The Weekly Rorists^ Review*

What We Claim for Our New Red Rose

(RICHMOND I

iBt.

Snd.

That it is the best red forcing variety yet produced because

It is of strong and rapid growth^ more vigorous than any other forcing variety in commerce.

It comes to perfection without special care or culture and can be grown in the same soil and temperature and with the
same treaJment given to Bride and Maid.

^, as it can be cut very tight and developes as well off as on the bush.

__^^^_^__ the same tone of color as Liberty^ with more scarlet and does not blue with age.

This variety is nearly a pure tea, being seeded from LADY BATTERSE A., fertilized by LIBERTY, and as a result has

shown no tendency toward going dormant in mid-winter, at which time the variety is at its very best.
Produces freely throughout the year, long pointed buds on tall straight stems with elegant dark foliage.
Is as easy to root, and grafts as readily as Bride or Maid.
Has as delicious a fragrance as American Beauty.

Was awarded the silver cup at the World^s Fair for best seedling; rose and a special silver cup at Chicag:o
for best seedling. Prices, own root— JOO plants for $30; 250 for $70; 1000 for $250. 500 at JOOO rate.

ROSALIND ORR ENGLISH

Our pink seedling; from Mme. Chatenay is unapproached in color; the bud is pointed, quite full,
borne on long; slender stems, beautifully set with foliag;e, free in g;rowth and bloom; the flower is very
beautiful from its earliest bud form till fully expanded. Was awarded certificate of merit at the Chicag;o
Show. $25.00 per JOO; $200 per JOOO.

MLLE* JEANNIE NONIN, very late white^ winner of the sweepstakes and silver cup at Chicag;o as

ThcWeekly Rorists' Review.

'*;*?l

The attendance at the Chicago exhi-
bition increased steadUy toward the end
of the week and Saturday night brought
a crowd which packed the halls to their
fullest capacity. The attendance has
been, on the whole, fully up to the ex-
pectations of the- management and,
coupled with expenses below those of re-
cent years, has made the show a financial
success. Artistically the exhibition was
very good indeed in point of arrange-
ment, Manager George Asmus being en-
titled to the highest commendation for
the very excellent disposition made of so
great a quantity of material that it was
all the more to his credit that the several
halls appeared so well. Much of the
stock failed of the display necessary to
bring out its good points, but this was
wholly due to lack of space. This is
resulting in an agitation which it is
to be hoped will take form in Chicago
having a real flower show next year.
Chicago had a real show this year ex-
cept for space. The same material, and
the same good work, with the Coliseum
next year will result in the greatest
flower show ever held in this country,
and with a popular price and favorable
weather like that of last week the s^t-
tendance should run far into the tens
of thousands.

The table decorations proved to be
one of the most attractive features of
the show, but here, too, the effect was
somewhat impaired by lack of space,
necessitating smaller tables than the ex-
hibitors had expected to use. These dec-
orations were all of the very highest qual-
ity, including chrysanthemums, roses,
carnations, orchids, sweet peas, etc., and
probably do as much if not more than
any other feature of the show to stimu-
late the people who attend to buy flow-
ers.

The carnation display staged on Thurs-
day was one of unusual extent and qual-
ity. At the close of the week the pro-
fessional interest centered in the seed-
lings exhibited. In chrysanthemums the
growers took an instant liking to Mile.

Jeannie Nonin, exhibited by the E. G.
Hill Co. It was easily ahead of every-
thing else in the seedling classes. It is
a very large round white bloom on a
strong stem, stiff necked and with f oUage
right up to the bloom. The center is per-
fectly full. The flower is of the Timothy
Eaton character, but the exhibitor stated
that Eaton is well past before this va-
riety is ready to cut.

Of the seedling carnations. No. 93,
exhibited by the Mt. Greenwood Ceme-
tery Association, attracted the most at-
tention. It is in the Scott shade of pink,
just a shade darker than Fiancee, well
formed and very promising. My Mary-
land, white, exhibited by H. Weber &
Sons, attracted much favorable comment.
Another sort which impressed the gfrow-
ers very favorably was Victory, exhibited
by Guttman & Weber. The flowers
came all the way from Long Island
to be staged on Thursday and were as
fresh as anything in the hall when the
show closed Saturday night. Fred
Burki, the new white exhibited by John
Murchie and S; S. Skidelsky, was also
well thought of by the growers. It
maintains its reputation earned last sea-
son. Eclipse, shown by Dorner & Sons
Co., was also well liked and promises to
be largely planted next year, with that
firm's last season's introductions, The
Belle and Lady Bountiful, which have
come to be the leading wMtes. Dorner
& Sons also brought a number of seed-
lings, among which were several which
will be given a thorough trying out. One
of them is a scarlet and another a light
pink of the Enchantress order. W. C.
Hill, of Streator, brought a vase of his
light pink sport of Lawson which a
great many liked. J. E. Haines, of
Bethlehem, Pa., sent fine blooms of the
scarlet named for himself and of Im-
perial, a very long-stemmed variegated
sort. The Chicago Carnation Co. showed
Illinois, a scarlet raised by W. N. Budd,
which has stems of exceptional length.
Geo. Von* Qualen, of East Orange, N. J.,
also sent a vase of seedlings and there

were a number of diher exhibits, in-
cluding several seedlings raised by Baa-
sett & Washburn.

One exhibit which was a winner with-
out being entered for competition was
the mirror pond bordered with pansies
put up by A. A. Sawyer, of Oak Park.
Another was K Wienho'eber Co. 's vaso
of Fiancee staged to show the color un-
der artificial light. F. R. Pierson Co.'s
exhibit of the Tarrytown fern also at-
tracted much comment from the ladles.
Mr. Fotheringham, who was present, was
kept busy answering questions about it.

In the oarnation classes for fifty blooms tbe
awards were as follows:

White Clond, Emll Buettner first, Poehlmann
Bros Co. second.

NEW YORK SHOW NOTES.

Dr. Hexamer, of the American Insti-
tute, was the happiest man at the close
of the big show, November 17. He had
orders in his pocket for over half of the
entire space for exhibits at the New
York flower show of 1905, which he de-
clares will be "double that of the present
year" and this was "the finest ever held
in this country." This was the verdict
of F. R. Pierson, Arthur Herrington and
several others who attended the World's
Fair show and returned in time to make
just comparisons.

W. E. Maynard is the «ecretarj^ of the
new society, which is to be known as the
National Association of Gardeners. He
announces forty charter members and
prophesies a membership before spring
of over four hundred. The members will
include superintendents of conservatories
and cemeteries, gardeners, trade florists
and amateurs and great enthusiasm is
felt concerning the organization and its
future.

Next vear's flower show will exceed

anything ever attempted in America. It
will be held earlier, larger prizes will
be given, immense exhibits of roses and
carnations are assured and no expense
or effort will be spared to make it the
greatest in the country's history.

The fine display of carnations made
at the New York Florists' Club'a meet-
ing Monday evening was transferred to
the American Institute exhibition on
Tuesday and added greatly to the inter-
est of the last two days of the flower
show.

The judges awarded a diploma to C. W.

. Ward's Carnation Robert Craig and a

\ certificate to Lieut. Peary. A diploma

was also awarded to Fiancee, from the

Chicago Carnation Co., which arrived

late.

Arthur Herrington blew in from St.
Louis and Chicago just in time to
"speed the parting guest" and to an-
nounce that even those giant exhibitions
of the weet could not approach tne New
York flower show of 1904.

Chrysanthemum EasigolcL

TORONTO.

The great fruit, flower and honey
show of which much has been written,
more has been said and for the success
of which the various committees of man-
agement have exerted every effort, has
come to a , close and as far as the floral
department of the work is concerned
their efforts were not in vain. In many
respects, from the florists' standpoint,
this has been the most successful exhi-
bition held in Toronto for a number of
years, and from the first day until the
close sensations grew fast and furious
upon one another. The judges for chrys-
anthemums were Jos. Bennett and J.
Robinson, of Montreal. Many of the
classes had a large number of entries
and the stock was of very uniform high
quality, necessitating very close judging.
Many awards were given on half points.
This caused i?ome of the exhibitors, who
did not receive prizes, to feel that their
stock was not fairly judged. Especially
was this the case in the competition for
the challenge cup offered by the Supreme
Chief of the Foresters, Dr. Oronhyatekha,
for a vase of thirty blooms of the va-
riety named for him, or, as it is
better known, the Yellow Eaton. The
competition was between W. J. Lawrence,
of I^linton, and Miller & Son, of Brac-
ondale, and the award being given to W.
J. Lawrence, Mr. Miller vigorously pro-
tested against the judging and took so
much lexception that Wednesday morning
he took a force of men to the hall and
removed his whole exhibit.

The manager of the floral department
of the T. Eaton Co., imported from the
United States a quantity of mums and
ro8^ and exhibited them in competition
witn\ home-grown stock. It has always
been a rule that stock must be exhib-
ited by the grower only, except in two or
three open classes, but this rule was,
through some oversight, left out of the
premium list this year. So vigorous
have been the kicks against it that it
will not likely occur again.

In the carnations the number of first
prizes won by Chas. Turp, a new exhibi-
tor, caused some surprise but the stock
exhibited was worth all it got, and
it is freely conceded that the carna-
tions were the finest exhibit ever put
up in Toronto at this time of the
year. In the roses the Dale Es-
tate showed some exceptionally fine

stock, and as usual Fendley's violets
showed jip to good advantage.

In design work W. Sewell, foreman
and designer for J, S. Simmons, entered
in his own name and beat his employer
for the coveted red ticket for the spe-
cial design of the show. The anchor
was an ideal ship anchor with chain and
was a very fine piece. In the baskets
and table pieces the competi^i0n~"was
keen and much was left to the taste of
the judge. J. McKenna, of Montreal,
acted as judge of the roses, carnations,
and design work. In plants the display
was not as large as was hoped for but
the quality of the exhibits made up the
deficiency in number. Three beautiful
displays of orchids were much admired.
In the fruit and honey section the display
was large and the demonstrations and
lectures given in connection therewith
were most interesting and instructive.
The show was well attended by out-of-
town visitors.

The following is the full list of first

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y.

The flower show given by the Dutch-

PROPAGATING.

The Choice of Wood.

To the careful and intelligent selec-
tion of wood suitable for propagating
purposes can be ascribed much of the
success attending the efforts of our most
successful growers. That the blooming
qualities, vitality and other character-
istics of the plant can be perpetuated
and largely improved by careful and dis-
criminate selection of the wood used is
beyond the question of a doubt and when
this system is rigidly adhered to from
year to year the stock, instead of deteri-
orating, all other conditions being equal,
is certain to improve and this often con-
stitutes the difference between success
and failure.

The question of using flowering stems
for propagation has yet many advocates
but, while seemingly possessing some
merits, is at least a very expensive meth-
od, as few of us would care to sacri-
fice so much bloom at the season when
prices are at their best.

Having for years practiced taking a
part of my wood from flower stems in
order to compare it with stock propa-
gated from blind wood and persisted in
always taking the flower stems, from
those plants propagated from such I
found that after the second propagation
that such varieties as Meteor, Perle and
Kaiserin refused to make sufficient
wood to be designated a ' ' bush, ' ' merely
throwing up a strong stem and when that

ess County Horticultural Society at the
State Armory outclasised all previous ex-
hibitions in beauty and variety and still
it was not a financial success, as the
management reported a loss of about
$300. The cut flowers and plants were
arranged with much taste and judgment
and the scene as a whole elicited un-
qualified praise from spectators. One of
the features that was most admired was
the decoration of three dinner tables.
Smith Bros, and W. G. Saltford had
fine centerpieces.

The carnations shown by Valentine
Burgevin were extra fine. The prize for
best violets went to Benjamin Willig.
John Scott was given a certificate for
Nephrolepis Scottii and the F. R. Pier-
son Co. for Nephrolepis Piersoni ele-
gantissima. T. De Voy & Son were rec-
ognized for their new geranium. Most of
the exhibits were from, and the awards
to, the private growers of the neighbor-
hood.

was cut, producing just such another
without the slightest tendency to develop
more than one eye at a time.

By selecting good, stout blind wood
from the upper part of the bush, where
it is exposed to sunshine and the free
circulation of air, we have an article
which, if it is of the proper condition
of ripeness, will root easily and under
ordinary treatment make a plant which
no grower need be in the least afraid
to handle.

When taking the wood great care
should be used so that no wood may be
cut from any plant the leaves of which
are off color or which in any way shows
signs of weakness, avoiding also those
plants which are in hot corners or in
shady places, as the wood from such
stock is weak and is certain to bring
trouble.

Immediately after being cut the wood
should be immersed in water to prevent
wilting, as the least wilt is almost fatal,
for even if the cutting does root it will
take a much longer time and consequent-
ly lose in vitality.

The style of cutting likely to form
roots in the shortest time and make the
thriftiest bush is also a matter of con-
sequence and deserves a deal of consid-
eration, the different varieties accordiifg
to their habit of growth requiring spe-
cial styles of cuttings. Bride, Maid and
varieties of like habit do well from a
cutting with three eyes, one of which
should be at the heel, thus giving one
strong cane from as near the root as
possible. Meteor and Liberty should
also be encouraged to produce canes from
such an eye, as after being once cut
these canes produce the best flowering
stems.

Such varieties as Perle and Sunrise,

if treated in a similar way, are apt to
produce plants which give crops of bull-
heads, so that in selecting wood for
propagating these varieties a less ro-
bust growth is desirable. In making the
cutting there is no' necessity to retain
the eye at the heel and to prevent an
extra strong development of any eye it
is better to have at least three on each
cutting.

Ivory, Golden Gate and Chatenay^
which possess the character of sending
up strong root canes, should be treated in
a similar way as that recommended for
Meteor and Liberty. Eibes.

CHRYSANTHEMUM EASIGOLD.

The illustration on page 6 shows
Chrysanthemum Easigold, raised by F.
W. Fletcher, Auburndale, Mass. It is a
seedling of J. E. Lager and looks like a
yellow J. H. "White. It is in season Oc-
tober 8 to 12, takes the market well and
is likely to be a valuable commercial
sort. The name is certainly all right for
such a variety. W. N. C.

A DIAGNOSIS.

We have eent you some chrysanthe-
mum plants which are diseased. We
should be very glad to be told what is
the matter with them and what to do,
or not to do, in the future to avoid the
trouble. M. & C.

The plants reached me in poor condi-
tion and I imagined that they had been
fed with a heavy dose of fertilizer. The
grower will know from the system of
culture whether I am right in the diag-
nosis. The leaves of the plants looked
as though they were scorched, a condi-
tion I have noticed on plants after they
have had a strong dose of chemical fer-
tilizer like sulphate of ammonia. If the
trouble has not been caused by feeding it
is one of the different forms of leaf
spot which is due primarily to an at-
mosphere overcharged with moisture.
This can be held in check in the early
stages by careful watching and spraying
affected plants with Bordeaux mixture
or potassiiun sulphide. Brian Boru.

TROUBLE WITH VARIETIES.

Can you give me the reason why Tim-
othy Eaton came so flat on top? Mildred
Ware has come very loose and poor that
year and Mary Inglis woula resemble a
big sunflower. Can you give reasons?

X. L. A.

Timothy Eaton comes quite flat on top
very frequently when the crown bud is
taken. On a late crown or terminal bud
the center builds up much better and the
flower is neater in appearance though
not so lajge in size.

Mildred Ware has been a disappoint-
ing variety this year and I am afraid
it will not develop into a useful variety.
It is one of the very best Japanese in
England, but that seems no indication as
to its value here. Difference in climatic
conditions is undoubtedly responsible.

I am surprised to hear of Mary Inglis
coming single. Any flowers I have seen
«et up of this variety have been very flne
with no indication of an eye. I am in-
clined to think that this grower took a
late bud. Try it on a crown bud, as
near the middle of August as you can
get it, and I think there will be no
trouble with it. Brian Bobu.

JAMES WHEELER. : i j

James Wheeler, the new vice-president
of the Chrysanthemum Society of Ameri-
ca, was born at Britford, near Salisbury,
Wiltshire, England, in a district famous
for high-class hams and bacon as well
as foi good gardens, on February 7, 1865.
In Novenrt)er, 1876, when only a boy of
twelve, he commenced his horticultural
career in the well known gardens of
Longford Castle, the property of the
Earl of Eadnor, first working for three
years under his father, who was fore-
man of the extensive flower garden and
pleasure grounds for twenty-seven years.
He next worked in the kitchen garden
for one and a half years, following this
with an apprenticeship of two years in
the greenhouses under H. W. Ward, one
of the best practitioners of that day and
now an extensive market grower for the
London market.

After leaving Longford Castle, he went
north and worked for two years under
John Mclntyre, Woodside, Darlington, in
the county of Durham on the estate of
Mrs. Gurney Pease. Mr. Mclntyre was
one of the best growers of specimen
plants in the north and won many prizes
at the exhibitions. After leaving Darl-
ington, he sailed for America, arriving
at Boston in March, 1885. He worked at
the one-time famed estate of S. K. Pay-
son, Belmont, for two years as fore-
man, and for eight months as head gard-
ener, leaving there in October, 1887, to
take the superintendency of the Joseph
H. White estate, Brookline, Mass., where
lie is still located

Mr. Wheeler has been a member of
the Massachusetts Horticultural Society
for a number of years and has been a
member of the plant and flower com-
mittee for several years. He is also a
member of the committee of arrange-
ments, in which capacity he renders the
society much valuable service. He has
been one of the largest and most success-
ful exhibitors of cut flowers and plants
during the greater part of his stay in
Brookline. He has served on the Boston
committee of the C. S. A. since its in-
ception. As a seedling raiser he has
been quite successful, J. H. White, a
good white variety, and Mrs. J. H.
White, crimson, being two of his best.

RAISING SEEDLINGS.

. Is it Profitable?

I have been asked many times by
visitors at our greenhouses, after looking
over the beds of seedlings in their various
stages, whether it really pays to raise
seedlings, and often we are asked as to
liow the fertilizing is done, etc. To
the first question we always answer,
* * Yes and no. ' ' If you raise a ten-
thousand-dollar variety every few years
and a few of lesser value between, then
it pays handsomely, but if you raise a
lot of seedlings haphazard and save every
^'ne that is not absolutely worthless and

fill your beds with them year after year
you will most certainly lose money on
the operation. That it pays those who
go at it systematically and with perse-
verance no one can deny. As you can see
if you lode about, nearly every lead-
ing variety we have today was raised
by some grower who makes a specialty
of seedlings. Now and again we get a
fine variety from some grower wtio hit
it by chance, but they are few when com-
pared with those offered by the special-
ists who raise seedlings each year and
cross fertilize with a definite end in
view.

That it is expensive, besides requiring
unlimited patience and work, these men
can tell you. They earn all they get
out of it. Seedling raising, while it is
fascinating is a nerve racking business.

No grower meets with as many disap-
pointments as the hybridizer and certain-
ly no calling could require more con-
scientiousness nor a stronger heart than
his. If you will stop to consider what
a small proportion of the seedlings that
are raised find their way onto the market
and how few of these again prove worth
growing for profit you will get an idea
of what it costs to produce a first-class
variety.

Few Are Meritorious.

I am sure that I am very conservative
when I say that at least 100,000 seedlings
are raised each year from carefully hand-
fertilized seed. Out of these perhaps
one-third will be housed and given room
and care the first winter, enough to plant
a good-sized range of houses. About
three-fourths of these are dumped and
about one-fourth are tried the second
year, from six to twenty of each kind,
taking up more room than the first year.
For the third season's trial the num-
ber of varieties is again cut down to
about one-tenth while the quantity of
each is greatly increased, using up at
least as much room as the year before.
By the fourth year, when the varieties
have been thoroughly tested, it will
be found that out of all those seed-
lings there are perhaps twenty-five that
are worth disseminating and out of these
perhaps one-half will be found really im-
provements over existing sorts. That
means that perhaps one out of every 4,000
seedlings finds its way onto the market
and one out of about every 8,000 is
found to be really first-class. I have
known men who raised many thousands of
seedlings but have to their credit only
one or two varieties disseminated, but I
also know of men who have raised only

a few hundreds with one or more stan-
dard varieties to their credit. In fact,
I know of an instance where only one
seed pod was raised and one of the
leading varieties for several years in its
class was the result. On the other hand,
one very prominent hybridizer told me
recently that out of between 8,000 and
10,000 seedlings raised in 1901 he has
not one that is worth growing.

Not a Small Grower's Work.

To the small grower who needs a
revenue from every foot of space on his
place I would say, let seedlings alone.
If you can spare a few feet of space it
is all right as a pastime, and it is fas-
cinating, but unless you go into hybridiz-
ing systematically, and unless you are
able and willing to devote time and space
to the seedlings, you would better not
dabble in them. You will not be likely
to get much out of it. Then, again, the
small grower is not in shape to reap his
full reward, even if he does happen to
strike a really fine variety, as it takes
room to grow enough stock to propagate
cuttings enough to be profitable. The
best he can do is to sell it to some largo
disseminator who will usually get more
out of it than the raiser. I have not
written the above with a view to discour-
age seedling raising, but rather to show
the inexperienced that seedling raising
is not the bonanza that many picture it
to themselves. It is pleasant to read
that the stock of a certain variety was
4old for $5,000 or $10,000, but when you

a bloom tie it to a stake so it will not
be picked or broken off and to keep it
dry. After the bloom wilts split the
calyx down to the stem to prevent
moisture from collecting around the pod
and rotting it. You will find some vari-
eties which will not bear seed, such as
Wm. Scott, Albertina, Mrs. Joost and
Crocker, while others will not produce
any pollen, such as Daybreak, Lorna,
America and Adonis, while still a few
others will be found entirely barren of
either of these two qualities.

Influence of Parents.

Sometimes we read or hear it said that
the one parent will have more influence
on the color while the other will influence
the habit or the plants, etc., but we find
that no rule can be laid down in regard
to that. Some varieties have a stronger
constitution than others and naturally
the strong will have more influence on the
seedlings than the weaker variety. For
instance, two years ago we fertilized a
number of blooms of a light red seedling
with pollen from Gov. Roo^velt and
nearly all the seedlings came crimson.
The same season we fertilized a number
of blooms of a light pink seedling we
named Beatrice with various shades of
pink and nearly all of them came light
pink.

When it is possible we prefer to use
varieties of the same line of color to-
gether, but of course it is not always
possible. For instance, we do not like
to use crimson and pink, or red and white

know what amount of work and room and
patience it took to get that variety it
does not look so big.

No Magic in Hybridizing.

There is no special trick or secret
about the operation of fertilizing the
bloom, as some imagine. To hybridize
a bloom you merely transfer the pollen
from one flower onto the pistil of an-
other flower. In a day or two the fer-
tilized bloom will wilt, which indicates
that fertilization has taken place. Ex-
perience alone will teach you the more
important points, which are the best
varieties to use for seeding, what vari-
eties will not bear seed, what varieties
to use together, etc. Any bright day
between now and March is suitable for
the work, as there is little danger of in-
terference from bees. After fertilizing

or light pink in combination, as such
crosses are apt to bring too many off
colors. Sometimes, however, we ruil

across a variety which has a fine habit
and we dp not hesitate to use it with
varieties of all colors.

Mark the cross on a little tag and tie
it to the bloom, so you will know what
you have when you sow the seed. These
records will also help you in selecting
your crosses in the future. The seed will
ripen in from six weeks to two months,
according to the weather, and it can be
sown as soon as it is gathered. You
will notice the shell enclosing the seed
turn brown when the seed is ripe. Sow
the seed by the first of March, if possible,
so as to have nice plants in 2-inch pots
by the end of April. If you raise a large
number you would best plant them in the
field and lift only those that produce

promising blooms, but if you have only
a few hundred you can pot them into
4-inch pots about May and bloom them
inside in the fall. We prefer the latter
way, but if you have several thousand
they would take up too much room in the
fall. A. F. J. Baxje.

CARNATION NOTES.-EAST.

, ; ',v : Q>m"plaints. v *

Under this head I may make what
some consider very plain statements, but
it is hoped they will be taken in the
spirit in which they are written, as it is
not the intention to berate anyone but to
caution all against careless practices and
help lessen the chances of misunderstand-
ing and strained relations between grow-
er, commission man and retailer. Com-
plaints are very often greatly exaggerat-
ed. If care be taken to follow them
up and learn the true cause the trouble
appears less than on first knowledge.

Every year one hears more or less
about sleepy blooms and, as a rule, re-
port has it that the grower is at fault
when, as a matter of fact, there is no
proof that he is to blame, as there are
many chances of injury being done be-
tween time of shipping and placing on
sale. Flowers may be ever so well packed
but the rough usage the packages often
receive in the hands of carriers and oth-
ers is suflScient to seriously impair the
value of the contents. Exposure to ex-
tremes of heat or cold while en route
must be taken into account but I believe
careless unpacking and handling in gen-
eral by those ignorant of the delicate na-
ture of the goods has caused more
trouble than is generally admitted. The
same rule that applies to the placing of
stems in water when cutting, should be
followed at the time of unpacking and
if the shipment has been over long on
the road about a quarter of an inch of
stem should be cut off, but not with the
scissors, as has been seen done. Use a
sharp knife.

Instead of selling at once, the stock
should bo stored for a short time in a
cool, dry place free from draughts. Even*
an hour of this as a breathing spell is
very beneficial. Some of these costly ice
boxes are perfect suffocators, either hay-
ing no ventilation or using the same air
over and over again.

Every grower should, if possible, occa-
sionally visit his point of outlet and ac-
quaint himself with the manner in which
his product is handled. Often a sugges-
tion from him will prove valuable to all
parties concerned.

These are a few points on one side of
the question but there is another which
will be treated later.

LATE PLANTED LAWSON.

We are sending a sample plant of some
Lawsons that we bought and planted in
September. We are at a loss ta account
for the foliage drying up. In fact, they
have not made the least bit of growth
since they were planted, none of them
any more than two or three weak shoots
around the stem just above the soil. We
should like to have your opinion as to
what is the matter with these plants.
The lower branches of the plants were
in this condition when they arrived but
we thought they would outgrow that.
We cleaned them thoroughly of all the
buds and diseased foliage before we

planted them, but they continued to get
worse all the time. L. F. C.

The plant you sent showed plainly the
trouble you complain of. While the
plant showed several leaf spots, yet there
were not enough of them to cause this
drying of the foliage. I am inclined to
think the primary cause is the late plant-
ing. Mrs. Lawson is a variety that is
very partial to extra early planting. It
does not seem to take hold and recover as
readily as most varieties when it is
planted late. The plants do not die out-
right, but they dry up like yours and
possibly break at the bottom later on.
These breaks, if husbanded carefully,
might make strong shoots after a time,
but it wouiu be very late in the season
and it would hardly pay you to trouble
with them. If the beds are as bad all
over as this plant I would advise you to
throw them out at once and make use
of the room as best you can until next
April or May.

If you want to grow Lawson next sea-
son, buy strong cuttings from some grow-
er who you feel sure will give you
healthy stock about the middle of Jan-
uary. Pot these in thumb pots and
repot into 2 1^ -inch or 3-inch pots early
in March. Between April 20 and May
10 plant them in the beds and you will
be starting in to grow Ijawson right.

I have repeated several times in these
notes that Lawson seems to enjoy indoor
culture better than any other method, I
know full well that there are many grow-
ers who plant it in the field with good
success, but you will find that those who
do it successfully plant it very early, be-
fore August 1. It requires more care
pven then than naost varieties during the
first month to persuade it to start into
strong growth. I am convniced that the
best way for the average grower to grow
Lawson is to plant it inside in May from
])ots and^ on a bed that gets plenty of air.

WORLD'S FAIR FLOWER SHOW.

While all accounts for the World's
Fair flower show are not yet in the hands
of the executive committee, the book-
keeping has progressed sufficiently far
to show that the exhibition was a most
pronounced success, financially as well
as otherwise. Not only will the first
assessment be returned to guarantors,
but it will be accompanied by a dividend
of possibly as much as the amount paid
on the assessment. The best feature of
this is the effect it will have when it
again becomes desirable to secure the
united support of the trade for another
undertaking of this character.

CURRENT COMMENT.

John Bertermann, of Indianapolis, who
was at the World 's Fair flower show and
was one of those who followed the troupe
to the Chicago stand, advocates a na-
tional circuit of flower shows. The only
objection seems to be the short season.

C. C. PoUworth, of Milwaukee, says
that he notes considerable increase in
the demand for palms of sizes for grow-
ing on. He says the Boston fern is

a better seller this fall than ever before.
Next year he will grow a big lot of
Scottii.

At the annual convention of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, which opened
at San Francisco last week, there was a
hot fight over seating John Mangan, who
had credentials of the Gardeners' and
Florists' Union, of Chicago. It was not
contended, however, that the gardeners
were not entitled to representation, but
that Mangan is a steamfitter, not a
florist, and works for the City of Chicago.

E. G. Hill has renamed his red rose,
Etna, which he has decided to send out
next spring under the name of Eich-
mond. It won the silver cup at the
World's Fair show as the best new rose,
but was debarred from entry for the cup
at Chicago by the clause in the premium
list, which limited the class to varieties
' ' never before exhibited. ' ' Obviously
the interest would have been much
greater if the list read "open to va-
rieties not in American commerce." A
fine vase was set up for the delectation
of the growers. Mr. Hill states that
his first order for stock was from his
neighbors, the South Park Floral Co.,
New Castle, for 5,000 plants.

Peter Eeinberg has two roses not
known in this country. Both were^rom
Peter Lambert. Perle von Godesberg
was a Schneider introduction of 1902 and
Lambert catalogues it in 1904 as "a
sport from Kaiserin, blooms somewhat
looser filled, center golden yellow, edge
lighter; growth good, bushy; good
climber and cut rose; variegates and re-
turns to original form. ' ' The identity
of the other. No. 61, pink, which was
given a silver cup at the Chicago show,
has been lost. Weiland & Kisch are
also growing Perle von Godesberg.

Late reports from London indicate
that never before have chrysanthemum
blooms sold at such low prices at Covent
Garden. It is on record that exhibition
flowers have sold for sixpence per dozen!

One of Wm. Duckham's greatest dis-
appointments on his trip to St. Louis and
Chicago was at the way the chrysanthe-
mum which bears his name is grown
in the west. He says that western
growers of the variety would not recog-
nize it as the same if they were to see

The trade visitors at flower shows
should refrain from smoking in the ex-
hibition hall, even though the manage-
ment be a little lax in enforcing this
rule. We of the trade are usually the
only offenders in this respect and it is
a distinct injury to our shows and our
business.

HORTICULTURES INTERESTS.

By Wm, Falconer, Pittsburg, Pa.

[A paper read at St. Louis, November 10,
1904, at the inception of the National Ciouncil
of Horticulture.]

I will not touch advanced horticulture
but strike directly at the foundation, that
is, the beginners, for it is here, I am sat-
isfied, that the greatest necessity prevails.

We should endeavor to convert to hor-
ticulture every person in this broad land
of liberty who owns a home or lives in
one, whose garden may be an acre patch
or a simple windowsill in a back alley.
Every living person has flowers in his or
her heart and would grow them in their
homes if they knew what would grow
there and how easily these plants can be
cultivated. Help these people and you
help yourselves and you brighten and
glorify this country. Our minds revert
to the lovely flower-filled cottage and win-
dow gardens of England, France, Ger-
many and other old country homes, and
the question strikes us — ^why not the
same here, and more so than there, for
means are more ample and prosperity
broader here than there! Your associa-
tion can help this. Beach those people
and show them how. The results will
stimulate the fiorist business by creating
a greater demand.

My long and intimate connection with
decorative gardening and acquaintance
with amateurs who would, if they could,
have beautiful gardens, convinces me that

or have the occassional help of a hired
man. The horticultural press scarcely
a- all reaches these people.

Every person who has a home lot wants
to beautify it and would do it if he
knew how, but the great majority of them
do not know anything about trees, shrubs
or garden flowers and don't pretend to,
but they are aching for reliable help or
advice. Your association can give it to
them. And in helping these people you
are helping yourselves, you are creating
a demand for your supply.

In an amateur who begins aright and
whose garden lot has been designed con-
veniently and appropriately, and whose
plants are pleasing and thriving, the
spirit of gardening is insatiable; he
wants more and more, and the contagion
of experiment seizes him and he becomes
a living impetus to your business. And
emulation seizes his neighbors and
friends J they behold in his garden the
proof of what can be done and what will
grow and they too endeavor after similar
results.

But let an amateur start in wrong and
botch his place and plant unsuitable ma-
terial and in an improper manner, the re-
sults are displeasing and unsatisfactory
and he gets disheartened or disgusted, his
interest flags and he and his place become
a horticultural frost at home and abroad.
Now. a little plain, practical, trustworthy
advice to this man to begin with would
have obviated all this and turned the tide
trom woe to joy and his home would
have been a glowing tribute to horticul-
ture instead of a cloud upon it.

Voluminous advice to a beginner is a
mistake; so, too, are long liste of plants
for any purpose. Let simplicity and
brevity prevail in all your teachings.
Don't advise a client unless he has abso-
lute confidence in you; then don't give
him the option of selection ; you just tell
him pointedly what to do and what to
plant ; you know, he doesn 't, and you '11
lift a mighty weight off of his mind and

in this line the greatest need of the
American people is brief, pointed, relia-
ble, practical information respecting their
gardens and what to plant in them and
how and when to plant it. This does not
appeal to public parks or pretentious pri-
vate properties where landscape or pro-
fessional gardeners are employed, but to
the small country and suburban yards
and town lots of the vast multitude of
our busy citizens who do their own work

the work that to him would have been
bothersome and laborious is plain sailing
and pleasure and doesn't cost him a
thought.

Different places, considering latitude,
location and environment may require
different treatments and different plants
for shade, use and ornament, but a few
general principles are applicable in all
cases: AH trees, shrubs, roses, vines and
perennials recommended for a certain

locality should be beaufil^E'fii" themselves '
and easy to grow. Every outdoor garden,
large or small, shoi^d nave interest and
beauty from frost in spring until frost
in fall, and selections for its furnish-
ment, even if only a dozen kinds, should
b9 chosen with this end in view. And as
all people yearn for cut flowers in their
dwellings, the blossoms of their gardens,
like peonies and lilies, should be such
as are adapted for this purpose. Avoid
expensive plants, miffy plants, weedy
plants, and such as have inconspicuous
flowers, but give them the gooa old-fash-
ioned favorites, irises, bleeding heart,
pinks, bell-flowers and the like, and be
sure to include some vigorous, floriferous
roses, of which Crimson Bambler shall
be one.

Don 't decry ' ' bedding ' ' plants, . be-
cause to do so may be a modern fad. Re-
member the scarlet geranium is the most
universally grown and popular garden
plant on earth; it prevails in the tin cans
of our poorest tenement windows and
adorns the painted parterres of our palace
gardens. A flower bed is intuitive in the
first gardener 's heart, and that 's all
right, but tell him where to put it —
never in the middle of his lawn.

Encourage poor people who cannot af-
ford to buy plants; show them what can
be done with a few cents' worth of seeds,
say nasturtiums, zinneas, Drummond
phlox and mignonette.

Because a man planted Carolina pop-
lars as shade trees and the borers rid-
dled and destroyed them, or horse chest-
nuts and thd larvae of the^^tussock moth
defoliated them, or a group of lilacs and
the- borers infested them and bark scale
killed them, don't let him get discour-
aged; you can help him. Some affluent
men want and get and plant the finest
varieties of rhododendrons obtainable
and they are charmed with the vivid
gcrgeousness and profusion of Ihese
shrubs the first year, and they are exult-
ant in their success and the envy of their
neighbors, but alas, the following year
their rhododendrons are dead or (lyi
and all of their happy hopes are bla."*"'
and they become disgusted with garden-
ing. Now, expert advice would have
saved them from this mortification ; it
would have named absolutely hardy eortr.
less brilliant in hue maybe, but yerr
after year they would have gone on i--
creasing in size and glory and exerting a
proud and exhilarating influence in the
gardening sphere of their owner and he'd
want more of them and his neighbors
would want some, too.

The vital question now is — how can we
best reach these people? My own experi-
ence is: Through our schools, village
improvement societies, practical men, our
churches, the daily press and local coun-
try weekly newspapers, and our com-
mercial horticulturists.

In the Phipps Botanical School at
Pittsburg 700 children of the public
schools are being instructed in botany.
The material used in their work is living
plants from the parks and conservatories,
and they also have field days in the parks
and woods. It is their favorite study.
And it is delightful to see how eagerly
and carefully they save their unused flow-
ers, slips, buJbs, roots or seeds and take
them home with them. Everyone of these
children is a horticultural missionary.
All school children should be taught to
know our common wood, field and way-
side trees, shrubs and flowers, and en-
couraged to know and grow the commoner
garden plants, and I would approve giv-

in^ them seeds to grow at home and
prizes for the best results of their culti-
vation.

Arbor day planting is a most laudable
feature in our school work, it is a gala
day for the children, and earnestly do
they enter into its spirit and heartily en-
joy it. It familiarizes them with trees
and the importance of forestry.

There should be a villag^e improvement
society in every town to encourage and
advise in the beautifying of the home
grounds and the systematic planting of
street trees. Many practical men, for the
asking, would most gladly advise them in
this matter. In fact these practical talks
by practical horticulturists should be
sought and encouraged by social clubs,
boards of trade and vUlage societies, and
tbey should be free to everybody. And a
most educating influence are village or
town flower shows and exhibits of win-
dow plants. And my experience in this
line is emphatically in favor of these
shows and exhibits being gotten up at the
expense of the town, and free to every-
body, and no prizes given. Make it a
social affair and have good music.

Our churches can do much good work.
A Sunday in June is children's day and
it is a perfect flower feast. In many <^f
our churches every child in the Sunday
school is presented with a potted plant
to take home and grow. And thus the
seeds of floriculture are being sown.

Our daily press and too our local coun-
try weekly newspapers can do a great
deal in disseminating useful horticul-
tural knowledge and reach people that
neither agricultural nor horticultural
periodicals ever get to, but it is right
here where the eyes of your association
must be the sharpest. You should pre-
pare the matter for ^hese papers, or have
it gotten up by competent men, so that it
shall be the concise, plain, helpful truth.

And our seedsmen, florists and nursery-
men can help most mightily. If they pre-
pare leaflets giving the proper cultural
treatment of the several plants or seeds
tbey sell, and enclose or pack these with
thfi^oods, what an aid it would be to
their customers !

A JERSEY ESTATE.

Cedar Court, Morristown, N. J., is
one of the most beautiful estates in
America. It is tJie property of Otto H.
Kahn, of the firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,
the bankers who financed the late
Japanese war loan, and some idea of its
value may be realized when it is known
that Mr. Kahn has refused a million
dollars for the property. It consists of
200 acres of rolling land, of which
fifty acres are utilized entirely as a

mansion is one of the finest in the coun-
try and from its portals the vista
stretches for forty miles. An Italian
garden is in process of construction that
will not be completed until 1905. An
eighteen-hole golf course is a part of
the unique addenda to the lawn and a
perfectly equipped modern farm with
dairy and all conveniences adds to the
interest of the whole.

All this has been accomplished within
six years, with an uncultivated farm

as the basis. A range of orchid, rose,
carnation and 'mum houses was erected
in 1903 and the stock in them is in
spleiidid condition. The chrysan-
themums were especially good and cap-
tured many premiums at the recent
exhibitions. The illustrations accom-
panying this brief note show the sunk-
en flower garden with 40,000 plants and
the courtyard and lily pond.

James Fraser has been superintendent
of the estate since 1900 and under his
direction the work has been successfully
completed. Mr. Fraser has had a horti-
cultural, exjierience of many years with
some of the nobility of Scotland and
England and comes of a race of Scot-
tish gardeners dating back to the time
of the French revolution. He has four
sons in the profession and is still a
young and vigorous man, in love with
his work, devoted to its development
and known among his confreres aa
"Pater Gardeniensis," the father of
gardeners. J. Austin Shaw.

CYCLAMEN.

Please outline the best treatment for
cyclamen in bud. c. P. N.

If your cyclamen are throwing up
healthy buds, there is nothing to do but
keep them free of aphis by frequent
light fumigating and tobacco stems
among the pots. Give them a night tem-
perature of 50 to 55 degrees, a light
spraying on every bright morning and
the fuJJest light. If your plants are in
5-inch or 6-inch pots and the buds are
forward enough to be in bloom in a
month or so, then don't attempt to shift
them. If in 4-inch pots and the buds
only just appearing, you can shift into
5-inch or 6-inch pots if they need a
larger pot. w. S.

large or small, should have ijiterest and
beauty from frost in spring until frost

There should be a village improvement
society in every town to encourage and
advise in the beautifying of the iMnne
grounds and the systematic jdaiiting of
street trees. Many practical men, for tlie
asking, would most gladly advise them in
this matter. In fact the.se practical talks
by practical horticulturists should lie
sought and encouraged by soci.al clubs,
lioards of trade and village societies, and
tl'ey should be free to everybody. .\nd a
Oiost educating influence are village or
town flower shows and exhibits ot win-
dow plants. And my experience ir. tiiis
line is emphatically in favor ot fliese
shows and exhibits being gotten up at the
expense of the town, and free to e'.ery-
bedy, and no jtrizes given. .Make it a

A Sunday in June is children's day and
it is a [)erfect flower feast. In many of
oui churches every (hild in the Sunday

The Market.

With the lessening receipts of chrys-
anthemums the market continues to show
a distinct improvement and there is little
likelihood of any congestion from now
onwards. The smaller sizes of chrysan-
themums, selling at from $4 to $8 per
hundred, are in active demand. The
large specimen blooms are hard to move.
Occasional lots seU at $3 per dozen, but
more frequently have to be cleared at
half that figure, "there is no mistaking
the fact that large blooms, however hand-
some they may be for window decora-
tions, are not as popular with buyers as
they were a few years ago. This is not
due to any desire for cheaper flowers,
but to a growing distaste for large
blooms. Growers who have large lots of
such kinds as Ivory, Bonnaffon, Wana-
maker (now coming in extra good) and
White Bonaffon have no trouble in dis-
posing of their cuts.

American Beauties are making rather
better prices. Brides are in brisk de-
mand and rather short supply. Brides-
maids are in heavy oversupply. While
the best bring fair prices, short-stemmed
stock is hard to move and the fakirs se-
cure large quantities, which they sell at
"six for a dime." Liberty is selling
higher, the best reaching $12.50 per hun-
dred. Small lots o'f Bon Silene, Saffano,
Chatenay, Kaiserin and Meteor come in.

Carnations show a hardening tendency.
Select stock brought $3 to $4 the past
week, ordinary grades $1.50 to $2. A few
very poor flowers sold as low as $1. The
Harvard- Yale foot ball game stimulated
the demand for violets, prices on singles
on November 18 and 19 going as high
as $1.25 per hundred. First-class flow-
ers still bring $1 and the supply seems
inadequate. Stevia is coming in and sells
at 25 cents per bunch. Paper White
narcissus is druggy. Cypripedium in-
signe brings $12.50 per hundred. Short
fronds of adiantum sell at 50 cents and
the best grade at $1 per hundred. There
is a good demand for Asparagus plumo-
sus and Sprengeri.

There was a very poor demand for
crimson chrysanthemums for the Har-
vard-Yale foot ball game last week.
Large quantities of Shrimpton and Cul-
lingfordii were in ice chests on Novem-
ber 19. Harvard's expectation of de-
feat apparently affected the purchases of
its supporters.

Horticaltural Society.

The annual election of officers of the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society was
held on November 19. Voting was by
Australian ballot, polls being open from
12 to 4. The following officers were
elected: President, A. F. Estabrook;
vice-president, Dr. R. T. Jackson; treas-
urer, C. E. Richardson; secretary, W. P.^^
Rich ; trustee for two years, Arthur D. ^
Hill; for three years, Geo. F. Pabyan,
Warren Fenno, J. Woodward Manning,
J. A. Pettigrew; nominating committee,
O. B. Hadwen, Henry S. Hunnewell,
John Lawrence, Dr. H. P. Wolcott and
James Wheeler.

President-elect Estabrook reconsidered
his earlier decision not to run and
Messrs, W. W. Rawson and W. H. Spoon-
er, the other two candidates, practically
retired in his favor. Mr. Estabrook is a
well known banker and a member of the
Boston Stock Exchange. He has been a
member of the society for a number of"

years and has served on the trustee board.
From his fine summer residence at
Swampscott, he sends numerous exhibits
to the society's shows and captures many
premiums. Being an ardent patron of
horticulture as well as a first-class busi-
ness man, Mr. Estabrook should prove
just such a leader as the society needs.

At the business meeting held prior to
the polling, various reports were read and
accepted. The trustees recommended that
the sum of $6,506 be appropriated for
prizes next year and this was done.
The trustees also recommended the elec-
tion of the secretary and treasurer by the
trustees instead of by the society in fu-
ture. A motion to ask the state legisla-.
ture to so amend the charter as to per-
mit of this being done was adopted.

James Garthley, gardener to H. H.
Rogers, Fairhaven, showed a plant of
Chrysanthemum Victoria, a cross between
Daisy and Garza, most nearly resembling
the latter parent. This received a cer-
tificate of merit and should prove desir-
able for pot culture.

Gardeners' and Florists' Club.

The meeting of the Gardeners' and
Florists' Club November 15 was well at-
tended. Seven new members were elect-
ed, including some of the most promi-
nent florists near Boston. J. K. M. L.
Farquhar reported that a balance ap-
proximating $250 remained from the en-
tertainment of the C. S. A. This will
probably be used in Msirch in connection
with the visit of the American Rose So-
ciety.

The annual election of officers resulted
as follows: President, James Wheeler;
vice-president, M. A. Patten; secretary,
W. N. Craig; treasurer, Edward Hatch;
executive committee, J. A. Pettigrew,
Patrick Welch, Harry Wilde and Samuel
J. Goddard. Regret was expressed that
President Pettigrew would not serve for
another term. During his tenure of of-
fice a wonderful change for the better
has come over the status of the club.

Robert Marshall gave an interesting
account of the recent New York show
and Robert Cameron described the exhi-
bition at New Haven. W. N. Craig gave
an account of a visit made with the gar-
den committee of the Massachusetts Hor-
ticultural Society to the new estate of
Commodore M. F. Plant, Groton, Conn.
Remarks anent the coming visit of the
American Rose Society were made by
Fred R. Mathison.'W. W. Edgar and J.
K. M. L. Farquhar.

A discussion arose as to the size of
chrysanthemum blooms in which J. W.
Duncan, James Wheeler and other mem-
bers took part. It seemed to be the gen-
eral opinion that large blooms are not(
now popular either in the Boston market
or on private estates. Smaller and more
refined flowers are desired. While the
big blooms continue to be popular at
exhibitions, there can be no mistaking
the fact that they have been overdone,
as is evidenced by the increasing popu-
larity of anemone, single and other neg-
lected sections.

James Wheeler, the new president, be-
ing called upon, made a neat speech,
thanking the members for the honor ac-
corded him and p'redicting a grand fu-
ture for the club if they would continue
to pull together and give him their sup-
port.

Variottt Notes.

On the next field day of the Gardeners '
and Florists' Club the establishments of

Wm. Nicholson, S. J. Goddard and J. T.
Butterworth, of Framingham, will be vis-
ited. <

Wm. F.Hunter, gardener- for Henry S.
Hunnewell, of Wellesley, died on Novem-
ber 8 in his forty-fourth year. Mr. Hun-
ter was a native of Scotland and much
respected by his confreres,' many of
whom were present to pay their last sad
respects to him at the interment on No-
vember 10.

Chrysanthemum Mile. Jeannie Nonin,
shown before the Boston committee on
November 19, by the E. G. Hill Co., was
much admired and has all the ear-marks
of a fine conunercial white. Its size
should also make it valuable as an exhi-
bition variety.

Herbert T. Capers is acting as sales-
man for Wilfred Wheeler at the new
market.

William Sim, of Cliftondale, reports a
big demand for violets. In fact he can-
not fill his orders. In late chrysanthe-
mums he considers the old Wanamaker,
which he grows largely, still one of the
best. White Bonnaffon he finds bruises
rather easily.

Thanksgiving day, while less import-
ant than the other great holidays, occa-
sions a good demand for flowers and
prospects at time of writing are for bet-
ter prices, especially in violets, carna-
tions and red roses.

Copley Square, Boston's finest open
space in the Back Bay section, is threat-
ened with extinction so far as any fur-
ther bedding out is concerned, and per-
petual disfigurement, unless immediate
action is taken to prevent the Boston
elevated railroad from securing the space
for one of its new subway stations.

Professor C. S. Sargent, through his
gardener, Charles Sander, has on exhi-
bition at Horticultural Hall this week
an agave carrying a flower spike some
thirty feet high which atthicts consider-
able attention. \

Begonia Gloire de Lorraine seems to
be the most popular of flowering plants
in pots to judge from the numbers seen
in nearly all store windows. Plants re-
tailing at $1 to $1.50 seem to be in
the best demand.

W. B. Arnold, of Rockland, has in-
vited the garden committee of the Mas-
sachusetts Horticultural Society to in-
spect his house of striped Lawson carna-
tion.

In the report of the flower show Wm.
Anderson, gardener to H. Dumaresq, Esq.,
should have been given credit for the first
premium on eight specimen plants, his
exhibit being especially fine. Robert Mar-
shall was first for three specimens Jap-
anese incurved with a splendid entry.

The Market.

There is not much to say regarding
the market the past week, although trade
in the retail circles has been fairly ac-
tive, at least so say those in the west end,
who do large decorative work for wed-
dings and receptions. Mrs. Ayers re-
ported six decorations the past week,
while her neighbors were also busy with
that kind of work. World's Fair orders
for cut flowers and decorations have
dropped off considerably and another
week will see the close of the great ex-
position, which brought a great deal of
work of all kinds to the local florists
during the seven months of its exist-
ence.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

• - The wholesale market the past week
had good supplies of almost everything
in season. There was a good shipping
trade, with big business for Thanksgiv-
ing day. The stock on Monday was
somewhat limited, most of the growers
holding off for Thursday, the big day
in the cut flower line.

The Beauty crop has fallen off con-
siderably of late and fancy stock is very
scarce with orders in for more than can
be supplied. The stock in other roses,
such as Brides, Maids, Meteors, Liberty,
Perles, Ivory and Gates the stock is look-
ing much better than it has been, with
less mildew. The demanu for these is
good and enough are in for the local
trade.

Chrysanthemums seem on the down
grade and not near as many as formerly
are coming in. Fancy stock in these is
becoming very scarce and another ten
days will see them out of the market.
Then the rose and carnation growers will
be happy once more and their stock will
bring a better price.

Carnations are becoming extra in qual-
ity and the demand so good as to clean
up the consignments each day at fairly
good prices. Some fine Enchantress, Wol-
cott, Joost, Estelle and Boston Market
were seen Monday morning.

Violets are now in great demand and
not near enough are received to supply
the local florists who have standing
orders. Romans, Paper Whites and lily of
the valley are the only bulbous flowers
in at present and they find a clear mar-
ket, as demands are good for this slock.
Plenty of good smilax is to be had, with
demand light.

The prospects for Thanksgiving are
very good at this writing, but stock is
likely to be scarce, so the wholesalers say.
The growers were early advised not to
hold back but to ship stock right along,
as prices early in the week were about as
good as they will be at any time.

Various Notes.

There is every evidence of a hot time
at the next meeting of the Florists ' Club.
The business to be transacted is of great
importance to every member of the club.
President Juengel will make a personal
appeal to every member to be present.
The membership of the club is 103. The
meeting will take place on Thursday
afternoon, December 10, al; 2 o'clock, in
Odd Fellow's building, hall No. 2.

Ostertag Bros, furnished the decora-
tions for the big ELrenning-Sutter wed-
ding the past week. This was one of the
fashionable events of the season. Henry
Ostertag reports two more for this week,
for which a large amount of stock will
be used.

Henry Felter, on Lexington avenue,
has had some extra fine chrysanthemums
in pots of fine quality. Among them
were Major Bonnaffon, White Bonnaffon
and Mrs. Jerome Jones, which had an
active demand.

John Connon, of Webster Groves, is
sending in some good stock in roses and
carnations.

A. Berdan, of Kirkwood, had a fine lot
of Romans, Paper Whites and lily of
the valley for Thanksgiving trade.

W. J. Pilcher, T. W. Ude, Sr., Charles
Tide, Hugo Gross and other Kirkwood
fiorists are sending in a good supply
of California violets, for which there is
a heavy demand at present.

It has been reported that Robert Tes-
son will again start in the growing busi-

ness after the World's Fair officials va-
cate his greenhouses, which they have
used the past eighteen months. Robert
at present is working his farm in Clay-
ton. This news will be welcome, as
Robert always grew first-class stock, es-
pecially in roses. »

Mr. Kalisch, who was hurt recently by
the street cars, is, from last accounts,
progressing nicely and expects to be out
in a few &ys.

The Florists' Bowling Club members
seem to have lost interest in the game of
late and the bowling on Monday night
has stopped until the busy season is over,
at least until after the holidays. Messrs.
Kuehn, EUison and Beneke are rolling
in the Palace league and Carl Beyer with
the Western league. J. J. B.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

Business last week was excellent, es-
pecially on the last two days, for chrys-
anthemums and violets but poor for
roses. There were a number of weddings
but transient trade was dull and prices
drooped at times. This week has opened
well, with prices advancing, especially
on Beauties, carnations and violets,
which are scarce. Thanksgiving orders,
both in the city and out of town, are
very heavy. There is an immense lot of
stock in the market. The growers have
learned how to do chrysanthemums at
the end of November despite the mild
weather. Timothy Eaton, Major Bon-
naffon, Mrs. Jerome Jones, all three both
in yellow and in white; Maud Dean,
pink; Golden Wedding, yellow, and a
few others make up the list. To these
must be added the snowy white Dorothy
Faust, a large, incurved, globular, Jap-
anese variety of exquisite finish which
Fred Ehret has been receiving since Mon-
day. The Leo Niessen Co. reports heavy
orders for chrysanthemums, also for car-
nations, of which they handle an im-
mense number. Prices on tea roses, es-
pecially the poorer grades, are lower
than in former years at this time. The
scarcity of violets is most unfortunate.
Many more could have been used to ad-
vantage, both Thursday of last week,
when New Haven wanted more, and on
Thursday of this week. Gardenias and
cattleyas are both scarce. S. S. Pen-
nock has an abundance of white orchids
and some fine long stemmed heliotrope.
The Cut Flower Co. has a nice lot of
mignonette, which is in demand. The
Leo Niessen Co. is again making a spe-
cialty of pansies, of which a great many
are sold. Valley and white violets have
sold well.

Business Instinct.

One of our leading commission men,
commenting on the want of business in-
stinct or sagacity displayed by many
growers at a time like the present, when
flowers are in demand, said that the diffi-
culty of securing buyers for the flowers
in times of plenty is forgotten and the
flowers are held back just before a holi-
day, COTnpelling the wholesaler to waste
precious time, to say nothing of money,
telephoning and sending for stock when
he should be filling his orders. The
wholesalers are the growers' representa-
tives. They understand how to sell flow-
ers better than the growers do, just as
the growers understand how to grow
flowers better than the wholesalers do.

Every grower should keep his wholesaler
posted on what stock he is to have and
ship it as required.

Various Notes.

Charles F. Edgar will next Monday
commence work with Berger Bros.

The trio of bowlers with Samuel S.
Pennock, C. J. Watson, R. G. Sheigley
and Charles Gray, again defeated the
trio with J. J. Habermehl's Son^, last
week, winning three games out of four
on uptown alleys.

The scene at Bayersdorfer & Co.'s this
week is full of animation. In the court-
yard large drays loaded with cases,
clerks hurrying about selecting stock for
orders, customers coming and going, the
members of the firm taking and filling
orders and directing their assistants with
business like precision.

Henry I. Faust, of Merion, is sending
heavy shipments of Maud Dean, Golden
Wedding and a Deven-like white, sold in
bundles of twenty-five sprays (nota bene,
Robert Kift), as well as di his beautiful
Dorothy Faust to Fred Ehret. He is,
in truth, keeping that active commission
man on the jump to dispose of it, all.

George Carpenter is sending fine pink
and red bouvardia to William J. Baker.

William J. Muth reports that the Cut
Flower Co. is already receiving large
orders for holly.

A. Farenwald, of Hillside, cut 45,000
Liberties from 10,000 plants in four
weeks.

Samuel S. Pennock received a flne lot
of Bonnaffons on Tuesday which "-brought
$3 a dozen. He also had a few choice
Carnation Judge Hinsdale grown at the
Strafford Flower Farm.

Theodore Edwards, of Bridgeton, is
sending fine Roman hyacinths and
Paper White narcissi to William J.
Baker.

Pennock Bros, had a handsome har-
vest display in their window this week.

The Review, the foremost florists'
paper of the day, got a week too far
ahead in announcing the opening of J. J.
Habermehl's Sons' new shop in the Belle-
vue-Stratford, which was again post-
poned owing to the strike.

in August or September and the quality
is much better than it will be after a
while. Clever business men like Myers
& Samtman have just laid in their entire

NEV YORK.

The Market

Between horse shows, football and sea-
sonable weather the last of the week saw
the beginning of better days. There is
surely a rising tendency in the market.
One hais only to journey observantly up
and down the great avenues of trade to
realize that Wall street is not the only
thing that is experiencing the autumn
rise. It may be the coming of Thanks-
giving, or the first faint sounds of the
approaching Christmas, or the opening
of the opera season, with all the wealth
of floral accompaniments it indicates,
but the fact cannot be gainsaid. The
retailers are all as busy as they can be.
Chrysanthemums have had tiieir day.
Stock of high grade from now on will be
absorbed as quickly as it arrives. The
flood is over. The best roses have ad-
vanced already and will doubtless hold
their improved averages. Carnations are
superb in quality and unlimited in vari-
ety. The new ones assert their impor-
tance and command high values, as they
deserve to do. Orchids have started again
for winter prices. Their growing pop-
0 ularity in all the large cities has a tend-
ency to make them independent of mar-
ket fluctuations. Violets again lift up
their heads. Any price asked could be
had on Saturday in honor of Yale and
football.

Various Notes.

The final sales in the auction market
draw near. Cleary's Horticultural Hall
had its great sale Tuesday of the pres-
ent week.

Haerens Bros., of Belgium, have dis-
solved partnership, August Haerens re-
maining in control and A. RolKer & Sons
continuing as American representatives.

F. W. O. Schmitz's importation of
nursery stock is larger this fall than
usual and of great variety.

All the violet specialists were crowded
with orders for New Haven on Satur-
day. One house shipped 55,000 out of
M-ders for 80,000, another 40,000 out of
orders for 60,000, and so on down the
line on Twenty-ninth and Thirtieth
streets. The demand was unprecedented,
V, the market was depleted and fair prices
prevailed. It is unlikely that violets
will reach above $1.50 per hundred this
season except on very special holidays,
like Christmas or Easter, and then $2
will be the limit.

The new ice box at the Cut Flower Ex-
change in the Coogan building has been
installed. It is immense and will prove
a most desirable convenience. L. J.
Kreshover has removed to much lighter
and better quarters in the building and
his branch store there is complete.

Frank Millang, on the early car Sun-
day morning on his way to his oflice,
was badly cut by glass from a broken
window. Bauman is sending some fine
Maud Dean and Jerome Jones chrysan-
themums to Mr. Millang daily.

Bonnot Bros, are shipping a good
many roses at present to Scranton and
other Pennsylvania cities.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles Smith, of Wood-
side, have completed their visit in Scot-
land and left for New York on Saturday.

W. E. Marshall, bulb and seed import-
er, has taken commodious quarters at
146 West Twenty-third street, near Sixth
avenue, on one of the busiest streets in
the city.

D. J, Mackintosh had a unique and
handsome window last week in which he
combined Ihe foot ball colors of Yale and
Harvard with silver stirrups and laurel
collar emblematic of the horse show.
He has opened a branch store in the New
Breslin hotel, Twenty-ninth street and
Broadway, and has associated with him
James H. Carroll, for eighteen years
with Thorley.

The Kervan Co., 20 West Twenty-sev-
enth street, near Broadway, anticipate a
fine season and have splsndid facilrties
for handling their growpg trade. They
will make a speciality of small Christ-
mas trees, as usual, this year.

Wertheimber & Co. have sold over 100,-
000 of their Alpha Christmas bells. Ad-
vance orders have completely exhausted
their stock.

Leikens reports a big increase in busi-
ness horse show week. Among other
crumbs was a large order for the land-
scaping and planting of a millionaire's
estate.

S. Masur, 238 Fulton street, Brooklyn,
has built up a good business in less than
two years on his own account. He was
with J. V. Phillips seven years. Last
week he had a decoration for the annual
banquet and ball of the U. S. Battleship
Kearsage at the Palm Garden, New York
city. Over 800 bouquets were used and
the decorations were elaborate. A promi-
nent bookmaker's death the other day
brought orders for several $50 wreaths
and designs.

J. v. Phillips has enlarged his store
and added to his window space until he
has one of the most attractive florists'
stores in the City of Churches.

Jos. Fenrieh has an unnamed new pink
mum on exhibition that is very brilliant
and a great keeper. He has purchased
the entire stock and already made ar-
rangements for growing it extensively
next year. He is handling a large and
especially fine stock of Bonnaffon daily.

Flatbush Bowling Notes.

Last Thursday evening's attendance
was light at the Flatbush alleys bu,t the
bowling was heavy. Davy Mellis, Will
Siebrecht and the Dailledouze boys had
finished their\ preparations for the match
with the New York Club and thought
they would need no further practice to
win, so they embalmed their arms in
witch hazel and ginger and rested. From
the scores appended it looks like a stren-
uous evening. Riley absorbed nearly all
the pots as usual. Ever since his first
born son arrived, Pat has been banking
these weekly offerings until now he has
to use a barrel and before the kid is 21
he will have several thousand dollars put
away for him. The veteran, Louis
Schmutz, has come to lifev again with a
200 record. The best gamek^follow :

Worker 114 115 140 147 177

Shaw 113 123 131 139 169

Bowlms;.

Mr. Fenrieh 's ambition as captain of
the bowling club is to have a team that
will arrive at Washington next August
with an unbeaten record. The trouble is
now nearly every member of the club is
good enough to be a member of the team,
60 the plan of choosing from the aver-
ages made weekly will be adopted, giving
every member encouragement to win a
place on the champion aggregation.

A challenge from Philadelphia will re-
ceive immediate recognition. Hereafter

matches with other teams will be bowled
on other than club evenings, so that the
regular bowling will not be interfered
with. This does not apply to the first
match game with Hoboken, which will
take place on the club's alleys next Mon-
day evening, November 28, when John
Birnie and his faithful Scots will meet
their Waterloo.

The contest with Flatbush Monday
night was a great success. A crowd of
over thirty visitors was in attendance.
The excitement was intense and the din-
ner elaborate. Flatbush was handicapped
by the absence of the Dailledouze boys
and were obliged to use Mesisrs. Fenrieh,
Siebrecht and Shaw to complete the
team. As a consequence they went down
to an honorable defeat and the promise of
a turning of tjie tables at the return
match in Flatbush. Following was the
score : ,^^

LORRAINES.

How can I get some growth on my
young plants of Gloire de Lorraine!
They are simply all bloom from the
ground up. Do you recommend disbud-
ding; would it help? C. P. N.

It is now too late to pinch off the flow-
ers of the begonias except it be the most
advanced. Stopping the plants, that is,
pinching the ends of the growths, would
be little use at this season, as you would
not get a new growth and flower in time
to make the plants attractive at the holi-
days and that is the time they are in
greatest demand. While its extraordi-
nary propensity to bloom is the great
attraction of this beautiful begonia, if
the plants do not make a free growth in
August, September and October they
will become stunted by this profusion of
flower. I don't think you can remedy
the trouble at this season. W. S.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

The market has been strong ever since
last report. The usual shortening up
before a holiday was very apparent a
week ago and up to Tuesday night the
receipts were of very moderate propor-
tions in comparison to the demand.
Tuesday evening, when the principal
shipping business for Thanksgiving was
done, found practically every rose and
carnation of shipping quality packed up
and on its way to an out-of-town buyer.
The city people undertook to pick up
some small quantities of stock on Tues-
day but found prices beyond their reach.
Beauties were in good demand and in
probably better supply than almost any
other item, a large part of the receipts
being of superior quality. Good roses
were short of the requirements for the
shipping trade and carnations of very
indifferent quality had to be sent out to
c<Mnplete many orders. Possibly the car-
nation market was stiff er than any other
department. A great many of the better
sorts of chrysanthemums were cut out
before the rush of Thanksgiving busi-
ness. The supply, however, was abund-
ant, with somewhat indifferent quality.
Home-grown violets were not in active
demand, but the Hudson river stock went
well. The A. xj. Bandall Co. says that
their customers out of town will not take
anything but New York violets. There
are again considerable quantities of cal-
las in the market and green goods are
abundant. Some good bouvardia is seen,
also a few sweet peas. Lily of the valley
is plentiful, also Paper Whites.

Practically every out-of-town buyer
was heard from for Thanksgiving but in
many cases the requirements were not
large. It is thought, however, that the
Thanksgiving shipping business will foot
up equal to the best previous record.
City trade on Wednesday took fair quan-
tities of stock, but the pressure was con-
siderably relieved and receipts increased
as usual, for there are many growers who
will not learn that the best market is al-
ways the second day before a holiday.

Sunday and Monday saw a very active
demand for flrst-class stock for funeral
purposes, for on Monday two of Chi-
cago's best known citizens were buried,
Arthur J. Caton and Judge Moran. All
the leading retailers supplied good work.

A Permanent Hall.

The great success of last week's flow-
er show has renewed the talk of a per-
manent place for our exhibitions. In
Paris there is a building which is erect-
ed and removed whenever required. Such
a one is talked of for the lake front. C.
L. Hutchison is its sponsor.

The Banquet.

There were seventy-seven at the supper
at the Union Thursday evening, Novem-
ber 17, several prominent gentlemen of
the local contingent being conspicuous by
their absence, and there were also other
visitors whom it would have been a pleas-
ure to have had present. The repast was
all right and so was the music. W. N.
Rudd, president of the Florists' Club,
presided. Among the speakers were Wm.
Duckham, Paul Dailledouze, W. A. Ken-
nedy, Geo. Asmus, P. J. Hauiswirth and
J. C. Vaughan, of the trade, and Mayor
Crolius, of Joliet. John P. Degnan, who
arranged the affair, is to be congratula-
ted on its success.

Various Notes.

E. C. Amling says that it is a mistake
for the growers to regard Thanksgiving
as an occasion necessitating hoarding up
stock to secure a supply. Cuts are al-
ways large at this season and, with large
quantities of mums in the market, the
question is only one of getting enough
good stock. Hoarding up never im-
proves grades. He has his growers pret-
ty well enlightened in this respect.

over 150 trade visitors registered at the
flower show last week.

N. Jj^ Wietor says that they are prac-
tically'' cut out on mums, nearly three
weeks earlier than last year.

The north end of State street, the
block from Randolph to Lake, must be a
very good stand for a flower store, since
three seem to thrive on one side of the
street. T. D. Mosconesotes has been in
the Masonic Temple for years. Bohanon
& Conger opened a little over a year ago,
at the north end of the block, and about
the same time Henry Klunder opened be-
tween the two. Each keeps a very neat
place. Since Fleischman moved to
Jackson . boulevard these are the only le-
gitimate flower stores on the street.

Vaughan & Sperry are still getting in
very fine Kaiserins, especially notable
because so late in the season.

Edgar Sanders was down to the flower
show for a few hours Friday afternoon
and there was no visitor during the week
whom the boys were more glad to see.

Percy Jones is getting in about 2,000
fine mums a day this week and his corner
of the market is a busy place.

Chas. Heim has withdrawn from part-
nership with his two brothers at Blue
Island and has put up a couple of new
houses across the street.

N. Armbrust, at Oak Park, one of the
veterans of the craft, had a very large
wedding order not long since, the MaJone
wedding. The decorations included both
church and house. At the church sixty
palms were used, also quantities of wUd
smilax, mums and several hundred feet
of ribbon. Besides mantel and other
work in the parlor there was a large
arch of asparagus from which hung a
bell under which the bridal couple stood
to receive. In the hall, second parlor
and dining room large quantities of
mums, roses and carnations were used, as
well as green stuff. The musicians were
in the conservatory, screened by two ivy
plants eight feet high and six broad.
All told, a great quantity of stock was
used.

Spencer, Ia. — Carl Seigle, who has
been florist with Dr. W. P. Woodcock
for a number of years, has gone to his
old home in Germany for a visit.

FUMIGATION.

"Will ferns, like the Boston and that
type, bear the same fumigation that roses
will! C. P. N.

We have never noticed that fumiga-
tion did any harm to the Boston ferns,
but a heavy, dense smoke would be lia-
ble to brown the fronds and stunt the
young growths. They would certainly
stand all the smoke that roses would
bear. Burn tobacco dust, which will give
you all the benefit of the nicotine with-
out the hot smoke, and you will hurt
neither ferns nor roses. W. S.

ROCK WAS FIHST.

In the World 's Fair flower show W. L.
Rock was first on table decoration with
a very fine centerpiece of orchids. F.
H. Bowe was second with a fine monnd
of Chatenay roses. The statement that
Mr. Rowe won first, in the advertisement
of Poehlmann Bros. Co. last week, was
a typographical error. To be second to
so good a table as Mr. Rock's was a
high honor.

Vegetable Forcing.

FORCING ASPARAGUS.

The forcing of asparagus may be be-
gun any time after the tops have died
down, but if it is allowed a short season
of rest and left in the ground until it
has been frozen over a few times it will
respond all the better to forcing. To
have asparagus ready to cut for Christ-
mas, however, it is necessary to have the
crowns in the forcing quarters not later
than the first of December. Under the
most favorable conditions cutting will
begin three weeks from the time the
crowns are put in the forcing quarters,
but- this is cutting it pretty fine and it
is safer to allow four weeks. It is better
to be a few days early than a few days
late. If it is necessary to cut some of
it a few days before it is wanted it can
easily be kept by setting the ends of the
bunches in water. Treated thus and
placed in a temperature of about 40 de*
grees it will be all right for' a week or
more.

A supply of crowns sufficient to last
the whole season should be lifted before
the ground is frozen too hard. They can
be stored in a cool cellar, where they
should be covered with some loose ma-
terial, such as leaves or straw, anything
that will keep the roots slightly moist
and prevent them from drying up or
shriveling. If a cool cellar is not avail-
able they will keep well in a pit, which
should be dug deep enough to be below
the frost line. Here they can be covered
so as to be easily reached in any kind
of weather. It is not always convenient
for the forcer to grow his own plants but
where this can be done it is the best
and most profitable way. When shipping
from a distance more or less vitality is
sure to be lost through breakage of the
roots, drying or being subjected to ex-
treme temperatures.

Forcing quarters are not of the utmost
importance as long as the proper temper-

ature can be maintained. A good article
can be produced in a mushroom house or
under a greenhouse bench, but the best
possible forcing place is a pit where
about two feet of stable manure can be
put in the bottom. Our pits are built of
brick, about four feet deep with one 4-
inch hot water pipe running all the way
around. With this pipe we can keep the
desired temperature after the heat of
the manure begins to fail. After the heat
of the manure has dropped to about 60
degrees we cover with about an inch of
sand. On this the plants are set and
covered to a depth of three inches, sand
being again used for this purpose. Fre-
quent waterings are given, so as to keep
the sand moist. A night temperature of 60
degrees and a day temperature of 70 to
75 degrees is maintained, but at first a
little air is left on night and day to let
the steam from the manure escape.

W. S. Croydon.

STEM-ROT OF CUCUMBERS.

Kindly inform me what the trouble is
with my cucumbers. When the vines are
about two feet high they become brown
or rusty at the stem. The vines grow
fairly well for a time, finally the rust
eats into the stem. The leaves in the
meantime become blotched or take on a
burnt appearance. Finally the vines col-
lapse. The soil is three-fourths sandy
loam and one part old cow manure with
a little slaked lime. The night tempera-
ture is from 55 to 60 degrees. The va-
riety is White Spine. I send a part of a
stem for inspection. J. L. M.

The trouble is what is commonly known
as stem-rot. This trouble can be avert-
ed by planting your cucumbers in hills.
In place of filling the benches all at
once, make a hill of a few shovelfuls of
soil, set the plants in this and when the
roots appear on the outside add more
soil. Planting thus insures against the
lodgment of water around the necks of
your plants. For these hills special care
should be taken to have the soil as fibrous

as possible and not broken too fine;
when rough and open the free passage of
water is insured. The ^addition of char-
coal to the compost also greatly assists
in keeping the whole sweet. The mbrture
you are iising will do very well for adding
later, as by the time the roots appear
and it is necessary to add more soil the
plants should be past the danger stage.
Be careful not to have the atmosphere of
the house too close and humid and try
and run the temperature about 5 degrees
higher than you are doing now. If you
have any plants under way which are not
yet affected with the disease you may be
able to save them by taking the soil away
in a circle about a foot from the plants
so that the water will not lodge around
the plants and immediately around the
necks of the plants make rings of pow-
dered charcoal. W. S. Croydon.

a considerable task.

The firm of C. Platz & Son has been

Herbert W. Johnson, of Johnson &
Stokes, Philadelphia, was the successful

A TOUR AMONG CALIFORNIA
SEED GROWERS.

Having journeyed up the river from
San Francisco, the first stop is at Isle-
ton. It is a typical up-the-river port.
It was night when we reached the place
and after supper, there being a Chinese
village there, we went out and had a
glimpse of the home life of the China-
man. Early in the morning we started
out to see the s^ed fields.. The crops up
the river compared favorably with those
at Santa Clara and Gilroy but seemed to
be nearer the cutting stage. July 8 was
the date on which these fields were seen.
The Morse plantings up the river were
quite extensive and were looked after in
a manner comporting with the Morse
standard of procedure, which is Al in
all particulars. We did not have time
to see all the fields, but what we did see
was enough to demonstrate that if the
levee system is safe there is a sufficient
acreage available for seed growing up
the river to grow a good many pounds
of garden seed.

In the judgment of the growers there
is one drawback to this part of Cali-
fornia for onion seed growing, and this
is the hot winds which sometimes pre-
vail. These have a tendency to blight
the seed ball and lessen the quantity
at harvest if they come at a critical
time. It ia not thought that the hot
winds affect the other crops so much.

We had promised Charles Parker when
leaving him at the boat the day be-
fore that we would get to his place by
noon if possible. It was a drive of some
miles, besides being on the other side of
the river. We hustled up the horse and
got to a ferry where they took us, and
the horse and buggy, across in the old-
fashioned way. We had dinner with Mr.
Parker, saw some of his fields of onion,
radish, etc., also saw fields that Mr. Wil-
cox had in the vicinity and discussed the
plantings of the other growers, whose

fields we had to cut out, owing to lack
of time. These growers, with the excep-
tion of a Mr. Metson and a Mr. Eyder,
who are also interested in growing seeds
more or less up the river, have been men-
tioned previously.

The time for returning home arrived,
we left Mr. Parker wrestling with a
threshing machine he was setting up,
and reached San Francisco late in the
evening.

The account of this tour is written
from memory, and for that reason many
things of interest have undoubtedly been
overlooked. In the recital a fairness
to all the growers has been aimed at.
In summing the thing up it may be said
that from Los Angeles to the end of the
trip every grower visited was very
courteous and free to give any informa-
tion that would in any way help toward
an intelligent idea of the scope of oper-
ations. No jealousy was shown by one
grower if the visitor elected to accept
his competitor's offer of conveyance in
preference to his equally kind offer.
Each grower was also willing to concede
any existing advantage a competitor
might have over him in a given line of
work. This sort of thing put one at
his ease, and the kindly effort of each
to make the visitor feel at home is a
pleasant recollection.

DUTCH BULB REPORT.

The unusually fine and dry weather
has put the bulb fields in such a perfect
condition as we have not experienced
for the last ten years, and planting op-
erations have now almost been com-
pleted, under most extraordinary favor-
able conditions. Shipments of both
early and late ripening goods have now
come to an end and although prices
have ruled much too low, the clearing
of hyacinths has been a most thorough
one, and even in white hyacinths the
scarcity has been very general, causing

a sharp rise in the market. Crocus have
also cleared off in a most satisfactory
way, and it is quite apparent that the
outlook for the grower of good crocus
stocks is a much better one. English
iris have moved rather slowly this sea-
son, and Spanish iris are somewhat of a
drug in the market at present. The
yearly increasing demand for bedding
tulips has caused the cheaper sorts to
be in good demand and some of these
have even gone up in price. The more
expensive sorts, such as are principally
used for forcing, have, however, not
cleared off so well, owing to the high
prices asked for them, but as soon as
these prices have come down again to a
more reasonable level, they are sure to
find as good a market as previously. —

POTS FOR LILIES.

Can I grow longiflorums, 5-7 bulbs, in
4-inch pots and do it successfully?

C. P. N.

There is quite a difference between a
5-inch and 7-inch bulb. A 5-inch bulb
can be flowered in a 4-inch pot, and they
often are, although to give a fine flower
and healthy green foliage, they should
have a 5-inch pot. The 7-inch bulbs
should most decidedly be given a 5-inch
pot. W. 8.

Fitting Old Tubes.

Having made some joints in liot water
pipe, last and also this season, that have
proven very satisfactory, I believe O, N.
can fit his boiler tubes with the same
material. Mix litharge with glycerin into
a very thick paste or putty. If this is
used the sleeve need not be more than
half as long as in L. C. C. 's method and
mix only enough for one joint at a time, as
it sets quickly and very hard. Start
the joint the same as L. C. C. describes,
then put some of the litharge all around
and drive it up with a roll of packing,
then more litharge and more packing, till
the joint is full, finishing off on the
outside nice and smooth with the
litharge. The litharge cost me 10 cents
per pound and the glycerin 35 cents per
half -pint, making the joints in the regu-
lar 4-ineh hot water pipe cost about 10
cents each. The writer knows of joints
made with this material seven years ago
which are still good. G. H. M.

I see in last week's Ekvikw that some-
one wishes to know how to fit 3-inch
boiler tubes, so send my way of fitting
them, as we use them and nothing else.
For fitting 3 or 3i/^-inch boiler tul^s for
greenhouse heating with hot water, take
a piece of 4-inch tubing six or seven
inches long for a sleeve coupling or have
a tinner make them of heavy ^vanized
iron, riveting seams and soldering same
to make them water-tight; then slip the
coupling on the tube, bringing the two
tubes together as close as possible. Take
a piece of oakum or tow flattened out to
two inches wide and' one-half inch thick,
just long enough to reach around the
tube; spread cement on one side of the
oakum and bind this over the seams
with string where the two tubes meet,
80 the cement will fill the crack, then slip
the coupling on so the ends will be equal-
ly distant from the jointed ends; now
press in cement at each end as firmly as
possible, leaving one inch to be filled after
the cement is hardened, then fill in the
same as before. Use Portland cement
without sand, mixed with as little water
as it can be used easily. To fit tees and
elbows bind a narrow band of oakum
around the end of the tube, then slip
the fitting on and fill as before ; see that
the tubes lie solid while doing the work.
If done right they are indestructible. A
little oakum pressed in vrith the cement
will make it pack easier.

this subject.

"It is stated," says the Grardeners'
Magazine, "that J. D. Rockefeller is
forming,- at his new residence, Pocantieo

OCEANIC N.J.

At the Monmouth County Horticultural
Society's meeting, November 18, all the
prize money was ordered paid, and there
was a surplus of more than $100 from
the receipts of the recent show.

The discussion of the evening was on
San Jose scale. Mr. Hale said that
he had tried soda, salt and sulphur, also
caustic soda and Paris green, without
any effect. Others stated that the lime,
salt and sulphur application damaged
trees and did not destroy the scale on
apple and pear trees. Mr. Turner said
that he sprays his pear trees in pots
mth the latter solution and there is no
scale left. Mr. Hale sprayed his trees
Avith crude oil (insecticide oil) and his
trees are now clean. But the members
came to the conclusion that no orchard
can be kept clean while the neighboring
orchard is neglected and that the matter
of compulsory spraying should be agi-
tated.

At our next meeting, December 2, the
discussion will be on "Bose Culture Un-
der Glass." B.

Columbus, 0. — The stock of the Liv-
ingston Seed Co. is in very fine shape and
they report business very satisfactory.

Marion, 0. — F. E. Blake combined his
flower show with the fall opening of a
department store and each made an ad-
vertising success.

PIPING.

I have a house 12x50 feet, with one
gable glass and two feet of glass on the
sides, double boarded with building pa-
per between. How many runs of •2-inch
pipe will be needed to keep 65 to 70 de-
grees in cold weather and how would
you pipe for hot water and for steam f

G. L.

In order to provide a temperature of
70 degrees during isevere weather it
will be necessary to use 520 feet of 2-
inch pipe when hot water at 180 degrees
JP. is used and 400 feet of 2-inch pipe
if steam under five pounds pressure is
used. In a narrow house of this de-
scription it. will undoubtedly be best to
arrange the pipes in two coils, one un-
der each side bench, if elevated benches
are used; if not and it is possible to ar-
range the coils on the side walls, this
can be made to work satisfactorily. In
the case of the hot water it will be nec-
essary to place six pipes in one mani-
fold and five in the other, as eleven
pipes are all that are required. The
coils ^ can be so constructed that one
pipe in each set acta as a supply pipe,
while the other five, or four, as the
case may be, return the water to the
boiler. The same scheme may be used
with the steam, but instead of there be-
ing six and five pipes in the coils re-
spectively there will be eight pipes in
all, or two coils of four pipes each.

If it is not desirable to use this plan
of piping, the steam system can be in-
stalled as folloiws: Run one 2^inch
pipe under the ridge as a supply from
the boiler, making, if possible, the point
directly over the boiler the highest
point in the system. Allow the supply
pipe to slope gently from this point to
the most distant end of the greenhouse
and there divide it to supply each of
two coils consisting of five 1^4 -inch
pipes, or ten 114-inch pipes in all.
These can be toade up with a manifold
tee or with tees and nipples and pro-
vided with swing joints to care for the
expansion. This is, to my mind, the
most desirable arrangement and the
beet size of pipe for steam heating.
With a small plant such as above stat^
hot water will undoubtedly prove most
satisfactory. If hot) water is used an
ample expansion ^^ should be pro-

PoNTiAc, III. — W. J. Miller & Son
report a fair business this fall because
their mums were of especially good qual-
ity, but the weather has been unfavor-
able for brisk trade.

NEW ORLEANS.

The regular monthly meeting of the
New Orleans Horticultural Society was
held November 17 at Kolb's Hotel, in St.
Charles street. Harry Papworth, the
president, called the meeting to order,
and M. M. Lajwuyade was elected secre-
tary pro tem., in the absence of the reg-
ular oflScer.

There was an exhibit of Piersoni ele-
gantissima and some of the newest mums
from the north were shown, including
Wm. Duckham.

In the general discussion of trade con-
ditions, it developed that the retail flower

trade of New Orleans during the last
month had been considerably larger than
last season . The demand, it was shown,
was larger for the better and higher
priced varieties of flowers, and the white
chrysanthemum had proven a better sell-
er than other colors this autumn.

KANSAS CITY.

Variotis Jottings.

Sam Short reports business rushing at
Kansas City, Kans. .

W. J. Barnes is doing a rushing busi-
ness these days and has just finished a
new carnation house.

The W. H. Humfeld Floral Co. has a
magnificent display of mums. The green-
houses are thronged with sight-seers all

day.

It is reported that an effort is to be
made to have another flower show here
next fall. Everyone with whom I have
talked seems to favor it and, with every-
one satisfied, the florists of Kansas City
will make it a show long to be remem-
l)6r6cl.

D. Freudenthal, of the U. D. Flower
Co., says the fair has cost him about
$500 loss in a business way, but he ex-
pects to make it all up before spring.

G. P. Kaupp, of G. P. Kaupp & Son,
Nevada, Mo., has been visiting here the
past week. Mr. Kaupp reports good
business in his home town and to supply
the increasing demand had to build a
new house 22x100 for carnations and
mums.

Mrs. Jewell, who has recently started
in business on Grand avenue, is getting
a lot of work from the Police Depart-
ment.

The Alpha Floral Co. must be doing
good business, as they have placed a gor-
geous new refrigerator in their store on
Walnut street.

There are millions of pots used in and
around this city every year and it is al-
most impossible some times to get pots.
Our city is the center of a niost popu-
lous country, railroads reaching every-
where, water, gas and fuel in abundance,
clay for the digging, and why a pottery
has never been established here is a mys-
tery to me.

Samuel Murray was a shining light at
the Commercial Club banqnet last week.

can be had by applying to the secretary.
This meeting will be held January 28
and 29, 1905, and will be the place to

than that in Chicago.

The Market

Trade is medium. There is a fairly
active demand but nothing startling.
There have been but few weddings or re-
ceptions this fall and many of our best
florists report that their business in this
respect has fallen way behind last year.
General trade averages fairly well but
stock does not bring as good an average
price as last year. This is especially true
of mums, which will undoubtedly aver-
age considerably behind last year. The
large exhibition varieties suflfer the most.
The small-sized ones that sell at from
$3 to $8 per hundred have the best call
at all times and it is seldom that there
is enough of this grade of stock to satis-
fy the demand. There was a pretty good
lot of advance orders for Thanksgiving
and that tended to keep the prices up.

Roses are arriving in fairly large
quantities and of very good quality.
They are eelling better, also. The quoted
price is being held stiffer. Red roses are
about the only kind that are scarce.
Meteor and Liberty are not equal to the
demand and Beauties are far below it,
there being but few coming in at pres-
ent.

Carnations are not very plentiful and
they sell fairly well at times, but once
in a while it is hard to move them at
any price. Many of them show veiy
poor keeping qualities, for which it is
hard to assign a reason except that they
appear to be grown too warm, the blooms
being very soft.

Violets are still in good demand and
the price has advanced to $1 and $1 50
per hundred. Valley, Romans and nar-
assi are to be had and the demand for
them is good. Smilax is plentiful and
has been moving slowly, while asparagus
18 going first rate. Fancy eastern ferns
have advanced to $1.75 per thousand.

Varkxti Notei.

Max Rudolph is cutting some fine
mums, roses and carnations. He reports
business scarcely up to last year but still
very satisfactory and that his best stock
is bringing very good prices.

terstaetter, haa, with his wife, just re-
turned from a visit at Yorkville, Ind.

Appleton, Timothy Eaton, Blackhawk,
Maj. Bonnaffon, Mrs. Proctor, Ghadwick,
Mrs. Perrin and that grand variety Gold-
en Wedding, were as fine as I ever saw.
There were thirty-seven varieties on exhi-
bition. At times the large store was
thronged with spectators. The store is
one of the largest in the country. Be-
sides the large store and large workroom
are two fine commodious windows. A
fine fireproof conservatory is being built
in the rear. The ice box is a dream,
large and roomy, tiled and finished with
mirrors inside.

PACIFIC COAST.

GLADIOLI.

DmLng the past week I have finished
cutting the last of my crop of gladiolus
flowers and from a patch of bulbs plant-
ed on a piece of ground 20x75 feet I
cut about 4,000 spikes of bloom. I re-
ceived an average of $1.50 per hundred
or about $60 for the entire lot. I pur-
chased 500 bulbs two years ago and
planted them in rows two ' feet apart,
keeping the colors separated. I dug out
after the first fiowering about 100 bulbs
that did not produce good selling colors
and left those that were distinct shades
of pink, red, cerise or cream. I found
that there was a good demand for all the
bright shades, especially those that bord-
ered on scarlet or deep pink, and con-
sidering that there was hardly any labor
attached to the growing of these
fiowcrs and there was no difliculty in
disposing of them, I consider them to
be among my best paying crops.

Although I have cultivated gladioli for
many years I have always looked on them
as a garden flower hardly worth cultivat-
ing for market and as a consequence have
given them little attention but when I
imported these newer hybrids I very
soon discovered that there was no trouble
to create an inmiediate demand for them
and I expect to cut twice as many this
coming season. In this locality they
commence to flower in June and last weljl
into November.

I find that they like an abundance of
water during the flowering season and if
the ground in which they are planted has
not ample drainage they had better be
taken up in the fall and replanted early
in the spring. If there is no danger of
a superabundance of moisture, however,
the bulbs can be left in the ground with-
out any damage to them. Although the
gladioli will grow in almost any garden

soil, they are heavy feeders during their
flowering season and quickly respond to
a good mulching of well rotted manure,
wMch should be applied once during the

year.

The trouble with this flower has been
that we had too large a percentage of
poorly grown and off-colored blooms.
With this new race of gladioli, if this
year's demand is any criterion, there
should be no trouble to make them one
of our best paying crops. Bunches of
one variety sell much better than mixed
lots and I have noticed that there are
about ten varieties in my collection of
twenty-five that seem to be especially at-
tractive to the public. The small white,
early-flowered gladiolus. The Bride, has
always been one of our best selling
blooms and becomes especially valuable
during Decoration week. Many thou-
sands of these can be grown on a small
space and they respond especially well
to applications of liquid manure applied
two or three times during their growing
season. G.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

Business is gradually getting better
and as it nears Thanksgiving prices are
stiffening somewhat. The weather is
very favorable for an abundance of flow-
ers and the chances are that there will be
an over-supply next week. The yellow
mums were cut closely for the California-
Stanford foot ball contest last Saturday
and many thousands were disposed of to
the sympathizers for the Berkeley team.
The weather still continues most favor-
able for mums and although the prices
have been better for the last week, there
is no shortage of flowers. Indoor flow-
ers are bringing from $1 to $2.50 per
dozen. Mrs. Jerome Jones is the l«st
white offered and Bonnaffon the best of
the yellows. Boses are in fair supply
and Beauties are somewhat more plenti-
ful. Boman hyacinths have made their
appearance. They sell at three dozen for
a dollar. Carnations are still selling at
the same prices they did for the past
month.

Various Notes.

The Cox Seed Co. has received a large
consignment of rhododendrons from Bel-
gium. They arrived in splendid shape.

Several enterprising hucksters did a
very thriving business with yellow mums
on the day of the big foot ball event at
Berkeley. They purchased heavily of
yellow mums at the rate of about 50
cents per dozen and had no difficulty in
selling them at 25 to 50 cents each. It
was estimated that not less than 50,000
flowers were displayed at the game.

John Pouyal is receiving some extra
fine Estelle carnations from J. P. Mic-
Donell, of Alden.

Domoto Bros, have just received a
large importation of tree peonies from
Japan. They will import very largely
for the coming season. G.

Charleston, W. Va. — The Charleston
Cut Flower & Plant Co. has been organ-
ized vnth S. A. Gregg secretary and
treasurer and H. F. Winter manager, the
former having been until recently with
J. W. Alexander. On November 19
they opened their store at 816 Quarrier

Among the Growers.

A recent visit to the various growers'
establishments shows that everything is
in pretty good shape for the coming win-
ter. At the Mud Lake establishment, of
which Ben Boldt is proprietor, the plant
stock for Christmas is exceptionally good.
Poinsettias from the California stock of
last year are equal to their progenitors,
which were at the highest state of per-
fection and proved quite profitable. In
a house of this plant I noticed a large
batch , of them grown in 6 and 7-
inch pots that were carrying three to six
leaders or heads, which had not lost any
of their vigor by having been pinched
back twice during the growing season.
Those plants were struck in mid-winter,
which enables the grower to produce,
under this system of cutting, a more
attractive plant than the single stem.
Mr. Boldt 's pans ot poinsettias are more
promising, if anything, and bid fair to
be more attractive than last year. He
has interspersed among the large plants
a late propagation of dwarf stock which
fills iip the naked space between the stems
and also covers the surface of the pans.
Lilium Harrisii and speciosum in va-
rieties are being forced for Christmas
trade. The Harrisii are strong and
healthy, no sign of disease and without
the loss of a singlor plant in a batch of
several hundred.

Prominent among the potted stuff at
the Park Floral Company's is a house
each of cylamen. Begonia Lorraine and
one of poinsettias. Cyclamen are a hobby
of the foreman, Mr. Sked, who for sev-
eral years has given a close study to "
cross breeding and culture, the results
of which have been many new colors of
peculiar formation and large size. Lor-
raines will be of a more profitable char-
acter than last year, as they will not be
so far advanced and will carry more
flowers at the holiday time. Poinsettias
will be up to their usual character — dark

in foliage and strong in bract formation,
A large part of this stock is grown in
pans and finds a more profitable market
than the single-stemmed ones. In fact,
the culture of the begonia and cyclamen,
as well as the poinsettia, when grown in
pans from their earlier stage of exist-
ence, gives more satisfaction to all con-
cerned than when transformed at a later
date from larcre pots to pans and then
offered for sale. This firm also grows a
quantity of Primula obconica and Sine-
nsis in pans for holiday trade.

The Colfax Avenue Floral Company is
also a large grower of the poinsettia
and have had a house full of very cred-
itable stock. This firm also grows mis-
cellaneous potted stuff extensively for
Christmas trade.

I notice most of the azalea growers
are importing a better (fharacter of
plants than heretofore, so prices will
probably go up on them at Christmas.

THE UTTLE WHITE FLY.

Please tell me how to rid my fuchsias
of tlie small, white fly. I have dipped the
plants in warm water, temperature of 110
to 120 degrees, but it md little good.
I use tobacco dust freely. Please tell
me what to do to clean them out.

W. H. F.

We have so far escaped this little pest,
but have seen it in all its glory at some
neighbor's not many miles away. It may
have its favorite food plants but they
TV-ill go for almost any plant when they
get numerous in a house, x'obacco seems
useless in any form. We believe there is
only one method to exterminate these
creatures, viz., hydrocyanic acid gas. Now
it happens that Mr. Croydon, under the
vegetable department in a recent Re-
view, has given the identical formula
that we have been using for the past two
or three years and which he truly says
will destroy all kinds of aphis and this
white fly, in fact anything that has
lungs. It is absolutely harmless to the
plants if carefully handled. It is simply
this: One pint sulphuric acid, one pint
water and two and a half ounces of cya-
nide. This quantity for 2,000 cubic feet
of air space. For other particulars read
Mr. Croydon on page 1258, November 10.

THE LITTLE WHITE FLY.

Wo iunc so far escaped this little pest,
liut have seen it in all its glory at some
neighbor's not many miles away. It may
have its favorite food plants but lliey
will go for almost any plant when llicv
^ei numerous in a house. iObaceo seems
useless in any form. We believe thrro is
only one method to exterminate these
creatures, viz.. hydrocyanic acid gas. Now
it hajipens that'jNIr. Croydon, under the

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

N>OTEMBES 2'i, 1904.

PITTSBURG.

The Market

On the whole business has been much
more satisfactory the past week. While
there have not been many large orders,
Btill the volume of smaller trade has more
than made up the difference. It is a
eanse for remark that there are no de-
butantes this year, while last season the
debutante affairs were the principal fea-
ture of the season.

Various Notes.

The trade extends sympathy to Mrs.
E. A. Williams in the loss of her father,
Capt. Samuel M. Duval, who was in his
seventy-third year. While he has been
connected with Common Pleas court for
twenty yeaiis, still his interest in his
daughter's business has associated him
with the trade, by whom he was well
liked for his kind, lovable and friendly
disposition. Capt. Duval was born in
this city and served all through the
civil war. Few men had more friends
than he.

Another cut flower store is announced
for the Bloomfield section. Joe Dick,
who has been working for L. I. Neff,
will now venture for himself. As he was
raised, in that immediate vicinity he has
the advantage of being acquainted and
we wish him success.

Jarves Smith and Miss Rowan were
married last Tuesday. They left for a
trip east and south. The best wishes of
all followed them. I almost believe mat-
rimony is a disease and when it breaks
out one does not know where it will stop.
Chas. Godwin left Monday to bring back
a bride after Thanksgiving. Who's
next? If • ^!H|

It looked last week as if all the whole-
salers from Philadelphia had fallen into
this city at once. There were three of
them here and they were shaking things
np for Thanksgiving orders.

Patrick Maier has been consigning the
Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. some very fine
Harrisii, Romans and Paper Whites.

P. J. Demas, of the Florists' Ex-
change, is in Chicago this week.

CLOSING A SYSTEM.

We have a hot water heating plant,
down hill system. The highest point is
right above the boiler. Just there we
have three 4-inch open pipes reaching
five feet above the flows. In firing slowly
the returns get warm. When it comes
to firing up in a hurry the water boils
out of these pipes before the returns
have time to get warm. We cannot keep
the houses warm enough in zero weather
on account of this boiling over. Every
time this happens we have to stop fir-
ing for half an hour and in the mean-
time the temperature goes down. Can
we do away with those air pipes and re-
place them by an, air cock without run-
ning any danger? What would happen if
we did? The pipes have a gopd fall all
the way down to the boiler. The expan-
sion tank, the bottom of which is on the
same level as the highest point of the
flows, communicates with the bottom of
the boiler. We know that the boilef

might be one size larger, but as our lease
expires in a couple of years, we don't
feel like going in heavy expenses.

F. B. C.

The open pipes can be closed with
safety and no opening left more than an
ordinary air vent, a pet cock, to draw off
any air which might accumulate at this
point and interfere with the circula-
tion, if an ample expansion tank is pro-
vided. This should be connected with
the main return near the boiler by a
pipe of ample size, 1-inch for a boiler
with a capacity suflftcient to heat two
houses 20x100 feet. The expansion tank
should hold at least fifty gallons, so
that there will always be enough water
in the tank to return to the system all
that can be forced into the tank by the
heaviest firing. The closed system will-
admit of raising the temperature of the
water to a higher point than is possible
with an open system. If the piping will
stand the increased pressure the tem-
perature can be still more increased by
elevating the expansion tank. In any
case I should place the expansion tank
froA six to ten feet above the highest
point in the system. L. C C.

r^ELY this cannot be true; well, we have over JOO growers who have written ui, a large majority
without request, their opinions ; we publish a few ot these letters ia the columns of this paper; see
on pages 40-41-51-56, 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 (iO 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.

DRAUGHT.

Iji these days of brisk competition,
when each year sees a number of new es-
tablishments erected in our larger cities,
with the cost of fuel increasing and bills
pouring in from every direction, the flor-
ist of today racks his brain to find means
to cut down expense and his thoughts
center on his heating plant. Can he save
anything there? Now, in my journeys
through different establishments, I no-
tice that all the boilers are placed in
the center of the range of houses, or if
not there, at least enclosed and virtually
a part of the establishment. Now the
question is this: "When the heating plant
is on the inside, in order to get
draught, does it use the warm air of the
greenhouse, thereby increasing the
• hances for disease, receiving the sup-
ply of fresh air through seams in walls
or cracks in the glass, necessitating in-
creased firing? Or having the boiler on
the outside, getting the draught from the
outer air, does it increase the amount of
coal used by receiving its draught from
the cold air? This seems perhaps to be
a very simple question, but as I said be-
fore, the question of fuel enters largely
into the calculation of the up-to-date
florist and I would like very much to
hear from some of my brother florists
on this question. F. A. B.

ThcWeckly Florists^ Review/

NOTOMBBB 24, 1904.

PIPING FOR STEAM.

I have two connected houses, one
19x75, the other 15x75, eleven feet to
ridge, side walls seven feet high with
forty-two inches glass in south wall and
gables glass. I want to pipe these houses
for steam to maintain 55 to 60 degrees.
Our temperature outdoors seldom goes
as low as 24 degrees below zero. I in-
tend to grow carnations and general
stock. M. C.

A good plan to carry out in piping
your houses would be as follows: Carry
a 2-inch riser under the ridge of each
house from the boiler to the most distant
end of the house, giving the pipe a slight
downward grade in that direction. From
each of these risers take off pipes to sup-
ply manifolds under the benches or upon
the side walls, so constructed as to make
use of twenty lines of 1^4 -inch pipe the
length of the houses. Valves should be
placed in a number of these 1 14-inch
pipes near the manifold entered by the
flow pipe. At the opposite end of the
same pipe and nearest the boiler a swing
check valve should be placed. This will
allow of placing as many pipes as are
valved out of commission during warm
or mild weather and will at the same time
provide a reserve for severe weather.
The size and number of pipes stated will
be ample for the coldest weather if a
steam pressure of five pounds is main-
tained. The location of the pipes is
to some extent a matter of convenience,
but with such crops as roses it is neces-
sary that some of the pipes be placed
under the benches. This is not so essen-
tial with carnations, yet most growers
use the system of placing the pipes un-
der the benches. It is more convenient in
most cases and is an advantage with most
forcing and bedding plants. L. C. C.

Paterson, N. J. — Robert Smith, who
was for years at Paterson and Market
streets, has removed his store to 181
Market street, where he is very nicely sit-
uated.

PLANTS FOR FORCING.

AZALEAS FOR EASTER.

On account of Easter this year coming so very late (April 23) a season
of the year when our regular spring shipmends demand our full attention,
we have decided not to carry a supply of Azaleas until then, but to close
out our entire stock as quickly as possible, therefore customers who us-
ually procure their supplies late in the spring will do well to cover their
needs at once. The principal sorts now in stock are Mme.Van der Cruyssen
and Bernhardt Andreas Alba, the two best late flowering sorts of their
color. These two varieties can be furnished in any proportion desired but
the selection of other varieties must be left to us.

We will still supply early orders at import prices.

12 to 14-in. crowns $ 6.00 per doz.; $ 45.00 per 100

I ^AZALEA MOLLIS.

■ For early and late forcing Azalea Mollis is rapidly gaining favor; easily
forced at a minimum cost for heat and labor, they are proBtable stock for
the retailer to handle. We are supplying at present an unusually fine
grade of plants 16 to 18 inches high, and covered with flower buds, $4 60
per doz.; $35.00 per 100.

FORCING LILACS.

A fine lot of pot grown plants, well set with buds and in prime condition
for forcing, $6.00 per doz.; $45 OJ per 100.

RHODODENDRONS FOR FORCING.

These are being used more extensively every season, and this year,
with Easter at such a very late date, should prove especially acceptable
as they can be retarded much easier than Azaleas, and at the same time
may be flowered at just the right moment at a minimum cost. We are
carrymg an extra large stock of bushy well shaped plants. 16 to 18 inches
high, covered with buds, $9.00 per doz.; $70.00 per 100. Larger plante, 20 to
24 inches high, fine specimens, $11.00 per doz.; $90.00 per 100

|OW, when the merits of the different varieties are still fresh in your mind, is the time to think of
your planting^ for another year. A few stock plants bought now will give you all the cuttings
you will need later on, perhaps at a time when the particular variety you want may be hard to
get. The plants we offer are from solid benches, consequently heavy and will give a great amount of
cuttings. If upon arrival they are not satisfactory they may be returned at our expense.

any other forcing variety in commerce.

Snd. It comes to perfection without special care or culture
and can be grown in the same soil and temperature and
with the same treatment given to Bride and Maid.

3rd. It ships perfectly, as it can be cut very tight and devel-
ops as well off as on the bush.

4th. Has very near the same tone of color as Liberty, with
more scarlet and does not blue with age.

6th. This variety is nearly a pure tea, being seeded from
LADY BATTERSE A, fertilized by LIBERTY, and as
a result has shown no tendency toward going dormant in
mid-winter, at which time the variety is at its very best.

6th. Produces freely throughout the year, long pointed buds
on tall straight stems with elegant dark foliage.

7th. Is as easy to root, and grafts as readily as Bride or Maid.

8th. Has as delicious a fragrance as American Beauty.

NOTES ON NOVELTIES.

The best novelty of the year, in my
humble opinion, is Mrs. "W. Duckham, the
winner of the C. S. A. silver cup. As it
was shown at Boston, no one had any-
thing but praise for it, and as a tribute
to its keeping qualities 1 may say that
several flowers of this variety that were
sent from England in the Wells exhibit
traveled in perfect condition and were
as fresh on the last day of the show as
they were on the first, and this after be-
ing cut October 22, traveling 3,000 miles
and being kept until November 3 before
being exhibited. It is a great record and
I predict as large a measure of popular-
ity for this variety as W. Duckham, last
year's cup winner, is now enjoying. The
color of Mrs. W. Duckham is a lovely
yellow, a little deeper than Cheltoni,
which variety it resembles somewhat in
appearance. When the buds are first
opening a band of red shows along the
edge of the petals, but by the time the
flower is developed this color has faded,
leaving a brilliant yellow that catches
every eye.

Another yellow that has shown up very
well is Merstham Yellow. This variety is
valuable for its earliness, being this year
fully finished by October 1, and showing
a mid-season size and finish. It is a
money maker for the commercial grow-
er if he will only plant it early enough to
give it a chance. This variety also came
over from England in splendid condition,
and was highly praised at Boston.

Emily Mileham is the best white of the
new ones. It is very graceful in contour,
full to the center and has a grand stem
and foliage. It has kept very dwarf, not
running over three feet in height, and is
an ideal variety for a 6-inch pot. There
are larger whites but none in my opinion
so finely finished and I commend this
variety to every lover of an artistic
flower. Mrs. A. J. Miller is the largest
of the new things, but its color is not
specially attractive, only as a variety
ic a class for twenty-five varieties.
There its immense size makes it valu-
able and as an exhibition flower it will
be largely grown. Brick red is the
nearest approach to describing its color.
Late buds show much more brilliant
coloring but the flower is much smaller.

J. H. Doyle shows a flower much like
the preceding variety, but brighter in
color. For the exhibitor this is grand,
but the commercial grower will not take
kindly to it, for owing to its massive
growth, it takes up lots of room in the
bench. Brian Boru.

it forms a solid mass. This will reduee
the deptli to about four inches. Then with
a common butcher-knife make a cut acrosB
the bench. This cut should reach m depth
to about the middle of the material, say
two inches from the surface. By keepia
the cut of a uniform depth all the heels
of the cuttings will be exposed to the
same temperature and moisture and tend
to root formation in about the same period
of time.

The cuttings siiould be inserted with as
little delay as possible after being made
so that the wound may not become too
dry, as if they are allowed to become dry
it greatly retards the process of root for-
mation.

The cuttings should be placed in the
sand about one inch apart for Bridee,
Meteors and other varieties of about the
same habit of growth. Beauties require
from two to two and one-half inches. The
material should then be pressed firmly
along the line and a parallel cut made for
the rext line of cuttings.

After a yard or two of the Jbench has
been filled in this manner they should be

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

December 1, 1904.

I am aware that many growers subject
their cuttings to a much higher tempera-
ture than this with apparently good re-
sults and get their batches out of the
sand in a shorter time, which counts for a
good deal where large quantities ot young
stock are required and propagating room
scarce, but I am convihced that the slower
method has the merit of producing stock
with a better constitution and which when
benched usually outstrip those of a softer
growth.

It is essential to success to use a keen-
edged knife to make a clean, short cut,
as the smaller and deajier the wound so
much quicker will the callus form and
the arrangement of the young roots will
be more perfect.

The propagating medium shoula never
be allowed to become dry but should at
all times contain sufficient moisture to
prevent wilting of the leaves and shrink-
ing of the bark.

riety that grows upright, blooms early,
with a good, strong stem, a 3-inch
bloom, with a good calyx, pleasing color
and good substance and fifteen to twenty
blooms to, the plant in a season, then you
can call yourself fortunate. Few va-
rietieai have all these qualities combined.
After receiving a certificate of merit
from the American Carnation Society
and showing it liberally you will have
no trouble in selling all you can sup-
ply. The growers of the land ara look-
ing for that kind of variety.

A. F. J. Baur.

SELECTING SEEDLINGS.

The selection of the seedlings you ex-
pect to keep for further trial is as impor-
tant as any part of the whole operation.
You want to be sure to keep all those that
are likely to be good and at the same
time you do not want to get your place
filled up with a lot of rubbish that will
never bring you a dollar in return.
Every seedling raiser knows only too
well that many times he has had to shut
his eyes and pull up a variety in which
he had stored great hope but which, with
all his care and good treatment, refuses
to be anything but a second or third
rate sort, not good enough to disseminate
and yet almost too good to discard. A'
mistake made frequently by beginners
is to put too much faith in the first
blooms that appear on the plants; these
blooms are very apt to mislead one. When
the plants are in the field we merely use
these first blooms as af means for select-
ing the plants we bring in, but we would
not think of .propagating a vfiriety until
we have seen a bloom inside about mid-
winter. Then is when you can judge
as to the merits of a seedling.

Don't take in a plant that made a
poor growth or has a poor habit; it
will not improve in the future. Bon't
take in a plant that bursts the calyx;
a variety that bursts in the fall will
surely burst in the winter. Don't take
in a plant that throws a weak stem in
the field; it will be weaker inside. Don't
be influenced too much by the color of
the bloom in the field; the colors will
seldom come just the same inside; some-
times they improve and sometimes just
the reverse. Don't think that just be-
cause you have a fine, large, full bloom
outside it is any cause for great ela-
tion; nine times out of ten inside it
will burst or the stem will not hold it
up or it will bv-^ a shy bloomer.

The seedling raiser must be a man
who is not easily unbalanced. He must
be always ready to meet success with
modesty or disappointment with forti-
tude. The plants which promise the most
in the field are liable to prove the poor-
est inside, and we know of cases where a
plant looked only very ordinary outside
and it proved one of the best inside. In
fact, we have seen these same reverses
even after one or two years' trial. We
bring in every plant that has made a
fair -growth and has made blooms of
average size or over, a good stem, a
good calyx and good form, regardless of
color or fullness unless it be single or
inclined to burst. They will show their

faults inside when they bloom again, but
often they will improve in color and
form. Those that are bloomed in pots
can be judged a little better, but even
these we like to see bloom the second
time before propagating from them, es-
pecially if the first bloom came early in
the fall. They will vary a great deal,
mostly in stem and calyx, however.

As soon as a plant blooms and we
decide to keep it we plant it in the bed
where it can make a strong growth and
a good lot of cuttings in case it proves
worthy of a second years' trial. The
second year you can tell more about the
habit and productiveness of the variety.
It is needless to say that the color should
be pleasing at least and you will find
that the solid colors are most in de-
mand. If you succeed in getting a va-

SOIL FOR CARNATIONS.

I am sending a sample of the soil I
am using for my carnations. There must
be something the matter with it, as the
plants naake only a spindling growth. I
can get no sods here, only from crab
grass. I also send a sample of the sab-
soil, a pebbly red clay. Would it be bet-
ter, or could the two be mixed with a
fertilizer? J. T.

It would be very surprising if you suc-
ceeded in getting anything but a spindly
weak growth on your carnations in the
compost you have them growing in. It
seems to consist mostly of sand and leaf-
mold and there is no body to it. The
other sample is not a bit better than
Avhat you are using. Try to find soil
which is more of a loamy nature. A
heavy clay soil would be far better than
what you are using. Carnations like a
sandy loam, a soil that has a good body
and yet enough sand so that it will
crumble readily when it dries out. It

does not necessarily have to be sod, but
it should be soil that has not been worked
too hard. If you can get soil from a
field which has been producing good crops
you will not go far wrong, however. By
mixing in a liberal amount of cow ma-
nure you can bring up its fertility. If
you are obliged to continue using the
same soil you now have I would advise
you to mix in cow manure liberally when
composting it, but you can never make
an ideal carnation soil out of it.

OBITUARY.

R. '^ill, Minneapolis.

Keinhold Will, of Minneapolis, died
November 23 at the age of 62 years.
Mr. Will was born in Germany and came
to this country in 1873, locating in
Henderson, Minn. Ten years later he
removed to Minneapolis and established
himself as a wholesale florist, later
founding the firm of E. Will & Sons,
among the largest growers of carnations
and violets in the northwest. Of late
he had suffered from rheumatism and
had planned to spend the winter in the
south, but a serious stomach trouble de-
veloped, compelling him to remain at
home. He was taken to Eochester for
an operation, but the case was seen to
be hopeless, and he was taken home, man-
aging to live long enough so that the
«ntire family could gather around him
in his last moment. The deceased leaves
a wife and nine children.

L. Unverzagt, Springfield, 111.

Louis Unverzagt, of Springfield, 111.,
died very suddenly, of pneumouia, No-
vember 23, aged 58 years. Mr. Unver-
zagt was one of the best known florists
in Springfield. He was a self-made man.
Born in Carlstadt, Germany, he came to
this country April 2, 1870, locating in
Springfield. Mr. Unverzagt was em-
ployed by Governor Matteson two years,
when the latter died. He then bought
the plants and flowers owned by the gov-
ernor and engaged in business for him-
self ,on the Matteson place. Mr. Unver-
zagt was successful and year by year ex-
tended his business. He was a man of
sterling qualities and by his honest deal-
ings made many friends. He leaves a
widow.

TROUBLE WITH BULB STOCK.

I planted some of my Easter lilies the
first of September and kept the rest of
the bulbs in a buggy shed, having no
other place to put them, and planted
them September 22, when I noticed that
the bulbs were getting damaged. I had
all of them under the middle bench of
a carnation house to start them, then
put them on the bench after they were
three inches high. I planted the jon-
quils in October and had them in the
basement, which probably is not cool
enough. In December they were grow-
ing through the sand, which was about
four inches deep over the boxes. Then
I took them in the greenhouse but thev
have not given a single bloom and no
sign of any. What can be the reason?

I had Paper White, Von Sion and
hyacinths in that same basement and
they gave good flowers, only they started
growing sooner than wanted. Now if I
should put six inches of sand over them
instead of three or four inches would it
be better to retard them? The rest I
planted outside in flats and laid the

boxes on boards, covered them with
leaves, then three inches of soil and
about six inches of manure, which I was
very careful would not ferment. Then
later, as the season advanced, I increased
the amount of manure, little by little to
about two feet and a half. Those that
I took out for Easter were very poor.
The Murillo tulips were not more than
half size. The Von Sion and hyacinths
were short-stemmed and of poor quality.
Some of the bulbs in some of the boxes
would not grow at all while the other
part of the box would be doing well. I
would also ask you to let me know if
Von Sion does well outdoors, in boxes to
be taken in later in the greenhouse.

L. A. G.

First, it seems L. A. G. is talking
about his Easter lilies of this season,
while his complaint of the other bulbs is
evidently his experience of last fall and
winter. If the lilies are strong and
well rooted they are all right and
should be forced for mid-winter. As
Easter is very late, they would have
to be kept very cool to retard them for
that date. Start your lilies in a cold
frame and not under a bench.

Most likely your basement was too
warm for the jonquils, but more likely
you kept the soil in the flats too dry.
Put all your bulbs outdoors and cover
with three inches of light soil or tan-
bark. Those you are going to bring into
force by the middle of November will
need no other covering arid those to be
left out later will need no more than
six inches of leaves or manure at any
time. Two feet or more of stable man-

ure covering these bulbs is ridiculous.
They are all hardy except the Paper
White and polyanthus narcissi, wMch
should not be frozen.

If your basement is warm, or even
40 degrees, no amount of sand will re-
tard them. They will keep growing, be
long, attenuated stems and of little
value. The Von Sion narcissus is a
splendid bulb for beds or borders, but
not 'often planted commercially, because
there is such an abundance of the daffo-
dils in every old woman's garden.

If you can't possibly put up a cold
frame for your Paper White narcissi
and French Boman hyacinths you might
use your basement, yet it's a poor place
for them. . I am inclined to think that
you have kept all your bulbs too dry and
that they made little roots and those
that had the covering of two and a half
feet of manure were smothered.

Murillo 18 one of the easiest and surest
tulips to have in flower after March 1
and in all the years we have been forcing
bulbs we never remember having a fail-
ure with this queen of tulips. Album
Neapolitanum cover only lightly and
protect from severe freezing. When
well rooted removfe to greenhouse.

HELPING NATURE.

I desire to call attention through the
Keview to the excellent misrionary work
being done in the cause of floral deco-
ration and artistic neatness by the Mich-
igan Central railroad, through the eni-
bellishment of the grounds around its
stations and by the introduction of flow-
ers as an important 'factor in providing
for the comfort and enjoyment of its
many patrons. The liberal spirit mani-
fested in this beautifying of the road
and the thorough manner in which it has
been carried into effect merit more than
a passing word of recognition from every
lover of flowers. Tlie effect of the good
example shown ought of itself to give a
strong impetus to floral matters in the
region through which the Michigan Cen-
tral road runs.

_ I speak more especially -of the por-
tion of the line between Chicago and De-
troit as observed on a recent trip. For
some years past the company has been
diligenty improving the scenic beauty of
this part of its line, for which nature
had already done much. Every station,
however small, lias its bouquet of color
in the summer and the larger places have
decorations which, with the tasteful mod-
em architecture of the buildings, makes
the road like a park from one end to the
other. Much of the planting which has
been done consists of shrubs and shade
trees for permanent effect and is, on
this account, particularly valuable as an
object lesson for the surrounding coun-
try. The plants needed for the station

of the main building. In the construc-
tion 10,000' feet of glass were employed.
The latest and best appliances are pro-
vided and an extensive variety of plants
are represented. Over half a million of
free bouquets are distributed yearly to
lady patrons of the Michigan Central.

Here at least is a great corporation
which not only has a soul but a strong
senpe of beauty as well and I am glad to
see that its good example is being fol-
lowed by other railroads.

There is one thing more which we
would be happy to see this road and oth-
ers take up tor the complete beautifying
of their rights of way, and that is the
establishment of desirable native shrubs,
tree-^ and hardy perennials along their
tracks between stations. Many of these
plants are in great danger of speedy ex-
termination from various causes and un-
less protected will soon be lost to our
flora. Nowhere in the country can they
be so efficiently protected as along the
railroad tracks. John Higgins.

CRINUMS IN FLORIDA.

Crinums belong to the amaryllidacese
and are found chiefly in tropical re-
gions. They are very handsome bulbous
plants, with large flowers, mostly white
or pink and white. Of the 100 or so
varieties I doubt if more than thirty are
grown in the United States and but one
is native, C. Americanum, which is
found in the Florida swamps, often grow-
'T'g right in the water. Its flowers are

grounds and the cut flowers for distribu-
tion to passengers are provided from the
greenhouses of the road at Niles and
Tpsilanti, under the direction of John
Gipner. The larger houses at Niles con-
sist of a conservatory, steel frani d,
with two wings, one seventy and the oth-
er thirty feet long, roof twenty feet from
the floor. At the south end, facing the
track, is a palm-house thirty feet high.
The heating is by boilers in the basement

pure white, with narrow petals and very
sweet scented. Of the various crinums
grown in Florida C. Kirkii (Zeylanicum)
is by far the commonest; you find it in
every garden, usually called the milk and
wire lily. It grows anywhere, in any
kind of soil and even flourishes in aban-
doned gardens. It has twelve' to twenty
or more large white flowers to an um-
bel, with broad petals and a purple stripe
on the outside of each petal, the scape

being two feet high. The bulbs in time
grow to a large size, sometimes to five
inches diamter. They are cheap enough,
as 3-inch bulbs can be bought for $3
per hundred.

The two giants of the family are C.
auguistum and pedunculatum. These
often stsnd six feet high, the bulbs be-
ing huge and stump-like. C. augustum
has pink flowers, twenty to thirty
to an umbel. The petals are six to eight
inches long and rather narrow. A fully
expanded umbel is often over two feet
across. C. pedunculatum is very similar,
only the flowers are pure white and the
leaves grow more upright.

Crinums are a mixed-up family find
you can buy the same variety under half
a dozen, different names. Other varieties
grown in Florida are erubescens, scab-
rum fimbriatulum, campanulatum, cras-
sifolium, giganteum, Virginicum, Moorei,
Capense rosea and Capense alba, etc.
Erubescens has solid pink flowers. Gi-
ganteum is giant only in name, as it is
not a large growing kind. Its flowers
are pure white, with a greenish
throat and extra wide petals. Ca-
pense alba and rosea are often sold
as Amaryllis longiflora; they stand
the most ecld. Of Moorei there are sev-
eral varieties. One is a pure white, an-
other a pink shading to white, and an-
other white with a pink stripe. Vir-
ginicum is an English hybrid; it has
white flowers, six to seven inches across;
broad petals, with a faint pink stripe,
and a scape sometimes four feet high.
The flowers open in the evening and are
especially sweet scented.

Crinums are increased by offsets and
seeds. Some, like Americanum and
Kirkii, produce seeds very freely; others

like augustum, produce no seeds at all^ J

and many of the hybrids, like fimbriatu-
lum and Virginicum, are sterile or near-
ly so. The sterile varieties usually in-
crease quicker by offsets than the fertile
ones, though augustum is very slow,
much slower than pedunculatum, which
sets plenty of seeds. From seed a
crinum will bloom in about three years.
The seeds are large and fleshy. Hybrid-
izing is very easily done, and many
pleasing variations may be obtained.

Crinums are not particular as to soil.
Here they often grow in the poorest
sand, but rich soil, with plenty of cow
manure and as much sun as possible,
suits them best. "When in full growth
they require plenty of water, and ma-
nure water may be used with the best
results, as they are very heavy feeders.
When grown in the north in tubs or
pots at least half of the bulb should be
above the ground; here in Florida we
plant them deep, but that is another
story. In winter the bulbs may be dried
off and kept in any place free from frost.
Louis Bosanquet.

known English grower of hardy plants,

mind and is reflected in one of Mr. Eis-
ele's first attempts at photography.

Frequent inquiry as to the correct pro-
nunciation of plant names has lea us
to compile the following list of names,
selecting those in most common use in
the trade, and including botanical terms
most frequently met with in articles upon
plant culture.

As many names of plants are derived
from Greeic roots, we feel sure the follow-
ing brief list of Greek root words, cover-
ing only those most readily recognized
in names in.con;imon use, will be helpful.

Ampelos — A vine.
Anthemon — A flower.
Anthera — An anther.
Axgyioa — Silver.
Bios — Life.

With this help to an understanding of
the construction of plant names derived
from Greek roots, we will proceed to pro-
nunciation. This is a matter upon which
the best authorities are apt to disagree,
in spite of the great amount of study
that has been devoted to the subject.
Though the greater part of our list of
plant names has been derived from Greek
and Latin, many other languages have
been drawn upon, including those spoken
by barbarous peoples, and no present
day scholar can be positive as to the
correct pronunciation of many names.

But all we of the trade desire is to
know the pronunciation adopted by the
best authorities, that we may have uni-
formity among ourselves. Our principal
authorities in the compilation or this fist
have been The Century Dictionary and
the Pronouncing Dictionary in Nicholson's
Dictionary of Gardening. Otfier dic-
tionaries have been consulted, but the
two mentioned have, in practically
every case, determined the pronunciation
adopted in this list.^ Ca 0

Where these two happened to radically
disagree, preference has generally been
given to the pronunciation adopted by
Tfie Century.

It may be well to add that of the two
systems presented by Nicholson's Diction-
ary, we have drawn from the " Old
Style." The " New Style" may be of
interest to students, but it will never be
current in tra^ circles.

In our list we have used the following

THE THOMPSON PLACE.

There are few establishments of equal
size in this country where so few varie-
ties of carnations are grown as at the
J. D. Thompson Company's plant at
Joliet. The policy here is to select the
very best sort for each purpose and then
grow it in quantity. The Belle was by all
odds the best looking white on the
place at the time of a recent visit,
surpassing Gov, Wolcott and leaving
Lady Bountiful behind, that variety be-
ing, while of good growth and a large
producer, of too poor petalage early in
the season to meet the competition of its
companion sort, it and The Belle having
both been sent out by Dorner last sea-
son. There is a house of Boston Market
containing about 8,000 plants which is
a beautiful sight. It certainly looks like
a great money maker.

In pink but three varieties are grown,
Nelson Fisher, Mrs. E. A. Nelson and
Lawson, the latter to be dropped next
year. In fact, it would have been dis-
carded this season had it not been that
stock was short to plant all the houses.
The half-house of Lawson is in good
shape but it does not stand by com-
parison with Nelson Fisher as grown in
an adjoining house. There is but one
light pink which, of course, is Enchant-
ress. This is a variety with which every
one is successful.

Estelle is the leading scarlet, eclipsing
Flamingo and leaving Adonis far be-
hind. There are benches of Flamingo
planted in June and others in August,
the first being plants from pots and the
second plants from the field. The plants
from the field are superior to a marked
degree. But the interest in scarlets cen-
ters around the variety a half interest in
which was purchased last season from C.

W. Ward. It has been named Eobert
Craig. Two benches are planted with
this variety, which is not to be sent out
to the trade until 1906. Some of the
plants are from cuttings taken from sand
in January and others from each batch
of cuttings all the way along to the end
of the propagating season. One can tell
the relative date of propagation by the
growth the plants have made. All are
clean and healthy and "very robust, the
early stock having attained a size and
length of stem beyond that of any other
scarlet on the place. The flower is of the
first size, of fine shape and good frag-
rance. One of the notable character-
istics of the variety is the number of
flowering shoots. The plants of the
early propagation had more than fifteen
shoots October 10 and some as many as
twenty-five, while the crop of bloop was
heavy at the middle of October and
promises to continue so all through the
season. The only crimson variety on
the place is Ward's The President,
which is very fine. Mrs. M. A. Patten
is the only variegated.

Most heavily planted of the new sorts
is Gibson Beauty, the light pink which is
to be sent out this season. It has a large
flower of very good form, the center light
pink but much darker than Enchantress
and shaded to light in the outer petals.
The stem is long and strong. This variety
originated with Swan Peterson, in his
modern establishment at Gibson City,
111., and will be disseminated in Jan-
uary jointly by the two firms.

In a house of seedlings under trial
there are several good sorts, notably a
white of very good size, high center and
the petals heavily fringed. This is one
of the Peter Fisher seedlings which we
look forward to with interest. There is
also a light pink and a white sport of
Enchantress which promise well.

J. E, Jensen is the grower in charge
of this establishment. That he under-
stands his business is apparent from the
condition of the stock. There is no va-
riety on the place of which it may not
be said that it looks well. Propagation
has already begun for next year and the
young stock in the gand is rooting well.
This year a coarser sand is being used
than heretofore and the beneficial effect
is very apparent by comparison with a
batch of cuttings put in the fine sand
formerly used.

FARQUHAR IN EUROPE.

John K. M. L. Farquhar was the
speaker of the evening before the Gar-
deners' and Florists' Club of Boston,
October 18. He told of his trip to
Europe and referred, in his opening re-
marks, to the fine reception given to
their new lily in England and on the
continent, he having taken blooms with
him which carried well. From what
Harry Veitch and one or two other ex-
perts told him, the original lalium
Philippinense, discovered in 1873, had
some pink coloring in the flowers and
grew six feet tall, while theirs is pure
white and much smaller. The speaker
gave a very interesting account of some
of the leading Dutch bulb farms and
their enormous spread. The frugal
Dutch, he considered, are coining money
out of the business. They are persist-
ently raising prices without just cause.
One grower told him that he had cleaned
$2,000 per acre from Von Sion narcissus.
The increased demand from America
was in some measure responsible for
this. Americans are now buying better
quality bulbs, but the growers said they
have no American call for the newer and
choicer varieties, as they want cheaper
goods.

The number of desirable novelties was
not great. A new cornflower-colored
Spanish iris and Tritomas excelsa,
Ideal and Lemon Queen were very de-
sirable. The nurseries of Messrs. Tu-
bergen & De Graaf were visited and
commented on. At Boskoop he noticed
that the nurseries were depleted of good
stock, that seen . being mostly small.
Some of the largest and best nurseries
have no catalogues, while some of the
agents canvassing America with hand-
some catalogues represent firms without
any nursery.

At Ghent, in Belgium, the nurseries
where azaleas, dracsenas, palms and
other stock is grown were referred to.
The Brussels Botanic Gardens were very
interesting, their method of labeling
plants being unique and excellent.

France seemed to be, if anything, the
most prosperous country visited. Le-
moine 's nurseries contained some fine
new begonias and deutzias, but no
begonia was equal to Gloire de Lor-
raine. Some fine bedding was seen in
the park at Nancy. A great change in
style was noted, the nataral taking the
place of the mosaic. One especially at-
tractive bed was of standard roses with
gladioli planted below them, edged with
geraniums. A tendency to resort to rib-
bon bordering was noticed, but usually
masses relieved by a few taller plants
were used.

Some fine bedding was noted in Hyde
parlt, London. A bed of Musa ensete
with Grevillea robusta below and edged
with Funkia subcordata variegata was
effective. Clumps of sweet peas rising
out of violas were used in front of
shrubberies to good purpose. A bed of
Fuchsia Mrs. Marshall and "White Paris
daisy and another of golden privet and
bronze geraniums, the latter edged with
Saxifraga moschata, were good.

At Hampton Court palace the fine
avenues of yews were mentioned. The
famous grape vine was carrying larger
bunches and finer berries than when last
seen. Few succulents are now used in
the bedding there. One bed contain-
ing tuberous begonias, dotted with
white swalnsona and edged with sweet
alyssum looked well. A mixture of
Lobelia cardinalis and Abutilon Boule

de Neige was pleasing. Chrysanthemum
latifolium with blooms six inches across
and growing three to five feet high was
grand. Calceolaria Burbidgei growing
six to seven feet high, with yellow flow-
ers double the size of the ordinary
rugosa type, was very effective. The
flowers are colored like a Montressor tulip
and the plant can be had in bloom for
Christmas in pots. Grafted plants of
Liberty rose were very fine outdoors.

There is a tendency in Great Britain
to grow fewer collections of stove and
greenhouse plants and larger quantities
of certain attractive kinds. Orchids are
ftill in big demand. The new hall of
the Royal Horticultural Society was
visited on the occasion of a big fruit
show. The hall was pronounced an ideal
one in all respects. The quality of fruit
shown, due in large measure to a fine
summer, was very high, the apples be-
ing equal to the very finest the speaker
had ever seen in America.

HORTICULTURAL SOCIETIES.

[A paper by Robert Klft, of Philadelphia,
road before the Germantown Horticultural So-
ciety, November 14, 1904.]

The love of flowers, particularly when
they are the result of one's own care and
culture, is soon broadened into a desire
that others shall also share in your good
fortune. Friends are called in to admire
and perhaps carry away a few choice
blossoms which shed their beauty and
fragrance elsewhere, finding new friends
wlierever shown. Often these flower lov-
ers get together to compare each other's
]iroducts and finally at the proper sea-
sons they bring their best and place them
in competition, so that all may be seen
and merit be suitably rewarded. These
pioneer gatherings formed the nucleus of
the horticultural societies of today. In
later years these amateur bodies have been
materially helped by trade organizations,
tlie members of which being engaged in
the cultivation of flowers for a livelihood
had gotten together for their mutual
benefit, and who found in the horticul-
tural society an important ally through
which to reach the public. Ofttimes
where there was no organized horticul-
tural body these trade organizations took
it upon themselves to hold exhibitions

and which in every case were productive
of good results in the bringing of large
numbers of the people together to see
the newest and best things in flowers and
plants, and thereby instilling a love and
cultivating the taste for their products.
It would be difficult to estimate the good
that has resulted to horticulture from
these organizations throughout the world,
but judging from the delighted com-
ments of the thousands of visitors to the
various exhibitions in all the large cities
of the United States the past decade, to-
gether with the newspaper publicity so
generously bestowed, it must have been
greatly beneficial.

While we may look with pride on what
has been accomplished, yet there remains
much that is possible and which could be
done with but little more effort and that
would still farther the usefulness of our
societies.

Last summer, during a visit to Col(M|p
rado Springs, I visited the exhibition or
the El Paso County Horticultural So-
ciety, of that city. The exhibition was
held in the city square park, under three
large tei^ts, and was a very creditable
display. But the feature with which 1
was particularly pleased was the award-
ing of prizes for the best kept grounds
and lawns, as well as individual flower
beds, vine-clad porticos, etc. Those en-
tering for prizes notified the secretary
by the first of June each year. A com-
mittee inspected the various entries dur-
ing the season and had most of them
photographed at the'it best. These pho-

ber of the society. He is also spending
a half million dollars on a park to be
given to the city. Never have I seen the
grass so green or the lawns more beauti-
ful than here. All the watering is by
irrigation, the water flowing along the
gutters and being let into the house-yards
through sluice boxes under the pavement.

If education of the public in things
horticultural is our object it would seem
tliat here is as advantageous a competi-
tion'as that of plants, and flowers gath-
ered together in a building. There are
classes here the same as in the staged
exhibits, each particular entry being
judged on its merits as compared with
another in its class. Fine examples of
I'nis landscape or gardening work being
on exhibition at all times, to all observ-
ers, cannot fail to be admired and have
great weight in the education of the
masses for more beautiful surroundings.

In the large cities where houses are
built close together, there can be the
competition between balcony and window
decoration. How much more beautiful
our city streets would look if these places
of vantage were graced with boxes of
blooming plants, thus adding form and
color Jto the otherwise plain surfaces.

Last summer an effort was made by
the City Parks Association of this city,
to encourage this form of decoration.
They selected Walnut street from Broad
to Twentieth, and were instrumental in
having about fifty windows so decorated
in addition to the few then in use. They

tos were placed on view at the exhibition
and made very interesting studies. A
great deal of interest was taken in the
contest by the residents and in conse-
quence the standard of excellence was set
much higher.

Before another year the society is
promised a $20,000 building of its own^
a gift of General Palmer, a wealthy mem-

agreed to have them taken care of while
the residents were away for the summer,
at a nominal sum. The effect was beauti-
ful until August set in, when the plants
began to look badly and many of them
had to be replaced. A little experience
will, however, enable this form of deco-
ration to be kept up all summer at com-
paratively small expense, and it is hoped

to see the cui^m become general all
over the city.

During a visit to Brussels, in Belgium,
some years ago, I noticed boxes for
window and balcony decoration were
much in evidence. On inquiry it was
found that a City Improvement Associa*
tion had charge, or rather was encourag-
ing the work by offering prizes for the
best examples, in classes, so that all
should have a chance. While it is true
that horticulture means culture of the
garden and the plants that grow therein,
it seems as if educational work of this
character could be legitimately taken up
by horticultural societies and, with their
prestige, better and more permanent re-
sults obtained.

A gentleman who occasionally visits
Horticultural Hall in Fairmount park,
said to me recently: "As soon as I set
my foot in the door of that conservatory,
I feel that for the time being all I see
is mine and many a quiet hour have I
spent enjoying the feast prepared for
me."

It has been my thought for a long
time that no municipal park can be com-
plete without a large show conservatory,
together with a lot of working or forc-
ing houses, to keep the exhibition hall,
if it might be so called, filled at all
times with the very best of seasonable
blooming plants.

Think of such a house filled with' mag-
nificent azaleas! What a chrysanthemum
show could be given there. And the
minor displays of calceolarias, cyclamen,
cinerarias, begonias, primroses, poinset-
tias, orchids, etc., etc., that from time to
time would make worthy successors.

Horticultural Hall, in Fairmount park,
a legacy from the centennial, is doing a
grand work, but on account of its con-
struction and the small appropriation an-
nually doled out for its maintenance, but
little of the work I have in mind is car-
ried out. Fifty thousand dollars per
year, or perhaps considerably less, would
suffice to keep such a plant, after once
established, up to a high state of ef-
ficiency.

What a great gain to this community
such an establishment would be; as a
factor in educating the people and help-
ing to instill in them a love for flowers
it would be invaluable. Could we as
horticulturists bring this about we
would greatly increase our usefulness,
for here would be on view at all times,
the best of everything in flowers, a per-
petual flower show.

I believe it possible to enlist private
aid for the establishment and perhaps
maintenance of such a plant. Millions of
money is ofttimes bequeathed to less
worthy objects. The above are a few of
the subjects that come within the scope
of horticultural bodies, and their achieve-
ment would but keep us in line with the
rapid progress of the day.

DENVER.

The Chrysanthemum.

The chrysanthemum is certainly the
reigning beauty at this period of the
year. Every grower has them in abund-
ance and of every possible form and
character. Perhaps their short season
is what makes them so popular. The pub-
lic anticipates their arrival and the
grower and dealer exult in their depar-
ture. It has b^n frequently prophesied
that they are losing their prestige, but
every year they put in a more forcible

appearance and maintaiti their right to
recognition. But with all this in their
.favor there is probably no other flower
that is grown in as great a bulk that
carries such an uncertain value in the
market and is liable to give such unsat-
isfactory results. True, the perfect
flower, or one approaching that stage, is
sure to bring profitable returns, but the
inferior article, which is frequently in
the majority, is a drug on the market.
Some of the retailers out here argue
that handling half a dozen ' varieties of
diversified color will prove far more satis-
factory than handling the innumerable
sorts now put on the market. But every
grower has his hobby to gratify and, in
opposition to public demand, persists in
carrying it out. The man who is up
against it every hour in the day in the
store most certainly acquire a clearer
perception of public taste thanN he who
is many miles away. Many of the old
varieties are still grown out here and
when well done are equal to newer sorts.
The finest collection, both in extent and
character to be seen out here this fall,
was grown at the City park greenhouses.
The benches are constructed well up in
the center of the house, bringing the
plants close to the glass, and the space
allowed between each row would be con-
sidered by the commercial man as the
height of extravagance, but when taken
into consideration the results attained
from such treatment, there are no regrets
whatever. A few of the most prominent
of the old favorites were Niveus, Mrs.
Bobinson, Mrs. Constable, Mrs. Weeks,
E. Hatch, V. Morel, lona. Helen Blood-
good, Golden Wedding, Philadelphia and
Bonnaffon. Among the newer ones
which proved quite satisfactory were
Mrs. Coombes, Dr. Enguehard and Wm.
Puckham.

Various Notes.

The cut flower market is picking up
nicely, considering the warm weather.
The mercury is frequently seen in the
sixties. Roses have resigned for the
past two weeks in favor of the mum, but
as the growers have recognized the folly
of stocking the market vrith them during
mum season, there have not been ahy
losses in this line and those who have
held them back aire showing up nicely
for the holidays.

Xew carnation seedlings and sports
are becoming quite numerous out here,
mostly of Lawson pedigree. Benson
has a white sport from this source which
is very promising. Ben Boldt has a
pink sport from the same stock, color of
Enchantress and possessing the other
qualities of its parent. Mr. Graham, of
City park, has a striped sport. Davis
Bros, have a new white seedling, large,
fragrant and beautifully fringed, with
fairly good stem.

Twenty members of the craft organ-
ized a bowling league recently. The
leading flrms in the business contributed
a liberal fund for premiums and a sat-
isfactory start was made on a better
basis than any similar undertaking here-

GARDENING QUERIES.

What causes celery to get pithy, or
"hollow," as it is often called? What
causes outdoor cucumjaers to decay
while on the vines? Some have ru:ity
spots all over them, as if stung, and
they curl up and do not grow straight.
What is the best head lettuce to grow
for summer? L. H. W.

The trouble you mention with celery
is brought on through various causes.
Often it can be attributed to the seed,
which has carelessly been selected from
pithy stock. Celery sown indoors and
afterwards transferred to the open
ground will often become pithy through
softness of growth previous to planting
out, and too much manure will often
cause pithy growth. If good seed is
procured, sown and grown entirely out-
doors and the plant set in a moder-
ately enriched soil, there should be no
trouble with pithy celery.

Your cucumbers are probably attack-
ed by the cucumber beetle. Keep the
plants dusted with air-slaked lime, es-
pecially in the earlier stages of growth,
taking care that the under as well as

the upper side of the leaves is cov-
ered.

The best standing summer head let-
tuce I have ever tried is Deacon.

STRENGTH OF ACID.

We notice in the Review of Novem-
ber 10 an article on keeping insects
down, by W. S. Croydon. As we have
trouble with white fly on cucumbers we
would like to try hydrocyanic acid gas.
Mr. Croydon does not state what per
cent pure sulphuric acid he used. As
it is sold from forty per cent to ninety-
eight per cent pure, we fear that we may
get too strong a dose. D. B.

The acid I use is what is known as
the commercial grade. Th's is claimed
to be ninety-six per cent pure acid, four
per cent water. There is a refined grade
sold only for medicinal use, but this is
much more expensive and is no better
for the purpose in hand than the com-
mercial article. W. S. Croydon.

CUCUMBERS.

I find, in the training of cucumber
plants, that it is a good plan to have
two leaders, in place of running them
on the single-stem system. When the
plants are about eight inches high I
pinch out the points, which causes them
to break. Several shoots are usually
produced. Of these I select the two
strongest and train them horizontally at
first, until they are long enough to reach
the upright wires placed eighteen inches
apart, the plants of course being set
midway between the two wires. The
taking of two stems induces fruiting at
an earlier stage than if the single-stem
system is followed, besides preventing
rankness of growth. The lateral or side
shoots are what must be depended on to
produce pistillate flowers on which alone

72

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

Deckmbeb 1, 1004.

the fruit can be set. These lateral shoots,
where the double-stem system is em-
ployed, will be produced from the point
where tlie stems take the upward turn,
thus leaving no blank spaces at the bot-
tom of the trellis, as is often the. case
when tlie plants are grown to a single
stem only.

The checking of rank growth is of
considerable advantage in inducing freer
setting of the fruit. According as the
lateral shoots appear, they should be
trained horizontally to the wires, and
wlien they hare attained sufficient length
to cover the space allotted to them tlie
]ioint8 should be pinched out to prevent
them running through one another. A
mistake is often made in letting too
much growth remain on the plants. If
this is not guarded against the shoots
will crowd one another, preventing the
free ])assage of light and air. Such con-
ditions are only productive of poor fruit
and a fruitful cause of mildew and other
fungous diseases, besides giving a lodg-
ing place to red spider and other in-
jurious insects, the denseness of the
foliage making it hard to reach them
with the syringe.

The trellis should be constructed of
good, strong wires, which should run
both up and down and lengthways of the
house, forming a network with meshes
not larger than six or eight inches. This
makes tying much more convenient than
if the wires are wider apart. The trellis
should run parallel with the glass and
far enough away from it so that the
foliage will not come in contact with
the glass, where it would, during severe
weather, be sure of getting hurt by
frost. W. S. Croydon.

THE PLANT ESTATE.

The .garden committee of the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society went to
New Ijondon, Conn., October .28, being
met on 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, ending
at the private pier on the estate. After
lunch with Mr. Head the committee made

by the Lord & Burnham Co. Two divi-
sions were filled with single-stemmed
chrysanthemums which included all the
newest and most up-to-date sorts. The
flowers were all of high class quality.
William Duckham was superb. Adele,
an incurved pink, was much admired.
Ben Wells, A. J. Balfour, Mrs. T. W.
Pockett, Miss Mildred Ware, Mrs. Weeks,
Col. Appleton, F. S. Vallis, C. J. Salter,
Leila Filkins and W. R. Church were the
extra fine sorts. Two curvilinear span
houses, wings from the palm houses, are
used as show houses and nicely arranged
with chrysanthemums, begonias, mar-
guerites, Cattleya labiata, Oncidium
vnricosum Rogersii, heliotropes and oth-
er flowering stuff mixed with foliage
plants.

In the rose house varieties grown are
Bride, Bridesmaid, Golden Gate, Beauty,
Perle and the new General MacArthur.
I In the carnation house, where the plants
'^had been grown inside all summer, En-
chantress stood head and shoulders over
all others. EsteUe as a scarlet was first-
class and is well liked. Other sorts in-
cluded Lawson, Maceo, Roosevelt, Mrs.
M. A. Patten, Nelson Fisher, The Bride
Lillian Pond and other fine sorts.

Two divisions are planted with grapes,
principally Muscats and Black Ham-
burgh, and two others to peaches and
nectarines.

A large force of men are still em-
ployed here, grading, planting and doing
other necessary work, and the estate
when finished, will be one of the best in
New England. A word might fittingly
be said of the fine granite house occu-
pied by Mr. Head, costing $35,000. Like
everything else on the place, it shows
that there has been no stint of money
I in any department and that Commodore
' Plant feels a keen interest in his em-
ployes ' welfare, which is being increased-
ly shown on other estates.

The Market.

The leading retail men all say that
there was nothing the matter with the

Greenhouses at the M. F. Plant Estate, Groton, Conn.

a tour of the extensive greenhouses and
grounds. Work has only been in pro-
gress a little over two years on this new-
place but an immense amount of improve-
ments have been completed in that time.
The pleasure grounds when laid out will
cover forty acres. In addition a large
farm is attached to the estate.

The greatest amount of interest nat-
urally centered in the greenhouses, the
last of which have just been completed

cut flower trade for Thanksgiving.
Everybody was busy working late
Wednesday night to fill orders for early
morning delivery. The general report
was that they found Thanksgiving trade
as good as ever, if not a little better, and
prices about the same as last year.

The wholesalers report a big shipping
trada and are well satisfied with the
amount of business done. The supply of
first-class stock in roses was light. The

quality of the bulk of the stock was
hardly up to the average. American
Beauties were, and are still, very scarce,
that is, the fancy grades. These brought
as high as $10 per dozen at the retail
stores. The market, though, is well sup-
plied with the shorter grades, which are
selling well. Brides and Maids also sold
well and so did Meteor, Liberty, Ivory,
Gate and Carnot. The fancy grades in
those had a big demand and not enough
to go around. The demand was heaviest
for red and pink.

The carnation supply was about equal
to the demand. A few small lots were
left over, as the quality was very poor.
The price on the prime stock was high
and the store men were compelled to
charge 75 cents and $1 per dozen and the
demand was heavy.

Good chrysanthemums were quite plen-
tiful in all except first-class stock, which
sold at stiff prices. Romans and Paper
Whites were plentiful and sold at regular
market rates. Lily of the valley had an
active demand, stock first-class. Good
long stevia is in the market. Violets
never sold better than this Thanksgiving.
The supply was short and as usual the
growers were off crop just when the trade
can use thousands at big prices.

Fine blooming plants moved well. The
growers who supply the trade here report
that they are well supplied with first-class
slock for holiday trade. Beyer, Schray,
Sanders, Felter, Windier and others say
they expect a big trade for this stock
up to Christmas.

Various Notes.

There will be a hot time at the meet-
ing of the Florists' Club next Thursday
afternoon. In my notes in the last issue
the date mentioned, December 10, should
be December 8. The clubroom in the
Odd Fellows' building, where the meet-
ings are held, will not be able to hold
the crowd. Some of our silver-tongued
orators are already toned up to a high
pitcli. The members should not fail to re-
spond to President Juengel's notice and
attend. Early, 2 p. m., is the time. A
full account of this meeting will appear
in the issue of December 15. The trus-
tees are also expected to have the essays
ready for assignment at this meeting.
This will be the last meeting of the club
this year.

The Ellison Floral Co. furnished the
decorations for the dinner to the Jap-
aucs3 prince, which were elaborate. The
prince made Mrs. Ellison a very hand-
some present as a memento. This firm
has had a number of large dinners of
late, which were given in honor of for-,
cigu celebrities by the World's Fair of-
ficials. Arthur Ellison also reports a big
trade for Thanksgiving,

preparations for three large weddings
this week. Henry Ostertag reports they
have enough plants now to furnish a
dozen weddings a day.

Fred Meinhardt and Otto Koenig will
no doubt give the club members at the
next meeting the benefit of their experi-
ence with a World's Fair flower show.

Robert Beyer reports a good sale on
azaleas, poinsettias and decorative stock,
of which he has a big stock for the holi-
days.

A. C. Greiner, who won the $25 special
prize for his display of cacti at the
World's Fair flower show, reports a good
sale for his stock to foreign visitors.
Mr. Greiner 's place on Natural Bridge

The Michel Plaat & Bulb Co, has a
fine supply of holiday stock of plants,
especially Boston and Piersoni ferns.

The lar^e show houses of Waldbart,
Weber, Miller and others are well filled
with choice stock in plants of all kinds.

The Market.

The Thanksgivin.g trade left the stock
all cut down closely and naturaJly re-
ceipts were light at the end of last week;
in fact there was more stock in market
on Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiv-
ing, in proportion to the demand, and
prices were consequently weaker than at
any time since. The usual increase in
cuts which comes a few days after a hol-
iday has not been manifest this week,
probably because of the cold, dark weath-
er, which has retarded development. There
are fair supplies of Beauties of excellent
quality but Thanksgiving prices stiii hold.
Tea roses are equal to requirements but
the best grade of stock has not gone be-
low the holiday rates and is in good de-
mand; low grades are weaker. Carna-
tions are the scarcest item on the list; in
fact, for almost the first time this sea-
son receipts are under the demand and
supplies cleaned up early each day. .Stock
of qualit/ to stand a journey is worth
more this week than it was last. There
are plenty of fine single violets but not
many good^doubles ; the Hudson river
growers seebi to be finding a satisfactory
market nearer home just now. Chrysan-
themums are nearly gone, only a few late
^sorts being seen and these of indifferent
quality. Stevia is coming in heavily and
selling at all sorts of prices. A little
mignonette is offered. The plentiful item
is Paper White narcissus". There is
enough valley and "green goods" are
abundant.

The growers report that there is plenty
of stuff on the plants and that a few days
of warm bright weather will bring abun-
dant supplies again. At present it is 10
degrees below normal.

Shipping trade is good and city busi-
ness fair and a good market for some
time is looked forward to. Thanksgiving
business is generally reported as ahead of
last year.

Various Notes.

Henry Payne, the "green goods" grow-
er at Hinsdale, has the sympathy of all
in the loss of his eldest daughter, Delia,
a bright young lady 20 years of age.

The retailers are busy making up stock
for Christmas. C. W. McKellar savs the
sale for cape flowers is very good but that
immortelle wreaths can now be bought
cheaper than the retailers can make them
up.

Only a little holly has so far reached
this market and early in the week it was
hard to find. Such as has come in was
of fair quality.

Kennicott Bros. Co. report a big busi-
ness on red berries and are booking many
orders for Christmas delivery.

Percy Jones says he expects to have
mums right along up to Christmas. He is
still getting in 1,000 to 1,200 a day.

Ed Winterson says that he is so busy
these days that he is in no danger of get-
ting into mischief. The supply depart-
nient is rushed, cut flowers are moving
lively and they are doin^ quite a business
in plants, such as Bostons and rubbers.
They handle considerable wild smilax but
are going light on bouquet green and

holly, so Mr. Degnan says. Last year
they were right in line on green but the
market has been so unsettled the past year
or two that it has become a good deal of
a gamble. E. H. Hunt 's is amother house
that is willing the other fellow should
make whatever money is to be made in
green. Capt. H, Schuenemann has ar-
rived at the Clark street bridge with his
£chooner of green and Christmas trees.

At Poehlmann Bros. Co. 's they have the
wall decorated with their blue ribbons.
It makes quite an imposing array.

Will Graff was up from Columbus one
day this week. He reports good business
there.

Weiland & Eisch are cutting some very
fine Brides and Maids and find them ex-
ceptionally good property just now.

Peter Beinberg and John Muno are at
Duquoin, 111., after quail.

C. W. Reimers, of Louisville, Ky., is in
town with samples of poinsettias for
Christmas delivery.

The stock in the conservatories of Wm.
H. Chadwick was sold at auction Novem-
ber 28 by the trustee in bankruptcy. Most
of it went to private parties at low prices.

BOSTON.

The Market.

The general verdict appears to be that,
taking everything into consideration, this
year's Thanksgiving business surpassed
that of all preceding years. An enormous
quantity of flowers came into the market
but practically everything was cleaned out.
At the Park street market John Walsh,
the gonial manager, reported business to
have been the best since the market start-
ed. Wholesalers and retailers all appear
to be well satisfied with the amount of
business transacted. The weather on
November 23 was clear and fine and, while
it was gloomy on the holiday itself, rain
fortunately held off.

While prices ruled somewhat firmer,
there were no sharp advances im .'my of
the staples. First-class Brides and Brides-
maids brought $6 to $12, extra select
Bridesmaids going as high as $16. Some
of the poorer grades sold as low as $1.
American Beauties were in rather shorter
supply. The best grades of these do not
come to the markets, being sold directly
to the stores. About $40 per hundred
seemed to be the top price on these. The

best grade of Liberty brought $25, good
stock selling at $10 to $15. In carnations
all good stock brought $4, Enchantress
and Lawson seeming to be ini best demand.
Nothing possessing any merit went below
$3. The quality of carnations was never
excelled at Thanksgiving.

Chrysanthemums of good quality
brought $12 to $16, a few select going at
$3 per dozen. Small flowers, not good
enough to sell at all before the holiday,
cleared out at $4 per hundred. White
chrysanthemums were searee. White Bon-
naffon being the only one seen in quantity.
Violets were in first-class demand, the gen-
eral price being $1 y>er hundred. In. the
way of other flowers there were good sup-
plies of Paper White narcissi, heliotrope,
mignonette, stevia, Cypripedium insigne
and a variety of other stock. Pot plant
trade was very good, cyclamens, poinset-
tias, Begonia Gloire de Lorraine, berried
solanums. Azalea Indica, Otaheite oranges,
Boston and Piersoni ferns being in best
demand.

Prices since Thanksgiving have ruled
firm. Carnations bring $3 to $4 for select
stock. Beauty and Liberty roses are higher
tlian a week ago, but good Brides and
Bride.':maids can still be had for $6 to
$8 per hundred. Violets still bring $1 and
will probably maintain that price until
after Christmas. William Spillsbury and
William Sim each send as many as 12,000
singles a day, making several shipments
each day.

Various Notes.

An effective table decoration the past
week at a dinner for a newly made bride
consisted of a combination of Amer-
ican Beauty roses and Gros Colmar
gra{ies. The roses had very long stems
bent in the form of an arch and from
them hung the grapes, tied with white rib-
bon. It was quite a fetching combination.

Zinn, the Beacon street florist, had
something of a novelty for the Thanks-
giving trade in the form of well-flowered
6-inch pots of Spiraea Japonica.

The annual exhibition of children's
herl>ariums at Horticultural Hall on No-
vember 25 and 26 brought a display of
over 2,000 moiuited specimens. Gratuities
were awarded to all the collections, which
were eagerly scanned by many visitors and
reflected very great credit on the young
folks displaying them.

©rs' Association will hold its annual car-
nation exhibition at Horticultural Hall
on February 11, in conjunction with the
winter exhibition of the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society. A !&ne exhibition
is assured.

The Massachusetts Horticultural Soci-
ety will hold prize exhibitions during 1905
as follows: February 11, March 28 to 26
(spring exhibition and meeting of Amer-
ican Rose Society), May 6, June 3 and 4
(rhododendron show), June 10 (peony
show), June 24 and 25 (rose and straw-
berry show), July 8 and 9, July 22, Au-
gust 5, 12, 19 and 26, September 14 to 17
(annual plant, fruit and vegetable show),
November 9, 10, 11 and 12 (chrysanthe-
mum show).

H. A. Stevens Co., of Dedham, have a
beautiful pink sport from Mrs. Lawson
carnation very like Enchantress. It should
prove very popular, as the color holds
well.

Nice lots of Cypripedium insigne are-
coming in from Thomas Roland, N.ihant,
Charles Evans Co.. Watertown, and John
McFarland. North Easton. It is doubt-
ful if any orchid pays better than this
old-time favorite, even today. It is easy
of culture, increases rapidly in size and
value and the flowers are all right a
month or two hence if not needed now.

Poinsettias are being more largely used
in the stores than for some years. Hoff-
mann, on Massachusetts avenue, had a
very fetching window arrangement of
white chrysanthemums and poinsettias for
Thanksgiving.

Prospects are good for a considerable
addition to the sjjecial prizes to be offered
in connection with the meeting of the
American Rose Society in Boston in
March, 1905. Theee it is hoped may tempt
our western, Canadian and Pennpylvanian
growers to bring their best along to the
Hub.

The Minot-Channing wedding at King's
Chapel on November 22 was one ',f the
leading society events of the month in
Boston. DoyJe used white chrysanthemum.",
smilax and palms exclusively at the church,
while at tlie bride 's home green ana white
was the color scheme, except in the recep-
tion room, where Bridesmaid roses were
largely used.

N. S. Wax & Co. 's store on Winter
street, near Tremont, is always very at-
tractive. Some extra fine Maud Dean and
Wanamaker chrysanthemums were noted
there tlie past week.

A store which continues to improve very
much is that of Rogers, on Summer street,
whose place of business is near the South
Terminal station. In addition to his
usual line, quite a number of orchids have
recently been displayed.

The Wellesley rose continues to be in
wonderful demand in Boston at all stores
where it is handled. At John Walsh '." Mai-
den store, a good number are also disposed
of. This new rose will Jje introduced by Mr.
Montgomery in the spring of 1905, and
large orders are already being booked for
it.

James Rough, manager of the new mar-
ket, reports business as being excellent
the past week, with practically everything
cleaned out.

Our first genuinely cold snap of the
season arrived on November 27, tempera-
ture falling to zero in some nearby loca-
tions. A light fall of snow gave the coun-
try a rather wintery aspect. This cold
weather is naturally affecting the output
of flowers and prices are likely to have
a hardening tendency.

NEW YORK.

The Market

Thanksgiving was about up to general
expectations. The inevitable slump in val-
ues came on the afternoon of Wednesday.
It was the same old story, oversupply
when the day dawned and undersupply for
days preceding the holiday, when the nor-
mal shipments and perfect stock would
have brought excellent prices and left
the holiday able to digest and distribute
the natural supply. All the lessons and
experience of generations cannot teach
the growers the common sense system and
complete daily shipments. They leave no
basis for an intelligent calculation. The
market is always an enigma before a hol-
iday. For days the market was hungry
for supplies. When they arrived it was
too late.

Every Jiind of stock felt the condition.
Violets that were worth $1.50 dropped to
$1 and 75 cents and even 50 cents before
the purging process was complete. The
highest prices touched were $6 per dozen
for Beauties and $15 per hundred for
Brides and Maids. These rates did not
hold and only the top grade went at these
figures.

Carnations were very abundant ands.the
regular varieties were disposed of beneath
their actual value. Some novelties touched
10 cents. The effect of the depreciation
remained during the balance of the week
and tliis week opens with little improve-
ment. RetailerF, however, announce a
growing interest and the closeness of
Christmas has a manifest effect on. the
hopes and ambitions of all the prominent
establishments on Broadway and Fifth
avenue.

Already the buying of Christmas goods
is in full blast. Orders are being placed
with the growers and all the indications
point to an exceptional holiday season.
The men who make the retail flower busi-
ness of New York have been making mon-
ey. One prominent retailer announced
today his belief that this season would ag-
gregate double the holidav bu-siness of
1903.

Various Notes.

James Hanunond disposed of his usual
Thanksgiving sjiecialty, orange trees, as
rapidly as his grower could deliver them
and has arranged for a large Christmas
supply.

Charles Millang has been re<'eiving some
fine bulbous stock from Snyder, of Ridge-
wood. He has handled an enormous quan-
tity of mums this year, his Chadwicks
being extra' good.

John Harrison's White House carna-
tion, which he controls, grows in popu-
larity. He handles the violets of D. MsTr-
quardt. of Rhinebeck, among the best that
reach tliei New York market.

John J. Perkins, as usual, is handling
large quantities of extra fine cypripe-
diums.

James Hart, Jr., is in charge of the
wholesale business of the veteran, at 117
W. Thirtieth street and is rapidly building
an excellent trade, the establishment of
this house dating back to 1871.

Some grand Enguehard, yellow and
white Chadwick, Maud Dean, Gold Mine,
Jones and Nagoya chrysanthemums were
seen daily last week at Guttman's. Vic-
tory, the new red carnation, sold for 10
cents at Thanksgiving.

Frank Frank, of Tliird avenue and
Eighty-eightti street, is recovering from a
severe illness.

Wm. Mortimer, of Bloomingdale 's flo-

ral department, has the sympftthy of the
trade in the loss of his father. .;., ,,

Peter Downing is again with M. A.
Bowe. He has twenty-eight years ' experi-
ence in New York in the decorative de-
partments of leading retailers.

President Philip Breitmeyer on his way
to Philadelphia, spent several days with
his New York friends last week and en-
joyed the hospitality of Messrs. Traendlyji
Nugent, Sheridan, Young and Raynor.
Mr. Breitmeyer was accompanied by his
Detroit architect and will shortly build an
oflSce building that will contain the finest
flower store in America.

Arthur Boddington has received a great
stock of hardy roses of all the best varie-
ties and- has just installed his new oak
seed cases and made his big store as con-
venient as the best.

S. Geller's windows are made espe-
cially attractive by Christmas bells and
well stocked ferneries of unique designs
in preparation for the holiday trade.

It was interesting the day before
Thanksgiving to note the assortment of
campions on exhibition. The list may
prove of interest. There were Gaiety,
Joost, Lawson, Goodenough, White Cloud,
Scott, Bellmore, Mrs. McKay, Melba,
Prosperity, Enchantress, Harry Fenn, Gen-
evieve Lord, Pink McGowan^ Dark Scott,
Gov. Bliss, Crane, Roosevelt, Maceo, Hill,
Bradt, Estelle, McGowan, Queen Louise,
Dorothy, Cervera, Goethe^ Oakfield and
Floriana. Still they come. Next year
almost as many new varieties will be bid-
ding for public favor.

John H. Foley, with N. Lecakes & Co.,
is handling an average of ],500 strings
of smilax weekly from Chaoin Bros., of
Pine Brook, N. Y.

Handsome baskets of begonias fronn
C. W. Ward's were much in demand at
John Young's before Thanksgiving,

Walter Sheridan had an immense supply
of grand Beauties for the holiday, as
usual.

The Schultz brothers, of Madison, N. J.,
were in the city Thanksgiving eve, making
fraternal calls upon their agents.

President Traendly is very anxious to
make the last club meeting of the year,
Monday evening, December 12, the best of
the season, both in attendance and exhib-
its. All florists' supply houses are cor-
dially invited to take part in the exhibi-
tion. The new officers will be elected and
Mr. Nugent and his lieutenants have
something special in the commissariat line.

The auction rooms have added holly
trees in berry and leaf to their stock of
seasonable goods. Sales of late have been
very satisfactory, hardy roses especially
bringing good prices.

David Clarke's Sons report eight wed-
ding and church decoration^ in the two
days preceding Thanksgiving. They say
it was the Iwst cash Thanksgiving in
their career and claim the pulse of the
people presages a brilliant Christmas.

Messrs. Siebrecht. Miller, Butterfield,
Guttman, Barron, Pepper and Shaw on
Monday visited the establishment of Chae.
Weber, at Lynbrook, L. I., especially to
see Victory growing. They were not dis-
appointed. It is a flower of remarkable
brilliance and strength, a woiiderful
bloomer and bound to become universally
popular. The report of the committee will
express clearly its many good qualities
and will be heard at the next meeting of
the Florists' Club. Mr. Weber has 20,000
square feet of glass entirely devoted to
carnations, including Lawson, Enchant-
ress, Prosperity, Harry Fenn, Lord and
Goethe. Victory will be disseminated in
1906 and 25,000 stock plants will be in

Jos. Sakowich, of New Hyde Park, the

of the guests partaking of Mrs, Weber's

Next season's auction business will be

York's oldest florists, and manager of
Elliott's auction department for some
time, will make his bid for public confi-
dence.

last week the printer in the reference to
violets made me mention only the Tweaity-
ninth and Thirtieth street experts of New

the omission of Twenty-eighth street was
a typographical error, as every whole-
saler on Twenty-eighth street handles

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

The volume of business during Thanks-
giving week was very large. The football
games on Thursday and on Saturday
brought many visitors to the city, cre-
ating a heavy demand in addition to the
regular Thanks^ving business. The sup-
ply of flowers was enormous. Prices ad-
vanced but slightly, averaging lower than
last season, on roses especially. Chrysan-
themums were used in immense quanti-
ties, yellow being most popular on Sat-
urday. S. S. Pennock sold nearly 5,000
Bonnaffons alone. All but the rear guard
of the queen of autumn have now dis-
appeared. Violets were really scarce on
the two days above named. Liberties
sold particularly well for Penn's
last game, all the grades advanc-
ing a step. Other flowers went well,
especially the limited quantities of bou-

vardia and mignonette, the exception
being the poorer grades of tea roses and
Paper "White narcissi. The shipping trade
was excellent, the Leo Niessen Company
sending four large wagon loads of flowers
by one express train aJone. Summing up,
it may be said the retailers were especially
favored by the business conditions.

Business is quieter this week. Prices
have not advanced despite the wintry
weather. There is considerable enter-
taining going on, with stock sufficient to
meet all demands. Fancy chrysanthe-
mums are in faii- supply. W. S. Allen,
Mrs. Chadwick and Dorothy Faust are
conspicuous. The medium and poorer
grades are diminishing. Poinsettias have
made their appearance, H. H. Battles
sending some fine blooms from his Thorn-
hedge greenhouses to S. S. Pennock and
to the Flower Market. Stevia serrata is
becoming more plentiful.

Hillside.

The development in the commercial
growing of hybrid tea roses is progress-
ing steadily. It is very interesting to
note the work being done by A. Faren-
wald, and to compare that work with the
work of five, of two and of one year
ago. Liberties now fill nearly all the
place, there being two houses and one bed
over of Beauties. The Liberty is now
flowered pretty much all the year around
and is grown for four years successively
under glass. Grafted plants have been
tried, but so far do not seem equal to
those grown on their own roots.

The fall crop on the two, three and
four-year-old plants has been very heavy.
They are, however, in excellent shape,
likely to do well through the winter.
There are two houses of young plants on
benches. They are just being allowed to
bloom and will probably produce more
flowers than the older plants during the
next two months.

The Beauties have also been allowed
to remain undisturbed in the solid beds,
some for two and a few for three years.
They produced extraordinarily heavy sum-
mer crops, were rested a little and started
up again. I was much impressed with
this way of handling Liberties, but had
some doubts about its ultimate success
with Beauties.

Mr. Farenwald said that some florists
think that his paper on Liberties pub-
lished in the Review of March 24 did not
tell all he knew. This is an injustice to

Mr. Farenwald. Many growers have en-
dorsed Mr. Burton's statement that this
was the best and most complete paper
on rose growing under glass he had ever
heard.

The Game Has Begun.

"Is that John Doe"

< < Yes. ' '

< ' This is Bichard Roe. Say, Jack, you
may send me a hundred Enchantress.'*

"All right, the price is 4 cents."

' ' Hold on. Three is what I paid you
Saturday." ^ ^ , ,,

' ' I know, Dick, but they are 4 today."

"Well I don't need them. They are
only for stock, Jack."

' ' They are 4 today, Dick. ' '

"All right. I can get them from
Bobby Black."

"Very well,"

"Better send them at 3 Jack."

"Sorry, can't do it Dick. They are
worth 4."

cently making arrangements for his new

scheduled to appear next Saturday. Mr.
Stewart has experience, excellent ideas
and many warm friends, three important
factors in the success of his enterprise.

H. Bayersdorfer & Co. are receiving im-

State of Trade.

The dull spell experienced during the
past few weeks seems to have been
broken at last and a season of business
activity is noticeable on every side.
Thanksgiving trade proved unusually
brisk, the supply of flowers, especially
carnations, which at this season of the
year are by no means a scarcity, barely
keeping up with the demand.' Carna-
tions scarcely matured had to be
"pressed into service," the result being
a clean and close cut. What is note-
-worthy is the fact of the increased de-
mand for fajicy carnations, a demand by
"no means confined to the so-called upper
classes. The average buyer, as though

keeping pace with the progressive
grower, wants the best and is willing
to pay accordingly. I have heard it
expressed time and again, and by men
who know whereof they speak, that the
flower shows are mainly responsible for
the discrimination between the good,
bad and indifferent, shown by the flower
buying public. Be it as it may, the fact
is potent that there is ample room for
good and meritorious .varieties, whether
roses, carnations or chrysanthemums.

A Visit to Domers'.

A treat which I had long anticipated
came to pass when I visited F. Pornt v
& Sons' establishment. As usual, I
found the place a model of neatness,
cleanliness and good order. Notwith-
standing the hustle and bustle, the nu-
merous telephone rings for * ' hurry up "
orders, it being the day preceding
Thanksgiving, things seemed to move
along with dock^like regularity. To
visit Dorner one necessarily has his mind
as well as his eye on carnations. First
of all we took a stroll through the white
section, where the I>ady Beautiful and
The Belle can be seen in all their glory,
finer, it seemed to me,, than last season,
when they were put on the market. Be-
tween the two, as I saw them here, it
would l)e hard to take one's choice, both
being ideal in growth as well as perfect
in bloom. The Lady Bountiful, however,
is Mr. Dorner 's favorite. What bids fair
to create a bit of furore a year or two
years hence is a white seedling in its
third year. The average bloom^ and
there were about two dozen in sight on
the few plants, fully measure<l four
inches in diameter. The calyx is per-
fect, the stem long and erect, the growth
ideal.

Speaking of seedlings, one must go
through the house especially devoted to
seedlings and see thousands of them,
some in the first, others in the second
and third years ' growth. Among the lat-
ter there are a number of scarlets that
look very promising indeed, although
Mr. Dorner himself is rather skeptical
as to the merits of some, I may say
of the most, having selected but one in
that class. Its color is a brilliant scar-
let, the bloom is large and well built
up in the center, stem and calyx fault-
less. Then there are pinks galore, of

various sizes, qualities and colors. Two
of these attracted my special attention,
for besides their size and fine growth,
the colors are unlike anything I have
yet seen. It may be described as some-
thing between the shade of Enchant-
ress and Fiancee. Although they look
identical to me, they represent two dis-
tinct varieties. A crimson seedling in its
third year may be heard from in the no
distant future. Unlike anything we have
in that class, it seems to combine the
fancy with the bread and butter qual-
ities. A variegated one of the Bradt
type with a stem twice the size of the
latter, and a profuse bloomer, is like-
wise on the list of the promising ones.

And last, but by no means the least,
there is the Eclipse, for distribution
during the coming season. As its name
implies, it bids fair to eclipse all the
dark pink varieties. It is first of all
a profuse bloomer, coming in early and
continuing throughout the season. The
bloom is fine, the color an even shade
of dark pink and the stem and calyx
aU that could be desired.

Speaking of rooted cuttings, it is Mr.
Dorner 's opinion that the sooner the
growers will begin to realize that early
cuttings, unless shifted into larger pots
as they require it, will make stunted and
poor plants, the better for all concerned.
"It is the height of folly," he re-
marked, "to clamor for December and
January cuttings, and, let them shift for
themselves in a 2-inch or 2%-inch pot,
as best they can until planting time.
Such care leads to but one result,
stunted plants. Those receiving cuttings
in December or January should have
them at least in 4-inch pots by May, else
poor results will follow, as a matter, of
course. As to myself, February and
March cuttings are invariably my pref-
erence. ' ' X.

ASSOC3ATION INTERESTS.

One of the most difS.cuIt problems
confronting large organizations, de-
signed for mutual helpfulness and prog-
ress in certain, lines of work, is that of
providing scope and latitude at their
regular meetings, for the consideration
of such special departments as may be
generally ucluded in the membership of
the association. For examples take the
American Park and Outdoor Art Asso-
ciation, recently merged with the Amer-
ican League for Civic Improvement,
into the American Civic Association,
ajid the Society of American Florists
and Ornamental Horticulturists. In the
former there was a certain unrest among
the members engaged as park superin-
tendents, due to the lack of opportunity
to take up the special details of park
work; and in the latter the gardener
element in the membership felt that
their interests had not found it possible
to express themselves to their utmost to
the uplifting of the particular branches
of work involved. "While specializing
would seem to be the order of the day,
yet with so vast a territory as our coun-
try covers, all national associations be-
come more or less unwieldy; or, in
other words, they fail to meet the con-
ditions best adapted to serve all parts
on time and minister to the best interests
of any section as occasion may dictate.
Since the summer meetings at St. Louis
the American Association of Park Su-
perintendents has been organized, and
a Gardeners* Association is rapidly be-
ing developed. About the best solu-
tion so far attempted is that of the
architects, whose chapters exist wherever
conditions demand, subservient in a
measure to the parent body, but our in-
dividual states are important enough
and prosperous enough to sustain state
associations which, afSliated with a na-
tional association, might promise that
the best interests of all should be main-
tained throughout the length and
breadth of our land. — Park and Ceme-
tery.

ticles in the Review are of great value

phia, have secured an additional ware-
house fronting on York avenue. It is
but a few doors from their headquarters.

A UNIQUE window display is that of
the Henry F. Michell Co., of Philadelphia.
It shows a field of mushrooms in the
space of a few feet. The effect is caused
by mirrors placed at angles. It at-
tracts much attention and is a good ad-
vertisement.

W. Atlee Burpee & Co. want their
friends to "watch" the "seeds that

compliments. It is a full-grown speci-

The market for bouquet green is quiet.
The experience of the last couple of years
caused most of the buyers of bulk green
to place orders early and these have been
covered, with moderate quantities now on
hand which will probably hang on until
the late orders for small lots come in.
Some green is still coming out of the
wood but not in large quantities.

According to a note in the Revue Hor-
ticole the number of subscribers to the
fund for the Vjlmorin memorial at Paris
up to the present time amounts to 2138,
and the total sum to 21,155 francs, about
$4,200. Contributions have been received
from various countries, and a very large
number are of small amount, many of fif-
ty centimes only, a circumstance which
shows in what general esteem M. de Vil-
morin was held.

The Market

Notwithstanding all the j)reparation8,
Thanksgiving proved to be but a good
ordinary day 'a business. There was noth-
ing extra about the demand. Prices ad-
vanced but a trifle and that only on cer-
tain classes of stock that happened to be
scarce, such as violets and Beauties. The
general report is that business was very
fair but that mums came very near to
being a drug and fancy prices for them
out of the question. The total of busi-
ness was not up to last year. '^ »*

The mum season is about over. There
are not many to be seen at the whole-
sale houses, and, contrary to the usual
experience at this time ot year, there is
very little call for them. This season has
been a bad one here for the mums. First
to last, with but two exceptions, they have
not sold with anything like the snap of
last year. The cftuse of this is rather
hard to find, but £t is an undeniable fact
that trade in thto city this fall has not
been up to the scratch.

This market is now pretty well supplied
in all lines with the exception of red roses
and Beauties, which at times are scarce.
Valley is selling well and so are Bomans.
Violets bring most any price one day and
the next it is hard to give them avmy.
Many violets shipped to reach this city
for the Tranksgiving trade did not arrive
till the fpllowing day, when there was no
demand for them, and they were a total
loss.

Various Notes.

The chrysanthemum show held by W. K.
Partridge in his retail store proved to be
a great success. It far surpassed anything
of the kind ever attempted here and
brought out a large crowd of the flower
loving public.

A week from Saturday is the next ng-
nlar meetin|f of the Florists* Society and
a good number of the members is expected
to be on hand. C. J. Ohmeb.

The collector of customs at Chicago
sold seven cases of nursery stock from
Holland November 28. There were two
shipments aggregating 275 pieces, includ-
ing lilacs, rhododendrons, hydrangeas and
clematis.

The first nursery catalogue for the
spring of 1905 to reach us is that of
Griflang Bros. Co., Jacksonville, Fla. It
includes a general line of stock suitable
for planting in the south, beside citrus
fruits and pecans.

The proposed plan of disseminating
the Spencer seedless apple through stock
companies organized for that purpose is
attracting wide attention. The trade is
waiting for the word of a competent
authority &a to the character of the
novelty.

TRANSPLANTING CUTTINGS.

August Eolker & Sons, New York, re-
cently filed a protest against the classi-
fication for and assessment of duty on
certain merchandise entered at the cus-
toms house in New; York. The board of
appraisers heard the case November 15.
Following is the decision:

The merchandise which was Inyoiced as Bnxns
sufltrutlcosa and Buxug arborescens, was classi-
fied as eTergreen seedlings under paragraph 252,
tariff act of 1897. The board found the plants
In question to be transplanted cuttings and not
seedlings, and held that if not cuttings In their
present state they would be sufficiently de-
scribed as stocks of evergreen trees or stocks
of plants commonly known 'as nursery stock
within the meaning of said paragraph, as con-
tended by the Importers.

The Market

Thanksgiving week was one of the busi-
est in the history of the trade here.
There was an exceptionally brisk de-
mand for flowers and plants for decorat-
ing and gifts. A feature of the week
was the annual football game between
Missouri and Kansas universities held
Thanksgiving day. A rush was made by
the students of each college for the fl^r-.
ists and chrysanthemums disappeared un-
til looking over the benches the day after
it looked as though a cyclone had struck
them. We are always glad when the
students come.

Various Notes.

Alfred Broman, of Independence, for-
merly with Kellogg, at Pleasant Hill, has
some fine roses in his houses. In fact,
everything looks very nice out on the Lex-
ington road.

A rumor is afloat that another range of
houses is about to be erected at Fifteenth
and Euclid. Your correspondent is un-
able to give the name of the party con-
templating tie. improvement.

C. A. Blankenfeld wishes to say that a
mistake was made in the item week before
last. He says that it is Langshan and
not Leghorn chi^ens he is raising.

AJl the florists' are getting ready for
Christmas business. Advance orders are
being sent in for cut flowers and plants
and all the florists are wearing a smile of
content.

The florists of Kansas City are up
against a stiff proposition, the depart-
ment stores and the street fakirs, who
are coming in competition with the legit-
imate growers.

Bunyar reports business as good in his
line and is propagating lots of stuff for
the spring market.

Chas. Laundy, of Westport, is thor-
oughly satisfied with his new location and
reports business as rushing out his way.

Arthur Newell says he has nothing to
complain of in the way of business.

The Market

Business the past week has been very
good. Thanksgiving has come and gone
and most of the retail stores as weU as
many of the market people report an
increase over last year's business.
Among the wholesalers, most of them
were left with large quantities of car-
nations on hand. We understand fine
stock could have been bought Wednes-
day evening at $15 per thousand. White
carnations, which were very scarce for
the ten days preceding Tuesday, were

very much in evidence for Thanksgiving,
but the trouble was there is never mudi
call for white for any holiday. The
Pittsburg Cut Flower Ck). had an im-
mense stock of chrysanthemums, which
they cleaned up nicely. They report
most of their growers entirely cut out
and expect the coming week to clean
them up for this year.

The general report of increased sales
is somewhat surprising in the face of
the fact that almost all stock sold
cheaper than ever before at this time
of the year. The street merchants sold
carnations as cheap as 25 cents per
dozen.

Various Notes.

Now that the mum season is about
over it might be valuable information
for the growers to know that the de-
mand this year has been for good chrys-
anthemums of medium size. The ver-
dict of all the retailers is that people,
without regard to their means, prefer
the smaller flowers for their own use.
Of course there wiH always be a limited
demand for the show blooms and larger
flowers, but for several years the patrons
have shown their preference for blooms
that retail at $1 to |2 per dozen.

Lincoln I. Neff received a large
funeral order Thursday afternoon which
kept him busy all night and sent him

shopping. „ _.. i.-

J. B. Murdoch & Co. report a satis-
factory Thanksgiving business on all

night for the boys to pay their dues;
they will have the secretary there ready
to receive same, and they expect to give
vou full value for your money the same
night. Don't miss the smoker, there
are to be "large doin's.''

Chas. T. Siebert, who has been very
ill for some time, was down town Sat-
urday, the first time for several months.

and the attendance very satisfactory.
Among the principal exhibitors were Mrs.

of the premiums for carnations. Mr.
Ogilvie made nearly a clean sweep of the
classes for cut blooms of chrysanthemums,
his varieties being mostly the Wells-
Pockett set sent out last season.

An error occurred in a recent adver-

Dbcember 1, 1004.

CLEVELAND.

The Market.

l^hanksgiving is past and it caa be
truthfully said that it surpassed last year
by at least twenty per cent. The de-
nwnd for flowers, from a retailer's point
of view, was; Chrysanthemums first, car-
nations second, violets and Beauties third.
Tea roses suflfered greatly, there being
practically no demand; consequently a
large supply was left over. Several nov-
elties were introduced in the form of
hampers filled with violets and valley
*\f-^ ^'*h a pretty ribbon to match. Or-
chids played a prominent part in this
manner and were a decided acquisition.

Pumpkins and cabbages were used to
fine advantage by Mr. Eastwell, of Smith
& betters. The former were cut out to
represent a basket with handle attached
filled with seasonable fruit and hand-
somely finished off with flowers and chif-
fon. The cabbage was indeed a rare
novelty, the curly variety being used.
Ihese were trimmed with violets and val-
ley, also a large bow of ribbon attached,
which made it quite complete. I don't
wonder they had a large demand for
them as they were just the thing for a
Ihanksgiving centerpiece.

At Gasser's the orchid novelties were
about cleaned out when I managed to set
around. Mr. Darnell says that every-
thing cleaned up nicely and is perfectly
satisfied with the volume of business
transacted. He is of the impression that
had the weather been better much more
Dusincss would have resulted.

C. M. Wagner, of Erie street, did a
fine business and has no complaint t6
make Chrysanthemums, carnations alid
violets were called for jnostly, and as Mr
Wagner handled twice the quantity of
stock this year it speaks wonders for his
business increase. Miss Eadie, aJso of
Erie street, had a good call for chrj-san-
themums and carnations. A nice lot of
I'aper \\hites and Romans were used in
mixed boxes of flowers. Violets had a
fine run and were sold out by Thursday
noon. •'

of^i°]!l°i^',?,^'""^'''^ °P«°^^ a fine store
at 146 Euclid avenue on November 21.
It was a most auspicious opening and
from the quality of stock handled it is a
certainty they are on the right track to
catch the best trade. They have a per-
fectly equipped store and an ideal loca-
tion, being in the business center. Mr
Harrison is highly pleased with their
Thanksgiving trade. It proved consid-
erably greater than they had anticipated.
Iheir specialty was Beauties and hun-
dreds were used. Violets anjd chrysan-
themums of the best qualitv were cleaned
up, as were also carnations'. A few pots
of poinsettias gave evidence that it is
not their day and must take a back seat
until Christmas.

PACIFIC COAST.

ABOUT ROSES.

We are now in that season of the year
in which roses that are grown outside
should be transplanted and pruned.
Owing to the peculiarly warm weather we
have had during the preceding month
the plants are still in a growing condi-
tion, and owing to the absence of frost
they are still covered with plenty of
bloom and young foliage. To transplant
them at this time considerable care must
be taken in handling or they will re-
ceive a check from which they will not
recover for many months, if they do at
all. Our planting season is now on and
nurserymen are receiving plenty of
orders for this class of stock.

It is a good plan to dig all the roses
from the nursery rows and, after trim-
ming all the foliage off and cutting back
the longest runners on the climbers and
strong growing hybrids, to heel them in
a space by themselves. Give them a good
soaking to pack the top soil around the
roots and, if we have a continued dry
and warm spell such as present condi-
tions indicate, it is a good idea to
sprinkle them frequently. Boses handled
in this way will commence in a few weeks
to make quantities of fibrous roots, when
all danger in handling them will be
passed.

Many growers and retailers handle
their stock in the early spring and
throughout the summer in 5-inch and
6-inch pots, in which case this is the
proper time to pot them. It is a good
plan to put a handful of well rotted
manure in the bottom of the pot when
planting them and they will respond
splendidly later in the season with an
increased growth of foliage and flowers.

Boses in pots should always be
plunged in the ground as soon as
planted, as it is impossible to grow a
nice plant where the outer surface of the

pot is always dry during the spring and
summer, as in this latitude. Boses that
are heeled in can be handled with bare
roots until the end of March, but after
that they should be planted out in the
ground or planted in pots.

Begarding the soils in which roses
flourish best we have many inquiries.
Heavy black soil seems to fill all re-
quirements, especially for hybrids, hybrid
teas and climbers. The tea varieties grow
fairly well in light, sandy or gravelly
soil, but they also do better when planted
in stronger ground. I have frequently
seen strong plants transplanted from
adob6 to sand actually starve to death
in one season, even when given the best
of situations and care, and it is safe to
say that the only proper soil for roses is
the heaviest that can possibly be had.

I do not believe in the wholesale
pruning of roses unless to rid them of
unruly growths or sm^U weak wood.
When we have an almost endless grow-
ing season, as we do here in California,
it is very easy to cripple and permanent-
ly impair the future value of a strong
growing sort by injudicious pruning, and
unless, as I have before stated, the plants
are unshapely or given to extraordinary
branching, I have yet to find any ad-
vantage in the wholesale pruning of roses
when intended for ordinary garden cul-
ture. G.

of. but by Tuesday evening orders began
coming in very rapidly and Wednesday
brought a perfect avalanche of business.

Considerable complaint is being re-
ceived from Berkeley residents, owing to
the fact that the best gardens in the
town have been despoiled of their finest
plants by thieves during the last few
months. Prof. Hilgard, the botanist,
whose grounds are among the finest in
that burg, has lost many valuable shrubs
and flowering plants,

ThcWcckly Florists^ Review*

DECEMBBB 1, 1904.

BALTIMORE. MD.

Thanksgiving business was all that
could be eocpected. I believe everybody
here did a nice business, selling about ail
the stock there was to be had. At the Ex-
change business was better than any pre-
vious Thanksgiving. Everything sold out
clean and considerable more could have
been disposed of. Violets and good roses
were the scarcest articles. This week has
opened with good demand and stock a
little short. Mums axe practically done,
Jerome Jones being the only variety of con-
sequeomce now coming in. The Exchange is
in receipt of the first shipment of sweet
peas for the season. Paper Whites arp
beginning to arrive and sell very well.
Prices advanced very little last week.
Beauties goinig at $2 to $4 per dozen, teas
at $4 to $8 per hundred, carnations at
$1.50 to $3, violets 60 cents to 75 cents.

W. L. Kennedy, of Kennedy Bros., has
opened a retail store at 702 N. Fremont
avenue.

The thermometer registered as low as
16 degrees here early Monday morning,
this being the coldest we have had here
this season. A. F.

TAUNTON, MASS.

Thajiksgiving trade was fully as good
as ini 1903. The principal demand was
for yellow chrysanthemums and pink and
red carnations. White flowers moved more
slowly, but practically everything cleared
out. One of our local florists advertised
a sale of $1 chrysanthemums for 25 cents
on November 22 and warranted them to
keep fresh until Thanksgiving! This did
not affect the trade for good stock. There
was a nice demand for pot plants and
taken all in all business was very satis-
factory. ^, JJ^ Q_

ST. PAUL.

Thanksgiving business was very good,
with scarcely enough stock for the de-
mand. Everything sold well, but violets
were easily the leaders. Mums are nearly
all gone and no one is sorry, fox they
are the cause of much work to the re-
tailers and" anxiety to the growers.

November has been one of the warm-
est on record. Nothing is just right with
the growers. Roses all came in crop at
once and could not be kept back; violets
have not bloomed as they should; the
plants look nice but blossoms are scarce;
carnations are doing fairly well, but
do not yield as they should.

During the summer one of the con-
fectionery stores put in a cut flower
stand and has been selling flowers regu-
larly ever since. It is conducted by a
Greek and flowers are sold cheap, most of
them being shipp&d in.

Miss Dartt has built a violet house
<m the west side,

A. H. Bunde is running the place for-
merly conducted by W. J. Lempke.

H. E. Philpott, of Winnipeg, was a
recent caller. X. Y. Z.

George Leadley, the Woodward ave-
nue florist, has bought an apartment
building valued at $30,000, giving, it is
stated, $10,500 cash and some real estate
in exchange.

John Breitmeyer's Sons are going
ahead with their plans for building as
announced in the Review several months
ago. An eight story building 56x70 will
bi erected at a cost of $90,000. The
lower floor will be used by the firm and
the upper floors rented' as oflSces. While
rebuilding is going on the store will be
removed to the building with the Michi-
gan Cut Flower Exchange.

The Florists' Club went to Belle Isle
park November 22 to inspect the new
greenhouses erected there the past sea-
son.

A BIT OF MUM HISTORY.

I have just referred to a catalogue of
chrysanthemums issued in 1869, by John
Salter, then of the Versailles Nursery,
at Hammersmith. In that catalogue he
gives the names of a dozen or so of
Japanese chrysanthemums, representing
about the third generation of seedlings
from the original, sent home to Mr.
Robert Fortune from Japan in 1862.
The early forms of the Japanese were
tall, somewhat gaunt and inclined to be
late in flowering, in fact, in this par-
ticular catalogue, Mr. Salter remarks
that ' ' many of the Japanese remain lon-
ger in bloom and flower later than the
Chinese kinds, so that we may have our
gfccahouBea gay with them all through
the dull winter months when flowers are
scarce ; ' ' and in arranging his plants in
his show-house, toward which many an
enthusiastic member wended his steps
in November, Mr. Salter always placed
his Japs behind his large flowering
kinds, because they were of taller
growth and later in blooming. What a
change has been made in the group by

raisers! We have now an abundance of
Japs which bloom in October, and on-
ward until February. The term "in-
curved" was not used by Salter as a
heading to a section; in 1869 this type
came under the head of large-flowered
varieties, incurved and reflexed being
mingled together under this heading.
There were a few of the anemone type,
both large flowered and pompons, but
the Japanese anemone-flowered appe'aretl
to be unknown then. Of the true in-
curved varieties exhibited in 1869, only
a very few indeed find a place in cata-
logues in the present day. — Richard
Dean, in the H. T. J.

FROM OUR ENGLISH EXCHANGES.

The Gardeners' Chronicle.
Mes. Fught is a most valuable addi-
tion to the list of rambling roses, and
is likely to still further increase the
popularity these roses at present enjoy.
This variety has a vigorous habit, the
growth being somewhat stouter and more
erect than many of the rambling roses
now in cultivation; but it is not so
stout as to prevent the plants presenting
that elegant aspect for which the ram-
bling roses are remarkable. The flowers
are semi-double, about two inches in di-
ameter, and produced in huge trusses,
the number of blooms ranging from
twenty to thirty in each truss. The
color is a bright rose-pink, and the
finely developed trusses are very eflfec-
tive, both on the plants and when cut
and arranged in vases.

There are now several varieties of
brilliant bougainvilleas in cultivation,
but among the many none has such large
bracts or such consistently large bunches
of flowers as the variety named Maud

Chettleburgh. In addition to exceptional
size and profusion, the bracts are a
deeper shade of purplish rose than seen
in the well-known B. glabra, so that al-
together the newcomer may be regarded
as the finest member of the genus, see-
ing it can be readily flowered in a quite
small state, plants in 48-sized pots car-
rying fine bunches of showy bracts. The
stock has been acquired by Wm. Bull &
Sons, Chelsea.

Probably the most popular double
zonal pelargonium (geranium) in Eng-
land at the present day is F. V. Ras-
pail, rich scarlet, which was sent out by
Lemoine in 1878, and after being grown
to a limited extent in England, was al-
most lost to cultivation till about ten
years afterwards it was unearthed from
obscurity, and at once bounded into pop-
ularity, which at the present time has
not one whit abated.

In the near future Isatis glauca
will become a favorite alike with the
hardy flower lover and the park super-
intendent. At Kew it has this season
attracted so much attention that hardy
plant dealers are sure to have many in-
quiries for it. It grows about four feet
high, its light green stems being fur-
rowed and furnished with glaucous
green leaves that are elongated lance
shape, each having a conspicuous white
midrib. The growths are surmounted
by loose, spreading, freely branched
panicles of light but bright yellow flow-
ers, and, though the flowers are individ-
ually small, they collectively produce a
very pleasing effect.

That little one-inch advertisement in
your valuable paper did the work all

without request* their opinions ; we publish a few ot these letters in the columns of this paper; see
on pages 92-95-97-107. 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 (10 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.

HEATING A SMALL HOUSE.

What heating arrangement is applic-
able for a small house when water some-
times rises in the ground to within two
feet of the surface? Can hot water be
used successfully, with any boiler on the
market when no more fall can be had?
What we want is an all-purpose house,
but mainly for propagatiug^ dahlias,
which would require a moderate portion
of space with a bottom, heat about 20 de-
grees above the regular temperature of
the house and the balance for the plants
after potting off. Is there any way to
heat with a flue or a combination of
flue and water pipes in furnace that will
not be liable to the escape of gas in the
house! W* ^' B.

Unless the house under consideration
is only intended for use during a por-
tion of the year I would not advise at-
tempting to heat it by means of the
flue. While the flue has been extensively
and successfully used, it is no longer
looked upon as a satisfactory or econom-
ical means of heating a greenhouse.
You can, however, successfully combine
the flue and hot water system of heat-
ing. A flue can be constructed of brick
or of terra cotta pipe and made to fur-
nish heat to one side or all the way
around a house. The furnace can be
so made that several loops of pipe will
be carried immediately over the fire,
which will heat the water for a consid-
erable amount of radiation. A combined
flue and hot water heating device of this
character was figured and described m
the Review of December 31, 1903, page
269. The size of the firebox and the
number of coils of pipe necessary to
heat your house will depend upon the
size and exposure of the house, as well
as upon the temperature desired. With-
out this information, however, it is im-
possible to give specifications. If it is
possible to lower the boiler two feet be-
low the general surface of the soil and
still be free from water in the boiler pit
there are several types of small hot
water heatcfo which might, be BMCcess-
fully used. If the size of the house and
the temperature desired were known more
helpful and satisfactory information
could be given. L. C. C.

SURELY this cannot be true; well, we have over JOO growers who have written us, a large majority
without request, their opinions ; we publish a few ot these letters in the columns of this paper; see
on pages 92-95-97- J07« 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 (JO 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 live-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.

MILWAUKEE.

The Market.

Thanksgiving trade was a record-
breaker. The demand for flowers is in-
creasing annually for this day and,
while prices do not soar up to Christmas
and Easter levels, still a fair price is
obtained for everything seasonable and
stock in all lines was cleaned up. There
were not a great many advance orders,
but there was a heavy demand toward
the last moment, which cleaned up every-
thing in sight. There was quite a call
for chrysanthemums and as usual this
holiday cleaned up the cut. Violets also
sold well, although the supply was lim-
ited. In carnations there were enough
to go around and the quality was excep-
tionally fine. There were enough roses
to meet the demand. There was also
an abundance of stevia, Paper Whites,
Eomans and lily of the valley to help fill
out. Nearly all the florists report a
satisfactory trade.

Various Notes.

Alex. Klokner is holding a chrysan-
themum show at the Palm Garden this
week. He has on display a lot of plants
and cut flowers that were grown in his
own establishment, many of them being
prize winners. He also received an ad-
ditional lot of large stock from some
of the prize winners at the Chicago show
and the public has taken considerable
interest in the display. He has a large
display of bay trees and various tropi-
cal plants.

Holton & Hunkel are about ready to
move into their new quarters.

Kecent visitors were Mr. and Mrs.
Carl Meier, H. M. Eeinecke, Green
Bay; Louis Hartung, Two Rivers; J. E.
Matthewson, Sheboygan; M. Reukauf
and B. Eschner, Philadelphia. Incog.

Sioux Falls, S. D.— L. S. Elwell has
had a very nice lot of stock this fall and
finds business good.

PLANTS FOR FORCING.

AZALEAS FOR EASTER.

On account of Easter this year coming so very late (April 23) a season
of the year when our regular spring shipmends demand our full attention,
we have decided not to carry a supply of Azaleas until then, but to clofce
out our entire stock as quickly as possible, therefore customers who us-
ually procure their supplies late in tbe spring will do well to cover their
needs at once. The principal sorts now in stock are Mme.Van der Cruyssen
and Bernhardt Andreas Alba, the two best late flowering sorts of their
color. These two varieties can be furnished in any proporti^on desired, but- -
_tbe selection of other varietiea must be left to us.
We win still supply early orders at Import prices.

12 to 14-in. crowns $ 6.00 per dot.; $ 45.00 per 100

14 to 16-in. crowns 7.00 per doz.; 55 00 per 100

16 to l8-in. crowns 1200perdoz.; 100.00 per 100

DEUTZIAS FOR FORCING.

Strong two-year-old field grown plants suitable for 6-in. pots.

Gracilis Per doz.. $0.75; per 100, $8.00

Gracilis Rosea Per doz., l.OC; per 100, 8.00

Gracilis Lemoinei Per doz., 1.00; per 100, 8.00

AZ.ALK/V MOLLIS.

For early and late forcing Azalea Mollis is rapidly gaining favor; easily
forced at a minimum cost for heat and labor, they are profitable stock for
the retailer to handle. We are suoplying at present an unusually fine
grade of plants, 16 to 18 inches bigh, and covered with flower buds, $4.60
per doz.; $85.00 per 100.

FORCING LILACS.

' ~:A One lol of pot^ grown plants, well set witb buds and In prime condition
for forc^ag, $6.00 per doz.; $45 0) per 100.

RHODODENDRONS FOR FORCING.

These are being used more extensively every season, and this year,
with Easter at such a very late date, should prove especially acceptable,
as they can be retarded much easier than Azaleas, and at the same time
may be flowered at just the right moment at a minimum cost. We are
carrying an extra large stock of bushy well shaped plants. 16 to 18 inches
high, covered with buds. $9.00 per doz.; $70.00 per 100. Larger plants, 20 to
24 inches bigb, fine specimens, $11.00 per doz.; $90.00 per 100.

NOTES ON NOVELTIES.

Merstham Red is a very good color
and the broad petal shows to fine ad-
vantage, though the flower is not so
full as one could wish. It will, however,
be given another trial under more favor-
able conditions another year and reds
are not yet so numerous t"hat we can
afford to condemn any variety too
quickly.

Mrs. H. A. Allen is a deep pink and
showed up very prominently in the Wells
gold medal lot at Boston. While it is
full to the center, it is more of a loose
spreading flower than Duckham or other
recent pinks and is chiefly useful to the
exhibitor.

Dora Stevens reminds me morei of an
old favorite, Chenon De Leche, than
any other variety I ever grew. The
color is grand, a bright, rosy cerise, and
the shape of the flower is very attract-
ive. It does not scale high as to size
compared with some present day mot-
sters though I think it can be improved
next year in this respect.

Lady Cranston is a sport from Mrs.
Barkley and as exhibited last year in
Edinburgh was almost a pure white.
This was considered a very fine variety
and was awarded a silver medal as the
best novelty. Mrs. Barkley is an in-
curving pink but the sport in every in-
stance showed a replexed petal, which
was much more pleasing, I think. When
our flowers began to open it was found
that the color was much the same as the
parent, Barkley, and inquiry on "the
other side " as to the why and wherefore
reveals the fact that all the stock has
reverted back to the pink of the parent
and only the reflexing petal remains to
distinguish Lady Cranston from Mrs.
Barkley. Whether it will change again
next year remains to be seen but Lady
Cranston, if it is sent out at all to the
trade, must be classed as a pink.

REVIEW OF THE SEASON.

As an Exhibitor Sees Varieties.

In accordance with my custom for the
past four or five years I will look, over
the field and record my impressions by
giving a list of thirty varieties, stand-
ard kinds, that have been prominent in
the shows this year. It does not, of
course, follow that varieties do equally
well all over the country, but in the main
these kinds will be found best for exhi-
bition growers:

Whites, Merza, Ben Wells, Guy Ham-
ilton, Nellie Pockett, Timothy Eaton and
Madame Camot.

Yellow, Mrs. E. Thirkell, Cheltoni, F.
S. Vallis, Col. Appleton, General Hutton
and Yellow Eaton.

Pink, W. Duckham, Leila Filkins,
Lucy Evans, Lady Hopetoun, F. A. Cob-
bold and W. A. Etherington.

Red, Henry Barnes, H. J. Jones, S.
T. Wright, Maynell and Lady Roberts.

Any other colors, Donald McLeod,

Bessie Godfrey, Mary Inglis, John Fra-
ser, Harrison Dick, W. R. Church and
Ethel Fitzroy.

Novelties, are purposely omitted from
this list because they have been men-
tioned a good deal already, from time to
time, in these notes, and so long as they
are not in general cultivation comparison
is hardly fair.

The white section is distinguished
chiefly by the fact that Merza seems to
get larger every year. The flowers
shown have been marvels of size, com-
bined with perfect finish and any new
white that has to run the gauntlet of
comparison with Merza suffers very con-
siderably. Nellie Pockett, Eaton and
Camot are known to everyone and need
no comment. Ben Wells as a loose type
of Japanese is a grand exhibition flower

the first named being probably the lar-
gest variety in cultivation today. For a
refined, beautiful flower Cheltoni will win
but it is a little too early in flowering
to keep fbr any later show than the first
week in November. Novelties in the
yellows are Mrs. W. Duckham, Mers-
tham Yellow and Alliance.

In pinks, Lucy Evans and Lady Hope-
toun are perhaps the least known of the
kinds mentioned; they are both very
good, replexed in shape and clear col-
ors. Duckham, as is natural for a va-
riety so widely disseminated, has come in
for some criticism, but the best growers
are all delighted with it, and the way it
has been exhibited in the east stamps
it as the king in its color. This variety
needs good culture, early planting and a
crown bud. The terminal bud produces
a flower with an eye and a deficiency of
petalage. It was widely mentioned by
disseminators that crown buds should be
taken, yet so many growers drift along
in the old rut, take their buds any time
in September in spite of what they read,
and then write to their' paper to know
why Duckham has not come up to the
good reports they had heard of it. The
pink novelties of the year are Valerie
Greenham and Mrs. H. A. Allen.

In reds, Henry Barnes is the finest

Chrysanthemum Mrs. H. A. Allen.

and so, in fact, is Guy Hamilton, though
its constitution is rather delicate. The
whites are reinforced this year consid-
erably by the addition of Emily Mile-
ham, Mrs. D. V. West and Mile. Jeannie
Nonin.

In the yellows, F. S. Vallis and Thir-
kell were enormous in size everywhere,

colored variety. Lady Roberts is partic-
ularly showy but a poor "doer." May-
nell makes a very large flower, though
apt to turn over and have a crooked
neck. This crooked neck, by the way, did
not develop on the first year's trial. S.
T. Wright should be taken on a late bud
to get the lovely coloring. Crown buds

make a closely incurving flower that has
been exhibited as a bronze in several
places.

In the any other color, W. R. Church
is the best. The only trouble with it is
that the color is hard to classify. Set up
as a crimson it has several times been
turned down by the judges because the
reverse, which generally shows, is a
steely bronze, while set up as a Dronze it
would be killed on color by Harrison
Dick or Donald McLeod. In a class for
six vases thirty-six flowers Church is
most valuable, the unique color making
it very distinct.

Bessie Godfrey has a long neck that
does not improve its appearance but the
color is useful, and growth good. Mary
Inglis has shown an eye with some grow-
ers but it is the old story of terminal
buds instead of crowms. The man who
tells you that there has been no progress
in mums of late years is the same man
who has not improved his methods and
system of culture during that time. All
buds look alike to him, and "where ig-
norance is bliss ' ' perhaps it 's folly to be
wise. The any other color has some no-
table accessions this year in Mrs. J. A.
Miller, J. H. Doyle, Sensation and sev-
eral good French varieties.

Speaking financially, the exhibitions
all over the country were a success and
in point of attendance, except in isolated

it on the men who have kept everlasting-
ly at it trying to make a flower show a
success on its merits alone. It does seem
that at last the great American public is
beginning to appreciate the fact that a
flower show is worth a good deal to a
community that makes any pretentions
to culture and refinement.

Next week we will review the commer-
cial side of the mum as far as our own
experience goes in that direction.

LATE VARIETIES.

I would like to ask for a list of chrys-
anthemums that are best for Thanksgiv-
ing. Also what varieties, if any, are
good for Christmas. A. S.

Late-flowered chrysanthemums are
more a result of special treatment than
of being naturally late flowering-kinds.
Varieties that will come in naturally
somewhat late are Chadwick, Superba,
Merry Christmas, Mrs. Jerome Jones,
Bonnaffon and Golden Wedding. While
some of these kinds can be held until
Christmas I always think they look poor
enough by Thanksgiving. The old W.
H. Lincoln, if it is still in cultivation,
is a very good late yellow and I have
seen it in fair shape at Christmas.

To get late flowers cuttings should be

cases, the year was a record breaker.
Surely there is great encouragement in
this, and, though it has taken years of
hard work and effort to accomplish this
end, it reflects the highest possible cred-

rooted late, June or July being early
enough, and then encourage the plante
to grow as long as possible before setting
their buds. Keep the flowers as cool
as possible without actual frost and af-

ter developing they will keep in, good
condition on the plants for several
weeks. Brian Boru.

LEAF-SPOT.

I am sending you specimens of the
foliage of some pot-grown chrysanthe-
mums and would like to know what the
trouble with it is. C. J.

The disease is a leaf -spot; septoria,
I believe, is the scientiflc term for it.
There are several forms of it, but they
all arise from some well defined
cause, the most common being an excess
of moisture with not enough air through
the plants. Chrysanthemums in the fall
are ' hardly ever entirely free from leaf
disease, owing to the *dense growth they
make, which prevents the sun and air
from penetrating the soil and drying it
out, but if spraying with Bordeaux mix-
ture or potassium sulphide, copperdine
or any other of the f ungrus-destroyers,
is faithfully performed in the early
stages of growth, the leaf diseases will
not do much damage to the crop.

LEAF-SPOT OUTDOORS.

In our chrysanthemum bed of earlies
outdoors leaf -spot appeared slightly last
year and in a worse form this fall. Be-
cause of the extended rainfaU last spring
the mums were not so strong and heal-
thy as in other years. Late in Septem-
ber we put up our duck cover sind nailed
it tight overhead. In a week we drew
the nails and rolled it back for leaf-
spot was creating havoc beneath it. Is
there any way of treating the soil of
this bed to prevent leaf -spot next yeart
It is necessary to use this place for
mums, especially from August on.

A. C. Z.

We would first of all get rid of all
stock that showed any signs of the leaf
rot during the past, season, cleaning
away every bit of decayed foUage. The
soil should be loosened up and exposed
to the winter, and if possible some en-
tirely different crop should be raised
there during the early summer. Assum-
ing that this can be done, we would sug-
gest potatoes or some crop that would
leave the ground in perfectly clean con-
dition. If this is not feasible, the
ground should be worked over thoroughly
several times, so that there is nothing
left for the disease^to cxist-tmr

Then let new, clean, healthy stock
be secured in the spring and grown in
another location until the first of Aug-
ust, when they can easily be transplanted
to where they are to bloom. This can
be done very successfully on a cloudy
day, or late in the afternoon, providing
that they are well watered. We would
then give frequent sprayings of weak

Bordeaux mixture, even before there
was any sign of the spot, as an ounce
of prevention is worth many pounds
of cure in this case. E. A. Vincent.

ARAUCARIAS.

Kindly inform me how to root arau-
carias that were raised from seed. They
are now about eight inches high, and I
should like to root them, by your direc-
tion. G. W. F.

It is taken for granted that the seed-
ling araucarias in question have formed
at least one tier of branchlets, and the
cuttings may be taken off below that tier
of branchlets, using a sharp knife and
cutting the stems about two inches below
the branches. Do not attempt to remove
the leaves from the stem of the cutting,
as such action would result in more in-
jury than benefit on account of excessive
bleeding.

Plant the cuttings singly in 2% -inch
rose pots, in either pure bar sand or in
cocoa fibre. The large European growers
more frequently use sand alone for this
purpose, the sand being pressed down
very firmly in the pots and the cuttings
well watered in after planting.

The cutting pots should then be
plunged in sand in a propagating frame,
but the frame should not be placed in a
very warm house, nor given strong bot-
tom heat. About the same temperature
as that given to carnation cuttings will
answer for the araucaria cuttings. They
. must not be allowed to get dry. Keep
the frame rather close and well shaded
during the day, and sprinkle the cuttings
lightly with a syringe on nearly every
bright, dry day, but give air to the
frame every night, the object being to
keep the cuttings fresh and healthy dur-
ing the slow process of callusing.

The operation of rooting araucarias is
one that usually occupies from three to
four months, and cannot be specially hur-
ried by extra heat, the deliberation of
the process having rendered it unpopular

with the majority of American growers.
The cuttings should be potted off as soon
as the roots show through the sand, and
will require careful handling at that
time as the roots are very brittle.

W. H. Tapun.

WEAKENED GROWTH.

Can Mr. Baur tell us what is the mat-
ter with our carnations? The enclosed
tips speak for themselves. The plants are
planted in a solid bed and have been
throwing off a good crop of blooms, but
now we see that some of the young
growths are covered with brown spots
and streaks. The plants have been kept
on the dry side and 50 to 52 degrees at
night. We noticed the trouble about
four weeks ago. Since then we have
given them a top dressing of bone,

The variety is Queen Louise. We have
Joost planted alongside of it and see
nothing the matter with it and gave it
the same treatment. We would like very
much to have Mr. Baur's opinion of it.

A. B. C.

Your plants are suffering from what
might be termed a sour stomach. This

might be brought about by a number of
causes. The most common cause is over-
watering at a time when the plants are not
in proper shape to stand it: Too soon
after planting, or right after a heavy
crop has been taken off and the plants
have not started into a vigorous growth,
or during a rainy spell. Overfeeding
will also bring it on and I am inclined
to think that in your case the top dress-
ing you gave them was responsible for
most of it. At the Carnation Society's
convention at Baltimore, Prof. Woods
read a paper on carnation diseases and
he stated that he has found that the
cause of this diseased condition is punc-
tures by insects, usually aphis or thrips.
I have no doubt that in many cases you
wiinfinH" tETs^traB. Theji puncturo the
leaves and suck the vitality from the
plants, so that they are ungble to take
up as much nourishment as the soil con-
tains, causing the plant to sicken and
show it in this way. I am not prepared
to say whether they are always responsi-
ble for the trouble or not. These in-
sects are so small that often they are

present without the grower being aware
of it. At any rate it proves a breaking
down of the plant and stimulants in-
variably make it worse.

The fact that other varieties planted
alongside do not show the same disease
does not signify anything except that
the one is a heavier feeder or a hardier
grower than the other. You will find
that some varieties will invariably show
traces of this trouble during midwinter,
but as soon as warm weather comes on
all signs of the trouble disappear. Queen
Louise, Flora Hill and Innocence are
fair examples. It shows that these vari-
eties like warm, bright weather; the
darker the winter, the worse the trouble.
They will show this trouble less in a
temperature of 54 degrees than they
will at 50 degreefi. Run them a little
on the dry side and keep the stimulant
away from them. A little air-fclaked
lime dusted on the soil will help them
some.

When propagating avoid the diseased
plants as much as you can, as the cut-
tings are sure to be weak. You will
find, though, that the young plants of
these varieties will almost always show
some traces of it until warm, bright
weather comes and strong growth com-
mences. Selection of cuttings will not
prevent it the next winter unless the prop-
er-culture is given. A. F. J. Baur.

MIXED CARNATIONS.

The raisers of seedling carnations in
quantity a few years ago found it a very
great loss of revenue to give space to so
many varieties as they desired and in
such small quantity that they had no

regular cut of any one color, but those
who have persisted in the work and who
retail their own product have found it
possible to build up a trade on these
mixed varieties which makes the cut from
the seedling house as profitable, or near-
ly so, as the cut from any other house on
the place. Fred Dorner. Jr., says that
they have so educated their trade that
they now have a sale for as many dozens
of mixed carnations as they have for
solid colors. They also find it worth
while to grow a moderate quantity of
odd sorts, such as purple with white
variegation and other novelties, which
work in nicely among these mixed dozens
and are also very useful in boxes of the
solid colors. In the latter case they of-
ten put in a couple of blooms of the o:M
sorts with a dozen of the standard col-
ors. This, of course, is only done when
the colors harmonize, and serves to at-
tract the purchaser's attention to the
oddity and he at once notices that be has
received something additional to the flow-
ers paid for. Anything which goes to
impress the purchaser with a pleasing
sense of novelty serves to keep that par-
ticular florist in the customer's mind.

DISCARDING LAWSON.

I read a note in last week 's Review

which stated that one of the best known

growers would discard Lawson aft.'e-r

many firms have houses of Lawson that
eclipse any Nelson Fisher I have ever
seen, and the records of the flower shows
this fall tell the story regarding the
quality of ; the blooms. Lawson certainly
took care (of itself by winning prizes in
the classes for dark pink against all
comers. At the World's Fair flower
show, in the class for 100 dark pink,
Lawson won first and isecond. In the
class for best fifty dark pink Lawson
won first. At the Chicago flower show
Lawson won first prize in its class and
won second prize in the great sweep-
stakes, beating everything in carnations
at the show except Fiancee. After a
round of the flower shows this fall Mrs.
Thos. W. Lawson has seated itself more
£;ecurely on the throne as queen of the
dark pink carnations. Easy to root, easy
to grow and very prolific, when a new
pink is put on the market the first ques-
tion that is asked about it is: "Is it
as good as the Lawson?" If it is as
good the originator will have plain sail-
ing, and if it is better he will be un-
able to fill his orders, as the florists
will be glad indeed when some one gets
out a new pink that will beat Lawson.

An Observer.

SPORTS OF ENCHANTRESS.

Enchantress is showing many inter-
esting fports, word of them coming from

W. K. Partridge.

this year. I have seen Nelson Fisher,
Lawson 's newest competitor, growing at
several different places. The finest I
ever saw were at the Thompson I'arna-
tion Co. 's place, at Joliet, 111. Still

various and widely separated parts of
the country. Probably the most valu-
able heretofore reported is the white
sport which has appeared at at least two
places. W. A. Harkett, of Dubuque, la.,

has a Scott pink sport of Enchantress,
which, if it proves to have the attributes
of the original, will prove a variety of
exceptional value. The color speaks for
itself. Mr. Harkett also has a blotched
and striped sport of Eiichantress, but
the markings are not pronounced enough
to give it value to the general grower.
Mr. Harkett also has two sports of Law-
son, light pink and Scott pink, which he
is testing.

AMERICAN CARNATION SOCIETY.

W. B. Arnold, of The Eockland Green-
houses, Eockland, Mass., registers Varie-
gated Lawson, a variegated sport from
Lawson, snow white, marked with car-
mine, said marking being very distinct,
without clouding or Blending. Habit
identical with Lawson and needs no de-
scription,

. The American Carnation Society will
issue a supplement to the regular pre-
mium list and this will go to press De-
cember 20. In it will l« given the en-
try blank for the exhibition at Chicago,
January 25 and 26, and the full list of
premiums offered. Anyone desiring to
offer a special premium for this exhibi-
tion will please forward particulars of
the same at once to Albert M. Herr, Lan-
caster, Pa. Parties who are not members
of the society can have this premium list
mailed them on application to the same
address. Albert M. Herr, Sec'y.

THE PARTRIDGE PLACE.

" Bloomhurst, " W. K. Partridge's
greenhouse establishment at Lockland,
0., is well worth a visit at all seasons of
the year. It is most interesting at this
time, however, when carnations and roses
are approaching their best. Although the
roses are invariably of high grade, thdy
are especially fine this season, even the
Liberty, the most capricious of them
all, behaving in a manner that speaks
well for that variety if handled right.
However, it is Mr. Partriage's opinion
that there is ample room for a good red
rose to. take the place of Liberty. Gold
en Gate, as growm here, need not be rele-
gated to a back seat. What it lacks in
foliage it certainly makes up in size of
stem and bloom, as well as in quan-
tity. General MacArthur does not quite
come up to expectations, although it is
improving right along.

In carnations, Nelson Fisher is decid-
edly good and Mrs. Patten is unquestion-
ably the standard of variegated varieties,
being ahead of all its predecessors.
Lady Bountiful is all that has been and
is being claimed for it, though The
Belle is a finer flower. Flamingo and
Crusader are planted side by side and
thus far the latter seems to be in the
lead. Enchantress, as usual, is the
' ' boss ' ' in light pinks and, besides being
a cup winner for Mr. Partridge, it is a
moneymaker as well. Prosperity bids
fair to usher in a prosperous crop for
Christmas, but as a "cut and come
again" variety it is simply not in it.
Glacier is still grown in quantity, having
proved a profitable carnation, although
not in the fancy class. The Cardinal
TS being tested here. "An improved
Estelle, " he remarked, "ought to ap-
peal to every grower, large or small."

Seven seedlings of his own, four
white, one red, one pink and one crim-
son, are being tested the second season.
From all indications one of the white
ones is a winner, the bloom being ex-

ceptionally fine, the stem long and erect
and the habit of the plant good. The
red one is equally promising, its free-
dom being one of its best traits. The
crimson is of the Harlowarden type but
somewhat brighter in color. The
pink is of a pleasing color, nne form,
splendid habit and vigorous growth.

Mr. Partridge's new store in Cincin-
nati, an account of the opening of which
has appeared in the Review, bids fair
to prove a great success. The attend-
ance at the flower show given at the
opening and the business resulting sur-
passed his most sanguine expectations.
The accompanying illustration shows
part of the decorative effect during the
opening week. X.

HANDLING POINSETTIAS.

On December 10 stop watering and syr-
inging the poinsettias ; this hardens them
and they will get into good shape to cut
any time after December 20. If yo-.i
want them sooner cease your watering
accordingly.

I have tried every imaginable way of
treating the cut bracts and I have ob-
tained the best results, but with a litt'e
trouble. Have a small oil stove at the
end of your greenhouse walk, with bnil
ing water and cut your poinsettia tl;e
desired length. You want to be a liftle
quick about this work as you want to g?
:ibout three or four inches of the stem
in the hot water; hold them in it ab'^ut
ten or fifteen seconds and take tiiom
right out into cold water. I find th '
by cutting just what one can handio,
say six or eight of the lonjr stems, you
can have the ends together* for tho li '
Avater. The idea is not to let the stems
bleed, or as little as possible. Work,
this pro|>erly and your flowers will ro'
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 buv-
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.

Don't take up your plants until Janu-
ary 1, and, whatever you do, don't give
them any water, but have them perfectly
dry. Take them up carefully, see that j'ou
•Ion 't bruise the roots, bunch them close-
ly together and heel them in a bench in
your shed. C. W. Reimers.

AN EXPERIENCE WITH LILIES.

In the, Review of November 17 there
was an article on lilies in answer to a
subscriber. The article intimates that
lilies will not do anything if they are put
into heat before making good roots. As
you often ask for people's experience in
(iiflferent matters,, we would like to tell
you an experience we had with our lilies
last year.

They were .Tapan longiflorums and
through various causes we did not get
them until November 10, at which time
they were potted and put down in shallow
cellar under our barn, where we have al-
ways, been in the habit of keeping our
bulbs.

Along in December, about the middle,
we looked at them to see if they had com-
menced to make roots and we were rather
alirnied to ree that they had made abso-
lutely no sign of either root or top
growth. We wrote to a large grower in
Philadelphia and he told us that it was
hopeless to expect them to do anything
that year.

Now comes the part that we would like
to have some one explain. At the first of
.Tanuary we took them all up and put
them into a house with a temperature of
S.") to GO deerrees at night and in the full
light. At that time they had shown no

sign of life, as we had the bulbs out of
the pots, and yet by the end of March we
had the finest lilies we ever had, stems
twenty-five to thirty inches high, fine
foliage and from four to eleven flowers
from medium-sized bulbs.

Now, we don't claim we have discov-
ered anything new, nor do we expect to
try it again; but as we came very near
throwing the whole lot away, it would be
well for anyone, who is in the same fix
as we were to do what we did. We ran
short before Easter and we went up to
the city to try and get more, but did not
see any finer ones than ours.

A NEW IDEA.

Here is a source of new business which
may not have occurred to others than
the originator. It happened not long
since that Jones & Smith were opening
a pretentious clothing store on Main
street of a good sized town. They called
in a local florist and gave him an order
for a modest quantity of flowers for the
opening. He was a nimble-witted gen-
tleman and obtained from the new firm
the names and addresses of a number of
the firms from whom they had bought
their new stock, also he obtained, from
a copy of the clothing trade journal
which he saw in their store, the names
of a number of other firms whom he
shrewdly suspected might like to sell
goods to Jones & Smith. Returning to
his store he wrote these people something
as follows: "Dear Sirs: It may in-
terest you to know that Jones & Smith
are to have a formal opening of their
handsome new store on November 28. I
Jim writing thinking that you might like
to express your good will through the
medium of a floral offering to be de-
livered on the day of the opening." The
result was that half a dozen firms re-
sponded with orders for very fine floral
pieces.

The same idea might be worked in the
opposite direction. The florist who is
located in a manufacturing center, for
instance, like Kochester in the clothing
trade, might send a letter to a number
of the manufacturers stating that when
it was their desire to show good will to

HANDLING YOUNG STOCK.

In the course of twenty-eight or thirty
days after being put in the sand the
young stock should be showing roots half
an inch or more in length and should be
potted immediately. The sand or other
propagating medium contains no nutri-
tive properties and if the young stock is
allowed to remain in it long enough to
break eyes and form wood, it must nec-
essarily be of a very poor quality. The
roots also will rapidly increase in size
and in a short time become so large that
it will be diflScult to crowd them into a
2-inch pot; consequently many of them
will be broken off, to the great loss of
the plant.

Soil suitable for first potting should
contain little manure or other fertilizer
and, in order to make it suitable, it
should be passed through a half-inch
screen. The roots of the plant should be
placed about one-third of the depth of
the pot from the rim and the soil packed
uniformly firm, leaving about one-fourth
of an inch for water space at the sur-
face. First watering should be performed
very carefully. The soil must be thor-
oughly moistened clear through and, as
this cannot be done with one watering
without making the soil muddy, a con-
dition which should always be avoided,
it is advisable to go over the newly
potted stock gently and repeat at inter-
vals until the whole mass is moistened.

In selecting a bench whereon to place
the young stock, due care should be
taken to give them a nice, airy position,
fully exposed to the sun's rays. It is
folly to expect young stock to thrive in
benches which are under shade the
best part of the day, or in comers where
even old stock refuses to do well, and yet ^
in far too many places we find just such
spots appropriated for young stock.

The bottom of the bench will require
some sort of material spread on it in
order to steady the small pots. No better
material can be found than screened coal
ashes spread to the depth of an inch. So
long as this material is kept fresh there
is little fear of poor drainage. Care,

however, must be taken not to plunge the
pots even the least little bit, as this is
decidedly detrimental to roses at any
stage. I emphasize this part of the
subject because during the past year I
have had to answer several questions
where this practice was the whole cause
of the trouble.

The temperature to which these young
plants should be exposed should not ex-
ceed 56 degrees at night or range much
higher than 70 degrees during the day
and they should have plenty of ventila-
tion.

Shading should be practiced only for

SOIL FOR ROSES.

I am sending a sample of the soil in
which I planted some fine healthy roses
last June. They have not turned out
nearly as well as I have had them in
other years. The plants are now two to
three feet high and free from mildew,
of which I had only a little this fall. I
have kept a steady temperature of 58 to
60 degrees fvery night. The plants are
now making new growth but not very
strong. With the treatment I have given
them they ought to be better. I think
it is in the soil and would like to have
your opinion. What chemicals could be
applied to improve it? Would stirring
the soil once a week be beneficial? I have
stirred it once a month. C. L.

The surmise is correct; it is the soil
that is at fault. There is little in the
soil itself to support a rose and this class
of soil is a poor medium with which to
incorporate the essential elements. It is
rather late in the season to stir the sur-
face of the soil without causing injury
to the roots.

posed cow manure and one part the top

CATTLEYA BOWRINGEANA.

One of the best of the autumn flower-
ing cattleyas is C. Bowringeana. It
comes in season just before C. labiata,
covering what would otherwise be a rath-
er dull season. This variety was first
introduced from Central America in
1886. We find it succeeds well in the
warmest end of the cattleya house, grown
in pots or pans. For compost we use
good osmunda fern fibre and have not
found anything superior. C. Bowrin-
geana is a very vigorous flowering va-
riety, 60 requires quite large pots or
pans. It is somewhat allied to the sum-
mer flowering C. Skinneri, which it re-
sembles in color. The flowers are two
and a half to three inches across, usual-
ly of a rich, rosy purple color, the front
of the lip being deeper purple, with a
transverse maroon band. In the variety
lilacina the flowers are of a bluish color.
Usually the racemes carry from ten to
twenty-five flowers, occasionally as many
as thirty to thirty-two. The illustration
shows a raceme of forty-seven flowers,
one of my plants produced the past sea-
son. The plant carried six large racemes
and one or two small ones and was grown
in a 15-inch pan. None of the other
racemes carried over twenty-six flowers
each.

As this orchid is now fairly plentiful
and inexpensive, and comes in flower at
a period when orchid blooms are rather
scarce, it should be especially useful for
florists who need choice flowers.

POLLINATING CUCUMBERS.

Some time ago I received this inquiry
from a correspondent, "What is meant
by pollination!" I had assumed that
growers would know what the term
meant but in this case, and no uoubt in
others, I was taking too much for
granted. For the benefit of any who may
not know I will try to explain what the
word means, and would also like to im-
press on them the necessity of pollina-
tion to insure a free set of such subjects
as tomatoes and cucumbers.

Pollination is the act of transferring
the pollen (a yellow, floury substance)
from the stamens to the pistil of the
flower, where it must be, placed before
fertilization — or what is commonly called
setting of the fruit — takes place. In
cucumbers, melons and plants of this

class the stamenate (male) and pistilate
(female) flowers are quite distinct,
though both are produced on the same
plant. The female flowers of this class
are easily discernible by having the min-
iature fruit, or ffeed vessel, immediately
behind the flower. The flowers being
distinct, they are not self-jpollinating,
but require the assistance of some out-
side agency to transfer the pollen from
the one flower to the other. The natural
agencies, when the plants are grown out-
doors under natural conditions, are wind
and insects, but under greenhouse treat-

ment, in winter especially, neither of
these agencies can accomplish the distri-
bution of the pollen; hence the necessity
of transferring it by hand from the
stamen to the pistil.

Pollination is not always necessary
for a crop of cucumbers, as in the case
of what is known as the English frame
varieties, which will swell and attain
their full size without being fertilized,
but of course will produce no seed. In
England preference is often given to
unfertilized cucumbers on account of the
absence of the seeds. This class of cu-
cumbers, however, has never become pop-
ular in America, our White Spine variety
being generally preferred. For this fer-
tilization is necessary before tne fruit
will swell. Cucumbers are one of the best
adapted subjects for hand pollination.
By simply stripping off or turning back
the petals so as to bare the stamens the
pollen may be applied direct to the pistil
of the other flower, where it is held by a
sticky substance with, which it is provid-
ed. Bright days should, if possible, be
chosen for pollinating, as on such days
the pollen is not only drier and easier
transferred but the stigma of the female
flower is in better condition to receive
it. W. S. Croydon.

The Market.

Beceipts have been gradually on the
increase during the past week, but there
is still a good market for first-class ma-
terial. Beauties are now the principal
shortage and it is frequently impossible
to fill orders for these. The long-stemmed
stock goes farther than the medium
and short lengths. It is possible to meet
almost all requirements for good Bride,
Bridesmaid, Chatenay and liberty, but
there is no surplus of the better grades
and prices have held stiff and now are
advancing. A good part of the cut is
now placed in the best grade, but the
demand for short stuff is dependent on
the call for funeral flowers and these pull
down the average considerably. The
shortage of carnations has eased up, al-
though the growers are still bringing in
very light cuts and late orders are not
always filled. Some days prices are much
easier than they were a week ago, but
they soon stiffen up again. There are large
supplies of Romans, Paper Whites and
valley, and these are making low prices.
The New York violets are doing fairly
well and singles clean up, but the receipts
of Lady Campbell are frequently a prob-
lem for the wholesalers. Much of this
stock is weU sold if disposed of at any
figure. There continue to be abundant
supplies of "green goods," but prices
on smilax are being marked up. The
market is full of red berries.

"Subject to Change.**

The wholesalers have been busy the
past several days explaining to ont-of-
town buyers that "subject to change
without notice" on the price MMa
means just what it says. Of course they
all try to bill stock at quoted prices if
at all possible, but the lists are never
anything more than the wholesaler's best
judgment of what prices will be, and once
in a while the wholesaler's judgment is
off, away off occasionally. One of these
times was Thanksgiving, when practically
every house in town quoted carnations
of ordinary grade too low and had to
bill them out at prices quoted for fan-

cies, for it is supply and demand at date
of sale wliicli really regulate prices. To
make matters worse, the same mistake
waa made the week after Thanksgiving,
for no one foresaw that prices then
would be above those for the holiday. Of
course the market became easier after a
few days, but it made the wholesalers
lots of trouble while the great scarcity
lasted. Probably this week it is the
growers who are kicking, for the univer-
sal shortage led them to expect more
than the stock really averaged.

Christmas Prospects.

What Christmas will see in the way
of supply and prices depends wholly on
the weather. There is plenty of stock
in sight on the plants, particularly roses,
if we have mild temperatures and sim,
but weather like that of last week holds
growth almost at a standstill.. Even un-
der the most favorable conditions Liber-
ty roses and red carnations will be far
short of the demand. Beauties are also
likely to be very scarce, short and medium
lengths particularly so. White is never
in heavy demand at Christmas and, what-
ever growers may be tempted to do, they
are advised to send in their white stock
as fast as ready. There will be a good
market right along now.

The Florists* Club,

There was a special meeting of the
Florists' Club Tuesday evening at the
ofl5ce of the Benthey-Coatsworth Co., for
the purpose of taking immediate action
to participate in the appropriation shortly
to be made by the state legislature for
experimental work at the experiment sta-
tion at the State Agricultural College.
Prof. A. S. Beal was present and told
what is being done for other branches of
horticulture, etc., and how it is financed.
He said that the station authorities would
like to put up a range of about five
greenhouses and devote them to work in
the interest of the florists. He told how
to go to work to secure the necessary ap-

propriation from the state. This is a
matter which has been up before and
which has the approval of every man in
the trade. A committee was appointed to
draft a resolution expressive of the club 's
position and to set an active campaign in
motion.

The Florists' Club skipped the regular
November meetings because of so much
flower show activity but will meet tonight,
at Handel Hall.

Various Notes.

Some of the special stock made very
good prices the past week. The Ben-
they-Coatsworth Co. has been getting 15
cents for special Maids and one customer
offered 18 cents on condition that he
could have all that were received on a
certain day. He got them. Peter Rein-
berg has had Liberty that brought $2 a
dozen. Weiland & Risch have also been
getting big prices for special Maids
this week.

Poehlmann Bros Co. are looking for-
ward to the Christmas business being the
best in the history of the concern. The
blue ribbons will have no small part in
making it so.

C. R. Hills and G. F. Crabb, of Grand
Rapids, were in town last week to trans-
fer Crabb & Hunter's lease at the Grow-
ers' Market to the Grand Rapids Flor-
ists' Association. This was organized
by nine firms, who have since been add-
ed to, who will do their selling as one.
Mrs. Jamison, who sold Crabb & Hunter 's
cut is in charge.

K E. Pieser says that he disagrees
with those who do not count 1904 a good
year for the florists. He believes that
the trade at large was never «e prosper-
ous as during the year just drawing to a
close and that the business in the Chica-
go market, in the aggregate, is ahead of
th^' best previous year.

Phil Hauswirth's name among the Red
Men is now Grandpa Two Times; his
daughter has a lusty baby boy born last

Mrs. Simonds, wife of D. F. Si-
monds, of the Ogden Floral Co., passed
away Tuesday morning. She had one
son, Harry Simonds, who is employed
by Percy Jones, in the Growers' Market,
and the Market people sent a great
standing wreath to the funeral, as a par-
tial expression of their sympathy.

Gustavus Adolphson, an employe of

Albert Kroeschell, the senior of the
four brothers who comprise the com-
pany making the well known greenhouse
boiler, died Thanksgiving day. The
many friends of the firm extend sym-
pathy.

H. N. Bruns lost a baby boy last week

The Market.

Only fair business can be reported
since Thanksgiving, but the cold weather
and approaching holidays should stimu-
late the retail trade greatly the next
few weeks. The supply of stock at the
commission houses has improved greatly
and there is plenty of first class mate-
rial to fill any size order without much
trouble. The weather has been some-
what cold and cloudy since the closing
of the World 's Fair. On that day, Fran-
cis day, a number of large orders were
filled. President Francis received a large
number of great bunches of American
Beauties from friends in the different
departments. Every comer of his office
was filled with flowers. This marked
the closing of the great Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition, which did a great deal
of good for all the local florists.

Holly and ground pine wreathing
have made their appearance. A great
many store fronts are putting on a holi-
day attire this early. Many orders are
in for wreathing and holly and a heavy
demand for both is expected from now
on. Our wholesalers report a heavy de-
mand for paper bells this year.

On looking over the stock at the whole-
sale markets Monday morning, I find a
fine supply of Bride, Maid, Perle, Meteor,
Liberty, Camot and Gate, which have
come down in price a little since Thanks-
giving. Beauties in the long fancy
grades are not over-plentiful. Mediums
and shorts are rather plentiful and de-
mand good. Carnations are extra fine
and have a heavy demand in all grades.
Enchantress, Lawson and Wolcott have
first call, with Nelson, Joost and White
Cloud next. The whites have been in big
demand the past week, with a good deal
of colored stock left over after morning
«ales. Romans, Paper Whites and val-

ley are moving saltisfactorily, with plen-
ty for the demand. Violets are also sell-
ing well, Califomias much better than
doubles. Prices on these are a great
deal lower than last week. A few good
sweet peas are in the market at $1 per
hundred, but hardly enough to create a
demand. A great deal of smilax was
used up last week. Other greens had
equally as good a demand. Fine adian-
tum and Asparagus plumosus and Spren-
geri are in the market enough for all
demands. :^ >>., ..""« , _.

Variotts Notes.

Charles Kuehn is having a big run on
Christmas supplies from outside the city.
Shipping orders for cut flowers are also
large. The big wire department up-
stairs is busy with designs of all kinds.

Frank Ellis reports some large shipping
orders the past week, both cut flowers
and supplies. His Thanksgiving busi-
ness was above expectations. His con-
signors are supplying some extra fancy
stock these days.

At Henry Berning's a good shipping
trade is reported in all lines. He has
laid in a large stock for the holidays in
supplies. "Billy" Winters and the
Udes stock from Kirkwood are good
sellers at this place.

Frank Fillmore reports trade good
with him, especially in funeral work, with
which they have been very busy of late.
His carnation and rose houses are sup-
plying all the stock used this fall.

Wm. Schray & Sons are al*o having a
big run on funeral work of late and
report good Thanksgiving trade.

Wm. E'dlefson, of Milwaukee, was
down the past week to attend the clos-
ing of the World's Fair.

Fred Ammann, of Edwardsville, 111.,
was a visitor the past week. He reports
stock at his place in fine condition and
home trade good during Thanksgiving.

ELMIRA, N. Y.

The sensation in local business circles
during the past week was the announce-
ment that Wm. Algie, president of the
United States Cut Flower Co., had re-
signed his position. It has been known
for some time that there was friction
among the oflScers of the company, owing
to differences of opinion in matters of
management and policy. Meetings of the
directorate have been frequent of late
and finally culminated in the purchase
by the stockholders of the stock held. by
Mr. Algie and his retirement from con-
trol of this large plant.

W. B. Compton, United States mar-
shal and one of the largest stockholders,
has succeeded to the presidency and Sey-
mour Lowman, city chamberlain, has
been elected to fill the vacancy in the
directorate caused by Mr. Compton 'a ad-
vancement. The business will be con-
ducted with some changes of policy, but
will be upon the same sound financial
basis as heretofore. E.

We are sending a dollar for the renew-
al of our subsaiption to the Review,

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

Conditions have changed since the last
report. The supply of cut flowers has
decreased with the advent of real win-
ter, while the demand has increased, the
social season being well under way. The
city shops are just as busy as they can
be, while from outside cities come heavy
orders. The opening of congress on Mon-
day took great quantities of all kinds of
stock to Washington. To Baltimore went
large shipments of valley. Beauties and
other flne flowers for the first german,
which opens their social season. Prices
have stiffened a little, with indications
that the^y may go higher. Choice stock of
all kinds sells much better than the poorer
grades. Gardenias and cattleyas continue
very scarce. Carnations are improving in
quality and sell well, as does valley.
Greens of all kinds are in demand.

Roslyn.

Edward Towill, whose fine Liberties at-
tracted favorable comment at the Penn-
sylvania Horticultural Society's fall
show, has nine greenhouses near Boslyn.
Five are devoted to Liberties, three to
Beauties and one is a propagating house.
The Liberties are chiefly grown in a
range of Dietsch pattern short even-span,
open between, in which Lord & Burnham
Co. furnished material for three new
houses to be added to one old one. The
fifth house is low, with two beds and one
walk.

The Liberties are full of vigor, throw-
ing up heavy ground canes. They are all
planted in solid beds without drainage.
Two of these beds are filled with young
plants. All the others are two-year-old
stock transplanted last summer. All show
remarkable vigor. The improvement in
Liberty growing has been very rapid. A
few years ago ground shoots came in
June with Mr. Asmus; now Mr. Towill
has them in November.

The Beauties look well. They have
been producing heavily. It is planned to
leave them in the solid beds the second
year, this being their first season. The
cut of this place is distributed by Samuel
S. Pennock.

Germantown.

William Berger is one of the pioneer
florists of Germantown. He started in a
small way when Louis C. Baumann and
Woltemate Bros, were the leading florists
of that suburb. Since then Mr. Berger
has worked steadily on, through good luck
and bad luck, until today he has a nice
range of glass back of his home on Queen
street and a flne store and show in the
center of the shopping district, where his
son carries on a large business. It has
taken lots of pluck and hard work to ac-
complish these results. For a long time
the greenhouses did not pay enough and
jobbing gardening was an important fea-
ture of the work. When the store was
started, in a very small way, the odds and
ends needed were at first a serious draw-
back. Gradually these obstacles were
overcome and now the greenhouses and
store support about a dozen men.

Mr. Berger has two houses of carna-
tions, both in excellent shape. One is
filled with Mrs. Lawson, the other with
Enchantress and a few Boston Market.
The Enchantress are all bearing freely.
One lot, the finest, was planted in the
bench in .Tune and grown indoors all
summer. The next was planted from 4-

Decembeb 8, 1904.

inch pots after the asters were over, while
the third lot was field-grown.

There are a great many poinsettias in
6-inch pots from soft wood cuttings, the
height varying with the age. Gardenias
in 6-inch pots were wonderfully full of
buds. Sixteen were counted on one plant.
They have been bearing for some time.
Two houses were filled with chrysanthe-
mums, now all over but a few that are
being saved for an order. They embraced
the leading commercial sorts. Their place
is being filled with callas, lilacs, freesia
and other stock. Later there will be lots
of lilies. There is a big palm house full
of interesting things and the nucleus of
an orchid collection.

Mr. Berger has a keen sense of humor :
In describing the improvement in the class
of customers from the tiny store, where
they had to wait on the sidewalk until
the person ahead was through inside, to
the present commodious quarters, he said :
** There was not so much cash business,
but far more with rich people who didn't
want to pay." Let us hope they did in
the end.

Rose Richmond.

E. G. Hill came to this city all the way
from Indiana last Saturday, bringing
with him a handsome bunch of his new
red rose, Richmond. Mr. Hill put his nov-
elty in water in one of Samuel a. Pen-
nock's storage rooms and then repaired
to Horticultural Hall. From that point
of vantage, Secretary Rust kindly tele-
phoned to the rose growers to come to
town and pay their respects. To show
their appreciation of this courtesy and to
prove that Philadelphia is not sleepy, a
goodly number responded. Among the
callers at Mr. Pennock's were W. R.
Smith and the Gude brothers, of Wash-
ington. John Burton and George Samt-
man came in from Wyndmoor, Joseph
Heacock from Wyncote, Robert Craig
from West Philadelphia, Alex B. Scott
from Sharon Hill, A. Farenwald from
Hillside, Ed Towill from Roslyn, and Ste-
phen Mortensen from South Hampton.

Comparing Richmond with Liberty, it
may be said that the new rose is a shade
brighter in color, the flowers more uni-
form in size, though a trifle less double.
The stems are all strong, holding the buds
«rect, a quality not always seen in Liber-
ty. The best blooms were not equal to
the special grade of Liberty for which
Philadelphia is becoming famous. This,
however, may readily be secured after
further cultivation. Mr. Heacock was par-
ticularly enthusiastic about Richmond.

Various Notes.

The Leo Niessen Co. filled some excel-
lent shipping orders for Washington early
this week, nearly all the staple varieties
■of flowers being used. They also report
a good demand for carnations, over 10,000
being sent out one day.

Edward Reid has been receiving good
Marie Louise violets from New York,
which find ready sale,

William J. Baker has been, receiving
"and distributing many choice carnations.
Mrs. M. A. Patten, from William Swayne,
is beautiful.

B. C. Hayden, secretary and treasurer
of the Philadelphia Cut Flower Co., who
bas been ill for two weeks, is happily re-
covering. He was back at his office this
week.

Fred Ehret continues receiving fine
blooms of Dorothy Faust. The fame of
this fine white chrysanthemum is going
abroad.

Mrs. Charles E. Meehan, wife of the
popular manager of the Flower Market,
was badly bruised and shaken in a trolley
accident a few days ago. Fortunately
she was not seriously hurt and it is hoped
will soon be about again.

Matrimony has claimed two of Charles
Fox 's able assistants. His daughter. Miss
Fox, and Miss Corsen have lately been
wedded.

B. Eschner, of M. Rice & Co., is home
again, as busy as one cpuld wish.

Charles F. Edgar, of Berger Bros., re-
ports that they are receiving fine Califor-
nia violets from J. F. Johnson, of Lan-

Phiiip Freud, of H. F. Michell Co.,
states that good holly will be scarce, lyco-
podium about equal to the demand. This
house does a large business in the above
greens and in laurel wreathing.

John F. Andre, of Doylestown, is send-
ing extra fine Bridesmaids to Fred Ehret.

BOSTON.

The Market.

Since Thanksgiving we have had a very
good market; prices are weii maintained
and in some cases slightly higher. Stock
continues to clear out well, nothing but
a little inferior material having to be
carried over in the ice chests. 'Ihe best
grades of Brides and Bridesmaids are
higher, making up to $12.50 per hun-
dred. Some nice Liberties are coming
in. This pqpular rose always sells quick-
ly, the best making $15 to $20. New-
tonville Greenhouses continue to send fine
Bon Silene and Safrano to the Park
street market. These sell at $4 per
hundred, and the growers note an increas-
ing demand for these old favorites.

Carnations are now of first-class qual-
ity, whites selling lower than the colored
varieties. Some extra fine Enchantress,
Fair Maid, Wolcott, Queen, Mrs. Patten,

Flamingo, Harry Fenn and Boston Mar*
ket are coming in. From $3 to $4 pe»
hundred is the ruling price for fancy
stock. Violets are rather scarce and in
brisk demand. Singles make from $1
to $1.50, while Campbells average 75
cents. Chrysanthemums are nearing the
end. The best bring $12 per hundred.
A few lots of poinsettias are coming in
and sell well. Prices on other commod-
ities remain about the same.

Horticultural Society.

Quite a number of changes will ajK
pear in the prize schedule of the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society for 1905.
The committees in charge of the sama
hope to have it printed about January 1.
A few of the more important change*
are appended:

At the show on February 11, a class is
allotted for six pots or pans of Begonia
Gloire de Lorraine, seven classes are giv-
en to carnations and two to violets. The
orchid class is stricken out. The show of
March 23 to 26, when the American Rosa
Society meets with the Boston society,
has a substantial increase in prizes. Tha
classes for groups of decorative roses,
Easter plants other than bulbous plant*
and spring flowering bulbs are espe-
cially attractive. For the May and rho-
dodendron shows few changes are mad&
Two additional classes are added for
peonies on June 10. Sweet pea day
comes July 8 and pentstemons on July
22. August 5 is perennial phlox day,
August 12 annual day, August 19 glad-
iolus day and the following week China
asters will be displayed.

No important alterations aije made for
the September show, but at the chrysan-
themum exhibition a new class calls for
twelve bush plants not disbudded and_ an-
other for six plants in not over 7-ineh
pots carrying six flowers each. Thesa
are added on account of the increasing
favor in which smaller flowers are hel£
Seven carnation classes are also added ta
this show.

The garden committee will offer prizes
for the best herbaceous garden and tha
best peony garden. To encourage own^
ers of small estates, prizes are offered
for estates not exceeding three acres, tha
money being generously contributed by a
prominent patron of horticulture. Clase-
es are also added for vegetable gar-
dens, lettuce and cucumber houses.

President Estabrook has signalized hia
election to office by encouraging hia
friends to join the Massachusetts Hor-
ticultural Society. He presented no leaa
than eighteen applications on December
3, with more to follow. Nearly all Bra
life members.

Various Notes.

The many friends of J. T. Butterwortk
were pained to learn of his critical ill-
ness last week. Mr. Butterworth under-
went a very serious operation at the
Framingham hospital on November 29.
Peritonitis set in on December 2 and hia
condition causes grave anxiety. That ha
may pull through is the fervent wish of
his numerous friends.

R. C. Pye, of Nyack, N. Y., was ia
town last week, accompanied by E. Jen-
Kins, of Lenox. Mr. Pye brought with
him blooms of Mr. Dolby's new seedling
carnation. Senator Crane, which recently
attracted much favorable notic-e at tha
Boston show. He has purchased tha
whole stock and has undoubtedly secured
a good thing.

J. W. Foote is sending in some su-
perb Fair Maid carnations to the new
market. A. Roper's new striped seedling,
Chester Roper, shows up well at the
same stand. Donald Carmichael, of
Wellesley, is sending in extra good En-
chantress, Fair Maid and Queen.

Norris F. Comley is trying Dutch
bulbs as a side issue this year and has
45,000 tulips coming along, from which
he hopes to reap substantial returns la-
ter.

Alexander Montgomery was in New
York the past week in the interests of
the American Rose Society. He reports
conBiderable enthusiasm in that city for
the show next March and says tnat ev-
erything points to a first-class show. W.
J. Stewart, of this city, has been ap-
pointed to succeed Leonard Barron, re-
signed, as secretary of the American
Rose Society.

Houghton & Clark had some extra fine
cattleyas and poinsettias in one of their
windows at their Boylston street store
the past week.

W. E.. Doyle, at his Back Bay and
Beacon street stores, is showing some
splendid Killamey , roses, a variety which
Beams W be increasing in popularity.
White camellias and Daphne Indica odor-
ata were features in one window.

The North Shore Horticultural Society
has elected the following officers for
1905: President, P. R. Santwm; vice-
president, W. B. Jackson ; ' secretary,
James Salter; financial secretary, James
McGregor; librarian, Henry Clark. This
society is in a flourishing condition.

At the Harvard Botanic Gardens, Rob-
ert Cameron has a beautiful lot of Bego-
nia Gloire de Lorraine. The primulas
and cyclamens promise a grand display
a little later.

— Among the last of the chrysanthe-
mums to be seen at the stores are Minnie
Wanamaker, Maud Dean, still the best
late pink in commerce; Chadwick and
the old Cullingfordii. One or two grow-
ers have batches of Yanoma and Merry
Christmas which they will hold for
Christmas.

The Gardeners* and Florists' Clubs'
next meeting will be held on December
20. It is possible that the members may
decide to oflfer some gold and other med-
als for roses at the meeting of the Amer-

ican Rose Society in March. Quite a few
of the members favor such action.

Some of our recent visitors tell us that
New York and Chicago had bigger and
better chrysanthemum shows than Bos-
ton. We do not doubt their bigness,
but question their superiority in all-
around quality. Of course, it is but
natural for our bigger sisters to be a
little jealous, but we would remind them
that Boston had sixteen exhioitions last
year, while all the energies of the New
Yorkers produced but two and tnat of
Chicago one show.

Yellow marguerites are very much in
demand at present but rather scarce.
Wax Bros, had quite a hunt for 1,500
the past week.

J. H. Delay had a decoration for
Prince Fushimi on December 3.

J. W. Howard,, of Winter Hill, grew
the early spirseas riiown by Zinn for
Thanksgiving trade and referred to in
our last issue.

William Spillsbury, of Woburn,
brought in 19,000 Princess of Wales vio-
lets on Thanksgiving eve, 4,000 more
than his nearest competitor.

Mrs. J. W. Rogers runs the Summer
street store referred to in our last and
does all her own buying.

A few Lilium Harrisi are now coming
into the market.

At the dinner tendered to Prince Fu-
shimi at the Algonquin Club on Decem-
ber 2, Galvin used white chrysanthemums
chiefly in the decorations. At a dinner
given by the prince himself on December
4 poinsettias were the only flowers used.

A number of charity fairs in which
society people are prominent at the Ven-
dome, Copley Hall and Thomdike, have
used a good many flowers and plants dur-
ing the past few days. First-class carna-
tions brought as high priees as Bride
and Bridesmaid roses at these functions.

F. W. Fletcher, of Aubumdale, finds
schizanthus very useful in his retail work
and is growing several varieties of it,
both in benches and pots. He finds it
has wonderful lasting properties in water
and is excellent in design work.

NEV YORK.

Fall City, Neb. — Simonton & Pence

ery store and started a flower store.

Various Jottings of Interest.

A store to be called the Flower Mar-
ket will open this week on West Forty-
fourth street, between Fifth and Sixth
avenues. It is a big store, with mirror
effects and marble counters and is
claimed to be a departure from present
methods. Jos. Fleischman is at the
head of it. Just what may be its ob-
ject beyond selling cut flowers and get-
ting the usual prices for them is hard
to understand. It is stated that the
company has associated with it nine
prominent retailers and twenty-five
growers. Looks like a combination of
growers, retailers and wholesalers and
the foretaste of the millennium! Near
it are the old established shops of Mc-
Connell, Thorley, Siebrecht, Thog,
Young, Jr., Wadley & Smythe and
Dards.

Christmas is in the air. Down on
West street the aroma of the north
woods is already dominant. In the re-
tailers' windows more than anywhere
else appear the signs of the times. Al-
ready in one's imagination can be heard
the Christmas bells, and their counter-
part in many a size and style add to the
interest of the decorations. Flowering
plants, poinsettias, acacias, azaleas, ericas,
begonias and orchids are already arriv-
ing and there will be no. diminution of
decorative floral art during the three
short weeks that remain.

Thorley 's Fifth avenue store windows
are charming with great baskets and
balls of Gloire de Lorraine begonias.

McConnell's was a mass of yellow
Baby mums, the novelty which he has
handled in great numbers since the fall
flower show. Six large shipments of
hundreds of this little beauty have been
disposed of.

Jos. Leikens is building a conservatory
back of his store on East Thirty-third
street.

Stumpp & Walter Co. will dispose of
1,000 cases of holly this season.

Ralph W, Ward & Co. 's horse shoe
brand of bulbs and plants will have the
advocacy of W. A. Prosser this season,
in addition to the other travelers repre-
senting this progressive firm.

The Clucas & Boddington Co. has ftii
immense quantity of cold storage val-
ley for Christmas flowering and Japan
longiflorum, auratum and speciosum of
special excellence and supply for anj
possible demand.

P. R. Quinlan, of Syracuse, was in
town last week, purchasing goods for the
holiday trade. He reports his new range
of glass completed and large additions
contemplated during 1905. His new and
finely situated headquarters there give
him views and facilities unequalled by
any florist in western New York.

F, J. Baker, of Utica, was in New
York on Friday. He has 60,000 square
feet of glass, to which he is adding
yearly, his ambition being to have an
output of 1,000,000 ferns yearly before

many moons. The sales now easily go
above a quarter of a million.

The Mr. Maser referred to in our is-
sue of November 24 as having been at
one time in the employ of J. V. Phillips,
of Brooklyn, should have been Mr.
Mauer.

Harry Busby, who has worked for
many of the growers on Long Island,
was accidentally killed by his brother's
horse on Saturday, the sharp hoof sev-
ering the jugular vein.

J, A. Peterson, of Cincinnati, is in
the city for a few days with samples
of his specialties, including the new
white begonia, Tumford Hall.

John Harrison, of Jersey City, is now
shipping his entire product to James
McManus, including the White House
carnation, 1,000 a day of this popular
variety reaching him on the average.
Mr. McManus says it compares favora-
bly with any white in the market in
size and keeping quality.

Adiantum Croweanum is now in fine
demand and the price holds at $1.50.
Mr. Eaynor, who controls this specialty
in New York, disposes of large quanti-
ties weekly.

A great day for the New York Flor-
ists' Club will be enjoyed by its mem-
bers on Friday of the present week. C.
W. Ward has provided a special train
for his visitors and an abundance of
good things and the Cottage Gardens
will be "investigated" as never before
in their history. The award committee
will pass upon the merits of Lieutenant
Peary.

The club will hold its regular meeting
and the last one of the year at its rooms
in the Grand Opera House building next
Monday. The president declares it veill
be the banner meeting and Mr. Nugent
will signalize his final official manage-
ment as head of the commissary depart-
ment by special and personal generosi-
ties. The bowlers will meet at the alleys
on West Thirtieth street in the after-
noon.

Bobbink & Atkins, of Rutherforo, make
steady progress. Their immense estab-
lishment is crowded with late importa-
tions, fine forcing lilacs, pot grown deut-
zias and other plants and shrubs in end-
less variety. Acacia paradoxa or armata
for Easter flowering is a plant growing
in popularity yearly for that season. Bay
trees, from $5 to $500 a pair, occupy a
house especially built for them. There is

a fine stock of azaleas in bloom to be
drawn from daily through the winter
months. Palms range from 5 cents to
$150 each and there are H. P., tea and
standard roses in any quantity. No one
should visit New York without spending
a day with Bobbink & Atkins. To those
who have never been there the call will
surely be a revelation.

Bowkn£.

The bowling match between Hoboken
and the New York club on December 1
was a success, not only in attendance
and enthusiasm but in the maintenance
of the unbeaten record of the New York-

ORANGE, N. J.

The monthly meeting of the New Jer-
sey rioricultural Society, held on Decem-
ber 2, was marked by the usual meritor-
ious display of flowers. The annual elec-
tion of officers resulted as follows: Pres-
ident, I). Kindsgrab, gardener for Wil-
liam Runkle; vice-president, Arthur L.
Caparn, gardener for Stuart Hartshorne;
secretary, William Bennett, gardener for
A. C. Van Gaasbeck; treasurer. Malcolm
Mac Rorie, gardener for Mandeville Es-
tate.

PITTSBURG.

The Market

The retailers and markets report busi-
ness as holding its own since Thanksgiv-
ing, but nothing out of the ordinary has
developed. While mums are still slightly
in evidence there are not enough of them
to cut any figure, and carnations are
more in demand and prices on them are
looking up a little. Lilies have dropped
out of sight with the mums. Since mums
have shortened up there is a better de-
mand for other stock, although the sup-
ply of roses is so great that while the
specials and extras bring a fair price,
the commoner grades go begging. The
same might be said of all other stock;
there is enough good to supply the de-
mand and send the seconds to the dump.

A trip among the wholesalers finds
them looking quite cheerful. The Flor-
ists' Exchange and J. B. Murdoch & Co.,
both assure me that business is very
good. The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co.
was busy getting out orders of red bells
and evergreen boxwood, which they say
is greatly in demand. They report trade
as up to the average for this time of
year.

Various Notes.

The unumally dry season is making
great trouble for some of our growers,
as their water supply has gone back on
them and they are compelled to haul
water some distance to keep their places
running.

MossbauF & Dick opened their new store
last Saturday, and, as they gave carna-
tions to all visitors, they were the busi-
est house in town Saturday evening.

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH.

We have had a mild, bright fall, which
brought carnations out freely early in
the season and has the rose crop so offish
that a fear has been expressed that the
crop may hit the holidays a body blow.
Business has lately been good, with plen-
ty of roses and too few carnations.
While white is plentiful, it is color that
is scarce, particularly red.

Wm. Cunningham has just recovered
from a severe attack of appendicitis.

With some growers violets are doing
nicely; with others, although the plants
look fine and are in apparent good health,
yet they are shy in blooming. It is ex-
pected that when the weather gets steady
cold they may bloom better.

The Grand Rapids Florists' Associa-
tion has been organized and has opened
a stand in Chicago, 60 vVabash avenue,
and will do a wholesale business. Crabb
& Hunter have given up their stand and
gone in with the association. Mrs. Jami-
son, who conducted Crabb & Hunter's
stand, will be in charge. The association
has nine members already, with the prom-
ise of several more. The promoters are
Clarence Hills, Eli Cross, Henry Smith
and Alfred Hanna. A meeting was held
at Henry Smith's store last Monday
evening to complete organization and at-
tend to the details of handling the stand
along lines similar to those of a com-
mission store. G. F. C.

Beans are still being received from

of early October is accountable for th^

late threshing, as well as for the unusual

shrinkage owing to spoiled stock. . .

**NO VAEEANTY.'*

In the Wandsworth County Court
(England) on October 26, an action was
brought by Van Til-Hartman, bulb grow-
ers, Hillegom, Holland, to recover the
sum of £26 from K- Drost, nurseryman,
Bichmond, for tulip bulbs supplied.
Mr. Drost raised a counterclaim for £15
for labor, etc., wasted on bulbi that
failed. Counsel for plaintiffs stated
that the bulbs had been supplied Tinder
their "terms of business," as printed
in their catalogue, and which are those
of the Dutch Bulb Exporters' Associa-
tion. These include the following condi-
tions:

Claims as to the qaalltj of the goods cannot
be entertained unleoa made Immediately on re-
ceipt of aame. The members of the association
rlTe no warranty, express or Implied, and will
Dot be in any way responsible for the results
of planting or forcing of any bulbs or roots

Defendant refused payment on the

ground that the bulbs had all failed

through an attack of tulip-mold (Botry-

tis parasitica), the germs of which must

have been present in the bulbs before

they were planted, from the fact that no

tulips had previously been grown in the

soil, and that other tulips planted in

ground near those supplied by plaintiffs

were not diseased. Mr. Watson, curator.

Royal Oardens, Kew, gave evidence in

support of defendant's contention.

His Honor ruled, however, that even if

the bulbs supplied by plaintiffs had been

diseased when received by defendant,

ERFUET SEED CROPS,

The following is supplied by the Er-
furt, Germany, correspondent of the Hor-
ticultural Trade Journal, under date of
November 18:

Nearly all the seed of this year's harreatlnf
Is now In warehouse and the <^peratlon of clean-
Incr and getting It ready for dellrery Is also
well advanced. Oversea orders are beginning
to come In and some early shipments an
already leaving for America, Anstralla, etc.

Certain onions have turned out worse than
expected, Strasbnrg, straw-colored and the red
kinds, for instance, being decidedly shM't. In
carrots, the long garden varieties have yielded
under the expectations, some sorts, such ax
Brunswick (Long Surrey) being scarce, and the
same may be said of some of the half-long va-
rtetles. Leek seed is always late In being
delivered, bat we still expect a good pro-
vision. The large stocks of radish seed will
prevent this season's poor yield from being felt,
but the new Crimson Giant variety is very
short. Beans, as expected, are much nnder
average on the whole. Runners, scarlet, white
and Painted Lady, are all short, while many
of the dwarf sorts have yielded badly alao.

Borecole and parsley have come in beyond ex-
pectations as last reported. Cucumbers also
have Improved since last writing, and prices
will go lower. Mangels of every sort are only
middling, and prices will probably rise a little
all round. Herbs are generally plentiful. French
thyme and savory are short, while sage is only
a moderate crop.

The previous estimates regarding most flower
seeds still hold good. Dianthus, lobelia and
tagetes have, however, done worse than ex-
pected. Mignonettes, on the other hand, have
come oat over estimates and are fairly plentiful.
Verbenas will be In suflJclent quantity to supply
orders, while stocks and double wallflowers are
not coming up to their early promise. Border
carnations have done remarkably well.

As regards asters, I regret to say that now
the seeds are being cleaned the results are
mostly much poorer than was anticipated, and
prices are sure to advance beyond early quota-
tions. This applies with especial force to the
more refined classes, such as Victoria, while
the Comet section Is little better, and even the
common classes will all be short.

Rochester. The 29th annual contention will be
heU at West Baden, Ind., June, 1906.

The call for cherry trees is steadily
on the increase.

8HEEVEP0RT, La. — Downs & Co. are
successors to the Shreveport Nursery and
Orchard Ck). They say that the choice
French roses are now in the lead in the
South.

Stjpt. J. H. Hadkinson, at the
World's Fair is busy digging stock and
packing it for shipment to exhibitors
in his department. He hopes to have
everything out in good season.

J. H. McFarland, of Harrisburg,
Pa., president of the American Civic
AMociation, the other day told the Chica-
go branch of that organization that fruit
trees instead of ornamentals should be
planted along city streets.

The prolonged season has been a fa-
vorable one for the nurserymen. Sales
and deliveries have been good and the
quantity of stock dug and in storage
houses promises a much better spring
business than was done this year.

J. M. Hampton, the florist, Charlotte,
N. C, is reported to have control of the
-stock of a peach which is practically
■everbearing, beginning to ripen in August
and continuing through until cold weath-
er. The report states that Mr. Hampton
lias 50,000 budded for next season.

G«ORGE Ellwanger, of Rochester, cel-
ebrated his eighty-eighth birthday De-
-cember 2 and to make the occasion mem-
orable a number of his friends presented
bim with a handsome silver coffee ser-
vice accompanied by a letter expresave
of the high esteem in which he is held.

The periodical bulletins of the New
England Park Superintendents have be-
come the "Items of Park News," pub-
lished by the Park Department of the
American Civic Association^ G. A. Par-
ker, Hartford, Conn., department vice-
president. It will be made the medium
tor the dissemination of much valuable
information. It will be sent free to
those who ask Mr. Parker to put their
names on his mailing list.

WORLiyS FAIR AWARDS.

For some time there have oeen rumors
of trouble over the awards at the Louis-
iana Purchase Exposition. Here's what's
tbe matter: it is from a letter from Sen-
ator Carter, president of the United
States commission, to D. R. Francis, pres-
ident of the Exposition company:

The commission cannot permit tbe use of Its
name or the name of any of Its officers or mem-
bers In connection with any diploma, certificate,

tbe proceedings rest under adequately supported
and uninvestigated charges of bribery, attempted
brlt>ery, corruption, fraud or misconduct amount-
ing to fraud.

The statement is made that about
1,000 protests have been filed with the
management regarding the work of the
jurors and that the United States com-
mission has in its possession affidavits
showing the solicitation of bribes for in-
fluencing awards. No names have been
made public. The result is that all
awards are hung up.

"Dick" Witterstaetter is at it again,
haTiog a few surprises in store which he
may spring upon the unsuspecting grow-
ers during the Chicago carnation show in
January.

There are seedlings and seedlings,
some scarlet, some white, but mostly
pink. Of the latter he has so many
good ones that it makes one's head dizzy
to try to determine "which is which."

To the casual observer it is a case of
"all coons looking alike," although Dick
knows the merits of each, having select-
ed a few that in his estimation are well
worthy of further test. His white one
which he intends disseminating in 1906
ia a variety that one need but see to
appreciate its commercial value. His
scarlets are equally fine and one in par-
ticular will be given ample room and
special attention. Mr. Witterstaetter
has enlarged his greenhouse plant by
two modern houses, having also made
various other improvements about his
residence and grounds. X.

Washington, Ia. — The Keck Floral
Co., has its new offices nearly completed
and now has a nice display window.
Since the reorganization the officers are:
President, E. C. Keck; vice-president
and treasurer, C. H. Keck; secretary and
manager, F. C. Creath. They propose to
extend the business largely.

Grand Forks, N. D. — E. O. Lovell says
Thanksgiving trade was much better than
last year and trade in general is !n-
creafiing and is a third better this sea-
son. The people through this portion of
the northwest are beginning to appreciate
the beauty and benefit which flowers im-
part, and are much more liberal along
this line.

The Market.

Since Thanksgiving business has been
moving along in a quiet sort of way,
with nothing unusual to turn it one way
or the other. The demand has been only
fair and scarcely up to last year. Prices
on an average, too, are below last year.

The supply of stock is all that can be
desired. Roses are in most cases of fine
quality and in excess of the demand.
Beauties and other red roses are still
short but there are hopes of a good sup-
ply soon. There has been considerable
call for Chatenay lately and many orders
for this rose could not be filled. Some
very fine carnations are to be had but
there are none too many of them. Vio-
lets of good quality are first class prop-
erty. The best bring $1.50. The cheaper
grades do not go so well and some are
hard to move at any price. Mums are
Btill coming but very few large ones are
Been. They are selling fairly well. Other
stock is about equal to the demand.

The wholesale houses are indulging in
the luxury of a cut price war on greens.
Eaatem ferns have been cut down to 15
cents per hundred, $1.50 per thousand.
Galax, both green and bronze, goes at 75
cents peif thousand, and leucothoe sprays
at 50 cents per hundred. At these prices
there is very little more than glory in
handling them.

Variotu Notes.

B. Witterstaetter brought in some of
his seedlings the other day and it would
do some of our carnation specialists good
to see them. Among them was 1021 B,
measuring three and three-fourths inches,
of a beautiful shade of pink. This vari-
ety has already received a certificate.
Valentine is a magnificent light pink
which made its presence felt at the De-
troit exhibition last year. Improved
Lawsou is a beauty of dark pink color.
Lillian May, which will be Mr. Witter-
staetter's next introduction, is a white
that will be worth watching. Afterglow
api>ear8 to be a first-class commercial
variety. The color is between Fiancee
and liwson. The Cardinal was also do-
ing fine.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

Decembkr 8, 1904.

• . . SOUTHERN GREENS. *-n ^ s

The industry of gathering and ship-
ping southern evergreens has become an
important one, for the florists and decor-
ators of the north have found many uses
for this material since a safe and satis-
factory source of supply has been pro-
vided. Literal train loads of wild smi-
lax are shipped north from Alabama ev-
ery winter and there is also a big busi-
ness in sheet moss, palm crowns, needle
pines, palmetto leaves and a number of
other items which come under tne head
of southern evergreens, not including
holly, which is generally from •» source
farther north than the locality which
provides much of the other stock.

George W. Caldwell waa the pioneer
of the southern greens shippers and it is
to him that Evergreen, Ala., must give
credit for making the town known wher-
ever there is a florist. He found it slow
work at first, but when he succeeded in
getting a few of the leading decorators
in the large cities to make a trial of
wild smilax in some of their good work,
from that day the business began to in-
crease at a wonderful rate. Wild smi-
lax is the principal commodity shipped
from Evergreen, Ala., and the amount
of it which is annually used has resulted
in a large number of gatherers starting
in the business in competition with the
pioneer, but he welcomes them all and
says there is business for every one who
wUl put up a first-class article and dem-
onstrate that he is to be entrusted with
orders for goods which must arrive on
time or be valueless, as well as a cause
of untold disappointment. Mr. Caldwell
had an interesting article of the de-
velopment of the industry in the Decem-
ber issue of Country Life.

KALAMAZOO. MICH.

Trade has been most gratifying with
everybody. Prices are about the same
as last year but there was a marked in-
crease of local trade. Wholesale ship-
pers state that prices do not come up
quite to last year's quotations.

At Grofvert & De Smith's everything
is in good shape and a heavy cut for
Christmas is in sight. At the Dnnkley
■pioral Co. I noticed a nice lot of poin-
settias and everything looks well. The
Central Michigan Nurseries, with Mr.
Smith as foreman, make a fine showing.
Their carnations are very good. They
have two new carnation seedlings, one
a scarlet of very pleasing shade, good
item and habit, the other a variegated
which undoubtedly will prove a winner.
A batch of very fine lily pf the valley and
a bench of single violets in full bloom,
as well as cyclamens, primroses, etc,
show the care of Mr. Smith.

Sam Batson's carnation houses are a
mass of bloom and buds. Baby primroses
for cutting are in full blast. Everything
speaks weU for Mr. Batson.

G. Van Bochove is Bro. have every-
thing spick and span. Their roses and
carnations are very fine and heavy cuts
of each are coming just ri^t for the
holidays. Cyclamens, primroses and cin-
erarias are as fine as ever. Their mums
were of extra quality but they were com-
pletely sold out two weeks before Thanks-
giving. Their shipping trade is rapidly
increasing and they will build a big
nmgie next year. They have bought
thirty acres of ground, only twenty rods
from the end of the trolley car line and
well adapted for this purpose. They will

BOILER ABOVE GROUND.

Some time ago L. C. C. 'gave me direc-
tions for heating three houses, 6,000 feet
of, ground covered, with hot water. I
believe that if we had been able to fol-
low directions we would have had a good
system. The plan called for a deep r
but we came to water at six feet and at
between seven and eight feet there was
such a heavy flow that we could not do
anything with it. The party who was doing
the steam fitting thought he could over-
come the diflSculty of having the boiler
above-ground by running the main pipe
up twelve feet, but it does not work.
All the houses heat alike but some of
the returns do not warm up. W. H. S.

I gather that you can get a dry pit
six feet in depth. If so there should be
no diflSculty in obtaining a low down
boiler which will give you satisfactory
results. The Kroeschell No. 3 boiler is
thirty-four inches high and the Superior
boiler No. 000 is forty inches high with-
out the ash pit. I believe either of these
types will work in your system, with the
piping arranged as I described in the
September 1 issue of the Review. If
you attempt to use a thirty or forty
horse-power return tubular boiler eight
to ten feet will be the required depth of
the boiler pit, but with a self contained
boiler, such as those above mentioned,
I believe a six-foot pit will answer the
purpose. It will be necessary for you to
have the crown of the boiler below the
lowest point in the returns in the house
and the more this difference can be in-
creased the better will be the results.
The manufacturers of these boilers will
give you the dimensions of a boiler with
capacity for caring for 2,000 feet of radi-
ation and from that you can determine
whether or not these boilers will answer
the purpose. If the boiler must be placed
on the surface of the ground a circulat-
ing pump will be necessary. Such a pump
can be arranged to operate with pteam,
water pressure or electricity. If the wa-
ter or eI«otricity are available, Uiey will
prove most satisfactory in a plant such
as yours, where a night fireman is not
kept on constant duty. L. C. C.

CAPAQTY OF BOILER.

I am using an upright boiler five feet
high with fifty 2-inch flues three feet
long. Is it large enough to heat one
house 17x48 and one 17x60 f Side walls
four feet, double boarded, with paper
between. Have a coil under each side
bench, of four 1-inch pipes with a 1%-
inch feeder at the ridge. I must have
60 degrees, using steam. W. E. T.

In order to maintain a temperature
of 60 degrees in your houses during
severe weather, 636 feet of radiation
should be supplied. The boiler you have
has capacity to care for about 750 feet
of radiation, or about 100 feet more
than is required in the houses.

PACIFIC COAST.

TWO USEFUL SUBJECTS.

I have had very good success during
the past two seasons, both in transplant-
ing and selling our native azaleas and
rhododendrons. The azaleas are found
in great profusion in the higher lati-
tudes of California and also in Oregon.
They grow to a height of ten feet and
make well furnished shrubs. There is
no difficulty in handling them at this
season of the year, as they are about as
dormant as they ever get. I dug about
200 plants last year at about this time
and potted them in 8-inch and 10-inch
pots and they broke out with a heavy
young growth of leaves and blossoms in
the spring. The masses of flowers al-
most obscure the foliage, they are so
prolific, and are of a creamy white and
delicate pink tint, with a faint spicy
odor. Pot plants, when in full bloom,
are good sellers, easily retailing from
$1.00 to $2.50 each.

The native rhododendron, although it
does not grow as abundantly as the
azalea in this portion of California, is
found in quantity in the northern part
of our state and up the coast as far as
British Columbia. I do not find it quite
as easy to transplant as the azalea, as it
is inclined to grow on the rugged moun-
tain sides and does not make many small
or fibrous roots. In transplanting about
200 plants I lost about fifty, but the bal-
ance, some of which I pruned heavily,
broke out strong and made splendid
heads of foliage and masses of flowers.
The blooms of the native rhododendron
are not fragrant but they are very
showy and beautiful and the plants,
when established in pots, sold well. In
fact, I sold all I had and could prob-
ably have disposed of more.

Both these native shrubs are valuable
and because they are so plentiful in cer-
tain parts of the state they have been

neglected by the dealers and only when
seen in their magnificence in the summer
and fall is their value realized. G.

SANFRANOSOO.

The Market

Business has been extremely quiet
since Thanksgiving. The weather is
bright and warm again and flowers con-
tinue to be brought in by wagon loads.
Chrysanthemums still hold their place as
the season's favorite and, although the
eariy blooming sorts are over, we still
have an endless assortment of late varie-
ties. Violets, although very cheap, are
the best selling flower we are handling.
They bring 75 cents per dozen bunches
wholesale. Carnations are cheaper than
they were a week ago and will not ad-
vance in price, unless we have cold
weather, until the mums are over. The
best of the fancy sorts cost three dozen
for a dollar and other varieties sell at
about 20 cents per dozen. Poinsettias
are in and are of good quality. Nar-
cissi of all kinds are a drug. Valley i»
daily getting more plentiful and sells at
from $4 to $5 per ■ hundred. Boses are
only in fair supply but there seems to
be enough to fill the demand. Green
stuff is selling well but it is so cheap
that a great quantity of it must be
handled to make a few dollars. The
dealers everywhere are hoping for a few
sharp frosts to curtail the over-produc-
tion of flowers.

DBCKUbEB 8, IWt*.

KANSAS QTY.

The Market

Trade the past week has been excep*
tionally good. Chrysanthemums being
nearly all gone, roses and carnations
are again in demand. Prices are good
and the call for good stuff is brisk.

Azaleas, lilies and violets are just be-
ginning to be seen in the florists' win-
dows, which are commencing to put on
• a holiday look. The outlook for good
business up to the first of the year was
never better.

Various Notes.

C. M. Wise has started in business at
Twenty-fifth and Holmes streets. He
has already built one house 20x90 and
intends to build two more in the spring.

W. Ii. Sock has a splendid new wagon
in course of construction.

Walter Troup, formerly assistant dec-
orator for Ed Humfeld, has accepted the
contract of making holly wreaths for
Arthur Newell. Walter is watching the
trains looking for the holly to arrive.

Miss Dalley reports splendid business
the past week and is already booking
orders for Christmas.

Jas. Payne, at Union Cemetery, rince
taking charg^e of the place has built up a
fine trade and is getting fine stock ready
for the spring market.

I hope the boys will not let the chrys-
anthemum show next fall slip by. Let us
, get the business men interested and pre-
pare to make it the best we have ever
bad.

Ed Ellsworth, of G. M. Kellogg 's, is
distributing souvenirs to his lady custom-
ers in the form of a pad of several blot-
ters with a celluloid cover stamped with
morning-glories in colors.

The W. H. Humfeld Floral Co. is fin-
ishing up the old year in good style.*
They have installed a fine new refriger-
ator in their cut fiower room, which is
presided over by J. Bingham.

Lawrence Schwager has opened a new
retail store on Grand avenue.

John Schneider, on Walnut street, is
doing a nice business these days.

B. S. Brown says it is a physical im-
possibility for any florist to handle and
•Bell over 5,500 mums in a day. He has
tried. Narcissus.

THE FARTHEST NORTH.

I would like to ask how far north a
greenhouse can be made successful, or,
more e8i>ecially, be a success in growinc
roses, carnations, lilies, etc.t We
understand there is the corn belt, wheat
belt, etc. These cereals can be grown out-
aide of this section, yet with poor re-
fiults; climatic conditions vary, seasons
too short and failure financially is the
result. I have^ seen roses bloom far
north in Dakota but not of salable size;
stems small and limp; blooms very in-
ferior. Can anyone answer this ques-
tion! E. O. L.

stems, easier to lue, does not injure the plants
or blooms. I have no trouble to keep down the
green fly and black aphis, as well as the injurous
gail fly. I can recommend it as a good article

WORLiyS FAIR ATTENDANCE.

The St. Louis World 's Fair closed De-
cember 1 and as an indication of its
value to all classes of exhibitors, includ-
ing those in the department of floricul-
ture, it may be stated that the attend-
ance in the 187 days of its existence was
18,767,457. At the same time the attend-
ance at Chicago in 179 days was 27.539,-
521, which shows what, location will do,
for the St. Louis show was larger and
cost nearly twice as much as the Chicago
ezpoaition.

Wb think the Review our best publica-

RED SPORT

This new "Bread and Butter" commercial brilliant "Crane" Red Carnation, now in its fourth
year, has the hardy constitution of General Maces, with a stronger heavier growth, longer and stilTer
stem and a larger flower. Growing under the same conditions and in the same house with Flamingo
and Estelle it baa produced four times as many blooms as the former and twice as many blooms as
the latter. The color is as good as Estelle and the bloom brings as much as does Estelle at its best.
Every flower is of a uniform brilliant red, perfectly double with an ideal calyx, in fact we never saw
a split one.

B«d Sport is perfectly healthy, an easy variety to grow, an early and continuous bloomer,
throwing its heaviest cuts around the Christmas holidays and during the Winter months when red is
in demand. Bed Sport will keep longer and travel farther than any other red carnation, and will
prove a bonanza to the grower who does a shipping business. If the scarcity of reds in the market
that now exists continues Bad Sport will pay better to the square foot of bench than any other
variety of any color to date. Every florist who has seen Bed Sport growing has placed an order
for rooted cuttings, which tells the tale. All our stock is sold up to January 2Hb. Orders filled in
strict rotation from that date on. Price. 12 for $1.50. 25 for $2.50. 50 for $4.00 all post paid. $6.00 per 100.
$60.00 per 1000, by express. We guarantee all cuttings to be well rooted and to arrive in good condition.

HEATING.

I have two houses, the one 17x48, the
other 17x60, with side walls four feet
bigh, double boarded and with building
paper between. The houses are piped
with four 1-inch pipes under each side
bench. Can I use the present coils as
feeders and put in iVj-inch pipes for re-
turns to the boiler for use with hot
■water? How many such returns will
it take to keep the houses at 60 degrees?
"Would one 2-inch pipe from the boiler
be large enough for a feed pipe? The
boiler is at the high end of the pres-
•ent 1-inch coils. I have a heater five
feet long, shell three feet wide with
fifty-two 2-inch flues. Would this heat
these houses? w. E, T

The four 1-inch pipes are not sufficient
to maintain the desired temperature.
The system can, however, be easily modi-
fied to meet the requirements. Run a
2-inch flow pipe under the ridge of
-each house from the boiler to the most
^stant end of the house and in the house
17x48, returning under the benches in
fifteen runs of 1-inch pipe or twelve
runs of 114-ineh pipe, if steam is used,
or eleven 2-inch pipes if hot water is
used. The house 17x60, in addition to
the 2-inch riser under the ridge, will
also require fifteen runs of 1-inch pipe
or twelve runs of li^-inch pipe with
«team or eleven 2-inch pipes if hot water
IS used. The returns from each house,
If steam is used, can be concentrated
iJito one 114 -inch pipe and returned to
the boiler A pipe of this size would,
m fact, be ample to care for the con-
densation for the whole system but for
<:onvenience the 1^-inch pipe can be
used for each house. With hot water a
2-inch or 2y2-inch return should be pro-
Tided for each house. A 2-inch flow is
amply large for houses of these dimen-
sions on a steam system, but with hot
^ater 2 y^ -inch flows will be more satis-
factory. The 1-inch or 1 14 -inch pipe
18 specified for returns in the heating
coils for steam because tliese sizes are
more easily handled and installed than
are the larger sizes. With hot water
towever no returns should be smaller
than 114 -inch and 2-inch is better The
friction in the small pipes retards the
How too much. L C C

ALTHAEA nQFOLIA.

Many prefer the single hollyhocks to
the monstrously doubled florists' flowers
now generally met with in gardens, which

entirely lack the grace of form shown
by the blossoms of the cottagers' plants,
with their doubled center and clear guard
petals. Of all the singles the most de-
lightful is the species known aa the fic-
leaved hollyhock, althaea ficifolia, which
is worthy of inclusion in the best herba-
ceous border. It does not attain the
great height of the ordinary hollyhock,
rarely exceeding a stature of five feet
or at most six feet. Its flowers are of
lemon-yellow color, three to four inches
across, of delicate texture and very re-
fined appearance. The leaves are large
palmate, and five to seven-lobed, some-
what resembling those of fig-tree. From
July to September this hollyhock creates
a beautiful picture in the garden. As it
does not appear to be so susceptible to
the dreaded disease as the florists' vari-
eties, it is rarely seen in bad health. It
is a native of Siberia, and has been
known for over 300 years, says the Gar-
deners' Chronicle.

CHICAGO AS A FLOWER QTY.

Chicago is steadily advancing in fame
as the largest producer of cut flowers in
this country and the industry is begin-
ning to receive recognition in the daily
papers. The following is an editorial
from the Chicago Inter-Ocean for No-
vember 15:

Those uninformed and misinformed people
who regard Chicago in the light merely of a
big Industrial city may be surprised to learn
that it is the greatest flower market lu tne
United States, but those who are famiU.ir with
the facts will be surprised only that persons of
ordinary intelligence should be ignorant of its
pre-eminence in this as well as In many other
esthetic respects.

The taste and inclination of our people have
always been in the direction of the beautiful.
This is evident to the casual observer In the
universal fondness which Is exhibited here and
throughout Cook county for the cultivHtiou of
flowers. With few exceptions every Chicago
and Cook county householder who possesHes a
front or back yard, a little patch of land, or
window or porch space sufficient for a flower
box, la unhappy unless he is raising plants of
some kind, even though he succeed in producing
little more than a few modest little pansles.

On the other hand, those who can afford to
indulge the luxury cultivate flowers here for
their owrf enjoyment upon a magnificent scale,
while acres of ground are covered by the hot-
houses of the professional florlata.

The success achieved by Chicago and Cook
county in the cultivation of flowers may be in
some degree due to our skill and in some degree
to our soil, but it is, perhaps, mainly attrib-
utable to our climate. The pure air and the
genial sunshine which abound here the greater
part of the year are highly conducive to the
growth and beauty of our buds and blossoms.

Chicago is proud of the fact that, almoat
without striving, it has gained fame in this
particular, and that from the variety and pro-
fusion of Cook county's blooms It is able to
distribute among its sister cities 'the most
glorious colors, hues and odors that nature is
capable of producing.

INDEX KEWENSIS.

The utility of this monumental work
is daily appreciated by those who have to
deal with the names of plants and their
synonyms. The original work, prepared
by Mr. Daydon Jackson under the super-
intendence and with the co-operation of
Sir Joseph Hooker, was completed in
1895. In these volumes are recorded all,
or practically all, the names of plants
from the time of Linnaeus up to the end
of 1885. A first supplement, prepared by
M. Durand and Mr. B. D. Jackson, is in
course of publication, and has reached
the letter ' ' Rhv. ' ' This supplement is
intended to bring the record down to
1895.

Proper names, when used in the form
of adjectives, are now spelt, in accord-
ance with the present Kew usage, with a

small initial letter. In the original work
they are spelt with a capital. For the
sake of uniformity it would probably
have been better to have maintained one
usage throughout. — Gardeners' Chronicle.

A BIT OF FUCHSIA HISTORY.

Probably but few persons who at-
tended the meeting of the Eoyal Horti-
cultural Society on July 23 noticed in the
foregound of a collection of hardy flow-
ers a few plants of a small-flowered
fuchsia in pots, bearing the name of
Mme. Cornellisen, and having white co-
rollas. This was probably the first
fuchsia with a white corolla and red tube
and sepals raised on the continent; and
it is interesting to note that, notwith-
standing the flood of new fuchsias put
into commerce during the last forty
years, this variety should have been pre-
served, to reappear on the above date.
Madame Cornellisen was distributed by
Thibaut & Keteleer, florists, of Paris.
F. W. Burbidge puts the year of send-
ing-out as 1860, but there is reason to be-
lieve an earlier date should be named,
and there are those who believe it to have
been the first fuchsia with a white corolla
seen in this country.

If it be correct that, as Mr. Burbidge
states, Madame Cornellisen was not dis-
tributed until 1860, then the honor of
raising the first fuchsia having a white
corolla belongs to W. H. Story, who in
1853-54 produced the variety Qijeeri Vic-
toria, having a scarlet tube and sepals,
and a pure white corolla, which, with
other varieties, passed into the hands of
E. G. Henderson & Sons for distribution.
The advent of this interesting novelty
naturally aroused a great deal of interest,
but at the time Mr. Story was af-
flicted with a severe illness which result-
ed in death, and he was thus unable to
afford any information as to the parent-
age of Queen Victoria; but it was be-
lieved that Mr. Story obtained pollen
through Mr. Veitch, of the Exeter Nur-
series, from a species or variety with a
small and almost white corolla, and by
using this on, it was said, a dark va-
riety, there was ultimately produced the
batch of which the variety Queen Vic-
toria was one. The last-named was put
into commerce about 1856-57.

Among our modern fuchsias there are
very few single varieties which are
white. Messrs. H. Cannell & Son, whose
list is a comprehensive one, name but
three. The early forms were spare of
bloom, and it is probable that defect is
somewhat hereditary. But of white
double varieties there are several, and
they are generally f ree-blcoming ; one
named Ballet Girl is largely grown by
Geo. Reynolds in the form of big bush
specimens in pots for the decoration of
the terrace in front of the mansion. This
variety is very free and one of the best
of the group. Occasionally one of this
class is shown as an exhibition specimen,
but a single white variety rarely, if ever.

Mr. Perry strongly recommended
Madame Cornellisen as a bedding plant;
small plants appear to bloom freely, the
flowers are small, but they are graceful
in form, while the habit of growth as
shown by small plants is desirable. It
affords another instance of an old plant
coming to the fore in after years, when
there was reason to believe it had been
lost. — Gardeners ' Chronicle.

ELY this cannot be true ; well, we have over JOO growers who have written us, a large majority
without request, their opinions ; we publish a few of these letters in the columns of this paper; see
on pages 1 48- J 53- 1 65- J 68. 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 (10 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.

A LABOR SAVER.

Time is often a very important factor
in the satisfactory execution of funeral
pieces. It is a usual occurrence that
a great amount of work be required in a
very brief time and anything which will
facilitate the execution of orders is of
considerable value. There are millions
of toothpicks put into designs made up
on wire frames and while the time spent
in attaching the wire is only an instant
for each individual pick, in the aggre-
gate it runs into a great many hours
every year. The retail florist is not as
quick as might be supposed to take ad-
vantage of any new device offered him,
but in the last year or two the sales for
the ordinary wooden toothpicks and the
box of wires have been very materially
cut into by a ready-wired pick designed
to economize the design-maker's time.
These ready- wired picks are "sold for only
a few cents per thousand more than the
cost of picks and wire, being wired by
machinery, and effect a saving which is
very considerable when the time of the
florist is taken into consideration. They
are now in use in practically all the up-
to-date flower stores throughout the
country and are handled by most of the
dealers in florists* supplies.

VORMS IN BOWLING GREEN.

Will you please tell me through the
Review what to do with a bowling green
that is very badly infested with wormp,
which caused much damage? J. L.

For a lawn badly infested with worms,
such as your correspondent describes,
nothing could be better than a liberal
dressing of soft coal soot. If necessary
give the lawn two applications. It will
be found to materially strengthen the
grasses and is very distasteful to the
worms. If soot cannot readily be pro-
cured use Canadian wood ashes, the
potash in which is not to the worms' lik-
ing. Use some fine bone with the ashe?,
which are not in themselves a complete
fertilizer. We would not recommend the
use of lime. Keep the bowling gref>n
well rolled after copious rainfalls. This
in itself should largely tend to alleviate
the evil. W. N. C.

You may discontinue my advertise-
ment of violet plants. I have sold all
the stock I had, which shows that it cer-
tsiinly pays to advertise in your paper. —

A Happy and Prosperous

NEW YEAR!

HAPPY and prosperous new year awaits the florist who buys from
us, because he will be saved the worry of uncertainty and he will
be g:iven the certainty of the best goods at the least prices.

We are shipping specialists, growing flowers only for the shipping
trade and growing only such flowers as are particularly suited for shipment.

We have what is universally conceded to be the best plant, equip-
ment and organization in the country for the handling of this class of bus-
iness and we handle no other class.

Ours have been the finest Roses in the market this season, and for
many seasons past and this is equally true of our other flowers, as is
shown by our large and steadily increasing business with our old custom-
ers and with new ones.

We treat every one of our customers as if he were the only **one^^
we had and we are building our business by helping our customers build
their businesses. What helps our customers must necessarily help us,
as our customers really constitute our business.

If you should like to do business on this basis, we would be glad
to have you write us about it.

Tennyson said
about the old year:

"He frothed his bumpers to the brim,
A jollier year we shall not see;
But tho' his eyes are Tvaxtng dim,
And tho' his foes speak ill of him.
He 'was a friend to me."

We certainly cannot " speak ill of him i" he was
*'a friend" to us.

A more successful year we have not seen, and
so we take this opportunity of saluting our friends
and customers with the compliments of the season,
and wishing one and all

A MERRY XMAS

and a

HAPPY NEV YEAR.

DEPENDED UPON to supply bloom of unexcelled

Embellishing: the Plants.

Nowadays the arrangement, staging
and decoration of plants is as important
as the tasteful and delicate blending of
colors in cut flowers. We have come to
expect that everything that can put forth,
or be made to put forth, a bloom stalk
at Christmas must be top dressed with
ribbons and petticoated in tissue paper.
Already this craze has reached its limit,
and this year we are seeing a healthy re-
action. Now, instead of seeing a dis-
play of blooming plants bedecked with
huge bows and hoods, we see, first of all,
clean bright foliage and new or scoure<l
pots, with saucers to each size, and plants
stripped of every suggestion of loose or
yellow foliage. Here and there one is
placed in a modestly colored jardiniere,
another has an olive-green crepe paper
pot cover tied with baby ribbon to match
the paper or blending with the color of
the flower. Another has a wider ribbon,
if the fldwer is not a showy one, with a
neat rosette bow. In neither case is the
paper cover very much higher than the
top of the pot, and it is frilled out only a
little. The lower part has the same
finish and covers the outside edge of the
saucer.

Sensible florists will provide the heavy
water-proof paper which the supply
houses offer for an occasion of this kind,
thus guarding against the wilting down
and discoloring which takes place the
minute a drop of water touches the sur-
face of ordinary crepe paper. One roll
of paper will make a dozen plain covers
for 6-inch or 8-inch pots. Cut in two
lengthwise and each piece will be enough
for six covers.

Pot Covers.

Many serviceable and neat covers can
be bought ready for use, in different sizes,
with elastic bands and colored linings
which are fringed at the top. The latter
feature is the main objection to this style.

Some amateurishly-figured materials
have been observed in pot covers. These
are not at all to be recommended, even
for flowerless plants. The safest color
for a pot cover for any plant is the plain
dark olive-green without lining. Then
there is no objection to using a not too
brilliant bow of ribbon to tie.

Birch bark pot covers are especially
good, both on account of the modest grey
and brown coloring and their durability.
There is nothing prettier for an arau-
caria than this rustic setting.

Get in the touches of brilliant color
on the ferns, araucarias and palms, which
have no flowers to brighten them. A new
pot cover of this kind is made as fol-
lows: First cover the pot with water-
proof paper; then "tack" a few short
pieces of well-berried holly on a short
piece of sash ribbon in scarlet or olive-
green of a vridth to match the depth of
the pot and fasten around the pot with a
short, bunchy bow at back. Water plants

carefully and scantily after covering and
decorating the pots.

Use Little Ribbon.

As a rule blooming plants should not
be decorated above the pot. They are
suf&cient in themselves. Therefore ap-
proach the decorating of the plants them-
selves with fear and trembling. Select
one here and there only. In most cases
gauze ribbon in grey, pale yellow, white
or light lavender or pink is best. Many
of these neutral tints have a dainty
stripe of a darker color running along the
border. Make a fluffy bow of this ma-
terial under the foliage of an azalea or
pepper plant. Lavender or light green
tulle looks airy and dainty among the
soft green of the primrose foliage. The
only bow permissible on an araucaria is
one preferably of thin taffeta or gauze
ribbon between the first two whirls, and
only one. Many customers will, however,
choose holly red ribbon for Christmas
plants with which it harmonizes.

A word as to the displaying of plants.

that is the basket cover. Wa see them in
scarlet, green and soft yellows as well as
pink. Use no ribbon with these, unless it
be the green. Many of them are good
enough to be provided with an inside zinc
pan to catch and hold waste water.
Hampers in large sizes are pretty recep-
tacles for an assortment of foliage plants.
The small sizes are suitable for flowers.
Where a hamper is filled with plants a
lar|fe bow may be used on the lid, if it is
thrown back. Don 't attempt to tie a rib-
bon around a hamper. It used to be a
very general practice and is still done
by many but the decorators in the east
who set our floral fashions now recognize
that it is in better taste omitted. No
very tall plants should be used in this
style of Iwisket.

Where a tall palm is used with other
plants in a large jardiniere or basket-
cover, group a Boston fern or two, with
two or three other kinds of ferns, like
Pteris tremula and P. serrulata in a
thick mat of foliage around the foot of
the palm.

Ferneries can be filled either after the
style of the preceding group of plants,
with a Cocos Weddelliana in the center
and low ferns around, or with an even
low top. Cover the soil with a low grow-
ing lycopodium or club moss. Cocos
Weddelliana in a half cocoanut shell sus-
pended like a hanging basket is a taker
for Christmas. Hang with three cords of
scarlet or narrow ribbon.

Japanese hanging dishes of decorated
china filled with long-leaved ferns are

A Hamper of Christmas Plants Arransfed by E. 'Wienhoeber Ca, Chicago.

Avoid step?. Make groups, some low in
clumps, others high on iron stands, with
medium and low stands in front and
around them, and set other plants on
the floor in front. Then make a solid
wall of say, Boston ferns as a back-
ground to other varieties. Of something
like primroses or cyclamens make a bor-
der or a long line.

Baskets and Hampers.

Eeverting to pot covers, there is one
kind which should be largfely used, and

also attractive. Hand-painted china
dishes of the same style may be sus-
pended with cords or chains and filled in
the same way. These china dishes are
not drained, of course, and watering
should not be overdone.

Wreaths and Gift Boxes.
There is considerable call for ceme-
tery wreaths and bunches for Christmas,
most of which perhaps are holly or
lycopodium in some attractive form,
with cut flowers. Besides the holly

wreath there is the plain lycopodium
wreath with a scarlet bow, the red im-
mortelle wreath with a spray of lycopo-
dium under a tie of holly ribbon, a good
large flat bunch of holly with red carna-
tions, or white carnations with a scarlet
bow, a cluster of California pepj)ers on a
lycopodium wreath with ribbon to match.

For the better class of gift boxes
smart tags with a holly spray are to be
had for the address. For the visiting
card which goes inside the box a
sharpened piece of holly may be drawn
through one corner in two slits like a
jeweler's mounting card.

Pleasing Combinations.

Many pleasing color combinations may
be suggested for gift boxes, like these:

Holly lining inside the tissue or wax
I)aper which lines the box, with Bradt
carnations, poinsetti3,s and stevia.

Square design box, lycopodium wreath
with scarlet tie; fill in center of wreath
Avith Roman hyacinths or valley; lay in
loose, with stems one way under the
wreath.

A fancy box lined with mistletoe, with
violets, tied with gold cord, is a fetching
combination. Use mignonette and scarlet
carnations with holly; mignonette and
Golden Gate or Bridesmaid roses; box
lined with Florida moss, with crimson
and Enchantress carnations; fern lined
box with Bridesmaid, Bride and Golden
Gate roses; Bridesmaid roses and Paper
White narcissi.

Bridesmaid roses and Shasta daisies.
Golden Gate roses and violets are good;
also poinsettias. Paper Whites and scar-
let carnations; Perle roses and Chinese
lilies; scarlet, Bradt and white carna-

tie with a cluster of narrow scarlet rib-
bon bows. For the same with a cluster of
red carnations tie with holly ribbon.

Combine Forget-me-nots, mignonette
and Perle roses.

American Beauties need no other
flower but are often tied with a big
bow of ribbon matching the color.
Liberty or Meteor roses may be used
with Golden Gate. Adiantum Crowean-
um, mistletoe and Bride or Kaiserin
roses make a fine box; Chatenay with
Ivory or Bride roses; Sunset and Meteor
roses.

White roses, white carnations or Eo-
mans, if left on hand, can be brightened
with brilliant coleus foliage and holly
tied with scarlet ribbon.

Tie the outside of the more expensive
boxes with holly ribbon or a smart clip
of holly in the tie of white or scarlet
ribbon. Spread good impressions on the
outside of the box as well as inside.

Bring one contrasting color literally
under another and the effect will be to
add to quantity. Throw a few of shorter
stems end for end across the stems of
longer stock.

Scarlet green and white are preemi-
nently Christmas colors. Keep the blues,
lavenders and yellows at a respectful dis-
tance.

Hang scarlet bells between festoons
of lycopodium wreathing and tie with
long loops of holly ribbon.

Tie pots of Begonia Gloire de Lor-
raine with narrow pink gauze ribbon.
Group by themselves to have the best
effect.

If possible let all cut flowers have an
over-night stand in water. Clip the ends
of the stems of flowers and greens as
they are sent out. Gertsude Blaib.

and Florida moss; Harrisii, poinsettias
and Paper Whites for tall vase pieces.

A red immortelle wreath with migno-

box, also purple pansies with Bridesmaid
or Golden Gate roses; Lawson and white
carnations; Lawson with Enchantress
carnations; Bridesmaid or Golden Gate
roses with Farleyense ferns.

BEGONIA LORRAINE.

How and when is the best time to
propagate Begonia Gloire de Lorraine
if bottom heat to an extreme degree is
required?

When should lilac be brought in from
the cold house for Easter forcing?

J. H.

If you can get a crop of nice young
wood from your plants you should prop-
agate at once and on all occasions when-
ever you can secure this class of wood.
If you wish to adopt the method of leaf
propagating, these will have to be insert-
ed as soon as they have attained a proper
condition of ripeness. This is indicated
by the leaves assuming a bronzy tint.
The greener, and fresher looking leaves
are more liable to damp oflf.«

As Easter will be late, the time to
bring lilacs into flower for that occasion
will be considerably shortened; in fact,
they will require little forcing at all.
The beginning of March would be about
the time to bring them in, placing them
in a temperature of 50 degrees till the
eyes break, when they can be subjected
to a higher temperature as the leaves de-
velop, if required. E.

TROUBLE WITH LILIES.

I'm in trouble with my Harrisii lilies.
We potted them August 20, and the tall-
est ones are now eight inches high and
the most of them four and six inches.
There are only a few of them diseased
and the plants seem healthy enough,
only they have such a short- jointed
growth. We hayfekept the temperature
at 56 to 58 degrees. Is that too low?
, Does a damp atmosphere help them
along? I have a patch of Japanese
longiflorum coming up. What tempera-
ture for them? Would nitrate of soda
be a good stimulant? If so, what pro-
portion of nitrate of soda to water?

M. S.

There is always more or less trouble
with Harrisii lilies, especially the earlier
potted ones, in regard to length of
stem. Weed out ^1 the diseased ones
as soon as they appear and raise the
temperature of the house to 60 or 62
degrees. Use a little weak manure water
once a week, and, as the stems reach out,
gradually increase the strength of it un-
til it is of the color of beer.

The increase in temperature will also
encourage the increase of green fly,
which will require careful watching. Fre-
quent and light fumigation will prevent
them from making much headway, but
this should be persisted in, whether they
are visible or not.

Harrisii delights in a rather humid at-
mosphere till the buds begin to appear,
when a drier atmosphere is necessary to
give a firmer texture to foliage and
bloom.

The longiflorums, if intended for Eas-
ter blooming, should not yet be showing
above the surface. They will be early
enough if brought into the house by the
first week of January and placed in a
temperature of 50 degrees till the stems
have attained a height of four inches,
when the temperature can be raised as
high as 62 degrees, if the case demands.

Easter being so late in 1905. great
care and judgment will have to be exer-
cised not to allow them to get too far
ahead. Remember it will be easier to
push them along than it will be to re-

tard their growth during the first weeks
of April. Nitrate of soda, being quick
in its action, should only be used in
small quantities and only when plants are
making their best growth. One pound to
fifty gallons of water is sufficiently
strong for even such so ft- wooded plants
as If. longiflorum. R.

ONDERS-IDLE BENCH.

Is it advisable to use soft coal cinders
in place of sand under pot plants on a
bench! What would be best to plant in
a carnation bench where the plants have
died out? Would asters fill the bill, and
what kind? E. S. F.

After long experience and careful ob-
servation I have found no material su-
perior to coal ashes as a bed for small
pots. Sand after a short time is liable
to become muddy and is at all times lia-
ble to shift when watering is beinicr done.
So long as ashes are kept fresh there is
little danger from earth worms, which
are so destructive to drainage.

Where carnation crops have failed and
the house is not suited for a stock house
or where it cannot be utilized for bed-
ding stock, a crop of cut and come
again stocks of the Princess Alice vari-
ety can be made to pay. There are other

crops, such as Gladiolus Mav and Blush-
ing Beauty, mignonette and, even late
as it is, Lilium longifloram, which will
pay better than asters. Any of the
standard varieties of asters which are
suitable for forcing may be used with
success. R.

ADIANTUMS.

Can adiantums be grown with suc-
cess under benches that are about half
lighted? What is the treatment they
need if grown on the benches? Do they
need a temperature above or below 50
degrees? We have had no success with
them at all. H. O. C.

Adiantums cannot be grown profitably
or satisfactorily under the benches in a
half lighted location, there being usu-
ally too much drip from the bench above,
too many snails and other vermin on the
ground beneath, and in addition to these
disadvantages the fronds grown in so
poor a light are too soft to be useful
in cut flower work.

The culture of adiantums for eutting
is very briefly stated as follows: Fill
a benqji to a depth of four or five inches
with good rose soil, then plant strong
young adiantums from 3-inch pots twelve
to fifteen inches apart, this being prefer-

ably done in July in readiness for the
following winter. Water in the newly
planted stock, but do not get the soil
sodden, thus giving the plants a chance
to root better. Keep the glass shaded
until about the middle of October, after
which the full sunshine will be bene-
ficial.

Ventilate quite freely as long as the
weather will permit and, as the plants
become established, water more freely,
but avoid souring the soil, and as the
days grow shorter be sure to water early
in the day, so that the plants will dry
off before night. The beat temperature
at which to grow these ferns is 60 to
62 degrees at night.

The worst pest one has to contend with
in growing adiantums for fronds is the
common snail and various remedies are
suggested. Among the best is pulverized
camphor sprinkled sparingly among the
plants. An occasional dusting of slaked
lime over the surface of the soil also
discourages snails to some extent and is
also beneficial to some soils.

HYDRCXrV^ANIC ACID GAS.

In a former communication I alluded
to my experience in the use of this
powerful agent as unsatisfactory and
uncertain. I have experimented with
it cautiously but persistently for at
least five years. I have destroyed mil-
lions of insects in that time, but I
have also sacrificed hundreds of dol-
lars' worth of V9,luable crogs. It seems
as if I had tried it in o:Sr«ry degree
of temperature permissible .Jfl a green-
house, on wet nights and on d,ry . ones,
and yet I know nothing for , certain.

The minimum quantity of cyanide
of potassium recommended by our
friends Scott and Croydon, is two, and
one-half ounces to 2,000 cubic feet of
air space. My houses contain from
40,000 to 60,000 cubic feet of space,
which would allow, if not require, from
fifty to seventy-five ounces of cyanide of
potassium, twenty to thirty quarts of
sulphuric acid and twenty to thirty
quarts of water.

In such a house, 30x175 and eight feet

to the ridge, I recently put three jars,
each containing two ounces of cyanide,
three ounces of sulphuric acid and four
and one-half ounces of water. White
fties in the winged state were quite thor-
oughly killed and the tender ends of
plants for nearly a foot seared as by
fire. What would have happened had I
multiplied the dose by eight or ten I
can hardly imagine. I have sometimes
used heavier quantities with less effect.

We always buy the best quality guar-
anteed cyanide of potassium but it is
not always the same. Sometimes there is
a heavy residue of salt left in the jars but
some we now have leaves the water per-
fectly clear. This may account in part
for the different results, for sometimes
we hit it right, killing the insects with-
out injury to the plants.

When Mir. Scott recommended five
ounces of cyanide for 2,000 feet of glass
I thought the printer had left off a cy-
pher, but when I find it repeated this
fall I can't understand it. The only
point I would make is that people had
better begin very small and increase as
necessary. G. C. A.

CARNATION NOTES.— EAST.

Marketing the Holiday Cuts, x' ■'•-

Growers sometimes complain of the
small returns received from certain ship-
ments and of course the blame is .laid
to the commission man, who in all prob-
ability is not in the least at fault. The
grower is to a certain extent in the Jianda
of his agent but the law of supply and
demand makes prices. If the man at the
scene of demand is ignorant of the sup-
ply, he is in the position of a lawyer
from whom his client has withheld an
important point in his case.

Keep your commission man fully in-
formed as to what you will have and are
likely to have. He will then be able to
take orders in advance from buyers who
will change their plans if any uncertainty
exists. The grower should confine him-
self to furnishing the supply and let de-
mand be handled by those best versed
in its intricacies and whims.

It is obviously better to ship regularly
a prime article and receive a fair return
than to send at the last minute a large
consignment of stock which, even if it
did not include some pickled goods, ar-.
rives too late to be sold with the best
advantage.

The above is especially true with re-
gard to trade around the holidays, when
the consumer is looking for an article of
extra quality. Decoration day calls for
quantity rather than quality but at
Christmas buyers are extremely critical
and there is no flower so lasting and at
the same time within the reach of all
classes, as the carnation.

Forcing Christinas Crops.

There is little that can be done now to
increase the supply except to increase the
temperature by degrees from three to
five points. Let this increase consume at
least a week and the decrease to normal

temperature the same. If your plants are
not in the be^ of health on no account
raise the tempj^iTature.

Last, but n0t least, do not cut every-
thing in sight. Besides being a severe
check on the plants, regular shipment is
interfered with and this is disappointing
to the commission man, who can often fill
orders directly after Christmas at high
prices. Geo. S. Osboen.

CARNATION NOTES.-WEST.

Handling the Christmas Cut.

Just ten days from the time these
notes appear in print you will be in the
thick of the Christmas rush. Even now
you are wondering where you are going
to cut all the blooms your customers are
asking you to supply and wondering
whether you will be blest with sunny
weather during the next two weeks.
Much will depend on the weather. Not
only will you be able to cut a great
many more blooms, but with sun you
can force the plants a little with far
less harm than you could if the weather
were cloudy. Every experienced grower
knows full well that his plants will
thrive in a much higher temperature
when the weather is bright than they
will during cloudy weather; in fact, our
sunny day temperature is always 10 de-
grees higher than the cloudy day tem-
perature. So in case of bright weather
very little or no unnatural forcing will
be required to make the plants do all
that ought to be asked of them.

The temperature can be raised 5 or
6 degrees at night during the last few
nights without harm to the plants if it
is done gradually, say a rise of a de-

free each night until 6 degrees have
een added. A sudden jump of 6 de-
grees would be very apt to burst many
calyxe^for you, besides weakening the
plants materially. The size of the Ijloom
will diminish more, too. So go gradual-

ly.

In case of cloudy weather, then is

when the grower has his trouble, espe-
cially if the weather had been moderate-
ly bright up to the last week. Even
with a considerable rise in the tempera-
ture the plants will not give the blooms
they would give in bright weather and
so, instead of cutting an increased crop,
you will have trouble in getting your
usual cut. It takes a level head to keep
balanced at such times. The public
wants the flower regardless of sunshine
and you are expected to deliver the
goods. You will have to bring into play
every wrinkle and trick you know of to
increase your output during the last
.three days, always bearing in mind,
however, that whatever you put out shall
be first class in every respect.

Saving up bloom must be practiced to
some extent, but it should not be prac-
ticed to the extent of pickling. Many
growers injure their reputation through
this practice for the sake of a very few
dollars. Carnation blooms cannot be
saved up two weeks and then expected
to stand the handling they are invariably
eubjected to during the Christmas rush.
They may look nice and fresh and crisp
■when you take them out of the cut flower
room but every little knock will bruise
them, when a fresh cut bloom would
show not the least effect.

You can, however, save up your
blooms a week and have them in good
condition if you use good judgment in
cutting and handling. You can't save
every bloom a week, either, but you can
save most of them. There will be some
blooms that will be less firm than others,
and ijetme varieties will not store as well
as others. These you must watch and
market them before they deteriorate. The
different colors will have to be handled
differently. For instance, most of the
whi;^ varieties become whiter as the
blooDiB develop. Some of the reds be-
cbioQe a deeper, richer red, while others
los9 their brightness. Some of the pinks
become washy, while others of a darker
shade will take on a prettier, lighter
shade. Most all of the light pink va-
rieties fade out badly and especially so
if the sun is strong.

To save the colors you will have to
cut them and set in a cool place, where
the light is not too strong, A cool, dry
cellar in which the temperature stands
about 45 to 48 degrees is an ideal place.
Let them have plenty of fresh air but
no draughts on the blooms. If you tie
them in bunches of twenty-five it will
save much wear on the blooms while
caring for them. Don't tie the stems
tight, but just enough to hold the
bunches together. Have the stems even;
then when you want to cut the stems
you can take one bunch after another
and with a sharp knife cut the stems
all at one time. Before sending them
out you must look over the bunches
carefully and replace any blooms which
did not keep perfectly.

Do not crowd too many blooms in one
vase and do not put them in vases that
are too deep. Occasionally we see car-
nations with stems fifteen inches long
chucked down into a 12-inch vase. They
settle down into the vase until the
blooms become wedged together into a
small bunch, instead of each bloom stand-
ing away clear. If the stems are stiff
a vase that will reach not more than
half way up the stem is plenty deep
enough. With such a vase the blooms can
spread out over a space six times as
large as the vase and no crowding is
possible, A. F, J. Baur.

drnation Abundance, Whiter as Grown by Rudolph Fischer, Great Neck, L. L, N. Y.

SLEEPY CARNATIONS.

Please tell me the cause of my carna-
tions going to sleep in from twelve to
twenty-four hours after being picked
quite close daily. I have grown carna-
tions for many a year, but have never
seen anything like this. I have En-
chantress, Estelle, Higinbotham, Morn-
ing Glory, Lawson, Melba, Armazindy,
Gomez, White Cloud, etc. The stock
looked fair when planted the latter part
of August, in soil lefr in the liouses
where carnations grew last year, turn-
ing it over and adding an inch of ma-
nure on all and a slight sprinkling of
bone meal on some benches. I am grow-
ing them quite cool, between 50 and 60
degrees in the day time and 46 to 54
at night. I have them on the dry side;
at times the soil runs through one's
fingers like sand. I understand this soil
has grown carnations for a good many
years. My experience is that carnations
go to sleep after being fumigated strong-
ly with tobacco stems, but these go to
sleep when they haven't been fumigated
for weeks. B. J. P.

Your method of culture is not such as
one would expect very high grade blooms
from. I cannot point out any one thing
that I could say positively is causing
your trouble, but there are several which
could materially aid in bringing it on.

The old soil may be the cause of it.
If carnations have been growing on it,
as you say, for several years, certain ele-
ments of a perfect soil may have been
exhausted. You are allowing too wide a
range in temperature; 46 degrees one
night and 54 degrees the next is sure to
cause trouble, A variation of 2 degrees
is enough to allow. You allow them to
dry out too severely, too. Soil in which
plants are growing should never become
so dry that it will run through the
fingers like sand. The carnation is a
water loving plant when in vigorous
growth.

I have several times said in these notes
to run them just a little on the dry side
during dark spells. By that I mean that
the soil should be in such a state of
moisture that you can crumble it readily
in the hand. Try to keep the soil in an
even state of moisture all the time. Per-
haps you pick your blooms too close, too.
At this time of the year we find that
carnation blooms keep best if allowed to
open up pretty well on the plants; not
what we term over-ripe, but just when
they are full open.

I would advise you to begin watering
them carefullj^ with a view to keeping
the soil just about the same right along.
Keep the night temperature 50 to 52
degrees, day temperature 60 degrees on
cloudy days and 65 to 70 degrees on
bright days. Lawson wants 4 degrees
warmer at night and on cloudy days.
Give a crack of air whenever possible
and all you can on bright days. A light
sprinkling of air-slaked lime watered in
might help some, too; it certainly could
do no harm. Drop a pinch of sulphur
on one of the steam pipes about every
twenty feet. Next season try to plant
in new soil. A. F. J. Baur.

CUT AND COME AGAIN.

The accompanying illustrations are re-
productions from photographs of Abund-
ance, white, the most wonderfully pro-
lific carnation in existence, or that ever
has been in existence. One picture shows
three plants potted from the field Sep-
tember 23 and photographed October 10.
One plant has thirty-two flower shoots
and the other two twenty-eight each.
They were not the largest plants by any
means, as I planted numerous plants with
forty and fifty shoots. Every shoot
brings a flower and as soon as a flower
is picked the eyes below the cut send up
other shoots in a very short time, making
it a continuous bloomer. Growers will
note the absence of grass at the bottom
of the plants, as cuttings do not stay
there but spring right up to business.

The plants grow so fast that during
their life in the field they had to be
cut back four times. The last time
the shoots were so numerous that we
had to resort to harsh measures to save
time; we took hold of the entire shoots
of a plant with one hand while with the
other we cut below with shears to the
desired length! It is certainly the great-
est thing for growing I or any one else
ever saw. My benches are a sight to
see, and will be all winter long.

I have four center benches ninety-six
feet long by eight feet wide and
three side benches 100 feet long by two
and one-half feet wide planted to
it, and would have more if I had room.
I raised it from seed eight years ago. It
is a cross between Scott and McGowan.
It shows strong characteristics of both
parents but is a great deal more pro-
lific than either; in fact there is nothing
to compare with it for blooming quality.

It is not a fancy carnation that has
to bring fancy prices to pay, but it is

a pure white, of medium size, highly
scented and wonderfully prolific, just
what every florist wants who is growing
carnations for a living and not for
pleasure alone.

The other picture is from a photograph
of a plant left out after the houses were
filled, to show the fibrous roots and how
they retain the ball of soil, but the ball
is not necessary, as it grows, no matter
how or when planted. I have filled a
bench as late as the middle of November,
after Jones chrysanthemum was cut, and
they have done finely, not one missing.

TEMPERATURE.

Will you kindly tell me what average
temperature to keep for a house with
Prosperity, Lawson and Enchantress car-
nations, also, how to burn tobacco dust
to fumigate the houses? C. H.

You will find it impossible to run the
temperature so that it will exactly suit
all three of these varieties. Mrs. Law-
son wants a temperature higher than
any other carnation we have; 55 degrees
suits it best. Enchantress is just the
reverse, while Prosperity is well suited
with a medium temperature. If the tem-
perature in your house varies somewhat
between the two ends and you have En-
chantress planted at the cool end, Pros-
perity in the center and Lawson at the
warm end you need not have much
trouble, but if Enchantress is at the
warmest end and Lawson the coldest,
then you will have trouble all winter.
Lawson will split badly and Eiichan-
tress will come sleepy. Between the
two evils you will have to choose which
will be the most costly to you and act
accordingly. Lawson wants 55 degrees;
Enchantress should not have over 50
to 52 degrees.

To burn tobacco powder take a piece
of tin 12x18 inches, bend upward and
outward about two inches at each end.
Lay on top of this a piece of wire fly
screen the same size as the tin and bend
the two ends down over the ends of the
tin, so the screen will hook onto the tin
securely. Spread on the screen a piece
of paper sprinkled with kerosene and on
this spread your tobacco powder. Light
it around the edges and he sure the to-
bacco catches fire; sometimes the paper
alone will not start it, but if it starts
in three or four places it is sufficient.
Tobacco dust will not make a dense
smoke, like the stems, but the fumes are

just as strong and effective. Use about
a 4-inch or 5-inch pot of powder on
each screen and one screen to each twen-
ty-five running feet in a house twenty
feet wide. Start these in the evening,
as it takes several hours for one of these
piles to burn up. The above quantities
are what we find effective with To-bak-
ine Fumigating Powder, but I suppose
others use about the same.

A. F. J. Baur.

OVER-FEEDING.

My carnations are coming sleepy and
the trouble seems to be increasing. My
soil is about one-fourth cow manure and
good clean loam. The plants were housed
about the middle of September and what

flowers I cut were all right, with a few
exceptions, until about Thanksgiving. I
have been giving them some liquid dress-
ing of late, as the blooms were growing
smaller. I ran the temperature 48 to 50
degrees until lately I have let it go up to
55 degrees at night, but they came sleepy
before I raised the temperature or used
liquid dressing. Twice in the liquid I
put two ounces of nitrate of soda to a
barrel for a house 28x100. Now what
shall I do to bring them out of it? I
shall have to use liquid fertilizer to get
good blooms. The plants look very heal-
thy and are putting up a large crop of
flowering shoots with good length of
stems. The varieties are Crane, Joost,
Hill and Queen Louise. G. P. G.

While there may be other causes for
the sleepiness of your carnations, I feel
certaii;! of one thing and that' is that
you are over-feeding them with manure.
One-fourth manure is the greatest of
plenty for carnations, and carnations
that are planted in such a rich' soil the
middle of September surely do not need
any extra feeding by the first of Decem-
ber. Instead of piling on the liquid
manure you would better give them a
sprinkling of air-slaked lime to set free
what food there is already in the soil and
a little bone to give them substance. Give
plenty of ventilation whenever possible.
There may be other causes, but I feel
sure you have erred along this line.

A. F. J. Baur.

COMMERCIAL VARIETIES.

The market for cut blooms has been
better than for several seasons and com-
mercial growers generally are fairly well
satisfied with their returns for the year.
Local conditions vary so much that it is
presumptuous to say that the kinds men-
tioned below^ will suit every taste, and,
again, a heavy call develops in some sec-
tions for early flowers, while the demand
in another section for similar stock may
be almost nil. There was a frantic call
this year in the New York market for
good early flowers, particularly of yel-
low varieties, and Monrovia was whole-
saling for $5 a dozen on October 1 that
would not bring nearly half as much
two weeks later. This demand was due
largely to the fact that a killing frost
had wiped out the dahlias, cosmos and
other outside stock in many sections be-
fore the end of September. This nat-
urally created a shortage in flowers and
the mum growers benefited very materi-
ally, and, while we do not want to see
the dahlia men go out of business, we
hope we may get our share of the early
market next year.

Even admitting that we are not fa-
vored with an early frost every year,
the grower who has good flowers early
in October is more likely to make money
than the grower who tries to hold back
for Christmas. The first flowers have
the charm of newness and change, where-
as by Christmas the public has had
enough and the novelty has gone. Early
varieties also are more profitable by
reason of the fact that they are sold
off early and the bench space can be im-
mediately utilized for some other pur-
pose, which is quite an important con-
sideration to the average florist.

The varieties here mentioned are given
in the order of their flowering:

Yellows: Merstham Yellow, Monro-
via, Beveil A'Begles, Halliday, Apple-
ton, Yellow Eaton, Bonnaffon,

Whites: Polly Rose, Alice Byron,
Clementine Touset, White Coombes,
Baton, Chadwick and Merry Christmas,

Pinks: Pacific, Lady Harriet, Mrs.
Coombes, W. Duckham, Mrs. G. Mile-
ham and Maud Dean.

I mention Merstham Yellow first be-
cause if it comes as early next year it
will be the first of the yellows fit to cut.
It is, of course, a novelty yet, and in a
sense untried, so we must wait another
year for final judgment. Reveil A'Beg-
les is also a novelty though I have heard
it highly spoken of. The other yellows
are, of course, well known, and, if a
grower could have only one yellow, that
one should be Col. Appleton, Bonnaffon,
while it has been ousted by Appleton as
a midseason, is still largely grown for a
late variety, and fairly good flowers are
still in sight for Christmas.

In whites, Polly Rose comes first and
with this, as with its parent, the pink
Pacific, it would be better if more of
the growers tried to grow better flow-
ers and not so many of them. Polly
Bose is a very dwarf grower and wh'-u
it is pinched and several shoots taken
up, it means that a lot of short-stemmed,
small flowers are thrown on the market
that come into direct competition with
the late asters; whereas, had the' mums
been better grown and sent in with
good stems their superiority over the
asters would be self-evident. Polly Rose
brought this year from 3 cents each
up to 40 cents each and the range of
quality was about as variable as the
price.

Clementine Touset is a new arrival
about which I know little, though it is
large and early, two very desirable fea-
tures. White Coombes is in every re-
spect a replica of its parent, Mrs.
Coombes, except in color and will be
largely grown in the east next peason
as a second early white. With us it will
take the place of Robinson, which has
become so soft as to be practically
worthless. White Coombes was certifi-
cated by three committees, New York,
Boston and Philadelphia. The other
whites are standards and well known.

In pinks there is little change. Duck-
ham will be grown more hirgely with u.s

than any other pink. Maud Dean in
many sections is still the best late pink.
Those growers who have been handling
Viviand-Morel as a pink will find Leila
Filkins an improvement on it in every
way, but most growers run entirely to
the incurving types, as they ship better
and do not need so much care in pack-
ing.

There are several varieties that can-
not be classed as either white, pink or
yellow, which have begun to make their
mark in the trade and among these are
W. B, Church, Harrison Dick and Don-
ald McLeod, the two latter being very
beautiful varieties on the bronzy-crim-
son order that light up wonderfully.
Church is a purple-crimson that oftener
than not shows a bronze effect. It is a
peculiar color and very distinct but the
floral artist has put his approval on it
and Church will be grown in consider-
able quantity next year.

8. T. Wright, while sent out as a
crimson, sold fine as a bronze, this pe-
culiar state of affairs arising from the
fact that on an early bud this variety
incurves so closely ?is to entirely liide
the crimson and show onl/ rhe goI'U^n
bronze reverse.

There are many varieties that Jo
well and sell well in l;ffoi.-.'>it sections
of the country, that arc not iienrd cf
outside the home circle, so ti speak, r.nd
where a grower has wich a variety it
would be foolish to discrir.1 if.

Occasionally one hears of a variety that
drops out of sight to reanpi.Mr in a year
or two as something entirely n^^w. Such
a variety is the Dorothy I'aust thnt has
appeared at Philadelphia. From the in-
formation to hand there siems no qu's-
tion but that it is Mrs. Jvobo'-t Mi-Ai-
thur, a variety introduced by Spa.ilding
in 1897. This is the second ime that
this variety has come up under a lew
name, which is a tribute to its staying
powers as a variety, if nothing else.
There is no desire on anyone 's part to
willfully deceive, so far as I know. A
label lost or transposed will easily ac-
count for these things but if we are to

name. Brian Boru.

PROPAGATING.

Having invested in some choice stock
plants of chrysanthemums, I planted
them in six inches of good, strong soil.
How shall I proceed to secure the gi-eat-
est number of good plants from them ?

Why does Viviand-Morel sometimes
give blooms of very delicate pink and
cream f They grew in soil two- thirds
loam, one-third cow manure, and were
moderately fed with bone meal, blood
and very weak solution of nitrate.

J. J. L,

The correspondent does not state
whether he has planted out his stock
plants in a bench or box. If they are
in a box they can be easily moved to a
warmer house, but if in a bench the
house should be kept at about 50 de-
grees at night, with a corresponding rise
during the day. Do not water too much
during the winter months and do not, as
soon as a small cutting appears, trim it
off with the idea of getUng all you can.
Let the plant make a little top growth
to encourage root action and you will
ultimately get more cuttings. \ ' V

When Viviand-Morel is tfiV.<?n on the
crown bud it not infrequently produces
flowers streaked and marked in the man-
ner described. The feeding as given
would not affect the color at all. Morel
has seen its best days; Leila Filkins will
give a flower just as good with far leas
trouble. Late buds of Viviand-Morel,
that is to say, buds taken after Septem-
ber 1, would not show the pale coloring
but would run an even pint all through
the flower. Brian Boru.

CHRYSANTHEMUM MRS. WEST.

Gustav D. Lotze, Glen Bumie, M)d.,
who is one of the most successful grow-
ers of chrysanthemums for the Baltimore

market, has formed a very high opinion
of Mrs. D. V. West, which is one of his
best white varieties, worthy of a place in
the collection of any grower of exhibi-
tion blooms. The form and character of
the flower is shown in the accompanying
illustration, from a photograph of one
of Mr. Lotze 's blooms.

FOURTEEN BEST SORTS.

The illustration on page 196 is from
a photograph taken at the establishment
of the l2vingston Seed Co., Columbus, O.,
October 30. The varieties are what
Supt. Fred Windmiller calls "the four-
teen best sorts. ' ' They are :

Mme. Herrewege,

Australie, Duchess of Suther-

White Popham, land.

CHRYSANTHEMUM FIDELITY.

It has been suggested that Elmer D.
Smith, of Nathan Smith & Son, Adrian,
Mich., has formed an alliance with the
man who names the sleeping cars. Evi-
dence of this is found in the names Mr.
Smith has given to some of his 1905 set
of chrysanthemum novelties, for instance,
Okolona and Kinkora. At any rate it
is a great improvement on Dr. Oronhy-
theka, by which original name very few
trade growers would recognize Yellow
Eaton.

Another good name chosen by Mr.
Smith for one of his 1905 set is Fidelity,
pictured herewith. This may be termed
an improved Alice Byron, from which it
is a seedling. It inherited the pure white
color and growth of that excellent va-

Chrysanthemum Fidelity.

riety, but is much larger, more artistic
in form and of fine substance. Owing to
these qualifications it will be a welcome
addition to the commercial list. The
height is three feet, at its best November
5 to 10. It was the winner of the silver
cup, for best white seedling at the
World's !Fair 'flower show and was cer-
tificated by the C. S. A.

DECORATIVE MUM PLANTS.

These are becoming more frequently
asked for yearly. Varieties tliat are free-
flowering when grown in a natural bush
form or bush standard, such as are seen
at some of the nurseries and parks in
groups, are invaluable for this purpoKe,
Quite recently there have been several
new additions to the decorative section
by a continental raiser, M. AuguEte
Nonin of Paris. He has this year sent
out some useful Japanese varieties, free-
flowering plants of good habit, that make
nice little bushes, and are not, like some
of the older sorts, unduly tall. Of these
I should be inclined to recommend Etoile
d'Or, a bright golden-yellow flowered
Japanese with medium-sized flowers ;
Primevere, another, but with rather lar-
ger starry-shaped flowers, pure pale yel-
low shaded buff; Etoile Blanche, rather
large, color pure paper white; Acajou, a
pretty medium-sized flower, color dull
crimson-red, florets flat, of medium
•width, very free ; Innocence, a nice little "
white flower of considerable decorative
eflFect; Jason, lemon-yellow.

Sometimes, by way of a change, the
aingle-flowered varieties are used in this
way. Ladysmith, rosy-purple, is one of
the prettiest. Paris Daisy is a little gem,
white with yellow center, a starry flower.
Helen Skinner is quite new, large in
size, florets flat, color a fine shade of vel-
vety purple-amaranth, center yellow. —
C H. Payne, in Gardeners' Ciironiclc.

AMERICAN MUMS.

The chrysanthemum writers of the
European trade press frequently allude
to the fact that, while so many splendid
new sorts are constantly coming from
Australia and from France, as well as
from Ebglish raisers, little in the way
of new sorts comes to them from
America. But if the gentlemen who
feel that America has not contributed her
share in this direction will turn from
the exhibition table to the market reports
they will find that at about Thanksgiving
the leading varieties in quantity and sal-
ability in the London market were Major
Bonnaffon, Western King and Niveus.
BonnafFon was raised by P. Dorner &
Sons Co., Lafayette, Ind., and sent out
in 1894. Western King is one of Nathan
Smith & Sons' varieties, disseminated in
1897, and Niveus came from the same
source in 1893. The English market
grower makes his money growing Ameri-
can varieties and spends it trying French
and Australian seedlings.

THE WELLS-POCKETT SET.

A (-.urprising number of very fine
chrysanthemum novelties are now coming
out of Australia each year, and of the
raisers there none is more conspicuous
for his success than is T. W. Pockett,
most, if not all of whose productions
reach the trade through W. Wells & Co.,
Earlswood, Eedhill, Surrey, England, who
Fent the wonderful collection of cut
blooms to the Chrysanthemum Society of
America show at Boston this year. This
contained many of the 1905 set of novel-
ties. In writing to an American corre-
spondent Mr. Wells says:

* ' You may be interested to know
something about our novelties for 1905.
Well, they must be branded as the best
lot we ever had and we could easily have
made another set of twenty, and then

there would not have been a bad one.
These are really the pick of 3,000 plants
(seedlings) which Mr. Pockett raised in
Australia in 1902, which flowered over
there for the first time in April, 1903,
eighty of which he sent to me. These
we flowered in our nurseries this fall and
those named are the cream of the eighty
varieties, but it is almost a shame to
throw away quite thirty other good ones,
but people on this side are all cla:moring
for size. You will see ' size ' among these
next fall and quality thrown in. They
may be well termed the Gold Medal
set."

THREE OF A KIND.

The accompanying illustrations show
the three fine chrysanthemums which
John Breitmeyer's Sons, Detroit, have
been exhibiting at the fall flower shows.
These were raised by H. W. Kieman, of
Indianapolis, and sold to the Breit-
meyerg, who early recognized the com-
mercial value of the set. They have
grown them for their own trade but
never exhibited them until the World's
Fair flower show, at which Majestic took
first prize for 100 white in a class with a
larger number of entries than were ever
before staged; no less than fourteen
finely finished vases of 100 blooms each.
Adelia is also white and Fred Breit-
meyer thinks it is fully as good a thing
commercially as Majestic. Madonna is
shell pink. All three are of much the
same form, of good growth and fine sub-
stance. They should be good shippers.
After standing the week at the Chicago
show a bunch of petals could be plucked
from a flower and it would fill up the
hole so that they would not be missed;
nor would other petals fall under violent
shaking.

CHRYSANTHEMUM SOCIETY.

Eugene Dailledouze, chairman of the
committee for examining seedlings in
New York, reports that the variety Dor-
othy Faust, presented to that committee
December 3 is identical with the variety
Mrs. Robert McArthur certificated by
the society in 1897. The same variety
was presented to the same committee a
few years later as David S. Ward, Mr.
Dailledouze was a member of the com-
mitee which granted the original certifi-
cate.

As the result of a misunderstandinjij
by the secretary of the C. S. A., all the
varieties of chrysanthemums introduced
in the spring of 1903 were omitted from
the report and lists recently publlshel
by the society. These varieties will be
included in the annual report for 1904^
to be issued soon,

LIFTING BULBS.

I have a large lot of bulbs bedded,
such as hyacinths, tulips, narcissi, Span-
ish iris, crocus, etc., which, after they
flower in the spring, I deem it best to
lift so as to use the ground for other
purposes. How can I tell by the tops
after they have flowered the proper
time to lift the bulbs, as I desire to
again plant them in the fall and want
them in a proper condition before tak-
ing them up? H, L. W.

If lifted the tops should be about
ripe before the bulbs are disturbed. If
lifted as soon as the flower is faded you
arrest the process of storing up strength
for the following year.

-SIX DAYS SHALT THOU LABOR.'*

We serve the public, but is that any
reason why we should work seven days
for a weekf "Six days shalt thou labor
and do all thy work, ' ' was the Divine
command, which goes on enumerating
every member of the family and the
stranger within thy gates, also thy cat-
tle. Why should we as florists be com-
pelled to break this command, rising
early and working late? Can we be ex-
pected to give our best service when
every nerve and fibre of our being has
been taxed to its utmost capacity? For-
merly the banks kept open until 10
o'clock Saturday nights, but they have
learned a better way. The same amount
of business can be accomplished in less
time. Our young people hesitate to en-
gage in a business whK;h permits no re-
spite. The Sunday closing laws are not
enforced, yet every florist knows he would
be better off physically, mentally and
morally if he kept closed doors one day
of the seven. Other cities do it, why
not in St. Louis? Occasionally there is
an order that cannot be given during the
week, but once let your patrons know
you must have time to rest and breathe
outside of your business and they will
soon fall in line. M. S. N.

The Review is all right, the best
paper. — C. L. Baum, Knoxville, Tenn.

FARTHEST NORTH.

In answer to E. O. L., who wants to
know how far north cut flowers can be
grown, I would like to say that I don't
think the distance north has anything
to do with the growing of roses and
carnations. Cost of growing may be
greater; on the other hand prices are
higher. I am not an expert. The fact
is I don't pretend to be a florist in the
real sense, but my carnations compare
very favorably with those of Chicago
growers, stems not ouite as long, and
as for roses, James River valley of the
north is the home of the finest roses
grown in the open air; why not in the
greenhouse? The trouble with the green-
houses in North Dakota has been they
have been operated by men with neither
experience nor sufficient capital.

D. C. Walter.

HEATING VIOLET HOUSES.

In answer to the qaerf of P. W., who
wishes to know if violefn can be grown
in houses where steam heat is employed,
I would say that wo have grown them
equally well in hous^ heated by steam as
by hot water. In either case you must
have your beating system so arranged
that you can control the heat and keep
the house or houses at the desired tem-
perature. To accomplish this the grower
who uses steam entirely should have his
houses piped with several coils so that
he can have little or much heat, as the
weather calls for. Otherwise, if he has to
turn on a large coil in order to have anv
heat at all it will be too much in mild

weather. Really it is the best to have a
valve at each end of ^ach run of pipe. so
that one pipe at a time can be added as
it grows colder HVd this is easily ar-
ranged if, when String the house, you
make up your edlls with headers or
branch tees. In itiAt, every house should
be equipped -with ttt least one such coil, as
in this way yot? ehn graduate your heat
to a nicety, i>6 it either steam or hot
water, especiaJfy the former, and there
is then no tndffme for the fireman giving
a house a io^ high temperature, which he
is liable td OO otherwise.

FUMIGATING VIOLETS.

Please tell me how to kill tlie little
buji{8 on my violets with this hydrocyanic
acid gas. I have used tobacco in every
form without result, and smoking hurts
the sales. J. K. P.

The formula for fumigating with
hydrocyanic acid gas is as follows:
Water, one quart ; cyanide of potassium,
five ounces; sulphuric acid, one quart.
This is the quantity for 1,000 cubic feet
of space. The correspondent will have
to compute the space in the house and
use a corresponding amount of the for-
mula.

Any deep earthen jar will answer the
purpose and the water and acid should
be mixed first and so placed that the
package of cyanide can be lowered into
the jar by a string from the outside of
the house. Have the jars located in the
lowest places in the house, as the gas is
so light that it rises fast and under
no circumstance attempt to drop the
packages otherwise than from the out-
side, as the gas forms so quickly and is
so deadly that it would kill one before
he could get out of the house; in fact,
I never like to tell anyone to use it
for fear that some accident will happen.
Do not allow anyone to go near the
houses till they have been aired, and you
should have the ventilators so that they
can be opened without entering the house.

PROPAGATING BEAUTIES.

In selecting wood from Beauties for
propagating purposes the greatest of care
is nof-essary in order to secure wood of
unr'foira ripeness, so that all the cuttings
in the batch may form roots about the
same time and that all may benefit by tht
uniform conditions of temperature, moist-
ure, etc.

The practice of cutting long stems
which are dilatory in showing bud and
utilizing them for propagating wood is a
fruitful source of failure, because in a
stem of four or five feet in length, upon
which there are perhaps twenty eyes, the
eyes near the base and the eyes near the
top are far removed from each other in
point of ripeness and if these are indis-
criminately placed in the sand it is obvi-
ous that there cannot be any uniformity
in root formation.

To secure uniformity it is advisable to
select short and close- jointed shoots, which
may possess only four or six eyes, suflScient
to make from one to three cuttings. T.'i«J^e
form roots in nearly the same length of
time, are less liable to shed their leaves
and make a much thriftier plant than do
those from longer-jointed- wood.

In nearly all Beauty houses some plants
are found which are tardy in r'orming
flower buds, but possess an abundanc.3 of
wood and these are often called upon to
furnish the wood for propagating. For
years I have been carefully avoiding tak-
ing wood from such plants and find that
this class of plant can by this method be
greatly reduced.

By selecting wood from our most free
blooming plants and persisting lu this
practice year after year we propagate
only those plants which possess good char-
acteristics, which are almost certain to be
perpetuated in the young stock, thus se-
curing stock of a more floriferous charac-
ter and although we may not get quite so
many extra long stems we will have a
house of more uniform growth atd n
greater quantity of medium length stems,
which are certainly the easiest sellers and
most profitable.

Beauty cuttings of course require a p;ood
deal more room in the bench than teas

do, as it is advisable not to allow the
leaves to overlap each other, as this pre-
vents them from drying out quickly alter
syringing. In order to prevent the loss
of foliage in the cutting bench great care
is required in watering, as the least excess
of moisture in the sand is almost certain
to cause it, while over-dryness will have
the same effect, and as a cutting without
foliage, no matter how well it may be
rooted, can never make a good, robust
plant, its, vitality having received such a
check, it is safest to discard all such.

Beauty cuttings when rooted require
much 'the same treatment as teas, but if
the weather is bright it is better to give
iheiu the benefit of shading a -^ay or two
longer, the foliage being so muon 'tirger
that if it is allowed to wilt or curl it
takes a longer time to recover.

When in the younger stages they are
very subject to the attacks of green fly,
which are hard to dislodge, by reason of
the foliage lying so close to the pots and
it requires more care to keep them clean
than Brides, Maids or even Meteors.

After they get a start in 2-inch pots
they grow very rapidly and should be
carefully watched so that they do not be-
come pot-bound, as this condition is a
very serious set back to young Beauties.

SOIL FOR ROSES.

I send two samples of soil and some
foliage of Golden Gate and Brides-
maid roses. They were benched June
1 and made a very good start. I took
a small crop in September and since
then the growth and blooms have been
weak. There has been much blind wood,
flowers off color and weak necked. Have
run the houses 58 degrees at night, 62 to
70 degrees in the daytime, with air as
long as possible. The benches are made
of 6-inch boards with cracks three-quar-
ters of an inch wide. We used sod, grass
side down, with about four inches of soil
like sample No. 1. Is the fault in the
soil! Sample No. 2 is of sod prepared
this fall for use next year. J. P. K.

The treatment accorded these roses
should have produced better results and,
had sample of soil No. 2 been used in a
properly composted condition, there is
little doubt but that the crops would
have been satisfactory. Sample No. 1
is very poor and not at all suited for
roses.

This method of laying the sod on the
bottom of the bench is not- the best way
of getting the most out of it. In my
experience I have found it mbre satis-
factory to chop up all the sod aih,d thor-
oughly incorporate it with the najanure,
using only a light covering of rye or
wheat straw to cover the cracks. This
serves the purpose of keeping the ,soil
from running through till it gets pet,
when if the soil is properly handled
there is no more danger from this caupe.
Sample No. 2 is a good rose soil and, if
composted in April, chopped up ajpd
turned over a couple of times previous
to using, there is no reason why it
should not produce good crops.

ADVICE FOR A BEGINNER.

I am a beginner in floriculture, ana
there are some things I wish to know
which I presume you will think even a be-
ginner ought to know. I shall build a
greenhouse next summer for roses and
I wish to stock it with roses for forcing
for cut flowers. Should I buy small
plants, say rooted cuttings, and set them
in nursery rows to be cultivated during
the summer and then transplant them
to the benches in the early fall, or would
I better buy older stock in the fall to
be planted in the benches at oncef How
close will they bear to be planted for
best results? The house I propose to
build will be 20x70 feet. I have a small
one which I fllled with carnations this
fall. J. C. H.

From the nature of the queries pro-
pounded by J. C. H. it is quite evident
that he is a beginner. I would advise
him to study some good work on green-
house management before he builds. He
ought to equip himself with sufficient
knowledge on this subject to give him-
self a fair chance of success. Such
knowledge is contained in Scott's Man-
ual, a work which no beginner should
be without.

The safest kind of stock to purchsise
for a flrst planting, say in June, would
be from 3-inch pots, and plant in the
bench at once. By planting in the field
you have to wait until the plant becomes
dormant before it can be lifted with any
chance of success. Brides and Maids re-
quire from 144 to 165 square inches of
root area. Beauties about 225 inches.

H3ES.

A BEGINNER'S TROUBLE.

I am sending you some buds of my
roses and ask your advice as to what
would be the best course of treatment
to improve the stock. The roses have
been carried over from last year. They
had been badly neglected when I took
them over in the middle of September.
They had contracted mildew, were only
watered once in two or three days,
weeds allowed to over-run them, etc. On
taking possession I immediately got the
weeds out. cut out all dead and some
blind wood, then mulched them with well
rotted horse manure, the only kind at
my disposal. I watered them as fre-
quently as they needed it, ventilated
carefuUv, got nearly rid of the mildew
by dusting on sulphur, also painted the
pipes, syringed on fine days but find
red spider still. The houses are two
in number, 20x100, even span, running
north and south. I am advised not to
open the ventilators now, as the houses
are rather high, and am told that open-

ine the door on one end will give suf-
ficient ventilation. The houses are heat-
ed by hot water. What temperature
should I keep at night? I am covering
the benches, on top of the mulch, with
soil, as they did not seem to have enough
and I found it difficult to get the dead
leaves out of the mulch. What causes
the leaves to drop off in great numbers!
H. B. S.

The sample buds reached me in good
condition and after carefully inspecting
them in the light shed by the foregoing
letter I would advise careful and ample
ventilation on all favorable occasions,
using the ventilators for the purpose for
which they were intended and avoiding
ventilating by the door-way. I am also
of the opinion that the stock was not
in proper condition to use the mulch
when it was applied and would advise
not to add any soil to it until the plants
•are stronger aid the season a little far-
ther advanced. This is undoubtedly the
cause of the leaves continuing to drop.
Horse manure, if fresh, contains more
ammonia than rose foliage cares for and
this also tends toward the shedding of
leaves.

The temperature for Bride, Maid,
Chatenay and Golden Gate is 56 degrees
at night, rising to 70 or 75 degrees, ac-
cording to intensity of sunshine.

For red spider keep the syringe going
every bright day and manipulate the
spray so that the under side of each
leaf is thoroughly washed, using suf-
ficient force to dislodge the spider and
break up the web. Do this early in the
day, so that the foliage may become dry
before sundown.

I have had about as good success with
roses in houses running north and south
as with those running east and west.
I am aware that this statement is con-
trary to the accepted theory as to the
aspect of rose houses but it is based
on facts and "facts are chiels that
winna ding, an ' daurna be disputed, ' '
and can also be substantiated by fairly
good reasons. Ribes.

THE BABY RAMBLER.

When a buyer pays a good price for a
foreign novelty he does not always get
the full value of his money unless it is
arranged that the novelty shall be sent
out simultaneously in Europe and Amer-
ica. To let a good thing loose in Eu-
rope means that it is sure to find its
way into the trade in the United States,
perhaps even before the purchaser of the
American rights is ready to send it out.
A case in point is Rose Mme. Levavas-
seur, which is popularly known as the
Baby Rambler. There are seeral la rep
and a number of smaller stocks of it in
existence in this country, all obtained
from perfectly legitimate sources, al
though the raiser sold the American
* ' monopoly. ' '

Newbury, O. — Reinhold Hoffman asks
$5,000 damages of the county because of
the building of a new road in front of
his place which left his greenhouses about
four feet below grade. The county com-
missioners contend that the damages
asked are too near the original value of
the property and offer $250 in settle-
ment.

REGULATION OF TEMPERATURE.

We are now in the middle of the dull,
short days, when more common sense
must be exercised in the regulation of
temperature than at any season of the
year. It is quite a simple matter to
keep up a certain temperature, provided
the houses are well supplied with pipes
and ample heating power behind them,
but the trouble is that a given tempera-
ture is not what is necessary to pro-
mote the most healthy growth. The lack
of fresh air to strengthen the growth
makes it imperative that the forcing
process be limited according to the
amount of fresh air that can be given, so
that what growth the plants make will
be sufficiently strengthened for the best
development of the crop.

Scientists could no doubt tell us just
what component parts of th? air are

missing in a house filled with plants,
where fire heat is used to maintain a cer-
tain temperature, but where the amount
of fresh air is limited on account of
the coldness of the atmosphere outdoors.
But I must confess that I am no scien-
tist, and I hardly think there are many
employed in the forcing of vegetables.
Wider and more remunerative fields are
no doubt attracting their attention. Per-
haps this is our misfortune, and perhaps
if we could approach the matter from
a scientific point of view we would not
be a great deal better off than we are,
and we might not bo able to produce
any better results than we now can by
keeping hammering away by rule of
thumb, observing as closely as possible
the requirements of our plants, and do-
ing the best we can to strengthen their
weak points under whatever circum-
stances we find them.

Tf we find that the nlants are making^
a weak growth, that they are losing the
desired dark green color or the foliage
getting thin in texture; if the conditions
are so that we cannot admit sufficient
fresh air to adequately strengthen the
plants, it is better to begin at the other
end and reduce the amount of growth
by a reduction of the temperature until
more favorable conditions prevail. To
continue hard forcinjy against natural
conditi^ins is not only a waste of fuel
and energy but a serious detriment to
the health of the plants, leaving them
less fitted to respond to forcing when
more favorabl'* conditions prevail, be-

sides leaving them far more liable to
the attacks of diseases and insect ene-
mies.

Happily we are not liable to have pro-
tracted dull spells, even during the short
mid-winter days, but it does not take
many days of fire heat to weaken such
subjects as lettuce, and once weakened
they are sure to be attacked by leaf burn
whenever they are again subjected to
the flagging influence of sun heat.

W. S. Croydon,

COST OF FUMIGATING.

I should be obliged if Mr. Croydon
or some other reader would give the cost
of fumigating with hydrocyanic gas, and
if it is not dangerous to use in large
houses, being deadly poison. J. V. L'.

Siilfihuric acid costs about 30 cents
iper qivaTt and cyanide of potassium
about 6 cents per ounce. One quart of
acid and five ounces of cyanide would
cost about 60 cents and is sufficient for
4,000 cubic feet of space, which is quite
a good-sized liouso. To kill scale insects
and mealy bug it would require to be
nearly as strong again. In a large
3iouse, where several jars are needed, the
■cyanide can be safely dropped by hand
into the acid, provided it is wrapped in
two thicknesses of paper and paper and
all dropped in; it takes the acid a little
time to eat through the paper before it
can reach the cyanide. If the operator
begins at the farther end of the house,
drops the paper as quickly as possible
in the jars while making for the door,
there should be little danger of the gas
overtaking him. W. S. Croydon.

SOIL FOR TOMATOES.

According to many growers the char-
acter of the soil for forcing tomatoes i-?
not a matter of great importance. It is
necessary that there be good drainage,
but both light and heavy soils have
been used with good results. Neverthe-
less, those who get probably the best
results commonly use a light sandy
loam.

A compost — one used for many crops
— consisting of three parts light sandy
loam and one part well-rotted horse ma-
nure, serves very well for tomatoes.
The proportion of manure in the soil
has been considerably varied, but the
results do not appear to differ in pro-
portion to the variability of the com-
post. In addition to stable manure,
dried blood is often added to the com-
post at the rate of 100 pounds to every
five cubic yards of compost.

\Vhen good stable manure is not
avnilable for the compost an excellent
soil may be obtained, according to
Voorhees, by adding to every 100
square feet of bench the following fer-
tilizers: nitrate of soda, onc-h:^lf pound:
superphosphate, one pound; sulphate of
potash, one-half pound. This holds
good until the fruit liegins to form,
•when it is well to give one-fourth pound
of nitrate of soda every week, and
every two weeks one pound of super-
phosphate and one pound of sulphate
of potash. These may be applied in
solution, or sown broadcast between
the plants and well worked in before
•watering. Highly satisfactory results
have been obtained by using coal ashes
and five per cent of peat moss added
with various fertilizers. This method
has been productive of a yield of two

or more pounds of fruit per square foot
of bench surface.

It seems that there is but little dan-
ger of overfeeding the tomato. Still,
while abundant fertilizers may not be
injurious to the crop, there is a point
beyond which manuring is needless:
that is, feeding up to a certain point
produces a larger and better crop, but

beyond this, although the plant may
take up all that is offered without
diminishing the yield of fruit or even
injuring its quality, it is manifest that
feeding above this optimum point is
waste. Of course there is a point to go
beyond which it is not only waste, but
will result in injury to the crop. —

VANDA SANDERIANA.

The accompanying illustration of
Vanda Sanderiana is reproduced from a
photograph made in the greenhouses of
Harry G. Selfridge, at Lake Geneva,
"Wis., and the following note is supplied
by C. H. Gebhardt, the head gardener
there :

"The leaves are twelve to fifteen
inches long, one inch broad; seven to ten
flowers on the spike. The flowers are
three and one-half to four an one-half
inches in diameter, pale brown at the
base, the upper portion light purple,
bracts pale yellow green; sepals broadly
obovate, the dorsal delicate rose color
with white, the lateral tawny yellow with
red, petals colored like the dorsal sepal,
•with a tawny blotch, spotted red, lip
variable in color, dull tawny yellow,
streaked with red on the inner side. It
is from Davao, on the southeast coast of
Mindanao, Philippine Islands, and was
discovered by M. Roebelin in 1882 and
sent to Messrs. Sander & Co. It is a
very rare orchid. Some say that it is
extinct.

"Vanda Sanderiana produces the larg-
est flowers of any plant of the vanda
tribe. "We keep the vanda (or as it is
rightly named now, Esmaralda Sander-
iana), in the hottest part of the East
Indian house and give liberal water to
the roots. We always keep them suffi-
ciently moist to preserve the leaves from
turning yellow or shriveling. We give
them an equal mixture of osmunda roots
and live sphagnum moss and mix in a
few pieces of charcoal and pot shreds.
We grow them in baskets suspended
from the roof and give them rather little
shade. The less they have the better
they will flower."

AMONG THE GROWERS.

In the Boston EMstrict.

A considerable number of florists' es-
tablishments are to be found in the Dor-
chester district of Boston. Chances for
their expansion are lessening each year,
as the rapid spread of the city is en-
closing some of them to such an extent
that they must soon go farther afield.
Some of the growers sell practically all
their output at retail, while others whole-
sale everything. While none of the
plants are as extensive as some a little
further away from the city, in the ag-
gregate they cover a large area of glass.

Vanda Sanderiana*

More than one short day is needed to
visit these places and those omitted will
be looked up at a later date. The Dor-
chester florists seem to be a happy, con-
tented, industrious, and in most cases a
prosperous class. They seem to get a
good measure of enjoyment out of life
and verv naturally class their section as
on« of the best in the United States.

Samuel NieK

Our first call was at Samuel Kiel's,
on Washington street. Sam seems as
young and athletic as when we first met
him, some years ago. Two of his sons
are with him in the business and are
bright, hard workin*? young men. While
a variety of stock is grown here, carna-
tions are given the most space. Varie-
ties succeeding particularly well are
Ijawson, Fair Maid, Queen and Boston
Market. Some fine poinsettias were no-
ted in benches. Quite a number of aza-
leas are grown for retailing, including
a fine batch of that bright little variety.
Firefly, which is counted the best seller.
Roses, violets, palms and bedding stock
are handled, nearly everything being sold
at retail.

and Roosevelt are grown as crimsons.

at $10 per hundred to be profitable in
winter, as it was giving very few flow-
ers. Fair Maid, Enchantress, ^Irs. Pat-
ten and Lawson are other sorts grown.
One house is devoted to Princess of
Wales violets.

F. W. Holbrow.

F. W. Holbrow, on Harvard street,
brother to E. E. Holbrow, of Brighton,
has a nice, steam-heated plant. A house
of Brides and Bridesmaids 17x166 looked
well, as did a similar-sized^ one of car-
nations. Fair Maid, Wolcott, Lawson
and Queen were very good. In another
house, mostly planted with double vio-
lets and grown very cool, a bench of
Fair Maid carnations planted late were
noticeable for their large flowers, fine
color and stiff stems.

Patrick Boyle.

Patrick Boyle rents the C. V. Whitten
plant, at one time managed by Law-
rence Cotter. In the old range two
houses each of Carnot and Kaiserin
looked first-class. Two houses were de-
voted to Easter lilies and one to Car-
nation Boston Market. In the new ranges
two large houses each are filled with
Bride and Bridesmaid. All these were
in very fine condition. Several houses
are also devoted to carnations, prin-
cipally Lawson, Maeeo and Boston Mar-
ket. A house of Lawson grown inside
all summer was a mass of bloom and
the stems were double the length of those
grown outdoors during summer. Quite
a lot of bedding stock is raised here, also
Boston ferns and Asparagus plumosiis.
Mr. Boyle certainly has everything in
excellent shape here.

L. H. Foster Estate.

At the Lucius H. Foster place we
found Daniel E. Sullivan, who, with
Phili[) .1. McGrath, his partner, manages
this and the Thos. H. Meade place,
which they hire. They have about 35,-
000 s<]uare feet of glass in all. These
two obliging and hard working young
men seem to be doing well and their

stock is in fine condition. Boston ferns
are their leading specialty, house after
house being planted with them. Very
few of the variety Anna Foster are now
grown, on account of its variability, but
we noted 'some 400 plants of an extreme-
ly promising sport from that variety
with the characteristics of Anna Foster
at its best. Not a single frond has so
far shown any tendency to revert to the
Boston type. Trade in Boston ferns
has been extra good this season and
business very satisfactory. In addition
to ferns, palms and Dracaena Australis
are grown in quantity. About 125,000
bedding plants, such as geraniums, coleus
and altemantheras are provided for
spring sales. Everything on this estab-
lishment is sold at wholesale.

Thomas Stock.

Thomas Stock, on Minot street, has
two houses 35x135, snugly located on a
side hill. About 10,000 carnations are
grown. Flora Hill is considered the best
white and looked well, as did Fair
Maid and Lawson. Hardly any other
sorts are grown. Princess of "Wales and
Farquhar violets looked well, the last
named especially so. Cornflowers are
grown in considerable quantity and a
bench of pink bouvardia was in fine
shape for Christmas trade.

Hannan & Son.

William Hannan & Son have a fine,
up-to-date plant on Codman street. Heat-
ing here is all by steam. Three large
houses of Brides and Maids could hard-
ly have been better. Carnations filled
two houses, varieties grown being Fair
Maid, Lawson, Wolcott, Boston Market
and Boosevelt. These were all in fine
shape. Two divisions were devoted to
chrysanthemums. A good batch of that
fine old yellow variety, W. H. Lincoln,
would be just right for Christmas.

terprising firm has a large and increas-
ing plant trade, not only in Boston and
vicinity, but in quite distant points.
Palms are still one of their leading spe-
cialties and all the popular trade varie-
ties are grown in quantity. In addition
to Kentia Belmoreana and K. Forsteriana
and Areca lutescens, which are most
largely grown, smaller lots are seen of
a number of other sorts. Areca sapida
and Caryota majestica were especially
noteworthy. The last named is much
better than C. urens. Kentia Sanderiana
and K. McArthuri are classed as of
no value as trade varieties. A limited
sale is found for Phoenix rupicola and
P. Canariensis. Cocos Weddelliana in
small sizes is handled in quantity for
the center of fern dishes.

Dracsena terminalis is a popular sort
and batches of D. Godseffiana and Sander-
iana are also grown. Rubbers, arauca-
rias, crotons, Pandanus Veitchii and P.
utilis, aspidistras, Aralia Sieboldi varie-
gata and marantas are also grown. About
12,000 genistas in various sizes are
handled. Acacia armata is the only spe-
cies of that family grown. Azaleas are
one of the specialties for which this
firm is noted, 8,000 being disposed of
during the season. A house containing
1,200 was just in the right condition for
the Christmas trade. A few of the lead-
ing sorts grown are Vervseneana, Simon
Mardner, Professor Welters, Flambeau,
Deutsche Perle, Firefly, classed as the
best seller on the list; Mme. Van der
Cniyssen and Emperor de Brazil.

Several thousand lilies are grown for
Easter trade. A good lot of the butter-
cup primrose, probably a form of Primu-
la sikkimensis, was noted flowering with
great freedom. A starter in orchid cul-
ture was evidently a batch of that grand
winter flowering variety, Calanthe Veit-
chi. Small ferns in thousands are han-

GMuervatory of H. H. Rogers, Fairhaven, Mass.

Callas, stocks, stevia and a few other
catch crops are also grown.

Leuthy & Ca

The plant of A. Leuthy & Co. is not
in Dorchester, but it is only a short walk
from Dorchester to Boslindale. We
were fortunate in finding David Lums-
den, one of the firm, at home. This en-

dled for use in fern dishes, pteris in
variety being mostly handled. Every-
thing on this place refiected credit on
the two energetic members of the firm.
We expect to see them increase their
plant ere long. W. N. Cbaig.

The California tomato seed crop is
proving disappointing all around.

OIL KING^ GREENHOUSES.

The garden committee of the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society paid a
visit on November 2 to the green-
houses of H. H. Rogers, the well
known Standard oil magnate, of Fair-
haven, Mass., to inspect his house of
specimen chrysanthemums arranged
with foliage plants and entered for the
John A. Lowell special prize.

The house containing the plants was
seventy-five feet long and contained
some remarkably fine specimen plants,
which averaged five to six feet in di-
ameter. Some of the best varieties in
the collection were W, H. Lincoln, Mu-
tual Priend, Dr. Enguehard, which
makes a beautiful specimen plant;
General Maceo, a fine crimson; Wm. B.
Church, Calvat's 99, Columbia and
Kate Broomhead. A large quantity of
plants were grown in 6-inch pots, carry-
ing one flower each, and were well done.

Victoria, a seedling anemone, raisea
by Mr. Garthley, the head gardener to
Mr. Bogers, and certificated in Boston on
November 19, was much admired.
Some fine plants of the popular Garza
were also seen. Mr. Rogers opened
his greenhouses to the public for sev-
eral days during the second week in
November and a large number of resi-
dents in Fairhaven and New BedfortJ
availed themselves of the opportunity
to view the collection. W. N. C.

SHA\rS GARDEN.

The following is an extract from a
paper by Wilhelm Miller read at the
meeting held at St. Louis early in No-
vember for the inception of National
Council of Horticulture: ~

Henry Shaw was an Englishman who
made a fortune in the hardware business
in St. Louis, retired early, made the most
famous private garden between the Miss-
issippi and the Pacific coast, and got
from a return trip to England the idea
of an institution in St. Louis, like Kew,
the most famous botanical garden in the
world. The time was not ripe for a
great scientific institution. There waa
no first class university in St. Louis, nor
in the prairie states for that matter, with
which the garden could be advantageous-
ly connected, for Washington University
was then a small affair and not very
promising, although it has developed so
astonishingly in the last five years that
it is now rapidly forging to the front.
Doubtless Mr. Shaw was wise in prefer-
ring to have the garden pay $25,000 a
year taxes than to dwarf the enterprise
by making it a mere annex of a strug-
gling young college. The history of the
first agricultural college in the world, the
one at Michigan, shows the same thing,
for it would never have amounted to
anything as a department of the state
university, since the agricultural college
was a protest against the classical edu-
cation of the day and one of the first
expressions of a desire for technical
training in the practical business of life.
It was the misfortune of Mr. Shaw 's time
and place that he could not make a suc-
cessful triangular bargain with a college
and the city, so that he could not get
the peculiar multiplying value that comes
from such a junction of forces.

Nevertheless, the Missouri Botanical
Garden has made a splendid showing.
The one thing that the horticultural vis-
itor to the World's Fair cannot afford
to miss, is a visit to the Garden. He can

well afford to omit the Pike in its favor.
He will be too late to see the showy out-
door features, but he will find that every
greenhouse has a theme of its own, one
house being devoted to orchids, another
to acadaa, another to century plants, and
for eT9ry man in this audience it is the
chance of a life-time to see a big coUee-
tion of cacti and other desert plants. The
visitor will see the great botanical and
horticultural library of 36,000 volumes,
including the wonderful collection of
herbals and pre-Linnean works given by
Dr. Sturtevant, formerly director of the
New York Experiment Station ; the her-
barium of 400,000 specimens, which will
settle for you any troublesome question
about a species that you are likely to
have. You will get some glimpse into
the wonderful method of working and
note-taking which enabled the leading
German physician in St. Louis, Dr. En-
gelmann, to achieve a world-wide reputa-
tion in botany and to earn the title of
"the most painstaking botanist America
has ever known. ' ' You may see the val-
uable work which is being carried on in
diseases of trees and the preservation
of railroad and ship timbers in co-opera-
tion with the United States Department
of Agriculture.

There is so much to see that the visitor
may be tempted to omit the training
school for gardeners, but anyone who
can see with the eye of imagination
should not fail to catch a glimpse of the
two great new plantings in which hardy
trees and shrubs will predominate, sixty
acres of which will be a North American
tract, representing the passing botanical
system of Bentham and Hooker, while
eighty acres will be devoted to the com-
iijg system of Engler and Prantl.

One phase of the Missouri Botanical
Garden is sure to strike every visitor. It
is no cold-blooded, abstract institution,
with no care for the real wants of the
people, but a place that is full of the
personality of a man with good red blood
in his veins. Here is the man's country

house, just as it was in his lifetime, his
city house moved thence and set up again
to serve as herbarium and office, his veg-
etable garden, his smoke-house, where he
prepared his own hams, and a hundred
other things that speak of a gentleman's
estate. Henry Shaw liked flowers and
lots of them and he fixed it in his will
so that there would be plenty of flowers
for the people, arranged in forms that
they can really enjoy. If you despise
carpet bedding, barely tolerate parterre
work and take only the mildest interest
in formal gardening of every kind, it is
because you have not visited Shaw's
Garden and seen some really good exam-
ples. Is it any wonder that Shaw 's Gar-
den has a unique place in the affections
of the people of St. Louis? The horti-
cultural visitor who comes out of the
World's Fair and inquires of the near-
est policeman or citizen the way to the
Missouri Botanical Garden is likely to
be answered with, "Oh, you mean
Shaw's Garden. "Why, you take the Olive
Street car to Vandeventer and take a
south bound car marked Shaw's Gar-
den." There could be no surer sign
that this scientific institution is in close
touch with the people.

But this very warmth of personality
which makes every visitor's heart kindle
toward the place is itself a limitation to
a certain extent. Henry Shaw made mis-
takes. He was shrewd enough about the
things of his own time, but he could not
foresee the future any more than we can.
Perhaps there were good reasons in his
time for not letting the people enjoy the
garden on Sundays, but there is no good
reason for it to-day save the dead hands
that reach out of the past and keep the
gates shut except for two Sundays dur-
ing the summer, when by the provisions
of the will the public may enter. Forty-
three thousand persons did enter Shaw's
Garden on those two Sundays last year.
Again, Henry Shaw believed that the
best way for the garden to make money
was to hold forever all the lands he gave

it and not part with any portion of it
only on long-term leases. He could not
foresee that a certain part of that prop-
erty could never be made to yield an
income on that basis. Fortunately the
courts have allowed the Garden to sell
this portion and invest the money in a
more profitable way, so that the income
of the Garden is greatly increased, a re-
sult which Henry Shaw would never have
deprecated.

ST. LOUIS.

Qub Meeting.

The December meeting of the Florists '
Club Thursday afternoon, December 8,
while not so largely attended as was
expected, proved very interesting. The
meeting was called to order by ex-Presi-
dent Beneke, as President Juengel was
reported sick and "Vice-President Pilcher
al»ent, but the latter took the chair
later and filled it in an able manner.
Three new members were elected. Swan
Peterson, of Gibson City, 111.; C. C.
Sanders and F. H. Weber. The trustees
were not ready to report on the list of
essays and were given until the next
meeting.

After the regular business of the
meeting was transacted the question came
up as to what disposition should be
made of the money left over from the
guarantors' fund of the S. A. F. con-
vention. After heated argument it was
decided that the money should be paid
back to the members in proportion to
their subscriptions. The treasurer's re-
port showed that the club is in fine shape
financially, also in membership. The
chair appointed a committee of three
to ascertain how many members will at-
tend the carnation meeting at Chicago
next month, also to look up best possible
rates. The committee is J. J. Beneke,
F. M. Ellis and J. F. Ammann, and will
report at the next meeting, which will
be held January 12, at 2 o'clock, at

which time a discussion i^ invited on
Christmas business by some of the lead-
ing retailers and wholesalers. An exhi-
bition of new carnations is also expected.

The Market.

Trade during the past week was soine-
what quiet, many of our retailers com-
plaining. Shipping orders with the
wholesalers are, however, up to the
average. Some of our west end florists
report quite a few Christmas orders al-
ready placed.

From advance price lists for Christ-
mas flowers it looks as though stock
is going to be high priced. As to sup-
ply, we are still in doubt at this writ-
ing. There is sure to be a better supply
of carnations this year. These flowers
are at present plentiful and of fine
quality and prices continue good. Roses,
too, are in abundance just now, especi-
ally Bride and. Maid. Some extra fine
Liberty and Meteor are also in; Golden
Gate and Carnot not so many. Beau-
ties are scarce, that is, in the long, fancy
grades.

There are plenty of double and Cali-
fornia violets in the market, with the
demand a little slow last week, quality
extra fine. Good valley holds up in price.
Romans are very plentiful and so are
Paper Whites. Harrisii and callas con-
tinue to improve in quantity. There is
plenty of good smilax to be had, also
other greens.

Orders for Christmas greens are re-
ported good. Some very fine holly and
mistletoe are in the market. Lycopodium
is reported scarce, commission men hold-
ing out for $6 and $7 per crate of 100
pounds. Holly is $5 per case.

Various Notes.

George M. Kellogg was in town Thurs-
day to attend the Florists' Club's meet-
ing. Mr. Kellogg reports trade fine at
his place, with plenty of shipping orders
for the holidays.

Wm. Winter, Henry Berning and F.
W^ Ude, Jr., were out visiting the craft
in St. Louis county the past week.

A. Jablonsky is again in line with a
fine lot of Begonia Gloire de Lorraine,
for which he has a big shipping trade,
alEo supplying the local trade for
Christmas.

Fred Ammann, of Edwardsville, and
Henry Johann, of Collinsville, HI., at-
tended the Florists' Club's meeting last
week. Both are shippers to this market.

E. W. Guy and Henry Emmons, of
Belleville, 111., were also oh hand at the
meeting. Both report good local trade
in cut flowers.

The Bentzen Commission Co. is hand-
ling some extra fine holly, mistletoe, ly-
copodium and other Christmas greens.

Wm. Bouche, the landscape gardener,
has plenty of work on hand for the
Park View Real Estate Co. and Rich-
mond Heights Co., which are laying out
large plats of ground near the World's
Fair.

Wm. Jjorenzen, of the Park Floral
Co., reports trade good in funeral work
and plants.

C. Young & Sons Co. is showing a fine
lot of blooming plants at the store on
Olive Ptreet. Business in fall bulbs has
been brisk.

Miss Theresa Badaracco reports a big
run on funeral work the past week. Trade
is also good in cut flowers and bunches.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

The supply of cut flowers has been
further reduced by the severe weather,
which has set in early this season. The
week opened with the thermometer 2 de-
gres above zero. On Sunday morning
another snow storm followed, interfering
considerably with business. Prices are
higher on choice stock. Roses and car-
nations are in demand. Violets and val-
ley sell slowly, while Romans and Paper
Whites are overdone.

Leo Niessen, in discussing the outlook
for Christmas business, said he believes
the supply of flowers will be very large,
despite unfavorable weather; that the de-
mand will equal the supply, at prices
which, on roses at least, will not be
higher than last season.

A Notable Dinner.

The dinner given at the Bellevue-
Stratford at noon, last Saturday by
Thomas Dolan, to the Contemporary
Club, was a remarkable aflfair. The
table was laid in the clover room, the
guests, 200 in number, being seated
around the outside of a hollow oval. The
open space in the center was about 30x70

Godfrey Aschmann.

I met David Rust the other day in
front of the Cut Flower Co. 's place on
Sansom street. "Oh, by the way," he
said, with one of those joyous smiles
of his, "you must go yp and see God-
frey Aschinann." A few days later the
fhief sent this laconic order, "Call on
Godfrey Aschmann," Now, when the
opposition and the government do chance
to agree on anything, that thing is pretty
sure to happen, so putting aside the prom-
ised visit to John A. Shellem, I repaired
forthwith to 1012 Ontario street. God-
frey Aschmann was at home and very
courteously conducted his visitor through
his greenhouses. The Christmas stock,
consisting of araucarias, ficus, azaleas,
solanums, Boston ferns, primroses, etc.,
has evidently been going out rapidly.
There are still quite a number left, but
not more than seems probable will be re-
quired in the remaining days before
Christmas. There was a clean, nicely
budded lot of azaleas being carried cool
for Easter, also a large block of lilies
carefully labeled with size and name of
grower to test their quality. Most of
them were healthy, stocky-looking plants,
nicely started. Cinerarias will form a
very important part of the place during

feet, laid out as a park, with trees, deer
and blooming plants. The effect was
very striking. Poinsettias, Easter lilies.
Beauties and choice ferns were \ised in
masses. The boutonnieres were Pros-
perity carnations, very appropriate for
so successful a body of men. The work
was executed by J. J. Habermehl 's Sons.

Christmas Flowers.

The experience of past years has
shown that there is usually an excellent
demand from December 19 to 22, to
which the supply has not been equal, that
from December 23 to 25 many stale flow-
ers have come to market that have been
sold at low prices or wasted entirely. It
is necessary for the grower to hold back
a day's cut, or even two days', before
Christmas. But the grower who does
more than this is simply throwing away
money, besides doing his business a dis-
tinct injury.

the next few months. So also will the
Dutch roots and bulbs. Three of the
houses have been rebuilt with Lord &
Burnham material, as previously men-
tioned in this column. The thing that
most impressed me about Godfrey Asch-
mann's place was Godfrey Aschmann
himself, the pluck, perseverance and
shrewdness that has enabled him to carry
on so large a business. His orders have
come from as far west as California and
Oklahoma and embrace nearly all the
central states, as well as those of the
eastern seaboard.

BOSTON.

The Market.

We are now having very cold weather,
winter having apparently started in good
earnest. Conditions in the market show
no important changes since our last re-
port. The cold weather has hurt busi-
ness to some extent, retailers purchasing
more sparingly. This was particularly
noticeable on Saturday. There is little
change in the price of roses. Best
Brides and Bridesmaids clean out at
$12.50 per hundred. Carnations sell at $3
to $4 for select stock, some extra fancies
bringing up to $6. Prospects are for a
comparatively light crop of these for
Christmas. Violets are ratRer scarce and
clean out readily. The best poinsettias
have brought $6 per dozen. Quite a
number of Lilium Harrisii are now
coming in, E. N. Peirce & Co. bringing
the largest quantity to the Park street
market. Mignonette is- selling at higher

BUFFALO.

During the past week one of Buffalo 's
most popular business banks was forced
to close its doors. Many of the Buffalo
florists were among the 8,000 depositors,
but none were so unfortunate as to be
heavy losers. We hd^ this will have
no bad effect on the Christmas trade
but with 8,000 depositors and six mil-
lions deposits it is sure to cause some
effect.

The flower stores are' filled with the
Christmas novelties and all things point
to a good Christmas. The main show is
mostly made up of Lorraine and poin-
settias. A great many baskets are be-
ing used, especially the moss work.

We are receiving very few visitors at
the present time. Mrs. Walker and Mc-
Lean, of Youngstown, spent a few days
here last week. Mr, Peterson returned

rates, the most select going for $8 per
hundred. Paper White and double Ro-
man narcissi and Roman hyacinths sell
rather slowly, as does bouvardia. Stevia
is in good demand. Green stock is un-
changed. A good many holly and other
wreaths, with a variety of other Christ-
mas greenery, are now coming in.

White for improvement in native grapes
and H. A. Stevens Co. for house of
mushrooms. The estate of Mrs. J. L,
Gardner entered for the Hunnewell tri-
ennial premium for first year was fa-
vorably reported on.

The Stevens Place.

The garden committee on December 9
visited the establishment of H. A. Stev-
ens Co., Dedham, to inspect their cel-
lar of mushrooms. The cellar utilized
for mushroom culture covers about 2,000
square feet. American pure culture
spawn is used exclusively, and the re-
sults certainly justify the selection, for
the beds were simply white with mush-
rooms in various stages of development
and the members of the committee were
\inanimous in pronouncing the crop far
the best they had ever seen. Mr. Stevens
states that the temperature of the cellar
varies from 50 to 54 degrees and, while
the mushrooms do not grow so quickly
in this temperature, they are harder and
better for marketing than when grown
warmer.

An inspection of the houses of carna-
tions grown by the firm was also made,
all the plants beine in fine condition.
Fair Maid, Mrs. Patten, Enchantress,
Lawson and other leading sorts are
grown. Several good seedlings are also
under trial.

Various Notes. *

The Boston Co-operative Flower Mar-
ket, better known as the "new market,"
will offer prizes for the following at the
exhibition at Horticultural Hall" on Feb-
ruary 11. Fifty Carnation Fair Maid.
twenty-five carnations, any variety not
in commerce ; twenty-five red roses, Amer-
ican Beauty included; 100 Princess of
Wales violet, 100 Campbell violet, 100
sweet peas, twenty-five spikes mignon-
ette. These added to the prizes offered
by the society and the members of the
Park Street Market will insure a fine
winter show.

Latest reports from J. T. Butterworth
were rather more encouraging and his
many friends hope that the worst is
now over and that he may soon be
strong enough to be removed to his home.

showed two seedling carnations at the
new market on December 10 which at-
tracted much favorable notice. One is
a pure white seedling from Prosperity,
about four inches in diameter. The
other is a dark pink variety, a cross
between Lawson and another of his
own seedlings. The flower is over three
inches in diameter, finely fringed and
has a delightful odor. Each of these
is likely to be heard from in the fu-
ture.

E. N. Peirce & Co. have a new scarlet
seedling carnation, Lawson x Crane, with
an improved Crane flower and Lawson
habit, which seems likely to be a winner.
They have about 400 plants and intend
to cut all these down for propagating
purposes after Christmas.

The new market managers want to
impress the fact upon visitors that
theirs is purely a wholesale market and
have just had large signs prominently
placed with the wordipg, "Positively no
flowers sold at retail."

Robert Montgomery is bringing in
some fine Mrs. Oliver Ames roses to the
new market These sell readily at $6
to $8 per 100.

Gardeners' Qub.

The attendance at the next meeting of
the Gardeners' and Florists' Club is
likely to be a record breaking one, unless
all signs fail. Numerous proposals for
membership will be presented. Quite a
number of rose and carnation novelties
will be shown, including Richmond rose,
Fiancee and other new carnations and
other interesting flowers. E. G. Hill, of
Richmond, Ind., has been one of our
visitors during the present week and
has been looking up some of our leading
carnation, rose and chrysanthemum
specialists. Probably he may remain
over until our next club meeting, which
would give him just time to get home
for Christmas.

David Lumsden, of A. Leuthy & Co.,
will be the speaker at the club meeting
on December 20, his subject being
"Ferns." Indications point to a good
delegation visiting Framingham on the
next field day, December 17. Members
will go by Boston and Worcester air
line electric, leaving Park Square at
12:45 p. m.

H. M. Robinson & Co., on Province
street, are doing a big business in
Christmas greens at present and carry
an enormous stock of holly, box green
and laurel, as well as immense quantities
of galax leaves, smilax and hardy ferns.

Prospects are good for Christmas flow-
er trade. If too much of the pickling
process is not tried growers will be
abl» to sell out everything in sight, as
some crops promise to be comparatively
light at that time. W. N. Ckaig.

BAY QTY, MICH.

With an abundant crop of roses, car-
nations and violets in sight for Christ
mas, Boehringer Bros, are by no means
worried over the prospects. Business,
in fact, was brisk all through the sea-
son, stock of all kinds selling readily at
fair prices. A bench of poinsettias in
full bloom, with stems nearly touching
the glass, is one of the interesting siglits
on the place. What is equally interest-
ing to the proprietors is the fact of the
entire lot being sold weeks in advanco.

Another attractive feature on the place
is a house of seedling carnations of vari-
ous sizes and colors, which for quantity

of bloom surpass the few standard vari-
eties, such as Lawson, Enchantress and
Flora Hill. Although no exhibition vari-
eties, they are money makers, a thing
worthy of consideration. Chrysanthe-
mums sold well and more will be grown
next season.

There will be extensive alterations and
improvements made on t^e place in the
early spring, chief of which will be the
rebuilding of three houses, each to be
lengthened 100 feet. X.

NEW YOEK.

TheMailKt

A week of cold weather wa3 followed on
Monday by a downfall of the beautiful
that presages an old-fashioned Christmas.
The market has been holding up its head
and putting on airs accordingly. Retail
stores are alive with business and busy
with preparation for what promises to be
a record Christmas. The men who buy
flowers have been making money.

The daily demand cleans out the supply
of roses that now reach the market. If
a healthy, natural and daily shipment is
made for Christmas, growers, wholesalers
and retailers will all be satisfied. But it
is too much to hope for. Experience
teaches year after year and still the
growers pickle. If the wholesalers wiU
unite loyally to each other's interests to
stamp out this practice by refusing to
accept kept-over goods or marking such
shipments "unsalable" on their returns,
one such lesson would open blind eyes.

The indications now are for a demand
which will take everything good at good
prices. Roses have all advanced and are
already close to Christmas values. Car-
nations are abundant, but prices are at
an encouraging standard. All the nov-
elties are in great demand, Enchantress,
Victory, Prosperity and Robert Craig es-
pecially. A few good chrysanthemums
remain. Doubtless a few will hold until
the holidays. Lilies sold as high as 20
cents each during the week. Violets
hold steady at $1 to $1.50 for the best,
the latter price being reached but sel-
dom and only for specials in bunches of
100. The prospect is for an abundant
supply for the holidays.

The general demand for orchids is on
the increase. Calls are made on the
New York wholesalers from all the large
cities. A wonderful increase 'in their
popularity is developing. Cattleyas in
some cases brought $1 each this ' week
and it looks as though the retailers who
want a supply for Christmas would act
wisely by placing orders without delay.

No plant this year seems to be so
universally popular as Begonia Gloire de
Lorraine. Every window is now full of
them. The great supply prepared for
the New York market by the Cottage
Gardens, Julius Roehrs and other plant
experts of this vicinity will be com-
pletely depleted. The grand display of
this plant in all sizes at Mr. Ward 's, fill-
ing house after house, was one of the
most interesting features of the New
York Club's outing.

Qub Meeting.

The final meeting of the Florists'
Club for 1904 was held on Monday even-
ing. President Traendly in the chair.
Notwithstanding a miniature blizzard, the
attendance numbered over eighty and it
was one of the most interesting meet-
ings of the club's history. The com-
mittee of awards brought in its several

reports conferring certificates of merit
upon Victory, Lieut. Peary, Robert
Craig and Phyllis.

E. J. Taylor, Southport, Conn., was
elected a member and Robert Simpson,
Geo. Darsley, M. Matheson, C. H. Totty,
John ZoUer and Jas. Hart, Jr., were
proposed. Secretary Young was called
upon for a report of the club's outing
at Cottage Gardens and gave an inter-
esting address. Mr. O'Mara also paid
tribute to the kindness of Mr. and Mrs.
Ward and a vote of thanks was given
for their delightful hospitality. After
Mr. Bumie, Mr. Langjahr, Mr. Butter-
field and Mr. Elliott withdrew as candi-
dates, the election of officers proceeded,
with the following result: President..
F. H. Traendly; vice-president, J. A.
Shaw; secretary, John Young; treasurer,
C. W. Weathered ; trustees, W. F. Sher-
idan, John Scott, Alex. Burns, L. B.
Craw, J. I. Raynor. Beginning with the
president, each was called on for a
speech, those who were re-elected mod-
estly giving credit to the membership
itself for the year's success, the others
pledging their best efforts. J. B. Nu-
gent addressed the club, humorously
summing up his commissary contribu-
tions of turkey and champagne as a
"dose of indigestion." The vote of
thanks he received was very enthusiastic.

The resignation of one of the club's
oldest and most honored members, John
Morris, was accepted with regret. A
letter frojn Henri Beaulieu was referred
to the trustees. The announcement of
the death of Mrs. Henry Hentz, mother
of Henry Hent^ Jr., of Summit, N. J.,
was made and F^ L. Moore, H. Beaulieu
and S. C. Nash were appointed to draw
up resolutions of sympathy. Messrs.
Haffner, Sheridan and Weatiiered were
appointed a committee to arrange for
the club's annual dinner.

All the exhibits of the evening were
highly commendable. Benj, Dorrance,
of Dorranceton, Pa., staged Rose No.
6, a light pink, resembling Perle in bud
and stem. The E. G. Hill Co. had Rich-
mond and Rosalind Orr English. The
new rose, Wellesley, from the Waban
Rose Conservatories, of Natick, Mass.,
was also shown. Among the carnations
were Fiancee, Lady Bountiful, Eclipse,
Victory, Lieutenant Peary and Robert
Craig. Mr. Ward also showed two un-
named seedlings. Geranium Telegraph
was shown by DeVoy So Son, of Pough-
keepsie.

A. J. Guttman read a paper giving the
history of Victory and detailing its good
qualities. An interesting address was
made by E. G. Hill, who received a cor-
dial welcome from the club. He com-
mended the exhibit in the club's meet-
ings and gave good accounts of the west-
ern flower shows. Mr. Duckham endorsed
the remarks of Mr. Hill and commended
especially the American Beauty exhibit
at St. Louis. He also referred to Mr.
Hill's modesty in making no reference
to Richmond, which he had seen at head-
quarters and for which he predicted a
great future. Mr. Dorrance saia Rich-
mond is the best red rose that has been
produced in America. He asked the club
to take more interest in the Rose Soci-
ety. Mr. May spoke of the Wellesley
rose and its keeping quality and Mr.
DeVoy dilated upon the many merits of
his geranium.

possible, was a red letter day in every
respect. A special train carried over
■eighty to Cottage Gardens, where the
day was spent in visiting the houses of
carnations, Gloire de Lorraine begonias,
the nursery, the cold storage houses and
All the other interesting features of this
great enterprise. Mr. O'Mara made an
•eloquent address in presenting the thanks
of the crowd to Mr. and Mrs. Ward for
their hospitality, to which Mr. Ward hap-
pily responded, according much that was
being accomplished to the faithful co-
operation of his assistants, of whom J.
-C. Gowing, the secretary and treasurer
-of the company, and M. Matheson are
especially worthy of appreciation. A
bountiful repast was provided.

Various Notes.

N. Lecakes & Co. have their Christmas
branch this year at 37 West Twenty-
eighth street, close to Broadway, where
their windows are made very attractive
with bell decorations. Their wholesale cut
flower department is proving a genuine
success.

Messrs. Kreshover, Fellouris, Cotsonas
& Co., the Kervan Co., Herrmann, Han-
fling & Kleppner and all the supply
houses are simply overwhelmed with
business. All say it is the greatest year
they have ever experienced and at the
present rate of demand there will be
little of anything to shelve. Geo. Cot-
sonas & Co. have a large force at work
night and day.

Sigmund Geller is delighted with the
■establishment of his headquarters on the
ground floor. Not only has he found it
an advantage in artistic window decor'i-
tion, but his many customers appreciate
the facilities for rapid selection.

Schloss Bros, made special prepara-
tions for Christmas and report a season
of unequalled prosperity.

Lion & Wertheimer number among
their patrons hundreds of the leading
florists of the country, but their florists'
■department is only a small part of their
«rtensive ribbon business.

The Hinode Co., with headquarters at
Whitestone, is now ready for Christmas,

both at the new houses and at Woodside.
They have a grand stock of lilies, aza-
leas, ardisias and Japanese novelties.

Guttmann & Weber report many orders
for Victory in 5,000 and 10,000 lots. It
is not to be sent out for a year.

Charles ^lillang has excellent facili-
ties for handling and exhibiting his
stock, both cut flowers and blooming
plants. The plant department was- an
instant success.

.Tas. A. Hammond's Christmas would
not be complete if he did not sell 1,000
orange trees. He has them, or had them
before the orders began to arrive. He
had booked over half of them a week
ago.

Traendly & Schenck are closing a ban-
ner year. Their new store proves none
too large for their enormous business.
Chatenay and Uncle John roses are
among their specialties.

Jos. S. Fenrich has adopted a good
motto, "The reliable house," and is
building fast on that foundation.

James Hart seems happy to be at the
old stand again. Since 1871 he has held
the fort. His son James, Jr., is a pop-
ular lieutenant and there is no reason
why 1971 should not see the pioneer's
name perpetuated.

W^e were indebted to J. K. Allen for
the carnation list of Thanksgiving sup-
ply. In fact he had every kind enumer-
ated on sale and will have again for
Christmas. They talk of running him
for mayor over in Jersey, where he
sleeps.

The Beauty king anticipates no sur-
plus of fine roses for Christmas. The
record here is 12,000 Beauties in a day,
but it will not be Christmas, 1904, when
it is beaten.

W. H. Gunther is preparing for his
usual violet business during the holidays.
His business during 1904 was ahead of
any previous year and he takes a very
optimistic view of the future.

Everything in roses, carnations and
violets is on exhibition, as usual, at Ford
Bros., violets without limit.

The Queen of Edgley is handled by

Moore, Hentz & Nash and the supply
never approaches the demand for it.

A. H. Langjahr is handling a fine
grade of carnations and roses and antic-
ipates by far his largest Christmas. Mrs.
Langjahr, while making her holiday pur-
chases last week, was relieved of her
purse containing her watch and money.
Mrs. Juuus Kretchmar, of West Nyack,
aunt of Mr. Langjahr, has undergone a
successful surgical operation.

A. L. Young & Co. are progressing
and Mr. Young seems quite encouraged
by the generous recognition he has re-
ceived.

George Saltford's new store proves
none too large for his increasing busi-
ness. It has doubled in 1904. Clarence
Saltford is an able vice-admiral.

John J. Perkins is receiving steady
supplies of cypripediums.

Bonnot Bros, are shipping daily to
Pennsylvania towns.

Prank Millang has always a good sup-
ply at his comer in the Cut Flower Ex-
change. The new rule adopted lately
closes the exchange promptly at 5 p. m.
Phil Kessler is now in charge and the
new oflBce and ice box are metropolitan.

Walter Sheridan keeps on the even
tenor of his way unrufBed by market
fluctuations.

At John I. Raynor's, Croweanum still
finds a resting place, but it doesn't rest
long. The demand for it grows.

The output of the Cottage Gardens is
at John Young's, as usual. Mr. Ward
has a great supply for this seasan, as th?
cuting showed.

AVm. Ghormley reports 1904 a record
breaker in every way. Renewed health
and increasing numbers in the growing
department indicate a continuance of
thfi wear's prosperity.

The orchid record for 1904 is history.
Th(> popularity of the flower has won-
derfully increased and the demand grows
constantly. Among others, with a com-
niei'dalle insistency, Jas. McManus has
done his share to emphasize the impor-
tance of the orchid and to popularize it.
Hi.; trade has increased with his enter-
prise.

H. H. Berger & Co. have re-incorporat-
ed under the present lirm name, which
has leen in use since 1878. The same
conservative management as heretofore
will be in charge. The members of the
firm are H. H. Berger, H. B. Berger
and John Graham.

One of Eeed & Keller 's Christmas spe-
cislties not before mentioned is rock
ver.-ugris green work in all varieiios of
foiTO. Their business they declare to be
the largest in their career.

Krick's new store at 1164 Greene
avenue, Brooklyn, is very convenient and
the manufacture of his letters and other
novelties and inventions goes and grows
merrily on.

W. H. Siebrecht, of Astoria, is now
shipping daily to Alex J. Guttnian, of
West Twenty-ninth street, valley, lij'a-
cinths and other bulbous stock.

Young & Nugent have a very beautiful
window for the holidays. They are
handling exceptionally fine roses and
orchids and their new store is proving
a most satisfactory enterprise.

Crawbuck & Wiles are now permanent-
ly established at 370 Pearl street,
Brooklyn, a fine central locality. They
have a large supply of princess' pine, a
scarce article across the bridge.

Hicks & Crawbuck, the only florists'
supply house in Brooklyn, report a large
trade in this line, ks well as in cut
flowers.

Wm. H. Kuebler, at 19 Boerum place,
Brooklyn, at Langjahr's old stand, has
just installed a new ice box and com-
pleted a new office and is doing well.
Two of his brothers are associated with
him.

The F. R. Pierson Co. is much pleased
by the reception given their new fern,
Elegantissima. Its record at the show
is certainly a credit to the firm.

W. E. Marshall & Co. are now estab-
lished in their new quarters, 146 West
Twenty-third street. They handle seeds,
plants and bulbs and have a fine loca-
tion.

The Review's New York representa-
tive had much to be thankful for at
Thanksgiving and he wishes for all his
friends and patrons as merry a Christ-
mas and as happy a New Year as his
own. J. Austin Shaw.

BEST IN CIRCULATION.

Enclosed find check to cover bill. Had
very good success; sold out everything

CHICAGO.

The Market.

Demand has been slow the past week
but receipts have been light, so that val-
ues have been well maintained and ad-
vancing on certain lines. The call from
out of town continues to take a general
line of stock, except valley, Paper Whites
and Romans, which are not wanted, but
city business has been largely in the line
of funeral work; consequently white
carnations have at times been hard to
find.

Receipts of roses increased to a con-
siderable extent last week, but Beauties
do not come under this head. They are
still below the demand and prices work-
ing toward the holiday level. Brides and
Maids are of a quality to afiford greatest
satisfaction. Some good Liberty are seen
but cuts are decreasing, except with
two or three exceptionally fortunate
growers who bid fair to hit Christmas
just right. Very fine Chatenay are of-
fered, likewise Uncle John.

Carnations are in increasing supply,
except white, but receipts are irregular,
presaging stocking up for Christmas.
When the growers interrupt the ?egular
daily shipments it always happens that
they ship on the days of light demand
and do not ship the day the market is
full of orders. Hudson river violets are
not reaching this market so heavily as
last season, the result of better values
in New York, but sell well. Singles do
fairly but Campbell again has slow
sale. Mignonette is received in fair
quantitv and prices vary greatly, as
does the quality. SteHa is abundant.

"Green goods" are plentiful but gen-
erally makiug good prices.

Christmas Prospects.

There is improved prospect for
Christmas crops. Beauties, Liberties
and red carnations are pretty sure to
be short. Maids are likely to be fairly
plentiful. Carnations give every indica-
tion of exceeding previous anticipations
by a large degree and other items are
likely to be equal to the very large de-
mand which is already being felt in ad-
vance orders. There will be enough vio-
lets if the growers do not hold them
back too long. The price lists, however,
are all "subject to change without no-
tice."

E. C. Amling calls attention to the fact
that white carnations, and to a lesser
extent Bride roses, are never wanted for
Christmas and hang on until everything
else is gone. He believes growers will
get the most money out of this stock by
sending it in right along, for there will
be little stock in market for the next
week.

Holiday Greens,

There is now a •very active demand
for both Ijouquet green and holly. There
is enough lycopodium but good prices
are being cheerfully paid, as it is all
in competent hands. Holly averages no
more than satisfactory quality although
now and then a car of really high grade
arrives. Prices are well maintained for
up to this writing South Water street
has not had its usual consignments, part-
ly because neither railroads nor ship-
pers made money on holly last year.
Barnard & Co. have their usual big force
at work winding green and making
wreaths. A look at the stock passing
in and out would indicate that trade re-

quirements are large but can be fully
met.

Various Notes. ''•

J. A. Budlong looks for a big Christ*
mas business, the Beauties and Maids
being in good crop for the holiday. Their
Enchantress carnations are also in ex*
ceptionally good shape. Mr. Shoup,
who manages the selling end, reports a
big shipping demand right along.

E. C. Amling is handling considerable
quantities of bouvardia.

The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. reports
the new aster going to the ends of the
earth next month. They have received
many orders from far distant points, to
which the fame of the variety spread
last sumhier. The crop of seed came up
from New Castle last week and will soon
be ready for distribution.

Kennicott Bros. Co. reports that
mahonia leaves are going very well. They
are very graceful, serviceable in a great
many ways and keep indefinitely. They
first introduced mahonia about five years
ago but found only small sale for them;
by now, however, the retailers have awak-
ened to their usefulness.

Weiland & Risch are cutting Brides
and Maids with stems like Beauties.

E. F. Winterson Co. has filled all the
vacant space to be found in their place
with girls making wreaths and wreath-
ing, for which they report a big demand.

M. Winandy is reaping the reward of
a season 's work in a big cut of roses
and carnations when they are most
wanted.

Gus Alles, of Wietor Bros.' city sales-
room, whom everybody likes, has the
sympathy of all in the loss of his five-
weeks old baby, who died on Sunday.

E. H. Hunt was first in the field with
a calendar for 1905. It was mailed
with the catalogue of Christmas goods;
each was a very handsome piece of
printing.

The Florists' Club met last Thursday
night. Little was done beyond appoint-
ing committees to take charge of the
club's activities this season.

Emil Buettner was down town on Mon-
day for the first time since his opera-
tion for appendicitis.

George Rein berg's cut of Beauties is
nearly all in the very first letters of the
alphabet.

N. J. Wietor says he expects a good
Christmas supply of roses.

Orchids are reported short crop for
Christmas. McKellar says the demand
is heavy.

Peter Reinberg, John iMuno and Adam
Zender have hung up their guns until
after Christmas.

Tlie Grand Rapids Florists' Associa-
tion, represented at the Growers' Mar-
ket, has organized by the election of the
following officers: President, C. R.
Hills; vice-president, G. F. Crabb; sec-
retary, N. B. Stover; treasurer, Henry
Smith; directors in addition to above,
Eli Cross, Alfred Hanna and Chas. Chad-
wick. It is asserted that the association
controls a million feet of glass.

In the advertisement of L. H. Foster,
Dorchester, Mass., on page 236, the
prices of Boston ferns should be "each"
instead of "per 100."

Springfield, 0. — C. L. Reese walked
into his greenhouse on a recent Sunday
evening and surprised a well-known younjf
man with an armful of flowers.

HERE NEVER WAS a time in recent
years when there were too many good
flowers for Christmas. Almost always
there are too few. But cut flower
buyers may rest assured that there is no other
source of supply where one can be more certain of
getting what he wants. If seasonable flowers are to
be had in Chicago, they are to be had at Amiing's.

We shall have large supplies

for Christmas

No doubt of that, but just what we can do on late
orders it is impossible to foretell. That's why we
urge early correspondence; give us an
insight as to your needs. It will be to mutual
advantage.

But if you find yourself running short, don't
hesitate; wire us and we will help you out if stock
is to be had in Chicago.

We have the cuts of

some of the largest growers

for this market and our force is ample to handle

Ed. a. Humfeld, of Kansas City,
writes that the statement in last week's
Review that falter Troup was formerly
his assistant decorator is not true. Mr.
Trohp was formerly in his employ but in
another capacity.

Glasgow, Mo. — One greenhouse, pack-
ing shed and contents were completely de-
stroyed and another house so Iwdly dam-
aged that the stock is a loss December
6 by fire at the establishment of Henry
Schnell. The loss is $1,500, with no in-
surance.

CONNELLSVILLE, Pa. — ^It is reported
here that Peter Demas, proprietor of the
Pittsburg Florists' Exchange, and local
capitalists are organizing a company
with a capital of $100,000 to build one
of the largest greenhouse establishments
in this part of the state.

BocHESTEB, N. Y. — Charles E. Krue-
ger, a florist at 485 Monroe avenue, was
arrested December 3 charged with sign-
ing other men's names to checks for
small amounts. Krueger said he was
not guilty, that he wjis intoxicated at
the time, and the case was continued.

Encix)skd is $2 for two Reviews for

tionary; ■ hope you will continue it until
it will cover the whole field. — J. J.

HARRISn IN UNDRAINED POTS.

Robert Sydenham, a seedsman of Bir-
mingham, England, has been making suc-
cessful experiments in growing Harrisii in
various ornamental vases without drain-
age at the bottom or means of exit for
water. Moss is used as the potting medium,
some ground shell being added to the
moss fibre when the operator is about to
pot up the bulbs. The vessels employed
may be of glass or stoneware of any
ornamental design, the object being to
grow bulbs in such a way that they may
be introduced to dwelling rooms without
having the danger of water running
about the tables on which the plants are
stood. The bulbs are potted in these
vessels much in the usual way, making
the moss firm about the bulbs. The jars
or ornamental pots are then placed in an
airy cellar or room, not necessarily light,
but at the same time they must be airy
if the health of the plants is studied.

After the plants show themselves weU
above the moss, the ornamental vessels
that contain the bulbs must be brought
into a well-lighted position with plenty
of air to prevent the foliage and stemfr
from getting drawn. The, after treat-
ment is the same as for bulbs grown in
ordinary pots. Watering, however, is
quite a different operation, and must be
carefully handled to j^fjsx- the growing
plants in a healthy corf^tfon. It is best
to be careful at the 'commencement, and
the operator must rub the moss or squeeze
it until it is all equally loose before
commencing to pot. It. must also be care-
fully mixed with the shell. The object
of loosening it is to make it equal in
density and composition, so that when
water is applied all parts will be equally
moistened. If this compost is just
moistened before the potting operation,

very little watering will be necessary for
some time afterwards.

The best plan for beginners would be
to examine the pots twice weekly to de-
termine the conditions of the compost as
to moisture. Water should never be given
in such quantities as to render the com-
post soddened, but just suflScient to keep
it moist. Beginners would also do well
to frequently lift the vessels in order to
ascertain their weight, because if too
much moisture were present it would
collect in the bottom of the vessel to the
injury of the roots. The vessels might
also in such cases be held upside down,
so that all unnecessary moisture should
escape.

The careful cultivator, however, will
make certain not to apply water in such
quantity as to keep it standing in the
pots; only just suflScient should be given
to keep the moss equally moist and all
will be well. Besides lilies, daffodils,
polyanthus narcissi, hyacinths, tulips and
other spring flowering bulbs may also be
successfully grown in this way. The
merit of this method of culture is the
ornamental effect obtained by the use of
vessels of ornamental pattern, and the
absence of risk in spoiling furniture with
water djaining from pots, but in these
days of such tasteful pot coverings »ne
process seems hardly worth while save
for a few plants for novelty's sake.

We would not do without the Re-
view at twice the present subscriptioii
price. — G. H. Taepke, Detroit.

We are sending a dollar for the renew-
al of our subscription to the Review,
which has im>ven very satisfactory to
us; we shall give you all the advertising

No one has said recently that there
will be any shortage of cucumber seed.

Farquhae & Co., of Boston, will ask
$1 per ounce for a strain of forcing
cucumber seed.

The Louisville onion-set dealers feel
that it will be a Merry Christmas and
a Happy New Year.

No information that a uniform scale
of wholesale prices has been adopted has
come to hand as yet.

The Chicago seed houses which sup-
ply bouquet green and holly to the trade
report a brisk business.

Petee Hollenbach, Chicago, returned
this week from a trip to Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Washington.

The percentages of deliveries on beans
are very disappointing to the contract
buyer. Better things were hoped for.

It is rumored that a California seed
growing firm is canvassing for the mar-
ket garden trade at some of the prin-
cipal eastern cities.

Anything may be fair in business
that is open and above board, still the
local dealers at certain points have
cause for objection if the grower they
buy from hustles out to sell his goods
to their customers.

SWEET CX5RN FOR SEED.

The Maryland Agricultural Experi-
ment Station has just issued, as Bulletin
96, a pamphlet entitled "Sweet Com;
Breeding, Growing and Curing for Seed. ' '

Burpee's Seeds Grow

In the preface the Director of the Sta-
tion says:

It has been fully demonstrated that the
character of seed used has much to do In de-
termining the quality and quantity of the
crop produced. Again, it has been shown that
it Is not only necessary to have seed from
stock giving good crops, bat (or best results
seed should also be from acclimated plants.

Maryland stands fourth in the production of
canned corn, devoting annually about 17.00<>
acres to this crop for canning purposes, and
packing about 1,000,000 cases. Besides the
amount of corn grown for the canneries there
are large areas grown for Immediate consump-
tion in the green state. Maryland growers pur-
chase annually from 3,000 to 4,000 bushels of
sweet corn seed. The bulk of this seed is
grown In the New England states and northern
Ohio.

The reason that our farmers purchase seed
from the north is due to the prevailing opin-
ion that northern-grown seed will give a sweet-
er corn than the home-grown seed. Then,
again, many farmers say that sweet com will
soon run out and deteriorate in other ways.

when fiown Ifa this climate. In view of our
present knowledge of the corn plant these
statements did not seem reasonable, and upon
investigation they were not borne out by the
practicfs of some of the most suceesful and ad-
vanced growers and packers of sweet corn in
Maryland.

Before preparing this bulletin the author
took a trip to Ck>nnectlcut. and studied the
methods of growing and curing aa practiced
there by the largest and most advanced seed
growers, and the results of Lis observations
are given herewith.

The facts, as set forth by Dr. Stabler, in
the following pages, prove almost conclnslvely
that Maryland farmers can not only grow their
own sweet corn, but by doing bo, can, with rea-
sonable care improve the yield and quality of
the corn, and get a more desirable crop in many
other ways.

Seedsmen who may wish to study the
Bulletin will be supplied with copies by
addressing Agricultural Experiment Sta-
tion, College Park, Md.

ALFALFA SEED.

The increasing acreage of alfalfa, not
only in the western irrigation districts,
where it first became popular, but east
of the Missouri river, is making alfalfa
seed more important to the seed dealer,
who is finding it more necessary to de-
termine the quality of alfalfa samples
and their freedom from weed seeds. A
valuable treatise on this subject has been
published by the Department of Agricul-
ture, as farmers' bulletin No. 194, from
which the facts given herewith are taken.

The seed crops of 1902 and 1903 were
short, resulting in scarcity and an ad-
vance in the price of good seed. The
temjptation to adulterate grew with the
possible profit, resulting in a low aver-
Bgi quality of commercial seed. Yellow
trefoil, the seed mostly used in the
United States as an adulterant of al-
falfa seed, is darker green than alfalfa,
80 that a sample containing it looks

Although yellow trefoil is of no value
as a grass, about 200,000 pounds is im-
ported annually solely to adulterate al-
falfa and red clover seed. Analyses of
commercial samples of alfalfa seed by
the seed laboratory of the Department
of Agriculture showed adulteration with
from thirteen to forty per cent of yel-
low trefoil. Bur clover is the common
adulterant of alfalfa seed in Germany,
and is found in seed imported into the
United States. One consignment of im-
ported alfalfa seed, amounting to 33,000
pounds, tested less than fifty per cent
pure and contained 12,000 weed seeds to
the pound. Three lots of seed, aggre-
gating 67,000 pounds in weight, were

- i;; GEE,WHIZI

Since going to press with the outside
form of this week's Review, containing,
on page 235, the advertisement of poin-
settias of C. W. Beimers, Louisville, Ky.,
we are in receipt of the following letter
from Mr. Reimers:

Gee, whir! Take my ady. out of your paper.
The florists took to it as the bankers did to
Mra. Ctiadwick.

'The Louisville news letter this week
says that Mr. Reimers has three whole
• houses of poinsettias for Christmas de-
livery.

VHCS YOUR COAL MAN ?

The REViEiy has felt that the wholesale
dealers in coal were overlooking an op-
portunity to do business by not adver-
tising in this paper. We are confident
that it will pay them because we believe
they can offer better prices, more uni-
r form quality, etc., than can the local coal
dealers.

W. S. Hal-man, 303 Dearborn street,
Chicago, from whom the J. D. Thompson
Carnation Co. and a number of other
florists buy their coal, has given us an
order for an advertisement to see if we
are right that the Retview will prove his
best salesman. The advertisement ap-
pears for the first time in this issue.
Mr. Harman sells several grades of bi-
tuminous coal in car lots and up. To
those who are in the market for coal
it is suggested that they get his prices
for comparison with those of their local
dealers. Then it is up to Mr. Harman.

As a trade paper the Review is second
to none and I don't want to miss an
issue of it. — Feank Mokaison, St. f lairs-
ville, O.

You may discontinue my advertisement
of cyclamen; have sold out and could
have sold as many more. — S. M. Habbi-

Richmond, Ind.— The R G. Hill Co.
is this week putting in 40,000 to 50,000
cuttings of Uieir new rose, Richmond.
Mr. Lemon says that the free flowering
qualities of the variety are a surprise
even to themselves. Richmond is the
Mecca for many pilgrims this year.
They expect a particularly large number
of visitors just before and just after the
Chicago carnation show.

Galveston, Tex. — Mrs. Charles Eick-
holt returned late in November from
Dusseldorf, Germany, where she has been
for nearly a year. She underwent a
serious surgical operation while there and
was months in the hospital. She has
not fully recovered but is again able to
give her personal attention to business,
which is very good. She has had a large
number of large decorations recently.

ONCINNATL

The Market.

Business is light and it does not look
very encouraging till the Christmas
rush starts in. The retail as well as
the wholesale trade in this city is very
much off color. A very good shipping
trade has been the salvation of the whole-
sale men and they have been able to
take very good care of the out of town
demand.

Flowers are not plentiful. There are
more roses, perhaps, than anything else,
but none too many of them. Carnations
are scarce. Bulbous stock is plentiful
and sells well. Callas and Harrisii are
in very good demand and many more
could be disposed of. The supply of all
kinds of green goods is first-class. Vio-
lets are selling very well, especially those
of best quality.

The Christmas outlook is none too
bright so far as the supply of stock is
concerned. Carnations will be especially
short. All kinds of red roses will be
far short of the demand. Bulbous and
other stock will just about meet the de-
mand. All things taken into considera-
tion, we can scarcely expect this Christ-
mas trade to be up to last year, but I do

not think that we will have any cause to
kick, at that.

Various Notes.

The regular meeting of the Florists'
Society was held last Saturday. H.
Weber & Sons, of Oakland, Md., sent
a vase of their new white carnation. My
Maryland. The blooms arrived in fine
shape and made a very favorable im-
pression. The committee gave it 86
points.

The market is now well supplied with
holly and other holiday decorative stock
and many of the retail men are busily en-
gaged in decorating the down town
stores. Most of the holly has not been
up to standard. Many cases are almost
worthless. There are any number of
paper immortelle and sawdust Christmas
bells, but the price has been cut on them
so that there is very little money in them
for the retailers.

Frank Huntsman has been quietly
raising a few seedling carnations at his
Kentucky plant. He has several that
will bear watching, one especially, a very
good pink.

Hardesty & Co. are making a great
show of flowers in their Fourth street
store. They handle some of the finest
stock seen in this city and their show
windows are always very attractive.
This, by the way, is the very best adver-
tising that a retail store can do.

Geo. S. Bartlett reports business very
good in the fertilizer line. His bone meal
is in steady demand.

H. Schlachter has been confined to
bed for several weeks with a severe at-
tack of rheumatism.

J. A. Peterson has returned from his
Eastern trip and reports a very good
trade.

E. T. Grave, of Richmond, was a vis-
itor this week. C. J. Ohmer.

We highly value the Revhw, indeed
we cannot dispense with it. — ^P. H. D»

The Market

With the sudden turn to cold weather
supply of stock has shortened consider-
ahly and the increase of prices has some-
what cut off the demand. But prospects
for Christmas trade are bright and the
demand for Christmas supplies of all
kinds has been extremely good. Poinset-
tias are being shown by our retail men
in large quantities and are very attrac-
tive. Whether the supply will last for
Christmas may be a question. The de-
mand for bulb stock, such as hyacinths
and paper Whites, is very slow and
many of the growers say they will gtovr
but few next year.

Variotts Notes.

Among the recent events was the as-
signment of T. H. Milligan, who took
over the greenhouses at Mimico asylum
and also ran a store on Queen street
West. The assignment was made to the
Conger Coal Co. and we understand that
they have sold the lease and stock of
the Mimico houses to E. Graham, who
has been for the last few years with W.
J. Lawrence, of Eglinton. The place is
now in a very much run-down condition,
but as his expenses are low Mr. Graham
is hopeful of pulling through the win-
ter with a small balance on the right
side. J. D'

Among those shown were: Miss Stop-
ford, pure white; George Penford, crim-
son and gold; F. W. Vallis, bronze,
which got the silver medal for the best
bloom in the show; Lady Conyers, pink
and silver; Henry Stowe, pink; Calvat's
99, creamy white; Bessie Godfrey, yel-
low; W. B, Church, crimson and gold,
and Miss O. Millar, pink. F. S. Vallis
was in many prize collections. Mary
Anderson still held the lead among sin-
gles and the pompons were above the
average.

A trade floral exhibit was highly com-
mended, one of the novelties being a
lady's hat entirely composed of fresh
flowers.

An interesting incident was reported in
connection with the white variety shown
last year under the name of Lady Cran-
ston and which was then a prize win-
ner. It was a sport from Mrs. Barkley,
pink, but this year it reverted to its
original color and has become lost. -

A SCOTTISH EXHIBITION.

The Scottish Horticultural Association
closed an exceptionally fine show Novem-
ber 19 at Edinburgh, one of the best
both in quality and display that has been
held for years. The cup went for the
sixth time, though not in succession, to
Thomas Lunt, gardener to Captain Ster-
ling, of Keir. The exhibit was in fine
shape and the blooms characterized by
great depth and brilliancy of color.

"I OOULD not possibly do without the
SxviKW/ when I fail to get it of a week
I am completely lost." — J. B. Farrant,
Newport, Vt.

That little one-inch advertisement in
your valuable paper did the work all
right, as usual. — J. F. Ammank» Ed-
wardsville, 111.

Enctosed is a dollar to pay for an-
other year of good reading and valu-
able information; we find it in the Be-
viEW. — L. Thubuh, Mobile, Ala.

The First Steps !

" I bare several times been consulted

procure a copy of The Florists' Manual."

^^m

Holly is likely to be scarce this season. We advise you to order one or more
of our selected cases; the price is $4-00 a case. We also advise you to order some
of our cut Poinsettias, they are the best in the market and can be had either in lar^e,
medium or small sized flowers with stem to match.

It seems likely that American Beauty Roses will be in heavy demand at Christ-
mas; better place your order early to insure jettinj^ a supply of this popular rose.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

December 15, 1904.

PITTSBUBG.

The Market

Although we are in the midst of the
season there is nothing outside the or-
dinary run of business. Most of the
stores are kept quite busy with the regu-
lar trade and getting ready for the ex-
pected Christmas trade. Stock of all
kinds has shortened up the past week,
especially the better grades of carna-
tions, and they took quite a jump in
price, but there was enough to go around
at the price.

Various Notes.

John H. Orth will open a branch store
at Monessen and if his business keeps
pace with the growth of the town, John
will do well.

The unsatisfactory way in which the
shippers of holly have treated their cus-
tomers in this section in times past has
brought them their reward. Most of
the holly coming here now is handled by
the commission men and is sold from
cars, the good holly only bringing a
price, th" noor stock being left on their
hands. When we placed orders we usual-
ly got it in the proportion of one good
and two bad cases.

Large handsome wreaths of box-wood,
which sell for from $5 upward are among
the Christmas novelties, used for ceme-
tery decorations. One florist says he has
orders for a number already.

The Florists' Club smoker happened
as scheduled. It was well attended and
all report having had a royal good time
Music, songs, speeches, cards, lunch
pipes and cigars filled in the evening
and the affair reflected credit on the
committee, E. C. Reineman and Gustav
L/udwig.

The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. showed
some very fine Beauties and violets
the past week.

Wm. Cromack, of Irwin, is arranging
for the erectiou of several new green-
houses.

The next meeting of the Florists ' Club
Tuesday, January 3, will see the nomina-
tion of oflScers. Hoo-Hoo.

MONTREAL.

The Montreal Gardeners' and Florists'
Club held its seventeenth annual meet-
ing at its hall on St. Catherine street
Monday evening, December 5. There
were thirty-nine members present. The
report of the secretary and treasurer
showed the club to be in a very flourish-
ing condition, with a good balance on the
right side of the ledger. The report
of our last chrysanthemum show was
very satisfactory. The exhibits on the
whole were better than in previous years
but the attendance was far short of what
so good an exhibition merited and the
financial result was not what it
should have been, although everything
worked out satisfactorily. The reports
of all standing and other committees
were read and adopted. After the close
of regular business, officers were elected
as follows: President, Jos. Bennett;
vice-president, A. Gibb; second vice-
president, A. Walker; secretary and
treasurer. W, H. Horubin; assistant sec-
retary and treasurer, H. J. Eddy; exe-
cutive committee, E. Hayward, J. Walsh,
Wm. Alcock, J. C. Eddy, J. Kirkwood,
J. Pidduck ; social committee, H. J. Eddy,
G. Robinson, J. Pidduck. It was decided
to hold the annual dinner early in Janu-

The sale for hybrid perpetual roses is

The planting season for nursery stock
is practically at an end and in general
it has been a good fall business. Stor-
age houses are well filled for spring.

Wm. a. Peterson, Chicago, and his
family started December 12 for Los An-

dren will spend the winter. Mr. Peter-
son will remain a month.

The Iowa State Horticultural Society
is in session at Des Moines this week.
Among the nurserymen on the program
are Silas Wilson, C. L. Watrous, C. R.
Bechtle, M. J. W^ragg, H. A. Terry and
C. F. Gardner.

An economy of space is secured by
planting trees by the triangular or equi-
lateral rather than the square method.
To determine the number of trees re-
quired per acre, divide the number re-
quired by the square method by the deci-
mal fraction .866.

The Kansas State Horticultural So-
ciety will meet at Topeka, December 27

can Pomological Society.

The U. S. Department of Agriculture
has been experimenting ever since the big
freeze of 1898, with a view to securing
an orange which would be hardy enouglv
to stand the coldest weather that is like-
ly to come to the south. Prof. Galloway
says the success has been remarkable, that
several valuable varieties, other than one
particularly hardy sort have resulted and
will be given a thorough trying out.

THE WESTERN TREND.

Thus far the nearest approach which
the west has had to the splendid estate*
which center in a number of localities in
the east is the summer colony at Lake
Geneva, Wis., where a number of Chicago
families maintain small but pretty places.
But as wealth passes to the second gen-
eration and leisure increases there is sure
to be a rapid development of fine country
estates on a par with those in older sec-
tions of the United States. This ten-
dency is already being manifested by the
purchase of farms in the vicinity of
Lake Forest, 111., only about twenty
miles from Chicago. The several wealthy
men are individually buying adjoining
farms with the purpose of combining
several properties into a splendid estate.
When this movement gathers force, as it
is sure to do soon, it will mean a great
opportunity for the landscape architects,
the nurserymen and the gardeners.

THE FIRE RISK.

The insurance men are taking an in-
terest in the holiday decorating this
year. Last Saturday the Chicago un-
derwriters sent out a notice cautioning
against the use of inflammable decora-
tions, mentioning in particular such
things as wild smilax, bouquet green
wreathing, etc. Similar notices have been
cent out in many other cities. The cau-
tion was directed particularly toward de-
partment stores, but they are not ex-
tensive users of green, having too many
goods to show at this season to give space
to decorations not salable.

CLEVELAND.

The Market

Business is having its usual lull just
before the general rush of the holiday.
A few social functions have at times
called for an extra supply. Beyond this
it is quiet. Prices remain the same as
at Thanksgiving. Good flowers are lim-
ited and those that come in are eagerly
sought for. Boses are somewhat off
crop and a decided scarcity will prevail
at holiday time. Beauties are an ex-
ception, as a good crop is on locally for
Christmas, enough possibly to satisfy the
home demand. Bed roses, such as Lib-
erty, Meteor and General MacArthur,
will be exceedingly scarce. There will
be few carnations, but one or two grow-
ers have hit it nicely, which will ma-
terially help out. Bulbous stuff will, as
usual, be quite plentiful, as will also
stevia. Valley and violets will be on
hand, as most of these are shipped here
from Chicago. Poinsettias, both for
cutting and as pot plants, will be lim-
ited. Cyclamen, Lorraines and azaleas
are in their usual supply.

Various Notes.

The reception held at the Wade man-
sion recently was a gorgeous affair and
was well handled by ttie J. M. Gasser Co.
Flowers and plants were used lavishly.
The gifts of flowers were something
enormous. It is said the amount has
never before been eaualed in Cleveland.
All the store men were busy on this
occasion.

The stores present a brilliant array of
Christmas color. Immortelle wreaths,
bells and paper poinsettias play an im-
portant part.

Collins & Harrison have a pretty win-
dow of crotons, araucarias and Boston
ferns, all neatly trimmed with red.

The J. M. Gasser Co.'s windows are
beautiful with orchids, "real" poinset-
tias and a well-made holly wreath five
feet in diameter. Small red electric
globes are interspersed.

Smith & Fetters have a full display
of immortelle wreaths tied with ribbon
to match. A large assortment of bells
is shown. Paper poinsettias were used
largely in completing a scarlet window.

A call on the ever genial Isaac Ken-
nedy, at West Park, is always a pleasure.
Although he has only three houses, which
are to form the nucleus of what will
some day mean a magnificent plant, Mr.
Kennedy keeps busy. He is also mayor
of the burg, which perhaps explains his
manner of handshaldng. The plant is
roses exclusively. Brides and Maids are
looking fine and give promise of a good
Christmas cut. The eel worm is giving
him some trouble. He has one thing on
the place that is a pretty sight. It is a
bench of a new Bride rose which is a de-
cided improvement, as it is more vigorous
and the flowers larger. Next season Mr.
Kennedy will plant the whole place with
this and possibly send it out in a year
or two.

Frank Smith has returned from Xew
York.

J, M. Gasser is planning to spend the
winter in New Mexico and Texas.

A. L. Brown has the sympathv of the
craft in the loss of his mother recently
in Philadelphia.

Several Cleveland florists have been
visiting the Essex Greenhouses of North
Olmsted to inspect the Beauty and car-
nation crop. FOEEST CiTT.

PACIFIC COAST.

DECORATIVE PLANTS

Florists and nurserymen often have
demands for extra size palms and other
large plants for permanent decoration in
hotel corridors, offices and the interior of
stores. The more expensive palms are
not Ipn^ lived in such locations and the
parties using them generally want to re-
place the sick plants with something
hardier and cheaper. Where the plants
are put in large boxes or tubs, so that
they are too heavy to bring out occa-
sionally to the light and be given a good
washing, it is not advisable to recom-
mend kentias, seaforthias, latanias or
cocos, and, although these are the varie-
ties that are generally selected by the
customer because of their graceful habits,
they do not thrive long under unfavor-
able conditions and the customer usually
returns to the dealer with the com-
plaint that his plants are sick. It is
useless to recommend such things unless
the florist knows that the conditions are
favorable, and they are generally just
the reverse in a draughty hotel corridor
or retail store. A kentia that will cost
$25 will not keep its color twenty-five
days and it gives much better satisfac-
tion to recommend a hardy palm.

I have replanted Chamserops excelsa
in pots in which seaforthias have died,
and they have lasted for years under the
same conditions. Chamserops humilia
does not live as long but makes a very
good decorative palm. Phoenix Ca-
nariensis I find to be the best suited of
its class, and, although it does not thrive
as well as Brahea dnlcis, it comes nearer
to being what the public expect when
they want to use a long branched plant.
Bambusa Japonica I have had splendid
success with, and, although it is not well
known for this usage, it is well worth
a trial. Phormium tenax makes a very
effective specimen, stands considerable

neglect and will live on a very small
allowance of water. Aspidistras, both
variegated and green, are long lived and
always in demand. Bhapis flabellifor-
mis dies slowly and so does Cyeas revo-
luta and are not satisfactory unless they
have plenty of moisture and light.

In evergreens Sciadopitys verticillata,
the Japanese umbrella pine, can be rec-
ommended and also the Japan juniper,,
both of which are about the best I have
found in that class of shrubbery.

Dracaena indivisa is used probably as
much as anything here in a cheap dec-
orative plant and, although it is not long
lived, it does not cost much to replace
and that is one of the items to take into
consideration in replenishing empty plant
boxes. G.

SAN FRANOSCX).

The Market.

The cold weather has at last arrived
and we have had several degrees of frost
nightly during the past week. The days
are warm and bright and stock is still
plentiful, although if the frost continues
it will make outdoor flowers scarce. It
has not yet affected the chrysanthemums
to any extent and they continue to be
the most popular flower. Violets are next
in order and I look for a shorter picking
in a few days unless we have more rain.
Carnations are stiU being sold wholesale
at the same prices they have been held
at for the past month, and roses likewise.
Narcissi are very plentiful ana valley
is in very good demand. There will be
no scarcity of this flower during Christ-
mas week, as there is plenty of it being
forced at present. Bed berries and all
kinds of green stuff sell well.

Various Notes.

An appraisement of the estate of the
late John Rock, the pioneer nurseryman,
has just been announced. It consisted
principally of his interest in the Call-

KANSAS CITY.

The Market.

All the florists are trimming their win-
dows with holly and mistletoe and shop-
pers are placing quite a number of ad-
vance orders. Eoses are plentiful, de-
mand fair and prices about the same as
usual. Carnations are scarce, prices are
going up and the demand exceeds the
supply. Poinsettias are in demand for
table decorations but the supply as yet
is short. lily of the valley and Paper
Whites are selling well, with the supply
plentiful. Everything promises unusual-
ly good business from now on.

Various Notes.

An unfortunate occurrence happened
at Alfred Barbe's last week. Two of
his workmen, while engaged in placing
plants on the benches, became involved
in a brawl. The result, one in the hos-
pital, severely wounded, and the other
in jail.

Miss Murray, on Grand avenue, re-
ports business good in her line and has
already booked some fine orders for
Christmas.

The best violets shown by any one in
the city are in the show window of
Freudenthal, on Walnut street. They
are from Ed. Bunyar, of Independence.

Lawrence Schwager is putting in a
large stock of Christmas trees and re-
ports a good business at his Walnut
street store.

The Union Depot Flower Co, will
move from the present location on Wal-
nut street about the first of January,
their lease having expired.

Jacob Tobeler, of Westport, is buying
a large stock of holly.

Mr. Smith, of near Elmwood, sold his
property last week for $18,000 and has
bought property near E. S. Brown's, in
Mlaywood, which he expects to occupy in
early spring.

Sam Sharp, Thirty-third and Prospect
street, is sending in some fine azaleas
and Gloire de Lorraine begonias.

Mrs. Juvell, of Grand avenue, reports
business as fair at present, with good
prospects for Christmas trade.

Naecissus.

NASHVILLE, TENN.

The Joy & Son Company is justly re-
garded as the leading firm south of the
Ohio river. The business was estab-
lished twenty-five years ago by T. S.
Joy and for many years was conducted
under the name of Joy & Son. This firm
was succeeded three years ago by the
present company, which was incorporated
with the following oflScials: T. S. Joy,
president; T. C. Joy, vice-president, and
Mrs. T. S. Joy, secretary and treasurer.
The greenhouses are forty in number
and equipped throughout in the most
modem and eflScient manner. The land
is from seven to eight acres, and there
are 200,000 square feet of glass, cover-
ing a general stock. ■ The eompony alao

maintains an up-town salesroom at No.
600 Church street. They not only carry
on a large local trade, but ship large
quantities of designs, cut flowers and
plants throughout the south.

Here is another dollar for the Review ;
it is the best florist paper published and
we cannot do business without it. — A. T.

LOUISVILLE, KY.

The Nana & Neuner establishment at
St. Mathews, Ky., is five miles from the
city on the Shelbyville Pike. It is well
worth to make a trip out to see
the larpe area of s^lass, consisting of
sixty greenhouses for plants and cut
flowers. I had the luck to meet the fore-
man, Theo. Strochaker, who showed me
through the different departments, and
found everything in fine tip top shape.
One house of white and pink bou-
vardia was very fine. One house
containing the old Marechal Niel
roses will yield a fine crop for
Christmas. Three houses were planted to
chrysanthemums, but were well cleaned
xip with the exception of some fine
Yanoma. Pour houses are in carnations.
The varieties grown are Joost, Enchant-
ress, Hill and Prosperity. One 228-foot
house is planted to American Beauties,
doing nicely. Mr. Eennison has charge
of this department. A bench of Golden
Gate is looking healthy and filled with
buds. One house contained a bench of
good old Perle des Jardins which were
in fine shape. The firm has gone to a
considerable expense this season remod-
eling the houses. All the latest im-
provements have been added.

C. W. Eeimers' place, at Crescent
Hill, was visited and found the proprie-
tor not at home but I had the good luck
of receiving the glad, hand of the fore-
man, A. J. Koenig, who took me through
the different houses. The first four
houses, 115 feet long, were planted to
American Beauties. The growth is won-
derful; they can cut some with stems six
feet long. Their house of Gates is in
fine shape. One house containing two
benches, one of Bride and the other of
Bridesmaid, was a sight to look over;
nothiner but buds, and will yield a big
crop for Christmas. A bench of helio-
trope was also in fine shape for Christ-
mas. Three houses were planted to poin-
settias, fine foliage and very fine large
crowns, all ready for the holiday trade.
One house of carnations contained some
5,000 Lawsons, which were covered with
buds, healthy growth and long stems. His
Enchantress is hard to beat. I saw
some very fine blooms of Flamingo, also
some fine blooms of White Lawson could
be seen here. The pink chrysanthemum,
Dr. Enguehard, was very good. Violets
are grown here in large quantities.

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 Ironds 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.

ROCHESTER, N, Y.

I recently took a trip around to see
how different varieties of carnations were
behaving with the growers here. In red,
Flamingo and Adonis have not proven
very satisfactory, but Crusader is mak-
ing a little better showing and the color
is much more desirable. With one grow-
er I found Crane ahead of any I have
seen, but most of the growers had to
strike it off the list, and they are pa-
tiently waiting for a good red. In dark
pink, I found Lawson better than ever
with some growers, nothing but bud
and bloom, with Nelson Fisher behav-
ing nicely, but I did not find
any grower ready to discard the former
for the latter. In white, Peru and
Queen seem to be in the lead. For profit.
Queen was well named, as it is ahead of
anything here at present. Peru will give
just as many or more flowers, but the
former is much more full and of better
stem. In light pink I found a few of the
growers growing Morning Glory, but this
will be its last season, as Enchantress
will give just as many or more flowers
and bring more than twice the price.
One grower has already averaged five to
the plant of that variety and still the
plants are a sight. H. M.

Herewith is another dollar for the
Review; it is much too good a paper to

RED SPORT

This new "Bread and Butter" commercial brilliant "Crane" Red Carnation, now in its fourth
year, has the hardy constitution of General Maceo. with a stronger heavier growth, longer and stiSer
stem and a larger flower. Growing under the same conditinns and in the same bouse with Flamingo
and Estelle it has produced four times as many blooms as the former and twice as many blooms as
the latter. The color is as good as Estelle and the bloom brings as much as does Estelle at its best.
Every flower is of a uniform brilliant red, perfectly double with an ideal calyx, in fact we never saw
a split one.

Sad Sport is perfectly healthy, an easy variety to grow, an early and continuous bloomer,
throwing its heaviest cats around the Christmas holidays and daring the Winter months when red is
in demand. Bed Sport will keep longer and travel farther than any other red carnation, and will
prove a bonanza to the grower who does a shipping business. If the scarcity of reds in the market
that now exists continues Bed Sport will pay better to the square foot of bench than any other
variety of any color to date. Every florist who has seen Bed Sport growing has placed an order

FOR OUR

NEW RED ROSE

RICHMOND

That It is the Best
Red Forcinfl^ Varie-
ty yet Produced.

lat. It is of strong and rapid growtii, more vigorous tlian

any otiier forcing variety in commerce.
8nd. It comes to perfection without special care or culture

and can be grown in the same soil and temperature and

with the same treatment given to Bride and Maid.
8rd. It ships perfectly, as it can be cut very tight and devel-

ops as well off as on ttie bush.
4th. Has very near the same tone of color as Liberty^ with

more scarlet and does not blue with age.

Was awarded the silver cup at the World's Fair for

6th. This variety is nearly a pure tea* being seeded from
LADY BATTERSEA, fertilised by LIBERTY, and as
a result has shown no tendency toward going dormant in
mid-winter, at which time the variety is at its very best.

6th. Produces freely throughout the year, long pointed buds

on tall straight stems with elegant dark foliage.
7th. Is as easy to root, and grafts as readily as Bride or Maid.

8th. Has as delicious a fragrance as American Beauty.
>est seedling; rose and a special silver cup at Chicagfo

for best seedling. Prices, own root— 100 plants for $30; 250 for $70; 1000 for $250. 500 at 1000 rate*
n/\0 ▲ I Ilk irk /\DD CIWI/^I ICU OUR PNK SEEDLING from Mme. Chatenay is unap-
.KUoALIIlU UKK LilbLlatl proached in color; the bad is pointed quite fuU. borne on

KALAMAZCX). MICH.

G. Vau Bochove & Bro. have decided
to practically double their plant and have
.ilready begun to make arrangements for
doing 80. They have bought thirty acres
of land on the old Miller place, out
Portage street, near the city limits, and
intend to build there at once. The new
plant will consist of six or seven green-
houses, each 28x300 feet. They will
have a total of about 75,000 square feet
of glass. The greenhouses will be of the
best and most improved pattern, with
aU the latest improvements. All the
posts, gutters and fittings will be of
iron, and all the houses will be heated by
steam, A cement boiler room will be
constructed, with two boilers, each of
150 horse-power. Another boiler of the
same size may be put in later. All the
material will come from Chicago. The
new range will be devoted to American
Beauties, Brides and Maids. As fast
as possible the old plant will be removed
in the new location, thereby avoiding
trouble with high water.

Garrett and John R. Van Bochove
began as florists in Kalamazoo about
twenty years ago. They had been in the
celery business before that. Their first
plant consisted of two small houses, with
not more than 5,000 feet of glass in the
two of them, and the brothers did all the
work. Now their houses have about
70,000 feet of glass, with eighteen men
employed regularly, and the plant and
force will be doubled in less than a year.
This will make the Van Bochove ])lant
one of the largest in Michigan.

PLANTS FOR FORCING.

AZALEAS FOR EASTER.

On account of Easter this year coming so very late (April 23) a season
of the year when our regular spring shipmends demand our full attention,
we have decided not to carry a supply of Azaleas until then, but to clo»e
out our entire stock as quickly as possible, therefore customers who us-
ually prdcure th>ir supplies late in the spring will do well to cover their
needs at once. The principal sorts now in stock are Mme. Van der Cruyssen
and Bernhardt Andreas Alba the two best late flowering sorts of their
color. These two varieties can be furnished in any proportion desired, but
the selection of other varieties must be left to us.

We will still supply early orders at import prir^es.

12 to 14-in. crowns $ 6 00 per doz.; f 45.00 per 100

14 to 16-in. crowns 7.00 per doz.; 55 00 per 100

^6 to l8-in. crowns „.„^..^,.rrT.^T^.-„^.. ^ 12.00 per doz.; 100.00 per 100

DEUTZIAS FOR FORCING.

Strong two-year-old field grown plants suitable for 6-in. pots.

Gracilis Pern oz., $0.75; per 100, $6.00

Gracilis Rosea Perdoz., l.Oi ; per 100, 8.00

Gracilis L«moinei Perdoz., 1.00; per 100, 8.00

Ay.AT.ICA MOLLIS.

For early and late forcing Azalea Mollis is rapidly gaining favor; easily
forced at a minimum cost for heat and labor, they are profitable stock for
the retailer tu handle. We are sujplying at present an unusually fine
grade of plants. 15 to 18 inches higb, and covered with flower buds, $4.60
per doz.; $33.00 per 100.

FORCING LILACS.

A fine lot of pot grown plants, well set with buds and in prime condition
for forc^g, $6.00 per doz.; $45 OJ per 100.

RHODODENDRONS FOR FORCING.

These are being used more extensively every season, and this year,
witte Easter at such a very late date, should prove especially acceptable,
as they can be retarded much easier than Azaleas, and at the same time
may be flowered at just the right moment at a minimum cost. We are
carrying an extra large stock of bushy well shaped plants. 16 to 18 inches
high, covered with buds $9 00 per doz.; $70.00 per 100. Larger plants. 20 to
24 inches high, fine specimens, $11.00 per doz.; $90.00 per 100.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

Deceubbb 15, 1904.

HEATING.

I have recently bought a plant which
is badly run down. The boiler was made
to heat 4,700 feet of glass, but no
maker's name is on it. I desire to know
if a boiler with a fire box twenty-four
inches square will keep up sufficient heat
on a night 10 or 15 degrees below zero
in 1,200 feet of 4-inch pipe, down hill
system? The boiler has ten flues six
feet long and good draught; will burn
anything, but am using semi-anthracite
slack, firing thin, but cannot seem to get
over 115 or 120 degrees in water with
overflow in the center of the run, and by
the time it reaches the farthest point in
circulation it seems to be not over 100
degrees. I have tried light and heavy
firing, but cannot seem to get water above
115 degrees at the point mentioned. Is
the. fault with the fuel, firing, circula-
tion or where? The circulation is slow,
but seems all right. F. M.

It is impossible from the data given to
more than guess at the reason for the
low temperature in the system. While
the size of the flues in the boiler is not
stated, I judge them to be 3 inches. If
so the heating surface in the boiler is
probably too small. The fire box is
capable of supplying heat to 320 square
feet of heating surface in the boiler
when soft coal is used. With ten flues
six feet long it is probable that not more
than one-half this amount of heating sur-
face is provided in the boiler. A good
boiler with 175 or 200 feet of heating
surface should be ample, with proper
fuel, to provide 180 degrees in the risers.
If a full description of the boiler can
be provided, stating general design, ma-
terial used, size, number and length of
flues and whether the boiler is return
tubular or direct draught of the locomo-
tive type, it will be possible to give a
more exact and satisfactory ansvver.
Without this data a conjecture as above
stated is all that is possible. L. C. C.

nice business in gold fish and aquaria.

NEW HAVEN, CONN.

The fourth annual horticultural exhibi-
tion was held in Music Hall, which was
converted into a great flower garden,
with tropical plants intermingled with
the natives here and there. A splendid
lot of plants in bloom were shown. Over
all was tlie canopy of delicate blue and
white bunting. The various exhibits
were allotted to spaces on the floor and
the aisles about and between them were
arranged so that each one could be fully-
examined. Along the side walls were
booths where flowers, potted plants and
other articles were sold. At the entrance
was a fine display of garden products.
Many hundreds of people from in and
out of town spent many pleasant hours
enjoying this rare treat. Among the
prize winners were Henry CliflP, Eobert
Johnstone, A. J. Thompson, William
Veitch, of the Agricultural Experiment
Station; J. H. Slocombe, Richard Bell,
Frank E. Duffy, Frank Kimberly, :Mrs.
Edw. Rice, Wm. H, Symon, David Fergu-
son, Mrs. W. H. Symon, O. G. Gennings,
Oscar Carlson, John Seibold and others.

Charles Munro has recently moved to
his new store on Chapel street, formerly
that of the Eobert "Veitch Company.

J. N. Champion has been fortunate in
securing the orders for decorations for
the many elaborate weddings which have
taken place during the past month, the
Hotchkias wedding being the greatest
New Haven has yet known.

S. H. Moore has had much funeral
work. His windows have been elaborately
decorated with choice stock.

Violets and carnations have been very
scarce, while the demand is steadily in-
creasing. Violets went up to $3 and
$4 per hundred for the Yale-Harvard
game. E. S. M.

South Bend. Tnd. — It is reported that
a new firm is to put up a big range of
gla?s here in the spring.

"Winnipeg, Man. — A. H. Stolper has
rented the R. Alston place, in which he
was formerly employed, and is starting
out with a nice business and every pros-
pect for increasing it.

Port Huron, Mich. — During C. W.
Asman 's recent opening he gave each
visitor a flower and used more than 2,000
carnations. It was no small advertise-
ment to have 2,000 people go down the
street, each wearing a flower.

FORCING SPANISH IRIS.

How should Spanish iris be handled for
Easter flowering? C. W. E.

The Spanish iris, I. vulgare or i. Xiph-
ium, is very easily forced for Easter if
the bulbs are planted in good season and
grown slowly. The bulbs should be planted
in flats as soon as received, which ought
to be early in September, using flats
four inches deep, with ample drainage,
and soil of a light, rich, sandy nature.
The bulbs should be planted with the
necks above the soil, as they are very
impatient of dampness at that particular
spot and are apt to suflfer from the iris
fungus, Mystrosporium adnatum, if ex-
posed to much dampness.

After boxing they should be placed in
a cold-frame having a northern aspect
and loosely covered with litter to prevent
too rapid evaporation. When the weather
becomes severe they should be protected
and kept dry by putting on the sash. In
January they should be moved into a
house with a temperature not to exceed
48 degrees at night for at least a month.
The temperature should be gradually in-
creased as exigencies demand but to se-
cure good buds, and they should always
be cut in the bud, the night temperature
should never exceed 55 degrees.

Bulbs handled as late as the middle of
October or November rarely succeed.
There are few hardy bulbs so impatient
of interference as the Iris family and any
disturbance should be conducted during its
most dormant period, August and Sep-
tember. R.

CONCRETE WALLS.

Will you please tell us if a concrete
wall six indies thick is advisable for
greenhouse sidinjj in place of the usual
ship-lapped hemlock, paper and novelty
siding. I intend building sides of con-
crete and advice on the subject would
bo appreciated. R. S.

Some growers favor concrete for walls
but, having tried it, I am not in love
with it. The usual method of using
German siding for a finish seems to meet
the requirements of most* growers. In
the course of a day or two you will re-
ceive some literature on the most modern
methods of building which may be of
some use to you. R.

THE LORRAINE BEGONIAS.

Begonia Gloirc dc. Tvorraino is so easily
cultivated, flowers so profusely, and is at
its best at the very dullest time in the
whole 3'ear, that there is little wonder
that it so soon became universally culti-
vated. There liave already occurred s(>v-
eral sports from this variety, such iis
those named Mrs. Leopold de Rothschild,
Turnford Hall, which has flowers tliat are
nearly white; and Caledonia, with
pure white flowers, but so unlike to the
type that few gardeners are able to cul-
tivate it successfully. At a meeting of
the Royal Horticultural Society, London.
November 15, several newer varieties were
shown, but their resemblance to Gloire
do Lorraine appeared very close. — Gar-
deners ' Chronicle.

FLOWERS BY TELEGRAPH.

Put a neat sign in your window: "Fu-

When you have taken an order refer to

to telegraph the order. You will find it

ness.

PREVENTS FROST ON WINDOWS.

One cold day last winter when B.
Esehner, whom everybody knows, was sit-
ting, with his ear muffs down, his mittens
and his rubbers on, behind a frost-cov-
ered hotel window waiting for train time,
he ran across the following in a paper:

"This has been a bad winter for the
storekeeper in more ways than one. And
one of the ways has been the frosting
of the show windows. Burning gas in
the windows to keep off the frost is un-
satisfactory. Many storemen run electric
fans in the windows and this in a mea-
sure keeps down the ice, but it is detri-
mental to the stock in the window. For
this purpose the Pharmaceutische Zei-
tung recommends the application of a
mixture consisting of fifty-five grams of
glycerine dissolved in one liter of sixty-
two per cent alcohol, containing, to im-
prove the odor, some oil of amber. As
soon as the mixture clarifies, it is rubbed
over the inner surface of the glass. This
treatment, it is claimed, not only pre-
vents the formation of frost, but also
stops sweating."

A FINE YELLOW CYP.

The fine yellow form of Cypripedium
insigne which appeared at the Royal Bot-
anic Garden, Glasnevin, Dublin, and is
named Mrs. F. W. Moore in compliment
to the wife of the curator, proves a verv
worthy addition to that popular class. It
is perhaps the strongest-growing and
most robust of yellow flowered forms of
C. insigfne, its habit of growth being sim-
ilar to that of C. insigne Harefield Hall
variety, says the Gardeners' Chronicle.

FLAT IRON RAFTER TYPE.

While the same in general outline as. the
ordinary flat rafter type of greenhouse that
has been on the market for years, yet our
construction is so far improved in every
detail it is far from ordinary- it is in a class
by itself.

"We furnish it in two styles for commercial
and private use, both U and even span. The
commercial style shown in the illustration
has our galvanized " U'' bar eaves plate and
is supported on galvanized iron foot pieces
set in concrete.

The style for private use is provided with
cast iron sills set on brick walls and is fur-
nished with gutter at eaves line.

SASH BAR TYPE.

'We manufacture this type of house in
several grades from the low priced all cypress
grade to the highest grade of combination
wood and iron.

The house shown in the illustration is
composed of our highest grade and consists of
our galvanized "U" bar eaves supported on
galvanized angle iron side posts with foot
pieces bedded in concrete. The roof is sup-
ported on iron columns and angle iron pur-
lins, making a strong durable house at a
reasonable price.

It stands next to our flat rafter type in
stanchness and durability.

Our lower priced grades of sash bar houses
are manufactured with just the same care
and attention to every detaiL

All cypress used is selected and free from
sap or knots.

RIDGE AND FURROW TYPE.

We manufacture this type of house in all
our constructions and of all widths of span.

The range shown in illustration consists of
our highest grade sash bar with galvanized
"U** bar eaves and galvanized angle iron
posts.

It is provided with our galvanized "V*
iron center gutter arranged to catch all water
of condensation on under side of glass.

It is absolutely dripless and is without
doubt the most perfect center gutter yet pre-
sented. It is supported on galvanized iron
pipe columns which are bedded in concrete.

COMMERCIAL VARIETIES.

[A paper by David Lumeden. of A. Leuthy &
Co Rosllndale, Masa., read before the Boston
Cardeners" and Florists' Club, December 20,
1904.]

I know of no class of plants, taken the
year around, which give us so much pleas-
ure and real enjoyment as ferns; and
what class of plants can we find that will
excel, nay, even equal the fern in grace,
beauty and utility?

Ferns are now in greater demand than
ever before, not only for greenhouse culti-
vation, dwelling house adornment, fern-
eries, and other decorative purposes, but
are also used with flowering and other
decorative plants, making many excellent
combinations. Persons in every station
of life are taking a great interest in ferns
and are desirous of cultivating them, and
what gardener or florist have we present
among us this evening who has not had
these or similar questions asked him rel-
ative to ferns? ,

What is the best kind of a fern I can
get to live in my house? I have steam
heat or furnace heat, as the case may be,
and we want a fern that will grow. What
variety can you recommend? What is the
proper way to treat them?

It is very true they are flowerless
plants; nevertheless they are, I may say,
everybody 's favorite ; in fact, through the
whole of my experience in Europe as vrell
as in America I have met no one who is
not a fern lover, which goes far to prove
the universality of ferns.

I may here state that ferns have a very
wide geographical distribution and are
found in almost every part of the world.
They range from the tropics, where they
are found in greatest profusion, to the
arctic region, as far north as Greenland.
In some places they are found at the sea
fevel; in other places they attain an alti-
tude of several thousand feet. Some will
grow only in hot climates, others only in
cold, and in their native haunts you flnd
some growing in a dense shade, while
others stand scorching rays of a tropical
sun. We find them growing by the side
of winding streams, in dense shady glens,
in crevices of rocks where we would think
it impossible for them to get sufl&cient
nourishment to exist, and, indeed, some
varieties revel in such situations. And
what a comparison in size is afforded by
the fern kingdom I Soi6e are small, their
fronds being scarce half an inch in
length, while others (tree ferns) attain a
height of fifty feet. Tkerefore, among
ferns we 1hid"every conceivable kind of
growth, and among them is a great di-
versity of habit and requirements. Not-
withstanding all this, no other plants are
80 easily managed in cultivation as ferns.

Essentials of Fern Growing.
While it is considered necessary to have
a knowledge of the various species in
order to excel in their cultivation, yet the
whole family can be satisfactorily culti-
vated by careful attention to a few ijoles :

First, the right kind of a soil to use ; sec-
ond, a certain temperature must be main-
tained winter and summer ; third, a moist
atmosphere free from draughts; fourth,
abundance of light, at the same time pro-
tection from the scorching rays of the
sun during the summer months.

We find most tropical ferns are ever-
green; that is to say, they retain their
foliage until new foliage is produced the
following season, and some varieties re-
tain their foliage for a number of years.
Very few of the tropical varieties are de-
ciduous, while among the species from
colder climates we find the deciduous vari-
eties predominate. The great mistake
made by a novice is that, when ferns have

ually damp. Those that have lost their
foliage must be supplied with sufficient
water to keep them moist while resting.

The right kind of soil to use for fern
cultivation is fibrous loam and to obtain
it grass sods should be taken from the
field, stacked grass side down, layer upon
layer, and left to remain a year or longer.
By that time it will be found the roots of
the grass are dead. Care should be taken
in cutting the sods from the field that
they are about three or not more than
four inches deep, as the fibrous part of
the loam is the portion we require. Leaf-
mold is made from leaves collected dur-
ing the fall and allowed to lie in large
heaps for a season or two, until they are
entirely decomposed; also it may be col-
lected from the woods, where the leaves
fall annually and decay, forming nature 's
fern garden.

At one time the idea was prevalent that
ferns could not be grown without peat in
the compost. This is entirely erroneous,
as by experience we find that peat is not
of much importance, as the value of leaf-
mold is acknowledged by our leading
growers.

Clean, sharp river sand is the best we
can use to keep the compost open and
admit the passage of the surplus water

lost their foliage, they are placed on their
sides or put away in some corner of the
greenhouse unseen and forgotten, and
then left for weeks without water. The
chances are the roots are injured and, if
the plants are not killed outright, it is
impossible for them to make such vig-
orous growths the following season as
they would if they had been kept contin-

freely through the soil. Charcoal is very
valuable, broken small and can be freely
mixed in with the compost for some varie-
ties of ferns. It is also a valuable agen-
cy placed on the tops of the crocks as it
tends to insure good drainage, keep the
soil pure and in growing condition.

A great many persons have the idea
that ferns need a dense shade to grow in.

The Weekly Rorists' Review.

Decbmbeb 22, 1904.

This is entirely erroneous, as most ferns
like abundance of light and our fern
ranges are better from the beginning of
November to the early part of March
without any shade.

There are various methods of propagat-
ing ferns. Some are propagated from
tubes on the roots, some from bulbils
formed on the rhizomes and some are
propagated from spores, which is certain-
ly the most interesting form of propa-
gation.

Growing From Spores.

The spores vary in the different species.
Some we find arranged along the edge of
the frond; in other species they are
spread all over the surface ; in others they
form large patches on certain parts of
the frond. Some of the clusters are cov-
ered with what we would call a very thin
membrane, which gradually lifts as the
spores ripen, and oftentimes shrivels or
falls off. In some species the spores are
not covered at all, being a pale green in
their infancy and as they advance to ma-
turity, some become brown, some black,
others green, according to the species.
When the covering shows signs of begin-
ning to lift, it is an indication the spore
is almost ripe. The fronds containing
the spore can then be gathered, wrapped
in paper and dried by hanging them up
in any warm place where there is no dan-
ger of water reaching them. In the course
of a few days, when they are sufficiently
dry, they are rubbed through a very fine

wire sieve, which removes the frond and
a portion of the chaflf from the spore.
They are then ready for sowing.

After experimenting in various ways
with the sowing of spores I find the most
satisfactory results are obtained by using
5inch or 6-inch pots. They should be
filled to within one inch of the top with
drainage, consisting of small crocks, cin-
ders or charcoal. The pot is now ready to
receive the soil, which must be loam
screened fine, with no manure, and thor-
oughly sterilized, either by baking over a
fire until all forms of vegetable and in-
sect life have been destroyed, or by the
use of steam, passing through and thor-
oughly sterilizing the soil. After filling
the pots with the compost be careful to
make the surface perfectly level. The
pots should now be thoroughly watered
and allowed to stand an hour or so be-
fore sowing them. They are now ready
to receive the spores. Care must be used
when sowing to select a place free from
draughts, as the spores are so fine that
the least breeze will scatter them in every
direction.

After sowing, place your pots in a
shady place in the greenhouse and' cover
with glass. This glass covering should be
kept on continually to prevent other
spores getting in and to keep a humid at-
mosphere about the spores. This assists
germination, as a dry atmosphere is det-
rimental to their growth. We then place
the pots in saucers containing water,
which rises and keeps the compost moist.

Carnation Victory.

If any of the pots are found to be drying
out they must by no means be watered
overhead, but placed in a pail of water,
£0 that it soaks up and saturates the
whole compost, aq top watering will dis-
turb the spores and in all instances wash
them out of their places. It is an old
axiom in human life that cleanliness is
next to godliness, and in plant life it is
equally true, especially among seedling
ferns, for they quickly rebel under un-
clean,, conditions.

The warm or exotic ferns germinate
best in a temperature of say about 65
degrees. The cooler or hardy ferns will
germinate in a much lower temperature.
The first sign of growth appears in a
faint coloring of green on the soil, which
will rapidly cover the whole surface. At
the first indication of the spores making
tiny fronds they should be separated in
small patches and planted in other pots
or flats containing fern compost. Over-
head watering may now be indulged in,
but use a very fine rose on your watering
pot; also keep under glass for a time
longer and give more light. They will
soon need dividing again and presently,
when large enough to handle, they may
be placed in 2-inch or 214-inch pots.

There is mystery attached to raising
ferns from spores and it is no uncommon
occurrence for a totally different kind to
appear than the one which has been sown.
Also, we find when the utmost care has
been taken in collecting and saving the
spores, several kinds may appear in the
same pots. It is reasonable to suppose
the spores in the fern house are being
constantly wafted by currents of air, and
readily attach themselves to fronds of
other species. They are then collected
and after sowing, of course, mixed plants
will result.

As I have previously stated, there is an
increasing demand for ferns in this coun-
try, especially in varieties suitable for
jardiniere work. In fact the demand is
far in excess of the supply, although I
may say millions of ferns are raised an-
nually throughout the country. Also, we
find our old favorite, Nephrolepis Boston-
iensis still in great demand, with the new
and beautiful variety, Piersoni elegantis-
sima, or ornamental Boston fern, and
Nephrolepis Scottii, a wonderfully dense
and compact growing variety, making an
excellent house plant, and a beautiful
center-piece for a table, when grown in
the shallow pan pots. In my humble opin-
ion this excellent fern has a great future
before it.

Best Ferns for Jardinieres.

I shall now enumerate a few varieties
of ferns suitable for filling jardinieres,
of which pterises form the leading fea-
ture ; in fact, the pteris family is for such
work indispensable. P, adiantoides is a
deep green and glossy fern and the vari-
ety argyrea, a showy green and white va-
riety, a native of the East Indies. P.
cretica and its varieties, albo-lineata and
magnified, together with the showy vari-
ety major, are excellent commercial sorts.
P. serrulata and its varieties, cristata,
cristata compacta and densa, are all na-
tives of the tropics. P. tremula is a New
Zealand fern, a quick grower and makes a
nice pot plant, together with the crested
variety, Smithiana.

Aspidium tsussimense ia commonly
known in this city as tensemense. It is
a general favorite on account of its good
keeping qualities, but is somewhat slow
of growth.

Bench of Guruition Victonr at Establishment of Charles ^eber, Lynbrook, L. L, N. Y.

Cyrtomium falcatum, the holly fern, is
a beautiful form and always in demand.
Other good sorts are : Lastrea opaca and
L. chrysoloba, the former from China
and the latter from Brazil; Polystichum
(lastrea) aristata variegata, a dense
green fern with yellow stripes on the
fronds; Onychium Japonicum, or parsley
fern, of Japanese origin; Pteris Chinen-
sis, Polystichum coreaceum, a South Af-
rican fern, which, when well grown, will
make a nice specimen.

Cibotium (Dicksonia) Schiedei is a
beautiful, graceful fern much in demand
by the leading decorators throughout the
country, making a beautiful house plant
and of which stock is always scarce and
difficult to obtain. Sitalobium cicutarium
is a very showy fern and a native of trop-
ical America.

In adiantums we have first to mention A.
cuneatum, decorum and gracillimum, the
latter in demand on account of its light
and graceful appearance, also Adiantum
Croweanum, the new maidenhair which,
owing to its strong, vigorous growth and
long stems will become a general favorite
with the trade where marketing the fronds
is a feature, as well as in private places
where cut maidenhair is always used.

Adiantum Farleyense, the queen of the
maidenhair family, is a native of the
West Indies and is now grown in quanti-
ties by the trade, both as a pot plant or
for cut fronds wherever first-class decora-
tions are a feature. Alsophila Australis
is frequently asked for and very desir-
able, on account of its stately appear-
ance, together with Dicksonia Antarctica,
both of which are Australian ferns.

The davallias are also an interesting
family and the variety buUata is being
sold in large quantities when made up in
fern balls and various other shapes as
received from Japan. The variety Cana-
riensis makes a nice pot fern and readily
develops into .a nice specimen, also the
varieties Fijieosis plumosa and major are
desirable forms to cultivate.

Platyceriums, or stag-horn ferns, are
always interesting on account of their
unique shaped fronds, resembling a stag-
horn. The variety alcicorne ma jus is
a free growing variety and grande a fine
variety, but somewhat scarce.

In taking survey of the ferns I have
mentioned, we owe a great deal to Japan
for her part of the fern flora, as a great
many of our most beautiful species are
natives of that countrv. There are thou-

sands of other varieties of most beautifrl
ferns that time will not permit me to talk
about. Suffice it to say the varieties men-
tioned in my paper are the most popular
from a commercial point of view, and as
ferns increase in demand day by day let
us each do his part to make them more
and more interesting to fern lovers, so
that it can be truly said of each of us,
as by the poet, when he stated:

The green and graceful fern.

How beautiful it Is;
There is not a leaf In all the land

So wonderful, I wis.

Have ye e'er watched it budding.

With each stem and leaf wrapt small.
Coiled up within each other

Lilce a round and hairy ball?

Have ye watched that ball unfolding?

Each closely nestling coll.
Its hair and feathery leaflets.

Their spreading forms uncoil?

O. then most gracefully they wave

In the forest like a sea.
And dor as they are beautiful.

Are these few leaves to me.

VIOLETS IN SASH HOUSE.

Under separate cover I sent you a box
containing two bundles of violet plants
which I grew in a sash house but am
having trouble with. In order that yon
may see better what the trouble is I will
go way back and describe the treatment
they got as well as I can.

About May 1, I received a lot of clumps
from a place fifteen miles distant. They
reached me in fine condition and were
very fine, healthy plants. I divided them
and put them in soil in the house. Be-
fore I put them in the soil I took out
about six inches of the old soil and put
in fresh soil from the fiehl. I put in no
manure, although the soil was not rich.
I kept them syringed well and they all
rooted fine.

In Julv I took out the old soil from
the benches and replaced it with six
inches of field Foil. On top of this T

put about two inches of stable manure,
which was quite rotten, mostly cow
manure mixed with some seaweed, which
1 used for bedding. This seaweed I
got along the bay shore, being washed
up by the water. There was very little
of this seaweed in the manure and it
was well washed out by the rain before
I used it for bedding. I then mixed this
manure well with the soil and planted
my violets in it. This wfts the third week
in July.

I forgot to state that after I had re-
moved the old soil I loosened what re-
mained to the depth of about three inches
and gave it a sprinkling of air-slaked
lime, just enough to whiten the surface,
and raked it into the soil.

I did not take off the sash, as half of
them are ventilators, and I was able to
keep down the temperature nicely. I
shaded the glass with whitewash, but re-
moved it gradually from the middle of
September until near the end of October,
when I took it all off.

I watered them quite often ; that is,
when I thought they needed it, also syr-
inged them occasionally. Have not been
bothered with red spider to my knowledge
and no flies, either, as I fumigated with
hydrocyanic acid gas when I noticed any.
I keep them at 43 degrees at night and
60 degrees in the day time. I heat with
hot water. I have the regular violet
pits, two benches four feet wide and a
walk dug out in the center of the house.
I have solid benches with the soil on the
level with that outside of the houses and
heating pipes fastened to the side of the
house.

On the east side of the south bench
the plants are fine and healthy, but the
west ends of some benches have been go-
ing back for the last six weeks, I send
you two plants to see if you can make
out the cause of my trouble. I also sena
you one plant of the north bench of the
same house, which did finely until about
three weeks ago. Since then they seem
to have stopped growing. The leaves of
this north bench seem to be wrinkled
and yellowish green in color, showing
that they are sick.

I had some stem-rot this summer in
the same house but gave them a top
dressing of air-slaked lime in the end of
September and worked it into the soil. I
also surfaced t,hem once in a while be-
fore that and kept the runners cut off.
The lime stopped the stem rot.

Tlie warm or exotic ferns germinate
iKst in a temperature of say about G-'l
degrees. The cooler or hardy ferns will
germinate in a nuicli lower temperature.
The lirst sign of growth apj)ears in a
faint coloring of green on tiie soil, whi(di
will rapidly cover the Avliole surface. At
the tirst indiciition of the spoi'es making
liny fronds they should he separated in
small jiatches and planted in other pots
or Hats containing fern compost. Over-
Inad \\atei'ing may now be indulged in,
lint use a very line rose on your watering
pot; also keep nnder glass for a time
longer and give more light. They will
soon jieed ili\iding again and presently,
when large enough (o handle', they may
lie pl.aced in 1' iiudi or Ui'i-imdi pots.

Tlu're is mystery attiiched to raising
ferns from spores and it is no uncommon
o-cnrrence for a toltilly different kind to
a|ipear than the one which has been sown.
Also, we liiid when the utmost care has
been taken in eolliH-ting and saving the
spores, several kinds may tippear in the
same pots. It is reasonalde to suppose
the spores in the fern Innise iire being
constantly w.-ifted by currents of air. and
readily atttich thenisehes to fronds of
other spe(di's. They are then collected
and .after sowing, of conr^e. mixed plants
will result.

As J lia\(' )ire\ ionsly si;iiei|. ijiere is an
increasing demand for ferns in this couii-
iry. es])e(dally in \aricties suitable for

far in excess of the sujiply, although I
may say millions of ferns are raised an-
nually throughout the eoiintry. Also, we

before it.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

December 22, 1004.

I have another house planted with Cal-
ifornia violets, which are treated the
same as the Marie Louise plants and
which are doing finely. Bight along some
of the older leaves on the plants would
start to get brown around the edges.
These brown edges would get wider and
wider and dry, until the whole house
would look something like the leaves on
trees that die when winter comes. I kept
these leaves picked off but more would
appear and I still keep finding them.

A. N.

The treatment seems to have been all
right in all the particulars given and the
only thing the correspondent omits to tell
is the kind of soil that he has and what
his drainage facilities are. From the

looks of the plants which he sent we would
come to the conclusion that they were
drowned out by cold, wet drip and over-
watering. J would advise withholding
water supply in a measure and see if I
could not dry out the soil and get it into
a sweeter working condition. In regard
to the seaweed used in the manure, I
hardly think that that could have had
anything to do with it, although I have
never used any as a violet fertilizer, but
having laid as long as he says it did, and
used in small quantities, I do not think it
has cut any figure in the results. Then,
too, it would have affected them earlier
if it were that. I think he will find over-
watering or lack of good drainage, with
cold drii) from the flow pipe, or both, the
cause of his trouble. R. E. Shuphelt.

THRIPS?

I am in trouble with my carnati«(t
buds, which rot before they open. They
expand as far as when they are ready
to turn the petals, but they remain in that
condition and in a day or two after, the
petals get yellow and rot.

I heat the house with hot water, the
expansion tank being an open box, which
is at the end of the house. The tem-
perature is kept at 50 to 54 degrees at
night, with all the air I can possibly give
in the daytime. I have put on a stimu-
lant composed of one peck of well rotted
manure, one 6-inch pot of bone meal
and one 6-inch pot of wood ashes for
250 square feet of bench. This compost
has been put on twice this season, the
plants having been housed on August 15,
watering being done very carefully.

The plants are very healthy, making
fine growth and stem. I have Enchant-
ress, Marquis, Queen Louise, Lawson and
Crane. The last named is the only
one that fully develops; all others, es-
pecially Marquis, are rotting. This trou-
ble is two weeks old now and happened
immediately after I had put on the sec-
ond dressing and started to fire up
harder. J. H.

certainly think it is caused by some in-
sect and thrips would be my first guess.

A. F. J. Baub.

CARNATION HELEN GODDARD.

This seedling is the result of a cross
between Lawson and Crane. The raiser
is Samuel J. Goddard, Framingham, Mass.
The habit of the plant is about inter-
mediate between the two parents. The
flowers are of a beautiful rosy pink color
somewhat lighter than Lawson and with-
out any of the objectionable coloring pe-
culiar to that variety. The stems are
long and strong and burst calyxes are
unknown. Helen Goddard has won an in-
creasing number of admirers each time
it has been shown in Boston. It has al-
ready received recognition from the plant
committee and when next shown will
score a higher award. "W. N. C.

I am not sure that I can tell posi-
tively what ails your carnations, but I
suspect they are badly infested with
thrips. If you had sent a sample bud I
could have told you for certain whether
or not this is the trouble. Pull the petals
apart and look for a tiny insect about
one-sixteenth of an inch long. The color
varies from almost white to a deep
brown. They are very active and you
will have to look sharp. To get rid of
them you will have to go after them vig-
orously, as it must be a bad case to de-
stroy all the blooms. Get a pint of
some tobacco extract, like To-bak-ine, and
spray them according to directions every
morning for two weeks, unless you can
see that the thrips have disappeared.

I don't think the feed you gave them
is responsible ioi the trouble, although it
is a little more than I would recommend.
If the plants are in good, vigorous
growth and free from disease I should

GO SLOW WITH CARNATIONS.

When this reaches you, you will not
have much time for cultural details, but
I just want to remind you not to drop
the temperature in your carnation houses
too quickly. Don't think that because
you forced them extra strong you can
make it up to them by running them

down to the other extreme for a while.
You could do nothing worse. Drop it
gradually, a degree each night, until
you have it normal again. You will want
blooms right along anyway and a sudden
drop would not help you tol get them.
If the forcing has weakened the stems
somewhat you can give them a light
sprinkling of wood ashes and water them
in well. Give all the air you can.

Here's hoping that you have a large
cut and a good demand at fair prices,
therefore a merry Christmas time.

VARIEGATED LAWSON.

W. B. Arnold, of the Eockland Green-
houses, Rockland, Mass., secured a first-
class certificate for this very promising
sport when shown in Boston on Janu-
ary 30, 1904. He now has a house con-
taining 2,000 plants, which are a won-
derful sight. The house was planted late,
September 15, and picking commenced
November 10. Burst flowers are un-
known. Stems*-of Variegated Lawson are
longer than in the old type and the flower
has a fine odor. It opens very quickly
and is a great keeper. Having grown a
few plants furnished by Mr. Arnold
we have failed to notice any faults and
it has been a pleasure to grow it. Our
experience would be that it produces at
least three flowers to one of that popular
variety, Mrs. Patten, which it greatly re-
sembles in color. W. N. C.

AMERICAN CARNATIONS.

The following is from the report in
the Gardeners' Chronicle of an exhi-
bition November 29 of the Royal Hor-
ticultural Society of Great Britain:

Carnation Enchantress. — A very large-flowered
tree or wintering-flowering variety. The color
is a very delicate shade of pink. An excellent
flower, but possessing very little fragrance
(Award of Merit). .^ ^ • ^

Carnation The President.— A tree variety,
having beautifully formed flowers of deep nin-
roon-crlmson color; exceedingly rich. The
petals, however, are fringed, and we could not
detect any fragrance (Award of Merit).

Carnation Adonis.— This variety has bright
red-colored flowers, with rather more fragrance
than the others, and less fringed petals. All
the varieties named above and some others were
shown by Messrs. Bell & Sheldon, Guernsey,
who showed a collection of much merit. Bach
of the three varieties that gained an award,
was, we believe, raised In America.

PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED.

[THE FLOWER GARDETN; A Handbook of
Practical Garden Lore, by Ida D. Bennett; Mc-
Clure, Phillips & Co., New York, *2, net.]

It was a true word that was spoken
by the sponsors for a new gardening
magazine when, in their announcement,
they said that more about gardening
has been published in 1904 than in any
preceding year; theirs was also a safe
prediction that 1905 will see the record
of 1904 exceeded in the matter of horti-
cultural literature. To those who gain
their livelihood through the exchange of
horticultural commodities this is a rea-
son for felicitation, for whatever in-
spires in the people a love for plants
and flowers is distinctly worthy of en-
couragement for commercial reasons. All
that should be required to gain the stamp
of approval at the hands of the men
who grow plants for profit is assurance
that the statements are true and the
teachings sane and practical.

It is an occasion for regret that these
characteristics are not found in all that
purports to be gardening literature, but
The Flower Garden, by Ida D. Bennett,
which has already reached its second edi-
tion-, is worthy of its sub-title, "a hand-
book of practical garden lore." It is
a volume of 281 pages, handsomely
printed and bound, freely illustrated
with excellent half-tone reproductions of
photographs made for the purpose. There
are twenty chapters, covering in detail
all the operations of plant grow-
ing and garden making, including
soils, fertilizers, handling the hot-
beds, etc., with comprehensible cul-
tural directions for all the plants com-
monly met with in the collections of
amateurs. It is such matter as any flor-
ist should be glad to see, and aid in plac-
ing ia the hands of his customers and
their neighbors.

There are very helpful tables giving
the blooming wagon of ..^various trees,
shrubs anfl plants, the comAon and bo-
tanical names of plants and flowers and
the time required for the germination of
seeds of many plants. The whole is
fully Indexed.

WITH BOSTON GROWERS.

The Boston Gardeners' and Florists'
Club went to PVamingham for its field
day December 17 and the members were
fortunate in having a very pleasant day.
^Over thirty made the trip by electric and
steam cars, and but for the nearness of
Christmas, which kept some busy at home,
the number would have been much larger.
Owing to the severe illness of J. T. But-
terworth it was thought best to postpone
a visit to that gentleman's place in order
that the genial proprietor might himself
escort the party around.

Wm. Nicholson.

On arrival at Framingham Center, the
establishment of William Nicholson was
first visited. Everything in the green-
houses was found in fine condition. Prin-
cipal interest, -of course, centered in the
carnations, which are largely grown and
have always been a specialty here. It was
especially noticeable that stock in the
newest and roomiest houses was much su-
perior to that grown in the older 100-foot
houses, which were a dozen years ago con-
sidered the acme of perfection for carna-
tion culture, also that the atmosphere was
far more genial.

Prosperity seemed to be doing better
than ever, judging from the heavy crop
of immense flowers it was carrying. Mrs.
M. A. Patten is grown in quantity and
seemed to b6' doing very satisfactorily.
Some Mrs. Bradt are still grown and a
batch of Stella look«d well. JWge^JIins-
dale waanot of a taking color. In whites,
Wolcott was doing beautifully, no burst
flowers noticed. I^ady Bountiful was giv-
ing a good crop of fine flowers, some a
little thin in petalage, but the form of the
flower and its purity surpassed any other
white. The Queen was far the heaviest
producer of all the whites, being a per-
fect mass of flowers and buds. A bench
grown inside all summer, from which
flowers had been picked since September
1, was still smothered with bloom. White

Lawson produces freely, but stems are too
short compared with other sorts grown. A
seedling white from K. Witterstaetter
looked like a fine thing.

In crimsons Harry Fenn seemed to be
the most prolific. Its warm, scarlet crim-
son color is very taking. Ward's Presi-
dent is also fine, as was Harlowarden, but
the latter seemed to be less free. As an
outdoor summer bloomer it was pro-
nounced first-class. Governor Roosevelt
is also grown. A bench of Flamingo car-
ried some splendid flowers on ideal stems
but this variety ia not classed as likely
to be a profitable one commercially. J.
H. Manley was in fine shape. In yellows,
Eldorado is mostly planted, being grown
inside all summer. It looked clean and
was producing a fine crop. Dorothy Whit-
ney also looked promising.

In light pinks honors were about evenly
divided between Enchantress and Fair
Maid, the former having the finest flow-
ers, the latter the most flowers. In dark
pinks a few Nelson Fisher are grown.
We did not consider it equal to Lawson,
which is grown in quantity. Floriana did
not strike us as being of particular value.
Ethel Ward is a nice medium variety of
rosy pink color with a high built center.
A crimson seedling from I^illedouze Bros,
has the earmarks of a valuable sort and
some other seedlings of Mr. Nicholson's
own raising were promising. The prop-
agating house was full of cuttings and
thousands are already boxed off. The
best carnations noted were planted on
July 28.

In addition to carnations some other
good things were noted. Plants of the
old orange scarlet West Brighton Gem
geranium were in fine bloom for Christ-
mas sales. A bench of mignonette car-
ried some magnificent spikes. Large
batches of Primula Sinensis and P. ob-
conica, cyclamens and Begonia incarnata
looked well. Princess of Wales and Camp-
bell violets were clean and full of bloom.
Lilies, antirrhinums, sweet peas, freesias

and other crops were all coming along in
good shape. After an inspection of the
boiler plant an adjournment was made to
the packing shed, where an excellent
lunch was served by the Misses Nicholson,
to which the visitors did ample justice.
James Wheeler, on behalf of the club,
thanked Mr. Nicholson for his kind enter-
tainment and called for three cheers,
which were heartily given, followed by
the singing of "He's a jolly good fel-
low."

S. J. Goddard*

A few minutes' walk took the members
to S. J. Goddard's new establishment.
Here everything was found in apple pie
order. Mr. Goddard also operates an older
plant situated some two miles away from
his newer and more central location. Time
did not permit of a visit to it. Mr. God-
dard's new seedlings were greatly ad-
mired by all the visitors. Helen Goddard,
which attracted much favorable notice at
the late chrysanthemum show, was a
beautiful sight. The flowers are of a
clear, rose pink color, without the slight-
est trace of purple or magenta, stem and
calyx perfect. A bench of Mrs. Lawson
grown alongside looked dull and sour by
comparison. We predict great popularity
for this variety. Another seedling of a
warm flesh color, the color being even all
over the flower, is also bound to become
popular. Two pure white seedlings are
also under trial, also several of other col-
ors.

Of the standard sorts, The Queen was
carrying a great crop. White Lawson
seemed free but a little lacking in stem.
Lady Bountiful carried some splendid
flowers. There was a good batch of Mari-
on Buxton, one of Geo. B. Buxton's
seedlings, a light pink variety. Fair Maid
and Enchantress are grown as light pinks.
Mrs. Patten as a striped sort and Harry
Fenn and J. H. Manley are the favorite
crimsons and scarlets respectively. For a
yellow. Mr, Goddard grows a bench of one
of his own seedlings, rather a coppery yel-
low shade with carmine markings. All
the carnations were in splendid condition.
A variety of other stock, such as lilies,
cyclamens, freesias, violets and primulas,
are grown here and at the older estab-
lishnient.

An adjournment was made to Mr. God-
dard's house after the houses had been
inspected and ice cream and other refresh-
ments were served bv Mrs. Goddard and

Mrs. Hale. A rather hurried rush for a
Boston car passing tho door prevented the
extension of thanks to Mr. and Mrs. God-
dard for their courtesies. Some of the
poorest sprinters had difficulty in get-
ting on the car, and some, we fear, were
left behind, but no doubt got home later.
After two collations in one afternoon it
is doubtful if the members could do cus-
tomary justice to their Saturday evening
beans and brown bread on reaching home.

Among those in the party were Janirs
Wheeler, J. W. Duncan, Robert Cameron,
M. A. Patten, E. Sutermeister, W. Kid-
der, F. H. Meade, E. O. Orpet, Alex Ogg,
F. Drewett, W. E. Fischer, E. Johannson,

WILLIAM NICHOLSON.

One of the best known florists' estab-
lishments in Massachusetts is that of
William Nicholson, at Framingham. The
proprietor is an Englishman by birth,
hailing from Windermere, in Westmore-
land, in the beautiful lake district, which
is one of the Meccas for Americans who
are touring the British Isles.

Mr. Nicholson arrived in America on ,
September 23, 1873, to take charge of
the estate of W. H. Mellen, of the firm
of Claflin, Mellen & Co., of New York.
He managed Mr. Mellen 's Framingham
property for fifteen years, growing among
other staples, cucumbers, tomatoes and
carnations. These were the days when
tomatoes netted fancy prices in winter,
occasionally bringing as much as $2.25
per pound in the Boston market. Cu-
cumbers also sold at prices calculated to
turn present day growers green with
envy.

On Mr, Mellen 's death, in 1888, Mr.
Nicholson hired the plant for two years,
removing in 1890 to his present stand,
Pleasant Hill Conservatories. In his
first year he erected three houses, two 20x
100 and one 16x100, and has added to his
plant on various occasions until now it
is of quite large proportions. The car-
nations grown in 1890 included such old-
time favorites as Mrs. Fisher, Grace
Wilder, Astoria, Buttercup, Anna Webb,
F. Mangold, Hinze's White and Portia,
all good in their day but not comparable

to Enchantress, Fair Maid, Roosevelt,
Patten and others of today. While carna-
tions have always been the leading speci-
alty at Pleasant Hill and have won many
prizes at the Boston shows, a general as-
sortment of other stock is grown. A good
deal is sold at home, the balance being
disposed of at the Park street market, Bos-
ton, of which Mr. Nicholson is one of the
directors. Since the inception of the Amer-
ican Carnation Society he has been one
of the strongest supporters. When the
society met in Boston in 1895 his name-
sake, Nicholson, a fine, dark pink vari-
ety, was well shown. Several years ago
he was elected to the presidency of the
society, which position he filled with
credit.

Mr. Nicholson is an active member of
the S. A. F., C. S. A., American Rose
Society, Massachusetts Horticultural So-
ciety and Boston Gardeners' and Flor-
ists' Club. He is also prominent in Ma-
sonic circles. His eldest son, William R.
Nicholson, a stalwart who stands six
feet three inches, is associated with him
in the business and should make a worthy
successor to the subject of this brief
sketch when the latter decides that he has
earned a sufficient competency to enable
him to enjoy life more leisurely. We do
not imagine, however, that such a day
will ever come in a florist 's life, any
more than in that of our frenzied finan-'
ciers. W. N. Craig.

THE FADELESS FLOWER.

We are indebted to our esteemed con-
temporary, the New York Sun, for the
information that it is upon his thorn-
less cactus that Luther Burbank has de-
veloped his fadeless flower. Once upon
a time there was a saying, "If you see
it in the Sun it 's so. ' ' We hope it may
hold good in this case and shall wish that
the cactus flower may perfume the des-
ert air to ambrosial sweetness; but we
haven't any other use for everlastings,
except on women 's bonnets.

TOMATOES.

What is the best tomato for forcing?
"When should the seed be sown to have
them in crop by March 15? What is the
method of culture? J. H. T.

If I were cut down to one tomato for
forcing I think I would choose Lorillard,
as it is a general well-doer, being less in-
fluenced by soil and location than some of
the others. Stirling Castle and Best of
All are also good varieties, the former
being an extra free setter, though the
fruit is smaller than that of Lorillard.
You are too late now to sow seeds to
have the plants in crop by March 15, as,
under the most suitable conditions and
with the best of care and attention, to-
matoes require at least four months from
the time of sowing until the plants are
in full crop.

If it is important that you should have
your crop ready for the above date I
would advise you to procure plants now
rather than wait for the seedlings. You
ought to be able to get good, strong
plants in 2^/4 -inch pots and by keeping
them moved up and planted as soon as
ready you should have no trouble in oc-
complishing your purpose. I see such
plants of the Lorillard variety adver-
tised in the issue of December 8 at $2
per hundred, so unless your house is very
large it won't cost much to fill it.

Regarding cultivation, I can give but
a brief outline here; to enter into details
would take too much space. The seeds
should be sown thinly in a rather light,
free and finely sifted soil. This should
be kept moist but not wet. After the seed-
lings are up and large enough to handle,
prick over into flats at a distance of
about two inches apart, using a rather
richer soil than recommended for the
seed pans. Shade for a few days until
the plants have taken to the new soil,
then gradually expose to full sunlight to
keep the growth stocky. Before the
plants begin to crowd one another in the
flats they should be potted up into 214-
inch pots. From this they can be moved
into 5-inch and from this into the benches.

Eaised benches are best for tomatoes
and these should be about six inches deep.
The best soil is a good, fibrous loam, well
enriched with manure. A good propor-
tion is three parts of soil to one of
manure. But unless the soil is to stand
for some time before being used it is
important that the manure iS pretty well
decomposed. The addition of a sprink-
ling of bone meal is often advantageous
but the necessity of adding this depends
a good deal on the quality of your soil.
Set your plants eighteen inches apart and
train to a single stem. I like the double
stem system, but by waiting for your
plants to bre^k and branch you would be

losing time. By single stem I mean to
keep all side shoots pinched off as they
appear and concentrate all the strength
in the one stem. As the flowers appear they
should be pollinated by hand to insure a
free set. During bright weather the shak-
ing of the vines is often enough to dis-
tribute the pollen, but to make sure it
is better to run over them with a camel's
hair brush, choosing the brightest part
of the day for the operation, when the
pollen is dry and easier set free.

The points of your plants may be
stopped when they are anywhere from
four to six feet in length, but this, of
course, must be regulated according to
the height of your house. Tomatoes re-
quire plenty of water and when the fruit
is set and the benches well filled with
roots they can be materially assisted by
frequent applications of liquid manure.
The best temperature is from 60 to 65 de-
grees by night, with a rise of from 15
to 20 degrees by day, according to the
brightness of the weather.

INDOOR GRAP£RIES.

Varieties.
Like most other classes of fruit, there
are too many varieties of Vitis vini-
fera, the species best adapted for indoor
cultivation, though the good ones are
really limited. The varieties are, I be-
lieve, entirely of European origin. None
of the American growers seem to have
become interested enough to try and raise

new varieties, but when their cultivation
comes to be more general, which I hope
will be the case before many years,
probably some of the more enterprising
of our growers will turn their attention
to this matter and do for the indoor
grape what they have done for the out-
door species, for the apple, pear, plum,
etc., and produce some varieties of
American origin that will supersede any-
thing heretofore introduced.

The selection of varieties will depend
entirely on the season at which the
grapes are to be forced. For an early
house the more quickly maturing varie-
ties will, of course, be necessary. For
this the old stand-by. Black Hamburg,
is easily the leafler and, if a black
grape only is wanted, I should say plant
your house of this variety alone. With
average care and attention to the ripen-
ing of the wood it is a sure cropper, a
free setter and clean, healthy grower. It
is of good size, both in bunch and
berry, is easily colored and firm enough
to stand shipping from California to
Maine if properly packed.

If a white grape is desired the earliest
is Buckland Sweetwater. Though this
cannot be compared with the Muscat
varieties for quality and flavor, it is
nevertheless a good grape and where
white and black are to be forced together
in an early house it is better suited as
a companion for Black Hamburg than
are the Mtiscat varieties, as it matures
at the same time and requires the same
temperature and atmospheric conditions.

The Weekly Florists' Rcvicti^J

Dbckhbbr 22, 1904.

The MuBcats require a higher tempera-
ture and neither bloom nor mature so
early as Hamburg.

The Muscat varieties are all more or
less what might be termed high class
grapes and are handled to best advantage
when grown in a house by themselves.
One of their worst features is that they
are all somewhat shy in setting. While
it does not take long to run over the
bunches with a soft brush and insure
proper pollination, it is not so much in
the lack of pollen that the trouble lies;
it seems to be more due to the failure
of the pollen to fertilize the flower.
During the prevalence of bright weather
a reasonably good set can usually be
counted on, but if dull weather prevails
the set is often disappointing. Light
seems to play a very important part in
this matter and I find that by tying back
some of the leaves and exposing the
bunches as much as possible to the light,
a good set can usually be secured un-
less the weather is exceptionally dull
during the flowering period. Muscat of
Alexandria is one of the best white
grapes we have. It produces a good,
large bunch, with very large, firm berries
of a distinct Muscat flavor. Bowood
Muscat is so much like Alexandria that
it is needless to grow both. Canon Hall
Muscat, also white, is larger both in

bunch and berry but more shy in setting
and less desirable on that accotint.
Mioflcat Hamburg is one of the best
black grapes in this class. It may be
a matter of taste, but for eating quali-
ties I think it is the finest grape grown.
Madersfield Court is larger in berry than
Muscat Hamburg and is also a beautiful
grape, but the berries are sometimes apt
to crack when nearing the ripening stage.

For late grapery there is not a really
good white with the necessary keeping
qualities, but there are several good
black varieties. Black Alicante is the
best looking and easiest finished. Bar-
barossa makes the largest bunches, but
Gros Colmar is the best keeper of the
lot; in place of losing it improves in
flavor by keeping, not being really good
until after it has been kept for some
time. This variety cut in December, when
the falling of the leaves robs them of
their natural shade, can be kept in good
condition in a cool cellar until the fol-
lowing April.

Though there are some fifty varieties
of Vitis vinifera more or less in culti-
vation the few enumerated are among
the best for commercial purposes. Some
of the others are good under certain
conditions only, while some I do not con-
sider worth growing under any condi-
tions. W. S. Croydon.

SEASONABLE TREATMENT.

The ordinary care of stock during the
short and sunless days of the next month
requires a deal of forethought and
skill to get the best results and he who
would be successful must keep his think-
ing cap on most of the time. To induce
crops to come at the time when there is
the greatest demand and best prices re-
quires some study and calculation, which
should be based upon tharough knowledge
of the quality of soil used and the con-
stituents of your water supply, and your
past observance of attending conditions.

Soils being so unlike in character in
the different localities, it is not possible
to give blanket advice as to the treatment
of stock during the winter months so that
each grower will have to be guided in p.
Creat measure by the quality of soil and
water at his command. Where the soil is
of a heavy, clayey nature there is less
need of liquid feeding and more need of
light and frequent mulching to keep the
soil in the bench from cracking. If there
is a deficiency of lime in the soil or water
this should be added at frequent inter-
vals. Where the soil is of a light, fri-
able nature the mulching should consist
of material containing large quantities

of nitrogen, such as cow manure, and the
liquid food should be made from the same
material.

Wood ashes contain many of the ele-
ments necessary to the formation of ro-
bust growth and, if used with caution,
aid materially in giving vigor to the
plant. Bone meal, which contains about
the proper amount of phosphorus and
ammonia, can also be used with benefit
but there is danger in using. this in com-
bination with other ingredients, such as
hrae, which will release these elements
too rapidly.

To help hasten a crop it is often advis-
able to use nitrate of soda but as this
is a very concentrated food and quick in
its iHtion it has to be used with great
care. Using it once a week one pound
is sufficient for fifty gallons of water at
this season.

A? the days begin to lengthen the
quantities of feeding material can be in-
creased but it is good policy to- increase
very slowly, as root action for some time
to ccme is very sluggish and frequently
there is considerable damage done to
stock by being over kind to it at this
season.

If crops are somewhat tardy during
.the dark weather it is safer to rather low-
er the temperature than raise it, as this
calls for less water and keeps the plants
from getting soft. While the cut may
not be quite so large, the plants will
gain in vitality and the quality of the
cut will be better, the wood for a future

crop will be of a better quality and, all
things considered, the grower will be a
gainer by the end of the season.

BEAUTIES LOSING FOLIAGE.

Please explain the theory of holding
the foliage on American Beauties dur-
. ing continued dark weather in winter. I
refer to young plants benched in four
and one-half inches of soil in June, light-
ly top-dressed with cow manure two
months later and given a little wood
ashes in October and then a little bone
meal in November. The plants have Deen
bearing high grade blooms and look well.
The temperature has been even and mod-
erate, both day and night. Ventilation
has been given whenever possible. The
loss of leaves is entirely on the old
wood. Also, does an increasing number
of deformed buds, chiefly on the heavy
shoots of these Beauties, indicate a de-
ficiency in the soil? If so, what is the
remedy? Reader,

Had this correspondent enclosed some
leaves and buds for inspection! it would
have simplified matters, as I am in the
dark without them. It looks very much
like a case of black spot, from the fact
that the trouble seems to be with the old-
er leaves. Spray with a solution of car-
bonate of copper (cupram), using five
ounces of the carbonate to three quarts
of ammonia and sixty gallons of water.
The spraying should be done once a week,
using a very fine nozzle, taking particular
care to wet every part of the plant. Als'
pick off all affected leaves and burn
them.

The cause of deformed buds at this sea-
son is usually thrips. This can be ascer-
tained bv carefully dissecting one of the
buds and keeping a careful watch for the
insect, which is small and very lively and
apt to escape observation. Light and
persistent fumigation with tobacco fumes
will soon reduce the number and if a
small amount of red pepper is added the
effect is sure extermination.

These malformations can also be
brought on by overfeeding during dark
weather. Ribes.

MOISTURE FOR DRACAENAS.

The beauty and value of dracsenaa
consist, in a great measure, upon their
retaining leaves down to the rim of the
pot, and plants destitute of their bot-
tom leaves exhibit proof that something
is imperfect in their culture. This, it
may be concluded, refers to compara-
tively young plants, as it is natural for
old ones to lose their lower foliage. It
is during the short days that plants are
most likely to become disfigured in this
manner, and it may be easily brought
about by careless watering, either by
keeping the soil too wet or too dry, while
a free use of the syringe damages the
young leaves, more particularly those of
the light or highly-colored kinds. A light
position is likewise essential to their
well-being, and we find the best place
for young plants is upon shelves near the
glass, in a house commanding a night
temperature of 60 degrees. — Gardeners'

WINTER FLOWERING PLANTS

When the chrysanthemums are past
their best one turns for something bright
•and cheerful to take their place, and
during the dull months there are few col-
ors more taking than scarlet or red. In
years gone by camellias were all the
rage, but these have now lost favor, as
we must now have something less formal,
and plants must be grown by the hun-
dreds for decorative purposes.

Plants that were formerly considered
too tender for ordinary use are now
grown under different conditions, and on
that account rendered more useful. For
instance, poinsettias were treated as hard-
wooded plants and nqw they are grown
almost like annuals, cuttings being
rooted during the summer in a frame,
and these grown on during the summer
without heat, keeping them sturdy until
the autumn, when they are taken into
a house with a temperature of from 55
to 60 degrees, and here they make heads
of bracts from a foot to fifteen inches
in diameter. To grow these well some
little care is necessary. In the first
place, the cuttings should be taken off
with a heel of the old wood, when about
three inches long. These should at once
be dipped in fine sand, to prevent their
bleeding. To prevent them flagging it is
preferable to have the pots ready, so that
the cuttings can be inserted and placed
in the propagating case quickly. As soon
as rooted they should be hardened off
ready for a shift into larger pots, for
if allowed to remain in their cutting
pots the foliage is sure to fall. They
ought to be grown in a cool pit, near
the glass, during the summer and here
they will grow sturdy, so that when in-
troduced into heat in the autumn they
soon commence to throw up their bracts.

The most useful of the euphorbias is
jacquinffiflora. Cuttings rooted in the
same way as recommended for the poin-
settias will do well, but they must, how-
ever, be given a trifle more heat during
the growing season. If the pots are
plunged in a slight hot-bed the plants
will grow away freely, and make growths
from two to three feet in length. When
introduced into the stove in the autumn
they should be grown in the full sun-
light, when they will flower for the
greater portion of their length.

Thyrsacanthus rutilans used to be a
great favorite, its long, graceful racemes
of flowers hanging down for a couple
of feet or so, producing a pretty effect.
Cuttings of the young shoots should be
rooted in spring, and the plants grown
on un_der cool treatment during summer.
When taken into the stove house see that
they do not suffer for want of moisture,
and they will then well repay all the labor
spent on them.

Clerodendron fallax, when well grown,
is a very showy plant in winter. It may
be raised either from seed or cuttings.
If by the former method, seeds must
be sown as early in the season as pos-
sible, so that the plants may have time

to grow to a good size. When cuttings
are used these should be rooted in May,
the plants being grown on in the same
way as recommended for poinsettias.

Acalypha hispida is another bright
winter subject that ought to receive spe-
cial care. There should be no difficulty
in working up a stock of this, as it
roots freely from cuttings made of the
young shoots in spring. Scutellaria moc-
ciniana, and the scarlet bouvardias, are
all useful winter flowering subjects,
bright and cheerful, and requiring much
the same treatment, and though of
course, some grow much stronger than
others. Many people fail to grow these
things well because they are afraid to
treat them liberally during their season
of growth. For bouvardias to be useful
the flower stems should be from fifteen
to eighteen inches in length, and as thick
as a lead pencil; they will then have
heads of bloom that will stand erect
when cut. — Oardeners' Magazine.

HELIOTROPES AS POT PLANTS.

This well-known plant is not so exten
sively cultivated as it deserves, and is
very seldom seen grown in pots for win-
ter blooming. The beautiful racemes of
flowers, varying from white to a deep
purple shade, and the delicious fra-
grance which they emit, make it very use-
ful either for decorating purposes or cut
flower work, and never fail to be a
source of admiration from those who
once see them at their best. The cut-
tings should be taken about Septem-

sof t water, and on no account should they
be allowed to become dry at the root.

When the plants are well rooted they
may be potted off singly into 4-inch pots
and carefully watered until well estab-
lished, when they may be gradually
worked into a cooler temperature, and
afterwards placed in 6-inch pots, in which
they are to flower. As the plants grow,
all side shoots and bloom must be picked
out, and when all fear of frost has gone
they may be placed out of doors and
Fheltered for a time from cold and cut-
ting winds, and when at heights varying
from one foot to two feet they may be
stopped, and as side shoots again appear,
they must be picked out, leaving only a
few at the top to form a head, which
will give the plants a more shapely ap-
pearance. During the period in which they
are out of doors they may be fed with
artificial manures, and some soot water
may also be used, as this imparts a good
clark color to the foliage, and as bloom
shows it must be pinched out.

About September the plants may be
brought into a cool house and arranged
in a group in which they are to flower,
and when the bloom buds are well ad-
vanced all feeding must be discontinued
and water administered carefully or the
foliage will become yellow. When the
weather becomes colder the ventilators
must be drawn in, and the temperature
should not be allowed to fall below 50
degrees, and as the flowers fade they
should, be removed to encourage the suc-
ceeding blooms to furnish the plants
tlirough the winter. — Gardening World.

ber and placed six or eight thick in some
fine, sandy soil in 48-8ized pots and put
under handlights on a hotbed, where they
must be shaded from brilliant sunshine.
If the cuttings are well watered when
they are put in, an occasional syringing
will suffice them till they are rooted,
when they may be removed and placed
near the glass in a warm, moist atmos-

65 degrees. While the plants are grow-
ing they require copious syringings of

FRANK H. TRAENDLY.

President Traendly, of the New York
Florists* Club, was born in Brooklyn some
thirty-seven years ago. He was "to the
manor born," his father having had a
long experience in the florists' business.
At the age of 16 years the son was gath-
ering experience with Fred Donohue, on
Fourteenth street, and later on West
Twenty-seventh street, with Thos. Young,
Jr.

It was in 1893 he ventured on the
wholesale sea, forming a partnership with
Charles Schenck, with whom, at 44 West
Twenty-eighth street, he is senior mem-
ber of the firm of Traendly & Schenck,
wholesale florists. Here, in their new
store, they conduct a splendid business.

Mr. Traendly 's services to the New
York Florists' Club during the past year
received practical demonstration in his
unanimous re-election to the presidency.
Xo one holding the office has ever worked
more indefatigably or made a better
record. Every cXxxh meeting has seen in-
creased interest. He has made his fu-
ture responsibility no easy burden by the
high mark set in 1904.

Secretary John Young was, of course,
re-elected, as was Treasurer Weathered,
both having served the club long and
faithfully. The new member of the
executive staff is J. Austin Shaw, vice-
president.

NEW YORK.

The Market

After Monday of last week the market
declined until before the end of the week
values had shrunken fully twenty-five per
cent from the early quotations. The week
before Christmas is always the dullest of
the winter season. Dark, cold weather
aided in the general depression. The
gupply of stock was not over-abundatii
ncyr the quality the best. With a con-
tinuance of the cloudy skies there seems
no possibility of an oversupply for
Christmas or any excuse for pickling, the
market readily absorbing all the growers
can send in from day to day. So far as
consultation with those who dispose of
the flowers can aid us, we estimate on
another page the probable prices for Sat-
urday of the present week. There is no
good reason apparent why they should go
higher and at these figures not a flower
need be left unsold.

Everything now indicates a good,
healthy, normal Christmas trade, with an
abundance for all in the aggregate and
universal cause among growers, whole-
salers and retailers for a Merry Christ-
mas.

The Plant Trade.

It has become fashionable of late years
to designate the holiday as "a plant
Christmas" and this will be no excep-
tion to the rule. Baskets and boxes and,
liampers and many novelties will do ser-
vice, kettles, tripods, wooden shoes, mail
pouches and the Russian green pompon
designs in many a unique form will all
be seen. Plants of oranges, ericas,
hyacinths, primulas, cyclamens, poinset-
tias, Lorraine begonias, lilies, ardisias,
orchids and azaleas will be most in evi-
dence, Avhile draca'nas, arauearias and
Scottii and elegantissima ferns, among
plants, will be largest in demand.

Christmas Greens.

The supply of first-class holly is not
abundant. The poor quality sells in the
open market at just half the price of the
legitimate, and is worth less than half.
To those on the ground where examina-
tion of both grades is possible it is very
easy to appreciate the difference, but the
out of town florist cannot seem to com-
prehend it. Far better to give orders
in advance at reasonable prices and se-
cure the supply through the regular trade
sources than to depend on the unsalable
stuff that reaches the wholesale butcher
and grocer commission man from any-
where and everywhere and is dear at any
price.

There will be millions of galax used
this year. Holly wreaths of immense size
made to order by the wholesale green
goods men sell as high as $5 each. None
but first-class goods of this kind are now
handled by the retail stores. To the
butcher and the grocer has been passed
over all the cheap trade in wreaths and
stars and roping and all Christmas trees
and, all things considered, it is a blessed
relief to the average florist to escape the
additional labor and risk entailed by this
unremunerative trade.

BEGONIA GLOIRE DE SCEAUX.

Among winter flowering begonias this
variety possesses distinct characters, both
in the habit of its growth and the color
of its foliage, and these attributes, apart
from its great value as a flowering plant,
arc sufficiently good to secure for it gen-
eral cultivation. When grown during
the summer, with liberal rooting space,
and under warm stove conditions, it
forms large specimens, too large really
for general use, though we have found
j)lants of this description valuable for
grouping. Plants for ordinary purposes
are best grown in a cooler temperature,
and when they are coming into bloom
it is especially undesirable to subject
them to a high temperature, as this would
shorten their flowering season. They
are most satisfactory when placed, while"
in flower, in a warm, moderately dry
and light position, and given weak sup-
plies of liquid manure. Care should be
taken to keep the stems well secured to
stakes, otherwise the plants may be
greatly damaged, owing to the weight of
their heads. — Gardeners' Magazine.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market*

The market is in a very uncertain con-
dition at the present writing. Business in
the stores is quiet, all interest being cen-
tered in the last two days of this week.
There is a little shipping of the better
grades of stock to outside cities, but be-
yond that the wholesale houses are not
busy. Today's price-list is, of course, use-
less for lYiday and Saturday. Indica-
tions point to higher prices than last year
on choice red roses and carnations. The
cold, stormy weather of the past two
weeks has retarded the crops and it is
feared in consequence the quantity of
poor flowers will be large. The consensus
of opinion is that fancy American Beau-
ties will bring $12 to $15 a dozen, with
the lower grades in proportion, and that
all will be rather scarce; that Liberties
will bring about the same price as last
year, with a fair supply in sight; that
good Maids and Brides will be scarce at
20 cents, a few higher, but the bulk of
the stock will range from $15 down ; that
good red carnations will be extremely
scarce; that Enchantress and other fan-
cies will be in fair supply at $10 to
$12.50, the ordinary grades, the standard
varieties, being pretty plentiful at from
$3 to $4, the gap between these prices
being filled by the select sorts at from
$6 to $8.

Poinsettias will be abundant and very
fine. Valley will be in splendid quality
and so plentiful that late orders on Sat-
urday and Sunday are pretty sure to be
filled. Chrysanthemums, except a few odd
lots, are over. Violets will be in moderate
Bupply, with the doubles at $1.50 to $2,
singles at $1 or more. Orchids, except
cypripediums, will be scarce and greens
of all sorts plentiful.

The Plant Trade.

Large wholesale firms which make a
specialty of foliage and flowering plants
for Christmas report a satisfactory busi-
ness for the holidays. The Henry A. Dreer
Co. said this week that their business,
chiefly in palms and ferns and other dec-
orative plants, was about equal to last

yoof; — with — ordCTS — coming tH~nicely.
Charles D. Ball's view of the situation
was very much the same, while Joseph
Heacock's business in kentias was larger
this month than his palm business any
previous December. Robert Craig & Son
report a good demand for Gloire de Lor-
raine, cyclamens, azaleas, ferns and single

plants of poinsettias, Dracaena terminalis,
Bougainvillea Sanderiana, also some very
nice combinations of plants of dracsenas
and ferns and poinsettias, pretty nearly
cleaning up on everything. Wm. K. Har-
ris experienced an excellent demand for
his very choice collection of holiday plants,
which included Ponderosa lemons very
well colored, buttercup primroses in from
4-inch pots to 12-inch pans, gardenias
and an assortment of almost every foliage
plant, Aucuba Japonica, etc. John &
W. H. Westcott include among their
Christmas specialties some very handsome
Gloire de Liorraine.

Various Notes.

Bayersdorfer & Co. are very busy, re-
porting splendid demand for their ad-
vanced ideas in holiday novelties.

M. Rice & Co. have shipped immense
quantities of Christmas supplies and say
that business is exceptionally good.

J. Stern & Co. have their windows filled
with some very well done artificial plants,
chiefly caladiums. Caladium argyrites
look particularly natural.

Alphonse Pericat was arrested by his
former employer, G«orge B. Wilson, on
the charge of stealing some pipe and the
book containing notes of his orchid ex-
periments. The defendant stated that he
had not taken any pipe and that the book
was his private property. He had offered
the plaintiff a copy. The defendant was
released.

W. A. Leonard, whose Brides and Maids
were planted as late as .September and
who has in consequence had but few good
roses till now, is sending some very choice
blooms to S. S. Pennock.

Fred Ehret went out on Monday to
Doylestown to see John P. Andre. He
reports Mr. Andre's Brides and Maids as
second to none coming into this market,
his place being in very fine shape.

Wm. J. Muth reports that the Cut
Flower Co. has received a large shipment
of green and bronze galax and green and
bronze leucothoe leaves. The company an-
ticipates a good stock of cut flowers for
the Christmas orders.

CHICAGO.

The Market

The week opened with little doing in
tlie line of city trade, but with a first-
cless country damani". The situation
Monday and Tuesday might be summed
up by saying that there was little stock
in the market but sufficient for require-
ments. The Christmas orders from out
pf town were coming iu heavily Monday
and Tuesday and at thi^ writing tbo pros-
pects are for a record-breaking Christmas
I'UEiaess. A week or ten days ago the
city buyers all wanted to leave orders" fcr
Christmas stock, tut pnces deterred
them. As one leading retailer expressed
it. "You couldn't so much as look at a
wholesale man. If you broached the mat-
ter of leaving a Christmas order with him
he waved you away as though he hadn't
any use for business. ' ' But the out of town
buyers have not been deterred by high
prices and now the city people are assur-
ing themselves of a certain proportion of
their needs. Many of them are of the
opinion, however, that Saturday after-
noon will see the market weaker than at
any other time this week and are taking
their chances.

It is true that prospects are for larger
supplies of stock than have heretofore
been anticipated but it is an absolute
certainty that the good material will be
f^r short of the requirements. There are
likely to be enough flowers of inter-
n'pdiat^ grades to supply all orders on
which this character of material can be
used and it would not be at all gnrprig.
ing it some of the large quantities of
low grade material which are sure to be
sent in toward the latter part of the week
fail to find a satisfactory market. While
prices on strictly first-class material will
be as high as ever before in this mar-
ket, the average will be nothing to brag
about because of the quantity of poor
stock. ; ^Ifflfl

Medium length Beauties are likely to
be the greatest shortage, red carnations
next, followed by Liberty roses. Maids
are likely to about fit the demand, with
plenty of Brides and plenty of white
carnations and bulbous stock, although
callas and Harrisii will be hard to find
if the supplies received early in the week
are any indication. Good violets will do
well but Campbell is not wanted.

A Florists' Building.

The wholesale fiorists in Chicago occu-
py much more expensive quarters than are
really required and many of them would
like additional room but can not get it,
«ven by paying a good price without mov-
ing out of the present center, which they
hesitate to do. At one time the Ken-
nicott Bros. Co. thought of going around
on Lake street, where there were some
good stores then offered at bargain prices,
but their landlord returned to reason be-
fore they closed the deal. Had they gone
the whole market might by now have
shifted and it fs likely to do so at any
time if one or two break away, although
it must in justice be said that the pres-
ent location is an ideal one from the
buyers' point of view. Last spring there
was talk of getting someone, possibly
Peter Reinberg, or to organize a stock
company, to put up an ideal building ex-
clusively for florists' use, and get all the
wholesalers into it. But we were not
quite ready for this and the idea died
"abomin*. " But something in the line
of a definite proposition is likely to be
offered soon by parties who have what
they think is a suitable building.

Various Notes.

E. E. Pieser, of Kennicott Bros. Co.,
says that their orders for Christmas are
coming from greater distances than ever
before in the history of the house. They
have many shipments going out to Okla-
homa and the southwest and some as
far into the northwest as Idaho. G. H.

The Market.

The customary holding back of sup-
plies prior to Christmas was very notice-
able the past week. Especially true was
this with carnations, which were in quite
short supply and many more could have
been sold. It is hoped that too much of
the pickling process will not be carried
out, or results will be as usual, disas-
trous in some lines. Present indications
point to an excellent Christmas trade,
with none too much stock to go around
unless too much holding back is done.

Prices on Beauties show a hardening
tendency, $60 per hundred being paid
for first-class stock at the wholesale
houses on December 17. At the Park
street market $40 was obtained for 20
to 24-inch stems. Liberty and Chatenay
are selling remarkably well. Some extra
select Brides and Bridesmaids have
brought $16. Carnations are not much
changed. The best stock sells at $4 to
$4.50, a few bringing $5. Violets have
been quite scarce. Good Princess of
Wales brought $1.50, ordinary stock $1.
Paper Whites and Roman hyacinths are,
as usual, about the only druggy things on
the market. Trumpet Major narcissus has
appeared, grown by Mann Bros., Ran-
dolph. These sold at 75 cents per bunch.
Lilium Harrisii is coming in more plen-
tifully. Very few growers are sending
cut poinsettias. At the new market $50
per hundred has been secured for extra
fine bracts. Mignonette is selling much
better, going as high as $10. Very little
of the Christmas greens are seen in the
market, these being handled mainly by
the large commission houses and special-
ists.

Welch Bros.

One of the busiest places in Boston
of late has been Welch Bros.' emporium
on Province street. The firm does an im-
mense shipping trade in cut

-ChriotmgB gfWUa an3"" sundries and car-
ries a high class of goods. The holly and
mistletoe handled this year is extra w6ll
berried. In greens P. Welch stated that
the demand for box was extra large.
He expressed surprise that people had
not caught on to this fine evergreen
earlier, as nothing is finer for wreaths
and festooning. Trade has been very
satisfactory up to date and will exceed
previous years' records.

Which we introduced last seaaon has g^iven g^reat aatiafaction, and has proved to be :

THE FINEST WHITE CARNATION EVER SENT OUT

Remember that we are headquarters for it. The demand will undoubtedly exceed the
supply this season, and in order to secure early delivery, no time should be lost in placing: order. We are
now booking: orders for early January delivery. Orders will be filled strictly in rotation, as recerved, so the
earlier orders are booked, the earlier deliveries can be made. We can supply

First-class strong rooted cuttings, $7.00 per 100; $60.00 per 1000.

Also all the other novelties of the season, FIANCEE, CARDINAL, FRED BURKI, etc.

Also the cream of the older sorts, Mrs. M. A. Patten, Daiieim, Enchantress, Flamingo,

Mention Tlio Review when you write.

In cut flowers Welch Bros, are noted
for their roses, especially American
Beauties. The finest of these are coming
from Carl Jurgens, Newport, R, I.
Hundreds just received carried thr^e to
four foot stems. Some remarkably fine
Queen of Edgely were also noted. Mr.
Welch says buyers are now eager to
snap up this flower, Mme. Abel Cbate-
nay, Brides, Maids, Golden Gates and
Liberties were also extra good, those
from S. J. Reuter, Westerly, R. I., and
Eobert McGorum, Natick, Mass., being
among the best. F. A. Blake, Rochdale,
M!afis., is shipping very fine Prosperity
carnations, also some good seedling?.
Mr. Welch stated that he had written
his shippers, above all things, not to
try the pickling process on Enchan-
tress, as it goes to sleep as soon
as taken from the ice box. Violets, or-
chids, poinsettias, lilies and all other
choice seasonable flowers are carried in
quantity by this enterprising firm.

Various Notes.

T. J. Grey has returned from a visit
to New York, incidentally calling on
some of the gardening acquaintances on
the Hudson.

Worcester Conservatories are shipping
very fine Beauties to the Park street
market. Budlong, at Providence, is for-
warding gilt-edged stock of Brides and
Maids.

W. E. Doyle is displaying some beau-
tifully berried English hollies and aucu-
bas in pots and tubs at his Beacon and
Boylston street stores.

E. MeMulkin had a very pretty red
window the past week. Red roses and
carnations with ardisias, solanums, aucu-

Mrs. F. J. Lake, wife of • the well
known Wellesley florist, is quite seriously
ill, but was reported a little more com-
fortable this week.

B. F. Washington, of North Stough-
ton, had the misfortune to have his boil-
er burst on the evening of December
16, when we had a temperature 5 degrees
below zero. Use of lamps, oil stoves
and other improvised heaters kept the
temperatiiro up to about .32 degrees but

much stock was frozen. Mr. Washington
has been bringing in some nice stock to
the new market. We trust he will soon
recover from this loss.

John Streiferd & Sons, of Wey-
mouth, are shipping a nice lot of Cypri-
pedium insigne and white violets to the
now market.

The plant committee of the Horticul-
tural Society visited W. B. Arnold at
the Rockland Greenhouses on December
1.3, to view his house of Variegated Law-
son and were surprised and delighted at
the superb lot of plants Mr. Arnold
showed them. The plants were simply
a sheet of bloom and no supports were
necessary, stems long and strong and
not a burst caylx to be seen. This
sport has a delightful fragrance and
seems to be the best striped carnation in
sight. The committee were entertained
at lunch by Mr. Arnold and spent a
very pleasant afternoon.

A recent call at the greenhouses of
Mount Hope cemetery, which is in
charge of James Morton, showed that the
recent additions make the greenhouses
among the finest in this section. While
bedding stock is principally handled,
some other interesting plants were noted.
A batch of finely grown , Dendrobium
nobile will soon be in bloom and prom-
ises a wealth of flowers. A basket of
Lffilia anceps carrying fourteen spikes
denoted very good culture.

Wax Bros, are showing some very fine
Enchantress and Flamingo carnations
grown by G. E. Buxton.

Backer ,& Co. and Geo. E. Buxton
are shipping superb Enchantress carna-
tions to the Park street market.

Peter Fisher is sending some magni-

ficent blooms of his nPW W^'*^<^ cnnHHng

carnation to Galvin.

Houghton & Clark are showing som6
extra well flowered Erica hymalis.

Part 1 of the "Transactions of the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society for
1904" has just been mailed to the mem-
bers. It is a book of over 200 pages and
includes full reports of all lectures and
discussions during the early part of 1904.
In addition there is an exhaustive and
excellent article on peony culture by
R. T. Jackson, also a long and inter-

esting article on John Richardson, his
house and garden, by the same gentle-
man. These articles shoiild be in the
hands of every peony lover. To add to
their interest they are beautifully illus-
trated.

The weather has remained steadily
cold during the present month. About
a foot of snow fell on December 18. A
serious deficiency of water is reported
from many sections of New England,
springs being almost dry and streams
very low.

In point of attendance and interesting
exhibits the Gardeners' and Florists'
Club meeting of December 20 was prob-
ably the best ever held. A full report
must be held over until our next issue.
An account of the field day at Framing-
ham will be found elsewhere in this issue.

In notes in last issue mentioning prizes
to be offered by new market, the word
"included" should read "excluded" in
regard to the red rose class.

SOW BUGS.

I will give you my way to get rid of
sow bugs in greenhouses. My houses were
so badly infested with them that they
destroyed all blooms they could reach. By
holding a light under the bench at night
you could see many of them running in
every direction.. I took twenty-five
pounds of bran and shorts mixed, one
pound of London purple and five pounds
of soft sugar and mixed all thoroughly to-
gether and then sprinkled it along the
edges of benches, under the benches and
near all the posts and I can tell you it
did the work in one night. Now there
is not one to be seen at all. This
amount will be euough fur four buuBes
100 feet long all winter, as it takes very
little of it to do the work.

Crocus were in good demand in Hol-

spoken highly of by those who have seen
it growing at their trial grounds.

Already Wardwell's kidney wax
beans bring $10 per bushel, Longfellow's
are taken at $8, Stringless Green Pod
and Valentine easily bring $6. These
are startling prices so early in the
season.

It looks as though the trade must
switch back to old-fashioned varieties of
beans this season. Mohawks, Six Weeks.
Best of All, Currie's Wax, Violet and
Scarlet Flageolet are not yet among the
scarce varieties.

The loss occasioned by fire at Oceana.
Cal., which destroyed the warehouse of
the Routzahn Seed Co., will hit some of
the seed houses hard as the bean stocks
burned up are among the most impor-
tant kinds. The government will also
be loser of some rare varieties of pole
beans, as it is understood that it had
a contract for these' with the Routzahn
Co.

SEA WEED AS MANURE.

In the ("hannel Islands seaweed is regu-
larly gathered in large quantities and
spread over the potato fields, and the
farmers there find it a most valuable
manure. It is either scattered on the
ground fresh from the sea or burnt in
kilns, and the ash used instead of the
raw material. At the seaside in this
country seaweed is often brought up
from the beach in carts and spread over
the land, with very good result as re-
gards the corn, but no effort has hith-
erto been made to burn it in a kiln.
Surely this could be done without much
difficulty and with great advantage to
the public, for in this form iodine ma-
nure could be put upon the market for
the use of gardeners. Of course, the
object of burning the seaweed is to get
rid of the smell, and to enable it to be
kept in a portable form so it could be
put up in barrels for wholesale use and
in tins for selling in small quantities.
There are many places along the coast
where the industry could be started — any-
where, in fact, where seaweed is plentiful
and the expense of tinning would not be
great. We should thus gain an excel-
lent fertilizer, which is, moreover, said
to br particularly good for roses. — Gar-
deners ' Chronicle.

TABLE DECORATIONS.

No hard and fast rules can be laid
down for table decorations, so much de-
pends upon the size of table, and what
it contains; sometimes it may be so
crowded that little room is left for other
decoration. It sometimes happens that
ornaments, lamps, etc., are so arranged
that it is difficult to make a satisfactory
decoration. Whatever may be used, let
it be in as light and graceful manner as
_gos8ible^ Tracings are better, as a rule,
in curve8~ari^ sCrOllB, aTfBouglr~gtfaigh't
lines are sometimes admissible by way
of a change. It is difficult to say how
a table should be decorated; in any case,
very much depends upon the taste of the
decorator. It is surprising what differ-
ent designs and ideas present themselves
to one who has had a little experience of
this kind of work.

A table may frequently be made to
look very nice in a very short time, and

with little material. It is scarcely neces-
sary to say that leaves and fruits can-
not be so lightly arranged, or made to
look as graceful, as more choice flowers
and foliage. Short sprays of common
bramble, used in the green state, are very
suitable for tracings, especially on a
large table. Small sprays of the com-
mon box also look well. Ivy is a general
favorite, and may be used for this pur-
pose. It is best procured from old trees,
where it can be generally found with
small, wavy sprays and small leaves.
It can also be used when in fruit. The
branchlets of that graceful conifer, Re-
tinosporg"fittfefay-I-l»v»- Bometimea iifled__
for tracing, and it looks very well. In
using this green material for decorating,
flowers of some kind, such as chrysanthe-
mums, should be set up in vases of suit-
able sizes. — Gardeners ' Magazine.

PITTSBURG.

The Market

While trade is about the same as last
year, the making ready for the holidays
gives the retailers about all they can
do. There is nothing much new among
the stores; the same old wreaths made
in the same old way, holly, mistletoe and
wreathing. Green goods have been , sell-
ing better than usual up to this time,
probably because everything has been
white with snow the last two weeks.

At the Stores.

The stores are looking very pretty,
with their variety of palms, ferns, Pros-
erpine tulips in pans, and poinsettias,
which are used in boxes and pans,

Breitenstein & Flemm are using some
very pretty Boman garlands, made of red
immortelles and bo;x-wood, which are very
effective.

L. I. Neff has one red window, immor-
telle bells, pans of Proserpine tulips and
poinsettias, which holds the crowd.

A. W. Smith has a great show of bas-
kets of artificial fruit, immortelle and
arilibciar wreaths and baskets, which are
quite out of the ordinary.

Mre. E. A. Williams' store is a bower
'i|4*eiuty.* While there is nothing really
newyjjttiii '.her arrangement of plants,
bells, gredrls, etc., makes it so attractive
one.;alltiost feels they are something new.
The window is most artistically arranged
with baskets and hampers of Begonia
Qloire de Lorraine, tied with pink rib-
bons." She certainly keeps the crowd on
her sidewalk.

^' Various Notes.

UiQlxd^ Swarthout, of Washington, Pa.,
has qi^posed of his stock and leased
his hfltises and store to Jos. Seaman &
CoJy who will continue the business. Mr.
Swarthout has built up a large business
and leaves it to enter another line. The
trade wish him success wherever he may
go.

Patrick Maier, who is the bulb grower
of this section, will have Proserpine tu-
lips in pans, which are in fine shape for
Christmas. ,

B. L. Elliott is thinking of disposing
of his greenhouses and entering actively
into another business in which he iq in-
terested.

The boys in the retail stores are all
writing with Pittsburg Cut Flower Com-
pany's pencils; if you didn't get jours,
you should call them up. This was writ-
ten with one". '

Great carloads of Christmas trees are
'being hfffffllea By the cdmnussion inen^ in
the produce yards as well as holly, both
in case and wreaths.

A. W. Smith has a grand lot of Har-
risii and poinsettias just in shape for the
holidays.

Carnations, which were out of sight in
price Saturday and Monday, took an aw-
ful tumble before the middle of last
week. Hoo-Hoo.

The Maine Agricultural Experiment
Station, Orono, Me., has just published
a valuable bulletin on the brown- tail and
other moths, with methods of control.

The principal nurseries have pretty
good quantities of stock in their storage
houses but much of it is smaller than
they would like, because of a season of
only moderate growth following a very
poor season indeed.

M. Crawford, Cuyahoga Falls, O., has

he will send free to any interested par-

The executive committee of the Ameri-

The horticultural press in England is
greatly exercised by the fact that great
quantities of American apples are ar-
riving at Liverpool and finding a mar-
ket, although England had herself a very
heavy crop in 1904 and much of the fruit
fails to find a profitable market.

J. W. KtTNCAN, sectetary of the Amer-
ican Association of Park .Superinten-
dents, formerly the Associatini of New

tention to the fact that the periodical bul-
letins of his organization are entirely

WHO'S YOUR COAL MAN,

If you are buying your coal by the
carload from some jobber or mine outside
your own town we should like to have you
send tlie Beview the name and address,
or when you write the coal man tell him
that he ought to get acquainted with the
Eeview as a means of increasing his
business among florists. We can often
help both our reader and the dealer; for
instance, we have a letter from a florist
near Philadelphia who is burning small
stove coal, anthracite, and paying $6.75
per ton to his local coal dealer; natural-
ly he is in the market for a car. We
should be glad to give his name to a
dealer whom we know to be supplying
this grade of coal satisfactorily to others'
in the trade.

The Market

The busiest days of the year are before
the florists this week and already big
orders have been placed for Christmas
for cut flowers, blooming plants and
greens of all kinds. The florists through-
out the city have handsomely decorated
windows and we hear nothing but good
reports as to the business in general.
The wretched weather of the past week
interfered considerably with transient
trade. There seems to be enough demand
to use up the best stock at good prices,
so the cut flower trade of the past week
was generally satisfactory, with plenty
of funeral work, and no oversupply of
anything except second grade roses.

The supply of Beauties for this market
is limited and all fancy stock sold at
good figures. Brides and Maids are com-
ing in quite abundantly. Meteor, Lib-
erty, Golden Gate and Carnot are not so
many and sell well. Of carnations there
is a fair crop for present demands, with
good prospects for a big supply for
Christmas. Fancy stock will be high this
week. Extra fancy will go as high as
$8 to $10 per hundred, to be graded down
to $4 for common. California violets
thoy say are going to be scarce and way
up in price, as high as $3. In bulbous
stock there will be plenty of everything,
such as Romans, Paper Whites and lily
of the valley. Callas and Harrisii wiil
be scarce. Prices on this stock will not
advance any.

Fine stevia is in the market and is
selling well. Green stock is also plenti-
ful. Sales of holiday g'-eens are more
than satisfactory. Mistletoe is coming in
fine this year. The deronnd for holly is
ahead of all previous years. Wreathing
is also in big demand for store front
decorations, which are more numerous
than usual this year. Blooming plants
for Christmis are in fine condition. The
most^ salable are cyclamens, azaleas,
"HHiall or'AHge trees an-i Dol:!settia's^ THe
latter give just the right color for tho
prevailing holiday fancy and meet with
ready sale.

Various Notes.

Last week, Wednesday, Edward Bue-
chel, manager of the Riessen Floral Co.,
met with a painful accident, breaking his
leg by slipping on the icy sidewalk. This
leaves the company in a bad way for the

The committee appointed to examine
Mr. Kessler's plans for the restoration
of Forest park, of which Wm. Trelease is
secretary, met Friday and approved the
plans. The mayor and the exposition
officials were so informed. Mr. Kessler's
successful treatment of the landscape fea-
tures of the exposition warranted this ac-
tion and bia ability to properly' carry mxir

adopted by the committee. Work will
begin early in the spring.

trade the past week, including large de-
signs in funeral work.

Mrs. M. M. Ayers' place is very at-
tractive for the holiday trade. A large
number of extra fine blooming plants are
seen.

The Market

Cloudy weather the past week has
somewhat injured the prospects for a
large holiday cut of roses or carnations.
Cut blooms were very scarce on the
market the past week and as Christmas
draws near are getting scarcer, prices are
going up and the demand is for first-class
stock. Betail stores are rushed with busi-
ness and everyone is looking forward to
what promises to be the largest business
done in the history of the city. Christ-
mas greens are on the market in abund-
ance. There is enough lycopodium, but
good prices are received. Holly averages
unsatisfactorily, only a very small quan-
tity coming in that can be called first-
class. Cyclamens, azaleas, poinsettias, Be-
gonia Gloire de Lorraine and primroses
are looking fine and prices are a little in
advance of last year.

Various Notes.

Atrip through the retail district shows
some fine window decorations, among the
best being those of Samuel Murray, W. L.
Rock, Miss M. Dalley and Miss J. E. Mur-
ray.

Miss Murray had some fine wedding
decorations last week and will have a
large one this week at the Central Pres-
byterian church. Miss Murray also re-
ports an unusually large demand for
Christmas decorations.

W. L. Eock has had numerous decora-
tions for receptions and weddings this
week and reports fine indications for
business during the holidays.

Mr. Freudenthal, of the Union Depot
Floral Co., has leased new quarters at
Twelfth and Walnut streets to which he
will remove January 1. ,

The largest decoration in the past year
was the one last Saturday evening in the
First Christian church. The occasion was
the wedding of Ensign Hayne Ellis, of
the Battleship Kentucky, to Miss Sallie
Long of this city. The work was done
by the W. H. Humfeld Floral Co. The
color scheme was in yellow and white, the
ship colors. Southern smilax, palms and
rosf s were used. Jas. Biggam had charge
of the work.

Arthur Newell is doing art immense
business these days and is thoroughly
satisfied.

Miss Dalley has some of the finest
Brides and Kaiserins in the city. She
buys the entire output of Al. Broman, of
Independence, and is doing a fine trade
in evergreens.

A new establishment has been opened
in the Masonic building, to be known as
the Star Floral Co., with Miss F. M.
Shaeffer as manager. The new company
has only temporary quartrrs at present,
but expects to have permanent quarters
by the first of the year.

The AlRha Floral Co. has an extra
force employed making wreaths and rop-
ing and reports trade as fine.

December 22, 1904.

PACIFIC COAST.

AID FOR HORTICULTURE.

Judge W. W. Morrow, one of the
trustees of the Carnegie Institute at
Washington, has been successful in hav-
ing a considerable allotment of money
made by that institution to Luther Bur-
bank, often spoken of as the California
"wizard of horticulture," so that he
may be enabled to carry on for a period
of years his valuable experiments which
have made both him and his neighbor-
hood world famous. Mr. Burbank has
at the present time several dozen entirely
new creations in the field of floriculture,
as well as several hybrid grasses that he
will soon give to the public.

Mr. Burbank was for many years in
the general nursery business at Santa
Rosa and began his experiments in the
breeding of plants as early as 1875. Al-
though very successful in a commercial
way, after some years Mr. Burbank gave
up the business of growing and selling
recognized varieties and devoted himself
exclusively to the originating of new
varieties of fruits, flowers, vegetables and
grasses and his success has brought him
world wide fame as the greatest of the
present experimental horticulturists.

Mr. Burbank 's main nursery is at Se-
bastopol, Cal., and consists of about ten
acres. He has a branch place in Lyon's
Valley, Lake county, where he has many
thousands of bulbs and lilies, both native
and acclimated, and from which he has
crossed several widely differing varieties,
with considerable success. One of the
recent additions to the field of valuable
plants is the thornless cactus. This plant,
it is claimed, will eliminate many of
the terrors of the Colorado and Mojave
deserts, where it will grow luxuriantly
It can be used for food, both by man and
beast.

Mr. Burbank is probably beet known
by his connection with ten varieties of
Japanese plums, which he brought out in

1888, and which are now catalogued
throughout the world. In 1893 appeared
the giant prune, hybrid walnut and a
new quince. These were followed by many

other fruits, roses, cannas, hybridized
native flowers, the Shasta daisy and Mr.
Burbank says he has many more to come
wjiich will be given to the public, some
of them in the very near future. G.

SAN FRANOSCO.

The Market

It is now within a few days of Christ-
mas and I have never seen such an abun-
dance of flowers at this time of the year,
nor have we ever had such a continued
spell of warm, bright weather. We have
only had about half a dozen nights cold
enough to show frost, and heliotropes,
fuchsias and other soft stuff are still in
-full-bloom out ia the open ground. As
a consequence flowers of all kinds are
very plentiful and can be had at almost
any price. The demand is only fair for
the general varieties, although there has
been considerable call for white roses and
carnations, owing to several spurts in
the line of funeral work. Mums are plen-
tiful, both those grown indoors and out
and from present indications there will
be plenty until after the holidays. All

the growers are wishing for a few cold
nights to shorten the supply of outdoor

warm weather.

Various Notes.

The mistake of E. C. Thurber, a deal-
er in greenhouse glass, cost him $299.45,
according to a judgment rendered this
week by Judge Hall. Through a mis-
take in calculation Thurber contracted to
sell glass to P. McDonell, the well known
carnation grower, of Alden, at $1.45 per
box. According to the market price he
should have charged $2.87 a .box. He re-
fused to keep to the contract and Mc-
Lonell then purchased 300 boxes of glass
from another firm at $3 a box. Thurber
brought suit against McDonell to reform
the contract, but judgment was rendered
against him. On the cross complaint
McDonell was given judgment for
the difference between the price he paid
for the glass and the price at which Thur-
ber agreed to furnish it.

A visit to the greenhouses of H. Potet,
on Courtland avenue and San Bruno road,
shows that the cut of roses for Christmas
will be an extra large one. The stock is in
good shape throughout and everything
shows the results from up-to-date forcing.

James Nivens, late of the Thermal
Vale Nursery, has opened a plant depot
on San Pablo avenue, Oakland,

H. M. Sanborn, of Oakland, has built
a large addition to his Fourteenth street
store to accommodate his increased busi-
ness.

The California State Floral Society
held a very enthusiastic meeting at Cen-
tral hall, December 9. Professor Emory
E. Smith was in charge. Balph E. Smith
of the Horticultural Experiment Station
at Berkeley, gave an instructive address
on "Diseases Affecting Flowering
Plants. ' '

P. C. Meyer, of Burlingame, is con-
templating an addition of several more

houses to his plant during the coming
season. G.

HORTICULTURAL SOC3ETY.

The Pacific Coast Horticultural Society
of San Francisco held its complimentary
chrysanthemum exhibition recently at
Afission Opera Hall. Menlo Park and
Burlingame growers easily carried off the
honors of the show and incidentally the
principal premiums offered. Mr. Meyer,
of Menlo, received first prize for best
twenty-four blooms, but was so closely
pressed by Wm. Kettlewell, of San Ma-
teo, that a special prize was recom-
mended by the judges for the latter.
Wm. Eldred, of Burlingame, took the
premium for best outdoor grown bloom
with an immense Timothy Eaton. A
splendid vase of Wm. Duckham, shown
by Mr. Meyer, attracted much attention.
L. Fenton showed a vase of very promis-
ing seedling carnations, for which he re-
ceived the society's certificate of merit.

A pleasing incident was the presenta-
tion by the society of a handsome wato'^
charm to the retiring president, H.
Plath, who has served ti»e society in f
chair in such a satisfactory manner that
his retirement is regretted by all. The
charm is of gold and on the inverse side
a golden poppy (eschscholtzia) is enam-
eled. The presentation address was de-
livered in an able manner by Vice-Presi-
dent Wm. Eldred, and the response was
appropriate and in the best vein of the
pleased recipient. During the evening
the entertainment committee served re-
freshments with a liberal hand, while
in an adjoining hall the Bociety's or^
chestra discoursed dance music for the
members and their many friends.

On the evening of November 19 Prof.
Schneider, the eminent scientific bota-
nist of the State University, at Berkeley,
delivered a lecture before this society on
hybridization. The subject was treated
from a scientific standpoint and the lec-
turer was given the closest attention.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

Deckmber 22, 1904.

MILTON, WIS.

This is the center of the celebrated
Wisconsin tobacco district, whence comes
a large part of the country's supply of
smoke and an even larger part of the
tobacco stems used for fumigating green-
houses. F. G. Burden is one of the larg-
est dealers in leaf tobacco and in strip-
ping it he accumulates an immense quan-
tity of stems. He has heretofore found
an outlet for these by selling in bulk in
carload lots to the big growers near Chi-
cago, but he has recently so increased his
output that he has to bale the stems for
shipment in smaller quantities and to
greater distances. He proposes, also, to
shortly put in some grinding machines
and go into the manufacture of tobacco
dust in a large way.

OTTAWA, ILL.

W. N. Brothers is in charge of the es-
tate of the late Fred J. King, whose
death, December 6, was wholly unex-
pected. Mr. King had suffered with
lung trouble for several years and had
several times been confined to his house,
having been worse than usual this fall,
but the fatal termination was not thought
so near. He had a nice business and was
making steady progress in it until ill
health caused a slackening of his efforts.
He was a member of the S. A. F., was
widely known and universally well liked.
Mrs. King survives.

RED SPORT

This new "Bread and Butter" commercial brilliant "Crane" Red Oamation, now in its fourth
year, has the hardy constitution of (General Macee, with a stronger heavier growth, longer and stiSer
stem and a larger flower. Growing under the same conditions and in the same bouse with Flamingo
and Estelle it has produced four times as many blooms as the former and twice as many blooms as
the latter. The color is as good as Estelle and the bloom brings as much as does Estelle at its best.
Every flower is of a uniform brilliant red, perfectly double with an ideal calyx, in fact we never saw
a split one.

Bod Bport is perfectly healthy, an easy variety to grow, an early and continuous bloomer,
throwing its heaviest cuts around the Christmas holidays and during the Winter months when red is
in demand. Bed Spore will keep longer and travel fartber than any other red carnation, and will
prove a bonanza to the grower who does a shipping business. If the scarcity of reds in the market
that now exists continues Bed Sport will pay better to the square foot of bencb than any other
variety of any color to date. Every florist who has seen Bed Sport growing has placed an order
for rooted cuttings, which tells the tale. All our stock is sold up to January 2Hh. Orders filled in
strfct rotation from that date on. Price. 12 for 11.50. 25 for $2.50. 50 for S4.C0 all post paid. $6.00 per 100,
150.00 per 1000, by express. We guarantee all cuttings to be well rooted and to arrive in good condition.

The Market

Trade still remains rather quiet and
stock conditions are about the same as
last week. There is a good deal of snow
on the ground and the weather is pretty
cold. With Christmas rapidly approach-
ing, we are still very much in the dark
as to how the supply of stock will be,
but from the best information at hand
there will be no surplus in any line, and
many varieties will be far short of the
demand, notably red roses and carna-
tions. Some very fine poinsettias are to
b«' had this year and they are selling well.
They are the main flower in many win-
dow displays at present.

Various Notes.

A recent visit to Chas. Pommert's fish
farm and greenhouses proved to be very
interesting. He makes a specialty of
growing smilax and asparagus for the
wholesale trade and makes a very profit-
able business of it. But his mainstay is
the breeding of gold fish. He raises the
fish by the tens of thousands and finds a
ready market for them. In the winter
they are kept in tanks in the greenhouses.
In a special tank Mr. Pommert showed
eomo fine specimens of the Japanese fan-
tail gold fish, which were very pretty, and
very expensive as well. Mr. Pommert's
plant is at Amelia, O., which is about
twenty-five miles from Cincinnati,

In the decorations for L. B. Beakirt's
fancy dress ball, Julius Baer had one of
the most elaborate decorations ever put
up in this city, as well as one of the
most expensive. Long-stemmed Beauties,
Liberty and Chatenay roses and white
mums, with wild smilax, formed the prin-
cipal material for the display. The daily
papers spoke very highly of the effect
produced.

Visitors: E. J. Fancourt, of Phila-
delphia, and Miss White, of Lexington,
Ky. C. J, Ohmer.

We would not do without the Re-
view at twice the present subscription
price. — G. H. Taepke, Detroit.

places where these fine decorative plants
are merely struggling for existence.
Broadly speaking, lapagerias are not at
all diflBcult to grow, providing they have
a suitable position and are well attended
to. Few plants pay better for good
treatment than the lapagerias, but they
soon resent bad management. Some years
ago I had charge of some plants that
were in feeble health. They were grow-
ing in a back border of the greenhouse,
on the ground level, near to an outside
drain, consequently the little growth they
made was very thin. So I had them
lifted, and replanted in stone tanks, in
a compost consisting of peat, a little
turfy loam, charcoal, plenty of coarse
sand, and bricks broken up to keep the
soil open, giving them abundance of
drainage, and covering it with blocks of
peat to keep the soil from filtering down
between the pieces of brick.

One of the principal causes of failing
to grow lapagerias well is injudicious
watering. If allowed to become dry at
the roots a few times, the foliage will
quickly be attacked with red spider and
thrips. Care, therefore, should always
be taken to keep them well supplied with
water, especially during the growing sea-
son, which usually extends from the end
of March until September. During this
period they should be treated more as
semi-aquatics, and in winter kept fairly
moist. Syringing also is very beneficial
to lapagerias when growing, as it tends
to prevent insects attacking them. They
require shading during the hottest part
of the day, as the tender growths would
soon be scorched at the points. L. alba
is, I think, far more attractive than the
various red and rose-colored forms, and is
more expensive, because of the greater
demand for plants. Its flowers can be
utilized in making up bridal bouquets,
wreaths, etc Conseqently, they are in

ffood demand, and realize remunerative

prices.

Lapagerias should be grown quite cool,
with plenty of ventilation at all times,
especially during the summer months,
leaving plenty of air on at nights. I
have known the thermometer to go down
to freezing point in winter without the
least injurious effect on the plants. Slugs
are very fond of the young growths, and
will destroy them as they appear above
the soil if not protected. An ordinary
lamp glass is a capital thing to put over
them, vdth a piece of cotton wadding at
the top, until the growth is well advanced,
when it can be taken off.

They are best trained to horizontal
wires, keeping the young growths, if pos-
sible, from twining round their neigh-
bors, as they are very diflScult to un-
loose without more or less injury.

The three best lapagerias to grow are:
L. alba, pure white, aad useful for cut-
ting; L. rosea, rose-color, makes a pleas-
ing effect when planted with the former ;
L. profusa, an exceedingly floriferous
variety, producing clusters of crimson
flowers. They can be propagated from
seeds, cuttings and layers, the latter be-
ing the best mode of propagation. —

MILWAUKEE.

Judging from advance orders it
appears as if Christmas business
will be a record breaker. The trade in
general has made extensive preparations
for a large business. In looking througli
the retail stores, most of them are stocked
with a very fine line of plants in season-
able varieties. In other decorative mate-
rial bells seem to predominate. Lam-
bros is displaying a very fine line of aza-
leas, cyclamens and poinsettias which can-
not help but please purchasers. Currie
Bros., M. A. McKenney Co. and J. M.
Fox are displaying excellent lines of
plants. There is also an exceptionally
large demand for green goods. Holly is
selling better than in former years. This
is principally due to the absence of
southern holly. The mistletoe in the mar-
ket is also of exceptionally fine quality.

Most of the growers expect to have
pretty fair crops of Christmas flowers. In
carnations there will be about enough to
go around, with the exception of red, on
which there is always a heavy demand
for this holiday; outside prices may rule
for that color. There will probably be a
good supply of Eomans, stevia, violets,
lily of the valley and Paper Whites to
help fill out. Incog.

TORONTO.

Christmas business promises well. The
orders already placed with wholesalers
would indicate that the retail men expect
to do their usual volume of business and
even a little more, as it is a fact that
Christmas supplies never sold better in
Canada. Weather promises to be ideal
Christmas weather and this will help mat-
ters considerably.

A new addition to our staff of retail
florists is W. P. Lambert, late of O. J.
Friedman, Chicago, who is in charge of
the College Flower Shop, 445 Yonge
street, and from the start he has made
he promises to set a lively pace for all
local competitors. D. J.

THE COAL MARKET.

There is a shortage in Chicago of
standard grades of smokeless coals.
Prices, as a consequence, repiain very
firm. The market is very short of mine-
run. The price of Pocahontas remains
at $2.25 f. 0. b. the mine for lump and
egg, and this is the generally prevailing
price. Most of the shipping companies
continue short of supplies. The price
in Chicago for this class of coal is still
about $4.25 to $4.30 f. o. b. the cars.

On account of the heavy shortage in
: smokeless run-of-mine coal, urgent pur-
chasers are still Trilling to pay a pre-
mium in order to get their supplies de-
livered without a long wait. This pre-
mium runs from 5 to 10 cents over cir-
cular prices. The majority of sales in
Pocahontas and New River coals remain
on this premium basis, at least so far as
the market in Chicago is concerned. Tug
River is firm, with the prevailing price
$3 to $3.10 f. 0. b. Chicago for standard
grades. The price for screened Tug River
run-of-mine continues at $3.25 f. o. b.
Chicago. The West Virginia product is
finding an. excellent sale, even though it
is being diverted to a large extent from
its customary western markets.

Splint coal is active, with many orders
coming in that can not be filled immedi-
ately. The supply, however, is improved
over what it was a week or ten days ago.
This is due to an improvement in the
transportation facilities of the railroads.

'with the same treatment given to Bride and Maid.

ops as well off as on the bush.

4th. Has very near the same tone of color as Liberty, with
more scarlet and does not blue with age.

6th. This variety it nearly a pure tea, being seeded from
LA.DY BATTERSEA,fertilued by LIBERTY, and as
a result has shown no tendency toward going dormant in
mid-winter, at wluch time the variety is at its very t>est.

6th. Produces freely throughout the year, long pointed buds
on tall straight stems with elegant dark foliage.

7th Is as easy to root, and grafts as readily as Bride or Maid.
8th. Has as delicious a fragrance as American Beauty.

THE HISTORY AND CULTURE OF

GRAFTED ROSES m FORCING

JR.

BY ALEXANDER MONTGOMERY.
WABAN ROSE CONSERVATORIES. NATICK, MASS.

COPYRIOHT, 1904, BY FLORISTS' PUBLISHINQ CO.

The Author's Purpose.

The subject of grafted roses as ap-
plied to the American system of forcing,
while now quite well understood in all
its various aspects by most of the large
and many smaller rose growers of the
country, still remains with some an open
question. It is not my intention to use
this opportunity accorded me to put
forth an argument in favor of having
all rose growers use grafted stock, but
to state, so far as is known, some of
the facts in connection with the first at-
tempts to improve the conditions under
which forcing roses are grown, and to
give a comprehensive description of ev-
erything connected with the successful
handling of grafted roses.

If n^y readers will bear with me to
the end of my story I think they will
agree with me that this question of
grafted versus own-root roses is one
which no one man can decide for all,
but which each individual must work out
for himself, according to the character
of his soil, the varieties he is growing,
and the system of production which is
.best adapted to his requirements. While
the subject has been pretty thoroughly
covered from time to time by various
competent writers, it is thought that
it may prove of interest, at least to the
novice in the art of grafting, to cover
the whole story from the time some of
the first stocks were introduced down
to the present day.

The only way a grower can decide
whether grafted roses can be grown by
him is by having a thorough under-
standing of the subject. Therefore the
treatment of the stocks, the operation of
grafting, the handling of the grafting
<:ase, and the subsequent treatment of
the plants, will all be given with con-
siderable detail. This, perhaps, while
seeming entirely unnecessary to those
who are already experts, will it is hoped
prove of interest to some who "mpy not
yet have had any experience in this
line. I trust that I shall make myself
80 clear that the veriest novice in the
art will obtain a clear idea of the prac-
tice, and perhaps even some who are
not strangers to the operation, but who
have not been as successful as they
could wish, will be helped in their work.
It is not the intention to tell merely
the proper but also the improper meth-
ods, and this latter knowledge is, after
all, that which often does us the most
good.

Early Trials.
In 1883 Mr. Montgomery sent to
a large firm of nurserymen in Eng-
land an order for 1,000 of the
new rose, Catherine Mermet, all to be
budded on the seedling brier. This de-
mand, however, proved to be a stagger-
er for even a big firm, and after having
scoured the country they were able to

deliver only 500 plants. While no
definite facts are available in regard
to the experiments with budded roses,
it is believed that this was the first
large importation of tea roses for forc-
ing, not on their own roots.

As the importer of these plants had
had an extensive experience in Britain
with roses budded on the brier, he hoped
that by adapting this stock to the
American system of forcing he could
perhaps obtain the same satisfactory
results that had followed its use on the
other side, but in this he was destined
to be disappointed.

The Brier Stock.

These plants did very well up to the
first of November, better in fact than

by that time the growth on the whole
was much inferior to the own-root
plants which had been flowering all
winter. Numerous experiments have
been made since on different varieties
but with practically the same results.

From a forcing standpoint, then, this
stock had proved a failure, but never-
theless it must be admitted that for size,
form and absolute perfection of finish
of the individual bloom, the brier under
certain conditions is the stock to use.
As showing the high esteem in which it
is held in Britain I quote the following
from "A Book About Eoses," by Dean
Hole:

I know that the Manettl will grow luxuriantly
where the brier will not grow at all; that in a
toward season it will prodnce some varieties
of the rose in their moat perfect form, those
especially which have the smoother wood, • • •
but I am nevertheless convinced that by far the
fireater number of the most perfect roses may
be. are, and will be (frown and shown from our
Indigenous. British brier, taken from hedgerows,
struck from cuttings, or raised from seed.

From this, then, coupled with our own

experience it is easily seen that because

a stock may be good for one purpose it

is not necessarily good for all.

Success With Manetti.

After this experience with budded
briers, Catherine Marmet grafted on the
Manetti was obtained from a prominent
Scotch firm. Grafted plants were called
for on account of the difficulty that had

own root up to that time, but from
November to April they were as sound
asleep as it is possible for a rose to be.
No amount of coaxing known in the art
of forcing could get those stocks to give
the slightest sign that they ever had
any intention of growing during the
short days of the winter months. From
April on into the summer, however,
they produced some good blooms, but

been experienced in getting budded
stock. The newly budded teas were of-
ten winter-killed in the ground and con-
sequently, in order to produce plants in
quantity, the nurseryman had to resort
to winter grafting.

Results from this experiment were so
satisfactory that during the next few
years all varieties were imported in in-
creasing numbers until, in 1886, the ex-

pense of these large grafted plants be-
gan to be quite an item, and so it was
decided to import stocks and to try all
the methods of grafting which it was
thought might be adapted to the new
system.

The American Process of Grafting.

The old idea used to be to coat the
union of the graft and scion with a
smearing of grafting wax and to run
the plants at a somewhat lower temper-
ature than is now considered proper.
This, however, was a very tedious pro-
cess and in the mind of the American
grower it was altogether too slow, con-
sidering the fact that he had to produce
during the three winter months all of
the plants which he intended to set out
for the coming season. Then, by ex-
perimenting, it was found that by rais-
ing the temperature and increasing the
moisture the waxing process could be
omitted entirely and a more satisfac-
tory union could be produced in Jess
time and with less labor.

After these encouraging results with
Catherine Mermet and other varieties
all the leading roses of that period were
tried on the Manetti. Niphetos, Bon
Silene, William Francis Bennett, Lady
Mary Fitzwilliam and many others of
lesser note, showed a marked improve-
ment over own-root plants.

The Famous Gjrnelia Cook.
One of the most interesting sights
for visitors to our place during the
latter part of the '80s were the great
banks of that grand old favorite, Cor-
nelia Cook. The term "banks" is
used advisedly, for banks they really
were, the style of growing being en-
tirely different from anything now in
vogue. The plants, which were all in
solid beds, were at that time forced as
long as seven or eight years. "Where
the beds wer6 wide enough, about seven
feet, the plants were placed in rows
three feet apart across the bed. An
iron trellis in the shape of an inverted
"V" was built in between each two
rows and the plants tied down to this,
leaving one row facing east and the
other west. As the plants were grown
80 long in the same bed they made fine
canes and these, when thoroughly
ripened off during the summer, produced
magnificent blooms the following sea-
son. I remember one house in particu-
lar 300 feet long, with a single row of
plants lengthwise of the back bed and
tied back to a trellis, leaving the whole
bank facing the south. This indeed,
when in the midst of a full crop, was
a truly wonderful sight.

Now, one of the causes which un-
doubtedly contributed to these results
and which, by the way, was not made
known for some time, was the fact that
all these fine plants were grafted on
the Manetti stock. Finally, however,
when Charles Anderson, of the John
Henderson Company, a great admirer of
thig method of forcing, was let into the
secret, he immediately set about graft-
ing his own Cooks and was so elated
with his success that he was unable to
hold on to his secret.

Stock for Marechal NieL

It was in a somewhat similar way to
this that that finest of all yellow roses,
Marechal Niel, was treated. This vari-
ety had failed to thrive on the Manetti
and, while it gave very satisfactory
results on the Banksia, still it seemed

in time to outgrow this, being in fact
a more rapid grower than the stock it-
self. Mr. Montgomery having read of
Dean Hole's very high opinion of Glorie
de Dijon as a stock for Marechal Niel,
decided to give it a trial under glass at
Waban Conservatories. A house 35x100
feet, twenty feet to the ridge, containing
sixty plants on this stock, was laid out
with one large bed and the plants
trained on upright trellises across the

house. These plants in time made
canes enough to completely fill the
house, and bore in one crop from 25,000
to 30,000 blooms, the product being
shipped as far as Washington on the
south, Montreal on the north and Chi-
cago on the west. No better stock than
Glorie de Dijon has ever been found
for Marechal Niel, either for out-of-
doors or for indoor forcing.
(To be continued.)

NEWER VARIETIES.

A retrospective view of conditions pre-
vailing during the past year in the rose
f rowing world reveals many interesting
acts, which, if carefully considered, may
be of paramount use to us during the
coming and future years.

That we are yet far from perfection
is evidenced by the fact that our hybrid-
ists and growers are still seeking after
something better in the way of varieties
and methods of culture. The industry,
energy, skill and intelligence which the
hybridists have brought to bear on the
subject during the past and preceding
years entitle them to the thanks of the
growers particularly and of the public
generally. Many of their productions are
as. yet only on trial and to the credit of
the craft there is not that inclination to
rush a new variety on to the market with-
out testing its qualities that existed a
few years ago and growers will have more
confidence in investing in these, knowing
that they have already passed through
the ordeal.

In Hill 's Richmond we have a red rose
which has all the ear-marks of a winner,
it is robust and of good habit, easily
grown, a profuse bloomer, the form and
keeping qualities of the bloom of a high
grade and the color just right. That Mr.
Hill, after all these years of trial, sees
fit to put it on the market is evidence
enough that it is a good thing and cer-
tain to find a place among the best. That
there is still a good demand for reds is
evidenced by the fact that ninety per cent
of our growers are still trying to grow
Liberty.

Among the pinks, La Detroit seems to
be gaining in favor, being a free grower,
of excellent constitution, very productive
and a good seller. There not being as
yet enough of it grown to entitle it to a
separate quotation in the market, it is
hard to prophesy if it will supersede the
old Bridesmaid. It has evidently come
to stay.

Chatenay is proving itself an all-
around favorite, producing some wonder-
ful canes and blooms of a high order. It

is easily grown and free from nearly all
the diseases that aflliet other roses and,
if properly handled, is almost immune
from the ravages of mildew. It is so
easy a "doer" that the grower who can-
not handle this rose with success had bet-
ter quit growing.

Rosalind Orr English is another of Mr.
Hill's introductions and deserves a place.
Its color would be hard to define, being a,
shade of pink something after the order
of Lawson carnation but brighter and
probably will satisfy those who admire
this shade in a rose. In form it is all
that can be desired, has excellent keeping
qualities and in habit resembles Chate-
nay, of which it is a seedling.

The new light-pink rose, Wellesley, a
seedling raised at the Waban Conserva-
tories at Natick, Mass., is sustaining a
good character and will no doubt fill a
long felt want in that shade of color.

Killamey is another rose that seems to
be coming to the front and, because of
its many good qualities, will also find a
place in public favor.

Along with these new varieties of na-
tive birth we are promised some E'uro-
pean novelties which bear high reputa-
tions but whether they are able to bear
the vicissitudes of climatic changes and
our exhaustive methods of culture is a
question of the future.

We have, however, sufficient food for
thought for another year in trying to find
the peculiarities of these varieties, so
that by another year we may have con-
fidence to plant in quantities.
. That the past year has been progress-
ive there is no doubt and that it has also
been financially a success is also true.
That the coming year may prove equally
good to both hybridists and growers and
that we may be all prosperous and happy
is the New Year's wish of Ribes.

BRIDES AND MAIDS.

We have a house of Bride and Brides-
maid roses that were propagated in Sep-
tember and grown cool all winter, until
March, when they were started with more
heat and planted about the middle of
June out of 3-inch pots into four or five
inches of soil. We used sod with about
one-fifth cow manure, also bone meal.
The Bridesmaids were very slow to start
but both did very well during September

and October, but for some time have not
done well. They seemed to be dormant
for a while and drop a great many leaves.
Lately tney have been putting up some
\ety good ground shoots that we thought
would right things but they are coming
with open buds. Besides, the foliage of
the new growths is dropping oflf and not
of a good color. We have kept a night
temperature of 60 degrees and given good
ventilation. We have used lime and ashes
at different times. They have been wa-
tered regularly. We are at a loss to know
what the trouble is or how to remedy it.
Please tell us what to do. D. & C.

This trouble is very apt to attack roses
which have remained such a long time in
pots. They do not seem ever to take so
kindly to the bench as plants which have
been rooted during the winter and prop-
erly cared for till planting time, June.

Be careful in watering, keeping them
rather on the dry, side. Keep the tem-
perature 56 degrees at night and not to
exceed 75 degrees during the day. Give
plenty of ventilation on every favorable
opportunity and refrain from all kinds
of feeding until the plants regain their
health. Keep the benches clear of dead
and decaying leaves and syringe every
bright morning, but be sure the foliage
has time to dry before sundown.

TO ROSE GROWERS.

Sample copies of this issue of the Ee-
VIEW are mailed to those of the rose
growers who are not already on our sub-
scription list lor the purpose of attract-
ing their attention to the introductorv
article on the "History and Culture of
Grafted Eoses for Forcing," by Alex-
ander Montgomery, Jr., of Waban Eose
Conservatories, Natick, Wass., which will,
we believe, so clearly indicate the value
of what is to come that we shall have
immediate instructions, accompanied by
a dollar, to send the paper regularly. Mr.
Montgomery's contribution on this sub-
ject, and there is none more competent
to discu)» it, will alone be worth far
more than the price of a year's subscrip-
tion to every grower of the rose, be he
veteran or novice. And this series of
articles is but one of many we shall pub-
lish in the year to come, for the Eeview
is representative of the whole trade and
covers its field fully, treating of all sub-
jects as thoroughly and as interestingly
as Mr. Montgomery treats of his.

HOW MUCH COAL?

How much coal does it take to heat
one square foot of greenhouse glass for
an ordinary season; how many pounds
of coal per square foot of glass?

H. 0.

"Coal" is a very vague torm; it all
depends on the kind of coal, making due
allowance for the condition of the
greenhouses, etc. • It would be interest-
ing to compare the results in several
different establishments. Set down the
number of tons of coal you burned last
season, multiply it by 2,000, to get the
number of pounds, and divide by the
number of feet of glass you had to heat.
Then send the result to the Eevtew, and
don't forget to mention the kind of coal.
Sign your letter, but we will not publish
your name if you would rather not
have it.

Rose General Mac Arthur.

THE RETAILER'S VIEW.

Ernst Wienhoeber, than whom no one
in Chicago has a patronage of higher
average class, says that he does not
regard Christmas as an unmixed bless-
ing. "The holiday is always preceded
by a quiet period and followed by a dull
spell," said he, "so that if you take a
stretch of three weeks or so, with Christ-
mas day about in the middle, the total
business is not so very much in excess
of any other equal period of good, ac-
tive, average business.

"Then this matter of the increased
cost of cut flowers is a serious one. I
think our trade will pay as good prices
as most other retailers can command, but
we cannot increase our charges in any-
thing like the proportion in which the
cost of stock increases. To do so would
at once give the impression of attempted
extortion and drive away even our
wealthiest and most liberal patrons, those
whom we do business with right along.

"The result is that at Christmas we
do business at a narrower margin of
profit than at any other season of the
year. It is just the reverse with nearly
every other line. You don 't find the
jewelers, the furniture dealers or any
other class of merchants offering their
closest prices at the holidays.

"But the question of cost of stock
is no more serious to the retailer than
the matter of quality. No matter how
much you pay, you cannot be sure of
freshness because the existence of the
very demand which is the wholesaler's
justification in charging the increased
prices necessitates an accumulation of
stock to fill orders. It wouldn't be fair
for the wholesalers to give one man all
the fresh cut and the others nothing but
pickled stock, so we all fare about alike,
and the day after Christmas those of us

who have a regular patronage begin giv-
ing credit to customers who received un-
satisfactory flowers; indeed, we are often
glad to have the opportunity to erase
the charge ; too often the customer makes
no complaint, but simply stops buying.

"With those who have the trade of
the well-to-do, people who do not feel
the need of economy after the Christmas
purchases, I believe that the unsatisfac-
tory quality of the Christmas cut flow-
ers is the greatest cause of the drop-
ping off of business almost always felt
just after the holiday.

"And plants will not by any means
take the place of cut flowers. They may
supplement the supply, but some of them,
like the Lorraine begonia, for instance,
are equally unsatisfactory to handle un-
der holiday conditions. No, I would by
no means regret it if the ordinary run
of business were not interrupted by
Christmas."

CHRISTMAS BELLS.

The sales of folding red paper Christ-
mas bells have been something enormous
this year. The trade began in early sum-
mer and kept up until Christmas Eve.
Time after time the wholesalers had to
return to the sources of supply. It ia re-
lated that one jobber placed his first
order for fifty dozen with fear and
trembling and that on the next trip of
only a few days one of his traveling men
sold 120 dozen. The large sales are
partly accounted lor by lower prices. The
American manufacturers make the bells
by machinery in quantity and at con-
siderably less cost than previous prices
on German bells. The reduction in prices
has put the bells more or less into the
department stores this season, and proba-
bly they will handle them still more ex-

tensively next year, but the supply trade
feels that there is at least one more good
year for this specialty before it is run
into the ground.

The Christmas bell, or some other factor
hurt the sale of cape flower wreaths but
in some sections the immortelle wreaths
sold better than ever, possibly partly be-
cause a good looking wreath could be
bought cheaper than ever before. They
were of German manufacture and made
of immortelles not good enough to bunch.
In many sections the supply was not
equal to the demand. Most of the wreaths
were embellished by the retailers with
ribbon and green before being shown to
the public.

CHRISTMAS GREENS.

The trade in Christmas greens was this
year, in many respects, much more satis-
factory than the past couple of seasons.
There was enough bouquet green to meet
all requirements of the legitimate trade,
with no great surplus to demoralize the
market, nor any shortage to put prices
beyond reason and make trouble for
those who had booked orders in advance.
The market closed about where it had
stood for three weeks.

The holly situation was not so satis-
factory. The receipts were lighter than
in the past couple of years, with the re-
sult that the grocers and butchers handled
less holly and the trade and the shippers
got better prices. Keally good holly was
very scarce and the market closed strong,
prices higher than at any time in the past
two or three seasons. Even poor holly was
readily salable at the price of fair to
good stock last year. It was used in
making up wreaths, the berries being sup-
plied by Ilex verticilata, the Christmas
or red berry, soid by hundreds of cases
and received of very good quality.

Galax leaves were used to a greater ex-
tent than ever before. Leucothoe was
also used in quantity and one western
house sold many cases of mahonia leaves.
In the east laurel had its usual use and
box green for wreaths and festooning
made a great advance in popular favor.
This is an evergreen not yet used in the
west.

Mistletoe was of better quality than
ever before and also in abundant supply,
with the result that prices in quantity
were moderate. The weather was mod-
erate, permitting the stock to reach mar-
ket in the best of condition.

CARNATION NOTES.-EAST.

Treatment After Christmas.

It is hoped that your plants have given
a good Christmas crop and if so it Ja
obvious that they have received wh.it
might be called a severe pruning. To be
careless in watering is bad enough at
any time, but at this time especially
80. The removal of quantities of bloon
within a few days destroys the balance
between roots and top. All efforts
should ue made to restore this balance
as soon as possible.

A heavy watering or the application of
extra food in any form before the plants
have recovered from the strain would
only Invite disaster. Keep the soil a
trifle on the dry side for a few days. If
the weather is cloudy very little water
will be needed but look sharp for spi'ts
that are apt to dry out by heat from the
pipes. With bright weather a gentle
shower over the plants is beneficial. Use
but little water and give plenty of ven-

tilation even at the expense of fuel. This
should be done early in the morning in
order that the foliage may be dry before
night.

I hesitate to advise overhead watering
during the short days of winter as some
may overdo the matter. We must watch
the weather very closely and if not quite
sure of a pleasant day, put off overhead
watering and water sparingly at the root,
if the plants show signs of flagging.
Every care possible must be taken to get
our plants into vigorous growth, for
propagation in earnest will soon be in
order.

Perhaps you have a good place to put
your cuttings wl^en rooted, but if not get
one ready. See that fresh soil is at
hand and do not delay too long getting
some in to warm up. Geo. S. Osborn.

CARNATION NOTES. -WEST.

Propasatins;.

Now that the holidays are over and
you can get down to the routine work,
you suould begin to work up your young
stock for next season. While there are
many varieties which will make as fine

stock as anyone could wish for, from
February cuttings, yet there are many
varieties that should be propagated in
January or earlier and there are no vari-
ties I know of that are injured a particle
by being propagated this early, provided,
of course, that you take proper care of
the young plants after they are potted
up. They must not be potted into small
pots and left to become stunted, but must
be shifted as required. If you are un-
willing to do this you had better wait
until February before putting in your
cuttings.

If you have some varieties of which
you want all the cuttings you can get
you will have to begin early and take
them off as they grow. You need not sac-
rifice all the blooms, but take off all the
young head cuttings from fhe shoots
that have not begun to run up. These
stubs will break before the other shoots
have all bloomed and the plant need never
be cut down too severely. Don't take out-
tings that are too small and weak. Of
course, there is a large difference in varie-
ties and what would be a fair cutting of
one variety might be a small one of an-
other. We prefer the cuttings that grow
out at the lower joints of the flower
stems, but don't take them from too high
up. A cutting that has an inch of stem
between the flower stem and the lowest
leaves is not fit to use in most cases. An-
other advantage in starting early is that
if, perchance, you should be unfortunate
enough to lose part of your cuttings you
can still get in another batch in good
time, instead of having to buy.

We are this year trimming our cuttings
somewhat less than we used to do. After
making a clean cut at the base, cut back
all those blades that stand out away from
the cutting and leave all those that stand
upright, unless they be long enough to
droop over.

Use clean, sharp sand and have about
three inches of it on the bench after it
is packed. Sprinkle the surface lightly
after pacKing to prevent it from plowing
up too much when making the furrows
for the cuttings. After putting in the
cuttings give them a good soaking to
settle the sand around them. The out-
tings should be about a half-inch to
three-quarters of an inch apart in the
row and the rows about one and one-half
to two inches apart, according to the size
of the cuttings.

While, of course, a specially built prop-
agating house or bench is a very desirable
thing, yet that does not signify that you
cannot successfully root your cuttings with-
out them. A bench built of good, sound
boards, just tight enough to hold the
sand and yet open enough to allow water
to pass through, will root your cuttings
nicely. If you cannot root your cuttings
on this, I doubt very much whether you
will be successful with the most up-to-

date kind of a bench or house. The same
rule holds good as with growing stock.
A good man with a poor house will grow
better stock than a poor man with a good
house. It is the propagator and not the
bench that makes the diflferenee.

The north bench in an even-span house
makes an excellent propagating bench.
If the pitch of the roof is tolerably steep
you can hang a curtain to the sashbars
to keep the sun off. The cuttings will
get the full light and will keep in better
condition than if they were darkened.
When they are rooted you can give them
the sun a few days before potting and,
being on the north side of the house, the
sun will not be too strong for them at
first.

When putting in the cuttings keep the
sand clean. None of the clippings should
be allowed to get between the cuttings.
They will cause fungus. Cleanliness is
the main thing in propagating.

CARNATIONS IN THE SOUTH.

Here is a proporition for some carna-
tion grower which I would like to have
answered through your columns. I have
been trying to run my houses at 55 de-
grees at night and 80 degrees during the
day, and have succeeded very well until
yesterday and last night. My houses (in
Texas) were up to 100 yesterday, with all
the air that I could give and last night I
did not have to fire any at all and they
staid above 60 degrees until just before
day. Now we may have a norther within
the next two or three days and we shall

have to burn coal as fast as we can in
order not to let the houses get too low. 1
am trying to learn all I can about carna-
tions and I would like for Mr. Baur to tell
us what he thinks of this. I have learned
all I know about carnations through your
paper. It is worth everything to a be-
ginner. ' T. N. C.

T don 't know that I will be able to
tell you ju£t what you want to know,
as you do not ask any specific questior.a.
From the tone of your letter I judge you
want me to tell you how to proceed to
produce good carnations. In not knowing
what kind of houses you have for your
carnations, or what shape they are in, 1
also find a stumbling block. With good,
substantial houses, such as we must have
up here, and built according to the needs,
I do not see why you should not grow
very good carnations down your way, at
least a few months during the winter. My
business partner spent many years in the
lower part of your state and knows the
climate thoroughly and he has told mn
enough about it so that I feel that I can
form an idea of how I would proceed.

First of all, vnu want goG<l h'niscs, that
you can close up tight in case of a north-
er. If you have only ten days each win-
ter when you will have to fire hard to
keep them warm it will pay you to have
your houses and heating apparatrs in
such shape that you can keep warm.
Build plenty of ventilators into your
houses. I would prefer houses detache<l
with ventilators on each side of the ridge
and a row of ventilators on each side of
the house below the eave-plates. You

must be prepared to keep warm in case
of cold weather and to keep as cool as the
outside in case of a warm spell ; and since
these changes are apt to come on you sud-
denly you must be all the better pre-
pared for them. I would grow my car-
nations in semi-solid beds, using cinders
in the bottom and four inches of soil for
planting. I think you would find the
quality would keep up much better than
on raised benches.

By selecting your varieties you could
grow only those that best stand warm
weather. For instance. Flora Hill and
Gov. Wolcott for white and E. Crocker
for pink, etc. There are others, but I
merely mention these as examples. If
you can have air on, these varieties will
thrive with a night temperature of 60 de-
grees or even more, but be sure the ven-
tilators are open a few inches. While 100
degrees is much warmer than carnations
enjoy during the day, if the ventilators
are wide open it will not necessarily de-
stroy the quality. In fact Flora Hill and
Crocker are usually at their best in the
spring, when the houses run up toward
100 degrees.

I understand that you have very few
cloudy days even during the winter. Why
can 't you shade your glass a little, the
same as we do during the spring months,
to break the strong rays of the sun? I
would never allow the houses to drop be-
low 55 degrees, as the change would be
too great and woi'ld cause your calyxes
to split as badly as they would for us at
40 degrees in the winter.

Regarding my cultural notes in the Re-
view, T would say, don't try to follow

them too literally. While in the main
they may do all right, yet you must al-
ways make allowance for the difference in
in the climate, etc. Being actively en-
gaged in growing carnations and writing
from experience, as I do, I cannot do
otherwise than take this locality as a
basis for calculating the proper time for
one operation or another. Your own
judgment must alter my recommendations
to suit your case.

Now, if I have not touched upon the
different phases of the case as you wished,
I should be glad to have you send me a
list of direct questions you would like
answered and I will do my best to help
you out. A. F. J. Baur.

OUTDOOR MUMS.

I desire to bed quite a lot of mums in
the garden, where it is my intention to
leave them permanently. I have no ex-
pectation of securing exhibition flowers,
only good plain mums, and would like the
names of about twelve September flower-
ing varieties, which will make a fair show
in such a situation. The earlier I can
secure flowers the better show they will
make. Of course I would like several
colors. Or would you ad visa planting

is the intention to leave them permanent-
ly, as it is more in keeping with their

nature and it is better to nave small but
perfect flowers than larger, imperfect
ones. The amateur with this class can,
with very little trouble, produce just as
fine flowers as the practical florist with
all his expensive paraphernalia. We
would suggest the following as being the
cream of the aster-flowering type, which
is the largest of the pompons :

Blenheim, silver pinkj Cowenton, sear-
let bronze; Hijos, primrose pink; Lady
de Vaul, violet pink; Ontario, lilac;
Prince of Wales, pure white; Bohemia,
pure yellow; Daybreak, daybreak pink;
Joppa, violet crimson ; Mrs. Vincent, vio-
let red; Peto, terra cotta; Sunset, scar-
let bronze. R. A. Vincent.

CHRYSANTHEMUM PROGRESS.

The development of the Japanese
chrysanthemum during the past twenty
years has been both interesting and re-
markable, and it is probable that the
enthusiasm that growers and the public
alike have shown in the chrysanthemum
as an exhibition flower has depended to
a large extent upon the large numbers
of novelties possessing superior merit
from the point of view of the florist
that have been introduced each season.
Judging from recent experience, it seems
hardly likely that such progress as that
which has been obtained can be continued
indefinitely. In point of size not only
are the flowers sufficiently large, but they
appear to have attained to a size which
is nearly ibe limit of which they are can-
able. It is some years now sinc> the
variety Madame Carnot was raised by M.
Calvat, but we believe that there arc few.

if any, recent novelties that are bigger
than the largest specimens of that va-
riety we have seen. In any case, we may
regard it as a blessing if greater size
is not sought in new varieties, but, in-
stead, refinement in contour and rich-
ness, variety and brightness in color are
encouraged. There are so many good
varieties already that we think a very
high standard of merit should be exacted
in varieties to which certificates are
awarded. The Eoyal Horticultural So-
ciety's committee set a good example in
this way on Tuesday last, when many
seedlings were shown for certificate, and
all were rejected. The only award made
was to a sport that will prove valuable
for the supply of the market. — Garden-
ers' Chronicle.

A FAILURE.

Chrysanthemum Miss Winnie Terry.

It has often been noted that a chrysan-
themum which does well in England and
is a valuable commercial or exhibition
variety may not succeed under the condi-
tions existing in the United States. An
example of this is found in Chrysan-
themum Winnie Terry, one of the Wells
set of 1904. The disseminator described
this as a " deep apricot yellow, with long,
flat, drooping florets, making a flower
somewhat similar to Gen. Hutton but
with narrower florets; has splendid
foliage and is a good ' doer ' ; first crown,
four and one-half feet. ' ' But under our
American cultural conditions Winnie
Terry has proved itself worthless, so far
as first season's results go, and in this
case they are apparently conclusive. It
is deficient in petalage and shows no
merit whatever. The illustration shows
the flower as it was exhibited in Eng-
land last season. That it will not do for
us is to be regretted.

RED WAS SCARCE.

* ' Say ! It 's a pipe uat red stuff wuz
a few chips shy dis Chrismus! I guess

ALOIS P. FREY.

The head gardener at Lincoln park,
Chicago, is Alois P. Frey, one of the
youngest men holding so responsible a
position in this country and probably
younger than any man in Europe at the
head of gardening affairs of so great
magnitude. Mr. Frey was born in
Switzerland in 1875. His father was in
the commercial line, doing all kincis of
landscape work as well as growing pot
plants and conducting a seed business.
The son left home when 16 years of age,
spending several years in completing his
horticultural education at such widely
known establishments as those of Wil-
helm Pfitzer, at Stuttgart, Germany;
Schmidt, at Lyon, France, and Edmund
Rochford, Cheshunt, England. He went
home for a visit in 1896 and the follow-
ing year came to America, finding his
first employment on a private place at
Portchester, N. i., where the head gard-
ener was G. X. Amrhyn, now superin-
tendent of parks at New Haven, Conn.
Mr. Frey soon went to spend four years
in the department of floriculture of the
parks superintended by Theodore Wirth
at Hartford, Conn.

Having an ambition to go into busi-
ness for himself, Mr. Frey engaged capi-
tal to build the Hueblein Conservatories
at Hartford. The place cost $20,000 and
was one of the prettiest florist estab-
lishments in the country. But it was
foredoomed to failure. For some reason
never satisfactorily explained plant life
could not exist in the beautiful conserva-
tories and, after much experimenting to
polve the riddle, the place had to be
abandoned. It is now a laundry.

Mr. Frey came to Chicago in July,
1903, at the request of R. H. Warder,
the new superintendent of Lincoln i)ark,
who was familiar with the young man 's
work at Hartford. Mr. Frey was con-
sidering an ofter to liecome the American
representative of Vilmorin-Andrieux et
Cie., the Paris seedsmen, when he re-
ceived Mr. Warder's offer to become as-
sistant head gardener. He became iiea<l
gardener on the retirement of C. J.
Stronibach in August of tills year.

Mr. Frey is a member of tlie S. A. F.,
the American Carnation Society and the
Chicago Florists' "Club and has a deep
interest in all that pertains to the trade.

BOSTON CLUB MEETING.

The meeting of the Boston Oardonrrs'
and Florists' Club on December 20 was
undoubtedly the best the club has yet
held. About sixty, members were present
and but for the near approach of Christ-
mas the number would have been larger.
The exhibits were numerous and of ex-
ceptionally high quality and the meeting

would seem to presage an era of greater
prosperity and added usefulness to the
club.

President Pettigrew read a communica-
tion from the American Vilmorin memo-
rial committee and asked for contribu-
tions in small sums from any of the
memlwrs. A large number gave their
quota. Ten new members were elected.
J. W. Duncan gave a report on the field
day at Franiingham on Df cembi r 17. It
was voted to award certificates to merito-
rious exiiibits, commencing with tiie j)res-
ent meeting. W. \. Craig stated that
Mr. Hartshorne had forwarded Fiancee
and Cardinal carnations for the meeting,
but unfortunately they ha<l not arrived in
time. The ))resident having introduced
David Lumsden. tliat gentleman gave iiis
excellent essay on ferns, wliich was list-
ened to with close attention. In the dis-
cussion following tlie reading, Kenneth
Finlayson, Robert Cameron and others
took part. A vote of thanks to the es-
sayist was carried amid apjdause.

The president ai>pointed the following
conimittfe to judge the exhibits: .Tames
Wheeler. Alexander Montgomery, Peter
Fisher, Robert Cameron and W. X. Craig.
The exhibits included tho following:

(^arnation Winsor. a seedling from
Lawson, warin flesh color, from Peti r
Murray. Fairhaven. M:iss.. awarded hon-
orable mention.

S. .T.tJoddard «ent a vase of his seeil-
ling. Helen (Joddard. previouf^lv rt ferred
to in the Review. It received a certifi-
cate of merit. His seedling No. 19. a
cross between Clarion Buxton and Helen
Goddard. received honorable mention.
Tiiis took the eyes of the members. It
is of a salmon nink shade, fine form,
stiff stem, and will be heard from again.

Peter Fisher received a certificate of
merit for his seedling white. No. 411. a

cut of which appeared in the Review for
November 10. This is a fine, full, pure
white flower, more double than Wolcott.
He also received honorable mention for
seedling No. 173, a shade deeper in color
than Enchantress. Mr. Fisher also
showed Nelson Fisher and other varie-
ties.

M. A. Patten received a certificate of
nu'iit for The .Mikado, very similar to
Prosperity, but said by Mr. Patten to be
fiv? times as prolific. Other interesting
seedlings came from the same exhibitor,
inehiilinfT Tammany Hall, named on ac-
count of its resemblance to a tiger, also
vases of Pink Patten and .1. H. Manley.

Rockland Greenhouses and H. A. Stev-
en.s Co. each scored a certlcate of
merit for Variegated Lawson. That
from the latter exhibitor is much heavier
strined and quite distinct from Mr. Ar-
nold's snort. Stevens Co. showed a dish
of ^Miind mushrooms grown from pure
culture spawn, very solid and of extra
size. They were awarded a cultural
certificate.

William Nicholson, in addition to some
fine carnations. showe<l a vase of splendid
mignonette of the Dailledouze strain,
which received honorable mention.

Bobert Cameron had a large vase of
lu'autiful si)rays of Euphorbia .lacqui-
nia-tlora grown from .Tuly cuttings, kept
in pots outdoors until Septeml:)er and
tii( 11 grown in a rose house.

.fames Wheeler had a fine lot of poin-
settias, both in pots ami cut. He stated
that for food he uses a 6-inch pot each
of bone dust and soot, mixed, in fifty
gallons of water, which toned up the
plants finely.

AlexRnder Ogg had a beautiful speci-
men of Begonia Gloire de Lorraine, which
m< rited the cultural certificate awarded.

W. \. Craig showed La-lia anceps and

varieties alba, Stella, holochila, Perci-
valiana, Williamsii, etc., also L. Gouldi-
ana, a natural hybrid between L. anceps
and L. auturanalis.

Richmond rose from E'. G. Hiil Co.
came in superb condition and was the
star attraction of the meeting. A close
scrutiny of flowers, stems and foliage, to
say nothing of the delightful odor, led
to the unanimous verdict from all pres-
ent that the new western beauty was
"all right" and that Liberty's star
would soon set. The committee on awards
regretted that a certificate of merit was
the highest award in their power.

Mr. Montgomery 's new seedling,
"Wellesley, showed up in fine shape and
also received a certificate of merit. Mr.
Montgomery stated that it is his son's
production, now in its third year and
almost a pure tea. He considers that new
roses would keep on developing charac-
ter up till the seventh year. He had
found Wellesley a thoroughly satisfac-
tory grower and it took remarkably well
at the stores.

In regard to the Fiancee carnation,

"William Nicholson said the custom of
not sending any plants to be grown in
the east was a bad one, for most of the
flowers sent on after two or three days'
journey went to sleep, as a rule, as soon
as unpacked. This was unfair to the
varieties. Introducers of novelties should
see to it that some of their stock is
grown in various sections to allow would-
be purchasers to see some plants grow-
ing, or at least see fresh flowers exhibited.

Peter Fisher, who showed a fine vase
of Flamingo, stated his plants were
grown inside since May. They were very
slow in producing flowers until a month
ago, when he raised the night tempera-
ture to 56 degrees, since which time there
had been a great improvement. The tend-
ency of some of the flowers to come sin-
gle he attributed to over-propagation and
thought a selection of stock would give
much better returns another year.

The next meeting of the club occurs
on January i6. Introducers of novelties,
which have not yet been exhibited before
it, should bear this fact in mind.

NEW YORK DOINGS.

In the issue of December 8 the Eeview
published a note with regard to the open-
ing of a retail store in New York, to be
known as the Flower Market, supposedly
a project of Jos. Fleischman. The fol-
lowing from the New York Sun of Decem-
ber 21 may throw some light on the
project :

A cut rate In cut flowers was begun yester-
day with the opening of a flower marltet in
Forty-fourth street, near Delmonlco's. The mar-
ket purports to be the outgrowth of dictatorial
methods on the part of Jobbers and of over-
charging in the business. It is said to be
managed by a combination of suburban flower
growers, who propose to make the haughty
Jobbers and retailers get on the low price
band wagon or go out of business.

This is a pretty good-sized Job to negotiate,
as the combination admits, but its members
say they are abundantly equipped to handle it.
They propose that the flowers shall go direct
from the grower to the buyer. There are to
be no middlemen to swell prices at any stage
of the proceeding.

The new flower market Is to be a sort of
floral clearing house, where the public will be
able to buy flowers at about the same prices
which the growers haye been getting from the
buyers. By short circuiting the connection be-
tween the man who grows flowers for profit
and the man who buys flowers for pleasure the
combine expects to reduce by Just that much
the price of transmission. Then, again, there
will be no fancy rents to pay and expensively
equipped stores to keep up.

"We opened at 7 o'clock this morning," said
Conright C. Young, manager of the new flower
market, last evening, "and we have been ^ing
excellent business all day. We undersell the
regular dealers by SO. 75 and even 100 or more
per cent, straight through on all flowers we
handle. FV>r instance, there are some Ameri-
can Beauty roses. We are selling them for
$3 a dozen. You would" have' to pay from
$7 to flO a dozen for them at any well
equipped retail store. There are some En-
chantress carnations. Our price is $1.50 a
dozen. The regular retailers ask $3 for them.
Then, again, there are some Lawson carna-
tions. You may possibly have heard of Law-
son. We get a dollar for them; the retailers
ask f2.

"This trouble in the flower trade dates hack
some years. It began with the wholesalers
dipping into the retail business. They did it
on the sly at flrst. and then they came out
into the open and did it deflantly. They sold
flowers right and left in retail quantities at
wholesale prices. That and other things de-
moralized the trade until finally the growers
got disgusted and organized this company to
handle their own crops. It will enable a good
many people in New York to have fiowers on
their tables who never thought they could afTord
to have them."

In commenting on the enterprise to a
reporter Alex McConnell said:

It is more profitable for a large grower to
dispose of his product through a representative
Jobber in New York than to deal directly with
the retail stores. They thereby obtain better
prices for their goods. It is undoubtedly more
remunerative for the retailer to purchase from
the Jobber such stock as he requires each day.
Another advantage to the retailer is his ability
to thus buy the best there is in the market, as
each grower excels in some particular product,
one making a specialty of roses, another of car-
nations, another of violets. And by this true
and tried system the retailer is enabled to se-
lect from the best productions of horticul-
turists.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

SOME POINTS ON PHLOXES.

For year8 I have raised seedling
phloxes and have been delighted vyith the
results, often finding those equal if not
superior to the foreign ones. Last year
I found the key to success and have been
filled with delight at the result. One of
the largest and best of our importations
is the Crepuscule. It has a flower some-
times larger than a silver dollar. It is
white with a violet shading and an eye
of carmine purple. It has a rather
dwarfish stem and puts all its vigor in
the blooms instead of wasting it in wood.
It has aiso a full orbed head and con-
tinues a long time in bloom, so you see
it has all the points of excellence, and,
besides all this it is a variety that im-
presses itself on its neighbors.

I planted this in the center of a
group of other choice ones and last fall
planted the seeds and thus have secured at'
least twenty new kinds which have been
the delight of. florists. Among those
near was the French Coquelicot. This is
bright orange scarlet, very striking in
■color, but nearly worthless in the west
because it lacks robustness. It is not
bealthy and sunburns fearfully and yet
crossing this with its neighbor, the Crep-
■uscule, gave the same brightness of color
which was its chief merit, a more robust
constitution and flowers double the size of
the parent, Coquelicot. In short the French
variety seemed to have a tremendous in-
fluence on all the neighbors, often im-
proving the color and increasing the size.
A florist came to see some of my new
creations. Taking a silver dollar he laid
it on one flower and, measuring care-
fully, said : " It will take just about $1.35
to cover the whole. ' ' In color some were
much like the seed parent, others deep
red, some maroon and a marvelous vari-
ety of tints which came from the for-
tunate blending.

There is this in seeking gems among
the phloxes: You find out in eight to ten
mDnths just what you are getting. Save
the seed just before the pods burst. Place
them in a box with a cover for they will
pop out when they open. This is a pro-
vision- of nature to have them extend
their area as far as possible. Plant the
«eed In the fall ; let it lie in the slush anu
«now. If planted in the spring better plant
under a screen and see that the seeds do
not dry when germinating. Get the larg-
est and finest phloxes you can find; those
that have full symmetrical heads, plant
near together and save the seeds. I have
secured Antonin Mercie, enormous white
flower bordered with clear lilac; Bac-
chante, very large, in color rosy carmine
Tvith purple eye; Daniel Leseuer, violet
edges and center of petals white, and
many others and I am sure of apli^ndid
results. C. S. Harrison.

Belleville, III. — A. S. Halstead, of
the St. Clair Floral Co., has had a busy
fall and winter with the new carnation
plant recently constructed.

QuiNCY, III. — Gentemann Bros, report
the Christmas business as far and away
better than heretofore. They sold out of
both blooming plants and cut flowers.

Richmond, Ind.— G. E. Cause says:
"Christmas business with us was fully
fifty per cent ahead of any previous
year; carnations in the lead, with roses
a close second; green moss wreaths and
holly sold well. Boston ferns were also
in demand. Prices about the same as
last year."

The Christmas Market

The business done in cut flowers and
in plants at Christmas was larger than
ever before. The quality of the stock sold
was excellent and for choice cut blooms,
carefully graded, prices were higher than
in 1902 and 1903. The demand for
flowers of the Christmas color was ex-
ceptional. The supply was large but in-
sufficient. Beauties and Liberty roses,
Flamingo, Crane and Adonis carnations,
euphorbia, poinsettla, and red bouvardia
were all valuable stock, the quality bring-
ing fancy prices. The figures quoted as
possible in this column last week were
practically correct. Fancy Beauties
brought $15 a dozen. Fancy Liberties
were very few, bringing $6 to $9 a dozen.
Flamingo $2 a dozen. Crane and Adonis
$6 to $10 per hundred. Good Maids
were scarce at $20 to $25. Prosperity car-
nations brought $12 to $15. Enchantress,
with far larger sales, brought $10 to
$12. Double violets brought $1.50 to
$2, single violets 75 cents to $1. The
weak stocks on the list were white
flowers. Brides lagged behind Maids.
Romans and Paper Whites were not
wanted. Carnations never sold better

at Christmas. The crop was immense
and the quality fine.

The weather, excepting on Friday, was
mof:t unfavorable. The large supply
and generally good quality reflect much
credit to the growers, as does the skill-
ful and systematic manner in which the
wholesalers and retailers sold and de-
livered the product. The stormy day
Saturday was bad for transient business,
violets suffering especially, but the tele-
phone made up for the weather in many
cases. The plant demand, especially for
blooming stock, such as Lorraine be-

primroses, etc., was very heavy, one
firm, Pennock Brothers, "having to se-
cure an extra supply as late as Satur-

mired and bought generously of every-
thing from Christmas bells to Christ-
mas hampers filled with pretty plants.
Taken altogether, Christmas 1904, proves
that the love for and knowledge of
plants and flowers is growing; that our
people are prosperous and willing to pay
a good price for a good quality. We
must continue to do all in our power to
foster this refining taste.

The Leo N lessen Co. has sent out a
beautiful calendar for 1905. It repre-
sents a maiden carrying a bunch of Eas-
ter lilies.

Various Notes.

"Good, all went well but ordinary
prosperous New Year.

H. Bayersdorfer & Co. have reason
to be proud of the way their Christmas
novelties took with the general public.
Their effort to meet the demand for nov-
elty and variety is meeting with grati-
fying success.

M. Rice & Co.'s business tliis season
broke all previous records. Notwithstand-
ing tlie great Christmas rush, they were
able to take good care of all rush
orders ^ent them, having large surplus
stock to draw from. This year was the
most prosperous in their business ca-
reer. The plans for their new building
have been completed and approved and
work will begin in the early part of the
new year.

D. T. Connor states that Lord & Burn-
ham Co. has lately put in a now Chal-
lenge boiler for J. J. Habermehl's Sons,
at Twenty-second and Diamond streets,
disconnecting two old boilers and con-
necting the now one in three days.

Myers & Samtman are reported to
have had 7,000 Beauties. It is cer-
tain that they had an immense crop.

H. H. Battles made a round of the
commission houses with his buyer, John
Mclntyre, late on I^ridaj' night. Time
being precious, they went in a cab and
secured much desirable stock just in
from the growers. ,

Thomas Butler, who represents H.
Waterer, the Seventh street seedsman,
has had a phone put in his house for
tlie benefit of his business friends. He
says business is good. His joyous smile
proclaims that this is true. In times
<4 4»\\nem hh smile is still there, only
it is sadder.

Stephen ^Mortenson, of Southampton,
sent a few very choice Liberties to Sam-
uel S. Pennock.

The Millbrook-Loe Greenhouses, of
Whitford. Pa., Maull and Howell, pro-
prietors, have been sending Enchantress,

Lawson and other fancy carnations to
William J. Moore. The quality of the
stock reflects the greatest credit on the
grower, John Stanley.

The Flower Market had a great run
on their fine Beauties. Among the buyers
was Frank P. Myers, who bought a
dozen of the best brand, M. & S. stamped
on the leaf, evidently for a Christmas
gift.

The trade in greens and in Christmas
trees was very heavy.

Too tired to write any more this year.

BOSTON.

The Christmas Market.

Although there were no sensational ad-
vances in prices, as some had predicted,
the Christmas trade of 1904 will go on
record as very satisfactory. So far as can
be learned, it has been equally good for
wholesalers and retailers. Of course, the
holding back process caused a certain
stagnation in one or two lines, but not of
sufficient magnitude to be of great im-
portance.

The output of roses was rather larger
than had been expected, especially of
Brides and Bridesmaids. Prices on these
showed no great advance, about $15 to
$18 being secured for select stock, a larg-
er proportion going at from $8 to $12.
American Beauties brought $100 for long-
stemmed stock, 24-inch-stems going at
from $50 to $75. Best quality Meteor
and Liberty sold at $50. In Killarney,
Chatenay, Wellesley and other sorts, price
did not rise much over normal figures. In
carnations, fancy scarlets, such as Fla-
mingo and Manley, made $10. Enchant-
ress, Harry Fenn and one or two other
fancies made $8 to $10. Some extra
quality Prosperity were reported to have
made $15. Good flowers of other varie-
ties made $4 to $6, inferior stock going
lower, whites being the hardest to move.

Violets easily made $2 if of good qual-
ity. The supply of these was unequal to
the demand. Both double and single were
of fine quality. Poinsettias are not much
handled in a cut state in Boston. Select
bracts sold at 50 cents. Roman hyacinths
and Paper Whites made no advance and
were, as usual, hard to move. There was
a good supply of Liliuni Harrisii from
Peirce and Roland, these making $15 to
$18. Lily of the valley made $4 to $6.
Bouvardia, callas, stevia, mignonette and
cypripediums made no particular advance.

Plants are not handled largely at the
markets. Peirce sold large quantities of
azaleas at the Park street market and
some other growers had cyclamens, prim-
ulas, solanums and Boston ferns. Mann
Bros, had a lot of berried hollies in pots,
which sold well. At the stores the plant
trade was of far more than the usual
Christmas proportions. There can \ye no
mistaking the fact that plants are to a
considerable degree usurping the place
formerly occupied by cut flowers as
Christmas gift?. The best sellers ap-
peared to be Lorraine begonias and aza-
leas. Poinsettias also sold in larger num-
bers than usual. Other sellers were cyc-
lamens, primulas, ardisias, Aucuba Japon-
ica, holly, solanums, Er[cas fragrans and
E.Tiyeniali?. Trade in palms, ferns and
other foliage plants was rather slow.

The supplies of Christmas greens were
pretty well cleaned up on December 24.
The quantity on hand was smaller than
usual and good stock readily brought high
prices. The numerous dealers in Christ-
mas trees, wreathings, etc., on South Mar-

ket street were cleaned out several hours
before the time limit for clearing the
street.

Since Christmas supplies have not been
very abundant, due to cold, cloudy weath-
er, and good prices have been maintained.
Our Christmas weather was cold, temper-
ature standing about 20 degrees above
zero most of December 24. A consider-
able additional snowfall came on the even-
ing of December 25.

The managers of both the Park street
and new market report Christmas trade
as very satisfactory, with stock of excep-
tionally good quality.

Various Notes.

The blooms of Fiancee and Cardinal
carnations, which arrived a day too late
for the club meeting, were on exhibition
at the Park street market for several
days.

M. H. Norton opened a store at 1 A.
Park street a few days ago. We are glad
to state that Mr. Norton reports an ex-
cellent Christmas trade in plants, flowers
and greenery. We trust he may continue
to prosper.

John Mutch, Newtonville, at one time
orchid grower for J. E. Rothwell and for
several years in business in Newtonville,
has failed. Liabilities are given as $2,-
470.30, assets $765. Mr. :Mutch grew a
considerable quantity of orchids, chiefly
cattleyas.

William H. Elliott, of Brighton, was
the largest shipper of Liberty roses for
the Christmas trade. His cut was of its
usual high class quality.

The wholesale growers of decorative
plants all report first-class business.
Thomas Roland, of Nahant, who grows a
large assortment, and grows them remark-
ably well, reports that he was as closely
sold out of all flowering plants as he
cared to be. In cyclamens, Begonia
Gloire do Lorraine, which he grows in
immense quantities, and poinsettias, he
had to refuse orders for over two wefks
before Christmas. Azaleas and primulas
also sold well. In ferns Nophrolepis
Scottii sold fairly well.

E. N. Peirce & Co. had some 1,500
azaleas in prime condition for Christmas
and cleared all out. Leuthy & Co., Ros-
lindale, sold out a house containing 1,200
and had good trade in Begonia Gloire de
Ix)rraine and fern jardinieres. Farquhar
& Co. disposed of a big lot of Lorraine
begonias, azaleas, primulas, cyclamens,
etc. W. W. Edgar sold out a large stock
of poinsettias, Lorraine' begonias, azaleas,
primulas and cyclamens. L. H. Foster
estate did a heavy trade in Boston ferns.

Charles Sander has a good batch of the
Turnford Hall sport of Begonia Gloire de
Lorraine and considers it a fine thing and
especially good under artificial light.

William Sim had 100,000 Princess of
Wales violets for Christmas, all of superb
quality and could have sold many more,
also 5,000 of Mont Blanc and Earliest
of All sweet peas of grand quality.

William Spilishury had 22,000 single
violets on Saturday morning at the Park
street market alone. A Foxboro grower
had .35,000 Campbells and all cleared out
quickly.

Welch Bros, did an enormous Christmas
business, breaking all previous Teeord«;
In greens they could have sold much more.
While bulbous stock and cheaper grades
of carnations and roses arrived in sur-
prising quantities and were rather hard
to move, the great bulk of the receipts
were of the usual high quality handled by
this firm and their shipping trade was of
enormous proportions, calls coming from

all parts of New England. No Boston
firm handled so many high class Beauties,
Liberties and Queen of Edgely.

N. F. McCarthy & Co., Geo. A. Suther-
land Co., and H. M. Robinson & Co. all
did a heavy trade in Christmas greens,
the last named firm doing a record break-
ing business. All the commission houses
hail to work all night Saturday and most
of Sunday, although some lines were prac-
tically cleaned out on Saturday.

The supply of orchids at the stores,
outside^of Cypripedium insigne and Cat-
tlya Percivaiiana, was quite small. Some
Lselia anceps and Calanthe Veitchii were
about the only other varieties noted.

Nicholson 'p Prosperities were superb
and netted the grower $15 per hundred.
No other carnation brought as high a
price as* Prosperity and those who grow
it well, find that nothing pays them better.
Quite a number of fancy carnations made
up to $12.

Galvin practically cleaned Edgar and
Peirce out of azaleas, selling an enormous
quantity at his Back Bay and Tremont
street stores.

The first freesias of the season came in
time for Christmas. They sold for .$6.
Myosotis sold at $3.

As usual there was an over-stock of
bulbous tlowers and white carnations.
Quite a number of the latter were left
unsold. Tiie growers were a happy crowd
at 10 a. nj. on December 24, being about
cleaned out of everything.

ST. LOUIS.

Christmas Trade.

The busy days of Christmas trade were
very trying on the local florists. Most
of them report business better than last
year, while others say about the same,
so taking all accounts together the Christ-
mas business can be classed as very satis-
factory all around. The weather was
not at all pleasant ; though not cold, it
was dark and cloudy. Plants were easily
delivered without any wrapping, which
saved a great deal of work for those who
handled a big stock of blooming plants,
which sold much better this year than
last.

The wholesalers had a great deal of
trouble with the express companies in
getting their consignments on time, some
not coming in until tiie afternoon on
Saturday and they were obliged to send
their own wagons after the consignments.
Another complaint is that the express
companies refused to take back empties
until after Monday.

Growers should mark their boxes "This
side up, " as a great many of them were
standing on their ends and the heads of
the best stock broken off. As usual,
some of the growers resorted to pickling,
which showed plainly on some of the
s-tock that came in. But the bulk of
our stock was of very good quality and
sold at good prices. In roses, Beau-
ties, ^Meteors, Liberties and Brides-
maids sold well. Brides, as usual at this
TioTTday, were not in demand, but all the
colored stock was limited. Prices ruled
high on prime stock.

The carnation. market was very healthy
and a big supply came in, plenty of white
and pink, but red was very scarce.
Everythinsr sold clean except the so-called
held-over stock, which the trade will not

buy in these times. The top price on
fancy goods was $8 per hundred.

Violets Avere high in j)rice and the re-
tailers did not take any too well to them,
as the general public will not stand for
the price they are obliged to ask for
them. There was a big supply of Ro-
mans and Paper Whites, which sold well
at $3 and $4 per hundred. These were
about the only items left over at the
wholesale houses. Lily of the valley sold
fairly well. Harrisii lilies were scarce,
also callas. Some good stock in sweet
peas was offered at $1 and $2 per hun-
dred. Poinsettias sold well but were
not over-plentiful. Smilax and aspara-
gus at normal prices, sold well.

The retailers in the fashionable local-
ities did a big plant trade and greater
preparations were made this year than
ever before. Azaleas, begonias, poinset-
tias, orange trees and decorative foli-
age plants were abundant and of excel-
lent quality.

The holiday business in greens was
much better than last year and it seemed
that not enough holly could be secured
for the demand. Wreathing also sold
well, but the price is getting too low for
the florists to handle, as the grocer,
butcher and baker are handling wreath-
ing at 5 cents a yard and holly wreaths
at 10 cents, such as they are.

Various Notes.

Fred Weber's automobile delivery
worked overtime on Christmas and came
in handy for plant delivery in quick
time.

Frank Fillmore received a novel Christ-
mas present; a traveling bag with a com-
plete outfit for the carnation society
meeting next month, which he is making
preparations to attend.

Frank Fillmore, Sr., is visiting his
daughters in Chicago thp past two weeks,
spending Christmas with them.

Mrs. M. M. Ayers did a big business
in both plants and cut flowers, much
greater than last year.

George Waldbart, as usual, was sold
out early of everything fancy.

The Ellison Floral Co. and Mary Os-
tertag had all they could do to get
through by noon Sunday with their de-
livering. Everything sold well.

Ed Buechel, of the Riessen Floral Co.,
spent his Christmas in bed nursing his
broken leg, while the company was busy
as bees the past week.

C. Young & Sons Co. had the four big
delivery wagons going the past week, at-
tending to the wants of the large trade.

The club members should not forget
the meeting on Thursday, January 12,
as the first meeting of the year is a'lwnys
well attended. A big attendance is
looked for. Those going to the Chicago
carnation meeting should not fail to be
on hand to hear the report of the com-
luittoe. J. J. B.

DETROIT.

The Christmas Trade.

If a sleepy, tired and worn-out look
is aioy indication of a good Christmas
trade, then the florists of Detroit cer-
tainly had good business, for they all
had that appearance by Sunday morning.
My first call was at Breitmeyers ', where
they had eleven hacks out besides their
own wagons, delivering goods before
seven o'clock Christmas morning. They
report sales about evenly divided be-
tween cut flowers and plants, everything
in plants selling well except the white
sport of Lorraine. All hands worked
all night on Saturday, filling orders. Sul-
livan says it was a plant Christmas, with
poinsettias in S-inch pots in the lead
and not enough to go around. He said
the price of cut flowers ran too high,
but he wa8 buying carnations on Sunday
morning,' so they must have sold, too.
Schroeter did a splendid trade with
plants in the lead. With Taepke every-
thing sold and he had plants to suit the
purses of all classes, from 25-cent prim-
roses to baskets at $15. The Detroit
Horal Co. say the cut flower trade won
out in that locality, anything in red sell-
ing well. In plants poinsettias and
Boston ferns took the lead.

A visit to the Michigan Cut Flower
Exchange found everything cleaned up
except some late mums and white carna-
tions. All report a very good trade in
green goods, especially holly, which was,
however, of very poor quality. During
the week before Christmas tne retailers
all were very pessimistic as to trade and
many were afraid to stock up, for not
many advance orders came in, the result
being that when the rush began they
had no stock to show their customers, so
lost some business which went where the
goods were to be seen.

Various Notes.

At the last meeting of the club it was
decided to try and secure the appoint-
ment of Robert Flowerday as park com-
missioner and a committee was named
to wait upon the mayor-elect to that
effect. The florists sJl feel that- the
appointment would be a most excellent
one, but politics may interfere, or, more
properly speaking, politicians.

It looks as if about twenty will attend
the A. C. S. meeting in Chicago.

Eao.

TJniontown, Pa. — The Barton Floral
Co. is getting a very nice line of dec-
orative work.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

Because of differences in dates of cuts
and the shiftings of growers, reports
vary as to how the total of Christmas
sales compares with last year, but where
a few may have, for these reasons, done
no more than a year ago, or even a little
less, others did considerably better than
ever before, so that in the aggregate this
market made another high water mark.
As forecasted in this column for the
past two weeks, the supply turned out to
be much heavier than was thought pos-
sible when the wholesalers first began
to figure on Christmas price lists, but
the demand kept pace with the supply,
so that prices, with a few exceptions,
were well maintained and all good stock
cleaned up. A noteworthy feature was
that the out-of-town business did not
show* an increase in proportion to the
increase in city business and up to Fri-
day things were quiet.

Had it not been for the great numbers
of long Beauties used by some of the
first-class city stores there would have
been a serious over-supply on this item,
for the receipts were very great, and as
it was, when a customer called for 24-
inch stems, sometimes the wholesaler
would take a dozen long-stemmed flow-
ers back of the icebox and bring out the
required length. The holiday call for
Beauties was never more fully satisfied
in this market.

The Christmas call is always for first-
class stock and a good many more Maids
and some more Brides of the highest
quality could have been used to ad-
vantage. The shortage of this grade
made a fair market for the seconds and
the "crap" also profited, but there
were very few times during the week
when plenty of this could not be found.
In the end, however, the roses all cleaned
up at prices in keeping with the quality.
Of course Liberty and Meteor were far
short of the demand, as is always the
case at Christmas.

Carnations held up to quoted rates,
with red and fancy Enchantress bringing
top-notch prices, but white had to be
forced on the buyers or sold below the
price of colored stock, and some were
carried over. Violets, next in impor-
tance, were very weak, the only item
which did not do as well as might be
asked. Never before did so many east-
em violets reach this market. They
came literally by wagon loads and the

market went to pieces. The buyer made
the price and Tuesday still saw some of
Saturday's receipts unsold. The singles
did fairly well, considering, but there
was little chance for Campbell. Poin-
settias, good mignonette, etc., cleaned up
well. Paper "V^tes and Romans hung
but valley sold well.

Taking it all in all, quality was as
good as can be expected when so much
storing must inevitably be done, and
prices on good stock held unusually well.
There was a little weakening on Friday,
but as soon as the city trade started
the market for good stuff stiffened again.
At least one wholesale house was deliv-
ering goods all night Saturday. Sunday
saw good business, taking all stock in
sight, and Monday, with light receipts,
the demand kept up. Tuesday there was
not much doing and not much to do with,
so that the market continues steady, car-
nations stiff and long Beauties the weak-
est item on the list.

The Retail Trade.

The retailers are a unit in declaring
this the best Christmas to date. They
had all prepared for good business, but
few had counted on a record-breaker,
and the way they "hollered" for sup-
plies Saturday night and Sunday morn-
ing was a pleasure to the, at that time
somewhat disappointed, wholesalers. They
used immense quantities of cut stock of
all sorts and, after the market stiffened
from its single slight weakness, did not
question price if they were so fortunate
as to find the goods they wanted of the
desired quality. Many of them worked
all night Saturday. Thousands of
Christmas bells, wreaths, etc., were sold
and many used up their stocks of hamp-
ers, baskets, pot covers, etc., before all
their orders were out. Every Christmas
plant was sold. Indeed, had there been
more plants the sales on cut flowers
would have been less, for some of the
leading stores reported that many cus-
tomers chose plants in preference to cut
stock so long as the supply lasted.
Azaleas were very well flowered and the
principal item in blooming plants, but
poinsettias in pans, also cyclamens, sold
well and primroses were popular in bas-
kets and hampers. Aucubas, ardisias
and solanums were fairly abundant and
took well. Very little ribbon but many
pot covers were used.

out clean Saturday night. He also had a
good cut of liberty. It was far and
away his best Christinas.

John Poehlmann says that their sales
for Christmas week were sixty-six per
cent ahead of the same periou in 1903.
They have over 100,000 feet more glass
this season, but even at that it speaks
for a good cut.

Ed Winterson ' did not go out of the
store Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or
Friday nights.

The staff at J. A. Budlong's store re-
paired to the greenhouses after supper
Friday night and staid there until six
o'clock Saturday morning, grading and
packing stock for Saturday's delivery
to the retailers.

Weiland & Risch had a tremendous cut
of Maids of the ' ' double extra ' ' variety.

E. E. Pieser says that the only thing
he didn't like about Christmas was the
way the violet market acted. They could
have used more of everything else.

The eWorld 's Fair Flower Show Asso-
ciation on December 23 returned to guar-
antors the twenty per cent assessment
levied late in October to meet prelim-
inary expenses of the St. Louis show.
Possibly it was in the nature of a Christ-
mas present. There is also a New Year 's
gift in prospect.

E. C. Amling says that one of the
most pleasing features of the Christmas
business was the way the carnations
traveled.

An out-of-town buyer cannot lose his
standing quicker than by refusing a C.
O. D. A buyer in Missouri did this on
an order for $37 shipped him by a local
house on December 17. The box was or-
dered returned, unpacked and put in the
icebox. On Saturday night, just a week
after the first shipment, the stock was
sold over the counter to a man with his

Christmas Notes.

Again we have had a merry Christmas
and though the great day of reunions,
gifts and demonstratioij of human love
and sympathy is but a memory, its les-
sons of good will and kindness will re-
main as long as life endures. It is an
interesting thing, this gift of prophesy.
It does not always work. This year it
was a credit to its exponent. Everything
came true to name, even the weather.
The air was mild. Plants hardly needed
an extra protection. The big snow storm
held off graciously until about everything
was safely delivered.

Prices of all cut flowers just came up
to anticipations as quoted in the last
issue. The best actually reached the
high figures given. There was a great
1 improvement in the freshness of stock,
very little pickling, and what little there
was receiving the condemnation it de-
served. Before long it will be a dis-
grace to hold and send in aged flowers.
By that time no reputable wholesaler
will handle such goods at all. This will
be retributive justice. "Whatsoever a
man soweth, that shall he also reap."

It was a splendid Christmas. None has
a serious complaint to make. (Jrowers
who sent good stock realized good prices,
not the unnatural, exorbitant figures of
other years, when values wire boomed
above all reason and everybody was made
uncomfortable, but good, fair, advanced
rates that were natural and expected and
accepted uncomplainingly by buyers. So
the growers have reason to say it was a
merry Christmas and the wholesalers well
may make merry, for wlien the smoke of
battle cleared away on Sunday tlu re was
literally nothing left and prices, starting
at fair levels, actually advanced as the
day wore on.

Retailers paid the figures demanded
because they knew they were fair and
just, and there you are. And such a re-
tail business. Never were cut flowers ao
appreciated and cleaned up these many
years and plants of every kind, and in
every style of arrangement, overwhelm-
ingly in evidence everywhere as they
were, were short of the demand. And

supplies of green goods, holly, every-
thing that goes with Christmas, including
thousands upon thousands of bells of
every kind and size and material, from
paper to plushine, from silk to immor
telles, all were sold.

There would be no use particularizing.
Every man in the business would have to
receive recognition. It was simply a
banner Christijias and notwithstanding
t\\e prophesy of the French seeress of
widespread disaster in 1905, it looks to
our optimistic eyes like the greatest hor-
ticultural year the world has ever known.

Plant arrangements this year were ex-
ceptionally unique and beautiful. The
artistic color grouping speaks well for
the adepts who in each of the large re-
tail stores make this a specialty. The
plants themselves were perfect; they
must be to suit the New York taste, and
l)lantsmen in and around this city lead
the world.

Among retail Christmas orders, to give
our friends in the smaller cities and
towns some idea of what the festive sea-
son of gifts develops in New York, 1
know of one order for sixty separate doz-
ens American Beauties at $20 a dozen
and one batch of orders for $900 worth of
plants in baskets sent out to twenty-five
different homes as Christmas greetings.

A visit to the Hinode Co. 's nc\r plant
at Whitestone is suggested. The Christ-
mas demand absorlwd every tiny Japan-
ese plant, of which not long ago the
supply seejned inexhaustible. They are
expert growers of Harrisii as well as
longiflorum lilies. They are already
booking Easter orders.

A horseman clad in ancient armor
marched up and down Fifth avenue last
week with trumpet extended and banner
unfurled. For a minute it seemed as
tliough the days of old had returned,
when knighthood was in flower. Every-
body stopped to have a look and thos<
who followed the stately prancer were
led to the so-called Flower Market or
Forty-fourth street, just oflf of Fifth ave-
nue, where the poverty-stricken million-
aires will have an opportunity to buy at
the same prices they have always paid,
satisfied if they think they are saving
money. It 's a good scheme, worthy of
the advanced advertising age. In the

Flower Market ^tself things look about
as they do in any florist 's store, only
three or four lady stenographers are very
busy, the merry click of their machines
making a business-like melody, while men
clad in long blouses of a blue-gray color,
wonderfully like butch?rs' aprons over in
dear old Lunnon, ' ' don 't cher know, ' '
wait upon the customers very much as do
the clerks in the other stores. I didn't
see any of the fifty growers, but I didn 't
go down cellar. I hardly think any of
the big fellows on the avenue will close
this week, however.

The Begonia Gloire de Lorraine bas-
kets and balls were one of the crowning
glories of the season. They were every-
where and yet there were not enough of
them. Wonderfully popular they were,
plants from 50 cents to $10 arranged in
baskets. And bells, bells; it took little
imagination to hear them ringing out the
glad tidings of good will to men and
peace on earth. (Russia and Japan ex-
cepted.) The mistletoe did service at
the old stand as usual. There are some
customs that never grow old. Those or-
ange trees in yellow baskets with yellow
ribbons were very pretty and they sold
like hot cakes. Poinsettias, ardisias, brill-
iant dracajnas, anything with a tinge of
red in it, went without urging. .

McConnell's new glass fernery graces
many a table today. His English stone
vases, of which he is sole arbitrator in
New York, attracted attention.

Orchids, the plants with ribbons and
baskets to match, were among the
choicest items. Never was the heather
more worthy of ' ' lore and lay. ' ' It
was grown to perfection.

"Jimmy" Collins, with Mackintosh, is
better after two fights with appendicitis,
just in time for some of his fine novel-
ties.

Warren B. Craw, of the Lord & Burn-
ham Co., has been spending the holiday
part of his wedding trip at Washington.
He will see all the principal cities of the
country duriner his four months' honey-
moon and will soon be reveling in the
glories of Pike's Peak and the Rockies.

There was a runaway last week on
Twenty-ninth street. The boys won the
victory over the frightened horse and
paved everything but the shaft and hay-

The superintendent ot the Lawrence
Estate, at Elmhurst, a Mr. Burkhard,

Everything comes to him who waits. We
congratulate the profession.

Some great balls and pubUc decora-

year; 1,200 invitations, the largest ever
given in New York. The Arion is close
at hand also. The opera season is at its

height. The coming January will be the
most brilliant month old New York has
ever seen. March 4 Is very near. There
will be something doing every day and
night until the great inaugural ball at
WasMngton.

Next week, Monday, January 9, the
first of the New York Florists' Club's

be a great send-off and the president will

CYANIDE AGAIN.

In the Review of November 10 you
speak of the quantity of cyanide to use
for 2,000 cubic feet of space and of the
method of using it. I have two houses,
each of 10,000 cubic feet or over. I grow
Grand Rapids lettuce and every winter
am more or less troubled by green fly.
Sometimes we are able to control it by
smoking with tobacco stems. This sea-
son it is unusually bad and excessive
smoking is hard on the lettuce, so I hail
with delight a sure and safe destroyer.
Will you tell me how you would use the
cyanide so as to safely disseminate the
fumes through so large a space f Each
house is 24x100. W. M. P.

In a house 24x100 feet I would advise
the use of three jars and it will be better
to have two-gallon jars to prevent boil-
ing over. Have one jar at each end of
the house and one in the center. Use one
pint of acid and two and one-half ounces
of cyanide for each jar. Put the acid
with an equal amount of water together
in each jar. Then begin at the end far-
thest from the door Ut drop in the cya-
nide. Have this wrapped up in thick pa-
pers, two and one-half ounces in each.

Drop in paper and all and you will be
able to drop in all three and get to the
door before the acid has eaten through
the paper, which it has to do before the
gas begins to be given off. Make sure
to lock the door, so that no one can get
in. Operate at night and by next morn-
ing the house can safely be entered. Be
sure that the foliage is dry and the tem-
perature below 60 degrees, which it
would of course be in a lettuce house.
The quantity given here is not so strong
as usually recommended but I have found
it quite strong enough to kill green fly.
If your house is very close and the night
still a smaller quantity might do the work
but I have used it stronger than this,
when experimenting with no bad results.

[We fear that Mr. Croydon has not
made sufficiently clear, in the above, the
deadly character of the gas. Under no
circumstances delay one instant in get-
ting out of the house after having
dropped the package of cyanide in the
jar of acid. — Ed.]

LETTUCE.

The season so far has been favor-
able for the growth of lettuce, as we
have had very little dull, damp weather,
but we are not out of the woods until we
get through the month of January. So
far this season we have had no trouble
whatever with leaf bum or similar dis-
eases. As a preventive against these it
is well to keep the soil rather on the
dry side now, to keep the plants firm and
to keep the soil weU stirred and all de-
cayed or yellow leaves picked off as soon
as they appear.

If raised benches are employed for
growing lettuce it will be necessary to
apply water oftener to prevent the beds
from becoming dry. I think this fre-

quent application of water necessary for
raised benches is one of the chief rea-
sons why lettuce does not succeed as well
on benches as in solid beds and I would
advise those who go into lettuce growing
to any extent to try, if possible, and do
away with raised benches altogether and
adopt the solid beds. In the solid bed
the natural moisture of the soil is a
great advantage. The fact that in the
solid bed the roots of the plants are
cooler than the overhead temperature is
also very advantageous.

It is not always possible to arrange
the benches just as one would want them.
A good many small growers grow lettuce
as a sort of catch crop and most depend
on the benches for growing other crops
at other times. Where the Grand Rapids
variety can be sold it is undoubtedly the
best variety for bench purposes. But the
grower is often confronted with a de-
mand for head lettuce only and it is
often no easy matter to produce good
head lettuce in raised benches. The plants
do just as well up to a certain stage. It

is after "hearting" begins that leaf
burn usually makes its appearance and it
is very disappointing to a grower to se«
his nice lettuce getting brown or rot-
ting around the edges of the leaves just
when the crop is nearing the mature
stage and when the return for all his
labor and trouble was about to be real-
ized.

Of course, this is not always th? case
but, on the other hand, it cannot always
be avoided. The lowering of the tempera-
ture of the house often helps to check
the spread of the disease but if the crop
is far enough advanced to be fit for mar-
ket, the best and surest plan is to cut
and market the crop as soon as possible,
as it is a hard matter to entirely stop
the spread of the disease where once it
has got a good start.

If head lettuce has to be grown on
benches get as hardy a variety as possi-
ble (we find Deacon the least susceptible
to disease), keep the benches well stirred
and clean, the atmosphere of the liouse
sweet and use every possible means to
keep the growth firm until the dull, shorr,
days ar© over. W. S. Ckoydon.

Geo. O. Seairer, Rochester; Treas., C. L. Tales,
Rochester. The 2»th annual convenUon will be
held at West Baden, Ind., June, 1906.

M. S. Good, Hitt, Mo., has bought
itock with which to start a nursery busi-
ness.

Prof. J. L. Budd, for twenty-two
yesirs head of the Iowa State Agricul-
tural College, died at San Antonio, Tex.,
December 20. He was widely known
among nurserymen.

B. T. HOYT, the Minnesota nursery-
man, speaks in very high terms of the
strawberry-raspberry, commending it par-
ticularly to the attention of manufac-
turers of preserves.

S. W. Marshall & Son, nurserymen,
plant and seed dealers, Fresno, Cal., is-
sue a neat descriptive catalogue of sixty-
four pages without prices, this important
Information being supplied annually in
a separate pamphlet.

Peony growers report a very good de-
mand for the past season and prospects
for big business in 1905, with stock short
in many varieties. Foreign growers are
advancing their prices, pushing them in
some instances higher than the same sorts
can be bought for on this side.

Frank Hamilton, superintendent of
Bronx park, New York, haa resigned to
enter the Cottage Gardens Co., Queens,
N. Y., as manager of its landscape and
nursery sales department, having pur-
chased a substantial interest In the cor-
poration. Both the company' and Mr.
Hamilton are to be congratulated on the
alliance.

WESTERN NURSERYMEN MEET.

The Western Association of Wholesale
Nurserymen held its annual convention
at Kansas City, December 20 and 21,
with a large number of nurserymen from
Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and the south-
west in attendance. An amendment to
the constitution of the association was
offered by A. L. Brooke, of Topeka,
providing for the dropping of the word
"wholesale" from the title of the organ-
ization. It wouiu then be known sim-
ply as the Western Association of Nur-
serymen, and would not, as now, be re-
stricted to the large nurseries which do
a wholesale business. The amendment
will not be voted upon until next year's
meeting, but the sentiment ox the asso-
ciation seems to be favorable to its adop-
tion.

The annual election resulted in the
choice of these officers for the ensuing
year: President, Peter Youngers,
Greneva, Neb.: vice-president, A. Wil-
lis, Ottawa, Kan.; secretary and treas-
urer, E. J. Holman, Leavenworth, Kan.;

executive committee, F. H. Stannard,
Ottawa, E[an.; W. P. Stark, Louisiana,
Mo.; K. J. Bagby, New Haven, Mo.;
D. S. Lake, Shenandoah, la., and K P.
Bamardin, Parsons, Kan.

The association endorsed the work of
the Postal Progress League. W. P.
Stark discussed the increased production
and narrowing margin of profit in the
business. Other taUts were by B. J.
Bagby, E. S. Welch, J. A. Lopeman, E.
M. Sherman and J. W. Schutte. Prof.
G. G. Hedgecock, of the Missouri Botanic
Garden, delivered an address on diseases
of nursery stock.

There was also a meeting of retail
nurserymen December 20, presided' over
by J. W. Hill, of Des Moines.

ELMIRA.N.Y.

Holiday trade here has been very grat-
ifying, both to the grower and retailer,
trade being good, prices fair and a really
good demand. The various stores in the
city were tastefully decorated for the oc-
casion and attracted considerable atten-
tion. They showed an assortment of pot
plants and cut flowers that would have
done credit to a much larger city.

Among the growers there is a feeling
of satisfaction that this is one of their
best, both in volume of business done and
in regard to prices, which, while satis-
factory to themselves, were also consid-
ered fair by their customers. The supply
of roses was smaller than was anticipated,
owing to continued dull weather, which
also affected the output of carnations to
a considerable extent, but the quality of
both was excellent and the demand such
that many orders had to be refused. Vio-
lets also were a short crop and prices
ruled high. Of greens, such as smilax,
Asparagus plumosus and Sprengeri, there
was an abundance and a fair demand.
Lilies were scarce and in little demand,
while callas sold readily at $15 per hun-
dred. Bulbous stock, with the exception
of Paper Whites and Romans, was scarce,
the price for these being $3 to $4, with a
fair demand during the latter part of the
week.

In potted plants, such as azaleas, cyc-
lamens, primroses, etc., the demand was
much heavier than last year and the retail
stores did a big business in this line.

Mr. Durand, who succeeded the late
Grove P. Kawson, made an excellent show-
ing, his poinsettiaa and violets being ex-
ceptionally fine.

H. N. Hoffman had a very fine cut of
' carnations, which he disposed of at good
prices. Mr. LaFrance also did a big
business in carnations and potted plants.
Mr. Leyden, who started in business about
two months ago, reports a fine trade and
expresses himself as being satisfied with
his venture.

From the throngs which crowded Mr.
Leavitts ' store it was evident ,that he was
doing a rushing business. He is satisfied
that his trade is fifty per cent larger than
last year.

This being the first year of the United
States Cut Flower Co., it was watched by
the other growers and the stockholders
with a good deal of interest. Their cut of

RED BANK, N. J.

The greatest time the Monmouth Coun-
ty Horticultural Society ever had was at
its first annual dinner, held at the Sher-
idan Hotel, Ked Bank, December 22.
Much of the pleasure is to be attributed
to the toast-master, Patrick O'Mara. He
kept the company in a constant uproar
of laughter and the remarks of the vis-
itors were gratifying to the members as
well as to the toast-master. The different
speakers were the oflacers of the society
and Dr. W. S. Whitmore, John Yeomans,
N. Butterbach, the proprietor of the
Bed Bank Eegister, John Cook, and a
great many others. Charles H. Totty
responded for the Morris County Gar-
deners' and Florists' Club and John
Scott for the Tarrytown Horticultural
Society. B.

Calla, O. — An accident to the boilers
of the Templin Co. caused the loss of a
large part of the stock of Begonia Tem-
plinii and renders it impossible to dis-
tribute it to the trade this season, as had
been planned.

Toledo, O. — O. B. Wisner is successor
to A. F. Schramm. In addition to cut
flower trade he will do a large business
in bedding stock, etc.

Washington, D. C. — The trustees of
the Carnegie Institution, organized to
encourage scientific research, do not
make public the amount of the appro-
priations made to assist Luther Burbank
in carrying on his work in plant breed-
ing, but the sum is said to be very large.
It is payable in ten annual instalments.

PITTSBURG.

The Market

Christmas over, we find all comparing
notes and all report being well satisfied.
Most of the stores say it was the best
Christmas for several years. This was
especially true in the plant line, which
is increasing with each succeeding year.
Some say they sold more plants for
Christmas than they did at Easter. The
' * green goods ' ' men are not quite so well
satisfied; many loads of trees were
hauled to the river and toward the last
of the week the commission men sold
the grocers and fakirs trees as cheap as
$1 a dozen and holly 65 cents per case.
This of course affected the florists; in
fact, the stores now handle only what
holly they need for fine wreaths and spe-
cial orders for selected stock, for which
they can get a good price.

"Wholesale prices ran about as follows,
fancy stock being scarce: American
Beauties, $15 to $100 ; Maids and Brides,
%6 to $25; Liberties, $10 to $40; carna-
\kions, $3"to $12; violets, $2 to $3; no ad-
vance on other stock.

Eoman hyacinths were a glut, but as
that was about the only thing there can-
Dot be much complaint.

The street boys found someone loaded
with carnations, as Saturday night they
were offering them at two fbr a nickle,
very fair stock, and Bill O'Brien, the
only Irish flower fakir we have, had vio-
lets to sell at purchaser's own price.
There were still too many white and not
enough red carnations for Christmas.

Variofis Notes.

Florists' Club meets Tuesday, Janu-
ary 3, for nomination of officers and to
discuss the plants handled for the holi-
days.

There was considerable trouble with
the express companies, as goods were not
coming in as they should, especially stock
out of New York.

Bandolph & McClements report trade
as the best. They kept their six wagons
and bie van busy deliyering.

A. W. Smith says there was nothing
like it; cleaned up nicely without much
of the usual labor and worry.

Mrs. E. A. Williams is satisfied; it
was good enough for her, but she is still
too busy to talk.

Geddis & Blind Bros, say this is their

fied. Their south side store exceeded all
expectations.

Breitenstein & Flemm cleaned out
everything in the line of plants and
fancy goods and say the flower business
was better than ever.

Ernst Zieger, manager for C. T. Sie-
bert's Liberty Market stand, says trade
was very good, but he is still too tired
to find out how good.

E. C. Ludwig had about thirty men
and boys and kept them all on the jump.

G. & J. W. Ludwig are all smiles and
still wishing everyone a merry Christmas.

K. Faulk & Son say they got all that
was coming to them.

The wholesalers srem to be well satis-
fied. The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co.,

which is the oldest, say it was the best
in their experience, that although they
sold some stock cheap they cleaned up
well and will average up all right. J. B.
Murdoch, our new wholesale house,
handled quantities of carnations and vio-
lets. Ed McCallum, of the Florists' Ex-
change, reported good business.
And we all got rain, and we needed it.

♦♦DAMPINGOFF.'*

Although the nature of plant diseases
and the methods of combatting them
have been frequently brought before gar-
deners, it is to be feared that compara-
tively few individuals have practically
applied this knowledge. This indiffer-
ence is no doubt to a large extent due
to their seldom experiencing a serious
epidemic. Another reason for it is that
the books dealing with plant diseases are
not well known, while most are written
in scientific language, that is not easily
understood by the laity. There are few
gardeners whose plants have not at some
time or other suffered from fungus dis-
eases, but as long as the consequences
have not been serious they have escaped
attention, or been ascribed to accidental
causes.

One of the most frequent diseases oc-
curs in seedling plants of almost any
kind. The young plants, when still in
the seed-bed, blacken, decay and die off
in patches. The disease spreads rapidly
from bed to bed, but is often confined
to one frame or to one house. This is
caused by a parasitic fungus named
Pythium Debaryanum, Hesse, the minute
fipores of which are carried about in the
air, and are caught by the damp surface
of the seedling stem. There they germi-
nate, pushing a fine tube through the
soft and tender skin of the stem. This
tube quickly branches, forming a mass
of fine threads called "mycelium," or
spawn, which penetrate the cells of the
fieedling, absorbing nutriment and caus-
ing death of the young plant. Numerous
«pores are then produced which quickly
spread the disease. This is usually,
though somewhat incorrectly, called
■" damping-off " (it might be more cor-
rectly called "black stem") of seedlings,
and it Is ascribed to an excess of water.
Where the beds are kept for a time in a
•dry condition, the disease often wholly
disappears, because the spores require
moisture external to the seedlings to en-
able them to germinate. This disease is
consequently favored by too thick sow-
ing, which prevents light and air from
ireely reaching the soil. The disease is
therefore rarely met with in a bed with
' ' pricked - off " seedlings. — Gardeners '
Chronicle.

PACIFIC COAST.

Seattle, Wash. — The Brighton Seed
and Floral Co. will open a store January
3 at 215 Occidental avenue. They will
handle all kinds of seeds, plants, nursery
stock, cut flowers and florists' supplies,
doing both wholesale and retail business.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market

We are still a few days in advance of
Christmas and business up to date is
fair. Tomorrow and Saturday will tell
the tale as to whether this year is to be
up to or above the average. The prin-
cipal demand has been for green stuff
and other material used in store and
home decorations and the dealers who
make a specialty of this class of stock
have had little complaint. Eed berries
have been sold by the ton and huckle-
berry by the dray-load and the demand
continues unabated.

We have had several slight frosts this
week but not sufficient to curtail the
flower supply. The price of carnations
has been advanced somewhat, probably
about twenty-five per cent this month,
and roses in the same proportion. The
best Beauties are selling wholesale today
at $2.50 to $3 per dozen. Brides, Maids
and Testouts bring from 50 cents to $1
per dozen. Valley is plentiful at $5 per
hundred. Narcissi are a glut. A few
daffodils have made their appearance.
Poinsettias from Los Angeles are in evi-
dence everywhere and make a good show.

Various Notes.
The Cox Seed Co. has handled a
good many barrels of British Columbian
holly this season. Each contains twenty-
five pounds and it sells for $16.50 per
barrel. ^

The Whittlesey Floral Gardens, of Los
Angeles, have shipped a great many thou-
sand outdoor poinsettias to the stores
here during this week. The flowers ar-
rive in splendid condition and cost the
retailers about $10 per hundred.

THE JAPANESE INVASION.

It is surprising how the Japanese are
gradually gaining a foothold in the flor-
ist and nursery business in California.
This fact is being viewed with consider-
able alarm by the growers, as It is evi-
dent that the Japs are in the trade to
stay. The writer well remembers the
first Japanese to engage in this line of
trade, only a few years ago. He started
in with a few chrysanthemum cuttings
brought from Japan and in a few seasons
had worked up a profitable business; in
fact, he was the first to make the mum
popular as a garden flower in this local-
ity. In a few years he branched out into
other lines of Japanese stock and then

into carnation growing. Hia success was
noted by some of his countrymen and
now Japanese gardens and greenhouses
are to be seen all over the neighboring
country. One of the largest concerns
California is owned by a company of
Japanese and their equipment is second
to none. They employ from fifty to sev-
enty-five of their countrymen in various
capacities and actually hire white men
for the most responsible positions. They
engage immigrants from their own coun-
try for a few dollars a month, who stay
with them until they earn some money
and get a slight smattering of English

and the next thing they do is to rent a
piece of land and erect a small green-
house. They already handle, together
with the Chinese, fully seven-eighSis of
the chrysanthemum crop, both outdoor and
under glass, and they bid fair to cut a
wide swath in carnation and rose grow-
ing, both of which they are now actively
engaged in. Of course it is out of the
question for a white man to compete with
them, owing to their manner of living.

The Japanese are natural horticultur-
ists and have been content thtw far to
concern themselves with the growing of
flowers and plants, but should they in-

PHOENIX FUNGUS.

I enclose a piece of a palm leaf and
would like to know the nature of the
disease with which it is infested, tlie
cause and the remedy? E. F. G.

An examination of the specimen en-
closed with this query shows quite plain-
ly that the trouble in question is another
case of the phoenix fungus, a fungoid de-
velopment that has been noted several
times in these columns.

There is no real specific for this fun-
gus, from the fact that its growth takes
place within the tissue of the leaf, and
the wart-like protuberances that appear
on the surface are due to the fungus
pushing up its spore-bearing growths
through an enlarged pore of the leaf.

The fungus seems to be encouraged by
eool and damp treatment, and it is there-
fore thought best to keep the affected
plants in a slightly higher temperature
than usual, say 60 to 65 degrees, and not
to syringe in cold and cloudy weather,
also to ventilate as freely as the weather
will allow. In other words, to encourage
root action and general good health in
order to g^ow the plant out of the dis-
ease as much as possible, though very bad
eases seldom yield to treatment.

(Of Maceo.)

RED SPORT

Tbls new "Bread and Butter" commercial brilliant "Crane" Red Carnation, now in its fonrtb
year, bas tbe bardy constitution of General Maceo, with a stronger beavier growth, longer and stiSer
stem and a larger flower. Growing under the same conditions and in tbe same bouse with Flamingo
and Estelle it bas produced four times as many blooms as tbe former and twice as many blooms as
tbe latter. Tbe color is as good as Estelle and tbe bloom brings as much as does Estelle at its best.
Every flower is of a uniform brilliant red, perfectly double with an ideal calyx, in fact we never saw
a split one.

Bed Sport is perfectly bealtby. an easy variety to grow, an early and continuous bloomer,
throwing its heaviest cats around tbe Christmas holidays and during the Winter montbs when red is
in demand. Bed Sport will keep longer and travel farther than any other red carnation, and will
prove a bonanza to tbe grower wbo does a shipping business. If tbe scarcity of reds in tbe market
that now exists continues Bed Sport will pay better to tbe square foot of bench than any other
variety of any color to date. Every florist wbo has seen Bed Sport growing has placed an order
for rooted cuttings, which tells tbe tale. All our stock is sold up to January 25tb. Orders filled in
strict rotation from that date on. Price. 12 for 11.50, 25 for $2.50. 50 for 14.00 all post paid. 16.00 per 100,

therefore, are unable to supply the trade.

Since we have made the Templinii a distinctive

LITTLE ROCK, ARK.

Emil Bohnke instituted suit I>ecember
20 in the Circuit Court against J. W.
Vestal and Charles Vestal for $10,000
damages for injuries alleged to have
been sustained while at work in the
defendant's greenhouses in Baring Cross.
The plaintiff alleges that on November
11, 1904, he was employed by the de-
fendants as a gardener and in doing his
work was required to walk about the
greenhouses on walks provided for that
purpose; that the defendants negligently
placed under such walks, to convey steam
and hot water at high pressure, a pipe
that was defective and in bad condition ;
that the defendants failed to inspect the
pipe when put down and before covering
it with three feet of dirt. He alleges
that while at work his foot broke through
the top of the ground and he dropped to
his waist into a pool of hot water and
mud, which had gathered by reason of the
defective pipe.

The plaintiff alleges that he was se-
verely scalded, his injuries incapacitating
him from following his occupation, and
that he suffered great pain of body and
anguish of mind. He alleges that he
was damaged to the amount of $10,000
and asks judgment for that amount.

CLEVELAND.

Variofis Notes.

The Cliristmas of 1904 will be remem-
bered as one of the best ever. La.st
year was considered a record breaker
and we may sum up this year as being
its equal and in many cases better. A
fairly good supply of flowers was on
hand at the Cleveland Cut Flower Co.
and most orders were filled satisfactor-
ily, "^fr. Bate, of that firm, says their
shipping was very good and the only
shortage was in color, particularly red.
They handled a large supply of Beauties
from a local establishment, also a nice
lot of carnations. The home demand
was also good and Saturday night found
the place cleaned up in fine style. A
nice lot of poinsettias in pans and pots
was handled by this concern.

The J. M. Gasser Co.. wholesale end,
was extremely busy and it was almost
impos^sible to get a moment 's inter-
view with the efficient manager, Mr.
Darnell. This part of the business is
so well taken care of that it is increas-
ing constantly. A fine lot of Beauties,
teas, Chatenay, Gen. ifacArthur and
carnations, very fine mignonette, also or-
chids in variety, were on hand. A sat-
isfactory Christmas trade was done. At
the retail end Mr. Jones, Avho has charge,
was so busy it was entirely out of the
question to get a word from him.

Prices were the same as last year:

price; valley, $5 to $6; violets, $1.50 to
$2; cut poinsettias, $3 to $4.

Frank Smith, of Smith & Fetters, was
in the midst of the rush, having more
than he could attend to. They had an
exquisite display of seasonable stock and
the volume of business accomplished is
enormous. Mr. Smith says he has an
abundance of orders on hand for the
next two weeks to keep them quite busy.

Mr. Harrison, of Collins & Harrison,
arose from a sick bed to attend to busi-
ness. An extra nice lot of poinsettias,
azaleas, ardisias, cyclamens, araucarias,
etc., were very prettily decorated. The
store presented a beautiful appearance
and a rushing business was done. Beau-
ties are a si>ecialty here and great num-
bers were disposed of, as also good teas
and carnations in proportion. This being
the first Christmas on the avenue, they
have no comparison to make, but say
that lousiness has been beyond their ex-
pectations.

Mr. Wagner, of Erie street, reports
that this year is about equal to last,
with a greater call for pot plants. A
fine assortment of plants was on hand,
which sold at good prices.

Miss Eadie was very busy and reports
business equal to last year with a heavy
demand for pot stuff.

The Cleveland Floral Co., of Euclid
avenue, reports a good trade and is well
satisfied.

We regret to learn of the illness of
M. H. Harrison and trust he will soon
be able to attend to business regularly.
Overwork is the principal cause of the
breakdown.

Isaac Kennedy, of West Park, is
sending in some very fine Maids and
Brides. The flowers of the sport of
Bride are extra good.

Carl Hagen burger, pf West Mentor,
had some very fii^e poinsettias, both for
cutting and in pans. His pans of poin-
settias with Piersoni fern were very
striking and sold readily.

S. S. Skidelsky, of Philadelphia, was
a recent caller on the trade. He has
booked several orders for that good
white carnation, Fred Burki. He al-
ways has something good for the trade.

I LIKE the Eeview and would not be
without it. The only reason 1 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-

KANSAS QTY.

The Market

This has been the busiest Christmas
that this city has ever had. There was
a steady demand for cut flowers and
potted plants all week, int on Friday the
rush commenced and did not slacken up
until Sunday evening. On Saturday
prices took an upward turn. Everything
with a bloom was sold. There was an
unusual demand for made up pots and
pans filled with primroses, Asparagus
plumosus and Sprengeri. The supply of
holly was soon exhausted.

Variotis Notes.

The most beautiful window in the city
was that of Sam. Murray, Crowds
thronged the street to see it. He had the
finest specimen poinsettias, azaleas and
Gloire de Lorraine ever seen in this city.

W. L. Rock was a close secend in win-
dow display and his store was thronged
with buyers until a late hour Saturday
night.

The Alpha Floral Co. was forced to
employ four extra salesmen and even
then was unable to wait upon all who
came to buy.

A. Freudenthal has his new store on
Twelfth street tastefully decorated and
got his share of what was coming.

Advance orders for New Year's are
already being booked by some of the
leading florists here.

An effort is being made to organize
a florists' club here.

A. F. Barbe was swamped with busi-
ness the past week and reports the best
trade in years.

W. J. Barnes reports a rushing busi-
ness the past week and disposed of a
large stock.

Lawrence Schwager had a very taste-
fully decorated store and is thoroughly
satisfied with the week's business.

Ed. Ellsworth, of Geo. M. Kellogg 's,
reports an immense wholesale business
last week, but with an increased force
easily got rid of all his stock.

F. A. Vandervoort, representing C. J,
Speelman & Sons, of Holland, was a vis-
itor here last week. Narcissus.

Superior Boilers Are Good Boilers

Read what our cnstomen ny about them:

South Bend, Ind, April 4. 1904.
"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 Super-
ior Boiler." Yours truly. Tekanob & Rkttio.

COPYRIQHT, 1904, BY FLORISTS' PUBLISHING CO.

The Various Stocks.

In comparing the desirability of the
different stocks which could be made
available, we have used the common dog
rose or brier (Bosa canina), Eosa multi-
flora Japonica and De la Grifferae, Rosa
Banksia and Manetti. In regard to re-
sults, there is such a vast superiority in
the use of the Manetti that comparisons
are of value only as a matter of inter-
esting history.

The brier, the most popular stock used
in the British Isles for the production
of exhibition blooms, has already been
mentioned.

Faults of Multiflora.

Multiflora has never proved satisfac-
tory, never in fact being equal on the
whole to own-root plants. While it is
undoubtedly a vigorous grower, it does
not seem to have the property of being
able to transmit this quality to its
scion and, moreover, we have never
been able to produce a bloom from a
multiflora graft that wa-s equal in color
to one from an own-root plant. But be-
yond all these objections, it seems to
be extremely susceptible to the club-
root caused by eel worms or nematodes,
and this fact alone ought to make its
use objectionable, for most rose growers
of even limited experience know that
it is only too easy to get club-root on

etti has been a failure with roses of the
Perle des Jardins type — we gave it a
trial, using the variety Sunrise, planted
in a solid bed. For the first four
months they absolutely refused to move,
merely keeping alive; then suddenly
they began to pick up and show signs
of increased activity. Suspecting what
might be the cause of this new lease of
life which the plants had taken, several
of them were dug up and, sure enough,
our judgment was correct: they had be-
gun to send out own-roots from the
callus at the union of stock and scion,
while the stocks themselves had made
practically Jio roots since the day they
were put in.

Banksia for the Yellow Class.

The Banksia rose ought theoretically
to be the ideal stock, as it is practically
evergreen. This surely ought to suit
our friends who rave about the Man-
etti not being the proper stock to use
because it is not evergreen. However,
it is not evergreen stocks we are look-
ing for, but evergreen roses, on "any
old" stock, so long as we get the
blooms.

But the Banksia has proved valuable
in our experience only in the case of
the yellow class. As before mentioned,
the Marechal Niel did fairly well on
it. Again, as far back as 1889, the
Waban Conservatories had a very fine

Manetti the Successful Stock.

Finally we come to the Manetti and
we can truly say that up to date this
has proved itself to be the thing for
nearly all roses grown under glass.
That it has not proved itself better
than the own roots with every variety
we must all admit, and also even that
in some exceptional localities it has
proven a failure, but I think it will be
found that where this is so the reason
lies in the soil. It is generally con-
ceded that the Manetti rose thrives in
light to medium coarse gravelly loam,
and is not seen at its very best in an
exceptionally heavy, fine-grained, sticky
or tenacious soil. The Manetti is a
comparatively shallow fibrous-rooting
rose. It has a voracious appetite and
will in most cases stand considerably
more feeding than roses on their own
roots.

But, more than all this, the Manetti
seems to be absolutely free from the
attack of eel worms. This point alone
ought to make it very valuable to those
who are troubled with this pest^ because
roses grafted on the Manetti are prac-
tically insured against an attack of
club-root. We do not know why this
is so, and of course could not state
positively that under certain conditions
it would remain free from the dreaded
nematodes, but we do know that up to
the present time it has done so.

An objection which has been made
against the use of roses grafted on the
Manetti is the fact that any check
during the late fall is liable to put the
plants to sleep for the winter, but we
all know that own-root roses are sub-
ject to the same defect if given half a
chance. So, as it is the growers' busi-
ness to see that they do not get a
check, it does seem as though such a
lame excuse as this ought not to fright-
en the wide-awake rosarian.

A point in favor of using the Man-
etti is found in the case of roses which

own-root plants, without going to the
trouble of grafting to get it.

Experience With De la Grifferae.

De Ta Grifferae has been tried with a
number of varieties. It is a vigorous
stock and makes a perfect union, the
finest, in fact, of any stock which we
have ever tried, but still it produces a
very inferior plant. Thinking perhaps
that it might prove the thing for the
yellow class — as, by the way, the Man-

house of Perle des Jardins on this
stock and about that time Mr. Peter
Boll, of Maiden, had remarkable suc-

our market does not take kindly to the
yellow sorts, we have not done any-
thing further in the way of experiment-
ing with this stock, but if anyone who
is growing some of the Perle class is
not satisfied with it on its own roots,
I would advise him strongly to try the
Banksia rose^as a stock for grafting.

are difficult to propagate on their own
roots. Very often growers who have
failed almost completely to propagate
^^rose have suoeeodod^ readily in gn
ing it on the Manetti. As a specific
example, I recall seeing growers who
could find no advantage in grafting
American Beauty other than the fact
that, having failed to get up a stock
of plants on their own roots, they had
succeeded in securing a fine lot on the
Manetti.

be a general improvement in all grades
of the cut, and particularly in the me-
dium and smaller grades. This is espe-
cially noticeable in the increased stiff-
ness of the stems, while with some
kinds there will be darker foliage and
better-colored bl6oms. "With Brides
and Maids the highest quality is
reached during the second year and
rarely continues after the fourth.

As to quantity, figures are often mis-
ijfeading because numbers depend to
such an extent on the method of dis-
budding; but, taking for example the
system followed by growers who cater
to the very critical markets of our
larger cities, a house of own-root Brides
or Maids that would average fifty flow-
ers to the plant would be exceptional,
but a house of grafted plants with an
average of fifty would be only a good
house and an exceptional one would go
as high as seventy-five. These propor-
tional figures will hold good up to the
end of the third year, although the
actual average per plant will generally
fall off somewhat after the second vpt.

It seems to be the general opinion,
among those who have never grown
grafted stock, that the superiority over
own-root is chiefly during the early
autumn months. In order to dispel any
such notion, I shall give the figures of
the cut by months from a house of own-
root roses, and also from the same

Present Day Varieties,

We are growing Mrs. J. P. Morgan
and Mrs. Oliver Ames on the Manetti,
and have had some plants of Morgan
in a solid bed as long as nine years
with no apparent deterioration in the
quality of the flowers, although after
the fourth or fifth year there was a de-
crease in the quantity.

There has been some complaint of
these varieties not doing well on this
stock, a large percentage dying off,
sometimes even when the plants are
in their second year. While we have
had some experience with this trouble,
it has never bothered us to an alarming
extent and we consider that the graft-
ed plants are enough better to more
than compensate for any slight loss.
The cause of the defect seems to be
that Morgan unites rather poorly with
the stock and any poorly grafted plant,
whether of Morgan or any other vari-
ety, is liable to canker at the union.
The remedy would seem to be to use
special care in grafting and to have the
stock and scion very nearly the same
size, so that the union will be prac-
tically perfect. We have tried Morgan
on both De la Grifferae and the Bank-
sia, but with unsatisfactory results.

Golden Gate, Ivory, Kaiserin Augus-
ta Victoria and Souvenir du President
Camot are all grafted, but the differ-
ence between them and own-root plants
is not so marked as with some other
varieties. Still the many advantages
possessed by grafts, rapidity of growth,
freedom from club-root, and general
adaptability to our soil, are worth more
than the extra cost of grafting.

Liberty is so much better with us
grafted that there is really no com-
parison. Yet, on the other hand, I
have seen localities where the exact
reverse was true; but this merely bears
out the statement previously made that
in deciding the question of grafted ver-
sus own-root plants each grower must
be a law unto himself.

American Beauty is grown on its
own roots. We have experimented with
grafted plants and at the present time
have a bed of Beauties on the Manetti,
but as we have not yet seen any decid-
ed advantage in favor of either, and
as this variety is such a vigorous grow-
er on its own roots, we have not seen
fit to declare our preference for grafts.
There is one advantage, however, that
the grafts have which may prove of
considerable value. In starting up
own-root plants after they have been
dried off they are frequently subject to
an attack of yellows, American Beauty
being especially susceptible. Grafted
Brides and Maids are very much less
likely to be troubled with the yellows
when grafted, and it will in all prob-
ability be found that, by putting Beau-
ties on the Manetti, they can be grown
successfully two or three years in the
same soil with very little risk.

Bride and Bridesmaid are all grafted,
and indeed since 1897 there bas not
been an own-root plant of these on our
place.

marks on the quality and quantity of
product. In regftrd to quality it can be
said that with most varieties there will

house when planted with grafts. This
is not a special case but only one of
many which could be quoted to support
our contention in favor of the Manetti.
While these figures do not, of course,
take into consideration the quality of
the flowers, still, assuming that the
grades are at least equal, and I believe
it is generally admitted that they are,
they present evidence which ought to,
satisfy the most skeptical.

This is an interesting record for
several reasons. It shows the same
bench space to have produced practic-
ally forty per cent more flowers on graft-
ed than on own-root plants, an increase
calculated to command the considera-
tion of even the most successful grow-
ers of own-root stock; and it shows the
increase to be well distributed through
the season, the month of December, for
instance, showing an increased cut of
nearly fifty per cent as compared with
the house of own-root plants.

A DECORATOR'S OUTHT.

Since decorations in flowers, plants and
foliage must be done within a few hours
of the time for some important social

A Unique Bouquet.

event, it behooves the decorator to con-
sider not only his own convenience and

dispatch, but the comfort of the patron
also. By the time you arrive at the house
to decorate stairways, mantels, wood-
work, chandeliers, curtains and tables,
the sweeping and dusting are all done.
Before long disorder again prevails. You
have moved in a step ladder and work
table, displaced the furniture and scat-
tered boxes and papers, smilax cases and
plants, to the dismay of the hos-
sss. If you do this unnecessarily, scarce-
ly any housewife is too courteous not
to remark about the litter and the extra
work it will take to clear up after the
decorator.

To avoid all this, provide yourself with
from two to six plain coarse bed sheets,
such as can be had at about 50 or 60
cents apiece. Let them be sent with the
load of palms, and before the plants or
boxes are set on an oiled floor or rug,
spread out a sheet to protect the same
from marks and scratches. Set another
under boxes and one under your work
table and under the places where you are
spreading out your smilax and where
many leaves are likely to be dropped.
Throw all your waste stems and clippings
on one of these sheets, and with a little
thought and care you can fold them, cor-
ners into center and leave scarcely a
leaf to be brushed from the polished
floor or rug when you have completed
your work.

The sheets can also be used for screen-
ing off the show window in the store dur-
ing the time when you are arranging an
exhibit.

Store of Seekins & Le Borious, Duluth, Minn., during Christmas.

In the way of tools, have a pair of
good, strong shears that will cut wire,
picks, stems, etc., also ribbon scissors,
which you allow to be used for nothing
else but chiffon, tulle, cord, ribbon and
other fabrics. Then you will need a tack
hammer and some double pointed tacks,
and once in a while a screw eye. Use
tacks sparingly. It is scarcely ever nec-
essary to drive one on the face of wood-
work; instead set them on the top or
sides of the moulding. If the top is
too far away to attach a garland or spray
of green, drive a tack on top and run a
wire of the length needed, rather than
deface the woodwork. Thought about
these things may mean a little more
stretching and climbing, but it is much
T)etter for your reputation as a careful
worker.

Include in the outfit a piper of com-
mon pins for fastening light garlands of
green or small clusters of flowers to cur-
tain, table clclhs, draperies, etc. Have
a small coil of No. 36 wire, also one of
No. 24. Sometimes you have use for
hemp twine.

Among the first things called for will
be a screen to hide a company of musi-
cians. Be prepared for this with a few
rattan screens obtained from some flor-
ists' supply house. Cover them with wild
smilax or set a few tall palms in front
of them. These are also vseful for clos-
ing the entrance to a «.'Lairway, dining-
room, or shutting off an unsightly view.
They may even serve to good advantage
for a background for a reception or wed-
ding partv.

When flowers must be set aside while
greens and plants are being arranged,
have some -flbei^ vases' at hand, ao

they mav be in water and appear at their
best when needed. Set the flowers in
t;hes? vases in some cool, retired corner,
5fLere they cannot be brushed against and

where no draught of air can gtrike them.

For store use, as well as in decorative
work, a strong cravenette apron is found
to be of much service. Being waterproof
is one of its virtues. Add to its con-
venience by stitching on a deep pocket,
which will hold shears, hammer and tacks,
and you can climb a ladder with your
hands full of your decorative material and
still have your tools at hand. Stitch off
a narrow section of one side of the pocket
for the tack hammer and it can be carried
head up, ready.

Have a nobby leather bag or port-
folio to carry the outfit 5n. There should
also be room in this case for a pocket
tape measure. The latter is more useful
when taking the order and making the
estimate on the price of a decoration.

It will be found easier to get up a
satisfactory decorative plan after seeing
the house, hall or church where it will
be placed. There you can see colors of
walls and their height, the amount of
space available, the location of windows,
stairways, doorways, the character of
permanent decorations, such as frescoing,
wood carving, draperies, etc.. as well as
make suggestions as to what other places
should be decorated.

In any house where any pretentions are
made to florists' decorations, for a wed-
ding, for example, there are three places
which should always receive some noti^^-
able treatment. The first is some point
opposite the entrance, where the guest's
eye will rest first. The second is the place
where the ceremony or reception takes
place, and the third is the dining-room.
Secure some consideration for these three
places before suggesting any others. Then
whatever subordinate feaTures are intro-
duced should be made connectedly, both
in color and form, with the three princi-
pal points.

But to return to the outfit question.

Wire or basket center-pieces, round and
oblong, handle baskets of all sizes and
prices, some of which have round bot-
toms without stands, are nowadays a nec-
essary part of a florist's equipment. Per-
haps there is no one receptacle for flowers
for table decoration which is as deserved-
ly popular as a prettily filled basket.

Another favorite decorative feature is
a galvanized mantel pan. Have several
of them of various sizes. Paint front
and two ends black or very dark olive
green. Fill with sphagnum moss, snugly
and stem clusters of wood ferns and make
as much like plants growing as your skill
will allow. These same pans may be
filled over and over again with any kind
of flowers, attractive foliage, or banked
full of plants.

Upon having inquiries for flowers for a
table, ask whether they are for a dinner,
luncheon, reception or banquet table;
then get the size and shape of the table.
A dinner or luncheon table may be round,
square or long, and should be treated ac-
cordingly, as to shape of center-piece. A
banquet table is usually a long one or a
series of long ones. A reception table is
round or square, or nearly so, and will
take a high center-piece. The others
should be low.

Do as much of the work for decorative
jobs at the store as possible. Fill baskets
and mantel pans with the sphagnum and
stem the flowers. Often these pieces
may be completed at the store. Also do
all counting, sorting and trimming be-
fore starting.

It is a good practice to furnish all
your own equipiypnt, p.Trept a wnrTr tahla
and step ladder. These can be had at any
residence with little trouble. The less
waiting upon you require at such busy
times, the better will your skill be ac-
I counted. Gertrude Blair.

JANUABX 5, 1905.

A STORE AND A NOVELTY.

The illustration on page 355 shows
the store of Seeking & LeBorious, at
Duluth, as it appeared at Christmas.
They did a fine business and increased
their sales about fifty-five per cent as
compared with the previous year. Red
of course had the call. Poinsettias sold
well. Eed carnations were very scarce
but red roses about met the demand.
The way plants sold made one think of
Easter.

One curious order they had was to
ma^e a "bouquet" of twenty-five one-
dollar bills for a customer for delivery
Christmas morning. It was certainly a
novelty and they placed the "bouquet"
among the flowers in one of their win-
dows, where it attracted much attention,
getting them a good write-up in one of
the daily papers.

THE GOOD OLD YEAR.

"Th^ king is dead; long live the
king." The good old year is gone and
our thoughts are directed toward the
young year just at hand, but it is worth
while to pause to review the work of
1904 and gather from it such lessons as
we may for application to the tasks
which lie before us.

For those of the cut flower trade, par-
ticularly in the greart cities, 1904 was
ushered in with no fair augury. In
New York the stock market, that barom-
eter of prosperity for the leading retail
florists and hence for the wholesalers and
producers, was flat on its back with a

which the shipping demand was the sole
salvation of an over-loaded market. Dur-
ing the first few months of the year the
flower business throughout the country
felt the lassitude of the business depres-
sion general in other lines but the smaller
the town and the farther west one went
the less apparent was the check to re-
tail demand.

The summer is always quiet as to cut
flowers and in the autumn trade was
slow in awakening but sudden frosts
brought prosperity to the man with the
house of early mums. Then came a
quiet period up to the fall flower shows,
since which the retail cut flower trade
has struck its old gait. The quadren-
nial national election had less deterrent
effect than usual this time.

The demand for cut flowers has shown
a constantly widening market for high
grade stock and a constantly narrowing
market for the low grades, with grow-
ers in all the large centers keeping pace
with the trend here indicated.

As to the holidays, Easter saw a very
large business in practically all parts of
the country, exceeding previous records
and in the big cities affording a wel-
come oasis in a somewhat dry season.
The lilies brought fair prices and all
other cut flowers made good money, with
good crops general. The call for flow-
ering plants was large but there was no
shortage. Decoration day was more im-
portant in a florist's view point than
heretofore and it may be noted that this
is a repetition of the experience of re-
cent years. For memorial purposes quan-

severe attack of indigestion. The symp-
toms pointed to the necessity for a
major surgical operation but this, hap-
pily for the patient and the many sor-
rowing friends, was averted and by
autumn the ' * spenders ' ' were flush again.
In Chicago the Iroquois theater disaster
had put a quietus on all social activity
just as 1903 went out and the effects of
the blew- tieahr the Tetairflo we r" "business
were apparent for many months, during

tity is more important than quality but
the aggregate of sales is very large.
Just after Decoration day came a tre-
mendous crop of peonies, which sold
cheaply. Thanksgiving is not a day
which looms large on the florists' cal-
endar but it marked the real awakening
of the fall business and was generally
agtisfaftory, Christmaa itL 4«e— fresh-fn
mind to need much comment. The ag-
gregate of sales was never greater but

seldom were holiday demands more fully
met. There was a weak market for
white. Plants sold out clean if well
grown. The tendency was to use little
ribbon but many pot covers. Baskets
and hampers of growing plants were
great sellers. Azaleas did splendidly.
This is a day for select stock and it
brought fine prices.

With the general plantsmen the spring
was a good one. The call for geraniums
was never greater and everything in flow-
er by the end of May was sold. In
some places bedding stock sold up to
the end of June. Vincas, ivies and
echeveria were in short supply. Bedding
roses never sold better and stocks of
leading varieties were cleaned up early.
Cannas started in pots did not go around.
More pansy plants were wanted. Many
peonies were planted in the spring and
a great many more in the fall.

The rooted cutting specialists found
a big sale for carnations but no great
call for roses, nor did young rose plants
in pots sell as in 1903, possibly due to
the growing tendency toward carrying
stock two or more years. Chrysanthe-
mum cuttings never sold better. Field-
grown carnation plants did not clean
up; in the middle west many thousands
were left to freeze up.

The dealers in novelties had a good
year. In new roses the offerings were
limited and sales not phenomenal but
an even larger number of new carnations
than usual was offered and all have
found buyers in such quantities as to
hold out incentive for continued activ-
ity on the part of the growers. The grow-
ing popularity of the carnation affords
every incentive to grow the improved
sorts.

Greehouse builders have some interest-
ing comparisons to make between the
construction of new glass in 1904 and
in 1903. Almost without exception they
♦report a small falling off, but a further
examination shows that the decrease
from the usual amount of building
in the big cut flower centers, par-
ticularly in Cook county, Illinois, was
considerably more than the aggr^rate
falling off in the whole country, so that,
while the big cut flower growers did less
building than usual, the general florists
throughout the country built more than
usual.

A notable and perhaps the most impor-
tant feature of the year was the great
awakening of public interest in things
floricultural. The fall flower shows
were unusually successful and the general
publications of all classes are giving
more space than ever before to the af-
fairs of our craft and to gardening
topics. This should receive every en-
couragement at our hands and we should
see to it that whenever possible the press
is supplied with sane matter pertaining
to our trade and our wares, for the pow-
er of the press as a developer of any
industry can scarce be over estimated.

MUM MISS WINNIE TERRY.

The notes last week regarding Miss
Winnie Terry were a little bit mislead-
ing in speaking of this as one of the
Wells set for 1904. While Mr. Wells
helped distribute the stock, the vari-
ety was raised in England by Wm. Bry-
ant and should not be confused with the
Australian-raised Wells-Packett set
which have been uniformly— good — ver

It is undoubtedly climatic conditions
that are responsible for the fact that

many varieties that are fine when
grown in England are useless here. I
have noticed this for years in import-
ing and when one buys a variety solely
on account of its European record he is
apt to be disappointed.

Such in their day were Edith Tabor
and Vicar of Leatherhead, both grand
yellows over there. Elsie Fulton, a
white, imported two years ago, is a
magnificent thing in England, yet here
it shows a big eye and not one bloom in
ten is presentable. Mrs. J. Dunn im-
ported this year has been called a white
F. S. Vallis this fall in English period-
icals. This would make it one of the
largest varieties grown, yet Dunn with
us, while neat and pretty, is far too
small for our exhibition standard. True,
it does not show an eye, which is the
usual fault, but why this difference in
size? The only thing to do, apparently,
is to keep on importing and any kind
that will not stand our "strenuous life"

Another grower near Chicago writes
that he uses a southern Illinois coal
which costs him $2.55 a ton f. o. b. Chi-
cago and it took thirty-two pounds for
each square foot of glass to carry him
through the past season, carrying the

with the quantities and qualities of coal
required. Much valuable information

from, the mines in West Virginia to the
florists north of Chicago, including seiv-
eral of the largest cut flower and vege-
table growers. Last season this firm
sold Peter Eeinberg 7,000 tons of this
coal. Florists differ as greatly on the
question of the best fuel as they do on
the subject of the best white carnation,
but the United States Government has
adopted this grade of Pocahontas coal as
the standard for grading all steam fuel.
It is the standard fuel for the warships
of the United States Navy.

When you are in the market for coal
address the * nearest office of Castner,
Curran & Bullitt for prices on Pocahon-
tas and for literature on its heating
value. Mention the Review when you
write.

CROTONS.

Please give the right treatment for
crotons. I bought some nice small plants
last spring and they did nicely until of
late, when many of them have died. I
have kept them in pots all summer, re-
potted them this fall in good soil, such
as I use for begonias — black loam, sand
and a little manure. Is this all right or
too light f Do they require more heat
than begonias f They stand on the bench"
where they do well. I*. M. B.

These crotons should be in a tempera-
ture of not less than 66 degrees and
should get plenty of water if the drain-
age is good. It is a safer plan to defer
potting crotons till the spring growth
commences. They should be placed on a
bench with full exposure to the sun.

PROPAGATING MUMS.

Will chrysanthemum cuttings taken
from the stumjw already rooted give as
good a flower as if rooted in sandt

W. W.

There is no earthly reason why they
should not give just as good flowers as
though they had been rooted in sand.
They will, of course, be very early and
will need topping several times before
planting time but this, if properly donp.
does not detract any from the value of
the plant, and the tops can he rooted
and used to increase the stock. From
March onward is as early as propagating
need be done for commercial use. B. B.

QUANTITY OF COAL.

There seems to be an even greater
variation than was thought in the num-
ber of pounds of coal required to heat
a given area of glass. Of course,_age_
^nd exposure of 'Irouser'cbiinls^ as well
as quality of coal.

ANOTHER COAL MAN.
In this issue of the Review we begin
the publication of the advertisement of
another coal dealer, the firm, Castner,
Curran & Bullitt, being one of the lead-
ers in its field, with offices at New York,
Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, Cincin-
nati and other cities. Theirs is Poca-
hontas smokeless coal and they already
do a large business with those in our
trade, shipping 600 to 1,000 cars a year

FORCING LONGIFLORUMS.

On December 8, W. & N. gave their
experience in forcing of Japan longi-
florum bulbs. To start, I am not claim-
ing to be an expert or an authority on
forcing bulbs, but in the past I claim to
have grown as fine longiflorums as I
have ever seen. A few years ago I had
the very same trouble as W. & N. At
Christmas I found my lilies had not
started one iota, so I tried this experi-
ment. I brought them in the full light
and heat, 50 degrees at night and 65
degrees in the day to start and increased
the heat a trifle. At Easter they were

beautiful, four to t*n blooms and many
over three feet high. Last season some
of them were a little late on account cf
Easter being a little early or running my
house a little cool. This season I potted
my lilies and brought them in the full
light and heat about November 1 and
they are just coming through the ground
nicely and pots well filled with roots.
By running at about the same tempera-

ture as carnations they will come in
full swing about April 15 to 20. Now
this is my experience. I would not dare
to say for everyone to follow it, but I
make a success in this way and would
advise anyone getting in the same fix as
W. &. N. to give them a trial and I am
safe in saying they will not be in the
back row at Easter regarding blooms.

SEASONABLE HINTS.

As the season advances and the busbes
become stronger they will require iv;ore
nourishment to mature the crops and
this should be given to them just as
soon as it is required.

During the busy season of propagating
potting, etc., when so many crops are
calling for attention, the rose !)enches,
if they continue to do fair work, are
frequently neglected in the matter of
food and it is only after a crop show-
fligns of deterioration that the nourish-
ment is given. Of course this is too late
to do any good to that particular croi)
and it must be remembered that once
starve a rose and it takes a long time to
regain its vitality and if the food is

Siven to the plant in large or strong
oees while in this exhausted condition
it is almost certain to give them dyspep-
sia or sour stomach. To provide against
tne plant suffering from want of food
a light, rich mulch should be given and
when the weather is bright this can be
supplemented with liquid feeding.

If plants have been forced by raising
the temperature previous to the holiday
season, it is best and safest to lower this
gradually until the normal is again
reached ; any sudden drop in temperature
is bound to check the growth and cause
trouble.

Keep the shoots tied up and the bench
clear of dead and decaying leaves, for
without cleanliness and fresh air it is
impossible to produce good roses.

After protracted dull weather, when
it is next to impossible to use the syr-
inge with freedom, spider will be apt to
increase and should be looked after care-
fully. Where there are any hot corners,
there the spider is sure to lurk and if.
not destroj'ed will soon give trouble. A
judicious use of the syringe will repay

at this season. _____^^ —

— By -thrs^tmeTTiere should be no mil-
dew; ii there is any, it is the result of
carelessness or neglect as any ordinary
precaution will keep the house.s clear of
this pest at this season when there is a
command of heat.

Fumigating once a week will under or-
dinary conditions keep green fly in check
and if some red pepper is burned in the
houses once a week there will be little
trouble from thrips.

Care in watering, keeping an even tem-
perature and judiciousness in ventilating
will tide us over the short days and keep
the stock from losing vitality till the
sun gets higher and gives them more
activity both in root and foliage.

BiBES.

MARECHAL NIEL.

Please tell me what to do with a
large Marechal Niel rose I have in my
greenhouse. It is in the ground and
about ten feet high. It does not bloom
enough to pay me for the room it occu-
pies. It was cut back to six feet last
spring and did fairly well. It gave one
crop last summer and since then has
been at a standstill and scarcely exists.
I have given it wood ashes and a little
lime, also liquid manure at different
times. Would be glad for any informa-
tion. L. M. B.

When Marechal Niel roses get too old
they sometimes take a fit like this, pos-
sibly due to exhaustion of the soil, or the
roots may have reached into some unsuit-
able food, and then they had better be
thrown out.

If you still wish to retain the plant
it would be advisable to dig around it
and remove the old soil, give it a root
pruning and fill in with a good com-
post. RiBES.

SPIDER ON PLANTS.

I send you some leaves from Ameri-
can Beauty and wish your expert would
tell me through the Revikw what is the
matter with tliem. They have been grow-
ing in 6-inch pots since the first of
October and did finely up to the first
of December, since which time they seem
to have stood still and lost their leaves.
I watered them with liquid_ manure_uo
to_De££nxber-i-aB4-haveThem Tn^ house
with a temperature of 54 to 60 degrees
at night and from 60 to 75 degrees in
the day time, but they do not need any
more water, as we do not get any more
sun and they do not dry out. Please let
me know how to handle them so that I
get from four to six roses on them each

before Easter. I would like to sell them
in pots at Easter. P. J. K.

These Beauties are suffering from a
very bad dose of red spider. Look care-
fully on the under sides of the leaves and
you will find them covered with a very
small and lively mite and the whole sur-
face covered with a fine web. To rem-
edy this syringe the under sides of the
leaves every day and use sufficient force
to dislodge the spider and break up the
web.

Until you get them back to health do
not use liquid or any other food, as this
will aggravate the trouble. Bibbs.

TROUBLE WITH SOIL.

Will you please examine this rose foli-
age and let me know what is the matter
with it? It is two months that I have
been with this plant. The man who was
florist before I took hold of it, so the
owner of the plant says, used lime by
the wholesale and the soil shows it. I
have tried all ray remedies but cannot
stop the foliage from burning and leaves
falling. The soil the other florist used
was black gumbo and the proprietor
says he was making the soil for months.
My houses run 55 to GO degrees nights,
65 to 70 degrees days, with plenty of
air. The houses were full of red spider
and mildew when I took them, but have
conquered that, but cannot stop this
burning and the leaves falling.

The benches were water soaked when
I took the plant. All the roses out of
benches in pots do well and I set out
some Perles since I came here out of
the common soil and they are doing
well. J. H. W.

From the appearance of these leaves
it seems to me that there must be some-
thing wrong with the drainage. Gumbo
soil, which I have tested several times,
I do not consider at all fit to grow roses
in, and especially if overdosed with lime.
The treatment you are giving them is
all right and if the soil and drainage
were good they ought to respond. I
should advise running them rather on
the dry side for some time and refrain
from feeding.

You have not had much time yet,
during the most torpid ])eriod, to know
if your treatment is to be effective, so I
would continue it until the spring
growth commences, when without doubt
you will have better results. Avoid if
possible using gumbo soil in the future.

CARNATION NOTES.-EAST.

Early Propagation.

While it is somewhat early to begin
propagation in earnest, it is none too
soon to start the slower growing sorts,
for with this class, unless good sized
plants can be had at housing time, the
returns come too late to be profitable.

Because large plants are needed when
housed, it does not follow that the young
stock must be so when planted out. The
idea of early propagation is nj)t-SO muel
to- secure large plants as it is to pro-
vide a period of partial rest. Letting
the rooted cuttings into soil early and
gradually working them into a lower
temperature will produce a natural, slow,
sturdy growth and of course to follow
this plan it will be necessary to pro-
vide a place separate from the blooming
plants, also to use soil free from manure

ideal thing for this purpose as it con-

handled in this manner makes rapid
strides as the weather warms up and
when planted in fertilized soil on the
benches or in the field takes hold at once.

Another advantage of a slow growth
is that we obtain a short-jointed plant,
the proper foundation of a shapely
habit. .

From recent inquiries I feel con-
strained to caution growers against too
strong forcing or heavy feeding. The
only possible result wUl be sick plants,
producing if at all only small, sleepy
blooms with weak stem. Then to pro-
pagate from such plants is not in the
line of improvement.

Next week I hope to give news of a
new disease which is appearing in this
section on Lawson. Geo. S. Osborn.

A HALSTEAD SEEDLING.

Dr. A. S. Halstead, of the St. Clair
Floral Co., Belleville, 111., has a seedling
carnation of which he thinks highly and
which he proposes to exhibit at the Car-
nation Society's convention in Chicago
this month. It is snow white, a seedling
of Lizzie McGowan and Alaska. It
blooms continuously and never bursts the
calyx. The flower is an average of three
inches in, diameter and borne on stems
eighteen to twenty inches long. Two
days before Christmas a bench of it
looked like a bank of snow and these
were late planted, being benched the mid-
dle of October. The accompanying il-
lustration shows the character of the
bloom. Dr. Halstead says the variety is
as easily propagated as its pollen par-
ent, McGowan.

CUCUMBERS.

What is the best cucumber for forc-
ing? "When should the seed be started
to have them in crop by April It What
is the culture? J. H. T.

The best variety to grow is White
Spine. By sowing at once you may be
able to get cucumbers fit for use by April
1, but you will not be able to have your
plants in full bearing by that time.
Plant two or three seeds in^a 2-inch potJa„
-a'itgbt,free"and~flnely sifted soil. Place
in a good bottom heat and give no more
water than is necessary to keep the soil
moist. If the soil is kept wet the seeds
will be sure to rot. After the seedlings
are up select the strongest plant in each
pot and pull the others out. Gradually
expose to air and light and when the
plants have attained suflScient size to fill
the pots with roots, move up into 4-inch

SecdUng No. 10, St. Clair Floral Co., BeUeville, IIL

pots. When they have used up the soil
in the 4-inch pots they should be planted
in the benches.

Don't fill the benches all at once, but
make a hill of a few shovelfulls of soil
and set them in this ; later, when the roots
appear on the outside of the hills, more
soil can be added. Planting thus in hills
often averts a good deal of trouble from
stem rot, which is caused by the soil
around the necks of the plants getting
too wet. An open, fibrous soil is best
for cucumbers with about one-quarter of
well rotted manure added.

A night temperature of not less than
65 degrees, with a rise by day of 15 to
20 degrees is required. Atmospheric
moisture is necessary to the health of the
plants and frequent syringing must be
given to keep the plants free from in-
sects. Pollination of the flowers is nec-
essary to insure a crop, regarding which
please see article in Florists' Review,
issue of December 8. If the plants are
set about three feet apart it will give
ample space for the lateral or side shoots,
which must be depended on to produce the
fruit. When they have covered the space
allotted to them they should be stopped
to prevent crowding and the points of
the main shoots should be pinched out
when they reach the top of the trellis.

The Market

plentiful enough to fill orders. The sup-
ply of Beauties was not as heavy as one
might expect and a few orders were un-
filled.

Maids of course had the call over
Brides but after they had been all cleared
out tho latter went as well and on Sun-
day the market was entirely cleared out.
Carnations sold well, even white being
taken in a hurry. Some very good stock
was on the market. Lilies and all bulb-
ous stock sold at fine prices. The violet
market was fair but owing to some of the
stock arriving in very bad shape it had to
be sold at a low price to move it at all.

Of the outdoor decorative stock there
seemed to be any quantity and it could
be bought very reasonably too. There
was no scarcity in good holly as was
expected. Christmas bells never sold bet-
ter and many reported that they could
have used many more. Blooming plants
also sold very well; in fact, much better
than last year.

Altogether Christmas brought very good
business. I do not believe that the ag-
gregate is much ahead of last year, yet
if you will remember, last yjar was a
high water mark.

At present stock of all kinds is scarce
and sells at sight, good stock being espe-
cially in demand.

MAXILLARIA LUETO-ALBA.

The accompanying illustration of
Mazillaria luteo-alba is reproduced from
a photograph taken at the establishment
of Harry G. Selfridge, Lrake Geneva,
Wis. C. H. Gebhardt, the head gardener,
supplies the following descriptive and
cultural note:

"Pseudo-bulbs ovate, oblong, two
inches long; leaves broadly Ungulate,
fifteen to twenty inches long; flowers
large and fragrant; sepals linear, ob-
long, three inches long, white at the
base, the remainder tawny yellow, red-
dish purple behind; peta,l8 similar but
narrower; lip three lobed, the side lobes

erect, whitish streaked with dark purple
on the inner side.

* ' This is a fine plant, of easy culture.
I wonder why it is not frequently seen
in private collections. It is from New
Granada. "We pot them when the new
roots begin to appear, in a compost two-
thirds osmunda roots, one third sphag-
num moss, two-thirds broken pots at the
bottom. After potting we water spar-
ingly until they root freely, when we
give more water until the new growth is
ripe. "We shade heavily in summer and
give plenty top and bottom ventilation.
"We keep them in our Mexican house and
they do well."

The Market.

The supply of flowers was not so large
at New Year's as the week before.
Prices, which fell immediately after
Christmas, were well maintained on
nearly all good stock until after Tues-
day. The demand on Friday, Saturday
and Monday was excellent, a number
of entertainments and weddings augment-
ing the regular New Year's demand for
presents.

There has been great activity in polit-
ical circles. The opening of the state
legislature at Harrisburg, the installn-
tion of several new city officials here and
a like occurrence in Camden called for
many floral tributes from admiring
friends, Senator "Vare being especially
fortunate.

Beauties and Liberties were popular.
All roses are in demand. The receipts
of carnations have been larger than any
other flower. The demand is for the
fancies; poorer grades do not sell to ad-
vantage. Violets are not in demand and
prices are declining, feulbous flowers do
not sell well.

Craig Creditors to Choose.

John Burton, assignee of Robert
Craig & Son, has called a meeting of
the creditors of that flrm for 3 o'clock
on Thursday, January 12, at Forty-
ninth jind Alarket streets, to consider
two proposals: First, the acceptance of
50 cents on the dollar for their claims,
paj'able on or before June In ; second,
the exchange of the claims for stock
in the proposed Robert Craig Company.

A Chat With Mr. Stroud.

Edward A. Stroud, whose splendidly
equipped plant at Strafford has been the
Mecca for carnation growers during the
past year, is a grower of the modern
school, with ideas well worth knowing.
The Strafford place is sending extra fine
blooms to this market, blooms that at
Christmas brought the highest prices.
Phil was fortunate in meeting Mr.
Stroud at S. S. Pennook's the other
evening — Mr. Stroud believes in posting
his commission merchant on what he is
about to ship to him — and gleaned some
facts and ideas that may interest the
growers.

Of some twenty of the best varieties
planted last season the most profitable
were, first, Enchantress; second, Alpine
Glow; third, Mrs. La\vson; fourth. May
Naylor; fifth, Henry Fenn. sixth, Gene-
vieve Lord; seventh, Mrs. Francis Joost:
eighth, Prosperity. Quality is consid-
ered of paramount importance. No ef-
fort is spared to have only the best flow-
ers, which the retailers will welcome as
above the average and depend upon for
their best customers.

Christmas forcing is not favored, as
it tends to lower the vitality of the
plants and as a consequence the quality
of the product. While unprofitable vari-
eties are, of course, discarded, the aim is
to have a score of the best sorts, covering
all the colors and shades of color pop-
ular w^ flower loyer8,_as. -it is iound

WiuJAMSPORT, Pa. — M. A. Maxiner
has built a range of up-to-date green-
houses and opened a store at 345 Pine
street.

Some thought has been devoted to an
improved shipping box, but as yet with
no practical results.

The Green Leaf.

statement that the green leaf tag now

used on boxes of growing plants sent
by express has led to an improvement in
the promptness with which these perish-
able goods are forwarded. Mr. Mills
states that on receiving a box with the
green leaf on it, the express companies
at once notify their agent at the point
of destination to be on the lookout for
the box and to forward it promptly.
Notices to the same effect are also posted
in the large express offices. It is grat-
ifying to know that this result of the
•combined effort of the leading shippers
has been successful in minimizing the
disastrous delays that now and then at-
tend the transportation of our perish-
able products.

A Christmas Story.

Phil has been a bit criticised now and
then for saying that the growers as a
class didn't know how to sell stuff. It
is absolutely true, nevertheless. Who
would think of contradicting the state-
ment that the wholesalers do not know
how to grow stuff? One statement is
quite as true as the other. A story told
the other day will admirably illustrate
the point.

A certain grower had an exceptionally
heavy Christmas cut of, let us say. Pros-
perity. He carried the stuff to town
himself to his best customer, whom he
greeted with effusion. To his surprise the
retailer did not seem particularly glad
to see him, looked dubiously at his heavy
load and remarked several times that
business so far was not what it should
be. The grower felt very uneasy. What
if his Prosperities should be declined?
He had so many, no one else might want
them. He had intended asking, we will
say, $15 a hundred but decided that
$10 would be safe. The good ones were
all accepted, but the grower's satisfac-
tion was somewhat marred before he
left town. Business began to improve
at a lively rate and he saw his Prosper-
ities retailed at $3.50 a dozen.

Various Notes.

M. Rice & Co. are going to intro-
duce some high class novelties the com-
ing season, which no doubt will be win-
ners, and should be seen by all progres-
sive florists.

Philadelphia C*ut Flower Co., was elect-
ed a member of the Morists' Club last

ety has increased its dues for 1905 from

DENVER.

Christmas trade opened at a much
earlier date than usual and under more
favorable conditions. The weather was
all that could be desired and stock was
in the best condition, which resulted in
doing th© best plant trad« ever known
here at holiday time. Probably three-
fourths of the Christmas iokens used in
the floral line out here are blooming or
attractive foliage plants and the more
attractive they become from year to year
the more they are sought after and ap-
preciated by the flower lover and valued
by the cultivator. In this department
the wholesale men were cleaned out early

Maxillaria Luteo-AIba.

in the week. Contrary to previous expe-
rience, Begonia Lorraine had a big run
and those who overlooked its value as
a holiday plant, and some who last year
were not satisfied with the results at-
tained, are now quite chagrined. There
is no question about its value as a
money maker when well done. Cyclamens
also have increased in popularity and
are more in demand every year. Few
plants have improved in variety more
than the cyclamen and few plants will
give better returns when well done.
Poinsettias had an unprecedented sale
and, although the stock was fully fifty
per cent more than previous years, the
most were disposed of. Those grown in
pans from the later propagations,
found ready sale. Azaleas sold readily,
some of the growers having the best
specimens ever seen here. Mardner,
when not over forced and allowed to
retain its beautiful color, is certainly
the best seller. Primulas, both Sinen-
sis and obconica, when grown in low
pans are quite aji acquisition at Christmas
time and sell fairly well. Bulb stuff
was rather scarce. There were some
good Harrisii lilies and Paper White
narcissi and some very unsatisfactory
valley.

There was an ample supply of cut
flowers, excepting Beauties, which were
exhausted much earlier than other flow-
ers. Probably their cheapness created
the early demand. Top notchers sold for
$12 and shorter varieties went as low
as $5. Bride, Maid and Chatenay
brought from $2 to $4 and Liberty
slightly higher. In carnations, Enchant-
ress, Flamingo, Indianapolis and White
lawson brought $2 per dozen and or-
dinary good varieties went as low as
$1. Violets sold at $4 per hundred but
many^-a pnrebasep paid this price with
considerable reluctance.

Christmas greens, such as holly, lyco-
podium and California pepper had an
enormous sale this year, the largest por-
tion of it being done by the street cor-
ner vender.

Store window decorations, while not
showing much originality, were very at-
tractive. Scott showed what could be

done in red and both his windows were
ela,borately arranged in this color. Bells,
poinsettias, natural and artificial, red
lights etc., in profusion had the desired
effect of attracting the masses.

The Park Floral Co. 's window, while
not so elaborate, was neatly arranged
with poinsettias and California peppers
shaded with red lights. The pepper was
used as a drapery on the grill work sur-
rounding the upper portion of the win-
dow and held its foliage and berries
well through the week. This store was
completely lined with holly from ceil-
ing to wainscoting and looked fine when
seen under the influence of electric light.

Great Divide.

DES MOINES. lA.

Ye scribe took a run among the craft
today and found them well satisfied with
Cliristmas sales; that is, they all sold
out what they had, and that is all one
could ask. In fact, Christmas trade was
better this year than last, with prices
about the same or better on some things.
Holly and greens were to be had at the
grocer and butcher and the florists here
do not expect much demand for them.

I first stopped at J. F. Marshall 's to
see his new house. It is a beauty. He
has it planted with Prosperity and Mc-
(jowan. I expect some of you will laugh
at this, for we realize that McGowan is
a back number, but when it pays better
at $2 per hundred than Prosperity at
$5, then the laugh is on the other fel-
aT' ^^^ i* '^ dollars we are after and
Mr. Marshall grows that which produces
the most dollars. Just here let me say
that he has a new carnation grower at
his house, or will have in after years if
all goes wbH, but at this writing lie is
only one week and one day old.

We next touched at Julius Ledig's
and the greeting we got was, "We aeU
all we can grow." His mums are fol-
lowed with a crop of lettnce and this to
be followed with bedding plants. His
carnations are fine, but his roses are
backward on account of mildew.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

JANUABY 5, 1905.

NEW YORK.

The Market

The New Year hardly caused a ripple
on the floricultural sea, Saturday was
an exceptionally good Saturday and that
was about all the extra indication of
the coming of the glad New Year. There
was no over supply, no pickled stock and
no unnatural prices. Monday was peace-
ful and restful. The majority of the
wholesalers closed their doors and start-
ed for the bosoms of their tamilies at
1 o'clock. By 3 p. m. every curtain was
rung down and peace and quiet pre-
vailed. Most of the retailers were still
open when the evening shadows fell,
but there was "nothin' doin'."

It was one of the quietest New Year's
on r^ord. A London fog and spring
temperature were unseasonable and de-
pressing. The January thaw was prompt-
ly on time. There seems to be little left
in the plant line in any of the stores.
Inquiry of their proprietors indicates
one of tne best Christmas seasons in the
city's history. Prosperity was general.
There has been no honest complaining as
to results. Everybody did well and all
start the New Year cheerfully. The in-
dications are favorable for four of the
best months the business has ever known
here.

Just at present shipments of cut flow-
ers from the growers are light and good
prices have been easily maintained. Vio-
lets do not show the animation expected
and they have to be specials indeed to
command over $1 per hundred. Doubt-
less as the week progresses quite a re-
duction from New Year's quotations will
be made. The out of town demand for
orchids continues. A great many are
shipped daily. Cypripediums were too
^abundant and severe cuts were necessary
to move them. There seems to be a limit-
less supply of carnations. If abundance
is an indication of sovereignty, then the
carnation is surely king.

As to the future, the general opinion
is optimistic and all branches of the busi-
ness seem to start the new year with
ambition and hope in the ascendancy
and expectation of a successful year al-
most universal.

Various Notes.

All members of the New York bowl-
ing club are requested to attend a spe-
cial meeting to be held at the club's
alleys. West Thirtieth street, Monday
afternoon, January 9. The club will
bowl from 3 to 7 p. m., prior to tne reg-
ular meeting of the New York Florists'
Club. Any exhibit of novelties m plants
and flowers will be welcomed and these
may be sent in care of Secretary John
Young and will be properly staged for
the evening's display. A large attend-
ance is anticipated. The installation of
officers will tajce place and many inter-
esting features will make the inaugural
meeting one of special value to all. To
surpass the average attendance of 1904,
it is quite desirable that no less than 100
be on hand on Monday evening.

A wave of grippe, bronchitis and pneu-
monia has been sweeping over New York
and vicinity during the past two week*
and few of the trade have escaped a
-dash of^he spray, -while many have been
thoroughly submerged and some are on
the sick list still. Some of the best
bowlers are among them. Matches are
close at hand with the clubs of Hob;.ken.
Flatbush and Madison and it behooves
these old standbys to brace up rapi<lly.

So far the club has almost an unbeaten
record. It was a cold night at Madi-
son and the New Yorkers simply found
it impossible to warm up in a strictly
temperance town, but that was the first
and last defeat of the season.

Theo. Lang, the captain of last year's
aggressive aggregation, will roll with
the club during the balance of the year.
Only the best bowlers will uphold the
club's prestige in the remaining matches.
Several large balls and decorations to
come ought to put nerve into Mr. Lang's
good right arm and keep his average
over the 200. J. Austin Shaw.

BUFFALO.

It's about time I awqke from the
hybernating state and joined the pro-
cession. Seven weeks' rest, mostly on
my back, has not refreshed me any, but
I am getting there fast.

My brief report of Christmas doings
is a week behind your other correspond-
ents, but there is an advantage in that,
as I get the benefit of all the reports and
can at least strike an average. The Buf-
falo trade seems to have been most sat-
isfactory, while we believe some of the
leading stores can truthfully say that
their business was a considerable ad-
vance on any previous year. Taking
the whole city through, we don't think
the aggregate of business done was much
if any, ahead of last year. First of all
the weather could have been 500 times
better: Cold early in the week; then a
thaw on Friday, leaving the streets bare ;
then on Saturday, the great plant deliv-
ering day, a drop to a few degrees above
zero. We think plants were rather a
bigger business than cut flowers. Bou-
quet green was in large demand for
many purposes and was well cleaned up.
Holly was an oversupply in spite of the
immense quantity sold and with the ex-
ception of a case here and there it was
of very poor quality. With the help of
the ilex berries it made wreaths and ev-
erybody wanted one and some a score.

It's not easy to say what flower took
the lead. First-class roses were scarce.
Colored carnations were in great demand,
especially red. Violets went rather slow-
ly. They reach rather too elevated a
price in this city. In plants also there
may be a diflFerence of opinion which was
the most popular. We know that Be-
gonia Lorraine, azaleas, ericas and poin-
settias in all shapes sold well and cyc-
lamens and other cheaper plants all went
off'. One man expressed it by saying:
"Everything sold well."

W. J. Palmer & Son had a grand cut
of Liberty rose, which sold at retail for
$9 per dftzen. They also had immense
quantities of their Red Lawson carna-
tion, just the thing for the season.

S. A. Anderson had a grand lot of
Lorraine begonias and poinsettias.

Miss Kachel Rebstock made a brilliant
show of everything desirable in the mar-
ket. J. H. Rebstock, H. Keitsch & Son.
Byrne Bros, and L. H. Neubeck and the
other Main street florists made fine dis-
plays and are well satisfied with results.
From a few days before Christmas up to
date there has been a succession of soci-
ety events of some magnitude, which has^
kept" "one or another firm ^usy and in-
cidentally helps all.

Durinp our retirement it happened, we
believe, that few florists visited our town,
but on Christmas day we were invited
to go down-stairs to speak by telephone
to Jimmy Fiancee Hartshome, the hon-

orable president of the American Carna-
tion Society, who was passing through
Buffalo. We would have liked to very
much, but we felt just then that if we
were given the startling news that the
ark with Noah as commodore was sail-
ing down the icy surface of Lake Erie,
we should not have gone to the window
"to have a look." W. S.

BROCKTON. MASS.

Christmas trade was very satisfactory
in every way and there was a substan-
tial increase in sales as compared with
1903. The demand for flowering plants
was exceptionally strong. A good many
foliage plants were also sold. In cut
flowers carnations were easily the lead-
ers. There was also a good call for
violets, roses, lilies and other seasonable
flowers.

W. W. Hathaway, on Main street, kept
eight clerks busily employed for several
days prior to Christmas. He estimated
his store trade at twenty-five per cent
over 1903. In holly ana wreathing, sales
were very large. Flowering plants sold
finely, including Lorraine oegonias, aza-
leas, poinsettias, solanums, primulas,
cinerarias and cyclamens. In cut flow-
ers, roses sold well, chrysanthemums
rather slowly. Of carnations and violets
there were not enough to go around. Mr.
Hathaway notes an increasing call for
orchids. Of these he has been making
weekly displays in his windows.

C. A. Reed, on Main street, did a big
trade in flowering plants and was prac-
tically cleaned out. Lorraine begonias,
Roman hyacinths in pans, azaleas and
primulas were favorites. Palms and fern
dishes also sold well. Holly and other
green stuff were in brisk demand. Vio-
lets, roses and carnations were the best
selling flowers. Christmas bells also went
well. Sales were fully twenty-five per
cent greater than a year ago.

Mrs. Moir, on Center street, had a
very attractive Christmas display in her
windows. In plants she had an extra
good sale for Lorraine begonias, prim-
ulas, palms and fern dishes. Carna-
tions and violets were the favorites with
cut flower buyers.

Thomas Greaves, at the Crawford
Greenhouses, had a big crop of carna-
tions of fine quality in for the holidays,
also a tine general assortment of other
flowers. All of Mr. Greaves' flowers are
handled by C. A. Reed.

Harry Cole, at the Copeland Green-
houses, Campello, had a fine Christmas
trade for his first year in business. In
addition to carnations and other staples
he had a nice cut of cattleyas and cyp-
ripediums, \tbich were readily disposed
of at good prices.

One of the dry. goods stores made a
feature of Boston ferns and Aspar^ijn s
plumosus, of which they appeared to dis-
pose of a good number.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Trade among the wholesale and retail
stores between Christmas and New Year's
was, generally speaking, good. The con-
signments were not large and the local
<iemand, coupled with shipping orders,
cleaned up stock nearly every day.

New Year's business did not call for
much extra stock, which was not as
plentiful as at Christmas, and prices
were somewhat lower. Transient trade
the past week was very quiet, but a
great deal of funeral work was made.
White stock was more in demand than
a week ago. There are plenty of good
roses to he had but Liberty and Meteor
are scarce. Beauties of the fancy or-
-der are very limited but the other
grades are more plentiful.

Carnations are having a great call,
both white and colored varieties. On
• Saturday the market sold up clean on
everything good. Violets were stickers
the past week and the price went down
as low as 75 cents per hundred. On
Saturday the price doubled again and
stock moved satisfactorily. Bomans are
coming in big lots. Paper "Whites are
not so plentiful. Lily of the valley is
moving slowly. Harrisii and callas are
scarce. Green goods are slow this week,
although smilax and asparagus have
some call.

Various Notes.

It pains me to report the death of our
old friend, Patrick Quinn. He was killed
near his place on Arlington avenue in
an altercation with a teamster. "Pat,"
as he was better known, was for twenty-
five years foreman for the old Jordan
Floral Co. He was 42 years old and
leaves a wife, three children, two broth-
ers and a host of friends in the trade
to mourn his loss. The funeral took
place Monday afternoon to Calvary ceme-
tery. Floral designs were numerous and
many of the old-timers were present.

F"ed Foster has the sympathy of the
trade. Death has taken away his only
■daughter, Edith, 8 years old. The fu-
nexaL took place December 30, masy of
his friends in the trade attending.

Henry Emunds, of Belleville, called
the past week and reports a fine trade
•during all of the holiday week, with
plenty of his own stock to fill orders for
New Year's.

A. Jablonsky, of Wellston, reports a
big trade, both local and shipping, in
Begonia Gloire de Lorraine and that his
plants were never finer.

Michel Plant and Bulb Co. are hav-
ing a big sale of their surplus stock,
also Boston and Pierson ferns. All
their stock is of good quality.

C. A. Kuehn says those red folding
paper Christmas bells sold out clean,
with many more calls for the 6-inch size.

The Ellison Floral Co. had one of the
most attractive window displays in the
west end during Christmas week, the
daily press giving them special notice.

Fred H. Weber, on Boyle and Mary-
land avenues, says trade was way ahead
of last year, especially in plants of all
kinds, with Christmas greens in great
demand.

Wm. Schray & Sons did a rushing
plant trade. Everything sold well. Cut
flowers, too, had a great call.

Frank M. Ellis reports a big sale on
CaJifomia violets. Even at the high
prices everything sold clean.

Kalisch & Sons report an extra large
demand for cut flowers and plants dur-
ing the holidays.

Oscar Heile and the Diemer Floral Co.,
who play the parts of rivals on South
Broadway, report a good Christmas
trade.

Alex. Waldbart, in the extreme west
end, had a fine trade in blooming plants
and plenty to do with cut flowers.

Max. Rotter, on North Broadway, re-
ports a large cut flower trade during
Christmas week, with plenty of funeral
work.

George Wagner, on Maryland avenue,
is greatly pleased with his season's busi-
ness.

From what I can learn this early,
about twelve will attend the carnation
meeting at Chicago. At the Florists'
Club meeting next Thursday afternoon
the number may be increased to flfteen,
perhaps twenty. At this meeting the
trustees will announce the list of essays
for the new year. President Juengel
ynll be on hand, as he has recovered
from his sick spell.

Bowlins:.

It is understood that the Florists'
Bowling Club will call a meeting and
invite all the florist bowlers to take part
in the weekly bowling as usual for the
past twelve years. Those who are rolling

in the different city leagues will take
part when their season closes, in about
four months. Those who are expected to
attend this meeting are F. C. Weber,
Theo. Miller, C. A. Kuehn, A. Y. Ellison,
Carl and Eobert Beyer, Ed. Geriach,
Fred Weber, Jr., C. C. Sanders, Fred
Meinhardt, Frank Ellis, O. R. Beneke,
B. W. Guy, Henry Lorenze and J. J.
Beneke. J. J. B.

GRAND RAPIDS. MICH.

The Grand Rapids Florists' Associa-
tion met at the office of Henry Smith,
Monroe and Division streets, December
27 to discuss the first month's business
of the Chicago agency. The agency was
established December 1, several of the
local florists uniting in the attempt to
secure a Chicago market for their sur-
plus stock. Thus far the plan has proved
most satisfactory. The local florists
have shipped their surplus stock and
have found a ready market for it. Al-
though the business is still in its in-
fancy, it is expected that it will work
so satisfactorily in the end that it may
be enlarged even to the extent of open-
ing agencies in other cities than Chica-
go. All the local growers are highly
pleased with the experiment, as it pre-
vents a lot of surplus stock spoiling on
their hands because of there not being a
sufficient demand for this grade in Grand
Rapids.

BUTTE. MONT.

A few words in regard to Christmas.
The Butte Floral Co. had their greatest
Christmas since in business and were
completely sold out Sunday morning.
The only objection was they could not
get enough stock. Luckily they had
about 100 azaleas, which were decorated
and sold very readily. Their display
was grand and many visitors changed
their minds about the wild and woolly
west. Mr. Wilhelm, in charge here,
must be given credit for his windows,
also his interior decorations. J. Seitz,
at the greenhouse, certainly hustled
to get his azaleas in and Robert
Miller, the rose grower, cut a fine lot,
both carnations and roses. The weather
was very cold, with lots of snow and
ice. which made it harder for us.

Our' best seller was Enchantress, which
brought $3 and $4, Beauties brought
from $15 to $25, roses from $5 to $8 and
the other carnations brought $2, Lawson
$2.50 and $3.

WICHITA, KAN.

The Christmas trade was enough bet-
ter than last year to keep up the record
of advancement each year. Holly and
greens sold well, holly being short in
supply, as the florists could not get their
orders filled from the wholesalers. Prices
were about the same as last year. Bulb
stock had a slow sale, except in assorted
boxes. The quality of cut fiowers was
good in most cases. Blooming plants
had a fair sale, but not much cfdl for
palms, etc. Azaleas were in the lead
with pans of Romans next. Weather
conditions were good. Prices on cut
flowers, while no higher than heretofore
at Chri8tma^^revented_nmnj frqmJbuy_-_
ing, but" the supply was exhausted and
orders declined for lack of stock.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

January 5, 1905.

BOSTON.

The Market.

Following Christmas, supplies were
unusually small until December 31.
Growers no doubt were wise in allowing
retail buyers to use up their heavy pur-
chases of the preceding week. lYade was
quiet for several days, but improved on
New Year's eve, when stock cleaned out
very nicely. New Year's day is not kept
here as in other places and occasions no
extra call for flowers, outside of a few
dances and similar social functions. The
present week will, however, see a real
start to social activity. Quite a number
of dinner parties of prominent society
leaders will help to enliven business.

Prices have dropped all around from
Christmas figures, as was to be expect-
ed, but as a rule are still satisfactory.
Best Beauties have sold at from $60 to
$75 and from these figures down to $6
per hundred. Brides and Bridesmaids
for select stock have brought $12.50, a
few extra fine making $16, poorer
grades down to $4. Top price for Lib-
erty has been $25. Carnations have
made $4 to $6 for good stock, some ex-
tra fine Enchantress going for $7 and
$8. Violets are coming in more freely.
About $1 is the average for doubles, ex-
tra good single making $1.50. A few
chrysanthemums still come in. There is
no great demand, however, at $6 per
hundred. Out poinsettias of various
grades are more plentiful, but are not
in much request. Campernelle jonquils
at $2 and Trumpet major narcissi at
$6 are seen in small lots. Roman hya-
cinths and Paper White narcissi are
hard to move. Callas and Lilium Har-
risii average $12.50 per hundred. Free-
sias are coming from several grow-
ers, also some nice white and yellow
marguerites. Prices on "green goods"
remain about the same, with no parti-
cular increase in demand. The new year
opened with phenomenally warm weath-
er. This will tend to increase output of
flowers and may reduce prices.

The Lecture Program.

The following is the program of lec-
tures and discussions for the season
1905 at Horticultural Hall, meetings
open each Saturday at 11 o'clock. Jan-
uary 14, "Some Recently Introduced
Weeds," by Merritt L. Fernald, Cam-
bridge; January 21, "Forest Planting
for Profit in Massachusetts," by Theo-
dore F. Borst, Boston; January 28, gen-
eral discussion on fruit, opened by E. W.

opened by W. W. Rawson. Arlington. PTrt-lfppeareann the last issue of the

— Tlie coTHpafatlve dearth of practical
floricultural topics in the foregoing list
is to be regretted. It would seem to be
necessary to add some practical florist
or gardener to the lecture committee an-
other year to secure a more interesting

program. There is certainly little in
the coming course to appeal to florists.

The inaugural meeting of the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society for the
year 1905 will be held on January 7, at
Horticultural Hall. The business will
consist of hearing an inaugural address
from the president-elect, A. F. Esta-
brook, the reports of oflScers and the re-
ports of the chairmen of the various
committees.

Various Notes.

William Malloy and James Denning,
at the Park street market, salesmen for
the J. A. Budlong Co., of Providence,
R. I., are both on the sick list, the lat-
ter being quite seriously ill. Barney
McGinty, of the same market, is also
suffering from blood poisoning.

W. H. Ward, of Montvale, has been
shipping extra good Mont Blanc and
Earliest of All sweet peas to the stores
for some time, also a high grade of car-
nations. Mrs. Wlard makes a very efli-
eient and gracious saleslady for the
same.

Evans, of Watertown, is sending in
quantities of his high grade of mignon-
ette to the Park street market. Messrs.
Kidder and Spillbury's single violets at
the same stand are extra fine.

J. Horrigan, of East Foxboro, is very
dangerously ill. He is one of the stall
holders at the Park street market.

At the new market, Tailby, of Welles-
ley, is selling the first sweet scented
jonquils. A. H. Fewkes, of Newton
Highlands, has fine white and yellow
marguerites and Edward Bingham, of
Dedham, extra good violets.

Thomas Pigler, who acts as salesman
for Oscar L. Dorr, of Sharon Heights,
at Park street, has about 3,000 very fine
Campbell violets daily. He sold 36,000
of these on December 24. At the same
stand Mrs. L. C. Fisk, of Upton, is
handling quite a lot of variegated stcvia.

F. R. Pierson, of Tarrytown, was a
caller the jmst week. He had been look-
ing up various new carnations and we
understand liked Arnold's Variegatod
Lawson so well that he purchased tlip
same.

W. E. Doyle reports Christmas sales
far ahead of any previous year. Azaleas
were the best sellers in plants, those at
from $4 to $7 each being favorites. Kil-
larney rose is a great favorite with Mr.
Doyle and for so single a variety it is
a great keeper. Among other plants
and flowers shown at the Boyleston
street store the past week were Rose Eg-
lantine, with a delicious sweet brier
odor, double primus. Euphorbia Jao-
quiniaeflora and very fine white lilac.

McMulkin had a very pretty white
window this week, roses, carnations, val-
ley, white azaleas, camellias, hyacinths,
Lilium Harrisii and other seasonable
flowers being tastefully displayed.

A local grower, who had an overflow
of white carnations at Christmas, says
he will experiment with dyes to see if
he can produce scarlet ones another sea-
son. He says if all his whites could
have been dyed of a Manley or Flami' "
hue he would have been many a dollar
in pocket.

Alexander Ogg, the grower of the
specimen l.di iiiiij(i_lH'4;iiiii'ii of whirli n~

ers of a splendid type of Cypripedium
insigne montanum.

While energetic measures are being
taken to fight the brown tail and gypsy
moths in a number of our nearby towns
and cities the coming season, news comes
from the state entomologist of Maine
that the brown tail has infested large
areas in that state, many trees in widely
separated sections bemg loaded with
nests.

A Massachusetts subscriber asks us
to advise him through the Review how
to rid hia carnation house of mice, which

are eating the buds. Ihere is no better
preventive than one or two greenhouse
cats. As the trouble is acute we would
recommend small quantities of strych-
nine mixed with cheese or meat. This is
Uie most speedy remedy we have ever
tried.

To the increasing number of Review
readers in Boston and vicinity, we wish
a very happy and prosperous New
Year. We would be glad at all times
to receive from any of them iittle
items of trade or general horticul-
tural interest. W. N. Craio.

at Southboro. Mass. His best plants
were rooted in September, 1903, and car-
ried over winter in a carnation hou.sp.

club meeting Mr. Ogg also showed flow-

MILVAUKEE.

The florists' shops in the down-town
districts show the effects of a large holi-
day trade. The beautiful displays made
before Christmas were sadly disarranged
and almost completely cleaned up by
eager purchasers. The demand for
plants has increased considerably and
some dealers state it is less diflScult to
realize a good profit on a well-grown
plant than on cut flowers and in many
respects it is more satisfactory to the
purchaser and recipient. More elab-
orate displays were made this year than
formerly and most of the stores were
filled up with a fine selection of the
blooming plants seasonable at this holi-
day. Azaleas, poinsettias and cyclamen
predominated, although there was a gon-
erous amount of primroses, Jerusalen*
cherries, Christmas peppers and lily
plants. •

The cut flower market remained firm,,
especially in colored stock. The demand
for carnations was exceptionally brisk
and good Enchantress, Crane, Estelle and^
Lawson readily brought $8 per hundred
and other varieties brought equally good
prices according to quality. In roses,
Chatenay, Liberty and American Beauty
were short of the demand, with enougb
of Maid, Bride, Perle and Gate to go
around. A fine cut of violets of excel-
lent quality was on the market and sold
well. There was plenty of stevia, bul-
bous stock and various greens to meet
all demands. Shipping trade was fully
up to former years, although high prices
have most effect on the smaller dealers,
who have a sort of sche<lule prices the
year around.

A noticeable feature was the large dis-
plays and consequent large demand for
bells, chimes and immortelle wreaths.
Mistletoe was plentiful and quality fine.
Holly was in good demand and there
was a shortage the last few days and
prices went upward. C. C. Pollworth Co.
had a branch store for the handling of
hollyand^gre^naJEor th*-he}4daysr

Pricesheld up well until after New
Year's although the warmer weather
helped somewhat to increase the supply
of stock. Incog.

CHICAGO.

The Market

Business continued fairly strong be-
tween Christmas and New Year's, ship-
ping trade being particularly active,
but by Friday receipts had so increased
that prices began to weaken. As a mat-
ter of fact long Beauties had been stead-
ily retreating ever since Christmas and
their capitulation was no surprise. Me-
dium lengths do considerably better,
comparatively, than the long stock. Qual-
ity is good. Other roses have held up
better than Beauties but Chatenay is
weak. Brides are doing better than
Maids because of the call for funeral
work and for the same reason Liberty is
less aggressive.

Carnations went out of the old year
with prices on the toboggan. The break
of Friday was accentuated Saturday and
this week the wholesale houses are over-
stocked, with the buyer making the prices
on the lower grades. The good shipping
demand still makes a fair market for
the select stock.

Receipts of New York violets are not
large but prices are low, from 50 cents
to $1.50 according to the original char-
acter of the goods and the length of
time they are finding a buyer. Singles
sell at a fair price but Campbell is pret-
ty poor property. Valley is plentiful and
the last few days there have been many
calla and Harrisii lilies about. There
are buckets full of Paper Whites and
Romans, a few tulips and daffodils, also
some sweet peas, considerable mignonette
and a great deal of stevia. Jurgens still
has poinsettias. "Green goods" are equal
to all requirements.

Hardy Ferns.

~ The liardy cut tern question has af-
forded the wholesalers considerable trou-
ble the past few years as it seems that
the supply in Massachusetts is inade-
quate to give the country all the ferns
needed at a reasonable price and of fair
quality. It has become so that the jobbers
there apparently feel tiiat they are doing
the big buyers a favor by filling their
orders. This has resulted in the use of

more or less Michigan ferns and the de-
velopment of a regular source of supply
there. This week parties have been in
town offering contracts for million lots
of 1905 crop for delivery as wanted up
to May 1, 1906. Attractive prices are
quoted and the wholesalers are all in-
terested, as a satisfactory supply and
near at hand would be greatly appreci-
ated.

A Gmundrum.

There is a story told, but not authen-
ticated, for it would appear superfluous,
of a dining-table center-piece made by a
local florist who shall be nameless save
that he was christened by fond parents
for the biblical gentleman of the coat
of many colors. It was a basket filled
with moss, the flowers wired on picks.
No corsage bouquets were provided and,
on leaving the table, where the center-
piece was much admired, one of the
guests asked if she might have a flower,
and took a rose. It came away none too
easily, bringing with it a tuft of moss
and skewered on the pick a card, and
on the card a name and these words of
great significance: "With deepest sym-
pathy." Now, the question is, where
did the florist get that moss?

Various Notes.

The Flower Growers' Co. held its an-
nual meeting Tuesday afternoon, re-elect-
ing directors as follows: Emil Buettner,
F. R. Hills, John Sinner, A. Henderson.
W. L. Tonner. The directors elected of-
ficers as follows: President, Emil Buett-
ner ; vice-president, W. L. Tonner ; treas-
urer. F. R. Hills; recording secretary.
A. Henderson; financial secretary and
manager, Percy Jones. The officers were
congratulated on the_ showing- 4nftde the
"pasfyear. Ifeustel Bros., of Galewood.
are new stand holders.

When one enters the J. A. Budlong
greenhouses, the first thing that strikes
him, aside from the good condition in
which the stock is always found, is tho
fact that the purlin supports are all set
at an angle to the benches, so that they
form almost a right angle with the glass.
This is a departure from the practice
in other big places north of town.

E. G. Hill came up irom Kicnmond
Wednesday with a magnificent bunch of
his new red rose, which he installed at
Benthey's and sent out an invitation ta
growers to come and see it. Many had
already bought and others did so when
they saw this vase. Richmond will be-
largely grown in thig vicinity next year
and lAT. Hill says it looks as if he would
have no trouble at all in selling all the
stock he can root.

The A. L. Randall Co. reports that its
December business exceeded by $400 the
largest previous month in its career.

TORONTO.

The Market.

Since our last notes much has trans-
pired in and around Toronto, as two
very busy weeks have passed. As city
florists look back to them they consider
it the best Christmas Toronto has ever
seen. Of course it would be impossible
for the splendid business that was done
to pass off without some little regrets.
These came in the shape of a number of
frozen boxes of flowers, plants, etc.,
that were delivered Saturday afternoon,
as it turned bitterly cold, with a keen
northwest wind. The worst case we had
reported was where the driver, as well
as a load of plants, was frozen. The
driver was taken to the hospital where
he has been ever since.

Since Christmas business has been qui-
et and with our municipal and other
elections, some prophesy that trade will '

New Iiate Pink Chrysantheinaiii, Freeda Senner. This Cbrrsanttaemum we have
grown three years. It is a very profitable variety on account of it being so very late ; begins
blooming December 20. continuing to middle of January; color, salmon pink; large and full;
strong grower, three to four feet, foliage dark green leaves, well up to bloom, and a good
keeper. On account of its lateness, it is bound to be exceedingly valuable.

not be up to the mark during the month
of January; however, these people we
usually find looking for trouble.

Notable features of the Christmas
business were the extra demand for
plants, both foliage and blooming, and
the amount of bells, hampers and other
accessories that were used, and the splen-
did prices realized by the retail dealers
for good stock. As an explanation of
these features it might be noted that
Toronto has always been notably a cut
flower city and plants never sold on a
par with cut flowers, especially at holi-
day time. The retailers especially com-
ment upon their big sales of plants and
the exceptionally good price they re-
ceived for them. Bells sold fairly' well
last year and it was thought this year
that demand would not be so great but
the sales this year far surpassed other
years. Good roses, with the exception of
American Beauties, were on the scarce
side, violets plentiful. Paper "Whites and
Romans an over-stock ; greens of all
kinds in full supply.

Prices went down on January 2 and
will range about the same as other years.
We expect in a couple of weeks to be
settled down to steady business. D. J.

KANSAS QTY.

The Market

In spite of a severe storm of snow
and wind that visited this city last week,
a splendid New Year's business was done
Owing to the cold, cloudy weather ard
severe cutting, roses were not up to the
usual standard, but carnations are look-
ing well and the demand equals the
supply. Prices are still the same ns a

week ago and the indications are that
there will be little weakening for some
time to come. There is a plentiful tup-
ply of Paper Whites, lily of the valley
and Romans, but the demand is light, ex-
cept for funeral work, Everyono with
whom I have talked seems well satisfied
with the amount of business done the
past two weeks and confident of fair
business to come.

Various Notes.

A number of large receptions were re-
ported tlie past week, notable among
which was the consecration of Bishop
Lillis at the cathedral and the reception
following at the Coates Hotel. Ed.
Ellsworth, with G. M. Kellogg, had both
decorations and furnished a ba.iutiful
display, using about 400 Americii Beau-
ties in the work.

Another was that for the Progress
Club's New Year's reception and ball.
Palms, smilax and roses were used and
the electrical display was unusually tine
and reflects credit upon the decorator,
Jas. Biggam.

The Alpha Floral Co. had ch-irge of
a very nice decoration on Central street,
which, although small, was very fine.
The Alpha Floral Co. reports an exceed-
ingly good business the past week.

J. H. Vesey, out on Denver avenue,
reports good business the past week. He
has some fine stuflf coming on.

Miss H. B. Jewell reports fine busi-
ness during the week and is contemplat-
ing building several houses for growinir
a general collection of cut flowers and
bedding plants.

Mrs. C. J. Dnss reports business in
her line as satisfactory and is booking

WASHINGTON.

Christmas being over and after a few
days' breathing spell the different firms
express themselves as follows:

Gude's had all they could do and
cleaned up everything.

Blackistone did better than last year,
with a big demand for plants.

Geo. Cook says "It was bully; more
than I was counting on. ' '

Pfister says "It was fine but think
it would have been better if we had had
the right kind of weather."

Mr. Eobertson was all smiles and sai<l
he sold everything except his fixtures
He did not mind the rain and sleet,
for it kept those "pricers" away. Any
one coming out that day meant business,

Gapt. Ernest expects to have the bowl

they are hardened up now and will make
a showing. Rambleu.

AMERICAN SEED TRADE ASSOCUTION.

Pres., C. N. Pagre, Des Moines, la ; First Vice-
Pres., L. L. May, St. Paul: Secy and Treas.. C. K.
Kendel, Cleveland. The 23rd annual meeting
will be held on the St Liawrence, June, 1906.

Some dissatisfaction is expressed at
the poor deliveries that are being made
on beans.

Cucumber seed and sweet corn are
listed in this year's catalogues at vne
old-time prices.

The whoesale lists will contain higher
prices on many things in seeds than do
the retail books.

Burpee's twenty-ninth general seed
catalogue was put into the mails on the
last day of the old year.

It is reported that the California grow-
ers have concluded to quit operating in
the "up the river" region.

The catalogues that cater to the "price
bujyer" surely get down to rock bottom
on,j many of the standard sorts.

•«\XL varieties of seed beans are 'higher
in. price than they have been for manv
. seasons at this time of the year. "^^ *

It seems rather odd that a wholesale
inquiry for quotations on ten bushel lota
of beans are priced higher than a, gar-
dener's inquiry for one bushel.

Wjietiier there is enough ezg jjlnnt
seed for market garden trade i.* still a
question. Gradfes below the gardeners'
stf^itdard are not plentiful, either.

J. W. Ratekin, of Shenandoah, la.,
je|K)rts a very good quality of seen coin
in drying houses there.. His own firm
is one of the largest handlers in in.'
country. . .

Contract deliveries of peas that mo«t
of the growers are making seem to bo
satisfactory. Some sorts are quite scarce,
but not sufficiently so to cause any dis-
turbance.

There will be a meeting on January
10. at Cincinnati, of the executive com-
mittee of the American Seed Trade As-
•sociation. Routine matters will afford
the principal business.

The winter so far has beeti favorable
for the onion sets that are in storage.
February shipments are about the first
to come out. The true condition of the
.sets will then be known.

Some of the most important of the
foreign seeds are behindhand again thi.s
year. Replies to inquiries as to the cause
of delay put the blame on the weather
at harvest time and the unfavorable con-
ditions since.

SEED TRADE IN THE SOUTH.

G. B. McVay, president of the Amzi
Godden Co., Birmingham, Ala., is quoted
as follows:

The past year's business was only an average
one, due In a large measure to the excessive
dry fall. The market gardeners of the South
snftered much from loeing their fall crops on
this account.

The pnmpects for another year are much
better than last season at the same time. We

ing the high prices asked for cut flow-
ers at wholesale and which are a decided
deterrent to increased trade in the small
places.

ceiving material for four new earfiation

no better than usual. Carnations were

NURSERY NEWS.

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF NURSERYMEN.

Pres., E. W. Klrkpatrlck, McKlnney, Tex ;
^Ice-PreB., C. L. WatrouB, Des Moineb; Secy,
Geo. C. Seagrer, Rochester; Treas., C. L. Yates.
Rochester. The 29th anoual convention will be
held at West Baden, Ind., June, 1906.

Johnson Bros., Snowflake, Wis., are
gathering and shipping native tree seeds,
principally pines.

Thos. Meehan & Sons, Dreshertown,
Pa., report that the demand for Manetti
stocks has been so great that their im-
portation was quickly exhausted.

For the presidency of the Kansas
State Horticultural Society, Frank Hol-
singer, of Wyandotte, defeated E. J,
Holman, of Leavenworth, by eleven votes.
W. H, Barnes was re-elected secretary.

S. W. Marshall & Son, the nursery-
men of Fresno, say that the apple groves
in the foothill and coast region of Cali-
fornia fully sustain the reputations of
the best eastern varieties. Apple grow-
ing is on the increase on the coast.

The Arkansas State Horticultural So-
ciety holds its twenty-fifth annual con-
vention at Rogers January 24 to 26.
The state has sprung into a leading
position for fruit production. Ernest
Walwer, Fayetteville, Ark., is secretary
of the society.

In the selection of a collection of
shrubs it is generally the case that too
much attention is given to the blossom-
ing of varieties and consequently many
species of indubitable worth are left out.
There are many traits of shrubs to look
to besides the flowers, but chiefly the
harmony of foliage, the autumnal effects
and, last, but by no means least, says
John W. Duncan, the beautiful effects
from the many colors of fruits.

CALIFORNIA PRIVET.

1 would like to hear through the Re-
view the best way to raise California
privet. Have a nice hedge of it and
would like to extend it farther.

J. P. E.

The easiest method of propagation for
California privet, and that most generally
practiced, is to take cuttings eight to
twelve inches long in late fall, say No-
vember, of year-old-wood. These should
be tied in small bunches and buried in the
ground over winter. In spring, plant in
rows quite thickly and wide enough apart
in the rows to permit of frequent culti-
vation. If bushy plants are desired, pinch
the tops from all strong shoots once or
twice during the growing season. After the
first season's growth is completed the
plants are in danger of being killed by
severe frost. It would be better to dig
them up and heel in the soil quite deeply,
replanting in April and at the same time
cutting back the plants quite hard. This
will insure nice, bushy specimens.

Cuttings as short aa four inches can be
used if necessary. Be sure the ground
is firmly tramped about them also when
the rooted plants are transplanted. The
best time to plant California privet is
April or the early part of May. Fall
planting cannot be recommended.

CARAQTY OF BOILER.

I have a No. 16 Hitchings corrugated
fire box boiler heating a dwelling with
250 feet of radiation and a lean-to green-
house 9x28 in which there are three lines
of l^^-inch pipe. The flow pipes are
covered from the boiler to the coils. How
much more glass will this boiler carry
safely to 60 degrees? W. F. S.

The No. 16 Hitchings boiler is rated
to carry 1,000 feet of 4-inch pipe,
which is equivalent to 1,100 feet of ra-
diation. If voir now have 250 feet of ra-
diation in your house and 120 feet in
the greenhouse 9x28, which is about
what it requires, your boiler is now
carrying 370 feet and its capacity is
about 1,100 feet. In other words, yon
have a working capacity of about 700
feet of radiation not now in use. This
will heat a greenhouse with about 3,000
feet of wall and roof space exposed. A
house eighteen feet wide and seventv
feet long, with side walls four feet high
would approximate this exposure.

ST. PAUL.

Christmas trade was good. Everything
was in demand, from a sprig of mistle-
toe to a long-stemmed Beauty. Holly
sold unusually well, the supply being
exhausted early. Lycopodium wreaths
and wreathing sold well but were not in
as great demand as in the past. The
attitude of some insurance companies
in refusing to insure stock where this
decorative is used has no doubt caused
a decrease in sales. Mistletoe of excel-
lent quality was abundant.

In the plant line dwarf poinsettias
in pans easily captured first honors.
Well grown red peppers sold well also.
Simon Mardner azaleas were in good
demand. Palms and ferns met with
quick sales but smaller flowering plants
lid not find buyers readily. Good Lor-
raine begonias sold fairly well but as
the blooms drop quickly after a few
hours in the heat they are not very
satisfactory Christmas plants. Hampers.
^vreaths, etc., were liberally supplied
with ribbon. Some light colored ham-
pers from Philadelphia were the most
unique ever seen in this market.

The supply of cut flowers was about
equal to the demand. The home grow-
ers all had good crops and realized
handsome prices for same. May & Co.
had some extra choice Chatenay roses
which sold quickly at $5 per dozen.
There was a good call for Beauties at
$8 to $18 per dozen. Carnations were
somewhat short of the demand, with
prices well maintained. Flamingo is a
most handsome variety for Christmas.
Enchantress retailed as high as $3 per
dozen.

New 5fear'.s trade was good, violets
and Beauties being the most popular of
any.

Pine Bluff, Ark. — Two days bofore
Christmas a heavy fall of rain made
the streets almost impassable, but on
Saturday morning it was clear and
warm- The streets were crowded until
late at night. Business was good but
buying late. Carnations had the lead,
with narcissi a close second. Prices were
better than ever before, about twenty
per cent increase. Some carnations
showed evidence of the pickling process.
On Christmas night it began to rain
and has been steady for sixteen hours
and no outlook for it to stop. Trade
has been above the average all the sea-
son and A. A. Harper says the outlook
for business is good.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

JANCABY'5, 1905.

TAUNTON, MASS.

Christmas trade was the best in years.
Everything in the way of flowering
plants cleaned out and a much better
grade sold than in any previous year.
Plants in the strongest demand were
Begonia (jloire de Lorraine; azaleas and
poinsettias. Of all these more could
have been disposed of. Primulas and
cyclamens also sold quite well. There
was a moderate call for palms and other
foliage plants, but flowering stuff" had
the principal call.

In cut flowers carnations were once
more the favorites. Popular prices were
75 cents to $1 per dozen. The supply
was much below the demand. Only a
few good chrysanthemums, such as Mer-
ry Christmas, were in evidence. For
some reason violets were not called for
so much as in previous years. Rases,
lily of the valley and Roman hyacinths
sold quite well, but carnations far out-
classed all others in popularity.

Willard & Williams, of the Taunton
Greenhouses, had by far the best Christ-
mas trade in their experience and sold
more expensive plants and a higher
grade of cut flowers than in preceding
years. They were pretty well cleaned
out of everything salable.

Oscar Kristenson ha* a very fine show
of Lorraine begonias in one of his green-
houses at present. W. N. C.

EtKHART, Ind. — ^W. H. Troyer, who
has been growing lettuce, has decided to
abandon this crop and put all of his 15,-
OUO feet of glass into cut flowers for next
season.

PACIFIC COAST.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market

Christmas has come and gone and we
still have delightful weather. Business
was very quiet until about Thursday of
Christmas week when all of a sudden
it took a tremendous bound and, as I
write, I think it is safe to say we have
had the most satisfactory trade that
has visited this part of the world for
many years. Not that flowers brought
fancy prices, for as a matter of fact
they did not, but owing to the heavy
steady demand on Thursday, Friday and
Saturday the stores had no difficulty in
selling everything they could get hold
of at very fair prices. The supply was
almost without limit and the demand
was out of all proportion to that we
have experienced during the last few
years and as a consequence I think
everyone is well satisfied. Green stuff
of all kinds was handled by the wagon
load and the fact that this class of stock
was within the reach of everyone seemed
to be decidedly in its favor and thou-
sands of dollars worth changed hands
on very short notice.

The prices obtained by the growers
were fully twenty-five per cent lower than
those of the past few years but the in-
creased demand and the large quantities
that were cut on account of the mild-
ness of the weather more than made up
the difference. There was some short-
age of roses and fancy stock was not
quite plentiful enough, but with carna-
tions, valley, poinsettias, violets and
bulbous stock we had an abundance and
everything sold.

Various Notes.

The Holland Nursery Co., of Elmhurst,
had a very large cut of valley during
Christmas week and disposed of it all
at good prices.

D. R. Lenox, of Los Angeles, is load-
ing a car of ornamental stock from the
Pacific iNurseries at Millbrae.

James Skinner, of Portland, Ore., dis-
posed of four carloads of Oregon fir
Christmas trees to the local dealers.

A. Mann, Jr., the Polk street florist,
has made a specialty this season of Los
Angeles poinsettias and handled over 25,-
000 of the cut blooms.

J. E. Gould, of Fruitvale, had an ex-
tra fine cut of Enchantress and R<w)se-
velt carnations for Christmas. G.

PORTLAND, ORE.

The Christmas Trade.

Early in the week the public was out
in full force merely to shop and there
was some speculation as to how the
week would terminate, but Thursday,
Friday and Saturday there was a regu-
lar stampede and by six o'clock Satur-
day night everybody had sold out clean.

We cannot .<?ay that there was any
great increase over last year. On some
lines of goods the profits were larger
<ind there is general satisfaction. The
storemen made lavish display of choice
flowers and the latest novelties intro-
duced by the leading supply houses of
the east. The window attractions were
right up-to-date and the talk of the

town. Bed bells were again much iu
evidence and proved as strong a feature
and sold even better than they did a
}tar ago. The supply of cut flowers was
about equal to the demand, with the ex-
ception of carnations, which are the most
popular flowers here, and we were ob-
liged to boost the price on the staple
frticles in order to more equalize the
sales on the other stock. Everything cut
locaJly was clean and well done and u
credit to the growers, as nowhere in the
country are the elements more trying
than around Portland. A few hundred
finely grown chrysanthemums seen at dhc

of the leading stores created much fav-
orable comment and sold from $5 to $8

bunch. On bulbous stuff ordinary prices
prevailed. There was the usual variety
of potted plants. Begonia Lorraine,
azaleas, cyclamens and primroses all
dressed up in the latest Christmas ap-
parel brought most satisfactory prices
and there was none left unsold. It was
very noticeable that a well flowered plant
created as much admiration as did a
vase of fine carnations.

About the same amount of "green
goods" was sold as in past years. Mis-
tletoe from southern Oregon arrived in
perfect condition, but holly was inferior.
Loose sprays sold for $1 per yard and
wreaths at $1.50 each. Oregon grape,
Berberis aquifolium, which grows so
plentifully only a few miles from town,
is as extensively used here for decora-
tive purposes as ground pine is in the
east. Oregon grape is merely a local
name for this most useful and beautiful
foliage and the Commercial Club shipped
fifty boxes to noted men in the east,
including F'resident Kocsevelt and liifi
cabinet. H. J. M.

CHRISTMAS GREENS.

It is surprising the tremendous trade
that has sprung up during the past few
years in the gathering and selling of
native greens, ferns and berries. It is
only within the past five or six years
that the demand has been developed to
such an extent that it now becomes neces-
sary to travel farther and farther into
the woods to be able to get these ar-
ticles in sufficient quantity to make their
gathering profitable.

The native wild huckleberry stems are
the most in demand, being that they are
in season throughout the entire year.

They are gathered in the wooded sec-
tions of the counties north of San Fran-
cisco where there is considerable more
moisture than they have in that neigh-
borhood. Owing to the ruthless manner
in which this valuable green has been
gathered by the Italians, who handle
this portion of the trade almost exclu-
sively, it will be only a few years until
it will be hard to secure.

The California red berry is next on the
list in importance and the berries are
gathered from the middle of November
until the end of January. They cost
the florists on an average of $50 per ton
and it is safe to say there were upwards
of 500 tons sold in San Francisco dur-
ing Christmas week. Each succeeding
year finds them only plentiful in the
more remote localities.

We have several varieties of native
ferns that are of considerable value and
now that the rainy season is here they
will be very abundant until the end of
.spring. The .woodvvardias and adian-
tums are the most desirable and many
thousands of bunches are disposed of
daily in the various flower stores. The
common fango, or marsh grass, is plen-
tiful on most of our swampy lands and
is quite valuable as an article of decora-
tion. It is cut in bundles each contain-
ing about 500 stems and costs the retail-
ers about $3 per dozen bunches.

Berried holly is scarce in California.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

Januaby 5, 1905.

The best comes from British Columbia
and costs the florists $16.50 per barrel
of twenty-five pounds. We imported
considerable native holly from Chicago
ajid various eastern points. It cost orig-
inally $4 per case but the express
chargies to San Francisco averaged $8
per case, which makes it rather expen-
sive to handle, Oregon grape root is a
valuable article at this season of the
year. It grows plentifully in Oregon
and northern California and colors up
brightly with the advent of frosty weath-
er. When cut, it usually takes the plants
about three years to grow enough so
that they can be gathered again.

Mistletoe was very abundant and of
good quality this season. It cost the re-
tailers about 25 cents per pound, packed
in barrels, each containing about twenty
"to twenty-five pounds.

The demand for wild greens of various
kinds is yearly becoming greater and
retailers, who a few years ago char-
acterized such material as rubbish, now
give considerable space on their shelves
and in their window displays to the va-
rieties I have described. G.

Washington, Pa. — J. S. Salmons, of
the Washington Floral Co., says holiday
trade was a fourth greater than in 1903.
■Carnations were the best selling cut
flowers, azaleas and begonias the most
popular plants.

SCRANTON, Pa. — The florists in Scran-
ton were very busy through the holidays
and had a very fine display of plants
and cut flowers and red paper bells,
■which were very effective, especially the
firm of G. R. Clark & Co., of Washing-
ton avenue. Wm. Clark also had a new
fancy cut flower wagon on the street,
■which goes to show that things are look-
ing up with this enterprising firm.

RED SPORT

Tbis new "Bread and Butter" commercial brilliant "Crane" Red Carnation, now in its fourth
year, has the hardy constitution of Qeneral Maceo, with a stronger heavier growth, longer and stiSer
stem and a larger flower. Growing under tbe same conditions and in tbe same bouse with Flamingo
and Estelle it has produced four times as many blooms as tbe former and twice as many blooms as
the latter. Tbe color is as good as Estelle and tbe bloom brings as much as does Estelle at its best.
Every flower is of a uniform brilliant red, perfectly double with an ideal calyx, in fact we never saw
a split one.

Bed Sport is perfectly healthy, an easy variety to grow, an early and continuous bloomer,
throwing its heaviest cuts around tbe Christmas holidays and during tbe Winter months when red is
in demand. Bad Sport will keep longer and travel farther than any other red carnation, and will
prove a bonanza to tbe grower who does a shipping business. If the scarcity of red<* in tbe market
that now exists continues Bed Sport will pay better to tbe square foot of bench than any otber
variety of any color to date. Every florist who has seen Bed Sport growing has placed an order
for rooted cuttings, which tells the tale. All our stock is sold up to January 2Hb. Orders tilled in
strict rotation from that date on. Price. 12 for 11.50, 26 for $2.50. 60 for $4.00 all post paid. $6.00 per 100,
$50.00 per 1000, by express. We guarantee all cuttings to be well rooted and to arrive in good condition.

The Weekly Rorists^ Review*

JAMCABT 6. 190S,

OMAHA«

Weather conditions prior to Christmas
were ideal, plenty of sunshine and warm.
Trade prospects were fine, with every
hope for a very fin© business. Conditions
were such that people could get out on
the street without inconvenience and this
naturally brought buyers that ordinarily
would not reach the flower shop.

Stock was not overplentiful, probably
because of the unusual demand. Car-
nations were in their prime, with excel-
lent color. Beauties, while not as plen-
tiful as a year ago, brought better
prices. Mscellaneous stock was abun-
dant and brought fair prices. The price
of cut flowers inclined to stiffen and
held all along the line and averaged
higher than for several years. This ap-
plies principally to carnations for which
there was an unprecedented demand.

Plants were in great demand. Every-
thing in pots went. Some stores did
well on palms and ferns and a store
in the next square sold few of them,
but many of plants in bloom. Begonia
Gloire de Lorraine held first place. Those
who handled them did well and cleared
their stores of them early, necessitating
a fresh stock. Azaleas were inclined to
be backward in blooming and not near-
ly aa many could be brought in as usual.
But this was made up for by selling
something else.

The writer has reason to believe that
everybody is well satisfied. One store-
man says his business is thirty per cent
better than a year ago, another twenty-
five per cent better, and so all along.

SWEET PEAS.

Can some brother florist tell us some-
thing about Earliest of All sweet pea?
We have never grown it before and
planted it quite heavily this fall. Some
of the vines are six feet high and are
coming into bloom, but the trouble is the
stems are only three to four inches long.
Would they do better if we feed them
or will they come better later on? We
thought of sowing seed of Blanche Ferry
among the vines, so that if the Earliest
of All did not improve we could cut
them out and have the Blanche Ferry
to take their place. Can it be done that
way? The temperature is 48 to 50
degrees at night, 60 to 65 degrees in the
day time. A. B. C.

This is the chief trouble with this
pea and it rarely, even under the best
conditions, reaches more than six inches
in stem. However, after the first blooms
are cut the later blooms reach out a
little more. Feeding liquid is essential
to good quality in bloom and will likely
also help the stems. I have had best
success by raising the temperature to 54
degrees at night after the buds begin
to appear.

It is not good policy to sow Blanche
Ferry among the older crop. Sow them
in small pota and transplant when readv.
after preparing the bench or border, and
success is assured. R.

SOILS.

I send five samples of soil. Please
tell me through the Review what you
think of each for growing roses and car-
nations. Samples Nos. 1 and 5 are from
beds of Bride, one sample from where the
plants all took sick and died, the other
from where they are doing better, but are
rather weak in growth and stem. Sample
No. 2 is from a Beauty bed. I also

grow caroations in the same soil, but
use leas manure. Samples Nos. 4 and
5 are from pasture lands in the outskirts
of the city where I can get soil from
greenhouses by buying the land at the
rate of $500 per acre, S. S. B.

Sample No. 1 is a very poor soil and
unsuited for either roses or carnations.
Sample No. 2 is also poor. Sample No.
3 is a real good soil for either purpose
and if composted properly, and about
one-fifth of decomposed cow manure add-
ed, is capable of producing high grade
stock. No. 4 is also a good soil, though
not nearly so good as No. 3. No. 5
18 a very poor soil and not worthy of be-
ing used for any greenhouse purpose ex-
cept possibly to make walks with. 1 am
satisfied that if you use No. 3 and handle
your stock skillfully you will have no
reason to complain of weak growth.

DUNNVILLE, ONT.

Christmas trade in this locality was
away above the average especiallv in
the line of cut flowers. While the' dull
weather made the cut of carnations a
little light, yet prices were good and all
sold out clean-. Roses were of extra fine
quality and sold well. Potted plants
were not in as large a demand as last
season, but cut flowers were ahead. It is
safe to say this Christmas was 100 per
cent ahead of 1903.

PIPE FOR RADIATION.

Please teU us the best kind of pipe
for use in heating greenhouses, galvan-
ized or black pipe. H. A. F.

Galvanized pipe is seldom if ever used
for heating purposes. It is more ex-
pensive than black pipe, which is a
point in favor of black pipe. In addi-
tion to this the coating of tin and lead
used in galvanizing the pipe acts the
same as a coat of paint or as any other
covering to cut down the heating power
of the pipe. The black pipe will give
off more heat per unit of area than will
the galvanized pipe, and for that rea-
son, if for no other, its use would be
preferable. L. C. C.

PITTSBURG.

The Market.

Trade lias been somewhat quiet since
Christmas, excepting a few large deco-
rations, until Saturday when we had an
unusually good New Year's business, not
large orders, but evidently just enough
prosperity to allow almost everyone to
have a few flowers on his table for New
Year's. The weather was exceptionally
fine Saturday, being almost like a spring
day which allowed everyone to get out
and this probably accounted for the ex-
tra trade. Few of the storep had made
preparations for the extra run but they
got all the stock they wanted, as we now
have three wholesalers and it is always
possible to raise something among them.

Various Notes.

The new conservatories donated to the
western penitentiary were opened last
Saturday. After marching the 900 pris-
oners through them they returned to the
chapel where there were about fifty vis-
itors, including Wm. Falconer. The pris-
oners take great interest in the conserv-
atories and are plea.sed and thankful to
the donor. Henry Phipps, for helping
them to some of the good and beautiful
things of the outride world.

Wm. Cromack, of Irwin, will move his
greenhouses from their present location
one mile east and add two new ones.

J. W. Elliott, president of the Klliott
Nursery Co.. has purchased and moved
into a new home in Sewicklcy.

AMERICAN CARNATION SOCIETY.

Department of Reg:istration.

Baur & Smith, Indiaaapolis, register:
Beatrice; this might be called a light
pink Dorothy except that the blooma
come much larger; habit of growth,
length of stem and form of flower re-
semble that variety closely; the color
is a beautiful shade of Daybreak piuk,
a full shade lighter than that variety;
strong growth and never bursts. Flam-
beau, large round blooms on strong
stems; strong growth and free bloomer;
stands hot weather best of any scarlet
we have ever grown ; color a shade deeper
than Crane.

Parties having new carnations should
submit the name intended for use to
the Carnation Society before having it
printed in any shape, so as to avoid
duplication as far as practical.

Albert M. Herr, Sec'y.

Plans for entertaining the members of the
Carnation Society at Cblcago January 26 and
26. are well under way. P. J. Hauswlrtb has
kindly consented to act as exhibition manager.
The cihlbitlon should eclipse all previous
ones of the American Carnation Society.

Chicago bad the convention seven years ago,
but since that time that city has increased Its
plantings of carnations to over a million plants,
so that our first Exhibition is really a baby In
comparison to the coming one. Joliet did not
grow a carnation at that time; neither did
Bassett & Washburn, Peter Relnberg or Wel-
land & Rlsch, all of whom are now large
exhibitors. Joliet alone sent 7,000 blooms to
last year's show at Detroit. I estimate the
number of blooms that will be staged at Chi-
cago at 20.000, a sight that will be well worth
coming a long way to see. In fact, no grower
of carnations can afford to stay away. Every-
one, big or little, will find it a very profitable
trip. One can see for himself all the new
varieties, take notes and decide which ones he
wants to grow for his own particular trade.

No doubt there will be many new exhibitors
who will be warmly welcomed Into the fold.
If yon have some of the standard varieties in
good shape, bring them along and compare them
with the best in the land. If you have a
flower or a few flowers of a seedling or a sport,
bring them along also, even though yon have
not enough to enter In a class; you can get
—the opinion of the best growers as to their
value.

Are yon a member of the society? If not
yon should be; $2 sent to the secretary, Albert
M. Herr, Lancaster, Pa., will do the business.
A small Item, surely, for the benefits received.
Don't put It oft but send your name and ad-
dress with f2 enclosed at once.

The exhibition takes place in the large ban-
quet hall of the Auditorium. Chicago. An Ideal
place, overlooking Lske Michigan. The banquet
will be held In the same building. You can
also secure rooms there; therefore. If the
weather should be Inclement, It will not be
necessary to go outside for anything daring the
two days.

Many visitors will want to stay s day or two
longer to see the larger establishments they
have read about w seen pictures of. That yon
will receive a cordial welcome from all and
be well taken care of Is a foregone conclusion.

WHAT WE CLAIM
FOR OUR

NEW RED ROSE

RICHMOND

That It is the Best
Red Forcinif Varie-
ty yet Produced.

1st. It SB of strong and rapid growth* more vigorous than
any other forcing variety in commerce.

2nd. It comes to perfection without special care or culture
and can be grown in the same soil and temperature and
with the same treatment given to Bride and Maid.

8rd. It ships perfectly, as it can be cut very tight and devel-
ops as well off as on the bush.

4th. Has very near the same tone of color as Liberty, with
more scarlet and does not blue with age.

Was awarded the silver cup at the World's Fair for

6tb. This variety is nearly a pure tea, being seeded from
LADY BATTERSE A, fertilized by LIBERTY, and as
a result has shown no tendency toward going dormant in
mid- winter, at which time the variety is at its very best

6th. Produces freely throughout the year, long pointed bud^
on tall straight stems with elegant dark foliage.

7th. Is as easy to root, and grafts as readily as Bride or Maid.

Stfar' Has as delicious a fragrance as American Beauty.

t!^Sf"our seedling carnations

INDIANA MARKET.

A 8«edliDK from Flora Hill and White Oloud. We have been
KrowioR thie variety the past four years, and now it is our main cut
flower white. The blooms are nicely rounded and deeply serrated,
which gives it a beautiful, feathery appearance when in a bunch.
As good in hot weather as IT. Hill, and a fine winter bloomer,
retaining its round form throughout the season and does not burst.
An all the year round white. Blooms fine in the field in summer.
A splendid keeper and pure white. Size 2>^ to 3 inches.

FLAMBEAU.

Flora Hill x Jubilee. No scarlet up to date stands hot weather
like this variety, owing to its F. Hill blood. A good, strong grower

and steady bloomer. Color a f hade lighter than Jubilee. Round
form and slightly serrated, and a fine keeper. A strictly commercial
scarlet of great promise.

BEATRICE.

Easily the freest blooming and most profitable light pink carna-
tion we have ever grown. Comes iito bloom early and continues
steady throughout the season. Might be called a light pink
Dorothy except that the bloom comes considerably larger. The
growth stem and form of the bloom resemble that variety, while the
color Is a beautiful shade of light pink, a full shade brighter than
Daybreak, and holds its color splendidly. Visitors at our place are
at once attracted by its beautiful color. Not a giant exhibition
sort, but a steady bread and butter variety. A fine keeper and
never bursts. Also a splendid summer bloomer.

Both this season and last, these varieties have been our main varieties for cat blooms in their respective colors, and they have sold
up clean when others bad to be sacrificed. All three were awarded Certificates of Merit on November 15, 1901. by the State Society of
Indiana Florists. We are booking orders for February delivery. January delivery all sold. Get your order in at once.

THE HISTORY AND CULTURE OF

GRAFTED ROSES m FORCING

BY ALEXANDER MONTGOMERY, jh..
WABAN ROSE CONSERVATORIES, NATICK, MASS.

COPYRIGHT, 1904. BY FLORISTS' PUBLISHING CO

Cultural Methods.

Presuming that I may have inspired
in some at least a desire to make a
trial of grafted roses, I will take up
the details of making the grafts
and the subsequent handling of the
I>la.nts. The 'process of making the
grafts will be given in considerable
(ietail, as it is the basis for success,
the after care of the grafted and own-
root plants differing in but few par-
ticulars. To begin at the beginning:

Procuring the Stocks*

As the best stocks at present come
from Britain, I should advise giving an
order to some reliable nurseryman.
This should be done during the summer
preceding the fall when the stocks
are to be delivered. The next thing to
do is to keep posted on the exact date
of the shipment and arrival of the
same, and if one cannot be around per-
sonally to see that they are rushed
through the custom house, this import-
ant work should be intrusted to a brok-
er in whom one may have confidence,
with instructions to see that the ship-
ment is delivered as quickly as possible
after arrival. I have no doubt but
that many thousands of stocks have
been ruined beyond recovery by being
left lying carelessly around warehouses
in boxes with covers off, exposed to
drying winds, thus allowing them to
shrivel up long before they reach the
grower. In the cases of small growers
living in the same section, it would
seem to be advisable to club together
and have their separate orders sent as
one large shipment. This would un-
doubtedly cheapen the cost of shipment
as well as facilitate the delivery of
the goods.

It mu.st not be understood, however,
that early lifted stocks, as a rule, are rec-
ommended, for nothing will give the
grower more trouble than a lot of green
Manetti that have been shipped before
they were thoroughly ripened. Tliey will
almost cfrtainly shrivel up and no
amount of care that is bestowed on them
will be able to prevent this, flenerally
speaking, it will be after the middle of
December before first-class Manetti can
reach this country from Britain.

Heel in at Once.

On the arrival of the stocks, if they
have been properly packed, the bun-
dles will be slightly moist and the
stocks should appear fresh and plump.
Now right here is the very place where
many beginners have made great fail-
ures, and straightway blamed their
dealers for sending poor stuff. There
may be, and undoubtedly are, many ex-
cellent ways of handling Manetti at
this particular stage, but the one I
mention has given very satisfactory

results and beginners would do well to
follow it. All packing or covering
should be removed from the bundles
and the stocks immediately plunged in
trenches in soil to two-thirds of their
depth and given a thorough watering.

they will be ready for potting, but
if they are kept cool, and about 40
degrees is right, there need be no hurry
about the matter as they ought to keep
in this condition for at least a month;
and if two or three batches are potted
each week they will come along in
about the right quantity for grafting.
If the stocks are allowed to remain
in the trenches until they have just
started to make white rootlets they will
generally take root more quickly when
potted. Two and one-half inch pots are
the proper size to use and, indeed, if
the stocks are properly rooted this size
will be found quite small enough, for
it must be remembered we expect to
have a good-sized plant on the stock
before it is ready for a shift to a S'^/j-
inch pot. Pot good and firm, firmer
than you would rooted cuttings; water

taking care to wash the soil well in
about the roots. It is not necessary to
plunge the stocks separately; they will
do just as well in bundles, if all cover-
ing is taken off.

Potting Up.
In from four or five days to a week

thoroughly and place in a house with a
temperature of 45 degrees at night to
50 degrees in the day. Do not water
again until you are absolutely certain
they need it, or, I might better say, so
long as the soil remains moist they will
require no water at the roots. Dampen
the stems of the stocks three or four

times a day, according to the weather,
using a fine spray so that the pots may
not become soaked.

The Grafting Gtse.

Now, while waiting for the Manetti
to root, it is time to get a grafting
case ready and, although this need not
be an elaborate affair, there are a few
things that are very necessary. The
case must be tight; this is the first
and, I consider, the most important
item. It ought to have bottom heat so
that an even temperature of 75 degrees
can be maintained day and night. We
have had experience with all tempera-
tures from 90 degrees down to 75 de-
grees and have come to the conclusion
that To degrees is right.

The grafting case should have a fair
amount of light. A rose house is a
good place for a case during January
and February grafting, but it must be

on each side, hinged at the top; also in
a small case three feet ^ide, one sash,
eighteen inches high at the back and
twelve inches at the front. These I
should say would be the extremes in
size. Anything between would serve
the purpose very well, but my prefer-
ence would be for six inches to a foot
of head room over the stocks when
grafted.

Of course there are many notions and
frills which may be added to suit the
fancy of the builder, but I shall re-
peat the necessary points: First, have
the case tight, not pretty tight nor
anything but very tight. Second, have
bottom heat and, third, have direct
light. Put in two or three inches of
coal ashes or sand, pound firmly and
wet thoroughly, for this, it must be re-
membered, is where the necessary mois-
ture is coming from for the first few
days. If all instructions have been

shaded from the strong sun during the
middle of the day, with some thin
material that will not shut out all the
light; newspapers are very satisfactory
for a man who doesn't wish to waste
money. A north propagating house can
be used with good results during
March, when rose houses are becoming
too hot for the best work.
y In regard to size, this is not so im-
portant. We have done good work
with a case seven feet wide, two feet
high in the middle, eXren span, one sash

ROSES.

Gu-e in Propagating.

The care of the propagating house
should now be one of the most import-
ant duties because from the quaUty of
the stock raised in this house depends
the success of the crops, and any care-

lessness, neglect or unskilled treatment
accorded to the stock at this stage will
be reflected during the after life of the
plant.

Many of the uls which trouble the
plants during the winter months are
contracted while they are yet cuttings
in the bench and though they may seem-
ingly recover from the checks received
there by the good treatment given them
while in pots and after being benched,
the fact must never be forgotten that
this check reduced the vitaUty at the
time when vigor was most required to
lay the foundation of a good root ac-
tion.

To avoid extreme and sudden fluctua-
tions of temperature in the propagating
house requires unceasing care, especially
where the house is low and the benches
. raised so as to be near the glass, as the
cold air from the outside is apt to fall
on the cuttings before being modified by
the temperature of the house.

It can be readily seen that with the
temperature of the sand at 62 degrees
and a house temperature 10 degrees
lower, where the house is small gr6at
care must be taken to keep a steady
temperature and that it is liable to
either a sudden raise or fall at short
notice.

The question of moisture also requires
careful consideration and thel grower
has to be guided by the weather. It is,
however, a wise plan to keep on the safe
side by having plenty of moisture and
if the sand in the benches does not re-
quire moistening every day during the
dark weather the paths can be moistened
frequently, thus securing a sufficiency to
preserve the leaves in good condition
until root formation has progressed far
enough to give the supply.

Shading should be attended to in
order to prevent any vfilting of the
foliage, as the leaves being so much
softer after a prolonged spell of dark,
cloudy weather, are more liable to suffer
when they are exposed to a sudden burst
of sunshine.

Have a supply of soil in good con-
dition, so that the young plants may
receive no check by being potted in
cold, wet soil. The soil for first potting
should be as near the temperature of the
sand in the cutting bench as possible so
that the tender young rootlets may be
neither chilled nor scorched.

The temperature of the potting shed
should also be a matter of consideration
as exposure to a high dry temperature is
just as fatal to these tender members
as exposure to too low a temperature,
and of course too long an exposure to
even the right temperature is equally
fatal. BiBKS.

We are sending you two sample rose

weather began, and 65 to 70 degrees in
the daytime. In August they had a aose
of mildew, which spread through six con-
tinuous houses, the worst affeoted house
being a house of Brides planted with
grafted stock. They were without flres
several nights in August and July, wben
it was needed. We began firing the mid-
dle of August. They were given close
care to eradicate the mildew, but it held
on more stubbornly than we have ever had
it do before. Again in October the plants
made a nice growth. About the last of
October they began to go back, dropping
their leaves badly, and looking very bad.
Ever since the blooms have been off color,
the foliage a bad color, and absolutely
no growth from the base anywhere in the
houses; almost none at the top. We have
held them on the dry side during this ill-
ness and tried to get them to a point
where they would stand watering freely,
but have hardly got them to budge. I'hey
seem to stand stock still. They have
never been overwatered, never had a se-
vere chilling, as a registering thermome-
ter has been used and we have a careful
night fireman. Steam heat is used. The
growers cannot satisfy themselves what is
the matter, or what the treatment ought
to be, as we have other houses in the same
kind of soil and under the same growers
doing well. Please give us your ideas of
the trouble, and the best course to pur-
sue. G. & a.

The samples of soil are all of good
quality and capable of raising high grade
roses. The soil from house No. 12 is a
fairly good soil though not quite so rich
and suited for roses as that from No.
14, which is a most excellent soil and as
near the rose growers' ideal as possible,
and much superior to the sample of black
prairie soil in the package.

The trouble with these roses is, I am
sorry to state, one of the worst that can
befall them. They are infested with that
much dreaded scourge, eel worm, which
when it has once obtained a good foot-

hold is one of the worst troubles known
to the grower, because there is no remedy
which can be applied without destroying
the plants and because it rarely manifests
itself until the season is too far advanced
to allow of the only remedy being ad-
ministered with profit, and that is to
throw out all the plants and soil, cleanse
the house and replant with fresh, vigorous
stock.

This nematode is found everywhere, in
salt and fresh water, in damp earth and
moss and among decaying substances and
is always present in rose soils. They are
always minute and require a microscope
of Mgh power to detect them. Their
mode of attacking the rose plant is to
encyst themselves in the fibre of the small
feeding roots. Around these small cysts
tubercles form which sometimes grow as
large as a grain of barley but are often
very much smaller. If these are opened
they will be found to contain from one
to five small worms, which much re-
semble eels, hence the name. They are
too minute to be detected by the ordinary
naked eye but the tubercles can be seen
if the soil is carefully washed off the
roots.

Like many other lower forms of ani-
mal life they are capable of retaining
their vitality for a long period, even un-
der the most seeming adverse conditions,
which accounts for their wide distribu-
tion. Like most other pests they are
more liable to confine their ravages to
those plants in which the vitality is low,
and seldom, if ever, attack a house of
well handled, vigorous stock. The fact
that these roses were reduced in vitality
by the severe and long continued attack
of mildew may in a measure account for
this and possibly the stock may not have
been very vigorous at the start.

It would be unwise to propagate from
such stock, as the vitality is low *ind
any young stock from them would be
liable to fall a prey to this or any other
trouble during the short days when root
action would be sluggish. Eibes

AZALEA MOLLIS.

Please give the treatment required in
the growing of Azalea mollis to have it
in bloom at Easter. I have not grown
it before. W. W.

These plants as soon as received should
have the balls thoroughly soaked and,
after allowing them to drip, they should
be potted in any good garden soil. They
should then be put into a cool pit or
frame and protected from severe frost.
To have them in bloom at Easter they
should be brought into the house and
for the first two weeks be exposed to a
temperature of about 50 degrees. When
they begin to show signs of moving the
temperature should be gradually raised
till it reaches 55 degrees. They require
usually six or seven weeks of this treat-
ment to bring them into bloom. R.

TOWN WANTS A FLOftlST.

The Commercial Club of Larned, Kan.,
is promoting an effort to build a com-
mercial greenhouse to grow plants and
cut flowers and would be glad to get
a good florist, who has some money, to
come and take charge of the building
and run in for all there is in it. This
is a splendid location, not a greenhouse
nearer than seventy miles, a number of
flourishing towns near and demand con-
stantly increasing. I only have a small
greenhouse and do not care to bother
with it. I will give all needed informa-
tion to anyone who writes to me.

PANSIES.

Please tell us how to make pansies
bloom and bear flowers on long stems;
heat, soil, water, care, etc. C. S. T.

To secure a crop of pansy blooms in
the greenhouse during the winter months,
the seed should be sown early in August
and should be shaded until the plants are
showing the character leaf. As soon as

the plants are large enough to Bear
handling they should be transplanted
into a cold frame, giving each plant at
least three inches of space. Before the
frost has had a chance to give thern a
check they should be transplanted into a
bench having three inches of a light,
sandy soil which should be enriched with
decomposed manure in the proportion of
one of manure to four of soil.

As the pansy is a water-loving plant,
good drainage must be provided to pre-
vent the soil from becoming sodden, as
this will certainly ruin the crop. The
pansy, being a native of northern Europe,
requires a low temperature and does best
at 45 degrees at night. During bright
sunshine the temperature may be allowed
to run up to 60 degrees but this must be
accompanied by plenty of ventilation.
By giving them a place on the bench
where they will have a maximum of sun-
light and taking care that they never
suffer from want of water, a good crop
can be had, even during the darkest
weather.

By selecting a good strain of seed, one
which has a habit of producing long
flower stems, and selecting seed from
such each year you can secure a strain
to suit your purpose. R.

BULBOUS STOCK FOR EASTER.

Kindly tell us the length of time re-
quired to bring tulips, daffodils and nar-
cissi into bloom. They are now in epld
frames without heat, potted in ^gtwnber
and are apparently well rooted. ^IR 6ave

January or February in a temperature of
60 degrees would require from twenty-one
to twenty-eight days for tulips and Paper
Whites, and about a week longer for
daffodils; 60 degrees is rather a high
temperature in which to produce {;ood
flowers with stiff stems; 55 degrees is
much better.

Easter being late this year, the trouble
with this class of stock will be in hold-
ing it back and the only way to gauge the
time to have them in bloom at that date
will be to watch them closely and exer-
cise your best judgment, as much depends
on the kind of weather we may have at
that time. K.

AN AMERICAN ROSARIAN.

The widely varying uses whit-h men
make of equal opportunities is a con-
stant subject for interested study for all
those who have the slightest strain of
philosoj)hy in their make-up. And oppor-
tunity is not always that object well
clothed with hirsute before but very
bald behind, as some would have us be-
lieve, to be grasped in the fleeting or
forever lost. Rather is opportunity the
chance given all men to work out eacii
for himself the <lestiny toward which
his nature leads. Starting at a common
point, to wliat oj)posite goals do we make
our way, and to what various uses do we
put the objects and occurences encount-
ered on our journey! Each will use the
material in his own way, and after his
own fashion achieve a varying degree of
success. It will be remembered that so
simple a thing as an apple played a large
part in the lives and fortunes of at least
three men who will live in history for
the various uses to which tliey put the
fruit, Old Adam, William Tell and Sir
Isaac Newton.

And so it is in the history of our trade,
(liven a tiny greenhouse, one man expands
it into a great range of glass, while
another lets it go into decay. One grows
vegetables, because of less necessity for
skill and application, while another grows
Beauties because the <liflficulties in the
path to success bring richer rewards when
won. Still another plants, and water?,
and reaps, purely for the harvest of dol-
lars, while his neighbor, content with
a reasonable number of the comforts
which money brings, turns with interest
to those branches of our profession which
add to the sum of human happiness.
Among these latter E. Gnrney Hill has
won his place by the success which has
attended his many years of careful hy-
bridization.

If he is to be applauded wlio makes
two blades of grass grow wiiere hut one
grew before, how much greater place in
our honor is due the man who makes two
rose blooms grow where but one grew
before. The greenhouses of the Hill
Company are largely given over to the
raising and trial of improved varieties
and their distribution to the Amercan
trade. Mr. Hill says the tendency is to-

E. Gurney Hill.

ward a still further reduction of the
space given to staples and a specializa-
tion on novelties.

In the autumn, interest centers on the
chrysanthemums, wl|ich constitute one
of the largest collections in the United
States. Not only are all the European
and American novelties tried, but many
seedlings are raised. The list of varieties
recently published by the (!hrysanthemum
Society of America names the Hill Com-
pany as raiser of dozens and introducer
of scores of one-time favorites, many
of which are still in the race with the
newer sorts. This year tlie leader of
their set is a French variety. Mile. Jean-
nie Nonin, a large white, which bids fair
to prolong the season for good flowers
well into December.

The Richmond Rose.

While the name of Hill is intimately
associated with the development of the
carnation, at the present moment interest
in the establishment centers in the new
roses. There are several benches of seed-
lings and new European sorts, which are
an interesting stu<ly, but these must ref^t
until the visitor has seen the new red
rose, which so good a grower and judge
of things floricultural as Wm. Duckham,
of Madison, N. J., .says will surely dis-
place Liberty as well as all others of its
color. This is Richmond, a seedlinfit
raised by Mr. Hill by crossing Ladv
Battersea with Liberty. It has little
advantage in color over Liberty, but is
so far superior in growth as to have
gained the warm endorsement of everyone
who has seen it growing. First, and
most important, it shows no tendency to
go dormant in the autumn, as does Lib-
erty, but blooms freely all winter, sur-
prising with its floriferousness those who

have watchetl it most solicitously. Com-
paring the season's cut with that of Lib-
erty, it is much larger; that can be seen
at a glance. Mr. Hill puts it in figures
which his associates declare are very con-
serAative but which look too big to be
credible and are hence told only to the
man wiio is on the spot and has the evi-
dence of the plants before his eyes.

A comparison of own-root grafted
plants is at present in favor of the own- ,
root stock. The grafts show few of tho^fc'
ground shoots which are springing up '*
so numerously on the own-root plants.
Indeed, these growths from the ground
are the wonder of all who see the plants.
The top growths, too, throw good stems
and after a flower has been cut the eye
is quick to break. The bud is long,
pointed, can be, and in fact, should be
cut tight, opens gracefully to a good
size, and the flower is delightfully fra-
grant. The petalage is the same as Lib-
erty.

Mr. Hill has Richmond in a house with
Bridesmaid, same soil, same temperature,
which spells good-bye to Meteor wherever
that variety is still grown. The soil is a
clay loam, with an admixture of leaf-
mold, and it is to be expected that in
other localities Richmond will be done
fully as well if not better. Incidentally
the visiting rose grower will note that on
an adjoining bench of Bridesmaid half
the plants are on their own roots, and
half grafted on Manetti. The line of
division is plainly apparent; growth is,
to try to reduce it to figures, at least
twenty per cent stronger on the grafted
plants. They are all on benches with
four inches of soil.

A year ago when Mr. Hill first owned
himself thoroughly convinced that he
had a good thing i(i Richmond (he called

it Etna then) he had sixty plants. Now
he has 5,000. The way they cut up those
sixty plants was a caution, but they are
still there and as healthy and vigorous as
you could ask. So is the new stock. Some
of the cuttings were put in the sand
as late as May 6, and are fine, strong
plants. A part of a bench planted from
thumb pots in October is now giving a
cut.

Since it was learned to cut the buds
tight shipments have been made to exhi-
bitions and club meetings all over the
country. The flowers traveled perfectly
and kept for days. Many retailers, like
Small & Son, at Washington, have asked
for regular shipments, but these, in view
of the necessity for propagating over
125,000 plants, could not be supplied.
The flowers Mr. Hill took to Washing-
ton on a recent trip, after they had
served his purpose, were sent by Smalls
to Mrs. Hay, wife of the Secretary of
State, and there is already an established
demand for Richmond at the capital.

Some of the blooms sent to the Boston
Gardeners' and Florists' Club meeting
December 20, graced Wm. Nicholson's
table at his Christmas dinner.

Other New Sorts.

To pass on to other varieties, a house
of Rosalind Orr English, a pink seedling
of Chatenay, raised on the place, is a
splendid sight. The growth is wonderful
and the cut large and continuous. This
rose will never displace any other, but
it will be popular in the way its parent
is. The cut of this house all goes to
Bertermann Bros., Indianapolis, and they
think highly of it. There are two other
red seedlings which are being tried,
Joe Hill and Robin Hood, which prom-
ise interesting developments. A cross
between White Lady and Kaiserin is
closely watched. But most interesting of
all is a first break from Beauty.

Among the scores of imported varie-
ties is one of Dickson's which is well
liked. It is Mildred Grant, winner of
the gold medal in ITngland for three suc-
cessive years. It is cream white, with
pink shading. Some who have tried it
under glass say it is very susceptible to
mildew, but it is not so here. Muriel

Graham is a beautiful thing, a light sport
from Catherine Menuiet, and poesessing
all the characteristics of its parent. Buds
of these two are but indifferently shown
in one of the accompanying illustrations.
Mrs. David McKee is one which Dickson
introduced as yellow, but here it is cream
white. There is an American variety,
Shellem's Pink, raised by John A. Shel-
lem, Philadelphia, of which great things
were expected, but which has proved a
disappointment as a forcing rose. It is
a cross of Maman Cochet and Kaiserin,
and, while it will not do in winter, Mr.
Hill thinks it a decided acquisition for
spring and summer.

In one house there are thousands upon
thousands of Manetti stocks potted up.
Each year 75,000 grafts are made. Fred
Lemon has immediate charge of this work.
He says that such a number rolls off
one's tongue very easily, but that the
operation itself is no inconsiderable task.
He prefers English to French Manetti,
and does not feel the need of the elab-
orate grafting case used in some places.
He takes a tight bench, builds sides of
matched lumber to the requisite heights,
partitions as wanted, covers with hot-bed
sash and loses only one or two per cent
of his grafts. When the sash do not fit
just as they should he stuffs the cracks
with damp moss to make the case tight.
He runs his case about 85 degrees.

In one house there is a nice lot of
the new French rose, Mme. Norbert Le-
vavaaseur popularly known in this coun-
try as the Baby Rambler. Mr. Hill says
it will be a gem for a bedder and as an
Easter pot plant. It is everblooming;
in fact, it blooms itself to death. In
connection with the circumstance that a
firm bought the American monopoly of
this rose only to find that it had reached
the trade here in large numbers through
prior dissemination in England, it is of
interest to know that Mr. Hill thinks he
had the first plants to reach this country.
An English friend, seeing the novelty,
sent him a dozen plants with his compli-
ments. A list from England recently
quoted this rose and Mr. Hill straight-
way cabled ; he got only 500 plants, but
they cost 8 cents apiece. Quotations
here are $35 per hundred and selling fast.

A big lot of hybrid roses are sold every
season and thousands of hardwood cut-
tings are now in the sand. One bench
contained over 40,000 cuttings of Rich-
mond, cool and rooting nicely. All the
young stock is grown cool here. They
don't believe in hurrying the rooting,,
even if they have one order for 100,000'
carnation cuttings, and each year need
more rose, carnation, chrysanthemum and
geranium stock than they can produce..
That's the result of not chasing the Al-
mighty Dollar too hard.

In Other Houses.

Speaking of carnations, several houses-
are grown and in fine shape. Mr. Hill
is thinking better of Flamingo as the-
season advances. He is going to plant
Prosperity more largely next year. Lady
Bountiful is a gem here. There is a fine
pink sport of Enchantress that will be
worked up. The sales on Cardinal are
very satisfactory. There are many seed-
lings under trial, too numerous to men-
tion, save one, a very large white,
which Mr. Hill thinks will just suit the-
growers in England, in whom he is in-
terested from the fact that each season
he sends many thousand cuttings across,
the water. American carnations are rap-
idly gaining in popularity there. They
are stUl generally grown in pots, but
some are applying American methods^ of
culture in growing for market.

The grower of miscellaneous stock
will find much to interest him at Hill's,
particularly in geraniums. All the Euro-
pean novelties are tried, and most of
them promptly discarded. But a liouse
given to plants for stock at all times con-
tains the cream of the varieties. Still
Mr. Hill says that nothing sells so well'
as the old S. A. Nutt.

Mr. Hill's Associates.

Mr. Hill has associated with him in
the company his son-in-law, Fred H.
Lemon, his son, Joseph Hill, and his^
sister, Sarah A. Hill, the latter in charge
of the office. It is an aggrega-
tion of talent rather beyond the
needs of the present range of
glass, and plans are being made to
enlarge the business to afford full scope-

for the energies of the younger men.
Land has been bought adjoining the
Pennsylvania railroad, where a large
and strictly up-to-date range of houses
will some day go up.

The ebullitions of some of the writers
for the humorous weeklies have created
the impression in many minds that
southern "Injiany" is one of the waste
places of the earth. Such is far from
the fact. It is a fair and prosperous
land, and Bichmond is a modern city of
wealth and refinement, inhabited by
progressive people, whose hospitality is
of such sincerity that those who are able
to visit her florists on their way to or
from the Chicago carnation meeting will
remember it as one of the most pleasant
experiences of their trip.

PANSIES DONT BLOOM.

Please inform a southern subscriber
why pansy plants bought in November,
1904, in full bloom, did not continue
blooming after they were planted in
cold frames, and given very rich soil,
manure from an old hot-bed, plenty of
air and good treatment generally. It is
impossible to grow plants here in the
fall early enough to bloom in winter,
owing to the very dry autumng in Ala-
bama. F. J. U.

PHYLLOCACTUS.

I am sending you a branch of cactus
with fruit on it. I think the sample is
sufficient to enable you to identify the
variety. This plant had a number of
such fruits. What is the variety, and
are they good to eatf In breaking open,
they seem to be deliciously flavored.

W. L.

The branch of cactus submitted with
this letter is of the species now called
phyllpcactus, of South American and
Mexican origin, (Cereus phyllanthus
and Cereus phyllanthoides of De Can-
dolle.) The phyllocactus is the most
ornamental and satisfactory of cacti.
Most fruits of the cactus order are edi-
ble, though all are not equally palatable.
These, however, seem to be deliciously
flavored. Even the fruit of the common
opnntia is said to be very fine in the
West Indies.

The phyllocactus has been so long a
favorite in cultivation that it has va-
ried into a multitude of colors, forms

and habits. The flowers are usually
large, brilliantly colored and elegantly
shaped and most forms are free bloom-
ers. A white-flowered, night-blooming
sort, P. latifrons, is called the queen
cactus. P. phyllanthoides, one of the
original species, was discovered by Hum-
boldt in South America and it has
been a prime favorite ever since its in-
troduction. The flowers are bright rose
color, streaked with white and shaded
with darked" red and about four inches
across. Over seventy-flve varieties of
phyllocatus are listed by cultivators.

PROPAGATING VIOLETS.

I have a bunch of Marie Louise vio-
lets growing in my lettuce house which
are doing finely, but, owing to the lack
of space, I ^all have to throw them out
and replant the bench with lettuce.
Could I take off some of the rooted
runners and pot them up into small pots
and thereby grow them on in pots until
time to plant them in the field, or would
you advise me to grow them straight on
in pots and plant in the bench about
April or Mayf N. O.

You can take off the rooted runners
and pot them up as you say. We al-
ways think it advisable, as I have said
before in these columns, to have more
than just a sufficient supply for your
winter wants; therefore, I would take
off all the stock that was good, potting
up such as are in the proper condition,
putting the balance of the cuttings in
the propagating bed, potting them also
as soon as rooted, taking care that they
do not get stunted, shifting them as
needed and planting them direct from
the pots into the borders when the house

ways providing you can give the house
sufficient air during the summer. The

balance can be either carried on through
the season in pots or planted out in ti^e
field. In this way you hav^ 'plenty of ^
good stock to take the place lit w-
cancies or poor plants as they appear at
times in the house and the surplus will
find a ready sale in the fall, and will
more than pay for the extra trouble
taken. R. E. Shuphelt,

PEONIES FOR EASTER.

Will you have someone with experience
tell us how to force peonies for Easter?

S. & L.

The most suitable varieties for forc-
ing are the Moutan or tree peonies and
to get the best results they should be
potted in the spring and grown all sum-
mer, as they rarely flower well if lifted
in the fall and forced during winter.

If potted in spring and carefully at-
tended to during the summer they should
be taken inside as soon as the leaves
drop and kept in a temperature not to
exceed 40 degrees until such time as
they are started.

As much of the top soil as can be,
without injuring the roots, should then
be removed and a rich compost put in
its place. They should then be placed
in a temperature of 52 degrees until the
eyes break, when the temperature should
be gradually raised till 60 degrees is
reached. They can be bloomed success-
fully in 56 degrees, but this takes a
much longer time.

When they are growing freely and
until the buds show color, they are great-
ly benefited by an application of liquid
food at least once a week.

After being forced they require at
least three years of field culture to re-
cuperate before being fit to force again,

CANTALOUPES.

There seem to be very few who have
attempted to grow cantaloupes under
glass for market and these few claim
that it is hard to get a profitable urice
out of them. Demand would naturally
be created if more of tliem were placed
upon the market. Some people might
«'itme along who wouUi be willing to prfy
a good price for them from a novelty
l>oint of view, but these novelty-stck-
ers are too few and far between to be
counted on as profitable buyers. Still
we can't get away from the fact that a
nice fresh muskmelon is about as fine
a fruit as can be placed on the table at
any season of the year and during the
winter and spring months should have
an especial value. It therefore seems
reasonable enough to expect that if the
right class of [leople could be reached
they woukl be willing to pay a price
high enough to make it worth while for
the grower to handle this crop. Only, I
wouhl advise those who contemplate try-
ing it to go rather limited on it at first
until they see how they are likely to
come out.

The general cultivation of cantaloupes
is similar to tliat of cucumbers, so that
a few plants could be tried in the
cucumber house. Where the greatest
difference comes in is at the setting
stage. Cucumber flowers can he set ar-
cording as they appear, but with melons
it is necessary to wait until eight or ten
flowers can be had at one time or, if
one or two only are set at one time,
they will run away with the strength of
the plant and it will be hard to get
others to set and even if they do set
they will not swell if one or two others
have the lead. It is also necessary to
support the fruit by a network of cords
or some such device, as they get too
heavy for the stem and would break
away unless artifieial support was
given.

Regarding variety, I prefer those of
European origin. Some good growers
have told me that they were successful
in forcing Emerald (Jem, but I have
never been able to obtain good flavor in
this when forced. The best flavored
varieties I have trieil are Royal Favorite
and Frogmore Scarlet, both of English
origin ami are good, free setters and
healthy growers. Royal Favorite is the
larger of the two, is nearly round in
shape, closely netted and a beautiful
fruit when well finished. Frogmore
Scarlet, though not so large, matures
earlier, is also a beautiful fruit, of a rich
orange yellow when finished, though not
80 closely netted as the Favorite. A
number of varieties of this class are in
existence, but the above named ;tre the
best I have tried. W. S. Croydon.

WITH THE GROWERS.

J. M. Gasser Co., Cleveland.

This company's plant at Rocky River
comprises nearly 300,000 feet of glass
and one always finds something of in-
terest Mr. Anderson, the genial man-
ager of the plant, was our escort. The
orchid and fern house was the first.
Quite a number of cattleyas, oncidiums
and cypripediums were in prime condi-
tion, as were also some fine Boston ferns,
Pandanus Veitchii and Dracaena ter-
minalis.

Carnations were next. A large area
is devoted to this flower aud as a whole
the stock looks remarkably good. Law-
son predominates and at present the
house is a field of butl and bloom, hav-

ing been just right for Christmas. There
is also a house of Enchantress with
stems from two to three feet long and
blooms of i)erfect color. Gov. Wolcott
is not doing as well this year as last,
being a trifle slow. White Cloud is still
grown and more space will lie occupied
hy this variety next year. Moonlight
arul Vesper are bsdng tried on a limited
scale and up to date are doing nicely.
In red, Mrs. Potter Palmer has done
well to date. Apollo is too small. Crane
does not do well here. Kstelle gives
goo<l results. Flaminjjo is somewhat
diseased, but is a gran<l, good flower
with stems nearly three feet long. They
will propagate from healthy stock and
try it again. In crimson Harry Fcnn
leads them all. Several of the latest
introductions will be planted, including
P"Hancee, White Lawson and others. Mr.
(rasser is sorry Hoht. Craig is not out
for the coming season.

A larger si)ace is devoted to the rose.
Many varieties are planted and most of
them look healthy and vigorous. Beau-

ties are planted in limited quantities
and at present are off crop but growth
is strong and heavy. Maids and Brides
were started late after resting, and are
just in their first growth. Perle is in
fine condition, being full of strong, red
growth but not in heavy crop at present.
Mme. Chatenay is one mass of buds, al-
though Mr. Anderson says it is off crop.
What a magnificent grower it is! Lib-
erty is completely off and is considered
too slow. Gen. MacArthur resembles
Perle in growth, being an exceptionally
vigorous variety, and does best at from
50 to 54 degrees. Meteor has been
dropped altogether. A house 300 feet
long devoted to Kaiserin is still pro-
ducing some very fine flowers.

A large space is occupied by mums
during the summer, being followed by
lilies, azaleas and bulbous stock. A house
of poinsettias for cutting with stems
ten feet long was just right for Christ-
mas. Lorraine begonias and cyclamen
are also grown and are looking quite
good.

It is said that another range will be
added to this one either this or next
year, as they are unable to meet the
increasing demand for their shipping
trade.

The Gasser Co. has a water supply
at this place from a 15,000 gallon tank
elevated sixty-three feet on an all iron
tower. It was built by the W. E. Cald-
well Co., . Louisville, Ky.

NEW YORK FLORISTS' CLUB.

Monday evening, January 9, the first
meeting of the New York Florists' Club
for 1905 took place at the club's parlors
and an enthusiastic crowd welcomed the
beginning of what promises to be a most
successful year. Vice-President Butter-
field introduced the newly re-elected
j)resident, Frank E. Traendly, who re-
ceived a most cordial greeting and re-
sponded with an address as follows:

President's Address.

I tliHiik you liciirtll.v for the iimrk of i-on-
lldeuce jou havi' shown b.v ri'-elec-ting uie to
the olHce of liiexiileiit for the ensuing year.
Well iitteiided lueetlngH, ii lilH>rul re8iK>n8e to
our InvitationH to all who might have some-
Ihing to show on the nights set a|mrt for
sptH-lal exhibits; gotxl work by the dlfterent
couiuiittees— all these have contrlbuteil to make
the past year suiieseful. That the name fa-
vorable coiMlltl"ii8 may bo with us (luring the
year to couie is my eanu'st liope.

The club is tu m flourishing coiulition and
the treasurer's rejwrt will 8h«iw a growing sur-
plus, as the following extract proves:

Cash balance January 1. 1!»04 | 911. aT

Cjish biilunce January 1. 1!K)5 1.226.52

The membership is at present about 200, of
which 147 are in gtHul standing, thirty-two
owe one year's dues and eighteen have received
a tinal notice to make good their Indebtedness
;it once. These flgures may seem to coni-
piire unfavorabl,v with last year's reiwrt. but
the list of delinquents has been gone over
by the board of trustees and a goo<l deal of
deadwood dropped from the roll. It is pr<)p<>r
at this time to say to proposers of new mem-
liers that the initiation fee of $.•} must be
handed in to the secretary with every projK)-
sltion before a name can l>e presented to the
<lub.

I recommend a repetition of last year's pro-
gram to arrange for special exhibitions on
HfHted nights during the year, l>eginning with
ciirnatlons at the February meeting. It W(uild
tend to Inen'Hse Interest and make these nights
still more attractive If we could have a paper
read by a specialist on the principal exhibit of
the evening.

I hesitate to refer to a revision of the rules
governing the committee on award, but I
have heard suggestions fliat the rules might
t»e improved. I think, however, that matter
may safely be left with the committee, and
if It sens fit to make recommendations the
ilnb will consider them.

The hoti8«' committee seems to have mnde
Itself Indispensable and a fair appropriation
for this year Is advisable. I rocommencj that
the committee make arrangements for a la-
i"os' iifeht for the February meeting and pro-
vide proper entertainment. If agreeable to the

club 1 Would suggest tbat we entertain the
ladies uKui" towaras the close ot the year.

One or two illustrated lectures might Ik*
arranged for by the essay and entertalniueut
committee durli.g the year.

This Is an opportune time to consider the miU-
ject of the club's annual outing and to invite
suggestions as to the place wuere we are to
go. As a member of the second outing com-
mittee, with some of its members, we visited
all plac^H near the city and found most of them
undesirable or Inaccessible, Wetzel Point grove
l>eing more attractive than any. This commit-
tee should be appointed at once with instrnc-
tions to make arrangements with the manage-
ment of the place determined upon at this
meeting.

The bowling contingent is reminded that it Is
time to get to work, enlist recruits and try to
make a good record for New York. We are
not handicapped by distance to be traveled
this year, and a good team ought to l>e got
together and give a good account of Itself in
Washington this summer.

Concluding. I want to testify to the warm
support given me by the officers of the club
during: the past year. The secretary has
done his good share, and how much that
amounts to is not generally appreciated by
the majority of members. His work has been
most valuable towards the club's welfare.
The treasurer has seen to It thiit the club's
funds have not been idle, and the fact tbat
all but a couple of hundred dollars are draw-
ing, interest, which amounts to enough to pay
two-thirds cf our rent, shows with what zeal
he cares for our interests. With the contin-
ued assistance of these, the other officers, com-
nifttftpa Hnd members, I hope to be able to
serve you acceptably during the coming year.

The newly elected vice-president also
responded with an address, mentioning
some of the successes of the club and
several of its hopes for the future.

Mr. Sheridan reported arrangements
for an annual dinner at the St. Denis
February 1, securing the popular Tommy
Baker and his talented assistants as the
amusement feature and the sale of moro
tickets than the total disposed of in
1904, with nearly a month of opportun-
ity remaining. He would like to be ad-
vised at once by all who will attend.
Mr. Nugent reported for the house com-
mittee and received a hearty vote of
thanks.

Seven new members were elected and
C. Albert Small, Frank MclVrahon, J. F.
Marsden, Clarence Saltford and Wm. G.
Muller were proposed. Mr. Wallace read
a most satisfactory report of the board
of trustees, showing $1,200 in the club's
treasury. Secretary Young's report
showed an average attendance of nearly
100 for the year, an addition of twenty-
seven new Dfiembers and the death of
three.

Wm. Duckham, of ]\Iadison, gave a
cordial invitation to the club to uttend
tho annual Madison smoker on Wednes-

day evening and the acceptance of the
members was voted unanimously. Mr.
Wallace spoke for the American Carnation
Society's exhibition at Chicago and sug-
gested the journey of the eastern visitors
in a body, predicting the best convention
the Carnation Society had ever held. The
holding of the usual summer outing was
decided upon, the committee appointed
being Messrs. Elliott, Birnie, Schenck,
Craw,- Langjahr, Beimels, Jr., Schmitz,
Bunyard and Shaw.

The following committees were an-
nounced by the president: Legislative,
John N. May, P. O'Mara and Chas. Al-
len; essay and entertainment, >«ugent,
Manda and Kuhnc; awards, O'Mara,
Lenker, Siebrecht, Birnie, Miller, Duck-
ham and Totty.

Messrs, O'Mara, Ward, Phillips, Nash,
Wallace and others discussed the sugges-
tions in the vice-president's address as
to increasing the membership and the
establishment of a question box as a
feature of subsequent meetings of the
ciub. The house committee gave a spe-
cial showing of its ability and the first
meeting of the new year ended in har-
monious enthusiasm as to the certainty
of a successful record for 1905.

At the next meeting of the club the
second Monday in February, there will
be exhibits of carnations, the ladies will
be guests and there will be a paper or
address by a competent carnation grower.
J. Austin Shaw.

THE PITTSBURG CLUB^ METHOD.

The Pittsburg and Allegheny Florists'
and Gardeners' Club held its regular
monthly meeting Tuesday evening, Janu-
ary 3. The subject for consideration and
discussion was "Plants. Flowers and
Greens Used During the Christmas Holi-
days. ' ' It was also the night for nomi-
nation of officers for the ensuing year,
the election being next meeting.

The club is in a most prosperous condi-
tion. It has 149 members and there are
four proposals for membership to bo
acted on at the next meeting. During
the year the monthly meetings have been
most entertaining and instructive and at
each meeting there has been an exhibition
of flowers, plants and materials and the
attendance has been large and the discus-

sions spirited and critical. No papers
have been read at any of the meetings,
the officers of the club believing that the
members give better heed to impromptu
talks and criticisms, where every man
present can say a word or give his opin-
ion, rather than to papers on set sub-
jects. The great aim has been to get
every member interested and in an argu-
mentative or confessional mood and if
any man is afraid to open his mouth, ask
him simple questions in his own line of
work and in this way the most bashful
member of the club has never refused or
hesitated to give his opinion about prac-
tical matters or to tell how he does things
at home. Secrets! There are no cultural
secrets in this club. And the members
are always attentive and orderly and
there is never any one leaving the hall
before the meeting closes. In fact, it
seldom happens that we get quite
through at 10 o'clock.

During the year we have had two
smokers and a summer picnic and all
paid for out of the general funds of the
club. Today every debt of the club is
paid and there is between $20 and $30
in the treasury. This shows interest and
economical management on the part of
the entertainment committee and their
smokers and picnic were lavish in refresh-
ments, amusement and music.

All of the officers of the present year
were re-nominated for election for next
year, except the president. He has served
in this capacity for several years and
declined a re-nomination, urging that the
honor should not stav too long in one
man's hand. So T. 'p. Langhans was
nominated for the presidency. Mr, Lang,
hans was secretary of the club for several
years and is thoroughly interested in its
prosperity and we all look upon him as
a most happy choice. Prex.

MOST VALUABLE.

I beg to hand you herewith a dollar in
payment for another year's subscription
to the most valuable of trade papers.
This amount I consider well invested, as
It pays me many dollars back, for when-
ev-er in need of stock it is so easy to find
what you want otrered by some of your
advertisers. Chas. Otto Kokn

CARNATION NOTES-EAST.

A New Disease.

In this vicinity there has recently ap-
peared on plants of Lawson, an affection
•of the stem unlike anything before seen.
■Growers in other sections may be ac-
<[uainted with it, but, from what can be
Jearned on short notice, it seems to be a
jiew disease. My purpose in giving in-
formation regarding this trouble is to ask
if others have any knowledge concerning
:it, also to induce every grower to be on
the watch for it, or, if already discovered
and experience has resulted in finding the
cause, a remedy or preventive, to give
some light on the matter.

I first heard of it from a grower who
wrote describing it as follows:

"A bud and its stem will look per-
fectly sound and healthy and in a good
many cases the flower will develop per-
fectly, but on pickling same, there will
be found low 4o^ on the stem a place,
about an inch long where i| appears dead
and is brittle. In a iMp^'per cent of the
cases this affected plac? is covered with
a short, thin, white, fuzzy mold. If cut
between the diseased spot and flower,
it will keep all right, but cut below that
spot and the flower, it fades before
twelve hours. The affected stem ap-
pears to draw sap from the plant, but
will not draw water. ' '

Having never seen such a thing my-
self, or had any experience with any-
thing similar, I have looked over other
places, and while it does not seem to be
a prevailing trouble, it is not confined
to the one grower in question.

I might give a lengthy article on the
result of various experiments and theories
•of probable causes, etc., but readers of
the Review want the facts from the first.
None of us know it all, but I hope some
■one knows something definite about this
trouble. Geo. S. Osborn.

' CARNATION NOTES.-WEST.

Entf«it^at« in Propagatins.

During the next eight weeks you will
have the best weather of the year for pro-
pagating carnations. Steady firing will
enable you to keep a little bottom heat,
while at the same time you will be able
to keep the top cool. After getting your
cuttings into the sand and watered in
well your main attention will be directed
toward keeping the cuttings in a fresh
state until the roots start. This requires
^ood judgment and constant watching, es-
pecially if the days are warm and bright.

Shading and spraying are the two
things resorted to to counteract the effects
of the sun, and if they are done judi-
ciously there need be no loss from that
source. No iron-clad rule can be laid
4own as to the amount of either of these
should be done, but a safe rule to go
by is to keep the cuttings fresh and
crisp, with just aa little shading or
spraying as you can. Too much is but
little less harmful than not enough. Al-

ways bear in mind that if you can keep
the cuttings fresh for three or four weeks
you will have success. A badly wilted
carnation cutting might just as well be
thrown out right away.

You wUl find a great difference in va-
rieties; some will remain crisp and take
root in three weeks while others will look
wilty in spite of all you can do and
will drag along for six weeks before
striking roots. These latter kinds are the
ones you will have the most trouble with.
They are usually of a very soft growth
and will damp off if you spray them too
much or become covered with rust, which
makes them unfit to grow. These will
want close shading and not much spray-
ing. Adonis and Mrs. Nelson belong to this
class. Then you will find such varieties
as Lawson, Crane and Enchantress will
wilt slightly only a few days and if they
receive one or two light sprayings each
day, according to the weather, they will
straighten up in about a week and go
right ahead rooting. E. Crocker, Queen
Louise, Harlowarden, Moonlight and such
narrow-grassed varieties, are the easiest
to root. 'They will need but little spray-
ing outside of ftie watfting to do them
nicely.

Do most of your spraying before noon
so the cuttings can dry off before night,
else you will bring on rust and perhaps
damping off. Put on your shade in the
morning before the sun strikes the cut-
tings fairly so there is no danger of
wilting but in the evening remove the
shade and let them have the weak sun-
shine for a half hour or an hour to help
dry them off. Then if there does happen
to be a little wilting they will have all
night to freshen up again. These little
spells of sunshine do the cuttings a world
of good. It is a great mistake to use a
bench that the sun never strikes until
spring. As the cuttings root you can
increase the amount of sunshine and by
the time they are ready to come out you
can let them have all the sun there is for
a few days and there will be much less
wilting after potting and a quicker start
into a strong growth. Draughts of air
should always be avoided as they will
cause wilting as much as too much sun.

Watch the sand closely and water be-
fore the cuttings suffer. Notice every
evening, as the sand will show dryness
better then than in the morning. It
should not be soggy, but just thoroughly
moist. On bright days dampen the
boards and the walks to help keep the
atmosphere moist. Do not put any per-
manent shading over the cuttings or on
the glass, because on cloudy days they
will want all the light there is, and to
darken them will make them soft. "With
good judgment you ought to root 100 per
cent of your cuttings.

VARIEGATED LAWSON.

W. B. Arnold, of the Rockland
Greenhouses, Rockland, Mass., whose
Variegated Lawson was illustrated in
these columns a couple of weeks ago,
has contracted to give his entire output
of cuttings of that variety to the P. B.

Pierson Co., Tarrytown, N. Y., who are
introducing a White Lawson this sea-
son. The deal was consummated upon
the day of a recent visit by Prank R.
Pierson to the Rockland Greenhouses.

GIBSON BEAUTY DROPPED.

The Review is in receipt of the sub-
joined letter over the signature of the
J. D. Thompson Carnation Co., and the
Swan Peterson Floral Co.

We wish to announce to the trade that Gib-
son Beauty, the new carnation that we have
sold 80 extensively, has not come up this
season to Its past record or our expectations,
being a late bloomer and giving but few blooms
before Christmas. We have decided not to
disseminate same and have canceled all orders
that ha^e been placed.

While the failure of this promising var-
iety is a disappointment to all concerned,
it is greatly to the credit of the intro-
ducers that they should decide to with-
draw it, not alone because they voluntar-
ily cancel a large number of orders, but
because each of the firms had devoted a
large amount of valuable space to plants
for stock and many thousand of cuttings
were already rooted or in the sand.

McKINLEY DAY.

Don't forget about McEanley day,
January 29, the day when every one
wears a carnation. There promises to
be an abundant supply of stock this year,
and we should make the fullest use of the
opportunity. But don't raise prices; the
time for that may come when the ob-
servance of the day is a little more
firmly established.

Call the attention of your local news-
paper men to the approach of the day
and the custom of observing it by wear-
ing a carnation. Put an advertisement
in the paper, or at least a si^ in your
window. Early in the morning of the
day, if you can spare the stock, go to
the street car barns and see that every
crew is decorated as it starts out. The
force of example is strong.

FAIRY RING.

I am sending a few carnation buds in
order that you may tell me what is the
trouble. Some of the plants are all right
while on others the buds turn yellow and
dry up. The tips of the leaves are dried
on some of the plants. P. J. P.

Your carnations are affected with
fairy-ring. As this is a fungous disease.
Hrst of all pick off all the buds and
leaves that are spotted and bum them.
Then spray them with formaline diluted
to 500 to one. This is one of the beet
fungicides or germicides known and will
do the work if anything will. Spray them
thoroughly two or three times a week
for two or three weeks; then decrease to
one spraying each week until you see the
plants are entirely clean. Do the spray-
ing in the morning of a bright day, so
the plants can dry off before night. If
any more spots appear, keep them picked
off, as the disease will spread if left on
the plants. You might also paint one of
the steam pipes with a paste made of
half sulphur and half lime, mixed with
water, to help keep the atmosphere pure.

We like the Review and think it in-
dispensable to the florist who wishes to
advance in his profession. — W. H. CtTLP

PITTSBURG.

The Market.

The first week of the New Year has
been a disappointment so far as business
was concerned ; everybouy is complaining.
Good roses were scarce and high priced,
but there were enough to go around. Car-
nations were plentiful; the g6od stock
sold at a reasonable price but the poor
stock and small flowers went to the dump.
In fact, there seems to be too much
"crap" of all kinds and at a time like
this it must all go to the dump. The
first week of the year has produced a va-
riety of weather, opening with a spring
day, then a blizzard with a terrible wind
and winding up with the heaviest snow
of the year.

Various Notes.

The Florists' Club met last Tuesday
evening. After a discussion of plants
and Christmas greens, the nomination of
officers was taken up. As Wm. Falconer,
who has served as president for several
years, declined to allow his name to be
used again, T. P. Langhans, secretary of
the Pittsburg Cut Flower Co., was nomi-
nated for president, together with the
officers of the preceding year, namely,
vice-president, K C. Eeineman; secre-
tary, H. P. Joslin; assistant secretary, E.
C. Ludwig ; treasurer, Fred Burki ; execu-

Bader and Fred Burki. The report
of the secretary showed the club to be in
a prosperous condition, with 149 members
and a good balance in the treasury.

January 29 will be McKinley day and,
as it has become the custom to honor
this day by wearing a carnation, it might
be well for the growers to be prepared
with an extra cut for that day.

The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. is re-

Gr. & J. W. Ludwig are issuing a very

A Birthday Party.

John Bader was 60 years old on Thurs-
day, January 5. My ! No one would take
him to be over 50! So that evening half
a hundred of his warm, personal friends,
church, school and political, gathered at
his castle on Troy Hill to cheer him up
and wish him many happy returns. They
presented him veith a magnificent silver
loving cup in testimony of their esteem
for him. That John is a sound church-

man, the presence of three clergymeu at
his table was good evidence. He has long
been a school director and while he leans
to the Democratic party, most ot us
think he isn't at all a bad Republican.
As a business man, John is a pronounced
success. Coming to this country from
Germany a young gardener, he drifted
into commercial lire and now he is the
leading plantsman in western Pennsyl-
vania and outside of his florists' busi-
ness he is a large property holder. John
is rich and he is a mighty good fellow,
too, honest as sunlight, straight as an
arrow, vigorous, aggressive and progres-
sive. It is the sincere wish of everyone
who knows him that he may have many,
many more happy birthdays.

The Market.

The rush of the holidays being over,
things are getting down to their uormal
standard. Business has been rather dull
the past week, but the coming week prom-
ises to be better. Carnations are scarce,
especially white and red. Good roses are
scarce, for there is a healthy demanu for
choice blooms. Bulbous stock is plenti-
ful, with prices about the same. There
is a fair call for violets and some cboice
bunches are on the market. Most of the
growers and retailers are glad of the
chance to rest up after the rush and are
settling down to getting things m readi-
ness for Easter.

Various Notes.

The event of the week was the mar-
riage of Albert F. Barbe and Mrs. Mary
Gruettner. The ceremony was performed
by the Rev. Dr. J. M. Cromer, at the
home of the bride. Mr. Barbe; who be-
lieves in doing things right, made his

greenhouses disgorge their wealth of
bloom and choicest plants to do honor to
the occasion. The price of rice went up
and old shoes in abundance were found
the next morning. Mr. and Mrs. Jrtarbe
are at home at fifteenth and Lawndale
avenue.

One of the local retailers hired a wagon
one day last week and covered it with
placards annouhcing carnations at 35
cents per dozen.

C. M. Wise, who has purchased seventy-
five feet on the corner of Twenty-fifth
and Holmes streets, has built a thoroughly
up-to-date greenhouse 22x100, with a re-
ception room 12x12, heated with hot
water and electric lighted. He is stock-
ing |Up and has plans already drawn for
two more houses of the same dimensions,
which he will build in a couple of weeks.

D. Freudenthal is well pleased with hig
new location on East Twelfth street and
reports business better than in the old
place.

Miss M. Dallev reports very good busi-
ness the past week. She is handling some
fine roses from Al. Broman, at Inde-
pendence.

Ed. Bunyar, of Independence, is send-
ing in some fine violets and finds a ready
market.

Arthur Newell reports good business
at both of his stores the past week and
is thoroughly satisfied with the holiday
business. He has his Twelfth street store
very tastefully decorated.

R. S. Brown reports very fine trade
these days and only bewails the fact that
his place is not large enough to handle
all that comes his way.

W. J. Barnes, of Thirty-eighth and
Euclid, is showing some very fine stock,
especially bulbous stock, and is finding
a ready market for all he produces.

The Market.

The opening days ^f 1905 have fa-
vored us with a mixture of wea,ther
which, for extreme variety, would be
very hard to beat. Opening with a day
of genuine April balminegs, we%iave in
quick succession blizzarda, thaws, cold
waves, snow storms, galls and rain
storms, followed by further cold waves.
One day our maximum was 55 degrees
in the shade. Two days later it was 10
degrees. Minimums have varied from 42
above to 8 degrees below zero. Of sun-
shine we have not had an overplus and
as a consequence production of flowers
has not been heavy. Demand, however,
has been even lighter than production
and prices have softened in consequence.

Up till January 8, trade was moder-
ately good, but a warm wave and terrific
rain storm ruined what might have been
a good market. Flowers were half
drowned getting to market and buyers
were afraid to venture out in such a
storm. Conditions have improved since,
but are still not so good as could be de-
sired.

Best grades of American Beauties
have realized $60 and from that figure
down to $6. Brides and Maids are a
little lower, about $12 for the best. The
cut of these is smaller, quite a number
of growers reporting their houses as off
crop. Select carnations make $3 and
$4, in some cases $5. A few Prosperity
realized $10, while quite a numoer of the
poorer grades went at $2, some even
lower. About $1 has been top price for
best violets, very few realizing $1.25.
Prices have dropped to as low as 50
cents on ordinary grades.

Paper Whites and Boman hyacinths
are lower and sell very slowly. Some
Narcissus Soleil d'Or is seen and somd
very nice Golden Spur is coming in.
These latter sell well. Mignonette is now
coming of fine quality from several
growers. Poinsettias are practically
over. Freesias are coming 5n more freely.
Cypripedium insigne remain abundant.
Myosotis, marguerites and double dai-
sies are seen here and there. Adiantuni
and asparagus remain about tlie same.

Horticultural Society. >.

The first 1905 meeting of the board of
directors was held on January 7. it
was voted to hold a second field day ere
spring for a demonstration of methods
for fighting the brown tail and gypsy
moths, Boston Common and Franklin

park being suggested as suitable loca-
tions. It was decided to change the date
of the show scheduled for May 6 to
April 29, all the halls having been let
for the week ending May 6.

Twenty-five new members were elected,
twenty-four of these being proposed by
the new president, A. F. Estabrook, who
has presented quite a number of addi-
tional names to be voted on, in Febru-
ary.

The annual meeting of the Massachu-
setts Horticultural Society was held Jan-
uary 7. In the absence of the president-
elect, who had been obliged to seek a
warmer climate owing to the state of
his health, Walter Hunnewell presided.

over, will occupy a larger space with
you.

cott, made a felicitous speech, predict-
ing greater prosperity and usefulness
for the society. The greater part of the
meeting was occupied by the reading of
reports from the secretary, librarian and
treasurer and the chairmen of commit-
tees, all of which will be printed in the
transactions of the society. The treas-
urer's report showed assets of nearly
$800,000 over liabilities. Expenditures
for the past year fell a little short of
$20,000. A cordial vote of thanks was
passed to E. W. Wood, for over twenty
years chairman of the fruit committee,
who now retires.

W. A. Stevens showed a splendid dish
of mushrooms, grown from pure culture

spawn. Mrs. E. M. Gill had carnations,
freesias and clivias. Owing to stormy
weather the meeting was not so largely
attended as usual.

Various Notes.

William Nicholson, of Framingham,
would like all from this section
who intend to go to tBe Chicago
carnation convention to communicate
with him as soon as possible, so
that arrangements for berths may
be made in season. The Boston del-
egation will probably go from the North
Union station via Nickel Pla^e R. E.
Fare will be $27.35 for the round trip,
berth in through sleepers $5.50 extra
each way. The party will leav^ on the
evening of January 23. It is sincerely
hoped that as large a delegation as
possible will represent our section, as
Boston wants the convention next year
and certainly is entitled to it after a
lapse of eleven years.

W. L. Lewis, of Marlboro, Mass., has
had a fine vase of his new white seed-
ling carnation, Mrs. W. L. Lewis, on ex-
hibition in Galvin's, on Tremont street,
the past week. This is a cross between
Flora Hill and Mary Wood and is very
promising.

J. Tailby & Son, of Wellesley, are
growing some 50,000 Iris Hispanica, in-
cluding a number of new and choice vari-
eties, also a large lot of Anemone ful-
gens. They had blooms of the new race
of Guernsey's iris in bloom for Christ-
mas.

One of N. F. Comley's greenhouses
was broken into a few nights ago and
100 carnation flowers stolen. The two
thieves were caught and fined $25 and
$5 respectively at Concord on the fol-
lowing day.

James S. Philbrick was married to
^riss Lizzie Lovering at the Baptist
Church. Woburn, Mass., on January 5.
Mr. Philbrick 's market confreres wish
him much joy and excuse his late arriv-
al at his stall.

J. Woodward Manning will be the
speaker at the meeting of the Garden-
ers' and Florists' Club on January 17.
His address will be made more interesting
by a number of lantern slides. The j\ov,-
president, James Wheeler, will be in-
stalled and refreshments served at the
close of the meeting. There will be
quite a number of interesting exhibits,
including one or two flower novelties
not previously shown in America. A
large attendance is assured.

The Market

Business has been very dull during the
past week and prices on nearly all lines
have weakened very materiaJly. The
single exception is tea roses of good
grade. For these the demand continues
in excess of the supply, but this does not
necessarily indicate that there is heavy
buying; on the contrary, supplies are
very light. There are plenty of low
grade Brides and Maids and these bring
cheap prices. Long Beauties have been
in very large supply and if the buyer
were not too critical as to age and quality
he could get very cheap rates. The best
stock has strengthened considerably, how-
ever, as the average quality of the cut is
on the down grade because of unfavor-
able weather.

Compared with recent values of carna-
tions, current prices are very low. In
fact they are below the average for this
season of the year and quality is gener-
ally at its very best. The market has a
considerable surplus every day, princi-
pally colored sorts, for white is in good
demand for funeral work. The receipts
of violets are not so heavy as they r.ere
but demand has also slackened and
there is considerable waste after re-
quirements are met at low prices. Both
Harrisii .and callas are to be seen in
most of the wholesale houses and there
are large quantities of Romans and
Paper Whites which are difficult to
move. A few tulips are coming in but
:ire yet of poor stem and are not
largely wanted. Good mignonette
is selling fairly well but there is
no market for the {>oor stock. Stevia has
shortened up and sells fairly well. The
absence of active demand has made green
stock quite abundant.

Receiver for Vinandy.

On January 9, Dreiske & Hinners and
others, through their attorneys, Felsenthal
& Foreman, 100 Washington street, filed
a petition in the United States Circuit
Court to have .»iichael Winandy judged
a bankrupt. Edwin C. Day, First Na-

tional Bank building, was appointed re-
ceiver, and took possession Monday even-
ing. Dreiske & Hinners are coal deal-
ers and their claim is small in proportion
to what the aggregate liabilities are said
to be. Mr. Winandy, besides running his
greenhouses, did a general contracting
business, and it is stated that it was in
this and not in the greenhouses that he
lost his money, although it is well un-
derstood that the greenhouse end wus do-
ing far less than it did in its first
couple of seasons in cut flowers. Mr.
Winandy, although a man of ex-
emplary character, was very lax in
his business methods and kept his
books in his head and his bank account in
his pocket, so that neither he nor the re-
ceiver yet knows just how he stands. The
claims are very large but are mostly ow-
ing to building material concerns. The
assets consist of fifty-two greenhouses
and several pieces of real estate. Henry
Wietor, of Wietor Bros., has a mortgage
for $6,000 on the greenhouse property
and is secured. The receiver is continu-
ing the business.

Not Too Many Chatenay.

Early in the season there were decid-
edly too many short Chatenay roses in
the market and the fear was expressed
that it has been overdone, but it hasn't
looked that way since the first crop was
off. Chatenay is a prolific bloomer and
August Poehlmann says that it gives a
great deal higher proportion of the tancy
grade flowers than any other rose he
grows. Its great value is most apparent
in mid-winter.

Various Notes.

Peter Reinberg was an early buyer of
the Richmond rose and placed an order
for 5,000 plants, which he has now in-
creased to 10,000. Emil Buettner and
his grower were down to Hill's to look
at it early this week.

Wietor Bros, have their carnation
houses in very good shape. Guardian
Angel is particularly productive and as
a profitable variety is still well up to
the front.

NEW YORK.

The Market

The week just ended was not a satis-
factory one in the wholesale section. The
miserable weather was a great factor,
unsettling the market, depressing prices
and maintaining the record of all the
years for the weeks immediately succeed-
ing the holidays^ that of dullness, sacri-
fice and general pessimism. Violets, es-
pecially, felt the strain. Great reduc-
tions were necessary at times to Astrib-
ute them and the mild days gave the
sidewalk merchants their opportunity and
saved the markets from utter demoraliza-
tion.

The tendency all the week was down-
ward. Snow storms up the state de-
laved shipments and L»ong Island also
suffered from the drifting blizzard, the
worst since the great storm of 1888.
There seemed to be no limit to the car-
nation supply. But this is only the resting
spell before renewed activity and as the
year progresses the old-time enterprise
and prosperity will sweep over the mar-
ket and re-establish the conditions of
other years. We look for a decided
change for the better by the middle of
the month.

avenue theatre, which is next door to
his store. The loss was small.

Geo. Burnett has opened a seed and
bulb business in Jersey City. He has
been in the service of Weeber & Don
for many years.

Robert Craig, of Philadelphia, was in
the city on Saturday, looking younger
and happier than for many years. He
says he "has a new stomach" and he
looks it. We could ill spare "the sil-
ver tongued orator" and his friends
hope his new lease on youth may have
the privilege of renewal for many a year
to come.

PHILADELPHL«L

The Market*

We are passing through a period of
depression, with great quantities of flow-
ers on the street at ridiculously low
prices. Carnati'ms suffer most, with val-
ley. Paper Whites, other bulbous ilow-
ers and violets coming next. The fakirs
bought eagerly but found it extremely
difficult to unload, there being Jittle
demand. People have given their pres-
ents and are not spending money now,
barring a few entertainments.

The First Assembly.

Philadelphia broke away from her old
traditions when the first Assembly Ball,
held last Friday evening, was transferred
from the Academy of Music to the new
Bellevue-Stratford Hotel. The ball room
is a magnificent affair, affording great
opportunities for the decorators, J, J.
Habermehl's Sons, to show their skill,
of which they took full advantage. The
stage was decorated in white, Easter

lilies and lilacs being freely used. Aza-
leas, poinsettias. Beauties and choibe
specimen palms were features of the ball
room and approaches, the idea being to
use only the finest material and to use it
in moderation. The effect was dazzlingly
brilliant.

The Florists' Qub.

The January meeting of the club was
marred by the snow storm, which raged
with the fierceness of a blizzard. The at-
^ tendance was meaner, even the usually
* reliable secretary being among the absent,
and with him, unfortunately, were the
books of record.

In direct contrast to the shortcomings of
the home florists, two out-of-town grow-
ers braved the storm to be present. They
were C. W. Ward, of Queens, Long Is-
land, and J. L. Dillon, of Bloomsburg.
The former brought some half-dozen
bunches of his finest seedlings, amon^
them Eobert Craig, the famous scarlet,,
and a white of extraordinary size. Mr.
Dillon brought a bunch of Crisis, bis
fine scarlet.

These notes may seem a little meager.

WHITELAWSON

Which we introduced last seasoii has given great satiafaction, and has proved to be

THE FINEST WHITE CARNATION EVER SENT OUT

Remember that we are headquarters for it. The (demand will undoubtedly exceed the
supply this season, and in order to secure early delivery, no time should be lost in placing^ order* We are
now booking: orders for early January delivery* Orders will be filled strictly in rotation, as received, so the
earlier orders are booked, the earlier deliveries can be made* We can supply

First-class strong rooted cuttings, $7.00 per 100; $60.00 per lOOO.

Also all the other novelties of the season, FIANCEE, CARDINSL, FRED BURKI, etc.

Also the cream of the older sorts, Mrs. M. A. Patten, Daheim, Enchantress, Fiamingo,
Mrs. Thos. W. Lawson, etc.

F. R. PIERSON C0.9 Tarrytown-oo-fiodsoo, N. Y.

They hardly do justice to the subject, but
'tis a melancholy fact that Phil, too, was
away that night, he being very much
afraid that if he got into town he would
have to stay there or walk all the way out.

Germantown Horticultural Society.

James G. Scott read an interesting pa-
per, historical and hunlorous, on Asple-
nium Ebenoides, discovered by his father
near Pencoyd, Pa., in 1862, before the
January meeting of the Germantown
Horticultural Society last Monday even-
ing. He received a hearty vote of thank?.
The election of officers resulted in but
one change. The societj' is in excellent
shape, thanks to the able and conscien-
tious work of the president, Edward
Neville, and the secretary and treas-
urer, George Eedles. Mr. Neville, who
has served seven years as president, was
presented with a bouquet of floral gems
in the phape of fifty of the Stratford
Flower Farm 's selected carnations in va-
riety.

An Average Price.

David Rnst, in a paragraph published
recently in the Florists' Exchange, states
that a large buyer of cut flowers
told him that he purchased one
do^en American Beauties in Balti-
more on December 24 for $30 and
that on December 28, he purchased from
the New York Cut Flower Co. a dozen
American Beauties that were as goou
and probably fresher for $3.80. Com-
menting on this, Mr. Rust says that
while the first price was too higli, the
second was too low and Ihat high prices
are a detriment to the cut flower busi-
ness. The natural inference to be drawn
from the above statement is that were
the growers and sellers of cut flowers
less avaricious they would be better off.
Is this really true? I don't think so.
Personally I would greatly prefer an
average price, or at least that prices
should not fluctuate so tremendorsly, and
so, I think, would a large majority of
the growers and sellers of cut flowers,
but there are certain facts that prevent
this desirable end.

Take the case quoted, that of Ameri-
ran Beauties. Last season several of
the cleverest growers of this rose con-
fessed to me that they had not made

money. This season prices through the
fall were not as good as last season.
Owing to the bad weather the supply at
Christmas fell below expectations and
prices were high. Despite these high
prices a great many more could have
been sold. I do not think the buyer re-
ferred to can realize the thought, care
and hard, honest work required to bring
Beauties into crop at Christmas when
conditions are unfavorable. Regarding
the prices quoted, the wholesale price in
this city on December 24 was $15 a doz-
en and on December 28, $9 a dozen. The
retailers' profit is a question that does
not concern florists in general, but if
the buyer bought "specials" in New
York at $3.80 on the date given he got
them fifty per cent under the listed price
in that city. It is probable, however,
that the buyer got "specials" in Balti-
more and No. 1 or No. 2 in New York.

Various Notes.

William H. Wyatt went up to Harris-
burg last week with a number of big
Beauty orders for the opening of the
legislature.

J. A. Smith, of the H. F. Michell
Co., states that advance orders for flor-
ists' seed.^ are keeping the force busy.

Lit Bros., a deparlnierit store, bought
carnations freely on Friday, their first
venture of the kind, and sold them on
Saturday at 15 to 18 cents a dozen and
on Monday at 10 to 12 cents a dozen.

The fakirs have been buying carna-
tions from $2.50 to $5 a thousand and
do not appear to be making money. The
bad time won't last long.

William A. Walton, of Oxford, Pa.,
one of the Flower Market growers, has
purchased a farm in that carnation cen-
ter.

Eugene Bernheimer received his first
freesias on Monday. He is getting a
nice lot of white and pink sweet peas.
Mr. Bernheimer believes that among the
causes of the carnation glut are that
nearly everybody's plants are doing well.
Last season, when plants were less vig-
orous, there was no overproduction dur-
ing the fortnight succeeding the holi-
days.

Hugh Graham had good crops of
Beauties, Liberties and. carnations for
the holidays from his place at Logan.

Mr. Graham believes the plant trade,
both at Christmas and at Easter, has a
great future,

Phil was fortunate to run across the
senior riiember of the firm of the premier
rose growers at the Flower Market this
week, Mr. Myers was selling as his
partner was ill. He stated they had
cut 20,000 Beauties in December and had
filled some big orders.

The Philadelphia Cut Flower Co. is
receiving some nice Kaiserins, quite a
rarity now, and white lilac.

As the Review goes* to press J. J.
Habermehl 's Sons are arranging the dec-
orations for the Morrocco Club. Life-
like goats and kids disporting themselves
on miniature mountains in the center
of a hollow oval table will be a feature.

M. Rice «& Co. are very much elated
over the fact that they were able to
land a large shipment of cycas leaves
b^'ore the duty was , increased, ■ybich
means a material increase in the price
of this much used article when this lot
is gone.

A Holiday Problem.

[IU>8peot fully dedicated to K.. sometime
nt.vled the Thorley of Philadelphia, and to
O. r. W., a man of parts.]

The pretty jtlrl's smile faded aw-ay
At the. awful prices she had to pa.v
For Christmas flowers so bright and gay,
Thorlpy says, Thorley says.

Choice ciit flowers appealed In rain;
She turned from Beauties with proud disdain,
Uought Begonia Ololre de Lorraine,
Thorley says, Tborley says.

.Terusalem cherries were soon done,
Scotty ferns hud a lively run;
Of polnsettlas left, there were none,
Thorley says, Thorley says.

How the storm king whistled and blew.
Plants needed wax and tissue, too;
Plenty of work for the tired crew,
Thorley says, Thorley says.

'TIs sad In this wicked world of ours.
Mischief might of evil powers
Causes strange antics in fragile flowers,
Thorley says, TTiorley says.

THE SOLUTION.

In nineteen five bow would It do
To fix one price the whole year through;
Abstain from salt and sugar. Yon
Might send the fakirs to Tlmbuctoo,
G. C. says, G. C. says.

For beans, $11 and $12 per bushel is

The Christmas rain at Santa Clara,
Cal., was worth a great deal to the seed
growers.

A GOOD strain of greenhouse radish
seed is in brisk demand at Chicago at
present.

It is reported that quite a few mail
orders are coming from the catalogues
that have been mailed.

Geo. A. Bxjbnett has left Weeber &
Don, New York, and will engage in busi-
ness on his own account.

The Pacific Coast growers now think
they can produce a stock of radish seed
equal to the best French strains.

A NEW departure is a seed catalogue
issued by Sears, Roebuck & Co., large
general mail order people, of Chicago.

The mqTinfiiini prlco at which market
gardeners will buy beans freely has been
exceeded in most of the current retail
catalogues.

The government's free seeds and the
seedsmen's expensive catalogues are
reaching a good many people in the
same mail.

Visited Chicago: — Joe L. Ullathome,
of the Ullathome Seed Co., Memphis,
Tenn.; Edward H. Morrison, Fairfield,
Washington.

Few seedsmen are taking advantage
of the method by which catalogues may
be mailed in bulk. The game doesn't
appear to be worth the eandle.

It is a question in the minds of some
of the leading seedsmen whether a very
early or a belated issue of a retail cata-
logue brings the most business.

Worcester, Mass. — ^W. W. Bawson,
the Boston seedsman and market gardener,
wiU address the Worcester County Hor- '
ticultural Society on February 2, subject,
"Fertilizers."

The executive committee of the Seed
Trade Association was in session at Cin-
cinnati on Tuesday of this week, making
plans for the June convention on the
St. Lawrence.

Says W. Atlee Burpee: "No one
house should attempt to reach all classes
of customers. So long as the world
endures there will be both 'quality
buyers' and 'price buyers.' "

The Thorbum catalogfue is never ex-
celled for typographical excellence, and
the one hundred and fourth annual issue,
dated 1905, is up to the best of its prede-
cessors. The cover is a model.

passed away December 26, after an
illness of two years, the result of a stroke
of paralysis. A second attack seized him
on December 22, after which he was
conscious except for an interval just be-
fore his death, but unable to talk. L.
M. Eamberlin, a son, was on a trip
among the trade in the east and was
reached by wire at Kansas City. He
arrived home twenty-four hours after his
father passed away. The funeral was
held December 28, many California seed
growers attending.

Mr. Kimberlin was born in Virginia
January 20, 1828. He graduated with
honors from Dickinson College, and at the
age of 24 married and removed to Cali-
fornia, journeying by the Isthmus. Mr.
Kimberlin became an instructor in the
San Jose Academy, and later was pro-
fessor of languages in the University of
the Pacific, at that time located at Santa
Clara. Forty years ago he found it
necessary to seek outdoor occupation and
turned to the then unexplored business of
seed growing. To him may justly be
given credit for blazing the trail which
has now been widened to a great highway,
It was a slow matter to build up confi-
dence in the east, not so much in the
grower as in the seeds resulting under
Californian conditions, but that problem
solved, the business has developed stead-
ily until today thousands of acres in
Santa Clara and Kern counties are pro-
ducing seeds to be sent out under the
Kimberlin label. Their crops cover the
whole range of items for which Cali-
fornia is looked to as the main
source of supply. Onions, lettuces and
sweet peas are the principal acreages.

Mr. and Mrs. Kimberlin had nine
children, two of whom have passed
away. Three sons, C. R., L. M. and H.
V. Kimberlin, are associated with the
business, and, indeed, it has been prac-
tically in their charge for several years.
They will continue it without change
of policy.

By a decree of fate, Mr. Kimberlin
passed away on the first anniversary of
the day his companion on fifty-one years'
of life 's journey was laid at rest in the
churchyard where both now sleep.

AMERICAN ASSOGATION OF NURSEKYMEN.

Pres., B. W. Klrkpatrlck, McElnney, Tex.;
Vlce-Pres., C. L. Watrous, Des Moines; Sec'y,
Oeo. O. Bearer, Rochester; Treas., O. L. Yates,
Rochester. The S9th annual convention will be
held at West Baden, Ind., June, 1906.

E. J. Ijewib, Cresco, la., has bought a
ten-acre tract, and will start a nursery.

H. A. Terry, Crescent, la., states in
his 1905 price list that he has been rais-
ing seedling peonies for thirtj-four
years.

"W. R. Carr, nurseryman. Yellow
Springs, O., has filed a petition in bank-
rtiptcy, scheduling liabilities of $30,000
and no assets.

The Wisconsin State Horticultural So-
ciety will hold its annual convention at
Madison, February 7 to 11. There is an
interesting program.

N. W. SLale, nurseryman and con-
gressman, presided at a meeting at Nash-
ville, January 2, at which th« Tennessee
State Horticultural Society wtis organ-
ized.

Jackson & Perkiks Co., Newark, N.
Y., state that the demand for Manetti
stocks has been so great that their im-
portation has been entirely engaged for
some time.

The American Association of Park Su-
perintendents has issued a bulletin deal-
ing exhaustively and authoritatively with
the building and maintenance of park
roads and walks.

The entomologist of the state of Min-
nesota is preparing a preliminary re-
port on experiments to control the leaf
hopper, which is reported to have done
considerable damage in nurseries. The
entomological oflScer is very frequently
called upon in Minnesota, having re-
ceived more than 1,000 inquiries with re-
gard to the identity and methods of con-
trolling mccct pests during the past year.

The Chicago Branch of the Woman's
Outdoor Art League of the American
Civic Association will apply for a divorce
from the parent body, and one of the
reasons alleged is that J. Horace McFar-
land, president of the Civic Association,
"wanted us to plant fruit trees in the
streets of Chicago, and we thought it
was about time to call a halt. ' ' Another
reason is that three-fourths of the dues
go to support "higher" organizations
and all that comes back is such advice as
that quoted above.

ST. LOUIS. '

The business among the local retail
florists since New Year's has been very
quiet and had it not been for a lot of
funeral work it could have been called
Tery dull. The social folks are as yet
not inclined to give any large * ' do-
ings," as usual, at this time of the
jear. Some of the large establishments
up town report that they have a few
orders booked ahead for the latter part
of this month.

Values in the flower market, which
have been holding up with a remarkable
persistency, have dropped off greatly the
past week on all grades, and especially
on violets, which can now be bought as
low &a 50 cents per hundred. There is
no glut as yet, but everything is plenti-
ful.

Roses of the extra fancy grade are not
nny too many for the dfmand, but the
lesser grades in Brides, Maids, Golden
Gates, Meteors and Perles are more than
enough. In carnations the stook is of
extra good quality in all varieties.
Prices on fancy are down to 5 cents.
The grades behind these run from $1.50
to $3 per hundred. Whites are in big
demand. Colored stock is left over each
morning in large lots.

In bulbous material our market is
greatly overstocked in almost everything
in season, A fine lot of Ilarrisii are
coming in now and are down to $12.50
per hundred. C?allas are scarce, Romans
and Paper Whites very plentiful. Vio-
lets ha\'o fallen ofi-' in dcinaiid and the
market has had nn oversupply the pajjt
week in California. Greens in smilax
and asparagus sold fairly well.

Will Hucke is back in harness again
in rellevillo and is sending F. ^f. Ellis
a fine lot of asparagus, which aells
well.

Mrs. Buechel. of the Biessen Floral
Co., reports that Mr. Buechel will
not be able to attend to business until
_fpring, as his broken limb is mending
slowly. They have been very busy since
the holidays.

Charles Schoenelle of the Avers Floral
Co., is making a collection for the benefit
of the f«mily of the late Pat Qninn, who
are in need. SubHcriptions will be re-
ceived by any of our wholesalers.

with the trade the past week. He re-
ports trade very satisfactory among the
florists in Belleville. Carl Beyer and
Frank Ellis were with him in at the
windup.

It will probably be news to the flor-
ists outside of St. Louis who visited the
World's Fair and the famous Tyrolean
Alps that the little flower girl, Miss
Clotilde Jiricka, was married on Christ-
mas eve to Kenneth H. Bailey, the mil-
lionaire china merchant of London,

KALAMAZOO. MICH.

Christinas was at least twenty per cent
better than laat year. Plants, cut flowers
and greens sold equally well. The stores
were finely decorated. Azaleas, lilies,
cyclamens, primroses, etc., were much in
evidence. G. Van Bochove & Bro. had a
very handsome display, and so did the
Central Michigan Nursery's store. One
window was decorated with a winter land-
scape. The other was devoted to pot
plants. The Dunkley Floral Co. had some
designs made up in New York style and
also showed pot plants. New Year's
trade was also very good and demand is
good all around. H. M.

THOMPSONVILLE, CONN.

Chester F. Brainard, who for the past
six years has been in the employ of his
brother, D. Wm. Brainard, has pur-
chased from F. N. Allen a tract of about
ten acres of land known as the J. B.
Allen farm. The land is on the main
trolley line between Hartford and
Springfield, in the north end of the vil-
lage of Thompsonville. Mr. Brainard
expects to start into the nursery, plant
and bulb business this coming spring,
though it is his plan to work into the
wholesale florist's business as well. Op-
erations will be commenced as soon as
possible in the spring and some building
tt'ill be done this season.

ElCHMOND, IND.— Chas. Knopf, of the
B. K. & B. Floral Co., has the sym-
pathy of many friends in the recent death
of bis mother.

Canton, O. — Fire destroyed stock
valued at $2,000 belonging to Chas. Lind-
acher, December 29. Mr. Lindacher re-
fused money to a tramp and thinks the
tramp set fire to the greenhouse.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

Januaby 12. 1005.

PACIFIC COAST.

Frank SHiBia^Y, of San Francisco,
reports holiday business as very good and
fully up to that of former years. Cut
poinsettias were in big demand for
Christmas and a great many were dis-
posed of, customers in many cases pur-
chasing these instead of roses. He says
that trade was a little dull the early
part of the winter, due to the fact that
an unusually large number of wealthy
patrons were in Europe and the east-
ern cities, but thinks it will now improve.
Violets are very popular for street wear
and demand in consequence ia large.
Street venders are disposing of great
quantities daily. There is very little call
for American Beauties, Bridesmaid be-
ing the favorite rose.

SAN FRANOSCXJ.

The Market

Now that the holidays are over the
growers and retailers can take a little
time and figure out how they stand. I
have spoken with a great many of both
and there seems to be some difference
of opinion as to how well the receipts
balance the expenditures. I think,
however, on the whole proposition there
were more flowers handled than last
year, but the price was somewhat
cheaper, probably fully twenty per cent.
Another thing to consider is that, except
for a few fancy roses, there was no
shortage in the supply of general stock.
This is the first year that such a con-
dition has been apparent in San Fran-
cisco and whether it was due to the ex-
tended warm spell we had in the early
winter or to the increased number of
houses that have been built during the
past season and are producing flowers
for the first time, I am not quite sure,
but both these conditions assisted in the
increased supply. What we are going
to do with the spring's surplus I have
no idea, but it is certain we will Jiave
our hands full.

Since the holidays trade has been fair,
funeral work being the principal item.
Carnations, which were held at somewhat
stiff prices last week, are gradually get-
ting a little cheaper and more plentiful.
Soses, only, are in short supply and the
price has remained the same as they
have been for several weeks. Daffodils
are coming into market in fair quantities
and narcissi of all descriptions remain
a drug. Violets remain at $1 per dozen
bunches, valley moves very slowly since
the holidays and Roman hyacinths are
not much better. A few freesias are
seen, but it will be several weeks before
they are in their prime.

Various Notes.

The Art Floral Co. have opened a
store on Powell street, in the Flood
building. They have a strictly up-to-
date store and will handle only first-class
stock.

The retailers report that hyacinth and
tulip bulbs were of poor sal6 last fall
and many of them still have considerable
stock on hand.

The Loomis carnation growers are
shipping large quantities of rooted car-
nations to the local growers.

A. Galloway, of I^itvale, is cutting
some extra fine Estelle at present.

ANNUALS.

For dealers vrho handle soft wooded
stock such as stocks, asters, salvias,
petunias, verbenas, etc., it is now time
that seed should be sown. It is not
necessary with this class of annuals to
have any bottom heat, but it is well in
this latitude, to plant seeds in frames
and cover with glass until the middle of
February.

We have had a very mild season thus

far and geraniums, lobelia, achyr-
anthes, alternantheras, begonias and
plants of that nature that were planted
as cuitings in November should now be
rooted and ready to transplant in flats.
There are no precautions that are
necessary at this time except to be par-
ticular that the cuttings are not over-
watered and that they are protected ^t
night from a possible frost.

Because of our exceptionally mild
winter even the heliotropes and gera-
niums are still in full bloom outdoors^
so that there has been little trouble to get
cuttings for spring stock.

Regarding annuals grown from seed,
the gardener v^ants to bear in mind
that our demand for them is principally
from the middle of March until the end
of April and stock that is offered for
sale after that generally is consigned to
the rubbish heap. I have found there
is an increasing demand for asters, cos-
mos, salvias, stock, cereopsis, gaillardias,
lobelias and hollyhocks and such stock
that is grown from seed, usually pansies,
hollyhocks, canterbury bells and snap-
dragons planted early last fall should
now be pricked into flats or planted in
the ground for spring flowering.

Carnation cuttings Under glass are
now well rooted and can be planted in
the open ground about the middle of
March. Some growers shift them from
the cutting bed into thumb pots and oth-
ers transplant into flats before they
are shifted outside. This is an advant-
age if they are extra strong growing
sorts, or if the grower is backward m
having his ground ready for them. They
are easily stunted in flats and to have
the best results should be kept growing
without experiencing any check. This
rule applies to all soft-wooded stock, as
thrifty, well-grown plants pay yell for
the extra trouble they cause when of-
fered for sale. "•

CYPRESS.

Cypress stocks at Louisiana mills are in
good shape to meet a large demand and
manufacturers are expecting a good run
of business during the coming year. In
the Kansas City district there has been
a satisfactory trade in cypress all the past
season, and disposition of product
throughout the country has been sufficient
to show the high appreciation in which
the wood is held. — American Lumberman.

New Xiate Pink Chrysanthemum, Freeda Senner. This Obrysantbemum we have
grown three years. It is a very profitable variety on account of it being so very late ; begins
blooming December 20, continuing to middle of January: color, salmon pink; large and full:
strong grower, three to four feet, foliage dark green leaves, well up to bloom, anrl a good
keeper. On account of its lateness, it is bound to be exceedingly valuable.

ASPHALTUM ON PIPES.

I have three greenhouses used for a
general stock of cut flowers and bedding
plants in which the hot water pipes have
been painted with asphaltum. The
fumes given off are ruining the stock,
the roses in particular. I have tried
running a heavy fire and throwing the
ventilators vdde open; have also used a
gasoline torch .and tried sand paper.
Can you tell me how to get the paint
off without losing any more stock?

C. J. B.

I regret to say I know of no way of
removing this paint that will not be
deleterious to the pipes and injurious to
the plants. It is likely that strong am-
monia water would be as effective in
removing the paint as anything that
could be used as a wash. It is possible
that a strong lye wash might be of some
use. I do not think that either of these
would hurt the pipes to speak of and
would probably not injure the plants.
Any acid which might be used would
injure the pipe seriously.

It is a great mistake to paint pipes
intended for heating purposes. In some
cases it is economy to paint flow pipes
that are not considered in estimating
the radiation for a house, or where ap-
pearance is a factor, but where eflSciency
and economy are elements in the flnan-
cial management of a place do not paint
the pii^s. L. C. C.

THE NEW

ROSE

WELLESLEY

Is a welcome addition to the list of forcing roses.

Color is bright pink^ with reverse of petals clear silvery pink, thus producing a combina-
tion that is exceedingly effective either in daylight or artificial light. Growth is very free
and exceptionally vigorous and will prove satisfactory every month in the year. Delivery
strictly in rotation, beginning April first. PRICES: Own Root— $25 per 100; $55 per 250;
$J00 per 500; $200 per 1000. Grafted— $30 per 100; $70 per 250; $J30per 500; $260 per 1000.

CLEVELAND,

The Market.

A trip to the various stores found a
tired looking lot, after the holiday rush,
byt I am pleased to say that all wore a
pleasant smile and were in quite a cheer-
ful mood, which augurs well for the busi-
aess transacted. At New Year's, while
not a wonderful holiday for florists, I can
say with utmost confidence a magnificent
trade was done. The market, with the
exception of white stock, was cleaned out
(jompletely and many more good colored
roses and carnations could have been dis-
posed of. Christmas prices ruled in most
lines, but since have taken a decided
drop.

There were many receptions, balls and
debutantes' parties between the holi-
days, which kept the retailers on the
jump. They were divided between the
J. M. Gasser Co., Collins & Harrison
and Smith & Fetters.

Business since New Year's has oeen
about normal with plenty of stock to go
around, there being no overplus to speak
of, as most growers are very mucn off
crop at present.

Various Notes.

Robert Kegg, of Rocky River, Is send-
ing in some nice Lawson and Manle> car-
nations to the Cleveland Cut Flower Co.

The Ohio Floral Co. is cutting very
fine Enchantress carnations.

Herman Hart had a magnificent lot of
, good stock for the holidays, which ae
'Yeadily disposed of at retail. The new
carnation range was in full crop of very
fine blooms, which reflects great credit
upon the grower. The plant is a model
of neatness and is up-to-date in all re-
spects. Next season the old range will
be replaced by a new one with a beau-
tiful store front to handle the increasing
business.

At a meeting of the Florists' Club re-
cently it was decided to hold a carnation
show on a small scale on January 23.
All local growers will make a display, as
well as some of the big fellows. A notice
will be sent out and a fine attendance
should result.

L. C. Hecock. of Elyria, reports a fine
trade for the holidavs.

W. L. Jones, of Lorain, says he could
have disposed of twice the quantity of
flowers.

Quite a number of Cleveland florists
anticipate going to Chicago to the carna-
tion convention.

Visitor: John Walker, Youngstowh,
Ohio. Forest City.

Mt. Sterling:, Ky.— I received the sample of
your PumlKatlnc Kind Tobacco Powder
but as I did not uae but one-half the amrunt as
directed I did not obtain the best results but am
satisfied that if used according to direction it
will kill everything it is intended for, as at least
90 per cent of Thnps and Aphis were destroyed
this morning:. Send 2i0 lbs. Emil Fredrich.

Waynesboro, Pa. — We have not
onlv found The PumlKatInK Kind
Tobacco Powder the most valuable
greenfly destroyer but we also use it
to kill snails by sprinkling; it on the
ground. Sure death; they look in the
morning like small oysters rolled in
cracker dust H. EICHHOLZ.

West WhiteUnd, Pa. — We have
tried many fumigants but have found
nothing in the market so effectual and
easily used as The PumlKstlnc Kind
Tobacco Powder.

Your prices are reasonable for so
good an article.

J. LEHMAN MAULL. Pres.

Purcellville, Va. — We have
gfiven The Pumlsatlaff
Kind Tobacco Powder a

thorough trial on Carnations.
and we are well pleased with
the result. We are able to
keep the plants entirely clean.
A. B DAVIS & SON.

0FREE trial five-pound bag: will cost you nothing; more than the express charg:es on it. The trial

cheapest (fO cents per 100-foot house) article to fumigate with. All aphis killed in one nig:ht —
our booklet tells of it; we mail one on request.

PROVIDENCE, R. L

A plan that is on foot to extend the
field of instruction at the Ehode Island
College of Agriculture and Mechanic ^ts
to embrace practical work in the estab-
lishment, maintenance and management
of greenhouses, has met the unqualified
support of florists in the state, and in all
probability some action will be taken at
this session of the General Assembly with
the view of securing an appropriation of
$15,000 for a greenhouse at the college
in the near future.

At a conference between representatives
of the board of managers and the fac-
ulty of the State Agricultural College and
representative greenhouse men of Provi-
dence and vicinity, the plan was
thoroughly considered, and all present ex-
pressed themselves as heartily in favor
of the step.

Those present at the conference were:
William Appleton, "William E. Chappel],
Matthew Macnair, Farquhar Macrae,
.Tohn Macrae, Michael Sweeney, John T.
Brown, all of Providence; Benjamin
Martin, East Providence; Cody N. Pot-
ter, Auburn, and Mr. Paine.

PARKERSBURG, W. VA.

A strange and sad fatality has followed
the family of Gustav Obermeyer. it was
only a short time ago that the eldest son
died of diphtheria and on January 5,
Fritz, need 6 years, succumbed to the
same disease. On the following aay an
employe named Paul Hannamann died of
typhoid in the Obermeyer home, where
two other children are very ill witB
diphtheria. Hannamann came to Mr.
Obermever only a short time ago, a
penniless stranger. He was evidently well
educated but in need and Mr. Obermeyer
took him in and gave him work. Nothing
is known of him save that his parents re-
side in Mecklenburg, Germany,

Superior Boilers are Good Boilers.

Head what our customers say about tbem:

..o _, South Bend, Ind., April 4, 1904.

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 Super-
ior Boiler." Yours truly. Tekanoe & Rkttio.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

January 12. 1905.

OCEANIC, N. J.

The Monmouth County Horticultural
Society installed officers at its regular
meeting, January 6. Charles Wengerter
and James Barron were elected to mem-
bership. H. A. Kettel exhibited three
vases of tulips, which received ninety
points; one vase of freesias, scoring
ninety; one vase of lily of the valley,
ninety. George Kuhn exhibited some vio-
lets which received eighty points. Geo.
H. Hale exhibited a vase of Eu-
phorbia Jacquinspflora, which scored
ninety-five points. Mr. Hale grows it at
the end of a house in a bench, treating
it the same as the roses. Its beautiful
sprays, with the stems, can be cut six
feet long, which makes it useful to the
florists for decorative purposes. It is
seldom seen in this country, but it is
grown on the other side. Mr. Wm. Tur-
ner showed some cauliflower which scored
ninety-five points.

Speakers were the retiring president,
Wm. Turner, President Hale. Vice-
president Williams, Financial Secre-
tary Kuhn, N. Butterbach, and W. Nt
Campbell. The judges of the evening
were A. J. Williams, John A. Kennedy
and John Yeomans.

WHO HAS IT?

C. E. Hubbard, seedsman and hard-
ware dealer. Topeka, Kan., wants to buy
700 of the ' ' metal strips that lie between
the glaas when the panes are lappe<l and
make the joints air tight as well as
making the roof much stronger." He
wants them for 16-inch glass and, while
we should not wish to recommend the
device, should be glad to have some, one
tell Mr. Hubbard where he can be sup-
plied.

The Re-awakening. • ,

I am still a week or two behind the
date with my reminders, but I shall, I
trust, soon catch up. The passing of
Christmas and New Year's is a trans-
formation scene, or it should be. New
crops are started up, yet some thought
must be ' given to those things that you
want for propagating or those worth
carrying over for another year.

The Poinsettia's Popularity*

It is remarkable to read from almost
«very city that the poinsettia was a lead-
ing or, in a few cities, the leading plant.
Of course, it is the color that has brought
it to the front. I consider it one of the
most profitable plants we grow, one of
the few that there is really a good
margin of profit in. For future stock,
strong canes in 6-inch pots that you
have not cut too low are the best ma-
terial. Just lay them down beneath a
bench where the ground is dry; let them
get perfectly dry and that will ripen
' the wood. Let them rest there until the
■first of May.' Ir you nave only plants
that you grew planted out on a bench,
then lift them with all the roots, pack
them in shallow boxes in moist soil and
treat the same way. To pull these up
ruthlessly and cover their roots with dry
«oil would be too radical a change for
them.

The Useful Old Stevia.

- The useful old Stevia serrata was just
as indispensable this Christmas as ever.
One winter we had none, simply because
no thought was given to cutting down
half a dozen plants to within six inches
of the pot and standing them in some
light, cool comer. Inat is all there is to
do now. In March they wiU give you all
the cuttings you want.

Left-over Azaleas,

You are sure to have some azaleas left
over. They did not all flower freely
«nough. Simon Mardner and Deutsche
Perle force so finely that they all went
freely. We tried a few Van der Cruys-
sen but got them in hardly in time, yet
they flower so freely that they sell at
any time. Any plants of any variety that
are unsalable, if they have made lots of
young growth, need only the strongest
growth pinched back, which will break
later and make more growths. Put them
in a night temperature of 45 degrees.
You don't want active growth yet a
while. Be spfe to pick all old flowers
off, seed po^'and all.

We find there is a constant complaint
from good customers that their "azalea,
so lovely when received, is all wilted."
It is nothing but want of sufficient water.
So this year we had a small cloth label
printed and fastened to every azalea we
sent out. It read something like this:
** Azalea. This plant needs a daily and
thorough watering." Ten years ago I
intended to get up a little label with in-
structions for the care of all the leading

plants that we sell for the dwelling
house. It was a real good intention, but,
Uke millionB of others, was never ful-
filled. They say a certain unspeakable
place is paved with them.

Holdini; Azaleas for Easter.

Look out for your Easter azaleas, par-
ticularly the newly imported stock. April
23 is a long way off and now is a better
time to do the retarding than in April.
Some years ago Easter came on April
25 and most of our azaleas were too
early by three weeks. When about in
full bloom we put a lot of them in the
basement of our house. It was not a
success. The coloreu varieties lost their
bright color and they all lacked fresh-
ness of flower and foliage. So keep them
-cool now. If you can do it, a few de-
grees above the freezing point is all
they want. If a few plants show by the
size of the bud that they cannot be held
back, why, let them flower in a moderate
temperature.

. The Lorraine Begonia*

There were a great number of Begonia
Gloire de Lorraine sold in our city, and
in nearly every other city. I cannot
believe that any florist can say it is a
good house plant, but no matter; it is
so beautiful and its attractiveness will
last at least three times as long as a
bunch of roses or carnations, so there is
little danger of the demand decreasing
unless some clever hybridizer gives us
something better.

There is a very successful grower of
this beautiful plant in our town and I
am not above looking at his operations
and asking questions. Plants that are
left over, or will be past their beauty
in a few weeks, can be put on a bench
where conditions are on the dry side.
They will need little water; just enough
to keep them from shriveling. In May
these plants can be cut down and will
shortly send up a number of young shoots
that have no inclination to flower. These
vigorous young shoots will root readily
and, if kept growing and given careful
watering (a great point in their culture),
will make nice plants in 5-inch or even
6-inch pots the following winter.

The largest number of these begonias
are, however, grown from leaf cuttings,
which are put into the sand in Septem-
ber and October and are now in 2-inch
pots. If they are showing three or four
little growths above the soil you are
all solid for fine plants next Christmas.
These little plants can be kept decidedly
on the dry side until May or June, when,
with increased heat and a little more
moisture, they begin to start into growth
nnd from then on it is a matter of shift-
ing and careful watering. They do not
want wet foliage at any time. When
growing fast, say in September and Oc-
tober, you might manage to water them
with the hose, but no plants pay better
for careful watering with the can, for

one may need it and the next plant may
not, and it takes an artist to do that
with a hose. If you have none of these
little 2-inch plants now is the time to
buy.

Crimson Ramblers.

It may be a little late for starting
the Crimson Ramblers that were lifted
from the ground lajst November, but it
is a good time now to start those grown
in pots last minuner. Just a word about
those lifted plants. The forcing must
be very slow for the first three or four
weeks and the heat given them slowly
and carefully increased. They will not
have any working roots and to put
them into a strong heat would ruin them.
Root growth and leaf growth, or rather
the swelling of the eyes, would go on
together. Spraying at least two or
three times & day is most essential.

The plants grown in pots all summer,
the care of which was attended to last
summer, need no such skillful manage-
ment. These might be forced into flower
easily in less than eleven or twelve
weeks, hut a Rambler that has never
been subjected to a night temperature
of over 55 degrees is' much superior to
one that you had to hurry in 65 dejfrees.
If you have three good canes six or
seven feet Icmg you have the material
for making a most attractive plant, and
even two such canes will do. If started
in 45 degrees that will do until they are
in leaf, and then raise them to 55 de-
grees.

They should at once, when brought
into the houses, be tied down. Put three
or four neat bamboo canes firmly into
the soil around the edge of the pot and
of a length of thirty inches or three
feet above the pot. Tie the growths
spirally around the stakes. You will
have an even break of all the eyes and
flowers and foliage from bottom to top
of plant.

A week or two after starting, scrape
off an inch of the surface of the soil and
mulch heavily with rather fresh cow ma-
nure. We never found anything more
necessary, yet liqui<1 manure, after the
clusters of buds were showing, would
doubtless be of benefit, as the pots are
crowded with roots.

We have never grown these roses fn
larger than 7-inch pots and that will
grow a plant as large as our trade de-
mands.

Hybrid Perpetual Roses.

The hybrid perpetual roses are seldom
forced except from plants that are lifted
from' the ground in November, Some
growers lift them and heel them in
^vithout potting, deferring that until
they start them. Others pot at once
when lifting. I think the latter much
the better plan, although it may not be
the cheapest. Either way they will have
made no roots and root and top growth
will go on together. Start cool and
gradually increase the heat. If they
can be flowered in 55 degrees the flow-
ers will be perfect. It should be need-
less to say that spraying should be fre-
quent from the day they are brought in
until the blossoms are expanded. All
deciduous shrubs enjoy a spraying when
their buds are feeling the influence of
heat and the rising sap. Look at our
deciduous trees and shrubs. If spring
starts in dry, if even warm, the foli-
age is slow to appear; then notice the
transformation scene after a heavy
shower.

Forcing Dahlias.

Last year 'was our first trial at forc-
ing daMias. We obtained the dormant
roots from a well known eastern epe-
dalist, asking for only five or six best
forcing varieties. The writer has never
had the opportunity to see how other
people forced them and there may be
better methods. We planted them two
feet apart, about the middle of Janu-
ary, in six inches of well ma<nured,
rather light loam. The bed was right
on the ground, without any drainage,
but dry. The temperature was about
55 degrees. The first flowers were cut
about April 10 and from then on in in-
creased quantity imtil July. They sold
well and it is a cut and come again

crop. We proved they were an excel-
lent paying crop, simple to manage and
yielding a great lot of bloom. I am
not posted as to varieties. Let them
be singles and pompons and limited to
few sorts. The beautiful single Twen-
tieth Century ehould certainly be one
of them.

Verbenas.

If you grow that sweet, old-fashioned
flower, the verbena, sow the seed at
once and you can get a cutting off the
young plants in April. Seedlings are
much more vigorous and free of dis-
ease than those propagated from old
plants in the fall.

Appliances for Graf tins;.

The appliances necessary for this are
few and very simple. In the first place
there should be seats for the operators
to sit on, low enough so that the feet
may be placed firmly on the ground
and the knees brought up to within a
comfortable working distance from the
body. In front of the sitters ought to
be a bench a foot or so higher than the
seats, on which may be placed the

scions and stocks. Flats to carry the
stocks are very convenient if made to
hold just an even thirty- two 2% -inch
pots. Baffia, which is the best material
for tying, should be slightly damp and
cut in bunches to the proper length.
A good sharp knife — shoe knives which
can be bought for 15 cents are first-
class for this work — and a layer of wet
sphagnum moss on the bench, to lay
the cut scions on, complete the equip-
ment.

• ,U Size and Stage. '

The stocks should be chosen as near
the size of the scions as possible and,
although a stock larger than the scion
is not objectionable, the reverse would
be -very much so.

The proper stage to use a stock is
when it has started to root in the pots
and positively never before. It is gen-
erally safe to graft when the buds just
begin to start, as this is usually a sign,
if the plants have not been kept too
warm, that root action has started.
Speaking broadly, then, the time limit
should be not before the buds start and
not after the shoots have grown to
half an inch. I do not by any means
want to insinuate that the operation
cannot be performed at other stages,
but it can be done best within the
limits laid down.

The scion ought to be good firm
wood with a plump bud, but at any
rate not started over a quarter of an
inch. Where the shoot is over this
length it will generally rot off in the
case and so make it necessary for the
scion to form new eyes, which it will
sometimes do, but more often it causes
the scion to rot also. The leaves
should be trimmed somewhat closer
than for cuttings, as this lessens the
opportunity for damping off. As for
the number of eyes to leave, one is all
that is necessary, but if the wood is
close-jointed two are not objectionable
and, indeed, some prefer this latter as
it gives a chance to get one eye under
ground when planting.

The Kind of Union.

Now in regard to the kind of union
to make, there are only two that are
worthy of much consideration. One is
generally known as the whip, and the
other I shall designate for the pur-
pose of description as a modified form

A House of Manetti Stocks Potted and Awaiting the Right Stage of Growth for Grafting.

of whip grafting. The first is formed
by making an oblique cut from one-half
to three-quarters of an inch in length,
according to the size of the stock, and
cutting the scion to match the same,
placing the cut surfaces together and
securing firmly with raffia. The points
to make sure of are that at least one
side and the bottom cut of the scion
are so placed that the cambium cells,
the layer of cells between the bark and
the wood, are in perfect contact with
the corresponding cells in the stock;
that in no case must the pith either in
the stock or in the scion be left ex-
posed, because while exposed wood cells
will callus over, the pith will not.

Making the Graft. . .

It is a good plan to have two knives,
one for stocks and one for scions, and
to cut a batch of scions before starting
to graft; they will keep for some time
if kept sprinkled on sphagnum. If
the benches have been built as de-
scribed, a person sitting on the lower
one and facing the table will be in the
proper position for quick work.

Place the pot containing the stock
between the knees, steady with the left
hand, make a clean, oblique upward
cut and hold facing up; without laying
down the knife pick out a suitable size
scion and hold it on the stock with the
forefinger and thumb of the left hand,
always matching at least the bottom
and side toward the operator. Grasp
a piece of raffia which has been cut
previously to the proper length; insert
one end between the forefinger and sec-
ond finger. "Wind carefully and firmly,
beginning always at the top and not
winding too closely together, as close
winding gives a chance for moisture to
collect beneath the raffia and causes rot-
ting of the scion.

The neatest way to make the tie is to
pass the free end through beneath the

last twist of the raffia and draw tight.
The plants should not be allowed to
stand around too long, as the green
scion will shrivel up.

There are, of course, many ways that
grafting can be done, but if the be-
ginner will carry out carefully the de-
tails metntioned, with the a|esurance
that he is on the right track, he will
rapidly become expert and conclude
that, after all, there was considerably
more talk about it than there was work.

The Test of Watchfulness.

Now if anyone thinks that after he
has performed all of the foregoing in-
structions his labors are over he surely
is making a great mistake, for although
everything up to this stage must be done
with care, the real test of his watchful-
ness comes after the grafts are placed
in the case.

For the first four or five days after
the plants are put in the case, if the
bottom, whether it be ashes or sand,
has been properly moistened it will not
be necessary to open the case. But this
rule will not always hold good, because
the novice will be perhaps very likely
to have either too much or too little
moisture. If too wet the leaves will
become saturated with moisture and
both leaves and stems will begin to
blacken and rot. This latter condition
is generally a sure sign that the temper-
ature is too high or else the case is too
wet; this, however, would not hold good
for weak or soft scions, because they
would be likely to rot with even the
best treatment.

The only thing to do, then, if the case
is too wet is to raise the sash very
slightly; the thickness of a lath is
plenty, even if the plants have been
in only two days. This will give a
chance for the air to circulate and will
likely carry out the surplus moisture.
Watch results carefully and if any

leaves show the least sign of drooping,
close the case at once. At any rate
five to ten minutes twice a day ought
to be sufficient to accomplish the par-
pose.

On the other hand, if the case is too
dry the remedy is obvious; damp very
slightly with a fine mist. Mist is what
is meant as it describes exactly what
is wanted; and keep the case tight.

Airing the Plants.

After five or six days, then, provided
everything has gone right, the callus
should be far enough advanced to al-
low of admitting air. This should be
done, to start with, not over fifteen to
twenty minutes morning and afternoon,
and gradually increased each succeed-
ing day until the sash can be kept np
all day. It is advisable to close the
case for the first night or so after a full
day of airing; then for three or foui
nights following leave on some air,
about half that of the daytime, until
finally, in from fifteen to twenty days,
the plants will be able to stand full
air day and night; and in from twenty
to thirty days they should be hard
enough to take out, but even then they
will require shading from the strong
sun for a few days.

It is taken for granted that even
the novice will know that he matt
keep the pots properly watered, neither
too wet nor too dry, rather dry than wet,
for obvious reasons; but it will be well
perhaps to tell him that, from the time
the plants begin to take air for the
full day, they ought to be damped over-
head twice a day with a very fine spray,
until they are removed from the case
and have become thoroughly hardened.
Of course, neither minutes nor days can
be an exact guide, but are mentioned
only in order to give an approximate
idea of the time usually required. The
best guides, and in fact the only ones

a person will probably depend on after
he has had some practice, are his eyes.
To sum up in a nutshell, the most
common causes of failure in the graft-
ing case are: First, shriveling, due to
too dry an atmosphere, either through
improper airing or a poorly built struc-
ture, allowing air to get in through
the cracks; and, second, damping or
lotting off, due to not enough ventila-
tion, or else too moist an atmosphere.

THRIPS ON ROSES.

These pests, when once they effect an
entrance into a rose house, particularly
where Beauties are the crop, can if neg-
lected cause considerable trouble, cha-
grin and loss. For the past few years
it has seemed next to impossible to keep
such crops free from their ravages and
it looks as if they were ever on the in-
crease in spite of all the efforts made
to subdue them. Along with our native
species we have to contend with a few
imported varieties which are equally de-
structive and quite as hard to get rid
of as their native congeners.

As a means of preventing their en-
trance into the greenhouse great care
should be exercised in keeping sod and
manure piles from being overrun with
weeds during the summer months, as
these are their favorite breeding places.
They are especially to be found among
tall-growing weeds and these should bo
kept in check in the vicinity of the
houses, either by being cut down or by
being burned during a dry spell.

To prevent their increase in the house
frequent and light fumigation is neces-
flary rather than heavy doses, which
^oiild be certain to destroy the color of
the blooms. If the fumes can be made
to reach these insects they are certain to
be destroyed, but this is where the trou-
ble commences, for, being very active
and quick in their movement, they seek
<!OV«r when the urst scent of the fumes
reaches them. They succumb quickly to
the ordinary tobacco fumes and as they
prefer to fed mostly after dark, when
they leave their seclusion among the
molch or rough surface soil and ascend
to the blooms to feed, they are much
«affler destroyed if this operation is per-
formed after darkness has set in.

If they become too plentiful and a
too frequent fumigation is bleaching the
blooms, cayenne pepper can be used and
if this is employed in the following man-
ner they are certain to disappear, not
all in one night, as the broods are being
hatched continually, but by persisting in
its use twice a week there will be few
visible in two or three weeks.

Heat some iron plates or ordinary
bricks till they are nearly red and place
them in the paths at distances of twenty
or thirty feet apart. Then start at the
farthest end of the house and put a
tablespoonful of the pepper on each
plate or brick. Do this quicklyij^nd keep ^
moving toward the door, as these fume^
are disagreeable or even dangerous.'
Close the house tightly and let it remain
so till morning. These fumes are harm-
less to vegetable life but are death to
most insects^ Emis.

ROSE RICHMOND.
I had an opportunity lately of critic-
ally examining the new rose, Richmond,
and am more pleased with it than ever
and I venture to predict that the days
•of our erratic friend, Liberty, are num-
bered. While not possess!^ such a vivid

and intense color as Liberty, the color is
very pleasing, the buds long, pointed
and of good shape, opens to a nice form
and possesses first-class keeping qualities.
A free grower, good producer and car-
ries the bud on a fine stem, well supplied
with leaves of a good texture and rich
color. I congratulate Mr. Hill on being
the possessor of such a gem. Bibes.

TROUBLE WITH TEAS.

I send a sample of a diseased Bride
plant. Something has started in my
roses and one after another is being
affected. They were planted the last
of June out of 3-inch pots into a clay
sod with about one-fifth cow n(ianure.
We did not allow them to bloom until
the latter part of September. They have
been mulched twice with cow manure,
but about December 15 we removed the
last mulch. Since then we have done
nothing to them. One or two bushes

A Whip Graft
(Stock and Scion About Equal Size.)

have died out completely. They have
had no mildew and have had air night
and day until cold weather set in; since
then have given them air whenever pos-
sible. The houses have been kept at
56 to 60 degrees. We have used no bone
meal or lime. Have had no green lly
until lately. Smoked regularly once a
week, also syringed whenever possible.
Had about the same trouble last year
but put the blame on using too much sul-
phur on the pipes. About December 1
we trimmed off some of the blind wood
to give sun and air a chance to get be-
tween and shortly after the Maids started
to turn pale; lately they have come a lit-
tle more true to color. Have also Ivory
and Golden Gate on the same benches
but they seem to be all right. W. A. 8.

After a critical examination of the

specimen received, I am inclined to think
that these roses must frequently be ex-
posed to a higher temperature than 56
or even 60 degrees during the night and
there also seems to have been the lack
of proper ventilation.

Where the greatest error occurred was
in mulching before the plants were large
Plough to make use of it. This mulch-
ing has had the effect of excluding the
sun from the soil and, as the plants
show distinct evidence of having been
frequently very dry at the i>oint where
the soil touched the bottom of the bench,
this also can be ascribed to the mulch-
ing, as it frequently happens that the
mulch absorbs and retains the moisture,
giving the bench the appearance of be-
ing moist while the soil may be dry.

This would account for the thin text-
ure of the foliage and the poor color of
the petals.

I have never found it necessary to cut
off any wood from young stock of Brides
and Bridesmaids, except for propagatinff
purposes, during midwinter and cannot
imagine such a case and especially where
the plants are so feeble as this specimen
indicates.

Keep the surface of the bench clean
and moist enough to prevent cracking.
Reduce the night temperature to 56 de-
grees and be sure it remains at that
point. Run it up to 75 or 80 degrees,
according to intensity of sunshine. Re-
frain from feeding until health is again
established. Give air freely on all favor-
able occasions. Use the syringe to
keep down spider. If these methods are
followed with good judgment and soil
and water are of good quality there is
no reason why these roses should not
recover in time and give a good account
of themselves. Ribes.

QNDERS FOR BENCHES.

Is there any damage in using cinders
instead of sand for covering the benches
to set pot plants on? What would be
the best paying crop to put in a carna-
tion house where carnations have died
outt Would asters fill the billt

W. A. S.

What you call cinders are usually
called ashes. They are what shake
through the fire bars. We sift them
through a ^^-inch mesh sieve. They
are used, possibly, more than any other
material for spreading on the benches
to set the potted plants on. We have
used the ashes of both hard and soft
coal, as well as coke. All are useful
for the purpose. Last February our
supply of sand ran out and my son spread
three inches of sifted coke ashes on a
bench with little or no bottom heat, for
a very little heat penetrates an inch
board. Among other varieties of carna-
tions, he put in a thousand cuttings of
Estelle. They were, after being in the
ashes three weeks, the richest, best col-
ored and altogether the healthiest batch
of cuttings I ever saw, and I could not
discover a cutting that was not rooted.
Chrysanthemums and a host of other
soft-wooded plants root finely in coal
ashes. I only quote the above to show
how harmless they are.

As you have the soil on the bench
where carnations have failed, I should
suggest lettuce. You might, by good
management, get three crops before it
could be grown outside. Sweet peas sown
before the end of the month would pro-
duce at Easter, and that is not the only

time that they sell well; during the
months of May and June there is a
great demand for them. If your local
wholesale market is good you could stock
up with azaleas and other Elaster plants.
TTiere is time enough for hybrid per-
petual roses in pots and after Easter
you should need the bench for geraniums
and other bedding plants. W. S.

BUYS AN "OFF-PINK.'*

A resident of Tarrytown-on-Hudaon has paid
120,000 for a pink. This la a species of "fren-
zied finance" of which probably even Mr.
I..aw8on would approve, as the flower in
question is an off-pink of the famous pink
for whirh the Boston financier paid |25,000.—
Xew York Tribune.

The above was copied into a Buffalo
paper. I can think of only two gentle-
men likely to pay such a fancy price for
an "off-pink." They are Frank B.
Pierson and William Rockefeller. There
may be several others residing in that
charming locality on the eastern shore
of the Hudson, but I am not sufficiently
intimate with them to know of their
•propensity to invest so heavily. If
it is Mr. Rockefeller, then it's a com-
mendable distribution of superfluous
wealth. If it's Mr. Pierson, then we
would say he's not only "off" pink but
" off " generally.

But we suspect this dream is about
fourteen times a greater exaggeration
than the price said to be paid by "fren-
zied finance" Lawson for the marvel-
ous production of Peter Fisher's skill,
which marked an epoch in carnation cul-
ture. W. S.

COAL CONSUMED.

We have 26,000 feet of glass and our
coal costs us $1.50 per ton on cars in
our city, in Pennsylvania. We can haul
four to five loads a day from the cars to
the greenhouses. Last season we burned
twenty-five pounds for each square foot
of glass. B. B.

I have a greenhouse near Philadel-
phia, 24x70 feet, two-thirds heated for
roses and one-third for carnations. Last
winter I burned sixteen tons of stove
coal. The house contains about i,680
square feet of glass. This would bring
the coal consumed to about twenty
pounds per square foot of glass. C. L.

HYACINTHS AND OTHERS.

I potted the following bulb.s on De-
cember 6: Dutch hyacinths. Von Sioi>
narcissi, single tulips and Lilium Har-
risii. I wish to have them in bloom for

at night and 70 degrees in the daytime^

the pots in a suitable place since plant-
ing. How will I proceed to get the
desired result! R. P.

You potted all your bulbs much too
late, yet if the hyacinths, narcissi and
tulips are outside and covered with three
or four inches of soil or tanbark and
stable litter or leaves, you will have no
trouble in flowering them finely at Eas-
ter. This festival arrives so late this

year that these bulbs will be far ad-
vanced and other years when Easter came
as late we found that two weeks in the
greenhouse was plenty of time to bring
them into flower. Don't forget that.
The Lalium Harrisii potted as late as
December 6 will hardly have made any
top growth as yet and would be better in
50 degrees at night and about middle of
February give them the 60 degrees tem-
perature. W. S.

CARNATION NOTES.-EAST.

Selection in Propagation.

I will venture the statement that you
are anxious to improve or at least to
keep every variety you grow up to stand-
ard and have decided on what sorts you
will continue. During daily attention to
watering, disbudding, cutting, etc., you
have no doubt noticed some particularly
vigorous and shapely plants, or others
from which numerous blooms have been
cut. It is well to take careful note of
the quality of bloom from these plants as
an aid in deciding what plants are worthy
of becoming ancestors.

In a bench of 1,000 or 2,000 you can
single out 100 or 200 and treat them as
stodc plants without materially affect-
ing the cut of bloom.

Propagation by cuttings is supposed to
produce plants exactly like the parent,
but we know this is not literally true.
Probably if the same conditions could be
maintained as were during the growth
of the parent plant, there would be no
perceptible variation but this is a physi-
cal impossibility, owing to conditions be-
yond our control, and it is well this is
so, as it is these variations that allow
selection of higher or improved types.

Inasmuch as the hybridizer must select
vigorous parents to produce varieties of
superior merit, so must the grower, to
maintain these meritorious qualities,
choose his young stock from plants ap-
proaching the nearest to perfection, or,
as stock breeders say, from thorough-
breds.

Heavy feeding or strong forcing for
the production of large quantities of
bloom is not conducive to the making of
thoroughbreds, as by this means the
greater part of the energy is expended
in the efforts of increase through the
medium of seed, while our plan is to
employ cuttings.

As advised in former years, and inti-
mated above, the ideal way to obtain
strong, desirable cuttings is to grow
plants for the purpose. I do not mean
Dy this that they should be prevented
from blooming, for, on <the contrary,
there are good reasons why they should
be allowed to do so, but under restric-
tion.

It is an unvarying law of nature that
the ability or power of a plant to flower
or increase will d^enerate and be lost by
disuse; that is, if prevention from bloom-
ing is carried too far this property will
become impaired or destroyed and the

whole plant weakened. On the other hand
if restricted to the extent that its gland
system can replace the worn out parts,
the plant gains vigor.

Now, if you have a thrifty batch of a
paying variety and wish to grow it
largely next year, do not trim the plants
to bare poles and ride it hard for cut-
tiugs. Better take two years in work-
ing up a vigorous stock by careful se-
lection than to take chances of board-
ing a lot of "would bes" and "has
beens" next winter. If the variety pos-
sesses true merit you cannot get all
there is in it during one season. We see
examples every year of sterling varieties
joining the silent majority through the
mad rush for cuttings.

Value of the National Meeting.

Have you arranged to attend the
American Carnation Society's convention

ter do so at once. It will pay you
handsomely for the time and money it

be worth going many miles to see, to
say nothing of the valuable information
one always gathers at such a place.
There you will see all the new candi-
dates of the year, besides those of re-
cent years, and you can compare them
and select those you may want to in-
vest in. If you have already ordered
some new ones you will be sure to meet
the originator, and you can talk to him
about their peculiarities and their likes
and dislikes, and you will be «ure to
have better success with them as a re-
sult.

Then, again, you will be able fo see
how your own stock compares with that
from the best growers of the land. If
you bought some new ones laat spring
and they have disappointed you, you
may run across some grower who is
showing some extra fine blooms of those
same varieties and you can find out
from him where you have erred.

If you have some extra fine stock your-
self and ynu imagine there is none so
good in the land, take a bunch along and
show them what you can do. You may
change your mind after you see some of
the other fellow's stuff. If you have
some pet seedlings, by all means take
some along and compare them with those
from other jarrowers. It's the best place
in the world to see whether you are
keening up with the procession in your
work. If "vou have some extra ordinarilv

good ones you will profit immensely by
having shown them and, on the other
hand, if they are not as good as you '
imagine it will help you to make up
your mind to discard those that are not
up to the mark.

But don't think that your free bloom-
ing varieties will have to measure in
size with the largest blooms you see
there. Your variety may be much more
profitable than the large one, and most
probably it will be. So when you se-
lect the varieties you wish to buy, don't
be influenced too much by the size, but
find out all you can about freedom and
the quality of culture required, etc. Al-
ways bear in mind that these bloom»
are in most cases grown by expert grow-
ers and have received the very highest
possible culture and that another va-
riety which looks far inferior, if it had
the same degree of culture, perhaps it
would show up just a» good. A very
good illustration of how misleading the
list of prize winners might be occurred
at Detroit last March, when Alba de-
feated Lady Bountiful, The Belle, and
several others. Those who have grown
these varieties know how much inferior
Alba is to the others as a money maker.
The varieties that produce the largest
bloom and score the highest are not
necessarily the most profitable ones for
the commercial grower. See how the
variety Adonis has been laying all other
reds low, but I have yet to see the
grower who wa« able to make any money
out of it. So don't be carried off your
feet by the fine appearance of a variety
unless you are satisfied that it has the
health and freedom necessary to make
it profitable.

And after you have absorbed all the
information and good in general there
is to be had, don't be so ungrateful as
to leave without becoming a member of
the society. The two-dollar fee will
not hurt you, but it vrill help the so-
cietv to keep up. It is the only means
of income the society has. and think
of what this society has done for everv-
grower of carnations! Besides it will
give you admission to the banquet,
which alone is worth several times the
price, and surely you would not impose
upon your friend who is a member, by
asking him to take you in. He may not
want to refuse you, but he really has
no right to take you in and he cannot
if the committee in charge does its duty.
So plank down your two dollars and
join the society that has done you more
real good than any benefit society ymi
have ever belonged to.

CARNATIONS FOR SUMMER.

I have a bench of American Beauty
roses that have, I might say, failed, due
I think to the use of wood ashes too
freely. The Beauties did very well up
to about September. We used a barrel
of ashes to a bench 5x110 feet. About
September the foliage began to yellow,
flowers short-stemmed and of little value.
I have a flne lot of Enchantress and
Lawson just potted in 3-inch pots. Will
it do to take the Beauties out, turn the
soil and plant the carnations for sum-
mer blooming f My intention is to pull
these out again in the autumn and re-
plant for winter blooming. J. H.

If the wood a^es were strong enough
to seriously injure your Beauties I cer-
tainly would not advise you to plant an^--
thing else in the same soil. Better take

the soil out and refill with fresh soil,
the same as you use for planting carna-
tions in the fall. The Enchantreyss and
Lawson, if planted as soon as they be-
come established in the 3-inch pots, say
about March 1, ought to do nicely and
give you a fine crop of blooms early in
the summer, especially the Enchantress.
The Lawison stems might come a little
short. There would te no need of re-
planting a^ain in the fall, in fact, I
would not think of it. Those plants
will make the finest stock on your place
next winter if you top dress and mulch
them occasionally next fall and winter.
They will require a little more feeding
than fall-planted stock, but they will
pay you mighty well for it.

THE WITTERSTAETTER WAY.

The carnation growing establishment
of R Witterstaetter, just over the hills
from Cincinnati, is one of the remark-
able places of the country, not for its
size, for there are many larger, but for
the fact that save for Enchantress and
Cardinal, no other variety on the piace
is to be seen anywhere else; all, in-
cluding Cardinal, are seedlings, origin-
ating there.

Good culture is the rule and one must
look far and wide to find stock in better
shape. "For years," says Mr. Witter-
staetter, "it hardly paid to grow the
best quality for the Cincinnati market,
but now the retailers are finding more
people who want the finest flowers and
they are willing to pay me what such
stock is worth. In fact, the demand is
now all that I can supply."

This is the establishment whence came
Adonis, Enquirer, Cardinal and several
others, and there are half a dozen sorts
now on the place which would immedi-
ately be put on the market if they be-
longed to anyone else. One, indeed, the
proprietor feels, is good enough to do
credit to his name, and vrill be intro-
duced in a year or two. It is nameless
but is known as the "Improved Law-
son," not that it has any strain of Law-
son blood in its parentage, but that Mr.
Witterstaetter thinks it, being in the same
class for color, will prove to have all the
good points of that variety and several
added virtues. Principal of these latter
is the fact that it is an early bloomer
and makes from the start stems up to
Lawson 's best mid-winter standard. It
is of splendid form. When one says that
he has something better than Lawson
he encounters the incredulity of the rank
and file of growers, but here is one worth
watching.

There is a White Lawson here, but a
still better white, in the eyes of Mr.
Witterstaetter is one which is an even
more profuse bloomer for him. Another
white is a pronounced departure in form
from all existing varieties, the flower be-
ing almost a perfect hemisphere, the pe-
tals being scalloped, not fringed, and
remarkable for their regularity. There is
only a small stock of this, but it catches
the eye on sight.

There are several good reds which
are of good size and form, but habit of
growth is more important than all else
in Mr. Witterstaetter 's view. One is
ideal in this respect, and may be put
out if it holds good by comparison with
the several new reds shortly to be dis-
tributed.

In one house there is a half bench of a
seedling from Enquirer. In form and

color it is very like Fiancee, possibly a
little larger.

Mr. Witterstaetter has recently en-
larged his place and it is in all re-
spects a model. He had a large part of
his cuttings in the sand before Christmas.
He does not trim them at all.

SHEEP MANURE FOR MULCH.

I am intending to use pulverized sheep
manure as a top dressing for camationts.
What kind of a top dressing would it
make to mix that with cotton seed meal
and pulverized bone, and in what pro-
portion should they be used?

H. B. G.

I do not know anything about the
value of cotton seed meal as a fertilizer
or what fertilizing properties it con-
tains. The sheep manure, with ground
bone mixed through it, will make an ex-
cellent top dressing. I would add abo\it
a 4-inch pot of bone to one bushel of
sheep manure and thoroughly mix it.
Spread it on the soil about a half -inch
thick and water soon after you put it
on. I would mix it several days before
putting it on the beds and turn it over
once each day. A. F. J. Baitr.

A ♦♦BREAD AND BUTTER" RED.

The call is not all for fancy varieties
of carnations these days, for many grow-
ers, especially among those who retail
their own product, have found that to
produce the big exhibition blooms re-
quires care, if not skill, beyond what they
can afi'ord to devote to them. Besides,
to get a regular supply of these big flow-
ers often requires a larger number of
plants than the grower who is not a
specialist has room for. And without a
regular supply, the very best variety
loses half its value; you have it when you
don't need it and when you need it you
haven't got it. The result is that there
is a good field for the so-called "bread
and butter" varieties, the sorts which,
while they do not give fancy flowers, are
healthy and easy to grow, give a steady
cut and an abundance of bloom.

Charles Knopf, the managing partner
in the B. K. & B. Floral Co., was fore-

man for E. T. Grave, at Richmond, when
the carnation now known as Richmond
Gem was produced from seed and thought
so highly of it that, when he started in
business for himself, he bought the stock.
He has now grown Richmond Gem for
five years and likes it better every sea-
son. It does not come under the head
of fancy, either in size of flower or
length of stem, although it has all the
size and stem required for a general-pur-
pose variety. The color is a very good
red and at Christmas a very large cut
was sold at 7 cents per flower. The
variety's strong point is its freedom and
steadiness of bloom. The accompanying
illustration shows one of Mr. Knopf'e
houses photographed at holiday time.

The B. K. & B. Floral Co. has a very
neat plant, five houses, 250 feet long. All
their stock is well grown, much of it be-
ing shipped direct to retkil florists and
the balance consigned to the Cincinnati
market. Several seedlings are being
coached. One variety Mr. Knopf thinks
isn't as generally grown as it should be
is The Queen.

THE CARNATION SHOW.

All plans are now complete for next
week's convention and exhibition of the
American Carnation Society, at the Au-
ditorium Hotel, Chicago. A large atten-
dance is assured and also a large exhibi-
tion. All the new sorts will, of course,
be shown and the display of standard
varieties will be much larger than was
thought possible a couple of weeks ago,
when cuts were light and prices high.
All that is required to give the show a
good start is favorable weather but
storms, should they occur, are not likely
to seriously disturb aff'airs, for the hour
for staging is 1 o'clock and practically
all the trains are due in the early morn-
ing hours. At no time this winter have
the through trains been delayed more
than an hour or two. The date is fire
weeks earlier than last year.

The illness of George Wienhoeber will
prevent his appearing before the con-
vention so that the essayists will be three.

Rudd, Wm. Scott and Wm. Nicholson.
Mr. Scott has been quite ill for several
weeks and writes that he has abandoned
hope of attending.

The Chicago Florists' Club will be the
host at a banquet as the closing feature
of the convention. Many of the visitors
will remain a day or two to visit the
well-known carnation growing establish-
ments in the vicinity of Chicago.

McKINLEY^ FAVORITE FLOWER.

On McKinley day, January 29, a great
many people will insist on having a car-
nation of a certain color, in the belief
that it was Mr. McKinley's favorite. As
a matter of fact it was the carnation that
Mr. McKinley loved, without regard to
color. An evidence of this is the fact
that different people will argue that he
wore a red flower or a pink or crimson,
not agreeing at all as to color. Each
may have had the evidence of his own
eyes, for Mr. McKinley wore them all,
and white.

If McKinley day is to become of value
to the florists it is of importance that all
colors of carnations be recognized as ap-
propriate for the purpose of the occasion.
There is a little story which may serve
to turn many people from a belief that
they must have a color: Not long since
a well-known florist chanced to be in
Canton and was accorded the privilege bf
entering the vault in which McKinley's
body lies. There upon the casket lay a
great bunch of white carnations with the
card of Mrs. Roosevelt. Surely had Mr.
McKinley's favorite been pink or red
iMrs. Roosevelt would not have sent
white.

AMERICAN CARNATION SOCIETY

The Chicago Meeting.

The meeting and exhibition of this so-
ciety will be held in the Auditorium Ho-
tel, Chicago, January 25 and 26. Every
one interested in carnations is invited to
come and meet with us. Special rates
of a fare and one-third, on the certificate
plan, have been granted from all points
east of and including Denver. The small
sum of $2 makes you a member of the
society and pays one year's dues. This
entitles you to exhibit any new or old
carnation you may have to show.

The Auditorium Hotel can take care of
all members at reasonable rates, espec-
ially where two will occupy the same
room. This puts all under one roof,
lodging, the meeting and exhibition and
weather need not be taken into account.

There are so many sports of Lawson
coming into the field that this societv
would like, for the sake of uniformity
and to avoid the introduction of the same
variety under different names, to have ev-
ery carnation grower who has a sport from
Lawson, of any color, to exhibit the same
at this meeting, and especially so if he
intends placing it on the market. Where
the grower does not accompany the box
it should be marked as follows: "The

CARNATION DAY.

The accompanying portrait is that of
Lewis G. Reynolds, of Dayton, O., to
whom the trade is indebted for the idea
of the Carnation League of America, with
its three millions of members, each of
whom will wear a carnation on January
29, the anniversary of President McKin-
ley's birthday. The Florists' McKinley
Memorial Fund committee has at differ-
ent times detailed the objects of The
Carnation League of America, and the
benefits already derived, and to be de-
rived, from this popular movement and
it now feels that the time has come for
prompt action.

The committee has expended consider-
able effort to place this question before
the trade ; a fair number have subscribed
to the fund; a greater niunber have
pledged themselves; but the greatest
number have failed to respond. Those
who have paid, the committee heartily
thanks; to those who have subscribed,
but not paid, the committee would urge
prompt payment, so that they may re-
ceive their certificate before January 29,

Lewis G. Reynolds.

(Originator of Carnation League of America.)

and to the great number who have failed
to respond, either through neglect or in-
difference, the committee would urge
prompt action.

The g^rower and the wholesaler are
equally interested and benefited with the
retailer; therefore it behooves all, from
the employee to the proprietor, to have a
part in a movement ^at will bring mani-
fold good to our profession. A gener-
ous response will easily attain our object
and obtain for our profession a fund for
the National McKinley Memorial that
will prove a lasting monument to the
florists' profession and that will bring
back to us many times the amount in-
vested.

Any donation (the committee terms it
investment) of $1 or more entitles the
member to a handsome steel engraved
certificate, fit to be framed, which when
displayed in your place of business will
prove a lasting appeal to the sentiment
and patriotism of your customers, and an
indication of your own loyalty to, and
your interest in, our great republic.

tances to the undersigned.

SUCCESSIONAL SOWINGS.

Keeping the benches full is a matter
of much importance. It only requires a
little foresight but carelessness or pro-
crastination in the matter may cause
quite some delay, which at the year's
end results in considerable shortage in
receipts. The thoughtful grower always
has plants ready to fill up his benches
just as soon as a crop is harvested.

It is useless to try to lay dpwn any
hard and fast rule or to say just how
many days or weeks should elapse be-
tween sowings of the different subjects.
It is pretty much of an individual mat-
ter, so few are placed just alike in re-
gards to space or demand. If a con-
stant supply of all or any of the several
vegetables employed for forcing is to be
kept up they will naturally have to be
kept coming along in all the different
stages, so that when one bench is fin-
ished another is ready to begin on and
the time between the sowings must be
regulated by the length of time the sup-
ply in the bench will last. In such cases
there is little danger of a shortage, as
sowings would be regularly made every
week or ten days with such subjects as
cauliflower and lettuce and about every
four weeks with tomatoes and cucumbers.

Cauliflower heart up pretty much to-
gether and in about a week from the
time of starting to cut, the bench would
be pretty well cleared. Lettuce would
take about the same time, although the
time could be extended a few days with-
out danger of loss if necessary. The
length of time tomato or cucumber
plants will b€«r, depends pretty much
on the space the plants are allowed to
cover but from four to six weeks is
about the average time that they can
be depended on to keep up a supply.

It is usually in the smaller places that
we see time lost, where there is no at-
tempt made to keep up a steady sup-
ply, but where a house or bench may
be used to grow one thing now and an-
other thing again. A growe/ often
finds that he can grow such crops as
lettuce and cauliflower through the cold-
est of the winter days but cannot com*-
mand enough heat to grow cucumbers
or tomatoes, though he may be so placed
that the latter crops are the more profit-
able; then through the warmer spring
months the changed conditions make it
possible for him to grow the other crops.
In such cases it is well for him to look
well ahead and have his seed planted in
good time so that his plants will be
coming along and be in the best pos-
sible stage for planting by the time hid
space is ready for their accommodation.

There is, of course, a medium to be
struck. It would be just as bad to have
the plants too large as to have them
too small. If tomatoes are under way a
little too soon they can be kept moved

up into larger pots and kept growing on
and, even if they are larger than desired
when planting time comes, they will
quickly take to the soil and go ahead
without much check. Cucumbers, on the
other hand, are not so well adapted for
moving up into larger pots. It is bet-
ter to plant them in the benches when
the plants are from four to six inches
high. If kept confined in any way they
are apt to become weak and spindly. Be-
ing soft-rooted they are very susceptible
to injury and once checked take quite
some time to recuperate.

In sowing, for tomatoes about six
weeks should be allowed for the plants
to attain sufficient size for benching;
for cucumbers, four, or not more than
five weeks would be quite long enough.
Four to five weeks is also about the
length of time that should be allowed for
both lettuce and cauliflower. I don't
believe in setting out large plants of
either of the last named subjects, as
they take quicker hold of the soil when
not too large.

With any of the above named sub-
jects, however, a great deal will depend
on the freshness of the seed. Old seed
not only germinates slowly but there is
always a weakness about the plants,
growth being slower after they are
started. It takes almost two weeks
longer to produce plants of the required
size from old seed than it does when
the seed is fresh. It is therefore a good
plan to try the seed before hand to make
sure of its germinating power and vigor,
and if you have been unfortunate enough
to get stuck with old seed, to make al-
lowance for the extra time it will re-
quire to have the plants large enough
for setting out. W. S. (Swydon.

BOSTON.

The Market.

We have had a week of comparative-
ly clear and bright weather since our
last report, a pleasant change from
the conditions existing a week earlier.
Naturally production has increased
oonsiderably, without any proportion-
ate increase in demand. Boses have
continued to hold their own pretty well
for the cut of these is not verv heavy
at present. Some of the largest grow-
ers have their Beauties off crop and
the quantity of select stock coming in
is much smaller. A few select reach
$50, a more popular grade going at $25.
Brides and Maids have made $8 to $10
for good stock, a few extra fine goinpr
higher. Bather too many second and
third grades of these are coming in.

There is not much change in prices
of carnations, about $3 to $4 being as
much as select stock has brought, a few
fancies selling higher. Both in the
markets and commission houses a con-
siderable overstock was noticeable the
past week. Violets are coming in much
more abundantly and have taken quite a
slump in prices, the best making 50
cents, ordinary only fetching 25 to 35
cents. Such a heavy drop in prices is
rather surprising. We think they
will advance again later in the season.
Bulbous stock has been in rather bet-
ter demand for funeral work. There
have been no particular changes in
prices of other flowers.

Various Notes.

The opening lecture of the winter
season at Horticultural Hall on Janu-
ary 14, drew a good audience. The

lecturer was Prof. H. L. Fernald, of
Cambridge, his subject being "Some
recently introduced weeds." He gave
a list of eighteen varieties of weeds
of recent introduction, which have ap-
peared as pests in various localities
near here and showed herbarium speci-
mens to enable those present to iden-
tify them. Impure clover seeds had
undoubtedly brought some of the most
dangerous kinds. The suggestions for
dealing with weed pests included the
prevention of their seeding, the plough-
ing of the land and salting where neces-
sary.

Quite a number of prominent grow-
ers have been, or now are, on the sick
list. William Nicholson has been con-
fined to bed with the grip. He has
also .suffered from a fall on an icy
sidewalk in Boston. E. A. Peirce, E.
Sutermeister and a number of others
have also been in the hands of doctors.
We trust all may be well ere the time
arrives for the Chicago convention.

Backer & Co., of Billerica, grow some
of the best carnations going into our
market. They are also in the seedling
business and have some very promis-
ing ones. A bright rosy pink variety,
something in the way of Lawson, but
with longer and more wiry stems, has
the making of a good commercial va-
riety.

F. A. Blake's new scarlet seedling.
No. 67, is attracting considerable notice
at Welch Bros. The same grower is
shipping one of a very unique magenta
color, which seems to sell well. He
has a large assortment of other seed-
lings, some of which are very dis-
tinct and promising. Geo. M. Ander-
son also has a fine scarlet seedling
which he ships to the same firm.

Geo, McWilliam, of Whitinsville, has
a superb display of calanthes at pres-
ent. These he grows in quantity and
to remarkable perfection. While a
number of species are grown, the larger
proportion are of C, Veitchii, Mr, Mc-
William has produced bulbs of these
fourteen inches long and has had on
one or two occascions as many as seven
spikes come from one bulb, and fre-
quently five, although he usually allows
but three to develop. He has a record
of over 100 flowers on a spike and has
numerous spikes carrying fifty to sev-
enty-five flowers this season. He is sur-
prised that an orchid, comparatively in-
expensive and of easy culture, lending
itself so well for decorative purposes
and lasting so well in a cut state, is
hardly grown at all commercially.

Our Boston, Brockton and other pa-
pers have been printing some delightful
stories anent the Variegated Lawson
recently sold by W. B, Arnold to the
F. B. Pierson Co. Mr. Pierson is very
flatteringly described as "a millionaire
resident at Tarrytown-on-Hudson " and
is stated * ' to have paid the sum of $20,-
000 for the new freak Lawson sport, ' ' a
mere bagatelle surely for a millionaire.

The meeting of the Gardeners' and
Florists' Club, of which a more extend-
e^l report will appear next week, proved
to be a stimulating one in every way.
Exhibits were again numerous, C. W.
Ward's collection being especially fine.
Guttman & Weber's Victory also
came in for much admiration. A hearty
invitation to the American Carnation
Society to meet in Boston in 1906 was
adopted.

Sabin Bolton, head gardener for Oakes
Ames, of North Easton, has a fine col-

lection of varieties of Cypripedium in-
signe in bloom at present, including all
the best yellow forms. Among the lat-
ter C. Sanderse gigantea is the finest,
being larger and bolder than Sanderee,
Other fine named types are citrinum,
Lutwytcheanum, Bailee, Cobbianum,
Vanner's variety, Laura Kimball, Et-
nestii, Dorothy and Sanderianum. Fine
plants of that grand variety, Harefield
Hall, are also conspicuous.

Those who are growing Carnation
Nelson Fisher speak in high terms of
the excellent way in which that variety
holds its color. One large grower stated
that he had kept it two weeks in water
without its losing any color.

,We are all hoping that the American
Carnation Society will vote to come to
Boston in 1906. Massachusetts has
come to the fore, since the last conven-
tion met at tne old Horticultural Hall
in 1S95, as a raiser of seedlings. Such
standard sorts as Lawson, Queen, Wol-
eott, Mrs. M. A. Patten, Nelson Fisher,
Boston Market and others were all
raised near Boston and even better
kinds are in preparation.

WASHINGTON.

Continuous cloudy weather has pre-
vailed for nearly two months, making
flowers of all kinds scarcer than they
have been for several years, but the last
two weeks have been very quiet. The
last two days, with our opening season
of receptions, the sun has shown itself,
which gives brighter faces among the
growers. Maids and Brides are moving
well at $12.50 to $20 per hundred, La
France, $10 to $15, Beauty fetches $5
to $12 per dozen. Tulips and narcissi
are moving slowly at $2 to $3. Southern
violets are very low and hard to move
at 25 to 50 cents per hundred. North-
em violets are fast taking the place of
southern ones. The day is not far
distant when they will be doomed. Bloom-
ing plants are coming in finely, but on
account of very bad weather they do
not move at all.

Various Notes.

Gude & Bro. have been cutting some
very fine Beauties and Cardinals. The
Cardinal seems to be a shy bloomer with
them, but what flowers come do well
and it is a fine keeper.

Geo. Schaffer has quite a few dinners
booked for the coming week and is also
doing quite a lot of funeral work.

Blackistone says he is filled up with
orders. He claims stock is scarcer than
orders with him.

Mayberry & Hoover say they have all
that they can do, both funeral work and
dinners.

Brooks is doing considerable funeral
work.

The regular meeting of the Florists'
Club was held last Tuesday, W. F. Gude
presiding. The attendance was quite
large in spite of the blizzard. The most
important business was the appointment
of the various committees for the S. A.
F. convention. The hall committee rec-
ommended Convention Hall as being the
most suitable. It is one of the largest
and finest in the United States, seating
10,000 people and centrally located, only
fifteen minutes' walk from the various
hotels and reached by all street car lines
with one fare. Secretary W. J. Stewart
made us a flying visit and was met by
our local committee, headed by Vice-

president J. E. Freeman. After looking
over the hall and giving us quite a lot
of valuable information in regard to the
convention, the committee adjourned to
the French Castle for dinner.

MADISON, N. J.

The Morris County Gardeners' and
Florists' Society, of this place, held its
annual smoker on Wednesday evening,
January 11. At this meeting the newly
elected officers took their stations and,
while the evening was largely given over
to pleasure, it was evident that this year
the society is going to boom along as it
never did before. The newly elected of-
ficers are: President, John Herremans;
rice-president, M. McNulty; secretary,
£d. Beagan; treasurer, Wm. Charlton.
The newly elected president, while com-,
pa^tively a new man in the district, has
already shown his ability as a grower
and the future of the society will be
assured with him. The treasurer's re-
port showed every bill paid for the year
and a balance of some $250 in the treas-
ury.

The punch that is brewed every year
for this occasion has acquired interna-
tional renown and it was up to the test
for quality, strength and abundance. A
first-class vaudevUle show had been ar-
ranged and the boys were kept in roars
of laughter until after midnight. This
society voted several years ago to cut
out the formal dinner and substitute the
present style smoker and it seems to
suit the members much better and good
fellowship reigns supreme.

The E. G. Hill Co. sent on for exhibi-
tion a vase of their new rose, Eichmond,
and also one of Eosalind Orr English.
One of our members brought down a
vase of Liberty to compare it with
Eichmond and Eichmond proved well
able to take care of itself, being stronger
in gi-owth, heavier in foliage and a shade
brighter in color. Wherever Eichmond is
shown it is doubtful if it will ever have
to stand a more searching inspection
than it did at Madison, because the
members are mostly rose growers and
many hundreds of dollars have been
spent here testing new kinds only to
meet with disappointment. To the credit
of Eichmond be it said that not one
adverse comment was passed on it, the
only question being as to its freedom and
this part the introducer vouches for. A
certificate was unanimously awarded. The
Chicago Carnation Co. also received the
club certificate for Hancee, which,
though somewhat battered by rough
handling on the cars, showed up as
grandly as ever.

The meeting finally came to an end,
as all good things must, though it may
be said to have been the longest session
that the club has held for I under-
stand some of the members did not get
home for two days after. However, all
is once more "quiet along the Potomac"
and the only sound to be heard is the
rose grower bewailing the fact that
prices are again down out of sight and
unless a change soon takes place, some of
us will be meandering gently over the
hill that leads to the poorhouse.

The Market

Last week was most unsatisfactory as
to prices in the wholesale market and
the tendency was constantly downward.
Especially was this the case with violets.
Even the finest specials at times fell to
75 cents, while ordinary stock could be
had at any price, one prominent dealer
closing out a surplus at $2 a thousand.
The up-state growers will think seriously
before adding the 100,000 square feet
of glass meditated for 1905. Some pre-
monitory spring exhibits are seen in the
windows. Tulips, jonquils and Jilae are
abundant. Lilies are unlimited in quan-
tity. Carnations fell to $1 a hundred
for ordinary kinds on Saturday.

The retailers are all busy, however, the
dinner and ball season having opened
with a rush. Leikens had an especially
beautiful decoration of white roses and
American Beauties at the St. Eegis.
Hodgson had the decoration for the
Astor ball. The coming weeks are full
of engagements for functions that will
tax the originality and best efforts of
the floral artists. There should be noth-
ing but prosperity to record for many a
week.

Various Notes.

Don't forget that the annual dinner
of the Florists' Club will take place two
weeks from next Saturday evening. Mr.
Sheridan has already sold enough tick-
ets to insure a success of the affair.

Members of the trade desiring to con-
tribute to the Vilmorin memorial are
requested to send their subscriptions at
once to A. T. Boddington, secretary of
the committee, as the time is close at
hand when the fijial remittance must be
sent to France.

Sigmund Geller already has many
Easter novelties on exhibition, the result
of his European trip. Among other
Christmas mementos, Mrs. Geller pre-
sented him with a handsome girl baby.

James Hart is shipping to out-of-
town customers who have been on his
books for over twenty years.

The Beauty King declares the bottom
of the market has been reached and
from now on until Easter the advance in
values and volume will continue.

Eeal estate in upper New York and
in Brooklyn is steadily advancing in
value. Fortunate indeed are the florists
whose ancestors located in the then sub-
urbs of the town. James Dean, who has
a mortgage on the presidency of Free-
port, L. I., vfas one of the first to realize
the rise in valuations, A slice of land
from the Wier estate near Bay Eidge
last week brought $60,000, and there
are others "only waiting."

F. W. 0. Schmitz, of Prince Bay, won
his suit against Otto Grundemann, of
SecaucuB, last week, securing judgment
for $628.23, and Fred W. Kelsey, of
New York, secured a judgment for $900
and costs from George Gould, of Lake-
wood, N. J., for three cars of rhododen-
drons.

The Scottii fern is as popular as
ever and Mr. Scott has had an enor-
mous sale on it, nearly every New York
retailer handling it in quantity. David
Clarke's Sons say they cannot get
enough of it and the demand is growing
constantly. The expected call for the
small stock will be anticipated by the
erection of another range of glass at
the Flatbush property early in the
spring.

There will be a goodly contingent of
New Yorkers at the carnation conven-
tion and some fine exhibits of novelties
from the east.

TORONTO.

Trade during the past two weeks has
been very slow and stuff has accumu-
lated considerably. Especially has this
been the case with those who were not in
time with their stock for Christmas,
while those who were in for Christmas
are so short on crop now that they do
not feel the drop in business. Carnations
have been gradually going down in price
until we hear them quoted as low as 80
cents per hundred for very good stock.
There is some satisfaction, however, in
the fact that business in other lines is
about as slow as in the flower business.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

Receipts are not large and a little good
business would clean the market in most
lines, but the outlet for the lower grades
of material has been frozen up during
the past week and the result has been
to weaken the selling value of the bet-
ter grades of stock. This has not been
so apparent in the case of good tea
roses from the; fact that the supply of
this item has been short and it has been
impossible to fill all orders in the way
the wholesalers would like to see them
go out. There are considerable quan-
tities of low grade Brides and Maids,
which are hard to move. The Beautv
situation shows some improvement. Qual-
ity is no better, in fact, probably not
•quite so good as it was a week ago, but
receipts are smaller and demand a little
heavier. The largest growers report their
stock now cleaning up fairly well each
day.

The receipts of carnations have been
•considerably larger than the require-
ments, but white stock has cleaned \ip
•quickly at good prices, the principal de-
mand of the week having been for fu-
neral material. Colored stock has been
sold at very low rates in large lots.

At no time this season have violets
been in so bad a shape as in the last
week. The receipts have been very heavy
indeed and the outlet for the stodc has
been closed by the zero weather, with
the result that prices for even the best
material are very low and large quan-
tities go to waste. This includes many
thoiisands of fine stock from the Hudson
River district and if the returns these
growers get from the New York mar-
ket are any worse than what they will
get from Chicago for the past week,
they are indeed entitled to sympathy.

It has become a chronic condition that
Romans and Paper Whites are a glut.
There are now abundant supplies of
Easter lilies and plenty of callas. Not
many tulips are seen and every now and
then a few bunches of yellow trumpet
narcissi. There are increasing supplies

of sweet peas and plenty of mignonette,
stevia, etc.

The absence of social work has re-
sulted in a slackening call for asparag:us
strings and smllax and other green goods
and there are abundant supplies. Adi-
antum is not so plentiful. The jobbers
are already taking common ferns from
cold storage and beginning to pick them
over. It looks somewhat as though they
might have no idle moments towards
spring.

The Winandy Matter.

The receiver for M. Winandy says that
he has not yet succeeded in getting much
light on the liabilities and assets in
the case, but the further he goes the
worse it looks. Besides those who had
sold Mr. Winandy material, numerous
parties had loaned him money and it
appears that some of the neighbors, fa-
miliar with his splendid reputation for
probity, had made him their banker. The
receiver finds, however, to say the least,
no haste on the part of the creditors \o
prove up their claims or even make pub-
lic the amounts. The laiw gives a year
in which to prove claims. In the mean-
time the receiver will try to keep the
expenses inside the receipts. If he can
not do it he will call a meeting of the
creditors and let them decide if they
want the plant closed. Bradstreet esti-
mates the liabilities at $70,000.

Richmond Rose.

The new Richmond rose will be largely
grown for this market next year. Peter
Reinberg has again increased his order
for stock and will get 15.000. The Bon-
they-Coatsworth Co. is considering build-
ing a new house 36x400 at New Castle
and planting it with 7.000 Richmond
and also planting part of another house
with it. Bassett & Washburn and Poehl-
mann Bros. Co. have each bought 5.000
Richmond and Wietor Bros, have 2,500
with the privilege of doubling it within
a certain date. Several others have or-
dered smaller quantities.

For McKinley Fund.

H. M. Altick, of Dayton. 0., who is
giving so much time and effort to rais-

ing funds for the McKinley memorial,
was a visitor at the Florists' Club last
Thursday. After listening to him the
club endorsed his suggestion that each
one who cared to do so set apart for the
fund a percentage of his carnation sales
for January 28 or 29. A committee
consisting of George Asmus, E. C. Am-
ling and Leonard Kill was appointed
to bring the matter before the trade and
the daily newspjipers. Retailers are
asked to give twenty-five per cent, grow-
ers fifteen per cent, and commission deal-
ers five per cent of their carnation sales.
Most of those present and a consider-
able number of others have endorsed the
movement. Carnation day is worth help-
ing along.

At the last meeting of the club thir-
teen new members were elected and sev-
eral others proposed.

Various Notes.

It is reported that E. Asmus & Co.,
on Evanston avenue, have sold their
stock and fixtures to Leopold Koropp,
who has taken a lease of the property
from Emil Buettner. Mr. Koropp is
to take possession next week. He is not
alone in the deal and will incorporate.
He will continue his place on West
Ravenswood Park avenue.

Not only will the Carnation Society
convention attract florists to Chicago
next week, but the annual exhibition of
(the National Fanciers' and Breeders'
Association at the Coliseum January
23 to 28 will interest a number, several
having been exhibitors of fancy stock in
past years.

Kroeschell Bros. Co. invites the Car-
nation Society members, and all others
who are interested in seeing how boilers
are made, to visit its big plant on the
north side.

Gus I^nge says that the zero weather
has had a very bad effect on transient
trade in the down-town district. He
has a little something doing all the
time because he executes Chicago orders
for a good many outside florists.

The A. Dietsch Co. has added a new
building to its factory to increase its
facilities in proportion to its increasing
business. °

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

The trade outlook is satisfactory,
despite several handicaps, especially the
weather of the past week, which made
walking not a very pleasant task and
transient trade out of the question.
About the only business done was over
the telephone. Those who had plant dec-
orations found it a difficult matter.
Floral arrangements at most of the so-
cial aflFairs were small. A great deal
of funeral work has been reported the
past week, which made white flowers in
ffreat demand, while colored stock was
m abundance at the wholesale housee. A
few shipments came in frozen and were,
of course, useless.

Quite a lot of long Beauties are in the
market, greatly reduced in price. This
stock was bought on Saturday for $3
per dozen, showing that the demand
was elow. Beauties at $1 to $2 per
dozen sold much better. Fancy stock
in other roses had a fair sale, while
lower grades went begging. Colored
carnations are in oversupply, but whites
were bought up each morning. The
price was down to $2 and $3 per hun-
dred the past week.

Bulbous stock is moving very slowly
and the supply is greatly in excess of
the demand. Callas and Harrisii are
coming in more freely; so are freesias
and Romans. Paper WSiites and valley
are almost a glut at the present time.
Violets are becoming very plentiful and
are not selling clean by any means. The
call for greens is reported slow.

Some extra fine Lorraine begonias,
azaleas, cyclamens and other blooming
plants are seen in the windows of the
west end florists, on which sales were
reported slow the past week.

Qub Meeting.

The Florists* Club held its regular
meeting last Thursday afternoon. Presi-
dent Juengel, having recovered from his
recent illness, occupied the chair. Twenty
members were present. The committee
on transportation to Chicago reported
a rate of $10 for the round trip and that
all members going should report to the
chairman, J. J. Beneke, by January 20.
so that all the members can go in a body,
as a special sleeper will be assigned to
tlu-m by the Wabaeh.

The club declined to accept Robert
Scott's resignation. Delinquent mem-
bers were given one more month to pay
or be dropped from the roll. On a mo-
tion the chair appointed as a commit-
tee to revise the constitution and by-
laws, Messrs. Koenig, Schray and Mein-
hardt. The advisability of holding a
flower show next fall was referred to
the trustees, who are to make a report
by next meeting.

A. Jablonsky made a motion to build
a club house for meetings and exhibi-
tions, with bowling alleys in the base-
ment. A committee of three was ap-
pointed to look into the matter, as fol-
lows: A. Jablonsky, Fred Ammann and
John Steidle.

The next meeting of the club will be
our annual carnation meeting. This will
be in charge of Messrs. Beneke, Schray
and Meinhardt. Fifty dollars in prizes
will be given. All carnation grower*
are invited to compete. This meeting
will take place Thursday afternoon,
February 9, at 2 o'clock.

Various Notes.

John Hanzel has opened a flower
store at Taylor avenue and Olive street.
Mr. Hanzel was formerly employed by
Alex. Waldbart. He is making a fine
show of Begonia Gloire de Lorraine in
his window this week.

Frank M. Ellis and John Burk were
on a hunting trip in the Ozark moun-
tains the past week. They claim that
a carload of fine rabbits will follow this
week. Any of the local florists who
want a rabbit dinner should make appli-
cation to Mr. Ellis. Fred Foster and
Alex. Siegel were to have gone with the
party, but the cold weather scared them
oflF.

Chief F. W. Taylor and Superintend-
ent J. H. Hadkinson are still in harness
at the World's Fair and report that
they will be for several months. The
Palace of Horticulture is now in the
hands of the wreckers and will by the
end of the week be a thing of the past.

Mr. Ussing, who was Mr. Hadkinson's.
right hand man during the season of
the World's Fair, is now in the employ
of Fred C. Weber.

The Ellison Floral Co. is moving this
week, just across the street from the
old location, to a much larger place,
with three large show windows, giving
them the much needed room.

A New Florists' Qub.
An invitation haa been sent to the
different growers in and around St.
Louis to join a new organization to
which growers only are to be admitted
to membership. A meeting has been
called for this week Thursday, January
19, in Louisiana Hall. The notice sent
out is signed by K H. Michel, F. W.
Ude, Jr., William Winter and E. Eg-
geling, Jr. J. J. B.

SWEET PEAS.

Will you kindly give me information
on the following questions through your
columns t At what time should sweet
pea seed, variety Mont Blanc, be sown
in solid beds in a greenhouse iu order to
have the bulk of the crop for next Easter,
April 23 f How far apart in the row
and how deep should the seed be sown?
Please state the best temperature for
them, night and day. My compost is
one year old and consists of four parts
rotted sod and one part cow manure.
Will it be necessary to feed them in ad-
dition to this at any time?

W. B. S.

This query has been sadly neglectecT,
yet if the desired information has not
been obtained elsewhere, there is no time
lost. Sow the seed about the last of this
month. Two inches deep is enough, or
■you can sow a few seeds in 3-inch pots
and transfer to the bed when the plants
are a few inches high. The rows should
be eighteen inches to two feet apart and
run north and south. Two plants may
be allowed to each string. That is
plenty thick enough, and the strings
eight inches apart. Keep that strong
growth which starts from the base of
plants, and the lateral growths, pinched
off or it will everwhelm the original vine,
which is to give the flower. The night
temperature should be from 45 to 48 de-
grees. Your compost needs no replen-
ishing. It is amply rich enough ; neither
need you feed with liquid manure.

AFTER A FIRE.

I have left after my recent fire five
empty benches, two middle benches with
soil and three sides without, and almost
all of my stock was destroyed. What
could I put in my houses to bring me in
a little surplus money for spring? I
do a local and wholesale trade.

S. N. C.

There is a variety of crops that you
might use to occupy the benches, but
it would not pay to purchase enough
stock to entirely fill all the benches at
once or you would have no space for
overflow, as the plants grew and needed
more room. If you have a good demand
at Easter, then there is time yet to start
hybrid perpetual roses; also, you can
procure azsileas, rhododendrons, deutzias
or Spiraea Japonica. A few plants or
rooted cuttings of several bedding
plants if gotten at once can be propa-
gated to any extent by spring. Such
plants as coleus, achyranthes, heliotrope,
etc. Then there is that most popular
plant, the canna; fine plants of these at
bedding time are always in good de-
mand. Sweet peas can be sown and
could be picked at Easter and on and
there is a great demand for these in
the month of May. The quickest crop
to yield you any returns might be a
bench of lettuce, which would be cut

and out of the way in time for you
to spread your bedding plants. I
don't suppose I have anywhere near
exhausted the list that would be avail-
able for your use. Lastly I would sug-
gest a few hundred Japan longiflorums
for Memorial day. Brought along cool
they are in good demand for that occa*
sion, W. S.

SPIRAEA FOR EASTER.

Will you kindly tell me what kind of
spirsea to grow, also culture of samet
There are many varieties and I am not
familiar with them; in fact, I have had
no experience in that line. I intend
growing a few plants of the best variety.

M. T. G.

This question was received a long time
3go, yet there is time to purchase the
roots end grow them for Easter; plenty
of time. Many growers stick to the old
species, Spiraea Japonica, which we can
very well remember being grown in an
old-fashioned conservatory fifty-five years
ago. If I make it any more distant
than that you will think I fought un-
der Washington. In those days it was
not a commercial plant and the same
roots were forced year after year, but
that would never pay nowadays in these
strenuous, high pressure times. The
roots are exceedingly inexpensive. It
is the amount of l^nch space they need
and the relatively low price at which
they sell that make them by no means
the most profitable plant we grow. As
to kinds, Spiraea Japonica is excellent,
very graceful and feathery, and I would
advise you to grow most of that. Spiraea
Japonica compacta makes a more dense,
compact spike but is not as graceful
for cutting. Then there are two other
forms, Gladstone and the Washington
variety. These make longer and larger
spikes of bloom. Try a few of each.

Like other early flowering plants that
we force, the nearer we approach the
natural flowering time, j;he less time.it-
will take to force them into flower.
Pot them by the first of February and
the first three weeks they can be placed
under a bench and removed to the light
as soon as top growth starts. As they
should receive a pot only large enough
to hold the ball of roots, and as they
are prodigious rooters, they require copi-
ous and frequent watering once the leaf
growth is well developed. It is of the
utmost advantage the last three weeks of
their growth to put a 6-inch or 7-inch

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market

The tone of the market is improving
this week. The supply, especially of
carnations, is a trifle lighter. While
there is not enough business to use
all the flowers offered, the tendency to-
ward lower prices appears to be creating
more demand for the lower grades. The
feature of the market this week is the
increase in the so-called spring flowers,
usually so popular during February:
Daffodils, chiefly single, which are sell-
ing exceptionally well; tulips, sweet
peas, pansies, daisies, freesias, which
are unusually scarce so far this season.
Mignonette and forget-me-nots are the
latest acquisitions at S. S. Pennock's.
Two staple flowers that might be prop-
erly classed in this section, violets and
lilies of the valley, are experiencing a
period of dullness.

Boses of good quality have been
really scarce ever since New Year's.
liVen the poorer ones have not found
their way to the street during the re-
cent ten days of carnation slaughter.
Long Beauties are more plentiful now,
but the medium grades continue scarce,
Liberty helping to fill their place. Good
Bride and Bridesmaid are scarce. Cat-
tleyas and gardenias are more plentiful
and lower in price. There are plenty of
cypripediums about. White lilacs are
to be found at nearly all the commission
houses. The quality is very fair and
.the HomnTK^ increasing. Poinsettias are
about over. Montresor, Yellow Prince
and La Beine have succeeded Proserpine
as the tulips of the day.

A Probable Settlement*
The meeting at Forty-ninth and Mar-
ket streets last week was not called by
the assignee, as erroneously stated in this
column two weeks ago, but by the firm.
Ecbert Craig addressed a meeting of

about fifty of his firm's creditors and
their representatives. He presented the
case fully. The discussion that followed
lasted for over an hour. Nearly all those
who spoke favored the acceptance of the
offer of 50 cents on the dollar. The as-
signee was not present, nor was he rep-
resented,

A very large majority of the credit-
ors have accepted the fifty-cent offer. It
was stated on the street that the offer
v.as made possible by a prominent
seedsman agreeing to furnish the money
necessary on security, presumably of the
real estate. Should the plan go through,
as now seems probable, it is believed that
enough will be saved to enable the firm
to resume business by July 1. This will
give great pleasure to the friends of Eob-
ert Craig. Their number is legion all
over the country.

At the Bellevue-Stratford*

John P. Habermehl was busily en-
gaged in his handsome new shop when
Phil called. Mr. Habermehl very cour-
teously made time to show his visitor
the improved ice-box facilities. The
beautiful show-case is chilled by frost-
covered pipes operated by a cold stor-
age plant. A pan arrangement permits
cleaning the pipes without removing the
flowers from or making any dirt in the
case.

In the light and airy cellar under-
neath is another case in which the greens
and flowers sold are kept. The hotel
engineer regulates the pipes in both
cases each day. Downstairs also is the
workroom and storeroom, the shelves
filled with paper, boxes, jars, etc. The
space, though limited, is sufficient, ex-
cept for very large orders, which are
executed at the Messrs, Habermehl 's
store and greenhouses at Twenty-second
and Diamond streets. Plants and rough
material are admitted by a side door
communicating with the back stairway.
Three phones are kept constantly in use.
Mr. Habermehl expressed himself as well
pleased with the business done in his
new store so far.

Various Notes.
The Leo Niessen Co. 's supply of long-
stemmed American Beauties is very flue
now. They are handling a great many

nice yellow and white tulips and white
lilacs, A heavy business in galax and
hardy ferns has been developed. Their
shipping orders cover the entire range of
market staples and are very important
factors of their large business.

A, E, Wohlert, of Bala, has sent some
fronds of a new adiantum to Fred Ehret.
This is a very pretty thing that bears
something the same resemblance to
Adiantum cuneatum that Asparagus
Sprengeri does to Asparagus plumosus.

The Henry A. Dreer Co. is sending out
hardy rhodendrons and azaleas for Eas-
ter forcing.

Steven Mortensen, of Southampton, is
cutting a nice crop of choice Brides,
Maids and Liberties. They go, as of
yore, to S. S. Pennock. Mr. Pennock
must have mentioned this at his home,
or it got about "somehow, for a party of
the Lansdowne florists, James Verner,
William Munro, W. A. Leonard and Da-
vid Anderson, were seen journeying out
to Southampton last week.

The Flower Market has established a
reputation for lightning delivery and fine
stock.

Edward Eeid has been experiencing a
lively demand for his choice Hudson River
Marie Louise violets. Mr. Eeid is both
for and against Campbell, odd but true.

Berger Bros, are handling some nice
mignonette and sweet peas.

Edward Seidewitz, of Annapolis, was
in this city recently.

H. H. Battles has been wintering at
Thomhedge. This is his first season in
the country.

L K. Peacock proposes abandoning
carnations and violets after this season
in order to devote himself exclusively
to the dahlia.

The Floral Exchange is sending some
nice Golden Gate to E. Bernheimer.

Wm. J. Meore is becoming a decided-
factor in the carnation market.

John G. Gardiner addressed the Penn-
sylvania Horticultural Society on the
multiflora as a stock for grafting out-
door roses last Tuesday evening.

M, Rice & Co. are developing their
ribbon business among florists exclusive-
ly. Their dotted chiffons in soft and
pleasing colors are very effective for
tying on baskets.

Johnson & Stokes are calling atten-
tion to the probable shortage in several
important vegetable seeds, recommend-
ing the placing of early orders.

The army of Holland bulb growers'
salesmen has been hard at work since
New Year's industriously canvassing this

H. Bayersdorfer & Co. propose mak-

Albert Woltemate and George Eedles

of the Germantown Horticultural So-
ciety. They propose interesting J. F.
Mergenthaler in that active body.

The recent public utterances of David

that at the Grecian oracle at Delphi,
lead to the hope among the cut flower
men that he may occasionally be seen
at their camp, even at the holidays.

Eevikw 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.

24-— I have been shipping carnations to
a commission house until after Christ-
mas. The returns were poor. I changed
to another commission house, with worse
results. "Would I do better by dividing
my stock and shipping half to one and
half to the other?

It is not a good plan to divide ship-
ments unless the place is a very large
one. Changing around during the sea-
son is one of the evils of our business.
When a commission man develops a trade
for your stock it is only fair to stand
by him until the end of the season.
When returns are poor, go in town and
look carefully over the field yourself
before making a change. It will pay.

The delayed shipments of European
seeds have been coming to hand heavily
in the past few days and everyone is
busy.

Many in the trade are looking for
the grower who makes the best delivery
on 1904 contract bean orders previous
to closing orders for 1905.

A sign of prosperity in the seed line
is the enlarged catalogues being sent
out by many dealers who heretofore
have issued modest price lists.

Free seeds from the government com-
ing to a Chicago address where two
occupants of the premises are in the
sted business would seem to be over-
doing things.

Much fault is being found with the
percentage of germination of field corn
samples that have been sent out. This
is surprising, as the 1904 product has
been considered a well cured crop.

Serious delays in getting seeds out
of the appraiser's store is again caus-
ing trouble in the filling of rush or-
ders. Up to the present the delay has
not been so bad as last year, however.

The oldest appeal still pending in the
Circuit Court for the Southern District
of New York is one of J. M. Thorburn
& Co. against a customs decision of De-
cember 10, 1890, under the tariff act of
1883, relating to an importation of
bulbs.

The Norwalk, O., Chronicle of Jan-
uary 12 contains a column article de-
scriptive of the development of the busi-
ness of C. S. Clark, of Wakeman; who
is stated to handle yearly about 175,
000 bushels of seed corn. Burpee's White
Evergreen, a novelty of 1904, originated
with Mr. Clark.

The a. a. Berry Seed Co., Clarinda,
la., has been organized as a stock com-
pany and incorporated with $75,000 cap-
ital, fully paid in; A. A. Berry, presi-
dent and general manager, and W. C.
Aflfeld, secretary. Business is in a most
prosperous condition and has a bright
outlook. They are extensive growers of
vine seeds, sweet com and onion sets,
also large handlers of grass seeds.

At the meeting of the executive com-
mittee held at the Grand hotel, Cincin-
nati, January 10, it was decided to hold
the next convention of the American Seed
Trade Association at Alexandria Bay,
N. Y., June 20 to 22. There were pres-
ent President C. N. Page, A. H. Good-
win, G. B. McVay, All^rt McCullough,
J. Chas. McCullough, J. G. Peppard and
Secretary C. B. Kendel. Hotel arrange-

wUl be held on the St. Lawrence, June, 1905.

Clias. r. Braslan,

The delayed sliijmients of Kuiopean
seeds liave been loiiiin^ to liand lieavily
in the past few days and everyone is
busy.

Many in tlie trade are lookinjj for
tlie jjrowcr wlio makes the best delivery
on 190-4 contract bean orders previous
til closing orders for 1905.

A SIGX of prosperity in the seed line
is the enlarged catalogues being sent
out by many dealers "who heretofore
have issued modest price lists.

Frek seeds from tiie government com-
ing to a Chicago address where two
occupants of tlie premises are iu the
seed business would seem to be over-
doing things.

^lucH fault is being found with the
percentage of germination of field corn
samples that have been sent out. This
is surprising, as the 1904 product has
been considered a well cured crop.

•Serious delays in getting seeds out
of the appraiser's store is again caus-
ing trouble in the filling of rush or-
ders. Up to the present the delay has
not been so bad as last year, however.

The oldest appeal still pending in the
Circuit Court for the Southern District
of New York is one of J. 'M. Thorburn
& Co. against a customs decision of De-
cember 10, 1890, under the tariff act of
ISS.^, relating to an importation of
bulbs.

The Xorwalk. 0.. Clironicle of Jan-
uary 12 contains a column article de-
scriptive of the development of tlie busi-
ness of C. S. Clark, of AVakeman, who
is stated to handle yearly about 175,
000 bushels of seed corn. Burpee's White
Evergreen, a novcUv of l!t04. oriiiinated

The a. .'\. Berry Seed Co.. Chirinda.

pany and incorporated with .$75,000 caji-
ital, fully paid in; A, A. Berry, presi-
dent and general manager, and W. C.
Affeld. secretary. Business is iu a most
prosperous condition and ha.s a briglit
outlook. They are extensive growers of
vine seeds, sweet corn and onion sets.
also large handlers of grass seeds.

At the meeting of the executive com-
mittee held at the Grand hotel. Cincin-
nati, January 10, it was decided to hold
the next convention of the American Seed
Trade Association at Alexandria Bay,
N. y., June 20 to 22. There were pres-
ent President C. N. Page, A. H. Good-
win. G, B. McVay, Albert AfcCuUough.

Booheater. The 29th annual convention will be
held at West Baden, Ind., June, 1906.

The Jonathan apple has occupied first
place in all the markets this season and
the variety will be largely planted in the
west next spring.

Patrick Lee, nurseryman, has begun
action to abate the alleged nuisance of
certain junk yards on the route taken by
tourists going to Manitou, in Colorado.

L. L. May & Co., St. Paul, are intro-
ducing a new hardy apple of which they
giiarantee to replace every tree which
dies before it produces a bushel of fruit.

The building in which the oflSce of the
Peterson Nursery, Chicago, has been lo-
cated since the big fire, is to be rebuilt
next summer and the nursery office will
shortly be removed to the Stock Ex-
change building.

The fiftieth anniversary of the West-
ern New York Horticultural Society will
be celebrated at Rochester January 25
and 26. There will be a large exhibition
and many nurserymen will be present.
W. C. Barry is president of the society.

The Georgia State Horticultural So-
ciety, of which P. J. Berckmans is presi-
dent, has issued the proceedings of its
twenty-eighth annual meeting in pam-
phlet form, 120 pages, containing for-
mvHed for fighting insect pests and
fungous diseases, also catalogue of the
fruits grown in the state and much other
matter of value to both nurseryman and
fruit grower.

PROPAGATING KALMIA.

How and when can cuttings from the
rhododendron or mountain laurel be
successfully propagated, or will the at-
tempt to propagate prove profitable?

M. J. S.

The mountain laurel, Kalmia latifolia,
and its varieties are not easily propa-
gated from cuttings. The best method
and that usually practiced by nursery-
men, i(S to gather and sow the seeds as
soon as ripe in a cool greenhouse, either
in pots or pans of light, peaty compost
with plenty of sand added. Prick the
seedlings off into other flats when lar^e
enough to handle and when sufficiently
hardened plant outdoors. Grafting of
special varieties on seedlings of Kalmia
latifolia is sometimes done and layer-
ing is also practiced to some extent, but
the general method is to raise them from
seed. W. N. C.

FRANK HAMILTON.

The accompanying portrait is that of
Frank Hamilton who, as was recently
announced on this page, has associated
himself with the Cottage Gardens Co.,
Queens, N. Y., having direct charge of
the nursery and landscape department.
Mr. Hamilton began his horticultural
career with the F. B. Pierson Co., Tar-
rytown, N. Y. After having been there
for a while he went into business for
himself, having a large establishment on
Staten Island, growing plants and flow-
ers for the New York market. After

that he was with the Pierson Co. for
several years as a traveling salesman,
representing them among the trade in
eastern states. He also has had an ex-
tended experience in their rose houses
and was for some time foreman of tboir
Scarboro nursery, so that he has an all-
round experience in the trade, followed
by several years in the New York parks.
At Central park he had a large experi-

Frank Hamilton.

ence in improving work done some years
before, and as head gardener for the
Department of the Bronx he had charge
of all planting and construction work,
having 800 men in his charge. He has
many friends, and will be a strong addi-
tion to the corporation in which he has
now acquired an interest.

ONCINNATL

The Market.

While business is showing a consider-
able improvement over the last two
weeks, yet it is not quite up to standard.
The demand in all lines is weak, but
prospects now point toward a slight im-
provement. The supply has been very
heavy in all lines and as a rule the qual-
ity did not average up very well. The
price consequently has been low. The
best quality of goods sold out as a rule.
Beauty has been in pretty heavy sup-
ply, especially long ones. Other varie-
ties of red roses did somewhat better.
White roses were in best demand. Car-
nations came in by the thousands and
sold in many cases at summer prices.

, The present outlook is very much bet-
ter. The supply has gone down consid-
erably and prices are consequently ad-
vancing. The demand, too, is somewhat
heavier.

Variotis Notes.

Owing to the very severe weather last
Saturday but few members of the Flor-
ists' Society were on hand, so a meeting
was not held. The next meeting will be
the annual rose show on February 11.
This usually brings forth a very good
show and indications are that this year
will be no exception.

The carnation show at Chicago is now
the main subject of conversation and
when the time comes there will be about
ten in the party from here. Very few
flowers will be sent from this city. It
seems to be an oflF year for the growers
here, but those that do go will be well
wortii seeing.

Julius Baer has leased two stores
located not far from his present quar-
ters, and, after fitting them up in flrist-
class style, will move there.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

JANUABY 10, 1006.

• BUFFALO.

The Market.

I am sorry to say that nearly all par-
ties pronounce business as very quiet.
A few days after New Year's the bot-
tom seemed to drop out of festivities,
and little social gatherings and dinner
parties demanding but a few dozen roses
or carnations is what we have to de-
pend on. Carnations are plentiful,
violets more than abundant, but good
roses not at all overdone. Tulips are
just arriving and welcomed as a change.
The weather has been against business
and that seems general. Every variety
is served up once a week. You need
skates for the sidewalk on Monday,
snow shoes on Tuesday, waterproof rub-
bers on Wednesday, Eskimo apparel for
Thursday, umbrellas on Friday, a mix-
ture of the foregoing on Saturday and
such a howling blizzard on Sunday that

Various Notes.

We had a well attended meeting of
the club last Friday and the final de-
tails of the Sweeney flower show were
completed. The company gives the
Florists' Club $1,100 in premiums. It
will be held four days, commencing
Tuesday, April 11. The classes are al-
most entirely devoted to such plants as
w© offer for Easter and there is a
chance for everybody. Surely this
ought to bring out a large display.
Every local grower as well as store man
should be represented. Charlie Keitsch
is manager, so all looks fair.

We had the pleasure of talking over
the phone yesterday with E. G. Hill.
Wonder what he thought of our de-
lightful climate? We would have much
liked to see the good man and his
Bichmond rose. Mr. Clucas, Jr., was
also in town and that excellent commer-
cial traveler (drummer is too vulgar a
word in this case) Harry Bunyardj
"God bless me, oh, yes indeed!"

I forgot to mention that at our club
meeting Dan'l B. Long was appointed a
committee of one to solicit subscrip-
tions to the McKinley memorial fund
and he has promised to go at the work
promptly and with his usual energy. Mr.
Altick will think Buffalo has been very
negligent over his worthy object, but
in truth the one expected to take up
the work has had all the vim and en-
ergy taken out of him for the past three
months. W. S.

EASTER LILIES.

I have a lot of Easter lilies in 6-inch
pots, from five to seven inches' high, very
thrifty looking. They have been kept
in 60 to 65 degrees night temperature,
bottom of pots full of root*. I want
to have them in bloom by or a little
before Easter. Shall I shift into 7-
inch pots and keep at the same temper-
ature, or shall I increase the tempera-
ture and shall I use liquid manure? Is
bone meal any advantage mixed with
soil? H. M. M.

Considering the late date of Easter
you have your lilies too far advanced.
It is not a good plan to reduce the
temperature on these lilies, as they will
often become stunted. The only time
I like to remove them to a much lower
temperature is after the buds are turn-
ing white. They will open then in a

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

JANUABT 19, 1905.

TOO LITTLE HEAT.

I have a house J5xl08, eight feet to
ridge, new and tight, no glass on sides
and in only one end. The piping con-
sists of one 4-inch flow on the plates,
crossing the house and supplying three
3-incb returns under the benches. These
empty into a 3^4 -inch pipe to the boiler.
The flow starts eighteen inches above
the boiler and has a rise of twenty
inches. There is an expansion tank six
feet above the boiler and a vent pipe
at the highest point, farthest from the
boiler. The boiler consists of four sec-
tions, fifty-six inches high, twenty-eight
inches wide and twenty-six inches deeo.
The grate is 18x18 inches. The chim-
ney is twelve inches in diameter and
twenty feet high. The circulation is
good, the draught strong, but the pipes
do not get hot. The heater is said to
have a capacity for 700 feet of radiation.
What is the trouble f G. 0. K.

I see no criticism of the system of
piping used. The one point which is
not clear is the amount of heating sur-
face in the boiler. The grate surface
is suflScient to provide heat for ninety
feet of heating surface with hard coal.
The boiler, to supply 700 feet of radia-
tion, should have at least ninety feet of
heating surface, and even more if it is
a cast-iron boiler. If soft coal is used
it should have about 180 feet of heat-
ing surface for the grate area, which
would make the boiler capable of carrv-
ing about 1,400 feet of radiation. The
kind of fuel used and the make of the
boiler are not stated, so it is only pos-
sible to guess at the fault, which is
probably too small an amount of heat-
ing surface in the boiler. The pipe in
the house as at present arranged, gives
about 400 feet of radiation, which with
a good boiler should be sufficient for
carnations and cool stuff generallv.

PACIFIC COAST.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market

Sphere is quite a dearth of flowers just
at present. The only thing that saves
the stores from a general look of empti-
ness is that there is only a very limited
demand for the small amount of stock
the retailers have to offer. Business,
outside of an occasional funeral order,
is very dull. Social happenings of any
importance are not numerous this month.
We are beginning to have a considerable
supply of bulbous stock to select from,
and mums are daily becoming scarcer
and of poorer quality. Carnations and
roses are about equal to the demand. The
prices have not changed for several
weeks, and I do not think they will for
another month yet. I saw some fine En-
chantress and Prosperity today from the
greenhouses of P. C. Meyer & Co., at
Burlingame, that cost the retailers 75
cents per dozen, but they were extra
stock and the majority of growers do
not receive over 50 cents per dozen for
these varieties. Freesias, daffodils, tu-
lips, Boman hyacinths and narcissi are
plentiful and of very slow sale. Violets
are about equal to the demand and cost
the dealers from 75 cents to $1 per dozen
bunches.

Variotst Notes.

The building formerly occupied by
Geo. B. Jones, on Sutter street, near
Grant avenue, has been torn down and
Mr. Jones has retired from business. He
is one of the pioneers in the trade in
San Francisco and has been very suc-
cessful during his entire career of over
twenty-five years.

Fred. Seulberger has been appointed
horticultural inspector for Alameda coun-
ty, vice P. J. Keller, who has been re-
tired by the board of supervisors.

We regret to chronicle the death of
Louis Becanne, son of John Becanne,
the Alameda florist. Mr. Becanne was 24
years of age and had been in delicate
health for some time.

A. Galloway, of Fruitvale, is cutting
some fine white carnations from a sport
he has raised from the pink. Marquis. It
bids fair to be a valuable acquisition,
and Mr. Galloway is giving it a thorough
test.

Six local firms will make exhibits of
seeds and nursery stock at the Lewis
and Clark Exposition at Portland this
year.

Over in Oakland the Board of Trade
has been exhibiting during the past week
several branches of Boyal Ann cherries
that have just ripened on the grounds
of O. Luning, near Alden. How is that
for California climate?

J. Firgens, of the firm of Firgens &
Schmitz, Stockton, is in town on a short

EASTERN CARNATIONS.

"I am tired of paying so much for
my experience," remarked one of our
largest carnation growers to me this
week, when asked whether he was going
to plant for the coming season any of
the new eastern varieties of pinks that
are being offered for the first time to the
wholesale dealers. "I have lost consid-
erable money during the past five years
in trying to keep up with the new sorts,

give the retailers something different
each season and grow kinds that every
forcer of carnations was not sending in
to the stores. I am in the future only
going to fill my houses with such kinds
as have been tested by other growers
around San Francisco and are known to
produce paying crops of marketable flow-
ers under our conditions. In other
words, I am going to let some other fel-
low experiment for a while, and I am
going to profit by his experience."

He pointed to a house 30x170 feet, as
he spoke, that was planted to six pink
and red varieties of last year's introduc-
tion, containing about 4,000 plants, and
continued :

"I spent about $500 for the stock that
is planted in this house, and up to date
I have not been able to get back the
first cost of the stock. Many varieties
that are successes in the east do not
come up to the mark under our condi-
tions. I purchased one variety on the
description of the introducer and, al-
though the plants are rank growers, the
flowers are not seen very often, and I
shall throw it out. The public seemed
to be tiring of Mrs. Lawson, and I sent
for 1,000 of another sort that was said
to be good in every way, but I have only

were not so badly burst as to be un-
salable. From another firm I purchased
1,000 young plants of a new scarlet, but
they developed such a fondness for stem-
rot, which I had never had in my houses
before, that I threw them all out. I am
going to confine myself to the older va-
rieties in future. Of course I have the
fun of satisfying myself as to the merits
of the various kinds but, as I am out of

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

Januaby 19, 1905.

CXEVELAND.

Qub Meeting.

I wish to correct my notice in last
week's isaue pertaining to the flower
show to be held by the Florists' Club,
on January 23. At the last meeting
it was thought best to postpone this
meeting until Februal-y 13, the second
Monday in the month. This was done
80 it would not conflict with the conven-
tion at Chicago. The new rose, Kich-
mond, was exhibited at this meeting
and created favorable comment. Rob-
ert George, of Painesville, was the
custodian of the valuable exhibit. J
special committee, consisting of Isaac
Kennedy, Robert George and Michael
Bloy were appointed to pass upon its
merits. They reported as follows:

That It Is a decided acquisition to the red
rose class, an Improvement on Liberty, being a
freer producer, lighter In color, or a more
pleasing shade, with delightful fragrance, not
too heavy in foliage. Being able to grow In
a Bride and Maid temperature is considered
n great advantage and It is said to be a most
prolific bloomer.

It was decided to make this commit-
tee permanent, with thie additional
names of Adam Graham and John Kel-
ly, to T)a8s upon and issue certificates
of merit and honorable mention for
seedling carnations and roses or any
novelties exhibited before the club, to
be guided by the scales adopted by the
carnation, rose and chrysanthemum so-
cieties. Forest City.

I GET much pleasure and profit out of
the Review every week. — Feed Hatch,
Seranton, Pa.

No beginner in the trade, like myself,
can afford to do without the Revhw. —
Otto Brenneke, Portland, Ore,

Please discontinue my advertise-
ment of geraniums, as the plants are all
sold; am highly pleased with results. — ^A.

grown three years. It is a very profitable variety on account of it being so very late : begins
blooming December 20. continuing to middle of January; color, salmon pink; large and full;
strong grower, three to four feet, foliage dark green leaves, well up to bloom, and a good
keeper. On account of its lateness, it is bound to be exceedingly valuable.

PERRY FLORISTS' ASSOQATION.

The Perry Florists' Association is an
organization of a number of florists
through Iowa and southern Minnesota,
which holds periodical meetings at the
establishments of its members. The
mid-winter meeting for this season was
held January 10, 11 and 12 at the green-
houses of W. S. Hall, at Oaage, la. As
has been the rule at the meetings of the
association, much of value in a business
way was learned, aside from the social
features of the three days' session. The
election of officers resulted as follows:
.President, A. N. Kinsman, Austin,
Minn.; secretary and treasurer, W. S.
Hall, Osage, la.

There were a considerable number of
exhibits, the diBcuseion of which was a
most interesting feature of the meeting.
J. D. Thompson Carnation Co., JoHet,
111., sent twenty-five blooms of its new
red carnation, Robt, Craig, which were
very highly commended. The C. C. Poll-
worth Co., of Milwaukee, sent some very
fine Chatenay roses and good stevia.

The next meeting will take place in
.July at the establishment of W. T.
Symonds, at Decorah, la.

DENVER.

Cut flower trade has been good since
holidays. Roses are rather scarce, with
a good supply of carnations and every-
thing used up pretty clean.

The march of progress in improve-
ments the coming summer is cropping out
already and some of the growers are
laying plans for the construction of sev-
eral houses for the cultivation of Beau-
ties and other roses.

The start made by an eastern man
here during the holidays in a flower store
results in failure. Inexperience in the
business and the lack of good help were
the causes.

The prospect of one of our seed mer-
chants branching out into the floral de-
partment is good. He thinks the asso-
ciation of flowers will be more conge-
nial than parrots and goldflsh.

Great Divide.

We are much pleased with the Eeview
and wonld not be without It. — Whittakee
Bros., Cornwall, Ont.

While we would all like to curtail ex-
penses, I believe it is no economy to try
to get along without the Review. — Geo.
D. Dudley, New Market, N. H.

to the trade
that this

Three of our Seedling Caroatioos

BSATBXOE will perhaps not displace Enchantress, but It will pay you well to Krow it
for a more moderate priced bloom. It is not quite so larKe. but it is much freer and more
profitable. It is just what you want in large quantities for your every-day trade. Plenty
large enough and the color is beautiful, both under artiflcial as well as by daylight. Fine
form and a good keeper. Planted by August 1st comes into full crop September Ist, and
never lets up : no croppei . Long, strong fitems and does not burst.

XVDIANA IKASKET is a fine all-the-year-roond white, and by far the most profitable
white we have today.

(Of Maceo.)

RED SPORT

This new "Bread and Butter" commercial brilliant "Crane" Red Carnation, now in its foortb
year, has the hardy constitution of General Macea, with a stronger heavier growth, longer and stiffer
stem and a larger flower. Growing under the same conditions and in tbe same bouse with Flamingo
and Estelle it has produced four times as many blooms as the former and twice as many blooms as
the latter. Tbe color is as good as Estelle and the bloom brings as much as does Estelle at its beat.
Every flower is of a uniform brilliant red, perfectly double with an Ideal calyx, in fact we never aaw
a split one.

Bad Sport is perfectly healthy, an easy variety to grow, an early and continuous bloomer,
throwing its heaviest cuts around the Christmas holidays and during the Winter monttis when red is
in demand. Bad Sport will keep longer and travel farther than any other red carnation, and wUl
prove a bonanza to tbe grower who does a shipping business. If the scarcity of reds in the market
that now exists continues Bad Sport will pay better to the square foot of bench than any other
variety of any color to date. Every florist who has seen Bad Sport growing has placed an order
for rooted cuttings, which tells the tale. All our stock is sold up to January 25th. Orders filled in
strict rotation from that date on. Price. 12 for S1.50, 25 for t2.60. 60 for 14.00 all post paid. 16.00 per 100,
$60.00 per 1000, by express. We guarantee all cuttings to be well rooted and to arrive in good condition.

The Market.

This -week again sees this city the cen-
ter of a severe storm. Snow has fallen
and the thermometer ranges below zero,
thereby causing a lull in the market. A
very few receptions were held the past
week, but there was a large amount of
funeral work. Roses are beginning to
come in of good quality. Sk)me
fine carnations are to be seen
and prices are a trifle lower than
last week. Quite a number of
receptions are on the books for next
week, including the annual meeting of
the implement dealers, who furnish quite
an amount of work for the florists. When
the weather breaks things wUl brighten
up a bit and we look for good business.

Various Notes.
Samuel Murray will have the largest
decoration of the week, having the Par-
lin-Orendorff display in honor of the
visiting implement dealers. Sam has had
this decoration for a number of years
but says that this year's display ia far
in excess of any he has had before.

James Payne has some fine stock grow-
injf for the spring trade and reports busi-
ness fairly good.

"Mrs. Duss has sold out to Mann &
Chiles. Mr. Mann formerly worked for
A. P. Barbe and is well up in floral
work.

Miss Jewell reports very good business
the past week, chiefly funeral work.

D. Freudenthal has been making the
rounds the past week among the grow-
ers, buying up stock. He reports trade
as quiet at present in his new location.

John Schneider haa closed up his busi-
ness on East Eleventh street, but will
continue at the old stand on Walnut.

Several of the leading stores were
closed Sunday and it is hoped that be-
fore long all will close on that day, as
enough business can be done during the
week to justify closing.

Ed. Ellsworth, of Kellogg 's, has pat-
ented a plant box for carrying palms for
decorative purposes. A wagon-load of
palms were enclosed in these boxes and
taken out with the mercury hovering
around zero. They were successfully car-
ried in an open wagon a distance of
over a mile and were not injured.

Nelson Jarrett is staying close to home
these days and has some fine stock com-
ing on for the spring trade.

Mrs. M. A. Biggam, Leavenworth, re-
ports business as fine in that town and
is putting some good stuff on the market

GLEN COVE, N. Y.

The Nassau County Horticultural So-
ciety held the second of its regular
monthly meetings on January 4, on the
premises of Felix Mense, who has grant-
ed this as a place of meeting till a per-
manent one be decided upon. Notwith-
standing the inclemency of the weather,
there was a good attendance which would
seem thus to augur well for a successful
career to this newly organized society.
President Harrison occupied the chair.
The chief business at the meeting was
the adoption of by-laws for the society,
submitted by the executive committee.
Some lively discussions followed.

SEED SOWING.

When is the proper time to sow aster
and tomato seed in a greenhouse to have
early plants to set outt Is twelve inches
the proper distance to have a bench for
growing the same from the glass? My
house is an even span running east and
west. If you will kindly answer same
in an early number you will oblige.

R. P.

. If you have plenty of room you can
BOW both asters and tomatoes about the
first of March. In the case of asters,
this would be a long way too early ex-
cept for a very early crop and of late it
seems the asters that can be cut in Sep-
tember and early October are in most
demand and bring the highest price. To-
matoes sown March 1 can be shifted on
until they are in 4-inch pots and in flow-
er at planting out time. As for distance
from glass for these young plants, that is
of little consequence if the house is light.
The onlv advantage of being near the
glass for any plant is that they get a
purer and better circulation of air.

What a few Say, All That Use It Say.

Mdiiti-lair. N I~-l iliiiik your The Fumi=
KBtlnir Kind Tobacco Po\\deris by far the

iiii)?t tllectiveand satisfactory Fumigator on tlie
niarket, not only as regards its results, butalso
in tlie iiietliods ol using, and I have gladly
recoinmcndLd it to my triends. Tlie Sprinkling
Kind Tobacco Powder is equally good and
effective. H. i'.RADl.KV.

Marion, Ind. — Your FumiKatinK
Kind Tobacco Powder has given me
more satisfaction than any other kind of
insecticide. and I have used all the latest
in\ entions. I have \13ed U now for two
years and think it is tlie safest, cheapest
and easiest to handle on the market.
GINN'AR TKILMANN.

Troy, N V. — Enclosed please
find two dollars; ship at once lUli
pounds The PumigatlnK KI10
Tobacco Powder. It was a

pleasure the freedom we enjoyed
last season from insects through
the use ot your powder.

JOHN H. DIKK.

The PumiKatine Kind Tobac-

FREE trial five-pound bag will cost yoo nothing more than the express charges on it. The trial
bag will prove our assertion that it is the most effective, cleanest and quickest as well as the
cheapest (10 cents per 100-foot house) article to fumigate with. All aphis killed in one night —
our booklet tells of it; we mail one on request.

PITTSBURG.

The Market

While we started in with twelve or
fifteen inches of snow January 9, and
had a couple of daye of rain and slush
in the middle of the week, winding up
Friday and Saturday with nice, clear,
frosty winter weather, business was fair
for the week. The stores were all do-
ing a nice business, while the receptions
and weddings helped along. Randolph
& McClements had a number of hand-
some decorations, among them several
for Mrs. H. H. Westinghouse, at one of
which the Westinghouse rose was used
on the table, making a very beautiful
decoration.

Various Notes.

John Murchie, of Sharon, and James
Walker, of Walker & McLean, Youngs-
town, O., visited the Pittsburg Bose &
Carnation Co. the past week and while
in the city Mr. Murchie showed several
of his new seedling carnations; one, a
bright red, was very favorably com-
mended.

Walter Breitenstein was out canoeing
one day last week, trying his hand at
dodging cakes of ice in the Allegheny.

A. W. Smith is forcing very fine lilac
and yellow trumpet narcissus.

Ii. I. Neflf is back at business after a
siege of grip contracted during the holi-
days. Among those who are still ill are
Mrs. E. A. Williamfl, Wm. Flemm and
John Baldinger.

We hear a good deal of talk about
the Carnation Convention. Already the
following have declared their intention
of going: I. S. Crall, Monongahela;
Mr. DeMuth, Connellsville; Mr. War-
rick, Washington; John Murchie, Sha-
ron; Mr. Walker, Youngstown; John
L. Wyland, Fred Burki, T. P. langhans.
W. A- Clarke, J. B. Murdoch and
James L. Wyland, and no doubt there
will be several others by starting time.
This delegation expects to go via Rich-
mond, Ind., stopping over there one day.
The P. C. C. & St. L. is the most direct
route, and we shall probably all go that
way. The stop-over at Richmond will
necessitate purchasing mileage, as the
one and one-third fare tickets are
not good for a stop-over. We
shall leave this city Monday even-
ing, arriving at Richmond early
Tuesday, leaving Richmond Tues-
day evening for Chicago. Any florists
from this section who desire to join this
party will please communicate with T.
P. Langhans, 504 Liberty avenue, Pitts-
burg.

Marshall Anderson, of A. W. Smith's,
met with a serious accident Monil''"

FLAT IRON RAFTER TYPE.

While the same in general outline as the
ordinary flat rafter type of greenhouse that
has been on the market for years, yet our
construction is so far improved in every
detail it is far from ordinary— it is in a class
by itself.

We furnish it in two styles for commercial
and private use, both U and even span. The
commercial style shown in the illustration
has our galvanized ** U" bar eaves plate and
is supported on galvanised iron foot pieces
set in concrete.

The style for private use is provided with
cast-iron sills set on brick walls and is f ur-
nisl^ed with gutter at eaves line.

SASH BAR TYPE.

Wt manufacture this type of house in
several grades from the low priced all cypress
grade to the highest grade of combination
w^ood and iron.

The house shown in the illustration is
composed of our highest grade and consists of
our galvanized "U" bar eaves supported on
galvanized angle iron side posts with foot
pieces bedded in concrete. The roof is sup-
ported on iron columns and angle iron pur-
lins, making a strong durable house at a
reasonable price.

It stands next to our flat rafter type in
stanchness and durability.

Our lower priced grades of sash bar houses
are manufactured with just the same care
and attention to every detail.

All cypress used is selected and free from
sap or knots.

RIDGE AND FURROW TYPE

We manufacture this type of house in all
our constructions and of all widths of span.

The range shown in illustration consists of
our highest grade sash bar with galvanized
'^U" bar eaves and galvanized angle iron
posts.

It is provided with our galvanized " V "
iron center gutter arranged to catch all water
of condensation on under side of glass.

It is absolutely dripless and is without
doubt the most perfect center gutter yet pre-
sented. It is supported on galvanized iron
pipe columns which are bedded in concrete.

Snd. It comes to perfection without special care or culture
and can be grown in the same soil and temperature and
with the same treatment given to Bride and Maid.

4th. Has very near the same tone of color as Liberty, with
more scarlet and does not blue with age.

6th. This variety is nearly a pure tea, being seeded from

a result has shown no tendency toward going dormant in
mid-winter, at which time the variety is at its very best.

CARNATIONS!

VARIEGATED LAWSON— This variety^ introduced by us this season, is sure to meet with
popular favor. It is a sport from MRS. THOS. W. LAWSON, pore ivory white, with delicate carmine pen-
cilingfs. Mr. W. N. Ctaig, an authority on everything pertaining to horticulture, states that he believes
this will outbloom the favorite, MRS. M. A. PATTEN, two to one. For some reason or other, the stem seems
to be longer than that of MRS. THOS. W. LAWSON, and the flowers are less inclined to burst. It is a beau-
tiful variegated variety, and one that is sure to be in demand on account of its delicate pencilings. It is
superb in every respect. Our exclusive purchase of this variety has created a sensation in the daily press
of the country. Per hundred, $12.00; per thousand, $IOO.OO«

FIANCEE— The Queen of Pink Carnations— In a

dais by itself. Magnificent flowers; strictly fancy in
every respect. Per hundred, $12.00; per thousand, $100.00.

CARDINAL— Bright Cardinal or Crimson-Scarlet. Per
hundred, $12.00; per thousand, $103.00.

FRED BURKI — Recommended as an extra free-blooming
white yariet/ and a claimant for popular favor. Per
hundred, $12.00; per thousand, $100.00.

THE BEST OF LAST SEASON'S NOVELTIES

AND OLDER STANDARD SORTS

WHITE liAWSON— We consider this variety, which we
introduced last season, the Finest White Carnation ever
sent out. It has given great satisfaction. When left on
the plants until fully developed, the flowers are mucl\
larger than MRS. THOS. W. LAWSON. Nothing exceb it
for freedom of bloom, fine keeping qualities, and general
all-round value* We believe that this will occupy among
White Carnations the same place that MRS. THOS. W.
LAWSON does among pinks. Remember that we are
headquarters for it. Splendid stock ready for immediate
delivery. Per hundred, $7.(0 ; per thousaod, $60.00.

DAHEIM — A fine crimson introduced by us last year, with
the style and habit of MRS. THOS. W. LAWSOK; might be
called a CRIMSON LAWSON; as it has all the char-
acteristics of that variety as far as freedom of flowering,
habit of growth, etc, are concerned. It has grand, stiff
stems, calyx never bursts, and it is a free and abundant
bloomer, developing very quickly. We believe this to
be the best all-round Crimson Carnation. Per hundred,
$6.00; per thousand, $50.00.

LADY BOUNTIFUL— A magnificent white of last sea-
son's introduction. Per hundred, $6.00; per thousand, $50.

ENCHANTRESS — This magnificent Carnation is un-
equaled for size, beautiful color light, silvery pink and
freedom of bloom. It brings the very highest market
prices, and is in great demand. Per hundred, $ 1.00 ; per
thousand, $35.00.

MRS. M. A. PATTEN— This grand variegated Carna-
tion has given splendid satisfaction. Per hundred, $6.00;
per thousand, $50.00.

MRS. THOS. W. LAWSON— Tlie Standard Dark
Pink— Per hundred, $3.00; per thousand, $25.00.

PROSPERITY— A magnificent fancy sort, entirely dis-
tinct from others. A sterling variety. Per hundred,
$3.00; Per thousand, $25.00.

We are also pleased to announce that we have been appointed distributing agent for the sale of VICTORY, and that all
orders for this variety should be sent direct to us. We are now prepared to book orders for this variety for deUvery, Spring,
1906. We have watched this Carnation for some time, and beUeve that it is the best scarlet ever offered, with good stems, flowers
of the largest size; a magnificent keeper and shipper, and an exceedingly free and early bloomer. While the flowers of this variety
are of the largest size, and it wiU rank in the fancy class, its freedom of bloom and general good quaUties will make it a bread-
and-butter scarlet. There is a great demand for a good scarlet at the holiday time, and the flowers of this variety brought 25 cents
each last Christmas, which is an indication of its popularity.

A. B. Davis & Son, PurcellvIHe, Va.

Okntlkm in:- Please make our order for rooted cuttings of BBD
8POBT 2ui0 instead of 1000.

The blooms you sent in today were certainly very fine. We
bave been watcbing tbis promising new red for tbree years and tbe
more we see of it and tbe longer we sell it over tbe counter the
better we like it.

We do not make a practice of going in very strong on tbe new va-
rieties the flrf't year they are sent out, but after seeing BSD BPOBT
prowing and blooming at yr ur place last Tuesday, we are convinced
it is a gieat Christmas carnation, and an all around money maker,
and we wish to increase our order as stated above.

Yours very truly. A. QUDE & BRO.

Gentlsmin: -Tour letter and SBD SPOBT of Maceo came
to band Friday. We waited to see bow carnations would keep
before writing you.

Tbe color and keeping qualities are tbe best and if it blooms
as freely as Maceo it is a good one. Very respectfully yours.

DxAB SiBS:— Tours 12tb at hand and I will be glad to include
yourBBD SPOaTof Maceo in our list and believe it will meet
witb good sale. Tou may book my order for 2600 of them to start
wltb. I tbink you bave a good thing and congratulate yon.

Very truly. WM. 8WAYNE,

WHAT WE HAVE TO SXY ABOUT RED SPORT:

Tbis new "Bread and Butter" commercial brilliant Red Carnation, now in its fourth year, has the bardy constitution of Gen. Maceo,
witb a stronger heavier growth, longer and stiffer stem ann larger flower. Growing under the same conditions and in tbe same bouse with
Flamingo and E>-telle, it has produced four times as many flowers as tbe former and twice as many as tbe latter. Tbe color is as good as
Estelle and tbe bloom briugs as much as does Estelle at its best. Every flower is of a imiform, brilliant red, perfectly double, with an ideal
calyx: in fact we bave never seen a split one.

BED SPOBT is perfectly healthy, an easy variety to grow, an early and continuous bloomer, throwing its heaviest cuts around the
Cbrifetoias Holidays and during the winter months, when red is in demand. BED 8FOBT will keep longer and travel farther than any other
red carnation and will prove a bonanza to growers doing a shipping business. If tbe scarcity of reds in the market that now exists continues,
BBO SPOBT will pay better to tbe square foot of bench room than any otber variety of any color to date.

Every florist who has seen RED SPORT growing has placed an order for rooted cuttings, which tells the tale.

All our rroted cuttings are sold until January 25. Orders filled in strict rotation from above date on. Prices, 12 for $).50;
25 for $2^ 50 for $4 Oj postpaid. $6.00 per iOO; $50.00 per 1000 by expren. We guarantee cuttings to be well rooted and
to arrive in good cotdition.

THE CHICAGO CONVENTION

The American Carnation Society Holds a Successful Meetins^ and

a Splendid Exhibition.

President, Peter Fisher, Ellis, Mass.

Vice-President, A. H. Dunlop, Toronto, Ont.

Secretary, Albert M. Herr, Lancaster, Pa.

Treasurer, Fred. Dorner, Jr., Lafayette, Ind.

PUCE OF MEETING FOR 1906, BOSTON, MASS.

What can we do to propitiate the God
of Storms? Since time immemorial the
weather man has been safe in forecasting
the choicest samples of cold and snow
for that spot of all others in our whole
great country known to be favored by
the American Carnation Society for its
annual meeting. This year was no ex-
ception to the rule, but thanks to favor-
ing train schedules no exhibitor was so
late as to be debarred from staging his
stock save Richard Witterstaetter, whose
train was behind a wreck due to the
storm and who arrived at 1:15, six hours
late, with one of the grandest lots of
blooms ever brought to an exhibition.

Most of the exhibits came in on the
early morning trains, a couple of hours
late, but by 10 o 'clock the exhibition hall
in the Auditorium was a scene of such
activity as is only witnessed when a
great exhibition is to be staged under
pressure of time. By 1 o'clock all was
in readiness and the hall cleared for the
judges, who were W. N. Eudd, Wm. Nich-
olson and Eugene Dailledouze, the latter
taking the place of Wm. Scott, who was
prevented by illness from being present.

The great banquet hall is an ideal spot
for such an exhibition as that of this
week and the display was worthy of the
great industry which it represents. In
quantity of stock exhibited it did not
more than equal the record set last year
at Detroit, but for quality it has never
been approached. Indeed, in point of
quantity nothing was left to be desired,
for the room was filled. Competition
was keener than ever before. In the
class for 100 white there were eleven en-
tries, but only four varieties were repre-
sented, and the quality of each exhibit
was of the very best. It was noteworthy
that Lady Bountiful and Wolcott de-
feated White Lawson. In the class for
100 pink there were eight exhibits, six
of which were Mrs. Lawson, which won
both premiums. Possibly more interest
centered in the reds than in any other
of the general classes. Five varieties
were shown, first premium falling to Car-
dinal and second to Bobert Craig. There
were also five entries for the Lawson
medals and five better vases were never
shown in any exhibition. The gold medal
fell, as last year, to Fiancee, the silver
medal to Robert Craig and the bronze
medal to My Maryland, the splendid
white brought from so great a distance
by H. Weber & Sons. The Chicago Carna-
tion Co. was the largest exhibitor and
largest prize winner.

A feature of the exhibition was the
preponderance of what may be termed

new sorts. Not a great many varieties
which have been on the market more than
a year or two were shown, and there were
dozens of seedlings never before exhibiteo
to the American Carnation Society. The at-
tendance was up to the best previous
records and the hall was comfortably
filled by critical growers, the general pub-
lic not being admitted.

The first business session was called to
order at 8:30 Wednesday evening, by
President Rudd, of the Chicago Florists'

liberties extended by the city's repre-
sentative.

Mr. Budd then introduced President
James Hartshome, who after acknowl-
edging his reception, read his address,
which was as follows:

President's Address.

What little I wish to say to you must
be fragmentary, owing to my desire to
avoid boring you with a tiresome address.
We meet today in our fourteenth annual
convention. My predecessor has said,
did he believe in signs and omens, he
would be fearful of the success of his,
the thirteenth annual meeting. Now, I
would say, were I a believer in them, I
would be fearful of what was going to
happen to me, as I have the honor of
being your thirteenth president, but if I
may judge from the many old-time faces
before me and such a goodly sprinkling
of enthusiastic new ones, the welfare of
our society and the success of this meet-
ing is not going to suffer on that ac-
count. Some of you have come a thou-
sand miles or more to pay homage to,
dare I say, the queen? Well, to many of
us the carnation is queen of flowers.

This society has done a great work
since its organization in promoting these
exhibitions, offering prizes and certifi-
cates for new as well as old carnations,
thus making our hybridists work harder
than ever to keep pace and meet the
ideals of our judges. Without this so-

Club, who introduced Howard S. Taylor,
City Prosecutor, and the Mayor's per-
sonal representative. He said that in
Chicago forty-three languages are spoken,
and he was delegated, and desired to be
understood as welcoming the society in
every one of them. Mr. Taylor spoke
most entertainingly for fifteen minutes.
E.Xjr. Hill was introduced to respond to
the address of welcome and was given a
greeting which bespoke his wide popu-
larity in the trade. He spoke briefly and
pledged good conduct in return for the

ciety, I am afraid we would still be plod-
ding along in a marking-time fashion, as
we were fifteen to twenty years ago. It
is just fourteen years ago since the dis-
semination of the once great carnation,
Daybreak, which really marked a new
era in camationdom. While several good
varieties made a bid for our favor in the
following year, it was nine years before
Mr. Fisher gave us Mrs. Lawson, the
next real sensation. After that came

iveness. Then came Enchantress and
now Lady Bountiful and Fiancee. There-
fore it looks to me from now on it is,
reasonable to expect a new wonder about
every year.

'\^^lile we cannot all raise a wonder,
each individual member of this society
can take some share of the credit for
what has been done in advancing the car-
nation in general, for you support the
society and the society enthuses and
stimulates the hybridizer to keep peg-
ging away.

That gentleman is now having some
valuable help from the sportive tenden-
cies of what were at one time his seed-
lings, but now good standard varieties.
The Mrs. Lawson, for instance, has giv-
en us the White Lawson. There is no
question but what- this variety, now
thoroughly fixed, will become a valuable
standard. It originated in two or three
different establishments,, and I believe
each one of them is conceded to be iden-
tical with the other. It was a good
thing for the trade when the owners of
these several sports got together and
agreed on one name for all of them.

There are several other sports which I
believe identical in every respect with
each other, now being registered with the
society under different names. This
should be stopped, as it only causes con-
fusion to the trade in general.

A matter that has been discussed pro
and con in our past conventions is one
relative to judging seedlings at various
seasons and another one regarding the
best month in which to hold our annual
exhibition. Both of these are worthy of
our consideration. I wish to offer a few
suggestions along these lines.

I would like to have the society go on

could be induced to take the matter up.
If there were an exhibition it would
enable us to see the new carnations in
the fall as well as at our own grand
show later in the season, without any ex-
tra expense to the American Carnation
Society. "We could offer our certificates
there, which might be termed fall
certificates, and also collect an entry fee
the same as usual. This in a measure
would cover the part relative to judging
seedlings at different seasons and be a
great benefit to both introducer and buy-
er of a new variety as ^ell as to the
trade in general. And then we need not
be so particular as to the date for our
own exhibition.

Here is another suggestion. If a cer-
tain grower has a new carnation for dis-
tribution to the trade, give him the
chance of receiving our endorsement, or
otherwise, of its commercial value, by
applying to our president for a commit-
tee of judges or practical growers to
visit his establishment and inspect the
variety growing, say two or three times
during the season. The committee could
consist of three good men living in his,
the grower 's, vicinity. I believe this plan
is followed by the New York Florists'
Club. It woiUd be just as easy to get
the committees for this purpose as it is
for the American Chrysanthemum Society
to secure its several committees to meet
every Saturday for two or three months.

One feature of the carnation plant we
can congratulate ourselves upon more
than any other, I believe, is the healthi-
ness of the acknowledged present-day
standard varieties. We do not hear so
much about stem-rot. bacteria, rust, etc.,
as we did four or five years ago. The
reason for this I lay to the fact that thef

record as favoring an annual ail-Ameri-
can flower show to be held in November
and in a different city each year. I be-
lieve the time is ripe for it. Perhaps
the Society of American Florists or the
World's Fair Flower Show Association

hybridist has refrained from using for
crossing purposes varieties that are sub-
ject to those diseases and, again, to our
semi-indoor mode of culture, early plant-
ing, which I recommended in my essay
at the Buffalo meeting.

The nrices ' obtained for carnation
blooms the past few years have hardly
kept pace with tbe improvement and the
quality of them. When we held our con-
vention in this city seven years ago,
fancy ■ carnations were bringing 8 cents
at the holidays and obcasiolially higher
prices were heard of. The best varieties
at that time we-e Jubilee, Mayor Pin-
gree, Mrs. McBirney and Mrs. Geo. M.
Bradt. The same prices were realized
this season for improved varieties that
were better grown, but the years between
rarely saw. the top figures,, and yet the
cost of production is much higher. The
reason -for this ^tate of affairs is no
doubt due to over-production, but when
you take into consideration that there are
a million more plants grown in this vicin-
ity alone, producing about fourteen mil-
lion a year more blooms for this, the Chi-
cago market, we can hardly be surprised
at the non-advancement of the price-
Still, I doubt if we have much reason to
complain, for during that period we have
had no panic in the business world and
no serious slump in flowerdom and the
prospects for the future, I think, are en-
couraging. Personally I think we are on
the eve of an unusually prosperous era
and I trust the carnationists will reap
their share of the benefits.

Since we last met in Chicago, we 'have
been to Phiteflelphia, Buffalo and Balti-
more, each bne of these cities approxim-
ately a thousand miles from the western
carnation belt, making it very difficult
for growers in that vicinity to make cred-
itable showings. In the years following
the convention mentioned we went to In-
dianapolis, Brooklyn, Detroit and now
Chicago. This is as it should be. Now
let us go east again, the midddle east, or
even enter new fields, as I believe great
benefits are derived by our socie^ in
spreading the knowledge of our work and
showing the products of our skill in any
city within a reasonable shipping dis-
tance of a carnation center.

The growth of the carnation's popular-
ity among all classes of people should be
very gratifying to us, and still I believe
it to be only in its infancy. One thing
more than all others that wilj, I am sure,
increase this popularity in the future, is
that grand body, the Carnation League
of America, with three million members,
each wearing a carnation on each January
29 as a tribute to the memory of our be-
loved I>resident McKinley.

We shall soon hear the report of the
judges of the present exhibition. Some
of us will be disappointed ; others will ex-
perience those thrills of joy which victory
brings. If you are a new exhibitor and
are beaten, do not be discouraged. Take
your defeat with good grace, find out if
possible the weak points of your exhibit
and return home with a determination to
overcome them next year.

Before concluding, I beg of you, one
and all, to attend the sessions and stay
with them until each one is over, help us
to get through with what business we
have and make this convention what it
ought to be, the greatest yet. After the
sessions are over there will be plenty of
time to explode your otherwise pent-up
enthusiasm. That your Chicago friends
will be with you and stay with you to th^
end is a foregone conclusion. Now to
business.

At the conclusion of the pfesident's
address Secretary Herr read the report
of the judges, as follows:

The Secretary's Report.

Secretary Albert M. Herr presented
his annual report as follows:

Your secretary reports having issued
the regular printed matter of this so-
ciety during the past year and mailing
the same to all the members of the so-
ciety. The attempt was made of issuing
the full premium list early in the fall and
mailing the same at two different times,
once in October and again in January.
The idea was to give the advertisers in
this list the advantage of a double circu-
lation. The attempt can hardly be called
a success, as it was almost impossible to
get advertising and specials together in
September; they were received so slowly
that it came to be a rush job and an error
or two in the copy was the result. These
were corrected in the issue sent out in
January and a few additions made to the
list in the form of a supplement.

We are as yet without a permanent
stenographer (that is the same stenog-
rapher for every meeting) and until we
get one our reports are bound to be in-
complete in some respects. We were
fortunate in securing at the last meeting
and for this one stenographers who have
had some experience in horticultural mat-
ters, but to give us a complete report,
such as this society should have, requires
a stenographer who will be with us year
after year, get acquainted with us, know
our names, our voices and the meaning of
all the terms we use.

There were during the year the usual
number of complaints as to mail matter
not reaching the members, in several in-
stances four pieces having been sent the
same party. In justice to myself I want
to say that all regular matter, such as
circulars, premium lists, etc., are sent out
addressed by a machine that makes it a
mechanical impossibility to miss any one.

While we are not by any means in
financial straits, yet there are so many
things the gpciety could do with ample
funds back of it that we shonldj use every
endeavor to increase our permanent fund
and our membership as well. For the^
latter I would suggest a display adver-
tisement gotten up with a cut of the front
cover of our annual report and inserted
in the trade papers the week the report
is sent out at a cost not to exceed $5 for
each paper used, and one insertion only.
With the papers presented for this meet-
ing our report ought to be a good one
and a strong, pictured, good-sized adver-
tisement ought to pay well in the in-
crease of our membership.

Any member who has either criticism
or new ideas for the advancement of this
society can have the same brought before
the board of directors promptly by send-
ing them in writing to the secretary either
at this meeting or at any time during the
year. There is no stop to the develop-
ment of the carnation, there can 'be none
to this its patron society, but we need
the assistance of every member as well
as the board of directors and other offi-
cers.

For the committee on McKinley me-
morial fund H. M. Altick reported slow
progress until the Chicago Florists' Club
took the matter up two weeks ago. Up-
wards of fifty of its members have agreed
to give to the fund from five to twenty-
five per cent of their carnation sales on
January 28 or 29. C. W. Ward, E. G.
Gillett, E. H. Cushman, J. A. Valentine,
J. 0. Vaughan and others endorsed the
movement, and on motion of W. N. Sudd
the society voted to place an offering of
carnations on McKinley 's tomb on Jan-
uary 29.

The nomenclature committee reported
the registration of fifteen varieties with
the society in the past year.

Prof. H. Hasselbring was introduced
to read his paper on "Carnation Dis-
eases," which appears elsewhere in this
issue. It provoked a warm discussion
and one of the most interesting ever held
before the society. W. N. Rudd said he
took issue with the speaker on the ques-
tion of varieties running out and cited
Lawson. C. W. "Ward said he had re-
duced disease to a minimum by rational
culture. He uses healthy cuttings,
sterilizes sand and soil, does not. plant
in the field, grows cool and feeds lightly.
Eugene Dailledouze said he had seen the
tops taken from young stock and
rooted die of stem-rot while the original
plants thrived. Peter Fisher said much
stem-rot is due to a check, to leaving the
cuttings too long in the sand, letting
them get too dry, etc. Wm. Weber said
to avoid stem-rot by ventilation and the
avoidance of extremes of moisture. J. A.
Valentine, H. A. Bunyaru, A. F. J. Baur
and others participated in the discus-
sion.

It took three-quarters of an hour of
hard work to decide between Boston and
Toronto for next year's convention. It
took all of President Hartshome's par-
liamentary skill to get the matter finally
settled according to the constitution. Bos-
ton won, but had J. H. Dunlop not with-
drawn Toronto's invitation for the year
just as he did, she would have won.

Officers were nominated as follows:
President, Peter Fisher, Ellis, Mass.;
vice-president, J. H. Dunlop, Toronto;
secretary, Albert M. Herr; treasurer,
Fred Domer, Jr.; director, Wm. Weber;
judge, Wm. Nicholson.

Thursdays Morning Sersion.

On convening Thursday morning the

first act was the appointment of G. A.
Rackham, M. A. Patten and C. W.
Johnson as a committee on final resolu-
tions.

C. W. Ward, as chairman for the com-
mittee on (President's address, recom-
mended that the president's suggestions
as to the registration of sports be re-
ferred to the nomenclature committee,
and that instead of a great all-American
flower show, a committee of three be ap-
pointed to arrange for the society's co-
operation in exhibits of seedlings at
several of the large autumn shows. Both
recommendations were adopted, the lat-
ter subject being pretty well threshed
out.

C. L. Washburn was then introduced
to describe the handling of carnation
blooms for long and short distance ship-
ments. His paper will be found in an-
other column. E. G. Gillett, in discuss-
ing the paper, offered some suggestions
to growers on shipping stock to their
wholesaler.

Thursday's Afternoon Session.

Fred H. Lemon was introduced at the
afternoon session to read his paper on
exhibition carnations which appears in
full in another column. In the discus-
sion Eugene Dailledouze said he handles
the blooms as little as possible; if the
ends of the stems are swabbed in soaked
tissue paper they wUl not need re-cut-
ting; the staging of exhibition blooms,
however, begins with propagating the
plant, E. Witterstaetter said a few
drops of ammonia in the water aids in
developing the blooms.

President Hartshorne announced C. W.
Ward, Fred Lemon and R. Witterstaetter
as the .committee to recommend to the
directors a plan for showing seedlings
at the fall exhibitions.

This year's date of meeting was com-
mended. Officers were elected as nom-
inated and each made a brief pledge of
earnest effort. On motion of J. A. Val-
entine the secretary was instructed to
express to Wm. Scott, of Buffalo, the
sympathy of the society and the hope
for speedy recovery from his illness.
Mr. Valentine also proposed a resolu-
tion expressive of the society's sense of
loss in the death of E. N, Peirce, of
Waltham. A resolution was adopted
commending the work for floriculture
done at the Indiana Experiment Station

at Purdue. The convention then ad-
journed.

Thursday Evening.

The Chicago Florists' Club was the
host at a banquet at the Auditorium,
Thursday evening. At the same time the
lady visitors were entertained at supper
and the theater.

CARNATION DISEASES.

BV PROF. H. nASSELBBING^ OF CHICAGO.

[A paper read before the American Carna-
tion Society at the Chicago meeting, January
25.]

With the extended cultivation and
amelioration of the carnation, new dis-
eases and disorders have made their ap-
pearance. Are these troubles the result
of cultivation! Has the continued high
culture predisposed the plants to certain
forms of disease? What are the diseases
that threaten the carnation today and
how can they be prevented?

These are questions of ever increasing
importance to the florist. Their impor-
tance will increase with every extension
of carnation culture. In no other branch
of horticulture is the investment and risk
so great as in floriculture ; no o|;her ,
branch of agriculture and all the related
pursuits, expends so large a proportion
of ■ the returns for labor. A faikite
means a corresponding loss. Every fac-
tor that is likely to cause failure should
be thoroughly understood.

The who'e subject has received far
from sufficient attention. Our experi-
ment stations, while they have vastly
furthered the interests of other branches
of agriculture and horticulture, have left
the whole field of florists' problems al-
most untouched. In this state (Illinois),
containing the largest greenhouse in-
dustry in the world, our experiment sta-
tion cannot legally 'take up any ques-
tion relating to the culture of plants
under glass. The florist must stand on
his own feet.

In the absence of enfiScient experi-
mental investigation it will be possible
to touch only the main features of the
question of diseases and point out the
possible future of the carnation in rela-
tion to them.

In the main the troubles with which
the florist has to deal may be classed
under three categories, insect enemies,
physiological disorders, and fungous dis-
eases. Fortunately, the carnation has but
few insect enemies and those are so well

understood that I mil not take up the
time to dpeak of them. The others are
not 80 well understood.

Physiological Diseases.

Physiological diseases result from the
disturbances of the functions of a plant
from any cause whatever. Less tha,li
three-quarters of a century ago it was
the common view that all cultivated
plants must be regarded as diseased be-
cause they were growing under unnatural
conditions. Therefore, it was reasoned,
their functions must be disturbed. We
no longer follow this mode of thinking.
There is no reason to believe that plants
are weakened or impaired in vitality by
continued cultivation. It is true that we
cannot define what we mean by "vital-
ity" in a plant, but if its vitality was
impaired by continuous cultivation we
should finally expect it to die. This has
not been our experience. Wheat has been
in cultivation for thousands of years and
the plants are more vigorous and give
greater yields today than one thousand
years ago. You will perhaps mention the
"running out" of varieties. I do not
think varieties have run out. They have
been superseded by better ones and by
comparison the older variety has appeared
to run out. We have no record but our
judgment to show that any variety has
run out. It is true, certainly, that all
plants vary under cultivation, and the
same seed pod may give some offsprings
of a weak and some of a vigorous habit,
but this is incident to cultivation and not
caused thereby. The cause lies in the
unknown factors governing the variation
of plants.

As physiological troubles we mention
the "sleeping" of flowers and bursting
of the calyx. The cause of those trou-
bles rests to a great extent in the nature
of the variety, but to some extent also
in outer conditions. The very fact that
the calyx of certain varieties bursts with
some growers, but not with others, shows
that this trouble is greatly influenced by
outer conditions and can be solved by
experimentation. As yet, as I have said,
these subjects have never been scien-
tifically investigated. It is to be hoped
that some time these questions will re-
ceive their proper share of attention by
our experiment stations.

Fungous Diseases.*?! | — »;1V<

In considering fungous diseases we

must keep in mind distinctly one thing:
These diseases are caused by distinct
parasitic organisms. A fungus is an in-
dividual organism just as much as the
carnation plant is. It has a vegetative
period and finally producesjspores, which
again reproduce the same fungus. Its
whole development can be followed with
the same certainty with which the de-
velopment of any plant can be followed
from seed to maturity. Parasitic fungi
live in the tissues of other plants, spread-
ing in the same manner as roots in the
soil. In this way fungi produce diseases
by destroying the tissues of the plants
upon which they feed.

Diseases of this nature are often at-
tributed to some sort of unfavorable con-
ditions, such as lack of ventilation, too
much water, deep planting and the like.
This is an error. While certain condi-
tions favor the growth of fungi, and thus
cause disease to appear more abundantly,
it is nevertheless true that such diseases
would not appear if the fungi were ab-
sent. The fungi are in every instance
the prime cause of disease, not the condi-
tions.

There are at the present time but two
fungous diseases of the carnation which
we need to discuss, the rust and stem-rot.
The rust was a prevalent disease about
ten years ago. At that time it was feared
as the worst enemy of the carnation, as
its frequent discussion in the horticultural
literature of that time indicates. It still
appears spasmodically here and there on
some varieties, but it is no longer the
dreaded enemy of the carnation. We
will come back to the causes of this
again.

The Problem of Stem-Rot.

The stem-rot is a far more serious dis-
ease and one which will be difficult to
control. It is caused by a fungus of the
genus fusarium. While the name of the
fungus may not carry with it any special
significance, we shall see presently that
this is one of a great group of fungi
which have received considerable atten-
tion of late, and that the study of this
group has been the chief means of de-
veloping a new method for controlling
diseases. These fungi are the causes of
the now well known "wilt diseases" of
many plants. The wilt diseases of the
cotton, cowpea, watermelon, flax and
aster are caused by species of fusarium.
These diseases have been carefully in-

vestigated and from the knowledge gained
from them we can fill out, tentatively at
least, such points as are stiU unknown
m the life of the carnation fusarium.

Stem-rot is not primarily a rotting of
the stem, but a wilt disease first mani-
festing itself by a wilting of the leaves
of some shoots. Very often only th»
leaves on one side of a shoot wilt and in
nearly all cases only a part of the plant
is affected. This is more especially true
during the early stages of the disease. It
will frequently be found that the
branches on one side of the plant are
affected and sometimes only those arising "^
low down on the main stem. The disease
always progresses upward. The leaves on
the affected branches soon die and turn
to a pale color without dropping. The
upper leaves on these branches may be
wilted but still grow, until the whole
branch finally dies. The calyx lobes or
flower stems usually turn yellow at the
tips before the upper leaves begin to die.

The root systems of these plants ap-
pear healthy externally with the excep-
tion of one or two roots. These are com-
pletely decayed so that only a remnant of
them is left. Yet if the diseased plants
are carefully examined after the roots
have been washed these decayed roots
can always be found. Here is evidence
that the fungus has entered the plant
from the soil through the roots.

The course of the fungus in the plant
and the reason for the peculiar damage
it causes can be easily seen by cutting
microscopical sections at different parts
in the diseased stem and branches. The
fungus grows from the infected roots
into the water-conducting channels of the
stem and branches. When the disease is
severe these can be seen to be literally
plugged up with a mass of the mycelium
of the fungus. It is then impossible for
the plant to obtain sufScient water and
wilting and death are the results. Some-
times the fungus invades only the ducts
on one side of the stem and then the
leaves and branches on this side wilt.
Later when the plant is dying the other
tissues are also invaded, first the pith and
then the cortex. The fungus produces
innumerable spores on the dead stems and
on the lower portions of the leaves.

more practical importance are: How
does this disease get into the carnation
beds, and how can it be prevented?

The fusariums are a group of soil
fungi. They are found nearly every-
where on decaying organic matter in the
soU. I have been unable to collect evi-
dence showing that the stem-rot reap-
pears in the same soil year after year,
thi^ being due to the fact that carnation
growers change their soil annually. We
know, however, that the plants are at-
tacked from the soil and this, in connec-
tion with the fact that the fusariums are
found almost everywhere and can grow
freely on dead matter in the soil, leaves
scarcely any room for doubt that the soil
is the source of infection. It has been
definitely shown that the wilt fungus of
the cotton, watermelon, cowpea and flax
remain indefinitely in soils once infected.
In fact, it has been found impossible to
eradicate them. The same is probably
true for the carnation wilt or stem-rot.

The most important question is, how to
prevent the disease! Since it remains in
the soil it is beyond the reach of the
usual fungicides. It attacks the plants
beneath the soil so that direct preventive
measures are practically excluded. "What
hope have we then of ever controlling the
disease! I think the solution of the
question will come from a study of varie-
ties. If we look over the different va-
rieties now generally cultivated we find
that some are badly affected, others less,
and some seem not to suffer from the dis-
ease at all. It is somewhat difficult to
collect exact data on this, but it seems to
be everywhere conceded that such varieties
as Crane, Morning Glory and Flora Hill
are most subject to the disease, many
growers having thrown these varieties out
entirely. Flamingo, Apollo and White
Cloud seem to suffer as much as those just
mentioned. On the other hand, many va-
rieties seem to be free from the disease.
These are especially the strong growing
varieties, such as Harlowarden, Enchan-
tress, those of the Lawson type and Lady
Bountiful. I have seen America planted
where Crane died of stem-rot, yet the
former variety was not affected. Some
varieties seem to outgrow the disease,
even when affected. This seems to be
true of Bradt and Lord. These observa-
tions are as yet of limited extent, but
they point to one conclusion: Some va-
rieties of carnations are immune from
stem-rot.

The problem for the future will be
the production and selection of immune

varieties. It should be the aim of the
originator to produce resistant varieties
and only such varieties should be put
upon the market. This plan is not im-
possible, for it has been successfully fol-
lowed in the case of cotton. Through
the work of the Department of Agricul-
ture several varieties of cotton have been
produced which are resistant to the wilt.
Those can be planted in infected fields,
where other varieties have been extermi-
nated, without being attacked by the dis-
ease. I am convinced that we have a sim-
ilar example in the carnation rust. Al-
most imperceptibly the discussion of this
disease has dropped from horticultural
literature. Whyf If we examine the
older catalogues we find many varieties
advertised as * ' rust proof. ' ' These may
or may not have proved as represented,
but the fact shows the tendency of the
time to produce rust proof carnations.
Only the varieties that actually proved
rust proof finally were extensively culti-
vated and today the rust has practically
disappeared from our greenhouses. I have
no doubt that we will have a similar ex-
perience with the carnation stem-rot. We
have already indication of the lines to
follow and experience has shown that
they can be followed successfully.

EXHIBITION CARNATIONS.

BY FBED. H. LEMON, BICHMOND IND.

[A. paper read before the American Carna-
tion Society at the Chicago meeting, Jan-
uary 28.]

In approaching the subject of "Exhi-
bition Carnations," the first inclination
is to seek a definition for the term.
What are exhibition carnations and who
are the growers of exhibition carnations?

When we speak of exhibition chrysan-
themums there immediately arises be-
fore us a vision of immense, reflexing or
incurving Japanese blooms of various
shades of color, some light, some dark,
some gaudy, some dull, all beautiful,
but scarcely any practicable for the pure-
ly commercial grower. We find these in
the hands of a special class of growers.
First, the large growers, importers and
introducers of new chrysanthemums,
whose aim in exhibiting the marvelous
creations of the hybridizer is to arouse
the interest of prospective buyers of
young plants. Second, the private garde-
ner, that true horticultural enthusiast,
whose time and skill are devoted to per-
fecting the magnificent blooms, mainly to
satisfy a love of the beautiful in na-
ture.

First, Grow Good Flowers.

When we turn to the carnation, how-
ever, and examine the exhibition and the
exhibitor, we find a magnificently large
collection of the very same varieties
which are daily seen by thousands in
the wholesale houses of the country,
fiowers a little better than the best in
the market, perhaps, because more care-
fully handled, and exhibited by the very
men whose vast ranges supply "the mar-
kets. Thus is the carnation distinctively
the business man's flower and an exhi-
bition of carnations a most practical
demonstration of what can be accom-
plished by care and attention in growing
flowers for the market.

A consideration, therefore, of the sub-
ject now before us must of necessity
encroach to a certain extent upon the
daily task of cutting, packing, and ship-
ping carnations, because the very meth-
ods which result in putting flowers into
the market in the best possible condition
must form a foundation for our plans
and methods of putting our blooms into
the exhibition hall in perfect condition.

Even G)lor EssentiaL

Granted, then, that we have flowers
which we think are good enough to ex-
hibit, and we might say right here that
they must be rather good in this day
and age. the first question is the selec-
tion of blooms and time and method of
cutting. Just here a study of the scale
of points for judging will be of great
benefit. This shows us that color must
be the first consideration, with stem
and size counted equallv for second place.

Great care should be used to obtain
a very evenly-colored lot of blooms, even
at the expense of other points. With
this end in view it is best, when possible,
to cut all the flowers for one class about
the same time for thc-e will surely be
variations in color if some of the blooms
have been kept in water sixty hours and
some only six hours. ,

Ctsttins: the Blooms.

Use a sharp knife to cut the blooms
and take every inch of stem you can get
without going into the hard wood. The
proper condition of a bloom to be cut
for exhibition depends largely upon the
varietv but may be generally stated as
just before that bloom reaches a state
of perfection.

Here is where the judgment of the
operator is put to the test; here the

point where many prizes are lost. Such
a variety as Enchantress, for instance,
is in perfection when the flower is young
and failure greets the man who allows
his Enchantress to develop too fully be-
fore cutting, while that erstwhile grand
variety, Flora Hill, only reaches a state
of perfection for exhibition after having
stood upon the plants for many days
and being allowed to develop very fully
before cutting. Between these two ex-
tremes are many gradations and, as be-
fore stated, it calls upon the best judg-
ment and broadest experienca^ at com-
mand.

In cutting for exhibition cut each
class complete and keep that class to it-
self from tais time until it is staged,
only changing blooms to strengthen the
class you are most desirous of winning.

Storing and Handling.

Blooms- should not lie out of water
long after cutting and it is a good
plan to make a fresh cut on the stems
after you reach the storing room and be-
fore putting them into water.

Much has been written on the subject
of a storing room for blooms, but I be-
lieve that any room or cellar which
meets the following requirements will
be satisfactory: The air must be kept
pure and sweet and moderately dry,
though a little continuously evaporating
moisture is not injurious. It must not
be totally dark. The temperature must
be kept a few degrees lower than the
night temperature of your greenhouse.
In such a place the flowers should st&sd
at least six hours and may stand several
days before packing. "When kept more
than twentv-four hours the water should

ter of great importance, as varieties of
high color are especially easily bruised
immediately after cutting and if blooms
are laid down on a rough board or "Ce-
ment bench, or carelessly knocked togeth-
er while carrying from the house to the
cooling room, they will surely show the
effects later, and on the observance of
these minor points often hangs success.

All flowers which have an inclination
to droop or hang their heads in the
slightest degree should be supported in
a rigidly upright position. There are
several ncetbods of accomplishing this
end. A wire ring like an ordinary car-
nation support may be attached to the
jar in such a manner that it will act as
a support for the blooms, and some
people go to the trouble of tying a wire
to each stem.

Whatever method is used, they must be
supported from the very time they are
cut, for the first two or three hours in
water is the time when most of the stif-
fening and hardening takes place and
if the stems harden in a bent or curved
position, subsequent supporting -will be
useless.

Packing for Shipment.

Like all the other essential steps in
the task of placing blooms in the exhi-
bition hall, packing the blooms for ship-
ment is an operation of the utmost im-
portance, the aim being to get the blooms
through in the most perfect condition,
and any extra attention which can be
given to this work is certainly time well
spent. The most important point is to
prevent the blooms from becoming
crushed of mashed out of shape. This
should be very carefully avoided, for if

M. A. Patten's Variegated, Mikado.

be freshened and the stems re-cut every
morning.

In handling blooms at all stages, es-
pecially with varieties of intense color,
such as Adonis, great care should be ex-
ercised to avoid bruising. This is a mat-

the broad bottom or ray petals become
bent or pressed down, it is almost cer-
tain that they will not regain their
proper form when set up for exhibition.
One of the simplest methods of accom-
plishing this end, and one that is fairly

efficacious, is to place the blooms upon
pillows, or small rolls of paper as long
as the width of the box and about on©
and one-half inches thick.

A more thorough method is to cut cir-
cular pasteboard discs, the size of the
blooms, with a hole in the center large
enough to slip over the stem and calyx
so that the disc will press against the
back of the flower, holding the ray pet-
als in a perfectly horizontal position.
These must be used in connection with
the pillows, and they keep the blooms, in
perfect shape; indeed, in many cases im-
proving the form of irregular blooms.

As to packing the blooms, there are as
many different methods as there are ex-
hibitors. If the shipment is a long one
we have found it a (rood plan to lay the
ends of the stems upon wet tissue paper
and place a layer of wet tissue over
every layer of stems, so that the ends
of the stems, freshly re-cut, are all sur-
rounded by moisture. The flowers should
be packed with their heads all one way.
and a cleat pressed firmly down near
the lower end of the stems every fifth or
sixth row.

For our midwinter shows, verv heavy
lining of boxes is necessary, so some
expedient must be adopted to prevent
the heavy layers of paper, which are
turned over the top. from resting on
the blooms, as this will certainly press
them out of shape.

If there are several boxes, it Is a
good plan to mark the contents by
classes on the outside of each.

An Uncertain Factor.

If the discussion of this paper brings
out a recipe for the safe and expeditious
handling of the boxes by the express
companies the writer will be devoutly
thankful. The only rule we know is:
Give your boxes to the company and
join the "Don't Worry Club."

If your exhibit is small, however, an
excellent method is to buy a cheap trunk,
make three trays to fit in it, pack your
fiowers very firmly, fill your upper vest-
pocket with cigars with bands around
them, your lower pockets with "quar-
ters," and take it through as baggage.
If you use this method you must not
expect to "experunce the comforts of
thravel, ' ' to quote Mr. Dooley, because it
is necessary to follow the example of the
elephant and stay close to your trunk.

Staging the Blooms.

Now, do not think because your blooms
are fine, have been well packed, and have
arrived in time, that the prize is won.
It is impossible to over-estimate the
value of staging the blooms properly. It
is safe to assert that where there are a
number of entries of almost equal merit,
the blooms which are most effectively
staged have five points advantage. This
is mainly the result of the first impres-
sion on the judges. Judges are human
and the most impartial man in the world
cannot possibly avoid being influenced, to
a certain extent, by his first impression,
formed unconsciously the very instant
his eyes take in the various entries.

The standard for an artistic parlor ar-
rangement will not fit the exhibition.
The aim here is to show every bloom in
such manner that it will emphasize the
salient points of the scale for judging.
The blooms should be arranged evenly,
if possible, not allowing any bloom to
touch its neighbor. Every inch of stem
possible should show above the vase and
the stems should be held very tightly

at the bottom, in order to spread the
blooms properly. It is frequently a good
plan to use a smaller vase than the one
supplied for the class, to accomplish
this end.

When you begin unpacking, make a
fresh cut on the ends of the stems as
they are taken from the box, give the
bloom a gentle downward rub with the
hand to overcome any slight sleepy ap-
pearance and lay them down on the
table, spread out so that each bloom may
be examined. When one class is un-
packed, carefully select and count out the
exact number of blooms required for the
class. Keep the scale of points in mind:
Evenness of color first; stem second, and
size a close third.

In arranging the blooms select the
longest stems first; take them up one at
a time and hold them by the extreme end
of the stem, with the flower hanging
down. Use the longest, strongest and
straightest stems for a central bunch,
placing the blooms exactly even. Work
the blooms around this central bunch in
circles, if that expression may be used,
turning the bunch in the hand and add-
ing blooms equally on all sides. Place
the outer rows of blooms so that they
will stand a little lower than the central
bunch. When complete, place the whole
bunch in a vase that will hold the stems
as tightly as they have been held by the
hand, and do not shove them too far
down.

Study Color Effect.

After the blooms are arranged, a study
of color effect in placing the vase is im-
portant. A light scarlet carnation may
be fine, and deserve to win, but if placed
next to a variety the color of Adonis it
will lose much of its eflfectiveness.

Fundamentally, of course, intrinsic
merit in the flowers themselves should
win, but deep down in the heart of the
florist, who becomes the .iudge, is the
artistic instinct which will not be de-
nied, and in this day of close competi-

tion, a recognition of this fact, if com-
bined with high grade stock, will aid
materially in reaching the goal, first
place against strong competition.

In summing up the points to be con-
sidered, one rule may be deducted: If
you want to win, nothing is too much
trouble.

CARNATIONS FOR SHIPMENT.

BY C. h. WASHBURN, CHICAGO.

[.\n address before the American Carnation
Society at the Chicago meeting, January 'M.]

The development of the shipping busi-
ness has been the cause of the remark-
able increase in the growing of carna-
tions in the Chicago market. Ten years
ago a very few of the blooms then
being grown would do to ship, while the
quantity grown was not over ten or
twenty per cent of the present output.
The deinand from outside points was
very heavy and the problem to solve
was how to ship the carnations so they
would arrive in good condition. This
brought a close study of the methods
of handling the flowers and also the con-
stant trial of new varieties. As soon as
the growers began to improve their stock
and their system of handling the flowers,
there was an immense increase in the
demand for the goods.

This vast increase has taken place
mostly in the last six or seven years,
and every year has shown a larger
amount of carnations planted and
handled than the previous year. It is
now almost impossible to get at the
exact amount of carnation blooms re-
ceived each season, but a conservative
opinion would place the number at about
oO.noo blooms per day during October
and November, and then a gradual in-
crease to 100,000 per day by midwinter,
and continued at tnis rate to the end
of the season. At least seventy-five or
eighty per cent of this amount is shipped
away from the city, and in the ability to
deliver these flowers at their destination

in first-class condition lies the successful
conduct of the business.

The manner of handling these blooms
as adopted by most of the larger grow-
ers is as follows:

Cutting the Blooms.

The cutting of the flowers must be
attended to wit..^ considerable judgment
as regards the weather. If the weather
is very cold the flowers should be al-
lowed to open a little more than usual,
as if cut too close in very cold weather
they soon go to sleep. Again, if there
is a warm wave, with lots of moisture
in the atmosphere, the flowers will be
soft and must be cut pretty close; also,
during these warm spells the flowers
should be kept in a little cooler tempera-
ture than usual to make the blooms as
firm as possible. After the flowers are
cut and tied in bunches of twenty-five
each, thev should be placed in water as
soon as possible. Tais is best accom-
plished by having pails of fresh water
standing handy to the benches, so that
as soon as a bunch is tied up it can
be placed in the water at once. This is
very necessary, as it helps prolong the
life of the flower. If the blooms are left
out of wat«r until the cutting is all fin-
ished, a number of them will have wilt-
ed a little and the sap in the stem
hardened up to such an extent that the
flower will not suck up water freely.

After the cutting and bunching ia
finished the flowers should be placed in
water in a closet or room where the tem-
perature remains steady at about 55 de-
grees, and where no draughts of air will
strike them. When packing to send to
the commission man or wholesale store,
use a few sheets of newspaper between
each layer of bunches, and keep the ends
of the stems from touching any of the
flowers. Two layers of bunches are
enough to put in any package, as too
many heads get broken when packed in
too solidly. The wholesale or commission

house should put the flowers in water as
soon as received.

Stock for Shipment.

Now, for short distances, where the
flowers can be shipped on trains that
will arrive early enough for the flowers
to be delivered that same day, the stock
sent is usually that cut the night before;
but for flowers that will have to re-
main packed in the boxes over night,
and for all long distance shipments, the
stock taken is always cut in the morning
and, after standing in water from three
to six hours, is sent in to the market and
shipped away the same day. The old
idea that a carnation keeps best if al-
lowed to stand in water twelve to twenty-
four hours before sending into market
has been disproved by actual experience,
and of the carnation blooms received by
the wholesale growers at least two-thirds
the stock is cut in the morning and
shipped in to their wholesale store in th«
early afternoon to send away the sailae
day. These flowers will arrive in better
shape and last longer every time than if
cut the day before.

After caniations have been kept eigh-
teen or twenty hours in water they seem

four to eight thicknesses of newspapers,
depending on the weather. .Then a sin-
gle thickness of soft wax paper all
around. CoQimence and put in a row of
carnations, usually about six flowers to
a row, and between each row of heads
place a strip . of wax paper about three
inches wide and as long as the box is
wide. About four rows of flowers in
each end will constitute a layer, and be-
tween each layer place a sheet of wax
paper the width of the box and long
enough to cover all the heads in that
layer. Keep on until the box is com-
pleted.

It will be found that with the extra
long stems now being grown that four
or five rows in each end of the box will
be all that can be put in a layer, as by
that time the stems will be within six
inches of the opposite row of flower
heads. The number of layers of flowers
should not go over four or six, which
will allow of from 200 to 300 carnations
in one box. In the center of the box,
where the stems meet, there should be
placed at least eight or ten thicknesses of
well saturated newsnapers. These news-
papers should be kept in a pail of water
so that they will have absorbed all the

to get kind of soggy and do not ship
well.

Packing the Boxes.

The boxes used for shipping carna-
tions are made of thin wood, half-inch
ends and quarter-inch tops, bottoms and
sides, with two half-inch cleats to fas-
ten the stems down and hold the ice se-
curely. These boxes are usually twelve
inches wide and four to eight inches
deep, and thirty-six to forty-six inches
long. The boxes may appear too long
at first, but they are better too long
than too short. Line the boxes first with

water they possibly can before being
placed on the stems. After putting this
wet paper on the stems, place the two
cleats on and fasten them down securely
with nails. Be careful in placing the
cleats to put them only on the double
rows of stems and not beyond, and also
see there is plentv of wet newspapers
under them, so there will be no danger
of breaking the stems by pushing the
cleats too far down.

The Question of Ice.
The subject of icing a box is a de-
batable point, but for long distance ship-

ments our experience is th^t a small
piece of ice well wrapped 'with news-
papers helps to' preserve the flowers f ronk
heat and also keep the newspapers over
the stems moist. For varieties that have-
brittle stems, like Lawson, care must be-
taken not to fasten the cleats down too
tight, or too near the neck of the flower,
or the stems will be broken in handling
the package. It is also well to put a
few sheets of tissue paper well crumpled
up between the cleats and the flower
heads. This will absorb any damp, cold
air from the ice and will also serve a»
a cushion to protect the flowetrs from
shaking up and down in the box by rouglv
handling.

The Points to Improve. '

In order to dispose lof our product to-
advantage, it is absolutely necessary to
continue to improve our methods of
handling carnations intended for ship-
ment. They must be grown stronger,.
more air given, and great care taken in
feeding. The effect of the warm spring
rains must be overcome in some way, as
during such periods it is almost im~
posible to ship carnations any distance
and not have them arrive fast asleep.

All the little details of cutting, plac*
ing in water and shipping, should be at-
tended to with the greatest fidelity and^
as we improve our methods of handling
and our varieties of stock, so shall we-
increase our " volume of business. The
advisability of devoting a certain amount
of glass to growing plants for spring and
early summer blooming is a point that
should be considered. There are some-
varieties that are at their best during
these periods, and there is no doubt that
carnations always ship best when in full
crop.

If the creators of new varieties would
give more attention to the keeping and
shipping qualities of their new flowers in-
stead of trying to increase the size sa
much they would be working along lines
that are susceptible of considerable im-
provement. No matter how large a
flower, or how fragrant or brilliantly col-
ored it is, if it will not keep well and
ship well it cannot be grown extensively.
The immense number of railroads center-
ing here and reaching out in every direc-
tion, with frequent trains and quick
express service, gives us a field to be
supplied that reaches as far east as
New York State, Pennsylvania, and
south to Florida, New Orleans, Galvestou
and various Texas points, while west we
can reach all Colorado towns and some
points in Montana, and then on north to
Winnipeg. This vast scope of country
makes Chicago the central flower market
of the United States and has built up'
the immense greenhouse business of this
vicinity.

RADIATION AND HORSE-POWER.

Will you kindly tell us how to estimate
the number of feet li4.-inch pipe to each
square foot of glass surface to maintain
a certain temperature inside, with given'
outside temperature? How many feet of
radiation can a horizontal tubular boiler
rated at fifty horse-power carry without
being overloaded? A- L. W.

I know of no tables which will give
the information in the form desired. Each
foot of lV4-inch pipe represents .434
square feet radiating surface. The
amount of work which this amount of
radiating surface will do depends upon
the kind of heat used, whether steam or

hot water, the pressure under which it is
used, as well as the temperature desired
in the house to be heated. These factors
are variable and the problem of heating
a greenhouse is not an impirical rule of
thumb matter that can be stated in gen-
eral terms for all cases.

In order, therefore, to intelligently
answer the question it would be necessary
to make a table giving the heating power
of a square foot of radiating surface for
hot water at various temperatures and
for steam at different pressures for the
different house temperatures to be em-
ployed ranging from 40 to 80 degrees,
the usual range through which various
greenhouse operations are carried on. It
is therefore much easier for the writer,
and infinitely more satisfactory for the
florist or gardener, to state a specific
problem than to attempt to state impiri-
cal rules to be followed in all cases.
Tables are given in Bailey's Horticultur-
ists ' Rule Book and in Taf t 's Greenhouse
Management, which state the number of
square feet of glass that can be heated
by one square foot of radiation for dif-
ferent temperatures, but even these tables
must be used with due allowance for ^
latitude, exposure and a safety limit'
based on careless workmanship and im-
properly constructed and equipped boil-
ers.

This problem of the most effective
economical means of heating greenhouses
is the most important problem in connec-
tion with commercial floriculture today.
By the use of inferior boilers and poorly
installed piping only a fraction of the
efficiency of the fuel burned can be se-
cured. This, taken in connection with the
gradually advancing price of fuel, ren-
ders this factor one of the most vital
economic factors in the maintenance of a
commercial plant. We may, by employ-
ing skilled gardeners and improved meth-
ods in connection with the best modern
greenhouse construction, increase the out-
put of the house, but if the fuel bill is
not looked sifter with equal care the busi-
ness may prove unremunerative. The

Review is ready and willing to answer
all specific questions and^ as before
stated, I believe these will be more salt-
isfactory to the craft than will general
answers.

Instead of stating the capacity of a
boiler in horse-power, it would be much
better to state the diameter and length
of the boiler, together with the number,
diameter and length of the flues and the
style of setting. These are positive
values, while horse-power in heating boil-
ers has little significance. Horse-power
depends upon pressure and is an accurate
measure where work is being done as in an
engine or pump. Roughly speaking, one

horse-power is equivalent to 100 square
feet of radiating surface. A fifty horse-
power boiler, therefore, should be able to
carry 5,000 feet of radiation, an equiva-
lent of 11,500 feet of 1%-inch pipe.

TO CONTRIBUTORS.

The increase in the size of the Re-
view, gratifying as it has been as a nmrk
of general appreciation, has brought
with it certain difficulties. It was once
possible to put in type on Wednesday, the
day of publication, a large part of all the
matter used in any given issue. To do so
now that so much more matter is print-
ed, would so encroach upon the time al-
lotted to press work, binding and mail-
ing as to seriously delay the delivery of
the paper.

It is, therefore, desirable that in so-
far as possible contributors place their
matter in our hands on Tuesday, or,
better yet, on Monday. If each one will
each week make a little effort to this end
we shall then always be in a position
to handle matter which may occasionally
be belated.

If advertisers, too, will bear in mind
that we would like * * copy ' * not later than
Tuesday, they will be helping us to give
them our best attention when circum-
stances make it desirable to change the
advertisement on Wednesday.

Inspect the Canna Roots.

Thi8 is the time that your canna roots
should be looked over. If they are on
boards beneath a carnation or a rose
bench, where there is little drip, they
are probably all right, but if not on
boards they are sure to feel the mois-
ture from the ground, however dry it
may appear, and start into growth. This
is just what you do not want them to
do. If on boards and a drip from the
bench is falling on a few roots, remove
them or the roots will decay and be
useless. Experienced men know all about
these simple points, yet I have seen
young men, who knew well how to treat
them, deliberately put the canna' roots
beneath a plant bench on a wet surface
where there was a constant drip and
lose the entire lot. The success or fail-
ure of most of our gardening operations
is not so much lack of knowing what
to do as the failure to do it.

Ampelopsis Veitchii.

In the residence portions of our large
cities we have used Ampelopsis VeitcWi
almost to excess, although there is noth-
ing compared to it for covering stone
or brick buildings and walls. It can
be bought cheap enough, yet you can
raise 500 for your own trade quite as
cheaply by sowing the seed now, or with-
in a month. They occupy little bench
room until they are shifted from 2-inch
to 4-inch pots and by that time your
bedding plants are gone. They will
make a good growth durincr summer and
it is very important that they be moved
outdoors by the middle of ^September
so "that Wey may ripen their stems and
foliage before a hard frost arrives.

Dracaena Indivtsa.

"While you are sowing, don't forget
Dracaena indivisa. We never have enough
possibly because we occasionally neg-
lected to sow a flat of seed. It takes
about two years to raise a good plant
in a 5-inch pot large enouerh for the
center of a 2-foot ,vase. It is easily
grown and tough. The dracaena might
be called the "cemetery palm" for,
whatever a vase is filled with, the last
part of the order is sure to be, "Now
•nind, I want one of those narrow-leaved
palms in the center,"

Keep Propagating Space Filled.

There should be no idle space in your
propagating bench at this time. The
experts on roses and carnations have told
all about the proper conditions required
for their encicessful propagation. Near-
ly all our soft-wooded plants are very
simple to root. A sand temperature of
60 to 65 degrees and the atmosphere
as near as you can keep it to 50 degrees.
Tropical plants, like coleus, will, of
course, root faster in a temperature 15
degrees higher both top and bottom, but
the respective temperatures above quoted
will suit, the very great majority of
soft-wooded plants and root them all.

The "fungus of the cutting bed," as

Peter Henderson named it, that almost
invisible fungus that spreads with great
rapidity over the surface of the sand,
which sometimes carries off hundreds of
cuttings in a few hours, is never so'
troublesome where the temperature- of
the house is kept low. A warm," close,
muggy atmosphere is just the condition
to produce this minute fungus. A
bright sun when the sand is dry, not
sufficient water at any time before the
cuttings are rooted, and too high a tem-
perature are the causes of failure.

The young growths of many plants
that cannot be ' properly called soft-
wooded, more shrubby, will • also root
finely now, such as lemon verbena, acaly-
pha, H. P, roses and hydrangea. .Just
about now Hydrangea Otaksa for next
year's forcing should go into the sand.
You have the young, stout growth from
the base of the plant and if rooted
soon there is time to make a fine plant.

The Rooting Medium.

Last week I answered a correspondent
a question about the use of coal ashes
and mentioned that it is an excellent
material for the propagating^ bed. I
said, for that purpose^ to "sift them
through a half -inch mesh." I find that
is a little coarse. A ouarter-inch or
three-eighths is better. Sand from the
lake shore or a pit where the waves
of Lake Erie once rolled, perhaps two
million years ago, is easily procured
here, and we use it, but if we were so
situated that sand was difficult to get
and perhaps paid for by the barrel, we
should use our coke or hard coal ashes.
I have several times seen carnation and

chrysanthemum cuttings rooted in ashes
quite as well as they were ever rooted
in the cleanest saf^d. And I have never
seen any trouble vnth fungous on a bed
of ashes. But proper condition of the
cutting and care are of far more conse-
quence than the medium you use for
the bed.

Tuberoos Rooted Begonias.

If you raise tuberous-rooted begonias
and gloxinias from seed they can now
be sown. They ai'e both extremely small
seeds and are delicate to handle, for
when just germinating a few hours* ne-
glect will ruin the whole batch. We
think, at the extremely low price at
which these bulbs can now be purchased
from specialists or our seed houses, that
the small grower had better purchase
annually one year old bulbs.

If you do sow seed, then fill a seed
pan half full with broken crocks or
coarse lumps of loam or anything that
will afford good drainage. Finish off
with an inch of finely sifted compost.
An equal mixture of loam, sand and
leaf-mold will do for any very fine
seeds. Press the surface smooth, mod-
erately firm and level, the latter being
important. Water with a fine sprinkler
until you believe all the soil is wet. In
an hour or so the surface of the soil
will be moist but not sticky. Then sow
the seeds 9nd press them gently into
the soil. No covering of soil is needed,
A piece of cotton cloth laid on the sur-
face and kept moistened is" about all
that is necessary, but the moment the
seeds germinate, remove the cloth. Uni-
formity of moisture until the plants are
well up is the important point. You
cannot expect many flowers from these
young plants, at least in pots. Special-
ists plant the seedlings out in rich soil
in frames in May or June and they
make fine bulbs for the next year's
flowering. It is six or seven weeks too
early to start the tuberous-rooted bego-
nias for bedding. The gloxinias are
grown only for a pot plant and you can
start some bulbs now or later oi\, even

are slow to start before the season is
advanced. We put them in the carna-
tion beds. If you think they are a det-
riment to your crop^, of carnations and
don't pay for the harm done, then don't
do it, but with us they have never
brought price enough to warrant a
bench to themselves and we have never
seen much barm done when not over-
done. If in a 6-foot bed of carnations
you plant four bulbs every third row,
you will notice little if any difference
in your carnations. The gladioli will not
flower before the end of May or early
June, yet that is a long while before
we get them in the garden. Squeeze the
bulb into the bed even with the surface.

Forcing VaUey,

W? would like to have said earlier
something about lily of the valley. There
may yet be some beginners struggling
with these beautiful little flowers, as
we did twenty years ago. It is too
long a story how to build a box for the
forcing of these roots and, briefly, for
the man who only forces a thousand a
week> a suitable place can easily be
fixed. Let there be six inches of sand
with sufficient hot water pipes beneath
the bed to insure a steady heat of 75
to 80 degrees in the sand. The top heat
now and for the next month can be
55 to 60 degrees. We failed several
years simply because we had too high a
temperature of the air. Do not cut the
roots oflF to within three inches of the
pips, but cut off only an 'inch from
the end of the roots. Water every day
until: the bells can be plainly counted;
then don't let water touch the flower
spike, or it will discolor and rot the
bells. Carefully water the sand between
the rows. The first ten days the bed
can be covered a foot above the crowns
with thin, light boards fastened togeth-
er a convenient size. Then, for another
week, frames covered with cheese cloth
will do, and after the first bells are
showing color you can give them the

full light, providing no sunshine strikes
thert.

Just as an illustration between suc-
cess and failure, we had for several years
great success in such a bed as described ;
then came a time that we had to force
out some lilies for Easter and in March
we ran the night heat up to 70 degrees
and higher in the daytime. That set-
tled our valley success. They were
spindling, drooped and were all-round ' * N.
G. " Of course, as the season advances
less bottom heat is needed; in fact, it
must be reduced. At the same time do
all you can to keep down the top tem-
perature. William Scott.

RETURNING CONDENSATION.

Kindly advise what you consider the
best solution for the following: We
have a self-contained tubular boiler, hav-
ing a grate area of about twenty square
feet. It has fifty-two return flues three
inches in diameter and twenty-six four
inches in diameter and has a good draft.
It stands seven feet high from floor to

crown. We are at present using this
boiler for hot water circulation. We
intend increasing our glass, which, when
increased, will consist of three attached
houses, two 20x100 and one 16x100. The
side walls are four feet high with no
glass and ridge is ten feet high. There
will also be one short span house 32x100
and ten feet to the ridge, with twenty-
four inches of glass in the sides; also
two separate houses, each 25x100, fifteen
feet to the ridge and side walls five and
one-half feet high with twejity-four
inches of glass.

The floor of the first three houses is
not quite as high as the crown of the
boiler and the floor of the last three
houses is three and one-half feet lower
than that of the first three and about
two and one-half feet higher than cellar
floor on which boiler rests.

We desire to heat the houses with
low pressure steam, if possible, at a
temperature suitable for carnations (48
to 54 degrees) except the house 16x100,
where we need a temperature of 65 de-
grees during zero weather.

We realize that a steam trap is neces-
sary. Are there steam traps in the mar-
ket which will successfully do the work
with low pressure steam? And would
this boiler, under low pressure steam,
heat the plant, and would you advise the
use of low pressure under the circum-
stances? If not, then would high pres-
sure steam heat the plant, and what would
you use to return the water to the boiler,
considering that the pressure from the
water main which feeds the boiler is
only ten or twelve pounds and would
not overcome the steam pressure? Would
an injector with a return steam trap
be as good or better than a steam
pump? W; B. C.

I judge from your statement that it
is impracticable to change the location
of the boUer so as to place it on lower
ground and thus take advantage of a
gravity system, or even to deepen the
present pit to accomplish the same end.
If neither of these alternatives can be
used, the next best thing is the steam
trap. By placing a hot-well in the floor
of the present boiler room, into which to

drain the returns, a trap can be used to
lift. the water from the hot-well and dis-
charge it into the boiler. In order to
make a steam trap work successfully it
is necessary to maintain a steam pres-
sure of not less than six to eight pounds.
When the pressure falls below this point
traps with which I have had ezperi*
ence do not work well. If the pressure
is maintained at six to eight pounds,
however, there will be no difficulty in
maintaining a satisfactory circulation
with such an arrangement. If electricity

is available an electric pump can be in-
stalled to do the work of the steam
trap or a small gasoline engine might
be substituted to do the same work.
There are several good steam traps upon
the market, among which may be men-
tioned the Morehead, the Albany and the
Kieley. I believe that with an intelli-
gent fireman who will maintain a con-
stant pressure on the boiler no trouble
will be experienced from the use of low
pressure steam and a good trap.

GIVE MORE HEAT.

We have a carnation house with solid
beds. The house is only two years old.
The plants give very *few flowers but
appear very healthy. Last season we
thought we were too late getting them
planted, so this year were planted in
June. The house has ventilators all
around. We keep the temperature about
40 degrees at night and 60 degrees in
the daytime. Why don't we get flow-
erst L. & A. H.

If, as you say, your plants are healthy
and strong, the only trouble with your
carnations is too low a temperature; 40
degrees at night will not give you many
blooms during the winter on any kind
of a bed, solid or raised. Raise the
temperature to 50 to 52 degrees at night
and 60 to 65 degrees in the day. But
don't do it too suddenly; a degree each
night is fast enough. A. F. J. Baur.

OUTDOOR CARNATIONS.

I want to grow some carnations out-
doors to come into bloom about July.
Please tell me how to go about it. What
kinds to get and when. How to get
them and how to care for them.

C. S. M.

If you want carnations for bloomine
outdoors as early ae July you will have
to get started pretty soon, so as to have
good, thrifty plants that have been
topped at least once before you plant
them out. Cuttings that are potted be-
fore February 15 will do all right if you
keep them moving. Pot them into 2-
inch pots and when they are well estab-
lished repot into 3-inch pots and top
them after they have taken hold of ' the
soil. Plant out as early tus you can and
let them come into flower as soon as
they want to. Do not top them after
they have been planted out if you want
early blooms. Plant them where you
can reach them with the hose and in
good rich soil. A mulch of well-rotted
manure will help them, too, to keep the
moisture in the soil. The best varieties
we find are Crocker and Scott in bright
pink, Pair Maid in light pink. Flora
Hill and Mrs. Fisher in white and Crane
in red. This list might be improved
upon in the newer varieties, but these
are-all good and moderate in price.

CARNATION NOTES.-EAST.

Feeding.

With the days growing noticeably
longer, the questior of feeding comes up
for consideration. I know many grow-
ers commence this operation much earlier,
but my experience has been that with
proper methods of handling, it is not
necesary; neither, is it advisable, as a
rule, until the .short, dark days of winter
are past. If your soil was of good qual-
ity when the plants were benched, intel-
ligent care will have kept the stock in
far better condition than if food of a
stimulating nature had been employed.

Soil may be of very good quality but
deficient in some needed element or per-
haps may contain correct proportions of
fertilizers but not in a readily available
form. Top dressings of the needed ele-
ment and the application of lime dispose
of these cases in the order given, being
only a small part of that wUch goes to
make up intelligent care.

One must needs be well posted on the
peculiarities and make up of his soil^
how much has been cut from the plants
and their state of health when consider-
ing the question of feeding. It would not
be advisable to feed a variety which
for any reason has not bloomed well;
neither will any amouQt of feeding bene-
fit a sickly lot of plants. The chances
are they have the dyspepsia already.

In the case of a variety planted early
and which has been giving good returns
all winter and its vigorous look indicates
continued bloom, the case is different.
The soil must be somewhat depleted, as
either size of bloom, strength of stem,
color of foliage or brilliancy in the flow-
er will indicate, but be sure the stock
is healthy, well over the holiday strain
and a goodly number of strong shoots on
the way.

It is good policy before applying
liquid food to first rake the surface
soil very lightly. This not only admits
air but prevents too rapid leaching of
the liquid into the soil, resulting in a loss
of food or unequal feeding.

SEMI-SOLID BEDS.

I would like to hear again, through
the BiiviEW, on the subject of semi-solid
beds for carnations. Are they giving as
good or better results than the raised
benchesi How does the growth, quality
and quantity of bloom compare? For
an even-span carnation house thirty
feet wide with walls five and one-half
feet high and fourteen and one-half feet
to the ridge give the right pitch to the
roof f J. C. H.

Every season we hear of more growers
adopting either solid or semi-solid beds
for growing both roses and carnations,
and among them are large growers, too,
and among the most successful in the
land. Just today we had the pleasure
of an hour's visit from that progressive

Boutherner, Mr. Joy, of Nashville, and
he told us that their experience with
solid beds has been so satisfactory that
all their benches are going to come down
and give place to solid beds for carna-
tions and roses, including Beauties.

There is no doubt in my mind that,
all things considered, the solid beds or
semi-solid, beds are preferable to raised
benches. The one thing you want to be
sure of is that you have good drainage.
If the ground on which you build is
of a sandy nature you can just as well
have solid beds, but if it does not nat-
urally drain well, then you would better
build a semi-solid bed, using a foot of
cinders, coarse ashes or broken stone
-and about four inches of soil to plant in.
You will not find much, if any, diflfer-
•ence in quality and quantity between the
two methods except what may be caused
by the soil used or the grade of cul-
ture given. These will count for just as
much with the one as with the other
and in fact they are the main factors.

The dimensions you give for sidewalls,
xidge and width will give about the right
pitch to your roof. A. F. J. Baur.

HAD A CHECK.

I send specimens of Lawson, Norway
and Joost which are crippled, the foli-
age seeming unable to unfold. What is
the trouble? Only a fej^y, plants are as
yet affected. " ? I/. M.

The specimens came so badly frozen
that I was unable to form any idea of
what might be the cause of the trouble.
Frequently such trouble is brought on
bj a severe check of some kind: Dry
at the bottom of the bed, too strong a
dose of food, a sudden change in tem-
perature, or something like that.

A. F. J. Baub.

TOOC(X)L.

I send specimens of carnation foliage
to show how it is turning brown and
•drying up. They are in a house 40 to
45 degrees at night and 60 degrees in
the day. The pipes are under the
benches and I have found the soil dry a
few times. I also send specimens of
White Cloud. The plants are strong,
but the flowers do not develop as thev
should. These ay in a house 45 to 50
degrees at night and 65 degrees in the
daytime. On account of being planted
late these have never had any fertilizer.

C. U.

The drying of the foliage on your
plants is caused by a bacterial disease,
brought on by a general unhealthy con-
dition of the plants. The White Cloud
buds acting as they are doing is no
doubt also due to the same cause. You
are running them entirely too cool; 40
"to 45 degrees is too low a temperature
for any carnation to do anything in.
Baise the temperature to 48 to 52 de-
grees at night and 60 to 65 degrees m
the daytime. Pick off all the diseased
foliage and the weak buds and when
you see a renewal of growth give them
a thin mulch of well rotted cow ma-
nure. Run them a little on the drv
side until they begin to grow and
sprinkle some wood ashes or air-slaked
lime on the soil and water it in. Do
this as soon as you eet the soil into
the right condition. Do not propagate
from this stock, but buv healthy cut-
tings from some responsible firm. Plant

earlier next season. The first of Sep-
tember should see all your carnations
planted and started.

THE BUGHTED CARNATION.

The note below is reprinted from the
January issue of Everybody's Magazine,
the publication which is printing Law-
son's articles on "Frenzied Finance."
His readers will hope that Mr. Lawson
is more accurate than this fellow-cm-
tributor :

ThM'e was a time not lontr ago when the
carnation waa the favorite flower, surpasalng
la Its fleeting popularity even the Tlolet and

the rose. President McKInley's fondneas for
the red carnation Is still fresh In every mem-
ory, as is his habit of giving Mrs. McKlnley
a bouquet of carnations every morning. A very
beautiful red carnation Is called The President
in remembrance of his liking. The carnatlom
deserved the enthusiasm of its lovers. It is
lovely of color, shape and fragrance. It is baU
hardy. It is within the reach of not too
plethoric purses. But it- has fallen on evil
times. Its old enemies, the green fly, th« red
spider, and the thrlps, are easily fought. Even
the bacteria that attack it can be conquered.
A^^alnst stem-rot and dry-rot, however, no suc-
cessful defense has been found. It has loat its
vitality. Its constitution has broken down.
The average variety lives only three or four
years and produces but a, single flower to a
stem. Formerly there were eight to twelv*
flowers to a stem. In short, the carnation Js
dying of some unknown disease. Which means,
translated into economic language, that cama-
tlons will be rarer and costly.

CARE IN CUTTING.

During the winter months, when plants
are in their most torpid state, root
action slow and eyes hard to start,
great care should be taken when taking
the cut to leave the very best eyes on
the flower stem in order to secure a fu-
ture cr.op. Which are the best eyes for
this purpose is still a mooted question
and especially so where the true hybrid
remontant is in question. With teas,
such as Bride and Bridesmaid, it is a
safe practice to leave at least three well
developed leaves on the stem, as any
one of these is certain to produce a
good flower stem, and the others will
produce as many leaves as will keep
root action going when the flower is cut
Without causing a plethora of Udnd
wood, which should be carefully guarded
against and which can easily be in-
duced by careless cutting.

With hybrid teas, such as Meteor, it is
safe to leave even more than this num-
ber, as we invariably get the best stems
from those plants which have been cut
rather high. After years of experiment-
ing with this variety, which is not quite
a dead one, I am in favor of leaving
at least four eyes, even on the strongest
stems, as it is usually the topmost eye
that gives the best stem.

On parallel benches I have tried close
cutting, that is, leaving one or two eyes
on one bench and on the other leaving
from four to five. This, of course,
showed at the first cut in favor of the
close cut plants by reason of the longer
stems, but during succeeding crops they
failed to keep up with the other benches.

When cutting our first crop of Beau-
ties an inch or two more in length
of stem adds materially to the price and
many of us are so anxious to catch
that elusive dollar that we lost sight of
the others that are certain to come

our way if we only treat our plants
right. By cutting so very close in
September and October we denude our
plants cf their breathing apparatus,
which checks root action and causes the
wood to harden abnormally and the con-
sequence is that our plants remain in-
active during the winter and only start
into vigor with the spring growth,
when the best of the harvest is over.

Such varieties as Chatenay, Ivory and
Golden Gate, which show a sparseness
of foliage on* the stem, should also be
allowed at least four eyes, as this has
a tendency to sustain and keep the plants
vigorous, strong and active, lessening the
tendency to take a rest, which it is the
duty of every grower to obviate, and
the fewer leaves we leave on a plant
the greater encouragement we give to
rest. And when they enter on this
condition during the winter it is a hard
problem to entice them to go to work
again. BiBSS.

ROSE SEEDS.

Please tell us how to handle rose seeds.
I have two pods of seeds still on the
plants that I have fertilized. Can the
seeds be sown as soon as ripe or must
they be stratified t F. P. B.

In order to perfect the germs the hips
must remain on the bushes until they
are perfectly ripe. After gathering they
should be dried in the sun and after-
wards rubbed out. The seed can then
either be sown at once or, if the season
is not suitable, the hips can be kept
whole and stored in dry sand or soil un-
til sprine.

A shallow box or pan filled with soil
of a sandy nature suits them. Sow in
drills and cover to the depth of half
an inch and place the box in a cold
frame. Keep the soil moderately moist
and during the summer use a light mulch
of moss to keep the surface cool.

The sefds take a long time to germi-
nate, many of them not appearing the
first season, so patience must be exercised
when dealing with this class of work.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

Januabt 26. 1906.

As soon as the plants are large enough
to handle they should be transplanted
or put into 2-inch pots, shaded until
root action is well commenced, and given
plenty of air at all times. It usually
takes a year to produce the first flower
and these give us little indication, be-
yond color, or what quality the rose is
likely to be. Eibes.

MME. CHATENAY.

Thinking of planting some Chatenay
roses and not having had any expe-
rience with it, I would like to know if
its constitution is robust enough for
a back bench, also if grafted plants
are superior to those on their own
roots? I use grafted stock for all teas
on account of club root but thought
that perhaps Chatenay is vigorous
enough to overcome this. H. T.

Chatenay, like all other roses, loves
light and sunshine and, though it pos-
sesses a strong constitution it would be
a mistake to give it an inferior posi-
tion, as this is a certain means of
weakening it.

So far as I have tested it, there
seems to be no appreciable difference
between grafted and own-root stock but
perhaps m the grafted stock the foliage
may be a little closer on the stem. If
you are troubled with club root or eel-
worms it is always safer to use grafted
stock but as yet I have heard of no
complaint with this variety on that

EARTHWORMS IN ROSE SOIL.

Please let me know whether or not
the common fish worm is harmful in the
soil of a rose bed and, if so, the best
way to get rid of them. H. A. F.

The common earthworm does no real
harm to a rose bed unless they become
too plentiful. They can easily be de-
stroyed by an application of lime water
m the nroportion of one pound of un-
baked lime to eight gallons of water.
Giving the bench a fair watering with
this will certainly get rid of them with-
out causing the least injury to the stock.

ROSE RICHMOND.

It may be of interest for rose growers
to learn what we know of the new rose,
as we are located within a few miles
of Mr. Hill's place and are familiar
with the entire history of this fine new
variety. We visited the greenhouses
when the first plant was grown from the
seed and were at once well impressed
with the flower and plant. We saw it
the next season, when he had something
less than a hundred plants, when we
became so enthusiastic over it that we
made a liberal offer for the entire stock,
which- he very wisely refused, although
the amount was not small. When he
announced to us a few weeks ago that
he was ready to take orders, we imme-
diately placed a large order, the first
he received.

As we have seen the rose during these
three seasons, it has always shown a
most vigorous growth, good health and
very free flowering. Looking at a bench
of it, it never has that uneven appear-
ance that most all benches of Liberty
have. It shows much of the habit and
form of one of its parents, Lady Batter-
sea. An unusually long pointed bud and

a stiff, wiry stem even in the short
lengths, although it makes a large major-
ity of good standard stems. The color
is a grand red, very similar to Liberty,
but a little lighter. During a recent visit
we looked over about 3,000 plants in
full crop for some deformed or
"dumpy" looking buds, but did not
find one.

The above is what we know of the
rose, and we have probably seen more of
it, and watched it closer than any other
grower outside of Richmond.

BE EXPLIQT.

I have about 1,000 Brides and Brides-
maids and would like to know how to
handle them, whether to keep them warm,
or what? I have them in a house which

is about 60 to 65 degrees days and 50
to 55 degrees at night. How would it
be to put them in the rose house and
cut them back? W. M.

Had this querist been a little more ex-
plicit it would have enabled me to give
a more definite answer. For instance, I
have to guess whether the plants are in
pots or in the bench. If they are in
pots, as I presume they are, from the
freedom with which he speaks of trans-
ferring them to the rose house, I would
advise him not to cut back at all, but to
give them sufficient pot room and feed
occasionally with liquid manure. The
temperature at night is all right but they
enjoy a run up to 80 degrees when the
weather is bright, especially when free
ventilation can be piven. Bebes.

THE HISTORY AND CULTURE OF

GRAFTED ROSES m FORCING

■V ALEXANDER MONTGOMERY, JR.,
WABAN ROSE CONSERVATORIES. NATICK. MASS.

COPYIIIQHT, 1904, BY FLORISTS' PUBLISHING CO.

Grafting Case for Few Plants.

While on the subject of cases I may
mention a method that has proven very
satisfactory for a limited number of
plants, such as seedlings or a new vari-
ety, when the wood is scarce and needs
special care. Take a box of convenient
size, a cracker box is good, putty up
all the cracks, put an inch of well mois-
tened sphagnum moss in the bottom,
and place the case on the sand in a
propagating bed; set in the grafts, lay
on a light of glass, making tight with
putty, and let alone. After about ten
days handle the same as a regular case.
With careful grafting 100 per cent can
be taken out with this method.

Grafting Dormant Wood.

There is also a scheme that can be
used for dormant wood which does not
require a grafting case. It cannot be
recommended for general use, but only
in special cases, such, for instance, as
when a grower has parted with a five-
dollar bill for some "highly recom-
mended" French novelty and feels that
he possibly might get his money's worth
if only he could graft the few little dor-
mant eyes.

To proceed, then, select good plump
stocks direct from the bundles, picking
out those which have not started from
the eyes. Take scions that are well
ripened and dormant. The operation of
making the union is the same as for
regular grafting except that after
tying it should be well covered with
grafting wax, which should be melted
in a water bath so that it may not be
hot enough to injure the wood. Afler
waxing they should be packed in boxes
in upright layers, with sphagnum moss
between, and placed in a house with a
temperature of 45 degrees.

In from four to six weeks, or at the
time when the stocks begin to send out
white rootlets, they may be taken out
and potted, when they should be treat-

ed the same as though they were newly
potted stocks alone, except that as the
roots begin to take hold of the soil the
temperature should be gradually in-
» creased. After the bud in the scion
has started to grow the temperature
should reach normal.

This plan has worked well for graft-
ing dormant hybrid perpetuals and,
also, it can be used quite successfully
with dormant Kaiserin and Carnot.

Beds or Benches ?

Having now a good batch of choice
young stock, the question arises, are
beds or benches preferable? For plants
that are to be forced two or three years
in the same soil I should say most de-
cidedly use beds, for a variety of rea-
sons. The Manetti, being a gross feed-
er, requires plenty of room in which to
search for food. With our own rather
light soil we plant in from seven to
eight inches; but this matter of the
proper depth of soil is, of course, an
entirely local one and depends upon the
texture of loam which is available for
the work, a heavy, fine-grained clay
necessitating a lesser depth in order to
allow air and water to pass through it
readily.

AGoodBed.

A very serviceable and economical
bed is built as follows: Drive 3x3-inch
chestnut posts four feet apart along the
line of the outer edges of the bed;
the width of the bed will, of course,
vary according to the notions of the
grower. Spike onto the posts, on each
side of the bed, two lines of plank 8x
1% inches, leaving the bottom plank
raised two inches from the ground. Fill
in about six inches of stones or broken
rocks, placing carefully so as to allow
for free circulation of air. Over this
put three or four inches of coarse
gravel, dump in the soil and the bed is
ready for planting. In localities where

The Weekly FIcMists' Review^

54J

gravel or stone is not plentiful, drain
tile can probably be secured quite rea-
sonably and ought to answer the pur-
pose equally as well as gtones and
gravel.

Of course, if a man thinks that his
grandchildren two generations hence
will be satisfied with, any form of bed
which happens to be the fashion of the
present day, he may construct any of
the elaborate forms, using cement or
brick, or any of the patented what-
nots; but the one described " will be
used generallv by the grower whose
capital for the increase of his glass
area must be taken from the profits of
his business.

Trend Toward Solid Beds.

The trend 'at the present time seems
to be toward ^ so-called solid beds, as
nearly all the large ranges, at least in
the east, which have been constructed
recently are equipped with solid beds.
One of the most striking instances of
this reversion from raised benches to
solid beds is found in the cases of those
Beauty growers who a few years ago
set out young plants on benches, and
who are now growing their Beauties in
beds as long as three, and in some cases
four, years without replanting. While,
as a rule, they do not claim any great
increase in the yearly average of qual-
ity, they do get a longer cutting season,
in addition to the saving in young
plants, soil and cost of planting.

One of the chief objections to grow-
in^g plants more than one year on
benches is the difficulty of properly dry.
ing them off on account of the danger
of the soil becoming too dry and kill-
ing the roots completely. The solid
bed, it may be remarked in this con-
nection, maintains a more even condi-
tion of moisture and temperature, both
summer and winter, than a bench, and
consequently lessens the chances of in-
jury to the plants from neglect or in-
competence on the part of the work-
man.

Wlhile plants on a bench can be car-
ried over successfully by the experi-
enced grower, the beginner will find
that his chances of failure are consider-
ably lessened if he makes his first at-
tempt in solid beds.

Union Must Be Buried.

The subsequent treatment of the
grafted plants does not differ radically
from that of own-root roses except in
a few particulars. The one thing which
is absolutely necessary, and which must
be done to secure the best results with
grafted roses, is to plant them so that
the whole of the union of graft and
scion will always be from one-half to
one inch below the surface of the soil.
This is imperative, not Only that the
plants may make roots from the union,
but also for other reasons which do
not seem to be so easily explained; be-
cause, aside from this question of roots,
it seems to be a fact that the Manetti
union needs to be surrounded with that
condition of air and moisture which is
found best in soil.

Moreover, the cells that form the
callus at the union have a tendency to
dry up when exposed to the sun and
air, and consequently are not able to
perform properly their funoftiooi^ of
transmitting the sap from stock to
scion. For this reason, also, I believe
that young grafted plants which have

check from which they will never fully

I shall repeat, then, if conditions are
such that the grafted plants cannot be
given full justice by placing the union
below the soil, then by all means do
not attempt to grow them, but use own-
root plants in preference.

LUNCHEON TABLE DECORATIONS.

Accompanying this note is the picture
of a round luncheon table decorated for a
party of eight. The color scheme is
white and green, and the center-piece is
a star of Boman hyacinths and smilax.
The central point of the star is a vase
eight inches high, containing fifty Ro-
mans. Around this, traced freehand with
strings of smilax, is the outline of a
star. After outlining the design rough-
ly, lay on extra pieces of smilax to
make the edges the same thickness all
around. Smilax will keep the star form
by being merely laid on the cloth; no
pinning or wiring is necessary.

Next, just within each point, is placed
a crystal candlestick holding a green can-
dle and a silver filigree shade. After
this, separate three or four strings of
smilax into the small strands of which
they are composed. Fasten one end of
one of these small strings around a can-
dlestick, about one-third of the way up,
and carry the strand to the center vase
and fasten there. It should be draped
loosely. This forms the center line of
one of the points of the star. Fill the
center lines of the other points in the
same way. Then run these light strings
of smilax to other points on the outline
of the star till you have made a network
of green from the center vase to the edge
of the star all around. No fastening is
necessary. The sprays will hold them-
selves in place if set in deep among the
hyacinths in the vase and will catch

among the heavier foliage on the edge.
After the green part of the star has
been completed, trim about one-half the
stems from fifty Romans and scatter
them on top of the edge of the smilax
which outlines the star. Set the stems
well down among the smilax leaves and
let flowers fall along the smilax length-
wise, and the star is completed.

The place cards for the table were
white stars with green edges done in
water colors. The favors were smilax
boas, each one a yard long, the light
end being doubled back and a small
piece added to make the thickness uni-
form. Half a dozen hyacinths were dotted
along each boa and at one end was a
white tulle bow. This end of the boa
was laid at the place and the other end
thrown over the back of the chair. The
hostess set the example of placing the
boa as the guests were seated. It was
necessary, of course, to fasten the hya-
cinths on the boas with fine wire, and
just as necessary to wrap the sharp ends
of the wires back to conceal their scratch-
ing qualities. The boas required one
and one-fourth strings of smilax each,
one-half dozen hyacinths and one-half
yard of tulle. In the star there were
used nine strings of smilax and 100 Bo-
mans and one string festooned the chan-
delier overhead, making a total of two
dozen smilax and 150 Romans. The table
was six feet in diameter.

HISTORY OF DOROTHY FAUST.

I see in a recent issue of the Beview
that the New York chrysanthemum com-
mittee through Eugene Dailledouze, chair-
man, in passing upon the merits of a
chrysanthemum sent to them as Dorothy
Faust, declared that it was a known va-
riety, Mrs. Robert McArthur. In justice
to myself, for I was the exhibitor, I feel
I should make some statement and ask a
few questions.

If it is McArthur, how did I get it!
I never had, and I do not think anyone
else around Philadelphia, had McArthur,
else it would have been recognized.

Four years ago I had a batch of Bon-
naffon chrysanthemums in 3-inch pots
and, wishing to increase my supply. I took
the top out of each. When I benched
them I planted all of the original 3-inch
lot and all of the plants produced from
the top cuttings. When they bloomed,
among the latter lot I noticed this white
variety, an unusually fine clean flower. I
had bought no chrysanthemums at all
from any one that year and the year be-
fore only a lot of Chadwick from Bobert
Craig & Son. Among the original batch
of 3-inch Bonnaffon I speak of there was
no white. I carefully lifted this stranger
among my Bonnaffons and the following
year had about twenty-five plants, show-
ing it to everyone who came in, and the
next year I had quite a bench full. Mr.
Craig saw it and so did Mr. Harris.
Neither of them knew it and at Mr.
' Craig 's suggestion I sent it to E'. G. Hill,
of Bichmond, Ind. He said it was an un-
usually fine white but could not help me
in naming it. I also sent a flower to El-
mer D, Smith and he could not place it.
So I wonder, and still the wonder
grows, how this could be Mrs. Bobert Mc-
Arthur. How did it get among my flow-

ers? Could it be possible for two flowers

to be so much alike as to be mistaken

for one another?

, If it really is McArthur I am glad to

find the name for it. The only difference

it will make to me is that I shall not

sell any of the stock, and those who wish

to grow it (^n buy iVicArthur and I shall

grow my own stock.

THE BOSTON CLUB MEETING.

As briefly mentioned in last week '9
Review, the Gardeners ' and Florists '
Club's meeting at Horticultural Hall on
January 17 was an excellent one, the at-
tendance being the largest in the history
of the club.. The retiring president, J.
A. Pettigrew, in a fellcitious speech, cor-
dially thanked the members for the ex-
cellent support he had received from them
during his tenure of office and predicted
continued progress under the new board
of officers elected. Mr, Pettigrew then
handed over the gavel to his successor in
office, James Wheeler, who, with the
other officers, was installed and intro-
duced to the members in proper form.

Mr. Wheeler, in an excellent speech,
expressed his sincere thanks to the mem-
bers for the honor conferred upon him
and said if he could fill the chair half
as well as the retiring president he
would do well. He ask^ for co-opera-
tiou in making 1905 the club's banner
year. Mr. Wheeler was warmly applaud-
ed when he sat down.

J. K. M. L. Farquhar opened a dis-
cussion in regard to the form the awards
of the club should take. He was anxious
they should not duplicate those of the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society.
Quite a number of members confessed
their views on the subject, including
Messrs. J^'inlayson, Fewkes, Orpet, Stew-
art, Anderson, Craig and others, most of
the speakers favoring Mr. Farquhar 's
suggestigns.

There were numerous excellent exhib-
its on the tables and the president ap-
pointed Messrs. Fisher, Fewkes, Downs,
Duncan, Finlayson and Craig a commit-
tee on awards. They recommended awards
as follows: Certificates of superior merit
to A. J. Guttman, for Carnation Victory
and E. O. Orpet for Cattleya Susannse
(C. Skinneri x C. Wameri). Certificates
of merit to Charles Sander for Begonia
Gloire de Lorraine var. Tunford Hall;
to Palmer & Son, Lancaster, N. Y., for
Carnation Bed Lawson, and C. W. Ward
for Carnations President, Ethel Ward
and Robert Craig. Votes of thanks were
given to the following: Carnations Oc-
toroon, Lieut. Peary and Christmas Eve
from C. W. Ward; H. A. Stevens Co. for
their new Variegated Lawson, which was
certificated at the l>ecember meeting;
Carnations Prosperity, White Lawson
and Enchantress from Guttman & Web-
er; seedling carnations from Backer &
Co.; seedling carnations from Thomas
Waldie, Beverly, Mass., which included
very fine crimson and variegated varie-
eties; white seedling carnations from Er-
nest E. Wild, Braintree, Mass., a cross
between Lawson and Olympia, very prom-
ising and one the committee hoped to
see again; Begonia Vesuvius from James
Wheeler; Mont Blanc sweet peas from
William Sim; very fine Lilium Harrisii
from Alexander Ogg, carrying thirteen
to fifteen flowers per stalk.

E. O. Orpet, in addition to Cattleya
Susannas, shown for the first time in
America or Europe, had the following

seedlings which attracted much atten-
tion: LsBlio-cattleya Haroldiana, Cat-
tleya X Tbayeriana, Epi-cattleya, auran-
ti-media, Lajlio-cattleya epicasta (L.
pumila X C. gigas), Lselio-cattleya Co-
rona (L. cinnabarina x C. labiata), Lse-
}io-cattleya x Milton (C. speciosissima
X Brassavola glauca), Leelia x Perrini,
also a fine spile of Odontoglossum cris-
pum.

Each of the exhibitors spoke briefiy
on his exhibits. Frank Hamilton, of
Queens, N. Y., who was present in Mr.
Ward's absence, spoke for the Cottage
Garden's carnations, stating that they
were not selected flowers, but merely
such as they were shipping to New York
daily. A. J. Guttman responded for
Victory, describing its good qualities.
He said they had found no faults in this
variety so far. Tbey would bench 20,-
000 plants of it next season. Charles
Sander said Begonia Tunford Hall was
a-grand good thing, however much some
might decry it. Alexander Ogg said his
Lilium Harrisii were grown in a carna-
tion temperature and William Sim that
his sweet peas were sown in July, grown
in solid beds and given a night tempera-
ture of 50 degrees. E, O. Orpet spoke
briefly on his seedlings, in which he said
he supposed many present were not in-
terested. Quite a number, however,
thought them the most meritorious ex-
hibit in the hall.

It was voted enthusiastically to join
in the invitation extended by the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society to the
American Carnation S(Jciety to hold its
1906 meeting and convention in Boston.

J. Woodward Manning, being intro-
duced, gave an excellent lecture on
' ' The Gardener and Landscape Garden-
ing, ' ' which was listened to with the
closest attention. Mr. Manning gave nu-
merous lantern views to illustrate his
lecture. It was regrettable that the
lateness of the hour prevented any dis-
cussion, as many there present would
liked to have spoken on some phases of
landscape question. Refreshments were
served before the meeting closed, which
was about 11 o'clock. All present pro-
nounced the meeting so helpful that they
felt they must ask more of their friends
to join. Thirteen new members were elect-
ed during the evening. W. N. Craiq.

RE-POTTING KENTIAS.

I have several thousand fine kentiaa
iu 2-inch pots ready for shift. Will
you kindly tell me if I shall shift
them at once or hold till early summer?
I cannof givo netter than 60 to 65 de-
grees tfimperature. I want this stock
ready for 4 -inch stock in the spring of
1906. F. R.

As kentias contine to grow more or
less throughout the winter it would be
quite proper to repot this stock at once,
shifting them from 2-inch to 3-inch
pots. By following this plan the
plants should be ready for another shift
into 4-inch pots by next September or
possibly a little earlier than that, and
ought to make strong 4-inch stock for
the Spring of 1906.

A night temperature of 60 to 62 de-
grees is quite high enough for the ken-
tias and will produce better and more
stocky plants than if they are kept
warmer and the lower temperature is
less favorable for the spread of red
spider and thrips. W. H. Taplin.

VARIETIES OF LETTUCE.

What variety of lettuce would you
recommend where it is to be started
in the greenhouse and then removed to
cold frames! K M.

If confined to one variety for the pur-
pose you mention I would choose Bos-
ton Market on account of its earliness.
Big Boston is larger and does well in
frames but takes about eight days long-
er than Boston Market to mature. An-
other first-class lettuce that matures
about the same time as the Big Boston
is Deacon. This is the best standing
variety we have ever tried. Unless you
want to cut your lettuce all about the
same time I would advise you to try
all three varieties. W. 8. Crotdon.

BEST TOMATO.

Which will be the best tomato to grow
for early market, Lorillard or Earlianaf
We raise plants in pots and would be
glad of advice. S. H. B.

' You will not make any mistake in
growing Earliana; it is a good all-round
extra early variety. The fruit, though
somewhat below average size, is uniformly
smooth and well shaped. Early Freedom
is also good, though rather small fruited.
Lorillard has many good points as an
extra early sort but with us in recent
years has produced a number of badly
shaped fruits. This is most pronounced
in the first of the season; later on the
fruits are better but as the earliest fruits
are the ones for which the best price is
obtained, this is a serious drawback to
the Lorillard variety and we now grow
Earliana and Freedom in preference.

W. 8. Cbotdon.

LIQUID MANURE.

We will soon be out of fhe duU, short
days, and the rays of Old Sol will begin
to have a warmer feeling. All plants
will soon begin to show fresh vigor and
demand a more abundant supply of mois-
ture. When the benches begin to dry
out pretty frequently the time has ar-
rived when occasional applications of
liquid stimulants will be of benefit to.
such crops as are in a fit state to take it.
There is a good deal in knowing just
when it should be applied to certain
plants, as if applied injudiciously, time
and trouble are not only wasted, but
more harm than good may result.

The forcing crops to which liquid
manure is most beneficial are tomatoes,
cucumbers and cauliflower. With any of
these there is a danger of creating a
soft growth if liquid stimulants are ap-
plied too early. If tomatoes and cucum-
bers are allowed to nin to soft growth
in the earlier stages, the setting of the

fruit will be seriously interfered with.
The time when the liquid will do the
most good is after a good set of fruit
has been procured; besides, it is at this
time that the greatest strain is placed
on the plants; hence the necessity for
assistance by whatever stimulant can be
most readily assimilated.

Manures in liquid form, being imme-
diately available for plant food, are for
this purpose much more preferable than
solids. Solid ingredients, such as bone
manures, are best added to the soU at the
time of planting, and even then there
is always a doubt in my mind whether
the plants can sufficiently assimilate the
food properties of these to make the ap-
plication profitable, seeing that the sea-
son of growth is so short, but a few
weeks being occupied from the time the
plants are set in the soil until the crop
is harvested and the plants have to be
thrown out to give place to others. True,
in tiome cases a second crop can be put
in the same soil, but this is only the
case with one of the subjects under con-
sideration; namely, cauliflower. I con-
sider it would be a foolish procedure to
plant either tomatoes or cucumbers in
soil in which the same crop had already
been growing

My invariable stand-by for liquid is
pulverized sheep manure. In this I may
be a little old-fashioned, but I consider
that this contains all the elements neces-
sary for the purpose in hand in about
as easily assimilable a form as they can
possibly be applied. Sulphate of am-
monia and nitrate of soda are both quick
acting manures suitable for application
in liquid form, being readily soluble in
water. Usually about one ounce of either
to four gallons of water will be about
the right strength, but, as the strength
varies, it is not always possible to judge
of the exact amount necessary. The
above quantity, however, can be given
with safety, and the operator must judge
for himself after the first two or three
applications whether the strength can
safely be increased.

My method of making liquid from
pulverized sheep manure is to use about
half a bag for a large barrel of water.
After tying up the bag I put bag and
all in the barrel. All the substance of
the manure soaks through the bag, while
the sediment is held back, thus giving a
liquid that will pass readily through the
soil without danger of clogging. If the
manure is placed in the water at night,
by next morning the liquid will be strong
enough to use and may even want to be
diluted. As the plants can only take up
a limited quantity at a time, it is better
to err on the safe side and apply it weak
rather than too strong, increasing the
strength as the plants show a capacity
for taking it. No hard and fast ruFe
regarding strength can be laid down, and
only by observing the effect on the
plants can the operator tell when they
are getting enough or when they are
getting too much. About twice a week
is usually often enough to apply the
liquid, but this must be regulated ac-
cording as the plants dry out. They
should have two or three applications of
clear water between each application of
liquid manure. W. 8. Croydon.

BREEDERS TO MEET.

The American Breeders' Association
will hold its second annual meeting at the
Illinois College of Agriculture at Cham-
paign February 1 to 3. The U. S. Secre-
tary of Agriculture is president of the
association and the meeting is deemed of
such importance that the program is sent
to the press with an official note from the
Department of Agriculture. The breeding
of both plants and animals will be dis-
cussed. C. W. Ward, Queens, N. Y., is
on the program for an illustrated address
on "Carnation Breeding" and Luther
Burbank, Santa Bosa, Cal., is announced
to speak on "Heredity." H. H. Groff,
Simcoe, Ont., will discuss "Plant Im-
provement by Hybridization," and there
will be numerous addresses of a horticul-
tural or agricultural interest.

THE CHATHAM WAGON EXPRESS

The wagon express between Chatham,
N. J., and New York City has just com-
pleted its second year of constant service.
In warm weather and cold, by moonlight
and through fogs, in dark nights and
stormy ones, this wagon never fails every
evening to visit the various greenhouses
about Chatham, distributing the ' ' emp-
ties" and collecting the day's crop of
flowers.

During the wee small hours of every
night, Saturday only excepted, the wagon
with its fragrant load is traversing the
lonely country roads and the quiet streets
of Newark and Jersey City. Every morn-
ing finds it coming up the avenues of
New York, arriving at the first commis-
sion houses in Twenty-sixth street
promptly at seven o'clock. Even the
storms of the past winter have not de-
layed it; its delivery has always been
prompt and its tender goods never
touched by frost. There have been times
when, for miles, the night snows have
been untrodden and this team and wagon
has had to * * break the road. ' '

By this method the Chatham growers
are saved the expense of going to the
railroad station with their several lots
of goods. At their very doors they are
relieved of them and right there they
have the satisfaction of seeing them shel-
tered at once for the journey. And, un-
like the railroad method, they are kept
sheltered all the way to the wholesale
houses in New York. By an intelligent
use of a smaller or larger number of
lighted lanterns, these perishable goods
are kept just cool enough; but never al-
lowed to get frostbitten.

There are, of course, relays of horses
and the men who assemble the various
consiprnments from Madison and other
neighborhoods are relieved at Summit by
other men who accompany the loads
through the rest of the nignt to their
destinations. In these days of railroads
this method may appear primitive. But
railroads never start from one's house
and do .not cross ferries nor keep their
goods sheltered and carry them up city
streets to destination. This is surely an
instance where adopting again the meth-
ods of the past has proved to be pro-
gressive and up-to-date. M. H. N.

BxJFPAliO, N. Y. — ^Werick Bros., at Pine

CHICAGa

The Market.

The first fifteen days of January were
without doubt one of the dullest fort-
nights in the history of this market.
The next week saw considerable improve-
ment and by Saturday the wholesale dis-
trict had its old air of Ufe, with stock
well cleaned up. Shipping trade has
shown an increase and the city demand
is once more fair, the two combined
bringing a very satisfactory business and
the best since Christmas.

There is no decided change in the
situation with regard to Beauties. The
crops are gradually diminishing and qual-
ity nothing extra. Brides and Maids,
however, are of unexcelled quality and
there is a smaller proportion of the un-
available stock than usual. Active de-
mand has resulted in a further stiffen-
ing in the price and extra select stock
is now fetching better money than usual
at this season, with the lower grades
also making a good average. Liberties
are less abundant and the cut of Chate-
nay is lighter than at any time this
winter, although some splendid stock is
seen.

The carnation market has taken what
might almost be called a boom. Prac-
tically everything but the splits and culls
are cleaned up on receipt and the buyers
who are late in getting into the market
do not always get their orders filled in
full. Many growers are holding back for
Friday and Saturday. The stock in gen-
eral averages exceptionaUy good grade.

The receipts of violets continue heavy
and prices weak. Eomans and Paper
Whites are doing a little better than they
did. Harrisii clean out fairly well, but
callas are quite abundant. Considerable
quantities of tulips are seen, but most
are too short stemmed to be greatly
in demand. Stevia is done. There are
considerable quantities of sweet peas but
not of extra quality. Green goods have
a fairly steady sale, with adiantum good
property.

Carnation Prices.

There is a good deal of uncertainty
as to what carnations will be worth at
the end of this week. Last year McKin-
ley day cut some little figure and so
much has been said about it this year
that the growers have the idea that they
ought to get pretty good money. But
the wholesalers are not disposed to force
prices up until this very commendable
way of observing the anniversary of
Mr. McKinley's birth is a little more
firmly established. However^ supply and
demand will govern on this occasion, as
always. Good weather on Sunday is
pretty sure to see a very heavy retail
demand. "What the wholesale demand on
Friday and Saturday will be is more
or less problematical. It is sure to be
good; it may be enormous. But grow-
ers are hoarding stock and the result
is in doubt. The wise man has sent
his cut in each day and got excellent
prices.

The Winandy Matter.
There was a meeting of thirty-two
creditors of Michael Winandy at the of-
fice of Weber & Kranz on January 19, at
which $65,000 of claims were represented.
It was agreed to continue the business
under the direction of Peter Beinberg
and Henry Kranz, it being thought that
by this course enough might be realized
to meet the liabilities and possibly put
Mr. Winandy on his feet again.

Various Notes.

The George Wittbold Co. will add two
houses to its plant at Edgebrook this
spring and will plant seven 150-foot
houses to carnations and roses for next
season. They will grow Brides, Maids,
Bichmond and a few Beauties in roses,
Lady Bountiful, White Lawson, Fiancee
and either Estelle or Cardinal in carna-
tions, with some older sorts which they
already have at the city place.

E. H. Hunt is putting up To-bak-ine
Liquid in kegs to meet the needs of
the big growers. He sold Emil Buettner
a ten-gallon keg and Wietor Bros, a
twenty-gallon keg. Each keg is fitted
with a faucet, the handle of which has
a lock and vrill not turn until the lock
is released with a key which belongs
in the foreman's pocket. This is l»-
cause To-bak-ine Liquid is worth $15 a
gallon. It is pure nicotine.

The E'. Wienhoeber Co. speaks highly
of E. G. Hill's new rose, Bosalind Orr
English. Peter Reinberg has a few of
the plants on trial and Wienhoeber gets
the cut. They like the color and the
way it opens and the customers like the
way it keeps.

New York, ana Anton Bauers and John
Schackla, Deal Beach, N. J. G. H. Hale
exhibited some Primula obconica grandi-

received ninety points. William Turjier
showed some very fine carnations, Harlo-
warden, E'nchantress and Gov. Wolcott,
which scored eighty-five points. H. A.
Kettel was asked how he raised such fine
tulips at such an early date as December
15, with stems nine inches and over. He
explained that when they are boxed he
leaves them outside without any cover-
ing for about three or four weeks. Then
he puts them in a cool cellar and covers
them with about a foot of salt hay.
When he puts them in the house he
covers them with an empty box to draw
them. The society decided to hold its
annual ball on February 10. Remarks
were made by Charles Totty, Alfred Rich-

BOSTON.

The Market

Conditions show a distinct improve-
ment all around as compared with a
week ago. The weather has been clear
and bright in the main, with tempera-
tures most of the time more like April
than January. While this has increased
the output in some lines, the demand
has greatly improved and markets have
cleaned out very nicely.

Brides and Bridesmaids are scarcer
and prices considerably advanced, extra
good stock bringing as high as $20 per
hundred. Beauties and other roses are
all coming in lessened quantities. Car-
nations are moving at last week's quo-
tations and there seems to be no sur-
plus. Violets have recovered from the
slump of a week ago and sell at better
prices, singles fetching 50 to 75 cents
and doubles 50 and 60 cents per hun-
dred.

Romans and Paper Whites have sold
much better, there being a heavy de-
mand for funeral work. Tulips have
sold at $4 and yellow trumpet narcissus
at $5. Lily of the valley remains about
the same. Freesia is coming in more
plentifully. Asparagus Sprengeri is less
plentiful. Few of the small and cheap-
er bunches are now seen. Adiantum cu-
neatum fronds are also rather scarce at
present.

Various Notes.

Theodore F. Borst, consulting forest
engineer of Boston, was the lecturer at
Horticultural Hall on January 21, his
subject being "Forest Planting for
Profit," which was very fully and in-
telligently treated.

Mrs. Oliver Ames, of North Easton,
will offer special prizes for fifty blooms
of Rose Mrs. Oliver Ames at the coming
meeting of the American Rose Society
in Boston. M. H. Walsh, of Woods
Hole, also offers a special prize.

J. Newman & Sons' store was broken
into on the night of January 15 and
goods to the value of $75 stolen. While
the thief, or thieves, have not yet been
caught, suspicions point to the guilty
parties.

John O'Brien, who recently left Car-
bone's fiower store, opened a store on
his own account at 288 Boylston street
on January 23. He has engaged Miss
Wrenn as bookkeeper. A good stand
and an excellent knowledge of the busi-
nes should insure him success in his new
venture.

William A. Hastings, salesman for
Homer Bogers, of South Sudbury, has
been quite sick with diphtheria, but at
last report was somewhat improved.

The fine collection of plants belonging
to W. P. Windsor, of Fairhaven, will be
sold in a few weeks. Peter Murray has
had charge of Mr. Windsor's place for
over fifteen years and his annual exhi-
bition each February has always been at-
tended by many of the craft. Orchids
are well done here. Dendrobiums and
odontoglossums particularly so. The
plants will be sold after the annual ex-
hibition about the end of February. Mr.
Murray meditates hiring the plant and
running it on a commercial basis.

The stall holders at the new market
presented $106 to the widow of the late
James Denning, salesman for the Bud-
long Co., a few days ago.

George Solomon, for some time with
N. F. McCarthy & Co., has left the
employ of that firm.

Wellesley Rose seems to grow in pop-
ularity at the stores. Orders for plants
are coming to the Waban Conservatories
in a very satisfactory manner.

Lilacs in pots and cut are in great
favor at the stores at present.

Doyle has been displaying some nice
Acacia pubescens.

Peter Murray's new seedling carna-
tion, Windsor, has been bought by the
F. R. Pierson Co.

William Spillsbury is shipping 5,000
to 6,000 very fine Princess of Wales vio-
lets to the Park street market.

We are glad to report that J. T.
Butterworth 's condition is now much
more satisfactory.

Norton decorated for the boot and
shoe manufacturers' banquet at the
Brunswick on January 18, at which Gov-
ernor W. L. Douglas was one of the
guests of honor.

Galvin had the decorations At the Som-
erset on January 18 for the Phillips-
Metzler wedding reception. They used

The Market.

The tone was not very encouraging
the past week among the leading re-
tailers up and down town. The whole-
sale markets were greatly overstocked
and were so still on Monday. Even
first grade was in oversupply, which
is seldom the 'case, as this stock always
has first call when the market is glut-
ted, as it has been. The trade is in
hopes that these conditions will change
for the better next month and continue
80 until Lent sets in.

Social affairs with large decorations
are unknown and smaller affairs are not
numerous. There were quite a number
of deaths the past week and when one
of us was busy it was with that kind
of work. The three wholesale houses
carried considerable more stock than
the demand called for and, of course,
prices had to suffer a big cut in large
lots. Some of our large growers will
not like the looks of their statements
when they receive them by the first of
the montL It may be that the Grow-
ers' Club, which is about to organize,
and from which retailers and Wholesalers
are excluded, will try to remedy this
state of affairs.

Stock in a few lines is having some
call, especially white carnations and
roses. There are plenty of all grades
of Beauties to be had, also Maids, Me-
teors, Liberties and Perles. Brides are
in demand. Prices on small lots remain
as quoted last week. Carnations in the
colored sorts are a glut, especially in
pink and red. White, as in roses, has
the call. Good colored stock sold as low
as $1 per hundred the past week.

Romans, Paper Whites, valley, Har-
risii and callas are very abundant.
Romans have hardly any value at pres-
ent. Violets, too, are more than the
deitland can use, $3.50 to $4 per thous-
and being considered a fair price for
fresh stock. There are plenty of greens
with slow demand.

Various Notes.

J. F. Ammann, of Edwardsville, paid
us a visit the past week. Fred is an
enthusiast over the cartiation meeting
this week. He also paid a visit to

Henry Aue 's place at Lindenwood, where
some fancy carnations are grown.

C. Young & Sons Co. have issued their
spring catalogue, which is a beauty and
very attractive with colored plates.

H. J. Weber & Sons Nursery Co., at
Gardenville, St. Louis county, has
let contracts for two new houses 25x250.
These houses are for growing roses for
the local trade.

The committee which will have charge
of thecamation exhibition at the next club
meeting held a meeting Monday, and a list
of prizes was made up, $25 being set aside
for the local growers and $25 for out-
side growers. A list of these will be
sent out by the secretary next week to
all carnation growers. The committee
on constitution and by-laws will meet
this week to revise the constitution,
which is to be reported at the
next club meeting. The committee
on club house has several sites
in view for the proposed building. An
interesting report is expected at the next
meeting.

On Thursday night nineteen growers
met at Louisiana Hall for the purpose of
organizing an association to be known
as the St. Louis Plant Growing and
Flower Association. A committee was
appointed to draft a constitution and by-
laws. Your correspondent, not. being
eligible to membership, cannot give a
full account of what all transpired, but
the number who attended is correct.

In the St. Louis party who left Tues-
day night for Chicago to attend the
convention of the American Carnation
Society, there were about' fifteen, A
challenge from the Chicago Bowling
Club for a game on Wednesday night
could not be accepted, as only one or
two of the bowlers attended.

Recent visitors were R. Stern, of Phil-
adelphia; J. O'Neil, Chicago; Joseph
Rolker and A. Meyer, of New York.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

The market during the past week
showed signs of steadiness, with a firm
and upward tendency, except in the vio-
let department, which was most discour-
aging; 50 cents per hundred for specidls
seemed to be top and the ordinary goods
were cleaned up at the buyers' option.
Great quantities were disposed of as
low as $2.50 per thousand. Not very en-
couraging news for the Bhinebeck build-
ers, but they will build nevertheless.
Yale folks seem to have soured on the
violet. The big florists from New Haven
were in town Saturday cutting- and coun-
termanding orders "to beat the band."

There are not too many roses and the
best of them hold their top price well.
Quality is now superb and color perfect.
Carnations come in millions. Prices are
naturally wabbly under these conditions,
but good stock never fails to command
fair values. Orchids are quite equal to
the demand. McManus is handling some
twenty fine varieties. The shipping to
other cities grows more encouraging ev-
ery week. There is an abundance of
bulbous stock and lilacs, sweet peas and
mignonette. The latter retrogrades yearly
in popularity. Forsythia and other forc-
ing shrubs are already in evidence. The
coming of spring is foreshadowed every-
where and two long, weary months of
winter still on tap.

educated by the time Sunday arrives to
the fact that McKinley day is here.
Every wholesaler has a handsome card
announcement of the memorial. If
Brother Altick could walk through the
New York streets today he would have
ample evidence that his enthusiasm has
borne fruit. Saturday should be a great
day for carnation growers in the big
city and everywhere through the land.
That it will be, is sure by the flood of
advance orders already received by the
wholesalers.

Among the retailers there are universal
indications of satisfaction with the pres-
ent condition of trade. Everybody is
busy. Dinners, parties, balls and wed-
dings are abundant. The automobile
show drew society in thousands. The
wearing of flowers was excessive. Great
events close at hand are the Old Guard's
ball, the Arion and the Emerald, all of
which many thousands will attend. Unique
floral decorations will characterize all
these events. Hanft Bros, will, of course,
handle the Arion decorations, as they
have done for a generation.

Various Notes.

The next meeting of the club, Febru-
ary 13, will . be a record breaker. A
prominent camationist will read a paper.
There will be a grand display of all the
new carnations. The ladies will attend
in large numbers and the house commit-
tee will give them a royal welcome. It
will be Scotch night, with the assistance
of John Birnie's young ladies and much
other talent.

F. R. Pierson was in the city Satur-
day and completed arrangements with
Guttman & Weber for the control of
the new red carnation, Victory. The
daily papers will now have more to say
of "frenzied floriculture" and I have
no doubt will give "Millionaire" Pier-
son credit for having paid $25,000 at
least for his latest capture.

The outing committee of the New
York Club held its first meeting on Sat-
urday, elected officers and perfected ar-
rangements for the summer festival.
Messrs. Traendly, Bimie, Elliott,
Schenck, Schmutz, Langjahr and Shaw
were present.

The Hoboken Bowling Club has reor-
ganized with a membership of sixteen
and the new officers are: Dietz, presi-
dent; Grundmann, secretary, and Stein-
hoflf, treasurer, with John Bimie mas-
ter of ceremonies.

George Saltford has the la grippe and
Charles Millang has had a severe attack.
Wm. Ford has been fighting his old
enemy, lumbago. J. K. Allen had a hard
tussle with the demon. In fact it would
be easier to make a list of those who
have escaped.

Pneumonia caused the death of the
father of Jos. J. Levy on Friday. His
friendjB in the wholesale trade extend
their sympathy.

Mrs. Derby, of Bedford avenue, Brook-
lyn, whose husband once worked for
James Mallon, mourns the loss of her
son, who died last week.

Mrs. Richard F. Jenkins, wife of the
florist at 664 Eighth avenue, died last
week of consumption, handsome designs of
flowers being sent to the funeral by the
wholesalers, Traendly & Schenck, Ford
Bros, and John J. Perkins.

Fenrich is handling large quantities
of forsythia and some 36-inch Brides
and Maids that are eye openers.

John J. Perkins is decorating and re-
modeling his store on West Thirtieth
street, so that it looks very attractive.

Elliott & Sons are preparing for an
early season. No wonder, for half the
last week was springlike and mild enough
for gardening. These are the days "be-
tween hay and grass" but the revival
is close at hand. The bulb houses all
seem to be satisfied with the success of
their "commercial travelers," as Will-
iam Scott now calls them,, reporting a
flood of orders as the result of their can-
vass.

President Traendly was prevented by
illness from attending the Chicago con-
vention, much to his regret. The attend-
ance from the east was a scattered one,
no special route being chosen.

W. H. Johnson, who has had charge of
the greenhouses at Sing Sing prison for
some time, and a brother of the warden,
died of paralysis on Friday, aged 54.
He was born in Greenwich, Conn., and
was supervisor of Rye for some years.

A wife, son and two daughters survive
him.

January 18 the return match between
Flatbush and New York was rolled, nine
members of each team participating.
New York won with a majority of 405
pins in the two games, so that with
the exception of the little accident at
Madison, the New Yorkers still have an
unbeaten record. On January 27 they
will wipe out this little blot on their
escutcheon. From present indications
New York will send as strong a team to
Washington as has ever represented this
city at a convention. Flatbush treated
her guests, as usual, with lavish hospital-
ity. The score follows:

FROSTS IN FRANCE.

Cables frorii Paris have reported in
the past month unusual frosts in south-
ern France and in the Riviera. Great
hardship has been brought upon the
flower growers in this usually favored
region and their loss will run into a
vast sum of money, being particularly
heavy in the San Remo district. Govern-
ment aid has been necessary in some
sections.

Philadelphia, Pa. — The Board of Ap-
praisers has held that ruscns leaves should
not be assessed as manufactures of palm
but as ornamental leaves.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market

The tone of the market is much bet-
ter. There is good demand for nearly
all kinds of flowers at fair prices. The
average of quality is higher, owing to
last week's sunshine. There has been a
heavy demand for whites, due to funer-
al work, some weddings and decorations.
For these occasions the Leo Niessen Co.
sold many choice caUas, white lilacs, La
Beine tulips, freesias and white carna-
tions. Brides and Bridesmaids have been
scarce, but both Leo Niessen and S. S.
Pennock have had a fair supply of fancy
stock. Medium Beauties are also scarce.
Liberties more plentiful and very fine.
Carnations are not quite so plentiful
and in good demand. Freesias, "daffs"
and tulips are coming in more freely.
Dendrobium formosum and cypripediums
are about over. Violets are poor stock
despite fine quality. Greens are selling
well, especially Asparagus plumosus
sprays.

An Experiment.

The Review, undoubtedly the most
progressive paper of th^ day, is this
week trying an "experiment" in the
notes headed * ' In the Shops. ' ' The suc-
cess of this experiment will depend on
the hearty co-operation of the retailers
themselves. The notes will appear at
frequent intervals, provided material can
be secured. Perhaps you will think these
shop notes are of little account. Very
likely, but was your shop of much ac-
count when you started? Hardly. Then
telephone or write Phil what you are
doing. Give him a chance to do good
work.

In the Shops.

Robert Crawford, Jr., makes a point of
keeping his handsome show windows gay
with the prettiest flowers and blooming
plants. Among the latter, the place of
honor was given to some very well grown
Primula Buttercup in large pans. Mr.
Crawford does not believe in business
that increases at the rate of fifty per
cent each year, but simply says he has
been very busy.

Charles P. Poryzees is making a suc-
cess of his new place, opened last fall.
He has a theory that a stormy Saturday
and Sunday usually precede a busy Mon-
day, but that if Sunday is fair, Monday
is apt to be a dull day. This theory is
based on the idea that when the young
men can't be riding or walking in the

open air with their sweethearts they will
send them flowers as a love token.

James M. Thoirs is doing much to
elevate the taste of Camden's citizens
by giving them new ideas of floral
beauty.

Charles Fox ta.kes advantage of the
possibilities of his place of busines by
unique and tasteful floral decorations.
Many people have gained ideas of what
will do well in the house by their visits
to Mr. Fox. In a very fine wedding deco-
ration last week Easter lilies were a
prominent feature.

George Crai^ keeps his counter gay
with carnations. Some well grown daffo-
dils and freesias in pots were very at-
tractive.

Hugh Graham has been quick to real-
ize the possibilities of educating the
people, through the medium of the de-
partment stores, to love plants. Mr.
Graham has made a careful study of this
branch of the business. Through his
efforts, and those of others, a new field
is rapidly being developed.

A Philadelphian who recently returned
from abroad, says that the number and
beauty of the Paris flower shops aston-
ished him. Even in the poorer quarters
of the city these shops were found look-
ing like oases in the desert. Great
attention is paid to the windows, the
displays being arranged with exquisite
taste.

The Century Flower Shop has been
taking advantage of the fine weather to
push flowering plant sales. Good old-
fashioned geraniums in 4-inch pots were
one of their specialties.

The William Graham Co. had the deco-
rations for the Radnor Hunt Ball at
Horticultural Hall. Wild smilax was
freely used. Long American Beauties,
Liberties and scarlet carnations harmon-
ized with the scarlet coats of the hunts-
men. The eflFect was very fine.

The new Merganthaler store in Ger-
mantown has been making a window fea-
ture of 'pretty flowering plants.

• Varioo* Notes,

It is learned on good authority that
John and Harry Berger, trading as Ber-
ger Brothers, wholesale florists, at 1220
Filbert street, will next Wednesday re-
move their business to the Flower Mar-
ket, 1237 Filbert street, where they have
secured space.

John Burton has decided to tear down
and rebuild the greenhouses on the Lons-
dale property purchased last spring.
These houses have not proved satisfac-
tory and Mr. Burton is perfecting plans

to put the plant in good shape. Glass
has been purchased, the size of the place
will be increased and estimates are be-
ing prepared for the roofing material.

The contract for the new building of
M. Rice & Co. was given out on Monday.
The building will be fireproof and one
of the most complete of its kind in
America. It is to be finished the mid-
die of May, the builder being under a
heavy penaltyf |br each day 's delay.

Samuel S. I'ennock is distributing very
neatly gotten up McKinley day cards
among tiie retailers. On the right is a
picture of the martyred president, on
the left a boutonniere of a single scarlet
carnation and a couple of long-stemmed
flowers of the same color. The idea
is that the retailers will hang the
cards in their shops to stimulate interest
in the observance of McKinley day,
which falls on Sunday next.

William J. Baker is handling some nice
freesia, also fine Enchantress and Mrs.
Patten.

R. C. Hayden, who is absent on ac-
count of illness from his office at the
Philadelphia Cut Flower Co., is greatly
missed by his business friends, who hope
he will soon be about again. Manager
Muth is pleased over the improvement
in the tone of the market in general and
of the carnation market in particular.

A local florist who advertised for a
place to rent, was surprised to receive an
answer from a neighbor, who not know-
ing the advertiser's name, described his
property with unnecessary accuracy.

Harry Crawford states that the Phil-
adelphia Carnation Co. has just turned
the steam on its new stock house. They
have 50,000 cuttings in the sand. The
crops, both of carnations and mushrooms,
have been excellent.

J. William Colflesh has been sending
in some well grown freesia in 6-inch pots,
rather a rarity now.

Henry C. Woltemate's friends will be
glad to know that he is having a good
season.

Edward Reid is a man of versatile
abilities. He can not only sell flowers
well, but he can without legal aid pre-
sent his facts in a manner so clear and
forceful that even the attorney for the
other side has been known to throw up
his case without going into court.

A. Leuthy, head of the Boston flrm
that bears his name, was in this city last
week. He visited Joseph Heacock, at'
Wyncote, and Edward Drown, at Hill-
side, and was seen heading towards Riv-
erton. Mr. Leuthy reports a good Christ-
mas.

Walter M. Yates is not able to keep
up with the demand for Easter lilies,
though he has turned nearly his whole
place into these bulbs. The stock looks
well, the greatest diflffculty being in get-
ting long stems on the early blooms.

NORTH CAMBRIDGE, MASS.

Still another evidence of the tfiought-
fulness for the welfare and pleasure of
the employes of A. H. Hews & Co. and
the peculiarly family-like bond of co-
operative interest existing between em-
ployers and employed at this establish-
ment, the largest of its kind in the coun-
try, if not in the world, was shown at

the banquet and entertainment given to
the employes January 14 by Mrs. Albert
H. Hews, widow of the former owner,
in commemoration of Mr. Hews' birth-
day.

At the close of the banquet the gath-
ering was addressed by Geo. H. McKee,
president, and Philip Cabot, treasurer of
the present corporation, the latter speak-
ing directly for Mrs. Hews and ex-
pressing her deep desire to continue that
interest always maintained by Mr. Hews
in the employes, individually and col-
lectively, many of whom have been con-
tinuously in the service for over a gen-
eration and who by their competent and
faithful service in their respective posi-
tions had been of such material assis-

tance to him in building to its present
magnitude the establishment which to-
day stands as a monument to his hon-
orable dealings with all men and to his
business ability.

PITTSBURG.

TheMa^et.

We have just completed a good week's
business, everyone seemed to be busy
and several of the larger firms had all
they could handle comfortably. Good
roses have continued scarce since the hol-
iday* and have held up in price. Carna-
tions have also been somewhat scarce
this week and, while some stock sold
very cheap, the average price was better.
We are now beginning to see more
spring flowers in the stores, freesias, daf-
fodils and better tulips, all of which
found fair sale the past week. Violets
and lilac, however, are among the things
which, while the stock has improved in
quality, are lower in price. Lilies are
very scarce in this section, Harrisii prov-
ing almost a failure. While such blooms
as they do give are not worth much,
the result has been that callas find a
better sale than usual.

Various Notes.

There were quite a number from this
section at the carnation convention, but
they did not go as a party.

The rent question is getting to be
quite a serious matter among our re-
tailers, and if it gets much worse will
drive some of them to the side streets.
Anything below $4,000 is cheap now,
while most of them almost double that
amount and none of them has more than
a store room and a cellar. The whole-
salers are somewhat better off, although
to keep rents down to a living price the
Florists' Exchange and J. B. Murdoch
& Co. are compelled to rent upstairs
rooms. The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co.
fortunately made a long lease which
runs for several years. However, the
the whole block has recently been pur-
chased by a speculator and they may be
induced to move before their lease ex-
pires.

The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co., by way
of advertisment, is sending its customers
the Daniel B. Long, McKinley day, litho-
graphed card, calling attention to car-
nation.s for January 29. Hoo Hoc.

Ennis, Tex.— Chas. M. Hall report*
that business has been and is good, but
that a long continued drouth is having its
effect.

THE HOLIDAY AFTERMATH.

The aftermath of the holiday trade
generally brings out a few facts that
are worthy of note. It is significant
that many of our patrons who annually
make considerable purchases, are al-
ways on the alert for something out of
the common or possessing some original-
ity of design. How many of them have
their desires gratified it is hard to statei,
but this we know, that a good floral
basket or hamper generally catches the
eye and seldom goes begging, especially
if its contents or general make up is
not of the every-day kind. Of course,
the formal box of cut flowers will al-
ways be in vogue and probably lead in
floral oflTerings, but to create additional
trade, which we are all after, we must
get out of traditional ruts and furnish
something that will gratify the wants
of an exacting public. This want is
fully as noticeable in house decorations
for marriage and funeral occasions as
it is at holiday time and to partially
overcome this apparent deficiency I
would recommend getting back to na-
ture, whose resources are so "bountiful
and well adapted to our wants.

While entertaining ideas on this sub-
ject for some time, and having them
pressed upon my observation by the fa-
cial expression* of our patrons with far
more significant force than language
could imply, their remarks were made
suggestive by having on hand a liberal
supply of nature's products from various
sources left over from holiday trade,
which have been used since then in va-
rious floral work to good advantage.
From California we get the pepper-
scented tree with its waxy red berries.
This is becoming a commercial article.
From the mountains of Oregon comes
the Mahonia bush, in green and red
colors, beautifully formed leaves of last-
in? quality and well adapted to various
arrangements in floral work. Also com-
intr from this country is a large form
of the dagger fern, much superior to the
variety from the Berkshire hills and
from experience up to date a good
keeper. The fronds run as long as
three feet; one of the best of the aspidi-
ums. We also get from this country a
shrub sent under the name of huckle-
berry bush, resembling the cotoneaster
in branch and foliage, a good keeper and
quite decorative.

The trade is well acquainted with the
resources of the mountainous districts
of the Carolinas and other southern
ptates, as well as the woods of Alabama,
from which districts we get so many
forms of shrubs and vines which are
gradually becoming so desirable and
the extensive u.se of which will not to
any extent interfere with the use of our
greenhou>-e products. G< D.

The canner's convention will call
many seedsmen to Columbus, O., Febru-
ary 7 to 10.

In a number of sections weather condi-
tions have been unfavorable to the cor-
ing of sweet corn.

The Dutch Bulb Growers 'Association
invites all interested Americans to visit
the quinquennial exhibition at Haarlem,
March 17 to 21.

The Dutch bulb salesmen were abroad
in the land much earlier than usual this
season and it looks as though their in-
tention is to go through the country with
a fine-toothed comb.

An eastern seed house is reported to
he about to introduce a new amaryllis
raised by Luther Burbank.

With the government supplying the
demand for free seeds and the depart-
ment stores and the big general mail-
order houses catering to the "price"
buyers, it looks as though the "quality"
ft.ilBtomer will soon be the only one left
fo^ the legitimate seedsman.

J tP«OF. John T. Stimson, who was Su-
peVihitendent of Horticulture at the St.
Lioms World's Fair, is now president of
the Planter«i' Seed Co., Springfield, Mo.
F. W. Meas, secretary of the company
spent the exposition period in charge of
the Deming Company's exhibit of
sprayers.

BULB STORAGE.

The accompanying illustration shows
the new bulb storage house recently com-
pleted by Arthur Cowee, Berlin, N. Y.,
and, as the capacity is 18,000 bushels,
gives some idea of the development in
the gladiolus industry. ;Mr. Cowee has
two other storage houses, bringing his
total warehousing capacity up to 26,000
bushels.

Arthur G)wee's New House for Gladiolus Storage.

It is, indeed, an exceptional catalogue
that does not list a dozen or «o "nov-
elties" this year. May they all prove
their claims to distinction.

In addition to the many industries at
Zion City, 111., John Alexander Dowie
lias gone into the seed business, the
Horticultural Supply Department hav-
ing just issued a very neat catalogue of
thirty-two pages.

It is reported that Geo. Weston, for-
merly in charge of the poultry depart-
ment of Vaughan's Seed Store, Chicago,
has taken a position with Sears, Boe-
buck & Co. to help manage their new
seed department.

EtJGENE Funk, of Funk Bros. Seed
Co., Bloomington, 111., is chairman of the
membership committee of the American
Breeders' Association and will have a
good report to make at the meeting at
Champaign, 111., February 1 to 3.

W. H. Metson, one of the growers of
the Braslan Seed Growers' Co., has been
appointed San Francisco park commis-
sioner by Mayor Smitz. The appoint-
ment is considered a good one, as Mr.
Metson has been a commissioner of Yo-
semite park for some years past.

Preparations are being made to have
the coming annual convention of the
canners and packers at Columbus, O.,
the best ever. The seedsmen are called
upon to do their part and the canners
promise to buy seed peas without ex-
pecting a quart of wax beans as a pre-
mium.

A WELL known seed salesman explains
that the right way to get business from
the eastern buyer is to pretend that you
are on a pleasure trip and call simply
out of courtesy. A different method
succeeds best with the western buver, the
right way in his case being to wire in
advance the time your train will reach
his town and advise him that he can
hand his order into lower six of the
Pullman sleeper.

It seems hard for the average farmer
to realize that seeds have any value.
If he sends in an order for 100 pounds
of timothy seed from which the seeds-

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

January 26. 1905.

man realizes a profit of 15 cents on an
out-lay of $3.85 he feels that he is en-
titled to a good bunch of vegetable and
flower seeds in packets thrown in. The
money expended by the government for
the free distribution of seeds is certainly
educating the farmer along this line.

Henry Field, Shenandoah, la., made
a test last season of eighty-five varieties
of^eld corn. All were planted May 17.

ae heaviest yield was White Ele-
phant, but it took 105 days where eighty
days suflSced for Pride of the North,
Squaw, King Philip, Longfellow and
Old's Mammoth Flints.

The supply of seeds of Cocos Weddel-
liana seems likely to be plentiful this
season, and prices may go down rather
than advance. I have not yet tested
samples myself, but I hear they are very
good. The seeds that come a little later
on are perhaps the most reliable. March
was always considered quite early enough
to get well ripened samples, but I have
seen them very good in February. Ken-
tia seeds are also coming on the market
in large quantities. Some which appear
very fresh and plump are not suflSciently
matured, and others which are a little
too dry, if they have been well matured,
will germinate well if bandied properly.
— H. T. J. «

The week's reports from the onion
set centers are to the effect that what
sets were good at the time of storing for
winter are still in prime shape. The
weather so far this winter has not been
so seyere as it was last year; this has
been a help. It is admitted, however, by
the large operators that fewer good sets
went into winter quarters last fall than
for a number of years back. The orders
for January and February shipment tak-
en at low prices last August and Septem-
ber were not booked by the thorough-
breds. When there is scarcity of good
stock at harvest time it is a safe guess
that onion sets for spring delivery will
bring good money. All indications point
to high spring prices for all colors, with
whites about double the price of red
and yellow.

SEED TRADE AT ERFURT.

The following summary of conditions
at Erfurt, Germanv. is by the corre-
spondent of the Horticultural Trade
Journal, written at the beginning of the
New Year:

The wholesale seed season Is now well ad-
vanced, and a rerlew of how business has been
going will be of Interest. Most of the large
shipments to America. Australia and South
Africa have been made, and now the Tarlous
seed establishments are working at full pressure
to supply the demands of Great Britain and
other European countries, as well as the home
market.

So far as can be judged at present, the sale
of vegetable seeds has been quite up to the
normal, or rather above It. The leading arti-
cles, such as cauliflower, carrot, beet, turnip,
radish, parsley, tomatoes, etc.. are all in brisk
demand. Of spinach, some of the chief varie-
ties are already exhausted, large consignments
having gone to America. Beans have, as ex-
pected, in some cases run short, some of the
dwarf kinds, such as Ston House. Osborne, and
Magnum Bonnm being all but sold out. while
certain runners, such as Painted Lady, are not
to be had for love or money. Onions are going
well, some sorts, such as Zlttan, already get-
ting scarce. The germination has in some cases
given trouble, owing to a too rapid ripening of
the seed. Leeks are in good demand, and not
much is likely to be left over. The same may
be said of cucumber, many prime sorts being
already cleared out. The call for lettuce Is also
good, prices being low, but stocks are large.^
«a4 «aly Batti Cos bas ^own^ slgnT o7 giving
out as yet.

Cabbages, on the other hand, are rather
dull, especially the Drumhead sorts, and con-
siderable stocks are likely to be left on hand.
Mangel wurzels and grass seeds are also quiet.

the demand, so far, being below the averasre.

As regards flower seeds, the demand has been
about iK>rmal up to date. Among the vast
number of varieties grown here, one or the
other will naturally always be running short,
but up to the present orders have, on the whole,
been satisfactorily filled. The shortages caused
by last year's drought, however, are now be-
ginning to be felt, and orders for some sorts
of nasturtiums, such as Lilllput. also marigolds,
mammoth verbenas, etc., cannot be supplied in
full, while Brompton stocks are already nearly
sold out. As was expected, the supply of aster
seed is also giving trouble. esi>eclally in the
Victoria and Mignon sections, the stocks not
nearly sufficing for the demand, notwithstand-
ing the high prices, and customers have to be
satisfled with only a portion of their require-
ments.

The weather thus far this winter has been
far too mild to snit our seed growers, and a
recent change to sharp cold (20 degrees Pahr.)
excited hopes that the ground may thus be
made in good condition for a fresh start in the
spring.

We offer this week a special price on Asparagus Plumosus Nanus Seed, fresh from the
greenhouse. This seed is of finest quality: better, we think, than can be had elsewhere. It is
all absolutely fresh that we guarantee, and far superior to old or outdoor grown seed
because it will all germinate quickly.

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION Of NURSERYMEN.

Pres.. B. "W. Klrkpatrlcb, McElnney, Tex.;

Geo. O. Searer, Rochester; Treas., O. L. Tates.
Rochester. The 29th annual convenUon will be
held at West Baden, Ind., June, 1905.

W. W. Hammond, nurseryman for
thirty-five years at Bement, 111., died of
apoplexy January 15.

Large importations of roses from Hol-
land are in a measure supplying the
shortage on many kinds.

It looks as though the wholesale grow-
ers of fruit trees would clean up next
spring better than for several years.

A Mr. Gilbert has bought 200 acres
of land near Mason City, la., and an-
nounces his intention of starting a nur-
sery.

E. F. Stephens, the well-known nur-
seryman of Crete, savs western Nebraska
is on the verge of a horticultural awak-
ening.

T. V. MuNSON, Denison, Tex., will dis-
cuss "Breeding Grapes" and F. E.
Beatty, Three Rivers, Mich,, will tell of
"Improvement of the Strawberry by Se-
lection" at the meeting of the American
Breeders' Association at Champaign, 111.,
February 1 to 3.

The newly elected officers of the Ne-
braska State Horticultural Society are:
President, G. S. Christy, Johnson; first
vice-president, C. S. Harrison, York;
second vice-president, E. M. Pollard,
Nehawka; secretary, L. M. Bussel, Lin-
coln; treasurer, Peter Youngers, Geneva.

Thomas Knight, in commenting on
the recent note on propagating Kalmia
latifolia says that at Antwerp, Belgium,
he has seen very fine stock propagated
from layers. He says that there this is
undoubtedly the best way of propagating
this shrub but that the sandy soil which
covers the northwestern part of Belgium
is particularly suited for the purpose.

PARK SUPERINTENDENTS.

The executive committee of the Amer-
ican Association of Park Superintend-
ents met in Springfield, Mass., January
18. It was decided that the next con-
vention of the association shall be held
in Buffalo June 28 to 30, and Messrs.
J. F, Cowell, Buffalo; J. W. Duncan,
Boston, and W. S. Egerton, Albany,
were appointed a committee of arrange-
ments. It is probable that arrange-
ments will be made to visit Niagara
Falls and Rochester at the same time.
It was to be regretted that owing to
sickness some of the active members of
the committee were unable to be present.
These included Robert Cameron, W. F.
Gale and J. H. Hemingway. Several
recommendations' for changes in the by-
laws were made and a committee was
appointed to arrange for the publication
of the bulletins of the association. Those
attending the meeting were: Gustav
Amhryn, New Haven, Conn.; J. W. Ihin-
can and J. A. Pettigrew, Boston; Byron
Worthen, Manchester, N. H.; J. F.
Cowell, Buffalo; C. E. Keith, Bridge-

SAVE THE TEAMING CHARGES.

That the recent enormous development
of the florists' business was wholly un-
foreseen by those who had profited most by
it is clearly shown by the locations of the
principal plants. Up and down the coun-
try, not one in a dozen of the pioneers
had the foresight to put the boiler shed
beside the railroad track. Most of the'
new plants have side track facilities, but
in the old days the quantities of fuel re-
quired were not so great as to make the
cost of cartage a matter of importance.
Nowadays, however, the possession of a
sidetrack constitutes an enormous advan-
tage; in a bad year it might almost
make the difference between profit and
loss. One grower recently stated that
it cost him $1,000 a year to haul his coal,
and there are dozens who spend several
times this sum. Bassett & Washburn's
big plant is a mile from the rails, and
Peter Beinberg last season hauled 7,000
tons of coal about a quarter of a mile.
Poehlmann Bros. Co., at Morton Grove,
TIL, paid the railroad over $2,000 to get
a switch built to their boiler shed, but
they will get the money back by the
saving in cartage in a single winter.

Montreal, Que. — The Gardoners' and
Florists' Club proposes to hold a carna-
tion exhibition early in the next month.
The club is in a most flourisuiLg condi-
tion and making active preparations for
entertaining the Canadian HoTTiculiural
Association, which meets hero oext Sep-
tember.

Columbus, O. — The Columbus florists
spent a very pleasant evening January
17, at their smoker, which was a great
success. There was plenty of music,
furnished by members, and recitations in
German and colored dialect. Business
cares were forgotten for the time being
and everybody had a fine time and all
hoped to have another such meeting in
the near future.

The Market

Trade revived considerably during the
past week and with it we notice a short-
ening in the supply of roses. Carna-
tions are still coming in quite freely, while
all kinds of bulb stock is becoming
plentiful. We regret to note that tulips
and daffodils are being sold at cut rate
prices by our department stores so early
in the season and it certainly looks bad
for the grower who will force tulips at
this season of the year and sell them
80 that they can be retailed at 15 to
18 cents per dozen. We notice a good
demand for Enchantress, Lawson and
good red. We also notice less complaint
on the keeping quality of Enchantress
this year thus far, or in fact this might
be said of all varieties, but especially
Enchantress which many thought last
year was going to be a very poor keeper.

Various Notes.

Among the notable events of the past
week we might mention the social even-
ing given by the oflScers of the Toronto
Gardeners' and Florists' Club to the
members and their wives. The affair
was very enjoyable.

W. C. Jay, of Wm. Jay & Son, was

Florists' Association Meets.

The State Florists' Association of In-
diana held its annual meeting at the
Commercial Club, January 17, and later
in the day gave a show of carnations
at the State House. The organization
will give its support to the show to be
held next fall, in Indianapolis, by the
Indiana Floral Festival Association. The
following officers were elected: Presi-
dent, Fred Lemon, Richmond; vice-presi-
dent, Herman Junge, Indianapolis; sec-
ond vice-president, John Rieman, In-
dianapolis; secretary, Fred Hukreide,
Indianapolis; treasurer, John Heiden-
reich, Indianapolis. Executive com-
mittee, J. K Haugh, Anderson; Gun-

nar Teilmann, Marion ; J. A. Evans,

Baur, Indianapolis.

It was reported that the experiment
station at Purdue University may be
forced to close from lack of funds. A
committee of florists was named to in-
vestigate the report, and, if it is found
to be true, the state association will
ask the legislature to give financial aid
to the station.

The Bertermann Bros. Co. was award-
ed a certificate of merit for a new seed-
ling carnation.

The Market

Bright, warm weather the past week
has started things going again. There
is a large amount of stock to choose
from. Roses, carnations, sweet peas,
violets and lilac are plentiful and of
•choice quality. Tulips and other bul-
bous stock are coming in and are selling
well. Prices are about the same. There
is very little sale for anything but choice
stock. The implement dealers having
left, the lumber dealers have come,
thereby giving us more work. Collec-
tions are easier this year than for a
oumber of years. Good prices are asked
and cheerfully paid for good stuff, while
poor stuff is either given away or thrown
■on the trash pile.

Various Notes.

W. H. Humfeld, who has been con-
fined to his home by sickness, is able to
be at his greenhouses again.
_ The foreign bulb growers' representa-
tives have been among the growers here
this week, one following the other in
quick succession.

The Alpha Floral Co. is doing an im-
mense business lately. Their store is al-
ways full and it is rumored that they
intend to move shortly into a much
Jarger place.

Simon Humfeld, of Muncie, Ind., has
been visiting relatives here and inciden-
tally looking up a location, with the
view of establishing a wholesale plant
in this vicinity. Mr. Humfeld expressed
liimself as well pleased with the outlook
here and claims to have fallen in love
■with our Missouri climate and people.

Miss J. E. Murray reports business
as brisk the past week and has had some
large funeral orders.

W. L. Rock filled an order for fun-
eral work from our neighboring city,
Leavenworth, last week, which footed up
a couple of hundred dollars.

Miss Dalley reports business better
than a week ago, collections good and
the outlook encouraging.

Geo. M. Kellogg, of Pleasant HiU, is
sending in some fine stock these days,
principally roses, and has some very fine
cyclamens on exhibition at his store
here.

James Biggam is going among his

ThcWcckly Florists' Review.

January 26. l:»05.

PLANTS FOR MOIST SITUATION.

In the center of a lake covering about
two acres we have just built a plank
box 10x12 and four feet high, filled with
soil in which we intend to plant calad-
iums and oannas for the center, with
salvias or geraniums, for the body. The
boards comprising the sides of the box
extend from four to six inches above the
surface of the \vater. These boards we
desire to hide, covering with vines or
running plants, which I presume neces-
sarily would float in the water to some
extent.. Kindly tell me what would be
desirable for this border. M. J. S.

If the surface of the soil is only four
to six inches above the water we would
not recommend the use of geraniums or
salvias in the bed. One or two castor-oil
plants might be used in the center;
probably one good plant would suffice.
Then pome tall growing cannas, with
some of the lower growing ones in front.
If the caladiums are planted as a bor-
dering their leaves would hang over and
soon obscure the plank edging. Small
flowering creepers could be used to form
an edging, but such a bed calls for large
leaved and bold, plants. We would not
advise the use of any email subjects.
Some of the taller eulalias or other or-
namental grasses would be very effec-
tive in such a bed. W. N. C.

New York, N. Y.— At the New York
Botanical Gardens a new greenhouse,
30x208 will be built.

Tbe Market

We have been treated wiili consider-
able rainy weather during the past week,
which I find is not conducive to an in-
crease in business. Everything in the
flower line is plentiful enough to supply
the demand, which is very limited at
present. The growers are not cutting .
much stock and there is little call for
anything except good roses. Beauties
are selling wholesale at from $1 to $2.50
per dozen and Brides and Maids at from
35 to 75 cents per do2en. The weather
has been so unfavorable that Liberties
are not much in evidence and those that
are cut are poor of stem and generally
oflf color. Carnations are selling at about
the same figure as last reported. En-
chantress and Prosperity cost the stores
50 cents per dozen. We have had several
large consignments of outdoor poinsettiaa
from Lios Angeles that sold wholesale at
from $8 to $12 per hundred. Valley and
Eoman hyacinths are plentiful. Freesias
and daffodils are coming in slowly andj
narcissi are getting scarcer." Orchids are
in good demand; so is Lilium Harrisii.
Mums are holding out remarkably well,
owing to our mild winter, and violets are
still a drug. ' A few Marie Louise are
seen but they are not yet at their best-
Various Notes.

The Shanahan Floral Co. is making a,
splendid display of ferns, azaleas, lilacs
and bulbous stock in its Powell street
store. It attracts considerable attention
from the passers by.

D. Raymond, of San Jose, is introduc-
ing a new flower pot of his own manu-
facture, that is superior to anything
made in this vicinity. It has found a
ready sale with the growers here.

Bichmond & Mills, of Fullerton, have
shipped a carload of young orange trees
to the local dealers.

The following unique advertisement is
displayed in our daily papers by one of
San Francisco 's well known florists :

ROBBERY!
Any one asking more than fifty cents per
dozen for Estelle. Crocker. Roos«velt. Schwer-
in or Hill carnations, or more than one dollar
per dozen for Prosperity, Enchantress or any
other Carnation, commits petty larceny. For

SOIL DETERIORATION.^

Because of their fear that the soil
composing the peat beds in several parts
of California, devoted to the raising of
seeds and vegetables, is deteriorating at
an alarming rate, growers have sent sam-
ples of the soil to the horticultural de-
partment of the State University at Ber-
keley for examination and analysis in
the hope that remedies may be suggested
for the salvation of this most important
industry.

Professor Longbridge has received sev-
eral samples of soil sent to the depart-
ment bv C. W. Cole, of Santa Ana, and
also from a dozen other growers. The
problem involved in the analysis especial-
ly of the soil devoted to the growing of
celery is so delicate and difficult that
Prof. Longbridge is loath to discuss it
in advance of his tests, to be made at

once. He believes, however, that the
trouble with the soil in the peat dis-
tricts is due to the presence of too much
lime. This preponderance is likely to
prove ereatly injurious to the celery
crop, afFecting both its quality and vol-
ume.

Millions of doll£irs are riepresented in
the output of the vegetable and seed
growers, and with so much at ?take, the
proceedings of the chemistry branch of
the University's agricultural department
are being awaited by the men most in-
terested with unusual concern.

The land in the peat beds of the south
is different in formation, soil chemists
say, from that of any other in the coun-
try. It was originally a great swamp,
boggy and apparently worthless, covering
a territory in Orange county that includes
many thousand acres. A few years ago a
practical vegetable grower from New
.Jersey saw the land in question, decided
it was good for celery growing and pur-
chased a large tract for a song. His
success was immediate and there was at
once a boom in the territory. Vegetable
and seed growing became a great indus-
try and the owners of the land became
wealthy. The output of celery especially
grew iintil hundreds of car loads were j

CEMENT WALLS.
T^ are thinking of building cement
■n next season. Will you please tell
Y a« something about them? K. B.

,/ Havme tried walls of cement, I do not

'?J0' them in the least, because they
absorb too much moisture, which causes
the frost to follow clear through the
wall. If these are built double with a
center air space, this of course will be
obviated m a , great, measure but the ex*
pense will be considerably augmented.

The cost of such walls depends a great
deal on local conditions. If the material
such as sand, gravel, etc., can be had
with small cost of hauiing, etc., the ex-
pense will be confined to the price of
cement and labor, but even at the very
lowest cost possible they cannot compare
for greenhouse purposes with a well built
board wall, finished with well matched
siding. B.

PIPING REQUIRED. -

How much 3-inch pipe will it take to
heat a house 20x100 with hot water to
keep a night temperature of 65 to 70 de-
grees! S. & Y.

Houses 20x100 will require 700 feet of
3-inch pipe to provide the necessary radi-
ation to maintain the temperature de-
sired with hot water at 180 degrees. Un-
less you have some soecial reason for us-
ing 3-inch pipe you will find it much
more expensive than 2-inch to install.
The amount of 2-inch pipe necessary to
do the same work is 1,040 feet. If the 3-
inch pipe costs 20 cents and the 2-inch
10 cents the 700 feet of 3-inch wiU cost
$140 while the 1,040 feet of 2-inch will
only cost $104 or $36 saving on each
house. You may be able to better these
prices and thereby increase your saving.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

January 26. 1905.

DRAUGHT OF FLUE.

I have a house 12x50 heated by a flue
running around the house with thirty
inches rise. The first twenty-five feet
of the flue is brick, the rest 8-inch tile.
The chimney is 8-inch tile and sixteen
feet high. It draws very poorly. Can
you tell me how to improve it?

T. r.

I see no reason for laxjk of draught in
your flue. It is to be remembered, how-
ever, that 120 feet or more is a long
chimney and that naturally the draught
will be slow. If the same flue stood on
end the draught would be much better.
It may be that there are trees or build-
ings near by which cut off the draught
on the upright portion of your chimney,
if so it will be necessary to increase the
height of the upright portion. The kind
of fuel used will also influence the
draught. It takes a larger flue and a
stronger draught for wood or soft coal
than for hard coal. The grate area may
also be too large for the flue, in, which
ease the draught will be bad. As the con-
ditions and measurements are not stated
more definite information 'cannot be
given. L. C. C.

HEATING.

Will a Weathered No. 6 boiler heat a
greenhouse 20x50 and one 18x50 to 56
degrees when it is 15 degrees below zero
outside? What size of flow pipes and
what number of 2-ineh returns will be
requiredt There is a high, solid bed on
the east side and another low one in the
center with a bench on the west side;
shed at the north end and door at the
Bouth. H. W. M.

If you provide a 2-inch riser and five
2-inch returns for each of the two coils,
one on the wall over the solid bench on
the high side and one under the bench
on the low side, you will get sufficient
radiation to maintain the temperature
mentioned, provided the boiler is capable
of maintaining the water at 180 degrees.
The dimensions of the two houses are so
near alike that the same amount of
piping will be satisfactory in either.

bloomlnK December 20. continuing to middle of January: color, salmon pink; large and full;
strong grower, three to four feet, foliage dark green leaves, well up to bloom, and a good

RADIATION REQUIRED.

We have the following houses: One
house is 18x50, eleven feet to ridge, two
feet glass in wall, temperature required,
55 degrees; one house 18x50, eleven feet
to ridge, temperature required, 60 de-
grees ; one house 9x75, nine feet to ridge,
two feet glass in wall, temperature re-
quired 50 degrees; one house 30x75, fif-
teen feet to ridge, temperature required,
55 degrees; one house 22x75, twelve and
one-half feet to ridge, two feet glass in
wall, temperature required, 60 degrees.
How many 1%-inch pipes will it take
to keep these temperatures when it is 12
degrees below zero outside? F. B.

Each of the houses 18x50 feet should
be provided with eleven runs of 1^4-
ineh pipe. The house 9x75 feet needs
six lines of 1^4 -inch pipe. The house
30x75 feet will require nineteen runs of
1^-inch pipe, and the house 22x75 feet,
fifteen runs. If overhead flow pipes are
used the houses 18x50 and 9x75 should
each be provided with a 2-inch riser,
while the houses 30x75 and 22x75 will
each require a 2% -inch riser. Steam
systems are frequently installed without
overhead flow pipes, but where the out-
side temperature is liable to go very low,
10 to 20 degrees below zero, or where
there is only glight difference between
the level of the water line in the boilers
and the returns, the overhead flow pipes
are a decided advantage. L. C. C.

Better get a stock of our INDIANA. MARKET. It does not burst. It
always has a beautiful round form, aud it is the freest blooming white we have
to-day. A fine bloomer both winter and summer. Strong clove scent.

BEATRICE is easily the freest and most pr )fitable light pink carnation on
the market. Long stronsr stems, no burst calyx, and a fine color. Just what you
want in large quantity for moderate-priced blooms for your every-day trade.

VARIOUS PLANTS.

Will you kindly tell me the best vari-
ety of spirsea to grow in order to ob-
tain good results, also the best variety
of maidenhair fern? I grow the Adian-
tum Croweanum. Is it best to grow re<l
plumbago in pots? I grow it in solid
beds. Also kindly tell when to cut it
back and have it in bloom for the holi-
days. By answering these questions you
Avill greatly oblige M. J. G.

The best varieties of spiraea for gen-
eral forcing purposes are Astilbe Japon-
ica floribunda and A. compacta. For
extra fine specimens in pots the variety
Gladstone is unsurpassed.

Adiantum cuneatum is still one of
the best for general purposes. A. Crow-
eanum is stronger in growth and can be
grown with success under the same con-
dition as A. cuneatum.

Plumbagos should be pruned hard back
as soon as the blooming season is past
and should then have a partial rest for
at least two months. P. rosea, being a
winter bloomer, can be rested after Eas-
ter and in order to have a full crop at
holiday time they should be started not
later than August. R.

VARIATION IN SMILAX.

I enclose a spray of smilax that is
different from any we have seen and
■would like to know if it is a new va-
riety or sport, also its conmiercial value!

C M. M.

The specimen in question was quite
dry and shriveled when received, but
appears to be another instance of seed-
ling variation in this plant. It is simply
a narrow-leaved form of the ordinary
smilax and either the same form or one
very much like it has been seen several
times before. Its commercial value is
doubtful from the fact that it would
probably make too light a string to
suit the average florist.

For nearly half a century we have been makingr a specialty of SOUBlbB PBTWZA8 and our
strain is accepted as second to none, either here or in Europe. We annually plant many thousand
seedlings from which only the finest double fringed forms are selected for propagating purposes, thus
improving the strain every season, and this year's collection is the brightest and most pleasing one
we have yet sent out. We offer 15 distinct varieties.

2%-incb pots, 60c per doz.; 94.00 per 100: the set of 15 for 75c.

S-lnch pots, 75c per doz.; 96.00 per 100; the set of 15 for 91.00.

THEY KILL BIGS

TOBAKINE

The great popularity of TO-BXK-INE FUMIGATING PAPER,
TO-BAK-INE LIQUID and TO-BAK-INE FUMIGATING POWDER
has resulted In a call for a Fourth Product described below:

"W^X. rh A ■/ ■^ir- rvB ir>~n^l^> rk^vrnm/rwrk This is for Sprinkling or Dusting Purposes
I U-BAK-INL ULIo I INO POWDLK o°Iya««JwiU not bum br fumigation. This

DUSTING POWDER differs from any

•— ^— — ^------■^-— — --— — ^^— ^----^— -— -— --^■^^— ^— — other on the market in being FREE FROM

ANY TOBACCO OR TOBACCO ODOR and in ALVAYS CONTAINING A DEFINITE AMOUNT of FREE PURE
NICOTINE, which is added to a specially prepared powder. The nicotine being in a free form* is gradually given off, killing
all insects on flowers, plants and vegetables, leaving a perfectly ODORLESS POWDER OR RESIDUE, which b readily shaken
or washed off, and SHOULD any remain it will NOT DECAY or ROT, thus differing from tobacco dust, etc The advantage of
this Powder should strongly appeal to Greenhouse Vegetable Growers, whose products must be free from foreign or objectionable tastes.

Death of Dan Newsham.

Dan Newsham was, except possibly for
Harry Papworth and U. J. Virgin, the
best known member of the craft in New
Orleans. He was born in England in
1870 and died of appendicitis at Touro
Infirmary on January 15, 1905. In the
short span of his life he crowded a wide
horticultural experience. Coming to
America at the age of 15 years, he first
located at St. Ix)uis but had lived in
New Orleans since 1891. He was in
charge of the private places of Frank
Bryan and Mrs. W. W. Gordon and the
past season had charge of Louisiana's
large horticultural exhibit at the World 's
Pair, irhence he had just returned. He
was to have gone into business with his
brother, J. A. Newsham, and the Stock-
ier Seed Co. Mr. Newsham was for years
secretary of the New Orleans Horticul-
tural Society. He was buried at the
beautiful Metairie cemetery, Eichard P.
Steekler, C. B. Panter, Geo. Thomas, Geo.
'Kmnun, H. Boensel and U. J. Virgin
acting as pallbearers.

CAPAQTY OF BOILER.

r have a horizontal tubular boiler
eight feet long and three feet in diame-
ter, with thirty-six 3-inch flues. I am
heating three houses with hot water, two
houses 10x60 and one house 16x60 and
ten feet to the ridge. Will the same
boiler heat another house 16x75 and nine
feet to the ridge and maintain 56 degrees
on the coldest nigntsf The houses are
attached, run east and west, with shed at
the west end and glass in the east end
of the wide houses. V. H. T.

You will be perfectly safe in de-
pending upon your present boiler to sup-
ply heat for an additional house 16x75.
Your boiler has a capacity capable of
supplying 2,400 square feet of radiation
at 56 degrees. Your present houses, to
maintain this temperature, require only
941 sauare feet of radiation and the
additional house 16x75, built in a bank
with other houses with only one side and
one end exposed, will reouire 466 feet of

'ii'ition; i. e., 466 feet of 4-inch pipe
to heat it. Your total radiation will
then only be 1,307 feet and your boiler
has a capacity of 2,400, or enough to
carry the new house and as much more
as you already have, provided it has good
draft and first class fuel is used.

TO REMOVE ASPHALTUM.

We note the trouble one of your corre-*
spondents has had from asphaltum on his
heating pipes and the difficulty he has
met with in getting the asphaltum off.
If he will try Watson's Faultless Paint
and Varnish Remover, made by the Geo.
E. Watson Co., 108 Lake street, Chicago;
it will remove the asphaltum from the
pipes. We discovered this after having
lost a crop of roses. We, too, had tried
the torch, sand paper, steaming the pipes
and numerous other things. We know
this will do the work. Three cans will
suffice for a house 18x52. P. G.

The inquiry of C. J. E. regarding the
removal of asphaltum from the pipes of
his greenhouses is rather a difficult ques-
tion to answer. The paint often con-
tains creosote and produces, when heated
on the pipes, a gas having the properties
of an acid. In my experience the most
satisfactory method is the application
of a strong solution of caustic soda (Na
OH). A mixture of one part of caustic
soda to ten of water applied by means
of a spraying apparatus gave good re.
suits. The use of any acid or volatile
substance like ammonia is out of the
question because it not only affects the
plants but it would be a very difficult
task for a person to withstand the fumes
which would result during the applica-
tion.

After the liquid has been sprayed
upon the pipes, it is allowed to remain
*' - fi day or so, and then can be washed
off with water and a scrubbing brush.
During the washing a large quantity of
the paint will be removed. The applica-
tion of the liquid can be repeated if nec-
essary, washing with water after each
application.

The caustic soda used is known as
"Caustic soda 98 per cent." That pur-
chased bv me was from tne Troy Laundry
Machinery Co., Chicago. The cost
of the substance is about 6 cents per
pound and it is put up in ten pound
cans. The substance in the cans is in
a fine condition and readily dissolves in
water. Care should be taken in using
this substance not to pet any of t^B*
solid or liquid on any part of the body.
If anv of the substance comes in con-
tart with the body it should be washed
off with water at once and vinegar ap-
plied to counteract the action of the sub-
stance. J. B. Weems,

MOLD ON POTS.

The pots in my house rather quidcly
become covered on the sides and to some
esrtient in the earth surface, with a
green mold and when handled have a
slimy feeling. Is it detrimental and if
BO what is the cause? M. J. S.

We read from time to time of various
inventions which are destined to keep
pots clean in greenhouses. So far, how-
ever, we find a cloth and a scrubbing
brush the only safe agencies. Nothing
detracts so much from the appearance
of plants as dirty pots, nor will plants
kept in such pots thrive so well as in
clean ones. Keep the pots clean by all
means. Use some sand if the dirt is
hard to move. Moist, shaded houses,
where, little ventilation is used and
plants are frequently syringed, are most
productive of slimy plants. Keep the
surfaces of the pots stirred whenever
any green mold appears, using a pointed
stick for the purpose and removing said
Ofiaterial. Nothing is worse for plants
than to allow the surface to get into
this condition. W. N. C.

BEGONIA FOR NAME.

I will be very greatly obliged if you
- will advise me as to the names, botan-
ical and common, of the begonia of
which I enclose leaf and bloom.

M. J. S.

The leaf of begonia enclosed appears
to be that of Begonia incarnata; while
the flowers had lost all their color, we
should say they were of that variety.
Next to Begonia Gloire de Lorraine thisV
is the beet of our pink winter-flowering
begonias. W. N. C.

CAPAQTY OF BOILER.

What is the heating ability of a boiler
ten feet long and three feet in diam-
ter, with thirty-two 3-inch tubes? With
4-inch cast-iron pipe how many houses
15x50 and ten feet to the ridge can it
heat to 60 degrees when it is TO degrees
below zero? Which is the better system
for hot water, up-hill or downt C. S.

Your boiler has a capacity that will al-
low you to place about 586 square feet of
radiation upon it. If the piping is well
arranged and the boiler is forced a little
during cold weather it should heat two
houses 15x50 and ten feet high piped
with 4-inch cast-iron pipe. This will al-
low 250 feet of 4-inch pipe to each house,
which would be equivalent to five runs
of pipe in each house.

In regard to the slope of the pipes,
there is a diversity of opinion. Some
prefer an up-hill while others a down-
hSU system. My personal preference
has always been for the up-hill plan, as
the water can be heated to a somewhat
higher temperature under this plan than
when the down-hill system is used.

SIZE OF PIPE.

Please let us know if ^^inch and 2-
inch pipe can be used for steam heating.
We now have hot water under pressure
but, as we cannot get the required tem-
perature, we would Uke to change it to
steam, if possible, with the same pipes.
Of course, we will have to get another
boiler. The one we have now is a coil
boiler, a regular coal eater. "We intend
to rebuild next spring, two houses 18x60,
and change the system also.

J. J. V.

While 4-inch pipe is only used in
steam heating as a main or flow pipe in
large establishments, there is, so far as
I know, no decided objection to its use
for other purposes. If the 4-inch pipe
which you have is cast-iron pipe it can-
not be used for steam heating, as the
joints cannot be made to stand the ex-
pansion and contraction of this form of
heating as usually arranged. If the pipe
is wrought iron, threaded, it will be sat-
isfactory for use with steam.

The reason that large pipes are not
more frequently used for radiating pur-
poses in greenhouse heating is that the
cost per unit of radiation in large pipe
is much greater than in i small. A 4-inch
pipe gives 1.17 square feet of radiation
for each foot of length, while 1^4 -inch
pipe gives .49 of one square foot for
each foot of length. The 4-inch, there-
fore, gives only about two and one-half
times as much radiation per running foot
as does the lV4-inch pipe, yet tbe 4-inch
costs about five times as much per foot.
Badiation in 4-inch pipe would, there-
fore, cost about twice as much as in
1^4 -inch pipe. Not only that, but the
labor and expense of installing the small
pipe is only a fraction of what it is
with the large.

If you have a quantity of 4-inch pipe
it would be economy to dispose of it and
buy 1*4 -inch pipe if anything like its
value can be obtained. The . same re-
marks apply to the 2-inch pipe, but to a
less degree. In a plant the size of - the
one mentioned heated with steam there
should be no occasion to use 4-inch pipe;
2-inch will be ample for all mains.

Please discontinue my advertise*
ment of geraniums, as the plants are all
sold; am highly pleased with results. — ^A.

The Fuchsia.

We often see sad failure made of
that easily grown old favorite, the
fuchsia, and the reason is because jou
have poor stock to propagate from. The
fuchsia can be classed as shrubby and
is a shrub or dwarf tree where it is
hardy, yet in our greenhouses we treat
it as a soft-wooded plant or succulent.
If you don't have well ripened wood to
produce your cuttings in winter time you
had better not attempt propagating.
That is why I introduce it as a " season-
able hint." If you have produced only
small, scrubby, iU-shaped plants, throw
them out and get two or three plants
each of half a dozen of the most desira-
ble varieties. Plants propagated early
in December are what you want and
these should now be in 3-inch pots. Keep
them growing. For this purpose stop-
ping or pinching is not desirable, as you
want the largest plant and earliest ripened
wood.

If grown on vigorously these early
propagated plants will show no inclina-
tion to dower until May and by that
time you will have plants three feet
high. Plunged outdoors during summer
the wood will be matured by September.
Six weeks' rest in a very cool house or
even beneath a bench, with only water
enough to keep the wood froih shriveling,
«nd then shortened back to strong
growths and started in good brisk heat
will give you cuttings that will grow
and make nice plants before wanting to
flower. Now is the time to put away
your dozen plants for next winter's
propagation.

Some Good Old Sorts.

Many years ago we used to grow old
Elm City, a double red. We propagated
in November and the following April
sold them wholesale for $1.50 each. What
they retailed for we don't know. Two
old varieties, Black Prince, single car-
mine, and Avalanche, a grand double,
can be easily grown and make fine shape-
ly plants. I rather think of late that
the fuchsia specialists have produced a
marvelous blossom with rather a weak
plant and the singles are equally beauti-
ful, with the doubles, only a little more
«o. To realize what a grand flowering
plant the fuchsia really is yon should
visit the Isle of Wight, off the south
coast of England, or California.

Spiraeas.

We have received several inquiries
about starting this rather cheap and ex-
tremely hardy herbaceous plant. Early
February is time enough to get them in.
They can stand beneath a bench for
three weeks or until the foliage starts
giowth. Don't forget that 100 or 200
of these plants are extremely useful at
Decoration day, either as a plant to be
taken to the cemetery or for cut flow-
ers. For that purpose you can, of course,
leave the roots frozen up until early
April and start them in a cold frame;

2^nal Geraniums.

There never yet were too many good
zonal geraniums during May and June,
that is, if they were in flower. Shifting
from 2-inch to 3-inch was finished about
January 10 and now, if they are active
at the root, is the time to take a cutting
from the top of these plants, providing
the growth will admit of it. These cut-
tings put in now make good bedding
plants and the 3-inch plant will brei^
and make a good early flowering plant
in a 4-inch pot later on. Don't murder
a plant for the sake of a cutting. If
not strong enough to give you a decent
cutting just nip only the last joint
made and let it go.

It seems too simple a thing to write
about, yet you occasionally see these
geraniums treated to a warm, close, poor-
ly lighted house. Pot firmly at all
times, using a fresh, heavy loam, with
very little manure of any kind, except
the last shift into 4-inch pots in April,
when we use bone meal, which is more

Lobelia Spedosa*

Don't forget to put in all the good
cuttings you Can get of Lobelia speciosa
if you are in the veranda box or vase
business. Seedlings are of no use for
this purpose and lobelias are useless as v
bedding plants. If a plant in a vase
gives up in August there are others to
fill up, for they are always crowded,
but planted in a row in a flower bed
they won't be anything but a foliage
plant during August and September.

Sweet Alyssum.

The double sweet alyssum should also
be propagated now. It's another little
plant indispensable for vases, etc. Please
don't think that I mean all your crop
should be rooted now, because cuttings
in March are perhaps better, but you
don 't usually carry . stock enough of
these to put in thousands at once and
those you propagate now will give you
cuttings later on.

Begonias.

There is a splendid flowering begonia
of which we are not sure if we have the
correct name, but we will call it Be-
gonia incarnata grandiflora. It is of
stouter growth and much larger and
brighter in flower than the old B.-in-
carnata. The advent of the gay Lor-
raine has driven this and some other
species and varieties out of mind. This
particular variety should not be neglect-

V. N. Rudd's Pink Carnation, Lady Margaret

conducive to flower than foliage. Give
the fullest light and air on all occa-
sions and never over 45 degrees at night.
And one more item, let them dry before
you water them. The zonal geranium
is very much of a succulent and in the
dark months wants little water and even
in summer many a bed of geraniums is
simply spoiled by the careless use of the
hose, or by ignorance of the needs of the
plant.-

ed, for it is a desirable florists' plant.
If you have no stock of it, buy a few
old strong plants that are free of dis-
ease. A rust is its enemy. You can
propagate it now from the flower shoots,
but it is better done later. Its flowering
season is from early December to Feb-
ruary. When out of flower almost any
part of the plant will root, but when cut
down about one-half its height it makes
lots of cuttings, which root readily in

5^

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

Fbbbuabt 2, 1905.

April and May. Light and plenty of
ventilation and never too much watering
will easily keep the rust away. Some
growers even plunge it outside in August
and September to produce a stout, ro-
bust growth. It always flowers at just
the right season. Ten years ago we con-
sidered this one of the most important
Christmas plants and shall grow it again
because it will sell and is very useful
for cutting.

Mignonette*
Don't neglect your mignonette bench.
I hope you cut a fine crop at the holiday

season. Keep the surface of the bed
clean and a sprinkling of bone meal
will help if it is on a shallow bench.
Above all, keep it tied up if you expect
another crop of fine spikes. If allowed
to fall about on the bench the stems
will be crooked, which will spoil their
value. Besides the fine spikes you sell
by the dozen you get, later in the sea-
son, a lot of smaller spikes and there is
nothing our customers like so well, with
a dozen carnations or a bunch of mixed
flowers, as a few spikes of mignonette.

William Scott.

THE CARNATION SHOW.

The Beview gave us such a full ac-
count of the American Carnation Soci-
ety's convention and exhibition that I
can hardly tell anything new. It cer-
tainly was the greatest show, in quality,
especially, the society has ever held, and
I am sure no one who attended can pos-
sibly regret it. The stock was exceed-
ingly well done throughout and in most
cases arrived in excellent condition. No
doubt one of the reasons for the general
high quality was the fact that very few
of the older varieties were shown, and
those few only served to show the ad-
vance that has been made in the last
five years. Such varieties as Fiancee,
Enchantress, Lady Bountiful and a few
others easily out-pointed what few older
varieties there were. Old Lawson, how-
ever, had no trouble in holding her own
in the dark pink classes.

Never before were there shown such
a grand array of scarlets. Robert CJraig,
which took the Lawson silver medal, is
certainly a fine thing. Fine stem, form,
color and a large bloom. Victory was
just as fine in every way, except the
color lacked that brightness which this
variety showed in the fall. It is a
splendid keeper. Cardinal is a grand
thing and deservedly took first on JOO
scarlet. The vase Witterstaetter set up
too late for competition was a grand
Bight. Bed Lawson from W. J. Palmer
made a nice show. John Haines suffered
in transit but a few blooms which were
uninjured showed that it i% as fine as
any of the others and a good color. Fla-
mingo was there in good form but in-
stead of standing out like it did at
Brooklyn, two years ago, it had to
hustle to hold its own alongside of the
others. Adonis, too, looked nice but
was outclassed. Bichmond Gem is a small
bloom but fine color.

Illinois, one of Eudd 's seedlings looked
good, the color is fine. We have been
looking for a scarlet to grow and sell
in the same class as Enchantress and
surely we ought to get at least one out
of this list. There is stUl room for im-
provement, however, in the color. We
want a brighter red with more yellow
in it. Who will produce itf

In white Lady Bountiful easily led in
quantity and was conceded to be the
best white in the competitive classes.
This variety has not only size and form

but it has the texture necessary to make
a commercial variety. It is the white
for the masses. White Lawson was shown
in good shape and, like its parent, it
has substance and size, though not as
good a form as Bountiful. The Belle
was shown in nice shape and of Gov.
Wolcott there were a few fine vases. My
Maryland, which won the bronze medal,
is a fine, large bloom on a good stem
and in the tall vase it made a fine show.
It arrived in good condition for having
come so far.

Enchantress was the whole thing in
light pink and was never shown better.
There was nothing shown that is likely
to- displace this variety for a year or
two at least, unless it be Witterstaetter 's
J. A. Valentine, which looked very good.
Dorothy Whitney was the best yellow
although it does not rank in size with
the other prize winners. Harlowarden
took the leading prizes in crimson. Mrs.
Lawson is not likely to be displaced just
yet unless it be by the Aristocrat, which
looks very formidiable. Dorner's Eclipse,
which goes in the same class is more of
a commercial carnation. It may be grown
in place of Lawson f^r market, on ac-
count of its fine stem and productive-
ness, but as an exhibition variety Law-
son seems to be "it." Indianapolis
was not shown as good as at Detroit.
Budd 's Lady Margaret looks like a, n^nod

commercial sort; good color and form.
Witterstaetter 's Afterglow looks like a
good thing, after the order of Fiancee.
Candace, shown by J. Hartje, is a beau-
tiful shade of pink. Prosperity was
shown in several vases, but nothing like
as good as at Indianapolis three years
ago.

Among the new ones that attracted
my attention were Mikado from M. A.
Patten. The bloom reminds one of Pros-
perity only it is fuller and of much bet-
ter form and has deep shadings of crim-
son instead of light red, a very striking
variety. Variegated Lawson, from F. E.
Pierson Co., is about as heavily marked
as Mrs. Patten. Glen dale, from W, J.
& M. S. Vesey, is a white and red striped
flower and looks like a good commercial
sort; long stem, good calyx and form.
No. 155, 1902, from Dorner, is a fine
large blpom on a fine stem, color neither
pink nor red, but beautiful at night.
No. 63' 1902, from H. Weber & Sons, is
a fine large variegated white and red.
No. 12 from the E. G. Hill Co. is a fine
large white which won a certificate of
merit. No. 38, from H. W. Buckbee,
variegated pink and white, won a silver
cup. No. 569, 1902, from C. W. Ward,
is a fine large pink, a fine color. Alma
Ward is a very good white. No. 163,
1902, from Dorner, is the most beautiful
shade of light pink I ever saw, grand
at night. We shall watch for this. No.
211, 1901, from C. W. Ward, is a fine
crimson.

All these showed fine quality and in
the growth and habit are as good they
will make valuable additions to our list
of varieties. Some of them will likely
displace some of the varieties we are
growing now. A. F. J. Baur.

THE BANQUET.

There were 206 present at the banquet
^ven to the American Carnation So-
ciety at the Auditorium Hotel in Chi-
cago January 26. The menu was in
keeping with the reputation of Chicago's
leading hostelry. President W. N. Rudd,
of the Chicago Florists' Club, presided
and at the conclusion of the repast in-
tioduced Peter Fisher, president-elect of
the Americjm Carnation Society. Ear-
nestness marks Mr. Fisher's oratory as
"•"11 na everything else he undertakes.

Visitors at Joliet, IIL, on January 27, 1905.

He urged united effort in behalf of the
society, which is the most active of
the special trade organizations, and pre-
dicted that in Boston next year we shall
have even a better meeting than the
very successful one held in Chicago last
week. Other speakers were President
James Hartshorne, E. G. Hill, J. C.
Vaughan, C. W. Ward, E. C. Miller, F.
B. Pierson, Fred Dorner, Lewis Ullrich
and P. J. Hauswirth. W. J. Lawrence,
a member of the Canadian delegation,
sang.

At the close of the evening Geo. A.
Backham, for the committee on final
resolutions, read a report expressive of
the society's appreciation of its hos-

TRIP TO JOLIET.

Nearly all the convention visitors re-
mained in Chicago for a couple of days
after the convention to visit ths large
carnation growing establishments of the
vicinity. On Friday morning, January
27, a carload went to Joliet on the
Bock Island, arrangements having been
made to stop the train at the ^een-
houses for the accommodation of the
party. Four hours were given to the
inspection of the establishments of the
big carnation growers there. Fiancee
and Eobert Craig were the centers of
interest, but the condition of the other
stock was such as to attract the favor-
able comment of the visitors.

The accompanying illustration is from
a photograph taken in the propagating
house of the Chicago Carnation Co. and
shows the visitors and a bench of cut-
tings of Fiancee.

Many went to the establishments of
Peter Beinberg, Bassett & Washburn,
"Wietor Bros., J. A. Budlong, Poehlmann
Bros, and others and a number made the
trip from Chicago to Bichmond to see
Mr. Hill's new rose.

YouNGSTOWN, O. — It is reported that
a large range of glass for cut flowers
is to be erected at Oakland, about five
miles south of here.

Liquid Food.

Commercially speaking, the most prac-
tical manures to use in forming the
base of liquid food are those from the
cow or sheep. Additions of other ma-
nures or fertilizers are needed in par-
ticular cases to supply some certain ele-
ment not present in the base in the de-
sired quantity; therefore it is well to
have at hand such fertilizers as hen
manure, unleached wood ashes, soot and
bone meal. Some people hold hen ma-
nure in very high value, rating it near-
ly on a par with Peruvian guano, but
it has no such value, as will be seen
when it is considered that hens live
chiefly on grain, while the birds fur-
nishing guano subsist almost wholly on
fish and meat. Besides, guano con-
tains decomposed bodies of dead birds.
Hen manure is rich in nitrogen and
owes its value to the fact that the ex-
crement from the kidneys is passed with
the solids. With other animals this is
separated and mostly lost.

Some sort of receptacle must be or-
vided in which to prepare the liquid
and it is best to provide means for hav-
ing it free from sediment when used,

as it is not only more easily handled
when distributed by a pump or other-
wise, but it is objectionable to spread
this sediment on the soil. I have used
with success a number of large barrels
connected at the bottom by pipes. Into
each or any number of barrels, accord-
ing to the strength of liquid desired,
is placed a stout sack containing about
a peck of ingredients. When filled with
water and kept, preferably, in a fair-
ly warm place the liquid is soon ready
for use.

No precise rule can be given for mak-
ing liquid food, as much depends on
conditions, but it is imperative that
the first application be a weak solution,
the strength being gradually increased
as the plants demand and can assimilate
it. To start with, a mixture in the pro-
portion of a handful of wood ashes to
a peck of cow or sheep manure in fifty
gallons water is strong enough. This
will give a liquid about the color of
medium strength tea and as the quanti-
ty of manure is increased or water de-
creased the color deepens, but do not
rely too much on color.

Close observation will tell you when
and how much to increase the strength
of the liquid, also what fertilizer to
add to the base, remembering that wood
ashes help stem and brilliancy in flow-
ers. Bone meal is almost a complete
manure but is valuable particularly in
increasing size of bloom. Hen manure,
being rich in nitrogen, induces growth
of foliage, while soot improves its color.

It is better to feed at intervals of a
week or ten days and moderately than
at long intervals and heavily.

CARNATION SENATOR CRANE.

This fine carnation was raised by E.
Dolby, gardener to Zenas Crane, Palton,
Mass., by crossing Lawson and Bradt
and is now in its third year. The plant
is vigorous growing, producing long
and strong stems early in the season.
The calyx is as near perfect as pos-
sible. The flower has a fine fragrance
and averages over three and one-half
inches in diameter. In form the flower
somewhat resembles Mme. Diaz Alber-
tini, but is rather more double and has
a fuller center. The color is deep flesh,
being evenly distributed all over the

flower, more nearly approaching Mar-
qais than Enchantress in shade. The
plant is a free and persistent bloomer.

At the show of the Lenox Horticul-
tural Society last October, Senator Crane
received a first-class certificate. A few
blooms staged at the Boston chrysanthe-
mum show attracted much favorable no-
tice. In regard to its keeping quali-

WITTEHSTAETTER NOVELTIES.

There was no exhibit at last week's ex-
hibition of the American Carnation So-
ciety which attracted more attention than
that of B. Witterstaetter, of Cincinnati.
Because of a railroad wreck, Mr. Witter-
staetter arrived too late to stage his
blooms for competition. Had he been
in tinje he would at least have rendered
the work of the judges more difficult

flowers at the close of the Boston show,
after being staged five days, and they
kept well for another week.

Mr. Dolby's entire stock was recently
purchased by E. C. Pye, of Nyack,
N. Y., who will place it on the market
when he can work up a sufficiently large
stock. We consider this one of the most
promising seedlings we have seen of late
years. The photograph hardly did the
flowers .iustice in the group, those to the
left appearing undersized.

CARNATION MRS. W. L. LEWIS.

A carnation which is making a name
for itself in Boston at present is Mrs.
W. L. Lewis, originated by the enter-
prising proprietor of the Lewis Conser-
vatories, Marlboro, Mass. This seedling
is now in its fourth year and has
proved itself a money maker and bids
fair to be a good commercial variety
in every respect. Its parentage is Mary
"Wood X Flora Hill. Color is snow
white and the strong clove fragrance
is very pleasing. Flowers average three
to three and one-half inches in diameter
and are full, stiff petaled, well fringed
and symmetrical, with a high center. The,
calyx is strong, Mr. Lewis stating that
he has never seen a burst flower. Stems
are stiff and eighteen to twenty-four
inches in length. Habit strong and very
prolific, grass of medium width. Mr.
Lewis has booked numerous orders for
this variety and will introduce it the
present season. The nhotocrraph of the
house of this variety was taken on Jan-
uary 2. W. N. Ceaio.

and it is quite possible that his pres-
ence might have called for a consider-
able change in the list of awards. We
present in this issue illustrations show-
ing four of Mr. Witterstaetter 's new
varieties.

That which will attract the greatest
attention is ther^ improved Lawson, to
which he has given the very excellent
name of Aristocrat. This is much the
shade of Mrs. Lawson, with larger size,
as he grows it, and a much better form.
Mr. Witterstaetter says that while it is
not noteworthy for its early blooming
qualities, it makes good stems on the
early flowers and comes into heavy crop
in season to be a more profitable variety
than he has found Lawson. He has
made no plans for disseminating this va-
riety, but it will doubtless find its way
to the trade in the course of time.

Another pink of excellent character is
Afterglow, which comes in the Scott
class for color. J. A. Valentine is the
name given to a light pink shade, an
attractive sort but one not likely to
prove a serious rival to Enchantress so
long as that variety retains its vigor.
No. 1021 Bl, is an unnamed seedling of
the Scott shade of which Mr. Witter-
staetter thinks highly, although he says
it is not as early a bloomer as he would
wish.

BACTERIA,

I send samples of Fair Maid and Law-
son carnations from near the heating
pipes which about two weeks ago began
to show dried tips on the leaves. They
were benched in September and did well.
Enchantress growing next to" them is
only slightly affected. Queen does not
show it at all. I have been watering
tbem quite freely of late, but there
seems to be plenty of drainage. I keep
the temperature about 53 degrees at
night and let it run as high as 73 de-
grees on bright days. What is the trou-
ble? LF.F.

The Lawson and Fair Maid are af-
fected by the same thing, bacteria. We
are told that these are introduced through
the punctures produced by aphis, thrips,
or, in fact, any insect that punctures
tho leaves. The bacteria enters into the
leaf and starts a decaying which breaks

down the cells in the leaf. Tlies3 light
spots are broken down cells and where
it goes far enough the leaf will start
drying up like the Fair Maid samples
show. •

The plants being near ths hot water
pipes makes them a favorable breeding
place for these insects and no doubt
that is why they are worse affected than
those farther away. Gst a can of To-
bak-ine liquid and spray the plants three
times a week to get rid of all the in-
sects there are and the plants will grow
out of it again. The spots that are
there now will remain and all you can
do is to help the plants to grow out of
it. Be careful not to overfeed the plants
that show these spots, as it will ag-
gravate the case. Do all you can to
harden the growth without stunting the
plants. Eun them on the dry side and
give all the air you can.

BUILDING OVER BEDS.

I expect to build a carnation house
this year and had in mind planting young
stock this spring in a bed on the ground
just where I am going to build the
house and build the house over them in
the fall, letting them remain in the same
soil all winter, trusting to mulching to
keep them in good order. You will please
tell ms what you think of this plan, also
what kind to plant to get the best re-
sults in a hous3 of mixed colors tmd
which ones to plant at {he warm end. You
need not name the latest introductions,
just good standard sorts in the various
colors. W. M. W.

Two years ago we built a house over
some 10,000 carnation plants which we
had planted in beds the spring bsfore,
working the same scheme you mention.
It proved so satisfactory that we expect
to repeat the operation next summer.
That is, of course, providing your soil is
well drained. If such is not the case

you will do well to raise the beds some-
what and use about a foot of cinders for
drainage, and then four inches of soil
to plant in. Such a bed will not dry out
as rapidly as a raised bench and yet
drain satisfactorily in the winter. You
gain much by building in this way. You
save lifting the plants in the fall and
you need not hurry so much with the
building, just so you get closed up before
cold weather.

Most any variety will do first rate
under this arrangement. You do not
name the varieties you are growing so 1
can hardly tell you how to plant. If you
are a beginner I would advisa you to
plant the following: For white, plant

Lady Bountiful, Moonlight, Her Majes-
ty, Lorna, Boston Market ; for pink, Mrs.
Lawson, Floriana, Indianapolis; for light
pink, Enchantress; for red, Crane, Es-
telle. Plant Lawson at the warmest end,
the others will not matter,

FROM VIOLETS TO CARNATIONS,

I have a greenhouse 18x150 which I
have been using for double violets, but
have had poor success and want to try
carnations. The house has board sides
three feet high and runs a little east
of south. Will such a house grow good
carnations if properly handled? I have
good soil in the benches which I used
for violets. Is it necessary to change it
for carnations? If not, what should I
do to it? Would Enchantress be a good
variety to grow? W. C). P.

While the most approved and most
generally used greenhouse for growing
carnations runs east and west there is no
reason why you should not grow good
carnations in your house, providing the
glass is of good average size, A house
running as yours does will not get quite
as much sunshine as an east and west
house and the size of the glass cuts more
of a figure, too. I would advise you to
change the soil by all means and use
fresh soil for planting your next crop.
Enchantress is a good paying variety
and would likely thrive as well as any
you could plant. The wants of your mar-
ket should, however, guide you in select-
ing your varieties. You may want sev-
eral colors rather than so many of one
color. For instance, Enchantress, Lady
Bountiful and Indianapolis would give
you three colors and all good paying
varieties, requiring about the same tem-
p?rature. A. F, J, Baur.

INDOOR CULTURE.

I would like to ask if any one has
tried and would recommend growing En-
chantress carnations in pots until spring
and then planting directly into the beds,
the same as you would with Lawson.

W. S. H.

You can plant Enchantress from pots
like 70U do Lawson with good success.
This variety, however, transplants easily
and unless you have other reasons for
wanting to plant from pots I can see
no advantage over planting early from
the field. Red Lawson should of course
be handled the same as you do Mrs.
Lawson. About Cardinal and Fiancee
I can say nothing personally, but I
understand they both lift well from the
field. Neither one has a sprawly habit
of growth, however, and I imagine both
would readily lend themselves to indoor
culture. A. F. J. Baur.

CARNATION DAY.

Viewed from a strictly trade stand-
point, McKinley day was a keen disap-
pointment. Reports are almost unani-
mous that in no section of the country
did the demand for carnations for Jan-

uary 29 even approach the dimensions
which had been anticipated. There was
a ^ood Saturday and Sunday business
for carnations and that was all. In
many wholesale centers the stocks had
been largely augmented by the process
of storing up which is practiced at hol-
idays and the result was, in many in-
stances, that carnations brought more
money all through last week than they
did on Saturday and Sunday.

It is noteworthy, however, that very,
cold weather prevailed practically over
the whole United States on January 29,
which kept people indoors and prevented
their wearing flowers even did they ven-
ture on the street. From several sec-
tions the report comes that many carna-
tion table centerpieces were asked for
and the large number of buyers who
make it a practice to take a few flowers
home Saturday evening almost invariably
asked for carnations. It is quite within
the possibilities that on a year when
McKinley day weather is milder, the de-
mand will reach the proportions which
were anticipated for this year.

A WINDOW SCHEME.

The material used in the window dec-
oration, illustrated herewith, consists of
American Beauty roses. Paper White
narcissi, Roman hyacinths, two or three
fern pans, half a dozen Boston feme,
some sheet moss, an areca, two olive
green rattan screens, five yards of rib-
bon, the eight or nine receptacles for
flowers, and two light strings of Aspara-
gus plumosus, with a spray three feet
long of Asparagus Sprengeri.

The scheme is suggestive of a garden
gate, where American Beauties are clus-
tered about the entrance. The narcissi
are growing outside of the left gate,
and to be seen through it within the
garden. The line of Roman hyacinths
forms a border to the walk which ''a
supposed to turn to the left. The only
glimpse to be had of the interior is the
group of Boston ferns and the palm in
the distance. The whole design is mere-
ly suggestive, not intended to be repre-
sentative.

Now, as to the mechanical part: The
bottom of the window is covered with
sheet moss, as being the most natural
background. Then the screens are set
in against the glass, and at different
angles, the left one being more nearly
parallel with the front of the window.
Three small, short vases are then set in
front of the left screen, as shown. These
vases are concealed under a covering of
sheet moss. The effect when finished is
that of clumps of narcissi growing from
the ground. Just behind this screen are
some more narcissi, close enough to
throw a few of the fiowers through the
meshes of the screen. One large cluster
in a green jardiniere, with a few
Beauties, is seen on the right edge of
the screen. Behind the screen, to the
extreme left, is a tall iron plant stand
holding a narrow glass vase in which is

a cluster of American Beauties leaning
forward over the top of the screen.

Against the right screen, in the corner
of the window, is another vase of
Beauties. Following to the lower left
are placed some small ferneries of As-

paragus plumosus, cocos and pteris, be-
hind which is placed a vase of Paper
White narcissi. This fills the space im-
mediately in front of the screen. Then
begins a line of Roman hyacinths in
small dishes, hidden by wrappings of
sheet moss, which follows a circular di-
rection toward the left, behind the left
screen. The space between the groups
of flowers about the base of both screens
is open, exposing to view the bank of
Boston ferns in the back of the window.
These are placed one above another on
stands, and tipped forward, so that the
pots are hidden.

Just behind the inside edge of the
right screen is another vase containing
American Beauties, falling forward
against the screen, and behind it, partly
visible from the front. The upper clus-
ter of Beauties is fastened on the screen,
a few turns of wire being sufficient to
hold them in place. They have the ap-
pearance of being on a climbing plant.

The flowers and plants being all in
place, a loose drape of broad, soft white
ribbon is added, as pictured, and light
sprays of asparagus previously fastened
to the edges of the screens are drawn
together in a loose drape between the
screens. The rest of the asparagus is
traced lightly over the left gate.

This style of arrangement is good for
a week in a show window, with an occa-
sional freshening, all of the ffowers be-
ing in water except the upper bunch of
Beauties on the right.

Besides being a window design, this
scheme is adaptable to a church decora-
tion, or a background for a wedding or
reception party, a screen for musicians,
or a corner in a hall opposite the front
entrance. Carnations or other roses
could be used in place of the Beauties.
Many pleasing variations could be de-
vised. Gertrude Blair.

Carrying the Plants Over.

There is one other point, also, on
which it may be well to say a few
words, and that is the method used in
handling stock which it is intended
to grow more than one year. The gen-
eral practice is to force the plants up
to the end of June, then gradually dry
off the beds, at the same time giving
all the air possible day and night, thus
allowing roots and wood to become well
ripened, although in the case of teas
the plants should not actually become
dormant; they will start stronger if
not allowed to become too hard, but
are merely rested — rested describes the
condition best of anything.

If ever the wood of teas begins to
get yellow and the leaves fall off, it
is a sure sign of the soil being too dry
and no time should be lost in correct-
ing this, as this condition of too dry
soil is the principal cause of failure to

ripen our rose bushes successfully. The
exact point at which to give water or
to withhold it altogether is very diffi-
cult to state in just so many words,
but, as I have said, if the wood in
ripening up has not lost its dark-
green color and the leaves have not
fallen off, then the plants may be con-
sidered generally to be in good condi-
tion, and an occasional syringing or
light watering should be sufficient.

In from four to six weeks from the
time the plants began to rest they will
be ready to start into growth, but be-
fore starting they most likely will need
some pruning. This I shall divide into
two classes, taking Brides and Maids
as an example of light pruning, and
Liberty as a specimen of the class re-
quiring close pruning.

Light Pruning. "
For the first kinds it is recommended
that only the tops of the plants be cut

Fbbbuart 2, 1905.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

oflf, generally the last growth that has
been made being sufficient, if it has
been properly ripened. Only the very
lightest wood or useless brush should
be cut out completely, and, in fact,
unless the plants are good and strong
it would be safest for a beginner to cut
nothing but the tops, and then, after
the plants have made a good healthy
start, he may do a little thinning out.

I must put special stress on this mat-
ter of cutting out, as it is the very
point on which there may be a great
variety of opinions as to what consti-
tutes useless wood. It is certainly true
that unless a person knows what he is
about he will do the least damage and
have the greatest chance of success by
letting the plants alone, with the excep-
tion of merely cutting off the tops.

While it is the common practice to
leave Brides and Maids standing up-
right after pruning, there are occasions
when it is almost imperative to bend
them down. This is especially so in
the case of plants over two years old,
which often become so tall that, in
order to get them within a convenient
working distance, they would have to
be cut back too hard; consequently the
only alternative is to bend them down
and tie out in fan shape, taking care
not to cross the canes any more than
necessary.

Qose Pruning.

The second class, of which Liberty
has been cited as an example, requires
close prunii^g. Kaiserin and Carnot
also are familiar examples. They
should be cut back somewhat similar to
hybrid perpetuals. The general rule is
to cut one-year-old plants to four or
five good eyes, and the second and fol-
lowing years back on the first growth
made after starting up the plants dur-
ing that year. Of course, they will
grow all right if not cut back to the
limit, but the longest stems usually
come from the closest cut plants, allow-
ance being made for the different varie-
ties, as a strong growing sort will not
require as close pruning as a weak kind.

Most of the present-day varieties,
then, can be placed under these two
classes, but I have no doubt that many
of the roses of the future will require
treatment which will be midway be-
tween these two extremes.

Starting Into Growth.

The method of starting the plants
into growth is about the same in all
cases. The beds should be thoroughly
cleaned off and given a good watering.
Some prefer to remove a little of the
old soil, but it is not at all necessary
and I doubt very much if there is
enough gain to pay for the trouble,
except, perhaps, in special cases.

After the beds have had a good
watering, whatever manures or fertiliz-
ers one is accustomed to use may be
put on and thoroughly watered in. Now,
this is the important part; it may take
one watering and it may take three or
four, but at any rate do it thoroughly.
Then let the soil alone. This, also, is
important, as no more water is required
until the plants break into a good red,
healthy growth.

Examine the soil and when little
white rootlets are found, it is a sign
that the plants will take more water if
carefully applied, but do not give too
much, as an overdose at this stage will

The Garden Gate in the Show Window*

cause the young shoots to turn yellow.
This is the danger point, but once over
this stage, the plants will be ready for
the regular treatment which is given to
any rose.

From Benches to Bed*.

Some growers prefer to grow their
plants on benches for the first year
and replant into solid beds the second
year. This gives very satisfactory re-
sults and can be recommended to any
who wish to run plants for two or three
years but do not care to star* in with
solid beds.

The treatment is about the same as
though carried over without changing
the soil. The plants should be ripened
sufficiently so that they may be lifted
without danger of the wood shriveling.
When ready to transfer to the new soil
they should be watered enough so that
they may be lifted with a good ball
of soil on the roots. Now, while they
may be planted directly into the new
soil, the better way, and by long odds
the safest, is to put them outdoors in
the sun, throw in a little soil between
the plants and water well. In four or
five days the roots will begin to start,
when they should be brought in and
planted. Tramp the soil in firmly
about the roots, leaving a basin around
each plant, so that only the soil con-
taining roots will be wet, and water
thoroughly.

The only danger points now are dry
air and wet soil. The first causes the
wood to shrivel; to prevent this, keep
the walks damp and the bushes sprayed
for a few days, with a very fine spray.
The second causes the new growth to
start yellow, or even, in some cases, the

plants to die outright. The remedy
depends mostly on the skill and expe-
rience of the grower, but in general I
may say that the first watering often
proves sufficient to start the roots; at
any rate, the less water they receive
until the plants have begun to grow
well, the less will be the chances of
failure.

FEEDING THE ROSE PLANTS.

As we are now about to emerge from
the dark weather and the duration and
intensity of sunshine also are on the
increase we can afford to apply feeding
material in stronger doses and with more
frequency. But if we wish to supply
this food in the form of a mulch we
must not forget the danger of putting it
on too thickly; better to apply it thinly
and more frequently than take any risks
which are sure to accompany a heavy
application.

The benefit to be derived from a heavy
dose will be more than counterbalanced
by the evil effects of excluding the light
and sun from the surface of the soil,
preventing proper evaporation and bring-
ing root action to a standstill. These
life-giving rays should rather be encour-
aged to find their way to the surface of
the soil and have no obstruction placed
in their way. While we may be very
anxious to supply the necessary food in
sufficient quantities, we must not lose
sight of the fact that light and sunshine
are as necessary to the roots and soil as
to the stems and foliage.

A light, rich mulch will now greatly
benefit those roses which are healthy and
vigorous but this should be put on no
thicker than half an inch and should
more resemble a top-dressing than a

mulch proper. A top-dressing of bone
meal would now be welcomed and this
also should be applied sparingly for the
first application and especially if the
plants are weak or the foliage slightly
off color and should be entirely avoided
if the plants are sickly.

This material contains ammonia and
phosphorus in the proper proportions
and in a very assimilable form and can
be applied to the surface of the soil with
proper effect without in any way disturb-
ing it, the subsequent waterings convey-
ing the element within reach of the feed-
ing roots.

"Where roses show a softness of wood
or foliage it is advisable to give them a
top dressing of lime or wood ashes.
These also should at this season be ap-
plied carefully and in small doses until
the season is more advanced and as no
stirring of the surface is required to de-
rive the full benefit, the operation is
easily and quickly performed.

When the weather is bright and clear
an application of liquid food will now
be of great benefit and this, if applied
at the right stage of growth, will by
reason of its readily assimilable form be
more immediate in its action and bring
quicker results. Ribes.

SOIL FOR ROSES.

Will you kindly tell me what kind of
soil 18 good for roses? I was advised
by one grower to use black soil and an-
other to use some clay in it. T. H.

The most suitable soil for rose culture
under glass is the top spit from old pas-
ture land where the soil is a rather
heavy, friable loam, with at least fifty
per cent of clay in its composition. The
black soils which prevail in some quar-
ters, while not the ideal rose soil, are
capable of producing first-class roses.
A slight mixture of a good friable clay,
say m the proportion of one part to
three would no doubt be beneficial if
properly composted and thoroughly in-
eorporated. K^-^jg^

TROUBLE WITH ROSES.

I send you samples of rose plants,
lliey have been standing still and drop-
ping leaves for some time, I do not
think they have been over watered. I
have been keeping the house at 56 to
58 degrees at night. A few times the
house has been as low as 52 degrees, but
not often. I have some Ivory in the
same house that are doing nicely I
have about 600 plants in all, about 'half
of which were carried over from last
year. The latter look the worse. I
notice in the sample of soil a small in-
sect resembling thrips, but it seems to
be about the roots of the plants. I have
been particular about ventilation, giv-
ing them air whenever possible. What
do you think of the soil for growing
roses f The separate sample is the kind
of soil near the greenhouse. L. E. A.

These plants are infested with eel
worms and I can hold out little hope of
their ever doing any good. The Perles
are not so badly affected as the other
specimen, and may weather through till
spring growth commences, and as they
are rank growers, they may outlive it.

The little insects in the soU are the
larvae of thrips, which ^ill soon develop
into the perfect insect.

The sample of soil is altogether too

light to suit roses, and, indeed, I would
like it even heavier for carnations.

•The soil in which the roses were plant-
ed is also too light. I would advise using
the clay part of it without mixture of any
other soil, simply adding one-fifth of
decomposed cow manure. Chop the whole
compost up and turn over a few times
before using. It would be unsafe to
propagate from such stock. Bibes.

OLD PLANTS OUTDOORS

What is the proper temperature for
American Beauty f I notice that in
the spring some growers advertise old
plants of Beauty for sale. What are
they used forf Could they be used out-
doors in Missouri for cutting during
summer f Could old plants of Bride and
Bridesmaid be used for this purpose?

B.

Beauties do well at a temperature of
58 degrees but some growers are equal-
ly successful using 60 degrees. The
old stock which is advertised in May
and June is used for outdoor planting
and if properly handled and cared for
they can be made a source of pleasure
and profit and are good for years. They
are much superior to young plants, as
they are ready to go to work at once.
Brides and Maids are also useful for
this purpose but in some of the north-
ern states they are liable to suffer se-
verely during a hard winter. I should

think they would do well with you.
Kaiserin and Meteor would no doubt
also do well. BiBXS.

BLIND WOOD

Our Brides, Maids and Beauties are
all sending up more blind wood than
blooming wood; also both varieties of
Cochets. The growth on the Beauties
is very strong, canes five to eight feet
long, and still growing, but no buds.
The growth on the others is not vigor-
ous. Temperature ranges from 55 to 60
degrees at night and higher in the day.

xL. H. B.

There are many causes for Brides and
Maids producing a surplus of blind
wood, chief among which is defective
ventilation. Another very common cause
is allowing the branches to trail over
the bench instead of being tied up neat-
ly. Brides and Maids will also have a
tendency to run to blind wood if the
temperature frequently reaches 60 de-
grees at night; 56 degrees is the proper
temperature for these varieties.

Beauties will sometimes run to blind
wood during a protracted spell of dark
weather, but each and every shoot will
produce a bloom if you wait. Run them
a little on the dry side and keep the
night temperature about 58 degrees,
giving them 75 or 80 degrees when the
sun shines, but always with good ven-
tilation. Ribes.

ASTEHS UNDER GLASS.

Last fall, after our mums were out
of the way, we set out ten weeks' stocks
and they are now coming in bloom, but
a large part of them are single and no
good. Can we sow aster seed now and
pot them in 2% -inch pots when large
enough, then plant them out in the bed
where the stocks are about April 15?
Will the asters flower that way; that is,
will the blooms be good by having them
come in so early f Ought they to bloom
the middle of June? We thought of
growing Queen of the Market. Our idea
is to get something off of the space
that the stocks took up. A. B. C.

As I understand the above, you intend
to keep in the double stocks until they
are out of flower and then fill the bench
with asters. If asters are sown at once

and transplanted into flats and finally
into 2-inch or 2J^-inch pots you should
have fine plants by the middle of April.
Queen of the Market is an excellent va-
riety for the purpose, because it is extra
early. You will get fine, pure colored
flowers. They should all be cut during
June, at any rate in plenty of time to
renew soil and plant carnations on the
benches.

Years ago, when many of us did not
plant carnations until the middle of Sep-
tember, we often used the benches in
summer for a crop of asters. With late
flowering varieties the trouble was the
thrips. The hot summer months are
paradise to these pests. If neglected for
spraying and constant fumigating the
asters would be fairly eaten up. It is
not likely you wUl be troubled on so
early a crop. Plenty of ventilation,
spraying and fumigation will largely
insure your success. W. S.

TROUBLE WITH LETTUCE.

I enclose a fly which has been giv-
ing us some trouble. It seems to con-
fine its work entirely to the lettuce.
They work on the edge of the leaf and
cause it to turn brown around the edge.
Is there any way of destroying them?
The only way we have been able to
get rid of them is to go around with
a spatter and kill them.

I also enclose some lettuce leaves that
are affected. Can you tell us what is
wrong with them? We are not grow-
ing lettuce to make a businois of it,
just following our chrysanthemums with
lettuce. We bought the plants, out-door
grown, and have not done well. We
had a few plants that we started our-
selves inside and had them in the same

house with the others. These did splen-
didly. Both received the same treat-
ment and were the Grand Bapids va-
riety. We carry a night temperature of
50 degrees, have been careful in water-
ing and have given them all the ven-
tilation we could. We have used nitrate
of soda on them. As fast as they make
new growth they become covered with
this rust or whatever it may be. We
used hardwood ashes in the soil before
planting. K. & M.

The fly you sent is entirely new to
me but I have no doubt hydrocyanic gas
would kill it though two or three ap-
plications might be necessary. With an
egg producing insect, gas will not kill
the eggs and an application would be
necessary as the eggs hatch out, care
being taken to do it before the fly
reaches the adult or egg laying stage.
It might pay you to spend a little time
in learning something of the life his-
tory of the fly, as by learning how the
young are produced, and how long it
takes them to reach maturity, you would
know just when and ^w often it would
be necessary to apply the gas to effect
their extermination.

The lettuce sent is affected with a
fungus disease. Since the plants you
started from seed have done so well I
am inclined to think that those you
bought were not the true Grand Bapids
variety but some variety unsuitable for
forcing, which would account for its fall-
ing an easy prey to disease. Your night
temperature is rather high; 45 degrees
is quite high enough. At this tempera-
ture you will get a firmer, better growth.
Wood ashes in the soil is all right but
T would rather do without the nitrate
of soda. If you give your soil a liberal
dressing with well decomposed barn-
yard manure before setting out your
plants the application of liquid manures
should not be necessary.

W. S. Ceotdon.

TOMATOES IN POORISOIL.

I grow tomatoes in solid beds in a
house 90x116 and have not changed
crop or soil for three years, using com-
mercial fertilizers. The soil is now in-
fested with nematodes. Would steriliz-
ing the soil help and could it be done
without removing the soil from the
greenhouse? A. L. H.

It is not at all surprising that your

598

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

Fbbruart 2, 1905.

soil should have reached a condition in
which healthy plants can no longer be
grown, seeing that you have grown the
same crop exclusively for three years
without changing your soil. Of the
nematode theory I am a little doubtful
and, although sterilizing might help
your soil, it would by no means put it
back into a thoroughly fertile condition.
Having used commercial fertilizers ex-
clusively the soil is no doubt over-
charged with certain chemical sub-
stances, while others are lacking. You
do not say what fertilizers you have
used but I know of no commercial fer-
tilizer that can be classed as a com-
plete manure. The barnyard article is
the nearest approach to a complete
manure that can be had. Again, the
same crop grown successively is rob-
bing the soil of the same ingredients
year after year, and unless you go into
a thorough chemical analysis you could
not tell just what the soil contains.
Even outdoors I would not think of.
growing tomatoes in the same soil for
three successive years, despite the fact
that outdoors the soil has the advan-
tage of the purifying influence of the
atmosphere.

Judicial rotation of crops is consid-
ered one of the most essential elements
to success in horticulture as well as
agriculture, but under glass rotation is
not often possible and the only thing
that can be done is to renew the soil.
This I would advise once a year if it
can possibly be done. The matter of
soil is sometimes a serious question but
the diflBculty is not hard to surmount
if you can secure a piece of land for
«oil purposes. When you remove the
sod to make up the soil heap, cover
the ground stripped with the soil taken
from your benches or beds and sow
down in grass and clover. Let it re-
main thus for two or three years and
it will be just as good as if it had
never been used for greenhouse work.
If enough ground can be had so that
you can strip one-third of it every year,
you can keep up a continuous supply
of good soil. W. S. Croydon.

GROWING LARGE ONIONS.

Where extra large onions are desired
the present is a good time to begin oper-
ations. Procure seed of some of the
large-growing varieties. Prizetaker and
Ailsa Craig are both good ones. So•<^
in a rather free soil in flats and place in
a temperature of 60 degrees. Water
rather sparingly until the onions are
well up. When the plants are large
enough to handle, lift in bunches and
shake the soil from the roots as care-
fully as possible. It is here where free
soil has an advantage over stiff, heavv
soil, which will not shake off so readily.
Prick into flats again, allowing about an
inch between the plants. As the soil
should be richer than formerly used, the
addition of some finely sifted, dry horse
or cow manure will be advantageous, but
the soil should still be free. Set in the
same temperature as before for three or
four weeks. By this time they will have
made quite some growth. Then lower the
temperature and gradually harden off
preparatory to planting out.

The time of planting out will depend
a good deal on the season, but as a rule
this can safely be done about the middle
of April. A light frost will not hurt
them, but heavy frost would give them

quite a check. A piece of good groun.i
should be chosen, and this should be lib-
erally enriched with manure. They can
be set from twelve to fifteen inches be-
tween the rows, according to the amount
of ground at disposal. The wider the
rows are apart the more conveiiient for
cultivating. Five inches between the
plants in the rows will be about right;
this space they will pretty well fill, pro-
viding good culture and liberal feeding
are given. With this they can be had as
large as fifteen inches in circumference.
Considering the extra care necessary,
it would hardly pay to grow onions by
this method rbr general market purposes;
it is mainly as an exhibition article that
they are thus grown. The forced growth
naturally produces a rather soft onion,
and they cannot be depended on to keep
like smaller, firmer onions. When I first
started to grow by this method I used
the Prizetaker variety and I laid the
poor keeping qualities to the variety. To
satisfy myself of this, one year I tried
several varieties. Among them were
Yellow Globe Danvers, Southport White
Globe and other good keeping varieties,
but I found that they went just as bad
as the Prizetaker in the same room
where smaUer, firm onions of the same
varieties kept well, thus proving that it
was the forced growth that lay at the
root of the trouble. W. S. Croydon.

BEST EARLY TOMATO.

What is the best early tomato for
planting outdoors for market? It should
be of good size and smooth.

L. F. W.

Karliana and Freedom are both good.
In either case the fruits are smaller than
the general crop varieties, but these are
the largest and best of the very early
sorts. W. 8. Croydon.

HOUSE FOR LETTUCE.

I wish to build a house 20x100 for
lettuce. Would a three-quarter span
house be better than an even-span house
and how high should the ridge be if
the side walls are four feet highf I
should be glad of any other Unts on
building a house adapted to my purpose.

J. W. R.

I would prefer an even-span house
for lettuce forcing. Ten feet high at
the ridge ought to give a good pitch
to the roof and will be quite high enough
for your purpose. It is unnecessary to
build raised benches for lettuce; it does
much better on the floor of the house
or in solid beds. By constructing solid
beds, raising them a foot or more above
the ground level it would bring your
plants better up to the light but if you
do not care to go to this trouble they
can be grown all right on the ground
floor. W. S. Croydon.

NEW YORK.

The Market

The last week was a record breaker
for disagreeable weather, the market not
suffering so seriously in years. Not
only waa the temperature at times be-
low zero, but the blizzard was unequaled
in its fury and injury to business since
1888. Some days there were neither
shipments nor business and even now,
after a week of effort, the blockade

continues to yield loss and disaster.
The drifts in Twenty-eighth street hide
the wholesalers from each other and
thereby encourage speculation. January
has gone out like a lion.

Many shipments h&ve arrived frozen.
A dozen reasons appeared for the enor-
mous supply of pickled carnations on
Saturday. Evidently the growers had
heard of McKinley day, but the demand
was hardly noticeable. Prices asked in
the early morning oi Saturday were cut
in two before the evening and still the
expected demand did not materialize.
The day was a disappointment. The
prices of roses and carnations are also
depreciated by the enormous quantities
of bulbous stock, narcissi and tulips es-
pecially, now flooding the market. These
were bought for decorative work in
thousands.

With the coming of better weather
social events will be resumed and nor-
mal conditions will again prevail. Some
of the grandest balls of the year are
close at hand.

Various Notes.

Annual dinners are not yet exhausted.
On Friday of this week the New Jersey
Floricultural Society celebrates its tenth .
anniversary at Elks' hall, Orange, N. J.,
and on Saturday evening, at the St.
Denis Hotel, the New York Florists'
Club has its annual banquet.' Don't for-
get it, and if you have not secured your
tickets when you read this, wire Chair-
man Sheridan and get there. Already
sixty tickets have been sold. There
should be an attendance of 100.

A week from Monday will be carna-
tion night at the New York Florists'
Club. Many of the leading carnationists
will send the new varieties and attend.
A fine entertainment and luncheon will
be furnished the ladies and a large at-
tendance is sure. The evening promises
to be the best the club has ever enjoyed.
Exhibitors can express their flowers to
Secretary Young, for care and staging.

Jos. Leikens has completed his con-
servatory and is rapidly building up a

James Carrol, with Mackintosh, is ful-
ly recovered from his serious illness and,
as usual, has some wonderful Easter
novelties up his sleeve. Every one of
his Christmas novelties was sold long
before the holidays were over.

Forsythia, heather, primroses and
Croweanum fern made a beautiful com-
bination in Small's windows last week.

Bronchial sickness and la gripr^e still

to name any one who has been exempt
from these things and some are still
seriously ill.

All passenger rates on the L. T. B. R.

The Market.

Weather conditions have been of a
decidedly wintry nature the past week.
The blizzard of January 24 and 25
was the worst we have experienced for a
number of years. Its effect on steam
and electric railroads was such as to
make it difficult for growers coming to
the market for a couple of days. Those
who arrived found little demand. The
passing of the storm found much im-
proved conditions, the market cleaning
out capitally.

Hoses maintain previous quotations.
Nearly all the growers report their
plants as being off crop and receipts are
considerably reduced. Best quality
Brides and Maids continue to sell as
high as $20 per hundred, good grades
bringinpr $8 to $12. Carnations are in
good supply but have sold well. Violets
have been in rather shorter supply.
Prices were from 50 to 75 cents per
hundred. Callas and Easter lilies av-
erage $12.50 per hundred. Tulips sell
from $2 to $4, according to quality.
Yellow Trumpet narcissus is now of
good quality. Some very fine Golden
Spur are coming in. There has been
a very fine demand for white bulbous
stock. Some very nice antirrhinums and
sweet peas are coming from several
growers and freesia is of fine quality.
There has been a good demand for As-
paragus Sprengeri and adiantum.

Various Notes.

On February 11 the mid- winter ex-
hibition of the Massachusetts Horticul-
tural Society will be held. Quite a
number of prizes are also offered by

the Park street and Music Hall flower
markets. In all there are sixteen
classes for carnations, also others for
violets, sweet peas, mignonette and
roses and in pot plants Primulas Sinen-
sis, stellata and obconica and Begonia
Oloire de Lorraine are provided for. A
fine exhibition is assured and it will pay
introducers of novelties to send them
on to this show.

At Horticultural Hall on January 28
in place of the regular lecture a dis-
cussion on fruits took place, led by E.
W. Wood, of Newton. On February 2
another fruit topic holds the boards.

The Gardeners' and Florists' Club
will hold a field day among the market
growers of vegetables in Arlington on
March 11.

We are all glad to learn the American
Carnation Society will meet in Boston
next year. The carnationists in this sec-
tion will strive to make it the best
convention ever held.

Alexander McKay, for some years gar-
dener to Mrs. A. W. Spencer, of South
Framingham, has purchased ten acres
of good land close to the line of the
Boston and Worcester electrics and
thinks he may build next spring and go
in business on his own account. Mr.
McKay grew some of the finest violets,
hybrid roses and chrysanthemum blooms
ever exhibited in Boston while with the
late David Nevins and at his present
stand. No such double violets were ever
shown in Boston and we are sure he
will be successful in a commercial way.

Galvin showed some fine Dendrobium
Wardianum the past week, also a fine
lot of Cattleya Triana; and C. Percival-
iana and other seasonable orchids.
' M. H. Norton, who recently opened
a store at Park street, reports business
as very satisfactory. He has had quite
a number of decorations of late.

suffering most. The only business done
was with the telephone. Stock at the
wholesale houses has shortened up in
almost everything except bulbous stock
and violets, which are still very plenti-
ful in all grades. New crop lily of the
valley has been in stock for soms time,
with deficient foliage. Dutch hyacinths
are looked for daily. Harrisii and callas
are enough for the demand. Among the
rest are a few freesia, Von Sions and
tiilips.

Carnations had the greatest call on
Saturday and Sunday, owing to McKin-
ley day. Pink was favored but white
and red sold clean on those two days at
advanced prices. Extra fine Lawson and
Enchantress sold as high as $6 per hun-
dred. The scarcity on all kinds of roses
was very apparent the past weak, all
light colored stock selling clean. Not
near enough Brides came in for the de-
mand, so Ivory, Golden Gate and Carnot
sold better than they have been.

Violets are by no means selling clean.
Plenty of extra good California and
doubles are in the market. CaUfornias
are down to 50 cents a hundred for
choice. Smllax, asparagus and galax
loaves sold well last week. Of this
stock the market has had a big supply
all season.

Various Notes.

Simplicity prevailed at the mid- win-
ter school commencement. The school
board openly stated that no flowers
should be sent to any of the graduates.
This order hurt th3 trade considerably,
although some flowers were sent in spite
of this sweeping order, which the fair
graduates claim is not much to their
liking.

Eobett Beyer sustained a terrible loss
the past week. His youngest son, Robert,
Jr., three years old, set fire to his cloth-
ing while playing in one of the green-
houses. Eobert himself was badly burned
in trying to put out the flames. The
little one died early the next morning
after great suffering. The funeral took
place on Saturday afternoon. The family
has our deepest sympathy.

Joe Hauser, of Webster Groves, lost
bis entire plant by fire last week. The
place was formerly run by Wm, Clamp.
There was no insurance and Mr, Hauser
not being in good circumstances, a col-
lection is being made among the trade to
give him a new start.

Arnold Eingier, representing w. W.
Barnard & Co., Chicago, has spent a
week among the trade.

Fred Weber and Theo. Miller were the
first of the St. Louis delegation to re-
turn from the American Carnation So-
ciety meeting at Chicago. They report
a great show and a good time, also that
the rest of the delegation would make
the rounds of the carnation belt in In-
diana before returning home.

The Florists ' Club meeting next Thurs-
day afternoon will be the most impor-
tant meeting of the year. A grand dis-
play of new carnations is promised.
These the committee in charge have
placed in four classes for the home
growers and four for the outside grow-
ers, giving each $25 in prizes. Most
of the local growers who are dub mem-
bers report that they will make exhibits.
For the meeting the following question
has been sent to the committee: "What
should be the requirements of a new
carnation to entitle it to a certificate
of merit from our clubf" This ques-
tion has been assigned to J. F. Ammann.
The question "Which was the best pink,
white or red carnation for commercial
purposes at the Chicago show!" John
Steidel will answer. ' ' Which of the new
varieties exhibited at the Chicago show
U best for our local growers to buy?"
A. Jablonsky will answer. "The ex-
hibition from a retailer's standpoint and
for the benefit of the growers" will be
discussed by Fred C. Weber.

Edward Troy, who was chief clerk in
the departments under F. W. Taylor at
the World's Fair, will remove to Wash-
ington, where he has secured a position
in the bureau of plant industry. The
St. Louis florists who have learned to
know Mr. Troy will be glad to meet him
next summer during the S. A. F, con-
vention in Washington. J. J. B.

The Market.

The second McKinley day has passed
and, notwithstanding the fact that it
was on Sunday, great quantities of car-
nations were sold and at very good
prices. Owing to the cold, dark weather
recently, many of the growers held back

of stock to fill all orders. There were
not nearly bo many blooms seen in but-
tonholes as last year, but many a house
had a little decoration of carnations.

The supply of stock at present is very
light but all the houses seem to be able
to fill orders without trouble. White
and pink roses are the shortest and
Beauties are in the best supply. The
price all along the line has been raised.
Good Brides and Maids now bring $10
to $12 per hundred, best Beauties $5
per dozen. Carnations are coming heav-
ier than roses but are cleaned up nicely.
Violets are about equal to the demand.
Bulbous stock and greens sell well.

Various Notes.

All the boys are back from the car-
nation meeting and many are the praises
heard about the treatment received at the
hands of the Chicago Florists' Club. E.
G Gillett said that the show of blooms
was very fine and he felt weU repaid for
his trip. Of course B. "Witterstaetter
was disappointed in not being able to
compete, but judging from the reports,
his exhibit was the center of attraction.
Ed. Foster, Will Sunderbruch and J.
A. Peterson were equally well pleased.

Our annual rose show, to be held Feb-
ruary 11, is moving along nicely and a
good display is looked forward to. All
growers who have anything new or of
extra quality are cordially invited to ex-
hibit. Besides the regular classes the
S. A. F. silver and bronze medals are
up for competition. They are well worth
the winning.

Park Superintendent B. P. Critchell's
salary has been raised to $2,500. The
board of public service of this city surely
is to be congratulated on this move, as
Mr. Critchell is the best all-round man
that we have ever had at the head of our
park system. When you take into con-
sideration the small amount of money
with which he had to do his work, the
results are little short of marvelous.

I regret to report the death of Mrs.
Frank, wife of Adam Frank, of West-
wood. Mr. Frank is one of the oldest
florists in this part of the country and
is well known by all the craft.

Chas. D. McCrae has gone to Lexing-
ton, Ky., to take charge of Hardesty &
Ootes' retail store. Since his arrival
there he reports trade as first-class,
and good prospects for the future.

Visitors have been many during the
past week. Florists on their way to
and from the convention stopped off
here. Mr. Chas. W. Crouch, of Knox-
ville, Tenn., spent several days visiting
the various growers. Others were J. T.
Herdegen, Aurora, Ind. ; O. C. Oberlin,
Georgetown, Ky.; B. G. Boehringer, Bay
City, Mich.; Chas. Frueh & Son, Sag-
inaw, Mich.; Fred Breitmeyer, Detroit,

CHICAGO.

The Market.

McKinley day did not bring the an-
ticipated increase in the demand for
carnations. Growers held back to work
up a supply for Saturday, with the re-
sult that prices were better all through
last week than they were on Saturday,
when large lots could be bought on very
reasonable terms. In spite of this, how-
ever, a good business was done and it is
quite within the bounds of possibility
that McKinley day may yet cut some
figure in years when the temperature is
somewhere near the freezing point. This
year it was nearer zero. This week
supplies are again normal and the mar-
ket steady.

The situation in other departments re-
mains practically unchanged. There is
still a shortage of tea roses, vdth enough
Beauty to meet all requirements, al-
though the receipts are gradually dimin-
ishing. Liberty is not plentiful, but
appears to be in little demand. There
are plenty of violets and all other items
of seasonable cut flowers. The receipts
of sweet peas are not large and are
cleaned up promptly each morning.
Other stock is more or less slow sale
except that tulips are doing a little bet-
ter, as there are now several colors and

the stems are gaining length. Green
gcods are in fairly steady demand and
moving at profitable prices.

The January Business.

From a wholesaler's point of view
January, 1905, was not up to January,
1904, in spite of the fact that the Iro-
quois disaster a year ago made the
month a dull one socially. Beauties sold
at half last year 's price ; never were they
so low in January. Tea roses have been
ill very short supply all the month.
Carnations were a glut until more than
half the month was gone. The first fort-
night was, moreover, exceptionally quiet.
All these causes operated to work a
decrease in the aggregate of sales.

In view of this it would seem that the
gardeners' union, which has been heard
from again, had chosen an inauspicious
moment to negotiate for another in-
crease in wages.

Various Notes.

The board of directors of the Ameri-
can Carnation Society asked Phil Haus-
wirth to make the carnation piece which
the members had ordered sent to Canton
to be placed on the tomb of President
McKinley January 29. Mr. Hauswirth
used Lawsons in a four-foot wreath,
which was shipped Saturday night and
reached Canton safely. It was a credit
to the society. The Commercial Club
held its annual banquet at the Audi-
torium last Saturday night and Lawson
carnations were used for the decorations,
which were in charge of Mr. Hauswirth.
The carnation convention arrangements
were largely left in Mr. Hauswirth *s
charge and he applied to them his in-
defatigable energy, with the result that
everything was conducted to the com-
plete satisfaction of those who contrib-
uted to the entertainment fund.

A skillful pickpocket relieved W. N.
Rudd of his watch at the Auditorium
last Thursday evening, but the house de-
tective recovered it promptly. A large
number shared in the reward.

The growers were in hopes that this
winter would let them off with a lighter
coal bill than the average to make up

over the normal temperature for Jan-

Stollery Bros, say that they have about
200 Crimson Ramblers in course of
preparation for Easter and spring sales
and that when these are gone they are
through with it. They do not find it a
profitable forcing plant and for planting
out it is unsatisfactory on the north
shore unless given special attention. To
succeed it must be planted in a big hole
with a foot of cow manure and then
heavy clay soil. And it must not be
against a wall, as so many want it.

"When the George Wittbold Co. re-
built the Buckingham place store last
summer, provision was made for a cold
storage room underneath where there are
now thousands of potted bulbs to be
brought on for spring sales, also a
quantity of rhododendrons, etc. The
room can be kept at any desired tem-
perature.

The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. reports
that Liberty is this year the most profit-
able rose on the place. They are two-
year-old plants and the first year did
not pay for their board; in fact, half a
house was thrown out. In view of this
season's results they wish they had kept
them all.

C. L. Washburn says that he took
home a few blooms of M. A. Patten's
now carnation, Mikado, after last week 's
show, and has them yet. It is a varie-
gated, with much more color than Pros-
perity.

The E. F. Winterson Co. is busy this

partment.

Kennicott Bros. Co. says the sale for

material being very popular for funeral
work.

Lubliner & Trinz have opened a branch

A. L. Bandall Co. reports a very large

J. E. Jensen on January 31 resigned

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

Business has resumed its normal con-
dition, interrupted by last week's fierce
storm. On one day, Thursday, the ex-
press companies declined all shipments
of flowers, whUe for two days and a
half there were no trains over the Balti-
more Central railroad. The wholesalers
distributed the Long cards advertising
McKinley day, but it did not seein to
create much popular enthusiasm, owing
possibly to the unfavorable weather.
Shipments of carnations were so light
that they would not have sufSced for
much more than the common business.

The opening event of this week was
Founders' day at the Union League, cel-
ebrated on Monday. There were many
distinguished guests, among them the
President of the United States. The club
house was elaborately decorated with
American Beauties, Liberties, tulips, daf-
fodils and other spring flowers, with wild
smilax and plants by the Wm. Graham
Co.

The increase in the quantity and vari-
ety of spring flowers is a feature of the
market. Single tulips are to be had in
all the leading colors. First double daf-
fodils have made their appearance, while
freesia and white lilacs are at their best.
Cattleyas have sold well but are getting
scarcer. Other orchids are about over
for the present. Gardenias are much
more plentiful and have fallen in price.
Carnations and all kinds of greens have
been selling well. Beauties took a jump
last week but, while in demand, they
have fallen this week. Brides and Maids
are scarce; many more of the best could
be used. Valley is seUing better. Vio-
lets are only in fair demand. Callas
sell welL

A Fine Decoration.
J. J. Habermehl's Sons arranged a
very handsome decoration in the ball
room of the Bellevue-Stratford on Tues-
day evening for Ex-Senator Emory's
dinner to his old associates at which
106 gentlemen were seated at a square
table adorned with long-stemmed En-
chantress carnations in tall vases. The
boutonnieres were of the same flower. The
hollow space in the center of the great
square formed by the table was com-
pletely filled by a beautiful garden
scene arranged in pink, white and green.
There were choice specimen plants of
azaleas in garden vases, with beds of
tulips here and there relieved by the
restful green of wild smilax lying grass-
like on the floor.

A New Company.

On the fourteenth day of December, in
the year of our Lord one thousand nine
hundred and four, certain citizens of the
town of Atco, in the state or New Jer-
sey, incorporated as the L. K. Peacock
Co. Their object was to form a strong
concern that would enable L. K. Peacock,
the famous dahlia specialist, to further
enlarge his big industry. In a word, as
he expressed it, to "do things as he
would like to do them." The incorporar
tors include the head men on the place.

The immediate results are a great in-
crease in land for dahlia culture and a
wonderful new packing shed. The noise
of these things having reached the Re-
view, that most progressive paper, Phil
was promptly dispatched, despite cold
and snow, to Atco to see what was do-
ing. Mr. Peacock's carriage was in
waiting, driven by a former fellow
townsman and Mr. Peacock himself was
at the greenhoilees with a hearty wel-
come.

The increase of land owned and leased
is very large. The home farm at Atco
now consists of 160 acres and the new
farm, one mile out of town on the Penn-
sylvania railroad, consists of 208 acres.
Little more than one-third of these large
tracts will be planted next season. Some
of the ground will be used for other pur-
poses, and some may be or may not be

used until the next year. It is found
that an occasional rest is beneficial to
the soil, dahlias proving as exhausting
as other crops when continued year after
year without change. It is also found that
wire worms and other pests are apt to
infest soil that has remained idle, caus-
ing great damage to the dahlia. To pre-
vent this a season of working and then
a good freezing is very beneficial.

The second important change since
last September is the addition of a very
fine storage cellar and packing shea 102
feet long and thirty feet wide. This
structure, which, though in use, is not
quite finished, is admirably adapted to
its purpose. The cellar, which is about
eight feet deep, is filled with slat bins
mostly six feet square that reach nearly
to the joists above. Each bin contains
one variety of dahlia roots in nice plump
condition, air being admitted through the
slat sides of the bins and frost being
kept out by a single steam pipe that runs
around the stone walls forming the sides.
The bins are filled by means of large
trap-doors in the shed above. The wag-
ons drive from the dahlia fields in the
fall to the shed. The baskets filled with
dahlia roots correctly labeled are handed
in through the windows or door of the
shed, passed through the trap-door and
the contents deposited in the proper bin
in the cellar below. The shed is fitted
up with long packing tables and is also
heated by steam. Above is a storage
room, in which it is proposed to store
more dahlias.

The shed and cellar have been built
and piped by the employees of the place.
It will be seen at a glance from the
above description that a great saving in
labor will be effected, as well as an
improvement in the condition of the
roots when shipped. Some orders were
ready, carefully packed. It is proposed
another season that all orders received
before the roots are dug in the field will
be packed in baskets in the shed direct-
ly the stock is received from the wagons
and then stored away until needed in the
spring. Mr. Peacock said that half a
million roots went out last spring, in
addition to 400,000 growing plants,
chiefly in 2-inch pots.

The houses are filled with dahlia roots

started about January 1 in four or five
inches of soil, very close together. Some
were not yet started. Some had eyes
just swelling, while some, among them
Mrs. Roosevelt, had shoots ready for
propagating. The propagating houses
are kept about 62 degrees both in the
sand and in the air and shaded with
muslin on bright days. The first crop
of cuttings are softer and more difficult
to root than the later cuttings.

The new arrangement will give Mr.
Peacock the opportunity to devote him-
self to hybridizing and growing dahlias,
of which he has made so marked a suc-

cess.

Various Notes.

AMCnCAN SEED TRADE ASSOCUTMW.

Pres., C. N. Pare, Des Moines. la ; First Vlce-
Pres., li. L. May. St. Paul; Sec'y and Treas.. C. E.
Eendel, Cleveland. The 23rd annual m(>etlng
will be held on the St. Lawrence, June, 1906.

The larger sizes of calla bulbs become
more scare each year.

Several seed houses made exhibits at
the poultry and fancy stock show in Chi-
cago last week.

Geo. H. Weston took charge of the
seed department at Sears, ^ebuck &
Co., Chicago, February 1.

Onion sets are now moving briskly.
The prices are $2 to $2,25 for' red and
yellow and $3 to $3.50 for white.

Visited Chicago: — Wm. A. Prosser,
rep. Ealph M. Ward & Co., New Yorl^;
Mr. Church, of the Walker Seed Co.,
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Alfred E. Wheeler has bought the
interest of C. H. Renn, in the seed busi-
ness of W. E. Marshall & Co., New
York, and becomes an active member of
the firm.

The way market garden trade opens
up, and the quantity of onion seed orders
from the locations where the specialists
operate indicate that the coming year is
to be a good one for the seedsman.

Most of the catalogues are now off
the presses and mailed. The strain on
the nerves of those who felt their books
were behind hand can now be shifted to
the getting hold of shortages to fill the
incoming orders.

Up to this date Southport White Globe
is the only variety of onion seed that is
reported scarce. Market gardeners'
strains of the Southport Red Globe and
Southport Yellow Globe are likely to be
quite short later on, as the supply will
not hold out long against the present
demand.

Oklahoma City, Okla.— Ciyde H.
Walker has sold his interest in the Okla-
homa Seed Co. to his partner, Mr.
Church, who now becomes sole propri-
etor of the concern. Mr. Church may
dispose of his holdings in a cotton busi-
ness in which he is largely interested and
assume direct management of the seed
business, or he may secure a manager
for the seed business and continue in the
cotton business. A definite decision on
this point is not yet made.

It is only those who have had some-

Enormous in London alone; but with
ramifications extending all over Great

amount of capital is embarked in the
business. There are fluctuations in the
volume of trade done; big ventures have
to be made, and large risks taken. All

NURSERY NEW&

AMERICAN ASSOCUTION OF NURSERYMEN.

Pres., B. W. Klrkpatrlck, McElnney, Tex ;
Vlce-Preo., O. L. Watroua, Des MolneB; Secy,
Geo. O. Searer, Rochester; Treas., C. L. Yates.
Rochester. The 29th annual convention will be
held at West Baden. Ind., June, 1906.

Irrigation in the west will mean as
much for nursery interests as it will for
agriculture.

Crimson Bambler roses, field grown,
are generally one of the scarce items,
but one Bochester firm is offering a sur-
plus.

TRANSPLANTING LARGE TREES.

Many nurseries now do a large busi-
ness each winter in the planting of large
trees for those whose pocketbooks are so
deep that it is unnecessary for them to
await the slow process of growth. The
elm is probably more often than any
other moved in the larger sizes and so
expert have many tree movers become
that trees sixteen to eighteen inches in
diameter are transplanted with rare fail-
ures. Of course nursery-grown trees are
most easily moved but when the right,
article is not available the nurseryman
does not hesitate to go into the woods
for a specimen which shall be worth any-

The Arrival of the Tree at Its New Location.

(Note the bareness of the situation.)

Edward Friedly, of South Dodge, la.,
is dosing out his nursery.

The Montana State Horticultural So-
ciety held its annual meeting at Helena
January 19 to 21. C. P. Dallman, of
Missoula, was elected president and W.
Spurgeon, secretary.

John Charlton & Sons, Rochester,
are re-introducing the York and Lancas-
ter rose, which has been practicaUy lost
to commerce for many years. It is one
of the hardiest varieties.

The Missoula Nursery Co., Missoula,
Mont., is introducing a new hardy red
apple originating with C. E. HoUings-
worth, of that place, and named for their
)own.

Prof. E. A. Embhison, of the Univer-
aity of Nebraska, says that in experi-
ments made last season two sprayings
with Bordeaux mixture, one just before
the blossoms opened and one just after
the petals fell, held apple scab practi-
cally in check.

There are thus far ten entries for the
prize of $1,000 offered by the Minnesota
State Horticultural oociety for a seed-
ling apple which shall combine the good
qualities of the Wealthy with the hardi-
ness of Duchess and the keeping ability
of Malinda. Competition is open to the
whole world.

Tou may continue our advertisement
in the Nursery Department of the Re-
view; results are satisfactory so far. —
Riverside Nursery Co., Confluence, Pa.

where from $100 to $250 to him wheo
replanted.

It is, of course, necessary for the soil
to be thoroughly frozen to a depth of
not less than fifteen inches. The first
process is that of digging. A circle of
about eight feet in diameter is laid out
around the tree. On the outside of this
circle a trench, large enough for a man
to work in comfortably, is dug to about
two feet below the frost line. This is
allowed to stand and freeze from the

outside in toward the trunk. When this
is frozen, the trench is continued deeper
and gradually slanted towards the center
of the tree, thereby leaving a ball of
earth of the above diameter and about
three feet deep.

After this has been accomplished, the
tree is tipped over by the use of tackle
and dirt is filled in under the frozen
ball. The tree is then tipped back so
that the ball rests on this earth, which
has just been thrown in, and dirt is
then thrown in on the other side. This
operation is repeated until the ball of
earth rests on a level vnth the ground.

At this point the wagon is run up to
the side of the ball and the tree, by the
use of tackle, is rolled over onto the
truck, great care, of course, being ex-
ercised in having the top considerably
above the ground so that the branches
will not strike when rolling the ball of
earth* In all this operation great care
must be taken in the use of the tackle
and the position in which the roots are
placed on the truck and the strength that
is exerted by the team on this tackle, as
in some critical positions a slip would be
liable to make the ball joU back, there-
by breaking the whole top.

After a tree of this kind has been suc-
cessfully loaded on the wagon it is a very
simple matter to transport it almost any
distance. In planting this, tree the hole
should be considerably larger than the
ball of earth in order to allow root
expansion in mellow soil after the tree
gets started to grow. The operation of
planting a tree of this size consists of
letting the ball of earth gradually into
the hole by the use of tackle. Care must
be taken that the tree does not fall, as
it is very hard to raise a prostrate tree
from that position.

The accompanying half-tones illus-
trative of the process of tree moving are
from protographs taken of work done
by the Peterson Nursery, who have done
so much of this work around Chicago
that a writer recentlv remarked that it
would doubtless not be long before the
tree mover will be sent for as a matter
of course, just as the piano mover, when
the family makes its annual pilgrimage.

Change in Efiect when the Tree Mover is Through.

United States, but on January 24 to 26
more than ever before were the nursery
interests of the east centered there. On
those days there were three associations
in session, the Western New York Hor-
ticultural Society, the National Associa-
tion of Betail Nurserymen and tne East-
em Nurserymen's Association. The two
latter are strictly trade organizations,
the sessions of which are open to none
save members. The Western New York
Horticultural Society is the leading or-
ganization of its kind in the country.
Wm. C. Barry, of EUwanger & Barry,
has been its president for many years
and the nurserymen of western New
York are conspicuous in the management
of this most successful society. On the
evening of January 25 there was a din-
ner given by the retail association, at
which the following firms from outside
of Bochester were represented: Nelson
Bogue, Batavia; E. G. Chase Company,
Geneva ; Clark Nursery Company, Water-
loo; George Brothers, East Penfield;
Hill Brothers, Irondequoit; F. M. Hart-
man, Dansville; Jackson & Perkins Com-
pany, Newark; George Josselyn, Fre-
donia; Maloney & Son, Dansville; Morey
& Son, Dansville; J. Frank Morris,
Brighton; Peirson Brothers, Waterloo;
W. & T. Smith Company, Geneva;
Storrs & Harrison Co., Painesville, Ohio.
J. H. Dayton, nepresenting the last
named company, was the only person
present from other than New York state.
The Eastern Nurserymen's Association
elected the following officers: Presi-
dent, W. C. Barry; vice-president, C. H.
Hawks; secretary, William Pitkin;
executive committee, Irving Rouse,
George A. Sweet, O. G. Chase, Charles
J. Brown, C. A. Stuart. The president
was authorized to appoint a committee
to act with the transportation commit-
tee of the American Association of
Nurserymen in the matter of freight
rates with a view to securing a less pro-
hibitive classification of nursery stock.

laTTiiE EocK, Ark. — J. W. Vestal has
been elected treasurer of the Arkansas
State Horticultural Society.

FoBT Wayne, Ind. — G. W. Doswell &
Son have moved their flower store to
131 West Berry street. They have also
installed a gasoline pumping outfit for
the rock well and for liquid manure at
the greenhouses.

Brockton, Mass. — On January 24 the
weight of snow crushed the roof of
Louis Derocher's greenhouses, resulting
in the loss of his stock and also next
year's cuttings. He put it at $1,000.
Mr. Derocher had been laid up by ill-
ness from July to December and the
loss is important

Osage, Ia. — Walter S. Hall reports
that the peddler who has been selling
spurious Philippine lilies even went so far
in his locality as to tell people that their
florist sent him there because he had
something especially good.

BUFFALO.

The Market

While the great eastern cities seem
to be paralyzed with a few inches of
snow, a forty-mile breeze and a hard
frost, we think eighteen inches of snow,
a seventy-mile zephyr and 10 degrees
below zero merely seasonable and it does
not disarrange any program whatever.
Nothing to complain of in the above
line and business, by some cause or oth-
er, is slowly improving. Roses keep
quite scarce. Carnations are on the in-
crease. Violets have shortened up in
quantity and a better price is the con-
sequence. Tulips and daffodils of good
quality are now plentiful and with plen-
ty of Lilium Harrisii and lily of the
valley we are all able to take care of
the orders that drift our way.

Various Notes.

I am afraid that our city supplied
but few delegates to the Chicago con-
vention. Those who could go and did
not scarcely realize what they missed.
To travel around sight-seeing more than
you can afford, either in pocket or
time, is certainly not to be commended,
yet how often does a visit to some well
ordered, up-to-date place, or attendance
at such a meeting and exhibition as
that just closed, benefit you by observa-
tion or knowledge absorbed ten fold
more than these little journeys cost.
The above remarks are for the espe-
cial benefit of some very dear friends
noar home, who possibly think that
there's "not much more to learn." Ob,
ray! Few indeed of us have any orif»-
inality. "We are simply copyists and if
we don't go out and notice what suc-
cessful men are doing we will soon lapse
into ' * back numbers.-' '

There is an effort being made in some
quarters to suppress the growing and
sale of Primula obconica. The public
press will be appealed to for assistance.
This seems hardly right. It is true, as
we are all aware, that a few people are
poisoned by it; that is, if they touch
the foliage there is an irritation of
the skin about as the bare-legged ur-
chins of the old country used to get
when trespassing on the precincts of
the "stinging nettle" of dear old mem-

ory. We don't think anybody is im-
mune against the stinging nettle, but
only the small minority feel any annoy-
ance from this beautiful primula now
so largely grown and sold. In beauty,
freedom of bloom and continuance of
attractiveness it far surpasses the Sin-
ensis varieties. If obconica bites you,
don't buy it, but let those to whom it
is harmless grow this excellent house
plant.

Prof. Cowell, of South Park, starts
in a few days for Panama. He's not
going to dig a section of the canal, but
expects to bring home several unknown

business steadily improving. Such an

Missoula, Mont.— C. F. Dallman of

They have two carnation sports which
they think will make their marks. One
is a variegated sport of Lawson and
the other a pink sport from Enchantress

CLEVELAND.

The Market

The weather for the past two weeks
has not been very conducive to business.
It has been decidedly cold and stormy.
The Eero mark has been reached on sev-
eral occasions. Business is quiet, with
the exception of funeral work, which
has been evenly distributed among the
trade, all receiving a goodly share.

Flowers are not at all plentiful and
a general clean-up is the result. Eoses
are exceedingly scarce, outside shipments
coming in to fill the gap. Carnations
are in good crop and are of exceptional
quality. Bulbous stuff is quite plentiful,
enough to satisfy all needs.

It is with much regret that I must
report that McKinley day proved an
utter failure from a retailer's stand-
point. Sunday was very cold and raw
winds prevailed. Not many people ven-
tured out, which resulted in the retail-
era having a large stock left over. The
public press came out with the announce-
ment that McKinley day would be ob-
served OB Monday, which materially as-
sisted im disposing of the surplus stock.
All the stores were decorated with car-
natioas.

Various Notes.

We are pleased to hear the report of
tlie Clevelandites returning from the con-
ventioB. All say the show was simply
mtigiuAeeiit.

At the last meeting of the club, with
a large attendance, it was the unanimous
wish to make the show on Monday, Feb-
reary 13, a banner display. Several
of the local growers will make exhibits,
which with the addition of some of the
crack growers from Chicago and else-
where should make the show a decided
success. All growers having anything
of Bierit should send same to Isaac Ken-
nedy, Secretary Cleveland Florists' Club,
care of the Cleveland Cut Flower Co.,
52 High street, Cleveland, O. It is
hoped that a large attendance will turn
out to Bake it a grand success.

Frank Smith has been spending a few
days visiting Chicago.

M. H. Harrison is in New York, get-
ting aew ideas of metropolitan style.

H. A. Hart has been asked to judge
at the spring exhibition at Buffalo.

Forest Citt.

Hagbbstown, Mo.^Henry Bester has
a variegated sport from Lawson with
all tlie characteristics of its parent. He
also has a white sport of Enchantress
which is like that variety in all save
color.

FUBKUABY 2, 1905.

PITTSBURG.

The Market

Notwithstanding the extreme cold
weather last week, trad a was very satis-
factory, the only trouble being to get
the stock. Those who were depending
01) the east for stock had hard times for
a couple of days, on account of the rail-
roads being tied up. Some stock came in
frozen. The home growers got the ben-
efit- of this, however, and the local
wholesalers report the best week of the
season outside of Christmas.

Various Notes.

The delegation from this section to
the carnation convention arrived home
on Saturday and were high in their
praises of the exhibit and also the
treatment they received from the Chi-
cago boys in the way of entertainment.
The trip to the places of the Poehlmann
Bros. Co., the Chicago Carnation Co.
and the J. D. Thompson Carnation Co.
helped make the trip a pleasure, not
forgetting the lunch at the Elks Hall in
Joliet. Taking it all in all, they report
it as one of the most satisfactory con-
ventions they have attended.

Fred Burki, J. L. Wyland and W. A.
Clarke went by way of Richmond, Ind.,
to see E. G. Hill Co. 's new rose, Rich-
mond, growing in its native soil and were
well pleased.

S. S. Pennock and E, A. Stroud, the
crack Philadelphia carnation grower,
stopped here Saturday on their way
home.

The next meeting of the Florists' Club
will be carnation night and it is ex-
p?cted that all members of the club will
be on hand for election of officers and
to hear reports from the members who
attended the convention on the best
things they saw, and they will tell you
of a number of good things beside the
prize winners, and possibly some of the
stories they heard at the banquet.

James J. Higgins, now with Mrs. E.
A. Williams, formerly of Philadelphia,
is receiving congratulations, owing to
having taken unto himself a bride. Miss
Dorothy D. Watson, of Columbus, O.

J. B. Murdock & Co., 545 Liberty
avenue, are receiving bids on a number
of new houses to be erected at Van
Emmen, Pa. Hoo-Hoo.

very limited supply even at those figures.
Carnations have also been only in mod-
erate quantity and the price has in-
creased all along the line. -

Business, except funeral work, has not
been brisk, but there has been a steady
run on white flowers. Violets are about
the only flower of which we have suflS-
eient quantity and to spare and they are
being used largely in funeral sprays
and designs. Valley and L. Harrisii are
about equal to the demand, but freesias
are in short supply. Narcissi are be-
2oming scarcer and daffodils more plen-
tiful. Good smilax and maidenhair ferns
5how the results of too close cutting and
are getting short of stem.

Varioos Notes.

John Keimers, of Stockton, employed
as a landscape gardener by the Santa
Fe railroad, was in a collision at Blum
station on Tuesday of last week.

Thos. Stevenson is devoting his entire
time to his stand in the Palace Hotel.
Business has been exceptionally good
with him since the holidays.

Serveau Bros, have filled up their
plant yard with a large stock of orna-
mental trees and plants for the spring
trade.

• There is a splendid showing of various
bulbs in flower at Golden Gate park. Su-
perintendent McLaren contemplates many
improvements in the arrangement of the
flower beds, which he will soon have
ready for the spring planting.

Geo. Eosmarin, of Alameda, handled
over 100,000 narcissus blooms this sea-
son. He has one of the largest patches
of the flower in this neighborhood.

M. Olaine, of Palo Alto, is in town.

VEGETABLE PLANTS.

To have vegetable plants ready for
planting about the first of April it is
now time the seeds should be sown.
There is a good demand every spring for
great quantities of garden truck and as
there is very little trouble in handling
them it is one of the best paying articles
for such dealers as grow this class of
goods. Tomatoes, cabbage, cauliflower,
kale and peppers are the only varieties
grown in commercial gardens. Tomatoes
and peppers should be planted about
the first of February under glass and
given a little bottom heat, either from
a hotbed or any other method. One
ounce will sow three flats and should
produce about 1,500 plants. Do not
leave the plants longer than three weeks
over the heat and at the end of the
fourth week transplant them into the
same sized flats, putting about 100 plants
in each. They should be kept shaded, if
the weather be warm, for about a week,
and after that given plenty of air and
removed outside about the end of the
eighth week, so as to harden somewhat.
Plant them in sandy soil and it is ji
good plan to have an inch of well-rotted
manure in the bottom of the flat. This
makes them vigorous and of a good,
healthy color.

The best varieties to grow in this lo-
cality are Acme for very early fruiting
and Stone and Perfection for later plant-
ing. The plants usually retail here at
about $1.50 per hundred.

Peppers should be handled the same
way as tomatoes, but will not be fit to
sell until about two weeks later. There
is, of course, not so much demand for

them and they sell for about double the
price of tomatoes.

Cabbage and cauliflower should now be
sown outside for late spring planting.
As we grow both these vegetables from
seed sown in the open air it is diflScult
to have any success with them when
planted earlier in the winter, unless the
seed be planted in September, when the
plants will have grown to be strong
enough to last through the winter. For
ordinary garden planting, however, the
middle of January to the first of Febru-
ary does very well. The beds should be
dug up and well manured and one ounce
of seed planted for every 3,000 plants
wanted. Snails, which during the win-
ter here are the greatest nuisance the
gardener has to contend with, can be
handled with slug shot.

The Early Jersey Wakefield seems to
be in the most demand here for an early
sort and Surehead for the next in suc-
cession. The plants retail for 50 cents
per hundred.

Cauliflower, while not quite as easy
to grow as cabbage, is a good seller
for the gardener and if the bed is
heavily manured the plants grow very
fast during March. The best varieties
to grow are the Early Snowball for an

The Market

Bie past week has been a busy one
for the florists here, an unusual number
of deaths bringing a large amount of
floral work. Some of the finest stock
seen since the holidays is being shown
aad brings good prices. Boses, carna-
tions and violets were never better. Vfll-
ley ia looking fine, with prices a little
higher than last week. There is a good
healthy demand for all kinds of cut
blooms. There are some fine lilacs and
sweet peas coming in. Beauties are get-
ting scarce and the quality poor. Brides
and Maids are of fine quality and in de-
mand. Liberties are very poor and very
few Chatenay are seen, but are of ex-
cellent quality. Romans, Paper Whites,
callas and Harrisii are abundant, while
tulips are scarce. The coming week
promises to be a busy one, as there a'-e
quite a number of balls and receptions
to make it interesting.

McKinley day was a "frost" here,
very few being seen wearing the carna-
tion. Some of the local dealers invested
heavily in stock but were forced to sell
at a sacrifice.

Miss M. Dalley and her sister, Julia,
are confined to their home with the
grippe.

Mann & Chiles, two young florists who
bought out Mrs. Duss, in the Gumble
building, failed last week. The stock
and flxtures are for sale.

One of the most modern, up-to-date
establishments in this city is that of the
Alpha Floral Co., on Walnut street. Their
latest addition is an improved four-
drawer cash register, costing $550, one
drawer for each clerk, making it an easy
matter to foot up each evening the
amount taken in and paid out each day.
They have also added a fire and burglar-
proof safe. They have purchased the
property at 912 East Tenth street.

Chas. Wise reports business as very
good in his line and is adding greatly
t« his stock.

D. Freudenthal reports business as in-
creasing greatly in his new location.

Miss Jewell reports business as quiet
at present, but indications point to a
steady increase.

Ed A. Tonquist, with Miss Dalley, who
has been confined to his home since
Christmas from an injury received that
day, is able to be out again.

KALAMAZOO, MICH.

Business is improving, also stock.
After a period of very dark, cloudy
weather wa are experiencing nice, bright
but cold weather.

Van Bochove Bfos. are busy building
their new place. A shed is being built
and painters will be at work as soon as
the woodwork for their new greenhouses
arrives. At the old place everything
looks as prosperous as ever.

Grofvert & De Smith have very fine
carnations, especially Joost, L&wson and
Her Majesty.

At Mountain Home cemet?ry, Mr.
Phaser, head gardener, says everything
looks well. Mr. Fraser has a very fine
house of Lawson carnations.

S. Batson has his carnation houses in
very fine shape and is cutting heavily.
He also has a lot of wallflowers planted
in benches from which he cuts blooms
for the Cincinnati market.

At the Central Nursery greenhouses
everything is looking well, especially the
carnations. Their lilies and other pot
plants are fine. Cuttings of carnations
are potted "and looking well.

J. A. Calder, an East Main street
florist whom I visited last Sunday, has
,the strongest and longest-stemmed ear-
nations I ever saw. This gentleman
grows his carnations very cool, 46 de-
grees at night. While he does not cut
heavily during the winter months, his
carnations will bring a heavy crop in
February and the spring months. Mr.
Calder wishes to retire from active busi-
ness on account of old age. His is a
small place, of about 5,000 feat of glass,
and will be for sale after June 1.

The Dunkley Floral Co. is in nice
shape. Their carnations are fine and
roses doing well, Mrs. Dunkley sent out
invitations for a social last week and the
boys had a very enjoyable time. H. M.

New Portage, O.— Snyder & Young
are preparing to put up two houses,
20x100 in the spring.

Fremont, Neb. — C. H. Green repre-
sents the florists of the state on the board
of directors of the Nebraska State
Horticultural Society.

MILWAUKEE.

If every daily paper were to feature
McKinley day as did the Sunday Sen-
tinel it would not take very long to
make it an occasion of prime impor-
tance to the florists' trade. The Sentinel
devoted the front page of its colored
supplement January 29 to a portrait of
Pjesident McKinley surrounded by a
bunch of well executed carnations with
the inscription beneath, * ' Wm. Mc-
Kinley, whose favorite flower is worn
today by a grateful and loving peopls. ' '
The Sentinel is the leading paper in
Milwaukee and the advertisement was of
great value to the trade, although the
weathsr was too cold to permit of the
wearing of carnations upon the street.

BRIDGEWATER, CONN.

All the wholesale growers and retail
dealers report a very good business dur-
ing the holidays, but trade has been a
little slow through January in spite of
considerable funeral work,

G. 0. Bouton & Son are comparatively
recent additions to the craft here, as
they started in business only three years
ago. They began with a greenhouse for
their own amusement, but the neighbors
came to them for plants and at the end
of the year they found that they had
made money, and built another green-
house next season, growing about 500
carnations and a quantity of bedding
stock. They also did quite a business
with tomato and other vegetable plants.
Last year thev built a small house for
chrysanthemums and expect to add more
glass shortly.

FIANCEE CUTTINGS.

To THE Trade: —

We beg to inform all florists who have
orders placed for Carnation Fiancee
we have been somewhat disappointed in
its refusing to produce enough cuttings
for January deliveries owing to its su-
perb habit of producing long flowering
stems only.

These stems have now been pinched
back from 30,000 plants and there is
now an abundance of excellent cuttings
coming along.

We are putting in the sand large
batches every week and expect by the
latter end of March that all orders now
on our books will have been filled. There
is an average of 20 cuttings to the
plant now in sight making a total of
600,000 available cuttings for Spring
deliveries.

Fiancee has no disease of any
kind; it makes fine strong plants by
Fall, even from May struck cuttings, in
fact it is the strongest grower of any
carnation.

We further wish to state that we in-
tend everyone shall be satisfied with the
quality of cuttings received; would rath-
er be the loser ourselves than otherwise.

Those who visited our greenhouees aft-
er the Convention can vouch for the re-
liability of this statement in the whole
and especially for quality and quantity
of cuttings obtainable.

We ask everyone to be patient and in
the end they will have no kick coming
to anyone. Chicago Carnation Co.

(Of MaceoQ

RED SPORT

This new "Bread and Butter" commercial brilliant "Crane" Red Carnation, now in its foartta
year, has the hardy constitution of General Maceo, with a stronger heavier Rrowth, longer and stiSer
stem and a larger flower. Qrowiog under the same conditions and in the same house with KlsminKO
and Esteile it has produced four times as many blooms as the former and twice as many blooms as
the latter. The color i« as good as Esteile and the bloom brings as much as does Esteile at Its beat.
Every flower is of a uniform brilliant red, perfectly double with an ideal calyx, In fact we never saw
a split one.

Bed Sport is perfectly healthy, an easy variety to grow, an early and continuous bloomer,
throwing Its heaviest cuts around the Christmas holidays and during the Winter months when red is
in demand. Bed Boorc wi 1 keep longer and travel farther than any other red carnation, and will
prove a bonanza to the grower who does a shipping business. If the scarcity of reds in the market
that now exists continues Bed Sport will pay better to the square foot of bench than any other
variety of any color to date. Every florist who has seen Bad Sport growing has placed an order
for rooted cuttings, which tells the tale. All our stock Is sold up to January 2Hh. Orders flUed in
strict rotation from that date on. Price. 12 for $1.50, 25 for $2.50. 50 for $4.00 all post paid. $6.00 per 100,
$50.00 per 1000, by express. We guarantee all cuttings to be well rooted and to arrive in good condition.

PROPAGATING DAHLIAS.

Will it do to grow cuttings from
dahlia bulbs which were produced from
cuttings last spring? I took quite a lot
of cvttings from some choice kinds last
spring, which proved to be far better
than the flowers grown from the original
bnlbs. What I want to know is if it
will do to continue growing cuttings
from bulbs produced from cuttings, or
if they will run out, or in other words
come without any blooms or imperfect
ones? If started early I believe a per-
son eould raise at least 100 plants from
a single bulb, as the cuttings will soon
produce more cuttings and so on.

L. M. B.

We have never heard that any va-
riety of dahlias deteriorates by cuttings
taken from the roots, that is, year after
year propagated by cuttings. Propaga-
tion again the same spring from these
cuttings I am not so sure about, but
if not done to excess I see no reason
why there should be any weakening of
the plant. Propagation by cuttings, as
we do onr carnations, roses and hundreds
of other plants, is not producing a new
individual It is simply a division of
the old and unnaturally keeping them,
growing and no rest.

Some plants, or even varieties of the
same species, endure this treatment for
many years; others don't. In the case
of the dahlia it is not quite the same.
In June yon plant out the stock propa-
gated from a cutting. It forms healthy
roots and tubers and you give them a
rest during winter, until the following
March or April, before starting to pro-
duce cuttings. An expert on dahlias
told m© years ago that he always pre-
ferred young plants to produce his prize
flowers. An authority writing on dah-
lias, says that a cutting should always
be cut close to a joint. If cut be-
tween joints it will grow and flower
but no tubers will be formed, only thin,
straggling roots. W. S.

New London, Conn.
No, all flower growers are not liars. Your
Pumintinc Kind Tobacco Powder fills the
bill. Clean, quick and efficaciouH. No dirty
tobacco sterna to litter up the paths and tamt
the carnation flowers with an ofiens>ve odor
that never leaves them.

DdplicatinK so often the past two

Kind Tobacco Powder is a sure in-

BUTZ BROS.

We have tried many fumigants, but
have found nothing in the market so
effectual and easily used as The Pu-

Your prices are reasonable for so good
an article.

NEW ORLEANS.

The horticulturists of New Orleans
met January 20 in Kolb 's Hotel and dis-
cussed plans for the furtherance of the
interests of the profession in this sec-
tion. President Harry Papworth presid-
ed.

Among the things discussed was the
coming state convention which will be
held here, and a fall flower show. No
flower show has been given in three
years because the society lost money on
the last one. Secretary Panter proposed
that the show, if given, be given for
the benefit of the society. A committee
was appointed to handle the subject. C.
W. Eichling recommended earnestly that
a movement be started for the inaugura-
tion of a course in horticulture in the
public schools. After his talk a resolu-
tion was adopted favoring the project.

The secretary's report showed $123
balance on hand. A committee on reso-
lutions was appointed to draw up reso-
lutions on the death of Dan Newsham,
a prominent light of the society.

PIPING.

How many runs of 1*4 -inch pipe will
it take to heat with steam a house 11x30
and one 20;x28. The two houses are at-
tached. We need a temperature of 50
to 55 degrees in coldest weather.

S. J. H.

In order to successfully heat the houses
under consideration to 55 degrees during
severe weather the house 20x28 feet
should contain a 2-inch riser under the
ridge, carried to the most distant point
from the boiler, and there divide into
two or three manifolds or coils to i*eturn
under the benches or along the side
walls, the coils so placed as to have a
total of eleven li4-i°ch pipes. About
five of these pipes should have valves at
each end, so that during warm weather
they can be put out of service. The
smaller house, 11x30, should be piped in
like manner. TJse a 2-inch riser arid seven
1^-inch pipes in the returns. In this
case it would be well to put valves on
three of the seven returns. L. C. C.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

PebruaKv 2, 1005.

DISEASED BOSTON FERNS.

I have several Boston ferns standing
side by side, all having the same treat-
ment, but some are spotted like the
enclosed fronds and some are all right.
I picked off all the spotted fronds but
the new ones show spots, too. They are
kept cool. What can I do to stop it?

H. M. K.

These fern fronds look as though they
were spotted by salty water, the speci-
mens in question being young fronds
that are scarcely half developed, but
show decided spots of brown on either
side of the center vein, the spots being
from one-eighth to one-quarter of an
inch in diameter. Ammonia from fresh
manure might also cause such an injury
though this is more likely to attack
the tips of the fronds than the pinnae.

But without further particulars re-
garding temperature and treatment it is
rather diflScult to form a definite con-
clusion for with a very low tempera-
ture and too much water when freshly
potted, there is a possibility of injury
to these ferns. A night temperature of
60 degrees and full sunlight at this sea-
son will grow sturdy Boston ferns, pro-
vided that they are potted in good rich
soil, and given sufficient water.

W. H. Taplin.

FUMIGATING SWEET PEAS.

Will fumigating with tobacco stems
injure sweet peas? M. E. G.

No, we never notiqed that fumigating
hurt the sweet peas, either leaf or flow-
er. It may do damage if overdone and
if you smoke with stems in the old-
fashioned way the flowers will have any-
thing but their delicious odor on the
following day. Use the tin pie dishes
and tobacco dust and you will escape
that stale tobacco flavor. W. S.

LiBEETY, Mo. — Paul Stark, who re-
cently met with misfortune, expects to re-
build his greenhouses in the spring.

Leavenworth, Kan. — On January 26
fire destroyed the outbuildings at the
Kline greenhouses. The greenhouses and
stock were considerably damaged.

HuNTSViLLE, Ala. — Messrs. Boyd &
Wellman, owners of the greenhouse busi-
nesB of Gustav Hoffman, have leased
the establishment to John T. Fisher.
Mr. Hoffman disappeared some weeks
ago.

BASKET STUDIES.

It will be easily observed that the
more graceful forms will be found amoDg
the round or modified round shapes in
baskets, and of these the high-arched
handles fill to the best advantage. This
follows the principle that long, easily
■curved lines most nearly approach the
beautiful. This is why Nephrolepis Bos-
toniensis is far more admired than Neph-
rolepis exaltata. The lines formed by
the leaf stalks of the former are longer
and more easily curved than the latter.

Another good point in basket construc-
tion is the close resemblance in form of
the basket outline and the form which
the handle takes. In the basket used
for the lily of the valley in the accom-
panying illustration the handle takes a
modified circular form, which description
also applies to the basket form. In the
basket used for the violets the handle
becomes a part of the basket proper,
which is even better than the first.

One of the most graceful baskets ever
manufactured and put on the market was
shallow, round-bottomed, with a handle
also round, which formed the lower
framework of the body of the basket as
it encircled the same.

A high-handled basket is most daintily
and appropriately filled when there is
ample unfilled space between the basket
proper and the top of the handle. In
other words, do not try to fill in long-
stemmed flowers from the basket to the
handle. . Trim the handle itself, elabo-
rately if desired. Fill the basket full
below, but leave the space under the arch
of the handle unoccupied, as is shown
in the two illustrations herewith. • On
the eontraiy, when a low handled basket
is used, fairly bury the handle in long-
stemmed clusters of flowers or foliage.

The first basket is simply designed,
both in color and trimming. The basket
itself is crimson. The lower part is
filled with valley with its own foliage
and the handle is nearly covered with a
garland of smilax on which are fastened
Golden Gate roses. It is suitable for a
reception table centerpiece, for display
purposes, or for presentation. For the
first two purposes no stemming or
sphagnum is necessary. Place the val-
ley in a flaring dish which will fit inside
of the basket and let the flowers be in
water. Do not use a rose bowl or any
receptacle the mouth of which is con-
fining or inclined to throw the flower
stalks m towards the center rather than
to allow them the outward tendency.

After filling in the body of the basket
with the lilies and the valley, take a
fitring of smilax of medium weight and
fasten the heavy end near the lower part
of the handle on the left side. A lit-
tle twist of fine wire will be sufficient to
do this without allowing it to be seen.
Then carry the smilax up to some point
on the top edge of the basket about one-
third of the way around toward the
right and fasten again lightlv to the
rough surface of the basket.' From

this point drop a drape in the smilax
down to the base of the outside of the
basket and up to the point where the
handle touches the top edge of the bas-
ket on the right. Secure the smilax here
in the same manner as before and follow
the handle upwards around the top to a
point slightly more than half-w.iy ilowii
the handle on the left side. This will be
about the tip end of the string. Let it

garland fasten these limp roses and let
them have their way, as is shown in the
first picture. Next place a rosette of
four or five wood ferns against the left
side of the handle, with their stems in-
side of the dish which contains the val-
ley.

If the above is wanted lor presenta-
tion the valley or other flowers which
fill the basket proper will neeii t.i
be stemmed and planted in sphagnum,
after the manner of design work. Wired
picks can be used, the foliage on about
half of the sprays being stemmed in
with the flowers. The entire valley stalk
as it is cut makes too thick a stem to be
wired to a pick. The outside sheath
should be removed, loaviujr only the in-
side stalk. Wire this carefuUj*, as the
tender stem breaks easily if wrapped
too tightly. Both sides of the handle,
front and back, should be treated the

Valley in the Basket, Golden Gate Roses on Handle.

drop where it will of its own accord,
leaving a portion of the handle bare.
Part of the way around the handle let
the smilax drop a wee bit from the
itandle ani in other place? let it co^no
over the handle. Secure here and there
with tiny wrappings of wire.' You often
have at hand Golden Gate roses which
you cannot coax to hold up on account
of weak stems. Here is the place for
them. Here and there on this smilax

same, or the garland brought round and
round the handle, the latter being the
less desirable of the two.

In the second illustration the same
simple design is followed in conformltv
with the shape of the basket. The bas-
ket is oval in form with birch bark
cover. 'The violets are placed in a
small vase of water in the basket. In
this case, also, circumstances may -e-
quire the flowers to be stemmed and in-

serted in Bpbagnum. Only the natural
violet foliage is used here for green. The
small bunch of violets tied on the left
side with light violet cord completes the
basket. The stems in this bunch are
their whole length and they thereby add
to the decoration of the handle. The

color scheme of the dark violet of the
flowers, the lipht violet of the cord and
the grey of the birch bark basket is
particularly soft and pleasant. The
style of basket and its size make a good
centerpiece for a small luncheon table or
for gift purposes. Gertrude Buor.

Care for the Lilies.

There will be no excuse for any be-
lated Japan lilies this Easter. As we
had no trouble in getting the great ma-
jority into bloom three weeks earlier last
year, there should be little need of
strong forcing this season. I don't care
how many years you have been forcing
lilies, there is always a little anxiety
whether you are too early or too late.
And it is this anxiety that makes the
successful man. The weather has con-
siderable to do with it, also how forward
they are now. If eight to twelve inches
high now a night temperature of 55 de-
grees should do very well for another
month.

Last year we advised our friends about
this time to select 300 or 400 plants
that were so backward that it would be
impossible to get them into flower by
Easter and put them away in a very
cool house and let them come along for
Decoration day. They did a few, but
not half enough. These lilies in quan-
tity fall pretty flat a week or two after
Easter, while at Decoration day there is
a good class of customers who will pay
Easter prices for a fine bunch of lilies.

It is too early yet for these plants to
be much troubled with greenfly, or rather
fumigating with tobacco dust will keep
them down, but soon the time will
be here when the fly will be deep
down in the rosette of leaves, looking for
those small, tender buds that are not
yet visible and there is, I think, no
doubt that the twisting and splitting
of the petals in the mature flower are
caused by the puncture of the aphis when
the bud is very small. Nicotine extract
sprayed into the crown will fix them.
We have used this nicotine at a strength
of 300 of water to one of the nicotine,
but for the lilies would rather use it
weaker, say 500 of water.

Start ♦♦Green Goods" Now.

It is a good time now to sow seeds of
three most useful plants. Asparagus
plumosus and Sprengeri and the old,
every-day smilax. Don't buy the aspara-
gus because you see it advertised cheap.
Old seed is very dear as a gift and there
are many complaints about its not germ-
inating. Asparagus plumosus is in con-
stant demand as a decorative vine in
short sprays for finishing oflf a cluster
of flowers. For fern dishes there is
nothing surpasses it as a small, bushy
plant, either alone or mixed with ferns.
Of Sprengeri we never have too much.
"With large bunches of flowers it is indis-
pensable and it can be grown along the
edges of paths and in situations that
would otherwise be vacant. But you
Must give it an abundance of root room

and liquid manure. It may pay you to
buy 100" strings of smilax when you
need it. but it is very awkward to be
without any I on your place, and for a
paying crop you want good strong 3-inch
stock to plant about July 1.

Cinerarias.

You may be growing some cinerarias
for Easter. "We think we can remember
it's introduction to the gardens of Eng-
land, a wee small flower by the side
of the present beautiful blossom. Free
growing, cold blooded plant as this is, it
is easily made a failure. Neglect water
and you will lose its best foliage. Over-
watered and it will go right off dead
like grandfather's clock, "never to go
again." And the greenfly is ever ready
to feast on it. In a commercial place
there is no excuse for this, as plunging
the pots in tobacco stems and renewing
them every few weeks will effectually
keep the greenfly away. There is at
present a very fine lot of cinerarias in
bloom at our North park and John

Cameron, the foreman, tells me thay
were never fumigated. About 45 de-
grees at night is plenty warm enough
for cinerarias. Wiluam Scott.

A BLACK FLY.

We have a black fly in our green-
houses similar to the housefly but much
smaller. Fumigating with tobacco stems
or nicotine extracts seems to have no
effect on it. It seems to speck the lily
blooms badly. How can we get rid of
it? D. A. L.

We know of no fly at all comparable
to the common housefly that infests a
greenhouse and if they do not trouble
the plants they do not belong to the
aphis family. It may be worth mention-
ing that the writer many years ago
brought the greenhouse fumigating pot
irto a kitchen, thinking to destroy the
lives of 10,000 houseflies. We filled the
old kitchen so full you could not see the
end of your nose, yet the flies only
enjoyed it.

The hydrocyanic acid gas must destroy
these flies, big or little, as it does every-
thing that has lungs. Do noA be afraid
to use it. The formula has been given
in these pages many times, but once
more here it is: One pint of water, one
pint of sulphuric acid. Mix in a gallon
butter jar. Add to the above two and
one-half ounces of cyanide of potassium.
These quantities are for 2,000 cubic
feet of air space in the house, so the
number of jars you need will depend
on the size of the house. It should be
done after dark and keep the ventilators
closed all night. There is not the slight-
est danger, but do not tarry. Just drop
the little parcel of cyanide into the jars
and walk along towards the door; neither
will it injure any plant. W. S.

A GOOD WHITE.

Can you suggest a good, free-flower-
ing, medium sized white carnation to
grow? I find Norway and Queen Louise
too slow in blooming after the bud
forms. I want a kind that blossoms
quickly and freely, like Scott or Lord in
pink, one with good stem and not liable
to burst. C. L. W.

There are several good varieties on
the market no#, especially among last
year's new ones. The best of the old
ones are, perhaps. Her Majesty and
Boston Market. Much better than these
however are Lady Bountiful^ Vesper and
Moonlight, all of which are as free,
besides being much larger.

Begarding varieties developing slow-
ly or rapidly, it might be of interest to
relate our experience in a few tests we
made last fall and it was a surprise to
us how little difference there was in the
time it took some fifteen varieties to de-
velop their buds. On September 6 we
selected and labeled one bud on each
variety, choosing shoots that showed
buds in as near the same stage of de-

velopment as possible and just as young
as possible. The buds were just plainly
visible. Here is how they developed and
were ready to cut: Her Majesty, Oc-
tober 7; Moonlight, October 9; New
Daybreak, October 14; Lawson, October
8; Beatrice, October 8; Queen Louise,
October 6; F. Hill, October 5; Lady
Bountiful, October 8: Lorna, October
13; Indiana Market, October 9; G. H.
Crane, October 13; Crusader, October 8;
Innocence, October 8; Enchantress, Oc-
tober 7; The Belle, October 6; Adonis,
October 14; Harlowarden, October 14;
Floriana, October 10.

By this you wUl see that it took on
an average oi about five weeks to de-
velop the blooms from the time the buds
made their appearance. The difference
might be even less than is shown here if
it were possible to select the buds to a
day, but that is impossible. Nor do the
fullest blooms always take the longest
to develop, as is shown by Enchantress
against Adonis and Harlowarden. Of
course this does not show any variety's
capacity for producing a crop rapidly,
as such a test must begin much earlier,
but I was merely curious to know just
how long it does take a bud to develop
from the time it appears and the differ-
ence in time required by the different

Queen Louise, of which he complains,
was one of the first to bloom. Only
Flora Hill was ahead of it.

CARNATION NOTES.-EAST.

Treatment of New Arrivals.

Cuttings of any variety you may buy
of another grower need somewhat dif-
ferent treatment than those rooted on
your own place, and this is especially
•true in the case of new introductions.
The necessary handling in packing for
shipment and delay in getting into soil,
damages the tender roots to some ex-
tent and consequently these are apt to
be slower in starting than if potted at
once on being taken from the sand.

With a new variety for which the
demand for cuttings is large, it is rea-
sonable to suppose that the introducer
is obliged to caxry the temperature of
his cutting bench a trifle high to keep
pace with the orders, so perhaps the
stock will be a little soft, but no harm
will result if treated accordingly, giv-
ing extra close attention to shading,
watering and spraying.

Some may call a rooted cutting any
part of the plant, large or small, which
has been inserted in sand and taken root,
but it is questionable whether all could
be called cuttings that are so inserted.
I have always obtained the best results
by purchasing unrooted cuttings and
would advise all who have good facili-
ties for propagating to follow this plan;
we would hear less about its taking two
years to get a new variety on a pay-
ing basis.

Be sure your soil is prepared well in
advance, thoroughly warmed up and
free from bone meal, wood ashes or
chemical fertilizers. The best results
may be looked for if pure rotted sod
alone is used. Use clean pots and give
the stock a bench worthy of its record.
Cuttings of new varieties are of neces-
sity higher in price than those of older
sorts and every one is entitled to strong,
healthy stock, but do not think be-
cause you pay $10 or more for a hun-
dred cuttings that you can abuse them
by potting in rich soil and rush along
in a high temperature, with a view of
obtaining more cuttings from the tops.

If you were present at the convention
and were influenced by their appearance
there, to invest in any new varieties,
get all the information you can regard-
ing their requirements, but remember
you were viewing exhibition blooms,
every one selected and grown with ex-
treme care. If you succeed in growing
blooms to score ten or fifteen points
less, you should be satisfied.

SHEEP MANURE FOR MULCH.

On page 465 of the Eeview for Jan-
nary 19, H. B. G. asks about sheep ma-
nure as fi. mulch and Mr. Baur says to
use a 4-inch pot of bone meal with a
bushel of sheep manure and spread it on
a half inch thick. At the same time
Mr. Baur says to feed lightly. What
would he call heavy feeding? We cer-
tainly should not venture to put on a
half inch of sheep manure at one time.
A good handful for every three plants
vrill be suflScient. For a feed this season
we have used the following mixture and
are sure it is all right: Chie bushel well
rotted cow manure, two quarts lime, two
quarts wood ashes, four quarts bone. But

A Birch-Baric Basket of Violets.

don't make a mulch of it or it will show
how strong it is. A. Laub & Son.

When I wrote my answer to H. B. G.
I meant just what I said. A half inch
of sheep manure will not harm your car-
nations if they are in good condition and
need feeding. If they are not in good
condition, then you had batter not feed
them at all. Perhaps I should have said
a scant half inch, and no doubt it would
be safer to use less rather than more than
a half inch.

Many growers are needlessly afraid of
sheep manure. While it is a much strong-
er manure than cow manure, yet it is
not so strong as many imagine. Two
years ago some of our men were mulching
a bed of mums with cow manure. The
material ran short when there were a few
feet more to cover and instead of asking
for advice, they finished it up with sheep
manure applied one inch thick. When I
discovered it I expected those plants to
turn yellow and die, but instead they took
on a fine dark green color and grew as
well as any of the others.

Of course carnations will not stand as
much as chrysanthemums will and I have
never used over a half inch on them, but
I have used that much without harm. A
half inch of loose material is not much.
You will fihd that most of it will wash
into the soil in a very short time. Now, I
also know that sheep manure will vary
greatly in strength and it is always safest

to experiment a little before putting a lot
on the benches to sse how much is right
to use. We have used a good inch of
sheep manure in the bottom of a 6-inch
pot when potting calla lilies and visitors
wondered what caused the plants to grow
so strong after the pots were apparently
full of roots.

I fear Laub & Son are like many oth-
ers, laboring under the mistaken idea that
sheep manure is a dangerous article to
handle. I would advise them to experi-
ment a little, just to find out for them-
selves how much sheep manure a carna-
tion plant will stand, when the plants are
in good shape — and they should be fed
only when they are in good shape.

The composition Laub & Son describe
is several times as strong aa the sheep
manure and bone as I recommended it
and I certainly would not advise anyone
to use more than a good heavy sprinkling
of it. We prefer to use bone and manure
without lime. The lime makes it act
quicker and therefore makes it stronger
at the beginning. A. F. J. Baur.

TEMPERATURE FOR WATER.

Is water taken direct from the city
mains at 40 degrees too cold at this
time for use in watering carnations f'
What is a practical way of warming it?

too cold to water your plants with. In
fact, a few years ago I noticed an ac-
count of some experiments made with
water at various degrees and, if I re-
member right, the plants watered with
water at about 38 degrees made the best
growth of all, although the difference
in any of them was slight. If you want
to heat the water have a sort oi a drum
made of o-inch or 6-inch pipe and about
six to eight feet long. Attach this
drum to your steam pipes and keep it
full of steam when watering. Kun the
water pipe through this steam drum and
you will find it tempered considerably
after going through it. There may be
better ways, but I have seen this method
in successful operation.

OUTIXX)R CARNATIONS.

Please name the best summer blooming
carnations for outdoors, say one white,
one pink, and one red. L». M.

If I had to confine myself to three old
varieties for summer blooming carnations
I would choose Flora Hill for white,
Crocker for pink, and Crane for red.
However, we also grow Indiana Market
and Moonlight for white and Beatrice
for light pink. A. F. J. Baxjr.

A GOOD son-
Please tell me what constitutes a good
soil for carnations. K. H. B.

A soil suitable for carnations should
be of a rather light sandy character,
with plenty of fibre in it. This should
be taken from the top spit of pasture
land and should be put into a neat pile,
with about one-fifth of decomposed horse
manure added. This should be chopped
up and turned over several times previ-
ous to placing it on the bench. R.

LEAF-MOLD FOR SOIL.

Last August I went to the timber,
found some sandy land and scraped
away the dry leaves and took about an
inch of soil from the top of the ground
and mixed it with black loam and ma-
nure two years old, one quarter manure,
one-quarter black soil, and filled my
benches five inches deep with the mix-
ture. I set my plants in it the last week
ill August and I have had an abundance
of flowers since Thanksgiving. I have
carnations now three inches in diameter
and stems twenty-eight to thirty-four
inches long. The stems are stiff and
erect, carrying the flowers upright. I
tell you, they are nice! I am going to
put them in next fall the same way
again and I believe if anyone wants to
try my experiment he won't lose any-
thing by doing so. Alfbed Bunnion.

WHERE QUALITY IS WANTED.

I am growing carnations in a house
18x40 and want quality rather than
quantity. I have liQchantress, Prosper-
ity and Mrs. Lawson, which are doing
fine. Other varieties, such as Patten,
Manley and Golden Eagle, are fair.
Would like a good white, as Wolcott
bursts badly. I saw some blooms of
The Belle which were fine but have never
seen it growing. I must grow them all
in one house. What varieties would yon
recommend t W. H.

Lawson, Prosperity and Enchantress in
their respective colors where quality is
the main object. You will find Lady
Bountiful more satisfactory as a white
than The Belle. Flamingo wiU give you
a fine quality scarlet. You can tell
better than I how they should be planted
in the house, as you know which bed is
the warmest. Lawson, of course, wants
the most heat, while Enchantress wants
to be grown cool, the others medium.

A. F. J. Baur.

SOIL FOR CARNATIONS.

I would like to ask if there is any-
thing that could be done with the soil in
the field that would be of any benefit in
growing carnations? The soil is of a
very hard nature, although I have put
on a little manure every season. Would
there be any danger of getting on too
much for the carnations? Would sand
spread on the land be of any benefit?

W. S. H.

You can hardly improve upon Mrs.

Perhaps the best way to get your
soil into a lighter, more mellow condition
would be to manure it heavily and sow
clover on it for a year or two. How-
ever, if you are obliged to use it this
summer you must find some other way.
Too much manure is not good, as it is
apt to start stem-rot, but you need not
be afraid to put on a good coat if it
is mostly straw. It should have been
put on and plowed under late in the
fall, so it would be pretty well rotted be-
fore planting time. To spread on a lot
of sand and plow it in might help some,
but I think a good dressing of wood
ashes will do more to loosen up the soil
than the sand would. Also be sure it
is well drained. All the manuring and
doctoring will do but little good if the
water stands on it much of the time.

CARE OF CUTTINGS.

The Chicago Carnation Co., Joliet,

111., supplies the following directions,

printed in its catalogue, for the care of

young stock:

As soon as received from the dlstrlbnter. they
should be potted In 2-lnch pots by experienced
men, who must nse great care and judgment.
Too many young carnations are potted too
deeply; that is. the root crown Is burled from
three-quarters of an Inch to one Inch below the
surface of the soil. This is wrong. The root
crown should not be more than a quarter of
an Inch below the surface of the soil; still
they should be so firm that when watered they

will not topple over. Use a soil that has never
been in a greenhouse before. If your soil is
heavy or on the clayey order, add clean, sharp
sand In proportions that will permit of good
drainage and easy action of the young, tender
roots. As soon as potted, place In a house
with a temperature of 60 degrees at night and
not over 60 degrees in the daytime. Give them
a thorough watering at first, after which great
care must be exercised that they do not be-
come too wet or too dry. Strong draughts of
air should never be allowed to strike them,
nor should they be exposed to the direct rays
of the sun until they show signs of taking new
root action and signs of growing or straighten-
ing up of the leaves. It is a good plan to use
strips of burlap for shade during the lightest
hours of the day, taking same away entirely
as the sun disappears, leaving them exposed
to all the light possible, except sunlight,
until they have hardeoed up, when all shade
should be taken away.

If these instructions are followed. It will
be only a short time until you can turn the
plant with the ball of earth out of the pot and
examine the roots. If the bottom of the ball U
well covered, it is a sign they are ready for
larger pots or the field, as the case may be,
according to the season.

A BELATED LETTER.

When William Scott, of Buffalo, found
tliat his health would not permit him to
attend the Chicago convention of the
American Carnation Society, he acted on
the suggestion of a member, and wrote
a letter which was intended to have been
read at the meeting. The letter went
with some other unopened mail into the
overcoat pocket of President Hartshome,
and overcoats not being in demand where
meeting and lodging were all under one
roof, did not come to light until after
adjournment. Here it is:

Dear Mr. Hartshobne: Your tele-
gram received. It always touches a soft
spot when you have prooi that distant
friends have you in mind and hope for
your health and prosperity.

You can hardly realize the keen disap-
pointment it is to me not to meet you
all in the marvelous city of Chicago. Of
all interesting, instructive and socially
enjoyable meetings that the year evolves,
there is to me none so heartily enjoyed
as the Carnation Convention. An ag-
gregation of scientific, practical and ear-
nest men intent on the development and
improvement in culture of the glorious
carnation! If the wonderful develop-
ment of all desirable qualities in the di-
vine flower during the past fifteen years
cannot be attributed to the influence of
our society, much of it can. It has stim-
ulated men to make wise selections in
crossing flowers. It has imparted to
thousands the most up-to-date culture.
Its annual display of blooms is an honest
tribunal and if a flower does not come
up to the standard required of the day
it quickly passes into oblivion. Finally,
it has impressed on a number of good
men to concentrate their talent, skill
and perseverance on the culture of the
carnation, and when that occurs im-
provement and evolution must follow.

There are no foolish sports injected
into the meetings to disturb the business
of the convention and attract the light-
brained brigade away from what they
came to see and hear. Perhaps (I say
i»uardedly, pernaps) some of the staid
ones may retire to a secluded room and
have a little game with a moderate limit,
but that is no business of the convention,
as it is usually after basiness hours, that
pleasant time between business and bed
iinie which Phil Hauswirth calls the
"Go as you please period."

Had I the good fortune to be with you,
I might have had the honor to say a
few words. I had prepared a Magnifi-
cent ( ? ) address ; I regret for your
sakes that you will miss it.

convention, Mr. "Baur, of Indianapolis,
rpt>ried to the splendid entertainment
and banquet given by the Detroit men.
Hie said some men could tell a most hu-
morous story and then change vi^ith true
eloquence to the beauties and influence
of our moral calling. Of course he had
in mind E. G. Hill. Continuing, he said
other men could only stand up and string
together a lot of alleged jokes and sto-
ries. That shot was undoubtedly meant
for W. S.. so I was going to surprise
Mr, Baur by being serious. I was going
to review the improvement in the car-
nation since the time we grew a few hun-
dred each of La Purite, Edwardsii and
President De Graw, which was the win-
ter of 1872 and 1873, and I say that in
the opinion of the writer you could
count on the fingers of one hand all the
varieties that have marked an epoch in
carnation culture.

From the date quoted there were long,
dreary years with little attempt to im-
prove. True, there were many varieties
a slight improvement on preceding kinds,
but not enough to be startling or that
could be grown successfully by the great
majority of gardeners. I shall skip over
many varieties that were widely grown.
If I have not grown most aspirants to
favor I know the career and reputation
of the very great majority. From that
day to this hundreds of varieties have
arisen like the morning sun, passed
quickly over the zenith of their fame and
dropped into darkness. Numbers of
others ended their career almost at their
birth.

The first really great carnation to
break the dark ages was Daybreak,
which was sold by the raisers for the
exorbitant price of $300. The next
really great carnation was my name-
sake, a compliment by Messrs. Dorner
that I shall always remember. Another
six or seven years elapsed and then the
greatest advance of all was sent out by
Peter PMsher — the immortal Mrs. Law-
son. Again in three years it fell to the
skill of Mr. Fisher to give us the last
carnation that I can say marked an
epoch — the easily grown, grand En-
thantress.

I think among the chosen few should
be included the gorgeous Prosperity. Al-
though not grown profitably by all, it
has size and beautiful markings decid-
edly its own.

I am not unmindful that there have
been several notable breaks in color:
The well known Buttercup, but few
could grow it. C. W. Ward's fine crim-
sons and Mr. Hartshorne's splendid and
easily grown Harlowarden, but if I in-
cluded those as milestones, then dozens
of others would have to come in.

As for those not yet disseminated,
proof of their being classed among the
immortals is not yet given.

In conclusion, I sincerely hope that
Fiancee, Robert Craig, Cardinal, Fred
Burki and others may prove all that
they am)ear at present, for there is in
their respective colors great demand and
need of them.

Hoping that the convention will be an
unqualified success in every respect, and
that the Chicago boys will not bankrupt
themselves in their royal hospitality, I

remain.

"Very truly yours,

Showing the Several Methods of Firing a Boiler.

ECONOMY IN THE USE OF FUEL.

Practical florists and experimenters
have given much attention to the con-
struction of greenhouses. They have
increased the size of the glass, thus ma-
terially lessening the number of sash
bars necessary for a given area of roof.
The old, cumbersome wooden frame has
been replaced by pipe and steel Bup-
porta All this has contributed to im-
prove the conditions of light for the
plants. The relation of radiating surface
to glass area to maintain certain tem-
peratures is now being appreciated and
carefully considered by commercial grow-
ers. The one problem which has been
neglected, except during periods of ex-
treme prices, such as during coal fam-
ines, is that of the economical us3 of fuel.
This is one of the factors which must
always be reckoned with and it is the
one in which, through improperly con-
structed or poorly set boilers or by im-
proper firing, more loss will occur than
through any other single factor. The
kind of fuel to bs used in any case will
be determined by the type of the boiler
and the method of firing to be practiced.

In small plants, where hot water is
used and where a special night fireman
is not employed, it is almost an absolute
necessity to use some grade of anthra-
cite (hard) coal. Anthracite coal is the
only grade that can be used in magazine
heaters or in small fire box, cast-iron heat-
ers to advantage. As a rule, however,
it is not the most economical form of
fuel. The price per ton is usually much
higher for the larger sizes of anthracite
than for bituminous or even for small
sizes of anthracite. In steam generating
plants where constant pressure is re-
quired and where a fireman is continually
in attendance soft coal or No. 1 or No. 2
buckwheat anthracite is most used. Boil-
ers which will properly use the buckwheat
anthracite will also burn soft coal.

The comparative value of these coals is
somewhat as follows in a steam gener-
ating plant: Semi-bituminous (soft
coal) at 100 is equivalent to No. 1 buck-
wheat at 80 and No. 2 buckwheat at 68.

The larger sizes of anthracite are not
generally used to generate steam and
relative values for comparison are not
at hand. It is safe to say, however, that
in generating plants its value would not
be much in excess of the soft coal, ton
per ton. It is evident, therefore, that
everyone contemplating the installation
of a heating plant should give close at-
tention to the kind and cost of fuel used.

The next important point i." the type
and setting of the boiler. All things
considered, the return tubular steel boiler
is the most economical type for either
steam or hot water heating in connection
with greenhouse work. The economy of a
boiler is measured by the transmitting
power of the heating surface and the area
of the heating surface. The more easily
and quickly the heat reaches the water
and the greater the area brought in con-
tact with the heated gases, the greater
the eflSciency derived from the fuel used.

Following this is the proper construc-
tion of the walls used in setting the
boiler and in the proper covering of the
flow pipes not directly concerned in heat-
ing. About twenty-two per cent of the
heat in coal escapes by the chimney in
the best boilers, one per cent is lost
through the grates in unburned coal with
the best of firing and with careless firing
the waste may be increased many times.
About five per cent is lost as direct ra-
diation from the boiler itself and two to
three per cent more in the flow and re-
turns not used in heating the plant, mak-
ing in all about thirty per cent of the
total value of the coal. The best of
boilers working under good conditions are
capable of delivering for heating pur-
poses only about seventy per cent of the
heat in the coal. The greatest care and
economy should therefore characterize
the choice and management of a heating
plant.

Even different methods of maintaining
a fire determine to large degree the effi-
ciency derived from the coal burned. The
accompanying sketches show the dif-
ferent forms which coal in a furnace
may assume.

Figs. 1 and 2 show cross sections in

^^y: r.

both directions of a furnace with the
coal heaped high in the center. It la
easy to see that the air flow through a
heap of this form will be uneven. It will
be greatest at the edges. A great amount
of cold air will be allowed to pass through
the thin edges. This will act to cool the
gases thrown off by the smouldering fire
of the deep portion and the best use of
the coal will not be attained.

Figs. 3 and 4 show the two types of
wedge firing which are practiced by many
firemen. This method has the same objec-
tion as the conical style just spoken of.

No. 5 illustrates what is known as the
scoop method. This method is not con-
sidered as good as No. 3 or No. 4, but is
au improvement over Nos. 1 and 2, pro-
vided the center is not too thin.

No. 6 shows the lever or "pancake"
method in which the fire is maintained
at a uniform depth over the entire grate.
Here the passage of air is nearly equal;
the cooling effect is the same in all parts
of the furnace. The heated gases are
more uniform in temperature and a higher
eflScieney is possible than with any of
the other types. The depth of the fire
that can be carried in any case must be
governed by the draught and by the effi-
ciency of the dampers. When it is possi-
ble a damper control should be employed
so as to maintain as constant heat as
possible.

In firing it is well to coal one side of
the furnace at a time. Allow the bright
side of the fire to burn down to almost
a gray color before coaling. Open only
one door at a time if the furnace is pro-
vided with double doors. Take a small
amount of coal on the scoop and spread
it evenly over the area to be coaled.
When the opposite half has burned down
it should be coaled in like manner.

Two methods of banking fires are often
used. In one the bank is made just inside
the furnace doors and in the other it is
made against the bridge wall. The latter
has the advantage that the front part of
the grate can be cleaned and clinkers re-
moved before the fire is spread. After
the fire is spread the back part can be
cleaned by raking the ashes through and
jumping the clinkers over the fire.

In conclusion I would say, look out for
the waste at the boiler room. Get the
best type of boiler; use good but the
most economical full measured in results
both in temperature and cost of firing,
and then fire intelligently. Make the
fuel return you seventy per cent of its
fuel value in the houses. In order to ob-
, tain this, however, the houses must be
correctly piped. L. C. C.

RETURNING CONDENSATION.

We read with interest the inquiry, and
more particularly the answer by L. C. C.
on the above important subject, on page
r)37 of the Review for January 26, and
are rather surprised that a high pressure
and an automatic atoam-pump is not re»'-
ommended, because we believe that set-
ting the boiler on a floor the same level
as the greenhouse floor, carrying from
thirty to fifty pounds pressure on the
boiler, using a regulator on the main
steam-pipe near the boiler, reducing ile
pressure on your heating system to one,
two or five pounds, according to the wea-
ther, and using an automatic steam
pump to return condensation is the most
economical on fuel, most convenient to
manage, labor saving and affording the
best control of temperature in the houses.
We know of one very large establishment

where three acres of glass were heated on
the gravity system. A few years ago
they erected another three acres and put
their battery of three or four large boil-
ers on the same level as the houses and
since that the superintendent has done
little but cuss the boiler pit of the old
gravity system and its extravagance of
fuel.

The high pressure system with the re-
ducing valve and automatic pump may
be installed in a thousand establish-
ments for all we know, yet we are in-
clined to think this most satisfactory
system is not as generally known and
adopted as it deserves. An illustration
of how smoothly it works can be seen
at the Cottage Gardens, Queans, N. i.,
at Peter Crowe's, Utica, N. Y., and at
the very large LJakeview Rose Gardens,
Jamestown, N.Y.

Briefly, your boiler should be tested
to seventy-five pounds cold water pres-
sure; that's enough. Then set your
safety valve to blow off at fifty pounds
and you are more than safe.

Get a good regulator valve (we have
the Mason, manufactured in Boston, cost
.$45; another good one is made by the
Fester Engineering Co., Newark, N. J.),
that will reduce the pressure on your sys-
tem to one pound or what you need. We
use two pounds in mild weather and
never over five in the severest weather.

The automatic steam-pump wiU cost,
for a place of the size described, about
$100. The top of the drum or cylinder
into which the condensation falls must
be a few inches belowi the level of the
condensation pipe where it leaves the
level of the greenhouse floor. It works
smoothly, noiselessly, no wear and tear,
and is a joy and comfort.

Don't think for a moment that keep-
ing thirty, forty or fifty pounds on your
boiler will use more fuel. Those who
liave an opportunity to compare quanti-
ties say the high pressure is a saving
of at least twenty-five per cent. We
cannot judge of that because we have
no other system and would never think

of having any other. Steam at a pres-
sure of forty pounds will be hotter and
dryer than steam at three or four
pounds, and once you have got forty
pounds on the boiler it does not take as
much fuel to keep it there as sending
all you make out through a pipe at low
pressure. There is so much to be said
in favor of this system that I will "shut
off steam" and close by saying that we
feel sure that in future there will be
few holes dug in the ground for boiler
pits to break your necks in descending
and labor hard throwing up the ashes.
Go and inspect some place where the
high pressure, regulator and automatic
pump are in use and you will be con-
vinced of its many advantages.

THE OLD-FASHIONED FLUE.

Not many of the younger generation of
florists have had experience with the
brick flue, because few have been built
within the last fifty years, yet many .
were the beautiful exotic flowers and
fruits produced with this primitive
method of heating. On page 568 of the
Review of January 26, T. F. complains
of a flue that does not draw satisfactor-
ily in a house fifty feet, although it has
a rise of thirty inches. A^ your able
correspondent, L. C. C, replies, a chim-
ney 120 feet long (this means ^ue and
chimney) would naturally be slow. We
suspect that in building this flue the all-
important point has been entirely ne-
glected. Within a short distance, say
about a foot from the end of the fire
bars, the flue should have a quick rise,
two feet in three feet, or, better still,
three feet in four feet rise. After that
the flue can run around to the chimney
almost on a dead level, although perhaps
a grade of six inches in 100 feet is bet-
ter than a dead level. Your rise of thir-
ty inches in the 100 feet is of no use,
unless you have that quick rise from the
fire to the level of the horizontal flue in
the house. W. 8.

CARE OF YOUNG STOCK.

The care of young stock should now
be one of the most important duties and
should not in any wise be neglected, as
neglect at this season will be reflected
in the plant in its whole existence. Re-
potting should be strictly attended to so
that no check may occur by which the
young wood may get unduly hardened.

Young Beauties are especially sensi-
tive to checks of this nature and should
be potted just as soon as they require

it, as if they once get a check of {\iis
kind they rarely get entirely over it.
To keep thsm growing and also prevent
that rank, soft growth it is safest to use
half-inch shifts and pack the soil firmly.
As soon as the young roots begin to turn
brown it is time to repot, as this is the
stage where if they are allowed to stand
pot-bound, and especially during hot
weather, the foliage soon begins to suf-
fer, the wood to harden and the roots
to lose their freshness and, if they ever
do recover, much valuable time is lost in
building up the plant.

Tea roses also should be repotted after
each successive growth and should never
be allowed to make two growths in the
one size of pot. If the first growth is

strong and healthy the second growth in
that shift will be certain to bs of a
weaker nature and should consequently
be avoided.

During potting operations keep the
potting shed free from draughts and do
not allow the plants to stand around
longer than is absolutely necessary, as
the tender foliage and wood are very
impatient of sudden, fluctuations of tem-
perature and draughts. After repotting
make certain that the freshly added soil
is thoroughly moistened throughout. This
is best done by going over the pots with
the sprinkler, lightly and frequently in-
stead of giving them a soaking, which
is apt to make the soil muddy, a condi-
tion which should always be avoided.

It is also important that the material
on which the pots are to be placed should
be clean, fresh and porous, in order to
have good drainage, and for this purpose
there is nothing better than screened
ashes, which can always ba had, and so
long as they are fresh few worms will
trouble the young plants.

Green fly and spider should never be
allowed to get a foothold among young
stock, as it is diflScult to oust them and
the effect of their presence is very weak-
€ning.

A temperature of 56 degrees at night,
with a day temperature of 65 to 70 de-
grees with free ventilation, will keep the
young stock healthy and stocky and,
while the growth may not be very rank,
they will be in good condition for May or
June planting. Ribes.

SCmZOPHRAGMA HYDRANGE-

OIDEa

The illustration represents a very fin^
specimen ^f this beautiful hardy climbfr
in the grounds of the A. W. Blake es-
tate, Brookline, Mass. Probably this
plant is better known as the climbing
liydrangea and is frequently called Hy-
drangea scandens. While supposed! v
only hardy as far north as New York
city, quite a number of excellent speci-
mens are to be met with in Massachu-
setts.

It is difficult of propagation, although
it can be raised from seeds, layers or
well ripened cuttings in August. When
first planted it usually makes very slow
growth, but once it gets established in
a suitable exposure it makes surprising
headway. For covering walls or trunks
of living trees nothing better can be
found. Its flowering period is in late
June or early July, but even without

flowers its bright green foliage makes it
very attractive.

Henry Wild, head gardener on the A.
W. Blake estate furnishes the following
notes in regard to the specimen figured:

"The schizophragma is, as near as I
can learn, some twenty-five years old,
or at least it has been planted about
that time here. It was for some years
growing on an oak, but has done much
better since it was planted under an
American walnut with a south exposure.
It is thirty-four feet in height and flow-
ers freely each year without any special
treatment. The soil is a good yellow
loam, manured the same as the rest of
our lawn, except for an additional top
dressing of bone and wood ashes during
showery weather in May. It has never
had any protection whatever during my
stay here, eight years. A few years
ago I cut back the leaders in July to
get a more bushy growth, and it has
flowered more freely since that time. I
attributei the free flowering to the fact
that the nut tree with us is one of the
first to shed its leaves, which gives the
summer growth of the hydrangaa a much
better chance to become well ripened
and has, no doubt, a beneficial result in
hardening the wood to stand the winter.
Our lowest temperature here was 13 de-
grees below zero in 1904."

Here in North Easton we have a large
plant also growing on a nut tree with
a cold northern exposure. It had always
bloomed freely until last summer, when
it produced very few flowers, some of
the shoots being also killed back. It,
however, made excellent growth during
the summer. Last winter was abnormal-
ly cold here, on forty occasions the ther-
mometer falling to zero or below, our
lowest being 30 degrees below zero. Any
plant which will withstand such a winter
may fairly be described as reliably
bardy. W. N. Craig.

THE BEST SWEET PEAS.

The majority of the seed lists con-
tain so many varieties of these most
popular of all flowering annuals, that to
the uninitiated it is a little bewildering
to know what to order. We notice that
Henry Eckford, the well known English
specialist, gives notice in his present
season's catalogue that he intends to
discard quite a number of sorts next
year and that he only lists certain kinds
flow because some people still ask for
them. We hope Mr. Eckford 's lead will
be generally followed and that lists will
be severely pruned another season.

While a laree collection is interesting
to some private growers, the average
trade producer needs one or two sorts
onlv <Jf a few decided colors. For early
forcing purposes there are only two te-
llable sorts, Mont Blanc and Burpee's
Earliest of All. For sowing after De-
cember almost any sort will succeed.
The varieties we will mention are more
particularly for outdoor culture and are
the results of careful trials each year.

In whites, Mont Blanc is still worthv
of being retained as an early bloomer.
If restricted to one variety, we would,
however, grow Dorothy Eckford, which
is a distinct advance on Blanche Bur-
pee. We consider this the finest white
yet produced. Burpee's White Wonder
is a fine variety. The flowers are con-
siderably smaller than those of Dorothy
Eckford, but are carried four to seven
on a stem. In primrose or pale yellow
shades, Hon. Mrs. E. Kenyon, of a love-

ly primrose color, is decidedly the best,
being larger and better all around than
Mrs. Eckford.

In light shades of pink, Countess of
Lathom, of a cream tint, shaded with
soft flesh pink in the center, is the
best, Lovely being its nearest competi-
tor. In deeper shades of pink there is
nothing equal to Prima Donna. It will
give three and four flowers per stalk,
while Katherine Tracy gives but two.
and much stronger stalks, too. In the
popular orange or salmon pink shades,
MJss Wilmott is superior to both Gor-
geous and Lady Mary Currie, having
larger flowers borne on stronger stems.
This color is very popular in all the mar-
kets. Under, artificial light on a dining
table it is superb.

In rose shades, Lord Eoseberry and
Prince of "Wales are both good, the for- ,
mer being rather the better. It has
flowers of a rosy carmine color. In
scarlets, King Edward VII is easily the
leader. It is unfortunate that Scarlet
Gem bums so badly, for it comes nearer
to a true scarlet than any sort yet in-
troduced. We hope a sun-proof selec-
tion from it may be obtained. While
King Edward VII is a trifle paler than
Salopian, it has larger flowers and
much longer and stronger stems.

Lavender blue shades are very popu-
lar. Here Lady Grisel Hamilton stands
at the top of its color, although many
growers still handle Countess of Radnor.
Deep blues are not in much request. Navy
Blue and Captain of the Blues are the
best. In maroon shades, Duke of Suth-
erland is good. Among the variegated
varieties, Blanche Ferry is still far the
most popular and seems to be every-
body's sweet pea. Mrs. Joseph Cham-
berlain and Bamona are also desirable.

If restricted to one variety of each
decided color we would select: White,
Dorothy Eckford; primrose, Hon. Mrs.
E. Kenyon; light pink. Countess of La-
thom; deep pink, Prima Donna; sal-
mon pink, Miss Wilmott; rose, Lord
Eoseberry; scarlet, King Edward VII;
lavender blue, Lady Grisel Hamilton:
deep blue, Nayy Blue; maroon, Duke of
Sutherland.

Some very promising novelties are be-
ing introduced this season. Of these
Countess Spencer, with some of its se-
lected seedlings, and Gladys Unwin
promise to be desirable acquisitions.

MASSACHUSETTS GARDENERS.

E. A. Qark, Jamaica Plain.

William A. Eiggs, on the E. A.
Clark estate, Jamaica Plain, is a well
known exhibitor at the Boston shows.
His chrysanthemums have been espec-
ially good. Of these he grows all the
newest and best exhibition sorts. A
bttch of bushy little plants in 5-inch
pots on a shelf will develop into ex-
hibition specimens later. Cuttings are
already in the sand or potted off, of
many to be grown as single stems next
season. In carnations Enchantress easily
takes the lead. Flamingo will be dropped,
proving too shy. Queen as a white
v.ill be displaced by White Lawson or
Lady Bountiful. Lawson as a dark pink
is producing better than Nelson Fisher.

A division of Bride and Maid roses
looks very well. One of Beauties was
off crop at the time of our visit but had
been yielding well. Some extra fine
specimens of Begonia Gloire de Lorraine

and cyclamens were noted, also extra
good plants of Erica melantbera and aca-
cias in variety. Cyclamens were seriously
affected by the mite, but a batch of
Primula stellata was fine. The grapery
had not yet been started. One divisioo
is devoted to orchids, mostly cattleyas.

Laxz Anderson, Jamaica Plain.

One of the finest of the new places
near Boston is that of Larz Anderson,
Jamaica Plain, where Duncan Finlayson
presides. There has been no stint of
money in laying out this seventy-five-
acre estate. The Italian garden is prob-
ably the finest in America and from
spring to fall contains a succession of
beautiful floral effects. The green-
houses are quite numerous and were
built by the Lord & Burnham Co. three
years ago. The rose divisions are de-
voted to Brides and Maids, with some
Morgan and Mrs. Oliver Ames on the
front benches.

In carnations, Fair Maid is found the
most prolific of all. Queen will be
dropped for White Lawson, which is
well liked. Lawson still does well, al-
though a fair percentage of burst flowers
are seen. Flamingo is not free enough
to be worth retaining.

A fine lot of Gardenia florida free
from the "yellows" were flowering
freely when I saw them. Azaleas, Prim-
ula obconica, cyclamens and other plants
are grown in quantity. Lilium ckndidum
is well liked and largely grown.

A nice collection of orchids is already
secured. Some fine Dendrobium Ward-
ianum were in bloom and some extra
good Dendrobium mobile would soon
succeed them. Coelogynes and Cattleya
Triana? were also in season. Three divi-
sions are devoted to grapes and one to
nectarines. A large and finely built
pit is used for storing bay trees, Irish
yews and other evergreens used in the
Italian garden. Another pit is used for
azaleas and bulbous stock. Numerous
cold frames are filled with violets, daisies
and other spring flowering stock for
the Italian garden. Mr. Finlayson is
a first-class practitioner and has every-
thing in fine shape.

Joseph H. White, Brookline.

Brookline, the wealthiest town in
America and a suburb of Boston, is
thickly dotted with fine private estates.
One of the most interesting is that of
Joseph H. White, where James Wheeler
has charge. The principal range of
houses here is a little over 300 feet in
length, there being other smaller houses.
A fine, roomy palm house contains a
collection of clean and well-grown
specimens. In roses, Bride, Maid and
Wootton are handled. These were clean
and vigorous. Enchantress loomed over
all others in the carnation house. Flam-
ingo and Nelson Fisher are not free
enough. Mrs. Patten looked well and
showed several distinct sports. In the
violet house a small batch of a distinct
ntw variety was noted. It is more free
flowering than Princess of Wales, with
stronger stems and rounder flowers. The
foliage is more prostrate and hairv than
in Princess. This variety will be grown
in quantity next season. Divisions de-
voted to peaches and graneS were still
dormant. W. N. Craig.

As long as I remain in the business
I must have the Review; it is the best
paper for the trade. — ^S. B. Ritter, Port

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

Business is very brisk, with sufficient
demand for nearly all the good flowers
coming into town. Shipping orders are
an important feature, certain lines of
choice stock being very scarce at times.
Spring flowers are increasing in qnanti*
ty and variety. Double daffodils and
fancy freesias are plentiful. The Leo
Niessen Co. has a novelty in acacias
sold in bunches of a certain size irre-
spective of the number of flowers.

Great preparations are being made for
St. Valentine's day. Both Pennock and
Niessen will have blue forget-me-nota
and the latter pansies, while violets bid
fair to b3 very fine and plentiful at all
the wholesale houses.

Wyndmoor,

There have been many changes dur-
ing the past two years at John Burton's,
marking progress in the developing of
the business. The number of roses
planted in ground beds is steadily in-
creasing and will continue to increase,
Alfred Burton says, till only enough
bench room is left for propagating and
growing the young stock.

It is worthy of note that the propa-
gating plans are so extensive as to pre-
clude the probability of carrying over
many old plants. The new Lord &
Burnham range, three old houses turned
into one covering 56x130, with iron gut-
ters between the ridges is planted en-
tirely with Beauties in solid beds. They
have done good work. The planting of
Liberty has been largely increased.
Among the other roses noticed were
Bride, Maid, Gate, Bon Silene and
Safrano. The two latter are rarely seen
now. The east ends of the houses are
now protected by a covered way stretch-
ing nearly from one shed to the other and
a new office has been added. Mr. Bur-
ton no longer believes in setting the sash
bars twenty-four inches apart, the weight
of recent snows having broken some of
the glass set in this way, while the glass
set the 16-inch way held.

The plans for rebuilding the Lons-
dale place include running the houses a
little south of east and north of west
with the idea of securing an hour more
of sunshine in the winter months. This
will bring the western end of the houses
seventy-iive feet farther from Willow-
grove avenue than the eastern end.
John Burton is a man who has the rep-
utation of doing everything well and it
is always a pleasure to visit him and his
place.

Variotfs Note*.

Wm. J. Muth states that the Phila-
delphia Cut Flower Company's business
has shown a most gratifying increase
over last season, both in December and
in January. Mr. Muth has been getting
some very fine Brides and Maids, also
Enchantress and Vesper carnations with
which he is most pleased. He is experi-
menting with individual tags wired on
the pot labels by which each consignor's
stock is kept separate and checked as
sold. This is in opposition to the grad-
ing system, where all consignors share
and share alike on the sales of each
grade in proportion to their contribution
to that grade. A very useful, natural
cold storage plant holds the galaz leaves,
hardy ferns, etc., until spring.

Appleton & Burrell, builders, have
taken out a permit and begun work on

M. Bice & Co.'s new flre-proof building
at 1220 Bace street. The architects are
Frank Miles Day & Bro., who designed
Horticultural Hall. The work is to be
completed by May 15.

S. K Lukens, of Burlington, N. J., is
sending 500 of his long-stemmed pure
white freesia to the Leo Niessen Co.
daily.

Charles E. Meehan, whose clever ma-
nipulation of the holiday Beauty market
won the admiration of bears and bulls
alike, naively states that he prefers sell-
ing gardenias to Beauties because they
don't stick your fingers and you can get
more in a box!

Edward Eeid is again in the lead with
sweet peas, no less an authority than
A. B. Cartledge declaring the stock sent
him this week was the finest he had ever
seen.

Mr. Hunter, buyer for J. H. Small &
Sons, Washington, D. C, was a visitor
in this city recently.

Joseph Black's Sons & Co., Hights-
town, N. J., sent a very fine white seed-
ling carnation to the Flower Market
this week. It is a cross between En-
chantress and Hill, large, full double
and fragrant, with long, stiff stem.

Edward A. Stroud, of Overbrook, is
sending double scarlet tulips, which 'ap-

M. Bice & Co. are offering unique lan-
terns in all shades, for use over electric

In answer to Question No. 27, pub-
lished last week, G. C. W. writes: "Q.
C. W. started the discussion on fakirs
because he is chairman of the committee
whose duty it is to start discussions
and, furthermore, he was requested to
do so by John Jones. Isn't that under-
standable! Phil is perverse, I think."
It is unusual to propose doing what one
does not wish done. I believe this has
ceased to be a live issue in this city.

The MarkeU

The weather of the past week, which
was very cold, had a bad effect on the
retail trade throughout the city and
there is very little doing except funeral
work. Transient trade during the cold f
days was out of the question with the
down-town establishments. Among the
up-town florists a few small decorations
were reported. Thursday of last week
was ground hog day and, as the sun
shone brightly, the growers will have to
content themselves while shoveling coal
for six weeks longer. The wholesaler
also had to suffer during the cold
weather. Some shipments came in frozen
and a total loss to the consignor.

In roses fancy stock is scarce, espec-
iallv in Brides and Maids. The second
and third grades are more plentiful.
Carnations, too, are not over-plentiful
and all kinds of stock is selling fairly
well. Lawson, Enchantress, Wolcott and
Estelle are among the fancies that sell
best. Good scarlets seem very scarce of
late. All whites sell well. Violets have

been quite plentiful, with the demand
only fair. Best Galifornias sold as low
as $2.50 per thousand. Southern stock
is looked for soon, which will cut into
the value of home-grown stock. Romans,
Paper Whites and lily of the valley are in
over-supply. Von Sions, freesias, tulips
and Dutch hyacinths are coming in, but
are not as yet too many. Harrisii and
callas make up the collection in this stock.
The cut of smilax has been quite heavy
of late, with some demand. In other
greens everything is plentiful.

Various Notes.

All of the St. Louis Florists' Club's
delegation who attended the meeting of
the American Carnation Society at Chi-
cago last week are home and loud in
their praise of the show and the treat-
ment they received in the hands of the
Chicago boys.

The committee on revising the consti-
tution and by-laws of the St. Louis Flor-
ists' Club met Thursday afternoon at the
Missouri Athletic Club rooms. The com-
mittee is composed of Otto Koenig, Emil
Schray and Fred H, Meinhardt. Their
report will be read for this week's meet-
ing of the club.

Edward Buechel, manager of the Bies-
sen Floral Co., who broke his leg in two
places just before the holidays, is pro-
gressing nicely but it will be March 15
before he will be able to resume his
place.

C. Young & Sons Co. are making prep-
w-ations for a busy spring business.
James Young, who is in charge of the
down-town store, reports the trade has
been good with them in seeds and bulbs,
also in the cut flower department.

William Borche, the landscape gar-
dener, is busy making plans for laying
out two large tracts of land for the Park
View Eealty Co. and Richmond Heights
Realty Co., which are just north of the
World's Fair grounds.

C. DeWever, who has charge of the
conservatory of the Lewis Publishing Co.
in the extreme western part of the city,
has all his plants in fine shape. It is
reported that the company will make a
few new additions to Mr. DeWever 's
department this spring.

It was reported that the Growers'
Club, which is about to organize, would
exclude wholesalers and retailers. This
may have been incorrect, as we hear of
one wholesaler and a number of retailers,
also ex-members of the local Florists'
Club, who were present at its informal
meeting last month. The second meet-
ing will be held Thursday night, Febru-
ary 9, at 8 o'clock.

The Market

Zero weather is never conducive to
good business in the wholesale cut flower
market and during the past week we
have had temperatures ranging to 14
degrees below; Tuesday was the only
mild day. The result has been that local
trade haa been practically paralyzed.
Those retailers who depend upon tran-
sient business have been doing nothing
at all for a week and the demand haa
been solely from those who do a telephone
trade, and even they have not been ae-
tire. Shipping business continues fair,
Init also influenced by the severe weather.

Very heavy packing has been necessary
to make stock travel safely.

The Beauty crops are passing oflf and
prices have stiffened materially. On the
other hand, the tea, roses are at length
coming into crop after a period of sus-
pended growth due largely to the cold,
dark weather. If we were to have a week
of good bright weather we should have
an inundation of Brides, Maids and
Chatenay which would tax the resources
of the market. Practically everyone's
houses went off crop about holiday time
and have been slowly gathering headway
for a big production as soon as the
weather turns favorable. Prices have
weakened a trifle with the slack demand
this week.

The receipts of carnations have in-
creased in the last few days and this,
coupled with the decrease in demand,
has had the result of making prices very
weak on colored stock; whites are doing
better and, indeed, are sometimes not
t(i be had because the call is largely for
funeral flowers. The receipts of violets
are not so heavy but returns show little
improvement. Harrisii lilies are not
abundant but there are callas for all re-
quirements. Paper Whites and Romans
are not now conspicuous but there are
plenty of jonquils and daffodils. Tulips
are beginning to assume something like
good quality. The best seller is La
Reine but good reds do nicely. A good
many of the retail stores are handling
tulips in pans and find them good sellers
as dinner table centerpieces and the
prices at which the cut stock can be had
ip detracting from the value of other
flowers.

Reinberg's Season's Building.

Peter Reinberg has within the last few
days acquired five acres of land on
Foster avenue from M>s. A. M. Schafer.
The property is vacant at present but
it won't be long. Mr. Reinberg has not
yet decided whether he will cover it all
this season or leave a part for next
year. He had planned to build five 500-
foot houses at "the farm," a piece of
land a couple of miles away that he ac-
quired a year or two ago, but this is now
given up.

In addition to building a good-sized
range Mr. Reinberg proposes to rebuild
about a dozen houses which are not old
but which have wooden gutters, which
waste space.

Use More Papers.

The E. F. Winter son Co. voices a very
general report in the following words:
"Numerous eastern shipments of violets
and other stock have arrived in Chicago
during the past few days in a badly
frozen condition. This was largely owing
to the fact that packages were insuflS-
ciently wrapped and, if we may suggest
it, it might be a good thing for you to
publish this fact, with a caution to
shippers to take more pains with regard
t(> wrapping packages better for western
shipment during the balance of the
winter season. ' *

Various Notes.

George Theilman, whose place on Di-
vision street is one of the oldest stands
in the city, died on Saturday at the home
of his mother in California, where he
had been for several months. He had
been in poor health for a long time,
though very robust in appearance and
when he left home was suffering from
a disease of the throat which rendered
him speechless and finally caused his

death. He was about 42 years of age
and leaves a widow and five children.
Mrs. Theilman has been active in the
store for years and will continue the
business. There are also two brothers
in the trade in Brooklyn.

Fire destroyed the greenhouses of
Philip and Charles Schmitt, in Rogers
Park, on February 4. The fire occurred
before daylight and two employes sleep-
ing above the boiler room had narrow
escapes. The loss was from $5,000 to
$8,000.

The Kennicott Bros. Co. report having
received their second carlot of wild
smilax, with the third car on the way.
This is the first season they have handled
this specialty in quantity and are well
pleased with the volume of business.

The George Wittbold Co. has a Bundy
steam-trap which they say gives very
g(.od satisfaction in returning the con-
densation. Most florists use the More-
head and Wittbold 's also have this trap
giving excellent service. The Bundy is
made by the Griflfing Iron Co., Jersey
City, N. J.

Wietor Bros, have several houses of
Beauties which have been dried off and
have just been started up from which
they expect to get the stock which will
enable them to repeat their successes
of the past two summers.

The last of the carnation convention-
ists to depart was C. W. Ward, who
remained in this vicinity till Saturday.
He will be here again at the time the
American Peony Society meets, in June.

There are good reports of the condi-
tion of stock at Fritz Bahr's at High-
land Park, especially Lawson carnations
and plants of cyclamen and primula.

The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. has sent
out seed of its new aster on orders re-
ceived from England, so far has its fame
and its advertising extended.

Word has reached this market that the
Lutey Floral Co., Houghton, Mich., is in
financial difficulties with liabilities of
$13,000. They were large buyers here
at one time.

There was a meeting Monday at which
an effort was made to reconcile the ob-
jecting creditors to the proposed plan
for continuing the business of M. Win-
andy.

Adam Zender is planning to build in
the spring four more rose houses which
will average 25x200.

Fred Sperry, of Vaughan & Sperry,
has been on the sick list again this
week.

C. M. Dickinson, at Hunt's, is more
than busy with the annual catalogue.

Fire did some damage in John Man-
gel's store February 1. The principal
loss was on stock frozen.

Ground hog day was bright and fair
with the temperature 20 degrees below
zero at Bassett & Washburn's.

V. Siegel, manager of the Columbia
Gardens, Butte, Mont., is in town buying
stock. ^

The club will hold an important meet-
ing to-night.

Cards have been received announcing

BOSTON.

The Market.

Weather conditions have been against
a good market for some days past.
While we are not having such abnormally
low temperatures as a year ago, zero
temperatures have been common and
readings much lower in many nearby
towns. The ground hog came out of his
hole on February 2, shivered in the hard
frozen snow for a short time and, see-
ing his shadow, sneaked back into his
hole again. This means six weeks addi-
tional winter, so coal piles are likely to
be materially reduced ere the gladsome
springtime comes.

The severe weather has frozen out the
fakirs nearly altogether and much re-
duced purchases from storekeepers. As
a consequence flowers have not sold so
well as could be wished. Eoses continue
in short supply and prices remain about
the same. Select carnations have aver-
aged $3 per hundred, more selling below
than above this figure. Violets are some-
what lower. Best stock has gone for
50 cents to 60 cents, poorer grades sell-
ing at 300 for $1. Double and single
yeUow narcissi are quite abundant and
a good many Narcissus poeticus omatus
are coming in. Ldly of the valley has
only sold moderately well, although of
fine quality. Callas and Lilium Hani-
sii are rather scarce. Green stuff re-
mains about the same.

Horticultural Society.

At a meeting of the board of directors
of the . Massachusetts Horticultural
Society on February 4 ten new members
were elected. It was voted to hold a
public demonstration 'of methods for
fighting the brown tail moth in April
within the Boston limits.

Prof. John Craig, of Ithaca, N. Y.,
gave a splendid lecture before the society
on February 4 on "Findings of an Or-
chard Survey in Western New York."
There was a large audience who thor-
oughly appreciated the lecture and^ en-
joyed the numerous stereopticon views.

Alexander Opg, gardener to Mrs. J. M.
Sears, showed flowers of some very fine

seedling amaryllis on February 4, A
plant of one of "Veitch's new varieties
was unfortunately frozen in transit. Mr.
Ogg also showed a nice lot of Gardenia
flcrida.

The main exhibition hall will be used
for the exhibition on February 11.
Carnations will be shown in large quan-
tities and quite a number of the novelties
will be seen.

The garden committee held a meeting
February 4 and laid plans for the work
during the present year. Prizes are
this year offered for best estate of not
less than three acres, of between one
and three acres (latter must be in Mass-
achusetts) house of chrysanthemums in
pots, house of chrysanthemums for speci-
men blooms, herbaceous garden, peony
garden, house of cucumbers, house of
lettuce and vegetable garden. Entries
for visits should be made to W. P. Eich,
the secretary of the society. Schedules
of all prizes offered for 1905 may be
had on application to the secretary.
They include also the prizes offered by
the American Eose Society.

Various Notes.

The next meeting of the Gardeners'
and Florists' Club will occur on February
21. The lecturer will probably be W.
W. Eawson, of Arlington, and his sub-
ject "Vegetable Culture Under Glass
for Market."

William Nicholson and Allen Peirce,
who returned from their peregrinations
following the carnation convention the
past week, are enthusiastic over the Chi-
cago meetmg, which they pronounce the
greatest ever. They visited Joliet, Eich-
mond, LaFayette, Cincinnati and other
points OD their way home. Witterstaet-
ter's seedlings quite took their fancy
and they could hardly find adjectives
strong enough to express their admira-
tion for the Eichmond rose.

G. B. Comley, the Bedford florist, had
the misfortune to lose his dwelling by
fire on January 29, it being totally des-
troyed. His greenhouses happily escaped
injury.

Newtonville greenhouses are shipping
some grand Bride and Bridesmaid roses
to the Park street market.

Recent victims of the prevailing
epidemic include William Watcher and
William Anderson, of Anderson & Wil-
liams.

Donald Carmichael 's new cerise colored
carnation seedling continues to attract
much favorable comment at the new
market.

A delegation from the new market
made a tour of the Framingham carna-
tion establishments the past week. The
party included Messrs. Carmichael, Ayer,
Foote, Barr, E. Montgomery and Eoper.

Peirce & Sons are forwarding extra
fine Prosperity and Enchantress carna-
tions to Park street market.

Hoffman had an effective window at
his Massachusetts avenue store the past
week. A large bank of Enchantress car-
nations filled the center, with well grown
lilacs and azaleas at the sides.

Axel Bjorn, who has been operating
a flower store on Tremont street for some
time, left Boston on February 6 to take
charge of the orchid collection of Dr.
J. F. Shaffer, Pittsburg, Pa.

Oakes Ames leaves on February 10 for
a botanical trip to Cuba, where he will
remain some weeks.

Many of our nearby towns and cities
continue to take energetic measures for
the suppression of the brown tail moth
plague. The city of Salem paid a bounty
on 375,000 nests destroyed last year,
containing some 12,000,000 caterpillars.

Henry W. lolenberger, for the past
six years orchid grower on the estate of
Mrs. J. L. Gardner, in Brookline, leaves
March 1 to take charge of the new estate
of N. W. Harris, the well known banker,
at Lake Geneva, Wis.

John McFarland, of North E'aston, is
shipping 4,000 extra fine valley each
week to the new market. N. F. Comley
has a fine assortment of tulips at the
same stand.

A. A. Eaton is in Florida collecting
native orchids for Oakes Ames, of North
Easton. He may go to Colombia a little
later.

Several fine new private estates in
this vicinity will be added to the exist-
ing number at an early date. One of the
finest will be in North Easton, where F.
L. Ames has just purchased a block of

S. J. Goddard finds Lady Bountiful

Speaking of the complaints from some
sources of the latter not being pure

It is with much regret we hear of the
commitment to the State Insane Asylum
of A. F. Belcher, the well known florist
of Foxboro, who has done a flourishing
business in that town for many years.
During the past year Mr. Belcher .was
anxious to dispose of his business in order
to be free from its cares. It was at his
own request that he was removed to the
asylum for treatment. We sincerely trust
he may soon be restored to his former
health. His place, which is an old
established one, is for sale.

NEW YORK.

The Market

We had a taste of Chicago weather all
through the week, the thermometer hug-
ging zero until Sunday night, then, came
more of "the beautiful," ending Mon-
day morning with a downpour of rain
and streets the slushiest you ever saw
in the heart of winter. Tomorrow it
will be on its way to zero again. The
vagaries of the New Yark climate can-
not be expressed in English.

Saturday saw a change in prices for
the better, especially in Beauties. The
finest of these touched the dollar mark
and the few of this grade arriving were
well worth the figure. The supply is far
below the demand. Everything else ex-
cept roses seems to be abundant and con-
cessions have to be made often to make
room for the abnormal shipments of
carnations and violets. The latter seem
to have lost prestige sadly this year and
there seems little hope of a revival. The
very finest specials seldom go above 75
cents and ordinary stock goes slowly at
times at 25 cents per hundred. Not
much enjoyment in this for those enter-
prising Rbinebeckers who have the build-
ing craze again developing. Carnations
and valley are very abundant. The stock
is of the finest, but the prices are on

the dumps and some of the stock gets
there, too. There is no let-up to the
avalanche of tulips and narcissi. Per-
haps the street merchants will lift the
shadows. They will if the warm spell
continues. Once upon a time these gen-
try were a menace. Now they are a
relief system for congested markets and
an acknowledged necessity.

The big balls are still to come. The
intervening days before Lent are crowd-
ed with enjoyments. Dinners, receptions
and decorations come now with credit-
able rapidity and with better weather
there ought to be good picking for every-
body until March 8. Then lentils and
sackcloth and sadness. But Easter is
already in the air. Six or seven weeks
soon fly past and the consummation of
the season's patient endurance comes
with reward for all. This ought to be
the greatest Easter the trade has ever

sesn.

The Qub Dinner.

The annual dinner of the New York
Florists' Club at the St. Denis Hotel on
Saturday evening was a great success.
Nearly seventy were present and every-
body had a delightful evening. The
table decorations included the finest or-
chids, roses and carnations and the gen-
erous donors deserve the sincerest thanks
of the club. The proceedings were en-
tirely informal. Tommy Baker and his
vaudevillians providing a constant en-
tertainment in song, music and story tell-
ing that kept things moving every mo-
ment until midnight. President Traendly
was handicapped by a bad cold, which
made his voice almost inaudible at the
close of his address. Toast-master Wal-
ter Sheridan read a telegram from the
west that demonstrated a movement there
in behalf of Mr. Traendly for the office
of president of the S. A. F., which cre-
ated a demx)nstration like President
Roosevelt's in volume and enthusiasm.

The other officers of the club spoke
briefly and Messers. Esler, Bums, Stew-
art, Wallace, Totty and O'Mara in
speech, song and story "seen their duty
and done it welL" The popular songs
introduced by Tommy Baker were used
for chorus effect by the diners with tell-
ing gusto. The menu was voted the real
thing and did credit to the dinner com-

mittee, Messrs. Sheridan, Haffner and
Weathered.

With the Growers.

A brief call at Guttman's rose grow-
ing plant at Summit, N. J., last'week re-
vealed many improvements, a fine growth
of Maids and Brides and every indica-
tion of a prosperous and advancing busi-
ness. Mr. Weber, of Whitestone, was a
visitor and afterwards attended the
Orange dinner, as did Robert Berry, the
old time gardener, now on the staff of
Fred Kelsey, the nurseryman.

A call at John N. May's found that
gentleman slowly convalescing from a
severe illness. By the courtesy of Harry
May I enjoyed a hurried trip through
the immense establishment, where 125,-
000 square feet are devoted almost en-
tirely to roses and carnations. Every-
thing under his management is in per-
fect order and batokens practical skill
and experience. The Bride carnation here
reigns queen in its own home and a
large space is devoted to it. It is a pure
white of remarkable bearing quality and
exquisite perfume. The MacArthur rose
is at its best and great quantities are
being propagated. A house is devoted to
La Detroit. Bon Silene is cultivated
here and there is never enough of it for
the New York demands. The whole
plant gives evidence of competent man-
agement.

A brief visit to Ferd. Boulon, of Sea
Cliff, L. I., this week was most inter-
esting. Mr. Boulon has been for over fifty
years, in France and this country, in
the nursery and florist business. He
has fourteen acres in the heart of the
town and has lived here during the past
twenty years. His growing of single
violets is far the largest on Long Island.
About 20,000 square feet^f glass make
up the floral section. He has a pink
sport from Lawson which has all the
best characteristics of its parent and will
be exhibited at the next club meeting.
Like all French horticulturists, he is an
enthusiast and in love with his business.
He bears his sixty-five years well. So
much for living close to nature's heart.
He has lately added to his home and
office facilities, installing electric light-
ing and otherwise modernizing his prop-
erty. I ,

"With a zero temperature without, a
visit to the warm tropical orchid estab-
lishment of Lager & HurreU, of Summit,
N. J., was especially enjoyable on Fri-
day last and a study of lie unique stock
of orchids in numberless varieties of
great interest. The firm has now three
houses 25x150 feet, one house 25x200

plans are out for another large house

much is grown suspended from the roof
as on benches. The imported orchids
now on hand include a lot of Cattleya

C. Percivaliana is nearly over and there
will be a shortage of cattleyas in the
immediate future and for about six
weeks. The next variety to come in
bloom will be the chaste Cattleya
Schroederae, others following, such as C.
Qaskelliana, C. MossisB and C. gigas. A
few of the gorgeous C. Dowiana are still
in bloom. Of white orchids there are
quite a few, notably Phalsenopsis ama-
bilis, Dendrobium formosum and some
Lsalia anceps alba. Large quantities of
mixed orchids are grown for cut flowers,
some of which are dendrobiums in many
varieties, Cattleya SkinneW, oncidiums
in variety, fancy cypripediums and many
more. Of the list mentioned there aye
now in floi^r the following: Cypripe-
dium Mastersii, C. Sallieri pictum, C.
Barbato-Mastersii, C. Curtisii purpura-
tum, C. Bragaianum, C. calypso Oak-
wood variety, C. Veraixium, etc.

Variotu Notes.

The carnation night of the Florists'
Club next Monday will bring out a great
attendance of visitors and ladies and the
exhibits already assured are of rare inter-
est. Some of the greatest novelties of the
carnation family will be on hand. Mr.
Nugent has a fine surprise up his sleeve
in the appetizer line and the entertain-
ment in speech and dance and Scottish
melodies will make the evening long to
be remembered. The Bowling Club will
hold a special meeting and bowl at the
club's alleys at 3 o'clock. Dates will

be set for the matches with Hoboken and
Madison.

Arthur Herrington, of Madison, was
prevented from bowling with his club
and from attending Sie Orange and
New York club dinners by a severe con-
gestion of the lungs. He is out of dan-
ger and will soon be himself again.

J. Seligman and G. Trippel have
formed a partnership in the wholesale
line, with headquarters at 56 West
Twenty-sixth street.

John A. Foley, with N. LeCakes &
Co., and manager of the cut flower de-
partment, was married January 22 to
Miss Butternail, of Newark, N. J. Mr.
Foley is a favorite on Twenty-eighth
street and the boys have been busy for
a week congratulating him.

The New Jersey Floricultural Society
held its tenth annual dinner last Friday
evening at Orange. Many visitors from
New York and other towns were pres-
ent.

A delegation from the club's outing
committee visited Glenwood on the sound
last Sunday and its members were unani-
mous in their admiration of the resort
as an ideal place for the annual holiday
in June.

Cedar Court, illustrated in the Review
a few weeks ago, was damaged by fire
to a serious extent last week, half a
million dollars being lost and the mag-
nificent mansion, with its priceless con-
tents, badly damaged. James Fraser is
the superintendent on the estate.

"W. Elliott & Sons will move May 1
to a new location, 201 Fulton street,
where they will occupy the whole building.
This is their first move in a generation.
The second and third floors will be de-
* voted to the auction business. The stand
is a good one and the lease long.

In our last week's notes the name
Mrs. Fenrich was erroneously used for
Mrs. Leikens. There is no Mrs. Fenrich
yet and when it happens "the reliable
house" will take good care of her.

Albert W. Wadley, son of Albert Wad-
ley, of Wadley & Smythe, has bought
seventy-five acres of fine land at Broad
Brook, N. J., on the Raritan river, which
he will use for nursery purposes, mov-
ing his family there in March and mak-

ing it his permanent home. The section
is one of the best for his projected en-
terprise in Jersey. Mr. Wa^ey has been
in the florists' business with Wadley &
Smythe for many years.

CAPAQTY OF BOILER.

I have a tubular boiler ten feet long
and forty-two inches in diameter, con-
taining thirty-four 3-inch flues. How
many horse-power is itf What size of
fire box ought it to havef

M. E. G.

Your boiler would be rated as twenty-
five horse-power. To successfully fire it
with hard coal it should have a grate
area of nine square feet; for soft coal
the area of the grate can be reduced
about one-third. I would advise , making
the fire box at least three and one-half
feet in length and build it flaring from
the grate upward, so as to accommodate
the boiler. This will then make a fire
box about two feet eight inches by three
feet six inches, which will be a good
size for small anthracite, such as pea
or buckwheat, and if it gives too much
draught with soft coal a grate bar cam
be removed at each side and the space
temporarily filled with brick, or a line
of bricks may be placed along the side
walls of the fire box on top of the grate
bars and in this way reduce the grate
area. L. C. C.

Washington, Pa. — The officers of the
Washington Floral Co., for 1905 are:
President, J. M. Dickson; treasurer, W.

BREEDERS' CONVENTION.

The American Breeders' Association
held a very enthusiastic meeting at
Champaign, III., on February 1 and 2.
All the large live stock interests were rep-
resented and many agricultural organ-
izations, the corn breeders being partic-
ularly well in evidence. The florists'
industry was represented by C. W. Ward,
Df Queens, L. I., who delivered his illus-
trated address on the hybridization of
the carnation. Luther Burbank sent a
paper, and so did H, H. Groff, of Sim-
coe, Ont.

CORRUGATED GLASS.

I would like to know what the broth-
ers think of corrugated glass for green-
houses. I want the practical part, not
the theoretical; I can theorize myself.
I was in one house whare it was used
and it was decidedly the lightest house
in a cloudy day. But is this diffused
light as beneficial as the direct light for
cut lowers and other stuff. Will some
one' give his experiencs? S. C. T.

Austin, Tex. — H, V. Fox, the well
known florist and landscape gardener,
died January 31, aged 62 years.

Des Moines, Ia. — The thermometer
downtown registered 25 degrees below
zero last week and out on the hills, where
the greenhouses are, 28 to 30 degrees
below.

Watkins & Simpson*

This firm was founded in 1876, by
Alfred Watkins and James Simpson, both
of whom had considerable experience of
the seed trade. They were content to
start in a modest way in the Savoy. The

business soon began to increase, and a
removal became necessary to the premises
in 13 Exeter street, Strand, at present oc-
cupied by the firm, and where its growth
continued. Mr. Simpson died in 1893,
having retired from the business about
three months previously. Mr. McKay,
who had been with the firm for a consid-
erable time as traveler and manager, was
then taken into partnership. The prem-
ises now occupied by the firm are exten-
sive. The offices and vegetable depart-
ment are situated at 12 Tavistock street,
and they communicate with the flower
seed department in Exeter street. There
are also spacious warehouses in Long-

This firm originated rather more than
half a century ago, with a Mr. Stuart,
who resided at Nice, and grew in that
favored locality many subjects for seed
purposes which could not be so success-
fully grown in this country. In order to
have an outlet for his productions, a
wholesale depot was opened in London,
and after a few changes of locality is
now at 25 Henrietta street, Covent Gar-
den. Mr. Stuart, who was one of the
first to improve the double zinnia and
other choice flowers, died some years ago,
says Eichard Dean in the Horticultural
Trade Journal.

VARIETIES OF LETTUCE.

The United States Department of Agri-
culture has published, as Buiietin No. 69,
Bureau of Plant Industry, a monograph
by W. W. Tracy, Jr., entitled "Ameri-
can Varieties of Lettuce," which will be
of interest and value to every seedsman.
The purpose and scope of the work is
fully explained in its preface, which is
in part as follows:

There la snch loosenesa of DomencIatorl«l prac-
tice, and such Inadequacy of description re-
garding the yarletlea of Tegetablea, that grow-
ers have tnncb difflcnlty in getting the rarle-
tlea beat saited to their porpoaea. The let-
tnce variety known aa Tennla Ball Black-Seeded
la advertised by seedsmen under tblrty-seven
different names.

In Bulletin No. 21 of the Bureau of Plant In-
dustry, entitled "List of American Varieties
of Vegetables for the Yeara 1901 and 1902,"
were given about 6,000 names of varieties of
Tegetablea offered for sale In those years In
American seed catalogues. No attempt was
made to say which of these varieties were
Identical and whldi were In reality distinct,
except where synonyms were given In the
catalogues themselves. It had already been
determined, however, to take up the various
kinds of vegetablea one by one and, after a
carefnl series of trials, to publish tbe results,
with descriptions and synonyms. Lettuce Is
the first vegetable to which this critical 9tndy
has been given. It will be of Interest, there-
fore, to record a statement regarding those
features of the method pursued in tbe investi-
gation which are novel as applied to this class
of objects.

The main Idea was to apply to a horticultural
subject the methods of systematic botany. The
particular features of this application may be
Itemized as followa:

1. The descriptive terms used have been de-
fined with precision. Where a verbal descrip-
tion la Insufficient to convey an exact idea of
form, such as the degree of curllness of leaves,
reference is made to an illustration. When
it is desired to designate a particular kind of
green color, reference is made to a well-known
variety of lettuce which exhibits that color.

2. In addition to an outline of classification
Intended to show the relationship of the varie-
ties, an artificial key has been given, arranged
on the convenient dlchotomous system and mak-
ing use of the most conspicuous characters, by
which the Identification of varieties is very
greatly facilitated.

S. Tie varieties sufficiently ditTerent to be
distinguishable by their form have been Illus-
trated from photographs. A picture of the dlf-

ferences thus brought out could be conveyed by
no amount of verbal description alone.

The groundwork upon which these botanical
methods were applied was that of long ex-
I>erlence and modern training in horticultural
procedure, and intimate familiarity with the
plants themselves.

Tentative trials were made in the years 1897,
1898, and 1899, and extensive trials were con-
ducted In each of tbe four years from
1900 to 1903. Altogether 2.034 samples
of lettuce seeds were secured. chiefly
by purchase from seedsmen, and grown in the
trials. These samples represented 444 variety
names recognized by 'American seedsmen. The
trials were conducted nnder Mr. Tracy's Imme-
diate direction from 1897 to 1899, at Kensing-
ton, M'd., and in the succeeding years on the
Potomac Flats at Washington. In addition,
Mr. Tracy visited the extensive trial grounds
maintained by five large seed houses, as well
as seven seed farms in California, where let-
tuce seed is grrown.

Mr. Tracy concludes that of the 404 varieties
named in seedsmen's catalogues 107 represent
really distinct varieties, while the others are
merely these same varieties nnder dlCTerent
names. In adopting a single name for a much-
named variety, the most suitable of the trade
names has been chosen.

WATER UNDER PRESSURE.

We have hot water under pressure,
but as we do not get the right temper-
ature in the houses, we would like to
change the system. As the houses run
north and south and are of even size,
18x60, and one three-quarter span run-
ning east and west, we would like to
know how many runs of 2-inch pipe to
put in each house. The house on the
west is exposed to very strong winds,
and is used for carnations. The second
is used partly for carnations and gen-
eral stock. The third is used for vege-
tables and the east and west house for
roses only. We wish to keep the rose
house at 60 deorees in zero weather and
the other ones at 55 degrees. We have
a 4-inch pipe for a main and a 4-inch
for return, but under the benches and
on the sides are 2-inch flows and returns.
Do you think the return is too large t
The pipes cool very quickly if the fire
slacks off a little. J. J. V.

Each of the houses 18x60 feet, which

is to be heated to 55 degrees, should have
an equivalent of eleven 2-inch pipes and
the three-quarter span house, if of the
same dimensions, 18x60, and to carry a
temperature of 60 degrees, should have
an equivalent of at least 12 runs of
2-inch pipe. These houses 'with hot
water at 180 degrees require about 440
feet of radiation to maintain a tempera-
ture of 60 degrees during severe weather.
While it is not always the practice in
hot water heating, it is good policy to
have the lowest return in the house
somewhat above the top of the boiler.
Better results follow from such an ar-
rangement than when the returns are
below the top of tlie boiler. The dif-
ference need only be a few inches but a
foot or more is an advantage. Four-incb
pipes are not too large for either flows
or returns, but they are seldom used
in water under pressure systems, chief-
ly, I suspect, because smaller pipes are
cheaper. L. C. C.

LILIES.

We have some Lilium Harrisii that are
three inches high in a house with a night
temperature of 56 degrees. Will they
be all right for Easter t If not, how
should they be treated? Our L. longi-
florum multiflorum are just breaking
through the soil. How should they be
treated to be had in bloom Decoration
dayt After the above named lilies show
buds how many days does it take them
to develop! J. W. B.

The Lilium Harrisii that are three
inches high and in a night temperature
of 56 degrees will do very well where
tbey are for another three weeks. We
will suppose that they were well rooted
wlien brought in. They should make
good, steady growth in 56 degrees and
15 degrees higher in the daytime. Much
depends on the weather, but by the
middle of March you can tell if they will
need a higher temperature.

Those lilies only just starting to grow
and intended for Decoration day should
bo kept quite cool, say 40 degrees at
night. There will be no forcing needed.
As the season advances your houses will
be warm and there is more care needed
in keeping them cool. In April and
May they come along very fast. Keep
them cool.

The number of days from the time
you can count the buds to their opening
will depend on the temperature and
amount of sunshine we get. This year,
as Easter is late and we should expect
bright weather to help, four to five weeks
should develop the expanded blossoms.

LIFE OF PIPE.

In ordinary greenhouse use what will
be the life of 4- inch cast-iron pipet
How long would wrought-iron pipe lastf

W. W. T.

It is a difficult thing to predict the
life of either cast or wrought-iron pipe
in heating plants. There is some differ-
ence in the qualities of iron from differ-
ent sources. There is also an advantage
in favor of cast-iron as a container so
far as length of life is concerned, every-
thing else being equal.

\

The one factor which more than any
other determines the length of life of
iron pipe used for carrying water, either
in a heating plant or under other con-
ditions, is the character of the mineral
salts which the water contains. In some
localities the water contains salts which
soon consume iron pipe, while in other
sections no such evil exists. The best
and safest plan under all circumstances

is to use rain water for filling the heat-
ing plant, whether it be a hot water or
a steam plant. With rain water there
should be little or no scale or corrosion
and under such circumstances the length
of life of light weight 4-inch cast-iron
pipe should be thirty-five to fifty years
and probably twenty-five or thirty years
for the ordinary threaded maleable pipe,
possibly more. L. C. C.

MANURES FOR MUMS.

M. George Truflfaut 's researches show
that while there ars differences in consti-
tution as regards varieties, yet as a whole
it may be said that if it is desired to
grow dwarf, robust plants with firm, reg-
ularly distributed foliage and brightly
colored flowers, the following facts must
be borne in mind ; phosphoric acid assists
in the formation of woody tissue and
chlorophyll, hastens the production of
flowers, and specially heightens the bril-
liancy of their colors. Without potash the
leaves are flaccid, the stems hollow, the
flowers of bad shape, and their develop-
ment retarded. Excess of nitrogenous
manure is singularly injurious to the
chrysanthemum.

North Jackson, 0.— Elmer ISIasters
will build a greenhouse as soon as the
season opens.

dom, has bought the interest of J. W.

The Weekly Florists' RevJevr*

Fbbbcabt 9, 1906.

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH.

We have recently been treated to the
worst weather of the season and it had
a depressing effect on retail trade, but it
gave such a brace to shipping that every
flower of whatever quality was quickly
cleared up. The demand for funeral
work has sprung into great activity.
Prices continue firm. Violets are the
only flowers that can be had in quantity.

William Cunningham has suffered an
opera.tion for appendicitis but is pro-
gressing favorably.

M. Began, formerly foreman at Crabb
& Hunter's Lake greenhouses, is very
ill.

George F. Crabb is convalescing from
a severe attack of grippe and congestive
fever.

The Grand Rapids florists who attended
the carnation meeting are very enthusi-
astic on the exhibits, the greatest diffi-
culty being to decide on which variety
to stock up on.

The Grand Eapids Florists' CTub is
grappling with the problem of fixing
rates for bedding plants, the filling of
window gardens, baskets, etc., for spring
trade. It will also strive to make the
price of cut flowers more uniform. If
it accomplishes all it has set out to do
it will be a long stride in progress.
Henry Smith has the rate question in
charge and will report at the next meet-
ing, which will be held at the Board of
Trade rooms on Pearl street on February
17. G. F. C.

FROST IN SOUTHERN EUROPE.

The Eevue Horticole gives a deplor-
able account of the destruction caused by
the recent severe weather not only on
the north side of the Mediterranean, but
also in Tunis and Algeria, The crop of
roses is mostly destroyed, also violets,
anemones, reseda, ranunculus, and other
flowers, have been almost entirely ruined,
and in the market gardens there are no
more artichokes, lettuces, radishes, car-
rots, turnips, or cauliflowers. What the
effect will be on the palms it is too soon
to judge. It is a curious fact that Eng-
lish growers have lately been supplying
the Paris markets with forced tulips and
other flowers; usually the London grow-
ers must compete with cut stock from
the south of Europe.

Grand Forks, N. D. — E. 0. Lovell
says McBanley day business was good.
Many dinner table flowers were supplied.
They distributed many free boutonnieres
on Saturday.

IMPROVED LORILLAHD.

In a recent number of the Beview we
notice an article by Mr. Croydon, refer-
ring to Lofillard tomato as producing
a number of badly shaped fruits, par-
ticularly in the first of the season. Many
good varieties have been discarded be-
cause of roughness or some other fault.
We give our experience because we think
a good variety once found can be kept
up to the standard and even improved
if a careful selection of seed is made
each year. Ten years ago we commenced
foi:cing Lorillard under glass for ripe
fruit in April and May and have grown
It ever since. Five years ago we began
selecting and saving seed from perfect
fruit and are now satisfied that we have
a perfect tomato, in size, form, earl-
iness and productiveness. Each year we
also grow the variety outside largely
and find it produces ripe and perfect
fruit as early as any grown in this sec-
tion and continues throughout the sea-

APHIDES ON LETTUCE.

Would Nikotesn or Bose Leaf Extract
be all right to use on lettuce to Jtiil
aphides? I have been using tobacco
smoke, but find it very easy to overdo.
Is there a better way? M. A. B.

Nikoteen or Bose Leaf Extract of to-
bacco would be all right for destroying
apliides on lettuce. I presume you mean
to vaporize it. Directions regarding
quantity necessary for certain space usu-
ally accompanv the packages in which
the extracts are put up. You could ac-
complish your purpose cheaper by using
tobacco stems. Procure good fresh
stems, tie up in bunches and distribute
through the house. They are better and
last longer if suspended rather than
laid on the ground. If the flv has con-
siderable headway you would have to
use the stems pretty freely to get the
better of them, but once your plants
are clean the aroma from the stems will
prevent further trouble. Moisten oc-
casionally when the stems become dry
and they will continue effective for a
considerable time, the length of time, of
course, depending a good deal on the
quality of the stems. After the stems
have lost their strength renew with
fresh ones, and in this way you ought
to be able to keep your house perfectly
free from the serious attacks of aphis.

W. S. Croydon.

EARLY PLANTS FOR OUTDOORS.

The sowing of seed to procure early
plants for subsequent planting outdoors,
if not already done, should be attended
to as soon as possible. If greenhouse
space can be devoted to this purpose it
will be a good deal more convenient

than hotbeds. Just as good plants can
be raised in notbeds as in the green-
house, but it entails quite a little extra
labor, and pretty close attention is nec-
essary to insure success.

One of the urst essentials is to pro-
cure a suitable soil for the seed sowing.
Too often the ordinal^ pottinsr mixture
is used for this purpose and the pres-
ence of manure in it, which inevitably
contains decaying vegetable or animal
matter, not only makes the soil too
heavy for the purpose, but it is almost
sure to contain germs of funeri which
would prove very destructive to the lit-
tle plants just after they are over the
ground. It is very disappointing, after
procuring a good start of seed, to see
the plants damping off. This damping
off, as it is commonly called, is often
caused by the attacks of minute fungi,
the germs of which are often present
in the soil. Over watering and an over-
abundance of atmospheric moisture are
also fruitful causes of its presence. If
a nice, free, friable loam can be pro-
cured in the right condition, neither too
wet nor too dry, there is nothing better
for the purpose in hand. For a stiff,
retentive soil the addition of good sharp
sand or, better still, some charcoal dust
will be very beneficial.

For most seeds it is better to have
the soil on the surface finely sifted,
though it is unnecessary to sift the
whole of it; in fact, it is better to have
the main part of the soil rather rough
to insure the free passage of water.
The seeds should not be sown too thicklv,
so as to give the plants a £hance to get
large enough to be easilv handled be-
fore they become crowded. A temper-
ature of 60 degrees is about right for the
general run of seeds. Cucumbers and
melons require a higher temperature, but
it is too early to start either of these
for outdoor planting. A fine spray
should be used in watering, so that the
soil can be kept moist, but not over-wet.
Air should be freely admitted on all fa-
vorable occasions, so that the atmos-
phere of the house be kept free from
stagnation.

Begarding varieties for early use, we
have found nothing better in lettuce
than Boston Market for first; for suc-
cession Big Boston and Deacon are both
good. In cabbage, Early Jersey Wake-
field would be our choice for first, to be
followed by Succession. In cauliflower
we prefer Dwarf Erfurt to Snowball
for early outdoor work. In tomatoes
Earliana and Stirling Castle are both
good for this purpose. A sowing of
moss curled parsley made now will give
nice plants for setting out by the time
the weather is warm enough.

Tlie Market

We are still in the midst of our rainy
season and, whUe on one hand it makes
business quiet, on the other it mal:es
flowers of all kinds scarce. Violets are
the exception, as they are a glut at pres-
ent. They sell at from 50 to 75 cents
per dozen bunches and are of sp'.euiid
quality. Boses and carnations are even
scarcer than thty wert last week and the
prices have stiffened considenbly. Th':>

daffodil is the flower in most demand at
this time. They cost the storas from
$1 to $1.50 per hundred. Trumpet major
is the variety we are cutting now. Ard
Bigh, Henry Irving and other early sorts
are all gone and Princeps is just begin-
ning to bloom. Boman hyacinths and
valley are in fair supply and sell well.
Freesias are now to be had in any quan-
tity and cost the stores about $1.50 per
hundred for long-stemmed flowers. Good
maidenhair is scarce but we are getting
an abundance of the wild variety from
the mountains, but this kind can only
be used to advantage in cheap bouquets.
Smilax is also very scarce and sells well..
Mums are practically out of season, so
that there is a great scarcity of cheap
flowers, such as can be used to advan-
tage in floral designs.

Various Notes.

Sievers & Boland made several very
fine floral pieces for the funeral of Mrs.
James Johnson, at Claremont, last week.

George Bobinson, a gardener in the
employ of A. D. Pryal, assistant horti-
cultural commissioner of Alameda coun-
ty, was dangerously wounded by the ac-
cidental discharge of a gun on a hunt-
ing expedition last Thursday.

It has been announced that the sum
of $100,000, allotted by the trustees of
the Carnegie Institute to Luther Bur-
bank will be available in annual install-
ments of $10,000. This. will enable Mr.
Burbank to devote his entire attention
for a few years to his experiments.

N. Symacopulos has left for a three
months' trip to Europe. He recently dis-
posed of his florist establishment to his
nephew.

The Society Hortensia had a regular
meeting in Becker's Hall, Oakland, last
Saturday evening.

Ferrari Bros, are cutting some very
good roses.

It is rumored that another Japanese
company has bought land near Colma
and will crept considerable glass, both
for carnation and rose growing. G.

LYCOPODIUM.

Enclosed find a spray from a long,
vine-like plant that grows in abundance
in Washington. It has had no care
whatever and has been picked at least
six weeks. Is it of any commercial
value to florists? It can readily be
packed and shipped from Washington.

W. G. T.

The specimen is a branch from the
Lycopodium annotinum, found growing
plentifully on the Pacific coast from
Alaska to California. It grows both on
the low lands and on the wooded moun-
tain sides. It is closely related to the
eastern club moss but has not been made
use of by the Pacific coast florists to
any extent. Green material is very
plentiful here and we have an abundance
of ferns and mosses. As it keeps a long
time without fading it should be of
value for shipping to less favored local-
ities and would probably be of consid-
erable service in arranging with flowers
and for decorating if someone would
take the trouble to introduce it and
demonstrate its merits, G.

DAHLIAS.

Th3 dahlia is one of the best paying
summer flowers that the florist can grow.
The dwarf double white varieties are
especially valuable for funeral work and

^ LOOMIS, CAL.

during the season between the going of
the asters and the coming of the chrys-
anthemums there is no flower that will
take the place of the white dahlia. The
colored varietios are not so much in de-
mand, unless for cheap decorations or
bouquets, but as a garden flower it has
few equals.

To obtain the best results with the
dahlia I dig the clumps every year as
soon as the frost has cut them down and
pack them away in dry sawdust. I have
had much better results when treating;
them in this way than when I left the
clumps in the ground over winter, for,
although they will stand considerable
water, I always find that the tuber?? are
more or less rotted after an extra wet
winter or when they are planted in a
situation where the drainage is not good.
I replant the tubers generally about the
first week in March, after having divided
each clump in three or four parts.

As with almost all crops, I have found
it a good plan to change the location
every season, as the dahlias are gross
feeders and easily exhaust the soil. It
does not seem to make so much differ-
ence whether the soil be sandy or heavy
loam as long as it is sufficiently fertil-
ized, well rotted manure being the best

material to use for this purpose.

The clumps should not be too heaviiv
watered until after they have started
to grow and after that it does not seem
to be possible to give them too much
moisture. Keep the ground free from
weeds and well cultivated and the dah-
lia will be found to produce a good
paying crop.

Unfortunately the green lady birds
have a great fondness for the flowers
and in some localities where there are no
cool, foggy nights in the summer it is
rtlmost impossible to get any perfect
blooms. I have tried many ways to get

rid of the summer pest but have found
that Paris green seems to be the most
effective. I use one teaspoonful in a
four-gallon watering pot and sprinkle
the plants in the evening four successive
days. After that once a week will be
all that is necessary to keep these inse<'i.8
in check. It is only in some of the
warmer situations where there is any
trouble of this kind, for when the
dahlias are planted where they get any
of our ocean breezes, the destructive
green lady birds cannot do any harm.
One or two foggy nights seems to com-
pletely put them out of business. G.

J. Woodward Manning, for some
years associated with his brother, Warren
H. Manning, as a landscape architect,
has decided to devote the bulk of his
time to the care of the old established
nursery business in Beading, Mass., so
long managed by his father.

Some well known English nurserymen
say that the Myrobalan plum is much su-
perior to the thorn for hedging purposes,
that is as regards quickness of growth
and impenetrableness of fence. It also
makes a pretty hedge if trimmed annu-
ally, as all hedges should be. The plants
will grow almost anywhere and under
the most ordinary conditions.

P. Lambert, Germany's famous rosa-
rian, suggests in a note to Rosen-Zeitung
the practicability of working the Baby
Rambler (Mme. Norbert I^avasseur)
on to the original Crimson Rambler rose.
He believes that any attempt in this di-
rection in the way of grafting or bud-
ding would be followed by certain suc-
cess. Most climbing roses of the multi-
flora class, he thinks, could thus be made
to flower continually or at least repeat-
edly during a season.

A CARLOAD of nursery stock from three
French nurserymen was cleared through
the custom house at Portland, Ore., Jan-
uary 27. On the invoice were 185,000
fruit tree stocks, 6,000 English walnuts,
2,500 hollies, 3,000 conifers, and a long
list of ornamental trees and shrubs.
They were for J. B. Pilkington and
make the third carlot received by him
this season, the first containing 3,500
Holland-grown rhododendrons and aza-
leas, while bay trees from Belgium were
the bulk of the second car. The duties
paid amounted to about $600.

The coreless apple is supplying the
penny-a-liner with capital material for
the exercise of his talents, and it need
not be said that he is taking full ad-
vantage of his opportunities. In one of
our daily contemporaries we are informed
that "the trees are almost blossomless,
so that they have little to fear from
spring frosts. The annual loss to the
fruit growers of the world from late
frosts and codlin moth cannot be less
than £5,000,000, but by the introduction
of the new apples this will be prevented.
The absence • of seed makes the fruit
wormless, because the voracious apple
worm lives on the seed." — Gardeners'
Magazine.

FRUIT MEN SPEAK.

The Northwestern Fruit Growers' As-
sociation, representing three-fourths of
the fruit growers of the state of Wash-
ington, have asked the legislature to
repeal a feature of the present horti-
cultural, law making a large bond com-
pulsory for nurserymen doing business
in the state. This bond, members of
the fruit growers' association declare, is
driving the nursery business out of
Washington into Oregon. The tree buy-
ers ask that the bond he discarded en-
tirely, or, at the worst, made very low.

For their own protection the fruit
men ask that the law prohibit the sale
of fruit infested with San Jose scale
and require the labeling of each package
with the grower's name, the contents
and quality.

SIZE OF BOILER.

What size of horizontal tubular boil-
er should I use to heat four green-
houses as follows: One lean-to 6x50,
one three-quarter span house 17x50,
both houses for palms, ferns, flowering
and bedding plants: two houses 16x100
for carnations f The temperature very
seldom falls to zero. C. A. M.

Your houses require a boiler capable
of supplying about 1,250 feet of radia-
tion. A boiler with about 175 feet of
heating surface should be capable of
supplying this amount of radiation. A
return tubular boiler three feet in diam-
eter, eight feet long and carrying twen-
ty-eight 3-inch flues should be amply
large. In fact, it will have a consid-
erable factor in reserve, but it is al-
"ways a good plan to have more power
than one really needs. L. C. C.

PITTSBURG.

The Market

We have spent the week in the throes
of a blizzard and have experienced the
coldest weather of the winter, the ther-
mometer dropping to 7 degrees below
zero, still I have not heard of any dam-
age to any of the greenhouses in this
vicinity. While some found a shortage.
of gas, they were in shape to help out
with coal. However, the retail dealers
suffered, as part of the weak was too
eold for people to get out and materially
affected trade. Among the wholesalers
there did not seem to l^ much complaint
and very little stock came in frozen,
which reflects credit on our express
agents, who are now giving the florists
more consideration and attention than
ever before. At the Union station,
Adams Express Agent Hiner, has one
man whose duty it is to get the flowers
from among the other freight and see to
their immediate delivery. Quite fre-
quently we see boxes wrrapped in blan-
kets while being hauled to their destina-
tion.

WASHINGTON.

Business for the past week has been
practically tied up. The thennomtter
at 6 and 8 degrees staring us in the
fac^, with snow and a good mixture of
northwest winds, caused stock of all
kinds to be scarce, consequently bringing
high prices. Beauties are scarce and
bring $6 to $12 per dozen, Maids and
Brides, $10 to $15 per hundred; carna-
tions, $2 to $4. Tulips and all Dutch
stock are coming in fine, but are a drug
on the market and do not go at all.

During the freeze-up last nnek Mr.
Bissett lost a whole house of violets,
also Ley Bros, had a house of carnations
frozen up. Both have the sympathy of
the craft. Quite a few of the others
had a narrow call.

Vice-President Freeman is quite busy
hustling around getting the S. A. F.
souvenir book in shape. F. H. K.

Snow and continued cold weather do
not seem to check the flower business.
At present decorations and dinners keep
the boys on the jump. A. Gude & Bro.
had a decoration for the Tautalus
Club which called for four wagon-loads
of plants on February 4. Luckily none
was nipped.

Gude & Bro. do not want to go on
record with the disappointed florists on
McKinley day. They had a big demand
for carnations and their sales were far
beyond their expectations. They had
a McKinley window, decorated with car-
nations, and handled 4,000 carnations
over the retail counter. Wm. F. Gude
has been laid up with a severe cold but
is able to be about again.

J. H. Small & Son are getting in
shape for the inaugural ball.

Wm. Smith, formerly with F. Hf
Kramer, has taken a position with Henry
I*fister. Eamblee,

RED SPORT

(Of Moceo.)

Red Sport has proved the greatest money-maker we ever grew, producing more good blooms to
the square foot of bench room than any other variety on the place. During the glut the first part of
January we could only get four cents for fancy Lawson and sold every Red Sport we had at five
cents. Every grower who was here in December was carried away vrith its possibilities, as a future
supply of a "holly berry red" for Xmas. There is no pick in the blooms. They are all a uniform size
and color. There are 40.000 or 50,000 buds showing in different stages of development at this time
and there is not a split or off color bloom in the lot and every plant is the picture of health. We will
plant 20,000 plants of Red Sport for next season's bloom and the cut is already engaged by two of
Washington's leading retailers. Red Sport is an easy doer and everyone can grow it as successfully
as we can. Price for Feb. 20th delivery— 12 for $1.60: 25 for $2.50; 50 for $4.00 post-paid; $6.00 per 100;
$60.00 per 1000. We guarantee stock to arrive in good condition and be well rooted.

KANSAS QTY.

The Market

A week of snow and intense cold has
made things look very gloomy here and
stock, especially roses, is of very poor
quality and prices are weak. Some
good stuff is coming in from outside
points and prices are averaging good.
Carnations are looking well. Some fine
Enchantress and Lawson are to be seen.
Tulips are more plentiful, while hya-
cinths, freesias and valley are coming in
and are looking fine. Violets and sweet
peas are at their best. An unusually
large number of funerals the past week
has about cleaned up all stock and
there are enough advance orders to take
all the stock in sight.

Various Notes.

Your correspondent visited the green-
houses of A. F. Barbe last week and
noted the big improvements that have
been added to his extensive establish-
ment. A large, two-story building has
been erected, with an oifice in the lower
part and the upper part used as a
dwelling for the night fireman. There
are two rose houses 25x147 filled with
Bride, Maid, Ivory and Goldsn Gate
which are looking fine; four houses for
carnations 20x80 each in which there
are some excellent Lawson. Enchantress,
Flamingo and Jubilee. The other houses
are filled with bedding stock, in charge
of Sam Willis.

Ed. Ellsworth, manager for G. M. Kel-
logg, is confined to his home by the
grippe. His place is ably filled by
P. G. Bradbury, assistant manager.

Ed. Bunyar, of Independence, is send-
ing in some of the finest violets seen
here for some time, which find a ready
Bale.

It is rumored that a new firm is
about to locate here. A lease on an acre
of ground has been secured on the south
Bide, on which will be erected immediate-
ly four houses 30x122, to be devoted to
roses. Later other houses will be added
as needed. The new firm ^ill be known
as the Kansas City Cut Flower Co.

The W, L. Rock Flower Co. is showing
some ver\' good stock. Mr. Rock reports
a very large business the past week, prin-
cipally funeral work, and has already
booked some very large orders for wed-
dings and receptions the coming week.

John Schneider, on Walnut street, re-
ports business good.

The Misses Dalley are still confined to
their homo by sickness. Mr. Linquist
is in charge of the store.

Geo. M. Kellogg, of Pleasant Hill,
was a visitor last week. Mr. Kellogg
contemplates adding another 100,000 feet
of glass to his already extensive estab-
lishment.

The Alpha Floral Co, is well pleased
with business.

Lawrence Schwager reports business
as above the average. He has some
good stock on exhibition at his store.

ORANGE, N. J.

The tenth annual installation dinner
of the New Jersey Floricultural Society
took place on February 3, with the help
of representatives of the floral and lo-
cal press, sister societies and numer-
ous representatives of the craft. Of the
first, who made responses were J. Austin
Shaw, W. J. Stewart and S. 8. Butter-
field. William Duckham spoke for the
Chrysanthemum Society. A letter of
regret was read from A. Herrington.
Mr. Berry, of Kelsey & Co., Neil Camp-
bell, C. H. Totty, Harry O. May, Dr.
J. M. W. Eatchen and Charles Weber
were also speakers. The evening was
filled in by responses from six ex-presi-
dents and numerous members. J. B. Da-
vis, in behalf of the auditing committee,
paid a glowing tribute to the services
and worth of Treasurer Macrorie and
to the services of John McGowan, whose
photographs of the prize-winning flow-
ers for the year covered the walls of the
banquet hall.

The floral display was large and called
forth encomiums from Mr. Barry and
others. The exhibits were from Peter
Duff, Arthur Bodwell, Edwin Thomas,
William Bennett, William Reid, George
Van Qualen, Lager & Hurrell, Hale Flo-
ral Company and Guttman in Weber,
whose new carnation. Victory, occupied
a prominent place. It was the initial
night in the year's competition for silver
cups.

The presentation of the twelve silver
cups won in last year's competition was
a feature of the earlier part of the even-
ing. J. B. D.

In Charles Lindacher's recent fire the
boiler shed and two greenhouses were
damaged and a large quantity of stock
frozen. He had $2,000 insurance on the
stock and was allowed $1,900, with
$1,200 allowance on the structures and
$250 on tools, in all $3,350. Rebuilding
was begun promptly and everything will
be in first-class shape by spring. The
retail trade was not interfered with by
the fire, as most of the stock destroyed
was bedding material for spring, which
is being replaced by purchase.

TROUBLE WITH HEATER.

I have a greenhouse 15x28 aud heat
with hot water, the boiler 24x42 inches,
set two feet below the ground level.
The supply tank is four feet above the
boiler. I use about 200 feet of li/4-inch
pipe. It all has a fall except one stretch
of twenty feet. The return pipe and
the supply pipe enter the boiler at the
same place. When I get up good heat
the tank will overflow through reaction,
but we have a faucet where we draw the
water out of the pipes and stop the over-
flow. What is the defect? A. W.

Small heating plants such as you have
are more difficult to regulate than are
more extensive ones. The temperature
rises and falls more quickly and as a
result a larger space in proportion must
be provided for expansion than with
more extensive systems. I believe that
a part of your difficulty can be over-
come by combining all the returns into
one or two pipes and connecting them
with the bottom of the boiler. There
must be openings provided for admit-
ting the returns near the base of the
boiler. Place a tee in the return eight
to ten inches from the point where re-
turn enters boiler and carry a %-inch
pipe up as high as the boiler room or
greenhouse will permit, ten or twelve
feet if possible, and to this attach a
fifteen-gallon steel tank similar to those
used for storing hot water in dwellings.
Attach an overflow to this tank, which
will connect with the down spouts or a
drain. A tank of this size should be
sufficient to hold the expansion of a
plant the size of the one you have. If
the expansion tank used is an open one
a float can be arranged in it for open-
ing and closing the draught of the
heater. When the fire gets high enough
to cause the water to rise in the ex-
pansion tank the float will be lifted afld
close the draughts and dampers and
when the water returns again to its
proper level the draughts and dampers
will open with the settling of the float.

I am not able to criticize the system
of piping from the description given,
but it is never wise to have hot water
pipes on a level for any considerable
distance. L. C. C.

NERINES.

Among autumn flowering greenhouse
bulbous plants there is no doubt the ne-
rines rank first. Their culture is simple,
they are easily propagated, and they are
equally as useful for cutting as for dec-
oration, as their long stems make them
extremely useful for vases, etc., and the
predominant colors being rose or pink,
they never fail to please.

Nerines are old favorites with some,
but have never seemed to gain headway
to the extent they should do, probably
owing to their supposed shy flowering
propensities. The chief point in suc-
cessfully flowering nerines well is their
subjection to a thorough scorching in
the sun soon after they become dormant,
and for this purpose I reserve a frame
for them and they remain in this, with
little ventilation and no water, until
about the middle of August, when they
are taken out and placed in a green-
house to throw up their flower stems.
When the flower stems appear weak,
liquid manure once a week is given,
and is very beneficial. As leaf growth
commences, watering is increased until

the growth shows signs of maturity,
when it is gradually reduced until the
bulbs are quite dormant, when it is
withheld.

Where a number of offsets are to be
grown on to flowering size, I have adopt-
ed the planting-out system with decided
success. A frame is selected where a
minimum temperature of 40 to 45 de-
grees can be maintained, , and a maxi-
mum of 50 degrees not exceeded. Good
drainage is provided and covered with
loam, leaf-soil, and sand in equal parts
to the depth of six inches. In this the
young bulbs are planted, three inches
apart each way, with their crowns just
showing above ground. I have this sea-
son lifted a fine batch of nerines, which
were treated in this way.

The great advantage one gains in grow-
ing nerines in this manner is that bet-
ter bulbs are produced in less time than
when grown in pots, and there is a con-
siderable curtailment of labor.

There are about a score of species
and many varieties of nerines, but all
are worthy of cultivation, and will well
repay any labor bestowed upon them. —

AtulUta, Ga. — Benj. Gillespie, fiorist

his old position as gardener at Oakland
cemetery.

Unadilla, N. Y.— N. H. Padgett
was completely burned out on February
2. Three greenhouses, office, work room
and all the contents were destroyed,
with no insurance. Mr. Padgett says
he cannot rebuild before spring but he
expects to start again at the bottom Of
the ladder.

TAHRYTOWN, N. Y.

The Tarrytown Horticultural Society
held the first meeting of the year on
January 31. The newly elected presi-
dent, I>anci8 Gibson, occupied the
chair. The prize of the evening, a pair
of handsome sleeve links, given by L.
A. Martin, was for the best plant suit-
able for table decoration. Several fol-
iage plants and several flowering plants
were placed in competition. The judges,
J. Mooney Hastings and JHoward Nich-
ols, awarded the prize to^Villiam Scott,
his exhibit being a plant of Croton s'l-
perba. A very interesting discussion
was brought out regarding the rela-
tive merits of flowering versus foliage
plants for table decoration, the con-
sensus of opinion seeming to lean to the
plant with flowers. The F. R. Pierson
Oo. exhibited several vases of carna-
tions and was awarded a certificate of
merit for Variegated Lawson, also hon-
orable mention for vases of Flamingo
and White Lawson. The secretary an-
nounced that he had the offer of two
special prizes for the next November
shows, one of $25 from Mrs, J. B. Tre-
vor for the best twelve blooms of Glen-
view chrysanthemum, and a silver cup
from F. R. Pierson for fifty blooms of
Variegated Lawson.

TORONTO.

Trade during the past week has been
a considerable improvement over prsvi-
ous weeks and the retail men all report
that receptions, at-homes, etc., are more
numerous than during January and we
also note that there is an increased de-
mand for white flowers for funeral work.
Boses are still short, carnations and
bulbous stock of all kinds plentiful.
Stock does not seem to be moving off as
freely as other years.

We are glad to report that Mr, Lam-
pert, of the College Street Flower Shop,
iate of Chicago, who has been laid up
with sore throat, is back to duty.

The carnation show under the auspices
of the Horticultural Association and To-
ronto Gardeners' and Florists' Associa-
tion will be held February 16 in St.
George's hall. We expect a fine exhibi-
tion of this truly popular flower.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

699

Watch the Azaleas.

Very soon your fall-imported azaleas,
even if they are kept cool, will be mak-
ing new growth from the base of the
flower bud and if these young growths
are not kept rubbed off thev will take all
the strength from the buds, which will
shrivel up and you will have a fine green
bush but no flowers. If well budded,
keep all that young growth pinched off
as soon as it appears.

There are a few varieties that flower
poorly the spring following their importa.
tion, notably Bernard Andre and Bernard
Andre alba. If you see there are not
enough flower buds on them to make sala-
ble plants, then let these young shoots
grow and you will have fine plants for a
year from now. Summered-over azaleas
seldom have this tendency to make a
growth before they flower. There is no
doubt that selling the plants the first
spring is most desirable, yet the plants
that did not sell, if given good and cor-
rect care during summer, make the finest
plants and have increased fifty per cent
in value.

Overdrawn Tulips.

I noticed last week some Yellow Prince
tulips drawn up to 15-ineh stems and
rather spindling. It was no fault oi
the bulbs; they have had too high a
temperature and too much shade. Everv
week now as we approach spring their
gay flowers will want less heat and shade
and by March 1 they will come along to
perfection on an ordinary bench without
any shade. While a good length of
stem is desirable, when it is weak and
spindling your crop is about valueless.

Good Ferns Always Salable.

There is sure to be at least the usual
demand for a nice pot or pan of nephro-
lepis at Easter. "We would a year ago
have simply said Boston fern, but now
there are Piersoni, Anna Foster and last-
ly comes perhaps the most useful of all,
Scottii. "Well grown plants of these ferns
sell every day in the year. I think right
at this season we are selling more mod-
erate-sized plants of the old Boston form,
plants worth from $2 to $3, than we are
any three other plants, and well do they
deserve their popularity.

Piersoni seemed to get a set-back last
year after the first gush of admiration
for its beauty. I notice of late if you
can show a Piersoni in an 8-inch pot,
fairly dense with fronds, that it will out-
sell any of them. "We are not yet all
on to the wrinkle of how to make salable
plants of Piersoni «s quickly as we can
the Boston, but we know it is a most free
and luxuriant grower or Mr. Pierson
could not have grown that great and
splendid stock in so short a time, for
wo saw the mother plant — not a very
thrifty looking old hen, either — surround-
<■<! by licr flock of litMe chickens. And
now he is sending out Piersoni elegantia-
sima, certainly a beautiful thing.

Anna Foster is very attractive when a

specimen but it reverts too much. Scot-
tii seems as if it' would be the leading
commercial nephrolepis. Its dense
growth of fronds, even as a small plant,
makes it a specimen in a 4-inch pot and
its form in larger plants is perfection.

Making-up Pans.

Too often we are guilty of making up
8-inch or 10-inch pans of these ferns by
lifting 3 -inch or 4-inch plants from the
benches and potting several of them to-
gether. They pass in appearance, yet it
is not the honest thing to our customers.
Plants for spring sales should be shifted
now, so that they will become well estab-
lished. There is no harm in putting
three plants in one pan to make a good
sized plant, but give them time to get
well rooted and make a growth that
takes off that stiffness which made-up
pans always have. Don't keep these
plants in the shade. Give them a light,
sunny position and plenty of room to
grow or you cannot produce a shapely
plant. In a fern it is form, not color,
that is admired. Give these ferns that
you want to grow just for the next two
months about 60 degrees at night.

Shifting Palms for Spring.

Moderate-sized palms have sold better
the past year than they have for two or
three years. Palm raising is best left to
the specialist. "We raised a few thousand
kentias for two or three winters and are
convinced. You can buy plants in 4-
inch pots and upwards from the man who
raises a hundred thousand cheaper than
you can raise them. It is their specialty
and there is nothing like division of la-
bor. It is a feature of the highest civil-
ization.

Palms just potted are dangerous to
sell to a customer. The customer is crude
enough about watering without giving
him a newly shifted plant to wrestle
with. Don't be afraid now to shift a
palm that will want it this spring. Ken-
tias need only a comparatively small pot,
but a customer will he sure to want you
to shift it if the pot looks too small. If
skillfully done, a shift from a 5-inch to
a 6-inch or from a 7-inch to an 8-inch
pot will do. Larger plants can, of course,
be given a shift of two or three inches.
Be sure with small kentias not to bury
the base of the stem beneath the soil, or
not more than half an inch, and let the
soil be well firmed between the old ball
and the pot.

Arecas and latanias will enjoy a more
liberal shift, say from a 5-inch to
a 7-inch or from a 7-inch to a 9-
inch pot. "While shifting these palms
it is a good time to thoroughly clean
them. Brown scale and mealy bug
appear sometimes in the best regulated
families. A sponging with fir tree oil,
kerosene emulsion or Gishurat Compound
will thoroughly clean tlicm and make
them look bright.

Sowing Early Asters,
it will now be about tune to aow some

of the early asters if they can be planted
out the end of April. It is only for
very early cutting that the small early
varieties are used. The Comet, Victoria,
peony-flowered and, best of all, the late
branching varieties, need not be sown
untU early March, and then if you want
successive crops you should sow at inter-
vals of three weeks up to the middle of
May.

Improve Your Strain.

Did you ever try saving your own aster
seed? All there is about it is to select a
few dozen of the very finest blooms, tie
them to a stake so they won't get cut or
broken down and, when thoroughly ripe,
put the heads away in a paper bag and
clean them at your leisure. Although I
am a thorough believer in the division of
labor, it is worth while saving some
asters when you see a very fine flower.
It may be good in color, form or size.
You will be pretty sure to get as fine
flowers as the parent and in a few gen-
erations a considerable improvement will
be effected if every year you select only
the finest flowers for seed.

Antirrhinums.

In these days when flower gardening
is desired to be interesting rather than
gaudy, a bed of antirrhinums is well
worth a place. There is a splendid strain
of large-flowered varieties that make a
beautiful flower bed. Separate colors
can be used, yet a mixed bed of colors is,
I think, prettier. If sown now and trans-
planted later into flats they can be
planted out after danger of hard frost,
for they are nearly hardy plants, and
will commence to flower by the end of
June. ,

Propagating Genista.

This should be a busy time with the
propagating bed. Besides all your soft-
wooded bedding plants, there are some
cuttings to go in that will be wanted as
flowering plants next winter and spring.
The cytisus, or genista, is one. Don't
take little, single shoots, but take little
branches with two or three shoots and a
heel where it came off a stronger growth.
You can always find such growth on the
larger plants. They root freely and will
make good, salable plants in one year.

The Euphorbia.

Euphorbia fulgens (itused to beknown
to the trade as E, Jacquinisefiora) is an-
other pretty and useful cut flower plant
that can be propagated now. Twenty-five
years ago this was a standard cut fiower,
but it went out of fashion. It is as
easily grown as the poinsettia, which is
also a euphorbia, but very different in
appearance. Any small piece with two
or three joints of this winter's growth,
but not too soft, will root easily in sand
in a bottom heat of 65 degrees. It needs
that heat, as it is a tropical plant. They
can be pinched as they grow and plunged
outdoors during the hot months and
planted out on the benches in September,
or if you can spare the room they will
make a freer growth if planted out of
3 -inch pots on the bench in June. They
will just delight in the tropical heat that
the glass will afford. The long, dropping
branches, studded with the vermilion
flowers, make them invaluable for decora-
tions, and nowadays they are a novelty
in many places, and the public is always
after a change. "William Scott.

CARNATION NOTES.-EAST.ir

Gu-e of Young Stock.

I have often noticed the inclination
of some growera to let the young stock
in a great measure shift for itself.
Sometimes the space along the edge
of a bench occupied by blooming
plants is used to stand them in and
they are even seen strung along the
edpe of the paths.

While every grower must utilize
bis space to bring the largest re-
turns, there is such a thing as giving
so much attention t6 immediate returns
that the stock intended for future rev-
enue is allowed to suffer. Placed in
damp, half-lighted or badly-ventilated
quarters, the only result will be weak,
jpindling plants, good subjects for dis-
ease. '!^

It is not necessary to give them a
house by themselves, or a bench having
rreat head room, but it is imperative
that there be room to breathe and this
neans space between the plants, a
sunnv situation and also provision fo^
abundant ventilation. The time is
quite near when the sun will raise the
temperature very rapidly between 10
a. m. and 2 p. m., therefore the matter
of ventilation is of great importance.

For several vears we have used a side
bench on the west of a north and south
house. A side ventilator opening direct-
ly out from this bench has contributed
much toward the thrifty growth we
have been able to maintain. After
planting out time, this bench is filled
with beddine or vegetable plant?), fol-
lowed by mums to be lifted and pot-
ted in late August, then filled with
field-rrown. dwarf stevia harvested dur-
ing December and Januarv, when it is
aeain readv for young carnations. I
make this dieression to show this space
is a navinp one, withal it is intended
mainlv for the reception of vouns stock.

The importance of keeping clear of

insect pests cannot be too strongly
urged, as by tbeir means various dis-
eases gain entrance. Aphides are the
most prevalent and at the same time
the easiest to combat. They invaria-
bly occupy the tender leaves in the
heart of the plant and are difficult
to dislodge, but with regular fumiga-
tion as a preventive, all trouble vrill
be avoided. The appearance of red
spider indicates decidedly wrong treat-
ment; probably too high temperature
and close atmosphere have weakened the
plants. Such conditions are eagerly
seized upon by these pests and once es-
tablished are, like the Russians in
Corea, hard to unseat, but it can and
must be done. Geo. S. Osborn.

CARNATION NOTES -WEST

Handling Stock of Novelties.

By this time you are receiving your
stock of new varieties, and a few hints
regarding the care of the cuttings and
plants will not be amiss. Inform your
local express agent not to send any of
your boxes out unless the wagon is com-
ing directly to your place, and not then
if the weather is cold. Have him call
you up by 'phone and then you can send
for the box and have the stock protected
from the cold. If the box shows any
signs of having been exposed to the
cold, do not open it in a warm room,
but keep it in a cool shed for several
hour?. 80 it can warm up gradually. You
■nill find in nearly all cases it is advisa-
ble to open the boxes in a cool room
rntlier than in a warm one.

Before unwrapping have everything
ready to pot up the cuttings, and do not
unwrap too many at a time. Remember
that these cuttings are not altogether the
same ns those yon take from your cut-
ting bed. They have been packed up
close for perhaps three or four days
and are softer than when they were taken
out of the san^ and will wilt quicker.
The soil should be the same as you use
for your own cuttings, good rotted sods,
the same as you use for planting, except

that you do not mix in any bono or other
fertilizer.

The size of pot will depend largely on
the cuttings and how well they are
rooted. For well rooted cuttings we use
mostly 2% -inch pots, but for cuttings
that are not strong or well rooted we
use 2-inch. Do not pot too deeply, but
set the cuttings into the soil deep enough
ro they will stand up well. Pot firmly.
As soon as they are potted and set away
water them sufficiently so the water will
go to the bottom of the pot. After the
water has soaked in dump one of them
or.t and see if it was sufficient. In case ~
you use new pots you vnll frequently have
to wiiter twice, unless you soak the pots
before potting.

Cover the cuttings with paper the first
two days, whether the sun shines or not,
and spray them each morning before cov-
ering. On sunny days they will need
shading at least a week, and if the sun
is quite strong dampen the papers about
noon to keep them from drawing moisture
from below. Set them on a good light
bench, where the sun will strike them
full. Always bear in mind that this is
your next season's stock, and the best of
culture in the field will not rectify any
neglect the young plants are subjected to
before they are planted out.

About 48 to 50 degrees is best for
them. They will make a' strong, sturdy
growth with thick stems and short joints,
and when you top them they will break
from several eyes. After they have taken
hold good, do not snray them except to
svringe for red spider or other insects.
Watch them closely for any kind of dis-
ease, and as soon as you notice any figr.s
pick off the diseased leave's and apply the
proper remedies. Do not over-water
tliem, but rather keep them a little on
Ihe dry side after active growth com-
Tiiences ; the growth will be firmer and
heaHhier.

Now, all the above apnlies to cuttings;
that rrrivo in ffood condition. But sup-
pose you roceive a box that shows that
the contents havp been subiefted to more
or less frost. If von see it before open-
ing the box, set it in a temperature of
40 to 45 degrees for about twelve hours
and let it warm up gradually. If you
open it before making the discovery, dip
the cuttings into a pail of cool water
several minutes before unwrapping and
set in a cool place an hour or two before
potting. Avoid sudden changes in all
eases.

Two Sides of the Flower of Carnation Fred BurkL

If the cuttinga are not so well rooted
as you might wish, don 't dump them back
into the box and send them back to the
shipper, but notify him at once and take
the best of care of them. If he is a fair
minded business man he will make allow-
ance or replace what you lose through
bis fault. If among them are some that
had the roots broken off in packing, they
will seldom fail to root if you stick them
into your propagating bed. That is much
wiser than to pot them along with the
rest. This often happens with some varie-
ties; one of the worst is Mrs. Lawson.
The roots branch out so much that the
main root, where it joins the cutting, is
often not able to support the large
bunch of roota and the sand that clings
to them.

When you pay ri good price for novel-
ties yop naturally expect good cuttings,
well rooted, and you have a perfect right
to. But on the other hand bear in mind
that in nine cases out of ten the dis-
seminator is pushed to the limit for early
dclivcT?es and often he is hardly to be
blamed if he takes a batch out of the
sand a few days sooner than he ought.
If the cuttings are the right sort and
they only lack in quantity of roots, you
should not lose your temper. Stick them
into llie cutting bed a week or Iwo and
you need not lose any of them. The
• lisscniinator is in most ca^cs n hard
worked and much abused man. Every-
body demands early delivery, and unless
he is riblc to caiciilate well' he is apt to
over-book on the early propagations, and
then is when his troubles commence. So
have patience and trust him to do the
very best he can for you, and if he falls
f-hort of your expectations don 't judge
him too harshly. A. F. J. Baur.

CAUSE OF STEM-ROT.

In the report of the carnation con-
vention I read where Mr. Weber and oth-
ers gave it as their opinion that much
stem-rot originates in the cutting bench.
J. too, think so. It may be that my ex-
l)erience will be of interest to some read-
ers of the Review. I have a range of
three-quarter span houses running east
and west, long span and ventilator facing
south ir all except the north house, which

lias its long span and ventilator facing
Jiorth. Years ago, when stem-rot first
began, I had my cutting bench in a cen-
ter house under the long span, with bot-
tom heat and no direct air, as the air
from the next house could not reach the
bench owing to there being no open space
lietween the houses and the ventilators in
the same house gave no direct air on that
bench. Consequently there was always a
waini moisture, very conducive to fungus,
«s f had to water often on account of
the bottom heat. Cutting bench fungus
started with a vengeance. I lost great
patches two and three feet square all
over the bench. Each dav I would have
to throw but the dead cuttings by the
liandful, and of those that managed to
escape some would die after planting
into soil and others would die by the
hundreds in the field, and still others
after planting in the houses in the fall,
jumI so on all through the winter, till by
spring my houses would only be half full.

I was nearly at my wits' end. I tried
using fresh sand each year and thorough-
ly drying the bench and then whitewash-
ing it and planting in fresh soil each
year to check it, but all to no purpose;
the disease went from bad to worse until
it occurred to me that the trouble lay
in the situation of my cutting bench. So
I changed it, and from that time, which
was eight or nine years ago, up to the
present I have had no trace of cutting
bench fungus or stem-rot except when
we have a wet summer ; then a few plants
may go off in the field, but very few, and
out of 15,000 planted in the houses not
more than ten or twelve have had to be
replaced.

My cutting bench ever since has been
in a house with the long span and ven-
tilator facing north. The bench used is
under the short span and facing the ven-
tilators of two houses, as the gutter
connecting those two houses is about
two and one-half feet from the bench
and is open, allowing a free circulation
of air to play over the well shaded bench.
There is no heat whatever under the
bench and very little in the whole house,
only one flow and return, 4-inch pipe,
along one side and across both ends,
which fails to keep the house above freez-
ing point in severe weather. Of course

cuttings root very slowly in such a cold
house, but every one roots and makes a
strong and healthy plant. I have only
to water them once, when first put in
the sand. I am positively sure, from my
own experience, that if benches that are
free from drip, with no bottom heat and
with plenty of air when necessary, are
used instead of out-of-the-way benches
that cannot be used for anything else,
stem-rot would disappear. R. Fischer.

CARNATION FRED BURKI.

At the Detroit carnation convention a
year ago there was no variety which at-
tracted more favorable attention than
Carnation Fred Burki. This is a white
seedling raised by John Murchie, at
Sharon, Pa., and named for the well
known cut flower grower for the Pitts-
burg market. It has fulfilled its early
promise and this season has given better
results thaji before. One of the accom-
panying illustrations shows a bench of
this variety at Mr. Murchie 's establish-
ment and the other shows the front and
back view of the flower. Mr. Murchie
says that he does not profess that it is
a first-class show flower or that it is the
freest bloomer or that it is free from all
the ills the carnation is heir to, but he
finds that it is the only white for which
he has use on his place. It has bloomed
constantly since early in October and up
to February 1 he had cut ten blooms to
the plant, every one salable and no burst
calyxes. The stems are good and strong.
Mr. Murchie and S. S. Skidelsky are put-
ting Fred Burki on the market jointly
and report a good sale for the cuttings
everywhere among those who have seen
the stock or the flower.

NOTES ON CARNATION GROWING.

[A i)ap«>r by Kdward A. Stroud, read
before the Florists' Club of Philadelphia.
February 7. 1905.]

I have been asked to speak on the
carnation and hardly know why, being
probably the youngest grower around
Philadelphia. ' However, if my experi-
ence will be of interest to any of you I
am pleased to give it, telling you of our
methods, which do not differ, as far as
I know, from the general cultivation of
the divine flower.

Doubtless after the ro£e the caroatipn,
is the mo6t useful^ lowers, its keeji^ns:'
qualitiejS^nd thB*7ow ^ice for which it
can be 'fought bringing it in contact
with th^* greatest number of people.
There h0. been some advancement made
in the cijRure of the carnation, due to
the intjsoduction of Lawson, by Peter
Fisher, which, to my mind, marks the
dividing line between the old and the
•* new.

The carnation indu&try may be classed
under tJhree heads: First, the growing
of the m);wer for the. gjublic; second, the
production for cuttings for the trade;
and, tbijrd, the raising of seedlings.
With us it would be impotoible to. handle
the three' together and ^e ' think each
grower should decide fpr' hijmself which
branch he and his place are best suited to
^nd which will bring him the best results.
We have taken up the cut flower produc-
tion and our experience has been a prac-
tical one. As far , as we can see there
is no great secret connected with pro-
ducing the flowers; we bav^ tried to ^fol-
low nature's laws, using common sense,
close attention to details, cleanliness and
houses well ventilated.

Start With Good Stock.

One of the most essential points, un-
doubtedly, is to have g«od stock to start

plants, such as Prosperity, Lawson and
Vi&iaikagOf following With, .thiBrs^r that
jMow hxoTe quickly. When- Itdo^^'^^ pot
them in ^-inch pots, then-intoJ'-S-iliOT and,
if neces^^fy, into 4-ineh. VWec'take great
care in watering, not allftwi^g the young
plants to sxv£ter at any time for want of
it; this insures us clean growth. ^

Field vs. Indoor CviitisPtif---y' /• • •;

From the propagating house \we move
them into the field or into the bench, the
latter method being adopted by most of
our modern growers. Our slight experi-
ence with indoor culture has not been a
decided success over field culture, .and
we think that in our climate, situated as
we are, a compromise between the two
is much the best. We have adopted the
plan of early propagating, planting in
the field as soon as the weather permits
and lifting the plants the middle of June.
These measures have given us the best
resylts, although we feel that to make a
fair test,' planting in the house should be
in^e t^ same tun^e, as in the, field, and^
not early' in June, aS we heretofore have
(lone.

The objection to indoor culture might
be the throwing out of our plants before
Iv'ecoration day and the poor prices ob-
tainable during the chrysanthemum sea-
son. We throw out our old plants in

Alexander Montgomery, Jr.

with, for if the young stock is unhealthy
there is little hope of ever obtaining
first-class blooms. We select our stock
carefully, from flowering stems as much
as possible, but of course on some of
the new varieties we buy we are com-
pelled to cut closer in order to get suffi-
cient stock. We first put in the sand
those that take the longest time to make

July, take out the soil, whitewash the
benches and then give a thorough fumi-
gation, after which the soil is replaced as
quickly as possible, extra labor being
hired for this purpose. Last year our
houses (of which there are three, each
30x308) were emptied on July 17 and
planted with new stock by August 3. This
we consider very important as it would

be very poor economy to let the work
drag%g,. ^^^., ■-■^'. ,_

T^jCbmpost. *» ^

We make a compost heap eviery fall,
consisting of one part cow manure to
thiee parts of soil, adding aJmfe air-
slaJted Ume to sweeten things up a bit. We
'urn the pile once in the spring and again
before it is wheeled into thei houses.
There is one point in regard to (jpil which
we consider • very important,- ■^hat we
term its mechanical condiUpti, which
means a soil which wiljp drain water
freely, and at the same time distribute
food to-^the roots. This is particularly
important after planting from the field.

The bewildering subject of stem-rot
and its causes is, to my mind, due to im-
paired root action and a drowning pro-
cess of watering. This can occur in the
propagating bench, the pot, the flats, or
the fields, and a check of some sort is
generally responsible for it.

We plant carefully, firing the ground
around each plant, and ir^sortto frequent
syringings, watering' ptatntff' as little as
possible while they are getting estab-
lished. During planting we shade the
^ouses lightly with cloth, removing it
as soon as the plants have taken hold of
the soil. Then the daily routine of stak-
ing, disbudding and watering begins and
we are underway.

What Varieties.

The question of what varieties to grow
is always an interesting one, the ten-
dency nowadays being after something
new, and it is hard to resist the tempta-
tion to buy new varieties on seeing the
exhibits at our flower shows. It is well
to be progressive but we would advise the
man with limited glass not to attempt
too many. Three or four, in the various
colors, which require the same lieatment,
is best. It takes some time to become
acquainted with the carnation and the
special care it likes and we do not pass
judgment without givir.g each variety a
fair trial, which cannot always be accom-
plished in a year. The competition in
carnations is becoming stronger every
day. The people no longer ask for a
white, pink or red, but mention the name
of the bloom desired and for this reason
we th.ink it is a good thing to tag each
v.ith its name when it goes to market;
in this way the public become acquainted
with the different varieties and we find
out what is most popular.

By keeping careful records we find that
those that produce the greatest number
of l!owers are not necessarily the most
profitable. Our experience proves that it
pays to work together with our commis-
sion man, keeping him posted as to what
we will hi^ve and when we will ship. This
gives him an opportunity to make sales
which he might otherwise lose. We ad-
vise frequent visits to the wholesaler,
not T;ece6sarily to see the proprietor but
to examine the goods there, see how they
arc keeping and to compare them with
the product of other growers. Valuable
lessons may be learned in this way. It
is hardly necessary to call your atten-
tion to careful bunching and packing.

In conclusion, I would quote Mr. Fred
Lemon when he said at the earns tion
convention, "If you wish to succeed,
nothing is too much trouble."

Lapeer, Mich.— W. H. Watson is
planning to erect another very large car-
nation house in the early spring.

An Attractive Bed of Ficus, Grevillea Robusta and Ivy at Lincoln Park, Chicago.

ALEX. MONTGOMERY, JR.

The subject of this sketch, whose
portrait appears herewith, was bom at
Natick, Mass. in 1875, and was grad-
uated from the Massachusetts Agricul-
tural College in 1898. In the depart-
ment of military science, which is a
required course, he attained the rank of
captain in his senior year and received
commendation for having shown marked
proficiency in this branch. Since grad-
uation he has been elected to member-
ship in the Phi Kappa Phi, one of the
honorary Greek letter fraternitiea
which has recently been established at
this institution.

Mr. Montgomery is an enthusiastic
rose grower, ana has a knowledge of
his specialty such as seldom comes to
a man so young in years, as he has
served in all departments of the indus-
try, the Waban Rose Conservatories, un-
der his father, Alex. Montgomery, Sr.,
president of the American Bose Society,
with whom he is now associated in the
management of what has long been rec-
ognized as one of New England's lead-
ing establishments for the production
of high-grade cut flowers.

Mr. Montgomery, Jr., is the author of
the article on Grafted Roses, which has
been running in the Review, and which
is the most important contribution to
the literature of the rose made in many
years.

PROPAGATING nCUS.
I shall be glad to read in the Re-
view some directions for propagating
the rubber tree, Ficus elastica. A. R.

The most common method of propa-
gating Ficus elastica is by topping, this
operation consisting in making a slant-
ing cut about half way through the shoot
of the ficus, and then binding a lump
of damp moss about the size of a hen's
egg, or a little larger, around the cut.
The cut should be made about the fourth
leaf from the top,** and in order to keep
the cut open to some extent it is a good
practice to draw the binding twine
through it before wrapping it around
the moss.

The plants so treated are kept in a
warm greenhouse, a temperature of 65
degrees being about right, and the moss
kept continusilly moist and as soon
&fl the roots are seen issuing through
the moss the tops may be cut ofP below

the moss, and potted up into 3-inch or
3% -inch pots, then placed in the same
or a similar warm house, and shaded
from the sun for about a week, by
which time they should be sufficiently
established to stand full exposure.

When potting off the cuttings do not
attempt to remove the moss, or the ten-
der young roots are likely to be broken.

At this season ficus tops may take
from four to six weeks to root, bu*-
during the summer they will frequently*
form roots in about three weeks, much
depending upon the condition of the
shoots, large and sappy growths requir-
ing more time than the short-jointed and
firai side shoots, and of course the plants
must have regular conditions of heat and*
moisture to ensure success.

A BED OF ncua ^f

A simple but much admired orna-
mental bed in the outdoor display at
Lincoln park, Chicago, during the sea-
son of 1904 was platitisd with Heus elas-
tica and Grevillea robusta, with a bor-
der of ivy. Ficus elastica ^ne is very
stiff, but together with the graceful
Grevillea robusta makes a very haQno-
nious effect and each helps the other to
bring out its best points. Head-gar-
dener Frey says that the grevilleas were
seedlings, sowed in January, and the
ficus were rooted in February, grown on
in 41^ -inch pots and, after having been
gradually hardened off, were plunged
vrith the pots right in the hot sun at
the beginning of June, where they kept
on growing delightfully and attracted
much attention.

PITTSBiURG FLORISTS' CLUB, .v'3

Tuesday evening, February 7, was the
regular monthly meeting of the Pittsburg
and Allegheny Florists' and Gardeners'
Club. It was carnation night and elec-
tion of officers for the ensuing year. It
was one of the largest meetings we have
ever held, the hall being filled to the
door. The routine business showed a
niombership of 153, every bill paid and
money in the treasury, and two new nomi-
nations for membership. The club is
one of the most vigorous and most alive
in the country and one in which there is
absolutely no dissension, clique or jeal-
ousy.

Mr. Falconer, the retiring president.

having been in the chair for several
years, declined a renomination, and T. P.
Langbans was elected president. All of
the other officers of the preceding year
were re-elected. A silver service wa»
presented Mr. Falconer.

We had a splendid lot of carnations on
exhibition and members Burki, Clarke
and Wyland, who had been at the Chi-
cago carnation meeting last month, told
us a good deal about what they saw there
and th|^ kind treatment they received.
The Piftfeburg Cut B^wer Co. showed
a vase each of all the leading varieties
nOw bo^ig consigned to them. Albert
Lorch, of Dfehaven, sent a mixed lot of
magnificfent flowers, and so did T. Jen-
kihson, -)^r. Peacock's gardener.

F,. ii,' Pi6lSon, Tarrytown, N. Y., sent
a large bunch of Whitie Lawson and also
one of Variegated Lawson, splendid flow-
ers, and they kept well. The Pittsburg
Gazette became enthused over these Law-
sons and printed a prominent illustrated
article about them in i,ts l^xt Sunday 's
edition, • ., * ^'^" . w

John E. Haines, Bethlehem, Pa., sent
a fine lot of the magnificent scarlet va-
riety, his own namesake, also of a
variegated one called Imperial, a yellow
named Star of Bethlehem, and a most
promising white one labeled No. 35. The
pcarlet in particular was higrhly favored.
We had it last year and its fine keeping
qualities were well remembered.

My Maryland, an inimitable white,
came from H. Weber & Sons, Oakland,
Md., large in size, graceful and erect in
form, purity in color and delightfully
fragrant. It is a gem.

Guttman & Weber, New York, sent a
box of their lovely scarlet, Victory. It
captured every heart. It stood up well
and kept in fine form for several days.
Our members who saw it at the Chicago
meeting declared emphatically in favor
of it.

A. B. Davis & Son, Purcellville, Va.,
sent a generous exhibit of the Red Sport
of Maceo that the members regarded
ffivorablv. Fred Burki declared that it
had the look of a fine commercial variety.
Crisis, a very fine scarlet, large and of
fine form and beautiful color, and a good
keeper, was shown by J. L. Dillon,
Bloomsburg, Pa.

Henry A. Dreer, Philadelphia, sent a
lot of plants of hardy pinks in 4-ineh

The Compost.

W'c make a coiii|»ost lieap every fall,
coii«ibtin<; of one }iart eow niauure to
Miiee parts of soil, addin*^ some air-
•;laked liuic to hwocten tiiiiifjs up a bit. We
urn the pile once in the sprinjj and ayaiu
before it is wheeled into the houses,
'''here is one point in re<i;ard to soil Avhieh
we consider very important, what we
term its mechanical condition, wiiitdi
means a soil wliicli will drain water
freely, aiul at the same time distriltute
food to the roots. This is particularly
important after planting from the lield.

Tiio bewildering subject of sbni int
and its causes is, to my mind, due to im-
paired root action and a drowning |ii'o-
cess of watering. This can occur in the
pio2nignting bench, the \>ot, the flats, or
tiic fields, and a cheek of some sort is
generally resjionsible for it.

Wf, plant carefully, firming the ground
around each jilant, ami resort to fre(|uent
syriiigings, watering plants as little as
possible while thev ;irc getting estali
.'ished. IHiring jdanting we shade the
I'lCiM s lightly with cloth, removing it
as .snni; ;!.s tlio plants li.avo taken hold of
liie soil. Then the daily routine of stak-
iiig. disbudding and watering begins and
v\ e a n 11 ndei way.

What Varieties.

I lie (lue-stiun of wliat varieties to grow
is always an iideresting one, the ten-
dency nowadays being after something
new, and it is hard to resist the tempta-
tion to buy new varieties on seeing the
exhibits at our tlower shows. It is well
to be ]irogrcssive but we would advise the
man with limited glass not to attempt
tio .nan^■. Three or four, in the various
colors, \'. hich retinire the same lieatment,
is be~t. It takes some lime to become
ac(|iiain:ed with tlie carnation and the
special tare it likes atid wc do not pass
judgiiK'Ht without giviig ( ach variety a
lair llial, which cannot a.'wtiys be iiccom-
plished in ;i year. The competition in
carnations is becoming strimger every
day. The )ieopl(> no longer ask for a
vvhite, pink or red, but mention the name
nf the bliioin desii'ed ami for this reason
wo tlindv it is a good tidng to tag each
^ilii it- name when it goes to market;
III this way tlie public become acquainted
wiih till different varieties and wo find
niit w ha t is innsi poyuilar.

By k(i|nng cni'ful records we find that

An Attractive Bed of Ficus, Grevillca Robusta and Ivy at Lincoln Park, Chicago.

ALEX. MONTGOMERY, JR.

Tlie subject of this sketch, whose
[Kirtrait api)ears herewith, was born at
Xatick, Mass. in 1875, and was grad-
uated from the Massaclnisetts Agricul-
tural College iu 1S98. J a the depart-
ment of military science, which is a
required course, he attained tlio rank of
raptain in his seiiidr year and received
"onnncDdation for having shown marked
proficieni-y in this branch. Since grad-
uation he has been elected to member-
ship in the Phi Kappa Phi, one of the
honorary (ireck letter fraternities..
which has recently been established at
tliis institution.

.Mr. Montgomery is an cntiiusiastic
rose gmwer, ana has a knowledge of
his specialty such as seldom comes to
a man so young in years, as be has
served in all departments of the indus-
try, the Waban L'osc Conservatories, un-
'Icr his father, Alex. Montgomery. Sr.,
president of the American Rose Society,
with whom he is now associated in the
management of what has long been rec-
I'gnized a? one of New England's lead-
ing establisliments for the production
"f high-grade cut flowers.

Mr. Montgomery, Jr., is the author of
the article on Grafted Roses, which has
been running in the Revikw', and which
is the most important contribution to
tiie literature of the rose made in many
>'nrs.

PROPAGATING FICUS.

I shall be glad to read in the Re-
viKw s<i!iie direi-titins for prnpac^ating
'Kf rubber ircc. I'it-us elastit.'i. A. R.

Tlie rno'-t ooninuin methud of pro[)a
^';itiii^' Ficus elastica is by topping, this
•■[•eration consisting in making a slant-
"II,' cut about half way through tlie shoot
"f the fii'us, and then binding a lump
'f damj) moss about the size of a hen's
••::tr. or a little larger, around the cut.
The cut should be made about the fourth
leaf from tlie top,' and in order to keep
the cut ojien to some extent it is a good
practice to draw the bindinir twine
through it liefor-' wrapping it around
the moss.

The plants so treated are k< pt in a
warm greenhouse, a temperature of GF)
degrees being about ri^ht, and tli«' moss
kept continually moist and as soon
IS the roots arc seen issuing through
*be moss the tops may be cut off below

the nuisi-, and p(jtted up into J! iiuli or
3ii.-'ut^l» pots, then placed in the same
or a similar warm house, and shaded
from the sun for about a, week, by
which time they sluudd be sutTiriently
established to stand full ex[iosure.

When potting off the cuttings do !iot
attempt to remove the moss, or the ten-
der young roots are likely to be broken.

At this season ficus tops may take
from four to six weeks to root, but
durinjT th<> summer they will frequently
form roots in about three weeks, much
depending upon the condition of the
shoots, large and say)py growths requir-
ing more time than the short-jointed and
lirm side shoots, and of course the plants

are perfectly hardy here and do well and
live year after year, spreading into big
mats, which in early summer are a sheet
of white or pink or purple blooms, ac-
cording to variety. Anyone doing job-
bing, gardening, park or cemetery work
should grow these hardy pinks extensive-
ly. They always give satisfaction.

SETTING FOR TUBULAR BOILER.

I have a horizontal tubular boiler three

There are twenty-eight 3-inch flues eight
feet long. The grate bars are three
feet. I would like a description of the
brickwork to go around the boiler. Ii
nut or pea coal cheaper to burn than
lump coal? How often should the flues
be cleaned! How many square feet of
glass can be heated with this boiler f
How often ought I to have to fire it to
keep up steam when it is 20 degrees be-
low zero outside? Beginner.

The brickwork suitable for your boiler
can be shown better by a diagram than
by description. See the accompanying
illustration. The boiler should be
placed so that the water line in the
boiler will be three or four feet below
the lowest point in the returns in the
houses, so as to give a good gravity re-
turn. The boiler pit should be large
enough to allow room in front for clear-
ing the flues and space enough in the
rear to clean out any soot or ashes which
may collect on the under side of the
boiler shell or in the space back of the
fire-box. A door should also be provided
at the rear, close to the bottom of the
boiler, to admit of cleaning this part of
the boiler. The excavation for the boiler
setting need not be brought down to a
common level. The floor level need only
be carried back far enough to give
space for the ash pit and bridge wall,
the earth may be allowed to remain in-
tact back of the bridge wall to the
height of the ash pit. This will save
both in cost of excavation and cost of
brickwork. This is shown in the sketch
between H and J.

About 700 fire brick will be needed
and about 4,000 arch brick to build the
setting. Walls eighteen inches thick
should be carried up above the fire line,
but from that point up they may be re-
duced to thirteen inches. The brick
work should be made about two inches
larger, inside measurement, than the di-
ameter of the boiler over all, and after
the boiler has been hung on its lugs, or
bearings, a course of brick should be
set up to within about a quarter of an
inch of the boiler shell. The brickwork
should be carried about two courses
above the level of the top of the shell
of t"he boiler. The space above the
boiler should be filled with sand or dry
ashes to form a jacket to prevent loss
by direct radiation from the boiler.

An 8-inch stack should be large enough
but I believe that a 10-inch one would
be better and that it should be high
enough to extend a foot or two above
the ridge of any near-by buildings. In
case there are no buildings I would not

uiakc the stack less than sixteen to
twenty feet tall.

In general it may be said that pea or
buckwheat will be found to be the most
economical form of anthracite coal to
use in a low pressure plant. With hard
coal it should be sufficient to clean the
flues once in two days; with soft coal
they should bs cleaned every twenty-four
hours.

The boiler specified has a capacity for
about 500 feet of radiation, which should
carry about 2,500 feet of glass at 70
degrees, or about 3,000 feet at 60 de-
grees. The frequency of firing will de-
pend altogether upon the efficiency of
the dampers, the kind of fuel used and
the ability of the fireman to make a fire.

NEV YORK.

The Market

No sooner had we materialized a re-
spectable temperature in the east than
they sent on a 24 degrees below zero
zephyr from Chicago that blasted all the
hopes of the market's recovery. All last
week was severely cold until Saturday.
Then came a closing out of gathereil
surplus, especially jpf violets, price being
the last consideration. It would be im-
possible to say how many were in the
ice boxes, or of what uncertain age some
of them had become. Certain it is that
hundreds of thousands were disposed of
at $1 per thousand. No wonder the
grower opens inquiring eyes upon re-
turns, little realizing that very often he
has received a considerable advance upon
the price actually obtained by the con-

scientious commission man. But Satur-
day's temperature was too good to last
and, after Sunday's steady downpour a
chilly greeting was not unexpected.

Roses have become plentiful again.
Their quality is superb, but prices have
fallen all along the line. Few Beauties
reached over 50 cents and with rare ex-
ceptions could Brides and Maids com-
mand over 12 cents for special grades.
Carnations flood the market. Inferior
stock accumulates heavily and even the
finest will not clear without heavy con-
cessions. Bulbous stock continues to ar-
rive in battalions. The finest daffodils
hang back at $2 per hundred and tulips
and narcissi are over abundant. A
change for the better cannot be delayed
much longer. The consolation of "it
cannot be worse ' ' has been doing the
comforting stunt so long it has lost its
efficacy. Big bails, receptions and even
the dinners of the holiday were not po-
tent enough to dispel the gloom. To add
to the general pessimism many of the
wholesalers are under the weather, some
of them seriously ill. Jack Gunther and
Jos. Millang were fighting bad cases of
la grippe all the week.

Various Notes.

The Arion ball is over and Hanft
Bros, did themselves proud, as has been
their custom for a quarter of a century.

The dinner of the Republican Club,
which the President attended at* the Wal-
dorf Astoria, was made brilliant by the
splendid floral decorations of Wadley &
Smythe. American Beauties and pink
roses, with an abundance of palms were
used. Boutonnieres of white carnations

for 1,500 were provided and the ladies*
corsages consisted of American Beauties
tied with red. white and blue ribbon*
and tiny American flags.

Retail windows these days give no in-
dication of the outside weather. It would
take no flight of the imagination when
gazing at them to see the robins' nests
again. Blaster and spring will arrive on
the same train this year alid people are
beginning preparations for the holiday
rejoicing already. The buying of flow-
ering plants has begun. With the enor-
mous supply in and around New York,
it is a certainty there will not be
enough to go around. The early birds
ought to be flying to Whitestone and
Rutherford and College Point and Flat-
bush, without delay. Procrastination is
not only the thief of time, but of oppor-
tunity.

Qub Meeting.

Notwithstanding the cold wave, the
banner meeting of the New York Club
was held on Monday evening, over 200
being present, nearly half of whom were
the lady visitors, it was ladies' night
and a royal time was provided for the
fair guests, which they heartily enjoyed.
Professor Black sang Scotch songs in a
rich baritone voice that stirred every
Scottish soul in the assemblage, John
Birnie and Alex. Wallace giving signs
of exaltation before the music of tlie
bagpipes ceased. Mrs. L. J. Kreshover
played the piano accompaniments for
Prof. Breining, tenor soloist. Miss Bessie
Butters played the violin with rare skill
and sweetness, her sister, Miss Mar-
guerite, accompanying her on the piano.

All the artists were frequently encored.
Professor Cameron, the bagpipe king,
played his pipes skillfully and was in
Highland costume, as were Jessie Cam-,
eron and Annie and Jennie Birnie. Their
sword and fancy dances were one of the
greatest hits of th^ evening. J. B. Nu-
gent sang some of the old songa sweetly
and his fellow memb^trs voted him the
star performer of the occasion. The car-
nations were distributed among the la-
dies at the close of the entertainment.

The exhibitors of the evening were J.
E. Haines, of Bethlehem, Pa., a vase of
John E. Haines; J, L. Dillon, Crisis;
Wm. Duckham, Enchantress; Guttman &
Weber, Victory; M. Ai Patten, Mikado;
John Reimels, pink seedling No. 31
and Variegated Lawson; Sea Cliff
Nursery, pink seedling Long Island
Beauty; H. Weber & Sons, variegated
seedling No. b3 and My Maryland; F.

The Daheim and Victory on exhibi-
tion formed a part of the table decora-
tions at the dinner of the Hungaariaa
Republican Club on Tuesday evening,
President Roosevelt being a guest of the
organization. The whole exhibit was
most creditable to' all' cbneemed and in
beauty, value, variety and novelty has
never been excelled at any club meeting
in this country.

Mr. Webery of Oakland, Md., the essay-
ist of the evening, read a very interest-
ing and exhaustive paper on "Carnation
Diseases." Mr. O'Mara followed the
easayist with an interesting and amusing
criticism elaborating on the subjects of
the origin of disease, immunity and san-
itation. F. R Pierson gave an interest-
ing address on similar lines, citing his
«wm experiences. Mr. Haines, of Beth-
lehem, wa« called upon for partic-
olarB concerning his fine red, John E.
Haines and A. J. Guttman spoke on
Victory, the great scarlet that is to be
disseminated in 1906 through the F. R.
Pierson Co. Mr. Weber spoke- lovingly
of his child. My Marylaind, whose par-
entage is Lawson and Norway and which
he characterizes as "an invigorated Law-
son."

Mr. O'Mara, for the committee on
awards, reported at length the new rules
governing the committee's work in the
future and the consideration of the same
was deferred until March. Five new
members were elected and six nomina-
tions were read. The question box con-
tained an inquiry as to the relative merits
of the rose, the chrysanthemum, the car-
nation and the fern and the president
appointed, to lead the discussion at the
next meeting, Haa-ry May, Wm. Duck-
liam, John Birnie and John Scott.

The Bowling Club met at 3 p. m. on
Monday. Arrangements were made to
fcecept the challenge on the Hoboken alleys
on March 4, to begin promptly at 7
0 'clock. John Birnie promises a ' stren-
monfi time. For the deciding game with*
Madison, the rival captains are author-
ijsed to determine the alleys and the

date. ■ Several visitors enjoyed the after-
noon bowling. It was also determined
to change the hours of bowling to 4

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

February, the . month of carnations
that are for us and holidays that are
not for us, is proving a month of snow
and intense cold, interfering with the
natural flow of business. Conditions
and prices are very much the same as a
week ago. There is a good deal of
shipping business, but an irregular local
demand, and a good supply of stock
except in choice roses. Spring flowers
are more and more in evidence, with
prices easier. Carnations are not always
sellers. An enterprising fakir opened a
store at Twelfth and Market streets to
work off a surplus of divine flowers last
Saturday with a bell, att^actipn; St.
Valentine's created a fair demand, es-
pecially for pdnsie^, violets, etc., but the
weather was very unfavorable.

Camatioh Night. ' ; ''

The February meeting of the Florists '
Club was exceedingly well attended. A
very interesting display of new and high
grade carnations was the attraction. H.
Weber & Sons, Oakland, Md., sent My
Maryland, a superb white of great size
and substance that won universal admira-
tion. Alexander J. Guttmaii, t)f Weber
& Guttmauj New York, brought Victory,
a very fine red. The vase of fifty blooms
was stl-ikingly handsome. John £'. Haines,
Bethlehem, Pa., brought a bunch of his
new red seedling, John E. Haines, a large
full flower, borne erect on strong stems,
which seemed to please the critics, also
a number of promising seedlings, among
them Star of Bethlehem, a very free
blooming yellow. Davis Bros., of Blooms-
burg, Pa,, sent their new scarlet. Crisis,
which looked well; Mary Albert, a
pleasing white, and an unnamed pink.

Joseph Black's Son & Co., of Hights-
town, N. J., sent four flowers and buds of
a white seedling of which they have only
two plants as yet. This seedling has blue

I blood and is worth watching. John Kuhn
brought four pretty seedlings. A pink
No. 13 was very attractive. There was
also another light pink of promise. No.
16, a deeper pink and a red.

Last but by no means least, the Straf-
ford Flower Farm brought seven standard
varieties of fine quality. Enchantress,
Prosperity, Judge Hinsdale Mrs. Lawson,
Harry Fenn, Flamingo and Mrs. Patten.
They were arranged by a floral artist,
George Faulkner, and were greatly ad-
mired.

John Westcott called the meeting to

' order, G. C. Watson acting as secretary.

! After the minutes of two previous meet-
ings were read, Robert Kift's committee
report on the exhibits adopted and sev-
eral new members elected, Edward A.
Stroud read a very clever paper on * * New
Ideas in Carnations." The paper was

' clear and forceful and full of thought.

( Mr. Stroud, who received a hearty vote

• of thanks, had mastered an attack of
grippe in order to be present. The re-

I marks that followed were very interest-

I ing. Horace T. Dumont dosed the meet-
ing by singing two songs, which were

heartily applauded. William Swayne, of
Kennett Square, Pa., was present.

The Amateur Rose Growers.

Ask any well informed city florist who
had the most American Beauty roses at
Christmas. The answer will be Myers
& Samtman. Go out to their place at
Wyndmoor and you will be 'convinced.
Philadelphia has a great reputation for
Beauties, but it is doubtful if any of
her famous places ever cut as many
long-stemmed flower? for the holidays
as did this firm during the last days of
1904. Their plants have proved doers,
sun or no sun, and the way they stand
by their customers, support the Flower
Market and fill any stray orders during
the busy season is quite wonderful.
Good as are the figures of the cut, they
are not so impressive as the appearance
of the plants', bearing evidence of heavy
cutting, yet with quantities of long,
straight shoots everywhere, mostly topped
with bud or "bloom. .,.. „, _

The stock is all bench gyown, an in-
teresting point in these d&j^s of solid
beds. The . f orepian, Marty, i would like
to try solid fc|eds,, but h6' says the firm
won't hqflxof it wliil^ thje plants bloom
so. Suffifise h^s done exceptionally weli
in the narrow propagating house. The
first batjh of Beauty cuttings is nicely
rooted, ready for potting. 'Much of the
firmi's success is due to the advanced
ideas of Frank P. Myert, who had the
courage to specialize at a- time when
general collections of varieties were the
rule, and the work of George Samtman,
who has become a past-master in the
art of distributing his product.

The Germantown Society.

The February meeting of the German-
town Horticultural Society was held last
Monday evening in Association hall. S.
Mendelson Meehan had arranged an elab-
orate program entitled "Our Horticulr
tural Indebtedness to Japan." John T.
Morris, president of the Chestnut Hill
Horticultural Society, opened the subject
with a very polished lecture, describing
his trip to Japan and the places he had
seen there. The lecture was illustrated
by a set of stereopticon views coUected
by Mr. Morris while in Japan. They
were charmingly colored and very inter-
esting, showing tea and rice growing, va-
rious trees, water views, etc. The slides
were handled by Dr. Norman H. Keyser.

George D. Clark, of Henry A. Dreer,
followed with a practical paper on Jap-
anese bulbs. Mr. Clark dwelt chiefly on
lilies, describing varieties, their merits
and their culture, a tnost valuable pa-
per. The evening was closed with a pa-
per from the pen of Joseph Meehan on
"Trees and Shrubs of Japan" read by
George Redles. This paper was clear,
bright and full of interest. Two other
papers were held over for want of time.

Various Notes.

Robert Crawford, Jr., now owns the
greenhouses at Secane and H. T. Dumont

Answers to Gurespondents.

REVIEW readers are Invited to send any
questions relating to culture or marketing of
plants and flowers In Philadelphia to Phil l-i
care of any of the leading seed or commissi jn
bouses or the Floyver Market. E!ach question
win be submitted to a competent person and
answered under number. Correct name and ad-
di-ess must always accompany Inquiry, but will
not be published.

29. — Do you know of anyone growing
first grade carnations in very heavy soil,
such as that found very near your city?
Yes. Edward A. Stroud, of the Strafford
Flower Farm. The examples are, how-
ever, few, the bulk of carnations sent to
this market being grown on light soil
far from town, due more to economical
reasons than on apcount of the soil.

30. — ^Would you suggest growing roses
entirely in such soil? Yes, with proper
additions to supply d«ficien(5lesl There
have been instances of the soil being
made lighter for certain varieties, but
they are rare.

31. — Is Vesper giving any trouble as
to keeping qualities? Yes, at times.

32. — Would you consider it a profit-
able market sort? Vesper is a free
bloomer, has long stiff stems and is not
apt to burst. It is a fine carnation, out
unlikely to prove profitable.

33. — Is Golden Gate a profitable rose
for the Philadelphia market? Golden
Orate is hardly a variety for every day
in this market. It has proved very prof-
itable in limited quantities when well
done. , Phil.

BOSTON.

The Market.

The market has been rather erratic
the past week, very poor on some daya
and quite active and good on February
10 and 11. Weather conditions hav6
militated against the producers as well
as retailers. It has been too cold for
the fakirs to do anything on the streets.
They handle a lot of stuff during mild
weather, which, while not of the best
quality, would be largely lost if they
did not purchase it,

Roses continue in rather short supply
and maintain previous' quotations. Car-
nations have brought about $3 per hun-
dred for good stock, fancies and novel-
ties making $4 to $6. Violets continue
to arrive in large quantities. The top
price has been 75 cents for the finest
Princess of Wales. Good grades of both
doubles and singles have made 50 cents,
poorer samples going as low as 30 cents.
Yellow trumpet nareissi are no* ««Ylv-
ing in big quantiti^. As . a rule '-tMey
have cleared out remarkably weil, ilot-a
flowfer remaining unsold on onb- or! two
days. Prices average $2. Some ettW
fine Golden Spur made $3. Liliums are
not plentiful, a few longiflorum begin y
ning to supplement the Harrisii. Loly
of the valley has "been selling rather
slowly* Sweet peas are now coming of
very fine quality, Mont Blanc being most
in evidence. ;^

The Exhibition.

The regular mid-winter show of 'the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society ■<vjt^
this year joined in by the wholesalfe
flower markets, each of which offered a
number of prizes. The result ivaa a
very fine show, especially of carnations,
and we hope to see this annual exhibi-
tion made one of the features of the
local horticultural world. There is cer-
tainly no reason why, if the horticultural
society and markets co-operate, it can-
not be made a credit to Boston and one
of the finest to be seen in the country.

Carnations had seventeen classes al-
lotted to them and were, of course, the
star feature of the show. Competition
was quite good in nearly all classes. For
the society's prizes, which called for
twenty-five blooms of each color, Pete?
Fisher won for white with fine Lady
Bountiful, M. A. ir'atten being seconid
with The Belle, and H. A. Stevens Co.
third with Wolcott. Patten showed a
splendid vase of Lady Bountiful in
which, however, one or two flowers were
getting sleepy. For scarlet Backer &
Co. were in the lead, C. E. Dickerman
being second, each showing Flamingo.
Enchantress won everything in the light
pink class. Patten & Co., S. J. Goddard
and Stevens Co. winning in order named.
For dark pink Wm. Nicholson won with
fine Lawson, L. E. Small being second
for the same variety and Patten third
for Nelson Fisher. Mrs. Patten was in-
vincible in the variegated dass, Messrs.
Nicholson, Patten and Fisher being the
winners. For crimson, Nicholson, Pat-
ten and Backer & Co. won, all showing
Harry Fenn. In a good class of yellow-
Patten won with fine Dorothy Wbitney,
Backer & Co. being second and third with
Dorothy Whitney and Eldorado.

In the Park street market classes for
fifty blooms Peter Fisher won in the
white class with splendid Lady Bouhti-
ful. Patten being second with the same
variety. S. J. Keuter showed a fine vase
of Vesper in this class. Peter Fisher
won for scarlets with fine Flamingo. He
was also in the lead for Ught pink with
Enchantress, S. J. Renter and E. N.
PeirtJe & Co. being second and third.
For dark pink Patten & Co. won with
the best Nelson Fisher in the show,
Renter second with Lawson. Peter
Fisher's new seedling. No. 113, was the
winner in the crimson class. These were
far ahead of any others shown in their
color, stems stiff and flowers large and
well formed, perhaps a trifle too dark to
suit some, very similar in shade to Har-
lowarden, with which Reuter secured sec-
ond prize. Mrs. Patten took everything
in the variegated class, Patten & Co.
leading, followed by Peter Fisher and
the Stevens Co. Patten & Co. also won
for yellow with Dorothy Whitney. Wm.
Nicholson won for 100 mixed blooms
with a fine vase.

The Music Hall market classes were
well competed for. For fifty Fair Maid
H. A. Stevens Co. woi^ with finely colored
flowers. A. Roper, who was second, had
much larger flowers but somewhat lack-
ing in color. For fifty blooms any white
variety C. E. Dickerman won with White
Lawson, L. E. Small being second with
his seedling, No. 3. For twenty-five
blooms of any new seedling Patten &
Co. won with Mikado, L. E. Small being
second with lis seedling. For 100 double
violets H. F. Woods won with fine
Campbell, L. E. Small beirfg isecond with

the same variety. For 100 Princess of
Wales H. F. Woods was again in the
lead with splendid flowers, William Sim
being second. For twenty-five mignonette
Wm. Nicholson and A. H. Fewkes were
winners. William Sim was first for 100
sweet peas with very fine Mont Blanc,
Malcolm Orr being second for tine flow-
ers of the same sort. For twenty-five
blooms of any other rose than American
Beauty, Waban Rose Conservatories were
first for a fine vase of Wellesley. A
special prize for 100 carnations in not
over three varieties arranged for effect
was won by Patten & Co.

The society's prizes for 100 double
violets went to Malcolm Orr, L. E. Small
and A. F. Cooli^ge, all showing Camp-
bell. For 100 single Wm. Sim won with
Princess of Wales. J. H. White, James
Wheeler, gardener, who was second,
showed larger flowers but a little paler
in color. M. B. Dallachie was third.
There was a strong entry for six plants
of Primula obconica. G. F. Fabyan,
James Stuart, gardener, was flrst and
second and Mrs. J. L. Gardner, Wm.
Thatcher, gardener, third. For six Pri-
mula stellata E. A. Clark, W. A. Riggs,
gardener, was first and Mrs. J. L. Gard-
ner second. E. J.- Mitton, J. Lawson,
gardener, had the best six Primula
Sinensis, followed by G. F. Fabyan and
Mrs. J. L. Gardner. For six Gloire de
Lorraine begonias M. S. Stevens, Walter
Angus, gardener, won with excellent
plants, E. A. Clark being second.

In the way of miscellaneous exhibits
Robert Cameron, from Harvard Botanic
Garden, put up a fine table of Primula
obconica and a nicely flowered batch of
Lachenalia Nelsoni. Mrs. A. W. Blake,
H. Wild, gardener, had a good plant of
Cypripedium Dauthieri. Francis Skin-
ner had a display of Primula- Sinensis.
A. M. Davenport had a nice lot of ey-
clamehis. J. E. Rothwell, Emil Johann-
son, gardener, received a certificate of
merit for Lselia x Mrs. M. Gratrix (L.
cinnabarina x L. Digbyana), one of the
prettiest cinnabarina crosses, flowers of a
deep orange yellow color. The same ex-
hibitor received honorable mention for
Laelio-cattleya Adolphus (L. cinnabarina
X Cattleya Acklandise).

E. N. Peirce & Co. showed a fine vase
of their bright red seedling carnation,
Lawson x Crane, which received honor-
able mention and promises to be a useful
sort. Helen Goddard, from S. J. God-
dard, recently referred to in the Review,
received a certiflcate of merit. Red Law-
son grown by E. N. Peirce & Co. from
Palmer's stock also won a certificate of
merit, as did Winsor, shown by F. R.
Pierson Co. and grown by Peter Murray.
This latter is of a beautiful silvery pink
color, just th3 color ladies like
and is bound to become popular. We
understand it will not be introduced
until 1907.

Victory, from Guttman & Weber,
scored the highest award of any new car-
nation in the exhibition, securing a sil-
ver medal. Nothing but favorable com-
ments were heard in regard to it. Pat-
ten & Co. secured honorable mention for
Mikado (Roosevelt x Prosperity). F. F.
White and L. E. Small each showed their
seedling whites, which had their quota
of admirers. ,

Afterglow and Aristocrat from Rich-
ard Witterstaetter were delayed in trans-
it from Cincinnati and some few blooms
were frozen. They arrived ere the show

•closed and were the center of attraction.
They seemed to stand up better than
anything in the hall. Each secured a
iSrst-class certificate. While each vari-
ety had its admirers, Aristocrat seemed
to be the favorite and should score
higher when shown again. Patten & Co.
showed Judge Hinsdale and Pink Pat-
ten in good shape. J. H. White had
(not for competition) excellent vases of
Enchantress and Mrs. Patten. John Mc-
Farland showed excellent lily of the
valley. Dr. C. G. Weld, W. C. Rust gar-
dener, reeeivetl a cultural certificate for
a beautiful plant of Dendrobium Ains-
worthi, carrying 300 flowers.

Moore, of Wadington, will give a stere-
opticon lecture on "Bacteria as Fertil-
izers. ' '

H. A. Cook, of Shrewsbury, who ships
the bulk of his flowers to Welch Bros.,
has a magnificent Jot of the dark blue Im-
perial violet which for length of stem
and size of flower probably cannot be
equalled in this section.
. William Nicholson will grow Witter-
•taetter's new Aristocrat carnation next
season in order to give eastern growers
opportunities to see this variety grow-
ing. It will also enable him to show it
in fine condition for the meeting of the
Carnation i=>ociety in Boston in 1906.

Pans of bulbous stock are selling very
well at the stores at present, daffodils
being especial favorites. Azaleas and
lilacs are also good sellers.

While many growers are condemning
Flamingo and propose discarding it,
some intend to grow it again, having
found it profitable. John Barr and S.
J. Goddard are among the latter. The
first named grower has had great suc-
cess with Manley, of which he is bring-
ing in remarkably fine flowers.

Visitors the past week included A. J.
Guttman, New York, F. R. Pierson and
James T. Scott, Tarrvtown, N. Y.

The Market

We are still in the grasp of king win-
ter, which has made transient trade very
light. The regular volume of business
has had quite an impetus since the first
of February. Several social functions
have made a large demand for select
stock, which is decidedly scarce and has
brought the best prices since Christmas.
Good tea roses bring from 6 to 12 cents,
Meteor from 4 to 10 cents, Beauties
from $1.50 to $6 per dozen. Bulbous
stock is becoming more plentiful and
th.nt vith long stems brings 4 cents.

Romans, Paper Whites, valley and sweet
peas are in limited Sfl^ply and good
stcck finds ready sale. Camations are
still in good supply and ravage from 2
to 5 cents. At this writing we have the
coldest day and night of £he winter. It
was zero all day with a drop to 14 de-
grees below at 2 a. m. February 14 a
strong west wind prevailed, mflfcing it
almost impossible to keep the houses

warm.

Qub Exhibitioti.

At the regular meeting of the rfub
a carnation exhibition was held to ben-
efit those who could not attend the last
convention at Chicago. An unusually
large number attended and we can con-
fidently say the exhibition was a mag-
nificent success. Some of the local
growers did well, considering they grow
only for commercial purposes, and not
for show. The following is a summary
of exhibits and awards:

Enchantress, first, Bate Bros.; sec-
ond, C. Hagenburger; third, Essex
Greenhouses. Lawson, first, Essex Green-
houses; second, Essex Greenhouses.
Red, G. M. Naumann, first, with Flam-
ingo, Merkel & Son, second, with Flam-
ingo; Bate Bros., third, with Crane.
White, first, C. Hagenburger, with
Lady Bountiful; second, Merkel & Son,
White Lawson; third, C. Hagenburger,
with White Lawson. A mixed vase of
Patten, Nelson Fisher and D. Whitney
by Merkel & Son received honorable
mention. Bate Bros, displayed mixed
varieties. G. M. Naumann displayed a
vase of seedlings which was worthy of
mention. C. Hagenburger displayed a
vase of fine Princess of Wales violets.
Robert Kegg showed some very fine
Adonis, Lawson, Wolcott and Dorothy
Whitney. H. A. Hart showed Enchant-
ress, including a sport of same about
Joost color, also Lawson and Joost, ex-
cellent for this variety.

M. Bloy, of the Essex Greenhouses,
made a very good display of roses, car-
nations and sweet peas. He was
awarded a certificate of merit for an
elegant vase of Bridesmaid roses, also
for white and pink sweet peas which
had stems twelve to fourteen inches
long. Meteor showed up well and proved
this variety still a good one. The stems
were fine, from eighteen inches to three
feet. White Cloud carnations made a
good showing with three-foot stems.

The J. M. Gasser Co. showed a mixed
vase of roses, Gen. MacArthur, La I>e-
troit, Chatenay, Bride and Maid. Mac-
Arthur was considered exceptionally well
done and was highly thought of by those
present. The J. D. Thompson Carna-
tion Co., of Joliet, showed a magnificent
vase of Robert Craig. It is a grand
flower, with a perfect stem, and re-
ceived a certificate of merit. The J.
M. Gasser Co. received a certificate of
merit for a vase of mixed roses. W. J.
Palmer & Son, Buffalo, made an elegant
show with a large vase of Red Lawson.
It won equal honors with Robert Craig,
receiving a certificate of merit. The B.
K. & B. Floral Co., of Richmond, Ind.,
displaycil a vase of Richmond Gem, also
some rooted cuttings. Although the flow-
er is small it is of good color.

A special committee on awards was
appointed by President A. L. Brown,
consisting of J. S. Wilson, of Chicago,
Adam Graham, of Cleveland, and Ed-
ward George, of Painesville. They did
their arduous duties well and were ten-
dered a iTnanimous vote of thanks bv

ttiOSe present. All were well pleased
'With their decisions and there was no
eanse for complaint. *,

' '"'Variottt Notes.

We"'9ee by the press reports that a
magnificent building is to be erected at
the present location of Smith & Fet-
ters. Building operations will begin
April 1. It is to be occupied by a
large department store.

The city budget for the coming fiscal
year contains a large sum for .park
im'provements. This is to be Mghly
«afiimended, as Cleveland has a beauti-
ful chain of parkH. More flowers are
tt»'%«(s|ilanted and a large quantity of
trees and shrttbs are to be set out the
coming spring.

Dutch bulb agents are becoming
quite numerous. It is a sure sign of the
coming spring.

Mr. Anderson, who for many years
was with the J. M. Gasser Co. at Rocky
River and the recent foreman of said
firm, has resolved to engage in busi-
ness for himself, growing mums and
carnations. Mr. Anderson has the best
wishes of all the craft for unbounded
success in his undertaking.

Carl Hagenburger, of West Mentor,
has his place looking fine. Stoek is
in good shape, particularly the carna-
tions. Lady^ Bountiful is in the lead,
a robust grower and a fine flower. Law-
son, Enchantress and Boston Market
give evidence of having produced a
heavy crop. Thousands of cuttings
well rooted, show success in this line.
Boston ferns are in great abundance.
A large batch of lilies jii«t coming into
flower* is particularly free from dis-
ease. Another lot in bottomless pots
plunged in soil looks good and healthy.
As a whole the place looks better than
ever before.

A short jaunt brings us to C. Merkel
& Son's. Here we found everything
looking well. Carnations were a trifle
off crop, but thrifty and in vigorous
health. What struck the writer most
was Flamingo in all its glory, perfect-
ly healthy and an abundance of bu<l
and bloom. White Lawson is also a
good thing. Mrs. Patten is extra fine,
producing high grade blooms. Boston
Market is considered the bread and
butter variety. A clean and healthy
lot of Harrisii are just coming into
flower, with a later batch for Easter.
Lilacs are forced to perfection here
and bring good returns. Ramblers and
H. P. roses had just been brought into
the cool house. Mr. Merkel has one
brand of good things that does not
grow on rose bushes, which was thor-
oughly appreciated by the visitors.

W. L. Smith, formerly of Jamestown,
is now with the J. M. Gasser Co. in
the capacity of foreman.

Visitors: — D. R. White, Sandusky; J.
S. Wilson. Chicago; Wm. Meine, Rich-

The Market.

In spite of very bad weather St. Val-
entine's day had an appreciable effect on
the market, the impetus being first noted
on Sunday, when an unusually large num-
ber of shipping orders went out. Mon-
day was the coldest day of th4 year, the
temperature in the morning being 18 de-
grees below zero, and one would expect
little doing, but there was a considerable
shipping demand and many of the local
retailers bought quite heavily in anticipa-
tion of the valentine demand. It has
been a season, however, when the store
with a telephone trade did about all the
business there was going. Transient
trade has been dead. The weather has
been too cold for people to be on the
streets. Monday was 38 degrees colder
than the ten years' average for Feb-
ruary 13, and Tuesday was not much bet-
ter. The growers have been busy stok-
ing the boilers and it has taken much
extra wrapping to preserve stock in tran-
sit from freezing. In fact, many shin-
ments were frozen, some from near-by
pTowers, but particularly violets from the
Hudson river district. On Monday manv
thousands were a total los.s.

The state of the market has not
changed to any great degree since last
report. There is stDl a call for Brides
and Maids beyond the possibilities of the
supply, and this also includes red roses,
if to a less degree. Long Beauties are
now under the demand, for the call has
increased and receipts al^e less. The dark
weather has also had its effect on the
color. White carnations have been in
very heavy demand and it has been im-
r>os.sible to fill all orders. Red has nh^^
been wanted, but th^re has been enough
pink to leave something in the whole-
salers' ice boxes nearly every night. >*
the same time T>rices are reasonablv well
maintained. Quality was never better.
St. Valentine's day made some demanrl
for violets. Tulips are now in erood
shape, but do not bring anv better prices
than when auality was lower. Roni"
freesia is seen, but is slow sale. Callas

are plentiful, but Harrisii are making
good prices, although some days everyone
has them to spare. Green goods are
equal to the demand.

For State Experiment Work.

Peter Reinberg, for the Florists'
Club's committee on the matter of secur-
ing an appropriation for floricultural
work at the State Experiment Station,
has placed the club's resolutions and a
draft of an appropriation bill in the
hands of Representative M. L. McKinley
for presentation to the state legislature.
The bill calls for the appropriation of
$10,000 for greenhouses and equipment
and for $10,000 a year for carrying on
the work. Every florist should write the
representative from his district urging
that the bill be supported.

Winandy's Seedlings.

M. Winandy took to raising carnation
seedlings a couple of years ago and has
two benches of them. What he thinks
is the best is a very large, bright red,
which he has just registered as Lizzie
McKey. There is a pink seedling from
Guardian Angel which looks good; it is
prolific, has good size, stem, etc. There
is a white of robust growth which has
not yet shown what it can do, and a good
looking yellow. An odditv is a flower
like Prosperity with a beautiful golden
tint at the base of the petal and diffused
outward. With this some mighty fine
dinner-table center-pieces could be made.

Various Notes.

Mardi Gras at New Orleans should
make some good business at that point
March 6 and 7. Then comes Lent, but it
doesn't cut as much figure now as it
used to.

The body of George V. Thielmann was
brought home from Sierra Madre, Gal.,
and buried from the home. 323 Division
street, on Tuesday, a number of the trade
attending.

C. W. McKellar has added orange blos-
soms to his list of specialties, but he
doesn 't carry them in stock. He had n
nice lot in for an order on Tuesday.

The Florists' Club had an attendance
of fifteen at the meeting February 9.
E. Kurowski, N. J. Bupp, Paul Halbrook
and F. Lautenschlager were elected
to membership. A not wholly successful
effort was made to straighten out certain
neglected premium matters and a new
program committee was appointed, with
E. C. AmUng chairman.

The conunittee on entertainment of the
Carnation Society reports receipts of
$1,101 and the disbursement of the entire
amount. As a matter of fact, there was
a shortage of $30, which was made up by
subscriptions obtained after the deficiency
was known.

Mrs. Ed. Benthey, whose wedding day
is only three weeks passed, has been
taken ill and is in the hospital. She was
Miss Jennie Daniels. Mr. Benthey is the
son of F. F. Benthey.

The West Park board contemplates the
erection of new greenhouses at Garfield
and Humboldt parks.

H. Van Zonneveld, of Sassenheim, Hol-
land, is in town again, and says he finds
bulb sales easier than for some years.

Sinner Bros, are getting in a big cut
of callas and tulips.

Bassett & Washburn say that they are
growing more plants of Bride than of
Liberty, but that for the past month they
have cut more Liberty than Bride.

Kennicott Bros. Co. is getting in its
usual season 's crop of La Reine tulips, of
extra -quality just now.

E'. F. Winterson is one of those who
are well satisfied with the season's busi-
ness.

Mrs. Leonard Kill is reported as im-
proving nicely. The necessity for a sur-
gical operation had been feared.

George Wienhoeb-^r is on a voyage to
the Mediterranean, expected to wholly re-
store his health.

August Rhotert, of New York, has been
here selling vallev and palms.

B. Eschner, of M. Rice & Co.. Phila-
delphia, is in town.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

A few important tluctuations were
noted in the cut flower market the past
week, which were unlocked for. The
«arly part of the week stock became
wery scarce in all first-class grades. Later
in the week stock of all kinds was again
overplentiful and prices were again re-
duced.

The retail trade runs in. about the same
'Channel, some days plenty of work, the
next day dull. The bulk of the work is
rfor funerals. No doubt these conditions
"will prevail as long as this disagreeable
weather lasts. Some extra work was
looked for St. Valentine's day, which
was quite a busy day last year. It brings
a good call for violets, which are very
plentiful, $2 to $2.50 per thousand being
^bout the best price for singles. Fine
•doubles are down to 50 cents per hun-
dred. Carnations have been very plenti-
ful and only the extra fancy and white
Bold. A big lot of colored stock was
left over each day, only to be dumped.
Prosperity, Lawson and Enchantress are
of fine quality. Some extra White Cloud,
Triumph, Joost and Estelle are also to
be had at prices in reach of everybody.

White roses are not any too many for
the demand. Of Maids, Meteors, Lib-
•erties and short Beauties there are more
than enough. Long Beauties are also
•plentiful. The wholesalers are still over-
•stoeked with many kinds of bulbous
fltock of good quality. Of Dutch hya-
cinths. Harrisii and callas there are
enough to go around. White and pink
sweet peas sell fairly well. White lilac
at Kuehn 's is extra fine. Everything in
the line of greens is plentiful.

1^^ Florists* Qub Meeting.

The Florists' Club held one of the
largest meetings in its history Fohniary
0, nenrly seventy-five being in attendance.
Including James Hartshorne and J. D.
Thompson. Joliet, 111.; A. C Canfield,
Springfield, 111.; S. S. Skidelslcy, Phila-
delphia, and Geo. M. Kellogg, Pleasant
Hill, Mo.

There was a grand display of carna-
tions: The Chicago Carnation Co., Jo-
liet. was the largest exhibitor, showing
Harlowarden, Lady Bountiful, White
Lawson. Prosperity, Cardinal, Enchan-
tress and Mrs. T. W. Lawson. E. G. Hill
Co., Richmond. Ind., sent Mrs. Patten,
Lady Bountiful and Cardinal. Thos. Sal-

verson & Son, Petersburg, 111., staged
Mrs. Lawson, Norway and Prosperity.
The Thompson Carnation Co., Joliet,
showed a grand vase of Eobert Craig.
H. Weber & Son, of Oakland, Md., sent
an extra fine vase of My Maryland. John
E. Haines, Bethlehem, Pa., sent John E.
Haines and Guttman & Weber, New
York, sent Victory. W. J. Palmer & Son,
Lancaster, N. Y., sent a vase of fifty
lied Lawson, which did not arrive until
the next day.

Among the local growers who exhib-
ited were John Steidel, who had Adonis,
Enchantress, Gov. Wolcott and a fine
mixed vase. J. F. Ammann had White
Cloud, Enchantress and a vase of mixed.
A. Jablonsky showed Ehchantress, Crane,
Ijady Bountiful and a vase of mixed. N.
Himmer showed a vase of sports of En-
chantress and Joost.

The meeting opened at 2:30 p. m.
with all the officers present. After the
regular order of business, the building
committee asked to be relieved and rec-
ommended that F. C. Weber, C. A.
Kuehn and Otto Koenig take their place.
The new constitution and by-laws were
read for the first time. Two more read-
ings will be required before they can be
acted on. This will be at the April
meeting. The trustees reported that it
was not advisable for the club to hold
a chrj'santhemum show this fall. A press
committee was appointed as follows: J.
J. Beneke, Geo. Windier and E. Windt.
Four members were dropped for non-
payment of dues. F. J, Fillmore reported
at length on the carnation convention at
Chicago.

Short addresses were made by James
Hartshorne, J. D. Thompson, A. C. Can-
field and S. S. Skidelsky. The latter
complimented the St. Louis growers on
their showing.

Messrs. Thompson, Hartshorne and
Canfield acted as judges for the home-
grown exhibits and Messrs. Ammann,
Steidel and Jablonsky judged the out-
side exhibits. Their report was as fol-
lows: Fifty blooms pink, Chicago Carna-
tion Co., first and second with Lawson
and Enchantress; Salverson & Son, third,
on Lawson. Fifty blooms white, Chi-
cago Carnation Co., first and second
with Lady Bountiful and White Lawson;
E. G. Hill Co., third, with Lady Boun-
tiful. Fifty red, Chicago Carnation Co.,
first, with Cardinal; Thompson Carna-
tion Co., second, with Robert Craig; E.
G. Hill Co., third, with Cardinal. Fifty
any other color, Chicago Carnation Co.,

first and second, with Prosperity and
Harlowarden; E. G. Hill Co., third, with
Mrs. Patten. H. Weber & Sons, Oakland,
Md., scored eighty-eight points on My
Maryland and received a certificate of
merit. John E. Haines and Victory were
too far gone to be judged but are appar-
ently good reds.

For the local growers the results were
as follows: Fifty white, John Steidel
first, with Gov. Wolcott; A. Jablonsky
second, with Lady Bountiful; J. F. Am-
mann third, with White Cloud. Fifty
pink, J. Steidel first, J. F. Ammann sec-
ond and A. Jablonsky third, all with
Enchantress. Fifty red, J. Steidel first,
with Adonis; A. Jablonsky second, with
Crane and Flamingo. Fifty blooms
mixed, J. Steidel first, A. Jablonsky sec-
ond and J. F. Ammann third. Favorable
mention was given Mr. Steidel for a pink
sport of Enchantress and a vase of seed-
lings.

The next meeting of the club will be
a rose meeting. This will be March 9
at 2 o'clock. Prizes amounting to $50
will be offered and all rose growers are
invited to exhibit. The committee of ar-
rangements is Otto Koenig, F. H. Mein-
hardt and J. J. Beneke, who wiU meet
this week to arrange for the list of
prizes, which will be sent to all rose
growers.

There is some talk among the mem-
bers of the St. Louis Florists' Club of
having a big celebration on the club's
eighteenth anniversary, June 28. A big
banquet is talked of at the Hotel Jeffer-
son.

The New Growers' Qub.

A meeting was called for February 9
for plant and cut flower growers of St.
Louis and vicinity to perfect an asso-
ciation to be called the St. Louis Flower
and Plant Growers' Association. Dr.
A. S. Halstead was elected president,
E. H. Michel secretary, and Gus Eggeling
treasurer. The membership to this asso-
ciation is extended to growers within
500 miles of St. Louis. Their charter
calls for seventy-five members. This as-
sociation is in no way connected with the
St. Louis Florists ' Club. J. J. B.

The advertisement of the Iowa Seed
Co. last week quoted Louise Erdody be-
gonias at $3 per 100. This was clearly
an error, as this is well grown 3-inch
.stock, many having two plants to the pot.
It should have been $6 per 100 and bo
appears this week.

THE FINEST WHITE CARNATION EVER SENT OUT

Remember that we are headquarters for it.ll^Tiie demand will undoubtedly exceed the
supply this season^ and in order to secure early delivery, no time should be lost in placing; order. We are
now booking: orders for early January delivery. Orders will be filled strictly in rotation, as received, so the
earlier orders are booked, the earlier deliveries can be made* We can supply

First-class strong rooted cuttings, $7.00 per 100; $60.00 per 1000.

Also all the other novelties of the season, FIANCEE, CARDINAL, FRED BURKl, etc.
Also the cream of the older sorts, Mrs. M. A. Patten, Daheim, Enchantress, Flamingo,
Mrs. Thos. W. Lawson, etc.

F. R. PIERSON CO., Tarrytown-oa-Hodson, N. Y.

BUFFALO.

There has been rather too much steady
•winter of late to expect a very lively
business, yet we cannot complain. We
don 't look for large decorations, for they
are few at this season, and many of ua
look upon the white flower trade as only
incidental. It is the steady demand for
flowers for the table, or remembrances to
friends on many excuses. In fact, it is
the ever increasing use of flowers by
those of moderate means, as well as the
very wealthy, that makes the business
healthy and substantial. Flowers of all
kinds are fairly plentiful, except roses;
those of first quality are quite scarce.

The Florists ' Club is to hold a meeting
on the afternoon of February 22, to
nominate officers for the next year, and
there will be an exhibition of the newer
carnations from our friends if they re-
spond to the invitation we have sent
them. Now this is an opportunity that
the local men should appreciate. They
did not go to Chicago to see the won-
derful varieties, so we are going to let
them "have a look" for the small sum
of one dime (two car fares). We want
you all in, prepared to pay up your dues
for the year and nominate good, strong
young blood for the next year's adminis-
tration.

Am glad to say that Capt. James Braik
will soon be out again after three
months' martyrdom with inflammatory
rheumatism. He has suffered much, but
will be in good shape again when our
parks need his valuable aid.

William Belsey has no more room for
greenhouses on his lot, so to find a safe
investment for his surplus earnings he
has built a fine apartment house on the
cast side. It is not always the largest
business tha^ shows the greatest profit.

The Red Lawson.

Through a boisterous blizzard and
eleven miles of snow banks, a trolley car
landed us at the large establishment of
W. J. Palmer & Son, at Lancaster. These
country villages are lovely when the
cherry trees are in blossom and the frog
band is working in the marsh, but they
have a chilly, lonesome influence in Feb-
ruary. However, once you enter the first

carnation house and almost inunediately
are greeted by the perennial smile of
Barney Myers, winter is dispelled and
you can walk through the 200,000 feet
of glass without once stepping outdoors.
We went there principally, of course, to
see the Bed Lawson carnation and two
houses, each 20x100, are a grand sight,
yet Barney, as everybody calls the more
than able ma::ager, told us they were off
crop compared to December. Christmas
week he picked 8,500 perfect flowers out
of those two houses. As. this carnation is
Lawson in every particular except color,
very little can be said, but one thing is
very striking. While we all know that
Lawson is showing a tendency to split
more than formerly, this red sport
showed not one bloom in fifty that was
not perfect. In our opinion it is a car-
nation that should be grown by all. All
of us can grow Lawson and all can grow
this. Many of you have seen the blooms.
It is a bright, cheerful red and shows uri
finely under artificial light. As a bread
acd butter red carnation we don't think
it has any competitor, however fine in
form, color or stem the latest aspiiMmts
for favor may be.

Most all the standard and later intro-
ductions are grown there. Lady Bounti-
ful and White Lawson are favorites in
their color. Mrs. Patten was flowering
freely, but Barney said he had it in
rather too warm a house. We have never
seen Enchantress do better. It is a
sight. In December they picked 4,000
a week, now about 3,000. Never was
there a more perfect lot of flowers. Old
varieties have to go. White Cloud, Gla-
cier, Joost and Mrs. Nelson are seeing,
their last days, and yet Nelson is a
beautiful shade and until Fiancee be-
comes generally grown we are short of a
good pink. Altogether ydu can see 30,-
000 carnation plants as well grown in
every respect as you will ever expect to.

Carnations are by no means all that's
to be seen here. Everything that two
first-class city stores demand is handled.
Koses of the leading varieties are grown
in quantity. A big house of Bridesmaid
was a little extra, and what pleased me
immensely was a house of Morean and
Canadian Queen, both simply loaded with
magnificent blooms, and at least three-

flowers to one of any Bridesmaid that
was ever grown. I wish we had had
along with us some gentlemen who say
Canadian Queen can't be grown outside
of the Dale Estate. Morgan had good
long stems, and the best blooms are re-
tailing at $3 per dozen. It would pay
at $1. Great preparations are made here
for Easter, blocks of azaleas kept cool,
thousands of lilies, hybrid roses in pots
and all other Easter stock. "Very large
quantities of tulips and other bulbous
stock are handled. This is a good estab-
lishment to visit to study greenhouse
architecture, for there is almost every
modern style and also many styles of
bench, for these are the days of evolu-
tion in the bench.

I failed to mention what is only due,
that there are two more houses of Bed
Lawson mostly for propagation, but you
all know how freely Lawson propagates
and there is no excuse for a poor cutting.

The ninth annual ball of the Mon-
mouth County Horticultural Society was
held I'ebruary 10. It was one of the
most successful the society ever had.
Over a hundred couples were in the
grand march. The hall was beautifully
decorated. The stage was very taste-
fully decorated with cut flowers and dec-
orative plants, by Wm. Turner. Corsage
bouquets of white roses and lilies of the
valley were furnished by the society, for
the ladies, and carnation boutonnieres for
the gentlemen. An elaborate dinner was
served at twelve o'clock. The entertain-
ment committee deserves great credit, as
the success of the ball depended mostlv
on them.

There was a short business meeting be-
fore the ball and William Ritchie and
Frank Jenkins were elected active mem-
bers.

Belleville. Ont.— Ernest Maag, re-
cently foreman of the greenhouse de-
partment of .the Phoenix Nursery Co.,
Bloomington, 111., will start in business
here as a grower of hardy perennials
for the trade.

TULIPS ROTTING.

We would like to ask you about some
Le Eeine tulip bulbs. We planted them
the same as the rest. The La Eeine all
decayed in the center and some of the
bulbs were rotted altogether. We had
yellow and red ones with them and they
were aU right. The iulbs were sound
when planted. We put horse manure on
them about four to six inches thick and
they were planted in time. The florists
around this city say it is in the bulbs.

B. O. S.

We take it for granted that you have
been forcing these yellow and red and
La Beine tulips and thus found out the
condition of the La Beine. If the other
tulips received the same treatment and
are forcing all right, it is difficult to
account for the decay among the La
Beine. In all the years we have been
forcing tulips we have never seen bulbs
decay. We have more than once seen
La Eeine come blind, but that was merely
poorly ripened or weak bulbs which never
should have been sold us.

If you put six inches of horse manure
on the flats or pans you did very un-
wisely. That quantity, if fresh, would
heat and may account for the decay. We
can account for it in no other way. Bulbs
put into flats or pans for forcing should
ije first covered with two or three inches
of light soil, then five or six inches of
stable litter to keep out severe frost is all
right, but fresh manure put right on the
bulbs is all wrong. You may have had
the manure thicker and warmer over the
La Beine than the others. W. S.

Amelia, O. — Charles Pommert reports
the demand for goldfish as exceeding his
already large facilities. He is building
seven additional ponds, covering six
acres, for next season.

Hageestown, Md. — Henry Bester will
build two large rose bouses the coming
summer. His carnations are now in the
pink of perfection. The demand is
greater than the supply. He has a varie-
gated seedling of Lawson and also a
tvhite seedling of Enchantress, inad-
vertly reported as sports in the issue of
February 2. Wm. Bester will make ex-
tensive improvements and additions to
his already large area of glass. His
stock of roses and carnations are in good
condition. The demand for good stuflf
is increasing at better prices than in
former vears.

The earnestness with which the sales-

In Henry Field 's corn tests at Shenan-

brought out was the diflference in be-
havior of seed corn from the east and

western corn accustomed for generations
to prairie winds, stood up well even in
a considerable storm, while the eastern
com of the same or similar varieties went
down easily.

The Chicago Tribune says that to de-
prive the statesmen in Washington of the
privilege of sending garden seeds to their
constituents would be to take away the
only opportunity some of them ever have
of being useful.

The quinquennial exhibition of the
Royal Dutch Bulb Growers' Society at
Haarlem, Holland, March 17 to 21, will
aflford a fine opportunity to those espe-
cially interested with recent progress in
this branch of the trade.

It is advisable at this season of the
year to remind buyers of onion sets that
freezing while in transit does not hurt
them. When onion sets arrive in a froz-
en condition all that is needed is to
open up the packages, let the sets thaw
gradually, and handle them as little as
possible until they dry out.

The general catalogue of Sears, Roe-
buck & Co., Chicago, weighs forty-six
ounces and L. E. Asher, the advertising
manager, says that "when space costs
us $1,000 per page for a season it be-
hooves us strongly to use that page
every inch and line and hair's breadth
to the illustrating and describing plain-
ly and clearly the merchandise we have
to sell and crowd on the page as much
as we can and do. it justice." With
space in the general book at that price
naturally.- they have many special cata-
logues, and seeds will be one of them.

CHICAGO ONION SET INDUSTRY.

A man from Missouri coming into
Chicago a few days ago observed from
the car window at several different points
along the railroad, buildings that were
stenciled "Onion set warehouse." The
fize of the buildings aroused his curiosity
and he asked his seat mate for informa-
tion on the subject of onion sets. He
was given a figure *that was estimated as
being the quantity of bushels raised in
the vicinity of Chicago and was invited
to inspect one of the warehotises, where a
good bunch of the goods could be shown
him. He could not accept the invita-
tion because his ticket was limited. He
seemed satisfied, however, that there must
be something in the warehouses and ad-
mitted that the chances favored its being
onion sets. He intimated that if a short
statement of the history of the industry
in so far as it applied to Chicago could
be given him he would be pleased to
make a note of it for future investiga-
lion. The person with whom he was con-

versing seemed to be in a position ta
give the desired information and pro-
teeued to do it as follows:

"The beginning of the Chicago onion
set industry dates back to 1886, when a
seedsman who had just completed his
second season in that line of trade-
planted a four-acre patch for onion sets
on Diversey street, near Milwaukee ave-
nue. The product of the four acres was
in the neighborhood of 1,600 bushels.

"For some years previous to this a
large pickle man at Bowmanville had
been growing what were termed 'pickle

onions,' and some of the market garden-
ers were doing the same thing on a
smaller scale. These were all white
onipns, however, and were grown for
the pickling vats of factories in the
neighborhood; they were not onion sets,
nor were they grown as such.

"In 1885 Chicago needed but a limited
quantity of onion sets for home consump-
tion and, aside from a few barrels of
velJows shipped in from eastern points
and stored in a seed house on La Salle
rtreet, and a hundred or so bushels of
whites spread out on a floor over John-
son's 'Silver Brand' sauerkraut em-
porium on- South "Water street, all the
visible supply of onion sets as far as
('hicp.go was concerned could be put into
a quart measure.

' ' The venture of the seedsman who
harvfsted the 1,600 bushels in 1886, and
to whom the credit of starting the onion
set business at Chicago belongs, panned
out first rate — so well in fact, that the
next year he increased his plantings and
encouraged the gardeners to grow small
patches, taking their product from them
after harvest at an agreed price. The
soil and climate proved favorable and
the price realized for the product at that
time made the business a paying one.
Jn 1888 mutual interests drew the Bow-
manville pickle man and the Chicago
seedsman together and an arrangement
Mas made between them, the one to grow
the sets because he had the land, and the
ether to sell the sets because he had a
.store which was known to be Chicago
headquarters for supplying the onion set.
' Tn union there is strength, ' and for the
next few years there was a continued in-
crease in the production of onion sets at
Chicago, 50,000 bushels being the esti-
mated crop of 1892.

"Up to 1894 the seedsman to whom
the credit of starting the thing has been
given, was practically the sole distributor
ana owner of the onion set product of
Chicago. It chanced that 1893 was a
banner year. The prices realized for
onion sets in the fall of that year and
into the spring of 1894 were such as to
make the growers feel that with olentv of
land all that was needed to bring them
wealth was plenty of onion seed to throw
into it, and in the fall dig out the sets.
TI-, "orRenuenee was that a new era was
established, a scattering took place, new
outlets had to be searched for and the
new operators who took hold, finding
themselves in it, had to push the thing
«long out of sheer necessity. The pickle
man and the seedsman, who up to thi.s
time had been the main factors in the
production of onion sets at Chicago,
disagreed on a question of policy. The
foTiuer wanted to double the qua r tit v
thj.t they had heretofore produced <^"
push the newcomers out of it, but the
latter, being more conversant with the
obstacles in the wav of forcine a market,
objected to this. The outcome was that
the pickle man decided to go in as a dis-
tributor as well as a grower, and the
seedsman, being originally both grower
and distributor, resumed the growing
for himself on a scale proportionate to
the increased needs of his business. The
Chicago onion set production for the
next two years was more than double
what it was in 1893 amd 1894.

"Sinee 1896 and up to the present, the
ranks of those erowing and distributing
onion sets at Chicago has been much in-

Qx>pcr, Taber & G>.

Of the existing Loudon seed houses^
the oldest is that of Cooper, Taber is
Co. It was founded by John Mason,
who, about 1781, established himself in
business at the "Sign of the Orange
Tree," 152 Fleet streei ; and in the
catalogue issued by tlie present house ii*
1900-1 they gave photographs and page»
of the catalogue of .lohii Ma.<w>n for
1793. Eventually .John Mason took his
son into partnership, and up to 1827 the
firm was known as .John Mason & Son.
In the latter year, Mr. Noble, a nephew
of Mason, and a Mr. Goude, took over
the business, and the same existed for
three years as Mason & Goude. In 183ft
the brothert* W. & J. Nobb becaine sole
proprietors, and continued the business
till they died of cholera in 1848. la

Febhuahy 16, lOOSk;-

John Bolton, both of whom had had
long experience in the establishment, and
the firm was known as Noble, Cooper &
Bolton until 1867, when John Bolton re-
tired and' Robert Cooper became sole
proprietor and carried on the business
under' his own name until the expiration
of the lease of 152 Fleet street, when
he removed to the commodious premises
now occupied by Cooper, Taber & Co.
After the death of Mr. Cooper, in, 1885.
George. Taber, a well-known Essex seed
grower, acquired an interest in the firm.
Mr. Taber died in 1895, and was suc-
ceeded by his son, James Taber. The
business has for several years past been
registered as a limited liability com-
pany. This house has within the last
forty years or so absorbed such old busi-
nesses as Beck, Henderson and Child and
Waite & Co. (who had previously taken
over the business of Minier, Nash and
Nash). Within the last four or five
years, an old seed firm in the Strand
known as Batt, Ruttley & Silverlock,
became incoporated with Cooper, Taber
& Co., says Richard Dean in the Horti-
cultural Trade Journal.

SEED SPECIALS.

The Vanderbilt lines of railroad pass-
ing through the coru belt doubtless will
send put. soon a "corn special" to dis-
seminate scientific knowledge among
farmers along its lines regarding seeds
and soils. The remarkable success of the
"corn specials" which the Burlington
and Northwestern have been sending over
their lines is what has led the officials of
the Vanderbilt roads tP. take up the
project. The ' ' corn specials ' ' consist of
two or three cars expressly adapted for
holding meetings during stops of a half
hour at important towns on the line. Dur-
ing these stops lectures are given and
farmei"3 are instructed as to the best
kind of seed, the preparation of the soil,
hnd the pi-opef care of the crdp.

The start probably will be made on the
"Big Four," and if the plan is well
received by farmers along the route
"corn specials" will then be sent all
over Iowa, Illinois and Indiana, and pos-
sibly over the Illinois lines of the Lake
Erie and Western. This will be the first
time that eastern lines have taken up the
education of farmers along scientific
principles in crop raising.' , . > .

The Nassau County Horticultural So-
ciety meets the first Wednesday in the
month at 2:30 p. m. At the meeting
Pebruary 1 President Thomas Harrison
prophesied a bright future for the or-
ganization. He said that he, for one,
would ' ' like to see tjae day when it wilj
be necessary for a gardener to exhibit his
diploma for prdflciency in the different
branches of the work from some horti-
cultural college to be recognized as a
professional horticulturist. This would
not be an injustice to the already well
informed practical gardener, but ^*ould
inconvenience a great, many would-be
gardeners, whose only qualifications are
that they have washed pots in a palm
house, picked up the dead leaves in a
rose house and admired the different
colors of the flowers in the carnation
houee, then have the audacity to pose as
professional gardeners, and aspire to fill
some of our most prominent places in
the country. These are the men who are
' thorns in the flesh, ' so to speafc, and are
a detriment to our most noble profes-
sion. ' '

At the meeting March 1 there will be
exhibits of six red and six white carna-
tions, the owner of the best vase to re-
ceive a box of cigars.

HARDY FERNS.

I wish to plant some hardy ferns this
spring in the flower garden. Will you
please let nie know what are the best
kinds for both shady and sunny places?

E. F. C.

While all ferns thrive better where af-
forded shade, a few sorts do quite satis-
factorily in the sun if kept moist at the
root. As a general rule ferns are shade
and moisture loving subjects. They pre-
fer well drained ground and like plenty
of rotted leaves or leaf-mold in the soil.
The following sorts succeed well in New
England in sunshine: Onoclea sensibilis,
Osmunda cinnamomea, O. Claytoniana, O.
regalis, Pteris aquilina, Dicksonia pilosi-
uscula and Aspidium Noveboracensis. All
the foregoing succeed well in shade. In
addition the following sorts may be
planted: Polypodium vulgare, Adiantum
pedatum, Asplenum Filix-foemina, Ono-
clea Strut hiopteri.s, Pelte atropurpurea,
Aspidium marginale, Cystopteris fragilis
and Phegopteris Dryopteris.

Some of the above will thrive under
different conditions than they revel in,
in a state of nature. To assist holding
moisture in the soil where they are
planted, mulch well with partially de-
cayed leaves or sphagnum moss. Water
well during dry spells. The stronger
growing sorts will benefit from a surfac-
ing of rotten manure. As a rule leaf-
mold is preferable for most of the spe-
cies. They should be planted where
strong winds will not strike them and
mulched with leaves each fall to prevent
frost heaving them out of the ground.

W. N. Craig.

GERANIUMS.

I want geraniums for Decoration day
and have just received a shipment of very
small geranium cuttings, some of the
cuttings being not more than three-
fourths of an inch long. Will it be pos-
sible to get most of these in bloom by
May 30 in Si^-inch potsf What tem-
perature shall I give them? They ^r''
now in 60 degrees at night. E. J. H.

You are starting with very small plants
to expect good flowering stock at Decor-

ation day. Give them the lightest bench
you have, one that has hot water pipes
beneath it preferred. We keep our
geraniums now about 45 degrees at night
because we want them stout and strong.
You want rapid growth, yet 60 degrees is
too high ; 50 degrees at night is enough
and let the house go up to 70 degrees in
the daytime. When large enough nip out
the last made joint and shift into the

3%-inch pots and with light, warmth
aiid fresh air on all opportunities you
may get decent plants. This experience
will teach you that you must put in your
own cuttings in September or October.

ThcWcckly Florists' Review.

February 16, 1905.

PITTSBURG.

The Market

The past week has been a most satis-
factory one to both wholesalers and re-
tailers. The demand has been good
and prices very fair, but, while we have
been able to get all the good stock
wanted, the quantity of inferior stock
coming to the wholesalers is noticeable
and most of it finds its way to the dump.
Beauties and lilies are still scarce.

Various Notes.

F. Stafford, manager of Geddis &
Blind's south side store, has the sympa-
thy of his many friends in the loss of his
father the past week, while he is confined
to bed with a serious attack of grip,
which for several days his friends feared
would prove fatal. However, he is now
in a fair way to recover.

Dame Eumor says that Ldncoln I.
Neflf has purchased of B. L. Elliott his
Cheswick place, consisting of seven acres
of ground, dwelling house, barn and
about 35,000 feet of glass. ,

J. J, Zimmermann, of Mt. Washing-
ton, has accepted a position with the
O^ean Park Floral Co., Ocean Park, Cal.

Club Meeting.

The club met Tuesday evening and,
after the election of officers, T. P, Lang-
bans, the new president, in a few well
chosen remarks thanked the members for
the honor conferred and asked their sup-
port and, turning to the retiring officer,
Mr. Falconer, attempted to convey to him
the feeling of regret with which he was
permitted to retire, and then, as a small
token of the club's appreciation of what
he had done, presented him with a hand-
some sterling silver tea service suitably
inscribed. Brothy Falconer for once
was taken by surprise and by his man-
ner as much as his word showed his ap-
preciation, E. C, Beineman in a little
after-talk remarked that while some of
us had seen Mr. Falconer's handiwork
at Dosoris, we could follow him to Schen-
ley park, which his skill has made the
pride of our city, and then we turned
over to him a club in name only, but in
four years of interesting meetings and
good shows, for many of which he had to
draw on his outside friends, he is now
able to turn back to us one of the best
clubs in the country, 153 members, most
of them active workers, and all in good
standing.

Carnations were the subject for the
evening's discussion. Among the whites
shown was My Maryland, by Weber &
Son, Oakland, Md. It is certainly a
grand flower and was well liked. If it
proves as satisfactory a grower and
bloomer it will satisfy anyone. While
some thought our trade, like the stock
market, is troubled with too much Law-
son, they were willing to accept F. R.
Pierson's White Lawson as one of the
good things, well worth taking the place
of some we are growing now, John
Murchie, of Sharon, would not have been
aghamed of his white. Fred Burki, as
shown by the Pittsbursr Hose & Carnation
Co, It stood up well and they say it
makes no weak stems. We like it ver-f
much. Guttman & Weber's Victory was
well received, both for color, size and
reported keeping qualities. .T. E. TTaines,
a good red variety and a favorite, was

PACIFIC COAST.

A CALIFORNIA GARDEN.

The accompanying reproduction from
a photograpli gives a January view in
the garden of a California residence. The
tree in front of the corner of the house
is INIagnolia grandiflora. To the right
are seen several rose bushes in bloom.
The little girl is standing in front of
a clump of Eulalia zebrina. In the up-
per left hand corner of the picture is
seen a part of a huge Acacia nollissima,
with a height and spread of thirty-five
feiet. It was covered with millions of
yellow blo(>soms at the time the photo
was taken, but unfortunately they do
not show in the picture. To the right of

EVERGREENS RECOMMENDED.

The California promotion committee
has sent out an open letter urging that
trees and plants whose leaves remain
green throughout the winter be planted
in California for ornamental and shade
purposes. Such trees are the best evi-
dence of California's climate and at-
tract and impress visitors from the
frozen east. Few eastern people realize
that the climate in California is not
determined by the distance north or
south but by the distance east and west.
What is known to the weather ])ureau
as the ' ' orange growing thermal belt ' '
extends from San Diego county on the
fiouth almost to the base of Mt. Shasta
on the north, a distance of about 700
miles. In this belt the mean annual
temperature is between 60 and 70 de-
grees. Trees and plants of semi-tropic
nature can and ou2ht to be grown with-
in this belt.

The committee also recommend the
planting of non-deciduous trees for or-
namental and shade purposes in prefer-
ence to deciduous trees. There is noth
ing which so pleases and impresses the
visitor from the east as to find every-
thing green in California and the leaves

covering the trees in the middle of
winter. Trees like elms and maples,
while higJily -ornamental, look particu-
^ larly dreary and out of place here
among so much verdure and often leave
a doubt in the visitor's mind as to
whether we do not have occasionally
heavy snows.

There is a vast area in California
where evergreen plants and trees can
be grown with success and regions pos-
sessing the requirements should make
the most of their advantages. What can
be more pleasing to our eastern visitors
than to come into a California town
and find the trees in midwinter bor-
dering the avenues all in green foliage
while the lawns of our residences show
groups of palms, bananas, giant ferns
and other semi-tropical shrubs? Such
a prospect is worth thousands of dol-
lars to any city, for the growing of
non-deciduous trees and plants such
as I have mentioned is the best adver-
tisement for its climate that we can
have.

The committee also recommends that
in localities where deciduous trees have
been planted largely for ornamental
purposes, it would be well to replace
them as soon as practicable with ever-
green trees. The committee also urges
all improvement clubs and development
organizations and planters generally in
such localities as I have mentioned to
take this matter up and give it all pos-
sible support and publicity.

It is of the greatest importance to
the trade generally that an effort be
made to supply the demand which will
soon be created owing to the change
of opinion with a majoritv of the tree
planting public which has occurred in
the last year or two. Such growers
as are makinfir a specialtv of the class
of stock I have mentioned are bound
to have good sale for well grown ever-
greens for many years to come. G.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market

Within the last few days we have
had a return of our usual California

weather and plenty of warm sunshine
promises a gOodly supply of flower?
in the near future. Daffodils, although
the popular flower at this season of
the year, are in almost unlimited sup-
ply and the price has fallen to $1 per
hundred. There is absolutely no sale
for the double varieties and the grow-
ers are not picking them. Narcissi are
getting scarcer and Paper Whites now
bring the same price as the daffodils.
Violets are received in enormous quan-
tities daily and are really the best
selling flower handled by the trade at
present. They cost the retailers about
$5 per hundred bunches. Koses are
scarcer than last week and carnations
somewhat easier, with a lower tendency
in price. In about two weeks, if the
present warm weather continues, there
will be a great slump in both the prices
of roses and carnations. Mums are en-
tirely gone. Valley is very plentiful
and Roman hvacinths are scarcer. Green
stuff of all kinds is very plentiful ex-
cent maidenhair fern, and except the
wild variety there are little really good
terns in market. Wild flowers have
commenced to make their appearance
and we will have quantities of them
for the next two months. Lilium longi-
florum is a good seller and the growers
easily dispose of them at $1.50 per
dozen stems. Huckleberrv and other
kinds of native growths are assuming a
much brighter color and texture since
the advent of warm weather.

Various Notes.

F. Ebel, of Sacramento, was in town
this week.

Several daffodil growers are going
to plow up their bulbs and plant other
stock this season. The low price of
the flowers is the cause.

Frank Pelicano reports a heavy
funeral trade during the month of Jan-
uary. Mr. Pelicano carries one of the
finest assortments of cut flowers in
San Francisco. G.

conditions soon righted and .January
went out like a whirlwind. At this writ-
ing everybody is busy and a feeling of
general satisfaction prevails. While dec-
crative work has been rather above the
average, funeral work constitutes the
largest item. The death rate has been
tinusuaily high, a condition character-
istic of Oregon when we experience a
dry spell in winter time. The Oregon-
ian, or " Webbfoot, " thrives best and
enjoys better health in wet weather.

The sujjply of cut flowers is ample
for all purposes and never was the
standanl of quality so good at tliis sea-
son (if the year. A few hours of sun-'
«hine each day for the ])ast three weeks
has juit vigor into the plants and the
greeniiouse men are jubilant. Prices are
holding up well, carnations having the
advantage. Thof'e famous old reliable*,
Estelle. Lawson, Scott and Flora Hill
sell readily at $1 per dozen, while En-
chantress and Prosperity refuse to be
•classed witli the common herd and com-
mand .•j!l.o() and $2 i»er dozen. Home
grown violets are in abundance and are
■especially fine. Princess on 12-inch stems
takes precedence over all others. Paper
White narcissi, Roman hyacinths and
other bulbous stuff is being brought into
bloom with the slight jirotection of sash
frames.

The advance guard of the eiustern trav-
eling men has come and gone. He came
in the person of Janu>s Karlns, repre-
senting H. A. Dreer, and was well
pleased with his first trip to the coast.

mON-CLAD TREES AND SHRUBS.

The cut and dried phrase, "hardy as
an oak, ' ' must be eliminated from mod-
ern sayings and "as hardy as a lilac"
substituted. Prof. Wm. Saunders, di-
rector of the Central Experimental
Farms, Ottawa, Canada, and his co-labor-
ers at Brandon and at Indian Head, in
the Canadian northwest, have been test-
ing for the past sixteen years the hard-
iness of all trees and shrubs of econ-
omic and ornamental A'aluc. In a re-
cent bulletin the results to date are
given, and it is with pleasure that we
find many friends of our more temper-
ate zone among the list that stood the
test, in it being the lilac in many varie-
ties and species, while the oak is lim-
ited to one species, Quercus macrocarpa,
the massy cud oak.

In Manitoba and the territories where
these tests were made, the snow covering
averages during the winter from one to
two feet in depth, which acts as a pro-
tecting blanket of much value. At Bran-
don, in ordinary winters, the thermom-
eter runs from 40 to 45 degrees below
zero, and often continues as low for sev-
eral weeks and at Indian Head from .50
to 52 degrees below is sometimes reached.
Any plant standing for successive years
the degrees of frost here given may
justly be called an iron-clad and be safe-
ly used by planters in the United States
in exposed situations.

It must be borne in mind, however,
that a foot or more of snow over the
roots is of untold value in protecting
them. The main loss in treea and
shrubs in the United States during the
cold winter of 1898-9 was at the roots,
not the tops. Strawy manure is a good
substitute for a blanket of snow, and
acts as an additional protection where
snow exists.

All varieties mentioned in this list
proved . reasonably hardy. A few were
damaged a little at the tops in some
winters, but not enough to effect them
to any extent. It may be taken for
granted that almost any tree, shrub, or
vine ordinarily in commercial nurseries,

possessing a reasonable degree of hardi-
ness, not found here, was tried and
proved tender. Some trees, including the
maples, were hardy if grown from seed
ripened in the Northwest Territories,
otherwise not. Those that stood the
test were:

The Weekly Florists' Review*

In 1899 Prof. Saunders issued a cat-
alogue of trees and shrubs tried in the
arboretum at Ottawa, Canada, indicating
their degree of hardiness, and it is a
singular fact that when I compare the
long list of those I have tried here, their
degree of hardiness coincides with the
results at Ottawa, with very few excep-
tions, probably due to individual vigor,
for in the Ottawa trials some individuals
of a species were hardy while others were
tender. This similarity of hardiness in
this region may be confined to a nar-
row zone bordering Lake Michigan.

MASSACHUSETTS GARDENERS.

Mrs. J. L. Gardner, Brookline.

At Mrs. John L. Gardner's, whose es-
tate in Brookline covers some thirty-
three acres, orchids are grown in con-
siderable numbers. Some extra fine
forms of Cattleya Trianse, of which 250
plants are grown, were noted. Dendro-
bium nobile was also in season. Some
good vandas and other rarely seen East
Indian species were represented by fine
plants. Phaius grandifolius is a favor-
ite for decorating, about 100 plants
being grown. These were just opening.
The stove house contained a fine selection
of well-grown stuff. Camellias are still
favorites here. Some planted-out speci-
mens were nearly twenty feet high. Bor-
onias, acacias and other hard-wooded
stock filled one house. At one end of a
propagating house a nice lot of phal-
senopsis were just coming into bloom.
Cinerarias, cyclamens, primulas, genistas,
eupatoriums and bulbous stock are
grown in quantity for house decoration.
William Thatcher is the gardener in
charge here.

J. E. Rothwell, Brookline.

A most interesting place to visit for
all who are interested in orchids is James
E. Rothwell 's on Sewall avenue. Long-
wood, where one of the best collections in
America is to be seen, quite a number of
small houses being filled to repletion with
well grown plants of the various genera.
Cypripediums are prime favorites and
there are some 500 distinct varieties and
forms of these alone. Many of the choice
yellow forms of Cypripedium insigne were
noted, including Sanderse, Sanderianum,
Joungianum, Ernestii, Laura Kimball,
Ballianum and others. Other fine types
included Harefield Hall, Coulsonianum,
platysepalum and Dominianum. Numer-
ous seedlings from good crosses were
noted. Two just flowering, C. Leeanum
X C. insigne Ernestii and C. Spicerianum
X C. insigne Sanderse were distinct and
good.

Many interesting cattleya and Iselia
crosses are being made, quite a collection
of Lselia cinnabarina crosses being in-
cluded. Several of these were in bloom.
Some baskets of the pretty Lselia Lind-
leyaua were flowering very freely. Odon-
toglossums are great favorites here and
are well grown. Some fine spikes were
open on O. crispum, O. Pollettianum, O.
Hebraicum, O. mulus and others. A nice
batch of masdevallias are grown in a cool
north house, M. Veitehiana grandiflora
being the finest in flower. In dendro-
biums several of the nobile sections, such
as Tollianum and Cooksoni, were in
flower, also D. splendidissima grandiflora.

A small division contained a finely
grown lot of phalaenopsis. Most of these

RED SPORT

(Of Maceo.)

Red Sport has proved the greatest money-maker we ever grew, producine more good blooms to
the square foot of bench room tbsn any other variety on the place. During the glut the first part of
January we could only get four cents for fancy Lawson and sold every Red Sport we had at five
cents. Every grower who was bete in December was carried away with its possibilities, as a future
supply of a "holly berry red" for Xmas. There is no pick in the blooms. They are all a uniform size
and color. There are 40,000 or 50,000 buds showing in different stages of development at this time
and there is not a split or off color bloom in the lot and every plant is the picture of health. We will
plant 20,000 plants of Red Sport for next season's bloom and the cutis already engaged by two of
Washington's leading retailers. Red Sport is an easy doer and everyone can grow it as successfully
as we can. Price for Feb. 20th delivery— 12 for 11.60; 25 for t2.50; 50 for $4.00 post paid; $6.00 per 100;
$50.00 per 1000. We guarantee stock to arrive in good condition and be well rooted.

were in flower and comprised P. grandi-
flora, amabilis, Schilleriana, Stuartiana
and Dayana, such spikes as would make a
star attraction in a high-class New York
florist's store. Very good results have
been obtained here from the use of native
leaf-mold, Emil Johannson, the skillful
grower in charge, pointing out seedling
cattleyas grown in it which were much
superior to those grown in fern fibre.
Everything on the place reflects great
credit on Mr. Eothwell and his excellent
gardener.

J. E. Thayer, South Lancaster.

At John E. Thayer's, in South Lan-
caster, are to be seen a lot of magnificent-
ly grown Lorraine begonias. J. E'. Clark,
the head gardener, is an adept in their
culture. They are the best we have seen.
Some beautifully flowered Erica melan-
thera were noted. These are found very
serviceable for house decoration, lasting
finely. In violets, Campbell is still pre-
ferred to the single ones. Enchantress
was the best carnation. Lawson was also
good. Flamingo will be dropped, as it is
too slow and shy. Boston Market is grown
for white. A fine lot of antirrhinums

were yielding fine spikes, the color of
Rosy Morn being, especially taking.
Schizanthus is being grown in quantity,
a compact form of S. pinnatus alba and
S. Wisetonensis being used. Some well
flowered large pans of Coelogyne cristata
of the Chatsworth variety were just at
their best. Euellia macrantha Mr. Clark
thinks highly of and says it is a per-
sistent bloomer. A bench of Kronk's
cauliflower had been furnishing fine heads
for some time and Stirling Castle tomato
was carrying a fine crop.

Nathaniel Thayer, South Lancaster.

At Nathaniel Thayer's the large house
of Beauty roses was off crop when we
called. Quite a number of gardenias are
grown. Like other growers, A. P. Mere-
dith is troubled to some extent with the
"yellows." He thinks shallow and more
porous compost, and the use of very little
animal manure in the same, will improve
conditions another year. Calceolaria ru-
gosa "Golden Gem" is a favorite in
pots, being grown in quantity. Camp-
bell violets are grown exclusively. Some
very fine forms of Cattleya Trianse were
noted. W. N. Craig.

The Market.

A week of iinprccedented suovv and
cold has brought things to a low level.
Stock is very scarce. Eoses are very
poor, with the exception of Brides and
Maids. Very few receptions have been
held on account of the snow and were
it not for an immense funeral trade
business would have stagnated. Carna-
tions are very scarce and of poor qual-
ity, with the exception of Enchantress,
which in some shops shows an improve-
ment over the past week. Bulbous
stock is coming in freely and of fine
quality. Prices are a little in advance
of last week. Some extra fine sweet
peas and violets are shown and are
bringing good prices. Several large
weddings and receptions the coming
week promise to brighten things up.

Various Notes.

Your correspondent visited the range
of W, J, Barnes, at Thirty-eighth and
Euclid streets, Mr, Barnes has entire-
ly remodeled his place and made quite
an addition to his already large plant.
He has two large houses in carnations
and is growing some fine Joost, Law-
son, Boston Market and Wolcott. He
also has two large houses in roses.
Brides, Maids, Gates and* Beauties. He
also has coming on an immense stock of
tulips, hyacinths, iQngiflorum and Har-
risii lilies. The office has been remod-
eled, with new fixtures, including a
new cash register and improved book-
keeping system. Mr. Barnes does very
little wholesaling, being able to dis-
pose of the most of his stock to local
trade.

J. H. Vescy, on Denver avenue, has
two large houses in carnations, some
fine bedding stock, and an exceedingly
fine lot of hardy roses coming on for
Easter trade. Mr. Vesey reports busi-
ness as very good in spite of the gloomy
weather.

A new firm, known as the Budd Park
Flower Co., is rebuilding the Jarrett
place and expects to have things in
shape for the spring trade.

E. A. Ilumfeld has one of the finest
locations in the city, having two of
the principal driveways of the park
system on either side of his place, and
is doing a large business. Mr. Humfeld
is confined to his home with the grip
but reports business as first-class.

Jas, Payne, of Union cemetery, has

FUNGUS ON ROSES.

We enclose a few rose leaves which
are affected with some kind of disease.
We would like to know the cause and
remedy. The leaves we send are off of
2-inch pot plants. The plants seem to
be thrifty with the exception of the
older leaves turning yellow around the
edges and curling up. In a house of
8,000 there is only one spot affected this
way but it seems to be spreading slowly.
Any information concerning this trouble
would be gladly received.

G. N. & F. C.

When the leaves reached me they
were so much dried up that it was al-
most impossible to diagnose the trouble
but they are evidently affected with a
fungus very much resembling the rose
leaf blight and which if unchecked can
do a lot of damage in a short time. It
may not be this identical fungus i)ut it
would be safe to treat it as such. Spray
with the carbonate of copper compound,
using five ounces of the carbonate of cop-
per to three quarts of ammonia and six-
ty gallons of water. Spray once a week
using a fine nozzle and wet every patt
of the leaves. This is a sovereign rem-
edy for many of the fungi which trou-
ble the rose under glass. Eibes.

DOROTHY PERKINS RAMBLER.

Kindly give me some advice as to
forcing the new rambler rose, Dorothy
Perkins. I want them for Easter. They
are in splendid shape now, just beginning
to break. G. J. E.

We have not forced this fine pink ram-
bler rose since the spring of 1903) but
it is only through neglect or carelessness,
for it is well worth forcing, and except
that its color is not so showy as Crim-
son Bambler, it is just as desirable an
Easter plant. Your plants are evidently
in just the right condition. You should
tie them into desirable shape. Keep
them sprayed daily, and 50 degrees at
night should do very well for another
month ; 5 degrees higher may be needed
near flowering time. The few dozen we
forced sold well. The cooler these ram-
blers can be flowered the better the color
and larger the flowers will be. W. S.

PLANTS FOR OUTDOORS.

We find about the beginning of March
the best time to sow seeds of peppers and
egg plant, as they want to be kept mov-
ing pretty freely after they are started
and require quite a little more heat than
the :uerage run of vegetable seedlings.
By powing at this date by the time the
plants have got a start the weather is
warmer and they can be grown on a
good deal easier than if started earlier.
We also sow our main crop varieties of
tomatofs about the same time.

Regarding varieties in egg plant there
is not HMK-h to choose from. Some firms
catalogue sevieral varieties but I am in-
clined to think that most of them will be
taken from the same bag. Though trying
several we have found nothing yet to
beat the old stand-by, New York Spine-
les.s. In peppers we like Buby King best
of the larger varieties but where a medi-
um-sized variety is wanted a very free
growing and prolific one is County Fair.
In tomatoes the varieties are so numer-
ous as to be rather bewildering, and (for
the beginner at least) it is hard to know
just what to choose. Of the main crop
varieties, Stone is, I think, the best in-
troduction of recent ears. No one will
make a mistake in growing a quantity
of this good all-round variety. Of the
purple tinted varieties the old Acme is
as good as any.

In i recent article I gave my ideas
ebout the sowing of seeds, soil employed,
temperature, etc., so it is needless to go
over the same ground again. The time
when the seedlings should be pricked over
will depend somewhat on how thick the
plants are in the flats. Tf they begin to
crowd one another at an early stage, they
will have to be handled all the sooner,
but Mnles.« they are crowded so as to
• nduce drawing it is well to wait until
the plants are of sufficient size to be.
easily handled. Ordinary potting soil will
be all right to use for this purpose. Tf
this contains a little well rotted manure
it will not do any hurt but chemical fer-
tilizers should be avoided. The size of
the flatb used is immaterial, so long as
they can be conveniently handled, but if
the size can be regulated so that they will
fit neatly into the benches, no space will
be wasted. A little rough material should
be put into the bottom of the flats to

dom necessary to sift the soil, it is all
the better to have that on the surface
rather fine.

The distance apart will have to be reg-
ulated by the growth of the diflferent
plants. About two inches each way will
be room enough for lettuce to attain
sufficient size for planting out, but cab-
bage and cauliflower will require about
three inches. Peppers, egg plant and to-
matoes succeed best when planted from
pots. It is better, however, to prick over
into flats from the seed flats, allowing
them a space of about two inches each
way, and pot up into 3-inch pots when they
liegin to crowd one another in the flats,
which will be about the end of April.

A COIL BOILER. .

I am thinking of building a hoUet of
1-inch wrought pipe, to heat 2,000
square feet of glass, 1,500 feet in car-
nations and lettuce and 500 feet in
roses, also three rooms in the dweUing
house, average size 10x12. How many
lineal feet of pipe will I need, arranged
in horizontal coils? How large a grate
area will be required and how large and
tall a smokestack? I use soft coal and
hot water for heating. What provision
can I make for cleaning such a boiler?
Thtf houses are all new and tight and
not much exposed. Is there a book
published treating on the above? •

C. L. W.

A boiler constructed as shown in the
Revieav of December 31, 1903, p. 269, in
order to heat the house you have, should
contain 140 feet of .1-inch pipe exposed
to the action of the heated gases of the
furnace. Such a furnace will contain
only about fifty feet of heating surface.
The size of the grate will depend some-
what upon the arrangement of the pipes
in the furnace. The more compact the
coils the smaller the grate can be
made. By making the top of the fur-
nace of cast-iron plates covered with
sand they ran be removed when it is
necessary to clean the water tubes. I
know of no book which will aid 'you in
the construction of such - boiler.

L. C. C.

SOOT IN FLUES.

I have two houses 18x60 heated with
a horizontal boiler with thirty 2-inch
flues and have trouble with soot in the
flues except where using wood with my
soft coal, but wood is expensive. "Wbat
is the most economical fuel to use, or
should I get a boiler with larger flues?

W. N. T.

The trouble with the heating plant is
evidently poor draught in tlje chimney.
If the stack were larger or" higher and
the fire coaled very lightly and more
frequently it is probable that less trouble
would be experienced. The flues should
be cleaned every twenty-four hours, how-
etrer) when using soft coal. If after^
trying the plan of light, level, "pan-
cake" firing no better results follow,
secure buckwheat or pea coal and try it.
Plants which act badly with soft coal
frequently give good results when fired
with hard coal. L. C. C.

DRAFT IN FLUES.

Referring to the inquiry of T. F., who
is having trouble with the draft in his
flue heating a house fifty feat long, if
he~*ni put a ffftmll stovtr where his floe
t\irni?'int6 'the cHimney'and starts to go
straight up, keeping a wood fire in it,
he will find his draught much improved.
A vary small stove, will .do the work by
heating the air in the flue and thereby
creating a draught. "W. N. Thorp.

SHExaxdoah. Ia. — The past year has
been a very prosperous one for the. trade
here and many improvements have been
made. Since the holidays trade has held
up better than usual and good prices have
been realized for cut flowers. Lately the
weather has been very severe, adding
gteatly to the work. O. B. Stevens is pre-
paring for a big business on dahlias,
c'annas and gladioli, which have been lead-
ing specialties with him.

CAUSES OF FLOWERS DOUBLING.

The botanists find the doubling of
flowers a somewhat hard nut to crack.
There are several forms of doubling,
one of the most common being found in
the multiplication of petals. But when
the inducing causes of doubling are con-
sidered there is ample opportunity for
speculation. In a general manner, the
causes assigned by physiologists, or the
plans, proposed by cultivators are re-
ducible to three heads — namely, pleth-
ora, starvation, and sterility. As Dr.
Masters stated many years ago, these
three seem inconsistent one with the
other, but are not so much so as they
appear at first sight to be. The advo-
cates of the plethora theory have much
in their favor; for instance, ths greater
frequency of double flowers among cul-
tivated plants than among wild ones,
aays the Horticultural Trade Journal.
Dr. Secmaun brought out the facts of
the great preponderance of double flow-
ers in plants derived from the northern
hemisphere, when contrasted with those
from the southern. Cases have been
known of debility or starvation having
the effect of changing flowers to the
double form; but then it has had a
eontrary effect also, as a case has been
mentioned of a doubb-flowered thorn
producing single blossoms from this
cause. Mr. Darwin makes mention of a
state of things which brings about steril-
ity or imperfect formation of the
flower, leading to a consequent increase
of the pstaline element, either in the
form of an increased number of bracts,
petals, etc., or in the substitution of
petals for stamers and pistils.

It is said that the way in which double
stocks are produced in Erfurt, Germany,
is by giving the plants a minimum sup-
ply of water. This much appears to be
certain that when once the disposition to
form double flowers is established from
any cause, that tendency becomes hered-
itary; there are races of stocks in which

out of hundreds of plants scarcely one
double flowered form is met with; this
is particularly the case with the Giant
Brompton, and especially so in the case
of the White Giant; on the other hand,
where the tendency is se^ up, single
flowers become the exception.

PLAN FOR HEATING.

I have a house, even span, east and
west, 24x100 feet, twelve feet six inches
to the ridge, side walls five feet high,
containing twenty inches of glass. On
the north side is a lean-to from the
eaves, of six-foot sash. The house, con-
taining three five-foot center benches, is
to be used for carnations and the lean-
to for violets. Using hot water, how
many lines of IH-inch pipes will be re-
quired, the house being tight but some-
what exposed and subject to the weather
of western New York? How large a
flow is needed and what is the best ar-
rangement of the system? The boiler
will be below the lowest point in the
piping. Using steam what piping would
be required? "What is meant by hot
water under pressure? L. C. S.

The house 24x100 will require twenty-
one runs of 1^4 -inch pipe arranged along
the side walls and under the benches, or
entirely under the benches, to heat it
to 60 degrees during severe weather with
hot water at 180 degrees. It should have
a 3^/^ -inch flow pipe to supply these
pipes. A good system would be to run
a 3 v.! -inch riser under the ridge with a
rise toward the far end of the house and
there divide into 2-inch branches to sup-
ply a coil under each of the three
benches, i. e.. three coils of seven pipes
each. The coils should have a fall from
the far end of the house towards the
boiler of at least twelve inches in the
100 feet. To heat this house with steam
the riser can be reduced to 2% -inch
and the twenty-one pipes replaced by
sixteen of the same size. The riser
should fall in the opposite direction for
steam, however. The lean-to house, if
provided with a 2-inch riser and four
1^-inch returns, should provide 50 de-
grees during severe weather with hot
water. If steam is used a 2-inch riser
and three 1%-inch pipes should do the
work.

Hot water under pressure is the system
of using small malleable pipes, such as
above mentioned, and using an expansion
tank of good size located twelve to
twenty feet above the returns in the
houses. In the above described hot
water system a 1-inch pipe should con-
nect with the main return near the
boiler and rise as nearly vertical as
possible to a height of fifteen feet or
more. If necessary, build a cupola on
the boiler-house to accommodate the ex-
pansion tank and use a tank with fifty
gallons capacity. L. C. C.

Keep Easter Stock CooL

We shall soon be studying out the
right time to get in various plants for
the big event, Easter. To those who
have been forcing plants for years for
this occasion I give no hint except to
remind them that Easter is very late and,
after this steady, hard winter, it is more
than likely we should get an early, bright
spring, although I don't aspire to be a
weather prophet, for they are "without
honor" both at home and abroad.

Azaleas of nearly all varieties must
be kept very cool. A north house, where
the direct sun will never reach them, is
a great help in retarding them, as well
as a low temperature. If kept now,
and for another month, almost dormant,
three or four weeks will be plenty of
time to give them in a light house and
moderate temperature. The bright and
perhaps warm days of April are sure
to make them jump,

Pyrus Japonica will want about four
weeks in the house. This is a very at-
tractive plant when well flowered, but it
is difficult to get plants well prepared
for forcing.

Various Shrubs.

We have been rather late more than
once with Deutzia gracilis. Give it six
weeks in a night temperature of 50 to
55 degrees. Lilacs you are forcing right
along and they are particularly well set
with buds this year. For Easter, four
weeks in the greenhouse will be plenty
of time for them. A well-flowered
Marie Legraye is a beautiful plant and
we find our customers know enough to
])refer a plant that has some blossoms
fully out and some buds to open, as
they do with the azalea.

The rhododendrons differ in earliness.
Tliose swelling their buds must be kept
cold and shaded but those showing no
signs of starting, and the buds small
and tight, can be got into a warmer
house, for these varieties come along
slowly. The hardy deciduous azaleas,
known as the Ghent hybrid varieties, are
not as generally grown as they deserve.
With a little decorating with ribbons,
etc., we find they sell well. They
give us shades of orange and pink and
clear yellow not found in any other of
our forcing plants and are a mass of
blossom. Considering the season, one
month will bring , them into flower from
the cold -frame.

Now all these plants, whjch are really
hardy shrubs, should receive a thorough
watering when first potted up or
brought into the houses and never al-
lowed to get dry afterwards; also, they
should be sprayed at least once a day
until the flowers are open. The syring-
ing is an important item.

^ZZ *' Lemon Verbena.

This is a good time to start up this
old favorite. In ovory mixed border of
plants there ought to be some lemon
verbena. Plants that have been under
the bench, dormant but not dried out,
will, if cut back to sound wood and

put into heat and kept sprayed, give
you any quantity of young, tender
growths, which root as easily as a coleus
providing you keep the sand well sat-
urated. I knew there is a prejudice
against the old-fashioned hotbed and I
am almost afraid to mention it, yet how
many of our plants will thrive anc;
grow in them as no up-to-date steam-
heated greenhouse can make them, and
the lemon verbena is particularly one of
them.

The Lantana.

The lantana is another plant that
should be started now. We give it the
same treatment, a little shortening of
last summer's growth, and with heat
and moisture soon get young growths
that root readily. This is not a showy,
high-colored bedding plant, yet most
pleasing. In the almost forgotten but
good old Pan-American there was a bed
of lantanas shown by Henry A. Dreer
Co. The variety was called Robert Craig
and there were few flower beds more ad-
mired on the grounds.

Petunias.

Your seedlings are now, or shortly
will be, advanced enough to prick out
into flats or pots. I much prefer pots
for these very small, soft plants, as
there is less danger of their damping
off if over-watered. We use a 2*/^-

apart. They will never feel the trans-
planting into the flower beds any more
than a pansy. What a lot of cheap
bedding plants can be grown in flats
quite as well and at half the cost and
labor of fussing with little pots! The
verbenas, alternantheras, petunias. Be-
gonia Vernon and several others can be
transplanted just as well as from pots
as we do all our asters and other so-
called hardy annuals.

Light or Air.

I mentioned just now to put these
petunias "near the glass." We have
contended heretofore that there was as
much light ten feet from the glass as
there was ten inches away and on the
middle bench of a light house there is
certainly perfect light. Yet what is
there that conduces to a healthy, vig-
orous growth, especially in winter, with
plants on a shelf near the glass? It is
not merely perfect light. It must be
the pure, fresh atmosphere they breathe
in the uppe» part of the house. The
heavier, denser and more impure atmos-
phere remains near the ground and this
sometimes makes me skeptical of our
low benches or solid beds for such im-
portant plants as the rose and carna-
tion. When ventilation can be given
daily and freely there may be little dif-
ference in the atmosphere in any part
of the house, but in the winter, when
the opportunity to ventilate is very in-
frequent, and then only to a small de-
gree, there must be a difference and
it is greatly to the advantage of the
plants well above the ground.

inch or 3-inch pot. Make the soil mod-
erately firm and then strike it off level
with the rim of the pot. With a fine
pointed stick, transplant the little seed-
lings, five or six plants around the edge
of the pot and three or four in the cen-
ter. Put the pots in the full light and
as near the glass as you can. When
thoy begin to crowd it is time to pot

in 3-inch pots, not growing much because
they should be kept on the dry side
and not higher than a night tempera-
ture of 45 degrees. You can shift them
now into 6-inch pots. Use rather rough,
unsifted loam with a fifth of rotten
manure and make the new soil firm.

among the pots will save a good deal
of fumigating. We will always have the
greatest respect for these good old pelar-
goniums, for they were instrumental
more than any other plant in our own-
ing our first greenhouse.

Salvia Splendens.

Don't fail to get up a good big stock
of some free flowering variety of Sal-

via splendens. More and more every
year these plants are in demand. There
is something about the brilliant flowers
that hartaionizes with the autumn tint of
our fields and foliage and you feel a
glow of warmth when looking at a bank
of the scarlet sage. It is so easily
propagated and grown nothing need be
said, only keep the red spider away by
frequent syringing. William Scott.

BASKET ARRANGEMENTS.- n.

In today's pictures we have styles of
baskets entirely different from the types
shown in the issue for February 9. In-
stead of the high arched handle, there
are in No. 1 two low circular handles,
which, when brought together, reduce
the center space and throw the flowers
up and out toward the ends, and in No.
2, stationary handles lengthen the ap-
pearance of the basket and add grace
to its severe outline.

The first study is a soft raffia basket
about ten inches long, suitable for sus-
pending in front of a mirror, under
a chandelier over a table, either alone
for a small table, or in a cluster for
a long table, or for a child to carry
at a wedding. A larger basket of the
same style might be used by a maid of
honor or bridesmaid for the same occa-
sion. As presented here the basket is
a get-ready-quick, loose arrangement,
intended to last a day or an evening,
but it is an open question whether
flowers without sphagnum packing and
stemming do not last equally well with
those which are laboriously prepared by
the old processes. The amount of
water which the stems absorb from the
sphagnum, which must be too dry to
drip, cannot be considerable. If stock
is well filled by standing over night, at
least several hours in water, it will re-
main fresh out of water for a period
long enough for almost any social occa-
sion. The advantages gained are time,
a little material, and a mors natural
effect of arrangement.

Some material, however, must be used
for a filler which will also serve for a
foliage effect. In this case a coil of
stiff Asparagus Sprengeri fills the body
of the basket and throws out its tip
end to the left above the handles.
Tliree or four sprays are added extend-
ing toward the edge of the basket
one through the handles sideways. Wire
these short sprays to the center coil.
Throe or four sprays are added extend-
ing towards the edge of the brisket
and one through the handles sideways.
Fasten the latter sprays to a handle
of the basket with a single wrapping,
and you have secured the filling in
place.

Then, with the center of the basket
as a starting point, fasten the sprays
of hyacinths to the strong Sprengeri.
It is best to wrap most of them, by a
turn or two of fine wire, to the Spren-
geri and let them fall over the green
background whichever way they nat-

urally incline. They must not all take
a downward turn, however. Set a clus-
ter upright, as seen a little to the right
of the center, and let a few short-
stemmed hyacinths be placed so as to
come out under the handles sidewise.
Care should be taken to follow and de-
velop the shape of the basket, which is
oblong. Equally long clusters should
not be allowed to hang out at the side,
as is shown from the illustration, where
the long sprays fall out from the ends,
and from the center toward the ends.

In order to have a gracefully filled
basket one must have a well shaped
basket to start with, and must keep
within the lines of the outline to
get the best results. In other words,
enlarge and develop the idea of the
maker of the basket with the filling.

The most desirable results to be ob-
tained from publishing illustrations of
this kind and describing so minutely
the process of construction is not that
somebody shall copy these designs to
their smallest details, but rather that

be more easily discovered and worked
out on account of a previous study
having been thoroughly made. The two
principles laid down by this illustra-
tion are, therefore, conformity to the
shape of the basket or frame of the de-
sign, and a common source or center
from which to start all stems or lines.

The second study is a more compli-
cated design, but more simple of con-
struction. It is a low, olive green,
rattan basket, rectangular in form, with
triple circular handles on the end. The
body of the basket is filled with violets
in two low dishes of water. The basket
is about twelve inches long and re-
quires 300 violets to fill after this
style. A small cluster of violets is
thrown over the handles on the right
and wired over the drapery of light
green embroidered chiffon. This chiffon
is drawn through the handles there and
allowed to fall loosely across the front
of the basket and is finally caught on
the handles to the left with the long
end hanging. Around the edges of the
basket the longer violets are drawn
out as far as possible against the drap-
ery. Then, starting with the drapery
on the right are La Detroit roses thrown
to the left across the corner of the
basket.

One of the best elements of a floral
design can never appear in a photo-
graph, and that is the coloring, but it
will not be difficult in this case to see
the color scheme in the mind's eye.
Violet, crimson pink and light green
describe it fully.

This basket is suitable for a low
centerpiece and can be filled with
sphagnum in the usual way. Stem the
violets in clusters of six or a dozen on
whole picks. See that the upper ends
of the picks run well in under the green
covering of the sphagnum. Wood ferns
are the best covering. Insert the
stemmed violets in clumps to look like
live plants. This is a series of bunches

the principles oi? design and construc-
tion may be discovered, described and
studied for succeeding occasions. If
one can learn how to fill one basket
correctly and gracefully he will prob-
ably be able to meet the next emerg-
ency equally well, and even though
some other liiw is involved in the cor-
rect arrangement of the second, it can

like the simple bunch of the hyacinths
in No. 1, which was remarked upon
as illustrating the principle that all
lines and stems of a design should
spring, or appear to spring, from a com-
mon source. All the space between the
clumps need not be filled closely; allow
patches of the background to appear
here and there. Following the tame

TUBEROUS RCXDTED BEGONIAS.

Do tuberous begonias do well in this
country, or is it too hot in this sec-
tion (Indiana) for them to grow to per-
fection t When ought they be planted
to have good plants at bedding out
time! H. D. S.

In western New York, which is cer-
tainly a cool section of the continent,
these begonias are fine bedding plants.
We have eeen beds of them in our public
parks that surpassed any geranium in
brilliancy of color and in varied form
of flower, and many shades were most
fascinating. The Eeview illustrated last
summer at least two beds of these plants.
One was very close to the writer's front
door and was a great success. People
walking along would simply glance at
a bed of cannas or geraniums, but they
would come to a full stop opposite the
begonias.

The begonias are aristocracy compared
to most of our other bedding plants.
It is not necessary but with us begonias
are benefited by partial shade, not be-
hind a wall or building or directly be-
neath a tree, but say by a tree some
distance to the south of them that would
shade from the noon sun. We believe,
however, that Indiana has a much warm-
er climate and more bright hot sun-
shine and that i>artial shade would be
an essential. Watering has much to do
with success. Make the bed almost level
and then you can water thoroughly by
running the hose between the plants and
give the bed a soaking twice a week
in hot, dry weather. This sprinkling
the bed daily and its not soaking in
more than half an inch is simply an
abomination and aggravation, especially
to these begonias.

I think* failure with these plants has
often occurred because they were too
much grown inside and felt the change
from, perhaps, a shaded bench to the
sun and wind outside. I don't know
when you bed out tender plants, in In-
diana perhaps by the middle of May ;
we can't plant with safety before June

1. About April 1 we put the begonia
bulbs in fiats of sandy soil mixed with
leaf-mold or very rotten manure. If
placed over some hot water pipes they
soon start and should be given a light
place on the bench. We pot them about
May 1 into 3-inch or 3 1/^ -inch pots and
plunge in a very mild hotbed. Here
they grow rapidly, but stout and robust,
and by the middle of the month we
can remove the sash and let them be
exposed to sun and air and by planting
out time they feel no change. For an
interesting pretty bed, all colors and
double and single varieties mixed is the
thing to please. The single flowers, how-
ever, make the greatest show. W. S.

STEVIA.

I have a stevia which does not bloom
until February 1 to 15. In the same
greenhouse Stevia variegata blooms De-
cember 1 or sooner. It seems impossible
to make the other come earlier. The
kind seems to be Stevia serrata. I am
compelled to keep the plants in the
house all the time here in Alabama be-
cause outside zero is more than they
wiU stand. F. J. U.

If the species is S. serrata it flowers
in the north in December and by keep-
ing very cool after showing flower it
is most useful as a cheap flower at
Christmas. There is in the query some
mention about zero. Surely there is no
zero in Alabama. This stevia, although
a cold blooded plant, will not endure
a single degree of frost. Perhaps our
chilly October days arrest growth and
induce flower, while the balmy October,
November and perhaps December of the
sunny south encourage growth and hin-
der the great function of reproduction,
which is flowering. The variegated
form of S. serrata may flower earlier
from the fact that it is variegated and
therefore less vigorous in growth.

We plant out the small plants of this
stevia the end of May and lift before
there is danger of frost. If you were
to grow them entirely in pots, as we
used to do years ago, and starve them
for root room, it would likely induce
them to flower a month earlier. Send
me a spray of leaf and flower.

William Scott.

STANDARD SIZES OF PLANTS.

I was much interested in the effort to
secure the adoption of some sort of a
measure of quality of plants at the last
convention of the S. A. F. The society
seems to have shelved the problem as one
impossible of solution.

Some sort of a measure of quaUtv
more definite than size of pot and ad-
jectives is certainly much to be desired,
both by those who buy and those having
stock of good quality to sell, and it
seems to me that the matter did not re-
ceive at St. Louis the consideration to
which its importance entitled it. Why
not invite a discussion of the subject in
the Review t I believe that the com-
bined wisdom of the thoughtful members
of the trade could evolve some sort of a
scale or classification that would be a
vast improvement on present methods,
even if not as exact and complete as to
be wished. W. E. S.

[We shall be pleased to hear from
any one who has a suggestion to make
along the lines indicated. The determina-
tion of a rational standard for the desig-
nation of sizes of stock is certainly de-
voutly to be wished for. How can it
be donet — Ed.]

FREESIAS.

Will freesias bloom from seed in four
months? I see in some of the catalogues
that they will. As we have never grown
any we would like to know what W. S.
thinks about it. I have his Manual,
but he does not say anything about
growing them from seed. We have a
bench here 4x95 and if we were to
plant the bulbs in it next fall how
many could we plant in a bench of that
size? Will they grow in boxes four
inches deep in good earth? My idea is to
put the boxes on the bench "and, after
they have bloomed, take the boxes off
and plant something else on the bench.
Will they grow that way? R. & S.

We have never raised these bulbs
from seed. It is possible they may send
up a flower spike from the strongest
bulbs the first year, but we doubt it,
and you most assuredly could not depend
on these seedlings for a crop. The
bulbs or, more properly, corms, are sold
to us so cheap that it would be folly
for us in the northern states to go into

raising our own bulbs. The bulbe are
produced in France, also in Bermuda
and California.

A bench 4x95 would hold an enormous
lot of bulbs and •without going into the
number it would be far more, if all flow-
ered at once, than any market would
demand, as they can be planted three
inches apart in the rows and five inches
between rows.

There is no better plan than the one
you suggest, viz., to put the bulbs in
boxes of convenient size and four, inches
■deep. Then a moderate amount of

bench room will be sufficient to force
thousands of these pretty flowers. You
can cut freesias at Christmas and on
to June by making plantings from Au-
gust to February, The earliest can be
started in frames. These bulbs do not
want covering, as do tulips and hya-
cinths. Be careful not to keep the soil
too wet before active growth begins. It
is no very severe forcing we give the
freesia, therefore, after the flower is
cut and the plants dried off, the bulbs
can be grown again the following win-
ter. W, S.

CARNATION NOTES.-EAST.

Topping; Young Stock.

On the care taken with the work of
topping depends the shapeliness of the
plant at housing time and it goes with-
out saying that the first top is an all
important one inasmuch as it has a di-
rect bearing on the neck of the plant.
If topped too low there will be scarcely
any neck; if too high, the result will
be a top-heavy plant, very liable to be
troublesome iji the field.

Of course we cannot produce plants
as near alike as peas in a pod, but a
little preliminary thought and exercise
of care will do much to encourage even-
ness and symmetry in growth. Yon will
find this desirable when housing, and
particularly so if desirous of disposing
of the surplus.

Some varieties have a natural dispo-
sition to form neat, busby specimens,
but there are those of the "let me lay
down" sort. Daybreak and White Cloud,
for instance, which, if carelessly
topped at the start, give no end of
trouble by their persistent sprawling.

Like many other operations there is
a proper way and time to top. Above
all things do not pull out the center
of a plant to induce branching. Be-
sides being a barbarous custom it leaves
a lodging place for moisture. Allow
growth to continue until you can see
signs of the formation of a stem be-
tween the lower three or four joints;
then it is time to top. Use a sharp
knife, making a clean, smooth cut that
will heal "quickly. Breaking with a quick
snap is liable to take more than in-
tended and gouging off with the thumb
nail leaves an ugly wound.

Opinions differ somewhat as to the
point at which to cut, and rightly so,
as different varieties need treatment to
conform with their natural habit of
growth. As a rule trim-growing sorts
should be cut just above the fourth
joint; those of sprawly habit, a joint
lower. As an experiment I have cut
White Cloud, leaving but two joints,
with the result that we lifted extra tine
shaped plants.

The advantage of having stock in pots
will be apparent when topping, as thoFe
can be set aside and kept a trifle dry
until the new growth appears.

If you transfer stock from pots to

flats or repot as occasion requires, re-
member not to top and at once repot or
transfer. Allow time for roots to ad-
.just themselves.

At no time can young plants be al-
lowed to suffer for water if for no
other reason than that this treatment
hardens the stem and retards branch-
ing.

Keep the plants cool, which will in-
duce sturdy, short-jointed growth, which
is the foundation of shapely plants.

Do not worry about the plants be-

ing too small if kept cool. It is not
so much the size we want for some time
yet as it is a vigorous look.

CROP FOR EASTER.

We have a house of carnations of the
following kinds: Lawson, Francis Joost,
White Cloud and Queen Louise. They
have been giving a good crop of flowers
since December 1, but are now going
off crop. How shall we handle them
from now on to get another crop for
Easter? They are at this time full of
nice, strong breaks, about the size of
good cuttings, or in other words shoots
from two to four inches long and over.

We have been keeping the night tem-
perature at 52 to 56 degrees. We gave
them a sprinkling of ashes of tobacco
stems three days ago and scratched it
in and intend to give & watering of liq-
uid sheep manure. Is this right?

j^jS. F, P.

I would not advise you to feed your
carnations liquid until the flower stems
have begun to set buds. You will do
far better to give them a mulch, of half-
rotted cow manure an inch thick or a
half inch of sheep manure and soil
mixed, about half and half. While the
plants are between crops they are not
in shape to stand much feeding. You
would find that Queen Louise especially
would sicken and turn yellow. After
they get into a vigorous growth you can
feed them" with safety, Easter comes
very late this year, the last part of
April, and you should have no trouble in
getting another crop on by that time
without raising the temperature. Just do
all you can to promote a strong, sturdy
growth, so the cut will be high grade.

A USEFUL PLOW.

In one of the recent issues I saw. a
statement I cannot now find, in regard
to a hillside plow. Can you tell me where
they are manufactured? J. A, F,

Almost any implement dealer ought to
be able to get you one of those hillside
plows. Ours came from the Gale Manu-
facturing Co., at Albion, Mich, You
will wonder how you got along without
it so long, after you have used it a
season. I might add that this plow is
not as good for breaking up new ground
as the regulation breaking plow, as it
does not turn the soil as well when it is
lumpy. A, F. J, Baur.

A GROWER'S IDEA OF STEM-ROT.

fA piiper by Wm. Weber, of Oakland. Md.,
read »)eforp the New York Florists' Club on
Carnation Night, February 13.]

In accepting the invitation of your sec-
retary to read a paper here tonight, T
judged that in the absence of a definite
subject being assigned to me, I was free
to take up any part or parts I might
choose. I have therefore sought to avoid
rehearsing the old story, beginning with
the taking of the cuttings and winding
up with their ultimate end when the
torch is applied somewhat more than a
year later.

In attempting to discuss the subject
of cutting bench fungus or stem-rot, it
is not my intention or wish to lock horns
with any of our brethren who are study-
ingr these subjects from a scientific stand-
point. We need the aid of the experi-
ment stations and scientific men; we
have been benefited much as a result of

their labors aud we look forward to their
aid in disposing of the various vexing
problems which are constantly besetting
us, but I believe tliat our friends, the
professors, being only human, are apt to
err just as we ordinary growers are apt
to do.

Fungi, a Cause or a G>ndition ?

Prof. Hasselbring, in his paper read
recently before the American Carnation
Society in session at CSiicago, stated that
fungi in every instance are the prime
cause of disease, not the condition. Now
I doubt if any successful grower who
has given the subject any serious con-
sideration will corroborate Prof. Hassel-
bring's statement. If he told us that
typhoid, smallpox, etc., were first causes
and not the result of conditions he would
be arguing along the same lines. But let
us see how his theory stands when com-
pared with what I believe are the actual
facts in the case.

"We will start at the cutting bench, say
with a full bench of sound, healthy cut-
tings, recently placed in new sand. I
maintain the idea that during the rooting
process cuttings not only do not require
direct sunlight, but even strong light,
such as will penetrate ordinary news-
papers with the sun shining directly upon
it, is far from beneficial. You will see
at a glance, then, that I am an ardent
adherent of the north-side propagating
house for carnations.

But to illustrate why fungus appears
let us imagine our bench of cuttings is
in a house admitting the sun's rays at
all hours, but especially during mid-day.
During cloudy weather it is not difficult
to maintain an even temperature of
about 50 to 60 degrees, but during bright
weather it is not so easy. Of course the
glass may be shaded, but much heat will
generate just the same, and it is quite
easy for the temperature to go above the
danger point, which is 60 to 65 degrees,
depending somewhat upon the conditions.

Effect of Light and Heat.

Under the influence of strong light and
added heat, plants throw off the moisture
collected during the night and a wilting
ensnes. This process is equivalent to
exercise in the animal family, but we
don 't expect infants to take strong nour-
ishment and vigorous exercise, and we
must act accordingly with our cuttings.
When we give heat and light in suflScient
quantities to cause this wilting process,
evaporation takes place out of all pro-
portion to the cutting's vitality and abil-
ity to withstand the drain. One good

experience like this will start the ball
rolling. Cuttings here and there, or
whole batches, have a shriveled appear-
ance and refuse to thoroughly freshen
up; it will not be long then before an
examination will disclose the presence of
fungus around the stems, which will kill
the cuttings quickly or slowly, according
to the temperature maintained.

We advocate the north-side propagat-
ing house because of its easier manage-
ment. The direct rays of the sun are
kept out during most of the propagating
season, but sufficient light is admitted
for all purposes. The only time we ex-
perience difficulty at all is when the high
south partition or wall no longer ex-
cludes the sun's rays, when greater vigi-
lance is necessary. However, even then
the sun's rays strike the glass at a very
extreme angle and we do not suffer in
proportion as we used to before we
adopted the north side.

Clear Sand Not Necessary.

We have found it unnecessary to have
clear sharp sand; in fact, we consider
that a distinct drawback. The inability
to secure sharp sand in our section soon
taught us this lesson. We all know that
for the first few weeks the cutting is
obliged to subsist upon its own vitality,
and while the process of rooting is go-
ing on, a gradual hardening of the stem
takes place, and if allowed to remain in
sharp sand long after they become
rooted, we say they are woody. This is
a frequent cause for stem-rot developing

in the plants later on, and usually pro-
duces the slow process of rotting unless
conditions very favorable to the growth
of fungi exist, when wholesale dying will
result.

This does not occur with cuttings
rooted in sand containing some loam,
decayed leaves, twigs, etc., such as we
find along the banks of any small stream
which overflows at various times of the
year, depositing the sand, leaves, twigs,
etc., mixed .with some of the fat of the
land, a very fine loam.

The nourishment contained in sand of
this kind, while very mild, is very nour-
ishing to young cuttings just putting out
their first tiny rootlets, and from this
moment on they begin to stop hardening
at the stem, and grow, instead of getting
woody and laying the found^^ion for
various stages of stem-rot to crop out
later on.

With our system of propagation it
takes about six weeks during raid-winter
to thoroughly root a batch of cuttings,
and during this time they are watered
about six times, four times during the
first two weeks. After they are callused
they are kept increasingly dryer until
they are quite dry when ready to plant
in soil or pot up. This drying process
we find necessary to counteract the ab-
sence of sunlight.

I do not wish to infer that good re-
sults are not obtainable in a propagating
house admitting the direct rays of the
sun, but the point I would make, is that
the chances for unfavorable conditions to
arise are much greater as compared
with the north-side house.

Any Qieck Causes Stem-Rot.

Any check sustjiined by the plants
after being removed from the cutting
bench, such as getting extremely dry in
flats or pots, will result in producing
that hard woody condition in the base of
the plant; and every grower knows how
plants so treated will at best die a
lingering death. Many plants more or
less affected in this way find their way
into the field, which is responsible for
much of the stem-rot found there. Deep
planting and imperfect drainage are also
large contributors to stem-rot.

A couple of years ago we began our
field planting, as is our custom, about
May 15. The soil was quite dry, but
there were indications of rain; however,
the rain did not come, and on the third
day we were obliged to water the plants
by hand. The bright sun and a strong

wind, however, had already sapped out
all of the moisture the plants could
muster; consequently quite a few never
revived, some only partially revived, and
others kept dying from time to time
throughout the summer, and even after
they were housed. Perhaps a week later
we had plenty of rain but those planted
in the dry ground without being watered
until the third day kept on dying just
the same, while those planted after the
rain, and those watered as they were
planted, did not suffer.

Rot Enters at Surface.

Just a word concerning the theory ad-
vanced by Prof. Hasselbring that the
fungus enters the plant through the
roots. I have never yet been led to be-
lieve this could be the case and, instead,
I have invariably noticed that the fungus
operates upon the surface of the sand
or soil, and any dead roots are the re-
sult of curtailed breathing of the plant
through a loss of foliage. The same
thing happens if we use the pruning
shears too freely upon our roses or other
growing plants. A portion of the roots
die through a lack of something to do.

We have all noticed young plants and
even old plants carried off by quick rot
just at the surface of the soil, and some
time later see numerous small new
growths coming out of the old stem, in-
dicating that the old root is still alive,
and doing away with the idea that the
disease enters the plant by way of the
roots. The slow form of stem-rot would

too far. We can cite many illustrations
of this kind.

We have also noticed that plants par-
tially affected with stem-rot have lived
for months, and in the meantime pro-
duced a partial crop of good blooms.
We do not attribute this entirely to the
resistant power of the plant, to the dis-
ease, but rather to the absence of favor-
able conditions for the growth of the
fungus.

I am willing to go on record as differ-
ing with Prof. Hasselbring that the
fungi are the prime cause of disease.
In my humble opinion they are the effect,
and conditions unfavorable to plant life
and favorable to the rapid growth of the
fungi are the immediate causes. In
other words, the fungi bear the same re-
lation to vegetable matter that th?
green bottle fly and its larva do to
carrion — nature 's method of disposing of
dead matter where sufficient moisiur©
and heat exist to make the growth of
these organisms possible.

The proof of Mr, Weber's paper was
submitted to Prof. Hasselbring, at the
University of Chicago, when he made
the following comment:

There still seems to be some miscon-
ception regarding stem-rot. This dis-
ease is caused by a fungus known as
Fusarium. Unfavorable conditions may
predispose plants to attacks of the fun-
gus, but if the fungus is not present
no condition of light, heat or moisture
can produce stem-rot. These are not

speculative considerations, but experi«
mental facts. H. Hasselbring.

AT ILLINOIS' CAPITAL.

Springfield, the capital city of Illinois,
is rather out of the beaten track and
we do not hear as much of the florists
there as we do of some in smaller places
and doing less business. Springfield is
a city of upwards of 40,000 people and
there are several nice ranges of glass
and some rather good stuff grown in
them. There axe nearly a dozen places
and every one of them worth a visit.
Nearly aJl are located on the outskirts,
so that one gets a chance to see the
city in going from one to the other. In
summer it is a very pleasant trip but
just now there is more snow on the
groimd than in many years previous.

One of the largpit and best kept places
is that of a Imght eyed, quick witted
young woman, Miss Bell Miller, whose
business ability is not less than her per-
sonal popularity. A widely known place
is that of the W. T. Buckley Co.,
which does a large wholesale plant busi-
ness. The late Louis Unverzagt did a
good trade and Carl Eauth, David
Wirth, H. L. Phelps, and Wm. Bier-
stadt & Son are each keeping up with
the procession.

One of the ranges which has attracted
most local attention of late is that of
A. C. Brown. A year ago Mr. Brown
was located practically in the center of
the city but last season he undertook the
very large task of moving to a new
stand a mile farther out. For many
years Mr. Brown had been a partner of
A. C. Canfield. When they separated
each continued in business for himsolf
Mr. Canfield has a large and growing
place in the south part of town and
grows cut flowers for the St. Louis mar-
ket. Mr. Brown retails most of what
he produces at his store on South Fifth
street, so that the old partners can
hardly be said to be in competition.

Mr. Brown's new plant is a modern
cne and already there are preparations
for extending it in the spring. Two
ninety horse-power boilers lie just out-
side the boiler room and inside are two
of eighty horse-power in operation.
Boses and carnations are grown in con-
siderable quantity and violets have done
so well this season that more will be

indeed, give this impressiog, but knowing
the facts as already stated, I believe this
view to be erroneous. Cutting bench
fungus and stem-rot will cease when the
conditions favoring its growth cease, and
not before.

No Immunity in Prospect.

It is true that some varieties are car-
ried off much quicker than others, but
this does not indicate that we may hope
for varieties which will remain immune
under conditions favorable to the growth
of fungi, but rather that those varieties
of a rather soft or fleshy nature, such as
Daybreak, Uncle John, Flora Hill, En-
chcntress and others similarly consti-
tuted, need special care. As a rule such
varieties must be kept a little dryer
than those of a more firm and solid
growth.

While there is no hope of ridding a
plant of the disease when once attacked,
I know that in the case of valuable
plants, such as first year seedlings, cut-
tings may be taken with entire safety,
providing the disease has not progressed

grown another year. Quite a number of
pot plants are grown for use at the
store. The roses have done well but
were necessarily late planted because of
the rebuilding. The carnations were also
benched late but have done well, Law-
son, Enchantress, Boston Market and
Mrs. Nelson looking especially fine. Nel-
son Fisher and Wrs. Patten will be
grown more extensively another season.
There will then be two more large
Louses, one for carnations and one for
roses. There are already six houses, five
315 feet long and one 160 feet long.
The houses run east and west on a side
hill with a gentle slope to the south.
The steam main runs across the center
of the range in a tunnel. The heating

system works perfectly and was installed
by the foreman, Wm. P. Marshall, who
if seen in the accompanying illustration
of the bench of Enchantres's carnations.
Mr. Marshall is a graduate of Peter
Fisher 's school of carnation growing and
got his training on roses under Alex.
Montgomery. He planted his carnations
from pots in June. He has not had ten
per cent split Lawsons this season and
will grow Mr. Fisher's varieties and
some others indoors next season, being
well satisfied with results. One of the
pictures shows Mr. Brown in a rose
house. Just at present he's in Mexico.
Jn the picture showing the Begonia
Gloire de Lorraine and the Bostons is

PROPAGATING FOR EXHIBITIONS.

It is not too early to begin thinking
about propagating the chrysanthemum
cuttings, ior many of the best exhibi-
tion growers already have their cuttings
rooted. February propagation is none
too early for many varieties, particularly
those of dwarf habit, Merza, Nellie
Pockett, Cheltoni and W. E. Church fur-
nishing good examples of the varieties
referred to. If one has lots of head-
room any of the kinds may be rooted
now and grown right along with ad-
vantage but in such a case one must
have twelve feet of head room, clear
above the bench, which is not often pro-
vided for. I saw Timothy Eaton last
year over twelve feet high with flowers
of enormous size, showing the good ef-
fects of a long growing season. The
idea that one can strike cuttings in June
and get just as good flowers from them
as though the cuttings were rooted in
February is now proven beyond question
to be wrong.

The grower for commercial flowers
only does not need to bother yet awhile,
excepting in the case of new or scarce
varieties, which it may be desired to
increase considerably. These may be
rooted and when the young plant has
made sufficient growth it can be topped
and the cutting rooted. This operation
may be repeated several times without
much injury to the stock if done proper-
ly and the plants carefully handled.

When the cuttings are rooted they
should be potted up at once and kept
in a cold house, and by being rooted 1
mean when the young roots are half an
inch long. It is a great mistake to
leave cuttings in the sand until the roots
are five or six inches long and the top
all drawn up and spindly. Such a con-
dition as this will cause a severe check
to the plant at the commencement of
its career, and that spindly, hide-bound
cutting never catches up to its stronger,
better cared for neighbor.

It occasionally happens, after a batch
of cuttings have been potted up, that
they will run to bud instead of making
a clean good growth. Every spring I
hear more or less of this trouble and,
noticing a batch of plants yesterday
that were budding when they should be
growing, reminded me that some begin-
ner may shortly be worrying because

his plants were doing the same thing.
This disposition to run to bud instead
of growth shoots may proceed from sev-
eral causes. First, some varieties are
"built" that way, W. E. Church be-
ing a bad offender with me at any sea-
son of the year, and, secondly, improper
selection of cuttings will at times be
the cause.

The ideal cutting is the sucker that
comes through the ground and is about
two inches or so in length. When cut-
tings are taken from the stem of the
plant or when the suckers are allowed
to run up a foot or so in height before
being topped, they very frequently run
to bud after rooting. Another thing
that will cause cuttings to make bud is
permitting them to get too dry and wilt-
ed in the sand and before they are root-
ed. A chrysanthemum cutting should

never be allowed to wilt down but should
be kept well watered in the sand and
frequently sprayed, also, if the day is
warm. If it is dried out a time or two
the cutting gets too hard and dry to
root and will very frequently make a
small, abortive bud and never root at
all, or in such a feeble, half-hearted
way that it is useless.

This drying of the shoot causing a
bud to appear is a useful hint to the
grower if he cares to take advantage
of it. In August if the plants are run-
ning too high and| no sign of a bud
showing, by drying off the plants a few
times the tissues of the tender growth
harden and a bud will result which
might otherwise not have appeared for
some time. It will thus be seen that
while man may not be able to make
the mum do just as he wants it to, he
can by watching its peculiarities come
reasonably close to it.

THE BETTER CUTTING.

Will you please tell me if I take
a chrysanthemum cutting and root it
now, then later on take the top off and
root it, which is the better plant for ex-
hibition purposes? E. li.

The remarks on propagating, in this
issue, bear somewhat on this query
since the writer will notice that I recom-
mend February propagation for the
slower growing varieties. It is largely
a matter of head room. It has been
proven that, all other things being equal,
a cutting rooted in February or March
produces a deeper, more solid flower
than will a cutting rooted in June, since
it has so much longer to grow- and ma-
ture. Either of the cuttings would pro-
duce equally good flowers if properly
cared for, the fact of one bein^ a top
from the other being immaterial.

Charles H. Tottt.

TREATMENT FOR BEAUTIES.

When there is a protracted period of
dull weather Beauties are inclined to
run to wood rather than forming flow-
er buds and to stop or prevent this
condition requires a deal of skill and
careful watching. Great care must be
taken not to give too much water, as this
encourages the habit, and still greater
care is needed not to feed too liberally,
especially with nitrogenous matter. As
a prevention they should be run on the
dry side until the flower buds begin

to form, when water can again be gii
freely.

To encourage the setting of buds and
discourage rank growth a topdressing of
wood ashes can be used but as this is
a very concentrated food it has to be
used sparingly at first application, one
bushel being sufficient for 300 square
feet of bench. This can be alternated
every three or four weeks by an ap-
plication of bone meal and as the days
lengthen the quantity can be gradually
increased.

I have frequently under such condi-
tions used liquid ammonia with succesB
but as this chemical is very quick in its
action it requires to be used with cau-
tion. For a first application, one gal-
lon of ammonia diluted with seventy*

five gallons of water is about the
strength that can be used with safety,
and only on bright days, once in two
weeks.

As the plants get accustomed to this
class of food the strength can be grad-
ually increased till the proportion would
be one gallon of ammonia to fifty gal-
lons of water.

"With the advance of spring, growth
will naturally become rank and greater
care and attention should be given to
keeping the stems neatly tied up, so
that they may not become crooked, which
greatly detracts from their value.

If the foliage becomes too dense, shut-
ting out the light from the surface of
the soil, a judicious thinning of the
foliage close to the bench is beneficial,
£8 this allows a free passage of air
allowing the leaves to become dry by
sundown and has a tendency to prevent
black spot and other troubles. fiiBES.

Boses planted in June and skilfully
bandied should produce during the period
stated an average of twenty-seven
blooms per plant, including all grades.

even better than this. Bibes.

TEMPERATURE.

We would like to know the tempera-
ture required for gaining the best re-
sults in growing American Beauties and
also for Brides and Bridesmaids. V.

The most suitable temperature for
Brides and Maids is 56 degrees during
the night. Day temperature can range
from 62 degrees during cloudy weather
to 80 degrees in bright sunshine. Beau-
ties give best results at 58 to 60 degrees
night temperature, with much the same
temperature as Brides and Maids dur-
ing the day.

These figures are not arbitrary, as
many growers produce good stock at
bigher temperatures than this, but the
conservative grower who studies the gen-
eral health of his stock will find that
by abiding by these figures and ventilat-
ing judiciously good results will follow.

CARRYING STOCK OVER.

This is only my second winter as a
florist and consequently I don't "know
it all" as yet, though I have had fair
success with my carnations and roses.
What I want to know is this: Could I
carry over my roses for another year
by drying off in June and then simply
water once or twice a week till Au-
gust, prune, remove part of the soil, re-
placing with new compost, •< and start
afresh? Of course by omitting daily
syringing, the red spider would come,
but would not this be removed in great
part by the pruning! I have other
things to attend to in the summer and
can do no work in the greenhouse. Could
I get some young stock in June, teas

and Beauties, repot in 6-inch and plunge
to the rims outdoors, mulching to keep
moist, and plant in the benches in Au-
gust? My rose house is only a small
one, and I want to start up in the fall
with as little expense as possible.

. F. D. B.

These roses can be carried over an-
other season with good results by the
method suggested. The greatest care
has to be taken in the drying off process,
so that the yonng wood and foliage
must never be allowed to will, nor must
spider be allowed to destroy the leaves,
as these are quite as essential to the
well-being of the plant at this period
as at any other time.

Seeing that you cannot attend to the
houses during summer, the plan you
suggest may succeed with young stock
but the care and work required would
be more than young stock would need
if planted in the l^nch and cared for
in the usual manner and good results
by the latter method would be more
certain. Bibes.

TO PROTECT WATER PIPES.

In telling how to protect water pipes
from freezing I am speaking from ac-
tual experience with a 60-toot standpipe
under a tank and also with another
tank only thirty-two feet high. Both
of these pipes are l^^-inch. We tried
several methods, and found the present
plan entirely satisfactory. It may seem
at first rather expensive, but such a job
to be improperly done is much more
expensive, as we have found by experi-
ence. The diagram will show just how
we do it. Make a 4-inch pipe of heavy
galvanized iron in sections like stove pipe.

Plan for Protecting Pipe.

each made to slip over the next. Every
second section should have four copper
wires run through holes in the pipe on
four sides and opposite to each other and
the wire soldered on the outside, also
solder the holes up tight. As you put
each section on fasten these wires so the
water pipe is in the middle of the galvan-
ized pipe. If inconvenient to disconnect
your water pipe to slip these pipes over
the top, then crimp and fasten at top and
bottom with small short stove bolts, screw
heads on the outside. Then put the boards
on as shown in the diagram. Be sure al-
ways to break joints. Do not wrap the
pipes with anything; leave them bare.
Paper and asbestos get wet in summer
and freeze in winter. Do not try to keep
the water from freezing in the pipes by
letting water run through them; it will
not work under most conditions. Unless
the water is very warm in the tank it
will form ice and freeze quicker running

than if not running. If you have a wind-
mill to supply the water by letting the
water run and also the mill you will be
all right, but any other kind of a supply
will not be satisfactory. I use a gasoline
engine and pump every night just before
going to bed for a few minutes, and had
no trouble during the last severe winter.
The other tank is supplied by a ram, and
the water is so cold coming from the ram
that it will often freeze while the ram is
working. With this style of protection
you have an advantage over any other
method, as by< setting a lamp under the
box you can thaw the worst kind of a
freeze out in a very short time.

The heat gets direct at the pipe, and
very quickly lets the ice loose, and there
is no possible danger from fire, because
the iron pipes are protection. Before
putting up, the pipes it is best to paint
them with white lead and oil, which will
keep them from rusting for many years.
A lamp set in this box on the severest
night in the coldest climates will abso-
lutely prevent freezing. The chimney of
the lamp should be made of tin, and
should be eight to ten inches long, and fit
tightly through a hole in a piece of tin
under the box. Brush the wick every
day and put in a new wick every month.
A lamp with a ^-inch wick is large
enough. You will only need the lamp
during extremely cold nights.

In the diagram A is the water pipe and
W are wires to hold the pipe in cen-
ter; circle is galvanized iron pipe four
inches in diameter. Best are one-inch
boards carefully trued. Paper should
be put under every joint, and two thick-
nesses would be better. It acts as an air-
tight washer. Numerous XX represent the
several dead air spaces; Y is inner dead-
air space, which can be warmed when
necessary. — Bural New Yorker.

WITH BOSTON GROWERS.

Patten & G>., Tewksbury.

AmoD^ the largest and best growers
for the Boston market is the well-known
firm of Patten & Co., Tewksbury, situ-
ated quite near Almont and Tewksbury
Center stations on the Boston and Maine
railroad. Carnations are the great spe-
cialty here; in fact, little else is han-
dled. The houses are mostly roomy, of
quite modern construction, and every-
thing on the place is kept clean and in-
viting. In white varieties, Lady Bounti-
ful looks splendid, being a mass of bloom
and buds. This sort is well liked and
will be retained. Mr. Patten 's son says
indoor culture or early lifting is nec-
essary for best results. A batch of
The Belle looked remarkably well and
if Lady Bountiful were away would
be considered an acquisition. White
Lawson will also be grown again in
quantity. As seen here it is a wonder-
ful producer, flowers perfectly pure also.
The Queen and Boston Market both
looked well, the former if anything car-
rying the heavier crop.

Dorothy Whitney is the only j^ellow
grown. It succeeds wonderfully well,
being loaded with fine blooms. In dark
pinks Lawson and Nelson Fisher are
grown. The latter was better here than
we have previously seen it. Mr. Patten
says be will discard Lawson in favor of
it next season. In light pinks Enchant-
ress is grown in quantity and appeared
invincible. Some Fair Maid are also
grown, but was producing less freely
than Enchantress. Quite a number of
Flamingo are being grown. It will be
dropped, however, not being found at
all profitable, l^e most prolific scar-
let is J. H. Manley, but it does not come
up to the ideal scarlet by any means.
Crusader is classed as of no value, lack-
ing in stem and number of blooms.

Mrs. M. A. Patten, as grown here, is
superb, a batch of 5,000 plants bristling
with buds and blooms. The sportiveness
of this variety was evidenced by a con-
siderable batch of the pink sport, which,
when it becomes reliably fixed, should
be valuable. A very distinct and pleas-
ing sport with lavender blue markings
was also noted. Variegated Lawson was
being propagated for another season's
trial. Judge Hinsdale is not considered
of much value. Sensation, while small,
was of a rather pleasing color. Daheim
and President are grown as crimsons, the
former being the favorite, its principal
fault being coming short-stemmed early
in the season.

A considerable batch of seedlings are
under trial, some of which are very prom-
ising. One of which a considerable
batch is grown and which has recently
been figured in the Review is The Mi-
kado (Roosevelt x Prosperity) the mark-
ings being deeper than in Prosperity. It
has a stiff, wirv stem which holds the
flowers erect and is much more florifer-
ous than Prosperity. The propagating
house was filled to repletion with ex-
cellent stock. A nice batch of Cypripe-
dium insigne was noted. Some fine
pieces of C. villosum were in flower,
one carrying twenty-five flowers.

Two sons of M. A. Patten assist in
the business and are equally as enthu-
siastic oarnationists. Flowers from this
pstablishment are handled by Thomas F.
Galvin, in Boston,

Albert Roper, Tewksbtiry.
A short walk from Patten & Co.'s

M. A. Patten,

brings us to A. Roper's, a plant of con-
siderable size. Here the well known and
popular Fair Maid carnation originated.
As grown by Mr. Roper it is remarkably
proUfic, with flowers of fine quality.
Two benches, which produced so well
late into the fall that it seemed too bad
to throw them out, were kept over and
are still covered with fine flowers. Half
of one of the large houses is planted
with Chester Roper, a variegated seed-
ling from the same seed pod as Fair
Maid (Lawson x Mayor Quincy) and
now in its seventh year. TTie flower is
not what can be classed as a fancy, be-
ing only of medium size. It is carried
on a stiff stem and for productiveness
we question if any carnation in America
can equal it today. To say that the
plants were smothered in bloom expresses
it mildly. TTiis variety has not hitherto
been introduced, as Mr. Roper said it
paid him so well to keep it in his own
hands.

Flamingo will not be grown again as
a scarlet. Mr. Roper has some promising
scarlet seedlings he hopes to get an ideal
commercial scarlet from. A good many
seedlings are under trial, some of con-
siderable merit. Mr. Roper has several
from which he expects to make exhibits
at the Boston carnation convention in
1906. With the exception of some En-
chantress and Flamingo, practically
everything grown here originated on the
place. Mr. Roper sells his flowers at the
new market in Boston.

L. E. Small, Tewksbury.
Another Tewksbury grower who is
coming to the front and who, during the
past four year, has built up a nice,
compact establishment, is L. E. Small.
Carnations are the principal crop here.
Lawson does well as a dark pink and
will not yet be discarded. Fair Maid
is equally good as a light pink. Manley
is grown for a scarlet and several bench-
es are devoted to a white seedling which
has attracted favorable notice at Horti-

cultural Hall and the public markets-
during the past two seasons. The flowers-
are of fine form, never show a trace of
color and are carried on very stiff stems.
Quite a batch of Variegated Lawson -
was noticed. It is counted a great pro-
ducer and will be more largely planted
next season. Some long benches of
Campbell and Princess of Wales violets
were a mass of bloom and looked par- ,
ticularly well. Mr. Small's flowers are
sold at the new market, Boston.

MAKING STEAM.

Along the Great Lakes many growers
find it their best plan to pick up fire- ,
men from among those who are released
from their regular employment by the
closing of navigation. The man wbo
stokes a marine boiler through the hot
days of summer is likely to have the
art of making steam down to an exact
science. He doesn't shovel any more
coal than is necessary and he knows how
to hold the steam gauge at the same
point for hours at a stretch. And not
infrequently such a one has time in the
night watch to read the Review. Here
is a letter from one of them, dated in
a Wisconsin town:

"I cannot see what is the matter with
all your firemen. Now I will tell you
what I have here and what I do, and
any good fireman should do. I am fir-
ing a thirty horse-power boiler oontain-
ing thirty-four 2% -inch flues ten feet
six inches long. The stack is eighteen
inches in diameter and thirty feet high.
It is a poor boiler and the brickwork is
leaky. There is only an 8-inch wall and
brick on top of the boiler to keep the
heat in. It feeds cold water and it is
all returned from the houses. According
to the weather I carry from five to thir-
ty pounds of steam and we burn from
1,000 to 2,600 pounds of coal in twenty-
four hours. I fire nights. We heat

about 11,000 feet of glass and have
steam to spare. We could heat another
house 100 feet long with two benches.
We burn lump coal and my fire lasts
from half an hour to three hours, ac-
cording to the weather, and I have seen
^ it 35 degrees below zero. I cleati my
flues from one to six times a night and
I should not care if the stack wefe
eight feet shorter; I could still have
steam to spare and burn any kind of
coal or clean stock.

' ' On page 705, of the ■ Review fpr
February 16, that boiler setting is all
right except that the space behind the
bridge wall wants to be deeper. Keep
the flues cleaned oftener than once in
twenty-four hours. I am only a marine
fireman off the lakes but I have been fir-
ing twenty-five years." L. A. U.

MASSACHUSETTS GARDENERS.

Bayard Thayer, South Lancaster.

William Anderson has a beautifully
grown lot of whit6 cyclamens at Bayard
Thayer's. The varieties are Sutton's
Giant and White Butterfly. Lorraine
begonias are also good. In the carlia-
tion houf-e f^nchantress was easily in tbiB'
lead. Wolcott was flowering heavily, birt
a large proportion were coming split.

bury bells in 12-inch pots are used for
piazza decoration. None of the four
fruit divisions had yet been started.

E. V. R. Thayer, South Lancaster.

Seedling orchids are always a prime
attraction at E. O. Orpet's, on the E. V.
R. Thayer estate. All his plants of seed-
ling cattleyas, Iselio-cattleyas and other
bi-generic crosses were in fine health. Of
Cattleya Thayeriana, quantities of
sheaths were pushing. Some of these
plants are now in tubs, which they will
soon outgrow. A pretty and ' distinct
cross just open was C. intermedia x C.
Trianff, a fine, bold and pleasing flower.
C. labiata x L. cinnabarina was good.
Lselio-cattleyas C. G. Roebling and
Bletchleyensis were in flower. A good
cross is L. Perrini x L. cinnabarina. At
present Mr. Orpet is ■\lrorking mostly on
Rophronitis crosses, from which he ex-
pects interesting results later.

Odontoglossums are better grown here
than clsCTvhcre in America. A span house
contained a grand lot of them, hundreds
of plants all in the best of health. On
O. crispuni we noted three spikes coming
from a single bulb. Plants now in 6-inch
or 8-inch pots and pans will soon need a
shift to larger receptacles. These plants
are grown warmer than used to be con-
sidei-ed }*dvisable, with all possible sun

L. K. Peacock.

Lawson will be dropped after this season,
fts will Flamingo. In the large rose house
Brides, Maids and Beauties are mostly
grown. A few Killarney are being tried
and Mr. Anderson sees good possibilities
in it. In the orchid house there was a
fine show of Cattleya Triana>. A number
of the specimens are big ones. Quite a
few carried five flowers to the sheath.
Sehizanthus is being tried here. Canter-

in winter. This gives the leaves a ruddy
hue and makes them tougher and better
adapted to standing our hot summers. A
batch of seventy-five miltonias somewhat
similarly grown were very vigorous. A
fine set of yellow forms of Cypripedium
insigne were flowering, including such
varieties as Sandera?, Ijaura Kimball,
Dorotiiy, Krnestii, Statterianum, Joungia-
mim superbum. Brightness, Bailie and sev-

eral others. Orchids here are all grown *!
in pure osmunda fibre, no leaf -mold being
used. We noted a batch of Odontoglos-
sum crispum received from Sander &
Sone, These were potted in compost of
three-fourths English bracken roots and
one-fourth English peat over it, but they .
were not at home in it.

A splendid lot of amaryllis, mostly
seedlings, were in flower. Sehizanthus in
several varieties is grown in quantity.
The earliest were just coming into flower.
Stock Beauty of Nice, of a delicate
shrimp pink color, has the earmarks of a
popular commercial variety. A house of
roses looked very well. A small lot of
Killarney is being tried. Campbell still
dees well as a double violet. Hydro-
cyanic acid gas is the popular fumigant
with Mr. Orpet just now. The only plants
he has hurt with it are some antirrhi-
nums. He finds it especially good for
cleaning out mealy bug from dormant
graperies. W. N. Craig.

PHILADELPHIA*

The Market

Despite two holidays this week, the
market continues in fair shape. There
has been a good deal of shipping. Palm
Beach, Fla., conting in for quite a nice
lot of stuff. The local demand has. also
been good, with little change in prices,
except in gardenias, which have fallen
from $1 to 12*4 cents in seven weeks,
and now it is rumored that one large
concern is likely to cut even this price.
A noteworthy feature in the carnation
market is an improvement in the demand
for ordinary grades. Whites continue
to sell better than colored varieties, ex-
cept the fancies.

The New Dahlia Co.

As announced in the Review exclusive-
ly a few weeks ago, L. K. Peacock has
completed the incorporation of his new.
dahlia company. The following details
are now for the first time given out:
The business was founded by L. K. Pea-
cock in 1885, was purchased by W. P.
Peacock in 1892; one half interest was
purchased by L. K. Peacock in 1893
and the business continued under the firm
name of W. P. Peacock. L. K. Peacock
purchased the interest of W. P. Peacock
in August, 1904, and the firm name was
changed to L. K. Peacock and incorpo-
rated as above December 14, 1904. The
authorized capital is $50,000. The offi-
cers are: L. K. Peacock president, W,
P. Peacock vice-president, A. M. Peacock
treasurer, G. E. Cain secretary; direct-
ors, L. K. Peacock, Atco, N. J.; W. P.
Peacock, Atco, N. J. ; Thomas B. Hall,
Camden, N. J.; Samuel S. Pennock, Phil-
adelphia; Adam Schlorer, Berlin, N. J.
The many lovers of dahlias will wish
Mr. Peacock all success in his broader
venture.

Acacia Pubescens.

This beautiful flower is the novelty of
the present market. The Leo Niessen Co.
has been fortunate in securing the en-
tire stock which is grown by W. & Harry
F. Evans, of Rowlandville. They have
three large specimens, probably seven feet
high and fully twice as broad. They are
literally covered with the fine yellow
blooms, exquisitely graceful and contrast-
ing harmoniously with the delicate green
foliage. These acacias are planted out
in the ground and as the growers were

iifraid of injuring them by moving, it
became necessary to rebuild the green-

secure more head room,

A Trip to Bermuda.

J. D. Eisele, the popular vice-president
of the H. A. Dreer Co., and Mrs. Eisele
have lately returned from a short trip
to Bermuda. Mr. Eisele enjoyed the
trip immensely. He spoke with admira-
tion of the even temperature, varying
scarcely more than a dozen degrees dur-
ing the eighteen days of his sojourn. The
farming appeared to be done on a rather
small scale, it being somewhat difficult to
realize that the detached fields, never
over an acre in size, could produce the
respectable aggregate given out in on-
ions and in potatoes. The cultivated fields
lie in the hollows between the rocks,
where the soil attains a depth of from
sixteen to eighteen inches, while above
it is scarcely two inches deep, sufficient
only for the hardy native growth.
Oranges, once a prominent feature on the
island, have been abandoned, owing to
the attacks, of scale, yet curiously enough
the oleanders planted there for wind-
breaks appeared entirely free from scale,
while here they are very subject to them.
Acalypha marginata is used as a hedge.
Some fine specimens of ficus, crotons and
pandanus are seen, while the leaves of
Oycas revoluta, which attain a great size,
are shipped to the New York market.
While driving one day Mr. Eisele saw a
great rock completely covered with Bou-
gainvUlea glabra, its purplish crimson
flowers making a display whose gorgeous-
ness he had never seen equaled anywhere.
The native driver, however, assured him
that when in bloom the poinciana was
even more superb.

Various Notes.

F. & H. Mergenthaler are planning
an addition of twelve short-span houses
in one range at their place in East
Washinjjton Lane, Germantown, to be de-
voted to carnations. It is said that they
are also considering the feasibility of
securing an even better location for their
retail store.

John F. Andre, of Doylestown, is plan-
ning a new house about 20x200 to be de-
voted to Liberties.

W. F. Powell delivered an illustrated
lecture on "Farming in the City and
School Gardens" before the Philadelphia

Horticultural Society on Tuesday after-
noon.

Thomas Meehan & Sons are sending
some nice snapdragons to the Flower
Market.

Edward Beid was the first to introduce
the system of ticketing each consigiior's
flowers into the commission business in
this city. He has steadily followed this
plan and also that of weekly statements.
Mr. Eeid realizes that good stuflf costs
more to produce than poor, or, as he
aptly puts it, "labor is cheap and brains
come high," so he does all in his power
to socure best returns for choice stock.

Albert \Voltemate is sending nice free-
sia to the Flower Market.

S. S. Pennock had some heavy orders
for Palm Beach on Monday.

Harry Crawford isi sending in some
nice carnations, including Queen Louise,
from the greenhouse at Secane.

Queen Jjouise and .Toost, to S. S. Pen-
nock.

Mrs. Sarah I. Smith, of Secane, is
sending some special bunches of single
violets to the Flower Market, which are
unexcelled for quality and size.

A telegraphic order from the south
reached the Cut Flower Co. at 10:52 p.
m. the other day. The stock was in the
11:05 p. m. train, just thirteen minutes
later. Mr. Muth says it is their record.

It has been decided by the committee
having the matter in charge that the
next meeting of the Florists' Club of
Philadelphia, to be held Tuesday, March
7, will be rose night. The members of
the Florists' Club are anxious to see all
the novelties among roses that are likely
to become popular. All those having
such are invited to bring them to this
meeting, or if it will be impossible to
do so, kindly forward same by express
prepaid in care of David Rust, Horticul-

ST. LOUIS.

The Market

Activity in the cut flower trade was
curtailed somewhat by the cold and
stormy weather prior to February 18,
still a fair business was reported. On
February 14 exceptionally good trade
was done, especially in violets for val-
entines. Shipping trade is also active
and some orders for fancy stock had
to be turned down owing to scarcity.
A number of social events the past week
kept some of the west end stores quite
busy. Funeral work was pretty well dis-
tributed among the trade, everybody
having some of this to do, which made
white flowers in big demand.

In colored roses the market is fairly
well supplied, but white roses were
very scarce. There were more red roses
than the demand called for. American
Beauties have had a good call, but there
were enough for all. Carnations are all
of good quality and plenty, except in
white. These sold clean every day. In
the colored sorts quite a few were left
over each day.

Bulbous stock, such as Eomans, Paper
Whites, freesias, Dutch hyacinths, lily
of the valley and Von Sions are in abun-
dance. Harrisii and callas are not over-
plentiful at present, as the demand is
good. Tulips are also selling well but
only the light colors. White sweet peas
are fine, with long stems. AU greens
are in demand at their usual price.

Various Notes.

Mr. and Mrs. Fred" C. Weber, their
daughter and Theo. Miller will make a
European trip this summer, leaving here
June 1. They will return in time to
attend the S. A. F. convention at Wash-
ington in August.

Mrs. Frank M. Ellis left Sunday morn-
ing for Milwaukee with a party of lady
bowlers to take part in the games there
this week in the National Bowling Con-
gress. Mrs. Ellis has hopes of brmging
back one of the many prizes offered to
lady bowlers. Arthur Ellison is on one
of the strongest teams which represent
St. Louis at Milwaukee this week.

Frank M. Ellis is handling extra fine
California violets by the tens of thou-
sands. These are cleaned out fairly well
each day.

Charles Kuehn is receiving an extra
fine supply of Dutch hyacinths and La
Beine tulips, which have a big demaml.

Mrs. M. M. Ayers has been very busy
the past week with all kinds of floral
work and decorations. No wonder
Charlie is sporting a new gold watch.

George Waldbart is making an extra
fine display of blooming plants, also
fancy cut carnations. Whenever we
call, Mr. Waldbart is always busy.

The Riessen Floral Co. had an extra
busy week with funeral work. Mr.
Buechel, the manager, is still confined
to his room, nursing his broken limb.
He expects to be back to work by March
15.

Fred Foster has renovated his store
the past week. The improvement gives
him more room, of which he was very
much in need.

John Burke, at Grand and Finney
avenues, reports a good trade in fruit
and cut flowers.

J. F. Winut, on Bayard avenue, is
making a great display of fancy cut
stock and blooming plants in his attrac-
tive conservatory.

John G. Knoll, in South St. Louis,

was doing jury duty the past week. He
surprised the jury, judge and the attor-
neys by decorating everybody in the court
room, including the defendant, with a
carnation. The daily press made quite
a story of it.

George M. Kessler, the landscape ar-
tist, proposed to the city council a gir-
dle of parks from Carondelet to the
Chain of Bocks. Mr. Kessler also de-
clared that St. Louis appropriated far
too little money for its parks.

George Windier, on Delore avenue, is
making preparations for an extra fine
lot of blooming plants for Easter sales.
He put in his first appearance at the
Florists' Club meeting since his marriage
and his many friends in the trade were
delighted to meet him.

A number of very important ques-
tions on roses are already in to be an-
swered at the next Florists' Club meet-
ing, which will be March 9. A big dis-
play of cut roses will be on exhibition,
also new varieties. Fifty dollars in
prizes are being offered. A very in-
teresting and instructive meeting for
both grower and retailer is lookea for.

Fred C. Weber, Theo. Miller and E.
W. Guy, trustees of the Florists' Club,
and Otto Koenig met on Saturday at
Ellis' place. A full report of this meet-
ing wUl be read at the club meetine.
This will be of interest to all the mem-
bers.

Fred Meinhardt left for Fort Wayne,
Ind., on Sunday to attend the funeral of
Mr. Vesey's brother.

CORRUGATED GLASS.

In answer to S. C. T., in last week's
issue of the Review, in which he asks
as to the practical benefit derived from
corrugated glass, I will state that I
had one year's experience with that
variety of glass and want no more. I
had one house under my care, 18x50, in
which I planted carnations and was so
thoroughly disgusted with my experi-
ment that I threw them out and filled
mv benches with begonias and ferns,
which did first rate. In my endeavors
to see what would grow thriftily there
I tried a great many varieties of plants
and found it a failure with the ex-
ception of the two named above.

A STRONGER ASPARAGUS.

In my large house of Asparagus plu-
mosus nanus I have one plant entirely
different from all others, the growth be-
ing verv robust and the plant branch-
ing, and each branch making regular
fronds or plumes, the branches being
three and four feet in length. My plant
has been out about eight months and has
filled four strings fourteen feet in length
and extends on the roof several feet,
foliage rich dark green. Could this be
the so-called robustust The original
seed came from Henry A. Dreer, of
Philadelphia. E. B. Meserve.

BOSTON.

The Market.

Conditions showed a distinct improve-
ment the past week, on one or two days
hardly a flower remaining unsold. The
weather has continued very cold, but for-
tunately snow has kept away. Boses
have been in quite brisk demand, the
best grades fetching higher prices.
Some select Beauties have made up to
$65. There has been a scarcity of
Brides, the very finest making $25. The
popular priced stock at $10 to $12 has
cleared out quickly, there being a heavy
demand for funeral work. Bridesmaids
have held previous quotations. Carna-
tions are very little changed in price,
continuing to sell well.

Violets have made 30 to 50 cents, ex-
cept for extra select stock, which went
at 75 cents. Daffodils have been the
greatest surprise in the market. Prices
on these have advanced to $3, with no
surplus. These flowers seem to catch the
popular fancy this season. Other years
they have been rather a drug. Lilies,
callas, valley and other flowers, as well
as green goods, remain about the same.

Various Notes.

Dr. George T. Moore, of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture, Washington, deliv-
ered an exhaustive and most instructive
lecture on "Bacteria as Fertilizers" be-
fore the Massachusetts Horticultural So-
ciety on February 18. He had a large
audience^ which seemed to take a keen
interest in his talk, and in the views on
the screen which illustrated the differ-
ence between inoculated and uninocu-
lated crops, which showed clearly the
value of these beneficial bacteria under
certain conditions.

The Gardeners' and Florists' Club
meeting on February 21 was once more
a very successful one. The lecture by
W. W. Rawson on the increased output
of vegetables under glass during the
past twenty-five years and the large ad-
ditional productiveness of the houses was
very interesting. A more extended re-
port must wait for our next issue.

We inadvertently omitted mention of
A. Boper's fine vase of Chester Roper
carnation in our last issue. At the same
exhibition Backer & Co. showed a vase
of a fine seedling yellow variety.

Quite a number of the craft have vis-
ited Fairhaven this week to see the an-
nual exhibition in the Winsor green-
houses, where Peter Murray has charge.
All where delighted with what they saw.

Prospects are good for the approach-
ing show of the American Rose Society,
which opens on March 22. The Garden-
ers' and Florists' Club will entertain
visiting members at a banquet at the
Copley Square Hotel.

James Farquhar, who has been in
Porto Rico for some time, hopes to re-
turn to Boston early in April. He hopes
to return there each winter for a few
months. He has planted a large quanti-
ty of bulbous stock on land secured
there, including the Lilium Philippin-
ense they are introducing next fall, and
all are doing finely.

The meml^rs of the Seed Trade Bowl-
ing League, which comprises the firms
of Schlegel & Fottler, Farquhar & Co.,
Joseph Breck & Son and W. W. Raw-
son & Co., held their annual banquet on
February 21 under the presidency of Wil-
liam E. Cahill. It was an enjoyable and
highly successful affair. President Ca-
hill was the subject of a highly compli-
mentary illustrated sketch in the last
issue of the Boston Sunday American.

Penn Bros, appeared with a very hand-
some new delivery wagon on February
18, with uniformed driver, which at-
tracted favorable notice,

Carbone, on Boylston street, is showing
some fine Phaius grandifolius and some
excellent Azalea mollis.

McMulkin had a very effective yellow
window the past week, using genistas,
acacias, tulips, narcissi, English prim-
roses, carnations and roses.

Morse & Gomperts have opened a new
store on Tremont street in close proxim-
ity to Keith's new theatre.

Galvin had the decorations for the
ball given by Mrs. H. P. Quincy for her
debutante daughter at the Somerset
Hotel on February 17. The prettiest ef- I

feet was in the supper room, where each
of the forty tables had a basket of flow-
ers, no two of which were alike.

Narcissi which are chiefly grown for
our market are Trumpet MAjor, Von
Sion (double), Henry Irving, Golden
Spur, princeps and poeticus ornatus.
Princeps does not take so well as the
other sorts. Emperor, Horsfieldii and
other sorts are not in evidence yet.

J. A. Pettigrew has been quite seri-
ously sick, but we are glad to report is
now much improved. W. N. Craig.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

A few days of bright and moderate
weather have produced a very appreciable
effect in greenhouse crops. There are
many more roses than the market has
seen in weeks and prices have taken a
drop, although strictly fancy stock is
still bringing good figures. Beauties
are the one item of which it can be said
that there is not an ample supply, as
crops are now pretty well off. Bride
is a little less plentiful than Brides-
maid but there is enough good stock of
each so that low grades have lost half
their value. The receipts of carnations
have iucreased materiaUy and very fine
stock is now selling at moderate prices,
with a considerable quantity of pink
hanging fire and selling at cheap rates
in job lots. The Greek venders are now
retailing carnations at 15 cents per
dozen. The scarcity of Harrisii is a
thing of the past, for receipts are now
large, but the quality is not up to the
standard. There are plenty of fine cal-
las. The receipts of La Reine tulips
are heavy and prices low considering
the high quality of stock. Good red
and yeUow tulips sell fairly well.
Paper Whites are again in heavy sup-
ply and immovable. There are large
quantities of bulbous stock in pans of-
fered for the retailers and most of them
make this class of material a feature
of their window decorations. Violets
are not coming in as heavily as a few
days ago, but are more than equal to
all requirements. Some fancy mignon-

ette is oflfered. There are green goods
for all requirements, smilax being of
particularly good quality. Common ferns
are advancing in price.

Trade was fair at the end of last
week and Monday saw a better demand,
although the increase was not so great
as the increase in receipts, but Tuesday
was dull and the accumulation will be
hard to work off as long as fine, warm
weather holds; several days of it will
mean a glut.

Jensen Enters Business.

J. E. Jensen, formerly grower for the
J. D. Thompson Carnation Co., and J.
S. Dekema on February 17 bought the
establishment of Matson & Kron, 631
West Foster avenue. The plant consists
of six houses, about 48,000 feet of glass,
built less than two years ago and thor-
oughly modem in every respect. The
place is planted with up-to-date varieties
of carnations and the new owners, who
will do business as Jensen & Dekema,
will make a sj>ecialty of carnation cut-
tings and fancy blooms. The plant has
been in charge of Mr. Dekema as grow-
er. He, like Mr. Jensen, is a grad-
uate of Peter Fisher's school of carna-
tion culture and was with Mr. Jensen
at Thompson's for a short time. The
former proprietors were among those
who entered the field a couple of years
ago under the impression that cut flower
growing was a quick road to wealth.
They have found that the receipt of the
commission man's check is not exactly
like getting money from home, but have
made a splendid opportunity for two
young men brought up in the business.

Since leaving the Thompson place Mr.
Jensen has made a western trip, visit-
ing Denver, Salt Lake City, Ogden, San
Francisco, Seattle, Spokane and St.
Paul. At each place he visited the lead-
ing growers. He says that there is good
stock everywhere but that Chicago has
transportation facilities which make it
the only place for a wholesale business.

Market for Bulbous Stock.

IjBst season it was very certain that
the market for bulbous stock was un-
profitable but better things were hoped
for this spring because of the retire-
ment of Frank Garland, the largest
grower, from this field of activity. Very
fine tul\ps are now coming in but the
price is little if any better than last
year; probably the only change in con-
ditions is that last year there was a
bad glut and tftis year the adjective may

be omitted. Yet the visiting Dutchmen
report business good; or are they only
whistling to keep up their courage?

A Gintraction of Credit

Those recent bankruptcy proceedings,
the Lutey case in Michigan and the
Klingbiel case in Iowa, coupled with
the unexpected Winandy matter, although
the latter did not affect the wholesalers,
has had the effect of causing a contrac-
tion of credits. Losses through busi-
ness failures have been so few in re-
cent years that credits were easy, but
it's different now and even those who
are somewhat new to the experience are
bei^g asked to pay up.

Iron Gutters in Favor.

George M. Garland reports orders for
iron gutter to date aggregating 14,000
feet, of which 6,000 feet is for one
order to replace wooden gutter only five
years old. This is the Peter Reinberg
job, Mr. Beinberg figuring that the space
gained by the use of the iron gutter
will quickly pay for the cost of re-
building. Mr. Garland says inquiries in
hand indicate that this will be his best
season to date.

Various Notes.

Wednesday, Washington 's 'birthday,
was a legal holiday, but as the postoflBce
neglected to send out an announcement,
it was generally overlooked until the one
mail delivery of the day arrived. A
good many orders failed of delivery
until the next day.

Z. Wolniewicz, on School street, has
been troubled by boys breaking his
greenhouse glass. Hearing the glass
crash one day this week he seized his
gun and fired at the fieeing miscreants,
with the result that it took the doctor
an hour to pick the bird shot out of
one of them.

Emil Buettner has not yet determined
what he will do in regard to rebuild-
ing this season. He will tear down
from five to niAe old houses and will
put up eight new and larger ones.

On February 15 E. C. Amling ob-
tained judgment for $124.50 against T.
D. Mosconesotes.

N. J. and Henry Wietor are active
in the management of the approaching
bazaar of the new St. Henry's church
at High Ridge, to which Henry Wietor
donated $7,000 for the building fund.

E. F. Winterson Co. is getting in some
Lilium speciosnm rubrum which sell well,
a leading retailer using them in some

fine work the other day when he could
not get orchids.

Ernest Weber will drop roses next
year and plant his whole place to car-
nations, having already bought the nec-
essary cuttings of George Reinberg.

George Muno is proud of a baby boy
who arrived February 6.

A. L. Randall Co. reports a big out
of town call for fancy mignonette, sev-
eral recent orders calling for from 100
to 200 spikes.

J. A. Budlong is still cutting heavily
of Brides and Maids. He has had a
very successful season.

E. H. Hunt reports eastern violets
coming in in extra good shape. Their
supply department is again quite active.

J. A. Evans, of Richmond, was in
town last week and among other or-
ders he took was that of Bassett &
Washburn for thirty ventilating ma-
chines for their new range.

The Garfield Park Floral Co., which
is the principal local source of supply
for flowering plants for Christmas and
Easter, will enlarge its facilities this
season by erecting several greenhouses.

The Butler Floral Co., in the Old
Colony building, is opening a branch
store in the First National Bank build-
ing, a very good location.

At the Florists' Club meeting tonight
E. G. Routzahn is to deliver an address
"How to Make Chicago Beautiful,"
with special reference to the florists'
interests. He speaks for the Bureau of
Civic Co-operation and will illustrate his
remarks with the stereopticon. The
committee has invited the club members
to bring friends and ladies.

NEV YORK.

The Market

The market demonstrates a livelier
condition since Saturday and, while
prices remain on the low level of the
past week, the activity and increased
demand leave little stock unsold. The
milder weather also has helped to change
the conditions, creating the usual street
outlet for the surplus and establishing
normal supply and demand. The intense
cold remained with us until Saturday.
Business that day was very satisfactory.
Monday a rising temperature and snow,
turning to rain in the evening, brought
a continuance of Saturday's improve-
ment. The tide has turned.

Carnations and violets do not appre-
ciate in value, for the supply of each is

McManus is handling Crisis, the fine

Fenrich is receiving an average of
1,000 bunches of sweet peas daily, of
splendid quality. Mr. Fenrich has just
recovered from a severe attack of

grippe. Mr. Hurrell, of Summit, is the
latest battler with the disease. Few of
the wholesalers have escaped.

John Scott has finished serving his
country as a juryman and is again de-
voting his energies to the interests of
Scottii to meet the demand for which,
new houses are to be constructed this
spring.

Young & Nugent are handling large
quantities of gardenias, samples of which
were seen at the last club meeting.

N. Lecakes has started for an impor-
tant visit to Greece, to be absent until
the first of May. John A. Foley will
have entire charge of his business inter-
ests until his return.

Herman Maenner, of Bayside, had an

encounter with a trolley car last week
that laid him on the shelf a few days.

The busy season down town and
among the seedhouses is already in
evidence. The early demand through
catalogues is unprecedented. H. H. Ber-
ger & Co. announce a rapidly increasing
trade since the incorporation of their
business, the outlook exceeding any-
thing at this date in their history. B.
Suzuki is back from Japan, with inter-
esting stories of the war. Boddington
in the east and Bunyard in the west are
meeting with great success, their seed
business especially booming "far beyond
expectations," as Mr. Begbie expresses
it.

A. L. Miller, of Brooklyn, is having
two houses 16x100 buUt this spring by
Lord & Burnham Co. at his Jamaica
place, where he has also thirteen acres
devoted to the nursery business. His
importations of European stock this sea-

a large stock of his new dahlia, Kaiserin
Augusta Victoria, for which a demand is
already in evidence.

W. C. Krick, the inventor and manu-
facturer, is now well established in his

I have two houses forty feet long, at-

ridges seven feet high and board side
walls four feet high. One house is ten
and" one-half feet wide, the other twelve
and one-half feet. Along the end is a
shed 10x30 feet •v^Jiich continues into
another greenhouse 10x30, eight feet to
ridge and side walls eight feet high.
I want to heat with 2-inch flows under
the ridges and 1^-inch returns. How
many pipes will it take with the weather
conditions of New Jersey? G. W. H.

The two attached houses, if heated bv
hot water at 180 degrees, with a 2-inch
flow pipe under each ridge will require
twenty 134-iQch pipes arranged in coils
under the benches of the houses. If
steam at flve pounds pressure is used
and a 2-inch riser placed under each
ridge, fifteen 1^4 -inch pipes will be
necessary under the benches. The side
house 10x30 will require a 2-inch riser
and eleven 114-inch returns if water is
used and a 2-inch riser and nine returns
if steam is used. L. C. C.

PIPING AND BOILER.

I have a greenhouse 16x32 feet, ten
feet to the ridge, side walls and gables
wood. I should like to heat this with
a Wilks hot water boiler 20x30 and re-
quire 60 degrees in zero weather. The
boiler has openings for 2-inch pipes.
How many flows and how many returns
will it take? Will this boiler be large
enough for two such houses? It is
rated at 250 to 300 feet of radiation.

J. K.

Each of the houses 16x32 feet should
have ten runs of 2-inch pipes, i. e., 320
feet of 2-inch pipe, properly arranged
to provide heat during severe weather.
If the piping is to be placed on the side
walls or under the side benches it would
be a good plan to run a 2-inch riser or
flow pipe from the boiler to the far
end of the house under each side bench
and there divide it to return in four
2-inch returns. This will provide a coil
of five pipes under each of the side
benches, or ten .pipes in all. Two houses
this size will require a boiler capable
of providing heat for 450 to 500 feet
of radiation. A boiler with 250 to 300
feet would be sufficient for one of the
houses and during mild weather should
carry both. L. C. C.

NUBSERY NEWS,

AMERICAN ASSOCUTION OF NURSERYMEN.

Pres., B. W. Klrkpatrlck, McKlnney, Tex.;
Vice-Pres., C. L. Watrous, Des Moines; Sec'y,
Geo. C. Seagrer, Rochester; Treas., C. L. Yates,
Rochester. The 29th annual convention will be
held at West Baden, Ind., June, 1906.

Western nurserymen think prospects
brighter than usual for this season.

In the year 1904 the United States
exported apples to the value of $6,-
712,557.

The business of shipping forest seed-
lings has grown to be a large one in sev-
eral sections of the south and west.

The envelope bringing the catalogue
of the Wra. H. Moon Co., Morrisvills,
Pa., advises that the contents is the
"Horticultural Art Book."

It develops that there are more plants
of Crimson Eambler rose than were
thought to be available by those who
hopsd for a stiffening in prices.

There will be no shortage in the ordi-
nary varieties of peony next season, and
some which are thought pretty good sorts
here are to be had at low prices in
France.

In Georfiria fumisration with hydro-
cyanic acid gas is now required, whether
the stock is home grown or imported
with the certificate of a state which does
not require fumigation.

It does not look as though there coTiId
be any shortage in peachtrees this sea-
son, although there are reports of some
very large planting operations by orch-
ardists. Elberta still has a big lead in
popularity.

J. H. Hale says that because of its
earliness, combined with other good quali-
ties, "Hiley has been the best money-
making peach he has grown. He has
taken thousands of trees of other varieties
and budded them over to Hiley.

Nurserymen who have built storage
houses above ground have found that one
air space generally necessitated artificial
heat to keep the frost out, while two or
three air spaces, with the same thickness
of wall, proved impervious to frost.

Wm. a. Peterson returned to Chi-
cago February 17 after two months
spent in California, where he left his
family. He was recalled by a con-
demnation suit of the Drainage Board,
set for hearing this week. The canal
people want a strip 300 feet wide
through the nursery.

California privet is in large supply all
over the country, but is also in large de-
mand.

George Thomas, nurseryman, Sheffield,
lU., will sell out and remove to the State
of Washington.

Commenting on the opinion expressed
at the National Council of Horticulture,
at St. Louis last November, that wise
publicity would be of great value to the
interests there represented, it is worthy
of note that the same idea has maintained
for several years in the American Asso-
ciation of Nurserymen. A few years apo
a standing committee on publicity was
authorized, but it has never accomplished
anything of value to the trade. The pres-
ent chairman is Ralph T. Olcott, of Roch-
ester.

THE SCHIZOPHRAGMA.

I was much interested in the illustra-
tion and note, in the issue of February
9, on Schizophragma hydrangeoides
growing at the A. W. Blake estate at
Brookline, Mass. I well remember plant-
ing this specimen, as referred to, at the
base of an oak tree in the spring of
1893, the plant then being two years
old and very small. During my stay
on the place I watched that plant and
coaxed it to grow but it never would
make a good start. Credit is due Mr.
Wild for the thoughtfulness to remove
it to a location at the foot of the wal-
nut, where conditions better suited its
needs, and I am glad to see it in such a
flourishing conuition. It is quite rare
in the eastern states. It will be noted
that the plant is not so old as Mr. Wild
tliought. Samuel J. Trepess.

hard to understand, for they are exactly
what is neded to cheer up the great
northwest. They are among the hardiest
things we have, and there is hardly one
in the large collection but what will
thrive in Manitoba. The time of flower-
ing reaches from early spring till about
the first of July, and the variety of foli-
age is something wonderful, varying from
the large corrugated leaves of Bret-
schneideri to the delicate foliage of Pe-
kinensis and the feathery leaves of the
cut-leaved Persian. "We have secured a
photo^aph of half a dozen kinds to show
the rich variety. In color the blossoms
range from snowy white to purple, and
if you have a good collection you will
have continuous bloom till the last of
June. Vulgaris is the kind generally
used in the west, but from my own ex-
perience at the York Experiment Station,
I would recommend all the Persians, the
two Bothomagensis, Bretschneideri, Josi-
ksea, the Emodi, green and variegated;
Villosa, Charles X, pyramidalis, Senator
Volland, Glori d' Croncles, ligustriua, and
the two tree lilacs."

Bidered venture into that field by the
conviction that the future of this de-
partment of the trade would not war-
rant the investment necessary to get rec-
ognition for a new house.

This is fine weather for the onion set
shipper and it pleases the buyer at the
other end.

A BILL providing for the inspection of
the sale of seeds is being actively op-
posed by Canadian . seedsmen.

There is a brisk demand for gladioli
in Holland and all sorts will clear nicely
despite the very good crop last year.

The Globe varieties of onion seed are
thought scarce enough to warrant ad-
vanced prices, judging from late quota-
tions.

The agricultural appropriation bill,
with Its provision for free seed distribu-
tion in 1906, is held up by a dispute
between the House and Senate.

The Dutch bulb growers fear injury
to crops by the partial uncovering of the
fiplds by high winds before the time for
thinning the winter cover had arrived.

Thb total value of seeds imported in
the year 1904 was $3,394,084 accordinff
to figures of the United States Depart
ment of Commerce. In the same period
we exported seeds to the value of $9.
257,085. '^"'

The general magazines are not carry-
ing so much space in seed advertise-
ments as in past seasons. One house
tound, after considerable study of re-
sults, that requests for catalogues cost,
from advertising in the monthlies of
gei>eTal circulation, about 50 cents each,
to which was to be added cost of book
and postage. First orders from names
so obtained averaged about $1.25 each
and only a fraction of the inquiries re-
siitted in orders, evidence that the par-
ties had written at the same time for
<'atalogue8 from several houses, mani-
festly unprofitable all around. This
house now gets its new names principally
by a circular to customers oflFering to
send a packet of sweet peas free in re-
turn for the addresses of ten neighbors
who have gardens. The value of these
names will probably be determined with-
in the next ninety days.

This house is one of long standing.
A. M. Flanagan who established the
house was a traveler for a firm known
as Warner & Warner, and he took into
partnership Messrs. Chubb and Nutting.
Mr. Chubb presently retired and the
firm became known as Flanagan & Nut-

The present partner, W. J. Nutting,
joined his father in 1852, and his broth-
er, H. C. Nutting, a year later. The
business was taken to the Barbican in
1855; it remaining there for twenty-

TORONTO.

The curnation show held under the
auspices of the Toronto Gardeners' and
Florists' Association and the Horticul-
tural Association took place in St.
George's hall oh February 16. Although
the exhibition was not as great a suc-
cess in point of quantity as in former
years, the quality was certainly up to
the mark, if not ahead of other years.
Especially might this be said of the
American stock exhibited, which we re-
luctantly admit quite outclassed our
Canadian product. The exhibit of the
Chicago Carnation Co., which is at pres-
ent defender of the Canadian challenge
cup, was certainly fine. They put up a
vase pf Cardinal, a vase, of Enchant-
ress and a vase of Lady liountiful.
Lady Bountiful, scoring 95 points, cap-
tured the cup and thus the Chicago
Carnation Co. won the cup for the sec-
ond time. Another competitor for the
cup was Palmer & Son, of Lancaster,
N. Y., with Red Lawson. This ship
ment unfortunately arrived frozen and
consequently was not in good condi-
tion to compete. C. W. Ward, of the
Cottage Gardens Co., Exhibited Robert
Craig, a good red which showed up fine
and scored 92 points. J. E. Haines
exhibited by J. E. Haines, of Bethle-
hem, Pa., also red. scored well and
looked promising. E. G. Hill Co., of
Richmond, sent an exhibit of Lady
Bountiful and Cardinal which unfor-
tunately was delayed through a snow
blockade and did not arrive until 6
o'clock, too late for judging. This
stock, however, was scored and Lady
Bountiful scored 9.'5 and Cardinal 97
points. This would have captured the
cup had it arrived in time.

For the best display of carnations
.John H. Dunlop, of this city, won first
and the Chicago Carnation Co. sec-
ond. For display of cut flowers, John
H. Dunlop was first and Wm. Fendley,
Brampton, second. For bank of plants,
Maiiton Bros, were first and J. H. Dun-
lop second. It might be noted that but-
side of carnations the roses exhibited
by Duhlop were of very fine quality,
considering that at present roses afe
practically off crop with all growers,

but weak in stem. A shipment of Car-
nation My Maryland from H. Weber
& Sons, Oakland, Md., did not arrive
until two days after the show. Wm.
Scott, of Buflfalo, was judge and as
usual his awards were according to
merit.

Ontario has during the past week
been visited by very severe weather

and consequently the railroads were in
many cases badly tied up and quanti-
ties of cut flowers are being refused by
the express companies, as they cannot
get them through in time. In this way
shipping trade has been considerably
hampered. City trade has been good
and February has seen considerable im-
firovement over .January business.

assistant gardeners only can compete for
these prizes. The papers must be sent
in before March 3, to the secretary, H.
A. Kettel, Fair Haven, N. J. Several
other subjects will be taken up at sub-
sequent meetings, and prizes given for
same. The judges on these papers are:
H. A. Kettel, N. Butterbach, Wm. Tur-
ner, Geo. H. Hale and W. "W. Kennedy.
Different committees appointed by the
president are: Investigating committee,
Wm. Turner, N. Butterbach, H. A. Ket-
tel; executive committee, C. H. Walling,
T. S. Barkuloo, H. Longstreet, John
Yeomans and P. Hicks; exhibition com-
mittee, H. McCarron, W. W. Kennedy,

KANSAS QTY.

The Market

After six weeks of intense cold and
snow this city is beginning to emerge-
into something like decent weather, but
in spite of the inclemency of the weather,
business has surpassed every other week
.with the exception of Christmas. St.
Valentine's day at some of the stores
was in excess, even, of Christmas. The
supply of good stock is very short; in
fact, of any stock, with the exception

. of bulbous stock, which has been increas-
ing in quantity and quality. Soses have
been very scarce, it being impossible at

• times to get even culls. Carnations have
also boeii very short, the cold, cloudy
weather with the glass covered with
snow, over tliree weeks in some places,
retarding the growth, making it almost
impossible to fill local orders. Violets
have been plentiful except upon St. Val-
entine's day, when the large supply was
soon exhausted at an advance to three
times the regular price.

Some large wedding decorations, with
quite a number of small receptions, are
keeping the stores pretty well cleaned
up. Some fine tulips, daffodils, jonquils
and Dutch hyacinths are to be seen,
while Romans and narcissi are almost
a glut, there being no call for them
except for funeral work. Prices are
steady for what good stock can be ob-
tained and the indications point to very
good business. the coming week.

Various Notes.

Two of the largest weddings since the
opening of the social season here were
held the past week. One, the wedding of
Miss Tjewis, included the decorating
of Grace church and the banquet hall
of the Coates House and was beautifully
arranged by Samuel Murray. '

W. L. Rock had charge of the Currier-
Dunlap wedding and it surpassed any
previous event of that kind seen here
for some time.

A visit to the greenhouses of Sam-
uel Murray, which are in charge of that
prince of good fellows. Wm. Sharp, is
a pleasure long to be remembered.
There are about 15,000 feet of glass.
Tjongiflornnv and Harrisii are the finest I

have seen this year. One house is de-
voted entirely to hydrangeas. There are
two houses full of Boston ferns, Pier-
soni and Adiantum Croweanum, while
the rest of the houses are filling up rap-
idly with some fine bedding stock.

R, S. Brown & Son are sending in
some fine carnations.

Chas. M. Wise is stocking up prepara-
tory to the spring trade and reports
business as improving at his place.

Ed. Ellsworth reports excellent busi-
ness in the wholesale line and the entire
force is kept busy getting out orders.

J. F. Noli, with Arthur Newell, visited
Joplin the past week, inspecting a new
arrival at his home there. It is a four-
teen-pound boy. Narcissus.

MADISON, N. J.

The Morris County Gardeners' and
Florists' Society held its regular meet-
ing on Febniary 8. The event of the
evening was the reading of an essay on
* ' The New Varieties of Chrysanthe-
mums for 1905" by C. H. Totty. The
paper was well received and a hearty
vot« of thanks accorded to Mr. Totty
for his effort. It was supplemented by
A. Herrington with a comparison of the
European varieties and Australian as
grown in America. Methods of seed
sowing in Australia and New Zealand
were explained and a fact stated new to
many of us, that the flower buds in these
places were taken in February instead of
our usual time on account of the dif-
ference in geographical location.

Our next meeting promises to develop
much excitement. F. "W. Holt, of New
York, has donated to the society, a pair
of gum boots to be bowled for. After a
short business session we are to adjourn

of. A committee composed of Messrs.
Herrington, Totty and Duckham are to

PACIFIC COAST.

LooMis, Cal.— On February 11 Mit-
ting & McGowan, the proprietors, sold
the California Carnation Co. to Johnson
& Taylor, of Sacramento, who will con-
tinue the business.

The carnation fields of the Ocean,
Park Floral Co., Ocean Park, Cal., are
located on the site of an old Indian vil-
lage. During a recent visit Wm. A.
Peterson, the Chicago nurseryman, who
is a collector of Indian relics, picked
up in the carnation fields 265 pounds of
stone arrow heads, etc., which he sent
home. Mr. Vawter, the proprietor,
makes all visiting trade people welcome.

BUDDED ROSES.

Sales from the advertisement in the
Review have been very satisfactory. —
W. H. Newman, Akron, N. Y.

Owing to the perfection with which
roses are now being grown on various
kinds of wild stock in California there
is less stock grown from hard wood on its
own roots each succeeding year. The
public is gradually being educated up
to the fact that it is possible to get big,
strong plants one year from bud that
are large enough to set out with imme-
diate effect and they will accept nothing
else. There was a time but a few years
ago when each rose grower had a patch
of roses grown on their own roots, and
a sorry looking sight they were when
compared with what is being offered to-
day in the same varieties. I handled
some stock this week, all of which was
less than one year from bud. Paul
Neyron, Niphetos, Perle des .Tardins,
Bride, Mme. Caroline Testont, Souvenir
du President Camot and Mrs. John
Laing, none less than three feet high
and heavy in proportion. This is the
outcome of what we have learned in the
scientific growing of budded stock. Cer-
tainly these plants were grown under
favorable conditions and represent first
quality. There were not less than fifty
others of the most popular kinds that
ranged in size from two feet and over
and all from less than one year's growth
of bud. The wild stock had been
j)lantPd the year before, so that the

stock and bud together were really two
years old. Even with the extra trouble
of budding the stock, however, they
were far ahead of anything grown on
their own roots for the same length of
time. Not only for garden planting,
but also for greenhouse forcing, are
these roses in great demand, for the
rule holds good for inside as well as
outside, that to have big flowers and
long stems you must have plants in pro-
portion.

It was urged for many years, and
justly so, that roses budded on wild
stock were not desirable because of their
suckering proclivities, but we have
learned that wild stock can be disbud-
ded,— 'that is, all the eyes taken out
before it is planted except, of course,
u couple on top, under which the variety
wanted is inserted. This removed the
greatest objection to budded stock and
when, by further experimenting, we dis-
covered what particular sorts grew es-
pecially well on certain wild stocks the
[)lant8 then filled all requirements.

With some roses, however, it is profit-
able to grow them on their own roots,
because they are easy to root, but with
the majority of the tea roses it is not
jwssible to root more than thirty per
cent of the cuttings planted and of
these usually one-half are too small the
first season to sell for first-class stock.
Many of our best varieties make poor,
weak roots and there is nothing that
will make as poor an impression on a
buyer as to see big tops and poor roots.

With budded stock there is no diflS-
culty in averaging seventy-five per cent
.salable stock from the cuttings planted
of wild stock, afterwards budded, and
good roots can be always guaranteed.
Some of the climbing roses make very
fair plants on their own roots the first
season but there are many of our best
sorts that cannot be rooted at all. We

The Market

AVe are having considerable rainy
weather, which was preceded by several
severe frosts. We had, in fact, the cold-
est weather of the season during the lat-
ter part of last week. Heliotropes, gera-
niums, callas, etc., had been blooming
constantly outdoors all winter but
all oudoor flowers except violets and
bulbous stock are now out of busi-
ness. This makes cheap flowers very
scarce, especially in the line of white
stock, and it will be several months
before we shall have much to choose
from. Roses and carnations are only
in fair supply at present and the
prices hold firm. A few late blooming
narcissi are still in market and daffodils
are plentiful. The supply of violets
shortened somewhat early in the week
but they are now very plentiful again.
Freesia and valley are in good supply.

Yellow acacia is being used in large
quantities for decorating, as it is the
only cheap flower to be had at this time.
Smilax and maidenhair are both very
scarce. A few good longiflorums are
seen. They cost the retailers from $1.50
to $2 per dozen.

Various Notes.

The engagement of Fred Sculberger,
of Oakland, to Miss MacDonald, also of
that city, is announced. The wedding
will take place in the early summer.

Leopold & Ephraim have had a very
busy season. Several big decorations
have added considerable to their mouth's
receipts.

of his time to the florists' supply por-
tion of his business. He carries a large

VEGETABLE PLANTS.

• For the proper care of vegetable
plants two houses are necessary, as there
is so much difference in the temperature
required by the different subjects that
they cannot possibly be all done satis-
factorily in one housei. They can be
divided into two sections. The first
should comprise such subjects as egg
plant, tomatoes and peppers. These
would require a minimum temperature
of not less than 60 degrees. The sec-
ond section, which would comprise let-
tuce, cabbage and cauliflower, would do
better at a minimum temperature of 45
•degrees. The railring of vegetable
plants is often taken up as a side issue
and too often they are crowded up into
any odd corner, which crowding results
in weakly, drawn-up plants that are no
credit to the grower and prove very
unsatisfactory to the purchaser. If a
business is to be established in this line
any odd corner is not good enough to
produce first-class stock; such stock can
only be grown where ample space is
allowed, where sufficient light and air
are given and where judicious care is
taken of the plants.

Another important point is the grad-
ual hardening off of the plants before
time for setting out. For this purpose
cold frames are a great convenience, but
where these are not available they can
be handled by leaving all possible air
on, both night and day, for about eight
days previous to setting outdoors in the
pots or flats in which they are estab-
lished. Some means should be provided
for covering up should the nights be
cold just after setting out, but for a
feyr days, at least, before planting out
they should be fully exposed to the
weather both night and day. Where
care is exercised in this respect the
plants are not liable to feel the change
and little or no check should result.

If the retail grower could dispose of
the majority of his plants within a rea-
sonable time after the planting season
arrives, he would be relieved of a good
deal of trouble. But, unfortunately,
some customers are rather slow in get-
ting down to business. And it is not
only the extra trouble of taking care of
the plants for these late comers that
proves annoying to the grower, but the
plants are apt to suffer, even with the
best of care, if they have to be kept
hanging on for any length of time.
Any of the subjects are apt to become
more or less stunted, but some suffer
more than others. Cauliflower, for in-
stance, if allowed to get stunted is al-
most sure to "button" after being
planted out. A good deal of this
trouble can sometimes be averted by the

BIG PUMPKINS.

One of the clothing merchants in my
town has an annual pumpkin show in
front of his store each fall in which he
offers in goods some $75 in prizes for
the biggest vegetable. No. 7 is as high
up as r can get. Can you give me any
suggestions as to how I can shove a
pumpkin up from notch No. 7 to notch
No. If It makes no difference whether
the article is pumpkin or squash. Neither
does color or shape- count. Such being
the case, what variety shall J plant and
how shall I care for itf I havo a sandy
loam. Will bone flour or horn shavings
or blood be of any help? I shall give
the plant plenty of barn-yard manure.
One market gardener told me the nicest
tomato plants he ever grew were in soil
scraped up from under the floor of a
country slaughter house where blood had
leached through. B.

The largest varieties of pumpkins I
know are Jumbo and Mammoth King.
Pumpkins are about the heaviest feeders
in the vegetable kingdom. I have seen
them grow on top of a manure pile with-
out their showing signs of having too
rich food. Of course the manure was
pretty well rotted. They are what might
be called a soft feeder and, although
bone flour, etc., might help them a little,
I would prefer the softer food in the
shape of barn-yard manure or liquid fer-
tilizer. Prepare your ground by giving
plenty of barn-yard manure, say a couple
of good barrow loads to each plant, but
fix your soil so that the seeds will not
come in contact with the manure, or it
would cause them to rot. Leave only

The Market

Notwithstanding the extraordinary
cold, the past week has been a good one
so far as business has been concerned.
St. Valentine, that good saint who is
credited with bringing hearts together,
had much to do with the first of the
week and brought many dollars to the
pockets of the florists. Next year ho
will be given more consideration than
he has heretofore in the way of special
boxes for the arrangement of floral
valentines.

Various Notes.

Geo. L. Uuscroft, of Steubenville, has
bought eleven acres of land on the main
street, adjoining the cemetery, on which
he expects to move his greenhouse plant
in the near future.

dec. Burke and his assistant, John
Jones, are beginning to get things in
shape, looking forward to the Easter
show at Schenley park, which is one of
the floral features of our city.

T. P. Langhans, who is a follower of
Isaak Walton, entertained about thirty
of his fisher friends last Thursday even-
ing and tte decorations were well worthy
of mention. The parlor was arrangeu
to represent a fishing camp. The floor
was covered with a green rug, the fur-
niture all being removed, the walls and
ceiling covered with wild smilax, scrub
oak with the old leaves, and Norway
spruce. The tent stood at one end of
the room, with the American flag over
it. A campfire in the center of the room,
with oars, nets, rods and lines, and all
paraphernalia of a fisherman, completed
the decorations. As we entered the
room a quartette from the fishing club
were lying around the fire, with only
the light of the fire and a lantern, sing-
iner "You're as welcome as the flowers
in May." After all had enjoyed the
effect of this realistic night scene, the
lights were turned up and tables and
chairs produced, and progressive euchre
and fishing stories filled in the time
until supper, when all were compelled
to pass through the tent singly before
going out to the dining room. I am
not saying what was in the tent, but
sometimes you heard a sissing noise, and
some staid longer than others. The
tables were made of bare white pine
boards and formed three sides of a
square. We ate off tin plates and
drank from tin cups all of the good
things of the season, and after a few
witty stories several made eloquent
speeches: , Hoo-Hoo.

and exceptionally vigorous and will prove satisfactory every month in the year. Delivery
strictly in rotation, beginning April first. PRICES; Own Root — $25 per J 00; $55 per 250;
$J00 per 500; $200 per JOOO. Grafted— $30 per 100; $70 per 250; $ J30per 500; $260 per 1000.

WASHINGTON.

The Market.

The flower business ia this city has
been fairly good in spite of the con-
tinuance of cold weather. Boses of all
kinds are running rather scarce; conse-
quently high prices prevail. Good tea
roses are bringing $15 to $20 per hun-
'dred. Beauties are unusually scarce and
bringing fancy prices, ordinary 18-inch
to 20-inch stems $5 per dozen, long
fltems $9 to $12 per dozen. Azaleas,
lilac and all other blooming plants are
fine but on account of the cold weather
they do not move. Tulips and jonquils
go at $2 to $3 per hundred, violets at
50 cents.

Variotfs Notes.

The regular meeting of the Florists'
Club for February was well attended.
Chairmen of the various convention
committees all reported progress. The
flouvenir book for 1905 is in the hands
of Vice-president J. E. Freeman, who
brought a copy to the meeting for opin-
ion. The club was very much pleased
with the book, as well as the estimates
for printing. A committee was also ap-
pointed to receive and entertain the
•executive committee of the S. A. F. when
it meets here in March. Several other
•committees are resting on oars as they
are powerless to go further with their
work until after the executive committee
meeting. All members are notified that
the annual election of oflScers will take
place at our next meeting.

Peter Bisset, of Twin Oaks, showed his
new rose. This is the result of a cross
between Liberty and Mme. Abel Chate-
nay. The color is intermediate between
the two parents, on first opening the
buds are a very deep pink, much darker
than Bridesmaid, and gradually fade
to the silvery pink of La France at its
best. The originator says it is a free
grower, sending up fine stems with good
large flowers. F. H. K.

Des Moines, Ia. — An explosion of
gasoline 'in the engine room at J. F.
Marshall's on February 13 threatened
the destruction of the establishment but
the greenhouses were saved.

FOR CX)LD CLIMATE.

I am building a new greenhouse 22x40
feet with a glass partition in the cen-
ter. I Bhall use the east half for rosee
and carnations. The two side benches
are three feet wide and the two center
benches are six feet wide. Please tell
me how many pipes I need and how to
arrange them to maintain 65 degrees
in weather occasionally 40 to 45 Iwlow
zero. Which is the best and the cheap-
est on fuel, hot water or steam f Which
is the best kind of boiler to save fuel?
I shall use hard coal. The boiler will
be six to seven feet below the ground
level. P. J. K.

tinder the circumstances I judge that
a hot water system would be preferable
to any other. The house 22x40 feet can
be piped with 2-inch pipe by supplying
CTghteen runs the length of the house.
At least three flow pipes should be
maintained to supply three manifolds
(containing five returns each. The piping
can all be arranged under the benches.
An expansion tank of at least thirty
gallons capacity should be connected
with the main return and located twelve
or fifteen feet above the top of the
boiler. A boiler with a capacity of
about 1,000 feet radiation should be em-
ployed. The type of boiler which is
most economical of fuel is of the return
tubular from or a close approach to
that type. There are several good boil-
ers of this type on the market. L. C. C.

EXPANSION TANK.

I expect to build two houses 18x80
to be heated by water in 4-inch cast-
iron pipes. Can I dispense with the
expansion tanks at the far ends of the
houses and have one large tank over
the boiler on the main flow? Are eight
runs of 4-inch pipes enough for a house
for roses and six pipes enough for car-
nations under weather conditions in
Kentucky? I have a No. 15 Hitchings
boiler. J* J- C.

Yes, you can dispense with the open
expansion tank at the far end of the
house. Instead of a large tank con-
nected with the main flow it would be
l)etter to connect the expansion tank
with the main return near the boiler.
A 1-inch pipe tapped into the main re-
turn near the boiler and carried eight
or ten feet above into a 50-gallon tank
should provide ample expansion for the
system. Eight runs of 4-inch cast-iron
pipe should be ample for the rose house
if the boiler has capacity to maintain
water at 180 degrees. Six runs under
the same conditions should be ample for
the carnation house. L. C. C.

TOO FEW PIPES.

We have a new and well built house
25x60 feet and thirteen feet to ridge
heating with a Gorton No. 212 »4 boiler
set in a pit and burning egg coal. On
each side of the house there are five
rows of 2-inch pipe, also the center aisle
has two rows under benches, two rows
each side of the walk. In the recent
cold weather in New York we could only
keep 45 degrees at night. What is
wrong? M. O'C.

If the house you mention, 25x60 feet,
contains fourteen runs of 2-inch pipe,
or in all 840 feet, it lacks 120 feet, or
two runs, of having sufficient piping to
maintain a temperature of 60 degrees
during cold weather with hot water at
180 degrees. It is not quite clear
whether the house contains fourteen or
sixteen runs of pipe. The boiler should
have a capacity sufficient to supply
about 800 feet of radiation, although
the sixteen runs of 2-inch pipe will only
provide- about 600 feet of radiation.

MEMORIES OF THE HOLLYHOCK.

It was in the early seventies, says a
M-riter in the Gardeners' Chronicle, that
the dread hollyhock disease (Puccinia
malvacearum) was devasting the collec-
tions of plants about the country. One
of the features of the fungus is its rapid
germination, and in 1873-4 it appeared
to be widely diffused all over Europe,
and especially in this country. Nowhere
was its virulence more severely felt than
in the fine collection then in the posses-
sion of William Chater, at Saffron Wal-
den. So destructive was it that I believe
the catalogue Chater issued in the
autumn of 1874 was the last the veteran
distributed. It is a remarkable cata-
logue, as it contains the names of 109
varieties raised by Chater, and a few by
the Rev. Edward Hawke. I have a vivid
recollection of how these two celebrated
growers of the hollyhock used to pit
their strength against each other at
Bishop Auckland in the class for twelve
spikes; and such spikes! Shall we ever
see the like again f

In 1842 Chater was gardener to a
Squire Stephenson, at Stepleburntished,
a^d becoming enamored of the hollyhock
he began both to grow it and to raise
new varieties. The first hollyhock which
it is believed he had in his garden was
Napoleon, yellow -and-red ; it was of
French extraction and rather double. Mr.
hater carefully fertilized this with one
of the improved varieties raised by C.
Baron, and the first variety he obtained
from seed was named Comet, a rosy scar-
let flower. Finding the hollyhock rising
in popularity, Mr. Chatej started in busi-
ness at Saffron Walden in the early for-
ties, and in 1844 or thereabouts he issued
his first catalogue.

Meanwhile Adam Paul, of Cheshunt,
was commencing to improve the flower,
and raised some fine varieties, but W.
Chater distanced all his competitors as
a producer of fine seedlings. I visited
him at the tinke the fungus was most de-
structive, and \it was pitiable to see how
the stock suflf^ed, fine varieties becom-
ing wholly exunguished, to the great
grief of the veteran. Younj^ stock in
frames and growing plants went down
before the ravage* of the puccinia, never
to rise again. Happily for the hollyhock
and those who admire it, the flower is
being re-established i^ public favor. A
few of Mr. Chater 's vraising have sur-
vived, and now his successors, Messrs.
Webb & Brand, are producing varieties
of excellent properties from seed.

It was high cultivation which pro-
duced fine hollyhocks in the past, and will
do so- again. Old garden soil trenched
two feet deep, and with the addition of

plenty of well-decomposed manure, is
favorable to the production of strong
growth and fine flowers. It was an old
practice to set out the plants in the
open in the autumn; but if the soil is
one retentive of moisture, wet is likely to
be injuriou^-^ittPwhrteij; while the holly-
hock is Jtmoisture-loving plant in sum-
mer. Old tufts which have flowered are
left in the ground to procure stock, and
the practice is resorted to of removing
the mould round the neck of the plant
to the width of six inches, and filling up
with sand level with the surface, and
then the action of wet and also of any
harmful iuFects is not so injurious.
Plants of fine varieties propagated in
summer are best wintered in a cold
frame, and then planted out in March
and April; it has been found that they
will bloom as finely and as early as when
planted out in autumn.

HOLLOW BLOCXS FOR WALLS.

I want to inquire if any of the read-
ers of the Review have had experience
with giflonhouse walls built of hollow
concrete blocks? There is a concern in
my town which makes a popular patent
building block, using sharp sand and
Portland cement. Tl^ blocks have open
spaces and when laid up make what may
well be called a hollow wall.^ The mak-
ers claim it to be nonporous and hence
frost and dampness proof. The blocks
are 8x9x24 inches and the makers claim
it is cheaper than any other kind of
good wall. Posts for gutter supports
need be only about thirty inches lone,
1^/^-inch pipe set into the wall and made
secure by cement. I intend remodeling
my houses and making some additions
and want to use the best material. If
anyone has used such hollow blocks for
walls I should be glad to have him give
his experience. J. H. S.

GLAZING AND PIPING.

I am thinking of building another
house this spring and would like to know
which you would recommend, butted or
lapped glass? In my houses the putty
does not stay; it falls out like flour.
The new house is to be 18x70 and about
ten feet to the ridge, running north and
south. How many runs of pipe will be
needed to maintain 60 degrees under
Massachusetts weather conditions? The
hole in the heater is for a 4-inch pipe.

R. S. H.

In a humid climate like Massachusetts,
where the mercury reaches a low de-
gree several times during the winter, I
do not think it would be wise to use
butted glass. It is almost impossible to
make a tight roof with butted glass. If
good 'putty is used and the work is done
during warm weather and the sash bars
kept well painted both outside and in-
side there should be no diflBculty in
maintaining a tight roof with lapped
glass. With lapped glass, however, no
lap should be more than one-eighth of
an inch wide. If I read your question
aright, that you wish to use 4-inch pipe,
six ruis arranged so as to place a loop
under each of the three benches will be
sufficient to maintain a temperature of
60 degrees provided the furnace heats
the water to 180 degrees. L. C. C.
