-
ers and foliage with the chrysanthe-
mums. It is nonsense that it injures
the sale of greenhouse stock to advocate
the use of outdoor summer stock or
autumn foliage. Of course, any one
who cannot look six months ahead is
apt to settle on this conclusion. But
when one stops to think that the use
of such material creates a need that
must be supplied later on from green-
house stock, when the time comes that

the woods and fields cannot furnish the
flowers, it is a long-sighted policy to
advise the use of such material and
spend some time in planning and dec-
orating with it. Besides, it fills a want
that cannot be supplied, either in va-
riety or quantity, from a greenhouse.

A common fault with florists, espe-
cially those who are also growers, is to
exhibit fine stock indifferently as to ar-
rangement, thereby doing no credit to
it as such. The only way to have the
knack of arrangement at your fingers'
ends, when auspicious occasions demand
it, is to cultivate the habit of consider-
ing the best setting and arrangement
for every half-dozen flowers that are
ever put together. In short, think.

One of the greatest differences be-
tween these two vases is in the color-
ing, which of course is not apparent in
the illustrations. The brown stone jar
is the receptacle used in both. In the
first illnstration yellow and white chry-
santhemums, the white being much in
excess, are used. A spray of bitter-
sweet, three or four stalks of milkweed
pods, with their shell-like hulls of gray
and yellowish cream bursting into silk-
en clouds of brown and white para-
chutes, against a spray of yellowed
chestnut leaves, complete the study.

The next is a picture in white and
gray and crimson. The same creamy
white chrysanthemums, without the yel-
low, are used, with spikes of wild sage,
a few bunches of a berry resembling
blackhaw, with crimson oak leaves. The
last element of coloring is what saves
this color scheme from a cold effect,
the gray and white with the black not

having rich enough warm effect for au-
tumn. The first study is more suitable
for a table centerpiece than the sec-
ond. The latter however could be used
if shortened. It might be well to add a
setting of oak leaves under the dish in
accord with the coloring of the second
vase. Care is used in these studies to
keep the proportion of colors quite un-
equal, the white predominating in both,
and the other colors being introduced in
various small unequal quantities.

WORLiyS FAIR FLOWER SHOW.

Every indication points to the great-
est flower show ever held in this" coun-
try at the St. Louis World's Fair next
week. The executive committee is
more than pleased with the interest
manifested on all sides and at the
whole-hearted way in which the trade
at large is responding to the invitation
to participate in this great exhibition.
The St. Louis contingent is doing its
full share and all arrangements are
complete for staging the exhibition and
caring for everybody who may have
any interests there. Arrangements
have been perfected for the transpor-
tation of exhibits arriving at St. Louis
so that there shall be no delay and all
details of advertising and handling the
admissions have been perfected.

The requests for special tags and la-
bels of the Department of Horticulture
have come from all sections of the
country and assure a wealth of exhib-
its which will tax the ingenuity of the
manager in their proper arrangement.
It looks as though the' show will be
considerably larger than any ever held
in point of extent of exhibits.

At a meeting of the executive com-
mittee of the World's Fair Flower
Show Association last week the mat-

florists, seedsmen and nurserymen at-
tending the show and desiring to meet
others whom they know to be present
can very conveniently arrange appoint-
ments at these hours and no one need be
lost on the grounds for any length of
time.

There was another meeting of the
executive conmiittee at Chicago Mon-
day afternoon, at which action was
taken on all final details save those
which must be reserved for action at a
meeting to be held in St. Louis next
Saturday.

It was voted to amend the premium
list so that seedlings might be admitted
to compete in the classes for 100 cut
chrysanthemum blooms, white, yellow
and pink, the premiums for each color
being $75, $50 and $25. These are
classes 23, 24 and 25 in the list.

A class was added for floral arrange-
ments, fifty blooms chrysanthemums, one
vase, not less than ten varieties, $40,
$25 and $15.

An additional class has been provid-
ed in the premium list for 100 Mme.
Chatenav roses, $40, $30 and $20.

At the last Chicago meeting of the
executive committee Chief Taylor tel-
ephoned from St. Louis advising that one
of the regular World's Fair bands of
music would be available for the show,
that President Francis would open the
exhibition at 2:30 p. m., Monday, No-
vember 7, the show to continue open day
and evening as arranged; that the ex-
pediting of express and freight matter
inside the grounds had been arranged by
the teams belonging to the Horticultural
Department. The publicity department
has posted liberal signs on various build-
ings of the Fair and the coming show is
much talked about. Mr. Taylor stated
he was extending a general invitation
to florists, nurserymen and all horticul-

Ivory Chrysanthemums Grown by Livinj^ston Seed G>.« Gjlumfous, Ohio.

ter of caring for trade visitors at the
show was very fully discussed. It was
decided that a section of the conserva-
tory near lue office be set apart for
desks and a register. It was requested
that the trade papers invite all trade vis-
itors at the Fair to arrange their sight-
seeing so as to be present at the of-
fice in the conservatory each forenoon
and afternoon to meet each other. The
meeting hour for the morning was set
at 10 o'clock and for the afternoon
4:30. It is believed that by giving
these arrangements wide publicity all

turists at the Fair and those visiting
the show to be present at the horticul-
tural meeting to be held in the Hall of
Agriculture, Agricultural Building,
World's Fair, Thursday afternoon at
3:00 o'clock of the week of the show.
Prof. William Trelease will likely preside.

Souvenir postal cards have been or-
dered for immediate sale, open to order
from the trade and for sale during the
show with the posters.

Manager Hauswirth has gone to St.
Louis to make his office in the Horticul-
ture building until after the show.

The program of the show is to be
printed with advertising in two colors,
the first edition 20,000 copies, the cover
a reproduction of the poster.

Special Notice.

All trade visitors are requested to
identify themselves and register for the
courtesies of the association.

Exhibitors and guarantors will fimf
their passes at Koom'E, of Chief Tay-
lor's office, in the south end of the Ag-
ricultural building.

MADISON, N. J.

The ninth annual show of the Morris
County Horticultural Society was held
on October 27 and 28, and was, as
usual, distinguished by the high average
quality of the exhibits staged, the old
champions, Messrs. Duckham and Her-
rington, being this year re-enforced by
some new blood, notably Messrs. Era-
ser, Herremans and Thomas.

The chief attractions were the chry-
santhemums and there was hardly a poor
flower in the entire exhibition. In the
premier prize for thirty-six flowers in
six varieties, long stem, the old rivals,
Messrs. Duckham and Herrington,
fought it out as usual, with the award
in favor of Mr. Duckham, who set up
Maynell, Nellie Pockett, F. S. Vallis,
Ben Wells, Donald McLeod and W. H.
Etherington. Mr. Herrington 's flowers,
which were also of superb quality, were
Cheltoni, Ben Wells, W. Duckham, F. S.
Vallis, H, J. Jones and Jennie Falconer.

In the class for eighteen flowers in
three varieties Mr. Herrington was first.
His vases were Appleton, W. Duckham
and Ch,eltoni. For twelve flowers in
four varieties Peter Duff was first, E.
Vince second. For ten white, A. Her-
rington was first, with Mrs. Neville, also
for ten yellow, with Cheltoni.

For twelve flowers in twelve varie-
ties, 12-inch stems, set up in small vases,
James Eraser was first. He also won the
special prize for ten pink, with ten
magnificent flowers of Wm. Duckham.
For six flowers in six varieties, first was
won by Peter Duff, with James Eraser
second. F. S. Vallis, Mrs, E. Thirkell,
Merza and Nellie Pockett showed up
very finely in this class.

For six flowers, any variety, first was
won by R. Vince, with a splendid vase
of Lady Hopetoun, James Fraser being
second.

For ten flowers in five varieties, first
was won by W. H. Thomas, with Mr.
Fraser second. On six pink conditions
were reversed, with Mr. Fraser first, with
splendid W. Duckham, Mr. Thomas being
second.

For six white, Mr. Herremans was first,
with Weeks as finely finished as we ever
saw this variety, 0. H. Kock being sec-
ond. In six yellow, Mr. Herremans was.
again first, with Mrs. Thirkell, James
Eraser second. The latter gentleman
was easily first for six any color, with
very fine E. A. Cobbold.

For six flowers, 1903 introductions, Mr.
Herrington was first, also for six flow-
ers of current year's introduction; his
varieties being Maynell, W. Duckham,
Ben Wells, E. A. Cobbold, Harrison
Dick and Mary Inglis. In the class for
1903 introductions, Mr. Thomas showed
the largest flower in the show, F. S.
Vallis, a monster, indeed.

In the pompon classes John N. May
was first and Geo. Bird second, and for
the vase of flowers arranged for effect
Mr. Eraser scored an easy first.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

The rose classes were not so well filled
as usual, most of the growers claiming
that it was too early in the season for
them. Though the quality of those ex-
hibited was very fine, the number of
exhibitors in these classes was a dis-
grace when one considers the number of
rose growers in this section. L. A. Noe
was the principal winner, taking first for
eighteen Beauties and twelve Beauties,
Mr. Hentz being second in the latter
class. He also won for twenty-five
Brides and twenty-five Ma^ds, L. B.
Coddington coming second in each class.
F. L. Moore won for twelve Maids, with
L. A. Noe second. L. M. Noe was first
for twelve Bride, with L. A. Noe sec-
ond.

In carnations the special prize of R.
and J. Farquhar for twenty-five flowers
was won by W. Ducfcham, with Pros-
perity, R. Vince second, with Enchant-
ress. In three varieties, twelve flowers
of each, Mr. Herremans was first, with
James Fraser second. Several fine vases
of carnations were awarded certificates,
C. W. "Ward's varieties being Robt.
Craig, Ethel Ward and Lieutenant
Peary. John K Haines exhibited his
new red, named after himself, and John
N. May set up Phyllis.

In the violet classes Mr. Fraser scored
first for 100 doubles, Mr. Herremans
second. For 100 singles Peter Duff was
first, "W. H. Thomas second.

In the group classes Mr. Herremans
was first, W. H. Thomas second, both
having fine exhibits. For twelve single-
atemmed plants in 6-inch pots, Peter
Duff won, with a very handsome, uni-
form lot.

The vegetable classes were not so well
filled as usual, but the quality was fine,
Mr. Herremans securing the Peter Hen-
derson prize and J. Downing the Thor-
bum prize. Best collection of apples
went to Mr. Fraser and the celery prize
to W. Duckhani.

In the miscellaneous exhibits Mr. Her-
remans was awarded a certificate for a
fine exhibit of grapes, hot house grown,
and Lager & Hurrell and "W. H. Thomas
for two beautiful tables of orchids.
Certificates were also awarded to the
new Pierson fern, Rose Mme. Levavas-
seur and to B. Vincent, Jr., & Son for
an extensive exhibit of pompons.

The hall was handsomely decorated
with magnificent specimens of palms and
foliage plants from the greenhouses of
H. McK. Twombly, A. Herrington,
gardener, and D. Willis James, W. Duck-
ham, gardener, and the show as a whole
was a very decided success, artistically,
financially and otherwise. The weather
was fine and the attendance broke all
previous records. Out-of-town visitors
were numerous, many of the shining
lights of the horticultural world making
a flying visit to see and be seen, and
the management has every reason to
be satisfied with its labors. The judges
were Wm. Scott, Tarrytown, N. Y. ; Wm.
Turner, Oceanic, N. J., and James Blair,.
Staatsburg, N Y., and their work was
accurate and painstaking. B. B.

TWO NEW ENGLAND ESTATES.

On October 31 the garden commit-
mittee of the Massachusetts Horticul-
tural Society inspected the rose, carna-
tion and chrysanthemum houses of E. A.
Clarke, Jamaica Plain, Mass., where W.
A. Riggs presides. The place was in
apple-pie order. In chrysanthemums
Mr. Riggs has a fine selection of the
newer sorts and they are well grown.

A Battles Touch.

(A. pleasing effect with ready material )

In pinks W. A. Etherington had the
largest flowers, but Wm. Duckham had
a better color and would appear to be
a better all-around variety. Mrs. Geo.
Mileham had a perfectly finished flow-
er. In yellow, F. S. Vallis headed the
list, of the same shade of color as Mrs.
T. W. Pockett, but with larger flowers,
petals longer and more graceful. Gen-
eral Hutton had fine flowers, but a rath-
er long neck. Mary Inglis, a yellow buff,
proved rather disappointing. Mrs. E.
Thirkell had fine flowers, but rather
poor foliage. C. J. Salter, of Bonnaffon
shade, was good, a little too early for
the exhibitions. In reds, Maynell was
fine, ahead of S. T. Wright. Lady Rob-
erts was not in the same class. Mrs.
F. W. Vallis was not up to expectations,
but will be tried again. W. B. Church
promised some grand flowers. In whites
Mr. Riggs has found nothing yet to
beat Merza. Ben Wells lacked sub-
stance to make it an ideal flower. J,
H. Doyle an^ Mrs. A. Miller were good
terra cotta varieties. They made fine
single-stem pot plants. Of the older
sorts we noted fine blooms of Apple-
ton, Eaton, Viviand-Morel, Lady Han-
ham, Mutual Friend, Nellie Pockett,
Ethel Fitzroy, T. W. Pockett, H. J.
Jones, Mrs. Jerome Jones and others.
A grand lot of plants in pots was also
seen.

In roses the varieties grown are Beau-
ty, Bride, Bridesmaid, Mrs. J. P. Mor-
gan, Wootton and La Detroit. Next
year the new Wellesley will be grown
as Mr, Riggs considers it ideal in color,
fragrance, stem and size of flower. En-

chantress was easily the finest carna-
tion. Other sorts doing well were Har-
lowarden. Flamingo, The Queen, Mrs.
Patten and Lawson. Fine batches of
cyclamens, calceolarias and other plants
were coming along. The committee
was well entertained by Mr. Riggs.

On November 1 the E. S. Converse es-
tate in Maiden was the rallying ground
for the committee. After lunch with
Mr. Roy the superintendent, the green-
bouses were inspected, main interest be-
ing taken in the largest house of chry-
santhemum plants in pots arranged for
effect. The specimen plants were nu-
merous and remarkably fine. A. J. Bal-
four was superb, as were W. H. Pierson,
Black Hawk, Mrs. Freeman, Ivory, Mrs.
J. R. Tranter and others. In the anem-
one-flowered class Garza and Red Robin
were the best, Savannah leading in
pompons. The single varieties of the
Mizpah type are grown in quantity and
are ideal decorative plants.

A house of single stems contained a
beautiful lot of blooms. Particularly
good were Wm. Duckham, F. S. Valli^
Mrs. J. C. Neville, Merza, Yellow Eaton.
W. R. Church, Donald McLeod, General
Hutton and A. J. Balfour. In rosea
Bride, Bridesmaid and Golden Gate are
grown, while Enchantlress, Challenger,
Lawson, Fair Maid and Boston Market
were the popular carnations. In the va-
rious houses inspected fine batches of
Lorraine begonias, primulas, cyclamens,
poinsettias, cinerarias and other plants
were coming along, all reflecting great
credit to Mr. Roy. W. N. Craig.

A VISIT AT THORN HEDGE.

The invitation of H. H. Battles, the
widely known Philadelphia retail florist,
to .visit his country place a short time
ago, was accepted by Samuel S. Pen-
nock, the wholesale florist of that city;
John Mclntyre, the buyer of that city,
and Phil, representing the florists'
paper of that city and the country.
The trio went out by way of Market
street, past Jacob Becker's new show
house at Fifty-second street and Wm.
C. Smith's latest improvement at Six-
tieth, to Sixty-third street, where they
changed to the West Chester trolleys.
The ride from this point lay through
a beautiful country, full of early asso-
ciations to Mr. Pennock, who pointed
out many spots of special interest.

Mr. Battles' carriage met the party
and took them first to the farm, where
some fine country, some pink and brown
grunters and a flock of Bhode Island
reds, somewhat resembling brown leg-
horns but with brighter hackles and sad-
dle feathers, oddly enough unknown to
the gentleman from Westerly. The
only other incident before reaching
T^hom Hedge was due to a quiet-looking
grey horse that was working in a field
near the road. This animal had taken
a most unexpected night trip to New
Jersey just before Phil's last visit.
He had been with difficulty located and
induced to return. A very interesting
collection of minerals, neatly arranged
in a cabinet, and another of moths and
butterflies, were examined with inter-
est, Mr. Pennock giving some inter-
esting accounts of the latter.

A walk about the grounds followed.
A handsome bed of Colorado blue
spruce was much admired. There are

quite a lot of Eex begonias in variety
and a great number of small ferns in
2-inch pots, chiefly pteris, for use in
fern dishes. During the winter in this
house the valley is forced. About 100,-
000 will be flowered this year.

The next house was planted with As-
paragus Sprengeri in the center bench,
Cibotium Schiedei being grown on ped-
estals over the asparagus. The side
benches were planted with Asparagus
plumosus. The next two houses are
devoted to Adiantum Farleyense. It
would be hard to find a finer lot of
plants. They present a beautiful sight,
the large specimens being perfect in
form and foliage. Some are planted
out in the bench for cut sprays. These
are full of vigor. Another house is en-
tirely filled with Carnation Mrs. Law-
son, the plants being benched from
3-inch pots early in the summer. They
have grown luxuriantly, showing that
broad, bluish foliage that denotes vigor.
Sweet alyssum growing in the edge of
the carnation benches adds to the rev-
enue of the house.

The last house was entirely filled with
Euphrobia Poinsettiana grown on
benches for cutting, the center bench
nearly filled with hard-wood plants now
over three feet high, the side benches
with plants from soft-wood cuttings^,
very dwarf, all with luxuriant foliage.
Both the carnation and poinsettia
houses have ventilators on both sides as
well as two sets at the ridge. Great
quantities of cosmos were being packed
for shipping in to "One hundred and
eight."

A large block of California privet
from two to five feet high shows the
confidence felt in the future of this
effective hedge plant.

OBITUARY.

Elisha Nye Peirce.

In the passing away of ETUsha Nye
Peirce on October 30, after a long and
painful illness, borne with extreme for-
titude. New England loses one of her
leading florists and Massachusetts a
man who was respected by all who knew
him. Mr. Peirce 's death was not un-
expected, as his condition for some
time has been very critical. The disease
from which he died was cancer of the
stomach, from which he has been a pa-
tient martyr for a long time.

Born in West Medford, Mass., on
August 21, 1839, the son of Major
Moses Peirce, he was educated in the
town school and also in A. K. Hatha-
way's classical school in that place. He
enlisted in Company E, Fifth Massa-
chusetts, and was present at the first
battle of Bull Bun. His first enlist-
ment ended, he re-enlisted in Company
E, Thirty-ninth Massachusetts, but was
never mustered into that company, as
he was appointed second lieutenant in
Company E, Fifth regiment. Later he
was transferred to the United States
Signal Corps and served 'under Gten-
erals Hunter and Foster as staff officer.
At the time of his death he held quite
a number of prominent positions in the
G. A. B.

Mr. Peirce 's ancestors first settled in
Watertown, Mass., in 1630, and from
that time to this all have been engaged
in agricultural pursuits, the present
generation being the first to add horticul-
ture to its calling. While the deceased
was a full-fledged military man in
every sense, and loved nothing better
than to relate his civil war experiences,
in which period he was thrice wounded,
he was always called by his neighbors
Farmer Peirce, and loved the title. While
at one time vegetable growing was ex-
tensively followed, of late years a large
area of glass has been built and toma-
toes are now the only vegetable grown.
The staples of the firm have been car-
nations, chrysanthemums. Asparagus
Sprengeri, Easter lilies and spiraea, all
of which are grown in big quantities and
are mostly disposed of at the Park
Street Flower Market, of which the de-
ceased was one of the directors, hav-
ing been unanimously re-elected on Oc-
tober 22 last. Mr. Peirce was also a
member of the Massachusetts Horticul-
tural Society and took an active inter-
est in everything pertaining to the wel-
fare of his native town.

A unique character, as a plain speaker
he was well known in horticultural as
well as in Grand Army circles, and
everything he said proved his solidity
and thoughtfulness. Everything he un-
dertook was done thoroughly and his
death will be deplored for many a long
day by the many who were privileged to
be among his acquaintances.

Mr. Peirce often said he would rather
be called Farmer Peirce than a college
professor. His was a noted figure at
the town meetings years ago, and he was
one of the leaders in all debates. Two
sons were identified with him in the
business and^ one daughter survives him.
Funeral services were held on November
1 at his late home, Waltham, and was
very largely attended, many of his con-
freres at the Park Street Market being
included, and many other members of
the craft. The Grand Army was large-
ly represented also, the funeral being of
a military character. The floral souve-^
nirs were many and beautiful.

DETROIT.

An Atupidoutf Opening.

On last Thursday the opening of the
Michigan Cut Flower Exchange took
place in its new quarters, a trade ex-
hibit being a feature. The show of
chrysanthemums, roses, carnations and
plants was a most excellent one, there
being exhibits of many new carnations
and roses from out-of-town growers.
The Thompson Carnation Co. sent Car-
nation Robert Craig. The Chicago Car-
nation Co. sent Fiancee and Cardinal.
Nathan Smith & Son, a new seedling
chrysanthemum, James Hartshorne. El-
mer Smith, Henry Smith, James Harts-
home and Eli Cross were present and
several other out-of-town visitors helped
to make the occasion "a very enjoyable
one. Detroit can now boast of as com-
modious and well-arranged commission
house as there is in the country, and
if trade, in keeping with its facilities,
can be secured it will be a grand suc-
cess. Mr. Dilger, the manager, lives in
the building, so that he can be reached
twenty-four hours of the day by phone,
and he is willing to get out of bed any
hour of the night to take an order.

Trip to Mt Clemens.

On October 28 the florists of Detroit
and vicinity, on invitation of the craft
in Mt. Clemens, visited that city by spe-
cial car. There was sixty-five in the
party. A stop was made at the green-
houses of J. F. Sullivan, where every-
thing looked like new, for the place has
been repainted throughout. The stock
was in fine condition, two houses of Lil-
ium Harrisii looking extra fine and
showing very little disease. Mr. Sullivan
has also painted and redecorated his
store, so has both his places of busi-
ness in fine shape.

At the Breitmeyers' the stop was all
too short to do justice to the excellent
lunch and the fine stock. In roses a
bench of 1,000 Liberty showed to what
perfection this rose can be grown when
properly handled, and right alongside of
it were 3,000 La Detroit, with every
shoot crowned with a bud. A lesson was
learned in the use of a carbon paint
for iron. Here about ten feet of pipe
at the ends of the two houses of La
Detroit were painted, the fumes from
which killed all the new growth in one
night, thus putting back the plants for
two months at least. The carnations were
a revelation, for never since the estab-
lishment of the plant have they been as
fine at this season of the year. The
plants are large and bushy, with stems
and blooms fit for the carnation exhibit
in February. This is from Fred:
"White Lawson and Queen for quantity
and quality. Lady Bountiful is a
close second in white, and the more I
see of Flamingo the better I think of
it. Nelson Fisher is also a winner."
The chrysanthemums are, as usual, very
fine, but most noticeable were the two
new ones, which the firm bought last
year from the originator, H. W. Rie-
man, viz.. Majestic and Adelia, the col-
or being a snow-white from center to
circumference, with stem and foliage all
that could be desired. The varieties
are Japanese incurved and it was the
opinion of all that some extra fine flow-
ers would have to be staged to beat it
out at the shows this fall. Houses of
anemone and pompons and snapdragon
were interesting.

rogated the title and descended from
the throne, for he says "the black-fly is
now trying to finish up what the gall-
fly left of the violet plants." He has
some very promising seedlings in carna-
tions, one being a white, of which he
has 500 plants. Morning Glory is still
grown here and at the place of Ste-
vens Bros., across the way, and are fine
•at both places. Messrs. Stevens also
grow violets and had the beet we had
yet seen. At Jas. Taylor's the truth of
the old adage, "A man cannot serve
two masters," was verified, for while
the new dwelling being erected was per-
fection, the greenhouses were not quite
up to their usual high standard of ex-
cellence, but Jim will get there yet,
for he is a worker and will clean up
before snow flies.

At J. E. Carey's were found the best
violets in town, clean and healthy, the
record showing a good cut to the pres-
ent time. A short stop was made at
Von Boeselager's new place and an in-
troduction to the new wife and a lunch
concluded the day's hard work, but
withal a most enjoyable one, also a prof-
itable one, for such visits awaken the
spirit of emulation. The visits could be
made much more profitable to the visit-
ors if made in smaller numbers, say two
or three, and much more often and also
more profitable to those visited, for I
heard one florist say at Breitmeyers':
"Gee, it must cost something to wet
this crowd. ' ' Rag,

BALTIMORE. MD.

Business continues to improve. This
week has started off quite satisfactorily.
Monday was an exceptionally good day,
it being Halloween doubtless causing
part of the demand. Much stock was
used for All Saints' decorations. Now
that the weather has become suflSciently
cold to finish up about all the outdoor
stock, we may look for general advance-
ment in the trade. All the retailers have
a more cheerful look. Chrysanthemums
are in good supply and of good quality.
Whites are selling best. Last week pink
was very slow to move at any price un-
til Saturday, when they were unloaded
to the market and street merchants at a
somewhat reduced figure. The top price
for the very best is $2.50 per dozen. A

few of the very earliest brought $3. The
average is about $1.50 for good stock.
Roses are going at from $3 to $5 per
hundred. Carnations $1 to $1.50. The
stock is generally good.

W. J. Halliday will soon move to
his new store on Charles street, oppo-
site his old stand, having secured a
handsome store just being completed.

C. E. Smith & Co., 121 North Liberty
street, are improving their store. They
are also adding the property in the rear,
which will be converted into a large con-
servatory connecting with the main
store. A. F.

BOSTON.

The Market.

Conditions have not changed materi-
ally from a week ago, prices remaining
about the same all around and the mar-
ket has continued to clean out satisfac-
torily. The output of chrysanthemums
haa now reached its flood-tide. In whites
there has been quite a scarcity, very
little but ivory being procurable. Such
varieties as Appleton, Mutual Friend,
Bonnaffon and Merza are now coming
in. The high-class stores display a num-
ber of fancy blooms, those from Waban
Conservatories being superb. In pinks
some nice lots of Duckham and A. J.
Balfour are noticeable, also a few of
Dr. Enguehard, which latter seems like-
ly to be a fine commercial sort.

Roses are abundant and of improving
quality. Carnations still bring $3 per
hundred, for fancies, ordinary grades
running as low as $1. Violets are now
of fine size and color. Princess of Wales
is the leader, as is Enchantress among
carnations. Prices average about 50
cents per hundred on violets. A slightly
hardening tendency is noticed in green
stock, a heavier call being noted.

Plans for the Show.

The numerous entries received assure
us the finest chrysanthemum show ever
held in Boston. The committee of ar-
rangements has decorated the large hall
very tastefully and Messrs. Farquhar,
Cameron and Wheeler have put a lot
of valuable time on this part of their
work. It is evident that all available

space will be needed to accommodate
the various exhibits.

Some of the leading exhibitors are:
"Waban Conservatories, J. Breitmeyer's
Sons, Chicago Carnation Co., J. D.
Thompson Carnation Co., A. Herrington,
Miss «. J. Clark, E S, Converse, E. W.

than Smith & Son and E. G. Hill Co.

The banquet to be tendered the visit-
ing members of the C. S. A. will be
held at the Hotel Thorndike on Novem-
ber 4, after the business session at Hor-
ticultural Hall. Invitations have been
extended to Governor Bates, Mayor P.
A. Collins and other notables.

G)innuttee Goes Vmting,

The garden committee of the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society has been
kept very busy of late, visiting various
estates where greenhouses had been en-
tered for competition. On October 28
they left Boston in the 9 a. m. express
for New London, Conn. They were met
upon arrival by Thomas W. Head, su-
perintendent of the M. F. Plant estate.
A pleasant ride of a few miles down
the Thames River was much enjoyed,
the big freighter Dakota, the largest
freight steamer in the world, being
passed en route to the private pier on
the Plant estate. After lunch with Mr.
Head, the committee made a tour of
the extensive greenhouses and estate.

On October 31 the rose, carnation and
chrysanthemum houses of E. A, Clarke,
Jamaica Plain, where Wm. A. Biggs
presides, were inspected. The commit-
tee found the houses in apple-pie or-
der. On November 1 the E. S. Converse
estate at Maiden was visited. Mr. Roy,
the superintendent, received the commit-
tee very hospitably. Chrysanthemum
plants in pots are very fine here.

Field Day at Waban.

On October 29 members of the Boston
Gardeners' and Florists' Club had a
field day at the Waban Conservatories
on invitation of Alexander Montgomery.
Some of the party went in automobiles,
the remainder by steam and electric cars.
On arrival a complete tour of the ex-
tensive greenhouses was made under the
guidance of the two Alexander Mont-
gomerys, senior and junior. The nu-
merous rose houses were all in splendid
condition, the Beauties, Brides, Brides-
maids, Morgans, Liberties and other
sorts grown by the thousands being as
near perfection as it is possible for them
to be.

Very great interest was shown in the
large house of Wellesley, Mr. Montgom-
ery's new seedling. This was a wonder-
ful sight, thousands of blooms being
in view. Part of the house is planted
with grafted stock, the balance with
own-root plants, the former showing a
slight advantage so far. Stems four to
five feet long can be cut at this date,
and there is a big call for the flowers
at the high-class stores. Mr. Montgom-
ery has not yet disclosed the parentage,
but that he has a sterling novelty all
who see it must concede.

The houses of single-stemmed chrysan-
themums were of great interest to the
visitors. They contain the cream of the
new and older sorts and command the
best prices at the Boston stores. Last

season Mr. Montgomery got $8 per dozen
for that grand late variety, Mrs. Jerome
Jones. A variety which appealed very
strongly to all present was Mile. Marie
Liger. Other varieties which Mr. Mont-
gomery thinks well of are: William
Duckham, Dr. Enguehard, General Hut-
ton, Charles Langley, Ben Wells, Miss
J. Barwood, C. J. Salter and Mrs. J. C.
Neville. Of the older sorts Mrs. J. Jones,
Mrs. T. L. Park, Eaton, Appleton, Maud
Dean, Merza and Kate Broomhead are
favorites.

After a complete inspection of the
whole plant, boiler room included, an
adjournment was made to the roomy
potting shed, where sandwiches, coffee,
ice-cream and other refreshments were
served. Before the party left, J. A.
Pettigrew, in the name of the club, ten-
dered the thanks of the members to Mr.
Montgomery for their kind entertain-
ment. The members gave three cheers
and a tiger for their generous host and
closed with singing * * He 's a Jolly Good
Fellow."

Various Notes.

After leaving Waban Conservatories
a portion of the party journeyed to the
new establishment of John Barr, at
South Natick. All his carnation houses
looked first class, being a mass of
bloom. The Queen, one of Mr. Barr's
introductions, was splendid. Other
kinds well grown were Enchantress, Fair
Maid, Lawson, Harry Fenn and Mrs. M.
A. Patten. Some very promising seed-
lings are also under trial. Everything
on the place was in the pink of condi-
tion.

F. W. Fletcher of Auburndale has a
fine yellow chrysanthemum, a seedling
from J. E. Lager, which he has named
Easigold, in season from October 8 to
12, which has sold finely. It is a splen-
did commercial variety and likely to be-
come very popular. W. N. Craio.

NEW YORK;

The Market.

The market, which looked very prom-
ising on Saturday, experienced the regu-
lar Monday setback, which of late has
become chronic and prices settled down
to the low figures of last week. In fact,
the dealers have become reconciled to
the belief that improvement need not
be looked for as permanent until after
election.

There are some magnificent chrysanthe-
mums in the market, none finer even at
the exhibitions, where only the best are
considered. Ivory never was so fine as
this year. Appleton has arrived in grand
and perfect form. Duckham is king of
them all in size. Little wonder carna-
tions have retired for a time and have
to be satisfied with serious declines in
value, and the quality, too, is superb.

Beauties do not advance except in qual-
ity and orchids remain below standard
prices. Violets found a ready sale on
Saturday, when Yale sent its football
contingent to do battle, but this week
sees prices down again, top prices reach-
ing 50 cents with difficulty.

Various Notes.

A. H. Langjahr is handling some es-
pecially fine Ivory. This is his thirteenth
year in the wholesale business and not
being superstitious he expects it to be
his best. He is reaching out for ship-
ping trade successfully. Arthur Hunt, his
foreman, had a severe tussle with a hieh-
waym.in on Sunday evening in Astoria.

He saved his watch and money but was
severely marked by the scoundrel before
his rescue.

George Clarke, of Portland, one of the
Clarke Bros^ is visiting New York. E.
Bernard, of San Diego, Cal., another trav-
eler from the woolly west, is here, his
specialties being roses, olives and orna-
mentals.

Dreyer & Keller, joint owners of the
new white carnation, Bertha Rath, are
sending fine stock of it to the Cut Flower
Exchange, which is exclusively handled
by Frank Millang.

Guttman & Weber's new red carnation
has been christened Victory. Mr. Gutt-
man will exhibit it this week at the Bos-
ton show.

Kreshover has moved his branch in the
Coogan building to the former office of
the Cut Flower Exchange, where Ught
and facilities are much improved. The
new ice box of the Exchange will be
erected in his former quarters. All of
the prominent growers of the company-
have signed a petition to the L. I. R. R.
for the restoration of the early train
from Port Washington via Bayside and
Great Neck, with almost certaii* pros-
pects of a favorable decision.

The gold medal of the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition has been awarded to
John Scott, of Brooklyn, for his exhibit
of Scottii. Beaulieu, of Woodhaven, the
pansy man, has been awarded a silver
medal for his patent hose supporter.

C. W. Ward returned on Friday from
Europe, after a pleasant journey, hav-
ing spent September and October on the
continent.

Charles Koch, of Flatbush, escaped a
watery grave about fifty feet above
ground when he fell into his water tank.
Fortunately a ladder made rescue possi-
ble.

In the Herald on Sunday appeared a
long interview with the manager of the
Waldorf-Astoria, in which among other
"facts" appeared the statement that
"our florist's bill is $50,000 a year."
J. H. Small & Sons have a handsome
branch store and do the entire decorating
for the hotel. While the figures will per-
haps come in the line of * * news ' * to many
of the trade, even in this city of magni-
ficent prodigality, the statement of * ' mine
host" does not seem at all improbable.

Lion & Wertheimer have a novelty in
the shape of a flower and foliage com-
bination, which they call the "messaline
glace chagneaut" ribbon, for which they
report an unprecedented demand.

At the funeral of the Rev. Dr. Lorimcr
last week, some very handsome designs
were sent from Twenty-eighth street. One
especially, a wreath of laurel and pink
heather, from one of the wholesalers, a
member of his congregation, being uniqre
and appropriate.

Rtiimpn & Walter. H. IT. Berger & Co.,
Suzuki & lida, Elliott, Thorburn. Joos-
ten, Henderson. R. M. Ward & Co., the
riueas & Boddington Co., and Arthur
Boddington all have the same story to
trll. They say it has been an exception-
allv good season.

Thorley's latest accompaniment to the
chrysanthemum display in his stores is a
profusion of wicker Irtskets, sugorestive of
accommodation for the largest blooms,
though otherwise unattractive.

McConnell had a charming window of
vellow chrvsanthemums and orchids on
Saturday that the Fifth avenue nedestri-
ars found it worth while to pause and
admire.

business has been very satisfactory to the
proprietor.

David Clarke 's Sons are rejoicing in
opening of the subway and are celebrat-

iheir enormous store, a station at their
very doors making special conveniences
for their numerous patrons.

November 15 will see the season's final
exhibit of chrysanthemums in New York,
at the rooms of the New York Florists'
€lub in the Grand Opera House building.
There should be no delay in notifying
President Traendly or Secretary Young
by exhibitors. It is planned to make this
a gala night. Many florists from other
cities will be here on account of the big
flower show of the American Institute,
which will be the longest if not the best
on record, extending from November 10
to 17.

President Traendly, Vice President
Butterfield and Messrs. Sheridan,
O'Mara, Nugent and Shaw, of the New
York Florists' Club, were visitors at
Madison, on the first day of the exhi-
bition last week. Chas. H. Totty, of the
executive committee, was absent owing to
the,death of the father of Mrs. Totty.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

The retail trade is much benefited by
cooler weather. "While trade is better
than last year at this date it is not en-
tirely up to expectations. We had quite
a frost the past week, which killed all
tender outdoor plants. A few of the
up-town florists report a busy week in
all kinds of work and especially funeryl
work. Quite a number of social affairs
are on tap for this week at the World 's
Fair and no doubt a loc of first-class
stock will be used. Tl'3 florists in the
west end who have fine show houses are
stocked up with fine blooming plants
of all kinds and especially clirysantha-
mums, which gives them very attractive
showings.

The quality of the st ick at the three
wholesale houses is good, but select
grades are limited in quantity. Kxtra
select Carnot, Liberty and Kaiserin bring
$8 per hundred. On Bri<lc. Maid,
Meteor and Perle the pricaa are from $5
to $6. Seconds and thirds in these run
from $1 to $3. American Beauties of
the extra quality are still snarce for the
demand, at $4 and $5 per dozen. Good
Beauties can be bought for $2 and $3.
Others run from 5 to 10 cents each.

The demand for carnations is big.
Everybody wants select stock, while
common stock is generally left over. The
stock in Lawson, Enchantress, White
Cloud, Estelle, Wolcott and Joost is com-
ing in fine and when extra choice sells
at sight for $2 and $3 per hundred.
Lawson is coming with longer stems,
which helps to sell it.

It strikes us that the demand for
chrysanthemums is \eTy good and es-
pecially for medium sized blooms. Fancy
stock is slow in coming to this market.
Good white has the call at $3 per dozen.
Those left are generally yellow or pink.
We are promised some extra fine speci-
men blooms this week, which will be
welcomed by those who keep first-class
stock. Violets are selling well and are
much better. Some extra fine doubles
were seen at Kuehn 's last week at $1 per
hundred. Californias are 50 cents.
Choice stock is limited at present to
standing orders, which are quite heavy.

Cosmos and tuberoses are still coming
in limited quantity. All other outdoor
stock was killed by the heavy frost of
the past week. Good smilax is coming
in freely and sells well at 15 cents per
string. Extra fine adiantum is to be had
at $1.25 per hundred.

VarioiM Notes.

Ed Kalisch, of the firm of Kalisch &
Sons, was married the past week. Con-
gratulations are now in order.

A. Berdan, of Kirkwood, is sending F.
M. Ellis Paper Whites which are really
fancy for this time of the year.

James W. Dunf ord is sending in a fine
cut of roses from his place at Clayton.

The Schuerman Floral Co. will again
decorate the Coliseum for the horse
show the latter part of this month.

Fred Ammann, of Edwardsville, is
sending in an extra fine lot of Chatenay
roses to Kuehn 's. His Beauties and
other roses are up to their usual stand-
ard. Fred expects to be in it at the big
show next week.

G. Kruse, in South St. Louis, reports
business good. He has a fim l»t of
Boston ferns which he is selling to the
wost end florisls.

The floral clock at the World's Fair
looks dilapidated since the frost killed all
the coleus which were used for the fig-
ures.

Fred Weber and James Arata had to
do jury duty the past week, which was
not much to their liking.

The local craft is much pleased to
learn through the Review that Messrs.
Herrington, Duckham and Budd are to
be the judges at the World's Fair flow-
er show. All three have many personal
friends among the craft here. The local
florists, are all taking a great interest in
the big show and it will be no fault of
ours if the show shauld not be a success.
Phil Hauswirth is expected this week to
take up his headquarters in the Horti-
culture building and hold meetings with
the local committee. Your scribe paid
a visit to the grounds on Friday and
found all hands busy in the conservatory,
making preparations for housing the big
show. J. H. Hadkinson, the superintend-
ent, says everything will be made com-
fort'ible for all the visiting florists and
that he will render all assistance xo
make all feel like home.

Dan Newsham is busy packing up his
palms at the World's Fair ready fo»
shipment to New Orleans this week. I>aD
says he will return for the big show.

President Juengel says that the club
meeting next Thuradav afternoon, No-
vember 10, at 2 o'clock, will be open to
all visiting florists. They are especially
invited to take part in our proceedings.
The members should come out in full
force. There will be cigars to burn, if
that will help any.

Fred Foster and Alex. Siegel had a
great time of it on Sunday, having the
street fakirs arrested, as an order has

been issued by the city officials that
street fakirs must vacate. Fred took sev-
eral rides personally in the patrol wagon
with his victims to see that they were
safely locked up in the hold over.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market

Fred Ehret sized up the market con-
ditions exactly this week when he said:
"I can't sell enough flowers." There
is plenty of business on most days but
a tremendous supply of stock that will
accumulate at times, in spite of the most
heroic efforts. Among the best chry-
santhemums this week are Appleton, Bal-
four, Bonnaffon, Byron, Coombes, Eaton,
Halliday, Ivory, Shaw and others. Vio-
lets are scarcer and are in demand. Boses
sell rather slowly. Carnations go a little
better. The Cut Flower Co. had some
nice shipping orders for Enchantress and
Prosperity. The additions to the list
are Paper White narcissi at Niessen's
and at Beid's and Easter lilies grown
by Julius Koehler & Son, of Frankford.
As seen at Joseph Kift & Son's hand-
some store, they were very fine. The sub-
traction from the list is cosmos. The
last of the outdoor stock succumbed to
Jack Frost.

The Largest Decoration.

The event of the week is unquestiona-
bly an elaborate store decoration ar-
ranged by Hugh Graham for Gimbel
Brothers. It covers the main aisle on
the second floor, which runs from Eighth
street to Ninth street and is about thirty-
five feet wide. Last year this decoration
was the finest thing of its kind ever seen
in this city. This year practically the
same ground is covered. The changes are,
however, very marked. The effect is
much more artistic. Presumably Mr,
Graham has been allowed to use his taste,
with the result that the incongruous fea-
tures supposedly popular are removed.
The idea is a California garden. Cut
chrysanthemums, cut roses, growing or-
chids and foliage plants predominate.
There are four or five water effects and
a tall rockery. The chrysanthemums are
a show in themselves. The orchids, all
from Logan, are a most creditable com-
mercial collection. All the growing and
much of the cut stock came from Mr.
Graham's place at Logan, but some idea
of the vast quantity used may be gath-
ered when it is noted that the Leo Nies-
sen Co. furnished 1,000 fine crysanthe-
mums, E. Bemheimer 1,200 roses and
so on. *

A Visit to Riverton.

The chief was at home this time, fresh
from a few weeks' trip across the ocean,
taken on the slowest steamer, giving but
little time on the other side. The effect
was excellent. All signs of the strain of
managing a big place had disappeared
and there was abundant evidence of
latent energy sufficient to meet eYerj
business problem that may arise.

It is rather a difficult matter to give
an adequate idea of a large plant like
that of the Henry A. Dreer Co., but when
there is inspiration from a master in
horticulture, like J. D. Eisele, with a lit-
tle aid now and then from George A.
Strohlein, it would be a mighty poor
scribe who couldn't write something
readable.

Mr. Eisele brought over with him
some plants of an improved Paris daisy

that he believes will be a very useful
thing. It bears seventy-five per cent
double or semi-double flowers of good
size, resembling the anemone-flowered
chrysanthemum Timbale d 'Argent, well
known in the eighties. The name of this
daisy is Chrysanthemum furtescens
Queen Alexandria. It will be sent out
next spring.

Work on the perennials is ijow being
pushed with vigor. Careful comparison
has demonstrated the fact that pot
plants of nearly all the perennials do
better after being sent away than the
larger, field-grown clumps. This is not
generally believed yet, but it is true, the
uninjured roots of the pot-grown stuff
enabling them to push right ahead, while
the clumps from the ground often have
to be shipped just when their season of
growth, or even of flower, is on and get
a serious check. A larger force of men
than ever before at this work is indus-
triously potting these perennials. Long
frames are full of thrifty looking stock
now in 3-inch pots. They will be kept
at it as long as the weather remains open,
or until the job is finished.

Viola cucullata, the so-called crested
pansy, is being more extensively grown.
It is a feature of outdoor planting
abroad, where it is massed in solid colors,
blue, yellow and white, with perhaps a
fine tuberous begonia to punctuate the
beds which form a brilliant patch of
bloom throughout the season.

Inside the houses Begonia Gloire de
Lorraine in sixes, set on board strips
over a lily tank, were very thrifty in
appearance and full of buds. A corner
of one house was devoted to nepenthes,
pitcher plants, not often seen in com-
mercial places. Mr. Eisele has brought
over Croton Turnfordiense, considered
the finest yellow-leaved variety with
green edge. Cocos Weddeliana has been
in good demand. A large stock is being
marketed.

A very important cultural point at
variance with accepted ideas has been
brought out in Pandanus Sanderi. Mr.
Eisele believes that with care this variety
will be grown with the rich, vivid color-
ing throughout that makes it so effective.
Nephrolepises are plentiful, nice bushy
plants. For Scottii Mr. Eisele predicts a
great future.

The azalea houses showed the effect of
Mr. Strohlein's strenuous week spent in
distributing them from Canada to the
gulf and presumably from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, though he did not admit
it. There were great gaps in the blocks
of glossy green plants.

The palms were in very fine condition.
The decorative sizes of kentias, specimens
six feet high and over in from 10-inch
pots to 15-inch tubs, were a sight, their
deep green foliage suggesting durability
as well as perfect health. Latania Bor-
bonica in 9-inch pots were nicely done.
There were good looking tables of Areca
lutescens in sixes and a few nice plants
of Kentia Sanderiana. Outside in a slat
house were a pretty lot of araucarias
and in a board house were dwarf and
standard bay trees. Both are somewhat
novel. The dwarf bays are about two
and a half feet high, prettily rounded,
while the standards are trimmed in pyra-
mid form, giving them quite an imperial
air, as the Belgians say.

Train time and farewell to Messrs.
Eisele and Strohlein came all too soon,
but the memory of the pleasant visit
will not soon fade away.

Easter Lilies.

In past seasons many of the Easter
lilies used in this city have come from
outside points, but during the coming
winter Thaddeus N. Yates & Co. expect
to have a steady supply, chiefly for cut
flowers. They have upwards of 18,000
Lilium Harrisii 5x7-inch bulbs. The most
advanced are likely to be in bloom by
Thanksgiving. From that time a stead-
ily increasing supply will be forthcom-
ing until spring. The entire lot are in
good, healthy condition and will aver-
age, Mr. Yates thinks, about three flow-
ers to the stem. The firm is to be con-
gratulated on their enterprise in this di-
rection.

LILIUM CANDIDUM.

The white lily is an old inhabitant of
our gardens, so old in fact that no one
could give a correct date of its introduc-
tion to England. The only thing to fix
its date of introduction is to quote Grer-
ard's Herbal of 1596. It probably first
reached our shores from southern Europe,
where it occurs in a wild state, extending
from the island of Corsica to northern
Persia and the Caucasus. Notwithstand-
ing this bit of ancient history, the fact
remains that modern cultivators have as
much diflSculty in cultivating the white
lily as our ancestors had. Its mode of
growth, and the time it commences to
throw its leaves afresh, point to the fact
that if necessary to transplant it, it
should be done at a much earlier period
than any other lily grown in the open.
Experience would seem to indicate that
it resents being lifted at all, while an-
other diflSculty is brought about by the
advent of a^ fungus during the past few
years. Taking all these things into con-
sideration, we cannot help thinking that
the white lily is happiest in the garden
of the cottager, where the bulbs are sel-
dom interfered with by the cultivator. —

CHICAGO.

The Market

The close of last week saw a stiffer
market than we have had at any time
this season, largely because of the heavy
requirements of the south, principally
New Orleans, for All Saints' day. Of
course the horse show helped to a de-
gree, for social activity was at its height
last week, but the southern shipping
trade was ahead of the best previous rec-
ords, calling for very large quantities of
stock, and was the means of clearing the
market. There are some houses doing
a large shipping trade to other points
which do not cater for New Orleans busi-
ness; these sold out of all good stock to
those who are willing to take the risks
of heavy thousand-mile shipments.

Prices began to stiffen on Friday and
on Saturday roses, and particularly car-
nations, commanded the best figures of
the season, the advance being wholly un-
looked for by the city buyers, who, many
of them refused to buy beyond the neces-
sities of the moment, believing that prices
would be back to normal on Sunday and
Monday. But in a way they were mis-
taken. Monday's receipts were small
and it was Tuesday before the market
was easy again; that day's business was
light and receipts large.

There is no oversupply, yet a good crop
of fine Beauties. Mildew is still in evi-
dence on many tea roses and these are
diflScult to move at any price, even if
crops are on the decrease and good stock
somewhat scarcer than it was. Violets,
especially Hudson river stock and singles,
did well last week but are now in slow de-
mand. There is a good call for valley,
orchids and green goods.

Very fine mums are now offered in
quantity, the season being about at its
height. Eaton, Appleton and such big
sorts are to be had without limit at
comparatively moderate prices. The new
pink, Wm. Duckham, has done well for
everybody and will be largely grown
next year.

There ai>e large cuts of carnations and
quality is in general very good. Quan-
tities of outdoor flowers are still being
offered cheap for funeral work. Paper
"Whites are in and callas are plentiful.

those present being Prof. A. C. Beal, of
the University of Illinois, and Mr. Elli-

won at the S. A. F. convention were on
display. The officers elected were as fol-
lows: President, W. N. Rudd; vice-presi-
dent, J. P. Bisch; recording secretary,
Robert Johnstone; financial secretary,
Geo. Asmus; treasurer, Edgar Sanders;
trustees, F. F. Benthey, W. L, Palinsky,

flower show premium funds, $50 was do-
nated as usual. A certificate of merit
was given a new light pink seedling rose
raised by John Monson, of Minneapolis.
Adjournment was to the Bismarck, where
a Dutch lunch was given in honor of the
bowling team.

Flo'wer Show.

George Asmus was appointed manager
of the flower show, his selection being a
happy thought, for there is no more
capable member of the craft. All ar-
rangements are complete and a large
number of exhibits assured, many re-
sponses having been received by the com-
mittee appointed to see what stock will
be forthcoming. The only department
which does not run smoothly is that of

publicity, the political and war editors
seeming to want to monopolize all the
space in the daily papers.

Various Notes.

Miss Hartshorne, sister of James
Hartshome, is at the Growers' Market,
selling the stock sent in by the Chicago
Carnation Co. They have a bench of
Wm. Duckham chrysanthemums which is
a wonderful sight, and good old Bon-
naffon is never grown better than they
have it. The house of Fiancee is great
and Mr. Hartshorne says they had cut
three flowers to the plant at October
21, with plenty now in sight. Cardinal
is making a fine showing, way ahead of
others of its color. Lady Bountiful
and Moonlight are both very good. Fair
Maid is good but not equal to Enchant-
ress. Two new ones on trial are a red
seedling from W. N. Rudd, with good
size and exceptionally long stems, and a
yellow from A. Herrington which puts
all other yellows among the "also
rans. ' '

Don't sprinkle the chrysanthemums
after they have been packed in the
boxes, and don't use wet paper. Many
consignors do both these things, and it
doesn't make them any money.

Joseph Smely, of Aurora, telephoned
to town Sunday for entry blanks for the
show. He said he wanted to enter the

Every color, size and form was repre-

and throwing some long-stemmed flowers,
which were fine.

WHITE FLY.

In reading the Eeview I see that there
are many florists who are troubled with
a small white fly. I have had the same
trouble. It seems t# thrive best where
there are plenty of salvias, cinerarias
and pelargoniums. I have found a very
simple remedy. Take some fly paper
and lay around the above named plants
and on this place a few dried apples.
They seem to relish these very much.
All readers of the Eeview will do well
to try the above and watch the results.

TORONTO.

The Market

Trade around town during the past
week has been very slow and those who
wished to put the best face possible on
matters had to admit that it was very
erratic. The wholesale men report ship-
ping trade fairly good. Chrysanthe-
mums have been rushed in and every
market gardener who has any green-
houses usually has them filled with early
mums, which come in at about this time
and overstock the market. The best
stock of large varieties has found fairly
ready sale, but such varieties as Ivory,
Pacific, etc., have been wholesaled dur-
ing the week as low as $1 per hundred
for fairly respectable stock. We expect,
though, that next week this stock will be
off the market and we hope the demand
will be better when the elections are over.
Roses are very plentiful, as is the regu-
lar occurrence at this time. Carnations,
supply and demand about equal. Violets
are of good quality and fairly plentiful.
Bulbous stock is commencing to come in.
Paper Whites and Roman hyacinths
were brought in during the week in fair-
ly large quantities and are finding ready
sale.

Exhibition Plans.

Elaborate preparations are being made
for the big fruit, flower and honey show
to be held in Toronto November 15 to
19. This is being conducted on similar
lines to what is known as the winter
live stock show at Guelph, in which great
interest is taken. This exhibition is be-
ing aided by the government, and it is
expected, with the lectures and demon-
strations that will be made, that it will
be one of the most interesting and edu-
cational shows that has ever taken place
in Canada. Anyone wishing special in-
formation should write to the secretary,
H. B. Cowan, Parliament building, To-
ronto. D. J.

Marion, Ixd. — Gunnar Teilmann is
giving a flower show at his greenhouses
these days. He is growing fifty-five
varieties of chrysanthemums, only a
few in any quantity, however.

A VIEW IN ONE CORNER OF THE FLOWER GROWERS' MARKET, 58-60 WABASH AVE.. CHICAGO.

(ANOTHER VIIW WAS SHOWN LAST WEEK. ALSO SEE NEXT WEEK'S REVIEW.)

mm

THE TENDENCY everywhere is for the buyers to seek to get into closest touch with the sources of
supply and in the Chicago market the city buyers, who are constantly on the ground and in touch
with the situation, go first each morning to the Flower Growers' Market, 58 to 60 Wabash Avenue,
to supply their wants. Here on one floor they find set out for their convenient inspection more stock
than is received in any other wholesale house in the West, including everything which is to be found
anywhere else, and many things which are not to be had elsewhere; all stock reliably fresh, for every-
one sells out clean each day at the prevailing market price. And, best of all, here they come into
personal relations with the man who produces the goods, and find m him one who has learned that
to do profitable business you must see that your customer, too, makes a profit from your goods. It
being true that the Chicago buyers are best satisfied with buying at the Market, does it not follow
that you, Mr. Out-of-Town Buyer, would find the growers at the Market your most dependable source of supply?
Give any one on the floor your standing order and he has the whole resources of the Market to draw upon, and
can meet all requirements as to quality and quantity as well for you as he can for the city buyers. And your
interests will be his interests, you may rest assured of that. As a matter of fact, the growers represented at the
Market are taking good care of a great many of out-of-town buyers whose patronage is so highly valued that,
withevery facility for so doing, new buyers will be afforded every consideration which has gained and held the older
patrons. The Market can take good care of the largest order, but no order is too small to receive careful attention.

Field of Sweet Peas in Bloom at Gilroy Farm of G C Mone & Co^ Santa Clarat CaL

Y^etable Forcing.

RADISHES.

Successional sowings of radishes
should be made, according to demand.
"When a continuous supply is to be kept
up a sowing will be necessary about
every week or ten days, as that is about
the length of time a crop will last from
the time gathering commences. If the
seed is sown thickly the time would be
considerably extended, but the result
would be a much inferior article. If
maturing is delayed through crowding,
soft, pithy, badly shaped radishes are
invariably the result.

After making sure that the seed is
good or ascertaining just what per-
centage can safely be depended on to
germinate, the seed should be sown
just thick enough so that every individ-
ual radish will have room to develop
without being crowded. Sown thus the
whole crop should mature within a
week. Of course there will be a few
small ones left but it does not pay to
keep the bench waiting for them to
mature. Better sacrifice them and put
in another succession.

Before sowing again the soil should
be forked over and well broken up and
if green fly has made its appearance
on the former crop, the surface of the
soil had better get a liberal dusting
of tobacco powder, which should be
left over night to kill any of the pests
that may be crawling around. When
the soil is forked over next day the
powder will necessarily be forked in,
but it will not do any harm and will
serve as a manure.

Badishes being a quick maturing
crop, and what might be called a light
feeder, it is unnecessary to have a
heavy, rich soil for them. The lighter
and freer the soil is the nicer and
cleaner the product will be. A liberal
supply of water is necessary, but this
has to be regulated according to the
lightness or retentiveness of the soil.
Begarding temperature, I have found

45 degrees by night, with a rise of 15
degrees by day, the most suitable. A
higher temperature will not facilitate
matters much, out is sure to be pro-
ductive of green fly and other insect
pests.

Although I experimented with sev-
eral varieties during the last season I
found nothing better suited for forcing
than the variety I recommended last
year, Non Plus Ultra. This is a very
dwarf topped, quick maturing variety,
firm fleshed and well flavored.

W. S. Croydon.

TOMATOES.

Please tell us of a good soil compost
for tomatoes. To what height do Eclipse,
Stirling Castle and Sutton's Best of All
grow if planted the first week in Novem-
ber? B. P. T.

In mixing our compost for tomatoes
we use three loads of good fibrous sod
to one load of partially decomposed ma-
nure. This is composted at least six
months before being used, and is chopped
up and thoroughly mixed just previous
to using.

The varieties of tomatoes mentioned
will grow to a height of eight feet or
over if trained to a single stem and al-
lowed to do so, but the tops can be
pinched out and the plants restricted to
any height desired over four feet. Un-
der this height the plants would be too
short to produce a profitable crop.

DATE OF EASTER.

It is well to not lose sight of the fact
that next year Easter is very late,

like to have some one tell me how to
get rid of them. I have six mole traps,

A TOUR AMONG CALIFORNIA
SEED GROWERS.

Continuing our tour of inspection
north' from Arroyo Grande, the next
point of interest is Gilroy. Here is lo-
lated an extensive ranch of C. C. Morse
& Co., who also have large interests at
Santa Clara and "up the river." The
test ground of this firm is carried out
on a large scale. There is not a va-
riety of lettuce but what is known to
them by actual test. New varieties of
sweet peas and special stocks of gar-
den seeds from all parts of the world
are tested by experts, and the differ-
ence, or no difference, as the case may
be, in this stock or that stock is tabu-
lated and recorded. Here the synonym
is found and the variety classed. The
proper information is handed out to
any who are considered entitled to it,
or kept in a sealed package for future
reference.

The years of observation and experi-
ence of this firm place them at the
front among California seed growers,
and what is not known by them in rela-
tion to the business of seed growing in
California is hard to find out. Their
operations cover the whole field of the
standard seeds as grown in California,
and their inside label is thought to be
as safe a guarantee of the contents of
the bag as can be had.

Six miles south of Gilroy is Sar-
gent, where Waldo Rohnert operates.
This young man has been quite suc-
cessful as a grower. Onion seed, let-
tuce, sweet peas, etc., are grown by
him in large quantities and the oppor-
tunities for branching out are of the
best. At the time of the writer's visit
to his place he had in addition to his

31 BARCLAY STREET,

NEW YORK.

Sargent ranch some plantings "up the
river" from which he expected con-
siderable.

The next point is Santa Clara, the
home of all the pioneers in seed grow-
ing. San Jose, being only a suburb
in importance, answers for a "stopping
place. The street cars connect the two.
San Jose is the headquarters of the
Braslan Seed Growers' Co.; that is one
good reason it is on the map. It is a
good place to put up at any way, and
is a beautiful city.

W. J. Fosgate, who operates on the
Stockton ranch, was the first grower
visited at Santa Clara. He is what is
termed a new grower, compared with
the pioneers. He is making good prog-
ress, has every opportunity to push
the business along and is coming to the
front. He grows onion seed, lettuce,
radish, etc.

J. M. Kimberlin & Co., whose title to
"pioneer seed growers of California"
is not disputed, do themselves credit.
They have operated in the Santa Clara
valley for twenty-five or more years
and have seen the industry grow from
a small beginning to its present huge
proportions. They have been able to
keep up with the procession and grow
everything that the others do on quite
a large scale.

The head office of C. C. Morse & Co.
is at Santa Clara. In connection with
their office they have a fine warehouse
on the main street of the town and its
appointments and facilities are right
up to date. The original Morse ranch
is located about a mile or so from
their warehouse.

Chin ah Coon, a Chinaman, until
within a year back was something of a
factor in seed growing at Santa Clara.
His operations were Americanized and
his fields compared favorably with oth-
ers in the locality. Now, it is said, he
has gone back to China to enjoy the
use of the money he acquired as a seed
grower. As laborers. Chinamen have
been important adjuncts to seed grow-
ing in California, and in this capacity
they still cut a figure. It is notice-
able, however, that the average Chinese
laborer now on the seed ranch is get-
ting old, and as recruits irom the Ce-
Icctial empire are barred from entry,
the time will soon come when the China-
man will no longer be available. This
circumstance is regretted by many of
the growers.

There are many other men and scenes
of interest in the vicinity of Santa
Clara. What some of the best known
men in the seed growing industry are

for to include them all in this install-

The past week has been a very active
one in all kinds of seasonable bulbs.
Roman hyacinths and Paper White nar-
cissi are well cleaned up in the larger
sizes. Double-nose Von Sion, crocus, and
Lilium candidum are in short supply.
The outlook for red clover seed is not
assuring; prices tend upward in view of
the short crop in this and other states.
Foreign countries offer us no hope. Eus-
sia and Hungary are the largest pro-
ducers of red clover seed among the
European countries. Late reports from
Russia are to the effect that there will
not be over thirty-five per cent of a crop,
and Hungary only fifteen per cent. Aus-
tria, Italy, France and Germany will not
have over forty per cent of a yield. It is
said that Great Britain will be a buyer

Iree-soed dl^li Ihutlon of 1902.

A. C. Ncllls. president of the New York
Market Gardeners' Association, of West Brigh-
ton, S. I., claims that Secretary Wilson not
only refused to award the contract for |180,000
worth of seeds to the lowest bidder, but by
manipulating the schedules and by private let-
ting gave the Henry Phillips Seed and Imple-
ment Company, of Toledo, a profit of $40,000
of the government's money. Secretary Wilson
I'.ns refust'd 10 discuss the matter of tbe con-
trnrt for the seed for 1902.

Prorcsais for seeds for the fiscal year end-
ing Jun*» 30. ir02. were sent out November 20,
1900. and closed December 12, 1000. Tbe pro-
posals called for precisely the same quantities
and character of seeds as the distribution then
being put up. This amounted to 23,961.168
packets of garden and flower seed. The pro-
posals stated that the bids were in "anticipa-
tion of an appropriation act," etc. The low-
est bid was for $416% per 1,000 packets and
was verbally awarded to the New York Mar-
ket Gardeners' Association, subject to tbe ap-
propriation to be made. Tlie new appropriation
was made about March 1 and increased the
usual appropriation abont flOO.OOO. and con-
tained a clause making it mandatory for the
Socrotary to expend at least $180,000 for seeds
for distribution.

Secretary Wilson set aside the bids and
schedules of December 12. 1900, and on March
5, 1901. had a new schedule of seeds pre-
pared, reducing the proportions of expensive
seeds, such as beans, corn, pcss and oniony
and addi'.g cheaper families of seeds, thns
considerably reducing tbe cost of the bnlk.
These expensive seeds were reduced abont fif-
teen per cent, and Secretary Wilson Is charged
with arbitrarily Increasing the price per thou-
sand packets to $4.70.

This action was taken t\itbout warning the
seedsmi'n Interested In the contract, nor was
liny opportunity given theni to bid on tbe re-
vised and cheapened contract.

About the middle of April of that year, Mr.
N^lUs •jlalms Secretary Wilson entered into a
private contract with tlie Phillips Seed and
Implement Company, cf Toledo, by which an
excessive profit was made, as claimed by Mr.
Nellls. It Is fair to add that Mr. Nellis may
be a prejudiced witness, as he has been
charged with irregularities In a previous con-
tract with the Department of Agriculture.

Representative Fitzgerald, of Brooklyn, In-
troduced a resolution In the House calling for
an Investigation of the letting of this contract
and of form<»r contracts, but the matter was
pigeon-holed in the Committee on Agriculture.

PACIFIC COAST.

AMONG ROSE GROWERS.

I have visited, mthin the past two
weeks, several dozen of the largest rose
growers in the vicinity of San Francisco
and a few of my observations in regard
to what can be expected for the coming
four months may be of interest to the
florists and wholesalers.

As soon as the chrysanthemum crop is
harvested we will have to rely on indoor
flowers, except for some kinds of bulb-
ous stock and carnations and roses are,
of course, of the greatest interest. From
what I have seen of the latter there is
practically no increase in the plantings
this season. Many of the growers who
devoted their houses to the growing of
Beauties are planting Maids and Brides
instead. I have seen only a half dozen
good ranges of Beauty that appear as
though they could be depended on to
produce fancy stock, although there are
a good many thousand planted in this
neighborhood. With Brides and Maids
the conditions are more favorable to a
good winter supply and I do not think
there will be a great scarcity at any
time. In quantity, there are more planted
than last season. Although the majority
of the stock now being cut is short and
freak- stemmed the prospects are for
plenty of good flowers in the near future.

Some growers have discarded Liberty
this season, although I do not see any-
thing at present to take its place. There
is considerable difference of opinion
among our largest growers regarding this
rose. Some claim that it is a money-
maker and others do not succeed well
with it, although it has superseded Me-
teor almost entirely. Queen of Edgely
has been planted in a few places with
fair results. Pres. Carnot and Ulrich
Brunner are in for a good deal of bench
room and the stock looks well.

There is nothing new being planted ex-
tensively in the bne of roses this season.
A few growers have imported some of
the newer eastern roses but not in suffi-
cient quantity to form a decided opinion
as to their merits. Perle des Jardins
is a splendid yellow rose but I find it
Plowing in only a few places. The flor-
ists seem to be able to get along without
yellow roses and no one makes a spe-
cialty of them. Cecil Brunner is a pay-
ing variety in a good many places and is
extensively grown by a few. This is
about the end of the list of varieties.

There are a good many houses changed
to carnation growing, that formerly
were filled with roses and vice versa, al-
though the great majority of glass is de-
Toted to pinks and I will give a few ob-
servations on the plants and varieties
frown here in my next letter. G.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market

Business is very quiet, and has been
so for the past month. It is not as good
in a general way as it was a year ago
and the prospects are not very encourag-
ing. Some retailers are inclined to think
the approaching election has something
to do with it and that possibly after the
fun is all over receipts will be heavier.
The wholesalers and growers are feeling
the quiet times also and the price of
flowers has fallen considerably from
those of a month or six weeks ago. Un-
der ordinary circumstances flowers should
bring ^a good price at the beginning of
November but this year is an exception.

Of course it must be kept in mind that
we are having extremely favorably
weather for all kinds of growing stock
and the great abundance of flowers of
all descriptions would be offered in far
less quantity had we had a few sharp
frosts. But our time will probably come
and we will sigh for the days when we
caught a glimpse of the sun and it was
not necessary to keep heat going twenty-
four hours a day. There is a good de-
mand only for fancy roses and they are
not to be had in quantity. Beauties
are not yet first-class. Carnations are
plentiful and will be a glut until the
greater portion of the chrysanthemums
are over. Mums are in their prime and
they are as fine as I have ever seen them.
The weather has particularly favored the
growers this season. Violets are plenti-
ful, although there is no surplus. Other
outdoor flowers are on the wane, except
cosmos. Sweet peas have all but dis-
appeared. Valley and lilies are in fair
Kdpply and a few narcissi are being of-
fered. All sorts of bulbous stock will be
in season earlier than usual this year.

The proposed Auxiliary channel con-

Various considerations, among them
the prospect of a sharp fight in con-

is now at its height, says the Phoenix
Nursery. There seems to be about an
•equal demand for both ornamental and
fruit stock. The season is starting out
Tery well, the stock being in good con-
•dition. They have about 600 acres in
cultivation. At present they are work-
ing about 125 men. The packing sea-
son ends about December 1, but goods
-will be shipped to agents over the coun-
try all winter. From indications at
present there will be a large demand
for small fruits in the spring. The
other nurseries in Normal, including

CLEVELAND.

The Market.

The Cleveland market during the
past two weeks has not been up to the
usual standard. Business has not made
the lively spurt expected after two
heavy frosts, which made outdoor stock
decidedly scarce. There have been sev-
eral weddings of late, which called for
some fine decorations, using considerable
stock, but outside of this and a few
funeral orders there is practically noth-
ing doing.

The cut of tea roses has been quite
heavy of late and the quality of stock
is very good, possibly owing to the
cooler weather. Carnations are not
over-plentiful and an active demand is
prevalent. Good prices are realized.
Flowers show good substance and color.
Lawson, Enchantresa and Crane seem
to be the most called for. Whites are
scarce and not very good.

The chrysanthemums are having full
play at present, which may account for
the poor sales on roses. Some fine
chrysanthemums are to be had at ridicu-
lously low prices, considering the qual-
ity of the flowers. Blooms which ought
to bring from $2 to $3 per dozen only
find buyers at from $1 to $1.50 per
dozen. It is hoped, aa the season ad-
vances, better prices will be realized. It
is a general opinion that after election
business will assume a different atti-
tude and the retailer and grower alike
will wear that smile which won't come
off.

Variofss Notes.

A visit to the various stores found
them all gaily decorated with the queen
of autumn. Gasser is using the massive
effect, filling one large window with a
solid color. It was nicely arranged and
quite in keeping with their large store.

The Cleveland Floral Co., which re-
cently opened a fine store on Euclid ave-
nue, a little east of Gasser 's, has a nice
display of chrysanthemums and Boston
ferns in one window and a show of bulbs
in another.

Smith & Fetters, as usual, have a high
•lass window, resplendent with chrysan-
themums, Beauties and Piersoni ferns, all
with good effect. Forest City.

TAHRYTOWN, N. Y.

The regular meeting of the Tarry-
town Horticultural Society was held
October 26, President Ballantyne in
the chair. I. H. King, Irvington, was
duly elected an active member. Tracy
Dow, Irvington, was elected an hono-
rary member, G. Fresenius, Irvington,
and J. Woodcock, Yonkers, were ~pro-
posed for active membership.

Some very promising seedling chrys-
anthemums were exhibited at this meet-
ing by L. Martin, Irvington, which were
awarded honorable mention, with the
recommendation that they be grown
next year.

Several special prizes were thankfully
received to be competed for at the No-
vember exhibition, November 1, 2 and 3.

The sad death of one of our most
active and esteemed members, Franz
S. Pammer, is deeply regretted by all

PITTSBURG.

The Market

Business on the whole was all right for
the commission men the past week, but
in a retail way it was not all it should
have been. There were a number of good
decorations, which used up a quantity of
stock, but small trade seems to be hold-
ing back. Chrysanthemums are cleaning
up much better than for several years,
which is saying a good deal considering
the quantity coming in, with prices aver-
aging just a little better than last sea-
son.

Variotis Notes.

Sunday was perfection for a fall day
and all roads seemed to lead to the mum
shows. Another of our Pittsburg mil-
lionaires, A. E. Peacock, opened his con-
servatory to the public. His houses con-
tain mums, carnations, palms and ferns.
It is said that there were 25,000 visitors
at the Schenley park show, and not less
than 10,000 at Allegheny park, while a
constant stream of visitors took ad-
vantage of H. C. Prick's open houses.
It is expected that this will have its ef-
fect on business the coming week, as
people cannot look at such shows with-
out wanting to possess flowers.

Patrick Maier is sending the Pittsburg
Cut Flower Co. Paper Whites and Ro-
mans, the first of the season.

Gustav & J. W, Ludwig are making a
grand display of mums on their stand
in the Allegheny Market. They' are
among the pioneers in the business, as
they started about twenty-eight years
ago and are still as energetic as begin-
ners. They get their fair share of every-
thing that is abroad.

Randolph & McClements had a very
novel decoration for Halloween, using
large quantities of corn stalks, corn in
the husk, autumn leaves, pumpkins, wired
masks for light shades, the proverbial
witch, and all arranged to make appro-
priate and beautiful decorations for the
night.

The Washington Floral Co. are send-
ing in some fine mums, among them some
very fine Cheltoni, which were the finest
yellow seen this year.

The Cut Flower Co. is receiving some
of the new white carnation, Fred Burki,
which they report as selling on sight.

Mrs. Schmucker, 4709 Liberty avenue,
is the latest to open a cut flower store.
As there is no one within a mile or more
of her, she should do all right.

Among the visitors this week were
Wm. Schrader, Johnstown, Pa., and
Martin Reukauf, Philadelphia.

Tuesday night is meeting night for the
Florists' Club, when mums will be the
order of the day. Everyone is invited
to bring a few blooms.

The bowlers met Friday night and it
is said they are getting good.

Howard Carney, of J. B. Murdoch &
Co., will take unto himself a wife this
coming week. Hoo-Hoo.

NOVEMBBH 3. 1904.

ROCHESTER, N. Y.

Since last writing we have had the
■pleasure to have lots of sun, which has
livened up everything. Growers have
been picking considerable more stock,
but on account of the good weather
trade has been still heavier, so prices on
carnations have, stiffened again, with
common stock bringing $2 and Enchant-
ress $3. Some of our store men have
paid as high as $5 per hundred for En-
chantress already this season.

Jas. Bishop is cutting some grand
mums. He reports his carnations doing
jiieely.

H. Merritt has had the pleasure to
discover a white sport of Enchantress in
bis greenhouse. M.

The Weekly Florists* Review/

NOVBMBEB 3, 1004.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y.

A. Belyea & Son are cutting some
very fine mums of Robt. Halliday and
Alice Byron, they having given up
violet growing and gone into mums.
There is a fine lot of white and yellow
Eaton and Bonnaflfon in sight. They
also have one house of carnations,
planted with Queen Louise and Joost.
The Queen Louise is showing from
eight to twelve buds and flowers. All
the growers who have seen them say
they are the best they ever saw.

James Coleman has given up growing
violets and gone in chrysanthemum
and sweet pea growing and is doing
very well at it.

Sloane Bros, have also thrown over
violets and planted all their houses
with carnations, having about 18,000
plants in ten varieties. All look ^ood
and clean. The writer was down to
see them a few days ago and found one
of the brothers in a hole in the ground.
I asked him if he was preparing to
bury the money they expect to make
this winter off their carnations, and he
said, "No; we are making a vat for
liquid manure and will put our money
in the coal bin." When I left he was
on his knees, not praying, but slapping
on the cement good and thick.

Speaking about violet growing, I hear
that six growers around here have
thrown out violets and put in something
else. The low prices and big coal bills
were the cause of it.

Our tenth annual flower show will
take place at the State Armorj^, No-
vember 9 and 10. The society' offers
$750 in premiums and $175 in special
prizes are offered by the members.
Competition is going to be very hot,
as the mums are finishing up fine this
year, so get a hump on, boys, or you
will get left. X. Y. Z.

MoLiNE, III.— On October 13 the Tri-
City Florists ' Club met at Julius Staack 's,
Theo. Ewoldt reading an essay on ear-
nations. On November 10 the club will
meet at Central park, Davenport, to in-
spect the chrysanthemums.

on pages U95-96-99- J208- U.whal they say about the FUMIGATING KIND TOBACCO
POWDER. All beg^an with a five-pound trial bag; at our expense, which gave them an opportunity
without cost to prove its GOODNESS and our assertion that it was the most effective, cleanest and
quickest, as well as cheapest ((0 cents per 100-foot house) article to fumigate with, and that all kinds of
aphis can be killed in one night. Let us send you a five-pound trial bag by express, it will cost you
nothing but the express charges on it, and be convinced that what your brother growers say of it is
true. Our booklet tells of it; we mail it on request* .

nXTING OLD TUBES.

Please tell me the best way to fit
3-inch boiler tubes that are too thin to
be threaded. They are, of course, to
be used for hot water. O. N.

It has never been my good fortune
to see a house piped with east oflf boiler
tubes, and I can only suggest a pos-
sible solution to this problem, I do
not say this will prove satisfactory,
but it is worthy of a trial. Secure a
long sleeve, or section of pipe that will
allow at least three-eighths of an inch
of space all around between the out-
side of the flue and the inside of the
sleeve. If there are some rough pro-
jections on the ends of the flues, batter
them only sufficiently to allow passing
the flue inside the sleeve. After the
ends of two flues have been adjusted
equidistant in the sleeve, which should
be about ten or twelve inches long,
force a roll of hemp packing into the
sleeve from each end to prevent the
cement which is to be used to make the
joint from finding its way to the in-
terior of the flue. After this prelimi-
nary calking is completed, stuff the
sleeve full of a cement made as fol-
lows: Powdered clay six pounds, iron
filings one pound, made into a thick
paste with linseed oil. Portland cement
one part, sand two parts, has also been
successfully used in such joints. It is
necessary that these joints become well
set before water or heat is brought in
contact with them. L. C. C.

NEV HAVEN, CONN.

Qiarles Munro, formerly at 938 Chapel
street, is remodeling the store at 974,
formerly occupied by the Robert Veitch
Co., who have retired from business.
They were the oldest florists in New
Haven. A large show house is being
added to the store, which will be made
one of the most complete and up-to-date
establishments in the state. Mr.Munro
has always conducted a first-class place
and has been steadily successful.

Elmira, N. Y. — Thomas J. Leyden
has opened a very handsome flower store
at 117 West Water street. John K.
Phesay, formerly with Grove P, Raw-
son and later at Jamestown with the
Lake View Rose Gardens, is the cut
flower worker. The stock of plants came
from the Lake View Rose Gardens, and
the United States Cut Flower Co. will
provide the daily supplies of cut stock.

NOTES ON A NEGLECTED PLANT.

Choisya ternata is a plant that is Bot
so often seen in greenhouses as it de>
serves to be when one considers its value
.IS a subject for the production of sweet-
ly-scented white flowers in spring. Al-
most hardy, easily grown, and easily
forced into flower, I have found it very
useful in helping to bridge over the gap
which sometimes occurs in cold and late
springs, between the general batch of
forced bulbs and the time flowers can be
had in quantity from the open borders.

greenhouse in January or February they
will produce their umbels of chaste,
hawthorne-scented flowers throughout
March. Plants will stand a fairly high
temperature, but then the syringe must
be freely used, as red spider and thrips
are apt to disfigure the foliage if kept
too warm and dry.

As much syringing spoils the flowers,
it is better not to subject the plants to
a high temperature till flowering is over,
when it is advisable to give a little more
heat and moisture in order to "draw"
the young growth a little, as these plants
naturally make short and stocky growth,
which is not so useful for cutting as
yfhtm drawn a few inches longer. When
flowering is over, potting should have at-
tention, and plants trimmed into shape
a bit if necessary, and, if convenient,
given a little more heat for a few weeks
as advised. They should be gradually
hardened off and finally set out in the
open by the end of June and kept care-
fully watered, when they will complete
and ripen their growth and insure a
crop of bloom for another spring.

Cuttings of the young growth, with or
without a heel of older wood, root freely
in spring in any ordinary cutting compost,
set into a propagating pit, where some
bottom heat is afforded, and pots should
be kept fairly moist till cuttings are
rooted.

• Unless they can be rooted early, young
plants are better not pinched, because,
flowering as they do on the points of the
young shoots, young plants unpinched
give one good truss; whereas, if pinched
the resultant breaks are often too late to
ripen properly, and fail to flower next
spring altogether. In fact, no pinching
of young growth should be practiced on
either old or young plants, as they can
be kept in shape by cutting back freely
when growth is starting in spring.

Good fibrous loam with a dash of leaf-
mold and sand is a good potting medium,
though a little peat may be given cut-
tings at their first shift, which should be
into 4-inch pots. Plants in large pots
will do for several years with an annual
top dressing, and occasional waterings
with weak liquid manure wheg in full
growth. Any light, frost-proof structure
will keep the plants safe in winter until
wanted again for spring use. — Garden-
ing "^orld.

CXDNDENSATION.

In our plant we have eighty feet of
5-inch pipe, 600 feet of 2y2-inch, 6,000
feet of 1-inch and 4,600 feet of I14-
inch pipe, also 200 feet of 2% -inch
drips and eighty feet of 3-inch drips.
We carry a night temperature of 50
degrees, and want to know what the
maximum condensation per hour would
be in weather 20 degrees below zero,
and with all pipes working to full ca-
pacity. We are given widely varying
estimates as to the size of pump re-
quired. H. H. N.

From the statement of pipe given
above the total number of square feet
of radiation in this plant is 4,973.96
square feet. This gives 1,492,188 Brit-
ish thermal units transmitted from ra-
diating surface per hour, which is equi-
valent to 1,544 pounds of steam or 186
gallons of water per hour. For sake of
safety and ample provisions, we will say
300 gallons per hour. I know of
no more accurate method of estimating
this than that here given. If you have
a pump with 300 gallons capacity per
hour it should be amply large to han-
dle the condensation. If, however, the
pump can only lift 300 gallons under
atmospheric pressure it will be at a
disadvantage when working against a
head of steam on the boiler, but if it
is a boiler feed pump there should be
no difBculty. L. C. C.

Trial of the suit for $1,000 damages,
brought by F. A. Conway & Co., florists,
Napoleon and Beecher streets, against
Anton Schmidt and Henry Cook, owners
of a brick kiln on Beecher street, has be-
gun. It iff alleged that soot and cinders
from smoke made by the brick kiln have
greatly injured the company's stock. It
is charged that the brick manufacturers
have violated the city smoke ordinance.

We aeb much pleased with the Flor-
ists' Manual, and could not get along

A TIKW IN one: CORMEB of THK FLOWKB OBOWEB8' MARKET, 58-60 WABASH ATE., CHICAGO.

(OTHKR VIIW8 WERK SHOWN IN RECENT ISSUES )

WWW

II F» as has been demoostrated* the Flower Growers' Market in Chicaj^o enjoys the favor of the local buyers, who
make it their place of first call each morning, and if, as is the fact, the out-of-town buyers are rapidly finding
out that the Market is the place where growers and their representatives make it their business to look out
' for the customers' interests, whether the buyer is present or not, these being the facts, Mr. Grower, doesn't it
follow that the Market is the place to do your selling ? True, there is now more stock on the stands in the
Market each day than is received in any other wholesale house in the West, but so are there more buyers
there, and their number is constantly on the increase. Furthermore, the growers there are not in com-
petition. They each help the other, for buyers go where the most stock is to be found. The more growers, the more
stock, and the more buyers. It is an admirable arrangement. The busy hours at the Market are 8:00 to 9t30 a. nu, and
stock not reserved for orders t» usually cleaned out promptly, so that it does not take a grower's whole time.
G>me in any morning and see tlie pace at which business moves along, and talk with the manager and the present
stand-hoUers. You can arrange to have your stock sold here without giving up any of your personal time to it, if you so desire.

THE PRESENT STAND-HOLDERS IN THE MARKET ARE:

KAjrUFAOTUBBB OF

I

Immortelle Floral Novelties and Dealer in Florists' Supplies

ESTABLISHED 1881

Onr Immortelle DesiRfna are made by skilled and experienced workers and must not be compared with the cheap and poor work made
by others.

Oar Christmas Bells are made on wire frames true to shape. The Immortelles are «r1ued on. one flower at a time, and they are dove-tailed
in sncb a skillful manner that each flower protects the other, preventing them frayinK out In the center. sivinK the flnished work a velvety appear-
ance. The Bells are trimmed with natural green Moss (wbich is better than the sawdust used by others) and tied with red ribbon bows. The larger
sizes bave ' Merry Christmas" in gold letters on the streamers of the ribbon. The finished piece is done up in neat red boxes ready for sale.

A Trial Order will convince florists of the superiority of these goods over any other kind offered to the trade to-day and they will find them
just the thing for Christmas Sales to please the most fastidious.

Patented MKL T^^l

• .d^^^^^^k !

A medium priced Bell, but as good as the best that has ever been put on the market. Perfect and graceful in shape, brigrbt and attrac-
tive in color. They are stronjjly and flTmly made— easily handled— no chance for breakage.

We introduced these AIiPHA BEUiS last year in the large eastern cities, and could not Oil one fourth of our orders before the season
for them had fairly started. We have prepared for this emergency this year, and are now in a position to fill all orders with promptness and
dispatch. The West and the South are comparatively new fields for our AXiPHA BSl^IiB and we believe that there is not a town— no
matter how small it may be— where florists and others could not do a good business, as our AIiPKA BSXiZi is just the thing that is wanted
for a medium priced quick selling Christmas article. They also make a pretty store, window or general holiday decoration, and one that is
bound to become very popular.

Our AIiFKA BEAKS are made in 2%. i%, b%, 7. 9, 12 and 1.5-inch size, and are conveniently packed one dozan in a box. Price lists
to dealers sent on request. For the convenience of those who would like to see a sample of our A^PHA BEIiIi we will mail a sample of
4^-incb bell postpaid upon receipt of 20 cents to cover coat of postage and packing.

NEW

ASTERS

BENTHEY'S PINK...

BiE ABOVE CUT shows a vase of BENTHEY'S WHITE with flowers from
four to five inches in diameter, and stems from thirty to forty inches in length.
These two varieties will produce more first-class salable flowers than any Aster
now in commerce. They are pronounced by both grower and consumer THE FINEST
\STERS EVER SEEN IN CHICAGO, and were the FAVORITE ASTERS IN THE CHICAGO
AND ST. LOUIS MARKETS the past season. Read what some of the prominent Florists say:

"I'he Asters received are a fine lot — the best we have
ever seen." JOHN BREITMEYER'S SONS,

Detroit, Mich.

"We have handled the Benthey Asters in large quan-
tities the past season and found it the best seller we have
ever hanaled, and sold at double the price of any other
variety in the market." P. J. HAUSWIRTH,

Chicai^o, 111.

"It is the best Aster I ever handled both for cut flow-
ers and design work. Hopie you will have more next
season, as I know the demand will be great."

J. UBENEKE, St. Louis. Mo.
"We have seen the Ne# Benthey Aster, and consider
it the best in the market. /When you are ready to place
the seed on the market kipdly inform us, as we are anxious
to grow some next season." NANZ & NEUNER,

Louisville, Ky.

W&^Thc Seed of the TWO VARIETIES will
be ready for distribution January if 1905,

WORLD'S FAIR FLOWER SHOW

The World's Fair Flower Show was
opened by an address by President D. R.
Francis, in the Palace of Horticulture
nt the St. Louis exposition on Monday,
November 7, and is proving a success
equal to the most sanguine expectations
of its most enthusiastic promoter. It
may be said without fear of stretching
the truth that this is the greatest flower
show ever held in the United States. The
wealth of exhibits is such as to tax the
capacity of the very large conservatory
at the disposal of the management. As
an example of the way the stock came
out for the very liberal premiums of-
fered it may be cited that in the classes
for 100 blooms of cut chrysanthemums
there were seven entries of white, fix of
yellow and six of pink, every one of
them grand. The display was equally
strong in nearly every class, the third
prize being almost invariably awarded.

The only feature in which the ahow is
in any way below the standard of the
best ever seen in this country is in speci-
men chrysanthemum plants. In this par-
ticular department Boston holds the first
place, the west showing no such enor-
mous or well trained plants as aro fre-
quently seen in the halls of the Massa-
chusetts Horticultral Society. The plants
exhibited are, however, of very good
character, judged by western standard?.

Manager Hauswirth was confronted by
a very heavy task in the caring for and
arrangement of the very great number
of exhibits, an immense quantity of
stock being rushed into his hands within
a few brief hours. That he has been
so successful in the arrangement of the
stock is an evidence of the wisdom of
the choice which placed him at the head
of affairs. It is difficult to see how the
material could have been disposed to
better advantage. The show is certainly

as attractive as it would be possible to
make in a building of such unattractive
architectural design. The bare walls and
posts naturally add to the diffiiculties of the
manager, but the general effect as one
enters the hall is very fine indeed. Good
use of wild smilax and autumn foliage
has been made. The St. Louis florisfs
rendered invaluable aid in staging, the
show.

The very liberal manner in which
Chief Taylor, and the World's Fair offi-
cials have co-operated has aided materi-
ally in the success of the show. The ad-
vertising has been most effective and
the attendance from the opening has
been most gratifying. The attendance
on Monday was very large, on Tuesday
hirger and Wednesday saw a still fur-
ther increase. Jt is thought that the
show will be a complete financial success
if the weather for the balance of the
week is such as to favor large attend-
ance. Certainly nothing like such crowds
have been seen in the vicinity of the
Horticulture building since the expo-
sition opened, and therein the show has
served its purpose with the exposition
management and with the trade.

There are a large number of trade vis-
itors present and much direct business
benefit will be derived from the oppor-
tunity afforded for the examination of
the many meritorius novelties. On
Thursday afternoon there is to be a
meeting of the St. Louis Florists' Club
!ind a conference of horticulturists under
the auspices of the exposition. The show
T\ill remain open until 10 g. m. on Sat-
urday evening.

occasion of the visit of the Chrysanthe-
mum Society of America at Boston, No-
vember 3 to 6. The red brick walls of
the main exhibition hall viere masked
vyith evergreens, spruce and pine being
used to form a suitable background for
the varied colors of the chrysanthemums.
The effect of this arrangement was most
charming, especially in the evening, when
the building was flooded with electric
light. As was expected, the projected
show at the World's Fair affected the
show to some extent, as some western
growers who had entered exhibits did not
appear, the big premiums at St. Louis no
doubt proving too attractive. While com-
petition in the cut flower classes fell be-
low expectations, some of the prominent
local growers staying at home for tarious
reasons, there was still a magnificent show
and the specimen plants were marvelous
examples of cultural skill, such as Boston
only can produce. The date of the show

was a trifle early for some growers. A
w( ek later would have been better, more
especially for the pot plants.

The principal tussle in the pot plant
section occurred in the class for eight
specimens. The competition was so close
that it took the judges a long time to de-
cide between the first and second prize
groups. Eventually the coveted honor
tell to William Anderson, gardener to H.
Dumaresq, who also won the same prize
in 1903. Air. Anderson's plants were su-
perbly grown. His varieties were Kate
Broomhead, Mrs. J. G. Breer, John
HhrimptoB, Mrs. B. H. Pearson, Black
Hawk, Mrs. F. A. Constable, Arethusa
and Miss Agnes Dalskov. A very close
second was D. F. Roy, gardener to E. S.
Converse, who had beautifully trained
and flowered plants. His varieties were
Robert Halliday, Black Hawk, Mrs. J. R.
Traintor, Arethusa, Theo, Golden Gate,
The Bard and A. J. Balfour. J. Nylan,
gardener to J. S. Bailey, was third. He
Fhowed, among others, excellent specimens
f f Yanariva, Mrs. F. A. Constable, Wm.
Duekham, Col. Appleton and Millicent
Richardson.

For three specimens Japanese incurved,

Mr. Roy won, with beautiful plauts of
Louis Boehmer, Dr. Enguehard and R. H.
Pearson. William Anderson was second
and third. For three reflexrd, Mr, Roy
was again in the lead, showing Red War-
rior, Mrs. J. G. Breer and Yanariva. Eob-
ert Marshall, gardener to E. W. Converse,
was second, with Red Warrior, The Bard
and Mrs, J. R. Traintor, For one speci-
mcn pompon, Mr. Marshall led with a
grand plant of that best of all pompons.
Savannah, Mr. Anderson being second
with the same variety. For one reflexed
Mr. Anderson was first, with Red War-
rior, Mr. Marshall being second and third.
For "any other variety" Messrs. Eoy,
Xylan and Marshall led in order named.
For two specimens anemone-flowered Mr,
Roy won, with Garza and Red Robin. The
first named was a magnificent specimen,
in our estimation the most meritorious
and certainly the most admired in the
hall. Tt carried over 800 flowers and
was a wonderful example of cultural skill.

For twelve specimens in 6-inch pots,
grown to a single stem, James Nicol was
in the lead, Mr. Roy taking second and
third prizes. The large groups of chry-
santhemums arranged for artistic effect,
interspersed with foliage plants, were ex-
tra good. The use of the single varieties,
especially Mizpah, as a bordering was
quite effective and these small varieties
seemed to be more popular with many vis-
itors than the big specimen blooms, Wm,
Thatcher, gardener to Mrs, John D. Gard-
ner, won in this class for an extensive
and tastefully arranged group. D. F. Roy
was a good second and E. A. Clark, Wm.
Kiggs, gardener, third. Most of the
chrysanthemums in these groups were
naturally grown and only suflScient train-
ing done to secure the desired effect.

For the Josiah Bradlee special prize for
twenty-five blooms in twenty-five varieties
there were five entries. William A. Riggs

ond, with William Duckham.

For the C. 8. A. special prize for
twenty-four blooms in twenty-four vari-
eties, William Duckham. Madison, I^. J.,

A. Cobbold and Cheltoni.

The C. S. A. silver cup for ten blooms
of any variety once more went to Mr.
Duckham, who thus captured all the visit-
ing society's first premiums at the Boston
show. His vase of Mrs. William Duck-

ham attracted great attention. We pre-
dict that Mrs. Duckham will be as popu-
lar in 1905 as her husband's namesake
in 1904.

Wells silver gilt and Wells silver med-
al for six blooms of the Wells-Pockett
set of 1903 were awarded to M. F. Plant,
Mr. Duckham having secured the gold
medal. President Herrington 's special
prize for chrysanthemums went to Mr.
Duckham, for superb Merzas.

In the way of miscellaneous exldbits
Thomas Dolliber filled a large table with
named specimen blooms. E. A. Clark
and • Mrs. E. M. Gill made similar dis-
plays. Edward McMulkin had a large
group of foliage plants interspersed
with cattleyas and dendrobiums. Farqu-
har & Co. had a fine bank of foliage
plants in which were quantities of Lor-
raine begonias finely flowered, chrysan-
themums and some charming cactus dah-
lias grown in small pots. Mrs. Cornelius
Vanderbilt, Andrew Pow, gardener, had
a fine lot of Amaryllis Belladonna which
are grown planted in frames at Newport,
also Gardenia florida. Farquhar & Co.
had a collection of very interesting
seedling chrysanthemums received from
Japan, which received honorable men-
tion.

A remarkable collection of fifty blooms
of new seedling chrysanthemums came
from W. Wells & Co., Earlswood, Surrey,
England. These were in charge of C. H.
Totty and were more closely scrutinized
tb^n anything else in the exhibition.
Most of the blooms had been cut on Oc-
tober 17, exhibited before the Royal
Horticultural Society on October 19, be-
ing a portion of an exhibit which there
secured a gold medal, were shipped to
Boston on October 22 and the majority
of the blooms when staged on November
3 were just as fresh as any others in
the exhibition. The blooms were among
the largest in the hall, had great depth
in nearly all cases, with stems aa hard
as the shoots on an oak tree. Some of
the finest of the collection were Mrs.
D. V. West, an improved Carnot; Mrs.
D. Willis James, Mrs. William Duck-
ham, a fine deep yellow flower, stem
and foliage perfect, bound to be a grand
commercial sort; Mrs. A. J. Miller and
J. H. Doyle, similar in color, huge terra
cotta; Mrs. William Knox, Merstham

A View of the Cut Blooms of Chrysanthemums at the World's Fair Flower Show.

Yellow, a fine early variety of good size
and depth, a good shade of yellow; Mrs.
J. Heaume, Seedling No. 10, Valerie
Greenham, a grand pink; Emily Mile-
ham, fine white, and others. The com-
mittee honored this most meritorious ex-
hibit with the highest award at its com-
mand, a gold medal. We trust Mr. Wells'
enterprise may lead others to send their
novelties over. Certainly our English
friends know how to grow big specimen
blooms.

Lager & Hurrell, Summit, N. J., had
their usual fine stand of orchids com-
piieing^any useful sorts. E. 0. Orpet
showed a number of seedling orchids
not for competition. H. A. Wheeler
showed a cross between Laelia Dayana
and Cattleya velutina (Laelio-cattleya
Piosperpine). For best display of cut
orchids the silver gilt medal went to the
F. L. Ames estate, W. N. Craig, garden-
er, who staged 100 varieties and species
filling 200 bottles. Colonel Charles
Pfaff, Geo. Melvin gardener, won the
silver medal and E. McMulkin the bronze
medal.

Sander & Son, St. Albans, England,
showed the new Nicotiana Sanderae, with
rosy red flowers two and one-half inches
in diameter. It was greatly admired and
will become popular for pot culture and
outdoor bedding. It received a silver
medal. Waban Bose Conservatories re-
ceived a first-class certificate for their
new rose, Wellesley, the color of which
takes the popular fancy and will make
it in big demand. They also showed a
fine vase of American Beauty. Carl Jur-
gens had fine Kaiserin and John Cook,
of Baltimore, a fine new seedling white
rose. T. DeVoy & Son received honor-
able mention for their new geranium,
Telegraph. John Scott was awarded a
silver medal for Nephrolepis Scottii, of
which he had a fine group. F. R. Pier-
son Co. had some handsome plants of
the improved Piersoni. A. M. D;!ven-
port had some pretty nephrolepis sports,

one from Piersoni receiving honorable
mention.

Carnations made quite an extensive
.showing. William Nicholson's special
prize for 100 white went to Peter Tisher
for his fine new seedling, which seems to
have all the merits of a first-class com-
n^ercial variety. Peter Fisher's prize
for fifty Nelson Fisher went to M. A. Pat-
ten & Son, while Patten's prize for Mrs.
AJ. A. Patten went to William Nichol-
son. H. A. Stevens & Co. had fine vases
of Fair Maid, Enchantress, Queen, Harry
Icnn, Mrs. Patten and J. H. Manley.
Geo. B. Anderson received hounrablo
mention for Seedling No. 10. John Barr
showed Elaine, a promising white. H.

A. Jahn Co. had about a dozen seedlings.
Wild Bose received honorable mention.
8. J. Goddard showed Helen Goddard, of
a beautiful lustrous pink shade, which
\*as much admired. It will be beard
from later. He received honorable men-
tion for a light pink seedling No. 9.
J. D. Thompson Carnation Co., .'oliet,
111., had fine vases of Estelle, Mrs. Pat-
ten and The Bride. The journey had
used up some of them in spite of ideal
packing. William Nicholson's vase of
.100 mixed blooms was a beauty. Backer
& Co. showed Crusader, Flamingci, Nel-
son plsher and fine Enchantress. L. E.
Small, Tewsbury, showed his white
seedling.

Coolidge Bros, had a good White Law-
son and White Cloud. M. A. Patten &
Son had honorable mention for a pink
sport from Mrs. Patten and Peter Fisher
a similar award for his crimson seed-
ling, No. 113. He also had a fine flesh-
colored seedling of the form of Joost.

B. C. Pye, Nyack, N. Y., had a rather
dull scarlet seedling and one similnr in
color to Mrs. Lawson. L. E. Small
showed striped Lawson. C. N. Osborne,
Newington, Conn., had a new white
seedling. Victory from Guttman & Weber
received a certificate of merit. It is a
fine, clear scarlet, size, stem, calyx and
f.irm exfelli nt. Robert Craig, owned

by the Cottage Gardens and the J. D.
Thompson Co., also received a certificate
of merit, color very fine scarlet, stem
strong, flower fringed, and good form.
I'iancee from Chicago Carnation Co., ar-
rived on the third day. It received a
certificate of merit. Gibson Beauty,
from J. D. Thompson Co., received hon-
orable mention.

The first and second prize collectionB
of eight specimen chrysanthemum plants
from William Anderson and D. F. Eoy
each received a cultural certificate, which
were well merited.

Nathan Smith & Son, Adrian, Mich.,
sent a few seedling chrysanthemums
which arrived on the third day. It was
pleasant to have one exhibit from our
western friends.

There was a fine exhibit of fruits and
vegetables in the basement hall. Silver
medals were awarded to Warren Heustis
& Son for celery and to Mrs. J. L.
Gardner, Wm. Thatcher, gardener, for
the finest brussels sprouts ever staged in
Boston, or probably in America.

Business Meeting.

The business session of the C. S. A.
\>as held Friday afternoon, November
4. President Herrington presided and
there was a good attendance. In the ab-
sence of Secretary Lemon, Elijah A.
Wood was appointed secretary pro-tem.
President Herrington delivered a short
address in opening the session. His re-
marks in part were as follows:

"We are pleased to meet in the city
of Boston, where all horticultural soci-
eties receive a hospitable welcome. After
the institution of the C. S. A. it was a
long time ere it dared essay to hold an
exhibition. At last, however, one was
held, in Chicago, and we have continued
to hold one from that time. It was a
long time ere any of the horticultural
societies had sufficient confidence to ask
foi this association. That time has
now happily passed. The splendid exhi-
bition speaks for itself. As a society

we should apologize to our Boston
friends for the comparative paucity of
contributions as a society. I confess a
feeling of keenest disappointment at
the non-attendance of many prominent
growers and the absence of their exhib-
its, more especially of western friends."
He did not make a prepared address.

The following is the full report of
Secretary Fred H. Lemon:

In making a report for the year
1903-4, it is not necessary to give a re-
view of the work of the year, as the pub-
lished proceedings for 1903 show the re-
sults which have been accomplished. The
delay in placing this publication in the
hands of the members is greatly regret-
ted by the secretary, and can only be
explained by the lack of a realization of
the immense amount of work and time
required to prepare the Elmer D. Smith
variety lists for the printer and a con-
sequent delay in beginning the work.

The publication of the proceedings for
1903 will cost the society a considerable
sum. The income of the society for the
year, as will be seen by the treasurer's
report, wiU not nearly equal this outlay.
At the convention in November, 1903,
the secretary, realizing that such would
be the case, asked for instructions regard-
ing the extent of the publication and re-
ceived orders to "make it as complete
as possible." Now, it is certain that
the society cannot go on spending more
each year than it receives. The income
resulting from the exhibition of seedlings
before committees is much less than in
former years and for some unknown rea-
son the secretary finds it very difficult to
persuade the members to pay their dues
promptly. Three appeals have been sent
out during the year and yet there are
ninety-one members delinquent. Even if
all dues had been paid, the income would
still be too small to cover this year's ex-
penses. It will be understood, of course,
that this publication has cost more than
the proceedings will cost in the future
on account of the variety lists. A.
things considered, the secretary strongly
recommends that the dues be increased to
$2 per year, payable in advance, as sug-
gested by Mr. C. W. Johnson.

Further, tue society should pass a reso-
lution instructing the secretary to mail
the society's valuable publications only
to members whoSe dues are paid. A
genuine effort on the part of the mem-
bers to get their neighbors to join would
certainly increase the membership list.

For some reason unknown to the writ-
er there has been a great falling off in

the demand for the society's certificates
during the past few years. It is a pe-
culiar fact that not one of the wonderful
Wells-Pockett set of novelties for last
year was set up before the committees.
Since one of the five "objects" given as
reasons for the organization of the C.
S. A. is * ' to stimulate the growing and
introduction of improved varieties in
every legitimate way, ' ' the society ought
to inquire into the reason for this condi-
tion and endeavor to correct it. If the
society could see its way clear to offer
a medal to the firm receiving the greatest
number of certificates in a year exhibit-
ing before the committees would be stim-
ulated.

A proper revision of scales is also of
the greatest importance. In this con-
nection the secretary desires to state that
the use of the new scales for this fall's
judging was favored by every member
of the executive committee except one,
and as a consequence the scales were put
into use, mainly for the purpose of test-
ing their efiiciency.

The most important work before this
convention must be the consideration of
plans to increase the society's income or
reduce expenses.

The treasurer, John N. May, gave his
financial report, showing a small bal-
ance. In regard to the dues he recom-
mended $2 a year and said that if a
sn'.aller amount was adopted no more re-
ports need be expected. The society to
exist must have funds to support it. It
was unanimously decided that tho dues
be made $2.

A discussion arose as to whether mon-
ey prizes or cups were the more desir-
able. C. H. Totty, J. T. Scott and F.
K. Pierson approved of cups. It was
voted to continue cups and to offer one
next year for ten blooms of one vaiiety.
It was voted that district vice-presidents
be appointed by the president. It was
voted that the president have power to
appoint a committee of five to take
charge of the exhibits annually.

The committee on the revision ot the
scale of points for judging exhibition
and commercial blooms, E. A. Woo(i, E.
1 >. Smith and E. G. Hill, gave their re-
port as follows:

Aflpr lengthy dellberution and porrespondence

ers, we recommend the adoption of the follow-
ing scHles:

Size lO Slw as

Your comniittee has found that it la the con-
genaus of opinion that a good commercial vari-
ety must be a well balanced form ia all the
easontiul parts and have endeavored to average
the scale, ao that a variety being exceedingly
strong In one or two parts and weak in balance
could not score the necessary number of points
and have not given any one requisite a large
number of points, but all agree that In our ex-
hlblticn blooms the bloom itself Is the one
thing to be Judged and that size is the principal
factor and have so arranged the scale to bring
out this as the most prominent feature.

We further recommend that the various com-
mittees use the scale in all their judgments,
for that is the only way to know whether our
scales are right or wrong and dispense Justice
to exhibitors.

The discussion on the adoption of the
scale was opened by E. A. Wood, who
said blooms were scaled too much alike,
therefore it seemed needless to have two
scales. The committee did not know
what distinctiveness meant. If it had
been used many sorts would never have
passed the (committees. Such a fine vari-
ety as Colonel Appleton diu not score
or distinctiveness. A bloom to pass com-
mercially must be solid, have great sub-
stance, stiff stem and foliage up to
flower. As regards exhibition blooms
there is a considerable demand for these
large, showy sorts which may not have
a stem as stiff as a crow-bar. Size was
absolutely necessary. Depth Is size,
some would say, breadth was suggested.
They would be criticised for favoring
wide, flat flowers. One half of the
points, fifty, are in reality for size.

Mr. Totty thought too much was given
to mere size. The short vase classes, he
considered very useful. His idea would
bf to cut down the points given to size
and add to color. In the opinion of
the New York committee size should be
twenty, color twenty, stem ten, foliage
ten, depth fifteen, the balance going to
fidlness and form.

Mr. Wood said some considered color
too low. The C. S. A. idea is to judge
a seedling for a certificate and not for
an exhibition. E. D. Smith said color
junounted to nothing, as catalogues tell
it all accurately and considered color
should be a small factor. A. McLellan
thought points for size too high, the
scale set too much for commercial flow-
ers. Smaller flowers with good stem and
foliage should receive more considera-
tion.

Janirs Wheeler considered distinct
types necessary. He would advocate tak-
ing away ten points from size in exhibi-
tiem blooms and giving five each to stem
and foliage. Mr. Duckham approved of
Ml. Wheeler's suggestion. Mr. Herring-
ton said anything to be distinctive must
be new. Term was too indefinite. It

would be a gain to leave out the term
distinctiveness altogether, as recomuiend-
ed by the committee.

Mr. Wheeler made a motion in lino
with his suggestions and it was unani-
mously carried. The new scales on ex-
hibition flowers therefore now stand:
Color, 10; foliage, 10; form, 15; size,
25; stem, 10; fullness, 15; depth, 15.

For the next meeting invitations were
read from the Pennsylvania Horticul-
tural Society, from the Indiana Floral
Festival Association and from the Amer-
ican Institute of New York. William
Nicholson moved and C. H. Totly sec-
onded a motion to accept the invitation
to meet in Philadelphia in 1905. This
was carried unanimously.

The election of officers was next pro-
ceeded with. II. Dailledouze movrd and
Wm. Nicholson seconded the nomination
of "Wiliam H. Duckham for the popt. No
other candidate being named, Mr. Duck-
ham was unanimously elected amid
warm applause. Mr. Duckham brief-
ly and feelingly thanked the mem-
bers for the honor done him. He felt
ere coming there that he would refuse
any post tendered him. He had, how-
ever, changed his mind and would accent
the office. He wanted to see the sncietv
grow faster and with the kinfl aid ard
consideration of the members he would
endeavor to further that end and main-
tain its honor and dignity.

For vice-president James Wheeler, nf
Brookline, was nominaten by W. A.
Riggs and seconded by W. N. f'raig.
Mr. Wheeler was unanimously elected
and thanked the members for the honor
done him. John N. May, the alwavs
faithful treasurer, was unanimously re-
elected. A. J. Loveless and F. H. Lemon
were nominated for secretary, Mr. Lemon
being elected.

A large number of new members were
elected to membership and the meetirg
was full of encouragement.

The Banquet.

The banquet tendered to the visiting
members of the C. S. A. was held at the
Copley Square Hotel, on Friday even-
ing, November 4. Over 100 guesis were
present, including a number of ladies.
The tables were decorated with llowers
and Asparagus pluniosus furnished by
Welch Bros., W. Nicholson, Waban Con-

and others. An efficient orchestra fur-
nished music.

President J. A. Pettigrew, of the Gar-
deners' and Florists' Club, presided and
called On President Herrington for an
address. Mr. Herrington said in part:
"On behalf of the C. S. A. I know I
am expressing a sentiment in all our
members' hearts when I thank you from
th(! bottom of my heart for your wel-
come and entertainment. We are defi-
cient in numbers to what we ought to
be, but we are certainly not deficient in
enthusiasm. We have had a somewhat
trying ordeal during our existence, but
th.:, present climax seems to mark tne
turning point in our prosperity and ef-
ficacy as a national society. ' '

Judge Hoitt, of Nashua, N. H., was
introduced as toast-master by President
Pettigrew. The judge in this capacity
proved himself inimitable and created
gn at amusement by his numerous sallies
and anecdotes. He introduced as the
first speaker, Mr. Jerome Jones, who
made a felicitous speech.

John N. May was enthusiastically ap
plauded on rising to speak. "In spite
of all criticisms, chrysanthemums have
made a wonderful advance in the last
decade and would make a still greater
one in the succeeding ten years. If only
the C. S. A. could get the roll of mem-
bers needed, it could then do something
creditable. The compilation of every
variety ever raised in America now
ready for distribution to members was
worth more than the price of member-
ship."

F, B. Pierson said he was always glad
to come to his native city and felt the
iiiterests of his business demanded at
least four trips a year to the shows to
keep abreast of the times. E. A. Wood
sang with telling etfect, "Jingle Bells, "
the other members joining in the chorus.

After a few remarks from E. Jenk-
ins, of Lenox, Alexander Wallace, of
New York, was called upon, made a fe-
licitous speech and also sang. John K.
yi. L. Farquhar spoke of the work be-
ing done and still to be carried out by
the new management of the Massachu-
setts Horticultural Society. W. N. Craig
was called upon and furnished a humor-
ous recitation, W. J. Stewart spoke for
the ladies. Messrs. J. B. Shea and Mor-
ton made a few remarks after which
Judge Hoitt called on Jackson Dawson
as the last speaker. After a fe-iv pre-
liminary remarks, Mr. Dawson treated
the audience to a fine rendition of an
oM English song, followed by "Auld
I.ang Syne. ' '

Convention Jottings.

William H. Duckham, the newly elected
presideTit of the C. S. A., is a modest,
unassuming gentleman. His name is
in every grower's mouth this year, just
as his good wife's will be a year hence.
As a grower of specimen blooms Mr.
Duckham is without a peer.

.Tamts Wheeler, the new vice president
of the C. S. A., has been a member of
the C. S. A, seedling committee in Bos-
ton for some years. He has raised quite
a number of frood seedlings, one of the
best being .1. H. White, for years
classed as one of the best whites. He is
an indefatigable worker on all horti-
cultural lines and wi'l prove a worthy
11. utenant for Mr. Duckham.

The Wells-Pockett set in charge of
('. H. Totty was the most scrutinized by
the growers. Mr. Totty should sell a
large quantity of these novelties. Some
are better than anything on the market

NOVEMBBB 10, 1904.

The two Scotts, bailing from Tarry-
town and Brooklyn, each reported fine
business for his fern. Each came in
for its measure of praise.

William Duckham's blooms were re-
minders of the grand specimens Brydon,
Montgomery, McKay and others used to
stage. Let all young growers wake
up and recover their lost laurels.

W. A. Bigg's blooms were the best
grown in this section and show what su-
perb flowers can be produced in boxes.

A great many visitors admired the
pompons, singles and anemones much
more than the big blooms. On private
estates the tendency in Massachusetts is
toward medium flowers. The craze for
mammoth blooms is subsiding and this
must effect future shows to some ex-
tent.

Visitors.

Among the visitors to the chrysanthe-
mum show were E. Jenkins, Carlquist,

THE BOSTON EXHIBITION.

Viewed as a picture, the Boston show
stays in my memory as a pleasant dream,
the main hall where the plants and groups
were staged being very attractive. While
the specimen plants were said to be
smaller than in some previous years, they
were perfectly finished and of a quality
that cannot be seen anywhere else in the
country. The brick walls of the building
were hidden by elaborate decorations of
greenery which improved its appearance
very much and contributed greatly to the
general effect.

The chief interest for me centered in

the chrysanthemum cut flower exhibits
and, though one might wish that the en-
tries in the special classes offered by the
C. S. A. had been more numerous, the
quality of the flowers set up in those
classes left nothing to be desired. W.
Duckham won almost everything in sight,
capturing the C. S. A. silver cup with
Mrs. W. Duckham, which is more fully
described elsewhere; the Totty prize for
twelve W. Duckhams; the E. G. Hill
prize for twenty- four flowers; the C. S. A.
prize for twenty-four flowers; the Wells
gold medal and the Herrington prize for
six flowers, any color, Thomas W. Head
running second in several classes. These
flowers were the largest in the exhibition
and were much admired. W. Wells sent
over from England some fifty flowers of
new varieties, Merstham Yellow, Mrs. W.
Duckham, J. H. Doyle, Mrs. A. J. Miller,
Merstham Crimson and others showing up
finely. These flowers were cut, most of
them, on October 17 and some had al-
ready formed part of a gold medal ex-
hibit in London before being packed up
and sent to this country. That the flow-
ers were still in better condition than
some flowers grown within twenty miles
of Boston was looked on as wonderful
and it is a tribute to the enterprise of
Mr. Wells and the excellence of present
day transpo'i-tation facilities. This ex-
hibit was deservedly awarded a gold
medal.

The other cut flower classes were much
better filled by the local growers, the big
vase exhibits showing the highest quality.
The carnation classes were well filled
and the quality of the flowers wonderful
for so earty in the season. In the same
hall with the carnations was an orchid
exhibit from the Ames estate (W. N.
(iraig, gardener), that could hardly be
duplicated in the country.

Special mention may be made of ex-
hibits of the Scottii fern, the new Pierson
fern and a vase of Nicotiana Sanderae
from Sander & Son, of St. Albans, Eng-
land. It was the first time the latter
novelty had been exhibited in this coun-
try, and it was awarded a silver medal.

At the business meeting of the C. S. A.
there were about a hundred present, when
President Herrington called the meeting
to order. The principal new business was
the final adoption of the scale of points
for judging seedlings. The commercial
scjile was adopted as handed in by the
committee, but the exhibition scale was
revised somewhat. Some twenty-four new
members wrre accepted and I see no rea-
son why the C. S. A. should not move
onward and upward at a rapid rate.

= -- .. ^

The banquet given in honor of the C.
8. A.'s visit was one of the most enjoy-
able things I ever attended and too much
praise cannot be given to the committee
in charge of the affair. Judge Huitt as
toastmaster cannot be equalled and he
can bring down the house whenever he
wishes. The time passed all too quickly
and I wish to place myself on record as
publicly thanking the members of the
craft in Boston for their uniform kind-
ness and courtesy to the visiting delega-
tions. Charles H. Tottt.

WM. DUCKHAM,

When the king was la a devil of a fix,

He was wont to send for a Devon, maw Sir.

So run the words of an old English
song and while the C. S. A., is not iu any
kind of a fix, it has sent for a Devon-
shire man as its executive head for the
next year, Mr. Duckham hailing from that
smiling county of large cheeses and
clotted cream.

It need not be inferred, however, that
because he was born in a pastoral com-
munity that the new president is any-
thing of a farmer. He has often proved
his ability to travel in any kind of com-
pany and when it comes to lifting prizes
in a mum competition, he is easily the
champion of the heavyweights. He could
easily afford to give Sir Thomas Lipton
half a dozen silver cups and have some
left to grace his sideboard as testimoni-
ai,^ to his cultural skill.

It was a case of the office seeking the
man, for Mr. Duckham is not the kind
that goes looking for anything, modesty
being his chief characteristic, but that
hL- will fill the chair to the satisfaction
of everyone, no one who knows him can
for a moment doubt.

Mr. Duckham is not only a chrysanthe-
mum expert but an all-round grower,
earnations, orchids, palms, stove plants
and in fact, almost everything he grows
siiowing the touch of the master hand.
The estate of D. Willis James, of Madi-
son, N. J., of which he is the superin-
tendent, is one of the best known places
ill the east, and it has grown into being
under his personal care and supervision.
He is of uncertain age, being not nearly
so old as he looks, his careworn expres-
sion (?) being due to hard study, try-
ing to beat his own record in growing
big mums every year. He is a good
shot, a first-class bowler and his popular-
ity in the community where he resides
was well expressed in a local newspaper
tht other day when it referred to him as
"our esteemed fellow townsman.''

THE PHILADELPHIA SHOW.

The fall exhibition of the Pennsyl-
vania Horticultural Society opened on
Tuesday evening, November 8, and was
as large and handsome as any display
ever held in that city. The general
feeling was that the cut blooms of
chrysanthemums were finer than those
shown in previous years, while tlie plants
were, as a rule, remarkably well grown.
The quantity of cut flowers of chrysan-
themums was so great that besides dec-
orating the stairway with the usual free-
dom, a large overflow was staged in the
lower hall, driving the vegetables, of
which there were, luckily, not very many,
almost to the rear entrance.

The main stairway was bordered its
entire length by vases of handsome speci-
men blooms, divided in the center, at the
first landing, by a group of well grown
geraniums. The center of the main hall
was devoted to a Japanese garden en-
closed by a rustic fence, the posts sur-
mounted by bark baskets filled with
pompons, contrasting prettily with the
larger flowers with which the garden was
filled. Colored -Japanese lanterns over-
head lit up the scene beautifully. This
bit of decorative work was in Wm. Gra-
ham's best style.

The chrysanthemum plants, which filled
most of the hall, were well arranged
and of excellent quality, the very few
poor ones serving to bring out the good
points of the others. The specimens in
14-inch pots and the 6-inch grown to
one flower were especially fine. Gordon
Smirl, gardener to J. F. Sinnot, Rose-
mont, showed a great number of blue
ribbon winners.

The stage was devoted to an interest-
ing collection of rare foliage plants
shown by Henry A. Dreer, Riverton.
Against the walls were groups of foliage
plants containing many fine specimens,
some much too crowded for best effect.
A group of ten crotons in ten varieties
were well grown and superbly colored.

Julius Roehrs, Rutherford, N. J., was
first with a handsome collection of com-
mercial orchids in bloom. Lager & Hur-
rell, Summit, N. J., were second. Mr.
Roehrs also showed a grand specimen
Cattleya labiata with twenty-nine blooms.

The cut chrysanthemums were wonders.
The twelve blooms in twelve varieties
with which F. Ibbotaon won the blue rib-
bon, were warmly praised as being the
finest ever seen here. His varieties were
Merza, white ; Queen Alexandria, bronze ;
J. Falconer, yellow; T. Carrington, red;
F, A. Cobbold, pink; Nellie Pockett,
white; Leila Filkins, pink; F. S. Vallis,
yellow; W. R. Church, red and gold;
M. Inglis, yellow; W. Duckham, pink;
Ben Wells, white. There were many
other exhibits of ehoice blooms.

The foyer was filled with a well-
grown lot of foliage plants and some
specimen dracscnas in variety were espe-
cially noteworthy. Down stairs a table or
more of pompons were effectively ar-
ranged. A half-dozen full-grown pots of
tiny blooms surmounted by an immense
cut bloom of the modem Japanese type
marked the evolution. Henry F. Michell
Co. had a clever device showing mush-
rooms growing in a bed for which their
spawn had been used. The evergreens
and autumn leaves decorated the lobby.

RED BANK, N. J.

The seventh annual exhibition of the
Monmouth County Horticultural Society
was held in the Town Hall at Red Bank,
N. J., November 1 and 2. It was, artis-
tically and financially, the greatest suc-
cess this society ever had. The blooms
were at their best and of immense size.
The judges remarked that they were the
best blooms they ever judged and as gooa
as they think will be staged this year.
A feature of this show is to have the
high school scholars admitted free, accom-
panied by their teachers, and we thin»
this is about the best advertisement an
exhibition can have. The large hall was
not sufficient to hold all the exhibits, bo
the audience room down stairs was like-
wise filled. On the second day we had
some celebrated visitors, including Statt
Senator Francis, U. S. Senator Keane and
the Republican candidate for Governor,
who was presented with a bouquet.

In groups of chrysanthemums H. Mc-
Carron, gardener for W. F. Havemeyer,
received first prize, H. A. Williams, gar-
dener for Selmar Hess, and N. Butter-
bach, gardener for C. N. Bliss, equal sec-
ond prizes. For best three specimen bush
"slants, H. A. Williams was first, and H.
A. Kettel, gardener for James Loeb. sec-
ond. For one specimen bush plant H. A.
Xettel was first and H. A. Williams sec-
ond. For six specimen bush plants anem-
"»ne varieties, H. A. Kettel was first and
^T. H. Hale, gardener for E. D.
Adams, second. For group of or-
namental foliage plants arranged

for effect Mr. Butterbach was
first and H. A. Kettel second. For speci-
men palm Mr. Kettel was first, Mr. But-
terbach second. For specimen foliage
plant not palm Mr. Hale was first and
Mr. Butterbach second. For six single
sj^>ecimen plants suitable for dinner table
decoration Mr. Hale first and Mr. Kettle
second. For six specimen ferns Mr. Wil-
liams was first and Mr. Butterbach sec-
ond, the awards for specimen fern being
in the same order.

On cut blooms Wm. Turner, gardenei
for M. C. D. Borden was first for thirty-
six blooms in six varieties, for twenty-
five blooms in distinct varieties, for
white, yellow, pink, crimson and "any
other color ' ' in the classes for six
blooms. G. H. Hale was first for twenty-
five blooms arranged for effect, for six
Carnot, for six bronze, and second on
several others. N. Butterbach was first
for twelve blooms in twelve varieties.

Mr, Hale was first on tweleve Beau-
ties, Mr. Butterbach second; on twelve
Brides Mr. Butterbach was first, Mr.
Kettle second. On Maids Mr. Tierney
was first, Mr. Butterbach second. On
"any other" Mr. Hale was first, Mr.
Butterbach second.

On vases of twelve carnations Wm. Tur-
ner was first on white, pink, red and
crimson. On "any other," Mr. Logan
was first.

On violets Geo. Suhn was first for
both single and double, "Wm. Dowlen
being second for the former and Oliver
Mcintosh for the latter.

There was a fine showing of fruits
and vegetables.

The judges were C. H. Totty, Peter
Ihiflf and Wm. Bartholmae.

There was bowling both days of the

THE TARRYTOWN SHOW

The sixth annual exhibition of the
Tarrytown Horticultural Society was
held in Music Hall November 1 to 3, and
was quite up to the usual high standard
for which the shows held under the
auspices of this progressive society are
already far-famed. The one great draw-
back in Tarrytown is that the largest hall
is too small. Several of the visitors re-
marked that there was a falling off in
the number of plants exhibited but a
number of these were purposely left at
home by the members so as to allow more
room for the cut blooms.

The principal exhibitors in plants were
Samuel Untermyer, Yonkers, John
Featherstone, gardener; Mrs. Geo. Lewis,
James Ballantyne, gardener, and Mrs. J.
B. Trevor, Yonkers, Howard Nichols,
gardener. Plants of special note were
Mr. Untermyer 'A Pritchardia grandis and
Pandanus Sanderiana, Mrs. Trevor's
Goniophlebium subauriculatum and Adi-
antum Farleyense and Mrs. Lewis' Mar-
anta Zebrina. A very fine specimen of
Begonia Gloire de Lorraine measuring
nearly four feet through came from
Mrs. Ogden Codlnan, David McFarlane,
gardener.

Among the commercial exhibitors were
F. R. Pierson Co., of Tarrytown; John
N. May, Summit, N. J. ; John M. Hunter,
Edgewarter, N. J.; the Swan Peterson
Floral Co., of Gibson City, 111.; Thomas
Barson, Johnstown, N. Y., and Samuel
Grigg, of Pittsfield, Mass. The F. B.

Pierson Co. showed a group of pahaos,
foliage plants, ferns and chrysantha-
mums. Among the latter two seedlings.
No. 1, yellow, and No. 2, pink, showed
up well. F. A. Cobbold, Leila Filkins,
Dr. Enguehard and Donald McLeod
were also shown in good form. They were
awarded the society's silver medal for
Nephrolepis elegantissima. John N.
May staged Carnation Phyllis, a new
pink of the Enchantress type. This is
a large, full flower of good form and
claimed to be an ideal grower. John
M. Hunter staged a lot of seedling chry-
santhemums, all single and semi-double.
They showed a fine range of coloring and
look like a class that would be very use-
ful for commercial purposes. The Swan
Peterson Co. 's exhibit was a vase of the
new carnaiion, Gibson Beauty, of the En-
chantress type. The flowers were not
so large but of fine form and the color
brighter than Enchantress. Samuel
Grigg staged a lot of novelties in chrys-
anthemums, several of which were very
promising.

Of the new varieties in chrysanthe-
mums among the best were Maynell, Mrs.
S. T. Wright and Henry Barnes in crim-
son; Wm. Duckham, Leila Filkins and
Janet Lady Clark in pink; F. S. Vallis,
Gen. Hutton and Donald McLeod in
yellow. In white there was nothing to
beat the older varieties, such as Merza,
Mrs. Weeks, Mme. Carnot and Nellie
Pockctt, which were all well shown.

number of exhibits from out of town
and many trade visitors, particularly on
the closing day.

Poehlmann Bros., Chicago, were first
for twenty-five Beauties, Liberty, Golden
Gate and Maid and second for Bride and
"any other." Weiland & Bisch were
second for Maid and third for Bride.
The Chicago Carnation Company was first
for Bride and "any other," second for
Beauty, Peter Keinberg being third. Rob-
ert Klagge was third for "any other."
The Carnation company was first for bas-
ket of roses and vase of mums, also for
best palm, araucaria, dracaena, Boston
fern, other fern and flowering plant other
than mums. Vaughan was first on ber-
ried plant, also on chrysanthemum plants,
Buehler second. Among the exhibitors of
made-up work were J. M. Smely, Aurora ;
Schiller, H. C. Rowe and P. J. Haus-
wirth. There was a large display of car-
nations, W. C. Hill, of Streator, showing
Melody, a sport from Lawson.

PITTSBURG CLUB SHOW.

November 1 was club night at Pitts-
burg. The subject for dissussion was
the chrysanthemum and we had a royal
show of these. The members turned out
in great force. Every seat in the hall
was taken and several men were stand-
ing. Although the meeting began
promptly at 8 o'clock not a man left
his chair until 10:30, it was so ab-
sorbingly interesting.

A. Herrington, president of the Chry-
santhemum Society of America, Madi-
son, N. J., sent a box of fine blooms of
the newer varieties that elicited much
admiration. Nathan Smith & Son, of
Adrian, Mich., sent a lot of good new
varieties and their fine seedlings of last
year. And our never failing frienas R.
Vincent, Jr., & Son, White Marsh, Md.,
loaded us with sheaves of pompon love-
liness. William K, Harris, of Philadel-
phia, sent us fine flowers of his own
private varieties and some standard sorts.
This is the letter Mr. Harris sent with
his flowers:

The varieties originated by na and not to be
disseminated are Grace, Elizabeth Harris, Flor-
ence Harris and Wm. McKlnley, the balance
are old and popular varieties. The blooms are
not selected for size, but they arc the average
run of our stock. We grow three flowers to the
plant and plant them on our benches 8x10 Inches
apart. When we stake our plants and give
them our first tying up we cut out aU the weak
shoots but four. Then when giving the second
tying we again cut out from each plant the
weakest shoot, leaving three heavy, uniform
shoots to each plnnt. This method gives you a
heavy cut and the crop comes very uniform
In size of blooms and even in blooming. Great
care must be exercised at all times in the
watering when they are planted so thickly,
otherwise the foliage will be most apt to rot
and in this event be of little value. We think
It most Important to disbud at the earliest
possible moment.

We never feed our plants with either liquid
fertilizers or mulch, but depend on a rich com-
post from the start. Our beds of soil run from
two Inches to three Inches deep. Thus, having
shallow beds, we have the conditions of the
soil and drainage in regard to watering always
under control.

Our idea is to have our varieties different
from the general run; then if such varieties as
we control exclusively are wanted, they must
be served by us. This gives us an easier
market and not so much competition in price.

The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. brought
over a splendid showing of blooms and
the Florists' Exchange wholesale house
and Julius Ludwig contributed liberally
to the display, Mr. Zimmermann, of
Dixmont; the Valley Greenhouses, Leet-
dsle; Blind Brothers, West View, and O.
Godwin & Sons, Bridgeville, brought in
freely of their product. Thos. Jenkin-
son, gardener to A. R. Peacock, was a
new exhibitor among us. He brought in
about thirty varieties of enormous propor-
tions with stems four feet long, stiff

as a walking stick and with leathery
leaves to the neck. Then came John
Jones, of the Phipps Conservatories, with
faultless blooms of gigantic size and s^e
potted plants to show how he had grown
them. Among his blooms was a Vallis
fourteen inches in diameter. It waS
the largest flower in the hall. All bis
plants are grown in pots and nearly all
are single-stemmed. Every plant must
have perfect foliage from the pot up
and any in the least degree deficient in
this respect never see the conservatory.

All of the out of town flowers and
those from Mr. Peacock's place and the
parks, after doing duty at the Florists'
Club were taken by the president and ex-
hibited, a day or two after, at the meet-
ing of the Botanical Society of West-
ern Pennsylvania, thus being doubly
honored.

Several of the prominent growers gave
their methods of cultivation. Young
plants are struck and potted in early
spring and later on the tops of these are
struck. "While both strikings are used,
preference is given to the later batch.
They are stronger, stockier and less hide
bound than the other and give an evener
crop of bloom. They are planted in
beds in May, June and July, as liduses
are ready for them, in three to five
inches of soil and eight to nine inches
apart. Usually two and sometimes
three blooms are allowed to a plant.
They occupy houses emptied of bedding
plants or spring blooming stock and are
removed in time to make room for fill-
ing with carnations from pots and longi-
florum lilies or hydrangeas.

Some feed with liquid manure. Aside
from a little bone dust mixed with the ,
soil very little artificial fertilizer .iff
used. There is an impression it has a
tendency to cause the dropping of the
lower leaves. In potting, John Jones
doesn't fill his flowering pots quite full,
but when the soil becomes well filled with
roots he fills them up with rich compost
containing a goodly quantity of pulver-
ized sheep manure and a sprinkling of
bone fiour; later he waters freely with
sheep manure liquid. Beware* of over-
feeding; defoliated and cankered-looking
plants are often the result. Mr. Jones
believes in firm potting. For pot plants
cane stakes are used, but for bench plants
Fred Burki runs string lengthwise and
uses a wire stake to each plant, fastening
it to the overhead string.

For black fly fumigating once a week
with tobacco stems and a liberal use of
fresh stems about the floors and under
the benches is practiced, also freely dust-
ing the tips of the shoots with tobacco
powder. The parks use tobacco paper
for fumigating, letting it smoulder for
hours, but Fred Burki says this is too
expensive for commercial purposes.

Our next meeting will be on Tuesday
evening, December 6 and it is to be a
smoker. E. C. Beineman and Gus Lud-
wig have been appointed a committee with
full power to get it up, so if any of our
florist or gardener friends throughout
the country happen this way about that
time, just drop in to see us. Guess you
won't be soriy. Prex.

WORLDS FAIR AWARDS.

The individual nature of the informa-
tion which has come to hand with regard
to the World's Fair awards in the De-
partments of Horticulture and Agricul-
ture prompted a request on the manage-
ment for a complete and official list of
the awards. The following is the reply
of Chief F. W. Taylor, dated Novem-
ber 3:

"Replying to your letter, I have been very
much disturbed at the way in which the givlug
out of awards information has been handled, but
It has seemed impossible to do it in any other
w^%y. A,8 a matter of fact, it now stands so
that I am under orders not to give out Informa-
tion as definite until some questions pending be-
tween the national commission and the manage-
ment are settled. I regret more than I can tell
you this condition and will be glad .to give you
information as soon as possible."

ROSES.

Watering;.

One of the most essential requirements
of a rose grower, or, indeed, of a grower
of any kind of stock under glass, is a
thorough knowledge of the art of water-
ing. To a lack of this knowledge may
be ascribed many of the failures in
rose and carnation growing. The art
can only be acquired by long practice,
keen observation of the wants of the
plants, deliberative and careful adjudi-
cation of attending conditions, accom-
panied by a knowledge of the real service
that water performs in supplying the
plants with food. That plants require
water, every man employed in a green-
house knows, but the reason why is often
beyond their reach. Unfortunately there
;ire among the craft a large number who

are content to be copyists, and either
deluge or withhold, according to copy,
without using their own judgment in the
matter. i , ^i

A year or two ago Mr. Scott gave a
most practical and scholarly article on
this very subject, but, as the ordinary
reader is so prone to lorgetfulness, I do
not think I am treading on William's
patch if I remind my particular readers
of the importance of attention to this
particular study.

With the shorter duration of sunshine
and less intensity of heat there will be
a corresponding decrease in evaporation,
and, as evaporation means increased root
activity, there will of necessity be less
and less need of water as the days
shorten and the hours of sunshine con-
tinue to diminish.

The supply of water necessary to
transform the ingredients of the soil or
mulch into an assimilable food for the
plants when root activity is at its lowest /
ebb should be carefully considered and
the grower who safeguards himself
against over- watering at this season will
reap the full benefit in future crops.

After mulching, especially where the
pipes are under the benches and close
to the roots, there is great danger that
without a careful inspection every day,
as the mulch absorbs and retains the
moisture, the bench will have the appear-
ance of being moist enough, when in
reality the soil may be quite dry at the
bottom. This state of matters will re-
tard crops, weaken the plants, causing
a loss of foliage, abnormal buds and
make them susceptible to any or all trou-
bles in the list.

The soil should always be moist enough
dear through so that by a gentle squeeze
of the hand all the particles may adhere
and not crumble. Even a little wetter
than this, if the temperature and other
conditions are right, is desirable and
will greatly aid the plants in furnishing
good foliage, strong flower stems and
put them into condition to utilize any
stimulant or chemical food of which they
may stand in need. RiBES.

TIME TO FEED.

Please explain your meaning as to
using liquid manure when the crops are
in the right condition. Rose crops seem
to come on and off every six weeks or
so. If the roses are to be watered at

certain stages of the crop, when and how
often should we do it?

A big grower, speaking of feeding
solid manure during December and Janu-
ary, said it does not do to cut and feed
heavily at the same time. Is it gener-
ally customary to feed very little when
the heaWest cutting is being done?

R. M. S.

The time when roses enjoy liquid feed-
ing is during the period of growth, be-
tween the time the young stems have
attained a length of five or Fix inches
and the time the buds show color. Feed-
ing when the crops are fit to cut has a
tendency to injure the keeping qualities
of the blooms and will certainly destroy
the color of such varieties as Bridesmaid,
Chatenay and Beauty. Ribes.

The Chrysanthemuni.

Two more weeks and the fascinating
mum will have again passed its prime.
Bench room will be plentiful and our
("hristmas plants will engage our most
earnest thoughts. I can't help but di-
gress a moment to speak of the thrill
of pleasure with which we admire a bench
of Maud Dean or Appleton, or perhaps
we are progressive enough for it to be a
batch of Wm. Duckham or F. S. Vallis.
If so, the joy would be still more ex-
alted. Then comes the reaper in the
shape of sharp knife and a desolate scene
follows.

Unlike our rosea, carnations or violets,
this is no cut and come again crop, and
gorgeous and magnificent as are the
modern chrysanuumums, it is exactly
right that it should be just as it is. If
we had them with us more than a few
weeks they would not be wanted at all.
They leave us not surfeited, but with re-
gret at their flight, and with appetite for
another feast and resolved to acquire this
and that wonderful variety or still further
improve on our culture. It's not alone
the dollar they have brought you that
has been the pleasure. If you are a
bom gardener your achievement in pro-
ducing the grand blossoms and pure love
of your plants and flowers will be the
mainspring of your future efforts.

Nothing in chrysanthemum lore can
be better written, more practical or up-
to-date than the notes of ' ' Brian Boru. ' '
Everybody who knows the man knows
that he knows most thoroughly what he
is talking about, and he will excuse me
if I drop a hint for the benefit of friends
and relatives near home.

I notice too frequently that the chry-
santhemum plants that are saved for
stock are treated as if it were a tropical
plant. r have in one instance seen flats
of these old stubs freshly lifted from
the bench and placed a few inches above
a coil of 4-inch pipes. This is barbar-
ous! Can you expect healthy, vigorous
cuttings under such conditions? Don't
you realize that the chrysanthemum is
almost a hardy plant? The pompons are
quite hardy.

After flowering the plant should rest
and be dormant. Therefore a tempera-

ture a few degrees above freezing or, say
40 degrees F., and light is what .they
want. If this rest is given them until the
end of February you will get more and

better cuttings after you do start them
up.

This is meant, of course, for those who
have plenty of old plants for stock. For
tliose who may have but one plant of a
valuable variety and wish to increase as
largely as possible, "B. B. " will tell
you how to do it, but that is another
story.

Berried Plants.

Berried plants are, with many, nothing
but the species and varieties of solanuro.
Although delighting in our hot summers,
they are now in fruit and nearly all
plants like a lower temperature when in
fruit than when in flower. At night
50 degrees will suit them all, with the
fullest light, and syringe frequently to
keep down spider and thrips.

Ardisia crenulata in moderate-sized,
compact plants is the handsomest of all
berried plants, either as a single plant
or in the basket of mixed plants, so
fashionable where the wealthy do con-
gregate. A temperature of 50 degrees
is plenty high enough and its chief enemy
is the brown scale, which should be re-
moved by a syringing with nicotine solu-
tion.

Poinsettias.

It is now weeks past the time when you
can with safety disturb the roots of
these tropical plants. If you neglected to
shift them, say from a 4-inch to a 6-

Peter Fisher's New White Seedling Carnation.

inch, don't do it now or you will lose
the foliage, even with the greatest care.
Rather, feed them with liquid manure.
If you did not make up pans enough,
don 't do it now. Take care of the little
plants in 3-inch or 4-inch pots and put
them in the pans or azalea pots a day
or so before you expect to sell them.
There is no fraud in this, but if you
disturb the roots at this date ever so
slightly you will have no foliage at
Christmas, and without its setting of
tropical foliage the poinsettia is a mock-
ery.

From now on, the greatest enemy of
this plant, the dirty mealy bug, will make
its appearance. You may have no other
plant infested, yet among the nectar cups
and true flowers of tne poinsettias this
pest will appear. If you have thoroughly
sprayed the crown of each plant they
may have been kept away. A spraying
of some nicotine solution occasionally
would also have kept them away, but
if tlie bracts are partly developed and
the bugs have once a good lodgment
among the flowers it will pay to take
each plant and, while one man holds the
plant, another with a sharp, fine stream
from the hose, thoroughly rid tlum of
their enemy. One good cleaning in this
way will usually suffice and to spray them
on the bench with any good results is al-
most impossible.

The writer has often remarked that the
loss of foliage is more often due to star-
vation of root than a low temperature.
Wlieii in pots they often are starved and
exhausted; planted on a bench for cut-
ting, seldom. About 60 degrees at night
is high enough and on a bench with
active, root growth I have seen them keep
most vigorous with 55 degrees at night.

Azaleas.

The importations are uni)acked and
seem to have crossed the briny ocean
safely and arrived in fine condition.
Don 't delay a day in getting the few
varieties into heat that are wanted for
(Miristmas. Be sure that water enough
is given at the root at all times to keep
the- ball of roots moist. The fresh soil
you used around the ball of roots ;nid on
the surface may appear moist when the
roots are not. Look carefully for this
and with these e^arly force<l plants err
on tlie side of moisture. Spray twice
a day until the flowers are showing color.
Direct sunlight is not so essential, but
they should have light. You must be
guided by the earliness of the bloom as
to heat. Some individual plants of the

same variety, even the precocious
Deutsche Perle, will need more heat than
others. About 60 degrees now will do
aiid increase another 5 degrees later on
if needed.

The summeretl-over plants and the new-
ly imported plants that are not wanted
until Easter you can keep but a little
above freezing, if you have the means
to elo so. Remember the lateness of
Easter and how difficult it will be to
keep many of the finest varieties for
that late date. A house with a north-
ern aspect and a very low temperature is
the place for them to winter, particular-
ly this winter.

Cyclamen.

The critical time with cyclamen is past
and the earliest are sending up flowers.
From 50 to 55 degrees at night is the
temperature. Spray the foliage lightly
every fine morning. The lightest bench
you have will now suit them. I still
think it pays well to spreail three or four
inches of tobacco stems between the pots.
It saves much fumigating. By no means
should the foliage of the plants be
crowded. The bloom is the chief at-
traction of the cyclamen, yet the hand-
some foliage and well rounded form of
the plant counts for much. The common
green fly is very troublesome on the
cyclamen, but there is no excuse for it,
as tobacco in its many forms, Iwth as
an extract and the fumes, will keep them
down.

Two years ago we had a number of
cyclamen on a shelf at the east end of
a rose range. There was no opportunity
of spreading stems among the pots, al-
though they had been plunged in stems
all summer. The roses were fumigatetl
with the tobacco dust burned in pie
dishes (no better plan, I think) and no
aphis appeared on the cyclamen. When
this combination of dust and the dish is
once tried it will, I think, abolish many
fussy methods now in vogue.

Easter Lilies.

The earliest forced Bermuda liarrisii
are just coming in, but if they come in
plentifully after the mums are gone,
that will do. Tobacco smoke or the
fumes from the dust will easily keep the
green fly away from the buds after they
are once above the foliage, but wiien the
cluster of small buds is hidden by the
leaves it is not easy to reach the aphis
and an occasional spraying with a weak
srlution of nicotine by a Scollay sprayer
into the center of each plant will do much
good. A bright house and 60 degrees

at night will bring most of these early
lilies into flower during December and
up to New Year's, but they will stand
more forcing if necessary.

Indications of these early lilies point to
a disappearance of disease, or at least
great improvement in the health of the
bulbs. Not any more than two per cent
have yet shown the "yellow jaundice,"
or "spotted fever." William SCott.

THE POEHLMANN PLACE.

Of all the great greenhouse establish-
ments which have sprung up so
quickly in the vicinity of Chicago
none has been marked by a
greater celerity of growth than that
of the Poehlmann Bros. Co., at Morton
Grove. The way this place has grown ,
has been one of the wonders of the day.
They now have about 600,000 feet of
glass, the greater part of which has been
built during the last four or five years
and is constructed on the most modern
lines and in the very best of producing
condition. In fact it is asserted that
none of the large places of this country
produce more heavily per square foot of
bench space and in none is closer atten-
tion given to producing stock of good
quality.

The" accompanying illustration shows
seven houses 500 feet long built this year
and planted to carnations. These ore
high houses. Garland iron gutters be-
ing used, set on seven-foot cast iron
I)Osts. There are ventilators on both
sides of the ridge and sixteen-inch glass
is used. Each house contains four
benches each five feet wide and four
twenty-inch walks, the economy of space
being apparent.

Carnations were planted in this range
before the completion of the houses, as is
shown in the illustration. They are now
in very fine shape. Beauties are largely
grown, also tea roses and all the season-
able items of stock, chrysanthemums for
fall and bulbous material for spring. It
is already stated that another large
range on similar lines to the last one is
contemplated for 1905.

Birmingham, Ala.— A. Hauge has
worked up a large stock of two new vari-
eties of coleus, Wilhelm Pfitzer and Ann.i
Pfitzer. These are of last year's intro-
duction and Mr. Hauge considers them
among the best ever sent out. They are
dwarf and stand the sun and drought in
good shape. The past summer was one
of the dryest ever known in this part of
the south.

CAfiNATION NOTES.-EAST.

! Timely Preparations.

The middle of November ought to see
stock firmly established and growing vig-
orously. The flowering shoots will be
running up to fair length from now on,
requiring the last tier of supports to be
put in place. Strenuous days of some-
what monotonous work, such as the re-
moval of dead leaves, for instance, will
soon give way to routine work. Atten-
tion then can be given to that most im-
portant and not far distant task, propa-
gation.

Lay in a good supply of sand and be
particular that it is free from impurities,
such as sticks, paper and vegetable or an-
imal matter.

Store in a cool, dry place until wanted;
it will then keep sweet and can be easily
handled.

Give the propagating bench a thorough
cleaning and be liberal with the lime and
sulphur wash. If you have a house de-
voted to this work take extra pains to
have the roof tight; also provide against
drip on the benches from condensation.
This is many times the cause of loss of
valuable cuttings.

While it is not absolutely necessary to
build a bench expressly for propagation,
it is obvious that any improvement not
too expensive is not only an advantage
but a good investment. The one I will de-
scribe is inexpensive, since it can be con-
structed by any grower, and from use has
given perfect satisfaction for several
years.

The bottom and sides are brick, laid
on 2x3-inch cypress running crossways of
the bench, the narrow side up, and placed
at such distance apart that an inch of
each end of a brick bears on each cross-
piece. The bricks are laid flat, end to
end, and of course the bench can be made
any number of bricks wide that may be
desired. The sides are brick laid on edge
and cemented to the bottom and where
ends butt with Portland cement.

Such a bench, being porous, cannot be-
come Boggy. The bricks will absorb heat
from the pipes underneath and in giving
it off impart a uniform heat to the sand.
Being practically indestructible, there is
no need of repairs for years.

Instead of cypress for crosspieces, or,
in fact, any part of the frame, if desired
and circumstances permit, iron can be
substituted for wood. Another advantage
of brick is their power of absorbing the
sulphur solution present in the lime and
sulphur wash. The gentle heat from
below will liberate the fumes in some de-
gree, although perhaps imperceptible to
the smell, thus guarding against fungous
diseases.

As before stated our experience with
this form of bench leads me to highly
recommend its use to those who wish an
ideal propagating arrangement.

Some growers do not approve of bottom
heat for carnation cuttings but, like many
things, it is the abuse and not the use
that does the harm. One 's own ingenuity

will devise means for regulating bottom
heat that an excess may not occur, but
it will be found with brick that there is
less liability of great fluctuation,

Notes on the Varieties.

While it is yet too early to pass final
judgment on the new varieties sent out
last spring, yet one cannot help beginning
to compare them with the older varieties,
and with each other, when they come in
the same class or color. While making
these comparisons we must not fail to
bear in mind that in most cases these vari-
eties are handicapped to some extent, in
fact, to a great extent, by several condi-
tions which naturally work right against
their showing their very best the first
year. So we must be as charitable toward
them as possible. First of all, if you got
cuttings which were put into sand in late
February or March it would be unjust to
expect them to do as well as your own
cuttings, which were put in in January, or
even December, If the variety had a
large sale and the stock was limited the
later batches may not have had the vital-
ity which the variety originally possessed
and it will take a year or two of careful
selection to get it back to its best. And,
as I have often repeated, our own igno-
rance of its possible peculiarities may
stand in its way. Any or all of these
things may cause a fine variety to prove
disappointing to us the first year.

Perhaps the largest seller last spring
was the new scarlet, Flamingo, as great
things were expected of it. The cuttings
we received were very large and soft and
it did not make a good growth in the
field. Since it was planted inside it has
made a good, strong growth and, while
the plants are not in shape to bear quan-
tities of blooms, yet it will have a chance
to show its quality. Another season, with
cuttings of our own, it will get a better
start.

Crusader made a much better growth
and, while the color is a little light, it
looks as though it might displace Crane,
as the bloom is larger and the plant
healthier,

Marion Beauty makes a nice bloom, of
a good shade of crimson, but up to date
it does not compare with Harlowarden in
freedom.

Daheim made very small plants in the
field but is picking up rapidly. The
blooms to date are too sleepy to use but
cold weather may remedy that.

New Daybreak made some nice blooms,
of a pleasing shade of Daybreak pink.
The growth is much better than Day-
break,

Lady Bountiful looka to be all that was
claimed for it. It is a nice grower and
very free. The blooms come a little sin-
gle and flat early, but we knew that be-
fore we bought it. The crop that is com-
ing now should be of fine quality.

The Belle made better blooms earlv
and is making fine blooms now, but the
growth is not as good as Bountiful, A
good variety, nevertheless.

Moonlight is proving itself what we

expected, a fine early, free and continuous
bloomer. The blooms are of good size
and pure white and are borne on long
stems. So far the blooms are of good
form and fullness.

The Bride is a variety which we have
taken a decided liking to on account of
its beautiful, pure white blooms, and its
fine habit. The plant is compact and
bushy and the stems, while they are a
trifle short, are very wiry and strong. It
was troubled some with stem-rot, but that
may not be the variety 's fault altogether.
We shall certainly try it another season.

Our own Indianapolis promises to be
as good as ever this year. Our own stock
was from rather late cuttings, so that
the plants averaged small, but they are
picking up and by Thanksgiving we ex-
pect a good crop. We hear of some fine
batches of it on other places, much better
than our own.

All these varieties were shown in fine
shape at the exhibitions last winter and
showed very high quality, but this year
they will have to make good as money
getters if they want to stay in the race.
Another three months will have to pass,
at least, before we can be positive as to
their worth, A. F. J. Baur.

ELISHA N. PEIRCE.

Not a word of the death or even fail-
ing health of this dear friend reached
us till we saw the obituary notice in the
Keview. And so this dear, witty, good
and great old soul has passed to the un-
known. The brief outline of his career,
in the Review, is doubtless all facts and
well written, but to those who had spent
many hours in Mr. Peirce 's company, it
left an awful lot unsaid.

Mr. Peirce was not, I think, nearly
as well known to the great army of
florists as he deserved to be. I don't
remember seeing him at many national
conventions; but for a good many years
he was always seen at the carnation
meetings and here is where we learned
to know and keenly enjoy his company.
Perhaps it was because Mr. Peirce took
to floriculture somewhat late in life
and had with his massive brain a be-
coming modesty, that he was not more
often heard in our discussions. He was
there to learn and not to talk; still he
talked enough at Detroit in the business
meetings and at the banquet to amuse,
instruct and delight all within the sound
of his delightful Yankee drawl. A
voice and accent that just suited his drol-
lery and wit, but this wit and humorous
descriptions with which he embellished
his yarns and anecdotes was only the
effervescence of his character. The weak-
est judge of human nature could see in
him a great, broad, deep, shrewd, but
kind character. Perhaps others have
noticed what the writer has, that in
features, particularly the large bright
eyes and the massive forehead and head,
Mr, Peirce greatly resembled the late
Lord Salisbury, the premier of Great
Britain. Farmer Peirce he loved to be
called, but he had a classical education
and was deeply read. He could quote
from modern and ancient authors and
his memory was prodigious. The florists
had only begun to enjoy his wit and
counsel and we often thought of the
great treat in store for us at future
meetings where Farmer Peirce would
be bound to be a conspicuous char-
acter. For many years he must have
been the life and inspiration of camp
firef, and although a member of the
Loyal Legion Commandery, he said he

liked the camp fires of the plain old
soldier best. He liked to say that he
had lived near upon 300 years iu
Massachusetts and his build and char-
acter were such that made you love anil
respect the name, New England Yan-
kee. Shortly after seeing him in De-
troit last March we received a kind in-
vitation to visit and stay with him a
week or two. If we did not want to
sponge on his hospitality we could ad-
vise on laying out his front yard of
60 acres, and so on. We shall ever
cherish that kindly friendship he must
have had for us and deeply regret that
we could not see our way to accept his
kind invitation. One of the greatest
treats of our later years was to listen
to Mr. Peirce's anecdotes and remin-
iscences of the war or of his winter
visits to the West Indies, Mexico, Ber-
muda, etc. He spread merriment, light
and wisdom wherever he was. I could
say much more of our dear old friend,
and what little I have said is prompt-
ed, because outside of his New England
friends, thousands of our brothers do
not know and never will realize that
in the death of Elisha Peirce the flor-
ists have lost one of the very bright-
est, broadest, deepest, wittiest and
withall kindliest of men. We admire
and respect many men of our craft, but
none did we love as we did dear old
Farmer Peirce.

CYMBIDIUM LOWIANUM.

The accompanying illustration of
Cymbidium Lowianum is from a pho-
tograph of a plant in the collection of
Harry G. Selfridge, Lake Geneva, Wis.,
whose head gardener, C. H. Gebhardt,
supplies the following description and
cultural details :

' ' The stems of Cymbidium Lowianum
pseudo-bulbous, four to six inches long,
leaves linear ligulate, twenty-four to
thirty inches long; racemes robust,
arching, bearing eighteen to twenty-
five fiowers three to four inches across
transversely; sepals and petals similar,
oblong, lanceolate, greenish yellow with
reddish veins; lip three-lobed, the side
lobes roundish oblong, erect, light buff-
yellow, the intermediate lobe red crim-
son with buff-yellow margin, white at
the base.

"Cymbidium Lowianum is from
Burmah. We pot them in a mixture
of two-thirds chopped fibrous loam, one-
third chopped osmunda root fibre, a lit-
tle sand and a little chopped live
sphagnum moss. We give plenty
drainage, of broken pots, not less
than one-third of the depth of the
pots. We give them ample pot room,
as the roots are thick and fleshy
and freely produced. We also add, for
strong plants, one part of old rotten cow
manure. The flowers will last on the
plants for three months and if cut for
six weeks in a cool room.

"The watering must be regulated ac-
cording to the season of the year, plenty
in summer and on the dry side in win-
ter. We keep them all the year around
in our Mexican house, which is in win-
ter at night from 50 to 55 degrees and
5 degrees higher in the day time. In
summer we give plenty of ventilation
from top and bottom. We shade heavi-
ly and syringe twice a day and damp
down the paths three times a day in
summer but only once a day in winter.
This cymbidium could be grown suc-
cessfully in any other cool greenhouse

Cymbidium Lowianum.

with similar treatment. It is of easy
culture and if given good care it pays
well."

RECDRD KEEPING PAYS.

I noted with pleasure some notes in the
last issue, I think it was, regarding rec-
ord keeping, and while it was not written
in reference to violets, nevertheless it is
a subject that I have mentioned before,
and which bears repetition. If in this
way I can persuade some one to com-
mence keeping records this season who
has heretofore neglected to do so, I shall
have done a good work.

Get a convenient sized blank book and
rule it to suit your individual needs,
which will vary with different establish-
ments. The most simple way is to keep
a total of daily cut, but where there is
more than one house it is much better to
keep the cut of each house separately,
thereby enabling you to determine which
house is doing the better and, if in the
charge of different men, giving you a
pointer on which is the letter grower,
always taking into consideration other
things being equal. It is also condu-
cive to some good natured rivalry, which

never comes amiss and does all good,
both employer and employe.

But, leaving these considerations out
of the question, unless growing a very
limited quantity, it is the proper thing
to keep complete records if you would
know thoroughly where you are at. You
will find it a very useful and interesting
record if you elaborate it still farther
and keep the temperature, both inside
and out, in connection with the figures
showing the daily cut.

These are suggestions which everyone
can carry out more or less fully to meet
his individual needs, but whatever you
do, keep at the very least a record of the
daily cut of each variety.

Use Care in the Packages.

Everyone is now settling down to the
regular routine work of picking, packing
and shipping and this brings to mind the
fact that violets are even more particu-
lar than are most of cut flowers about
their surroundings. Never take any
chances about where they stand when
picked, or about the packages that you
ship them in, for if there is the least
foreign odor there, the violets will be
sure to absorb the same, to their ruina-
tion, for violets without fragrance have
lost half their value and with an odor
of soap from the boxes they are worth-
less, for most people buy them for their
own fragrance and not fo* their looks.

For your retail trade have a special
violet box and never allow them to go
out in candy, shoe or other boxes of
that kind, as I have sometimes seen done,
for if you do it will surely react on your
trade sooner or later. Besides, if for
no other reason, the appearance of the
packages that go out of your place now-

adays goes a long way toward the con-
tinued patronage of your cuBtomers, and
you can never be so certain of retaining
them as by perfection in detail each
time they buy or order.

Be sure to have plenty of white waxed
tissue paper to wrap violets in when
packing. Never use ordinary tissue, as it
is not at all suitable, for many reasons.
It is also very appropriate and in keep-
ing to use purple cord to match the
violets in tying up a retail order.

Keep Up to the Mark.

In the houses take good care of the
ventilation and do not thoughtlessly or
otherwise let the temperature run uji
too high some of these bright, pleasant
days. Remember that the violet is al-
ways a lover of plenty of cool, fresh air.
* ' The more the merrier. ' '

Again, by the time you are perusing
these notes you will be approaching
Thanksgiving day and, as every holiday
means extra work in the sales depart-
ment, be sure and go over the houtses at
once and thoroughly clean out poor, yel-
lowing foliage, etc., so that it will be in
shape to carry through the week without
attention, aside from the airing and
watering necessary. This will never be
an extended job provided you keep the
plants up to the mark all the time. And
after delivering all those boxes of vio-
lets, to say nothing about the other flow-
ers, you will want time to pick that tur-
key, and a violet grower needs the re-
laxation if ever any poor mortal needs it,
for he can always see work ahead of
him, and much of it not of the easiest.

AN EARLY YELLOW MUM.

During the present season there have
been no varieties of chrysanthemums
which have been so profitable as the
early yellows. A new Sort in this class
is Merstliam Yellow, an introduction of
W. Wells & Co., the well known English
growers, last season. It was given a gold
nstdal at the Royal Horticultural Society
of Great Britain and was awarded the
certificate of the Chrysanthemum Society
of America when exhibited in New York,
October 8 this year. It is of the largest
size. Chrysanthemum Merstham Yellow
is the subject of the title page of the
current issue of the Review.

NOTES ON 1904 NOVELTIES.

It is safe to say that never before
were so many fine varieties sent out in
one year as were distributed this spring,
and the record they are making at tiie
exhibitions is wonderful indeed. Chief
among these is, of course, the match-
less Duckham. No variety ever sent
out can show such a record in the time.
At every exhibition it is the same story,
nothing to touch Duckham in pinks.
Ltnox, Madison, Red Bank, Boston,
Tarrytown, all bear eloquent witness to
this fact. Commercially, where tancy
blooms are asked for, Duckham is dis-
tinctly "It." This variety has whole-
saled at $9 per dozen in New York for
special blooms and it is safe to say tnat
this is the highest price obtained for
many years, in the wholesale market.

I^eila Filkins and F. A. Cobbold are
b( th very prominent in the pinK section,
Filkins beating Morel everywhere they
were shown together.

The red varieties were somewliat of a
disappointment, S. T. Wright burning
badly when exposed to the open sunlight.
Seme blooms were shown at Boston by

, Mr. Thos. W. Head that were perfect in
color and finish, evidently taken on a
later bud ; but on the crown bud Wright
did not live up to the promise of his

• youth. Maynell was much better and
has Ix^en shown \erv fine evervwhere.

Henry Barnes was set up in wonder-
ful shape at Oceanic, but this variety,
though the most beautifully colored of
all the reds, is too weak in the neck for
any but the short vase classes.

Mary Inglis has come in for some
criticism, but the way it was shown at
Boston shows conclusively that the fault
is more with the grower than with the
variety. Grown right it is an immense
flower, one of the very largest.

Donald McLeod has also found many
friends. It was one of the largest flow-
ers in the Lenox show and its bronzy
eft'ect is very telling in a collection. One
of the largest New England commercial
growers tells me that he likes it exced-
ingly for cut flower work and will grow
it more largely next year.

Cheltoni has made a great name for
itself this year. It has beaten Appleton
in several competitions ana when grown
from crown buds builds up into a mag-
nificent flower. It is rather early for any
but the first exhibitions, but in its sea-
son, October 1.5 to 30, it is unequalled
as a yellow for either private or com-
mercial use.

Mildred Ware showed too much neck

for our American ideals of a fine vari-
ety, and we are afraid it will not be
grown largely again. The color is good
for a collection, but it is a tall grower
and we can find something else in its
color more acceptable.

Ben Wells has been shown very finely
at several places and as a purely exhibi-
tion flower, it is grand. Immense in
size, with a stem like a walking cane, it
is one of the easiest things to handle
ever grown. When the flower begins to
ago it looks like nothing so much as a
bunch of paper ribbons loosely bundled
together. General Hutton was also
shown very finely and will doubtless be
set up again in New York this week.
The bronze color has not shown so much
this year and the flower appears more
as a pure yellow and it makes a splendid
variety to set up on long stems!

Dr. Enguehard is hopelessly outclassed
as an exhibition flower, being far too
small, though it finds friends in some
quarters for commercial use. A very
good vase was on exhibition at Boston
that had been taken on a later bud
which showed neat flowers ofgood char-
acter. I could never understand why
this variety when it was sent out last
spring, was advertised as a flower that
never came sprung centered. What is a
sprung centered flower anyway?

Some of the older varieties are being
dropped as usual, white Eaton being
hardly seen at all this year on the exhibi-
tion boards. Change is necessary and
a.~ the older kinds run down, so will the
young fellows take their place, and a
cycle of a few years sees an entirely new
set of varieties in the exhibition hall.

PRICE OF GLASS.

Word comes from Pittsburg that a new
association of window glass manufactur-
ers and jobbers has begun a fight against
the American Window Glass Company by
cutting the lowest prices offered by that
company 2V(> per cent. The executive
committee on November 5 announced the
new discounts, which are 90, 20 and 2}/^
per cent off the manufacturers' list for
the first three brackets, and 90, 10 and
-Vi per cent for all sizes above the third
bracket.

Salida, Colo. — A. A. Wood says busi-
ness is very good and everything indi-
cates a prosperous season. Stock is com-
ing along nicely. He is experimenting
with Actinella Richardsoni and thinks it
will take a prominent place among com-
mercial plants.

BOSTON.

The Market.

Prices have been rather on the <iown-
"ward grade the past week and little bet-
terment is likely until the avalanche ol
ehrygantheaiums ceases. American Beau-
ties hold previous quotations, but Brides,
Bridesmaids and other varieties are
weake-T. Best fancy carnations have sold
at $4, while ordinary grades have gone
a« low as 75 cents to $1, Violets are now
doming in very fine quality, those coining
to the Park Street Market from WHliam
SpUsbury, of Woburn, being splendid.
Paper White narcissus is coming in more
freely. Some chrysanthemums get as
low as $3, but good stock goes higher.
Bonnaffon averaiges $6 to $S, Balfour,
in pink, brings $16 and first grade yel-
lows the same price. There is a very
brisk demand for green stock, especial-
ly Asparagus Sprengeri and plumosus.

Vafious Notes.

Mum has been the word the past week.
The attendance of florists and gardeners
from all parts of the stale was very
large- The establishments of Sim,
Fisher, Nicholson, Patten, Waban Con-
servatories and other well-known growers
were visited by many of the visiting
florists.

The garden committee of the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society visited the
greenhouses of H. H- Eogers, Fairhaven,
on November 8, James Garthley, the
gardener, entered a fine house of pot
chrysanthemums for the society's prizes.
On November 10 a visit was made to
the estate of Joseph H. White, Brook-
line, where James Wheeler, the new vice
president of the C. S. A., is head garden-
er. The visit was very much enjoyed.

Newconville Greenhouses are shipping
a very fine lot of Bon Silene and Safrano
to the Park Street Market.

John Mutch, of Newtonville, who is
an expert in orchid culture, has had a
grand lot of Cattleya labiata. He has
cut to date over 10,000 flowers.

At a meeting of the board of trustees
of the Massachusetts Horticultural So-
ciety, on November 5, it was voted to
recommend the same appropriations for
prizes for 1905 as in 1904, with the ex-
ception of u substantial increase for the
spring show, when the American Rose
Society meets in Boston. Several new
members were elected. It was unani-
mously voted to send a cordial invitation
to the American Carnation Society to
meet in Boston in 1906.

A. F. Estabrook, one of the nominees
for the presidency of the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society, has declined to
serve if elected. William H. Spooner
has been nominated in his stead. The
other candidate is W. W. Rawson, of
Arlington. The election occurs on No-
vember 19.

The Gardeners' and Florists' Club will
elect oflScers at its next meeting, Novem-
ber 15.

Over 500 people attended the public
demonstration at Arlington on November
5, given under the auSpces of the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society for the
purpose of educating those interested in
how to fight the brown tail and gypsy
moths and San Jose scale. Instructions
were given by Prof. A. H. Xirkland and
H. L. Frost. The big sprayer of the
Boston park system was used. The
meeting was attended by many florists
and was one of the most interesting and
instructive ever held in the vicinity of
Boston. W. N. Craig.

CHICAGa

TbeMaiket

The flood of mums has not abated dur-
ing the past week and the receipts of
fancy stock have been rather more than
tlie market coul3 assimilate at quoted
rates. As a matter of fact, the good
small stock has made better comparative
values than the big blooms. The Beauty
crop is up to all requirements and qual-
ity good. All grades of teas are plentiful,
from very poor to very good, the propor-
tion of the latter on the increase in spite
of unseasonable warm weather last week.
Maids are a little off color. Liberty
is good and selling well. Carnations, like
everything else, are coming in heavily and
the quality shows little effect of the
bright sun, although Lawson is seen in all
shades of color, also Enchantress. Vio-
lets have not been largely in evidence
the last few days, the growers evidently
holding back for a Thanksgiving supply.
Some good Hudson river stock comes
in every day, but Tuesday, there being
usually no receipts on that day. Valley
goes slow, also greens.

JTrade has been quite good, else the
huge receipts would have piled up moun-
tain high. A change to cool weather
and the near approach of Thanksgiving,
coupled with the flower shows, should
help to stiffen the market next week.
A good Thanksgiving is in prospect.

Varioos Notes.

Next week tlie flower show will be on
at the Fine Arts building. Everything
promises a good exhibition. The daily
papers are giving considerable space to
the fact that a flower will be given each
visitor. A supper is on the program for
one evening, many trade visitors being
expected. John Degnan has charge.

This week nearly every wholesale house,
and many of the greenhouses, are contrib-
uting one or more to swell the crowd at
St. Louis. Reports are that it is a
great show.

Fred Weber has his new establishment
in splendid shape. He has two houses
27x300 in Beauties. It is worth any
Beauty grower's time to go and see
them, not that by mere looking can the
secret of Beauty growing be learned, but
it will give an idea of what skill and
a very great deal of work can accomplish.
The place is clean and the growth won-
derful. The cut is not large at present
but there is abundant promise. The cut
goes to E. C. Amling.

The Benthey-Ooatsworth Co. has har-
vested a fine crop of the new aster, Ben-
they's White and Benthey's Pink, and
will distribute it to the trade this win-
ter. The seed was grown at New Castle.
It was the best selling variety offered in
this market and at St. Louis this sum-
mer.

Leonard Kill, of Peter Reinberg's,
went to St. Louis last Friday night, in-
tending to stay a week and visit Mem-
phis before returning.

N. J, Wietor says the mums are ten
days or two weeks earlier than usual;
they expect to be well cleaned out by
the Thanksgiving demand, where last
year the cut carried quite a ways into
December.

C. M. Dickinson, of E. H. Hunt's, has
been experimenting with coloring cape
flowers until he has the art of dyeing
these difficult subjects down to a fine
point.

Mrs. R. Jahn, of the Butler Floral Co.,
says business is much better than she

expected it to be so soon after opening.
She has a wide acquaintance and gets a
great deal of business over the telephone.

At the Thompson Carnation Company's
place at Joliet they use recording ther-
mometers and carry the temperature right
on a line all night. Two styles of ther-
mometers are used, one which contains a
clock and must be just so to work, and
the other made by the Parker Mfg. Co.,.
Boston, which works under any and all;
conditions.

J. A. Budlong has a crop of tea roses
just coming on.

Weiland & Eisch sent some of their
fine Brides and Maids to the Joliet show
last week.

Vaughan & Sperry are getting some un-
usually good Kaiserins.

E. E. Pieser, of Kennicott's, says
business for October, particularly the lat-
ter part, was better than he ever knew
it to be in a campaign year.

The Lincoln park flower show is on
this week and a particularly goood show-
ing is made.

Mrs. Horton and Andrew Benson are
at St. Louis this week, looking after Baa-
sett & Washburn 's exhibit.

W. N. Rndd is sending the E. F. Win-
terson Co. his carnation, Phyllis, in fine
shape.

C. W. Kellar is handling a fine lot
of dendrobiums jis well as cattleyas.

George Reinberg is getting a very fine
cut of jt'ancy carnations.

Percy Jones is handling some especially
good home grown Princess of Wales vio-
lets.

• A. L. Randall Company says that where
they last season averaged 11 cents on a
certain grower 's chrysanthemums, the cut
this year brought an average of 14 cents.

Sinner Bros, are cutting seme very
good roses in several varieties.

There were many visitors in town on
Sunday and Monday en route to the
World's Fair flower show. Visitors on
other errands were: B. Eschner, Phila-
delphia; E. Benard, San Diego, Cal. ;
Miss Gertrude Blair, Des Moines, la.;
.John C. Chase, of Benj. Chase Co., Derry,
N. H.

MALTA. OHIO.

W. C. Scovell has the past season built
a carnation house which is modern in
every respect. It is 23x70 feet, with side
wall seven feet high and fourteen feet
to ridge. The glass in the side walls
comes down to the bench level. The
house contains three benches five feet
wide and four walks two feet wide. The
benches, or rather, beds, have concrete
walls twenty-four inches high and the
walks are also concrete. Tile and gravel
give a good drainage. The purlin sup-
ports are iron. The house was erected
by Mr. Scovell and costs, exclusive of his
labor, $700. Business is very good with
him. He is now cutting fine carnations
and chrysanthemums.

Cambridge City, Ind. — Thomas Peet,
who recently purchased the greenhouses
of Howard & Lively, has the place in
nice shape with good prospects for busi-
ness.

Canandaigua, N. Y. — The Canandai-
gua Gardeners' and Florists' Society
will give its annual show November 15
and 16. The officers are: President,
.Joseph Jones; vice-president, Robert H.
McKerr; secretary, Fred C. Hawley;
treasurer, Albert O. Lucas; hall com-
mittee, Joseph .Tones, Robert Balantyne
and Robert H. McKerr.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market

Business has not been very good. The
optimists say it is better than a week
ago; the pessimists say it is not
* ' worth a row of pins. ' ' With the mid-
season chrysanthemums and the election
out of the way, conditions are slowly
improving. The mountainous wagon
loads of flowers coming into town are
appalling. Gallantly have the wholesal-
ers worked to get them out of the way,
with only fair results j they come in
very fast.

This is show week and chrysanthe-
mum is queen. The Leo Niessen Co.
reports the varieties of the week to be
Timothy Eaton, Mrs. Eobinson and
White Bonnaffon, white; George W.
Childs, red; Col. Appleton, Major Bon-
naffon, Yellow Eaton, yellow; Balfour,
Byron, Chamberlain (new English),
Maud Dean, Barclay and Dr. Engue-
hard, pink. Ivory is useful, but not a
fancy. The Cut Flower Co. had their
first Batons on Wednesday and a num-
ber of the above sorts in fine form.
Among other additions to the list are
Philadelphia, lemon yellow, at Wm.
J. Baker's; Golden Wedding, orange
yellow, at Berger Brothers; Mrs. Na-
than Smith, white, Cheltoni, lemon yel-
low, at S. S. Pennock's.

Boses and carnations continue dull ;
violets are fair stock, with prices a lit-
tle better. Orchids are becoming more
oi a factor. S. S. Pennock stated that
he can fill an order for 400 white or-
chids or cypripediums, an impossibility
not long ago.

There Is Room at the Top.

The feature of the November meeting
of the Florists' Club was an exhibit
of fancy chrysanthemums and carnations
made by Edward A. Stroud, of Overbrook
and Strafford. There were four large
vases of chrysanthemums, all very fine
and all of recent introduction. The vari-
eties were William Duckham, pink; Mrs.
Nathan Smith, white; Cheltoni, an im-
proved Nellie Pockett, and Ben Wells,
white. The carnations were Judge Hins-
dale, white with carmine markings, large,
rather globular; Enchantress, pale pink,
in fine form ; Mackinac, a splendid white,
large flower on stout stem, a beautiful
bunch. This variety is considered their
most prolific sort. This display was
greatly admired by the many members
present. It reflects great credit on the
energy and enterprise of Mr. Stroud and
on the skill of his foreman. It is of es-
pecial interest, as the varieties are all
commercial sorts that are bringing good
prices in these days of over-production.

Ranstead Street

Ranstead street runs west from the
junction of Fifteenth street and South
Penn Square. It is known floriculturally
as the business home of Edward Reid.
Improvements have been added from
time to time, until now the place is
seemingly arranged to the best possi-
ble advantage, every square foot of
space being utilized. Two floors are
used, the upper having the sales room,
the capacious ice-box, the cooling room
for carnations and the office, where Miss
Erans presides over the books and the
mimeograph. The lower floor contains
another large ice-box, used chiefly for
roses and valley, a large cool room, well
filled with shelves for carnations and

other flowers and duplicate desk, ship-
ping facilities, etc. A compartment of
the upstairs ice-box has just been
equipped with a complete set of trays
for greens that are very convenient.
Mr. Reid carries a very fine lot of stock,
which he is always ready to show.

Gardenias.

The wholesale market has been some-
what unsettled on the gardenia lately.
The price stood at 20 and 25: cents in
the end of October. The supply short-
ened and it advanced to 30 cents. It
has today reached 35 to 40 cents. A
private family living on a large estate
some distance out of town, desiring to
secure better returns for their gar-
denias, sent their daughter to the city
to sell. See the returns. The first re-
tailers offered her 35 cents for her gar-
denais. The next retailer created a
sensation by offering 50 cents each for
her best blooms; possibly with a view
to exclusive control. So the price of
gardenias today has reached double
that of a week ago.

A Chat About Bulbs.

The roomy store of Johnson &
Stokes is filled to overflowing with all
sorts of things to rejoice the heart of
a true gardener, with just enough plants
around to add a touch of life to the
scene. Upstairs W. J. Sherry made
time to give PMl a cordial welcome and
a few ideas about bulbs. Despite heavier
importations, Mr. Sherry said narcissi,
especially Von Sion and tulips, are
scarce; so are crocuses. Named hya-
cinths of good varieties are still to be
had in quantity, but that is possibly due
to the late Easter next season. By
December it is likely these two will be
marketed, making the season a leader on
bulb sales.

Hightstown.

Charles E. Meehan, the hustling man-
ager of the Flower Market, and D. T.
Conner, with Lord & Burnham Co., paid
a visit to Hightstown, N. J., last Fri-
day, thoroughly enjoyed by both. They
went there on a freight train, not for an
election wager or to save expense, but
just because it so happened.

They visited Pierson & Bodine, a
new place with a fine house, 16x250,
devoted to violets in excellent shape.
Nothing was said about who put up
the house, but Mr. Conner's interest
is very significant.

Joseph P. Johnson was next. He has
a half-dozen houses devoted to violets,
chiefly Lady Campbell. They are ver-v
fine and the blooms are much admired
at the Flower Market.

Then came Black & Son's place.
Elias Black received the visitors. Be-
sides good violets, there are plenty of
carnations. Scott is grown as well as
in its palmiest days. Queen Louise,
Enchantress an,l Mrs. Lawson, all
looked well.

Tracy Norton came next, He had
violets galore. They can grow violets
at Hightstown, Mr. Meehan says so; he
has been there and he ought to know. In
talking about the violet market this
fall, Mr. Norton said: "The warm
weather was due to the warm weather."
If you can guess what he meant when
quoting this sentence you are very
much smarter than Phil.

Darkness came next, much to the dis-
appointment of the visitors who wanted
to see Richard Norton, Chas. Black and

Pierre, but you can't do all the places
when you travel by freight.

Various Notes.

Paul Berkowitz, of H. Bayersdorfer
& Co., returned on Monday from a very
successful fall trip. The firm is tre-
mendously busy, shipping orders all over
the country.

John I. Heibeck, of Chester county,
will offer his greenhouses for sale
next week.

Wm. J. Baker is receiving some ex-
ceptionally well grown chrysanthe-
mums from M. J. Brinton, of Christi-
ana, Pa. Philadelphia, Major Bonnaf-
fon and Maud Dean are among his
varieties.

The Leo Niessen Co. had a large or-
der for the white chrysanthemum Mrs.
Henry Robinson this week.

Wm. J. Moore has been visiting the
growers lately.

The chrysanthemum show in Fair-
mount park was thrown open last Sun-
day to a tremendous crowd of visitors.
It will be continued as long as €he flow-
ers remain in good condition.

The display at Gimbel Brds. * store,
described last week, has been continued
ti is week. It is attracting great crowds
of f)eople. Hugh Graham used a con-
siderable quantity of flowers to keep the
decoration fresh. His work was greatly
admired.

A. M. Campbell, with Edw. Eeid, who
was ill last week, has returned to his
post.

In last week's Riverton notes Viola
enculata should have been Viola corcuta,
the tufted pansy. Phil.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Business is steadily improving and the
outlook is good for a busy season front
now on. There seems to be plenty of
work for social affairs, also in funeral
designs. Several of the leading retailers
report large wedding orders for next
week. Last Saturday was a very busy
day. Chrysanthemums are in great abun-
dance. They always are when show time
approaches. The finer quality are now
upon the market. There are so many of
the better sorts now in that fancy prices
are out of the question, and it is only
a question of "how many can you use
and we make a price to suit. ' ' About
all that can be obtained for the very
best chrysanthemums is $3. The next
grade can be had from $1 to $2. The
big show at the World's Fair should
help the sale of cut stock considerably.

Roses are not much looked after dur-
ing the mum season and unless they are
extra fancy they are hard to dispose of
at satisfactory prices. White and Amer-
ican Beauties are the only sellers now.
Plenty of red and pink are going to
waste for want of demand. Fancy teas
do not bring over $6 per hundred. Good
quality of roses can be had from $2 to
$4, and even cheaper in 1,000 lots. The
prices asked for fancy Beauties are $3
and $4 per dozen, and $6 to $10 per hun-
dred is the price for the stock with
shorter stems.

Carnations are also plentiful. There
seems to be a general complaint that
stock goes to sleep over night. Of course,
the retailers are only buying for their
daily sales. One retailer reports that
he dumped 500 that were bought for
fancy at 3 cents; they were worthless

the next morning. The cause has not
as yet been explained. It is not merely
one man's stock, but all.

Violets are having a great sale, both
single and double, and not enough come
in to supply the demand. Califomias
sell at 50 cents and doubles at $1. In
bulb stock, valley, Paper Whites and
callas are fine, with a fair demand at
tht ir usual price. Of greens the market
has plenty.

Various Notes.

As the time for the opening of the
big show approached everybody was
busily at work in the conservatory at the
World's Fair getting things in shape for
the opening. The prospects for a suc-
cessful show are very flattering, as the
daily papers have given it some great
notices and have gotten the general pub-
lic to talking about it. Manager Haus-
wirth, of Chicago, and Fred Meinhardt,
uf this city, have been busy all of the
I)ast week. Great wagon loads of plants
from the local florists were placed in
Die building on Sunday. Taking every-
thing into consideration, it will be the
largest flower show ever held in this
country.

On Wednesday, October 26, the First
National Conference of Horticultural 8o-
ciety Officers and Workers was held in
the Horticulture Building, World's Fair.
The conference was called to order by
President C. F. Hale, of Michigan..

George E. Kessler, chief of the land-
scape department of the World's Fair,
returned Friday to St. Louis from his
home in Kansas City to attend the meet-
ing of the park restoration committee,
which will confer this week regarding
tlie question of restoring Forest park
after the fair closes.

Some of the street fakirs are still sell-
ing flowers on the street comers, despite
the order from the city officials and the
great efforts of the downtown florists,
uho say that they will not molest them
if they keep within certain limits.

The club meeting this week will be
lield Thursday in the Horticulture build-
ing at the fair, so that out-of-town vis-
itors can take part in the proceedings.
This was decided at a meeting on Mon-
day. * *•'(

The opening of the new city hall on
Friday night was a social affair. All
the offices ware decorated with plants
and flowers, mostly chrysanthemums, the

NEW YORK.

The Market.

The market during the past week was
unworthy of the name. All the whole-
salers were flooded, Prices at times
were bottomless; stagnation was univer-
sal. Never was stock more perfect and
never, it is claimed, has so discouraging
a week been experienced in the street's
record. The present week shows no im-
provment at its opening. With the elec-
tion over, the weather seasonable and the
demand of society once more in evi-
dence, the close of the week may see the
longed-for turn of the tide. That it
may be so is the sincere desire of the
Beview, to whose patrons and friends
we wish abundant reason now and always
for unlimited Thanksgiving.

Various Notes. '" ;"'*'*^

deary's Horticultural Hall is now an

established enterprise, ably managed and
with every indication of permanent suc-
cess. A big sale of hardy roses in the
near future is announced and every
Tuesday and Friday the auctions will
continue until ' Christmaa. Ambrose
Cleary is a model auctioneer.

The Hinode Co., of Whitestone, L. 1.,
is now rejoicing in the completion of its
new greenhouses. Their stock of Easter
lilies will be enormous and their sales
of the tiny Japanese plants have been
far above their expectations.

Alfred Dimraock, of Sander & Sons,
St. Albans, England, is enjoying a very
successful season among his many Amer-
ican customers and gracing the fall ex-
hibitions with his breezy presence.

Wm. H. Siebrecht, Jr., of Astoria, has
hung out his shingle at 277 Broadway as
a full-fledged attorney at law.

Sigmund Geller's new store on the
ground floor is proving a great conven-
ience, and an additional zinc-lined room
just built gives him one of the most com-
plete establishments in the supply line in
the country.

Alex. Guttman's new red carnation,
Victory, grows in popularity wherever ex-
hibited. Boston demonstrated its faith
in the future of this flower. It will be
exhibited at the next meeting of the
New York Florists' Club, Monday, No-
vember 14, with many other attractive
novelties. This meeting promises to be-
come one of the best of the year. In the
afternoon the bowling club will meet and
lunch will be served in ample time for
the evening meeting. All out-of-town
visitors are invited.

It is hardly to be wondered that en-
thusiasm as to a New York exhibition
similar to those which have proved so
costly to their promoters, is a hard thing
to materialize, and yet the show under
the auspices of the American Institute,
which begins on Thursday and continues
for ten days, promises to break the spell
and renew the record breaking attend-
ances of other years. Not only flowers,
but everything pertaining to horticulture
will be displayed. Many thousands of
complimentary tickets are distributed and
the officials place their estimate of antici-
pated attendance at 100,000.

Eight opposite the big hall, above
Macey's where the show takes place, is
M. A. Bowe's, where for some weeks,
with orchids and mums in abundance,
most beautiful windows have been cre-
ated.

Arthur T. Boddington has large im-
portations of hardy roses, peonies, Ulacs
and nursery stock generally arriving and
shows some fine wedding bells. White
Romans are going fast. The depletion
of all kinds of bulbs is decide^y en-
couraging.

F. E. Pierson's artistic hand was in
evidence everywhere at the successful
Tarrytown show. His new fern is win-
ning recognition wherever exhibited.

Qhormley's facilities for handling his
immense shipments were never so good
as now. The immense ice box is now com-
plete. Mr. Ghormley has entirely recov-
ered his health and is quite hopeful as
to an immediate improvement in business.

L. Wertheimber & Co., 39 Barclay
street, are making a specialty of Alpha
Christmas bells, for which they find a
heavy demand, last season being entirely
unable to fill their orders.

Warrendorff opened a fine branch at
One Hundred and Twenty-second street
and Seventh avenue last Saturday. Sev-
eral branches will be established in other
desirable parts of the city during the

winter. The business is to be incopo-
rated under the title of The Warrendorff
Co.

Ehmann is celebrating his fifth anni-
versary by installing electric lights,
while a block away David Clarke's Sons
have elaborately decorated and filled
their immense establishment for Thanks-
giving. For Scottii they find a ^eat and
increasing demand. They consider this
the best commercial fern in the market.

Mrs. Warrendorff, Sr., has been very
ill for several weeks but is convalescing
slowly.

The sixth annual flower show in the
Central Park greenhouses is now open.

F. H. Traendly was a visitor at the
Boston show and dwells enthusiastically
upon the fine exhibits, the new seedling
carnations at Peter Fisher's and the
grand stock of Patten and Nicholson.

Ford Bros, are receiving some splendid
Appletons, Jones and Maud Dean from
O. Boehler, of West Hoboken, and their
Enchantress, Dorothy and violets are as
fine as the finest.

Capt. Fenrich has his store spick and
span for Thanksgiving and is fast build-
ing up a business that promises to com-
pare favorably with many of the veter-
ans.

The orchid's popularity grows and
prices are again normal and the supply
rone too abundant for the universal use
that seems inevitable. McManus handles
many varieties daily and is ready for
the certain shipping demand that he has
done so much to develop in other cities,
shipping them from Montreal to New
Orleans and Chicago.

Charles Millang's special conservatory
is ablaze with light and color and his
greenhouse stocked with an abundance
for the city retailers.

Jos. Millang, manager of the Cut
Flower Co., maintains his reputation as
"the Beauty king," the special stock
he is now handling being as fine as any
that has ever reached the New York
market.

J. K. Allen is increasing his sources
of supply this fall, many new growers
having been added to his clientele.

The Clucas & Boddington Co. has
about completed one of the busiest sea-
sons in its history. The nurseries at
Sparkhill have been developing rapidly
this year.

Lecakes & Co. find their cut flower de-
partment, under the management of John
A. Foley, a very profitable addition to
their large fern and galax butiness.
They also handle plants of all kinds
and will have some fine holly for Thanks-
giving.

Reed & Keller report a fine run on
their novelties and inventions, many of
them especially adapted for the holiday
requirements.

Schloss Bros, have many handsome
novelties this fall. They have only sat-
isfactory criticisms to make as to the
increase in their business during 1904.

Lcikens' store on Thirty-third street
is a little gem and his prospects for a
big business this winter encouraging.

PITTSBURG.

The Market

The near approach of the election seems
to have affected business the past week,
as there was considerable complaint
among the retailers. However, if the
regular business was slow, there were
quite a few large affairs which at least
made a fair week for those who were
lucky enough to have the orders.

Club Meeting.

The Florists' Club met November 2
with mums on the table. A. Herrington,
president of the national society, exhib-
ited some very fine specimens, as did also
N'athan Smith & Son and Wm. K. Harris.
R, Vincent, Jr. & Son exhibited pom-
l^on varieties. The local people di<l
themselves proud on this occasion, and it
was the first time that they brought in
a better display than we have had from
our out-of-town friends. Among the
home people, Mr. Jenkinson, gardener
for A. R. Peacock; John Jones, the Schen-
loy park gardener; the Godwin boys, the
Florists' Exchange, Mr. Zimmermann of
Dixmont, the Sewickley Cut Flower Com-
pany, G. & J. W. Ludwig, for Wm.
Kasting; Blind Bros, and the Pittsburg
Cut Flower Company each displayed very
creditable stock.

After discussing all these, President
Falconer introduced Fred Burki as the
man who grows mums at a profit and
called on him for some remarks as to
his method. The meeting was one of
the best attended for some time, almost
every chair in the hall being occupied.
All were well repaid for the time spent.

Various Notes.

Breitenstein & Flemm had the decora-
tion at the banquet given to the English
steel manufacturers by the Westinghouse
Co. This was one of the big things this
week, about 650 being seated.

A. W. Smith had the Chamber of Com-
merce banquet at Hotel Schenley. This
was on a more extensive scale than usual
on account of the foreign guests.

Randolph & McClements had several
large weddings this week, as well as a
large banquet at the Schenley given to
the British steel manufacturers.

G. & J. W. Ludwig had the decorating
for the opening of the Gaiety Theater.

Mrs. E. A. Williams has a beautiful
and novel decoration in her large win-
dow— mums, Japanese lanterns and pos-
ters. Tt was indeed beautiful and at-
tracted a great deal of attention.

Geo. A. MeWilliams has installed an-
other sixty- horsepower boiler at his Na-
trona plant.

F. R. Pierson & Co., of Tarrytown,
N. Y., sent a box of their new fern,
which arrived one day late for the club

The Market

After the bright prospects of last
week, it would s<em to be rather dis-
couraging to have the market slump;
but slump it did and the poor mums
had to stand the blunt of it all. The
good prices that were being obtained
for them have dropped nearly one-half,
and now, unless they are Al, it is hard
to move them at anything like a paying
price. There can be no other explana-
tion of this than that the retail stores
are doing very little business. The
weather is entirely too pretty. We are
having ideal fall weather and that is
not the kind that tends to make busi-
ness. We want a cold, rainy spell and
then, I believe, trade will be all right
again. The closeness of the election may
have had something to do with it, but
we will soon be able to judge of that.

Medium and small mums sold best, but
all kinds sold at very low figures.

Roses also suffered. Beauties that
have been doing so well were dropped a
few notches in price. Other varieties
were coming in large numbers and quite
a few had to be disposed of at job lot
prices.

Carnations were more plentiful and
they are suffering the least of all, but
prices obtained are not up to last year.
Other stock is the same as last reported.

Various Notes.

On November 12 will take place our
annual mum show. There is no question
but that it will be very good this year.
Several out-of-town growers will com-
pete in the various classes and besides
many seedlings will be exhibited.

The store of Rusconi & Myers, at
Avondale. was broken into last Saturday
night and the money drawer ransacked,
but although it contained over $12 in
cash, nothing was taken.

SELECTED STOCK "SPECIAL" LATE DUG BULBS

For five years past we have received- direct from our g-rower in Japan a Special Stock of Japan Lilium Longifloriim,
which has given, in every instance, more than usual satisfaction. This •• SPECIAL STOCK " flowers simultaneously,
and grows an even height of about 3 feet, with abundant foliage. It can be flowered by Easter, even when planted late
in November. The flowers are of good substance, and more prolific than ordinary stocks of Lilium Longiflorum. We
have a limited supply of this special stock of Lilium L/ongiflorum and parties wishing any quantity should order promptly.

The Market

Trade has been fairly brisk the past
week. Mums are holding sway and mak-
ing inroads on sales of other stock. Theo.
Boettcher is sending in some fine Phila-
delphia and Pennsylvania, C. Johansen
has some large yellow and white Eaton.
H. Schwebke is also cutting some fine
Golden Wedding and Eaton. Nic Zwei-
fel has a fine crop of Enchantress com-
ing in. This variety seems to have been
heavily planted by most of the local
growers this season and the quality is
exceptionally fine. Red carnations ap-
pear to be scarce. Violets are coming in
more freely and of improved quality.
There are plenty of valley and sweet
peas to meet requirements. The supply
of roses is about equal to demand, but
demand is rather unsteady. Mum plants
appear to be selling better than last
season.

Various Notes.
The chrysanthemum show at Mitchell
park drew a very large crowd the past
week. Flowers and plants were all
staged in the main conservatory and in
such shape as to show oflF a great array
of colors, from a dark red to the purest
white. Aug. Gerlach^ the gardener in
charge, is now keeping the men busy
propagating spring stock, as most of
the plants used in the park are supplied
from these greenhouses.
. The Florists' Club had a well at-
tended meeting Nofvember 1. Nic Zwei-
fefl read a paper on "Carnation Cul-
ture" and an interesting discussion fol-
lowed.

Fred Schmeling has purchased a fine
Beagle hound and engaged a blind at
Puckaway lake and is awaiting the flight
of ducks from the north.

The Florists' Club is awaiting the
opening of the new bowling alley and
expects to start a series of games for
the winter between growers, wholesalers
and retailers, Fred Schmeling rolled
three games over 200 last week and will
bowl with one of the league clubs in
Wauwatosa. He will probably join the
G. A. R team.

We expect to have a delegation of
about fifteen to the Chicago mum show,

Fred Schmeling will rc£^ a paper ot
Christmas plants at the next regular
club meeting. Incog.

BUFFALO.

Very beautiful weather has mostly
prevailed of late and any dullness of
business could not be excused on that
score. Mums have of course been the
flower, both to decorate the shop win-
dow as well as to fill an order. We see
no abatement of their popularity and
only notice that quality is now sought
for more than mere size, which a few
years ago was the principal attraction.
However interesting abnormally large
blooms may be at an exhibition for the
buying public, the limit in size has been
reached. And so it has not only been
in the chrysanthemum, but also in the
rose and carnation. A tea rose larger
than a first-class Bridesmaid would be
coarse, and a carnation larger than En-
chantress is not wanted. There are
many qualities which can be added to
the best of our leading flowers besides
size.

Boses are improving in quantity and
carnations are coming in freely, many
not high in quality, Violets are rather
plentiful and cheap, A touch of win-
ter will stiffen them up in price.

The first large wedding of the fall
occurred last week. Large quantities
of mums, pink roses and American
Beauties were used. Business all around
has been quite fair,

W, J, Palmer & Son are making
great alterations and improvements in
their lower store (the old stand), Will-
iam is bound to keep in the very front
of the procession.

We are all looking forward to the
H, A, Meldrum Co. 's show which be-
gins Wednesday the 9th, Mr, Keitsch,
the active manager, reports that the
entries received assure its success and
those received from many out-of-town
growers were the most gratifying part
of it. We anticipate seeing a fine dis-
play and meeting many old friends. This
is indeed a great week and many of
the big lights must wish they had the
power of the high-class Hindoo fakir
and could be in Boston, St, Louis, Chi-
cago and several other places all at the
same time. We should like mucn to see
St. Louis and hope for its unqualified
success, but health, as well as other rea-
sons, forbids. W. S.

NORTHFIELD, MiNN. — C. P. Nichols

has completed a new greenhouse on the
site of the old one. It has 3,200 feet

house seems practically air tight save
for the ventilators.

KEEPING INSECTS DOWN.

Tobacco in some shape or form has
been for years, and, to a certain extent,
is still, the great stand-by for the pre-
vention and destruction of insect pests
in the greenhouse. The distribution of
tobacco stems throughout the house is
one -of the best preventives we have, but,
AS these soon loose strength, they need
to be renewed every two or three weeks
to be effective. The cleanest and best
■way to use the stems is to tie them in
bunches and suspend them under the
benches. For killing aphides, tobacco
smoke generated either by the burning
of the stems or powder is largely used.
The smoke cannot be applied in suflScient
strength to finish the fly at once without
causing damage to teuder plants, such as
tomatoes, but must be applied lightly
two or three nights in succession to be
eflfective. Tobacco paper, of which there
are several good ones, are among the
latest forms in which the fumes of to-
bacco can be applied. This is clean and
easy of application and is about as effec-
tive a way of using tobacco as we have
yet tried.

The newest and most effective insect
destroyer is hydrocyanic gas. If this is
carefully used, I believe it is the cheap-
est and best insect destroyer that can
be employed. Up to about a year ago
I was somewhat sceptical about the
handling of this poisonous gas, but ex-
perience teaches me that it is just as
safe as anything else, so long as it is
carefully used. My first experience with
it was in a house of tomatoes. I used
one quart of sulphuric acid, one quart of
water and fivo ounces of cyanide of
potassium to a house containing 2,000
cubic feet. Although no great damage
resulted, the tips of the more tender
leaves were scorched. The next time 1
had occasion to use the gas, I used just
half the quantity to the same space, and
found that it killed the fly just as well,
while my plants were unharmed. Since
then I have used gas on all classes of
plants, allowing one pint sulphuric acid,
one pint water and two and one-half
ounces of cyanide to 2,000 cubic feet,
and find it effective as an insect killer,

but harmless to plant life. I have used
it on chrysanthemums when the flowers
were half open without the slightest dam-
age, while tobacco smoke used strong
enough to kill green fly, with the flowers
at the same stage, would certainly have
hurt the blooms.

The groat point in the use of this gas
is to have the foliage dry and the tem-
perature of the house not over 60 de-
grees. On account of its being deadly
poison, extreme caution must be used in
its application. I place the acid and
water together in a stone jar near the
door, drop in the cyanide and get out
and lock the door as soon as possible.
I leave it thus till next morning, the ap-
plication always being made in the even-
ing, when the house can safely be en-
tered and the ventilators raised. An
hour or two of air will dispel all smell

Threshing and Curinf^ Onion Seed at J. M. Kimberlin & Co/s, Santa Clara, CaL

Seed Trade News.

AMCRiaN SEED TRAOC ASSOCUTHW.

Pres.. C. N. Pa^e, Des Moines. la : First Vloe-
Pres.. L. L. May. St. Paul: Secy and Treas . C. E.
Kendel, Cleveland. The Xjrd annual meeting
will be held on the St. Lawrence, June, 1905.

A TOUR AMONG CALIFORNIA
SEED GROWERS.

No seedsman who visits Santa Clara
will fail to enjoy meeting Charles Par-
ker. He is a grower of the old school.
His operations cover a considerable acre-
age of Santa Clara, as well as '<up the
river." In company with him, inspect-
ing crop; was a profitable experience at
both places, especially so at Santa Clara,
where he had onion bulbs growing that
were to he set out for the next year's
seed crop. The onions were being grown
from seed furnished by him and the pro-
duct of the seed was to be delivered to
him at a stated time. They were being
grown under contract, the 'contract giv-
ing him the power to discard any that
were not of the right tyne at harvest
time, as well as to supervise the caring
for them <luring growth. Land esjwcially
adapted to the growth of onions is select-
ed and as a rule a good crop of bulbs is
the result. This same method is pursueil
by the rest of the growers to a greater
or less extent. Mr. Parker's plantings,
however, l)oing the only onions that we
had the advantage of inspecting in an
intelligent way for type on this particu-
lar trip, it is due him that a note be
made of it. As a grower of lettuce,
radish, spinach, beet and sweet peas Mr.
Parker is known to be reliable and his
experience covers a good number of years
at Santa Clara. Tt may seem super-
fluous to state, and it does not belong
here any more than in any other part
of this article, but it is a fact, which
applies to California, or any^vhere else
where seed is grown, that the greatest
care in selecting the bulb or the plant,
and the largest knowledge in the proper
methods of planting, growing or har-
vesting, may be set at naught by loose

methods in tagging the lots before and
after the threshing, and in making a
bulk of two or nuirc lots of the same
variety.

F. A. Wilcox is another Santa Clara
grower who had some good fields to show,
onion, lettuce, radish, etc. He also op-
erates "up the river" in the vicinity of
the fields of Chas. Parker. The inter-
ests of the two seem to be more or less
combined, although each works inde-
pendently.

In this connection the Braslan Seed
Growers' Co., which has a large interest
in seed growing at Santa ('lara and
vicinity, as well as elsewhere, should be
mentioned. The head of this company
is well known to the seed trade, both in
this country and abroad. Chas. P. Bras-
lan has probably had as varied an ex-
perience in all lines of the seed business,
for his years, as any man in it. With
headquarters, as before mentioned, at
San Jose, the Braslan Seed Gro-A-ers'
Co., operating in conjunction with ex-
perienced growers at Santa Clara, or
wherever mutual interests will warrant,
has quite an extensive acreage to draw
from to supply the seed needed by its
customers. It is a well conducted orga-
nization, up to date in its business meth-
ods with a resourceful, keen and hustling
manager. Some up-hill work has been
done by this company of growers, and its
advancement has had the usual bumps ;
nevertheless it reports progress from
time to time and seems well able to take
care of the interests of its customers and
itself.

Not far from Santa Clara is Agnew
Station, where the Agnew interests are
located. Sugar beet seed took up a part
of the home ranch, with onion, lettuce,
etc. "Up the river," this firm also had
plantings that were well looked after and
gave promise of good returns.

At Mountain View where was formerly
a Miss Gallimore, who had quite a seed
ranch, but her place was not found on
this trip. It was explained that fruit
growing had taken the place of seed
growing in that immediate vicinity.

Next week we will pursue our journey
north, stopping first at Palo Alto.

There is a lull at present in the onion
set market.

The present fine weather suits the
sweet corn growers.

Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, will in-
troduce a new potato the coming spring.

From all reports sweet corn and cu-
cumber seed will be normal crops this
year.

Most of the California deliveries ou
the contract basis are being shipped
in full.

While there are plenty of Harrisii,
longiflorums give every evidence of
being good property.

Beans thus far received at the clean-
ing warehouses are of good quality and
the color of sample bright.

There seems to be no great scarcity
of anything in what is termed small gar-
<len seeds except American-grown egg
plant.

There has been a good deal of riv-
alry among seed sellers in the onion
marsh districts lately. All seem to be
anxious to sell onion seed for present or
future delivery.

W. W. Johnson & Son, BostoTi, Eng-
land, have five novelties for next season,
a betiding nasturtium called Daylight, a
I" PP.v, a sweet pea, the Pearl potato and
a round early pea called Diamond.

We learn that the Koyal Dutch Bulb-
Growers' Society, at Haarlem, Holland,
intends to hold its quinquennial exhibi-
tion of bullwus flowers from March 17
to 21, 190.5. The schedule which has
l)een published shows that a large num-
ber of prizes are being offered. It is
the intention to make this show the most
interesting ever held. Interested parties
can have further particulars on appli-
cation to the secretary of the society,
Jos. de Brent, at Haarlem, Holland.

Lebanon, N. H.-— The Haskell Floral
Co. has just put up a greenhouse 30x130
and will at once install a new sixty
horse-power boiler beside the others.

PHILADELPHIA.

D. L. Sloan, of D. L. Sloan & Son,
Palo Alto, Cal., was a caller this week.

The 1904 crop bean deliveries are very
disappointing. We are promised from
20 to 30 per cent on Wardwell's; on
Davis Wax^ from 25 to 35 per cent;
Bed Valentines, 60 per cent. This is a
New York grower's estimate. Quite a
few bean contracts were placed with New
Jersey farmers this season and they are
equally disappointing.

Plenty of sugar corn is being offered
by the farmers. They report no outlet
for it for seed, and many are convert-
ing their sugar corn seed into pork.
How different from a year ago!

The crop of egg plant seed is below
medium.

It is reported that one of the leading
catalogue houses will commence mailing
catalogues December 1.

Henry A. Dreer is erecting a large
seed warehouse at 710 Locust street to
accommodate their large increasing trade.

MAILING CATALOGUES.

Charles N, Page, Des Moines, la., pres-
ident of the American Seed Trade Asso-
ciation, has sent out a circular with re-
gard to the mailing of catalogues in bulk
without stamps affixed. This has to do
with additional regulations of the Depart-
ment, from which, as Mr. Page points
out,

It will be seen that the wrapper may have
any adTertislng matter printed on which Is
desired so that the type conforms with the
regulations. While Section 6 states that the
mailer must tie the separately addressed park-
ages In bundles of 50, 100. 21X). 51K) or 1.000
pieces, our postmaster here says that a mall
bag may be considered a bundle and It Is not
necessary that each bag contain the same
number of pieces, but the sender may put any
number that he desires In each bag provided
the bag is tagged with statement of the actual
number contained In It. Thus It will be con-
venient to put catalogues or circulars going to
each state in separate mail sacks and thus
expedite the handling at the post-ofBce.
Before acting on this statement, however.
It would be well to Inquire if your postmaster
takes a like view of the ruling. This new
law will be of advantage in the mailing of
circulars weekly price cards and samples of
seed as well as in sending out catalogues.
It will save the expense and time Involved In
affixing and canceling postage stamps and In-
sure mail being forwarded more expeditiously.
It Is tA be hoped that during the coming
session of Congress the law originally asked for
will be passed permitting the sending of all
snch matter at the bulk rate of eight cents per
pound.

cupied the same lot that A. Washburn &
Sons' new building now occupies. After
a few months this building was sold and
Mr. Washburn leased the east window in
J. B. Dunham's notion store. The busi-
ness was afterward moved to the old
Windsor hotel building and about a year
later, Mr. Washburn realizing that he did
not have a greenhouse establishment large
enough to back up a store, gave up the
store end of the business and spent the
next few years in building up the green-
hoxise plant. Ten years ago a store was
opened in the place just vacated by them
on North Main street. The business has
grown rapidly since that time and it is
rather an unusual coincidence that after
so many years they would return and oc-
cupy the whole building where they start-
ed in such a modest way.

FoET Dodge, Ia. — P. L. Larson gave a
chrysanthemum show November 4 and

EocKFORD, III. — ^H. W. Bnckbee is-
sued invitations to the public to visit

his chrysanthemums prior to the ship-
ment of the exhibition stock for the St.

HURELY this cannot be true; well^ we have over J 00 gfrowers who have written us^ a larg^e majotity
without request^ their opinions ; we publish a few ot these letters in the columns of this paper; see
on pages 1257-58-70-77. what they say about the FUMIGATING KIND TOBACCO
POWDER. All began with a five-pound trial bag at our expense^ which gave them an opportunity
without cost to prove its GOODNESS and our assertion that it was the most effective^ cleanest and
quickest^ as well as cheapest (tO cents per (00-foot house) article to fumigate with^ and that all kinds of
aphis can be killed in one night. Let us send you a five-pound trial bag by express^ it will cost you
nothing but the express charges on it, and be convinced that what your brother growers say of it is
true. Our booklet tells of it; we mail it on request.

PACIFIC COAST.

WITH CARNATION GROWERS.

As I stated last week, there will be
more carnations than ever during the com-
ing season. Many houses formerly de-
voted to rose growing have been changed
and replanted to the easier grown flower.
The reasons given by some of the growers
are as follows: One told me that his
houses were too old and leaky to devote
longer to roses. Another stated that aft-
er having grown them for five years he
concluded his soil was not suitable for
roses. Another remarked that his houses
were not built right for roses, although he
had been using them for that purpose
for several years. Two growers com-
plained that practical greenhousemen who
understood forcing were too hard to se-
cure in California. From my observa-
tions 1 am sure there will be no excess of
roses this season, although some of the
places have fine stock and plenty of it.

But to return to carnations. In white
sorts Flora Hill easily predominates in
the amount of stock planted. It seems to
be the standby with the larger percentage
of growers. Queen Louise comes next and
finds favor with many. Wolcott is grown
in most of the larger places, with varying
success, but it has evidently come to stay.
The flowers at present bring about twice
what is obtained for other white sorts.
White ("loud finds favor in a few places
but has been discarded by many.

Prosperity is said by many to be a very
shy bloomer but I find it extensively plant-
ed again this season. The flowers bring
the highest prices of any variety at pres-
ent.

With pink sorts Lawson is still the
champion here an<l bids fair to remain
so. I find Enchantress to have made won-
tlerful strides since last season and many
growers are planting it heavily. Triumph
I think is next on the list, followed by
Ciessbrook, although this variety does not

find favor with some growers. E. Schwer-
in is a good winter bloomer and has many
friends. Ethel Crocker has been discard-
ed on account of its reluctance to bloom
in the winter. Mrs. Joost, although a
comparatively small flower, is an abun-
dant bloomer and is grown in many of
the smaller establisments. Wm. Scott
comes under the same head. Genevieve
Lord I found only in a few houses.

With scarlets Estelle has almost super-
seded everything. America has been dis-
carded and Crane is only occasionally
seen. Mrs. Palmer and Harlowarden do
not seem to finil much favor and Portia
is only planted in a few places.

Pingree and Gold Nugget are out of
business but a few houses are still planted
to Eldorado.

In variegated sorts Bradt seems to have
almost disappeared, likewise Armazindy,
Stella and Gaiety. The finest I have seen
are John Carbone and Iris Miller and sev-
eral unnamed seedlings. The majority
of growers do not interest themselves
much with variegated, although they usu-
ally bring good prices.

There are several other sorts that are
grown in a few localities but the list
given here represents the varieties in'
about the proportion they are grown. The
prospects for an unlimited winter's su^
ply are excellent. G.

SAN FRANC3SCO.

The Market

Business is still very quiet and the wea-
ther is such that flowers are being brought
to the stores in unprecedented quantities.
Chrysanthemums are still in their prime
and they are making the store windows
and the baskets of the sidewalk venders
very showy. Outdoor stock has been sold
as cheap during the past week as twenty
dozen for a dollar, good quality of flow-
ers. Without frost the supply will last
about three weeks more, by present indi-
cations. The quantity of roses is lessen-
ing considerably and better prices are
being paid. The majority of the first
crop is over and those that are now being
oflFered are of much better stem. Amer-
ican Beauty is scarce and still brings a
good figure. The stores are paying from
$1 to $2 per dozen. Brides and Maids
are selling wholesale at from 50 cents to
$1 per dozen and Testout and Liberty a
little less. Carnations are plentiful and,
except the fancy varieties, there is no
great demand for them. Violets are just
about in sufficient quantity to fill the de-
mand. Outdoor stock has almost disap-
peared and with the advent of frosty
weather, which we may expect in a few
weeks, the price will take a sudden rise.
Quite a quantity of Paper White narcissi
are seen. This is an unparalleled happen-
ing in the history of the trade here. The
great downpour of rain in September,
which came two months before its time,
started the dormant bulbs and we will
have a large portion of our bulbous stock
a good many weeks earlier than usual.

I saw in a prominent Sutter street store
this week a largo bunch of beautiful white
lilac. This is another freak proposition.
Fancy cutting a quantity of lilac out-
doors in California at the middle of No-
vember.

Some of the florists have already been
visited by the Christmas tree dealers and
it seems impossible to realize that we are
almost to the end of another year. G.

tion.— W. J. Miller & Son.

Rochester. The 29tb annual convention will be
held at West Baden, Ind., June, 1905.

Many cemeteries are in the market
this fall for considerable quantities of
DHrsery stock.

Now that the alarm about the San Jose
scale has in a measure passed, it is time
to get up some excitement over the
gypsy moth. Many consider it the more
dangerous pest.

There is a good demand for Tritoma
Pfitzeri, it having been used by florists in
a number of notable decorations this fall.
North of Philadelphia it is safer to lift
the plants in November and store in a
cellar. It needs a well-drained situation.

The freight steamers from Rotterdam
sail very irregularly and there is much
complaint at the delay suffered by per-
ishable goods. The boats of the Neth-
erlands-American Co. sail regularly every
week and many shippers find it advisable
to use these steamers.

Heney Hicks says, in an article in
Country Life, that growing box in this
country is fighting nature ; when you
compare the climates of Old and New
England the wonder is, not that box fails,
but that any, evergreen from England
succeeds here; we should look to Man-
churia or Korea for a broad-leaved ever-
green to displace box.

There is an indication that, with the
more general demand for ornamental ma-
terial, the call for large specimens will
be overshadowed by the requests for
smaller stock. The rich man will pay
for immediate effect but the planter of
moderate means wants a good many
plants; he thinks he gets more for his
money than in specimens and besides he
does not lose so much if part of the stock
dies and he can afford to wait.

THE BEECH.

When is the best time to move the
purple beech T I. E. B.

The beech is not our easiest tree to
transplant, but that depends largely on
the condition of the roots. If you are
sure the tree has been transplanted with-
in two or three years you can move it
now; if not, wait until early spring.

RED SPORT

NACEO

The New Bread and Butter" Red Carnation.

Gen. Maceo Carnation is known the country over as the most prolific, healthy and easiest doer, with the hardiest constitution of any
Carnation that was ever introduced. We hav* a brilliant " Orane " Ked Sport of tliis variety, now in its fourth year, that retains
all the characteristics of the old variety except color. OrowinK aide by side, it will be noticed that BBD BFOKT has a little stiSer stem, a
larger flower and a heavier growth than the old variety.

WHAT WE CLAIM FOR "RED SPORT."

BBD 8FOBT will produce as many blooms to the square foot
of bench room as any other variety, of any color, ever introduced.

BED BPOBT is an early and continuous bloomer that pro-
duces its heaviest around the Christmas holidays and during the
Winter months when reds are in demand.

BED SPOBT does not split: in fact we have never seen a
split calyx on it.

Every bloom is of a brilliant "Crane" red color, just the shade
to show to best advantage under artiflcial light.

It will travel farther and keep longer than any other red to
date. Blooms shipped to Chicago have kept a week in perfect
condition after they were received.

BBD SPOBT is not large enough to be classed as a fancy,
but the color, form and stem are all so good that it sells at sight.

This variety brought 16.00 per 100 all last January in Washing-
ton City.

The flower with ordinary culture is 2% to 3% inches across, on
wiry stems, 18 to 20 inches in length, that well support the bloom.

The Plant makes no superfluous grass, is an upright grower,
and can be planted close.

BBD SPOBT is perfectly healthy, and is entirely free from
all forms of disease.

BBD SPOBT is highly recommended, without exception, by
every florist who has seen it growing.

Do not take our word for it; come and see BED SPOBT
growing and be your own judge. We are only an hour and a half
out from Washington on the Uluemont Division, Southern Railway,
with four trains each way daily. Write, 'phone or wire and our
carriage will meet you at station.

We have a large stock from which to select cuttings, and every
cutting sent out will be grown cool, and rooted wltbout bottom
beat, and will make a good healthy plant.

AS we are offering a strictly commercial variety, suited to the
need of the average florist, or grower who wants a red that will
produce good bloom in paying numbers in the Winter months, we
propose to offer it at a popular price, that will enable the grower
to buy it in quantity.

PRICE FOR JANUARY, 1905, DELIVERY (Orders filled in strict rotation.)

18 for $1.60, postpaid; 26 £or $8.60, postpaid; 60 for $1 00, postpaid; 100 for $6.00;

DISEASED PALM LEAVES.

Kindly state the name of the insect
or (liKea.se of palm and what is its
cause, from being planted out all sum-
mer? What is the remedy? I. W. G.

A portion of a leaflet from a palm, ap-
parently a phoenix, accompanied this
query, and an examination of the speci-
men shows that the plant is affected by
tho phoenix fungus, Peronospora Phoe-
nixa% a trouble that is not uncommon
with these plants.

This is one of those fungi that makes
its growth within the tissues of the leaf
and frequently escapes notice until such
time as the spore-bearing branches of
the fungus appear above the surface of
the. leaf, as shown by the leaflet for-
warded. Tn all probability the plant in
question was affected by this fungus be-
fore it was planted out, but the com-
paratively cool and damp summer ha^>
favored the growth of the fungus and its
ravages are now more clearly shewn.

There is no absolute cure known to the
writer, but careful culture, including a
less quantity of moisture on the foliage
during the winter, plenty of fresh air
and a night temperature of fiO degrees
will tend to strengthen the plant and
ehwk the fungup. W. H. Taplin.

A Grand Pink Carnation
Ligliter in Color than Lawson

With no cerise or magneta shadings. A color that
withstands the brightest sun's rays without the object-
ionable shadings or bleachings at the edges of the
petals. The true merits of this variety are summed

ANNOUNCEMENT

WE TAKE PLEASURE IN ANNOUNCING THE

New Carnation^Fred Burki

Which Will be Disseminated in 1905 — Commencing in January.

Ug^^gi Riir»|/i ^ ^^ result of a cross between Lawson and a seedling of much merit; the latter beinj; the seed parent. It S
r I ti^CI DUI HI possesses all the |;ood qualities to induce the most conservative growers to include it among best wfiites. |

HERE ARE A FEW OF ITS MERITORIOUS POINTS:

lat. The blooms come perfect and uniform, aTeraglDR 3
to 3}i inches in size.

2d. Tbe stem measures from 20 to 30 inches, being stiff and
erect and resembles that of Lawson.

3d. It never crops, but yields continuously from Novem-
ber until July.

4th. Tbe calyx is perfect; showing no tendency of
bursting.

Sth. Its keeping qualities, a point not to be overlooked,
are second to none and eqnal to the best.

Sth. It transplants easily and roots like the proverbial
weed.

Those who saw it growing are unanimous in declaring the FRED BURKI the ideal white in every respect. It
scored 88 points at the Detroit Carnation Convention, receiving a certificate of merit. Don't hesitate placmg your
order for FRED BURKI. It will prove a good investment.

PBICE— $12.00 per lOO; flOO.OO per lOOO. 250 at lOOO rate. Orders filled strictly In rotation.

The flowers

B. K. & B. Floral Co., Richmond, Ind. Joliet, 111., Oct. 15, 1903.

_ Gentlemen:— We now have two blooms open on the plants which we have
of Richmond Gem, which were sent ua for trial. Of course, you understand
it is very hard to judg:e a carnation with but six plants. From the appearance of
the blooms now, we would not class it as a fancy carnation, but we are very
much impressed with the habit and growth of same, also the long: stifl stems,
and think it will be a free bloomer. The bloom is a little undersize but the
form is ^ood. and the color is all that can be asked for in a scarlet. At the
present tune we consider Estelle the best scarlet in the market, as it is a free
bloomer, and cannot be beaten for color, being a better color than Adonis,
and judging the Richmond Gem, we will take Estelle as a standard. The
color of the Richmond Gem is equally as good as Estelle, but we think it will
give more blooms than Estelle. the habit is better and the stock is equally as
healthy, and in fact, more so, as it is not mclined to rust. I wish you would
send us, upon receipt of this, six of the best blooms you can pick of the
Richmond Gem, that we may compare them with the two we now have. The
writer expects to visit Richmond soon and see it g^rowing, and if it impresses
us as favorably as it does now, we will place an order for lU.OOO.

J. D. THOMPSON CARNATION CO.

The B. K. & B. F. Co.,'Richmond, Ind. Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 15, '04.

Gentlemen:— We fee", confident that your Richmond Gem will become
one of the standard commercial varieties as soon as it is generally dissemi-
nated. As a commercial scarlet it certainly ia superior to anything we now
have. The color could not be improved upon, and in freedom it is ahead of
anything we know of. You ought to have no trouble in selling all that you
can supply. BAUR & SMITH.

B. K. & B. Floral Co.. Richmond, Ind. Hartford, Conn.. Jan. 18, 19(M.

Gentlemen:— As to the result of the trial of six plants of Richmond
Gem you sent me. I have to say that when housed the third week in July they
made rapid growth and, while topped once after benching, the first flower,
measuring two and one-half inches, was cut September 25. Since then there
has been no let-up in the production of blooms. Habit of plant is ideal, stem
just right to carry the flower gracefully, while the color, to my mind, surpasses
anything yet produced in scarlet It has been a pleasure to watch its behavior,
and from experience can unhesitatinKly say that you are warranted in recom-
mending Richmond Gem to the trade as a strictly first-class commercial
variety. GEO. S. OSBORN.

B. K. & B. Floral Co., Richmond. Ind. Lancaster, Pa. Tan. 16, 1904.

Gentlemen:— The plants of Richmond Gem you so kindly sent me for
trial made fine plants in spite of the most unfavorable season I have had since
embarking in business, thus showing great vitality and vigor as a grower and.
although they had this set-back in the field, they have made a good crop of
good flowers, and the color is much more desirable than most of the scarlets
offered for our investment. The flower in siie is not a 4-inch one but it is
of fair size and promises to produce four flowers to one as compared with most
of the extremely large flowered sorts. ALBERT M. HERR.

B. K. & B. F. Co.. Richmond, Ind. Cincinnati, O., July 25, 1'.KM.

I want to say to you that your Richmond Gem scarlet carnation is the
best keeper and best seller of any carnation of a commercial sort I have ever
handled, of fine color, splendid calyx and stem. I predict for Richmond Gem
a large sale. E. G. GILLETT.

Cut flower trade is improving every
(lay. Some fine mums are to be seen in
the first-class stores.

Blackistone has a very fine display of
orchids in his window which is artisti-
cally decorated with cork bark.

Greo. Cook has a fine display of Far-
leyense fern at his Connecticut avenue
store.

A. Gude & Bro. are cutting, as usual,
fine Beauties and are busy with wedding
decorations, filling up with funeral work.
They had their opening in the new store
in the new Gude building, 1214 F street,

AND NUMEROUS DIPLOMAS
AND CERTIFICATES OF MERIT

The beauty and value of this new fern to be introduced Spring of J905, can best be ap^
preciated by seeing it. It is a sport from the Pierson Fern (Nephrolepis Piersoni), but it is very
much more beautiful and of greater commercial value. It is as different from the Pierson Fern
as that is from the Boston. The small side pinnae are again subdivided, producing an exquisite
and beautiful effect, changing the entire character of the fronds, which measure less than half
the length and about twice the breadth of the fronds of the Pierson Fern. The fronds also
assume an entirely different form, the side pinnae standing at right angles to the mid^rib of the
frond, on edge rather than flat, as is usual, making both sides of the frond equally beautiful —
entirely different from any other fern.

The plant is very dwarf, only about half the height of the Pierson Fern, and of very much
more compact habit. Taking it altogether, it makes one of the most exquisite plants and one
of the most valuable for table and house decoration that has ever been introduced. The cut
fronds, on account of their beauty, will be in great demand for table decoration, design work,
and for use in boxes of loose flowers. Well'grown plants make most magnificent specimens.
We think there is nothing in the fern line that is so handsome as this beautiful fern when well
grown. It is a wonderful improvement over Nephrolepis Piersoni in every respect, both in re^
gard to beauty and habit of growth.

We will be glad to mail full description, etc., to our friends who do not have the opportunity of seeing this Fern. We shall
have plants to offer, not only in small sizes, but also in large specimen plants in 6, 8 and 10-inch pans. Prices on application.

HEALTHY
MUMS

Health is the foundation of all success. So a it in' Chrysanthemum Culture.
^^^^^^^^ Most florists could improve the quality of their cut by starting: with healthy
stock* Chrysanthemums deteriorate rapidly g;rown inside the year 'round,
especially so if stuck under a bench in winter. Realizing; these facts we have for
some years applied the remedy— field culture for stock plants. We select the
healthiest plants bearing; the finest flowers, then transfer some of the young; stock
into the field where plenty of room, clean culture, broad sunlig;ht, pure air and
unlimited root action will build a constitution. Our stock plants are then chosen
from the field, thus securing; healthy mums. Wintered cool and in full sunlig;ht,
our stock is really pedig;reed and toned up.

a trip to Columbus. — But enoug;h said about our quality ; herewith our bill of fare:

SCOTTII

THAT THE PRICE ASKED IS VERY REASONABLE. ALL FLORISTS
WHO HAVE PURCHASED, HAVE SO EXPRESSED THEIR OPINION.

TO INTRODUCE

Nephrolepis Scottii

To more customers, florists who have not yet seen the fern, I make this
special offer. I will sell one plant of each size at the following prices, and
will also prepay the express charges:

4-inoli $O.BO I 7-inoh $2.00

6-lBoh 1.36 I 8-inch 3.00

lO-lnoh 95.00

One plant, or one of each sise only, will be sold under these conditions.

I make this offer in order that those who are unfamiliar with SCOTTII
can see and judge for themselves, that there is no comparison between this
fern and any other variety of Nephrolepis, for commercial and decorative
purposes. SCOTTII has at least four times as many fronds per plant in
any size pot as any other commercial Nephrolepis that was ever introduced.

committee of award of the club visited the establishment of John Scott, at Flatbush, N. T., on October 6, for the purpose of
inspecting the stock of bis new fern, NEPHROLEPIS SCOTTII. Seven members of the committee attended, also the president and
vice-president of the club. The initial exhibit of this fern was made at the rooms of the club at the November meeting. 1903. The com-
mittee which examined it at that time was so favorably impressed by it that they unhesitatingly awarded it a certificate of merit, and
did not ask to see it growing; a request to examine the stock was only recently sent to the club by the exhibitor. The committee made
a thorough examination of the stock both in pots and in the bench, and character. It was growing in all sizes from plants in 4 inch
pots up to specimen plants in tubs, and it was absolutely uniform, and were highly pleased at its condition form in all grades, the char-
acteristics of the large specimen plants being evident in the smallest specimens on the place. The most careful scrutiny failed to
discover any tendency whatsoever toward reversion, and it seems as if the character of the plant is absolutely and indelibly fixed. It is
in essence a condensed form of the Boston fern, with valuable characteristics added, which are not evident in the parent. Your commit-
tee took an average plant in an 8-incb pot and found by actual count that there were 200 fronds in it, not counting the undeveloped and
small ones which were in the center of the plant. The fronds of the plant in question averaged about 20 inches in length and three inches
in width at the widest point; the pinnae are very closely set. so that they overlap, making a more finished frond than the parent. The
plant in question had a spread of three feet. Plants in 4-inch pots showed a spread of 18 inches and a height of 10 to 12 inches.

The committee was unanimously of the opinion that it is a most valuable introduction, and that it will become a plant for the florists
to grow universally. It has a crispness and hardness about it which is superior to the parent, and which is one of its very valuable
characteristics. It propagates very freely, and because of the fact that its character is established in the smallest size, it should find
ready sale in all grades. After a thorough examination, your committee unanimously agreed that it was worthy of the bighest award
by the club and therefore voted that it be awarded the silver medal of the club, and herewith recommend same for your approval.

In awarding it the GOLD MEDAL, the COMMITTEE OF AWARDS at the St. Louis World's
Fair, said of NEPHROLEPIS SCOTTII : " A sturdy. Dwarf and compact form of NEPHROLEPIS,
very symmetrical and handsome, either in small plants or quite large ones. A great acquisition,
with excellent qualities as a house plant. Worthy of Ctold Medal."

CHRYSANTHEMUMS.

STOCK PLANTS.

HEALTHY
NUIVIS

Health is the foundation of all success. So is it in Chrysanthemum Culture.
'^^~~^~' Most florists could improve the quality of their cut by starting; with healthy
stock. Chrysanthemums deteriorate rapidly grown inside the year 'round,
especially so if stuck under a bench in winter. Realizing these facts we have for
some years applied the remedy field culture for stock plants. We select the
healthiest plants bearing the finest flowers, then transfer some of the young stock
into the field where plenty of room, clean culture, broad sunlight, pure air and
unlimited root action will build a constitution. Our stock plants are then chosen
from the field, thus securing healthy mums. Wintered cool and in full sunlight,
our stock is really pedigreed and toned up.

Mr. Grave, of Richmond, Ind., said: This bench of Estelle alone is worth
a trip to Columbus. But enough said about our quality ; herewith our bill of fare:

m^SCOTTII

THAT THE PRICE ASKED IS VERY REASONABLE. ALL FLORISTS
WHO HAVE PURCHASED, HAVE SO EXPRESSED THEIR OPINION.

TO INTRODUCE

Nephrolepis Scottii

To more customers, florists who have not yet seen the fern, I make this
special offer. I will sell one plant of each size at the following prices, and
will also prepay the express charges:

4-inch $0.50 I 7-inch

6-inch 1.25 I 8-inch ..

lO-inch

One plant, or one of each size only, will be sold

$2.00
3.00

$5.00

iinder these conditions.

I make this offer in order that those who are unfamiliar with SCOTTII
can see and judge for themselves, that there is no comparison between this
fern and any other variety of Nephrolepis, for commercial and decorative
purposes. SCOTTII has at least four times as many fronds per plant in
any size pot as any other commercial Nephrolepis that was ever introduced.

A BUSINESS PROPOSITION.

All the talk of there being enough
glass to supply the demand for cut flow-
ers, particularly in the middle west, sim-
mers down to a plain business proposi-
tion. One man of experience who had
not previously owned his own place fig-
ured it out that by growing Beauties
there were wages, interest on the invest-
ment and a good profit to be had. So
last spring he put up a range covering
16,500 square feet. He used a little over

400 boxes of glass because he built high
houses and spared no reasonable expense.
The result was that his place stood him a
little over $9,000, but he had room for
some more houses and heating capacity
to double his plant. He benched 8,000
Beauty plants. There are growers who
talk about returns of $1.25 a plant, but
this man's experience leads him to count
on from 70 to 90 cents as the return in
an ordinary season with $1 in an excep-

tionally successful year. At 70 cents it
will give $5,600 for expenses and profit,
and at 90 cents $7,200, which should make
it a good business proposition. Interest
on the money invested may be figured at
$540. Expenses, of course, will vary with
the severity of the winter. The net ought
to pay for an addition to the glass next
year which can be operated at little addi-
tional expense and will still further im-
prove the investment for a careful, capa-
ble grower.

NAMES OF FERNS.

I enclose tbe fronds of two ferns of
which I should be glad to have you
give me the names. F. J. U.

The Maidenhair fern frond is that of
Adiantum gracillimum, a very beauti-
ful member of the cuneatum group that
was introduced about the year 1875.
This fern comes true from spores, and
is useful as a cut frond where deli-
cate greenery is required, but is not
largely grown commercially.

The second specimen is a frond of
Nephrolepis davallioides furcans, a fern
that makes an admirable specimen in
an 8-inch or 10-inch pan, a strong-
growing variety that may be well grown
in company with the Boston fern, and
one that finds a ready market with
many growers and decorators.

W. H. Taplik.

KEEPING HARDY FERNS.
"Will some of your readers kindly give
the best method of keeping common hardy
cut ferns all winter. J. M.

Pack the ferns in boxes of about 2,000.
with fresh, damp sphagnum moss top and
bottom and around the sides. Have
some holes in the boxes. Put into cold
storage at 28 degrees. L. B. Brague.

ASTERS IN ENGLAND.

Annual asters have of late year? ac-
quired so high a degree of popularity in
the markets as to induce cultivators for
commercial purj>oses to largely extend
the area devoted to them. It is esti-
mated that upwards of 5,CM)0 acres have
this year been devoted to their cultiva-
tion for the production of blooms for
sale in a cut state. They have been
largely cultivated by growers in touch
Nvith the seaside towns, where their flow-
ers find a ready sale during the late sum-
mer months at remunerative rates. The
colors most popular are white, pink and
purple, and the bold, loosely arranged
blooms of the Comet varieties meet with
more favor for decorations than those
of a more formal shape, but for the mak-

It Stands Alone !

BaHE MOREHEAD RETURN TRAP is the only mechanism which insures an
BB absolutely perfect circulation in g^reenhouse heating: coils, t : : t t : : : : :
^^ The saving: in fuel during the first winter it is used more than pays for the cost
of installing; Trap — and the saving; g;oe8 rig;ht on year after year* .* *. / *. / *. .*

THE GEO. WITTBOLD CO., CHICAGO, SAY :

" Regrarding the Morehead Return Trap recently sold us. we wish to say it is doing its work so well, and we feel so
Rratefol in having found an apparatus that returns the condensation to our steam boiler without any attention on the part of
fireman or engineer, that we gladly offer our name as reference to our fellow florists who are in need of an apparatus of this
kind. We hope many will avail themselves of the apparatus."

Repeat orders from the Wlttbold Co. bear testimony to their continued satisfaction.

THE DETROIT (MICH.) FLORAL CO. WRITE:

" The Morehead Steam Trap we are using for returning condensation to boiler has proved a success in every way. the
saving in fuel paying the cost of the trap in a very short time. It can be seen working at our place at any time by anyone
wishing to do so. We are getting a great deal more heat from our pipes now than we did before using it."

GEO. REINBERG, CHICAGO, STATES HIS EXPERIENCE AS FOLLOWS:

" I am in receipt of the No. 1 Morehead Return Trap. This makes two traps I have bought from you— both give elagent
satisfaction. Your trap takes care of the condensation without giving it any attention, whatsoever. A steam system with
your trap is the same as a hot water system where no pumps or traps are needed.'

Peter Reinbers^'s opinion of the Trap will be found on page 1119 of the October
27th issue of the Review. If you did not read it, it will pay you to look it up.

Kleinhans & Mason are breaking
ground for an addition to their plant to
be completed by early spring, for rose
growing. They already have 4,500 feet
of glass, with the stock looking very
good, and axe producing carnations and
other stock for a rapi^y increasing de-
mand. They will also force some let-
tuce this winter and grow a large stock
of vegetable plants for spring sales.
Their location is a good one for a busi-
ness in hardy plants and they expect
to develop this feature in the near fu-
ture. When building last spring they
provided heating facilities for consid-
erable more glass.

THE MOST MONEY—

To get the most money out of your business you must produce
the best stock at the lowest possible expense. Are you sure there is
no waste in your business? Are you sure every one of your methods
is the cheapest as well as the most effective?

The best stock isn't always the most costly to produce. It's more
often in doing the right thing at the right time. And that's what

THE FLORISTS' MANUAL, By william scott,

keeps you posted on. Itis a $10 book for $5, and the best investment you
can possibly make, no matter how large or how small your business.

WOOD ASHES.

This IS practically the only American
source of potash tnat is abundant enough
to be of any commercial importance as
a fertilizer, and this supply is now so
limited as to restrict their use. Potash
in wood ashes is in the most valuable
form of the carbonate. Wood ashes, be-
sides furnishing about five per cent pot-
ash, also contain one to two per cent
of phosphoric acid and thirty to thirty-
five per cent of lime, which are also
valuable as fertilizers. The quality of
ashes varies considerably with the kind
of wood used to produce them and the
care with which they are preserved. The
difference in quality is so great without
any change in appearance that the only
safe way to purchase is upon guaranteed
analysis.

Good wood ashes which have not been
exposed to the weather or otherwise wet,
such as may be described as house ashes,
weigh about forty-eight pounds to the
bushel and carry about eight per cent
potash and two per cent phosphoric acid.
Canada unleached wood ashes as sold by
the carload are rated at forty-five pounds
to the bushel and run from four to six
per cent of potash and about one per cent
phosphoric acid. Leached or weathered
ashes are much less valuable, as they con-
tain only one or two per cent potash.

SPARTANBURG, S. C

Chas. A. Moss, the only florist in this
city, had a large wedding decoration on
October 20, using 1,500 chrysanthemums,
700 carnations, 300 tea roses, fifty Beau-
ties, 600 valley, fifty cattleyas, fifty
strings of smilax and ten cases of south-
ern wild smilax. It was the finest job
ever seen in this section of the country.
He had the church and house. Mr. Moss
has about 7,000 feet of glass and grows
quite a good deal of outdoor stuff. Mrs.
Moss is his assistant and a good one.
O. A. C. Oehmler, from "Washington, was
down to assist on the wedding job and
took a stroll through the cotton fields.
He predicts a great future for Mr. Moss.
There has been no rain in this section
for nine weeks.

I WOULD say that many of the ar-
ticles in the Review are of great value

• PAINT ON GLASS.

What is the best material to take
paint oflf glass? I want to clean the
north side of a fern house, white lead
paint that has been on all summer.

C. U.

Put two tablespoonfuls of lye (pot-
ash) in an ordinary pail of water. Tie a
a bunch of rags on the end of a pole
and saturate with the solution. Bub
the rags on the glass and it will loosen
the paint. You should have a helper
with a good stream of water from a
hose to wash the glass clean as quickly
as the paint is loosened. Next time you
wish to shade don 't use oil with the lead.
Use white lead and naphtha. If you
wish the shade densely mix it thickly.
If only a light shade is desired, then use
less lead and more naphtha. W. S.

MR. VANDERLIP'S FORECAST.

Frank A. Vanderlip, vice-president of
the National City bank, of New York,
made an interesting forecast of business
conditions in an address before the Illi-
nois Bankers ' Association at St. Louis the
other day.

He made his reputation as a prophet
two years ago in an address to the bank-
ers at Wilmington. Then he deplored the
financial extravagance and overcapitaliza-
tion, and foretold a bursting of the
bubble. It was a note of warning, and
the country had good occasion to recall
his words soon afterwards.

In his speech of last week Mr. Vander-
lip sounded no similar warning. He
sees in the industrial and financial con-
ditions of today only the prospects of
continued improvement and another
period of trade expansion. He showed
the increase in the total wealth of the
country, the stock of money, the mineral
and agricultural products, the steel out-
put, and the staggering increase in the
export trade, which, as he said, "made
economists seriously to consider what was
to happen to the rest of the industrial
TTOrld if this march of progress went
on." It is to be hoped that Mr. Vander-
lip will continue to live up to his reputa-
tion as an accurate financial prophet.

HiE ABOVE CUT shows a vase of BENTHEY'S WHITE with flowers from
four to five inches in diameter, and stems from thirty to forty inches in length.
These two varieties will produce more first-class salable flowers than any Aster
now in commerce. They are pronounced by both grower and consumer THE FINEST
ASTERS EVER SEEN IN CHICAGO, and were the FAVORITE ASTERS IN THE CHICAGO
AND ST. LOUS MARKETS the past season. Read what some of the prominent Florists say:

"The Asters received are a fine lot — the best we have
ever seen." JOHN BREITMEYER'S SONS,

Detroit, Mich.

"We have handled the Benthey Asters in large quan-
tities the past season and found it the best seller we nave
ever handled, and sold at double the price of any other
variety in the market." P. J. HAUSWIRTH,

Chicajfo, 111.

"It is the best Aster I ever handled both for cut flow-
ers and design work. Hope you will have more next
season, as I know the demand will be great."

J. J. BENEKE, St. Louis, Mo.
"We have seen the New Benthey Aster, and consider
it the best in the market. When you are ready to place
the seed on the market kindly inform us, as we are anxious
to grow some next season." NANZ & NEUNER,

Louisville, Ky.

THE CHICAGO EXHIBITION

'SiMiMilBiJiiiii

Perhaps it was because Chicago had
no show last year and everybody missed
it that the response of the exhibitors
was so liberal this year. At any rate
the thirteenth exhibition of the Horti-
cultural Society of Chicago was shown
to be unlucky in one respect hours be-
fore the doors were opened to the pub-
lic. Manager George Asmus began to
realize it long before the work of stag-
ing the exhibition had begun. He had
one of the handsomest halls in the
United States in which to display the
wealth of exhibits which were placed
in his hands, but it was a hall very in-
adequate to the needs of the occasion.
It is in reality four halls, one of them
in the Fine Arts building and the other
three in the Auditorium Hotel. Had
the splendid banquet hall been twice or
three times its actual size it would have
been none too large for the best display
of the very large amount of material.
As it is, and with the best arrangement
which it would be possible to suggest,
the space left for visitors is far short
of what it should be and the exhibits
are already so crowded that much of the
effect is lost. What it will be later in
the week when carnations and floral ar-
rangements are added to the display
which was already on the tables Wednes-
day evening, one can only surmise. The
indications are that the display of car-
nations will be the largest ever seen at
any exhibition other than the annual
meeting of the American Carnation So-
ciety.

Tlie private establishments re-
sponded more liberally this year than
heretofore, Mrs. iPuJlman, Martin A.
Byerson, Arthur Orr, E. G. TJihlein, H.
G. Selfridge, John J. Mitchell and
others sending large quantities of dec-
orative plants, chrysanthemums, etc.
Mr. Selfridge 's group of orchids is a
marvel, easily the finest ever seen in

the west. H. W. Buckbee, of Eockford,
and Vaughan staged some very fine
large chrysanthemum plants. John
Scott, of Brooklyn, brought a splendid
exhibit of Nephrolepis Scottii and a
splendid group of pandanus, etc. The
class for fifteen geraniums in not over
10-inch pots brought out three very fine
exhibits. Lorraine begonias were never
before so well shown in Chicago. J. A.
Peterson also set up some fine plants of
Begonia Turnford Hall, a white sport
of Lorraine, and there was a handsome
group of Nephrolepis Piersoni elegantis-
sima. Lincoln park also staged a large
decorative group and there are many
other smaller exhibits. All of these lose
in effect by lack of room for their
proper display. And it is a fact that
the manager declined with thanks fully
half the decorative stock which was
offered him.

The cut blooms of chrysanthemums
were mostly staged in a room by them-
selves at the south end of the main ex-
hibition hall, but this, too, was inade-
quate to the needs of these classes and
some of the handsome large vases were'
scattered through the other rooms. The
quality of these exhibits was as a rule very
good, but they lose in effect by crowd-
ing and the visitors are bruising them
by brushing against them in -the narrow
passage ways. The class for 100 blooms
brought out several very fine entries,
including Timothy Eaton of immense
size and Mrs. Jerome Jones of superb
finish.

The attendance started in very satis-
factorily. The show is on the tenth
floor of the buildings, but the elevator
service is entirely equal to all require-
ments and the fact that the exhibition
is far above the street level does not
seem to have any deterrent effect.
Should there be, however, anything like
the large attendance at the World 's

Fair Flower Show in the later days of
the week the space will be inadequate

Chrysanthemum Plants.

A-

For one specimen plant H. W. Buck-
bee was first for pink, with a fine
plant of W. Duckham, second for white,
yellow and best in the show, Vaughan's
greenhouses being first on all these, also

one flowered varieties. Vaughan was
second on pink and Martin A. Ryerson,
John Keardon, gardener, second on
"any other color."

For three and five standards Vaughan
was first and Buckbee second, but the
additional premium for the best plant
entered in the two classes was given one
of Buckbee 's. Vaughan was first for
five specimens, with Buckbee second, for
five specimens single varieties and for
ten specimen plants. Buckbee was first
for twenty-five single stems and M. A.
Byeraon second. Vaughan was first for

f;roups of chrysanthemums arranged

Wednesday's Awards.

On Wednesday the exhibits were shift-
ed and some of them removed to make
room for the roses and table decorations
of chrysanthemums. The latter were for
display only, no premiums being award-
ed, and the result of this plan was the
best showing of this very attractive fea-
ture seen in some years. The exhibitors
were, Joseph Curran, W. J. Smyth, O. J.
Friedman, John Mangel, S. Muir and C.
A. Samuelson.

The awards for roses were as follows:

Twenty-five Beauty, Poehlmann Bros,
first, Peter Reinberg second.

Forty Libferty, Peter Reinberg first,
Wietor Bros, second.

Forty Golden Gate, Poehlmann Bros,
first.-

Forty Kaiserin, Peter Reinberg first,

E. G. Hill Co. for Rose Richmond, for-
merly known as Etna.

A certificate of merit was given the
E. G. Hill Co. for Rose Rosalind On-
English.

The attendance on Wednesday taxed
the capacity of the halls. ^- Early in the
afternoon one of the elevators fell sev-
eral floors but none of tne passengers
was injured.

THE BUFFALO SHOW.

The H. A. Meldrum Co. 's show was
all that we expected it to be, perhaps not
larger 'in quantity of blooms than last
year, but in novelty and quality of flow-
ers it was far ahead. We were gratified
to see an increase in exhibitors from a
distance. Among them were Nathan
Smith & Son, Adrian, Mich., and "VS. J.
& M. S. Vesey, of Fort Wayne, Ind. R.
Vincent, jr., & Son, White Marsh, Md.,
sent a large lot of pompons. We think
they were field-grown and were not as
bright and clean as those of Smith & Son,
which, of course, were grown under glass.
We were also very glad to see these
plucky firms sending so far capture the
majority of the premiums in the classes
they entered. If it were not for these
expert growers sending their superb
flowers we should be inclined to think we
were the only people on earth and our
local florists should be grateful to the
enterprise that affords them a sight of
the latest varieties and to what perfec-
tion they can be grown.

Everything went off smoothly. Charles
H. Keitsch, who has worked for months
to make the show a success, did not let
up until the last moment on Saturday
and Mr. Siler, the advertising agent of
the H. A. Meldrum Co., and to whom the

firm largely leave all details of the show,
was continually with the boys and mak-
ing things pleasant generally. Messrs.
Bell, Crowe and Cowell did their judg-
ing carefully and well and no dissenting
voice was heard. There was a gQod
sprinkling of florists from near-by towns
and on Thursday evening a spread was
served at which about thirty sat down,
about half of whom were visitors, which
made it all the more enjoyable. W. F.
Kasting presided.

One more feature to be thankful for : On
Friday, the day the show was complete,
the firm gave as a conservative estimate
of the number of people who ascended
to the fourth floor to see the mums, as
20,000. So in the four days the number
must have been at least 50,000. After so
many things to be thankful for, includ-
ing the presence of Elmer D. Smith and
Judge Vesey themselves, we can stand a
trifle of criticism. The first can't very
well be helped in such a building. It
was much too warm and the great crowd
made it still warmer. More space and a
lower temperature is needed. The next
regret could be helped, and that is the
comparatively weak competition among
the local florists. It is not easy to say
why this is. True, there are many small
jjrowers who do not attempt to grow any-
thing like exhibition flowers, but there
are at least half a dozen growers who
could have entered who did not. And in
the baskets and 100 blooms arranged for
effect another half dozen retailers could
liave come in. Any one of these local
artists will tell you, and they believe
themselves, that they are unapproachable
as designers, that their "work" is al-
ways superior to the fellow's down the
street. If it's pure indifference that
keeps them away, then they are foolish
and selfish. If it's because they are
afraid of being second to some other fel-
low, then they lack the true sportsman's
spirit. Perhaps it's so in every city,
more's the pity.

Now I am aware that except locally
it's of little interest who captured the
jirizes, so I will boil it down as much as
possible.

In the clasg confined to growerB within fifty
miles of Buffalo, C. F. Chrlstenson, of Eggerts-
vllle, took first for fifty white and for fifty
pink, second for twenty-five white and for
twenty-five pink. David J. Scott, of Corfu, sec-
ond for fifty white, third for fifty yellow, first
for twenty-five white, second for twenty-five yel-
low, first for twenty-five pink, first for twenty-
five "any other color." Wm. Ehman, of Corfu,
was first on fifty yellow, third for twenty-five
white, third for twenty-five yellow, third for
twenty -five pink, second for twenty-five "any
other color." The Wm. Scott Co. took second
for fifty yellow and for fifty pink, first for
twenty-five yellow.

In the open classes Nathan Smith & Son took
first for fifty white with Convention Hall, beat-
ing out mammoth fiowers of Nellie Pockett;
second for fifty yellow, second In display of 100
blooms In twenty-five varieties, first In fifty
blooms varieties of 1904, first In fifty blooms
varieties undlsseminated, first In display of
pompons. W. J. & M. S. Vesey were third on
fifty white, first on fifty yellow, second on fifty
pink, second on 100 blooms arranged for effect,
first on two vases of carnations, 200 blooms.
William Scott Co. took second on fifty white,
third on fifty yellow, third on fifty pink, first
on fifty "any other color," third on 100 blooms
twenty-five varieties, second on fifty blooms of
1904, first 100 blooms arranged for effect, first
on handle basket chrysanthemums, second on
dinner table decoration, first on twenty-five
blooms Wm. Duckham. Charles Sandeford.
gardener to J. J. AUbright, was first on dis-
play of 100 blooms In twenty-five varieties,
second on handle basket of chrysanthemums,
second on 200 carnations, first (sliver cup) for
basket of fiowers other than chrysanthemums,
first for collection of plants. Gunnar Tellmann
was first for fifty pink and second for collection
of plants. Wm. Ehman was second for fifty
blooms "any other color." Charles H. Keitsch
was third on 100 blooms for effect, first for
dinner table, second on twenty-five blooms Wm.
Duckham. second on 100 American Beauties,
first on 100 red roses (Meteor).

Wm. Kasting captured first on 100 American
Beauties, first on 100 white roses (Brides), sec-
ond on 100 pink roses (Killarney). second for
red (Beauties). J. Breltmeyer's Sons, Detroit,
won first for 100 pink roses (La Detroit). C.
Peake, Buffalo, won second on handle basket,
third on 100 American Beauties.

Now I haven't given the varieties ex-
cept in a few cases, but it was very evi-
dent the judges went for the more com-
pact flowers of distinct color, for in-
stance old Viviand-Morel beat out poor
colored Duckham and Dr. Enguehard.
Colonel Appleton beat out F. S. Vallis,
General Hutton and Thirkell. Convention
Hall, by its pure whiteness and perfect
form, won over some grand Nellie Pock-
ett and unripe Eaton. Old Maud Dean
was first in fifty pink over Duckham and
Mrs. Coombes. The heat was against the
large loose flowers and a little wilt
counted against them. We still think
Wm. Duckham is a wonderful varietv

and there were some grand flowers grown
locally. W. S.

THE NEW YORK EXHIBITION.

At this writing the New York exhibi-,
tion, under the auspices of the managers
of the American Institute, is progressing
and it is safe to say that never before
has such an exhibition been held in this
city, if anywhere else in the country.
The quality in every section is sai>erb and
the number of competitors in every class,
and more particularly in the chrysanthe-
mum cut flower clase^, is i^enomenal.
Many of the classes ealliai^ for vases of
ten or six blooms have from tea, to fif-
teen competitors and the quality in ev-
ery instance is of a caliWs that would
easily score first at an^ shotr in. tbe
country. All the principal exhittttors in
the east are represented. A. Herrington
was the king of the classes calling for
fifty blooms in one vase, scoring first for
fifty, any variety, with fifty Appleton,
every flower of which was perfect. The
same exhibitor was first also for fifty
flowers in three kinds with Appleton,
Eaton and Chadwick, and again for
twenty-five blooms yellow, with Yellow
Eaton. For twenty-five white A. Her-
rington won the award with Eaton; for
twenty-five pink with Mrs. Barclay; for
twenty-five any other color with Lady
Roberts (one of the most striking vases
in the hall) ; and for twenty-five any new
variety the same exhibitor was first with
W. R. Church.

This latter variety was also shown in
splendid condition by Wm, Turner, Geo.
Hale, Thos. W. Head, W. Duckham and
Wm. Kleinheinz and judging by the ad-
miration it elicited from the general pub-
lic, there should be a commercial future
for this variety.

The prizes for ten flowers and six
flowers of a variety, of which there were
some sixty classes, were divided very
evenly between the gentlemen just men-
tioned, with Robt. Allen, gardener to
E. C. Benedict; Samuel Riddel, garden-
er to Mrs. F. A. Constable, and Howard
McNichol, gardener to Geo. E. Rand,
Esq., also included ; some four or five first

prizes also falling to James Fraser, gar-
dener to O. H, Kahn. The class of six
yellow won by Mr. Allen contained i^rob-
ably the largest flowers in the show, the
variety being Mrs. Thirkell. They were
truly enormous, as were also the bellow
Mme. Carnot exhibited by Mr. Riddel.

Other magnificent vases through these
classes were Mary Inglis from Wm.
Duckham, Merza from Wm. Turner, Geo.
Hale, Guy Hamilton; W. R. Church
from Thos. W. Head which scored him
first in several classes and the Apple-
tons and Batons from "Wm. Kleinheinz.
The date was too late for the \ariety
Wm. Duckham to De shown very largely,
though James Fraser easily scored first
in the pink section with flowers of the
largest size and most perfect finish. This
variety must be taken on an August
crown bud, when it develops splendidly.
Those growers who complain of its show-
ing an eye, have in every case taken
terminal buds.

A few of the earliest of the birds of
passage from the St. Louis show that
got home Saturday morning, threw up
their hands when they saw the cut ;,iums
and declared that the western exhibition
was not in the race at all.

The novelties for next year were not
largely shown, though a vase containing
blooms of Mrs. W. Duckham, Mrs. D.
v.* West, J. H. Doyle, J. H. Sils-
bury, Dora Stevens and Merstham
Red were much admired. The prizo win-
ners in the chrysanthemum cut flower
classes are enumerated elsewhere in de-
tail and space forbids any more extend-
ed mention here, but I must say that it
was the best lot of flowers I ever saw in
an exhibition hall.

In the classes for hardy chrysanthe-
mums'grown in the open, the number of
vases shown would alone have filled a good
sized hall. R. Vincent, Jr., of White Marsh,
was the principal exhibitor and prize
winner. John N. May and Thos. Meehan
& Sons also exhibiting largely. Mr. Vin-
cent made application for 500 feet of
space and the display he made was a
riot of colors that drew great applause
from the artistic element in the audience.
As shown by Mr. Vincent the hardy sec-
tion of the chrysanthemum is a most
beautiful one and great credit should be
given him for his enterprise in bringing
from Maryland such an immense tollec-
tion. It is one thing to see pompon and
anemone chryanthemums represented by
one or two sprays in a vase or growing in

scattered clumps around a dwelling house
and quite another thing to see them rep-
resented as shown by tlie Vincent firm
set up in great masses and apparently
endless variety. It is almost absurd to
pick out individual varieties, though the
following caught my eye more particu-
larly in scanning the exhibit. Northum-
berland, Conestoga, James Boon, Joppa,
Hamlet, Sunset, Lady Percy, Orange
King, Arizona, The Czar, Ontario, Mer-
met, Annie Eliza and Sheridan.

There were some eighty specimen
chrysanthemum plants in the hall, bush
and standards, and they were all of the
highest quality, such growers as Peter
Duff, D. F. Roy, Robt. Marsh:Jl, J.
Schaffer and Herbert Dumaresq all be-
ing represented. Mr. Schaffer, gardener
to Richard Mortimer, was the largest ex-
hibitor, having some thirty plants, his
specimen standards of Dr. E'nguehard
being particularly fine. Peter Luff, gar-
dener to J. Crosby Brown, had two
splendid bush plants in A. J. Balfour and
R. Hooper Pearson, both of which won
prizes. D. F. Roy had Theo, The Bard,
Black Hawk, Hooper Pearson and Garza,
all in wonderful shape, the latter plant
carrying over 900 developed flowers. Wm.
Anderson, gardener to Herbert Dumar-
esq, had Arethusa and Mrs, C. B. Free-
man as his best plants and Robt. Mar-
shall, gardener to E. W. Converse, set
up Louis Boehmer and Mrs. F. A. Con-
stable wonderfully fine.

Plants in 6-inch pots were well shown
by Peter Duff, Thos. W. Head and oth-
ers, Mr. Duff's Merza showing his ex-
pert skill to the highest degree. Whether
shown as a pot plant or cut flower, Mer-
za was invariably the finest white in tne
show.

The rose classes were not so well filled
as some of the others, though the quality
was excellent. For twenty-five tea scent-
ed white and twenty-five pink, L. A. Noe
and Charles H. Totty were first and sec-
ond in each class with Bridesmaid and
Bride, L. A. Noe also coming first for
American Beauties.

In carnations several novelties were set
up. Guttman & Weber's Victory is a
splendid scarlet and also the red John E.
Haines. A. B. Jenkins, gardener to Geo.
"Van Qualen set up a new seedliug of
Melba Cook with round flat petals. The
color is a lovely , pink and this variety
has probably come to stay. Regret was
heard that Fiancee was not represented,
though the introducers are probably busy

enough taking care of the western shows.
. Violets were not represented in any
large quantity, though the Hudson river
men, as usual, managed to capture every-
thing in sight.

Orchids, were shown in immense quan-
tity and variety by three prominent
growers^ Messrs. Lager & Hurrell, Julius
Roehrs and Siebrecht & Sons. The first
named were awardad first for the collec-
tion having some sixty species, Cattleya
labiata alba, Cypripedium insigne San-
deroB and other scarce kinds making a
beautiful showing. Julius Roehr's exhib-
it was particularly noticeable for im-
mense sprays of Oncidium varicosum,
Vanda Coerulea and Cattleya Dowiana.
Siebrecht & Sons showed among other
choice things some of the finest Cattleya
labiata I have ever seen.

Any one of these exhibits was worth
teii times the value of the prize and could
not be seen outside of New York.

In the classes for groups, single speci-
men palms, bay trees, etc., Julius Roehrs,
J. Lewis Childs, J. H. Troy, Bobbink
& Atkins, Siebrecht & Sons, F. R. Pier-
son Co. and several other eastern cracks
were largely represented and it goes
without saying that the quality was Al
in every instance.

In the Collections of crotons, dracajnas,
Lorraine begonias. Rex begonias, etc.,
Roehrs, J. L. Childs and Siebrecht &
Sons were largely to the front.

In the class for conifers in pots or
tubs, Bobbink & Atkins, J. H. Troy, Ju-
lius Roehrs, Wm. A. Moon Co. and Sie-
brecht & Sons were all extensively rep-
resented and these exhibits formed mag-
nificent backgrounds for other clasres of
lighter colored material.

The fruit exhibits were a show in
themselves, Ellwanger & Barry, of Roch-
ester, alone filling a table fifty feet long
with apples, not to mention pears and
various other fruits. There were much
laiger exhibits in this line than I had
before seen in J^ew York and they were
uniformly fine.

Grapes grown under gTass were a spe-
cial feature and resulted in much argu-
ment and discussion as to who should get
first prize. Four entries that were the
finest in quality were from Charles S.
Smith, J. P. Sorensen, gardener, and J.
D. Smith, Thos. Harvey gardener; Mrs.
F. A. Constable, Samuel Riddel, g.arden-
er, and Mrs. O. Hoyt, William Slack
gardener. The first prize, I believe, was
finally given to J. D. Smith.

General View of the Exhibition of the American Institute, New York, November 10-17.

Table after table was filled with \ege-
tiibles some thirty-six classes being de-
voted to this section and the classes were
well filled in every instance, cauliflower,
parsnips and celery being particularly
fine.

J. M. Thorburn & Co., the seedsmen,
had an immense exhibit of vegetables with
their new potato, Noroton Beauty, as a
star attraction. Farm crops in the line
of cereals, seed and root crops took up
coEsiderable space and were a great at-
traction to the farmer element among
the gathering of the clans. This exhibit
received a silver medal.

In the line of s|>ecial exhibits all the
novelties seen at the various exhibitions
throughout the country were to be found.
John Scott had a splendid group of Scot-
tii and also a very handsome exhibit of
his salable sizes of draceenas, palms, etc.

F. R. Pierson showed the new sport

from Piersoni and also a large collection

of palms, ^.folwige plants and cut cbrys-
anthemui

The "^inods Florist Co. had an ex-
tensive display of Japanese dwarf plants
which attracted much attention.

Thos. De Voy & Son, of Poughkoepsie,
showed flowers of their new geranium
Telegraph which seems to be in a class
by itself.

John N. May showed pompon chrysan-
tbemums. Arthur Boddington had a
fine sample of all kinds of bulbs raid J.
L Childs, of Queens, had very large ex-
hibits of palms, foliage plants and nov-
elties of all descriptions. A grafted
chrysanthemum from Vau^han's Seed
Store gave the daily paragrapher his
chance to work off the old .ioke i>bout
"pulling the show for grafting."

F. Weinberg, of Woodside, L. I., had
a large collection of cactus and they
sold well as a novelty. There were sev-
eral novelties in carnations already spok-
en of, and doubtless many other things

that did not catch my eye, as the exhibi-
tion was an immense one and covered a
good deal of space.

Dr. Hexamer and his corps of Hssist-
ants deserve every credit for" the get-
ting together of such an exMbitiop. It
was most attractively laid "out, _wlth.
broad walks to permit of easy handling
of large crowds of people and the hall
was handsomely decorated.

The judges in the chrysanthemum cut
flowers and plants were Eugene Daille-
douze, Charles H. Totty and Wm. Scott.

In the groups, roses, carnations, vio-
lets, etc., Jas. T. Ballantyne, F. Morton
and J. T. "Withers. The list of prizes in
detail would fill a volume. B. B.

The seventy-third annual show of the
American Institute taTces the palm from
any of its predecessors." In fact, it is very
doubtful if a better exhibition has ever
been given in this country. It closes on
Thursday of this week, with a record for
extent, beauty and perfection of arrange-
ment unequaled, and a record for attend-
ance that will go down in history as a
discredit to this city and for which there
is no possible excuse. A prize list of over
$3,000, with medals, certificates and dip-
lomas unlimited, with a generous dis-
tribution of thousands of complimentary
tickets and a unique booming, of its mer-
its by the city papers; all were as effect-
ive as the proverbial "poujing of water
on a duck's back." No better hall for
the purpose can be found in the country.

Many out of town visitors, a nost of
market gardeners and some experts in
carnation growing were on hand, many
of them daily. J.^H.-.Troy added much
to the * ' filling ' ' with Jemon trees, bamboo,
anonymous evergreens ' and kentia«. J.
,H. itL Cook had his hive of busy bees
and an abundance of honey, which some
of the wholesalers tested often. The
Springfield Moulding Works showed a

practical portable greenhouse that was
voted a good thing. Arthur T. Bodding-
ton's display of bulbs and orchids was
the only independent exhibit of its kind.

The banks and benches of palms and
decorative plants of John Lewis Childs,
Julius .Roehrs,.JF. R. Pierson Co.,_Sie-
brecht & Son have never been excelled.
The orchid displays of Lager & Hutrell,
Roehrs and Siebrecht were all of', the
highest quality and variety. Noe's and
Totty 's roses and DeVoy & Son's violets
were of the first class and Weber 's, Nye 's,
Allen's, May's, Haines' and Guttinan &
Weber's carnations the center of admir-

Glorie de Lorraine and his new Tam-
ford Hall were superb. Weinberg exhib-
ited ^50 varieties of cacti, a most cred-
itable display. Robert Craig oc Son 's
new mum. Baby, is a pretty novelty.

Fraser, Herrington and . Duckham, of
Madison, as usuual, captured much of the
first prizes in mums, and deserved them.
Your chrysanthemum expert has told you
all about it.

The Hinode Co. showed a bank of Jap-
anese plants, ranging from 1-inch pots to
veterans several centuries of age. John
Scott had a grand bank of Scpttii and
one of palms and decorative plants, es-
pecially some fine dracajnas and Pandan-
us Veitchii. The F. R. Pierson Co. also
had a grand bank of plants, palm'i, con-
ifers, etc., as well as a fine exhibit of
Piersoni elegantissima. Bojbjjink & : At-
kins had an immense assortment of coni-
fers and evergreens of every size and de-
scription and W. H. Moon Co. showed
a fine display of the same. [

R. Vincent, Jr., & Son were her^ in

included over 200 varieties, all named,' the
whole contribution being the ^ best -ever

WORLiyS FAIR FLOWER SHOW.];

Inclement weather for three days
• caused the World's Fair Flower Show
to fail of the great financial success,
hopes of which the very large attend-
ance on the first two days had raised
in the management. The opening day
saw almost 6,000 paid admissions, the
second day over 7,000 paid admissions,
but on Wednesday there came a down-
pour of rain which reduced the attend-
ance to only 2,000, and the weather
■ changing to very cold and raw, the rec-
ord for the succeeding days was below
that of the opening day, until Saturday,
when there was the largest attendance
of the week. The total comes very
close to, if it does not wholly equal,
the total of premium moneys and ex-
penses, so that no one identified with

the association feels other than satisfied
with the result.

Chief Taylor expressed the pleasure
of the exposition management at the
drawing powers of the flower show, which
he said wei"e fully up to their most san-
guine expectations and he felt had done
much to bring the Department of Hor-
ticulture into the light in which it should
stand before the public. He felt that
the success of the show had done much
to secure for horticulture the considera-
tion which it should receive at the hands
of any other body of men planning a
great industrial exposition.

The visiting judges at the show,
Messrs. Herrington and Duckham, ex-
pressed both surprise and gratification at
the extent of the exhibition. Mr. Her-
rington said: "The extent of this show
is something surprising. It is the great-
est which it has been my pleasure to at-
tend. We in the east stage specimen
chrysanthemum blooms of higher perfec-
fection, but seldom in greater quantities
and the display of roses is something
which was never approached by a No-
vember exhibition in the east. It eclipses
all eastern records, not only the num-
ber of entries but in the general quality
of the exhibits. And the same thing
might be said of carnations."

Mr. Duckham, the newly elected pres-
ident of the Chrysanthemum Society,
said : * * The extent of this exhibition is
beyond the very great expectations raised
in me by the reputation for energetic
action which has been earned by the
gentlemen who conceived the idea of this
show. The number of exhibits and the
size of the exhibition hall are in per-
fect accord and the arrangement is one
which reflects the greatest credit upon
the manager. This is the most effective
display of cut flowers which I have ever

Chrysanthemum Majestic at the World's Fair Flower Show.

visited and I have nothing but praise
for the roses and carnations."

Manager Hauswirth had his own
troubles in providing for the arrange-
ment of the great quantities of material.
One of the pleasures of the exhibition,
however, was the keeping qualities which
all exhibits showed. Nearly everything
was in a surprising state of freshness
when the exhibition closed on Saturday
night. Particularly noticeable was this
in the class for 100 blooms of Ameri-
can Beauties. There were seven entries
in the class where quality alone counted
and four entries in the class where ar-
rangement was considered. This made
1,100 Beauties staged at one time, prob-
ably the greatest number that was ever
seen at any other exhibition, and all
were fine. Some of the flowers came
froin as far away as Tarrytown and
all but one vase remained in perfect
condition throughout the week.

One of Mr. Hauswirth 's difficulties
was in securing vases for the staging
of such a large amount of stock. It was
necessary to purchase papier-mache pots
for the smaller material and for the big
vases 12-inch vitrified sewer tiles were
used, with one end sealed with cement.
It was a happy idea and solved a most
perplexing problem in the most satisfac-
tory manner. Nothing better could have
been asked.

On Thursday the interest centered in
the many good seedlings exhibited and
the growers gained many good points.
On Friday floral arrangements were
shown and some first-class work staged.
The awards announced subsequent to
the publication of the Review last week
were as follows:

Final Awards.

Thursday was seedling day. There
were three contestants for the silver
cup for the best new rose, the award go-
ing to Etna, exhibited by the E. G. Hill
Co. This is the new red, a rival of
Liberty. The same firm also exhibited
Rosalind Orr English and the Minne-
apolis Floral Co.'s light pink was also
shown. The above varieties were also
judged for certificates, with Joseph Hill
and Mildred Grant and Shellem's Seed-
ling. Etna was the only variety scored
to the requisite point.

There was a large showing of seed-
ling chrysanthemums, including both
American and imported varieties. The
silver cup for the best variety not yet
in commerce was awarded to Nathan
Smith & Son for No. 42-2-02, a beauti-
ful white flower, but it had not stood
very long when it showed signs of a weak
neck. The K G. Hill Co. was given
a certificate for a white seedling and
for Souv. de Calvat Pere, exhibited in
the class for "any other color."

The E. G. Hill Co. was also given cer-
tificates for P*refet Boncourt,^ white;
Mile. Anna Debono, cream white, and
Mme. Emile Lemoine, pinkish white.

Fred Dorner & Sons Co., Lafayette,
was given a certificate for No. 12, an
incurved yellow which looks good.

There was a good showing of novel-
ties for the silver cyp for the best fifty
blooms of a carnation not yet in com-
merce. The award went to Fiancee, as
did a certificate in the class for light
pink seedlings. In red Victory was cer-
tificated, scoring 86 points after hav-
ing come from Long Island, N. Y. Bas-
sett & Washburn exhibited a scarlet
seedling. No. 10, which many thought
highly of, but it scored only 83 points

at the hands of the judges, being de-
ficient in form. It is practically a scar-
let Lawson.

There were four magnificent vases of
100 Beauties staged arranged for effect.
The premiums aggregated $250 and were
awarded to P. J. Hauswirth, F. C.
Weber, W. L. Eock and Bassett & Wash-
burn in the order named. The winning
vase, while entered in the name of P.
J. Hauswirth, was really the work of his
son, Ed, and was his first attempt at
competition. Peter Eeinberg furnished
the Beauties. Weber's flowers came
from Poehlmann and Kock's from Joseph
Heacock, Wyncote, Pa.

There were three fine vases in the
class for 100 mums arranged for effect,
F. C. Weber winning with White Bon-
naflfon from Poehlmann. W. J. & M.
S. Vesey were second and W. L. Kock
third. In the class for fifty blooms in
not less than ten varieties W. J. & M.
S. Vesey were second; no first.

On Friday floral arrangements were
in order. Two baskets of roses were
shown, F. C. Weber getting first with
a basket filled with Poehlmann 's Chate-
nay, rather too many flowers but other-
wise very good. W. L. Eock was sec-
ond with a basket of Sunrise.

W. L. Eock was first on basket of car-
nations, using a low basket with Poehl-
mann's highly colored Lawson and
Sprengeri, a splendid effect. Fred H.
Eowe, Joliet, 111., was second with a
high-handled basket of Fiancee.

F. H. Eowe was first, W. L. Eock sec-
ond and F. C. Weber third for bride's
bouquet, each using valley and Eock
introducing some white orchids. Mr.
Howe's bunch was the only one with a
shower. Bertermann Bros., of Indianap-
olis, sent a bride's bouquet which ar-
rived too late; it quite likely would have
made a difference is the awards.

H. N. Bruna was first and A. Jurgens
second on valley. Both are Chicago grow-
ers.

Eli Cross, Grand Eapids, put up a
very fine large display of violets, in-
cluding Marie Louise, Campbell, Cali-
fornia and Swanley White, and was
awarded first prize. Wm. Winter, of
Kirkwood, was third; no second awarded.

W. L. Bock was second for vase of
longiflorum lilies, Schray & Sons third;
no first.

In class 69, fifty blooms yellow car-
nations, which had previously been over-
looked, first was awarded to the Chicago
Carnation Co., for Herrington's seedling.

J. A. Peterson, Cincinnati, was highly
commended for Pandanus Veitchii. He
had a new white * begonia, a sport from
Lorraine, entered for a Shaw medal, over
which the lady visitors and the judges
disagreed. Wriile the latter gave it no
recognition the ladies paid it fully as
much attention as the pink variety.

The Missouri Botanical Garden was
highly commended for Ehapis flabelifor-
mis.

P. Mauriqne was specially mentioned
for collection of cacti and a special
award of $25 was recommended for A.
C. Grenier^ for cacti.

A protest was filed in class 18, twenty-
five bloodis chrysanthemums in twenty-
five varieties and the second and third
premium Collections, belonging tp E. G.
Hill Co. and Breitmeyer's Sons respec-
tively, •vtpre diequalifled, as they con-
tained rfiji^seminated varieties. This
gave second Jo NAthan Smith & Son and
third to wT J. & M. S. Vesey.

In class 19 a protest was filed and E,

Rose Richmond (formerly Etna.) of the E. G. Hill Co.
(Vase which won the Silver Medal at the World's Fair Flower Show.)

G. Hill Co. disqualified because their
collection of twelve varieties contained
seedlings. This advanced H. W. Buckbee
to first. Smith & Son withdrew, -as by
error they had included two blooms of
the same variety, and didn't want to be
disqualified. W. A. Chalfant was thus
advanced to second and W. J. & M. S.
Vesey third.

In class 58, for 100 light pink car-
nations, a protest was made that the
judges had disqualified Gibson Beauty
as i^ot belonging in that color. The ex-
ecutive committee sustained the protest
and ordered rejudging, which did not
change the awards.

The exhibits were all scored for
World's Fair awards, L. E. Taft, the
chairman of the department jury, assist-
ing in the work. These awards cannot be
announced until after confirmation by
the World's Fair authorities.

V(rious Notes.

John Bertermann discovered that
there were no cyclamens in the show and
wired home for a dozen plants. They
arrived on Friday and attracted no little
attention.

E. T. Grave, Richmond, Ind., sent ex-
hibits in several classes for 100 carna-
tions. The boxes were in a wreck on
the Vandalia and did not reach the ex-
hibition hall in time for staging for com-
petition. The quality of the blooms,
however, won many compliments.

An exhibit which received little at-
tention at the hands of trade visitors
struck the greatest response from the
public. It was the grafted chrysanthe-
mum, which was the center of a wonder-
ing crowd all through the week. The
8t. Louis newspapers gave it space and
several of them commented on it edito-
rially. One paper remarked that "Gov-
ernor-elect Folk visited the flower show
yesterday and looked with equanimity
upon this evidence of graft, the only
time in history when he had been known
to fail to raise his voice in protest."

It was a pleasure to many to see good
old Viviand-Morel win out in the class
for 100 pink mums over two good en-
tries of William Duckham. Certainly the
Veseys know how to grow that old
standby.

John Breitmeyer's Sons thought they
had their share of the honors in first
for White Lawson and first on 100 white
mums with Majestic, which is to be in-
troduced next season, with Adelia, both
of which varieties they purchased of H.
W. Eieman, of Indianapolis.

A. J. Guttman came from New York
to set up his carnation, Victory, in the
seedling classes. It is a very fine scarlet
in color and Mr. Guttman will see the
benefit of his expedition westward in
the orders which will result.

H. G. Selfridge, of Lake Geneva, Wis.,
came down to participate in the show,
bringing his gardener, C. H. Gebbardt,

and a fine collection of orchids. They
were awarded first prize for their dis-
play of plants and special mention for
some seedlings.

Bad counting and a failure to label
some of the exhibits cost several exhib-
itors a chance at the big premiums. In
the class for 100 Beauties there were
seven entries but two were short count.

Of the St. Louis boys Messrs. Koenig
and Meinhardt deserve special mention
for the way. they stuck by the job from
beginning to end.

Nearly all the exhibits were sold to
St. Ijouis florists, Messrs. Weber and Os-
tertag being large purchasers of plants.

THE PHILADELPHIA SHOW.

The specimen chrysanthemum plants
and those in the larger-sized pots in-
cluded many old and some new varieties
of merit. Among the best were Meraa,
white, very fine; Wm. Duekham, laven-
der, which seems a good, all-around
sort, though a trifle soft for cut
flowers, and Major Bonnaffon, yellow,
a very fine specimen. In groups A. J.
Balfour was very well done. Mutual
Friend, white, Peter Kay, yellow, and
Geo. "W. Childs, red, are seemingly still

blooms were Nellie Pockett, Bigelow,
L(Td Salisbury, Rustique, Mile. Liger,
Yellow Eaton, La Fusion, Mrs. E.
Thirkell, Lucy Evans, Queen Alexan-
dria, J. Falconer and M. Inglis.

The geraniums considered worthy of
a plaoe at the head of the main stair-
way were Mary Beston, white; Andrew
Lang, red; Mrs. Chas. Nolan, salmon;
AlphoBse Ricard, red; Mark Twain,
Gertrude Pierson, pink; Marquis De
Castellane, salmon, and Cyclops, deep
color white eye.

The decorative plants were a very im-
portant feature of the display. The
F. R. Pierson Co., Tarrytown, captured
the society's gold medal for their im-
proved Piersoni, a very fine thing.
Thos. Long maintained his reputation
as a skillful fern grower with many
fine specimens. John Thatcher showed
some splendid decorative plants, in-
cluding many rare specimens. The
.Henry A. Dreer group on the stage
also contained, besides well-grown com-
mercial plants, many novelties and
species not often seen outside the
largest private collections. To name
all these would be superfluous. The
specimen dracspnas were, however,
worthy of special note.

Cattleya Labiata Shown at Philadelphia by Julius Roehrs.

The Wm. Graham Co. exhibited a new
trailing chrysanthemum with yellow
flowers of pompon size, with good foli-
age, brought from their place at Olney,
quite a curiosity which may be very
useful in decorative work. Jno. N.
May, Thos. Meehan & Sons and^H. A.
Dreer showed good collections of pom-
pons.

The rose exhibit brought out strong
competition in the Beauty class. Geo.
Burton was easily first with twenty-
five splendid blooms. Leo Niessen was
greatly pleased with this success. "I
think," he remarked to Phil, who stood
near at hand, "that will look very
well on the front page of the Review."
The Liberties from Edw. Towill were
excellent, while the Kaiserins from i^.
& H. Mergenthaler showed high cul-
ture, as did their Brides and Maids.
Two new claimants for popular favor
were Wellesley, a soft pink from the
Waban Conservatories, Natick, Mass.,
and Thos. Field, a La France-like pink
from Geo. Field, of Washington, D. C.
A pretty plant of the new Baby Ram-
bler attracted much attention.

The feature of the carnation display
was the new bright red seedling Robt.
Craig, from the Cottage Gardens Co.,
Queens, N. Y., which captured the Craig
cup for the best variety not yet dis-
seminated. Fiancee, from the Chicago
Carnation Co., attracted favorable com-
ment. Cardinal, from the E. G. Hill
Co., Richmond, Ind., was too late to be
judged. It is a handsome flower, color
as implied by its name, an improved
Estelle. The carnation exhibit as a
whole was unusually fine for this sea-
son of the year, the quality of bloom
and length of stem nearly equaling the
February standard.

The attendance was ex<;ellent through-
out, including many visitors from out
of town. The arrangements reflect
great credit on Mr. Rust and his as-
sistants. The judging was conscienti-
ously and carefully done.

The Awards.

The following were the awards on chrysan-
themum plants:

J. F. SInnott, Gordon Smirl gardener, was
first on six plants In six varieties, on two
plants In two varieties, on specimen plant new

Anne Thomson, on four plants In four varie-
ties, on three plants In three new varieties,
on three plants, yellow. In three varieties;

the best of their color, though 8. T.
Wright, red, reflexed orange, is a finer
flower and makes a very showy plant.
In the classes for plants in 6-inch pots
grown to single stems Merza, Nellie
Pockett and Neville showed great size
and substance. Minerva, Yellow Eaton,
Col. Appleton and Gold Mine w«>re also
good. John McCleary won first with
Cheltoni, lemon yellow; Dr. Engue-
hard, pink; S. T. Wright, classed as
red, and Wm. Duekham. Besides the
prize winning group of F. Ib))otson
mentioned last week, other noteworthy
cut blooms were Eatop, white and yel-
low, Col. Appleton, Viviand-Morel, an
old favorite, and Brutus, terra cotta,
a very large flower with splendid foli-
age. This variety was also very eflfec
tive grown to single stem. Bright-
hurst, a seedling of pleasing pink color,
was shown for the first time. There
were two plants of Marion Henderson,
one with eighty-six, the other with
eighty-nine blooms, trained to resemble
an oval plateau. Other well-grown cut

mum blooms were as follows: Yellow,
Pantet &, Co., first with Calvat's Sun;
J. H. Krone, Jr., second with Appleton;
for pink, Nathan Smith & Son, Adrian,
Mich., first, Pantet & Co. second, each
with Duckham; white, I*antet & Co, first
with Silver Wedding, James Morton,
Clarksville, Tenn., second with Eaton;
bronze, James Morton first, Pantet & Co.
second; for fifteen blooms, "any other
color, ' ' Pantet & Co. first with Mrs. Rog-
ers and second with "Waldeck Ko8seau.
They were also first for anemone varie-
ties.

James Morton had the best standard
and the second best single stems. Pantet
& Co., the best bush plants. J. H. Krone,
Jr., also had a good exhibit of single
stems.

Priece, D. J. Kerrigan, gardener, took
first and second with A. J. Balfour and
Viviand-Morel. William Swan cap-
tured first for white with Eaton, J. M.
Masury taking second for same variety.
Shrimp ton was the winner for reds, M.
W. Pierce and W. B. Walker, Thomas
Jack, gardener, being the exhibitors.
The society's silver medal for the best
display of cut blooms went to William
Swan. The silver cup for the best
twelve plants in not exceeding 10-inch
pots was captured by J. N. Black, Axel
Magnuson, gardener.

Mrs. H. L. Higginson, J. Clark, gar-
dener, had the best Campbell violets,
S. V. E. Crosby taking second. The
Misses Loring, Cornelius Murray, gar-
dener, led with Marie Louise and C. D.

D F. Roy's Plant of Chrysanthemum Garza, 800 Flowers.

The largest bloom in the show was
Mrs. Thirkell, exhibited by Pantet & Co.,
beating Morton's Timothy Eaton. For
twenty-five blooma of any colors Vaugh-
an's Seed Store was first, Smith & Son
second, James Morton third.

For American Beauty roses James
Morton was first, C. C. Pollworth Co.

second. „ , - „

J H Krone, Jr., was first for collec-
tion of' ferns, Pantet & Co. for palms,
begonias and potted plants.

The carnation exhibits included two
very fine lots from JoUet, 111. The Chi-
cago Carnation Co. sent a splendid vase
of Fiancee and the J. D. Thompson Car-
nation Co. sent seven varieties, of which
Gibson Beauty attracted most attention,
but Lady Bountiful was highly thought
of by all trade visitors.

MANCHESTER, MASS.

The enterprising gardeners of the
North Shore Horticultural Society held
their annual chrysanthemum show in the
Town Hall on November 10. The ex-
hibition was admitted to be far the
best the society has vet held and the
quaUty of the exhibits was excellent
throughout. It will soon be necessary
for the members to seek more com-
modious quarters if the number of ex-
hibits continues to increase.

The prizes in the plant classes were
divided between Miss A. G. Thayer, J.
McGregor, gardener; Mrs. E. C. Hoop-
er, Wm. Swan, gardener, and J. Jm-
Masury, Thomas Waldic, gardener. For
vase of yellow chrysanthemums on long
stems William Swan won with fine Ap-
pletons, J. M. Masury being second with
the same variety. For pink M. W.

Sias, J. Pater, gardener, for Princess
of Wales. Mrs. H. L. Higginson was
in the lead for collection of violets. C.
D. Sias had the best Bride and Brides-
maids roses and was second for "any
other variety" with Golden Gate, Wil-
liam Swan being first with fine Ameri-
can Beauty.

C. D. Sias was first for Lawson and

Enchantress carnations and second for
white and "any other variety." J. N.
Black led for white with excellent Gov-
ernor Wolcott and for a vase of mixed
varieties and M. W. Pierce had the
winning collection of carnations.

Miss A. G. Thayer received a certifi-
cate of merit for a fine table of cut
blooms and W. B. Walker, Thos. Jack,
gardener, a similar award for group of
foliage and flowering plants.

For twenty-five specimens palms,
foliage and flowering plants arranged
for effect, William Swan won with a
fine assortment which included some
fine seasonable orchids. J. N. Black
had the best specimen fern and a spe-
cial prize offered for best specimen
plant went to H. L. Higginson, J, M.
Masury being second. Fred Jackson
had the finest collection of winter vege-
tables. The exhibition was well at-
tended, many of the prominent North
Shore residents being among those
present. W. N. Craig.

ORANGE, N. J.

The tenth fall exhibition of the New
Jersey Floricultural Society was held
November 4. It was greatly regretted
bv the throng which filled the rooms from
six until nearly eleven that the display
had not had the larger hall which its
merit justified and that the afternoon had
not been used. Several of the patrons of
this one promised to help provide better
accommodations another year. The num-
ber of entries of flowers necessitated the
display of vegetables and fruits being
placed in a room by itself and the wide
field from which the exhibits were gath-
ered showed the growing influence of the
society.

Pre-eminently a chrysanthemum show,
the blooms and plants were of the high-
est order, yet the display of orchids al-
most eclipsed the autumn queen. The
very fine exhibit of Henry Graves occu-
pied an entire table. That from William
Barr also occupied the greater pert of
another table, the two being separated by
a stand bearing the large vase of oama-
tions from the Colgates which received

Carnation Robert Crai£.

a first prize. John Crosby Brown's ex-
hibit of trained and standard chrycsanthe-
mums rose from a mass of single stems
in 6-inch pots remarkable for their uni-
formity. Some of these had captured
six prizes at Madison only a few days
before. These masses of color were re-
lieved by the magnificent specimen plants
of William Eunkle.

The exhibit of orchids from Lager &
Hurrell was particularly interesting, com-
prising plants amounting to over $1,000
in value.

Other trade exhibitors were John E.
Haines, Bethlehem, Pa., who sent a good
new red carnation named for himself and
a fancy, Imperial; Swan Peterson, Gib-
son City, 111., who sent two carnations,
Gibson Beauty and White Swan; John
N. May, who sent a collection of pom-
pons, and Hale's Flower Store, Orange,
which exhibited Maud Dean and White
Maud Dean chrysanthemums. Each was
given an award.

CHRYSANTHEMUM SOCIETY.

The proceedings of the second annual
meeting of the Chrysanthemum Society
of America, at Herald Square exhibi-
tion hall, New York, November 13, 1903,
have been received. It is a pamphlet
of 136 pages, containing also the Elmer
D. Smith list of varieties of chrysan-
themums. After the name of the variety
is given first the name of the dissemi-
nator, then the name of the originator
and the year in which disseminated. Mr.
Smith states that he is certain that sev-
eral of the many varieties have been
omitted and a request is made to for-
ward data as to these to Secretary Fred
H. Lemon, Richmond. Tnd.. that the rec-
ord mav be made complete, but from an
inspection of the list it would appear
that Mr. Smith has covered the ground
in a very comprehensive manner.

Preparations for Propagating.

As December approaches we shouid, in
order to obtain success, begin prepara-
tions for the propagating season. To
obtain stock from varieties which are
new or scarce we should take cuttings
.just as early as we can get them, so as
to increase our stock without punishing
the plants too severely, and this can be
done by having part of the propagating
bench in readiness to receive cuttings as
they mature. By having the bench
ready, I mean having the house thorough-
ly clean from the ground to the roof,
the benches in good order, pipes tested
and ventilators adjusted.

Whatever material is to be used as a
propagating medium should now be
secured and stored, so that when required
it may be handy. Pit, river or lake
sand which contains no decomposing ele-
ment is a safe and sure medium and
can be used by the most inexperienced
with good results, so long as it remains
clean and fresh. I am frequently asked
if it is safe to use the sand for a sec-
ond batch of cuttings and if there is
not danger from bench fungus arising
from such a practice t This depends a
good deal on the quality of t^e sand,
' the condition of the house and the tem-
perature at which the house has been run
during the rooting of the first batch.

I have frequently, for lack of mate-
rial, been forced to "use the same sand
for three successive crops and have had
to record no failures which coul 1 be
attributed to this fact, while with some
mediums which looked equally promising
there was failure on the first tri-il.

With a sand which will give off no

J 326

mud in washing there is little danger
of having fungus with a first crop and
if the house is run at a temperature
of 50 degrees, with the temperature of
the sand 12 degrees higher, with the
requisite amount of ventilation necessary
to keep the air sweet, there is no dan-
ger iu running a second or even a third
crop. Of course a good deal uepends on
whether the drainage is perfect, but if
this is not as it ought to be there will
bo more or less of a failure with the
first crop and the sand will be ruined
for use for a next crop.

As the only use of sand or other me-
diums is to retain sufficient moisture to
nourish the cutting until root forma-
tion has taken place and that only in
such quantities as the size of the cut-
ting demands, any other medium, such
as charcoal, marble dust or the screen-
ings of coke, which possess no poison-
ous or decomposing matter, are safe if-
they possess the quality of retaining the
moisture for a sufficient length of time
without becoming sour.

Cleanliness in the propagating house,
both in regard to the house itself and
ia regard to ventilation are absolutely
necessary, as many of the ills which in
after life afflict the rose are acquired
ill the cutting bsnch, either through a
poor material being used as a medium
or ignorance (if the laws of watering
and ventilating.

That nothing may be wanting in the
propagating house the question of shad-
ing should be attended to before the
season begins. In far too many places
the old method of shading with news-
papers is still in vogue. This, at best,
is but a poor makeshift, troublesome
and uncertain, as the slightest puff of
wind is apt to disarrange the papers and
bring all of our efforts to naught, while
at the same time the very fact that they
encourage condensation and prevent a
free circulation of air shows us that this
is not conducive to the health <)f the
cutting or to quick root formation.

Shading, to be effective, should be re-
moved sufficiently far from the surface
of the bench that the air can circulate
freely and should be so arrangeil that
it can be removed as soon as the sun
ceases to shine on the bench, as cuttings
which are rooted in a continual phade
are always more weakly than those which
are shaded only to protect them from
suffering from too intense sunshine.

Any style of house or aspect is suit-
able for propagating purposes, so long

as the interior arrangements of shad-
ing, conserving the* heat under the
benches and ventilation apparatus is
perfect. The rest depends on the qual-
ity of wood used, the care exerciseil in
making, inserting and in the general
after treatment, in fact on "tho man
behind the gun."

As the propagating season advances I
will endeavor to give a few hints week-
ly and will try to describe the latest
methods of this act which will also in-
clude the newest and most successful
methods of propagating by grafting.

KlUES.

MARKING PLANTS FOR STOCK.

The grower of violets, like the grower
of any. other j)lants, always lias to bo
looking aliead and planning for tiio next
season, and in doing so it is, in our
opinion, always best to plan for the
maximum, rather than the medium or
minimum quantity of plants desired.
Espei'ially does this apply to stock plants
of all kinds for filling the houses. It
i« much better to have a large quantity to
choose from and much better to have a
surplus to sell than to run short and to
have to purchase, even if the stock you
buy is equal to your own. But our ex-
perience is that boughten stock i3 never
up to the quality of our own; in fact, we
find it the rule, with very few exceptions,
that we always have to breed up and
acclimate, as you might say, all kinds of
stock that we buy and sometimes it takes
two or three years to get it up to an ac
ceptable standard. Therefore, as I start-
e 1 out to say, it is time to estimate how
many plants you will need next year, and
at once commence to mark the best
plants of those that you expect to take
stcck from ; otherwise when you are ready
to take cuttings you will not know vhich
arc the plants that have proven tiic best
all the season and up to that time. Later
Oil nearly all the plants will begin to feel

the infiuence of the coming spring and
will put on a growth that looks nice and
proves deceiving as to their real worth
a.^ workers at a time when you want them
to work most.

In marking your ' ' pedigree ' ' stock
from now on, select the plants that in
every way are the best, with plenty of
large, strong foliage and that show the
largest crop of flowers for the holidays,
also taking into consideration the qualitv
as well as quantity of the blooms, full
big flowers and fragrant. Have a bunch
of labels handy, near the door of each
house, so that every time you go through
the house you can mark the good plants.
If you do not follow some such method,
the days are likely to slip by until it gets
too late to tell which are really the best
plants. E. E. Shuphelt.

CARNATION NOTES -EAST.

Keeping Qualities.

Whether a retailer or wholesaler of
his product, the reputation of turning out
bloom of. good keeping qualities is a
valuable asset to any grower. While it
is true that all does not rest with tHe
giower, it lies with him to form the
foundation of a lasting bloom. If all
efforts arc made to accomplish this re-
sult there need be no fear of slow sale
or low prices, and should any complaint
arise the true cause of trouble is easily
traced.

Assuming that you are following up-
to-date cultural methods and the plants
are responding with a yield of prime
blooms in goodly numbers, it must not
be thought that care and vigilance end
here.

It is as much to place the blooms on
the market as it is to grow them. One
must harvest the crop properly and
handle it intelligently in order to pre-
serve the enduring qualities.

Do not let the bloom fully develop
on the plant. Cut when about three-
quarters out, when you will not only
further the end in view but reduce the
drain on the plant. Always use a sharp
knife and make a smooth, slightly slant-
ing cut. It is preferable to perform
the work early in the morning, before
the sun has exerted any influence on the
plants.

Have vases filled with fresh water be-
fore starting in and when fifty or less
are cut plunge the stems immediately in

water. This is important, since if kept
exposed to the air very long after being
severed from the plant the exuding sap
becomes dry, searing over the cut and
preventing the free passage of water
5nto the stem.

Some growers cut each grade sepa-
rately; others gather all qualities to-
gether, grading afterwards. "With the
former method there is no need of de-
lay in getting into water; neither is
there with the latter, b\it I am aware
of the custom of grading before put-
ting into vases and would caution against
this needless delay.

Never use scissors to clip the stems;
this mangles the tissues and reduces the
capacity of the stems to draw water.

Have the water in the vases about the
temperature of the houses in which the
blooms are grown.

When graded remove to a place free
from draughts but not close or stuffy.
The temperature here should be about
45 degrees.

Remember these blooms will continue
to develop, so do not crowd too many in
a vase.

Flowers after being twelve hours in
the cooling room will be in excellent con-
dition to pack for shipment or to sell
over the counter. Many small details
will suggest themselves, such as main-
taining a pure atmosphere and absolute
cleanliness in all operations. Attention
to these minor points will result in pro-
ducing ' ' the smile that won 't come off, ' '
at least for a while.

PROPAGATING NEW SORTS.

Last spring Ave bought a few of some
of the new sorts for trial but our summer
was so hot that they did not do well.
However, we got a few plants to bench.
It always takes one or two years to get
plants from the north acclimated here in
thn south. We want to grow as much of
these new ones as we can from these
plants. Will it do to keep them from
blooming and make them furnish cut-
tings? I mean will it have any effect
on the blooming qualities for next sea-
son? You understand we do not want
to mismanage and then throw anything
aside which is really a good carnation.
Any information to secure as many cut-
tings as possible without injury I) next
year's crop will be appreciated.

Texas.

There is no danger of impairing the
blooming qualities if you are careful in
selecting your cuttings and if you do not
cut the plants down too hard each time
you take cuttings. The blooming quali-
ties will be impaired only just so much
as the plant's vitality is impaired. You
should bear in mind that in most cases
when a varietj' makes a good record at
the shows the demand for the cuttings is
sa great that the disseminator is hard
pushed to make enough cuttings to fill
his orders and seldom is his stock of the
variety large enough to supply as many
strong selected cuttings as he needs as
early as we demand them. Consequently
many a grand variety is sadly weakened
before it leaves the disseminator's place
and it would be ruinous to subject it to
a second siege of overpropagating. How-
ever, if your plants are vigorous and in
good health you need not hesitate to
make all the good strong cuttings you
can.

While it is a little early yet to fully
make up your minds as to how many

Poehlmann's Winning 100 Beauties at the World's Fair Show.

plants you want to bench of each one
of the new ones next year, there may be
some few which have struck your fancy
and you will want all you can get, pro-
viding they do not develop some fault
later in the season. I would not cut
down all the plants for propagating this
early, but leave at least a few plants to
keep on blooming to see how it will be-
have throughout the season. You may
possibly change your mind about some
of them before spring, and think how
sorry you would be next season with per-
haps a whole bench or a houseful of a
variety you would not have wanted at all
if you had seen more of it while you had
the chan<*e. A dozen plants will give you
a fair idea although of course a larger
bntch would be better.

I^et each shoot on the plants show a
l>ud before you cut it down to where
the breaks will be strong. This will not
give the plant any more check than cut-
ting the blooms would and it will also
prevent too many cuttings from being
large enough to take off at one time,
thus always leaving a quantity of growth
on the plants while propagating. By
going over the plants once in two weeks
and taking off only the strong cuttings
you will not rob them of too much growth
and the plants will not be weakened.
Whatever you do. don 't take a lot of
small, weak cuttings, as there is no surer
way of weakening a variety than that.
These small cuttings will grow into
strong ones in a couple of weeks if left
Oil the plants and the plants will be bet-
ter off, too. by having them left on. If
this method could always be adhered to
bv disseminators there would be less com-

l)laint about weak and soft cuttings, etc.
Most of them begin propagating along
that line, but usually long before the
I)ropagating season is half over the buy-
era begin to write for their cuttings at
oiHie, without delay, etc., until tho poor
disseminator is driven to taking every
cutting in sight, and then trouble be-
gins. A. F. .T Baur.

RINGS THEM UP.

In the office at the greenhouses of J. F.
Wilcox, Council Bluffs, la., there is a
bell of about the size used on trolley cars,
and it is connected with the telephone.
As a result the foreman can hear the tel-

a distant range of houses. The big bell
can \)c rung independently of the tele-

HORTICULTURAL COUNCIL.

Pursuant to a call sent out by (Jhief
1\ W. Taylor, of the Department of Hor-
ticulture, some thirty gentlemen n?.et at
that gentleman's office at the St. Louis
World 's Fair on Thursday afternoon, No-
vember 10, for the purpose of consider-
ing what may be done for the advance-
ment of horticulture, employing that term
in its most comprehensive meaning. The
meeting was opened by Chief Taylor with
a statement of the need of an organiza-
tion which should be recognized as h.'iving
authority to speak . for all branches of
horticulture and which should be so alive
to the interests of horticulture that it
would come forward whenever any of
those interests could be furthered. He
outlined what good organization anrl en-
ergetic action had done for other indus-
tries at the World's Fair and expressed
the opinion that, had horticulture spoken
in time, equal results might have been
accomplished. He pointed to the success
of the World 's Fair Flower Show and the
presence of representative men engaged
in many branches of horticulture as mak-
ing the time propitious for action. He
spoke of the many separate societies and
the tendency to division, each to care for
the needs in its own particular field, as
inadequate to the needs on great occa-
sione and urged, unification. He intro-
duced Prof. Wm. Trelease, of the Mis-
souri Botanical Garden, to preside. Prof,
li. R. Taft was appointed secretary.

Prof. Trelease said that he was in full
sympathy with the project on foot but
would confine his efforts to drawing the
thoughts of others rather than expres-
sing his own. Papers had been received
from several gentlemen, setting forth
their ideas of the direction in which lie
the interests of horticulture. Those of
Luther Burbank, Wm. Falconer, Wilhelm
Miller and G. C. Watson were read. These
led up to the question of ways and means,
the discussion being participated in by F.
B. Pierson, H. C. Irish, J. C. Vaughan,
H. G. Selfridge, Philip Breitmeyer and
others. On motion the chairman was in-
structed to appoint a committee of seven
with power to prepare a plan for the or-
ganization of a National Council of Hor-
ticulture and call a meeting for perma-
nent organization to which all horticul-
tural bodies shall be invited to send dele-
gates. The committee will be announced
after the acceptances of the appointees
have been received.

A few minutes after the adjournment
of the St. Louis meeting a paper was re-
ceived from Prof. C. S. Sargent, of Arn-
old Arboretum, setting forth his thoughts
on the subject of national horticulture.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

The market conditions have perceptibly
improved, with prospects of further im-
provement before the week ends. The
mid-season varieties of chrysanthemums
are practically over and from now on
there is certain to be a good demand for
all nice blooms. The foot ball games last
Saturday caused a lively rush for yellow
chrysanthemums, violets and red roses.
Our Dear Friend proved a winner on this
occasion. The wintry weather with which
the week opened curtailed the production
of roses and carnations. Prices are firm-
er, but there is little probability of an
advance before next week, except per-
haps on fancy stock.

Bowling.

A match of five games was played at
the terminal alleys last week between
three-men teams representing Samuel S.
Pcnnock, and J. J. Habermehl's Sons.
The former team consisted of 0. J. Wat-
son, E. G. Sheigley and Charles Gray, the
latter of John Wilson, James Haley and
John Nesbit. The wholesale team was
victorious, winning four games out of
five. A return match is planned for
Thursday of this week, to be played on
alleys up-town.

Germantown Horticultural Society.

The November meeting of the Ger-
mantown Horticultural Society was fairly
well attended and proved very interest-
ing. Robert Kift read an interesting
paper on "Horticultural Societies and
Their Mission" which was heartily ap-
plauded. S. M. Meehan gave a talk on
"Hazelnut Culture" which brought out
a debate. A general discussion followed.
There was a very pretty exhibition of
chrysanthemums. In the regular classes
John F. Gibson took the blue ribbons and
Albert Woltemate in red.

Various Notes.

M. Rice & Co. have just purchased a
property at 1220 Race street, where they
will erect a modern fireproof six-story
building f6r their florists' supply busi-
ness. The building will contain nearly
12,000 square feet of space and is ex-
pected to be ready by July 1, 1905.

J. J. Habermehl's Sons expect to open
their new store in the Bellevue-Stratford
as the Review goes to press this week.

was in town a few days ago looking up
violets for the Yale-Harvard foot ball
game this Saturday.

Charles E, Smith, of York, Pa., was
a visitor at the show last week.

Wm- J. Muth, of the Cut Flower Co.,
noticed that business improved on the
day after election. This improvement
has continued since.

J. A. Smith, of the H. F. Miehell Co.,
reports that their spiraea and valley ar-
rived in good shape. Philip Freud' was
much complimented on his arrangement
of the mushroom exhibit of the Henry F.
Miehell Co. at the show. The mirrors at
each side made the bed appear like an
unending field.

Paul Bender, who was assisting Secre-
tary Rust last week, started work on
Monday for D. E. Gorman, of Williams-
port, Pa., as foreman.

KANSAS QTY.

Various Jottings.

Trade has been fine the past week, a
few weddings, plenty of dinners, card
parties and receptions. Mums are the
ruling flower just now, with a good de-
mand. Prices are fair, ranging from
$1.50 to $4 per dozen, poor demand for
carnations and roses.

One of the features of the week was
the opening reception of the Progress
Club. The decorations were mums, palms
and southern smilax furnished and ar-
ranged by the W. H. Humfeld Floral
Co.

A. F. Barbe has added quite an im-
provement to his range near Elmwood
cemetery, with a flne office and green-
house. He is up-to-date in everythii.r

Several new stores have been opened
in Kansas City in the past few weeks,
but as yet they do not seem to have any
effect with the growers.

W. H. Humfeld has just completed
two carnation houses and one for coleus
on his home place at Tenth and High-
land.

Arthur Thornhill is contemplating
moving his greenhouses from Rusedale
to Westport.

One thing I would like to see and
that is all the florists in Kansas City
better friends with one another. Boys,
we of the busiest and best city in the
west can't afford to lock horns. Let
us revive our club and get into the S.

Ed Ellsworth, manager for Kellogg,
on Grand avenue, reports a good trade.
He is a hustler and is stocking his
store with everything pertaining to the
profession, up-to-date in every particu-
lar.

W. L. Rock, of our city, took first
prize at the Fair on table decorations.

Nelson Jarrett, out on the rock road,
stays close to home these cold nights,
but in spring when the birds begin to
sing Nelson will emerge and then the
market will boom.

Will Bridgeland, foreman for R. S.
Brown, claims he has the finest lOatons
in the state and reports good business
in all lines.

A. Blankenfeld, whose place is in
Westport, is busy stowing away cannas,
of which he makes a specialty. \n ad-
dition he is going into the chicken biisi
ness and is raising Black Leghorns for
the retail market. Narcissus.

Winona, Minn. — The Winona FJoral
Co. hired a hall and gave a flower show
November 10 to 12. They charged a
small admission fee and did right well.
These young men are hustlers.

Pittsburg, Pa. — Among the parties
exhibiting mums at the last club meet-
ing were the Valley Greenhouse Co. They

CHICAGO.

The Market.

Seasonable cool weather arrived at the
close of last week and has had a con-
siderable effect in reducing receipts,
which have been further cut down by the
practice which many growers refuse to
abandon of storing up stock for a holi-
day. The result is that this week has
found the market but scantily supplied.
With demand fairly active it has become
somewhat difficult to supply all require-
ments and prices are on the upward grade.
it is likely that the end of the week
will see the full Thanksgiving list in
force and the growers will be serving
their own best interests if they let the
stock come along then, instead of holding
it until after the shipping demand for
Thanksgiving has ceased. This promises
to be very heavy but it will come practi-
cally to an end on November 22.

There is every prospect of good sup-
plies in all lines for the I'hanksgiving
business. Some of the mid-season var-
ieties of chrysanthemums will be cut out,
but the good late sorts will be abundant
and of very fine quality. There con be
no question but that the stock in general,
including chrysanthemums, roses and car-
nations, will be of better quality than
usual for Thanksgiving. Chicago made
the show at St. Louis last week, where
the uniform high quality of the exhibits
was generally commented upon. Chicago
is making a show for herself this week
and next week the local growers will de-
vote their energies to making a show for
their customers on Thanksgiving orders.

The Beauty crops are running largely
to long-stemmed stock and quality is
superb. Tea roses are not as abundant
as they were, but average quality is bet-
ter than at any time so far this season.
Carnations are already up to the best
mid-winter standard and from all indica-
tions this market is to have a superior
quality of this flower an through the
season. Every grower reports the plants
looking better than ever before at this
date.

The receipts of violets have shortened
in keeping with the decrease in other
lines. Good singles were sold at $1 per
hundred early this week and good Mew
York doubles at $1.50, which are the
prices quoted in the advance Thanksgiving
lists. There are likely to be further ad-
vances on this item for Thanksgiving.

Eed roses, too, are suffer in price and are
likely to go above quoted rates for the
holiday.

Smilax has become one of the plentiful
items and is weakening in price. Other
items of green goods hold about as here-
tofore.

Various Notes.

The banquet committee, John P. Deg-
nan, chairman, has made arrangements
for the annual supper to take place at
the Uuion Hotel this evening.. It is ex-
pected that a large numoer of visitors
will be present and that the supper will
be one of the most largely attenaed in
the history of the local trade.

E. E. Pieser saya that the growers who
have made the most money on mums this
year are those who have produced such
sorts as Ivory of medium eraae. These
flowers have sold in quantity at prices
which paid better than the production of
exhibition stuff.

C. W. McKellar reports that it ts just
between crops with orchids for flower
show week and that the demand, particu-
larly for cattleyas, exceeded the supply.

John Poehlmann, manager of the sell-
ing department of Poehlmann Bro.s. Co.,
and Miss B. E. Parker were married Sat-
urday evening at the bride's home at
Morton Grove. They are receiving the
congratulations of everyone in the trade,
to most of whom the announcement was
a surprise. Mr. and Mrs. Poehlmann
have taken up their residence in the city.

Peter Eeinberg has gone to Butternut,
Wis., with a party of hunters for a two
weeks' outing. Mr. Eeinberg 's new resi-
dence is nearly finished. The Foley Mfg.
Co. supplied all the interior finish. When
Mr. Eeinberg moves into the new home,
Leonard Kill will move into the old Eein-
berg residence next door.

George Eeinberg shipped one order on
Tuesday which included 1,050 Beauties,,
mostly long-stemmed.

The E. F. Winterson Co. reports a
good business in the line of wild smilax,
which Scenis to b" going better this sea-
son than it did last year.

Messrs. Herrington and Duckham,
judges at the St. Louis flower show,
visited the Poehlmann Bros.* estnblish-
ment at Morton Grove on Monday to
see how the prize stock looks on the
plants.

L. Coatsworth reports that the call for
seed of the Benthey aster promises to
exhaust the supply in a very short time.

E. C. Amling reports that he has an-
other big crop of smilax just ready to
cut. He has had a big business on
"green goods" this fall.

The A. L. Randall Co. is rearranging
its counter space and building a new cool
room for carnations.

Weiland & Eisch have put in arc
lights to take the place of gas in their
store, which was already well lighted.

Vaughan & Sperry are still getting very
fine Kaiserin roses.

Adam Zender has three big houses of
Cbatenay. A part of his cut goes to Mil-
waukee.

The town is full of visitors this week,,
attracted by the flower show.

BOSTON.

The Market.

Business has not been anything to
boast of during the past week, but hap-
pily the avalanche of chrysanthemums ia
passing away. After several rather de-
pressing days the market stiffened on
November 12, all flowers clearing out
nicely. The cheaper grades of chrysan-
themums are now coming in less freely
and another week will see about the last
of these. Good blooms average from
$1.50 to $2 per dozen. Prices on Amer-
ican Beauties, Brides and Bridesmaids
remain about the same. Liberty^ how-
ever, is in strong demand, bringing up
to $10 per hundred for the best. Carna-
tions show a slightly hardening tend-
ency and will advance as the mums de-
cline. Violets are more plentiful, but
there is a brisk demand, the best going
as high as $1 per hundred. Lily of the
valley maintains previous quotations.
Paper White narcissi, bouvardia, mig-
nonette, Easter lilies, sweet peas and
pansies are seen in the market in small
quantities. Adiantum and asparagus
sell better.

A Visit to Brookline.

The garden committee of the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society paid a
visit to the estate of Joseph H. White,
Brookline, on November 10, to inspect
the greenhouses. The head gardener,
James Wheeler, who is the newly elected
vice-president of the C. 8. A., met the
party on arrival and showed them every
courtesy. The palm house was espe-

cially interesting to the visitors. The
dimensions of this house are 35x60 and
twenty-five feet high. It contains many
beautifully grown specimens, among
which were noted Cycas circinalis with
100 fronds over eight feet in length.
Very handsome plants of Kentia Bel-
nioreana, K. Forsteriana and K. Aus-
tralis, arecas, rhapis, pritchardias and
other palms. Theophrastus imperialis,
not often seen in good condition, car-
ried leaves over four feet long. Two
large specimens of philodendron (Mon-
stera deUcosa) were fruiting freely.
Some fine adiantums over five feet
across and beautiful Nephrolepis Pier-
soni were noted. The back wall was
clothed with ferns and begonias and
the ground covered with L»ycopodium
denticulatum and Begonia Rex.

The committee was favorably im-
pressed with a .seedling dracaena in
the way of D. Cooperi, but with darker
and broader leaves. The rose house
was in the pink of condition. Varieties
grown are Bride, Bridesmaid, Liberty
and Wootton. The plants were two
years old, had been tied down and broke
finely. Mr. Wheeler stated that the
average production per plant of Bride
and Bridesmaids from October, 1903,
to November 1, 1904, was forty-eight
flowers, of "Wootton sixty-four. The
carnations were remarkably fine, such
varieties as Enchantress, Lawson, Mrs.
Patten, Boston Market and Fair Maid
being grown.

A new single violet was very inter-
esting. It is a sport from Princess of
Wales. The foliage is heavy and extra
vigorous and the flower larger and
rounder and of a beautiful dark blue
color. The committee considered it su-
perior to Princess of Wales and it is
likely to be heard from in the future.
Chrysanthemums in all the best of the
new and older varieties were noted in
quantity. Of these Mr. Wheeler was
for years a very successful exhibitor.
Batches of Begonia Gloire de Lorraine,
cyclamens, primulas, poinsettias and
other seasonable plants were in fine
condition. It was rather a surprise to
see excellent asters still blooming in
the open, with shutters and cloth pro-
tection at night. Everything on the
place was clean and well grown, showing
that a skilled practitioner was in
charge.

Various Notes.

N. F. McCarthy & Co. liavc had a
large auction sale of hardy roses and
shrubs the present week, stock being
from Dutch and American sources.
Prices have been satisfactory.

The first poinsettias of the. season
were noted in a store window on Novem-
ber 15. One or two growers expect to
have a nice lot 6f bracts in for Thanks-
giving. Roman hyacinths have also
made their appearance.

W. W. Rawson, of Arlington, was
elected by a handsome majority to the
governor's council from his district in
the late election.

The new governor of Massachusetts,
W. L. Douglas, the well-known Brockton
shoe manufacturer, who carried a strong
Republican state for the Democracy, is
an ardent flower lover. Only a few
weeks ago he made a large distribution
of plants from his gardens for the poor
of his city.

Welch Bros., who do a very large
commission business in Boston, arc re-
ceiving some very high-grade roses,
carnations and chrysanthemums from

the many growers whose cuts they
handle. They report business as be-
ing very good.

The Gardeners' and Florists' Club
elected officers for 1905 on November
15. They will hold their next field day
with Wm. Nicholson, l^amingham,
about the middle of December.

The chrysanthemum show proved a dis-
tinct financial success, the receipts be-
ing much larger than in 1903. Music
proved a great drawing card and well
paid for itself.

Lord & Burnham Co. are working on
the following new contracts: Samuel
Kinder, Bristol, R. I., four houses; M.
Hazelton, Turner's Falls, Mass., one
house; Norcross & Stratton, Grafton,
Mass., two houses; Judge Moore, Prides
Crossing, Mass., two houses.

D. F. Roy, Robert Marshall and Wil-
liam Anderson were at the show at New
York last week and took along about a
score of their specimen plants from the
Boston show.

A few blooms of a beautiful deep
flesh-colored carnation from Zenas Crane,
Dalton, Mass., E. Dolby, gardener, some-
thing in the way of Marquis but much
superior, attracted much favorable no-
tice at the recent show.

The Rosary, as J. J. Casey's new store
on Bromfield street has been called, is
very attractive. It is located in the
rear of Music Hall and Mr. Casey merits
a good share of the public's patronage.

That the new halls of the Massachu-
setts Horticultural Society are admirably
adapted for keeping cut flowers in fine
condition was attested at the recent
show. Most of the carnations were as
fresh on November 7 as when staged
four days before.

William Nicholson is still shipping
some very fine chrysanthemums to the
Park street market. E. N. Peirce &
Co.. in addition to a big quantity of the
same flowers, are forwarding a fine lot
of all the best carnations, their En-
chantress being extra good.

Thos. Galvin, in a window display of
orchids last week, showed some remark-
ablv fine spikes of Zvgopetalum Mackaii.

W. N. Craig.

CLEVELAND.

The Market.

Since my last notes on the condition
of business, a change has come about.
Olio or two functions of magnitude
lijive fairly cleaned the market laid a
brighter j)rospect is in view. A great
number of debutantes' parties and wed-
dings are on the calendar and small
functions will assist in making this a
banner season.

The d?mand for roses is still slow
and the commission man is glad the
crop is about off. Prices remain from
$J to $5 per hundred. Beauties are be-
ginning to arrive and $3 per dozen for
the best is asked. Carnations are sell-
ing well and the market is deanel up
every day. Some very fine Enchantress
and Lawson are being handled by the

' ' mum ' ' is still the word, their time will
soon be at an end. Thanksgiving will
in all probability wind them up for this
season.

Various Notes.

A visit of the members of the British
Iron Institute at a recent date made
ouite a demand for high grade flowers.
Several entertainments and a large ban-

quet wound up their visit. The G. M.
Gasser Co. had the banquet decoration
at the Chamber of Commerce. It was
an elaborate affair and used a very
large quantity of stock. Mums predom-
inated and a very satisfactory arrange-
ment was the result.

Smith & Fetters had charge of the
Hale funeral, which brought out some
very fine design work and tasty bunches.
Beauties, orchids, valley and mums were
used largely.

James Eadie, of Erie street, is receiv-
ing some nice Beauties and Meteors
from his new plant on Shaw avenue.

Parks is doing a fine trade m the
Citizens building. He is handling the
finest grade flowers.

At Pentecost's place, on Republic
street, Lawson and Crane are doing
nicely, with good flowers and long
stems. Their mums are good and they
will have a large cut for Thanksgiving.
A fine batch of cyclamen gives evidence
of high culture.

Just across Rockefeller park we find
Fred Naumann looking well. Here is an
interesting batch of seedling carnations.
Some good red, white and pink are in
flower and may be heard of later. Some
extra well grown mums, flowers of the
exhibition variety, are seen here, and
Appletons that could hardly be beat. Mr.
Naumann says the florists won't pay
enough for high grade blooms so will
retail them himself. All the newer va-
rieties are being tested.

Another short jaunt brings us to
George Smith's place on Wade Park
avenue. Although not a large, plant, it
is a model of neatness. The best of
stock is produced here and finds a ready
sale at the store end. A bench of Law-
son was a beautiful sight, healthy and
vigorous, full of bud and bloom. Mums
are grown here and the finest flowers
bring the best results. A superb batch
of Begonia Gloire de Lorraine proves
tha,t George knows how it is done. Cy-
clamen are also good and so are his
primulas. In fact everything looks weU.

Merkel Bros., of Mentor, are sending
some extra fine mums of the leading va-
rieties to Mr. Wagner, on Erie street.
A visit to their greenhouses is a rare
treat, as here we see all the up-to-date
varieties of mums, both Australian and
American, The carnations are doing
splendidly. Enchantress is in full crop.
Nelson Fisher as done here is very fine,
lawson. Flamingo and other varieties
are also doing nicely.

Bate Bros, will have a good cut of
mums and carnations for Thanksgiving.

The Essex Greenhouses are sending in
some fine Beauties and carnations.

NEW YORK,

The Market

The week opened with clear, cold, sea-
sonable weather. The big flower show is
ill full blast and society has endorsed the
horse show, as is its custom. Retailers
are busy. Violets were in demand beyond
the supply and specials easily brought
$1.50. But the prices of roses, cnrna-
tions and about every other variety of
flower remain stagnant. The improve-
ment materializes slowly and yet it. is as
inevitable, as Thanksgiving is at our
doors and Christmas is only five short
weeks away.

45, 47 AND 49 WABASH AVE.

Club was held. Over sixty members were
present. It was chrysanthemum and car-
nation night and a magnincent exhibition
of new varieties was made, limited in
numbers, but as choice as any exhibit
ever made in the rooms of the society.
Three immense vases of the new pink
sport of W. H. Chadwick, named W. S.
Allen, were exhibited by A. N. Pierson,
of Cromwell, Conn. The carnation dis-
play was bevond criticism. John N. May
displayed Phyllis, Weber & Sons, of Oak-
land, Md., My Maryland; Guttnian &
Weber, Victory, and C. W. Ward four
fine sorts, Robert Craig, Judge Hinsdale,
Ethel Ward and Lieutenant Peary, every
one of them a gem in its class.

The resolutions on the death of the
very Rev. Dean Hole were read with
much feeling by Alex Wallace and & ris-
ing vote of acceptance demonstrated the
respect of the club for his memory. John
Birnie read the resolutions on the tieath
of John Reickert and Charles Weathered
those on the death of J. B. Hyatt, both
reports being received and copies or-
<lcred sent to the bereaved families.

The nominating committee reported
the following names: For president,
i: . H. Traendly and John Birnie; vice-
president, S. S. Butterfield and J. Austin
Shaw; for secretary, John Young and
A H. Langjahr; for treasurer, Charles
Weathered and William Elliott; for
trustees, Walter Sheridan, John Scott,
John I. Raynor, L. B. Craw, John Nash,
John Reimels and A. 8. Burns. The five
new members proposed at the last meet-
ing of the club were duly elected and
Jas. Taylor, of Southport, was proposed.

Patrick O'Mara addressed the club in
behalf of Prof. Johnson, who is a candi-
date for the place of assistant secretary

of agriculture. Strong resolutions were
adopted endorsing Prof. Johnson. C.
W. Ward endorsed the resolutions heart-
ily and announced he had for some
months given Prof. Johnson his best ef-
forts.

The committee on awards reported on
each and announced its intention of vis-
iting the Cottage Gardens to inspect the
new white, Ethel Ward, and Guttman &
Weber's, at Lynbrook, to see Victory
growing and John N. May's to inspect
Phyllis. Each exhibitor was given an op-
portunity to tell of the habit and ether
merits of his variety and each invited
members of the club to visit them and
see the stock growing. Mr. W^allace sug-
gested the appointment of a day on
which the club members collectively
should visit the headquarters of the new
carnations and the officers of the club
were appointed a committee to make the
necessary arrangements.

The second Monday in December will
be florists' supply night and it will be
made as interesting as possible, being
the last club meeting in its most success-
ful year.

Various Notes.

John Young is receiving a fine supply
of those grand new carnations from the
Cottage Gardens, samples of which were
on view at the club meeting.

John Scott's new fern seems to be in
every retail establishment in New York
City. Its commercial value is being
demonstrated everywhere.

Elliott's big auction comes to-morrow
and Cleary's Horticultural Hall will have
in'mediately its great sale of hardy roses.

Kretchmar Bros., formerly of Flat-
bush, and for some years resting on their
oars, are again back in their favorite

work of carnation growing at the old
stand in West Nyack, N. Y.

President Amoe, of the Cut I'ower
Exchange, Coogan building, has been
forced to use "the big stick" mornings
lately, enforcing the rule that no bas-
kets are to be opened before 6 a. m. He
believes rules are made to be obeyed.

Aug. Schroeder, of Elmhurst, L. I.,
was robbed of all his best mums last
week, the thieves doing a great deal of
damage to other stock.

Bobbink & Atkins are finding it diffi-
cult to keep ahead of the orders for their
plant tubs. They are hand-made, of oak
or cypress and a large force is constant-
ly employed in their manufacture.

Bowling.

The club enjoyed its first afternoon
practice last Monday. Next Monday night
at 8 o'clock the match between the Flat-
bush and New York begins. A good deal
of interest is being taken in this con-
test and a record crowd is expected. The
new alleys on the first floor of the Puri-
tan Cafe, on Thirtieth street, near Eighth
avenue, will be used on this occasion.
Monday's scores were:

PITTSBURG.

The Market

Business the past week was extremely

Siiiet, at least until Thursday; stock
eaned up fairly well the last of the
week. Mums were a glut and many
were sold at disgraceftS prices in order
to move them at all. No doubt some
of the commission men will blush when
tbey mail reports to growers.

A Large Decoration.

The event of the week was the Dar-
lington wedding. A. M. Murdoch had
this and made old Trinity church a vis-
ion of beauty. On each side of the
chancel were groups of palms and white
chrysanthemums, while in the chancel
proper were white mums and cattlevas
tied and looped with pale blue ribbon.
On the altar were bunches of lilies. Just
below the capitals of the pillars were
clusters of white mums tied with broad
blue ribbon and the pillars partly hid-
den with sprays of asparagus. The gal-
leries bore festoons of smilax and as-
paragus fastened with ribbon. At the
end of each pew in the center aisle was
the same arrangement of smilax and
narrow ribbon, while every fourth pew
bore a cluster of cattleyas. At tno Dar-
lington home the decorations wero not-
able. In the drawing room was an arch
of orchids. The mantels were banked
with cattleyas and Farleyense. The
library was done in American Beauties.
The hallway to the fourth floor was done
in yellow mum& The pink rose, Tom
Pield, was used in the lower dining room
and red roses in the upper. The bridal
table had a great dome of cattleyas and
Farleyense and directly beneath was a
large centerpiece of Bride roses, valley
and white orchids. The bridal bouquet
was of white orchids showered with den-
drobium blooms. The maid of honor
carried a bunch of vandas. The brides-
maids carried bouquets of cattleyas, the
flower girls carried baskets of valley. The
bouquets were not the regular shower
bouquets, but a beautiful and somewhat
similar effect produced with ribbons.
The whole decoration was much out of
the ordinary.

Various Notes.

L. I, Neff has a bench the length of
one of his houses in roseum lily which
is just coming in, and he expects to cut
for the next six weeks. They will come
ia handy when the mums are out of
the road.

Jim Higgins was in a B. & O. \\Teck

last week. The worst he got was a good
shaking up. Hoo-Hoo.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

The florists' business during the past
week was fairly good. Winter weather
has arrived and made stock of all kinds
look much better and the wholesale
market much less crowded. Prices have
gone lip a little on carnations and roses.
Social work among the upper class is
still lacking, though up-town florists who
cater to this trade say that not until
the World's Fair closes will society en-
tertain home friends. Carnations are
not so good as one would like them to
be. Of the real first-class flowers the
percentage is as yet very small and, as
these are the only ones in demand, the
market may be called short in supply.
The price for fair stock is $3 per hun-
dred, $2 and $1.50 for the others.

The rose stock is somewhat better in
quality and supply. Extra fancy are
$8 per hundred in Liberty, Carnot and
Meteor. No. 1 bring $6 and seconds are
sold at $2 to $3. Fancy American
Beauties are not so many at $4 per
dozen, but mediums are now $2 to $2.50,
shorts $6 to $8 per hundred.

Chrysanthemums are still plentiful.
Extra fancy sell well at $3 per dozen,
second choice $1.50 to $2 per dozen,
small white and pink Ivory bringing $4
to $5 per hundred. It is said that chry-
santhemums will not average in price as
much as last season.

Violets have advanced within the past
few days to 60 cents per hundred. The
cold weather has brought them better
color and longer stems and from now
on they will occupy their proper posi-
tion in the market. Lily of the valley
continues in good supply. Bomans and
Paper Whites demand $4 per hundred,
stock extra good.

Everything points to a big demand for
Thanksgiving day and from reports stock
will be somewhat scarce with advanced

prices.

Various Notes.

The World's Fair Flower Associa-
tion's big show the past week in the
Horticulture building was a great suc-
cess. The first two days the paid ad-
mission averaged over 6,000. Wednes-
day and Thursday the bad weather kept
many away and the attendance fell away
below the mark. Friday the crowd was
fairly large, but Saturday it was enor-
mous and Manager Hauswirth was all
smiles. President Breitmeyer, E. G. Hill,

J. F. Ammann and James Hartshome
lent great assistance at the door on Sat-
urday, as the crowd was too large for
any two men to handle. The show did
a great deal of good to the local trade
and will no doubt be of g^eat benefit tp
the Florists' Club when it holds its an-
nual show next year.

Martin Eeukauf, of Bayersdorf er *8,
and B. Esehner, of Rice & Co., Phila-
delphia, took in the big show and both
report a profitable stay in the city.

The new white begonia, Tumf ord Hall,
exhibited by J. A. Peterson, of Cincin-
nati, was a decided novelty and is cer-
tainly of great commercial value.

Belle Miller and her sister, of "Spring-
field, 111., spent Friday at the show look-
ing up new varieties in roses, carna-
tions and chrysanthemums. Miss MiUer
is sending to this market daily some ex-
tra fine stock which is handled by
Frank Ellis.

Judge and Mrs. Vesey, of Fort Wayne,
were at the show and took many prizes
with their fine stock. It is handled in
this market by Charles Kuehn.

Ostertag Bros, bought all of the Sie-
brecht & Son's exhibit in the conserva-
tory of the Horticulture building, which
was one of the largest exhibits in plants
at the World's Fair. Leo Ostertag made
the sale the past week during the flower
show.

The meeting of the St. Louia Flor-
ists' Club on Thursday afternoon in the
Horticulture bmlding was not so well
attended as expected. No business of
any importance was transacted. This
was aU left over until the December
meeting. After the regular routine busi-
ness was disposed of they adjourned to
F. W. Taylor's oflSce where a meeting
of the visiting florists was held, Pjro?
Wm. Trelease presiding.

George B. Windier, one of the prom-
inent members of the Florists' Club, is
to be married on Tuesday, November 22,
to Miss Anna Margaret May. The mem-
bers of the club I know are with me in
congratulating Miss May on her choice,
as no member of our craft has more
friends than George Windier. Mr. and
Mrs. Windier will be at home to their
friends on Thursdays after January 1,
at 4059 De Lore avenue.

Wm. Kalisch, of the firm of Wm.
Kalisch & Sons, Delmar and Taylor ave-
nues, was painfully hurt on Saturday by
the street cars, which ran into his wagon
on his way to the World's Fair. From
reports of his son Monday morning, his
father ia resting easy, but it wifl be
two weeks before he will be able to at-
tend to business. j, j, g^

Vegetable Forcing.

RHUBARB.

I was interested in Mr. Croydon's ar-
ticle on riiubarb forcing in a recent Ee-
viEW, Will he please tell us the best
treatment to give the roots after they
are through bearing? We would like to
use ours again as the cost of fresh roots
is considerable. C. L. W.

In the article on rhubarb forcing re-
ferred to I purposely omitted the after-
care of roots, as I don't think it pays
to hold them over. The unnatural con-
ditions to which they are subjected when
forced so saps the vitality of the plants
that it takes considerable time and
trouble to get them back into a good,
healthy conation. Where old plants are
used for forcing there is always more or
less rot. Some of the crowns having
reached the seeding stage, from these
only a few stalks of good rhubarb are
procured, then the flower spike is pro-
duced, after which the crown, having
exhausted all its strength in the effort,
invariably rots. To preserve the old
roots they require to be covered over
in sand or some similar material until
spring, kept as cool as possible but at
the same time free from damp or frost.
To attempt to force them again the next
winter would be only courting disappoint-
ment.

If it is necessary to preserve them it
is better to plant them out without di-
viding for one season, after which their
vitality will be partially restored. Then
the following spring the clumps can be
divided up into single crowns. By fall
they will have made quite some growth,
but seldom make plants strong enough
for forcing the first season after divid-
ing. Fresh crowns that never have been
forced, on the other hand, if divided in
spring will make good forcing plants by
fall. The best policy, then, if you have
available ground, is to keep a stock of
fresh plants coming on and throw away
your crowns when they are removed from
the forcing quarters.

In breaking up plants for planting in
the open ground divide into single
erowns, plant not too deeply, in a well
enriched, deeply cultivated soil, allow-
ing twenty inches or, if ground is plen-
tiful, two feet between the plants. Keep

well cultivated and refrain from pulling
the stalks and you will be surprised at
the growth they will make in one season.
Being kept growing freely, there is little
danger of them making flowering crowns
and where that is avoided a much better
crop can be depended on. Old plants
in which the majority of the crowns will
have reached the mature stage and
formed flower buds will only give about
one-third the returns that fresh, free
growing crowns will give.

Another method of producing forcing
plants is from seed. From this in two
seasons good crowns can be. procured,
but, as the plants cannot all be depended
on to come true from seed, division is
the most satisfactory method.

TROUBLE WITH LETTUCE.

I am having trouble with my lettuce.
The under sides of the leaves are whitish
in spots, something to the way mildew
looks on other plants. After a while the
leaves turn brown where affected. I en-
close a specimen leaf and would like to
know the cause and remedy for the
trouble. A. D.

The trouble with your lettuce is mil-
dew pure and simple and its presence
denotes very unsuitable atmospheric con-
ditions. The painting of your heating
pipes in patches with a paste composed
of sulphur and lime would help destroy
the germs, but you must be careful not
to overdo it or you will scald the edges
of the tender leaves. Rather try and
get at the bottom of the trouble by
careful airing and the judicious regula-
tion of atmospheric moisture. Avoid
watering as much as possible during dull
weather. Water only in the morning,
so as to have the moisture all dried up
before time to close down the house.
Give air on all favorable occasions but
avoid cold draughts by closing your ven-
tilators gradually as soon in the after-
noon as the air begins to get cold. More
mildew is caused by careless airing than
by anything I know and it* will pay
you to spend some time and trouble in
the study of the airing question. When
you have this down to a fine point I
don't think you will have much trouble
with mildew. W. S. Croydon.

The weather is favoring the green

The French Dulb growers appear now
to realize that there is a limit in price

The St. Louis News for November 6

lest four; W. W. Rawson & Co., lost six.

The country adjacent to Philadelphia
cpce produced several tons of onion seed
annually, but the estimated yield for
1904 is said to be less than 300 pounds
and this is confined entirely to Philadel-
phia White Silverskin. The onion set
crop is equally short. The few fanners
who hold white sets refuse $4 per bushel

As an example of the importance of
some of the seed-growing establishments
at Quedlinburg, Germany, it may be
stated that the firm of Henry Mette,
founded in 1787, now grows 3,000 acres
for seed crops and contracts for the crop
of some 5,000 acres additional in the
same vicinity. The pay roll has over
1,200 names, one half of whom are la-

A TOUR AMONG CALIFORNIA
SEED GROWERS.

As we leave Santa Clara on our trip
northward, the next point of interest is
Palo Alto, where D. L. Sloan & Son
showed some fine fields of onion seed and
lettuce. This firm confines its efforts
more particularly to these two crops, al-
though it operates more or less along all
th«; lines of the Santa Clara growers.
Mr. Sloan lives quite near the Leland
Stanford University and after seeing
his seed fields he kindly drove us over to
and through the grounds of this noted
educational institution. His kno ft ledge
of the place made the side trip very en-
joyable.

On the way from Palo Alto to San
I'Vancisco, Menlo Park, when called by
the trainmen, brought recollections of a
Sunset Seed & Plant Co. that had made
Menlo Park a familiar word to a seeds-
man. The place is beautiful enough for
the home of any sort of a seed or plant
business, either at sunrise or sunset, and
there was a regret that the companv was
no longer there.

Coming into San Francisco the numer-
ous short windmills distributed among
plats of vegetables growing on Jf^dges
like steps or stairs look peculiar enough,
but the produce that is taken from these
queerly situated gardens, both in qualitv
and quantity, would satisfy any market
gardener. The windmills are a necessity
to pump water for irrigating for the
crops and the ledges upon which the veg-
etables are grown are so situated as to
make the irrigating process easy and ef-
ficient. Some time could be spent tn
good advantage in this part of San Fran-
cisco, for any one interested in the mar-
ket garden branch of the trade. The
hanging gardens of Babylon may have
looked something like these.

At San Francisco two days were spent
with the seed dealers. E. J. Boven's
business and warehouse was interesting
from the fact of long establishment and
because of the kindly personality of its
head. E. J. Bowen was alive and in his
oflSce at the time of this trip. At 'I rum-
bull & Beebe's store Mr. Beebe did the
honors. They have a nice store and
do a good business. The Cox Seed Co.
has a fine location, a nice store and offices
and a commodious warehouse. In atldi-
tion to their wholesale and seed gi owing
interests they have a good retail trade.
The other seed stores are creditable to
the town.

As seed growers the Cox Seed Co. oper-
ates largely in the vicinity of Stockton,
which is "up the river," with the
difference of being down the river as
well. The river branches at a etrtain
point, one branch going up to Sacra-
mento and the other going down to
Stockton and beyond. Most of the San-
ta Clara growers operate on the Sacra-
mento branch, which is the proper "up
the river" locality as understood bv
them. The Cox Seed Co. has also arrow-
ing crops at points other than In the
Stockton vicinity and do an extensive
business in this line.

The trip up the river was with Ben.
Morse, representing C. C. Morse &- Co.
At the dock we met Charles Parker, who
was also going up. The sail through tbe
bay was enjoyable and as we neared the
place where the San Joaquin and Saern

niarkable, owing to the half submerged
islands that lay apparently in all direc-
tions. Some of these islands, it was
stated, had formerly contained valuable
fruit and produce ranches and that a
great deal of money had been used and
was still being used in the eflfort to re-
claim them. The steamer we were on
took the Sacramento river which runs
east and north. To one who had never
before seen low lands surrounded hy
levee banks, the view, as the river nar-
rowed, looked strange indeed. Tho toI)^
of the fruit trees that were growing on
both sides seemed just level with the
water in the river, and at landing places,
from the upper deck of the boat we
looked down upon the fruits on the top-
most branches. One could not but think
of the disaster that a break in the levee
would cause.

The steamer pushed along, making a
number of stops before reaching Isleton
where Mr. Morse and writer got oflf.
Mr. Parker remained on board, going to
Walnut Grove, or some other place near

TROUBLE WITH ENCHANTRESS.

We come to you in trouble. We have
a bed of Enchantress carnation benched
in July, the glass put on early in Sep-
tember. It has been top dressed twice.
A great many of the plants have long,
healthy stems and buds, also two or
three puny, yellow stems and buds on
the same plant. If you could give us
any advice it would be appreciate'!.

L. A. D.

I am inclined to think that the top
dressing was too strong, or that you al-
lowed the soil to get too wet right after
it was applied. You do not state of what
the top dressing consisted or the quan-
tity applied, so I can only guess by the
behavior of the plants. The fact that
there are fine, long stems and f-ickly
shoots on the same plants shows that
there was a severe check of some sort
and likely too much food just after it.
Enchantress is a fine, strong growing
variety when it is handled properly, but
it easily loses its stride and usually the
first signs are those sickly looking
shoots. Let them get a little on the dry
side and run them a little dry for a few
weeks and I think the trouble will dis-
appear. Just before you water them
the first time, sprinkle a little air-.slaked
lime on the soil and water it in.

Hankinson, Minn. — ^W. W. Lilley

interest in their nursery to Wm. Stru-
bel and Charles Carman. The business
is to be enlarged.

While a workman was repairing a
light at the Jewel Nursery Co. 's place at
Lake City, Minn., November 5, an ex-
plosion of gas took place which injured
the man and partly wrecked the buiMing.

The nursery agent is to be looked to
to find a planter for all the great quan-
tities of fruit trees in course of prepara-
tion for next season. There is no limit
to the amount of stock the farmers of
the M-est will plant in the next few years
if properly approached and honestly dealt
with.

In the south end of Jackson park, Chi-
cago, a great deal of nursery stock is be-
ing planted this fall. There is still a
large area which has not been reclaimed
from the devastated condition in which
it was left by the destruction of the
World's Fair in 1894, but the finished
part is in very good shape. An equally
large task will be presented by the neces-
sity for the restoration of Forest park,

HOW to EARN $20 to $50 per WEEK

This is an advertisement but is worthy of your
careful consideration, as it is a bonaflde oiler to
the readers of the Florists' Rbvikw for their
services this winter— whole or part time.

If you mean business it will pay you
to write to the Spaulding Company and
get their proposition. "Whether you are
experienced in their line or not they
will outfit you free and instruct you
fully each week, so that you will posi-
tively make as much as stated above,

ceive many premiums, not cheap, trashy
things but useful and valuable articles
which they send their salesmen free,
from time to time, by way of appre-
ciation and encouragement.

resenting an ordinary nursery concern,
for they are nurserymen of national rep-
utation and can be depended upon to
fulfill all agreements with salesmen

easy and prosperous for you if you
give them the chance.

The Market

Trade is very much the same a^ last
week. There is nothing very startling
going on and the demand is rather
weak. Prices are holding only fair.
Mums are averaging a little better but
roses and carnations are about the
same. Carnations are coming still more
heavily and the quality is good. No-
vember business has not been up to
standard this year and the complaint is
general. About the only flower for vrhich
there is an active demand is the violet,
and there are not enough of thcee to
go around by a long ways. They bring
from 50 cents to $1 per hundred, with
prospects of a still further advance this
week.

Various Notes.

The mum show at the fair took quite
a number of our boys away from home.
Among those who went were L. H. Kyrk,
J. A. Peterson, Wm. McFadden and
Peter Weiland.

Chas. Dudley and wife, of Parkers-
burg, W. Va., and Chas Dieterich passed
through this city on their way to St.
Louis, as also did Dr. Howald, of the
Atlanta Floral Co., Atlanta, Ga,

The Qub's Exhibition.

The annual mum show of the Florists'
Society was held on Saturday and a very
creditable display it was. Among the
firms making exhibits were The E. G.
Hill Co., George & Allan, The Kose-
bank Co., E. Witterstaetter. J. W. Kodjr-
ers, J. Breitmeyer's Sons. Theo. Bock
and Nathan Smith & Son.

The general display prize w:is won
by R. Witterstaetter with a fine display
of mums, also a large number of vases
of his famous seedling carnations. His
improved Enquirer was in great shape
and I have not seen anything this sea-
son that is equal to it. Theo. Bock had
several varieties staged for exhibition
purposes and they were right up to his
standard of good blooms. The Rosebank
Co. made a fine showing and though
they did not get in the money, tlu y
had some very good blooms.

The E. G. Hill Co. staged some twen-
ty-eight varieties of mums, one flower of
each.

tries. R. Witterstaetter captured first
and J. W. Rodgers second.

The other awards are as follows. Best

with Adelia ; George & Allan, second ;
E. G. Hill Co. third.

Best vase yellow, E. G. Hill Co. first,
with Yellow Eaton, the best blooms of

The Market

During the past ten days there have
been a good many wedding decorations,
as well as more than the usual amount of
funeral work, this together with quite
a little counter trade for cut flowers
has given quite a snap to business, and
worked off what would otherwise have
been a glut of chrysanthemums and other
stuff. Almost all of the florists have
very pretty window displays, chrysanthe-
mums being largely used. Roses and
carnations have sold very slowly lately
as everybody for the moment buys mums,
as a result prices have eased somewhat,
both wholesale and retail.

Various Notes.

Bruce Butterton has the sympathy of
all in the death of his son, John, aged
7 years.

The regular meeting of the Newport
Horticultural Society took place Novem-
ber 2. Final plans and committees
were arranged for the seventh annual
ball, which takes place December 2. Miss
Alice Keteltas has offered a special prize

of $50 (or a silver cup) for the beat
arrangement of shrubs or plants at the
entrance of any estate in Newport, no
evergreens to be used.

The greatest interest was taken here
in the show at Boston. The following
florists and members of the Horticultural
Society attended. Alexander McLellan,
David Mcintosh, Andrew S. Meikle,
Alexander Anderson, James Boyd, John
B. Urquhart, Alexander McWUliams,
Colin Robertson, Stewart Ritchie, Arend
Brandt, Andrew J. Pow, Donald F. Shep-
herd, Paul Volquardson, Daniel J.
Coughlin and James Robertson.

The Geo. A. Weaver Co. was closed
Thursday, November 3, during the fun-
eral of Mr. Weaver's sister, Mrs. W.
Howard Greene. The employes sent a
fine wreath of Ivory chrysamthemums,
Kaiserin roses and violets.

On Wednesday of last week the funer-
al of Joseph S. Allen took place. There
were so many floral tributes that the
church was turned into a floral bower.
The Horticultural Society sent a pillow
and a large delegation of members at-
tended the services,

J. M. Hodgson arranged the decora-
tions for the Erving-Rutherford wedding
on Thursday, in New York. It was a
home affair, but very elaborate.

Wadley & Smythe are about closing
their Bellevue avenue store for this sea-
son. They report trade as having been
very good the past few weeks.

Henry J. Hass has just celebrated the
fiftieth anniversary of his birth at his
home on Almy street, where, assisted by
his wife and daughter, a large company
of friends was entertained.

At Philip Caswell's greenhouses Mr.
Allen has been cutting some fine chrysan-
themums, especially Ivory and Bonnaf-
fon. It is unfortunate that mums are
selling so low; $6 to ,$8 a hundred
is about all good flowers will bring
here. Zero.

OwENSBORO, Ky. — Thomas C. Milne
took all of the first prizes for cut flow-
era in the professional classes at the
flower show held here last week. The
judge was W. E. Conover, of Henderson.

NEW BEDFORD, MASS,

Business here has been a little quiet
but everybody is looking for better trade
now that election is over. Flowers of
all kinds are very plentiful, so much so
that some of the florists are having bar-
gain sales. One florist had a large ad-
vertisement in the daily papers, "$10
pillows for $5, $8 pillows for $4, pinks
35 cents per dozen, all other designs at
half price." Another one advertised
chrysanthemums at 75 cents per dozen
and invites the public to see them picked
right fresh from the plants. This is
the most prosperous town for flower

stores in the state. One of the local
storemen is talking of starting a lunch-
room or cigar store in his present loca-
tion. Still another is thinking of apply-
ing for a liquor license.

S. S. Peckham has opened another city
salesroom and is making a fine show of
mums. He is not only supplying his
own trade but is also shipping a num-
ber of chrysanthemums out of town.

W. G. Kroeber, it is said, is soon to
open a store on Union street, next door
east to Sheedy's Theatre.

H. V. Showle reports Dusiness as quiet
in his section of the city.

Arthur Ashley is bringing in some fine
pinks and intends to soon build another
house for pinks and one for violets,

W. E. Mosher has started to stake out
for a new greenhouse.

W. L. G. Brown has the sides all in
for a new house 25x100 to be used for
roses.

B. E. Nofftz, the ivy leaf king, has
just finished a new house to be used for
the storage of his hardy stuff that he in-
tends to force. Dick reports large sales
of ivy leaves. He says he is shipping
lots of them out of town.

We hear that E. H. Chamberlain is
having a new delivery wagon built that
is going to be a winner. "We'll all be
there at the christening of the new
turnout.

The greenhouse of H. H. Rogers, in
Fairhaven, has been open to the public
this week and they say that Mr. Garthley
is showing some very fine chrysanthe-
mums.

We have not yet been able to get a
quorum at the recent Florists' Club
meetings, but are in hopes to at the
next meeting. It seems to be hard to
get the local florists away from their
own firesides unless there is a supper.

C.

TORONTO.

Trade during the last week has picked
up considerably and cut flowers are
shortening in supply, with an increased
demand, while we notice the wholesale
price is gradually advancing; especially
do we notice this in roses. Muma and
carnations continue to be fairly plen-
tiful, with demand and supply about
equal. Violets are scarce.

Much interest is being taken in the
coming flower show and all of our grow-
ers are holding their best stock for it.
We expect a big exhibition, as the sec-
retary informs us that nearly all the
classes are well filled up and some of
the exhibits will be decidedly interest-
ing. Many out-of-town growers have
made their entries and we are assured
of several exhibits from our American
cousins. D. J.

Hartford, Conn. — E. M. Francis has
closed his greenhouse and is going south
for the winter.

OwATONNA, Minn. — The Clinton Falls
Nursery & Greenhouse Co. 's new estab-
lishment is a model in every way. The
h(iuses contain tile benches throughout,
with boiler shed separated from main
house. The same is heated by high pres-
sure eighty-five horse-power boilers of the
latest type. The houses are lit with elec-
tric light. They grow a large variety of
stock. Their roses and carnations are
in excellent condition at present. They
control 30,000 feet of glass. The houses
are in charge of Paul Horn. Thos, Cash-
man is president of the company. They
report an excellent trade and good ship-
ping facilities to the surrounding towns.

PACIFIC COAST.

BEDDING STOCK FOR SPRING.

This is the best time of the year
to propagate soft-wooded plants for
borders or carpet bedding and, as there
is considerable call for this class of ma-
terial in the early spring in and around
our large towns, a gentle reminder may
be in order. This class of stock i& so
easily grown here that many of our
growers do not bother with it and leave
the handling to gardeners in private
places or to the small dealers. But I
have always found that at the proper
season there is a considerable demand
and some of our largest commercial
places that have complete lines of other
stock lose a good many dollars bv not
being able to furnish stock of this char-
acter and for whiph nothing else can
be substituted or suggested.

Our border geraniums, achryanthes,
alternantheras, coleus, begonias, salvias,
lobelias, feverfew and verbenas are now
in full growth and cuttings can be taken
and struck in flats with no danger of
their not rooting. There is no neces-
sity of giving greenhouse room for this
class of stock, as anything in the line of
a frame is just to their liking. Some
sej'.sons we have frost sufficient to kill
these border plants and other years they
are only scorched on the tips of the
foliage. However, this is the best time
to make cuttings and if we do not have
ccld weather there will be no necessity
of covering the frames. If the weather
should get frosty it will be necessary to
put a few sash over them at night and
be careful not to water too freely un-
til the cuttings are rooted, after which
all is plain sailing.

I have found a good demand for
AJme. Salleroi, Mountain of Snow, Mar-
shal McMahon, Mme. Pollock and Hap-
py Thought geraniums, the past few
seasons, selling the young plants out of
the flats without potting early in
March. Achryanthes and alternan-
theras have sold well and verbenas also.
The same rules will apply to the grow-
ing of all these plants. Lobelia, salvias,
sweet alyssum and agreatums are easily
grown from seed and this should be
planted within the next few vveeks.
Coleus are more delicate and the cut-
tings had better be planted in the green-
house and transplanted later into thumb
pots. The weather is especially warm
and favorable at present for ' making
cuttings and it is best to have this work
attended to before a sharp frost spoils
the young foliage and shoots for the
season 's supply. G.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market

I might strain a point and say that
business is fair, but that is the best
that can be said about it. The weather
still continues favorable and flowers are
coming in to town in abundance. Esnp-
fially is this true of ehrysanthenunns and
carnations. Of the former we have an
avalanche at present and the cmj* will
last for a few weeks more. With car-
nations, the majority of tlie benche;^ have
come into bloom and we will have quan-
tities to select from before the cold
weather begins. Prices are away down.
which is always a poor sign for the flor-
ist. The best of the fancy sorts yrc be-
ing sold at three dozen for a dollar and

a very few at 50 cents per dozsn. Or-
dinary sorts sell at about $2 per hun-
dred and less. Roses are fairly plenti-
ful, owing to the continued bright weath-
er. American Beauty sells at from $1
to $2 per dozen, Brides and Maids at
from 25 cents to 75 cents, according to
quality, and Meteor, Liberty and Testout
at the same prices. Paper White nar-
cissi are being sold to the stores at 75
cents to $1 per hundred stems. Violets
are not over plentiful and uulos we
get more rain the next few days they
will become even scarcer. They are sell-
ing wholesale at 75 cents per dozen
bunches. Valley is plentiful and o'iiy in
very slight demand; it sells at $5 per
iuindred. Only a few Lilium Harrisii
are seen, of fair quality. Indoor mums
are cheap. There is so little diir<.rence
between the flowers grown outside and
those from under glass that the retailers
will not pay high prices for the lat-
ter. As a consequence the best grade of
flowers can be had at from $5 to $10
per hundred. Smilax is becoming plen-
tiful but maidenhair fern is scarce. All
tlie summer and autumn blooming plants
have gone out of business and it only
nt ods a couple of good sharp frosts to
put the prices of the balance of stock

WINNIPEG. MAN.
T. W. Duggan, manager of the Dale
estate in Brampton, Ont., was in Winni-
peg during the past week calling on cus-
tomers. The Dale estate is widely known
as the largest horticultural concern in the
Dominion, and a representative of the
Free Press interviewed Mr. Duggan re-
garding the handling of the products of
the greenhouses.

"Is It true that you ship out flowers all the
way from Brampton to WlunlpoK?" asked the
reporter:

"Surel.v," rppUed Mr. Duggan. "thousands of
tlK-ni, mllllonH of them, right to Victoria, Van-
couver, and also Calgary. Regina. Brandon and
I'ortHge la Prairie, and we are sending five times
iiH many now as we did two years ago. We
regard it both as a certain sign of prosperity
imd of the cultivated taste of western people.
If liny one wants to know what class of people
; re living in the towns and cities of the west,
let them Inquire of the florists. They will find
that the best customers of cut flower dealers
1 re In Western Caiuida. As a sign of pros-
perity it Is also une<|ualed. You can readily
judfie how quickly flowers are cut out of a
citizen's expense bill during hard times. They
are one of the first things to go. When we sell
nil tlie flowers we can grow, you may be as-
sured that the country is as prosperous as It
can lie. and that Is the case at the present
iniinient. Wo have fourteen acres under glass —
quite a little farm — and we are behind In our
(Tilers. The Brampton greenhouses are still
much the largest In Canada, very much the
largest. The business was built up years ago.
Mild has always maintained its place. We are
splendidly located and have an Ideal soli for
Hnrlculture.

"The west Is the i-oinlng country, however:
there Is no doubt about It. Where you cannot
grow wheat you can dig minerals out of the
earth. You will never be the whole thing, as
they say. but you will l>e a very considerable
jinil in'iKirtant part of it. You rre Just on the
beginning of our career, and you have a most
important history before you."

Kenosha, Wis. — C. G. Anderson has
had a chrysanthemum show which at-
tracted many people to his place. A de-
parture with him is a house of lettuce
for local trade.

CHRYSANTHEMUM SPORTS.

The reasons for a plant proiiucing
sports are difficult to understand. A
week or two since I observed in a trade
paper an enquiry from a market grower
respecting the reason why nearly one-half
of his stock of the Golden Yellow Horace
Martin, a sport from Marie Masse, had
produced pink flowers? The season previ-
ous his stock of several hundred plants
was quite true. He planted this season
2,000 with the above result. A large
number of growers will be sadly disap-
pointed over the sport of Mrs, Barkley
sent out as Lady Cranston. The white-
flowered sport appeared in 1902, and the
stock last season was eight plants all
true to the sport. The form of the flo'-
ers was entirely changed, and they were
pure white or prettily but slightly flushed
on the crown (not the centrej with clear
rose-pink. It was certificated by the Na-
tional Chrysanthemum Society and the
Koyal Horticultural Society's floral com-
mittees, and also awarded the (silver
medal by the Scottish Horticultural So-
ciety, as the best novelty. All who saw
the blooms were charmed with them, and
there was a keen competition for the
stock. But, alas and alack! the whole
stock seems to have reverted to the orig-
inal Mrs. Barkley, for out of my stock
of about 100 very fine plants not a white
flower has appeared, and other growers
complain of the same thing. It is much
to be regretted. — W. J. Godfrey, in Gard-

MONTREAL.

The chrysanthemum exhibition of the
(Jardeners' and Florists' Club of Mon-
treal, has this year been marked by a gen-
eral excellence which demands beyond a
doubt the most strenuous efforts on the
part of exhibitors in the future to main-
tain the high standard. The success, on
this occasion, might have been due largely
to the keen competition set up by foreign
exhibitors, or »t any rate exhibitors from
beyond the city 's limits, but whatever be
the cause, it has been productive of results
beyond anticipation, and the show which
terminated November 11 has established
a record in scientific horticulture. It
I'eflects great credit on the club.

Among the exhibitors were W, H. Horo-
bin. Miss Eddy, T. J. Gorman, Eddy &
Sons, A. Pinoteau and many others. The
Tarrytowu fern of the i\ R. Pierson c.o.
was a great attraction. The judges were
E. Mepsted, of Ottawa; Miss Murray.
Me-ssrs. Wilshirc, Smith and Craig, of
Montreal.

NEW HAVEN, CONN.

The show which closed November 10
was one of the best ever held here.
Among the premium winners were: Da-
vid Kydd, Robert Paton, Gustave Gin-

aURELY this cannot be true ; well, we have over 100 growers who have written us^ a larg^e majority
without request^ their opinions ; we publish a few ot these letters in the columns of this paper; see
on pages 1348-49-51-59. what they say about the FUMIGATING KIND TOBACCO
POWDER. All began with a five-pound trial bag at our expense, which gave them an opportunity
without cost to prove its GOODNESS and our assertion that it was the most effective, cleanest and
quickest, as well as cheapest ((0 cents per f 00-foot house) article to fumigate with, and that all kinds of
aphis can be killed in one night. Let us send you a five-pound trial bag by express, it will cost you
nothing but the express charges on it, and be convinced tha^ what your brother growers say of it is
true. Our booklet tells of it; we mail it on request. —

FUMIGATING.

Some of the large growers have
dropped tobacco stems and are nOw using
a cheap grade of tobacco leaf. It costs
but little more than the stems and, as
the leaf contains more nicotine than the
stem, a smaller quantity produces an equal
effect. We saw the leaf in use recently
at the establishment of Bassett & Wash-
bum, Hinsdale, 111. The piles were
placed directly on the walks and consist-
ed of a double handful of the loose leaves
on a small piece of paper. The tobacco
was not dampened and it burned without
flame. It requires less watching and is
more satisfacory than the stems in many
other ways.

On top of each one of the piles men-
tioned above was placed a handful of red
pepper. The quantity seemed large as
the fumigating pilfs were only about fifty
feet apart, but we were told that no harm
resulted to anything except thrips.

Waco, Tex. — P. J, Berckmans, of
Augusta, Ga., was judge of the ninth
annual flower show, which opened here
November 9, continuing for three days
and achieving the greatest success in the
history of local exhibitions.

Osage, Ia. — ^Walter S. Hall is an en-
terprising florist. His annual chrysan-
tbemum show draws out almost the en-
tire population of Osage. This yeiir ho
has engaged the K. of P. band during
the show. If more of the florists in the
country would follow some of Mr. Hall's
methods of doing business and adver-
tising, it would increase the demand
for flowers to a considerable extent.

POOR DRAUGHT.

We have a horizontal tubular steam
boiler, fourteen feet long, grate 3x4
feet, with twenty-two 2-inch tubes. The
fitack is thirteen inches in diameter and
twenty-four feet high. Is it large
enough t There is a poor draught.

J.H.

The diameter of the smokestack is
ample and the length is sufficient, pro-
vided there are no buildings or trees
near which are taller and produce air
currents which would hinder the draught
of the chimney. The only fault in the
construction seems to be the size of the
grate, which it appears is too large for
the boiler and for the capacity of the
flues and stack. I would suggest that
you cover the grate bars next to
the sides of the fire box with brick so
as to reduce the grate surface to an
area 2x4 feet instead of 3x4 feet as at
present and maintain a clean, thin fire
over this area and note the effect. If
the draught is not improved the fault is
in some other factor. L. C. C.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

XOVRMBKR 17, 1904.

LILIES FOR EASTER.

I would like to ask what is consid-
ered the best way to hold back Japan
longiflorums for Easter and when is it
safe to put them into 65 degrees at night
and full light and 75 degrees in the
daytime? Will freezing hurt them be-
fore the top has started? Would a cool,
dark cellar do? Subscriber.

Japan longiflorums do not usually want
much holding when Easter is in early
April and we have received the Japan
bulbs in good time. We have for sev-
eral years past had no trouble in getting
them into flower in time, but ten years
ago, although the flowers were fine, the
plants were too dwarf. We did not
blame the firm that supplied the bulbs,
for we believe we put the bulbs into
heat too soon, that is, before they had
made good roots. The Japan seems to
<liffer from the Bermuda lilies in this
respect. Our experience and that of
a very successful grower of these Japan
bulbs, is that if they are well rooted by
the middle of December and have made
lut little top growth you will have no
trouble in forcing them into flower in
fourteen weeks in a night temperature
l)eginning at 55 degrees and increasing
to 65 and 70 degrees.

Heat, however, is the important point
that no arbitrary figures can be given
about. To answer the questions definite-
ly and to help those who may have little
t'xperience I would say leave them in a
♦•old frame until the middle of December.
Protect by banking the frame and use
double sash to prevent severe freezing.
A few degrees of frost will do no harm.
Don't think of the dark cellar. The
frame is the place for them. If you can 't
leave them out as long as the middle of
I>ecember, then a very cool house will
do until Christmas and after that, if
well rooted, force briskly. No fear of
your being too early. Remember that
after a lily bud begins to turn from
green to white the plant can then be
removed to a very cool house and the
bods will open slowly and last a long
while after they are open. W. S.
